Metal Sludge Gossip Board

Veteran hair metal band singer Stevie Rachelle of Tuff fame, as well as MetalSludge CEO, rejects current hair metal kings, Ghost, who have the album of the year, as well as blistering across America with their sold out arena tour of the year, Skeletaltour. Rachelle, seemingly out of touch with the pulse of today’s hair metal scene states, “I just don’t get it, why isnt my band Tuff headlining sold out arenas this summer, it’s a crime”



Disclaimer- this post is meant as satire, Mr CEO never said this. It’s meant as humor

I'm embarrassed for you.

While I am not a fan of Ghost... why would you make up a blatant lie and false statement about me - adding a fake quote - that I never said too boot?

Please explain?

lol it’s like a satire article. You definitely never said that. I thought it would be funny lol. Much respect dude

Hair metal kings

Ouch. That’s not too scary at all

I’ve seen them 3 or 4 times. Good show but papa is a much better stand up (doing his best father guido sarducci) than he is a singer.

Lol. He’s a fantastic singer, especially now that he’s not wearing a full mask that muffles his voice and makes it sound nasally

C'mon. He's a PASSABLE singer at best. I do like his voice although it's very 1-dimesional. He proved at the Ozzy thing that he is barely a mediocre karaoke-level singer. Great songwriter though and his voice works OK for their music. When I saw him he obviously was singing along to tracks with 2 or 3 part harmonies which really helped but if you saw the tv appearances where it was all him, it was NOT great to say the least. I guess the band sings with him now. I wouldn't know. Don't even bother trying to convince he is "fantastic". Bitch please.

You can hear his voice pretty clearly here and he is pitchy AF.

They don’t use any tracks at all anymore since they now have like 10 bandmembers. It’s been like that since 2018. They did use backing vocal tracks when there was only 6 bandmembers

no shit

The point is, they all sound better than his real voice. I love latter-day Voivod and also like BOC so I like his voice even though he seems to have a 10-note range and exactly 1 style for everything.

I guess u haven’t seen them in years. Tobias’s voice sounds fantastic since they changed to the 10 person band lineup in 2018 with real backing vocals. Very underrated singer. Sure he’s not a virtuoso like Ian Astbury from The Cult, but he’s excellent at what he does

I suppose that’s a smart choice to save your voice during a long tour. Plus female backup singers alway look awesome on stage.

this is like if ‘don’t damn me’ did standup

I saw Ghost when they opened for Iron Maiden. I had taken a buddy along who wasn’t really into metal. I ended up apologising to him about Ghost. They were embarrassingly silly live I thought. All good they are enjoying success but to me they offer absolutely nothing new and many others do that schtick better.

Also, I kept having flashbacks of this:

The CEO realises what this site is, right?

isn't satire supposed to be funny?
this isn't even mildly amusing.

Tuff didn’t turn down Ghost tour it was Mandy Lion

Jelly Roll can’t turn down McDonalds

You're LITERALLY saying he sounds better because you hear much less of his voice. I don't disagree though.

This whole thread is a fail.........

If stupidity was punishable offence that retard would've been electrocuted years ago.
