I know I tend to keep this blog light- and thats done deliberately. I keep alot of my personal life out of here and I realized that many of you don't know much about "me".
I just had drinks with a new -but good-friend. He is an amazing amazing guy who is the host of a rock music station. We got to talking about hard rock, metal, and it was one of the funnest and coolest conversations I've had in awhile.
I have loved hard rock music since I was about 5. My uncle took me to my first concert which was Kiss since he went to high school with Paul. Rumor has it that I was a cute little blonde girl whom he dressed in black and put the white/black face makeup on and a complete chick magnet. I believe that created my deep and unwavoring love of heavy music.
I do like many different kinds of music. However, I truly love LOVE hard rock. I know, it seems strange since I host alot of clubs. And I do like house music but my heart remains true to rock n' roll (metal more specifically).
There are a few singers out there whose voices make me melt. They make me cry, I feel their pain and I just can't be moved that much by any other genre of music. My new friend and I were having such a great talk that I started listing my top 5 singers. I couldn't quite narrow it down but it was fun to try.
I listen to these groups and singers, whatever project they may be in, quite religiously. Here they are:
Kristins Top Singers
1. Layne Staley (Alice in Chains) - no one could ever compare to him
2. Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour)
3. Chester Bennington (Linkin Park)
4. Zach De La Rocha (Rage Against the Machine)
5. Lajon Witherspoon (Sevendust)
6. Edsel Dope (Dope)
7. Josh Todd (Buckcherry)
