Any artists who sound like MG that you know of?

[hungte]

I want to find a new artist or two.

[S.E. Hardy]

There are no other MGs.

[hungte]

Damn you sammyspade you have to try harder than that ;)

[juanpe]

i may compare many american, canadian, british AND spanish bands and I haven't found a single singer who sounds like MG... he's unique, that's why i like him so much ;)

[S.E. Hardy]

Damn you sammyspade you have to try harder than that ;)

It's a fact. There are no other MG's. Sorry :angry:

[juanpe]

... and fortunately there are no other MG's ;)

[Dan #1]

thats why i dont give too many other artists chances ;) ... they just dont sound the same

[Crusader]

You know what? He does remind me of someone... I'll get back to you when I find it. But he is quite unique.

[Dan #1]

anton, what did we learn in english ;) .... you never use a adjective before "unique"

 

anyways... ill keep my eyes and ears open and try to find someone that is similar to matt good.

[Crusader]

LOL doc smith is my hero.

 

And yes MG sounds like old 70's rock. Not the stupid uppy stuff but the harder stuff.

[Dan #1]

hmmm, do you have any band names to give an example? Never been into that era of music you know ;) except i do love my oldies

[juanpe]

Dan, and you say "an" before a word starting with a vowel, so you need to say "an adjective" and not "a adjective" ;) hahaha

[Dan #1]

The first time was a mistake ... i did it correctly here ;)

hmmm, do you have any band names to give an example?

 

don't worry... my english is gooder than that.

[juanpe]

"gooder"??? :angry: i also learned in my classes that the comparative form is "better" ;) is this correct in Canadian English?

[viggy]

actually. matt reminds me a bit of michael stipe and REM.

[juanpe]

really? you know what? a friend of mine, the first time he heard MG told me the same... but i dont really see the similarity...

[Dan #1]

REM is a good band :angry:

 

*** juanpe... the use of "gooder" was a joke ;) it is improper to use it in the english language :angry:

[juanpe]

(I know, i know it was a joke ;) i was kidding too...)

 

Dan, do you find similarities between Matt's voice and Michael's from REM?

[Dan #1]

Not really, i dont notice any similarities myself.

I know that a few people who like listening to Matt like listening to REM though. Maybe there is a similarity but i am not sure once again.

[Crusader]

The lead REM singer sounds more like Gordon from the tragically hip.

[Dan #1]

they are all great bands. REM, Tragically hip, etc.

[no yu begin wher i end]

I think maybe Hawksley Workman, Weakerthans, Limblifter, the older Underdogs stuff has undertones of the Pixies as well.

[juanpe]

well, yeah, it may sound a bit similar but Frank Black's voice similar to Matt's? Dont see any similarity, i may be wrong...

[mg_forlife]

It's like once you've had Matt, you can never go back . ;) I haven't found anyone else with a voice as addictive and perfect as his. The music is amazing too. I like Coldplay (The Scientist) and The Verve, but neither come close to how much I like MG. I'll check out REM sometime to see if I like them and if I hear any similarities.

[Dan #1]

So if Matt's voice is so great... then why aren't there more fans? ;)

Im not saying he doesnt have enough, but if he has the "greatest" voice there should be more. I agree his voice is the best, but there are a lot of people who complain about it.
