Why is he a bad choice, Todd La Torre has an excellent voice.

Meh. Cherone still better than that dude Queen hired (not Paul Rodgers). Just awful.

You mean the flaming American Idol dude? I thought he was a pretty solid fit vocally lol

But also, I remember when the remaining INXS members had a televised talent contest to replace Hutchence. And as a huge fan as a kid (first concert I ever attended) I felt severely pissed and disrespected so maybe it's a bias thing

I would say Chester Bennington in Stone Temple Pilots, but this track f&%king slaps!

To those saying Mickey Thomas my guess is they've never seen him sing live because if they had they definitely wouldn't be saying that. Dude's an unbelievable singer!

My first thought. She's a good singer but such a complete change of direction from Tarja. I felt bad that she got a lot of hate, but Nightwish knocked it out of the park on the next try with Floor.

They could have picked Jim Dandy.

The Filipino guy that they found to replace Steve Perry in Journey
What? He sounds more like Steve Perry than Steve Perry. This might be the most successful replacement of all time.

Gary Cherone is a perfect fit for a band like Extreme but was a terrible choice made by 2 drunk brothers who always thought they could just plug in any singer.

No he doesn't, he sounds like the singer from a Filipino Journey tribute band.
