Drumming boggles my mind. Can't imagine adding vocal duties as well.

The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Blues Breakers, Blind Faith and Cream era Clapton is alot different then Solo and Derek and the Dominos era Clapton. Why would he want to sing lead in Cream when he had Jack Bruce in the band he hated that they made him sing Strange Brew and with Crossroads he had been doing that song before Cream. It wasn't so much of him hating it he just didn't have faith in his singing so he needed guys like Tom Dowd reassure him that it was ok.Clapton hates to sing. He doesn't do it during lead or difficult guitar parts. Mostly during rhythm type stuff. He even hates to sing when he's not playing anything. He really hates it and would rather not at all unless his producer basically commands him to (source: Cream documentary)

Dave Mustaine doesn't have a hell of a range, but speed metal don't need one. He's impressively able to sing and play at the same time through staccato, intense rhythms.
Hell, he can play spider chord progressions while singing, that amazes me
These guys seem to be doing okay w/ it…
Also, RIP Schuldiner…
Cobain was a terrible singer and a mediocre guitar player. Nirvana was terrible.
Dude was a great songwriter. Sorry you missed the boat.
RIP Chuck
THe bass player is the least loved out of all band members too.
It goes in this order
1) frontman
2) lead guitarist
3) drummer
4) bass
Bass players are the unsung heroes of the band and never receive the love they deserve.
They’re the equivalent of the Center in Football. Such an important position but so undervalued
