Alexisonfire has no singing whatsoever. It's just really poor screaming. At least Billy Talent's singer sings (I actually think he's comparable to Raine as both their voices have an interesting and unique sound to them). Not too mention Billy Talent just simply has better songs.

I'm assuming you haven't eard anything from their new album, they've really matured and there is some singing.

I've never seen Alexisonfire live before. I've heard bits of their stuff, and a friend of mine is friends with them. She listens to crap music, so I can only assume they are somewhat crappy.

I liked Billy Talent's live show a lot.

Ooooooooooh, I can't choose.

Billy Talent has the cooler songs.

but Alexisonfire has the most kick-ass songs.



This is sooooo gonna annoy me.

There should be a "NEITHER!!! THEY BOTH ROOOOOCK!!!!!!!!!" option.

I like both, and I've seen them both live. Each band put on a great show and has an excellent attitude toward their profession.

But, I just like Billy Talent better overall. Screaming is not only tolerated but encouraged for myself... but, Alexisonfire took it to the extreme.

I like them both, they are two great young Candian bands who have bright futures. But I must say I like Billy Talent a lot more because all their songs are different and unique. The singer, Ben I think, has such a unique voice and is a great frontman, even if he does copy all of Lydon's moves.

I hate them both, but Billy Talent's better in my opinion.

Yeah Ben actually sings, his songs are better, if a bit immaturely written. And Ian is a better guitarist. I can't stand Alexisonfire in most cases, but Billy Talnet is pretty cool once you let them grow on you.

I guess, I would just never let them grow on me.

they're still not my favorite band or anything, but i bought the album and i was basically satisfied. I didn't realize they're a lot more Screamo then the Singles eldue to though which made me think of Alexisonfire

The vocalist from Alexisonfire can't scream, much less sing.

no the reason why they are named Alexisonfire is because the members were watching TV and saw an exoctic dancer that was named "Alexisfire." And they sightly changed the name and claimed it as their band name.
