Greatest Metal Singer

Freddie is king when it comes to singers and frontmen.

METAL singer. I wouldn't exactly call Queen metal.

Voted for Het.

All are great vocalists in their own right (well, except for Ozzy) but I went with Paul Stanley. He's more of a personal fave though and I wouldn't argue any of the others because they all have their own great style (well, except for Ozzy).

Throw in Alice, Halford, Mustaine and Axl and that's probably my Top 5 Faves.

Not to start a genre war or anything, but it depends on the song.

All innovative and fathers of what most take after. However im gonna have to say my personal fave is Greg Puciato. Great voice wether hes singing or screaming and walks on people. Truly a great.

I chose Dickinson, but it's really a three-way tie between him, Dio and Halford for me. I only chose Bruce because of the three bands, I would lean toward Iron Maiden. It's very hard to pin down one singer because I like so many, but I would add Kahn, Russell Allen and Mikael Åkerfeldt to the list.

Why isn't ult on the list?

Dio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex

Went with Plant. Some really good ones are listed.

You left out IAN GILLAN but listed MARILYN FAGSON?!

I'm very dissappointed.

Really! Gillan is one of the greats!!

Freddie Mercury should be there. And Geoff Tate. Maybe even James LaBrie, Rob Rock or Michael Sweet. I'm not sure of a couple of inclusions, like Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, as they are nowhere near the same league as Dickinson, Halford and Plant. I voted for Bruce

Dee Snider, anybody?

I love you!

Schbopo - he means it, and it's not brotherly. You've been warned!

Wow, Marylin Manson huh..........


Anyways, Roger Martinez because he didnt care what he sounded like and it came across nar nar in my opinion. If comparing ferociousness rather then tone or quality, I'd say him.

But the best sounding vocalist I think is Jon Oliva.

Ya actually, Dee's pretty talented. I honestly gotta say I missed that one.

[quote="Stender"]Wow, Marylin Manson huh..........

Notice that he has no votes!

Why the f*ck is Marilyn Manson up there?!?!He dosen't even sing he just talks in a wierd voice!!!

I was sad to see Michael Kiske not up there but I guess he isnt so metal nowadays is he? But anyway Bruce is my choice. He can still sing the old songs just as good if not better than he sang them when he was younger.
