Best "metal scream"

This topic is actually divided into two questions:

- who would be the best "screamer" among all metal singers?

- which song does have the best screams?

- Ski (FAITH FACTOR, ex-DEADLY BLESSING, ex-ALTERED STATE)
- JUDAS PRIEST - "Victim of Changes" (from "Unleashed in the East")

Temple Of Blood beat me to it, but I would choose these two (off the top of my head).

Rob Halford - Victim Of Changes (from Unleashed In The East)
Ian Gillan - Strange Kind Of Woman (from Made In Japan)

Those two vocalists would also get my vote for "best screamers"....just listen to Born Again for proof.

Those screams at the end of "Disturbing the Priest" are classic.

Halford gets my vote as best screamer all around, and my vote for the song with the best screams is Halford again, for "Sad Wings" (on the LIVE INSURRECTION album)

I've always liked Tom's scream at the beginning of Slayer's Angel of Death. As for Halford, I once tried to scream along "Stand by for exciter!!!!!!" and almost passed out.

I've always thought that Bruce's scream at the end of Flight of Icarus is just KILLER. There's just something about it. It's not long, it's not particularly hard (lots of screamers can do it), but it's just got that "feel"...I guess it's the buildup that does it.

Best screamer? Lizzy Borden might be it. Just watch the Murderess Metal Road Show DVD...

The best screamer is Rob Halford to me.

The best scream is Brutal Truth's song "Walking Corpse"

What about Chris Cornell in "Gun" off Louder Than Love.

Ian Gillan was the best in my opinion. I also like Michael Sweet when he does them.

Favorite screams would be -

Ian Gillan - Child in Time, Disturbing the Priest

Michael Sweet - Rock the Hell Out of You, In God We Trust

Bruce Dickenson after the first verse of Number of the Beast = Awesome.

It ain't really metal, but Brad Delp's screech right before the solo in "More Than A Feeling" is pretty epic.
