Especially on Triumph's early albums.

You can add Roger Hodgeson from Supertramp to that list.

True. Though the music isn't as heavy, the vocals are definintely in the same "castrato" category.

None of those sound alike to me.

Listen to Stryper's ballads and then some Styx.

I definately see the Stryper/Styx similarities

I have thought that for years - listing to In God We Trust and the vocal harmonies, very much Styx like

Brian Johnson and Bon Scott in some ways.

Mike Lee (Barren Cross) and Bruce Dickenson
Lead singer Ralf Scheepers from Primal Fear and Rob Halford
Ult reminds me a little of the lead singer of Overkill...vocal wise not style

I don't know what the guy's name is, but the lead singer of Hellfueled is a dead ringer for Ozzy. So much so, if you put on one of their albums, it's sounds like a latter-day Ozzy solo album.

EDIT: it's Andy Alkman if anyone cares.

I remember reading that in BWBK, are they any good?

You can throw David Benson into that mix.

Axl Rose at times is a deadringer for Dan McCafferty in the vocal department.

Also Cormac Neeson of the Answer sounds alot like Steve Marriott........or Paul Rodgers. Cant decide which he's more like, more like Marriott's vocal sound with Rodgers' phrasings.

Every death metal vocalist sounds like every death metal vocalist. Does that count? GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lethal's Tom Malicoat also fits in that list btw.

Jimmy P. Brown and Geoff Tate

Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie Munro (last mc album)

Most death metal have similar diaphragms, but having listen to quite a bunch of it, can tell differences.

The differences come in
1. Pitch (some are Lord Wurm, some are Chris Barnes on Tomb of the Mutilated)
2. Inhale vs Exhale (normally, people who exhale can pronounce better, although the Inhale usually results in the 'pig-squeal' method)
3. Pronunciation/Enunciation (some like George Fisher, can pronounce and say every verse rapid fire, whereas others like John Tardy from Obituary, use their vocals to carry thru the dead-effect more, which is normally seen in much of that newer goregrind crap. In other words, some vocals don't even single actual words, they just make growling noises to make it seem like they have lyrics)
4. Deciphability (Chuck Schuldiner from DEATH had a gravel throat, which allowed more of his lyrics to be understood, as opposed to ...well Chris Barnes from Tomb of the Mutilated, which little to any can be understood. Barnes pronounced every lyric he wrote, but it was all masked under the low pitch death growl.)

I'd go with that and the Astral Doors one.

The falsetto of Into Eternity's vocalist sounds like the falsetto for 3 Inches Of Blood voalist who both sound like the falsetto of Guy Ritter who himself has been compared to King Diamond.

Wes Edward Waddell (Seasons Of The Wolf) sound a lot like Bobby Blitz with a little bit of Jon Oliva mixed in.

Peter Gabriel and Fish
