The Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalist of Them All!

Splendiferous · Dec 1, 2003, 02:44 PM

Ok, there are a lot of mettalheads here, and a lot of people who listen to and appreciate the odd heavy metal song or two. So ...

Who's the greatest of them all? This may have been asked before, and I've probably missed many out ... but ... bite me!

becks-orion · Dec 1, 2003, 07:08 PM

allthough very tempted to go for bob the builder... i chose Steve Tyler...

let me guess... you're the vote for Bruce Dickinson...

looking forward to anything by any chance?

I'll go with Serj.

rock on.

Splendiferous · Dec 2, 2003, 12:58 PM

Yup, that was me

And I get to see the man himself the day after tomorrow!!!

Seriously, though, Mr. Dickinson has an amazing vocal range - sometimes he doesn't even sound like himself (check out The Ballad of Mutt from his solo career). He's got great stage presence, though.

Of course, all these guys are great too

i voted for "other" because im a huge fan of MEATLOAF why the hell was MEATLOAF not listed MEATLOAF is a living legend put MEATLOAF on the chart. i also like alice coppers music

Splendiferous · Dec 4, 2003, 05:09 AM

Because, you fool, Meat Loaf is not Heavy Metal. Meat Loaf is classic rock. A living klegend, most cdertainly, but a living legend of classic rock.

If I were doing a Greatest Vocalist Ever poll and including classic rock, I would have voted for Freddie Mercury. But this is heavy metal. So nyah.

And Becks ... I'm sorry, but the poll was based on my limited personal experience, and I'm not familiar with female heavy metal vocalists, except maybe Joan Jett, but was she metal or classic rock? I'm very picky

You can post your own Female vocalists poll if you like, or just urge everyone to vote other

Know I think his real name is something like William Bill Bailey.

One other guy I will like to mention because I am listening to Ratt, what about Jizzy Pearl
