Favorite Metal Vocalist

[name not needed]

Poll question: Favorite Metal Vocalist

Its just the first 8 I could think of. So choose from them. Plant is listed because Led Zeppelin was one of the founding fathers of hard rock and the genre.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. He was the absolute quitessential jerkoff...

and I should know, I used to work for the asshole, but god love his pimply, worthless ass, Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot had a set of pipes on him that just did not know the meaning of the word quit. Simply amazing.

[chaska]

30. Who??? Plant or DuBrow?

[Keebs]

2. I vote Axl Rose, d00d.

My husband swears Tool is more 'metal' than Guns n Roses but he can kiss my big ass. LOL

[swag]

3. Ian Gillan

[LTR]

4. Angus Young a singer?

:wtf:

Anybody tell Bon Scott or Brian Johnson?

[name not needed]

5. Whoops

Thanks for the reminder

[Philosophy]

6. Chris Cornell

Soundgarden / Temple of the Dog / solo stuff / Audioslave

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. In your Dio option, you forgot to include Rainbow.

The four albums Dio and Blackmore made together are some of my favorite heavy metal records ever. I voted for Ronnie.

8. Other.............

[ET Awful]

9. Geoff Tate from Queensryche deserves Honorable Mention at least

:)

Listen to his stuff on the Operation Mindcrime album.

[Vladimir]

32. True, very true

best concept album ever.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

10. Mike Patton from Faith No More..............

should be somewhere on that list. Don't let his poop fetish scare you.

[KissMyAsscroft]

11. I was thinking that too...

But I dont think Patton would classify himself as metal...

[CrownPrinceBandar]

12. I would agree for the most part........

but "Angel Dust" (my fav FNM album) was most definately a metal album.

[KissMyAsscroft]

14. He is always lamenting the metal and neu-metal scenes...

He would definitely not fall under the metal category.

I guess Angel Dust was metal, but it was pretty experimental, twisted stuff.

[Cush]

13. another vote for Patton

I'm actually listening to "This Is It: The Best Of Faith No More" right now

[FDRrocks]

15. Dani Davey from Cradle of Filth n/t

[CanuckAmok]

25. Yeah, that's the logical conclusion of all metal voices...

Dani has it down!

[proud patriot]

16. Dave Mustane

Geoff Tate

Tool's leader singer I don't know his name but I like him too

[ForrestGump]

17. How could you leave off:

I'm just sayin'....

[ForrestGump]

18. How could you leave off:

I'm just sayin'....

[Sindawe]

19. Of the choices offered...

Rob Halford gets my nod. I loved Judas Priest before I knew what metal was, and have bought their catalog of music serveral times over with each tech change. And he provided the most amusement to me in the 1980's when Metal really started taking off. All my buds started buying their albums and emulating his mode of dress. *I* knew the origions of the leather & studs biker look, but my friends did not believe me when I told them of it, and my suspicions about his sexual prefferances. We had many a long, drunken debate on the subject, usually ending with me being told I was full of excrement and did not know what I was talking about. LOL But I was right. As I usually am...

[HornBuckler]

20. Evil Elvis Anyone?

<>

[Mike Niendorff]

21. Of the choices listed, I've gotta go with Dave Mustaine

If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time

22. Jeez no love for Hetfield

Pity votes, people!

[Donkeyboy75]

23. Paul Di'Anno

I liked him better than Bruce. Shame his voice went to hell.

[Zomby Woof]

24. King Diamond

Mercyful Fate and solo albums. Possesses an operatic range, but with testicles intact (which is why many metal vocalists can be grating, they have their balls in a vice). Once you hear King Diamond run through some scales, you will throw away your Freddie Mercury posters. And albums, I hope.

[Bride of Cthulhu]

34. I agree King Diamond is the best !!

:headbang::headbang:

[Zomby Woof]

35. Welcome to DU!

Any friend of Cthulhu is a friend of mine...

[LastKnight]

26. that would have to go to Maynard

james keenan of Tool and APC. that dude is a fucking amazing vocalist and equally amazing writer.

second place is zach de la rocha... formerly of RATM... good writer and all, but he can get a bit raspy.

-LK

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Have to go with Dio, though Ian Gillan is awfully close

and don't forget that Dio was also with "Elf".

[MrSlayer]

28. TOM ARAYA, Satan's voice on earth.

[LastKnight]

29. satan's new voice on earth could very well be

david draiman of disturbed



that dude has such a vocal range, its scary.

-LK

[Vladimir]

31. Halford and Brucey doing the duet

on the resurrection album... pure genius. I saw them do it live too...

[No2W2004]

33. Copper

Copper bells sound nice.

[AngryAmish]

36. No Lemmy?!?

If Motorhead is not the way all metal should sound, then one must like hair metal.

BTW I voted for Rob Halford, just because I have been listening to Judas Priest all weekend. I am not a JP fan, but I guess I got in the mood.
