The 10 best metal vocalists I ever listened to

[julianholguin]

The great thing about In Flames' singer is he's screaming in a way that won't mess up his voice. He can keep doing that shit for ever and then start actually singing right after.

[cottjeff]

Dio / Halford / Geoff Tate all three belong on any greatest metal vocalist now these guy can sing unlike some of these guys on the list

[troyanojacinto]

Tom Araya hasn´t technique or talent at singing, he simply screams

[mrcheesy3222]

wat about matt shadows?

[sphs440076]

What's the song from Amon Amarth??

[troyanojacinto]

@sphs440076 Gods Of War Arise

[DL2600]

Where is Brett Michaels?

[JobForATurtle]

@DL2600 funny joke

[ACBrotherhood5]

Where is Rob Halford?

Where is King Diamond?

Where is Ronnie?

Where is Ozzy Osbourne?

[boskymyszcz]

The fact that there are no fucking screamo bands makes me wanna cry with joy... ]v[egadet]-[!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kim12377]

DUDE...EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP IS HIS OPINION...

[aheaddrummerkid]

where the fuck is halford?

no love for the metal god?

[nixa666]

my dog sounds like that nergal guy

[RazorHeadMetal]

Tom Araya is a great musician, but he doesnt sing! I mean Bruce and the guy from Shadows Fall and mabney Hetfield are like the only ones that can actually sing. Dont get me wrong I love all these bands accept In Flames, but most of them are not good singers man!

[hdmcall]

Hetfield sounds so much better because he doesn't do that growling crap

[FlamingPineapples1]

why is dio never in any of these lists?

[ralfisloved]

Why are you adding vocalists who sing exclusively in death growl?

[alucard123death]

Are you fucking kidding me WHERE IS RONNIE JAMES DIO PROBABLY THE BEST METAL SINGER EVER!?

[caueputtinato]

jonny davy, dez fafara, devin townsend,tomas lindberg, Mikael Åkerfeldt, shagrath....No?

[jcolivarules]

If this is the best 10 metal vocalist you ever listened to than you never heard Goeff Tate, Halford, RJ Dio and David Reece. I mean, PLEASE, if Halford(like him or not)is not at least top 10, I can't take it seriously. It's not even an opinion, it's a fact!

[Greencheese333]

fuck that dave mustaine does sing and is good. i dont know why behemoth is on here. the vocalist has no pitch change and sounds like he scream with a mouth full of something. worst vocalist ever.

[slayyer000]

horrible

[supermanjack7]

WOW i agree with hetfeild but thats it and i would put him at 7

[Sarragoth]

@supermanjack7 It is in a random order...

[rollad2]

Randy Blythe!

[makeitsoproductions]

wtf no serj tankian?!

[MrPudendum]

@makeitsoproductions serj should be on this list.

[craiginith]

WHERE IS CHUCK SHULDINER? NO LOVE FOR DEATH?

[MrChebab]

Dave talks trough the songs

[MrSonatafragger]

You forgot Pest from Gorgoroth.

[SorgOfficial]

@MrSonatafragger Hat is better

[superjacob99]

you douchebags need to realize who sounds good live. hetfeild sucks ass. dave mustaine is horrible. you sir are a jackass

[LondonPunker]

MEGADETH = MEGAFAIL!!!

[cprivette4880]

yep randy blythe is pretty great, im seeing LOG live monday the 9 im thrilled

[jdxv1313]

u should have went to mayhem fest 2010, shadows fall, and lamb of god where there and all that remained was playing last year!

[tattooboy327]

I couldve done without the Behemoth and Slayer but other than that...it was an excellent pick of vocalists!!! However like you said it is your vid so im not sayin what shouldve been on here.... those were just 2 I dont care for much...Slayer is good but after meeting King-he was a fucking dick so it ruined them for me...you meet one of your favorite guitarists and hes a dick to you...trust me its a let down so I never listened to another song again.Then Behemoth are good but I never got into em.

[skoota1221]

tom araya is better than dave mustaine...........

[dougclub1]

RANDY FUCKING BLYTHE!!!!!!!!

[XxXxXxmetalxXxXxX]

imo i think Chrisitan Alvestam is one of he greatest metal vocalists ever and deserves a spot up here.

[DreaDethklok14]

haha runner ups ,

rob halford

alexi laiho

brendan small

DAVE MUSTAINE !

[PPanzerr]

TOM!

[Shankxx88]

WHERES PHIL ANSELMO???????? FUCK THIS SHIT

[gibbsies]

@Shankxx88 phil was only good in studio.. sadly :(

[Fluffypopcicle]

tom araya sucks. he doesn't even sing, he just shouts random shit. i wouldn't even have him in my top 100. having rob halford only in the runner ups is disgraceful. james hetfield used to be good, but now he sucks. good call on the rest though, but i don't think you have ever heard roy khan from kamelot. if god had a singing voice i'm pretty sure it would sound like roy khan.

[MrClevenger777]

Randy Blythe has got to the best I've ever heard. He has the best range of any vocalist., high and low notes are not a problem for him. Phil Labonte, Anders Fridén, Björn "Speed" Strid (Soil Work), Ryan Clark (Demon Hunter), and Chad Grey (Mudvayne) have got to be the top of my list. Yours very great btw.

[prubare]

Oooooooooooooh shit, either you never heard of this vocalist or youre deaf. I listen to Allot of different genres of metal and I have never heard a vocalist with such range as Christian Alvestam. Just type his name in and watch him recording, or listen to the song Prism and Gate, then youll see.

[WiiGamerof1995]

5:39 that is some crazy hair

[Riven1989]

cool!

But you should have made a list only in a given genre.

I mean, death metal vocals are obviously not comparable to heavy/ thrash or metalcore vocals (for example)

Not better or worse, just not comparable.

Anyway, in you list, I prefered Randy blythe and Tom Araya :)

[sTwIShadowww]

Hetfield 4ever!!!

[chelsea00boss]

Dave is not a singer

[DethmetalUSA]

@chelsea00boss not only is he a singer he is a singer AND a guitarists (a good one) just like james!

[chelsea00boss]

i agree man .. he is a great guitarist

go check out megadeth's 2009 videos ..

his voice is shit these days

[DethmetalUSA]

@chelsea00boss i disagree

[mickeltheheadbanger]

lol you but all the singers of huge metal band man. They are awesome but, look a little bit more in the underground, you'll probably be surprised.

[Machx72]

You left out Chuck Billy. He owns just about everyone here aside from Mustaine and Hetfield.

[DethmetalUSA]

geez now that i think about it, i'm gonna have to make a sequel w/ him in it

[666valentin66]

i say, lamb of god is really good, , listen to divine heresy, the singer as got a good voice=)

[harvesterofsorrow111]

Nice list, mine would be different though

[DethmetalUSA]

Well thats YOUR opinion

This is MY opinion

[harvesterofsorrow111]

ok take it easy!!

I never said your list wasn't valid, I know thats your opinion

[dinrotem]

randy and bruce !!!!! FTW

[LukeTheBeef]

Very nice

but i think my list would be alot dofferent

[666valentin66]

yeah sa tue ^^ lamb of god genial wai

ecoute divine heresy, il a une superbe voi =)

[DethmetalUSA]
