my top 10: -roy khan (kamelot) -michael kiske (helloween) -david wayne (metal church) -michael matijevic (steelheart) -bruce dickinson (iron maiden) -dave coverdale (whitesnake) -phil anselmo (pantera) -genki hitomi (Vow Wow) -messiah marcolin (candlemass) -carlos zema (outworld) dio, halford, ozzy and the likes are all awesome as well. just not in my top 10 is all. :P
David Lee Roth is not a metal singer and Van Halen never was a metal band! They are plain and simply rock and roll! Plus Ian Gillan also is not a metal singer. He may have sang lead vocal on Black Sabbath's Born Again album, but he obviously would never compare to Ozzy Osbourne who should undeniably be number 1. Funny enough, there is a metal vocalist that has an awesome powerful voice but he is very underrated. It's Steve Grimmett from the British metal band Grim Reaper.
@CentraCross Dude your retarded have you heard rust in peace or dawn patrol? Or even take no prisoners? He sounds like he's fucking constipated, and he can't sing worth shit live. At least James could sing... But then he lost his voice. And if u think metallica sucks live, check out seattle 89 or Moscow 91.
and black sabbath and judas priest destroy iron maiden......iron plus maiden equals--NO DRIVE!!!.....and metal is all about drive...sabbath(children of the grave)ozzy(desire)metallica(enter sandman)black label society(funeral bell)judas priest(anything)........when you look down and are running 90 mph....you know its metal.
bruce dikinson and ronnie james are fantastic,but are very streamlined.....they arent very versitle....dan mccafferty from nazareth is the most forgotten singer,he is a monster...bon,ozzy,brian j,and blackie lawless got to be in there...and ian ....mercury,perry,and coverdale are awesome,but not really metal....but...rob halford is the king....nobody is more powerful,or versitle....from screaming speed metal to ballads or really anything rock....rob kinda stands alone.
Really? You are comparing Mike Patton and clown David Lee Roth with legends like Ian Gillan, Rob Halford, Dio and Bruce Dickinson? You must be on crack!!! Where's Ozzy, Geoff Tate, Klaus Meine, Glenn Hughes, Bon Scott, Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Paul Stanley, Axl Rose, Geddy Lee, Joe Elliot, Steve Perry ...?? David Lee Roth is top ten in metal??? What an insult to those mentioned above ... Why don't you add George Michael to the list?
Kai Hansen? Jorn Lande? Andi Deris? Joacim Cans? and Ozzy should be here. Even if he is a a little bit more than decent singer, hes actually father and grandfather of Heavy Metal, dude -.-
Whoever made up this list is a plank! Rob Halford got to be up there 1st. Gillan, Dio a tough call for 2nd place, Dickinson 3rd. Never heard of the many of the rest. These 4 fellahs I've listed have got to be the best rock vocalists ever!! I'm a singer and a bass player just incase anyone decides to question the musical side of things, I do know about musicianship xx
@tamalexis Thanks for replying. Didn't think anyone would take any notice of my little comment. RH topped the given list for me musically speaking, tho there are many others. Dio, a legend, no doubt. In this genre it's RH for my top vote. Sounding the same live or recorded is a talent thing, these fellas got it. Someone mentioned Justin Beiber, is that good live or recorded????? LOL. Answers on a postcard please girls and boys xx
Oh shit!!.. I forgot some other outsanding metal singers..... (short term memory loss)........Ian Gillian, Dee Snider, Maynard Keenan...............stick a fork in me...im done..
Instead of typing (to be continued), I should have typed; (see above)....lol...my linked posts read just like everyone elses here, from BOTTOM TO TOP.....so, (see below)..UTUBE NEEDS TO GIVE US MORE CHARACTERS IN THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......LOL.. Or less characters if you think I have TOOOOO much to say....Ur call...peace out..
I doubt Ronnie ever wanted to be anything else in his life than a singer, I am certain that he would have been successful at whatever endeavors he put his mind to. Just my opinion....RIP Ronnie....We love you forever
He held a strong, wide stance with his feet grounded, steady and strong. His elfish stature was a vivid contrast to his vocal power. He seemed to conjure up the persona of an 8' tall man on stage. His ability to sound almost nothing like he looked was mystical, sureal in a live setting for this teenager when I saw Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in 1976, an experience I will never forget. Dio somehow translated the idea that you could be anything you put your heart and soul into.(to be continued)
My list includes Bon Scott (RIP), Robert Plant, Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage), Geoff Tate, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, James Hetfield, and my pick for all-time best metalist Ronnie James Dio. Dio had it all; pitch control, solid vocal range, breathing control, projection, lyrical integrity, and TONS of stage presence. Ronnie would do things like twirl his hands in the air above the mic, look into the audience for the benevolent spirit that surely will appear any second. (to be continued).
These "best of" lists are pretty cool, but, at the end of the day, they are mental masturbation...of which I am very fond of...Guess I will get my 4 cents worth in then... To my way of thinkin', the reason singers make these lists is because either they are technically superior OR they are an amazing stylist...Very few have it all... Style, chops, stage presence, and lyrical integrity are the keys for my list of metalists... I refuse to number them except I will name my fav.. (To be continued)
you can throw a rock outta the window of your car and hit somebody in the head who can sing better than half of this list.....dio,ozzy,blackie,bon,dan mccafferty....and rob halford is king!!!!
i like the guys that have really distinctive voices too....like Halford and Tate...the range on Halford and the multitude of great songs puts him at #1 for this JP fan.
there are heavier sounds out there for sure......but they are metal i think. but along your rationale....one could say that Hank Sr. isn't country either....cause of what country music evolved into since he was around. JP clearly roots of metal imo.
Sorry! "Best Singers"? No way! Maybe most popular singers in the Main stream.
F.eks. I love Danzig, but he could'nt sing at all. In his newer Albums not even modern technic could hide the miss of power in his voice.
The only to I could 100% agreee ist Bruce and Dio. Not even Rob Hallford would I put in this. I have seen a Judas show with Ripper Owens and it was classes better than the gigs I have seen from/with Rob. And FNM in this list... well... become Metal, kid!
@TheOrderlyGuy32 Danzig? Halford? Gillan? DIO!? DICKINSON!!!? arethose HAIR FUCKING METAL??? damn... I agree that they are not all heavy metal, but dont say that they are all heair metal either please, and besides, that hair metal and glam metal shits are new, back then all was heavy metal, even poison and bon jovi, so , that's that.
P.D. i did not mention parton since he's simply not a metal/rock singer, and should not be here.
@sacapalpavo Danzig, no, Halford yes but i stopped watching after that, to be honest i was gonna stop after bach. You want a real list off the top of my head.
Maynard Tool
Chino Deftones
Chad Mudvayne
Tommy Between the Buried and Me
Howie Killswitch Engage
those are 5 Heavy Metal Singers. But, I dont consider soundgarden, pearl jam, alice in chains, stone temple pilots, etc. heavy metal otherwise id have them in my list.
@TheOrderlyGuy32 It's cool, i mean, everyone has an opinion, th only one i agree with you is Maynard, but, just don't say that legends like Dio and the Dickinson are hair metal, and we are cool =D
@ElVlogDeLaOvejaNegra yeah so im not into the thousands of categories you can put bands into, so to me those bands are 90's rock, the bands on this are not metal to me at all, and no i dont consider the only "cool grunge" band to be the misfits, i consider nirvana pearl jam soundgarden stp to be great bands that happened to come out of the same area and time period
@ElVlogDeLaOvejaNegra There is no such thing as "Grunge." Can you please tell me how the hell AiC and Soundgarden aren't metal? Most of their stuff certainly sounds like metal to me.
actually the video doesnt rank them.... - no numbers before the names so u can conclude they all are the very best of the best^^ In case of mentioning bruce at last u might also say he is number one in the video but thats an interpretation, the video itself doesnt tell. To me Bruce IS number one (or rather 666) but thats because im propably the biggest Maiden fan ever and still i say, to me he is. Thats because rating them is useless, they all kick ass. Nothing else matters
@TrueIronMaidenFan ae sim!!!!!!! bruce,geoff,rob,ronnie,ian????sei laá,eric,jorn?????canta bem mais é amador de atitude!!!!!kotipelto????fico com kiske!!!!!!!!sem duvidas, da dó!!!!!danzig??????hummmm não sei não!!!!! klaussssss!!!!até vai o ultimo!!!!
@TrueIronMaidenFan well well! since you were so eager to ASSURE it was spanish, anyone would have thought that you knew what you were talking about...all mighty sir of knowledge that can "speak" with out checking nothing, was CSI inspired by you? sigh... anyway, have a great life, bye.
in heavy metal, guys like dio, snider, dickinson and more are all very good for me... but i think that the best vocalist in heavy metal is Ozzy Osbourne... Ozzy does panic during singing
Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Dee Snider, Blackie Lawless, Sebastian Bach, Jim Gillette, Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Miljenko Matijevic... TOP 10 FOREVER!!!
Good names, i havel little doubts about the arrangement. But i've seen worse with better ranking... Last thing, Maiden is my all time favourite band, but nobody can beat Dio, RIP
FACT : NUMBER 1 ARTIST OF ALL TIME > RONNIE JAMES DIO , NUMBER 2 ARTIST OF ALL TIME > ROB HALFORD, NUMBER 3 ARTIST OF ALL TIME >LEMMY LEARN YOUR METAL HISTORY
it says "The 10 best", nothing about anyone's personal favourites. Blackie Lawless should always be there anyway. Check out The Crimson Idol sings for any back up.
@ajwasp I repeat myself: read the fucking info. "A list of my favorite singers in the genre of heavy metal." - This generally states the video has his 10 favourite singers, understood?
I love Blackie Lawless and agree that he is a really good singer (especially in The Crimson Idol), still this is only this guy's video having his own opinions. You can make your own video if you want to.
@moricoon True that he has sang metal in his career and very well for that matter, but...it's 6 months of metal and 40 years of hard rock. that's why I believe he's a rock god, not a metal god :P
the mighty bruce dickinson is without question the greatest metal voice of all time.actually i would say he's the greatest singer period.the man is purely amazing.mr rob halford is in my opinion the second greatest ever.he is amazing in his own way.these two fine gentlemen are the cream of the metal crop boys and girls.
@fearedlegend I agree both of them are gods, but the greatest ever? Listen to more than just the most well known. I even doubt you have heard all of both Rob and Bruce's entire discography, yet you boldly state that they are the greatest. Rob is in my top five, Bruce my top ten. Hell Dan McCafferty, David Byron, John Lawton, Janis Joplin, Mike Harrison aren't even mentioned yet they influenced just about everyone on this list including the honorable mentions.
@hermygagala i've heard all of bruce and just about all of halford and i stand by my word.i don't care who influenced who.to my ears bruce dickinson has the best overall voice.he has amazing range,power,feel,tone and emotion in his voice and millions upon millions around the world agree.bruce dickinson simply is gifted beyond anyone else including halford himself.some singers can reach higher notes but they lack something in their voice that i can't find words for.he is that great.
@fearedlegend I agree he is amazing definitely one of the best of all time and to you the best of all time, but that is only your opinion. Music is more subjective rather than set in stone per se. If you had heard all music from all the musicians of all time then you could say it with more boldness in your comment. But no one will ever hear everything. Who knows one day you could find someone you like better, I'm not saying you will but it is possible. And I mean that is already existing.
@beastforum1 Really good list. You have more knowledge then some of these slipknot idiots who think thats all there is out there. Sorry your not a metal head though. Your not a AHHH I GREW OUTA THAT kinda poser are ya METAL FOR LIFE ImI(';")ImI PRIEST, MAIDEN, SABBATH, ...Hell MASTODON for fuck sake. How do you just stop liking it
you are talking about heavy metal and there's no name of Corey taylor of slipknot?? Wow!!! You really need to listen to a looooot of real Heavy metal bands
This comment box is one of the worst things i've ever seen, even worse than 9/11. Grow up, you fuckers, and try to understand that this video features this guy's FAVOURITES. If you don't like the list, you can create your own list or fuck off. Dumb fucks.
sooooo. you put sebastian bach... and you don't put Robert Plant!!!!!?????????? what the f uck are you thinkin about??? YOU PUT DANZIG nad dont put Hetfield???? you better seach on the web that Robert Plant is the best Metal Singer of all time and James influenced such a lot of band so remake your video asshole.
@INSANESUICIDESOLDIER Are you seriously this stupid? This is a video of THIS GUY'S FAVOURITE SINGERS, are you wise enough to understand that? People like you are what is wrong with today's world, fucking tool.

@MissRockDevil
actually the video doesnt rank them.... - no numbers before the names so u can conclude they all are the very best of the best^^ In case of mentioning bruce at last u might also say he is number one in the video but thats an interpretation, the video itself doesnt tell. To me Bruce IS number one (or rather 666) but thats because im propably the biggest Maiden fan ever and still i say, to me he is. Thats because rating them is useless, they all kick ass. Nothing else matters

in heavy metal, guys like dio, snider, dickinson and more are all very good for me... but i think that the best vocalist in heavy metal is Ozzy Osbourne... Ozzy does panic during singing

it says "The 10 best", nothing about anyone's personal favourites. Blackie Lawless should always be there anyway. Check out The Crimson Idol sings for any back up.
ajwasp 4 months ago
@ajwasp I repeat myself: read the fucking info. "A list of my favorite singers in the genre of heavy metal." - This generally states the video has his 10 favourite singers, understood?
I love Blackie Lawless and agree that he is a really good singer (especially in The Crimson Idol), still this is only this guy's video having his own opinions. You can make your own video if you want to.

@moricoon True that he has sang metal in his career and very well for that matter, but...it's 6 months of metal and 40 years of hard rock. that's why I believe he's a rock god, not a metal god :P

gmoney66 4 months ago
the mighty bruce dickinson is without question the greatest metal voice of all time.actually i would say he's the greatest singer period.the man is purely amazing.mr rob halford is in my opinion the second greatest ever.he is amazing in his own way.these two fine gentlemen are the cream of the metal crop boys and girls.
fearedlegend 4 months ago
@fearedlegend I agree both of them are gods, but the greatest ever? Listen to more than just the most well known. I even doubt you have heard all of both Rob and Bruce's entire discography, yet you boldly state that they are the greatest. Rob is in my top five, Bruce my top ten. Hell Dan McCafferty, David Byron, John Lawton, Janis Joplin, Mike Harrison aren't even mentioned yet they influenced just about everyone on this list including the honorable mentions.
hermygagala 4 months ago
@hermygagala i've heard all of bruce and just about all of halford and i stand by my word.i don't care who influenced who.to my ears bruce dickinson has the best overall voice.he has amazing range,power,feel,tone and emotion in his voice and millions upon millions around the world agree.bruce dickinson simply is gifted beyond anyone else including halford himself.some singers can reach higher notes but they lack something in their voice that i can't find words for.he is that great.
fearedlegend 4 months ago
@fearedlegend I agree he is amazing definitely one of the best of all time and to you the best of all time, but that is only your opinion. Music is more subjective rather than set in stone per se. If you had heard all music from all the musicians of all time then you could say it with more boldness in your comment. But no one will ever hear everything. Who knows one day you could find someone you like better, I'm not saying you will but it is possible. And I mean that is already existing.
