  • That's not David Lee Roth....It's C3PO!

  • a list i can almost agree with. almost. Where is Biff Bufford?

  • That picture of David Lee Roth... hahaha

  • hahaha....they are driving Rob Halford and Bruce Dikinsons limo's.....blahahahaha!!!

  • Where is Eric Adams from Manowar and Mathias Bald from Falconer?

  • as for me, Rob, Ronnie and, of course, Bruce are the best here

  • @SpaceAsshole1 Agreed. Halford, Dio and Bruce are my favorite singers.

  • I`m sorry, but 0:28 to 0:49 sound more like rap :/

  • excuse me, but Dio must be in number .1

  • ROB HALFORD,DAN MCCAFFERTY,BLACKIE LAWLESS,BON SCOTT,DIO,BRUCE DIKINSON.

  • 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
  • Bruce,Dio,Ian Gillan,Rob,King Diamond>>>>>>>>>>all

  • WHERES TOM ARAYA????? slayers heavy metal too, just with faster riffs and more agressive lyrics

  • @7blueblood x Slayer is more like speed-up thrash metal. And tom isn`t a talented singer, all he does is just yell the lyrics, that takes zero talent

  • 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.

  • 10-bon scott.

    9-james hetfield

    8-phil anselmo.

    7-ian scott.

  • @THEFLYINGREDNECK good list but there its such a shame that Nu-queensryche taints jeff's legacy imo.

  • heavy ???? que bosta

  • Dickinson

    

  • all bow to the metal god.....Rob Halford

  • Halford and Tate...by far the best voices with extreme range!!

  • Dickinson !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ArshikaTowers Anthrax isnt heavy enough for you? Well your one of those emo kids that listens to screamo then

  • @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.

  • @ellipsis117 I agree.

  • @GoodGuitarSolos at least your not a complete retard like some of these kids here that think anthrax and maiden aren't metal.

  • @ellipsis117 Has somebody said so here? Oh my fucking god...

  • @ellipsis117 The amount of retards in this video is staggering. People who say that Iron Maiden aren't metal are probably the biggest idiots ever.

  • 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?

  • @sroinujacob Obviously you haven't heard Mike Patton's singing, you simpleton.

    Also, George Michael is a fantastic singer, even if not a metal artist. Get real.

  • DANZIG!

  • you call it metal but there's no phillip anselmo in your list......chould be in it thou?

  • 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

  • @salmcd22 Yeah man , that's why you put Halford above R.J.Dio .

    That proves that you know a lot about musicianship .

    Ever heard of F. Mercury , Steve Perry , Brad Sinsel , David

    Coverdale and other singers , who can sing the same on stage

    like they did in the studio .

  • @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

  • Where is David Coverdale, Ozzy, Corey Taylor ?

    Why Mike Patton is on this list ?

  • 1. Glenn

    2. Bruce

    3. Rob

    4. King Diamond

    (My top 4)

  • Where the fuck is Phil Anselmo?

  • @tehsammichman

    We are talking about singers , not people that make a noise !

  • youre kidding me dee snider real;y!!!!!

  • Eric Adams is indeed one missing in the top of the list! NO DOUBT!

  • van halen hot for teacher begining?

  • rob halford.......an ats it!!

  • No Ozzy? No Hetfield? Strange.

  • James Hetfield one of best heavy metal vocalists? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH LOL you made my day

  • @Diablo5554 Even funnier considering that Mustaine is better than Hetfield as a Vocalist (his voice is worse but he uses it better).

  • 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 don't think mike patton can sing... No offense to anyone. Which most singers in metal can sing XD. He just kinda angrily talks

  • i recently saw priest on their epitaph tour. Halford still fucking destroys

  • HALFORD IS THE KING!!!!

  • M. SHADOWS!!

  • ALICE COOPER??

  • QUEENSRYCHE BRO

  • @chrisslipknt444 GEOFF TATE RULES! THANK YOU!

  • dee snider lol hahaha,geoff tate of queensryche is *1...

  • shouldn't ozzy osbourne be added on that list? he's a brillitan singer in the heavy metal genre

  • if Deep Purple is heavy metal then Justin Beiber has talent.....

  • Sebastian Bach, Joey Belladona and Bruce Dickinson are the bests in your list :)

  • since when is danzig a metal vocalist?

  • @shellfreak1234 since when is danzig a vocalist?

  • The best hard rock, heavy metal singers are :

    (David Coverdale-White Snake), (Clause Maine - Scorpions), (AC/DC-Brian Johnson), (Udo, Dirkschneider - Accept)

  • What a joke. David Lee is not by all means "METAL" .

  • 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.

  • What about Ozzy? James Hetfield?

  • Where are Cooper, Kiske or Doro ?

  • ahahaahhha yoou put Iced Earth picture as JUdas Priest wtf man???

  • @horrorbone That IS Judas Priest.

  • this all depends on personal taste in music, but it was a respectable lineup

  • NONE! of these are heavy metal.

  • 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.

  • Bruce Dick-In-Son doesn't it sound a little pedophile?

  • Dio, Dickinson, Gillan and Halford... the rest ist rest.

  • @Aushoelle Jon Oliva??? great singer

  • @Aushoelle

    Mercury?

  • @Aushoelle Nice try, shame most of the names here rock.

  • OZZy For Life

  • ozzy sounds better live then most of them -.-

  • ozzy!

  • 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!

  • you realize none of this is heavy metal right? it's hair metal, it was a horrible time for music and im sad i wasted my time with this nonsense

  • @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.

    We're just far different opinions

  • @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

  • @TheOrderlyGuy32 It's not only that you don't consider them, they aren't metal at all

    Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in chains and stone temple pilots=grunge

    If you consider yourself to be metal then you should know that the only cool grunge band for me is Misfits

  • @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.

  • @WrestlingBC12

    I detect an uneducated faggot.

  • wtf mike parton???

  • Mike Patton with rap shit?

  • ROB HALFORD ALL THE TIME !!!

    BRUCE CAN SUCK MY DICK !!!

    PRIEST PRIEST PRIEST !!!!!!!!

  • Bruce deserves to be 1st

    1.Bruce

    2.Rob Halford

    3.Dio

    4.Tobias Sammeth (from Edguy) - hes really amazing biatches

    5.Ian Gillan

    THIS IS MY LIST FUCKERS IF YOU DON´T LIKE IT I DON´T GIVE A SACK FULL OF YELLOW SHIT

  • Faith no more ... Heavy Metal? please...

  • No Shit! fnm dead so no more hello!

  • worst list ever

  • Can't stand Dickinson any more...he's not better than Dio !

  • @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

  • #1.Bruce Dickinson #2.Geoff Tate #3.Rob Halford #4.Ronnie James Dio #5.Ian Gillan #6.Eric Adams #7.Timo Kotipelto #8.Jorn Lande #9.Glenn Danzig #10.Klaus Meine #10.
  • @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!!!!

  • @TheBritodrums does it look like i speak spanish>

  • @TrueIronMaidenFan apparently you can't READ portuguese either you little piece of shit.

    hahaha, man, even in the dumbfucks world are levels, and you are most definitely on the top of it!

    I'm embarrassed that you are a TRUE IRON MAIDEN FAN!

    that coming from a REALLY true Maiden fan, anyway, god bless you =)

  • @sacapalpavo i hanvent taken 1 portuguese or spanish lesson, why the fuck should i be able to distinkt the 2? especialy sence their similer languages

  • @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.

  • @sacapalpavo omg ok man, I actuely love reading comments by low lives like you, it makes me smile

  • what about the anthrax pic... belladonna IS in the pic.... nice list further!

  • 0:30 yya soo MetaL . . .rock on

    NOT

  • 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

  • Dio, halford, dickinson... Great voices

  • actually Deep Purple is Hard Rock, Dude :D

  • jajajajaj que asco de top

  • mike patton sucks

  • Where is David Coverdale?

  • Ronnie James Dio, what a voice! Great selections there! I wanna make this a top 11 and add Quiet Riot legend, Kevin DuBrow. RIP Kev.

  • shit. metal singers just scream.

  • How did King Diamond not make the list? Or Johann Hegg fpr that matter?

  • The greatest of all = Khan!!!

  • Not even close! 2nd rate at best!

  • Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Dee Snider, Blackie Lawless, Sebastian Bach, Jim Gillette, Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Miljenko Matijevic... TOP 10 FOREVER!!!

  • mike my fav song 'what is it' its it :D

  • Dickinson comes way before Dio

    Dio's like number 2 or so

  • Are you sick you gay.

    Rob Halford smash Udo Dirkschneider back to stoneage.

  • 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

  • Excellent list dude

  • Damn good choices ! Cheers Dewd !

  • werz ozzy

  • @piemant1 11 th place

  • By the way dude, belladona is in the pic thought he wasn't.

  • i am so sorry, my pc must be screwed up, but i just don't see any info box anywhere here....glad you are a BL fan though.

  • 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.

  • and where the hell is Blackie Lawless???? he can out any one of these greats and more....

  • @ajwasp "A list of my favorite singers in the genre of heavy metal."

    Do you have a dyslexia or can't you read that sentence in the info box? Idiot.

  • Dude, nobody steals Dio he Ranking, not even Dickinson

  • Where's Lemmy Kilmister?

  • dio 1.

  • Belladonna was in this pic you fool ...

  • Oh Gillian and Belladonna are great though, forgot...

  • Right on the top 2, but that's about it, Bach and Halford shoud be up there just behind them, the rest don't even come close.............

  • Half those folks are not heavy metal.

    e.g. Ian Gillan = GOD, but Ian Gillan = hard rock!

  • @DioK1994 think about Born Again with black sabbath i think there is a small place for metal in his heart =D

  • @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

  • @DioK1994 Heavy metal is rock anyway, who cares? All these singers are great, one way or another.

  • Made it to 30 seconds. Not metal. God have mercy on your soul.

  • RIP DIO

  • um corey taylor ???? ummmm wendsday 13????

  • Bruse dickingson Is Beast in the word!!!

  • Bon Scott is not metal in any of his songs. Brian Johnson is arguable, and james hetfield is overrated.

  • Geoff Tate as an Honorable Mention? He has a bigger vocal range than anyone else on this list!

  • 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.

  • well at least you putt in Halford your not all stupid. HES ONLY THE METAL GOD

  • @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

  • WHERE IR ROBERT PLANT, DAVE MUSTAINE AND OZZZZYYY OSBBOUUURNEEE ??

  • 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.

  • @GoodGuitarSolos Finally, sb with logic

  • 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.

  • @INSANESUICIDESOLDIER By the way, grow up. Fucking 9-year old "true metal fans".

  • @GoodGuitarSolos you don't know anything about metal history as i see, and you better don't mess in other people problems kid.
