Dio!!! A little guy with a bigger than life voice. We all miss him.
RIP
Dio was pitch perfect every time!! He inspired so many other singers, including Bruce Dickinson.
Yes Sir! Cheers!
yep. He was a musician first and foremost.
Yes sir!
Ronnie's musicianship was second to none, bar none! Not only could he impress with his voice, but his feel was also out of this world.
The 1980 Sabbath tour I didn't think Dio was great.
It was good but awkward..
RAINBOW On Stage is Dio at his best.
DICKENSON Brave New World tour FLAWLESS!
@@adamfox9245 Dio in Dio was damn good too!!
Am glad for Geoff Tate ;) he deserves more recognition I think 🥳
yes he needs to be on there.
Hes clearly very talented, even if not broadly appealing. Seems a lot of ppl voted for their favs rather than by who has the greater talent.
@@fooo2241 I think Dio and Halford are also extremely talented and not just popular
@@fooo2241
I think he's an amazing talent, but it was "metal" vocalist and Halford edges him out as a metal vocalist IMO. I'd have put him higher in the list though.
@@fooo2241 why, can you measure "talent"? And how do you do that? It's all subjective! Of course there are a lot of "objective" factors which contribute, longetivity, image, etc. And creativity, originality and the music itself are also important. That's why Ozzy had be in the top 10, and that's why for example Halford or Dickinson got a higher rank than Tate. 😉
Anyone who can sing the last part of “Hell patrol” with such range, style, aggression and power like Halford would have my vote
good stuff!
So basically only Halford :)
That's all falsetto and not a natural voice. But he is great, though! 👍
This is fans vote. Halford hit g5 on hell patrol. Ian gillen hit A5 for child in time n tom araya hit A5# for screaming beginning angel of death song.
@@hakimanozz1974 It's not how many damn high notes you hit! But it's all about expressing your emotions to make people feel something and not "impressing" them with high falsetto notes.
I see so many of these lists but I never see Blackie Lawless. I’ve never heard another singer with the rasp that he has. His voice is so distinct and one of a kind. Even on his slower songs, he conveys a lot of emotion, and he still sounds great today. Not to mention, he’s one hell of a frontman. It’d be nice to see him get some more respect.
Yeah Blackie has a great voice. Cheers! 🤘
Ah totally! Tho in that glammy hard rock-ish style of metal (WASP is obviously 100% heavy metal, and isn't one of the bands in that style), there is a bunch of Blackie-like vocalists, Mark from TT Quick (Now in Accept) the Kix guy or Quiet Riot. But without a question Blackie is way more different and unique than them. Also not just that his rough style is mindblowing, but he can sing cleans great too, like he did in Forever Free
You are right 👍Blacky is fantastic in singing & songwriting 🤘
I agree blackie had a superb voice and so distinct. As for sounding good today he is doing karaoke to his own songs.
The first vocalist to sing the way Metal is sung was Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. He inspired those who came after him.
Dio, Bruce Dickinson and Halford will always be the big three of metal. There voices are unmatched imo.
cheerios
Yes. They are also the top 3 quintessential metal vocalist according to kerry king
You are wrong for Bruce "suck" Dickinson...Paul di 'anno is the best!!!!!
Have you ever listened to Savatage? Jon Oliva is great. Totally underrated though.
@@SkyNetGeneral- Are you real? They rock...which songs did you listen to? Probably only ballads. Lol
I am so happy you actually got to make these polls into videos that actually show what the community regards as the best of the best! Obviously Dio and Halford are at the top, their voices are majestic.
yeah, I try to do a mix between community views and my own. :) It might be quite easy to guess the most popular names in this video but whatever. :D
King Diamond has been my all time favorite ever since I discovered his solo work and Mercyful Fate back in 8th grade.
nice, cheers
DIO will always be no 1 for me :) Also love Halford, Bruce, Ian Gillan and David Coverdale!
Cheerios!
Great to see Kiske on here he was and still is phenomenal.
Yes sir!
Agreed!!
Tim "Ripper" Owens should be on this list for the vocals he did with Judas Priest, Yngwie Malmstein, and others.
not sure about that, good falsetto though.
I guess the inclusion of Chuck merits based on the fact he not only plays the guitar while doing mad vocals but also looking into the crowd making contact. 😎a fan.
Chuck was a pioneer, his vocals were just perfect (see "The ultimate Revenge vhs") and so was his guitar playing. As a death metal vocalist, I think only David Vincent of Morbid Angel was on his level (back when he also played bass guitar greatly instead of mimicking and doing silly moves).
@@frankwells7520 exactly..spot on.
yeah, rougher vocals can be underrated but it demands some sort of talent too. haha :)
@@frankwells7520 id say Mikael Akerfeldt is up there as well.
Voted for Dio, and glad he got the number one vote. I was surprised that Ozzy wasn't in the top 4 and that James Hetfield wasn't on the top 10. But thanks for letting us vote and making a video about it!
Cheers! 🤘
Ozzy is a great frontman but no great vocalist in fact all of sabbath vocals were more competent vocally than him
hetfield really? lmao
Hetfield and Ozzy are not legit singers.
@@gianthills well Ozzy in his prime was still a pretty capable vocalist. Even though he's in his 70's, his voice is still instantly recognizable - very similar timbre, but smaller range.

Stay Heavy, Cheers!
Dio, the best ever
cheers
The angel of Metal himself🤍🖤 Michael Kiske deserves to be here and forever it will stay like that!
Cheerios
You are correct!
Yes, his voice is still Amazing 🙌💯
I’m surprised Udo never makes these singer lists. That dude has unbelievable range and power, so musical despite his raspy thing he’s known for. Maybe a good list would be vocalists with the most identifiable or unique vocal approach?
he has such a weird voice. :) Cheerios!
Couldn’t agree more!! Where’s Udo!!
I was just thinking about it 😉. I voted for Halford, but Udo is a great and special singer! Maybe it's due to the method: only one vote per person, and I think for a lot of ppl Udo is not number 1, even though he's so close to the top 👍
Indeed, Wolf Hoffman usually does not make top guitarist lists which is a damn shame.
I saw Udo live on the Power Slave tour, Accept sounded like the record. Accept only had a wrecking ball onstage. Maiden had a huge production, yet Accept still shined thru with no gimmick but Udo riding the wrecking ball. Great time great memory of that show.
I voted for Eric Adams, and I'm glad he made the list, but I have no problem with Dio getting the #1 slot!
Cheers!
Love the results of this poll. I am not surprised with the rankings. 🤘
yeah, it is kinda what one could expect. Cheers! 🤘
Interesting list, here's my personal top 5:
1.) Geoff Tate
2.) Bruce Dickinson
3.) James LaBrie
4.) Tarja Turunen
5.) Angela Gossow (previous singer of Arch Enemy)
Nice, Cheerios!
Very cool to see the results of the votes. STAY HEAVY, man!
Yes, bassist, guitarist, drummer and keyboardists are coming up in the upcoming weeks & months.
@@RuthlessMetalYT Looking forward to those. Stay heavy!🤘
Dio, Halford and Dickinson. The rest is completely arbitrary and up to the individuals taste.
I disagree
Tate is better than all three.
I wouldn't have voted for any of those three. I don't like opera either. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Cheerios!
@@Frank_nwobhm None could sing like them.
Singing like a dying horse is easier compared to actually sounding nice.
Great list. Can't argue with the top three for sure. Well done.
Cheers!
Daniel Heiman, Warrel Dane, Midnight, John Arch, Yannis Papadopoulos, Tim Owens, La Torre definitely deserve to be here amongst the best because of their skills and legacy they left (some of them) but I know such rankings are more about popularity, prestige and influence rather than skills... Only this explains the presence of e.g. Ozzy, Anselmo, King Diamond here whom I respect.
Warrel Dane! Yes. That dude was phenomenal
yeah, it's a bit of a popularity contest, the most known always wins. Cheers!
@@RuthlessMetalYT I'm subscribing you but i didnt notice any survey nor voting haha. Otherwise I would vote
Yeah, shocked but not shocked about no Midnight. His vocals on the first two Crimson Glory albums are some of the best ever.
@Ruthless Metal definitely some popularity. Tom beat out Chuck Billy who is probably the best thrash vocalist in my estimation and Tom beat out hansi. Tim aymar, most singers from firewind, Roy khan are all tremendous vocalists. Was happy Chuck made it in the top 10 to rep death metal
That high-pitched wail at the very end of Flight Of Icarus!!!
cheers
Would have liked to see Ian Gillan in the top 10.
I also wouldn't have put Ozzy, that high on the list.
But that's what people voted for.
yes Sir. Cheerios!
I agree, Gillan pretty much started it all
Damn missed the alert but if ya ask me Mr Ron Broder and Bobby Blitz should have been on the list! But awesome video and as always keep it up🤘
yeah, I put up the vote here in the community section. :) Cheers!
tony martin , warrel dane , messiah marcolin , john bush, tony harnell , kory clarke ,ray gillen some worthy mentions
tony martin number 1
I didn't vote, but here are my chads:
1. Ronnie James Dio
2. Rob Halford
3. Bruce Dickinson
4. Geoff Tate
5. Midnight
6. Ian Gillan
7. Klaus Meine
8. John Oliva
9. Glenn Danzig
10. King Diamond
some real chads!
Love the respect that you put on King Diamond, definitely a less popular pick for top-4 position. But the clip choice definitely could have been better. Maybe something from the released a few years ago DVDs?
I didn't put respect on anyone, this was a vote. :) Cheers! 🤘
The urge to skip up to the end of the video was very hard to resist. 😆 If you've got to come in second and third place to someone it might as well be a fellow legend like DIo. I'm very glad I got to see them all back in the day. 🤘 Thanks for doing this!
yeah, seeing dio is certainly one of the highlights in my life as a metal fan.
I don't know in what order I would put them, but this list got the top three right and all of my top five (Ozzy and Geoff Tate, too.) Hopefully, you'll do another list with the ladies.
Ladies were included here but none earned more than a few votes. Cheers!
Great clips for the winners. Runners up John Arc and Midnight(Crimson Glory)
Cheers! 🤘
Awesome picks!!! 😃👍
Cheers!
Great list, man.
Cheers!
I guessed the top 3. But I had Halford at #1
Half expected Hetfield to be in there somewhere. Not for the vocal range but… iconic voice.
yeah, he barely missed the top 10.
My personal favorite is Andi Deris, wish he was talked about more tbh, such an incredible vocalist
Cheers!
I think both Deris and Kiske are great, and together they sound even better
Same here!
Halloween is probably the only band that's had 3 different singers and each added their own style to put out bad ass albums.
Very impressive list with 2 surprises !!
Moanowar and Helloween.
I would of picked singer of Racer X.
It is a great clip of Take Hold...
I never get tired of that song and the live clip is a bonus !
Cheers mate ! Thank you.
Yeah, the take hold of the flame clip might be the best vocal performance ever by a human. Cheers!
Midnight from Crimson Glory! what a great voice he had (RIP)
Yes Sir!
Nice to see King Diamond getting some love. Chuck Schindler sounds like Froggy from the Little Rascals in my opinion, whatever floats your boat I guess :D
How he makes a list like this is ridiculous. Same when he makes top guitarist lists.
@@Powermad-bu4em Dead people usually get overrated.
@@deansmith6593
Absolutely. I've listened to Death since Scream Bloody Gore came out and I get the level of influence Chuck had in death metal, but he was in no way the best vocalist or musician even in the genre. The guys he surrounded himself with were fucking beasts though.
Chuck is trash, dude sucked.
@@Powermad-bu4em Not many Death Metal guitarists better than Schuldiner!
Menciones honorables: John Arch, Graham Bonnet, Harry " Tyrant" Conklin...Un saludo.
Solid names Sir
Lemmy Kilmister
Hi...have you ranked the UDO albums yet?.....would love to see that!!!
nope, I haven't heard that many of 'em.
@@RuthlessMetalYT ..
.you NEED to check out his solo stuff.....he has a lot of solo material out and it KICKS ASS!!!!!
This was great!
Cheers! 🤘
Btw just to paraphrase the list..these vocalists are on the list not just solely based on great vocals but the influence they have on the metal community. Too many good ones left out no doubt.😎
Cheers! 🤘
Good list- Dio is where he should be. I bet Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson were close!!
not that close, I think Dio won with 100 votes.
Intressant lista, mycket intressant
skål!
Great list, interesting to see that all the top vocalists are from the 'classic' metal bands and none of the new ones got a mention.
yeah, the most known names always wins.
I'm a bit surprised that Hansi Kürsch didn't make it into the list, but the top 3 were more or less clear.
Cheers!
Had to scroll a while to see if he was even mentioned in the comments. He's easily top 5.
An extremely underrated hard rock vocalist is Phil Freeman from the band Small Town Titans, his voice is absolutely phenomenal.
Cheerios!
Love Queensryche!
this is excellent
Cheerios!
Children of the Sea still makes me feel things, man, and after about 16 years of listening to metal and its different subgenres, Dio always makes me emotional, a mix of love for his work when I was a kid, the insane voice he had or knowing I will never hear a new release from him. Also he seemed like such a wholesome dude with all those fantasy lyrics.
yes, those first two albums he did with sabbath was magical.
missing was Jon Oliva of Savatage and John Bush of Armored Saint
Yes, lot's of good ones. Biff Byford and David Wayne as well.
yes!
Chuck Schuldiner are you kitting me?😂😂
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not a great vocalist, but a pioneer for what would become arguably the biggest sub-genre in metal history (Death metal and all its sub-sub-genres)
Cheerios!
Here is my top 12
1. Kenn Nardi (Anacrusis)
2. Bobby Liebling (Pentagram)
3. Jeff Becerra (Possessed)
4. Doro Pesch
5. Ian Gillan
6. Sabina Classen (Holy Moses)
7. David Wayne (Metal Church)
8. Ray Alden (Fates Warning)
9. Eric Bloom (Blue Oyster Cult)
10. David Lee Roth
11. Ted Nugent
12. Udo Dirkschneider
Cool list! Cheers!
I can agree to that, except that I would switch places for Eric Adams and King Diamond. Also, great to see Kiske, he is really underrated!
cheerios!
Came here to see Ronnie win lol.
ez win! Cheers! 🤘
I would have loved to see Glenn Danzig, Michael Sweet, Blackie Lawless and Don Dokken on here, and Geoff should be damn near the top of this list, but that's democracy I guess.
yeah. lots of cool singer and the top 3 names got almost all of the votes. :) Cheers!
Yeah, Danzig would have been great to see on the list for sure. I saw Don Dokken at the fair a few years back and man, that guy's voice is shot. It was pretty sad.
yup, Geoff is tops.
Lol Danzig? No thanks man!
@@smokerise "The guy who's been in 3 successful bands for which he wrote all the songs, who's often compared to Elvis Pressley, and has worked with Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash? No thanks! I'm Smoke Rise and my opinion is garbage!"
Great list but In mine I would include: Russell Allen (Symphony X), Mikael Aekerfeldt from Opeth ( Clean and gutural vocals are amazing!) and James Hetfield (Metallica). Great video as always,
Cheers!
🤘 great list!
Keep up the good work 🤘
thx, cheers
Geoff Tate is freaking incredible. I love Queensryche so freaking much!
Cheers!
Of course Dio #1. And thanks for put Tate in the list.
Cheers!
Dio no #1 no brainer..he is in Rainbow..Sabbath..Dio..no other can boast a resume like the Man On the Silver Mountain.
Cheers! 🤘
Dio is one of my Rock Gods!!!
Great to see Michael Kiske here, giving Power Metal exposure. Also great Eric Adams is included. Of course Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford and Ronnie James Dio are here at the top.
What more I can include those not in the honorable mentions: Timo Kotipelto, Yannis Papadopoulos, Daniel Heiman, Kai Hansen, Fabio Lione, Matthew Barlow, Stu Block, Joacim Cans, Thomas Winkler, Tobias Sammet, Joakim Broden, Tarja Turunen, Floor Jansen, Attila Dorn, Udo Dirkschneider, George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, Burton C Bell.
Cheers!
I would’ve included Mike Patton and Chino Moreno, but I guess this was a more classic list, valid list tho
Mike Patton is a beast and so versatile
@@jaytracks the man of the 1000 voices, the guy is a crazy genius
Cheerios!
@@RuthlessMetalYT cheers!!
Another awesome list!! For sure DIO is #1....his voice is so powerful and there is no mistaking it....even in his old stuff Ronnie and the Prophets...and of course Halford and Dickinson....was there ever a doubt!
Cheers!
Accept and Udo!!!
Cheerios!
Great!🤟🏻🙏
Cheerios!
I don´t debate the list, just like to mention the following: Klaus Meine, Mike Howe, Floor Jansen, Tatiana Shmailyuk, Ghaal, Corpsegrinder, Mikael Akerfeldt, Maynard James Keenan. Dammit, I wouldn´t want to pick a top 10. Good that I don´t have to choose 🙂
Edit cause I just saw the honorable mentions. Shame on me I forgot about Peter Steele and Hansi Kürsch.
Cheers! 🤘
So glad to see Ronnie James Dio at #1. That's why I came here for... good work, RM. I do not agree with the list in total, but appreciate your work.
yeah it's not my personal list, it would have looked different. Cheers!
@@RuthlessMetalYT please do yr personel list..would love to see the surprises you slot in.😉
I love your videos and hope you see this because I have an album recommendation for you to listen to, the band void (a new thrash band) released their first album called horrors of reality and I really suggest you listen to it, it is on Apple Music and Spotify , anyway I hope you see this because it’s a absolutely killer album and it’s probably one of the best albums I’ve heard in a bit.
I added it to some of my spotify playlists. Cheers!
Is this a popularity contest...I guess it is, otherwise Klaus Meine would have to be here (in his prime he'd have to be considered near the top). It's Greatest metal vocalists, right? Peter Steele has to be included too. Geoff Tate should probably be #1, but he didn't have the longevity as compared to some of the others. Others that weren't included could probably take over some of the top spots...Ian Gillan, Devin Townsend, Maynard James Keenan. Is Mike Patton a metal singer? (probably considered alternative/rock, hard rock?)
I suppose you could make another list for the screamer, growler singers too! There are too many styles to consider to make a general top ten list. If this is the great singers...then it definitely misses the mark.
Yes, that's the problem with voting. That's why we have a f*ed up world. haha
I know he's depreciated in vocal quality in his later years with age, but James LaBrie of Dream Theater should at least have a mention because his in the 90s to mid 2000s was unmatched!
Images and Words have some of the craziest high notes. His sustain and vibrato were also top-tier. Such a shame that he's not as good as he used to be
Unmatched??? YOU'RE SO WRONG DUDE!!! Don't get me wrong James Labrie is awesome but he's no Geoff Tate or Dio or Bruce Dickinson!!!
@@torybrown7730 James in Learning To Live, Another Day, and Take The Time was unreal! I'll stand by that till the day I die!
cheers!
@@TheBlackQueen Putting James in ANY time period over Bruce, Dio, Halford, and Tate is pure heresy.
Dio, Halford, and Dickinson are the logical choices for top three, in any particular order. Just dynamic range, precision, and clarity in each of their vocal styles. I do wish Tim "The Ripper" Owen had made the list, too. But ai guess he was overshadowed by his predecessor/successor, the Metal God himself.
Great list overall. Your viewers have good taste!
Yeah, I would change at least half of the list but it is what it is. hehe Cheerios!
1. Ronnie James Dio
2. Russ Anderson
3. Rob Halford
4. Tony Martin
5. Bruce Dickinson
6. Geoff Tate
7. John Bush
8. Eric AK
9. Maynard James Keenan
10. Milo (Deathrow)
solid list! Cheerios!
I think it's a nice list! The top 3 is pretty obvious - to be honest the vote wouldn't have any credibility if not they are on the top 😉. I'm pleasantly surprised by the high rank of Chuck and especially Lemmy, who were damn good and special in what they did 👍. I was also pleasantly surprised by the high rank of Kiske, since I think the German musicians are often underappreciated in the Anglo-Saxon world. As the matter of fact, other German singers, like Udo, Kai, Mille or Ralf are the ones who I think are missing - but this list is a subjective public opinion, so you can't really argue with it. 🙂
yeah, definitely, cheerios!
Glad to see Kiske on this list. He is my favorite. To hear some of his best stuff, just check out A Tale That Wasn't Right and Your Turn, especially the bit after the solo. Out of this world. This is a great list, also considering that some of them are not that famous compared to others. Dio is the Freddie Mercury of heavy metal so he definitely deserves the no 1 spot.
Cheers!
I voted Rob but you can’t argue with that top5
Cheerios!
Not surprised at all by the top 3. Really happy that Michael Kiske made the list.
1. Ian Gillan
2. Ronnie James Dio
3. Jon Arch
4. Warrel Dane
5. Geddy Lee
6. Graham Bonnet
7. Joey Tempest
8. Michael Kiske
9. Eric Adams
10. Goran Edmond
Cool lis. Cheerios! I guess number 10 is Göran Edman. ;)
Midnight 23th...bummer
Too many people don't know Crimson Glory
yeah, excellent singing but the band is too obscure for fans in genera.
Without a doubt, Ronnie James Dio! Dio is not only the best metal singer, but also the best vocalist that I've ever heard, Bar none! Thee only vocalist that can transpose effortlessly from an angelic whisper into a lion's roar all in one phase is the little Giant RJD and none other.....!
RIP Little Giant.
Cheers! 🤘
@@RuthlessMetalYT 🎸🤘👍
Indeed, i couldnt have said it better myself ! 🤘🤘. Dio was a very expressive and versatile singer.
@@Stefan- Thanks. I love metal, but I also listen to just about every other form of music out there; from Salsa to Opera. And I've yet to hear another vocalist with Dio's versatility and fluidity! But... That's just my humble opinion.
The only one that can reach that level is Dino Jelusick
Michael Kiske should be higher on the list, he is fantastic.
great vocalist for sure.
The list needs to be 20. Blackie Lawless, Bobby Blitz, Paramore McCarty from Warrior, Mark Oseguera, Rob Reinhardt, Eric Knutson, and a few more should in the running. There are so many different voices to choose from.
Cheers!
Very good list, my top 5 will be very similar, i only put Kiske instead of Adams and Michael Sweet would definitely be in my top 10. Adams, Ozzy and Anselmo won't be on my top 10 though...
yeah I would have thrown out half of em probably. hehe Cheers!
I'm surprised Tate wasn't a top 3. He is currently still in peak vocal condition unlike others that drop off as age takes place. Also, no Warrel Dane fans? He definitely needed to get on this list. Glad Chuck made it.
People arent as familiar with Queensryche as they are with Maiden and Priest, so that's always the problem with a vote like this. Cheerios!
Warrel Dane is top notch during his Sanctuary days no doubt..maybe a second list needs to be made for all other vocalists not in top dollar bands.😎
Geoff Tate can't sing anymore, come on now.
@Troy Lad yes he can not sing like he did in 1984, he did take a dip for a few years and as they have all aged. But I have seen some videos of him over the last year and had improved a lot and even still can sing better now than half the singers above him on the list on their best days.
@@kellybarthel8060 I had seen him do mindcrime a few years ago and he absolutely nailed it. Seeing him next week do rage and empire too. Can't wait
1. Geoff Tate
2. Rob Halford
3. Dio
Cheerios!
Spot on Alex
Good compilation, but there's a little bit fan voting in, I think. Dio, Halford, they're awsome, for sure 🤘 In my opinion they should be followed by (in alphabetical order) King Diamond, Bruce Dickinson, Michael Kiske. I would like to see Geoff Tate next. But that's my list, not more not less.
Yes he should be higher
I always try to remember, don't talk to strangers. Always good to see these artists perform. Lung power.
Cheers!
Another honorable mention, if I may. Lizzy Borden.
Cheers!
One of my personal favourites too! Also old skool Don Dokken, and Ron Keel.
Dio sang with every ounce of his soul, to the last breath. The father of power metal vocals. I’d also give a shout-out to the great Jeff Scott Soto. His work with Yngwie, Journey, the rockstar film, and Sons of Apollo- amazing vocalist…
Cheers!
My List (no order) :
Ian Gillan
Rob Halford
Dio
Glenn Hughes
Geoff Tate
John Lynn Turner
David Coverdale
Graham Bonnett
Geddy Lee
Warrel Dane
solid list. Cheers! 🤘
A good list a couple of suprises. My personal
1) Dio
2) Blackie Lawless
3) Bruce Dickinson
4) Rob Halford
5) Geoff Tate
6) Phil Anselmo
7) Chuck Billy
8) Ozzy
9) Joey Belladonna
10) Bon Scott
Cheerios!
I hadn’t listened to Queensryche yet and Geoff Tate’s voice reminded me so much of David Wayne’s (early Metal Church) which I love, so beautiful. Also shoutout putting Chuck on this list because anyone that doesn’t listen to any kind of metal would probably not consider him a “great vocalist” 😂 but for his genre, he really was one of the best. Another wicked video Ruthless! 🤘
yeah, Chuck is one of the best voices in extreme metal for sure. Geoff Tate is a legend, maybe even the greatest vocalist of all time at least technically.
Thumbs up for David Wayne mention: one of the most underrated metal vocalists despite his incredible range. R.I.P.
@@llongone2 hard agree!!
Yeah David Wayne was excellent. Maybe even on a top 10 of all time.
a cool fact is David Wayne and Geoff Tate had the same voice teacher
King Diamond is the only vocalist whose voice has improved over the years🤘👑🤘
HAIL TO THE KING 🤘👑🤘
yeah true legend! Cheers! 🤘
Right on
Cuál es el último tema que suena al final del vídeo 🎸🎶🤔
Cheers!
No Oderus Urungus?! 😭
J/k...great list!
hehe Cheerios!
Great list! I’m surprised Ripper Owens didn’t at least get honorable mention though.
not sure if he got any votes at all, maybe 1-2. Cheerios!
Warrel Dane, Geoff Tate, and King Diamond are always tied for #1 in my book. One will have an edge over the other two when I am listening to that particular singer. Dane is the greatest singer in history that nobody really knows, or has heard of, in my opinion.
Warrel Dane is quite popular, seen several comments about him but not top 10. :)
\m/ Sanctuary & Nevermore \m/ R.I.P.
Pretty nice list coming from people who vote more from their heart and nostalgic memories than anything else.
I would not include Ozzy or Phil, but that's me.
I would replace them with Messiah Marcolin and Jorn Lande. And as an extra bonus Nils K Rue.
Nice, get Messiah in there! Cheers!
My Alternate List
1. Ronnie James Dio
2. Rob Halford
3. Brian Ross
4. Doro Pesch
5. Red Shark ( Ostrogoth)
6. Steve Grimmet
7. Dan Mc Cafferty
8. Robin Zander
9. Bruce Bruce ( Samson)
10. Steve Duran ( WASP, Circus Circus, London, Sister, New York Dolls )
Cheerios!
People laugh - or think I’m kidding - when I say Brian Johnson’s my favorite❤
Cheers!
Hahahahaha!😊
👁️ consider him hard rock, but yes, that man can sing his ass off. Axl 🌹 now knows that.
