Greatest heavy metal vocalist

My faveourite metal vocalist...hmmmmmmm......
prolly would be chad gray of mudvayne or jon davis for korn

 

I think Tony Martin from Black Sabbath has the greatest metal voice. He's one of the most underrated one too, not many people have heard of him. If not him probably Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden.

 

Geoff Tate from Queensryche

 

Hahaha... really?
Hmm...

Clean:
Matthew Barlow (ex-Iced Earth)
Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride)
Vratyas Vakyas (Falkenbach)

Harsh:
Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone)
the guy from Blodsrit
Maniac (Ex-Mayhem)

 

Kristoffer Gobel[size=-1] - Ex-Falconer[/size]
Ihsahn - Emperor
Mikael Akerfeldt - Opeth

 

The guy from Opeth or Dio.

 

Hmm, this is another tough one.

Top 5 in no order other than this one

James Hetfield in his heyday
Dave Mustaine
Phil Anselmo
Matt Barlow
Ozzy!

 

No one's mentioned Glenn Danzig. He was in The Misfits, then Samhain for a year or so, then Danzig. He's like a Satanic Jim Morrison.
His voice is simple, but harsh. I think he's the greatest metal vocalist ever.
Of course, there's Bruce Dickinson. Ozzy is amazing too.
Ronny James Dio, too.

 

I forgot about danzig

Wicked vocalist imo as well.

 

There are four favourites of mine, in order:-

Dez Fafara of Devildriver (an alltime vocal genius)
Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory
Randy Blythe of Lamb of God
Cliff Rigano of Dry Kill Logic

 

Not to mention: Maynard James Keenan, that one guy form that one band and the other guy from that other band.

Anybody that has more than one band going on at the same time has to be doing something right.

 

I like Hansi from Blind Guardian.

 

Phill Anselmos as the greatest.

strictly singing vocals Bruce Dickinson

strictly screaming Michael Williams from the Agony Scene purely amazing at screaming. If you haven't listened to them, please check these guys out!

 

Well, I dont know if you can consider him a "heavy metal vocalist" . Maybe more classic rock than anything else, but I will say Ronnie James Dio. His work with Rainbow, then Black Sabbath, and then solo was and is the best for a so called heavy metal vocalist.

 

RJD, the innovator of the \m/ is more metal than metal, don't mistake that.

 

Dude, how could I leave out Ronnie James Dio. He totally rocks it on Holy Diver and Hollywood Black
