GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Your Favorite Metal Singer
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 6 2011, 04:24 PM
I have no doubts... this is my favorite!
Who is your favorite Metal singer?
Posted by: Maris Jul 6 2011, 04:44 PM
I like Bruce too, but my favorite is Dio!
R.I.P. Dio

R.I.P. Dio
RIP. He was sure one of the best ones!
Posted by: Marek Rojewski Jul 6 2011, 05:09 PM
My favorite are Hansi Kursh from Blind Guardian, Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Warrel Dane from Nevermore (although I like his solo stuff much more). Of course can't say a bad word about for example Dio, he sure was one of the best, also another Sabbath singer - Tony Martin is superb singer if You ask me. But the first three I listed came to my mind fastest:)
EDIT: I like good old James Hatfield very much also, but for me he is quite different than what I imagine when saying "metal singer". Now after more thinking I can say that also singer from Savatage was/is great, Hall of the Mountain King comes to my mind:)

I like Dio a lot, but Simen Hestnæs is my pick

All awesome singers! +1 to Tony Martin! I love his voice!
I like his very expressive melodic voice!

Bruce Dickinson is my number one favorite singer period, the theatrics and dynamics are unmatched in any genre. But, since he has already been picked, and since Hansi Kursch has already been picked I must name another great.
Mr. Mikael Akerfeldt.

Mr. Mikael Akerfeldt.
Great choice! You made me start listening to "Damnation" album at this moment!

I don`t think I have one particular favorite, but the first ones that come to mind is:
Dio, Jorn (Jørn Lande), Russel Allen (Symphony X), Mikael Åkerfeldt (if death metal is included), Nils Rue (of Pagans Mind), Spencer Soleto (of Periphery).

Dio is my #1. I also like Halford, Dickinson and Eric Adams to name a few others. Klaus Meine, Dee Snider and Freddie Mercury (if he counts) to name a few more.
Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 6 2011, 06:17 PM
How would Freddy Mercury not count! 
Posted by: HungryForHeaven Jul 6 2011, 06:50 PM
Wasn't sure if most people would call his work "metal", but ok.
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 6 2011, 07:06 PM
He has been a big influence for many metal singers but he isn't usually related to metal. However there are some old albums by Queen that are very Metal.
Dee Snider! It's awesome how he keep his voice through the years! I saw new live shows and he has the same voice quality than in the 80's!

The singer for Diamond Head that i don't know his name...
PS: i think his name is Sean Harris
Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 6 2011, 09:29 PM
But he's Freddy Mercury, he is one of the all-knowing exceptions

Can't forget this beast of a singer!

The voice of evil! He is very talented! It's been a while since I heard about him... I don't know if he recorded some new stuff lately.
Posted by: thefireball Jul 6 2011, 10:10 PM
Ryan Clark with Demon Hunter. They are the only metal band I currently listen to. I don't really favor metal as much.
Posted by: Sinisa Cekic Jul 6 2011, 10:18 PM
Not quite metalheads, but He sometimes sounds so
Posted by: SpaseMoonkey Jul 7 2011, 12:09 AM
Mikael Åkerfeldt would be one of mine, next up is either Brendon Small (Nathan Explosion - Dethklok) or George Fisher (Cannibal Corpse)
Posted by: El Fortinero Jul 7 2011, 02:12 AM
The best studio singer!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 7 2011, 04:23 AM
I love Slave to the grind! The power of that album is awesome and Sebastian performance is killer!
Posted by: Qenzoz Jul 7 2011, 04:31 AM
I don't really have a favorite, but these are some I really like
Bon Scott - AC/DC
Randy Blythe - Lamb of God
Rob Halford - Judas Priest
Maynard James Keenan - Tool

Another big Dio fan here.. I don't think there has been a more technically proficient singer in this genre..he really had it all, a true master of metal.
And yet another..from the Rainbow days..
RIP RJD!!
Cheers!
Gary

My favorites are:
Phil Labonte (All that remains)
Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage)
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jul 7 2011, 12:57 PM
I definitely like the old school metal dudes like Dickinson, Halford, Eric Adams and Dio... I think they all had different periods in time where they occupied the best metal singer throne..
I love singers that have awesome screaming ability.. like this dude !
Posted by: Gitarrero Jul 7 2011, 02:15 PM
Oh, there are so many. I really like Bruce Dickinson and Hansi Kürsch, I also think Ozzy was really awesome when he was younger, and I just love what Angela Gossow can do with her voice...
