Not to go off topic, but this video really shows how Bruce is merely a shadow of the singer he used to be. Listen how he struggles with the high notes.
Anthrax perform on MuchMusic

If you listen to Live After Death, it's easy to see he's nowhere near as great really singing as opposed to in the studio. This is why his vocals were so raspy on No Prayer For The Dying, that album was recorded live with no touch ups. I love Maiden's music, but I have never been a fan of Bruce.

Yes, because forum posts on some backwater website is clearly indicative of a bands success.
No, I think concert attendance and record sales is a better indication and, on that, Anthrax with Joey is clearly more popular than Anthrax without Joey.
Forum posts an indication of band popularity......rofl.....lmao.
That is the most asinine assertion I have yet to see on this board. Thanks for the laughs.

He is mid 50's what do you expect. For his age he is amazing. And even 'struggling' to his a few notes here and there he is still better than most other 19 year old metal singers. "A Shadow of the singer he used to be" is ridiculous. He still has it. That is just one live video. He may not have the exact voice he did 30 years ago but it is still pretty close. Go see them live and come back on here and say that.
Is that Phil Anselmo in that video? Vocals sound better, still a garbage rock n roll song
I agree and that isn't no random live video, thats a professional live recording where its mixed to get the best sound posssible.
I'm not a big Iron Maiden fan, But i do think Bruce is in a different league than joey. If memory recalls me Bruce was like opera trained or some shit, but still don't think he would be caught dead singing journey.

Well, we'll see how well the record sells if it ever comes out.
Why don't you go and look up forums for bands like Metallica, Maiden, Megadeth etc. I think it's pretty clear the more popular a band is the bigger a following it'll have on internet forums.
The fact this place gets less and less interest, culminating in what we have now with only two trolls regularly posting after Joey comes back, well...it speaks for itself.
I'm happy enough Joey is back, I don't mind if it's him or Bush in the band I like them both. But clearly Joey rejoining hasn't signaled a huge rush of interest in the band.
No one gives a fuck either way.

Ha ha ha, you do it again! You're defending Bruce against the exact same shite you post yourself about Bush!

Backwater website? It's their OFFICIAL website's forum. If anyone at all is looking to talk about Anthrax, this is where they would go.
And Anthrax with Joey in 2005 played the same fucking venues as John Bush. And the only gigs Anthrax has done thus far in 2010 could have easily been booked with John as well.

I expect you people to stop calling him a vocal god when he clearly isn't one. In Wrathchild, my favorite Maiden song, he sounds like a stabbed pig when he screams "Louder" during the chorus. This is nothing personal towards you though, I hate all Maiden-sheep the same. Oh, Dio was pushing seventy and his voice was as good as it was 40 years ago.

Well you are definitely in the minority with your opinion. Dickinson is in the top 10 of all time metal vocalists in just about any reader poll you will find. Often times number 1. But thats fine, what ever makes you feel good about yourself. And what are you talking about in Wrathchild, you are speaking of Paul Di'ano I would assume???

I don't give damn if I'm in the minority because I don't base my opinion on what other people think. I don't care what other people think, I think for myself.
They do still play Wrathchild live you know.
Here's Maiden at it's best

Dickinson in my opinion is probably the most overated vocalist in the genre, I could name 20 off the bat that I think are far better. My biggest problems with him are a lack of real feeling in his singing and the fact that he could never sing for shit live, one again, all just my opinion, hardly anyone agrees. I definately hear the remsemblance to a stabbed pig.
I saw a vid on Youtube where he just destroyed Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and got tons of praise. I don't get it.

Here it is:
If this is who you consider the greatest singer of all time, well...I feel very sorry for you.
