Favorite metal vocalists?

Maynard James Keenan
Phil Anselmo
Kirk Windstein
Neil Fallon
Mikael Akerfeldt

are the first that spring to mind.

oh and bruce dickinson. i'm not a big maiden fan but i saw them live and loved every single second of it.
 
As was stated in the controversial opinions (or whatever it was) thread, he can be nasal on occasion but anyone denying his mad vocal skillz as a whole fails at metal. In addition to him...

Jon Oliva
John Arch
John Stewart (Slauter Xstroyes)
Mark Antoni (Realm)
Keith Deen (Holy Terror)
 
I love Marcolin's theatrical approach, but Langquist gets a vote as well for his performance on the debut.

Langquist is my favorite Candlemass vocalist tbh. Wish he'd have stayed.

Nah I'm referring to the fact that any educated, trained singer would recognize him as talented.

Talented? Yes. Doesn't make his voice any less fucking annoying though.

Bruce isn't nasal at all you retard. Dave Mustaine is nasal. Get a clue.
Yes he is.

You have conveniently chosen to ignore the fact that I provided an example of a nasal vocalist

Compare Mustaine's vocals with Dickinsons. As you can clearly hear, Mustaine basically sings through the top of his head. There is no diaphragm in the equation at all. Everything is snarled. Dickinson may wail, but he's singing from his diaphragm. Don't confuse wailing with nasality.
