Most badass metalsinger?

[Gustavo_Loureiro]

no one can beat that deep voice

 

[Ben Johnson]

Sir Russell Allen

Correct.

 

[Notuern]

Go back one album earlier to "Power Metal" (which seems like many people don't know about it) to hear an even wider range than "Cowboys". Got to see them in concert for this album.

+1 on Phil, Roy Khan, Rob Halford, and RJ Dio!!

That album kicks major ass, I actually play in a band that plays the same kind of music.

But I dont think he shows his full range on that album.
He doesnt really do anything really low on it, neither does he use the Phil "growls", although he sings alot more on it.

I think he's an amazing singer and growler. One of the best and most original IMO.

Actually, there's one who CAN:

 

[Seizure.]

So, who do you think is the most badass metalsinger?

I think that Phil Anselmo is no. 1.
Because he has such a sick range(4 octaves, not counting falsettos.), and if you listen to the record "Cowboys From Hell" you can hear everything from regular singing to falsettos, screams, growls etc. and he does it so damn perfect.
Of course his not that good anymore, but "in the good old days" i belive he was unbeatable.

+alot.
Powermetal singers suck balls

 

[Josh Burgess]

Tommy Rogers and Rody Walker

My favorites: Dio, Chuck Billy, Matt Barlow, Kirk Windstein, Bjorn Strid, Halford, Ripper Owens...

Oh yeah! Totally forgot. Back in the Abducted days I didn't think he was that amazing, but the stuff he's done on Virus and Nightmares made Flesh is some of the best out there! Also his stuff with Pain is kind of cool vocally.
