Hell, just about any vocalist I have on my Zune (probably around 50-60 different artists/bands) is better than that guy.  But, in all honesty, I hate Iron Maiden with a passion.

There is no way in hell that Ozzy has a better voice.

The best metal singer range-wise is Geoff Tate of Queensryche, hands down.

The most powerful metal singer is Ronnie James Dio.

Steal This Album was far better than Hypnotized and (especially) Mesmerized.

Scott Weiland - listen to some typical STP stuff, then their acoustic version of Plush - has an incredible voice in either loud or quiet.

Really? I only liked a few songs like "Mr. Jack". Mesmerize was OK but I was a fan of Hypnotize. My favorite track was "She's Like Heroin". Toxicity is still their best though

The only people who have better vocals than Bruce Dickinson are people who

1) Have a cleaner voice

2) Can hold a steady pitch and vibrato longer than him

3) Have a higher range, and number of styles

And there aren't many people who outmatch Bruce in all 3 of his singing styles.

And yes, this thread is stupid because it refers to any musical genre. There are so many good singers out there that it's extremely hard to compare. Now if this thread as solely about metal, there wouldn't be much artists that could compare.

Led Zeppelin and Queen instantly came to mind without much thought.

Another poster mentioned STP. Astute observation. Scott has an amazing voice. Overlooked.

Not at all, she's the only vocalist I know that sends shivers up my spine everytime I hear her, I've never heard someone with such strong control over their voice.

you sir, have good taste. Geoff tate owns bruce! Also Kip winger, blackie lawless, sebastian bach, steve perry. I could go on and on

The best metal singer range-wise is Geoff Tate of Queensryche, hands down.

The most powerful metal singer is Ronnie James Dio.

Nifty_Shark

Steal This Album was "eh,"  Mesmerize had no good songs on it, and Hypnotize was an even bigger "eh."  And I'd agree there, Toxicity was their best.

I don't know if he's the best, but he's definitely up there. Anyone who says he doesn't have good vocals is just outright lying and/or in denial. He has an amazing range, and, like mentioned earlier, can hold his pitch and vibratos incredibly steady for long durations.

No one. If you've seen Maiden live then you know there is nothing as amazing as Bruce Dickinson's voice & performance. And yes, I've seen Opeth live as well.

Sorry but Iron Maiden kinda sucks and though a few of their songs are really cool, I dont think they had anything or did anything that makes them any different than any other big hair super band in the 80s..
