Peter Frampton. He had that foot pedal thing in the Geico commercials which made it really sound metal.

[AlWilsonizKING]

Just off the top of my head without much thinking (the way it usually goes hehe) I'd say...


Ozzy in his Sabbath days.



PEACE!!!

Its tough to say. Do you mean metal like Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc? Or do you mean metal like All That Remains, Parkway Drive, etc?

Right now, I listen to a lot of All That Remains, GWAR, Parkway Drive, I Killed The Prom Queen, and stuff like that. I've always been kind of fond of the singer from the Deftones...very versatile voice, but not so much metal as the other bands I mentioned.

[BroncoFanatic]

Geoff Tate - Queensryche

I forgot about Tate. Good Call. RAGE FOR ORDER!!! :D:beer:

Phil Anselmo gets my vote. Not a complete growler or a screamer, but kind of a little of both with excellent balance and control. Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual...all of his bands sound great with him on the mic.

As far as radio metal goes...I'll agree with Tate. AWESOME voice and range.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Chino Moreno from the Deftones has always been a vocalist I admired. I enjoy the Deftones as a whole, and was thrilled to have got to see them at the VFW a night before the show in Fargo when they were headlining the Taste of Chaos tour back in 2006. I hear a lot of Mike Patton (Faith No More, Peeping Tom) and Robert Smith (The Cure) in his vocals, mixed with a lot of others as well. He's just versatile. He can do it all. Now, he's not the best metal voice all time, but he's just a great vocalist who can chill your bones one minute, and then set them on fire the next.

[CrazyHorse]

The King of Rock'N'Roll
Ronnie James Dio

[Devilspawn]

Ozzy

Axl Rose

Joe Elliott - Def Leppard

I listen to metal, but cannot be considered a fan. With that said Def Leppard's Hysteria album is in my top-10 of all-time albums period.
