Classically Trained Musician Weighs in on Metal Vocalists
Choice quote, on Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden:
He achieves an intensely rhythmic delivery of the lyrics without losing legato and musical momentum, something a lot of classical singers struggle with, especially when interpreting the many staccato and accent markings that crowd scores by Bellini, Donizetti, etc.
I love Bruce Dickinson and mostly agree with everything the writer says. Ozzy, even though he rules, has a horrible voice.
If we’re talking about true male vocal talent in hard rock or metal, then honestly, Geoff Tate from Queensryche should be on one of these lists. Nothing to do with Queensryche as a band, or Queensryche’s subject matter (because it’s gotten pretty cheesy after Empire and Operation: Mindcrime was AMAAAAAAAZING), but that dude has sick range.
