Who in your opinion has/had the most powerful hard rock voice of all time?

I'd say either Rob Halford, Bruce Disckinson, or Ronnie James Dio.

Chris Cornell, if it came down to it.

-AC

Yeah, I'd go along with that. He's got a forkin' great voice.

Ill say Joacim cans (Hammerfall), Mr.Lordi (Lordi), Corey Taylor (Slipknot) and Bruce dickinson (Iron Maiden)


PS. Till (the singer Of Rammstein)

And

Well...I can't think of anyone else than Joey Belladonna right now...

Hahahaha. Good Lord.

Cornell. The man could drown out a plane.

Burton C. Bell (of Fear Factory) can belt a song out with the best of them.

James Hetfield or Bruce Dickinson would get my vote.

cornell, in his prime. hands down.

Definitely Cornell. But he smokes too many cigarettes, I think, because he's not nearly as powerful as he used to be.

Chris from American Idol.

Well, duh! Also Corey Taylor.

Bruce Disckinson by far.

Have to go with James Hetfield.

He's in a metal band, so is Bruce Dickinson.

What band is Cornell in?

Currently, he's in Audioslave. He used to be in Soundgarden.

Yeah I'd go with Cornell. Eddie Vedder is fantastic but not anywhere close to him.

that dude from that band were they make noise with strings on sticks

In no order
Chris Cornell (Soundgarden)
James Hetfield
Freddy Mercury
Billy Joel. No joke.
Devin Townsend

Basically any band with a guitarist then.

I havent heard some of the artists you guys said, but i have to say the singer in hard rock that has effected me the most is Maynard. I think his voice is amazing.

Although true, neither of those are the criterion of the thread.

Yeah, I agree Billy Joel has a pretty powerful voice.

Freddie Mercury, Billy Joel...agreed but hardrock?

Lan Staley
Bon Scott
Robert Plant
Bruce Dickinson
Chris Cornell

Chris Cornell By the same token.....when has Chris Cornell sang hard rock??? And I should have mentioned Wayne Static.

Audioslave, hard rock band.

-AC

I've seen Halford/Judas Priest live like 5 times... And even when I was setting in the noise bleeds, my ears were ringing. How he friggin hits those notes, and hit them with that amount of power at his age shocks me... but then again I shouldnt be shocked cuz he's a ****ing metal god.

Him and David Draiman.

If Metal counts, then Randy Blythe and Devin Townsend too.

wat 'bout Anthony Kiedis(RHCP)
guys???

His voice isn't powerful.

Just because you like someone, doesn't make them good at everything.

Bruce Dickinson
Bon Scott
Brain Johnson
Billy Joe Armstrong
Freddie Mercury

i went to a Thursday gig once, and the power went out on his mic, and you could still hear his voice clearly... pretty powerful.

also, Grady Avenell has a strong voice.

I always classed him as a metal vocalist, really.
