Why is Angus Young on that list ? Doesn't it say "greatest METAL (  Roll Eyes ) FRONTMAN (  Shocked ) ?

Oh and Mike Patton ranked 11th is...laughable. You may or may not like his stuff but he is one of the most versatile and talented singer ever.

EDIT : my bad, thought that frontman usually meant "lead vocalist"...

You'd think metal edge would have a decent conception of what metal actually is...apparently my expectations are too high?

I know all of us would like to see Axl as first on the list, but is a pretty well deserved 4th place,  Im happy for that!

Nice

I don't think Dickinson should be that high on the list, though.

But...
Whatever.
Ever seen Maiden live? Not only does Dickenson have one of the strongest voices in rock history, but the guy brings the house down live.

Well... no... not yet  Grin
They're coming March 20th.
Don't know if I?ll be there though...  Sad

It appears that by front man they mean a man that fronts a band whether he sings or not.

I'd say jimmy page was the front man as well.

Hard rock and metal get so blurred.  I'd have to agree that these polls make Metal Edge look "Knot Medal".

I mean wouldn't you name Chris Barnes of Cannibal Corpse as a more influential metal singer than say David Lee Roth, pitiful.

It is a strange list.  They should have called it "hard rock" instead, as its a broader term. But everyone on the list has influenced metal to some extent, so I buy it. However, Roth should be #1. Everything else is debatable.

I figured Ozzy would be higher, he sort of is the god father of metal right?


I really didn't think Led Zep were metal.....


I'd go Axl 1. Hefield 2.

Baz should be top 10, Seriously have the never heard Slave to The Grind? Who the fuck can outsing Sebastian when it comes to metal not named Halford and I think that is even debatable.

I think if it was just about singing then he would be, but this list seems to also be about influence and presence and whatever, which is why you have guys like Angus Young, Alice Cooper, and Gene Simmons ahead of him. All things considered I actually thought he was in a pretty good spot, just below Halford. Well above a lot of guys I would have expected to unfairly be above him.
