My buddy and neighbor John Arch and of course Rob Halford

Drifter[SWE] · November 1st, 2007, 02:16 PM

No-one mentions Jonny Lindqvist of Nocturnal Rites. One of the greatest voices I've ever heard.

My favourites:
Jonny Lindqvist
Harry Conklin
Dio
Bruce Dickinson
Jorn Lande
Matt Barlow
Geoff Tate
Charles Rytkönen

I'm also a dorky DC Cooper fangirl. Yes, I realize he's much prettier than I am, but he sings his ass off.

Yeah, I totally agree, and lots of people have the same opinion: take a look at this customer review of his work with the Italian band Steel Seal, for instance.

Rock on!

Got to put John Arch up there. Not just because he is a friend and neighbor but because Fates Warning was a bright light back when there was not a lot of good Metal bands out there (aside from Priest & Maiden)

Along w/ Jag Panzer was Liege Lord for the best of non-mainstream Metal

Harry certainly ranks up there w/ Dio, Halford and Dickenson

As for Manowar, Battle Hymns offered a few songs that will forever be classics: Battle Hymns and Dark Avenger

I used to be a HUGE Queensryche fan but saw them recently opening for Heaven & Hell and sadly, it was very disappointing

In fact, Alice Cooper stole the show... Dio did not even come out for an encore. It's impossible to follow and act like Alice Cooper

I also like Saxon back in the day

As John is a friend and neighbour of you, do you know if he has any plans to make new music?

Not as far as I know, he has not mentioned anything in the works other then buying a new acoustic guitar to mess around with. John is into serious competition mountain biking now and that takes up a lot of his time. The last thing he did was a 2 song ep which is well worth checking out

He is a family man and the lessons learned from Fates Warning put a new perspective in his life as to what is really tangible and important in that life

Damn, John Arch is one of my favorite singers of all time! It must be so cool living next door to him!

Orfanos · November 23rd, 2007, 02:49 PM

Thanks for the info, Dean ML Tribute.

Of course I have John's 2 song EP from the day it was released at 2003. Very good piece of music and gave me a hope of a total return. But as you say... Perhaps it's better for him to save his myth, as now has other properties.

Dave Coopmans · April 7th, 2008, 04:33 PM

I went to Keep-It-True this weekend and saw Titan Force on friday and Jag Panzer on saterday and I know for sure Harry "The Tyrant" Conclin has without a doubt the best metalvoice in the world. Unbelievable what this man can do, what a range, what a melody, what power. Jag Panzer played 2 hours and there where no mistakes. I've seen a lot of concerts including Manowar, Priest, Dio and all the other bands you talk about. But in my opinion (MY opinion) Harry Conclin is number 1.
Greetings Dave.

ToastedOveries · April 30th, 2008, 05:06 PM

1.Dio
2.Russel Allen
3.Ian Gillan

someone said glen hughs :O just personal opinion, but id rather eat shit than watch him show up deep purple at cal jam 74, the cunt wouldnt shut the hell up

TheBodomBeachTerror · April 30th, 2008, 07:10 PM

1. Harry Conklin
2. Roy Kahn
3. James Hetfield

Barbarian lord · May 1st, 2008, 03:55 AM

I have to agree. After seeing Jag Panzer and Titan Force at KIT, there's no one I've seen compare to Conklin live.

Michael von Rabensblut · June 2nd, 2008, 08:10 AM

Because I am a singer myself I want to give an add to this list of the superb angelic voices:

Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin (JP

)
Matt Barlow (Iced Earth)
Russ North (Cloven Hoof)
Thorsten Kohlrausch (Dark At Dawn)
Mark The Shark Shelton (Manilla Road)
Rob Rock
Michael Kiske (ex- Helloween)
Brian Thomas (Halloween)
Sean Peck (Cage)
Messiah Marcolin (ex- Candlemass)

And not to forget Bob Parduba. Fits very well to Chain of Command album. You did a very good job there Bob.

(And Hell Yeah I have to edit it one more time one more add, David De Feis the absolute 4,5 octaves singer. Nobody can sing that high as him).

I really love extraordinary voices, and each of these guys has a special one.

Ivory Tiger · September 10th, 2008, 03:37 PM

Rob Halford
Harry Conklin
Bob Parduba
John Oliva
Michael Kiske
Tony Moore (Riot)
Mark Boals (Malmsteen)
Bobby Franklin (Medieval Steel)
Larry Philips (Emerald)
Allan Alman (Oracle)
Inaki (Exodo)
Ultra Dave (Ion Britton)

British Viking · November 30th, 2009, 04:07 AM

David DeFeis! Don't know why he has only two other mentions. His voice is just insane.

Matt Barlow comes as a close second.

Roddoliver · November 30th, 2009, 06:21 PM

Right now, I'm amazed by Tim Aymar and his work with Pharaoh. Excellent vocals but I never heard him live to see if he is really that good.

Up&Away · December 4th, 2009, 03:24 PM

Jorn Lande. I saw he was listed earlier in the thread...like 2 years ago or more. IMO...he's still on top.

Mr.Sister · July 20th, 2010, 12:48 PM

Halford and Russ anderson (Forbidden)

Both not only good singers, but they have a great sense for melody. A lot of unbelievable hooklines on nearly every song without sounding stupid.
