Yeah man, Perry has got a real cool voice, but when Rogers sings, he just sounds so fucking masculine ;D Kinda like "Hey woman, you are mine baby" The dude just sounds so cock sure of himself 8) "I take whatever I want, and baby I want you" Feel like makin' Love by Paul Rogers

It's all about range and tone. Consistency in performance and overall health help too.

I don't respect a guy (or gal) who can sing great in the studio but totally bombs in live performances.


Bruce Dickinson manages both aspects very well. He has a great depth and solid range, live and in the studio. The lead singer of Queensrche (Geoff Tate???) has some great depth and range also. He doesnt have the professionalism of Bruce; nevertheless, his studio stuff is phenomenal.


"Eyes of a stranger"

"I don't believe in love"

"Jet City woman"-- my favorites.


Dream Theater: "Pull me under" and "another day" showed some crazy vocal talent. Not sure who was doing the vocals. Petrucci seemed to be the only one who really rose from the ashes.


Joe Lyn Turner with Rainbow was kickin' for a while. Not sure where he went or what happened.


Sebastian Bach and  Axel Rose had their moments, but only in the studio. Live performances aren't even worth mentioning. Voices were trash by the time they were a week into their tours.

bono is a decent singer.......loud aswell.......but as far as control and pushin his voice without it breaking up in any way is not even close to being near the best......

that guy posted above.......(melodic screaming)........ has rediculous control and theres no chance of a mistake or his voice breaking up


also see jeff buckley...... most controlled vocalist ever i'd say.......except from a few female vocalists

Robert Palmer had some pretty cool vocals on him. I remember the 1st time dat I ever heard "Hey Julia" dude sounded like a black dude "blue-eyed soul" at it's finest 8) Also, Micheal McDonald from the Doobie Bros also had dat blue-eyed soul thing going on
