Top 20 METAL SINGERS OF ALL TIME
Next up in my Best Vocalists of All Time series, we have the Top 20 Metal, Male Vocalists of All Time.
This one was a little challenging to compile as I had to try and make the call of who belongs in which camp.
I tried to focus on including those that would still fall under the 80s and 90s metal category but there was still some crossover with those that were included on the Top 20 Rock Vocalists.
Again I compiled this list based on the polling we did with all of you, combined with my own input.
We'll be looking at clips of the artists performing and there will be honorable mentions included at the end.
I'd love for you all to continue to chime in and let me know if you thought I missed anyone!
Also here's the versions I and my students have done of songs from the artists mentioned in the video:

I've also included here some interesting facts about some of the artists from the top 20:
Geoff Tate
A wine enthusiast, he started making wine at age 14, explaining: "I was a boy scout and you could get a merit badge if you created a beverage or a food product and I made dandelion wine, which wasn't very good but definitely sparked my interest and got me started on that passion."The passion for wine further developed when Tate was in Queensrÿche: "I have been collecting wine seriously since the band first got signed back in 1983 and we were touring the world. I'd make special arrangements to leave at certain points of the tour and take off and head into the wine regions. I started to become even more interested in how it was made and how grapes were grown and which grapes grew best where and that type of thing." Tate has given several interviews to the magazine Wine Spectator. In 2010, Geoff and Susan Tate launched their own brand of wine, "Insania".
Jon Bon Jovi
When he was seventeen, Bon Jovi was sweeping floors at his cousin Tony Bongiovi's recording studio, Power Station. In 1980, when Meco was there recording Christmas in the Stars: The Star Wars Christmas Album, Tony Bongiovi recommended John for the song "R2-D2We Wish You A Merry Christmas", which became his first professional recording (credited as John Bon Jovi).

Come on Ken! Geoff Tate 19? Seriously?😄 it’s not fair. Singing wise,I think he beats almost all those others easily. His live performances are just as amazing as his studio ones. He is such a technical vocalist and doesn’t have to make a lot of effort to make those high notes. It’s totally in his comfort zone. Anyway, thanks a lot for your wonderful channel. I love it. You’re really cool.

Understatement of the year. He’s #1 for me not just for his range- there’s lots of guys that can hit high notes but Geoff’s emotion and tone give me goosebumps. It’s a vote though and most likely less people have heard of Queensryche than some of the others.

@ChangGang 4 года назад

Since you're a singing teacher you should make your own top 20 of actual metal singers that can sing instead of a popularity contest. Geoff Tate, Kiske, Steelheart singer, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio should be the top 5.

@kentamplin 4 года назад

@michaelhayes8989 4 года назад

Im glad Dio number 1 in my opinion

@C1sc0M4n 2 года назад

Agreed, but I think Klaus should be in there instead of Halford---Halford maybe #6 IMO, and Bruce Dickenson #7. Also, @Ken Tamplin, I think you could have included some better song examples---for instance, for Geoff Tate, I think "Take Hold Of The Flame" would highlight his singing ability much better, and "Still Loving You" would have done it for Klaus. Miljenko Matijevic should definitely be in the top 5 though, but he may be more "glam" rock.

Warrel Dane of Sanctuary and Nevermore was also a phenomenal Vocalist I consider him to be the most underrated Heavy Metal singer of all time. He had a vocal range of 5 to 6 octaves. Check out songs soldier's of steel from Inception album by Sanctuary. Dreaming neon black title song from Nevermore. Also Lance King Vocalist is very underated for a Metal singer his cover of Queensryches eye's of a stranger is awesome video is on RU-vid.

It would be more fair if the title was"Best metal vocalists of the 80's". I mean all these guys are huge but maybe there are other great metal vocalists that started in the late 90's or after 2000 and are officially excluded as they cannot compete in terms of active years

100%. Most people have no clue how good he was before he ruined his voice. He was in a Judas Priest cover bad in the 80’s and if you listen to Power Metal (Pantera’s best album in my opinion) he kills it.

One guy who regularly is forgotten about because he's in a pretty goofy band but certainly at least deserves a honorable mention: Eric Adams. Not a huge Manowar fan myself but nobody can deny that he's a phenomenal vocalist who (IMHO) would have deserved a top 10 position

I know, it must be the social distancing getting to me. Well, if you are thinking of doing such a list, I would like to offer some suggestions to throw into the hat: Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Shania Twain, Linda Ronstadt, Raul Malo, John Denver.

I'm happy to hear 2 famous metal singer from germany. I like the tone of Michael Kiske and Klaus Meine, but i like the tone of Hansi Kurch from Blind Guardian a bit more. Tobias Sammet from Avantasia is a great german metal vocalist too. I wonder why Tommy Karevik from Kamelot hasn't been on the honorable mentions. Overall there are a lot of great metal vocalists and could maybe be a top 50.

@BlazeDBFZ 4 года назад

ken really needs to listen to some newer bands...or make a list of top 20 "unknown" metal singers. Vocal technique wise there's sooo many singers breaking boundaries of the voice. 1. daniel heiman (lost horizon, dimhav, harmony, heed) 2. alessandro conti (Luca turilli's rhapsody, twilight force) 3. Tommy Johansson (Majestica, Reinxeed) 4. Sean peck (death dealer, Cage) 5. Fabio Lione (Rhapsody) 6. Yiannis Papadoupolos (Beast in Black) 7. Mike Patton (Faith no more) 8. Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) 9. Andre Matos (Angra) 10. Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia) or even just newer frontmen with unique voices like Joakim Broden (sabaton) or Jari Mäenpää (Wintersun) appreciating old bands is great but half of the list wouldn't be considered metal by most people and newer artists need recognition too

@blazejecar 4 года назад

@@detroitrockscity thats precisely it though. They're world class singers and deserve to get recognition for what they do. If a video is made specifically about lesser known singers, it wouldn't be a marketing issue, it would be Ken using his experience and knowledge to pick out promising singers or already inhumane singers so that they can work up the reputation over time. I love the singers from this video as much as the next guy, but the way this is made it seems like there wasn't a single good metal singer on the scene in the last 20 years, when in reality there's better technical singers than ever before. Take Daniel Heiman from that OG comment list. Dude has full-voice Eb6s at 50 years of age, even dimash's belting range stops at Bb5, daniel is an absolute technical monster but noone ever talks about him

I've always been fond of Jeff Scott Soto's voice, and I have literally everything he ever did, so I'm glad he made at least the honorable mentions. This said, I expected from the top vocal coach on the web a list of vocalists based just on their singing skills, while clearly here there are many other aspects taken into consideration, as you clearly state. People like Kelly Hansen, Russell Allen, André Matos, Devin Townsend, Jorn Lande, and the king of metal himself, Eric Adams, deserved the list much more than many included, and again, I mean just from the singing skills point of view. Thanks anyway, it's always pleasant to watch your videos :-)
