Who is Eric Adams? - Singer Breakdown 

4 wimps and posers disliked this, and need to leave the hall!

Most underrated metal singer ever, and most likely the best one, no one has such a powerful scream as Eric does

Most underrated vocalist. I love his voice and screams.

Eric Adams is the best singer of all times!!!!!!!All Hail to Manowar

Thank you, been listening to Manowar since Battle Hymns was released, still blows me away nearly 40 years later.

I saw them back in '96, '98 and then again, 20 years later, in 2018. And Eric still just delivers. That man truly is one of the all-time greats. Anybody who denies that needs to really listen to the amazing art he produces with his voice. It's not just the impeccable technique and the range. It's the bravado, the role he plays on stage. He is a storyteller first and foremost. I can just lose myself in the world that he creates within the space of one song.

He is the low key best singer in the history of metal. Halford, Dickinson, and Dio get all the accolades but they can't touch this guy.

Nobody screams like Eric Adams, one of Metal's most powerful vocalists... He is a KING OF METAL!!! ⚔️

the greatest, most powerful and yet underrated metal vocalist of all time. it blows my mind how he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

It was a fantastic time, i was 17 years old and Eric Adams,Michael Kiske, David De Feis, Midnight, Dio, Halford, Dickinson, Tate were around and they were in their prime. I had the best youth, thanks to their voices.

Great breakdown. I've seen Eric live twice in small venues while they were preparing for a European tour. To say is amazing is a gross understatement...he truly is a gift to metal and all music in general.

That clip from Achilles, Agony, and Ecstacy. Pure nostalgia trip for me. I wish The Triumph of Steel lineup would get back together and play they whole song live on tour.

The voice of metal still unmatched at his 70 years. Watch him singing live this very year and you'll see why

One of the best singers/performers in the history of music!

Fantastic breakdown - thank you. I think Eric is basically untouchable - for me he is the great metal singer, perhaps even the greatest in rock.

A god amongst men, that's what he is. One of my favourite vocalists. I've seen manowar live a few times and he's always been fantastic.

I have followed Manowar since Battle Hymns. I love how Eric's voice has grown over the years. I would love to be able to meet him and the rest of the group. They have taught me a lot on how to count on myself and not follow the crowd. Hail and Kill.

That Hector's FInal Hour live recording must be from the 2019 concert in Greece. It was at about halfway in during a 2hrs+ gig, that was truly relentless. They wouldn't even stop to catch a breath between songs.

In my younger geeky DnD playing days in the 80's, my friend gave me an album called Fighting the World by a group called Manowar. I was a power metal head at the time, (Iron Maiden, Priest, Dio) and was blown away by the album, and especially the ability of the singer. I thought he rivalled any of the top metal singers of that day. Needless to say Manowar became my goto listen when we needed to take on the hordes of goblins or undead in our DnD campaign :)

the best and power voice ever walked in this earth, i'm italian and i was present in the "nessun dorma" he was and actually is the one who repeat the chorus 3 times in a live session

THE BEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME THE GREAT ERIC ADAMS

One thing that these guys really had/have going for them is they were workout beasts. Many people don’t realize how much playing music actually physically strains you, it’s really hardcore. That’s why you get many bands who start sounding really bad near the end of a long tour, or they only do a short tour all together because they know they can’t survive a 12+ gig tour. The shape that Manowar keeps them in is a massive help and, of course, these guys have serious natural talent. Eric Adams is a fantastic vocalist with so much power behind it.

Nice breakdown of one of the absolute greatest to ever fucking do it. Zach Ansley is the vocal coach you´re talking about. The best analizes out there.

Eric the IMMORTAL!! His intonation is still impeccable.

Amazing insight, research and understanding of this truly great singer. Well done Static Yonder 💪😎

great video! Would love to see more

Sadly and criminally underrated and underexposed in the U.S. He is not just the greatest metal vocalists ever, he is one of the greatest vocalists in history. His versatility is unmatched.

As a devoted Manowar fan of over 20 years, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing it with us. One of my fondest memories is seeing Manowar at the Earthshaker Fest in 2005. Eric completely blew me away, especially in Battle Hymn with all the (at the time) past and present members together. Hail Manowar!

One more thing: his name is Louis Marullo. Eric and Adam are his sons, and he took Eric Adams as his stage name en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Adams_(musician)

What a great analysis of the best

Well done, great video! Did some research on Manowar lately for a school project and I found your video here. Not only it's been a pleasure watching it. It also provides me with a new view on the man who is the voice of my favourite band, in an easy understandable and musically well researched manner. Thank you very much for putting this video together. I like it very much!

Great video! Whatever I would say, it's mentioned in the comments below. Great job, thanks for the efforts! Hail Eric!

Awesome video!

The best screams of heavy metal. 🤘🤘

Been my favorite metal vocalist since 1984. Great video mate!

Eric Adams RULES. Most Powerful singer in Metal imo. Him and King Diamond are my absolute top favorites

7:33 goosebumps EVERYTIME ! godly!

I had the pleasure to see them twice live!

No doubt and no two opinons- Eric Adams is THE VOICE of Metal and untouchable!!! Nobody is like Eric and nobody can tranportate this passion, the Power and the feelings like him !!! He is the Best !!! FOREVER ERIC ADAMS !!! Hail to you Brother L.M. Greets from Germany

The king ! Love from Austria:)

Im 40 years old and my favourite band always was the manowar since I have 10 years old manowar is another thing in the world of metal is simply beautiful and powerful. I love it

Eric Adams is on par with halford n dio .. overlooked raw talent he really opened up on DARK AVENGER

Born Louis Marullo on July 12, 1952. Eric Adams is his stage name taken from his kids. Second best singer EVER only to Ronnie James Dio.

Great analysis in the video! only one thing i found missing is to mention that the last 10 years, during the live shows they are tuned 2 semitones down.... this is a huge relief for a singer that screams, and almost every metal band is doing it at that age, except iron maiden, so a huge bravo to eric, for trying his best at 71 yrs old, but also kudos to bruce for being the only "famous" metal band that they still hold the original E tuning on their instruments live.

Hail to Eric Adams! One of the best (true) metal vocalists there ever is. Judging on how you say of Eric's past life before he joined Manowar, I take it you've been listening to Joey's Words of Power as well. When it comes to metal screamers, I recommend checking Lost Horizon. They may be a short-lived band, but you get to hear a very powerful vocalist and wide vocal range.

素晴らしい作品ですね。manowar愛がわかります。 Hail from JAPAN! 日本語でごめんなさい🙏

świetny materiał🙂

very cool, Eric is a good singer

Thank you for an excellent analysis. Imo Eric Adams would be the alltime greatest metal vocalist, although Rob Halford and Robert Plant (if you consider him a metal singer) at least would be in the same elite category.

My favorite metal vocalist

Nice job, mate 🤘🏼

Eric Adams, along with Halford, Dickinson, and Dio, helped set the standard for metal vocals. I'm somewhat ashamed of my fellow American metal fans, because Eric never got the recognition here that he deserved. Too many people couldn't look past the early stage costuming, while going nuts over the neon spandex of the Los Angeles scene.

Eric - True Metal God

Well done man! Imho, Eric is the best baritone voice in metal, among other greats such as his hero, Ian Gillan, or Matt Barlow. And let's not forget other baritone giants in rock such as Freddie Mercury, Chris Cornell, David Coverdale, Roy Khan, Jorn Lande... The list would go on endlessly! I'm a classical trained tenor (and I love rock and metal, music is music!!) but let's be honest... The silk qualities of the tone, the warmth, depth and thickness of baritones, are some things which I really love!!! That's because I always find Eric's voice so attractive and beautiful! The only thing I dislike about him is that he had to be more active!! With such a great voice, we have very few records to enjoy his skills!!! I would like to hear your take on Michael Kiske. I find his technique quite fascinating. His transitions are flawless, and his head voice otherworldly. Let's not forget his amazing lows, super influenced by Elvis (another superb baritone). Ian Gillan or Tony Martin (from Black Sabbath) would be amazing choices too! Greetings from Spain man! 😄

One helluva singer💥👍

Nice jobs seen them in the 1980s about five or six times mostly NYC two times with MOTORHEAD on the ORGASMATRON tour .

Wow! Great job, Brother of True Metal!

We are blessed that we could listen to Eric Adams

En directo impresiona mucho

brilliant vid dude, hurry up with the rob halford one!!!!

Eric was a tenor in his prime. He would hit C5 and D5 in full voice (such as Hail to England) and would transition to mixed voice at about E5.

Best Singer in the whole (metal) world ... no one beat his screams in his golden days! Michael Kiske (Helloween, Unisonic) is close to him, but another style, Michaels voice doesn`t aged allover the years, check out the live versions of "Keeper of the seven keys" and "A tale that wasn`t right" from the pumpkins united tour or the stuff on the new brillant album - wish manowar make such a great masterpiece album nowadays! ... of course, there are many great singers and frontmen, but, this two are my absolute favorites! Thx for video!

Thirty-six years Manowar fan . I was 10yo boy and now I am 46yo . Fan for ever .

Nice video lad ! Eric Adams is just the best singer in music history. Hail From Argentina

Your channel is awesome. Just subscribed it. Peace from India.

That was absolutely fantastic . I been a fan of ManoWar since the early days . Not many Brits like my self know them . I would be very interested to what you think of Steve Hogarth from Marillion and his voice on the song Neverland. For me its probably one of the best songs i have heard .

There is no metal more metal than Manowar. Eric is the best vocally, same as Joey on Bass. They are called Kings Of Metal for reason. I was lucky enough to meet them some years ago in Czech. They filmed "I Believe" official clip there, where I can see myself and part of the "Hell on Wheels pt3" as well, where I can see myself several times on DVD. But the best part was (since we were waiting at the gates 12 hours before the show), because we wanted to be on the show in the front row (which we were) and we traveled from Slovakia there for like 8 hours, because of night train connections... so the best part was, after the show, we were in one of the hotel's bar sitting by the counter and then out of the blue someone tap my shoulder, I turned and there was Eric saying "I remember you from the show" Would you believe? :) after Joey came, then few mins later RIP Scott and Karl... they sit there with us maybe for an hour and talked to us like we were friends for many years. They signed of course our Tshirt and tickets. After that I said... "I can die now" , it was amazing.... oh and another small thing, during that weekend because of traveling, show and traveling back (and connections), I wasn't sleeping for almost 65 hours!!! I almost really died 3 years ago I managed to be awake again for 62 hours, during the filming Game Of Thrones (I was there as an extras for half a year) ... but Manowar was not beaten... as always ! HAIL, KILL and DIE

I've seen them 27 times Each time Eric crushed it!!

Awesome singer maybe the best one

Good production interesting... maybe cover someone lesser knowns: Midnight (Crimson Glory) listen to red sharks or Cryilis from Agent Steel , Warrel From Sanctuary listen to batte angels, Wyne or Mike from Metal Church listen to 'the dark' and Badlands.

The best singer of all times. That's it. 🤘🏽👏🏽

Manowar é minha banda do coração ❤ amo de paixao, principalmente a cereja do bolo: Eric Adams que por acaso vou estampalo na pirta inteira de minha geladeira!!❤💪💪🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

🤘🤘

Brazilian metal vocalist Dan Vasc mentioned Eric Adams as one of his favorites. He specifically said, "Not the NYC mayor"!!!🤣🤣🤣

Eric is a beast!!. Best metal singer!. I have more manowar live videos on my channel!!. Thanks for all. #hail

Ivan Rebroff and Eric Adams is my favorite singers. If one wants a treat? Listen to Rebroff. Not metal but still... damn

How about a video on Joey’s composing? His non-metal pieces (as in GoW) are equally powerful as the metal songs imo.

Eric has one of the most powerful voices in the Metal Community, he's absolutely up there with Halford, Bruce Dickinson and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple

Have you heard Dan Vasc, the RU-vid metal singer? He loves Manowar and Eric Adams and Dan’s voice is one of the best right now. He has quite a few Manowar cover songs. He is very skilled.

Nice video

THE BEST metal singer ever.

Hey Brother, where could i see the full first clip with the scream? Seems like a tv studio.

Haill MANOWAR HAILL ERIC ADAMS

Best metal scream of all time very underrated

I was using some f##ing headphones. I have officially lost at least 20 db from both ears, but I am at least 20 years younger! Thanks!!!

Who is Eric Adams? Eric is THE MAN.

In my mind, two do the most powerful male voices are Eric Adams and Devin Townsend.

By "supported falsetto" do you mean a partial glottal closure instead of more fully open vocal cords as seen in full falsetto?

Hail!

props to joey for convincing eric adams to come back and join manowar

Quis dizer: porta rsrs❤💪💪

There's no doubt in my my mind that Eric is up there along with Ronnie James Dio and Rob Halford as one of the greatest heavy metal vocalist of all times. I'm not even a huge fan of Manowar (although I loved them when I was a young teen in the 80's).

Eric

Best Voice in Metal ever

6 of feb i was in forum copenhagen this was my day

Eric Adams should be as much legend, up there with the greatest. He is sadly underrated. Another great singer is Michael Kiske from Helloween. Plz, check him out

Axl Rose and Eric Adams. Both more than 4 octaves ( in their prime ). One of the greater singers of the last 100 years.

Does anyone know what is the video at min 4:14? Eric deserves much more recognition than he gets, I just watched a Manowar video from 2023 of Battle Hymns and it's awesome how he sings,.

Eric is a god leaving among insect

Try this: Norseman Agony
