[Ron Jeremy]

Bob Dylan???.....great song writer, but as for being best singer???...NO WAY!

 

[hrundi99]

He started singing as the voice of the hobos and was influenced greatly by the likes of Woody Guthrie.

His voice is better than a lot of people think, and you have to hear a lot of his music to be able to truly appreciate.

It's horses for courses. I can't see Pavarotti singing "Only A Hobo" and doing it justice. His time as a protest singer taught him to sing the song, if you know what I mean.

Later on he sang differenly according to the material. When you hear him singing technically badly it is usually for effect.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

True, but compared to Lennon, Dio, Rose???.

Maybe his voice was like a fine wine :lol:

 

[Red Bear]

Hetfield
Lennon
Greg Graffin(Bad Religion)
Fat Mike
Ozzy(Black Sabbath era)

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Greg Graffin, brillant!!!

I always liked Ozzy's voice, but compared to Ronnie D??.....there was no comparison IMO.

 

[hrundi99]

I despise Axl Rose's voice just quietly.

Hair bands (etc.) just don't do it for me mate.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

No one likes Hair bands??, they where brillant!!, great guitar, vocals the whole persona was magnificent!!

Axl's voice could annoy some, but his voice was so distinctive i really appreciated it.

Hair Bands where great for Rock n' Roll, unfortunately....we don't see these bands these days and other crap has filtered through.
