Greatest Glam/Hair Metal Vocalists

The Top Ten
1 Miljenko Matijevic Miljenko Matijevic is a Croatian-American singer and songwriter. He is best known as the lead vocalist and songwriter of rock band Steelheart. He has a big following in South Korea and has worked on several South Korean TV series.

In his younger years he sings live of 'She's Gone' and without a doubt he has a high range of vocal... Do not underestimate him.

Best vocal range! Hit high notes effortlessly... He's so compassionate about his music, he feels the lyrics that he is singing.. Nothing can top that! Milli has my vote all the way!

Amazing Singer! He still hits all the high notes. He can sing a beautiful love song and than scream to a heavy song! The best live performance ever.!

Very good, sings highest notes. Today he's as good as he was in 90s.

2 Sebastian Bach Sebastian Philip Bierk, known professionally as Sebastian Bach, is a Canadian heavy metal singer who achieved mainstream success as frontman of Skid Row from 1987-96. Since his departure from Skid Row, he has had many television roles, acted in Broadway plays, and leads a solo career.

He is (or was) an incredible singer. I love how emotional his voice sounds in slower power ballads like "Wasted Time", "18 And Life", and "Quicksand Jesus". It'a a real shame that he got kicked out of Skid Row.

I will pick him despite his outrages, due to the fact that he can damn near sing anything.

The best guy you can meet and sing with

Brilliant songwriter, great singer, distinct voice and style should be higher on this list

10 Paul Stanley Stanley Bert Eisen, known professionally by his stage name Paul Stanley, is an American musician, singer, songwriter and painter best known for being the rhythm guitarist and co-lead singer of the rock band Kiss.
The Contenders
11 Vince Neil (Motley Crue) Vincent Neil Wharton is an American vocalist and musician, best known as the lead vocalist of glam metal/ hair metal band Mötley Crüe.

Hello he must be number one because he worked with the most notorious rock band on earth,motley crue and why he is so low on this list?. He brought the glam metal sound with sex, drugs and rock n roll with the first 5 albums in the 80s
Is the only glam metal band which continued with original line up since the 1980s and today but they disbanded since 2015 the last day of the year before 2016. Do you remember this vocalist but I do, do you know what I mean?

Vince was one hell of a frontman back in the 1980's. Had a damn great voice too. Just listen to "Live Wire" and "Without You".

12 Axl Rose (Guns N' Roses) William Bruce Rose Jr., better known as 'Axl Rose', is an American singer born on February 6, 1962, in Lafayette, Indiana. He Is the founder and lead singer of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses. He is a celebrated but controversial figure in the world of rock.

Snider came to prominence in the early 1980s as lead singer of the heavy metal band Twisted Sister. He was ranked 83 in the Hit Parader's Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time.
15 Kip Winger

Should be on here as well. Winger is more on the melodic side but Kip has a great voice. He still sounds good today.

16 Eric Martin
17 Tom Keifer (Cinderella)
18 Stephen Pearcy Stephen Eric Pearcy, known as Stephen Pearcy, is an American musician. He is best known as the creator, singer, and songwriter of the heavy metal band Ratt.

Should be on here

21 Michael Sweet Michael Harrison Sweet is a singer from Whittier, California; he is the co-founder, writer, lead guitarist, lead singer and front man of the Christian metal band Stryper. He was also singer and guitarist for Boston from 2007 to 2011.

Stryper is good but by know means my favorite band. Yet, I believe the Mr. Sweet is at worst top 3. I just can't imagine any of those guys on this list signing like he can. When I heard to help with the devil I just could not believe people think guys like Piercy or Neil are anywhere close to as good as him. I just hate people like a certain band so they think he is the best singer and like Neil or Percy they are ok to under average. My favorite band is Megadeth but I would never get Mustaine as the b es t metal singer! Thought he is a better guitaris t than any hair metal bums!

22 Kevin DuBrow (Quiet Riot)

I like his voice

23 Michael Starr (Steel Panther)
24 Joey Tempest Rolf Magnus Joakim Larsson, better known as Joey Tempest, is a Swedish singer, lead singer, and main songwriter of the rock band Europe.
