Top 10 Metal Singers Who Sound Like Other Singers
These Metal Singers May Sound Like Other Metal Singers, or Other Non-metal Singers.Format:
New singer, band - old singer, band,
Which means that the new/younger singer sounds like some more popular or older singer.
I also made a list to make things clearer - Top 10 Edguy Songs that Could Be on Iron Maiden Albums
Tobias Sammet sounds like Bruce Dickinson with a hint of Michael Kiske.
Edguy - Nailed To The Wheel, Sacrifice.
Proof:
Scheepers - Before The Dawn (solo album, 2011)
Primal Fear - Strike, Metal Gods (Judas Priest cover).
Jorn - Stormbringer, Burn (Deep Purple covers)
Jorn - Fool for your loving (Whitesnake cover)
Best vocalist of all time...
I have no problem either. I actually think this similarity is good for Iced Earth. Stu sings the song Raven Wing almost with Matt's voice.
He does sound like barlow, but only becuase Schaffer makes him imitate him
I have no problem with that actually
Volbeat sounds like a hound dog and a donkey that finishes every bellow by hacking up a hairball he picked up where creed left off and actually sounds worse Metallica was one of the original frontrunners for showing the world what rock really is and they put the art in artist the fact someone would remotely think to compare them does a huge discredit to rock bands and rock fans world wide and accross the decades...shame on you
@visitor - you didn't get the idea of this list correctly. We don't compare Metallica and Volbeat, neither how good singers are. We are talking about how similar they sound. Michael Poulsen definitely sounds similar to Hetfield and there are many materials on the internet about this similarity.
Poulsen sounds like Cher, when she sings in the lower register. A friend pointed this out to me and now I can't listen to them, which sucks. Because Volbeat is actually a decent band. But I just can't come to terms with "Cher" singing metal.
MSP sounds like an ANGEL (REBEL) his lyrics can't be touched, they actually make sense and always tell a story - my story. ALL MY LOVE MICHAEL = MUSIC SAVES! XOXOXO
But at the same time there's a big difference - Kiske has no aggression in the voice. Tobias Sammet has aggression and therefore Sammet is closer to Dickinson than Kiske.
Just listened to the Keeper of the Seven Keys (Helloween). Yes, they sound quite similar.
Sings like Bruce but more cleaning, and Scream like 70s Rob Halford.
Sounds like a heavier and darker version of Jim Morrison.
Danzig - Mother, Am I Demon, How The Gods Kill.
His early technique made use of a more aggressive and harsher, "screaming" technique . ...read more.
He's a vocal chameleon and can sound like several singers but most notably:
1) Sounds like Dio (proof: Blind Guardian - Don't Talk To Strangers).
Hansi's voice is the closest possible to Dio's voice: almost same range and as a bonus - placed in absolutely same register.
Even Hansi's speaking voice sounds like Dio's.
2) Sounds like Robert Plant (proof: Demons & Wizards - Immigrant Song).
Thanks for this addition, zxm. I agree - I even wrote it several times, including on the list Top 10 Helker Songs.
I first heard Diego vocals in the band Helker.
Mark Tornillo is their newest singer who joined the band in 2009 and in 2010 Accept released probably the best comeback metal album I know.
Accept - Shades Of Death, Pandemic, Teutonic Terror.
Jorn - Perfect Strangers (Deep Purple cover)
Tim 'Ripper' Owens - Flight Of Icarus (Iron Maiden cover).
Paul Di'Anno would sing this song just like Tim 'Ripper' did.
One reason I like John Bush better than Joey is that he sounds like Layne Staley from Alice in Chains just listen to Sound of White Noise that album sounds pretty simular to something Alice in Chains would do
Somebody actually sounds like Layne?
Tobias Sammet sounds like a blend of Bruce Dickinson and Michael Kiske
I don't think so
Yes, even some of the earliest Stratovarius songs are Helloween rip-offs.
They aren't metal singers and shouldn't be on this list.
Is this a joke? Or a troll item? Or added by somebody who needs hearing aid?
