Top 10 Best Tim 'Ripper' Owens Vocal Performances
Tim 'Ripper' Owens isn't Rob Halford but he's a great singer in his own right. Tim voice is more brutal and demonic than Halford's voice.
I prefer this vocal performance over the Grammy nominated Bullet Train but it's a close battle.
Best Owens song
Best Owens song
With this song he was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1999 but lost out to Metallica's "Better than You".
He did a very good job on this song, including a great intro scream (13 seconds long) and later a second scream for about 12 secs.
His time in Iced Earth wasn't easy - Iced Earth fans just wanted Matt Barlow back. What can I say? - Matt Barlow is awesome but it doesn't mean Tim 'Ripper' is a bad singer.
What's not to like here vocal-wise? Tim's got incredible power, range and vocal technique
A song with remarkable sustain of about 12 secs.
This is a live version and as you can hear, not bad at all.
This is an Iron Maiden cover and I think Tim 'Ripper' Owens did a very good job, including the sustain of 12-13 seconds which is available in the original sang by Bruce Dickinson.
One of my favorite metal versions of X-mas songs: his vocals are very interesting here, especially towards the end. This song shows his versatility as a singer.
Probably my favorite song from Demolition (yes, there are songs from this album I like - give them a listen and judge for yourself).
This song is awesome and catchy...Tim is ripping everything what his awesome voice
This song is over 12 minutes long. Even though this isn't the most popular Iced Earth song, his vocal performance is remarkable.
Yngwie Malmsteen composes songs that aren't easy to sing and for that reason all Yngwie singers have been above the average, including Tim.
This is a slower and more melodic song that shows his soft side.
