Top Ten Most Overrated Metal Singers
Ok, I'll give it to him. Ozzy's singing worked with Sabbath and his solo career. However, to be honest, his voice isn't all that great. Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die are still mediocre albums (Never Say Die sucks), and Ronnie James Dio was much better in Sabbath.
Listen to ozzy's voice makes me wanna puke its not beautiful its not pitched its not strong it has not anything. But listen to ronnie james dio's voice it so perfect you want to cry
He has one good hit song (Crazy Train) and it isn't even metal, it's more classic rock compared to other mucisians of the time like Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Black Sabbath etc. that are 100 percent better than Ozzie
Ozzy is not over rated neither is corey or dave but james I guess is
Not the most overrated but one of them
Overhated. His vocals do sound weird sometimes, but he's not bad at all. He sings fine in my opinion.
How is he overrated? Most people trash on his vocals, he is rarely praised as a vocalist.
He sounds like he's having a lisp in the chorus to Symphony of Destruction.
I honestly agree. His vocal range is great but a lot of time he tries way too hard to be all tough and badass. Sometimes his screams are good though but overall they can also sound like that. His cleans are pretty good too.
In a way he's kinda overrated, but nonetheless, he's one of my favorite singers due to how he can scream like a demon to singing very soft. Listen to Wait And Bleed and you'll see what I'm talking about - TheDarkOne_221b
My favorite singer, and an extremely versatile one at that as well. I do think Corey is a Metal singer, though I do understand why some people dislike him or call him overrated.
Corey Taylor is one of few people on this list who deserves the attention and respect they receive. He's one of the best vocalists over the past 20 years.
Not overrated. I've never seen anyone praise him or his band.
Rap Rock Rap Metal Nu Metal same thing jesus christ
More like a metal rapper.
I get your point but I wouldn't compare him with Corey. Anselmo changed his singing style in order to sound like a tough guy and this was a matter of choice. But Anselmo can also sing in a different way and I will always recommend the song 'Burnnn' from the 80s as a proof - Corey has never been able to sing like that.
Not sure if this pathetic wannabe-tough-guy loser actually thinks he can sing, or if he's aware that he sucks and is just in it for the money. He basically got famous because the guitar guy in Pantera got shot
Phil Anselmo is a racist. He's only famous because he was in Pantera. Not a good vocalist
I don't like Pantera, so I think Phil is overrated and the band is even more overrated.
James is NOT overrated. In fact, he's UNDERRATED. He doesn't get enough credit for how great he is as a songwriter and rhythm guitarist, in addition to his singing. Even if his singing has become more limited with age, he's consistently able to switch between raw, angry metal and soft beauty.
He was good in the 80s and 90s. But ever since St. Anger his voice has just gotten boring and not that great to be honest. It lacks aggression. So he instead feels the need to include stupid "yeah yeahs" in his songs.
I think he's starting to get boring after all these years. Sorry but I'm starting to lose interest in him.
This guy sucks worse than Nickelback. Metallica should've simply gave up.
Kinda overhated at times actually.
Not a metal singer.
Should be higher.
In most of Slayer's songs he sounds like he's fast talking and that's why I like only a few of Slayer's songs.
Honestly, I don't see how Slayer or Tom is in any way overrated. James Hatfield & Dave Mustaine are twice as overrated if you ask me.
He has a good voice, but when he does those unnecessary "AH AH AHS" in the middle of verses it brings his music down. I like Disturbed though
Amazing vocalist and guaranteed to be timeless in the upcoming years, but he himself admitted that Linkin Park is not Metal. Also, his voice gravitates towards Rock, Punk, Alternative and Grunge instead.
I don't think he sings metal so why pay attention to him.
He was not that great. Also, I don't think he's a metal singer.
His voice is sorta hard to get used to, especially if you're listening to Death for the first time, but he is not overrated. At least he's talented unlike Glen Benton or Chris Barnes.
I love Death, but to me, Chuck didn't create death metal. He even admitted it himself. In my opinion, Possessed are the true creators of death metal.
Deserves his praise.
Of course, there are many better vocalists than him... Most of the people just love him because of the way he looks.
Go see him at #5 on the list "Top Metal Singers". His singing style isn't even metal. By the way, do you think he sings metal? I don't. That's called overrated.
Breaking Ben is one of my favorite bands, and he sounds great on the record, but if you look up videos of them live, his voice is HORRIFIC
Since when did he do Metal?
Very boring death metal vocals
Deserves his praise he the GOAT.
I like Children of Bodom, but I'm not a fan of the monotone vocals of melodic death metal bands. Either sing properly or if you're going to growl, growl with some aggressive music. Enough said.
Not overrated.
Compared to artists like Prince and Ray Charles (different genres but same principle), Mitch had made almost zero impact in the music industry, even after his untimely death. Not only did he have extremely limited vocal range, his lows were horrible unless he was cupping the mic, especially during live performances.
Definitely overrated nowadays by scene kids due to his death. His death was unfortunate, but that doesn't change the fact that he was a godawful vocalist with zero skill or technique.
Metalcore is the only bad type of metal I know about.
Overrated, flashy excuse for a musician. The Eagles are better than this walking pile of crap.
He isn't a metal singer. Never been.
Deserves his praise, kinda underrated maybe even. Also, he's a rapper, not a singer.
Rage Against the Machine isn't nu-metal though... they're alternative metal
Yeah... I don't really like mainstream nu metal.
