Top 10 Best Yngwie .J. Malmsteen Vocalists
In his legendary career, Yngwie .J. Malmsteen has hired many different vocalists for his solo albums and as well has worked with several other vocalists in different projects such as Steeler and Alcatrazz which were the criminally underrated bands Malmsteen was in before he did his solo works, hell even Malmsteen himself on his more recent albums has started singing himself, so this list will comprise of all vocalists Yngwie Malmsteen has hired over the years or has sang on his albums.
Timothy S. "Ripper" Owens is an American heavy metal singer who first gained attention as the lead singer of Judas Priest, and then Iced Earth. He took the nickname "Ripper" from the Judas Priest song "The Ripper" during his time in the tribute band "British Steel". He currently performs with Beyond Fear, Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force and Charred Walls of the Damned. Tim Ripper and Mark Boals are equally good for me as singers (both have great vocal ranges and excellent vocal technique) but Tim voice is more "metal" - darker and kinda demonic at times.
Owens is one of the most underrated metal vocalists and his albums with Malmsteen are really good especially "Perpeptual Flame"
Brilliant vocal technique. I sometimes replay certain sections of his songs just to hear again and again how perfectly he hits some individual notes. Very underrated singer.
This guy sang on the albums "Trilogy" "Alchemy" and "War to End All Wars"
Joe Lynn Turner is an American singer, known for his works with hard rock/metal bands Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen and Deep Purple. My favorite Yngwie song is "Rising Force" and he sang on it (although I like the song mostly for the solos).
Sang on "Rising Force"
Jeff Scott Soto is an American rock singer of Puerto Rican descent. He is most well known for being the lead singer for the group Talisman from 1990 till the end of Talisman in 2007, the vocalist on Yngwie Malmsteen's first two albums, and the lead vocalist for Journey on their 2006–2007 tours after Steve Augeri had to leave the band because of an acute throat infection. Sang on the first 2 albums and Inspiration (a cover album)
A very powerful voice
Graham Bonnet is an English rock singer and songwriter. He has recorded and performed as a solo artist and as a member of several hard rock and heavy metal bands including Rainbow, the Michael Schenker Group, Alcatrazz, and Impellitteri. The vocalist of Alcatrazz, a band that despite being unknown is pretty historically important because it launched the career of,Malmsteen (who played on their first and best album) and Steve Vai, we have this guy to thank for making those guys more famous, he's a really good vocalist too.
One of the loudest rock/metal voices ever. His vocal technique is remarkable, too.
Sang on "Eclipse" and "Fire & Ice"
Sang on " The Seventh Sign" and "Magnum Opus"
Sang on "Facing the Animal"
Sang on "Attack! " and "Unleash the Fury"
Vocalist of Steeler, their first and only album marks the debut of Malmsteen.
