Inspired by the Ripper Owens/ Rob Halford debate.
Which veteran Rock/metal singers, still have the goods ??
Which fuckers should retire disgracefully ?
There's a few that immediately spring to mind.
Rob Halford has definately stayed in touch. (IMO)
I wonder if we can figure out who the oldest set of
pipes is, (Still performing) that is still delivering the goods !!
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!

Interesting, and not one that was in my head...
I guess compared to Halford, DIO, Ozzy etc etc
He is still relatively young. But I agree that the
fucker can still sing. Does he deliver live ??
Ive heard he is prone to throwing his handbag
around and not finishing gigs....
(Perhaps Im misinformed)
Paul Stanley still has a very damn good voice life.
Ronnie James Dio still has a very good voice considering his age.
Queensryche were just here ??
Fuck.. I didnt hear any promotion at all.
Last decent Rock/Metal gig I saw in Sydney was
Motley Crue (Red/White & Crue)
Never was a huge Motley fan, but fuck, that was
a great show !
And no, Im not throwing Vince Neil into this mix...
I liked that show too. Vince Neil has a horrible voice though. Listen to "On with the Show". Probably the worst vocals ever laid down.Originally posted by Panamark

Isn't that funny that the first show after the Aussie shows is the show I'm going to?

How about David Coverdale.
just listen to "LIVE...In The Still Of The Night"...
Not to bad for the old guy.
[
MKM2U, Rock out man ! Should be a good show...
Just hope Geoff doesnt have his period that night
T-T ! You got linkage to Coverdale ? I havent heard him
sing that shit live since the early 90's..
He always seemed to be on a mission to prove he
could "out plant" Robert Plant... Perhaps he might
be finally winning that one..
*However*
The imitator can never be the original !
That old Whitesnake shit with Viv Campbell was
pretty cool... Good verse riff in that song...
Relax man,
The question was who has kept their vocal abilities right?
Just sayin the guy can still sing quite well for a damn near senior citizen. I'm not sayin he's that original. Also I prefer their late 70's to very early 80's stuff. I was talking about the DVD Whitesnake: Live... in the Still of the Night. It's a full concert from 2004 with Reb Beach on guitar and Tommy Aldridge on drums. give it a listen and tell me someone his age sounding like that is not top notch

lol...
Im totally relaxed man.. Been swillin the chillin's all arvo....
Tommy Alridge is a top notch skin basher, I will check this
out !!! I have faith in my fellow rotharian's judgement.
FYI, I always thought coverdale had a good voice.
Im not convinced that Sammy didnt write some of
his lyrics though.. Fookin melted cheese at times...
Tiki-Tom, Is Voodoo Chile your favorite song by anychance... ??
That's some funny shit and I have to agree with ya on that oneOriginally posted by Panamark

especially the Tawny Kitaen era. But do look into the live disc. there's even killer versions of Deep Purple classics "Stormbringer" and "Burn" on it.

He`s still a damn fine singer but he can`t get anywhere near the high notes of "Queen of the Reich", "The Warning" or "Rage for order" era these days.

He`s in his mid 60`s and he sings better now than ever.

Yes .
The reference point for any prog collection.
If you like prog you will love them.
Roger Daltrey still can sound really good.
Gene Simmons' voice has not deteriorated over the years. It was never great, but it hasn't worsened.
Robert Plant is an example of someone who hasn't kept their vocal abilities.....can't hit the high notes or do the screams he used to.....his voice is getting weaker too....but it is too be expected....I think he damaged or completely ripped his vocal cords in the 70s.....

can he still hit all the notes he did in the 80s?Originally posted by Dave's Bitch
Dio
I don't know....I haven't heard his recent studio or live work....
i have not heard any recent studio stuff but im going by what i heard when i saw him last year,He can still hit all the notes he could do.But hey he may have changed since i saw himOriginally posted by Soul Reaper

Bruce Dickinson, he's really managed to keep his vocal range in top shape. And King Diamond, he STILL hits fucked up high notes

Did I ever hurt you in any way? If I did, then hear my apology: FUCK YOU!
I was thinkin DIO would probably feature heavily here...
I thought that dude was 100 years old, 20 years ago,
yet he still sounds the same on stage today..
If you think about it, he started singing with "ELF" in the 60's,
so he's been belting it out for 40 fookin years...
that fucker has to be in the running here....
DIO or Halford for me (so far) but I know theres someone
else out there, like Coverdale.. Im sure...
Bruce Dickenson still hits the notes. Halford live is struggling a wee bit on some of those classic screams.
One guy who still is doing well is Marc Storace of Krokus. Believe it or not, they're still putting out music.
On album, Ian Gillan sounds great but he can't hit the high notes live anymore. Anyone who heard Highway Star at the Live 8 show, knows that.
Ahh fuck it, there's only one guy who sounds as good as he used to-
LEMMY!!!! Fuck all the others!
Stay Frosty, muthas!
actually, he's been belting it out for 50 years....Originally posted by Panamark

The Vegas Kings in the late 50s....
that old bean....
Paul Rogers......
Saw him live a couple of years ago...
still has the range & the power.....
Freddie Mercury was still very good in his later years.....but because he smoked so much he couldn't hit the high notes.....
I don't think he really counts though, as he was quite young(ish) when he died.....45 or 46 years old....

I know I'm gonna catch hell for this but ol'
Axl (nut job) Rose sounds like he can still cut it judging from the recent youtube clips I've seen.
I have to agree on Halford and add Paul Stanley and Dio to the list.
Yeah right she says, maybe in your dreams!
Pat Benatar.
If anything, her voice had improved when this picture was taken @ a local amphitheater. I almost got thrown out of that show for throwing a battery operated fan into the lawn seats....this was after I offered said fan to Neil Geraldo during his audience blues solo. This story has been posted before, but not this pic. Fuck the fuck off.
Great call RUSS !
Pat Benatar. What a legend she is...
I wasnt thinking women when I started this thread, but she
definately deserves to be here, and if we are speaking chicks,
how about the Wilson sisters, Anne and Nancy ???
Both of them have lost nothing to age...
Cool story about the fan
I would fucking love Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo to tour
Australia. In fact I might hunt em down when Im next in
the US... I *MUST* see her live before she calls it a day..

Ive never seen that pic before. He really has been
around forver. He wins the longevity contest by miles,
he's fookin been rocking out longer than Mick Jagger even !!!

He was pretty awesome on Queensryche's OMC2 and Holy Diver Live. (both 2006)Originally posted by Soul Reaper

I've been into TNT for over 20 years, and Tony Harnell sounds even better than he did on Knights of the New Thunder. It's too bad he just left them (again!) Hell of a vocalist even though a bit effeminate sounding. Incredible range and power and no spring chicken these days.
Ok, those who still have it:
Dio
Bruce Dickinson
Axl Rose ( I was very surprised, but there again, it's not like he's strained it through over touring)
From what I've heard, Geof Tate still sounds good, but I'm yet to see them live on this tour.
Halford still has a great voice, although a lot of the wail has gone. But for a man in his mid 50's, he kicks a lot of ass
