This is why The Diamond One is the Man!

Not a single one of them "Throat Sing". Tyler is a screech in full voice and Halford is just full voice. Plant has never done it on record. Dio certainly did not. Lol Freddie Mercury singing "On Fire"...nope never heard him sing anything close. So no one on your two lists could do it, we would have heard them do it on record or in a concert ipso factso. Of course Current Steel Panther frontman can do the "throat sing" but if you notice, he cannot do the nuances that Dave Used to be able to do with it.

You honestly say Dave had a better voice than Jon Oliva?. I think Dave had a great voice, but let's not fool ourselves. You say in your previous post "Name one other singer" then go on to name one yourself. Kind of undermines the point you are trying to make, no?

Bridge I had that book , don't know where it went tho , some wife got it in a divorce or something

I think it was published out your way. Will check later. Has some great pictures.

Had to look up who Jon Oliva was. I remember Savatage.

DB, you must be pissin' mad about how big that guy got. He's 3 Wolfgangs in 1!

Technique I mentioned and then said he could not sing exactly the same way. And I love Jon Oliva on "Last Night This Week" but did not know he fronted a rock band.

I accept your apology.*

To be honest. I saw David Lee Roth as the toastmaster general of the immoral majority and the cheerleader of one big party. A lyrical and bullshit master more than a musician. Who wanted him to be a musician anyways? The rest of the band were that. Dave was the game show host and he was spot on taking that character in the Hot for Teacher video.

I'd be lying if I said that didn't nearly make me spit out my coffee. Well played Bridge

She'll be fucking livid when she sees this.

Hey, all that talent's got to fit somewhere.

Jon Oliva gets a free pass - on EVERYTHING.

Can you name me ONE other person that can write about a melancholic song about a grinning monkey in New York? No, you can't. The concept is just way too fucking ridiculous to be anything other than a vaudevillian comedy. Yet he did it.

Of course, there's also the small fact that he was almost single-handedly keeping not one, but two bands afloat with his amazing songwriting, but that's just peanuts compared to the monkey business.

Cheers!

If you look closely, you can see the markings of his y fronts, on that picture.

All due respect...but I don't want to look that close....

On the subject of Jon's weight

He has a good 30 years on Wolf, It would be a hell of a lot harder for Jon to slim down than for Wolf. Not at all a case of just eating clean and hitting the gym, that could potentially do more damage to Jon than good. He would need a very carefully planned diet and exercise routine to avoid putting strain on his heart.

Bullshit. Hypocrite!

Of course. There are lots of people who fit that bill. It's not necessarily a case of letting yourself go. It's like Cartman said, "I'm not fat. I'm big boned!" Anyone see Matthew Sweet lately? He's tripled in size. Being naturally large, thanks to your parents and your parents parents and so on, is something you don't just work off once. You've got to keep at it for forever. Certainly no easy task.

David Lee Roth is the Pete Rose of music. Well, was.

I'll say this though, I believe if Jon (or Wolf) really wanted to lose the weight he absolutely could. I honestly believe with the right mind set and motivation there is nothing you can't do with your body.
