David Lee Roth

I'm not a big fan of Steve's voice even though he is something of a local guy, I always thought Joe Perry carried that band.

I do think that David Lee doesn't get enough credit in many circles for his work with Van Halen 1.0.

Roth is ok, I saw him in 86 whe he was on his Eat em and Smile tour. Vai made his guitar scream, he could fucking play

Between Black Sabbath and his solo albums, he's #1 in my book. His voice is perfection for rock and metal. The sheer volume of masterpieces speaks for itself.

David Lee Roth may not be the greatest singer of all time, but he was the best front man of all time.

I dunno about rock, and a great singer isn't my only criteria....but the best frontmen in my lifetime, IMO are, in no particular order..

John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne

Robert Nesta Marley

Michael Allan "Mike" Patton

I love dudes that can wail tho, like Halford, Dio, en sech, but then are are folks that just command your attention, whether their chops are up to par or not. I mean, it's not necessarily rock, but Marley dominated the stage....a unique performer all around.

I strongly feel the best vocalist of my generation is Mike Patton.

Have you ever met anyone that did not like Journey?



You'd have to be a soulless demon...

Me.......And I guess I`m a soulless demon......Journey is a band for pretty boys who think they are a ladies man........

Best vocalist of all-time is Lane Staley,the guy from Volbeat and lead sing from Cinderella.(forgot their names)
