bathory Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I don't expect anyone to like or have heard bobby liebling or scott wino but those guys have very street, very rock n roll voices. and in a genre that's dominated by wannabe-demons and wannabe-bruce dickinsons, it's refreshing for someone to still have the ozzy/david lee roth/lemmy attitude when it comes to singing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Deep Purple is no more metal than Rush is but Gillian IS a great vocalist. He DID sing on one Sabbath album but so did Glenn Hughes. I can't bring myself to call Seventh Star a Sabbath album. I saw them on the Born Again tour. Not my favorite album by Sabbath or Gillan. Iommi reportedly wanted Coverdale to replace Gillan. I don't think that would have worked too well though. Edited June 7, 2015 by Rick N.

Kip Winger is seriously talented and his solo stuff is really good, as is the post Seventeen winger albums. Yes, I'm defending Winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
