He's the closest thing to Rob in his younger years. NO ONE can replace Rob, but Ripper did do a good job. I Don't think singing Priest is Ripper's best forte but he did do a decent job. Now he's free to be himself. Great for him.

Rob, at his age, outsings and outclasses Ripper.
I wish Tim all the luck in the world on his own endevers. I know he will do very well for himself.

Even ppl who havent even heard a Tim Owens song will still say tht he sucks, i hate ppl like tht. Tim was good. but in the end Rob Halford has a better range and is just a better vocalist...and songwriter. lol |

| Considering Halford is the best metal singer of all-time, this is a pretty one-sided question. |

| Halford 100% Halford is the one, the only original screamer. Owens has a voice ill give him that he can scream, but his scream is just to shrill. Rubs me the wrong way. Rob Halford has always been music to the ears. |

Ripper was an amazing vocalist and frontman and had a helluvalotta talent, ive seen him once in concert, but Halford simply has more range and more charisma, and JP had way more great songs with Halford than Ripper, altho riper had some great songs....my question is who is better in Iron Maiden....
Paul Di'anno....
Bruce Dickinson...
or Blaze Bayley.

| Halford. No question. Ripper was great with the band, and it was great to see the band keep going without Rob, but Rob is the man for the job. I'm pretty sure Tim even said that years ago. |
