No disrespect to ripper,but its not even close. yes he is younger and quite impressive vocally, but halford is the gold standard for metal vocalists. it took priest four years just to find some one who can mimic halford. it didnt take ac/dc,iron maiden or van halen that long to replace their original singers. It takes moer than being able to scream some high-c notes and compare your self to the metal god. HALFORD has a unique character,nuance and versatility to his voice. from anguished yelps to soul in damnation screams to demonic growls to windswept baritones, halford is and remains incomparable.
