I love Bruce too and OLD Iron Maiden, don't get me wrong. But comparing Bruce and Rob to each other, I just don't understand how anyone can think Bruce is better. But they always say the same thing - Bruce is a better performer. Well, I guess that is a matter of opinion. I much prefer Rob's stage presence. When he walks out on stage, I don't know, something just happens to the audience. People often forget that Rob actually sings. He is so well known for his incredible screams, but they forget that he can sing! It really bugs me. When I listen to Priest, every song has a different flavor because Rob changes his voice. I never get bored listening to Priest. But once again, Priest and everyone in it is under rated and that is what pisses me off the most!

Good point HRMG, Rob has shown great variety in the way he sings, Bruce does sound pretty much the same - nothing wrong with that, but I love the variety Rob brings to the plate. LOL I was just watching another clip from the same show and Jericho is trying to say Helter Skelter by the Beatles is the first heavy metal song ever. Um, what? LMAO!

Yes Jericho is a dipshit that should stick to wrestling! I loved how everyone else said that they didn't want their lead singer jumping around like that!! No shit, but then again, if your lead guitarists play solos for 3 minutes during a song, what else are you gonna do? He'd be bored stiff if he didn't do SOMETHING during that! Rob is THE MAN and always will be. Just compare Bruce's vocals to Rob's in "The One You Love To Hate". Bruce's voice is just lost on that song compared to Rob and it isn't because they upped Rob's mike. Rob has a tone to his voice that just rises above everything else. Bruce sounds the same on every damn song he has ever sung. I've never understood how anyone could think that Bruce is a better vocalist when Rob can change his voice to match the song. Everyone talks about Rob's "screams" - yes they are INCREDIBLE, but he can SING anything and everything! Bruce can not. And let's not even talk about song writing.... Rob is THE METAL GOD for a reason!

Ok this isn't so much pissing me off as making me roll my eyes a bit, lol. Here is a segment of That Metal Show, a little bit in to the clip they do their 2 minute throwdown of the best metal vocalis - Halford or Dickinson. Whoever this Chris Jericho dude is, he's a dick. He has a point about Dickinsons showmanship, but he only mentions his actual singing once (saying he's the most influential metal singer ever - um NO, one of, but not the). Chris Jericho is a knob, hails Rob Halford! LOL!
