I love Ronnie James Dio. He is my all time favorite metal lead vocalist. So dramatic and emotional.Agree. Dio is close imo.I'd give him #1 if forced to pick one. He is unique. The vibrato thing adds such a demented twist. Almost like some kind of voodoo thing. I always saw Layne Staley as biting heavily from Bruce. And live it seems that he's always been remarkably consistent. Something far easier said than done considering the speed of the music, the mouthfuls some of those lyrics are, and then the breathing required with the added degree of difficulty of him running around like the tazmanian devil. He's one of a kind and I can't think of anybody "better."Revelations in its live form absolutely tops for me..
Bruce kills it on the vocals. Top 5 metal vocalists IMO
Don't Talk To Strangers....pure metal bliss.
