Rob Halford VS. Bruce Dickinson

woah! clash of the TITANS!!!!!!! the metal god vs. the air raid siren
do people like the raspy vocal style of dickinson on albums such as no prayer for the dying and fear of the dark and if not, would they consider halfords work with the bands fight and 2wo to be any good?

For me it will always be dickinson number 1! this is beacuse we've seen him with and without maiden and his standard is always impecable... halford on the other hand who is great with priest and his own band halford, did not earn my respect with fight or 2wo...

Superb singers though- the best we'll ever hear save a few exceptions!

I mean Rob can't sing for example Fear of the dark as Bruce sings it. And at the same time it won't be Painkiller sang by Bruce... Those two great vocalist make the sound of their bands unique and awesome. Rob is considered to be better because of his voice range is better than Bruce's)) BUT personally for me Bruce is better... I mean as frontman and a singer certainly... dunno. Iron Maiden has always been my favorite band and that's why Bruce is more related to me))
However, they are both TITANS!!

Stay metal, dudes)) \m/; ▶ Reply to This

I recently watched Maiden's Somewhere Back in Time tour and to me, it sounded like Bruce's voice is getting a little...raspy. He can't hit some of those high notes anymore, yet Rob can still dish it out like it was 1980 (release of British Steel); ▶ Reply to This
