Who is the number one heavy metal singer ?
I vote Bruce Dickinson
I vote Bruce Dickinson
Rob Halford defined Heavy Metal with his screeching vocal style guys!!!![]()
Rob Halford and Ronnie James Dio are two that come to mind
Well,since you took my top 3 with Bruce included,I'll add my fourth which goes back a few....Ian Gillan from Deep Purple.

Rob Halford sang in falsetto.
My band opened a show up for him when he was with Fight. I think it was at the Stone Pony in New Jersey.
All I know is that he was a bag of douche just like that asshole Rob Zombie.
Really ? Halford was a douche ? he doesnt seem like it
Male: Geoff Tate of Queensryche.
Female: Doro Pesch of Warlock.

Wow! You opened up for Fight? That's cool! Still despite your personal bad experience with Halford you cannot deny his influence on the genre. As for Rob Zombie well ever since he remade that Halloween movie he's actually had death threats from hardcore horror movie fans who attend those horror conventions and have far too much time on their hands. That might be why he's testy these days.![]()
There is no denying that he was a major influence on many metal vocalists, including Phil Anselmo (who is as cool as shit, btw).
My band opened for White Zombie back in 1993, I believe it was before their 2nd album that had Thunderkiss 65' on it. He had no reason to be an asshole, he was nothing then. I believe the Halloween remake, which I thought was pretty good, was released in 2007.
Anyway that's really cool that your band opened up for these famous Metal act but a shame you had some bad experiences with some Metal icons. I actually heard that Phil Anselmo was really moody but you say different eh? Do you have any good stories of the legendary Dimebag? 
Ah you opened for Zombie before the Halloween remake I see. Yeah I liked Halloween as well but you know how hecklers are.Anyway that's really cool that your band opened up for these famous Metal act but a shame you had some bad experiences with some Metal icons.

That would be mr. John Michael Osbourne.
What Ozzy lacks in power and technique, he makes up for with soul.
