This should be called the 50 greatest rock/metal/punk frontmen, because this is obviously not just a metal list. In fact, ts far from it. Just saying. come on half of roadrunners bands (regardless of journalistic integrity or not) kill half of these “so called metal frontmen”.

Official Recordings don't make someone "special". I love Motorhead, but half their catalogue is crap. The early spirit of Black Metal in late 80's early 90's can be found in Dead. I've been around long enough to remember the days of tape trading, especially with my European friends back in the "day". He was already legendary due to the live shows Mayhem performed and luckily I had people who taped the shit, which I still have. Not great production, about as good as "Leipzig"-but he was the essence of BM at that time. Per leaving Morbid also set into motion the formation of the real "Entombed"-he afftected in different ways the future of two legendary bands. I love Frost, I truly LOVE Frost. They were great when I saw them with Anthrax many moons ago. I think Tom G is right where he should be. No Araya?

Dio over Ozzy? Granted I think Ozzy is way overrated, and possibly the biggest metal sell-out of all time, but still....................wow. And the fact that Mikael Akerfeldt isn't on the list, let alone in the top half, is a travesty. And if Phil from Pantera is on there, then so should Rob Flynn from Machine Head. And Tom Araya should be on there instead of Kerry King (sings and plays bass as opposed to plays one of the two guitars and has badass bald head tatoos). And why in the name of all that's unholy would you put Dead on the list? And please, is Venom being represented as some sort of sick, sadistic joke (I almost stabbed my eyeballs when I saw it)?? And is Aerosmith metal? No. And is Van Halen Metal? No (well, the person is). Twisted Sister sucked. Sebastian Bach sucked. Whitesnake did and will forever suck. Henry Rollins is punk. James Hetfield should be #2. Where's Max Cavalera? Jesus, at this point I'd even be a little relieved to see Dave Mustaine for Christ sake. And I fucking hate Kiss, but I guess it's mandatory to put Gene on there. Now what I agreed with: -Iggy Pop. The Stooges weren't metal, but the shit he did onstage definitely was. Props. -Maynard James Keenan being middle of the pack. One of the greatest voices ever but not much of a showman onstage. -Cradle of Filth was not represented. -Poison was not represented. -Fred Durst was nowhere to be found (I'm really searching for things now) ......imo Wow. Dio over Ozzy? Granted I think Ozzy is way overrated, and possibly the biggest metal sell-out of all time, but still………………..wow.

Sure, he sings like a champ live, but overall he's certainly doesn't have the stage presence to be #3. I would have expected to see him in the 10-15 range.

Overall shit list, Ronnie ahead of Ozzy, typical "We have to be cool" cocksucking, and a bunch of obscure shit black metal, more have to be cool cocksucking. The duality is amusing, we have "We have to suck the dick of people who want popular artists regardless of genre" "We have to suck the dick of people who want obscure shitty metal" Leading to a suckass list that contradicts itself.
