Members LordThurisaz Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hope this wasn't already covered on here before, but thought this would be a great thread to start in honor of both of these awesome singers, particularly RJD. So... vote. Oh, and tell us why. EDIT: Also, if you want, list your favorite songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ferdinandstrat Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Dio has far more powerful vocals. Alice has a scarier image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Dio's a much better singer, but Alice puts on one of the greatest shows you'll ever see, so I went with both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tbdmlog Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Dio can actually sing. So......I vote Dio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the_gunslinger Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Both have fantastic sounding voices IMO, Ronnie definetly has more chops than Alice, but Alice makes up for it by chopping off his head everynight, and clever lyrics. But Alice's choices in guitar players in the last few years don't appeal to me. My favorite Alice song, best lyrics ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thinkpad20 Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Dio is in the pantheon of greatest metal singers of all time. I don't have any animosity towards AC but he's not even in shouting distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LordThurisaz Posted November 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 I thought it'd be a good comparison. Polar opposites, but still in the same 'arena'. [that arena being metal]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oddone Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Alice gets my vote. Seen him... christ I cant even count how many times. Always brings the goods. So many great albums over the years. Nice guy too apparently, my father met him and his daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LordThurisaz Posted November 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Funny thing about Alice: His comment about kvlt kiddies [black metal band members] being this snarling evil person in their booklets, but nice when they'd come up to him. He then dons a trebly, nerdy voice and goes "Mr. Cooper, can I have an autograph for my mom?" Funny thing about RJD: The calm, polite dispute between Gene and Dio about the devil horns. It's almost like a running joke. To me anyways. It's not as funny as the "Dave Mustaine vs. ..." videos, though. NOTHING is as funny as that, except maybe the stuff from the first 9 or 10 seasons of The Simpsons. EDIT: And the Beavis and Butt-Head episode "Prank Call".

Members Unstrung Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'm usually the type that doesn't give a {censored} about hype. But Dio's the real deal, he deserves the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flogger59 Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Cooper. Dio is a great singer and all, but ever since Rainbow Live his in between song banter drives up up a wall. "Allright! Awrite! Yeah,alrite!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jnurp Posted November 27, 2009 Members Share Posted November 27, 2009 Alice made some really good music, but this isnt even close. Dio is one of the greatest and most legendary SINGERS of all time, of ALL TIME...Alice isnt a singer, he is a performer and a frontman...there is a huge difference. I was never a huge fan of either, but i would tend to like Alice's 70's music a bit more than Dio's catalogue, but Dio has a ridiculously great and signature voice.
