Who's The Best Screamer In Rock N Roll?

That's who I was thinking of...

 

Ian Gillan (Deep Purple, Gillan)

Roger Waters (Pink Floyd)-love those crazy animalistic screams on Careful With That Axe, Eugene

Dan McCafferty (Nazareth)-to me Axl Rose sounds like a watered down Dan.

 

James Brown & Janis Joplin

 

Oh, I think he still can scream. But can he still sing?

 

NOW you're messing with a SonofaBitch

 

Jimmy Barnes

 

Your right! I forgot about JCS.
Purchased soon after its release only because of Gillan's involvement.

 

Aw man! I forgot about Roky Erickson. Roky sends chills down my spine - awesome!!

 

Ian Gillan is worthy no doubt about it.......but

Rob Halford of Judas Priest IS the best screamer period.
Don`t matter what genre it is...he wins hands down.

Kudos for the guys that mention Eric Adams as well.......

 

Alice Cooper gave it a good shot on "Elected"

 

No love for David Byron?

Yup John in the recorded version & Paul on the video.

 

Kurt Cobain.

 

Every thread is Beatles.
Best farts...would be a Beatles thread. You name it

 

I'm going with Steven Tyler as there are a lot of screams that I can hear in my head.
Roger Daltrey, all I hear is the one from Reign O'er Me... "LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVE"

 

Seconded.

 

Rob Halford.

 

My pick (at least for slightly more recent screamers) Little Richard was the first that came to mind. "Twist and Shout" Beatles version is a pretty amazing display too,

 

Little Richard. Lennon. Yoko. David Johansen on Personality Crisis. Early Iggy.

 

ANYTHING here is turned into a Beatles thread which drives me nuts, really. I try to ignore those posts that have nothing to do with the thread's subject.

 

Won't Get Fooled Again?

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

(that's just a tiny part of it)

 

Roky Erickson. End of thread.

 

Ian Gillan. This thread can now be closed

 

See the intro to "Highway Star" for evidence of this.

But Steven Tyler is a contender in this competition.

 

Michael Kastelic.
