VOCALIST POLL: Ozzy Osbourne Vs. Blaze Bayley Vs. Adrian Smith

[Diesel 11]

IT'S A MATCHUP OF TITANS!

That's right, I'm pitting three iconic vocalists against each other to see which one is the favorite among MaidenFans!


Ozzy Osbourne
The prince of darkness himself, who was the first frontman of Black Sabbath and later went on to have an impactful solo career.


Blaze Bayley
The Wolfsbane frontman who helmed Iron Maiden during the '90s and then began a steadfast and underappreciated solo career.


Adrian Smith
Perhaps Iron Maiden's most beloved vocalist, known for his work on their seminal cover of the song "Reach Out". Also heralded for his work with A.S.A.P. and Smith/Kozen.

Three vocalists, one poll - you decide the outcome!
And tell us why you voted the way you did & your thoughts on all three legends!

What are we even doing here?

Adrian Smith invented hard rock and metal singing. The other two are but fledgling students at his feet.

Your bias is showing. Ozzy Osbourne could sing me to sleep in a wicker basket made out of souls of hardened criminals and I would still be bowing before the pince-nez of darkness.

This is supposed to be a serious poll. Please take it seriously and be serious about it.

I remember the days of listening to Ozzy's Boneyard on SiriusXM. There was no Adrian Smith. You lying kite.

 

[LooseCannon]

Can't vote for anyone other than Adrian Smith.

 

[Azas]

Adrian's singing on Reach Out is impeccable.

 

[Diesel 11]

Can't vote for anyone other than Adrian Smith.

Once upon a time Canadians wrote a whole song about Free Will. Not anymore. Not in Trump's America. Sad.

Two words: Adrian

 

[Yax]

I'm not sure Adrian is the best guitarist out of the bunch.

Spoiler

Kidding.

 

[Perun]

Ya know, a poll very similar to this was how the whole Church of H thing got started in the first place.

 

[Spaldy]

I vote for Steve Harris. The man has the voice of an angel.

An angel with ruptured vocal cords is indeed still an angel.

Fake af, this was clearly taken on The Book of Souls Tour, during which Different World was not played during which.

The heavenly choir that is 'arry's voice was more likely singing DEAF OR GLORY
