Whenever I hear him sing I have this overpowering urge to beat him up and take his lunch money.

While not an "amazing" voice, the guy from Steelheart could hit these sick, sick high octaves. When I saw them in concert, I thought my ears were going to bleed...

He did the vocals for Rock Star too, IIRC.

Three good pics here, but Robin singing Metal? Rock, or course he is good. I saw Cheap Trick play an acoustic set and his voice was top notch!

And yes, Anselmo is very underrated because people only think of the throaty, grinding style but he can really sing in the "traditional" sense as well.

Here are a few similar threads:

Lemmy is God, but I wouldn't consider him having a great singing voice. With that said, I don't think you have to have a great voice to be really damn good and successful, like Lemmy.

Partied with Ian and a stripper on the porch of an English pub. Didn't know who he was until 20 minutes or so. True story.

Mike Tramp was in White Lion. Can't remember the singer's name from Steelheart, but he was good. I was 16-17 and saw them twice...one night held the guitarist's beer while he signed stuff by the bus.
