Now you're just coming across as the forum brat, the above statement alone shows that you really don't know that much about music.

Perhaps I assessed the writing harshly, but the lyrics lack emotional substance, period. Metal standards for lyrics are pretty low. Was Dio long regarded as a metal great? Maybe, maybe not. But metal fans are a small subset of music fans. [move to a Dio thread?]
Most metal fanboys are not really that sensitive on this forum and by singling out two of the most famous vocalists in metal, it really shows just how liimited your knowledge of the genre really is.

I saw the start of this thread where you were whining on about disliking songs over 6 mins, then you didn't like very short songs either, I don't know what you were bleating on about in the middle section as I haven't read that and now you're getting your knickers in a twist over metal. There really is a time and place for everything and all you're doing now is just making yourself look dopey, just be a good boy and sit the rest of the thread out.

As for metal not really requiring great singers, I'll have to cut and paste that one, for when I need a good laugh in the future.

On this point, I think I actually have to agree with wisdom. Most of my favorite metal has very little emphasis on the vocalist or has no vocalist at all, so at least for me, the genre really doesn't require good singers.

I'm just the opposite, the majority of the metal I like does require good singers.

Well its obvious from some of the metal albums that you listen to, that the quality of singing is well down on the list of priorities.
