Certain screamo bislut trolls have made this their bread & butter, looking at no-one in particular.

But hey, Situations are Irrelevant Now. Or whatever.

Sabbath, AC/DC, Van Halen, even Anthrax managed to pull it off. Sometimes, many times. Looking at those bands, it seems that having strong non-singer personalities in the band is the key. Iommi/Butler, Angus, Eddie, Scott Ian. Then you have a band like Alice In Chains, whose post-Staley output just reminds you he's dead, or when the Misfits had that other retard doing vocals. Or when Iron Maiden and Judas Priest both got terrible, gay new singers, before brining back the old ones.

I've always felt Rollins was the worst BF singer of the four, yet everyone remembers him best. Probably because he never shuts up about it.

The thing about Dio was the way he stamped his Dio template on Rainbow, then Black Sabbath. His Sabbath albums were good, but they were really more like Dio albums, as they were all Dio songs. Every Dio song is always laid out almost exactly the same, with very little deviation. Intro, verse one, chorus, verse two, chorus, brief bridge, solo, verse three, chorus, recap. It was a very successful formula. I saw Dio with Sabbath in 2007, and he was shockingly good, and still smoking like a fiend on the side of the stage during the show.

Hagar had a similar template, and most of his VH songs were kind of similar, but not as good as Dio's Sabbath stuff was. Roth was way more madcap and goofy, but he allowed for more variety, too. AC/DC had a similar quandary when Bon Scott died, but they had the good sense to pick up arguably the greatest pure screamer in rock history, and make bank before he blew his voice out. But without Scott, they lost some of that screwball energy they had, which showed up later, on their progressively dumber albums.
