Point taken... I chose him because I've seen him live... and he's one hell of a live performer... and he sounds just as good live as he does in the studio. He's got a great vocal range and a versatile style. I could have chosen Chris Cornell... but I like the image of Brent Smith a little better... Plus Chris is a little more subtle during the live performances. Matter of opinion though I guess... all this is... I personally don't like Iron Maiden.. so we're from two different places. I respect them as artists but I don't own a single one of there albums... nor do I have a single song by them in my music library of 5,000 + songs... I have seen them live and still don't care much for them.
