Eric together with Dio, is the greatest frontman ever. Insanly skilled singer, very emotional in his performance and gets the crowd going every time. He was born for this. And seems like a really nice guy too, humble, respectful and always with a smile on his face. Talk about role model. Eric is the man. I bow.

[@pliniomarquesjunior4039]

Eric together with Dickinson is better

[@flonkplonk1649]

Eric, Gillan, Dio, Halford..

[@stathiskratimenos7249]

Eric Adams is the best singer of Heavy Metal!!!I Love Manowar and Eric!!!You are Kings of Metal!!!Hail and Kill from Greece!!!

[@slm25]

Eric voice is absulute power he was made for heavy metal. Seeing him singing live and how he moves on stage is unique and so powerful.

[@flonkplonk1649]

I don't think he's a regular human.. his singing is godlike!

[@PatRick-bg4dm]

very likeable and down-to-earth guy. His voice has accompanied me for 30 years. Thank you brother \m/

[@zozwoz]

Absolutely love this guy. He's my personal favourite voice. I can listen to him over and over. I once recorded all of his screams in the songs onto one cassette. Just the screams and I would just sit and listen to the notes he was hitting. The nuances. That's what I loved. The nuances between the pitches and variations. Voices change with time, but as long as you keep the nuances and grow and master your changing voice, you can still be magical.

[@martinkuliza]

[@NWOBHM]

Obrigado Joey DeMaio por destruir o Manowar aos longos dos anos e fazer com que os fãs sejam vistos hoje como COMPLETOS BABACAS, Manowar só construiu o que construiu graças ao Eric , Scott e ao Ross!!!

[@PandaInforma]

Manowar sempre foi top man, nem tanto no lord of steel.
