Best male vocals

yeah serj is good...but only for nu-metal vox.

death vox - mikael (opeth), aaron (my dying bride) and even though he did nt keep them long vinny (anathema)...i love his vocals on the silent enigma

black metal vox (screams) - ihsahn (emperor), dani (cradle of filth) and shagrath (dimmu borgir)

clean vox - mikael (opeth), and aaron (MDB) but mikael is, by far, the best.
 
Serj has a very emotional singing - I wouldn't describe his voice so narrowly for nu metal - he's just CRAZY AMAZING!!
Btw you like Tiamat too?
What about the last album - I like only the 1st song.
 
what about female vocalists?

Anyway, i like Vinny's vocals, i think they're great!

Pink Floyd vocals are great too!

Porcupine Tree's vocalist is good too (I'm sorry, but i don't no the names of the most, *shameonme*)

Sven Friedrich (Ex- Dreadful Shadows, now Zeraphine): Unbelievable deepness in his voice. Check 'em out.

maybe Kurt Cobain to be mentioned(in his own way of singing).

more i can't think about at the momentmoment.
 
Uhmmmmm...

All nu-metalsingers (Fred Durst, Serj, the asshole in Linkin Park)

Almost all powermetal band singers (a few exceptions)
 
Yeah Serj from S.O.A.D is Amazing
lots of amazing singers tho :
Mike Patton
Jeff Buckley
Layne Staley (R.I.P)
Keith Caputo...

If you're looking for the most ugly/frightening death metal vox straight from the bowels , listen to John Gallagher from Dying Fetus :OMG:

No, I didn´t. Their political standpoint is not really what I would call ok. They also said too much shit in the interviews I read. As long as nothing changes it´s not my intention to buy one of their CDs.
 
Someone has allready mentioned my all time favourite Mike Patton.
He's been quite a big influence for this one Serj. I don't think there's anything that Serj does, that Patton couldn't do.

Another fave of mine is Jens Kidman from Meshuggah. Pretty raw scream this guy has!
Just listen to the Jocke Skog remix of Meshuggahs Future Breed Machine. That's heavy and twisted!:headbang:
