Not ALTERNATIVE METAL! DUMBASSES! System of a Down is alternative metal and serj is a better vocalist than both Corey Taylor and David draiman (I like them just serj has a better range and a more unique voice)
Serj and System of a Down are the Alternative Metal band of all time. Also he has such an control over his Voice for example look at the Elect the Dead Symphony tour. That man is awesome. And he is also a great songwriter.
Serj has such a large vocal range, from the death growls and screams and his low pitched voice he did in 1998-2001 to his awesome clean singing in 2007-2010
David Michael Draiman is an American songwriter and the vocalist for the band Disturbed as well as for the band Device. David has a record of impressive and unique voice. He is a true frontman, has nothing to envy to the great vocalists of Heavy Metal, for something Vinny Paul (Pantera) has said that Draiman always remembers those early days of Rob Halford (Judas Priest). He is a metal god.
Corey Todd Taylor was born in December 8, 1973. He is an American musician, author, and actor best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the Nu-metal band Slipknot and hard rock/alternative metal band Stone Sour. His voice range is something a few can reach.
He can rap, he can growl, he can scream, he can write subliminal verses (pun intended) and can give you an eargasm
Corey likes to make metal songs with a hook, something to grab on like in Wait and Bleed and Duality
But is slipknot really alternative metal
