Top 10 Nu-Metal Singers
1: Chester Bennington
2: Corey Taylor
3: Chad Gray
What is Amy Lee doing up there? I cringed so hard reading the comments of people claiming she's the best nu metal vocalist.
I don't even like the idea of calling her a NU METAL vocalist because she can't even scream or sing aggressively which is a must.
Sorry but the majority of the nu metal vocalists on this list is superior to her.
Chester in every aspect.
Chester is definitively deserving of number 1 spot without doubt, but the rest of the top 5 (in no order) should easily be Corey Taylor, M. Shadows, Matthew Tuck and perhaps either Amy Lee (who is an amazing singer by the way even though I don't listen to Evanescence all that often, Serj Tankian or Benjamin Burnley who I think is extremely underrated. Anyone who is unwilling to accept that or notice these peoples talents as well as my great and much respect to the others who are very close behind from the top 5 and who are some of my top 5-10 favorite bands clearly doesn't understand diversity and the meaning of Nu-Metal.
What is M Shadows doing up there? He is a heavy metal singer, not a nu metal singer. Corey Taylor is way better than all of the nu metal singers. He should be number 1 on the list due to his extremely aggressive and strong vocals.
Slipknot has some nu metal songs but I'd rather call them a proper metal band instead of nu metal. Their riff style differs from general metal riffs but their songs are arguably one of the heaviest modern metal songs.
Come on man this guy totally rocks... nu metal songs like duality, wait and bleed, psychosocial, before I forget etc proves that he is the best, he should be on number 1 or 2, and I chester Benington is also cool... amy lee and M. Shadows sucks, they don't deserve this place
Jon's voice is amazing. He can sing metal and has a awesome deep growl, but if he wants he can sing emotionally. Not to mention the lyrics come from the heart and have a deep meaning to all the songs he writes. His scat is unbelievable and is the best I ever heard. In addition to his amazing ability to play instruments of all types, guitar, bass, drums, bagpipes, violin, harp, piano, etc. Conclusion... Jonathan Houseman Davis = Greatest Metal/Rock singer of all time.
Jonathan 'HIV' Davis was ranked #16 in top 100 metal vocalist of all time. He's the best vocalist of nu metal genres. No ones in here was ranked higher than him. I love Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stone Sour but I feel they are not good like Jonathan Davis.
She is a great. Compared to to other nu metal singers, his place is separate and unique, If whoever heard the voice of the girl, he falls in love. Because she is a miraculously ANGEL! Her lyrics and voice is so beautiful, darkness, hauntingly and charming. Amazing beauty and amazing voice. Chester Bennington's amazing singing-screaming, Corey Taylor's heavenly rap-scream singing and Amy Lee...
She is the best singer, she is the best nu metal singer, there is no doubt about it!
Amy Lee is #1? How is Chester Bennington number 1? Amy is the best. Chester is very great but Amy is very awesome.
I love you Amy, you're is #1,
Amy and Evanescence forever!
Its pretty bad when the best singer listed isn't even nu metal... the list should be Serj, Corey, and Jon D... you no actually nu metal singers... M. Shadows isn't in a nu metal band. Amy lee's band is emo. Three Days Grace is more hard rock. Bullet for my valentine are metalcore... David Draiman is hard rock/metal and Chester is in a emo sellout band now
His voice is so unique. He does great on both his solo career and System of a Down. I don't know anyone else who can make those growling noises on just a microphone. He did it amazingly at Rock in Rio about two years ago. Serj Tankian is amazing ans System of a Down is amazing
I have been listening to Nu Metal, Metal-core, and Heavy Metal since I was about 7 years old and out of all the bands and vocalists I listened to, I liked David Draiman from Disturbed+Device the best. I don't fully understand why Amy Lee and Linkin Park are here; because while they did do some Nu Metal songs, they can't be classified as Nu Metal singers or bands when most of their songs are classified under Hard Rock and Alternative Rock. If we were talking about Heavy Metal vocalists and bands, then I would choose Austin Carlile from Of Mice And Men 100%. I believe that Austin Carlile is possibly the best Heavy Metal vocalist in the 21st century.
Chino Moreno has a great voice that can fit into all kinds of songs that they have composed. In the course of their long standing career, the has proven that he can scream, rap, sing melodically, sing softly for more mellow or acoustic songs, and has even contributed to a large number of other songs in collaboration with other artists of varying genres. Besides, he is one of the few vocalists who are still in the same band that is considered relevant in the industry and in the younger generation today.
He has A. Very distinct voice and every sound that comes out of his mouth is perfect. I am a big fan of several of the singers on this list but Amy Lee doesn't deserves to be on any list of professional merit. She may be super talented but she is definitely super childish. I've not listened to her since the release of Sober.
Read Mudvayne lyrics, you will see Chad Grey is the most talented and consistent artist this century. Along side David Draiman that is.
Chad Gray is the best Nu Metal singer and seriously one of the best metal vocalists! Its really ridicilous what A7X, Evansescense, Bullet For My Valentine standing before Mudvayne.
Wage my war internal. Save my soul, eternal.
A fiercing death growl of Ben should scare the crap out of Chester bennington that really sounds like a chicken scream.Ben burnley's voice could melt your heart until your knees weaken, or a death growl that chills the spines and breaks the irony...he is the best singer and no one can beat his growl...
Oh come on, he is a1.93m tall guy with a perfect voice. He deserves to be in top. Ben burnley s the best nu-metal singer dude so, in my opinion he is the best
Brilliant singer! Love his voice, it's really unforgettable!
He's annoyingly-beautiful sings, raps and screams... Wow man this guy is awesome.
Fred Durst is the best nu metal singer. He is should be number 1. Matt Shadows and Matt Tuck is not nu metal, Amy Lee is great singer but she's bands is emo. But Fred Durst is kick ass, he's raps is amazing. My opinion Fred is aweome and underrated vocalist.
,22? Fred Durst kick ass.. He is the best nu metal singer and rapper. That should be #1?
Come on Everyone, vote more For Fred. I do not understand, why does everyone hated Fred? He is amazing.
Mike Shinoda is 37? Come on he is should be number 1 with Chester! Vote people? , please!
Mike is the best rapper!
He is the best nu metal singer, rapper with Chester Bennington, Linkin Park Rocks!
Mike is The best. Why Chester is number 1 without Mike?
Adam is a boss hands down, he is amazing him and ben burnley should be no1 and no2 with ben in front and him in close second
The one reason why Bullet For My Valentine is so popular. The Coolest Singer Ever. Its One of the all reasons (there are many reasons) that Bullet For My Valentine is at the top of the metalcore bands.
