Is Chester Bennington the best vocalist screamer?

[Daverisimo]

No. That would be Mike Patton.



Bonus points for also being able to sing fucking opera.

Kyo from Dir En Grey gets an honorable mention.



He's close, but since he can't seem to keep from constantly damaging his voice, I have to give it to Patton.

 

[Osculater]

Chino moreno is #1

What about China Morena?

 

[Jesus X]

Chester was in the highest tiers of screamers, but M.Shadows has him... and everyone else... beat.



Lol, Curt Cobain? No.

Quoted for truth

Wood.

 

[Osculater]

Wood.

 

[Bob Gray]

The scream at 42 seconds is like some sort of alien. HR was a crazy vocalist.

 

[Dr Curtis Love]

Not enough love for Mike Patton in here.

 

[Thrawn33]

Not enough love for Mike Patton in here.

I gotcha...

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

Chad Gray and Maynard James Keenan are my picks even if Keenan is sort of in a category of his own.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Chino moreno is #1

This.

 

[Belaya Smert]

Camillo Wong Moreno for the win

 

[Spam On Rye]

 

[Lord_Impaler]

Maynard

 

[RoastBeast]

I wonder how David Coverdale would do against the top screaming vocalists? Dude had crazy range.

Needs double bass drums and hyper-blast beats

 

[Two Crows]

Don't forget to add Wayne Static:

 

[Plissken]

Not even close, no offense to Chester or his fans but he always sounded like a suburban teenage kid screaming that his parents don't understand him.

 

[PeterGriffin]

I don't know most of the artists mentioned here, and I doubt he's the best, but David Draiman from Disturbed deserves at least an honourable mention.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

No. That would be Mike Patton.

Patton is the most diverse vocalist in rock music I reckon, Corey Taylor is close too.

My personal choice is John Tardy from Obituary, I saw them in January and he's still getting it done!

Mike Patton ?
