David's voice can be a wild card live, he's improved a lot after the various health problems he's had, but his various health related surgeries seem to have changed his voice a bit. Since he had to cut down on drinking and everything else sinful he's been a lot more stable, when I saw him live last he was quite good. Not sure how it could be "out of my league", Ozzy's range is obviously larger than most metal singers, but using a live show from his drug-ridden days probably isn't a good way to go, Ozzy was notorious for failing to perform during that time. His voice was damaged with the ATV accident, so anything after that is of no use, you'd probably have to find him performing(sober if you could believe it) with Sabbath or the Blizzard of Ozz. He matches the song without fail I think, he has great control of what he does, but just as a singer I don't find him impressive versus other bands, there's nothing stand out aside from his given talent. I might add his voice did crack a couple of times during the performance, though that's to forgivable. I admit to liking Zakk Wylde's singing just for the crooning, I'm not being condescending to anyone who likes them, but given all the mocking of Disturbed, I do find it quite contradictory that Vince slobbers all over what are a somewhat generic post grunge band.

Oh, and about youtube links...Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbPWcLode0. Notice how Ozzy is consistently flat on "I'm going off the rails", even with the vocal effects on his mike. But I will give you this. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNf2ibB216Y.) Brent Smith's range wasn't nearly as impressive as I thought, probably due to smoking. “2, David Draiman is a vastly superior full-on singer to Brent Smith, barring grunts and all recent uses of vocalizations in music, I find it laughable that you would claim that.”

He consistently stays in the top of his register and strains out high notes with nasally, flat tone. I like the old Black Sabbath, but Ozzy has never been that great. Also, Ozzy has a terrible voice.

You're wrong on two points... 1. Most rock singers rely heavily on sound manipulation and microphones to even be heard at all. I'm being very serious. 2. Brent Smith has a far superior voice to David Draiman's. I know, Revrant, because I'm required to be critical of vocal technique. In fact, Brent Smith has a far superior voice to most "current" vocalists today ("today" being the key word here). “I have to disagree with everyone here about this singer, he just, has nothing special, his pipes aren’t as powerful as most rock(which they are) singers, his actual voice doesn’t sound different, he relies heavily on repeating methods, which works for say, Ozzy, but with such an unmemorable voice, you need to spice things up.”
