Disturbed’s David Draiman recently shared his thoughts on being excluded from Billboard’s ‘The 50 Greatest Rock Lead Singers Of All Time’ list. The frontman took to Twitter and wrote that many fans have reached out to him about the situation. Draimen wrote the following:
“A lot of you have reached out to me about getting no love from Billboard on their top 50 frontmen list. That’s ok. I’ll still be out here. Doing what I do… at the highest level I can possibly do it… with, or without the recognition.”
The list consists of names such as Dave Grohl, Stevie Nicks, Freddie Mercury, and Hayley Williams, with Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones topping the list.
Draiman placed 42nd on Hit Parader’s ‘Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time‘ list in 2006 and 8th on Revolver’s ‘10 Best Nu-Metal Vocalists of All Time‘ in 2021.

That’s ok. 🤷🏼♂️
I’ll still be out here.
Doing what I do…at the highest level I can possibly do it…with, or without the recognition.
