This is shockingly accurate. I don't feel like 100% of the arrangement is how they would do it, but pretty darn close! And it doesn't feel "tacky" as some other covers of "band song in the style of another band" can be. Excellent work!

There is no way you can sound that accurate to Serj and Daron. I'm in complete disbelief. If we ever need a replacement for vocals on either of the two you could absolutely fill in without many people noticing. Like you could just straight up be Scars on Broadway for the most part and pass it off. You nailed the Hypnotize/Mezmerize Serj vocal motifs it's just crazy. Absolutely forwarding this to all my friends.

Your SERJ is fantastic - immediate follow. He's one of those singers whose voice has so many sub-characters, and it's hard enough to just one of those right [Chris Cornell and Tom Waits strike me as similar sort of singers who have a lot of different vocal characters they do].

Hi Andre, I had already heard you emulate the voice of Matthew Bellamy in a way that sounds incredibly like him. Here, you emulate those two other very different and very distinct voices and again you get so incredibly close to sounding like Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian. While doing so, you even appear to include their accent in terms of pronunciation. That is huge! So for me, you do not 'only' stand out as an instrumentalist, but also as a vocalist. You have my highest admiration for that.
