Singing > Screaming/Growling?

[BrainArt]

Rammstein, Till Lindemann doesn't growl, he just has an extremely deep voice when he sings.

Dream Theater, Symphony X, Jag Panzer, Firewind, Queensrÿche.

 

[Arteriorrhexis]

Actually... Architects does a great job both singing and screaming.

I would like the screaming style more if it leaned more toward being discernible and melodic, maybe something like Jon Oliva's style:

Don't forget Zak-era Savatage. What I always liked about him was a really deep, not thin at all, voice in power metal. Also, Criss Oliva was a fucking god on guitar. Every kid has their EVH or Dimebag moments, mine was this guy.

Armored Saint a good mention as well, Bush has a killer voice.... or how about Chuck Billy? The more I think about it, this thread is gay. Go listen to more metal, OP.

 

[Scar Symmetry]

I'm into both.

I love the guttural vocals of Earl Ruwell (Into The Moat) but then I also love the crooning of Eric Kalsbeek (Textures).

in fact, most of my favourite bands have both, Opeth, Scar Symmetry, Textures, Sikth and Strapping Young Lad as examples.

Singing is not metal.

Say that to the guys from Dream Theatre

(that was a poke at the current crop of lame metalheads, not my actual viewpoint)

For a long time, LaBrie couldn't sing, much less any harsher vocals.

And it's "er" not "re"

Nevermore...... why on a 7 string site wasn't this mentioned immediatly?

Because I'd wager that the people who actually like Warrel's vocals are a fairly small minority.

you'd be surprised, the topic has been covered before and it was discovered that there are a notable amount of people who enjoy his vocals.

 

[troyguitar]

Yep. Today's metalheads don't like real singers.

 

[Apex1rg7x]

I can say for certain that i would like Nevermore if it werent for his nasty vocals. While i appreciate singers that can sing and scream i cant stand the high pitched clean vocals.

 

[troyguitar]

How do you guys deal with cymbals or guitar solos? They're sooo high pitched

Warrel Dane is fuckin' amazing. He's got the power of Dickinson, the swoon of Tate, and yet sounds fantastically demented and evil throughout.

 

[toolsound]

I, personally, don't mind that Nevemore has clean vocals, I just don't care for the tone of Warrel's voice, or his lyrics.

I still love Nevermore, but it's mainly because of Jeff Loomis.

I know what you mean about his lyrics man, some of them are pretty atrocious

 

[Arteriorrhexis]

Yep. Today's metalheads don't like real singers.

Untrue for me, for example I love Nile yet I also love ..... Let's say Hammerfall or Kamelot.
It just goes back to what fits what.

Is that the best you can do? Everytime i have said i dont like Warrels vocals someone has always had a stupid ass comment that pretty much says my opinion doesnt matter if its not on par with theirs. His singing SUCKS in MY opinion, you can agree or disagree just dont say something stupid about cymbals and guitar solos being high pitched

 

[troyguitar]

You might not like his singing, but suck it does not.

You complained about the high pitches in particular... how is it a leap to ask why you don't mind other high pitches?

 

[Apex1rg7x]

I would think high pitch singing is a little different than a cymbal or a guitar solo. Maybe thats just me?
