ok i personally love music with screaming in it. bands like the Used, Atreyu, Slipknot, Job For A Cowboy and that kind of thing. But ive had so many people tell me that these bands all have no talent at all, coz all they do is scream. thats not entirely true, coz The Used and Atreyu sing in parts of their songs, but most of their songs are predominately screaming. so what do you guys think of screaming music? do you think its talentless crap? or do you think that it takes alot of effort and voice control to sing like that? i know this kind of music isnt to everybodys taste (i even used to hate the stuff lol) but do you think theyre talentless or talented? heres a link to a screaming song incase youve been living under a rock and havnt heard any before lol Atreyu - Lipgloss And Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUrwkJyaQrE
I think its "talentless crap"...that said, I think you should listen to whatever makes you happy. So if it makes you happy, than its all for the better.
Tell me what you think this band is worth without the screaming, thank you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcdViSdoRuk
Genre Description A bit of a blanket term for many different flavors of music, Metal is most known by its loudness, distortion, intricacy and often its lyrical themes of alienation, war, the occult, myth, and other theatrical themes. Early metal acts had a lot of base in a neo-Blues sound, though as metal progressed, prog seemed to take over as a larger influence on the sound. Metal was most popular in the 1980s thanks to the glam metal scene, which had a considerable presence on the radio and MTV. Glam metal, or rock borrowing metal's instrumental sound and song structures, often introduced people into actual metal. In the 1990s and 2000s, metal still remains popular, but it's more underground -- though a form of metal, called nu-metal, had re-emerged into the mainstream, one that is a bit poppier and also borrows from rap.
why not? lol i think that was a pretty good definition there. there are lots of different kinds of metal, so to just ask what 'metal' is, is a bit hard to explain. theres black metal, death metal, prog metal, thrash metal and nu metal. they're the ones i can think of off the top of my head. heres a definition from Wiki.. not the most reliable source, but its accurate enough on this lol "Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion and fast guitar solos. The All Music Guide states that "of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality."
yeh fair enough Ash, so what do you think about screaming music? i know you like coheed and cambria and that kinda thing.. but metal? screamo?
