Most of the newer metal has great instrumentation....w/crappy vocalization. I wish the cds were dual sided...one w/vocals and the other w/out. I know what side I'd be listening too.

That cookie monster stuff was cool once upon a time..
:no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: That is for people that have no vocal talent.

Um, slight generalization here.... If you don't believe me, go listen to Christian Älvestam.

sO...

I guess I'm old or something. What's the pretty girls face doing with a big slash in her throat? I just don't get why heavy music can't be "heavy" without some sexual perversion or suicide or drinking f'n blood or screwing a goat.... etc ... on and on

Why?

Why can't it be positive? OR at least NOT so negative... :confused:

There has been non "heavy" music with those themes before the more extreme stuff started in the 80s. Hell, country music has a lot of the themes you just listed. Also, there is positive metal. You just need to know where to look. ;)

I like Metal... Just not that "Cookie Monster" growly GAY crap!
Iced Earth, Pantera... Lotsa good stuff out there!

Keith check out Opeth. There's a bit of growly stuff, but then he turns around with some of the most beautiful, clean vocals you've ever heard. They're kind of like a metal pink floyd gone progressive. Lots of mellow moments.

The last two CDs (Watershed and Ghost Reveries) have much more clean singing vs. growly stuff.

Just amazingly orchestrated songs!

Listen to this song...

For whoever said guys who do growling vocals have no talent, this proves you dead wrong. Let's see you go from growls to majestic clean vocals at the drop of a hat like this guy.
 
Cool!!

Ya... I'm NOT at all talking about "all" Metal .
Just that shit like growling all thru the whole frig'n song.
When Gary comes to my place, I see him play these fast rythyms and it blows my mind! Very intricate and F A S T !! He's got this style mastered!!! Holy smokes, he's good!

I can solo all over the place but couldn't play like he does to save my life !!! :confused:

So... I do respect what Metal players do!!

I'd recomend "Awaken the Guardian" by Fates Warning. Singer sounds like Bruce Dickinson an octave higher :lol: :LOL: Music is like Maiden meets Metallica with some prog. The vocal melodies are out of this world.

The other prog metal band you may have heard is Symphony X. Like Dream Theater on speed :lol: :LOL:

Ha hA, thanks man. I haven't mastered anything but I try ;)
Also when I bring the amp back I absolutely need access to your tube tester. My Mesa 400 died spectacularly recently and took out a couple El34s. I also had Sylvania 6L6s in there and while they look OK, I need to know how they measure up !

When I come over to pick up my amp soon I'll bring over a couple of those CDs I mentioned and you can quickly burn them. Then if you really like them you should buy them !

It's in the room, Bro!
Bring it with ya, and we'll check all of the tubes out!

I personally love vocals like Halford,Dickenson,Warrell Dane etc, but still love the cookie monster stuff. George Fischer no talent? Emo for tough guys? Chuck Sculdner tough guy?
Why cant we all just get along? :confused:
