I decided to finally watch this video, and when the keyboard part cut in, I literally did a face palm. Like, without even thinking about it.headlessdeadguy":2ml8zz6q said:I can't believe this has been left out.
Dunno how old you are, but I grew up with this garbage. For a long time, I was trying really hard to understand what the hell people saw in it and why this kind of "vocals" was worth a crap. But nothing is good about it. It's just awful.Ventura":fzlmekg0 said:JKD":fzlmekg0 said:Almost anything and everything with cookie monster vocals....
Jayzeus - that's a PERFECT way to describe it!! I was going through this list, quietly sobbing, sometimes laughing hysterically, sometimes shouting at my Mac screen, sometimes quickly stopping the song before it poisoned my ears, but all the while, I was trying to find a way of describing that newer forte of metal in which the singer or singers simply grunt, growl, and gurgle-scream incomprehensible fucking nonsense into the mic. I mean, there was a thread a while back about Korn being a bunch of neanderthals, but for chrissakes, this new shit takes the cake. It makes me wanna 'unplug' the band. Pull the cables out of the gear. Shut 'em down. It's retarded. And ya ya, evolution of music, different strokes for different folks, but IMHO, this shit is just crap - I try to "remove" the singers poor excuse for a voice, and then listen to the music... Is there talent? Is there something good going on here?? No. Typically, it's a bent timing to try and "be different" culled with some retarded modal exploits with DSP to the nines, and a drummer who's obviously listening to a tape clicker in the ear goggles because no one could keep time in such a vomit pool of noise. And they're all there - taking themselves all serious and shit - long hair, hunched over in that typically one-foot-forward kyphotic stance, grasping the mic with both hands, biceps extended, gurgling away into it some asinine "we think this might be important" bunk or better yet, some cosmic/sci-fi fantastical shit about druids and stars and solemn moons and angels without eye sockets.
Makes me wanna kick these guys in the leg. Get a job. Ponce.

I think the biggest problem with it I have is how fake it is. When in life would anyone EVER try to sound like that?! Phil Anselmo NOLA screaming, sure - that's awesome - but that low grunting BS? I look at it as their way of saying they've got a lousy voice.
Yeah, maybe you're right. I mean, I think after being around it for a while I get it, but I know it's not for me. I feel like it's an image meant to appeal to other people more than something for the people writing it. My opinion is that the best musicians write music for themselves because it's what they feel, and I've got a very difficult time believing that to be the case for those kind of vocals. I just don't buy it.headlessdeadguy":1ij31vgi said:Well I don't think we need to start that debate. You either get it or you don't. I get it, you don't. Nuff said.
