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.

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.

It reminds me of a cheap rendition of, say, something like WWF/WWE - you know, the over-the-top wrestling stuff. Some of that stuff is awesome, I mean, I'm not a fan, but I appreciate the talent. And there are these peeps who are ga-ga over that kind of sensationalist wrestling, and they're the ones who set up the ring in their local neighborhood park, put on masks, and try to 'be' something they're not. First off, rarely are they talented, but since they've got the size and girth, they 'attempt' to be pro fake wrestlers. And it spins into the vortex of idiocy. A lot of this music is just that to me, and part of me gets it - it's the farthest end of that particular musical spectrum, and people dig extremes, and along with the extremes comes this sense of community, so people bond together because they all dig this horrible stuff knowing it represents something that's pretty niche in its fan base. Fair enough. But talent wise, horseshit. I mean, even the videos are done with flicker film to time the 'live' playing to the song, because once again, it's pure hell trying to play in that time. And aside from hugely dropped tunings and 4 note (if yer lucky) bass lines, it's basically the ABC's of making something come out of your speakers. Yay. I prefer graduate music to kindergarten music - but that's just me.

Cookie Monster Music. I'm going to have to use that from here on in... Perfect.

Could you post some videos of the bands you speak of? You described none of the bands that I like that have "Cookie Monster" Vocals.
BTW That's a very old description, I read an interview with Kerry King over 10 years ago where he used that description.

Yeah, descriptions should be updated on an ongoing basis. It pisses me off when I hear of water being "wet" or fire being "hot"...so outdated

I only consider "Wet" and "Hot" to be terms to be used regarding amp tone and women. You can tell I'm a guitar player.

Skillet's Hero, I like Cheese but come freakin on! This is as bad as Buck Cherry!

There's shitloads of this crap on the net... If ya need a hand finding it, lemme know - I could probably fill the screen with this type of non-musical crap but these three oughta drive the message home. The last link of Morbid Angel is particularly exemplary in what I'm describing. Utter horseshit.

Peace,
