Bands That Go "Wuurgggh!"
Misereatur:
No one here has ever listned to Dornenreich, right?
This is what a breathy vocalist should sound like.
Cartilage Head:
Sam Beam is the god at singing softly. Every song he has written contains soft,clean vocals,and it always sounds amazing. By the way,Damnation and Still Life are probably the best Opeth albums for hearing Mike sing clean.
supatyouKERI:
I'm just not a metal person.
Never have been. Screamo, eh. Pop rock, yes. Metal, no.
I was exposed to korn at an early age. I blame my distaste for metal on that.
Bastardous Bassist:
Well, so was I, but then I actually heard metal, and said "Wait, so Korn wasn't metal, and metal doesn't suck massive +3 donkey dongs of faggotry?"
jeph:
Labeling, genre debate, etc. have little to no bearing on the music itself. They exist solely for simplifying the process of TALKING about music.
Personally, I probably wouldn't like metal if I weren't a guitarist (or drummer, probably). It's fun to play, challenging, and inventive. Much as I love the indie rock, most of it honestly isn't that tough to play, guitar-wise (notable exceptions, and this would probably make a whole other thread because there are TONS of good guitarists in indie rock today: The Joggers, Minus the Bear, Deerhoof, Don FUCKING Caballero).
The thing I like most about metal (particularly death and progressive metal bands like Opeth) is how unhip it is. It's inherently goofy and extreme and over the top, which are qualities I honestly enjoy in music. Listening to some dude shred his vocal cords while some blazing diminished-scale solo plays over blastbeats? Completely ridiculous. Also completely awesome.
I am, however, still completely pissed at Opeth for the damn guitar solo in Blackwater Park. It's the only part of that song I can't play and it is hard as HELL.[/i]
