Metal Karaoke

(1/3) > >>

Maedros:
Ok, so we all know about Karaoke Revolution and Sing Star, but have they ever released a karaoke game with metal bands? And I don't mean Metallica or Pantera or anything, I mean Amon Amarth, Blind Guardian, Bal Sagoth, Summoning, Einherjer, Kamelot, Stratovarious... bands like that. Hell, even toss in some Shadows Fall or Trivium or something.

Anyway, how many of you would play this? I would, definitely.

doki:
see, the problem with that is most of those games take pitch into consideration when determining score.  admittedly i haven't heard many of the bands you mention, but i should tell you that those i have heard don't "sing" so much as scream incoherant noise into a microphone.  not that that's bad to listen to, but it would kill the casual gamer's throat, and be hard to isolate individual pitches in order to score

in short, no.  too hard and probably not enough fun

but then i prefer real Kareoke with strangers as apposed to singstar with freinds

Scytale:
Metal karaoke doesn't work for two reasons

1. Most people can't do the vocals right (i.e so you don't fuck you're throat)
2. The song structure isn't well suited for karaoke, not much verse chous verse sort of stuff and long instrumental breaks. Plus 90% of the audience has no idea what you're singing.

Just do what I do get drunk at home with you're records.

"And I'll fly away
Where I dwell none can say
For into darkness fell my star
In Mordor where the shadows are"

I'm just glad to see another Summoning fan on the boards, I was beginning t othink I was the only one...





Fabio:
Imagine trying to sing converge or blood brothers....mygod..our throats will cry..

Rizzo:
I've been to a karaoke bar that had Manowar, Immortal, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Metallica, Slayer, Judas Priest, Poison and so on in the karaoke machines. It was rather awesome but my throat was destroyed in the morning.
It also had lots of industrial and punk in the machines... bizarre Koreans...
