Who has the best scream in metal?
Ok guys, the title is pretty self explanatory IMO it would be out of Corey Taylor and Max Calvera, but having said that Max has an awesome scream, but Corey can sing softly as well... Hmm pretty hard competition.
Post your favourites! |
Probably the vocalists in Wormphlegm. They have the most torturous screaming ever.
Apart from that, Chuck Schuldiner (Death) has the best scream in my books. You just have to listen to their cover of Painkiller to see that. Devin Townsend (SYL) and Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) also worth a mention. I'll probably add some more in later. Maybe I should make a thread for the best growl in metal... |
Ian Gillan

yeah, he is very good. In fact, I'm listening to some Purple at the moment. |
Tyler from Mare.. if you havent heard them, check them out.. sick scream, beautiful singing.
coming up second would be Alan Dubin from Khanate. |
Jens Kidman, Phil Anselmo, Layne Staley, Maynard James Keenan.
|
Lenzig from Cephalic Carnage
best. range. ever. |
Devin Townsend
I think he's amazing. |
Rob Halford
Dunno what his voice is like now though |
I don't like it when screaming is over-used in Metal, so I can't really comment in this thread. Although Phillip Anselmo's good.
|
If it's even considered a loose form of metal, David Draiman has a pretty good scream.
|
Devin Townsend FTW
|
Max Cavalera from Soulfly
So good |
Mikael Akerfeldt, I think I spelled that right I can't be arse to look it up.
|
Devin Townsend

The reason I started this thread is because Soulfly did a song with Corey from Slipknot called Jumpda****up and it was one absolutely awesome song, and they went together perfectly:) |

he's still good after all these years! |
I have to agree with Urban on Rob Halford. Runner up goes to Dani of Cradle of Filth

BTBAM ftw. |
1. Maynard James Keenan
2. Corey Taylor 3. Phil Anselmo 4. Layne Staley Pretty much what stone magnent said. |
None of those guys are in Metal bands though

Corey Taylor = Nu-Metal Phil Anselmo = Thrash/Stoner Metal Layne Staley = Alternative Metal :-\ |
Maynard James Keenan = Tool = maybe. A few songs are so-so. On the whole calling them anything other than alt. rock is misleading
Corey Taylor = Slipknot = Nu-"metal" isn't metal Phile Anselmo = Pantera = again arguable. Thrash at times, southern groove rock other times. Layne Staley = Alice In Chains = the only Grunge band worth a damn. Not metal. so my statement is true enough. |
Thanks for clearing that up, Stone Magnent.
Alot of people are forgetting the way metal used to be, and seldom thought of now, thanks to having to jump on the "death/black metal" train. There are only a few bands in that genre that I would consider good. My opinion of most metal now adays. Garbage. |

I like all kinds. I even like some Alice In Chains. but calling something Metal cause it sounds "heavy" or different than radio rock is misleading and wrong. by the by, Bruce Dickinson is one of my favorite vocalist of all time. Power Metal vocals > all |

This isn't completely relevant but just something that I've thought for a long time. In my mind there is grunge-punk and grunge-metal. Grunge punk would be Nirvana, Meat Puppets, Melvins, stuff like that. Grunge metal would be Soundgarden, AIC, Pearl Jam and stuff like that.

2. No, it's not. It's a misapplied term. Nu-Metal is completely grounded in hip-hop. It's missing all the major metal components. 3. I'm biased, so I hesitate to give them the label. Older stuff yes. Later stuff no. 4. You must have missed the post where I said that metal isn't just DM and BM. I understand it's very diverse. But calling AIC a metal band is simply streching it too far. And grunge (in my mind) applied more to the mindset of the bands than their actual music much of the time. The rebelling against what was the dominate music pattern of the time, the lyrics dealing with personal loss and problems, and the riff oriented heavily distorted guitar all ran very similar. I'm not a big Grunge fan, but from my experiances with it and the more popular bands i hear very diffinitive similarities. |
I think Devin Townsend wins. Why? Because he's THAT fucking awesome and seeing him with Strapping Young Lad at ozzfest was a highlight.

You failed to mention anything about Alternative Metal. |
As I said version 2 is on the way, it'll included, Alt, Tech, and Grind.
And Tool is progressive...ish. and you're saying what i said about Pantera lol it's called Nu-Metal cause some idiot attached the label. Everyone who liked ICP back in the day latched on. |
Jens Kidman
haha i hate Bruce ****inson *feels alone* |

1. All those things you mentioned are still subjective. Think it if you want. You're not wrong. But I'm not either.
2. hmmm, Thrash and Groove with a Southern flair to it...wow...should we include such a vital part of their sound in the style... 3. What race am I hating on? And Nu-Alternative is a much more appropriate title for "Nu-Metal" |
