Today it seems like "Metal" has been classified as bands with a lead singer who only screams, or at least that's the common uneducated consensus I've found while talking to kids at my school. For that reason, I really despise when bands such as Lamb of God are called metal. I guess a band that I respect enough to still consider "metal" but I still hate to death is Winger.

I'd have to agree that screaming lead vocalists to generic hard riffs does not make a great metal band...
I love epic metal... the kind that, say, bands like My Dying Bride makes... good hard, diverse sounds, interesting, compelling, darkly poetic lyrics... lots of depth for one to lose oneself into... that is metal at its beat for my ears, anyways...

Yeah, they have some kind of fetish for butchering AC/DC songs.
If you enjoyed that, you should check out their original material. The worst part comes 28 seconds in, with that awful whining sound he makes for no explicable reason. Yeah I've made up my mind, these guys are way worse than Cattle Decapitation. But they are so much worse that they're better. At least SFU are entertaining, if for unintentional reasons. Cattle Decapitation just makes me want to find the closest death metal fan in my vicinity and kick him in the scrotum. |

IMO The Day the Dead Walked is funnier.
But they're all hilarious so let's not argue about it. |
