Because I don't know **** about Metal...
 

Alright, you're going to have to watch a terrible for this to make any sense. Sorry.



Alright, obviously the polka portion had nothing to do with this. But the refrain, the music is the ****ing ****. I want music like that with maybe a little more lead guitar. But what I hate about Metal most times is the cookie monster vocals. Oddly enough, this was pretty damn good because as bad as she sings, its far far better than most **** on the market right now.

Any help is appreciated.

That song is pretty hilarious. :laughing: What a clusterfuck.

Sorry I am no help.

In the world of music I am an all-seeing watcher, hiding in the shadows with absolutely no taste or discretion.

Thanks for reading it at least.

Slayer.

Slayer? Slayer? Are you being a **** or is that a real suggestion?

That was a decent video..

A bit of both. What's wrong with them?

I think Kid Rock might be what you're looking for Big3.

Well I mentioned that I'm really not looking for indecipherable tempertantrums. Theres nothing wrong with Slayer, but they certainly don't fit here.

How's about I stab your face?

I will actually be on the south shore this weekend so it's a possibility.

Okay then, maybe try:

Manowar
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Overkill
Queensryche
Quiet Riot
Black Sabbath
Ozzy Osbourne
Dio
Rainbow
King Diamond
Riot
Accept
Anvil
Thin Lizzy
Anthrax
Metallica
Symphony X
Dream Theater

Well I don't live there any more. I'm up in Waltham, but unfortunately i'm on Long Island for a wedding this weekend...I'll miss you.

I was serious, you're just going to ignore me?
Give some of those bands a listen.

Most of the earlier stuff contains no evil growl vocals.

^^ Very cool graphic... :thumb:

you'll probably really like Kittie

Maybe you can stab me in the face as I drive by.

wow, that shit was pretty horrible!

The Kesha remix? hahahahahahaa

Yeah, well the polka goes with her terrible ass dancing. High marks from me though.

Also, Kittie, if its the same kittie I remember is bordering on nu-metal badness.


I'm looking for Arch Enemy's Pilgrim, sung by Maynard. Is there a band with that music and that voice (and annunciation)?

If there is one thing I am sure of it's that if you have a specific sound that you want, there is probably a band out there to cover it. Although I'm not really huge into metal either, so I really can't help.

Korpiklaani?

Well he didn't specify on what he wanted. He said no cookie monster vocals with more lead guitar...um that leaves a lot of bands.

Honestly it sounds like most mainstream alt-rock radio metal would do the trick. It's hard to say exactly what you're looking for as you seem to love and hate different parts of this song.

Oh metal fans. If they aren't telling you how explitive awesome their favorite bands are they aren't saying anything.

You're the one who asked for suggestions, if you already know what all Metal Fans are like, why'd you ask?

I didn't. =D

I sort of knew this would just poke the beehive, so to speak.

My point is, if you came into any forum of music I listen to I'd be able to listen to something and say "yeah you might try this."

Wow Big3, still have your MB erection and posting regularly

Mad Props

In case you need a gentle handjob of your ego; I always liked you and kind of knew that you'd never run out of intelligent things to say

I was actually going to suggest possibly Deftones. Not because they sound anything like the song in that video, they don't, but it's fairly accessible and there vocals aren't cookie monster-like.

I'm not sure if I ought to be insulted or flattered.

Sidewinder. I like you. I even like Meg-x there, but you guys are ****ing killing me.

Just as a disclaimer, I think only the mentally undeveloped listen (still) to nu-metal. I like the deftones and think they're far enough away from nu-metal to be considered good, but I want the backing band to be like...

Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom, Blind Guardian. I'd prefer not to choose some Alice-in-Chains cover acts made good.

not cookie monster =/= not metal. I just would prefer it if...

Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Dimmu Borgir

Could sing without sounding like my balls were in their throat.

YouTube - LUNA MORTIS - Forevermore (OFFICIAL VIDEO)


this may be what you're looking for

The riffing aint bad, but I can't decide what I hate more, the rapping or polka break. IMO, growling and shrieking bands are far more interesting, but if you insist on sticking to clean singing bands with heavy chops focus on post-thrash power metal influence bands like Iced Earth and Nevermore....shi_t, if you can put up with Mustaine's none technical vocals, you should love "End Game".

What say you, big3?

I can't think of anything that may meet your requirements better than Torche. Good job, Captain

Maybe you'll dig the Lord Weird Slough Feg


Or maybe just some good old fashioned Dio

It comes from the movie Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, an excellent documentary.

Its vocals remind me of Atreyu. And the guitar is nice, but if I'm looking for this kind of music I'll go with Clutch.

I'm litterally looking for the same music from some of the bigger metal bands, i just want to be able to hear what their saying. A lot of the vocals sound like early Korn and that "rawrrarwrrawr" ****.

It seems to me that if you're going to have such articulate guitar leads, soaring over the industrialized chug o your rhytham section, why can't you have you vocalist soar as well, rather than chug along with your grinding, punching rhythams?

by the way, the drums in this Torche song were brilliant. Very tribal sound with their reverberation.

what!!!!!! it's fine it was more or less a miss, but are we familiar with the same atreyu?



edit: actually i heard a different song that i could understand the comparison more. wow, i forgot how ****ty this band was though.

Yeah its not spot on, but its close enough for me to make the comparison.

That's how I was introduced to Metal. Great documentary if anyone is interested.

I edited out Killswitch and Dimmu because I think that is bad metal in every respect.

But you mentioned Mastodon and that's exactly why I thought Torche would be up your alley.

Mastodon is a good, skilled expression of the new (not nu) metal sound -- and I think Torche has that too but the singer doesn't at all sound like he has testicles in his throat. Torche has a nice, unique sound because, as you've pointed out, a lot of metal bands don't have vocals that appeal to the masses but they do. I officially have no idea what you're after .. or if it exists

If you want something done right...
