Jimbob Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I'm not a huge fan of shouting in music, i can listen to it but half the time it ruins the song for me.
Dante Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Another great shouting song is SOAD - Chic 'N' Stu.
Roostophe Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Another great shouting song is SOAD - Chic 'N' Stu. Listening to that right now. You're so frecking right! Yeah, I'm pretty open on the whole 'shouty' business. For my opinions, see Wesley, j7 and Jav's posts.

For my opinions, see Wesley, j7 and Jav's posts. Same here "This ballgames in the refrigerator, The door is closed, The lights are out, And the butters getting hard. What a splendid pie, Pizza-pizza pie, Every minute, every second, Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, What a splendid pie, Pizza-pizza pie, Every minute, every second, Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy."
Dan_Dare Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 a well timed wail is what I'm talkin about. I mean some honest to god awesome Jeff Buckly falsetto outpouring of emotion. as for shouting...well Jordan...you just don't get it!
Ramar Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 nahhh Corey pulls it off well in slipknot, and hes got a crackin voice to back it up. Got to agree the bloke is amazing. Songs like Bother and Zzyzx road for Stone Sour show the other side of his voice.
Konfucius Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I listen to a lot of metal but usually I stay away from the Death Metal and such because of all the grunts and shouts. I think Slipknot and SOAD are very good examples though of how it's done right. They manage to carry over emotions and the point they are trying to make by shouting, so it's noticable to me.
Letty Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) There's nothing quite like sitting on the bus with this in your ears ^^ Urgh. Keep doing it, you'll fuck your vocal chords eventually.

RoadKill Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 There's nothing quite like sitting on the bus with this in your ears ^^ I have noscript enabled so the youtube video shows up as a brown block before I click it to unblock it. Before I clicked it I said "meshuggah". Indeed, it was

Jimbob Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 There's nothing quite like sitting on the bus with this in your ears ^^ I could not listen to that to be fair, not on the bus anyway. I also find people who pump this music out annoying to be fair. Especially when you are trying to listen to your own music and all you hear is heavy metal.
jayseven Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 There's nothing quite like sitting on the bus with this in your ears ^^ Saw them play that ^_^ It is seriously awesome!

Fierce_LiNk Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 There's nothing quite like sitting on the bus with this in your ears ^^ Sorry, Letty. I listened to it, and it just did nothing for me. I mean, physically, nothing. Not even a semi.
Paj! Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 That Messugah song is just so self-indulgent. It doesn't do anything to me that it is trying to do, as it's the same throughout.

That's kinda how I felt about it. It didn't seem to change...it just stayed the same. The only feeling I felt was boredom.
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Its making me want to play F-Zero GX. Only to drown out the sound. Sorry, Don-tay! You know I love you.

Ha :P This sort of music is about neck and shoulders. You (well, I do anyway) dance fairly slowly to this, but in jarring violent motions. And it's built up, with areas where you mellow up and bomb down. It's just that people don't realise how metal stuff is not really as in-your-face as you think. There are subtleties and crescendos. Bass, drums and level of vocal aggro = layers. It's an acquired taste, that's for sure. And it's not about beauty! Primal shit, yo As for being bus-music.. yeah I do get a bit self-conscious on trains/buses when listening to this stuff. I'll turn the volume down or skip. But walking down the street? It makes you a mean dog. People get out of your fucking way - not because they can hear it but because of your intensity. There's music that makes me feel like hugging people when I'm walking down the street. Sometimes I really just want to punch them in the face. This music is better for that.

Kirkatronics Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 System of a down - Bounce Its so weird, what the hell is it about other than a pogo stick? surely it has a hidden meaning?
Paj! Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 System of a down - Bounce Its so weird, what the hell is it about other than a pogo stick? surely it has a hidden meaning? The lyrics sound pretty sexual to me.
Dan_Dare Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 System of a down - Bounce Its so weird, what the hell is it about other than a pogo stick? surely it has a hidden meaning? surely...no. Satire? please.
Dante Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 System of a down - Bounce Its so weird, what the hell is it about other than a pogo stick? surely it has a hidden meaning? Jump, Bounce, Down, Up I went out on a date With a girl, a bit late She had so many friends Gliding through many hands I brought my pogo stick She had so many friends Just to show her a trick She had so many friends gliding through many hands [Chorus] Jump (pogo x7) , Bounce (pogo x7), Down (pogo x3), Up (pogo x3) jump (pogo) bounce (pogo) up (pogo) down (pogo) Unannounced was there games All players with no names They lined up double quick But just one pogo stick Everyone gets to play Runaway, expose' It was so exotic But just one pogo stick. [Chorus] Oh, I like to spread you out Touching whoever's behind [Chorus] Find the meaning now? Edit: Its about a sex orgy.
