I get bored real easy. Only if the band is absolutely extraordinary will I just stand there and watch... as in, not just the playing but what they're doing on stage. One time I saw this hardcore band called Showbread... it was like they were having a collective granmol seizure. And there was this one part where all four guitarists (including the bassist) suddenly took their guitars off and started twirling them over their heads by the headstocks and missing each other's heads by mere inches... it was almost choreographed but very random and violent. Everyone was too mesmerized to move.

Hey now... let's not go knocking on the growling. Need I remind you all I growl? It's not easy and takes time and practice to develop. Sure you'll never catch a teacher that teaches growling, and that's fine, but it still takes time and dedication to keep from running out of breath as well as not ruining your voice. Just like any other type of singing. Besides, it works well with a lot of the stuff I write. Not all of it, but a lot of it.

from what I've seen, most metal singers, or "growlers" as you are calling them, can actually sing extremely well normally. I believe that how well you can "growl" may be directly related to how well you can sing. I sure as hell can't growl, try as I might.

I'm still working on my singing. I suck. No way around it. I'm getting better I guess, but I still flat out suck. But if you want me to say something that no one else can understand then I've got that covered.

I can sing OK, but I've never tried growling... the only full-on growling band I like is Lamb of God (I also like Machine Head, Shadows Fall, Opeth and Trivium, who growl for part of the time). Cryptic, you're a growler - how do you do it? Is it diaphragmatic, or do you just roar from the back of your throat in a low register?

if I'm not mistaken, cryptic does the death metal growl, where it's all low and you can't understand what they're saying.. lamb of god style growling goes alot higher in pitch, and you can understand it if you listen closely.

I've been trying to teach myself the lamb of god style.. I'm getting better, but I definitely wouldn't try it on a stage at all.. I kinda do it from the back of the thoat.. it works some days, and not on others.. and I can't sing it very loud..

Lamb of God doesn't really count as a growl, it's more of a raspy cackle if you ask me. Growling is gutteral and it works pretty much just like any other vocal style. Push air from your stomach and aim for a lower pitch. Only real difference is your distorting it. The thing about it is if you're not careful you can pull a Chris Barnes or an Anders Friden and flat out ruin your voice if you use it like a toy.

I'm not too much doing exclusive lows anymore though, lately I've been working on my higher wails, so those are coming along quite well. But yeah, my lows are incoherant, but I can add clarity.

I like to rant and rave all hardcore and angsty like Henry Rollins... or sing/scream way badly off key like Wesley Willis. Throw in a little Misfits-era Glenn Danzig crooning and some of the stuff Serj Tankian of System of a Down pulls... and that's me. :D

Cool! Just don't turn into a Greg Puciato or a Dani Filth *shudder*

I added those guys on myspace so I could tell them how much they sucked, but then they said something nice and I felt bad so I just pretended I liked them.....

One of the vocalists in my band is actually pretty good friends with Cradle of Filth, actually. He lives really close to where they perform when they're on tour so every time they come by he hangs out with them. The kicker is that he hates their music.

I think Cradle of Filth are okay if you mentally block out the "singing"!

I hate how overpopularized their music is.. but I think it's actually pretty good. I like the choir and keyboarding skills, lol. guitar/drums/bass work isn't all that great, and the singing is... unique... but the arrangement of it, to make that "scary" sounding music, I like that.

I kinda think they're lame all around. There are very few songs that I enjoy listening to, all of which would be better without Dani, and even better with a whole different band that played completely different music.
