Screamers that can't scream

[The_Crowing]

Might as well have a thread on this subject.

Obvious choice: Hawthorne Heights

[Lost Glories]

very obvious...senses fail as well...

[WakingTheMisery]

steeeeeevvvveeee perry!

[Lozin_It]

I don't think their screams are really... bad. They are more unique, but I'm not a big fan of it anyways.

[Karma_Police]

Might as well have a thread on this subject.

Obvious choice: Hawthorne Heights


good i'm not the only one who hates the screaming from hawthorne heights. i saw them play live it digusted me

[Lozin_It]

Yeah, thier live wasn't exactly the best ever. It was... quite irritating. And the singer went to fast for the music. But I guess we have to cut them a little slack since this is like... their first album isn't it?

[youcomebeforeyo]

I love Alexisonfire, don't get me wrong. But the screams are very mediocre. He can't hold them for sustained amounts of time and they seem dull.

And yes 80% of post/emo-core bands probably fit the bill.

No, we dont cut them any slack because they are a sucky ass band. Not to mention that your avatar is awful. Get rid of it as soon as possible.

As for bad screamers im gunna go with The Locust, Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail, the screams in Thursday arent the best even though i love them.

fine how about he puts "every rap except nick's rap sucks" that better?


and yeah Geoff Rickely isn't the best even though i got trashed for saying that. like he sounds kind of tortured but then again maybe that's his style considering he's largely influenced by Robert Smith's vocals in The Cure

[Hilikus]

Underoath have bad screams to.

[Lozin_It]

Good God, I'm keeping my avatar because that's how a feel about rap. Anybody else who doesn't like it just needs to deal with it.

But anyways. They are good on their album, I like their songs, but the screaming.... ehh, they could do without since they arne't good at it.

[thefamousadams]

good i'm not the only one who hates the screaming from hawthorne heights. i saw them play live it digusted me

I didn't see them live, but I bought their cd because I liked ONE song off of it. Not even half way through the second song I knew I'd just wasted $15. I hate their scream.

Good God, I'm keeping my avatar because that's how a feel about rap. Anybody else who doesn't like it just needs to deal with it.

I agree with your avatar. I said I didn't like rap, and thats how I got so many negative points.

[Lozin_It]

Yeah well people can just go to hell. We are intitiled to out own god damn opinion. They can just go screw themselves.

[youcomebeforeyo]

Underoath have bad screams to.

You reckon?

I know it's your opinion i'm just suprised to hear it.

[Lozin_It]

I think UNderoath's screams sound good.

[PunkDrums182]

I love Alexisonfire, don't get me wrong. But the screams are very mediocre. He can't hold them for sustained amounts of time and they seem dull.

I dont know, i think their screams are fucking awesome.

[bleed me bleu]

The Blood Brothers
Fuck them with a passion
Voice cracks are not an excuse to pretend youre screaming

[ActorInThisPlay]

Underoath have bad screams to.

Yeah dude I fuckin love Underoath's screams...don't know how you can put them in the same category as Senses Fail and Hawthorne Heights

[sunpoison]

The Blood Brothers

I hate the vocals of that band.

[Alex Djaferis]

im with you on Alexisonfire. the Singing is far superior.

And as for the thread. Senses Fail. It sounds like a cat shreaking.

[The_Crowing]

I actually have to say, I love Emery with a passion, but the screaming is really unneccessary. It kinda takes away from the music and the real vocals, which are amazing.

[WakingTheMisery]

i like the songs with the screaming more.

the guy from kane hodder has a strange scream. i love it but its a little out there.

[Hilikus]

im with you on Alexisonfire. the Singing is far superior.

And as for the thread. Senses Fail. It sounds like a cat shreaking.

The screams in Alexisonfire sound fine to me. I mean tehy arent great but i dont think their bad. Yeah, and Dallas Green has the voice of a thousand angels.

[bossman calling]

Hawthorne Heights sound like tigers getting gangraped.

[thefamousadams]

Yeah well people can just go to hell. We are intitiled to out own god damn opinion. They can just go screw themselves.

I agree.

[afk999]

Hawthorne Heights sound like tigers getting gangraped.
very true

[kcgb3]

hmm ive always wondered what tigers getting gangraped sounded like, and now i know that it sounds extrememly terrible

[afk999]

hmm ive always wondered what tigers getting gangraped sounded like, and now i know that it sounds extrememly terrible
yeah not pleasant

[TheNumberOneFan]

i read the title of this thread and thought of hawthorne heights right away

[Alex Djaferis]

i just gave it another listen. you are right, its not as bad as i was making it out to be.

*slaps self on wrist*

[WakingTheMisery]

i'm not really a fan of watch out just because there is little screaming.

negative scene points! yay!!

[saosin10289]

if you honestly feel the need to talk shit about a band, thats just showing what a fucking asshole you are, everyone tries hard to get where they are, and for you to be a dick about it is just fucked up...cuz they're trying and i dont see u ppl trying.. and if you are, then i dont think u want ppl talking shit about you


oh yeah, and senses fail ROCKS

[youcomebeforeyo]

Wow you're a fucking genious.

I don't care if a band works hard to get where they are, if they imitate their sound from every other band within a certain genre type and add absolutely nothing new to it then i'm going to express my right to say I think they're shit.

George W Bush worked quite hard to get into the presidency. Should I just shut up because he worked hard to get there?

I can't figure out what's more pathetic the haters, or anti-haters.

Go to school.



To the AOF debate: I thought the screams on the first album were pretty good. The growls in the end of The Keneddy Curse are brilliant, I just think they seem dull and lifeless somewhat on Watch Out. Not bad, just bland. Just my opinion though :)

[Jess7286]

AOF is fantastic live. The screams are amazing, that's all there is to it but to each his/her own.

As for BAD screamers, there's an entire LIST of shit:
ATREYU
18visions (what fashionxcore shit is this?)
Avenged Sevenfold
Spencer from UnderOATH. Dallas was fantastic.
Cove from Saosin. Where's Anthony?
New dude of Norma Jean. They should've just changed their name when Josh left.
Evergreen Terrace

But Atreyu beats all of them by far. Atreyu is just plain crap.

Hitler tried hard. Stalin. the Khmer Rouge. Mugabe.

All, people that try REALLY REALLY hard. But look at what their efforts have done. Your argument doesnt hold.

And how dare you insinuate that we are all assholes just because we talk shit about the bands WE DONT LIKE.

I was in a band. I can tell you that I have had people come tell me that they thought we sucked. Did I care? No! I make music for myself and for the people that appreciate it.
The others can go listen to whatever they want as far as im concerned.

saosin sucks.

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

i like the songs with the screaming more.

the guy from kane hodder has a strange scream. i love it but its a little out there.
Definitely. I love Andrew's scream. Have you ever seen them live?

[twe]

The Blood Brothers
Fuck them with a passion
Voice cracks are not an excuse to pretend youre screaming
i love The Blood Brothers vocals. so fucking awesome to me. great live show too.

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

i love The Blood Brothers vocals. so fucking awesome to me. great live show too.
Agreed. Agreed. Agreed to some extent.
See, I love the Blood Brother's live show because its so intense. But to be honest, they were pretty sloppy and didnt sound all that great, but god was it fun.

[Hilikus]

i love The Blood Brothers vocals. so fucking awesome to me. great live show too.

Yes, their live show is fucking sick.

[bossman calling]

sick like cancer

i could only tolerate about five minutes of the blood brothers before i got sick of that incoherent screeching

[The_Crowing]

i love The Blood Brothers vocals. so fucking awesome to me. great live show too.

I agree totally.

[twe]

sick like cancer

i actually saw them play in 2002 for the first time. i left after two songs because i couldn't stand them. a year later i downloaded "Ambulance Vs. Ambulance" and was hooked. been rocking to them ever since.

[Jess7286]

The Blood Brothers are kind of an acquired taste thing. You can't just see them at a show and appreciate them. They're strange. Not saying they're not good, they are, but they're randomish.

[ArTkY_]

You have to get used to The Blood Brothers. I like Atreyu's scream. :whip:

[FOBcareemo]

Yeah, thier live wasn't exactly the best ever. It was... quite irritating. And the singer went to fast for the music. But I guess we have to cut them a little slack since this is like... their first album isn't it?

who gives a fuck what album of theirs it is i payed to see a good band and thats what i want if this was a weekend thing and not their job i would under stand but for him to suck most of the time is fuckin stupid+

when i saw them i was like WTF???but after listening to crimes i damn near shit myself

[WakingTheMisery]

Definitely. I love Andrew's scream. Have you ever seen them live?
i have. for the longest time i thought two guys were singing. wow. one of the most entertaining live shows i've seen for sure.

[bossman calling]

see i kinda liked a v a at first, the saw them live and couldnt take it

[WakingTheMisery]

i'm trendy so i like blood brothers.

[Jess7286]

Trendy rocks. DUH.

I don't understand how people like Atreyu. That's not screaming, it's just some pussyxcore fashion nugget on stage holding a mic pretending he's bad ass and "screaming" since we all know that it is SO hXc to go RARRRRRR.

you know i will give that band credit for one thing: they have sweet ass guitar solos on the new record.

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

i have. for the longest time i thought two guys were singing. wow. one of the most entertaining live shows i've seen for sure.
Yeah, Andrew's pretty incredible. The dude seriously never misses a beat, he's spot-on with every line, definitely a great live show. Theyre so intense, but at the same time so tight. Did you see them at Bamboozle? (if you went)

[Hilikus]

Their guitarists are so overrated.

[gil_ag]

I dont know, i think their screams are fucking awesome.

same here

i'm not in to festivals really. too many "cool" kids. i actually saw them with less than jake. i was one of the few people at the show who enjoyed them. they were a little out of place. wow... i'm wearing their shirt right now!

bon jovi was one of the few bands from the 80's i could enjoy.

[holdontightly]

i cant stand hawthorne heights. they are the worst band in the world and their screaming sucks ass. i was the happiest person in the world when i found out boys night out was gonna play at the same time as them at warped tour. :)

[WakingTheMisery]

Their guitarists are so overrated.
agreed 100%.

Oh man, I saw them twice at Bamboozle. The first time, they were supposed to play outside, however, it got moved inside the Stone Pony. Nobody knew about it (and those who did didnt care) so I was lucky enough to be walking by just as they were playing the intro to the first song of their set. It was me, and about 4 other kids that cared. It was quite the interesting experience.

Odd question, have you ever been to Vintage Vinyl?

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

Was it for an in-store...possibly Lux Courageous or Halifax or Circa Survive?

[WakingTheMisery]

Was it for an in-store...possibly Lux Courageous or Halifax or Circa Survive?
no. just to pick up some albums. was i there?

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

I don't know, perhaps. I was there with my friends (both of which despise Kane Hodder) after one of those in-stores, and a guy walked by and I pointed and said, "See, that guy likes Kane Hodder" and he gave me a weird look.

I thought it might have been you who I shared that awkward moment with.

[pinklar]

senses fail is just fucking brutal. worst scream, (not to mention singing) i've ever heard; and its even worse live. i know its already been said, but i believe its good to remind people of how bad this band really is.

[runyourownsite.]

check out mason (http://www.purevolume.com/mason) vocal style being compated to Glassjaw, Taking Back Sunday and the Blood Brothers. Mixed reviews from the scene, overall good response. Check them out for sure.

[TheNumberOneFan]

this is obviously self promotion but this band isnt bad at all. I kinda like them.

yeah normally i hate when people do this.. but when he said Glassjaw i had to check it out..

it's pretty good... very very different, which, now days, almost makes it good by default.

[Hilikus]

BAH. Nobody in Europe listens to good music. What is with that?

Anyway, that chick from Walls of Jericho is a terrible screamer and that stupid girl from Tsunami Bomb pretends she can scream.

I loathe chick lead singers.

[ilusionofsafet]

As for bad screamers im gunna go with The Locust, Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail, the screams in Thursday arent the best even though i love them.
The Locust are good. Just beacause they arent your style doesnt mean they cant scream.

And Underoath???? give me a break. They are one of the best screaming bands next to Old Norma Jean, and As I Lay Dying.

[xsilencedx]

you people are retarded underoath,hawthorne heights and alexisonfire are gods.

:stick:

The Locust are good. Just beacause they arent your style doesnt mean they cant scream.
The Locust are terrible. If you take them for anything more than a gimmick, you're retarded.

[monkeyboy14]

I don't like screaming in music much. I can take it in small doses but it does add to some bands sounds. Personally I don't like the screams in Thursday and the screams on Coheed's first album are weak as well.

[last light]

The Locust are good. Just beacause they arent your style doesnt mean they cant scream.

hahahaha wow. you are an idiot.

[Authentik]

In UnderOath some of their screams in certain songs sound good and in others not so good but they're still an awesome band, Hawthorne's screaming simply sucks and some of their vocals annnoy the hell out of me.
