treeduck Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 They didn't much like Opeth either!I won't go there Well...I don’t either. That death growl/Cookie Monster shit ruins good music for me. It is the bit of poop on an ice cream cone...ruins the whole thing.I see it more as a special effect, or a deeper part of the music compared to normal "clean" vocals. That's how I hear it anyway. I'm not the biggest fan of the growling vocals but most bands that use it wouldn't sound right using a cleaner or melodic style. More often than not it fits best with the music and mood they're trying to convey.Yeah if you tried to replace death vocals in a death metal song with clean vocals it probably wouldn't work. It would probably sound as bad as tying to put death vocals in a pop song instead of normal vocals. I dislike it partly for the ethic behind death metal/death growl which I find abhorrent and partly because the death growl just sounds ugly and offputting...which I’m sure is part of the goal by the freaks that use it.So I'm a freak too am I? :kisshug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm just weirdThe second I hear growling it's :outtahere:...nextdoor's dog? Let's just say I'd rather hear Phil Simms call an NFL game than listen to that shit.

EagleMoon Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 These guys drive me nuts. They always cut it off just as you're getting into it. They talk too much.Appreciate it for what it is. They're reacting. Part of the joy is watching them. Do you dislike them because they thought Dream Theater couldn't write good songs? Just sayin' I can have an opinion, just like you. We don’t have to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thizzellewashington Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 They did Limelight recently on their Patreon, too. These guys are great. Always like hearing their perspective on music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
