The Singer's Thread(or the thread for those who can't play anything).
So... Singing. It's a musical instrument itself, so who here likes to sing? Now I'm not talking about some shower-singing crap, I'm talking about singing to actually improve, or perhaps you sing in a band, or just singing seriously. Any kind of vocalists are welcome, be it regular clean singers, screamish mofos from hardcore bands, rappers, etc.
I have a very limited voice, therefore my regular singing is very bad. Perhaps it's because I don't try it very much, but I've tried singing some Judas Priest/Iron Maiden-ish stuff and it's just too hard for me, I can't hit such high notes(never tried it loud enough so I'm not sure). I also suck at imitating Eddie Vedder(Pearl Jam).
I can sing some Frank Sinatra, though. :wacko:
Of course I've tried some of that growling stuff in death metal. In fact, my growl is pretty good, sounds an awful lot like Pandemonium's deep vocals, and quite a lot like that of Avulsed. Thing is, I can only do it from my throat, so it's not very loud and gets very tiring after a bit. Having phlegm helps a lot... If I try to do it from my gut(how it's really supposed to be done), I sound like Morbid Angel, or some old Italian punk band(don't remember the name).
I can do very good rasps however, not as perfect as Arsis', but good. I need plenty of phlegm to do it well, and it doesn't sound like cum gurgling like a lot of BM bands. :wacko:
Normally I don't sing along to something less I know the lyrics very well and I feel hyped. I frequently sing some Manowar/Metallica/Pearl Jam/a few power metal bands/etc.
So... post what stuff you sing, if you sing, if you suck, if you're better than Bruce Dickinson, etc. Or just spam this thread if you can't play any instrument. :wacko:
