Tornado of souls had one of the best guitar riffs and best guitar solos of all time, as well as one of the worst most amateurish vocal performances of any song ever

Dream Theater

I'm gonna get banned, but System of a down.

[-] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

Banned, why? You are welcome to your bad, wrong opinions! It tells the rest of us who can be safely ignored. On the contrary, we thank you for your service.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

The dude actually blocked me.

[-] taggart_mccallister@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, 100% agree. Ironic since he sang the Godzilla cover in King of the Monsters.

[-] IonAddis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Nymphetamine is the only song I like. For this reason.

[-] cupcake_of_DOOM@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Limp Bizkit. Never like them. Then I heard some of Wes Borland's side projects. Made it clear that there were really good musicians in the band that could have evolved in interesting directions. But we'll never know because they were held back by Durst's angry drunk trashy frat-boy image and idiotic, juvenile lyrics.

[-] IonAddis@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Part of the time... Lacuna Coil. Seesaws between wonderful and awful depending who's singing.

You are 100% correct but that's not stopping me from being mad about it

[-] Hextic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Unpopular opinion but King Diamond. That man is a acquired taste. Oh he's real good and Mercyful Fate + KD is full of bangers but to the untrained ear sounds like Elmo sometimes. At least when I first was introduced.

Once my brain got over "it's not Elmo it's falsetto" it got a lot better. Glad I did because Melissa/Them/The Conspiracy are mandatory.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I never could get used to his style

[-] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Coheed and Cambria. Example.

[-] freamon@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

Faith No More. Although "We Care A lot" popping up in Guardians 3 was one of the few bits I enjoyed.

The only djent I like is Destiny Potato/Sordid Pink. Her voice is insane!

[-] Hazzardis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well vocals are non-existant in a lot of djent music lol

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Unpopular opinion: Iron Maiden. It has taken me quite a while to get used to the vibrato in Dickinson's voice. Still not totally sure I like it.

[-] Xariphon@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Anything with that screaming/growling vocal style feels like this to me. I get that it's a specific style and a specific skill to do, but holy fuck does it feel like nails on a chalkboard to my brain.

[-] cokane_88@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Foo fighters

[-] aJazzyFeel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Dir en grey 😭 My favorite band for more than 20 years but damn if my ears aren't bleeding at times.

[-] oryx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Silencer

Disclaimer: I love Silencer. Don't hate me

[-] Joris@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wish there was a Silencer without the vocals. 😂

[-] ShunkW@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'd say skeletonwitch solely because their current vocalist is a turd.

[-] mr_sifl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wow I didn't know they were still a band. I saw them open for Cannibal Corpse around the time Breathing the Fire came out and they were rad.

[-] ShunkW@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah they were sick back in the day. Then they fired their vocalist and the new guy got pissy when he wasn't as good. I might have trolled him on Facebook for a bit because he was such an asshole. I haven't listened to them since that night when I saw them and he was a huge dick to everyone at the show

A7X new album

[-] GillyGumbo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Sleep Token

[-] Acid@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely has to be Megadeth without a question. Imagine them with an actual singer and they’d be so insane.

Dream theater is second but only because labrie has had his voice deteriorate so much over the years. His voice on every album up to octavarium was amazing.

[-] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

3 Inches Of Blood.

They were still fantastic.

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Scar Symmetry for sure.

Cynic, until you give them a second chance and they change your life.

Hat from the early Gorgoroth days. That shit just makes me laugh.

[-] DigDoug@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Gorguts

A lot of people really love Luc Lemay's vocals, and I think they're fine for the most part. It's just that I feel like he strays off the line between "Dark, menacing vocals for uncompromising music" and "Hilarious pained wailing" just a little bit too often.

[-] benderbeerman@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I said AJJ, wife gave me a dirty look and said Tom Petty...

[-] benderbeerman@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, well, neither is really metal, but whatever

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Clutch definitely fits.

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Devil Sold His Soul

[-] FormerGameDev@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

IMO, almost the entire Death Metal genre post Death's Spiritual Healing.

[-] keeb420@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

If it were in Spanish I'd say the mars volta.

[-] hyauzane@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Dark Tranquillity, the vocals can be some much energetic than they feel now to me.

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Equilibrium with their "new" fronter.

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Inquisition

Dark Angel (Time Does Not Heal)
