Listen to "Without Words"

I thought it was Milliontown at first so I kept pressing "pause" on my keyboard.

Honestly they aren't that good but I lol'd

[Pajter]

I got scared as shit when the grunts kicked in. Wtf was that! :lol: It's like a pig squeel, combined with extreme burping.

[Pedro]

Well it's called "Without Words" but there clearly are lyrics.
Here's what I could make out (I might be wrong) :-
 

Give me more Wembley tea
Boys make red boils
You are the curs-ed death
Rope her up, your junker ride
To you, this is the jackpot toe.
 
Bread board Lloyd George travelling, you!

Reggie! Go get out!  
Reggie! Go to Magic Roy's.
Reggie! Guard the home!
Reggie! Go for another way.

Lloyd George, red boils, for you yeah, your words.
We loiter, where rubbishy new pleasure dome, quite right
Brian breaks your refuges, miniature railbreak, last words
Boils, roar, boil 'em too.

Reggie! Guard the home!
Reggie! Go to Magic Roy's.
Reggie! Guard the gnome!
Reggie! Go for another way.

Burnt sausages like the flavour of hope
With a big drop from a gurt good bird.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're grrrunt, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yes, rubber 'uns, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, there's more, but you're bust down.

Reggie! Guard the home!
Reggie! Go to Magic Roy's.
Reggie! Guard the home!
Reggie! Guard, we're not hard.

:?

"...And in the mis-heard lyrics round, it's 2 points to Pedro's team"

Mint.

[rogerg]

that was probably the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a very long time.

What are the general forum consensus on 'growling'? Not like that, but say Tommy Rogers from BTBAM: //http://www.myspace.com/betweentheburiedandme

See, I used to hate it, but as some of the music that I now love (Opeth etc) tended to have it I learned to grin and bear it really...I can't say I love that style, but occasionally it is good for proper 'rawk' moments (I think BTBAM is a good example of that, but I imagine a lot of people will hate/dismiss them - each to their own, I say).

[rogerg]

well, I tend not to like it; to me, it's an effect, and used all the time is just silly.  but what the guy in this band does, I don't even think you can call it Cookie Monster vocals, it's more like Elmo...

[Pedro]

It's the dog, Reggie, I feel sorry for; having all those confusing orders shouted at him....

I started tolerating them when I discovered Opeth. They were so good musically, and Mikael's clean vocals were superb. I just wanted to listen to it so much, that at one point I could stand the grunts. I actually kinda like them now. Well, only with Opeth that is, lol.

[flamadiddle]

As someone who's hated growling forever, I've just turned a corner after listening to Scar Symmetry (their guitarist also plays in Kaipa).  It's really heavy stuff with great, poppy choruses and ridiculous guitar.

[Pedro]

Personally, I just don't see the point of growling. I don't see what it adds.
I mean, I can produce a fairly good car horn noise - but I can't imagine anyone wanting to listen to a whole album's worth of it.

Epica are one band who use it sparingly. Their main singer is this woman with a marvellous operatically clear voice. The grunter provides short periods of excellent contrast. I personally blame the film "The Exorcist" for the whole grunting thing.

[Ben Y-S]

I'm not a fan on growling myself either. The only band that I really liked that used it used it very sparingly, and that was Delain with Silhouette of a Dancer most notably. That album only has a couple of places where it is used, and it's normally backing, where I believe growling belongs.

In response to AudienceFrightener, I did try Epica for a brief period, but found that a bit too growly for my liking. That was a while ago though, I may try them out again soon.
