Children of Bodom, Death, Sepultura, Ministry... Especially Ministry, in fact-- all those bands have nigh-incomprehensible vocal styles, and I love them all. (though not BECAUSE of it if that's what you're thinking)Hell, Ministry is practically my favorite band right now, and with the new stuff (even lots of the old stuff, from mid-late 80s) you can barely catch a word he says.
Death has been going since the mid-80s and have always had that vocal style. Sepultura have been going since around then too, and while the vocals aren't as 'deathy' they're still incredibly hard to make out. Children of Bodom have been around since... What, '94?
My point is it's not just a 'recent' thing, and MOST of the time I couldn't care less about how many words I can make out in the lyrics, as long as I can read them and see what the vocalist is actually talking about. Being much more educated in the genre, I'm sure someone like Nek can give you MANY more examples than I. :wink:
Quote:. I still like bands like Nirvana, and Tool who do not have very complex parts.
YOU CRAZY!!!!
tool is a very sophisticated prog rock band from a musicians point of few their compositions are incredibly complex, especially the rythmics. my god, you really put nirvana and tool into the same category that hurts...
Quote:Bach, Beethoven, Grieg, or Mozart
Bachs a wanker, tchiakovsky is my preference...
And the music industry is an industry and business, it has nothing to do with music. Music has been around for 1000's of years, the Ãndustry'' for little over 50.
Contrary to pop. beleif you do not always sacrifice creativity for a lable (MR. BUNGLE were on warner bros for chrstsakes)... But if you want to make money, odds are you have to sacrifice creativity. Thats the catch.
Plenty of low-coverage musicians are on major labels, they don't sell allot, but they release their contracted 7 albums, and everythings fine.
You only sacrifice things if you want to gain something else (give and take, profit and loss... kinda)
you sacrifice popularity for creative freedom
you sacrifice creative freedom for popularity

heh...I should probably just say the the guitarist in Tool. Everything else is complex.

I love Nirvana (except from that mallcoreish 'nevermind', but that's not Nirvana after all) and I love Tool, but I so agree with you, man.
I think I could never ever attempt to do something that sounded like Tool. They are so complex!
This might just be me, but I have a real problem listening to a band , even if they are good studio if they can't preform live... like nirvana....
Interesting opinion Shogun.
I personally don't tend to care for live stuff, I'd rather hear a nicely crafted studio cut. Songs tend to form familiar patterns in my memory and that's how I recognize them...live versions mess it all up.
See, everyone has different likes.
