[quote=Amanda;530570][quote=sirdarksol;530556]I've heard that description of SoaD dozens of times.

Those be fighting words!
Because I've heard others make the description?

I mean, I kind of agree. A few of my favorite bands are of the "shove mic down throat and scream" genre.

Lol.
There are a few iffy songs with SOAD. But overall, if it's mainly Serge, it's usually good.
I can think of a few songs that people hearing it for the first time would think were off the wall though.
Ah, but it's still the minority of metal. Most metal singers are more melodic than Serj is (not that SoaD can be pidgeon-holed into a single genre).
I get that metal is more jangling than some people would enjoy, though. My parents are like that. Not that they don't listen to new music. My dad was on top of some new, popular bands more than I was when I was in high school.
What about BYOB? Can the cry of "Why do they only send the poor?" be called anything other than screaming into/around the mic?
By the way, John Dolmayan is a crazyman, and doesn't actually follow much of a rhythm. I've started listening more to the drums in the music I listen to since I became my family's default drummer in Rock Band.
I enjoy bands like Cannibal Corpse, Children of Bodom, and In Flames. All of those coughing up the mic kind of bands. I also absolutely love power metal like Dragonforce, Amon Amarth, and ManOwar. And of course the classic metal like Iron Maiden and Metalica. But what I don't like is rap, pop, and modern rock... For some reason I just cannot stand modern rock.
I'm kinda, sorta, you know, totally in love with Alexi Laiho from COB.
haha.

Oooh, I love me some good metal!
I like the old-school stuff, Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc
And some of the 80s hair metal stuff SCORPIONS!!!!!
And then the newer stuff too, anywhere from Canvas Solaris to Pelican (the most chill and relaxing metal I've ever heard, seriously) to lots of other random stuff.... so yeah

Not a fan of 50 cent. My favorite band is My Chemical Romance. I also love Hurt, Dir En Gray (a metal band from Japan), Cake, A Perfect Circle, and so on and so on.
For all you metal fans, check out Frostfell. I work with the drummer. If you let me know what you think, I'll pass it on to them.

Pearl Jam, Beetles, Skynard, Floyd, Alabama, Oak Ridge Boys, Willie Nelson, Merl Haggard, Finger Eleven, 311, Everclear, DMX(Only rapper I've really ever really liked - used to listen to him in high school and college during track practice or 5 minutes before one of my races.. really got the blood moving ).. so yea that pretty much sums up my music tastes. Southern Rock/country with a little bit of that other stuff

I've been cut by a knife and some scizzors... and a snake cage.... and just now by some decor that I was arranging in my fish tank.... and I have had an unlucky childhood at times.... and my brother chipped my tooth by punching me in the face when we were kids, that's a violent childhood.... does that mean I'm a rapper too?!?
Ok I won't lie, I was just walking around the house saying "i'm down with OPP, you know me" and my child is looking at me like I am crazy and shaking her head no at me... so yea. That's it for my hip hop career.
