Most of the times I like to think of myself as a fairly civilised person with a delicate, subtle taste Examples: Peter Gabriel in The Musical Box ("now, now, now,now,now") and Stagnation ("I wanna sit do-hown!") and the strange sounds he does on Aisle Of Plenty, the "Piltdown Man" on Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, Peter Hammill in general, Alquin when Michel van Dijk was their lead singer, Roger Waters in Careful With That Axe, Terra In Bocca by I Giganti, ... So I'm not talking about metal music but more "common" prog. I like my favourite prog singers to act a bit uninhibited every now and then. How about you? |
, but I have to admit that sometimes I like my prog heroes to scream a bit, lose their temper.Replies:

I didn't even knew that Roger Waters did that scream in Careful with that axe eugene. It was mind blowing

That part of TB always reminded me about The Swamp Thing comics when I read them being a teenager. I'm sure that The Swamp Thing would have sung like that.

Hello Moogtron III, nice topic! You should listen to Italian band Jacula, their singer is a 'progwitch', straight from Hell! |

Well, the first singers who came to my mind have already been mentioned:
I absolutely love Gildenlöw's voice in general. The way he sounds on 12:5.... The second one who comes to mind is ofcourse Mikael Akerfeldt, but I'm not allowed to mention him  .------------- http://www.last.fm/user/manmadegod/?chartstyle=ScarlettJohansson1">

I think the only time I heard Derek Shulman (Gentle Giant) really
scream was in the song 'Number One' off their Civilian album. It's only
short but seemed like he was releasing pent-up frustrations about the
end of an illustrious but non-commercial career for Gentle Giant. I
love it!!!!!!!

| Yeah, Peter Hammill! I' think the screaming in "Man-Erg" is particularly effective. |

My favorites are Gabriels scream of "Jerusaleeeeemm!!!!!!" at the end of Supper's Ready, and Roger Daltry's "YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" at the end of Won't get Fooled Again. -------------

How about Yes performing The Beatles' "I'm Down" live in 1976, at the end of disc #3 of the Yesyears box set. I've never heard Jon Anderson scream like it before or since! "Down down down down ... WOW!! Don't cha know I'm down!" ------------- Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be or seem to be self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time. |

Maggie Roche on the title track of Robert Fripp's Exposure. Enhanced but effective. Roger Daltrey's song ending scream on The Who's I've Had Enough from Quadrophenia. ------------- So much music. So little time. |

Oh yeah, that is great. Maynard can really belt them out. I don't know of many prog screamers, but I will say who I think the best metal screamers are. The lead sing of Mudvayne (can't think of his name) is unbelievable. I saw him belt them out in concert, so he can really do it. The lead singer of Killswitch Engage, Adam Jones I think it is, is awesome. The KIng of Scream though is Phil Anselmo of Pantera. That guy is not human. ------------- I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress . . . |

RAEL mentioned Phil Anselmo, but check out Jens Kidman of Meshuggah !! Now that's screaming or should I say "roaring". Just listen to the Future Breed Machine PA stream. A few years ago saw them live, he can roar like that whole concert long. Also Mariusz Duda of Riverside, f.e. listen to Artificial Smile, has an impressive scream. |

I've never listened to most of the things mentioned here. The prog rock I'm listening to is probably too polite. More dreamers than screamers. Fish can be quite raw too. The Fugazi album comes to mind. |

Thanks, Erik! I've heard about Jacula before (from your "dossier Italië" to be precise |

So do I... though many here wouldn't consider them as prog. Same applies to the otherwordly screams of Glenn Hughes' gold-plated throat. As regards prog, if I think about screams, the first name that comes to my mind is Geddy Lee. I love the way he shrieks "Paradise" at the end of the magnificent "Xanadu". |

Geddy does some great screaming in cygnus x-1 as well.

Yeah, that IS a classic. I didn't think he even knew HOW to scream.

Apropos Hammill and screaming: His screaming in "Disengage" from the
first solo album of Robert Fripp definitely has to be named. I like the
vinyl version of it better; it is more aggressive.

Cedric Bixler of the Mars Volta does some good such screams and yells. Throughout Cassandra Gemmini, and at the end of Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt. He's also amazing live. |

Peter Gabriel's yells have always been my favorite with Hammill in close second. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |
