Best Scream in Rock

[Roses in the Hospital]

Okay, let's get down to the serious issues. What do you think is the greatest recorded scream in rock and music generally?

For me the absolute tops has got to be Roger Daltrey's second scream in the Who's 'Won't Get Fooled Again' with Joe Strummer's scream at the beggining of 'Should I Stay or Should I Go' a close second.

Other memorable screams being Mick Jager in the coda to 'Sympathy for the Devil', the whooping going on during Muddy Water's 'Mannish Boy' as well as various screams from Paul McCartney during the Beatles' early output, 'Can't Buy Me Love' being a good example.

Any other contenders?

[Louis Pio]

I would go for Tom Arya of Slayer.
The scream in the start of "Angel Of Death" is amazing in my oppinion.
New Bomb Turks also provide some good screams though

[Bazza]

Rhoda Dakar & The Special AKA - "The Boiler". Once heard never forgotten.

[Ziggy]

Hansi Kursh of blind Guardian- imaginations from the other side

Iggy Pop- t.v. eye

pink floyd- the great gig in the sky (that is how you fucking belt it!)

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Tied to the whipping post by Gregg Allman from Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers.

[Invader Zim]

The masses against the Classes, manic street preachers.

[The Forum Idiot]

Mine are less screams, more song lines being screamed.

End of Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Nirvana
Lithium - Nirvana
Most nirvana songs....
Some song I forgot off Surfer Rosa - The Pixies
*forgot others*

[Purple]

prince - the end of "darling nikki"
and most of the songs on "prince & the new power generation"

[dopediana]

janis joplin both in the beginning of "cry baby" and the middle of "piece of my heart".

[cormacobear]

Rob Halford of Judas Preist
Sebastian Bach of Skid Row ( In a Darkened Room) It'll blow your mind
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden

The three greatest tenors in Rock, an olympic fencer, and two classicaly trained operatic tenors. One of whom has done a command performance for the queen during his opera days.

[monkeydust]

it's gotta be Bruce Dickinson's scream at the beginning of Iron Maiden's "The number of the beast".

[DaCuBaN]

janis joplin both in the beginning of "cry baby" and the middle of "piece of my heart".

Fuckin' right :) Although I reckon it's been topped by a woman called Clare Torry - if the name means nothing to you, don't worry: She sessioned on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Can you guess which track? :D

Hell yeah, Tom is definatly up there. Max Cavalera too.


Rob Halford of Judas Preist
Another good choice! :D

[Floyd.]

Either Kurt Cobain or the singer for Refused or the chick singer for Plasmatics.

[The Forum Idiot]

That nirvana scream in I think Drain You.... it's like "WiyAHHhhhhhHGhHHgiiiyAAH"

Most of Meshuggah's music.

Marilyn Manson in any song he screams in.
Chino Mireno in Teething.

Max Cavalera and the best scream he's done would be in Roots Bloody Roots. CHino and Marilyn heehee. :D

[Palmares]

"Roots Bloodys Roots" was the song I was thinking of actually.

Heehee? <_<

Have you heard "Teething"? There is this great bit in the middle of the song where I think Chino&#39;s scream is crazy&#33; Manson is great too just coz his scream is kinda scary. :angry:

[Floyd.]

You total Windsor go listen to Type O Negative or Sunk Loto or Britney Spears.

[1949]

Chino Mireno in Teething.
Damn, forgot about Deftones. Unfortunately, I&#39;ve heard very little Deftones outside of the White Pony album. Which reminds me of the woman in "Knife Prty", anyone remember those screams?

[Floyd.]

1949, Cthenthar both of you go out by an album by Mushroomhead love it grow out of it in two weeks realize it&#39;s the same crap as what you just stated, fall on your knees beg my forgiveness for your bad music taste and all will be forgiven.

Really?

IMO, the first deftones album is the best, which is "Adrenaline". "Around the Fur" is cool too. I saw them at my first concert, which was back in &#39;98. :)

[LuZhiming]

Listen to the Burzum song &#39;Black Spell of Destruction&#39;, I am unable to pick a single "scream"(perhaps shriek is the better word?) from the song to be best, but it&#39;s full of excellent ones.

[1949]

You know who else is a proficient screamer? Mariah Carey. Too bad she can&#39;t create any good music w/that talent.

Within the context of rock, I would suggest Chris Cornell as well.

[Fer]

Fuck yeah Chino moreno all the way.. I just saw soulfly and i&#39;ll nino live and they both have balls when they screeam&#33;

[fallen camarade]

Vocalist for Alexisonfire. Crazy bastard, crazy scream.

[Ziggy]

Marc Bolan of T Rex on the song The Wizard on the cd live at the bbc.

[truthaddict11]

i cant believe no one has mentioned Mike Patton of Faith No More, Mr Buggle, Fantomas, ect. He has an amazing voice.

[refuse_resist]

Someone else I&#39;d like to mention is Karl Buchner from Earth Crisis (formaly of Earth Crisis, I should say). Lou Koller from Sick of it All is another good one and the lead singer from Hoods (though I&#39;m not sure what his name is).

[Floyd.]

I can&#39;t agree more then this...Jim Morrison has that jailed kind of scream; he screams but doesn&#39;t get it out even if it&#39;s loud...(It&#39;s special)

I would have to say Maynard James Keenan from Toool. Lasted, with the same tone, for 25 seconds.

[xx_refused_xx]

My best scream in a rock song would have to be Dennis from Refused, on the song New Noise. If you don&#39;t know who Refused were then you should check them out, they were Swedish Hardcore/punk.
