Aninymouse Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Agreed, if you're a non-believer.Edit: Or am I stupid for thinking you can't process your vocals to such a degree live? , at times, I think. Even if that was the case in the instance of Arch Enemy, would that somehow cheapen the amazing quality of their music for you somehow? I love a lot of Timbaland and Daft Punk songs, you know, so I really have had to confront the whole "end product or process" debate. Personally, unless an artist is completely ripping somebody else off, their process doesn't really dictate how much I respect them as a general rule.I mean, Mario Galaxy has some absolutely phenominal orchestrated music as far as video games go, but then you have Donkey Kong Country where they had to individually program each note in some goofy data format without midi. I love both soundtracks, but is one somehow worth more than another? Not to me, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotSS Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes AE, but going by what I've read in some interviews/reviews, her voice was processed on the last few albums, but on Rise Of The Tyrant her voice is mostly untouched. You can definitely tell a difference between this album and their last two, but her vocals aren't really any worse, so I'd say that she has some real talent.

danimal cannon Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Agreed, if you're a non-believer.Edit: Or am I stupid for thinking you can't process your vocals to such a degree live? They pitchshift her vocals down live. Not sure how much. I have a friend who was on tour with them. Rob Zombie uses an absolutely disgusting amount of vocal processing live.

Tensei Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Very well, I stand corrected on Angela's vocals, and no, it doesn't make Arch Enemy any worse to me, that would be the same as saying they suck because they use distortion on their guitars to make them sound heavier, which would be pretty silly, ne? Also, I remembered a totally cheesy all-female poprockband from Estonia. Don't like the music, but the girls are pretty hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starla Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Kidneythieves are pretty excellent, in a grungy dark sort of way. Tracy Bonham is also one of my favorites. Also grunge, but not as dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I suggest the band Sinergy. It's a power metal band with a female vocalist, also it has none other than Alexi Laiho on guitars, from Children of Bodom. Oh man! I totally forgot about Sinergy. Good form!

Flare4War Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 This would be better termed classic rock, but if you're not familiar with Roxette they have a fantastic female vocalist. And a ton of good tracks. In my opinion ever album they did was stocked with good tracks. There's more to them than the known-everywhere 'Lay a Whisper', and 'She's Got the Look'. Not that those aren't good songs, but they have a lot of other great songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren2 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 :3 Awesome choices! X3 I myself rarely listen to screamo but umm... Kidney Thieves is a group with a female lead singer. They do rock and softer rock too. She doesn't do much screamo but.. eh.. I like it. :3 Give them a listen when you have time, here's one of my favs by them.... Glitter Girl and Brakish by Kittie is pretty good too if you want some type of screamo but the lyrics are still understandable. ^^; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul v2 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I really don't see how people can like that heavy metal music. Listening to that "Arch Enemy" song made me want to punch her in the face. To each his own, I guess. Um, so more geared towards rock, theres Heart - - apparently that song is GH, then there's the best of the best - Fleetwood Mac - - but if you are more into that screaming garbage can gothic punk heavy metal then you wouldn't like any of what I am suggesting, or if you are more into modern rock, theres always Alanis Morissette, her early stuff (not newer) http://youtube.com/watch?v=hbxNybJ1k0o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening Alanis Morissette's Ironic makes me want to punch her in the face. Hahaha. It seems like anyone who likes rock ought to have at least a couple metal bands that they can like. Perhaps the death vocal type metal bands are just not for you. Have you ever listened to Blind Guardian? You might like something like Nightfall by them. I recommend that. One of the things that's supposed to be an appeal of Heavy Metal is the speed and technique of the guitars and drums. So lots of guitarists like metal. Rock has a lot of fast solos too, but then during the vocals the guitars usually back off and play chords. In metal the guitars sometimes continue to be the "main" part even when vocals are present. Arch Enemy songs are sometimes so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare4War Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I don't consider metal to even be music. It's something else. Noise of some sort. The artists have no musical talent at all. Just a morbid genre in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you had to do was put the word 'some' in between the words 'consider' and 'metal' and you could have gotten away with that statement.

Aninymouse Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Alanis Morissette's Ironic" used to make me hate her, too... but she really does have a lot of great songs. Remember Natalie Merchant? I love a lot of her songs, too. And since we kind of tripped into "90s alternative" mode, how can we not mention Ten Thousand Maniacs?! Love them. Cranberries, too.

I wonder if anyone remembers the time that I said that all Americans are dishonest. Hahaha! That was a shining moment. Hahaha. Of course it's ok if I say that because I am American. It's like how only black people are allowed to call each other nigger. Although, after meeting Liontamer, I'm inclined to believe that sentiment is fading away now. Hahaha.
