I wanna b able to scream like John does. How do u learn how to do that?

Practice....

Start with screaming whispers, and build on it.
Soundproofing your garage wouldn't go a miss either.

could you even practice that?

could you even practice that?

Everything, my dear, can be developed upon.

Yeah, and some just sound better than others... Its also a matter of opinion....

I am real po'ed at my youth group right now. Alot of them think screamo is of the devil. "...[it] sounds like a person that has a demon inside."

All I have to say about that is.... HAHAHAHAHA ignorance :\

We all do it sometimes. John is loud (in a good way!).

Korey is not as loud, but I mean they sing well.

my family is always around, so i never get a chance to practice screaming.

I remember the exact words...yes word for word..."It's like he had a demon inside of him.."-speaking of this youth leader who screamed something into the mic during open mic night.

nah. screaming when your family is around is always the best

lol... Girls are never in heavier rock bands. why? because girls just cant scream and sound good.

screamo rocks hard core

yes it does. too much is annoying somedays though.

O? purevolume.com/bloodlinedcalligraphy
Lead is a female, former cheerleader. No joke. Personally, it's not really good..but what do I know about metal/hardcore music.

lol... Girls are never in heavier rock bands. why? because girls just cant scream and sound good.

Not true at all. I wish I had proof, but I don't the name of the bands, I've heard a few bands with the girls screaming, it's awsome. Yeah I like go over to my church and play music and stuff, so I can practice screaming there. :-X

*bashes head againest the/a stone wall*

well, don't pratice your scream on the bus, everyone turns and looks at you :D

lol... Girls are never in heavier rock bands. why? because girls just cant scream and sound good.

that's so true, but every once in awhile you come across sweet chick bands that scream. like jack off jill. man the lead singer is a KILLER singer.

really. the bloodlined calligraphy lead singer really doesnt sound like a woman

Understandable, I had a rather heated discussion with my darling father last night about metal music. Considering its my preferencial listening material, I wasn't exactly going to allow him to state that its satanic music, and that people are only interested in it because of the beat (or something along those lines...). I mean, the beat? Even country music has a beat...*infuriated*.

Ok guys, I absolutely LOOOOOVE hard rock... but I have this problem - i don't think i can sing at all and i'm not about to sing in front of someone who is a good singer so they can tell me if i stink or not. i also wanna learn to play bass but i have no idea to begin and i don't have an instrument. whatcha guys think? how can i tell if i can sing or not?!?! lol... tips on getting started with the bass would be great too.

The best way to learn the bass is to learn some chord progressions. If you don't know what that is, here's a lesson:
1. The beguinning and the end chords is always I (or i in a minor key) in ROOT position. If you want, you can end a piece using a IM7 (or i7) but all of these have to end AT THE SAME KEY.
2. There are 3 positions in a triad-Root (Scale degrees 1, 3, and 5), 1st inversion (scale degrees 3, 5 and 8ve) and second inversion (scale degrees 5, 8ve and 3^). In a 7th chord, just add scale degree 7.
3. There are what's called chord progressions in which a chord is followed by a different chord. The most common chord progression is the V-I (or a Perfect Authentic Cadence or PAC) which usually occurs at the end of a song.
4. Here's where it gets tricky. Let's follow the ol' fashioned I chord. If it's in root position, the bass note is scale degree 1. If the chord is in first inversion, the bass note is scale degree 3. If it's in second inversion, the bass note is scale degree 5.

Depending on what key the music is, the scale degree will always stay the same. An even faster method is to learn tablatures. You can pick up tabs from any music store or online.

As for singing, I would highly recommend that you take vocal lessons either at school or with a private instructor. If you take lessons for a month, your voice will adapt to not only musical notes but intonation as well.

Hope that helps. :)

WOW. Thanks :) i'm not sure if i understand all of that but i'm gonna get a book or sumthing!! lol. hopefully i can get voice lessons eventually.. thanks!!!!

You're quite welcome. Glad I could help. :)

Cool beanz.. what do you play?

Bass guitar, guitar, piano, and (my favorite) drums. I also teach music at FLCC in New York and drums privately.

wow... i dont really play anything.. i have an acoustic guitar but im not very good.

really. the bloodlined calligraphy lead singer really doesnt sound like a woman
yup. In HM mag.

singing is more fun

i think singing is more fun but isint there different kinds of screaming?

yeah. it sure seems like it. like some guys just scream their lungs out. oters i notice yell. yelling isn't as cool as screaming. screaming gets your point across much more dramatically i think.

I never noticed

well, theres a highere pitched scream, Like Daniel Wydnet (Zao)
or a lower one, kind of a growl, like Ryan Cloark (Demonhunter)

yeah. that's what i meant. two different kinds.

Well,Madonna sings high pitched and then low pitched.

i find that skillet yells and other bands like underoath scream

Do you think Statik X screams?

Kinda yes, kinda no. It depends. He kind of screams in pitches :).

i don't like screaming all the time. it's like salt on food; too much and it taste bad.

i think differently, as long as the music is good behind it, I like it, I don't like these stupid power chords through the whole song...

i gotta have some vocals besides screaming. sorry, but i do. :P

i like screaming the entire time and sometimes with vocals i like the new underoath cd its in my car right now i listened to it on the way to school big fun!!!

naw... screaming is an awesome accent, but ya gotta have your vocals.
