had it been Behemoth or Dark Tranquility or Gorgorth or any death band...it would have been a f***in legendary contest...but since its Bullet For My Valenine...what a lame contest, right? What a lame excuse...Kalis_wrath you try too hard to be an assertive woman...in every single thread you try to be this "stand alone, asservite and strong woman..." real women like this dont have to try...i have more respect for a woman that is less assertive and sees things for the way they are than for a woman that tries too hard and bashes and destroys everything shes doesnt like...kinda pathetic if you think about it...

Do these people that all the sudden post like they have been here reading the threads and suddenly decide that they are going to post to try to get a rise out of me think I give two flying f***s what I think? Dumb a$$ read post 3! I said even if one of my bands did this contest it would still be a lame contest! Maybe a "best lyrics" contest or something along those lines would have been better. Best scream is lame and provokes little creativity!

MY opinions are my own and not yours in any shape or form to try to tweak or make palitable to your very weak thin skin! Thank you Diamond by the way, and A.P that was too funny! Much agreed!

Hahaha! Thanks Zero 54 and Rk. Sorry about the ol man nude on a Harley deal. I went in fantacy mode and kind of forgot that this site is about 98 percent male. From the sounds of it they wont be screaming about anything. Then again if I woke up with a bad hair cut like the B4MV or the Ax7 guys I would scream so loud China would be makeing noise complaints to my landlord!

Kalis_wrath---even I think this is a lame contest, and you know I'm a fan of BFMV. I'm sure they could have come up with something better, but oh well, I'm sure who ever wins won't complain. The only place I'll differ with you on this one is their haircuts....three of the four have long straight hair, I didn't know that was a bad thing considering most of the guys in metal have the same thing. Just saying........
By the way pretty pathetic of Sum 1 to attack you like that...you made it pretty clear in your post it wouldn't have mattered if it was one of your bands or not, it's still lame. Heck I know we don't see eye to eye on some things just from some of our posts, but attacking a person because they don't see things the same way is stupid; just leads to arguments like the one I had last night.

And Lst77, like you said people dont read the post before they go and run their mouth off! Its so bloody retarded! I seem to have had that kind of crap all weekend long too. All the sudden these retards who never post decide to see if they can get me to be quiet or go away. Well it wont work! When I first got here I had to do a little proveing of myself, but I am used to it. Was a breeze really. I mean the emo cuts that seem to be promenent in that genere. *shudders*

Since their giving away a guitar they should've had the contest be "who can play Scream, Aim, Fire the best". I mean just because you can scream doesn't seem like a good reason to give people five hundred bucks and a guitar from Guitar Center. The funny thing about this contest to me is the irony of it; Matt lost his voice from screaming, it almost cost him his job.....now they have a contest for people to scream!

What I think is funny is that they're giving away a guitar that is actually a piece of sh^t..!!!
that particular model is the lowest quality guitar that has the ESP/LTD name on it.... actually its not even made of real wood..( unless particle board counts.)... and there autographs on it arent going to make it any better..!!
the $500 gift certificate might buy the winner something half assed decent though..!!

And here's another thing that struck me about this contest:
* Absolutely no other sound may be in the video except for your scream
Followed shortly by:
Entries will be judged on: * The conditions and surroundings in which you are screaming in
Now, what bloody difference does that make? If they can't hear anything else then what does it matter what surroundings you were in? That stipulation is beyond ridiculous.
I'm sure for the most part alot of core fan base of BFMV have good screaming skills already, screaming at their parents because they wouldn't buy them that guitar! (Not aimed at you LST77)

Diamond Oz------But dammit I screamed at my parents everyday........buy me a damn guitar already! If they only had listened to me I would've been famous man....famous. I would rule the metal world for sure. OK, I was gonna go on with that but I started laughing to hard.
No offense taken.
And godlike, you are so correct there. Why not just give away one of their own guitars or atleast a signature edition from ESP----I mean they do have a Michael Paget signature edition and the MP-600. Like you said that guitar is so worthless I wouldn't give it to my son. If I were them I wouldn't want to sign my names on that thing.

This contest seems a little limited in what you can do. Maybe im just not thinking outside the box enough.
On the subject of screaming/growling style vocals, I swear im really good at it when I've had a few drinks, but occasionally I try and do it in my car when im on my own to save embarrasment, and I just cough my lungs up. Whats the deal there eh? Anyone here mastered the art?
27. writes:
I'm no expert by any degree, but I have a feeling that the sound guys help with some of the screams/growls. Obviously you still have to do it, but I have a feeling the sound guys can help keep you from blowing out your lungs from one song. If I'm wrong, then these guys that have some extreme vocals have some tremendous vocal coards!

I have to share this with you guys! I can no longer keep this in anymore! O.k so I do take the bus. Mainly because I am a bit too flighty in the head due to my past and me behind a 3,000 pound rolling death trap is unsafe for the time being. I was talking to a fellow rider, who I learned also lives in the same apt complex I do. She told me of a guy that for the past I dunno 5 months or so has always just seemed like... well not exactly all there and the type that always gave even me the creeps. He wears H.I.M and B4MV shirts, always has a black trench coat, with long messy blone hair. Apparently as she told me, he was listening to music whatever it maybe and was clentching on a pentagram. He then pulled out a knife and just drags it across his arm as hard as he could! When she told me that all I could do was laugh my a$$ off! What kind of idiot does that on the f***ing bus?! I think that was one of the most pathetic things I ever heard! I totally believe he did it too!

That kid is damaged goods. Keep your distance if you can.
On the subject
I saw something that would make for the best scream video ever.
I caught this local band years ago who were trying to mix industrial with metal-core and since Thursday was the next big thing at the time they were working that vocal angle....
Anyway, the singer thanks everybody for coming drummer does an opening blast--on cue with the guitars the kid screams pretty impressively...for at least 10 seconds....he's turning crimson--then throws up, passes out and collapses in a heap in one flash of motion.
One of the highlights of summer '02....I bet it would be a runner up if someone caught it on tape.

Yeah RM?, I do and always have. The Mike Myers vibe never sat well with me and especially after hearing that story! Even the gansters on the bus looking like they are carrying a tech 9 seem safer! I am always on guard when my gut is telling me to do so and even when not. Your story is pretty intence too! I would have lost it! I cant do people tossing their cookies around me. *shudders* While we are here, how might you be?

I'd have to disagree RM? - ! I believe that across any genre if you are really a fan of music you can appreciate (but you don't have to like) good music, music with focus, integrity, passion etc. whether that's Opeth or Earth (best ambient band evaaa!) Liking Deicide and BFMV is like buying a kindergartener's painting to go along with your Van Gogh. OK, so Deicide ain't no Van Gogh fella but you see my point.

I don't like this band at all but they aren't emo or emo kids so knock it off with that bullsh** labeling. People could as easily accuse corpse paint metalheads or whatever as "f***ing satan worshipping make-up wearing cult fags" aswell... I'm suprised people haven't done that yet.
Former Contributor

phil - most black metal bands are Satan worshipping (lyrically) make-up wearing cult people, the only reason your phrase reads negatively is because you've added 'fags' on the end. People call BFMV emo because they have a lot of musical parallels with bands in the loosely defined but incredible-evidence-none-the-less emo genre. Hail Satan.

ok so this isn't the most imaginative of competitions but it's just a bit of fun. thats what competitions are supposed to be. i'm a massive fan of bullet but i'm not emo in the slightest. besides, if you don't like this band why are you all still on here ranting about it? i don't want a load of people going on at me i'm just saying it's a little pointless.

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHA
THATS AMAZING...LOL...
IM A SCREAMER AND I JUST THINK THAT IS f***ING COOL...
TOO BAD THE BAND IS ON THE LAMMER SIDE OF THE METAL SPECTRUM OF AWESOMENESS....
IF IT WAS ANOTHER BAND THEN SURE I WOULD ENTER...
BUT I AM NOT GOIN TO WASTE MY TIME....

post 55, that's where u'r wrong. People who listen to Black Metal really aren't like that, ofc there are some exceptions but nowadayds, listening to black metal is just another trend like the 'emo' or 'metalcore' ones... Most of the kids who listen to black metal are just a bunch of posers aswell, not any better than the emo scene kids.

you guys are all christians, bullet for my valentine is one of the heaviest metal bands out there...they have alot of talent but your all so blinded by god and your stupid poser metal bands like slayer or cannibal corpse...aiden, norma jean, slipknot, bullet for my valentine, him, and hatebreed are all way heavier bands than them. death to emos and hail satan!

Lol, very funny ^^
@phil - I said bands not fans, and if listening to Emperor and Burzum is a trend these days then I say all power to the kids.
Posers will always be posers no matter what they listen too, and they will always be the enemies of metalheads. Emo has just become a word metalheads use to abuse bands deemed un-metal or as I noted having musical parallel with emo bands. BFMV seemingly has both.
