got to be old school bruce dickinson vocals here nothing beats the iron maiden vocals man it don't matter what anyone says

I would say singing so you could both understand the words and they have a flow that makes the song sound cool. Don't get me wrong, growling, screaming, and all of the above are cool....but I just like Bruce Dickinson so much, and the way he does vocals kicksass.^^ "IE Abduction, Tryanny of Souls and Tatooed Millionare"

Well, I like all of them pretty much. I like Deathy growls, Black rasps and just singing. Some spoken parts I've heard are pretty neat sounding too. The only one out of that list that I actively hate are Core-ish vocals. The 'wla' on the end of every bloody word shits me!

The absolutely best is when many styles are mixed! Screaming/screetching, growling, singing and yelling is the best mix, this is exactly what Marko Annala from the finnish Trash Metal band Mokoma does, I love his vocals!!!

[Rag-doll]

Screams & Gutteral.

Screaching it's very hard to do. I did it for five seconds I was proud.

As we know, there's a bit of technique behind growling and screaming/rasping but I noticed that when you have a cold or when you're drunk even, technique can go out the window. When you're drunk you're throat wont hurt until the next morning, but when you have a cold you throat is really lined, so you can growl away and not have to worry about technique and getting a sore throat. Good for people who can really growl that well.

i yell and do a little death grunts and a couple of shrieks. i sounds like mille petrozza, corpsegrinder, and ishan.

A typical raw black metal voice. Though I like some screaming and screeching, and once in a while some deep, gutteral growls too.

I like a bit long growls, a good example would be mayhem's freezing moon when he sings "moooooewwwnnnnnn".
