@TehCabbinator If we don't all like the same, life stays interesting.... Would get pretty boring if we would all buy and listen to the same stuff......;-) Thanks for the kind comment... \m/ -Ed
@UnidentifiedLifeform Alright!, Yeah Glen does sound awesome with vital remains... And so Genesis from JFC is death metal?...I must say I bought it and listened a couple of songs and dropped it in my collection so I didn't really knew if it was deathcore or not....but thanks for clearing! ;-)
@Serpent1991 Well classic can be good too. It has the same difficulty structure like metal. Thats why classic is the only music that goes together with metal I think.
I just recently stumbled upon your videos and TH-cam channel this week. I really enjoy your thoughts, even if I occasionally disagree. Keep up the good work! I will keep moving through your back catalog of videos. I would like to make one point referring to people who don't wear shoes in bands... Henry Rollins, while not "metal", was well known for not wearing shoes (actually, he didn't wear much beyond his shorts) and he always looked intense and brutal on the stage. Kudos! Keep it up!
Hey Ed. Just checked out the band Kittie that you were talking about. I think that they are really really good. Thanks for showing me and amazing band! Keep up the great videos! :-)
Let's just keep it ( before this turns in a "this drummer is better than that one" discussion" ) that every drummer is different and has his own way of doing it. It's a personal taste. I like Derrek Roddy and Tim Yeung, Nick Barker, and Vitek ( rip ) very much.
@tmib92 These friends of yours?? Wow, never heard of them but I put a song in my favorites and put their name on my 'wannahave cd's ' list. Thanks for that tip!
Im a girl, and I live for metal! Ive been trying to growl and grunt, but I seem to fail at it haha. I do play drums though, and I'm practicing some doublebass pedal
i didnt how to play guitar, bass, drums, etc. until i got a guitar year ago and now i can play a few covers from metal bands and i have made few of my own songs .
I like some bands, but not as much as death metal. Let's see i've got: Dimmu, Dark funeral, Immortal, Onheil ( dutch ) Old man's child....eh i guess thats it.
Well I think you can hear the difference between deathcore played by guys who really like it, or kids who think it's popular. The second kind just isn't brutal enough.
I can't imagine any reason for someone to be ashamed of liking a certain kind of music. Metal (particularly Thrash and also lots of Death Metal) will always be my favourite, but I'm also into Swing, Jazz, Classic Rock, and some Blues, and I'm not ashamed of any of that. I mostly played Swing when I started out drumming, then eventually moved up to playing Thrash. Lots of Metal drummers also play Jazz and Swing.
I like a few Opeth songs. I remember when I was really into Children of Bodom. Not a fan of the newer stuff but I enjoy blasting Follow the Reaper or something wild every now and again.
I've watched a bunch of your videos now, not in any particular order, and I think that you make some really good points and that you are very entertaining to listen to. I wish I knew someone like you. Stay awesome \m/
@mastercrowly Have I said anywhere "You should not wear make-up" etc? No I didn't. I am fully in my right to think about and say about it what I want. But in the meantime everybody should do whatever they want. So I DO let people do what they want. So I should just shut up because others don't wanna hear what I think...I doesn't work like that.
happy holidays man hope everything goes well and i look forward to seeing new videos in the new year hopefully i can get my new cam soon so u can see my little boys reactions to ur growl grunt pig squeal video he loves that video he's 14 months old and already starting to be a metal head cheers
Hm, it works two ways I think. Why spend SO much effort on one person, so far that it even gets on a new album? And on the other hand I would not worry too much if it would be a band like that.
Kittie is pretty good, angela gossow is extremely monitone when she screams i find. bands like the agonist, galhammer, straight line stitch and others also are pretty good with some female vocals and other band members.
Thanx for the Video again man they always Make my Day (: haha and i thought i was the only one who liked to think they could tap there feet to fast drums XD Happy Holidays Ed (:
I never laugh about anyones taste, i'll just say if mine is the same or not. Don't be ashamed to what you listen to. I'll put that in my new video...cause it seems that metalheads have become bashers of 'different' people...while metalheads used to be those 'different' ones.
i like ur videos =D and i can just say, that u´re right i began to growl when i was 6 (now 16) and as my voise went deeper, my growls went better so just carry on like u did ´till yet u´re pure f***ing metal ;-)
what is your opinion on Ayreon/Arjen Lucassen/Ambeon/any other of Arjen's projects? though I typical do not Listen to much "Prog" music these something a bit different about the dude's work
you talk about girls in métal in this video and i know a quite unknown canadian group with a female voice :The Agonist. Don't know if you already heard about this band but i think you eventually could like it. There are not only growling vocals it can seem a little weird but i like it and maybe you can like it too ^^ great job on your videos you seem to be a great guy
Did you here CoB's cover of Aces High then? It's kind'a funny, too. Ten Masked Men is also a funny covering band, quiet funny on any party of metal listeners \m/
Hey, I just wanna thank you for putting my question on your Q&A video! Am I really the only one that asked it? Cuz you said 'there is THAT guy...' that would awesome. I would have been honored to have been named lol But still, thanks a lot to have put my question in your video! Hope to see another vids from you next year! Happy Holidays! Metalheads will never die
i don't like the bands you listen to, but i liek watching your videos because i like the perspectives you have on all the different types of metal there are. =]
Do you like any melodic stuff? I'm sure your hair gets that tangly thing happening to it when you brush it... I'm growing out my beard... does your beard get tangled too?
@Bloodvoyeur if you didnt understand what i said before, its basically painting your nails black doesnt make you gay. its black metal man isnt that what they do
Aeon is fucking brutal, I really hope I get to see those guys. I got 'bleeding the false' and 'Rise to Dominate' from them. Biblewhore is the ringtone on my phone....:-p
I want to know... I am 16 and a HUGE metal fan with bands such as Dethklok, Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth.. I can only perfect my growls to, lets say Whitechapel... I cannot growl/grunt like Amon Amarth! I need to grunt like them. Any way you can help? Please.
for and if you decide to make Q&A # 4 .. ive been told that if you drink somthing it will coat your throat and make you growl/grunt better. is this true? what is the best drink?
@Infidelamsterdam thanks for answering the children of bodom question i'm glad you don't hate them if u are going to do another question and answer i have another one have you ever think of moving to a different place and where would you go?
I guess you already got the answer for this, but yes, Children of Bodom DID a Britney Spears cover :). And now for my question: What singing "type" would fit Alexi's style (CoB) ? I mean, it doesn't seem to be growling nor grunting. At least compared to you or Amon Amarth or any 'brutal' band. I apologize for my english, and hope to hear an answer from you :)
@Infidelamsterdam lol sure thing man, but if ever you fell like it you sould cjec out teir third cd ruination, its waaay better in my opinion and it really shows how they've been able to work out alot of the flaws from their previous cd's
@TehCabbinator
If we don't all like the same, life stays interesting....
Would get pretty boring if we would all buy and listen to the same stuff......;-)
Thanks for the kind comment...
\m/
-Ed
No problem man, just clearing things up...;-)
And thanks for the comment.
@Bloodvoyeur
Will do man, i'll save you question and answer it for ya...;-)
Don't worry it'll be ok...
@UnidentifiedLifeform
Alright!, Yeah Glen does sound awesome with vital remains...
And so Genesis from JFC is death metal?...I must say I bought it and listened a couple of songs and dropped it in my collection so I didn't really knew if it was deathcore or not....but thanks for clearing!
;-)
@Serpent1991
Well classic can be good too.
It has the same difficulty structure like metal.
Thats why classic is the only music that goes together with metal I think.
Hm i didn't think of that one....but you are right.
My girl is into folk lately and I must say that it isn't bad at all.
She loves eluveitie.
;-)
@TheVaryag666
Correct, ;-)
Some words we never use, and so I have you guys to let me know...;-)
Thanks.
@Bloodvoyeur
Alright, but if you want i could make a video answer on this.
;-)
@kaball40
I do have some slipknot cd's in my collection, together with mudvayne and american head charge.
I just recently stumbled upon your videos and TH-cam channel this week. I really enjoy your thoughts, even if I occasionally disagree. Keep up the good work! I will keep moving through your back catalog of videos.
I would like to make one point referring to people who don't wear shoes in bands... Henry Rollins, while not "metal", was well known for not wearing shoes (actually, he didn't wear much beyond his shorts) and he always looked intense and brutal on the stage.
Kudos! Keep it up!
@adamjamesmike
"spheres of madness" is one of my alltime favorite songs.
@thefreighttrainDJZ
Well i cheked them out and the music isn't bad but the vocals are completely noy my thing.
Hey Ed. Just checked out the band Kittie that you were talking about. I think that they are really really good. Thanks for showing me and amazing band! Keep up the great videos! :-)
I'm not a real big folk metal fan, but i like some Eluveitie and that new band Svartot.
Let's just keep it ( before this turns in a "this drummer is better than that one" discussion" ) that every drummer is different and has his own way of doing it. It's a personal taste.
I like Derrek Roddy and Tim Yeung, Nick Barker, and Vitek ( rip ) very much.
I don't know how i got to your channel and I'm not even a metal fan at all, but you got me interested in the arts of metal. Thank you Jesus
Dude, you are amazing. My friends make fun of me for sucking at growling and stuff, but these videos inspire me to keep trying.
If only a small percentage of people shared the same thoughts and mannners of this man. The world would be just fine........
@thefreighttrainDJZ
I'm not really familiar with that term.
You got some band names in that?
@CobHatecrewNor
Ow i like almost every kind of metal.
But the true blasting and low death metal will be my favorite.
Great video. Angela Gossow and Mikael Akerfeldt, top vocalists!.
@tmib92
These friends of yours??
Wow, never heard of them but I put a song in my favorites and put their name on my 'wannahave cd's ' list.
Thanks for that tip!
Im a girl, and I live for metal! Ive been trying to growl and grunt, but I seem to fail at it haha. I do play drums though, and I'm practicing some doublebass pedal
@dazzerman12 no, it's more classified as melodic metal. but i don't bother with sub-genres
i didnt how to play guitar, bass, drums, etc. until i got a guitar year ago and now i can play a few covers from metal bands and i have made few of my own songs .
I like some bands, but not as much as death metal.
Let's see i've got: Dimmu, Dark funeral, Immortal, Onheil ( dutch ) Old man's child....eh i guess thats it.
@NightmareBladez
Wel of all those bands i have at least one cd in my collection...:-p
Well I think you can hear the difference between deathcore played by guys who really like it, or kids who think it's popular.
The second kind just isn't brutal enough.
Die vraag neem ik wel mee in de volgende video...;-)
@NocturnoOcculto
Try to get the sarcasm in my videos...I also have flipflops....
I can't imagine any reason for someone to be ashamed of liking a certain kind of music. Metal (particularly Thrash and also lots of Death Metal) will always be my favourite, but I'm also into Swing, Jazz, Classic Rock, and some Blues, and I'm not ashamed of any of that.

@W3ldnstyl3
A little German and English pretty decent.
;-)
I like a few Opeth songs. I remember when I was really into Children of Bodom. Not a fan of the newer stuff but I enjoy blasting Follow the Reaper or something wild every now and again.
The chick singer I dig the most is Maria Arkhipova from Arkona and her "Masha Scream"
@jingwu42
I seriously doubt that.
I've watched a bunch of your videos now, not in any particular order, and I think that you make some really good points and that you are very entertaining to listen to. I wish I knew someone like you. Stay awesome \m/
@mastercrowly

@CobHatecrewNor
Ghe, I bought Epitaph yeasterday...:-p
happy holidays man hope everything goes well and i look forward to seeing new videos in the new year hopefully i can get my new cam soon so u can see my little boys reactions to ur growl grunt pig squeal video he loves that video he's 14 months old and already starting to be a metal head cheers
Very nice videos :) Merry christmas and happy new year ! enjoy your holidays, you sure deserve to :D
Hahaha thanks for the info...;-)
What type of music would you consider killswitch engage and all that remains???
Well maybe the cover and me looking like Johan, covers that part...;-)
Ghe, dat wist ik idd nog niet.
Bedankt voor de tip!
:-p
Tnx! I'll go check it out...;-)
I think Alexi's more of a mix of screaming and a black metal voice with a growl in it.
Cause he doens't go very low but he does sound pretty mean.
For the record, we (Americans) call it tanning and the bed with the lights a tanning booth/bed. Calling it fake baking also works though.
Hm, it works two ways I think. Why spend SO much effort on one person, so far that it even gets on a new album?
And on the other hand I would not worry too much if it would be a band like that.
AEON!!!!! bleeding the false is excellent!, and their new album path of fire with lowered guitar tune is also perfect! Hail to the great music!
@zalien6
Ghe, i've almost got every album of Iron maiden...:-p
Ghehehe i'll pick a few of those to answer.
;-)
Kittie is pretty good, angela gossow is extremely monitone when she screams i find. bands like the agonist, galhammer, straight line stitch and others also are pretty good with some female vocals and other band members.
I don't know about Children Of Bodom making a Brittany Spears cover, but I Set My Friends On Fire did. They also made a Soulja Boy cover.
Thank you for answering my instrument question. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one who asked you already! hahaha
Thanx for the Video again man they always Make my Day (: haha and i thought i was the only one who liked to think they could tap there feet to fast drums XD
Happy Holidays Ed (:
You've got some awesome vids there man, I subscribed.
And you kinda remind me of Mark from Suicide Silence
I never laugh about anyones taste, i'll just say if mine is the same or not.
Don't be ashamed to what you listen to.
I'll put that in my new video...cause it seems that metalheads have become bashers of 'different' people...while metalheads used to be those 'different' ones.
I take those with me for the next vid...;-)
@IwarnU1617
I really don't think so.
O I wasn't really serious about it, more of a warining that I will use their video's.....:-p
Hey Ed, I've never heard you talk about Vader. What's your opinion on them? They're one of my favourite DM bands...
That vocalist for vader sucks balls but awesome riffs
Job for a cowboy isnt anymore a deathcore band, they used to be only in the Doom EP. The rest of their albums are technical deathmetal.
Machine head :D
nice, Hate Eternal is one of my favourite death bands too, saw them live
i like ur videos =D
and i can just say, that u´re right
i began to growl when i was 6 (now 16)
and as my voise went deeper, my growls went better
so just carry on like u did ´till yet
u´re pure f***ing metal ;-)
what is your opinion on Ayreon/Arjen Lucassen/Ambeon/any other of Arjen's projects? though I typical do not Listen to much "Prog" music these something a bit different about the dude's work
Awesome New Vid Dude !!!
Happy holidays to u too man ! :P
you talk about girls in métal in this video and i know a quite unknown canadian group with a female voice :The Agonist. Don't know if you already heard about this band but i think you eventually could like it. There are not only growling vocals it can seem a little weird but i like it and maybe you can like it too ^^
great job on your videos you seem to be a great guy
"Solar benches" Haha. Tanning beds, and yeah, I agree. Dudes just shouldn't do that... save that for the barbie doll girls.
I hope that, that question isn't really for me.
I have no idea, i don't hear the difference and don't know whats better to play.
Did you here CoB's cover of Aces High then? It's kind'a funny, too.
Ten Masked Men is also a funny covering band, quiet funny on any party of metal listeners \m/
@CobHatecrewNor
I got one cd of them, it;s 'Onset Of Putrefaction'
Hey, I just wanna thank you for putting my question on your Q&A video!
Am I really the only one that asked it? Cuz you said 'there is THAT guy...' that would awesome.
I would have been honored to have been named lol
But still, thanks a lot to have put my question in your video!
Hope to see another vids from you next year!
Happy Holidays!
Metalheads will never die
LOLOL "Living in Amsterdam is equal to smoking pot" HAHAHAHA! Best quote ever!!
i don't like the bands you listen to, but i liek watching your videos because i like the perspectives you have on all the different types of metal there are. =]
One of my favorite bands of all time.
You sir are a genius. Happy xmas and new year. Have a good one! See ya 2010!
About the female vocalists in metal bands, I think the band called 'The Agonist' is amazing, the female vocalist does an amazing job.
I love Metal period. Some better then others. Do you like Arch Enemy?
How about Carcass? :)
Just finished buying all the albums :D
Metallica....Old Metallica ^^ :D,
SYL is quite alright indeed.
Got two cd's of em....;-)
Do you like any melodic stuff?
I'm sure your hair gets that tangly thing happening to it when you brush it... I'm growing out my beard... does your beard get tangled too?
@Bloodvoyeur if you didnt understand what i said before, its basically painting your nails black doesnt make you gay. its black metal man isnt that what they do
What do you think of Between the Buried and Me or Opeth?
The bass player from all that remains is a woman, and the vocalist for abnormality is a woman as well, your videos are awesome!
do you like IRON MAIDEN? i know it is not on the same music genre that you enjoy most but pretty much every metal head has at least one maiden album
@EagleSwastik
You really don't get it do you?
There's a band from Austria, I'm not sure about the name but as I remember it, its called "beingkilled" a brutal death band
Aeon is fucking brutal, I really hope I get to see those guys.
I got 'bleeding the false' and 'Rise to Dominate' from them.
Biblewhore is the ringtone on my phone....:-p
I want to know... I am 16 and a HUGE metal fan with bands such as Dethklok, Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth.. I can only perfect my growls to, lets say Whitechapel... I cannot growl/grunt like Amon Amarth! I need to grunt like them. Any way you can help? Please.
Just wondering what do you think of the band Rammstein? Thanks
for and if you decide to make Q&A # 4 .. ive been told that if you drink somthing it will coat your throat and make you growl/grunt better. is this true? what is the best drink?
@Infidelamsterdam thanks for answering the children of bodom question i'm glad you don't hate them if u are going to do another question and answer i have another one have you ever think of moving to a different place and where would you go?
@Infidelamsterdam Impending Doom is a christian death metal band, they do all kinds of grunting/growling/pigsqueals
Smoonegrri. Look her up. She has some of the best vocals I've heard from a woman.
I guess you already got the answer for this, but yes, Children of Bodom DID a Britney Spears cover :).
And now for my question: What singing "type" would fit Alexi's style (CoB) ? I mean, it doesn't seem to be growling nor grunting. At least compared to you or Amon Amarth or any 'brutal' band.
I apologize for my english, and hope to hear an answer from you :)
You have no idea how fucking happy I was when you said Machine Head.
@ Infidelamsterdam...Hi there, In regards to what death metal bands that you like, what is your opinion of Nile?
Great vids man,
@Infidelamsterdam lol sure thing man, but if ever you fell like it you sould cjec out teir third cd ruination, its waaay better in my opinion and it really shows how they've been able to work out alot of the flaws from their previous cd's
