+Lou Dicks im not a fucking singer, in guitarrist, but i can see that is not easy, and maybe isnt special do it, but is difficult, and also sing pop or other things like that arent special, and the most people who go to this program do it, but that is the comercial shit and people like it, and like i said is nothing special, a lot of people do it, but what? the fact that is nothing special doesnt means that is not difficult do it.
I thought he was decent at those growls. I think the judges and the crowd need to accept that basic pop music isn't the only genre in the world. They're just pressing the button because it's not their taste of music?
The X Factor/Got Talent audience are the lowest common denominator. It's hard for people with the IQ of an onion to grasp anything outside of 4 chords and a catchy vocal hook. In saying that, this wasn't a tremendous performance by any means. It wasn't bad at all, but because it's so out of place on a show like this, as a metal fan, it gives a kinda illusive effect that makes you believe it was better than it actually was.
This dude wasn't amazing but it was still pretty good. It's fucked up how most people don't understand that metal vocals actually take some fucking talent. This is also why I hate talent shows.
Troy Baker Of course he did not have the ideal of the original better. But this is my favorite band and I can forgive him for that. I did not expect that his throw. Every pop pass only. And so in all around the world show the same pop.
Troy Baker I know! The shows are all the same songs and no new talent has actually come through them. They all sound the same. This guy wasn't brilliant but he did far better than I ever could and I wouldn't blame hi if he slapped that simon dude with a frying pan. At least that would be more amusing than his commentary.
in here, Hungary it were a guy who sang Blessthefall and a girl who sang Asking Alexandria :D ps: sorry for my bad english, i've never lerned in school -.-" ... must lerned to german language, but i hope you understand this :D
thetruelie You're God damn rigtht, like saying "I once played Guitar Hero" to a guitarist, I mean it's not bad but it's more of a imitation than being the thing...
+thetruelie I get the impression when she says she's a Marilyn Manson fan what she means is she once heard 1 of his songs and thought "this is alright".
why are these people so horrified ?! This is a normal music genre ? And the audience looks at him like he killed 10 people with a banana on stage .. Ignorant world.
+Drummer4Liife They are the usual ignorant idiots, so used to the brainless generic pop that comes out of the radio over and over and over again, with mostly only one line and sound repeated endlessly. The same face i make when i hear some (most) of the "popular" pop/rap songs in the radio.
this makes me cry. talent shows are literally nothing about talent. his cover of parkway is great but just because of the genre of music, its not accepted sigh
Jakob Flores stop being a fucking emo, firstly that was deathcore, not metal. secondly the world doesnt 'hate metal' its actually pretty popular. thirdly if your going to go on a POP show then dont expect to get threw when you dont sing pop, its a simple as that, sick of all you emo's trying to act different and act like every fucker on the face of the earth hates the music you listen too
+papakfmcnados king Agreed, he needs to keep working on it but shit... he wasn't bad. Idk what he was thinking trying out on this show though, lol. Maybe if he knew how to sing...start off with the metal vox and surprise the hell out of the judges with clean singing.
+Christopher Phillips He probably went out on to this show and performed Parkway Drive to point the middle at this sorry excuse for entertainment, in a figurative sense.
Simon V. V. One of my favorites that people say is "Oh they're just yelling into a microphone, that takes no skill" but the reality is that if that were the case, which it is not, metal singers wouldn't even finish songs live before being completely mute. They would permanently damage their vocal chords. It takes patience, and developed skill to do that.
It might not appeal to the judges but that was fucking good, obviously done by a professional. They should've at least acknowledged his talent even though it's not the genre they're looking for. Idiots.
This guy is a champ! He got up there and did his thing, not giving an F about the judges. He knew all too well that the judges would sack him. I am a bit disappointed that the judges didn't respect his work at all, they were just making fun of the lad. It shows how they don't know sh-t about how focking hard it is to master a decent growl or grunt or whatsoever. I liked the performance, especially his choice of song ;) Parkway Drive is my favourite band of all time so thumbs up for this guy! F-ck the haters
1:28 look at those faces. I feel so bad for the guy, at the same time, he carried the flag into battle, that's Metal attitude. Thank you man. And for these assholes brainwashed people, thank you for show your ignorance, prejudice, you make me feel more proud to be a metalhead. Keep living your life as a cattle, your son of a bitch.
+Sean Ellis dude what ass holes fuck that whole audience and judge panel because its not the music they like lol what are they judging on pop only how sad the world is to not open the horizons to metal great job man keep doing what you do parkway drive 4L
Soooooo they all laugh at him but then when he leaves everyone applauds? Such a hypocritical program, damn, and talk about little to none musical knowledge. It's like they heard an alien sing. They consider themselves musical judges? In order to judge one must know what he/she is judging. They are not professionals, they are utter ignorants.
That's the problem with talent shows like this. They're accustomed to hearing mainstream music. Pretty disgraceful as far as I'm concerned because there are bands out their that could make a statement on one of these shows but then you have gobshite judges sitting behind the table expecting you to sing If by the off chance that a band performs on this show, plays a Parkway Drive song, does it really well but they still get turned down....then that is an absolute fucking disgrace to music! You have these people who call themselves "judges" but they don't even know what to look out for within this style of music. They only listen for the sound and nothing else. It's a joke!
Honestly this just makes me love metal even more. If the judges sat down and looked at the lyrics of this song compared to all the other crap that pop songs have then they would realize there’s a million times more emotion and passion in this song than some stupid love ballad that’s been done a thousand times. This song talks about real issues that are happening in the world and it makes me sad that nobody takes him seriously or realizes how much thought is put into this music rather than just random screams.
"My ears are bleeding" *Everyone laughs* If she said that to a pop singer she would've gotten boo'ed lmao. Gotta love the double standard. This is why I stopped watching Got Talent shows. Regardless this dude was awesome, confident the whole time. If it was me I would've had 0 self esteem left lol.
it just shows how this world and how reality TV is very biased towards something that is "normal" and that it is filtered towards the type of genres that does really require much talent at all. they should just rename the whole "...got talent" franchise to "...got mainstream" or "...got Pop" or some shit. this is just embarrassing the poor guy in front of millions of people brutally instead of being fair on talent.
Alan Flindell I agree, You have to remember that these people are all about money in the end. They do not care about actual art, They like artificial songs that have 27 writers.
Alan Flindell I think that in order to break through to other people he would have needed a full band. Its hard to sell just the lyrics you need the whole package.
XLilMansonPeepX that goes to show the ABSOLUTE lack of knowledge that these fuckheads have about Metal... if they even cared to do at least a little bit of digging into Metal they might appreciate the art a bit more.
They are so ignorant, they don't know anything and there they are rolling their eyes like this guy is crazy. Not a fan of Parkway Drive but I rather my kids listen to then than some rap crap full of negative messages. Also, Parkway Drive are some of the nicest dudes in the business, super down to earth and cool.
This is where the world of music and music industry is going. Refusing everything new, every new sound. Laying in their dust-filled armchairs listening to the same kind old shit pop. They didn't even tried to ask him what genre was singing because they had none interest in selling his music. They prefer little teenagers like 1D to sell their music and gain billions. They keep polluting with their anti-emotional shit.
I don't necessarily listen to metal or enjoy it, but I understand the effort that goes into it. Besides, people that win on this show don't even go very far. Also when the judges like someone they always say, "That's the best voice I've ever heard on this show." They say it every year, it's pointless.
TV just keeps sinking lower and lower in my eyes. The guy was genuinely good, and the choice of song was spot on. Indeed, what WILL they tell their children?
I think if I were him, I would've politely asked their reasoning. Regardless of whether they like the genre of music (which I presume they most likely don't), the show is Britain's Got Talent. Again, even if you don't like the sound of his vocal style, to actually perform like that takes control, practice, time and skill. The judges' reasoning would probably be that they can't make his voice appeal to the masses and so they won't be able to rake in money generated from the show or any resulting record deals with this contestant. I'm interested at how they would hide that reasoning in their responses.
This stuff is amazing, keep on going lad! Much luck wished upon your journey to become a badass vocalist of wich i'm sure u have everything u need to get there. It makes me sad how much people dislike the genre and true, it's not for everyone, but for the people that do appreciate it, as for myself. It gave me the chills in a good way! Hats off!
Bro thats the best audition I've seen in years lol there needs to be more of this lmao props to the man for having a pair to go up there and perform to the pop world
It takes talent to scream like that, but the fact that he put himself out there and the judges made fun of him. A label will see this and will probably pick him up. Because it obviously wasn't about making on bullshits got talent. It wants to do metal core, it's not about the fame or the money it's about the music. People listen to it and he can make a good living doin it. So good for you my friend.
I agree, like I said in an earlier comment; most people that even win on these types of shows don't even go very far. A few song here and there on iTunes, but that's it. People forget past winners anyways, but because he put himself out there with a different performance than the usual acts I'm sure he'll get noticed by the right crowds :)
These judges are hypocrites! They're supposed to be open to all kinds of talent yet they refuse to accept metal core as a serious genre. They didn't even consider the difficulty of screaming in pitch. If this vocalist had been a homosexual man dressed in drag they wouldn't have hit the buttons.
Its a genera and life style for that matter that just doesn't belong in that world. Music that has feeling..real emotion...and a true meaningfulness....where the fuck is the money in that?
I Am i agree, to be honest i found his growls not bad but his 'normal' range to be a bit under developed the judges shut him down for the wrong reasons though
Yeah not everybody likes the music people sing on these talent shows. I am just disappointed that somebody can get kicked off of a show for singing different. I am not a vocalist I am a guitar player but I know enough about the vocals to say it takes more mastery than any of the other genres anybody on the show was singing.
I hope a band sees this and picks him up to be their vocalist, because he's actually not bad and has the stage presence. Too bad BGT is so biased and ignorant against different music acts that aren't pop.
He’s a great one, he doesn’t care at all about what people think. Gg to you, respect for singing that kind of music in front of all of these fans of pop music
actually he has a good performance (only his highs need more work) but i think he's wasting his talent in that shitty show when the judges don't have any fucking idea about those kind of vocals... in my opinion what he should do is start a band or make some covers on youtube
Mark De Laak honestly they wouldn't even know who he is I gurantee it nobody on this show would they wanna see the same shit covers of adele and Rihanna to them thats music apparently lol
I cant understand why the people in the audience and the judges find this so shocking ;O Well I kinda do understand because NO music on the radio is like this but like comooon its not THAT fkn "surprising". like yes this is what some people call music and yes it DOES exist. This guy has much more talent than a person who can sing "normally". This is so hard to manage, so well done to him :D
Look I don't love Metal, don't dislike it either. I'll listen to a song or two and then leave it at that. Not my kind of music but I can appreciate the music if it is good. I generally prefer Alternative rock, good ol' Psychedelic, Progressive, Jazz, Soundtracks/Orchestral, and Pop. I do not approve of any talent contest reality shows. They are nothing but schemes to create more revenue for the label that runs it by making contestants sings songs they own the rights to so they get paid by television stations but don't have to pay royalties to other labels. In the end the naive contestant gets screwed over and 9 times out of 10 never amounts to anything. Having said all that, it is amusing how narrow minded these judges are. They are supposed to know music. Well it turns out they don't know shit. Why would anyone subject themselves to this treatment from people who don't even know what they're talking about? Just to give you some perspective here, it could be much worse. Remember Nicki Minaj was a judge on one of these types of shows, and so was Jennifer Lopez. A great representation of "TALLENT" there.
Abandoned Elysium Haha, technically speaking I am involved with the music industry. I work as a session musician in Australia. Also working on getting a masters in education so I can teach. I do write, record and perform my own material in a group, mind you we aren't that successful... yet... fingers crossed :)
***** Again mate, I'm not too into Metal. The only band that comes close that I like and know songs of is Karnivool. They are a pretty sweet band. Personally as far as Aussie acts are concerned my top 5 choices are: Birds of Tokyo, Powerfinger, Kate Miller-Heidke, Missy Higgins, Vance Joy.
Macconator2010 if you are into progressive music but have trouble getting into metal, i would recommend opeth and their album watershed, i think you might enjoy it.
Your a Deadset legend mate, me and my mates where young but parkway had just came out and we would go to every gig we could when they played near us. But back then you stage dive and the energy they brought out of everyone was insane I loved it, they are legends in Australia 🤟🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
it pisses me off when they take the piss of this cuz I'm a vocalist myself and it took me 5 years to learn and that pretty much says they know nothing about music apart from pop or opera type of music. they should study metal
Nick emo4evershall love the others I think Corey Taylor should be one of the judges on a show like this, I think it'd be fucking awesome and at least he'd give guys like this a chance.
This is honestly stupid, these people have no idea how much talent and skill it takes to scream, his tone actually reminds me of Mitch Lucker formerly of Suicide Silence (RIP buddy, we miss you ❤️)
Props to you dude. You went out there and gave it your best knowing that people will react the way they did. I love Parkway drive I don't care what anyone says, bonus points for covering em! Cheers from Toronto.
I would have given this man a round of applause if I was there. That took a lot of courage to get up on that stage especially on a show like Britain's Got Talent.
I remember this. I couldn’t even finish watching those “judges” just out him simply because they don’t like the style of music. It’s the best genre in my opinion and it definitely helps relieve oneself of a whole lot of aggression, especially as a young teenager. You’ll sure pass if you look and sound like a Barbie though! #metalcore4lifeee
This is what happens when metal heads get separated from the group
4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Went on stage and shut the shit down. The audience was shook. Didn’t know what hit them jaws dropped. The dude killed it. So sick. He’s got major balls
I'll never understand why people will try to bring alternative music on a show that celebrates pop mediocrity. The whole point of most aggressive music is that it rejects societal conventions (like this show) and shows we don't need them. When people do this they're doing it for a reaction, and that reaction isn't "look at how cool and different and interesting this music is" the reaction is "look at that freak, let's have a laugh at them and how offended and uncomfortable all the normal people look".
I love all the peoples reactions, like this guy is the devil in disguise. Why are people looking so shocked? He didn't do anything wrong.....Conforming at its finest, makes me so irritated.
It wouldn't make a difference. If he's going to cover a song with those type of vocals he needs a band to back him up. It'll likely come across less awkward for the audience. Plus I think if you're ever going to cover a Parkway Drive song in a competition like this, you need to choose a song by them that has a guitar intro...at least then you'll probably be catching the audiences attention. Even though the chances of making it past the auditions with covering Parkway Drive songs are slim, I would've chosen songs like: A Deathless Song, Horizons, Alone, yes- Vice Grip could of been another one, The River or Destroyer.
God that vocal is amazing to have I’m impressed and m8 doing a parkway drive cover big move I love it also that dude got a better chance on his own band and be better then the judge most metal bands are more popular then the judges 😂
How many singers can do this kind of music? Not many, and therefore this is talent.
+Callum Russell Actually a lot, you just have to practice a lot. But yeh it totally is an awesome talent
+Callum Russell so true
+Callum Russell A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN. THIS IS NOT TALENT. It's simple.
+Lou Dicks im not a fucking singer, in guitarrist, but i can see that is not easy, and maybe isnt special do it, but is difficult, and also sing pop or other things like that arent special, and the most people who go to this program do it, but that is the comercial shit and people like it, and like i said is nothing special, a lot of people do it, but what? the fact that is nothing special doesnt means that is not difficult do it.
Warfighter556 Guitar takes more skill and practice. Guitar is respectable
It takes far more talent to growl like that, then to sing like half the garbage that gets through these compititions.
Zeke exactly, to be able to perform the correct technique for them growls or any type of growls takes alot of practice.. And not everyone can do it.
Down & Dirty?
& whats sad is this talent show doesn't know what real music & talent is
firstly, no talent, but hard work and practice
and secondly, the dude was actually doing it wrong at some point
Those deep growls were damn impressive!!!
I thought he was decent at those growls. I think the judges and the crowd need to accept that basic pop music isn't the only genre in the world. They're just pressing the button because it's not their taste of music?
mt2oo8 you hit the nail on the head, pop music is not the be all and end all
This is why pop music normie trash people piss me off.
The X Factor/Got Talent audience are the lowest common denominator. It's hard for people with the IQ of an onion to grasp anything outside of 4 chords and a catchy vocal hook.

It wasn't bad at all, but because it's so out of place on a show like this, as a metal fan, it gives a kinda illusive effect that makes you believe it was better than it actually was.
Pretty much, these assholes just can't appreciate anything that they wouldn't normally get into
True!
wrong audience for a great song
yeah
Yeah totally
That's true
They even don't what is a metal genre
Damn yes.
This dude wasn't amazing but it was still pretty good. It's fucked up how most people don't understand that metal vocals actually take some fucking talent. This is also why I hate talent shows.
Troy Baker TBH no one cares. It's a pop talent show, he knew what he was in for.
Anklebreakerize He still had the balls to go out there and do it. I sure as hell wouldn't have.
Troy Baker Of course he did not have the ideal of the original better. But this is my favorite band and I can forgive him for that. I did not expect that his throw. Every pop pass only. And so in all around the world show the same pop.

Troy Baker I know! The shows are all the same songs and no new talent has actually come through them. They all sound the same. This guy wasn't brilliant but he did far better than I ever could and I wouldn't blame hi if he slapped that simon dude with a frying pan. At least that would be more amusing than his commentary.
A talent show that does not recognize talent? #ironic
this guy at least has the balls to do that on tv
Verryy true
+Tim Mollen I think he did it because of the message of the song? haha
+blau bear 🐻 he still has the balls
in here, Hungary it were a guy who sang Blessthefall and a girl who sang Asking Alexandria :D
ps: sorry for my bad english, i've never lerned in school -.-" ... must lerned to german language, but i hope you understand this :D
+Zelei Szabolcs can u post the links please
The way that Amanda Hoban tried to bring up Marylin Manson as a way to try to relate to a metalcore song makes me cringe on the highest level.
Tyler Jones SAME
Tyler Jones same
Tyler Jones i hate that bitch
Just look at his face when she says that shes a fan of Marylin...
At least she didn’t say Nickleback
saying "I'm actually a Marilyn Manson fan" to a fan of metal is like saying "I actually play Candy Crush" to a gamer.
thetruelie so much truth in this damn comment
thetruelie You're God damn rigtht, like saying "I once played Guitar Hero" to a guitarist, I mean it's not bad but it's more of a imitation than being the thing...
thetruelie Exactly !
+thetruelie I get the impression when she says she's a Marilyn Manson fan what she means is she once heard 1 of his songs and thought "this is alright".
Fuck deep web and all it's truths. This is the truest thing you'll ever read online.
Balls of steel, respect.
+Sean Ellis Good job man, you screamed fucking well, just ashame that mainstream media has taken over musical talent, you've got talent bro.
why are these people so horrified ?!
This is a normal music genre ?
And the audience looks at him like he killed 10 people with a banana on stage ..
Ignorant world.
Seriously... just show anyone you listen to metal and they think your the son of satan and secretly a serial killer
+Alejandro Giraldo you're
+Brendan Horner Exactly!
+Brendan Horner Right you are
+Drummer4Liife They are the usual ignorant idiots, so used to the brainless generic pop that comes out of the radio over and over and over again, with mostly only one line and sound repeated endlessly.
The same face i make when i hear some (most) of the "popular" pop/rap songs in the radio.
this makes me cry. talent shows are literally nothing about talent. his cover of parkway is great but just because of the genre of music, its not accepted sigh
+Sean Ellis HAHA! Dude that was so awesome of you to go up there xD
Totally not fitting for mainstream television shows. Loved it! \m/
I agree it's good fucking talent it annoys me when they just want pop music it's so frustrating that they disrespect this music
I doubt it made you cry.
@Sean Ellis honestly if i could...i would've gotten on stage with you man you were really good fuck that show...you can do much better
the world is never prepared for metal music
My neighbors are always prepared
Never
Agreed...
Yesh
that was actually good, to bad the world hates metal
True...
who fucking cares about the world, metal inside metal for life :P
Jakob Flores he's terrible. great song but holy fucking terrible.
FL3M SH4DY okay your right lol
Jakob Flores stop being a fucking emo, firstly that was deathcore, not metal. secondly the world doesnt 'hate metal' its actually pretty popular. thirdly if your going to go on a POP show then dont expect to get threw when you dont sing pop, its a simple as that, sick of all you emo's trying to act different and act like every fucker on the face of the earth hates the music you listen too
to be fair the low growls are pretty damn good
+papakfmcnados king Agreed, he needs to keep working on it but shit... he wasn't bad. Idk what he was thinking trying out on this show though, lol. Maybe if he knew how to sing...start off with the metal vox and surprise the hell out of the judges with clean singing.
+Christopher Phillips He probably went out on to this show and performed Parkway Drive to point the middle at this sorry excuse for entertainment, in a figurative sense.
+Icy Winter There are a lot of people that do this, But not many actually get to the TV portion on stage.
+papakfmcnados king we all heard yo mama has better
+papakfmcnados king fuck yeah it was just needed more practice
Those judges robbed him and he politely walked off like a true gentleman. We need more people like this. (Btw parkway drive is badass gg)
+Pepe Returns most metal heads are like this tho. me included
I think it would've been smarter to go with a lighter song like Vice Grip, Carrion, Wild Eyes, etc. or instead of Parkway, 5FDP.
Sean Ellis Oh, lol I didn't check the release date on the video.
+L'appel Du Vide OFFICIAL ey b0ss
MrBombastic799 Carrion isn’t light
"What the hell was that?!!!" - It is a little thing called music being delivered with passion.
As a Parkway Drive Fans I can Proudly say that This was an Awesome Performance/cover.
Yes! He fucking killed it!
And Dark Days is one of my favorites!
People dont know how dificult this is...
much bear exactly man!! its annoying that most think its just yelling and screaming.. i cant do any of the growls and lows etc its fucking hard
much bear totally...
brock graham is like: "uh, wtf is this, is just screaming, do u understand what is he saying?" gaddemn man read the fucking lyrics u shithead

Exactly,I also felt proud for listening to this genre after this video!
How do you say it in English (not American), arseholes? That's the crowd.
Soooooo they all laugh at him but then when he leaves everyone applauds?
Such a hypocritical program, damn, and talk about little to none musical knowledge. It's like they heard an alien sing. They consider themselves musical judges? In order to judge one must know what he/she is judging. They are not professionals, they are utter ignorants.
exactly its like they didnt even recognize there's a genre that sounds like that, and that it needs even MORE talent to be a metal vocalist
That's the problem with talent shows like this. They're accustomed to hearing mainstream music. Pretty disgraceful as far as I'm concerned because there are bands out their that could make a statement on one of these shows but then you have gobshite judges sitting behind the table expecting you to sing

***** For metal, yes they are mainstream. For music in general, no they're not.

They all lookin like he's tryna summon Satan but in reality this wasn't that bad lmaoooooo
Which is odd since this song is about how humans are destroying the world and as this is to try to prevent it from happening
the audience just like "why not covering a song from Killing with a Smile?"
Hah true :D
Daaaaamn... right at the breakdown... -.-
Congratulations man, that was awesome. Ignore those stupid judges and that audience...oh and that annoying man with his phone acting like an idiot...
Marilyn manson sounds nothing like that Amanda!

If you can't sell it, it's not talent... apparently
Noah Harned tell that to parkway. Lol. Watch their Wacken live performance video.
They are so ignorant, they don't know anything and there they are rolling their eyes like this guy is crazy. Not a fan of Parkway Drive but I rather my kids listen to then than some rap crap full of negative messages. Also, Parkway Drive are some of the nicest dudes in the business, super down to earth and cool.
this was actually really good, the highs were a little off but lows on point. Britain doesn't like metal. I was waiting for 1 person clapping
Shane Embry Yo man, I get what you saying but the bit about Britain not liking metal is wrong. I love metal.
Shane Embry i would be that one person clapping 😂
Shane Embry Parkway has a massive following there compared to America lol. Especially compared to Utah, it's sad times for a metalhead.
Many top metal band are from England, so i disagree if Britain don't like metal
This guy slays. This totally made my day. \m/
poor guy he was good IMO.
props to the guy, hes got balls doing that on such a "pop culture" dominated show
Mate, you got respect from millions of metalcore fan. You made us all proud.
This is where the world of music and music industry is going. Refusing everything new, every new sound. Laying in their dust-filled armchairs listening to the same kind old shit pop. They didn't even tried to ask him what genre was singing because they had none interest in selling his music. They prefer little teenagers like 1D to sell their music and gain billions. They keep polluting with their anti-emotional shit.
I don't necessarily listen to metal or enjoy it, but I understand the effort that goes into it.
Besides, people that win on this show don't even go very far. Also when the judges like someone they always say, "That's the best voice I've ever heard on this show." They say it every year, it's pointless.
TV just keeps sinking lower and lower in my eyes. The guy was genuinely good, and the choice of song was spot on. Indeed, what WILL they tell their children?
Funny how the judges almost immediately hated the song, makes it seems they want to WATCH THE WORLD BURN!!! XD
I think if I were him, I would've politely asked their reasoning. Regardless of whether they like the genre of music (which I presume they most likely don't), the show is Britain's Got Talent. Again, even if you don't like the sound of his vocal style, to actually perform like that takes control, practice, time and skill.
The judges' reasoning would probably be that they can't make his voice appeal to the masses and so they won't be able to rake in money generated from the show or any resulting record deals with this contestant. I'm interested at how they would hide that reasoning in their responses.
+Sean Ellis Are you THE Sean Ellis?
Sean Ellis
Does the edit differ much from what happened on the day? That's something that I've always been kinda interested in.
+Sean Ellis Begin please,would be really nice :)
greetings from germany!
+Sean Ellis I knew it!! Props dude for going up there like a bad ass, Sucks that the general public is so damn ignorant theses days :P
indeed!!
This stuff is amazing, keep on going lad! Much luck wished upon your journey to become a badass vocalist of wich i'm sure u have everything u need to get there. It makes me sad how much people dislike the genre and true, it's not for everyone, but for the people that do appreciate it, as for myself. It gave me the chills in a good way! Hats off!
He should of done wild eyes
Or karma
+ross john It would of made more sense for him to do this with a band. Doing a vocal cover of this style is more awkward.
+ross john CARRION! ;)
+Masquerade Life if he would done carrion, that could possibly be the best addition ever
+ross john nah he shouldve done deliver me!
Bro thats the best audition I've seen in years lol there needs to be more of this lmao props to the man for having a pair to go up there and perform to the pop world
It takes talent to scream like that, but the fact that he put himself out there and the judges made fun of him. A label will see this and will probably pick him up. Because it obviously wasn't about making on bullshits got talent. It wants to do metal core, it's not about the fame or the money it's about the music. People listen to it and he can make a good living doin it. So good for you my friend.
I agree, like I said in an earlier comment; most people that even win on these types of shows don't even go very far. A few song here and there on iTunes, but that's it. People forget past winners anyways, but because he put himself out there with a different performance than the usual acts I'm sure he'll get noticed by the right crowds :)
Jesse Parker Winston gave him a shoutout on Instagram so i think that should give him a bit of a boost
Wow, his low growls are awesome. What a champion.
These judges are hypocrites! They're supposed to be open to all kinds of talent yet they refuse to accept metal core as a serious genre. They didn't even consider the difficulty of screaming in pitch. If this vocalist had been a homosexual man dressed in drag they wouldn't have hit the buttons.
Awesome voice! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😎😎😎😎Great talent! He's really awesome! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😎😎😎😎😎
I'd start a pit.
I got feelings for you bro not everyone can understand the variation of metalcore
Its a genera and life style for that matter that just doesn't belong in that world. Music that has feeling..real emotion...and a true meaningfulness....where the fuck is the money in that?
He's got a pretty decent growl but his regular screams aren't /that/ great
Nah both are good
I Am i agree, to be honest i found his growls not bad but his 'normal' range to be a bit under developed
the judges shut him down for the wrong reasons though
Winston seemed to like it, said he had a lot of balls to take their music to a show like that =P
They shouldn't be able to kick somebody off the show because of the type of music. At least somebody came on the show and sang something good.
Yeah not everybody likes the music people sing on these talent shows. I am just disappointed that somebody can get kicked off of a show for singing different. I am not a vocalist I am a guitar player but I know enough about the vocals to say it takes more mastery than any of the other genres anybody on the show was singing.
I hope a band sees this and picks him up to be their vocalist, because he's actually not bad and has the stage presence. Too bad BGT is so biased and ignorant against different music acts that aren't pop.
He’s a great one, he doesn’t care at all about what people think. Gg to you, respect for singing that kind of music in front of all of these fans of pop music
actually he has a good performance (only his highs need more work) but i think he's wasting his talent in that shitty show when the judges don't have any fucking idea about those kind of vocals... in my opinion what he should do is start a band or make some covers on youtube
he voice just needs to mature a little more.
indeed
Im curious how te people would react if winston does the same thing
Mark De Laak honestly they wouldn't even know who he is I gurantee it nobody on this show would they wanna see the same shit covers of adele and Rihanna to them thats music apparently lol
zach Oblak jup, they wanna hear miley cirus bullshit
Proves Britain's got talent is pure mainstream and crazy
I mean crap
I cant understand why the people in the audience and the judges find this so shocking ;O Well I kinda do understand because NO music on the radio is like this but like comooon its not THAT fkn "surprising". like yes this is what some people call music and yes it DOES exist. This guy has much more talent than a person who can sing "normally". This is so hard to manage, so well done to him :D
My respect this guy🤘🤘🤘
Look I don't love Metal, don't dislike it either. I'll listen to a song or two and then leave it at that. Not my kind of music but I can appreciate the music if it is good. I generally prefer Alternative rock, good ol' Psychedelic, Progressive, Jazz, Soundtracks/Orchestral, and Pop.
I do not approve of any talent contest reality shows. They are nothing but schemes to create more revenue for the label that runs it by making contestants sings songs they own the rights to so they get paid by television stations but don't have to pay royalties to other labels. In the end the naive contestant gets screwed over and 9 times out of 10 never amounts to anything.
Having said all that, it is amusing how narrow minded these judges are. They are supposed to know music. Well it turns out they don't know shit. Why would anyone subject themselves to this treatment from people who don't even know what they're talking about? Just to give you some perspective here, it could be much worse. Remember Nicki Minaj was a judge on one of these types of shows, and so was Jennifer Lopez. A great representation of "TALLENT" there.
Macconator2010 We need more people like you in this industry!
Abandoned Elysium Haha, technically speaking I am involved with the music industry. I work as a session musician in Australia. Also working on getting a masters in education so I can teach. I do write, record and perform my own material in a group, mind you we aren't that successful... yet... fingers crossed :)
***** Again mate, I'm not too into Metal. The only band that comes close that I like and know songs of is Karnivool. They are a pretty sweet band. Personally as far as Aussie acts are concerned my top 5 choices are: Birds of Tokyo, Powerfinger, Kate Miller-Heidke, Missy Higgins, Vance Joy.
***** Parkway Drive ! :)
Macconator2010 if you are into progressive music but have trouble getting into metal, i would recommend opeth and their album watershed, i think you might enjoy it.
They have no clue of Metal ❤️❤️❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Irony that the guy at 1:03 looks like Winston lol anyone else ???
uponaburningmarcos haha
+uponaburningmarcos the fat Winston McDonald's... i mean McCall
+Wannes Daneels HAHAHAHAHA X,D
Aww that wasn't fair, just because it's a different style of music doesn't mean they have to hate on him. He did great
Those lows are actually very good
Fair play man
Your a Deadset legend mate, me and my mates where young but parkway had just came out and we would go to every gig we could when they played near us.
But back then you stage dive and the energy they brought out of everyone was insane I loved it, they are legends in Australia 🤟🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
What an underrated music scene i've ever seen.
That's why i never like mainstream music, i hate 'em all..
probably the most talented person ever to grace Britain's got talent he is awesome
These growls are godlike. Fucking loce them. This is real talent!
I am a metal fan, but I'm aware of the fact that this genre was not meant to be mainstream.
it pisses me off when they take the piss of this cuz I'm a vocalist myself and it took me 5 years to learn and that pretty much says they know nothing about music apart from pop or opera type of music. they should study metal
Nick emo4evershall love the others I think Corey Taylor should be one of the judges on a show like this, I think it'd be fucking awesome and at least he'd give guys like this a chance.
His growl was on point
This is honestly stupid, these people have no idea how much talent and skill it takes to scream, his tone actually reminds me of Mitch Lucker formerly of Suicide Silence (RIP buddy, we miss you ❤️)
Props to you dude. You went out there and gave it your best knowing that people will react the way they did.
I love Parkway drive I don't care what anyone says, bonus points for covering em!
Cheers from Toronto.
They could of had the vocalist from parkway drive on here and they would of reacted the same
All this proves is that its not a show of talent, its a show of personal preference and taste from the judges.
But he's actually really good??
When I see those people staring at him like that... He has more talent than anyone from the audition... people = shit...
and yet that guy that did the frozen cover went through?
SolarGaming I know I hate that song too
What an actual legend.
Well fcking done!! I hope he finds a band!
I would have given this man a round of applause if I was there. That took a lot of courage to get up on that stage especially on a show like Britain's Got Talent.
I remember this. I couldn’t even finish watching those “judges” just out him simply because they don’t like the style of music. It’s the best genre in my opinion and it definitely helps relieve oneself of a whole lot of aggression, especially as a young teenager.
You’ll sure pass if you look and sound like a Barbie though!
#metalcore4lifeee
Funny cause the meaning of the song is powerful, makes the judges look like they want the world to end lol.
Real talent
This is what happens when metal heads get separated from the group
Went on stage and shut the shit down. The audience was shook. Didn’t know what hit them jaws dropped. The dude killed it. So sick. He’s got major balls
I'll never understand why people will try to bring alternative music on a show that celebrates pop mediocrity. The whole point of most aggressive music is that it rejects societal conventions (like this show) and shows we don't need them. When people do this they're doing it for a reaction, and that reaction isn't "look at how cool and different and interesting this music is" the reaction is "look at that freak, let's have a laugh at them and how offended and uncomfortable all the normal people look".
At least he had the guts to bring this kind of music to mainstream TV, even though there are many better shouters than him xD
fuck man. you did great, I hope you get better credit.
awesome job dude. stay true! cheers from Russia
Even Winston is in shock he’s playing one of his songs on this show 1:04
Fuck.. didn't see your comment before I wrote mine.. Well seen by the way 😂👍
0:43
Umm what the fuck was up with that head.
holy shit it looks like another face is coming out of her chin
her head was giving birth to another head.
looks like a turtle to me hahahaha
She's a morphing alien in disguise to blend with humanity...she left her planet right before it was destroyed...
He knows that even if the judges didn't like it. Metal fans would still see it on the Internet and enjoy it \m/
He was pretty fuckin good . Well done bud .
Very awesome performance performing Dark Days by Parkway Drive 🥁🎤🎸🤘🤘
I love all the peoples reactions, like this guy is the devil in disguise. Why are people looking so shocked? He didn't do anything wrong.....Conforming at its finest, makes me so irritated.
This, after like a year or some... is still hillar, and amazing. I feel for you, man!
+Sean Ellis You're good bro, judges are narrow-minded.
I wonder what would happen if he covered something lighter like vice grip.
It wouldn't make a difference. If he's going to cover a song with those type of vocals he needs a band to back him up. It'll likely come across less awkward for the audience. Plus I think if you're ever going to cover a Parkway Drive song in a competition like this, you need to choose a song by them that has a guitar intro...at least then you'll probably be catching the audiences attention. Even though the chances of making it past the auditions with covering Parkway Drive songs are slim, I would've chosen songs like: A Deathless Song, Horizons, Alone, yes- Vice Grip could of been another one, The River or Destroyer.
BounceTo TheBeat If I was him I would've done wild eyes without the talking intro
One of my favorites by parkway drive. Well done buddy$
The metal is discrimined.....
God that vocal is amazing to have I’m impressed and m8 doing a parkway drive cover big move I love it also that dude got a better chance on his own band and be better then the judge most metal bands are more popular then the judges 😂
