D&D is so METAL

[TarionzCousin]

Though I am getting a bit tired of Cookie Monster doing the vocals for every new metal band I come across.

Um, Cookie's gotta work, yo.

I'm glad no one has mentioned "Rivendell" by Rush. I'm a big Rush fan, but that song is not metal.

Attack of the Killer WTFs

Their lead singer is the current frontman for Anthrax ....

For real? I thought John Bush quit Anthrax; I saw Belladonna fronting for them (again) during Judas Priest's Angel of Retribution tour.

Cool

I'll take the Cookie Monster vocals over all the metalcore bands with their Cobra Commander vocals any day of the week.

Seriously?

Massive step backwards. :\

I would just like to point out that "Am I Evil" is not a Metallica song. It is in fact a song by the much superior Diamond Head. Metallica ended up covering nearly the entire early discography of Diamond Head and Metallica's output at the beginning of their career also display the massive influence of Diamond Head. Which is not to say that pre-Black Album Metallica does not merit the highest praise.

As the Commodore said on Old Trek: "You think I don't know that!"

Not that I know much about Metallica, but I read the liner notes.

Not specifically, no, but it's one of the many good Rush D&Dish tunes.

How about the band Rivendell? They're not bad, they covered some of the songs from Tolkien's stories, such as:

The Old Walking Song
Misty Mountains
The Drinking Song

and others

Also, to that one guy, as a metalhead, I am tired (as are most metalheads) of the old, lame "cookie monster" crap that people use to describe growling.

 

[interwyrm]

Umm.. how about Marcy Playground's "Cloak of Elvenkind"?

Aww, yeah... I know, it's not metal.

*shamed*

I thought "Cookie Monster" was pretty evocative; gave a good idea of what I meant and all...think of it as a shorthand.

But really, what should I call it that would make you feel OK inside?

Growling? Pass. I think of "growling" as being a low sound rather than somebody yelling as loud as they can.

Seriously man...C is for Cookie, and that's good enough for me.

Judge for yourself...

Cookie Monster

There is a reason the comparison keeps coming up
