It sounds like all they do is scream. I like guns n roses but im not sure if they are considered heavy metal. But i think im gonna start a band since its so easy to scream into a mic and get lots of money.

Are you talking about Death Metal? That's garbage. But the Heavy Metal I'm thinking of is like Disturbed for Slipknot.

That's a pretty shallow approach to metal. Pray that there aren't any metal heads trolling OT.

Heavy metal certainly does not include screaming most of the time, well proper heavy metal then. There are many different sub-genres of metal you should check out if you don't like screaming. I don't like screaming much but I am a big metal fan so it just depends really.

Way to over generalize FTW!! :|

Death metal is a pretty vast genre. It usually seems like people have only listened to crappy technical DM or something, and think that all death metal must be just like that.

Guns and Roses is heavy/Hair metal. You must have been listening to black/death metal.

There are lots of talented peiople who play DM. It doesn't have to be screaming. Even though i love DM (mainly melodic death metal). I usually prefer growling over screaming.

If you don't like DM that is fine.

To be honest, heavy metal nowadays is complete garbage at least from my point of view.

Now, death metal and black metal are a completely different story. This is where you find some of the most atmospheric music and creative music. When it comes to death metal, I must also differentiate between good death metal (generally from europe) and crappy american wannabees that you've probably been exposed to (i.e., one dude playing 2 power chords on his guitar and another one screaming into the mic). There are also bands that play technical music that virgin ears generally cannot grasp on the first try (nile did that for me years ago).

ps. here's an example of one of my favorite "black metal" songs. Despite the end of the song being cut off, if you listen to it you'll understand the atmosphere i'm talking about (also ignore the strange video)

Im pretty sure that metal isnt necessarily screaming/shouting?? im not exactly a music buff but isnt that black/death metal and then theres screamo...

anyway I like a heavy drum beat and soe good guitar in the background with clean vocals (not really screaming/shouting it just seems to go through me0 but that being said im getting more into it...

Well i don't know about anyone else but my method is to start playing the piece of music and then listen to that sound rather than just ignoring it.

Like i say, i don't know if anyone else does it that way, but its what i do and its worked out pretty well so far...

I can only but assume you are referring to "death growls" and whatnot. Most death metal vocals are indeed rubbish, but Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth is an example of how to do them well. Melodic and full of emotion, he is the definition of good "raaaaagh" vocals. Oh yeah, and his clean vox are

A lot of pagan bands from Norway and Scandinavia do the growls right, not just Opeth.

If you are watching stuff like headbangers ball on MTV2 you are going to find the worst metal possible. If you try harder and look around the internet you can find great metal bands of many different sub-ganres. There are tons of sub-genres in metal from technical death metal to symphonic metal, you just have to know what to look for or what you're interested in.

Try some Burzum...no screaming there. But, seriously, metal of all genres is an acquired taste. You either like it or hate it. Myself, I was always looking for something heavier and darker than nu-metal and most mainstream 'metal.' That's when I cam across black/death/doom etc. metal and I've loved it ever since.

You'll kill your voice. Start screaming like that for 4 or 5 minutes straight and tell me how the blood in your throat tastes.
