So you can put forth your Robert Plant, and your J. Morrison, and so on.........sorry- You Are Wrong ! The best ever scream was Willie Chambers, bar none. Send me hate mail. I don't care.

What about Janis Joplin?

Chris Cornell...in Soundgarden

I think James Brown is the best screamer.

I've actually seen polls on this very subject... lol

The Who's Roger Daltrey (yeaaahhh) scream in "Won't get fooled again" came in top's by a nice margin by the general masses...

I alway's thought Judas Priest's Rob Halford had the best pipes for an all out, belting scream... IMHO (of course) :yes:

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

Other than the fact that the mic was so over-loaded that it's like listening to ice-picks in the ears, yeh no doubt...............

"Won't Get Fooled Again"

I saw Halford live a couple years ago and I have to agree. Loud as f**k too,
glad I had my Hear_O's!

Wilson Pickett does pretty good job on 'Hey Jude', don't you think?

Indeed he do, with Brother Duane's screaming guitar in the background.
:yes:

I am partial to

Alice coopers scream. ala STEVEN ! Creepy ! :)
Paul Di'anno All else are amateurs
Rob Halford Never satisfied ! man no one can scream like him
Ian Gilan's Lazy is a hard one to top.

Ian Gilan's Lazy is a hard one to top.

Ya beat me to it!...

And it might not be the best..but...Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) ...'Careful With That Ax Eugene!......

Ozzy on Sabbath's :D War Pigs

"Screamin" Jay Hawkins wasn't named that for nothing. His "I Put a Spell on You" is a damn classic. At some shows he was carried onstage in a casket. This of course, was LOOONG before it was cool to be nuts. A true original if I ever heard/saw one.

The babe horn player from Sly & The Family Stone had a pretty good set of pipes too. Cindy or Cynthia.

It's been awhile, but I think Ian Gillian had another bunch of goodies in "Child in Time" from Deep Purple in Rock.

But "Won't Get fooled" was the first I thunk of.

What about the scream on Joe Walsh's 'So What?', after the guy does the short 'doo-wop' thing? I can't even think of the song that opens for...

I've actually seen polls on this very subject... lol

The Who's Roger Daltrey (yeaaahhh) scream in "Won't get fooled again" came in top's by a nice margin by the general masses...



That's who(no pun intended :lmao: ) I would vote for, especially from 'The Kids Are Alright' soundtrack!! :yes:

Mr. MoJoRisin' was awesome too!! :thmbsp:

grumpy, good call with the Paul D - Running free baby !!!

An album with some exceptional wailing - Judas Priest "Unleashed In The East" ! Quite possibly my favorite album of all time.

He may be disqualified because hes not really "rock" - more "hardcore" But hands down (and I've pretty much heard them all) NOBODY screams like Bill Crooks.


Tom Araya of Slayer - May be a turn off, but we are talking screamers here.

If you've ever heard Philip Anselmo " Fucking Hostile" - nuff said.



Free cd to the chap that knows the group Bill Crooks.....er, "sings" for :)

J

My vote goes to rob halford
Song "Victim of changes"
Album "unleashed in the east" :yes:
BIGNFAT

How about ALOT of screaming? Brian johnson. Geordie, Ten feet tall. :yes:

You wanna hear screaming? Come to my house anytime a new piece of gear shows up.

:yes: :yes: :yes:


Mike

Or when ya play groban too ! :D

John Lennon doin' "Twist and Shout."

NEVER,Turn off slayer!!! :naughty: :naughty:

I'm gonna toss this out just to see reactions. Axl Rose on Sweet Child O' Mine.
You don't know whether you want to shoot the guy to put him out of his misery :thumbsdn: , or to pat him on the back for a job well done. :thmbsp:

Yep, Axel rocks, but though not a true scream, It is hard to find someone who belts it out like Ann Wilson on Crazy on You, when she kicks in, it is nearly a scream.

I was thinking Heart too but i wanted to go out on a limb and mention GnR :guitar:

I have a CD by Pat Travers, Sof hard knocks. At the beginning of a son gcalled Whacha gonna do without me, he goes AAAAAUUUGGGGHHHH-SHUTUP. Then they start the song, which kicks ass. I always liked that part.

Don't know if it qualifies as best, but Candy Givens did a lot of screaming on the two Zephyr albums in the early '70s. Tommy Bolin played lead guitar with Zephyr before he went solo then joined James Gang.

An early 90s band "Steelheart"
You wont see many people able to do karaoke of these guys.
Heres some sample clips. check out the song " never let you go"

I agree with Grumpy - Listen to Halford scream on the Judas Priest LP, "Sad Wings of Destiny". Man can he scream!!!!

Dave

My wife has always said early VH/w David Lee Roth had some of the best sexy screams out there. In particular, right at the end of "Push Comes to Shove" off of Fair Warning.

I'd say Daltrey's Won't get fooled scream!

A great scream can be heard on "Crying in the Rain" by Whitesnake. Another scream which I think is the best is "See you in Hell" by a 80's hard rock band called Grim Reaper. The scream at the end lasts for a good 20 seconds, by far the longest I've ever heard.

A pretty obscure Michigan band called Savage Grace - the ending of All Along the Watch Tower, features a rather lengthy scream by Al Jacquez that is a killer when playing it loud.

Sebastian Bach from Skid Row.

Yup, I'll second that emotion - no contest, except most young'uns have never heard of "Screamin' Jay".

Of course, I've never heard most of what they've heard either, so it's a draw.

Ron.

Sam Kinison's cover of Wild Thing, end of discussion.

Aurthur Brown "The Crazy World Of Aurthur Brown". Lots of screaming about flames and fire, very spooky psycedellic album from '68 I believe. One cut "Fire" actually was a hit and still sees airplay. I have always thought it was amazing that such a dark, spooky album would have been popular in the happy hippie days. If you dig heavy keyboards, psychedellic maddness, and a touch of evil.
