Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
I would nominate the entire Fun House album. All of Iggy's primal noises are amazing. "Down on the Street" has the "OooooOooH"s and "HEyy"s; "Loose" has more of the "AAAAAAYYYYYY"s; and "T.V. Eye" has the infamous "LOOOOOOOOOOOAOOOOOAOOOOOO......aaaaayyyyy.......wooo..".
...I also fancy a lot of Jon Spencer's "DO IT!"s and "BLUES EXPLOSION!"s. They are always entertaining.

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
Best scream has to be on Come to Daddy by the Aphex Twin, still scares the bejesus out of me. Nick Cave’s yowl at the beginning of Mutiny in Heaven sounds like my cat when I trod on her tail once. The aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh at the beginning of Love Me by The Cramps is a good one.
Best woohoos must be the Legendary Stardust Cowboy’s Paralyzed (awful really but very funny).

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll

Dave Wyndorf of Monster Magnet has the scream down anything from Superjudge " cage around the sun" sticks out for me.

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
No contest.
The first sounds to come from the continually inspiring "Now i got worry" Jon spencer blues explosion. Must have shred his vocal chords for weeks.

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
I don't know whether this counts but the vocals on The Sonics 'Cinderella' are a continuous distorted howl.
Robert Plant's 'WAAAY down inside' during Zep's 'Whole Lotta Love' always impresses me.
Finally Alan Vega's screaming during Suicide's 'Frankie Teardrop' is pretty scary.

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
Tom Waits "Shore Leave". Off the concert film "Big Time". I've watched this part of the concert with numerous people and when he starts screaming shoooooore leeeeeeeeave over and over, it is impossible not to pay attention. Makes some people laugh (they just dont get it) and other people cry (they get it).
Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
This one is old, but I always thought Roger Waters' scream in Careful With That Axe Eugene (Ummagumma, Live) was effectively creepy.
Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
what about the sonics, psycho, srictnine, or boss hoss. pretty sure opening of skunk from now i got worry is judah bauer shouting still a good shout none the less
Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
Roger Water's scream on the live version of "Careful With That Axe, Eugene!" from the live side of Ummagumma is really terrifying... gives me goosebumps every time i hear it!
Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
I agree with the Rob Plant one and most definately the Roger Waters one which was one heavy trip on mushrooms. And then Gillan on 'Child in Time' from the Live in Japan ('72) album and they were bigger than Zep that year. And Freddie Mercury at Live Aid.
What more can the heart of a man desire?

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
Not bad eh?!
So the Skunk on is Judah is it? Not just a dab hand on the ole geetar then. Doesn't he "sing" on fuck shit up too? I've not listened to them in aaaaaages, went a bit off the boil after ACME imho.
What about Justin Sullivan on Here Comes The War. The "sooooooon" of "put out the lights on the age of reasoooooon"? Not a populist scream sure, but gutteral, loud and certainly well meant.

Jon Spencer is great.. I've got to go back and listen to that, it's been a while.
something from Einsturzende Neubauten .. I cant remember the name but it's squeaking and sad.
Modlab, thanks for finding the "official" tally!
any yodel votes?

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
Gotta go along with Pink Floyd's Careful With That Axe Eugene by Roger Waters. It was somewhat reprised in the intro to Another Brick In The Wall with similar effect.

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
The, "ooh yeah" on the Sound of Confusion version Rollercoaster sounds cool/weird/crazy. For some reason, that whole record sounds like it is recorded on a slower speed or something. It makes it difficult for me to tell who is singing between Jason and Sonic.
Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
It's all Jason as you probably eventually worked out! Took me a while actually.dselevan2 wrote:The, "ooh yeah" on the Sound of Confusion version Rollercoaster sounds cool/weird/crazy.

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
thanks Runcible! That was my guess, as I don't see Jason yelling like that too much. Did they slow down the vocals on that record?
Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
Check out Take A Trip by King Khan and His Shrines. Not a scream as such but belting it out singing with real rawness.
Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
i think it's judah, could be wrong, he definatly does fuck shit up, you ever hear the original dub narcotic sound system version of that?ebbsandflows wrote:Not bad eh?!

Re: Best Screams in rock n roll
Hi Mark Refoy
wow, those Lennon tracks were played a lot in my house after Sept 11. strange memories.
and lots of good screaming and yelling, thanks guys, stuff I never heard of & stuff I haven't heard in a long time... I'm looking up what I don't know on youtube, which is great fun.
Ononist I couldn't find Take a Trip but I found Take My Lady to Dinner. I want a pair of gold poms poms now. f*ing awesome.
Runcible the Congos were just what i needed to hear today, with their lovely somniferous quasi-yodel.
there's more but I got to get going...
anyway, this sort of covers all the bases:

Public Enemy sampled that riff for their song
"She Watch Channel Zero". Slayer and P.E. were both
on Def Jam at the time.

kind of ironic no? the message in that song...
being that Flavor Flav is a huge television star now.
hahaha.
