I hear a lot of arguments against metal, usually that it’s a bunch of guys thrashing around and mumbling & grumbling or something. I may just send these videos to people next time the argument is brought up. They’re various metal songs with the vocal tracks isolated.
These guys belt out songs, and it’s awesome to hear just their part. I would like to hear just the vocal tracks from a Falconer or Three Inches of Blood song. Or Tyr. Those guys wail.
Dio – Holy Diver
Dio – Stand up and Shout
Iron Maiden – The Trooper
Judas Priest – Painkiller
Oh and because it points out just how goofy Diamond Dave is, here’s some Van Halen.
