Then you never listened closely to what they sing...
Anyway... I don't think it is the longest scream ever, cause we've been over this a couple of times and I'm almost sure that people said there was some song where some dude screamed longer then Maynard did.
If you guys sing along with Tool (which most of you do), then you will be able to scream the same length as Maynard did.
Practice :Þ
I doubt the scream is real, his vocals are mixed as fu*k, in some live bootlegs he sounds awful.
If you filled your lungs to their full capacity you could stand inside them, it's your ribs and organs that get in the way. Take your ribs out and you could scream more, you can all give yourselves head too.
yeah he has a sustainer and flange on his voice as well as possibly distortion... but i honestly thing he DOES scream that long, he just relies heavily on the effects to make it sound pretty...
because I mean try screaming, your voice goes AAAAAAAaaaaa-a-a-AAaaAAAaAaa... and there are lots of gaps and cracks and such so you know it would smooth all that shit out.
plus listen to his live APC screams, namely the outsider... fucking great.... at least half as long as the grudge they seemed to me... and a lot less effects, so I think he can usually do the grudge scream, just not necessarily very well, and it's got to be hard on the throat, hence the fx etc...
I wasn't doing it along with the song, but I once screamed, like, a nu-metal-type scream or whatever, for 29 seconds. I was physically sick after doing it; my face itched on the inside and my head was pounding. I'm somewhat of a vocalist... I'm not in a professional band currently but I play and sing all the time.
that shit is hard because unlike holding your breath, you are screaming it rapidly. i think that someone here said it was like 31 or 41 seconds, thats pretty damn hefty.
maynard has always had that scream.. i love the octave it is in
Hah, yah but when he talks in Swedish he seems like such an innocent little man. Those eyes are like puppy dogs! Can you scream like that, Sanch?
Flowjob, my boyfriend recently shaved his head and looked exactly like him. I kept on calling him Jens and getting him to do the Rational Gaze stance. He hated me, hah.
They are ok... but what is with the lead singers backwards headbang thing? kinda random.
Have you seen the Rational Gaze video?

Dissolving and reforming so quickly I seem only to flicker.
thanks misanthrope, that tomahawk song is sweet. but i dont think the yell is better than the grudge one, the grudge one has more aggression and is a bit longer i think. but cheers for telling me, at least now i know that this real long yell thing isnt a new thing. its not new but it will never get old :) unless all numetal groups do it :P i havent finished downloading the meshuggah song yet so ill see how that goes when i get it
I saw APC live once...and Maynard did the scream at the end of Judith and held it out like three times as long as he does on the album...he was screaming for nigh...nye...nie...on a minute. It was wonderful. But then again, after the song he seemed kinda dazed.
yeah the concert tool did in south australia, maynard held it in for at least 25 seconds. it says at their setlist site aswell, it says The Grudge with the scream. something like that.
