Rant #1 Screamin' Haters

Screaming, growling, pig squeal all different unique ways to sing. Screaming has come along way since the days of Aroesmith and the rest of the 80's. Now you hear a lot more of it in bands like The Devil Wears Prada, Alexisonfire, All That Remains, August Burns Red and many more use screaming as a way to present their music in a unique way. There are a lot of bands out there that don't use screaming in all their music just a bit. Now screaming has a large fan base to it, and its getting bigger each time someone listens to it.

There are the haters of this music though. some people say that "this screaming" is unnecessary and satanic because of the sound. They say the sound encourages anger and violence. They don't take the time to listen to the lyrics and what they mean. They are just raddled by the way its presented, but in actuality there is a lot of meaning. Bands like The Devil Wears Prada is built on screaming and if you don't know them they are a CHRISTIAN!!!! band ya that's right their biggest influence is a man by the name of Jesus Christ, you know the man that died for our sins. If people would just stop and chill out and take the time to listen to the lyrics and not the sound they would see the real meaning of the song. Read between the lines is a saying that comes to mind in this topic.

Also, just because the sound is not like what people are used to that don't mean that they have to go and protest of it and make a big deal about it. Look at say The Beatles, their sound was not liked at first but now look they are one of the best bands in history. People learned to live with it and like it so why cant they do it with this type of sound.
