for me it's a tie between Immigrant Song (AAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!) and Won't Get Fooled Again (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!)
any other suggestions, or contributions?

Re: Best Scream in Rock and Roll
A good scream can be found in the song; "Highlander" by the band Lost Horizon. It is kind of a long song, but the screams are the personification of power metal.
Re: Best Scream in Rock and Roll
Guns n' Roses 'Welcome to the Jungle' springs to mind. That somewhere around 20 second wail at the beginning is fairly epic, regardless of what you think of the song or even the band in general

Take your pick. As an added bonus: The granddaddy of heavy metal solos (bearing in mind this was 1970).

Re: Best Scream in Rock and Roll
I'm sure Chris Cornell has some bad ass screams. That guy can fucking wail.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Angel of Death, still one of the finest metal songs in existence has that amazing scream at the start.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

Whatever song it is in the CSI: Miami opener. Because thanks to the meme, it is forever burned into my memory in a way no other rock'n'roll scream will be.

That would be "Wont Get Fooled Again" by The Who. Bear mentioned it.RogueIce wrote:Whatever song it is in the CSI: Miami opener.

Re: Best Scream in Rock and Roll
Hmm. Maybe it shouldn't count then, if I didn't know despite someone mentioning it, because the only way I know it is from that one YouTube vid.Siege wrote:That would be "Wont Get Fooled Again" by The Who. Bear mentioned it.
And to be fair to me, Bear didn't include the letter E in his "YEAAAAHHH" and thus I didn't make the connection.

Re: Best Scream in Rock and Roll
Oh, come on. What about Steven Tyler's larynx-tearing howl in Dream On, or John Lennon's breathless expulsion on Revolution? Or even Sebastian Bach's lovely post-80's ripper from Skid Row's Monkey Business:
But I still have to give it to Roger Daltrey, in no small part because I saw The Who play 3 years ago. Despite being 62 years old, that man's scream on Won't Get Fooled Again was THE loudest and most impressive part of that night (which made my ears ring for 3 days, a feat no other concert has come close to). I think his best scream is in Love, Reign O'er Me, purely thanks to the emotional content.

Re: Best Scream in Rock and Roll
I think it's near impossible to mention "Best rock and roll screams" without mentioning the amazing range of Ronnie James Dio. Iron Maiden is definitely up there for me, Bruce Dickinson has always delivered, but Dio deserves mention. Always.
