SCREAMS IN ROCK


VA - What A Scream, The Best Screams in Rock CD1+CD2 (A Butterboy Compilation)

Screaming is an extended vocal technique that is mostly popular in "aggressive" music genres such as heavy metal, punk rock, and noise music. In heavy metal, the related death growl vocal technique is also popular. Intensity, pitch and other characteristics vary between different genres and different vocalists. Rock and roll (before the advent of heavy metal and punk rock) employed occasional brief screaming bits. In the 1950s, one principal screamer was Little Richard, beginning with his "Tutti Frutti" (1955)."Love Me" was a screamer in parts for Elvis as well as "Any way You Want Me" just to name two from '56. And even earlier in '55 at Sun on numerous cuts like "Trying to get To You" Elvis used his scream. Elvis Presley also screamed some of the lyrics to Jailhouse Rock in its original 1957 recording, although recordings of live performances of the song in Presley's later career featured him strictly singing the words, probably due to him moving toward more mature songs.  By the 1960s, the first take of John Lennon's recording of "Twist and Shout" for Please Please Me was the only take, since Lennon's voice was torn up, partly by the screams that peppered the song. Lennon, inspired by Arthur Janov's Primal Scream therapy, screamed in his later songs "Mother" and "Well Well Well" on John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. (Wikipedia)

Sometimes words are simply not enough in Rock. When rockers want to convey rage, frustration, pain, ecstasy and even joy, they will go for an ear-splitting scream.  They toss back their head throwing all caution to the wind for their precious and delicate larynx, and SCREAM. So, keep your earplugs nearby. Here are some of the great screams in Rock for your listening pleasure... Enjoy.
