Someone told me that Dani's....

[Slaughter Of The Soul]

Someone told me that Dani Filth's vocals are physical.And he meant the screams, not the brutal vocals, you know when he is doing like a bird that is being killed, or like a gay being killed.....

Im not really fan of this band and i don't know but i always thought that those vocals aren't normal, but he insists that they are normal !!

Tell me what is the truth, and if im right i will kick his ass !!

:hotjump:

Ultimately, you really have to wonder who the fuck cares? Why worry about how Dani Filth does his abnormal homo screech when you can wonder how in the fuck someone like Lamb of God's singer can pull the shit off that he does..

 

[nergal_S]

I saw CoF live (worst day of my life)
And he dose those gay bird screams you are talking about with a voice FX box he has on stage.

 

[NAD]

Gay bird screams...

I always thought those were real, I assumed just the lower register stuff was processed.

 

[Cyclonus]

The DVD shows him screaming without a mic. Just by himself. I guess he can do it. But he does have lots of equipment to help live.

 

[Slaughter Of The Soul]

Wow !! If those "gay bird vocals" are real he's a God....

 

[nergal_S]

god of gay birds.

 

[Slaughter Of The Soul]

Yeah, don't you think...
I don't like these vocals, but it's really hard to sing like this...

 

[FailingAcension]

He can do it...if he does it live all the time, I dont know

 

[Astral Poetry]

He can do the screeches on his own and i think that he can also do a bit of the somewhat lower stuff also.

 

[Fourka]

maybe he can, maybe not.....the result is the same...isn't it?

What's better, a drummer or a drum machine? No adequate substitutions for the real deal.

well, of course a drammer is better...but i can definetely say about drums whether it is a drummer or a drum machine...

but as for voices...then maybe danni is using a voice machine (whatever this is called), but somebody else could do this voice without machine...

i don't think that whether there is a machine or not should change your opinion about whether this voice is nice or not...voices vary a lot, drums no! and this is why we don't like drum machines, because drums have a specific acoustic. If the voice seems very computerised then I agree that I don't like it very much because you can hear the difference. But, when you come to a thread where no one is sure whether dani's voice is real or not, then the only think I could say is that it doesn't matter what it is...but the thing it matters is what he is saying that it is. Cause if he is saying that it is natural but in fact it isn't then he is making a fool of himself.

I´ve been wondering if Dani does anything else apart from singing and writing the lyrics, I mean does he write the songs or perhaps the parts for the orchestra ??

 

[dill_the_devil]

As far as I can tell, Dani pretty much does everything - I mean, considering the revolving door line-up Cradle Of Filth have had during the course of their existence, their sound has only changed/progressed very gradually, and even then only in the sense that it has become better produced and the song-writing has become more commercially-geared - so if the other musicians in the band have a say on the band's output, I wouldn't say it was a huge one.

As for Dani's voice, yes he does do it himself, although live he is aided with a voice box - it doesn't make that screech happen for him, it just amplifies its volume. And yeah, being able to screech like that on your own is an achievement (regardless of whether that vocal style appeals to you or not, its difficulty to achieve can't be denied), but let's face it, that achievement pales in comparison to the many and varied wondrous things Mike Patton can wrap his vocal chords around...

 

[plfffffft]

You know I saw Lamb of God last week, and I was simply amazed at what their singer can do. Not just by how good of a vocalist he is, but also the fact that he can do all that live WHILE SMOKING A GODDAMN CIGARETTE. That was amazing.

 

[rincewind2k]

but let's face it, that achievement pales in comparison to the many and varied wondrous things Mike Patton can wrap his vocal chords around...

VERY true. Mike Patton is God. And Dani is just unbearable...

 

[SculptedCold]

You said it Hearse!

Damnation and a Day is even better! (imo) They shouldn't have had Babylon AD on it though (let alone released it as a single!), it's awful. It's got a riff by Mushroomhead in it which is very dubious. (although I like Mushroomhead too of course)

 

[FailingAcension]

IMO, Babylon AD is the worst song on the album. They stole that little turn tables thing from Slipknot...lol...But for the rest of the album, I like it

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

Dani uses a pitch shifter for the low's. Everything else is legit, even live.

As for their songwriting keeping within certain boundaries, keep in mind the fact that Paul Allender wrote the majority of Principal..., some of Vempire, and almost all of Dusk. Technically Dusk was written and recorded (though it was mostly re-recorded with the later line-up) before Vempire (they were playing a few songs, like Gothic Romance, then titled A Gothic Romance and Death, and Dusk... and her Embrace live back in the day), but they didn't want to release it through a shitty label, so they went to court and had to release an EP, and some of the songs intended for Dusk (then called Gotia, or something like that) ended up on Vempire. Anyway, Robin wrote most of the stuff inbetween Dusk and Midian, as well as a few songs here and there, like The Rape and Ruin of Angels. Stuart wrote occasionally as well (namely, Malice...) and from Midian on it's been more of a "group" thing. I think.

And Lamb of God, well what can I say, the one time I saw them live I had to go find a chair to go find a chair to sleep on.
