R&P: Here's one for you metalheads?

Alright, this is a genuine question, let's not get anyone getting all angry for no reason.

Someone decided to put a Justin Beiber set to metal music, and I want to know what makes this different than other metal songs. Still has the breakdowns, the distortion, the metal aspects, just Justin Beiber singing. I'm curious to see explanations as to why or why not this is any different from any other metal song.

    His voice would be the only difference, right? If it's played around the same styling but with his voice, I think that's the only part that doesn't fit with the scene.

    MA: CCR - I Heard It Through The Grapevine (1970)

    BA: Oh God, just horrible images popped in my head.

    Well, it doesn't really matter if it has breakdowns. This video is just an example of how his voice would sound with heavier music. His voice obviously is not as deep or has the range of most metal singers. And his style of singing is totally different. There obviously needs to be more power and deepness to the voice, for it to sound metal.

    Justin should just like join a total metal band right now....just joking. Most metal fans would never respect Justin.

    Yeah, i've got observed. even with the undeniable fact that it fairly is nonetheless a blended bag. approximately 50/50 out right here. i'm no longer as lively as i used to be, regularly because of the fact i've got at present married back and am elevating some greater wittle rugrats. yet yeah, I wore my Iron Maiden Powerslave shirt to the dentist the different day and the dentist and that i discussed the finer factors of the album. It replace into kinda cool to pay attention a dentist describing how he feels whilst he hears Flash of the Blade. MA: Like I stated, i do no longer do lots of something anymore that would not contain my 2 and four year previous. Nor do i actually decide directly to. I take the occasional fishing holiday without them, and that i circulate to as many shows as i could have the money for to circulate to. each from time to time the 4 year previous comes with me, reckoning on who's playing. he's a organic metalhead. 2 year previous is coming alongside good too. i presumed my 4 year previous replace into the single crankin up my PA the former day, belting out the refrain of walk, yet upon extra learn i got here upon it replace into the two year previous boy of mine.

    First off, obviously the vocals. Vocals in metal are different than those outside of it (and I'm talking strictly of the style of vocals, not even the lyrical content). His vocals don't even relate to the clean Power Metal style. Not to mention that they are significantly louder than the rest of the music, something metal tends to avoid doing. Look up Dissection, and you'll see how vocals tend to be overshadowed by music. Secondly, the song structure focuses around the vocals - parts are basically repeated over and over again in alignment with his vocals (the chorus is not used nearly as much in metal as in some genres). When I go to listen to metal, I want to hear diversity. Breakdowns? That's how you define metal? No, most decent bands don't use big amounts of them (like Sharlott said, Dying Fetus). Distortion? Hell, nu-metal has that, and that genre is rock, not metal.

    Even without the vocals, the song doesn't sound good. It's uber boring and repetitive.

    Most of the times Breakdowns =/= Metal (unless you're Dying Fetus)

    ... Is this any other metal song.

    It barely even sounds like a metal song.. It's pretty soft metal. His singing kind of fits, but it's just not the same as empowering vocal acts like Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden or extreme death metal vocals like in Carcass. It's just a cheesy, sh*tty metal song and I'm surprised how much this works.

    that song is metalcore, metalheads don't like breakdowns. breakdowns like that are pure **** and uncreative and cliched and repulsive. so no that song is horrible in every way shape and form with or without beibers horrible vocals.... fail.

    my favorite song released before 75 hmm that's way too hard but I'll go with shine on you crazy diamond by pink floyd. edit: i just saw wish you were here was released in 75 so im gonna switch it to echoes by floyd.

    and yeah i didnt even know metallica had an unplugged album but im sure st. anger was worse.

    the only reason i started talking about breakdowns was the poster started talking about breakdowns like they were a norm for metal, which they aren't for real metal, only stupid metalcore and deathcore bands relying on simple repetitive corny breakdowns to attract scene kids to perform stupid slamdances, these bands are not metal and are a plague to real metal.

    If his voice was deeper than a 10 yr old girl's and he sang about more than girls, maybe

    like .0025% chance, after what he does now, no metalhead would have respect for him
