CutMan: Replace Periphery's Vocalist?

Mordecai. 07.27.10	periphery fucking suck dude
Ire 07.27.10	none every member of that band is worthless
East Hastings 07.27.10	the drummer of periphery looks like greg puciato
BigTuna 07.27.10	Schuyler Croom
luci 07.27.10	Just replace the band imo
CutMan 07.27.10	Okay, really, where are the ones who LIKE the band? I know you're out there. Big Tuna: That's an interesting idea. I'd like to hear that. Any song in particular you'd like to hear him do, or would you rather they write material around him/with him to suit him?
CutMan 07.27.10	Oh, to clarify, I like the CURRENT vocalist. I just think this is fun.
Winsomniac 07.27.10	Vincent Bennett.
Shadein 07.27.10	Why all the hate on Periphery?
SCREAM! 07.27.10	How the fuck does Akerfeltd lack in range?
Meatplow 07.27.10	never understood the appeal of Townsend as a vocalist
LaCosaNostra13 07.27.10	"never understood the appeal of Townsend as a vocalist" You should be shot in the face.
greg84 07.27.10	Yeas, a good idea. I'd like to replace him. And seriously, Daniel de Jongh out of CiLiCe would be an ideal vocalist for this band. He has literally no competition in this genre.
qwe3 07.27.10	"Why all the hate on Periphery?" because they suck
CutMan 07.27.10	SCREAM!: Well, have you heard him hit any particularly high notes or do anything particularly crazy when it comes to dynamics? He's a great singer, you don't need range to be a great singer, but he's a lower voice, and he mostly stays there. Meatplow: You just made me sad. greg84: Oh man, he'd be amazing. I wonder what he's going to be like in Textures, also.
Kubrick 07.27.10	They don't need a vocalist. I have the version of the CD without vocals and it is a LOT better than the version with vocals (and yes, I still really liked the album with vocals). All of the songs on there were basically written to be instrumentals anyway. They are all extremely nuanced and constantly alternate riffs and rhythms. I say they just get rid of vocals completely or at least release all of their CDs as instrumental.
CutMan 07.27.10	I disagree. Saying the songs are written to be instrumental rather belittles the voice as an instrument, and implies music of this complexity shouldn't have them. I think MORE bands should write music of this complexity, but still have vocalists. It's very creative, and the melodies often come out less generic.
iswimfast 07.27.10	keep the vocalist.
botb 07.27.10	with their old vocalist chris baretto. and periphery fucking rule
crowing51 07.27.10	Periphery is fucking awesome, the last vocalist should come back though. Or just release albums with no vocals which would still be awesome.
CutMan 07.27.10	laughs I'm not sure I can be friends with anyone who disses the Dev... total fanboy Crowing51: Have you heard the new band the old vocalist is in?
crowing51 07.27.10	@cutman no i haven't i didnt know he joined a new band?
CutMan 07.27.10	[URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaYNQyLFFVo&videos=7cBJB-H9pqk[/URL] Yup. I think it's pretty cool.
crowing51 07.27.10	Wow this is pretty good, yea i would of loved him on the periphery album alot more now. he sounds like a mini randy blythe lol
CutMan 07.27.10	I know, it's a pretty great performance. You should find their youtube page and check out his vocal booth work, he's good at what he does.
botb 07.28.10	ugh chris baretto sounds nothing like randy blythe.
crowing51 07.28.10	i went to there myspace and apperantly, they are only putting chris on a song on a album, they will have different people on different songs. chris is in another band called Friend For A Foe
crowing51 07.28.10	@bringonthebreakdown not exactly no, thats why i used the word ''mini'' can you not hear the similar screams in that song cutman posted?
CutMan 07.28.10	Oh, crap, I was mislead. I was hoping he was their vocalist... I'll have to check out that band he's actually in, then.
Kubrick 07.28.10	To each his own man... I'm just saying that Periphery writes songs that are very nuanced. They rarely repeat a riff without adding a new layer or tweaking a rhythm. I listened to the CD a lot with a vocalist before I got the instrumental and I was pretty shocked at how much I missed of the actual music when I heard the instrumental version. Maybe I just prefer instrumental stuff, but especially with this band I thought the vocals kinda distracted from the awesome little variations of every riff/melody. Either way, the CD is great with or without them.
CutMan 07.28.10	Oh, I absolutely agree, the CD DOES still stand on it's own with or without the vocals. Like you said, to each their own, I just find a singer able to sing over this kind of work delightful, something I look for. The music is pretty fantastically put together. I hope they always release an instrumental version of their CDs...
