NewYorkMets9 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Robert Plant on "Misty Mountain Hop" Baby, Baby, Baby, do you like it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I forgot about Chris Cornell, but I guess he's not really "classic". Close, though, which is a tad depressing. Stevie Wonder does a great one on "Superstition". Claire Torrey on "Great Gig In The Sky" is awesome, too. I think that's who that was. Gregg Allman was a pretty excellent screamer.

Skuff Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 there is some confusion over the scream at the beginning of Revolution. I've always assumed it was John, but The Beatles did a "video" of Revolution (it was in The Anthology) and it seems to show Paul screaming at the beginning. I've even convinced myself that it sounds like Paul. Does anybody have the definitive answer (knowing that SF's has the smartest posters in the free world)... Here is the Revolution video. Not perfect, at the end on that last HUGE "ALL RIGHT" John's not even at the mic! (Yet you can still hear it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 JonnyBoy, thanks for that...really, it made my morning just to see it. John didn't have to be near the mic because the boys are lip-synching to the recorded version...if they sang their parts right, it's clear that the opening scream is Paul though...thanks again.

Uncle Joe Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Anyone remember Ian Whitcomb? He screamed and he panted on "You Turn Me On" in 1965. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afroceltduck Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) Good screamers, whether they be rock or almost-rock, classic or modern: Tim Buckley Jeff Buckley Chris Cornell Rob Halford Roy Orbison (more a falsetto than a scream, but still great) Robert Plant Freddy Mercury (am I crazy or did no one mention him yet?) Jonny Lang (kinda) Paul McCartney I should also mention the lead singer for The Darkness, even though their 15 minutes of fame are up.

Skuff Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I agree with Robert Plant, but Paul McCartney? When, other than at the Whimper/scream at the end of "Let Me Roll It", does he scream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 "Oh! Darling" "Revolution" "Helter Skelter" "Can't By Me Love" before the guitar solo A lot of the early stuff was essentially screamed. I would agree that in addition to being one of the great all-time rock and roll singers, he was a fantastic screamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I'd like to mention Chuck Berry and Little Richard, who taught "dem white boys" how to scream! I would also include B.B. King, & Billie Holiday, & Sam Cooke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
