    i can do it and it is really fucking easy.

    instead of screaming while exhaling.......do it while your inhaling.
    this will produce the desired result.

    NICE
    Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

    Man, you young-uns' have to be taught everything.

    Place your family jewels in a nutcracker and squeeze.. This will give you instant power on those high notes.:eek:

    With time, grasshopper, you will not need the nutcracker.

    If you look up "throat singing" on wikipedia there is a mention of Dave's scream being a prime example. There are also links to throat singing lessons/techniques. For anyone who has ever fronted a band that does any Classic VH I'm sure they would agree w/me when I say that Dave's scream is best duplicated when their voice is blown out or extremely hoarse. I know it's been true in my case...

    I can do it too.

    Prince does something similar from time to time.

    This one time I got balls high and did an acappella version of "Jump" on my four track. It's terrible, but funny.

    step one : gingerly insert your cock into a meat grinder. step two :
    stick the fat end of a baseball bat up your ass. step three : put a clothespin on your nuts.
    ste[ four : shout it out loud!!

    (many thanks to jimmyjingles for providing this wonderful recipe).

    what makes the difference between DLR an other great screamers like Ian Gillan or David Coverdale, is that he's able to do POLYPHONIC screams...dave sings 2 notes (may be 3) at the same time !!!

    LOL ! This is is really mistaken
    do you really think Dave does it inhaling ?
    You are so wrong
    This is not easy
    Its an harmonic..
    there are 3 kinds of Harmonic screams
    they are all the same but each one uses different "tunnels" on the throat,its not the voice
    - 1 Steven Tyler "dream on" and he still has it
    - 2 Dave...the classic one
    - 3 Dave..another one ..listen to "She's my machine" on the solo
    and he does it now everytime
    There are not much singers that know how to do this
    The best example is David Ruffin from The temptations !!
    His scream is amazing !
    chek my band
    at the end of the song i do a long dlr kinda scream
    and the last short one is like an ALAE one

    CFTH- Pages 114/115:

    The natural sound was searched out to such an extent that, for example, when it was time to sing "Jamies Cryin'," I had taken special good care of myself. I'd watched what I was eating, watched what I was excercising, didn't smoke any cigarettes, nothing. Walked in, started singing, and Ted Templeman the producer said, "Dave, it doesn't sound the same. It sounds like ... it's not you, it's not real, it's like it's been worked on or something. Did you do something different? I said, "yeah, well, you know, I didn't smoke any cigarettes and really made sure of what I had for breakfast." He said, "Well go outside and smoke a joint. Somebody order up a cheeseburger." I went out and sat in a little basketball court area outside of Studio A, I think it was, at Sunset Sound recording on Sunset Boulevard. And I ate half a cheeseburger and drained a soda pop and smoked half a joint. Walked in, knocked out "Jamies Cryin' " in forty minutes.

    This is what I was taught in me singing lessons. Use your diaphram to inhale, i.e. pushing your stomach out. That way you get more out of your voice and don't usually hurt your throat (though this is me we're talking about). But you have to sing a song or two before you do the scream or it will hurt. It's ironic, I was taught how to sing and yet I sound like a bloke in bass. Ah well. *^_^* lml In fact I could probably do Dave's songs very well lol!

    I'm so happy, Just Like Paradise is the perfect summer song. It was playing all the way through Download last year and it fucking reminds me of good times.

    And yes, I am sober *fuckshockhorror* but I just watched Just a Gigolo and I'm horny now. Meh.

    THE DLR scream does not hurt,its a technique
    so is the destroyer raspy thing that Steven tyler does
    it does not hurt your throath or voice if its done properly
    its hard to learn

    Yeah, but it still doesn't hurt to warm up to do it properly. I can do a kind of power metal scream but hey I'm a girl. *^_^* lml

    there are 3 kinds of Harmonic screams
    they are all the same but each one uses different "tunnels" on the throat,its not the voice
    - 1 Steven Tyler "dream on" and he still has it
    - 2 Dave...the classic one
    - 3 Dave..another one ..listen to "She's my machine" on the solo
    and he does it now everytime
    There are not much singers that know how to do this
    The best example is David Ruffin from The temptations !!
    His scream is amazing !
    chek my band
    at the end of the song i do a long dlr kinda scream
    and the last short one is like an ALAE one

    instead of screaming while exhaling.......do it while your inhaling.
    this will produce the desired result.
    I thought I was the only one in the world who knew about the inhaled version.

    Inhaling? Call yourselves singers? You don't scream or talk while inhaling do you? Jesus, you exhale while screaming for projection and to avoid sore throat and lungs. Where did you get that one, seriously! *^_^* lml

    Dude, pretty sweet song. I'm sure you've heard it before, but you sound an awful lot like Bon Scott. Cool!

    Well when I inhale scream I sound like a duck being cooked alive. When I do it properly I sound like Kai Hanson. So, um, yeah. Classical training has made me voice too clear, if you know what I mean. That's why I sound odd when I sing rock. I'm wondering whether I should just stay in a low key or try and singer higher. I don't sound bad low, it's just weird. *^_^* lml
