why do swedish people sound so american when they sing? I know anders from IF still sounds swedish, but listen to Speed! Listen to Mikael Akerfeldt! what is that?
I've listen to swedish born people speak, and a good amount of them have a certain inflection on vowels and certain letters, when swedish singers sing in english that disappears and they pretty much sound perfect. on the opposite side, if an american tried to sing in swedish, it would probably sound wrong.
Maybe that's because we watch a lot of american tv and rarely ever dub anything, with the few exceptions of children shows. I don't know, but maybe that's it?
Soilwork is much better than in flames - better singer, better music(WHICH ISN'T METALCORE, WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY; IT'S MELO-DEATH)better drummer(in flames' drummer isn't bad, just worse than Dirk) everything is better.....except the guitar sound on the latest record - it sounds really hollow and weak.....
you'll have to define screamo then because melo death consists of melodic passages and melody lines with brutal verses which are more like typical death or groove metal. Vocally, screaming lyrics and at times clean chorus and almost always a guitar solo. So if that is the same as screamo then I guess you're both right but I don't really think you don't know what you're talking about.
i wouldnt say this is better than the original, but this is live, on a camera and at a hotel karaoke, but i like how bjorn holds notes more than the original, how he does the high notes, and builds up to him, bjorn is prob my fav singer
If he was trained to sing like this he could have one of the best voices in the world. He is already the best at what he does :S Soilwork FOREVER! Anyone who doesnt think this is amazing should go and try it themselves and see how hard it is, specialy as he is probably drunk and its on a kareoke sound system which arent the best :P ~ LAW
This is just amazing! To see this side of Strid's voice is awesome! He did a great job with the song! The audio quality more than makes up for the poor lighting
well if you bothered to read the video description you would notice that I commented on why the video is so dark. As for it being a "weak" rendition... that is a matter of opinion, so back off.

How do you sound american? If you mean the dialect, it´s maybe becuase the song is originally sung by an american?

How is this amazing? All we barely "see" is a dark room with a weak rendition of a Frank classic.
