@@rebelfriend20 What do you mean weird? Armin Meiwes searched online for someone who wants to be eaten, because he had a mental disorder after getting told he lived of his twin brother in the womb. He never felt whole, so he thought if he ate someone else, he would become a whole human again. His victim had a mental disorder as well and ate parts of himself before dying. This case is very tragic and Armin Meiwes will never be free again (that does not happen very often in Germany). He is the cannibal of Rothenburg.
I met Gaahl in summer last year in Bergen. He's an absolutely nice person and a great artist. He has his own art-gallery in Bergen with great pics painted by him!
I'd still say he can be intimidating, even without the corpse paint. But I would love to have a conversation with him. He's an absolute legend, his interview in Until the Light takes us was fascinating, to bad the interviewers were kind of dimwitted.
@@tornoutlaw well he is a tall man with deep eyes, wearing all black... But that's it. I talked almost an hour with him about art, the paint and paper he's using and he even spent me a wine. He had a new coorpartion with a dutch singer on "Bloodbylge" where one can experience him from a dark but surprisingly quiet side. And even on Lindys solo album "Seafarer" he's appearing. But sure, when he's in the role of Gaahl, than he wants to intimidate - and is doing a great job in doing so. But beside that he's a very unique but nice person.
@Samael - On top of that, how do you have a list like this that doesn't include Varg Vikernes. I guess grainy cellphone footage of a live concert was a requirement or something.
George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher is fantastic. Though From what I've seen, probably one of the most down to earth, nicest people you could meet. He's just large. His neck is also bigger than his head. lol
@@jonathancain7243 Intimidating is primarily physical and has little to do with personality. I can be intimidated by a large man even if I'm not scared of him, just like I can be intimidated by a woman I deem unapproachable
Till Lindemann is definitely one of my favourite vocalists in general. He walks a fine and unique line between sounding intimidating and comforting (in my opinion) and I would love to watch you analyse him in more detail. My suggestion would be “Mein Herz Brennt (Live at Download Festival UK 2016)” as I find it to be more interesting vocally than the typical suggestions like “Mein Teil” (amazing stage show) and “Du Hast” (incredible audience energy) but that might be just me. (However, I’d also be the last one to complain if you did all three of them lol)
Peter Steel of Type O Negative was pretty intimidating at 6' 8" . Regardless, these musicians take what they do very seriously in spite of the theatrics.
Kvaforth is the most intimidating imho. Gaahl would be the obvious choice, because of his very black metal-ness in real life (although he's also interested in high fashion and art) and intimidating stage presence, but Kvaforth - while an impressive black metal vocalist - is truly borderline insane.
From interviews I've seen with him, Nergal from Behemoth is a totally nice guy. And yes Gaahl is intimidating. Saw Gorgoroth perform while he was their frontman and the guy has such a commanding presence.
I've met both Nergal and Gaahl, and none of them are terrifying. They are both calm and collected guys. There is a difference between on and off stage.
@@snworbatory386 Hopefully it's a good song that actually uses Till's voice properly instead of Du Hast, Radio or even Mein Teil isn't even that demanding for his voice.
I think you nailed it spot on. Gaahl is terrifyingly good at black metal showmanship, and that particular clip of him and Ice Dale is especially well-suited to this list.
That just seemed like a random collection of metal artists, I truly have no idea what characteristics they consider to be intimidating to be on this list. I don't know if you have a Rammstein reaction yet, but they are a great band to react to, great live shows and Til has a really distinctive voice (the song they showed here is Mein Teil). Btw, the face paint guys vary so much in intimidation factor whether you see them in the dark or by sunlight, by sunlight they mostly look silly :) Personally I don't like self-mutilation on stage, so I guess the guy from the Shining grossed me out the most.
@@rolandbuysse9374 - To avoid using more specific and probably not so flattering terms, I'd say that Loudwire has a very millennial understanding of what "intimidating" means.
Greg Puciato is brilliant. His work in The Dillinger Escape Plan is amazing, they're one of my favourite bands of all time. But he also fronts an 80's synth revival band called The Black Queen which really shows off his versatility. Definitely worth a look!
Henry is pretty intense, even now as an old man. In his Black Flag days I could see him intimidating a lot of people just from his thousand yard stare and blood vessels looking like they're about to pop. Loudwire just sucks.
@@thevilifyingforce I will say Henry Rollins is intense though, I just never found him particularly intimidating, but when you explain it like that, I agree that some people certainly do
@@Dr.Spatula Yeah that's what I mean, he seems more intense than scary. But with that said he would kick my ass easily so I'd probably be scared to mess with him when he's in his intense personality
Till Lindemann imo is the only person youd really see on the street and be intimidated by and its a plus cause he's not ballsy about it. Its just hes a muscular obscure dude.
Gaahl is a nice person. And to be fair, no one should take shit from anyone. The world would've been a much better place then. I mean all the useless people would very quickly become my personal punching bags, if it were legal.
@@kingofheavymetal He probably is a nice person. I know that Gaahl's beliefs have changed down through the years but I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of Satanists that I've met that weren't nice ppl. Wish I could say the same for evangelical xtians but that's another topic.
@@judykeller7474 yeah was half joking really. Always felt (at least long ago) Ghaal was always super serious so it was hard to tell. And yeah the things he does nowadays are truly amazing
Most intimidating in the video, probably Gaahl, though he's kind of an interesting guy (openly gay in the Norwegian metal scene, e.g.), there's some legit sense of threat there (past prison sentences for assault, too, though he's mellowed). Whereas a guy like Tom Araya just always comes across as a genuinely nice, supportive guy offstage (in fact, in my experience Slayer concerts are pretty friendly, supportive environments even if everybody has lots of tattoos and leather and shaggy hair and so forth). Most intimidating not on the list: Varg Vikernes. Because he's a violent, racist psychopath for reals. Favorite metal vocalists: Bruce Dickinson is the best. Nobody holds the stage and fills a big arena like him. And a sweet, funny guy as well. I really liked Phil Anselmo (Pantera), I like Mike Akerfeldt (Opeth). There are a lot more good young female metal singers now, including Tatiana Shmaylyuk (Jinjer), Rikke Emilie List (Konvent), and Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber).
While that's crazy, I don't understand how he made the list while Varg Vikernes didn't. That guy literally burned churches and murdered the guitarist of a rival band by stabbing him over 20 times and is in general just a massive racist creep.
I’m amazed that Meshuggah wasn’t on here. When he’s standing in the center of the stage either headbanging or just doing the Meshuggah face while the rest of the band is nearly motionless with the lights flashing with the kick drum, it’s just awesome
Oderous was too tongue-in-cheek to be truly intimidating. You thought he's was gonna try and scare you then he said something intentionally dumbass and you ended up laughing.
She already reacted to Pantera but she's really good at dodging his skills lol First she reacted to some absolute shit live performance of Walk and later she reacted to a mediocre performace of Cementary Gates. My suggestion would be to react to studio version of Cementary Gates, he gives some absurd highs there
Till Lindemann is excellent. His voice can move from horrific to beautiful with ease. His music videos for his solo projects are absolute madness, which is something considering the stuff with Rammstein. Rollins could be a really intense performer in his day. Not much range (by his own admission), but would give his all on stage.
These bands, not so much, your facial expressions,PRICELESS!! I love all your videos whether I care for the music or not, I watch for you and your input! Awesome kimono btw❤️
These guys on the list are just another day at the office in the Metal world, that's their job and they enjoy it and do it well, but there are many more that could have been on this list. I love how you just rolled with each artist, hesitantly, but there is a method in their vocal deliveries that young musicians want to know. Cheers! Favorites are Cronos from Venom and of course Ohlin and Kristiansen, the vocalists from the band Mayhem.
The lead singer of Behemoth (Adam Darski) the first band in the video, has also a country/blues project called "Me and That Man" where he Is the singer too. You should react to him, he has an incredible voice for that music genre.
As intimidating as Gaahl looked in that short clip, which was the whole point, he was a pretty impressive frontman when he was in Gorgoroth, a very distinctive vocal, not just the scream, had a very good clean singing as well, if you wanted to look into him further, one song comes to mind is "Frofetens Aperbaring", the whole song's in Norwegian, but does a lot of that song in a very operatic baritone voice, he's able to do a lot with his voice, you might be surprised!
Ghaal is such a great and nice guy in person when you talk to him. The naked girl on the cross at that tour is my girlfriends sister, she shared a room with him during the tour and said he was always just nice and calm.
Fun fact: At (4:11) gorgoroth plays. Einar Selvik, who is the front-figure of Wardruna, which you have featured twice before, was the drummer in Gorgoroth.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Is he well known? Yes. For the right reasons? Well...maybe you should watch the masterpiece "Cradle of Fear", if you haven't already. Also. Dimmu Borgir garners more respect than COF, let that sink in for a bit.
you really should do the gorgoroth song in this video. the live version: God Seed / Gorgoroth - Prosperity and Beauty (Live @ Wacken Open Air 2008) is the name. its awesome
I didn't like him in Gorgoroth. He was the weakest of the vocalists there - definitely not as good as Pest. But i love him in Gaahls Wyrd. His goals are much stronger in that band.
Fun fact, #3 Gaahl's band are one of the very few bands who actually claim to worship Satan. The guitarist literally says he believes and worships Satan while the others are more metaphorical about it. Unexpectedly, Gaahl is also a bit of a celebrity gay icon to some in Norway.
I'd love to see your reaction to Greg Puciato. Although most people probably can't see past his insane live performances and are intimidated - or put off - by his intense vocals, if you make it through to any of the more melodic or jazzy parts in The Dillinger Escape Plan's songs you'll find that this guy is insanely versatile. It's an acquired taste, I guess - but definitely the most visceral singer/performer I've ever come across. (The Dillinger Escape Plan - I Wouldn't If You Didn't / - Symptom of a Terminal Illness / and just in case Dillinger is too much, do listen to The Black Queen. ("Taman Shud" is wonderful)
Thanks for this, I was scrolling and scrolling, and not a word about Greg - he is such an amazing vocalist. His range and technique are astonishingly wide. I would also recommend "Black Bubblegum" cause it's not that insane and presenst his range of techniques quite well.
The late Warrel Dane was my favourite vocalist, the power and emotion in his voice was astonishing. I'd recommend The Heart Collector, Believe in Nothing, Sentient 6, Inside Four Walls, Messenger or Brother
Seeing Tom Araya -Slayer- in an interview, he sounded like a funny, smart, family guy. Just laughing and talking about how he learned, and kids. You should see Henry Rollins about 40 years ago when he was in Black Flag. Just crazy, wild, punk rock...

I'm curious, Beth, if you are aware that your choice for for most intimidating, Gaahl of Gorgoroth, provided backing vocals and conceptual creativity for the first 2 albums of Einar Selvik's Wardruna project? Or that Einar played drums for Gorgoroth?
I’m my opinion dir en grey’s vocalist is one vocalist who just does not get enough attention for his vocal range and creativity aswell as his ability to express so much emotion. You need to react more to their stuff pls :)
@AAAAA Yeah that's Kyo. They kinda rose to fame at a random time in the 2000s because of the Obscure music video. He goes from screams, to growls, to cleans and whistles. The live versions of Obscure are always solid despite what he is singing about in the song. Filth is another solid one of their signature style.
Beth. I would really like to see your reaction to Cattle Decapitation. He use growls, screams but also a special voice of his own that is unique. Try the song Death Atlas from the same album.
That whole gig with Gaahl was amazing. It's the way he stares so intensely that gets me. My husband said he looks like the Black Metal Arthur Brown and now I can't unsee it 😂
Gaahl is super cool irl. He noticed i was looking at him and presumed i knew who he was and asked if i wanted i picture. That blew my mind because thats exaclty what i wanted, but i was too nervous to ask lol
Favorite metal vocalists: Rob Halford Michael Kiske Bruce Dickinson Dio Lemmy Kilimister King Diamond Kai Hansen Ian Gillan non metal: Jeff Buckley James Brown
Hears Tom Araya scream. Says "I don't know if that's intimidating. I find that quite funny." seconds before he starts singing "Auschwitz, the meaning of pain. The way that I want you to die." Hahahaha. But, to Beth's credit, that was far from his best opening scream for Angel of Death.
Niklas Kvarforth from Shining is definitely one of my favorites on the list but I’m biased obviously. His vocals aren’t the only thing intimidating about him. His mind is very out there due to mental illness. He can be super friendly and be kind of a troll in one interview and then be absolutely unsettling and mean in another. His vocals are pretty cool especially his throat singing type thing that he does. GG Allin should be on there as some of these other guys aren’t really intimidating to me personally.
Both Orion and Nergal (first two) of Behemoth are just the nicest guys! They might look scary on stage, but off stage they are just awesome. Not sure I've ever met a metal artist who is scary or anything, vast majority have just been really nice.
That's the funniest, realest thing I've heard today. "You're a human, I CAN FIGHT YOU!" Lol always a joy watching your content, if sometimes for unexpected gems
Gorgoroth are part of the infamous Norwegian black metal scene, which is the only music scene that makes gangsta rappers look like choirboys. Gaahl was twice incarcerated, once for torturing a guy for 6 hours. In the early 1990’s a number of crimes in Norway, including murders and church burnings, were connected to bands like Mayhem, Burzum, and Emperor. At one point in time, three of the four members of Emperor were in prison simultaneously. Plus there was the infamous suicide of Mayhem vocalist Dead. The picture of the crime scene was later featured as the cover of one of their albums. There are a number of documentaries, books, and movies about this music scene such as “Lords of Chaos”, “Until the Light Takes Us”, etc.
Having seen him a couple of times, Kvalforth is genuinely scary. A lot of musicians use fake blood on stage for effect, but he was actually cutting himself with razor blades in that footage - that's one of his schticks.
I agree and was surprised to scroll so far down to find a comment about him. But judging from the other comments I think a lot of people just don't know him or at least not his live performances.
Pretty sure Gaahl is like 6'7" and literally chained a guy up and tortured him for being too annoying at a party (to be fair he warned the guy to stop first)
He is not that tall, and never did something wrong to me. But the last time I talked to him I was there with a friend, and Gaahl and his female friend amused themselves just by pointing at my friend. Saying nothing else. Also, keep in mind that Gaahl designs dresses and such...
Well picked. Gaahl actually did time in prison for deprivation of liberty and torture. He said it was all a misunderstanding, and was simply trying to catch the guy's blood in a wine glass so it wouldn't stain his carpet. The judge didn't believe him either.
Niklas Kvarforth of Shining is the scariest to me. The more I read about him and his world view, the scarier he becomes 0_o it's kinda sad too, actually.
Well only from the Vocals I think Clean: Tommy Karevik (Kamelot) Floor Jansen (Nightwish and the Ayreon parts) Amy Lee (Evanescence) David Draiman (Disturbed) On Screaming: CJ McCreery (Only his vocals not his personal live) (ex Lorna Shore) Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail) Dickie Allen (Infant Annihilator) CJ McMahon (Thy Art Is Murder)
A vocal coach reacting to Slayer is kind of pointless. Tom doesn't really sing. She should react to a song where he does sing, like Spill The Blood or Seasons In The Abyss.
#8 Till Lindemann: During Rammstein's early years, because of his use of over-the-top pyrotechnics, Lindemann has burned his ears, hair and arms.[15] Band mate Christoph Schneider commented, "Till gets burned all the time, but he likes the pain."[15] During the filming of the band's music video for "Ich tu dir weh", Lindemann wanted a light put in his mouth to create a visually stunning effect.[25] Band mate Paul Landers suggested that he use a flesh colored wire and run it along his cheek to shine a light into his mouth from the outside.[25] Lindemann refused, and instead opted to have a surgical incision in his left cheek, so that a light could be fed into his mouth directly, and largely out of sight.[25][26] #7 Henry Rollins: Black Flag's change in musical style and appearance alienated many of their original fans, who focused their displeasure on Rollins by punching him in the mouth, stabbing him with pens, or scratching him with their nails, among other methods. He often fought back, dragging audience members on stage and assaulting them. During a Black Flag concert, Rollins repeatedly punched a fan in the face who had continuously reached for his microphone.[34] Rollins became increasingly alienated from the audience; in his tour diary, Rollins wrote "When they spit at me, when they grab at me, they aren't hurting me. When I push out and mangle the flesh of another, it's falling so short of what I really want to do to them."[35] #6 Niklas Kvarforth: Kvarforth is known in the scene for his extreme and sometimes violent behaviour during live performances, including fighting members of other bands, and handing out razor blades to audience members in 2007.[2][3] Kvarforth has also been accused of assaulting and threatening audience members in 2017.[4] Kvarforth has also performed auto-mutilations onstage and seems to encourage the practice. He often states in interviews that he hates "everything that grows". It is unclear if his statements made to journalists are in earnest or simply to mock them. Many fans believe he generally holds journalists and reporters in contempt, and purposely mocks them.[5] Kvarforth himself has neither affirmed nor denied this publicly, but consistently expresses his hatred of other people, himself, various countries, and life itself.[6] #4 Doyle The man has literally thrown people who invade his space off the stage. #3 Gaahl: In 2002, Gaahl received a prison sentence for an assault which took place in 2000, and was ordered to pay the victim 158,000 NOK (about 25,300 US$).[4 In May 2004, Gaahl again received a prison sentence, for aggravated assault.[4] He appealed for a reduced sentence, and in February 2005 he was re-sentenced to fourteen months in prison and ordered to pay the victim 190,000 NOK (about 30,400 US$) in compensation.[4] The incident happened in February 2002 during a late-night party at Gaahl's house in Espedal, when he became involved in a confrontation with a man who arrived at his house. Gaahl was accused of severely beating the man, collecting his blood into a cup and threatening to make him drink it.[4] Gaahl said "I was the one who was attacked, but they think I punished him too hard. As I always say, when people cross my line and I let them know where the line is many steps before they cross it, and still they choose to cross it, then I will be the one to decide what their punishment will be".[9] He also claimed to have given the man the cup "so that he would not make such a mess in my house with all the blood".[4] When asked in the documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005) for his thoughts on the church burnings associated with the early Norwegian black metal scene, Gaahl answered: "Church burnings are, of course, a thing that I support one hundred percent. It should have been done much more, and will be done much more in the future. We have to remove every trace [of] what Christianity, and the semitic roots, have to offer this world."[34] #2 Greg Puciato: During The Dillinger Escape Plan's 2002 performance at the Reading Festival in the United Kingdom, Puciato defecated onstage, put it into a bag, and threw it into the crowd before smearing the rest onto himself, proclaiming "This is a bag of shit, I just wanted to show you this so you'll recognize it later on throughout the day" referring to other bands that would appear that day of the festival, especially Puddle of Mudd.[8][46] The act caused much controversy and had them on the verge of being banned in the UK.[46][47] #1 Phil Anselmo: Phil used to take a boxing trainer on tour with him. You would not want five minutes alone with Phil Anselmo.
Hey! Great suggestion! I did a reaction to Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live). Take a look here: ua-cam.com/video/CeNWPoiAEyM/v-deo.html&lc=Ugyz8J9YBECdkUBUoq14AaABAg
Number 3 Gorgoroth Fun fact: Back there, behind the kit on drums is Einar Selvik of Wardruna. Yeah he started out drumming for Gorgoroth. And that vocalist, Gaahl is his name. He was in the original line up of Wardruna but couldn't stay on, touring the world, because of a bad criminal record. Good choice for most intimidating, since his intimidation has behind it some actual danger. (not condoning irl violence, just sayin').
I happened to see a picture of "Orion" from Behemoth without the makeup, and he is not a bad looking guy. Mostly it's the theatrical makeup (and/or masks) they apply which makes them appear intimidating, and for the most part these guys are really nice people.
3:19 - "This one makes me wanna dance"
3:56 - "I mean, this is great!"

@@rheisak It's more of an in person thing. I imagine Henry Rollins has an incredibly intense presence when serious knowing full when he's pretty chill
@@Dr.Spatula Yeah that's what I mean, he seems more intense than scary. But with that said he would kick my ass easily so I'd probably be scared to mess with him when he's in his intense personality
Till Lindemann imo is the only person youd really see on the street and be intimidated by and its a plus cause he's not ballsy about it. Its just hes a muscular obscure dude.
Gaahl (number 3) is probably the scariest homosexual man walking the earth. Dude does not take shit from anyone.
Jeff Dahmer, Dennis Nilsen?
Gaahl is a nice person. And to be fair, no one should take shit from anyone. The world would've been a much better place then. I mean all the useless people would very quickly become my personal punching bags, if it were legal.
@@livedandletdie First time I see someone saying Gaahl is a nice person haha
@@kingofheavymetal He probably is a nice person. I know that Gaahl's beliefs have changed down through the years but I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of Satanists that I've met that weren't nice ppl. Wish I could say the same for evangelical xtians but that's another topic.
@@judykeller7474 yeah was half joking really. Always felt (at least long ago) Ghaal was always super serious so it was hard to tell. And yeah the things he does nowadays are truly amazing
Most intimidating in the video, probably Gaahl, though he's kind of an interesting guy (openly gay in the Norwegian metal scene, e.g.), there's some legit sense of threat there (past prison sentences for assault, too, though he's mellowed). Whereas a guy like Tom Araya just always comes across as a genuinely nice, supportive guy offstage (in fact, in my experience Slayer concerts are pretty friendly, supportive environments even if everybody has lots of tattoos and leather and shaggy hair and so forth).
Most intimidating not on the list: Varg Vikernes. Because he's a violent, racist psychopath for reals.
Favorite metal vocalists: Bruce Dickinson is the best. Nobody holds the stage and fills a big arena like him. And a sweet, funny guy as well. I really liked Phil Anselmo (Pantera), I like Mike Akerfeldt (Opeth). There are a lot more good young female metal singers now, including Tatiana Shmaylyuk (Jinjer), Rikke Emilie List (Konvent), and Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber).
Gaahl would be the most intimidating for sure. Dude beat a guy, collected his blood, and made him drink it...
Alex Sukacz after he broke into his house.... he also denies any torture as well 🤣
Matt Desrosiers he denies threatening to drink the guys blood or make the guy drink his own blood, not beating the guy up
While that's crazy, I don't understand how he made the list while Varg Vikernes didn't. That guy literally burned churches and murdered the guitarist of a rival band by stabbing him over 20 times and is in general just a massive racist creep.
I’m amazed that Meshuggah wasn’t on here. When he’s standing in the center of the stage either headbanging or just doing the Meshuggah face while the rest of the band is nearly motionless with the lights flashing with the kick drum, it’s just awesome
Someone they didn't have on there: Oderus Urngus from GWAR.
Come on, it's a cartoon character. He's (was) hilarious.
Or the vocalist from Lordi. Same type of crazy get up.
Oderous was too tongue-in-cheek to be truly intimidating. You thought he's was gonna try and scare you then he said something intentionally dumbass and you ended up laughing.
I agree with you on that one.
RIP
Gaahl (number 3) is one of my favorite singers of all time, i'd love to see a full reaction video just for him
#3 is the scariest.
My favorite rock vocalists are Klaus Meine from Scorpions, Doro Pesch in her Warlock days, John Cooper from Skillet
Honestly, Phil is probably the most intimidating on the list in my opinion. He was pretty scary in late 90s, early 2000s.
Please react to the vocals technique, is very hard to sing death metal for example. I vote for Cannibal Corpse!
Or some good Dying Fetus?
there are more bands, I swear.
Lord Worm from Cryptopsy - either Phobophile or Slit your Guts.
Sorry but there are way better death metal vocalists. Cannibal corpse is overrated
Should do Thy Antichrist
I want to see her react to Abbath's crab walk in All shall fall
Pantera - Phillip anselmo in the early days had the greatest vocals - psycho holiday for instance
She already reacted to Pantera but she's really good at dodging his skills lol
First she reacted to some absolute shit live performance of Walk and later she reacted to a mediocre performace of Cementary Gates. My suggestion would be to react to studio version of Cementary Gates, he gives some absurd highs there
Another CFH fan, I presume... Pantera will ALWAYS be the best metal band of ALL TIME! 🤘

The version of Cemetery Gates was an official release that was killer. It also got them another Grammy Nomination.
@@integrity101 Which version?

The one she reacted to
Till Lindemann is excellent. His voice can move from horrific to beautiful with ease. His music videos for his solo projects are absolute madness, which is something considering the stuff with Rammstein.
Rollins could be a really intense performer in his day. Not much range (by his own admission), but would give his all on stage.
These bands, not so much, your facial expressions,PRICELESS!! I love all your videos whether I care for the music or not, I watch for you and your input! Awesome kimono btw❤️
These guys on the list are just another day at the office in the Metal world, that's their job and they enjoy it and do it well, but there are many more that could have been on this list. I love how you just rolled with each artist, hesitantly, but there is a method in their vocal deliveries that young musicians want to know. Cheers!
Favorites are Cronos from Venom and of course Ohlin and Kristiansen, the vocalists from the band Mayhem.
You haven't seen anything until you've seen GG Allin. That dude was rock bottom and completely inimitable.
Problem is, he's a one-way express ticket to age-restriction on your video, so people are probably a lot less willing to discuss him.
@@occultnightingale1106 GG Allin is a douchebag
@@kristiecornell5723 what about satan panonski even he was a degenerate
Till's voice makes the *German* language sound so interesting.
Ich bin froh, dass Sie zustimmen, mein Freund ^^
Please, watch some Rammstein 🙏
The lead singer of Behemoth (Adam Darski) the first band in the video, has also a country/blues project called "Me and That Man" where he Is the singer too. You should react to him, he has an incredible voice for that music genre.
As intimidating as Gaahl looked in that short clip, which was the whole point, he was a pretty impressive frontman when he was in Gorgoroth, a very distinctive vocal, not just the scream, had a very good clean singing as well, if you wanted to look into him further, one song comes to mind is "Frofetens Aperbaring", the whole song's in Norwegian, but does a lot of that song in a very operatic baritone voice, he's able to do a lot with his voice, you might be surprised!
None are intimidating but I listen to this music. Gaahl was perfect.
Ghaal is such a great and nice guy in person when you talk to him. The naked girl on the cross at that tour is my girlfriends sister, she shared a room with him during the tour and said he was always just nice and calm.
Phil Anselmo is intimidating, and he'll back that up aswell.
Yeah, Phil can be pretty intimidating with his vocals. I feel like they should have put the screams from cemetery gates in there instead.
Fun fact:
At (4:11) gorgoroth plays. Einar Selvik, who is the front-figure of Wardruna, which you have featured twice before, was the drummer in Gorgoroth.
Kvitrafn (Selvik) is not the frontman of Wardruuna, its a collective of musicians, Kvitrafn is the driving force and creator.

Check Cradle of Filth, Dani Filth's vocals are very interesting and intimidating in a peculiar way
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Incredible lyrics, even from the start of COF when they were just kids.
On album, yes. Live, makes me laugh so hard I cant breathe sometimes.
I love COF but damn that voice dont work well live.
Intimidating until you see him. All 5'5 and 130lbs of him.
Dani Filth intimidating? He's literally the foremost laughing stock in all of extreme metal.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer
Is he well known? Yes. For the right reasons? Well...maybe you should watch the masterpiece "Cradle of Fear", if you haven't already.
Also. Dimmu Borgir garners more respect than COF, let that sink in for a bit.
Beth piece of advice: If you meet a dude in an apron and chefs hat covered in blood and NOT working behind a butchers counter - RUN !
you really should do the gorgoroth song in this video. the live version: God Seed / Gorgoroth - Prosperity and Beauty (Live @ Wacken Open Air 2008) is the name. its awesome
I saw him at Inferno last year. It was awesome. Absolutely awesome. Then after I met him at the bar in the venue. Such a nice, actually shy, guy.
I didn't like him in Gorgoroth. He was the weakest of the vocalists there - definitely not as good as Pest. But i love him in Gaahls Wyrd. His goals are much stronger in that band.
She has heard Ghaal on her channel, but it was an early Wardruna show.
Yes. Been calling for this for ages! Or at least once or twice before.
Why not the live in Poland version that they show on this video. Way better
Fun fact, #3 Gaahl's band are one of the very few bands who actually claim to worship Satan. The guitarist literally says he believes and worships Satan while the others are more metaphorical about it.
Unexpectedly, Gaahl is also a bit of a celebrity gay icon to some in Norway.
I would love to get your take on Rammstein! Till is a showman (and a certified pyrotechnician!), but he is also a singer with an incredible voice.
I'm a fan of #1 Orion bassist of Behemoth and Ghaal vocalist of Gorgoroth.
I really enjoy your reactions.
I'd love to see your reaction to Greg Puciato. Although most people probably can't see past his insane live performances and are intimidated - or put off - by his intense vocals, if you make it through to any of the more melodic or jazzy parts in The Dillinger Escape Plan's songs you'll find that this guy is insanely versatile. It's an acquired taste, I guess - but definitely the most visceral singer/performer I've ever come across. (The Dillinger Escape Plan - I Wouldn't If You Didn't / - Symptom of a Terminal Illness / and just in case Dillinger is too much, do listen to The Black Queen. ("Taman Shud" is wonderful)
Thanks for this, I was scrolling and scrolling, and not a word about Greg - he is such an amazing vocalist. His range and technique are astonishingly wide. I would also recommend "Black Bubblegum" cause it's not that insane and presenst his range of techniques quite well.
The late Warrel Dane was my favourite vocalist, the power and emotion in his voice was astonishing. I'd recommend The Heart Collector, Believe in Nothing, Sentient 6, Inside Four Walls, Messenger or Brother
Seeing Tom Araya -Slayer- in an interview, he sounded like a funny, smart, family guy. Just laughing and talking about how he learned, and kids.
You should see Henry Rollins about 40 years ago when he was in Black Flag. Just crazy, wild, punk rock...
I just came here to watch you react. Not disappointed and I loved the green nail polish!
You should react to the whole second song on the list. Slayer - Angel of death.

I'm curious, Beth, if you are aware that your choice for for most intimidating, Gaahl of Gorgoroth, provided backing vocals and conceptual creativity for the first 2 albums of Einar Selvik's Wardruna project? Or that Einar played drums for Gorgoroth?
I’m my opinion dir en grey’s vocalist is one vocalist who just does not get enough attention for his vocal range and creativity aswell as his ability to express so much emotion.
You need to react more to their stuff pls :)
@AAAAA Yeah that's Kyo. They kinda rose to fame at a random time in the 2000s because of the Obscure music video.
He goes from screams, to growls, to cleans and whistles. The live versions of Obscure are always solid despite what he is singing about in the song. Filth is another solid one of their signature style.
There is a video from Loudwire called "10 Vocalists Who Can Sing You to Sleep AND Scare You to Death". You should react to that one also^^
Beth. I would really like to see your reaction to Cattle Decapitation.
He use growls, screams but also a special voice of his own that is unique. Try the song Death Atlas from the same album.
George is actually extremely kind and funny. He frequents Disneyland with his family and plays WoW
I was going to say "none of the above" and go for GG Allin, but yeah. Phil definitely wins that one.
That whole gig with Gaahl was amazing. It's the way he stares so intensely that gets me. My husband said he looks like the Black Metal Arthur Brown and now I can't unsee it 😂
The best one on this list was the guy from Rammstein in my opinion.

Gaahl is super cool irl. He noticed i was looking at him and presumed i knew who he was and asked if i wanted i picture. That blew my mind because thats exaclty what i wanted, but i was too nervous to ask lol

Niklas Kvarforth from Shining is definitely one of my favorites on the list but I’m biased obviously. His vocals aren’t the only thing intimidating about him. His mind is very out there due to mental illness. He can be super friendly and be kind of a troll in one interview and then be absolutely unsettling and mean in another. His vocals are pretty cool especially his throat singing type thing that he does. GG Allin should be on there as some of these other guys aren’t really intimidating to me personally.
Watch some gg allin (wasn't on the list) or gaahl interviews lol.
In general anything black metal seems to freak people out
GG allin wasn't intimidating he was just an absolute Pyscho
Both Orion and Nergal (first two) of Behemoth are just the nicest guys! They might look scary on stage, but off stage they are just awesome. Not sure I've ever met a metal artist who is scary or anything, vast majority have just been really nice.
That's the funniest, realest thing I've heard today. "You're a human, I CAN FIGHT YOU!" Lol always a joy watching your content, if sometimes for unexpected gems
Gorgoroth are part of the infamous Norwegian black metal scene, which is the only music scene that makes gangsta rappers look like choirboys. Gaahl was twice incarcerated, once for torturing a guy for 6 hours. In the early 1990’s a number of crimes in Norway, including murders and church burnings, were connected to bands like Mayhem, Burzum, and Emperor. At one point in time, three of the four members of Emperor were in prison simultaneously. Plus there was the infamous suicide of Mayhem vocalist Dead. The picture of the crime scene was later featured as the cover of one of their albums. There are a number of documentaries, books, and movies about this music scene such as “Lords of Chaos”, “Until the Light Takes Us”, etc.
Metallica - Hero Of The Day (S&M Concert 1999)
Please React to This Classic Masterpiece ....❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Having seen him a couple of times, Kvalforth is genuinely scary. A lot of musicians use fake blood on stage for effect, but he was actually cutting himself with razor blades in that footage - that's one of his schticks.
I agree and was surprised to scroll so far down to find a comment about him. But judging from the other comments I think a lot of people just don't know him or at least not his live performances.
Pretty sure Gaahl is like 6'7" and literally chained a guy up and tortured him for being too annoying at a party (to be fair he warned the guy to stop first)
He is not that tall, and never did something wrong to me. But the last time I talked to him I was there with a friend, and Gaahl and his female friend amused themselves just by pointing at my friend. Saying nothing else. Also, keep in mind that Gaahl designs dresses and such...
Your channel is great. Thanks for your informed takes on metal!
Pls Rammstein reaction Till voice is amazing and the best show in The World!😍
Well picked.
Gaahl actually did time in prison for deprivation of liberty and torture.
He said it was all a misunderstanding, and was simply trying to catch the guy's blood in a wine glass so it wouldn't stain his carpet.
The judge didn't believe him either.
Mushroomhead can be seen as intimidating or scary because of their masks, watch the QWERTY or out of my mind video and you will see 🙂
Niklas Kvarforth of Shining is the scariest to me. The more I read about him and his world view, the scarier he becomes 0_o it's kinda sad too, actually.

AoD would be great, because we've already seen the reaction to the opening.
A vocal coach reacting to Slayer is kind of pointless. Tom doesn't really sing. She should react to a song where he does sing, like Spill The Blood or Seasons In The Abyss.
the reason Till (the singer of Rammstein) is covered in "blood" is that the song is about a German cannibal (Armin Meiwes)
#8 Till Lindemann:
During Rammstein's early years, because of his use of over-the-top pyrotechnics, Lindemann has burned his ears, hair and arms.[15] Band mate Christoph Schneider commented, "Till gets burned all the time, but he likes the pain."[15]
During the filming of the band's music video for "Ich tu dir weh", Lindemann wanted a light put in his mouth to create a visually stunning effect.[25] Band mate Paul Landers suggested that he use a flesh colored wire and run it along his cheek to shine a light into his mouth from the outside.[25] Lindemann refused, and instead opted to have a surgical incision in his left cheek, so that a light could be fed into his mouth directly, and largely out of sight.[25][26]
#7 Henry Rollins:
Black Flag's change in musical style and appearance alienated many of their original fans, who focused their displeasure on Rollins by punching him in the mouth, stabbing him with pens, or scratching him with their nails, among other methods. He often fought back, dragging audience members on stage and assaulting them. During a Black Flag concert, Rollins repeatedly punched a fan in the face who had continuously reached for his microphone.[34] Rollins became increasingly alienated from the audience; in his tour diary, Rollins wrote "When they spit at me, when they grab at me, they aren't hurting me. When I push out and mangle the flesh of another, it's falling so short of what I really want to do to them."[35]
#6 Niklas Kvarforth:
Kvarforth is known in the scene for his extreme and sometimes violent behaviour during live performances, including fighting members of other bands, and handing out razor blades to audience members in 2007.[2][3] Kvarforth has also been accused of assaulting and threatening audience members in 2017.[4]
Kvarforth has also performed auto-mutilations onstage and seems to encourage the practice. He often states in interviews that he hates "everything that grows". It is unclear if his statements made to journalists are in earnest or simply to mock them. Many fans believe he generally holds journalists and reporters in contempt, and purposely mocks them.[5] Kvarforth himself has neither affirmed nor denied this publicly, but consistently expresses his hatred of other people, himself, various countries, and life itself.[6]
#4 Doyle
The man has literally thrown people who invade his space off the stage.
#3 Gaahl:
In 2002, Gaahl received a prison sentence for an assault which took place in 2000, and was ordered to pay the victim 158,000 NOK (about 25,300 US$).[4
In May 2004, Gaahl again received a prison sentence, for aggravated assault.[4] He appealed for a reduced sentence, and in February 2005 he was re-sentenced to fourteen months in prison and ordered to pay the victim 190,000 NOK (about 30,400 US$) in compensation.[4] The incident happened in February 2002 during a late-night party at Gaahl's house in Espedal, when he became involved in a confrontation with a man who arrived at his house. Gaahl was accused of severely beating the man, collecting his blood into a cup and threatening to make him drink it.[4] Gaahl said "I was the one who was attacked, but they think I punished him too hard. As I always say, when people cross my line and I let them know where the line is many steps before they cross it, and still they choose to cross it, then I will be the one to decide what their punishment will be".[9] He also claimed to have given the man the cup "so that he would not make such a mess in my house with all the blood".[4]
When asked in the documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005) for his thoughts on the church burnings associated with the early Norwegian black metal scene, Gaahl answered:
"Church burnings are, of course, a thing that I support one hundred percent. It should have been done much more, and will be done much more in the future. We have to remove every trace [of] what Christianity, and the semitic roots, have to offer this world."[34]
#2 Greg Puciato:
During The Dillinger Escape Plan's 2002 performance at the Reading Festival in the United Kingdom, Puciato defecated onstage, put it into a bag, and threw it into the crowd before smearing the rest onto himself, proclaiming "This is a bag of shit, I just wanted to show you this so you'll recognize it later on throughout the day" referring to other bands that would appear that day of the festival, especially Puddle of Mudd.[8][46] The act caused much controversy and had them on the verge of being banned in the UK.[46][47]
#1 Phil Anselmo:
Phil used to take a boxing trainer on tour with him. You would not want five minutes alone with Phil Anselmo.
Hey! Great suggestion! I did a reaction to Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live). Take a look here: ua-cam.com/video/CeNWPoiAEyM/v-deo.html&lc=Ugyz8J9YBECdkUBUoq14AaABAg

Number 3 Gorgoroth
Fun fact: Back there, behind the kit on drums is Einar Selvik of Wardruna. Yeah he started out drumming for Gorgoroth. And that vocalist, Gaahl is his name. He was in the original line up of Wardruna but couldn't stay on, touring the world, because of a bad criminal record. Good choice for most intimidating, since his intimidation has behind it some actual danger. (not condoning irl violence, just sayin').

10. Niklas Kvarforth (Shining)
I happened to see a picture of "Orion" from Behemoth without the makeup, and he is not a bad looking guy. Mostly it's the theatrical makeup (and/or masks) they apply which makes them appear intimidating, and for the most part these guys are really nice people.
