Wish I could delete vocals from songs

Has any of you ever thought about this???

I just found this video of Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) doing a cymbal test for Sabian performing one of the songs in their last album and man, that sounds awesome and with all those odd time signatures it really takes me on a journey.

This is the video I'm talking about

And then I searched for the original song which is this one:

and GOD, I just can't stand those type of vocals, like if someone was killing the guy and remembered why I don't like Meshuggah, but wish I could get versions of their songs without the vocals!!!

I know there are some vocal remover apps out there but all of them are terrible and distort the music.

Have you had similar thoughts with other bands???
 
They did an instrumental show in the states when Jens was sick... I would like to have seen that.

Pitch Black has more subtle vocals but it's part of the parcel so if you want to enjoy the music you'll have to hear Jens.

They can't touch meshuggah but check out tesseract, The contortionist, and chimp spanner (other djent bands). Periphery use clean vocals half the time too.

That would've been so cool to watch!!

Thanks, haven't heard of any of them but I'll check 'em out.
 
There are some bands with vocals like that in the warehouse rehearsal rooms where I have a rented space. My friends and I call those Cookie Monster vocals, and yeah, they are awful. Usually paired with drop D guitar tuning for that extra dose of badassery. ;-)
 
there's tons of original instrumental, acapella and isolated tracks on youtube to check out. from what i understand, these are taken from video games, or in some cases they're released by the artist on a b-sides or d/l.

there's a few ways to take out vocals...none of which really work well unless you have a pro program. if you hear something on youtube you dig, you can use real player to d/l it then rip the audio from the video file, but there's a few types of files uploaded to youtube that you can't rip the audio from the video (too much to go into here) unless you get the paid upgrade.

or you can use http://www.youtube-mp3.org. this is simple and fast to use. just cut and paste the URL, click convert then d/l in seconds. i've done this with old footage that would never be released like a radio show from the 40's, or a 50's tv commercial, etc....

use it for good not evil kids.
