@ KrystalJenna:

Have you ever heard Velvet Revolver? Ive only heard a couple of songs, but theyre pretty good.

A Lead singer/screamer/growler/bassist (i sing, i play bass guitar, and i scream and growl as well) here are my favs:

Dream Theater-The guitarist for this band is Mark Tremontis huge influence.
