Anybody else every notice that the voice at the beginning of 'Iron Man' sounds oddly like a heavily medicated Cookie Monster?
Sir, this is such a commonly accepted music fact that most Black Metal vocalists are described as having "cookie monster voice."
Incidentally, this is also a common question by Tom Waits' children: "So were you going for a cookie monster thing on that one, Dad?"
Death-metal vocalizing is also known as Cookie Monster singing, if not in tribute to, at least in acknowledgment of, the "Sesame Street" puppet that blurts in a guttural growl, his words discharged so rapidly that they tend to collide with each other.

Just for the hell of it, I'm reposting the link to one of the best McSeeeneyy's evah!
COOKIE MONSTER SEARCHES DEEP WITHIN HIMSELF AND ASKS: IS ME REALLY MONSTER?
I'm not a fan of Cookie Monster singing. This can be a problem when listening to my station on Pandora for, well I'm not sure what it is called, symphonic metal with female vocals, goth metal, epic doom metal, whatever. Any Cookie Monster singing gets a quick thumbs down. This has led to a steady improvement in the station.
Heh, yeah, Gud, I used to get Cookie Monster singing on my station until I thumbsed enough of it down.

Heh. I hadn't seen that before. That's truly fantastic.
Fortunately Hubby knows I can't stand his death metal so he listens to headphones. FauxPods were a great discovery in our house. He has to have music playing to fall asleep, and I much prefer quiet.
Death Metal singing being referred to as Cookie Monster singing is making my day, dudes.
Pandora also has taught me that there are approximately a zillion sub-genres of metal.
