N/A down the board.

[The Destroyer]

when did flea join a Punk/Emo/Screamo band?
He played bass on the last Mars Volta album. Although I'm not even sure if that counts...

[mitchables]

Yeah, Penner would've been talking about the Volta gig. But I don't really classify them as punk/emo/screamo. :$

Best Screamer:
Bert McCracken - The Used (rank city)
Claudio Sanchez - Coheed and Cambria (noted for his amazing raptor screech)
Best Singer:
Adam Lazarra - Taking Back Sunday: for sheer emotional beauty
Jesse Lacey - Brand New: for suave goodness and intonation
Davey Havok - AFI: the man is a god. That is all.
Highest Singer:
Cedric Bixler Zavala - At the Drive In
Claudio Sanchez - Coheed and Cambria
Best Guitarist:
Too many to list. Notable mentions all around.
Best Bassist:
Again, too many to list, but at the moment, I am very into Matt McGinn from Cursive's work.
Best Drummer:
Gotta give it to Tucker from Thursday, at the moment. This will change in about 2 days, give or take.
Best Band Name:
Uhh... Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
Best Song Name:
"We Threw Gasoline On The Fire And Now We Have Stumps For Arms And No Eyebrows" - NOFX.
Best Overall Band Right Now:
Cursive. Though that doesn't really apply since they're on hiatus. They're what I'm listening to at the moment. But for bands that are still together, Taking Back Sunday.

[Penner]

If you don't count Flea...

Michael Todd from Coheed

[Penner]

i wonder if i can get more replies to this

[StrongMad]

Yeah, Penner would've been talking about the Volta gig. But I don't really classify them as punk/emo/screamo. :$
They definitely aren't and I'm sad that people think that they are. They are more of just a Progressive hard psychadelic rock band. They have nothing to do with emo/screamo/punk and neither did At the Drive-in. They shouldn't fall in with the emo catagory whatsoever.
