I'm gonna take music lessons at some local place. I can't decide what to learn. Here are my potentialities:
Piano
Guitar
Triangle
Saxophone
Metal vocals
I was thinking piano since that would make it easy to make shitty techno stuff on my PC. I dunno though. I've wanted to learn some instruments for a long time but motivation/discipline is something of a rarity for me. Figured taking classes would provide structure for me. I'm just an ADD-riddled brainfuck (hence the lack of progress on making a decision here).
I would say piano but it's hard to practice if you don't have easy access to one. They are expensive and take up a lot of room. That and if you move a lot they aren't easy to take with you. Can you read music?
metal vocals, how is this even a question

An electronic keyboard is about as easy to transport as a guitar or sax and isn't all that expensive even if you get a good one with pressure-sensitive keys and good speakers and all those other features. There's really no use for a grand or upright acoustic piano with the kind of usage Super is describing.
Piano is definitely my favorite instrument to play personally. I have an electronic one.
Sexophone
piano 100%
you can translate into a sick synth player
if you can take two, take piano and vocals.
Piano gives you a good foundation musically and the stuff you learn on piano you can transfer to other instruments.
i agree with piano/keyboard, if ever i develop the attention span and discipline to learn an instrument that's what i'd pick
if not, guitar
in both cases because they're chord instruments, unlike the others

Metal is dumb
figures you'd say that; it takes a very high IQ to understand metal, especially pragueressive metal bassir;

um metal vocals is a chord instrument if you have
the skills
Piano since it can be transitioned to other stuff like guitar. Just hope you got a piano or keyboard at home.
I have an alright understanding of music theory from being in a high school choir for a few years. So I have a general idea of what it all means (apart from instrument specific glyphs and whatnot).
Lower-end electric keyboards aren't terribly pricey from what I've seen so the cost shouldn't be too much of an issue. I also have access to a guitar, so I wouldn't have to worry about that either.
