She was sick... They talked about it on some interview. Show must go on though. Props for going out there and dealing with it rather than canceling. I'm sure the fans would rather see her sick than not at all.
Wow, you're so cool. I just love how you just went and watched a video of a band that you know you wouldn't like, because you can't stand women singing, and then just started trolling and insulting. Coolest thing ever. You are the coolest person ever.
yeh somtimes she sounds a little wierd, but on the other side, when she does those lovely screams sometimes(and she got very nice clean parts too live:D), i really love this preformance, well im a really big fan of her too, i love all her "sounds" haha =D
The reason she wasn't screaming well in this was because she was sick. She says so in one of the other videos from the DVD. I've seen Otep live three times and she sounded brutal as fuck every single time, so it's definitely not because she uses effects.
So I'm vaguely familiar with this band and it's because of this song...Can anyone tell me what happened to the original guitarist from the Ghostflowers video? The guy with the medium length long hair. Was shocked to see about a 70 year old dude up there on guitar.
@phoinex13 i understand you, but you have to think that they, as a band, are having concerts already established long time before the actual concert, and this is more then obvious that she is really sick... i dind't think she planned this... anyway, is more then awsome that she was capable to get on that stage and make that loong show.... and it was good, considering the circumstances
i agree completely. i have been a huge OTEP fan for about eight years and i will even agree her voice sounds like shit. Its as if she doesnt even care. What ever happened to my Otep Shamaya from 2002-2004? GOD I MISS THOSE DAYS!!!
Its all live growls. Though I don't think she is fake. She may have hurt her voice or only be able to do some growls in a studio at a time. So live growls won't be great but at least she is real and clean vocals are good aside from being out of breath which is normal.
I think, it's played a little bit too fast at the beggining. And she has got destroyed voice. In some moments it sounds horrible. And, yes, she must be tired. But it's the fact of VOICE, not tired. But, anyway, cool song, nice show and awesome bass player! Cheers.
Otep has a more distinctive voice than Angela Gassow. Angela just sounds like a man and that's it She's cool tho but Otep has that smokey, seductive voice and she can play with with it more but Gassow can growl better.
Love Otep to death, but they (Shamaya, specifically) don't seem to do that well live. I'm sure it's the heat and intensity and doing a dozen songs in a row and all that, but she's not a great live performer as I've seen in videos. I've yet to see the band myself, I'm afraid.
The difference here is weither or not she is using effects her growls live are drastically below par. Arch enemy on the other hand live has amazing live growls
I broke my foot during this show ....
Otep's bassist is a monster!
thats what I miss the most how the bass player played that part at 2:00 mins . new one doesn't but I love her still
Haven't heard this since the year it came out. Still have the lyrics memorized. That's how you know the song is good!
The way she flipped her hat and then smiled at the end, God damn UNFFF
her growls are just....wow her growls are just.....yeah
She was sick... They talked about it on some interview. Show must go on though. Props for going out there and dealing with it rather than canceling. I'm sure the fans would rather see her sick than not at all.
Thank You OTEP & jx1y3
Damn beautiful song.
im shareing this on facebook :D
Say what you want I take my hat off to her for doing this live without lip sync or machines
Gemini Syndroms Vocalist is oteps guitarist great band everyone check em out \m/
i get to see them in a couple weeks! i'm so excited :)
She had polyps on her vocal chords at this point in time so, you are correct =]
I just saw her live twice in one week. If these vocals are off, it's a fluke. She is amazing live! No effects, just her.
my god i love this song
ever deep
So sick

Wow, you're so cool. I just love how you just went and watched a video of a band that you know you wouldn't like, because you can't stand women singing, and then just started trolling and insulting. Coolest thing ever. You are the coolest person ever.
i'd love to se this band live!!!
Woah she really sounds sick.... Bur I don't fucking care.... Beacuse she song her heart out.....can't wait to see her on Monday I'm chi-town!!!!!
Blu Ray worthy
Its rarely posible to achieve her growls, she has a very rare voice, its a shame she was already tired with this specific song /:
I am going to see them in STL Oct 1st
damn that sucks. i cant wait to see you guys live in march.
yeh somtimes she sounds a little wierd, but on the other side, when she does those lovely screams sometimes(and she got very nice clean parts too live:D), i really love this preformance, well im a really big fan of her too, i love all her "sounds" haha =D

Bassist kicks ass
@cubox1990 pero la viola el bajo y la bata como suenan? suenan mejor q en el estudio
Is her growl fake in CD or is it too harsh for her so she only does it on CD?
The reason she wasn't screaming well in this was because she was sick. She says so in one of the other videos from the DVD. I've seen Otep live three times and she sounded brutal as fuck every single time, so it's definitely not because she uses effects.
Totally agree
So I'm vaguely familiar with this band and it's because of this song...Can anyone tell me what happened to the original guitarist from the Ghostflowers video? The guy with the medium length long hair. Was shocked to see about a 70 year old dude up there on guitar.
Viewing Account idk about the original dude but the guitarist here is Aaron Nordstrom, currently the singer of an awesome band called Gemini Syndrome
She has a great voice! This song is fuckin great |m|
drummer !
damn, you really do impress with dictation.
@KahunaWalez DAMIT NOW WE HAVE 1 !!
does anyone knows which is the guitar that is playing aaron nordstrom??
Not sure, but that is somewhat common.
@phoinex13 i understand you, but you have to think that they, as a band, are having concerts already established long time before the actual concert, and this is more then obvious that she is really sick... i dind't think she planned this...

What other songs are on this dvd?

I much prefer the recorded version. :)
I hear some primus influence ;)
Santa plays guitar during his off season
Tommy Pickles

sorry I disagree - angela doesn't 'simply' sounds like a man, she sound like herself. unique talent.
I think Melissa Cross would come in handy then :)
He also has dreads apparently.
she doesn't use effects...arch enemy doesn't use effects and listen to them live
0 people are.... oh shit!
wtf is up with the hobo playing the guitar. i dont remember him the band
Her singing is not at the top, but I suppose that she has to have quite a lot of concerts before
Otep has a more distinctive voice than Angela Gassow. Angela just sounds like a man and that's it She's cool tho but Otep has that smokey, seductive voice and she can play with with it more but Gassow can growl better.

I could deal without the screaming if she was at least in the same key as her.band.
unfortunate
The band is kicking ass, but she mostly sounds like shit live.
Red Rover I think she's sick here.
m00rons she was with a cold
meh. I rather listen to the CD.
@cubox1990 NI AKIEN LE IMPORTA.. . GET A LIFE
Passionless..with damaged vocal chhhhhords...
My goodness... The whole thing sounds so incoherent... And this drum kick man! Really sounds bad.
