If you wanna check out a really, really charismatic voice...and a disturbing show...take a look at the german band called "Knorkator". I'm sure your reaction would be epic. 😉 th-cam.com/video/XS2JvfCwiQg/w-d-xo.html Knorkator is "the most Band in the World". Try it.
Elizabeth, your naive curiosity and open minded listening approach is totally infectious. Combined with your education and performing backround its a joy to watch you interview these people. The world needs more people like you discovering and showing musical diversity. Please continue doing what you’re doing!
Yeah, like this "I know little, but I'd like to know a lot" attitude makes the artists talk about so many different things than usual metal band interviews. I really really like these interviews on this video.
Love your interviewing style: Ask a question and let them answer. No cutting in. No leading the reply. Just listening intently to their answers and appreciating the time they’ve spent with you. Great job
About metal people being friendly: I'm from Finland. We have a lot of metal festivals. One of the biggest is held in the capital. Capital also host many other festivals throughout the year. It is well documented that the metal festival is the most peaceful one. I have heared elderly people liking the metal most, cause everyone is so nice, respectful and helpful. Police has stated that they have practically anything to do, and can enjoy the music and talk to people. Metal fans are really wholesome.
My experience is that any/all anger/frustration/anxiety/fear gets ripped out in the music. Thats how i do it anyway, and its always seemed like most everyone around me. The pits can get effing nutz, but outside of that, everyone is pretty decent. Screaming, jokes, zanny behavior... but its all in fun and we help each other. I buy drinks, help people up, always say hello, always shake hands or hug, and thank those helping me. Music brings out connections! Music is life!
Same here in the states. I'm a regular at ProgPower USA in Atlanta, and we've gotten to know the cops and the security team pretty well over the years. It's very non-eventful as far as security needs go. It's funny to see all these black t-shirt wearing folks. We look pretty menacing, but I think we're all engineers and accountants. LOL.
Absolutely great to see these appearing! It was wonderful to have you with us at Bloodstock and I'm glad it was such an great experience for you! Thank you for spending some of your precious time to do an interview with us at BloodstockTV (coming soon on our BloodstockFestivals TH-cam channel!) and thanks for your tips and advice on looking after MY voice! I hope you can join us again some time - take care! (PS - I didn't realise you found out about Bloodstock from Grant's Twitch stream - that was ME chatting in there as BloodstockFest!

Yessss! It was fantastic to meet you in person, and so hilarious about the Twitch stream! Kirk sent Adam an email after that and it all just happened. So, thank you for initiating things! It was an absolute pleasure, and I am totally looking forward to my interview on your channel! We'll get the TCV crew over there for the premiere, just let me know. And yes to future Bloodstocks! It will happen. :-)

Our BloodstockTV interview with Elizabeth will be premiered TOMORROW (Friday September 10th - 8pm UK time, 3pm EDT, 12pm PDT) on the official Bloodstock Festival Twitch channel! See you there! www.twitch.tv/BloodstockFest
I've always said that a metal festival is one of the most peaceful places you can ever be. Glad Elizabeth got to enjoy it herself and im really stoked of how much he enjoyed it. Its really amazing that despite Covid, it seems that more people are diving into metal
Finland's biggest metal festival Tuska, that turned 20 in 2018, has had the least order disturbances combined than one pop festival. So yes, even in the metal capital of the world has peaceful metal festivals :D
Despite having clinical depression and social anxiety I was fine going to a paradise lost gig. I know doom fans are the most gentle non intrusive types and I feel comfortable around these people.
Oh darn! The question about how reaction channels help the metal scene (or the music community in general) got some really great answers which fit perfectly with how I see things. When I see a reactor launching a reaction to a song I've listened to for many years, I initially just want to see if the reactor likes it as much as I do. But when I see the whole video, I notice how the reactor likes it even more and for a whole other reason which I hadn't even realized existed. Seeing others analyse music is an eye-opener for sure. And as a non-singer myself, finding out how technically hard some songs are makes me even more impressed with the band's performance, arrangement and their overall skill. Those fresh eyes seeing the same song I've heard a million times opens up my own eyes even more. That's why I love reaction videos like The Charismatic Voice, Julia Nilon, Temple Music Academy, Tank the Tech and many others.
Wecken Open Air has around 80000 people. And it still feels very friendly and like a huge family gathering. It’s said that policemen and medical personnel actively look for getting to work at the festival because they love it
Yes for most of my life, music was Jazz R&B and Country. Metal was something that seemed to be a group of people making noise. You have lead me to the understanding that the people in metal are a very talented. If you turn the volume down just a bit, you can hear the intricate and innovated nature you will find in Jazz and the soulful messaging you can find in R&B and Country. My bad for taking so long to come to this realization. Your good for giving me that revelation
Don't worry brother, you have every right to think what you wish, being free to think and judge is what makes life better. We are happy to hear that you are discovering a new world in metal, I hope you find good bands that make you happy and of course bang your head a lot! Funny is that because of metal especially because of Ronnie James Dio (Elf/Rainbow/Black Sabbath/Dio) I discovered the world of Jazz and R&B, yes one of the greatest metal vocalists of all time encouraged me to look for other types and genres of music because of one of his bands, ELF. So brother, you are not alone in the journey of finding new genres and opening your mind to a new world. I wish you all the best, From a Power Metal fan! 🤟
"If you turn the volume down just a bit, you can hear the intricate and innovated nature you will find in Jazz and the soulful messaging you can find in R&B and Country." And then you turn the volume back up and start rocking I hope! LOL! No need to apologize, some people still persist in the idea that metal is noise. I was going to go on a bit of a tangent, then I realized that the previous gentleman already said everything perfectly! 🤘
I love how the various singers are asking you for warmup and vocal tips. Fantastic video Elizabeth. The interviews are spot on. Thank you so much for your hard work on this.
I gotta be honest, this was FANTASTIC! I LOVE watching this journey of "metal discovery" especially when it comes to the community. Its fucking beautiful! 🤘🤘
The metal community is like the opposite of mimics in dnd. They're something that appears inocent and harmless that's going to try to kill you. And the metal community appears like something that's going to try to kill you, but we're mostly innocent. Your channel, and the joyous yet professional nature of your reactions is just... nice isn't a nice enough word for it honestly. The passion, respect and love you have for music is refreshing.
Watching Elizabeth talk to Visy, and geek out about how throat-singing works - and seeing his face as he realises she is talking technically, not just fanning about throat-singing! So good :D
I first started watching this thinking OK I'll watch for a few minutes but I'm not going to watch the whole thing... here I am an hour later and I loved the whole thing! lol especially that moment where Matthew Corry talked about how music helped to get his brain moving again. It immediately reminded me of Cody Lee who is special needs, but when he sings, it's like he's any other person (but with an incredible voice!). It really is amazing how music makes the brain work. Great interviews, Elizabeth!
I'm a Phoenix Boys choir Alumni.fellow Arizonian and an all my life metalhead that discovered Elizabeth's channel early on. It's been so so so wonderful to see her discovery into metal and the talent it brings!!! This was an AWESOME video and hope you don't miss Unleash the Archers in September right here in Mesa \m/!!!!!!!!!! You are awesome!!!
I love that you asked that final question. I think it's so fucking great that you and the reaction community on TH-cam are helping Metal and other heavy genres get out there. Without trying to sound like a dick, we've often been maligned, bullied and treated badly for being into it and having people from "the outside" actually stand up and say "these people are talented, they know what they are doing and are shredding it" Your comments will be full of love but I enjoy your videos and thanks for giving the music we love a voice where non-fans can hear it.
This may be now, but this wasn't always then. Particularly with thrash. When Metallica broke out with Ride the Lightning, it loosed the acceptability of crank. It had been a drug of the wastrels. It was suddenly cool. Friends who had once had an overnight experience with cocaine sorta bragged about having gone on 72 hour binges where, at the end, they superglued hairs across the door jambs and window sills to make sure that the CIA didn't break in while they crashed for a day and a half. Now that the survivors are parents and grandparents, it is more a family affair.
Well Done Elisabeth & Kirk...what you are doing is validating Metal, in all forms) as valid & worthy of praise. I am male & have a near 5 octave range, yet had Opera & Classical friends look down on my music styles...until they had to stop singing & I am still going great...plus I can play any instrument except woodwind & brass...So I am a session player as well...showed up those snobs & then some! I love watching Elisabeth find something, or be recommended something (Dio, Maiden, Lzzy Hale & Nightwish come to mind), And as she listens, it is like watching the joy on a kid opening a wrapped present...It is so worth watching you and your fabulous critique. Please don't stop! Love & respect to you both!
Watching this channel has been such an emotional roller coaster for me. On your side Elizabeth, it has been all positive vibey good feels. I turn to this channel when I get depressed. I am a vet of 3 tours in combat. This channel is a kind of refuge to me because I have a great deal of musical feeling but I never learned any instrument. So your analysis is educational as well.
Elizabeth your posture is awe-inspiring! Obviously the video with interviews and commentaries speaks for itself, of which it is top notch quality. Kudos!
Your journey has been absolutely amazing, you have gone from dabbling to becoming a fully fledged metal fan and I think you have definitely cemented yourself as mainstay of metal interviewers, glad you enjoyed bloodstock it really was an emotional week.
Amazing interviews, smart questions. I was so hooked, I almost let my dinner burn in the oven :D I love the channel. Keep doing what you do! Cheers from Germany.
This is now one of the best videos on TH-cam. Absolutely great interviews. Only problem I saw is that Elizabeth's bright, vivid, beautiful self stood out a little too much sometimes against the dark backgrounds and it became obvious that she is a CGI creation and not real... great programming, Kurt!
Hi Elisabeth; so glad you got to experience Bloodstock as an opera/classical singer. I've attended 9 festivals and they really are the best in the UK. Your openness to metal in your reviews is great and I love your passion - you've listened to a ton of my fave bands and pointed out things I've never heard even after 30 years. The Miles Kennedy Blackbird one recently was spot on - you were gushing, and I get a little hint you like him a lot ;) TBF that song is awesome and he is a really great guy. Awesome live too - Saw him with Slash in Blackpool UK and the gig was spot on. Keep up the great reviews and I'm so glad someone with your vocal knowledge can appreciate bands my parents hate like Type O Negative etc ;)
Wow such an enthralling video! Saw it was like an hour plus, and thought I’d give it a listen for 10 minutes or so. Before I realised, l’m at the end of the video. Such interesting interviews and everyone seemed so amiable and appreciative of what Bloodstock and the metal scene represents. And everyone was so happy to be rocking out at long last. Thanks for uploading this, an hour of my time well spent
Man, this is the definition of wholesomeness. I am drawn to your content for an unkown reason. Neither do I sing, nor am I a huge metal person, yet I just enjoy your genuine curiosity. Oh, and the guy who politely asked whether he could swear really got me. Peace!
Wow what an amazing set of interviews here! I gotta tell ya, whenever I'm feeling down, this is the channel I come to! It really helps me feel better about life! :)
I am just as interested in your questions and reactions as the person your interviewing. You have such an engaging style - I feel like I'm the third person in the room. Great selection of everything! Thanks so much!
For me, channels like yours were trained and qualified teachers in music do these analysis videos validates metal as a style. Pointing out, not only the complexity of a piece but also how it is structured and put together for overall feel. Your conversations during this particular video also highlighted an amazing level of communication and conversation which the metal scene often gets put down for. Something I’ve been saying all of my metal loving life (pretty much most of my 57 years) that you can never judge a book by its cover!
Wonderful job. Your interviews are very refreshing compared to most. You should do more festivals. When the interviewer is giving tips to the singers...That's what makes you top notch. Love your enthusiasm! Keep doing what you're doing! Much love and respect. 🤘❤
Best festival that I've been to. The atmosphere is so good. It's like meeting up with extended family. I've been 6 times, and have bumped into Adam, Vicky and Rachel over the years. They all stopped for a chat and were great. Love the place.
You’re allowing the segment of metal music to have a voice. I’ve gained a greater appreciation to this style. Thank you for expanding my musical boundaries.
I gotta say, that was one of the best TH-cam reactions I have ever seen. I just found a whole group of bands I've never heard of and started following them. And got a lot of new favorite bands in the process. I follow a lot of reactors and a lot of vocal coaches reactions. The Charismatic Voice took it to the next level with this video. I didn't even pause the video as it was so riveting. Sorry it had to end. Great video.
So the experience changed your perspective about metal music and community. I LOVE that you talked to Larissa. She’s awesome! I really liked her in xWolf Downx but she left that band for some reasons I won’t mention here. I like venom prison too but it’s a different genre of music to me. Great interviews. Hope we can get more of this in the future.
My favorite thing about the metal scene is the family vibe! A lot of people (with good reason) assume we're all angry, mean, aggressive people but then you read about people like death metal drummer Donald Tardy (Obituary) risking his own life to go into a hurricane to rescue a stray kitten from certain death. That is more indicative of what metal people are really like.
Last question was the best! It's exactly how I see and feel things! Rock/punk/metal people are very passionate but misunderstood. Our music is allways refered as "that noisy thing" without the proper attention to all the effort, education, training, dedication, passion and love we put into it. It's been amazing to watch you discover the world of metal (atually, it's a whole UNIVERSE) with an open mind and see that you're actually enjoying that adventure and learning things that you didn't even knew existed, but that are so familiar to us! That makes us all feel apreciated, respected and understood. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FROM ALL THE ROCKERS AROUND THE WORLD 🥰
Bloodstock is 52 miles from my house..😁 Lucky me.. Didn't go this year, but my 22 year old daughter did.. She's a chip off the old block.😎🤘 As a fest its way more intimate than download. A perfect start place.. One thing we do Betty than anyone in the world.. Is a metal it anything Festival.. Really glad you enjoyed it Elizabeth.🤘🤘
You are good at this. I like that you've chosen to do your channel your way. You've created a unique perspective from which to see music, transcending genres.
It was really fascinating to hear Ol's take on vocal performance and the confidence element as he's only started doing lead vocals for Evile relatively recently. He's still the best guitarist I've seen live, bar none. This was a great video, thanks for sharing.
Love, love the relaxed atmosphere of your interviews. All bands seem so at ease, and, it's mentioned before; LOVE the fact you don't interrupt them. Great job!
Outstanding video Elizabeth, I think you perfectly encapsulated what makes Metal so awesome. The bands, the fans and the organisers are all super passionate and extraordinarily friendly. I'm so glad you and Kirk had a great time.
Hopefully this is as good as the teatime interviews. Who am I kidding , of course it will be great. Elizabeth is a great interviewer. Let’s put this on the to watch list.
What a fantastic video. I'm a Bloodstock die hard and it is so lovely to see somebody like yourself who knows the "art" of singing enjoying our tiny little corner of life. I've always been interested in singing and watching this gave me a hell of a lot more appreciation for what the bands that I love do. So thank you so very much. Keep up the great work you just got a new sub.
I’m here for the interviews, sure. But I’m also here for Elizabeth’s outfit changes. Also, hearing Skindred at 13:00 made me so happy. Criminally underrated band.
@@TheCharismaticVoice that is going to be amazing, he is a great human being but also so funny, I just hope you'll be able to understand his Welsh sense of humour and sarcasm, even as someone who lived in Wales for 8 years it can be difficult 😂
Definitely one of your best videos yet! A very refreshing change from the normal interviews at festivals. Really great to see the bands reacting so positively to the questioning and getting an insight to the technical aspects behind the music.
I love this whole tell-all experience you presented with the hopes of educating, it has helped me feel more comfortable in possibly attending a metal festival in the future. I was always worried about the setting due to my disability/limp if it would be a unsafe environment but seeing how wholesome most the crowds are is reassuring. Much love and appreciate the channel
That was a great video. I particularly liked how you ended on how much of a benefit to metal worldwide all of these reaction channels (especially the ones like this one that do solid analysis as well) can be. I still see too much negativity in comments sometimes, not to mention the copyright claims by boneheaded rights holders (and their algorithms) who don't understand free advertising, when it can only be beneficial to our community to expose more people to metal! Okay, we should be wary of people who want to come in and forcefully change things instead of enjoying metal's rich history and continuing evolution, but that caveat aside, I think more metalheads is all around a good thing.
This was my 3rd Bloodstock and I try to go every year if I can x The line-ups are always great, the bands tend to stick around and jump in the pits for other bands later in the weekend, and its a great way to meet people x Awesome to hear this interviews from a newcomer perspective
Elizabeth, this was fantastic and this is something I would love to see you do again for any type of music festival. I have been to several types of music festivals and many of the questions you asked are things I have been curious about. Thank you for doing this. In your interview with Matthew Corry about getting singing lessons after a car crash reminded me that music therapy is actually a medical degree.
Wow wow wow! Awesomeness times a million! Very emotional. I've been part of the metal scene for nearly 35 years. Listening, playing and organizing and it was wonderful to see the reactions of yourself to the artists and their reactions to you and your channel. Good music is good music regardless of style. I love your work and hope it continues and grows.
I used to go to Download over a decade ago but have since only really gone to smaller, and less strict, festivals here in Ireland, but this really makes me want to get tickets to the next BloodStock. Seems like the vibe I like from the smaller festivals here, but with metal!
I didn't think it was possible to like you any more than I already did, but you proved me wrong once again. Excellent video, great questions. Love your enthusiasm and quest for knowledge about everything voice related, no matter the genre.
Glad to see that you enjoyed being amongst us metal/punk folks! Welcome! Most of us aren't as scary as we (sometimes) look. If you want to really go into the belly of the beast as far as extreme vocals,there's a festival in Czech called "Obscene Extreme" every year. It's dedicated to mainly grindcore bands,and it looks like more fun than I can describe here. Everyone wears crazy costumes while some of the craziest music plays. You seem to be very interested in harsh vocals,and this is like a library of them. Love you and the channel,keep up the good work! Cheers.
I probably can proclaim the headliner for Wacken next year: IRON MAIDEN They just released a new album, Wacken loves Maiden, Maiden loves Wacken, what would be better fitting?
I saw the name of this video and immediately thought the same thing as everyone else did. You guys went to Bloodstock!? Soo freaking cool! \m/ I have met 100’s of famous metal band musicians while they were on tour. My dad is the drummer in an original well known 70’s classic rock band so I always had an in with the music industry. I have been back stage many times, I have been on the stage or side stage while many bands have performed. I have been on tour busses. I have even been a roadie and helped bands set up there instruments before hand and then helped take them down after the bands set. You name it I have done it over the years in the entire rock world. Please keep the great work you do!!
As much as I love your channel I was not planning on watching this. I mean, an hr long runtime?!?! But I totally got sucked in and loved every minute!!! I sometimes forget just how new you are to the genre. I'm so glad you're enjoying it!!!
I worked concessions at Rock on the Range for three years. Metal fans are very good to work with and well-behaved. I can't think of any problems with the bands or fans. Really great people!
Great interviews! I had not heard of any of these bands before this, but will now go and check them all out! :) I particularly enjoyed your conversations with Matthew Corry from Fellowship! Could listen to you two talk for hours :)
Wow. That was really enjoyable to watch. Your questions were amazing. The depth of the answers, from the band members, as well. Hopefully, in 2022 we get to see a few more of these. Thank you! NIko
Having worked on several festivals in the past decade, having met and driven people of fame, I just love this video. This is my experience of people of fame as well at the backstage.
Glad that you want to experience being in the world of metal. Despite how brutal the song and crowds are, believe me, we treat each other with respect. Literally all metallers are like family. We are misnderstood by many. Welcome to the metal family.
I hardly ever engage with anyone on youtube especially people who react to music videos....most are fake, some just say "yeah that was great" and that's it....but i started following you recently and was really impressed by how you explain the different techniques that a singer uses and you even point out parts of a song that i had completely missed. You are one of the most genuine 'reactors'(if thats what its called) on youtube and i honestly wish you all the best and look forward to more insightful reactions.
Wow. This was a fantastic Interview. So emotional and personal. No comercial interest. Only exposing each craftmanship. Focus put on the Artist. Love it. Keep this up and spread it!!
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

I'm sure your reaction would be epic.

She's now turning into a real Rock Chick
Yeah, like this "I know little, but I'd like to know a lot" attitude makes the artists talk about so many different things than usual metal band interviews. I really really like these interviews on this video.
WORD
Yeah, great stuff! But I don’t think naïve is a nice way to describe her. Maybe it’s a language thing. But I know what you mean.
Maybe the metal heads should start listening to...and appreciating opera......if they are open minded.....works 2 ways..
It was a pleasure to chat with you, Elizabeth! Glad you enjoyed Bloodstock as much as we did 🔥
Love your interviewing style: Ask a question and let them answer. No cutting in. No leading the reply. Just listening intently to their answers and appreciating the time they’ve spent with you. Great job
Oh, yes! I also appreciated how there was no interrupting. I wish more interviewers were this respectful.
This is how interviewing used to be before the media became biased.
wonderful elizabeth thank you
ALLof the various band members you could see enjoyed answering what were obviously very different and unique questions
Hi, I love you!
This lady really turned into a metalhead in the last year. I love it.
About metal people being friendly:

That's also what I've experienced in German Metal festivals.
It seems to be like o
99% wholesome and 1% really, really awful.
My experience is that any/all anger/frustration/anxiety/fear gets ripped out in the music. Thats how i do it anyway, and its always seemed like most everyone around me. The pits can get effing nutz, but outside of that, everyone is pretty decent. Screaming, jokes, zanny behavior... but its all in fun and we help each other.

@@DioHard HA! day made.
The metal community is like the opposite of mimics in dnd. They're something that appears inocent and harmless that's going to try to kill you. And the metal community appears like something that's going to try to kill you, but we're mostly innocent.
Your channel, and the joyous yet professional nature of your reactions is just... nice isn't a nice enough word for it honestly. The passion, respect and love you have for music is refreshing.
Watching Elizabeth talk to Visy, and geek out about how throat-singing works - and seeing his face as he realises she is talking technically, not just fanning about throat-singing! So good :D
He looked like he was happy to talk with someone who understands what he does and appreciates the art of it.
I first started watching this thinking OK I'll watch for a few minutes but I'm not going to watch the whole thing... here I am an hour later and I loved the whole thing! lol especially that moment where Matthew Corry talked about how music helped to get his brain moving again. It immediately reminded me of Cody Lee who is special needs, but when he sings, it's like he's any other person (but with an incredible voice!). It really is amazing how music makes the brain work. Great interviews, Elizabeth!
I'm a Phoenix Boys choir Alumni.fellow Arizonian and an all my life metalhead that discovered Elizabeth's channel early on. It's been so so so wonderful to see her discovery into metal and the talent it brings!!! This was an AWESOME video and hope you don't miss Unleash the Archers in September right here in Mesa \m/!!!!!!!!!! You are awesome!!!
I love that you asked that final question. I think it's so fucking great that you and the reaction community on TH-cam are helping Metal and other heavy genres get out there. Without trying to sound like a dick, we've often been maligned, bullied and treated badly for being into it and having people from "the outside" actually stand up and say "these people are talented, they know what they are doing and are shredding it"
Your comments will be full of love but I enjoy your videos and thanks for giving the music we love a voice where non-fans can hear it.
every metal festival is like big family meeting - good vibes, good beer, good music. Everybody have great time.
This may be now, but this wasn't always then. Particularly with thrash. When Metallica broke out with Ride the Lightning, it loosed the acceptability of crank. It had been a drug of the wastrels. It was suddenly cool. Friends who had once had an overnight experience with cocaine sorta bragged about having gone on 72 hour binges where, at the end, they superglued hairs across the door jambs and window sills to make sure that the CIA didn't break in while they crashed for a day and a half.
Now that the survivors are parents and grandparents, it is more a family affair.
I'm still at your intro, but I'm SOOOOO happy to see you enter the metal scene proper now. We're all glad to have you!
Well Done Elisabeth & Kirk...what you are doing is validating Metal, in all forms) as valid & worthy of praise. I am male & have a near 5 octave range, yet had Opera & Classical friends look down on my music styles...until they had to stop singing & I am still going great...plus I can play any instrument except woodwind & brass...So I am a session player as well...showed up those snobs & then some! I love watching Elisabeth find something, or be recommended something (Dio, Maiden, Lzzy Hale & Nightwish come to mind), And as she listens, it is like watching the joy on a kid opening a wrapped present...It is so worth watching you and your fabulous critique. Please don't stop! Love & respect to you both!
Classical is just Metal before electricity
@@chadfalardeau5396 I smell a new t-shirt...
So awesome you got to Interview Matt from Fellowship on their first concert and sadly Thomas on His last as Angus.
Truth. There was a few more firsts. Matt was quite interesting to interview! Check out Fellowship!
Watching this channel has been such an emotional roller coaster for me. On your side Elizabeth, it has been all positive vibey good feels. I turn to this channel when I get depressed. I am a vet of 3 tours in combat. This channel is a kind of refuge to me because I have a great deal of musical feeling but I never learned any instrument. So your analysis is educational as well.
Elizabeth your posture is awe-inspiring! Obviously the video with interviews and commentaries speaks for itself, of which it is top notch quality. Kudos!
You've got a real talent for interviewing, Elizabeth. Well done indeed!
Your journey has been absolutely amazing, you have gone from dabbling to becoming a fully fledged metal fan and I think you have definitely cemented yourself as mainstay of metal interviewers, glad you enjoyed bloodstock it really was an emotional week.
Amazing interviews, smart questions. I was so hooked, I almost let my dinner burn in the oven :D
I love the channel. Keep doing what you do!
Cheers from Germany.
This is now one of the best videos on TH-cam. Absolutely great interviews. Only problem I saw is that Elizabeth's bright, vivid, beautiful self stood out a little too much sometimes against the dark backgrounds and it became obvious that she is a CGI creation and not real... great programming, Kurt!
Hi Elisabeth; so glad you got to experience Bloodstock as an opera/classical singer. I've attended 9 festivals and they really are the best in the UK. Your openness to metal in your reviews is great and I love your passion - you've listened to a ton of my fave bands and pointed out things I've never heard even after 30 years. The Miles Kennedy Blackbird one recently was spot on - you were gushing, and I get a little hint you like him a lot ;) TBF that song is awesome and he is a really great guy. Awesome live too - Saw him with Slash in Blackpool UK and the gig was spot on. Keep up the great reviews and I'm so glad someone with your vocal knowledge can appreciate bands my parents hate like Type O Negative etc ;)
I saw you a couple of times at the festival and said hi briefly, glad you enjoyed! The metal community is the best and bloodstock is my happy place.
Wow such an enthralling video! Saw it was like an hour plus, and thought I’d give it a listen for 10 minutes or so. Before I realised, l’m at the end of the video. Such interesting interviews and everyone seemed so amiable and appreciative of what Bloodstock and the metal scene represents. And everyone was so happy to be rocking out at long last. Thanks for uploading this, an hour of my time well spent
Man, this is the definition of wholesomeness. I am drawn to your content for an unkown reason. Neither do I sing, nor am I a huge metal person, yet I just enjoy your genuine curiosity.
Oh, and the guy who politely asked whether he could swear really got me. Peace!
Wow what an amazing set of interviews here! I gotta tell ya, whenever I'm feeling down, this is the channel I come to! It really helps me feel better about life! :)
I am just as interested in your questions and reactions as the person your interviewing. You have such an engaging style - I feel like I'm the third person in the room. Great selection of everything! Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed the interviews, E! Kirk did an excellent job as well! 😎👍🏻
Thank you, Howard!
For me, channels like yours were trained and qualified teachers in music do these analysis videos validates metal as a style. Pointing out, not only the complexity of a piece but also how it is structured and put together for overall feel. Your conversations during this particular video also highlighted an amazing level of communication and conversation which the metal scene often gets put down for. Something I’ve been saying all of my metal loving life (pretty much most of my 57 years) that you can never judge a book by its cover!
Very nice to have analysis In our beloved music by a professional like you.
Great to see you on this festival
Thanx for introducing SEIDRBLOT to me....such a frendly person....amazing music!
So glad you loved Bloodstock. Only time of year I feel I can be 100% myself around similar easy going open minded people.
OH, she is so beautiful and has such a cute smile... but also has such a breadth of musical knowledge - what a treat.
Wonderful job. Your interviews are very refreshing compared to most. You should do more festivals. When the interviewer is giving tips to the singers...That's what makes you top notch. Love your enthusiasm! Keep doing what you're doing! Much love and respect. 🤘❤
Best festival that I've been to. The atmosphere is so good. It's like meeting up with extended family. I've been 6 times, and have bumped into Adam, Vicky and Rachel over the years. They all stopped for a chat and were great. Love the place.
You’re allowing the segment of metal music to have a voice. I’ve gained a greater appreciation to this style. Thank you for expanding my musical boundaries.
I gotta say, that was one of the best TH-cam reactions I have ever seen. I just found a whole group of bands I've never heard of and started following them. And got a lot of new favorite bands in the process. I follow a lot of reactors and a lot of vocal coaches reactions. The Charismatic Voice took it to the next level with this video. I didn't even pause the video as it was so riveting. Sorry it had to end. Great video.
So the experience changed your perspective about metal music and community. I LOVE that you talked to Larissa. She’s awesome! I really liked her in xWolf Downx but she left that band for some reasons I won’t mention here. I like venom prison too but it’s a different genre of music to me. Great interviews. Hope we can get more of this in the future.
My favorite thing about the metal scene is the family vibe! A lot of people (with good reason) assume we're all angry, mean, aggressive people but then you read about people like death metal drummer Donald Tardy (Obituary) risking his own life to go into a hurricane to rescue a stray kitten from certain death. That is more indicative of what metal people are really like.
Last question was the best! It's exactly how I see and feel things! Rock/punk/metal people are very passionate but misunderstood. Our music is allways refered as "that noisy thing" without the proper attention to all the effort, education, training, dedication, passion and love we put into it.
It's been amazing to watch you discover the world of metal (atually, it's a whole UNIVERSE) with an open mind and see that you're actually enjoying that adventure and learning things that you didn't even knew existed, but that are so familiar to us! That makes us all feel apreciated, respected and understood.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
FROM ALL THE ROCKERS AROUND THE WORLD
🥰
Bloodstock is 52 miles from my house..😁
Lucky me..
Didn't go this year, but my 22 year old daughter did..
She's a chip off the old block.😎🤘
As a fest its way more intimate than download.
A perfect start place..
One thing we do Betty than anyone in the world..
Is a metal it anything Festival..
Really glad you enjoyed it Elizabeth.🤘🤘
You are good at this. I like that you've chosen to do your channel your way. You've created a unique perspective from which to see music, transcending genres.
In my opinion, metal tends to have the nicest fanbase of any musical genre.
God, Matthew from Fellowship is just such a consistently nice dude.
It was really fascinating to hear Ol's take on vocal performance and the confidence element as he's only started doing lead vocals for Evile relatively recently. He's still the best guitarist I've seen live, bar none. This was a great video, thanks for sharing.
Next Bloodstock: Elizabeth actually performs a song on stage in place of one of the band's lead vocalists.
Love, love the relaxed atmosphere of your interviews. All bands seem so at ease, and, it's mentioned before; LOVE the fact you don't interrupt them. Great job!
Outstanding video Elizabeth, I think you perfectly encapsulated what makes Metal so awesome. The bands, the fans and the organisers are all super passionate and extraordinarily friendly. I'm so glad you and Kirk had a great time.
Hopefully this is as good as the teatime interviews. Who am I kidding , of course it will be great. Elizabeth is a great interviewer. Let’s put this on the to watch list.
What a fantastic video. I'm a Bloodstock die hard and it is so lovely to see somebody like yourself who knows the "art" of singing enjoying our tiny little corner of life. I've always been interested in singing and watching this gave me a hell of a lot more appreciation for what the bands that I love do. So thank you so very much. Keep up the great work you just got a new sub.
I’m here for the interviews, sure. But I’m also here for Elizabeth’s outfit changes. Also, hearing Skindred at 13:00 made me so happy. Criminally underrated band.
"Rappers React" in the h.
I'll be interviewing Benji next month. ;-)
@@TheCharismaticVoice YESSSSSS! OMG, I’m SO excited! He’s unlike any other vocalist in metal.
@@TheCharismaticVoice that is going to be amazing, he is a great human being but also so funny, I just hope you'll be able to understand his Welsh sense of humour and sarcasm, even as someone who lived in Wales for 8 years it can be difficult 😂
Great video. Glad you were able to see your first live metal performances!
For me Elizabeth is an adopted daughter of Metal right now!🤘🤘🤘
Definitely one of your best videos yet! A very refreshing change from the normal interviews at festivals. Really great to see the bands reacting so positively to the questioning and getting an insight to the technical aspects behind the music.
It was lovely to meet you and your husband and thanks again for the pic that hubby took with my phone ;) Great video ^^
I love this whole tell-all experience you presented with the hopes of educating, it has helped me feel more comfortable in possibly attending a metal festival in the future. I was always worried about the setting due to my disability/limp if it would be a unsafe environment but seeing how wholesome most the crowds are is reassuring. Much love and appreciate the channel
That was a great video. I particularly liked how you ended on how much of a benefit to metal worldwide all of these reaction channels (especially the ones like this one that do solid analysis as well) can be. I still see too much negativity in comments sometimes, not to mention the copyright claims by boneheaded rights holders (and their algorithms) who don't understand free advertising, when it can only be beneficial to our community to expose more people to metal!
Okay, we should be wary of people who want to come in and forcefully change things instead of enjoying metal's rich history and continuing evolution, but that caveat aside, I think more metalheads is all around a good thing.
you just introduced me to my new favorite power metal band, thank you!!!!!!!!! Fellowship woooooooooo
This was my 3rd Bloodstock and I try to go every year if I can x The line-ups are always great, the bands tend to stick around and jump in the pits for other bands later in the weekend, and its a great way to meet people x Awesome to hear this interviews from a newcomer perspective
What an awesome vid!!! Thank you
Hooray!!! Been anxiously awaiting this video.
So Elizabeth has been giving vocal techniques to different bands, so everyone’s next album should sound amazing, at least vocally!!!
Or maybe they all gave her metal vocal tips and now she's going to make a killer metal album 😎
@@hinjurock70 I'd give that a fair hearing - wouldn't be surprised if it were superb.
Festivals have found a way to come back and it's wonderful.
We're so proud of you. You have literally improved music and the human interaction with it. Bravo!
Your first metal festival? You'll love it!!!
Elizabeth, this was fantastic and this is something I would love to see you do again for any type of music festival. I have been to several types of music festivals and many of the questions you asked are things I have been curious about. Thank you for doing this. In your interview with Matthew Corry about getting singing lessons after a car crash reminded me that music therapy is actually a medical degree.
Wow wow wow! Awesomeness times a million! Very emotional. I've been part of the metal scene for nearly 35 years. Listening, playing and organizing and it was wonderful to see the reactions of yourself to the artists and their reactions to you and your channel. Good music is good music regardless of style. I love your work and hope it continues and grows.
I used to go to Download over a decade ago but have since only really gone to smaller, and less strict, festivals here in Ireland, but this really makes me want to get tickets to the next BloodStock. Seems like the vibe I like from the smaller festivals here, but with metal!
thank you for this great video, elizabeth. was a pleasure to watch.
Thank you, Coffeine!
Thank you for taking us along with you and for bringing back so much of the festival. It only bumps up the bucket list a little higher!
Enjoyed my first live chat.Much appreciated!
I didn't think it was possible to like you any more than I already did, but you proved me wrong once again. Excellent video, great questions. Love your enthusiasm and quest for knowledge about everything voice related, no matter the genre.
Glad to see that you enjoyed being amongst us metal/punk folks! Welcome! Most of us aren't as scary as we (sometimes) look. If you want to really go into the belly of the beast as far as extreme vocals,there's a festival in Czech called "Obscene Extreme" every year. It's dedicated to mainly grindcore bands,and it looks like more fun than I can describe here. Everyone wears crazy costumes while some of the craziest music plays. You seem to be very interested in harsh vocals,and this is like a library of them. Love you and the channel,keep up the good work! Cheers.
I probably can proclaim the headliner for Wacken next year: IRON MAIDEN
They just released a new album, Wacken loves Maiden, Maiden loves Wacken, what would be better fitting?
I saw the name of this video and immediately thought the same thing as everyone else did. You guys went to Bloodstock!? Soo freaking cool! \m/ I have met 100’s of famous metal band musicians while they were on tour. My dad is the drummer in an original well known 70’s classic rock band so I always had an in with the music industry. I have been back stage many times, I have been on the stage or side stage while many bands have performed. I have been on tour busses. I have even been a roadie and helped bands set up there instruments before hand and then helped take them down after the bands set. You name it I have done it over the years in the entire rock world. Please keep the great work you do!!
As much as I love your channel I was not planning on watching this. I mean, an hr long runtime?!?! But I totally got sucked in and loved every minute!!! I sometimes forget just how new you are to the genre. I'm so glad you're enjoying it!!!
I worked concessions at Rock on the Range for three years. Metal fans are very good to work with and well-behaved. I can't think of any problems with the bands or fans. Really great people!
Great interviews! I had not heard of any of these bands before this, but will now go and check them all out! :)
I particularly enjoyed your conversations with Matthew Corry from Fellowship! Could listen to you two talk for hours :)
Gold. Elizabeth, dropping real value on the internet. Thank you for sharing your experience here.
Well done, Elizabeth. I’m not a metal fan, particularly, but I always thought that the genre deserved respect and appreciation.
This warmed my heart immensely. Thank you.
Wow. That was really enjoyable to watch. Your questions were amazing. The depth of the answers, from the band members, as well. Hopefully, in 2022 we get to see a few more of these. Thank you! NIko
So love you, because youre yourself and are open as a classical trained singer for other styles😊. Lotta love from Holland 😘
Welcome to the family. Been going to bloodstock since 2017
Having worked on several festivals in the past decade, having met and driven people of fame, I just love this video. This is my experience of people of fame as well at the backstage.
Ari, we need names and their bands! You can't leave us hanging
I would imagine that you made these singers' day to be intelligently interviewed with compelling questions. As always, well done!
So fresh seeing someone from outside the metal community doing interviews. The Questions get so much more interesting.
Hard agree.
Awesome, This is what I've been waiting for!
Glad that you want to experience being in the world of metal. Despite how brutal the song and crowds are, believe me, we treat each other with respect. Literally all metallers are like family. We are misnderstood by many. Welcome to the metal family.
brilliant interviewer.This girl has it all.I love the channel.
I hardly ever engage with anyone on youtube especially people who react to music videos....most are fake, some just say "yeah that was great" and that's it....but i started following you recently and was really impressed by how you explain the different techniques that a singer uses and you even point out parts of a song that i had completely missed. You are one of the most genuine 'reactors'(if thats what its called) on youtube and i honestly wish you all the best and look forward to more insightful reactions.
Wow. This was a fantastic Interview. So emotional and personal. No comercial interest. Only exposing each craftmanship. Focus put on the Artist. Love it. Keep this up and spread it!!
