I forgot to add that just after TH-cam sort of took off for me, the guitarist in my second band (dickhead) got a friend to ask if I'd ever reconsider reforming the band. I told him to tell dickhead I'd rather choke on my own *smelly bodily fluid* :) so I guess karma won out!
Inception is a weak movie in comparison to this... i don't know why I'm writing this, maybe that first song fucked up my mind in positive way... maybe.
+emmablackery been in bands myself. egos are the bane of it all, and i was you in some bands and the dickhead guitarist in others. like the amount of groups i was forced to sing in was way too many (i can "sing", but i don't rate myself and i was the only one put forward half the time).
+emmablackery As much as what happened sucks, it is what made you who you are. If those things had not happened you probably would not be where you are now.
I honestly feel like these aren't as bad as you think, but I've also replayed that, "LET'S GOo," at about 4 mins approximately 20 times and I'm considering going for a 21st
minsiii :3 we had a dating incident in my last bans when we invited a singer. I admit that she is really hot, but our guitarist started dating her for a while and when they broke up 2 months later did she leave again. This is unfortunate because she is a really great singer.
in the exact moment you said "suck it, Dave Grohl" a twitter notification from a magazine popped up on my phone, saying: "Dave Grohl is the nicest man in rock"
+Clover M-C Stands for Extended Play... Basically 3-4 songs. It started back in the 'ancient times' of vinyls. EPs were half the size of a normal Vinyl ie an LP... So instead of a band releasing a whole album, they could release a few of their hits or singles on one vinyl disc and get their names out there without having to put a whole album together. Hope that helps ;)
Thank you for sharing this. Very interesting to hear about your music-life and how you started out. One question I have after listening to this is why is it ok for people to cover songs on yt, but not to read from a book? Is copyright a bit crazy?
I am getting sick of people commenting on how Emma looks. I know we all have our own opinions but there is no need to be an arse about it. I see comments like "She looks weird in this video" and "That blusher is way too pink but I still love her though!!". Well if you really 'loved' her, why would you be making bad comments about her appearance? Emma is a pretty cinnamon bun and I'm glad she is getting more confident, so please just leave her alone and actually enjoy her videos, I'm sure she would appreciate that very much x
is it a bad comment, if I were to say that I kind of liked the blonde hair but I like the red hair equally as well, but I haven't been able to get on TH-cam for awhile so it was a shock? but kinda miss the blonde hair bc it looked freaking amazing? (the red looks freaking amazing, but I don't know I guess I just like blonde.)
I think she sounded a bit off-pitch and too weak for the heavy instruments, but she could have been worse. I can hear her current voice in there somewhere.
+emmablackery You probably just set your standards too high. If you compare your EP to the first albums that Paramore, Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy then its pretty garbage. If you compare it to the first albums that Green Day, blink-182, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers released then it isn't really that bad. Don't strive for perfection, just strive to do your best.
I think part of the reason that a lot of youtubers end up singing etc is because it can be pretty similar... like its all entertainment and stuff like that
***** yea i get that as well, i think my theory goes more with the likes of troye sivan, emma etc where it is obviouc that they haave been musical for a long time
Hey, idk if you're still interested in finding band members but one really good way of finding members is going to your local music store/learning center and posting an add. That way you know you're getting people with some level of experience.
Your early gigs remind me of the first time I played guitar live with a music school I was with at the time. We played Enter Sandman by Metallica and right after the solo the drummer just stopped. I had no clue who this kid was but he just stopped playing. The teacher looks back at him in shock and we all just walked backstage. Then later I played Vicarious by Tool, and both the vocalist and the drummer backed out because it was too difficult for them. So it was just guitar and bass for 7.5 minutes and half the crowd was asleep.
the mention of kerrang reminded me that a month or two ago there was a poster of Emma in the mag. no explanation as to why and it was a kinda old photo. i remember being equally pleased and confused
I've been having a good day, then it just sort of went downhill when I got home. Needless to say, I watched your videos to help cheer me up, and they did. I'm so excited about your new EP. I loved all your songs and I'm just extremely excited now. Thank you Emma, and keep doing what you're doing!
Oh my god, if anyone ever got videos of me in teen bands and put them on youtube I would have to change my name. Brave girl, love it, it wasn't too horrible, you can sing even back then :)
I used to play when I was like ten. I'm fifteen now and I've started reteaching myself as of three days ago haha. I've got about 10 chords memorized now. Just look stuff up on google.
you sound fine in all the old videos... I'm not sure what you are talking about... even in the one you said you were nervous and horrible sounded fine to me...
8 ปีที่แล้ว +6
some times the notes are not well placed. When she got nervous she gets out of tune multiple times, and the drummer UGH
Ramsés Amadeus But to an untrained ear it sorta sounds fine...
8 ปีที่แล้ว +4
it does sound fine, if i or she wants to be harsh with herself, we would find all this horrible imperfections and skills that needs to improve, but you're right, it sounds fine and very enjoyable to me too
Emma, quite often I set your songs to just play while I'm at work. I love your music, and if you're saying the next songs are going to be even better then I can't wait
I'm so excited about your new album, your music is awesome! And I think past Emma was already really lovely, she would be proud if she saw what you have accomplished :) Greetings and love from Germany!
Full LPs (albums) take a lot more effort and time. Your average album is between 8 and 14 songs long. An EP is usually 3 to 5 songs. Bands and musicians that are growing, but not quite past their local scene are more likely to release an EP

that is brilliant hahaha

Your comments sound more and more like quotes from a Tarantino movie... "Reform the band? REFORM the band? I would rather choke..."
SHOUTOUT TO THE EX BAND MEMBERS THAT SCREWED ME OVER AND ARE EATIN OUR DUST!! :P
Ayyeeeeeee
drag them mom
This is exactly why the saying 'everything happens for a reason' is a thing...
+emmablackery they probably regretting stopping a band with you Emma :))
+emmablackery As much as what happened sucks, it is what made you who you are. If those things had not happened you probably would not be where you are now.
The "LET'S GO!" is what got me XD
Same XD
+DinosaurLizzie It was actually pretty good up until then imo
+faissialoo It really wasn't xD
1corz
Eh, I liked it

Oh my god I was looking for this comment
Same lol
i feel you lmao
"SUCK IT DAVE GROHL" lololol
I literally read this as she said it 😂
My dad walked in when she said that and said "Who's insulting the Lord?!?"
+Becca Hinds your dads a legend!
+Simply Phoebs I told him that and he said "I think your mistaking me for Dave grohl *dramatic hair flip*" 😂
Becca Hinds lol
GUYS I found Emma's old bands. Theyre these guys called panic at the disco and another one called fall out boy
OMG YESS
Those bands are bae, ok
Panic! At The Disco* had to sorryyy
+Bevi P 😂
+Krafty TheFox It can never die...because it's not a band- it's an idea
I honestly feel like these aren't as bad as you think, but I've also replayed that, "LET'S GOo," at about 4 mins approximately 20 times and I'm considering going for a 21st
"And I was like, 'PARAMORE???!???'" *sniffs really loudly*
That's me in a nutshell
Yeah, me too. PHANDOM?

Oh my god same
SAME
YES SAME
Same af
YESS I was listening to emergency before this!
band members should never date each other. it kills the band. trust me, i know.
Well dating in bands did create Rumors by Fleetwood Mac atleast.
minsiii :3 we had a dating incident in my last bans when we invited a singer. I admit that she is really hot, but our guitarist started dating her for a while and when they broke up 2 months later did she leave again. This is unfortunate because she is a really great singer.
Isak kerman Cough cough Josh and Hayley
cough cough ryan and brendon
Isak kerman cough cough Frerard
the original shit was nice. the "let's go" was fucking horrible also the writing was fucking horrible.
the singing was slightly out of tune in some sections
that stocking tho..
Am I the only one thinking Emma looked like Haley Williams
Yes!!!!!!
YES
YES
Yes
SAME
in the exact moment you said "suck it, Dave Grohl" a twitter notification from a magazine popped up on my phone, saying: "Dave Grohl is the nicest man in rock"
danger days emma

Does it strangely satisfy anyone else that this video is exactly 10 minutes long? x

+Rebekah Irwin now it bothers me... ;-;
+Rebekah Irwin mines 10:00 ... Ye

My fiance and I have chosen your song, "Next To You" for our first dance song for our wedding next spring :)
Congratulations on getting married!
Olivia P I know I’m late but congratulations
She reminds me of Max and Chloe together from Life is Strange.
Which makes me sad again.
oh my god yes and no but yes XD
yES
YEEESSSSSS
nO *sobs*
Yeah, I just finished watching someone play it... I cri evrtiem.
Not 2 shabby 1st song. Until the lets go. Fuck. Sounds like a CitV cartoon theme song.
+RedstrokeProductions Second song uh oh embarrasso
+RedstrokeProductions third song looks like like you were drunk doing karaoke at a wedding
+RedstrokeProductions i died at that part ahahh
you lowkey look like hayley williams 😊
First one sounded like some sort of rock Dora the explorer, LETS GO!
What does e.p. stand for?
Extended Play :)
emmablackery Thank you Emma :)
+emmablackery That makes SO much sense :D
extended play
+Clover M-C Stands for Extended Play...
Basically 3-4 songs. It started back in the 'ancient times' of vinyls. EPs were half the size of a normal Vinyl ie an LP... So instead of a band releasing a whole album, they could release a few of their hits or singles on one vinyl disc and get their names out there without having to put a whole album together.
Hope that helps ;)
That hair colour makes your eyes stand out. They are so nice!
"You can just read Kerrang and see what I'm up to." ooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH
lifegoal right here!
Thank you for sharing this. Very interesting to hear about your music-life and how you started out.
One question I have after listening to this is why is it ok for people to cover songs on yt, but not to read from a book? Is copyright a bit crazy?
Yes it is! Copyright is stupid.
emmablackery much wow
emmablackery I know you won't reply but I love ur vids and u inspire me...
Tal Dishno777 She won't reply because you're 1 year late xD
Never date in bands. It always ends badly.
I honestly love to see where you're coming from because it gives me hope that I'll get better !
Uh.. I kinda liked the music..
i love your name burger bitch :D
BurgerBitch6000000 So did I!!
Thanks! haha

+Daksha Baker I only said that because I remember her releasing the super music old videos
+iiAlmondo same 😂 I remember these too
+Jenniferjmarvin X lol u guys are cool amazing awesome ppl then
SAME THO
I'm 23 and paramore still gives me all the feels
Maybe 2010 you were a little off but the thing is you sung your heart out and that's something.
SCENE EMMA OH MY GOD YOU WERE SO SMOL
I am getting sick of people commenting on how Emma looks. I know we all have our own opinions but there is no need to be an arse about it.

(the red looks freaking amazing, but I don't know I guess I just like blonde.)
+rainbowlolly29 "pretty cinnamon bun" is an amazing compliment and i am going to steal it you cant stop me piracy is cool
Emma is very fit doe
CINNAMON BUN 👏👏💗you get all of the props for excellent imagery, I agree lol
Considering I think your songs are amazing already, this new EP is going to be out of this world! I'M EXCITED! :D
+Emily Marshall haha yeah im expecting aliens now! jokes aside it sounds like its going to be epic!
+Emily Marshall EEEEEEE!!
The length of this video is very satisfying to me, thank you Emma
exactly a year later than this was uploaded, emma was on her first headline tour aw
Am I the only one that actually kind of liked her singing in the recordings?
Nope, I liked it tbh
No I loved it.
Savannah Wooldridge I did too
I think she sounded a bit off-pitch and too weak for the heavy instruments, but she could have been worse. I can hear her current voice in there somewhere.
your first band sounded like they could be a good punk band
+Sven Kobus HAHAHAHA, no...
you could be a good punk vocalist
+emmablackery You probably just set your standards too high. If you compare your EP to the first albums that Paramore, Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy then its pretty garbage. If you compare it to the first albums that Green Day, blink-182, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers released then it isn't really that bad. Don't strive for perfection, just strive to do your best.
you should just compare it to st anger and than it is a master piece
I discovered Emma through her Google song
And I quite liked it ;p
Same here, my sister showed it to me and I eventually found my way back to her channel and now I'm here forever haha
+Mud Sh-sh-shark I'm still waiting for her to repeat Merry Christmas Jack Howard this year xD
same!
+Mud Sh-sh-shark same
"LESGO!" i fukn died
She kept saying it was so bad, but I didn't think it was.
your singing sounds like it's mostly in tune (now), it just lacks projection.
"You can read Kerrang and see what I'm up to."
I love her style.
From the title of the video I thought you were going to listen to bands you liked when you were a teenager but make you cringe now.
I'm so glad that the derpy "catch'ya later" outro is back :D
It's wonderful.
Not gonna lie I died at "Let's Go!"
Yess!! Placebo has been one of my favorites for ages. I get so happy when others enjoy them as much as myself☺️💕🙌
I think part of the reason that a lot of youtubers end up singing etc is because it can be pretty similar... like its all entertainment and stuff like that
+Kyle Brown It's probably more of the fact that youtubers usually are artistic.
Definitely Not Dingse! yeah i see what you mean
***** yea i get that as well, i think my theory goes more with the likes of troye sivan, emma etc where it is obviouc that they haave been musical for a long time
3:10 ...It's not horrible.
You're much too hard on yourself.
I FOUND THE BAND
but i respect emma so im not going to say it
Then I doubt you actually know it
The Mad Ginger fine ill tell you, its PST (pretty strange things)
damn, that name is longer than your comment
Dun DUN *DUNNNNNNNNNN*
....josh
Josh Dun
+Esme Rowley gee

+Twenty Øne Fall Øut Discø Bøys LOVE YUR NAME

Whats the name of the website that you find new band members on???
+XxZetara SilencexX can't remember now! joinmyband i think
+emmablackery thank you so much!
??????
Hey, idk if you're still interested in finding band members but one really good way of finding members is going to your local music store/learning center and posting an add. That way you know you're getting people with some level of experience.
Your singing wasn't that horrible
You've improved a lot since those old bands. can't wait for your new EP.
The fact that the video clarifies so much shit in "Sucks to be you" has only hit me now... 4 years after the song was releaseed
LET'S GO!
PARAMORE IS LOVE, PARAMORE IS LIFE
Yes!!
+MCR Guitar Hello, my friend.
Hi! Aren't I following you on G+ :D
+MCR Guitar Yeah. We had a conversation about bands on a MDE video, I beleive.
Beth Does Stuff oh yea, I remember now :) we seem to watch the same yt vids lol
Besides for the LETS GO Part.... I think its good....
I take it back for the live 1s.... I take it back with.... whatever Your doing.... with your hands.... and hair XD Im sorry XD I feel thats crappy
Honestly, the "Let's go" part is what kills me.
Your early gigs remind me of the first time I played guitar live with a music school I was with at the time. We played Enter Sandman by Metallica and right after the solo the drummer just stopped. I had no clue who this kid was but he just stopped playing. The teacher looks back at him in shock and we all just walked backstage. Then later I played Vicarious by Tool, and both the vocalist and the drummer backed out because it was too difficult for them. So it was just guitar and bass for 7.5 minutes and half the crowd was asleep.
the mention of kerrang reminded me that a month or two ago there was a poster of Emma in the mag. no explanation as to why and it was a kinda old photo. i remember being equally pleased and confused
PARAMORE AVRIL YAS
+Bob DaBuilda aw ahhaa

I've been having a good day, then it just sort of went downhill when I got home. Needless to say, I watched your videos to help cheer me up, and they did. I'm so excited about your new EP. I loved all your songs and I'm just extremely excited now. Thank you Emma, and keep doing what you're doing!
"LETS GO!!"
Oh my god, if anyone ever got videos of me in teen bands and put them on youtube I would have to change my name. Brave girl, love it, it wasn't too horrible, you can sing even back then :)
when the song from your first band started playing the screen that said "An error has occurred. Please try again later." popped up XD
Emma, every time I see you genuinely smile, I, myself can't help but smile!!! Can't wait to hear your EP...
SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU EMMA
I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU!
hahahaha good luck for the future songss
I like some of your songs from your old youtube channel and they are good hope your music gets to the big times
+ali hamza thanks ali!
Your voice has improved so much and when I mean that I meant that Emma!hahaha!
+Helen Millard THANK YOU!! i mean if it hadn't i'd be very upset haha
+emmablackery hahaha
+emmablackery Just kind of hoping my band goes somewhere aha
Everytime Emma winks a cats life is saved, so beautiful.
I'm so so so so so excited for your new stuff!!! You're an amazing singer and a real inspiration for me :D
So cool to hear that you're making progress on your music, can't wait to see how it all turns out, I'm sure it will be awesome.
Do you and Luke have hair dye parties ??
I love your hair so much please keep it also I love you music it's amazing
how does one get started in this, "singing" thing, as you call it.
I forgot the Honey Mist Auburn hair color phase! It's awesome!
Im super excited as well! I'm so happy you're going for your dreams, Emma :D
how did you learn guitar? like how would you start? I really want to know
I would honestly just get lessons and get a guitar, or just start by learning chords
Just look up song tutorials of what you want to learn
+drzoom11 what if you wanted to do slayer Raining blood...but have never played guitar before
+Josef N but...dat shits hard
I used to play when I was like ten. I'm fifteen now and I've started reteaching myself as of three days ago haha. I've got about 10 chords memorized now. Just look stuff up on google.
you sound fine in all the old videos... I'm not sure what you are talking about... even in the one you said you were nervous and horrible sounded fine to me...
some times the notes are not well placed. When she got nervous she gets out of tune multiple times, and the drummer UGH
Ramsés Amadeus But to an untrained ear it sorta sounds fine...
it does sound fine, if i or she wants to be harsh with herself, we would find all this horrible imperfections and skills that needs to improve, but you're right, it sounds fine and very enjoyable to me too
Ramsés Amadeus I'm just complementing her voice, I'm not taking away her right to self criticize...
It definitely was way better than I could imagine. But I could tell her notes were off.
Her hair back then was heavily influenced by Hayley Williams! XD
Emma, quite often I set your songs to just play while I'm at work. I love your music, and if you're saying the next songs are going to be even better then I can't wait
so immensely proud of you, emma!! good things are bound to come your way (':
The music sounds a lot like Fall Out Boy's earlier stuff
'I was dating the bassist then the guitarist had a crush on me and got really mad' Reminds me of some 5sos fan fiction out there 😂😂🎶
What is that website called?
A Huge Emo Nerd if it's the one I think it is, it WAS called "Radio Six", but it was several years ago so I don't know anymore
Daniel it is youtube
4:31 did the drummer borrow Lars' snare??
I'm so excited about your new album, your music is awesome! And I think past Emma was already really lovely, she would be proud if she saw what you have accomplished :)
Greetings and love from Germany!
OH MY GOD IS THAT CLIP TAKEN IN THE VICTORIA SHOPPING CENTRE HAHA
Why don't you make full albums instead of EPs?
Full LPs (albums) take a lot more effort and time. Your average album is between 8 and 14 songs long. An EP is usually 3 to 5 songs. Bands and musicians that are growing, but not quite past their local scene are more likely to release an EP
AMC Band Official ok
"LET'S GO"
what advice would you give to a starting song writer?
I'm so jealous of emmas hair, every generation in the evolution of her hair I want on my head
