The label must've seen Linkin Park's success (particularly with Mike Shinoda) and wanted every band to be like that
Well also, Linkin Park fucking knew what they were doing and what they were going for when they did that. And every studio saw and wanted to copy it without understanding why it worked with Linkin Park.
It was the nu metal years so djs and rappers were in 😄 Back when record labels were looking for the next carbon copy of what was popular
Yes, that's what they wanted! And when the band came back and Wind-Up told them they wanted only one song with a rapper they were like "fine, but we want someone amazing doing it". Evanescence and Linkin Park actually were recording their albums (Fallen and Meteora) in the same studio and they briefly talked about it. LP (Mike) turned down the request to do that part for the song obviously so the record label sent the demo of Bring Me To Life to a lot of other great singers from the new metal scene like, Jacoby Shaddix , Sonny Sandoval and more, but they all never responded to that either I guess. So they picked someone that had a deal with Wind-Up and did it. Those were weird times.
Linkin Park was and still is garbage.
they came out just as Nu Metal was dying out.
Funny thing about this is that the label actually wanted Linkin Park to kick Mike out of the band, and Chester refused.
Wow first time I’ve seen her in an interview. She seems chill af.
I came here to comment the exact same thing...
Houston is based.
I took years of therapy.
I've seen her in a few interviews. She is always chill like this. Also watched her in a livestream with Lzzy Hale, both are chill asf.
@@TheRockhound119 that’s so awesome
I never really thought of that part of Bring Me To Life as "rap", I guess the vocals and rock side balanced it, and it wasn't trying to hip-hoppify the track.
Also, Amy looks phenomenal - I want some of what she's having, cos the past couple decades haven't been nearly as good to me! 😅
actual rap mightve been cool... that was shitty 2000s limp bizkit trash rap
Same
have you tried amica cream
Might want to win a lot of money then. She probably only works when she wants to these days. No stress. All the time to eat right and look after herself. Benefits of not having to work a full time job for the last twenty years.
@@jimbobjunior. Yep, money is a great stress reliever if you're not worried about it, or so I hear tell!
Amy is absolutely gorgeous. She has one of the most recognizable voices in rock and I wish that Evinesence follow up records were as successful as the first. They kind of strayed away from metal and it cost them. I will forever be a fan regardless.
Certainly is one beautiful woman
Besides Lita Ford, she was the next best for sure..
Lmao, there's always one "Amy is absolutely gorgeous" guy in the comments. Try something original dude
Lmao, there's always that "white knight attacking compliments" guy in the comments. Stop being such a tool.
@@BatistaInvests Amy is an absolute carnival of looks and her mind and voice is as elegant as a flower on the face of the moon.
How’s that?
I love how open she is about what really happens to artists. Super cool interview
Because she is really down to earth
Amy Lee was always up front and didn't give af.
Major labels
I was here when this had 666 likes
I think this vid is recycled tho. Waaay older than 2 weeks
I agree that the rap/breakdown worked for Bring me to life, but it was good that they were given freedom with the rest of the album.
I haven't listened to it in years I should check it out to see if I still enjoy it.
At this age I would enjoy it a lot more without the rapper. Her vocals totally hold up on her own and the track still feels full without him.
rap is terrible in everything. it ruins everything. people need to stop virtue signaling that rap is good just because black people invented it
I always thought the rap was weird and seemed totally out of place, like I thought they had a random rapper in the group and had to invent a place in the song for him to have a place to rap. It was so nonsensical.
@@cagneybillingsley2165 So you think millions of people are pretending to like rap just because black people made it?
@@cagneybillingsley2165 black people also created rock,raegae,blues, jazz and country 🤷🏾♀️ all of them are good lol
Amy has such damn good energy. Its hard to watch when favorite musicians seem burnt out but she was so love-able and unfazed. Great interview.
I’m glad Amy seems so relaxed. If you get a chance, check out her rendition of Bring Me To Life with the Japanese band Waggaki Band… just amazing.
would love to see an album collaborating with Wagakki band.
Just seen it by accident. I am awed like.. my heart was dancing with their vocals such beauty, unexplainable!
Wait. She collaborated with Wagakki Band?? Shamisen and all?
GIB ME LINK!

@@marioprawirosudiro7301 look it up
Had a crush on this woman since I first saw the video for "Call me When you're Sober" in 2006 and it's still going lol
Your not wrong my dude. I feel the same way.
I got inloved with Evanescence and Amy Lee voice, more than I got from her phisical appearence (she's actually beautiful but now she's olf and out of shape, I prefer other rock/metal girls just like Simone Simmons or Alissa White Gluz).
@@heyitsthatguy4517 her and Lzzy Hale are my celebrity crushes. Both are incredible in their own way. And together? It's magic.
I do too even before I could remember what her name was.
You ain't fuckin' lying.
I remember when the music video for “bring me to life” was on TV, I was 12 at the time and I had the biggest crush on Amy. I was at the age where in my childish mind I was determined to marry this woman and had the biggest crush on her. I think she might’ve been my first celebrity crush ever. She still looks fantastic and sings with the same strength and conviction she’s always had
I always thought she sounded better than she looked, especially now after about 20 years.
@@bobby_hill8357 I don't know. You look at Amy then and even now. If she wants to look good she does. Most times she wasn't trying to be sexy. Even thou she was always sexy. She wanted it to be about the music not a pretty girl so to speak. But it was about a pretty girl with a amazing voice. Her look help sell the band don't kid yourself. Had she not been pretty EV probably never even gets signed. They looked at her and said, "we can sell that look."
I often think she's had the right mix of talent, confidence and sexy without relying too much on the latter to make an impression.
@@larrylindgren9484 Different strokes for different folks man, you don't need to get defensive. I don't agree with your assessment of her appearance, and that's fine. You can have your perspective.
@@bobby_hill8357 she's freaking gorgeous wdym
I love how into the interview she gets. It's really nice to see artists get excited to tell their stories and to learn more about them
Almost 20 years later and she’s still gorgeous
She is such a beautiful person. Seems so down to earth too! She could probably be a huge pop star, but she does things she wants to do!
She's basically a popstar tho, even my mom likes Evanescence
Having a rapper on that particular song would not work anyways.
Doesn't do what she wants. Does what they tell ya
She does what the record executives tell her to do.
@Nang Lei there’re plenty of rappers that are pop stars. Pitbull, Drake, the cowboy road song guy
Damn, Amy Lee is aging like fine wine. Metal girls are some of the most beautiful girls out there.
Weeellll.... let's not take it that far 😆 at least Amy is attractive
Well this is recycled footage from a 2016 video as stated in the description. She gained some weight after that, I barely recognized her chubby form. Probably she let herself go a bit with the son she had. It was quite a stunning difference. Now in newer videos she seems to be in a better shape.
*whites girls
@@bitblueduck Just a word of advice. If you ever get a woman pregnant, never say she looks like she let herself go, unless you want to die young.
@@chriswaters2327 she got fat years after the birth not during. And I don't say that's wrong, she wastn't morbidly obese and if she concentrated on family instead of looking like a model, it's good for her.
Damn, she was beautiful 20 years ago and she's still very beautiful now. I grew up on her music. They don't make it like that anymore nowadays...
I grew up with her music too back in 2003. Being young is just better I dont believe it was actually "better" back then. I remember my older brother's friends not liking anything I liked and thinking they sucked and now my nieces and nephews like stuff and im like 🙄 but I bet in 20 years they'll look back on their crap with the same nostalgia as us
Came to Evanescence for "bring me to life", stayed for "my immortal" and "hello". Love Amy Lee's vocals more than anything else about the band
Both sides won. The record company got their way but the band only had to do it for one song. It takes a lot of courage to call Hollywood’s bluff but at the same time, Bring Me to Life wouldn’t be the same without the iconic “WAKE ME UP!” and the somewhat rapped (not really tho) bridge. Luckily the record company wasn’t egotistical enough to pass up on Evanescence’s talent.
Hollywood?
@@jpaxonreyes An extension of Hollywood. That song was already set to be part of the a superhero movie before they recorded it. Nobody remembers the movie, but the song is still going strong.
No, it would have been better. That song didn't explode because of some asshole yelling, "Wake Me Up!" It sold because the composition was dynamic and her voice was unbelievably good, plus the message resonated. I think you need to wake up...
@@wordragon Correct. I heard the demo/pre-release before the song came out, then when the single came out, I was all "WTF is this shit!?"
@@Patrick-857 99% sure I've heard the song in a movie called Daredevil. Blind guy using supersonic waves to acquire the perception of vision.
Amy was such a big deal to me as a preteen/teen! It makes me so happy just to see her speaking candidly
My crush for this woman started when I was 15.
15 years later, still going strong ❤️
Me too 😅
On one hand I understand the frustration. But on the other, that song has become so big and iconic Evanescence became a major rock band. And since then, they've had way more creative freedom. Plus a large group of fans behind them as well supporting them.
Look at the comments here and you'll see what I mean.
For that song specifically, I think it was the best choice. Notice, I didn't say "right", I said "best".
I love her! So beautiful, talented and her voice is to die for. 💛
I always loved her music! She seems so down to earth and easy to talk to.
Which song had the rapper?
Amy Lee is a legend, I looked up to her so much when I was younger I even got my eyebrow pierced 😅 at this point I think she’s an underrated vocalist since I never hear praise sent her way anymore but she still deserves it. When I practice my own vocals at a more advanced level I love to put on evanescence.
I honestly don't think the song "Bring me to life" would of been nearly as popular if it weren't for the rapping portion.
I mean her voice is absolutely beautiful, but its the rapping portion that gave the song its unique identity that made it stand out. Definitely wouldn't of been as iconic without it.
wouldn't *have*
Missed opportunity. Early 2000s was a SUPER divide amongst the rap and rock genres thanks to late 90s rap metal, that only a few bands were cool with it.
The "male" part I don't care much for, but Evanesence songs feel so much longer that a style switch or even letting the band shine for a few would have been refreshing.
They did a version of the song "Bring Me to Life" on the 2020 "Sing Through This" album with a backing orchestra which was great, but definitely would not have gotten them the same radio play and popularity as the original with the rapper track did.
How do I know this for sure?
Because it was actually a 2017 album called Synthesis, but you had no idea if either of those things is true or if I made the whole thing up. :)
That wasn't rap though. More singing than rap.
The irony of it is, I never once believed it was rapping, because it sounds nothing like someone rapping. It just sounds like a metal vocalist singing those "rapping" bits.
Oddly enough, that was the song that got me into Evanescence. Being a huge LP fan (still am to this day) the rap version was the bridge for me. It added a contrast of styles that the song desperately needed.
Oh my God I'm old. I saw "LP" fan and I thought you meant you liked to listen to albums. Linkin' Park. Yes, of course. I'll get my coat.
@@al201103 If it wasn’t for you, I never would have got “LP” either.
Oddly enough their biggest song that got most of their fans into the band got you into the band? Shocker lol
@@lifeunderthestarstv Just goes to show how a popular version of a song works.
Imagine if the boring "real" version had played on MTV/Fuse or on Daredevil instead of this one, would it have nearly as much success? Doubt it. That's where the "oddly enough" comes in.
I don't think it was "needed".
The song would've been successful without it. A lot of evanescence songs that kept the style of the band are incredibly successful.
I like rap and I like metal, and pulling off a mix between the two is something few could achieve. Evanescence is probably one of the bands that least needed rap in a song.
They were unfortunately a victim of the times back then.
Because even now random rap one liners in non rap songs are considered one of the cringiest things that 2000s rap left us.
He actually tied the song together.
Beautiful lady and so chilled and down to earth. She's so grounded and open, what a great interview.
I was thinking about her lately, so weird that this popped up in my feed as ironically I am a hip hop fan. She has an incredible voice from what I remember.
Hardly call him a rapper more hype man lol
SaaVVee MeEEeE
The dude from 12 stones wasn't the rapper...
They handled it so much better than the usual pop song that includes one self-contained rap verse at the end of a song and that's it.
She is still so damn gorgeous, and her voice is so amazing, ugh, she a dime no cap!!!....
What are you desperate? She looks bat shit female crazy and she says ' like' every other word like a teen and she's 40 lol
So are we just gonna ignore how beautiful Amy Lee is? I can’t believe she’s almost 40 here cause she looks so young
Ugh, I love her so much. Huge inspiration to my music.
Amy é incrível 💙
She seems very down to earth and easy to talk to.
Bring Me To Life may be my favorite Evanescence song. Gorgeous yet strong female vocals, great music and yeah, the rapping worked out, I'd say.
czcams.com/video/yMlS8b6Jnsc/video.html
Nah
I think the mix of both voices is what makes it one of the top songs of Evanescence. I would've liked Ben (or someone in the band) to provide small vocals on their songs, obviously Amy would've been the main vocalist, always
Regardless of whatever success the song went on to have for the band, the thought of a record label stepping in and taking that much control of an artists work makes my skin crawl.
Now they aren’t with that label and the label doesn’t exist anymore
True story
bruh this happens all the time
Yeah. It worked out fine this time, but it was still a risk she was pressured into.
Legit feels like a worker and a boss of a company.
Thats a backup hype singer not a rapper. He has great backup vocals.
Either way it's why I couldn't stand the song 😂 imho it totally ruined it... ohhhh record labels...
He's garbage either way.
I think they called him a rapper, since he provided a rapped verse in the song.
@@zacharyengle4256 that is true. I will give you that.
I always thought it was the guitar player lol.
One of the best voices you’ll ever hear. As much as I love hearing Amy’s voice, I think adding the male voice to BMTL was a good call at the time. Hard to believe it would have been as big of a hit without it. (I generally hate rap BTW).
So cool to learn this "behind-the-scenes" details.
Cool to hear from her
Love Amy, I’m so glad she’s persevered.
She has a voice that hits the soul! A voice that helps emphasize reality in a surreal way! Beautiful!
Gunna be seeing her and many others this September. Can’t wait!
Amy is so friggin cool. To see a star be down to earth in interviews is enjoyable to watch.
She looks bat shit female crazy and she says ' like' every other word like a teen and she's 40 lol
Idk bro, I called her when I was sober finally and she still hung up on me...
Different strokes for different folks. I mean she is pretty amazing for rock & how she's some of the few females but u can tell how she strictly sticks to rock. If I knew her, I'd want to annoy her. Like I'd just walk into her mansion blasting there's some hoes in this house. But I guess I'll settle for annoying his gpa. Long dramatic sigh ☹😞. Ok that never happened. Plus him reacting kind of wears off anyways. Bc his gson loves to do all the annoying instead
The final product of Bring Me To Life is absolutely fantastic so although I'm not at all a fan of rap, this worked out in absolutely the best way in my opinion. It's an epic song. I've loved it ever since the very first time I heard it.
That was absolutely not rap. I listen to both genres and his part was not rap at all.
@@guitarboyjeff take it up with them lol that's what they called it 🤷😅
@@guitarboyjeff yeah, that was my thought and why I watched the video. Its really weird wording there. It was Paul McCoy from 12 Stones. A Christian Alternative rock band
The male "rapper" is the part I like the least about that song. I've always wished there were a version of it out there somewhere without him.
@@seanworle 😅 I actually like it. It adds something good to it although like someone else said- it doesn't sound like rap anyway.
Saw Evanescence live a couple years back, amazing show!
Funnily enough Hendrix was one of the greatest performers in history and nearly never opened his eyes or looked at the audience, he was in the music and that's what we really want from an audience member
He was male. Different rules apply. (sigh)
@@untroubledwaters2137 facts
Nah. Maybe That’s what YOU want, probably not though. Producer was obviously right, that song was mega successful. Go watch a band for a couple of hours who won’t even look or interact with you. Especially one that’s trying to break through. You won’t be as engaged as you could be.
Going to see Evanescence and Korn in August. Already got my ticket!
What a shitty lineup. Korn yes! No other band was available to open?
Shes gorgeous still. Damn.
This is from a few years ago actually but yeah, she still looking beautiful.
wow times fly so fast! i first watched their MV I was 11-12 then.. It's been 20yrs wth hahaha. Never knew Amy Lee is this chill lol.
She looks so good. I clicked on here to see if the thumbnail was from an old clip, she looks so good!
I absolutely loved 12 Stones back in the days. Sadly they couldn’t keep up with bands like Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park etc
Wow, who else has even heard of 12 Stones?!
@@joelmacdonald6994 me !!! I have their 2002 self titled and Potters Field albums. They went on to release another 5 but I’ve never heard them
Less to do with them keeping up with anyone and more to do with them being on Wind Up records who’s success record with bands at the time was spotty at best. I still think Creed’s second album was their only huge success from that era. All that being said, yes 12 stones is awesome 🤘🏽
Their song broken was one of those songs back in the day that I had on repeat…I was ecstatic to then hear them on bring me to life… and then…..never to be heard from again lol
They’re still going on just underrated for now
Been a big fan of Evanescence since '01, first concert I went to was evanescence in '08 and again at the end if '21.
Her smile is so beautiful...I'm such a fan boy. Amy Lee will forever be my crush.
I always appreciated Amy’s voice cutting through the bs of the late 90s and early 2000s. This makes a lot of sense hearing what the label made them do.
The radio had 3 choices in 2000, pop, country or rap-metal…
Thank God for Napster
I call them the melodramaughties and in my view Evanescence fit perfectly into that trend. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t have a unique place in there or that they were just one of a dozen. I just don’t think they were as refreshing or different as all that.
Paul McCoy isn't a rapper but he did a great job. I was actually a 12 Stones fan before I heard Evanecense so it was cool to see him be in the spotlight.
Is that like twelve monkeys
I think it's highly dis-respectful to Paul and 12 stones since they probably wrote the song with her. I've never seen anyone as disrespectful as this bitch dude. Come on.. No one ever heard of her until bring me to life it's pathetic. This is why the music industry is fail fail fail!
@@behindthen0thing 12 Stones, it's a band, for us stuck in the 2000's, it's a great band
@@behindthen0thing 12 Stones, they're a Christian rock band with a nu metal/post-grunge/alt-metal sound. They were moderately successful in the early 2000s
Same! Saw them live when they opened for creed during the weathered tour, bought all their albums before I knew who evanescence was.
The dude who got amy to break out of her shell. Lucky, clever guy.
I also love that the secret to it was a "just screw it" attitude, lol.
She's so down to earth and sweet.
Our life time crush.
Fun fact: Mike Shinoda said in one interview how Amy wanted him to do the rap thing. He declined saying something like "i wont do it. Its not right for you to do something just because that thing is popular. You should stick with your style." (Yes, he clearly was referring to linkin parks success at that time). They did it anyway, this time inviting Paul Maccoy. Paul is a nice guy actually, if you guys dont know hes the lead vocals in a band named 12 stones in post-grunge style i think.
My sister was a huge fan of 12 stones back in the day. Decent rock band for sure.
That would've been dope if mike shinoda did that
And he sung.... he didnt rap..... hes never rapped.... literally ever
Wrong. The *record company* wanted Shinoda, Amy never asked him or wanted him.
I didn't know he was from 12 stones wow. I listen to that band haha. I wish Mike from Linkin Park was featured in Bring Me To Life
Shes is the most beautiful and down to earth celebrities in the world
Putting all the other "role models" to shame
I still remember to this very day! I had a dream about that male vocalist and the Evanescence band regarding this song, except they kept following me and I was like at the top of the tower hiding HAHAH still so bizarre to this day thinking about it
I can't imagine that song without the "rap" in it now. A beautiful song. Still brings tears to my eyes sometimes.
They play the song without it since John Lecompt left
Watch the Rock in Rio live version. It's better without the rap, although I understand your preference if it is nostalgia preference
What rap
@@billybrooks1 listen to the song. If you are being a troll, just stop.
@@chriscox3709 I just heard it. No rap. There is a guy but he's not rapping
Amy is so awesome!! Extremely talented.
Lol. the European bands like Nightwish do it waaay better
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 I don't know if it's better, because you're treaspassing on the territory of subjectivity. But definitely a bit different, and as well brilliant.
I love Nightwish.
I haven't yet been to any of their concerts, but I've been to Evanessence, here in London.
@@Domzdream Lol. No. Definitely better.
European metal is just better and harder than American metal.
Bands like Gojira, Cradle of filth, Dimmu borgir, Rammstein and all the rest just wreck American music in general.
Lol. You're actually in the UK. Where Cradle of filth toured multiple times.
A band far better than Evanescence.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418
Yea, I get you like them, but don't you see you're in the camp of (well superman is better than batman....).
It's all subjective. I know YOU prefer European metal, but ultimately, what might be tter FOR YOU will be lesser FOR ANOTHER person.
In the end, as long as YOU enjoy whatever YOU enjoy, that's what's important.
Personally, I do prefer American metal bands, like Pantera, or Slayer, SLipknot...
but I don't think they're necessarily better...Just different.
It's all subjective.
@@Domzdream Lol.
Superman may predate Batman but the Bat is definitely better and more interesting than Superman. Heck even Wonder woman is better than Superman.
There have been rock and rap collaborations before so when the song came out it just seemed natural and it was awesome, like it was meant to be that way the whole time.
I thought the song was fine. But honestly when it came out, I thought it sounded tired and overused by that point .
Nah, the “rap” part is the worst part of the song. And I like rap, so it’s not like I’m hating on the concept, I’ve been an LP fan since One Step Closer, but it just doesn’t work for Evanescence’s vibe.
@@tactikiller I never even saw it as rap to be honest, I never liked that part of the song either. But I don’t think rhyming words together at a slightly faster pace is “rap”.
@@tactikiller - It worked well enough for sales, many people loved it.
LOVE❤YOU!! AMY LEE💋💋💋
She just makes me smile the more she talks
Damn I relate to this SO much. I used to be in a local band. We had just got started, but because I believe we had very strong song writing (me and our guitarist), we scored some live radio in-studio spots, local tv chanel accoustic performances, and local festival appearances, right away... and had enough material to begin assembling our own album.
I felt exactly like she did... like an imposter up on the stage. I kept thinking to myself at the time 'I'm in my later 30's... I'm no 'rock star''. When I was singing, I was pretty much fine, but when the band expected me to start being the mouthpiece and fill in the spaces leading into the next songs, or other things like that... I wouldn't do it. I felt like the audience would hear my non-singing voice and recognize that I was just some old dude trying to play the role of 'front man'.
I ended up leaving the band, and I regret it every day. What could have been... we had some pretty solid tunes.
Dude …. I’m a musician too. Always just fake it till you make it. We think the average listener hears music the way we do as musicians so we get self conscious. They don’t…..
Jesus that became depressing real quick
It's never too late to do what you love
As a musician that also used to be in a local band that reached the level of playing live shows. Every show I played i always felt awkward. Not because of stage fright - I studied music in my younger years and my school used to throw me into these battle of the bands events between schools in the same region, So playing to crowds of 100+ is normal for me.
But i too felt like an imposter. Even though I was playing live shows, I still doubted my skills as a musician throughout and there was really no need for me to harbor such doubt. Because after I left school, I ended up playing as part of a Church worship band for almost 8-10 years. I was there a long time, and if theres one thing that ive learnt throughout my journey is that those people know how to *JAM* - I played my fair share of guitar for my church youth group and even graduated to playing Sunday services -- Only then was i really really super anxious because youre not just performing to people of the same age anymore that youre familiar with, but for their parents, Aunties, Uncles and grand parents too!
Were there always musicians that were better than me?? Of course! I wasnt particularly a very technical player, nor could i do lightning fast runs up and down the neck like lot of guitarists could but I played to my strengths which were very Santana or BB King'esk skills- You gotta dial in the right tone and play that one note or chord at the right time that would just blow the entire crowd away.
The way i look back at it. I spent so many years pushing myself to be a more technical and skilled player to fit into a gap of my own creation that i could shoe horn myself into when in reality the band i was performing with never once asked me to be that guy.
We were a 4 peice. I played mainly rhythm guitar and did lead work on some of the songs when required but for the most part the lead singer on the piano/keyboard was always always the main star and I was happy with that arrangement.
if you watch a lot of live shows on youtube, you'll see that a lot of the lead singers talk about a lot of random shit to fill gaps during an intermission. It doesnt have to be a high IQ conversation. Every front man does it. Sometimes other band members do it too. You push the drummer, bass player or keyboard player out onto the stage to do a solo session or have a game of musical charades with the crowd while the others take a quick break. Hell, Even the bass player from the foo fighters managed to get all the people at their show singing Bohemian Rhapsody.
Just be you.

She seems so down to earth. And she's as gorgeous as ever to this day.
Gotta love Amy Lee , she's stunning
Love the original songwriters nothing comes close these days the legends of the 90s and esrly 2000s
You young ones have no idea
Band-Maid plays early 00’s hard rock, punk and a little metal with pop hooks at a level beyond what any early 00s band was capable of. Puzzle, Warning, Moratorium, Blooming, DICE; these are songs that are early 00’s songs on steroids.
Beyond that, as much as I have nostalgia for 90s and early 00s music, nothing compares to 70s and 80s for songwriting. They were just categorically better.
Half the popular music from the burnt out 80s is just the same 3 sounds played a few hundred times for 5 minutes straight while they sing the same 3 lines the music of modern day has decided to do the same thing
@@lucidairity7927 using them damn auto tune i cant stand it
Im actually jealious of my grandparents
@@lucidairity7927 True but half of all music has always been extremely simple and derivative no matter what generation. The difference being in the 80's 50% the music had this problem. Today, 99.6% of current music has this problem. Also, another major issue is that music of today simply has less instrumentation, real or fake. Music used to have bombast and grandiose arrangements and now we get one looped beat on a computer. The White Stripes look like a full orchestra by comparison to today's music.
Yall an amazing band stg not some rip off but a band truly inspired by the greats of old is Gretta Van Fleet the live at red rocks is a great performance its 2 parts i cant recommend it enough its like breathing fresh air while living in a co2 den of musical shite
She is gorgeous!! She needs to share how she keeps her skin looks so flawless
OH MY GOD She is so GORGEOUS!!
I understand but I have to say that Bring Me To Life IS NOT Bring Me To Life without Paul.
Paul from 12 Stones doesn't get enough credit for his singing ability.
@@mikefox6766 Yeah. 12 Stones is so good to
The song needed something to break it up so it wasn't too repetitive, honestly it was the right call
Finally the story came out.. this is also what make me wonder years ago
She’s so beautiful 😪
Amy Lee is a super cool timeless beauty
That was actually the reason I started into listening to Evanscence. I loved 12 stones and ironically that it probably he only part he has ever rapped in his life
Exactly, I had 12 stones first album back in the day and I don't remember even one time he rapped.
Paul was the best part of that song. Guess Wind-Up knew what they were doing.
@@Cristi81272 I think they actually wrote the song tbh. Everything about it sounds like 12 stones and evanescense one-hit-wonder never wrote anything like that again.
I got to see Evanescence live. It was awesome and amazing!! 10/10
She's so dang awesome! Instant crush!
It's time for you to interview Amy again
I remember loving that mix, then listening to the full album and finding out it was only for one song. I felt cheated. It took me some time to return to evanescence lol.
childhood crush🤩
I always admired her integrity. 👍
The way how she has not aged at all jawdrops me. Id like to know what's her secret 😄
Oh man. She’s gotten fat. Wtf are you talking about.
Money
Same thing that gave her, her super human singing ability.. Selling her soul to the devil.. 😅😂
Vampirism
It worked though didn't it. Amy's angel voice contrasted with the rapping was a stroke of genius. Sometimes these labels and producers know what they're talking about.
The label also wanted a male vocalist for the whole group though which I don’t think would have worked well. It worked well for that song, but that was the compromise. So yea, labels can have good ideas but it’s important for an artist to at least hold their ground in some way.
I remember reading the featured rapper's name and thinking "Who?". Then, hearing what he contributed I thought he was unnecessary.
@@ASillyPigeon Oh yeah for sure but when you're a nobody sometimes you have to make concessions to get that big break. It is interesting though because Bring Me to Life is their biggest song. It put them on the map and opened career doors for them. Would it have been as big with just her? How would an entire album of her and a male vocalist have been received? We'll never know. Groups like Skillet and Lacuna Coil exist and are popular so there's definitely a market for it.
She was my crush back then in high school and I guess my "crushness" is starting to kick in back again
I Love this woman 😍😍😍
But the singer of 12 stones is not a rapper
He rapped that part though..
Yeah he really only “rapped” the words “wake me up,” and sang the rest, including the bridge.
But there are some rap parts in their earlier stuff. I haven’t really kept up.
That's what irritates me. I was actually a huge 12 Stones fan a good year or two before Bring Me to Life and I don't ever recall Paul rapping in any 12 Stones songs.. they were a rock band too lol. That's why I was puzzled in his role in the song 🤔
@@rosxjun - Well I would consider Soulfire (verses) and the bridge part of Fade Away to be rap, to name a couple, but I wouldn’t call him a rapper in general. 😆
@@rosxjun music industry is so unfair sometimes, they don't even let their artist to express themselves, just because of thinking only in money.
I know Evanescence's previous works too and they used to be even darker, more serious and sober than with Fallen and their later albums, and obviously darker than Bring me to life; so I understand why they didn't want that rapped sound on their music. I prefer their "before fame" music, it's kind of more melodic and poetic.
What a shame to know that they pressed that guy too(12 Stones vocal), by carring him to do what he didn't usually do with his voice.
I will say though: that particular song works perfectly with the rap co-vocals. I heard the "as inteded" original and it just sounds flatter.
I love the slight vibe of Chris Farley SNL interview skit with this guy.
I'm so excited to see her at Aftershock!!!
ugh, i love evanescence so much! i always could see amy lee covering “i refuse” by aaliyah or them having a collab (before 2001).
even Amy Lee wanted to be Amy Lee
As a poet/rapper I always enjoyed rock/rap mix. Amy Lee's voice is powerful & can fit so well within any genre. It's because of her why I always have female influence on my songs. I would love to do a song with her one day
I love her eyes
