Well, i've heard about it only because as a teacher in a high school i asked kids to tell me what were their favorite songs. Some people just avoid certain genres.
Interesting fact: the guy that inspired her to write the sentence “how can you see into my eyes like open doors” is currently her husband. That says a lot jaja
Going under. Nice name drop seeing everyone talking about my immortal. Both great songs. And as someone said.. era defining. I’m almost 37 years old so I often forget how young knox is lol
@@robertmilligan3162 I'm 50 and i can't imagine someone don't know evanescence as it was on every radio all the day when these titles came out 😁😁Getting old sucks 😅
seconding both of these, Going Under is freaking INCREDIBLE and has an amazing video. Knox I think you'd also really dig the lyricism of Everybody's Fool and Lithium, both of which are MONSTROUSLY good songs and some of Evanescence's best work in my opinion.
Amy Lee is a vocal behemoth. Glad you heard them. The male vocalist is Colt McCoy from 12 Stones, so he is not on their other songs but this song blew Evanescence up into the stratosphere.
Fun fact: Evanescence was going to record this song with just them on the track, but the record label insisted they add a male vocal. For a very long time, when they perform it, they do it with just Amy on vocals, like they had originally intended. Evanescence is *amazing.* If you want to continue the beautiful rabbit hole, I'd recommend (in no particular order): My Last Breath, Going Under, Call Me When You're Sober, and My Immortal. Those are some of my favorites (and no one ever recommends My Last Breath for some reason!).
I know there's probably an unpopular opinion, but having listened to both versions of the song, I don't think it would have been the success it was without the male vocal
I couldn't believe this is the first time you are reacting to Evanescence! That caught me off guard! Amy Lee has one of the most amazing voices out there. You should definitely check out some more Evanescence!
I definitely think he’d heard this one before, the way he was able to perfectly hear the lyrics every time is pretty unusual when listening to a rock song first time 😂 even the screamy bits he got
Range is not everything but she absolutely has it. Listen to the Anywhere but Home live version of Bring Me to Life. With just her voice and the piano, she has these incredible vocalizations that sound like a violin and later in the song (the line don’t let me die here) she does a full-on metal growl. The intro to Going Under showcases her beautiful lows and songs like Snow White Queen, Like You, Lithium, and Your Star also beautifully showcase her range.
This song was an EXPERIENCE when it first came out. It was so raw and at the same time so ethereal, most people had never heard anything like it. Amy Lee, the main singer, has such a unique voice, both high and low at the same time.
I remember Amy Lee in an interview talking about how the original version of this song didnt include any male vocals, but when a certain studio approached bout buying song rights for a project they were developing they told her them that they wanted the song, but they wanted a male vocalist written in to meet their audience, and she originally walked out on that meeting. It wasnt unyil she was later convinced by other members to just write in the male vocals so they could take the deal because they knew it was that shot that would take them to the next level. So we got this version instead and evanescence became one of the greatest female lead bands of its time
Not only that, but even more ironic is that in a way she has come to embrace it over the years having all sorts of guests performing the male vocal portion on tours. Most recently was Jacoby from Papa Roach.
Amy Lee’s voice paired with Korn for Mtv’s unplugged version of Freak on a Leash is a must listen!!! Knox! You should give it a try, it’s one of my all-time favourites!!
Yes, this is my favorite of theirs. I always practiced this one on repeat, pretending I had been somehow magically called up on stage to sing along with her! ❤
I just saw Evanescence with Muse a few months ago and she still sounds exactly like this. "Call me when you're sober" is my all time fav - highly recommend. But her voice ❤
Im glad you did Evanescence. Amy is just one of those voices you could listen to forever. My Immortal is one that shows off Amy's voice amazingly and is soooo beautiful. If you want more like this the Halestorm is another good band. Lizzy is a powerhouse of a singer. I would reccommend I Miss The Misery or I am The Fire. They have so many amazing song but i love both of those.
So glad you've made it to Evanescence. Amy Lee's voice is utter perfection and if you continue to listen to them, you'll be in for a wild ride. Can't wait to see more of your videos.
I don't think any other artist has resonated to my core with their voice other then Amy Lee, her voice is very mesmerizing and unforgettable " My Immortal"" is another one worth the listen as well as "Lithium" is so haunting and "Everybodys fool'' that sends out a powerful message for that era lets say. Good reaction as always! Edit : Going under as welllll!!! Can't believe I forgot that one !!
I love Evanescence this song was inescapable back in the day, but still a great song. Others have said in comments already but I have to agree My Immortal is the best, I also love Lithium and Going Under for the more popular songs but I also think the song The End Of The Dream is underrated
Her 2022 Nova Rock performance of the End of the Dream is immaculate. I almost like it more than the original. She sounds absolutely incredible, on an outside stage mind you, with singing the opening the verse practically a cappella and then the band comes in HARD with the fantastic Will Hunt on drums. Incredibly emotional.
Saw Evanescence with Halestorm and what an amazing concert! Both ladies are just as good live if not better! Amy Lee and Lzzy Hale are vocal beasts. Two of my all time favorites!!!
Man, this takes me back. I was a teenager when this came out, but my favorite song was Hello; never did tend to find the most popular songs on albums to be my favorite. The thing that really surprised me about the album was the song Tourniquet because I knew it from its first iteration by the band Soul Embraced before Evanescence was even a thing.
Going Under is freaking INCREDIBLE, definitely the song i recommend you trying out next, especially as it has an amazing video. I think you'd also really dig the lyricism of Everybody's Fool and Lithium, both of which are MONSTROUSLY good songs and some of Evanescence's best work in my opinion.
The Knox Hill breakdown we all needed!! One of the most powerful voices of our generation, I had the opportunity to see her perform with a live orchestra and had goosebumps the entire show! To say it was amazing would be an understatement
Dude, you catch EVERYTHING. The guitar pan behind the first verse is really subtle. Welcome to Evanescence! This is such an amazing piece. Now that you've started, you should really check out My Immortal. More of Amy Lee's amazing vocals are always welcome. Have you considered (or are you already familiar with) Paramore? I really liked their early stuff.
Evanescence and Within Temptation are pretty much my absolute favs for this genre. They actually toured together recently, what a show that would’ve been.
lol there is absolutely no way to not have heard this song if you're over the age of about 25. This song was quite literally impossible to avoid hearing in the 2000s
All of these react to videos are the same... search for 1st time hearing bohemian rhapsody. All these grown men and women pretending they've never turned on the TV or radio, been to a shop or seen a movie lol
@@rooscanbulat6107 That's the point, at the time this song was not some "edgy emo music" it was literally everywhere, clubs, bars, TV, radio. You must have lived under a rock to not have heard it. No offense.
Honestly this whole album is a fantastic debut album. I used to play it on repeat. Others have said, but Hello from this album is one of the best tracks they've made.
“Bring Me To Life” is one of my favorite songs. It’s a different kind of love song. It was aggressive yet beautiful and quite poetic. This song literally wakes up the heart and soul in a personal way (to me at least).
I've actually never seen the video for this song. It's really cool. I heard this on the radio and immediately looked up everything I could about her. Her voice is amazing. Can't go wrong with anything she's done.
I took my wife to see them and Korn in concert at the end of 2022. Amy Lee's voice was taxed from a full concert season and you could tell it. She was still a beast (so was Korn) and I highly recommend seeing either if you get the chance!
The elegant monster that is the style of Evanescence. Quiet, calm, rough, dangerous, intelligent, raw. This is the best example of alternative music. Will always adore it and jeep it on my workout track.
Thank you for doing this one, Knox. This song especially holds a special place in my heart, as it was *the* most favorite song of my late uncle. My uncle was 54 years old when he passed away 5 years ago due to heart problems, so this song has been really close to me ever since, at it was also played during his funeral, giving the song another meaning. It's a song that easily makes me cry these days.
A lot of singers, including in competitions tried to cover Evanescence songs but simply couldn't get there. Amy's voice is beautiful, haunting and reaches deep into your soul.
So satisfying to be the first😂 Since this is evanescence, please react to my immortal, tourniquet, everybody’s fool, hello, going under or haunted. The classics xD any of the above will be great to see, love your reactions and all the content you make bro, big up and much love from the UK
OH MY GOD! I have been waiting on you to react to them. THANK YOU! 🙏 She is an angel. And she writes and sings about real subjects like mental health, social injustice and other things. My Immortal, Call Me When You're Sober, Going Under, Lithium, Everybody"s Fool, and Use My Voice are some of her best. She also collabed with Seether on a song called Broken.
This woman is amazing, and she's got some great music. I was never super impressed with her band though, I think she deserves a better supporting cast.
6:05 she looks like a ghost passing the old man's window, that coupled with the ambulance sirens at the end makes me really wonder about that saying "If you hit the ground while falling, you die in real life" and I have always loved this song, it inspired quite a few poems.
Yeah Amy Lee has such a beautiful haunting voice if you want to hear more of her I would suggest Going Under, My Immortal, Everybody's Fool, Haunted, Imaginary, Call me When Your Sober and Lithium and Cloud 9 and Sweet Sacrifice just to name a few.
Amy Lee has such a distinctive voice and lyrical talent. Most of her songs are so poetic and have beautiful yet sad/dark undertones. Just an amazing talented singer.
This song in the Daredevil movie soundtrack was huge. Like U2s Joshua Tree, everyone one of my friends had this album whatever genre they listened to: country, rap, alt rock, metal, gospel. It was weird.
Evanescence is a really cool band to dive into if you like the female fronted symphonic rock/metal style. Another interesting one to view and/or react to might be Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera (if you like Amy Lee's voice for Evanescence, Floor will blow you clean out of the water!)
I was an utter pop girl in the early 2000s but loved Evanescence, Amy’s voice is just hauntingly beautiful and this her delivery is perfection, there’s hurt, anger , despair and pain in the lyrics and it’s demonstrated so brilliantly in this song. Give Hello a listen at sone point obviously My Immortal is the other song Evanescence are very well known for but Hello was always one of my faves.
Since you’ve been reacting to both Bring Me The Horizon and Amy Lee lately, maybe you should consider the song they did together. It has pretty interesting lyrics for you to dissect. It’s called: ”One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death” (:
Fun fact: Amy Lee and the rest of the band hates the fact that they were forced into shoehorning in the rap part of this song which very much dates it to the early 200's, late 90's. She released a rapless version of the song a few years ago.
Absolutely loved this song when it came out and was a casual fan of the band since. But I got to see Evanescene open up for Muse a few months back and I'm glad I did. Amy Lee was incredible to hear perform live.
Probably one of my favorite groups of all time and her voice is epic. Now I know you have heard this before because when it came out it was one of the most played songs on the planet, so unless you live under a rock in the desert...I don't believe you haven't heard it. But you should definitely do more Evanescence.
lzzy hale from halestorm has amazing vocals and the halestorm song break in ft amy lee was an awesome display of vocal prowess and harmonies from them both ❤
@@Nightwolves1981 I'm more a fan of her growls and screams, honestly Lzzy sounds wicked in I Miss the Misery just sayin'. But yes the harmonies are fantastic in Break in... Also The Raconteurs have amazing harmonies too come to think of it... Consolers of the Lonely, or even Level... their songs are timeless masterpieces too.
Amy Lee is a rock Goddess. There is no better. So much emotion. If you want to try more. One of my favourite 's is "My heart is Broken" her voice on that song is beyond amazing.
Got to see them during their prime back in the early/mid 00’s and they were excellent live. That was the first festival style concert I ever went to and it had some the biggest rock/alternative bands of the early 00’s like Seether, Godsmack, Powerman5000, and probably a dozen others. I had stayed over at a friends house the night before and then my dad showed up early that morning saying I couldn’t stay anymore and he needed help doing some work. I was bummed about leaving my friends house but then I asked if my friend could come too and we could both help with the work and then he could be there to stay over at our house, but my dad flatly refused and was getting very irritated about it all. So, defeated and out of options, I got in the truck and we drove off. We drove for about 30 minutes with me stewing like a toddler before my dad broke the news that we weren’t going to the junkyard or going to do any work, and that we were actually going to the festival. Obviously that reveal totally changed my mood and I felt bad as I realized that the reason my dad wouldn’t let my friend come and was getting irritated was because he only had 2 tickets and because I had whined so much about it all thinking he was just ruining my saturday by not letting my friend come over. We had a great time though and it was an awesome day. I also ended up getting a contact high at the concert which was a first for me as well lol.
Amy Lee is one of the only vocalists that I know of that can whisper a scream. Amy fought the music label about having the male vocalist in this song but she finally gave in reluctantly. The song ended up to be the band’s biggest hit. If you really want to hear a great show of her voice check out Wasted On You (String Sessions 2020)
They wanted even more male vocals in it more in style to nu-metal but she fought it and this was the compromise, I think, she talks about it in a Wikipedia fact or fiction video
I've seen her twice this year and her voice, even live and this many years after this was released, is still phenomenal and powerful and oh so pure. My Immortal, Going Under, Call Me When you're Sober, Everybody's Fool, and more are great ones worth a listen for sure!
A younger colleague was browsing youtube a couple of days ago as i was walking past him. I see the thumbnail for this video and go "oh, this guy is awesome. very analytical about his reactions". His response "dude... i know, that's why i watch him!" Congrats, knox... you've bridged two generations.
both songs from Evanescence "Bring Me To Life, and My Immortal" were used in sound track for the Daredevil movie, which is where a lot of people first heard these songs
Cuando era adolescente escuchaba seguido esta canción, y todavía me gusta mucho! Apoyo el pedido para que reacciones a My Immortal, que también es una canción de Evanescence. Gracias por tus excelentes análisis de siempre, Knox! Saludos
OMG! One of my favorite! I hope you go through all their songs. - My Immortal - Going Under - Lithium - Sweet Sacrifice - Call Me When You're Sober - Good Enough These are a few of my favorites! I hope you get to them one by one. I assure you that you won't be disappointed with the vocals that Amy Lee possess.
The contrast between the pure soprano vocals of Amy Lee and the lower, raw rick singing of the guy is what I have always loved about this song. It just works
Another great band to check out with an amazing female lead is Halestorm. Two songs that are a great introduction to their music are: I Miss The Misery and Love Bites (So Do I)
This hauntingly beautiful song is one of the first songs I looked up during my first and so far ONLY suicidal impulse. This, My Immortal and three songs from Linkin Park helped me talk myself out of slashing my wrists with a box cutter, and I am SO grateful for that. Thank you, Evanescence and Linkin Park for helping me choose to keep living, even if my life spectacularly goes to hell in a hand basket.
When Evanescence hit the scene it was the first time I realized a voice could soar above rock so pristinely. A female voice that is, because, well, Robert Plant, of course. Amy Lee's vocals are so phenomenal. You should def ck out Hello, My Immortal, and Sober. ❤

That song makes me cry every time
Agree👍
Exactly!
Oh man, this song was *EVERYWHERE* when I was a kid and teen! Even 20 years later, it's still amazing.
True!
Absolutely. Can't believe it's been 2 decades already

Ain´t no way Knox haven´t heard this before, it´s literally era defining.

Agree! It was played everywhere! From MTV to radio, clubs,bars,etc. He must have heard it but he didn't analyse it 🤷🏼
Lol I was thinking the same thing
yep 1000% thought the same thing.
Interesting fact: the guy that inspired her to write the sentence “how can you see into my eyes like open doors” is currently her husband. That says a lot jaja
Going Under, and My Immortal are both great tracks to check out next from Evanescence

@RoxyGotMoxy. I LOVE Lithium. Such a great song! Good Enough is another one I think is underappreciated.
That entire album is fantastic. Top to bottom one of the best albums of that era
“Everybody’s Fool” by Evanescence is a must watch!
Incredible song, great music video, poignant message.
Agreed!!!
Yes! Amazing music video
Please do this song
Agreed!!
I've never heard of this song! I'm gonna check it out!
Amy Lee is a vocal behemoth. Glad you heard them. The male vocalist is Colt McCoy from 12 Stones, so he is not on their other songs but this song blew Evanescence up into the stratosphere.
you have the wrong Mccoy. colt Mccoy was a football quarterback. the male vocalist here is paul Mccoy who was indeed from 12 stones.
@@Nightwolves1981 you are so right. My brain had a hiccup there. It's definetly Paul McCoy.
Wait, I thought it was Mike Shinoda on male vocals here. Was I wrong all this time?
Then again, I never saw the full video before. That doesn't look quite like Mike.
@@matthewconroy8596 Yes you're incorrect. It's Paul McCoy from 12 Stones.

Add in My Heart is Broken

Amy Lee is a vocal goddess. She doesn't have the biggest range, but it's such a unique, powerful, haunting, ethereal voice.
Range is not everything but she absolutely has it. Listen to the Anywhere but Home live version of Bring Me to Life.

Y no te olvides de weight of the world
This song came out 20 years and I can confirm that Amy Lee's voice is just as amazing today. Seeing her live was a crazy feeling.
She was amazing live!!
Jesus I'm old.
Saw her last year at LTL and she kill it as always
I got to see her when she was on tour with muse in stl earlier this year one of the best concerts I've been 2
@mysticlooter8418 I saw the same concert but in Chicago. She was great! I went there for One ok Rock, but really enjoyed her set as well.
this woman is a siren herself. welcome to the most beautiful side of music. glad to see you experiencing such insane beauty.
So here for this!! My Immortal next, please. Amy Lee's voice is indeed haunting and powerful at the same time ❤
Seconded. That's my favorite song of hers
even Going Under or even Tourniquet is another great one

My mate has a copy of the demo CD they sent to the label and I have that version in full uncompressed quality which I ripped to .FLAC!
If you really wanna see the power and range in her voice, watch the music video for Call Me When You're Sober.
Amy Lee’s voice paired with Korn for Mtv’s unplugged version of Freak on a Leash is a must listen!!! Knox! You should give it a try, it’s one of my all-time favourites!!
I'm so glad someone else knows of this. Man it's my favorite performance of either of them. And it's so under the radar.
YES YES YES THIS. No one reacts to this and it's my favorite version of FoaL
Omg, Amy's voice always hits the soul. Please do more Evanescence, the band of my childhood!
Amy Lee’s voice is amazing. One of my favorites was always Hello by Evanescence. That song, her voice, gives me chills every time
Hello. I'm the lie living for you so you can hide. Don't cry.
Man that song still gets to me, all these years later.
Yes, this is my favorite of theirs. I always practiced this one on repeat, pretending I had been somehow magically called up on stage to sing along with her! ❤
Field of innocence lyrics too 😢
Yes ❤ used to walk around listening to and singing that song when I was in middle school ❤❤❤
Fun fact. The band didn’t want the rapper on the song but the label forced them to include it.
Amy Lee's voice is just beautiful. Evanescence along with Linkin Park will be forever my rock favorite bands.
Same! My all time favs
RIP Chris Bennington 😢
I just saw Evanescence with Muse a few months ago and she still sounds exactly like this. "Call me when you're sober" is my all time fav - highly recommend. But her voice ❤

I heard this on the radio and immediately looked up everything I could about her. Her voice is amazing. Can't go wrong with anything she's done.
I took my wife to see them and Korn in concert at the end of 2022. Amy Lee's voice was taxed from a full concert season and you could tell it. She was still a beast (so was Korn) and I highly recommend seeing either if you get the chance!
Same!!
Cannot believe you are hearing her for the first time. Such a lovely voice
The elegant monster that is the style of Evanescence. Quiet, calm, rough, dangerous, intelligent, raw. This is the best example of alternative music. Will always adore it and jeep it on my workout track.
My Immortal, Lithium, Call Me When You're Sober. So many great ones from them to chose from
Thank you for doing this one, Knox. This song especially holds a special place in my heart, as it was *the* most favorite song of my late uncle. My uncle was 54 years old when he passed away 5 years ago due to heart problems, so this song has been really close to me ever since, at it was also played during his funeral, giving the song another meaning. It's a song that easily makes me cry these days.
My Immortal and Imaginary are beautiful. What I love about Imaginary are the lyrics, they are so good and creative!
A lot of singers, including in competitions tried to cover Evanescence songs but simply couldn't get there. Amy's voice is beautiful, haunting and reaches deep into your soul.
So satisfying to be the first😂
Since this is evanescence, please react to my immortal, tourniquet, everybody’s fool, hello, going under or haunted. The classics xD any of the above will be great to see, love your reactions and all the content you make bro, big up and much love from the UK
you were second tho
@@felixbeaulieu852yeah.. I know.. 😢
OH MY GOD! I have been waiting on you to react to them. THANK YOU! 🙏 She is an angel. And she writes and sings about real subjects like mental health, social injustice and other things. My Immortal, Call Me When You're Sober, Going Under, Lithium, Everybody"s Fool, and Use My Voice are some of her best. She also collabed with Seether on a song called Broken.
This woman is amazing, and she's got some great music. I was never super impressed with her band though, I think she deserves a better supporting cast.
6:05 she looks like a ghost passing the old man's window, that coupled with the ambulance sirens at the end makes me really wonder about that saying "If you hit the ground while falling, you die in real life" and I have always loved this song, it inspired quite a few poems.
Yeah Amy Lee has such a beautiful haunting voice if you want to hear more of her I would suggest Going Under, My Immortal, Everybody's Fool, Haunted, Imaginary, Call me When Your Sober and Lithium and Cloud 9 and Sweet Sacrifice just to name a few.
Amy Lee has such a distinctive voice and lyrical talent. Most of her songs are so poetic and have beautiful yet sad/dark undertones. Just an amazing talented singer.
Amy Lee has such a magical voice. Classically trained female rock vocal? My gosh its so good
This is amazing flashback! I had this album on repeat about 20 years ago!🤟
This song in the Daredevil movie soundtrack was huge. Like U2s Joshua Tree, everyone one of my friends had this album whatever genre they listened to: country, rap, alt rock, metal, gospel. It was weird.
Amy lee's voice is one of my favorites out of any artist and any genre. I've always thought her voice was so beautiful
Evanescence is a really cool band to dive into if you like the female fronted symphonic rock/metal style.
Another interesting one to view and/or react to might be Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera (if you like Amy Lee's voice for Evanescence, Floor will blow you clean out of the water!)
I was an utter pop girl in the early 2000s but loved Evanescence, Amy’s voice is just hauntingly beautiful and this her delivery is perfection, there’s hurt, anger , despair and pain in the lyrics and it’s demonstrated so brilliantly in this song. Give Hello a listen at sone point obviously My Immortal is the other song Evanescence are very well known for but Hello was always one of my faves.
Since you’ve been reacting to both Bring Me The Horizon and Amy Lee lately, maybe you should consider the song they did together. It has pretty interesting lyrics for you to dissect. It’s called: ”One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death” (:
Fun fact: Amy Lee and the rest of the band hates the fact that they were forced into shoehorning in the rap part of this song which very much dates it to the early 200's, late 90's. She released a rapless version of the song a few years ago.
12 Stones was a criminally underrated band in the early-mid 2000s. World so cold is such a powerful message.
Absolutely loved this song when it came out and was a casual fan of the band since. But I got to see Evanescene open up for Muse a few months back and I'm glad I did. Amy Lee was incredible to hear perform live.
Flyleaf " I'm so sick," this little chick can belt.... first time I heard them live I was blown away..
YES!!
Probably one of my favorite groups of all time and her voice is epic. Now I know you have heard this before because when it came out it was one of the most played songs on the planet, so unless you live under a rock in the desert...I don't believe you haven't heard it. But you should definitely do more Evanescence.
Any Lee did a beautiful duet with Lzzy Halestorm called Break in... dude, the fking harmonies.
lzzy hale from halestorm has amazing vocals and the halestorm song break in ft amy lee was an awesome display of vocal prowess and harmonies from them both ❤
@@Nightwolves1981 I'm more a fan of her growls and screams, honestly Lzzy sounds wicked in I Miss the Misery just sayin'. But yes the harmonies are fantastic in Break in... Also The Raconteurs have amazing harmonies too come to think of it... Consolers of the Lonely, or even Level... their songs are timeless masterpieces too.
She has a great voice.
She did an acoustic live performance with Korn singing Freak On A Leash for MTV. Also worth a reaction
Another in the rock genre is Believe by Disturbed. David Draiman is one of the greatest lyricists alive!
Can't go wrong with almost any disturbed song
Their version of The Sound of Silence 😳
I'm not sure he'd know what to make of Down With The Sickness 😂
love it when a song surprises you! it will always amaze me how quickly your mind works out where a song is going!
all the best to you & yours!
♥️🎶🙏🎶♥️
Amy Lee is a rock Goddess. There is no better. So much emotion.
If you want to try more. One of my favourite 's is "My heart is Broken" her voice on that song is beyond amazing.
Got to see them during their prime back in the early/mid 00’s and they were excellent live. That was the first festival style concert I ever went to and it had some the biggest rock/alternative bands of the early 00’s like Seether, Godsmack, Powerman5000, and probably a dozen others. I had stayed over at a friends house the night before and then my dad showed up early that morning saying I couldn’t stay anymore and he needed help doing some work. I was bummed about leaving my friends house but then I asked if my friend could come too and we could both help with the work and then he could be there to stay over at our house, but my dad flatly refused and was getting very irritated about it all. So, defeated and out of options, I got in the truck and we drove off. We drove for about 30 minutes with me stewing like a toddler before my dad broke the news that we weren’t going to the junkyard or going to do any work, and that we were actually going to the festival. Obviously that reveal totally changed my mood and I felt bad as I realized that the reason my dad wouldn’t let my friend come and was getting irritated was because he only had 2 tickets and because I had whined so much about it all thinking he was just ruining my saturday by not letting my friend come over. We had a great time though and it was an awesome day. I also ended up getting a contact high at the concert which was a first for me as well lol.
Amy Lee is one of the only vocalists that I know of that can whisper a scream. Amy fought the music label about having the male vocalist in this song but she finally gave in reluctantly. The song ended up to be the band’s biggest hit. If you really want to hear a great show of her voice check out Wasted On You (String Sessions 2020)
They wanted even more male vocals in it more in style to nu-metal but she fought it and this was the compromise, I think, she talks about it in a Wikipedia fact or fiction video
Im68 years old, this is one of the greatest song I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!So powerful, and at the same time so deep and smooth 👌!!!!!!
Definitely keep up with the Evanescence reactions, you will NOT be dissapointed! Good reactionT
You gotta check out her cover of Legends Never Die, it's so damn good. Amy is the QUEEN of alt-rock/grunge, voice of an angel man
Damn just noticed you hit 1 Million subs! Congrats! Love this womans voice!
I've seen her twice this year and her voice, even live and this many years after this was released, is still phenomenal and powerful and oh so pure.
My Immortal, Going Under, Call Me When you're Sober, Everybody's Fool, and more are great ones worth a listen for sure!
A younger colleague was browsing youtube a couple of days ago as i was walking past him. I see the thumbnail for this video and go "oh, this guy is awesome. very analytical about his reactions". His response "dude... i know, that's why i watch him!"
Congrats, knox... you've bridged two generations.
There’s no way you haven’t heard this before 😮
both songs from Evanescence "Bring Me To Life, and My Immortal" were used in sound track for the Daredevil movie, which is where a lot of people first heard these songs
I am dumbfounded that someone hasn’t listened to evanescence in this day & age. Disbelief aside I’m glad another person loves Amy Lee’s voice.
love this band and this song so much, both helped me get through some rough times.
Cuando era adolescente escuchaba seguido esta canción, y todavía me gusta mucho! Apoyo el pedido para que reacciones a My Immortal, que también es una canción de Evanescence. Gracias por tus excelentes análisis de siempre, Knox! Saludos
Yo la escuchaba de niño muy buenos recuerdos, por estas bandas adquirí el gusto por el rock 🤘
@@Felipe-u8p estas y otras bandas con este estilo de rock son una joya 👏
OMG! One of my favorite! I hope you go through all their songs.
- My Immortal
- Going Under
- Lithium
- Sweet Sacrifice
- Call Me When You're Sober
- Good Enough
These are a few of my favorites! I hope you get to them one by one. I assure you that you won't be disappointed with the vocals that Amy Lee possess.
Finally saw Evanescence live on tour with Muse this year. My daughter and I loved seeing both bands for the first time.
I believe I read somewhere that the label insisted on adding the little rap bits to it and Amy hated/hates it.
The contrast between the pure soprano vocals of Amy Lee and the lower, raw rick singing of the guy is what I have always loved about this song. It just works
you take it apart without breaking it.
Thank you so much!
Her voice is incredible, one of the most talented and underrated female singers I've ever heard.
Also, welcome to 00s lyrics. Those were the times. Meaningful, deep, pure poetry.
You really have never heard this song before?! Bro where have you been?! Love your intro song ♥️💯
Another great band to check out with an amazing female lead is Halestorm. Two songs that are a great introduction to their music are: I Miss The Misery and Love Bites (So Do I)
This hauntingly beautiful song is one of the first songs I looked up during my first and so far ONLY suicidal impulse. This, My Immortal and three songs from Linkin Park helped me talk myself out of slashing my wrists with a box cutter, and I am SO grateful for that. Thank you, Evanescence and Linkin Park for helping me choose to keep living, even if my life spectacularly goes to hell in a hand basket.
When Evanescence hit the scene it was the first time I realized a voice could soar above rock so pristinely. A female voice that is, because, well, Robert Plant, of course. Amy Lee's vocals are so phenomenal. You should def ck out Hello, My Immortal, and Sober. ❤
This was my favorite song as a kid. To this day it hits me in the feels 🥲
