This song literally demands listeners to shut the f#%k up and bear witness to greatness for six minutes. Masterpiece.

[@kykk3365]

Ms Amos is more METAL than many of the bands you've listened to. Not her music, but definitely her personality.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Ok...that's pretty good right there. Rich

[@VulpesObscura]

Seriously, so many of her songs are so freaking metal. Listen to Precious Things and imagine it with guitars, for an example.

[@johna2066]

And some of her music gets pretty metal at times. Plugged tour yo.

[@sarakaster]

I agree that's why I was heart broken seeing her undergo plastic surgery...why.....

[@AprilCroft]

FUCK yes. 🖤

[@chuck196811]

"When you going to love you as much as I do?" One of the greatest questions to ask any child.

[@kellyslate7536]

Tori is as Authentic as it gets. She is a natural piano virtuoso!

[@denverdubois5835]

That moment when she asks, "...when you gonna make up your mind? when you gonna love you as much as I do?" It just kills me every damn time. Even after almost thirty years. She amazes me.

[@mementomori9781]

She's by far my favorite female artist, and im a diehard metalhead🤔😊🤘

[@Grillcrasher]

Ditto! She's phenomenal.

[@kennysoriginalmusicchannel5916]

I agree! I got into her back in the day. I was jamming out to Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and ...Tori Amos! It was cool because my lead guitarist had my back and got our whole band into her! Lol. She is amazing!

[@AprilCroft]

Yessssss 🖤🤗 same!

[@Grillcrasher]

I think there are more Tori Amos fans who are into metal than we assume :-)

[@TheMonkofshadows]

correct

[@DrDictionary8]

I feel like Tori Amos get's passed over a bit and is so underrated, considering her talent. I mean, she is utterly incredible. Feel like it would be a better world if she was more of a role model to our young girl's in the next generation coming through. Will make sure my niece experiences her majesty at least, haha.

[@melloncollie3321]

Heyo. I'm in my late teens and I was introduced to her by one of my best friends. She is very much a role model to both of us and we will totally both be introducing our future kiddos to her. 😊

[@DrDictionary8]

@@melloncollie3321 great to hear! Peace

[@MrKarmapolice97]

I feel like if was in the 60’s or 70’s she would have been taken more serious, a counterpoint to Carly Simon or Carol King. I feel like she would have been way more popular.

[@sakinaalia1067]

@@MrKarmapolice97 but at the same time, her influences were largely people in those eras, and if she didn’t grow up and be influenced by their music, than she wouldn’t have become the artist she was, so she couldn’t have existed in that time. Like she talks about Jim Morrison and Joni Mitchell and how they influenced her and if she wasn’t able to grow up with their music she may not be who she is.

[@kellyslate7536]

@@sakinaalia1067 You are completely right. Tori came along exactly when God intended her to. Had she come before many of the artists that actually influenced her then she wouldn't be the same Tori Amos that I know & love to this day & that would be a tragedy. Tori is also a huge influence to those that have come after her. She opened the door to a whole new way of performing, I'd never seen someone with 3 different types of piano's/keyboards(??), & sometimes all 3 within the one song. Tori is a Very Special Talent!

[@yomo1690]

Seriously, the cross over from metal fans to tori amos is legit. She is a true artist, which metal fans connect with, who has collaborated/been praised by artists like Maynard james keenan, Trent Reznor etc. She is the real deal. Her Little Earthquakes album is a perfect album. And this is coming from a Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Dimmu Borgir, Slipknot fan. This made me happy. Thanks

[@yomo1690]

@EJ D completely missed the point (even though nickleback using one of dimebags unused solo demos is not even the same ballpark) you are reaching, we get it. You don't like her. But for a woman you plays piano a helllllll of a lot of metal artists and metal fans love, like or at least appreciate her work. Therefore it fully justifies its inclusion on this channel.

[@yomo1690]

@EJ D its her way. I feel its genuine (she is definitely on the spectrum). You could say the same about Rammstein. Growl, whisper, flames, fire, riff, riff, march. Repeat. (And i like Rammstein

[@yomo1690]

@EJ D Kate Bush hasn't got music to back it up?!! Wtf. Same era? Varying tempos! You giving props to tempo changes. Fake anger & shock&awe. I like Rammstein but nah once you seen it twice you have seen it all. Listen to Precious Things , just a piano? I respectful say you are talking the bullshit.

[@ruinsane100]

@EJ D Man, you are WAY off base. You're certainly entitled to your opinions but your posts scream ignorance about Tori's music. Also, there will definitely be people listening to her music 100 years from now and beyond. She is beloved by so many for good reason. You don't like her - that's all you had to say.

[@popland1977]

@EJ D She reinterprets her songs constantly you dickwit

[@erwinamesz7642]

Tori Amos always make me cry. Incredible how she can touch those deeper feelings. Sometimes Black is what I need, sometimes it must be Red

[@spartanastas5560]

I agree... I feel anger towards those who hurt her, but without that... there is no song. I'd rather lose the song and save the soul though...

[@MrKarmapolice97]

She always mad me cry too she touches on some emotions and brings them to the surface she is beautiful! I always said she doesn’t play the piano she makes love to it!

[@ruinsane100]

NO WAY!!! YES!!!! Dude, I'm a lifelong metalhead and prefer very heavy music, but Tori is not only the exception, she is my favorite artist of all time. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

[@OhMandy079]

I love love love some Tori Amos I have met her over 10 times and she is the sweetest human I have ever met!

[@FalardeMusicaeLegal]

I love metal. I love progressive rock. And I love Tori Amos. People who get out the box and open their ears to talent are my favorite people!! I'm going to subscribe to this channel immediately! Lovely couple!

[@DRE_vid]

I've seen Tori in concert six times going back to 1994. The first time, she attacked the piano and was an intense sexual presence on stage. It was mind blowing. Her father lived near my hometown at the time, and he was in the audience with a lot of relatives. Rocker? Oh hell yes. Winter is a gorgeous, very meaningful song, and this was recorded in 1991, before she released Little Earthquakes. Her dad was in the audience at Montreux! Watch her face and you can see she is directing some lyrics to him.

[@Jedi71]

Precious Things is a metal Tori song...on a piano at that.

[@davidmenke7552]

Totally. I love her live versions from 1998. Lots of people don't know her inspirations are often hard metal

[@melissaveras]

YES! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ2tiJirepeAY8k the version that they should of watched!

[@briw3385]

"So you can make me cum, that doesn't make you Jesus."

[@JerkyPuck]

Hell yeah. Her live version on To Venus and Back is DEFINITELY hard!

[@ErwinVervaet]

Tori Amos is (or at least used to be) as heavy metal as it gets! And ludicrously talented... This songs truly moves me every time I hear it. Amazing.

[@TheNatalieAnna]

She is absolutely the BEST OF THE BEST! ❤️

[@neils123]

Never really listened to Tori Amos, but that was beautiful! I'm going to have to check out more of her work.

[@zimmy4868]

It’s definitely rabbit hole worth diving into..

[@throwdowninolytown]

Easily one of the most talented musicians of my lifetime.

[@AprilCroft]

Definitely

[@MySensualWorld]

Or any lifetime!

[@senegalparrot79]

You do not know the power of Tori Amos, until you have seen her live. I have been to around 40 shows over the last 20 plus years. Each one is amazing.

[@cassiewinters331]

She’s 54 now and still hitting those notes at the piano. I highly suggest anyone to see her live. She sits with just her piano and totally captivates the room. Every show is different. She does free meet and greets before the show. Also she always does a break in the show where she plays a few covers. To this day Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen is my favorite

[@tylerzwong3107]

She is born 1963, right? it should be 56, 2019

[@alangary9893]

Im a big Heavy Metal head or fan got into metal in later years of high school but i got into Tori Amos into 96 on Leno talk show .an loved her voice an style of playing oiano then had to get her first disc then an other ones .She is my favorite female singer

[@carliep123]

Tori defined the entite coming-of-age high school lives for her fans in the mid-1990s, us "toriphiles" emerged along with the internet, just a massive blessing she is. She touches that raw central cord of transcendental emotion that is irresistable. Her musicianship and perfectionism along with her stage presence created truly shamanic experiences..she is and always will be a legend.

[@ruinsane100]

Truth! Very well said.

[@BridgetEileen]

She's my favorite all-time artist and it was really special to watch you experience this performance for the first time. You two are freaking adorable and I loved everything about this!

[@user-tk4gr9zo7t]

Every time I hear voice her I literally can’t contain my emotions. It’s so hard to put to words. She’s like a movie with a million moments. I get so many pictures in my head when I listen to her. It is ridiculously passionate.

[@glenlawrence7430]

Tori Amos went to my high school after she was expelled from Peabody. One of my little sisters was in Madrigal choir and choir with her. In the early 80's she pressed a couple of demo songs and until the early 1990s my family had a copy of a 45 single titled Baltimore. In 1991 I was reassigned to Fort Meade MD and heard one of her songs on the radio (alternative radio). It had been ten years since I had heard the demo and the second the song came on I recognized her voice and I said, "That's Ellen Amos." I found out later that her stage name was Tori. I know that she was a fan of Led Zeppelin and does a cover of "Thank You"

[@cassiewinters331]

Oh it’s my favorite singer Tori Amos! I adore her so much and this woman has such a talent. Thank you for doing her. I know a lot of metal fans that love Tori. I finally got to meet Tori on the Native Invader after waiting 20 years to thank her for saving my life. Her Mom and her best friend died within a week of each other.

[@ruinsane100]

Her best friend died? Was that "Bean"??

[@charlessmith1698]

My favorite Tori Amos song!!!! Awesome

[@ericlenouy8756]

Oh yes, Tori Amos here with you ! What a great surprise ! Wonderful artist, thank you both !!

[@MrErikbaan]

This song always gives me chills

[@meaganpowell4768]

Cornflake girl is one of my all-time favorites!!

[@leosaidhi]

Oh, Tori, I love you so much. My favorite singer forever.

[@mhlevy]

Tori Amos is amazing. One of her major influences is Kate Bush. She performed "Don't Give Up" with Peter Gabriel (both on the album "So" and in the music video.) While she's not very well known in the US, I remember her first US TV appearance in 1978 on Saturday Night Live, hosted by Monty Python's Eric Idle. With a 4 octave vocal range, she's an amazing song-writer, musician, and producer. A few years ago she performed her first live concerts in 35 years. She played at the Hammersmith-Apollo in Londer for a month long engagement, 22 shows. The 75,000 tickets sold out in 15 minutes. She's only had a few US hits, like "Running Up That Hill" and "Cloudbursting," with Donald Sutherland starring with her in the music video. I remember seeing that SNL episode live when I was 16 years old, and it changed my life. Songs from her first albums that are really incredible (she was only 16 or 17 at the time, "discovered" by David Gilmour) include "The Man with the Child in his Eyes" and "Wuthering Heights." She's got quite a few amazing videos on KZbin you can check out.

[@ChrisPage68]

She does a great version of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.

[@c.willharden9589]

I love her rendition of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

[@ReklawLah]

You are my best chance ever to see a good reaction to "Crucify" by Tori Amos. Please.

[@pauldoerwang4879]

Being "All In" is her default setting.

[@tombigbee37riusa]

im a huge huge huge Tori fan an EWF (Ears With Feet) i love how open minded you guys are

[@whatsyourdealbruh]

Tori does a duet with Maynard from Tool. Song is Mohammed My Friend. Recorded about the same time as this video. Also, a heavier song from Tori is Code Red.

[@acidsupernova]

FYI (for Kel-N-Rich) - not as a duet on the album but she performed it as a duet once with him in a live performance at a benefit concert in support of RAINN.

[@WastedPo]

Tori Amos is my favorite musician of all time, and Little Earthquakes is my favorite album of all time. I'm also pleased to say that Native Invader, the album you were mentioning in your intro, is one of her best. Girl's still got it.

[@cliffrockalliance9071]

Metal head since 1984. I own every Tori Amos release. I've seen her live about nine times. Powerful. So fucking powerful.

[@1234tori]

thanks - beautiful - beautiful

[@Vader1138]

I don't like everything she has done but she has three or four albums I just adore all the way through along with individual songs on the others. Great pick.

[@musicmademejester]

I never knew who Tori Amos was until one day when I was watching Tool/APC/Puscifer videos and found a video with her and MJK performing live sitting on the piano performing "Muhammad My Friend" and I was in aww and fell in love. I suggest you guys react to it, great video.

[@sirex02]

Tori Amos Nothing Else Matters Live cover. Because she's more Metal than metal.

[@Aranes68]

Great choice. I love that song/performance!!!

[@davidjarvie9546]

Powerfull stuff by Tori really cool performance.🎧👍

[@StanleyKuo184]

My favorite song off her album Little Earthquakes. So much feeling packed into those lyrics that you can feel every emotion emanating from her lips when she sings. Truly a masterpiece.

[@dirkriley3004]

Great choice guys !! I love metal but I love me some Tori !! Shes a Beast on piano ! 🎵🎶🎼🎹🎹🎹

[@sarajade5111]

I absolutely adore her. She was a staple in my life growing up.

[@DrewD55]

Guys, she totally did plug in. Disc 2 of "To Venus and Back" was recorded on her "When Pianos Play Like Guitars" tour in 1998, in support of her "From the Choirgirl Hotel" record, and they were her first live shows (sure she's done plenty since in the last 20 years) to have a full live band (Matt Chamberlain, briefly of Pearl Jam, was the drummer). I saw that tour, and it was incredibly powerful. Review a song from that disc, and you'll no doubt love it.

[@kennysoriginalmusicchannel5916]

I love Tori Amos! I was listening to her back in the day and my lead guitarist and I got the rest of my band into her. I played piano when I was in the band and after a tape and CD I was anxious to incorporate some piano into our music. Tori is true to herself and that makes her metal!

[@chrislegner4816]

Might I suggest a double shot featuring a cover. "Raining Blood" by Slayer and then Tori's cover of the same. Quite the interesting contrast.

[@ruinsane100]

Great idea!

[@dancewalkertarot]

Holy shit I love that cover. So creepy. It’s perfect.

[@heddysings]

Tori has been rock and roll personified in her own way... since childhood. ❤🎶 Great video 🙌

[@PaulScherdell]

Rock & Roll, Prog-rock, Metal; if it's good it's good and can be appreciated and enjoyed no matter if it doesn’t hit an exact category.

[@Davescousemetal]

I’m a huge metal fan and I’ve loved Tori Amos’s music since I was in college in the mid to late 90’s. I think a lot of metal fans like her work because she is so raw and honest not to mention amazingly talented. She has worked with Trent Reznor of nine inch nails and has covered slayers raining blood too.

[@aimeek9384]

Love her voice!

[@wolfsonggames4988]

First song I ever heard by Tori Amos, way back in what... 91?. Grabbed me immediately. Been a fan since.

[@janinebedfordl]

Tori's nearest approach to rock might be a song called "Bliss" (she has dabbled in rockier stuff a few times, that's maybe just my favourite). Love Tori!

[@MrKarmapolice97]

Back in the late 90’s I was OBSESSED with her, she took me to places and emotions I never felt. Me and my boyfriend at the time (my first love) I got him tickets for his birthday in ‘98 on the Choirgirl Hotel Tour. She blew me away and their is a B-Side song she has called I Never Seen Blue, and it reminds me of my first love and that time in my life, it’s bittersweet. PS Tori’s dad used to take her to gay clubs and any other clubs to let her perform with she was like 12.

[@TheGacatmandu]

Tori's best song ever!!!!

[@AliRussel-dp3wu]

I 💜 her voice so much.🇺🇸💜💜💜👍

[@TheOligoclonalBand]

Awesomeness in all its forms - YES, that is an awesome way of saying it, thank you! I would tell everyone that first and foremost I am a fan of hard music, but I love so many other music I couldn't live without from classical, folk, jazz and so many other genres. If the music moves me, I don't care where it comes from.

[@fluorescenticon101]

You guys need to react to performances from her Plugged ‘98 Tour. You’ll see what she’s truly capable of in terms of hard rock.

[@warre1]

This is from 91. In 92 she had red dress. This is few months before her debut solo album Little Earthquakes was released, so she wasn't famous yet. Set behind her belongs to Moody Blues which performed after her.

[@dondavid7015]

Tori is the so AWESOME!!!! Great Channel, Guys!!

[@renendell]

I like metal. I also like Tori Amos. I hear it's not that uncommon actually.

[@RyanMovingViolationz]

[@darrylvonrokk]

WOW....Feels personified!!

[@michaelmitchell4080]

Brilliant art. Genius artist. I'm glad you found her. Your reactions are pure. I read from another viewer that in this video, Tori is looking across her shoulder regularly, looking at her father in the audience. So wonderful. I don't think you read these, but be well, regardless. /M.

[@oakhillfound847]

It can be argued that there's a direct line of influence from Kate Bush to Tori Amos. Had Kate not been afforded the right to perform her own music in her own way, I rather doubt Tori would have had so much support. In the same way, Tori paved the way for Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine.) I'm sure there are probably many more ladies who are even involved with music because of Florence.

[@jimehman8547]

Yep - I sent in a request for a Kate Bush song - so I'm right there with you.

[@maupg6647]

Have you heard Florence's version of Tori's Cornflake Girl? never thought anyone could nailed a Tori's song the way she did.

[@schm4704]

Listen to a live version of Precious Things. She really has some attitude in that song.

[@seanpaulcurran]

Thank you guys for taking the time to do this. I will head on over to your site, I want to plug you guys in to a few of her moreso plugged performances !

[@goatbut29]

Such a vital and important message for young girls discovering who they are. Fathers matter. Tori makes it so apparent. Men matter too.

[@remyparaskovia5499]

Tori Amos it's A Goddess

So, so awesome to see so much praise for T, especially from profile names I don't recognise. 😻

[@jacquesjrviens3384]

She has an unlimited amount of those thing that you just can't teach. She's the real deal.

Outstanding.

[@grahamhayes1085]

Good music is good. No need to explain further imo.

[@russcrist9228]

Y'all should check out her live performance of The Waitress from '98, I think it was 54th st sessions or something. It shows more of her metal side.

[@jossysylvain4004]

Tori s my favourite. Been a fan since first hearing crucify.

[@jonlate4581]

A tear-jerker, like many of her songs...

[@sarahlangley9039]

Most people don't know this but she is actually best friends with Maynard James Keenan (lead singer of Tool) and they often call each other when ever they are stressed and need a friend to talk to. They even sing to each other over the phone.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

This song = onions. Every time.

[@DavidMichaelCommer]

I am not familiar with you, but KZbin directed me here because Tori Amos is my favorite artist. It was really lovely to watch your faces as her lyrics revealed themselves. Tori Amos always gets a lot of credit for her musical ability but she rarely gets the credit she deserves for her poetry. You can’t deny that she reaches directly into the soul after watching people focus on her lyrics and her performance in real time.

[@keithdonald6583]

I cried with emotion watching this

[@joecrafted]

I first heard Tori after Headbangers Ball on MTV. I think the next segment was 'alternative' music. But her videos were often feature immediately afterwards, and she dropped my jaw. I always watched her music videos and am a big fan. I know a lot of metalheads who also love Tori, so it is not such a weird cross-genre request.

[@andysmith5806]

I would recommend just listening to the entire “Little Earthquakes” album. Crucify is an amazing song.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Oh yes! She knows that one. Rich

[@Kelly30stm]

Just found this one! I love Tori so much! Some of her songs are very metal. She also has a song with Maynard. They’re friends.

[@josercaamano1022]

My favorite female singer/musician.

[@simply_psi]

Great choice one of my favourite Christmas/Holiday songs along with Soon After Christmas by Stina Nordenstam

[@rianpoltrone8153]

I can blast EYEHATEGOD or High On Fire all day, than put on Tori Amos and cry. She may be the most emotional and passionate female musician ever. I love her music. I’m embedded in hardcore, chaotic heavy metal. But I proudly fly the flag for great music no matter what it is. And female artists like Tori Amos, Lana Del Rey, Mazzy Star, P.J. Harvey Portishead , The Go-Go’s and so many more are metal as fuck because they have integrity. They should be at the forefront of game changers in the musical spectrum.

[@butchbrewer4923]
