Otep - Ghostflowers

[@katresan1059]

I was 13 when I came across this song. It was the first time I've ever seen a woman singing metal. She showed me that we're made for this genre and I'm incredibly thankful for that.

[@janath9118]

Yes, that's right. I am a man of 60 years living in South Asia, and its the first time I have seen a female singing heavy metal this way. I knew about few female artists like Suzi Quatro, Lita Ford, Vixen etc who were on the hard rock music genre but never heard of a female heavy metal hard rock singer like Otep Shamaya until recently. This lady heavy metal artist is really good and her talents are equal to the other highest ranked heavy metal artists of today! Sorry about the late comment.

[@sylviasilva3829]

Same here I will always love Otep!! My first concert I ever went to what a great memory ❤

[@jayhosh8126]

Her and the band Kittie. The OG queens of modern heavy metal

@@janath9118 I'm late but check out Jinjer if you haven't.

[@jasondaniels640]

A fav along with Sharon den Adel and Tairrie B (should check out something like Made to Measure)

[@eggyegg1338]

I have so much respect for Otep Shamaya...she went through a lot in her life and found her salvation in metal.

[@janath9118]

Me too. I found out about Otep Shamaya much recently but since then I listened to many of her songs. Her songs are very good and equal to or better than the music of some highest ranked or acclaimed metal bands of today. I too have much respect for Ms.Otep Shamaya.

OTEP, SEMBLANT,JINJER and In This Moment Great female vocal bands!!!

[@justinpaschall4452]

Crisis. Gospel of witches.

[@janath9118]

"Ghostflowers" by Otep. Its a really good hard hitting heavy metal song. I found out about this band much more recently. The main vocals are by Ms.Otep Shamaya, the lady heavy metal singer who has many talents. It's very rare to find a female artist doing heavy metal stuff and she is doing it quite right! This band deserves much more acclaim than this, because they are in the same class as the highest ranked heavy metal, hard rock bands of today. Sorry about the late comment.

[@RippinBeefers]

Every time I hear Evil J's bass I jizz rainbows from the awesomeness.

[@niteshades_promise]

i love this song. still rocking all the time years later.🍻

[@janath9118]

Yes, you are right.

[@leonoff89]

the bassist in this band is a monster player

[@carocozinha9545]

This is precious. I was only a teenager back then but I still have this rage inside me. And I thank otep everyday for giving me this as an alternative to murdering people around me.

[@caroldaly8730]

My daughter got me into Otep. I took her to The Whiskey so many times when she was a teenager. Otep is a BADASS. We even had a cat named “ Evil Jay” lol. Good times. She is amazing live

[@spartan_zero_1829]

This song still gives me goosebumps. Such an incredible screaming.

[@kattvalentine5905]

This song its self has saved me but this whole band has :) Im learning this song on guitar :)

[@jettgjr31]

U gotta see them live wow

[@adambroom92]

i listen to this song almost everyday, and it never gets old, it always makes me "happy" everyday!!!

[@TigerNightshade]

I just stumbled on this band while listening to one of my favorite Pandora radios. completely blew my mind. I know good music when i here it and this is the best I've heard so far.

[@RatedEdgeHead69]

0T3P is brutal to the core. their videos are always fantastic.

[@jessehayward4286]

I love her art so much. Love seeing her emotions in her videos

[@motherwolff]

So beautiful,so full of rage and fire.brilliant artist and musician unparallelled by any Ive ever seen.Such powerful screams that evoke deep emotion in me every time I listen to her...

[@janath9118]

Yes, you are right. I agree. Sorry about the late comment.

[@Jess_reign_bass]

I was blown away the first time I heard this. Remember thinking 'This just keeps getting better!'

[@chico_dusty_III]

I'm pretty sure this is one of the greatest songs ever made.

[@punisher7772]

It is. This video kicks ass 🤘

[@rosanacastro5084]

Otep is so Beautiful.

[@deadbysun4397]

led guitarist gives an enthusiatic expression(1:50) when he begings to play his guitar in distortion,love that moment. its the 8th time,im watching it here. i watched more then 10 times when i found this video here in youtube for the first time.

[@saylap.5392]

When I first heard this I didn't think I could relate I just loved the song, but it was my uncle that took advantage later in my life. But I totally get it. And I play it even more for release.

[@LUISGABRIELBALDEON]

Nobody talks about how beautiful that bass sounds 😄... because of the bass player of this group I learned to play it

[@BellaHall21]

I saw otep live in Portland Oregon and it was just so awesome to see them perform. The band's that were opening acts as well as the one's that were touring with Otep were surprisingly well paired to be in the lime light and held up to a high standing level of quality that with time and more professional developmentally appropriate practice in the public eye on and off stage could go far with a solid career in the music industry touring with their own unique style and opening artists to pump up the volumeof the crowd's interests rising the anticipation for the time to have the band everyone came to see play

Whenever I think about the days of finding new music on Myspace this is the first song/band I think of.

[@CraigPhilipMyBeer]

The bass definitely sounds like LD 50 Mudvayne and there isn't anything wrong with that. Good song!

[@johnmarkgamayot4434]

All instruments sounds like similar to The New Game album of Mudvayne.

[@about90frogs]

I rock, AND ROLL .... all night long......sweet Susie. Your syntax brought that to mind.

[@MsDjessa]

Every time I watch this I´m astonished how beautyfull Otep is, both her voice and looks. I mean, every single time, she´s just so awesome!

[@glennawashere]

Otep is easily the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on (:

[@toxicAngel0fDeath]

[@susshexe7987]

I missed this song... It's been a while.

What I like most about this band is that the bass player (and his talent) isn't muffled in the background by vocals and lead guitars. Good job Otep.

@ShogaNinja To be fair, there WERE more female-fronted metal bands before Evanescence than what Lita Ford put out .. Power Symphony, Hanzel und Gretyl, Hellion, White Skull, Holy Moses, Girlschool, Bitch, er..L7, kinda... hell, I think Gwar had a female vocalist a few times. Probably a lot more that I never heard of. The thing is, they never got any recognition. But they did exist, it's not fair to assume they didn't :P

[@mscamelot607487]

You know... even though I am a christian, I still love Otep, and even though I am primarily republican, I still LOVE Otep, you know why? Because these songs are what keeps ppl from killing eachother, its a great outlet for anger and anguish, and I respect Otep for their belief in creativity and being the masters of their own lives. Don't let anyone tell you that the government or any higher being has control over your life, and believe in yourself.
