[@sombergirl2886]

I get chills when I hear Skin's amazing voice. Skunk Anansie is such an underrated band. The singer Skin done a duet with the singer from Sevendust on their album Home the song is called Licking Cream

[@gorygore8588]

that is a good one, i don't like nu metal stuff but way to put exemption on that particular song.

[@jasonsuter13]

Skin is my favourite female singer, she's just awesome👍

[@gorygore8588]

I almost forgot how dark and edgy skunk anansie's sound is.. good shit!

[@angelabordack]

You went into Skunk Anansie, damn. I haven’t listened to them in decades. Throwback!!!

[@yomo1690]

Definitely check out more by skunk anansie. They are not nu metal though. Good ones would be "weak" "brazen" or "hedonism". Great band.

[@AlmightyNorppa]

Those 3 you mentioned are in my opinion def the greatest songs by them :)

[@Stu-Bo]

Little Baby Swastika too.

[@MrKiltak]

Those are all great, "You'll Follow Me Down" live at Jools Holland is still my favorite kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnTGgpd5aL52bbM

[@BloodyBlues]

Skin (the singer of Skunk Anansie) also sings on a track of Tony Iommi's solo record. The track is called "Meat". I urge you to check it out and more Skunk Anansie is always welcome!!

[@alexbubblemint2434]

Skunk Anansie, woah. I love this band, not listened in a few years.

[@hr4bi0]

"That young lady's voice" - she's over 50 now :D

[@hr4bi0]

Aint Nobody: I sang her „happy birthday” on her 52nd birthday with 700.000 other people on a gig in august last year. She turns 53 in 6 weeks. Why would you tell something that is not true, yet so easy to check? Do you even google? Just chime in and say a random false thing instead of checking the facts first, why don’t you...

[@JoyAllgood]

Still sounds amazing

Skunk Anansie - Hedonism

[@intherapy1]

What a song. Blast from the past this one.

[@yomo1690]

Man that girl can sing

[@BurpleRX7]

Soooo happy you are discovering skunk Anansie! One of my favourite bands and my god what a message skin has

[@cordodaartist7131]

Love this song for real. So good to see people react to it

[@VotograV]

Well, then the next will surely by Christians React to "Selling Jesus" by Skunk Anansie?

[@mattikolb]

Yes please!

[@ct5625]

This is Skin's voice, and she's incredible. She sounds like this live, too. I saw them play a few weeks ago in Brixton, London. She has a very classical voice, she's been on stage performing with Pavarotti. You should definitely check out "Secretly" to really hear how amazing her voice is, although there's a lot from them that's great. And you're right about the intent of this song and video, it is hard to watch.

[@Brombit]

Yay! :D love this song. Skunk Anansie: On My Hotel TV - and/or - Tracy's Flaw

[@davidmachado11]

Moonspell - Full Moon Madness Moonspell - Night Eternal

Skunk Anansie - I Can Dream.

[@skulhed]

Cool band... their big hit was "Selling Jesus".

[@antoniomaraspin]

In Us, probably. Here in EU many many other hits more ane more

[@skulhed]

@@antoniomaraspin Exactly. In north america they had a lil' bit of success with Selling Jesus (because it was also in the Strange Days movie). To be honest I didn't realize "Weak" was their biggest hit overall until i looked it up

[@skulhed]

@john kerr I know, i realise that now... they never were a big thing in North America, but for a while Selling Jesus was everywhere, mostly due to the Strange Days movie.

[@joguipo]

@@skulhed On a side note: wicked film. Loved it.

[@-gohu-]

i remember blasting this album all summer, while playing tomb raider on my very VERY old computer. i must've been around 14. what a blast from the past! good times.

[@i_survived_raccooncity]

I like those memorys. Music, videogames, seasons, chillout time with friends - all combined together.

[@liminal_entity1331]

Never heard of this band before, but I really liked them. Their sound reminded me of a lot of 90's bands around the Nu Metal era, but that vocalist is something else. Seriously gave me chills.

[@jameslyddall]

Degainta Im English and this band is one of those special bands from the mid 90s. Check out their earlier stuff then let me know what you think. Also check out live acoustic performance all in black tie. I was in the audience such a cool band.

[@Harv72b]

Cass Lewis is incredible on bass. It doesn't really show through on this track, but if you delve deeper into their catalog you'll hear it. "Twisted (Everyday Hurts)" is a good example. Skunk Anansie is one of those bands that should've been a *lot* bigger than they ever got. They are still making music together today, with the exception of original drummer Robbie France who passed away in 2012.

[@jesusschizus272]

I'm so surprised You never heard of Skunk Anansie. 😯 In 90's and the beginning of millenium they were veeery big! And if it comes to Skin's vocal the best part is in WE DON'T NEED WHO YOU ARE! OMG, her vocal parts there are astonishing- and that's comming from a vocalist myself. 😉

[@lungfulldrummer8921]

Great band. Their early stuff had something of a rage against the machine feel to it. Well worth checking out more.

[@MrZeze87]

Coming to the end of the metal essentials week, with another non-metal song, like most of them, seems fitting. :P One final chance tonight for one of the many metal bands left on the lists? As for Skunk Anansie, my brother loved them, heard a lot of it when I was young, it was pretty cool, but I hadn't heard them in a long time.

[@JG-fv9bv]

Skunk Anansi "Weak" , "Twisted" , "Hedonism"

[@MarcinOfTheNuclearVillage]

So cool you've got James there... #getwellpapahet Much Love & Respect to you both! \m/

[@DethronerX]

She's fucking badass! \m/ This is soul singing, man. Please check "Oceans of Slumber - The Decay Of Disregard (music video)". Badass female soul singer, Cammie Gilbert. Sick fucking drummer, Dobber Beverly (Insect Warfare) and other musicians who are both oldschool metal and modern. There are some dragging parts I hate, when some parts keep going on for some time, but it's a good pay off in the end, worth the trip. It could have had a guitar solo, but that's fine. Please do check this song, its really cool!!

[@charlesalden6434]

Wow I saw this band live with Staind, Powerman 5000 and Sevendust close to 20 years ago at ziggys in Winston Salem, NC.

[@squirlygeorge]

She actually does one of Skunk Anansie's tracks live with Luciano Pavarotti on his Pavarotti & Friends Tour I think. Her voice is really one of a kind. Also had such a crush on Skin growing up as a teenager 🤘

The original Evanescence! Her voice was always incredibly diverse and amazing. Loved that collab with Lajon from Sevendust too on the Home album

[@Lutfi.H.Abdullah]

why didnt' any body mentioned skunk anansie : you'll follow me down

[@aintnobody3000]

It is an amazing song - also one of my fovrites is Tracy’s flaw

[@scottythegrudge]

Skin sings likr that on every song....so beautiful

[@The_Pony]

One of the big inspirations of the Siren herself (Floor Jansen) amoung others

[@noddynewbold]

Skunk actually managed to capture fans from different genres in the UK, not something that used to happen at all until the new millennium. Indie rockers & metalheads actually got Skunk as the headlining act @ the Glastonbury Festival, we didn't see that coming @ the time

[@MAHS777]

HERE A PLAYLIST FROM THIS BAND: kzbin.info/aero/PLhMk5fIxpM3ywnvxB0l4HpUVBbW2haiYy

[@senselessapologies]

I highly recommend a live version, esp from the late 90s... but they are still fucking awesome live these days!

[@paulworby-ryan2384]

Vin you have to do a full album reaction to Korn The Nothing. I've been a fan since the beginning too, my favorite album has always been Issues and flat out this is their best album since Issues if not surpassing it. I've not had an album on repeat of theirs or any band like this (new Slipknot and Tool included) for years... FULL ALBUM REACTION is a must! :-)

[@olehenningsen7960]

Paranoid and Sunburnt + post orgasme chill are great albums

[@EessaTube]

Not sure why so many youtubers are reacting to this song as a first listen to Skunk Anansie. Don't get me wrong, it is a great song, but there are better introductory songs - 'Weak', 'Weep', 'Rise Up'.

[@scubbasteve8418]

This song is from my favorite movie ‘Hollow Man’!🤘🏻

[@jasonsuter13]

Skin is the bomb.. 💥

[@peterm282]

[@sarakaster]

You may not know that but the essential week songs where suppossed to be bands they haven't done yet. So like 90% of your list is void.

[@peterm282]

@@sarakaster well my friend, I guess they broke that own rule.. I think about half the bands they did, theve done before. Aerosmith, Heart, Morbid Angel, are a few off the top of my head🤔

[@sarakaster]

@@peterm282 yeah you got me or better...them. But doesn't change the conditions of how the list came together in feb this year.

[@andrewbrorherton6898]

Essentials is all about opinion. Everyone has different taste in music. Not a bad song but I kind of felt the same way Vin did. Some of these songs didn't have that wow factor. Should be one more left for tonight and Im keeping my fingers crossed of who I think it might be.

[@seanshuping]

How old are you guys!? You look like my age 😎 can't believe 1) you haven't heard of skunk 2) Charlie Big potato is a freaking legendary power tune. Cool show, I shall watch more

[@Bullybompa]

You did listen to the Manson cover of Cry little sister, tho. Seems to be the exakt same subject. But instead of it resulting in love, it resulted in guilt/anger/regret/whatever.

[@MrsWishieWashy]

Skunk Anansie are incredible. Check out the song Denial by sevendust.. skin features in that track. Or secretly, thats not a rock song but if you like her voice this is a great way to go about it.

[@shed245]

Skin sang on the 7dust song "Licking Cream", not "Denial". But you're right ....awesome song!

[@chrisknight8734]

Architects- naysayer (metalcore) Rainbow- gates of Babylon (classic rock) Used to love Skunk Anansie back in the day 🖤

[@BoCore]

I think this lady would use that kind of "cookie monster", as you put it :D sound, if she could, but dont really think she can, based on the singing technique she seems to be using, and because of the nu metal genre style :) If your interested in some Jinjer songs, where Tatiana does not use that growl voice, i recommend: Bad Water, or Beggars Dance! Nice day to ya!

[@AreYouThereGodItsMePhil]

Cool where’s the TOOL reviews?

[@j800r_aswell]

Barely a minute in but someone clearly mislabelled them to you. They're rock/alt rock, but not really hard rock and certainly not Metal. Skin (vocals) has featured on two metal recordings (Licking Cream with Sevendust and Tony Iommi's 2000 solo album "Iommi" on the track Meat) but far from metal otherwise. In fact, this is probably the heaviest track they've ever done.

[@magnuscreed5739]

Long time listener, like u guys a lot. I had to finally comment please listen to selling Jesus again by This band. MUCH STRONGER SONG

[@hellsbunniestv584]

She's older than you! She's in her 50's! She just looks young!

[@juanpabloluengasrestrepo9152]

Straight line Stitch - Bar room brawl (african american female singer)

[@BurpleRX7]

They are still recording and skin is still a top notch vocalist, the band have a very political message and they put that message straight into your face. You should definitely check out there entire back catalogue it’s right up your street, especially songs like weak, on my hotel tv , and yes it’s fu**ing political, They were huge in the uk and Europe in the 90s has a bit of a break and then come back with 3 awesome albums that were a little calmer but still had a message. Oh and she is also a DJ

Bush were horrible, imo. I'm not trying to 'band shame' you, everyone has different taste when it comes to music. I just didnt care for Bush at all. And if we are speaking of 90s rock bands with a black singer, King's X is a much, much more important band, again imo.

[@sarakaster]

@@sopwithsnoopy8779 Bush was way more successfull than King's X in the US as well as in Europe. As for taste...is there anything outside the US you like?

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

I'm not talking Bush vs. King's X, I'm talking King's X vs. Skunk Anansie. No one's heard of Skunk Anansie here. King's X might not be known much by John Q. Public, but they are much more known than Skunk Anansie, and I know King's X are well thought of in at least England, in some circles. I like tons of bands outside the US. Most of my extensive CD collection are non-US bands. Opeth, Blind Guardian, Within Temptation, Threshold, Myrath, Serenity, Jorn, Sonata Arctica, Gotthard, Nightmare, Riverside, DGM, Persefone, Diabulus in Musica, etc etc.
