I saw her at an early 2000's Oz-fest , she came out by herself doing some poetry , and people that didn't know were like , this is cool , but then the curtain dropped and her band came in swinging and she let into one of her growls and I seen 15,000 people lean back at once and go whoa . Instant fan !
Saw these guys live back in 2015 for my birthday. I had just gotten knee surgery but I was determined to go see them. Went to the show on crutches and a knee splint. When she said “raise your fist in the air” when introducing this song, I raised my crutch. Her brother then came up to me after the show and told me that she said me raising my crutch was the most metal thing she’s ever seen ❤
O. T. E. P. fights for those who need her and she has always loved us more then we could ever love ourselves. Thank you tep!!! Year after year your fire and passion help millions world wide. Without you I would have been dead long ago. Your "art" gave me the tools within to keep fighting for my own life. Thank you!!!
I am 50 and protesting for my grand kids, my kids introduced me to this when it came out and over the last year this Rise rebel resist and smash the control machine have been keeping me sane We fight or we die !
@@panhandle99 Maybe you should ask yourself the question of why some on the lower end are willing to die. It isn't class issues. It's pride and honor. If you think it has to do with intelligence or money, you never understood the people you're claiming to defend. And ironically, they are the people who defend you.
2022- The establishment is cheering on Nuclear war with Russia, Those sick fuckers (top 10% who run everything) are damn determined to kill us off thinking they will be safe in their little bunkers.
Finally another woman who is not singing about love and romance for once...I have a hard time relating to most female singers, even metal singers for that matter because they are always singing about romance..Or that operatic shit that a lot of female metal singers do. Bleah. Give me Otep anyday.
Kay Mitchell There’s plenty of women that sing about other shit lmao.. punk and goth exist too. There’s females in black metal and death metal if you don’t want symphonic
State Prosecutor: "But your own words demand for DIRECT CONFRONTATION!" "That's right, we demand confrontation." "Isn't that a demand for violence?" "Well, you and I are now in confrontation, but I see no violence."
We really need to rise up as ONE NATION UNDER GOD!! Even if you don't believe in god, That's what this country was founded on! An we are fighting an enemy with deep founded religious belief's, and we are losing this war! We have a muslim loving president who is destroying this country by way of bankruptcy!! Only time will tell if this once great nation will ever recover. Only WE THE PEOPLE can save it tho.
I don’t know why the right is not appropriating this music did get a much stronger position if they did🖖🏼🙏🏻 When I first heard this stuff I was on the left but as I got older that’s changed but the music is just too good to ignore too powerful!
Otep was right. 10 years later the entire world is defying the tyrants and refusing to be silent like never before. I will always love Otep for planting that seed in my soul.
So typical that the majority of comments talking s*** are dudes. That's right-fear the angry, confident, independent woman bcuz she's got more balls than you do! She's got a badass voice-not a lame girly one & some guys just can't stand the idea of a woman being a more brutal metal singer than they can! She's so badass that I bet Courtney Love would hide from her! Hell yeah Otep! RocknRoll! \m/
and shes a lesbian too, i'm pretty sure i remember hearing that somewhere. but it's nice to see someone who's an awesome person, musically talented and gay, as a gay person myself it's amazing to see
Because every male who dislikes this song obviously dislikes it because shes "independent" Grow up a little would you? People can dislike a band for a dozen and one reasons. Trying to turn it into some retarded feministic statement.
I saw these at Ozzfest UK prob 13-14 years ago - I was about to leave the tent as I hate female vocalists generally but I ended up watching the whole set and buying their CD. Fab live.
A friend and I played this song for a school project once. We got kicked out of class and he got suspended. Our teacher secretly loved it, though, because he asked about it later that week.
Watching this on Election Day in America "Stand up Speak out"America it's time for the Government to fear it's people not the people fear it's Government.
freedom is what makes us. to each our own. doesn't matter who wins,Never matters who wins. The people decide. I'll take care of mine, yall take care of yall's. Stand up speak out and be able to back it up.....That's what we were founded on...never forget.
@@Ziggy_Layne Sorry pal, thats you lefty's that hide your faces ......just look at the geeks in all of the videos of people destroying cars , looting & burning .....all left wing hacks. Leftist also seem to attack anyone who wears a red baseball cap even if it ISN'T a MAGA hat. Bunch of triggered wimpy punks.
They dont know what they started! We outnumber them by millions and it will come to absolute WAR..... i pray that my kids will fight for their freedoms!!!!!
You do realize the effects are used in the same sense as adding reverb or delay or chorus to any other instrument right? She uses it to inhance that exact moment in the song, I doubt its to get a fake growl as in concert it still sounds pretty fucking brutal before the music even starts. BUT you know more then the vast amount of America and realize her whole goal was to make sure people thought she could growl....
Amazingly kickass song that speaks volumes, and shows all the blind exactly how the world is. Plus, on a completely unrelated note, I have NEVER seen Otep Shamaya look so beautiful. :-)
I love the little kid with the megaphone at the end. I like how it's telling the younger generation that they need to speak out when they're against something that the government is doing. How else are we going to change anything?
Its funny but does anyone even have a band who comments, if they do then respect. its music people. stop gettin all fucked n ur mind. if u dont like it then turn ur head lol.
Haha-I used to, I'm trying to get another band together, but it's hard to meet ppl who just want to rock out on original music! Most of them want to play covers and/or think they're rock stars-you know, the ego thing! This is the first time I've heard of OTEP & they are awesome! Someone suggested them to me on one of my comments about how lesbians rock! I would totally start a band with women musicians! There needs to be more! Is there anyone in SF, CA that plays drums or bass & want to start a band? I have a lot of songs written-I call my music trash rock(it's like "grunge" but worse bcuz I don't always follow the standard songwriting formula & it's a mix of rock, punk, & metal-hence trash rock!) I think ppl that knock them are just jealous that they can't rock as hard as she can! That typical macho male syndrome that says "women don't belong in rock" but what they don't add is "bcuz I have a small dick & I'm jealous/insecure at the mere thought that a woman can have more balls than I"! I wonder what that wingnut Freud would psychoanalyze it as? Anyways, I would totally rock out with her! Even if its just on drums-I'd still play! Or bass, but preferably guitar & vocals, a collaboration! Who am I kidding-she's out of my league & will never know I exist! RocknRoll!
Interesting maybe we could create music together In our own time as u know or don't know..they have a recording studio In guitar center I also gots musical talents can also ryhme/hip hop.
Man I want those brass knuckles! Awesome as hell! I have spent all day trying to think of people that have such deep lyrics like otep, but I can't think of anyone!

Amazing!!!❤
This makes me wet just imagining it. In my eyes, and in my pants.
Awww how pretty
That is the greatest story I ever heard..😂
with all the lyrics, you can tell she's a poet. and that what I love about her, the reason I love listening to their music.
She is the most AWESOME woman in metal....she writes all the songs herself.....Very smart and Angry woman.......I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!
I would be angry too. If my dad sexually abused me my whole life.

Man, I feel so OLD. I remember when this dropped 16 years ago and in my mind it is still bleeding edge new music.
"It's a rich man's war, but it's the poor that fight." That makes me think of Vietnam every time. Love this tune
That's literally every war.
Said first by Ozzy in War Pigs. At a time when you could easily get legally banned from everything.

Also here in Belgium
Actually, people are too damn loud these days and scream about issues they know nothing about.
Everyone knows that otep could see the future
Shammy Cat ...World War III has started already, in comment sections of the internet.
any chick that can throw metal down like that is badass in my book
Haven't heard arch enemy have you?

Headed to Pittsburgh to see them tommorw. Can’t fuckin wait
I LOVE HER!!! seen my first OTEP show a few months ago....my admiration grew, she is the real deal, busting these notes live is extraordinary!
The protests brought me here... it's just THAT kinda mood outside these days

Doing it until it ENDS
Only going to get worse from here... There's a BIG confrontation coming!!!

@@amystarnes5977 biding our time until the time is right....... It's time!
Who is still jamming this in 2023
Wow I decided to listen to this again when it turned exactly 10 years old. Still love!
Otep is amazing. this is the first song I ever heard by her, and for the past four years she has helped me a lot with her music.
I still remember all these lyrics and I've never been so proud 🖤
Love her and her music. She is who she is and isn't ashamed she is an inspirational artist and lesbian that gave girls like me someone to look up to.
Otep and this song were my subconscious inspo
Can't believe they fucking took this off of Spotify. Spotify is really starting to piss me off.
Fight the corrupt system!!

and shes a lesbian too, i'm pretty sure i remember hearing that somewhere. but it's nice to see someone who's an awesome person, musically talented and gay, as a gay person myself it's amazing to see
yes she a lesbian, i read it on Wiki ^^ she's powerfull when she performes on stage *o*
Otep is a beast I found her because of the show true blood and I think people do dis her because she's a lady.
Because every male who dislikes this song obviously dislikes it because shes "independent" Grow up a little would you?
People can dislike a band for a dozen and one reasons. Trying to turn it into some retarded feministic statement.
"... Who gives a FnUf if they die!?"
What happened to "original, unedited"? BOO!
It's funny how I come and go with Otep. Even if I stop listening for some time, when I come back I feel the same damn power!
I wonder if mudvayne is one of their inspirations. Definitely has a mudvayne sound.
true
Kinda reminds me of drowning pool a little too
