Was This Evanescence Song Really That Iconic?!

  • Did this song define a genre? A year? A decade in music, perhaps? Bring Me To Life by Evanescence is one of those era defining songs that proliferated our hearts, souls and radio stations. What is it about this song? Why is it good? Is it all down to Amy Lee? Allow me to relive this song once more, 20 years later (yes this makes many of us feel old now), but this time listening a bit more carefully to hear what's really going. Did YOU like this song at the time? Is it impossible to hate it? Tell me.

    As I remember, the record company insisted on the rapping - it wasn't something Amy & the band wanted - it was forced on them. I believe that Amy has performed the song without the rap part.

      @ghost mall I actually think the opposite. I don't think she would have a career without that song and it's been nearly 20 years. Could the call and answer vocals have been done by another women ? Sure. But then you run the risk of going into the death metal female singers which wouldn't work at all. It needed that male vocal to contrast her voice.

      @ghost mall I get you dude but honestly, I am not a massive fan of this band or rather the Amy band so I read about her here and there. I bought the debut based on this song alone but I did a lot of that back then. Hundreds of albums based on one song I heard on the music channels of the day.
      Anyone remember "The Rasmus"
      'I've been watching, I've been waiting"
      Catchy shit.
      Everything is hindsight and I honestly don't think, taking out his vocal or any other male vocal would make the song better or actually successful which was kind of my point. This isn't really about if the song can stand on it's own without the male vocal. We unfortunately can't un hear that now. It's drilled in to our mind that this is how the song sounds even if there are other versions.
      When the somewhat metal guitars kick in, the male vocal is needed in the song to contrast her almost operatic vocals.
      Yeah you could have thrown away the rap stuff but that was the time. However, the guys call and answer vocal is really a staple of the song.
      Here's a fun story for you. Based on this song I even went out and got the male singers first album. The band was called 12 Stones, just had to look it up. The first song was called 'Broken'. It was ok but then you realise it was just that generic sound of the day and strangely his vocal is almost mediocre on these songs.
      Oh, all hail to Finch and Trapt from that era. Terrible stuff (not Finch, they were alright).
      Trapt not so much.

      @DiegoDeschain Рік тому

      @@carpediemearth You have yourself to blame for looking for the wrong things in that album then. Fallen is an album that is supposed to be enjoyed for what it is, a melodic, and hook-driven rock album with good pop sensibilities. The edge is barely there, more on the band's image than anywhere else, you're not supposed to be looking for amazing guitar work on Fallen of all albums. I enjoy Fallen the same way I enjoy an Avril Lavigne album or Linkin Park album, it's just fun pop. If I want to "get serious" I'll go listen to Terminal Redux by Vektor, Hand. Cannot. Erase. by Steven Wilson, any Opeth classic, Haken, DT, Symphony X, there I'll rightfully expect - and succeed - to find god tier guitar work.

    • @carpediemearth
      @carpediemearth Рік тому

      @@DiegoDeschain I'm not looking for expert solos or even solos, Fallen doesn't even rank on a basic listenable level for guitar; that guitarist's "riffs" are far below basic, frequently repetitive throughout the album that it almost feels like you're listening to the same songs multiple times if it weren't for the singer's vocal melodies and non-guitar melodies. It's essentially the same guitar play throughout 99% of the album just with a few effects. The guitar on that album might as well have been replaced by synths and probably sounded better cause there was no effort or imagination whatsoever in the guitar writing/playing. I read that the engineer even had to loan the guitarist his guitar gear.
      I wouldn't call Fallen a gem from start to finish. The only thing listenable in it are Amy Lee's voice and melodies; the guitar sucks 99% of it and the session drums are subpar at best; I can't even comment on bass as I don't remember even registering it. Fallen is also way overproduced. It's unfortunate because many of the songs are fundamentally solid but monotonized and stripped of musicality and dynamics because of the sorry excuse for a guitarist. He should've put his ego aside and let others who know about music and are creative take the reigns.
      You're way off, the genre doesn't matter. The fact that the guitar, which is supposed to "support" most of the album, is extremely basic and repetitive and does nothing remotely creative to support the songs is the problem. Some of the songs on Fallen have aged badly on the record precisely because of his crappy, mediocre guitar play that tried to imitate the basics of nu-metal/rap rock of the time as well. I remember an early interview saying that the guitarist was a big fan of rap rock of that era, so no surprise.

    Fun fact: according to Amy, the record label told them they needed a male rapper in the band in order to get a contract cause they wanted a female fronted version of Linkin Park or smth. They refused, but later on the label said they would sign them if they had a rapper feature the first single, and they agreed... so there was no rap part in the original version of the song, they added it by request.

      @Edward Elizabeth Hitler they have gotten way better since. So far they have been one of the best shows I've been to.

    • @fueledbypaintwater
      @fueledbypaintwater Рік тому +1

      @Edward Elizabeth Hitler if you haven't seen them since, then I definitely reccomend you do. Like I said, they are amazing now and definitely worth the money. I saw them when they were on tour with Halestorm last year and the two singers performed a cover of Linkin Park's "Heavy". I seriously think you should check it out. Several recordings were posted online.

      @Edward Elizabeth Hitler I don't think the output has been the same since Ben Moody left, he was a major driving force behind Fallen and penned a lot of the hits on that album (hence why his later band was called We Are the Fallen).

    Shared a Bandwagon with Paul McCoy and 12 Stones in 2012 when we were touring with Taproot and Smile Empty Soul. It's crazy to see this song still being played and talked about to this day.

    Justin, I find listening to your eloquent voice addictive and I come away from your videos with better pronunciation, clarity of thought and an even stronger English accent... Much better than my usual stuttering swollen coarse voice that sounds as bad as boiling pork smells. This of course means that you're better for my health and therefore can never stop doing this. Cheers 😉

    I’m sorry for repeating myself but I really want to know what you think to this song, To the Hellfire by Lorna Shore. They’re a death core band and the lead singers vocals are not human 😅

    Hello Justin Hawkins! With Muse’s new album Will of the People coming out in ten days, and remembering you saying you love Black Holes and Revelations, I’d love to hear you do a breakdown of that album because it’s one of my favourites too (I also love the artwork so much, it’s my laptop desktop picture!). Love the vampy look!

    I thought you were going to slag off my queen 😂glad that was not the case! I must have been about 9 or 10 when this song came out and I fell in love. It sounds so corny but this song genuinely changed my life, from that moment onwards I announced myself a goth, which went down great in school (not) but I look back with happy memories. Those were the days

    Paul McCoy on male vocals too. His band 12 Stones were massive at the time too, with both bands signed to Wind-up records.
    Also he was not known for rapping
