Vocal ANALYSIS of "Death by Rock And Roll" and Taylor Momsen's wickedly amazing vocals!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2022
- Musical salvation for Taylor Momsen created this fourth studio album single, and has become their de facto motto. The lyrics themselves are horrifically poignant, and yet the spin and exhubrance The Pretty Reckless puts on this song just give me such good vibes. I'm fortunate for our Patrons for showing me this band!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to The Pretty Reckless for the second time, performing "Death By Rock And Roll” live at iHeart Radio.

She's also teaching rock history with the lyrics
I really don't know why some people hate on The Pretty Reckless, they are amazing and Taylor Momsen has such a unique and wonderful voice. Her voice is like a smokey single malt whiskey.
They’re really incredible. I don’t get the hate either.
I like that "smokey single malt whiskey."
People hate on her because she’s everything they aren’t
@@unemployed23 They hate on her because they are The Grinch!
Like a Laphroaig as the fire starts roaring, burns a bit on the way down as you load up your gear and get ready for what is to come.
On my tombstone when I go just put death by rock and roll.
I love how Taylor brought the blues back into rock and roll. For so long blues was the foundation of rock n roll and Lizzy hale and Taylor Momsen are bringing it back and it's amazing
There's a band from Sweden named Blues Pills, their vocalist is Erin Larsson who also has a beautiful voice. This band is all about 70's vibes. I don't know if you already know them, but they are a great band! And I cannot agree more with you about the influence that Taylor Momsen and Lizzy Hale has bring back to music, tho i add Erin Larsson to this list too
add Samantha Fish to that list. imo
I'm gonna say it again, Taylor Momsen and Lzzy Hale are pure rock n roll energy!
They sure are!
...imo Beth Hart too ...
I wanna see them together.
And Dorothy
@@mrhammersfan One of the most underrated vocalists ever.
Without a doubt, this woman was one of the best things that happened to the rock movement in the 2000s. Her band came into being when the rock n roll movement was already 8 feet deep into the mainstream, Momsen could have chosen to make any other kind of music, but she rescues classic, old school rock n roll in her songs.
A powerful voice, deep lyrics and good heavy guitar riffs, may Pretty Reckless succumb to rock again.
Momsen is a iconic.
Lyric wise it's pretty unoriginal. The riffs are pretty bad too.
It's literally a mainstream rock band like every other.
@@alexandrebelair4360 To start with mainstream rock band = there is no such thing as mainstream and rock on the same level, rock music hasn't been in the mainstream for years, go look at the Billboard top 20 list of the last 10 years.
Another question, TPR has an artistic vein very much rooted in the blues, what rock band is doing a sound similar to this?
ua-cam.com/video/JNo0Kx3DW44/v-deo.html
It is one thing if you don't identify with the music, that doesn't make it bad. Taylor is sensational and this is undeniable.
@@vitorkaique5782 What? Mainstream exist lol, it's the mainstream. Rock has been mainstream for decades now lol. Sure it's not on the top of the mountain right now but it's still mainstream.
@@alexandrebelair4360 You’re way cooler than all of us. We get it.
@@alexandrebelair4360 Name 1 band that sounds the same .
The lyrics are dark, yes. But you have to understand that reflects the long depression she went through, and survived. The album has that dichotomy, dark versus light but there's more light because Taylor is indeed a survivor. Great reaction!
You mention Lzzy Hale a few times: the two of them did a killer cover of Queen's _We Will Rock You_ with Maria Brink of In This Moment (another band to check out) awhile back. Dunno if it has a video though...
They did a queen cover!! Checking this out!! Also agree, hope Elizabeth does check out some of In This Moment. I'm a sucker for Big Bad Wolf.

@@northof4912 that's an unofficial fan video...
@@The2econd3vil3xes Sorry, missed that qualification in your comment..... it's based on the official video which has no images, so she just added the singers and gave credit. But here is the official video, fill yer boots! It's really exciting stuff for a reaction.... ua-cam.com/video/4ivF-cdqxjQ/v-deo.html
Maria's band's song Fighter is unbelievable
It always makes me smile to see "whatever became of Cindy-Lou Who"...
Yeah right. Little Cindy Lou Who. From the Grinch. With Jim Carrey. It's absolutely amazing.
All the comments I read and I FINALLY found one that mentions her in grinch lol
@@Syko_Gaming5150 Seek and ye shall find!
😂😉
I love her low range, it sounds so breathy and smooth with just a whisper of the grit she uses so well in her higher range.
The entire 25 album is amazing. Just pure rock and roll. Taylor sounds fantastic, and the rest of the band is equally impressive. There's some very solid guitar work in there, the whole album is just fire.
Taylor Momsen was sent to us when the gods of rock ‘n’ roll looked down at Earth and were disappointed. She was born to do this.
She is so underrated, she has an amazing bad ass voice!
She's a true vocal bad ass.
She's the best rock singer/ writer since Joplin,
Watch "Light me up" live at AM ring. I think she was only 17 years old. Sounded like she had 25 years singing experience.
Best in the biz in years!
Funny you said this. I was just thinking to myself that Lzzy Hale reminds me of Ann Wilson and Taylor Momsen's smokey sultry bluesiness and grit reminds me so much of Janis Joplin.
They play their first live show in over 4 years when their tour starts Apr 1. As you probably know, they were the opening band for Soundgarden in 2017 when Chris Cornell died. 11 months later they lost friend and producer, Kato Khandwala, to a motorcycle accident. When they were finally ready to get back to music, the world shut down.
You've done 2 songs of their latest record now. I recommend trying an older song next. Either their first single, Make Me Wanna Die (she was 17 when this was released), or their first #1 ,Heaven Knows (from second album)
I really didn't like their new music compared to older one. Not because it's bad or anything. It's just as tasteful and well made. I just didn't feel the same "essence" if you will. In fact, Who You Selling For I just have a couple of songs from that one, the rest is gone.
Make me wanna die is such a good song, I’ve been listening to that for years. One of the first rock songs I really liked 💜✌🏻
Sweet Things. Heaviest song they've made, and it's good.
@@LautaroQ2812 The newest album is a masterpiece compared to the older stuff
or absolution
Love The Pretty Reckless. Another great band in the same vein is Dorothy. You should check them out. Especially anything off Rock is Dead. The whole album is great!
There are a few TPR songs that remind me of Dorothy. Saw Dorothy open for Halestorm and they were amazing.
I love Rest In Peace by Dorothy!
@@sharonsmith582 - SO JEALOUS. I was suppose to see ‘em, with Rival Sons, also, in Idaho, though, my health wasn’t the greatest.
I bet it was such a great show.
I'm taking my 10 year old daughter to see Dorothy in May for her first concert. She's so excited!
Omg Dorothy, Big yessss !
Taylor Momsen is an amazing singer. Very underrated. She 's got an amazing energy and presence on stage.
The Pretty Reckless album that came out in 2021 made lockdown less depressing. the band is amazing and Taylor is an amazing vocalist. They keep getting better with every new album they release.
This thumbnail is hilarious. Been waiting for this one, such an amazing version of this song!
LOVE The Pretty Reckless. They don’t get enough credit on reaction channels or in general. They’re in the top 3 of rock bands today. 🤘🔥🔥🔥
Glad to see (and hear) another Pretty Reckless song. The acoustic version will be great for the vocal breakdown, however the full band rock version is my preferred poison!
Agreed to all of that ^
Agree, the "Studio/Radio" version is Kick Ass!
I am a metal guy... grew up in a bike family. In my thought. Going in on my bike is sometimes is my thought oh only control i have🤘🏴☠️🎸
Metal should be electric as Satan intended.
100 percent agree. I didn't even think of the acoustic version and was all preped for original xD
I have seen too many people experience "death by rock and roll" how is this topic avoided? Her voice is powerful. So is her message.
Good morning everyone and Elizabeth too!🎵🎤😎😷
We are lacking voices like this! Taylors voice is beyond amazing, it isnt just grit, or fry, or smoky. It is so dynamic it draws you into the song with your soul. Auditory pheremones, which produce exactly the emotion she chooses for you. Her voice IS the hook, storytellers tell a story, Taylor blesses you with an experience!
I've loved TPR ever since their first single. Taylor's voice is just stunning. She might not have the operatic high notes of some of the other singers on the channel, but the sultry (and often sensual) tone she has is amazing. You really should check out their very first song "Make Me Wanna Die" - it's another catchy one and when you hear it (studio version) it is hard to believe the singer is only 16 years old! (She was 16 for pretty much the whole recording of the first album I believe).
Also interesting the you should keep referenceing Lzzy Hale as she and Tay;or are really good friends - apparently they met up online for 'virtual cocktail hour' a couple of times per week during lockdown!
Her voice gives me tingles every time I hear her. Love the collab she did with Soundgarden on the new album too.
Yay! I love The Pretty Reckless. Another good one from them is "Only Love Can Save Me Now." Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron from Soundgarden both play on it.
... And I'm gonna mention Mark Lanegan again.
I second Mark Lanegan again 😀
I also second Mark Lanegan again.
it's an older song but i would like to see Elizabeth's take on the song "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles.
Where did you go and remembered this? (That's a greek expression of speach) Love this song! I vote too for a reaction! 👍
@@symphonyx13_6 It reminded me of the same thing. Drive blues at it best, especially with an acoustic sound. And WHAT an acoustic guitar sound. Even has a contemporary old blues sound. Think Muddy Waters.
Totally agrre! I once saw her live in Hamburg. She's amazing!
LOL, I just repeat played that 3 or 4 times yesterday in the car. I LOVE her voice, that song, and that bass line is so slinky-dirty-kick-ass.
@@symphonyx13_6 the song has just been bouncing around in my head off and on for several days, and i realized that the vocals might be fun for this channel.
The first time I heard this song (the studio recording) upon its release, I was playing guitar at the time; so I played along. I rocked so hard, my headphones flew off my head haha
With Tatiana now a refugee in the US and the rest of the band organizing aid and fighting in Kyiv, please react to "Home Back" (OMV). It shows what the band and their families are struggling through at this moment. 💙💛🌻
Love the amount of attitude in her voice. Goes perfectly with the guitar. Would be great to her Elizabeth's reaction to Larkin Poe. Another example of a woman with a voice perfectly matched to the guitars.
That was fantastic! Really love the descriptions of voices that are raspy and smooth.
I love the excitement you show when reacting to these songs! I found your channel today in a cookies generated news feed and I am here to stay!
Great video/analysis as always. The Pretty Reckless have grown on me over the years, primarily due to the vocals
I absolutely find it delightful how excited you get by just listening to Taylor sing! I can feel your giddiness and delight at almost the exact same time as you do!! LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!
Cannot wait for this one, love Taylor and this song is great!
I love your enthusiasm, your face just lights up when you get excited about something and your videos are a joy to watch. It doesn't matter what TPR song you choose, Taylor Momsen's vocals are always amazing
Hi Elizabeth, Super glad you came back to them.
I really enjoyed it when you did 25 a while back &
This is another gem, Really enjoy Taylor's voice...
The acoustic guitar & Taylor's voice are a match made in heaven...
I've only watched the first little bit of this & lovin it already!
Thanks for doing this Elizabeth, Wishing the 3 of you all the best!
Cheers from Canada
Love the miminalism of the video it really lets me focus on the instrumentation and the vocals with being distracted by much else 🤩
I love the way you describe how sound changes as locations in the head/mouth move focus. I've taken your comments and have been experimenting more with my sound (total amateur here) and have discovered things about my voice I wasn't aware of. A ton of thanks to you!
WOW.... Love your take on this rendition.... it makes me look at the way I sing... and on this video i learnt so much...so thanks for that..
I will say your born with a voice.. and there isnt a lesson out there that can make you sing like this.
Your perceptions are wonderful to watch because although technical analysis...you recognise the passion that is required.
Good job.
Yay Elizabeth!!! I am so glad you picked this song finally. I knew you would love it and have such a blast analyzing it. Taylor totally brings it in this song and her vocals are pure genius. Thank you!!!!
I love when Elizabeth is able to voice the love that I have for a particular singer. For Pretty Reckless is one of those such groups that I can so listen to. in a genre of music that I do not normally listen to.
Only 1.24 into this video and love the giddyness you display. Love your reaction videos.
such a good analysis, yes, she has a fantastic voice. Love your awareness toward the physicality of performance too - how she relaxes and then engages her core for some notes
You have such a beautiful soul.....your enthusiasm and playful love of the craft is just wonderful.
Another band i never heard before. I listened to the studio version yesterday and loved it. Same goes for this version and your analysis of it. Thank you Elizabeth! 🙂
Very happy to see you reviewing TPR again, they are my favourite band. Taylor has an amazing voice.
This time we both got to experience the song for the 1st time. I had never listened to them before but will have to check them out after hearing this. It was a great song and experiencing it together with you was fun. Keep up the good work for all of us.
Can we get Elizabeth to check out another song bird? Linda Ronstadt went from pop/rock to light opera. An incredible vocalist. Can we get some thumbs up?
When she teamed up with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, absolute master class.
country, new wave, standards/big band and mariachi/ranchera
I'm grateful for people pointing me to this reaction! I didn't know that E had done a react, I've been asking for one for months! ❤
I've loved Taylor Momsen since I discovered her a few years ago. Your analysis of her talent makes me love her more. Well done!
Really looking forward to this one. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it.
Thanx for my first time listening to this song and it was a real pleassure. I really love your variety of reviews. That's really sonething which make it extraordinary enjoyable to follow your reviews.
Her voice gives me chills,and I love it!💖💖💖🤘🤘🤘
So glad you did another reaction to this awesome band.
This song hits me all over every time I hear it, so i can't stop smiling at your excitement throughout it 😁
I love how much of a music dork you are like me. It’s honest and real, and you can see the celebration of the craft on your face, not a need to impress us with your talent or ego. Since finding you a couple of weeks ago, I have not seen one video where you have tried to elude that you are gods gift to singing, unlike some channels.
I believe she didn’t get the musical or main stream recognition, because she was so overtly sexual with everything in the begging, and not letting the music and her voice be the platform. Don’t forget she was actually Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Lol.. That’s definitely Yin/Yang.
Couldn't agree more. Love watching reaction videos by trained vocalists but all to often they try to put their own spin on it and feel the need to sing along or correct them. You, on the other hand are truly just reacting and genuinely enjoying the performance,
So good I love that you got to do this version. Taylor is top notch awesome
Pretty Reckless is awesome and I love that Taylor Mumsen went into rock/metal instead of being another pop star which she absolutely could have with her voice. Elizabeth I would love to hear your analysis on another current great rock/metal group and that would be Ghost! Papa's(Tobias Forge but he plays a character named Papa Emeritus) voice is great and he has great range plus they have a cool vibe and gimmick going on as well. They have a new album coming out this week so I think it would be cool for you to hear an old track by them such as Cirice, He is, or Dance Macabre which are good songs to showcase Papa's voice.
Or hell, just do "Call Me Little Sunshine"
Loved Tayler since for so long now. Such a beautiful blend of styles that isn’t heard very often.
Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this song, and I loved the performance. This acoustic version was wonderful, and Taylor's vocals were amazing. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
Thank you Kirby! Your support is really heartwarming! ❤️
Hello. My first time posting a comment here. I love Taylor's voice and her whole band. They create very original music. If You want truly experience full power of her voice check out "Make Me Wanna Die" acoustic performance on Figaro Live Musique. This song is giving me chills every time I listen to it. Hope You will enjoy more of the great music The Pretty Reckless have to offer.
I'd love to see you do a react to Heaven Knows - The Pretty Reckless to get a real taste of them rocking without the acoustic guitar (though their acoustic songs are just as amazing)! It was the song that originally got me into them so I've got a big soft spot for it, and I'd argue it's in the top 3 or 5 of their most popular songs. If you aren't biting your lip by the end to stop yourself from singing along I'd eat my boot 😂
That was their first song for me too. I love that song.
I hope Taylor sees this video! your enthusiasm is so wonderful
Awesome breakdown as usual! Please, please, please continue to react to The Pretty Reckless. My favorite song of theirs is Make Me Wanna Die. It would be fascinating for you to compare her vocals from then until now. I feel she has only grown better and stronger but the talent in her earlier vocals just jumps out.
You are just glowing!!!
I love The Pretty Reckless, not a single bad song in any album!! Thanks for this!
well you said you were gonna geek out on harsh vocals ... great start love your content please keep it up
I never get tired of your expressions hearing music. That audio/visual high... (Ear Candy/Eye Candy) Eargasm
Your giggly reactions when you get excited just totally make my day, so thank you for that! You should also know that now and for the rest of my life whenever I hear the word diphthong I will think of you! LOL
I love the audio quality of your reaction vids as I can hear them over the sound of my hair dryer
Hello Elizabeth!!! Fantastic review,as always.sultry is such a fantastic word to describe taylors voice.the pretty reckless are a fantastic band! I would love to see ☕ time with Taylor!!! Please take care and stay safe
I just love it when Liz gets all giggly during a song. It shows how much she's into it.
Got to see her in concert with Shinedown in May and she & the rest of the band were ON POINT. I was so excited to finally so TPR in person, and I have to say...this is one of my favorite songs. 🤘🏻
I was so glad Taylor didn’t join the “27 club’” in 2020 … am so looking forward to seeing The Pretty Reckless next time they make it to town …
This was brought up in the premiere's chat: Larkin Poe. They're an American blues/rock band, fronted by the Lovell sisters (Rebecca and Megan). Those two ladies have released a series of acoustic cover songs on UA-cam. For a while they were doing one a week, so there are a bunch. Great stuff. (They also have several records of original songs.)
Related to Edgar Allen Poe BTW. They are great on most of their songs...
They are fantastic!
I enjoy how Taylor tailors her voice for each song often unique timber for each one. Plus how rock n roll to give up the easy path of TV/ movies for uncertain life on the road.
Heh, u said "Taylor TAILORs...", great wordplay!
PLEASE BLOW THIS UP!!! I think you would LOVE 3 libras by a perfect circle
Love the thumbnail LOL. Taylor is phenomenal! You should check out the songs where her guitarist Ben joins in more -- his voice is very cool and pairs wonderfully with Taylor.
Their acoustic performance of "Sweet Things" at AXS Live, or "Cold Blooded" for THE SESSION are really awesome slow, sultry tunes.
But I'd even more interested for your perspective reaching farther back to 2011, when their band was still fairly new and Taylor was just 17. Their acoustic performance at Le Figaro Live in Paris was stunning. Her talent then was crazy and it's cool looking back to see how her technique has been refined.
I love your excitement. You are just like me when i hear a new song.. straight back to kid mode 🤣❤
She is my favorite live and acoustic vocalist
She has such an amazing voice!
Glad you got to this one. Taylor is amazing, and has been since she started.
As far as thumbnails go. This is your best. That laugh is great.
I love Taylor's voice. She has a great range and that smokeyness down low is awesome. She has such a versatile and interesting voice.
Another great video. A shame that I discovered this channel not earlier, but awesome that I even discovered it.
I would really love to see you doing a video of Earthside - Crater.
Greetings from Vienna
I like this. I don't knew this band befor. Thank you
This song has really tickld my fancy! Bold, dark and exotic! Great band too! Gotta check out more Taylor, and she has an AWESOME voice!
Simply an amazing talent. No doubt about it.
I love how if she doesn't hold her headphones down to her ears, her face and voice are going to send them flying! Taylor is amazing in many ways and is a legitimate Rock and Roll artist that should be respected as such! So many people hate but she and the Pretty Reckless are absolutely amazing! Great reaction video to an awesome song!!!!
I love her voice. It can be raspy, bluesy, sultry and dirty.
I have SO MUCH FUN watching your videos (classes, actually!)!
Thank you! These are really enjoyable classes. A lot of work for each video, glad you really like them! ❤️
I love her vocals The Wall Are Closing In is my personal favorite of theirs I love how Grungy it is, 25 and Take Me Down are awesome too, they've got a lot of great stuff, also I never knew she was an Actress before doing music, that's pretty cool.
such a kickass rocknroll band - such a great vibe all over
Love Taylor. I always get a chuckle picturing Cindy Lou Who belting it out under the bright lights!
A voice to always recongnize, once having heard her sing.
Have to watch her live!! She kills it
One of my favorite bands
Awesome as always!! May I suggest at some point a reaction to Cinderella/Tom Kiefer? He had was such a distinctive voice of the 80s, but also paid a price. A Tea Time interview (if he's up to it) to understand his journey, resilience and recovery would be super insightful.
I'm discovering fantastic songs and bands I didn't know existed, through your channel. This song immediately reminded me of Black Velvet by Alannah Myles--another song that is worthy of your review.
I already thought this was an awesome performance vocally, but you let me know how aware she is of her body and how she’s able to place her voice in different areas her her face. Truly talented. It’s probably instinctual.
