    Love you all. Thanks for all the love : )
    A little bit about me..
    Rebecca is a passionate Singer-Songwriter/Vocal coach/mentor /impressionist/photographer/creative junkie /self- development lover not a hater.
    “I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well, maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2016. However, despite not being able to walk for a few weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and try to practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…we are all specks of dust…Also, thank you for all your support. It means a lot. I have suffered from anxiety from the past and self-confidence, (yeah hard to see now right) didn’t think I was ‘good, or worthy enough’ but I feel I have a new lease of life, don’t really care as much and want to show you guys what I have! : ) You are all awesome and without you, there would be no channel.

    "it's so melodic." ... that's one of the reasons why some people are not really into metal band, but ended up listening to symphonic metal and liking it because of the balance between the melody of rock, the complexity of classical music and dark edge of gothic metal.

    You were not wrong in assuming Floor and Simone like each other. They have been friends for a long time and have a linked history, with Epica's founder Mark, having been in After Forever with Floor for over 5 years before starting Epica.
    Fun fact, Simone was pregnant during this concert and still busted out crystal clear notes.

      I don't think they two still like each other so well as they did. Well, Floor said some months ago that her relation with Simone was just "professional", nothing beyond that. They even unfollowed each other in instagram for a time. I don't know what happened between them but I don't think they are as friendly with each other as they were when Retrospect was recorded. Sad.

      ... and I hear tale that that was one of the first times in a long time that Tuomas had his in ear monitors on during the song, (which explains why Marco and Emppu gathered around him toward the end and Floor's vocal crack during "the ever free, tuck me in beneath the blue" ) , since apparently it's a very hard one for him to hear the vocals of since it's quite literally his way of committing suicide.

    Nice reaction video. Maybe you could also take a look at Simone Simons with an accoustic solo permance The song i would like you to take a look at is called "Feint". This clip is a showcase of her vocal abilities. During this song she was only supported by a piano, a base and 2 person female choir. One of the women (the blond one) in the choir was her vocal coach at her school. On several occasions you can see Simone making eye contact and the smile at the end of the song from the coach is the proud smile of a teacher. Simone was about 18 when this was recorded and she had just completed her vocal training. The band also had just released their debut album. The song itself is about a politcal assasination of a Dutch politician that had a real good shot at becomming our next PM at the time. He practically came out of nowhere and was not tied to any of the traditional parties.

    Epica Stabat Mater Dolorosa feat Floor Jansen LIVE
    anyone that say metal singers cant sing should check closer, hear the slower, calmer songs, and you will find that most of them are trained, and really can sing, they just choose to scream or growl for the effect, to send out the message in the song. many are about unjust things in society, hard lifes, abuse of all forms, protest against wars, etc.

    You should give some of the male vocalists within the genre(s) a go - "The Haunting" live by Kamelot with Simone is a wonderful performance, and if you're feeling a little friskier you should try "Demon of the Fall" by Opeth because Mikael Åkerfeldt is just one of the best, most talented artists of all time.
    Keep up the wonderful work!

    I love Epica so much. They are the best symphonic metal band out there. Best guitars and drums and orchestration. Along with one of the best vocalists in the genre. Simone Simons, Floor Jansen, Tarja Turunen, and Diane Van Giersbergen (who is also a vocal coach) make up some of the best in the genre as well.

    • @nathantripathy

  • @clairlestrange
    @clairlestrange 5 років тому +71

    Now you know two of the absolute goddesses of metal, it's time for number three. PLEASE do something by tarja. If you want floor in again, there's a version of 'over the hills and far away' that they perform together, but I really would suggest phantom of the opera live at end of an Era. It's one of the best and most beautiful while still by far the heaviest versions of this song I've ever heard...... So yeah. If you think floors and Simone's operatic vocals are good, tarja steps it up one level more (at least in my opinion, don't want to start a fight here)

    • @nimedhel09
      @nimedhel09 5 років тому +10

      You are right, Tarja has the best operatic technique, but it's also because she mostly uses that style and has studied it for a long while, whilst Simone and Floor did not (I know Floor said she studied belcanto for a year, and I'm not sure for Simone, but I think it's also around that time frame).
      All three of them are amazing in their own right, and have influenced symphonic metal quite heavily.

    The chemistry between Floor and Simone (lead singer of Epica) roots from the fact that Floor's old band, AfterForever (that was huge in Europe), toured with Epica often and collaborated together too. Glad your a big fan of power, symphonic, and melodic metal Rebecca, they are my favorite episodes of yours.
