New VOCALIST Reaction & Studio VS Live Analysis: The Emptiness Machine - LINKIN PARK

[Applause] [Music] they are breaking the  internet [Music] [Applause] [Music] here   it's good to see you [Applause] [Music] again Shar withing your favorite point of view I know you're waiting in the distance just  like you always do just like you always do   already pulling me in already under my  skin and I know exactly how this ends   I let you cut me open just to watch me  play gave up who I am for who you wanted so I really enjoyed his solo stuff and this is  cool wait for something else am I gave up who I   am but who you wanted me to be don't know why home  what I won't to see falling for the promise of let   sh emptiness [Music] sh going around like a revolver it's been decided how we lose cuz  there's a fire under the altar who is it   I keep on lying too I keep on lying too  already pull me in already under my skin   and I know exactly how this ends  let you cut me out oh she sounds awesome exactly how this stands  let you come me out just to   to G up who I am for who you  wanted me to be don't know why yeah oh she's got that high scene  gritty sound it fits perfectly with the music don't know why what I  said for the prois Y [Applause] is yes it's it's partially what we love  about Chester so much it's on the verge   of total self-destruction her voice but she  maintains right like it sounds like it hurts   but it doesn't it's being done healthily and  and oh what a perfect match wanted to be part   of something I only wanted to be part of part of I  only wanted to be part of something I only wanted   to be part of part of I only wanted to be part of  something I only wanted to be B let you call me   just to watch me play up who I am for  who you wanted me to don't know why   so [ __ ] I am falling for the  pro yess sh ESS I only want to be I only want to be part okay so because and this is why a female  singer doing this kind of thing and you   know filling in for a higher male vocalist  okay females because of the the way their   voices are designed they can get that grit  and not use as high of a constriction like   Chester has this this you know fry  scream High sort of constriction   she can use a broader constriction get get more  um like torturous sounding grit there's there's   more to it and because of the vocal disposition  because of the the natural tone of her voice it   still fills that space so well whereas a a male  doing her exact technique right now would be too   thick too meaty it's it's really a cool Sound  by the way I just looked up uh on the internet   off screen just a second ago to see if they were  naming who the singer was I'm going to look again   because this I happen to be watching during the  premiere just real quick hold on well I don't see   a name in the flurrying chat so I'm just going  to keep [Music] going ladies and gentlemen that   is Emily Armstrong Make some noise right as I  Emily Armstrong okay right as I pause and look   Emily Armstrong nice to hear you ladies and  gentlemen that is Emily Armstrong Make Some Noise [Music] [Applause] [Music] wow  oh this is going to be cool sounding here's the thing nobody's going to replace  Chester and there are lots of you know well   one of the guys that I just worked with on  my channel I don't know that anybody you   know replicates Chester's tone like I've heard  Andy sizzik do but putting someone in who sounds   like Chester I don't think is the right move  I think you need someone to bring their own   energy and that's done much more cleanly by  a female vocalist because there's going to   be less comparisons drawn well you know like this  this male vocalist doesn't do it like Chester did   but you know there like I feel like someone who  sounds sort of like Chester is already doomed to   fail no matter how good their voice is stepping  into this role a female where they might deal   with some of that just because nobody can replace  Chester I think a female has a better chance of   of stepping into that role with less expectations  to fill exactly what Chester did and I know that's   not what anybody really wants nobody can replace  yeah I think you see what I'm saying coming fresh   off of just watching the entire Live premiere  where they introduced Emily they opened with   the emptiness machine I've only heard it live  and what you're going to see in a minute is   me me hearing it now for the first time as the  studio recording and really really cool to now   to wrap my head around her as a vocalist  having heard both the live and the [Music] studio your blades are sharpen with Precision flashing your favor point of  view this is going to be fun to hear um   having having heard it live I know in the distance   just like you always do just like you always do  already pulling me in already under my skin and   I know exactly how this ends I let you cut me  open just to watch me blade gave up who I am   for who you wanted yeah they had me fooled in the  live version that's cool that was her vacuuming right wanted me to be don't know why I'm hoping   for what I won't receive falling  for the promise of The Emptiness machine I keep on lying to already  pulling me in already under my skin   and I know exactly how this SS I let  you cut me open just to watch me oh   she sounds so great it's fun to hear the  whole produced track I hadn't heard it yet sa falling for the promise of The Emptiness machine so just a wonderful Edge to her voice  and the production around it with the doubling   and everything she's got that nice high Sheen it's  I'm not going to say well she has those qualities   that make her voice work so sort of like Chester  but it's so different at the same time there's   that nice [ __ ] high-end Distortion that we  love about Chester but with a a thicker broader   disposition that can only come from having  a female vocalist fill this role I [Music] think I also love that I got to hear this  first live and was sort of like taken a and   not not really like processing like oh yeah  brand new Song Blink and Parks new vocalist   like keep wanted to be part of something I only  wanted to be let you C me open just to watch me   play gave up I am for who you wanted me to be  don't know why I'm so [ __ ] I I love her her   longer disposition she does a good job of of  being bright and present but then also being   H where she needs to be and how she forms the  vowels at the at the bottom of those phrases   pitch-wise like I said there's a thickness and  an aggression there that is really helping her   voice a adapt or not really adapt but just fit  into this it's a really good fit really [Music] good that sigh [Music] yeah like I said having come  fresh off watching the entire   Live premiere and then to  see you know to have this redirected there's a lot of thoughts that I had  going through my mind as she's performing all   Lincoln Park songs um and maybe you'll see  those thoughts here in a little bit or hear   those thoughts having a female vocalist step  into this role and someone who can do what she   does aggressive vocals um her own unique tone  that that does nod to Chester in lots of ways   it's pretty genius to put another male vocalist  in in place it wouldn't work there are guys out   there and i' I had one in my studio Andy szak  from monuments I mean he can sing these songs   he can sing these Chester songs but it's time  for a new era A New Perspective a new wave of   creativity and to just get someone in there  who could who could do some of what Chester   did that was it was a male it it would have  been too much pressure on that person and and   that person would never be if if we're trying  to go for for Chester we can't go for Chester   we have to go a New Direction and that's why  this is so awesome it's so awesome because it's   a new direction that in my mind perfectly  perfectly um nods to who Chester was as a   vocalist and what he did and what made these  songs so special um but suggesting so many   other possibilities and you hear a little  bit of that with this song for sure but I   heard a ton of that watching the whole Live  premiere so I hope you guys get a chance to   check that out as well if you're interested  in singing and becoming more intimate with   your own voice and creative possibilities  with it click the link below in the video   description and join my free voice course and uh  be sure to check out a lot of the other videos   I've done analyzing Chester's voice I'm going to  be analyzing a lot more of Emily welcome Emily
