People, a cover CANT ruin a song it would ruin it if this would somehow become the original song replacing it. They obviously did this cover because they admire The Smashing Pumpkins. I love both bands, hating and fighting in a comment section is for immature children.
For one Amy is one of the most amazing singers out there. if someone's jumping up and down singing of course there voice isn't gonna be perfect no artists is, it just doesn't happen, you get tired and your voice strains more trying to keep up, and to be fairly honest I think Amy does pretty damn well, these arent easy sets to do especially with her kind of music, so again, I would honestly like to see any of you try and then come back and complain, until then, don't judge. As for her take on Zero, I love it, just like her take on Thoughtless and heart shaped box, she's one amazing woman
i like this version better the guitars and drums at the beginning are so much more heavier and personally i prefer this to the smashing pumpkins version. nevertheless, both bands are amazing
Andaba algo apagado pero la neta al poner este vídeo me volví a animar por qué está canción ya de por sí me encanta y la interpretación es genial de Amy Lee amo a esta mujer por qué aparte de talentosa me hizo volver a sonreír este día y tengo suerte de haberla visto en vivo
damn i love this song and i am very happy that evanescence covered it! i love amy's voice in this one.. and she is right, there needs to be more women in rock. i know that there is a lot right now but there needs to be more!!!!! :)
Ben didn't say they were a Christian band, in fact he was against it too. David Hodges wanted the band to be a Christian band, but Amy didn't so David left.
It's not bad, hell, I have trouble with the Pumpkins these days thanks to Billy Corgan's hanging out with Alex Jones, so I made sure to take a listen to this!
very good suggestion for those who say it sucks. i love this cover personally, there are just a bunch of douche bags in the world who are just jealous because they cant get on a stage in front of thousands of people and perform any better. I
You guys: it's a COVER!!!! Definition: a new rendition (performance or recording) of a previously recorded, commercially released song. Evanescence along with MANY other bands have covered from Smashing Pumpkins but it doesn't mean it's supposed to sound like them! The music is faster because they wanted it in a faster tempo. I like this tempo more so than the original but that's my opinion. All in all: It's a cover. You either hate it or you like it. As for me, I like this cover.
No band can cover a song and make it sound EXACTLY like the band that made the song. I like it when a band changes the tempo a bit and takes out a few things. That makes it a good cover in my opinion. I like this cover and it's one of my favorite covers by Evanescence.
jesus christ i think i got a migraine attempting to read and decipher the first half of that post... and i came across this when searching for "zero live"..put it on just to see if it could possibly be good, and then turned it off half about a minute later due to blood spontaneously spurting out of my ears
yeah, just like if any band covered an evanescence song, wed say evanescence is way better because no one has Amy's voice. But wed still respect them because they love evanescence as much as the rest of us... ok maybe that doesnt make sense...
I liked this, we mostly don't get to hear Amy Lee scream like that, it was a cool change for her, I think she did an alright job doing this song, better her than someone like lady gaga am I right?
Have you ever attempted a perfect SP cover? It's hard as hell, and probably close to impossible. Best to do the cover in your own style, add a little to it.
En mi opinión, ella lo hace mejor, sobre todo en este concierto, me encanta esta versión mucho mas que la original!!! Aunque obviamente la origina es muy buena :)
Just shut up people seriously they're just playing a song from one of their favorite bands there's nothing wrong with that. OBVIOUSLY they're not gonna try super hard to make it better than the original but they just do it for fun. C'mon, i bet a lot of us sang along to Zero or tried to play it on guitar or somthing. They're just expressing themselves, who CARES if it sucks (i thought it wasnt that bad). but WHO GIVES A SHIT.
Listen, for a chick covering a song like "Zero", this is fucking badass. Of course it isn't gonna match the original, most covers rarely due, but for Evanescence and Amy Lee, this is FUCKING AWESOME.
I completely agree. They tried to turn an already heavy song into this double bass pedal Metallicaesque song. It really didn't do it for me. This is supposed to be a sinister song...this cover didn't do justice to the song in the least bit. Sorry, but that's just how I feel being a Pumpkins fan.
