Otep "Smash The Control Machine" HD Music Video

[strunku]

I miss the old Otep...

[jumpsuitjesus]

bass player=fucking greatness

Otep=hotttttttttttttt

The band as a whole=The machines worst nightmare, a gay gal tatted up with a one of a kind voice.

[peanutest81]

Hey freedom of speech she is just speaking what she feels is right and some of it is the government is shady always hiding things that should be told like 2012 they know what is gonna happen if nething why is the poor not aloud to know how to survive and used as pawns!!! as far as military i have the up most respect for you!!!! you so keeep us safe

[mollyaroura]

This is not good. NO

[KimberlyAguiar]

She looks really beautiful in this video.

And this is one of my favorite songs  <3

[kargulhc]

they have lost the POWER

[REIREI29]

@kargulhc Who's lost the power? Otep? Watch Rise, Rbel, Resist.

[kargulhc]

@REIREI29 true...some of the songs r heavy...but still... something is missing, heavier riffs i think

[REIREI29]

@kargulhc Well, yeah, you are right. This song here doesn't even get "heavy" until 2:17.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good song. But, I felt Rise, Rebel, Resist should have been the promotional song off this album. Instead of calling the album Smash The Control Machine, it should have been called Rise, Rebel, Resist.

[axelkoster]

not worth talking about

[phillipcairo]

well ya shes a lesbian >..< or bi never know :P lol i love her! she has a sweet azz voice!

[jasonwill2]

isnt it really ironic the message of this song is so contrasted to the commercialism the uploader used? advertisements at the end and filling the description of the video?

[ImOteps1Fan]

fuckin amazing

[The22red22]

i agree but i must admit i prefer bass

[xkiller01x3pecx]

that's a fucking BAD ASS drum set in my opinion. Anyone else agree with me?

[audrinaINchains]

I named my cat Otep, but then my mom took it to the shelter cuz it kept pissing on stuff.

[KGBAnarchy]

@audrinaINchains id belive that

[xkiller01x3pecx]

@audrinaINchains that sucks man

[tomcornhole]

@audrinaINchains your mom is fucking evil

[raidoactivekitty]

@audrinaINchains thats why u get it nuadered...

[TheShadedmisery]

@audrinaINchains Holy shit my Ocelot is named Otep. It's a he but very fitting name for him.

[motorude]

@TheShadedmisery holyshit you have a Ocelot?

[TheShadedmisery]

@motorude Hell yeah it's a badass cat too. I think he is 50/50 really because he is not as big as a normal Ocelot but he certainly has Ocelot in him. He has the same markings and is much bigger than a domestic cat. I raised him from a baby because he was abandoned so he is very tame.

[squarefan1]

@TheShadedmisery Ocelot!?

[TheShadedmisery]

@squarefan1 It's a form of wild cat. 

[squarefan1]

@TheShadedmisery I was making a MGS reference.

[TheShadedmisery]

@squarefan1 Call me stupid but what is MGS? LOL

[squarefan1]

@TheShadedmisery You're stupid. Haha, j.k. Metal Gear Solid. He is one of the antagonists.

[xXlOvEsHaDoWXx]

@darkone1176

you may believe government and military is not behind the corruption of today's society. Overall the military is one of the major consumers of todays technological advances along with government being one of the biggest corrupted group of people to ever exist. Yes our generation buys into the machine but only because since we were little we have been pushed towards the direction of it. No one can say that they have not had their personal affair with the machine.

[46Imthebest]

fuck the government and their bullshit laws

[ImOteps1Fan]

amazing



[NenX11]

Why is she a lesbian...she is beautiful....she could have a hot guy

[Neisza]

@NenX11 Why if she can have hot girl instead?

[NenX11]

@Neisza That hot girl doesn't have penis..xD

[Neisza]

@NenX11 Indeed, and that's just one of many advantages.

[Magical725]

@NenX11 Excuse me? Being a lesbian does not mean you're settling for anything. She COULD have a hot guy, but she doesn't WANT one because she digs gals. That's not a bad thing. Also, are you implying lesbians are ugly and are only lesbians because they can't get a man? If so, fuck you, man.

[PipeClayRut]

And I am sure they have a very firm grip on politics. I guess they ran out of ideas. Sad because their first two albums are great. But this hippy shit is getting annoying.

[PipeClayRut]

They probably voted for Obama.

[crystalys420]

there should be a fuckin "LOVE IT!" button..... so true sooooo fuckin' true!

[TiKondaRoga]

Good Song and band but I'm honestly getting tired of all the gay hippy shit...

[SoulRipper66]

@TiKondaRoga its not gay hippy shit its the truth but sadly no 1 gives a fuck about it these days or wanna hear it

[Edgeofthedarkness]

I work for minimum wage and can't have a moment of rest or comfort because of it. Suddenly, I have to urge to start burning and looting.

[kibandazinhu]

A Friend told me today about this band but i didnt think that it well be an awsome band and more:

WITH A SEXY VOCALIST !

GOD SHES BEAUTIFUL !

[twiggyssister2]

I'd stay a lesbian any day for Otep :P

[AcidW0rld]

I would be lesbian for a day, just for Otep.

[tony957474]

i could honestly see Otep starting an awesome revolution xD

[0nlyReaLGOth]

resistance is the game!!!! hehe one of my favorite ps3 games by the way.

[etzel33]

The revolution will be Monetized

[Caillouteletub123]

fucking BEST lyrics!

[asilaydying011]

Oh my fuck shes hot!!!!

[ImOteps1Fan]

fucking amazing!!!

[asilaydying011]

Fuck the system!!!

[trevoreriksmoen]

luv luv luv this song!

[momofrappachino]

@RascistLand he looks kinda like that blue guy with the big head in the monsters versus aliens movie XD

[sudachinohi]

I would marry her.

[Vlad333Danziger]

Nonconformity only works when we cooperate in our efforts to not cooperate- Ho Chi Minh.

[feastyoureyes18]

This is fucking awesome :)

[MeantToBe1518]

she's hot.. haha

[BigFudge97]

@MeantToBe1518 yesh

[MeantToBe1518]

i love this song and i love otep <3

[FortMetallica]

Last I knew hairstyles never really mattered, or judging a woman with power at least. I don't know, that's just me thinking, isn't important.

[ComboBreaker92]

i think im going to get a sex change just for her!

[Paajtor]

@ComboBreaker92 you might wanna ask her first, before you take that step :P

[TheWashedbyhisblood]

OH MY GOD ! I love her < 3 i love this song . ;D

[imajugglette4life]

love this song.

[Aractophragnus]

That music video was quite righteous, but I would've put more thought into it. Still righteous nonetheless, 

[InnSoMnIAa]

damn it

i love this song:D

[bigscaryllama]

ive had this song stuck in my head for days.

god, i love her. (:

lol :P

if i was half as talented as ^that woman right there^ id be happy. (;

<3

[sunshine10974]

I fukn Love Otep!!! Cant wait to see you rock the house at Peabody's on Monday June 21st!!!

[vampiro6913]

its sucks that she's a lesbian she's so hot

[jocorocket]

@vampiro6913 totally agree

[Girl666Gothic]

love this song :) awsome band

[wistaz1]

OBAMA!

[bedbunnyable]

I love Otep!!!! this is so freaking AWESOME!!!!!

[sugararual]

dude this chick is awesome,. shes so hott n i love her voice n her style,.

[Nachocheese113]

@sugararual she's a lesbian, FYI

[sugararual]

@Nachocheese113 haha,. good to know,.lol,.

[sugararual]

YAAAAAAAAAAAY,. great message,. i <3 it,. this is an AWESOME song,.

[imcgamer]

lol, this is so bad.... their older stuff was so much better. This is just like any other anti government shit that comes out.

[thatkisskilled666]

Fuck that Man, Its All good.

[DevinTuschhoff]

@imcgamer i can quite agree, but in comparison to other bands the development of otep is acceptable. if i think about SOAD or slipknot ..pffeeeehhhhh ^^ . i think otep at least tries to stick to their roots, but i must agree that aside of the lyrics the music is really strange....sounds so freindly ^^ well ok i have to shut up, didnt even listen to the album yet but duuuh gl & hf i suck

[zombieflee]

damn that girls got some fire and shes fucking hot i dont care what any one says

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@zombieflee im 90% sure shes a lesbian

[zombieflee]

damn that girls got some fire and she fucking hot

[hiphopper420w]

fuck the nwo smash the control machine

[allequalsnone]

I think they could've done so much more with this song. this album too actually. I don't feel her soul in these songs as i do in albums past. the fire's still there but it's like it's trapped inside or it's dying out or something. decent but not as heavy or mentally stimulating as i was hoping for.

[tixan]

@allequalsnone I feel it too, maybe too much party and too little time into lyrics writing :p

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

(2009) Destroy the War Machine warrior soul if you like this they should do a show together

[iwatchyouburn]

the sheeps should watch what the wolfs can do.

FUCK THE SYSTEM

[sevastraNOH8]

amazing.

[woodssupershop]

i like evil J! he rocks!

[aptspire]

404'd :P

[ShadowReaperAD]

weee someones having fun with a bat while singing. x)

[ACoupleObsessionsXD]

god shes fucking gorgeous. damn.

[UnderCoreAlexander]

she reminds me of flo from the progressive commercials, but with blonde hair.

[mandith]

oh my intellectual crush for otep. love her poetry so much!

[FurryWookiee]

Nothing better than a good FUCK YOU to the system!

[KonVay1]

@FurryWookiee How about a good nail bomb to the system?

And yes, I just wrote nail bomb, so a big hello to anyone at MI6 or the Feds who happens to screen this in the future!

[psychobomberninja]

I just think it's hilarious that Otep completely jumped on the Obama bandwagon, poked fun at everyone who didn't vote Obama when he won the election, and yet she's still singing about how much the government sucks. "They say the money's due, Caesar's onto you.....The Kingdon of Fear needs compliance to succeed." Or, "We've become a nation of wolves ruled by sheep, owned by swine, overfed and put to sleep." Or "Start a war, use the poor, watch our profits soar and soar." Just food for thought.

[Paajtor]

@psychobomberninja I think you're missing the point here...the real power isn't with the government, but with the military and big corporations

[poodleman78]

@Paajtor ......that is almost true....you're also forgetting one thing. The few BIG MONEY gurus that help fund all of the NWO's progress and training to herd us like sheep to corrals. And if we don't cooperate we will be eliminated.....or test subjects. JUST LIKE RESIDENT EVIL. :<

[Paajtor]

@poodleman78 sure, it's even more complicated than I posted before...but I didn't want to go off-topic to much.

[poodleman78]

@Paajtor Yea it is very complicated. I honestly don't think it's to off-topic....it's all connected....the fear tactics......the marking who will fight back and who will come quietly....the mind washing from the T.V. and media/aka/FCC....just like otep says in this song....and just like RATM.....WE hafta stop the control machine/freaks....and take this country back. By The People....For The People.

[SeburoX43]

@Paajtor The real power is with us, but we choose to do nothing.

[46Imthebest]

@SeburoX43 no we choose to do a billion different things

[darkone117]

@Paajtor I'm in the marine corps and honestly it's not the military that's the problem. It's the people. It's the Americans. When was the last time the people got what they wanted? When there was an uprising. Like in Libya. They'll get what they want son enough, So don't blame the government, military, or big corporations. YOU BUY INTO THE MACHINE!

[Paajtor]

@darkone117 I didn't say it were just the military, u know ;)

Also the big corporations.

And in the end, indeed it's all the people .

[hunyutheowner]

@darkone117 It's because no one has the balls to get up and scream in the faces of the Big boys. I'm 16 and I would so fucking do that, but i have nothing to want out of this pathetic excuse of a life. So why be the balls of people that wouldn't care anyhow there is no fun in that. Unless stuff was destroyed in the proces then hell yea. :D

[11clawedfrogs]

I think she is saying that whoever the president is, we the people, are being treated like cattle. She is an anarchist, and the people of the US just follow along like stupid ones who cannot think for our ourselves. We are passive about our culture, and no one can speak and tell the government about how much it sucks to be an American. Other countries think we aggressive and screwed up. They don't know we care and are not Satan. That's just how our government portrays us.

[theif519]

I just think it's hilarious that nobody cares but you.

[abraxaz777]

I luv Otep I luv their music..her art and stuff....and this video ended up being great, now...song is ok I guess I'm into Otep's more agressive pose!

[vampiro6913]

otep soooooooooooo hot

[mandith]

yes, and she likes woman, which makes her even hotter.

[hellwhole666]

@mandith hell yes

[DeathOfEvolution]

OTEP is FUCKING awesome anyone who says else is going to die a miserable death..... OTEP IS ORIGINAL not metal not RAP..... SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE!!!!!

[midnaXme]

work! buy! consume! die!

[kimpossiblekaylove]

[kimpossiblekaylove]

[drillpill]

[Fefefoth]

@drillpill yes the drummer was in Repo

[Daytonawinner]

first time heard this was when they annouced on tna impact this would be the theme tune for tna final resolution they showed it on imapct and im addicted to this song

[stefzeppelin]

I'm not a big believer in metal but I like this song (fantastic lyrics)

[bonerboyforlife]

the drummer looks like a vampire

[000punchline000]

the base is BEASTING on this song!!

[wewters]

She's DAM hot (L)

[shaquan9893]

does she like....rap in her songs?

it sounds like "rap" to me but with metal mix to it or maybe its just me.

[BiajoxAndThiboeGames]

Im a Happy Little Slave for Min. Wage :DD I'd Destroy a Family of Puppys to Prove myself to Her 0.0' Raped' >:}}

[benarrigobenarrigo]

i got my libre done because of her lol and my tongue from breaking benjamin :O

[invisableangel16]

Love her voice! It is amazing. This band is unbelievably awesome!

[T3hpwn3r3r89]

unfortunately ive heard from numerous people that her voice is modified in concert and in the studio. given how unnatural her voice sounds at times its probably true. but yeah when she growls it makes me hard XD

[botdf50]

I love this song & video

[mattattack154]

One of the best names for a song EVER

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

[T3hpwn3r3r89]

calm down bro its just a song ;)

[sawfan25]

lol the end of the video had the BSOD

[RIGAMORTIS502]

what did she say? it wont let me read her comment.

[blackskullgirl08]

there are no otehr songs in my opinion that are good, doesnt influence ur decisions so y u put -4 lol. i ove this song but personally all the others are not my type of music!!! nothin to get upseet about lol

[TheTaeKwonDoTube]

I seen this on TNA what a brilliant song! On a brilliant Wrestling company!

[blackskullgirl08]

what tkd club u at?? im at one in doncaster lol, scorpion tkd!!! u official BTCB tkd???

[blackskullgirl08]

[saKhanSteele]

Awesome!

First heard this a couple of weeks back on TNA Impact and liked it so much I decided to look it up here.

Funny - I've heard of Otep but this is quite different to the other songs of theirs I've heard.

BTW I agree - Ms Shamaya is gorgeous!

[wildchild8290]

she has a cute smile lol

[blackskullgirl08]

unfortunately this is the only good song from otep in my opinion

[Ghosttaker89]

Keep ass awesome keep it METAL!!!

[onlydarkness1990]

i miss the growling!

[MadMadamMarlin]

Love Otep!! Gotta get my grubby hands on their new album!!

[45dally]

what a rtard

though may i say i support the health care bil

and i luv her hair <3

[Jifcrunch79]

i LOVE this song, and her hair looks great :)

[Organjic]

HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY!

[forchrissake]

From what I read in her blogs, Otep is a socialist, possibly anarcho . . . but I think she is just confused.

If you hate the "machine," you should get into anarcho-capitalism or voluntarism.

She supports the health care bill that would FORCE all of us into a MACHINE of paying for healthcare we might not need.

Smash the control machine and be a true anti-government entity! We don't' need it!

[2kfm3]

The "machine" doesn't refer to a government, retard.

[SLACOJ]

omggg

;D

[Lol0930]

Fucking awesome!

[witchkingfire]

wow she makes me not want to buy shit but sooner or later ill have to buy some shit

[ZellD]

haha. I have the exact same feeling here mate :D

[cyngirl]

still lovin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shanel1975]

I'm totally digging this video. Very well done indeed. I love the colors and contrast and of course...wonderful lyrical flow.

[CrankItEveryDay]

This one one of the best music videos I've seen in a while, it's really well done.

[DustinY1990]

She is taking ADVANTAGE of the "control machine" aka the media, so she can send out her message. She is basically telling people not to be controlled by the media and to not believe everything they tell you because it's not always true. She isn't controlled by the media, she's taking advantage of it.

[1993mushroomhead]

Sunday the where here in new mexico i got autoghrphs and pics with the whole band

[hangopra]

haa i went to de pomona show XD

[moremetal4mike]

pisses me off they came to omaha last night and i couldnt fucking go

[vanecorp]

AMEN!!!

[XombieBoi]

I bloody LOVES it! XD

[bustsomecaps]

love tis song hatrd ftw.

[Waranoa]

Fuck! Why isn't she grunting!?

[DeadlyNight27]

I love you, Otep! <3 I listen to you when I'm feeling really angry and just need to let out all the frustration.

[KashimaProductons]

Speaking out against capitalism, with a watermark for your record label in the bottom, left hand corner. Irony.

[PsychoPath00000]

Holy shit you're stupid.  What about this song screams "anti-capitalism" to you? Ever hear of William S. Burroughs? Look it up.

Otep introduces this song live by saying, "In order to be free, we must first smash the control machines."

Yeah there's a lot of reference to government, ours specifically, but you should really think about what you're saying and do your research before going out onto the interwebs and using big words like "irony." You might hurt yourself.

[KashimaProductons]

XD. Nice. Big internetz tough guy, huh?

I was going on my first time hearing it, and never having listened to, or knwon about Otep, dude. Chill the fuck out.

SOMEONE IS WRONG. OH NOES.

I started looking shit up and realized I jumped to a conclusion after that, asshole. :I

Next time, don't be an ass and chew someone out before you know what the situation is. Correcting me politely would have been just as acceptable, assfuck.

[dvinb12345]

Next time, don't be a dumbass and say something before you know what the situation is. Correcting yourself right after that post makes it even less acceptable, assfuck. :l

[Waranoa]

Exactly, this is a load of shit, they're pathetic liars. It's like a vegetarian activist carrying a butchered chicken around his neck.

[blackandhollow]

dumbshit.... in order to speak out against the system, you have to use part of it. standing a street corner screaming rise, rebel resist, will get you stared at, and probably arrested.... think before you comment.

[ladyallein1]

Im stalking you! From Twiiter to Myspace & back, but you're fast!
