[cheddarepic]

[alexkidd191]

This is the Bryan I miss.

[AreYouTheNothing]

maybe she is lesbian

but she is SMART lesbian

[the2009guy]

@ArtEqualsFilm Ike! I also love ''We Dream Like Lions'' When i wanna relax i sometimes play it, but my favorite soft song of Otep's (not as if there's lots of it in Otep's music) is ''Ur a Wmn Now'', really really love it.

[lua117]

And NOW I will make a conscious effort not to call things "gay" anymore.

[itsjustdezzi]

I really look up to Otep Shamaya, she's amazing!

[IzzyLikesMusic]

i wish i was amazing as her!!

[iesaee]

Whoa.. did you say Sokol?

[ThisAccountIsFknHxC]

Because of Otep, my new insult is going to be "testicle" xD

[achfearamhain]

Well last time i checked, vaginas are pretty strong, their pretty sturdy, their pretty flexable, they shove out babies  Classic

[aceshigh23650]

She's so cool. I disagree with her on a lot of stuff but she made some great points. She's not overly aggressive about shit.

[GingiGreatG]

her lecture on vaginas 

[crashbandicootgamer]

mudvayne slippknot korn and coal chamber had a kid

[jonrskitlez]

She's fucking awesome.

[legslikelightning]

[LissaNotLisa]

[GothicPaganGirl]

Is Otep 'Gay'? I dont mean it in a bad way! Like is she a Lesbian? If so cool :D

[igloo50]

@GothicPaganGirl yes, she is ;D

[poetsonthestorm92]

@GothicPaganGirl yepz she's a lesbian :)

[GothicPaganGirl]

@poetsonthestorm92

[GothicPaganGirl]

@poetsonthestorm92

[zoneout23]

I admire her character. She's a very strong individual.

[Howie5561]

the guy who rafted across the crowed is a legend

[gasly678]

lol i remember me and my ex gf at a otep show me and her made out a lot and then started to get more heated as Otep said haha, their music is so sensual at times lol saw other ladies dancing to it as well, good times ;)

[EMABand1]

she's very simple-minded. I love her. she's so real.

[Oneeyedwillie100]

God, she is soo hot, it sucks that she's a dike. Oh well, her voice and lyrics are still good; better than most female ones-- straight ones too!

[skoneintex]

Shes So freeeeeeking intelligent and shes just marvelous

<3 Otep Shamaya

[bond146]

[ftjasonknox]

[PerpetuallyLost316]

Otep is awesome - so inspiring. I loved at the end with Zacky walking away XD

[yoe91]

ooohhhhh boy....ok.

[MicksGirl18]

damn that's my future lady!!!!

[angelicsorrow420]

Absolutely GREAT interview! This woman is incredible, and the questions you asked her, AND her responses definitely reflect that. I have yet to watch your other interviews, however, I plan on watching them soon enough! Thanks for the awesome video! YOU ROCK! :P

[BryanStars]

@angelicsorrow420 Wow thank you so much :)

[repodepotrocks]

i didnt know ms. Otep was a lesabian but she still sexy!!! Im a dude who loves listening to hardcore metal and some gangsta rap music!!!! still got much luv 4 Otep.

[SadoKaden]

Wow, didn't know she was lesbian... Not surprised at all. Woulda' came to that conclusion eventually without being told.

[wlchambers]

she is cool as hell

[bledtildeth]

she hits the pookie pipe...thats why she figits alot...hella smart and sexy as fuck tho!

[wlchambers]

@bledtildeth wtf a pookie pipe?

[MuaddibDune]

I have sex listening to otep, and it really makes my day

[Dimi000]

juxtaposition...

[buzzardkiller92]

Awh man, damn. She's a lesbian. Still hot to me. I don't give a fuck. :)

[wlchambers]

@buzzardkiller92 hell yeah, i'd still like to be in the middle of that lesbian sammich though.....

[buzzardkiller92]

@wlchambers Right on. :)

[xDroflmao1337]

ummm, how the hell did you get back there to do these interviews? I mean, your not exactly a reputable news source? Anyway, really cool interview I enjoyed it and i love what she had to say.

[Darksunshinerain87]

This woman is awesome!!!

[Deadcrows1981]

I love Shamaya. I will bleed for her!

[wlchambers]

@Deadcrows1981 you will bleed for her? so if she said.... deacrows1981, come forth and provide me with a pint of your blood..... you would do so?

[jackasstothemax45]

Wow Bryan.. Great interview!

I'm recently getting into Otep and I just love this woman.

Is it hard doing these interviews or do you ever get nervous at all?

[BryanStars]

@jackasstothemax45 I've done so many at this point that I don't really get nervous. It is really cool though. Anyway thanks for watching and glad you liked it =)

[inflamezz7]

otep is nice music but shit what a GAY interview

[267546Assassin]

@inflamezz7 really dude?

[Deadcrows1981]

@inflamezz7 interview(er)...

[MegaMusicity]

@inflamezz7 thats really lame of u to use that word man.

[murderousbastard83]

You seem pretty down to earth brother. I appreciate that you respond to comments on your youtube vids. Great job by the way. If MTV wasn't full of guido idiots in reality tv they should have had you on thier team.

[BryanStars]

@murderousbastard83 Awww thank you =) Well maybe someday I'll get my shot on a site like MTV haha

[MrTasos76]

A LESBIAN !!??? HOW STRANGE? I GUESS SHE HATES MEN,TOO. THE INTERVIEWER ALTHOUGH MUST BE A LOT OF MAN...THEY COULD TALK FOR HOURS ABOUT THE TABONS THEY USE

[blackraynestorm]

@MrTasos76 Ur a sexist motherfucker. If a woman is a lesbian, that doesn't mean she hates men. Sexism and sexual orientation are two separate things.

[MrTasos76]

@blackraynestorm η κωλο τρυπα που σε εβγαζε γαμιολα...

[BunnyePinkie13]

@MrTasos76 My Greek is shit but: Your asshole is like a grandma's?

I'm guessing you know from experience?

[MrTasos76]

@BunnyePinkie13  a 13 year old lesbian too ah?

[BunnyePinkie13]

@MrTasos76 16 and straight, actually.

[KimberlyAguiar]

@MrTasos76 Poor of you man.

[MrTasos76]

A LESBIAN !!??? HOW STRANGE?

[marsjake8]

Otep...I just gained a new found respect for you. Keep rocking, you'll always have my support

[ikdsjOFFICIAL]

この動画にレスポンスを付ける... 

[kaonous]

l cannot believe my attention span lasted for 8 minutes on youtube. but she's just so god damned interesting. l want to hang out with her

[filth69ify1]

She Is Cool and Wise

[PeterDanielCurran]

This interview made my day :)*

[beingjoshmc]

Every single thing that came out her mouth just made me hate her more and more and more and more.... God, she is one of the most pretentious, stuck up, and bitchy artists I have ever scene, and all while claiming that the opposite is true! "Art-Core"? What a fucking joke...

[kaonous]

@beingjoshmc are you trying to get hate mail?

[beingjoshmc]

@kaonous Nope, just making an observation. This is one of those people who will tell you to respect her beliefs, but will make her own judgements as to whether yours deserve respect or not. Meanwhile she will be preaching tolerance, when in reality she really just means, "tolerate me, but I don't have to tolerate you." She's got a big vocabulary and is very well spoken so she does a good job at hiding it from her primarily teenage fan base, but it's not hard to see in this interview.

[kaonous]

@beingjoshmc just making an observation? you speak as if your opinions on this singer are facts. they are just opinions, like everyone else's. and you would be wise to keep your opinions to yourself instead of going to a spot where everyone likes her to talk shit. l don't believe you're not trying to piss people off. because you have no other motive for doing this

[beingjoshmc]

@kaonous Well, if this was one of her shows I could see why it might be wise for me to keep my opinions to myself, but since this is YouTube I see no reason as to why I shouldn't be able to speak my peace, and where else would I be able to say this except on a video of her? Of course most of the people watching this video are going to be fans, but where else could I talk about her except on a video that actually has her in it? Otherwise, what I was saying would have no relevance.

[kaonous]

@beingjoshmc l'm saying there's no point in you saying anything. you're just going to upset people.

[KimberlyAguiar]

@beingjoshmc What's your problem man? Grow up, and don't watch her videos!

[crackajacka777]

I have mixed feelings about her. She is a tremendous artist. There is a certain way of being that I would like to see her break out of, because I think it would serve her on a personal level. But then their art would be different. I don't know.... all I know is OTEP Rocks!!!

[smileyg333]

too bad she is a democrat:( barf!

[Singing2theStreets]

Everything after 4:00 is amazing :]

[LittleSerboLamb]

Love this band! Been a fan since I was 13!

[FollyxXxFallen]

Good interview! I like her opinions, I can really relate. Totally agree with the assless chaps part.

[destinyman75]

Tushe, But I was only giving my own opinion as you were. I simply do not agree that the lyrics you were referring too are just run of the mill blah.  At least she is educated enough to back up her own opinion.

[murphy0847]

if you come up with these questions yourself then you are really really good at what you do. I will deff subscribe and soon have a bryanstars marathon. I seriously really enjoyed this video and feel like you're introducing us to new friends, if that makes sense any ways high five.

[BryanStars]

@murphy0847 This comment put a huge smile on my face =) Thank you! And yes I do come up with all of these questions on my own

[murphy0847]

@BryanStars lol dude I watched your vids from what ever time I added this comment until 4:30 in the morning lol and had school at 8am the next day, but you really surprised me man(great interviews), couldn't believe you interviewed A Skylit Drive lol I know those guys pretty well, there old lead singer and his dad are my buddies. They are lucky to have met the BryanStars man haha! hurry up and move here to California where you can get a lot more interviews and work for a big station.

[BryanStars]

@murphy0847 You stayed up until 4:30 watching my interviews? Dude that's awesome lol. Well hey thanks for the kind words and I'll look into moving to California ;)

[drtyfknmouth]

Does something about her remind anybody else of Jodie Foster? Yeah, yeah, well who fucking cares anyway? Just another member of the neo thought police, pissing and moaning about what words somebody else says because it offends you. Well when the fuck did it become your RIGHT to NOT be offended? More people acting/looking/screaming "tough", and all the while crying like a 5 year old girl w a skinned knee. It nauseates me. Its boring and its fucking tired. Learn to play the fucking harp & STFU.

[destinyman75]

You Obviously do not know O.T.E.P.'s work well enough to form such a conclusion, but that is your opinion ass hole!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drtyfknmouth]

@destinyman75 First, thanks for reminding me that it was my opinion. Here I was thinking all this time that I was printing pure facts about her. From just that remark, I can tell I'm among some pretty heady company right here! Since it is MY opinion, I suppose I can judge her words in whatever way I chose, right? A learned fan, like yourself, can see whats REAL. BTW, since you know her so well, is O.T.E.P. an acronym for her band, or did you make a mistake? Maybe you've come up w your own, hmm?

[drtyfknmouth]

@destinyman75 P.S., Name calling is for children. So, little boy, did you bring YOUR pitiful, sad, little harp to play and angrily scream about your pathetic inadequacies along side your good friend, "O.T.E.P."?

[jenpower]

She says guys' urethra's don't dilate. I hope she doesn't think babies come out of urethra's...

[debsnaxxxx]

Otep is my idol! thanx for everything!

[H3lloSE]

haha dude ur soo lucky meeting all these music celebs !!!!!!

[bzagar1]

Fuck this left wing pagan Obama lover. Ya, "Art core." Cool. Gay as fuck. Jesus Christ has authority over her. She will bow to him.

[H3lloSE]

@bzagar1 haha im christian dude and love jesus, but whats your point?

[MJSpiderman7116]

@bzagar1 Agreed with H3lloSE. Im a christian and I can appreciate her music, even though I may disagree with her beliefs. I do agree with you on one thing though.. Obama sucks.

[SX1995able]

@bzagar1 Don`t take religion to seriously, it`ll brain wash you. I believe in God but religion ruins it.

[ImOteps1Fan]

Shes so sexy

[sevastraNOH8]

a new album is coming.

[sgtpickleman]

hey buddy...how u doin

[guitarzero1901]

"Well, last time I checked vaginas are pretty strong." She is great lol!

[KickinShadows]

She is so wise and unwilling to compromise her beliefs. She stands up for what she believes in, and is not afraid to do so. To me, that is what makes her admirable and beautiful. A lot of people can learn from her, I know I have. And the band's music has helped me through some dark times. More people need to learn to recognize and stop promoting/ condoning sexual exploitation just because it is the status quo. Question everything! "Gnothi Seauton" Great video, and interview. Thank you Bryan.

[BryanStars]

@KickinShadows Thank you for watching! =)

[hate6663]

IS THERE GONNA BE A NEW ALBUM??

[breakingintocars]

Bryan's voice reminds me a lot of Michael Cera's

[PsychologicalNecro1]

Fantastic interview Bryan! :D

It's great that you are into more personal and meaningful questions.

I'm definitely subscribing.

[BryanStars]

@PsychologicalNecro1 Thank you so much!! =) People like you are the reason I do this

[sharkapillar]

There's metal...and there's Otep. Frankly I tend to like Otep better. They, and she, kick major ass.

[blackcrimsonpiper]

Shes hot! I hope that on day I can be able to get my art out like she has over the years! Thank you Otep for given me even more of a push to write my songs and poems! XD

[xxxgodkingxxx]

I used to be an atheist, but I think I've found my goddess! How does "Shamayaism" sound like? :D

[divinedevil999]

Great interview bryan I like how ur calm n collected n always smilin XD haha couldn't help but subscribe =3

[BryanStars]

@divinedevil999 <3

[flatauicious]

Nice Bryan, you're a pretty fucking good interviewer!

[BryanStars]

@flatauicious Thank you!! =) So glad you liked it

[otep67]

loved the interview i.m so saving it lol shes hot. an is like the smartest person i ever seen..o.o

[BryanStars]

@otep67 Glad you liked it! =)

[blubluer34]

GREAT INTERVIEW!

[BryanStars]

@blubluer34 Thank you!! =)

[RiinRiin]

i would so do her lol but she is so frickin amazing! :D

[FistOfTheLeopard]

I kinda agree with her take on men and women. Some men think of girls as lesser beings but some girls act that way. Some men give other men like me a bad name by treating women like crap. Women are humans not material things

[PimpyMcHoSmack]

I've had the craziest crush on this girl forever now lol

[DizzleHell]

wow nice marlboro voice

[crazyzaszcookie]

@DizzleHell SUCK IT

[kitert0079]

I love you otep shamaya!

[smileyg333]

@HeavyMetalAndWhiskey um maybe you want to be controlled by the government and that is cool but most people dont so push off tool8(

[HeavyMetalAndWhiskey]

Didn't know she was a lesbian, but then never gave a thought of her sexual orientation, just loved her voice and her attitude.

[MusicSoundsLights]

Lol she said some nice stuff seriously .. Good interview .. I saw the interview you did of TAT :) (band from london at Warped tour)

[BryanStars]

@MusicSoundsLights Thank you so much! =) Really glad you liked it

[ska2808]

Is that a new tattoo on the right side of her neck? It looks like a big wound! =|

[onlydarkness1990]

@ska2808

i wonder even too! its not really cool this tattoo

[ska2808]

@onlydarkness1990 A bit of research tells me that it's apparently a hand grenade - lame. Isn't it covering up that Chinese writing she used to have there?

[SuperJEPa]

im one of her dogs XDXD

[SuperJEPa]

ella es mi novia!!! she is my girlfriend! i Love her so much!!!!!

[smileyg333]

Thought Otep was sooooo bad ass until i heard she was a democrat?!?!?!?! Please tell me this is false!!!!!!! Makes some bad ass jams though:)

[HeavyMetalAndWhiskey]

@smileyg333 Grow up

[antimatter2380]

I didn't know that she was a lesbian......and I don't care. I just have to watch my language this Friday when I get to share a stage with her.

[Craigomyeggo]

There needs to be more people like her in the world.

[poetsir]

She's awesome and obviously not afraid to speak the truth about herself and others

[gizzmo907]

great band 2 thumbs up!

[rawrcakes92]

haha my bf is the one who was in the raft : )
