“The ‘filthiest’ show we ever played was during a rainstorm on Ozzfest and the mixing of sweat, beer, puke, blood, and god knows what else was pretty overwhelming. Especially when the crowd decided it would be fun to start a mosh-mud-pit, which naturally led to a mud-ball fight, which led to everything and everyone getting plastered in the reeking muck.”

otep is unique.
otep is unique. people are afraid of what and who they do not understand and try to destroy it. i myself can relate to every poetic lyric of hers that has ever reached my ear. i feel her pulsating thru my veins like a saint. thank you otep for letting me know i am not alone. you have saved my life in more ways than one i love you!
I completely agree that
I completely agree that she's the hottest chick in metal.

I must be confused
I thought I heard Otep on OutQ radio the other day talking about how she wanted to be seen for her talent, not anything else. How interesting
The pictures areamazing :)
The pictures areamazing :) I f@cking love OTEP!!!! & as for the gross stories, eh, wow lol

otep is beautiful, no matter
otep is beautiful, no matter what anyone says about her.
<3
beautiful!!!
HOT YES!!! gorgeous OH YEAH!
She's my fucking idol for
She's my fucking idol for creation, life, etc. She has changed my life SO FUCKING MUCH in the 7 years I've been a fan! That's why my left arm is dedicated to her!<3 Not to mention, she's hot as hell!
Simply AMAZING!
I always thought Otep was hot in pics and vids but OMFG in person she totally rawks my socks! I was up against the stage all night last week at Pops in Sauget and she is effin gorgeous. Her hotness is 2nd only to her amazing art. She is one of todays TRUE artists and I adore her for that. Thank you Otep! Much LOVE!
sexy
sexxxyyyyyyyyy
What? No pigtails?
;)
Nice shots of my favorite femme devil. The "bad tea" story was more than I ever wanted to know, though. :D
Just cuz she's not naked doesn't make her emo. prick
These pics don't really do her justice. I just saw the STCM tour last week in KC and she is by far one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen...inside and out.
burningchromosome
your new progression is evidence that people can think and will think and leave thoughts in the wake of others idle time
ahh i love otep shamaya
and um the dumbass saying she looks like a boy and needs to join bmth umm yeah SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!! if u have nothing nice to say then dont talk otep is amazing and beautiful u obviously havent actually listened to her and frankly ur just an ignorant shit who needs to stop listening to shitty music and stop being so goddamn judemental
~x-tina~
incredible.
most beatiful women in the industry. she has the whole package.:)
>_^
Love the Stories 'Tep-ster...
I love knowing otep shits just like the rest of us! LOL! That's great! Talking about embarassing and gross shit relaxes the mood for all...lol
Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
OMG this woman is a goddess. Intelligent, honest, raw, and soooooo incredibly hot I can't even stand it. I can't fucking stand it. And the music, full of in your face brash truth. How can you NOT love her? To the asshole who said she looks like a teenage boy, part of her appeal is that she doesn't look like a fucking Cosmo girl. I don't like women who look like they stepped out straight into a goddamned airbrushed Cosmo shoot. I want a real woman. Smart, tough, I don't want ballgowns and high heels. I want sneakers and tattoos. I want metal tees, I want lip peircings. I want attitude and intelligence. I want someone who sees the world with truth-tinted glasses. I want a woman who can gather you around and whip your senses into submission with intricately woven poetry. I want a woman who looks like she could kick your fuckin head in six ways to Sunday. Otep fits the bill. I admire anyone who not only crosses the line but beats the shit outta the idiot who painted the line to begin with, took the brush and drew her own line.
She does look like a boy
Are you serious? These pics don't even look like a girl. Only a gay male pedophile would find these pics attractive. Aside from the fact that she's another PETA worshipping mindless Obama-bot, her music has gone from great to shit. From Blood Pigs to Ur A WMN Now. Yup.. big step off the cliff..
Mabye
Otep is lesbian. Thats why she looks like a dude. I think she is fucking HAWT!!!!
Otep RULES!
I fear that Otep is headed in the wrong direction. She seems more stuckup and more polished then years before. But, I've been a dedicated fan for 7 years so it will take a lot to make me not love the band. Imo, however, she looked a lot better (don't like bleach blonde on anyone) back when Otep first started - not that she's not still hot now though.
I think she is a beautiful
I think she is a beautiful artist.... and comment on her looks......... absolutely stunning my boyfriend stays pissed because she is the one woman i would leave his ass for ...lol .
love both the talent and beauty that she generates!
full of shit haters
To the one who said "Aside from the fact that she's another PETA worshipping mindless Obama-bot, her music has gone from great to shit." First of all, compassion for animals doesn't make you an idiot. It makes you have a heart. And supporting Obama doesn't make you stupid, caring to vote at all is admirable, and supportin compassion over corporations is admirable. Id say eight years of automotons who saluted the crown head sending us off to war so he could filter our blood to fidn the gold like it was a fuckign goldrush and we dared not speak out against the overlord and his minions and allowed him to raze our rights in the name of terror - THOSE were the automotons. The people who knew all along the overlord was a peice of lying shit actually thought for themselves. That is not an automaton. And to the one saying she's snotty. WHY? Because she speaks her mind? Because she's confident in her reading on poetry. Because she's confident she's right because she sides with compassion and tolerance? That isn't snotty. That's knowing your right and not giving a shit who realizes their wrong.
Goddess
wow, to all of you who are on the same page and think she as well as her band are all amazing - high five!!!
If Shamaya started a religion I would be a fanatic. If she gave me a ring, I would marry her, not that my dreams would come true like that. And like another gal pointed out - if it were legal. If I could just touch her, I think I could die happy.
To the rest of you idiots who are judging and saying she looks like a boy...that she's emo - first of all you have no clue about her obviously, because she is so much more hardcore than a pussyass emo wuss.... and your opinion really holds no value because you simply waste your time worrying about childish fad labels. You should really just die, nothing to do with Otep, but you should really be looking at what matters and not how people are dressed. Dummmbassssesss...
Its about time they feature her in Revolver - cause none of the other chicks in there have come close to comparing to the poetic priestess Shamaya.
Much love to the entire band...and apologies for sinking to the level of immature retards who talk shit.
OTEP KICKS ASS!!!
The person who wrote the comment, "she looks like a boy"....why the hell are you hatin' so much? Try opening your mind a little more and opening your mouth a little less. I think it may be time for you to open your eyes to REALITY and stop being such an ignorant jerk. You fuckin disgust me.
And the kid who wrote, "otep is butt ugly"....are you fuckin 10 years old? Seriously? Wow. Pathetic.
Otep Shamaya, you are fuckin beautiful! And you're a kick ass artist all around! I support you music and art 100%. You rock hard and your live shows are amazing. Please don't change who you are, keep being yourself. Keep on keepin' it real. =)
Question not Obama the Messiah
According to Otep on Facebook, Twitter, etc.. you're only allowed to stand up and question the government when George Bush is in power. You better sit down and shut up when Emperor Obama takes the stand! Our savior, Mr. Obama knows all. You are un-patriotic and un-American if you question the Lord Obama!
idiot men
i think she is a strong female and she is not a chick.bu she is so hot and her voice obiviously is hotter than her look.i think she is a open minded pesron and write good lyrics.no matter what men say.because they just dont want to respect girls in metal.she is a good singer and good song writer and it is the only important thing.no matter if you say her that she is a hot chick
Otep is a good musician, but she's politically stupid
I watched Otep close a show in Lubbock, TX with War Head. She dedicated the song to the men and women of the armed forces. She said, "Mr. Bush- Their blood is on your hands." Now she strongly supports the latest idiot in office. Otep should ask her buddy Obama why he sent 17,000 additional military personnel to Afghanistan. When is Obama the war monger going to end his war in Afghanistan? Why are we still there? Why not write a song bashing Obama? Instead of focusing on that issue, she constantly bitches about people who eat hamburgers. She should just sing and keep the politics to herself.
Its an opinion...
Its an opinion... what does it matter..but if you have nothing nice to say you shouldnt say it at all...remeber that??? Otep is a beautiful female..and produces extreme talent. We all know this. All i can say is i think its a bit of jelousy in the comment of saying someone is ugly. Either in money or fame...again it all goes back to when your a child "if you cant say something nice, dont say anthing" especially if it wasnt directed towards you.
XOXO
I Love Her!!!
She is just extraordinary and magnificant! I even joined her site girlsoutloud because she is so determined to stand up for whats right. Otep is one of the greatest bands ever, they deserve to be like slipknot big, lol. Go get their album ppls!!!!!!!! ~*RnR*~
Don't like it? Don't listen. It is an opinion.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and expression of it. Her songs are not hurting anyone. If you do not like them, simply do not listen to them. And...bitching about people eating hamburgers? Do you mean she doesn't support the violent slaying of innocent animals for unnecessary human indulgence? She is standing up for what she believes in. I give her a lot of credit and a huge amount of respect. What is it you would like her to sing about? Her songs actually have depth and meaning. Which can't be said for a lot of other singers out there.
This country has been fighting in wars for so many decades. Along with most of the world. You ask, when will Obama end the war? The guy JUST got into office. He has already done quite a few things to help Americans. Try looking at all that, instead of dwelling on him sending troops overseas. Do you expect him to sit around and not fight the mess that Bush started? President Obama is only a little more than halfway through his first year in office. Let's wait and see how he does, how it all plays out.
Otep, you keep it as real as it gets and I fuckin love it. You're a talented artist, a beautiful woman, and a kick ass activist.
-- Much respect and love.
I Heart Ms. Shamaya
For those who thing Ms. Shamaya is butt ugly, go fuck yourselves. Otep is a beautiful, unique woman, and I feel for her, for all the things that has happened to her. She's strong.
she's like really pretty
she's like really pretty fuck all the haterz their stoopid she's pretty and awesomei want ur blood
...and The Rev B says....
I couldn't tell her no. Even IF I wanted to. Why would I?
SY IT FIRST AND SAY IT LOUD!!
Unfortunately we (most of us) need the emo kids to run their mouths so that we are reminded of what we think and that we need to say it out fucking loud. Everybody plays their part. Even the emo kid that wears their skinny pants like a fag and lives life mindlessly following all the other emo kids in their skinny pants out there.
This is retarded
Who the fuck cares if she is the hottest or not? You are all a bunch of emo kids and tabloid fanboys.
The one
I don't think she's hot....she's so much more than that....princely beauty....handsome......devilishly divine, nectar of the gods.
She's very pretty
I love her style. I think she's the best female metal singer around. I can't stand the other female singers in metal bands that sing with that melodic voice. Having an angelic voice in metal doesn't work for me.
Otep is Gorgeous<3
You people need to open your eyes[:
She is simply stunning. :P
