I first heard Melissa when she performed Ding with Feuerschwanz and didn't realize at the time how new she was to being a full time singer. It's as impressive as seeing how good Elizabeth is with these interviews and realizing they only started about a year ago.

Ms. Bonny is the complete package. She's a beautiful young lady with a stunning voice, an engaging stage presence, and a bestial growl that will floor you when she unleashes it. Also happens to be a sweetheart with a crazy work ethic.I expect nothing but the best from this channel, and Mrs. Zharoff and Ms Bonny both have a habit of exceeding the highest of expectations; so it looks like it's gonna be a fun Friday!

What impressed me most about Melissa was her maturity. She related several stories about how she has been given critiques and then put in the work to address the issues that were pointed out. Her parents must be so proud to have raised such a humble, hard working, and gifted person. It is no wonder why so many bands want to collaborate with her. Great Interview!

I have only exposed to these talented woman metal singers these past few months. It started with Floor Jansen and Nightwish at the end of May 21st and continuing to Simone Simons , Tarja, Anette ,Alissa, Sharon, Maria Franz and so on . It has only been just recently I heard Melissa Bonny sing... I think she was suggested to me by an Instagram bot just about a month ago and I have started to listen to her music too. She has a wonderful voice ! There is so much talent out there to support . I have been supporting artists through by streaming , buying merch when I can afford it and paying for tickets for virtual shows. I guess a ood point of this chat is that many of my favourite artists are not several times over millionaires like some pop artists in America are and need our support to keep on making the music that we fans love to listen to .

Another incredible metal singer - so grievously overlooked - with an incredible toolkit of vocal technique, stage presence, and charisma.

Glad you had Melissa on. She is sweet, talented and genuine interesting personality. Even better this aired when the new Feuerschwanz record Memento Mori on which Melissa also sang hit No 1 in Germany (literally when this video premiered). Melissa is still very young (for the Metal-Genre) and she is already insanely good and very diverse in her style, it seems als her recent endeavors payed of very well. She might be the next big thing in metal and I would be very happy about that.

Wether it’s Elizabeth and other singers here, Tod and Matt Easton trying out/researching weird medieval weapons or B.Dave Walters and a guest talking about storytelling, DM’ing and how to engage players. Because both performers are professionals and the setting very informal, it allows for a very conversational and relaxed style of interview, which is really delightful and engaging to watch. :)

this was a fantastic interview. elizabeth is a very good interviewer and guest melissa is a really likeable charismatic person like elizabeth too. thank you so much. melissa has such an insanely good voice and clearly star qualities. she will make her way. another subject I won´t give up upon: a long time nearly all people thought, real metal is to physical for women to play. singer perhaps, but band? nah! so in 2016 a female bassplayer, huge maiden fan, and a female drummer, helloween fan, founded a band. the singer came from R&B and had no clue about metal. now she can sound like bruce dickinsons granddaughter. one of the guitarists is a musical prodigy, the other one a female shredgod. first EP and album came out in 2017. in 2018 they won metal hammers "best newcomer" award and played Wacken as first all female metal band ever.´til now they have a backcatalogue of around 50 songs. all of them are very good or masterpieces. not even one is mediocre or stale. they wear white dresses to "deny expectations" and to be better visible, because they are so tiny. but don´t get fooled, they really can kick ass. these women derserve more recognition.

The part of the discussion involving coffee and chocolate was intriguing because I actively used swiss chocolates when I was in choir and some other singing projects, specifically for the effect it had and the modifications it made to my voice. I have used chocolate, lemonade, tea, and even soda to achieve certain effects. I just have to be a bit cautious about the order I do them in or just omit one or more, depending on what I was up to.

I LOVE that Melissa's power metal influences are the same as mine Kamelot, Nightwish changed my life !! From there, I discovered so many amazing bands in the genre in EU and other places (US is still very light with power metal) Melissa is drop dead awesome ;) I'm in So Cal and I hope to see her here. Otherwise, I plan on going to see them in Munich this Summer.

Nightwish’s is not power metal though.

Best way to do circular breathing is with a whistle. Trying to blow the same tone blowing out or in ward. There is a distinct difference in breathe flow to maintain constant tone but it can be done.

Excellent interview as usual! Would love to see a Muse reaction video, especially something from the H.A.A.R.P tour
