Evanescence

beautiful... soul wrenching....passionate... magic... And with this I bid you adieu... sweet dreams

The number of band members to filter through Evanescence is still managing to grow exponentially with each new albums release. Following their multi-platinum debut, Fallen, founding band member Ben Moody left the band citing irresolvable problems with frontwoman and former girlfriend Amy Lee. Since his departure, Moody has been replaced by ex-Cold guitarist Terry Balsamo, who suffered a stroke during the recording of Evanescence’s latest The Open Door. Despite the band’s p... MORE

First we had to deal with Creed and now Evanescence. The Christian rock drama doesn’t stop. After the departure of drummer Rock Gray and guitarist John LeCompt, Evanescence has signed on two new players. New Drummer Will Hunt and guitarist Troy McLawhorn, both members of Dark New Day, first day on the road with Evanescence will be this Saturday’s (May 19th) Rock On the Range Festival, featuring headliners ZZ Top, Hinder, Velvet Revolver and Buckcherry. That makes the off... MORE

Cpunks, So, I'm a thinking and when I'm not thinking, I'm writing about thinking. I did the random thumb twirl this morning and stopped on Evanescence. Naturally I had to listen to the new one "The Open Door" and I started to immediately think about "Fallen" the first Evanescence CD that owned me for months in 2003. I had to explore why the music from the new CD was leaving me wanting... "Hello, I am your mindGiving you someone to talk toHello..." "If I smile and don... MORE

I'm always missing out on Cover Sunday, this is by a long shot, my favorite day to be surfing the mog-sphere, anyway, enough of that, as I said, here's a recording I found a long time ago, I think it's a good cover, it's definitely different, but good, have a good Sunday, my fellow crusaders of music, James12 has left the building,...(but he's still in the sidewalk)...Peace.

After watching the Evanescence video Lithium, I decided to make a playlist of my top 15 female artists/songs that I have on my iPod. Here they are in alphabetical order with my favorite song1. Eva Cassady - Somewhere Over the Rainbow2. Tracy Chapman – Fast Car3. Dilana – Mother Mother 4. Melissa Etheridge - This is Not Goodbye5. Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly6. Aretha Franklin – Respect7. Nellie Furtado I’m Like A Bird8. Deborah ... MORE

Evanescence's latest single "Sweet Sacrifice" doesn't seem like it's as radio-friendly as their last two ("Lithium" and "Call Me When You're Sober"). I will be mildly surprised if it goes anywhere as far as the charts are concerned. The video for it is kinda creepy, and not as cinematic as some of their other videos, but it has Amy Lee...in a red dress...yum...

Evanescence guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray are no longer with the group following what appears to be an ugly falling out with lead singer Amy Lee.
"John and Rocky were in Evanescence for four years and we shared some great times together playing live, but they were ready to move on and so we have parted ways," Lee wrote in a blog entry posted yesterday (5/6) at the band's MySpace page. "Evanescence is something I have loved and nurtured since I was fou... MORE

ok. here's the deal. i don't give a flying chili bean fart what anyone says, this song, this whole album, is one of the greatest in the last 10 years... if you don't like it... tough shit. Video: on Letterman p.s. one of the best concerts i've ever been to.

So there I was, a simple 3 years ago when I discovered Evanescence. I thought the song Bring Me To Life was pretty good, so I invested in Fallen. As I listened to it (over and over, as it turned out) I came to love a lot of the songs and generally the album as a whole. The opportunity arose to see them in concert in Cleveland, so I bought tickets as soon as they were available. The short summary (since its not too important here) is that the concert rocked. What was... MORE

I'm so tired of being hereSuppressed by all my childish fearsAnd if you have to leaveI wish that you would just leave'Cause your presence still lingers hereAnd it won't leave me alone These wounds won't seem to healThis pain is just too realThere's just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tearsWhen you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fearsAnd I held your hand through all of these yearsBut you still haveAll of me You used to ca...

Amy Lee recorded Live for Yahoo Italia. She is singing "Good Enough" off the "Open the Door" album. Her voice has never sounded better. Powerful, crystal clear, and demonstrating a range that isn't seen often in rock vocalists. There are several other videos from the same session and each is unbelievable. They include "Lithium", "All That I'm Living For" and "Call Me When You're Sober". All of them were uploaded to YouTube by EvanescenceFan94 Doesn't matter if you're... MORE
