Is it hot in here, or is it just you?
- It’s me. But it’s a little warm in my apartment, too.

When’s the first time you realized you were hot?
- It’s a new realization. I was insecure most of my life, but being on stage with my band made me feel better about myself.

At what age were you least hot?
- Thirteen. I had braces, my hair was big and poofy, I was a little overweight and just hated myself.

What’s your advice for people out there who aspire to hotness?
- Work your ass off. You don’t need to be born hot. I’ve worked really hard and gotten what I wanted.

Who’s on your personal hot list?
- Keane. They’re softer than what I usually listen to, but they’re really good.

Hot or not: hot topic?
- Mmm … hot. I still get stuff there.

Fake tans?
- Ha-ha-ha! Definitely not. I’m a big fan of spray-on white!

Cocaine?
- Not. Big turn-off.

Paris Hilton?
- Screw it, not! No, no — hot. My New Year’s resolution was not to be mean about anybody.

Hot new catchphrase?
- “Get that corn out of my face,” from Nacho Libre. I am obsessed with Nacho Libre. It’s just stupid and awesome.

What’s your fallback plan for when you inevitably lose your hotness?
- I plan on getting four cats, wearing my favorite purple sweater permanently, knitting clothes for my cats and lowering a basket of biscuits from my window down to frightened children.

Matéria da Blender de 25/09/2006, entitulada Amy Lee: Back in Black retirada de Blender.com

Two days ago, Amy Lee was dying in a cemetery.

“It was a shoot for the new Johnny Cash video,” she explains. “The concept is all these celebrities — Justin Timberlake, Tony Hawk, P. Diddy — dressed in black like Johnny Cash. You know, expressing the pain of the world. They said I could do whatever I wanted, so I said, ‘Why don’t I go to a cemetery and lay some flowers on a grave?’ We shot it at Trinity Church,” she says, referring to the soaring neo-Gothic cathedral three blocks from Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. “It was really creepy,” which, coming from her, is high praise.

Lee, 24, is the singer from Evanescence, the most popular goth-rock band in the world. Sitting in a park on a blindingly sunny July day, however, she couldn’t look less like a princess of darkness. She’s wearing pink shades, a purple-and-white-striped tank top, a flowing black skirt and flip-flops, and her raven tresses are pulled back into a loose ponytail, revealing a pale, pretty face. She’s nibbling on a double-meat turkey-and-cheese Subway sub — a foot-long, because “I’m going to save the second half for dinner,” she says. If it weren’t for the silver death’s-head pendant dangling from her neck, she could be any NYU coed lazing away a summer afternoon.

“Anyway,” she says about the video shoot, “I really wanted to wear this coat I’d just bought — long-sleeve black velvet, very dramatic. But it turned out to be the hottest day of the year, like a hundred degrees. So I’m walking around in this 10-pound coat buttoned all the way up, tail dragging behind me, just so, so hot. But I had to wear it — it used to belong to Tim Burton.”

She looks up from her sandwich and lets out an ironic laugh: “God. I am so goth.”


For the past three years, Lee’s life has been straight out of a Lemony Snicket novel — one unfortunate event after another. First she broke up with her boyfriend. Then her band imploded. Next came stalkers and therapy; then another breakup; a bandmate’s stroke; an alleged sexual assault and ensuing seven-figure lawsuit; another bandmate’s retirement …

“It’s been an eventful couple of years,” she says, grinning and tossing crumbs to some pigeons.

Back in 2003, Evanescence were the unlikeliest success story in music. Five shaggy kids from the aptly named Little Rock, Arkansas — a town whose most famous musical export up to that point was a certain sax-blowing ex-president — they were either dismissed as a cash-in gimmick (Linkin Park with a cute chick) or ignored altogether. But then their “Bring Me to Life,” a monster collision of snarling guitar riffs and Lee’s icy, ring-wraith vocals, landed on the Daredevil soundtrack, and faster than you could say “Bennifer II” they were skyrocketing to the top of the charts. Lee became an overnight icon for legions of 14-year-old girls with Emily the Strange posters on their walls and black lipstick in their purses, and Evanescence’s debut, Fallen, went on to sell 6.5 million copies, win two Grammys and park in the Top Ten for nearly a year.

But it all came crashing down in October 2003, when Ben Moody, the band’s guitarist and Lee’s co-songwriter, decided  he’d had enough and quit the band mid-tour. It was a doubly painful blow for Lee: She and Moody had been best friends since 1994, when they met at church summer camp. The pair dated briefly but eventually grew to be more like siblings — a rock & roll Pugsley and Wednesday. Lee soldiered  on after the split, insisting it was a long time coming and best for everyone, but at the time she was devastated.

“I don’t hate Ben,” she says today, eyes glistening. “I just don’t ever want to speak to him again. He was truly kind of poisonous. Some people just aren’t good for you — it doesn’t mean they’re Satan, but you can’t have them in your life.” She says they haven’t spoken in nearly two and a half years, since the night of their Grammy triumph. Moody has left her a few voicemails, but she doesn’t respond. “It’s manipulative. We need to just live our separate lives.”

Lee has been staring intently at her fingernails, slowly chipping away at the dark blood-red polish. Suddenly she looks up, embarrassed. “Wow, I’m being so bad right now. I’m going to burn for it. I’m going to get a pig heart in the mail from his mother after this interview. But it’s the truth.

“Relationships are fascinating to me,” she continues. “You pour your heart into someone, share everything, and it feels so good at first. But then you realize, ‘I am completely vulnerable. This person can destroy me.’ That inspires me.”

If she’s right, then last winter must have been inspirational beyond belief. In late November, Lee and the band fired their longtime manager, Dennis Rider, just one album into a three-album deal. When Rider sued Lee for breach of contract, seeking $10 million in damages, she struck back with a countersuit detailing exactly why he was being given the boot — and it’s a doozy: It alleges Rider “neglected Lee’s career and business and focused his efforts on having extramarital affairs … becoming intoxicated during business meetings, physically abusing women and boasting about it … and using Lee’s corporate card to purchase gifts for his mistress,” one of which was an $18,000 car. And there’s more: The suit also accuses Rider of making “overt and unwelcome sexual advances” toward Lee, including once when he “put his head in Lee’s lap and ran his hand up her leg” and another time when he said “he wanted to perform a gynecological examination on her.”

When we ask about the case, Lee goes even paler. “I should absolutely not talk about it,” she says. “It’s possible I could have no money by the end of this thing. I could be destitute.”

Rider had been the band’s manager since 2002; he shepherded them through every step of their career and wielded enormous power. “I was very young and vulnerable,” Lee says. “And to have my trust be completely dashed and thrown back in my face — that’s what hurts the most.”

(Rider strongly denies the allegations and quickly issued a statement calling them “appalling,” “untrue” and “disappointing  beyond words.” When reached for further comment, his attorney told Blender, “I think we will stick with our previous policy of allowing the matter to play out through the court system.”)

“Dennis was a good guy, and I think he meant well,” says new guitarist Terry Balsamo. “I personally didn’t see a lot of that stuff going on, but he and Amy obviously had their differences.”

Emphasizing that she’s speaking generally, and not about anyone in particular, Lee admits that she has “allowed people to take advantage of me. I’m learning as I grow up that some people are really hurtful and mean and evil. People aren’t always going to have a conscience and be good to me. They’ll put their heart on a shelf and do what they have to do to get ahead.”

But as sordid as all this is, the suit’s most startling revelation might have come in what was essentially a footnote: a copy of Rider’s termination notice that Lee’s attorneys included as evidence. “As you are well aware,” it reads, “Ms. Lee was recently in an abusive relationship with Ben Moody. She has no intention of associating with any persons who engage in that sort of … illegal conduct.”

Does that mean Ben was physically abusive, we ask?

Lee inhales sharply: “I’m not going to answer that. Sorry.”


In February 2005, Amy Lee vanished. Evanescence had just finished another exhaustive round of world touring to promote a live CD and DVD, and the label was already pressuring her to start making the next album. Overwhelmed, she retreated to her house in L.A.’s Topanga Canyon, locked the door and pulled the phone out of the wall.

Lee spent the next 10 months writing songs. “That’s my favorite part,” she says. “I go into this kind of weird, dark, obsessed-with-my-own-sadness funk.” She painted — stuff like the five-by-six-foot anatomical heart spewing a fountain of blood that currently hangs in her apartment. She composed some music for the Chronicles of Narnia movie, only to have Disney brass reject it as “too dark” and “too epic.” And she did something her mom had been asking her about since the last album: She started going to therapy.

“For the first, I don’t know, lots of sessions, I’d just go in and cry,” Lee says. “Every time. I guess I was letting out all the ghosts of my past.”

It’s a slightly surprising admission, if only because she’s already so fearlessly confessional in her lyrics. Evanescence’s debut was largely about an abusive boyfriend, full of tortured screams and pleas for salvation; it may have sounded like typical teenage Sturm und Drang, but there was real anguish underneath.

The band’s new album is also intensely personal. But where Fallen was a cry for help, The Open Door is a liberation statement. “It’s so clear now that I’m unchained,” Lee sings in the very first verse, and more than one song sounds laser-targeted at Ben Moody.

Much of the album also addresses Lee’s breakup with Shaun Morgan, singer for the South African hard-rock band Seether, whom she dated from mid-2004 until last fall. “It was good for a while,” she says. “But it ended really, really wrong. It’s just that fatal thing — girls are so attracted to assholes.” Morgan recently announced he was canceling a tour to enter rehab, and The Open Door’s first single, “Call Me When You’re Sober,” addresses his troubles — a sassy, almost flirtatious kiss-off to a manipulative lover.

On Fallen, Lee was like a vampiric  Kewpie doll, haunted by her demons but also fragile and sexless. “When you’re young, you’re so awkward about yourself and your body,” she explains. But now she’s getting less shy about embracing her feminine side — and about being sexy. “I feel so much better now, so much more confident. So free.”

The black cloud that’s haunted Lee hasn’t blown over completely, though. Balsamo suffered a stroke in November, when a blood clot in one of his neck arteries entered his brain; he says he’s only about 60 percent recovered and still has some paralysis in his left arm. And in July, bassist Will Boyd announced he was quitting to spend more time with his family, leaving the band scrambling for a replacement.

 But Lee isn’t worried. “I’ve really broken down the door of being afraid all the time,” she says. “I’m not going back to where I was — ever.”


The next afternoon, Lee phones Blender. It’s a wet, gray Friday, and she’s playing the piano and listening to the drizzle on her window. “I love it,” she says, laughing. “I’m only happy when it rains.”

She’s at her brand-new apartment near Manhattan’s tony Gramercy Park that she shares with her cats, Shermie and Stella. (Her last pet, a kitten named Zero, was eaten by coyotes before the move from California.) The building is part of a converted 19th-century church, complete with turrets, a spire, stained-glass windows and her favorite, a massive marble bathtub. “It’s like you’re being baptized,” she gushes.

Lee also has a new boyfriend, Josh, a 28-year-old therapist who lives in New York. They’ve been friends since Lee was a teenager, and she’s always kinda-sorta had a thing for him but could never bring herself to admit it. “To be honest, I felt like I wasn’t good enough for him,” she says. “He’s kind, he’s a good listener, he makes me do breathing exercises when I freak out. It’s the first stable relationship I’ve ever been in.”

Josh is also, she admits, at the risk of sounding “like a stupid obsessed weirdo ,” her secret muse. She wrote “Bring Me to Life” about him, and he inspired one of The Open Door’s most touching moments, a tender, album-closing ballad called “Good Enough.” It’s the sound of a woman who may have finally found true love — probably as close to contentment as a death-obsessed goth princess is going to get.

“When I first heard it, I was worried — like, ‘This is corny, it doesn’t fit our image,’” Lee says. “But you know what I’m realizing? Sometimes it’s okay to have a happy ending.”

Matéria da Blender de 12/08/2005, entitulada Evanescence Suffer for Thoughtless Act retirada de Blender.com

In good news for easily-offended Maryland goth-rockers (a unique breed, surely), a recent court ruling entitles disgruntled shoppers a refund on the Evanescence album, Anywhere But Home, if purchased at a Wal-Mart in that state. This is the result of a successful lawsuit brought by a buzz-killing Brownsville couple against Wal-Mart for stocking the album without a parental advisory label. The track that caused all the commotion was "Thoughtless," which contained the following risqué lyrics:

"Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it\'s funny?
What the screw you think it\'s doing to me?"

11/04/2004 Imaginary *anime* video?? | imaginary LINK
I love that video! If it\'s the one I think you\'re talking about, it\'s really really cool. It was made to the demo version of the song, by a guy in little rock. I actually had a copy he gave to me for a while but I lost it when my cd collection ran away in europe. He gave it to me at a show about a year ago (i think his name is dave) and I was really moved. I love anime. When it hits the chorus there\'s a girl in a field with all of these wildly blowing red flower petals. Love that video. If imaginary had been a single, I wanted to make an anime video for it - after seeing this one.

11/04/2004 I Have a Question for Amy.. LINK
okay, ill try my best to describe why I think these two expressions are so different...
I don\'t think there\'s anything wrong with sexuality. Sexuality is natural and beautiful, though it\'s very intimate in our culture, making it sometimes akward or embarassing to watch stuff like the Bjork videos you mentioned, (or at leaset very hard for your mom to accept her daughter enjoying them asthetically). What I love about good artists is that they can address any human feeling, and Bjork simply seems to transcribe her heart into music, words, and visual images. What bothers me about so many female pop artists is that sexuality is the only subject matter, or at least the majority of it, because sex sells. The most succesful musicians of our time dont even write their own music. Its all scripted, ingenuine slop that has a catchy hook and a great cleavage singing lead. The real message of the music is that we\'re all fools for buying into a manufactured package fronted by a real live person and not much else. The most offensive thing about it is that alot of these artists got their start with children\'s programming (the disney channel, nickelodeon etc.), so their fanbase at least began with kids...Of course we all know that it\'s still kids. That\'s the worst part.
is any of that what you were thinking?

amy

11/04/2004 I Have a Question for Amy.. LINK
oh yeah, p.s.,
As a woman I feel offended because these artists portray women as people that can only do well in the world by selling their bodies. I\'m determined to help prove that to be false.

04/08/2004 Question For Amy.... | vampires LINK
your name is jason voorhees and youve never seen a vampire movie???
ok, Im assuming you like horror movies, so maybe you should start old school and watch the original dracula with bella lugosi...
Im also assuming you might just be screwing with me so maybe you like comedy... Young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder. And in modern film, for my kind of vampire movie, see Interview with the vampire with Brad Pitt. I didn\'t particularly like bram stoker\'s dracula because keanu reeves sucks. A good vampire movie mixes horror and suspense with twisted romance and seduction. Thats why they rock.

04/08/2004 Question for Amy about the Indiana show??? LINK
We talked about it just before my set. Shaun\'s been wanting to do it for awhile and it just felt like a good night for it - seeing as Seether had 3 different guest appearances that night with the whole dale in the hospital thing. Besides, i jump up on their set every night to do broken and i think it was about time he did it to us. Its fun to change things up now and then.

13/10/2004 Amy\'s Hair | For Girls Only LINK
okay, I can\'t believe I\'m being the expert hair consultant here, but I just can\'t believe you guys really think I have straight hair! My natural hair is like in the my immortal video. I know how frustrating it is to get your hair really really straight, and I\'m kindof obsessed with japanese fashion, so after trying lots of different methods over the years, this is what Beth and I have discovered works best on my frizzy, kinky, Janis Joplin hair:
I shampoo and condition with goldwell kerasilk (get it at a salon). Its awesome and keeps it really shiny and healthy. If you cant afford this, dont worry. The styling part makes more of a difference than the washing part (dont tell beth I said that!!) Then I either blowdry it (which on my hair takes too long and my arm feels like its going to fall off) or just let it dry naturally. Then, I straighten it with a "chi" flat-iron. Before I straighten each section, I spray it with the most awesome product in the world of straight hair, the one thing i cant live without! - sebastian "laminates". It\'s a straightening hairspray. DO NOT FEAR THE WORD HAIRSPRAY! It doesnt make your hair sticky and stiff. It makes it silky soft when the heat of the iron activates it. just dont forget to brush after ironing the piece (its crispy at first). So with each piece, comb, spray, iron, comb. Thats it. No leave ins, pommade, or dear god- extentions. God i sound like an infomercial! I guess through having long hair for so long Ive learned alot. *sigh* you boys wouldnt understand this but frizzy hair sucks... especially when its like, three feet long.
love,
a totally sissy girlygirl who will probably get picked on for this post,
amy
ps- chi irons may be stylist only, if you cant get one or get someone at a salon to order one for you, just get the hottest straightening iron you can find. careful you dont fry your hair!

13/10/2004 women in the music industry | what? a girl miking a drum set? get outta here! LINK
You\'d probably be really suprised if you knew how far I\'ve pushed myself because somebody tried to tell me I couldnt do something. Thats one of the main things that drives me on - proving people wrong! I have had many experiences just like yours and I have to say that for me, it has gotten better, because Ive worked my ass off and proven that I can do certain things. Men being better at electronics, recording, "gear", etc. - thats a stereotype because the vast majority of people out there doing that for a living are guys (remember - girls are busy drawing horsies and picking flowers!). Alot of times, they just need to see that you can do it to believe it. On one hand, it sucks that you have to prove yourself, but on the other hand, its really fun to blow their minds!!  
Hang in there an learn all you can in that class, and then smoke \'em at finals. You\'ll have plenty of time to laugh about it when your on tour working for your favorite band.

13/10/2004 Amy - is it embarrasing... LINK
Its a very rare occurance that I like a picture of myself singing. I do alot of weird, subconcious things with my face and neck to reach notes and put different feelings into them, plus I get all red and sweaty when Im stomping around and stuff, but I\'d rather sound good than look good.
No I don\'t like those pictures, but I\'m not embarassed about them. I know I\'m not a hideous troll.

13/10/2004 Letter to Amy from my 11-year-old cousin LINK
Daniella,
wow, thats alot of questions! lets see.... My songs are sad but I\'m happy and funny because I think its okay to be sad, happy, funny, angry, goofy or whatever as long as its real. I\'m falling in the Bring me to life video because its about waking up from a bad dream, and in the video, I dream that I\'m falling and that\'s what wakes me up. I never touch the ground in the my immortal video because I\'m a ghost, and there are zombies in the going under video because I think zombies are cool AND because they represented all the people in the world that wanted a piece of me because I was famous, eating my soul up like flesh-eating zombies! bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! Anyway, dont worry, I dont think you can do a zombie video twice in one career... or can you? I\'m glad you like our music, Daniella! I can\'t wait to see your skirt!

13/10/2004 amy..how did you do it? LINK
Dear Francesca,
They were pretty bad to me at school, too. I went to seven different schools growing up because my dads job caused us to move all the time. I remember my first week at a new school in jr. high, I didn\'t know anyone so I just sketched stuff in an art journal during break and lunch and whenever everyone else was socializing. Then, within a couple of days of this, I went to the bathroom, leaving my art journal on my desk. When I came back, it was destroyed. All of my sketches were torn up and crumpled all over the floor. I looked at a girl next to me and said, "what happened??" I remember her saying, blank and indifferent, "oh, christina did it. She doesn\'t like the way you dress." HA! Yes, I ate many a lunch in the bathroom stall or in the empty football bleachers. How did I get through it? I found my thing - music. I loved music. I listened to it all the time and it made me feel good. Then I started writing my own, and that made me feel even better. It still hurt me when they were cruel to me, but I had something that I loved - a whole world - that they couldn\'t touch, couldn\'t even imagine, and that made me strong. Just don\'t make school your whole life. Have something of your own, something you can look forward to every day, away from school. A hobby, an instrument, some weird art project, even just a little pet or something. Just hold your breath and get through it, Francesca, it does get better.
love

13/10/2004For Amy..click me. LINK
Its hard to pick favorites, especially with bjork because theyre all so different. I love "baker" by tori amos. I listen to it over and over... its like it reminds me of a strange sad feeling I had a long time ago but I can\'t remember why. It just feels like goodbye. Also the song "Juarez." I have no freaking clue what she\'s talking about but I LOVE the music. As for Bjork, I love "Joga," its like a movie score. Oooo the strings! Also pagean poetry I\'ve listened to a whole lot. Come to think of it I love vespertine ALOT, I don\'t know why the rest of the world didn\'t catch on. I\'m very flattered that you would categorize me with these artists, who i respect so very much. Thank you.

13/10/2004 Concert Song Order LINK
Actually, picking the order takes alot of thought. The key of the songs is a big part of it, because different songs have different guitar tunings, and if you play a few in a row in the same key, you don\'t have to stop to change guitars. Also, the piano songs are side by side because otherwise we\'d have to pause the show to set up the piano more than once. And yeah, the middle of the set is the best place to sit down and catch my breath. Its a sauna in those lights! Often a sauna in a leather corset... Also you just want to set up a setlist with the best impact, drawing you in at the beginning and keeping your interest until the end. make sense?

This is some really funny shit!

03/08/2005 Haunted Written Lyrics LINK
hahaha. wow. I know Ben\'s claimed he wrote the lyrics to haunted more than once, (in front of me even) but how did that get to you guys? Is it in an interview or something? funny. I don\'t care. Anyway, to answer the question, that IS my real, real lyric journal and those are my real, real words. good to see you guys again! We\'ll be recording soon- YAAAAAY!

03/08/2005 Haunted Written Lyrics LINK

Um..I thought the obvious reason was Ben wrote the \'story\' behind Haunted and amy then took it and wrote lyrics around it to make the song....its like Ben says he wrote MI all on his own but technically he didnt because the bridge belongs to amy. The writing in the journal is hers not bens, because it is the same throughout with the same style-I think the pages are original and real because amy said herself she gave them to wind-up from her journal  

yeah- this is basically it. ben had a theme that he wrote out in the form of a short story. I read it and used the inspiration to write the lyrics.

11/08/2005 2nd Evanescence Album - (The Open Door) - Scheduled Release: October 3, 2006 LINK
Okay, I have to admit that this thread is really really long so i didn\'t have time to read it all, and if I\'m leaving something important out that you wanna know, say so. I\'ll check back.
1. Will is working with a band on a side project, Rocky and John are also working on a side project (mourningside), and John also told me about some writing he\'s doing with a really cool artist (i dont know if i can say who- i dont want to mess it up)- HOWEVER, no one is leaving evanescence.
2. Terry and I have done most of the writing ourselves. I AM a woman of my word, and I know I said I wanted us all to be equal writers on this album, but I have a vision and I love this band too much to sacrifice anything. We all write differently- some things work for evanescence and some things don\'t. Thats why I\'ve been nothing but encouraging about all of the side-project creativity. We ARE all artists, and one way or another, we are all writing music right now.
3. We are scheduled to go in the studio and begin recording the new album in 3 weeks. . . and I CANT FREAKING WAIT. I\'m as restless as you are and dying for you to hear this stuff.
4. We will be done recording and mixing by the end of the year, and I wanted that to mean a December release, but there\'s alot of press, promotion and work that has to be done, so it won\'t be on the shelves until March. (That doesn\'t mean you won\'t be hearing a single before then, remember. You always hit radio first.)
5. I am more proud of and in love with this new music than anything I\'ve ever been a part of making- including fallen. It is heavy, creative, soulful, sexy, and different- but it is still, naturally, evanescence. (And no, we didn\'t go so left field that you\'re not gonna get it.)
6. I love you guys, and I know the negativity is coming from alot of anticipation and anxiety for our new music- I\'m so lucky that anyone cares. But seriously, stop worrying. I wont let you down... You think your\'e into this band? -its my whole life.

15/08/2005 to insignificant for a thread. . . LINK
This is a little silly thing but I just want to say I just fell in love with a song. It\'s depeche mode\'s "halo." I\'ve been tripping out on that \'violater\' cd for the past 3 days straight and I\'m totally inspired. If you haven\'t heard it, DO. thank you, that is all.

God, I wanna cover like 3 songs on this album! I stayed up until 4 last night, (procrastinating) playing piano and singing along to it on itunes. Probably to unknown to cover. . .  

25/09/2005 In reference to stuff I apparently "said" (wtf??) LINK
(ok, this is just in reference to the stuff at the end of the "ev possible release etc." thread)*sigh* I hate being mean, but I\'m in a bad mood. um... ok, I never said we would have any covers on the new album- WERE NOT. And I also never said there would be any old songs redone- they wouldn\'t really apply to me anymore... everything on the new album is brand spanking new and the songs all relate to eachother. An oldie just wouldn\'t fit. And I don\'t know who imafreak05 is but dude, your information is all 100% wrong. Dont pretend I told you anything- I don\'t know you.
(sorry, everyone. that just made me sorta mad for some reason. speculation is one thing, but flat out lying is something I abhore)

25/09/2005 Loving someone else without loving myself LINK
my darling girl, Im sure this is the last thing you want to hear, but all of these responses are just about exactly what I would say too. It hurts more than maybe anything you\'ve ever known right now, but if you can\'t be happy alone, you\'ll never be happy with someone. You\'re just not there right now. You\'re still unsure of who you are. Don\'t you wanna be you? Instead of someone you\'ve made yourself to please someone? Because unconciously, thats what we do when we\'re unsure of ourselves and dedicating everything to someone. I\'m 23 and still trying to figure me out. When I was 15, I thought I was so different from everyone- and no matter what anyone said in matters of love, I was just positive that I knew better because I was following my heart. I was SO WRONG. Be strong, you will survive. It does get better, I promise. I think the best thing you can do--- whether you guys end up together or not--- is just give him that space. Life is lonely. Period. Work on making yourself better without him. Live your life- you only get one.

25/09/2005 Feeling abandoned by my friends LINK
Okay, Aaron. Here it is: For the most part, teenagers are totally selfish. It sounds like this just happened to you at a really bad time. Everyone\'s graduating, trying to be positive about their futures, ready to leave home and cut loose and to some degree, abandon responsibility. And then here you are, raining on the whole thing by needing them to forget themselves for a minute and be there for you. It makes me sick, but it makes sense- I bet if this had happened 2 years earlier or later it would have been much easier for your friends to deal with. You know what though? This is a real opportunity for you to grow. I bet that you will become a more caring person to those who need you, and I bet you will be more selective about who to rely on. You\'re not all alone, everyone is hurting. heh. Were all alone together. And what do you mean "now you cant go to college.."? I hope you mean you cant go right now. I mean, you can be in by second semester, right? And if not, one year. One year to do whatever you want with. Find yourself. Go on a roadtrip with an economy sized bag of chips and no plan. You can do that, you\'re free now.  Your body will heal, and life will go on. You are so lucky to have that... better to have your so-called girlfriend turn out to be a selfish backstabber than to have her mourning at your grave, right? Keep your head up.
love, amy

25/09/2005 Coping with death LINK
You have moved me to tears. It sounds like you\'ve been through some great therapy.   I have enjoyed this post more than any I think I\'ve ever read on this board. Just promise me you\'ll listen to your own words- because no matter how much we know them and say them, those thoughts and feelings will always come up. One thing- something cool my therapist told me that I think you\'ll appreciate: We all fantisize about the millions of things we could have done differently to prevent the death- and you know what? That actually helps you heal. It has some medical name I can\'t remember- but the way we mentally play out all of the different circumstances, ending with the survival of our loved one, the more we heal. . . because in a way, we feel like we got to see it through with every happy ending possible, and that is not what happened, so it helps us process it. I don\'t think I explained that very well.    It made sense when she said it. Anyway, just don\'t think that thinking those thoughts is wrong. Its part of your brain\'s instinctive healing. . . I relate to you. And as you well know, many many people do. Rock on, brotha. You have learned much. This seriously touched me. You should write a book or something.

25/09/2005 In reference to stuff I apparently "said" (wtf??) LINK

Im sorry, i didnt mean to mkae you mad, really, i was going on something a friend of mine had told me, and i really do appologise for being wrong...i can deleate the posts if you wish
somebody make it right again, please, Amy, im really, really sorry that i upset you, if you want, you can check out this email addy, but i dunno how im going to put it in, maybe i should, maybe i shouldnt, if i should, then tell me, but it was a friend of mine who gave me the information, i thought it true, i trusted what she said, im sorry

okay, calm down. Im sorry I hurt your feelings. The part that really made me mad and the only real reason I responded was where you said, "I know its true because I heard it from Amy Lynn Lee herself." That was the lie. Rumors are impossible for me to avoid, they\'re everywhere. I don\'t really care. It\'s when people falsely quote me like that that just isn\'t fair to me. I can\'t control the internet, I can\'t control the media, and I can\'t control you. I\'m sure you\'re a fan otherwise you wouldn\'t be here and I love my fans, but please do me a favor and try to be straight up, ok? No more bullshit. Thanks!

25/09/2005 calling all artists - logo for the out of the shadows campaign LINK

Anyway, Amy, I\'m going to do a little advocating for MySpace. We here on the board started an Out of the Shadows group on MySpace (well, I did not because I\'m MySpace-retarded but I joined it   ) and started advertising it. If there\'s one thing MySpace is good for, it\'s getting the word around.

(hey thanks! thats really cool.)
Okay, about this- I\'m trying to come up with a cool new logo for the out of the shadows campaign, instead of that eclipse thing. I want it to be smokey, kinda tribal, and want the colors for the whole thing to be either black and purple or black and blue. (i think black and purple because the black and blue may be too much like fallen) I know there are a bunch of wicked good artists on this board- and if any of you guys wanna take a crack at it, feel free! Inspire me.  
you have your challenge!

02/12/2005 A Bunch Of Stuff!!! LINK
HEY EVERYBODY!!!!
its been a crazy couple of weeks, but everything is going SO GREAT in the studio. I can hardly contain my excitement for this record, and I\'m happier than I\'ve been in so long I can\'t remember.    I haven\'t had a chance to look through all of the drawing ideas for the epilepsy logo yet, but there\'s some really amazing stuff in there. Thank you so much, guys. I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I DO NOT have any music in the chronicles of narnia    I did write music for it, that I love very much, but it was rejected for the movie because it was "too dark" and "too epic." My darlings, if I can\'t write dark, epic music, I can\'t live. I thought about it for awhile, and then finally decided that I simply will not compromise my art for anything. It is very sad, though, because I think the movie is going to be amazing. Its really good- I just don\'t want you guys to go and see it and be let down because you thought our music was in there. Oh well, more great stuff for the album.    IM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!! and im so glad we took the extra time to make this record right. You\'re gonna love it. I love you guys, and I\'m sorry I haven\'t been around in a while, but its all for a very good cause. Happy holidays! I\'ll talk to you soon.

20/01/2006 i love my album LINK
Hey guys.
I know everyone is dying to hear whats going on, and its been a little while since I\'ve posted. There\'s some stuff I really shouldn\'t talk about right now, but I want you to know that the record is coming out beautifully. Through all of the scary and insane drama over the last 6 months, there has also been alot of good- I feel like a new person. As most of you already know, Terry had a stroke in November. A small chunk of this recording process was spent in the neurology unit at ULCA. Every time he would wake up all he could talk about was getting out of the hospital and playing guitar. He actually had us bring his polka-dot Randy Rhodes guitar to the hospital. Its funny- after being stuck on lyrics for a month on one song, I remember finally writing them at the foot of Terry\'s bed in intensive care. Its wild how life inspires you- again reminding me that we have no control over anything. It\'s been 2 months, and Terry has made miraculous progress. He is in the studio with us right now, and everything is going ahead as planned. We are certain that he will make a full recovery- he\'s too stubborn to settle for anything less. Meanwhile, we were (and are) going through firing our manager, and as you can see (all over the freaking internet), that hasn\'t been very easy for us either. BUT it always hurts to break through to the other side- to make the changes you have to make to help yourself, and I already feel so good. Weird. I feel better than I have in years. I love my album, I love my band, and I\'m grateful for our lives. This album is meaning more and more to me as we finish it. Most of it was written when we came into the studio, but much more has poured out through all of this, making it that much better- that much more passionate. We will be finished with mixing and everything by March first. THAT MEANS it will be early fall when the album is actually on the shelf. We\'re thinking August. I hope you can understand the delay, and I promise the music will be worth it. I just can\'t wait to share it with everyone. Thank you all for being so patient and supportive. We love you!
-Amy

26/03/2006 Hiiiii! LINK
Hey guys. Terry and I are sitting here in the control room at the studio- well be done mixing next week! I can hardly believe it, weve been working on this album for so long. The stuff sounds so good... Wow, what a trip this has been. I just wanted to say hi, check in with you and let you know that Terry is doing really well (he is downloading pantera ringtones right now and trying to get one of us to call him), Fortman is ruling it (in deep thought at the mixing board) and I am trying to figure out the order of the songs for the album. Its going to be hard to hold this music in all summer. haha! Terry just said to thanks for all you guys\' support, and all the kind words. I really want to thank you guys again for being so patient- i know its gonna be worth it. Hang in there! Ill keep you guys posted.

13/06/2006 Happy cupcake sprinkly funland-the album! LINK
hi guys. part of me thinks it would be best not to say a word about the first single, because the only way to really appreciate or \'get\' the title of the song is to hear it- BUT- i just want to assure you- no rainbows or butterflies. Call me when you\'re sober is cool to me because the lyrics are so blunt, its impossible to misinterpret. Im just getting a little braver, thats all.    I wrote it pissed off and finally ready to change my life after putting up with way too much. Its not a pop song, its not a ballad, it rocks. But it isn\'t "typical evanescence" either. I hope you all love the record, i know i do, but just one tip about it- each song really has a life of its own. It would be impossible to judge the record on one song alone. Some are much heavier than weve ever been before, some more soulful, some more fun- the only word that really describes all of them is "more." ...as I\'m reading this I still think its all meaningless without hearing the album. Just be open minded, because I wasn\'t aiming to give people what they expect.  
i love you guys!!! almost there!

Hey everybody. We just had a killer couple of weeks filled with press, photos, and an incredible video shoot that I know youre gonna love. Things are going great and I\'m really getting excited for the new album. Unfortunately, I have some sad news. A few weeks ago, Will decided to leave the band.    He said that he just cant go through with another huge tour right now, and wants to stay a little closer to his family instead. Tour is hard- you kind of have to sacrifice your life for it, so we can all understand. We love Will very much and wish him nothing but happiness in everything he does. We\'ve been playing music together since I was in jr. high. I miss him already! I love you guys, don\'t worry about the band- nothing has changed in the schedule and were all excited to get out there and play again. See you soon!
love

I think it would be awesome if Amy learned to play the harp. It would be so beautiful.

how hillarious that you posted this... thats my new goal. To aquire and master the harp. Cant be that different, right?
ps- about all this narnia crap- nothing was sliced, diced or sacrificed. The song I wrote for the movie is still in tact- when I wrote it, I wrote a really long instrumental intro that is different from the rest of the song. Its just a piece of music. It turned out to be the perfect segway into the last song on the album. chillax!

hey guys. glad your digging the single, and thinking so deeply into it- its awesome. I just want to make 2 things clear- wind up didnt choose this single- I did, and I had to fight for it. I love this song. Also, they didnt change anything about it. This is the way we made it. We fought over the guitar part but eventually just got the mix right. Thanks for all of the attention!

17/02/2003 WHAT "HAUNTED" IS ABOUT LINK
i\'VE NOTICED SEVERAL POSTS ABOUT THIS SO i THOUGHT I\'D WALK YOU THROUGH IT

a little girl around 8 or 9 in a little white easter dress is walking down a neighborhood street bouncing a little red ball. as shee approaches an obviously deserted large house with a sinster demeanor, her attention moves from the ball to the house. Not paying attention to her bouncing, the ball hits the curb and ricochets toward the house. As she chases the little red ball toward the house, the ball picks up unatural momentum and bounces right into the huge gaping front door. THe little girl pauses for a moment, looks up at the house which now appears to be staring down at her, and cautiously enters the house in search of her little red ball. as she slowly walks into the atrium, she surveys the decaying mess that once was obviously a beautiful mansion. She becomes mesmerized by the exquisite detail of every inch of the banister winding up the seemingly endless staircase in front of her. Suddenly her thoughts are broken by a horrifying commotion. She whips around to run out the front door, but finds only a blank wall where the door once stood. Friqhtened, she runs down the first hallway she sees, trying desperately to find a way out, but with every turn the world behind her changes, bending to the will of the house, so that even finding a path back to the atrium where she began becomes impossible. Terrified, the little girl sinks into a corner, puts her head in her hands, and weeps.

10 years later....

the little girl wakes up in a panic, now a young woman.. dirty, scarred. She\'s now clothed in black pants, work boots, and a black wife beater. Her skin is pale and dirty. Sun has not graced her flesh in over a decade. She wakes to find a meal placed on a dirty silver tray before her, just enough to sustain life, just like every morning before. Placed there by a figure she can only see in passing, around a corner, walking through a door.... a figure that has become her only friend, and her only hate. Her entire existence has become nothing but to hunt and destroy this shadow that keeps her here. As she hunts him relentlessly day after day, she becomes lost in the dicotemy of her being. This thing that keeps her here, this person that repeatedly rapes her mind and watches her when she sleeps, has become her only friend. FOr is this person left, she would cease to exist. For she live only to kill him. But lives only FOR him. Every day the house changes around her, so that every day she wakes in a foreign land. The only constant... is him. She hears his heart beating, she smells him, she can only think of finding him, but he is also the only thing she knows of love.

that\'s basically what haunted is about

when we (EV) played at rock im park in nuremburg they headlined the entire festival over Audioslave. the crowd was totally nuts, twice as much as for audioslave. i hadn\'t heard them before then really and i loved what i heard.

Evanescence anuncia oficialmente lançamento de novo álbum MTV.com.br 21/07/09
A banda Evanescence[bb] anunciou oficialmente sua volta ao mercado musical.
Amy Lee, a vocalista do grupo, publicou no site oficial que eles estão preparando um novo álbum para ser lançado ano que vem.
Desde 2006, quando lançou "The Open Door", o Evanescence não lança nenhum trabalho inédito. Então, começaram a surgir especulaçãoes sobre uma possível carreira solo de Amy Lee.
Esse será o terceiro álbum do grupo norte-americano.

Silicon Fly está preparando novo disco. Veja entrevista! MTV.com.br 30/07/09
[parte inútil...]
MTV - Como foi abrir os shows do Evanescence no Brasil?
Guilherme Savoi - Foi difícil e muito bom, porque o Evanescence e o Silicon Fly fazem rock, mas são tipos de rock diferentes. Então, eu lembro que a gente teve que trocar um pouco o nosso repertório para o Silicon ficar mais roqueiro, mais pesado, para ir de encontro com o que o Evanescence estava fazendo. E a gente fez boa amizade com os caras, com o guitarrista, eles são muito legais... No último show, ele quase saiu com a gente para tocar uma música, mas o manager dele não deixou, então... Sabe como é isso, depois o cara fica tocando violão num bar lá pequenininho porque tocou com o Silicon Fly, não adianta (risos).

Evanescence, J-Rock e Panic! At The Disco dominam segundo dia de Maquinária MTV.com.br 09/11/09
Após o excelente Danko Jones no palco menor, Amy Lee e seu Evanescence ocuparam o principal espaço. Milhares de sinais do capeta disparados por adolescentes de camisa preta invadiram a Chácara do Jockey. A cantora domina as atenções, destoando do tom sombrio dos figurinos da platéia usando uma saia ultra-colorida.
O hit "Going Under" abriu o show, arrancando gritos de euforia dos mais empolgados. Assim como o Dir En Grey, o Evanescence ao vivo tem pouquíssima chance de agradar aos não fãs. Melodias repetitivas e clichês em profusão são a base da música da banda.
Mas a vocalista Amy Lee canta muitíssimo bem e sabe entregar exatamente o que os fãs querem. O sorriso na cara de cada um deles na saída do show comprovava a eficiência da banda.

Evanescence fala sobre os fãs, novas músicas e Panic! At The Disco MTV.com.br 06/11/09
Ontem (06), o Portal MTV conversou com Amy Lee, vocalista do Evanescence, por telefone. A cantora falou sobre quais bandas que ela quer ver no Maquinária Festival, o que acha de tocar com Panic! At The Disco e dos fãs brasileiros. "Quando lembro do Brasil, o que me vem em mente são os fãs. É algo muito forte que temos com eles".
- Em diversas entrevistas, você falou que o novo trabalho da banda será muito mais pesado e obscuro. Você poderia dar mais detalhes sobre o disco?
- Desde o ano passado estamos trabalhando nas músicas e, cada vez que entro em estúdio, fico mais feliz com os resultados. Realmente, as faixas que estamos fazendo são pesadas, ainda não posso falar muita coisa.
- Pretende tocar alguma música inédita no Festival?
- Queria muito fazer isso, mas vou esperar lançar algo oficial. Vão ter que esperar mais um pouco...
- Como é voltar ao Brasil? Qual é a lembrança que você tem da última passagem do Evanescence por aqui?
- É ótimo estar por aqui. Amo o Brasil. Sem dúvidas, a lembrança que guardo com muito carinho é o amor dos fãs brasileiros. É algo que não tem outros lugares que tocamos. Cantam todas as letras, gritam bastante (risos) e ganhamos até presentes.
- Presentes? Tem algum em especial que você pode citar?
- Essa é uma pergunta difícil. Todo presente que recebemos é especial. São muitos bonecos, cartas, fotos, desenhos... Posso falar de um que mexeu com todos da banda. Um fã fez uma grande homenagem para nós em vídeo. Ele teve um grande trabalho, pois era em stop-motion. Foi algo muito sensível e nunca vou esquecer.
- Qual show você pretende ver no festival?
- Quero ver muito Deftones, Faith No More e Jane\'s [Addiction]. Ficarei escondidinha no backstage, olhando tudo de perto. Não quero perder nada. (risos)
- Vocês vão tocar com o Panic! At The Disco. Conhece o som da banda? O Evanescence já tocou com eles?
- Não conheço muito o som deles, mas vou estar lá e ver sim. É a primeira vez que tocamos no mesmo festival. Vai ser divertido.
