Evanescence News Thread

Thats true, but how is it so different? Eva Luna doesnt go on stage with them! And doesnt Josh sometimes tour? I dont think it would be too big of a deal if Amy had a kid....

You're right I guess

Well of course I am right, I'm me arent I?

Yep

Here are some news from Spin.com

Evanescence's Amy Lee: "It's Not All Sad"
The singer chats with SPIN.com about her band's infighting, a new solo album, scoring films, and more.

With Nightmare Revisited, Evanescence's Amy Lee has released her first new material since her band's 2006 multi-platinum hit, The Open Door. Add that to the departure of two Evanescence members and Lee's ever-growing musical independence, and the songstress has some explaining to do.

Lee, who is busy writing new material, talks with SPIN.com about the messy split of Evanescence's guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray, writing a solo album, scoring films, and "Sally's Song," her contribution to Nightmare Revisited, the new collection of covers from Tim Burton's 1993 film, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

On the state of Evanescence:
"It's a difficult situation, as is every dramatic situation our band has gone through. John [LeCompt, guitar], Rocky [Gray, drums] -- we outgrew each other. When they joined the band, Fallen was just completed and they were excited to be a part of something really big. From the beginning, their musical styles were very different from Evanescence. I think to a degree they got bored or frustrated. They weren't part of the creative process and were like, 'Why are we doing this?' Their writing just didn't work for Evanescence, and I have to do what's best for the band. I've had a little bit of contact with John since and it was positive. Very few bands have been able to maintain their original members forever."

On new songs and a solo album:
"I need to show that I’m more than a one trick pony. I'm writing here at the house by myself and it's been really good. But I'd really like to do something different next. [The new songs] are definitely different. I feel like I'm going back to my really old roots. They have more of my folky and Celtic influence than ever before. And it's not all sad -- it's nothing I would categorize as Evanescence."

On scoring films:
"My biggest dream from the beginning -- besides Evanescence -- is scoring film and writing music for film. And I've definitely had that in my head and have been trying to connect with the right people to get involved with the right project. I really feel like it would be great to get into a project that's bigger than myself and be the creator and not necessarily just the performer."

On Nightmare Revisited:
"The Nightmare Before Christmas is my number one biggest influence artistically in every way. [When I was young] I literally would sit in my bedroom and sing 'Sally's Song,' or in the car driving to school. The best part about it [recording the song] was that I had no restrictions or direction or anything. I picked the producer, who's a friend, and we just made the song however we wanted together. [We recorded the song] three months ago, in Fort Worth, TX."

No, I dont believe so. Shes still with Ev!

^ I agree

Same here We agreed again.

She hasn't left Ev...she's just doing something different. After all, a person needs different outlets. She can do the sad stuff in Ev, keep it familiar, and then basically do what she wants on her own. That's just what I think. I think it'll be nice, as long as we get to hear Amy's voice. -goes into withdrawals-

Oh My,

Are you sure the news didnt just mispeak? Maybe they were reffering to Sally's Song, which was solo and not with the whole band.

Well...she said she was writing stuff at her home, after all. So I don't think so, no. But that would be...different.

I'm afraid its the end of Evanescence

To be honest - I'm just happy Amy is back making music again and I can't wait to hear it

I know it will be awesome - the womans incapable of doing anything but awesome

I can't be bothered to speculate whether its the end of Ev cos we've all done that a million times before

I agree *points up*

But Amy has repeatedly stated she doesnt want to go solo because she feels she can do anything with a band.

Well If It's A Happy, Different Form Ev Solo Album, I'm Not That Exicited!

I Think That Terry And Tim Are Gonna Help Her On The Album And Be Her Band But It Will Be A Solo Album Just For Her!

I don't like to be the one saying this...but isn't that kinda what she does already? Kinda like what Rynne was saying. It's rather confusing but nevertheless exciting news. At least we can expect something for sure now! And in the near future, too...

OMG! We've agreed again!!! O_O

Can we just call it even and say we're both equally freaky, funny, and strange in our own ways?

But yes, thats usually what she does, though Terry helped with lyrics in the last album.

I know! So weird!

Alright, sure. We're both equally freaky and strange.

Ah that's right, lyrics. Silly me. But still, it might just feel like Evanescence...with a twist! +harp. Can't forget that.

I guess I don't really know what to expect. And I love that!

Hopefully this blows away all the pregnancy rumours as well - if she's planning to do all this then she can't be which is good Amy - stay lovely and beautiful - theres plenty of time for all that.
