Hey n00b... relax!!

Was just a bit of confusion as: (according to Wikipedia)

Wikipedia wrote:

Ben Moody II, born in Little Rock, Arkansas on January 22, 1980. From 1996 to October of 2003, he played lead guitar for the rock band Evanescence, a band that he formed while in high school. He is present on the albums Evanescence EP, Sound Asleep EP, Origin, and the band's major label debut, Fallen. Ben plays a Jackson DKMG Dinky and a Jackson SLSMG Soloist. He worked on the track Nobody's Home on Avril Lavigne's sophomore record, Under My Skin, and wrote and recorded the track The End Has Come for The Punisher movie soundtrack. He also collaborated with David Hodges and Kelly Clarkson on Clarkson's most recent album, Breakaway.

ah, but you see i think he only worked with er, not in the band! lol, i wasn't tryin to be mean r nothing! just a funny thot, that.

Well the font is pretty!! lol!

I quite like "Going under" and "My Immortal", anything else I've heard sounds a bit weak though, don't like the Davedevil one with all the rapping on top though.

Overall, I'd say they're no Lacuna Coil. Fallen is good, but Coma Lies is Excellent.

Tar.Aldarion

today i learned that people like lacuna coil....well this place is educational i guess.

yes, but Lacuna Coil * Ev are 2 diff bands, making their own music. I also like "Going Under" but i much prefer the "soft" types; Breathe no more, Hello, Missing etc. And then of course the "hard" types; Everybody's Fool, Tourniquet, Taking Over Me, I Must be Dreaming, Anything For you etc. As u can see, my variety of songs i love of Ev is awfully wide. sure i could go on naming which ones i love and why. but then i'd bore ya!

Deadwing

Id hockey Amy Lee out of it like a ballymun slapper...never really thought of them as a band just 'that band with the fine singer'
Couple of enjoyable tracks, shes got a great voice, but all in all just meh.

To anyone looking for origin, you're best bet is try ebay, I've never seen it in the shops myself, so I got mine of ebay.
Nirina, that is a damn good wallpaper. You wouldn't have a higher resolution version of it?
I'm slightly worried that their next album is gonna be very similar to the last one, seen as how Amy Lee's voice is very distinctive.

So does everyone recommend I get Anywhere But Home?

Yup, i'v never been abl to find "Origin" in shops either, and i'v looked in 4 diff countries!! But i think i'm getting mine off Play.com or CDWow.com instead. But thanx for the tip.

1. Evanescence have recorded 4 NEW demo's for this album

2. Their next single will come from this album

3. [Possible "new" songs] Alone, Hate You, The Last Song I'm Wasting On You and Prisoner For A Day Long

4. Breathe No More and Missing may also be on the album

5. Another song that may be on there is a very old Ev. song called Catherine

6. It is likely that this album will be 12 - 18 tracks long

7. "Prisoner For A Day Long" is said to be the next single but Evanescence have not confirmed this

8. This album will be slightly like Haunted

9. Someone once said (i forget who) that Evanescence will start recording in October

10. This album will not be as successful as Fallen.

11. The album will come out March 2006

No, can't say I like them at all myself. Always struck me as ripping off Lacuna Coil's sound.

yeah, dunno, I kinda like Lacuna Coil too, dont really have a problem with evanescence , some of their stuff's ok. I saw a cool Shamanic Princess AMV to one of their tracks before XD,
/me was owned.

Nirina

I read that as the new album will be like The Haunted. Which shocked me. Then IO re-read it.

Nirina

so it doesn't soz, thats the old url, i'll change it now! and ok, i'll giv ya the link to the resized wall in a min

Sarky

Alright from what I heard, I can't say I'd find them compulsive listening though. To be perfectly honest, there's much better music out there.

star_in_girl

i like evanescence but i wouldnt listen to them all the time.........it gets annoying then!

Nirina

hmm..well i listen to Ev everyday, but other bands too, for a variety. Tho i don't feel listening to em lots can get annoying, but i won't argue with you.

Karl Hungus

Do you listen to anything but the likes of Evanescence, Linkin Park, and Good Charlotte? Perhaps some King Crimson or something? Maybe Jeff Buckley?

Nirina

Umm.. ye. Christina Aguilera, Hilary Duff, Nightwish, a bit of Nirvana and green Day, Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters.. Honestly, my list could expand to name so many artists!

no i only like evanescence!
i love the bands opeth,death,slayer,adagio,the flower kings,frank zappa...and so on!

star_in_girl

and i love the band NILE!

marshmallow

I liked them when 'Fallen' was released. I bought the album and thought it was pretty good but I wouldn't be too keen to buy other stuff by them, especially if Ben Moody has left.

My Immortal is somewhere in my fave top songs list.. Love the lyrics and playing it on the piano.

Nirina

Ya, i love the piano on it too. (piano's also my fav instrument, thats also why) But even if Ben left, they'll do ok. Tho the article could be right, the new alb may not be as great as Fallen. But we'll see
