Why has Evanescence been getting the Nickelback treatment? I could care less but this seems like a recent phenomenon.

From where I'm sitting, it seemed like they were getting the Matchbox 20 treatment.

/"Who? Oh, yeah, them."

frepnog: Amy has a voice like liquid sunshine

You're not kidding. I like Lacuna Coil, and Chr... Cr... she can carry a tune, but I don't like the way her voice sounds.

Splinshints: Also, I like Evanescence. They're okay. I wouldn't go buy one of their albums, but I don't change the station if one of their songs comes on.

Most of the stuff from that first album was high school music for me. Which means it gets turned up should I happen upon it. But yeah, no money needs to change hands in this relationship.

Aidan: Biiirdmaaan!: //All the tracks were too same-y to tell the difference between

I've only got the first CD, but that is a little true yes.

Still... I like that song(s), so I have no complaints. :)

kingoomieiii: I like Lacuna Coil, and Chr... Cr...

Christina Scabbia? Yep. Like her. Like Tarja Turunen, and Sharon den Adel and Liv Kristine and ... Okay. So I'm like the most pop music lover of metal, but I don't care. Cause it's awesome. :)

Occasionally it's fun to try to remember back how you were introduced to a band. Lacuna Coil, who I've spent money on, was introduced to me via Kazaa. No recollection of what I was actually SEARCHING for (god kazaa sucked), but I ended up with a shiatty MP3 of My Wings. CHECKMATE, RIAA

/anecdotes, anecdotes everywhere

frepnog: still love the cover of that first record.

That image, as a depiction of a female archetype, is a formative memory as far as I'm concerned. I'm not ashamed.

Ok it is a stupid pet peeve but it is a pet peeve none the less, but I hate it when people compare bands for the only reason there is a chic singer in the band. Yes there is usually a hot female singer, but the bands sound different. Lacuna Coil sounds nothing like Evanescence, and Lacuna Coil was never super heavy until Comalies came out, and then got influenced by American bands and kind of went to shiat after that. Also I am slowly liking Epica, it was hard for me to get into the band but damn Simon has a voice of an siren, and she is a ginger.

Aidan: Which was that? My first CD was In A Reverie, so I'm not certain which you mean.

The cover of Fallen. He was talking about evanescence ("ev").

Rumor has it she will never again do a tour stop where I live (Eugene, Oregon). Apparently stoned out hippies are not her target audience, and she was less than happy with the audience's lack of enthusiasm for her.

Aidan: demonfaerie: but I hate it when people compare bands for the only reason there is a chic singer in the band. Yes there is usually a hot female singer, but the bands sound different.

If you're refering to me, I just happen to like the sound contrast between a female singing voice and a male singing voice or heavy bass. Thus the list of singers you read off my post. :)

Not you, just in general. I remember when Evanescence got huge, and Best Buy had this if you like this band check out this band. They put Lacuna Coil next to Evanescence. I have been annoyed by that ever, because they do not sound anything a like. The only thing they really have in common is a hot chic in the band.

People actually listen to this CRAP? There are so many good bands out there but you listen to this corporate, spoon-fed, white boy shiat? Pro-tip: if you listen to something that could be used in an episode of Grey's Anatomy you have no taste, you have no soul, and you have no business posting about it on Fark. Go to some gayass Evanescence fan boi site you p*ssy.

And I know you'll say "Oh well here you are posting about it." Well this took the Internet equivalent of flipping you off in real life so I'm OK with that.

And I'm glad when I'm rocking out at the next Dave Matthews or Train concert I won't have to encounter your sorry ass.

mvpmiguel: and she is a ginger.

I know she is a bottle ginger, but she is still a ginger none the less since she only dyes her hair that color. The band is slowly getting better, I think they stopped doing death metal vocals. That really did no mesh well with her voice. The only time I ever seen that remotely work was when Cradle of Filth had Liv from Leaves Eyes did a song with the band.
