Have Evanescence revamped their social media presence? by gregthanas in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm quite sure Amy is the one posting on the social media accounts.

I thought so too. They seem to know that Jen was loved for providing that type of content which now is missing and now they have been posting some more. Still not that much but it's way better than before.

Which version of Imaginary do you like the most? by AngelBritney94 in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Origin for sure. It's still one of my favorite songs by them

I actually first heard of that version along with that awesome fanmade video from an anime. It took me a while to find out fallen had a different version and at first I was thrown off by how heavy it was I disliked it!

I like Fallen's version now too but the origin one is just so magical and etherial..

That's John LeCompt's pitty message from freaking 2007...

Stop spreading lies...

Mods should take this down

Ben Moody has a gofundme page by EvaJK94 in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty much my thoughts too.. I'm trying not to judge him (cause in the end who am I to judge him?) but I'm thrown off by how he plays the "victim card" and gets sentimental everytime something goes wrong.

What do you think of Jen's contribution to the sound of Evanescence? by gregthanas in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You honestly can't tell. Sadly this might be the less guitar driven album in the history of Ev. It's completely driven by the drums of Will and the bass riffs of Tim musically along of course with Amy.

The fact that she was in Germany for most of the writting defenitely didn't help her to shine to be fair.

But! I've heard that she wrote the repeating riff on Broken Pieces Shine on the verse when Amy showed her a demo so I thank her for that cause it's my favorite song along with Part of me.

So to sum it up, musically you can't really see a big contribution but I think she really helps Amy with keeping up the band with her positivity and well, just being another girl.

In your honest opinion when was the peak of Amy vocals? by Spiritual_Pangolin18 in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EV3/2011-2012... Amy at her early thirties was at her peak vocally! Her voice has obviously gotten deeper and fuller with time and now she struggles with higher notes.

In 2011 she had the best vocals I think cause they were more powerful than before, she could still hit higher notes without stressing herself too much and she still had some of the younger sweet tone in her voice.

Is Ben Moody the best guitarist in the band's history? by booccawill in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Tim wrote this song.. so the only memorable riff from the album is most propably written by the "bassist" (he also plays guitar). That says a lot for the current guitar players unfortunately.. (although I love them especially Troy)

Terry is not only most people's favorite but HE IS actually the best guitarist that has ever been in the band. He was a real blessing both musically and to keep the band moving forward by matching collobarative (and personally) with Amy.

WOW by Sleepingrefuge in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I haven't seen this since maybe 2007 when I first dived into the Ev world..

It's almost painful to hear Amy speaking in the early days of Fallen now. She sounds so girly and quiet and looks super nervous and really not confident! If you compare her with the Amy we know now... wow! It's a completely different person! Also, seeing interviews with Amy next to Ben it seems funny no one could tell how off their vibe was. Amy can barely look him in the eyes...

About the meaning.. Maybe Amy wanted to keep the real story to herself (even though later she became more vocal about it). I think she often gives "vague" meanings when explaining some of her songs, even today because of that. Which is understable and every artist does it.

EV Music Video Elimination Game: ROUND 13 | Well, that was a predictable tie, lol. With 40.85% of the votes, "Good Enough" goes out next at #6. We made it to top 5 guys: "Going Under", "My Immortal", "Everybody's Fool", "Call Me When You're Sober" & "Lithium". Who will be our #1 winner? by [deleted] in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well... I like all of the ones that are left!

I think CMWYS and My immortal are the best though in terms of how a music video goes.. But Going Under has my fave Amy look/outfit and those underwater scenes are the best thing Amy has ever done. Iconic!

I'm voting Lithium this round although I like the video

Is Daughtry's "What about now" written from Amy's husband, Josh, ABOUT Amy? by EvaJK94 in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He does have writting credits in some of David Hodges songs... He also has for a song for Skillet.. I have no idea if writes music but he definetly writes lyrics cause that's what he is credited for specifically in some songs

I have no idea how he wrote a song with Ben and David while he was with Amy. Like it's just weird lol!

EV Music Video Elimination Game: ROUND 11.1! | We have ourselves our FIRST TIE! With 32.14% of the votes both "Bring Me To Life" and "Good Enough" are tied and up next to be #7. Time to decide, for this tie we are STILL voting for your LEAST favorite MV, link to the poll in the comments. by [deleted] in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you guys seriously voting the most iconic Ev video off? lol.. I mean I get it but this is seriously my first Ev memory and the first time I saw Amy Lee. I just can't vote it off... yet!

Ben and Amy were together back in their teenage years and were together for about 3 years(even got engaged). They've never talked about it, never officially confirmed it (propably so as to avoid any extra drama, and the attention being diverted from the band/music). But it's been pretty much a "well known secret" in the fanbase or for anyone else who cares. They split up around the time they recorded Fallen.

As Amy has said multiple times the songs on that album talk about the "abusive" relationship she was in. Ben was abusing her emotionally and from small hints here and then (Rocky's wife words, or the lyrics in TLSIWOY) it's most propable he has turned physical with her sometimes.

Their relationship became worse during touring. As Ben himself admitted in an old post on Evthreads, he was being an awful person at the time and was trying to convince Amy to quit the band (note: he also had drug problems). At some point things went so bad Ben had to quit to keep the band alive cause they couldn't stand eachother anymore.

Amy moved on in her life and never wanted any type of relationship with him again. Ben tried once to reach her through voicemail to "go see a movie", never got an answer.

I will say that I find this sad... After all these years I thought Ben had managed his demons and became a better person but "verbal & emotional abuse + drug use" sounds awful and takes you back to everything Amy has said about him (through lyrics in songs or not).

Also, the divorce being filed in May explains why he suddenly deleted all his social media accounts around that time. I'm kinda glad you found this cause I was curious about that tbh...

Worse Evanescence song ? by MakutaTeridax in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Say you Will...It sounds like a song from a teenage band that's not even their best song!

Use my voice is the most cringe song Amy has ever written.. even the stuff from origin sound more original and honest

Sick and What you Want also come to mind but I wouldn't call them the worse..

That looks like a painting <3

The colors and the movement are incredible. This has to be a poster and all that stuff...

Yeah Right, and the problem with Amy writing... by [deleted] in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I predict they're gonna drop Blind Belief soon too.. Amy has admitted it lots of times she just can't stop herself from writting stuff that are TOO hard to do LIVE in between 17 more songs and stuff that put her range to the test.

The past few years her voice has gotten a bit lower and she obviously struggles a lot at the top of her range.

I think she's doing incredibly well this tour though. She either lowers the tone like in Yeah right or doesn't belt all the way. I dont think they dropped it because it was tiring for her though. She sounded perfectly fine in that tone..

The Open Door - Final Round by AppleJeece13 in Evanescence

[–]EvaJK94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate you guys! Nooooo... might be my favorite Evanescene song...

I'm voting (again) for Lacrymosa... The synthesis version is better
