Anyone like what they are doing?
I knew Going Under, but since a few days, the song My Immortal is playing a lot on the radio over here, and I must say, that's a pretty good song!
They have been nominated for 5 grammies, I guess that's because they might be worth nothing (though it garantees nothing, as far as I know, New Order have never been nominated!!)
off topic x 2 here Nicos
send me yer email addy - I sent you a message last week to 3 address of yours, and I have had no reply - sort it out me ole fruitcake;)
I really loathe Evanescence, but it could be because they received constant radio play this summer on the top 40 station that I was forced to listen to during work. The singer's voice isn't bad, but the instrumentation seems too trite - power chords, anyone? And the lyrics sound like bad teenage-angst poetry with religious undertones, although not as bad as Creed. I think they're incredibly overrated, although I'd rather see them receive a Grammy over Britney Spears, who has proved to be the Paula Abdul of this decade.
While I enjoyed her celtic like vocals the first billion times I heard that song, the neo-Lincoln Park metal crap that followed her voice was a turn off.
Sorta like you meet a hot chick, get her home and when she drops her pants you realized that her parts are the same as yours.

I thought that sports bars had the most penises per cubic inch

About the only good thing that's ever come out of Arkansas is Johnny Cash. That's it (though I do think Billary will be remembered in a much better light once Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch commit suicide together, and Fox News folds under its own spin). 
It's a bit like the joke about Georgia that South Carolinians tell: What's the best thing to come out of Georgia? Answer: I-85 Northbound 
A FUCKING PILE OF SHITE. God they bloody annoy me. And that voice of hers....so penetrating. Utter crap. Fuck all that shite nu-metal bollocks..... 
God almighty - you're not going to believe this, that awful number 1 hit of theirs has JUST come on the radio as I type this! No kidding! Aaaaaaaaaargh!

I thought that sports bars had the most penises per cubic inch Hmm...probably. Never considered that.
Originally posted by Anon Y Mouse Never heard them. Am I missing out ?
Well, seems I didn't listen to the same song everybody did haha...
Well, the song "Going Under" reminds me of Garbage (the group.. 
) as for The Immortal, it's just a very solid vocal performance I think...
Maybe it will be annoying in the long run, but I like it so far.. but one thing for sure, when the music really starts (other than the piano), I do remember Roxette's Listen To Your Heart... don't know why!
Anyways, it's not everyone's cup of tea I guess...
A gay man aint going to steal my wife or daughter. Nor rape them. I have never been is a fight with a homo but been in several with straight fuckers. But I do like the cleavage of a sportsbar waitress.

Comparing it to Roxette isn't really going to sell it Nic!

Indeed. I had to listen to their song about 10 times a day - no joke - while I worked in the summer. doesn't sum it up properly. 
, however, does.

Amen to that! 
The whole nu-metal thing seems to be dying off, though. Let's hope it disappears completely soon.
Saw the band live in concert this past summer;
Music: HORRIBLE
Vocals (live): WEAK
Amy Lee (lead singer) in person: HOT HOT HOT!

that is a very good synopsis of Evanescence
I don't care if they have a hot chick as their singer, their music well and truly sucks - the fresher kids round our way are always playing that kind of dreck from their open topped chevros - bloody horrible... I guess the guitarist probably makes off with the girl - by sitting on her face .... this may explain her constant need for recourse to those excruciating operatics every time she opens her mouth.
Hello! About Evanescence, all i can say is that you all can hate them and think they suck but i wouldn't say that after listening to the hits "bring me to life" and "going under" and nothing more. They became one of my favourite bands after listening almost 40 tracks - although "Fallen" is their first properly released album, they have a lot of tracks, and I liked most of them. I really like Amy's voice and she is supposed to write most of the music and lyrics - and she plays piano, too. One of my favourite tracks is "Missing", a b-side - it's hard to find a good file on mp3 sharing tools, but i liked it a lot.
Don't get me wrong, I only know 2 songs of them, so I can't say their shite or not!
I happen to like "My Immortal", and I noticed I knew Going Under by them...
But the lead singer is indeed hot...
My favourite Evanescence tracks are: -Bring Me To Life (Bliss Mix) - version without the "rap" vocals -Going Under -My Immortal (Full Band Version) -Missing -Taking Over Me -Imaginary -Away From Me - not on "Fallen" album
Well, they are not New Order but I think "Fallen" is very good for a first album and I hope they go on releasing good stuff (in my opinion).
About lyrics, as a Brazilian I really don't pay too much attention.
And after listening almost 40 tracks I wouldn't name them as "nu-metal"... Maybe "gothic rock"... or maybe "nu-goth"...

nu-goth? the existence of such a genre scares me shitless.
Goth rock? I'm sorry, but Evanescence is about as "goth" as Slipknot. And nu-goth? Do you really see any bands trying to be the next Bauhaus or the Cure?
Chosing a genre for a band is not an easy thing to do... What genre is New Order?
Well, I think Evanescence is "nu-goth" not "gothic", as Linkin Park is "nu-metal", not "metal". If you listen to Haunted, Imaginary, Haunted, Even In Death you will know what I'm saying.
And Amy seems to be very talented 20 years old girl with a promising future - a beautiful voice, she plays piano very well and has even made the choral arrangements for the songs on "Fallen" and also on a superb track called "Listen to the Rain"...
I don't think Evanescence can even be considered goth. Really, their lyrics are just poorly written Christian poems about salvation.
jesus fooking christ...why do you kids all insist on finding a label to stick on people???
I don't like eveneswhatevertheirnameis...but I know plenty of fine folk that do...so who gives a rat's ass???
like what you like, and leave the rest alone...

Well, they have many songs about salvation, but...
"I took their smiles and I made them mine I sold my soul just to hide the light And now I see what I really am A thief, a whore, and a liar
I run to you Call out your name I see you there Farther away
I’m numb to you Numb, and deaf, and blind You give me all but the reason why I reach but I feel only air at night Not you, not love, just nothing"
I don't think this one is about Christ or anything like this. And "Tourniquet" is in fact about suicide theme.
And I agree, let people like them or not. I just saying what I think and of course I don't want to change anyone's opinion...
See ya!
