I've always liked all of Evanescence's singles and I've checked out both of their albums, however I just listening to both of them all the way through didn't do it for me and I ended up not keeping either one. I wouldn't be too upset if they ended up disbanding forever, but I still wouldn't be happy about it. The Open Door obviously and the singles from it obviously didn't come close to what Fallen and it's singles did and I think I enjoyed their music more before the world found out Amy Lee was a total bitch. Like fatalthirteen said, there's a much better female-fronted band out there that I believe has more potential.

Two years ago all this news would've been devastating but I'm alright with the death of Evanescence and the birth of the "Amy Lee Show"-there's nothing inherently evil about that concept so as long as the music continues to be good, i'll still be listening. Plus there's a female-fronted band that's already replaced them...three guesses what it is! ooh ooh *raises hand* Lacuna Coil... Kitty... oh wait, third guess. FLYLEAF! American Idiot, while i love Flyleaf, you have to be somewhat more realistic. what is Fallen now 9x, 10x platinum? Open door has sold like 1.5 million, correct? id like to see flyleaf do really well, but that will be hard to top. |

(US) while 14x to 15x (WW), the sale didn't rose for TOD 1.7mil and 4x plat (WW) I'm assuming the 3 are Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, Nightwish or After Forever or maybe The Gathering. |

There aren't three bands, he gave you 3 guesses. And only 1 is needed to guess Flyleaf (the band whose album cover is in his avatar). |

Oh, I never expect Flyleaf to sell nearly even close to what Evanescence did, but I expect them to definitely grow even bigger with their next album. |

I know those aren't 3 but 5 guesses but LC, WT, Nightwish are the 3 biggest bands that have been compared to Ev a lot, but since Nightwish's lead singer is gone and no one knows the new one is they seem to disappear from the comparison radar but After Forever and The Gathering even Epica are the next 3 to be compared to Ev. |

fatalthirteen definitely meant Flyleaf...
and Killzone are you sure Fallen has only sold 7x? i could have sworn that last summer it was like 9x, i thought that was US . but of course it sounds like im wrong.

Amy Lee has no songwriting credit on "What About Now". Where did you hear this? What I meant to say was that Josh (her new husband), along with Ben and David wrote that song, which to me means that, by association, they've (Amy, Ben and David) been in contact recently. |

Just to clear things up I meant that there is a female-fronted band who has replaced Evanescence in my heart. And no, I don't expect Flyleaf to have an album that will top the sales of Fallen but maybe topping the sales of The Open Door is not an impossible task.  |

Well I'm not really sure because it was quite a few months ago that I knew about the recent sales of Fallen and it hasn't really gone up by much, I think the 6x plat was for the 3 year period of its released. |

Yeah, the album's at about 6.7 million sold now. Somebody on one of the Evboards posted this picture...Moody was still in the band when this photo was taken about 3 1/2 years ago.  Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin' |

Ouch. Seeing these images does hurt. I know the band has been all Amy as of late (image wise) but I loved the boys. Seeing them live in only February, it makes me even sadder ços thy all seemed to love each other. I hope Amy isn't THAT much of a bitch, where she'd sack people at random. I love the person I see on TV, on stage etc. I only hope that girl in real life isn't that different.
I also don't see why people are comparing album sales? To me the albums are both top quality. This album will sell five million with juts one single. And you can't say they had much hype coming off of the last record as that was released AGES ago.

So how does Amy have the power to fire someone? Isn't it a band of equals?
And how do you "fire" someone from a band?
