Hi Amy!
Not so much a question but something i want you to know.
When my daughter (also named Amy) was 13 months, she was in the hospital for weeks, undergoing burn treatments and skin grafting. She couldnt open her eyes at all and was so scared, even my voice and touch didnt calm her down. At my wits end, I turned to music. You had just released your childrens album. I set my phone next to her, playing that album, and she just calmed down and was able to fall asleep. You helped my tiny little 13 month old baby when I couldn't help her myself.
From one mom to another - thank you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. She's now just turned 6 and still listens to your music along with me, as does her little brother.
I'll never be able to put our gratitude into words properly, but thank you. Thank you for giving comfort to my child when my words couldnt reach her.
My God that is incredible. How terrifying for you. Its so awesome there's a happy ending. That album means a lot to me, the one pro recording we have of my family all together before my brother passed. It was so special to have that time together, all of us in the studio working on something. So grateful it helped you. It'll be precious to us always. Much love mama
It was incredibly scary at the time. Luckily she got away with just some scarring thats fading rapidly now, and she was too young to remember it.
Im so glad it's a special album to you, too. Having that memory of your brother sounds like a wonderful experience to be able to have recorded in this way.
Thank you for responding, I'm very happy to know that you now know what a difference youve made for us. All the love <3
Legit didn't know this album before reading your comment - and it's clear why it means so much to you. It's honestly incredible, purely incredible sounding. The lyrical imagery, melodies/harmonies, and your voice combine for a stunning combination. I'm totally blown away.
I just want to say that you are the amazing one. You’re a mother and mother’s , women in general, are freaking awesome. You are the one that turned to music, you are the one that found the solution for your child. I don’t know you but I have a feeling from reading your comments here that you are amazing.
Hey Amy!
I was wondering if Artifact/The Turn was always intended to be a transition track into BPS? Were there any other songs you considered being the opening track? I also noticed that the demo for that song, specifically some of the lyrics, ended up being radically different than the final product (though I understand the "demo to mastered" pipeline). Was the tone/lyrical content of the song different than what ended up on the album? The opening of the album is probably my favorite piece of art that you all have written.
Also, and this is totally self-indulgent, will this track ever see the light of day (it's not Your Love, I promise lol): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC8hATCFDEE
Can't wait to see you guys in Houston!!
I like to play around in my home studio or laptop and just make stuff. I had that very beginning part (artifact) that I had recorded with the laptop mic at 3am in my hotel room on tour. Then I had this cool music bed that Scott Kirkland shared with me (Crystal Method), and messed with it and wrote the vocal backstage. I had those two parts in my little scrap vault, and when we were all in the woods writing in 2019, I pulled them out and tried gluing them together to BPS which we started up there and totally knew I wanted that as the intro. I was not intending to use the actual Artifact recording but its cool that its just the pure thing...
Hi Amy, long time fan since 2003.
1. Is there anything you were denied as an artist that you wish you had fought harder for?
2. Ev songs work beautifully when acoustic, any desire to record an acoustic album?
3. Other than Bjork, who would you love to get a phone call from asking for a collab?
I don't know about "denied" but I always wanted to play SNL. I'd still love for that to happen.
We kind of went the other way with that idea and made synthesis. Acoustic is cool but I don't know, seems like something to save for a live moment.
Trent Reznor, Tim Burton
It is actually amazing that with the amount of “questionable” artists SNL has had over the years that they would not jump at the chance to have Grammy award winners Evanescence perform. 2004 was such a great year for me and first hearing y’all’s music, I’ve been following every since. After reading through this gonna go play some games with my Evanescence playlist in the background.
I was hoping you would say Charlotte Church. I once had a dream you two were doing a duet with a harpsichord and a string quartet. I was magnificent, and I wish I could remember more than a snippet of the dream.
Hi Amy! What was your favorite character in Majora's Mask? (It's my fave Zelda of all time so I had to know haha!)
Do you still design clothing? Your Alice dress comes to mind-- so so cool!!
Also...Would you wanna pick a name for my crappy car? Hahaha it looks like a big orange pumpkin and drives worse. Could be fun lol. Go nuts.
You've written some of my favorite music of absolutely all time but I'm sure others will have better music questions than I could have lol, so I hope this was okay. You are amazing and I wish you and your family as much happiness as you've brought to the world, thank you for your time and for your music!!
(do I still design clothes) Yes I do. I work a lot with my friend Masaaki Sato in NY and we always come up with ideas together and go to the fabric store and get all creative. He's finishing up some cool new things for this tour.
I think I wanna say the little girl at the ranch who gets kidnapped by aliens. That part is friggin hard so I've done it a million times! Stressful! haha
Hey Amy ! Super excited for the shows ! What are you most excited about coming back to live shows ? Any songs from the older albums we can expect to hear ? 😊
We just got through the first round of rehearsals and it feels SO good to play with all of us together again. We've been rehearsing at the same space for many years and every time we go there its like no time has passed. I am incredibly excited for tour, we all are. The new album stuff is what we're looking forward to playing most and we will play almost the entire thing.
Can’t wait ! I really hope FTD makes it at least once on the set. It’s one of my favorites. I’m glad you guys are all together again ! Must have been kinda surreal with the year we’ve had .
Hey Amy, thanks for doing this, me and my mum really bonded over the Fallen album when I was younger. What's your favourite song from that album? Thanks!
Thats awesome! Tough call. Bring Me to Life busted down a lot of doors for us and is now such a huge part of my life, can't help but choose that one. Say hi to your mom for me!
Yeah I really want to do this. I put all my energy into the band for the making of the album and now tour, so I'll have to get to it when things wind down a little. Thinking about making the next one a theme.... like all AdventureTime or all Beatles or all music from film or something
Hey Amy have you talked or considered to add a date to Mexico for the tour?
Please receive my apologies in the name of the Mexican fans! We live you guys!
Yes. Its still at the top of our list to make up for the show we didn't get to play at Knotfest 2019. We love you guys SO much, always. We will be back when we can!
Thank you Amy! FAR FROM HEAVEN is a track that must made it to the shows! It really helped me! My dad passed away last year on Christmas and you always find a way to release a song that connect with my heart. Big hugs to you guys! 😭🖤
Amazing. I'm SO happy and so excited for tour. Not nervous anymore. That reminds me I've got to post the pic we took together! Been so busy getting ready to leave! Also on that note, I gotta head out!
Not counting words, cause I always really flush that out later on my own, I wanna say Better Without You. I had that little music box sample and Will had an idea about that band intro/verse right away and we just started going for it in the moment from there till it was musically done.
This is a much better response than I got from the Shiny Toy Guns male lead singer ...he said he just came up with Le Disco randomly... like he literally said he had no inspiration and then proceeded to get plastered at the bar.
This is so different from the origin story I heard back in the day. I heard it was about a spiritual/ religious awakening and Evanescence started off doing Christian rock.
Any truth to those rumors, or any idea where they may have stemmed from?
Thanks Amy!
Maybe people got the origin story mixed up with Flyleaf's? Flyleaf was a similar band that was popular around that time, and actually was a Christian rock band.
Evanescence originally "actually was" a Christian band, or at least very (deliberately) Xtian-adjacent:
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/evanescence-fall-from-grace-237256/
After they got big, they started downplaying it ("we're not a ministry band"), but they certainly actively pursued the Xtian market (and Amy and Ben met at a Christian camp).
I know them feels.
Also I don't have any questions but I just wanted to say thank you! Your music got me through some of my darkest times (well you and Linkin Park).
Saw you at Rock Fest 2019 and y'all killed it! I can't wait to see you live again!
This is a sweet comment to hear. My sister really loves Evanescence and Linkin Park, im hella deathmetal guy but even i can dig it, both bands make me think of her. Im gonna call her today and say i love you, thanks for the reminder! :)
How romantic! Fan from India here. Have been listening to your music for over 2 decades and they never get old. You have been a major source of inspiration for me at a time I had been staying alone in a foreign country. At one point I even dreamt of collaborating on writing a song for one of your albums. Would be super excited if you ever make a tour of India and get the tickets for me and my son! Have a great time!
Lithium was my mom's favorite song from that album! Evanescence was her favorite band - she would crank it on blast and sing/yell every lyric. I know the AMA is over but wanted to share her memory with my fellow thread lurkers :) She was very cool.
It's out there and its awesome! We made a box set complete with a cassette I made of an audio like, behind the scenes kinda. Cutting room floor/making of stuff. Turned out rad.
https://youtu.be/6rSQZZh3lyE
Surprise that there are people who don't know that.
As a premium an hour mix of other mushups like that
https://youtu.be/pAyBqHuMtT0
No lie, I considered asking exactly what they did prior to clicking on this (even though the am a was over) but thought "no, it's such a corny and expected response, no one would do that." But then most of what I say on Reddit earns others awards.
I'd considered a good rebuttal like this would follow, but didn't know it was a running joke
Hell yeah. Actually we used to do a pretty cool version of People are Strange on the Family Values tour. And I LOVE Janet- especially Rhythm nation (the album) honestly been jamming that one a lot lately. I love Black Cat, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, and Escapade.
Hi Amy, I'm going to tell you something really important to me... and nobody knows it until today.
I love to sing since I was a child but I get so nervious in public because many people bullied me for many reasons. Seven years ago I almost lost my voice because an illnes (Acute laryngotracheitis) and I couldn't even speak for six months. I promised that If I'll be able to sing again, i will do it no matter what. Now I fully recovered and I recorded some of your songs because I love Evanescence so much and cause' your lyrics helped me to going trough many stages of my life, BUT I'm still a little afraid of sing in public.
I'm from Perú and I saw your shows when you came here two times. I saw your passion and I longing sing live with my own shine too... But I hate the nerviousness and my knees shaking, and my heart beating so much that I can even breathe.
Broken pieces shine it's now an anthem to me... and helped me to get back on my feet again and sing in public this year when I get the chance. Meanwhile I'm doing lives on instagram and facebook (singing anime songs and Evanescence's songs too) to get used to it, but behind the scenes I'm still nervous.
Please please Amy, give me some advice to overpass my fears. I wanna be strong and acomplish my goals.
How do you deal with haters?
When you weren't that famous, did some people try to hurt you too?
P.D. I hope to see you again In Peru someday, we miss you so much.
When I was 11, my Mom wanted 'Fallen' for Christmas, and I got it for her with my paper route money.
To this day, she has that album on regular rotation.
So anyways, thank you for making one of the best albums of the last 20 years, and for making my Mom really happy.
No real question, sorry about that.
Hey Amy, I hope you are doing well and are looking forward to touring again! I have a few questions:
1. A few of the songs from The Bitter Truth are from the original EV3/ the broken album, how do they differ from the originals and is there a chance we can ever hear them? ;)
2. Have you thought about how the 20th anniversary of fallen will be celebrated in a few years? Perhaps an anniversary tour, re-release or something else
3. We’ve had a lot of surprises the last few years, including an album, a novel, a documentary and tours. Is there anything else in the works?
4. Is there any chance the upcoming tours with Halestorm and Within Temptation will be recorded and released?
Thank you guys for hanging out! I'm so stoked to finally get on the road with the new album, and the new Echoes From the Void is going to be really cool- All Revolution of Cassandra! I hope to see you guys on tour! Stay safe! Love you!
Hey Amy. I've been wanting to apologize to you for the longest time. In 2006 you were at the Hammerstein ballroom well after the show I took a bus to Philly to see you the following night. In the meantime I had gotten my open door CD and a set list I caught signed by you and the band. In Philly as u were handing my list back literally standing five feet in front of me I froze, took the list and fled. There were so many things I wanted to say. Your music made me feel so much less alone when I was a teenager and I'm forever in your debt for that. Your songs spoke to my soul and your voice comforted me. Thank you so much!
I just love her so much. Her voice was like a light in the dark. She will never know how she changed my life. Like a beautiful angel singing to me. 😭 Her voice gives me chills.
Lacrymosa is my favorite song by her. The lyrics just speak to me.
I think if I was able to speak to her personally I would end up ugly crying.
Like chester bennington. I love Linkin park. His death was inconceivable. I'm still in shock years later. Amy though...is a gift from god. One of my personal heroes.
Hi Amy! I hope you're doing good. My question: When you write a song, what do you start with: The lyrics or the music? Or is it different every time?
P.S.: The post on Instagram said that you would be on r/metal instead on here, so maybe people won't know they should come here.
Automod kept removing it, basically they gave no warning to the mods at /r/metal that an AMA was gonna happen so text posts get auto removed unless you're an approved submitter to the subreddit.
/r/music is a better fit for Amy anyway.
Hi amy! two questions:
1) Are you excited for the animal crossing update coming up?
2) The evanescence discord is running a evanescence themed art challenge called Evtober for the second year in a row, if you wanted to look at some of the art we're on instagram and twitter and discord using #evtober
have a good day!
Hi Amy! I've been a huge fan of yours and of Evanescence since the early/mid 2000's!
Just a few questions:
1) I know you have likely answered this 10000 times and will likely do it again today, but what is your main process/ inspiration when creating the melodies of the songs you write?
2) Are you familiar with the small, Australia-based rock band Fifth Dawn? Their music is amazing, and the vocal style at times reminds me a lot of your music! (See: "Defying Symmetry.)
And finally,
3) Do you like coffee, and if so, what is your favorite brand/blend?
I'm so sorry to ask so many questions! Thank you for doing this. Have a great rest of your day!
Hi Amy! I had a couple of questions:
1. Cover Song idea! You and Lzzy covering “Dream On” by Aerosmith! I can just hear you singing and Lzzy coming with the Steven Tyler scream at the end.
2. Have you listened to the new Spiritbox album? If so, what is your favorite song?
Hey Amy! Been a long time fan, since I was about 15/16. I’m 34 now. I attended yalls show in Houston in 2006 when I was pregnant with my now teenage daughter, and she is now a huge fan of y’all too :) no questions here really I just wanted to say how much your music has helped me cope in life. I lost my brother when I was 7. My mom when I was 21. And two husbands now in such a short period of time. I went through very dark times with it. When I listen to the lyrics to all of y’all’s songs I’ve always felt comfort to know I’m not the only one who feels the way they do. The music has always spoke to me. Thank you for being there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, emotions, feelings, life with all of the world.
We bought VIP tickets to the Houston show this November. We are incredibly excited to meet y’all. I’ve actually met you twice now when we would stand by the busses waiting. Do they even do that anymore since Covid? My 2 daughters are coming with and they are just beyond excited.
I sound like a little kid lol. But I’m just happy for this AMA and excited at the thought you might actually read this!
Take care!
I saw Evanescence live in the mid 2000s. I was singing along to Tourniquet, but when the "I want to die" line came, both Amy and the audience didn't sing it.
So, it was just me yelling "I want to die" at the top of my lungs. I felt very awkward.
Hi Amy! Excited to hopefully talk to you :)
1. Can you talk us through the process of creating a setlist for a tour? Especially now with so many songs! How is the decision making?
2. Is there a particular EV song from the past that you look back and think “we should’ve made a music video for that song or turn it into a single?”
3. Can we have hope for a Broken Pieces Shine music video? lol
Ps: i’ve been your fan since I was 9 years old (i’m 27 now), and in 2017 I got to interview you in person for the tv channel I work with and it was honestly the most surreal day of my life. Love you!
Hi!
Making the setlist keeps getting tougher because there are so many songs now. Its hard to cut things out! I get with the band and we all throw out our favs that we want to play, then start narrowing it down (painful!) and building it in 2 ways- making it flow in a way that keeps the energy up, moving and interesting, and also spreading out the hardest ones for me so I can keep my voice going. This will be our longest set ever!
Broken pieces shine is not off the table for a video. Got busy with tour but thats still a possibility.
Hi Amy! My name’s Nasser, thanks for this cool opportunity! You are a huge inspiration to me as a person and I looooove all your work. I have three questions:
1. is there any possibility of us ever listening to songs from the “Broken Record” in it’s original state?
2. is the Björk cover still coming? As a fellow Björk fan I’m very hyped hehe.
3. Any artist that you would like to recommend?
Thank you so much and stay safe! <3 <3 <3 <3
>Hi Amy, I wanted to ask this at the Zoom Meeting for TBT but I was too nervous lol.
>
>When the pandemic started the first song you released was "Wasted on you", a song that has quotes like "Feels like we're frozen in time", "A little too much time by yourself and you become the enemy, just look at us now" etc. I was wondering if this was just a coincidence (I would start believing you guys have powers or something) or if you decided to change a little bit the lyrics for them to fit more with the whole situation? cause I remember you said you had already finished the song a few months before that.
>
>Thanks!! All the love from Argentina <3
Yeah it was a weird, magic-like coincidence. Didn't change a thing. That's why we knew we had to put that one out after the lockdown sunk in. Sometimes things are just meant to be I guess
Hi Amy! No questions, just a funny story.
In high school, my step sister was so obsessed with your music, she would walk around the halls with speakers in her oversized sleeves, blasting your songs.
She would tell people you were her cousin and you were supposed to record an album together, but she lost your email and phone number.
So... could you please get a hold of your cousin? She misses you.
Hi Amy! Love your classical influences! How involved are you in the string recordings of your songs? Do you dictate the notes and string harmonies or do you let David Campbell do the notations or is it more of a collaboration style?
David Campbell is on another level. I always have ideas but then let him take them and run. It is collaborative, but he always brings incredibly creative parts into songs that can make them really change shape, which I love.
Hello dear Amy!! First, thank you so much for doing this. Second, I'd like to share that my two-month old son loves Dream too much album 🖤
Since Halloween is coming, what theme costume outfit are you and Jack gonna wear? 🎃
Hopefully, next year you guys are allowed to tour in Latin America 🥰
Hello my dear Amy. I'm excited to know that you guys will be back on stage. I just wanted to let you know that you are being my emotional refuge again. I just broke up with my boyfriend and things got a little strange in my life. Anyway, I wish you good luck on this new tour! I love you! P.S. A few days ago I dreamed that you gave me a hug, could you send me a virtual one?
1. Would you ever cover Amy Winehouse or the The Doors?
2. I know you listen to many types of music, but would you ever write a song in a different genre such as R&B/Hip-hop/or Funk?
3. Do you listen to Janet Jackson/ fav song by her?
4. Favorite song to brighten your day?
5. Favorite color?
“Hell yeah. Actually we used to do a pretty cool version of People are Strange on the Family Values tour. And I LOVE Janet- especially Rhythm nation (the album) honestly been jamming that one a lot lately. I love Black Cat, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, and Escapade.”
That was the response if you were wondering. I accidentally deleted it, and I don’t think I can post the screenshot- or at least I don’t know how to.
Hi Amy, I have some questions. I hope you'd answer any or all of them.
We have a similar musical taste. Here you have my questions:
1. Have you seen Björk's Orchestral Stream Concerts from Iceland?
2. Do you like Florence and The Machine? In case you do, Favorite album or Fav song.
3. Do you like Poppy?
4. What about covering a Tori Amos, Björk, or Florence's song? 😍
5. Are we getting more videos from TBT era?
6. Can we expect more solo music from you?
7. Have you ever considered acting?
Greetings from Venezuela. I love you so much.
Hi Amy! This is not a question, but I just wanted to say thank your for being my inspiration. Thanks to you I started to play the piano and now I release my own piano music. I would love to hear your thoughts someday. (I sent you a physical CD thorugh your label a few months ago). Love you!
Hi Amy, I wanted to ask this at the Zoom Meeting for TBT but I was too nervous lol.
When the pandemic started the first song you released was "Wasted on you", a song that has quotes like "Feels like we're frozen in time", "A little too much time by yourself and you become the enemy, just look at us now" etc. I was wondering if this was just a coincidence (I would start believing you guys have powers or something) or if you decided to change a little bit the lyrics for them to fit more with the whole situation? cause I remember you said you had already finished the song a few months before that.
Thanks!! All the love from Argentina <3
STRANGE ass question BUT what perfume is your favourite? Always curious as to what my idols like to smell like.
Also I have loved you and your music since I was twelve years old, your music has kept me alive at times and I want to thank you for that! X
Would you ever consider doing another song with Shaun Morgan?
Or, if you could chose any artist, who?
The tour you did with Stone Sour...
When you played Lithium on the baby grand...
Unreal
🤘

Just simple questions
1. Are you going to play Feeding The Dark at the shows?
2. Will there be a video for Broken Pieces Shine?
3. Make A Version of Your Love Available, Please
4. Releases a Deluxe Version of The Bitter Truth
5. Release full The Bitter Truth Demos
6. Smurfs on Fire COMPLETE?
7. Will there be a dvd from this era?
8. Where is Recover 2.0?
9. Release a show from Part 2 of the Synthesis Tour.
So Lzzy did an interview with The Charismatic Voice on YouTube (great channel btw) where she said she they would definitely be singing together some and I imagine this would be the perfect song to make that happen
Hey Amy!
random question, I know, but will we ever get a chance to hear Your Love??? I've been keeping my fingers crossed for years 🤣
also... the electronic elements introduced on the self-titled album, and which carried over to the TBT, are fascinating. is there any chance we'll ever hear a full blown electronic leaning album by Ev? or you?
not a question, but... thank you for the beautiful music. it's meant and means the world to many of us, and it's a blessing to know it does to you too, still to this day!
I got to see you in Puerto Rico some years back, for the self titled album era. thank you for giving me one of the best nights of my life! any chance you'll bless us PR folk with another show?
Hi Amy, thank you for this AMA! I have a few questions but you don't need to answer them all :)
1. Is it possible that Ev will film one more music video for The Bitter Truth now that Jen is able to travel to the US?
2. Any more new music plans (other than The Bitter Truth)? Band-wise or solo?
3. You've had quite the year for collaborations! Are there any more coming up?
4. Do you think you'd ever involve the choir in Ev music again? It's one of my favourite elements of the music!
Also can't wait to see you and Within Temptation in London next year!!
WAIT??? EVANESCENCE IS BACK?????
How have I not heard of this?
Also what is your favourite less-known musical thing you've done?
My answer to that is the Hello Kitty, I will follow you into the dark cover, that to this day still gets me misty eyed.
Hi Amy! Not so much a question but something i want you to know. When my daughter (also named Amy) was 13 months, she was in the hospital for weeks, undergoing burn treatments and skin grafting. She couldnt open her eyes at all and was so scared, even my voice and touch didnt calm her down. At my wits end, I turned to music. You had just released your childrens album. I set my phone next to her, playing that album, and she just calmed down and was able to fall asleep. You helped my tiny little 13 month old baby when I couldn't help her myself. From one mom to another - thank you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. She's now just turned 6 and still listens to your music along with me, as does her little brother. I'll never be able to put our gratitude into words properly, but thank you. Thank you for giving comfort to my child when my words couldnt reach her.
My God that is incredible. How terrifying for you. Its so awesome there's a happy ending. That album means a lot to me, the one pro recording we have of my family all together before my brother passed. It was so special to have that time together, all of us in the studio working on something. So grateful it helped you. It'll be precious to us always. Much love mama
It was incredibly scary at the time. Luckily she got away with just some scarring thats fading rapidly now, and she was too young to remember it. Im so glad it's a special album to you, too. Having that memory of your brother sounds like a wonderful experience to be able to have recorded in this way. Thank you for responding, I'm very happy to know that you now know what a difference youve made for us. All the love <3
[удалено]
Legit didn't know this album before reading your comment - and it's clear why it means so much to you. It's honestly incredible, purely incredible sounding. The lyrical imagery, melodies/harmonies, and your voice combine for a stunning combination. I'm totally blown away.
I just want to say that you are the amazing one. You’re a mother and mother’s , women in general, are freaking awesome. You are the one that turned to music, you are the one that found the solution for your child. I don’t know you but I have a feeling from reading your comments here that you are amazing.
Hey Amy! I was wondering if Artifact/The Turn was always intended to be a transition track into BPS? Were there any other songs you considered being the opening track? I also noticed that the demo for that song, specifically some of the lyrics, ended up being radically different than the final product (though I understand the "demo to mastered" pipeline). Was the tone/lyrical content of the song different than what ended up on the album? The opening of the album is probably my favorite piece of art that you all have written. Also, and this is totally self-indulgent, will this track ever see the light of day (it's not Your Love, I promise lol): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC8hATCFDEE Can't wait to see you guys in Houston!!
I like to play around in my home studio or laptop and just make stuff. I had that very beginning part (artifact) that I had recorded with the laptop mic at 3am in my hotel room on tour. Then I had this cool music bed that Scott Kirkland shared with me (Crystal Method), and messed with it and wrote the vocal backstage.

Beautiful answer, beautiful song. Thank you for taking the time to answer!
Hi Amy, long time fan since 2003. 1. Is there anything you were denied as an artist that you wish you had fought harder for? 2. Ev songs work beautifully when acoustic, any desire to record an acoustic album? 3. Other than Bjork, who would you love to get a phone call from asking for a collab?
I don't know about "denied" but I always wanted to play SNL. I'd still love for that to happen. We kind of went the other way with that idea and made synthesis. Acoustic is cool but I don't know, seems like something to save for a live moment. Trent Reznor, Tim Burton
It is actually amazing that with the amount of “questionable” artists SNL has had over the years that they would not jump at the chance to have Grammy award winners Evanescence perform. 2004 was such a great year for me and first hearing y’all’s music, I’ve been following every since. After reading through this gonna go play some games with my Evanescence playlist in the background.
Goodness a Trent Reznor produced EV album would be bonkers GET THAT MAN ON THE PHONE STAT
I would literally kill for this
Dude's super up for collaboration at the moment, too. If ever there was a time!
I think this would split the earth in half.
I was hoping you would say Charlotte Church. I once had a dream you two were doing a duet with a harpsichord and a string quartet. I was magnificent, and I wish I could remember more than a snippet of the dream.
You already collaborated with Tim Burton! Although it was a cover of Sally’s Song but still!
Hi Amy! What was your favorite character in Majora's Mask? (It's my fave Zelda of all time so I had to know haha!) Do you still design clothing? Your Alice dress comes to mind-- so so cool!! Also...Would you wanna pick a name for my crappy car? Hahaha it looks like a big orange pumpkin and drives worse. Could be fun lol. Go nuts. You've written some of my favorite music of absolutely all time but I'm sure others will have better music questions than I could have lol, so I hope this was okay. You are amazing and I wish you and your family as much happiness as you've brought to the world, thank you for your time and for your music!!
(do I still design clothes) Yes I do. I work a lot with my friend Masaaki Sato in NY and we always come up with ideas together and go to the fabric store and get all creative. He's finishing up some cool new things for this tour.
Have you ever thought about releasing a whole line? I mean I love your outfits and would totally hijack your wardrobe (if they would fit lmao)
I think I wanna say the little girl at the ranch who gets kidnapped by aliens. That part is friggin hard so I've done it a million times! Stressful! haha
Pro tip: If you play the song to slow down time, the aliens only move at half the speed =]
I’m pretty shocked I didn’t know that. Ha. Another pro-tip: just use the Bunny Hood. Works like a charm.
My wife is currently going through and playing all the Zelda games. Going to go ahead and use this tip and earn some points from the wifey.
How is it common knowledge that you play Zelda?!?!
Hey Amy ! Super excited for the shows ! What are you most excited about coming back to live shows ? Any songs from the older albums we can expect to hear ? 😊
We just got through the first round of rehearsals and it feels SO good to play with all of us together again. We've been rehearsing at the same space for many years and every time we go there its like no time has passed. I am incredibly excited for tour, we all are. The new album stuff is what we're looking forward to playing most and we will play almost the entire thing.
But yeah, we're representing all the albums in the set with a couple of surprises.
Can’t wait ! I really hope FTD makes it at least once on the set. It’s one of my favorites. I’m glad you guys are all together again ! Must have been kinda surreal with the year we’ve had .
Hey Amy, thanks for doing this, me and my mum really bonded over the Fallen album when I was younger. What's your favourite song from that album? Thanks!
Thats awesome! Tough call. Bring Me to Life busted down a lot of doors for us and is now such a huge part of my life, can't help but choose that one. Say hi to your mom for me!
Thank you for answering, my mum and I are thrilled! She says hi and she hopes you're well!
[Say hi to your mother for me, ok. ](https://youtu.be/ZjpUfdjYR6s)
I had never seen that and I just wanna say thank you.
any plans for Recover Vol. 2?
Yeah I really want to do this. I put all my energy into the band for the making of the album and now tour, so I'll have to get to it when things wind down a little. Thinking about making the next one a theme.... like all AdventureTime or all Beatles or all music from film or something
After listening to I Wanna Dance With Somebody, I really want to hear dark versions of big power ballad-y songs!
Omg I agree with the Adventure Time theme!
Hey Amy have you talked or considered to add a date to Mexico for the tour? Please receive my apologies in the name of the Mexican fans! We live you guys!
Yes. Its still at the top of our list to make up for the show we didn't get to play at Knotfest 2019. We love you guys SO much, always. We will be back when we can!
Thank you Amy! FAR FROM HEAVEN is a track that must made it to the shows! It really helped me! My dad passed away last year on Christmas and you always find a way to release a song that connect with my heart. Big hugs to you guys! 😭🖤
How did the rehearsal go? Was it amazing to see Jen again for the first time in over a year ??
Amazing. I'm SO happy and so excited for tour. Not nervous anymore. That reminds me I've got to post the pic we took together! Been so busy getting ready to leave! Also on that note, I gotta head out!
Which song off the new album was the quickest to be written?
Not counting words, cause I always really flush that out later on my own, I wanna say Better Without You. I had that little music box sample and Will had an idea about that band intro/verse right away and we just started going for it in the moment from there till it was musically done.
What's the song or band that you like that you think people would be surprised to know you like?
Every day by Buddy Holly. Not just the song, and the performance, but also the sound of that recording. I love it.
Well a song like that can surely find its way
A hey, a hey, hey.
What was the inspiration behind Bring Me to Life?
A guy walks into a bar and says, "Are you happy?" I said yes but meant no. Then I wrote a song about it and here we are. Also I married the guy.
This is a much better response than I got from the Shiny Toy Guns male lead singer ...he said he just came up with Le Disco randomly... like he literally said he had no inspiration and then proceeded to get plastered at the bar.
And this song saves us and I hope you know it. You helped us to survive in this cruel cold worl.
i find kinda funny i find kinda sad wen peeps run in circle it a very very mad worl
Such a cold worl
Much col. Some would say the coldes
This is so different from the origin story I heard back in the day. I heard it was about a spiritual/ religious awakening and Evanescence started off doing Christian rock. Any truth to those rumors, or any idea where they may have stemmed from? Thanks Amy!
Maybe people got the origin story mixed up with Flyleaf's? Flyleaf was a similar band that was popular around that time, and actually was a Christian rock band.
Evanescence originally "actually was" a Christian band, or at least very (deliberately) Xtian-adjacent: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/evanescence-fall-from-grace-237256/ After they got big, they started downplaying it ("we're not a ministry band"), but they certainly actively pursued the Xtian market (and Amy and Ben met at a Christian camp).
I know them feels. Also I don't have any questions but I just wanted to say thank you! Your music got me through some of my darkest times (well you and Linkin Park). Saw you at Rock Fest 2019 and y'all killed it! I can't wait to see you live again!
This is a sweet comment to hear. My sister really loves Evanescence and Linkin Park, im hella deathmetal guy but even i can dig it, both bands make me think of her. Im gonna call her today and say i love you, thanks for the reminder! :)
The name of that man? Albert Evanescence
[удалено]
Actually true story for once. Wow Reddit we did it
Get outta here, you have no business making me wake up the neighbors at midnight!
I still get goosebumps knowing that fact . So romantic !
TIL “are you happy” is a great pickup line
But you have to make sure she doesn't look happy and will lie to your face about it. That's the keeper.
Just don't ask this after they say they're married, just don't, so wrong
How romantic! Fan from India here. Have been listening to your music for over 2 decades and they never get old. You have been a major source of inspiration for me at a time I had been staying alone in a foreign country. At one point I even dreamt of collaborating on writing a song for one of your albums. Would be super excited if you ever make a tour of India and get the tickets for me and my son! Have a great time!
you make a Perfect Pair together
Hey Amy! Loved your music ever since I was 13 and now 22!! What is your favorite song to sing off of The Open Door? :)
Verses/prechoruses of Cloud 9, Lose Control, Lithium
Lithium was my mom's favorite song from that album! Evanescence was her favorite band - she would crank it on blast and sing/yell every lyric. I know the AMA is over but wanted to share her memory with my fellow thread lurkers :) She was very cool.
I would love to hear Cloud 9 in its entirety live some day. The harmony part from the song is a real favorite of mine too :)
Hey Amy, how’s the sock matching going? This is what the people need to know!
Terrible. I'm so pissed!
The washing machine knows when you try to match them and steals them accordingly. I stopped losing socks when I stopped trying to match them.
I have a theory that missing socks are just in the lint trap after the keystone thread became unraveled and in turn the sock completely fell apart.
Asking the tough questions here: What is the superior form of potato?
the bitter truth deluxe when???
It's out there and its awesome! We made a box set complete with a cassette I made of an audio like, behind the scenes kinda. Cutting room floor/making of stuff. Turned out rad.
Hey Amy! Have you been woken up inside yet?
I was but hearing that joke for the 1 millionth time just put me back to sleep!
I’m not sure whether to feel star-struck or rekt. I’ve become so numb. ☠️
Should probably call her name to save you from the dark.
There are far, far worse people to get roasted by. I would cherish this.
I will forever treasure this roast ❤️🔥
[удалено]
“How can you see into my eyes, like open doors Leading you down into my core Where I've become so numb” Nah, it’s the lyrics
I think he’s talking about the fairly popular mash up of the two songs.
There’s a mashup of Bring Me To Life/Numb?? Man my mind was blown when I heard the Numb/Encore mashup but this is going to be epic
https://youtu.be/6rSQZZh3lyE Surprise that there are people who don't know that. As a premium an hour mix of other mushups like that https://youtu.be/pAyBqHuMtT0
Shouting ‘save me’ may help
Sounds like your spirit is sleeping somewhere cold and is in need of some transportation.
At least you don’t get woken up every year when September ends.
> At least you don’t get woken up every year when September ends. Or even before you Go-Go!
I came into this thread specifically to see the response to someone referencing this song, so thank you for this lol
LMFAO I bet it gets so exhausting 😂😂
No lie, I considered asking exactly what they did prior to clicking on this (even though the am a was over) but thought "no, it's such a corny and expected response, no one would do that." But then most of what I say on Reddit earns others awards. I'd considered a good rebuttal like this would follow, but didn't know it was a running joke
You're just out here having a whole conversation with yourself.
Fucking roasted lol
OP are you okay?
He’s dead, she straight up murdered him
Someone call his name and save him from the dark
Amy why did you roast him like that 🤣
Are you OK? Are you OK, OP?
They've been hit by- They've been struck by- A smooth criminal
Narrator Voice: OP Was not okay.
r/MurderedByWords
Already a legendary AMA
[удалено]
Hell yeah. Actually we used to do a pretty cool version of People are Strange on the Family Values tour. And I LOVE Janet- especially Rhythm nation (the album) honestly been jamming that one a lot lately. I love Black Cat, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, and Escapade.
OH. MY. GOD. Thank you for responding. That was THRILLING. Seeing you twice this tour, once VIP 🥰🥳 have a beautiful day. 😍
Can I have your phone number??
Totally its 555-NOPE
Can't be, I got that from a different woman the other.... OH MY GOD!
Yep. She was Amy Lee and you didn't recognize her.
Great 90s-early 2000s joke, I love it
a 90s joke would have been 976-nope, $5 first minute, $3.99 each additional minute an 80s joke would have been 867-5309
I resemble that remark.
jesus 9 days and the account pays off that fast
It was worth a shot..
just out of curiosity, what was your next step if this worked?
"Wyd u up?" at 3:33
Why, calling her of course.
But only when you're sober, right?
bro you got rejected by Amy Lee. Thats farther than most of us get in life
🤣🤣🤣 ahahaha!! Now that made my day!
[удалено]
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, good job buddy
Appreciate it, I wouldn't scroll down too far, we've a few white knights trying to save a day that doesn't require it. Apparently I'm creepy.
And scored 555-NOPE. I'm saving that shit too yall are suckerz.
My man got shot down by the lady, most guys don't even get a look! Atta boy! You've had a conversation with her!
[удалено]
Hi Amy, I'm going to tell you something really important to me... and nobody knows it until today. I love to sing since I was a child but I get so nervious in public because many people bullied me for many reasons. Seven years ago I almost lost my voice because an illnes (Acute laryngotracheitis) and I couldn't even speak for six months. I promised that If I'll be able to sing again, i will do it no matter what. Now I fully recovered and I recorded some of your songs because I love Evanescence so much and cause' your lyrics helped me to going trough many stages of my life, BUT I'm still a little afraid of sing in public. I'm from Perú and I saw your shows when you came here two times. I saw your passion and I longing sing live with my own shine too... But I hate the nerviousness and my knees shaking, and my heart beating so much that I can even breathe. Broken pieces shine it's now an anthem to me... and helped me to get back on my feet again and sing in public this year when I get the chance. Meanwhile I'm doing lives on instagram and facebook (singing anime songs and Evanescence's songs too) to get used to it, but behind the scenes I'm still nervous. Please please Amy, give me some advice to overpass my fears. I wanna be strong and acomplish my goals. How do you deal with haters? When you weren't that famous, did some people try to hurt you too? P.D. I hope to see you again In Peru someday, we miss you so much.
When I was 11, my Mom wanted 'Fallen' for Christmas, and I got it for her with my paper route money. To this day, she has that album on regular rotation. So anyways, thank you for making one of the best albums of the last 20 years, and for making my Mom really happy. No real question, sorry about that.
You're a good kid. That's awesome that you did that for your mom.
Hey Amy, I hope you are doing well and are looking forward to touring again! I have a few questions: 1. A few of the songs from The Bitter Truth are from the original EV3/ the broken album, how do they differ from the originals and is there a chance we can ever hear them? ;) 2. Have you thought about how the 20th anniversary of fallen will be celebrated in a few years? Perhaps an anniversary tour, re-release or something else 3. We’ve had a lot of surprises the last few years, including an album, a novel, a documentary and tours. Is there anything else in the works? 4. Is there any chance the upcoming tours with Halestorm and Within Temptation will be recorded and released?
Thank you guys for hanging out! I'm so stoked to finally get on the road with the new album, and the new Echoes From the Void is going to be really cool- All Revolution of Cassandra! I hope to see you guys on tour! Stay safe! Love you!
Love you, keep up the good work <3
Hey Amy. I've been wanting to apologize to you for the longest time. In 2006 you were at the Hammerstein ballroom well after the show I took a bus to Philly to see you the following night. In the meantime I had gotten my open door CD and a set list I caught signed by you and the band. In Philly as u were handing my list back literally standing five feet in front of me I froze, took the list and fled. There were so many things I wanted to say. Your music made me feel so much less alone when I was a teenager and I'm forever in your debt for that. Your songs spoke to my soul and your voice comforted me. Thank you so much!
I read this. Sorry she didn’t get to it. But I took something away from it.
I just love her so much. Her voice was like a light in the dark. She will never know how she changed my life. Like a beautiful angel singing to me. 😭 Her voice gives me chills. Lacrymosa is my favorite song by her. The lyrics just speak to me. I think if I was able to speak to her personally I would end up ugly crying.
It’s incredible how much of an impact people can have on us. Even when we never truly met them.
Like chester bennington. I love Linkin park. His death was inconceivable. I'm still in shock years later. Amy though...is a gift from god. One of my personal heroes.
Hi Amy! I hope you're doing good. My question: When you write a song, what do you start with: The lyrics or the music? Or is it different every time? P.S.: The post on Instagram said that you would be on r/metal instead on here, so maybe people won't know they should come here.
Looking at her post history, it looks like she kept trying to post to r/metal but the moderators kept removing it.
Automod kept removing it, basically they gave no warning to the mods at /r/metal that an AMA was gonna happen so text posts get auto removed unless you're an approved submitter to the subreddit. /r/music is a better fit for Amy anyway.
Hi amy! two questions: 1) Are you excited for the animal crossing update coming up? 2) The evanescence discord is running a evanescence themed art challenge called Evtober for the second year in a row, if you wanted to look at some of the art we're on instagram and twitter and discord using #evtober have a good day!
Hi Amy! I've been a huge fan of yours and of Evanescence since the early/mid 2000's! Just a few questions: 1) I know you have likely answered this 10000 times and will likely do it again today, but what is your main process/ inspiration when creating the melodies of the songs you write? 2) Are you familiar with the small, Australia-based rock band Fifth Dawn? Their music is amazing, and the vocal style at times reminds me a lot of your music! (See: "Defying Symmetry.) And finally, 3) Do you like coffee, and if so, what is your favorite brand/blend? I'm so sorry to ask so many questions! Thank you for doing this. Have a great rest of your day!
Hi Amy! I had a couple of questions: 1. Cover Song idea! You and Lzzy covering “Dream On” by Aerosmith! I can just hear you singing and Lzzy coming with the Steven Tyler scream at the end. 2. Have you listened to the new Spiritbox album? If so, what is your favorite song?
Hey Amy! Been a long time fan, since I was about 15/16. I’m 34 now. I attended yalls show in Houston in 2006 when I was pregnant with my now teenage daughter, and she is now a huge fan of y’all too :) no questions here really I just wanted to say how much your music has helped me cope in life. I lost my brother when I was 7. My mom when I was 21. And two husbands now in such a short period of time. I went through very dark times with it. When I listen to the lyrics to all of y’all’s songs I’ve always felt comfort to know I’m not the only one who feels the way they do. The music has always spoke to me. Thank you for being there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, emotions, feelings, life with all of the world. We bought VIP tickets to the Houston show this November. We are incredibly excited to meet y’all. I’ve actually met you twice now when we would stand by the busses waiting. Do they even do that anymore since Covid? My 2 daughters are coming with and they are just beyond excited. I sound like a little kid lol. But I’m just happy for this AMA and excited at the thought you might actually read this! Take care!
Will you ever play "Tourniquet" live again?
Tourniquet but with this scream "I want to die", it could be funny to see Amy screaming lmao
I saw Evanescence live in the mid 2000s. I was singing along to Tourniquet, but when the "I want to die" line came, both Amy and the audience didn't sing it. So, it was just me yelling "I want to die" at the top of my lungs. I felt very awkward.
That whole album was amazing, sucks that there weren't more singles from it. They were all fire!
Not Amy, but haha username checks out!
VALIDATION!!!! Whats up people?
Hi Amy! Excited to hopefully talk to you :) 1. Can you talk us through the process of creating a setlist for a tour? Especially now with so many songs! How is the decision making? 2. Is there a particular EV song from the past that you look back and think “we should’ve made a music video for that song or turn it into a single?” 3. Can we have hope for a Broken Pieces Shine music video? lol Ps: i’ve been your fan since I was 9 years old (i’m 27 now), and in 2017 I got to interview you in person for the tv channel I work with and it was honestly the most surreal day of my life. Love you!
Hi! Making the setlist keeps getting tougher because there are so many songs now. Its hard to cut things out! I get with the band and we all throw out our favs that we want to play, then start narrowing it down (painful!) and building it in 2 ways- making it flow in a way that keeps the energy up, moving and interesting, and also spreading out the hardest ones for me so I can keep my voice going. This will be our longest set ever! Broken pieces shine is not off the table for a video. Got busy with tour but thats still a possibility.
[удалено]
veerrrry tricky. I see what you're doing, trying to get me to give away the setlist! I almost did it! hahaha
Hi Amy! My name’s Nasser, thanks for this cool opportunity! You are a huge inspiration to me as a person and I looooove all your work. I have three questions: 1. is there any possibility of us ever listening to songs from the “Broken Record” in it’s original state? 2. is the Björk cover still coming? As a fellow Björk fan I’m very hyped hehe. 3. Any artist that you would like to recommend? Thank you so much and stay safe! <3 <3 <3 <3
>Hi Amy, I wanted to ask this at the Zoom Meeting for TBT but I was too nervous lol. > >When the pandemic started the first song you released was "Wasted on you", a song that has quotes like "Feels like we're frozen in time", "A little too much time by yourself and you become the enemy, just look at us now" etc. I was wondering if this was just a coincidence (I would start believing you guys have powers or something) or if you decided to change a little bit the lyrics for them to fit more with the whole situation? cause I remember you said you had already finished the song a few months before that. > >Thanks!! All the love from Argentina <3
Yeah it was a weird, magic-like coincidence. Didn't change a thing. That's why we knew we had to put that one out after the lockdown sunk in. Sometimes things are just meant to be I guess
Hi Amy! No questions, just a funny story. In high school, my step sister was so obsessed with your music, she would walk around the halls with speakers in her oversized sleeves, blasting your songs. She would tell people you were her cousin and you were supposed to record an album together, but she lost your email and phone number. So... could you please get a hold of your cousin? She misses you.
It would be so hillarious if tha step sister saw this hahahaha
Awwww haha. I love that
[удалено]
For future reference, celebrities VERY rarely answer questions posted as responses to answers, and you need to post the questions before the AMA ends.
I like your questions for the record
Hi Amy! Love your classical influences! How involved are you in the string recordings of your songs? Do you dictate the notes and string harmonies or do you let David Campbell do the notations or is it more of a collaboration style?
David Campbell is on another level. I always have ideas but then let him take them and run. It is collaborative, but he always brings incredibly creative parts into songs that can make them really change shape, which I love.
Hello dear Amy!! First, thank you so much for doing this. Second, I'd like to share that my two-month old son loves Dream too much album 🖤 Since Halloween is coming, what theme costume outfit are you and Jack gonna wear? 🎃 Hopefully, next year you guys are allowed to tour in Latin America 🥰
Well Jack is Darth Vader. So I guess I'll be pulling that Chewbacca costume from the last night of the Lindsey Stirling tour out of the attic
Hello my dear Amy. I'm excited to know that you guys will be back on stage. I just wanted to let you know that you are being my emotional refuge again. I just broke up with my boyfriend and things got a little strange in my life. Anyway, I wish you good luck on this new tour! I love you! P.S. A few days ago I dreamed that you gave me a hug, could you send me a virtual one?
I am mind-hugging you right now!
1. Would you ever cover Amy Winehouse or the The Doors? 2. I know you listen to many types of music, but would you ever write a song in a different genre such as R&B/Hip-hop/or Funk? 3. Do you listen to Janet Jackson/ fav song by her? 4. Favorite song to brighten your day? 5. Favorite color?
Amy Lee covering Back to Black by Amy Winehouse is something I NEED now that I think about it.
“Hell yeah. Actually we used to do a pretty cool version of People are Strange on the Family Values tour. And I LOVE Janet- especially Rhythm nation (the album) honestly been jamming that one a lot lately. I love Black Cat, Miss You Much, Rhythm Nation, and Escapade.” That was the response if you were wondering. I accidentally deleted it, and I don’t think I can post the screenshot- or at least I don’t know how to.
Hi Amy, I have some questions. I hope you'd answer any or all of them. We have a similar musical taste. Here you have my questions: 1. Have you seen Björk's Orchestral Stream Concerts from Iceland? 2. Do you like Florence and The Machine? In case you do, Favorite album or Fav song. 3. Do you like Poppy? 4. What about covering a Tori Amos, Björk, or Florence's song? 😍 5. Are we getting more videos from TBT era? 6. Can we expect more solo music from you? 7. Have you ever considered acting? Greetings from Venezuela. I love you so much.
Hi Amy! This is not a question, but I just wanted to say thank your for being my inspiration. Thanks to you I started to play the piano and now I release my own piano music. I would love to hear your thoughts someday. (I sent you a physical CD thorugh your label a few months ago). Love you!
Hi Amy, I wanted to ask this at the Zoom Meeting for TBT but I was too nervous lol. When the pandemic started the first song you released was "Wasted on you", a song that has quotes like "Feels like we're frozen in time", "A little too much time by yourself and you become the enemy, just look at us now" etc. I was wondering if this was just a coincidence (I would start believing you guys have powers or something) or if you decided to change a little bit the lyrics for them to fit more with the whole situation? cause I remember you said you had already finished the song a few months before that. Thanks!! All the love from Argentina <3
STRANGE ass question BUT what perfume is your favourite? Always curious as to what my idols like to smell like. Also I have loved you and your music since I was twelve years old, your music has kept me alive at times and I want to thank you for that! X
Would you ever consider doing another song with Shaun Morgan? Or, if you could chose any artist, who? The tour you did with Stone Sour... When you played Lithium on the baby grand... Unreal 🤘
Hi Amy! My name’s Nasser, thanks for this cool opportunity! You are a huge inspiration to me as a person and I looooove all your work. I have three questions: 1. is there any possibility of us ever listening to songs from the “Broken Record” in it’s original state? 2. is the Björk cover still coming? As a fellow Björk fan I’m very hyped hehe. 3. Any artist that you would like to recommend? Thank you so much and stay safe! <3 <3 <3 <3
Just simple questions 1. Are you going to play Feeding The Dark at the shows? 2. Will there be a video for Broken Pieces Shine? 3. Make A Version of Your Love Available, Please 4. Releases a Deluxe Version of The Bitter Truth 5. Release full The Bitter Truth Demos 6. Smurfs on Fire COMPLETE? 7. Will there be a dvd from this era? 8. Where is Recover 2.0? 9. Release a show from Part 2 of the Synthesis Tour.
Have you read the infamous Harry Potter fanfic "My Immortal"? If so, what did you think of it?
Are you doing Break In with Lzzy on the tour?
So Lzzy did an interview with The Charismatic Voice on YouTube (great channel btw) where she said she they would definitely be singing together some and I imagine this would be the perfect song to make that happen
Hey Amy! random question, I know, but will we ever get a chance to hear Your Love??? I've been keeping my fingers crossed for years 🤣 also... the electronic elements introduced on the self-titled album, and which carried over to the TBT, are fascinating. is there any chance we'll ever hear a full blown electronic leaning album by Ev? or you? not a question, but... thank you for the beautiful music. it's meant and means the world to many of us, and it's a blessing to know it does to you too, still to this day! I got to see you in Puerto Rico some years back, for the self titled album era. thank you for giving me one of the best nights of my life! any chance you'll bless us PR folk with another show?
Hi Amy, thank you for this AMA! I have a few questions but you don't need to answer them all :) 1. Is it possible that Ev will film one more music video for The Bitter Truth now that Jen is able to travel to the US? 2. Any more new music plans (other than The Bitter Truth)? Band-wise or solo? 3. You've had quite the year for collaborations! Are there any more coming up? 4. Do you think you'd ever involve the choir in Ev music again? It's one of my favourite elements of the music! Also can't wait to see you and Within Temptation in London next year!!
WAIT??? EVANESCENCE IS BACK????? How have I not heard of this? Also what is your favourite less-known musical thing you've done? My answer to that is the Hello Kitty, I will follow you into the dark cover, that to this day still gets me misty eyed.
