Evanescence?

Winged Angel... at the start of the thread you posted that this anything about Evanesence. It can be bad or good. You opened it up for discussion

what i cannot grasp is that everyone here who dislike evanescence say that they are crap!i want to know,in what position are you exactly to say that?are you some reknown musician or artist?

No, I am not. But i have about 8 years of guitar including theory. I can say that atleast the guitar playing is mediocre.

i think evanescence rock and definately have potential to be a great band

So first you say we have no right to say they suck because we have no talent. But its alright for you to say the rock because you have no talent. You are being a hypocrite. Because unless your this amazing artist or producer, your shooting yourself in the foot.

i said "i think". i didn't say it's a fact that they are great.it is a mere opinion.and yes, i have no experience with music whatsoever,but that doesn't really matter as long as I enjoy whatever type of music.u guys,even if u are trained in music as u stated, that doesn't make u authoroty in anyway.Your comments will end up as opinions after all.N

and it is our opinion that they suck. They came out after the whole faze of new metal, and they have no orginality at all. A lead singer that has a voice does not mean its orginal.

Theyre a band cashing in on the insecurities of teenagers, by creating "deep and meaningful" music, theyre trying to attract the attention of the "im depressed, my life sucks" kids that seem to be around soo much nowadays.....Linkin Park did it, so now Evanescence are trying..

Korn also did it. Nirvana and a crap load of other bands. BUT WAIT, THEY HAVE A CHICK SINGER... now they rock 🙄

guys who kowns evanscene's home page ??

and you could argue that she doesn't have that great of a voice at all. She has a very PRETTY voice, but she doesn't have the powerful lungs that a good rock vocalist needs. And I can think of five other bands off the top of my head that have really good vocalists.

and punkyhermy, you said: "Some of us think they are crap and know nothing about music." which would certainly imply that in your opinion, everybody who thinks they are crap knows nothing about music. I know plenty about music. I've played the piano since I was in first grade, and the cello since fourth. I still don't like Evanescence.

Well, Punky, as I've said before, I've been classically trained in piano. I have 8 years of music theory and comprehension under my belt. I know crap when I hear it. Sure, it may be catchy, but that doesn't mean it's good.

"Wake me up inside.
Call my name and save me from the dark."

Is she kidding? It's like she went to her seventh grade diary for lyrics and came out with the above drivel. It's absurd. It's insulting (to my intelligence, anyway). It's crap.

TM, thanks for quoting me. Nice sig pic.

-Smitten Kitten-

she does have a good voice in my opinion and not alot of bands have a girl singer who can sing like that. heck i didnt like rock until i heard her. stop being mean and leave that band alone please. i like them. you want to hear a good song with her voice in it but featuring a different band? then go to http://www.punishermusic.com/

yeah!!!!!!!!i LOVE that song!!!!it's sooo...BATMAN!

the lyrics are bad you say...then would you educate me with what YOU'D consider good lyrics?!

Nine Inch Nails--"The Becoming"

I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming
the me that you know had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore
the me that you know doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore
all pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness
that me that you know used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when I'm right with you I'm so far away
I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all my bad parts
I don't want to listen but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away

it won't give up it wants me dead
goddamn this noise inside my head

Tool--"Eulogy"

He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
(We'll miss him. 2x)
He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
(We'll miss him. 2x)
(We're gonna miss him. 2x)

So long!
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud.
(We'll miss him. 2x)

Ranting and pointing his finger
at everything but his heart.
(We'll miss him. 2x)
(We're gonna miss him. 2x)

No way
to recall
what it was that you had said to me,
like I care at all.
But he was sooo loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
and so loud.

You, could be, the one, who saves, me from, my own, existence.

Rage Against the Machine--"Calm Like a Bomb"

I be walkin god like a dog
My narrative fearless
Word war returns to burn
Like Baldwin home from Paris, Uh
Like steel from a furnace
I was born landless
Yes its tha native son
Born of Zapatas guns
Stroll through the shanties
And tha cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry
But with different last names
The vultures robbin everything
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point on the globe
Yes tha pictures tha same
Theres a bank, theres a church, a myth and a hearse
A mall and a loan, a child dead at birth
Theres a widow pig parrot
A rebel to tame
A whitehooded judge
A syringe and a vein
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

What ya say? What ya say? What ya say? What?
Calm like a bomb

This aint subliminal
Feel the critical mass approach horizon
Tha pulse of the condemned
Sound off Americas demise
Tha anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Yes I spit fire
Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires
Yes back through tha shanties and tha cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry, uh-huh
With different last names, uh-huh
The vultures robbin everyone
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point here at home
Yes the pictures tha same
Theres a field full of slaves
Some corn and some debt
Theres a ditch full of bodies
Tha check for the rent
Theres a tap, tha phone, tha silence of stone
The numb black screen
That be feelin like home
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

What ya say? What ya say? What ya say? What?

Calm like a bomb

Theres a mass without roofs
A prison to fill
Theres a countrys soul that reads post no bills
Theres a strike and a line of cops outside of tha mill
Theres a right to obey
And a right to kill

The song on the link Scottslover posted is the one by Disturbed or Seether or something... Right? I've heard it, it's not bad, but I don't love it...

what if i dont want to hear her voice at all ?

😂

actually, Evanescence isn't the only band with a chick singer... There are a lot of punk bands that have chicks in 'em, a lot of them good at that. There's a band from my area called the Ovulators that's all women and they're really good. So it's not unheard of.

i like evanescence. their new video is scary tho. she cuts her hand open on a mirror

✅ Kittie, Jack Off Jill and Lacuna Coil to name but three female lead bands. All of which make Evanescence sound pathetic.

actually i think evanescence is kinda good. their rythm section is pretty tight which makes their groove pretty strong. my only bad comment about them is that they're too monotonous in their music style. i bought the album of theirs, and after a while of listening to it they all start to sound the same. id have to give it to the vocalist though, she's got a pretty strong voice. hi pitched yet low tone. but she does sound monotonous in most of her songs.

i like their approach to gothic rock,trying to add a new flavor to it. to all the guys who are dissing evanescence, you have no idea how hard it is to play that kind of music and make it sound good.

Sure we do... Besides, just because it's hard is no excuse to do a crappy job of it.

I still dont think they have no orginality at all. And looked at the tabs for some of the evenesences songs...... well it aint hard at all.

true the insrumentals aren't hard. but its the 'making it sound good' thats hard. the songs are easy to play, but hard to pull off as stage quality.
