EVANESCENCE Singer At GRAMMY AWARDS: 'We're Just Happy To Be Here'
- Feb. 11, 2008
According to RollingStone.com, EVANESCENCE's Amy Lee, who attended last night's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles with bandmate Terry Balsamo, wasn’t disturbed by the fact that ex-bandmates were lurking in the crowd. "I haven't seen anybody and everything has been cool and relaxed," she said. "We're just happy to be here. We've been through a lot with everything in this album ['The Open Door'], so it's an incredible album and a surprise."
EVANESCENCE debuted its new lineup last May at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. The touring band now includes guitarist Troy McLawhorn and drummer Will Hunt, both of DARK NEW DAY, who replaced John LeCompt and Rocky Gray.
LeCompt and Gray started playing with EVANESCENCE in 2002, before they were Grammy-honored as 2003's "Best New Artist."
At present, John LeCompt is writing and recording new songs with former FUTURE LEADERS OF THE WORLD vocalist Phil Taylor for the full-length debut from his new band, MACHINA. The lineup also includes bassist Thad Ables and drummer Rocky Gray, LeCompt's fellow EVANESCENCE alumnus. Longtime friends, John and Rocky have also played together in the groups KILL SYSTEM, SOUL EMBRACED and MOURNINGSIDE.

I bet there's a lot of those ex-bandmates running around. This chick has alienated more former allies than George W. Bush. And could she get any fatter? You look at her in the "Bring Me To Life" video and she was a babe, but now she looks like a beached whale. As her power and influence has increased exponentially so has her ego and her waistline. Oh well, at least her body type matches her personality.

What, ugly and wasteful?
I never really liked the band (mostly because of her), but she did have some decent musicians with tour with her.
I think she is the goth-female version of Fred Durst= could have been cool at one point, but showed themselves to be HUGE douch nozzles.
Get off the stage, Amy, before we cut some bacon off of your back.

"I'd like to thank Hagen Das, Arby's, Budweiser, Hardee's Monster Thickburger, Denny's and pizza for getting me through the hard times on the road".
What happened? She was skeetable at one time.

She wasn't concerned that the TALENT of Evanescence were lurking in the crowd...
"The Open Door" leads to a has-been.

Evanescence is okay ... but if you want to hear a band that completely blows them out of the water, go listen to Twilight Dementia.
