I think their ok, not my fav, but not too bad. Its a little annoying when their songs are over-played on the radio though. My friend at school absolutely loves them!

They carry the "Goth Depression" theme a bit too far.
I'm not a fan of "Gothism" anyway.
Very overrated. (Another example of this being Linkin Park. Ugh.)

Hahah... Strongly dislike.
I just can't see anything in them that I'd like.

"I'm not happy blah blah"

Gosh... I hope Sapphire doesn't see that lol.

Of that list I only really like Garbage
I like Powder, Dubstar, Skunk Anansie and Catatonia

*slaps forehead* How did I forget them?

Gothism? I think I'll get in here before Saph!
I can't believe think that only 'goths' Listen to this sort of music, and I would like you please to think before you write something that may insult people. There are alot of people who listen to rock heavy meatal and punk music Eg:
Punks, skaters, moshers etc evan some chavs listen to it but they probably wouldn't tell their mates...
((These are English groups of people if you do not understand any of them please pm me thank you))

They rock! A lot of people say they're overrated because most of them probably only listened to Bring Me to Life and My Immortal, and possibly Going Under and Everybody's Fool. If you judge them by those singles, then it's sort of like, what's the word... judging someone by their outer appearance, I guess. You should listen to some of their other good songs before deciding.

Off-topic to my post above, but I saw someone could play My Immortal. I bought the Fallen piano book and I can play Bring Me to Life, My Immortal, Haunted, Tourniquet, Imaginary, and Hello.

I'm "Qiute stupid"? Wow. Never seen it....spelled that way before.
Did I say only Goths listen to it?
No.
Did I imply in any way that I have something against people who listen to them?
No.
Okie-Dokie. By the way, don't lecture me about how my posts are offensive, (I hope nobody sees my impression of the band as a personal attack...) and then call try to call me stupid.
You're not a mod anyway.

I can play the first parts of them But you have to stretch out for Everybody's Fool and Going Under which annoys me >.<


Meep, Chao, I disagree. Ah well, I'll let chass get there first, she's better than me =) No 'ffence.

He may not be a mod, but I am. You're first comment may not have been very offensive, but this last one was very rude.
There is no reason to poke fun at one another's typographical errors.
I hardly think CD was lecturing you, he was merely responding to what you said and giving an opinion about it. But I am lecturing you.
Is it impossible for us to even have an intelligent discussion about music without fighting and calling eachother names. Cut it out, all of you. This goes for you too CD, you could've been slightly more curteous in your response.
May I remind you all of my favourite forum rule?


This thread hasn't quite developed that far yet, but I'd like to stop if before it does. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, whether their opinions are right in your eyes or not. You're welcome to express your own contradicting opinions, but do NOT attack eachother.

Moving on, let's try to continue this in a better manner, eh?


I seem to be expected to respond to this, and so I shall.

It's of my opinion that the majority of people that identify Evanescence with Gothism and Depression are really only looking on the surface. That's like looking at a tiny bit of ice sticking out the water and saying "Oh, that's just a tiny bit of ice, it can't hurt me." And then your giant unsinkable ship runs into it, and the massage iceberg beneath the surface of the water punctures lots of tiny holes in your hull, and then Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio go down with the ship, and he freezes to death while she gets lives to be an old lady that throws an extremely valuable necklace into the Atlantic ocean...
Ok... moving on from that. Let's take an in-depth look at some of Evanescence's songs, and not just the ones on Fallen, which aren't my favourites.
While Amy Lee does dress gothic, and some of the songs are dark and carry that depressed theme. Not all of their songs are like that, quite a few are about love, and several seem to have been inspired by the story of Romeo & Juliet. I'll just name a handful here: Even In Death, So Close, Anywhere, Before The Dawn, Anything For You. While others are quite religious in nature: October, Give Unto Me, Lies, Forgive Me.
Though the band may've gained popularity for their other songs, these are the ones I like.
And while we're talking about me, let me say one thing. I am a poser. I won't deny it. I can dress sporty, goth, punk, preppy, hippie, all in one week. I listen to every type of music, from Eminem to Metallica, from Linkin Park (yes Linkin Park) to Britney Spears, from Madonna to U2. And I love it all. I refuse to tie myself down to one sort of style of anything, be it clothing, music, or lifestyle. If that makes me a poser, then fine, I'm a poser, and a damned proud one at that.
(and I'm not even gonna respond to the thing about Linkin Park, because no one wants to hear that)

Yes, the band has an acceptable sound, and Amy's voice is decent. My whole point is that the band gets too much publicity for what they do, and their theme isn't exactly original. It's just too bad that they're being so...what's the word I want to use...commercialized. I don't want to see them go the way of some other bands. Oh yes, I also found it funny that most of the people in this topic replied to my original post as if were evil, and hinting that I would be jumped on, because that doesn't bother me in the least. Oh yeah, I don't think you're a poser.

LIKE. They're not the best bad or anything, but they're still really good. I'm not as big of a fan as my friend ( he's freakily obsessed) but I still like them.

I edited the stupid part and apologise for it. It just reminded me of all the people in my school who label me and my friends goths...
I'm sorry for that.

And to the qiute thing so I did a typo? I'm sorry if I missed the part where I have to spellcheck my posts... I'm also dyslexic and frankly It's a miricle I can spell that!

Don't mean to get way of topic, ok so I mean to get way off topic, but I don't intend to derail the conversation --> I LOVE YOUR SET! Me and my friend are like obsessed with the Simple Life.

My apologies.
