Nu-Rock band does a U-turn from it’s religionist roots!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Evanescence, for example, initially agreed to have its "Fallen" album in Christian outlets, which seemed consistent with liner notes where one member thanks Jesus, and a song, "Tourniquet," on the album that refers to Christ. (My wounds cry for the grave/My soul cries for deliverance/Will I be denied Christ/Tourniquet/My Suicide.)

But in an interview in Entertainment Weekly last spring, the group foreshadowed their soon-to-be-announced flip-flop when they said they couldn't understand why they were being pushed in the Christian market. Evanescence declined to be interviewed for this article.

Evanescence, while good, are a bunch of idiots. Come on... why alienate a portion of the buying public who WILL buy your albums!

I think they seek credibility with the real rock fan base, as opposed to the 'baggy trouser' bunch.

They better forget it.

[Potassium]

Holy mother of crap, I've never seen a more cynical bunch of people in my life.

"OMG THEY SOUND LIKE ANOTHER BAND!" "OMG THEY'RE POPULAR LET'S RIP ON THEM!"

Good Christ, lighten up.

[OzzyKP]

Agreed Potassium.

Evanessence is excellent. I saw them in concert and have their album. Excellent music. If some other band has similar music, good for them, look where it got them. No one has ever heard of them, and unless they deliberately tap into Evanessence's wave no one will ever hear of them.

Most likely they'll just ***** to their niche following about how they were ripped off. Though thats what niche fans want anyways, if that small band actually did make it big their following would turn on them, call them sellouts, and find some other obscure band they could latch on to.

Evanessence shouldn't turn on their religion, they should handle it like Creed and P.O.D. Didn't hurt those bands any.

I used to hang out with people like that. OOOH we love Dave Matthews. 5 minutes later. Damn fratboy rock. Then OOH we love Ben Folds. 5 minutes later. I hate Brick (really meaning that they hate how it gets radio and mtv play.) Then its OOH we love the Barenaked Ladies. 5 minutes later. Stunt sucked compared to Rock Spectacle (really saying that people that liked One Week were idiots)

Give me a break. Stop trying to be cool. Its not working.

[OzzyKP]

Niche fans need to get a life.

People who complain that such and such a band was better before they got popular need to be shot.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ah, finally sanity comes to this thread.

All of these bands, especially Limp Bizkit, can lick my balls. Nu Rock sucks.

[BustaMike]

BTW, for those of you that like Lacuna Coil, I saw them in concert several months ago (because Dog Fashion Disco <- see an actual good band, was opening) and they're a bunch of talentless hacks as well. That guy singer in their band needs to be shot. He reminds me of the poseur from Dead Man on Campus.

Lacuna Coil also = lick my balls.

[flash9286]

its all a matter of taste Busta i happen to like Linkin park

[Ben Kenobi]

but they make such excellent music that it doesn't matter.

Yes, I feel the same way about John Lennon. His music writing and talent overcome his atheism.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

I love Evanescence. I've even seen them live. The lead singer is MEGA HOTT w00t!

I've had no inkling that they were "christian rock".

EDIT: And they aren't nu rock. They only had rap/rock in one song and that was only because they're friends with a rap group, Twelve Stones (or something). When they played live, they didn't even have the rap.

"My Immortal" is my personal favorite...

[OzzyKP]

Yea, My Immortal is excellent.

[Spiffor]

Immortals rock. 4.2.1 for a mere 30 shields, very early in the game, will make you you'll have a comfortably large empire right from the beginning of the game
