How many bands can you list that not only have garnered legions of fans, but also not forgotten to show their love and appreciation for each and every one of their adoring troopers? Well one you should be putting at the top of the list is Evanescence. Their level of success is so rare in this industry that the only fact to rival it is how down to earth and frankly grateful they are. Amidst releasing an album last year and embarking on a tour through the year, Amy Lee took the time to answer some of YOUR questions. So without further ranting I hope to reintroduce you in a way to the one and only Amy Lee:
Rafi: So let’s start with the winning question; with your talent and creativity if you illustrated a children’s book, what would it be about, and what would the title be? Amy Lee: That’s funny! I wonder if they heard me talk about this before. My sister is a great story writer and we have been talking about doing this. We haven’t started on anything, but we have been tossing around the idea. It wouldn’t be fully for children though; it would have an adult appeal as well. I am a really big fan of ‘The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories’ by Tim Burton and another that I always loved was the ‘Stinky Cheese Man and Fairly Stupid Tales’ (by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith). So I think they would be a lot like that, a collection of short stories written by her and illustrated by me. So this will actually happen, I just don’t know the title yet. (Both of us laughing) Rafi: The other question I thought was great and a very close second was: “Given the controversies that artists such as Marilyn Manson and other metal acts have gone through, being that they were scapegoats for others’ actions, if you found your band in the middle of one of those situations what would you do? What do you think about the witch hunt on these bands?” Amy Lee: That’s an interesting question. I think it is very important for all of us to have a place where we can say what we really think. Music and especially rock music for a longtime has been a place for that, it’s an outlet. All day long we are expected to behave; (both of us laughing) stand in line, wait our turn, and deal with the frustrations of everyday life. So you need something to voice your feelings, scream “fuck” (both of us laughing) and get it out. I don’t think it’s the music’s fault when someone goes crazy and does bad things. These tragedies would have happened without the music, in my opinion. If you take the outlet of music away from people it forces them to bottle up all the negativity, which I believe is worse.
