Lately over these past few years she’s been collaborating with several artists: she also did duets with Korn, Bring me the horizon, bush, body count, Lindsey Stirling, Dave Stewart, wagakki band…
Evanescence has so many great songs. I'd also recommend songs from their most recent album, The Bitter Truth. They just recently dropped a music video for the song Yeah, Right from that album, which is their comment on the music industry.
I'm also 60, and female, and I love Evanescence! I saw Amy about four or five years ago when she was touring with Lindsay Stirling. My autistic daughter loves Lindsay, and we both had a great time!
The first song you heard with the guy rapping and singing wasn't a part of the band. When they put out that song the record company said "no one wants just a female rock singer, you need to have a guy there with you." Amy Lee was pissed about this but it was the only way they would be allowed to release that song and video. After that she said no to every other time they tried to tell her this.
I saw Evanescence in 2022 at Aftershock, and the crowd for the whole metal festival was evenly split between men and women. We women *love* rock and metal, too.
Amy Lee has a golden voice. It's melodic, haunting, beautiful and powerful all at the same time. Her voice can fill every single inch of a stadium. One of the best vocalists of all-time. And Evanescence is great live. Especially if you saw them in their prime. Though I will note, they are still good and Amy's voice is just as powerful as it has ever been. True gem, that woman is!
Evanescence was formed first but they came out around the same time. The crowds are a mix, Amy is loved by nearly everyone in the rock/metal community. If you're interested in experiencing the rock/metal culture, crowds, and music and you are within distance to get there. Check out louder than life festival in Louisville, Ky. It is hands down the best rock/metal festival in the US.
'Going Under' is my favorite of all their songs, never get tired of it. ❤ Evanescence was created about 1-2 years before Nightwish. As someone who was in my late teens and early 20's when Evanescence was at their height, I would say it is unusually even, both women and men love their music.
@@77Infidel It isn't one or the other, go away with this bullshit. Amy Lee is great, Taylor Swift is great. People who feel the need to put someone down to raise someone else up are the worst.
Dude...pay no mind to the people who say not to pause or talk about the video. They're either trolling you because they know darn well what the rules are or they're noobs who have no clue what the rules are. Pausing is necessary when doing reaction videos. Otherwise they'll copyright and you can't monetize. You're doing good. You don't have to answer for your actions. Check out Sweet Sacrifice and Call Me When You're Sober
I don’t get the people that don’t want the reactionist to pause… that is the sole purpose of a reaction video …to see what the reactionist thinks about it. If they don’t want the video to be interrupted then they should just go and watch that video directly.
since you asked Evanescence first album Fallen released on March 4, 2003 first song I herd off that was Bring Me to Life. Nightwish however first album Angels Fall First was released September of 1997 but I think it wasn't in till 5th album Once got released under Nuclear Blast's label that they gained popularity in the US as music back then was still more about radio play. Nightwish was not getting any air play here till that album and I believe tracks "Nemo" and "Wish I Had an Angel" were the only two singles in the US. I had already been listening to Epica's "Cry for the Moon" (which you should do a reaction to) before my wife and I were turned on to to Nightwish. Epicia released their first album in 2002. I think all these European style of symphonic metal were all inspired by Kamelot thought of as more a "power band" out of Tampa, Florida that came out in 87 and many of the progressive metal bands of the 70's and 80's. German metal has always bend more hard core metal and so many German Metal bands made really big here in the 80's but the renaissance fairs that became so popular in the 80's and early 90's I think helped push bands like Kamelot and others into the real Heavy Metal meets full symphonic orchestra. Then the Goth gen picked up on it in the later 90's into the 2000's. Hope some of that History helps how some of these bands developed and how this sound has progressed over the decades.
Lithium...Sweet Sacrifice...Tourniquet...are my personal favorites. If you wanna see how a song can change with Amy Lee singing, try Broken with Seether and compare it to the original.
These are very unique cover versions that Amy Lee did. I don't know if there are music videos or just audio files. • Going to California by Led Zeppelin • With Or Without You by U2 • Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing by Chris Isaak • The Chain by Fleetwood Mac (Evanescence) • Thoughtless by Korn (Evanescence) Also, the song with Lindsey Sterling is called Shatter Me & and it's amazing. I can't pick favorite Evanescence songs. There are too many. Going Under is one. Also, Imperfection, Sweet Sacrifice, What You Want....
Definitely mixed people go to evanescence concerts. I'm a man and I love Amy Lee's voice. Also her songs are very relatable to both genders, not just women
“Call Me When You’re Sober”, “Lithium”, “My Heart is Broken”, “Yeah Right”, “Everybody’s Fool”, even more than that. Every song they release is a banger!
Paul McCoy (12 Stones) was only in 'Bring Me to Life' as a compromise with their record company who tried to force a male vocal in the group but Amy said no, but compromised on this one song. And I'm a 45 year old male and I'll rock with Evanescence forever. As a duo, Amy Lee & then guitarist, Ben Moody, self-released the EPs Evanescence (1998) and Sound Asleep (1999), which were followed by the demo album Origin (2000). Their debut studio album, Fallen, was released in 2003, and sold 141,000 copies in its first week in the US, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200. As for Nightwish... The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997).
My Immortal is not about Amy Lee's sister or anyone in her family. The song was actually written as a short story by Evanescence co-founder Ben Moody. He wrote the short story in High School about one of his grandparents that had passed away. They took the story and turned it into "My Immortal". It's basically about when someone you know dies but their presence stays with you. You want to let them go but you can't. The version of My immortal on the Fallen LP does not contain the band section that was added after the release of the album and was offered by Evanescence as a free download so the 2 versions of the song are "Bliss Version" and "Band Version". In the video Ev fans love to point out how Amy's feet never touch the ground and it's because she killed herself that's why she has bandages on her wrists. This is not true. Amy is a spirit of sorts yes but not from killing herself. They are not bandages on her wrists they are ribbons. She has them on both arms and both feet they were just added to match the dress and cool factor. I'm sure she didn't cut not only her wrists but both her feet as well? The Song has NOTHING to do with suicide. If you want a song about Suicide listen to "Tourniquet" by Evanescence. "Are you having suicidal thoughts or you know someone that is?" Call the Suicidal help line and speak with someone that can help you.
One of my best friends is a woman in her 50s who goes to several concerts a month. She lives for them. Her kids are grown and she's a real metal head. Any hard rock or metal group that comes within 3 states is likely to have her head banging at it's concert.
Evanescence has their first demos in 1994, I think Nightwish has their own around 96? Obviously it is not easy to have an exact date, but what i can be sure is there is no way, or at least a little tiny chance they know each other by then, since Evanescence came from a little town in US and Nightwish from a little town in Finland. No internet, not social media, no UA-cam, so i would be pretty much sure they just create and grow as bands by themselves very apart from each other until they become bigger
I was a teenager in Melbourne Australia during the mid 70’s when AC/DC were just beginning to hit it big with the brilliant Bon Scott and got to see them so many times!! There were just as many females at those heavy rock gigs as males, and the guys were always respectful of us younger girls. It set me on the path for music for the rest of my life and I cannot go a day without it. It’s food for my soul! R.I.P. Bon, you will always be the their frontman to me!
Oh I love this song…This whole album was on repeat for me when it came out. I listened to this album while I ran on my treadmill and I never changed the CD out for 2 yrs…it was my running CD and to this day, I hear this song or any other of her songs start and immediately have my adrenaline kick in and I want to get running!! This song pumps me up
I would say it was 50/50 when I went. I've been to many concerts and I saw them in the early 2000s in Wisconsin, they were popping. Still one of the top 3 shows I've EVER seen in person. I love Amy Lee ❤
Def here for an Evanescence journey with you! Love the directions you're going! So many good ones from them and Amy Lee is immaculate! Yes, women absolutely LOVE rock! Was so stoked when this powerhouse of a woman hit the scene with some beautiful, raw, transcending vocals!! ❤
I was lucky enough to see them perform twice last year at Welcome To Rockville in Orlando, FL and at Download in the UK. Amy Lee still slays on vocals.
It’s a mix for sure - I’ve been to many evanescence shows and there are men and women everywhere. Love my rock concerts! Need more Ev reactions - love your channel!!❤
Nightwish came first in '96 and then Evanescance '03, from my experience their demographic is super mixed. Everyone in my family, from my mom to my sister to me, to my brother all like Evanescence cause she has some pipes on her and the band kill it. The main aesthetic of people that listen to Evanescence is Goth, Emo style but I feel like she has the type of music anyone can just vibe to.
We just saw her in Vegas last year at the Sick New World, she is a beast!!! And yes a mix of 80,000 screaming fans🤘🏻FLYLEAF was off the charts too! Lacey Strum is a powerhouse 🤘🏻
One of my theme songs! 22 years of my life was this song. Never again. To answer your question..Nightwish came 2nd. Amy Lee popped on the scene in '02 when this album dropped. Going Under was the first song on the album but Bring Me To Life was the first released off of it. Next you should really do Call Me When You're Sober! GREAT reaction and fornicate the haters my guy..be you!❤
Evanescence -1994 Nightwish- 1996 Linkin Park - 1996 Last song had a guest singer from the band 12 stones (guy vocalist in last song) Evenescence draws a crowd of both male and female. Granted more women listen to her.. maybe a 60/40 split. She tours a lot with other big headers like Korn ( I went to their co-op concert just 6 months ago) @Black Pegasus
Yes, was initially promoted as a “Christian” band, but have gone out of their way to not be labeled, as not to sit out some audiences. Amy is one of the greatest female vocalists of our time regardless of genre. Pure power, but can sing soft too and hit every note.
1 song from evanescence I would love for you to react to is actually called good enough. It's like 1 of her best vocal performances It's raw and gritty and yeah you feel it
Evanescence was supposed to be all about Amy's vocals, but the misogyny of the music business forced them to have the random guy doing vocals in Bring me to Life. That was their breakout song, and the label basically told them that unless they had male vocals they wouldn't get a contract. Now, 20+ years later, no one has a clue who that dude was and Amy Lee is one of the most famous female vocalists in the Western world.
Addressing something you asked about in one of your other reviews of Evanescence, yes, she does play the piano and yes, she does it during her concerts, even as she’s singing. 😎 Since you enjoy her voice, you might want to check out “Break In”. It’s a ballad by Lzzy Hale which she sings as a duet with Amy Lee of Evanescence. Their harmonizing is frickin phenomenal!
Evanescence came out first in 1994 though they'd been playing gigs around Arkansas and Memphis area for a few years prior. Nightwish started as a band in 1996.
I'd highly recommend reacting to the Wagakki Band doing Bring Me To Life, live, with Amy Lee. I'd argue it's the best version of the song... and if there are any Evanescence/Amy Lee fans in your subs that never knew that existed... it will blow their minds!
Love this song, thanks for the reaction. While it's not Evanescence, I really like "Broken" by Seether, which features Amy singing with Seether's lead singer Shaun Morgan.
I'm pretty sure the interpretation of this song was aimed at the fans and the industry that make her feel drained. Also "Call me when you're sober" is the best video.
Their song “A new way to bleed (Photek Remix)” that was on the Avengers soundtrack is one of my favorites along with “What you want” and “Oceans” from the 2011 album.
Hey bro, I saw her live last year in Vegas, and she was amazing live and to answer your question all sorts of people men women go to her shows she brings them all in
Evanescence, believe it or not, began as a Christian band...along those lines (not one of their monster hits) is a song called Tourniquet. But honestly, there are no bad songs when Amy Lee is at the mike.
anyone who tells you to not talk when doing a reaction can shove it, because that's what we come here for. the rest of us love hearing you react to these songs and artists. anyone doesn't like it can come speak to me!!!!
I can attest that an equal number of men and women like Evanescence (as well as a diverse age group). They have so many good songs and videos. "Your Star" 2016 at the Paramount Theater. "The Only One" 2007 - Nissan Live Sets. "Sweet Sacrifice" 2007 - Live intimate in Australia.
Seeing Amy under the water in the white dress, that is what I imagine a Banshee would look like. Imagine seeing her in a forest looking like that, run away or approach?
It's always a good mix at the concerts- I've been to 5 of her shows and I never notice and overwhelming amount of any specific gender. She sounds exactly the same in concert as she does in the studio and everyone appreciates that
I think "Hello" was the song that was about her sister passing? But I don't even remember where I got that information from... Probably from a comment so it could very well be something made up (like "Gone Away" from The Offspring being "about his girlfriend who passed" when in reality it was inspired by a close call with his now wife)
I've seen her a few times live. Awesome live show! The crowd is a mix... It's the normal crowd that would show up to a hard rock show but definitely more females will show up for an Evanescence show. First time I saw them I started the mosh pit and it got crazy!
I think its more like 70% female 30% male for her concerts... and Nightwish came out before Evenesence... There's a video out there where Amy Lee mentioned Nightwish was one of her inspirations... She is one of the reasons, I became okay with being myself. When I started listening to her she woke up a part of me that had long been dormant and I was finally able to express myself in my own lyrics and music I wrote. She has always been a hero of mine! Great reaction to her video!!
You need to react to Evanescence's "Call Me When You're Sober" and "Everybody's Fool" next
And Lithium.
Absolutely.
Agree
YESSSSS ❤
Evanescence IS Amy Lee and LINKIN PARK❤
She’s on a song with Seether called Broken….. it’s really good too! I think she also did a duet with Lizzy Hale from Halestorm
100%?this is an amazing song
Yes, Lzzy Hale and Amy Lee "Break In".
Lately over these past few years she’s been collaborating with several artists: she also did duets with Korn, Bring me the horizon, bush, body count, Lindsey Stirling, Dave Stewart, wagakki band…
Heard duet with lizzie hale great song man two gorgeous voices together wow
Evanescence
lithium
Call me when you're sober
Hello
The entire album is fire !!!!
Hello is a good song but it’s sad
Evanescence has so many great songs. I'd also recommend songs from their most recent album, The Bitter Truth. They just recently dropped a music video for the song Yeah, Right from that album, which is their comment on the music industry.
Breaking Benjamin' as also awesome.
Diary of Jane
Dear agony with lacy
So cold
The death of you
Evanescence came first, they were founded in 1994 & Nightwish was founded in 1996.
I've seen Amy 7 times. Young, old, male, female. Its a good mix of people. I'm 60, female & still love Evanescence!
I'm also 60, and female, and I love Evanescence! I saw Amy about four or five years ago when she was touring with Lindsay Stirling. My autistic daughter loves Lindsay, and we both had a great time!
@@ConnieHall63 I love that!! Good lord took my legs, sight is going, but man if i lost my music I'd give up!
I’m 27 f and i LOVE older girls being into Evanescence as well❤
i'm 607 y.o vampire, been following Amy for 326 years already!
Middle-aged white guy here. Amy Lee is one of my favorite singers of all time. I will always love Evanescence.
The first song you heard with the guy rapping and singing wasn't a part of the band. When they put out that song the record company said "no one wants just a female rock singer, you need to have a guy there with you." Amy Lee was pissed about this but it was the only way they would be allowed to release that song and video. After that she said no to every other time they tried to tell her this.
It's definitely a great mix at all rock shows. Young, old, male female.
This is the truth.
I saw Evanescence in 2022 at Aftershock, and the crowd for the whole metal festival was evenly split between men and women.
We women *love* rock and metal, too.
Amy Lee has a golden voice. It's melodic, haunting, beautiful and powerful all at the same time. Her voice can fill every single inch of a stadium. One of the best vocalists of all-time. And Evanescence is great live. Especially if you saw them in their prime. Though I will note, they are still good and Amy's voice is just as powerful as it has ever been. True gem, that woman is!
Lithium is another great one!!!
Amy Lee's vocals are incredible! She's almost operatic.
💯
Almost?😉
Mezo Soprano not "almost operatic" 😅
@@imaginarysoul3437 don't be a dip $hit
She infact can sing opera
Evanescence was formed first but they came out around the same time. The crowds are a mix, Amy is loved by nearly everyone in the rock/metal community.
If you're interested in experiencing the rock/metal culture, crowds, and music and you are within distance to get there. Check out louder than life festival in Louisville, Ky. It is hands down the best rock/metal festival in the US.
My man... if you want a power duo of female vocals, Haelstorm feat Amy Lee - "Break In" is something you might appreciate.
Just here to mention Haelstorm!
Yes!!! 🔥
Loveeee that he's getting into this band. If he likes hearing female vocalists in that industry like this, he'll love Halestorm.
Also In this Moment, Pretty Reckless, and Dorothy
@@jamesjohnston1935 oh for sure! Greaaattttt stuff.
'Going Under' is my favorite of all their songs, never get tired of it. ❤
Evanescence was created about 1-2 years before Nightwish. As someone who was in my late teens and early 20's when Evanescence was at their height, I would say it is unusually even, both women and men love their music.
This group and Linkin park got me through a lot of things and depression
She was and still is my childhood crush
100%. But yet it's ALL T.Swift ALL THE TIME, getting shoved down everyone's throats. Sickening as there are actual artists with real talent.
@@77Infidel It isn't one or the other, go away with this bullshit. Amy Lee is great, Taylor Swift is great.
People who feel the need to put someone down to raise someone else up are the worst.

I don’t get the people that don’t want the reactionist to pause… that is the sole purpose of a reaction video …to see what the reactionist thinks about it. If they don’t want the video to be interrupted then they should just go and watch that video directly.
Good points!
Just fast forward
Dude just do you. Your reactions are awesome and dead on. Keep up what you are doing
This brings me back to my teenage years. Evanescence was all I listened to, when I felt depressed. Amy's voice is heavenly.
"Everybody's Fool" is a beautiful and tragic companion piece to this track, and that one is definitely a commentary on the industry
since you asked Evanescence first album Fallen released on March 4, 2003 first song I herd off that was Bring Me to Life.
Nightwish however first album Angels Fall First was released September of 1997 but I think it wasn't in till 5th album Once got released under Nuclear Blast's label that they gained popularity in the US as music back then was still more about radio play. Nightwish was not getting any air play here till that album and I believe tracks "Nemo" and "Wish I Had an Angel" were the only two singles in the US.

Hope some of that History helps how some of these bands developed and how this sound has progressed over the decades.
This song is about stardom, media, fans, paparazzi, etc. They became so big, so fast, it was really hard to deal with.
She has a colab with Lindsey Sterling, which is another artist you should check out.
Lithium...Sweet Sacrifice...Tourniquet...are my personal favorites. If you wanna see how a song can change with Amy Lee singing, try Broken with Seether and compare it to the original.
Those are some of my favorite ones as well.
These are very unique cover versions that Amy Lee did. I don't know if there are music videos or just audio files.
• Going to California by Led Zeppelin
• With Or Without You by U2
• Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing by Chris Isaak
• The Chain by Fleetwood Mac (Evanescence)
• Thoughtless by Korn (Evanescence)
Also, the song with Lindsey Sterling is called Shatter Me & and it's amazing.
I can't pick favorite Evanescence songs. There are too many. Going Under is one. Also, Imperfection, Sweet Sacrifice, What You Want....
Definitely mixed people go to evanescence concerts. I'm a man and I love Amy Lee's voice. Also her songs are very relatable to both genders, not just women
“Call Me When You’re Sober”, “Lithium”, “My Heart is Broken”, “Yeah Right”, “Everybody’s Fool”, even more than that. Every song they release is a banger!
Lithium or Everybody's Fool are two of my favorites from them. Amy has been my favorite singer since I was 16- she does not disappoint.
"Call Me When You're Sober" is my favourite song by Evanescence
Paul McCoy (12 Stones) was only in 'Bring Me to Life' as a compromise with their record company who tried to force a male vocal in the group but Amy said no, but compromised on this one song.
And I'm a 45 year old male and I'll rock with Evanescence forever.
As a duo, Amy Lee & then guitarist, Ben Moody, self-released the EPs Evanescence (1998) and Sound Asleep (1999), which were followed by the demo album Origin (2000). Their debut studio album, Fallen, was released in 2003, and sold 141,000 copies in its first week in the US, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200.
As for Nightwish...
The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997).
My Immortal is not about Amy Lee's sister or anyone in her family.
The song was actually written as a short story by Evanescence co-founder Ben Moody. He wrote the short story in High School about one of his grandparents that had passed away.
They took the story and turned it into "My Immortal". It's basically about when someone you know dies but their presence stays with you. You want to let them go but you can't.
The version of My immortal on the Fallen LP does not contain the band section that was added after the release of the album and was offered by Evanescence as a free download so the 2 versions of the song are "Bliss Version" and "Band Version".
In the video Ev fans love to point out how Amy's feet never touch the ground and it's because she killed herself that's why she has bandages on her wrists.
This is not true. Amy is a spirit of sorts yes but not from killing herself. They are not bandages on her wrists they are ribbons. She has them on both arms and both feet they were just added to match the dress and cool factor.
I'm sure she didn't cut not only her wrists but both her feet as well? The Song has NOTHING to do with suicide.
If you want a song about Suicide listen to "Tourniquet" by Evanescence.
"Are you having suicidal thoughts or you know someone that is?" Call the Suicidal help line and speak with someone that can help you.
She did a ballad with the band Seether. You should check it out...maybe with your wife. The song is called "Broken." Its beautiful.
Love her voice! "Made of Stone", "What You Want", "Tourniquet", and" End of The Dream" are some of my favorites
One of my best friends is a woman in her 50s who goes to several concerts a month. She lives for them. Her kids are grown and she's a real metal head. Any hard rock or metal group that comes within 3 states is likely to have her head banging at it's concert.
Evanescence have been active since 1994 and Nightwish have been active from 1996 so Evanesence came first by 2 years give or take a few months
I just cant believe her voice. Its unearthly beautiful.
Every song strikes a strong emotion in so many different ways. Love evanescence
Evanescence has their first demos in 1994, I think Nightwish has their own around 96? Obviously it is not easy to have an exact date, but what i can be sure is there is no way, or at least a little tiny chance they know each other by then, since Evanescence came from a little town in US and Nightwish from a little town in Finland. No internet, not social media, no UA-cam, so i would be pretty much sure they just create and grow as bands by themselves very apart from each other until they become bigger
Chills. Amy is such a force and this song just gets my hair standing up on end and a body rush.
Dude! you'll love Everybodys Fool from Evanescence!!!
I was a teenager in Melbourne Australia during the mid 70’s when AC/DC were just beginning to hit it big with the brilliant Bon Scott and got to see them so many times!!

Saw them live last Sept. The best female voice live I have ever heard. 62 year old grandmother and still rocking out with Evanescence!!

Saw Evanescence live and was back stage she is wonderful
Love Amy Lee, she keeps getting better and better like a fine wine! My immortal is not about her sister, she wrote Hello for her sister.

Linkin Park - 1996
Last song had a guest singer from the band 12 stones (guy vocalist in last song)
Evenescence draws a crowd of both male and female. Granted more women listen to her.. maybe a 60/40 split. She tours a lot with other big headers like Korn ( I went to their co-op concert just 6 months ago)

This one was the first Evanescence song I ever heard back in the day, and man, what an introduction it was.
Amy is a woman of faith...I know you'd really appreciate her as a person...
Yes, was initially promoted as a “Christian” band, but have gone out of their way to not be labeled, as not to sit out some audiences. Amy is one of the greatest female vocalists of our time regardless of genre. Pure power, but can sing soft too and hit every note.
definitely not overt about it...and she certainly is an unbelievable singer and writer!!! @@iancollins65
1 song from evanescence I would love for you to react to is actually called good enough. It's like 1 of her best vocal performances It's raw and gritty and yeah you feel it
Amy Lee's music has been a big part of my life. I'll never get too old for this. Very important to me.
I saw Amy last year in Vegas. She is still amazing. Gonna see Jinger in April. Sick New tour gonna be fire again this year
Evanescence frequently say they love the 50/50 split of men and women at their gigs
Would love to see more Evanescence on the channel. Amy Lee is an amazing vocalist. You would probably like Lithium and Call Me When You're Sober.
Evanescence was supposed to be all about Amy's vocals, but the misogyny of the music business forced them to have the random guy doing vocals in Bring me to Life. That was their breakout song, and the label basically told them that unless they had male vocals they wouldn't get a contract. Now, 20+ years later, no one has a clue who that dude was and Amy Lee is one of the most famous female vocalists in the Western world.
Amy!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Call Me When You're Sober and Everybody's Fool are more bangers from Evanescene early days. Brilliance!!
Pink floyd comfortably numb pulse koncert 1994. Its a 1000% must watch!
Addressing something you asked about in one of your other reviews of Evanescence, yes, she does play the piano and yes, she does it during her concerts, even as she’s singing. 😎
Since you enjoy her voice, you might want to check out “Break In”. It’s a ballad by Lzzy Hale which she sings as a duet with Amy Lee of Evanescence. Their harmonizing is frickin phenomenal!
Evanescence came out first in 1994 though they'd been playing gigs around Arkansas and Memphis area for a few years prior. Nightwish started as a band in 1996.
I'd highly recommend reacting to the Wagakki Band doing Bring Me To Life, live, with Amy Lee. I'd argue it's the best version of the song... and if there are any Evanescence/Amy Lee fans in your subs that never knew that existed... it will blow their minds!
Love Evanescence!
Love this song, thanks for the reaction.
While it's not Evanescence, I really like "Broken" by Seether, which features Amy singing with Seether's lead singer Shaun Morgan.
I'm pretty sure the interpretation of this song was aimed at the fans and the industry that make her feel drained. Also "Call me when you're sober" is the best video.
Their song “A new way to bleed (Photek Remix)” that was on the Avengers soundtrack is one of my favorites along with “What you want” and “Oceans” from the 2011 album.
Hey bro, I saw her live last year in Vegas, and she was amazing live and to answer your question all sorts of people men women go to her shows she brings them all in
Evanescence, believe it or not, began as a Christian band...along those lines (not one of their monster hits) is a song called Tourniquet. But honestly, there are no bad songs when Amy Lee is at the mike.
Tourniquet it’s a cover....
She does an awesome song with lizy hale from halestorm which is another awesome female front rock band
I’ve seen them live and it’s a good mix and they sound amazing
Everybody's Fool is another good one! They have tons of great songs!!!
Definitely a mixture. Back in the day you found me in a mosh pit at the front of the stage. Many boots to the head and concussions but tons of fun.
anyone who tells you to not talk when doing a reaction can shove it, because that's what we come here for. the rest of us love hearing you react to these songs and artists. anyone doesn't like it can come speak to me!!!!
I can attest that an equal number of men and women like Evanescence (as well as a diverse age group). They have so many good songs and videos. "Your Star" 2016 at the Paramount Theater. "The Only One" 2007 - Nissan Live Sets. "Sweet Sacrifice" 2007 - Live intimate in Australia.
Seeing Amy under the water in the white dress, that is what I imagine a Banshee would look like.
Imagine seeing her in a forest looking like that, run away or approach?
Im a dude and prefer female fronted kickass bands like Evanescence, Halestorm, Within Temptation. Amazing female vocalists with great bands. 👍
Nothing wrong with that. I'm the same.
It's always a good mix at the concerts- I've been to 5 of her shows and I never notice and overwhelming amount of any specific gender. She sounds exactly the same in concert as she does in the studio and everyone appreciates that
Such a beautiful voice ❤️🔥🤘🏼. Great reaction
I think "Hello" was the song that was about her sister passing? But I don't even remember where I got that information from... Probably from a comment so it could very well be something made up (like "Gone Away" from The Offspring being "about his girlfriend who passed" when in reality it was inspired by a close call with his now wife)
Just love people that found Evanescence and Amy and are O___O .
Amy Lee is an amazing vocalist you should check out her cover of Going to California
I love Amy Lee so much, I pray for healing in her life during this tough time for her ❤
❤I enjoy and appreciate your reactions, thoughts, and comments. Keep on keepin' on !❤
You need to hear Evanescence "Like You"
I've seen her a few times live. Awesome live show! The crowd is a mix... It's the normal crowd that would show up to a hard rock show but definitely more females will show up for an Evanescence show. First time I saw them I started the mosh pit and it got crazy!
how does such an incredible and powerful voice come out of such a tiny and petite woman?
My Grandson and I used to sing it together!! I heard that bring me to life was how she met her husband!
I’ve seen Evanescence twice live and it’s a mix
I think its more like 70% female 30% male for her concerts... and Nightwish came out before Evenesence... There's a video out there where Amy Lee mentioned Nightwish was one of her inspirations... She is one of the reasons, I became okay with being myself. When I started listening to her she woke up a part of me that had long been dormant and I was finally able to express myself in my own lyrics and music I wrote. She has always been a hero of mine! Great reaction to her video!!
March 2003 was when evanescence debut,nightwish csme out November 1997
"Hello" off the Fallen album is the song about Amy's sister.
Oh man, you have to get into Halestorm- try I am the fire and I miss the misery
