I always found The Open Door album compelling guitar wise.. A lot of strange tones, riffs and layering which I really like. Probably my favourite EV album as it's quite experimental instrument wise..
Same. Amy Lee creatively led The Open Door and composed most of its songs with guitarist Terry Balsamo in live sessions, and it is far above Fallen in every way. Fallen, especially the songs with guitar, is musically monochromatic and had mediocre one-note guitarist Ben bogging down the songs, trying to control its sound and Amy's compositions for a commercial purpose.
@Triangle Pyramid 🤣 A prime example of not knowing absolutely anything about what you're talking about. FIRST, Ben himself: "Amy is much more creative than I am, I'll be the first to admit it. I am a bit more commercial minded ... she is more educated musically, and she wanted to explore that. I wanted to do that, but keep in the confines of what I knew people expected from Evanescence. I think in my immaturity at the time, I did that in just a way-too-controlling manner - it was like my way or the highway." SECOND, the ONLY original members and main composers of Ev were Amy and Ben. Ev was always a duo since its inception in 1995 until Amy made it into a band in 2009 with the 2007 lineup. David was a studio contributor for a couple of years doing keyboard programming and some strings. John and Rocky were not part of Fallen, they were hired as touring musicians for the tour. THIRD, Ben didn't nurture shlt; he wanted to stop doing Ev and get a high paying job since at least 1999. AMY is the one who conceptualized Ev, who wanted to blending the various styles she loved growing up for Ev, who's classically trained and had been composing music since she was a child, who nurtured Ev, who battled countless battles, including many sexlst ones, internally and externally from the beginning to keep Ev going, which she has for over two decades. The only reason Ev exists is because of Amy. Ben tried to undermine Amy all the time, privately and publicly, he was resentful since their pre-Fallen days of her getting more attention as the singer and pianist than him, he tried to big himself up at her expense and even tried to discredit her and credit himself for her work. He was a commercial tyrant especially after they got signed. And he's a manipulative, toxic a-hole and abuser; he was physically and emotionally abusive to Amy for many years since her teens, and also to other women including his ex-wife who recently divorced him due to his domestic violence and drug use.
I do not get why you haven't gotten more followers since you were introduced in Evanescence... You are awesome!!! Some people don't like change. But I certainly do! I Hope you guys come to the Netherlands soon!! Last time was way too long ago :D
After Balsamo's departure and her joining the band, I had ambivalent thoughts. I like Balsamo's style more than Moody's and all the other Evanescence guitarists, so it was a bummer to hear that he is leaving the band. On the other hand I think that a female guitarist is an interesting addition to a female fronted band. Judging from the video above I can say that she is promising. I have strong hopes for her and her contribution to Evanescence's music.
Hey Jen :-) ich hatte ja das Glück dich dieses Jahr in Köln kennen lernen zu können Ich muss sagen das du eine Mega sympathische Person bist und eine richtig gute Gitarristin :-)
Is Amy really really nice? I love Evanescence. Been a fan. I think the band the whole lot better with you in it. I'm never heard anything about Terry basamo since he left the band. Ive wondered what he was doing these days . My biggest disappointment with evanescence's we need a new record. It's been a gazillion years.
Love the H-S-H pickup setup Jen. recently "saved" a Strat body and rebuilt it with H-S-H and am amazed by the tonal variations between pickup selections. No coil taps but 5 way selector setup basic stepping back to front combining the next pickup in the chain at 2 an 4. Keep on truckin! cheers
I hate making that call the next day after and having to ask what stupid stuff I said. Or did. And who I did it with. Is there video? . Love the song. She looks like she's having so much fun playing that.
Doooooood.....you are absolutely amazing and a pleasure to watch playing.....I definitely fell away from Evanescence for a while.....but damn glad to be back....you are rockin!
This is beyond incredible, we're so glad to have you in our weird EvFamily!!
I'm gonna cry
And now??
Yeah it was so beyond incredible you kicked her to the curb behind her back , there's an essence to you it's full on stank !!!!!
And that moment Amy know she was the chosen xD
One of the most talented guitar ladies ever to enter a stage. 👍🔥
Two words
BAD-ASS

Terry Balsamos style helped shape The Open Door. It's my favorite album still.

Terry never 100% recovered from the issues his stroke caused.

🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
My problem is I'm always sober... sigh
Tim sollte mal das tapping benutzen. Hört sich furchtbar an wie er das jetzt spielt 😢 Jen, du warst besser

❤
Hey Jen, great job! Also wanted to say it was a pleasure talking with you at the NAMM photo shoot! Kiana Shotgun =)
So it IS tapped. I was looking at a great tutorial that did it WITHOUT the tap, good as well, but I will tap it, since she Jen knows it first-hand
The British guy with the red Charvel that said the power chords were barred. Single finger. That guy?
