Amy Lee and Evanescence got me through high school. Can’t love this woman more.
Straight facts evanescence and Linkin Park
Same
Hell, they’re still getting me through stuff
@@hrafna777 Sheep.
@@EdwardJohns-be6ri huh?
She's still just as stunning as ever😮
Right she’s so beautiful
Amy Lee is a princess for real I love this woman
Doesn’t everyone she’s still beautiful years later
What an inspiring and amazing artist she’s evolved into. When she could’ve so easily just kept releasing albums and kept surfing that wave back then, she stood her ground and decided to go for quality over quantity. You can only respect her for it. I’m excited to see her next record
shut up
I love her. Shes the reason i started singing, and she got me thru so much stuff in life. Im 32 now and and she has still been my #1 since i was a teen.
u prolly suck n arent good at all doe
The era around Fallen was simply unbelievably good. Rock/metal was at its peak with bands like Evanescence, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Korn and many others. The music and vibe of that time can't be compared to anything that came after. I am grateful that I was able to experience this time.
Don't forget the likes of Opeth, In Flames, Lacuna Coil, The Gathering, Soilwork, Evergrey, Chevelle, Incubus, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Ra, Dredg, Porcupine Tree, Oceansize, Mudvayne, System of a Down, Fair to Midland, QOTSA etc
Her singing is so deep and unique, what a special woman
its aite
Amy Lee is my biggest idol. Always inspiring listening her speak. 💜
She’s the best years later she’s still beautiful
If you want to idolize someone what you shouldn't but if you do. You might want to idolize the veterans of this country that have made it. What it is today or you wouldn't have a country to live in. Instead they lay on the streets homeless. While our current president, Leaves our Borders open. For tearrest and a legal stuff come in every day to make our country unsafe. Get your priorities straight. She sings in a band. ( sheep!)
@@stephenrybka1200 What does her beauty have to do with anything. I don't hate the woman. I don't like what she stands for. Families can't feed their children. Hardly put gasoline in their car. And she helped get biden in office. People should not lose their celebrity to do that. They're entertainers that's what they are they're entertainers they're not gods. They're no better than anyone else Just like me and you. If you want to help the world. Go feed a homeless person.
I am 68 years old and discovered Fallen when it was released. I knew immediately it was something very different and totally fabulous. Amy appears to be such a lovely vibrant person and for me she is the best singer I have ever heard anywhere. I love Fallen today as much I did when it was released. Thank you Amy.
this is so amazing that she really can touch the hearts of many generations! thank you for sharing, fellow evfan! 💜
I love this. To this day at 44 she remains my favorite artist in life. I didn’t choose this, rather it seems it was chosen for me. She simply seems to align perfectly and then some with who I am. The first 5 seconds I heard her music the first time I was down for life🔥🎶
her music helped me out of depression 9 years ago, and it still means so much for me. evanescence's music was my first source of joy after 2 years depressed, and the day I got to see them live was the best day of my life. she'll never see this, but thank you, Amy.
I was born in 2002 and discovered Evanescence in 2020. 3 years later they are my favorite band and Fallen is my favourite album.
When I was younger people would often tell me I looked like her. Her eyes are just amazing and her voice is incredible. One of my fave singers of all time and of my favorite artists ever
Amy Lee has been my huge sources of inspiration, empowerment!
She's a rock goddess 👑💗
Amy is one of the coolest people in rock. She's a legend and yet she's so humble and genuine. All the love and respect in the world for her.
I would loooove a release of the old, pre-Fallen demos. I used to listen to them all the time as a kid, and I've been a fan ever since.
Evanescence got me through life lol, high school, and then my kids were born. My oldest was born when the 3rd album came out, and I sang her Evanescence. Now she comes to the concerts with me and she plays piano now.
Watching her, watch Amy play at her 1st concert, brought me to tears.
i love how the interviewer didnt interrupt her
❤ she aged perfectly
Was doing my Industrial training in Total Upstream Nigeria in 2003 and my boss who is French gave me this album as a present. Fast forward to lately I saw Evanescence and Within Temptation in Glasgow. Phenomenal band!!!
One of the best voices. I'm glad that 2000's music is making a comeback.
I was in download 23 at the barrier and i saw evanescence/within temptation/epica ,that day was just iconic ❤
Amy Lee is a Earth Angel 😇 I've been a fan since I heard her rare voice
The face of an Era!
The amount of respect I feel for Amy Lee. What she said about authenticity is exactly why I love her. She's remained the same person, she hasn't lost her sh about fame and success. Grew up listening to her incredible music, her lyrics, her arrangements. Remarkable artist.
You don't remember her firing Rocky and John and turning Evanescence into the Amy Lee with Guests band because her ego went full blown diva?
@@beowulf1417 no, I remember her being the leader of the band she always dreamed of, denying the push to go more pop, and curating the band to achieve her initial goal. She did what she had to do. Happens in every band since the beginning of rock.
@@telugoe blind zealotry would be amusing if it wasn't so sad...
@@beowulf1417 exactly, did everyone just forget that? She's not authentic at all. She's egotistical and she looks rough without pounds of makeup on her face and honestly from the recent stage pics she hasn't kept herself in shape since having a child, the stage and low lights hide a lot.
so thats meant she was 21 while the debut album release wow!!🙏🏻
She’s come so far and I love how clearly it’s all connected for her. Love how she loves Imaginary still so much after all these years, how she talked about Download then and now and how she really clearly loves and appreciates the people doing it with her now❤
I'm sorry for the tragedy and her Life, Many people have suffered just as much. And more I don't hate the woman I don't like what she stands for. She shouldn't use her celebrity. The influence people's votes. That's why families can't afford groceries for their children and barely make it through another week. Because of her influencing voters to vote for the current administration. It's got nothing to do with democrats or republicans. I voted both ways. But inflation does not bother a person like this. Because they make thousands and thousands of dollars for every one dollar that you make. She was more concerned with her own agenda. And using her celebrity. To influence Voters. And here we are at the verge of world war three. Our economy is sinking fast. An amy lee is jesus wealthy. Doesn't have to worry about that at all. She's secure because of sheep like you. Don't make idols out of people. She's no different than you and me no better no worse. You want to do some good in the world help a homeless person
@@EdwardJohns-be6ri dude she didn't push her agenda on anyone. She advocated that people vote. Full stop. She didn't tell anyone who to vote for. She voiced her own opinion which celebrity or not anyone is allowed to do. All she advocated for is that people actually use their voices and go vote.
And calling me a sheep because I talked about liking her and being impressed with her?? Sorry man that's dumb.
And you have no idea who I am. You saw one comment of me online and started judging and putting me in a box. I find that problematic af. You don't know anything about me so don't start throwing "advice" at me.
Amy has got more beautiful over time.she definitely has a timeless beauty 😍
Absolutely love her music…..the one thing I admire about this band is that they are totally unique….they have their own sound and style…
This queen, she's always been awesome and her voice is like a siren.
Amazing Amy ❤ can't say enough how your songs helped me through life. And it still does.
Omg I saw her in corpus Christi Texas 2004 with Seether breaking Benjamin and three days grace I've always been in love with her ms Amy Lee she came out and white thight apple bottom pants white spaghetti strap with white angle wing with a white Baldwin panio playing broken with seether straight 👑
Props to the man doing the interview for asking good questions and letting her talk. It was really cool to hear some of her story.
Loved that album. Still have CD I bought in 2004 . Amy's still smokin hot. 😍
She still look young!
She brought the iconic eyebrow ring back!!! She's the reason I pierced my eyebrow. 😊
Same here
Amy looks so beautiful
Just recorded a single with former Evanescence guitar player! Can't wait to release it, thank you Amy for inspiring me! #myelvis
I went to see her this summer and... Damn!!! it was my best concert ever!! including Korn🤘🏻
Also saw Halestorm twice this year(second time cuz it was nearby where I live so I said: Why not lol).
No wonder Amy Lee is friends with Korn and Halestorm(Lzzy Hale).
These three bands are the BEST!!!
Amy Lee 4EVER❤🤘🏻🎶
This woman's artistry helped me feel connected when I was closed off from society. Thank you Amy.
00:34 São Paulo Brazil was incredible - It's impossible to say right now, for the future, that 1 only show for Sao Paulo is enuff ....
Evanescence 4 life!
Absolutely queen. Love you forever.
best female singer ever love her
Pinkpop 2003, was a mouth open introduction gig, still a big fan after all these years, respect and love to Amy
My most listened to band on Spotify this year, Evanescence 🎵 and Amy Lee’s energy and lyrics~kept me alive, because it felt like someone else was battling similar emotions and issues. No one holds a candle to this powerhouse musician. Love her 🖤
Fallen is Fallening 🦋
I saw Evanescence when they came to Buenos Aires in October 17 and let me tell you, I hold that experience very dearly in my heart. As someone who's still considering pursuing singing as a career, and as someone who listens to heavy music normally, Amy was always a reference for me. I'm so happy she's experiencing 20 years later something she helped to create by being an inspiration: more women in the heavy music industry. Thank you Amy! If I eventually decide to pursue and I am lucky enough to be part of that circle, I will show you this comment and, with your consent, give you a big, teary hug. ♥
She is like medussa im always love looking at her eyes and i cant stop to not looking at her eyes❤
I thought I was the only one Amy’s eyes will hypnotize you! it’s not explainable there is something very special about this princess , and Those eyes are just like looking into heaven
Love listening to her talk about the music as much as I like listening to it.
Happy birthday Amy lee🎉🎉
Imaginary is my absolute favorite Evanescence song.
I remember the first time bring me to life was played on the radio in 2001, was first played on local rock radio station before it was played in the rest of the US radio stations.
Was blown away.
Thank you amy for your beautiful songs
Happy Birthday Amy!!!!
Still gorgeous till this day
Yesss be yourself!! Authenticity is what a lot of people are missing just as humans!!! ❤love you Amy 😍😍😍
Also watching her first tour in Germany was absolutely incredible
Seen them at Aftershock. Absolutely amazing!
Die hard fan since I first heard bring me to life when I was 10! I listen to Amy daily. Her music and voice has helped me through all of life's ups and downs ♡
I resonate with Evanescence and Amy Lee so much, since my middle school days, and I am so grateful for her and the music she creates being a part of Evanescene, soothing and connecting to me to open myself up more in so many ways more than one, especially in utilizing my own voice in covering the songs as I feel them so much and diving into my own work/creations
Really great interview guys! ❤
Amy! Just Amy! ❤❤❤
Rest IN power
I love her soooo much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amy Lee and her band Evanescence got me into middle school as well.
Love you Amy Lee ❤❤❤ you are my idol and have been since 2003 when I first heard bring me to life. Love you guys soooooo much.

Love her.
Thanks for amazing music 🌹🌹🌹
Awesome!! Interview AMY LEE💋💋☺👋
I Love Amy ❤❤❤
A fun rabbit hole from wrestling of all places led me back to them after not listening to them for over a decade. The other day I (finally) put together that one of my favorite wrestlers themes is a modified version of My Last Breath. Once I found out I also learned it was remastered, and released barely a month ago. Now I own my first vinyl, and I guess I'm officially a hipster d-bag. Thanks Father of the year Christian Cage for letting me rediscover my teens.
I love her so much, a true artist 🖤
Excelente entreviata ella a madurado en su musica ea autentica y siempre conservando su esencia

Evanescence Fallen was the FIRST album i brought from Media Play and listen to EVERY SONG WITHOUT SKIPPING
