  • As an Evanescence fan ever since Fallen its heart braking to watch this they were so close.

  • What's Ben on about.....Madonna is the biggest selling female artist of all time, check the Guinness World Records Mr.Moody :p

  • I don't know, I like Evanescence and Ben Moody with equal fervor and it's sad that they split, but in a way, I can understand. This really goes with the Goth scene, is the whole goth scene popular still? I don't really know, it was popular when I was in high school when Hot Topic and Matrix 2 came out, but after that, I think there's only so much one can write before your path is too narrow.

    I like Ben's voice but we'll just have to see what Amy comes up with in October; see how she changed...

  • Sorry but I didn't understand something cuz I'm not english and I don't recognize some words so.....has ben got a girlfriend/wife and a little baby?o.O Or is he speaking about someone else?And who's this girl ,if it is real and if someone knows about it?from when did he start dating her and stuff like that?

  • @MegginaSelena

    i didn't understand ANYTHING

    you ought to improve your english italian man

  • @HeroRloveYou2617 you're right ahahahahaha I really have to.Sorry,just forget all :)

  • @MegginaSelena

    no problem xD

    parlo italiano hahaha ... solo scherzo

    Sto studiando ^^

  • I love how people treat Amy like a godess yeah she has a good voice but shes terrible live. Look at the evidence the first album had some of the most badass riffs ive ever heard that didnt come from Tom Morello, james hetfield, slash etc all amy did was co wright average lyrics and write piano now look at the second album the riffs just dont give you the chills that first did and the songs just arnt that good what does this tell you it tells me that the band aint worth shit without ben moody.

  • @ThatFatPlumber

    my opinion.

    well at least half of it.

    i still like evancescence but i liked the Fallen record better than the open door.

    and Bens Songs sound still amazing and gives you the chills. and he has a great voice to ;)

  • You're F'kn KIDDING ME! Celine Dion??? BEN MOODY, get back to your roots!

  • Yea Dions Voice is awesome But Amy Lee Is more than awesome

  • Sad that they have so much pride, no room to say i'm sorry - someone has to start. Elton John - Sorry seems to be the hardest word

    Ben needed to know

  • lmao, people saying Amy's a bitch?

    Who's the dude with Bipolar disorder who reported that he physically and verbally abused Amy countless times? eh?

  • his beard looks like pubes..

  • real friends...? uhg! that hurt. He`s a great song writter and the band was much better with him on it.

  • @izizful Have you NOT heard that piece of shit We Are The Fallen 's album? Ben Moody at his best :D Even without Carly's manly voice, the music still sucks... For nearly 10 years Amy and Ben wrote and re-wrote those demo songs to get them perfect, for the album Fallen, but he obviously leans towards the pop music side, that's why HE left THEM. Amy said the reason she wrote The Open Door is because she doesn't believe in making the same album twice. So she made TOD different than Fallen. Better.

  • @TerraUchiha1 Have it you way I still don't like The Open Door.

  • Ugh Ben's a jerk. I don't know if I like Fallen or TOD more. They're both great. I kinda like their older music better though, like Origin and their EPs. And WAIT. David Hodges has blonde hair?! O.o Hmm... I miss him with Evanescence too... But I have a feeling that Evanescence's new album will be AMAZING! :D

  • What's with the skinhead/Neo Nazi I-am-a-mountain-goat look? He desperately needs to invest in a real wardrobe. He looks like he's still living in his parents basement.

  • Reall Friends.?

    Thats Rhudee.!!

    Amy Lee could be anyones Besttttt friendd.! :PP

  • Honestly? I really don't care who was "right" and who was "wrong". I like Amy Lee AND Ben Moody. Some of the things I hear Ben Moody say in interviews piss me off ("Now I have real friends"? That was rude and uncalled for.) but sometimes Amy Lee's interviews piss me off too. From what I've observed, she likes to be the center of attention a little too much. But again, I like both musicians very much, and I find it rather sad that they are no longer friends.

  • David Hodges pssht, what a dick.

  • I agree I think they are better off without each other. I think Ben pulled Amy down, and she even says she is happier now which is the only thing that matters. I just wish he wouldn't say the negative things he says when that old situation comes up.

  • I hope that he is having a good time in the band We are the fallen but evanescence is better off without him.

    You can't be in a band if the members don't get along and yes Amy is the heart of Evanescence I mean without her powerful voice and lyric writing there isn't much left. Terry does a great job on the guitar and also helps amy write so it's for the best

  • @TheSgtCP

    Why do you actialy wrote this?? Is this make a sense to tell the fan that his /her band are shit??This is an alternative american music ! If that ,the discussion about the place this band on a musical Olympus have no sense (Tony Iommi is the god and everybody know this!).

    And before you say another fan that his/her fav band is shit give me the list of your favorite bands Im sure I will make you doubt in your perfect music taste

  • you know you've hit rock bottom if you're a rock musician and now you're working with celine dion and kelly clarkson

  • Okay seriously Ben.. stfu. I'm sorry but what a sell out.. he used to write lyrics for one of the best bands eve and now he's helping pop singer like Avril Lavigne?

    He's nothing without Evanecence or Ay and he's bitter that he got replaed so easily. Yes his lyrics really are amazing, but fans won't want the new "solo Ben", especially those that are fans of Evanescence.

  • Whats The Song Playing...??Is He The Man Singing In It??

  • @TiANr0ckst4r

    Yep. The song is Everything burns. It was done for the Fantastic Four soundtrack. The female is anastacia.

  • I don't like what he said about having "real friends now" that was just rude... I bet he didn't have a problem working with evanescence when he was simming in the benjamens..

  • What ever happened to his solo album? Was it ever released in stores? I really want to buy it.

  • evanescence lost their original sound when ben left the band

  • which is a good thing, as far as im concerned, evanescence are a far more mature band who write about things that ACTUALLY matter rather than songs based on shitty little stores that moody made up

  • Have you NOT heard that piece of shit We Are The Fallen 's album? Ben Moody at his best :D Even without Carly's manly voice, the music still sucks... For nearly 10 years Amy and Ben wrote and re-wrote those demo songs to get them perfect, for the album Fallen, but he obviously leans towards the pop music side, that's why HE left THEM. Amy said the reason she wrote The Open Door is because she doesn't believe in making the same album twice. So she made TOD different than Fallen. Better.

  • hehe, his solo career failed!

  • u think u could do better?

  • i never said i could, plus i have no interest in that industry.

    but im just saying its hilarious because hes nothing without evanescence XD

  • look up 'We Are The Fallen - Bury Me Alive official video'

  • 1) thats not a solo career

    2) they arent even mainstream yet

    3) just because they have an official video doest mean they're hugely successful. moody just had a fair bit of money from the likes of celine dion, avril lavigne, kelly clarkson and mostly from EVANESCENCE

    4) nobody would have EVER heard of his band if it wasnt for evanescence LOL

  • I just said check them out. They are a band set to be BIG and mainstream by the end of this year. You put alot in that comment

    Oh and the open door sucked cock

  • i did...they suck....they are about as set to be a mainstream band as a leaf is set to be a tiger....

    you really think they're going to be a BIG mainstream band by the end of the year? well...lets see then LOL.

    the open door sucked about as much cock as a straight man in straight town. that band was a lot more mature and actually contained meaningful songs.

  • @ilikerockmusic123 Straight Town must've been one hell of a sausagefest then.

  • @TheOmegaAnon haha, love it ;) but honestly, the lyrics were a hell lot better AND even then the tunes were so much better it made my head explode.

  • @ilikerockmusic123 Nothing was really upbeat or moshable, so No.

  • @TheOmegaAnon so? just because a song is upbeat, doesnt mean its good...

  • @TheOmegaAnon AND would you really call anything from "Fallen" upbeat?...no you wouldnt and dont challenge my knowledge about their songs, i know each song and how sad or how happy it is

  • @ilikerockmusic123 I really don't give a dam about Evanescence. Yet I'm still interested in WAtF. Their music is actually something heavy yet intriguing and not similar and overly emotional.

  • @TheOmegaAnon You mean Amyescence right?

  • @iLOVEChihuahuas123 Yes. Or as I like to call it, that faggot ass band with s*** for direction.

  • @TheOmegaAnon heavy? i dont care a crap about heaviness lol, as long as it sounds good which watf fails to do in any of their songs.

    hell yeah watf sound very "different", just like all of the other bands that are "different" :/.

    anyway most of the overly emotional stuff taht came from evan was from ben moody like "my immortal" for example lol, and to my knowledge evan have like two or maybe three overly emotional songs, which i find is a good thing anyway

  • @ilikerockmusic123 And you have the nerve to put I like rock music for a username? Everyone who listens to rock wants the heavy sound. You're just an Amyfag. You don't really care about rock. And I'm pretty sure the only song you've heard by WAtF is Bury Me Alive, in which case your position falls to shit, since you have nothing to back up your claims except worthless opinions.

  • @TheOmegaAnon pink floyd dont have that heavy element to them at all and they're real rock. i consider myself more of an evanescence fag thanan amy fag, im defending evanescence not amy.

    plus evanescence are heavy just not as much as WATF, but doesnt mean they're better. if u base a band on just how heavy they are then you dont really care about rock either.

  • @ilikerockmusic123 If you're into classic rock, then your position stands. However, modern rock is all about getting the crowd active and full of energy. No, Evanescence is not heavy when they put tracks like "Good Enough" on their albums. And if you're defending "Evanescence" you should be openminded to this band as well as Amy's band, since "Evanescence" is in both bands. I don't care if you think one band is better than the other, as long as you actually listened to enough material from both.

  • @Lukezzz93 oh so big, 13,000 in the first week. Hit Billboard top 200 at 33, droped to 104 for the second week. tomorrow we will see how much farther they have dropped. The Open Door did way better than tear the world down

  • @BiteOutOfCrime1

    Woah woah woah, I never said it would outsell The Open Door, or be AS popular. I just said they would be a mainstream band. The first single was released a YEAR before the album was even released, no wonder it hasn't charted well. It did chart well for a song released over a year ago, however. Also, after the next single comes out we should talk about this more, I have no doubt it will improve the band's popularity.

  • Have you NOT heard that piece of shit We Are The Fallen 's album? Ben Moody at his best :D Even without Carly's manly voice, the music still sucks... For nearly 10 years Amy and Ben wrote and re-wrote those demo songs to get them perfect, for the album Fallen, but he obviously leans towards the pop music side, that's why HE left THEM. Amy said the reason she wrote The Open Door is because she doesn't believe in making the same album twice. So she made TOD different than Fallen. Better.

  • @TerraUchiha1 That's a matter of taste, I saw them live before buying the album. they're pretty dam awesome live and the album has lots more variety than fallen did

  • What a fag....

  • WOW. Josh Hartzler, Amys husband, Co wrote the Daughtry song too.. Fuck this.

  • Your exactly right Ben Moody, no one cares. Your trash. Go die. Im done.

  • the guy doesn't look like he spewing hate he is just moving on

  • "I have real friends now..."

    What does he mean by THAT? -.-

  • Lol at iLOVEChihuahuas123. but ur so right about the evanescence well kinda. I mean AMy had ideas to. I say if someone had to go it would have to Ben even know I wish he were back. I give just don't get the difference in Evanescence or We Are The FAllen bc its the same ppl except Amy's not there? make u think ya know?

  • Amy Lee's voice plus Ben Moody's ideas = Evanescence.

    they should become friends again. But carly smithson will make sure that never happens LOL!

  • what about Terry's and Amy's songwriting+music? You know, both terry and amy write music. and terry's sick, amazing guitar riffs? and amy's angelical vocals? and her piano skills, her harp playing and ALL OF their stage presence? does that not count? D:< evanescence is SO much better without ben moody, as I see it.

  • yeah, you keep telling that to yourself until you believe it, ok?

  • Have you NOT heard that piece of shit We Are The Fallen 's album? Ben Moody at his best :D Even without Carly's manly voice, the music still sucks... For nearly 10 years Amy and Ben wrote and re-wrote those demo songs to get them perfect, for the album Fallen, but he obviously leans towards the pop music side, that's why HE left THEM. Amy said the reason she wrote The Open Door is because she doesn't believe in making the same album twice. So she made TOD different than Fallen. Better.

  • i think evanescence benefited a lot from his input and guitar playing when they started and he does have a good presence on stage, but after fallen i think he was definitely holding her back and agree that evanescence is better off for him leaving. he has turned into a jerk since since fallen. amy has such a great stage presence about her and i'd like to see what's in store for the next evanescence album.

  • my thoughts exactly. I actually have a good reply for your comment but I will post it later because I kinda forgot what I was going to say. ;)

  • @evanescence9314 Terry blows. His riffs are boring and repetitive. Evanescence DIED when Ben left. Fortunately, he (and all the original Ev members for that matter) brought it back as WATF. Amynescence, the Ev. we have now, is nothing but a hollow shell of what it once was.

  • @gorboy hahahaha yeah right. wait, oh....youre serious? ......

    shame on you.

  • @gorboy Have you NOT heard that piece of shit We Are The Fallen 's album? Ben Moody at his best :D Even without Carly's manly voice, the music still sucks... For nearly 10 years Amy and Ben wrote and re-wrote those demo songs to get them perfect, for the album Fallen, but he obviously leans towards the pop music side, that's why HE left THEM.

  • @TerraUchiha1 Finally I know I'm not the only one who thinks Carly sounds like a man ))) but I like Ben songs though

  • @January20Covers I do too, nothing will ever replace "My Immortal." :)

  • @evanescence9314 check out fallen's songs ant the open door's songs ! There is no comparison . Ben Moody is the best ! . Evanescence is nothing without Ben Moody . His lyrics are bestt

  • @BenMoodyFan but hes ego is too big.. and if you didnt know the songs from fallen were already made 3-4 years ago before the release of fallen they both equally wrote the fallen album along with david hodges

  • @kaarankin69 .. Amen .

  • @BenMoodyFan The open door cd was SO much better . The fallen was number one no doubt about it .. all the evanescence fans fell inlove with evanescence because of fallen but you cannot compaire the two. The open door was more experimental .. new mood , she sang about love but she also sang about motivation and strength and power .. she sang to inspire . The lyrics are outstanding in the open door and sorry to tell you but evanscence is number one in the billbord charts .. where is bens band?

  • @Riotmix yerr TOD was a much better album because i know this for a fact. If you listen to all the songs on FALLEN all the guitar riffs and chords are the same i know this cause i play guitar. TOD could of surpassed fallen's 17 million units sold only if the band didn't fall out in mid 07 cause by that time the album has already sold 4million world wide in only 7 months. Then by the end of 07 they took a break then by 08 no one heard of Evanescence thats why TOD sold less than the FALLEN album

  • @kaarankin69 I agree . 

  • @kaarankin69 It's not just the guitar chords, the piano and the orchestrations and the mood,and the themes from the lyrics.I pretty much like every song off The Open Door, but Evanescence as a creative union (more like Amy and Terry now) will never top songs like Haunted,Whisper or My Immortal,they have so much strength in them.

  • go back to the chihuahuas

  • Comment removed

  • They should just bury the hatchet and get back together.

  • great

  • who cares what they are like in real life, the only thing that matters is that Evanescence was a good band, and that the music is awesome

  • all he ever wanted was the spotlight... im not just following amys opinion either. its evident in old interviews and stuff. hes an attention whore

  • @helxig TOTALLY AGREE WITH MY MAN!

  • @helxig

    That's pretty funny considering Ben Moody left because of Amy's own views towards fame and success.

    Each to their own, I guess. Ben and John are a lot better off nowadays than Amy Anyway. She's all alone in her pedestal of fame, I hope she's happy.

  • @TheKatIsBackAgain Hah. "Each to his own". That's actually a saying I use a lot myself. I think they're all doing well now. They just didn't work very well as a team, their ideas were all different and their personalities conflicted. She is happy nowadays actually. I think they all are.

  • @TheKatIsBackAgain she isnt alone :P

  • @helxig and amys not ?? cmon

  • Yes I give you right . . .@

    vanessaweber . . .

    They are better of her own way...

    Moody has splitted the band

    He has made the band almost broke

    The band was not only his work, including the work of Amy Lee

  • Ben Moody is good and all but I think he and Amy are better off on their own. Fallen was good with them collaborating, but I personally think that the Open Door is way way better and that Terry is a better writing partner for Amy. They're both happier anyways

  • Yay! The Open Door WAS way way better!

  • i think that can be argued both ways. i love both of them for different reasons and love origin as well. its just the band's progression. they definitely have different sounds to them.

  • @Herochanluver The Open Door only had two good songs on it. The rest was subpar compared to what the band had done in the past.

  • @gorboy Do you not see I said that 10 months ago? I don't even like Ev anymore. ¬.¬

  • @vanessaweber

    no way

    open door better the fallen?

    nooooo

  • ben moody is pure perfect. evanescence wont ever be as good as they were because he left.

  • miss old members of evanescence....they look so complete

  • The fact that Amy Lee is the only one left makes it just pure hard-headedness to believe that any of it was Ben's fault.

  • Amy Lee said that her and Ben isn't as close as they were and that it was an act, they even rode on different tour busses because of their differences and that they couldn't get along like they used to.

    than after that Ben left Amy a message but Amy didn't reply, and in the message he said that the door is open.

  • God people go get your facts right!

    Ben and Amy are like best friends . . they formed the band when they were fourteen.

    go wiki the band!

    I wish Ben never left :(

  • I think it's cause he looks like a total douche. lol

  • ben moody sux just plain sux!!!! i honestly think Amy Lee loved him and 2 spew all that crap "i got real frends now" thats screwed up!!!! u left ur real frends wen u left the band amy is bettr then celine dione and kelly clarkson !!! i used 2 respect u ben moody but now iv lost all the respect i had 4 u good luck with anothr fan evanescence 4evr!!!!

  • And because they said that to press, it's true? You don't know any of this people, so stfu.

  • Hello???? Amy did'nt fire them! They left because they didn't want to tour anymore!!

    Get your facts straight. They're best friends.

  • SOOO true i completely agree. I mean ya it was just creative difference lol i cant believe anyone would think she fired anyone

  • they are now touring with we are the fallen. i think it might have been a combination of things and i honestly don't have all the facts but john and rocky are touring so i don't think that was the reason.

  • @zor33l Yeah, Amy Lee is a fucking diva trying to pose as something genuine. The ENTIRE band left her or was fired for a reason. She's a bitch, plain and simple.

  • @gorboy AGREE..theres a reason why she is the only one left

  • @gorboy

    lmao, she's a bitch? How? How is she a "bitch"

    And she's not trying to "pose" as anybody. She's herself. Her music is original. She wears dark clothes a make-up ONLY for the stage.

  • oh yeah ''you got REAL friends now??'' grrrrr

  • u suuuuuure about this??? and what mounth??

    couse am planing to do something

  • i hate him.

  • get back to evanescence !!

    u the best !! plzzzzzzzzzz weee missed u

  • All I got to say is: Check out "The Last Song I'm Wasting on You" by Evanescence, with Amy Lee on vocals and piano. That song is powerful - and she wrote it alone.

    Evanescence is hardly dead.

  • its awesome song :D love it too but

    EVanescence not dead !!

    evanescence for ever in our heart whatever it happen

  • yah but hey guys we have to edmit he rought best songs for amy lee and they were doing great together evanescence that sen they were like beyond celine dions but that was long time ago now he became an ass !! anyway i wanna ask you something is evanescence are no longer |?? or if they righting an new album??? plz unswer

  • there writing new music that will be out next year!

  • an album is coming out in 2010 i think

  • are u sure about that ?????? O_o !!!!!

    am the biggest evanescence fan ever !! but i didn't hear that

  • "We're currently working on new material that I'm extremely excited about. I believe that to make great music you have to give yourself the freedom to evolve. I don't see the point in making the same record twice, so I always want to challenge myself to make something better, stronger, and more interesting than before. That takes time, but it's worth the wait for me. Hopefully, it will be for the fans too. Look out for new music next year..."

    -Amy

    i got that from the website

  • Yeah i read this too,i am so excited...it is true...i can't wait,really, i just hope her personal life(her beign happy now etc) won't change that beautiful music..

  • Man fuck you ben WAS evanescence and they terry fucking suck dick he is the worst guitarist of all time, he sounds like shit, and after john lecompt and rocky left there is no more evanescencee

  • hardly

  • @hoodiebmx2008 Um, hello? They weren't even Evanescence. The true/original Evanescence, the ones who made all the songs, not just toured, were Amy and Ben. John and Rocky were just hired back-up.

  • ugh he sucks at singing.

    no wonder he had to go to rehab shiit i would be addicted to drnking and drugs if i got out of Evanescence too lol. He works with poppyass acts now. Sucks for him.

  • i miss good guitar solos, but then again Ben thinks he is Zakk Wyle sometimes. hes adorable.

  • Eveanescence is better WITHOUT him.

    Before, like fallen, the songs were minaly chords. The most personal thing on the record was my immortal, which AMY took and renovated because the original was JUST CHORDs like most oof his songs, i'm not saying he's a bad song writer, it's just that all those songs shouldn't be put on one record. I regret not getting the open door now. It had a lot more variety.

  • New sound that is...

  • Ben Moody's Really Cool !!!

  • I hope to return to Evanescence

  • btw ben u suck!

  • what the hell if you dont like her dont watch her and shut the fucking up bitch...u shouldn't say these thing for her...and i bet ur voice suckkks

    bitch

  • rock lee and bruce lee is better

  • Evanescence is good when have him or not.

  • Evanescence was good with Moody and still is good without him. I can wait for april 2009 because Amy Hartzler is going to sing new songs on the TV show lyrics & legends. I can't wait for Evanescence's new album

  • FUCK MUDY ;)

  • who are you to coment evanescence????

    YOU SUCK SON OF THE BITCH

    EVANESCENCE FOR LIFE THE BEST ROCK BAND EVER<333333

  • I actually kinda like Evanescence without Ben. I think that The Open Door is 10000 times better than Fallen, but thats not to say that the old band was terrible its just that I like the sound and the music with the new album and band better. Ben is a great artist and he and Amy together did a wonderful job with Fallen.

    Now I think I'll check out some of his solo stuff.

  • LOL! Evanescence are a BIG 0 without Ben!!!! Evanescence become so famous with Ben's songs. now Evanescence are just one more band for advertise!!

  • He still collecting the paychecks from the co writing of a lot of the Evanescene songs,so all is not lost

  • david ben and amy the best trio for music

    please make more music together if only everyone wished it to come true...........

  • i still love him

  • dont forget this is a been moody video not an evanescence video!! go and watch the band videos!! let ben fans alone!!! We love him and i do love it too

  • I can't wait to hear his solo album. He's an amazing writer among many other talents. I do love evanescence but i don't think that has anything to do with him at this time he's moved on and I think his solo album will be worth taking a listen to.

  • come on !!! back to evanescence !!

    u the best gutiarest man i ever know !!

    plzzz

  • wondered what he's been up to all this time, great talent though

  • my opinion:

    Ben/Amy both very talented and they are best when together...Ben is more into writing and making songs to please general audiences to win more grammies, Amy is more into just writing making music that she loves.

    You can clearly see the difference between the two album, Fallen is more the general audience, Open door is more personal, not everyone can relate or will enjoyed it.

  • Fuck celine dion

    she makes me want to blow my brains out

  • wtf Stop!

    BEN SUCKS - i wish he died-

    AMY ROCKSSSSSSSSSSS :D

  • how rude!

  • Relax Etiros, They are doing well. Very well and I'm happy about it. However Ben is a great musician as well. I couldn't imagine how difficult it could be for either of the two. I'm not going to sit here and call you a "fucking tard" over something in life that happens often, it's called Difference of opinion... Can't anyone agree to disagree without trying to tear someone a new ass? Anyhow, you've made a good point, but your not the only one who has. State your opinion, not be a baby about it.

  • im a friend of Ben sort of like a family friend and ive taken a class for modeling form excel modeling in north little rock his mom mellissa and dad ben moody the 2nd met them they're cool ben moody1 and 2 were best friends to my uncle too bad i don't know him

  • this kinda reminds me of John5 leaving manson...except ppl want Ben back. lol

  • What? why is he mad with evanescence? and dude I'm telling ya. If amy lee would have sang "because of you", wow! That would've been a bigger hit I think. or I don't know. maybe
