At 9:30pm The band kicked off their performance with a short intro, leading into a powerful 'Going under', and ending the show with 'Your star'.

But by the sounds of the fans, Evanescence's apearance was one of the best of the night.
"A totaly mesmerizing show, Powerful and passionate perforamnce by all the songs." - A fan states.
On top of the fans enjoying the show, it sounds like The band themselves had a blast. "The rain was falling, the gear was breaking, and we still has a kick-ass time! Thankyou Brazil, you rule" - Amy. Not only Amy, but also Terry, praised there...

The wait is over, Evanescence is back! On the 4th of November in NYC, just over 1000 people gathered into the tiny Manhatten ballroom, for a one time performance that sold out in just 5 minutes.

I really just want to voice my opinion about this new band 'we are the fallen'.
I saw them on youtube the other day and thought that they kind of seemed a little like Evanescence, so I did some digging and found out this.
The band is made up from former members of Evanescence, Ben moody, Rocky Gray and John lecompt. The lead singer Carly Smithson off American Idol and huge fan of Evanescence, happens to look like Amy Lee (lead singer of Evanescence)Is it by accident that ex members of Evanescence use a look a like of their former lead for their new band? I think not. 'We are the fallen' (WATF)states " were just musicians trying to make music. we aren't trying to re-invent the wheel of Evanescence, were doing something new". Really?? If they were trying to be 'new' would they look, dress, sound the same as Evanescence? would they do cover songs 'Bring me to life', 'my imortal' and 'going under' By Evanescence? Would they name their band after Evanescence's first Album 'fallen'? To me this band is a copy cat, and are not going to get very far, with their 'new' music. My opinion? This band sucks, and are trying to start a war that they honestly can't win! If your...
