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...

Carly Smithson, American Idol season seven alum, has formed a new band—but not with just any rockers. Smithson will be joining ex-Evanescence members Ben Moody, Rocky Gray, John Lecompt as well as Marty O’Brian to create The Fallen. Notably missing from the group? Evanescence lead singer Amy Lee.
Although Evanescence has sold over 15 million albums world wide, the band has been anything but drama-free. In 2003, Moody left the group citing creative differences and Gray followed suit in 2007. Lecompt was allegedly fired. While Lee replaced the original Evanescence members, the band has not released a studio album since 2006’s “The Open Door” and many fans speculated that Evanescence was on permanent hiatus.
After leaving the band, however, Moody did not want to see his vision die, telling The LA Times, “It feels like everything with our old fans is at a standstill. There’s not new music, there’s no tour. There’s nothing. So I reached out, and everyone was just ready to get started.”

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.
Extatic fans screamed a chant that hasn't been heard in 2 years "EVAN ES CENCE, EVAN ES CENCE". The Band played some of there old material from there first and second albums 'fallen' and 'The open door'
Sources say "The anguish in Lee’s voice was palpable, and the band skillfully replicated live what they do on tape." - Rolling stones
fans described the performance as "The best she's ever sang" and "flawless, and Amazing"
Amy thanked the fans for being so supportive for so long, and promised that new material was on the way. The band held the 'secret show' in NYC, as a warm up for the 40,000 fans that they will be playing for in Brazil on the 8th of November. (you lucky Brazilians) hehe. :)Evanescecne had fill-in guitarist James Black from 'Finger Eleven' play with them on the night. People described his performance as "Tight sounding and mesmerizing"
