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 having doubts about this then go to:

And see for your self. I can't wait untill Evanescence brings out their new album and shows WATF just who they're really competing with. We Evanescence fans need to stick together. Enjoy the vid. xxx

Well, I can see some resemblance between them and Evanescence, but I don't think they're trying to copy them. In my opinion, a lot of other singers dress up the way Amy Lee does. Like Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil, and the girl from Nightwish (I wish I knew her name, but I currently don't). And their music is actually pretty good. I like them, and I think they're a fantastic band.

My opinion is that I love Evanescence and We Are The Fallen, but I will for everyone else's benefit say that I do like Evanescence a lot better. :)

PS: I wasn't a fan before I read the article, I accessed the link and watched some videos of the songs by We are The Fallen, and that's when I liked them and therefore became a fan ^_^

Hi, Sapherequeen, That's cool, don't feel like you have to say that Ev is beter cause of this article. Im open to everyone's opinions. It's good that you like WATF and all, but the only reason why im so against the the band is because of a comment Ben made in an interview. He said, "This band is going to bring more power then Evanescenece could ever muster" So I think for him, and the other Ex members of Ev, it's like there way of trying to get back at Amy or something? I don't know, but im kinda feeling a little sorry for Carly been dragged into all this mess.
But yes, you are right. Any female fronted rock band that has dark hair and wears all black, is atomaticly going to be compared to the band that has been around longer than they have.

Thanks Everyone for your comments. :)

I understand how you feel and accept your opinion as well. Thank you for accepting mine :)
And you are welcome for my comment.

PS: I truly think Evanescence is better, though. Maybe the words, "for everyone else's benefit" were wrong to type...
