Evanescence Soup Thickens 2007-05-08 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 8 Comments | Former Evanescence singer/keyboardist David Hodges has strongly criticised the two musicians at the centre of the band's latest exodus, branding them "ungrateful."
"Amy and Ben started Evanescence," he stated in a posting on his current band's message board. "The three of us got signed and four of us (I tip my hat to the great Dave Fortman) made the record that it seems many of you love. No one else. What the hired band did do was accept the chance of a lifetime — be part of one of the biggest-selling records in the last 10 years and make more money playing in front of bigger crowds than any other musician we'd known.
"Are there sacrifices? Sure, life is full of sacrifice; if someone wanted to leave to be with their family, then that's understandable. But for anyone to be even the least bit ungrateful is mind-boggling. What exactly did they think they deserved out of this? Amy doesn't owe them anything, and anyone who thinks differently is sorely mistaken."
Guitarist Jody LeCompte caused ripples last week when he declared via a MySpace posting that he'd been inexplicably fired from the band mid-phone conversation: "Without any warning or negotiations for my future, I was fired for no good reason [...] I have now become just another of the people fallen by the wayside on the revolving door of her life."
Pun intended?
He went on to reveal that drummer Rocky Gray had quit the band in sympathy. Gray confirmed his departure from the band via his personal MySpace but could not give any further information as it would violate the terms of the contract he signed with Amy Lee upon joining the band.
Lee, for her part, released a statement confirming that Evanescence would continue and replacements are already being sought.

This is getting a little ridiculous now. I thought the other news bulletin was funny. But really, who gives a shit? They're just generic hard rock.This Message Edited On 05.09.07

This band was cool in 2003, but they're played out now.

I like them okay. They're good for what it's worth. I can't say the same about Amy Lee's persoanl self.
