What do te think about Evanescence haters?

first of all Evanescence are not copying nightwish,within temptation and lacuna coil cause Evanescence are better than them the only good just good band bettwen those is within temptation ,they're them selfs all those bands still the same in a bad way not in a good way,I find Evanescence have più interesting cause each album is different than the other,and te can't expect what they will do next
secondo If they think that Evanescence are an emo band then they don't know what emo means (stupid people)
and whats the crappy about Evanescence lyrics it's very honest and very true they just saying that cause they don't have anything to say
amy has an amazing voice they have soooooo many great preforamnce that mostra amy's amazing voice and how did they know that she whines while she singing???
finaly Evanescence are not a band just for teens cause the one that introduced me to Evanescence is 28years old male
there're teenagers who Amore Evanescence but those teens have a great taste in Musica and they're creative people, and those who saying that are young teens I knew that kind of people teens act like a grown ups but they have no idea what they talking about and if not then they were teens before ,what's the deal???
and I don't care for what they say I Amore evanescenec and they hate them it doesn't matter for me but the funny thing that they have to lie to make for them selfs an excuse to hate them and if they really don't like them then why do they care for them???
I hate tons of band but I don't talke about them except when some one ask me about what I think of them

the only word that I can describe them is jealous

Well maybe they look like that if you're not inside of their Musica and everything. Everyone has their own story and memory to every song of a band. People who don't feel the same way can't understand that.
But as long as they don't talk shit about them I don't care if they hate them. I like to be fan of bands which no one l know listens to.

everyone's entitled to their opinion, even if it is retarded. :D

Personally, some bands that are frequently being compared to Evanescence I actually prefer, like Within Temptation and Nightwish, because they are a tad più interesting to me in both their vocals and use of instruments and have più variety from album to album, while some other bands that Ev are compared to, like Lacuna Coil and Xandria, I think are a bit "bland" (but not even remotely dull, don't get me wrong!) compared to stuff Ev have done. I personally like all the bands te listed as examples.

But to clarify, Evanescence is NOT copying anyone. They began in 1994 and for the longest time Amy had no idea that the many Europeans bands Evanescence was being compared to actually existed. As for songwriting, I think Evanescence's lyrics are better than some bands up there and not as good as others (Nightwish has the best, IMO). Evanescence's lyrics can be dark and almost Gothic sounding (which is why they are sometimes inaccurately labeled as "gothic rock"), which some people sadly mistake for "emo". (Don't get me started on a rant about how emo and goth are nothing alike!) As for Evanescence being only for teenagers, many Ev fan ARE teenagers, so people immediately jump to the conclusion that the teen age is the only age that it is appropriate to like them. Another reason why people think that is because people generally stereotype darker-ish lyrics as "angsty", which is, again, a stereotype for teenagers. I don't believe it for a secondo because every single member of my family, even family members like uncles and older cousins, all like Evanescence. It really just is a stereotype.

However, I actually kind of understand the hate Evanescence gets sometimes. I'm sorry if this will offend anyone, but I don't put Amy's vocals on such a high pedestal as I used to. To me, her voice strains a lot, and although I think Amy really CAN sing, the strains can get irritating and it's obviously not good for her voice, which is one of the reasons why I honestly don't think she's as good as some of the European frontwomen she's constantly being compared to (sorry!). She's gotten much better, though, IMO. In addition to that the band, aside from Amy, hasn't shown much above-average musicianship. Taking both examples into account, can te blame some people when Evanescence, an extremely popolare rock band world-wide, begins to overshadow other bands that really do have better trained musicians and vocalists? I mean, it's completely out of line and as an Evanescence fan it offends me (I know it may not seem like it right now, but Evanescence is in my superiore, in alto 10 preferito bands of all time), but I understand the reasoning behind the hate.

I have no idea to act serious towards haters, so I'm just like... 'Hi! Heard te disliked Lovely Amy Lee! Does it Look Like I Give?' Yeah, I suck at trying to get mad.. but it does bother me, because I don't see how Amy and Sharon, Lacuana, Hayley, even Flyleaf, are that similar. It's only because they're all 'goth' and girls in a mostly boy band.

There are Evanescence haters,too??

oh,great!

Then,why don't we just start a war and kill each other so it will end at last!!

Cuz if te say that there are 2 sides,the true fans(the lovers) and the haters..
Then what i see is just FREAKS(in general)
Just pathetic people trying to prove something becuz they say so

They don't even know how to argue with someone and most of the times..They don't even know what they say!!

that's why i stay out of fights
i mean..it's insane
No words..I think u got my point

Some people have dumb opinions,ones that nobody cares about,like the people who say that,and ya know what i say to them?

How would u like annice hot cup of i dont give a f%*!

I think they get the message ^W^

Nothing... it's their opinion and their fault that they have no taste in music... and I could also say that Nightwish,Within Temptation and Lacuna Coil are "cheap copies" of Evanescence (That was just an example!!!)...

Evanescence is a band, that is making the coolest songs, and only Evanescence makes songs like this. Haters are envying, that their favourite bands are not like this one.

Nightwish and Within Temptation are nothing Compared to Evanescence.

I just wanna say to them that when Amy Lee starts to sing te shut the fuck up and listen.

Well,i like Evanescence and I don't really hate people who hate them! Everyone has their own taste for everything,after all!

They didn't copy them; those bands are just similar. Just like pop artists didn't copy other pop artists...
And they probably just can't relate on any level to the music. Their loss.

I think that people have a right to not personally like them but nobody should hate them

Idiots

I think Evanescence haters are fucking dumbass that have no lives and have nothing else better to do and they don't know what real Musica is. Why does there have to be so many haters? There's haters for Evanescence and Michael Jackson and Usher and all the good people that actually have a purpose in life. Maybe that's it. These people are haters because they feel they have no purpose in life. THATS IT!!!!!!!

I don't know,but i Amore Evanescence.

Some people just genuinely don't like certain bands and I'm okay with that. I can see how people would think their lyrics sound "emo" o "whiny" if they haven't experienced the things that they're talking about. They really are very depressing subjects like death, self-harm, suicide, abuse, etc. Those are all staples of the emo Musica so it's nt unfair to say they are "emo lyrics", and it's not an insult to call something emo so that doesn't even count as hate in my book. And I do see similarities between Evanescence and Lacuna Coil o Within Temptation (not really Nightwish) but not enough to say that Evanescence is a direct copy of any of them. Plus, Amy isn't very good live so I get people who say she isn't a good singer. I prefer her studio voice personally, but everyone has their own opinions and I'm fine with that.

Burn them.Burn all of them.

Wow everyone has really long answers...I think Evanescence is AMAZING and that's all that matters c:

To be honest I don't really think about the haters I just enjoy Evanescence's Musica :)

It's a matter of opinion and te are entitled to yours. But a lot of people like Evanescence (me included). For any to say any band with a female lead vocalist formed before o after the 90's/00's as a infirior copy to evanecence o vise versa needs to reeducated themselves. 1. Evanescence was formed around the mid 90's (94/95 possibly?) as most bands: nightwish (1996), within temptation (1996) , Lacuna Coil (1994) to name a few. For some odd reason these bands espically lacuna coil keep getting that EV copy label dispte the fact LC is Gothic Metal / Rock while EV is a Rock band (some call them metal but I think they are più rock than metal). Also LC has 2 vocalist while EV is just Amy. And since when is o was Amy an operatic vocalist? I know she did some choir in high school but operatic? Really?

I absolutely Amore Evanescence and there style of Musica but the real difference is between those other bands is they managed to become più commercialized and there's many pop listeners that listen to them. Amy lee sing very well and has performed with the like of Korn another band i love. But to compare them like a competition o challenge to those other bands is silly. They are special in there own way that's those other bands as I've Amore listening to there Musica as well. I have noticed they are all different from each other. But any true musician o Musica teacher could tell te that, so why compare? My personal preferito band is Nightwish with Floor Jansen As there Musica is poesia and they take te on a Journey there songs seem different then anything I've heard even other Symphonic metal bands are great but not the same. And Floor can do any type of Musica she sets her mind on look ant Beste Zangers you'll see she can sing Opera, Pop Rock just about anything and in many Languages. Including Disney songs like let it go from Frozen. Just because a band appears to be one's preferito doesn't mean we should dish against other bands. All these bands are great there is no real comparisons as what is my preferito may not be yours it's freedom of choice. Just Enjoy all these different flavors Musica has to offer and thank god it's not Pop lol just kidding.

Actually, the people that say Evanescence is not good surely haven't even listened to their songs and they judge from one song they have probably ever heard. It is vital that we mention that Musica is something subjective. However, lyrics and meaning in lyrics are actually objective, since from them te can realise whether a band o a song is better than others o not. Therefore, it is certain that people that say brutal things about Evanescence haven't even paid enough attention to understand their songs. Because if they had, they would have actually noticed songs with deep meanings: songs about social problems and media dominance, songs about fantasy,dream/ reality, about the importance of finding yourself, songs about death, suicide and God, and most importantly songs about mental illnesses and depression. Songs with which millions of people can relate to, because they are important to them. Evanescence is my favourite rock band. I have listened to other songs from various rock bands and they are all fascinating- as always. Nevertheless, Evanescence is always going to be my favourite of all and that's because of their messages, meanings and the lyrics. The songs are so lyrical and poetic, so beautiful. Lyrics that make tortured people identify with. They help them express and pull out their pain, sorrow, depression.
Although I am an Evanescence fan, I don't know even the half of their songs myself. I know only a few, but from those few that I know, I can surely figure out that this is a band that has many things to say, and even più people to help. These songs have helped me a lot during tough periods and I can always relate to them. Aside all those, Amy Lee's voice is just stunning! In the recordings of the studio versions she is simply astonishing and the only excuse to say that she is not a good singer is being deaf. Something that is even più underrated than the band itself is the music. The chitarra riffs are spectacular! And if te don't believe me, cerca it and te will indeed find out what te have been missing all along!
Evanescence is referred to as Gothic rock with metal influences. But, apart from all the labels, Evanescence is a band that has helped and still helps many people with tormented souls. Depression is a recurring theme of the band and depression -as a mental illness is highly linked with finding yourself. People with depression can actually perceive many più things than we can. Things with meanings. And even the people who haven't experienced similar pain can understand that the songs have deep meanings from the lyrics. I would never have expected that I would be here now, Scrivere such a long argument about why Evanescence is so fascinating, since I always took it for granted. I dare haters of the band to read the lyrics and try to understand the meaning first and not to jump to conclusions just from one/ two songs they have heard just to indulge their prejudged notion about the band!
