I found this post by Amy Lee, Evanescence's vocalist, on their official message board. It is an apology to Cold and their fans. Read:
She said that Cold was going to break up because their guitarist left the band to join Evanescence. She also brought Cold's vocalist's personal life into the media. She had to apologize because she realized she was wrong. The bottom line is that fame got in her way. It happens. The only thing is that Cold fans AREN'T being unforgiving and they're tearing her apart. It's sickening, really. Cold has terrible fans.
Cold fans are rude. Actually, i'm a Cold fan myself but I wouldn't bash her like that. Sh*t happens, I think she's aware of what she did and why she did it. If your a fan of anybody, doesn't matter who it is really, but bashing another person for somthing they "supposedly" did but had no harm in it is no way to support a band of any kind at all.
Correction: Cold has loyal fans. They're just rude and a little too over-protective and tend to blow things out of proportion.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...I'm a Cold fan. I thought it was stupid of her to say but she apologized and that's all you can really ask of her.
For those interested, I'm going to post a portion of the interview. If any of the admins don't want it up, feel free to take it down. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Cashmere: Terry from Cold is on guitar now. How is he going? Amy Lee: Better than I ever expected, because I knew him, but I didn't know him so well that it was like we were best friends and I knew I could count on him and it's been such a relief, it's like one thing in a million other things that has happened so naturally. Terry's an insane guitar player with awesome stage presence. He has a good personality and he's down to Earth and on top of all that stuff he's a great writer and he's done a lot of great writing. I didn't really realise when we first brought him into the band, so all around Terry is one of the best decisions we've made. Tim Cashmere: Does this mean that Cold is now finished with? Amy Lee: I'm pretty sure it does. They could hire another guitar player and continue, but I'm pretty sure that their lead singer is in and out of rehab and having real problems. He has been for a long time and I don't think they're going to be making another record. Terry was in a situation also where their band was very unhappy, so I think we came together on a common ground. TC: So does anyone from Cold have sore feelings towards Evanescence? AL: I don't know! I haven't talked to them because we all went on tour together in the States, which is funny, that's how we met. Scooter, the lead singer was really hurting, it was not good, but the rest of the guys in the band are really awesome. I love Jeremy and Kelly's really cool and I was friends with both of those guys. I didn't know the drummer very well, but I don't think there's be any sore feelings, I think they were all pretty sick of the situation in their band.
lol When Will put Amy in the title I thought it was you at first . Im such a noob lol...I think that the fans had a right to be mad...AL was wrong but if she apologized she apologized theres nothing else she can do. Everyone makes mistakes.
especially famous people. [/b][/quote] No, it's cause the artist's mistakes stand out above normal people's ones.
I HATE AMY!!! evanescene sucks....im going to tell my friends and everyone now haha...i hope they will get less fan after this ####.
You REALLY need to stop saying a band 'sucks' without a reason. Just stay out of the topic if you don't like the band. It isn't that hard.
Y'know, I read some of the replys to Amy's post, and these people are reacting horribly. I swear I've never seen the F-word used so many times in one sentence..... Well, except coming from Chester
