The guitarist left because the band was originally a Christian rock band and Amy Lee was apparently fine with changing that to fit a more lucrative audience.I was a huge of Evanescence back in 2003 to 2006.
It was weird when the co-founder of the band, the lead guitarist, quit only 6 months after the band got its huge break of being on the Daredevil soundtrack. They were huge, and he just left supposedly frustrated with the lead singer, Amy Lee, was getting all the attention.
Walking away from a band you created and were going to be making MILLIONS of dollars a year playing in? WTF...
Then over the next two years each of the other three band members leave, and Amy Lee gave very smooth answers about it in interviews, like a smooth politician.
So I came to the conclusion that Amy Lee is a complete bitch behind the scenes. It's the most likely scenario, and I'm damn sure that's the case.
Its sad, because they really had some great songs.
De La? Still decent imo.Most hip hop groups from the early to mid 90s

Tool, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails.
I like the music but the lyrics are just too heavy for a 31 year old who took way too long to get his life in order.
I’m trying to keep myself upbeat and I don’t think I can do that by repeatedly listening to great music with lyrics and singing that describe depression or other forms of torment.
I can't listen to music anymore. I am not a teen anymore and I realize most of it is negative stuff made by jerks and I wouldn't want to support that trash or put it into my mind.

Don't hide from your problems ignoring them won't make them go away.
I don't feel depressed when listing to said music. Well, maybe some NIN stuff is pretty rough. But the TOOL and APC stuff I find pretty cathartic for the most part.
Yeah. I've never understood the notion of "sad music makes you sad" or whatever. I listen to a lot of pretty "depressing" stuff, such as funeral doom, death/doom and the likes - hell, Chelsea Wolfe (my AV and sig.) isn't exactly lighthearted fun - but it's great music and hence it puts me in a good mood. When I'm done crying, obviously ...
A couple of years ago I seen an I Love the 90's tour and it was glorious. Salt N Pepa, Coolio, Tone Loc, Colour Me Bad, Young MC, and Vanilla Ice.Most hip hop groups from the early to mid 90s
You're in luck. Music nowadays is upbeat and gay as fuck.I can't listen to music anymore. I am not a teen anymore and I realize most of it is negative stuff made by jerks and I wouldn't want to support that trash or put it into my mind.
I typed " said " music, it wasn't a typo. For the record I don't consider TOOL or APC sad music. Maybey some NIN. But this all sybjective.
Cheers.
I wasn't thinking you made a typo. I was more referring to your point about music being cathartic, hence the comment on "sad music" not necessarily making you sad.
Can it be like 1 song? there are a lot of bands that I liked 1 song from but could not get into and the did not really like afterwards (not even the 1-2 songs).
