They have nothing to do with it, there are not even contacts or collaborations or anything.

Of course this is very common of any band in any genre when a particular band gets big.Eric Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474566428504101761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553830799290471029.post-12756197258458246662010-05-01T14:23:55.283-07:002010-05-01T14:23:55.283-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Eric Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474566428504101761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553830799290471029.post-58159226253028555062010-05-01T14:11:02.811-07:002010-05-01T14:11:02.811-07:00I used to like them when they broke, back again in...I used to like them when they broke, back again in like - 2002? ah, it was 2003 actually - when I was still a total metal noob, but when I discovered Pandora in 2006 and was introduced to a lot of awesome symphonic metal, I gradually got bored of her voice and thought it sounded too whiny. Last year or so when I heard "Bring Me To Life" I was like: WTF? I didn't understand how I could ever have liked the song, and her voice.<br /><br />I, too, describe them alternative rock or pop rock with symphonic elements, at best. Not the worst music I know by a long shot, haha, I can imagine that there are situations where you are so desperate for decent music that you begin to appreciate them, sort of :P, but I can't stand how everyone tries to copy them now, they're a bane to the female-fronted scene.Almagesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737365394774242432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553830799290471029.post-34885795036690976092010-04-28T18:01:32.825-07:002010-04-28T18:01:32.825-07:00I personally don't think they are metal.

So Evanescence was just.. I don't know how to explain that.<br /><br />But, for as far that they are not metal, they sure are. They are just not the screaming type of metal.
