Amy Lee

[december]

How many people have left the band after falling out with her? 3 or 4? I don't like her, I think she is quite unattractive and cannot dress. Nor is she that talented-there is no real emotion in her songs. Call me when you're sober could be really gut wrenching but its not.

Sorry this post may have been influenced by spending a day with my friends arsehole boyfriend who loves her (and the band).

I love her voice so much that I can forgive her probably anything.

According to gossip sites and messageboards, today is Amy Lee's wedding! I hope we get to see pictures!

My sympathy for her has decreased a lot these last days..but I'm still lookinfg forward to her wedding pictures!
Something like Dita von Teese wore for her wedding to Marilyn Manson, maybe?

A-greed! I have so much affection for her.

"Call Me When You're Sober" made me want to actually get married just so I can wear the Goth Red Riding Hood Dress as a wedding gown. If only I could find a man dumb enough to marry me.....

I have just received confirmation from Amy’s father, John Lee, that Amy and Josh were in fact married on Sunday, in a very private ceremony. John says of the wedding “The big deal at the wedding was the flowers. Many, many flowers. It was absolutely beautiful and everything went perfectly.” He also added that the newlyweds are now on their honeymoon on a remote island.

Hey guys. Wow, there is so much to say, I don't know where to start. First of all, and most importantly, I am now officially Mrs. Amy Hartzler! Josh and I are married, and it is the most incredible thing to happen in my life so far (and I've seen some pretty incredible stuff). We just got back from our beautiful, remote honeymoon 2 days ago, and unfortunatley discovered that the fact that I was unable to defend myself for a week was taken advantage of quite a bit. Here's the truth, when I said that John and Rocky both made it clear they were ready to move on, I meant it. They were very vocal about the fact that they didn't really care about evanescence at all, and just stayed around for the money. I knowingly let this negative energy grow within my band for a very long time because I was afraid of the appearance of falling apart, when in reality, trying to hold on to these guys is what was holding us back. I treated both john and rocky with nothing but kindness and respect, and I got nothing but jealousy and resentment in return. They were miserable. They are no longer playing with us because I love this band too much to see it driven into the ground. One little false fact that's been bugging me in the press about this- rocky didn't quit. He never talked to me or our management at all...but he did tell most of the crew and the rest of the band that he planned to quit during the 2 weeks off after our shows in south africa (during which I was getting married and would have no time to replace him). Fortunatley, many of those people care about this project and came and warned me, so we were able to replace him in time to continue the tour as scheduled. I then told John it was time he did what he obviously wants to be doing- playing in his own band. Because no one should be playing in evanescence that doesn't appreciate it- that doesn't love it. And especially not someone that is doing it harm. Being a touring member of a band when what you really want is to be a creator can be frustrating- I guess that frustration got the best of john.
...But that was last week...
So today was the first full rehearsal with Will and Troy and they are awesome. (For those of you who don't know, they are the drummer and guitarist from Dark New Day). I haven't seen Terry so happy playing guitar since before the stroke. They've been working their butts off for the past few days cramming the setlist into their brains and they sound great. Its amazing how good it feels to play now- no clouds over our heads, no conspiracy, no drama, just the love of music. Terry, tim and I are very happy, and seriously can't wait to start touring again. Will and Troy are a little nervous, but they shouldn't be, they both SHRED. Fellow DND fans, don't worry, the bands not breaking up. Were just borrowing Will and Troy for awhile (they are working on their new album now).
Well I hope that's real enough for you. I'm probably going to be repremanded for saying so much, but somebody's got to tell the truth. I'm wiped out. Need sleep! We love you guys, and we won't let you down. See you soon!
Love,
Mrs. H.

White Gown With A Pink Slip
Evanescence lead singer Amy Lee, formerly of Little Rock, wedded at her family’s west Little Rock home this past weekend.
Ironically, about the same time she united in marriage, news broke of a major split in her band, and speculation began that the Grammywinning, multi-platinum group’s honeymoon might be over.
But first, the happy news: The 25-year-old rocker married fiance Josh Hartzler, a 29-year-old New York-based therapist, on Sunday.
For the 1 p.m. ceremony, the backyard was transformed into a picture-perfect setting replete with flowers. And, no, the goth goddess didn’t wear black but instead opted for an ivory-hued Victorian style dress and veil.
Grandfather Bob Cargill of Fort Worth performed the ceremony. Sisters Carrie and Lori and friend Beth Wilson stood by her side, while Josh’s brothers Caleb and Aaron and his friend (and former Evanescence member) David Hodges stood by his.
Evanescence guitarist Terry Balasamo was among the guests. The reception, with music by Brian Nahlin and Nick Devlin, was catered by Capers and included a robin’s egg-blue wedding cake by The Blue Cake Company.
After a wedding night at the Peabody, the pair left for a honeymoon on an island south of the Bahamas.

Wait, did she really marry her therapist? That's not right.
