As announced last week on their
website, guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray are no longer with Evanescence. The reason is not really clear; the official statement from the band is that they were "ready to move on," though LeCompt
claims he was "fired for no good reason," and that Gray quit over the events. Apparently, they have a new band now. We'll see how that goes. The two were replaced with the guitarist and drummer from
Dark New Day, a band that's been around for a while, but found little in the way of commercial success. Anywhom, this means that Evanescence now consists of all of one original member. Amy Lee is all that is left of the group that recorded Fallen in 2003, and while LeCompt had one writing credit on The Open Door, and sang the male vocal part of Bring Me to Life in concert, I imagine very little will change practically with the band, as this confirms what their critics have been saying from the beginning: Evanescence is Amy Lee.

It's because her shirt is barely covering her, and the band members are tired of being ignored by the sad fanboys that are there waiting for her to pop out.
Ha ha...that could be it.
Evanescence is only popular because Amy Lee's voice is a)incredibly different and appeals to all the audiences that are sick of Mariah Carey voices and all these black hiphop girl voices, and b)because Amy Lee has an amazing range, both note-wise and stylistically. However, she has no real musical training, but when has that ever stopped pretty girls (and boys) from getting famous? Sure, the music's good, but I've always thought it was about her voice.
I imagine she must be hard to work with, though.
