Ben Moody Explains Evanescence Split (Top Story)
. In a post on an Evanescence fan site, Moody (who is now a member of We Are the Fallen) explained his point of view on the situation: "A cruel fact of life is that the person you are at 15, doesn't resemble the person you are at 18 and 21� and today I in no way resemble the person I was when I was in Evanescence. Sometimes you grow together and sometimes you grow apart. We both contributed to the resentment of the deterioration of our friendship that quickly turned into a downward spiral of animosity, conflicting opinions, and a very volatile environment. By the time we went on tour to support Fallen, it sadly was over. Ironically, it was Amy and my absolute equal devotion to Evanescence that drove us to such extreme opposition. We had such opposing desires and personalities that mixed with the pride of youth and inexperience (and an extreme amount of insecurity and loss of direction on my part) led to an all out war." According to Moody's post, he was trying to force Lee � his friend since 1994, who had gotten most of the media attention as singer � out of the group. "I had tried before, out of ignorance, pride, and resentment, to convince Amy that she should leave. That we'd be better off and Evanescence didn't need her," he wrote. "I was hurt, and wanted her to hurt like me. Amy, if for some reason you happen to see this, I hope you know I never truly believed that. There was no way I would ever let someone walk on that stage and sing your lyrics." - more on this story Preview and Purchase Evanescence CDs |
