Evanescence Names Permanent Guitarist
(LAUNCH, 01/19/2004 6:00:00PM)
By LAUNCH
Radio Networks
Evanescence lead singer Amy Lee has told Australia's
UndercoverNews website that former Cold guitarist Terry Balsamo is now a permanent member
of Evanescence.
Balsamo stepped in as a temporary replacement
late last year for founding axeman Ben Moody, who abruptly departed in the middle of a European tour last October. Lee said
that Balsamo and her band "just clicked" the more they played together. "[It is] better than I ever expected...Terry's
an insane guitar player with awesome stage presence. He has a good personality and
he's down to earth and on top of all that stuff, he's a great writer and he's done a lot of great writing. I didn't really
realize when we first brought him into the band, so all around, Terry is one of
the best decisions we've made."
Lee said that the move means Balsamo's former band, Cold, is probably finished.
"They could hire another guitar player and continue, but I'm pretty sure that their lead
singer (Scooter Ward) is in and out of rehab and having real problems. He has been for
a long time and I don't think they're going to be making another record. Terry was in a situation also where their band was
very unhappy, so I think we came together on a common ground."
Lee added that she was unsure if the hiring of Balsamo
had created bad feelings between the two bands. "I haven't talked to them. We all went on tour together in the States, which
is funny, that's how we met. Scooter, the lead singer, was really hurting, it was not good, but the rest of the guys
in the band are really awesome...I don't think there is any sore feelings, I think they were all pretty sick of the situation
in their band."
A spokesman for Cold's management told LAUNCH, "Cold is NOT over. Look for a new single soon."
Cold's latest album, Year Of The Spider, came out in 2003 and featured the Modern Rock hit, "Stupid Girl."
Evanescence
kicks off a U.S. tour on February 11 in Los Angeles, before settling down to write their second album. Ex-Limp Bizkit axeman
Wes Borland has also reportedly been working with Lee on new material.

EVANESCENCE Singer Confirms Possible Collaboration With Ex-LIMP BIZKIT Guitarist - Jan. 10, 2004
EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee has confirmed that the band are contemplating the possibility of working with former LIMP BIZKIT
guitarist Wes Borland on the follow-up to the triple-platinum "Fallen", tentatively due in 2005 through Wind-Up Records. "Wes
is a friend and we're talking about writing together on the next record," Lee told Australia's The Age. "But we'll see."
2003 ended on a sour note for EVANESCENCE when founding member and Lee's co-writer Ben Moody abruptly left the band in
October, mid-way through a European tour.
"It's actually been a relief," said Lee of the departure of her childhood friend. "I don't mean that as a negative toward
Ben, but we've all been through a lot and we were at breaking point. And the thing is, we'd got to a point that if something
didn't change, we wouldn't have been able to make a second record.
Asked if she is apprehensive about penning another EVANESCENCE album sans Moody, Lee got a little bristly.
"I've always written by myself, even when Ben was in the band," she said. "We wrote separately. I'd write my songs and
he'd write his and then we'd add things to each other's."
For now, though, one-time COLD guitarist Terry Balsamo has slotted in for the band's Australian tour, which sees them playing
Brisbane tonight (Jan. 10) and Sydney tomorrow (Jan. 11). And for Lee, things are just perfect again.
"We're finally a real band, not just Ben and I and a few others thrown together," she said.
The first show we played without Ben was sort of strange and weird and highly stressful. But when it was over, we had a
really big party because we just felt this huge sense of relief that we could do it without him.
"And it wasn't the end of the world and our lives would continue. Nobody died, y'know."

Evanescence Co-Founder Ben Moody Leaves Band During Tour |

Early last month, Evanescence headed for Lisbon, Portugal, with spirits soaring.
They were stoked about their successful European tour and excited to shoot a video for "My Immortal" in Barcelona on October
10. About two weeks later the bubble burst.
On the morning of an October 24 show in Berlin, guitarist and songwriter
Ben Moody packed up his gear and flew home, the band's manager said without giving a reason for the departure. Moody co-founded
the band with singer Amy Lee in the late '90s.
Shortly after Moody split, Lee told the British magazine Rock Sound,
"You don't do that to your band. You wouldn't do that to your friends or your family. You don't do that to anyone."
Moody's
future with Evanescence is unclear, their manager said, and the band has continued its tour with second guitarist John LeCompt
handling all six-string duties.
It wasn't the first time this year Moody had problems in Deutschland. In June the group
canceled a string of German shows because the guitarist fell ill. Lee first spoke about Moody's departure at a concert last
week in Manchester, England. "Ben flew home, but we didn't want to let it cancel the tour again," she said, according to Rock
Sound.
Evanescence's European tour runs through November 10 in London. The band will launch a North American tour
on November 19 in Mexico City. Dates run through December 14 in Mississauga, Ontario. Three weeks later, the band will begin
a tour of New Zealand, Australia and Japan. |
