I picked up the disc tonight. Thanks to thawolfman... :) I usually listen to trance/euro/mix but I liked the sound. Sooo, I picked up the disc. Tracks 1-4 are great, 5 I didn't like, and I've not listened any farther. All in alll I like it, good tunes, strong vocal good arrangment. 2 thumbs up. They were in town on the 27th, but I didn't go. :(

I think my favorite tracks are 6 and 8.

Don't get me wrong about Bring Me to Life, but I have been listening to it for a few weeks now from the DD soundtrack.

I just listened to the samples on their web page & I'll likely buy the disc, but...

No offense dude, but don't ya think you're a tad obsessed with her?

Most pics of a concert would include more than just their lead singer.

;)

Good stuff, though. This will be two discs I've bought based solely off of posts on AT (never listen to the radio).

Dude atleast I got pics with each band member and not just her! ;)

You know how hard it was to get more then her or the guitar player from the front right of the stage? :D

The obsession's coming along rather well actually...I'm nowhere near the psycho that I was the few days after the concert - Now that was scary...:eek:

:p

I want full report so everyone knows the Leno show wasn't their fault AND that they rock without that lame guest singer.

What made you want to check them out? ;)

I am kicking myself in the a$$ about Thursday night. I got a little boozed at the local bar and forgot about Leno that night.

So how was their performance, Ben? Was it that bad, or did the guy that did the male vocals on BMTL screw it up?

Ack, the sound was pretty bad....

You can get it here. I haven't seen this one (MPG) but the SVCD one had pretty clear sound.

McCoy even missed a line...:(

Just watched it....Ummmmmm..... I think P. McCoy needs to practice a little more. :)

Overall though, I thought Amy sounded good and Ben did a great job on the guitar.

here is my report sir! :D

**Official and Confirmed!** - Kansas City Show Mar 8 ROCKED!!!

just got back from the Beaumont Club - Kansas City show , March 8th

the show sold out just minutes before the doors were opened

i arrived at 5:40 pm , went to the back door through the parking garage and there were 4 girls ahead, within 5 minutes there were 20 more people behind us

they opened the back door first, we got inside and one of the security guys said "wait! don't let anybody in yet!" , but we were already in :D

sat on the riser just to the left of the sound board, great view, about 50 feet from stage.

the first band , "The Tuesday Project" (or something like that) was ok, but everybody was there to see Evanescence, so they weren't to into it. the singer thought he was kurt cobain crossed with that screaming guy, i forget his name. the short guitar guy was pretty cool. they cut their set one short, they knew who we wanted to see! :)

ben came out with his hood up, with the lights down, looked pretty cool

they busted right into it, rocking hard!!
i must say the guitars sound better live than on the CD, they had the levels just right, Amy wasn't drowned , but i really, really liked the guitar sound live , it was fabulous.

Amy said there was 1600 people there! :Q
it isn't that big of club, it was wall to wall

the kids were doing the body surfing thing and everybody was cheering and loving it

great show! :)

the door was posted with "no photography" signs, but there were flashes going off the whole time, so hopefully somebody will post up the snaps they got :cool:

hey i loved the show, but the last time i saw live music was Devo in 1982 :D

BTW, who was the fifth guy? they either had a bass player or a third guitar, i couldn't tell for sure, but there was a tall guy in the middle that kicked ass, i think he was playing bass

:)

So they blow the Leno performance outta the water live, eh? And the cd too, eh? :D

Yeah the 5th member would be Will Boyd...plays Bass...He's only been playing for 6 or 7 shows, but he's awesome.

Evanescence r0x...and I have a follower..:Q

:D-Ben-:D

I have to LOL @ the wolfman comments in that thread, but I'm with what X-Man said - I really don't notice it.

How can you identify the DRC? Is it just because you can hear her inhale/exhale? :confused:

Very seldom do I bother pre-ordering anything, but in this case I decided to pre-order this CD from Deep Discount CD. Of course, being my first order with them, they decided to botch it. :disgust: They claimed my credit card was declined, despite the fact that there was over $1,000.00 free on there and the credit card company said it should have gone through with no problem.

I wound up re-ordering it, and discovered that while I had initially pre-ordered it for $12.89, the price was now down to $9.89 (All prices include shipping). So they screwed me over on getting it here ASAP but saved me a few dollars. :p

EDIT: Add me to the list of people that decided to check out and eventually buy their music because of what I read about them here.

Well I didn't see the Leno performance but their video for BMTL sucks. I expected a little better video for BMTL. Lame.....
