When playing in the Band Sandbox, I was first introduced to Evanescence by Justin A , our vocalist. https://steemit.com/rockstar/@gavvet/chronicles-of-alan-so-you-want-to-be-a-rockstar-finale(in case you are interested?)

The first song I heard by them was Bring me to Life ( above) and I was sold on them,

In no time had the first album " Fallen" The album was certified seven times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and was certified abroad.

It sold over 17 Million Copies Worldwide, so I am not to sure if My Purchase of the album made a huge impact on them financially , nevertheless , the intention was there!

Going Under

My Immortal

Second Album was "The Open Door"

This is the First Video from it, Brilliant!

Another Great Video to a Great Song.

Also from " The Open Door"

Probably My favourite Song by them

Anywhere but Home was filmed during Evanescence's concert at Le Zénith in Paris on May 25, 2004.

This was released as a Live CD and DVD and I got this straightaway. Strange thing about this was , when I took it home The DVD was fine but the CD had the right label on but was actually CREED Live on it,

Anyhow I was given a complete new Pair , and Gave the other one to a Good Friend of mine Dale P .

He became completely obsessed with AmyLee and Wonder of Wonders, Evanescence came out for a live show in Alberton South Africa, Dale Bought us both tickets, and off we went , 2007

Staind, 3 Doors Down, Evanescence and Guns n Roses ( Who did not bother to turn up).

The Show was incredible , Dale had an expression on his face that I can only say :- Looked like an Angel had come to visit him!

she was unbelievable on stage , so much energy!

They have had a lot of lineup changes , The following is as a result of one of those split-offs

Ben Moody was a co-writer of a lot of the early hits, and this is what he came up with!

Evanescence have taken many extended breaks during their careers , Check out Google , New Album due out 2017 plus World Tour.

I can hardly wait?, note to self" Let Dale Know!

I hope you appreciate why I am a Fan?

For those among you who are converted, here is the 2097 World Tour!

Wow!! This brings back memories!! Loved Evanescence when I was in high school 😉

Must have been a slow learner?, I was way past High School! Please excuse me,I am well known for being facetious!

Haha!! You crack me up @awgbibb ☺️

first time I heard the band was when my CEO at the time
introduced me to them- listened to them on and off, actually was listening to them this morning before seeing your article. What are the odds? will check their videos out

Real genius. I'm from music profession and I know how much effort it takes to complete a good music.

True, Thanks.

Sir Really Good music..this is my Favourite music band

You have great sense about music , i could say that.
and let us have the taste also by sharing.

love the music but the name...it means fleeting, as in fame is fleeting. Well, it doesn't appear to have hurt them any LOL!

Well?, they do disappear for a while every now and then!

My immortal is still my fav in my playlist.

As it probably should be?

Yeah!

very nice songs and music, thanks for sharing

Agree with you ..So popular music band

In High School Talent Unlimited, one of my Gothic friends let me hear Evanescence for the first time. After that I was hook by the vocalist range and expression. The musicians are sick, all of them vibe so well. As an vocalist, that is what i strive for when making a band. It has to be an undeniable vibe for music to come out right. awgbibb are you still in a band? and were you a musician in Sandbox and if so what instrument did you play? I love this post, it reminds me of why music, singers, musicians, and people of the Arts is so important.

I was the original Bassist, hardly touch it anymore, more into being a lyricist ( good one , I am told) Playing in a concert soon with My Son, and Granddaughter!

Thanks for the memories :) One of my most all time favorite bands

My Pleasure.

Fabulous Collection.This is truly above and beyond.
