    The era around Fallen was simply unbelievably good. Rock/metal was at its peak with bands like Evanescence, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Korn and many others. The music and vibe of that time can't be compared to anything that came after. I am grateful that I was able to experience this time.

    I'm sorry for the tragedy and her Life, Many people have suffered just as much. And more I don't hate the woman I don't like what she stands for. She shouldn't use her celebrity. The influence people's votes. That's why families can't afford groceries for their children and barely make it through another week. Because of her influencing voters to vote for the current administration. It's got nothing to do with democrats or republicans. I voted both ways. But inflation does not bother a person like this. Because they make thousands and thousands of dollars for every one dollar that you make. She was more concerned with her own agenda. And using her celebrity. To influence Voters. And here we are at the verge of world war three. Our economy is sinking fast. An amy lee is jesus wealthy. Doesn't have to worry about that at all. She's secure because of sheep like you. Don't make idols out of people. She's no different than you and me no better no worse. You want to do some good in the world help a homeless person

She voiced her own opinion which celebrity or not anyone is allowed to do. All she advocated for is that people actually use their voices and go vote. And calling me a sheep because I talked about liking her and being impressed with her?? Sorry man that's dumb. And you have no idea who I am. You saw one comment of me online and started judging and putting me in a box. I find that problematic af. You don't know anything about me so don't start throwing "advice" at me.

    I saw Evanescence when they came to Buenos Aires in October 17 and let me tell you, I hold that experience very dearly in my heart. As someone who's still considering pursuing singing as a career, and as someone who listens to heavy music normally, Amy was always a reference for me. I'm so happy she's experiencing 20 years later something she helped to create by being an inspiration: more women in the heavy music industry. Thank you Amy! If I eventually decide to pursue and I am lucky enough to be part of that circle, I will show you this comment and, with your consent, give you a big, teary hug. ♥

The other day I (finally) put together that one of my favorite wrestlers themes is a modified version of My Last Breath. Once I found out I also learned it was remastered, and released barely a month ago. Now I own my first vinyl, and I guess I'm officially a hipster d-bag.
