In a new interview with SPIN.com, Amy talks about the state of Evanescence, the band members who left and she reveals she has had a little bit of contact with John since he left the band.
Amy also talks about “Sally’s Song” and writing songs for a solo album. Read it below and after the jump:
On the state of Evanescence:
“It’s a difficult situation, as is every dramatic situation our band has gone through. John [LeCompt, guitar], Rocky [Gray, drums] — we outgrew each other. When they joined the band, Fallen was just completed and they were excited to be a part of something really big. From the beginning, their musical styles were very different from Evanescence. I think to a degree they got bored or frustrated. They weren’t part of the creative process and were like, ‘Why are we doing this?’ Their writing just didn’t work for Evanescence, and I have to do what’s best for the band. I’ve had a little bit of contact with John since and it was positive. Very few bands have been able to maintain their original members forever.”
