WE ARE THE FALLEN SHOULD JUST CALL THEMSELVES “FUCK YOU AMY LEE”

A while back I caught word of a new band called The Fallen We Are The Fallen, essentially Evanescence without Amy Lee. Replacing Ms. Lee is American Idol alum Carly Smithson. Elise is the American Idol afficionado around these parts, but I watch from time to time out of boredom and truth be told she’s one of the only ones I actually remember liking and rooting for. 

HOWEVER, as you can see from their new music video for “Bring Me To Life” ”Bury Me Alive”, it’s almost EXACTLY like Evanescence was (minus the piano and with that one new guy, whoever he is). The other three dudes were all part of the original Ev line-up, and JESUS H look at what Carly is wearing!!! Ch’ello?

So what does the band themselves have to say about the obvious rip-off?

Not much. As they don’t see any similarities at all between the two bands. 

“It’s a completely different band” Uh, really? Then why are you copying nearly everything that worked before and COVERING EVANESCENCE SONGS?!

Seriously? I’m really not coming to either side’s defense here, just trying to state what was more than obvious. Evanescence supposedly is working on some new shit and We Are The Fallen are trying to get their shit together and “make it big” I guess, but really… It just looks like three dudes sticking their tongues out and saying “We don’t need YOU, Amy Lee. We’ve got a new frontwoman. And she’s Irish and has tattoos!”

*Sigh* Back to the drawing board…
