EVANESCENCE Singer Looking Forward To Taking 'Open Door' To The Stage
September 5, 2006AOL Music reports that EVANESCENCE hit the road October 5 in Toronto for a brief seventeen-date tour in support of the forthcoming "The Open Door" album. Frontwoman Amy Lee tells AOL Music the new material is road ready. "When we were in the studio we were constantly writing songs and we were going, 'Oh, that's going to be so great live,'" she says.
The band was able to write with the idea of what the songs would sound like in front of an arena full of frenzied fans this time because of their experiences supporting "Fallen". "We didn't play a lot of shows before 'Fallen' came out or anything. But now that we know what live is like before thousands of people you sort of write that way," she says. "You write a few songs that are sort of for the arena."
With that in mind, are there any songs from the album she's most looking forward to doing live? "The whole album," she says excitedly. "We're going to have so much to choose from between the two albums that it's going to be hard to keep it within a reasonable time limit."
EVANESCENCE's new album, "The Open Door", arrives on October 3. The disc follows the band's 2003 major label debut, "Fallen", which has sold more than six million copies in the U.S.
The group recently recruited THE REVOLUTION SMILE bassist Tim McCord to replace Will Boyd, who left earlier this summer because he no longer wished to tour for lengthy amounts of time.
