Ben Moody left the tour
If you received the latest newsletter email, you know that Ben Moody has stopped touring for a while and went home.

Does anyone know why?

beats me, i'd hope that it's not a major reason. mtv.com seems to be making a big deal of it though, but they hype everything.

I wanted to break the news to everyone. The Billboard article seems to imply he just went AWOL. And no one really knows what is going on.

Following that logic, my roommate should have run off back to Arizona, but he's still here.

Maybe he's just in a funk. I get in a funk sometimes.

Here's VH1's article about it: http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/148...nescence.jhtml

And here's one about how you could supposedly see signs of trouble in their new video:

i'd like to disagree, the development of their sound, aside from Amy Lee's vocals, was entirely dependent on him. whatever sound the replacement guitarists will be either an attempt to replicate Ben Moody's sound or something that won't sound like the Evanescence we know.

Of course the counter arguement to that is that anybody could replicate Ben Moody's sound because it's kinda generic... and that Amy Lee is what makes Evanescence what it is. But still, I'm sticking up for Ben.

Besides, we don't know if he's really gone.

Gus, other than Amy's vocals, they sound like everyone else...

Rule number one for an intelligent argument: Don't post a counter argument, too.

But, I'd have to agree with you. However generic the band may be, I think Ben did more for the band, musically.
