Firstly they are well reputed for going through several musicians - <strong>Amy Lee i</strong>s the only original member of the<strong> band</strong>. Secondly they are seen as a Christian band - something which Amy Lee never wanted to be seen as.

Sure, she'd been spotted out a few times with socialite and paparazzi magnet<strong> Paris</strong> <strong>Hilton</strong>, but that's about it.<br />Enter the sex tape with then-boyfriend, rapper Ray J, and this <strong>Kardashian</strong> was propelled into stardom. The tape, supposedly leaked, was picked up by Vivid <strong>Entertainment.

The band explains that the fans were the ones who ultimately chose their makeup designs. The "Demon" makeup reflected Simmons' cynicism and dark elements, as well as his love for comic books. Paul Stanley became the "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Starchild</span>" due to his tendency to be referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" and "hopeless romantic." Ace <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Frehley's</span> "Spaceman" makeup was a reflection of him wanting to go for a ride in a space ship and supposedly being from another planet. Peter <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Criss</span>' "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Catman</span>" makeup was in accordance with the belief that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Criss</span> had nine lives due to his rough childhood in Brooklyn.

The band's commercial fortunes had also waned considerably by that point.<br />In 1983, Kiss abandoned its makeup and enjoyed a commercial resurgence throughout the rest of the decade. Buoyed by a wave of Kiss <a title="Nostalgia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia"><strong>nostalgia</strong></a> in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original lineup (with makeup) in 1996. The resulting Kiss Alive/Worldwide/Lost Cities/Reunion Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996 and 1997. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Criss</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Frehley</span> have since left Kiss again and have been replaced by <a title="Eric Singer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Singer"><strong>Eric Singer</strong></a> and <a title="Tommy Thayer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Thayer"><strong>Tommy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Thayer</span></strong></a>, respectively.

Metallica’s line-up originally consisted of Ulrich, rhythm guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield, and lead guitarist Dave Mustaine. Mustaine was later fired due to problems with alcoholism and drug addiction - he went on to form the band Megadeth. Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett took his place. Metallica has been through several bassists, including Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus crash while the band was on tour), and Jason Newsted. The current bassist is Robert Trujillo, who joined in 2003.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Metallica’s</span> early releases included fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship that placed them as one of the “big four” of the thrash metal sub-genre alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax. The band earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and critical acclaim, with the 1986 release Master of Puppets described as one of the most influential and <span style="font-weight:bold;">“heavy” metal albums</span>. The band achieved substantial commercial success with <span style="font-weight:bold;">Metallica </span>(1991), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With this release the band expanded its musical direction resulting in an album that appealed to a more mainstream audience.<br /><br />In 2000, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Metallica w</span>as among several artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band’s copyright-protected material for free without the band members’ consent. A settlement was reached, and Napster became a pay-to-use service. Despite reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the release of St. Anger alienated many fans with the exclusion of guitar solos and the “steel-sounding” snare drum. A film titled Some Kind of Monster documented the recording process of St. Anger. <br />Read more… Edit <br />Play Metallica Radioellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10671776010719435317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097753842063034721.post-3644694937090021592009-09-27T23:54:00.000-07:002009-10-24T08:50:46.237-07:00P.O.D<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-dCscmY9YAKFGx2xiEoEvCfGV5j9-jmMKMLfzFn1EOBuDoyaoo5PQ1j0Fmq6eN2yCVrP5eGCBAXbV6SEnJuWSZMo5BrqafO-zpBg6gW4zUD5zfWCfvXyjaSvMBBtlREbX8YU-NvLmOU8/s1600-h/600px-POD-_-snuff-the-punk.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-dCscmY9YAKFGx2xiEoEvCfGV5j9-jmMKMLfzFn1EOBuDoyaoo5PQ1j0Fmq6eN2yCVrP5eGCBAXbV6SEnJuWSZMo5BrqafO-zpBg6gW4zUD5zfWCfvXyjaSvMBBtlREbX8YU-NvLmOU8/s320/600px-POD-_-snuff-the-punk.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386410048831719154" /></a><br />With a under their 15-year career belts, <strong>P.O.D</strong>. has logged a remarkable array of achievements, including worldwide sales exceeding 8 million, sold-out international concert tours, a series of chart topping <strong>radio</strong> hits, and an unprecedented FOUR #1 <strong>MTV videos</strong>.<br /><br />Supported by their passionate fan base - known as <strong>"THE WARRIORS</strong>" - the band has created what they describe as "a catalog of <strong>music</strong> that we want to respect and honor with each step into the future."<br /><br /><strong>"P.O.D.</strong> is an exciting and an important band with an expansive musical vision and a powerful message for our times."<br />- Columbia Records Chairman (and former AC/DC manager), Steve Barnett.

The Open Door debuted at the top of the Billboard charts selling more than 447,000 units in its first week and reached platinum status in just over a month. <strong>The album is defined by Amy Lee’s beautiful melodies</strong>, compelling lyrics, poignant piano and stunning vocals, fused with Terry Balsamo’s urgent yet intricate guitar to form a seamless, ethereal mixture that perfectly channels <strong>the band’s hard rock and classical sensibilities. </strong>“Making this record was really intense,” explains Lee. “Terry suffered a stroke in October after recording his <strong>guitar </strong>parts and thankfully continues to recover, we got a new manager [Andy Lurie at 110 Management in Los Angeles], and I’d come out of a difficult breakup. But everything we’ve been through together has benefited this album.” With Fallen, says Lee, the band had much to prove while defining its identity. This time, finding a cohesive writing partner in Terry Balsamo, “we really took our time crafting this album and had the freedom to express a broader range of emotions: not just pain and sadness, but also anger and, yes, even happiness.”<br />Written late in 2005, The <strong>Open Door was recorded </strong>at The <strong>Record Plant in Los Angeles</strong> and mixed at Ocean Way Studios in March 2006. Marking the return of producer Dave Fortman, the album’s musical elements include a classically-infused choir and strings on several tracks, giving further color to songs of introspection, longing, doubt, self-respect and, ultimately, empowerment. The album opens with “Sweet Sacrifice,” a post-relationship catharsis that head-dives from an otherworldly intro into a hard-driving thrash of hard rock guitars and soaring rock vocals. Its first single, the mid-tempo “Call Me When You’re Sober,” reinforces the moving-away-from-dysfunction theme<strong>.</strong>Other standout tracks on The Open Door include the second single, “Lithium,” which embraces feeling over numbness, “All That I’m Living For,” Lee’s tribute to band life, “Weight of the World,” her plea for perspective from the expectation of young fans, and “Good Enough,” a string-and-choir-infused closer distinguished as the band’s first truly (almost) contented song (“It feels really good ending the album this way,” says Lee).<br /><strong>Evanescence is Amy Lee (vocals, piano), Terry Balsamo (guitar), Tim McCord (bass), Troy McLawhorn (guitar) and Will Hunt (drums). Fallen, their major-label debut, was released in April 2003</strong> <strong>to critical and commercial success and has sold more than fifteen million copies.</strong> Their second major label debut, The Open Door, debuted at Number One on the Billboard charts and reached platinum status in just over a month.<br />Originally hailing from Little <strong>Rock,</strong> Arkansas, the band’s evolving sound – a nearly mystical marriage between rock, goth and classical – was informed by a curious duality. Lee, who spent nine years studying classical piano, explains, “When I was in high school I listened to a lot of death metal bands. Both genres are intricate, complex types of music that are very dramatic, and I’m naturally drawn to that.”<br /><strong>Evanescence</strong> self-released two EPs and a first full-length album, the much-sought-after Origin, before finding a home at Wind-up <strong>Records</strong>. Fallen, their major-label debut, was released in April 2003 to critical and commercial success. The internationally appealing Top 10 singles “<strong>Bring Me to Life</strong>” and “My Immortal” helped drive airplay and led to two 2003 Grammy Awards (Best New Artist and Best <strong>Hard Rock </strong>Performance for “<strong>Bring Me To Life</strong>”). Propelling the band to sales of nearly 14 million albums worldwide, Fallen spent more than 100 weeks on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, was certified gold or platinum in over 35 countries, and sold out arenas globally. Anywhere But Home, their 2004 live DVD release, has sold over one million copies to date.<br />For more information on Evanescence, please visit www.evanescence.com or www.winduprecords.com or contact denglefield@bwr-la.com or kestlund@bwr-la.com.ellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10671776010719435317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097753842063034721.post-24662884029261120712009-05-15T17:40:00.000-07:002009-05-15T17:42:02.534-07:00u=ell<a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/ell"> <img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=ell" border="0" /></a><br/> <a style="margin-top:2px; display:block; font-size:11px; padding-left:10px; color:#244366;" href="http://www.zimbio.com"> Top Stories </a>ellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10671776010719435317noreply@blogger.com
