Posted September 18, 200618 yr Seether frontman Shaun Morgan is not particularly happy about the new song by Evanescence, "Call Me When You're Sober." That band's singer, Amy Lee, has said in interviews that the track was inspired by the end last year of her relationship with Morgan, who entered a 28-day rehab program for drug and alcohol abuse in July. Morgan exclusively told us that he wasn't pleased to hear about the song: "It saddens me that our whole relationship was reduced to that. That, you know, almost three years we spent together comes down to 'Oh, woe is me, you don't care about me.' I'm disappointed that that's all that really mattered. I'm kind of irritated that our dirty laundry had to be aired, you know, all over the world. I wouldn't do that to somebody." Seether will play some scattered live dates this fall but Morgan told us that the band is concentrating on writing its third album, which he hopes to begin recording by November. Their latest release, an live acoustic CD/DVD package called One Cold Night, came out this summer. The singer and guitarist is also engaged and will become a father for the second time in November. He has a young daughter from a previous marriage. The new Evanescence disc, titled The Open Door, arrives on October 3rd. http://evanescence.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1031 So is this the Seether guy from that song 'Broken'? I didn't know they had a relationship :kink:
September 18, 200618 yr Author WOAH! Hold all! I just found out he used to beat her up when 'drunk' and broke her legs!!!! :wacko: Sick c**t.
September 18, 200618 yr Author I totally get the song now <_< How sick and vile. She has been through so much :( Apparently she still can't walk properly now :wacko:
September 18, 200618 yr Author Broken isn't on any album - though I've seen a video. I think it was released in Europe maybe like the Ben Moody/Anastacia song? I'll make a new thread for it :D
September 18, 200618 yr I never heard anything about him breaking Amy's legs or beating her up, I did know he had drug/alcohol problems though which caused the split. Broken is on Seether's album Disclaimer II by the way. :) Edited September 18, 200618 yr by NatalieMT
September 18, 200618 yr Author Well I read all that on the official Evanescence forum :o Seems a way bit extreme tbh :unsure: I havent heard any other Seether stuff - are they any good?
September 18, 200618 yr Well she has been abused but that was by Ben and their ex-manager. Not at the same time though mind! The other Seether stuff is a bit c**p to be honest, I got the album for about £5 in a sale somewhere just for Broken.
September 21, 200618 yr Frankly I reckon it's a pretty sh!tty thing for HER to do, every relationship has problems, but it should be dealt with in a private way between the parties concerned not exposed to public scrutiny. The guy's made mistakes, probably done sh!t that he shouldn't have, but he's clearly dealt with his problems with drugs and alcohol and has actually moved on with his life and become a better person, a new relationship and a bairn on the way to boot, so he has a very good incentive to stay clean... And now here comes Amy Lee stirring up all the bad sh!t which should've stayed private merely to score a top 10 hit..... I aint a big Seether fan by the way.... :lol: :lol: I just know that there are always two sides to every story....
September 21, 200618 yr I agree with Grimly Fiendish, there are alwasy two sides to every story, he no doubt about it should NOT have done those things and she shouldnt have stirred it all up again and told the world. But..... poor Amy :( :wub:
September 22, 200618 yr Poor Amy if he did those things to her (like beating her and breaking her legs).
September 22, 200618 yr Sorry, but Amy can, and SHOULD in my mind, write about whatever she likes. If she's been through something, IMO, it would be ridiculous for her NOT to write about it .. artists always say that songwriting is like therapy, so Amy's totally within her rights to speak about it in her songs Lets face it, if he doesn't wanna be talked about for being a drunk, maybe he shouldn't be one. And, he doesn't have to talk about the song ... I had no idea it was about him before I read whart he said, but I do now ... because he's kicked up a fuss. Vicious circle, Shaun!!
September 22, 200618 yr Poor Amy if he did those things to her (like beating her and breaking her legs). I'm certainly not convinced that that's in any way true at all. The guy would surely have been on an Aggravated Assault charge (or whatever the US equivalent is..) and sent down for a VERY long time had he done what is being claimed....

Yeah, but just to do it for getting a song in the charts....? Tacky IMO. At least leave it as an album track, it aint as if it's even that great a song in the first place, one of the weakest on the album IMO.... Why make a big song and dance about it...? And, like I say, we're only getting one side of the story here... The guy's trying to get over his problems with drugs and alcohol, and all of a sudden his ex decides to have a pop at him in the most public way possible.... How happy would YOU be about it...?
September 22, 200618 yr It's not like it's anything new though ... plenty of people write songs about their current relationships or ex's and I don't see it as cashing in on a relationship ... it's just a natural thing to write about IMO. Edited September 22, 200618 yr by Andrewy

There's a way of doing it though. To try to not make it too obvious, use metaphor and allegory, to use language in a certain way that makes it more ambiguous, there's no fun in being too literal IMO. "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana is a good example, there's ambiguity there as to what (or rather who..) the subject is.....
