Evanescence vs Cold row cools down
Published January 22, 2004
CMU reports:
Evanescence singer Amy Lee yesterday attempted to close that opening rift
with fans of fellow rock band Cold after those comments she made about the
band's frontman. As previously reported, when Cold's guitarist Terry Balsamo
jumped ship and joined Evanescence full time, Lee told an Australian reporter that this probably meant the end of Cold, implying the band's frontman Skooter Ward had too many drug problems to hold the band together on his own.
Earlier this week Ward hit back writing on his band's website: "I don't know why Amy threw my life out there like she did. I never did anything but treat her with respect but this is the life I choose and I understand not everything can be a secret. I just wish she would have let me tell my story when I was ready. As for Cold, we are releasing 'Wasted Years' soon. We are looking for a new guitarist and we will be starting our new record when we get off the road."
Following that statement Lee yesterday backtracked by writing on Cold's fan
message board: "Dear Cold fans, I'm sure the last thing you want to hear right now is more of me running my mouth, so I'm going to make this short and simple. It was not my place to make statements about the status of Cold - Cold is not my band. I apologize. I've never claimed to be perfect and I'm not too proud to admit when I'm wrong."
