Me and my OH cannot wait for the UK tour, booking tickets for London early on Friday morning - also, The Pretty Reckless are one of the bands supporting Evanescence so that makes it all the more sweeter for me (not so much for my OH though! ).

Roll on November!!!!

Oh I know, but if the 'core' fanbase were all of a similar age - everyone will be in their 20s now and some may have 'moved on' since Fallen/TOD, I know the fanbase still had a big shift after the 2nd album! I'm just wondering whether those 'die hard' fans who are waiting to see what the material is like OR if they'll just buy tickets anyway

I definitely think Ev are still very relevant, don't think I'm thinking they've lost touch or anything
I'm in my late 20s now and still very much a hard core fan haha. I'm not your typical fan, but they are my favourite band ever.

They're very relevant, and I have a feeling their return will bring rock music back to the masses!

I am 34 & much prefer groups like Evanescence, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Epica, to any of the chart crap like Lady Gaga & Ndubz.

I would love for Amy Lee & Epica's Simone Simons to do a duet............A singing one of course.

Definitely glad to see they still have fans from all ranges. I can't believe I was in my early teens when they burst on the scene and I'm in my twenties now!

I definitely agree about them bringing rock back, I know 30 Seconds to Mars had a brief period with This is War, but I hope to see an increase of Rock in the charts after Ev release their new material. It's been a while since the charts were as varied as they were back in 03/04 - I don't even think the UK chart was this 'monotone/samey samey' when TOD was released!

I'm really wanting Amy and Michael from Red to do a duet at some point, if one of them could feature on a song with the other's band, I think that'd be amazing.

Less than two weeks till What You Want! I can't believe it's come around this quickly! SO EXCITED

There's definitely a gap in the market right now for rock music to make a welcome return. The charts are dominated by people trying to be each other! Let's have some variance

Cannot wait until What You Want is released! Shame Amazon have taken down the clip

I saw you can pre-order their album now on Amazon and Play. £8.99

I noticed that too! I'm waiting for a while to pre-order mine though, I'm hoping there's going to be some sort of 'deluxe' edition - even if it's just in different packaging with art cards or something. I reallllly hope we get more than 13 tracks this time round, especially if we have to wait another 4-5 years for a new album haha

I'm so worried that I wont be able to get tickets tomorrow. I know they haven't released anything in a while but the fans are still there.

Plus, these concert dates have been posted almost EVERYWHERE, and they are advertised in this weeks issue of Kerrang! Magazine apparently. I think a complete sell out by the end of tomorrow morning. I just wish I didnt have work

Excellent, can't wait. It seems like such a long time ago since I first heard about the band before Fallen came out. I kind of miss doing the old evanescence.co.uk fansite and having a crazy fan forum!

I'm 32 years old and certainly still have room for them in my life.

Took me 20 minutes to book a ticket through livenation today - kept telling me that someone was looking at the same tickets I was and decided not to buy them thus they were unavailable, was really worried they'd already sold out. But finally after 20 minutes, got my standing ticket for London. Can't wait!!!

Amy confirmed in an interview with a Bulgarian website/magazine that another song on the album is called "The Change"...

She also said that there will be 12 songs on the album, and 4 which will be used as B-Sides/bonus tracks for the Special Edition... so I'm guessing there may be more than one version of the album

I still want to hear If You Don't Mind! I'm quite annoyed that hasn't surfaced yet...

I'm quite surprised it still hasn't surfaced to be honest. I would have thought it would have done by now, considering it's been nearly 5 years since the release of The Open Door...

Yeah, I wonder if they didn't actually finish it... I remember Amy said she was saving Together Again for a rainy day as it wasn't finished, and she only finished it to release as a charity single...

OH also there's a behind the scenes clip on MTV for the video, it looks pretty interesting - also apparently Amy sang live during the shoot (which is what is shown on here) she sounds bloody awesome!

Maybe they'll perform the song at the gigs this year? #wishfulthinking

Clip looks pretty good! I've read a few comments about it over on Evthreads and there seems to be a lot of negative comments about it, don't know how they can form such an opinion after barely 30 seconds of footage, but there you go...I just can't wait to hear the full song! Not long now! Will we get it on Monday, even though it's not released until Tuesday in the US?

Ha maybe! They did start doing Understanding at the end of the last tour so who knows!

And I know, right? There's barely any footage of the actual clip either... I think it's going to be pretty awesome, it wouldn't surprised me if they had clips of them performing in this warehouse while flashing through band members going about their 'lives' in NYC at night.. I think it'll be a good video!
If I'm being honest, EvThreads seem to have been taken over lately by a LOT of young fans who've only recently discovered the band and a lot of them are foreign lol... so I'm not sure if they understand the concept haha.


And regarding the song, I'm not sure... I know they're doing On-Air On-Sale over in the US for it, but I don't even know when it's being added to UK radio... I've not heard anything about it being playlisted on Radio One or anything... unless they just send it to all stations next week?

Exactly, and they also performed Missing so anything is possible!

I have a feeling the video is going to be great, just what is needed to go with the song to show that they're back. I like your idea, that would be pretty amazing!
Haha yeah, it seems that way! 'OMG, like I've been a fan since they released their debut CMWYS'

They may well send it to all stations next week. Would be pretty amazing if we got it on Monday though. I've not seen it on any playlists either. I hope it is played A LOT next week though. I'm hoping they'll get a lot of promo this time round, TOD didn't seem to fair too well promotion wise...

I was part of the original fan club when it was on evboards before they hit big with fallen. Everyone is pretty much in their later 20s now.

Oh god, I'm so glad they're back. I met them back in 2006 after winning a Kerrang competition to go and hear the album early. It was amazing.

Can't wait for this new album, and I'll be going to see them November 7th

I miss EvBoard... I remember when that went sour... I just think there tends to be a lot of 'younger' people on EvThreads who haven't even heard of the EPs and think that they only formed back in 2002 lol..

I'm going to the Nov 7th show too EvanWhisper!
