As most of us probably know, Amy performed a new piano version of Even in Death at the Florida shows. I was wondering: does anyone else think there's a possibility Amy has re-recorded Even in Death, or any other pre-Fallen material? During the Facebook Q&A this past March, Amy hinted she was doing some work with some older material. It's like, what made her want to play Even in Death in the first place? Was it purely related to Prince's death? Maybe she had this version of EiD stored away (maybe recently recorded), and Prince's death was a good time to introduce that version? Keep in mind, Amy played Going to California live first and then released an official recording after.
I'm curious as to what the legal implications of releasing older material would be. That material isn't owned by any record label, but surely she would have to give some credit to Ben Moody and David Hodges or maybe even get some sort of permission before releasing anything? Awkward! I would imagine she could bypass that hairy mess by releasing any old material as a "cover."
If we get a new version of EiD, I'd be happy for the rest of 2016. I Absolutely LOVE the piano version of Even in Death.
Thoughts anyone? Lol this is all pure speculation on my part.

As cool as that would be, I doubt it. Amy particularly doesn't like the older Ev material, if I remember correctly.

As far as I know, Ben relinquished the Evanescence name, songs, and Logo to Amy. And all the songs they'd recorded from the minute he left the band. That includes all previous recorded songs; if her new contract relieves her from all that, than bam!

She wouldn't have played EiD if she didn't like the song, and she also wouldn't have played Understanding during the Open Door era if she didn't like it. I'm sure some of her older stuff make her cringe, but I think it's silly to think she dislikes them all.

When I met her for the spring tour I told her how much I loved that she played Even in Death and she seamed really excited about it. I honestly think we will see some more of the older material which is very cool. Also, yes, she did mention it prior in her twitter Q/A...and I asked David if he has ever considered working with Amy again and he said "Funny you should mention that...." I believe we will be getting some cool stuff soon.

From what I've read, he left on his own accord to pursue his own career. He's a really talented musician, so I really hope he and Amy have something brewing. I'd love a remake of Before the Dawn as well.

Yeah Amy and David seem to have gotten along. And I'm pretty sure David was one of Josh's groomsmen when Amy married Josh.

Wow, didn't know that! That makes me so happy. Gives me hope that they will one day work together again -- if they haven't already, that is. How the heck does Josh know David??? Lol

xdershiz & Open The Door: Amy also sang the middle 8/bridge of the Origin version (I think) of Imaginary in 2012. Open The Door: Here is the thread of Amy's Facebook Q&A. It was in the Evanescence section so this could be why you didn't read it all. I'm not sure if all of the questions and the answers in their entirety were posted in that thread. I'll review the screen captures (I scoured that post on her Facebook to make sure I didn't miss anything) I took and see if all of the questions and answers in their entirety were posted. Though, princeofpersia does a really through job! xdershiz: There wasn't any turmoil between Amy and David. He did leave of his own accord. Josh and David have known each other for a while. I think David was the one who introduced Amy and Josh. Remember the interview about BMTL where she said she was meeting some friends for lunch/dinner at some restaurant and some guy she didn't know but was a friends friend asked if she was happy? Well, I think David was that friend that invited Josh (the guy asking if Amy was happy). Josh was also there during the "Making of Fallen" videos that Ben recorded when they were in Pre-production. And yes, David was a groomsmen or Best Man of Josh during the Hartzler's wedding. Also, funny you should mention Before the Dawn because David said this is the one song that he hoped made it to the final cut of Fallen. XD

Although I think the song is a masterpiece, it just doesn't mash well with the overall sound of Fallen.
