[princeofpersia]

Another Turkish interview translated by google. Questions are terribly translated but fortunately Amy's answers are much better and understandable:

" Rock is not dead, it will not die "

Evanescence, which started to shake the charts in the 2000s, met with music lovers at Volkswagen Arena last Friday evening under the sponsorship of Istanbul Blue Night. The lead singer Amy Lee told İhsan Dindar and Duygu Bay about Istanbul memories, new projects and more.
İhsan Dindar, Duygu Bay - Milliyet

In the early 2000s, Evanescence shook the charts with Bring Me To Life and remained on the agenda for a long time. winning a large group of fans from all over the world after they caught their first album out, this period also came to Turkey twice. After a long break, the American band was back in Istanbul with the melodies that we could call a little dark and sad. Within the scope of the concert, which was sponsored by Istanbul Blue Night, Volkswagen Arena answered the questions of Amy Lee, İhsan Dindar and Duygu Bay.



Evenescence is on a new journey. Album ü After touring m d d nemind here. How's it going?

It's a pleasure to be a part of this community. We're a real family and it's hard for us. We are playing in different parts of the world within the framework of Synthesis album which we released in 2017 with a live orchestra. This is a very unusual experience for us. We are ready to go out on stage and rock. In this process, we rediscover who we are.



When i three of the naturally m u remembrance in many three arrows things are changing. Reva three m te with u remembrance t u r s u advertising is changing. In recent months we Getigne "rock d ld u " said the articles were published. Do you have an answer to that?

This is definitely not true. Those who say this should come and see the concerts. Thousands of people flock to concerts just to see the rock musicians they admire. So I can say very clearly that rock music is not and will not die. But of course I am also open to interaction from different genres of music. I was inspired by many names from the 90s. Hip-hop or electronic content also became part of our music. They're all part of this combination. I am constantly searching for new sources of inspiration. Frankly, we are rock musicians, but I'm listening to Billie Eilish, for example. He's really extraordinary.

I've looked at your social media accounts. You have a happy family life. But the song s d If you look at your z s a pessimistic delta z question. This u z u nt u n u What is the source?

Human is complex. Nobody has a fixed, single mood. I've learned a lot in my life. We are constantly thinking about grief, the meaning of life, the other life, where we stand in this world. It's not the only thing that makes you darker or happier. This enables us to face many challenges. I think our lyrics are full of hope. I have hope.


Your good three- What is the meaning of this life?

I don't think I'm in a position to answer that. I Halâarıy. This is a difficult question to answer.

I want to talk about Synthesis. Alb u m u n u z about three two that some of the reviews of it, today u how much of the hard work that you have s d yl ü Yori. This g d r u Do you agree with the evil?

I do not think so. I think it's hard to say something more harsh than others. First of all, Synthesis is an album of many songs. There are things about the past, the present and the future. That's why I love this album. It's also a challenge for everything.

Rock m u remembrance, male dominated d u nya. You are this many years d u NY when i three have a place in the feminine areas. Bug u how to come to n t u r challenges three to two against it?

I've noticed something has changed in the past. Everything was a lot harder when I left at the beginning. Especially in the rock world. I saw that I was the only woman in our festivals. But this is no longer valid. There are many more women on stage now. This is not the case only for groups. There is something similar in the music industry. Tour managers, producers, festival employees and similar employees can be women. I'm proud of that. Such a world is much more beautiful.

The i d Been in war?

Exactly! We had to fight many times to get here. And I'm glad I made this struggle. Fortunately, things have changed. Now it is a source of pride to see more talented women in the rock world.

So at this point what woman m u zisy those we ask you liked?

Within Temptation. I've watched them before and even took part in the same tour. Sharon von Adel is a very nice and humble person.

This Istanbul three nc ü your arrival. What do you remember about this city?

We have a tradition in Istanbul. Before our first visit, we received many invitations. We came upon it. Frankly, we couldn't foresee exactly what awaited us. Istanbul did not have much information about vetürki. Afterwards, good food and friendly people, tea and the coast of Bosphorus, especially in the evening, impressed us. We had already decided to come again. We really like it here.

Did you have the opportunity to visit the city on your arrival?

Yeah, we went out the night before the concert and walked around town.

Last question; Do you have any new projects?

We started working on it. But I don't think it's the right time to describe what this is. Good things will come out and we will complete those jigsaw pieces. I'm excited for that.
