Evanescence - What Items Should The Band Put in the Grammy Museum's History of Heavy Metal? (2012)

Amy: "Thank you, Fashion God..."

Hard Rock Chick Dot Com interviewed some rockers at the Golden Gods 2012's Black Carpet, including Evanescence.

The band was asked about their items that should be put in the Grammy Museum's History of Heavy Metal exhibit (which was debuted in April 2011, at the same time with the award).

Tim suggested that it should be Amy's underwear, but she disagreed. Will Hunt then said it should be her dress she wore at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2011, and she thought it was the best answer that she said "thank you, Fashion God..." to him.

Other musicians interviewed were Machine Head, Lemmy from Motorhead, Hatebreed, Black Label Society, Hellyeah, and Halestorm.

Evanescence won one award at that time.

Ben Moody, David Hodges And John LeCompt - Grammy Awards (2008)

This is a video uploaded by ArtisanNews in 2008. It shows ex-members of Evanescence who appeared at the Grammys and "wanted their Grammy glory" (according to ArtisanNews).

Ex-members of Evanescence, Ben Moody and David Hodges were involved in the album "Fallen" so they were there when the band won two awards for "Best Hard Rock Performance" and "Best New Artist" at the Grammys in 2004.

David left the band in 2002 because he was more comfortable if Evanescence went into the Christian rock scene, and Ben left in 2003 because of "creative differences".

While John LeCompt was fired from the band in 2007 (drummer Rocky Gray also quit at the same time), and although the reasons are not to be confirmed yet, many fans believe that he was in the band "just for the money". Previously, bassist Will Boyd left the band in 2006 because he didn't want to do another big tour.

John appeared at the Grammys in 2007 when Evanescence was nominated for "Best Hard Rock Performance" (they lost out to Foo Fighters, though) for their song "Sweet Sacrifice", although John was not credited for the song.
