Will Hunt shared another video of him playing the drums in Weight of the World. This video was recorded at Evanescence's concert in London in 2012.

Previous videos he shared were him playing "Going Under" and "What You Want".

Amy Lee's Sudden Appearance at A Halestorm Concert (2013)

When Evanescence was on hiatus in 2013, Amy Lee tweeted that she was going to a friend's concert in New York City, but didn't tell the fans who the friend was. Turned out that she went to Halestorm's concert and performed another duet with vocalist Lzzy Hale in the song "Break In".

The duet was also performed in their past shows, during the Carnival of Madness 2012.

As Evanescence was taking a break, she appeared with a colored hair.

Will Hunt - $10,000 Drum Kit (2011) and The Other Side Drums (2012)

This is a short video recorded by Will Hunt when he was recording with Evanescence in 2011. In this video he is showing you the drum kit - priced $10,000 according to him. The self-titled album was recorded in the Black Bird Studio in Nashville, and it was produced by the Grammy-winning Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Stone Sour, Rush, etc).

He also uploaded a video of him playing the drums for The Other Side:

While he uploaded the videos to the fans in Easter 2013, he was working with Device with Disturbed's frontman David Draiman as Evanescence was still on hiatus.

Here are other drum cam videos he uploaded earlier:

Will Hunt - Going Under Drums (2012)

This is another video of Will Hunt playing the drums for Going Under live in London, UK, in November 2012. Another video he previously shared was the one when he played the drums for What You Want in Birmingham, U.K, but from a different angle.

This video was shared via his Facebook page as a "bonus" after the fans liked a fan page of his new project with David Draiman (Disturbed), Device. He also confirmed that Device was just a project while Evanescence was still on hiatus, and that he didn't leave the band.

Will Hunt - What You Want Drum Cam (2012)

Will Hunt posted an update on his Facebook page about a video of him playing the drums for What You Want, just as he promised. This video was recorded during Evanescence's tour in Birmingham, UK in November 2012.

There's also a video showing him playing the drums for Bring Me To Life which was recorded in 2007.

Update February 2013:

Will shared another drum-cam video of Going Under.

Evanescence - "If You Don't Mind" Live in Brazil (2012)

This is the very first live performance (October 4, 2012) of the unreleased song "If You Don't Mind" by Evanescence.

Prior to the performance of the song, lead singer Amy Lee admitted that they'd been working to share the song for 7 years and that Porto Alegre, Brazil was the perfect place to play it for the very first time.

The Porto Alegre show was the first after the band took a break from the Carnival of Madness Tour 2012.

Previously, the preview of the studio version of song leaked on YouTube.

Amy Lee and the Yellow Balloon (2012)

Just for fun....

This is a video I made from the Rock Am Ring 2012 performance in Germany.

This video shows Amy Lee kicking one of those huge yellow balloons in the middle of "Going Under".

Amy Lee Performed "Break In" with Lzzy Hale (2012)

The full version:

Amy Lee and Lzzy Hale finally fulfilled their promise.

In an interview on Rockline Radio, Amy and Lzzy said that there might be a collaboration, or they might sing each other's song during the Carnival of Madness Tour 2012. This finally happened in El Paso, Texas, at Don Haskins Center on August 18, 2012.

Amy collaborated with Lzzy in Halestorm's song, "Break In". At first, it's just Lzzy and her piano, then when Amy "broke in", the crowd went crazy.

Previously, Lzzy took over Amy Lee's vocals for Seether's "Broken" in live performances.

After the performance in El Paso, they tweeted the following:

[Updated - Full Video] Amy Lee - "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (2012)

Here you can hear Evanescence's Amy Lee sing a country song. She sang "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" at the Johnny Cash tribute show on April 20, 2012 in Austin, Texas. A CD/DVD called "We Walked The Line: A Celebration of the Music of Johnny Cash" was released in August 2012.

After that she tweeted that she hung out with legends such as Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson and that it was an unforgettable night.

Previously, Amy Lee also appeared (cameo) in Johnny Cash's music video, "God's Gonna Cut You Down".

Evanescence Played "Disappear" for the First Time Ever (2012)

Just as what Amy Lee revealed in an interview on Rockline Radio, after so many shows, the band finally played the song "Disappear" for the first time ever on July 31, 2012 in Springfield, IL.

The live version of the song itself had an extended bridge which made it even more awesome :-)

Evanescence at Heineken Jammin' Festival (2012)

Some highlights from the Heineken Jammin' Festival in Italy on July 6, 2012. Other bands that also performed at the festival include The Cure, Lost Prophets, Seether, and The Prodigy.

Previously, they did an interview with ViviMilano, and Amy Lee did an interview with ComingSoon.

Lead singer Amy Lee received the news that her grandmother passed away, so that the band decided to cancel their next show at Sonisphere Festival in France, and went back to the United States before headlining the Carnival of Madness Tour starting July 31, 2012.

Will Hunt Drum Stick Trick Fail - Jakarta Concert (2012)

One of the most awesome drummers on earth, Will Hunt, dropped his drum stick while rocking out to "Going Under" when Evanescence played live in Jakarta, Indonesia, on February 25, 2012.

I was there, but didn't notice that.

Will stated in some interviews that "Going Under" is one of his favorite songs to play live.

I cut the original video uploaded by Jurnallica.com, so credit goes to them. By the way, he didn't skip a beat, that's awesome :-)

Evanescence Pyro Stage Effects - Dubai Concert (2012)

OK, so I've always been curious why their stage performance has always been so simple, and I asked them several times on twitter whether they had ever thought of using pyro. They didn't reply my tweet, but at this Dubai concert I now know the answer :-)

While fans often consider that there is a lack of interaction between band members on stage, guitarist Troy McLawhorn once revealed in an e-mail interview with Evanescence Croatia that some members thought that that is too old school. So that's why you can only see Troy, Tim, and Will interact sometimes.

You can also watch their press conference in Dubai.

Amy Lee Holding the Flag of the Czech Republic - then "Swimming Home" (2012)

This is a footage from a fan showing Amy Lee carrying the national flag of the Czech Republic and thanked the crowd at an Evanescence concert in Prague on June 17, 2012.

She then threw the flag at the crowd, and then continued to play "Swimming Home" with the other band members. After the show, Amy tweeted that the crowd rocked, and that they would not forget it.

Previously, Evanescence also held the Morrocan flag at their concert in Rabat at Mawazine Festival.

Amy & Troy @ Top 30 Count Down Australia (Fan Recorded on a TV) (2012)

A short interview of Amy Lee and Troy McLawhorn on an Australian TV broadcast in April 2012. After the interview, they performed the acoustic version of "Bring Me To Life". This video was recorded by a fan on TV, so the quality is not the best.

Evanescence Live at the Golden Gods Awards (2012)

Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil and Lzzy Hale of Halestorm presenting Evanescence at Revolver's Golden Gods Awards 2012.

Evanescence playing 3 songs off of their latest album "Evanescence" at the Revolver's Golden Gods Awards (known as the biggest metal party of the year). Evanescence performed "Made of Stone", "What You Want", and also a hit single from the album "The Open Door", "Call Me When You're Sober" (which is about Shaun Morgan, frontman of Seether who was also at the show).

Hint: Notice that Amy flipped Shaun off (at least that's the speculation of the fans) at the end of "Call Me When You're Sober".

Amy Lee won an award for best vocalist. The award was presented by Dee Snider from Twisted Sister and Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed.You can check out this video to see Amy accepting the award.
