Message from John LeCompt.... - EvBoard

Just to let you know, I pulled down the very personal blog about my departure from Evanescence. I felt that I said what I had to say and the response was very much the same among everyone who read it. I feel beyond those very strong feelings now and am ready to move past them. Now I am all about Machina and persuing that without bitterness or hurt in my heart. EV was what it was, a stepping stone. A very large stepping stone that I truly appreciate and will always hold close to my heart. I will never play down the importance of it in my life or the lives of my friends and family. It is a piece of history that I got to be involved in and will remember forever. I choose to remember the good things about it rather than a negative perspective of a disgruntled former member. So, all that is said...let's move on and rock out with our cock out to MACHINA!!! Ready, Set....GO!!!

As I told you on MySpace, Evanescence was great thanks to your effort on the project. Without Rocky and you, the band couldn't survive longer. That's a fact.

We know of your talent and thanks to Evanescence, a huge experience, so I'm sure we'll meet again... here or there!

I'm personally disappointed, extremely upset... but that's Life!

All my best wishes of success to you and love to Shelly and the kids. ~Jerry

This is sad for us and I can imagine for you guys and your families.

Hope things turn out ok, wathever way they go.

We love and support you and Rocky

John, you were so great with meet and greets and you were involved with the fans. You and Rocky have been with EVanescence from th beeginning and I am so shocked, dismayed, and greatly saddened by what happened to you.

I don't think I shall be going to any more "Evanescence" shows anymore to see Amy Lee and some strangers around her. You guys helped make Evanescence what it was, and now it is a totally different "band".

I shall definitely have to come and see Machina and keep us posted about tour dates.

Hi John - I am so sorry for this mess and I feel for you and your loving family. Just remember that everything happens for a reason and if God closes one door he always opens another bigger and better door.

Stay in touch - YOU are a class gentleman and you ARE what Evanescence should be.

I agree with the other posters - can not WAIT to see you on tour with Machina.

your son is going to have a problem when he's older with all the ladiessss.

John, Evanescence was a great band thanks to your contributions and Rocky's. I support you 100%, and if I ever get the chance to see Machina live then I will definitely do that.

Katya · 05-05-2007, 01:36 PM

I don't have much more to add than what others have said. John, you are an amazing musician and you were always a pleasure to talk to after shows and such. You and Rocky made Evanescence awesome, and like I said before, it just won't be the same without you.

Best of luck to you and Rocky with Machina. Hope to see you on tour with them soon.

Agreed. Also, I'm not surprised it went down like this. The only thing I'm surprised about is that it took this long for it to happen.

You were always my favorite anyway, John.

Machina kicks ass!
