Do you get strange looks from people as you blare an Evanescence song while driving?

[ivelostcontrol85]

I absolutely love to blast Evanescence songs while I'm driving. I get such a rush when I'm at a complete stop and have Haunted or The Only One blasting so loud, I know the people next to me can hear it. I'm a little weird, but I like to play Lacrymosa when I'm out at night... I think it freaks people out lol.

[Katya]

I have no idea. I tend to watch the road when I'm driving, not the people in the car next to me (unless they're doing something really stupid...which is like, half the drivers in CT...). ;)

[Miz_Mouse]

ive noticed (out of the corner of my eye) a couple of ppl next to me at traffic lights kinda glance over when i had evanescence cranked... but I didn't take much notice, was waiting for the green light :D

[AaronAARON]

I think its cute. :)

[ichabod1799]

Me and my friend encourage drivers listen to evanescence to crank it up. A car will drive past listening to it, and we're just shouting "turn it up" they never do though :(

[sarah617]

wow i get weird looks soooo often-especially when i break out the drum sticks and rock out on the steering wheel. :D

[ev_malice]

well i'm only 13 but when my parents are driving i blast it. the looks people give us are priceless. we always end up cracking up from their expressions.

[eirs_within_amy]

its funny this thread is up right now b/c i got my first weird stare ever for listening to ev my car today! I was waiting at a light to turn left, and the guy next to me started staring at me all like O.o"what the hell is that music!" lol....my car was rattling from my speakers...i was blaring lacrymosa :D

[Minki]

wow i get weird looks soooo often-especially when i break out the drum sticks and rock out on the steering wheel. :D

:lol: I totally wanna do that when I get my driver's licence!!! Hell, I do that @ home. Why not in the car, too? :D

[scriptique]

Well, CMWYS suddenly got played in the radio and I just started rocking out inside the car. My sister's boyfriend, who was driving, pointed out the car next to ours. What I saw was a lady looking at me rather strangely, then she suddenly averted her eyes. I was like: "Cmon, look back at me so I can give you the rock sign!" but sadly, she didn't... hehe

Can't drive yet... but I will soon. Already got my learner's license, so once I get my P License I'd be blaring all the Evanescence CDs that I can find in the dashboard =D

[whiterabbiteen]

its funny this thread is up right now b/c i got my first weird stare ever for listening to ev my car today!

:D haha.. nice one babe... but for me ! lol

[EVILPHEASANTS]

Usually I don't think they are giving me a weird look because of the fact that evanescence is blaring, but that I'm headbanging or dancing in the car, lol, and THAT is what is making them give me concerned and/or frightened looks.

[Lozzastitch]

yeah i get some fair funny looks....i blast going under and your star when i'm driving.....and the people next to me just look at me as if they've never seen a person listening to music. it's so funny my nice and i just keep singing and we sing out the windows to freak people out....

[Carmen]

I blared out some ev music in my car for the first time the other day. (Lacrymosa) The sun was out and it was a nice day, so I thought why not! I think everyone was more amused at my facial expressions when singing rather than the actual music :p

[Mark]

Im learning to drive at the moment, But not allowed any music. My car has a radio, need to get a CD player or something to connect to my Creative Zen once I've passed my test.

Then, i'll put Evanescence on.

[Princess_Diane]

I'm too busy singing along and rocking out to the music to notice what other peoples facial expressions are. :p

[Metalman]

The ****ers stair anyway, no matter whats playing. something about a 400 watt sub woofer and a half-deaf sheet metal worker on the volume knob tends to make them look!!;)

[Star121]

I am going to make a cd of ev so I can try it!

[WildInTheWind]

I get strange looks from people when I'm blaring ANY music in the car (as of lately...it's always Ev :p ). LOL. Maybe not strange...more like, turn your ****ing radio down, lady.

[thegoodsamaritan]

i dont solo drive yet (L plater xD) and mother dearest wont let me put my cds on in the car shes obsessed with u2 and noone else. but i tend to stare at people no matter what theyre playing, as long as it's loud ;p

[jumpershoot]

I dont usually blast music unless im on a highway or something. I tend to avoid drawing attention to myself when I drive. But sometimes Ill turn the volume up just to piss off the people who listen to rap with the bass all the way on. heh

[ivelostcontrol85]

I would love to see what I look like while singing in the car. I'm sure it's hilarious.

[A*Morbid*Hope]

Wow, I can't believe somebody didn't think of this thread earlier! I drive a Ford Contour and it has crappy sound insulation, so when I play Ev, I could hear it from in my house when I'm getting something. I actually blew out TWO of my speakers listening to them (prolly cuz I got an Xplod CD player, but w/e) . But people DO give me wierd looks, (i.e. :mad: ,:eek: :blink: , oh yeah, and sometimes :rock: )

*note to self: replace the two broken speakers...*

[KrazyKelly]

hahah yeah, I get weird looks and/or people laughing at me all the time
But I dont give a care!
I loooooove to rock out when Im in my car...(whether Im with people or not). I blast my music, sing and play a little air guitar/drums :yes:

[evfan23]

I get alout of weird stares from people when I am blasting evanescence. I actually had a guy yell at me but i just ignored him

[Ozs]

Well being 50 I have had allot of strange looks to say the least. From the youngbloods out there they seem to be curious when I exit the car after having EV playing. I've had many say I wish my dad was into that. Others have asked how I got into EV, I tell them blame my son Derek. He took me to a EV concert last year and I was instantly hooked. To him I say thank you!!!!

As for the old farts they are shocked and look at me as if to say I should be committed to a insane asylum. For those I jack it up even louder and tell them they do not know what they are missing. But you would be surprised how many old time rockers know the music or song I'm playing and say they have their cd or have seen them live!

I believe you are only as old as you feel and listening to EV's music makes me feel young. Which proves what I have been saying for sometime that this band has what it takes to stay together and make a lasting impression on the rock scene for years to come.

[LovelyPoison]

Ever since TOD was released, Evanescence has been pretty much the ONLY thing I play while driving, and yes I blast it! I blast not only TOD, but Fallen still, as well as a burned CD with some of the Origin/EP/cover stuff on it. Earlier this week I bought Chevelle's new CD, so now I'm blasting that also. I really like Chevelle, but I didn't know much of their stuff until I saw them at the Ev concert.

I don't play many of my old CDs (other artists) at all anymore. I got sick of them. You'd think I'd be sick of Ev by now as much as I play those CDs, but I'm not at all.

[Sparkling Gray]

Well, I can't drive but whenever my mom is driving me to school or whatever, I always turn Ev up REAL loud. People on the streets usually give quick glances like they're looking down on me or something while we drive by them. But I just look back at them and they turn their heads away. Other people in cars don't usually do the same, unless it's a red light and they're looking everywhere.

ETA: I live in a real quiet neighbourhood where you can hear everything and anything, even when it's just someone jingling their keys you can hear them inside the house with your window closed. So, whenever I open the car door and I have Ev blaring, people always look out their windows. lol

[my1nsp1rat10n]

when i first got the album, we were in greece and if i remember right, my sister was sick. so we drove to the doctor and it's like 11 pm and we get there. it's pitch dark, very creepy. there are like 5 cars next to ours. when we parked everybody went inside but i stayed in the car to listen to Ev.
anyway, they were really taking their time and this was like the first time i ever heard the album so i wanted to listen to each song even if i didn't like it.
when Weight Of The World came on i did some serious ROCKIN!!! :D then this guy cam out and stared at me for like 5 minutes, just standing there like 'WTF?'
so then the rest of the songs pass and guess which one comes on?

SNOW WHITE QUEEN

so i'm sitting there and it's now like 2 months after i've watched The Grudge 2 also, and so picture it: me sitting in a car after being severely damaged by that movie, alone in the pitch dark.

i got so creeped out cos then this freaking cat jumped onto the car out of nowhere! God it was scary!

[Lumynescence]

I remember when my dad was driving in Reading to get to the Ev concert, and I stuck my head out the window (we were blasting The Only One); and I heard My Immortal here, Weight of The World there, Cloud Nine somewhere...it was hilarious!

[Ayria]

People give me strange looks when I blast ANY song when driving my car.

Especially when I'm playing "Crutch" by Rabbit Junk, they say f*ck pretty much every other word.

[xBURNEDparadise]

I remember when my dad was driving in Reading to get to the Ev concert, and I stuck my head out the window (we were blasting The Only One); and I heard My Immortal here, Weight of The World there, Cloud Nine somewhere...it was hilarious!

i went to that concert too!! but we were mainly blasting the music on our way there, and i didnt really pay attention to other peoples' reactions =]

[Ciera]

Ha. I wish my parents would let me play Evanescence while theyare driving, No chance tho when i listen to them in my bedroom being in a community of dance/rave music i certainly get recognition mainly from people telling me to tell it the hell down ;)

[SunriseDream]

When I get a driving card I will surely do that too, and sing along with the songs while driving. It won't take even a year before I will be allowed to drive a card, if I just have money.

I would give a strange look for anyone who listens to EV! :D

[widowmaker]

Try blasting Farther Away, especially the Anywhere but Home version at a stoplight. Peoples' faces are pricesless when they hear "A THIEF, A WHORE, AND A LIAR!" They're dumbfounded and I laugh. It works well if you have good speakers since that CD is really heavy on bass. :yes:

[widowmaker]

oh and it's even funnier when my dog is in the passenger seat with her head out the window like HELL YEEEAAAHH!!

[scriptique]

Rock on Ozs, I say. Rock on and rock hard!

[Halah]

My friend didn't have any good music in her car, apart from a My Immortal single, so I put it on and she cranked the song up loud. It felt odd speeding down the road with a touchy sad song playing.

[Bristlehead]

People are just probably staring because your music is loud...

[ghetto fab]

^I think it's more b/c they're entranced by Amy Lee's vocals.

:love:

[MattardJR]

I get looked at somewhat when I do it, but only looked at strangely when I have 2 buddies with me singing along to every word while doing it.

[Stef]

haha yeah, especially when i am in a car park waiting to get out. Today there were these two old ladies walking past and the chorus of sweet sacrifice came blaring on, and they jumped and just stared at me. haha good times.

[ivelostcontrol85]

lol, that's funny. You shouldn't be scaring old people though.... ;)

[Cirafly24]

Actually, no I don't get weird looks when I'm blasting any music in my car. I live in an area where pretty much every other car is blasting music (it sucks when you're trying to sleep).

However, I get funny looks now because my car stereo broke, and I use my Mp3 player while I'm driving. There I am, singing at the top of my lungs, but I'm the only one that can hear the music lol. I like to make funny faces at people who stare at me. :p

[Zebra]

*vomits in the general direction of whoever decided you have to be 16 to drive*:(

I can't play Ev in the car because my dad will start complaining and after ten seconds he'll turn it off. He blasts Celentano in the car instead:rolleyes: The looks we get are much worse than anything you'll ever get blasting Ev.

[Ozs]

Rock on Ozs, I say. Rock on and rock hard!

MCR - Reading - 3 weeks My son and I will be there, how bout u?

[~*AutumnRain*~]

hell ya! BMTL goes on the radio and i start banging my head and i get stares and laughes i just give em a weird look or stare them in the eyes and they look away..I don't drive...i sam in the passengers seat

[Noah]

Fortunatley I don't do anything *too* embarassing while blasting music in my car, but let me tell you guys something:

Going Under is the best song to play while driving

As soon as I put my keys into the ignition ("Now I will tell you what I've done for you...") It matches my actions hahaha. When I'm on the highway, the chorus sounds...better. Perhaps its just the thrill of driving but I always feel really cool when a red light comes and that dramatic break comes before the chorus, "I'm dying again..." Then green light comes, the chorus.

Yeah I'm weird.:cool:

[Trina Segelbaum]

When I'm driving, I'm usually blaring WOTW, CMWYS, BMTL, and alot more! Some ppl will look at me and give me the, Your Crazy look, or some ppl will cheer!!! But usually ppl love the songs I play! If I'm at a red light, ppl will dance to it, or head bang to it! Kind of weired sometimes!;) :D

[Sithstress]

No but I blast it with my feet up and the windows down in the parking lot waiting for my mom to get out of the grocery store. People walking by give me the strangest looks! Me and my friend K were sitting in the car like that listening to The Only One and singing (badly) at the top of our lungs, and every time someone would look at us like we were really weirding them out, we would just crack up laughing we must have seemed DRUNK or something! but generally my mom doesn't like listening to ev in the car so....:(

[TODSacrifice]

Hmm, I do get people to turn and look at me but not because it is Evanescence but simply because I blare it so loud and am one of those people who bob their heads-sing along-tap along with the beat. My brother tells me he always knows when I'm on my way back home because he can hear my music blaring all the way down the street coming into the driveway, haha.
As far as my friends go, I've gotten pretty good responses from playing EV in my car. I had one friend who was bobbing his head along to Whisper (and he asked me if that was Evanescence). I had another friend who said she loved Amy's voice. I had another friend who really liked Thoughtless so we were both singing along very loudly and bobbing our heads to it. EV music=good times. :p

[llamagirl]

I got a strange look from a dog walker when i was playing sweet sacrifice in my car but that may have been due to the fact i was having a massive rock out, head bang moment as i drove past him...

I was also playing ev really loud with a bunch of my friends in the car once and when one of my friends said 'what's this depressing ****' i stopped the car there and then and made him get out!

[lostpain]

haha always!!!!!!!!:)

but i remember one time when i was singing LITHIUM
it started all calm down with piano
and two girls were looking at me they were sitting on a bench
the speakers were very loud and then I sang:

''Oh but god I want to let it go'' and started out loud
and they covered they ears:D

well I'm a boy and it was weird me singing a girl song but i dont care
if they think I'm gay or something:D

EVANESCENCE IS MY RELIGION:cool:

[Clairexx]

Hahaha, great thread. Mostly I get weird stares while other people are driving because we all tend to sing along at the top of our lungs. :) It might be weird, but its tons of fun.

[digz7]

i was pretty into singin anywhere when my baseball coach was next to me in traffic and i had no idea...he just started laughin

[lostsoul]

i dont blast it in the car but play it ALOT cause it makes the kids go to sleep in the car.;)

[RequiemLacrimosa]

... hehehehe... I listen to the movie soundtracks in the car... That's what I get funny looks for... Evanescence never really draws much attention... But when I'm jammin' with Nicole Kidman in the Moulin Rouge, that's another story.... Can't a guy sing along with prostitute-love songs? ... Although I did play Like You with the windows open really loud, we were on the highway so everything else was just as loud, and some woman beside be snarled.

[ImaginaryKnight]

I absolutely love to blast Evanescence songs while I'm driving. I get such a rush when I'm at a complete stop and have Haunted or The Only One blasting so loud, I know the people next to me can hear it. I'm a little weird, but I like to play Lacrymosa when I'm out at night... I think it freaks people out lol.

OMG. I WANT TO DO THAT TONIGHT. blast lacrymosa. yummm.

[xCloudNineX]

Like "lostpain", singing a "girl/women" song, people think that you are gay. I can't stand loud music at all but Evanescence might break that up, but only for their songs. When I get a car ... Cloud Nine will be shattering the windows!!! Call me gay, I don't give &#!@. I love Amy!!!!!!!!!!

[DeMarzi]

It's like this topic was made for me.

I live in a quiet town filled with mainly older ladies, and I blare BMTL as loud as can be! They glare at me but I don't care.

[Jaded_Whisper]

There was a guy blasting BMTL in his car yesterday. I laughed and laughed.

[h>>>]

I have no idea. I tend to watch the road when I'm driving, not the people in the car next to me (unless they're doing something really stupid...which is like, half the drivers in CT...). ;)

I feel your pain Katya.


...I think I get strange looks from singing along to songs in general, not just ev songs.

[ButterflyEffect]

Hell yeah. Half the time I drive I'm listening to Ev (literally). And I always blast it, so loud in fact that people can hear it (so i've been told, or more like yelled at) seven cars back. :D But i'm proud, and I don't care. And if anyone blurts out any rude comments about Ev or their music, I just turn it up even louder... :cool:

[Ruiner]

I don't have my license yet, :( but when I can drive you can sure as hell bet I'm gonna be blasting Evanescence. If people give me funny looks, who cares?

I live in a small town. And all I ever hear people playing in their cars is RAP. Literally, every day someone drives by my house blaring a ****ty rap song. It gets annoying - it's like, where are all the ****ing rock fans?!

[Desperate]

we where 3 in the car, my freind was driving and i was in the front seat beside. we put lose control when it started, his freind in the back was like"what a boring song man"...and laid down.....i told him wait for it ........and the song just blasted and bombed. He suddenly jumped and hit his head....i cant stop laughing till now....hahahahahahahah

[epuffgirl]

I can't drive... I'm only 13, but when I was in Disney I decided to play Tourniquet very loud on my iPod, and the mother of the four-year-old beside me was not to happy about it. Should've seen her face at the "I want to die!!" part. Ha-ha!

[Dark_Horse]

I doubt it was because Evanescence was playing - anyone who blares music out their car with all the windows down is just :rolleyes:.

[Passerby3030150]

I usually get weird looks for blasting old-era Nightwish, but not Evanescence.

[RAD61]

This has happened to me many times. While driving, TOD loud with window down, a car slows down next to me and puts their arm out the window with cell phone in hand. Cheering and waving. I smile and wave back as we drive off. I get many smiles from those that know the music, and some roll up the window and change lanes. HA!

[ev1736]

yesssssssss i do all the time i am black and my friends roll around blasting it and we get the strangest looks in the hood!!!!! lmao i love it though

[Breathe]

LOL yeah, I'm sometimes very inspired listening to Ev and then when I notice the people that are close to me their looks are hilarious. :D

The one I love to play in the car is Zero (the Smashing Pumpkins cover).

[SanePsycho713]

Well I don't drive, but I do get a fangasm if I hear an Ev song in a public area. I get so excited my friends give me strange looks and take a slight step back from me, and some elderly people look at me as if I'm having a seizure lol.

[1022Reversal]

haha. i think if people didn't give you weird looks then there'd be a problem. don't you agree? :p but yes, i get weird looks ALL the time.

[Brought2Lyf]

I love blasting Ev. I just got a new car and it has a sick sound system, so I turn it up and roll down the windows on the way to campus sometimes. it's awesome :D

haven't really gotten any looks yet, but I'll be sure to share when I do!

[tigger]

i blast it out of my room windows cos we llive in the middle of now where so no bad looks for me :)

[Phucket]

I had my MP3 player on the bus going to an Academic Club game and I was listening to Ev and everyone was looking at me.

[tigger]

yea when i listen to it on a bus everyone is all quete adn its sort of like ' yea dont look at me '

[epuffgirl]

It is very fun to listen to loud in front of strangers in public locations. The best is Disney busses next to the little kids' mothers... Haha I got the death glare from that a lot. I did that on a subway in NYC, but no one really cared as much, because there are usually better things to worry about on the subway. Once I can drive I'll blare Ev very loud, whenever I'm going somewhere, so people look at me funny.

[Dreamless Angel]

well y ai have to say i have got a lot of funny looks i live in a small very CHRISTIAN orientented town and when i drive down the road in my little Aveo people give me this evil look like i am satan or something like that i just sit there smile and sing along. and i will never stop listening to them when people think i should :]

[epuffgirl]

The funny looks are the best!

[Dreamless Angel]

that they are!

[xXEvHeadXx]

my mom hates listening to Ev so when she's in a store or something I plug in my iPod and blast Lithium,Lies,Bleed,Bring Me To Life whatever im listeing to at the time ^^

This one time we were at a gas station and as soon as my mom left I cranked one lithium and it was so loud every person at the station was totally stairing at me and i was like ya man rock on dudes ^^ and this one guy screamed TURN IT UP MORE and I was kinda shocked because he's like 45 years old =D
