So, Evanescence goes onto the garbage list now.

Reading this article, is that your takeaway from this? The band doesn't seem to have had much at all to do with it

Yeah this seems like one member was put in an awkward position at a young age and didn't have the understanding he now does. He did harm but seemingly unwillingly

I'm not entirely sure this can be put on the band. They were young people who had no idea how to handle or even see what was going on.

Agreed. This is more a combination of naive people being exploited by a sexual predator, and the tragic ripple effects of that.

But that said, I just looked up a history of Evanescence, and there appeared to be a lot of problems in their first incarnation. Some of that might be the effects of the abuse their male band members and management suffered. But there was also a lot of bad blood between Lee and Moody that seemed to predate Tait's abuse.
