Why they might be annoying:

    Ben Moody introduced himself to Amy Lee at youth church camp, when he saw her playing a Meat Loaf song on the piano.
    Lee and Moody were once engaged to each other, but broke it off.
    They wrote a goth anthem ('Understanding').
    In an interview with Stranger Things Magazine, Moody said: 'The lineup is Amy Lee, Ben Moody (myself) and David Hodges. I don't think it would ever work any other way.' Since then, Hodges left (to do Christian music) and the lineup has changed.
    Amy Lee has a piercing above her left eye.
    They credit the tattoo artist in the 'Fallen' album booklet.
    When Lee tried to visit the Empire State Building to see the observatory deck on the top floor, she walked up to the wrong building.
    Ben wore an 'I Love Alyssa Milano' shirt at the Teen Choice Awards. They got a limo driver fired because he refused to turn the car around to pick up the shirt (2003).
    During a radio interview with Wank & O'Brien, Lee admitted that she hated living in Little Rock, Arkansas.
    Guitarist/co-founder Ben Moody walked out on the band in the middle of their European tour (October 24, 2003).

Why they might not be annoying:

    Amy Lee and Ben Moody founded the group in their teens.
    Lee and Moody claim to share an identical creative vision for their music.
    They scored a record deal without a manager or agent.
    The band's influences include Tori Amos, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Danny Elfman and Portishead.
    They've created guitar driven ballads.
    Moody said: 'The world is filled with hateful people who parade the name of Christ like a badge that grants them immunity to destroy anyone who disagrees with them and they are turning more people away from the love of Jesus than any other group of people in the world. The #1 cause of atheism is Christians.'
    Lee and Moody work extremely well together, despite the torn romance between the two.
