Terry Balsamo (Cold, Evanescence)

I know i never have posted but its just that i am a dip shit when it comes 2 computers and i finally got one. But i have always even when i was in Cold and now checked out what was going with the board and seeing what everyone had going on. Obviously i see that everyone has good feelings, mixed feelings, and some shity ones about the way things have turned out. But i just saw the posts that are up and i really felt like it was time 4 me to come say hi and let you know how much i appreciate everyway you guys have supported me in cold and some of you now!!!!!! Even you haters (i know your around) thanks 4 the support you gave me when i was in cold. If you really think that i would leave something that i worked so hard 4 and loved more than life itself with what jerm, scooter,sam,kelly,and myself believed in to join a bigger band , you just really dont know me and it really just does nothing but make me stronger and give me alot of good laughs, ev. was not the 1st bigger band that offerd me another gig. So you haters, keep up the good work cause i love reading your funny shit!! The music i wrote with cold will always be such a big part of my life 4 ever and ever! Alot of things happen on the inside with bands that fans just dont know about. Things got crazy towards the end and it was just time to move on. Cold will always be one of the most important times in my life! I would be a liar if i said i dont miss it even with all the bullshit towards the end that went down. But you never no because things sometimes happen 4 the better because i would be lying again if i said i dont love what i am doing now. I am looking foward to the new cold record just as much as the rest of you because god himself knows that music really sucks so bad right now and we need some good shit to listen to and i think the guys will not dissapoint us(hurry up fuckers). And 4 those of you giving scooter and the band shit 4 the whole eddie thing going down, no disrespect to eddie but being apart of cold like i was, i dont think he is the guy 4 cold and they will be just fine. After all, the guy went around saying how better he was then me when all he was doing was playing my shit.(they will be just fine with matt) But i want you all to no that you all will always be apart of my life! Leaving cold probably was one of the most difficult decisions i have ever made, but i did it and i cant look back now. I really do think good things can come out of this. Cold we know will put out an amazing record,and the stuff me and amy have started is so fun for me because it is alot of stuff i have never done before. Im really excited about our new shit even if you dont give a shit, this is my life and im very happy. Alot of you dipshits need to get off the amy drama because she has sold alot of records as we all know on the last record but trust me when i tell you that is far from anything she cares about. She has more passion 4 just the music part of it then anyone i know. I dont want to turn this into a evanescence topic but there has been so much shit about it on here. When this whole shit about her saying something about scooter it was far from any disrespect. She was actually one person that believed in cold because if you remember the last cold tour with me and kelly was with ev.. And by the way if you saw the billboard awards last night , it was a disaster, our keyboard tech for amy had the keyboard set a whole step out of key from what the guitars were in tune to, it was actually kind of funny because it reminded me of some shit that would happen while i was in cold. Anyways, i hope everybody can just move on and be happy because i am very happy with the music im doing now and i think colds next record will be amazing , we cant do nothing but move on and drop all the bullshit!! I will always be apart of this and love it. But please know i would never take 4 granted how great you guys are and back up cold now and then!
Terry
