    When ive heared bring me to life i thought it is a great band but after hearing a few more songs i realised that it is just all similar to bring me to life. I like them mostly for this one song. The other are just repeating their best song but in worse

    "Basically she went out and aired all my dirty laundry in the press. She was bad mouthing me and everything." - When Shaun Morgan's ex-girlfriend, Amy Lee, wrote a song about him called "Call Me When You're Sober," the Seether front man responded with "Breakdown," which, according to Morgan, tells his side of the story: http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/shaun_morgan_of_seether/

    And The Doors were gothic in many songs, not at all.

    Your concept is based on a particular meaning of what is "gothic" in the music, is not just about the lyrics, and is not just "about a loud bass and distant guitar sounds". You made a particular meaning of "what is gothic", as anyone in the world. I haven't mentioned the arrangement.

    I know what is "gothic" in metal or rock, Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Doors, Lacrimosa, and others bands from 80s. Evanescence is new metal, but the lyrics are gothic, many of them deal with death and have a positive view of sorrow, and the atmosphere remember this specific style, so why not?
