In 2007, Lee fired tour guitarist John LeCompt and tour drummer Rocky Gray quit soon after. Lee stated that LeCompt and Gray "didn't really care about Evanescence at all, and just stayed around for the money" and that she would not let Evanescence be "driven into the ground". In an interview with Spin Magazine, Lee noted that LeCompt and Gray's writing "didn't work for Evanescence" and believes they "got bored or frustrated" because of this.
