July 18, 200620 yr How about it's soft metal? Lol. They sure as hell aren't hard metal...Depends on what you'd call hard I guess, but there's not much soft about songs like Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, Romanticide or Dark Chest of Wonders. True, but I still wouldn't call them hard metal. 50% soft 50% hard then lol. hard metal/hard rock is music u can build a pit on like slayer, i never pitted on nightwish #-o not everybody wants to hear the bubblegum pop garbage.im gonna burn in hell and drink all of satans beer.trashmetal/deathmetal/hardrock/folkmetal die hard
July 22, 200620 yr Actually, there is a lot of meaning behind the Wishmaster lyrics. It's a tribute by Tuomas to the fantasy novels that inspired him. The lyrics contain references to The Lord of the Rings (Elbereth and Lorien) and to the DragonLance novels (Sla-Mori, meaning secret path; Starbreeze, last name of Princess Alhana of the Silvanesti elves; Silvara, the name of a silver dragon; and Shalafi, meaning referring to one of the main characters from the novels). I was kidding lol. I don't think anyone understands the lyrics the first time, if you did you have quick hearing, if thats possible lol.
July 28, 200619 yr It just won't be the same without Tarja. Sure won't, it will be a whole lot better. They played without Tarja as lead vocalist at some concert I beleive and it was so damn good compared to that "Oh look at me and praise me" cow named Tarja

She's a great singer that has tons of fans.

They played without Tarja as lead vocalist at some concert I beleive and it was so damn good compared to that "Oh look at me and praise me" cow named Tarja ^^ Uncalled for. And I'm pretty sure they played no concert without Tarja. "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."
August 10, 200619 yr Author Wow i'm surprised i did something right I made a good thread OORAH Can't sleep... clowns will eat meCan't sleep... clowns will eat meCan't sleep... clowns will eat me
August 18, 200619 yr Sad that Tarja got kicked.. I hope they will get someone similar to her.. But it won't be the same >_> Play free games for free gifts: http://en.prizee.com/?refer=Slayermaster
August 18, 200619 yr You guys have some awesome music tastes on this forum. I still like sonata arctica better. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....
August 28, 200619 yr About Tarja getting fired... She can't live without Nightwish, and Nightwish can't live without her. Both will fizzle out and die without each other. Tarja has been successful with her Christmas album, while Nightwish.... Hasn't. Tarja might have one or two more albums, but the only way she can be really successful is if she finds a new band or comes back to Nightwish. Though, I doubt Tarja will ever come back to Nightwish, and if she does it wouldn't be the same as before. Ok, got the Tarja thing out, now for the Nightwish side... With someone else, the songs wont sound the same. Sleeping Sun, for example, probably wouldn't appeal to people without Tarja's deep voice and accent. I looked at the auditions, and honestly, most of them are really bad :-s. Only one or two were good enough to cover Tarja's tracks, IMO. If they manage to pick a good one (I still have hope!!), they could be mildly successful, but not as much as they were with Tarja Nightwish auditions here Best auditions IMO here and here
August 28, 200619 yr Not to sound negative, but I like neither of these.... Also, I find it strange that so few people sent in their demos for the audition. Apparently only around 1000. They must have a hard time choosing between them, this must be why the decision is taking so long. A few days ago, they requested more demos be sent in. Obviously no one stands out yet as Cinderella :P "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest.

August 28, 200619 yr Lol, listen to some of the other ones, those are the only ones I could stand to listen through the whole thing...

I've seen them live several times, including once backstage where they signed my We Will Take You With Us dvd.

September 16, 200619 yr Bit of a bump, oh well. Does Nightwish have any songs in Finnish? They're like all in English. Me doing staff.
September 17, 200619 yr I think Kuolema Tekee Taitelijan is in Finnish... It isn't in English anyway lol

September 17, 200619 yr I don't think she was a great person, but she was a talented singer and musician. If Tuomas leaves, Nightwish are doomed. Well, they already are. That band will never be the same again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbThsWA_ ... ed&search= http://www.nightwish.com/en/band/members?menu=band
