yes indeed, nightwish fan over here :P:D
going to see them march 21 :P:D btw love they're new album
oh and notto forget I love they're new singer ;)
not gonna say shes better then tarja but they're equals easily.
Indeed the Fishmaster.
:) Yes the new singer is great Anette and Tarja are both fantastic.
Let's not make one of those big arguments about who's better like they do at places such as Youtube. Hehe.
Live March 21st? Cool. I'm seeing their next concert after that on the 25th in London.
Only my ex...

Used to be a huge fan. :3
Anette is a great singer, as was Tarja. I love the energy Anette brings to the band, especially in that Amaranth single.
I liked Nightwish. Im not so keen on the new singer, she's a great singer and all but it was Tarja that made them that bit different. They just sound like every other female fronted metal band now.
Yeah alot of people say that but for some reason Anette's voice seriously attracts me - she has so much to bring and the power in her voice live is amazing.
@CMP: Yes Tarja is the living forehead.
Quite a few finns have large foreheads. I think Lauri Ylönen may even have a bigger one :pQuote:

It's funny 'cause one minute I think Tarja's attractive the next I think she's sorta ugly. I can't seem to have just one opinion.
They're an overall mediocre band, Oceanborn and Wishmaster were decent power metal albums. For the most part, they're really terribly average and unremarkable.
"Average"? What makes you say that? Their vocals are always somethign to be admired and the rock infused with mass ochestral work is just mindblowing I think.
You know you're just cueing him to name a bunch of obscure bands no one has ever heard of (one wonders why....).Quote:

Not much of a fan but they did some cool covers of WASP songs.
Theres a lot better symphomic/power metal, they don't do anything to really distinguish themselves too greatly. I love Tarja's voice, and the orchestral work IS good. However, bands like Kamelot, Ayreon, and Blind Guardian do similar stuff but better, and are a lot more experimental (namely Ayreon, but definitely not Kamelot's Ghost Opera album! xP).Quote:

I just listened to them. I don't really care for the singer's voice. She sounds like she'd sound better singing something other than rock. I dunno. Other than that, the music is beautiful. :)
Edit: I mean, her voice is pretty, but it just seems out of place to me.
YouTube - Nightwish - Amaranth
For anyone who needs to hear the new singer and judge - check that. She's just brilliant I think and is equally good lives by the looks of things. I'll wait till March 25th to tell first hand. ^^; *squee*
Dark Chest of Wonders and Devil and the Deep, Dark Ocean play over Street Fighter Alpha 3 in certain online tournaments.
I have heard of and listen to all three of those bands on an almost daily basis.Quote:

Is it so you can tell everyone who do like them that you seriously dislike them.
it's just like metallica threads the moment the word goes out whe have one all slayer and megadeth fans bust in to say how much they hate it because they "sold out" (as if they're own favourite band hasnt.)
I believe I stated that I found them to be "decent", which is not a word typically associated with dislike for a given thing. My statement in regards to how remarkable they were is not a show of dislike or hatred, moreso a sign that I beleive there to be better bands out there.Quote:

So, in conclusion, shut up.
I noticed people said about bands being "experimental" and how it was a good thing. How are Nightwish not experimental?
There is a new feel to their music with every album and they even just had a change of vocalist. Surely that's experimental enough.
the fact is that they're experimenting in a way some people just cant follow, they're minds just can't grasp to the idea of experimentation in that kind of direction.
None of the bands I named are in any way obscure.
I'm allowed to voice my opinion on anything in any thread, no one is attacking anyone, so don't whine about it. It's called a discussion not a "lets all have a giant fan orgy."
I can't listen to Once and honestly say they're breaking new ground anywhere.
I listened to the "new" Nightwish and I must say that Anette has a lovely voice but NO!! I can't stand her...I might as well listen to Within Tempation and cut my wrists....
But I found that by the time Once came out Tarja had kinda lost her operatic quality, nothing like the amazingness of her voice from Oceanborn to Century Child. Not to say that her singing was bad, she just didn't sound as operatic as before. That's why Once is one of my least favorite albums...on the other hand, just when Nightwish had finally thrown away their awful synth-keyboard bridges that sounded like the casino levels from Sonic the Hedgehog (like in the cringeworthy songs Crownless and Stargazers, auiuuuugh!! and that's only to name a few) and replaced it with decent orchestral pieces, Tarja's vocal quality declined. So I think everything just started growing and happening at a bad time...
As for Anette, I can't see her ever performing epics like Beauty of the Beast or Sleeping Sun. In fact, I hope she never sings them at all. Everything that Nightwish was took a hairpin turn after the making of Once and Tarja's departure. If she had stayed on they would have been even better.Unfortunately she just had to go all diva on everyone. *sigh*
That's just my opinion. if you disagree, please don't kill me.
