I just got back from Nightwish

[lafunky xxvii]

It was awesome. They rocked.

Tarja is so ridiculously hot and her voice is fantastic. At one point all the band went off stage and left her to do this opera song in Finnish. It was really cool.

They had really cool lighting and fire pyro and confetti at the end.

Discuss and agree with me that Nightwish rock.

[GhostMachine]

Did they do the "Phantom of the Opera" theme cover?

[Farmer Reil]

So, what were you saying about my taste in music, funky?

[Verder]

They are a good band, and i'm glad that they're here from Finland. At least something to be proud of, besides HIM. I went to their concert a few months ago and it was awesome. Tarja really knows how to sing. The whole combination of musical and vocal talents works well together.

Kuolema Tekee Tateilijan? Or was it a special un-recorded song just for the hell of it? Because KTT is the awesomestest song that I can't understand a word of evar :thumbsup:

[lafunky xxvii]

That's what Jukes told me it was too. What about Children of Bodom? They're Finnish, right?

[Farmer Reil]

Thanks for that

Also...something to be proud of? Most good music comes from Finland, and does so in an attempt to say sorry for HIM

Finntroll, Bodom, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Battlelore, Dragonland (are they Finnish or Swedish?), there are shitloads of good Finnish bands

Finland is the home of power metal (although Sweden and Germany have loads of good power metal bands too, and the US only has two, but it's not for lack of trying ), and thus, good music in general

Irrelevant of focusing on just Power Metal, Sweden > Finland in the metal stakes of things

[Farmer Reil]

Yeah, but I was focusing on just power metal And to be fair, Sweden are close second

Dragonforce are based in UK, we win

[lafunky xxvii]

BTW Reily, it was the song you said, I'd just never heard it before.

[lanky316]

You never listened to Once?

I went myself, fantatic gig and Tarja blew Lanky a kiss so he went home happy Far superior to when I saw them at the Astoria back in February. Although I had gone direct from Rammstein in Paris the previous night so that may seem why the previous gig was lacklustre.

Based in the UK maybe, but they consist of a Hong-Kongese and a English-born New Zealander on guitars, a Ukranian on keyboards, and a South African vocalist Dave and Adrian are the only British members, so we only half win ¬_¬

THEY....ARE....BASED.....IN....THE......UK......WE....WIN!

Hong Kong was British when Li was born, and the New Zealander is English bor.....good enough for me

[Krazy_K]

What's the name of the Kiwi on guitar?

[gunnar hendershow]

So you see Nightwish and my friend is seeing Human Fortress.

Damn you Europeans. Damn you all!! Though, to be fair, Nightwish does tour here every so often. But that's it.

Lucky for us there was a massive fuck up with them geting to the Download festival this year or we wouldn't have got Sunday night which was far superior to what they would've done half way down the bill at Donnington.

I also noticed a large amount of professional looking video cameras around. Could be very interesting developments at a record/dvd store near you soon...

[lafunky xxvii]

I was at Download and their short set was the reason I came to watch them in London because I took my brother for his birthday and they were one of the main bands he wanted to see. The set, despite being really short was actually very good and rocked hard. To be honest I prefer the sound on the open air venue because it sounds more live.

My brother noticed the cameras too. He wants to get it on DVD because he started a clap to one of the songs and wants to see if it came out on tape

And boo Lanky, you're the one she blew a kiss at
