This is really arb, but today while I was at work the whole day I was listening to nightwish (with the new lead singer)... and I watched some of their videos (like amaranth and the islander and bye bye beautiful)... I've fallen in love with that sound... those guitars!!!.... I wanna learn to play like them!

For some reason I Just can't get enough!

I love Nightwish.

Saw em 2x on the last tour.

FANTASTIC BAND LIVE!!!!!!

Thier stuff is pretty simple guitar-wise.

We do 2 covers of theirs with my band.

I agree, I love Nightwish
For some reason, I even love the new Nightwish more then the old one... I've got nothing against Tarja (the former singer), but Anette (the new one) definetly brought something new to the band...

And we can't talk about Nightwish without mentioning Marco Hietala (bassist, singer, and who I have wrote a Wiki about ).. He's just awesome!!!

I like the old and heavier Nighwish songs like, Wishmatser and Pharao sails to orion

Indeed. The Islander is quickly becoming one of my faves.

That guys voice is awesome.

Ever heard "Tarot"?

Thats another band he's in. he fronts it with his brother on guitar.

Love Tarot. Especially their latest album: Crows Fly Back. Ofc the music they create would be quite medicore if Marco did not sing in it

And it's really good that in the new era of NW the lead guitar gets more and more role in the music. Until now it was just basic powerchord stuff and some galopping while Tuomas did all the music on the synth. For example I really like the solo of 7 days to the wolfs (on the new album)

I dunno sometimes the simple stuff just sounds so powerful... I'd love to learn it





I haven't heard of them? I'll have a look



I actually don't like the old nightwish because of work: one guy at the office had his speakers on loud all day, everyday and kept playing like 1 song OVER and OVER.....


hehe

I love any and all Nightwish, I have every album and every album is just fantastic. Not to mention there live shows are fantastic, Saw them twice so far in 2 years, Kill to see them again.

Tuomas is just a briliant songwriter

I loved Nightwish more with Tarja .

Posted by: superize Nov 16 2008, 11:09 PM

I am with you on that

Posted by: Mrblomme Nov 16 2008, 11:15 PM

AMEN


I just miss the opera sound

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Nov 17 2008, 12:12 AM

I used to play some covers from Nightwish...long time ago...I love listening to their music

Nightwish with Tarja eventually gave me a headache, while listening to Annete reminded me of Disney pop singers.

hmmmm....

i think the new nightwish is cool and all but i miss the old singer...

i always loved the opera based vocals...the new one has a voice a little too "punky" for my tastes


but the new singer is very very pretty...i mean that will the most respect possible.

oh well...out with the old, in with the new i supposed.....oh and the bye bye beautiful music video also had a lot of pretty women...very different for metal, thats for sure but i like, its new.

Posted by: CathShadow Nov 19 2008, 08:45 PM

I really dunno why but for some reason i'm 'in love' with the sound ... everything just fits so well together...

Posted by: IDontWantMyUsername Nov 21 2008, 12:23 AM

I think the new and old Nightwish shouldn't be compared as the style is pretty different in the two albums. You can of course still hear that it is Nightwish, but there are things that have changed.
Though, Nightwish will always be an important part of my life as it was that band along with a few other artists that brought me into metal, transcribing, composing and classical
