I never really liked Nightwish, all the songs sounded the same "emo-epicness". Older stuff were sometimes okay, but all in all was never impressed.

yeah! Tarja is living in Argentina now, I've met her at Avenged Sevenfold's concert some days ago.
 Their keyboardist is an awesome composer and arranger. I could see them live here when Tarja was still the singer and they did an amazing show. Great band!-------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Apr 21 2011, 05:12 PM)  I thought I read that somewhere Evidently she is pretty popular there? I also saw that she has done several tours now without Nightwish (Lucky Europeans!).I don't think that she is most popular in Argentina than in Finland but she married with an Argentinian guy so that's why she lives here (I think). -------------------- My lessons

I listened to Nightwish a long time ago. Not sure about today, they are still great I guess, but back in the days when modern symphonic forms of metal were "new" stuff, it was pretty good.

If you like Nightwish and Within Temptation, you will definitely like Epica. Check them out.

The blindingly Hot female lead vocalists certainly don't hurt
I'm digging most of what I've been running in to from these bands. Well built, well played, well produced. More than I can say for what passes for music here, E.G. Just Bieber (if you are a fan, please forgive, to each his own)QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Apr 22 2011, 04:52 AM) Yeah, Nightwish is good stuff My vocalist is totally into symphonic female fronted metal so he's into all the stuff like Nightwish, Within Temptation, Leave's Eyes, Epica and a more Celtic sounding band, Midnattsol. I'm sure it's got nothing to do with the pretty women... ooooh no.....  I don't have much Nightwish but I recommend the Century Child album.. the album after it, Once, is good too but a little sparkly and light on the production. The latest album with Annete Olzen on vocals is also very good but a little overlong so there's a bit of filler. Within Temptation I've only heard in Martin's car but was totally impressed with the singer's voice.. she's a total Kate Bush devotee and you can hear it.. I think she's a better all round singer than Tarja I like Epica too Been a fan since I saw "we will take you with us". Simone Simmons. My oh my. What a voice, what a performer, what a gal!QUOTE (K1R @ Apr 25 2011, 05:05 PM) If you like Nightwish and Within Temptation, you will definitely like Epica. Check them out. It maybe a "great" following, but it's certainly a small one. I don't know anyone personally who'se ever heard of them and I know a ton of folks who dig Metal and the like. I started introducing them to friends and they were like "who?" "Is this Opera?" the internet is a great way to find Music. Radio these days seems like one of the worst and mtv a close second. Todd QUOTE (The Uncreator @ Apr 22 2011, 03:11 PM) Nightwish have a great following in the states, I have been listening to them since Wishmaster came out when I was 10. I have seen them twice, once with Tarja and once withe Annette - Both singers add a unique and different personality, which are both beautiful. Both times were amazing shows. Songwriting wise, few bands come close - As much as I love Within Temptation, Tuomas Holopainen's composing skills are on a whole different plane. Empuu is such an underrated guitarist, I love his writing. Marco Hietala - although not always with the band - adds superb bass tone and killer vocals. Jukka Nevalainen was probably my first "favorite" drummer when I was a Kid besides Nicko McBrain. All in all I love Nightwish, got to meet them a few years back when I bought a VIP pass - Really cool guys/gals. Imaginarium, both the movie and the album look to be pretty killer. |

Metal seems to be bigger in Europe, isn't is? Here in Argentina, Metal is underground for the local bands excepting 2 bands (Rata Blanca & Almafuerte). Then you have lots of under bands who plays for 100, 200 or 500 persons. However when an international metal band comes here they can play for lots of people, Maiden or Ozzy play for more than 40000 in Stadiums, bands like Dream Theater or Nightwish for 8000, and then you have bands like Symphony X or Sonata Arctica who usually play for 2000 persons.

Lot's of countries in Europe feature very similar situation like you described Gab, and the most developed scene is in North-Eastern parts, specially Scandinavian countries. Biggest and most developed metal fests are also there.
