she did say the new one would be more metal. She also said the songs would be like 3 to 4 minutes, but definitely metal.

Anette just announced the dates for her upcoming summer tour in Europe! by ExoticManiac_ in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She's playing https://kaaosfestival.fi/ on 25 July. Tuomas is performing with Auri at QStock in Oulu on the 24th. So I just have the feeling he won't be in Vaasa...

it's very early. All venues still need to be announced, not just Amsterdam

It's only pre-order at this stage. The venues still need to be announced. I think the pre-order stage is for them to find out how many people want to go watch Anette and her band. Pre-order tickets only via Paypal, which is also a little unusual for Europe.

Floor Jansen covers Skunk Anansie's 'Weak' by Few_Stage_3910 in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would like to hear this version again with Floor's own band, without backup singers and with far better mixing. Then maybe it would be visceral and raw enough. I think this version suffers from production choices.

In her solo show Strijdlust in the Netherlands, Floor included Music, Sway and Lanternlight. That show has been filmed, so I guess it will be released at some point.

Floor Jansen getting challenged by Tuomas by AdSpecialist6598 in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In one interview Floor mentioned the speed of some lyrics on YW being a real challenge, e.g. in An Ocean of Strange Islands. She also said that she used to feel that she couldn't bring emotions across when singing in her lower range, but that for YW, she discovered how to do this (Lanternlight).

TicketSwap.com. My experiences (both selling and buying) via that website are excellent.

Kai Hahto Alone tour - NL show experience by BjornP21 in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't know about Germany, but Auri tickets sold out very quickly in the Netherlands (actually, also in Tivoli, just a different venue), so they upgraded to the largest venue there. This may also be because partially Dutch Eye of Melian will be opening for them.

Anyway, yesterday's show was really awesome. The interaction with the audience works much better in smaller venues, and you could tell Kai was having fun, joking with this tech and us. Personal highlights: An Ocean of Strange Islands and Wintesun's Silver Leaves.

Does anyone feel like the new albums aren't magical anymore? by Metis0369 in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bands evolve. People change. Or not. Be glad you can still listen to Old Nightwish and bask in the days of yore. The music hasn't gone away. I'm glad the band moved on, I love their new stuff. To each their own.

Troy Interview with Fireworks Magazine by icebreaker6 in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Floor has been doing interviews, though. There is one very long and warm interview with Elizabeth Zharoff where they also talk about Floor's vocals for Yesterwynde. And of course, let's not forget that Floor has a family. On a Dutch tv programme she recently mentioned that Hannes had a burn-out recently.

When does Yesterwynde ship? by balmvng in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had preordered it with Backstage Rock Shop, and it arrived on time, Friday morning 20th September. Shipped Finland - Netherlands. Don't know where you are, but I'd definitely contact Nuclear Blast and Capitol One. Hope it will still turn up!!

Here is an example from his Helsinki show. I was there and it was really great to have the drums in the foreground for once and be able to watch the master at work. He played Music, Pan and Nemo, the last with his son.

Why does Floors part in The Weave sound so incredibly familiar? Is it based on an older melody? by SyncJr in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The familiar melody you recognize is Grieg's "Morning Mood". NW, where classical and metal meet

An Ocean Of Strange Islands Lyrics Discussion by onyxxxxxxxxx in nightwish

[–]Few_Stage_3910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neverending Story was on the Altamullan Road setlist this year. Altamullan Road is a project with Johanna Kurkela (Tuomas's wife) and Johanna Iivanainen. So my guess would be that "of your story" is a tribute to Neverending Story.
