I would have LOVED to see that show live. I did see the clip of "I Want My Tears Back" from that show, which was very well done!http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/review_imaginaerum_by_nightwish#comment-1370162580000Re: Review: Imaginaerum by NightwishFinnish Nightwish Fan2013-06-02T02:43:00-06:002013-06-02T02:43:00-06:00Good review! I saw the Imaginaerum movie at the premiere in Hartwall Areena on November. There was also Nightwish concert before the movie. I would have like to seen they play whole Imaginaerum album, but it was excellent show with singer Floor Jansen!
BTW here is the setlist from the show; http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nightwish/2012/hartwall-areena-helsinki-finland-2bda9892.htmlhttp://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1352674389000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathFinnish NW fan2012-11-11T15:53:09-07:002012-11-11T15:53:09-07:00Imaginaerum movie was awesome!!!http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/goblin_gets_a_big_surprise#comment-1352079401000Re: Goblin Gets A BIG SurpriseErbo2012-11-04T18:36:41-07:002012-11-04T18:36:41-07:00That's the case in England, too, FNWF, more's the pity.
Many states in the U.S. have what's called the "Castle Doctrine" (as in "A man's home is his castle") that explicitly allows use of deadly force against unauthorized intruders. The law here in Colorado that implements that is commonly known as the "Make My Day Law."http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/goblin_gets_a_big_surprise#comment-1351860236000Re: Goblin Gets A BIG SurpriseFinnish NW fan2012-11-02T06:43:56-06:002012-11-02T06:43:56-06:00Sounds horrible. That's when you really need gun there. Here in Finland the girl would go to jail because its illegal to shoot burglars... http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1349648011000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathErbo2012-10-07T16:13:31-06:002012-10-07T16:13:31-06:00I believe that Tarja's exact quote was that she would return to Nightwish IF the entire band and management were changed, i.e., if the band were no longer "Nightwish." Honestly, though, I've seen some videos of her solo performances, even those singing old Nightwish songs, and she looks happier now than she did then, so it's for the best anyway.http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1349582320000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathSteven Buehler2012-10-06T21:58:40-06:002012-10-06T21:58:40-06:00I would never expect Tarja to return. The way she was dismissed all but guaranteed that the bridges were burned down.http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1349290362000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathErbo2012-10-03T12:52:42-06:002012-10-03T12:52:42-06:00Siukku: Yes, I described that right at the beginning of my first post. It really did go down that way. Troy did all the talking, though Tuomas was up on stage with him, and made the initial signal for quiet. I'm also told that the promoter was absolutely dumbfounded; no other band in the history of the venue had pressed on with a show like that in similar circumstances, and he was extremely impressed.http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1349270466000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathSiukku, illustrator2012-10-03T07:21:06-06:002012-10-03T07:21:06-06:00Floor Jansen sings very well, I am sure she is some fantastic "jackpot" for Nightwish.
I loved Tarja, but Anette made me forget Nightwish - though I have nothing bad to say about her, she is obviously a good pop singer, cute and nice. But if one loves heavy opera, Floor Jansen is only good news for me.
Just found your blog. Interesting info I got from here, the guys HAD asked if it was ok to keep the concert without Anette?! The annoying flower hat ladies in Finland think They just hammered the show on, without any thinking...http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1349128100000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathSteven Buehler2012-10-01T15:48:20-06:002012-10-01T15:48:20-06:00The rest of Nightwish's last U.S. tour was cancelled because of Anette falling severely ill after the St. Petersburg show. For it to happen again I'm sure would've raised some questions about her ability to handle the rigors of touring internationally, and I'm sure the band wouldn't want to see yet another tour called off because their voice has fallen ill.http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1349125064000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathSteven Buehler2012-10-01T14:57:44-06:002012-10-01T14:57:44-06:00Remind me not to be so long-winded in the comments. :-)http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1349125031000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathSteven Buehler2012-10-01T14:57:11-06:002012-10-01T14:57:11-06:00Yes, it was good while it lasted. Nightwish's last U.S. tour ended abruptly because of Anette falling ill after the St. Petersburg, FL, show, and this tour would've sufferred the same abrupt fate if not for the fact that Kamelot has a female backing vocalist in Elyse and Floor was also available (the last U.S. tour was with Sonata Arctica, so they didn't have that same luxury). One would think there'd be some discussions behind the curtain about whether or not Anette was suited to the rigors of international touring, all "Tarja vs. Anette" pressures aside. FWIW, Kamelot had a similar issue on their last North American and European tours when Roy Khan had a breakdown and left the band (actually left the music industry entirely!), requiring them to recruit Fabio Lione and others to sing in his place (thankfully they hired one of those singers, Tommy Karevik, as their permanent voice, and he easily slips into Khan's shoes although he's still learning the subtle nuances of Khan's writing and style).http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_the_aftermath#comment-1349123932000Re: Nightwish Minus One: The AftermathErbo2012-10-01T14:38:52-06:002012-10-01T14:38:52-06:00FNWF: Agreed; if Nightwish were looking to cement their symphonic-metal image in the wake of Anette's departure, they could hardly have made a better choice than Floor. Doubt it'll be a permanent thing though.http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_plus_magic#comment-1349123667000Re: Nightwish Minus One...Plus MagicErbo2012-10-01T14:34:27-06:002012-10-01T14:34:27-06:00FNWF: See the followup post.

This Floor Jansen is very talented. Cant wait to see her.

In a *very small* State Theatre with three other local acts opening for them. Was loads of fun but took a few days to get my hearing back. :-)http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_plus_magic#comment-1348934454000Re: Nightwish Minus One...Plus MagicSteven Buehler2012-09-29T10:00:54-06:002012-09-29T10:00:54-06:00I remember being at their show in St. Petersburg on 9/21/08 with Sonata Arctica opening (still have the ticket stub, that's how I knew the date), and it turned out to be the last show of Nightwish's previous U.S. tour because Anette fell severely ill. Of course, when you're from Sweden and trying to perform in 90-degree heat with 90% humidity...http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_plus_magic#comment-1348927104000Re: Nightwish Minus One...Plus MagicFinnish NW fan2012-09-29T07:58:24-06:002012-09-29T07:58:24-06:00You can see them in Finland on November.

Oddly enough, just a couple of nights ago, my ex-wife's new husband went to see a Sonata Arctica show in Helsinki. He would have taken my ex-wife with him, but she was too sick to go, so he took his sister instead. And SA has been an opening act for Nightwish in the States before (not this time though).http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/music_to_throw_the_goat#comment-1348909020000Re: Music To Throw The Goat To: NightwishErbo2012-09-29T02:57:00-06:002012-09-29T02:57:00-06:00I just saw Kamelot tonight; they're Nightwish's opening act. A great metal set. And, when Anette fell sick, Elise (their backup singer) and Alyssa (the guest vocalist they had with them) stepped in and helped save the show.http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/nightwish_minus_one_plus_magic#comment-1348908779000Re: Nightwish Minus One...Plus MagicFinnish NW fan2012-09-29T02:52:59-06:002012-09-29T02:52:59-06:00Good review.

A couple other power/symphonic metal bands worth noting are Kamelot (three of the four members live here in Tampa Bay; the new lead singer Tommy Karevik is from Sweden and he replaced another European, Roy Khan, who found religion and has left the music industry entirely), and Austrian band Serenity.http://erbosoft.com/blog/erbo/entry/the_erbonomically_correct_setup#comment-1348719031000Re: The Erbonomically Correct SetupSabrina2012-09-26T22:10:31-06:002012-09-26T22:10:31-06:00You better throw some damn good awesome hardware my way :).
