Sorry, DB, but that's one thing about music fans that I think is absolutely retarded. I have friends that get angry when bands get popular. Who gives a crap? Oh now, now they're not the only cool guy at the mall with that band's shirt! Who cares?

Did I say I don't like them because they are popular? No. Nor did I say that I was angry at them for being popular. I was just saying that I sometimes like being one of few who likes a band, makes me feel like I found something precious that few will have the privelege of hearing. Also I want people to like Nightwish because of the music not because everyone else is listening to them. I also think I made it clear that they deserve it too. So you can't quite put me in the same league as your friends, sorry.

Did I say my friends stop liking these bands?

Either way, I'm not angry that they are popular (which would be retarded), I'm just selfishly dissapointed.

It's cool. I'm not hating on you. Haha.

I know.

I personally think it would killer if the band just put Marco on the mic

I think, Tuomas and Marco should do a side project in the same vein as Tuomas' origional vision for Nightwish (the kind of folky acoustic music that can be played around a campfire). When I listen to The Islander, it seems that they are very capable of doing so.

They could do that, but I think it would get old. "The Islander" is so good because it's different from what is expected of Nightwish. A full album might be tough to digest. It would be killer if Tuomas and Marco did something like a cross between Nightwish and Tarot. That would be killer.

Ok, after all this silliness, I found a Nightwish disc in the 50 cent bin at one of the pawn shops I hit today. It was Ocean-something. Popped it in, and skipped around. It's official - so totally, utterly, and completely not my thing whatsoever. And all you power metal freaks can take offense to this, but this is NOT metal!!! I feel like I should be wearing a tuxedo, if I went to see these guys. Talented? Sure. But I will take extremely "untalented" real metal that makes me feel something, over these, so-called, musical genius' any day of the week. And that chicks voice was incredibly annoying. Ms. Williams should come back from the dead and slap her around for a bit.

Just my opinion. Maybe some of their other stuff is better, but I won't spend one second of my life to find out.

If anyone wants this, shoot me a pm. I'll take most anything for it.

Hey, at least you gave it a try. I can't fault you for hating it nor can I fault you for saying it's not metal. Perhaps you were so turned off by the orchestration that you could hear no metal in the music. To me, Nightwish is a marriage between metal and symphonic and in every marriage there are people who except it and people who reject it. You and others are sort of the mother-in-law that will never accept this and I have no problem with it. So as far as them being metal or not metal then let's just agree to disagree.

That's it. I am changing my screen name to "Mother-in-law Saxon"!

That Mother-in-law Saxon sure doesn't like her 'Heavy Metal Kids' hanging around those Opera types. Bad influence she says.

Then let me save you some trouble. Don't try Therion, Epica, Within Temptation, After Forever, Visions of Atlantis, Oratory or Edenbridge either then.

Whats funny is, I like Epica, but Nightwish I dont care for.

Pretty much where I stand on these guys. They are not my thing. I've tried liking them. People have sent me CDRs to check out, and it just doesn't do anything for me. I really don't care for the vocals. Perhaps if I was wanting to listen to opera...nahh, even then I'd just listen to opera.

I feel the same way about Saviour Machine, another band people rave about but I just don't get. I don't think they are a metal band either. They hardly even a hard rock band, when most of the songs aren't even guitar based, but that's a different discussion I suppose.

Thanks a lot Ult now we're going to have a "Saviour Machine probably sucks" thread. Is there no end to the madness.

Whether you dislike them or not, it's cool seeing someone mention Oratory. I love that band!

That is the exact same way I feel about King's X!!!!!! They do nothing for me. I've owned at least 5 of their albums, including the hailes Gretchen thingy, and it's just utterly boooooooooooooooooring! Of course I would call it gay, but that would be pushing it.......

Had to play the King's X card, did ya Kmorg? You just condemned all the innocent peoples of Sarpsborg to utter annihilation. I hope you're happy....

I don't get Kings X either, although I do like Gretchen Goes To Nebraska. But other than that? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That's ok. We don't need the Elderly or the Norwegians in our KX family anyways.

Never been a Kings X fan, but i can see the talent there.
