Nightwish. Love them or Hate them.

Well I think it has become apparent that this is a band that you either love :rolleyes: or you despise then:mad:.

So I am trying to find out what you think of them.
I personally love them.

Civilian_Target · 03-04-2006 11:37am

They're everything I should hate in a metal band. They're cheezy. They're overblown. They're good at neither classical nor metal.

Yet I think they're absolutely great, for some reason I don't understand, I really enjoy listening to them. Oceanborn in particular is a great album. But sometimes they make me cringe really badly.

Nightwish are to metal as The Office is to comedy.

pyramuid man · 03-04-2006 11:39am

Yeah I know.
Its like I think they are a really great band but cannot get exactly why. Fantastic all the same,

Nightwish · 03-04-2006 12:31pm

well what do you reckon I'd say?

I reckon you hate them, and call yourself after them out of sheer spite.

pbsuxok1znja4r · 03-04-2006 12:58pm

I don't really love them...or despise them. They don't really do anything for me. A bit too far on the cheesy side of things, maybe. Did they get a new vocalist?

dammit...my facade has been uncovered!

and to Scousertommy, a new vocalist has not yet been found. They are at the moment accepting any material from singers who wish to be part of the band.

Tar.Aldarion · 03-04-2006 4:49pm

I'm the new voacalist.

Oh and i love them.In fact I listened to them all day at home today. What a waste of a day I suppose.

pyramuid man · 03-04-2006 5:27pm

No day spent listening to Nightwish is a wasted day. Pity Tarja is no longer with them

Pugsley · 03-04-2006 5:57pm

Their OK, there are better power metal bands about (terásbetoni

), and far worse (Hammerfall), and female leads even easier on the eyes (Christina Scabbia).

I love 'em. They are indeed a cheesfest though. Too many flute solos.

Nightwish · 04-04-2006 2:58pm

Ah Tuomas and his flute..............*sighs dreamily*

Tar.Aldarion · 04-04-2006 3:02pm

It's adequate at best. Now, I have a flute right here, especially for Tar...ja.

rainbow kirby · 05-04-2006 11:58am

I love them... especially Oceanborn and Once.

pyramuid man · 06-04-2006 2:27pm

Tarja is a goddess

Karl Hungus · 06-04-2006 5:14pm

They were excellent live.

senordingdong · 06-04-2006 7:27pm

I'd love to lob me knob in her.

Robbo · 06-04-2006 11:13pm

I've strangely grown to like Nightwish, in an advancement theory kind of way. Complete masters of high camp, love it.

Btw, do the metal fraternity actually find Tarja attractive or is it just merely a case of Oscar Wilde's hind-leg walking dog?

Yes, she's quite attractive.

Civilian_Target · 07-04-2006 12:21pm

She's not Amy Lee or Christina Scabbia TBH.

Nightwish · 07-04-2006 12:47pm

I always thought she was pretty then I saw her live and thought she was stunning. She has a fine pair on her!

Civilian_Target · 07-04-2006 1:54pm

She's an oprah singer, I'd expect that, but I don't really think her face is pretty, to be honest.

That said, I didn't think that much of Brody Dalle on TV, but in person she's stunning. She has a really athletic body and the way she moves is just :eek:

Tar.Aldarion · 07-04-2006 2:04pm

She's ok I suppose. Probably have to meet her to see.

I think I have a bit of an obsession problem. I have been listening to over the hills and far away for about four or five hours on repeat now...no, not the album...

Nightwish · 07-04-2006 2:24pm

I go through phases like that too. At the moment its Gethsemane (hence the sig).

I echo these sentiments. Lol

Fantastic, probably just for the cheese!

LOL - I remember the first time I heard that tracks I was, in fact, over the hills and far away (about 4000km from home, in a metal bar, with some very cool, but quite random, strangers) and it's stuck firmly in my head ever since!
