I know this is a lazy question from me, but is it true that she was sort of "fired" from the band? That was a bit sad to hear.

Yup, it's true. Tarja was classified as a "guest singer."

The other guys let her go because she started getting greedy or something. It sucks though, she has one HELL of a voice.

[Chrono Archangel]

Indeed....kinda sad... Nightwish was one hell of a band. I just hope they can find someone as good, or better than Tarja.

[Cid Highwind]

Yup she got kicked out of the band, it was said she didn't even travel with the band anymore but she took a seperate plane with her husband. I never got into Nightwish a lot, maybe I'll like their studio work a bit better than live. The only song I really like of them is 'The Beauty and the Beast'

Glad to hear you were able to DL it as well Mire

[industrian]

Tarja had become too big for the band IMO.

I saw the video Cid, the solos were quite crazy.

[Cid Highwind]

Heh, I like the guest singer

But the rest of the song was pretty good as well, but Tarja just doesn't have the kind of voice I like, she sounds too much like an opera singer. Just a matter of taste I guess.

[industrian]

Time for some X-Japan.

Tears

Dahlia

Endless Rain - Live - aka one of my favourite songs.

Forever Love - Last Live

X-Japan rule.

[Cid Highwind]

Say, to please some of the lovers of the harder stuff, and to motivate some of you guys to see their shows, would it be allowed to link to a concert of Graveworm we recorded through a mike? Please let me know if it can be done in public, or has to be done in secret

Btw, MaZa, I think you know which concert I'm talking about.

/Cid is going to watch the X Japan videos

Edit:

Wow.... endless rain... that video really impressed me, the end of the song really touched me, beautiful song.

But what's with the emotional stuff during Forever Love? Was it a special concert, or has it been written for a special event in one's life? The song starts with a pretty nice drum solo

[MaZa]

Yup, i remember it. It was quite good, except i no longer have it thanks to frigging reformat. I forgot to take backup! :cuss2:




Interesting. This is first time i have seen remastered version of Sleeping Sun. Im not exactly nightwish fan, but sleeping sun is really beautifull ballad. I think they butchered it badly! Tarjas voice isnt even close to her original omnipotent and operatic voice. Why the heck they wanted to try singing in normal female singing voice? Oh well...

[MaZa]

Here are some.

Dark Funeral - An Apprentice Of Satan, original version. One of my fav norsecore blackmetal songs. Slow breakdown riff, while simple, is really catchy and atmospheric.

Strapping Young Lad. Braindead trashing to the end. Quite silly actually.

JIM CARREY IN CANNIBAL CORPSE!!!! I remember the cannibal corpse part in Ace Ventura, but i had no idea that it was supposed to be originally longer. A deleted scene it seems.

Here is the Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face, without jim carrey this time.

Derek Roddy from Hate Eternal (and played in Nile too?), one of most versatile (and my fav) drummers i know.

Jamming in solo. Fantastic cymbal working too.

Playing song Behold Judas in studio.

[hushypushy]

yeah, Maza, if you have the ace ventura DVD it has the extended clip. it's hilarious. apparently, carrey himself wanted cannibal corpse to be in there, he is a huge fan. hammer smashed face ftw!

[MaZa]

I have only seen Ace Venture in TV and VCR, about hundred times. Never bothered to buy dvd versions. Anyway, its really hilarious movie. Never realised that Jim Carrey would be CC fan though!

[hushypushy]

heh, yeah, that's why its even more funny. like whatshisname from Morbid Angel is a huge ass Sailor Moon and Quake fan. he has a Quake clan called the Sailor Stars, or some crap like that

That Forever Love was taken from their "Last Live" - their last show ever. The DVD of it moves me to tears. You'll never hear a band like that again.

And yeah, Yoshiki is a badass drummer/pianist/composer.

Another couple

Weekend - check out how the 80s affected Japan, .

And if you want EPIC. Check this song out.

Art of Life. 34 minutes long, btw.

Another thing, check this out. Awesome.

[Cid Highwind]

Whoah, nice cd mate

I will watch that epic song another day, don't have the time for it atm.

Tonight I will upload a new video, so get Fury of The Storm while you can, cause tonight it's time for Operation Ground and Pound.

[industrian]

It's "Command to Charge" by Suidakra. Best album of 2005.

Talking of albums, what is everyone looking forward to in 2006? For me it's:

Suidakra - "Caledonia". A concept album based on Scotland's history. I'm sure they read my mind about this one.
Manowar's new album. Get well soon Karl Logan. "King of Kings" was awesome.
Rick Rubin's Metallica album. I lost all my faith with them as soon as I heard Hetfield say "My lifestyle determines my deathstyle" but ... it's RICK RUBIN!

Tarot have released remasters of their works as well. No more will we be held to ransom on eBay.

And speaking of Tarot...

Wings of Darkness (Live)

[Cid Highwind]

So far the only thing I'm looking out for is the release of Sonata Arctica's new live DVD+cd For the sake of Revenge. I already heard some low quality samples at the Nuclear Blast website and Tony's vocals were simply amazing. He even managed to pull off 8th Commandment with a clear voice OTOH I also heard some things that didn't sound right to me, but I'll judge that later when I have the whole dvd.

[flowrent]

oH ,Tarja got kicked in the behind over the hills and far away
Too bad ,she was really a symbol for Nightwish.

[industrian]

I'm just hoping that they don't "do a Priest." As in, they get an imitator instead of an innovator.
