Question for Nightwish Fans

Post by StratoHeart » Fri Aug 06, 2004 9:21 pm

:?:
Hello everybody!

I downloaded from Kazaa a Nightwish song, which was named Nightwish - Nemo (1), but I guess it not the first song of the ep. The voice is by the bassist in the entire song (great singer, btw), and it's like 3/4 at the verses and bridge and 4/4 at the chorus. And it's very fast.

I would like to know which hell of song is that, cause I can't find its lyrics and even its name on the web.

Could you, WishManiacs, help me?

I don't have the EP (thankfully !) but maybe you can try to listen to the samples and recognize your song there :

The song you just downloaded is Planet Hell. Nemo is more of a midpaced song with a piano intro and Tarja singing the whole song.

If the bassist sings the whole song, it might possibly be his other band, Tarot.

I was talking in general i think, so i dont think this one song is a Nightwish song. It may really be a track from his other band.. how was it called? Tarot i think, but i am not sure..

EDIT: havent seen nordics post :roll:

I would also say that it's a song from Marco Hietala's own band Tarot.
If you could write some of the lyrics here I could identify the song for you.

I like Nightwish because of Tarja's voice. The bassist's voice isn't very appropiate for Nightwish, but it's just right for Tarot or Sinergy...

I love his voice, and i think he gives a great contrast to Tarja, on the last 2 cds i liked most the songs were both were singing, like Wish I Had An Angel, Dead To The World, Slaying the dreamer etc... way better than Tuomas (?) on their first cd ;)

My opinion of course :D

Well it depends how you explain the term "melodic metal" Are they melodic? Yes they are. Do they fall into the same genre than Stratovarius? Well, some bits here and there, but mainly they play the good old heavy metal, with progressive and power elements. Do they have clear male vocals? Yes they do, and they simply rule.

But the best way to idnetify a certain song is the lyrics if one can't hear the song.

To be dead honest, as I never was in all my life, I can read and write in english with no problems (well... almost with no problems), but I cannot understand what people sing just for hearing the song, I must read the lyrics... :oops: I will get there someday, but not yet.
That's why I would like to know what is the damned name of this song, so I can scream with Hietala.

I just could understand that the chorus starts with some "Come with me", or "Go with me". But now that you said that maybe it's not Nightwish, I'm lost.... just remember: the song is 3/4 at the verses and bridge and back to 4/4 at the chorus.

Anyway, thank you for helping me so far.

Disagree. They arent more commercial or more easylistening, or whatever than before. Nemo is quite MTV compatible, true. But i still think that they are writing the music they want to. And just because they are played on TV it doesnt make them any more commercial, imo...

And they are played on tv in finland for quite a while if i remember right. I dont think that they suddenly realised that they can be more successful .. and.. stuff.

Good vocal, just doesn't belong in there sry.
So if one day the Black Diamond video gets played on MTV, you're gonna say this song absolutely sucks and it's a shame for metal ?

maybe they quite didn´t sold out...but seeing them on Mtv, surrounded by those empty-headed-wanna-be-metalheads, it just breaks my heart...
The other day I was fixing a Nevermore album filled with scratches in a store, and one groupie, with a Nightwish T-Shirt came to me and asked me if it was Metallica... :roll:

Some weeks ago they played here in Germany on Top of the Pops (this show is total crap here), i didnt see it, but i heard that they (especially Tuomas) seemed to be very unlucky and/or embarrassed, so i think this is a pro argument for them :)

Lucky guys for havgin a video being played on MTV. Luckly they are playing some metal video, as they played Hunting High and Low, Kiss of Judas and Eagleheart. Just hear Once and you will see that the other songs are heavy and NOT commercial. Actually almost every metal band have 1 or 2 songs in the albums for playing on radios and MTV. Marketing. And, since they don't change the course of its music, they're right. Let's spread metal music for new ears.

No, guy. How do you calculate if someone is metal "at heart" or not? For having all the Iron Maiden EPs, for having all Black Sabbath boots with Ozzy, for having Screaming for Vengeance untouchable since it was released, or what? Don't say things like this. There is not a Book of Metal Rules, where is written how you must live, what you must hear, how you must seem for being a true headbanger. At the end, we all hear metal just because we LOVE it, and it doesn't mean I cannot hear any other kind of sound. Everyone who likes any metal band, even if just ONE band, is metal at heart, because there is a some metal inside it.

Radicalism is dead. Metal music and Metal listeners evolved, let's open our minds.

No, of course not. This is what is called evolution. Even though Judas Priest might have been innovative in their day, they have become a caricature of themselves with their studs and leather. They are great musicians, though, especially the guitar players. I don't think I've ever seen a better guitar tandem, with the possible exception of Chris de Garmo and Michael Wilton from Queensrÿche. But I don't like the Judas Priest studio sound: the guitars sound much too thin, which is a real shame because KK Downing and Glenn Tipton sound much better at soundchecks. Also, the sci-fi sound effects are silly (listen too "Metal Gods", with one of the band members shaking cutlery on a tray to get the marching robot sound, and you'll know what I mean).

Iron Maiden had their moments, if Nicko could keep up with Steve Harris' galloping bass, but some of their songs are a bit pretentious and boring. Actually, their short songs are among their best material ("Wasted Years", "Can I Play With Madness", and "Aces High"). Bruce Dickinson's voice is phenomenal; I can't wait to hear Iron Maiden do a cover version of O-zone's "Dragostea Din Tei" (Maaiiahee, maaiiahoo...)

Black Sabbath is not very good, I'm afraid. They are only interesting from a historical point of view. According to some , they were the first heavy metal band, and that might just be true, if one considers Led Zeppelin not entirely metal. The raw and stupid yet very effective Black Sabbath sound epitomized heavy metal with its nihilistic approach to artistry, an attitude which was later appropriated by amongst others the black metal community. There is a distinct overlap between a Judas Priest song like "Breaking the Law" and the Black Sabbath anthem "Paranoid" - both songs deal with the perennial problems of the young urban misfit - and black metal essentially embraces the same attitude, although it tends to shroud sincere emotions in pagan mythology, pretence, and fantasy.

It remains to be discussed, however, whether these themes constitute the essence of heavy metal, or whether they are just one aspect of a much broader and richer spectrum of hard music.

I hate you :lol:


Disagree btw, i think that the old Sabbath Albums are genius and i think that they had a huge influence on many metal bands... Paranoid isnt a very great song, and surely not representive, listen to The Warning, Wheels Of Confussion or War Pigs. There are so many influences that still many bands have in their sound. in means of atmosphere and playing.
