Nightwish

I hope they go for the non-operatic woman. I'd love to hear a different take on the Nightwish sound.

Tuomas slightly reminds me of Johnny Depp in POTC in that second picture.



[EDIT: Just checking out the NW nightmail, apparently Jukka's thinking along the same lines as me...

"Sufletel Rada (Romania): How would you like the new singer of Nightwish to be?

Jukka: It would be great to find a singer who has natural sounding voice but who still would be able to nail all the high notes. By natural sounding voice I mean that in her voice there wouldn't be a recognizeable mark of a classical training. This is quite a challenge but you can always hope."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Marco's good in small doses, and he sounds amazing in Dead To The World, but he'd savagely, viciously rape most Nightwish songs into the ground. And he doesn't really go with the Nightwish style so much.

If these rumours are right that the singer from Forever Slave will be taking the slot then I worry that she wont be able to hit those high notes. But, if they find someone with vocals that go well with the music, and sound good against the older songs, then it'll be interesting to see how that goes. I'd hate to hear someone kill the old stuff with vocals that can't do it justice.

Yeah... yeah, I hear that, that's always a huge hazard with changing vocalists. Hopefully though they'll find someone who's perfect for the job.

Don't know a thing about Forever Slave, btw. Any good?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
