IMO nightwish=RIP without opera singing. Now they sound like within temptation. I think that Tarja's soprano voice was the crucial aspect in the band's sound, and it made them unique, unlike other woman fronted bands. I don't really like their new single's vocals, although music is great and the solo in the end is very melodic. Tuomas should have chosen a soprano singer... or mezzo soprano singer. That would be awshome. But let's see what their new CD will look like. Sadly, too many good bands are R.I.P now...

Eh, they're just R.I.P. to certain people. IMO Tuorinen(or however the hell the keyboardist/composer's name is spelled) is what makes Nightwish. I would have liked to see 'em with an R&B singer, honestly.

Well there are 3 things that make NW (or made anyways) 1. Soprano voice 2. Tuomases music 3. Dwarf guitarist
1st one was greater than the other 2 I think.

As far as I can tell, their guitarist is about the same size as me (what, 5'11"? I don't know the centimetres).

so basically if they take you instead of emppu their sound ain't gonna change... It's weird to see Emppu standing near Tarja on vids... He really looks dwarfy

Hell, I can play most of their shite. I'm also fucking sexy. Album sales would probably go up if I played guitar. I could also write better riffs than about 35% of what they've got (particularly on Once). (Oh, and I'm humble.)

It's strange that Tuomas lets Emppu play mostly powerchord rythm guitar, and in how many songs do they have guitar solos? I would like to hear a guitar solo on The Siren instead of violin... But I think Tuomas does that to bring their music closer to classical than to metal. :S

Agreed, Torkin. Wanderlust was DOS, albeit hard to listen to. Some more solos would be nice. The thing that bugs me is that they've gotten farther from actual RIFFS instead of power-chord strumming as they've gone along. Look at Wishmaster and Oceanborn - awesome songs /and/ actual riffage. Strumming power chords is false. *flex*

I only like a couple of riffs on wishmaster. Ever got a feeling that kinslayer, she is my sin and wishmaster riffs are somewhat... similar? But Oceanborn and Wishmaster were great albums, but I started to listen to Once and Century Child a lot now, especially those longer songs, beauty of the beast, creek mary's blood and ghost love score, they have some classical feel to them which I like a lot

The riffs are a bit similar, but that does not make them any less awesome! They're also very similar songs.

Hehe true, but their mood is different tho. Wishmaster is happy headbang song, She is my sin is semi sad and kinslayer is teh dhoom methal (or sumting). Riffs are small if you play them alone, but with a band arrangement they sound cruel and powerdos!!! \m/

Why are there so many girl fronted hard rock and metal(ish) bands know.
Nightwish, Kittie, Flee the Seen, Bloodlined Calligraphy, Walls of Jericho, Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil, Flyleaf, Within Temptation, After Forever, and of course Evanescence.
I don't get why in the past couple of years this has happened. A lot of those girls scream. It scares me. But apparently all of you understand it.

I listen to NW and WT because they are very different from all other metal bands. They have really nice melodies too. Evanescence is just a heavilized pop rock band imo, although they have good songs too. Arch enemy are genuises When they fired that male singer and got a girl, you couldn't have heard any difference. That chick is fkn brutal... Officially turns me on hehe
