NIGHTWISH - My Walden (OFFICIAL LIVE)

[@donepearce]

Emppu is great. He wanders around the stage doing his own thing, amusing the crowd and at the same time delivering scalpel-precise rhythm guitar, and the occasional blistering solo - always just what is wanted, and no self-indulgence.

[@GoGoTwice]

donepearce He’s awesome!

[@ericayala766]

Plus he does that little hop thing sometimes during hard riff sections...

[@ShroomRPG]

He's the kind of player that doesn't get enough cred, the guy who plays in the perfect style for the band he's part of, not overly flashy but always adds so much.

@@chadbennett7873 It is because he knows how much he and the band are appreciated, that he quit. The music industry, like pretty much every industry, is a sasspool and a crushing hamster wheel for artists. As long as they deliver and are loved by the fans, they're of use for the labels, cause then they can milk the fanbase off their money with an infinite ammount of merchandise, festivals and whatnot. The actual art get's reduced to a mere tool and actual genius is often enough discarded or dulled, when it doesn't seem profitable enough. I loved Marco in the band, I love his playing and his voice and genuinely enjoy the work he's done, but above all I truly admire his bravery and integrity to break the wheel for him, even though he could have had an easy life wealth-wise, if he'd abanonded his morals.

I just "found" Nightwish this year and it has really helped me get through my tough times - After a bad day, nothing gets the blood pumping like watching these amazing videos and having my cares melt away. Each of the 3 singers have their videos to shine in and it really shows the growth and breadth of this band - here's to many more magical Nightwish moments!!

[@awaytosleep5762]

I found them last March or February. About a year ago now.

Uhhh.. so good that you found it.. I dont know how old are you, but I started listening this band in 2001.. by random chance I was given a NW album and my bro a Korn album..

And in this year see them for the first time at Wacken! And I think so too, every effort got his moments, but my favorite is still Oceanborn! Have a nice weekend and stay healthy!

I stumbled across Nightwish less then a year ago and can't get enough. All the versions of the group are so awesome. From Tajra to Annette to Floor

Same here Jeremy. I've no idea how I'd never heard of Nightwish or Floor before. My musical world has been turned upside down and inside out. Phenomenal band. 🙏😊👍❤️

[@danilolapierre5610]

Tuomas Holopainen is a genius. I can't believe that I ignored Nightwish for over 15 years. I knew about them but I prefered Within Temptation, Theatre of Tragedy, and Lacuna Coil for whatever reason. I just realized 5 days ago, when I stumbled over GLS @ Wacken 2013, what I have been missing and since then I'm doing nothing else but trying to catch up. Just eating, sleeping and listening to Nightwish up and down the internet the rest of the day. Their music is so freaking versatile, and My Walden - gosh! - how can't ALL these ppl in the crowd dance like crazy? This song is fantastic, so lively, so enthralling. I'm stunned.

[@benedictul]

I get it. Honestly. Sharon is a queen. The combo of Liv Kristine's vocals and ToT's eerie sounds was amazing. Cristina's voice on Swamped and Our Truth made me think those were the best metal songs ever. I love Simone Simmons' powerful operatic voice in Epica and Anneke's in The Gathering. But, eventually, Nightwish just feels like home, regardless of their lead singer.

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

I think we’ve all been there.

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

You never tuned into Epica? You should try Rivers by them and go from there. Floor has from time to time been a guest performer in their shows. Like within Temptation and Floor they are a Dutch symphonic band.

That was a powerful and magical show from Nightwish. The Vehicle Of Spirit DVD/Blu-ray Editions so beautiful (especially the Earbook Edition with so many photos). The Wembley Arena and the Tampere Show so awesome and pure magic. Great songs from the Endless Forms Most Beautiful Tour and some golden oldie Nightwish songs with many-many extras. Floor rules the full stage with full of energy, with dancing moves, small theatrical gestures and communication with the audience. This woman is a pure magic and gift for humanity. And that singing and voice. Just wow. Powerful and beautiful performance. I'm truly amazed every single time. Floor have a beautiful heart and soul! I love this woman. Her voice, performance, femininity, presence, style... all of them! I really hope Floor will singing for so many years for us (and Nightwish too). Floor deserve every support, love, appreciation and respect! I hope one day I meet with her and we can talk a little bit (and thank her for everything includes the After Forever/ReVamp era). Really can't wait the new Nightwish DVD/Blu-ray (Decades Live) release this year! :)

[@HellcatM]

I just love in so many videos of yours I see you guys showing each other how much you care for each other. Pats on the back, little show of affection showing how close you are as a band. Having little conversations with each other to giving a parched guitar player a drink while he's playing. You don't see that in American bands.

[@hamstermunchies5558]

All the love and appreciation for each other gives the concerts a warm, harmonic feel. They have fantastic chemistry so the music is tighter as a result. The show might go on but if band mates can't stand each other the audience can feel it. It can be really uncomfortable, even if they are acting civil. Its commonly a problem when bands are formed to make money instead of music

[@janipro123]

And if you have studied the history from Nightwish, that is why they got rid of Tarja Turunen. She was saying that she could ditch and leave the band with in the days notice. One other thing Tarja did say is that she would not tour in Argentina or America ever again. And one time time they were almost forced to cancel the gig in the Oslo because of Tarja. So the decision to fire Tarja was a group decision. I do not know if that was the case. So the Tarja does not seem a team player like Floor and was acting like diva.
