Now Annette out of Nightwish

Cool! I hope that works out, as I'd love to see your first-rate pics and vids.

Thanks, but the pit, if there is one, is going to be a war zone. They're already capped at photogs for the show. They're checking to see if they can squeeze in one more ... don't have high hopes, but don't really care too much either way.
 
Here are a few somewhat better quality vids. As expected, the mighty Floor sounds great. The band actually looks different too, and maybe more metal, with such a large frontwoman.

Can I just say that I really appreciate the fact that - so far at least - neither party is doing any mudslinging or the kind of petty back and forth in the press that unfolded after Tarja's split. I ended up thinking a lot less of both parties at the time, and am glad that's not the case this time around.
 
And really, I don't care that much, because I get to see Kamelot, Nightwish, and Floor tonight! :headbang:

As expected, Floor was fantastic. Great voice and great stage presence. It was like she's been touring with them for years. Last night was the fourth time I've seen Nightwish and easily their best performance.

Kamelot was in top form too.

I saw one other ProgPower t-shirt in the crowd, first time I've seen one in Portland. If you're on here, sorry I didn't have a chance to say much other than "nice shirt".
 
somebody go to the show and post a full song video. these short clips are annoying enough to make me want to punch a kitten.

Save the kittens. 22 minutes for your viewing pleasure.

Can't wait for Sunday night, Tempe Az here we come. Two van loads of Wounded Warriors for the Nightwish/Kamelot show, and none of the know of the new singer.
 
I honestly would be more surprised if John Arch isn't the singer for FW again within a few years.
I would be. If by some chance, Hell Freezes Over and The Eagles disband, and this event actually occurs (odds are infinitesimally small I would imagine consider Arch/Matheos is an actual recognized band now) the earth certainly would be shaken from its orbit and the blood-soaked ears of the metal masses would scream in (insert random adjective here, depending on your opinion of Arch: __________). ;-)
 
It's going to be even more interesting to hear how she fits into the Nightwish sound. I'm on the fence about what I've heard so far. I don't think it will be Tarja-era II or Anette-era II, but the verdict is out for me until I hear some new material with Floor on vocals and (perhaps) involved in the writing process...
 
This 22 min. video proved it right off the bat, Annette was better damn shame they split

Ok, can't hold bACK on this... Annette was a fucking joke! To even begin to compare her to Floor Jansen is fucking insane! That reedy whiny voice destroyed Nightwish. Now they have a chance to regain some fans...Hell, I flew all the way down to Atlanta to see thursdays show and walked out after 4 Nightwish songs...Annette hurt me that much! I'm sure she has a lovely voice that will fit in somewhere, just not Nightwish. Floor Jansen...she destroys everything in her mighty path!
