I guess I got something mixed up (sleep dep ). I thought I had read before, that they had already picked one, but to not believe any speculation as to who it was. Thanks for the correction.St Enigma said:Nightwish haven't even started to look for a new singer yet, even they are flooded with demos from hopeful applicants from all over the world. This was according to Tuomas Holopainen in one of latest interviews a couple of weeks ago.
Arjen Lucassen says in this fresh interview made two weeks ago on tour with Stream Of Passion in Germany:
They are playing half the set their own and and another half Ayreon material and that'll be as close to live Ayreon performance you'll ever get.
Maybe they could put up some kind of small tour starting from PP to cover the costs, like many European bands have done.
It wouldnt cost too much to ask from Arjen, would it?
.
As far as Stream of Passion playing Prog Power, I'd be all for that! Looking at them as a new band with only one CD, they're obviously not ready for/established enough for headliner status at PP. But, they have Arjen and you said that half the set is Ayreon songs, so looking at those factors, they would be qualified for headliner status. But, Glenn said that anything involving Arjen would be too expensive. But, I would gladly pay extra to see Arjen in any of his bands/projects!
