Best Concert Nightwish - Hartwall Areena, 2005. wmv

From an interview with Gary Moore:
What do you think of Nightwish's cover of "Over The Hills And Far Away"?
GM: It kind of sounded like a karaoke version, didn't it? It's like our backing tracks with a girl singing it. They didn't really change it very much. The same solo, the same kind of sound, it was almost a bit of a clone really. I think if you're going to cover something, at least try and make it your own, but that wasn't what it was about. They knew that song was a big hit, and they knew that they could have a hit with it, which they did. It was a big hit all over again for them, so it served its purpose for them, I guess. It's nice when people cover your songs. It's flattering in a way, if they do a good version of it.

@thyrbse yeah whats up with that?

Speaking from personal experience with bands: Tarja is a hot house flower --much like David Lee Roth was; you must take care of them, and you either accept their moods or you don't. It isn't personal. The mistake is taking it personally. Which is what the band did as revealed by writing that letter. No disrespect to Nightwish; but they needed her to reach a new level in melodic metal and she needed them to expand her range. They both got a lot of good out of it. I like them both equally.

Nightwish is Tuomas no one else... when you hear Tarja or when you hear Anette...You are listening Tuomas Holopainen... Tarja and anette or any fucking voice is just a instrument played by the composer..

Fuck with the female metal shit...

The music is fisrt before any stupid obsession with vocalist
