Having read master craftsman Stag's wonderfully informative blog which can be found here;

I felt compelled to offer up this crackingly rousing and extremely tenuously linked offering from Nightwish for this weeks Sunday Whimsy!
Nothing like a bit of Nightwish to wake you up first thing in the morning!
This is of course very cool, I've always liked that song... I often find Gary Moore a bit hit and miss but this was one of his better ones. Nightwish heavy it up really well!
ReplyDeleteI introduced my parents to Nightwish's 'Planet Hell' a couple of years back - they both loved it though I confess it was rather disconcerting hearing it blaring out of my 78 year old dad's bedroom at times!
ReplyDeleteYou cant beat a bit of Nightwish , tends to make me drive to quick when i'm in the car tho! A lot of their arrangements conjure up in my head a warrior clad in mail astride a mighty black stallion being ridden hard and fast through the forest green.......is it just me????? lol
ReplyDeleteNope!!!
ReplyDeletenothing better than Tarjas voice rounding off my week. Nightwish is not the same without her.
ReplyDeleteI'll second that. Try as I might, I can't help but compare the two singers and like you, think something's lacking now that Tarja's gone.

ReplyDeleteNow I need a tune to go with this poem.
Oh heck, nothing like throwing down the gauntlet there Stag! I'll have to have a mung around and see if I can come up with something suitably fitting for you :-)
