Planet Hell

Hehehehe...anyway he is Maestro Holopainen!

Yes...and the best poet alive <333333333333333(if Shakespear was alive he`ll be my 2nd )

Marco's voice is quite aggressive and sinister on it so thats probably why I love it. Tarja and Marco's voices really work together well on Planet Hell. It's a really dramatic song.

I never really got the lyrics until I watched From Hell. The whole 'Save yourself a penny for the ferryman'. I do wonder if Tuomas got any inspiration from that as he seems to love Johnny Depp films.

I thought the song meant that in humanity's quest to find meaning in Heaven and recreate it on earth that the actual earth had been destroyed for what it was.

It's more likely that. Thats a really good interpretation, it's got me thinking. Need to go listen to Planet Hell again. I never got the line because your meant to put pennies over the eyes of the dead. I'd never heard of that before.

Live on the "End Of An Era" DVD is the best version for me. I love this song!! When Marco says "welcome to planet hell" I just want to start singing along and headbanging!
