Who or what got you into Nightwish?

When I was 10... Tarja wasn't in band, but I still Didn't know anything about Nightwish... My brother had two songs: Nemo and You Are My Sin... I really liked that songs... I saw video for Nemo and I was obsessed with that song xD ... After that I took from my sister few songs (I Wish I Had An Angel, The Riddler...) (2006) and I was even more obsessed xD ... Then my sister gave me DPP (2007), and after that I got fast and good internet and I download all their songs (2008)... I can say this is it

I dont know why I seem to think I got the CD in 05 when it was in 04. Me and my birhter used to sit and listen to it for hours on end. And then Scuzz used to play Nemo and Sleeping Sun a lot so that kept me happy

I think I was about 9 or 10 when my friend played me a Nightwish song on her laptop. That or I found them through Within Temptation I don't remember xD

Marco Hietala's voice when I heard his High Hopes cover.

I know Nightwish for 3 ½ years. In fact, I was looking for a Prison Break video on Youtube. And I found a video made by a fan. And there were a song: Dark Chest Of Wonders. I am totally fallen crazy for this song and this group. And since, I am a huge fan.

A brief history of my adventures with Nw:

Well my friend used to think I needed a musical intervention because I didn't have much music that I listened to so she gave me some cds she had recently bought that a friend from school had suggested to her. Amongst them was Century Child and upon listening to it I was rather transfixed...as in I couldn't stop listening to it because I had never heard anything like it before. It might almost have freaked me out a bit...I wasn't really that into them though and only had CC and OtHaFA to listen to and especially since I went onto their site and saw they fired their singer so I was like okaaaaaaay next band.

But I think after I started getting into WT more I got the rest of Nw's music and got more into them. Mind you I didn't become crazy about them until the beginning of last year...well more of less sometime last year. I got DPP and really liked it but then someone came around and showed me links to old songs with the new singer and was like they are bad so I was like I don't like Anette. Oh I'm not getting my history straight somewhere in there is my total love for the song Eva and my hilarious laughter at and thinking that Amaranth was a joke when I first heard it, but that is sorta besides the point. I also must confess I liked DPP more than Tarja's solo stuff at first cuz that same person showed me I Walk Alone. I hadn't heard she was even doing anything or I didn't even care really even though she was the first vocalist I really thought omg she has a stunning voice (it was at Forever Yours).

Then I sorta stopped listening to both Tarja and Nw for awhile cuz due to bad life situations I found my emotional health very dependent on listening to WT all the time. After all that was said and done I starting really getting into other femme metal bands and I really started appriciating Nw. When I saw them in concert last September I really didn't know much about them...now that I'm telling you my life story anyway I might as well confess to not knowing which was Tuomas. Which created a really funny converstation cuz at the concert me and friend were like OMG HOT KEYBOARDIST then my other friend was like later Tuomas is the keyboardist so I was like NOOOOO but he fired Tarja how can I be in love with him...and also I had the most awful time accepting that Nw's lryics were written by a guy that was obviously before I fell in love with Romantic era poets who are all like Tuomas so know I can see it very clearly.

After I saw them live I went onto their website more and kinda fell into the fandom black hole...well somehow I became a total Tarja fanatic, which is funny since I was like new Nw is happy yay so I was listening to DPP more again. But yeah I became really obsessed with them and Finland over the last year...
