Here cometh the answers: 

Since Nightwish's shows in Tampere and Helsinki are postponed, new quiz will be here normally on Friday. 😄

Thank you very much! According to my calculations, there has been 290 questions so far and 60 yet to come 😃 

I'd love to see this forum in its full blossom. Let's hope that we'll see it next year. 😎

What the heck, I scored almost half of the points! 😄 Yeah, let's post answers tomorrow. I'm dying to hear yours! This was so much fun. I actually finished today my quiz in whole. After 5.2. I'll take a break to create new questions but I don't know when I'll start to post again. 

@Fugazi Thank you so much for having this awesome forum. This has brought me so much joy during these six months. Thanks also for the heads up, I participated in that contest. 😄 I hope that some day we would be able to hang out, have a drink and go to see Nightwish in Canada or Finland together or with bunch of other Nightwishers! It would be a blast. Also I wanna thank these two dudes we've shared a chat or two @mabla and @Stargazer, it's been great to talk about Nightwish with some new people. Also thanks @Spartanguy83 for liking my posts! 😁

Happy holidays from my behalf too, let's hope that 2022 will treat us better than years 2020 and 2021 did. 😅

Not bad! You scored 5/10 😄👍

I'll give it a go!! I'm gonna f*ck this up and lose my Quizmaster title... 😆

Gotta say, you butchered me with this one. It was really hard and I'm crying myself to sleep because I knew only three for sure... 😂

Holy shit this is hard!!! I'll post my answers later this evening. You've really done your homework! 

Here we go again! Have a blast and remember the Dark Chest Of Prizes 🤘

1. What was the name of Floor's vocal/singing course? 

2. How many people wanted their tickets to be refunded from the show in Seattle 1.10.2012? 

3. Whose resignation would be the end of Nightwish according to Tuomas? 

4. What is the funniest wrong name for uillean pipes Troy has heard? 

5. Mention three Tuomas' favourite science authors. 

6. Which song is written about Walt Disney? 

7. Whose book inspired Tuomas to write Creek Mary's Blood? 

8. Who has done the notations of Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human. :||: Nature. albums? 

9. What was Jukka Nevalainen's artist name back in the days? 

10. Which was John Two-Hawks' favourite soft drink? 

And there you have it yet once again. I'm going to do a post to teach non-Finnish-speakers to curse in Finnish. Stay tuned! 😁 Also Fugazi will post his own quiz, go check that out too when it's out! Happy holidays from Finland and stay safe.

Well there's good and bad news... Yes the shows will be postponed, but only by a month for now, probably hoping for a quick resolution of the current epidemic peak. 🤔

There's been a little rescheduling already, Tampere show will be 30.1. 

Yeah, that's very true. Though I'm a bit relieved that they postponed it because the situation hasn't been this bad. @Fugazi if you were interested in learning those expletive words, I can do some sort of post during the weekend or maybe next week. 😄

Well now it's almost official, that Tampere and Helsinki shows won't happen. Just a week before!! Just what happened with their shows in Netherlands. I'm interested if Floor will post something about this situation once again... I think I'll start to create that Finnish expletive vocabulary today to cheer myself up and probably you guys too. 😄

Yeah actually today we got some really bad news. During the weekend there were over 1500 new infections in Helsinki and tomorrow the government will decide if all gatherings etc. will be cancelled. It looks really bad right now, HUS (the University Hospital of Helsinki) is presenting new restrictions; for example gyms and indoor playgrounds should be closed. If tomorrow they'll cancel shows in Helsinki and Tampere, you might learn some vocabulary in Finnish by reading my posts and this type of words are the most rich compared to other languages in the whole world; curse words. In plain language the same gibberish sentence; I'll curse a lot in Finnish and I'll apologize my possible harsh language beforehand. 😄

But let's remember the main reason behind the cancellations and postponements; people's health comes always first. These restrictions are not made because somebody wants to tease and bully, but because of people's health. It's more than ok to feel pissed off, too. Nobody likes this and everybody is dying to get back to normal life. I personally feel really pissed off, but I'm doing ok mentally and physically. I hope that everyone who's reading this is feeling well too and if you are not, this global pandemic is not here forever and my thoughts are with you. 🖤

The situation with the concerts is so far so good but it's still keeping everyone on their toes. I still haven't bought my bus tickets to Tampere or Helsinki because of the situation if the shows get postponed or even cancelled. I'm praying all the metal gods every night to let us have and enjoy those two mind-blowing shows!! In Helsinki the situation is definitely the worst in whole Finland and they'll insist the verification that everybody has had two corona shots or you are not allowed to enter the arenas. 

Here cometh the answers! 

There you have it! Happy holidays guys, and stay safe. 😁 My new quiz will be posted on Friday despite the Christmas and there will be quiz on a New Year's day too!

Oh boy, the quiz is back with a vengeance! 😁 Tough questions this week!

  Hide contents

1. Of course she does!

2. I don't know, dance clubs?

3. One is "Tales From The Elvenpath" I think, the other could be "Wishmastour 2000" ?

4. Argh... Jukki and Jukko?

5. You got me there, I still haven't watched Imaginaerum! 😪

6. See above! 😪

7. It's Ewo the manager.

8. Is it the owl-phoenix-birdy tattoo?

9. Let's see... one week? 🤔

10. She was 16 when she joined After Forever, so I guess 16?

Yes, you can expect an extra quiz this week, probably Wednesday or Thursday depending on how I manage at work. I have some time off coming up, but it's also the biggest Covid outbreak ever around here just in time for the Holidays (again!) 🙄

You did ok! I give you 6/10. It's awful to hear that Canada's situation has gotten even worse. It's not great in Finland either, there are 1500-2000 new infections every day which is way too much on Finland's scale. 

Before we start, I wanna remind you guys of some chest called Dark Chest Of Prizes. The one and only Mr. Administrator himself just added a five day access ticket to the virtual exhibition to the Chest!! You are in for a HUGE treat, I'm a bit jealous. 😄 But let this week's games begin! 

1. Does Floor like salmiakki (Finnish version of liquorice and in English it's called salty liquorice) and sauna? 

2. What kind of bars/clubs Floor can't stand? 

3. Which two combilation albums Tuomas and Scene Nation didn't approve back in the days? If I remember right, Tuomas asked fans not to buy these. 🤔

4. What are Jukka Nevalainen's kids' names? 

AND NOW LET ME INTRODUCE YOU THE HARDEST QUESTION I'VE COME UP SO FAR: 5. What are the names of Thomas and Ann's band's other members in the movie Imaginaerum? 

6. What were Tuomas' only lines in the movie Imaginaerum?

7. Who comes up with all the secret names of Nightwish, when they are playing secret shows to rehearse their set? 

8. What tattoo Floor has in her right shoulder? 

9. How fast Century Child sold platinum in Finland? (30 000 copies)

10. How old Floor was when she started her singing career? 

There you have it! Next time we'll see, there might be two quizzes instead of one. Fugazi will do one too, I'm really excited and I will most definitely participate. 🤩

2. 10th Man Down

3. Beste Zangers

4. Hmmm... when his first child was born? 😇

6. It's Tarja, I would think around 2002 but it's a guess.

7. Nemo

8. Ok I'd say the first show of the Once tour in 2004, so probably in a Finland city like Jyvaskyla or Kitee but I wouldn't know the date.

9. Shadow Wolf

10. Cali-floornia!

 

You crushed this one!! I'll give you 9/10. 

Here cometh the answers!

I might do a special Holidays quiz at some point during the break, so that you get a chance to answer questions instead of hunting for them for a change! 😁

Actually I had a flow with making new questions this week, there will be quizzes on holidays. 😄 But I'm dying to see and make your quiz!!! 

Here we go again! Let's see if I get two participants to this quiz 😄

1. Who two broke their ribs at the Röskö camp? 

2. Which song from Over The Hills And Far Away EP ended up being in Decades combilation album? 

3. Which Dutch TV programme kickstarted Floor's solo career? 

4. When Jukka Nevalainen became a dad for a first time? 

5. Which was Nightwish's first song that ended up being in a movie? 

6. Who and when s/he got the invitation to Finland's Independence day festivities at the 'Finland's white house'? (can't find the exact term for that but I hope you'll get the idea 😄)

7. Which song had originally a rap part? 

8. Where and when Ghost Love Score had its premier live? 

9. What indian/native american name John Two-Hawks gave for Tuomas? 

10. Which is Floor's favorite state in the USA? 😁

There you have it. I hope you had as much fun as I have always making new questions for you. 😃

I'm listening to this right now... It gives me goosebumbs! Johanna's voice with really powerful drums and symphonic orchestra. Can't wait for their debut album to be released! 

Thanks for nice quiz material!! 😉
