About -10 Celsius, which is 14 Fahrenheit. We got our first snow too 😀

So do I. I mean, it's her book and she's entitled to write about whatever she feels like, and she probably doesn't feel like pouring salt on the old wound again. And I can understand if she wanted to make a book only about her and the people she liked/loved. But I still wish she would have told some stories from her time in the band.

You are absolutely right. It's been so long when she got fired from the band, I've read that they are doing ok with Tuomas nowadays so why bother. 

22 hours ago, Fugazi said:

I'm on page 22 and she's already left Nightwish. 🙄😁 

Not that there's any significant mention of the band until the page she tells us she's been fired.

Yeah she took quite a big leap over Nightwish era. I would've liked to read more about that...

Ok, #1 I had no idea! And I should have guessed #4! 

I read a few pages of Tarja's book, I'm sure I'll know everything about her solo career when I'm done, but if I read too quickly I might not catch that she was in a metal band for 8 years. 😁

Oh you got your copy! What page you are on currently? 😃

Here are the answers: 

Next quiz on Friday. Remember our DCOP as always. Stay safe, have a great week fellas! 😎

 Yikes! 😲 Have you been reading Tarja's new book? 😁

A bit yeah, I'm on page 50 something. It's been kinda what I expected but it's not as good as Nightwish's We Were Here and Once Upon A Nightwish (I've read the Finnish version only). 😁 In case you wondered, there won't be any questions related to her book yet 😎

Thanks for participating @Fugazi! I give you 5/10 and it was a hard quiz! I'm afraid that next week's quiz won't be any easier... 😄

9. The Islanders Arms

10. Nobody

 

That was amazing! I give you 8,16/10 points. You got 2/3 correct in #2 and 0,5 in #8, so that's why the score looks a bit weird 😄 Maybe I could post the right answers later next time...? 24 hours with the time differences (? is that correctly said? My tired brain is not functioning anymore... 😅) is really short time for answering! Maybe next time I'll post the answers on Sunday evening. 

And here comes the answers (in time, for once 😄) : 

And that was it! I'm starting to feel that I've already asked some of these questions, so please hit me up if some question has been asked before. 😁

Here we go again!

2. Which three Nightwish's music videos are directed by Antti Jokinen?

7. Which 1970's and 1980's American drama serie Tuomas is fond of? 

8. What detail will be the same in Nightwish's first and the last album they'll make? 

9. What was the name of the virtual Tavern, where Nightwish played their virtual shows in May 2021? 

10. Nemo is latin, but what does it mean in English? 

That was it for this week, hope you have a great weekend and stay safe! 😊

Haha 😄 I just checked out this week's quiz, and it's going to be quite hard one too, I think. 🤔

Hey thanks for the notice on #10! I edited it, now it's properly formulated (<- is that a right way to say...?) 😄 And you are right about that question, Troy has played with multiple bands. 

But yeah, I'll give you 3 2/3 /9, I left the #10 out. 

And @Fugazi, thank you very much again for participating every. Single. Quiz. So far. You would truly deserve that Moccamaster. 

And here come the answers! 

On the next month I'm going to see Nightwish twice, is anybody else coming to headbang their friggin' heads off and have a blast with me in the front row??!! Also, next quiz on next Friday. Yay!! 

Here we go again for the 20th time! 

1. How old Kai was when he started playing drums? 

2. Who two drummers were Kai's role models?

3. To whom Nightwish dedicated their Metal Of The Year Emma Award in 2021? 

4. What is the name of the road, where is Tuomas' childhood home? 

5. How does the first edition of AFF differ from other editions? 

6. Who actor is on the music video of The Islander? 

7. Which country is Tuomas's favorite to tour in? 

8. How many guitars does Emppu have on tours with him? (Or at least he had on Imaginaerum -tour)

9. Which album's first single describes the best the whole album? 

10. Which three Finnish metal bands Troy has played with? 

There you have it. Remember The Dark Chest Of Prizes, come ooooon will somebody new join my quizdoms already! There's some cool prizes available and I'm able to add one more in there! 😁

Yeah! When I first heard #3 attempted to join the band, I was a little bit shocked. Like how come some person from dancepop -band could ever fit Nightwish, to be the next singer after Tarja 'The original Finnish symphonic metal goddess' Turunen? But I don't know does their voice or vocal range differ so much from Anette's vocals. I think that their personality would've been a good match for other members' personalities. 😄

Thanks, there's no hurry!

I just searched for it, but I think that it's not available anymore. 

Just now, Fugazi said:

Thanks for the offer! 👍 I do have a request if you have time for that, my search mojo in Finnish is no good, do you know if the original 2008 voice.fi article about this singer is still available online?

I might have time to check it out tonight, I'll get back to you in a moment! 🙂

Marco told about this case in his book, 'Stainless?'. @Fugazi, if you want to something translated in English, let me know. I'll be happy to do it!
