  1. I don't know how I managed to mess up that previous post like that, but here comes the right answers. 🤦‍♀️😅

    Spoiler

    1. 35 400 000 (in 29.10.2021)

    2. New Yorkshire, England

    3. Saija "Sani" Aartela of Aikakone or Aika, as they changed it. Aikakone means 'time machine' in English and Aika means 'time' 😄

    4. While Your Lips Are Still Red, The Islander, Endlessness at least as Tuomas told in an interview. 

    5. Hartwall Arena, Helsinki, 15.12.2018.

    6. Swallow The Sun

    7. 1.11.1997

    8. Troy

    9. 127.

    1. Umm... 1 million?

    2. Hmmm... I only know he lives in England. 😞

    3. I don't know? I actually can't think of a single Finnish singer to apply for the position.

    4. I would say: The Islander, Endlessness, While Your Lips Are Still Red for sure. But there are other they're bound to skip because it would be difficult to replace Marko with Troy: Ghost River, Poet And The Pendulum (😪), Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean...

    5. The last of the Decades tour, which was... Helsinki!

    6. Wintersun.

    7. November 1st 1997, and I know because it's almost time to switch the forum theme again!

    8. Troy.

    9. That I don't know!

    10. My guess is 2 hours.

    Thanks again! Looking forward to the answers! Especially #3.

  18. I agree! I don't know has Lutakko separated from Ilokivi in some point. My boss actually worked for years as voluteer at Lutakko, maybe I could ask her about this if you want to? 🤔 But I'm 100% sure that nowadays Ilokivi and Lutakko are totally different venues. 😄

    • Metal 1
  19. Yeah actually I know! They're two totally different places and venues. I checked that link out and now I am confused. According to the Jelmu's website, they are cooperating with each other (and with Musta Kynnys, it's a bar and a tiny concert venue). I think that Nightwish's show happened at Lutakko. I don't know was there some information about this on the Nightwish biography...? 🤔

  20. Fugazi: Haahaa I'm a little night owl, and I was having a good time chatting with you guys 😄 I've actually seen both of those music videos and they rock! Cristina is truly a metal goddess. 

    Stargazer: Wish I could do the same! I just take a huge deep dive into the conversation and can't see how the time flies and it's suddenly past midnight, like last night happened. 😄
