Hi
This forum is awesome for information
I am writing abook about Nightwish and my travels.
I have seen Nightwish 121 times in 31 countries across four continents. Ewo (Nightwish manager always introduces me to people as the 'Crazy Number 1 Nightwish fan'. I appeared in the 'To Nightwish with Love' fans documentary (My age was shown as being over 10 years older)
In my book I am explaining of every Nightwish in detail and unclear individual lyric lines are explained and images are shown of references to Egyptian and Greek mythology, literature. Evolution and many other areas
I am including the history of each band member and thought I had captured all the information of their past and present projects but your site contains much more. Can I use this information in my book as long as I quote you as the source
My book will also cover many other areas such as:
1. Album tour data - shows by country and songs performed and their frequency
2. Songs never performed live
3. Films and TV series featuring Nightwish
4. Chapters showing all singles, live shows / documentaries, box sets and compilation. Each will show songs featured.
5. Sports teams and individuals using Nightwish music
6. Secret shows performed prior to album releases
7. Newly discovered species named after Nightwish and band members.
8. Background information about every studio album (including new album)
9. Fans drawings of band members
10. Unusual body art and other creative Nightwish related items.
11. Over 100 fan clubs around the world
12. Nightwish tribute bands (by country)
13. Much more
This is a mammoth project as you can imagine and I would hope to complete by end 2024. I would then send to band members to see if they are agreeable to content. If approval is given, the next stage would be the scary one of finding a publisher.
The book is to be called 'Endless Dreams : Nightwish and Me'
The book will contain many stories of my experiences travelling around to shows and meetings with band members.
