 :wOOt: thanks, I just love them so much :) they're my favourites together with Therion and NW :whistle: I'm very happy I'll finally get to see them in Romania next month, on a headlining show, because so far both concerts I've seen with them were in festivals -_- now finally I'll get to see Tomi expose his magnificent voice to the full potential :wub:

Mine too...  :wub: I haven't been listening to them for a long time, but I fell in love with them the same moment I heard them  :wub:

I hope I'll be able to see them live in May...  :unsure:

yes he has beautiful long hair :wub: and headbangs like no other, well except maybe for Mats :whistle:

well except maybe for Mats :whistle:

I wonder what will you think about his voice when he also starts becoming old, bald and fat... :nana:

This was off topic but its Ole Markus With's fault... :ninja:

can't wait for my hair to be that long... :wub: soon...soon...   :wub:

I could have sworn you were going to mention this  :lol3:
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: MissSwan on January 22, 2008, 09:50:53 pm
first of all: shut up :nana: second of all: I'll always be a fan of Mats no matter how he may or may not look like... I'm well past the fase where I'd like someone for their looks alone, especially in Mats' case when i've also gotten to know him well enough as a person and see how great he is :wub:

*ends the off-topic madness*

Amorphis now, favourite song anyone? I'm torn between House of Sleep and Towards and Against at the moment... yes as you can see the Tomi era is my favourite :wub:
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: Mystique on January 22, 2008, 09:55:14 pm
I love Brother Moon....and Silent Waters...and Alone...
although...most of their songs are awesome...  :wub:

Started by YOU... :P

Btw MissSwan, I think OFFy asked you to WRITE something about Amorphis, NOT to post a link to a live video... you know Internet is full of live videos to various bands these days... no hard feelings... :fish:

Please write something about Amorphis, maybe in another topic.

*shuts up and goes listening to Amorphis songs in order to choose the best one*
:innocent:

17th time and still counting...

err i posted MY video so SHUT UP, I don't have time right now to write a detailed concert report, so i preferred to let the images and sounds speak for me... it's not like I can say sth that can illustrate the concert more than a live video from the said concert... stop annoying me :fish:
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: NeMo on January 22, 2008, 10:35:34 pm

*shuts up*
:sofa:

Btw, I'm listening to Silent Waters right now... I liked the song tittle so I picked up that one. ;) Now I see the tittle is not the only thing I like about the song... ^_^ I might buy their CD... which one to start with? :unsure:
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: MissSwan on January 22, 2008, 10:37:14 pm
the latest :) "Silent Waters", "Eclipse" would be a good choice too... Amorphis is a band that pretty much changed style with each album they released so it's hard to recommend one
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: Agnes on January 22, 2008, 11:01:07 pm
Silent Waters, Elegy, Eclipse and Tuonela are great! whatever song I listen of them, I like it!!

awesome band!

Eclipse is awesome, my fav, although I love Silent Waters too...so...you could start with one of these...I started with Eclipse...and it's been my favourite since  ^_^

Post by: NeMo on January 23, 2008, 04:24:51 pm
the latest :) "Silent Waters"

Haha, I know why you recommended that one... because YOU are on the front CD cover! :lol3:
Sounds promising... :thumbup:  Btw why is it written (Holopainen) under some song tittles? Tuomas? :wOOt:
You will get my comments on it soon, I need some time to digest it... :) And in the meantime, I'll be off topic as usually... :nana:

I don't have time right now to write a detailed concert report

I hope you'll find some time to send me something I asked you... almost a month ago! :ninja: Don't forget that I'm waiting... :-\ I don't know for you, but I wouldn't put that into Top 10 pleasant things one could do... :P C'mon MissSwan, if you send me that I might send you something in return! :innocent: For now, I'll just tell you it's better even than that link "All Tarja's shoes" I posted! :biggrin:

All Tarja's shoes (http://www.angelictarjaturunen.com/tarja_shoes.php)

Esa Holopainen, not Tuomas  :lol:
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: NeMo on January 23, 2008, 05:27:43 pm
Esa Holopainen, not Tuomas  :lol:

Who the hell is that? :blink: :wacko: :blink:
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: MissSwan on January 23, 2008, 08:12:28 pm
errr it's the guitarist and main composer of Amorphis, do you think Holopainen is a unique name or what? and NeMo I don't have any pic of the flag per se, Lasse had some with all of us from that evening if I remember correctly.
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: Mystique on January 23, 2008, 09:04:28 pm
Who the hell is that? :blink: :wacko: :blink:

there is always Google for these things :whistle:
Title: Re: Amorphis
Post by: NeMo on January 24, 2008, 12:52:25 pm
do you think Holopainen is a unique name or what?

And if you saw the name Mozart next to a song don't tell me you would not think the same as I... :fish:

and NeMo I don't have any pic of the flag per se

In that case I'm so sorry that you'll have to wait 9th December 2008 in order to get the present... :nana: But don't worry, it won't be less funny even that... because metal lives forever! :wicking: Metal... now you even got the idea about the present! *surprise, surprise*
;D

there is always Google for these things :whistle:

Actually, I only needed to check the last page of the booklet... it's written there with a pretty big font: ESA HOLOPAINEN - lead guitars :whistle:
But I had just bought the CD and listened to it and read the lyrics about 15min in the train on my way to university, where I immediately went online! :idea: :lol: And I didn't check the last page of the booklet... :sofa:

The album sounds even more promising today! :thumbup: I'm happy I'll have something to enjoy in the days to come even if new Avantasia disappoints me! :afaid: And that CAN happen... those EPs... Lost In Space :-\... it's not that I dislike them but they sound somehow too much "happy", if you know what I want to say (notice I didn't say "gay" :biggrin:). I miss the darker sound of the old Avantasia... the production of guitars and drums reminds me very much to Tarja's album, but Tarja's album sounds darker and I like that... :thumbup:

It sucks Amorphis don't play Brother Moon...it's one of my favourite songs as well...  ¬¬  blah...

@NeMo: I know! I like older songs better too...but nevertheless you shouldn't have booed...that was not very nice  :disgust: I would never EVER do such thing  :innocent:

well actually...hmm...first......I'd start yelling BROTHER MOON! BROTHER MOON!    :biggrin: :biggrin:
And then, if they'd be like...no, we're not playing that...well...then...I MIGHT start booing...  :innocent: :roll:
