Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: Amaranthine on October 04, 2008, 06:42:26 PM: This game is for all of you Nightwish buffs out there. I believe you guys all know how this goes. :p

Tell me if this sentence is true:

"Tuomas' likes include: Movies, books, Disney, traveling, and hiking."

That might be a little too easy. :p

Post by: Amaranthine on October 05, 2008, 01:25:19 AM: Of course the Nightwish expert would join this trivia! :P:

That is correct. Your turn! :D

Post by: action9000 on October 05, 2008, 01:35:22 AM: Well "expert" is debatable! :p :lol:

Let's see here...question...

How many performances has Nightwish performed publically with a live orchestra?

Post by: Amaranthine on October 05, 2008, 02:02:38 AM: I'll just make a guess, I'm having a hard time trying to find information about that for some reason. Probably because I'm tired. :p

I guess...34??? :huh:

Post by: action9000 on October 05, 2008, 02:03:37 AM: Nope, sorry.
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: Amaranthine on December 05, 2008, 01:49:00 AM: Reviving this topic:

14 live performances.
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: action9000 on December 23, 2008, 01:27:59 PM: Oh oops, forgot about this one. :p

Actually according to an interview, Nightwish has never successfully been able to have a live show with a full orchestra, sadly, mainly because touring is so expensive and impractical. :( As a result, live shows just use studio recordings of the orchestral parts playing in the background.

I'll give someone else a turn to throw a question up. Sorry, that was a mean one :p
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: Amaranthine on December 23, 2008, 08:54:47 PM: Wow, that's sad. :cry2 No wonder why their live concerts aren't "too" great. I mean I have heard them and watched them on youtube, but now that all makes sense.

Okay, I'll try just to get this game come along.

What song is this line from?: "They are the last ones to bleed."

Post by: Amaranthine on March 04, 2009, 09:14:21 PM: LB&T is correct!

Your turn!

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on March 04, 2009, 10:05:00 PM: Crud. I know absolutely nothing about Nightwish, I'd only ever heard that one song. Google time!

Before joining Nightwish, Anette Olzon was a member of a tribute band for what palindromic quartet?
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: action9000 on March 17, 2009, 02:41:09 PM: I don't know but the first thing coming to mind with that description, LB&T, is ABBA. Am I on the right track?

Post by: action9000 on August 08, 2009, 02:23:34 PM: Kewl!

Alrighty, let me see......

What is the 2nd longest Nightwish song ever, according to the lengths on the CDs and excluding instrumental-only tracks?
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: Amaranthine on August 12, 2009, 01:56:49 AM: I'm guessing Fantasmic...
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: action9000 on August 15, 2009, 10:40:13 AM: Nope, it's longer than Fantasmic. ;)
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: Mirumoto_Kenjiro on August 25, 2009, 10:13:06 PM: Is it the "Beauty of the Beast?"
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: action9000 on August 25, 2009, 10:26:31 PM: Aye, that it is, at 10:23. ;)
Your turn!
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: Mirumoto_Kenjiro on August 25, 2009, 11:27:27 PM: OK. Here's an easy one:

From 1997 to 1998, Nightwish performed only seven times because three of the band were preoccupied by something else. What were the band members doing?

Post by: Mirumoto_Kenjiro on June 09, 2010, 11:17:40 PM: Should I try another question?
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: The Friendly Sharptooth on July 12, 2010, 02:17:48 AM: Those three members had some important things they had to get done. They chose their actions well. Two of them, Nevalainen and Vuorinen, had an obligation to the military. The other, Turunen, decided to finish up her schooling. Fighting for what you believe in and bettering one's knowledge are more than valid excuses to take a leave of absense.

Post by: Mirumoto_Kenjiro on July 12, 2010, 03:20:10 AM: Your turn then!
Title: Nightwish Trivia
Post by: The Friendly Sharptooth on July 12, 2010, 03:25:10 AM: One of the members had a mother that got this member to play the oboe for eight years. Which member was this?
