The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

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

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:

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

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."

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?

I don't know but the first thing coming to mind with that description, LB&T, is ABBA.  Am I on the right track?

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?
