He "brought" his good friend Kai Hahto to play drums. Kai is also a beast like Jukka behind the drums. Jukka is more of a "show man" and Kai is the "human metronome". If you listen band Wintersun and songs like: "Sons of Winter and Stars, Time etc. you will see. Or NW Live in Buenos Aires: "The Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean".

    "Alpen" is how the Alps are called in Austria, Bavaria or Switzerland. "Alpine Glow" (Summits Glow) would be a possible translation of the song's title refering to beautiful reflections on glacier summits at dawn/dusk - for marketing purposes, nowadays similar terms are also used for party zones in the mountains when people were lit by alcohol, etc. P.S. got the impression that your recording of that track has already been a few weeks ago, hasn't it ?

    OUTSTANDING. Watching Nightwish in the AM first thing is never a bad thing. After countless Thamesmen reactions I failed to make the connection to either George's remarkable resemblance to Troy Donockley, or Nightwish has been ripping off James Bond. This is an all English thing, isn't it? My recommendation for you is to stick with this concert and check out My Walden. Troy delivers the most wonderful short Thank You to his hometown fans during his first appearance ever at Wembley. Guaranteed to warm the rain soaked hearts of a couple of Brits.

    No, it was not raining! It was very nice temperate weather. I was in the Wembley Hilton after a horrific British Airways flight from Amsterdam and I went out to explore after checking in. Imagine my surprise at seeing Emppu outside smoking with some of the crew! The following day I had breakfast next to their (German) drum tech, saw Jukka Nevalainen (the original drummer who had to quit because of insomnia, but who became their CFO) and had an "After you. No, after you experience" with Tuomas Holopainen leaving the elevator. I am still kicking myself for not going to the hotel bar after the concert because apparently many interesting things were said according to the sadly defunct Nightwish forum

This had nothing to do with the band who where just great as always, but with the people in front of me talking over the beginning of TGSOE, completely ruining the introduction. I called them out, and they said sorry, but went on. I seriously considerd emptying my waterbottle over their heads after the finale.

    Another fun reaction to a real feel-good song. Regarding the many choices in terms of continuing discovering the band, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you feel like doing something you should just do it. There are so many great songs left (in my opinion the best are yet to come) so you're not likely to run into any duds.
    As people have undoubtedly already said, I would just recommend that when you get to the two longer, epic songs (The Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth) you should read up a little bit on what they are about. I do think they come alive even more when knowing the subject material, particularly the former one as it's very emotionally driven.

There is something just a little bit "off" about the sound of the song in this video. Not sure what it is, but this was not 100% in tune. Maybe it's just me?...but I thought you should know. And George could definitely sneak backstage at a Nightwish show. Say hello to Troy in LA, he might enjoy seeing his long lost cousin. Also, I believe Alpenglow has something to do with the colorful sight of the sun lighting up the mountains at sunset? My light show is any time Nightwish and Floor Jansen take the stage.
