Hay un debate que dura desde hace ya algunos días en diferentes foros: el rapero francíés Tunisiano ha sacado un nuevo single de su album "Le Regard Des Gens", titulado "Je Porte Plainte". El single se ha enviado a las radios y el videoclip a las cadenas de televisión. Hasta aquí, nada anormal. Pero al escuchar el tema, se puede reconocer que toda la canción reposa sobre "Ever Dream" de... Nightwish.La gran pregunta era saber cómo Tunisiano había recibido la autorización del grupo: la respuesta es simple y se nos ha dado por Spinefarm Records esta mañana: ¡no hay ninguna autorización! Se trata de un reestreno "ilegal" de la melodía de Ever Dream. Spinefarm ya ha contactado con el sello con la finalidad de hacer valer los derechos de autor, eso que se volverá casi irónico con la escucha de la letra de "Je Porte Plainte"....Es una pena, la empresa asegura que habría sido bien divertido si hubiese estado dentro de las normas, y se hubiesen evitado los alborotados debates y las acusaciones metal/rap...
Metal Til Death conducted an interview with NIGHTWISH mainman/keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen on September 26, 2008 at the Rams Head Live! in Baltimore, Maryland. Watch the chat in two parts below.NIGHTWISH cancelled the last four shows of its North American tour — September 23 in Knoxville, Tennessee; September 24 in Charlotte, North Carolina; September 26 in Baltimore, Maryland; and September 27 in New York City — due to singer Anette Olzon's "sudden severe illness," according to a posting on the band's web site. "This was one of the best tour legs we have ever done, and it's a pity it has to end this way, but there's no competing with the forces of nature," the group said. "There is nothing anybody can do about these things. We want to thank all the fans for all the sympathy, you guys have been so understanding, it's heartwarming. Thank you! We will do our best to make up for the cancelled shows sometime in the future." NIGHTWISH released a digital-only collection of demos and B-sides titled "The Sound of Nightwish Reborn", on September 2. This release, which clocks in at nearly 70 minutes of music, retains "must-have" status for all NIGHTWISH diehards, since it includes a bevy of exclusive material, such as demo versions of songs from the "Dark Passion Play" sessions that were recorded prior to singer Anette Olzon joining the band and that feature Marco Tapani Hietala handling the vocals, as well as B-sides.Part 1:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj9wUtThBxMpart 2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9CqboTNdTs

El pasado 10 de Noviembre en el concierto que Nightwish dió en Belo Horizonte, Brasil, la banda se encontraba interpretando The Poet and the Pendulum cuando repentinamente Anette se levantó y se retiró del escenario en lágrimas, la canción la terminó de cantar Marco, luego tocaron un par de temas más y decidieron dar por terminado el concierto, no sin antes explicar que Anette estaba pasando por una fase difícil en su vida y que se encontraba bastante triste.Lo que está sucediíéndole solo la banda lo sabe, porque primero cancelaron varios conciertos que dijeron eran por motivos de la mala salud de Anette, y según el comunicado oficial, ellos nos decían que no pueden competir con las fuerzas de la naturaleza, y que además nadie puede hacer nada al respecto por lo que viene sucediendo. Una pena realmente.
BREAKDOWN!Nightwish's gig in Belo Horizonte of Brazilia on monday evening finished dramatically. The singer Anette Olzon had to leave the stage crying in the middle of the song The Poet and the Pendulum.Olzon shook her head with a teary face and tried to sing the emotional song to its end. The situation got yet overwhelming. Olzon breathe to the microphone: â€Please stop†and left the stage.The bass player of the band, Marco Hietala, finished the song without Olzon.After the song Hietala told the audience Nightwish was going to have to leave the gig unfinished.â€She is having quite serious troublesâ€, Hietala explained to the audience.Inhaled smokeAccording to the message of the producer of the Belo Horizonte's gig, which was published in a Brazilian Nightwish-fansite, what happened was an accident.The text says that Olzon would have inhaled the smoke from the fog machine while sitting on the edge of the stage. Because of the smoke her airways choked and she started to feel hard pain which restrained her from talking and singing.According to the Brazilian fan site of Nightwish the South American tour is going to continue as agreed.The fateful wordsOn the discussion forums there has been hesitated that the breakdown would be a result of Olzon's personal matters. The rumours say that the lyrics of The Poet and the Pendulum, during which the singer had to stop, (Be still, my son, youre home – In the end I will always love you) would also refer to it.As one explanation fot the Olzon's collapse has been hesitated that she has lost the custody of her seven year old son. Iltalehti reached Olzon's ex-husband Fredrik Blyckert, who didn't want to comment if the happening had something to do with the custody matters.He also didn't want to make guesses about the reason for Olzon's crying.- I haven't been in touch with her, so I know absolutely nothing about the matter, Blyckert contented himself with commenting.
"Estoy aquí para explicar que sucedió con Anette el lunes. Recibimos información oficial de que el humo fue el problema y Anette se sintió muy presionada para dar un gran concierto, y ella abandonó el escenario llorando. Un amigo de Paradise Seekers nos dijo que íéso era cierto. Anette tuvo algunos problemas con el humo y se estaba sintiendo presionada porque quería dar los mejores conciertos en Brasil (los chicos dijeron que Brasil era su país favorito para actuar), ella abandonó el escenario. Toda la información sobre Anette de la nota oficial es cierta".
Desde que me uní a NW, yo estaba al tanto de la responsabilidad que significaba y de las cosas difíciles que tenía que enfrentar. Siempre tratíé de hacer lo mejor que pude para estar a la altura de la confianza depositada en mi. Ser una vocalista es de por sí un trabajo duro. Mucho más si se es la vocalista de NW ya que posee mayor complejidad, dado el alto nivel tíécnico de la banda, tambiíén debido a la historia de la banda, así que cuando me uní ellos ya estaban en el mejor momento se sus carreras. A pesar de este honor, cuando ingresas a una banda, la relación con la audiencia puede ser difícil ya que no quieres decepcionar a nadie. Debido a esto, nada de lo que pueda decir ahora puede expresar mi tristeza y frustración por no haber podido terminar el show en BH (Belo Horizonte).En el escenario, la excesiva cantidad de humo estaba irritando mis cuerdas vocales y cuando comencíé a sentir que mi voz se iba me desesperíé y tuve que salir del escenario. La banda trató de hacer algo de tiempo para que me pudiera recuperar pero yo ya no podía volver ya que no podía cantar. No podía entender porque mi voz se había ido. Creo que mi quiebre emocional se debe a que no quería decepcionar a nadie ya que habíamos planeado el DPP tour por Latinoamíérica como algo grandioso. Yo sabía que la banda siempre ha tenido una buena relación con Brasil y siempre describían a la audiencia brasileña como la más entusiasta y receptiva del mundo.Me gustaría disculparme con todo mi corazón con todos aquellos que estuvieron en el show de BH, quienes, de algún modo, sienten que los decepcioníé y por hacer que la gente de Brasil se sienta de esta manera, ustedes han sido muy buenos con la banda. Espero que me den otra oportunidad de terminar lo que no pude hacer esta vez de la manera que me hubiera gustado, que es lo más importante de mi vida: cantar!Anette Olzon.â€
Speaking to O Povo Online about the incident, Tuomas said, "[Anette] freaked out because she couldn't handle the different mannerisms of the fans here. There were a lot of people screaming the former vocalist's name, making obscene gestures (with the middle finger). Normally she can shake that stuff off, she has good self-esteem, but it's been hard to deal with the fans and the critics. I guess it was a sudden breakdown; she just... lost her mind for a second. It's kind of scary, and we all feel for her and understand what she is going through. We hope she can put her mind at ease and make the rest of the shows. So far it's been fine; she's feeling much better."
