Piccola intervista video ad Anette a questo link.
Nuovo articolo di giornale con relativa intervista a questo link, la cover del magazine e di seguito  la traduzione in lingua inglese.

“The Mother who is becoming a bigger and bigger star”

She went from a baking biscuits supermum home in Påarp to be a rockstar in front of thousands fans. For about 18 months has Anette Olzon toured with Nightwish.

It wasn’t an easy task to replace Tarja Turunen, Nightwish frontsinger for five years (Eh, okay research please! It’s 9 years!). The expectations were sky high when Anette Olzon was presented as the new Nightwish singer.
- When thousands of people have payed money to see me, I want to do a good job. I’m very self critical and even if the crowd enjoys the shows, I still have a hard time to feel pleased if not everything went perfect.
The last months she has enjoyed her time off and being on vacation for the first time in a very long time. The time has she spent with being a mother to her son. It has been alot of family life in the house in Påarp. Since a couple of days ago she’s back on tour. An amount of 30 shows is left of the bands two year old tour.
-It’s always hard to leave home. But now I can see a end of the tunnel this time. This time my son wasn’t either so sad to see me leave. I think he’s starting to understand that this is my job now. What I’m afraid of is that he’s going to be angry with me later and wonder why I’m not like the other mothers.

The first year was the hardest for the band. Anette had the worst time because she had to convince the fans that she was a proper replacement.
The first test already came after a few months when Nightwish sixth album “Dark Passion Play” was released. The album had been recorded in biggest secretive spirit and the only track that the fans had heard her with was “Amaranth” which had been released a month earlier. Except for a couple of mean comments was the reception positive. The band won four catagories at the Emmaa Gaala, for example “Best band” and “Best album”.
-It was an incredible relief. Nightwish are heroes in Finland and it was the finnish fans reaction I was most anxious about.

She still remember the first days media chaos. Photographers from Finlands biggest evening post was hiding in the bushes outside the house in Påarp and a suprised Anette found pictures of her cat in the finnish magazines.
- It isn’t possible to prepare for what is going to happen when you accept this type of job. It really as far away from office work as you can come.

When she’s free the first thing she miss is the band collegues.
- We have toured together for so long now. I think that Nightwish has becomed much more of a group since I arrived, and I have gotten used to to have the boys around me even though we don’t spend time together all the time. They have their interests and I mine, shopping for example I have to do by myself. They rather want to play poker in the tourbus.
It has taken time to grow into the role as a rockstar. Nightwish has hundred of thousands of fans all over the world. The biggest hysteria is in South America where the bands latest live DVD “Made In Hong Kong” is recorded.
In that country the hotel staff is knocking on your door in the middle of the night asking for autographs, and the fans are waiting outside the gotel until four in the morning.
- It was very hard in the beginning, I almost got panic attacks. Then I could run away and answer grumpily when I wanted to be alone. I still don’t like when the fans come forward and pinch my cheeks, but I have learned how to handle it. And I understand the fans. They get to meet their biggest idols and of course they get a bit crazy then.

In a cut from the live dvd where the five band members wait to enter the stage, is the enormous pressure noticable.
- It’s hard to describe the feeling of how to stand there, its both nervous and filled with excitement. When the public later sing along at the concert they almost sing louder than me.
When she comes back to Sweden in August she doesn’t live in Påarp any longer. The house is on sale and she has already bought an apartment in Helsingborg.
- I’m going to begin to move in during the tour, which means that I’m going to live with unhanged curtains for moths before I’m able to settle in.

*Anette Olzon about…

…tourlife
“You know where you’re going but still not in the same time, and suddenly someone comes and say that you’re having an interview about a half hour. I have been forced to relase a bit of my need to always be in control.

…the youtube video where she crying leaves the stage:
“It was a small stage and when I entered it I got the smoke machine in my face. I easily get dry mucous membrane and if I get smoke on my vocal chords I in the end loose my voice. When I started to sing I noticed I couldn’t take certain notes. We had toured for months in a row, everybody was tired, and I just felt I couldn’t do it.

…next step with Nightwish:
“In the autumn I’m going to perform by myself, and there won’t be so much Nightwish then, but in the spring 2010 we have booked the studio.

Gallery Update

Posted By Silvershine on March 15th, 2009

Come forse avrete notato, ci sono state alcune modifiche alla gallery: intanto le foto in ogni album sono state drasticamente ridotte (la causa è lo scarso spazio sul server, non se ne riusciva più ad uppare) e così abbiamo scelto di lasciare solo le più belle e rappresentative di ogni concerto. Inoltre, ho approfittato del fatto di avere di nuovo spazio a disposizione per aggiungere parecchi nuovi album. Le foto aggiunte vengono dai seguenti concerti (tutti dell’anno 2008):

Leipzig - 23 febbraio
Worcester - 30 agosto
New Orleans - 20 settembre
Curitiba - 5 novembre
Sao Paulo - 7 e 8 novembre
Belo Horizonte - 10 novembre
Brasilia - 11 novembre
Recife - 16 novembre
Rio de Janeiro - 19 novembre

E il tour ricomincia!

Posted By Silvershine on March 12th, 2009

Ieri sera è cominciata l’ultima parte di questo lunghissimo tour dei Nightwish, con un concerto a Londra. Forse voi non ci crederete, ma questa è stata la scaletta:

1). 7 Days to The Wolves
2). Dead to the World
3).The Siren
4). Amaranth
5). Romanticide
6). Dead Boy’s Poem (with the ending cut)
7). The Poet And The Pendulum
8 ). Nemo
9). Sahara
10). The Islander
11). The Escapist
12). Dark Chest of Wonders
Encore
13). Ghost Love Score
14). Wish I Had an Angel

Esattamente, Romanticide, Dead Boy’s Poem, The Escapist e GHOST LOVE SCORE! Decisamente incredibile e imprevedibile! Cominciano già a comparire i primi video su Youtube, ma la qualità è davvero pessima… Ma siamo sicuri che Anette ha fatto davvero un ottimo lavoro con queste canzoni. E aspettiamo ansiosamente il 30 e 31 marzo per vederle dal vivo noi stessi (o meglio, voi che ci andate ;) )

Ecco le prime foto della serata: Nightwish @ Brixton Academy

Buona visione a tutti delle foto e degli eventuali video che riuscirete a trovare con una qualità discreta!

[Video] Un assaggio del prossimo tour!

Posted By Silvershine on March 8th, 2009

Come tutti voi fan affezionati saprete, tra soli tre giorni ricomincerà l’ultimo pezzo del tour lungo due anni dei Nightwish con la nostra amata Anette. Ecco qui un video di una training session dove i Nightwish suonano Amaranth.

Amaranth - Training Session

Si notano delle piccole modifiche alla canzone da parte di Anette, e lei stessa sembra anche migliorata dall’ultima volta che l’abbiamo sentita. Pare che abbia usato bene questi mesi di pausa… Quindi viene spontaneo chiedersi: che sorprese hanno in serbo per noi i Nightwish per questi loro ultimi show prima di dedicarsi completamente al prossimo album?
