Malcador Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I stopped listening to them after Tarja left. Floor is good though. 5:02 onwards makes me sad Criss Oliva died. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

kirottu Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 I don't think any music video shows "love" better than this. I admit it is a really narrow category but still.... This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Agiel Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Sadly I just learned that Warrel Dane, vocalist of former Nevermore, has died of a heart attack last week. RIP Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling

Azdeus Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Watching the Nightwish concert from Denver that Elize Ryd & Alissa White-Gluz covered for Anette Olzon with about 1 hours preptime. I'm pretty impressed that they do the songs better than Anette did, in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH33rNy33iU Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.
