Most of the popular singles with the old singer are like that, yes. That's why they were/are a popular band with all the teen metallers.

Try "Bye, Bye Beautiful" and "The Poet And The Pendulum" from the new album. Different singer, way heavier.

It's really not a big deal. If you all want British set lists tagged differently, that's fine by me. In the future, we'll handle the UK like:

band -- city, Scotland -- date
band -- city, England -- date
band -- city, Ireland -- date
band -- city, Wales -- date

I'll handle changing the set lists archive on the back end, just not today.

Nice one bro. Much appreciated.

You'll be needing to add "band -- city, Northern Ireland -- date" too. Not that I've seen many posts for gigs in Belfast, but still... it'll only need one.

Went to the final London show last night. They dropped Dead To The World and added Sacrament Of Wilderness and 7 Days To The Wolves

I did notice 7 Days To The Wolves has been the first song of the encore almost everywhere else on the tour.

Did you catch Pain?

Yes they were somewhat disappointing based on previous, very good experiences. Crowd were very disinterested and it felt a bit flat.

Here's my review and Johan's photos....

The crowd really liked them on Tuesday. It took a couple of songs, but they seemed to get into them.

I could never ever get into Nightwish with Tarja, but I must admit I really dig a good portion of the new album, particularly Poet and the Pendulum.

They're worth seeing just to laugh at their dwarf guitarist.
