Let's get this out of the way right now, in and of themselves, most of these songs are sub-standard. Wacken 2013, while not the final show of the tour, was near the end and was a chance to show the world at large whether or not their latest lineup change for the best. As if to make their Tarja firing look like some sort of 21 gun salute send off, Annette Olzon was fired in the middle of a tour.in a foreign fucking country (was it for taking the wrong drugs?)! Her replacement was not just any old female singer, but established metal valkyrie Floor Jansen! Unlike Olzon, Floor was near universally welcomed with open arms by the Nightwish faithful, and had even raised the eyebrows of many ex-fans that had long since written them off. They had managed to sustain and maybe even grow their brand name, but real metal fans had long flocked elsewhere. They released two (three if we're being truly honest) albums that had three or four decent riffs but were altogether just a slightly more whimsical version of Evanescence. In 2012 Nightwish seemed to be content to continue to drown in their ocean of mediocre, ball-less Disney amalgamation that they had eroded themselves into in 2003. "You make me forget that I hate that song!" However, there was one line he spoke to a contestant, which, while still kind of hipster-ish and douchey, very much reflects Showtime Storytime. He spent the entire time being his usual bizarre "I'm way cooler and wittier than everybody else thinks I am" self. If you've ever seen any interviews with the guy it went about as well as you expected. On top of this there are two music clips: 'I want my tears back' (Live at Hartwall Arena) and 'Ghost Love Score' (Live in Buenos Aires).One day, Quentin Tarantino was a special guest judge on American Idol. Also, there is a 16-minute NIGHTWISH Table Hockey Tournament, filmed on tour.
The second disc consists of 120-minute tour documentary 'Please Learn The Setlist in 48 Hours', with no short of drama or overall madness. Our darling flying Dutchwoman, Floor Jansen, has been nothing but incredible during her time in Nightwish on this tour, so this is a perfect opportunity to immortalize the current vibe of the band on film! "
This show will be something extra special, since it will be released later this year on DVD/Blu-ray, together with a massive `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013 documentary. "The time has come soon to wrap up the magical & memorable one-and-a-half year `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013! We still have three shows left, one of them being at the legendary Wacken Open Air Metal Festival on the 3rd of August. Mastermind and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen states: The `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2013-2013 visited in 34 countries, consisted of 104 shows with total audience attendance of over 1,5 million fans.Īnd what would be a better way to celebrate the grand finale as to capture the entire show at Wacken Open Air - the world's biggest heavy metal festival - for a live DVD/Blu-ray? The live show in the front of 85 000 screaming metalheads was directed by Ville Lipiäinen, filmed with seventeen cameras and has a total duration of 85 minutes. What better way to conclude the year as to recapture one of its outstanding highlights by revisiting Finnish Symphonic Metal legends NIGHTWISH taking the likewise legendary Wacken Open Air by storm? After being decorated with triple platinum status in Finland as well as gold status in numerous European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, among others) for their most current studio masterpiece »Imaginaerum« and following the highly successful release of their very own fantasy motion picture »Imaginaerum by Nightwish«, the band is closing in its cycle of the `Imaginaerum World Tour´ with a festival triple - Wacken Open Air being the first of those final shows.
