Ok so as I promissed here is my Artmania Festival(Sibiu,Romania) ReviewI write it for the 2nd time as the last window closed So I've travelled 320 km and I've arrived 3 hours before the concert.At 19.00 p.m.7.00 in UK and 10.00 a.m in US)the first band started to play .It was called Subscribe,a hardcore band which were AWFUL.Only screaming,and bad screaming ugh.I'm happy they played only 55 minutes!But they were good for headbaging though The 2nd band was PAIN.I have known them for a few months thanks to their duet with Anette(Follow Me).They were awesome and Peter's voice is fantastic!At a certain moment he said "Now we will slow down a bit and play a song which requires a woman" and I knew it was Anette,and at that moment Anette came on the stage!I nearly faintted ad I start to cry of joy After a huge break during almost 40 minutes,Jukka came on stage followed by the other members and started to play "7 days to the wolves"I wsas in the 8th-10th row exactly in the front of Tuomas .Both Anette and Marco sand wonderful,and Emppu's solo was truly amazing.Then they slowed down a bit with "Ever Dream"one of my ultimate favorite songs ever.Anette sounded so sweet and beautiful .Then "The Siren:.Marco's parts were the best,but Anette sounded good too aspeciall on the "yeaaaaaaaaahs".Then here comes my favorite part of the whole show:"Romaticide" my favorite old song, sung by Anette.Hail Emppu's solo :^_^: .After Anette and Marco's duet the pyros started and even though I was about 6m from the stage I could feel the warmth of the pyros.Imagine if I was in the 1st row,I would've probably got burnt "Wishmaster" was another spotlight of the show,althought it's one of my most overrated NW songs,and I even sang it too along with the audience ."The Poet And The Pendulum" started and I started to cry and scream.This song is one of the most emotional NW songs and that's why I reactioned like this .The song flew so quick like 5 minutes instead of 14.At the end of the part "Dark Passion Play" the lights went down and thousands of red ribbons flew from the stage.I even caugfht one and tied it on my wrist "Dead Boy's Poem" was another of my wishes and it come true.I totally love Emppu's guitar work there . "Sahara"my 2nd favorite song from DPP!I just have to love it for the HEPs .Everyone done them correctly except some few "Anette haters" which shouted :"We want SUSCRIBE!" or "F*ck you" but Anette ignored them and smiled..in my direction (Dunno if she looked at me,but it was my direction " "Amaranth"The song that got me into NW (It wasn`t my first...).It sounded just flawless,and Anette hit her G5 nearly the end.She has a huge range about 4 octaves and she must be proud with that. "Nemo":My first Nightwish song(Heared it first time in 2006 if I haven't lost my memory).Emppu's solo was the highlight this time too and he threw his pick on the crowd and everyone jumped to catch it . And with "Escapist" my life is complete.My top 3 favorite songs from Dark Passion Play were performed(TPATP,Sahara and Escapist),it sounded just beautiful and Anette hit every single note "Dark Chest Of Wonders"-Amazing pyros and fireworkd indeed!But the best moment was...when Tuomas looked at me STRAIGHT in the face and sent me kiss through the air and I was like "OMS am I dreaming? " but no,he kept looking at me a few seconds and I was: After that the band left the stage..but came back with jokes.Anette said"You guys are singing so loud and I can't even hear myself" and at that moment someone threw a toy duck on the stage and Anette picked it and put it on her head. and Marco repeated "mycocksuckingface"about 10 times and it took my a while to undetrstand what he was saying The setlist ended with "Wish I Had An Angel".I have no words to discribe that performance,it left my face like this: :love: . After it Marco drank a whole bottle of vodka and left the stage along with thew band memebers. Unfortunetely I haven't met the band but Anette already replied to me on her blog that there won't be any signing sessions.But there were some lucky stalkers that had enough luck to catch an autograph .But I wasn't dissapointed at all because I met Mariangela Demurtas from Tristania!! and I said "Hello Mary" and she said "Hello" but at that moment she left with her bodyguard.But she had such a beautiful smile .But what was she doing there?I mean Tristania played a day before... And I recently found that Marco got seriously drunk after the concert,poor him And this was my first metal experience ever Unfortunelety i haven't got the setlist so i'm not sure whch is the exact order of the songs but I did my best to write what I remember,and when i'll know the order i`ll write it .I havent' upload pick on my computer yet,sorry If anyone wants some videos please let me know
