I almost went to London two years ago to see Tarot. The sad part was that the Earthshaker Tour crashed and burned while it was still in Germany.

Believe me, if I had the means to do it, I'd do nothing but travel to various cities to see all kinds of bands I love.

Nicolas, webmaster of nightwish.fr and nightwish-world.com met Tuomas and the band at the Paris gigs recently. Today he posted on both aforementioned sites the news that Troy Donockley will be with Nightwish during the rest of the European leg and he will appear also at some of the US shows in May!

Next question will be: at which shows???

That's great news; seeing as Nightwish France has been a longtime friend of OSA, I'm sure if Nicolas gets any news on which shows Troy will be playing, he'll let us know straightaway.

I also heard from John Two-Hawks' webmaster that there's a possibility of him doing something with the band as well, but nothing is confirmed and it pretty much depends on scheduling. He will e-mail me as soon as something comes up, and I'll put it up on the OSA site when I hear anything.

Enigma: Check your e-mails.

Going to the Atlanta, GA show. Quite dissapointed that Troy won't be there to play, but nevertheless, it should be an amazing show. I applaud King Foo for picking amazing sidekick bands. I am now a total Volbeat fan, and can't wait to hear them live. Has anybody been to the venue? Any suggestions as to how early I need to be there to get front row? At the Charlotte, NC show, I came 2 hours early and was the only one there for about 40 minutes, so I am not sure about Atlanta. . .

Thanks, C.

Ok, is anyone on this board going to the Atlanta show?

 

[C.]

No, but please take lots of pictures so we can put them in the new OSA Gallery!

 

[labarum]

Will do.

Me and the Wife will not stop until we get pictures of us with the band! Its the last stop on the tour, so hopefully the band will be in good spirits and take lots of pictures with us.

Breaking news on the OSA site...and we were the first to get it, I'm proud to say!

John Two-Hawks will be performing with the band at the St. Louis and Louisville shows. Confirmed by JTH's webmaster himself.

As I said, I went to the Atlanta show.
It was awesome.
I know I said I would get loads of pictures, but unfortunately due to some assumptions with newly bought rechargable batteries, I was able to get one, very blurry picture of the smoke in the room.
Sadness.
My large review of the show was posted on the main forum.

That's OK, you tried your best. So long as you had a great time.
