    Can she sing?

    I just downloaded a track by FS and all I can say yes!!!

    A clear and classic voice close to Tarja but a copy.

    Can be interesting when she sing old Neightwish songs, beside that I fine with her as the "new" vioce.

    I read somewhere that it was an intentional bastardization of a couple of different languages.

    Definitely!

    After all:

    German for "friend" is pronounced, but not spelled, Froind (it's Freund -- think "Freud"!)

    Similarly, proper Spanish would be "Buenas Noches" and not Buenos Nochas

    (bonus nachos? wink.gif )

    --they're jes' havin' fun!

    The correct translation for friend to German is "Freund".

    Miriya was absolutly right there, but I am not sure what she ment with Freud?

    Do think of Sigmund Freud then`This is only a name without a connection to the word Freund.

     

    Gute Nacht, meine Freunde biggrin.gif

    Ja, mein Freund!

     

    All I was aiming at with the reference to Freud was that most English-speakers who do not know German do still know to pronounce the good doctor's name not as"Frood" but as "Froid"--and if they know that, then they shouldn't be surprised that "Freund" is pronounced "Froind"! smile.gif

    So you're quite right:

    for sound, "Do think of Sigmund Freud"

    for sense, "then`This is only a name without a connection to the word Freund.'"

     

    but if you like your Schiller/Beethoven, you could also think of

    Freude, schoner Gotterfunken! (sorry for lack of umlauts here...) smile.gif

    Ja nu guck,

    somebody who understands me. smile.gif

    How do you speak German, many around here know some words but you seem to be quiet there.

     

    Well, of cause "Ode an die Freude" I love it smile.gif)

     

    Horrido

    The next shows I plan to see are
    Simple Minds, Fish & Midge Ure

    you rock.

    All of them all longtime faves of mine.

    Love the simple Minds since they appeared on the Soundtrack for the movie "Breakfast Club" and the song Belfast Child.

     

    While Fish is one of the best frontman a band could have.

    Too bad that I discovered Marillion after he left and missed his shows since then.

     

    And Midge Ure is simply awesome. This summer I saw him on an open air for free and he played nearly 2 hours and seems to had to much fun doing that show. And anyone who is familar with his Band Ultravox knows what he played that night.

     

    A good way to start the year biggrin.gif

    Sully, if you're new to Hogarth and you like marillion.com, you should really check out Anoraknaphobia and Marbles..  IMO, those albums are much better than .com.  Marillion is an aquired taste, it takes a while to "get it"..  But it's well worth the ride.

    I immediately liked them! I can't remember if Anoraknaphobia is on the DVD my friend gave me, but I know Marbles isn't. I do like Fish, though. Misplaced Childhood is really great.

    Looks like we have a new fan here laugh.gif
