There was no topic about this great Dutch band, so, here it is.
I love this band, I have the 3 albums and love them, specially "Mother Earth" and "The Silent Force" , the lyrical content, the music itself and the beautiful Sharon's voice make this band unique. Now I'm looking forward to get last DVD.
So, welcome to the thread!

I guess, wether you like Sharon's vocals or their songs is pretty much down to personal taste. I went to see them yesterday in Munich and had a wonderful evening. I have underestimated them for a long time and my eyes were opened last night. Her voice has matured over the years and has become more pleasant for me. I like her best, when she sings fairly low or very high. The in between stuff is not, what she does best, I think. However, what draws my utmost respect is the dedication shown on stage not only by Sharon, but the whole band. They did their best to give the audience a good time and it paid off. The songs from the new album are even heavier, when played live and I enjoyed the mix of old and new stuff in the setlist. I like especially the heavier and more bombastic songs, both old and new. To call them "Pop" is in my opinion just evil propaganda with no substance. After I saw the joy of this fairly large crowd yesterday, I'd agree if you call them popular metal, though ... and yes, that woman is lovely

04.10.2007 - 22:45 Written by Elodie Artour on 03.10.2007 at 21:30 That's nice to hear. They presented the new stuff in a fairly heavy way and it was just fun to be there. I hope you'll make it to one of their shows one fine day. I don't know a lot about their past gigs, but I got the impression they will try to include more new countries in their tour plans in the future.

Their show last night in London was wonderful!!! i didn't think the songs from 'The Heart Of Everything' were that good when being played live (they played the whole 'The Heart...' album except 'Final Destination'), but the most impressive thing to me is to see how great is Sharon's voice, she sang 19 songs but until the end her voice was still perfect ! Moreover, they even played some old classics such as 'Restless' (acoustic version), 'The Other Half Of Me' (Robert did the grunts part in this song! ) and my personal fav 'Deceiver Of Fools'. Well, all in all i have nothing to complain about the concert , except for the fact that i don't like the opening band- 69 Eyes And here is the setlist : 1. Jillian 2. The Howling 3. Stand My Ground 4. The Cross 5. What Have You Done 6. Hand Of Sorrow 7. The Heart Of Everything 8. Forgiven 9. Restless (acoustic) 10. Our Solemn Hour 11. The Other Half Of Me 12. Angels 13. Mother Earth 14. Frozen 15. Jane Doe 16. The Truth Beneath The Rose 17. Deceiver Of Fools 18. All I Need 19. Ice Queen

The Heart Of Everything was such a good album indeed, I may didn't like it at first, but after giving that a break and get back, it is just so good, I like Hand of Sorrow so much, especially the solo part it was just amazing... the complex sound mixing in Stand My Ground is so successfull, and I enjoy this kind of songs really... Haven't checked a concept or any trivia about Our Solemn Hour, anyone?

I had the chance to get on a picture with them, but I didnt want to. they gave me autographs as well, everybody got them at that "show" was the fanclub meeting... my ex girlfriend talked me into this to go there... pretty funny when I look back at it that I was going there with a friend with 100s of kids screaming and shouting and crying because they saw WT live and me and my friend just stood there, drinking beer and waiting till its over

Account deleted Written by Bitch Boy on 09.01.2008 at 22:43 yeah that song really kicked ass! But Sharon must have been a bit nervous at the beginning as she ended up singing Our Solemn Hour instead of Jillian , however after a little pause she came back to Jillian

I used to be able to stand these guys, but its the same with every gothic female fronted band, you can only take so much before you realize its really not that great, but thats just my opinion

@MaidenVarius: that's a fair opinion. I still like them even though not as much as I used to. I don't listen to a complete album any longer...now it's just a single song once in a while...but they're still great in my book
