WT are avaible in celtic CDs,i never heared that..
my BFF doesn`t even know who is WT...and i don`t want to try because she is very straight when is it about music,like she prefers pop music(happily she hates Hannah Montana,her favorite artists are romanian)my 2nd best friend knows about WT she already heared Ice Queen and The Howling and she said that she likes them,but still not her favorite tyoe of music(she likes pop,but not every kind,she preffers less commercial pop)

(They had one song on the Celtic Circle vol. one. So did NW. )

Yes, most people here like pop. I'm the only person I know who listens to WT.

Me too.My bro and my dad also like them(my dad preffers aspecially sharon`s voice,not the music )and my bro is dissperate with them
in rest i personally don`t know any other WT fan...
(sorry if i`m off-topic what NW songs did appear on that album?)

Sleeping Sun.

It was supposed to be a compilation CD of artists who have Celtic influences. WT and NW were the only metal bands on there.

WOW.and Yes Our farewell and Sleeping Sun really do have a celtic felling.But from WT i`ve chose Mother earth for that album..is more celtic for me

I know, so would I. It's always seemed more Celtic. But maybe they wanted a ballad?

yeah,maybe.. Sleeping Sun is also a ballad,even with that guitar riff on the end

My friend kept playing Angels when I whent to her house, but i hated every minute of it, but finally i had the guts to look them up on YouTube and I fell in love with the music and Sharons voice

Awesome,Angels bring me beautiful memories (LOL i used ANGELS and MEMORIES in the same phrase:P)

lol you are crazy chistina xD

yeah i am

Well, what comes to me... It was October 2005 when a friend of mine played me Bittersweet. I loved this song from the first seconds! Then I was introduced to Pale and Angels. And... I was hooked! And now I am fan til the end of time!

^Nice story,Gosia,Bittersweet as a first song..awesome!Is it still one of your favorites?

^Well, yes it's very important one for me. So beautiful, so emotional.. And I still have a sentiment to that song, as it was the first one..

^I really love it too..it`s such a sad and beautiful ballad .I have that feeling with Angels as first song

Well, I always like to tell my story because I found out about them totally by accident. It was October 28, 2008 and I was just on YouTube checking out Nightwish music videos (at that time, Nightwish was my favorite band). I was there for about a good hour or so, when I saw a title to the side that said "Angels", and I, thinking that it was some other Nightwish music video, clicked on it! So I'm there staring at the first video and I see the first 10 seconds and I was like "this is NOT Nightwish" so right when I was about to click the "BACK" button, something suddenly catches my ears' attention! I hear this totally angelic voice come from this woman's mouth. I listened to the first couple of lyrics, and I'm so stunned and taken aback from her totally amazing voice, that I'm left mouth wide-open just staring at the video, not being able to believe what my ears have just heard! I was in a state of hypnosis for just a couple of seconds, frozen, and it felt like time had just stopped (I swear to you that I'm not exaggerating or making this up; that's EXACTLY how I felt!). So, as you can probably picture it, I'm on my computer chair, face just inches away from my computer screen, with my eyes bulging out and my mouth just dropped wide open, and my ears just a few inches away from my speakers, LOL! So I'm listening to the rest of the song, right, and I keep thinking to myself "Holy Shit...what a voice...am I in Heaven...is this for real...holy shit...is she an angel or what...am I dead...is she even human...what the fuck...I think I'm in love...how come I never heard of them...holy shit...where the fuck have I been this whole time.." (I'm sorry, but I think I must have said "Holy Shit" about 20 times or so because I was so impressed) So after finally regaining back consciousness (LOL), THEN I realized that not only did this woman have an out-of-this-world voice, I realized how hot and pretty she was as well. She looked so stunning and beautiful...she literally looked like an angel! So the music video ended and I stayed for another minute, staring at my screen, with amazement! I had just witnessed something spectacular, and my eyes and ears still couldn't believe it! I think I was in shock or something! So from there on, I was so impressed with the singer and the rest of the members, that I IMMEDIATELY started doing some research on them: Who they were, where were they from, who are the members, what other music videos and songs do they have, are they known internationally, what's their background, do they tour, etc., etc., just wanting to know as much about them as possible. This whole "research" thingy lasted about two weeks. So, I finally knew who the members were: Sharon, Robert, Ruud, Jeroen, Martijn, and Stephen. From that day, I kept on going on to YouTube watching all of their music videos on a daily basis, about 3-5 times a day...EACH! I was so hooked on them! I got so hooked on to them that I immediately downloaded most of their songs in about a week, got over 500+ pictures of the band (mostly Sharon pics) in a 2-week period, and I made my YouTube channel page all related to Within Temptation (my bg, my playlist, my favorites, my headline, etc.) So after settling in for two weeks, I went to comment on almost all their videos and started to say how awesome they were, etc. and kept expanding my Within Temptation playlist and favorites. So yeah...there's my story!

p.s. Sorry it was too long... :bom:

it all began in the summer of 2001. I was watching Wet&Wild on TMF and I saw Ice Queen (that cheap version) and I fell in love with that song, the day after I bought the album 'Mother Earth' and now i'm here, still loving WT

@Roberto.I totally love your description,and how you managed to say all that beautiful words.You just gtan A+ from me

@Emmy:2001?Wow,I guess you are the "oldest" WT fan on this board.I was only 5 in 2001

Thanks a lot Cristina!
