SHERIFF MCCOY, The Legend of Andy McCoy from Hanoi Rocks "My dad beat my mom, my mom beat my big brother, my big brother beat me, I beat my sister, my sister beat the dog, the dog beat the cat, the cat beat the hamster, and the hamster beat whatever bugs he could find. That was our family's version of the natural order." |

ONCE UPON A NIGHTWISH: The Official Biography 1996-2006 by Mape Ollila |
Hailing from the tiny hamlet of Kitee, Finland (pop.
10,000) Nightwish has captivated the world’s imagination with magical million-selling releases like Once, Century Child, and Wishmaster. Their saga is a heavy metal fable as dramatic and tumultuous as the band’s epic symphonic music. In these details and confessions, a vivid and painfully honest portrait of a musical dream emerges—and tensions swell as a split with original singer Tarja Turunen becomes inevitable. ”Worth the wait”— Dave Ling, Classic Rock UK “The Nightwish story offers up a spectacular dramatic arc, and Mape Ollila grabs it with both hands.”—Jarkko Jokelainen, Helsingin Sangomat |
