lmao why do you sound so familiar?

Nightwish has 5 members and Lacuna Coil has 6. That's small right [/smartass]

Anyways, I think that the reason that Nightwish and Lacuna Coil are in this forum is because they do have a rather small following in the United States. You could mention KoRn or Slipknot to anyone and regardless of their scene that person will at least have heard of them. Nightwish and LC are another story.

I'll have to disagree. Most LC and Nightwish fans are Gothic, here in the USA. 95% of all Gothics have heard of both bands. Have you ever gone to a LC or Nightwish concert? They're sure as hell not a small band. The people didn't chose to make these bands not mainstream, it was the bands that decided not to become mainstream. Korn and Slipknot are mainstream, that's the difference. That does not, however, make Nightwish or LC Indie or "small." They've been out for many many years, which throws out the "Indie" option. The "small" option, sure, talk to some Britney Spear fans and they'll say, "who?" but talk to some REAL Metal fans, and they'll know exactly who the bands are.

Not all Nightwish and Lacuna Coil fans are goth Achually most of them are not. And this may not apply for Lacuna Coil, but Nightwish is certanly small in the US. Sure they are huge in europe and play sold out gigs for tousands of people, but the places they are going to play on their upcoming, first US tour is small. I think 100-200 people clubs, and I doubt they're even gonna sell out. And this forum is not for unsigned/upcoming bands only. Larger established bands who isnt well known to a lot of people is posted about here too.

Agreeing with FallenVanishing and N_girl - Lacuna Coil and Nightwish aren't big here, they're GETTING to be known little by little, but they still have a ways to go. Out of everyone I've talked to, I've only met one other person who have heard of LC, and I still have yet to meet someone who has heard of Nightwish where I live.

4 posts and already so worried about a thing no body needs to worry about?

</sarcastic>

c'mon there Cpt falcon...
it's your band!

hello boys and girls, it's been a while... update time!

Oh awesome, thanks for sharing the site.

LC and Nightwish fans are not Gothic. And in the USA they are very much and indie and small time bands. Like some others have said. But LC is going on some big tours so little by little they may become really big in the states. But Nightwish is really small in the USA and it may be a long time before they become big. Though they may not want to be that big in the US.
