Nightwish: newcomer 
Riight.
Cheers
Who!? Never heard of them. They must be fairly new 
nightwish sucks!!!
a) Nightwish rule
i went to the golden gods and i didnt see nicko
no matter if they suck or not, Nightwish are definitivly not newcomers!
They've only just emerged as mainstream. When I say mainstream I mean, played on Kerrang and the other crappy music channels. Obviously a load of crap. Slipknot, best live band? That made me laugh.
This one however wasn't. Shredder Award: Herman Li, Dragonforce
Hell yes.
Slipknot? best live act? ![lol[1].gif](style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/lol[1].gif)

That's so true. How many albums do they have and how many years they have made music? Im not sure, but didn't they start in the early 90´s? That surely should have something to say against the newcomer title.
Edit: Typo
But with the term "newcomer" I do believe they mean new to the mainstream part of the music-industry, not newcomers as a band as very few bands become popular when they have just started playing together. (With exceptions of certain popular over night pop-wannabe-punk bands like Good Charlotte, Busted etc.)

Hell yes.
