Anti hotlinking, most likely. He sees it himself, cause he visited the actual page first. Anyone else gets the tripod image.

A couple of more effective April 1st notes:

(Story is now gone from official website - glad i copied it)
Nightwish announce grand tour finale
04/01/2009


To end their Dark Passion Play world tour and to celebrate its success, Nightwish are planning a spectacular tour finale that will dwarf any heavy metal concert ever seen before.

The exact location is yet to be announced, but it is rumored that the band has chosen a stunning open air stage on water to be the setting for their most Passionate of all Dark Plays. The audience will be at the waterside enjoying a perfect view of the performance.

To bridge the distance between the stage and the fans, the band is preparing some very special attractions. Tuomas will be using wireless transmitters on his keyboards that allow him to drive close to the fans with his new keyboard-boat. During their very special "Sahara" performance, Anette, Marco and Emppu will be riding through the audience on camels. Last but not least, Jukka will finally demonstrate why he is known as "The Incredible Nevalainen": Before "The Escapist", he will be chained to his drumset and -following the footsteps of Houdini- free himself before the end of the song, while playing of course.

Rehearsals and preparations are already in full swing and according to the band's manager Eduardo Pohjolainen, everything looks "megabueno".

More details will be announced on this website shortly. Meanwhile, take a closer look at the teaser poster.


And..

Norther:

01.04.2009. Jari Mäenpää joins Norther, leaves Wintersun..

After a hard search for a new vocalist we are honored to announce that no other than Jari Mäenpää is the new singer/guitarist of Norther. This is totally a natural thing for him to leave Wintersun and join Norther since he has been previously handling vocals in Ensiferum and until now in Wintersun. He told he had enough of Time.. so now he wants to do Time in Norther.. something fresh..again.
We wish the very best for Wintersun finding a new replacement.


All the best,
Norther


You probably have to know the bands and circumstances to understand the second one.

Sounds like something out of an episode of Metalocolypse, except, of course, the stage would create a tsunami that killed the fans.
