Kaikki, Apocalyptica, Sonata Arctica, Lost Society,......

I'd definitely love to see a Sonata Arctica vid, also Moonsorrow would be excellent.

Sonata Arctica and give the accurate reason Jani left. I know you guys know why he actually left and that Tony sung on Jani's solo album.

@@NeeceLoneWolf we might have to dig that up for you then. :D

Thank you for this very good bullet point journey.

I really can't say if he's a genius or not, I'm not a musician, but he does things I love to ear !

Same.

Changed my view of what music could be

Same

Exactly. Just commented the same.😅

What do you mean? Troy is filling in for Marko's vocals on the current tour.

​@@nordic2617 i ve to say it s not the same, i agree with per norberg there

@@gyaltsennyxs4076 Literally was to a live show 2 days ago and I have to say he sounded good

Troy isn’t bad, but Marko is another lead vocalist himself for all intents and purposes. He could easily have been a frontman for his own band. He’s probably someone who can’t be replaced.

​@@nordic2617interesting guy with his pipes, but he should keep his mouth shut.

No, Marko will not perform with Tarja but being at the same place (At Savonlinna) for he own show. This is what Marko said in an interview where this question was asked. He added that the organizers advertise in their own way. However, the ad does not refer to a joint gig. 😊 If I missunderstood your meaning, Im sorry and pls correct me 😉

@@liinukka3109 They meant that Tarja and Marko just preformed together basically they sang the song Ave Maria together

@@liinukka3109 🙂 No need for correction. I can definitely see promoters and advertisers wording it to make fans think Tarja & Marko will be on stage together. Well, at least we can all watch that Christmas 2017 video of them singing on stage together and hugging at the end. That was really nice. 🤘❤🤘

@@MiguelLopez-is9te Don't worry they will perform something together, maybe one or two songs. Marko didn't close the door to that.

@@andresweiland3714 🤘😎🤘 SWEET!

2005!:) Hello!:)

Same here, i thought it was going to be some news. But it was just a memory lane.

Well without Tarja, Marko and Jukka seems something else, even Tuomas is the heart, without heart no one can lives, but without other parts you are something else. On my opinion of course.

@@andresweiland3714 Nightwish has steadfastly remained Nightwish through the loss of Tarja, and through the loss of Jukka. The loss of Marko is too new to properly judge. They are soldiering on, so we'll see :)

@@PlacidDragon Well, is my opinion I put clear that are just how I feel it, but I saw the virtual concert, where Floor put out her best effort, and some live shows, and it sounds to me other band, no magic at all. For example too far from Wacken 2013 and of course from Tarja's era. I hope they find they way to recover some magic with the new album. Let's see as you said.

@@andresweiland3714 Tarja was a big part of Nightwish. Even tuomas has admitted that. In fact, in the early years he claimed she was the inspiration behind the entire concept. Tuomas original idea was a folk music project, something along the lines of Auri. But Tarja's vocal skills changed his mind and sent them in the symphonic metal direction. Tuomas detailed all this on the End of Innocence DVD. When Marko joined the band, he and Tarja had great chemistry together and their combination made many songs like Everdream, the Siren, Phantom of the Opera, and many others very special. In my opinion and many others, that has never been duplicated. Yes, they are still a pretty decent band and Floor is a good rock singer, but that magical combination they had up to 2005 is long gone. And Marko's departure, I fear, is the final nail in the coffin.

@@andresweiland3714 It's certainly because of it being virtual concert. Imagine giving great live performance in studio with greenscreen and nothing else. I think the pandemic messed things and the tour for the Human Nature just couldn't be what it should have been anymore. Losing Marko is tough, but I still think Nightwish will be the Fenix once again at some point.

Yeah...too bad she is "under used" in their latest works🤷‍♂️😒

​@@Hellion73 Unfortunately yes. I absolutely understand her when she said that she (quote) "doesn't want to be a Nightwish cover-band" and also that she doesn't want to compete with Tuomas in writing metal songs. But in an interview she said, that she doesn't even like Pop music and doesn't listen to it. So, then why did she make a Pop album? Why not Rock or Hard Rock? I mean, her songs are beautiful, so is her voice. But when listening to it, you always have in mind, how much more she is capable of! I'm missing the variety! She is so talented and she put so much hard work into her skills, to jump between whispering like an angel, growling, powerful belting, high and low notes forth and back within a single song.

@@Bluebrain Man, I just read some fan comment about NW to be an "uninspired" band nowdays, not being metal nor pop, which is at its sunset and that the upcoming album could be their last as NW, and probably that's true. Thing is that some of their best recordings were with Anette and from there, there was nothing left for Floor and she knows that, NW is all about a "burned out" Tuomas band owner, so she is there just for the ride and the financial gain while it last🤷‍♂️

@@Bluebrain Where is this interview when she says she doesn't want to be a nightwish cover band I can't find it thank you.

Sigh, another Floor fanboy.

I was actually talking to Lorna Shore guitarist during last weekend when they played Tuska and he said that Nightwish / Wintersun have been the biggest influence on their orchestrations so yes you are right with them being very very influential to several bands which you wouldn't even believe...

@@chaoszineThis is a very interesting fact!😃 I wonder how many professional bands are out there, in the whole world, whose inspiration was Nightwish once?..💫 This is a rhetorical questions, I believe. For me personally.. I don't know where would I be and if I could ever sing the way I do now, if my path never came across NW music✨ I don't even wanna think about it 😄

Go outside

Yep! All the GREAT concerts are with FLOOR! Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley 2015, Buenos Aires 2018, Hellfest 2022.

sche is kick out , ha ha

the peak was wacken 2013 , sorry tarja fans .

@@fredverkerk838 imitating another singer is what you call their peak? Name one great song after Tarja left Nightwish. They still are playing songs made famous with Tarja. Floor is nothing more then a cover singer in Nightwish. No different then Journey w/o Steve Perry, Kamelot w/o Roy Khan, Queensryche w/o Geoff Tate.

Yep. Guy nailed the Finnish names (well, he IS Finnish, most likely) but then comes this "Fleur Jeansen" again. It's starting to annoy me.

@@noneofyerbeeswax8194Calm down I’m pretty sure Floor isn’t bothered by it. Some people make mistakes and shouldn’t be such a bother to you. Work on yourself.

Quite refreshing to hear perfect pronunciation of Finnish names and butchering someone else's name.

There doesn't really seem to be any bad blood between them these days, when Tuomas's father passed away she got in contact with him and I think they send Christmas cards and the like. Friends, perhaps not but I think the hatchet is buried so to say.

Not really. According to Tarja, they exchange emails here and there, presumably mostly regarding royalties and stuff. She also sent him condolences when his father died, but from what I've read, she got over the dismissal, but also has no interest in friendship. The dismissal was really cruel.

​@@Pravdacz-tp8zuthey worked on Crewish dvmb dvmb. Go outside.

Don't listen to these so called fans being parasocial. They worked on Crewish the Nightwish roadie project.

@Neece Lonewolf there's nothing paradoxical about what I'm saying this comes from Tuomas himself, I can't speak to the accuracy of the other person's comment, but OP asked if they were friends and my response is taken, granted not verbatim, from the man himself. Also I have no hate towards Tarja at all so there's no inherent bias in anything i said, but you seem to be awfully pissed about what was said seemingly with not much to back it. I know at least that they worked on Crewish and enjoyed it, but that didn't go against anything I said here. As for being a so called fan, I've been with them from the start through every line up change and loved all members past and present and would appreciate you not belittling that. Edit: I may have misunderstood you might be aiming that at the other fellow not me and if that's the case I apologise.

aaand.....don`t forget.....NW saved the GODDESS......... To my opinion it was a magical win-win situation........ Tuomas quote: "She is at home." quote end

Geez another Floor fanboy. They did quite well before she came along.

@@Briansgate Without a doubt they did well, and without a doubt I`am a fanboy of the greatest female voice I have heard in my 67 years.....of course my very personal opinion.

sick of you tarja trol

Haha well he is 😅

It’s still on KZfaq if you pull up her address speech of her of being fired after a show where they all played together as if there wasn’t a problem… It’s awful to watch her crying her eyes out giving a 15 minute speech to the press.

@@briangardner758 wow, very interesting 🤔 just saw it...

@@Angelus1269 yeah I remb being devestated lol

no wacken 2013

Ha en't heard nothing about the end. Just touring break.

@@lekalla after a long long pandemic break, I don’t know

@@aeonspeace6995 If they didn't take a break their schedule would look something like this: - Finish the Human Nature tour by the end of June - Start working on the new album in July - Record the drums, the bass and some of the guitars starting in August/September - Record the vocals - Record the orchestra and choir parts - Record the rest of the band instruments - Mixing - Mastering - Finishing the album's artwork - Shooting the music videos - Photoshoots - Promoting the album before the release by doing lots of interviews - Releasing the album - Promoting the album after the release by doing lots of interviews - Band members rehearsing the songs at their own homes - Band rehearsing the songs together before the tour starts Not to mention that they would have to start planning the stage production at some point, which takes months. There also might be some steps and phases that I forgot to mention. All this in less than a year, and then they would start a new tour that lasts another 1,5 - 2 years. When would they have time to rest properly and recharge their batteries? I understand people's love for the band, but it's not worth burning people out. :)

@@SilverCreek24 belive what you want, you will see, Tuomas made the demo of the new album long time ago, so… he wants to make it true, that’s it, the nightwish crew made crewish because with the pandemic they didn’t have job/money so you think they need more of this?

@@aeonspeace6995 I believe what they say. The band has only talked about a break or a hiatus. I'm not gonna make it anything bigger than it is, because that would be disrespectful. :) Nightwish is not the only band their crew works for. Whenever the band has taken a break between tours and albums their crew members have been working for other people. That's what they are gonna do after Human Nature tour ends. :) The pandemic took all their work away, not just the work they do for Nightwish. According to Marko, Nightwish helped their crew by paying them some bonus money so no-one would lose their house. The crew decided to form Crewish for fun and for earning a little extra cash. It never was a big source of money, even though every single penny went to the crew. Tuomas didn't want to receive any payments or royalties, he let Crewish have all the money. :)

I'm sure they will be back at some point after Floor has her baby 😉

I agree, even though i have already seen them twice i can never get enough from them

its better now , no 1 trick pony .

@@fredverkerk838 Nightwas. Today this band is a guitar-less, Gothic, pop, new age, cover band.

@@fredverkerk838 It's worse now! No Tarja, no Nightwish.

@stephensdygert7600 Agreed! No Tarja, no Nightwish.

@@stephensdygert7600 How about Nightfish too!

mrs Turunen is gone for 18 years now

@Ashrain Colder, by End of the Dream. It is a really good song.

@@sanderhoogeland9161 wow thank you very much, it’s a complete new discovery for me🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

@@ashrain6235 Yeah, it is definitely not as well known as Nightwish. To be honest, I don’t know if I know anything else by them or about them, but I have known that song for a while.

@@ashrain6235 So, I just finished checking out all of their music. It turns out I did know two more of their songs. The two albums they released are definitely both fantastic and worth a listen in their entirety. Unfortunately, they have not released any music since 2017.

Nah they're just taking a long break after this new record, they won't be touring the new record cycle presumably to focus on personal life stuff, especially with Floor having a second kid on the way. Definitely no word of a break up though.

No. It's the parasocial "fans" saying that. They all have lives and bands outside of Nightwish. As you get older other things take more of a priority. I also think losing band members due to heavy touring might've finally woken Tuomas up to taking a break. They're not young anymore.

​@@NeeceLoneWolf Very truth,but,maby some influence of not touring is the "state" in the world at this moment,don't forget, they already missed out of touring in,China,Ukraine,Russia and maby some other countries with big fanbases also.I can imagen they want to wait with touring to see if "things" get better. They are getting older ,but they are not that old,Tuomas =46, Floor= 42,Kai=49,Jukka=41,Emppu=44,Troy the oldest=59.Some other metal bands have a higher ,average age,and are stil touring,so in my opinion ,they have stil some good years left. Sure,touring takes its toll when you get older,but Floor already said on her solo tour that she want's to go on,we will see,hopefully next year we wil get some more insight's what is going to happen.😉🤘

Yes they are. But not just yet.

@None of yer beeswax no they aren't. There's never been a single iota of talk about splitting up, so can you do me a favour and not say things without citing a credible source?

She hasn't. The band is touring summer festivals now and they will also have two big shows here in Finland. Then in July they will start their traditional summer camp where they rehearse and rearrange songs for the new album. :)

Go outside

@@NeeceLoneWolf chill out , out!!!

😱😱😱😱

Oh no that's terrible.

Well No one is perfect so you can do these mistakes also by incident. 😊 And reuploading a video due some small error is not really worth it. 😊 We will try to be more careful with pronounciation for next videos. 😊

@@chaoszine No problem, I wouldn't be able to pronounce half of the Finnish names you said in the video so I get it 🙂

@@chaoszine Just ask Arto...he knows :)

@@baronnuuke7821Huh? You just made your comment irrelevant. Stop reaching

yes boring opera

BETTER then EVER.

@stephensdygert7600 Agreed! Kind of stupid to fire someone because of jealousy. And that's what that loser Tuomas did. He was jealous of Tarja because she chose Marcelo over him as a romantic partner so he fired her.

@@johnpolitis7929 Acording to Tarja, when the band first started, they all agreed, there would be no romantic relationships with her. It never works, look at Heart in the early days of the band, also Fleetwood Mac, Evanescence Amy Lee, the list goes on.

@@stephensdygert7600 first of all i prefer female musicians over models as i reject the hypermasculine trophy wife toxic masculinity gender roles. So these people are saying men should not marry women to be equal to them or with similar interests. Yes, it can work. Look at Pat Benatar and her husband guitarist in the same band who have been married to each other for 40-50 years, for example. The problem is male egos, not having romantic relationship of someone with the same interest. For me, I would do this as a political statement against toxic masculinity and gender roles that men always have to be with a female that is different or lesser status than themselves. That is why I would rather go with a female musician than a supermodel. "The personal is political"(Charlene Spretnak). My lifestyle is a political statement against the evil oppressive patriarchy and macho jerks and insensitive men.

@@johnpolitis7929 Pat and Neil dated and married from day one, really before they put the band together, Neil was playing in Rick Derringer's band. Day one, when Pat met Neil, she said in her heart(interview) I'm going to marry this guy. They were married really before they had a cohesive, professional, successful band. It was love at first sight, type of thing.

@@stephensdygert7600 I disagree with what you said. Tuomas treated Tarja with disrespect regardless of employment. He neglected her needs, etc. It was his ego, not the relationships between musicians at fault. Also, Tarja and Tuomas were incompatible in many ways and the breakup would have occurred even if they were not in a band together. People with similar interests often have better relationships than different interests. I want someone similar to myself, not different.

It really is criminal.

Accurate, still, the band raised the bar not only in metal, but in music in general. I will tell my grandchildren about this band.

@380stroker Agreed!

It became the REAL Nightwish when Floor came in. I would never the Nightwish from before that on my playlist.
