I love Finnish mentality: so much modesty and down-to-earth-ness, even with great talents. No bullshitting. Thanks for this interview, really interesting to a huge fan of both Nightwish and Wintersun! Was thrilled to hear Jukka loves Shoemaker, it’s such an unforgettable song.
What a great and humble guy Jukka is. Nightwish could not have made better choice.
He is a perfect fit, and he played flawless in this show. I think all bandmembers had to get used on such a stage behind the big green screen and no audience. So yes he seemed a bit nervous but everyone had to get used to the situation.
i had the exact same feeling, his thoughts mesh well with the other members of the band.
Yep, totally agree, he is the perfect choice for bass. Wintersun are heavier, but no less melodic, the bass lines share some common ground. As for the vocals? Who knows - the main thing is Nightwish have a solid future; a blessing for Marco no doubt who must have been in a bad place, or heading to one to leave so abruptly, good health to him, good luck to Jukka, and onwards with Nightwish.
All suomis are , cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪
Now we need a documentary about Jukka, it can be called 'Please learn 21 songs in 2 months'
Yeah you have to be skilled to do such things.
They are finally touring now, so it will probably called 'Please learn the setlist in 48 weeks'
@@impugnu7852 for a professional or well rotated musician, is kind of easy. Most bands playing at parties, bars, saints holidays parties that exist in all countries have a huge setlist. I played in a band , and we played others people's music (from pop, reggae, rock, traditional Portuguese music, Brazilian, African, Latin, etc etc , you name it) it was 70 music without counting with the medleys, so most of this is made in 2 months. And sometimes a new hit appeared on TV or radio and we learnt that in days. So it's very normal for a musician that plays almost everyday to assimilate music 🎶
:-D If i remeber right, :-D Floor was in same position in backtime.
if you can play for Wintersun you can play for any band :P
As Jukka points out when you change a member of a band you change the dynamic of the band. Floor is the third Nightwish female vocalist and the band has gone from strength to strength. We'll never forget Marko, but I know the fans will give Jukka the great reception he deserves.
Jukka...a sympathetic man, great bassist. Hope he enjoys playing in Nightwish.
Thanks for this, Jukka seems to be a humble artist, a good fit for Nightwish!
Totally agree. No stardom, all members are so humble and down to earth.
Seen both shows and was very pleased with his bass lines.
Good fit for NW.
Nightwish picks Nightwish kinda people.. 🙂
The name is already perfect
Thank you KaaosTV and Jukka for this interview
Your welcome. 😊
Jukka being both a Nightwish and Wintersun fan, you were on my list. You and Jarkko. Hopefully, you will change your mind and sing because you have a fantastic vocal range.
Yes me too! I'm now hoping for a duet with Floor and Jari
I want Floor to sing one, so that Floor is free and no one interferes with her, I hope so.
@@hamohamo8270 I fear another left will make nightwish break up forever, so I hope not
I guess the band will need time to adjust. Marko not being there is still painful (at the end of the first concert when Tuomas hugged Jukka he almost cried, probably a mix of happiness for playing again but also realizing Marko wasn't on the stage anymore). Jukka not singing Marko's parts is a sign of respect, he's not "replacing" him (nobody can do that). But as the band keeps playing live they will start trying new things, and to be honest: Troy did a great job but another male voice harmonizing with Floor or doing some chorus is missing in some songs...
@@j.f.l.bousquet1998 is there any little clip where I can see that hug?
Jukka is a awesome, professional, humble guy and a solid bass player who was my first choice to replace Marko. No one can replace a legend, but he doesn't need to. Nightwish still has plenty of legends left.
Jukka seems like a very upstanding guy, that will fitt very well into Nightwish. He has a good taste ........ Shoemaker is - and were awesome in thr live stream :-).
Welcome in the Nightwish family, Jukka.👍🤗 Shoemaker, great🤗
I attendend both NW concerts, what a bass technique!!! A natural bassist!!! (I am one and I can hear his playing)
Wow, really nice guy. Humble and well-spoken. Huge thank to him to help out Nightwish.
Liked a lot his praise to Marko. Those words are balm on grieving fans wounds...
Wish you all the best, herra Jukka Koskinen. Welcome aboard, have fun and we hope to see you soon personally at stage
You did well Jukka. You seem to be a good fit. Thanks for sharing and this was a good interview.
Thanks Milton. 😊🤘
I really hope he stays permanently! Obviously Marco is irreplaceable, but Jukka did a great job. Besides, it would be AWESOME to have 2 Wintersun members in Nightwish, just magical!
Is fantastic to have Jukka on board. I’m a a big fan of Nightwish and Wintersun as well. I’m glad to see Jukka joining the vehicle of spirit that is Nightwish. He is such a sound guy, I remember how nice he was with us the wintersun Mexican street team to do an interview with us and meet and greet. I wish you all the success with the band and I’m sure Marko is super happy to see you helping the band
What a nice guy and great musician !! I love Wintersun so I was so happy to know he is the session bass player for the tour. To be honest if Marko doesn't come back... I really hope he will become a permanent member of the band and he will start singing as well because he can do it very well !!
Thank you for that great interview and that it is in english😉
You always get the musicians to feel relaxed and it feels more like a conversation than an interview.
Jukka did really great in the virtual shows, I hope he will sing on tour.
Thank you Arto and Jukka.
Greetings from Germany🤘
Thanks a lot. This comment made my day. 😊🙏
Yes, great bass playing! Longing to see you on tour!
Regards from Sweden
Ulf
Jukka was one of the first names I thought of when I heard that Nightwish will have a new Bass player, not least because Jukka and Kai work so well together. I think Jukka nailed it in the live streams. He seems to be a quiet and humble person and fits well with the rest of Nightwish
Ein sehr sympathischer Mann und ein top Musiker...
21 songs in 2 months!
That’s impressive - a new song every 2.85 days!
And you also played them great Jukka! 👏 🤘
Jukka, is a GREAT bass player! I think Nightwish made a good pick here, very humble indeed!
Really enjoyed this interview. So happy for Jukka and what he will bring to our beloved Nightwish. Yay.
Thanks 😊
I think Jukka will fit right into the Nightwish Family - same honest and humble attitude, and a great bass player.
And you might start warming your voice - you and Floor could be doing some great duets - completely your own versions, and not comparable with Marko at all. And worry about Floor - she can keep up!! 👍🤘🤘
Thank you for this interview ! And welcome Jukka, you were really great at the live show ! I especially liked the bass tone and line in Tribal, better than the record one !!!
Thanks 😊
Excellent interview. I like Jukka's playing for one and his outlook and demeanor for another. He looks to be a good fit, now just to get some live shows.
Thanks 😊
Jukka is equally modest and down to earth as Tuomas and all of Nightwish (band + crew etc.). Seems like the perfect fit.
I would very much like to see a mic for Jukka during the upcoming tour. Maybe when he has settled in a bit more we can have him make the live sound fuller with some background vocals.
Welcome Jukka. After watching virtual shows . I can see why you were picked . You play very similar to Marco and with the same swing and vibe . Look forward to seeing live at some point . Thanks Ron from buffalo Ny.
Jukka is an amazing bass player..an d im really glad he joined Nightwish 😃
Welcome to NW Jukka. The concerts last weekend were phenomenal and you were superb. AND Floor finally has someone taller than her in the band!
Big Wintersun fan like his style, never seen an interview with him before. Seems a great and humble guy, hope he gets more vocal in Nightwish, all the best. Again Arto great interview as always.
Thanks 😊🤘
Thank you for this interview, it's really nice to get to know the newest member of the family.
Man, does Jukka's voice sound like Tuomas's.
You did very well Jukka.
Love from Portugal from a Nightwish and Wintersun fan.
As much as I miss Marko it is wonderful that NW found such a nice down to earth an talented new member in Jukka
Welcome to the Nightwish family, Jukka! Happy to have you with us!
This big, friendly, calm guy really fits with the role of bassist in my mind. Good to get to know him a little and looking forward to seeing him play live later this year (with a little luck). Can anyone recommend me a Wintersun song to hear a bit of his vocals :D? (I'm really not expecting a Marko Hietala, but if he could and would do some vocals that'd be really neat)
@ThomasWintersun’s Sons of Winter and Stars, another is Time. Jukka sings backing vocals there. Take Sonic Pump Studio live rehersal, they very amazing 👍
@@elisav9925 Thanks for the suggestions Elisa
Man Jukka is in like how many bands now Norther, Wintersun and now Nightwish? Basically Nightwish has 2 members from Wintersun.
What an humble and honest guy, thanks for the interview!
You are welcome. 😊
Jukka stands on his own. Very talented.
Kiitos Arto & Jukka :)
Marco is irreplaceable but Jukka is such a great choice! And I thought he could be the one because he is a great player, he can sing and because of Kai connection :) Love the interview! Jukka welcome!
Good interview Jukka and I wish you all the best with Nightwish
Such a humble guy. Metal community got great people. Kiitos
Great interview by Arto again. Jukka seems to be correct replacement for Marco and fit well so the band can keep the correct mental state and humble attitude at the same time as they are top class musical artists and global stars.
parempaa basistia ja ihmistä ei ois voinu löytyä nightwishiin. hattu pois taas hyvälle haastattelulle kaaostv. loistavaa kesää kaikille.
Kiitos 😊
See you in New York in October. I cannot wait. Best wishes for a successful tour!
Tjat was very good interwiev, thanks. To Jukka, you are more than wellcome to the NW!
Very nice interview and how kind is the new player! Great man. It must be super difficult to replace Marko. Basically a guy need to "reinvents himself" in a way to create a brand new, very "visible" character of a frontman.Lots of pressure. I wish him best of luck!
Good luck to Jukka. Like his attitude.
Fan of Jukka work since the Norther era, really happy to have this guy in nightwish , great choice !
Love to hear him out of the stage. Talented and nice character. Seems to be a little shy, but with a great bass tone.
Excellent interview, tnx to both of you.
You are welcome 😊
Thank you KaaosTV. Jukka it was a great and pleasant surprise for me to see you with Nightwish. I am glad they chose you over other possible candidates. Enjoy the ride my friend! Goodluck to you and to Nightwish!
Damn, now I have mixed feelings. In one hand I miss Marko, but on the other hand I like Jukka a lot and and I want him to become an official member of Nightwish... if Marko comes back, can't Nightwish have two bass players? 🤔 🙂
Yeah love Finnish culture so much huge influence in my personality really Nightwish's songs are just super finnish in general Nightwish making the world a better place and spreading Finish culture we can all learn from the Finnish people seriously.
Jukka is awesome but i for sure know that hé also has a great voice and hé can growl bery good and i hope that in the knew nightwish tour is gonna sing songs hé has a beautiful voice❤
Very i mean
Welcome, Jukka! You did a great job!!!
Nice interview. Best of luck. See you in the USA
Really can't wait to see you either!!
Thank you for the interview.Welcome Jukka!
You are welcome!
Great interview!
Thanks 😊
This was a really interesting interview
In the virtual concerts he looked like Opie from Sons of Anarchy.
@Charles Joelau And Brat Pitt and the Jolie, sounds like Holywood discovered Nightwish!
@Charles Joelau Opie.
I thought of exactly the same thing!
Great interview.
So excited to see Jukka and NW this coming November \m/
Nice to get to know him a bit better like this 👍🏻
Thanks for this interview
Thank you 😊
Well I’ll tell you, you fit in perfect Jukka in Nightwish. Your bass playing and bass tone were so perfect for the band. I’m so excited for your part in the band.
Welcome Jukka in Nightwish band, already i hear you playing, and that was bad ass, thank you.
Thanks for the interview! Jukka welcome to the Nightwish family! 🤗
You are welcome 😊
Very interesting interview thank you
Thanks for dropping a comment. 😊
Thank you, Arto, for, yet, another fine and respectful interview. The 'new' bass-man already proved his extreme capabilities and also already as a person(-ality), Jukka perfectly adds worldclass bass-playing to Nightwish. Maybe later on (he's officially a session-player ofcourse), he could or is allowed to prove his singing abilities/who can tell? A very fine person...humble, self-assured in the right way/must be something that's embedded in the Finnish culture...I love it! Greetz from NL.
Thanks! 🤘
I can't believe I still hadn't subscribed to your channel yet! Your interviews are always so relaxed while also being on point, with a good question flow and no unnecessary waffle. And most importantly(even if it's no benefit to my Finnish-learning lol), they are in English - which is what makes an interview what it should be: information that reaches the broadest span of audience possible and your combination of clear language and structure just does that. Kudos and stay healthy!
Thanks. ❤
ENTER JUKKA! Great interview, loved both shows, seems like a really really good fit :)
Thanks 😊
excellent get. ever since they announced Jukka would be the new bass player, i've wanted to hear from him. dude did an awesome job for the virtual shows. looked like he was enjoying himself, being with the band. Emmpu was vibing with him. the fact he was in Wintersun with Kai probably made it easier. great that he has been a fan.
Hi Jukka . Welcome to Nightwish and to new fans. Nice interview. I thought you should have asked how it was with Floor singing . What he thought of her singing .
Kiitos Arto ja Jukka! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for another excellent interview. I love Jukka in Wintersun and can’t wait till October to see Nightwish in Massachusetts. Marco will of course be missed. But an excellent choice I think for this tour. I know we Americans are horrible at learning second languages, most of us anyway so thank you for doing the interview in English.
Thanks 😊
We love you Jukka.
If he's just staying for the tour I wonder what Tuomas has in mind after that. But for the time being I'm glad he's on board, great player, and seems like a cool guy as well.
Floor was also first only for the tour. They want to see how tour goes. Nightwish will continue. Tuomas has already booked studio for 2023.
@@petrik8550of course, I just meant what kind of bassist will join if he doesn't stay, which is probably the case as he said he just joined as a session musician. Maybe then they'll look for one that also sings lead parts.
But that's far ahead in time so yeah, we'll see.
@@dac2007 My feeling is that this session player thing is just because they want to test Jukka for longer period. How they get along on the road. Nightwish is really a big family and personality is a big thing in fitting in. So far it looks good. And i'm sure that Jukka wants to become a permanent member of the band. But we will see 😉
This guy is a great fit for Nightwish, if Marko decides to return I would welcome him back as all fans would, but if Marko plans to never return, you looking at a guy that loves the music and wants to be in the band. He did a great job on bass for the virtual concerts too.
Yes, everybody is happy...
Kiitos haastattelusta
Ole hyvä vain. 😊
Once again so impressed how well so many people from other countries speak English so well, when most of us Americans can't speak more than a word or two of a different language.
Finns start studying english at the age of 9 or 10 and some of us even in kindergarden with english play schools. 😊
@@chaoszine I wish my USA would be better about teaching another language to kids. Spanish at the very least considering our neighbors in Mexico and South America. But sadly too many Americans in power of these things are too busy trying to get rid of anyone "different" than themselves. Just leading to a nation of dumber people who will continue to struggle internationally. It embarrasses me.
@@peterbell3199 US and France are too proud of their language to learn others. Also you can easily live in EU with only talking english so I understand why people dont bother learning more. US Finns speak normally finnish, swedish (that also starts at 9 or 10 depending which you choose first) and then some learn German as a voluntary subject. 😊
@@chaoszine amazing. I wish I could speak more than English and moderate spanish.
Thank you for the resposnes/info!
Welcome Jukka
Birmingham November and Wembley December see you there !
the epic compositions pieces of music that Tuomas Holopienen creates and then shows to the other members and says hey check this out
Jukka go, Jukka come. :D
21:14 is that also a hint to Wintersun not managing the album?
Did I understand him right, they did not play live while the stream was running. They broadcast a recording form a view hours ago????
Yes that is correct. They didnt want to risk technical issues would fuck it up for fans.
I hope it will be in english :)
Yes sir it will. 😊🤘
@@chaoszine Oh, nice! Thank you!
@@chaoszine Ah great! I am looking forward to this
The best thing i heard him say and/or admit You cannot replace a man like Marco. I tip my hat to him for this. Time will tell and Troy cannot handle all the backing vocals. Sooner or later he will have to sing. Then we will know for sure.
Good thing is that Jukka can sing, maybe not as powerful style as Marko, but yea he can def do backing vocals.
Só falta ele cantar pra equilibrar o peso do nightwish
Shoook! In a Good Way! Edit3 but Wintersun rules still 🥲
Is Arto related to Jari in any kind? Or is the name Mäenpää pretty common in finland? I'm asking myself this for quite some time :D Maybe someone knows more...
It is not that common and nope we are not related even though I know him personally fairly well. -Arto
@@chaoszine Thanks for answering and clearing that up ;)
GL Jukka. Pretty much impossible to cover Marco, but i wish you all the best.
My first opinion if i heart that Marco leave the Band, was Jukka and i am right.
i wonder who will replace Jukka once Wintersun goes on tour ? i was thinking about legendary bass player like Hansi kursh (yeah he can play bass and sing) but hes too busy with Blind Guardian. then i thought of Ensiferum bassist. hard to predict
Or Kai Hahto as he is also part of Nightwish? 😁
These 2 guys are official members now. Wintersun is never their priority, its their 2nd band.
@@chaoszine Oh really? i knew that Kai was an official Member of Nightwish now but wasnt sure for Jukka since he doesnt sing.
@@MikePotvin it was recently announced that he is also a full-time member now. :) Read their Facebook for more info. :)
@@chaoszine oh that's nice i rarely use Facebook i mostly watch Floor's UA-cam. So Jari will have to look for a Bassist?
nice men
