Nightwish is such a special band. Their journey through time shows how they keep creating the most magical music despite challenges faced. There will never be another band like Nightwish - pure magic!
I've loved them since 2004 with Once! Despite all the changes, all members will always be important. I've loved all 3 singers and so glad they keep going. Can't wait for the album next year
Nightwish is a living and always changing organism. I think a lot of people can proof that this is ONE OF THE BANDS THAT INFLUENCED SO MANY PEOPLE in the whole world. Just by its music and the World they created. Thank you, Chaoszine,for this video!
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 😄
I still think they are amazing but really really miss Markos' vocals. It's kinda weird they didn't find a replacement to at least sing some of his parts :O
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.
🤘❤🤘 Tarja & Marko rekindled their friendship in December of 2017 and he will be performing with her, this summer. After the death of Tuomas' father, Tarja reached out to Tuomas, in February of 2021. They have remained in touch.
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 🙂 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. 🤘❤🤘
I'm so happy to have discovered this -pretty - unknown Finnish band in 1999. Despite the changes in members, Nightwish has always been able to appeal to talented people. In addition to the particular touch of the compositions of Tuomas, it is what must explain the longevity of the group probably.
Nightwish is certainly one of my favorite symphonic metal bands. I love the compositions and lyrical themes of Tuomas, which makes it all sound magical, majestic and enchanting. Been a fan since 2005.
The only truly irreplaceable member of Nightwish is Toumas, as he makes pretty much all the music :) That said, losing Marko was a very tough pill to swallow....
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.
Nightwish is the personificiation of the Fenix, no matter how big the thunderstorm is they always find a way to reivent themselves. Been a fan since 2007 this band changed my life and my musical horizons. Thank you Nightwish, Tuomas and everyone. Happy Birthday Nightwish
@@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🤷♂️
I remember listening to Nightwish in 2003, Wishmaster, and being blown away by symphonic metal. I’d say my interest in that was when I listened to Metallica’s S&M album and thinking to myself “man, it would be so cool if bands incorporated symphonic elements to their music” the rest is history lol
Yeah, lots of drama. But given how long they've been around, Nightwish has been relatively stable. A core group has weathered the storms and I believe their greatness reaches far, far from Finland. I'm in the USA---where Nightwish has a very small fanbase---and I can tell you the Nightwish era of Floor Jansen changed my world. I believe Tuomas is the greatest songmaker (his term) of my lifetime (60+ years). However, his greatness did not fully materialize until Floor joined the band. She is an incredible singer, and a live performance juggernaut. Of all the changes, I believe the most damaging has clearly been the departure of Marko. Really tough loss. His voice is sorely missed. Many can play bass/guitar, but very few can bring the voice of Marko Hietela. Still, moving forward....if they don't lose Floor, Nightwish will age like an unopened bottle of 30yr old single malt.
I discovered Nightwish long after Tarja was gone but I can only watch them with her opera trained voice. She was also gorgeous to look at. What a shame they split the parts..
Saw the Band live in LA spring 2022. 70 years old at the time. Been a rocker since the 60's , Grace Slick , Janis Joplin where my favorite female singers, then along came Ann Wilson and the in my senior years Floor Jansen. This women, in my humble opinion has got to one of the best singers in the world.
Seen em 3 times and I will continue to see them whenever they come to Canada. I’ve always been a fan of opera and they just made it heavier. Absolutely beautiful music
Having been fortunate enough to see Nightwish with every singer, Tarja was on a whole other level. Her vocals are some of the best I've ever heard from any vocalist. It's such a shame it didn't work out with her and Nightwish.
I am late to this bands party, 2005 I think, they came up om a Rapacity Dream Theater playlist, since them they have been on the top of a lot of play list, the sound the emotion the energy has just captivated me to no end, DVD's CD and the records i have picked up, YA they get played A LOT, Damn GOOD band , nice video thank you, favorite song?........Ever Dream.....Whats yours?
Thank you for this video, I hope it serves to stop some of the rumors that Tuomas "settled" for Anette because Floor wasn't available. NW has had a lot of drama over the years and crazed fans do nothing to help calm the situation
a shame that the vast majority of the population in France never ever heard of them. I doubt that just one of their song ever made it to the radio... anyway, fantastic band !
@@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.
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of NIGHTWISH and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice the enchanting TARJA!!!😀👍👍🤘
@@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.
Spinefarm did not signed them right away. They INSISTED and followed the label and asked "pretty please, throw away other bands cds and listen to ours!".
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.
@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.
I just wonder after all the mess with anette leaving or whatever and getting floor to join, when and how did tuomas brain start to partying when floor got up to speed.That must have been amazing to listen to for him.He got the jackpot.Marko stings a bit though.
@@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.
@@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. :)
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
@@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.
They have to reach a positive solution in their process or else this band will come to an end. The fact of not having acceptance and reconciliation with their past and with their previous members continues to affect them
I had no idea Tarja was fired, I was under the impression cuz of stuff I'd seen and read, that she and the band separated on good and mutual terms cuz she wanted to pursue her solo stuff
It’s still on UA-cam 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.
I see that the whole little clique (= gathering of trolls?) of the rigid old night wish geezers has found each other again in the comments of this video...
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.😉🤘
@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. :)
Nightwish was..before tarja...and they still are without her. She was only a member ...not the composer. If she had been smart she wouldnt have been fired. Love her voice too but Floor isnt going to get herself fired. Floor even toured pregnant. Tarja f'd up hurting only herslf...and maybe a few fans feelings. But nightwish is bigger and better because of it.
Dude you literally have videos of her in YOUR channel saying "hello this is Floor Jansen and you are watching Chaoszine" . You just had to watch them again to remember how to pronounce her name correctly. 😉
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. 😊
1 - Boy loves girl. 2 - Boy creates a band for girl. Tries to tell girl he loves her in song lyrics. 3 - Girl doesnt give a shit and marries a guy with an afro. 4 - Members picked it up, but kept on while it was good music, "all art comes from suffering". 5 - Boy loves another girl, music becomes boring, drummer and bassist give up. 6 - Boy now uses band to not have to get a day job and make more money than one. That is all. (Oh! And throught the process becomes alcoholic, makes a project 1000x times better then Nightwish ( For My Pain ) but, it has no p*ssy, so it doesnt matter, dumps it).
Now you cannot even make a video ABOUT a band USING THE BANDS music. You get demonitezed and locked away. So absurd this "stock youtube music" that has nothing to do... Also, this shows that "creators" just want money.
I don't know what drama went around inside the band but letting go of Miss Tarja was the worst mistake ever. Sure , their records after firing Tarja were still fire,and the vocalists after her were crazy awesome as heck, don't get me wrong, but Tarja had the VOICE , VISUAL and PERSONA, with Tarja, Nightwish was just Magic, their music had a soul. She was the Heart of Nightwish.
Their 10th album, appologies I don't remember the name, was awful. It's a whole new style of music, and isn't nightwish. It's by far their worst, and I fear we're coming to the end of nightwish.
@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.
Tuomas fired Tarja because she married another man. Tuomas had a crush on Tarja for years, since they were kids. She knew this and played him on for years until she fell in love with someone else and married him. Tuomas was really hurt by this and felt betrayed, so I don't really blame him for firing her. She obviously played the victim card. Anette's firing was awful, i agree here. Although I think it was for the best as a lot of people didn't like her way of singing.

and the in my senior years Floor Jansen. This women, in my humble opinion has got to one of the best singers in the world.
They're favorite band. Period. I'm 60yo.
Their record of hit albums and concerts speaks for itself!
Yep! All the GREAT concerts are with FLOOR! Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley 2015, Buenos Aires 2018, Hellfest 2022.
No new information but a nice glimpse into the history of the band.
Go outside
Nightwish is my favorite band on earth.
Although I like every version of Nightwish, 2013 line up is my favorite version.
Seen em 3 times and I will continue to see them whenever they come to Canada. I’ve always been a fan of opera and they just made it heavier. Absolutely beautiful music
Having been fortunate enough to see Nightwish with every singer, Tarja was on a whole other level. Her vocals are some of the best I've ever heard from any vocalist. It's such a shame it didn't work out with her and Nightwish.
This band changed my life
Great information. Well done!
Forever Tarja & Marko , Tarja is simply angel and queen of symphonic metal music..
Well done sir! I only discovered Nightwish recently but have become totally mesmerized! Floor Jansen is amazing! ❤️ New subscriber here! 😎
❤️l love Nightwish
❤️Nightwish is awesome with Floor Jansen❤️
just goes to show how important great writing is.
I am late to this bands party, 2005 I think, they came up om a Rapacity Dream Theater playlist,
since them they have been on the top of a lot of play list, the sound the emotion the energy
has just captivated me to no end, DVD's CD and the records i have picked up, YA they get played A LOT,
Damn GOOD band , nice video thank you,
favorite song?........Ever Dream.....Whats yours?
Thank you for this video, I hope it serves to stop some of the rumors that Tuomas "settled" for Anette because Floor wasn't available. NW has had a lot of drama over the years and crazed fans do nothing to help calm the situation
Thanks, greetings from Colombia
My Queen summoned me, whom I serve Floorever!
Nice summary. Cheers
🤘😎🤘
they also were in Eurovision 2000 representing Finland with Sleepwalker
a shame that the vast majority of the population in France never ever heard of them. I doubt that just one of their song ever made it to the radio... anyway, fantastic band !
Well done summary video!
A nice potted history. Don’t know about pronunciation of Finnish names but Goddess Floor is Yansen, even if spelled Jansen.
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.
Great review
Century Child was released in 2002, not 2000.
Whats the background song in this video?
All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of NIGHTWISH and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice the enchanting TARJA!!!😀👍👍🤘
sche is kick out , ha ha
Nightwish ❤
End of an Era is my all time favorite DVD. The band in my opinion Nightwish was at their peak from 2002 to 2005....no offense to Floor fans.
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.
What is the name of the song playing in the end of the video, pls help me
Nice pronanciation of Finnish names! Almost like you were native
Haha well he is 😅
Spinefarm did not signed them right away. They INSISTED and followed the label and asked "pretty please, throw away other bands cds and listen to ours!".
Come on not fair interviewing my favorite people on the planet also I have an important question "Are Thoumas and Tarja still friends?" thanks
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.
I just wonder after all the mess with anette leaving or whatever and getting floor to join, when and how did tuomas brain start to partying when floor got up to speed.That must have been amazing to listen to for him.He got the jackpot.Marko stings a bit though.
❤️
What’s the music in background???
@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.
Tarja may have been fired, but she had told Tuomas that she would be leaving the band.
I'm so sad that they are on a live pause after their 23 tour.
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
So this is the end?
Tomas can feel proud of this music legacy, just hope he keep making music, specially metal music, he is just a genius
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. :)
There is no Nightwish without Tarja. Its that simple.
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!
The Goddess FLOOR....Saved NIGHTWISH..Trust & Believe it! 💯
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
Please do a segment on The o
Finnish Power Metal band : Stratovarius
They have to reach a positive solution in their process or else this band will come to an end. The fact of not having acceptance and reconciliation with their past and with their previous members continues to affect them
I had no idea Tarja was fired, I was under the impression cuz of stuff I'd seen and read, that she and the band separated on good and mutual terms cuz she wanted to pursue her solo stuff
It’s still on UA-cam 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
did you mean to say Stratovarius?
I miss Marko
..story was, story is, ....but the times with Tarja is irreplaceable...,,...peak of Nightwish..
no wacken 2013
Its normally the drummers that get replaced.😁
😁🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯 ❤️🇫🇮
I see that the whole little clique (= gathering of trolls?) of the rigid old night wish geezers has found each other again in the comments of this video...
dont forget Villo
Are they gonna split up😢
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?
Marko 😓😓😓
I though floor has left now too ?
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. :)
Nightwish was..before tarja...and they still are without her. She was only a member ...not the composer. If she had been smart she wouldnt have been fired. Love her voice too but Floor isnt going to get herself fired. Floor even toured pregnant. Tarja f'd up hurting only herslf...and maybe a few fans feelings. But nightwish is bigger and better because of it.
Sonata Arctica Please

“Yansen” not “Jansen”
OH AH AH HO AH AH HO AH AH HO AH AH
Dude you literally have videos of her in YOUR channel saying "hello this is Floor Jansen and you are watching Chaoszine" . You just had to watch them again to remember how to pronounce her name correctly. 😉
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 🙂
@@baronnuuke7821if it's no problem, why post the comment??
Go outside
@@chaoszine Just ask Arto...he knows :)
@@baronnuuke7821Huh? You just made your comment irrelevant. Stop reaching
The background music of this video is annoying. It takes away from the narration and makes it hard to enjoy.
Yansen.
JANSEN not djensen or what you saying
First Marko , then Tarja , now Tuomas .... suspiceus , but well some crew would like see that 3 again in same stage , at least Tarja and Tuomas again.
Go outside
@@NeeceLoneWolf chill out , out!!!
Nightwish, without Tarja, is merely a pale reflection of the band that once possessed greatness.
yes boring opera
BETTER then EVER.
Dude, you MISPRONOUNCED Floor's last name... come on!
Oh no that's terrible.
My Favourite 3 bands:
1) Dream Theater.
2) Black Country Communion.
3) Nightwish.
🤘🏻
1 - Boy loves girl.
2 - Boy creates a band for girl. Tries to tell girl he loves her in song lyrics.
3 - Girl doesnt give a shit and marries a guy with an afro.
4 - Members picked it up, but kept on while it was good music, "all art comes from suffering".
5 - Boy loves another girl, music becomes boring, drummer and bassist give up.
6 - Boy now uses band to not have to get a day job and make more money than one.
That is all.
(Oh! And throught the process becomes alcoholic, makes a project 1000x times better then Nightwish ( For My Pain ) but, it has no p*ssy, so it doesnt matter, dumps it).
Accurate, still, the band raised the bar not only in metal, but in music in general. I will tell my grandchildren about this band.
Now you cannot even make a video ABOUT a band USING THE BANDS music. You get demonitezed and locked away. So absurd this "stock youtube music" that has nothing to do... Also, this shows that "creators" just want money.
I don't know what drama went around inside the band but letting go of Miss Tarja was the worst mistake ever. Sure , their records after firing Tarja were still fire,and the vocalists after her were crazy awesome as heck, don't get me wrong, but Tarja had the VOICE , VISUAL and PERSONA, with Tarja, Nightwish was just Magic, their music had a soul. She was the Heart of Nightwish.
the attitude of the members to the singers is not respectfull, no nightwish without Tarja for me
mrs Turunen is gone for 18 years now
Nightwish ya no es nightwish desde que se marchó tarja y marco
Their 10th album, appologies I don't remember the name, was awful.
It's a whole new style of music, and isn't nightwish. It's by far their worst, and I fear we're coming to the end of nightwish.
Firing Tarja is the dumbest decision ever made, in the history of contemporary music.
@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.
Lol, the way they "fired" Tarja and Anette was so toxic.... as much as I like their music, this boys club treats women like trash.
Tuomas fired Tarja because she married another man.
Tuomas had a crush on Tarja for years, since they were kids. She knew this and played him on for years until she fell in love with someone else and married him.
Tuomas was really hurt by this and felt betrayed, so I don't really blame him for firing her. She obviously played the victim card.
Anette's firing was awful, i agree here. Although I think it was for the best as a lot of people didn't like her way of singing.
It went to crap after Tarja left.
@380stroker Agreed!
It became the REAL Nightwish when Floor came in. I would never the Nightwish from before that on my playlist.
@@johnpolitis7929 the anette trol
@@rientsdijkstra4266 Floor sucks in Nightwish. She was much better in After Forever.
@@fredverkerk838 Annette sucks big time. The worst singer and the worst of the worst.
That's a big problem. Nobody outside of Symphonic Metal has ever heard of them. 😶🤘🚫
It really is criminal.
Bullshit! The story starts in Bulgaria, Sofia, where bulgarian music teacher collect the entire band together. THEN the idea of the band came!
