at 05:47: Tarja:" I´m not a Rock lady..." Tuomas: "Yes, you are." Sooo sweet! :) Although I´m fine with things how they are today concerning NW and Tarja, I still sometimes feel bit sad and confused why it had to end like it did, especially when watching so harmonic scenes like this one.
It's so incredible that once it was true... smiling together, being interviewed together, just be together... beside one another without hard feelings...
I just want to say, I am so much miss both of them. I miss gold times with a sweet harmonian notes of a beautiful sound of their's music. Thanks guys, you made me stronger and you has had a great influence on me for a long time, and changed my way of thoughts about everything. about my life also. And yes, after so many years, I still fell hurt about them. Just rememberd all that happened in the past, and so here I am, after all the years we left behind.
I feel a little selfish now. Thank you so much for posting this interview. It has made me realize that this whole time I've been praying for Tarja to return to the band, but now I see she wasn't happy with the band. She wanted to go after her own dreams. So to wish her back is a bit selfish. It all makes sense now, thanks. -Lochness
Tuomas is so intriguing or like Tarja said, "mysterious". He's just awesome. As for Tarja, it was great while it lasted, she contributed nicely to the band, but she's gone and I think it's for the best. This is the new Nightwish era, and I sure as hell can't wait to hear what the mastermind has in store for us. Also, you're welcome to flame my comment, as most of you are Tarja worshippers anyway; and please stop with the conjectures of how Tuomas was "in love" with her. Get over it already.
Oh, really they look innocent! It was so different times, with Tarja.. At first, I didn't like her but now I think it's soo sad that she left.. In life it's like Tuomas wrote: "blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins". Luckily, they found Anette and everything turn out good :)
Very interesting dynamic between the two of them. Tuomas comes across as, understandably, a control freak (creator, writer, arranger, decider on what happens and what does not), and Tarja kinda does her best to fit in with his vision, but as she said, there comes a point where you have to take control of your own life. It's clearer to me now why she left. (or was pushed)
Very cute and funny interview,even if it's a bit nostalgic. They was a great band and they still are. She was a great singer and still is. Life goes on!
tarjas lovely...i love how she says "yeah..tuomas made the decision.." she says tuomas really nicely..its great to find people that u even enjoy listening to just cuz of their voice
They're both adorable! :3 ..I believe and always will that they were made for each other (if it was for Tarja I would step back :P)....I wish they were at least friends now..
Wow. I'm in awe about the last few minutes of this video. Talk about foreshadowing. I think it gives a little more insight into the eventual departure of Tarja that doesn't make her seem like the diva-b*tch that the band's farewell letter made her out to be.
@bbphnix I'm a recent fan too, and I can say the hardest thing to imagine is... never, no never, we'll never see the good Nightwish in concert. Ne-ver. So sad. Now can still go to new nightwish concert... with 'her'.. it depends if you like it or not.
I was just saying his dream was to create nightwish. And in the creation of that dream she was the women in them you know the singer not anette at that time. Now anette could be part of a new era of his dream.
Yeah you're right seacowlove,...I can see how they did their music and probably asked Tarja only for singing what they had already planned,...so contradictory that they sounded so well but they didn't get on, as I can see,...and probably that is the reason of the new sound in Tarja record. I'm sure that as soon as she gets into it she'll do excellent
You are absolutely right but if he had really done such a bad job as you say and if the whole importance of Nightwish would be Tarja... then even the best promotion, previous album or poppiest song wouldn't have helped Tuomas to stay succesful... but you see it's him who creates the magic... who gave tarja the notes to sing. All the hooklines are his. Nightwish is a manifestation of Tuomas' Feelings... and like I said... you can replace a musician. But never a songwriter with genuine hits in him
Wow it's so weird, she was not even involved in the creative process, not even living in the same country, yet her vocals were on every level, even spiritually so destined for the album. Then Anette later on was so committed and there were none of the hard feelings, but her vocals were not the same match. What can you make of that? How strange can you get...
He doesn't look at anette the way he looks at tarja. Tarja was the women of his dreams. Not saying he loved her no one know that. But tarja was always apart of his dream. And probably always will be the women of his dreams.
Tuomas: "I think the major difference lies in the vocal performances" LOL After many years, this is sentence has a new meaning, for what Nightwish is concerned.
@Zavedi234 Tuomas is a borderline genius, indeed. Nightiwsh is 99% him - as far as songwriting and arrangements, and even lyrics. I was so heartbroken when I heard that Tarja had parted ways with them. Nightwish is not even close to what it was. No disrespect to Annette, but she just can't fill those shoes. Thankfully. Tarja's solo career is amazing. I have almost every solo release (barring singles), and they're all great, especially "What Lies Beneath."
OMG.............i just got turned onto this beautiful group....so sad they split up..over selfish endeavors .. no matter where you go now....nightwish will never be the same without tarja's voice.........
Am I the only one thinking Tuomas is a god? Of beauty and of music.... They looked so cute back then...I wish they will stop arguing and be friends again...;(
The fact that it's the most commercially successful album does not mean that it is better than the others. There are a lot of reasons for the success: The huge amount of publicity from the split with Tarja. It's a follow up to a very successful previous album "Once". Nuclear Blast are premoting them better than ever before (even removed the old official youtube vids of Nemo and WIHAA). The first single was verry poppy (Tuomas' own words ;p) and drew a load of people in straight away
Can anyone tell me what that noises is? It sounds like something hitting the boom mic or something, my god it drove me crazy throughout the whole interview!
@sparklight39 we're not fighting! we're just giving our opinion! and it is normal for people to say this because it is a fact! Nightwish without Tarja is nothing!
omg!!!!! i wish i could see ONE, just fucking ONE VIDEOCLIP of nightwish without stupid commets of "oh, tarja is the best, oh, fucking anette..." or anything else like these!!!!!!!! cant you stop fighting????!!!!
@bbphnix (next) because she can't hit high notes, and it's hard for her to sing them, you can guess it seeing her face while she's singing. That fact proves she isn't made for opera, with or without training. In addition, did you notice? Sometimes she invents some melodies, it saves her screaming high notes. As she does in "Ever dream". Now I explained myself, I can't do more, agree or not. PS: The confidence on your mother is too cute :)
Totally agree.We're not talking about Tarja's firing here,because she would have left anyway.Then the situation would be the same.And what is it? They have a singer that can't sing.That's all.
@bbphnix No, I'm saying you need some voice to train it, Tarja has a powerful voice, she trained it. Now it's your opinion if you think Anette's got a voice. I disagree with that fact. And I think, she has a voice, but not made for opera, even with training. Not at all. She showed it, and she still shows it, nowadays, when she tries (in my opinion she doesn't succeed, sry) to sing some..no, a lit of Tarja's songs, she screams because (next)
I AGREE! I listen to old Nightwish and Tarja's solo stuff because I don't like new Nightwish. Dark Passion Play makes me sad because it doesn't sound like Nightwish.
