Tarja and Tuomas Interview "Century Child Tour (2002)" watching this in RETROSPECT...wow!  

That open letter was a one side story loaded with personal feelings, which is really to be expected because Tuomas and Tarja had known each other since they were teenagers. I'm not in a place to say anything about this, only Tuomas himself knows if he had romantic feelings towards Tarja or not. Even if he did, it wouldn't be surprising, because by 2005 they had been colleagues for a decade, and close friends for at least 15 years - cutting out someone THAT significant from one's life will be excruciatingly painful and traumatic. Tuomas is a brilliant musician and composer, but he definitely had his issues, and sadly his personal issues dragged him into a dark place around that time. I don't blame him, but I do wish that Tuomas had handled this situation a little bit better, more professional, least of all, I feel bad for them, and their friendship ending in such an ugly expulsion. I do hope they reconcile one day, not necessarily as friends, but at least on speaking terms.

Looking at them. They're so cute. Tuomas is right, she radiates charisma. He said it was same at school. It was as if Tarja had some kind of inner glow about her. And all boys were in love with her in one way or another.

favourite moment of this interview is the first second that you miss if you blink Tarja looks at him like :) and then Tuomas is like :)) and then they both turn to the interviewer like :))) Idk it's sweet.. they were so little back then ❣ and then everything that happens after this is a roller-coaster :D

I have not known Nightwish very long so I am far from an expert on what happened between the two. One line from Tarja’s song “Enough” basically says she held her tongue when certain things (plural) happened in the band. I’m not sure what she means but I know there was a lot of partying back then. It must have been very hard to deal with being the the only girl in those conditions. Put her husband in the mix and who knows. Everyone tells a different story. I don’t think anyone is totally to blame. The truth often lies in the middle and people are complicated. Even if you were to assign blame to one side, nobody won. They lost their friendship. With Tarja though , she lost 4 and so I feel for her just a little bit more. But she’s had such success with her solo career and she’s happy. Tuomas is married now and Nightwish has obviously been successful. Tarja’s press conference is hard to watch but it’s an interesting way to get her point of view.

They seem to be so happy at this time together....I also saw a video some 2...3 years earlier where they also sit on ground and some horses are walking behind...they look like a couple almost having fun and so warm moment together. I think they still "Feel for You" even though rough issues happened.

Thank you for making me watch this interview (I was so nervous to watch it)... it was great. Sweet, too, but shows that they simply do not want the same things; and I think it's telling that Tarja says Tuomas is a mystery. I was wondering how well she understood him, and this suggests that she didn't, not fully. And yes, that's partly because he holds himself back and avoids confrontation and deep conversations, like he says later in Maan Mainiot. But this is very much reinforcing the feeling I get from the lyrics and timing of things - that he was in unrequited love with her. He said he had a shitty year... She got married at the end of 2002, so she must have been deep in that relationship when Tuomas was writing Century Child; she moved away to Germany; and a further piece of turmoil was needing to replace Sami the bassist. It also reinforces to me that she would have left eventually if they had not fired her. She wanted to make her own musical path - and she has that right, but it is also obviously difficult to accept for Tuomas. Also, the interviewer was so pointed about that Beauty and Phantom question that he must be lying when he says he does not understand the reason for the theme :D Tuomas is the Beast (he only deflects that slightly by including all the guys! he basically said it!), Tarja is the Beauty. Tuomas is the Phantom, Tarja is Christine, the opera singer that he makes sing for him. It even fits that the Beast gets a happy ending, and the Phantom does not, and it is the later song (this just occurred to me...) If we are right and he was in unrequited love with her, though - did she know? It seems possible that she didn't, though with the lyrics, it would have had to be strong denial or wilfully ignoring what he was saying in them. Or him deflecting way too hard at every turn except in lyrics, which is very possible. Like he said, he never talks about stuff, even when he should, and avoids direct confrontation at all costs. And if she knew, well, that must have been difficult too - how to reject someone that you don't want to hurt but just aren't in love with. Sorry, just speculating here. I feel for both of them.

Rumors about Tarja leaving came from Kimberly Goss, leader of the Sinergy band. Behind the scenes things happened because Marko was in this band, they were opener for Nightwish during Wishmaster tour and then he joined Nightwish and for a while he was in both bands. Other key guys in the band were Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) and Roope Latvala (joined Children of Bodom later), with whom Marko was on good terms. Kimberly was ambitious and Marko had to choose. So he left Sinergy and Nightwish was his main thing.

Century Child is an absolutely amazing album. I still prefer it to Once, if only by a little bit. So many beautiful sad songs. Thank you very much for your reaction to this nice interview. I love hearing your thoughts. It's great to have reactors who already know the band and Tarja in her solo. Looking at it, I wish things would have worked out better between Tuomas and Tarja and they parted for good. And yes Century child was the first album with Marko.

One "theory" is that he had lost Tarja to her manager, or any chance with her anyway. She got married to Marcelo around this time. A lot of the lyrics seem to point in that direction.

Ive enjoyed you both .. humor , truth heart , intelligence, respectfull, informative etc . 👌🔥👽...love and Light from Holland ❤🦁🌷

Noticed when Tarja was asked about Marko, having another singer in the band Tarja said well i was away in Germany at that time and Tuomas made that decision and the shittier things happening is what was later written that Tarja wasn't always at practice and was loosing her input in the band This was the beginning of them separating noticed Tarja said when I'm gone as Tuomas said as you see it didn't take much for you to be here from Germany now that we're both here it saves money on tickets like an attack at Tarja that you have no excuse to be here and also Tarja admits she was following a dream before Nightwish and moving to Germany meant she can continue her studies. this interview reveals a lot. Love Tuomas Kurt Cobain Haircut and color

Sammi had been fired.Sammi was another old friend and original member. That was the turmoil he is speaking about. Plus the pressure of becoming popular outside of Finland.

ALL hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of NIGHTWISH and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!😀👍👍🤘

i have Century Child flag hanging from window behind my monitor.

Change in the band, Sami had to let go . Tuomas does not like make those things but sometimes he just have to do.

Marko was first in a band with his brother called "Tarot"

- "I'm not a rock lady" *laughs in queen of symphonic metal* - "Yes you are" *blushes in unrequited love* I ALMOST feel sorry for Tuomas, it can only be terrible creating art with someone you're in love with, but doesn't reciprocate the feelings. I can sympathize with his pain. Then I remember he's a ~redacted~ and I get over it, lol. But I can see why he felt the way he felt.

It is hard for me to understand why the fanbase has a need to create these elaborate romance stories between Tuomas and Tarja. Is it to make the story more interesting for reaction community? If you were a fan and followed the band during Tarja era, you would know that there were never any rumours or indications of a romantic feelings between Tuomas and Tarja. In a small place like Finland this would not have stayed a secret. First time any thing was said on romantic feelings was after the breakup, when Tarja's husband started to spread such rumoursa.

Not sure what subjects did Hietala study in music high school... some singing, for sure, but nothing to compare to Tarja. The Pop and Jazz conservatory was naturally about bass playing.

I think there is still information you don't know. the press conference that Tarja did after she read the letter is certainly worth listening to. Tarja said in advance that she wanted to leave the band because she wanted to act fairly, she wanted the band to have time to adjust accordingly, she didn't want to leave overnight. Everything was fine until Tarja secretly got married (2002). Tuomas couldn't cope with that, and the fact that he threw her out like that and insulted her out of stupidity was that he wanted to hurt her, he wanted to hurt her and take away all the credit she did for the band. The song Witch hunt is also worth listening to, and another one where she texts with Tuomas, the two of them actually text each other through their songs.

Lajf no sory fact tiler petr jony haf

Isn’t Kimberly the one who caused a lot of pain to Alexi Laihos family after his death?
