Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish) interview 26.09.2007 

Tuomas is SO GORGEOUS!!!!!

I love Tuomas! I'm really drawn to his eyes, he has some of the best eyes I have ever seen! He is also very talented and he has great manners. I wish I could find a guy pretty much just like him! T_T

Tuomas: "Amaranth"-single has had a very good reception in the world and all over the Europe but the releasing of the album will finally show in which direction we are going to go. I think everything is possible. If we think about the sale and success; we'll either stay at the same, go down a big time or maybe even go higher...what ever happens ----- (can't hear what Tuomas says in the end of this sentence).

Special thanks to IntoTheRage for translating this whole interview !!! Thanks again : )

Please check out the first few comments. There you can find the traslation

Wow- thanks so much for translating, it's so frustrating when you can't understand what their saying- lol! Does any one know what video that is- what song, and if it's been posted here on RU-vid? I've never seen them have any other musicians playing in their videos, especialy women, but what do I know, my daughter got me hooked on Nightwish- lol! It would be great if someone knows what video this is, thanks a bunch~ Dora :)

Thank You veeeeeeeeeeeeery much INTOTHE RAGE.

Hi, I would have translated this right away but at the moment I´m so busy with my work. So, unfortunaly this translation must wait...

Nightwish sold Double Platinium in less than 1 week. * * Absolutely AWESOME * *

(continues..) Tuomas: As a "drama" this is really exiting to the normal people,like a soap opera from real life, whether you like the band or not. I haven't really enjoyed the situation ..it has been just a compulsory thing for me. The next couple of weeks will show how this is going to proceed.

Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes...

Interviewer: What kind of influence has the change of the singer been commercially? It has been up in the media exceptionally often during the past two years. You've been in the headlines because of this change a lot? Tuomas: Yes, we've had a lot of attention from the media, more than enough. I can't say how it's going to affect...

Genius and gorgeous. Not bad at all ; )

(continues..) Tuomas: We didn't expect at all how big thing it could become in media. We had to discover a way to manage through all that.

Interviewer: When you think about the past two years, have you been surprised how much there has been writing and how much the media has been interested conserning Nightwish? Tuomas: Yes, it surprised me totally. Thinking about it now afterwards I wonder how me and the other members of the band could have been so naive when we thought childishly that nobody could be interested in our rockband from Kitee.

(continues..) Tuomas: The more visibility and positive publicity you have... it's really not a bad thing , should we say.

wow hes like a one in a century child

Interviewer: Is it enough nowadays that you just make good music or is the so called extra publicity what you need also? Tuomas: I would say it's like a one big puzzle and every piece has its own meaning. But first of all it's the music that counts.. without it (music) you can't be long in the business. You can survive a year or too but to have continuity it's about the music.

Interviewer: Do you think that all this publicity has had some disadvantages to Nightwish in some way? Tuomas: Some say there isn't such a thing called bad publicity, but I disagree in this case. I think people have begun to focus on "wrong" things.. After all it's only about a rockband whose purpose is to make music..to make music with passion and so well we are able to. People often forget that.

In fact they are about to:-(

he looks hot with it!!! what's your problem i love him jojojo

When they do interviews in Finland, they most definitively speak finnish then, lol

Lol There are so much interwieves in english and u will find them easy:)

Maybe there is something in the water ;-) Our country is called the Land of the Thousand Lakes

Interviewer: What things you wouldn't do in any case even if it promoted/brought up the record sale? Tuomas: I never wouldn't like to speak up for example politically. Our music has sometimes been asked to be played in some political programmes but I have not given the permission. Actually it really wouldn't be such a bad thing but it's just not our thing. .Our music has also been asked to be used in some questionable commercials but we haven't gone to that road either.

please please please.....someone translate this.....!!!!!!!!!!!

I would really like to understand this... :/

i wonder one thing .. how does Tuomas pick eyeliner and eyeshadows? by brand? lol Tuomas is a perfect guy to go make up shopping with! think about it ...
