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!

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.

[@Bluebrain]

​@@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.

[@Hellion73]

@@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🤷‍♂️

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!

[@chaoszine]

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...

[@rhiannonlight7448]

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 😄

[@VanJR.]

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

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

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.

[@jerrymail]

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.

[@PlacidDragon]

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....

[@andresweiland3714]

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.

[@PlacidDragon]

@@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 :)

[@andresweiland3714]

@@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.

[@stefanl5183]

@@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.

[@juzujuzu4555]

@@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.

[@robcreel4257]

They're favorite band. Period. I'm 60yo.

[@arkarhein794]

Nightwish is my favorite band on earth. Although I like every version of Nightwish, 2013 line up is my favorite version.

[@tonyg8471]

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.

[@SabineWald_NowHere]

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..

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.

[@Pravdacz-tp8zu]

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.

[@starfallmusicaus]

@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.

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. :)

Nightwish, without Tarja, is merely a pale reflection of the band that once possessed greatness.

[@fredverkerk838]

yes boring opera

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

BETTER then EVER.

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

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.

[@stephensdygert7600]

Firing Tarja is the dumbest decision ever made, in the history of contemporary music.

[@johnpolitis7929]

@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.

[@stephensdygert7600]

@@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.

[@johnpolitis7929]

@@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.

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.

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.

Nightwish died when Tarja left, nowadays it's only Tuomas and Emppu, it's like keeping a dead corpse attached to machines.
