Nightwish interview for GoetiaMedia.com 2020 (Tuomas Holopainen)

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

1:15 Tuomas: "Yay!" That was touching. He was so genuinely excited that someone GOT IT without him having to explain anything. Unlike something like the song Nemo where he's clearly tired of telling people that, NO, it's not about that damn fish from the Pixar cartoon, or Captain Nemo from the Jules Verne story.

[@ruma9687]

Can some one give the interviewer a medal or something. Be it Nightwish, an athlete or actor they have to answer the obvious repetitive questions all the time, she did handle the interview completely differently

[@jabymartinez5608]

I'd never seen Tuomas so happy and smooth in an interview. Congratulations!

[@danielberger1378]

This is probably the most joyful interview with Tuomas I have ever seen. He seemed to be very relaxed, and it's the interviewer's job to make that happen. Really, really, really well done!

[@juliaemmerich6269]

Two shy sweet people in front of a camera, haha :D

[@tuomasholopainen1030]

I know you will be so amazed and shocked to get a text from me but trust me it's nothing to me... I'm having a good time and that's why i replied you, thanks for your support and kind words. I will like to keep in touch with you.

[@Eva-ek9ni]

Wow, thank you so very much for your awesome comments!!! I have to say it was my first interview and I was so excited (and nervous) to be meeting Tuomas! Your beautiful comments mean the world to me! A million thank yous! ❤️🦉

[@mariavalini128]

yes,it was a delightful interview!

[@johannessilver8653]

You did great and like Tuomas says...he loves technology but more he loves human and nature...and a real person to interview instead of machines. I think you manage to get him relaxed and open himself well.

[@buek14]

Probably the most joyful and yet not fangirlish but empathetic interviewer lady I've ever seen. Good touch on the questions :D

[@terrykelley2872]

Very cute too

[@Quasihamster]

Yes. I'm not a rockstar but I can interview me anyway if she wants. :)

[@matthewkolb1694]

Nice to see Tuomas really open up, I don't recall too many interviews with him like that. Well done by those involved.

[@matthewkolb1694]

@Tony Montana I don't doubt it, I never feel he holds back it just doesn't get drawn out in standard formats internationally.

[@emelielonnberg.]

The questions were very good. Different than other interviews I've seen of Nightwish before 👍

[@Cobalt322009]

What a fantastic interview. The interviewer was on point and asked interesting and informative questions. Love it! The only negative is the obnoxious guy taking the photos. Props to both of them for ignoring him.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

I totally agree with all the positive comments about this interview & wasn't that annoyed with the background noises - they are part of life as well.

[@derrickowen8162]

The background noises are a part of human nature.

[@christopherk7725]

Great interview 🎶 Great to see Tuomas "happy" - " Yay!" 😃

[@narges362]

Thank you for this interesting interview.Tuomas is an incredibly talented composer musician and songwriter but how humble calm and polite he is .😍😊

[@aegonthedragon6341]

Great interview. Finally the game of thrones theme thing was answered, with a great anecdote :D

[@sheepinwolvesclothing1135]

What exactly are they referring too? The intro to noise?

[@cornflowerofsweden1288]

Hey, that interview is probably the best Nightwish interview I've seen. Great job, ms Stokes!

I like how she gave him a lot of space, and the body language was very inviting for a good conversation, really well done! Felt like Tuomas opened up a bit more as well, was interesting to see

[@maboleth]

She's gorgeous! Such pleasant attitude and happiness to be there, interviewing Tuomas! :)

[@jonnyd9864]

best nightwish interviewer ive seen. super sweet, genuinely curious, great questions, and very cute too!

[@maelysoldenight860]

Very interesting interview, with not asked before questions. Awesome !

[@ivsalimeni3049]

Finally a normal interview and great questions you can see even Thoumas is suprised,but the noise god damn camerman dude can you just sit and not move..

[@Rosannasfriend]

This was a great interview. Thank you so much for posting. He answered a lot of burning questions that I had.

[@Frostecc]

Great interview and very beautiful girl, i like her laughing and she is so cute and adorable :3

[@kasinkone]

This was a very good interview, wish it would've been longer

[@zt890]

Lovely interview but the noises from the background are very irritating and loud. It distract you from the interview itself. You asked great questions. Thank you!😀

[@burtonesque.teawitch]

Despite the distracting person, I'm naturally looking forward to the album. Tuomas makes everything sound amazing through his words 💜

[@Blues666]

"...but it still sounds like Microsoft..." LOL Love the subtitles... :'D

[@GeeksHorrorNight]

So... What he said ? ^^'

[@balticstain7150]

Great interview...

[@gothicmetal3191]

Love Toumas! The man is a genius Very open in this interview, on others you can see he is just waiting for them to ask him something stupid 😂 Amazing album too! ❤️

[@myrathjanssen1938]

That camera person makes a lot of NOISE and I can hear constant breathing, very annoying, But great questions!

[@mikebarnes7441]

Marion Janssen dang now I hear too

[@SynphamyMusic]

I was wearing good headphones and i didn't notice this... I went back to half way through the video after seeing this comment and suddenly it's like an ASMR video!

[@BLSbrokenBONED]

Fantastic interview! Thank you very much for the interesting questions. =)

[@handibenkz4091]

Great interview, you did a great job with this 👍

[@psbarrow]

Dear GoetiaMedia, Get rid of whoever the rude jerk(s) is/are making noise in the background. Eva's respect to Tuomas is undermined by the disrespect shown off camera.

omg thanks for mentioning the game of thrones similarities I've been wanting to know what they think of it and whether its purely coincidental or not hahaha

Totally good interview......great compliments/couldn't have been done better!

[@billattercliffe8655]

The interviewer had some very thoughtful questions and we can see that Tuomas appreciated them. It's a pity that a good interview was dragged down by the person behind the camera. I've been a sem-pro and I've worked with pros in photojournalism. We may have been competitors, but we respected each other and if someone transgressed, shit happened. No one steps into the shot. If a pro was behind the camera, those bozos who intruded into the shot would've been intercepted before they got there. That amateur snapping shots would've been told to wait. A pro photographer would have stayed out of the shot, would never have the camera beeping turned on and would have shot with an electronic shutter to silence the camera. All that background breathing and clatter would never happen. There was zero respect being demonstrated here and the videographer had no balls. Don't get me started on the zoom fiddling and the bad framing. Eva Stokes did a great job and should have had the support of a pro behind the camera.

[@ralfmeyer9086]

When i look and see Tuomas with this a little bit shy Interviewer.wow But ,who destroy the room in the Background hihi😂 ah, Tuomas thank you now i am shure, about yours, Floors and Troys in the Nature part🥰

[@maxmattt]

With every interview I more excited about the album.

[@pavolridrich3434]

I wish someone asked what Tuomas thinks about Floor in Beste Zangers perfomances. I know he knows she is amazing, one of the best... but I d love to know if he was aware she is so crazy capable btw... good interview, one of the best one, most of them is terrible, like people has no idea what to ask. so good job

[@tuomasholopainen1030]

Thank you so much Cheng, hope you are doing great?

[@derrickowen8162]

People want to hate on the background noise a lot. Get over it people; this is a KZbin channel and not a professional mainstream interview crew. I do wonder, however, why there was a photoshoot going on. That was kind of weird and annoying.

[@villainouschrisk]

i don't know who is off camera, or what they are doing, (all the ripping sounds) they need to settle their simple selves down and be quiet while recording is going on. great questions and great insights shared by Tuomas.

[@Thorgrim247]

Great job Eva! The mastermind himself. Tuomas, just a thought about the next one. Humankind's need for spirituality and something bigger and grander than ourselves? This could encompass many diverse ideas and maybe bring some international vibes and rhythms to the music. Just a thought.

[@yuugur666]

"I have absolutely no idea what the next album's going to be like" So there's going to be a next album likely, and that's all I ever needed to hear

[@cinderellsworth]

On THIS day -- January 12, 2021 -- a lot of people are having some doubts. We cannot imagine a Nightwish album without Marco.

[@ChrisPage68]

I wonder if - or when - the final song will be performed live.

[@PlugInKali]

I wasn't going to say anything, because several people have mentioned it already but when I saw at 5:55 a person with a phone stand up and make a horrible metallic noise I had enough. This was truly a wonderful interview and it's an absolute shame that you spoiled it with all the noise and the breathing. It is INCREDIBLY annoying for the viewer and disrespectful to the artist. Please avoid that in the future.

Amazing interview and interviewer but absolutely terrible camera man. What the hell is he doing walking around, scuffling and taking pictures in the shot? Fire that guy and get someone new, come on.

[@gothicmetal3191]

The cameraman was rude! Obviously doesnt know there is a god in the room!!

[@BG-hp6mu]

Whoever is behind the camera making noise and heavy breathing ruined the video.

[@Drivenswe]

Fucking hell - this has to be the most unprofessional camerman in the history of interviews. I'm amazed Tuomas doesnt call it off. Sounds like this camera guy is unpacking his lunch for the entire interview. Please punch him in the face from me/everyone. Other than that, great interview. Ty.

[@manolo597]

👍

[@lmbergamini]

soo much noooooise. But great interview tbh

[@epiczeven6378]

Great one, too bad they didn´t give you more time 😬

[@burtonesque.teawitch]

Sorry but whoever is behind the camera is extremely noisy and rude. Far too distracted by it to watch the video. I always stay still when filming and try not to breathe too loud. This is a disgrace and disrespectful to Tuomas.

[@burtonesque.teawitch]

Oh come on!! Now he's IN SHOT. You guys this is so unprofessional..

[@machintelligence]

Listen to the voices and tune out the noise. It isn't difficult, we do it all the time.

[@burtonesque.teawitch]

@@machintelligence I did.

[@Mtaalas]

You guys need better audio setup for these interviews... and that constant focus hunting is a bit annoying... oh well :/

What! He didn't see Game of Thrones? Ever?

[@pedjavukmirovic6770]

Tuomas is anoying hes getting old he drag floor and others on his personal sink

[@machintelligence]

When has Nightwish ever been anything but a vehicle for Tuomas to express himself? He is the songwriter/composer after all.

[@joeplant2725]

Pedja Vukmirovic you havin a stroke there dude?

[@GPrinceps]

I wish I knew what this comment means, but I suspect no intelligent Nightwish fan could hope to understand whatever your point is. If you don't have valid constructive criticism to offer then it's best you say nothing at all.

[@derrickowen8162]

Yes, he's getting old. It's how nature works. He definitely isn't dragging Floor or any of the others anywhere. They are their own people and make the choice to work with him, because unlike you, they have friends.
