Nightwish interview - Marco (part 1)

[@elibichito]

I just love the fact that he looks pretty intimidating but as a matter of fact he happens to be really humble and sweet... such a great and accessible person...and of course an awesome musician as well!

[@wakaoeh]

+Kalinnha he has very fierce looking eyes.

[@babymoon555]

He's a teddy bear on the inside

[@Yksinainensusi1]

Marco is so sympathetic! I love his persona.

[@Sasori5699]

+Yksinainensusi1 I love his hair.

[@gp75motorsports]

+Yksinainensusi1 I love his beard.

[@weasley199]

Stradicaster I love his smile.

[@o2boutdoors]

Just started listening to Nightwish, and I'm finding the music and band members to be fascinating!

[@robcreel4257]

Great music, isn't it? I started listening to them a couple of years ago but can't seem to get enough of them.

[@calebnichols3111]

I love how at the beginning the interviewer made a mistake and stutted a little, but Marco just laughed it off and said "it's alright, go ahead", he kept his patience and was so nice about it, I'm sure that a lot of pop artists might have been a little rude or acted a little impatient.

[@manuelsanchezarroyo1829]

3:08 and this actually ended up happening. His son plays drums in Marko Hietala powertrio, with uncle Zachary at guitar too :)

[@RichardSmith-xt5tb]

This band seems to respect and actually love one another they will be around for a long time I hope

[@MariaHalfevil333]

love that man.

[@AndrewMarloweTV]

Marco is so aweosme

[@razzledazzleist]

Ah, Marco..such a beautiful man, humble and sweet. One hardworking man!

[@heidilikez2sing]

That smile!

[@dentistlinguist6569]

Please, don't judge the interviewers because people are not speaking fluent English in all parts of the world. It's just incomprehensible that I wrote this, but I did.

[@sic3b]

I'm Dutch as well and although the questions are okay, the spoken language is not. When you're a driver (like me) you have to know how to drive and so on. When you're an interviewer and you have to interview people in English, you have to be fluent or at least adequate in English. There's plenty of people in Holland who are.

[@Mrtheunnameable]

Better than asking really generic and disinterested questions like other interviewers.

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

I can't imagine living in Europe and having to use English as a common language all over the place just because England and America are so dominant in Western culture. Like, I took 4 years of German 10 years ago and can barely remember enough to hold the most basic of conversations, but I get to cheat because _every single German person I would ever encounter speaks my first language better than I speak theirs._ XD

[@hamstermunchies5558]

@@sic3b That's awesome but this really wasn't that bad. I don't understand a word of Dutch and only speak English but I understood her just fine. The interviewer has a very thick accent but I think the Dutch accent sounds beautiful so I like listening to it. I think I get what you're saying though

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

I enjoy the effort that goes into a conversation with people with different languages, and translate in their heads into English to converse. I admire their ability. I only wish I had it.

[@AsratMengesha]

Thank you so much, Marco, for all your kinds of music!!!!!!!!!!

[@damienmaynard8892]

Life the Universe and Everything. Douglas Adams! So cool, Marco!!

[@phoenixsub7072]

When you hear such very Vibrant music as Nightwish, the word "mainstream" is not even on the Map.

[@vo2287]

Lovely interview. Thanks for sharing

[@jansku9199]

I love him

[@Lovinglea61]

He said something at 3:30 that triggered a very interesting topic for parents, I wish I knew what to look for when my Son started experimenting with mind-altering substances. What should I have done to have prevented my child from turning to MAS? (Mind-Altering Substances) I do blame myself and not the music he was listening to at the time despite my complaining bitterly. Thank you Marco for your interview given as a parent and not just a musician.

[@mikebarnes7441]

Well it is your fault so you should blame yourself! Never blame music or musicians for your shitty parenting!

[@volderhamer]

[@КириллЛинкер-о5ф]

@@volderhamer My guess, the guy is projecting

[@Mtaalas]

Has anyone read his Biography? That look he gave just before answering "I'm good thank you..." Way... way more stuff behind that one look than you could even fathom...

What do you mean?

[@timbroski4487]

@@mikebarnes7441 www.backstagerockshop.com/collections/nightwish/products/marco-hietala-stainless-book-in-english This book probably, I think OP is referring to his battle with depression and alcoholism when his dad died, and maybe also his divorce in 2016

[@TheWaldoking]

Mucho Respect,great Artist☝️

[@marimarmarimar25]

Yes, Marko is a nice dady. And his boys need him. Toumas take care of NW so don't worry, be all of you hapy. You're young, take your time!

[@wakaoeh]

that 3-seconds pause from 0.19 to 0.22 seemed like an eternity, especially in an interview.

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

Basically he finds independence a very important aspect of living.

[@abrahimvr]

I already gave like to the video even without watching it because I know it's going to be good! \m/

[@Donna-C]

Interesting that Marko talks about “the music business” here (6 years ago) and that’s why he ended up leaving it all behind.

[@stkargronskog9345]

I'm sorry I laughed so much when the camera panned backwards and his eyes went massive like O_O xD such great guy!

[@mikebarnes7441]

Nobody cares why are you apologizing? Dumbass

[@annerosato1050]

I think it's not so much that the interviewer was inept, but rather not familiar with English as much as the bandmembers were, so this interview was a struggle for her.

[@WODELAR]

a real VIKING ! I wish I could have such great hair and beard.

[@kavitator5083]

WODELAR It's also a state of mind but yeah I agree, amazing beard, long hair haha! I'm always amazed by such elegance and manliness at the same time!

[@МихаилС-я5в]

+ WODELAR Викинг ? Ты серьёзно ? Хорошо что у них есть Floor Yansen ! Вот это Xena: Warrior Princess

[@Linkeri-72]

Finns were never vikings.

[@dentistlinguist6569]

Some of them actually were vikings. But that's probably not a thing to be proud of?

[@lekalla]

Real vikings were not as nice as Marko.

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

Angsty teen: *blasts metal at 2am* Most dads: "Shut that rebellious garbage off!" Marco: *\m/*

[@Quasihamster]

"You could just have called the album 42." Nice one :)

[@annielherbeil7219]

❤️

[@Gemmavanderlinden]

I do wonder if this is the first time this woman has ever interviewed anyone. Seriously, even if you're not an experienced interviewer, at least repeat the questions to yourself a few times before the interview, so you don't sound awkward as shit.

[@alicebas8898]

+Gerwin van der Linden oh yes,you're right

[@SethOmegaful]

+Gerwin van der Linden Maybe she is not speaking in her native language too.

[@EmeraldVideosNL]

+Nathan Maia I'm certain she's Dutch. I can hear the accent, because I'm Dutch too. My English is better than this though. ;)

[@davidtsang5424]

+EmeraldVideosNL I'm not Dutch myself, but I know the interviewer is Dutch because Marco mentioned Delain (a Dutch band he had collaborated a number of times ) as her "fellow countrymen "

[@davidtsang5424]

Looks like her English is not up to scratch and she didn't spend enough time preparing for it

[@argieStream]

This was quite a cross-examination :D

[@elsapham7908]

Does anybody now how old his boys are?

[@Darkness8888_p8f]

I think Marko is Nightwish’s best bassist

[@nicoarnold2200]

I started to reading FACTS at a pretty young age. Great person nevertheless!!!

You're wrong, He's just a living plushy. xD

[@richardjensen7186]

Look, you can't give the interviewer a pass for "English not first language." GET an interviewer who is comfortable in English. It IS the international language, after all. Marco is just awesome, but this lady just couldn't get the job done.

[@sic3b]

You're right. I'm Dutch just like the interviewer and this is just shameful to watch. I saw her do an interview with Floor as well and that was just as bad.

[@sykko.exit2348]

It's not that the interviewer's English sucks a little bit. It's that she's simply and completely unprepared for this particular task.

[@Unreal_Ra]

The interviewer is horrible. Marco is awesome.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

It sound the interviewer is still a student,maybe from Floor's old school

[@Metalwhore89]

I love his take on religion. In other words, it’s all bullshit.

dat beard tho

Im to have intrest in THE universe, but we are to dumb to understund 🤪

[@Shaeuwu]

the interviewer is not very good.

[@FaceCulture]

Sorry to hear that, what wasn't good about it?

[@AgunziLFC]

You can hear her struggle, but its more with the language, English is not her first language, give her a break ;)

[@hamstermunchies5558]

@@FaceCulture Don't listen to the negative comments. The interviewer is just as human as the rest of us, nervous but that's ok. I know I would be if I was sat in front of Marco. I don't understand why people say they should have got someone who ''had better English.'' The interviewer had a very heavy Dutch accent but still spoke well enough and I didn't have to struggle to understand and I am English. I thought they sounded really eager and sweet

[@dentistlinguist6569]

They are the first big rock band where groupies, drugs and aggressiv manners is not part of their image. Ok, wrong, Beatles and maybe Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath also were nice guys.

[@joncolunga673]

"What do you do to wind down?" Marco: Oh you know I prepare my level 10 spells for the next day from 6pm to 8pm it really helps me relax.

[@timbroski4487]

probably also dutch, they both have a pretty heavy accent

[@Sabouma28]

@@timbroski4487 yup.... FaceCulture has Dutchies... the guy that also has done one or more interviews with Nightwish is also Dutch

There's no hope with dope

[@Mtaalas]

When she asked "what is this song about?" I was like... "you need to ask?!?! :D" Quite obvious (and I'm sure the interviewer isn't clueless, it's just an interview question). Yeah, you need to ask even obvious things in interviews but just couldn't help myself thinking: "I wonder to how many the meanings of even most obvious lyrics just go right past their heads..."
