"Plus we have now reserved the studio for Nightwish album #10........." 😭😇🤩🥳
Aw yea! Cant wait
2023...just have to be patient...
🤘😛🤘
Yay!!!
Tuomas is a real ocean Soul and a Edema Ruh .what a musical genius in our Lifetime..Stay Save. (for all)
true agreed with you!
The most important thing is "NIGHTIWSH is not done".
Amen
yeahh!!!!!!! I SM SOOO HAPPY
Thanks for your love and support i really appreciate, your comments have made me known to the world so dear great fans words are not enough to express my gratitude.
Been a fan since early 2000s, I went through the line up changes along with Tuomas and the band and if I can only say one thing is this: As long as you have music you wish to share with the world, the fans will be there to listen and enjoy it with you. Thank you for the good work
Thanks for your love and support i really appreciate, your comments have made me known to the world so dear great fans words are not enough to express my gratitude.
The positive news is that Tuomas has a sight to the future and the fans are not going away ;-) So I only see a good outcome. Can't wait to see the virtual show. Still, I hope that Marco is doing well, saw a video of a gig he did not so long ago, so at least he's alive and kicking.
That's all I can think about lately - Marco's well-being. Can you link to the video, or give me a Google clue?
He has already booked the studio for the next Nightwish album!! Summer 2023... It means 2024 release!! Very good!!
Woooow. I'm so hyped. I need to meet him in person and give him a huge hug. He helped me in my darkest times with his music.
@@Joanafandrade This news makes me more happy than I can put into words here. Seriously.
@@Thomas-qy7wm Same. I started to cry
@@Thomas-qy7wm me too. Hopefully they will pass in my country during that tour. I've see them twice. 2008 and 2016. Only met his wife in 2016. Now i need to meet him and thank him. ❤
Awesome news. Can´t wait new album
Good job of the interviewer! He really lets Tuomas answer and asks the right questions
I think it frustrates him that band changes and some people blame him even he hasnt done much related to the changes. 😊
@@chaoszine yes must be a difficult situation
I agree,a very good interview! Very well done 👌
Thanks for your love and support i really appreciate, your comments have made me known to the world so dear great fans words are not enough to express my gratitude.
Yes...a long time Pro for doing these.
We clearly can see how this theme with lineup changes effects him. He’s very positive man but still some subjects hurts him deeply. I’m so happy that they decided to continue the band.
Yes, it weighs on him for sure.
He is not yet confident how it will work - he is perfectionist. But after the Islander's Arms show it will change hopefully, and relieves him.
Gábor Schermann I think he has the picture after first rehearsals with new lineup, but of course the show is more important. But it better be live crowd of course so he can really see the feedback. I’m not sure how it will work in virtual world. And again, if he reserved the studio for new album recording he must be pretty positive about the future.
@@konidvor We'll see :) Of course, he has the picture, but - as you said - he needs the feedback.
I'm curious about him - Tuomas said "it was pretty easy" to fond him. I think this guy was in his phonebook already, and he's Finnish, probably well known otherwise. He just shoot a call: "You comin'?" - "Yep" (Finns don't like to talk too much). But we'll see this as well :D
@@gaborschermann5479 I'm very curious too :) But it's not really surprising that he found replacement easily. After 25 years in musical circus I guess you gather a bunch of friends with high musical skills. If we think, 2 last replacements was exactly like that, Floor and Kai both was like buddies from the same circle. One thing I find out about the Tuomas when we talk about new members for the band, for him the personality is, I guess more even important that musicality, it's just great luck that there's no bad musicians in that finish metal scene :) But my point is that new bassist should be someone that he knows for ages. But yes, soon we will see :)
So glad to hear what Tuomas is telling us,it's a very possitive message and let's hope it all comes true🤞
Greetings from the Netherlands and stay healthy ❤
Excellent professional interview. You understood topics that obviously hurt Tuomas but had to be explored and did them in a respectful manner. Well done.
He is so talented interviewer and knows Tuomas well.
Always all the best wishes not only to the band, but also to all those who in one way or another are part of Nightwish ....
I had a horrible feeling that this Human // Nature album would be Nightwish's last ... what a relief to hear Tuomas confirming not only that he has more music to share with us but that there is an album for 2024. A great weight was lifted from me ...I liked the Skyrim mug😀
Tuomas knows how to share his thoughts in a deep way. Good to hear this interview here. Kiitos, KaaosTV! :)
You cant say the same from the opposite side on this interview. Wasnt really happy myself about my own speaking here but I guess his answers matter the most. 😊
@@chaoszine You did a great job, Arto! Hopefully better days are coming for us all this rest of year.
@@JohnWins hope so dude. 😊🤘
@@chaoszine Thank you for doing the interview in English, I liked your questions (because of your questions some of mine were answered by Tuomas)
@@alizbolla6431 thanks 😊🤘
This interview saved my day and the time till 2024 when the 10th album from Nightwish comes out ;-)
YYEEEEEESSSS
where are now those who said this was the end of Nightwish??
The ones who thought the same when the breakup with Tarja took place except now they are worried because of Marko's departure. Life, and Nightwish, will go on and some new base guitarist?, vocalist?, guitarist/vocalist? will have a marvelous opportunity to prove themselves with a legendary band.
When I watch Tuomas interviews my day goes right suddenly, like miracle. Thanks for the interview!
That is very true. He gets me always in a good mood after talking with him and his speaking tone is quite calm. =)
Bless Tuomas, it’s been quite the ride for him and Emppu at this stage as the only original band members left. I’m glad they decided to keep going, but is so sad to see him obviously distressed when talking about Marco, very sad but the hint of optimism in his eyes is always gratifying. Fantastic job on this interview guys, ALSO if I ever get asked about what’s the most Finnish thing i have ever witnessed, i will refer them to this interview and to Kimi Raikkonen ones xD. Cheers from a Mexican fan in Ireland, eagerly waiting for the virtual shows and for the live show hopefully happening in November in Dublin this year.
Thanks for your love and support i really appreciate, your comments have made me known to the world so dear great fans words are not enough to express my gratitude.
Since year 2005 when Tarja left.... Tuomas and Emppu have been the only original members.
@@johannessilver8653 Jukka was a founding me never, let us not forget that. And he was still in the band after Tarja was fired.
@@DanasLilMakeup Tuomas, Emppu and Tarja founded NW...Jukka came a bit later. I know when he jumped aside and why even though still "managers" there.
Very good interview and tons of information, but I just listened what I wanted to listen: new album in 2023-24. Yes, I was afraid the band could be over after Markos's leave. I'm happy today
Thanks for a great interview! It is fascinating how optimistic Tuomas seems to be and he very seldom, if ever, nags about tiresome or miserable situations. In stead he makes a list of what he wants to do and accomplish. That is so admirable! He brightened up all of our days by telling us about the future album!
Loved this! Thank you. I love to see that Tuomas seems to be doing well mentally during this time and staying busy. We all need that for sure.
It might sound as a cliche to say but Tuomas is my huge role model! I admire his possitivity and optimistic approach and it's so wonderful to know that the band will move on. Of course I already miss Marko very dearly and I will miss those songs that Tuomas has mentioned in this interview, but then again we have that old material to enjoy and listen that will be forever in the band's history. I'm so going to enjoy the live streams coming later this month! Kiitos paljon, for the interview!!
Ikr? I'm 41 already, only 1y and 1 day younger than him, but I conaider him as a role model as well. It's great how inspiring that man is.
I love that Tuomas is sipping coffe from a Skyrim cup. I would also love for him to lay down some tracks for the next Elder Scrolls installment.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 YESSSSS!!!
Thank you Kaaos TV and Thank you Tuomas! We love you!
Thanks for your love and support i really appreciate, your comments have made me known to the world so dear great fans words are not enough to express my gratitude.
Tuomas face when the interviewer brought up Marko was incredibly sad. Hugs from Canada. So tough.
Kiitos KaaosTV for this wonderful interview. I am looking forward to the virtual shows!
Yes Tuomas,keep telling your stories through music to us please 💖! You changed and change lives,in a good way. ...Sigh...what a beautiful,intelligent,ridiculously talented,pure and special man.... Tuomas 🥰
Keep your chin up Tuomas- we need you!
The simple thought that nightwish was that close to calling it quits is hard to process. I am so incredibly happy they stuck to a positive mindset and kept going. He gave me a lot of reassurance about the future to come
Indeed. Of course many of us may have feared the worst, but to hear him say those words...and then continue on to be optimistic and positive and determined. Absolutely made my day! And they are apparently thinking in terms of phases - he did point out that this would be the tour bass player. I always prefer to take the days as they come, and then strive to leave space available for the unexpected or even the hoped for and magical! Was already, but am now even more excited for the Islanders Arms...hope to "see" you all there! And thanks so much to you Arto, it was a pleasure to meet you and I will definitely check in again! 🤘😈🤘
Thank god they found the strength to continue... I thought that might be the end of Nightwish!! That made my day :)
Very good interview, clear and actual question, well prepared, even the tougher questions were very well put forward and most importantly u let the man just talk. Probs to u man and thanks.
When I first read Marko's statement about leaving Nightwish I was so scared that this would be the end of the band. I'm still sad about his resignation and I will miss him dearly and wish him all the best but my eyes just filled with tears of joy hearing Tuomas say that they still have so much more music to give and many more stories to tell and that they've already reserved the studio for recording a new Nightwish album in 2023. I hope that the amazing energy and the unique companionship of the band will continue and that the new bass player will receive the same warm welcome that Floor, Troy and Kai received some years ago! :)
I am so excited about the virtual shows.... this will be a very bright spot in my not so great time period...
I also love that this is reinventing or reimagining how live music can be performed!
A few of my fav comedians have used something similar to put on shows too!
Thanks for your love and support i really appreciate, your comments have made me known to the world so dear great fans words are not enough to express my gratitude.
Kyllä minä enkuksikin tämän voisin hoitaa, mutta käytän nyt suomea koska te kummatkin olette suomalaisia ja samoin iso osa yleisöstä. Tämä oli tosi hieno keskustelu, kiitos molemmat herrat . Oli todella mielenkiintoista kuulla Tuomaksen terveiset. Aurin kakkosta olen tiennyt jo odottaakin ja nythän se julkaisupäivä paljastuikin. Kiitos! Ja uutta yövissyäkin on kehitteillä. Hieno homma! Me perukkalaiset olemme olleet hyvin koronalta suojassa (Tuomas Kiteellä ja minä Kainuussa), mutta jonkinlaisen alakulon se on meidän kaikkien elämään tuonut. Jos totta puhutaan, niin Nightwish ja Floorin some-jutut ovat ainakin minua kovasti auttaneet näinä aikoina. Floor on kuin ystävä minulle (mielikuvitusystävä 😵), joten tuo sairaustapaus oli pieni shokki. Mutta oletan, että hän lienee tulossa Kiteelle jo ensi viikolla. Ja Tuomas, "Stonehenge" olisi huikea nimi Nightwishin biisille, eikö? Markon lähtö oli yllätys ja paha isku. Hänen roolinsa on ollut merkittävä viime aikoina. Tulit raottaneeksi vähän myös paluuovea. No, saapi nähä. Minulla on lippu virtuaalikeikoille, joilla en ole koskaan ollut. Toivotaan, että kaikki sujuu hyvin. Ja lopuksi, Tuomas, nyt ollaan niin kaukana kommenttiketjussa, ettei näitä kukaan lue. Kerro mulle uuden basistin nimi. Lupaan, etten kerro muille. ⛄😜
En minäkään kerro.
@@KristiinaBerg Hehheh! 😅👍
Mun veikkaus on edelleen et Vänskä hoitais rundin mut saapa nähdä kuka se lopulta on. Se olis omasta mielestä luonnollisin ratkaisu mut voinhan olla toki väärässä.
Voihan tässä tuuraavassa basistissa olla se et katotaan rundien jälkeen haluaako Marko takas ja sit otetaan jos haluaa. 😊
@@chaoszine Aholan Jakkeahan sitä on veikkailtu. Enpä tiijä, hyvin on pysynyt salassa tähän asti.
@@pekkakarppinen1608 mä sain haastiksesta fiiliksen et on etitty vaa basistia eikä laulajaa. Saapa nähdä. 😊
Good therapy to do things constructive. Good for the spirit. Re energizes the creative juices. Like a new beginning. Fresh and new. Good vibes and good health. Strive for Ballance. Keep a positive attitude. Look on the bright side but keep realistic.😁👍🤘🎶❤️ Much love to all of you.
Tuomas & Arto. Kiitos. FI.
Thank you...lovely interview ❤
Thanks for the interview. It always amazed me how he talks and how he tryes to keep a positive attitude about everything and it makes me happy hearing that he has more to say musically. Thank you, stay safe 🤘😁🤘
So happy for this interview. Thanks
Thank you for such a great interview! Was little painful and eager to learn anything that adds anything to Marko's leaving. Hard questions that ought to be asked. Thank you! Really good job
I'll be at the Islanders Arms with my 6yr old whose been a fan since her conception.
Wonderful interview! As usual 🥰🙏
Well it certainly looks like a very bright future now. Tuomas in creative mode, new energy from a new bassist - Floor planned her surgery very well😅 and have been keeping her voice well oiled, Kai is also ready and busy on YT and drums.
Very bright future 👍🤘🤘
Tuomas is one of the greatest of the modern musical composers. He hit the nail on the head when called this worldwide catastrophic event “nonsense.” We shouldn’t give any credence to it or allow it to affect our music in any way. I am glad Floor is feeling better in time for the virtual show. It’s sad to see Tuomas agonize over Marko leaving and having to replace him. I am glad that Nightwish is going to continue. Thank you for this interview in English. The interviewer was very good and respectable. I only found out about Nightwish a couple of years ago, and the upcoming virtual concert will be my first. I hope to attend an actual live concert soon when they come to the United States!
Thank you such good interview
Seeing this interview immediately lifted my spirits. Its so good to see Tuomas again! Staying positive (as much as one can be) with the current circumstances is so important...that info drop at the end is a fantastic way to end the interview, I now have something else to look forward to in the future! 😁 kiitos!
Thanks for the awesome interview and your time Tuomas, I have only recently discovered Nightwish (6months ago)and this band has a phenomenal ability to evolve and over come any obstacles , looking forward to hearing your new master pieces, all the best Could you come to NEW ZEALAND if the bubbles ever pop
Thanks once again
I knew it 😂 NW never give up 😂.
They passed so many changes in their line ups and always return with beautiful music and good vibes 💓.
See you next 🤗 in 28 of May.
Thank you for this interview, very very clever and interesting questions from you and bright answers from Tuomas.
You make my day!!!!
Thuomas Holopainem ele e uma lenda , grande musico 👍👏👏
Hes top bloke the legend the metal mozart im in uk huge nightwish fan got all cds dvds rareities .long live this amazing band
So glad to see Tuomas optimistic about the future and continue with Nightwish 😊❤
@@tuomasholopainen1030 And who are you supposed to be?? You're definitely not Tuomas himself...
Good interview, greetings from Italy!
A really interesting interview. Thanks!
props to Arto for bringing the hot potato, he skillfully handled what we ALL wondered, and to Tuomas, how unique a man is he? These were obviously painful areas to get through yet he didn't back away, quite a revealing interview.
This was a really good interview 🎉
Great interview. Working on a new album already, recording studio booked for 2023, temporary base player already fit in. Great news. I love Thomas' positivity, very inspiring. Nightwish will go on, for at least the next decade. Keep it coming guys.
Tää oli kyllä hienoja uutisia sisältävä haastattelu, kiitos! ☺️
Fine interview! Tuomas, your smile keeps us ok.
2:35 that Elder Scrolls cup is the best
AWESOME
IT IS!! I backed the interview up just so I could make sure that’s what I saw! 😆🙌🏼
Thank you for Shoemaker. Its extra special, for me even more so than GLS or Storytime
Very interesting interview ...
this was very good interview and im happy you speaking english and every body fans in the world understand much better what saying :) thanx both and have great summer soon.
Thanks 😊🤘
Just got my ticket. Love from Japan!
@@k.l.7788 Lol thanks. I've been using it for the past 15+ years when I was playing mmorpgs. Not many people figure out the meaning :)
So many meanings 😆
"So many more melodies we want to share with the world.." Fuckin awesome!!!
Good interview by Arto. And Tuomas continues to be a fascinatingly pensive interviewee.
oh my god I love Hows The Heart so freaking much I was feeling the emotions in that song I lvoe your music so much over the years, super huge fan favorite musician ever.
Still fascinating that he's returned to his old stomping grounds in Darkwoods My Betrothed full time. That was a really nice piece of news.
Never forget where you came from.
Very interesting information here, thank you. Especially the news about a new album. Although I'd like an album a bit more often than every 4-5 years.
2023 looks reaally far away lol but still nice to hear that Nightwish is still going
@Marko L1977 Yeah, I understand, still a big gap. I was hoping for a smaller one since there's been so much time of reclusion and reflection, but I guess other side projects have the same priority now.
Kiitos!
Kiitos paljon Tuomas ja KaaosTV. Tiedän kokemuksestani, kun jäsen lähtee, se on tuhoisa, mutta jotenkin se toimi hyvin. Esimerkiksi kun Jukka lähti ja Kai tuli, tai kun Floor tuli, Nightwishilla oli erilainen dynamiikka, ja mielestäni Floorinäänitteillä Nightwish kuulosti paremmin. Rakastan Jukka koska hän on hämmästyttävä rumpali ja hyväsydäminen henkilö. ja Kai (Kai koska wintersun !!!) Anyway... I hope you gonna come Helsinki side soon and give us a great gig for us the less fortunate which is difficult to go to another city!
Nightwish lost an amazing bassist and vocalist, but he will be always their true friend in "endlessness".
That's the most important gift that they can get. ❤️
Thanks for your love and support i really appreciate, your comments have made me known to the world so dear great fans words are not enough to express my gratitude.
@@tuomasholopainen1030 sorry but: are you the real Tuomas or are you a fan?
@@humannature2583 I'm the real Tuomas not a fan, i know you will be shock to get a message from me but trust me this is nothing to me because we are all equal in the hands of God I'm just have a good time that's why i reply your message because i really like your comments.
@@tuomasholopainen1030 interesting. But I'm still skeptical, because I think the real Tuomas would not say "in the hands of god". He (or you) is not religios (I'm not, too). The photo you choose can get everybody from Google.
I really think, that we're all the same in this little big universe, so I'm not shocked (ok, perhaps a little bit). But there are so much people, who abuse the identity of famous people for whatever... And that's a shame. I'm shure, you understand me, that I'm skeptical.
@@humannature2583 I know what you are trying to say but trust me you will delete it after i have sent you a message on your mail just for security purpose don't worry about this i will tell you what to do whenever you received a message from any fake accounts privately on your mail.
The wheels carry us, fans, on music and artistry of combination of ppl in nightwish. Line up of a band changes but the vehicle of Nightwish never stopped, we had the privilage to experience 3 awesome singers bringing uniqe perspective, changes of members and struggle formed today's Nightwish and I am just happy I can be here, watch and listen (scream it in the car 😂🤣🚙)... I am gonna miss Marco tremendously. But I will stand by and with this band till the end till the music is still there ❤️
Thanks for your love and support i really appreciate, your comments have made me known to the world so dear great fans words are not enough to express my gratitude.
Though I completely understand that nothing can be done about it, hearing that we will never get to hear Endlessness live hurt so much 😥
YAY a new nightwish album in the pipe line. great news.
Im so waiting the virtual show ...time goes soo slow
Seriously 😞 Can't wait!
One on the best things what happened because Covid-19 is at we get finally new Darkwoods My Betrothed album. All the boys back together including Tuomas. I'm very pleased and waiting anxiously new album. 👌😎 🖤
Night Wish will never be the same
We saw a relaxed Tuomas up to 13:55 then “the Marko question” - uncomfortable until 15:55 and he says “enough of that”. Hmm... 🤔
16:18 - 16:28 Tuomas was looking away when you mentioned losing Marko was a particularly “big blow to the band because Marko’s role was quite important to the band”.
You did a great job interviewing him in a respectful way, I think that’s why Tuomas revealed the 10th album studio news with you. It sounds like NW continues... another chapter of the NW journey!
I have a ticket to the virtual show and also to the 29.12 consert🤘
same but my concert is on 19.12 :) I Hope!
Mine is October 🙂🙌🏼🤞🏼🤘🏼fingers crossed for us all!
Floor also said that it was interesting .She also said something like awe also.
I hope we do get to hear Endlessness. Floor has the vocal range and ability to switch between styles that would make it work.
Confirmation we will never hear Enlessness live :( We already knew but still...
Never say never. "There is always something fresh and inspiring when a new band member comes in".
Can't wait untill November Amsterdam Ziggo Dome 💪💪💪 twice. Greetings from The Netherlands, we need some windmills from Floor !!!
Ja en hopelijk gaat de solo show van Floor in Afas Amsterdan in september ook nog door.
I saw That show In The hague, my sister bought tickets because she knew I liked Floor Jansen. Last live show I saw on the first of February 2020. En dan in het Nederlands he. Den Haag is reteduur om the parkeren.
@@corneliusantonius3108 ik heb haar eerste show in Nijmegen gezien. Was top
@@mraijmann59 Met haar familie daar, dat was mooi kan ik me voorstellen.
@@corneliusantonius3108 ja, haar ouders waren er ook en ze zong een duet met haar zus Irene.
Imagine if this virtual show would be recorded with all those cg stuff. That would be sick
❤
I hope the 10th album is heavier than Human Nature, and interesting that the bass player is a session player and not permanent very strange hoping for a Marko return later
Marko will be back. I'm sure of it.
And hopefully Tuomas leaves behind the folk festival era. He has another band for that stuff.
Nightwish will do well again next years im sure. I guess and hope for a final Tour around 2025 to 2030. (*Stop it aslong its great...!!)
Nightwish, we are so wait you with Marko in Minsk 2021! Please, come!!! Nightwish - the best group!!!!!!!
🤙
I hope they can make it to LA in October. That said, I would prefer they be safe if they're not sure they should. I do wish I could afford a ticket to the virtual as well as the live, considering the live might not happen.
I need to write them a letter and tell them just how much their music has helped me.
We’re also keeping our fingers crossed for the Boston show.. we’ve already bought tickets.. 😰
@@bronwen4693 Same. I got traveler's insurance on mine, though.
@@bronwen4693 I just looked it up and if an event is canceled, Ticketmaster will refund it.
@@lisafoster4468 oh awesome ty! I’m keeping our fingers crossed for BOTH of us :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m just curious how the absence of Mario will affect the direction of the next album. Will he have Floor and Empuu involved more in the writing? Will he make it more guitar oriented this time, and cut back on the folk melodies? Only time will tell.
Perhaps is it is a idea to open a fund to help technical people in bad times like covid,( i think that it will be staying with us for a long time) so that they can support their families in troubled times, we as a public have enjoy their work on stage, even we dont see them. And not only for the Technical people from Nightwish, but all people. Perhaps made a funds with tickets and cd's selling.
I dont mind for it.
I wonder if the next album will feature a church organ , since he got to play one recently..
Lol Tuomas his face is very readable ❤😂😂
Top Skyrim mug !!!
True introvert :)
I have tickets to the NW concert scheduled for October 5, 2021 in New York City, N.Y. USA, and did not hear any mention of the US shows at all. What is the outlook for those concerts?
I assume they start playing as soon as its possible. There is even 2 Finnish shows for July which are not yet officially cancelled... 😊
@@chaoszine Thanks for getting back to me. Fingers crossed!!
Tuomas make songs that other never can be make in the lirics and the music NightWish is so speciall not one band with out NW can do that .
2:36 Tuomas has a Skyrim mug! 🐉
Viisas mies tuo Tuomas! Lahjakaskin
Wait. What?
(Great!)
