Tuomas Holopainen ci racconta tutte le canzoni del nuovo album dei Nightwish, Imaginaerum, in uscita il 2 dicembre 2011. Leggi la nostra impressione qui: metalitalia.com/articolo/night...
Tuomas is fascinating. He's soooo talented and he creates beautiful music. I do miss Tarja's powerful voice, but the music remained the same on Dark Passion Play. I hope it will remain that way. And it will, if I can judge by Storytime. Keep up the brilliant work Tuomas. :)
Through the eyes of Tuomas i can see his soul....and his soul has a name...called Nightwish...his soul keeps me company every day :) I never believed that there are men in the world like him....& together with Marco (
Tuomas is mesmerizing, his bashfulness when he describes his new album is endearing. He needs no apologies for his music as it is as ALWAYS Exquisite. I rarely feel strongly about music. I have only 2 that touch my soul and draw it out to fly with their music. Nightwish is one and the other ...... well that I shall leave to others imagination. LOVE YOU Tuomas and Nightwish members. Keep doing what you do so well!!
Tuomas on nero, aivan mahtava säveltäjä! And from Finnish to English: Tuomas is a genius and a great composer! Greetings from the Finnish Nightwish fan! Truly, I've listened this ban since I was a little child. I could never stop loving their music! :)
I love this man so much. His talent is beyond huge. In '07 a friend of mine who lives in Helsinki saw Tuomas in a bar. She downed her beer, gathered her sisu, and approached him for an autograph for me. She said he was super nice about it, thought it was cool that I'm from Texas. That autograph means a lot to me because Tuomas is one of the Mozarts or Beethovens of our generation.
Although I just loved the old Nightwish with Tarja, this album is my VERY FAVOURITE album from them... Tuomas is a genius, and the new Nightwish was luckily brave enough to change and not repeating themselves... Epicness...
Listening to a blow-by-blow account of the album that will definitely set the standard for metal albums of the new decade... from the lips of one of those prime examples of Finnish manhood. BEST. VIDEO. EVER.
I really enjoy the variety of styles in the new album ranging from folkish power metal to epic symphonic parts. Also, the progressive parts followed by the epic poem in the Song of myself add their own touch to the brilliant ensemble.
Είστε υπέροχοι ! έχω όλα τα άλμπουμ σας , περιμένω να βγεί το Imaginaerum να το αγοράσω! δεν μου άρεσε η Anette καθόλου αλλά μόλις άκουσα το Storytime...δεν ξέρω...μου άρεσε πολύ αυτό που άκουσα! Ελπίζω να τραγουδάει ο Marco αρκετά τραγούδια... πολύ τον γουστάρω τον τύπο! τρελένομαι για την φωνή του! Greetings from Greece ! Ilove you Nightwish soooooo mutch! i love you Marco & Tuomas! Continue to give us wonderful songs!
"Rest Calm" is a goooood song. In my opinion, I think it's about always keeping the good memories you have about someone that has moved away or passed away. That's just my opinion. You guys probably have a different one.
I have loved Nightwish since their first album hit the United States' shores. And I will be a die-hard Nightwish fan until they no longer define symphonic metal!
I'm SO EXCITED to hear the whole album!! I was really looking forward to it already, but after hearing Tuomas's descriptions of them, I'm even more psyched. Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
At 4:57 he descirbes "Song of Myself" as a homage to the stylized writing of Walt Whitman. I listened to the song through and did not see the connection. Then rereading the words to Whitman's prose piece by the same name, it became clear how a lot of Tuomas's so called 'epic' pieces do in fact mimic Walt's writing style.
I totally agree with Sindory. Tuomas seems really absorbed in what he does... he is definitely a true artist. One who writes music for himself and not for the industry, the money, the bullshit...
I listened to the whole album and boy I have to say it's a MASTERPIECE. It's right there with Oceanborn, if not better. Annette really made a great job this time. Those who hate it simply are deaf or immature teens that listen to crappy bands and can't recognize excellent music. THIS IS ART. NW's best album.
I'll say what I've said on other threads here, I've never, NEVER heard one person in the entire Australian metal community dislike Imaginaerum. The only people you'll ever come across who don't like the album are people who either don't like girls in metal or are purists who believe all metal should be incomprehensible noise to stay as "kvlt" as possible.
@RolandDeschain1 Actually, if I remember correctly, the band themselves thought the title could be too easily confused with or related to other things called Imaginarium so they decided to change it to distinguish it as it's own piece.
I'm looking forward to hear the jazz song because it is completely different from Nightwish. I think all of the album will sound amazing and it will especially make since when the film comes out.
I am really shocked by the ignorance of some people who say Imaginaerum sucks. It's too deep for pigs to comprehend and withstand such a masterpiece. PS: Fan of the band since AFF.
@TheFoufoutos7 I have a serious question to ask you lol might sound stupid..... But, I was planning to go to Greece for the next summer break. However, I then saw footage of tear gas being fired at people in Athens and decided to reconsider. So basically will everything be settled down by May and I wont have to worry about being in the middle of a riot? thanks.
I suppose it's not a language thing. A poet will always speak in an aesthetic way, even the language he/she speaks little. Cuz speaking is a creation of something :)
I've already heard new album, it's a lot better than DPP cause there are songs for Anette voice she can finally sing every song. It has magic that every NW album has. I still miss Tarja and the way how she sings every song, like for the moment there is nothing more than song and you are leading by her voice. I wait for the movie, Tuomas please don't let us waiting long.
Tuomas' eyes are very beautiful.....cant look away, lol.
I have something better: his tongue 4:13
Dirty girl :P
i love the part " the most puppy song is written by the biggest metalhead of the band" it makes me smile so much
Tuomas is fascinating. He's soooo talented and he creates beautiful music. I do miss Tarja's powerful voice, but the music remained the same on Dark Passion Play. I hope it will remain that way. And it will, if I can judge by Storytime. Keep up the brilliant work Tuomas. :)
I still find him magical. I love it. He's genius.
Through the eyes of Tuomas i can see his soul....and his soul has a name...called Nightwish...his soul keeps me company every day :) I never believed that there are men in the world like him....& together with Marco (
rest calm and last ride of the day are two of my absolute favorite songs EVER....really great album

Keep doing what you do so well!!
This man is THE creative force of symphonic metal. A rare, fantastic musician and an artistic legend. Rock on brother!
Tuomas on nero, aivan mahtava säveltäjä! And from Finnish to English: Tuomas is a genius and a great composer! Greetings from the Finnish Nightwish fan! Truly, I've listened this ban since I was a little child. I could never stop loving their music! :)
This man is one of my favorite composers!
Such an awesome personality. No wonder his music is so frikkin good (:
Imaginaerum is a real piece of art!! one of their best ever~~~
Imaginaerum is a very awesome album and the movie was very awesome
I love Tuomas and how talented he is. He's got a very nice voice, too. :)
I've never seen anyone who lives for the music like he does. That is so fascinating... ♥
Great artist, great concept, great albun
Great Tuomas!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the traffic should be stopped when Tuomas speaks. Who dares to drive while the musical genius shares his wisdom with us!?!

I ♥ tuomas and my favorite song of the album is: "slow, love slow" , "storytime" "scaretale", "i want my tears back"
Tuomas is a musical genius how does he compose stuff like that?
He is since 12 years on an acadamy for music
Absolutely love this guy!
Holy shit is this HD or something? Jesus O.O He goes away, clears up, comes back, clears up. Gosh its better quality than with my own eyes O.O
Story of Myself really blew me away, I loved that song, it is truely unique to Nightwish

Tuomas is the man. Look at him ffs, is he actually radiating an aura of genius?!
oh wow I hope the album will be as great and wonderful as I imagine it after hearing this :)
That man is just great.
Holy crap, I would ask him A TON of questions? Which is a whole lot more than many other metal bands. Tuomas is such a genius. Nightwish Rules!!
30's Jazz? Heck Yeah! Although now i really cant wait even more for both the album and the movie.
I totally agree with Sindory. Tuomas seems really absorbed in what he does... he is definitely a true artist. One who writes music for himself and not for the industry, the money, the bullshit...
Thank you! :)
A nice breakdown of the album & its songs....Like it :)
Still cant wait to hold that album in my grubby little mits \m/
I personally like hearing their voices ...
I LOVE HIS EYES
HESOCYUTE! O.O SO SHY! Damn I'm wound up for this album, a month to go....
I listened to the whole album and boy I have to say it's a MASTERPIECE. It's right there with Oceanborn, if not better. Annette really made a great job this time. Those who hate it simply are deaf or immature teens that listen to crappy bands and can't recognize excellent music. THIS IS ART. NW's best album.
Awesome awesome awesome
hehehe I'm going through the album a watching the bit for every song as I go along! It's very interesting.
Want the album and the hat so badly!!!!!!!!!
tuomas' eyes... ♥ ♥
I love the way he pronounces the word, ballad. BAL-LAD.
a SIX AND A HALF minute long poet ?!?! this album will be HUGE =D
I'll say what I've said on other threads here, I've never, NEVER heard one person in the entire Australian metal community dislike Imaginaerum.

0:57 - 1:02 I did a spit-take and drenched my monitor...thanks Tuomas XD
Yes, Taikatalvi means Magic winter but it's also Momin story :)
he has the best facial expressions lol... its like he's letting you in on a secret that he is tellign to nobody else
Yes oh there is so much to that movie that is a little similar…. Do you ever listen to your music for yourself? And other music too
Estou âncsioso para ver este filme Tuomas. Béla trilha sonóra.
release one more PLEASEEEE !! :((
nosa, é maravilhoso ver ese video em hd!xD
I'm looking forward to hear the jazz song because it is completely different from Nightwish. I think all of the album will sound amazing and it will especially make since when the film comes out.
@Dragonfly1Scorpion he's talking about the breakdown part, just after you hear the timpani drums.
check out his eyes!!!!!!!!!they totaly creap me out!!!i loooove him :)
@thavador 'Imaginaerum" like the album.... the album is a soundtrack and the film is based on the album sort of. They're made to go hand in hand.
@yunaavril89 No, aveva scritto solo le tracce dell'album :) Infatti ad un certo punto s'è perso la sequenza ed ha sbirciato
I am really shocked by the ignorance of some people who say Imaginaerum sucks. It's too deep for pigs to comprehend and withstand such a masterpiece.

@Nemsault ......is an honor to learn our history! forgive me for my syntactic errors, but do not speak English well :)
@BurningFlames96 No, aveva scritto solo le tracce dell'album :)

I love Tuomas :Q__
i'm interested in Scaretale and also the Turn Loose the Mermaids, i love Nightwish's ballads
This WILL be the best NW album since Oceanborn. :D
The C part of Storytime practically DID blow the roof off my house. Good god, Tuomas, you should pay for the repairs.
he has an interesting smile.
By C part he means Bridge. As in ABABCBB, a common song structure.
well said.
@majomanak He talks about Slow, Love, Slow being inspired by David Lynch's Twin Peaks.
I love his accent :)
@avengedjusty It's called depth of field. ;-)
Last Ride of the Day : Based off of rollercoasters like the ones in Disneyland.
You got that right. :P
@Ygdrasel What confuses you about it? I think it's one of the best songs they've ever written!
im growing facial hair like him. :) oh yea and i cant wait for the new album! :D
i am so in ove with him....XD
I've already heard new album, it's a lot better than DPP cause there are songs for Anette voice she can finally sing every song. It has magic that every NW album has. I still miss Tarja and the way how she sings every song, like for the moment there is nothing more than song and you are leading by her voice. I wait for the movie, Tuomas please don't let us waiting long.
