Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish) interview 4.10.2007,New NW Vid

[WireFireLighter]

Sometimes I wonder if he was inspired by Jim Morrison...

[XyPhEr5]

someone who writes as beautifully as Tuomas cannot be anything but an awesome human being. I <3 Tuomas:))

[Heartborne7thSeeker]

Here is one for you Toumas!

NIGHTWISH WITH-OUT TARJA IS LIKE THE NIGHT-SKY

WITH-OUT THE MOON AND THE STARS!

[MinnieCinnamon]

You are entitled to your own opinion but I have to disagree. Nightwish are better than ever and Tarja has her own succesful solo career.

[kanokth]

by the way  I think they have did try their best and Tarja is happy for her own good

[BlahSpace]

I don't exactly agree with you, I like old nightwish and new nightwish equally, but Toumas is a dick. Look at that slef satisfied expression on his face. He doesnt give a shit about Tarja any more. He's just bitter and yeah.... So you've heard their latest cd Dark Passion Play? Almost every single song is like a fuck you to tarja and she did absolutely nothing to deserve it.

[Heartborne7thSeeker]

Ahhh! ?????

Dude I don't think you understand my comment!

My comment is ment as a huge FUCK YOU to

Toumas!

so please try to read my comment again! :)

[slyrat53]

Tarja was not only a kickass singer, she was also a very nice and caring person. HAv u seen her with fans at the end of an era tour?personally, I was touched. Cant say i dont like nightwish any more, but i really miss her. Even though i like the Bye bye beatiful song, i think its a shit in da face for tarja-like u said.

[jennythemusicmaker]

That's the last thing Tuomas wants to hear right now you moron. And if you really loved him, you wouldn't spell his name wrongly.

[Heartborne7thSeeker]

I hate toumas you MORON!

[kanokth]

wow I really want to อึ้บ Tuomas very much

[ToriEnsam]

Can anyone translate what was said about Salvdor Dali??

[ToriEnsam]

Doh, sorry ignore that I missed the extra information :)

[nightwish789]

i love his voice *faints*

[NittleGrasperfangirl]

Yep, it was The Islander. It matches the description of the album, and the fact that the setting really does fit the lyrics and song itself.

[gossemerwings]

Ok- since the video for "The Islander" already came out now, do you think he was talking about that one? :)

[FemaleEmppu]

well he has actually been pretty horrible about nightwish and u cant deny, he does do his make-up like a girl.tuomas' make-up is hot though. and ville valo is a creep, u cant say he isnt, but u gotta love him though lol...

[FemaleEmppu]

last comment continued:

tuomas is so thoughtful, kind, beautiful & intelligent. he is such a sweet guy and he's a musical genious! he is the perfect man.ville valo does not compare. he also mocks nightwish.anyone who mocks nightwish is either retarded or jealous because their own band(H.I.M in this case) is not as good.

[FemaleEmppu]

tuomas holopainen is NOTHING like ville valo.i like some of H.I.M's stuff, but ville valo is a bit of a creep & appears to be a little confused about his sexuality.i love guys that wear make-up, i mean tuomas' eyeliner for example is very hot, but ville valo wears womans make-up.seriously, womans make-up.

[MinnieCinnamon]

I don´t mean to offend you in any way.

Both Ville and Tuomas wear make up. And there is NO rivalry between these guys. They are both quite succesfull musicians and songwriters. Ville and Tuomas both have good sense of humour, both their own kind, a bit different. I´ve never seen or heard them mocking each other.

There have been nasty rumours about Ville´s sexual orientation..., but one should not believe everything.

btw. Emppu is great :D

[MannyGrizzly]

I thought he was Ville Valo. They're like twins.

[MinnieCinnamon]

Twins, really...., lol

Ha en bra fortsättning på dan : )

[MinnieCinnamon]

Nightwish's next single off the Dark Passion Play album will be "The Islander". The single will be released on May 21st and will include the following tracks:

1. The Islander

2. Escapist (instrumental version)

3. Meadows Of Heaven (orchestral version)

Additionally, it will also include the videos "The Islander" and "Bye Bye Beautiful".

The "The Islander" video was shot last autumn in Rovaniemi and was directed by Stobe Harju. The video will premiere on April 14th on MTV Finland

[Jackk765]

i herd its the islander

[Sharayonan]

Hope the new single be The Poet and the Pendulum, let´s prey God!!

[slyrat53]

I love that song!

[Zorsha]

I think it should be The Heart I Once Had..i love that song and it would make a good single:0

[twilightcrowflight]

i really want it to be poet and the pendalum!! would be AMAZING. except it's so long =[

it'd better not be sahara or whoever brings the night

[MinnieCinnamon]

At the moment we all just have to guess. But we´ll find out that rather soon though : )

[twilightcrowflight]

isn't he not telling til next year?

[MinnieCinnamon]

At the moment Nightwish has not announced anything official concerning the third video. But soon they will. Just wait a while : )

[DarkestWorld]

it's been found out, the new video is 7 days ! iuppiiiiiiiiiiiii!

[MinnieCinnamon]

Where did you find that out? There is no info about the video on Nightwish official site.

[plii]

well, you can conclude something from that it's made in Lapland and that it goes along well with the lyrics.. bet it's 7 Days To The Wolves

[MinnieCinnamon]

Well I though so too, but usually I just don´t want to guess...

[pequeniodralam]

i will like to know how say it

[MinnieCinnamon]

What would you like to say?

[pequeniodralam]

about what is he saying, i dunno Finland language :S

[swanheart84]

ı watched when she was singing nemo in her moscow concert solo was horrible and sound was not better than Nightwish and I think this is not ethic because Nightwish is playing this song in their tour...

[fcaneta]

for you information Tarja is already singing Nightwish songs live...ON HER OWN!!!!

AND THEY SOUND BETTER THAN EVER!! :p

[MinnieCinnamon]

I do know that. She has her own concert here in Finland 8-12-2007.

I´m glad if she sounds good. She has an amazing voice. But I´m not into this comparison who is better...

[Cloacamaxim]

So.. It turned out to be Last of The Wilds :)

[MinnieCinnamon]

Next Nightwish-single "Erämaan Viimeinen" (Last Of The Wilds) will be released on 5th of December in Finland. "Erämaan Viimeinen" is a finnish language song, performed by Jonsu from Indica. Actually, "Erämaan Viimeinen" is the same song as the instrumental "Last Of The Wilds" from DPP, but with finnish lyrics.

[darkX15]

The moon....salvador dali.....Whoever brings the night??

[damslam]

i hope tuomas says no she cant sing there songs.

[MinnieCinnamon]

Likewise

[Crimsonneverland]

yes, I don't think Tarja deserves to sing Tuomas' songs...it feels kind of... unfair.

[MinnieCinnamon]

I feel the same way, unfair....

[nathaniell84]

well, thoese songs belong to tuomas not tarja

but i dislike to hear them from anette's voice and that would be an occasion to hear them from tarja ... i'm happy about it

i think tuomas actually enjoy that idea

(scz my grammar)

[slapptorsk]

well it must be "7 days to the wolves" or "The wilds"

[kathakano360]

MinnieCinnamon: were you filming the telly??

kudoz for the effort!

[MinnieCinnamon]

Part of it, yes. I added clips of the music videos Amaranth and Bye, Bye Beautiful in it.

[damslam]

hey... tarja wants to perform nightwish songs on her live shows?

[MinnieCinnamon]

Yes, Tarja Turunen has announced, that she is going to perform some old Nightwish songs on her own tour (music & lyrics by Tuomas Holopainen).

[HaloPcSimpsonsTV]

WHAT!?? BIATCH!!!!!!!!!!(Tarja)

[MinnieCinnamon]

Only they can answer that question. BUT this is not the first nor the last time in music history.

[swanheart84]

Did she ask for permission than tuomas?ı think he musn't give permission. all the songs are Nightwish's songs and anette is singing now.

[MinnieCinnamon]

I don´t know....

Those songs have a copywrite. And when there is a copywrite, you can´t use songs without permission of the composer. Like in advertisments, movies etc.

[Moonsorrow84]

You can play songs on stage..without asking for permission or copyrights. Tarja can sing them

[damslam]

can anyone translate? and is it true that thier not gonna play master passion greed live?

[MinnieCinnamon]

Sorry, but at the moment I´m rather busy with my work, so this just have to wait...

Nightwish were shooting their new video in Rovaniemi, Finland. According to Tuomas Holopainen the 3rd video is like Lapland meets Salvador Dali.

[damslam]

thank u. but do u know what the next single is?

[MinnieCinnamon]

Well, everyone is just guessing... Nobody really knows, except Tuomas and NW ; )

[TheHiddenLily]

They invited Troy Donockley for the videoshoot... that rules out every song in which Troy doesn't play. And Last of the Wilds, sadly, 'cause it doesn't have lyrics.

[Niniel88]

Don't know why but I thought there would be a video for "Eva" (as it was a single) but no... Weird. :-( Maybe this new mysterious video will be "7 Days of the Wolves", possible, but I would have thought of "Cadence of her last breath", don't know why...^^'

[VitoZZZru]

Perphaps it is 7 Days to the Wolves???

[villesangel69]

This is awesome!

[titom12]

And why doesn´t he want to play the song live? Is there a specific reason for this decision!?

[MinnieCinnamon]

Do you mean: Master Passion Greed? If so, because that song is about Marcelo (Tarja´s husband and manager)

[cornixregina]

then does that not kind of mean they shouldn't play Bye Bye Beautiful either as that is about Tarja?

[MinnieCinnamon]

They have already played Bye Bye Beautiful live.

[cornixregina]

I know but am surprised they (Tarja and Marcelo) haven't stopped them from doing it live since it is about Tarja

[MinnieCinnamon]

Well, Bye Bye Beautiful is a Nightwish song, though it´s about Tarja (music & lyrics by Tuomas Holopainen).

Now Tarja Turunen has announced, that she is going to perform some old Nightwish songs on her own tour (music & lyrics by Tuomas Holopainen). So....

[Oceanwhisperer]

is the video for master passion greed?

[MinnieCinnamon]

Hardly, because Tuomas said that Nightwish are NEVER going to play that song live. Guess, we all just have to wait ; )

[Oceanwhisperer]

r they shooting the video for the new single? i though the next one was MPG?

[MinnieCinnamon]

Tuomas said here:

Initially we didn´t mean to make the 3rd video, a follow up to videos Amarant and Bye Bye Beautiful. But when the City of Rovaniemi approached us and offered the opportunity, we just had to jump at the chance.

[DrCrenos]

thx for the post, i hope i kno wen they make the vid so i can watch it

[MinnieCinnamon]

Same here : )

[MinnieCinnamon]

Nightwish were shooting their new video in Rovaniemi, Finland. According to Tuomas Holopainen the 3rd video is like Lapland meets Salvador Dali.
