  • Yes, yes he dose, thats what makes him epic!

  • Tuomas' attire is the most interesting to me. Does he wear makeup and a tophat every day?

  • He is such an original...i really like this guy! And he loves Donald Duck just as i do. ;)

  • 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...

  • I love his accent :)

  • Last Ride of the Day : Based off of rollercoasters like the ones in Disneyland.

    You got that right. :P

  • hehehe I'm going through the album a watching the bit for every song as I go along! It's very interesting. 

  • "Blow the roof away from your house, hopefully."

    Not yet, but it sure got the stereo in our F-350 to thump quite nicely, on the ride home from the music store! <3

  • its funny how his english is better than 99% of Americans who are born here in the states.

  • @Khachik2003 ... I would hate to live in your part of the US. .__.;

  • *_*

    

  • So just heard the weird jazz-ish track...And I'm confused.

  • @Ygdrasel What confuses you about it? I think it's one of the best songs they've ever written!

  • @SethTomlinson

    Well, it couldn't POSSIBLY be that it's a random out-of-place jazz track from a symphonic power metal band that jars the listener by being completely disjointed from the rest of the album...

  • @Ygdrasel No need to be condescending... I was just wondering why the song confused you. I happen to disagree. I think it fits in the album perfectly. The difference in style doesn't make it feel disjointed to me.

  • @Ygdrasel you just didnt get the concept of the album. and i feel really sad for you for not being able to appreciate the work of art that, that album is.

  • @rahulgabrielle

    What the fuck are you talking about? Do you have diarrhea of the mind or are you just legitimately stupid? First of all, this wasn't a concept album, there is no storyline. Second of all, who the fuck said I don't appreciate it? Ignorant little twat.

  • @Ygdrasel wow, such rage and passion... tuomas will be really proud. keep it up...

  • @rahulgabrielle

    Rage is an unfortunate symptom of this medical condition where I have a low tolerance for stupid bullshit.

  • @Ygdrasel wow, such passion... tuomas will be really proud. keep it up...

  • God and Midas of symphonic metal...

  • 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!!

  • his voice is so sexy @_@ i love finnish people

  • Rebelión - ALTA INTENSIDAD

  • He said Metallica. Just pointing that out.

  • He makes really funny faces. I find it... disturbing.

  • wow... he's got english down pat.

  • Tuomas if you don't come to Australia for the Imaginaerum tour I will be very dissapointed! I will probably cry haha, I want to see Nightwish live so fucking bad.

  • Imaginaerum is a real piece of art!! one of their best ever~~~

  • He speaks better English than some people I know! :D

  • 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. 

  • This guy is a music genius imaginaerum is a masterpiece

  • Oh my God, His eyes at 0:11...

  • Can we get Tuomas to run for President of America in 2012? I mean, can someone get this to happen? Because I'm voting for him regardless.

  • @JLConawayII I couldn't agree more! XD

  • Haha no shit, marco did a beautiful work there with The crow, the owl and the dove. :)

  • My hero!And yes,he is talking to me..:)!

  • "which will..... BLOW THE ROOF AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE!!!.........hopefully"

  • fucking cars!

  • tuomas olet nero

  • like his style !!

  • I just love it :)

  • KING DIAMOND DID IT FIRST.

  • i love tuomas but he needs to stop wearing makeup

  • He's looking at me.

  • Is imitating Tuomas's dress sense a good idea?

  • @pireninja Probably not.

    Tuomas can rock a top hat and mascara like nobody else.

  • Tuomas is the man. Look at him ffs, is he actually radiating an aura of genius?!

  • that noise of when they adjust the focus... annoying!!!!!.. there is something called "sync sound!"

    Tuomas amazing as always though!

  • He has a good make-up artist! lol Love the album btw

  • I love how there are birds chirping in the background.

  • i am so in ove with him....XD

  • jack sparrow of metal

  • I really love this album!!

  • He looks like Johny Depp...

  • Story of Myself really blew me away, I loved that song, it is truely unique to Nightwish

  • 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.

  • Tuomas 'Beethovan' Holopainen!!!

    My inspiration!

  • i m so in love with you Tuomas <333333

  • Maestro Holopainen eres un mago de la musica,gracias por hacerme soñar!!!

  • The best thing about "Song of Myself" is that it's exactly 13:37. Therion did the same thing a few years back, I think it's a conspiracy.

  • he has the best facial expressions lol... its like he's letting you in on a secret that he is tellign to nobody else

  • i totally agree with the guy below, He inspired me towards music, and stands as my greatest influence

  • Comment removed

  • This man is THE creative force of symphonic metal. A rare, fantastic musician and an artistic legend. Rock on brother!

  • 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

  • @avengedjusty thats called auto-focus in the camera :)

  • @avengedjusty It's called depth of field. ;-)

  • its like he is actually talking to YOU!

  • @rahulgabrielle I know, he can see inside my soul.

  • Stoaked

    

  • Awesome awesome awesome

  • 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.

  • simply genius im so big fun of tuomas..

  • Absolutely love this guy! <3

  • I ♥ tuomas and my favorite song of the album is: "slow, love slow" , "storytime" "scaretale", "i want my tears back"

  • This is so fascinating! I just wish that they had given him more depth of field to move if he was going to lean in and out. The camera takes too long to adjust the focus, and you can hear the lens. I found it rather distracting.

  • "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 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.

  • He is so fascinating to listen to!

  • probably my comment will get eliminated or flagged as spam but still Im going to say this: LISTEN TO PROGRESIVE MUSIC PEOPLE it opens a whole new musical world, don't get me wrong I'm a die hard metalhead but also a musician.

  • @kuntscabanalfuk I think you shouldn't shove your opinion down people's throats and if you don't like the band, don't comment.

  • @kuntscabanalfuk Not metal? Just because this band brings some variety into the genre they aren't metal? I would certainly take Nightwish over the boring riff-chugging that most metal bands do.

  • 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...

  • Comment removed

  • @MrNightwish88 I'm with you. I was fairly disappointed in the album too especially after hearing great things about it. I like Dark Passion Play much better. I liked Storytime, Last Ride Of The Day, I Want My Tears Back, and a couple of others but that's it. Most of the album I didn't like. Anette sounded creepy in Scaretale and 1 other song sounded like something you would hear from a lounge singer.

  • why is he painting his eyes?

  • @DevilOnHog Because it's awesome?

  • @DevilOnHog It's metal...

  • Snowflake-theme huh? Is that also what inspired the design for the Imaginaerum necklace-pendent?

    ...one of a dozen items i wish i could buy....

  • I love the way he pronounces the word, ballad. BAL-LAD. <3

  • I love Tuomas and how talented he is. He's got a very nice voice, too. :)

  • 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!!

  • @JadedMysteria Truer words were never spoken about Tuomas!

  • Tuomas <3

  • I don't like your recent job, Tuomas, sorry! Slow llove slow???? Love??? Is this love???

  • @jsharkova2 who cares, by the way, may be this is the way it should be....

  • 1 day!!!!

  • i've watched this a few times now just to hear his voice.

  • 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!

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

  • Such an awesome personality. No wonder his music is so frikkin good (:

  • omg tuomas' eyes *__*

  • omg they're actually ganna do a song in finnish? :D

  • @LucidWhispers already done that

  • That man is just great.

  • i didn't exactly understand: WHAT will blow your roof up?

  • @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 :) <3

  • Tuomas NEVER stop making Music

    Your songs makes me stronger

    You are my Idol ♥

    PS: you've got beautiful eyes

  • very excited for the album, and this vid makes me even more interested to see how he creates his vision

  • Comment removed

  • Tuomas is talking about Song Of Myself for longer than a minute, must be HUGE! (I heard the two samples of song of myself, its f*cking heavy!!)

  • Ow shoot, the "greater than" sign was changed in my prev comment * sigh *

  • Tuomas - Dracula in every way!

  • He looks like Dracula

  • Hm... i want the hat! :3

  • what movie is he talking about? Rölli ja metsänhenki with metal soundtrack? =P

  • @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.

  • nai morh elladara!! WE WANT TO SEE YOU IN GREECE WE LOVE YOU!!

  • I dont whats the big deal with Tuomas's eyes.Theyre gray thats it.I have gray eyes.Gray eye color is common in Finland.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 4:28 his eyes!!! xD asldkjfalskjdfasdfa I fucking love Tuomas and Nightwish :')

  • I love Tuomas :Q__

  • 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. :)

  • @Wantar The new album is way, way better than Dark Passion play.

    I actually did not like DPP, like at all. Some songs were good but it was way too pop and weird. But it was exploration so I respect that.

    This one is different too, but so much better.

  • I've never seen anyone who lives for the music like he does. That is so fascinating... ♥

  • @Sindory check out Freddie Mercury.

  • @Sindory he is a tosser

  • He is so sexy!

  • Holy shit! it's Christian Bale!

  • @kevingthompson13 oh dont like Nightwish experimenting? You obviously dont know what pop is.

  • @SymphonyOfSword2Swan UH, this single release is pretty much that and many many people are saying this. There is money in pop and not so much in symphonic metal. It is a business.

  • @kevingthompson13 Lol thats cool, I didnt know pop music has orchestras and choirs and special instruments in the songs. I wonder why Katy Perry and Hannah Montana dont have orchestras and choirs in their song :) hmm one thing here.. I just don't know how Anette's natural voice just got placed into a music genre...thats weird...

  • @kevingthompson13 yeah not to be rude or anything, but how did you come across that Storytime is rap?? O.o

  • @SymphonyOfSword2Swan Its the cadence of the lyrics that define it that way and that is exact music science.I dont think they thought about that when this was produced which was a huge gaffe considering Toumas graduated from music college. Def Leppard did some stuff on EUPHORIA that fit into the same category and it was actually really good, but they wernt thinking about that when it was produced either. Mostly Im just scratching my head and trying to figure out what they are meaning here.

  • the most poppy song in the album is compossed by the most metal head dude in the band..

    LOL how he says that!

    4:20

  • he says jazz funny :D

  • he has an interesting smile.

  • huy no hay derecho a estar tan bueno en la vida por Dios!!!!!!

  • I have a feeling the album is going to be amazing, the film a total load of shit but probably enjoyable nonetheless.

  • @majomanak He talks about Slow, Love, Slow being inspired by David Lynch's Twin Peaks.

  • What is he saying between 1:53 and 1:57

  • @majomanak Tuomas says "Very Twin Peaks....very David Lynch". Twin Peaks was an American television series that followed the murder investigation of teenager Laura Palmer. David Lynch was co-creator of the series.

  • oh wow I hope the album will be as great and wonderful as I imagine it after hearing this :)

  • Being as involved with these bands as I am, Im just gonna step up and say it, for a work from maybe the top band of this type in the whole world; who had 2 full years to compose, write, and get it together.....it comes across as in our faces and cheap! And I really hope the rest gets better, but with at least one of the others being a JAZZ track? Are they at home? Are they not a symphonic metal band? This is commercial POP. Its a fine time to do an experimental cd. Others will aggree.

  • HEY JERK......and you were one of the ones complaining so loudly a couple of years ago that Dark Passion Play was COMMERCIAL. I caught loads of crap because I felt like it was actually pretty brilliant. SO MUCH SO, that they will never equal it. Kinda like Pink Floyd; Dark Side of the Moon. That band recorded other albums.....but really, after that, there was no other Pink Floyd. Toumas painted himself into one hell of a corner. Rush did 9 great albums because they didnt want any awesome ones.

  • @kevingthompson13 Lmao...Talking to me? If so here's a protip; try using "reply". Yea, I never said anything negative about DPP--but if you find this "complaint" of mine, tell me where to find it. BTW, nice try at a backhanded compliment to Nightwish after you just made yourself look like an ignorant dick. Seems you are trying to divert attention and make yourself look less dumb. You didn't. FYI, you can listen to Dark Passion Play all you want...it won't vanish at the release of Imaginaerum.

  • @TheReservoirTip Dude, I ATE DINNER WITH THIS BAND and Marco is a great personal friend. This song is still BAD. For a 4min Nightwish compare: go back to 1) NEMO, and 2) Amaranthe. Those songs were very deep, comprehensive, and composed. The 4 min there seemed like 8. Here it seems like 2. I mean if it were Katy Perry or Taylor Swift ok, BUT COMMON this is the band FORMERLY KNOWN AS NIGHTWISH.Marco thought that remark was hilarious.Hes nervous.Its why hes working so hard with TAROT.

  • @kevingthompson13 Likely story....and seriously, the CAPS thing is really dumb. Before you hit caps again, notice how I didn't say that I personally loved the new song. However, I won't discredit the whole band over it, I won't call them out as confused sellouts nor will I attempt to belittle anyone who might fucking love the song/album despite the fact that I don't. BTW, you still look really dumb. CAPSCAPSCAPS RAWR!!! I R YELL IN TEXT

  • @TheReservoirTip THIS ISNT CAPS......ITS JUST ALL IN YOUR IMAGINARIUM! At least we have Marco doing work writing/producing/and playing for his own band TAROT, and Emmpu is a guest player for around 6 bands now. Annette will be doing some work for Alyson Avenue over the winter, and Julius has been asked by 2-3 bands to come with them and he did do tryouts with them all. One thing that I saw first hand with DPP was that for once they seemed together like a family.Now its like a disfunctional one.

  • Comment removed

  • HAVE YOU PEOPLE SEEN STORYTIME? Its bad. Its not Nightwish. Its way short, its a rap song more than it is a symphonic metal song. His track descriptions are even scarier. They are all over the place. Metallica, JAZZ, pop metal. PICK A THEME PLEASE. In all this time he has not put together a bad album.Maybe hes due.Maybe the COMMERCIAL SUCCESS of Dark Passion Play got to him....and his wallet. Storytime is a tv ad for Cirque De Soliel, THINK ABOUT THAT.I know them, this is hard, but its true.

  • @kevingthompson13 Jesus Christ...stfu you stupid fuck. Don't like it? Then don't fucking listen to it. Don't piss and moan because other people might enjoy it. God fucking forbid that might happen. Nobody really gives a shit about what you have to say with your CAPS either....just makes you look like an 8 year old girl kicking and screaming because she didn't get a pony for her birthday or some shit like that. THINK ABOUT THAT.....fucking 'tard.

  • This man is one of my favorite composers!
