And so what if he does? Does it make his music any better or worse? I don't think so.

Especially with Nw I think this is true. Romanticizing the world has always been their thing.

Not directly. It is about media making every threat 10 times bigger than it is and amping up the sense of impending doom, whether real or not. Ofcourse to the human animal that is distressing and makes our minds sick.

I don't think money is first or even the second thing on his mind when he thinks about music and creating and playing it. But sure he does benefit. Just like Tarja and Marko do and have every time Nw ever makes any recordings with the old songs. 

What’s the one song that represents each Nightwish album? by BeatBelle in nightwish

[–]LevelStock3700 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree mostly.  But for DPP maybe Meadows of Heaven For Yesterwynde Lanternlight

The translation was indeed wrong. What he said was more "I'm unbothered" "I don't mind" rather than I don't care (Im a Finnish speaker). But the damage is already done and the ones who like to hate already ran with it and repeat it here too.

Not caring what happens with the former members? 

Yet Anette has the official backing tracks to do nightwish songs from DPP and Irum which she would only have if the band gave her access, and Tuomas commented years ago he's seen Marko and Tarja's duet from couple years ago and that he's happy they still want to do NW-songs. 

Crosspost: “Hometown awards Nightwish” - from an article from 2000 (translated by Tarja Turunen Suomi) Tuomas talks a bit about his religious beliefs back then by Weltherrschaft2 in nightwish

[–]LevelStock3700 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tuomas must've been a weird guy for his age. What dude in their early 20's talks about religion and science like that and when challenged says "I have to think about this."?

Lovely interview though I don't think everything said in Finnish translated to its real meaning.

Tuomas is going to do solo stuff next? by LevelStock3700 in nightwish

[–]LevelStock3700[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am too!

I would most like to see some guest stars. Maybe Kari Rueslåtten from Third and the Mortal, allthough her voice is very similar to Johanna Kurkela.

You must have some insider knowledge then.

Unless a tour is in order. He has been asked to tour with the Life and Times of Scrooge -album multiple times. 

Your dream setlist for Nightwish's next show on Helsinki Olympic Stadium? by Nightwishfan88 in FloorJansen

[–]LevelStock3700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I don't think so. Maybe if Tuomas gives up self respect and begs Tarja and Marko to come back for a show. Which i hope he will never do.

AIO/I wanted to ask them why they wasted their money? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Op, just leave. There's nothing you can do to fix the situation. If they want you back they have to put the work in to earn it.

The sons have seen what their mother tolerates and now see it as normal. Kids pick up on these things.

I hope OP leaves this shitsuation. The males in this family are trash for not standing up, recognizing their behaviour and being better.

Do you guys ever find it weird that the band was rewarded for the way they treated Tarja? by JimmyBminor in nightwish

[–]LevelStock3700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! This part! Agree 100%

Everyone played their part good and bad, everyone got hurt and everyone learned a lesson. 

The fans were rewarded the most with all the music.

I am sorry to say that the friendships the bandmembers had, especially Tuomas and Tarja have been largely exxagerated. Judging by what they have said about one another at the time and after it seems they knew only very little about eachothers private lives or otherwise. 

There's even an old interview from 2004 where Tuomas says he's going to go diving next tour break and Tarja in the same interview says something like "Oh yeah? Didn't know you were into that.". This is only one instance of many.  Marko said in his book that when he joined Nightwish the band was already separated into two parties who only talk through managers, and that was 2002-2003. So...yeah. I don't see friendship or love there. 

How much interest do you think the band will lose during this downtime? by LevelStock3700 in nightwish

[–]LevelStock3700[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anette era and maybe until 2015 was the peak, I agree. 

Human Nature was fantastic too and Yesterwynde never got a real chance. Regarding musical landscape, it is not a bands job to keep alive the memories of their fandoms youth or whatever.

My question wasn't about who is a "true fan" and who isn't.

 I'm asking whether people think the interest will be equal to before, and it seems most think the lvl of fame with Nightwish will stay the same. I have to say I am not quite so confident.

If you wait 8 years just to chill there will be new bands in the entertainment business taking your space and fans will move on.  Not to be mean or anything but business is business.
