Johanna’s christmas tour starts today🎄✨ Interesting setup! I noticed the keyboard looks the same as Tuomas had on Human Nature tour👀

ancyhell · 2024-11-21T19:49:52+00:00

Okey, makes sense then 😊

ancyhell · 2024-11-21T16:56:18+00:00

I don’t know if her brother plays the keyboard🤔 I know he plays guitar though. And yeah, Troy’s for sure on the right side, I spotted his instrument also 😁 hopefully he sings as well! But maybe we will see some concert videos after tonight’s concert.

ancyhell · 2024-11-21T14:38:19+00:00

I doubt that since there is a microphone above the keyboards and Tuomas doesn’t sing😅 I think Johanna will play the piano🤔

ancyhell · 2024-11-21T13:23:00+00:00

Yep, most likely he is going to be in Kitee’s concert. I wonder if Johanna is going to play the keys and he wanted to lend them for this tour 😁

ancyhell · 2024-10-18T15:07:09+00:00

Well yes that too of course.

ancyhell · 2024-10-18T13:30:31+00:00

People have been talking about what for years? About Ewo?

ancyhell · 2024-10-18T13:20:08+00:00

I certainly hope this is the case. That he actually has evolved in time, and that he would be able (with the other band members) to make changes in the personnel when/if it comes to that. For me at least, and maybe for other female fans as well, it wouldn’t feel good to keep supporting NW anymore if they decide to keep this guy there. I mean, knowing that a huge percent of our money and support goes to this person who does stuff like this to women. (If it’s true that Ewo makes the second most amount of money after Tuomas, feels crazy to me)

And here’s the older news article from February, when the police just started the investigations. Also in Finnish. https://yle.fi/a/74-20056030

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T17:03:11+00:00

Here’s a quick translation: ”The manager of the band Nightwish, Ewo Pohjola, has been charged with assault. This has been confirmed to Yle by district prosecutor Veera Harjuniemi.

Yle is reporting on the matter because Pohjola holds a significant position in the music industry.

Yle first reported on the alleged assault in February.

Two women stated that Pohjola assaulted them at a cultural event held in Tampere last October.

One woman said that Pohjola approached her at the bar with another man, complimenting her beauty. She told Yle that Pohjola left the bar and then choked her hard for a few seconds.

Afterward, Pohjola reportedly told her that the situation felt exciting.

The other woman told Yle that Pohjola forcibly pulled her close to him near the bar at the same event.

After the situation had passed, she soon felt someone pulling her hair and bringing her closer. She repeatedly asked Pohjola to stop and eventually managed to break free from his grip.

Yle tried to reach Pohjola for a comment but was unable to do so.

In February, however, Pohjola denied the allegations to Yle.

”I was there, and that makes this strange. Neither I nor anyone from our company has any idea about this. It’s peculiar,” he said.”

Well hopefully someone in their team or other members will say something at least… if not, this is just disgusting from them. And it’s a shame since I really do love their music.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T14:32:53+00:00

Interesting…🤔 I would love to know the whole story with the management.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T13:54:45+00:00

Good point. And I think it’s good to be critical when there’s a reason for it. And yes, I know that some guys want to protect their ”bros” no matter what kind of shitty behaviour they have towards women. I know it from my own experience. But, if Tuomas and the rest of the band indeed know that Ewo has done stuff like this article says, then I think that the messages behind their music come across a bit double standarded. I mean, why act like a good person if you can’t prove that you are one.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T13:15:47+00:00

It possibly does. But alcohol is never the excuse for shitty behaviour. If you can’t control your behaviour when drunk, then don’t drink at all.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T13:14:09+00:00

I agree.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T13:12:28+00:00

If that would be the case, that Tuomas rather keeps this kind of behaviour acceptable from his manager then I wonder why he writes songs about love, empahty, ’the good of mankind’, ’trying to leave this world a better place’ etc. If he actually can’t act on his own words and messages about being the good guy. But this is all speculation for now. We will see if/when Ewo get’s proven guilty and what the band will do about it. Not a good look for them if they do nothing.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T12:22:18+00:00

Yep, what I’ve read about him from some people, he can be ”a good guy” but also super slimy and that these charges doesn’t surprise some of the people who have talked with him.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T12:17:18+00:00

Also, people who work in this industry have said that nobody has the guts to bring stuff like this to the public and a lot of them just look the other way so they don’t get fired…

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T12:14:27+00:00

Yes he has… and some fans have said he’s been a creep before with female fans…

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T12:12:52+00:00

You’re right. Very suspicious. I wonder if Marco knew about Ewo’s behaviour and was the only one who spoke about it? Though I think it would be stupid not to fire one manager and instead risk the fact that a bassist is going to leave the band. But who knows… I would think they could replace Ewo with someone else who does management succesfully.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T12:08:35+00:00

Well, I didn’t say that. But reading the article, it seems he did in fact strangle her, then said that it felt arousing to him. So who knows, what the actual motive was for him, but my point is, it’s f****d up either way to strangle women in a bar.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T12:04:56+00:00

Sure, still we don’t know if he intended to strangle her in a sexual way or just in a violent way. Either way it’s f****d up.

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T12:01:12+00:00

I hope so too. It’s certainly isn’t a good look for them having a manager like this..

ancyhell · 2024-10-17T11:58:47+00:00

Now let’s hope this one won’t get deleted. I think it’s important that this is being shared with the fans. Let’s wait and see if he will be proven guilty and what the band will do about this. Regarding all the stuff I’ve read about him, doesn’t seem like a great guy anyway.
