Nightwish // Bye Bye Beautiful

[thecomposertuomasholopainen]

We need to talk about Marko Hietala

It’s quite disappointing to read that he really had problems with the administration of the band, and not with the promoters, all this things about his mental health wasn’t the real reason to quit nightwish, the real problem was the money and the validation he needed to feel happy and full; everything is ok with this, but why he said this things know? In my personal opinion everything was ok until the announcement of the virtual show, because the band had to pay for this show and was quite expensive ( btw, this show was the most viewed around the world ) he didn’t accept this then he quit, this decision was taken in a very hard time for nightwish ( COVID-No live shows, crew without job, new album done) in the middle of the only one unique show. Tuomas: Marco informed us by mail in December last year [that he was leaving the Band] it was a really tough pill to swallow. And for a few days, I was actually quite confident that there's no coming back, that this is it. I remember talking to Emppu [Vuorinen], the guitar player, and we were, like, 'You think this is it?' 'Yeah, I think this is it.' I mean, enough is enough.

This break was a real punch in the face and a huge bite to the nightwish heart, because the money and the “ I don't need Nightwish anymore.” and ”Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, giving you only one day's warning in advance”. From Tarja. Comes true once again and was made by Marko, a real dear friend for Tuomas (I know many people blame Tuomas for everything but he is not the administrator of the band, as far as we know, the administrators are Jukka Nevelainen and Ewo (manager) ) said that, this was a real betrayal and just to fu<k even more this sh:t Marko Hietala is on tour with Tarja, giving interviews talking sh:t about this.

I had noticed that nightwish was very supportive with him, even they dedicated him the echo award, they mentioned in several post saying they missed him, but after this interviews in the Tarjas tour, until that moment NW unfollowed him on social media, That reaffirms my theory. This was a huge betrayal and I just feel very disappointed about Marko, I understand his reasons but all this statements and this Tarja Marko union it felts like a knife in the back!

This is not a post to start a drama, it is just a personal opinion, I like the way that nightwish is taking all this, we just can hope and wait for great music to come 🤘🏻 but again the "The blow was almost fatal” and this let us without a tour 😪

Mom just suggested a super group of Ozzy, Mick Mars, Duff McKagan, and...66samus from YouTube (i didnt quite catch the band he said he was in, but he's toured)

But i feel like the drummer needs to be closer in age to everyone else, so...Jukka Nevalainen of Nightwish?

(im trying to avoid including people who've been in a band together, otherwise id suggest Rob Trujillo on bass. Jason Newsted could work!)

Any suggestions? Other super groups you can imagine?

I think seeing one more concert with the original Nightwish would fix me (know that it's probably not going to happen, though).

when Nightwish said “all within me gone but pain and hope, hoping that the pain would fade away” I felt that

Just this.. 💙

Nightwish, Prague 21. 12. 2022

After more than 2 years I finally got to see them live and I have to say I wasn't prepared for how amazing they are live. What a show, the visuals, pyro but most importantly the MUSIC! Everything was perfect. Floor has my biggest respect for doing this after everything that happened in the last weeks.

I want to thank the band for helping me get through the pandemic, without their music it would have been even worse.

I hope I'll see them again 💙

Day 5 of 25

Nightwish - Once

I’ve been given a task to choose 25 albums that greatly influenced my taste in music. One per day for 25 consecutive days. Random order. No explanation, no reviews, just album covers.

Normally I should nominate someone every day to do the same. I decided not to  nominate anyone in particular and everyone who wants to play along is free to join. If you aren’t interested, no problem.

Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera 2002

"The Phantom of the Opera" is a song from the 1986 stage musical of the same name, based on the 1910 French novel of the same name by Gaston Leroux, which tells the tragic story of a beautiful soprano, Christine Daaé, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious, masked musical genius living in the subterranean labyrinth beneath the Paris Opéra House. The song was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics written by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, and additional lyrics by Mike Batt. The song was originally recorded by Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley, which became a UK hit single in 1986, prior to the musical. Listen to it here! In its theatrical debut, it was sung by Brightman and Michael Crawford in their roles as Christine Daaé and the Phantom. Listen to it here! The Phantom of the Opera was the longest running show in Broadway history, and celebrated its 10,000th performance on February 11, 2012, becoming the first Broadway production in history to do so. It is the second longest-running West End musical, after Les Misérables, and the third longest-running West End show overall, after The Mousetrap. The original West End production at Her Majesty's Theatre, London, ended its run in 2020, its run cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Kitee. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marko Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.

In 2002, Nightwish released Century Child, along with the singles "Ever Dream" and "Bless the Child". Century Child was certified gold two hours after its release, and platinum two weeks afterwards. It set a record on the Finnish album charts of most distance between a first place album and the second place. An enduring favorite of fans is the band's version of "The Phantom of the Opera". The song was routinely played in concerts until October 21, 2005, when vocalist Tarja Turunen was fired from the band and later replaced with Anette Olzon, whereupon the band announced that they would never play the song live again. This would hold true for 17 years until November 27 and 28, 2022, when Nightwish was joined by Dutch singer Henk Poort on stage at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam to perform the song. Marko Hietala joined Tarja Turunen at a couple of her solo shows in 2023 to sing "The Phantom of the Opera" with her. They are set to tour together in Spring 2024 in Latin America on Tarja's "Living The Dream – The Hits Tour".

"The Phantom of the Opera" recieved a total of 82,7% yes votes!
