Tarja and Marko were asked if they would attend Nightwish's 30th anniversary if the band asked them to. From their live stream broadcast on September 4, 2024 from Tarja's home.
I can see it being possible for Tarja to be back for a special show, she is even friends with Floor and this video even sounds like "hey guys, lets solve what needs to be solved and we would be down. Anette, not so much, i think she burned to many bridges, for example, Marko even on interviews was disconfortable just by having her name being mentioned
Anette will never come back again, wich is good. They sold the most LPs with anette and also make the most money with the tours of anette. I hope she will stay far away from nightwish. They were terrible to her.
Yeah idk why they only replaced the bass player and not second singer. With all respect to Floor many Marco songs like Planet Hell sound way worse with just her.
If Nightwish did a big tour, with a big setlist, and both Tarja and Floor (and Annette if she was up for it), you can bet I would pay whatever I needed to pay and travel wherever I needed to travel to see that show.
I would like to see an olive branch extended to Tarja, Marko, and Annette. Yes, they have experienced issues and troubles in the past. But we're all getting older (I'm 63) and it's foolish to carry the weight of grudges. If they don't reconcile that would be a shame. Nightwish today is amazing. The appearance of these two (+ Annette) would make for an unforgettable concert. p.s. I love Floor.
The way I see it is that for Tuomas to reach out to old members it would need to be somehow artistically fulfilling. Open invitation has been given years ago for any past member to join Nw on stage. So far we've seen Sami back and I think Jukka played a song or two as well if I'm not mistaken. But Jukka never even really left, he's still the bands company CEO.
It's common for people to 'demand an apology'. But real reconciliation happens when both sides STOP insisting on being apologized to. That's my own experience. So if Tarja is expecting them to come to her, and she is not going to sympathize with the perspective of others, then it is not likely anything will happen.
@@Aurinkohelmiexactly! That was probably as dirty as you could do someone! Honestly, I lost all respect for the band when they did that & posted it online!
@@GNewcomb-q9v Yeah the band basically put as much bad blood in their parting as possible instead of acting like adults. Tuomas and the rest were a bunch of divas.
@@023achillesI think this is not exactly what she means, but that they don't have any sort of relation nor chemestry anymore at this point; they are not friends, they don't talk or collaborate as artists for decades, so they cannot just come up asking her to join them without any sort of reconection, it would probably feel very odd for them.
I saw an Instagram live from Annette that someone clipped recently and she said that she would consider doing a reunion show if she was asked. I would love for all of them to get together and do a few shows like The Gathering did. It would be amazing!
even thought they treated Annette like sht and blamed it on her (like they did with Tarja, calling them both divas when Annette paid for her own bus to have her kids with her) she does post about anniversaries and how happy she was to get the chance to do what she did with them. She is very gracious and kind and I think that shows
Just imagine the possibilities: 5 singers (Troy included), 2 bassists, 2 drummers and two magicians on keys and guitar... wow! Musically speaking, endless possibilities, combinations and ways to play Nightwish's song catalog. What a fantastic thing that would be. God, I hope it happens.❤
Understandable either way, nothing personal because tarja and marko have to do whats best for themselves. It was great to see them back then and see them interact now. Appreciate their honesty
I feel sorry for all of these guys. I'm new to Nightwish (last couple of years) so I missed the Tarja era, but I am of course familiar with Marko. I feel sorry for both of them and also for the remaining Nightwish members, especially Tuomas. As a big fan of Pink Floyd, I see now that even at 78 years old, every time there's some sort of interview, David Gilmour is asked if he would ever link up with Roger Waters again for "one more" Pink Floyd appearance. Every. Single. Time. I fear it might be the same for these guys too. They will probably be asked about doing "one more" Nightwish project together for the rest of their lives. And we all know "one more" is never going to be enough.
Exactly that. People better just accept that eras end and new ones begin. Nothing ever stays the same and that's just life. Nightwish is an awesome band as it is. Tuomas certainly doesn't seem to have lost his edge. Quite the contrary. And with Floor as a next level singer they are doing massively well. Of course Marko had his special place in the band and vocally he was an amazing match with Floor. I'm sure they miss him but he made his choice and that's that. I too only got to know the band when Floor was already the lead singer. I think she's the better fit because she's the most allround of the three singers in the band's existence. Tarja is very operatic so with her I miss the lower parts where Floor performs so massively well. And since Floor can also sing the high notes I really get to enjoy her vocals so much. But that's also because I got into Nightwish with Floor in the band so I totally get how people from before might have a harder time accepting the changes.
"I don't think its just possible for the guys" - and Marko aka "one of the guys" is already sitting there with her. Never say never. Even though I'm a strong believer in Floor as the do it all definitive solution for Nightwish, no-one can deny Tarja as one of the driving forces in the creation of Nightwish. It would be a nice special event for the fans to see them all - also Anette, singing songs from their eras of Nightwish. And maybe some out of the box new versions from each others eras. Preferably with a full orchestra and a choir. And Marko could well leave the bass for Jukka to play and just give us the vocals many already miss. They could also swap drummers if the OG Jukka is in condition to play. Nightwish Eras Tour.. lol
It is incredible that it has been 30 years... I still remember when my older brother bought their first CD and I just loved the band. I have so many memories with Nightwish, they were part of my senior years, my long trips to college (almost 4 hours every day by train and bus, running out of batteries in my old discman...), holiday trips in Argentina. I even have a video of my older daughter going to school, being only 2 years old and enjoying Ever Dream, something that she still enjoys 6 years later and the last funny memory, I played a whole concert while an Uber was driving me from Santo Domingo to Punta Cana to teach him about something far more interesting than reggaton. hahaha.,
as a fan of both i just want everyone to be happy, make the music they want, even if it's different from what we want. It would be a great show if the two's play some songs with nightwish (even Anette but i think she left this part of her life happily) but even if they don't i would continue to listen to both.
Nobody, I mean nobody can sing The Phantom of the Opera like Tarja and Marko. They reign on that one. I miss them so much with Nightwish. I love you Tarja and Marko! ❤️
@@michelleponzio Floor has a beautiful voice no doubt, Henk too. Tarja and Marko go together like peanut butter and jelly. They sound perfect together. It's a personal decision on whose best, but I personally prefer Tarja and Marko's version.
I mean it's not like the helloween reunion where both kiske and Kai rejoined permanently, it's just a show celebrating the 30th anniversary of the group.
@@Limonelguey Which is why Marko and Tarja's demands over one show are a bit steep. The band isn't desperate for them. The only ones talking of a 30th anniversary show is interviewers and fans. Tarja and Marko are obviously doing a few covers of old Nw songs for fan favor.
Do you realize how much money a one-time concert with the original band members and Marco and have everyone come on for certain songs and this and that with a DVD with an orchestra and all that you realize how much money they would make just off of that album alone or DVD whatever concert whatever they would make more money and not one concert and DVD then they've made in the past 3 albums
@@dman420420 These guys are already rolling in dough. You think they're desperate for more? I don't. Everyone in Nw past and present are about the music first.
Nightwish is not, and will never be, only the ones representing the group right now. You're a part of the development of something really special, music that will be listened to for generations to come. The full appreciation of what was created as Nightwish will happen further in the future because this project is far ahead of its time. I'm grateful to live in the same era as Nightwish and I envy you because you are a part of Nightwish. You can never be not a part of Nightwish. I hope my perspective as listener makes you think again. Love ❤
Marko being back on stage with them at least once more seems much more likely than them inviting Tarja, or Anette for that matter. It just seems like those two are still not on good terms with T & co
The entire Dark Passion Play album was basically a gigantic public break up letter with Tarja. It's kind of hard to make that and then expect to make up with her later. I still dont know what happened with Marko though. When he left the band it sounded like he was still on good terms with everybody and could be welcomed back, but now it doesnt look that way anymore. I dont know what's going on with that, but I hope Tuomas and the others do invite him back for some guest stuff because he was such a huge part of that band for such a long time.
@@ktvindicare You have to remember that Nightwish today are not just the band members. It includes several key people that work behind the scenes these days. Marko leaved with complains of the music industry in general. So there is a good chance that the people he mentioned are those people and not the band members. I personally have some intuition that that is the case
@@ktvindicareI've seen it happen in workplaces all the time. The last guy to have left gets blamed for all the problems. Let it go on too long and people start to believe it.
😢 I love both and I love Nightwish. Maybe it's this selfish part of me that dreams of this incredible show, leaving all differences behind, and just coming together for the best Nightwish show ever. But I understand these aren't just artists but human beings and there are unresolved issues. I truly wish they could find a way to mend things at least for this one celebration because of what you've all meant to us. And not just them, but Annette and Jukka. Nightwish as a whole means so much to me.
I believe in my heart that this can be achieved, and if it does indeed happen, I will have to make arrangements to see that show live, translation: Do everything humanly and inhumanly possible to get to Finland and experience a once in a millenia event. Hope it happens!
I would fly to wherever in the world to see a massive reunion Nightwish show with all the past and current members on the same stage. That would be so epic!
They would prob create an amazing sound with Tarja, Anette and Floor since all of them have such different sound on their own. I hope they can make it happen. Also Marko have an amazing voice, miss him in the new songs..
It would be awesome if they were to reconcile and become a family again. I would love to see it even go so far as to hear the whole band playing Tarja’s music and Floor and Annette singing her songs with her. There is enough money for everybody. And, wouldn’t it be a powerful lesson to demonstrate for all their admirers?
no matter a reunion...i just wish that Nightwish sat with Tarja and talk to her...some apology not that she had to quit but the way they did...so at least the animosity is gone between them...show respect to her
There hasn't been animosity in years. Everyone actually involved have moved on. It is just some drama hungry so called fans doing fanfiction that still hold grudges.
I don’t understand this point of view. She was going to leave the band anyway. From what I read she was being unprofessional before she was voted out of the band. I don’t think they owe any apologies. Marko was one of the ones who voted her out of the band too and I doubt he had to apologize to her during this reunion thing their doing.
He apologized to her for what the band did to her already on the Raskasta Joulua tour in 2017 in front of the entire production. It is written about, for example, in an interview for the Finnish Inferno from this August.
Very diplomatic answer, unfortunately we do not know what happened between all three parties but it will be a dream come true if all three parties were to reunite
I followed Nightwish from the first album, i see Nightwish as Tarja first then Floor. I didn't care for Annette but if they do a Helloween type tour or even just one show with all 3 that would be so cool.
I would jump at the chance to see Marko perform with Nightwish again, but I would be devastated to see that the magic chemistry that group had has indeed passed. Either way, I would be shocked if the offer was ever extended.
Somehow, I feel that, even if it was for one magical show, the live stage chemistry would be there/resurface. The act of performing together again would bring an energy to the group that might be missing. You can even see in End of An Era, that while behind the scenes, there was tension and trouble, it seemed to be put into the back of their minds while performing and they enjoyed the moment.
@@BoUrnNe26 I think the audience would be able to tell that the band on stage aren't really friends. Also tbh, none of the bandmembers past or present really seem keen to any reunion shows. Their careers aren't at that stage yet where they would be quitting.
@@user-fx4ww6tb3rthere are Fleetwood Mac videos where Stevie and Lindsey are clearly staring daggers at each other as they sing but still put on an amazing performance.

Marko + Tarja + Floor... damn .. . i don't think fans' brains would be able to survive that. We all would have our minds completely blown off. That will be the concert of the century. No one after that would be able to come even close to this theoretical epicness
I think the person that has the most chance of making this happen is Floor. She's still close with Tarja, we all know that. And I don't think Marco and even Anette would be that big of a river to cross.
Been a fan since 1998, bought Angel's Fall First and Century Child ( along with many other cds from bands I'd never heard of) from a catalog in a Stratovarius cd. I have been Night-wishing for an anniversary reunion! Only 1 reasonably close concert in all this time, and it sold out before I tried to get tickets
The band "Helloween" did something similar. They did the pumpkins United tour where they got their 2 previous lead singers Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen to come out and perform the entire set along with their current singer Andy Deris. It was epic having all 3 sing all these songs together. It would be amazing to see Floor Marco Tarja and Annette all performing together
It's very clear that there is lot into it than what they are really willing to mention to the public in regards to their relationship with their former band members, but they do also show some openness to rejoining but they just have all these issues in mind.
I'd love to see everyone back together, but I can also see that there'd be a lot of things to be talked over/figured out first. Really, I'm just happy that Nightwish, Tarja, Marko, Annette, and everyone are all thriving in their careers.
Unfortunately, most artists are not good in socialising and talking over stuff, hence they express their views, feelings and opinions through their art. The issue with that? It's always ambiguous and subject to interpretation...
@@nightwishisthegreatestband6355 We kind of do though. And we can very much make a judgement from the behavior of the band itself, like publishing open letters and making an entire album about Tuomas' lust for Tarja.
@@nightwishisthegreatestband6355 You can, however, make a rational judgement based on the fact that several people, over a period of many years, tell similar stories.
Tarja when she says guys, at this moment she tells us exactly what she still feels about their behavior towards her. this woman is a jewel, proud and pure
Marco and Tarja, Tarja and Marco, I adore 🥰 both your voices and I am looking forward to seeing you live in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 BUT 25€ for a ticket 🎫 to your concert is not affordable for me. 🤔
It has always seemed to be very emotionally complex and personal. That would potentially be very exciting or...Uncomfortable. Some care about a "reunion"...I don't. The Past is past.
The music world has always been the same 🤔 great bands and artists form and break up🤔 the music stands for all time🤔 it's their mark in the world 🤔truly great works are never forgotten 🤔but few bands last🤔 it's the way of things 🤔 life happens 🤔 but the music remains🎉🎉🎉
I really do not know what happened to you two but you probably had good reasons on why you did what you did. Look I've only been introduced to Nightwish for almost 5yrs now and all of you past and present have had a major influence on my life since my discovery of you all. I am america and american bands hold grudges for an exuberant amount of time for reasons that are so petty, it's ridiculous. European bands are smarter than we. I wish nothing but the best and my love for you two because you are in my eyes still Nightwish as much as the band that is now!🎼🤘🌹💖
Freunde, es ist euer Leben. Marco, überlege gut, als du in Alicante (Dénia?) warst, da warst du mit den Nerven fertig. Mach dich nie wieder so kaputt. Deine Stimme hat Millionen gefehlt, nun ist die Musik mit dir neu aufgestanden und ein neuer (Alter) Stern steht am Himmel. Lebe dein Leben, singe mit deinen Freunden und drehe allen, die dich gehen ließen, den Rücken zu. Deine Anhänger sind deine Fans, nicht die von Nachtwunsch. Ich war nie wieder in Wacken, weil es nicht mehr dasselbe ist (bin aber auch 70 Jahre)
Do it - just ONCE (pun intended), for the fans. Not for Tuomas, not for Nightwish, not for you, but for the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of fans that would lose their minds just to see you all together one last time!
It seems they are both open to discussing about it if there is genuine willingness from Nightwish side to do so. They are themselves proof that it’s possible to put the past behind and build something better together when both sides are willing to have those difficult conversations. Tarja and Marko have shown it can be done. It remains to be seen if 20 years has been enough for Tuomas to grow up too.
No, I don't think all fans deserve it. Especially not the ones who care about nothing but the letter and call her the Greedy Diva. Why should Tarja please them? She has suffered enough and owes nothing to anyone.
Well If they both bring Jukka to join them on the tour, the 3 together are more Nightwish than the actual Nightwish. Thinkingbon the original formation.
Reading some of the comments, it seems to me that Tarja is responsible for everything bad, even for what someone else did to her. And also it is her duty to attend the 30th anniversary and if she doesn't she is proud and full of hate. Actually, whether or not she joins doesn't really matter what steps the band takes. 😂 Basically, some here are absolving Nightwish of all responsibility and putting it on Tarja. On the other hand, they make Marko a mindless puppet that Tarja probably controls. She is so powerful. 😂
Well, all comments I saw until now are more in the line of "i wish it would happen " and " I would like them to be happy " and the hopes that they get their conflicts solved. For me it´s all 3 of these...
It's absurd to think about a reunion of Tarja and Marko with Nightwish for the band's 30th anniversary, especially considering how Nightwish publicly fired Tarja. She has built an amazing solo career and only sings Nightwish songs because some fans are stuck in the past and can't let go of the nostalgia. I want to look forward, not backward-I want more material from these two incredible artists in their solo careers.
There's a little thing called 'get over it'. Our time on Earth is limited. What a huge lost opportunity it would be to rekindle in such a harmless and meaningful way.
@@sm1echel Read the room it's not about her performing Nightwish song it's about a reunion... Not one person is saying she shouldn't be performing Nightwish songs, please follow the bouncing ball
Im new to listening to Nightwish. I found it 4 years ago. From what i can see. There is wonderful talent. I think once a Nightwish member, always a Nightwish member. Thats that. End of that. However entering into the franchise for artistic extensions i think is appropriate. There is no whos better. There is only everyone is wonderful and already are parts of the body of the franchise. Nightwish ⚘️🪽
I think that only Tarja should sing 30th anniversary. I don t like cheap effects like all 3 singers will meet together and hug. She was the best vocalist and songs with her were the best. But I am not sure that she possesses the the same voice to sing those songs.
Marko...if you're paying attention...I read the open letter. I understand your reasons, or at least insomuch as it's possible for me. But buddy....I miss you on stage with the group, and I am not alone in that. Tarja...that's a bigger mess to unravel. But if Marko is there with Nightwish...I might have to actually get a passport to see it. (American here, never had need of a passport before.)
Lo que entendí es que si se podría pero tendría que haber una charla previa y honesta , quizá pedido de disculpas o algo así , y además no solo un show sino algo más grande como una gira y con un buen ofrecimiento de dinero , sería lo más justo que una reunión para la foto
I didn't walk away from Nightwish but there must be honest face-to-face talks before I consider coming for thé 30th birthday. What happened before and After but there was something big
In the video, Marko said that he "didn't walk away from just Nightwish, but he walked away from everything that was his life so far". So even according to his words he left Nightwish. But i think i know what you meant.
Tarja and Marko were asked if they would attend Nightwish's 30th anniversary if the band asked them to.
From their live stream broadcast on September 4, 2024 from Tarja's home.

@@Limonelguey Which is why Marko and Tarja's demands over one show are a bit steep.
The band isn't desperate for them. The only ones talking of a 30th anniversary show is interviewers and fans. Tarja and Marko are obviously doing a few covers of old Nw songs for fan favor.
Do you realize how much money a one-time concert with the original band members and Marco and have everyone come on for certain songs and this and that with a DVD with an orchestra and all that you realize how much money they would make just off of that album alone or DVD whatever concert whatever they would make more money and not one concert and DVD then they've made in the past 3 albums
@@dman420420 You think these guys or anyone in the band is desperate for money? You must be kidding😂
@@dman420420 These guys are already rolling in dough. You think they're desperate for more? I don't. Everyone in Nw past and present are about the music first.
I would love to see you guys reunite with the band for a bit, have some talks and work it out! You all are great musicians and people!
Nightwish is not, and will never be, only the ones representing the group right now. You're a part of the development of something really special, music that will be listened to for generations to come. The full appreciation of what was created as Nightwish will happen further in the future because this project is far ahead of its time. I'm grateful to live in the same era as Nightwish and I envy you because you are a part of Nightwish. You can never be not a part of Nightwish. I hope my perspective as listener makes you think again. Love ❤
Marko being back on stage with them at least once more seems much more likely than them inviting Tarja, or Anette for that matter. It just seems like those two are still not on good terms with T & co
The entire Dark Passion Play album was basically a gigantic public break up letter with Tarja. It's kind of hard to make that and then expect to make up with her later. I still dont know what happened with Marko though. When he left the band it sounded like he was still on good terms with everybody and could be welcomed back, but now it doesnt look that way anymore. I dont know what's going on with that, but I hope Tuomas and the others do invite him back for some guest stuff because he was such a huge part of that band for such a long time.
@@ktvindicare You have to remember that Nightwish today are not just the band members. It includes several key people that work behind the scenes these days. Marko leaved with complains of the music industry in general. So there is a good chance that the people he mentioned are those people and not the band members.
I personally have some intuition that that is the case
@@ktvindicareI've seen it happen in workplaces all the time. The last guy to have left gets blamed for all the problems. Let it go on too long and people start to believe it.
😢 I love both and I love Nightwish. Maybe it's this selfish part of me that dreams of this incredible show, leaving all differences behind, and just coming together for the best Nightwish show ever. But I understand these aren't just artists but human beings and there are unresolved issues.
I truly wish they could find a way to mend things at least for this one celebration because of what you've all meant to us.
And not just them, but Annette and Jukka.
Nightwish as a whole means so much to me.
I believe in my heart that this can be achieved, and if it does indeed happen, I will have to make arrangements to see that show live, translation: Do everything humanly and inhumanly possible to get to Finland and experience a once in a millenia event. Hope it happens!
I would fly to wherever in the world to see a massive reunion Nightwish show with all the past and current members on the same stage. That would be so epic!
They would prob create an amazing sound with Tarja, Anette and Floor since all of them have such different sound on their own. I hope they can make it happen. Also Marko have an amazing voice, miss him in the new songs..
It would be awesome if they were to reconcile and become a family again. I would love to see it even go so far as to hear the whole band playing Tarja’s music and Floor and Annette singing her songs with her. There is enough money for everybody. And, wouldn’t it be a powerful lesson to demonstrate for all their admirers?
Everyone has their own project & consideration, just respect each other's opinion & decision. I prefer to enjoy current Nightwish line up.
no matter a reunion...i just wish that Nightwish sat with Tarja and talk to her...some apology not that she had to quit but the way they did...so at least the animosity is gone between them...show respect to her
There hasn't been animosity in years. Everyone actually involved have moved on. It is just some drama hungry so called fans doing fanfiction that still hold grudges.
works both ways!
@@user-fx4ww6tb3r maybe not animosity per se but clear the feelings are still strong.
I don’t understand this point of view. She was going to leave the band anyway. From what I read she was being unprofessional before she was voted out of the band. I don’t think they owe any apologies. Marko was one of the ones who voted her out of the band too and I doubt he had to apologize to her during this reunion thing their doing.
He apologized to her for what the band did to her already on the Raskasta Joulua tour in 2017 in front of the entire production. It is written about, for example, in an interview for the Finnish Inferno from this August.
Very diplomatic answer, unfortunately we do not know what happened between all three parties but it will be a dream come true if all three parties were to reunite
Tarja and Marko, the rebels with a cause 😎🤘
I would definitely get a passport and travel to be at a concert with you guys guest-singing.
I followed Nightwish from the first album, i see Nightwish as Tarja first then Floor. I didn't care for Annette but if they do a Helloween type tour or even just one show with all 3 that would be so cool.
Tarja feels hurt it is so obvious, I understand her. I could never move forward without her too.
I would jump at the chance to see Marko perform with Nightwish again, but I would be devastated to see that the magic chemistry that group had has indeed passed. Either way, I would be shocked if the offer was ever extended.
Somehow, I feel that, even if it was for one magical show, the live stage chemistry would be there/resurface. The act of performing together again would bring an energy to the group that might be missing. You can even see in End of An Era, that while behind the scenes, there was tension and trouble, it seemed to be put into the back of their minds while performing and they enjoyed the moment.
@@BoUrnNe26 I think the audience would be able to tell that the band on stage aren't really friends.
Also tbh, none of the bandmembers past or present really seem keen to any reunion shows. Their careers aren't at that stage yet where they would be quitting.
@@user-fx4ww6tb3rthere are Fleetwood Mac videos where Stevie and Lindsey are clearly staring daggers at each other as they sing but still put on an amazing performance.

Notice she said ‘the guys’, because Floor would welcome her with open arms ❤
"guys" in English can refer to a group with mixed genders. But I agree that Floor and Tarja are most likely on good terms
Tarja is a Floor fan and Floor is a Tarja fan
@@Oakenlixthey actually performes together, they are friends.
Marko + Tarja + Floor... damn .. . i don't think fans' brains would be able to survive that. We all would have our minds completely blown off. That will be the concert of the century. No one after that would be able to come even close to this theoretical epicness
Aaaa! I got it 😉 I love Tarja & Marco❤
I think the person that has the most chance of making this happen is Floor. She's still close with Tarja, we all know that. And I don't think Marco and even Anette would be that big of a river to cross.
Marko yes. Floor has brought so much.
so genius this duet singing and feeling
Been a fan since 1998, bought Angel's Fall First and Century Child ( along with many other cds from bands I'd never heard of) from a catalog in a Stratovarius cd. I have been Night-wishing for an anniversary reunion! Only 1 reasonably close concert in all this time, and it sold out before I tried to get tickets
The band "Helloween" did something similar. They did the pumpkins United tour where they got their 2 previous lead singers Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen to come out and perform the entire set along with their current singer Andy Deris.
It was epic having all 3 sing all these songs together.
It would be amazing to see Floor Marco Tarja and Annette all performing together
I like that Iron Maiden brought back Adrian Smith as a permanent member. They made room for all the guitarists they've recorded with over the years.
It's very clear that there is lot into it than what they are really willing to mention to the public in regards to their relationship with their former band members, but they do also show some openness to rejoining but they just have all these issues in mind.
My dream is to stop the war in Ukraine and have a Nightwish concert with Tarja in my home city Ufa, Russia.
❤ Respect! ❤️
It would be a dream come true. But from what i get from this interview. I don't think so. They do what's best for them. ❤
Yes please Tarja&Marko do it next show in Montréal Canada, my Ever Dream The Last Ride of thé Day Storytime !
Floor can be Switzerland for this reunion. She will make it happen.
One of the biggest reasons why i love RUSH, is they never put themselves above the band and the fans. It was hard but they did it. 40 years.
Man I would give an arm if it was enough to see the classic formation back together. Marko, tarja and jukka
Marko was not an original though
@@Honken55 I know, but is the most iconic, had a massive impact on the band, he is nightwish
@@dadish90yes ofc
I do not know and care the background, but I would be crying if I see them together on the stage😢
We only need you marko
I'd love to see everyone back together, but I can also see that there'd be a lot of things to be talked over/figured out first.
Really, I'm just happy that Nightwish, Tarja, Marko, Annette, and everyone are all thriving in their careers.
Nightwish might be one of the coolest bands in the world, but they display the social maturity of kindergardeners, so no wonder.
Unfortunately, most artists are not good in socialising and talking over stuff, hence they express their views, feelings and opinions through their art. The issue with that? It's always ambiguous and subject to interpretation...
We don't kmow what was going on behind the scenes to pass that judgment
As much as I love Tuomas and his music, he seems to be pretty difficult to work with
@@nightwishisthegreatestband6355 We kind of do though. And we can very much make a judgement from the behavior of the band itself, like publishing open letters and making an entire album about Tuomas' lust for Tarja.
@@nightwishisthegreatestband6355 You can, however, make a rational judgement based on the fact that several people, over a period of many years, tell similar stories.
Tarja when she says guys, at this moment she tells us exactly what she still feels about their behavior towards her. this woman is a jewel, proud and pure
Tarja...best mezzo soprano in power metal ever...prove me wrong..
I think she is a soprano? She is even stating that on her own website.
Yes, she is a soprano.
That would be awesome 🤘😎🤘💜💜💜
Marco and Tarja, Tarja and Marco, I adore 🥰 both your voices and I am looking forward to seeing you live in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 BUT 25€ for a ticket 🎫 to your concert is not affordable for me. 🤔
It has always seemed to be very emotionally complex and personal. That would potentially be very exciting or...Uncomfortable. Some care about a "reunion"...I don't. The Past is past.
The music world has always been the same 🤔 great bands and artists form and break up🤔 the music stands for all time🤔 it's their mark in the world 🤔truly great works are never forgotten 🤔but few bands last🤔 it's the way of things 🤔 life happens 🤔 but the music remains🎉🎉🎉
Giving Human Beingness to those two faces. Nice.
I really do not know what happened to you two but you probably had good reasons on why you did what you did. Look I've only been introduced to Nightwish for almost 5yrs now and all of you past and present have had a major influence on my life since my discovery of you all. I am america and american bands hold grudges for an exuberant amount of time for reasons that are so petty, it's ridiculous. European bands are smarter than we. I wish nothing but the best and my love for you two because you are in my eyes still Nightwish as much as the band that is now!🎼🤘🌹💖
The best of Nightwish those two
This makes me very sad. But I do understand you guys. 😢💪🏼💖🎸😘
Freunde, es ist euer Leben. Marco, überlege gut, als du in Alicante (Dénia?) warst, da warst du mit den Nerven fertig. Mach dich nie wieder so kaputt. Deine Stimme hat Millionen gefehlt, nun ist die Musik mit dir neu aufgestanden und ein neuer (Alter) Stern steht am Himmel. Lebe dein Leben, singe mit deinen Freunden und drehe allen, die dich gehen ließen, den Rücken zu. Deine Anhänger sind deine Fans, nicht die von Nachtwunsch. Ich war nie wieder in Wacken, weil es nicht mehr dasselbe ist (bin aber auch 70 Jahre)
Marko is as wise as Gandalf in this video
Do it - just ONCE (pun intended), for the fans. Not for Tuomas, not for Nightwish, not for you, but for the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of fans that would lose their minds just to see you all together one last time!
Nightwish don't do fan service. I think they've made it clear many times.
Marco please come back!
It seems they are both open to discussing about it if there is genuine willingness from Nightwish side to do so. They are themselves proof that it’s possible to put the past behind and build something better together when both sides are willing to have those difficult conversations. Tarja and Marko have shown it can be done. It remains to be seen if 20 years has been enough for Tuomas to grow up too.
Marko's facial expression in the beginning is sending me, he said:
👁👃👁
lmao
Personally, very objective, but Anette was my fav. Absolutely loved Dark Passion Play more than any of their record 😂
WE MISS YOU MARKO. TARJA... mmmm
I just want Marko to be happy. Same with Tarja and Annette.
Makes sense, would be cool to see but totally understandable
As far as I'm concerned, Nightwish was never the same after the both of you left!! Your voice Tarja cannot be replaced!!!
i think you and all the fans deserve that, you know, there is just one life to live
No, I don't think all fans deserve it. Especially not the ones who care about nothing but the letter and call her the Greedy Diva. Why should Tarja please them? She has suffered enough and owes nothing to anyone.
Well If they both bring Jukka to join them on the tour, the 3 together are more Nightwish than the actual Nightwish. Thinkingbon the original formation.
I am hoping though ❤
I don’t blame her. What they did to her was wrong.
❤ Super 👍🎸
Reading some of the comments, it seems to me that Tarja is responsible for everything bad, even for what someone else did to her.
And also it is her duty to attend the 30th anniversary and if she doesn't she is proud and full of hate. Actually, whether or not she joins doesn't really matter what steps the band takes. 😂
Basically, some here are absolving Nightwish of all responsibility and putting it on Tarja. On the other hand, they make Marko a mindless puppet that Tarja probably controls. She is so powerful. 😂
Amen. And isn't she also responsible for Nightwish's hiatus? :D
@@AdamVop 😆yeah, she probably used her magical evil power
Well, all comments I saw until now are more in the line of "i wish it would happen " and " I would like them to be happy " and the hopes that they get their conflicts solved. For me it´s all 3 of these...
@@kriegstenicht3502 Yeah, that's it now. I wrote this comment some time ago.
And what did someone else do to her??
Tarja et marko un retour relancerais nightwish c’est certains.
when that moment comes it will be the show of the century..i hope it will happen. we love you all.
It's absurd to think about a reunion of Tarja and Marko with Nightwish for the band's 30th anniversary, especially considering how Nightwish publicly fired Tarja. She has built an amazing solo career and only sings Nightwish songs because some fans are stuck in the past and can't let go of the nostalgia.
I want to look forward, not backward-I want more material from these two incredible artists in their solo careers.
I am totally in LOVE with her solo albums😍
Agreed I'm not much of a Tarja fan but I do think she's better off on her own
There's a little thing called 'get over it'. Our time on Earth is limited. What a huge lost opportunity it would be to rekindle in such a harmless and meaningful way.
Or she is doing Nightwish songs because that's what her fame is grounded on.
@@sm1echel Read the room it's not about her performing Nightwish song it's about a reunion... Not one person is saying she shouldn't be performing Nightwish songs, please follow the bouncing ball
Im new to listening to Nightwish. I found it 4 years ago. From what i can see. There is wonderful talent. I think once a Nightwish member, always a Nightwish member. Thats that. End of that. However entering into the franchise for artistic extensions i think is appropriate. There is no whos better. There is only everyone is wonderful and already are parts of the body of the franchise. Nightwish ⚘️🪽
Tarja has the best voice ever
What has that to do with the topic?
Maybe as long as Floor is silent, when she starts to sing she makes Tarja look like a second hand background
I think that only Tarja should sing 30th anniversary. I don t like cheap effects like all 3 singers will meet together and hug. She was the best vocalist and songs with her were the best. But I am not sure that she possesses the the same voice to sing those songs.
It worked for Helloween. A Nightwish tour with 3 singers and Marko would be epic.
HOLY SHIT I JUST COMMENTED THIS!!!😂
@@na-dm6jb great minds think alike
But as Tarja said, there hasn't been any ground work. Helloween was a process over several years.
Marko...if you're paying attention...I read the open letter. I understand your reasons, or at least insomuch as it's possible for me. But buddy....I miss you on stage with the group, and I am not alone in that. Tarja...that's a bigger mess to unravel. But if Marko is there with Nightwish...I might have to actually get a passport to see it. (American here, never had need of a passport before.)
😂 you guys are the best!
Lo que entendí es que si se podría pero tendría que haber una charla previa y honesta , quizá pedido de disculpas o algo así , y además no solo un show sino algo más grande como una gira y con un buen ofrecimiento de dinero , sería lo más justo que una reunión para la foto
I didn't walk away from Nightwish but there must be honest face-to-face talks before I consider coming for thé 30th birthday.
What happened before and After but there was something big
In the video, Marko said that he "didn't walk away from just Nightwish, but he walked away from everything that was his life so far". So even according to his words he left Nightwish. But i think i know what you meant.
Верните Юкку на один концерт... Я до сих пор считаю его лучшим барабанщиком в мире (не в обиду Хайто))
Little star of heavy metal come once in Albania break the stadium
Don’t forget to ask Annette
