Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,316
Shitty band, shitty equipment
- No commercial potential!
2
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,680
The memoirs of Tuomas pt. XXV
- ''l'll never forget those pants!''
3
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,831
What makes Tuomas tick?
What makes him write such songs?
4
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:32,078
What makes him write such lyrics?
5
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,109
Well...what could it be? Who knows.
6
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:40,357
l bet even Tuomas doesn't know.
7
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,238
lt's a small island? -Yup.
-Damn it's nice!
8
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,638
No wonder this place is
sacred to your family...
9
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,393
A true Finnish dream...
10
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,355
What could be better than
an island of your own?
11
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,398
My musical career began at
the age of seven -
12
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,636
when mom sent me for piano classes...
13
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,668
Going to an island with
the first snow falling - great!
14
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,794
ln the music school l majored
in clarinet and minored in piano.
15
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,836
l know the basics of musical
theory, l can read notes -
16
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,390
and accompany with the piano.
17
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,309
There's a solar panel, you can
power up your mobile there.
18
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,718
Then l joined my first band,
a metal band comprising of -
19
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,999
local Kitee guys, Dismal Silence
l think it was called...
20
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,992
That was my first band and also
the first time l played keyboards.
21
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,075
lt was a new experience,
because l think that piano-
22
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,115
and keyboards are two completely
different instruments.
23
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,636
Listen, the whole forest whispers...
- What?
24
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,030
The forest whispers with the rain!
25
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,633
So you could say that l started
playing keyboards when l was 16.
26
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,915
l kicked the clarinet around
for a while...
27
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,677
l played it in the army band
for nine and a half months.
28
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,190
After that l haven't touched
the thing... not a honk in 6 years.
29
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,912
My first real band to score a record
deal was Darkwoods My Bethrothed.
30
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:29,110
ln 1996...or 5? 1995 it was.
31
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,959
This can't be for real...
32
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,708
l wasn't a proper member
in that band either, -
33
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,918
l was asked to play the synth
as a session musician.
34
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,508
l composed my first song
at that time, too -
35
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,196
The outro for ''Heirs of the Northstar''...
36
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,399
''A New Heaven a New Earth''
l think it was called.
37
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,718
At the same time, we also
started another project -
38
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,918
Nattvinden's Gr鈚, brain-child
of Teemu Kautonen.
39
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,198
That's when we also met
Mr. Wilska for the first time.
40
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,398
Teemu had a bit of a trouble
with some of the vocals -
41
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,000
so the engineer Mr. Valtonen
suggested that we call in this guy.
42
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,516
l finally found me a friend...
my sonny boy!
43
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,836
Looks a lot like his father he does...
44
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,198
We eventually made two albums
with Nattvindens Gr鈚.
45
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,398
So at the time l was in two bands -
46
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,638
but l always felt that l was
not allowed to write any songs, -
47
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,838
l was just a hired hand
playing the synth.
48
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,998
lt was OK in the beginning,
but l always had the urge -
49
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,189
to write my own songs,
that's the main thing for me.
50
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,918
There's some kind of a lever outside...
51
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,994
Then in the summer of 1996
- l was still in both bands -
52
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,598
we spent a night here on
the island, right over there.
53
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,198
We sat around the fire, went to sauna -
54
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,673
and l came up with the idea
of a project my own.
55
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,989
l didn't have the name ''Nightwish''
yet, but l had the concept.
56
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,199
Acoustic stuff, mood music,
not Heavy Metal at all...
57
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,718
The artist is starting
to get very pissed off!
58
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,276
Perkele!
59
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,708
Third and the Mortal, Theatre of
Tragedy and The Gathering -
60
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,838
those bands were a great
inspiration at the time.
61
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,953
l felt like trying something
in the same vein myself.
62
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,309
l went to the army in July 1996,
and during the first months -
63
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,193
l wrote three songs, ''Nightwish'',
''Forever moments'' and ''Eti鋓nen''.
64
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,278
ln December l booked a studio in Kitee -
65
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,908
and we made the three song demo then...
66
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,199
ls Wilska with you? We had
some trouble with the boat.
67
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,994
Call us when you get here and
l'll come and pick you up.
68
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,991
l can't remember exactly
when Emppu came along -
69
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,358
l didn't know the guy
so well at the time.
70
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,433
Jukka had known him for ages but
to me Emppu was a new acquaintance.
71
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,911
l was told it would take
ten pulls to start...
72
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,915
l also thought l'd ask Tarja Turunen
what she thought about the idea.
73
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,197
l'd known her since the age of 13,
we were in the same music class -
74
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,197
in junior high and played in
the same jazz band...
75
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,589
She was a distant friend of mine.
76
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,789
lt's Taape's birthday!
- Happy birthday, Tarja!
77
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,198
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you...
78
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,198
Did you congratulate Tarja
on her birthday, Kimi?
79
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,109
Well, happy birthday to you...
80
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,993
Lout!
81
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,919
Recording artist Paula...
- Paula?
82
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,198
This toilet paper strip comes
in handy when you have a pee -
83
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,108
You can wipe your tush with it!
84
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,194
Gen, Gen, Genghis Khan,
enslaver of nations! Hu! Ha!
85
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,235
Gee, this is a good kit!
86
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,591
''ASS lS THE HOME OF SHlT''
87
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,919
l can't remember if me and
Emppu called her first, -
88
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,550
or if we just went over and
told her that we had this thing...
89
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,196
lt only took five pulls...
90
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,710
Plus an additional five!
91
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,797
We walked to her place, it
was just before Christmas...
92
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,795
l explained what l had in mind
and asked what she thought about it.
93
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,834
She replied ''sure'',
she was on right away.
94
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,639
Everything works like a dream today!
95
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,838
lt was to be a project,
we'd just make demo tapes, -
96
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,998
maybe send them to record companies, -
97
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,392
but definitely no gigs
or anything that serious.
98
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,637
Tarja said ''absolutely''
and agreed to sing the songs -
99
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,999
it would probably take her
two days or so in the studio.
100
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,710
Before each gig we have to
get our lucky tattoos...
101
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,997
Evil Ewo made this neat skull,
and Marco, ever so friendly, -
102
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,073
wrote ''right'' here so l know
which hand to hit with.
103
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,597
l should make this tattoo permanent
and ask some expert what it means!
104
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,993
Paris! A close up of the Eiffel tower.
105
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,754
- We're at the top!
- ln Germany!
106
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,630
Where are my fuckin' cigarettes?
- Alles klar, wunderbar!
107
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,198
A lot of people say that one should
move from a hick town like Kitee -
108
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,193
and see a bit of the world.
109
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,115
l've lived there for every
single year of my life, -
110
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,399
and during the last few years l've
often thought of moving to Helsinki -
111
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,189
or some other place. But now that
l've toured the world with the band -
112
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:23,788
and by myself, l've learnt that
l'm not missing anything here.
113
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,596
l could live here in Kitee
for the rest of my life.
114
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,553
There's not a better place in the world.
115
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:35,275
Sao Paolo and Reperbahn,
both worth another visit!
116
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,270
lt's too hot in here...
117
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,233
We then recorded the basic
tracks with Emppu -
118
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,398
at the legendary Kiteen
Huvikeskus Studio.
119
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:53,595
We also met Tero then, l didn't
know him either before.
120
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:58,518
A roadie at work...
- lt's a shitty job!
121
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,113
l feel a bit shy!
122
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,596
Tero, what was it like in Russia?
- A bit on the shitty side...
123
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,838
A pissed-up trip, literally...
-No, it was OK. Cool.
124
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,196
Surprisingly l can once again
see your underpants.
125
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,237
What's this then? You broke a stick?
-No, l didn't break a single one.
126
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,996
- Don't you try that on me..
127
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,676
Tero's being scrupulous with the cords...
128
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,913
- Situation normal, all fucked up...
129
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,035
Wrong hole... phase out conflict again.
130
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,790
Lucky bastard!
131
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,631
(Ewo-talk, unintelligible!)
132
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,076
Toni, production, Paris!
133
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,195
Yes.
134
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,594
Actually l have a few here,
l can write one for her...
135
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,198
Say something to the people
of Finland! - What?
136
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,638
Wrong hole. - No way!
-lt's phase out conflict again!
137
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,196
Some mascara... This is
what l do for living.
138
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,198
This is the second night Ulsch got
no beer and he's pretty pissed off...
139
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,438
-The fridge is full,
grab as many as you like!
140
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,593
Just a few, 'cos otherwise it would
be third night in a row...
141
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,755
Do you have a wisdom for the
people of Finland this time?
142
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,195
What?!
143
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,198
Tommi and the piggie...
- Tommi, any spanking tonight?
144
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,270
The piggie squeals!
145
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,190
What's the little guy's name?
- Kurko.
146
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,590
We knew Tero vaguely, he had
recorded some of our old demos.
147
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:25,035
So we went there to do
the recording.
148
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,589
Welcome to the legendary
Caverock studio!
149
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,998
Zoom there...
150
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,398
The studio where we've
recorded all our four albums, -
151
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,911
the first we even mixed here.
Looks like a sauna or a doghouse...
152
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,149
So should we listen to it again?
- ...but you can get a good sound here.
153
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,150
Get a load of this... ''- The peak
of Tero's engineering career...''
154
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,719
Greetings, good folks.
155
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,192
Now it's just the cabin...
156
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,996
Line-in is 5 dB less.
157
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,191
Shit, it's...well, we'll get it right.
158
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,719
So, how are you doin'?
- Tuning is what l'm doing...
159
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,918
A beer wouldn't hurt,
you know.
160
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,637
Let's play this fast
so we can go to the bar!
161
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,918
Go away, moron!
162
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,196
Oops!
163
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,196
Go...
164
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,719
My apologies!
165
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,195
Perkele.
166
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,829
One bum note!
167
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,109
Just a moment please.
168
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,195
Dammit!
169
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,830
l wish the battery would
run out already...
170
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,519
Tarja came and we went through
the songs, checked the melodies...
171
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,791
lt was a shock when she started
singing for the first time.
172
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:19,393
We had expected a tender young
girl's voice, like Kari Ruesl鈚ten -
173
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,512
but even at that stage she had
a powerful, dramatic classical voice.
174
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,998
lt was a total surprise.
175
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,391
People often think that...
that there was a conscious plan -
176
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,518
of how Nightwish would sound,
177
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,800
mix a little metal, atmospheric stuff,
and put some operatic vocals on top.
178
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,198
But it was just a lucky coincidence.
179
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,438
So this is broke too?
A fine day it is... bad karma!
180
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,198
We were just experimenting
with those three songs, -
181
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,398
acoustic guitar, flute, synth,
Tarja's vocals and nothing else.
182
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,189
That's what Nightwish was
inititially to be all about.
183
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,198
Only Sumi the Finn
can know about it all...
184
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,911
Sumi's in Germany...
- Um. l guess he is then.
185
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,916
Vittu!
186
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,399
Sumi's in Germany.
- Yeah, again!
187
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,113
We sent the demo to Century Media,
Massacre, and maybe Spinefarm...
188
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,199
Yeah, Spinefarm too. 3 or 4 places,
and we didn't receive a single reply.
189
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,238
We also sent it to Soundi magazine's
demo review, we have it here...
190
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,990
ls it just the legendary
one where it said...
191
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,835
''No commercial potential!''
192
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,198
''ls this really relevant in
its atmospheric ambitions?''
193
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,433
The first ever newspaper
article on Nightwish.
194
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,313
Note the pitch: ''Finland's
Gatherinki has been found!''
195
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,908
The day after l got out of
the army we went into the studio.
196
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,116
We did a seven song demo -
197
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,834
which later became the limited
edition of Angels Fall First.
198
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,998
- So that was the first demo
with the whole band? - Yes.
199
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,196
And then you went on tour
with Nattvinden's Gr鈚?
200
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,396
- With Wish and Babylon Whores.
201
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,114
And when you came back we
heard that we have a record deal.
202
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,278
- Have you gotten any, boys?!
203
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,838
There's this funny story...
When we embarked on the tour -
204
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,999
Ewo had with him a boxful
of demos sent to Spinefarm.
205
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,791
Something like 600 demo tapes which
we listened in the bus for 2 weeks.
206
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,398
We'd insert the tape, gave it 20
seconds, and if it failed to impress -
207
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,754
We'd throw it right out of the window.
208
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,796
Tuomas didn't have the guts to play
his tape to Ewo,''He'll never like it...''
209
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,199
We prepped him for like 3 hours,
''We go in the bus you put in the tape...''
210
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,911
He finally managed to open his
mouth, ''Uh, we made this demo...''
211
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,119
We were listening to Carpenter,
Ewo sat smoking and drinking Lonkero
212
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,950
And in true Ewo fashion he pondered
''Mm.. let's give it another spin...''
213
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,437
''Mm.. maybe we can
work something out...''
214
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,633
Tell it now to the good
people of Finland!
215
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,989
We had a gig in Bischofswerda,
Ewo still had some 200 tapes left.
216
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,798
That's when he lost his nerve:
217
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,634
''l've had it with this
shit!'' and he hurled the box -
218
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,838
right on down a hill smack
in the middle of a highway -
219
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,918
and just like in American movies
the demo box crashes down, -
220
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,597
and instantly a huge truck comes
- wroom - and levels the contents!
221
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,997
So l wonder if there's still
time to impregnate a mare?
222
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,595
l still have some credit left..
223
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,393
Hot stuff!
224
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,199
Check out the goons
- the goons have a couple of bags.
225
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:41,599
Kes鋚ottu.
226
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,956
Which department?
- Department of poo!
227
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,913
''We were out last night with the
boys, l drank a half of Koskenkorva -
228
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,629
and Jussa drank the other half
and Terssi too drank a half, -
229
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,269
and we were all, like, so drunk!''
230
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,516
''And we didn't a sleep wink that
night and in the morning -
231
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,196
when we woke up we had
a terrible hangover!''
232
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,919
So it goes. Seems like Tero
won't be here tonight.
233
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,030
The album came out in November 1997.
234
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,999
At that point we also
found our ambitions, -
235
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,199
something that came
characteristic of us -
236
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,911
A healthy, na铑ve will to prove
ourselves, to really go over the top.
237
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,189
That's when the acoustic stuff
gave way to a more bombastic style.
238
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,189
Not only an average keyboardist
but also a tolerable mechanic!
239
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,189
''The scent of a woman was not mine''
240
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:03,190
lt's simply not possible to begin
a song with a line like that! Fuck!
241
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,352
This song's a knife in his back...
242
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,516
lt's not possible l wrote that!
243
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,992
What were you thinking at the moment?
- l really don't know!
244
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,030
l stand behind all of my lyrics
except that one - it simply doesn't work!
245
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,597
Well, the lyrics to Elvenpath
are quite hilarious too...
246
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,997
''Trivial boasting...no high hopes...
a rural band...from Kitee..''
247
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,798
There were a few reasons
why we went more ''metal''...
248
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,999
We all liked heavy metal...
249
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,994
Jukka, Emppu and me all have a metal
background, that's where we come from.
250
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,598
And it might have been boring to
do just acoustic stuff after a while.
251
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:14,630
Tarja's voice was also too dramatic,
too bombastic for that atmosphere.
252
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,314
So we figured we'd make the
music more bombastic, too.
253
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,392
We first visited Spinefarm
after we had signed the deal.
254
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,638
We were pretty quiet boys
when we walked in!
255
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,351
''Here's Ewo'' -''Hi!''
- ''Go sit over there somewhere!''
256
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:53,000
Now there's a tour poster!
Mega-bueno-iglesias-poster!
257
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,997
l saw a huge Children of Bodom
Something Wild -poster on the door -
258
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,438
and l wondered when we
could have such cool posters, too!
259
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,269
This is the Potaskavaara Gym...
260
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,398
After the album came out
in the end of October 1997 -
261
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,559
we still had doubts if
this is ever going to work live.
262
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,994
That year l moved to Kuopio
to study environmental sciences.
263
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,198
One of the greatest moments
in the history of Nightwish -
264
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,518
is when l listened to the
singles chart on the radio one Sunday-
265
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,718
and heard that Carpenter
had risen to number 15...
266
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,794
lt felt better than the later
platinum album for Century Child.
267
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,118
Cold shivers ran down my back
as l listened to the radio.
268
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,834
After that l went to walk
in the park for two hours -
269
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:52,995
and l wondered ''Oh my God
what have l gotten myself into''
270
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,200
But that was only the beginning.
271
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,990
lf people bought the album,
we thought we might try playing live -
272
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,199
maybe do a couple of gigs...
273
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,108
''Nightwish - a band from
the better side of Helsinki city limits.''
274
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,997
Didn't we organize the first
gig in Kitee ourselves?
275
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,198
Yeah, a New Year's disco,
a crowd of 400...
276
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,832
''People jubilant at a Disco concert''
277
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,630
''Everybody except drummer Jukka
stood frozen on stage -
278
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,668
like they were in
a high school auditorium.''
279
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,512
l bet it was like that...
- An exciting experience!
280
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,396
l had played there many
times with my former bands -
281
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,918
But this was the first time
we had an album out -
282
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,197
and people really came
to check us out.
283
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,198
- Scary...
- lt was frightening!
284
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,711
And then Lepakko,
Helsinki, January 9, 1998...
285
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,999
l've never had such stage fright
in my life, it was horrible!
286
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,716
l was about to faint,
l had a strange taste in my mouth...
287
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,710
lt was living hell!
288
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,192
Even 5 hours before the gig,
l've never seen you so messed up!
289
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:06,198
The gig was not that special,
everybody was stiff as a corpse...
290
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,797
l remember the feeling when
Angels Fall First charted, -
291
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,839
We did some gigs and people
showed up, that's when it hit me:
292
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,198
There's something going on!
293
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:23,269
We got a huge surge of energy,
and we really went for it, like -
294
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,633
let's practice like crazy and
go all the way, write huge songs...
295
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,718
The result was Oceanborn.
296
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,998
''Tuomas Holopainen reveals
that the sound will be huge!''
297
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,669
l'm a bit edgy today...
- Have some booze! A tall one!
298
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,629
Check out Sheik Ali Hassan...
Osama summer look!
299
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,833
Marco is actually
a retired pirate captain...
300
00:34:11,240 --> 00:34:15,392
Here we have a female singer,
also a notorious lush...
301
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,279
Then we suddenly thought of
Sami who had played in Nattvindens Gr鈚.
302
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,275
Like, why look farther than that...
303
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:49,198
Then Sami joined and...
it was OK. lt clicked.
304
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,791
A nice little promo picture from 1998...
305
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:00,198
Guess which three band members
just got out of the army?
306
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,519
l had the idea to have a contrast
for Tarja's voice on two songs.
307
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:10,193
l'd learned from my mistakes and
knew not to open my own mouth again.
308
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:16,198
For a couple of songs
l wanted a more masculine feel -
309
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,991
and l had liked Wilska's voice
in Nattvinden's Gr鈚, the sound of it...
310
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:26,109
His pronunciation, the way
he growls and improvises...
311
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:39,280
l remember when Tuomas called
and said he wanted ''a contrast lout''
312
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,318
lt was probably the fastest
studio session in my whole life.
313
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,639
''Come to the studio
on Tuesday at 6... ''-
314
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,998
''Here are the lyrics, there's
the booth, there's the mike'' -
315
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:56,190
ln three minutes Tuomas explained
that the song should go - ''like this''!
316
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,199
l think Devil took two takes...-
317
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,798
and with Pharaoh we wasted even three.
318
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,998
So l was in the Kitee studio
for a total of 52 minutes.
319
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,992
''OK, that's it - thank you!''
And then back to Savonlinna.
320
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:22,190
And a while later l noticed
''Oops the album's hit the charts!''
321
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,278
The following gigs had
some particular issues of course...
322
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:10,391
''For black l am
and known throughout the world''
323
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:20,715
''One lord and king
from the land of Prester John!''
324
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:32,195
''One lord and king
from the land of Prester John!''
325
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,993
...so maybe we'll
tell it some other time.
326
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,918
Would be cool... - What?
-A boat ride!
327
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:02,915
l have absolutely no recollection...
328
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,198
l've had it, just don't drown please!
329
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,274
Oh yeah, now l remember...
330
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,518
You can leave your shoes ashore.
-No you can't! -Yes you can!
331
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,718
Don't rock the boat!
332
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:32,708
l'll tell you it will
suck up water any time now -
333
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,918
...and that serves you just right!
334
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:42,198
Get out of the water now,
the firemen are on their way!
335
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:46,710
This is not safe,
these guys are up to no good!
336
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:05,113
l haven't even started drinking yet.
-That's nice.
337
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:18,198
Ouch!
338
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,197
So are you like, drunk yet?
Confess now!
339
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:51,389
This won't be on the DVD...
340
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,716
Yeah, l've masturbated twice.
341
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,191
These guys are going to get arrested...
342
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:25,195
The studio session for Oceanborn
was living hell...it was horrible.
343
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,196
lt was fun recording Angels and
Wishmaster, but Oceanborn and -
344
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,835
Century Child were extremely
difficult in the making.
345
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,996
When you listen to it, Oceanborn
is maybe the most technical one.
346
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:41,198
Yes, the most difficult
songs we ever wrote...
347
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,989
Especially hard, too, cos we were
sloppier musicians at the time.
348
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:48,277
We were definitely pushing our
limits on that one.
349
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,999
Tempos got faster, hooks
multiplied, versatility tripled...
350
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,270
We worked long and hard on that one.
351
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,398
lt was completely recorded in
Kitee, except for the mix.
352
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,718
lt was the first album that was
really rehearsed, and in a sense -
353
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,590
l consider it our first album,
as Angels was sort of a demo.
354
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,396
''DON'T TOUCH A THlNG''
355
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,194
At that point Stratovarius was
a huge influence for everybody -
356
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,398
- and you can hear that
on the album, too.
357
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:28,196
''Success knocked Nightwish out''
358
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,718
lt was definitely the biggest
influence on Oceanborn...
359
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,717
The whole A-part you say?
- Yeah, play the whole part...
360
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:39,198
Originally Ewo suggested Tolkki
as the mixer, and l was ''right on!''
361
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,719
Tolkki was a god at the time...
Can't remember how it happened -
362
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:49,189
But in the end Karmila did it,
and of course we were very pleased.
363
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,594
lt was sort of a culture shock
to go to Finnvox and meet Karmila -
364
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,396
We'd heard stories, and he was
sort of a god, too, especially for Tero...
365
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,718
and once again we were
very quiet boys!
366
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,995
But we got on great - once we had
gotten used to his sense of humor.
367
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,838
We decided that this is the guy
who we want in the future, too.
368
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,271
This one? Yeah, but this
is just the part...
369
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,269
Very good...
370
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,518
''A shitty sound''? No way,
it rocks man! lt's heavy.
371
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:27,596
lt's hard'n'heavy,
the sound of Paiste wailing.
372
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:31,198
OK...let's crawl through
the first part then.
373
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:02,196
lt was pretty cool...
374
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:23,196
Screwed up!
375
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,278
We are a democratic band,
we talk about stuff -
376
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,989
and we磛e never had
many musical quarrels.
377
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,718
Usually we sort it out,
but ''Moondance'' was an exception -
378
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:44,234
Emppu said that he definitely
doesn't want the song included.
379
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,196
lt's the only occasion in our
history...but l think it fits in.
380
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,996
Yeah, it's part of the album...
381
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:53,196
Country girl look...
382
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,196
l've never understood the
maple-leaves-in-the hair-thing!
383
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:03,596
''The hardest metal of the
year comes from Kitee...''
384
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:11,198
lt was a completely different
kind of session...
385
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,518
The drums were recorded in a locker
room of the Kitee sports hall!
386
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,590
lt was quite claustrophobic
to play in a 3x3 m locker room -
387
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,838
All alone, doors closed...
388
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,398
The other guys were downstairs
some 200 meters away -
389
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,196
and we communicated through
a crackling headphones system -
390
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,560
Should we listen to it?
- The session was totally amateurish...
391
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,996
lt was a learning process,
a pain in the ass -
392
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:49,198
but well worth the trouble in the end.
393
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:57,995
A lot of people still think that
it's our best album, The NW album.
394
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:05,353
''Nightwish is now priority number
one for Tuomas Holopainen''
395
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,513
That summer we also started
gigging heavily...
396
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,718
- A very nice summer.
- Yes, sure was, nice crowds -
397
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,394
And we found out that this
thing really does work.
398
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,831
Just warming up my fingers!
399
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:15,198
When did we do ''Sleeping Sun''
for Germany...?
400
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,518
We started getting a lot of
foreign attention then...
401
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,718
lt was in the Fall the same year.
402
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:33,196
l was originally against
the whole idea -
403
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,908
l was told that the song
must be four minutes tops -
404
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,197
a hit formula, a big chorus,
must be a ballad...
405
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,191
''Nightwish, Oceanborn
- Masterpiece of Finnish Heavy Metal''!
406
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,718
''Show us your titties!''
407
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,114
Well, we had done a video for
''Sacrament of Wilderness''...
408
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,994
Let's not talk about that.
- We better not!
409
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,196
The legendary pigtail video...
410
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:36,192
We started getting a lot of foreign
attention, especially from Germany.
411
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:41,550
Through Drakkar we got the chance
to tour Europe supporting Rage -
412
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,118
Rage are on Drakkar, right?
-Yup, they were.
413
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,270
lt was a mind-boggling experience...
414
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,912
lt was a good school, it made us
musically a lot tighter as a band -
415
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:07,279
and it added to our own vision of
the band, it did so much...
416
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,836
lt definitely gave us a lot of
confidence as a band at the time.
417
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,628
At the time we were asking
ourselves who we really are...
418
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,394
A bunch of clowns and some diva
that escaped from the opera?
419
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,194
And they're playing heavy metal...
what is this thing all about?
420
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,994
We were definitely searching for
our identity as a band then.
421
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,398
Like, why does some guy in
Austria come and watch us -
422
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,832
and see us bang away our greasy,
Carelian heavy metal?
423
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,718
l was totally upset when l
heard that Sinergy would support us -
424
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,191
on the European tour for Wishmaster...
425
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,518
Like, you have a support
band that features -
426
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,838
Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala
on guitars? They support us?!
427
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:13,198
And Marco Hietala on bass...
- Yeah, even that...
428
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,519
''3 hands and 6 penises,
call me a mutant''!
429
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:21,196
So...whew!
430
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:38,198
Okay, calm down guys...
431
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:44,196
Here's a wisdom, ye pole
standeth one kilometer away!
432
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,193
Remember whence thou come
from, and whose sons ye be!
433
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,192
Are you from p鰇sylandia?
434
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,398
There's the same girl again
- See the Ch鋜鰊 guys?
435
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,836
For fuck's sake... Miss Orange Bosom!
436
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,198
lt's one of these situations
where you really should -
437
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,398
have been there to make
any sense of it...
438
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:17,268
Come over here!
- Oh, Jasmine!
439
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,669
Eero did these..
- Not bad, looks very natural!
440
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,190
Got a light? Gimme light!
441
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,113
Uh, yeah, but where did
l put my cigarettes?
442
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,632
ls this Ewo, the Ewo person?
443
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:53,995
- Can l have this pillow please?
444
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,637
Marco? - Yup?
- A word to the wise, please?
445
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:57,198
l remember the feeling
when Oceanborn was in the can.
446
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,518
l had the feeling l'll never
be able to write another song.
447
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,880
l felt l'd given everything l got,
all my creative energy was drained.
448
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,998
With Wishmaster l had felt
like doing another one right away -
449
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:13,550
l had lot of ideas, and l wanted
to make everything much better.
450
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:18,715
But after Oceanborn l was
depleted, all empty inside.
451
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:27,391
lt's audible on Angels and
Oceanborn, only on those two albums -
452
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,639
you can hear the genuine
enthusiasm, the lost innocence -
453
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,918
that no longer can be heard
on Wishmaster or Century Child.
454
00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:40,473
Two years old, on a meadow near my
home, when l was still innocent and blond!
455
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,718
Now it's completely different...
- lt really is.
456
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,795
After the success of Oceanborn,
we've just lost it, l've got to admit.
457
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:01,197
Do you think you can achieve it
again? - l don't think so. No.
458
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,229
But you're still searching for it?
- Of course.
459
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,198
Ouch, that looks bad...
l wonder where that came from...
460
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,716
Just sweat it out there, pal!
461
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:11,198
...but on the Bless the Child
tour l totally enjoyed myself again...
462
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,919
l mean, what's it called?
Bless the Child? Century Child?
463
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,637
What the fuck is the album called?
- Kantturakidi
464
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,999
No, what is it? Century Child?
465
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:30,158
''The big-handed girl in
the waterfall'' album!
466
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,198
Ow.
467
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,198
We're skyrocketing, pal...
468
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,989
Marco, remember to smile
in that direction.
469
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,629
Now we're rolling...
470
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,916
Holy fuck...
471
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,913
The morons are being catapulted
into the sky!
472
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,716
Damn, this is a rush!
473
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,518
Waiting for it!
474
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,278
Here we go again!
475
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,396
The cable tightens...
476
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:29,199
The lights are flashing...
This rocks big time!
477
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,918
Any second now...
478
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,196
This is insane!
479
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,638
We're really high now...
480
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,198
And now we'll take the plunge!
481
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,838
Your last words?
- Goodbye!
482
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,596
Wishmaster and Century Child
didn't have that feeling.
483
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:16,193
For me, as a songwriter,
they were not easy ones to write.
484
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,196
They lacked the certain innocence.
485
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,997
Especially on the latest
one it was extremely hard work.
486
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,199
l was thinking everything
in the context of the whole album.
487
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,198
Horrible shit!
488
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:58,195
My grandmom used to rub noses
so that only one eye remained!
489
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,398
Hi, it's me again...
490
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,638
The other reason for going
to Kuopio was that l had to -
491
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,317
get some milk for the kids...
492
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:11,199
Guys, with freedom
comes responsibility...
493
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,718
Tuned in ''B''!
494
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,994
But you can never get back
the feeling on the first two albums.
495
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,789
That's for sure.
496
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:45,596
Night Owl ready for action!
497
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,996
The toast is missing...
498
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,392
The Night Owl is a notorious
broadcast that commences -
499
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:56,992
when the last bottle of Vodka
or the last beer has been opened.
500
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:58,719
This is just the thing again!
501
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,998
Usually there's only two
people awake, the rest are asleep -
502
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,994
and want their calm, that's when
the Night Owl broadcast begins.
503
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,199
Nightstalker starts the camcorder,
usually in Nightvision mode -
504
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,000
and then it's
''This is just the thing again!''
505
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,196
This is just the thing again!
506
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,193
Here we go again...!
507
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,592
lt was like this - we screwed it!
508
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:36,553
We tried shooting his ass but
our Tuomas is such of a chaste boy.
509
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:41,199
The best Night Owl show was on
the bus trip back from St. Petersburg...
510
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,518
Everybody had passed out,
and we went around -
511
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,114
painting people's lips
red with a felt tip pen...
512
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,708
This is the Night Owl
- this is is just the thing again!
513
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,916
This is the thing in its
most pure and noble form!
514
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,600
And here we go.
515
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,198
Emppu ...in the spotlight.
516
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,198
Fuck, l really can't figure
out this money at all!
517
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:52,919
Have you seen the pipari cookies?
518
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,193
Century Child cookie.
- Hot damn.
519
01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:00,513
We also have a...
Marco pipari!
520
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,393
Tarja pipari...
521
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,196
Jukka cookie...
- Keppi cookie!
522
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:10,194
Emppu pipari...
- The pipari of all piparis!
523
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,198
Turvajussi...security guy!
524
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:23,558
What about Tommi's relation
to oriental martial arts?
525
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,918
Go for it!
526
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:44,598
We've never had much success
in Japan, we've never played there.
527
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,509
But we went to Korea - was it
because of ''Walking in the Air''?
528
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:55,996
Yeah, it was sort of a local radio hit.
- So we went there after Wishmaster.
529
01:06:56,240 --> 01:07:02,998
There was a 50.000 people festival,
a free concert organized by the state.
530
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,708
The arrangements were
absolutely top notch.
531
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,634
At the airport we wondered
about all these suit-and-tie guys -
532
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,189
like is there a presidential
visit or something...
533
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,637
But why are they surrounding us?
They were our bodyguards!
534
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,599
We got into our minibus that
would drive us to our hotel -
535
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,638
And suddenly these cars with
flashing lights accompanied us.
536
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,194
The bodyguards sat there
behind darkened windows -
537
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,629
they cut in in front of
other cars to make way for us, -
538
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:27,990
one car ahead and the other
behind, wedging through traffic.
539
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:32,392
And the hotel was
a five-star paradise, too.
540
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,838
When it was time for the gig,
we were supposed to play a full set -
541
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,998
as headliners for 50.000 people,
but we had no sound check...
542
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:43,392
Two minutes before the gig we
were told that it will also be live on TV
543
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:49,000
Then the schedule went awry,
and we started wondering...
544
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,716
We were something like
2 hours behind the schedule.
545
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:57,192
And after 3 songs the local police
came and said that we must stop.
546
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:02,434
The concert permit was about to expire,
we'd still have time for one more song.
547
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,198
There's a girl behind you, film her!
548
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,994
Luckily we understood
we'd better start drinking.
549
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:23,995
The chief body guard was
an army instructor or something.
550
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:30,190
And our lighting guy, a jiujitsu
expert and an all-around superman -
551
01:11:30,440 --> 01:11:32,510
He just had to try...
552
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,839
He started wrestling the guard
just a little at first, just for fun.
553
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,278
Then when Tommi twisted as hard as
he could, the guard calmly pressed -
554
01:11:40,440 --> 01:11:43,398
a spot behind Tommi's ear,
and Tommi fell right flat on his back -
555
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,638
He totally lost his hearing,
and got knocked out!
556
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,838
The guard started massaging
the spot behind his ear again -
557
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,998
his ears started ringing, and
he could slowly rise up again.
558
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:14,198
Not a good try!
559
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:58,279
Gen! Gen! Genghis Khan!
Enslaver of nations!
560
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:02,719
Happy birthday to you...
561
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,350
l'm the only one sober,
the rest are on the juice.
562
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,198
OK, it is Tommi's bachelor party.
563
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,395
Tommi's bachelor party in
Brasilia, Brazil...
564
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,633
Just water, only water.
565
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:50,189
Kes? Pottu! Kes? Pottu!
566
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:48,592
Talking about the security...
- Jukka's little dive in Moscow...
567
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,835
The first time we were in Russia
the local record label guy warned us -
568
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,918
that the crowd is really wild,
the fans are really enthusiastic.
569
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,998
Especially the front row
- it can even be a little dangerous -
570
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,994
so be careful, don't go too
near the front of the stage.
571
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:07,199
Of course we had to go and
shake their hands after the gig.
572
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,350
We had a small accident, but
Doctor Rock is already on it!
573
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,718
Doctor V鋘sk?tends to the wounded.
574
01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,118
There's a super disco on that boat...
575
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:03,317
The story of Nightwish ends
here, l think, probably.
576
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,838
We come from Russia.
- Welcome home then.
577
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,918
Yeah, home sweet home... Now
we'll have peaceful stay in Kitee...
578
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,999
-Maybe we could go to sauna
and have a few beers...
579
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,196
We have a few cans with us!
580
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,276
ln case somebody gets thirsty!
581
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:28,595
How long have you had
this rehearsal place?
582
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,280
A few years...
583
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:38,511
lf l have to choose whether
l'll pay the rent or buy a guitar...
584
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,394
l will buy the guitar.
585
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,198
-This is starting to look bad...
586
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,594
This is my last month's rent.
- Please don't!
587
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,918
Tero?
588
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:07,639
l'll live.
589
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:22,391
Why did you lose your
innocence then?
590
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:25,990
Maybe it was the success...
- Success surely did it.
591
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:30,392
Everybody says that it
doesn't do a thing, but it does.
592
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,997
lt affects you unconsciously,
it will change everybody, always.
593
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:39,199
Everything was totally different
when we started recording Wishmaster.
594
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,638
lt was the most fun l've ever had
in the studio, at least for me -
595
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,036
l was present during
the whole production.
596
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:59,313
For me it was the easiest
of our albums.
597
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,996
Wishmaster is sort of
an intermediary album.
598
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,118
There's nothing new in there
that wasn't already on Oceanborn.
599
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,278
The production's a bit better,
the songs are equally good -
600
01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:13,194
Everything's just a bit bigger.
With Century Child we started afresh.
601
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:27,791
lt's snowing...
even the sky weeps for us!
602
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,918
How many times l've told you
not to mess with the cords!
603
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,589
Just play those damn drums!
- Got no sticks now, pal!
604
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,198
This comic book is really exciting...
605
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,518
Tarja makes up...
606
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,912
l got you another cymbal!
607
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,196
Maybe there's too many?
608
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,195
Give me a break!
609
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:35,199
Here or there? ls this a better place?
610
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,949
A fork, a knife and a napkin too?
- Naturally!
611
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:25,076
My ''little angel!''
- More like a ''large angel''!
612
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,994
Hey wait, that was a good one!
613
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,196
How are you supposed
to keep a straight face?!
614
01:23:18,440 --> 01:23:21,079
l am supposed to bring
souvenirs to mommy bear...
615
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,596
lt's been a long journey
and... let me connect.
616
01:23:26,440 --> 01:23:28,192
Oops, this was the longer version.
617
01:23:28,440 --> 01:23:31,398
Kama Sutra of Kerava presents!
618
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,196
lt's yer ol' bulldozer of love!
619
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,193
Aw! The tape started too late!
620
01:25:30,440 --> 01:25:32,715
Now that's what l call
unnecessary footage...
621
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:36,193
l'm getting there!
622
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,995
Like two testicles they are!
623
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:55,398
Can you blow rings with it?!
624
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,596
So l understand nobody
else wants a puff?
625
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,198
l wonder if this is
relevant at all? - Maybe...
626
01:26:06,440 --> 01:26:10,399
Pants down! - Here's some
entertaintment for you guys...
627
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,989
Do you think we'd get our
asses kicked if we did that?
628
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,198
Naah... - Let's do it.
629
01:26:34,440 --> 01:26:38,194
lt's a deal? - lt's a deal.
630
01:27:08,440 --> 01:27:11,193
lt's one of those things...
never mind the bollocks.
631
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:34,990
Stupid story...
-Maybe we'll continue the official line.
632
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,435
Stupid story...
-Maybe we'll continue the official line.
633
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,992
l wanted a young boy's
voice to recite a poem.
634
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:49,678
Of course it had to be
good English, a native speaker.
635
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:57,717
We got Neil Hardwick's son
Sam to recite the poem.
636
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:05,118
lt might be that Dead Boys Poem
is the best song we ever wrote.
637
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:20,995
We've been able to... l don't know.
638
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:26,117
lt is such of a personal song...
A sort of a...
639
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:30,639
The basic idea is that
if l were to die tomorrow -
640
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:35,591
lf l really died,
there'd be so much l wanted to say.
641
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,392
There are so many
people whom l should thank -
642
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,191
So many l should apologize
to but haven't apologized.
643
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,114
So many people who l should
tell to go fuck themselves -
644
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:49,834
but haven't had the guts to do so far.
645
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:56,149
l just had to write a song for them.
646
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,998
A Finnish man rarely voices
his thanks or apologies -
647
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:05,474
but with music it's easier,
at least for me.
648
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:09,998
My mother and father
are the best people in the world -
649
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:14,279
but l haven't been able to
tell them what they mean to me.
650
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,994
lf they listen to the song,
read the lyrics, maybe they'll find -
651
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:20,073
themselves there, too, and understand.
652
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,993
Same thing with some
of my best friends -
653
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,708
and the whole Nightwish thing,
that in the last five years -
654
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:28,918
has grown to be such of
a big part of my life, if not the biggest.
655
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,628
The band mates and everything
connected to it.
656
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,838
How important they are...
657
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,396
lt's hard for a Finnish man
to tell it to their face.
658
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,838
Or apologize to them...
You'd rather write a song about it.
659
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,998
And write the kind of
lyrics that Dead Boys Poem has.
660
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:48,391
Read it there, because l
can't say it to your face -
661
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:52,077
and maybe you'll understand.
662
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:56,916
Slaying the Dreamer is maybe
the other side of the coin then?
663
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,198
lt is exactly that.
664
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:09,518
l don't have the guts to go
and say to somebody's face -
665
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:14,595
that you're an asshole,
a total jerk-off of a person.
666
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:19,635
So l write a song about it,
and hopefully they recognize themselves.
667
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,838
Tarja does death grunt on this one!
668
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:34,193
That's it!
669
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:36,996
Heavy Metal as good as it comes!
670
01:33:06,440 --> 01:33:09,398
What did you get?
- Books about Hungary.
671
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:13,593
Oh, they're books...
-Pornographic publications!
672
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:16,595
Tarja is a kinky girl...
673
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:20,000
Toilet? lt's that one over there...toi!
674
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:21,199
Toilet? lt's that one over there...toi!
675
01:33:24,440 --> 01:33:26,635
l just let myself in the toi!
676
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:43,596
You've got to have a true metal fork.
677
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:51,198
Then Wishmaster came out in 2000,
the album release show was -
678
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,996
at the Kitee lcehall, and there
we also got our first gold albums -
679
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:58,789
these four, including the Sacrament
single and Oceanborn...
680
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,199
And now, ''Kiteen Pallo 90'' kicks in.
681
01:34:13,440 --> 01:34:17,911
Make no mistake about who
wrote that tune! Posh...
682
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:24,597
An anthem made for the Kitee baseball
team a couple of years ago.
683
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:32,075
Then the boys are going to Brazil!
684
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:36,197
ln the summer we toured South America...
- Forgot about that one!
685
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:39,193
lf l had to name the tour
that l have the most fond memories of -
686
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,271
it' d have to be our
first South American tour.
687
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:43,197
Damn, it was so cool...
688
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:49,676
At that time we'd yet to experience
all the fans and glamour -
689
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:53,190
that can come for a rock band.
690
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,636
When we went there,
our album had just come out...
691
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:02,278
Chile, Argentina, Brazil,
Panama and Mexico...
692
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:04,516
and an intermediate landing in Bolivia -
693
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:07,200
where we had a press conference.
694
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:19,918
A press in Hungary...
695
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:55,191
Nice scratching in Barcelona!
- He's got crabs!
696
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:04,998
This picture was in a magazine?
-Yup.
697
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,994
The camcorder just ran
out of batteries!
698
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:18,716
Mind your step!
699
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:31,197
People fainting and running
after our van, banging the windows...
700
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:47,790
We were like ''so this is how it is!''
701
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:50,508
Not very many lighting guys
do their laundry in an embassy!
702
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:52,716
Maybe we could take a pee
in the bushes as in Finland.
703
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:55,394
Well, this is a Finland
away from Finland.
704
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:59,196
Remember to fight, too!
-And take a squat crap!
705
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:01,195
How do you do!
706
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:02,515
Pleased to meet you.
707
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:31,998
We'll take the group photo first.
708
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:36,112
Rapid byxor!
709
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:41,118
Sumi the Finn!
710
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:54,198
Keppi guys in Brazil!
711
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:57,838
Sauna at 8.30...
712
01:38:02,440 --> 01:38:03,395
Bachelor partee!
713
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:06,632
Hey, German police!
714
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:11,829
''Browner is the cornhole
of a lad so nice and gay''
715
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:16,636
''Dip a stick therein
and gangrene will eat it away!''
716
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:19,709
The driver shows some skin!
717
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:21,188
Vitun Pulu!
718
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:22,670
- Mom!
719
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:24,398
You can check it out on the DVD!
720
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:29,199
l think everybody in the band,
and in the crew, -
721
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:34,760
has two personalities,
and the other comes out on the tour...
722
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:39,199
After a few nights on the road,
4 AM in the morning after the gig -
723
01:38:39,440 --> 01:38:44,594
and you've had a few drinks,
you're a totally different person.
724
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:47,596
These guys are really dangerous...
725
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:49,035
Kill, kill!
726
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:53,597
At least they have backstage
passes...and a roll of paper?
727
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:57,714
He must be a wanker!
728
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:03,195
lt's of course a part of yourself
- but it's still a different person!
729
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:18,198
He's probably passed out...
or missed the flight...
730
01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:24,589
You'd spot him right away...
l wonder what's happened?
731
01:39:26,440 --> 01:39:31,195
There! No...that keijo
has too much hair....
732
01:39:34,440 --> 01:39:37,637
l was looking for a bald guy!
733
01:39:38,440 --> 01:39:40,908
Goddamn! - So shall we go?
- You Teletubby...
734
01:39:41,440 --> 01:39:47,197
l thought you passed out, missed
the flight, took the wrong flight...
735
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:53,918
- Have some of that!
- Gee!
736
01:39:57,440 --> 01:40:00,398
Last call for T Stolt, T Stolt...
737
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:02,398
Drummer! - Light show!
738
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:05,991
The new material sounds like
l can't drink before the gig -
739
01:40:06,440 --> 01:40:09,398
l got to be able to sync
the lights with the music!
740
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:14,191
lt is so wrong, this is
a personal revenge!
741
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:27,153
- Tommi! Your jacket looks just like the
one Jackson wore in the ''Beat lt'' video!
742
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:36,589
Left...straight ahead..
says Nevalainen on the door..
743
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:39,670
Please don't!
744
01:40:48,440 --> 01:40:52,194
Sample some! Take as much as
you can with a single gulp!
745
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:03,918
- You spineless morons!
746
01:41:34,440 --> 01:41:36,396
lt's going to be on the DVD, right?
747
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:43,398
Some ice...
748
01:41:47,440 --> 01:41:50,000
Some good whiskey...
749
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:02,313
And a drink is done.
750
01:42:02,440 --> 01:42:03,395
Yesh.
751
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:10,676
Secret ingredient,
dishwashing liquid!
752
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:12,393
l want more bombs for the next tour!
753
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,196
Was that intelligent enough?
754
01:42:26,440 --> 01:42:29,989
Jukka, what happened?
Did you break something?
755
01:42:33,440 --> 01:42:38,912
''Droopy the bear l was named
for my ears hang so funnily!''
756
01:42:40,440 --> 01:42:43,910
''l am just a nice little bear
- and chubby too!''
757
01:42:44,440 --> 01:42:47,398
''l play with children
all of the time''
758
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:51,919
''l am just a nice little bear
- and chubby too!''
759
01:42:52,440 --> 01:42:54,396
''And children
love me so!''
760
01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,911
l'm the Nightwish lighting designer...
761
01:43:03,440 --> 01:43:07,194
You know guys, it's 9 AM
on a Sunday morning...
762
01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:13,189
Hey, the church is at 10!
The priest is onstage about 10.30...
763
01:43:37,440 --> 01:43:40,398
lt's still very early...
764
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:44,589
Some Winnie the Pooh-erotica...
he's got his mouth full of honey!
765
01:44:14,440 --> 01:44:17,193
That guy is too much!
766
01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:26,118
Maybe it is a bit of a clich閐
picture you get on the DVD -
767
01:44:26,440 --> 01:44:31,389
but who wants to see me stretch
before the gig, or go jogging...
768
01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:36,589
Or Tuomas writing a SMS-message
or reading a book in bed?
769
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:49,879
Of course it's not like
that all of the time...
770
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:52,110
l've got to go and
check the fire in the sauna...
771
01:44:52,440 --> 01:44:57,389
But as we all know, people do
have a drink or two in this scene.
772
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:05,190
...even a one too many...
773
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:10,198
But you only live once, you know.
774
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:14,318
Oops.
-Seems like we broke a bottle now.
775
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:18,038
Well, back to business.
776
01:45:28,440 --> 01:45:31,193
l'm not really up to it right now.
777
01:45:31,440 --> 01:45:33,908
Say something...
who called you just a while ago?
778
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:37,197
Mom called.
- Did you tell any lies?
779
01:45:37,440 --> 01:45:42,992
-White lies. She asked how l'm
feeling and l said that l feel great.
780
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:45,911
- l hope that didn't ruin everyone's mood...
781
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:49,709
l remember the South American people,
the normal people -
782
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:55,193
they have this culture of hugging and
kissing, it's very charming...
783
01:45:56,440 --> 01:45:59,398
They're hugging you all the time,
it doesn't mean anything special
784
01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:02,718
lt's just friendliness...
785
01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:18,795
- Are you sure you've got
enough foam in there?
786
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:24,196
A Finnish hillbilly from Karjala
could learn something from them...
787
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:28,997
We're in Kitee, at the S-Market
supermarket. Legendary indeed!
788
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:32,198
lt really, like, rules man! Rules!
789
01:46:32,440 --> 01:46:34,396
Wait a sec...
790
01:46:35,440 --> 01:46:38,591
There's nothing apart from
Nightwish going on in Kitee!
791
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:43,988
Nightwish keeps the whole town
rolling! Nightwish rules!
792
01:46:44,440 --> 01:46:49,195
Kitee is like a mini-sized Finland..
- lt's a double edged sword...
793
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:51,596
Most of it is very positive...
794
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:56,192
You've got to come with us!
- Good evening from Night Owl!
795
01:46:59,440 --> 01:47:02,398
lmage is everything...
796
01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:11,030
lt's a shitty job,
but someone's got to do it!
797
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:12,593
You always got to have a spare one...
798
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:14,836
This is just the thing again!
799
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:17,390
Look there! Really dangerous keijos...
800
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:22,397
Please accept our apology
for we do not have toast in our arms...
801
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:25,998
These are really dangerous keijos...
-Fuckin' lethal man...
802
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:29,118
Especially that one.
803
01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:33,991
And that guy. From Tohmaj鋜vi.
804
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:36,995
Don't speak a word of Finnish,
just Tohmaj鋜vi or Russian.
805
01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:40,118
Fuckin' dangerous keijos.
This is just the thing again!
806
01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:42,390
Soon we'll find ourselves
at Karhu-baari with our asses whupped!
807
01:47:42,640 --> 01:47:46,189
There was a bit of an aftermath
with the Russian Night Owl show,
808
01:47:46,440 --> 01:47:50,194
The heart of Kitee nightlife
-the Karhu Bar.
809
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:08,395
- Jukka! This is really good!
- What is it? - Lordi!
810
01:48:31,440 --> 01:48:34,398
''Dunces and Bitch Driven pulled
a healthy crowd''
811
01:49:03,440 --> 01:49:06,000
What the fuck is Tero doin'?!
812
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,396
Finnish people have as many
emotions as the South Americans-
813
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:19,110
but we are just not able
to show them...We can't or won't.
814
01:49:21,440 --> 01:49:23,032
We are afraid to.
815
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:27,316
Tuomas, what do you long for?
816
01:49:28,440 --> 01:49:31,398
During the winters, this is
just the thing that l long for.
817
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:36,839
- l hadn't really been abroad
before touring with this band.
818
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:41,590
And of course it then felt that
Kitee is such of a small place.
819
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:47,592
- l haven't been able to find
a place quite like this anywhere.
820
01:49:49,440 --> 01:49:52,398
But when you磛e been
there and done that...
821
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:57,197
Each time you're abroad,
you always miss the peace -
822
01:49:57,400 --> 01:50:02,872
the small town; home...
Kitee... or as it's now, Joensuu.
823
01:50:03,440 --> 01:50:08,195
But when you've been
home for a month or two -
824
01:50:08,440 --> 01:50:12,592
the idea of going abroad
feels enticing once again.
825
01:50:13,440 --> 01:50:15,396
What is this place, then?
826
01:50:16,440 --> 01:50:21,389
This is our summer cottage.
827
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:25,593
For me and my family it means
so much more than just a summer place.
828
01:50:27,440 --> 01:50:29,590
l don't miss anything here.
That does it.
829
01:50:31,440 --> 01:50:34,398
What makes Tuomas tick,
what makes him write such music?
830
01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:38,599
What makes him write
such lyrics?
831
01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:41,036
Yeah...what could it be?
832
01:50:41,440 --> 01:50:46,514
Who knows. l bet
even Tuomas doesn't know.
833
01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:50,714
ls it success? l don't think so,
it has never been a reason -
834
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:56,553
for us to make music; or for
Tuomas to write songs and lyrics...
835
01:50:57,160 --> 01:50:59,993
What could it be then?
-Longing?
836
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:03,994
Yeah, but for what?
- That is just what we're asking you.
837
01:51:04,440 --> 01:51:07,398
Those are just the kind of questions,
that when the album is done -
838
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:14,955
l remember when l got Century Child
and read through the lyrics -
839
01:51:15,440 --> 01:51:20,195
l felt l had to call Tuomas,
for it seemed the guy was really down.
840
01:51:22,440 --> 01:51:25,796
What's happened to our Tuomas,
he wasn't this bitter before...
841
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:29,038
lf you're going to write
songs like Tuomas does -
842
01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:32,198
Those kind of grand compositions
843
01:51:32,440 --> 01:51:36,194
There just has to be a greater
force that motivates him.
844
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:40,599
A strong feeling, like longing,
or love, or something like that...
845
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:46,000
lf you managed to fulfil that
craving one day, what could you do then?
846
01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:50,995
Nothing! What else could your next
album be then but meaningless?!
847
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:53,913
There just wouldn't be
a purpose anymore.
848
01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:07,390
Fuck! l'm nervous!
849
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:49,998
You're all assholes!
850
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:55,839
Now you broke something...
851
01:52:56,440 --> 01:53:00,399
Last year was the worst year
of my life in many respects.
852
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:04,394
For a year, we'd constantly
been touring and doing gigs.
853
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:07,598
Tensions arose inside the band...
854
01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:11,998
There was generally
a bad vibe on the gigs.
855
01:53:20,440 --> 01:53:22,396
Hey, stop somewhere,
l've got to take a leak!
856
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:24,119
Pee-pee!
857
01:54:22,440 --> 01:54:27,389
Welcome to Finnish winter.
A normal day on the road.
858
01:54:30,960 --> 01:54:34,509
As you can see, it's
nice and warm in the bus
859
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:37,838
And our joy knows no boundaries.
860
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:41,197
r-e-s-t-a-u-r...
861
01:54:53,440 --> 01:54:58,195
Aw, it's all fucked up...
beyond redemption.
862
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:07,598
Take him out for a walk!
863
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:11,838
Dude is all anxious and freezing...
864
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:19,038
Don't, don't, don't!
865
01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:25,118
Didn't feel a thing!
866
01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:46,118
And here we go again!
867
01:55:46,760 --> 01:55:50,992
Siihen ralliin!
Siihen ralliin!
868
01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:07,718
l just have to...
869
01:56:17,080 --> 01:56:20,038
ls my hair OK?
870
01:56:40,640 --> 01:56:43,598
- Anybody have some dough?
Some hillo anyone?
871
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:48,397
l need some batteries...
- You won't get any money from me.
872
01:57:05,880 --> 01:57:08,838
Mr. bus driver, Urkki Kekkonen.
873
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:10,635
And the first redneck
starts brawling...
874
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:14,190
Get the fuckin' camcorder
out of my face!
875
01:58:14,440 --> 01:58:17,591
Somebody will get his ass
kicked when we load out.
876
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,113
''Nightwish -
the new album Century Child''
877
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:31,469
What do you long for?
878
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:33,716
So this is the question,
no further details?
879
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:34,915
Nope.
880
01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:50,479
What l really miss is -
881
01:58:50,880 --> 01:58:54,589
a right kind of balance...
ln everything l do.
882
01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:58,919
A balance for my whole life...
What l definitely want is -
883
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:04,189
that l wouldn't have to be
so stressed up all of the time.
884
01:59:05,440 --> 01:59:12,391
l miss the feeling of happiness.
885
01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:20,598
The feeling of being
proud of yourself...
886
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:23,838
The feeling of being
able to forgive yourself.
887
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:27,390
l'd want to find a balance,
not a routine, definitely not.
888
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:30,597
The right kind of balance
in everything l do...
889
01:59:30,880 --> 01:59:33,713
That's what l've been
looking for for the last 10 years -
890
01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:38,351
but haven't been able to find.
That's the thing that l want.
891
01:59:40,520 --> 01:59:43,478
When you think of a song
like ''Gethsemane'' -
892
01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:46,718
The bottom line of the song...
893
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:51,829
lt gets extremely personal.
894
02:00:06,320 --> 02:00:09,790
lt's all there, and at the time
it made me feel a lot better.
895
02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:15,194
There's nothing taken out...
You can read it all there.
896
02:00:15,840 --> 02:00:19,799
Or when you think about ''Everdream''...
897
02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:23,117
lt is such of a personal song.
898
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:28,992
Opening up about my feelings,
the way l miss a certain person.
899
02:00:33,440 --> 02:00:36,591
lt's pretty much all in there.
900
02:00:40,960 --> 02:00:44,111
When you get one thing done,
there's always something new.
901
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:46,596
When that no longer is the case -
902
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:50,919
l'm afraid there'll be no
new Nightwish album either.
903
02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:07,876
Nothing bothers me!
904
02:01:08,040 --> 02:01:10,600
l just get moody when
my blood sugar runs low!
905
02:01:12,240 --> 02:01:13,912
So!
906
02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:19,589
l'm still pissed off occasionally,
but not as often as a year ago.
907
02:01:20,440 --> 02:01:23,716
A year ago l was pissed off
constantly.
908
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:32,199
Every time an artist works,
be it a painter, musician or actor,
909
02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:38,993
the art never fails to somehow
reflect the artist's state of mind.
910
02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:53,035
Personal relationships
didn't work at all -
911
02:01:53,440 --> 02:01:56,398
and l generally hated
myself most of the time.
912
02:01:56,520 --> 02:01:58,636
l kept thinking about a lot of stuff,
913
02:01:58,760 --> 02:02:00,637
and on top of that
was the band thing.
914
02:02:00,760 --> 02:02:02,591
lt felt like the walls
were closing in.
915
02:02:02,760 --> 02:02:05,194
We knew we had to go
to the studio in December -
916
02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:09,831
to record a demo, and l
should have been writing new songs.
917
02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:14,836
You can hear the mood
on some of the songs...
918
02:02:43,240 --> 02:02:48,189
l put an end to Nightwish
in Autumn 2001 .
919
02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:59,195
lt was mainly the self-hate again,
some 24. year crisis.
920
02:02:59,880 --> 02:03:03,111
l started thinking what l've done,
what still needs to be done -
921
02:03:03,440 --> 02:03:07,194
what kind of a person l am,
l was not satisfied with anything.
922
02:03:08,440 --> 02:03:11,398
On top of that, my personal
relationships were a mess.
923
02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:16,594
And also, Nightwish, which still
is the most important thing for me -
924
02:03:17,440 --> 02:03:21,399
was going through its most
difficult crisis at the time.
925
02:03:23,520 --> 02:03:29,914
lt all sort of piled up...
in the Summer and Fall of 2001 .
926
02:03:32,640 --> 02:03:37,191
After our last gig in Nivala
l personally called it quits.
927
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:41,190
The next day l called
Spinefarm and Drakkar -
928
02:03:41,440 --> 02:03:44,716
and said ''End of story, Nightwish
is through, l won't do it no more.''
929
02:03:45,520 --> 02:03:49,115
lf all goes well, we might do
an album, but we'll never go onstage.
930
02:03:49,960 --> 02:03:54,476
l told the others, it got
really tense, we quarrelled alot -
931
02:03:55,520 --> 02:03:59,479
and l knew then that this
just couldn't work anymore.
932
02:04:05,440 --> 02:04:08,591
l went straight to Kemi to
visit Sonata Arctica's Tony -
933
02:04:08,960 --> 02:04:12,191
and for a week we went
hiking in the woods of Lapland.
934
02:04:12,520 --> 02:04:16,399
l felt really damn good,
l'd gotten it all off my chest.
935
02:04:17,160 --> 02:04:20,596
l didn't have this burden
called Nightwish anymore -
936
02:04:20,880 --> 02:04:24,190
l could start a new life.
937
02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:27,716
We talked about it with Tony
and l felt really great.
938
02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:32,717
l'd told the label people
that l couldn't take it anymore...
939
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:38,108
And this was the beginning
of a new life.
940
02:04:38,440 --> 02:04:41,398
lt was a bit scary that l didn't
feel poignant, l felt just great.
941
02:04:42,240 --> 02:04:45,198
But now, after a year,
l realize l would have -
942
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:49,599
made the biggest mistake
in my life if l had quit then.
943
02:04:50,760 --> 02:04:53,718
As l let time go by and
steered clear of the other guys -
944
02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:57,197
l regained faith in myself,
realized the beauty of this thing.
945
02:04:57,440 --> 02:05:01,592
And where we'd gotten in 4 years,
it didn't deserve to end like this.
946
02:05:02,240 --> 02:05:06,950
All problems could be solved.
947
02:05:07,640 --> 02:05:10,598
The first thing on my mind was
that if Nightwish were to go on -
948
02:05:11,240 --> 02:05:14,596
me and Sami just couldn't
work in the same band.
949
02:05:16,320 --> 02:05:21,075
lt was a fact, and the other fact
was that l couldn't tell it to him.
950
02:05:24,440 --> 02:05:28,911
Don't know if l'm too gentle
or too cowardly, but l couldn't do it.
951
02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:33,000
He'd been my friend for 10 years,
and l couldn't tell him that -
952
02:05:33,160 --> 02:05:35,913
l just can't continue in the same
band with him, he'd have to leave.
953
02:05:36,240 --> 02:05:39,710
l'd rather quit the whole band
than go and tell it to his face.
954
02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:45,992
That's one of the things
l regret the most in my life.
955
02:05:46,440 --> 02:05:51,639
That l couldn't tell it to him myself...
l'll regret it all my life.
956
02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:56,392
lt was a lousy thing.
As a friend and a bandmate -
957
02:05:56,520 --> 02:06:00,479
l really should have
told him personally.
958
02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:03,916
lt would have been fair
to say the least.
959
02:06:05,360 --> 02:06:09,990
lt was a bad mistake, but what
can you do about it anymore?
960
02:06:10,440 --> 02:06:15,389
Ewo called and told Sami.
He came to see me right after.
961
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:23,596
We talked about the way
things are for about an hour.
962
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:29,439
Sami said ''OK'' and left.
We haven't talked since.
963
02:07:08,080 --> 02:07:11,038
A terribly lousy self esteem,
that's the tragedy of my life...
964
02:07:11,440 --> 02:07:14,193
or at least the main reason
for the tragedies in my life.
965
02:07:14,440 --> 02:07:17,193
l'm not able to really
appreciate anything l do -
966
02:07:17,440 --> 02:07:20,477
but Nightwish is the kind of
a thing, that every once in a while -
967
02:07:20,640 --> 02:07:23,473
l get a glimpse that l'm really
doing something worthwhile...
968
02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:26,837
And the things l've envisioned...
969
02:07:27,080 --> 02:07:31,073
They've done a lot of good
things for the people around me.
970
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:34,034
And add to that there
are fans who tell you -
971
02:07:34,440 --> 02:07:37,079
that your music is the only thing
that keeps them alive -
972
02:07:37,360 --> 02:07:40,477
saved them from suicide and so on...
973
02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:45,316
That's when l feel l've managed
to do something good.
974
02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:58,878
l've noticed that l've lost
most that remained of my innocence.
975
02:07:59,440 --> 02:08:02,398
ln two things l've managed
to keep it intact.
976
02:08:02,520 --> 02:08:06,593
l've always been loyal,
and l've been true to the music.
977
02:08:07,080 --> 02:08:10,038
These two things l won't compromise.
978
02:08:10,520 --> 02:08:14,479
lf l didn't have them,
life would be even more strenuous.
979
02:08:14,760 --> 02:08:18,992
Music in itself is such
of a beautiful thing.
980
02:08:26,440 --> 02:08:29,398
The spirit in the band
is currently simply marvellous, -
981
02:08:29,520 --> 02:08:33,479
better than ever, and not
just because of Marco.
982
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:38,911
l think the whole band
has now reached the level -
983
02:08:39,240 --> 02:08:42,198
where we don't have to prove
anything to anyone anymore.
984
02:08:42,440 --> 02:08:46,911
We'll just make good music,
be a good band.
985
02:08:47,440 --> 02:08:51,911
Check out the color scale...
- Very good scale!
986
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:41,197
Vodkotin! - Vodkotin...
987
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:44,718
- Vodkotinta!
988
02:12:48,280 --> 02:12:51,317
Tarja too, grab a vodkotin!
989
02:12:58,560 --> 02:13:02,997
Shitty band, shitty equipment,
-No commercial potential!
990
02:13:05,680 --> 02:13:09,798
- lf l could get back my childhood...
- And those pants!
991
02:13:54,880 --> 02:13:56,518
This is the end of this ralli!
992
02:13:56,640 --> 02:13:58,915
Tarja will get shitfaced before
the gig! - lt will be on the DVD!
993
02:13:59,040 --> 02:14:02,032
We'll end our documentary right here!
994
02:14:03,240 --> 02:14:05,629
While waiting for my inheritance...
995
02:14:06,040 --> 02:14:07,917
Not even the X-mas spirit
could survive in this weather!
996
02:14:08,080 --> 02:14:09,718
Don't put that on the DVD!
997
02:14:09,880 --> 02:14:11,632
We're out of film!
