00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,680
The memoirs of Tuomas pt. XXV
- ''l'll never forget those pants!''
4
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,831
What makes Tuomas tick?
What makes him write such songs?
5
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:32,078
What makes him write such lyrics?
6
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,109
Well...what could it be? Who knows.
7
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:40,357
l bet even Tuomas doesn't know.
8
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,238
lt's a small island? -Yup.
-Damn it's nice!
9
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,638
No wonder this place is
sacred to your family...
10
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,393
A true Finnish dream...
11
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,355
What could be better than
an island of your own?
12
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,398
My musical career began at
the age of seven -
13
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,636
when mom sent me for piano classes...
14
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,668
Going to an island with
the first snow falling - great!
15
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,794
ln the music school l majored
in clarinet and minored in piano.
16
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,836
l know the basics of musical
theory, l can read notes -
17
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,390
and accompany with the piano.
18
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,309
There's a solar panel, you can
power up your mobile there.
19
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,718
Then l joined my first band,
a metal band comprising of -
20
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,999
local Kitee guys, Dismal Silence
l think it was called...
21
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,992
That was my first band and also
the first time l played keyboards.
22
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,075
lt was a new experience,
because l think that piano-
23
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,115
and keyboards are two completely
different instruments.
24
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,636
Listen, the whole forest whispers...
- What?
25
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,030
The forest whispers with the rain!
26
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,633
So you could say that l started
playing keyboards when l was 16.
27
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,915
l kicked the clarinet around
for a while...
28
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,677
l played it in the army band
for nine and a half months.
29
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,190
After that l haven't touched
the thing... not a honk in 6 years.
30
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,912
My first real band to score a record
deal was Darkwoods My Bethrothed.
31
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:29,110
ln 1996...or 5? 1995 it was.
32
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,959
This can't be for real...
33
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,708
l wasn't a proper member
in that band either, -
34
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,918
l was asked to play the synth
as a session musician.
35
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,508
l composed my first song
at that time, too -
36
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,196
The outro for ''Heirs of the Northstar''...
37
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,399
''A New Heaven a New Earth''
l think it was called.
38
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,718
At the same time, we also
started another project -
39
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,918
Nattvinden's Gr�t, brain-child
of Teemu Kautonen.
40
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,198
That's when we also met
Mr. Wilska for the first time.
41
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,398
Teemu had a bit of a trouble
with some of the vocals -
42
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,000
so the engineer Mr. Valtonen
suggested that we call in this guy.
43
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,516
l finally found me a friend...
my sonny boy!
44
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,836
Looks a lot like his father he does...
45
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,198
We eventually made two albums
with Nattvindens Gr�t.
46
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,398
So at the time l was in two bands -
47
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,638
but l always felt that l was
not allowed to write any songs, -
48
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,838
l was just a hired hand
playing the synth.
49
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,998
lt was OK in the beginning,
but l always had the urge -
50
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,189
to write my own songs,
that's the main thing for me.
51
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,918
There's some kind of a lever outside...
52
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,994
Then in the summer of 1996
- l was still in both bands -
53
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,598
we spent a night here on
the island, right over there.
54
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,198
We sat around the fire, went to sauna -
55
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,673
and l came up with the idea
of a project my own.
56
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,989
l didn't have the name ''Nightwish''
yet, but l had the concept.
57
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,199
Acoustic stuff, mood music,
not Heavy Metal at all...
58
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,718
The artist is starting
to get very pissed off!
59
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,276
Perkele!
60
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,708
Third and the Mortal, Theatre of
Tragedy and The Gathering -
61
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,838
those bands were a great
inspiration at the time.
62
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,953
l felt like trying something
in the same vein myself.
63
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,309
l went to the army in July 1996,
and during the first months -
64
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,193
l wrote three songs, ''Nightwish'',
''Forever moments'' and ''Eti�inen''.
65
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,278
ln December l booked a studio in Kitee -
66
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,908
and we made the three song demo then...
67
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,199
ls Wilska with you? We had
some trouble with the boat.
68
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,994
Call us when you get here and
l'll come and pick you up.
69
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,991
l can't remember exactly
when Emppu came along -
70
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,358
l didn't know the guy
so well at the time.
71
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,433
Jukka had known him for ages but
to me Emppu was a new acquaintance.
72
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,911
l was told it would take
ten pulls to start...
73
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,915
l also thought l'd ask Tarja Turunen
what she thought about the idea.
74
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,197
l'd known her since the age of 13,
we were in the same music class -
75
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,197
in junior high and played in
the same jazz band...
76
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,589
She was a distant friend of mine.
77
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,789
lt's Taape's birthday!
- Happy birthday, Tarja!
78
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,198
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you...
79
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,198
Did you congratulate Tarja
on her birthday, Kimi?
80
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,109
Well, happy birthday to you...
81
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,993
Lout!
82
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,919
Recording artist Paula...
- Paula?
83
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,198
This toilet paper strip comes
in handy when you have a pee -
84
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,108
You can wipe your tush with it!
85
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,194
Gen, Gen, Genghis Khan,
enslaver of nations! Hu! Ha!
86
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,235
Gee, this is a good kit!
87
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,591
''ASS lS THE HOME OF SHlT''
88
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,919
l can't remember if me and
Emppu called her first, -
89
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,550
or if we just went over and
told her that we had this thing...
90
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,196
lt only took five pulls...
91
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,710
Plus an additional five!
92
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,797
We walked to her place, it
was just before Christmas...
93
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,795
l explained what l had in mind
and asked what she thought about it.
94
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,834
She replied ''sure'',
she was on right away.
95
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,639
Everything works like a dream today!
96
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,838
lt was to be a project,
we'd just make demo tapes, -
97
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,998
maybe send them to record companies, -
98
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,392
but definitely no gigs
or anything that serious.
99
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,637
Tarja said ''absolutely''
and agreed to sing the songs -
100
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,999
it would probably take her
two days or so in the studio.
101
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,710
Before each gig we have to
get our lucky tattoos...
102
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,997
Evil Ewo made this neat skull,
and Marco, ever so friendly, -
103
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,073
wrote ''right'' here so l know
which hand to hit with.
104
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,597
l should make this tattoo permanent
and ask some expert what it means!
105
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,993
Paris! A close up of the Eiffel tower.
106
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,754
- We're at the top!
- ln Germany!
107
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,630
Where are my fuckin' cigarettes?
- Alles klar, wunderbar!
108
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,198
A lot of people say that one should
move from a hick town like Kitee -
109
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,193
and see a bit of the world.
110
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,115
l've lived there for every
single year of my life, -
111
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,399
and during the last few years l've
often thought of moving to Helsinki -
112
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,189
or some other place. But now that
l've toured the world with the band -
113
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:23,788
and by myself, l've learnt that
l'm not missing anything here.
114
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,596
l could live here in Kitee
for the rest of my life.
115
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,553
There's not a better place in the world.
116
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:35,275
Sao Paolo and Reperbahn,
both worth another visit!
117
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,270
lt's too hot in here...
118
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,233
We then recorded the basic
tracks with Emppu -
119
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,398
at the legendary Kiteen
Huvikeskus Studio.
120
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:53,595
We also met Tero then, l didn't
know him either before.
121
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:58,518
A roadie at work...
- lt's a shitty job!
122
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,113
l feel a bit shy!
123
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,596
Tero, what was it like in Russia?
- A bit on the shitty side...
124
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,838
A pissed-up trip, literally...
-No, it was OK. Cool.
125
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,196
Surprisingly l can once again
see your underpants.
126
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,237
What's this then? You broke a stick?
-No, l didn't break a single one.
127
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,996
- Don't you try that on me..
128
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,676
Tero's being scrupulous with the cords...
129
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,913
- Situation normal, all fucked up...
130
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,035
Wrong hole... phase out conflict again.
131
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,790
Lucky bastard!
132
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,631
(Ewo-talk, unintelligible!)
133
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,076
Toni, production, Paris!
134
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,195
Yes.
135
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,594
Actually l have a few here,
l can write one for her...
136
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,198
Say something to the people
of Finland! - What?
137
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,638
Wrong hole. - No way!
-lt's phase out conflict again!
138
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,196
Some mascara... This is
what l do for living.
139
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,198
This is the second night Ulsch got
no beer and he's pretty pissed off...
140
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,438
-The fridge is full,
grab as many as you like!
141
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,593
Just a few, 'cos otherwise it would
be third night in a row...
142
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,755
Do you have a wisdom for the
people of Finland this time?
143
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,195
What?!
144
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,198
Tommi and the piggie...
- Tommi, any spanking tonight?
145
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,270
The piggie squeals!
146
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,190
What's the little guy's name?
- Kurko.
147
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,590
We knew Tero vaguely, he had
recorded some of our old demos.
148
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:25,035
So we went there to do
the recording.
149
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,589
Welcome to the legendary
Caverock studio!
150
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,998
Zoom there...
151
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,398
The studio where we've
recorded all our four albums, -
152
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,911
the first we even mixed here.
Looks like a sauna or a doghouse...
153
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,149
So should we listen to it again?
- ...but you can get a good sound here.
154
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,150
Get a load of this... ''- The peak
of Tero's engineering career...''
155
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,719
Greetings, good folks.
156
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,192
Now it's just the cabin...
157
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,996
Line-in is 5 dB less.
158
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,191
Shit, it's...well, we'll get it right.
159
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,719
So, how are you doin'?
- Tuning is what l'm doing...
160
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,918
A beer wouldn't hurt,
you know.
161
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,637
Let's play this fast
so we can go to the bar!
162
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,918
Go away, moron!
163
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,196
Oops!
164
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,196
Go...
165
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,719
My apologies!
166
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,195
Perkele.
167
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,829
One bum note!
168
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,109
Just a moment please.
169
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,195
Dammit!
170
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,830
l wish the battery would
run out already...
171
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,519
Tarja came and we went through
the songs, checked the melodies...
172
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,791
lt was a shock when she started
singing for the first time.
173
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:19,393
We had expected a tender young
girl's voice, like Kari Ruesl�tten -
174
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,512
but even at that stage she had
a powerful, dramatic classical voice.
175
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,998
lt was a total surprise.
176
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,391
People often think that...
that there was a conscious plan -
177
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,518
of how Nightwish would sound,
178
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,800
mix a little metal, atmospheric stuff,
and put some operatic vocals on top.
179
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,198
But it was just a lucky coincidence.
180
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,438
So this is broke too?
A fine day it is... bad karma!
181
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,198
We were just experimenting
with those three songs, -
182
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,398
acoustic guitar, flute, synth,
Tarja's vocals and nothing else.
183
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,189
That's what Nightwish was
inititially to be all about.
184
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,198
Only Sumi the Finn
can know about it all...
185
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,911
Sumi's in Germany...
- Um. l guess he is then.
186
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,916
Vittu!
187
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,399
Sumi's in Germany.
- Yeah, again!
188
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,113
We sent the demo to Century Media,
Massacre, and maybe Spinefarm...
189
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,199
Yeah, Spinefarm too. 3 or 4 places,
and we didn't receive a single reply.
190
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,238
We also sent it to Soundi magazine's
demo review, we have it here...
191
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,990
ls it just the legendary
one where it said...
192
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,835
''No commercial potential!''
193
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,198
''ls this really relevant in
its atmospheric ambitions?''
194
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,433
The first ever newspaper
article on Nightwish.
195
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,313
Note the pitch: ''Finland's
Gatherinki has been found!''
196
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,908
The day after l got out of
the army we went into the studio.
197
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,116
We did a seven song demo -
198
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,834
which later became the limited
edition of Angels Fall First.
199
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,998
- So that was the first demo
with the whole band? - Yes.
200
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,196
And then you went on tour
with Nattvinden's Gr�t?
201
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,396
- With Wish and Babylon Whores.
202
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,114
And when you came back we
heard that we have a record deal.
203
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,278
- Have you gotten any, boys?!
204
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,838
There's this funny story...
When we embarked on the tour -
205
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,999
Ewo had with him a boxful
of demos sent to Spinefarm.
206
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,791
Something like 600 demo tapes which
we listened in the bus for 2 weeks.
207
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,398
We'd insert the tape, gave it 20
seconds, and if it failed to impress -
208
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,754
We'd throw it right out of the window.
209
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...''
210
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...''
211
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,911
He finally managed to open his
mouth, ''Uh, we made this demo...''
212
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,119
We were listening to Carpenter,
Ewo sat smoking and drinking Lonkero
213
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,950
And in true Ewo fashion he pondered
''Mm.. let's give it another spin...''
214
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,437
''Mm.. maybe we can
work something out...''
215
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,633
Tell it now to the good
people of Finland!
216
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,989
We had a gig in Bischofswerda,
Ewo still had some 200 tapes left.
217
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,798
That's when he lost his nerve:
218
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,634
''l've had it with this
shit!'' and he hurled the box -
219
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,838
right on down a hill smack
in the middle of a highway -
220
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,918
and just like in American movies
the demo box crashes down, -
221
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,597
and instantly a huge truck comes
- wroom - and levels the contents!
222
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,997
So l wonder if there's still
time to impregnate a mare?
223
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,595
l still have some credit left..
224
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,393
Hot stuff!
225
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,199
Check out the goons
- the goons have a couple of bags.
226
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:41,599
Kes�pottu.
227
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,956
Which department?
- Department of poo!
228
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,913
''We were out last night with the
boys, l drank a half of Koskenkorva -
229
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,629
and Jussa drank the other half
and Terssi too drank a half, -
230
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,269
and we were all, like, so drunk!''
231
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,516
''And we didn't a sleep wink that
night and in the morning -
232
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,196
when we woke up we had
a terrible hangover!''
233
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,919
So it goes. Seems like Tero
won't be here tonight.
234
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,030
The album came out in November 1997.
235
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,999
At that point we also
found our ambitions, -
236
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,199
something that came
characteristic of us -
237
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,911
A healthy, na��ve will to prove
ourselves, to really go over the top.
238
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,189
That's when the acoustic stuff
gave way to a more bombastic style.
239
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,189
Not only an average keyboardist
but also a tolerable mechanic!
240
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,189
''The scent of a woman was not mine''
241
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:03,190
lt's simply not possible to begin
a song with a line like that! Fuck!
242
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,352
This song's a knife in his back...
243
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,516
lt's not possible l wrote that!
244
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,992
What were you thinking at the moment?
- l really don't know!
245
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,030
l stand behind all of my lyrics
except that one - it simply doesn't work!
246
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,597
Well, the lyrics to Elvenpath
are quite hilarious too...
247
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,997
''Trivial boasting...no high hopes...
a rural band...from Kitee..''
248
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,798
There were a few reasons
why we went more ''metal''...
249
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,999
We all liked heavy metal...
250
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,994
Jukka, Emppu and me all have a metal
background, that's where we come from.
251
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,598
And it might have been boring to
do just acoustic stuff after a while.
252
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:14,630
Tarja's voice was also too dramatic,
too bombastic for that atmosphere.
253
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,314
So we figured we'd make the
music more bombastic, too.
254
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,392
We first visited Spinefarm
after we had signed the deal.
255
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,638
We were pretty quiet boys
when we walked in!
256
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,351
''Here's Ewo'' -''Hi!''
- ''Go sit over there somewhere!''
257
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:53,000
Now there's a tour poster!
Mega-bueno-iglesias-poster!
258
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,997
l saw a huge Children of Bodom
Something Wild -poster on the door -
259
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,438
and l wondered when we
could have such cool posters, too!
260
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,269
This is the Potaskavaara Gym...
261
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,398
After the album came out
in the end of October 1997 -
262
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,559
we still had doubts if
this is ever going to work live.
263
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,994
That year l moved to Kuopio
to study environmental sciences.
264
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,198
One of the greatest moments
in the history of Nightwish -
265
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,518
is when l listened to the
singles chart on the radio one Sunday-
266
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,718
and heard that Carpenter
had risen to number 15...
267
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,794
lt felt better than the later
platinum album for Century Child.
268
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,118
Cold shivers ran down my back
as l listened to the radio.
269
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,834
After that l went to walk
in the park for two hours -
270
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:52,995
and l wondered ''Oh my God
what have l gotten myself into''
271
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,200
But that was only the beginning.
272
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,990
lf people bought the album,
we thought we might try playing live -
273
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,199
maybe do a couple of gigs...
274
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,108
''Nightwish - a band from
the better side of Helsinki city limits.''
275
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,997
Didn't we organize the first
gig in Kitee ourselves?
276
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,198
Yeah, a New Year's disco,
a crowd of 400...
277
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,832
''People jubilant at a Disco concert''
278
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,630
''Everybody except drummer Jukka
stood frozen on stage -
279
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,668
like they were in
a high school auditorium.''
280
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,512
l bet it was like that...
- An exciting experience!
281
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,396
l had played there many
times with my former bands -
282
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,918
But this was the first time
we had an album out -
283
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,197
and people really came
to check us out.
284
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,198
- Scary...
- lt was frightening!
285
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,711
And then Lepakko,
Helsinki, January 9, 1998...
286
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,999
l've never had such stage fright
in my life, it was horrible!
287
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,716
l was about to faint,
l had a strange taste in my mouth...
288
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,710
lt was living hell!
289
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,192
Even 5 hours before the gig,
l've never seen you so messed up!
290
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:06,198
The gig was not that special,
everybody was stiff as a corpse...
291
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,797
l remember the feeling when
Angels Fall First charted, -
292
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,839
We did some gigs and people
showed up, that's when it hit me:
293
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,198
There's something going on!
294
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:23,269
We got a huge surge of energy,
and we really went for it, like -
295
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,633
let's practice like crazy and
go all the way, write huge songs...
296
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,718
The result was Oceanborn.
297
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,998
''Tuomas Holopainen reveals
that the sound will be huge!''
298
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,669
l'm a bit edgy today...
- Have some booze! A tall one!
299
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,629
Check out Sheik Ali Hassan...
Osama summer look!
300
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,833
Marco is actually
a retired pirate captain...
301
00:34:11,240 --> 00:34:15,392
Here we have a female singer,
also a notorious lush...
302
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,279
Then we suddenly thought of
Sami who had played in Nattvindens Gr�t.
303
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,275
Like, why look farther than that...
304
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:49,198
Then Sami joined and...
it was OK. lt clicked.
305
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,791
A nice little promo picture from 1998...
306
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:00,198
Guess which three band members
just got out of the army?
307
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,519
l had the idea to have a contrast
for Tarja's voice on two songs.
308
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:10,193
l'd learned from my mistakes and
knew not to open my own mouth again.
309
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:16,198
For a couple of songs
l wanted a more masculine feel -
310
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,991
and l had liked Wilska's voice
in Nattvinden's Gr�t, the sound of it...
311
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:26,109
His pronunciation, the way
he growls and improvises...
312
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:39,280
l remember when Tuomas called
and said he wanted ''a contrast lout''
313
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,318
lt was probably the fastest
studio session in my whole life.
314
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,639
''Come to the studio
on Tuesday at 6... ''-
315
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,998
''Here are the lyrics, there's
the booth, there's the mike'' -
316
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:56,190
ln three minutes Tuomas explained
that the song should go - ''like this''!
317
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,199
l think Devil took two takes...-
318
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,798
and with Pharaoh we wasted even three.
319
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,998
So l was in the Kitee studio
for a total of 52 minutes.
320
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,992
''OK, that's it - thank you!''
And then back to Savonlinna.
321
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:22,190
And a while later l noticed
''Oops the album's hit the charts!''
322
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,278
The following gigs had
some particular issues of course...
323
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:10,391
''For black l am
and known throughout the world''
324
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:20,715
''One lord and king
from the land of Prester John!''
325
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:32,195
''One lord and king
from the land of Prester John!''
326
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,993
...so maybe we'll
tell it some other time.
327
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,918
Would be cool... - What?
-A boat ride!
328
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:02,915
l have absolutely no recollection...
329
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,198
l've had it, just don't drown please!
330
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,274
Oh yeah, now l remember...
331
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,518
You can leave your shoes ashore.
-No you can't! -Yes you can!
332
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,718
Don't rock the boat!
333
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:32,708
l'll tell you it will
suck up water any time now -
334
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,918
...and that serves you just right!
335
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:42,198
Get out of the water now,
the firemen are on their way!
336
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:46,710
This is not safe,
these guys are up to no good!
337
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:05,113
l haven't even started drinking yet.
-That's nice.
338
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:18,198
Ouch!
339
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,197
So are you like, drunk yet?
Confess now!
340
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:51,389
This won't be on the DVD...
341
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,716
Yeah, l've masturbated twice.
342
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,191
These guys are going to get arrested...
343
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:25,195
The studio session for Oceanborn
was living hell...it was horrible.
344
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,196
lt was fun recording Angels and
Wishmaster, but Oceanborn and -
345
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,835
Century Child were extremely
difficult in the making.
346
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,996
When you listen to it, Oceanborn
is maybe the most technical one.
347
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:41,198
Yes, the most difficult
songs we ever wrote...
348
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,989
Especially hard, too, cos we were
sloppier musicians at the time.
349
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:48,277
We were definitely pushing our
limits on that one.
350
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,999
Tempos got faster, hooks
multiplied, versatility tripled...
351
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,270
We worked long and hard on that one.
352
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,398
lt was completely recorded in
Kitee, except for the mix.
353
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,718
lt was the first album that was
really rehearsed, and in a sense -
354
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,590
l consider it our first album,
as Angels was sort of a demo.
355
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,396
''DON'T TOUCH A THlNG''
356
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,194
At that point Stratovarius was
a huge influence for everybody -
357
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,398
- and you can hear that
on the album, too.
358
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:28,196
''Success knocked Nightwish out''
359
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,718
lt was definitely the biggest
influence on Oceanborn...
360
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,717
The whole A-part you say?
- Yeah, play the whole part...
361
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:39,198
Originally Ewo suggested Tolkki
as the mixer, and l was ''right on!''
362
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,719
Tolkki was a god at the time...
Can't remember how it happened -
363
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:49,189
But in the end Karmila did it,
and of course we were very pleased.
364
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,594
lt was sort of a culture shock
to go to Finnvox and meet Karmila -
365
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,396
We'd heard stories, and he was
sort of a god, too, especially for Tero...
366
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,718
and once again we were
very quiet boys!
367
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,995
But we got on great - once we had
gotten used to his sense of humor.
368
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,838
We decided that this is the guy
who we want in the future, too.
369
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,271
This one? Yeah, but this
is just the part...
370
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,269
Very good...
371
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,518
''A shitty sound''? No way,
it rocks man! lt's heavy.
372
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:27,596
lt's hard'n'heavy,
the sound of Paiste wailing.
373
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:31,198
OK...let's crawl through
the first part then.
374
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:02,196
lt was pretty cool...
375
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:23,196
Screwed up!
376
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,278
We are a democratic band,
we talk about stuff -
377
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,989
and we�ve never had
many musical quarrels.
378
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,718
Usually we sort it out,
but ''Moondance'' was an exception -
379
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:44,234
Emppu said that he definitely
doesn't want the song included.
380
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,196
lt's the only occasion in our
history...but l think it fits in.
381
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,996
Yeah, it's part of the album...
382
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:53,196
Country girl look...
383
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,196
l've never understood the
maple-leaves-in-the hair-thing!
384
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:03,596
''The hardest metal of the
year comes from Kitee...''
385
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:11,198
lt was a completely different
kind of session...
386
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,518
The drums were recorded in a locker
room of the Kitee sports hall!
387
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,590
lt was quite claustrophobic
to play in a 3x3 m locker room -
388
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,838
All alone, doors closed...
389
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,398
The other guys were downstairs
some 200 meters away -
390
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,196
and we communicated through
a crackling headphones system -
391
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,560
Should we listen to it?
- The session was totally amateurish...
392
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,996
lt was a learning process,
a pain in the ass -
393
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:49,198
but well worth the trouble in the end.
394
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:57,995
A lot of people still think that
it's our best album, The NW album.
395
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:05,353
''Nightwish is now priority number
one for Tuomas Holopainen''
396
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,513
That summer we also started
gigging heavily...
397
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,718
- A very nice summer.
- Yes, sure was, nice crowds -
398
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,394
And we found out that this
thing really does work.
399
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,831
Just warming up my fingers!
400
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:15,198
When did we do ''Sleeping Sun''
for Germany...?
401
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,518
We started getting a lot of
foreign attention then...
402
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,718
lt was in the Fall the same year.
403
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:33,196
l was originally against
the whole idea -
404
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,908
l was told that the song
must be four minutes tops -
405
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,197
a hit formula, a big chorus,
must be a ballad...
406
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,191
''Nightwish, Oceanborn
- Masterpiece of Finnish Heavy Metal''!
407
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,718
''Show us your titties!''
408
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,114
Well, we had done a video for
''Sacrament of Wilderness''...
409
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,994
Let's not talk about that.
- We better not!
410
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,196
The legendary pigtail video...
411
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:36,192
We started getting a lot of foreign
attention, especially from Germany.
412
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:41,550
Through Drakkar we got the chance
to tour Europe supporting Rage -
413
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,118
Rage are on Drakkar, right?
-Yup, they were.
414
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,270
lt was a mind-boggling experience...
415
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,912
lt was a good school, it made us
musically a lot tighter as a band -
416
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:07,279
and it added to our own vision of
the band, it did so much...
417
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,836
lt definitely gave us a lot of
confidence as a band at the time.
418
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,628
At the time we were asking
ourselves who we really are...
419
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,394
A bunch of clowns and some diva
that escaped from the opera?
420
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,194
And they're playing heavy metal...
what is this thing all about?
421
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,994
We were definitely searching for
our identity as a band then.
422
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,398
Like, why does some guy in
Austria come and watch us -
423
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,832
and see us bang away our greasy,
Carelian heavy metal?
424
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,718
l was totally upset when l
heard that Sinergy would support us -
425
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,191
on the European tour for Wishmaster...
426
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,518
Like, you have a support
band that features -
427
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,838
Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala
on guitars? They support us?!
428
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:13,198
And Marco Hietala on bass...
- Yeah, even that...
429
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,519
''3 hands and 6 penises,
call me a mutant''!
430
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:21,196
So...whew!
431
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:38,198
Okay, calm down guys...
432
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:44,196
Here's a wisdom, ye pole
standeth one kilometer away!
433
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,193
Remember whence thou come
from, and whose sons ye be!
434
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,192
Are you from p�ksylandia?
435
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,398
There's the same girl again
- See the Ch�r�n guys?
436
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,836
For fuck's sake... Miss Orange Bosom!
437
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,198
lt's one of these situations
where you really should -
438
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,398
have been there to make
any sense of it...
439
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:17,268
Come over here!
- Oh, Jasmine!
440
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,669
Eero did these..
- Not bad, looks very natural!
441
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,190
Got a light? Gimme light!
442
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,113
Uh, yeah, but where did
l put my cigarettes?
443
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,632
ls this Ewo, the Ewo person?
444
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:53,995
- Can l have this pillow please?
445
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,637
Marco? - Yup?
- A word to the wise, please?
446
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:57,198
l remember the feeling
when Oceanborn was in the can.
447
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,518
l had the feeling l'll never
be able to write another song.
448
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,880
l felt l'd given everything l got,
all my creative energy was drained.
449
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,998
With Wishmaster l had felt
like doing another one right away -
450
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:13,550
l had lot of ideas, and l wanted
to make everything much better.
451
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:18,715
But after Oceanborn l was
depleted, all empty inside.
452
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:27,391
lt's audible on Angels and
Oceanborn, only on those two albums -
453
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,639
you can hear the genuine
enthusiasm, the lost innocence -
454
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,918
that no longer can be heard
on Wishmaster or Century Child.
455
00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:40,473
Two years old, on a meadow near my
home, when l was still innocent and blond!
456
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,718
Now it's completely different...
- lt really is.
457
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,795
After the success of Oceanborn,
we've just lost it, l've got to admit.
458
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:01,197
Do you think you can achieve it
again? - l don't think so. No.
459
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,229
But you're still searching for it?
- Of course.
460
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,198
Ouch, that looks bad...
l wonder where that came from...
461
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,716
Just sweat it out there, pal!
462
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:11,198
...but on the Bless the Child
tour l totally enjoyed myself again...
463
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,919
l mean, what's it called?
Bless the Child? Century Child?
464
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,637
What the fuck is the album called?
- Kantturakidi
465
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,999
No, what is it? Century Child?
466
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:30,158
''The big-handed girl in
the waterfall'' album!
467
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,198
Ow.
468
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,198
We're skyrocketing, pal...
469
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,989
Marco, remember to smile
in that direction.
470
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,629
Now we're rolling...
471
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,916
Holy fuck...
472
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,913
The morons are being catapulted
into the sky!
473
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,716
Damn, this is a rush!
474
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,518
Waiting for it!
475
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,278
Here we go again!
476
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,396
The cable tightens...
477
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:29,199
The lights are flashing...
This rocks big time!
478
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,918
Any second now...
479
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,196
This is insane!
480
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,638
We're really high now...
481
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,198
And now we'll take the plunge!
482
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,838
Your last words?
- Goodbye!
483
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,596
Wishmaster and Century Child
didn't have that feeling.
484
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:16,193
For me, as a songwriter,
they were not easy ones to write.
485
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,196
They lacked the certain innocence.
486
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,997
Especially on the latest
one it was extremely hard work.
487
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,199
l was thinking everything
in the context of the whole album.
488
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,198
Horrible shit!
489
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:58,195
My grandmom used to rub noses
so that only one eye remained!
490
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,398
Hi, it's me again...
491
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,638
The other reason for going
to Kuopio was that l had to -
492
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,317
get some milk for the kids...
493
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:11,199
Guys, with freedom
comes responsibility...
494
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,718
Tuned in ''B''!
495
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,994
But you can never get back
the feeling on the first two albums.
496
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,789
That's for sure.
497
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:45,596
Night Owl ready for action!
498
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,996
The toast is missing...
499
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,392
The Night Owl is a notorious
broadcast that commences -
500
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:56,992
when the last bottle of Vodka
or the last beer has been opened.
501
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:58,719
This is just the thing again!
502
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,998
Usually there's only two
people awake, the rest are asleep -
503
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,994
and want their calm, that's when
the Night Owl broadcast begins.
504
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,199
Nightstalker starts the camcorder,
usually in Nightvision mode -
505
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,000
and then it's
''This is just the thing again!''
506
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,196
This is just the thing again!
507
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,193
Here we go again...!
508
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,592
lt was like this - we screwed it!
509
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:36,553
We tried shooting his ass but
our Tuomas is such of a chaste boy.
510
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:41,199
The best Night Owl show was on
the bus trip back from St. Petersburg...
511
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,518
Everybody had passed out,
and we went around -
512
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,114
painting people's lips
red with a felt tip pen...
513
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,708
This is the Night Owl
- this is is just the thing again!
514
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,916
This is the thing in its
most pure and noble form!
515
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,600
And here we go.
516
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,198
Emppu ...in the spotlight.
517
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,198
Fuck, l really can't figure
out this money at all!
518
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:52,919
Have you seen the pipari cookies?
519
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,193
Century Child cookie.
- Hot damn.
520
01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:00,513
We also have a...
Marco pipari!
521
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,393
Tarja pipari...
522
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,196
Jukka cookie...
- Keppi cookie!
523
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:10,194
Emppu pipari...
- The pipari of all piparis!
524
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,198
Turvajussi...security guy!
525
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:23,558
What about Tommi's relation
to oriental martial arts?
526
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,918
Go for it!
527
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:44,598
We've never had much success
in Japan, we've never played there.
528
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,509
But we went to Korea - was it
because of ''Walking in the Air''?
529
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:55,996
Yeah, it was sort of a local radio hit.
- So we went there after Wishmaster.
530
01:06:56,240 --> 01:07:02,998
There was a 50.000 people festival,
a free concert organized by the state.
531
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,708
The arrangements were
absolutely top notch.
532
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,634
At the airport we wondered
about all these suit-and-tie guys -
533
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,189
like is there a presidential
visit or something...
534
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,637
But why are they surrounding us?
They were our bodyguards!
535
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,599
We got into our minibus that
would drive us to our hotel -
536
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,638
And suddenly these cars with
flashing lights accompanied us.
537
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,194
The bodyguards sat there
behind darkened windows -
538
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,629
they cut in in front of
other cars to make way for us, -
539
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:27,990
one car ahead and the other
behind, wedging through traffic.
540
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:32,392
And the hotel was
a five-star paradise, too.
541
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,838
When it was time for the gig,
we were supposed to play a full set -
542
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,998
as headliners for 50.000 people,
but we had no sound check...
543
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:43,392
Two minutes before the gig we
were told that it will also be live on TV
544
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:49,000
Then the schedule went awry,
and we started wondering...
545
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,716
We were something like
2 hours behind the schedule.
546
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:57,192
And after 3 songs the local police
came and said that we must stop.
547
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:02,434
The concert permit was about to expire,
we'd still have time for one more song.
548
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,198
There's a girl behind you, film her!
549
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,994
Luckily we understood
we'd better start drinking.
550
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:23,995
The chief body guard was
an army instructor or something.
551
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:30,190
And our lighting guy, a jiujitsu
expert and an all-around superman -
552
01:11:30,440 --> 01:11:32,510
He just had to try...
553
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,839
He started wrestling the guard
just a little at first, just for fun.
554
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,278
Then when Tommi twisted as hard as
he could, the guard calmly pressed -
555
01:11:40,440 --> 01:11:43,398
a spot behind Tommi's ear,
and Tommi fell right flat on his back -
556
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,638
He totally lost his hearing,
and got knocked out!
557
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,838
The guard started massaging
the spot behind his ear again -
558
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,998
his ears started ringing, and
he could slowly rise up again.
559
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:14,198
Not a good try!
560
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:58,279
Gen! Gen! Genghis Khan!
Enslaver of nations!
561
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:02,719
Happy birthday to you...
562
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,350
l'm the only one sober,
the rest are on the juice.
563
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,198
OK, it is Tommi's bachelor party.
564
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,395
Tommi's bachelor party in
Brasilia, Brazil...
565
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,633
Just water, only water.
566
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:50,189
Kes�! Pottu! Kes�! Pottu!
567
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:48,592
Talking about the security...
- Jukka's little dive in Moscow...
568
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,835
The first time we were in Russia
the local record label guy warned us -
569
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,918
that the crowd is really wild,
the fans are really enthusiastic.
570
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,998
Especially the front row
- it can even be a little dangerous -
571
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,994
so be careful, don't go too
near the front of the stage.
572
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:07,199
Of course we had to go and
shake their hands after the gig.
573
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,350
We had a small accident, but
Doctor Rock is already on it!
574
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,718
Doctor V�nsk� tends to the wounded.
575
01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,118
There's a super disco on that boat...
576
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:03,317
The story of Nightwish ends
here, l think, probably.
577
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,838
We come from Russia.
- Welcome home then.
578
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,918
Yeah, home sweet home... Now
we'll have peaceful stay in Kitee...
579
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,999
-Maybe we could go to sauna
and have a few beers...
580
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,196
We have a few cans with us!
581
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,276
ln case somebody gets thirsty!
582
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:28,595
How long have you had
this rehearsal place?
583
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,280
A few years...
584
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:38,511
lf l have to choose whether
l'll pay the rent or buy a guitar...
585
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,394
l will buy the guitar.
586
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,198
-This is starting to look bad...
587
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,594
This is my last month's rent.
- Please don't!
588
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,918
Tero?
589
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:07,639
l'll live.
590
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:22,391
Why did you lose your
innocence then?
591
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:25,990
Maybe it was the success...
- Success surely did it.
592
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:30,392
Everybody says that it
doesn't do a thing, but it does.
593
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,997
lt affects you unconsciously,
it will change everybody, always.
594
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:39,199
Everything was totally different
when we started recording Wishmaster.
595
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,638
lt was the most fun l've ever had
in the studio, at least for me -
596
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,036
l was present during
the whole production.
597
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:59,313
For me it was the easiest
of our albums.
598
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,996
Wishmaster is sort of
an intermediary album.
599
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,118
There's nothing new in there
that wasn't already on Oceanborn.
600
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,278
The production's a bit better,
the songs are equally good -
601
01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:13,194
Everything's just a bit bigger.
With Century Child we started afresh.
602
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:27,791
lt's snowing...
even the sky weeps for us!
603
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,918
How many times l've told you
not to mess with the cords!
604
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,589
Just play those damn drums!
- Got no sticks now, pal!
605
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,198
This comic book is really exciting...
606
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,518
Tarja makes up...
607
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,912
l got you another cymbal!
608
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,196
Maybe there's too many?
609
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,195
Give me a break!
610
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:35,199
Here or there? ls this a better place?
611
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,949
A fork, a knife and a napkin too?
- Naturally!
612
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:25,076
My ''little angel!''
- More like a ''large angel''!
613
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,994
Hey wait, that was a good one!
614
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,196
How are you supposed
to keep a straight face?!
615
01:23:18,440 --> 01:23:21,079
l am supposed to bring
souvenirs to mommy bear...
616
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,596
lt's been a long journey
and... let me connect.
617
01:23:26,440 --> 01:23:28,192
Oops, this was the longer version.
618
01:23:28,440 --> 01:23:31,398
Kama Sutra of Kerava presents!
619
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,196
lt's yer ol' bulldozer of love!
620
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,193
Aw! The tape started too late!
621
01:25:30,440 --> 01:25:32,715
Now that's what l call
unnecessary footage...
622
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:36,193
l'm getting there!
623
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,995
Like two testicles they are!
624
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:55,398
Can you blow rings with it?!
625
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,596
So l understand nobody
else wants a puff?
626
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,198
l wonder if this is
relevant at all? - Maybe...
627
01:26:06,440 --> 01:26:10,399
Pants down! - Here's some
entertaintment for you guys...
628
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,989
Do you think we'd get our
asses kicked if we did that?
629
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,198
Naah... - Let's do it.
630
01:26:34,440 --> 01:26:38,194
lt's a deal? - lt's a deal.
631
01:27:08,440 --> 01:27:11,193
lt's one of those things...
never mind the bollocks.
632
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:34,990
Stupid story...
-Maybe we'll continue the official line.
633
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,435
Stupid story...
-Maybe we'll continue the official line.
634
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,992
l wanted a young boy's
voice to recite a poem.
635
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:49,678
Of course it had to be
good English, a native speaker.
636
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:57,717
We got Neil Hardwick's son
Sam to recite the poem.
637
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:05,118
lt might be that Dead Boys Poem
is the best song we ever wrote.
638
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:20,995
We've been able to... l don't know.
639
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:26,117
lt is such of a personal song...
A sort of a...
640
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:30,639
The basic idea is that
if l were to die tomorrow -
641
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:35,591
lf l really died,
there'd be so much l wanted to say.
642
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,392
There are so many
people whom l should thank -
643
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,191
So many l should apologize
to but haven't apologized.
644
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,114
So many people who l should
tell to go fuck themselves -
645
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:49,834
but haven't had the guts to do so far.
646
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:56,149
l just had to write a song for them.
647
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,998
A Finnish man rarely voices
his thanks or apologies -
648
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:05,474
but with music it's easier,
at least for me.
649
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:09,998
My mother and father
are the best people in the world -
650
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:14,279
but l haven't been able to
tell them what they mean to me.
651
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,994
lf they listen to the song,
read the lyrics, maybe they'll find -
652
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:20,073
themselves there, too, and understand.
653
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,993
Same thing with some
of my best friends -
654
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,708
and the whole Nightwish thing,
that in the last five years -
655
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:28,918
has grown to be such of
a big part of my life, if not the biggest.
656
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,628
The band mates and everything
connected to it.
657
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,838
How important they are...
658
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,396
lt's hard for a Finnish man
to tell it to their face.
659
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,838
Or apologize to them...
You'd rather write a song about it.
660
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,998
And write the kind of
lyrics that Dead Boys Poem has.
661
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:48,391
Read it there, because l
can't say it to your face -
662
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:52,077
and maybe you'll understand.
663
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:56,916
Slaying the Dreamer is maybe
the other side of the coin then?
664
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,198
lt is exactly that.
665
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:09,518
l don't have the guts to go
and say to somebody's face -
666
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:14,595
that you're an asshole,
a total jerk-off of a person.
667
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:19,635
So l write a song about it,
and hopefully they recognize themselves.
668
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,838
Tarja does death grunt on this one!
669
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:34,193
That's it!
670
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:36,996
Heavy Metal as good as it comes!
671
01:33:06,440 --> 01:33:09,398
What did you get?
- Books about Hungary.
672
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:13,593
Oh, they're books...
-Pornographic publications!
673
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:16,595
Tarja is a kinky girl...
674
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:20,000
Toilet? lt's that one over there...toi!
675
01:33:21,305 --> 01:33:27,306
