Why is Tarja the 'face' of the band, if Tuomas writes the songs?Įach band has a 'face', someone who immediately comes to mind when a band is mentioned. Tuomas - Korg Triton Classic, Korg N354, Korg Karma. Marco - Warwick Infinity bass, Kramer Forum 1 bass, Warwick Pro-tube IX amp. Full details of Jukka's drum setup can be found here. Jukka - Tama Starclassic drums, Paiste cymbals, Pro Mark sticks and Remo drumheads. Since then, the band has been stronger than ever. However, after a year, the band regrouped with new bassist Marco Hietala.
He took some time off, walking the hills and hiking. It is said that Tuomas had had enough by then and told the members to call it off, that Nightwish was coming to an end. Technically, no, although they nearly did when Sami left the band. However, where there is, Emppu plays bass aswell as guitar. On many of the songs on Angels Fall First, there is no bass. Tuomas speaks about this on the ‘End of Innocence' DVD. There were personal reasons which only the band knows, but we know that Tuomas and Sami had problems agreeing on things. Sami (Vänskä) was the bassist for Nightwish from 1998 to early 2002, at which point Marco (Hietala) joined.
However, he has said that as this name can be very hard to pronounce for Finnish people, he was given the nickname ‘Emppu' which has stuck to this day. Why is Emppu's name often listed as Erno?Įrno was actually his birth name. I liked the name and thought that this name describes what our music is all about so that is why it also became the band's name" Often I dream and send wishes to the stars.Originally it was the title of one from our very first demo, which included 3 acoustic songs ("Nightwish", "The Forever Moments" and "Etiäinen"), and because of that, our demo was called "Nightwish-demo".
Tuomas - "This is a cliché, but I love the night and its magic and I love to wander around at nightime and let my thoughts fly.
Where does the name 'Nightwish' come from?
