So ein liebenswerter, wunderbarer Mensch. Marko ist ein ganz besonderer Künstler . Er strahlt Liebe aus durch und durch. Ich mag ihn so sehr und ich wünsche ihm alles Glück der Erde. Marko und seine Musik bereichert mein Leben. Danke 🙏🏼

My favorite musician. I love his voice and the way he sings, it gets under my skin. I also like his style. Pure, masculine, no frills. You recognize him immediately

He is truly missed in Nightwish, it's good to know that he is doing well. Fantastic interview, so many things that I didn't know. One of the best voices of the genre. Long live to the Viking 🤘🤘

I fucking love this man. There are and were a lot of incredible heavy metal singers... but Marko has the most unique voice I've ever heard. Beautiful and powerful. My metal master.

Schön Marko so frisch und entspannt zu sehen. Das Leben geht halt manchmal differenzierte Wege. Und Markos Weg ist Musik. Und der Weg ist sicherlich noch lange nicht zu Ende. Aber man lebt auch für seine Familie. Und das erdet jeden. Diese Kraft benötigt man um weitergehen zu können. Gerade mit der Krankheit Depression. Wünsche Marko diese Kraft und die Liebe die es brauchst um das weitergeben zu können, was ihm gegeben ist.

I love Marko and his voice ❤️ I went to a Nightwish concert recently and it's just not the same band and not the same songs without him. I'm so happy to see he's doing well and oh, how I wish to see him on stage - as a solo artist, part of a band, anything 🥹

Marko is awesome! His voice goes so well with Tarja, Annette, and Floor’s vocals, but stands out so much on his own. I would have expected nobody else but him to win the Masked Singer Finland, congrats on that too!

Legend 🙌

Marco is one of my favourite people in metal. This is such a great interview

Nice to see Marko,he looks great

He has such a unique voice and am glad he's doing better.. Hope to see him some day, still didn't have this chance

Hey, it's nice to see Marko again. It's been a while... His voice is one of the most distinctive and iconic voices in Metal there's no doubt about that. His voice sounds effing epic and it's predestined for Metal.

I am just so happy to see Marko happy, relaxed, and rocking an awesome sweater. Thank you for this interview!

Love his shirt and glasses. Cheers for these interviews in English for us non-Finnish speakers. \m/

Thank you, Marko. It’s great to see this interview. We love you!

I am glad that Marko doing well and has good mood. I can understand you Marko,we have the same age and every years who passed i feel more tired 😴 and i want to work less and to sleep more. Nightwish is a great band but has high demands and hours of concerts, travels and tours. I was angry for days after you left from the band but it's okay,you continue to be musician and singer so i will follow in your next solo albums or your other projects, bands, whatever. Great interview as always in English, thank you very much.

I see optimism in you and the desire to create many future hits. You are an inspiration to many young people who honestly and innocently look at the music world, such as my son who loves rock, and that's why I understand that it is not easy to carry such a burden on your back. But you are chosen and you are handling it well. Greetings from Serbia!

Good interview! It’s nice to hear Marko doing well and with the spirit to make jokes and talk scout his career again. Hope to see his work again on the big or small stages around the world

Guys. thank you very much for this awesome interview! Me being a musician and a vocalist myself it helped me very much! And I also enjoy Marko just talking! Next interview could be about Marko's bass and guitar skills! Thanks again so much!

Nice interview Marko. In the 90s I didn't "know" you at all. I'm a late bloomer 😜. But from the moment I came into contact with your music, I was sold. Both the music, but also your voice. Something in it touches you. The pure, raw and also the sensitivity in it. Top. So yes, I am also one of those people who like to hear you sing. Anyway, glad you're back!

One of my all-time Favorite musicians.🔥

God I miss Tarot and their gigs❤️

Is good to see Marko once again. He seems in a really good mood. 😁

He’s as good as it gets. Whoever he ends up with is insanely lucky

He is one of the greatest. And hopefully after Nightwish takes their 2 year (?) hiatus after this June tour, and Floor's new child is a little grown and the Pandemic is far far behind all of us, Marko will be back! Take care sir. Nightwish Army SW B.C. Canadian division reporting.

So almost like as an "accident" Marco became a vocalist, it was on a very similar fashion that another great Metal vocalist became a vocalist, Andre Matos with his first band Viper in the 80's... (=

I thought I was an atheist, but no, I have god and his name is Marko!

This man and his musical work are unique and all-encompassing. I wish he had the time to work more with Tarot and with Tommi Salmela, their synergy (pun intended) was one of a kind and quite infamous.

I literally moved to Finland to study and culdn't wait to see them and Marko left before I could. At least we had his Northern Kings performance this year! That was awesome. Good luck catching him! He's awesome in all his other projects and absolutely worth seeing without Nightwish.

So young. Oh my Lords and Ladies. Ok i want to know when the others started. Oh didn't know that. So sorry for him..because of his Voice.

Kinda annoyed he sort of shat on his performance in Century Child lol. His "Dead to the World" voice still gives me goosebumps till this day. The first time I heard it I thought it was another singer...this guy has so much range.

My idol

Fun and irrelevant fact about Marco: years ago he married a brazilian woman and she is from my town, a close friend of mine was the translator of the marriage ceremony.

Still miss Marko

Wow, what a charismatic guy. Seems so humble and down to earth. Didn´t expect that, tbh, but I´m very positively surprised!

So Maco was originally influenced by Ritchie Blackmore who's still going strong of course with wife Candice who sing in Metal. Fascinating

Saw Nightwish earlier this year and I missed Marko dearly. His parts are not the same without him. Not even close.

He's a little bit crazy... But that's what I like about him 💛

I always wonder if being part of Nightwish is a big nightmare? When they leave they all feel like so relieved and they talk like if they woke from a bad dream

I have heard Tarja and Anette say they have mostly nice memories from their days in NW and i'm sure Marko has too.

@TenyoGeorgiev

Жыл бұрын

I honestly believe it is related mostly to the work ethic and how the members perceive the band. Tarja was not happy that she didn't have creative control, hence she started working on a solo career on the side way before she got fired. Marko is also really artistic and wants to have a certain level of creative input. He also hates the "capitalism" in the music industry that is mostly affecting big bands like Nightwish. So naturally, he left. Anette was another story - they truly never got along it seems. There were constant fights (Anette's own words). On the other hand, we have Floor, who for a long time (almost 10 years), didn't want to write music. She needed quite some time to recover from the burnout. NW was a perfect choice for her, she sang the way she was told to and only had to learn the lyrics. And now she has her solo career on the side, but also loves being part of Nightwish. Long story short - if you are talented, but you don't want to write songs, and if you can bear Toumas' perfectionism and vision, you're probably a good pick for NW. Otherwise, your time with the band is limited. :D

I see being on Nightwish and any popular band for that matter, as being high performance atheletes on a high profile team, Broadway actors or Ballet corporation. The work is hard and consuming because they have to give their best performance ever on each show (competition, presentation in these metaphors). And they have to work as a well oil machine as they are a team and if one of the team underperforms it reflects on the overall performance of all of them. I’m not saying anyone underperformed, but it means it probably is a high pressure environment which works if you love what you are doing and are in good health. If you are not that convinced, wish to be doing something else less time consuming or have health issues, then you need to evaluate your options . And that’s just the bassic elements. You still have to add if you like and trust your teammates, if your boss, coach, director, lead is someone with good leadership qualities (and even then you might get into rocky arguments), schedules , personal schedules , family , managers, sponsors, etc So I think if they sound more relaxed is not like they woke from a nightmare, but that they don’t have the same pressure being now solo or with less high profile bands
