Nightwish’s Marco: I wish we could be friends
Marco Hietala would like the relationship with Tarja Turunen to return.
Nightwish isn’t by any means the only band to change vocalists. The firing of the band’s longtime singer Tarja Turunen with an open letter in 2005 is still an interest to the international media.
- How did the situation slide into something so bad, is one of the strangest mysteries of life. It’s an unpleasant thing. I have nothing bad to say about her album of anything. I just wish that she is successful.
- And yes… I’d like that someday we could again be friends, the band’s bassist Marco Hietala hopes in an interview with PopMatters.
Hietala tells that he hasn’t seen Nightwish’s former singer since the firing.
- We haven’t seen or talked after the split. We’re of course sad because upon a time things were good – we were friends no matter what others will say about it. We respected each other immensely.
Nightwish’s new singer, Anette Olzon, has been with the band for a while. The singer’s toughest test has been tours, which Olzon has managed well.
- She is more confident concert by concert. Everything she has brought to the band so far tells that we have a person who is interested and excited about things, Marco thanks the singer who replaced Turunen. Nightwish is currently touring venues in Europe and in May the band will head to America.

Nightwishin Marco: Kunpa voisimme olla ystäviä
Marco Hietala haluaisi, että välit Tarja Turusen kanssa palautuisivat.
NIGHTWISH ei ole suinkaan ainoa yhtye, jonka laulaja on saanut lähtöpassit. Yhtyeen pitkäaikaisen laulajan Tarja Turusen erottaminen avoimella kirjeellä 2005 kiinnostaa silti edelleen kansainvälistä mediaa.
- Kuinka tilanne luisui niin pahaksi, se on yksi elämän kummallisimmista mysteereistä. Se on ikävä juttu. Minulla ei ole mitään pahaa sanottavaa hänen albumistaan tai mistään. Toivon vain, että hän menestyy.
-Ja kyllä... haluaisin, että jonain päivänä voisimme olla taas ystäviä, yhtyeen basisti Marco Hietala toivoo PopMatters-sivuston haastattelussa.
HIETALA kertoo, ettei ole nähnyt Nightwishin ex-laulajaa sitten tämän erottamisen.
- Emme ole nähneet tai jutelleet eron jälkeen. Olemme tietenkin surullisia, sillä aikanaan asiat olivat hyvin - olimme ystäviä mitä tahansa muut siitä sanovatkaan. Kunnioitimme toisiamme suunnattomasti.
Nightwishin uusi laulaja, Anette Olzon, on ollut bändin matkassa jo hyvän tovin. Laulajan kaikkein kovin testi ovat olleet kiertueet, joista Olzon on suoriutunut hyvin.
- Hän on konsertti konsertilla yhä itsevarmempi... Kaikki mitä hän on tähän mennessä tuonut bändiin kertoo, että nyt meillä on bändissä sellainen ihminen, joka on kiinnostunut ja innostunut asioista, Marco kiittelee Turusen korvannutta laulajaa. Nightwish kiertää parhaillaan Euroopan keikkapaikkoja ja toukokuussa yhtye suuntaa Amerikan puolelle.
