Can the members of nightwish introduce the past lead singer and the present lead singer?

Synthesis: Nightwish is a theater metal band from Finland, which was founded in 1996.

Music style: mainly theater metal and new metal, but also other elements (for example, the new album 20 12 also includes Japanese Taigu and Turkish suona).

Briefly speaking,

Membership (personal hobbies and the like are not the point)

Tumas Holopanin: Keyboard player, the actual core of nightwish, who wrote most of the songs and lyrics. Kitee was born in 1976. 12.25,10/year, studied piano, clarinet, saxophone and music theory, and became active in music groups in 1993. 1In July, 996, he and his friends sat around the campfire and held a party. He, Tarja (lead singer of Night Wish 1996-2005) and Emppu (guitarist) were the founding members of Night, and then drummer Jukka joined in. After several performances at 1997, Enpu and Zhuka will perform military service, while Talia will finish school. The performance was stopped at night, and 1998 resumed. Thomas's songs involve fantasy and myth, weaving a dreamlike fairyland for the attentive audience.

In 2005, after the end of an era in Helsinki (that is, the "era-ending concert" recommended by many people) ended successfully, Tumas drafted an open letter accusing Tarja, the lead singer at that time, of deviating from the music path of Night, and expelling him from Night (the Chinese version of this letter is still online). Later, Thomas and his teammates selected Anette Olzon, the current lead singer, through massive screening, and Thomas is still continuing his musical journey in nightwish with his teammates.

Although Thomas's activities in the concert are limited to electric piano, his piano playing movements combined with his long black hair are also very attractive for shooting. Sometimes Thomas will put a bottle of wine around him for his teammates to drink during the performance to supplement his passion (which can be found in the video of the concert).

Others:

Often thought of as Jesus, embarrassing. . . . . .

Philosophy of life: Tomorrow is always as far away as yesterday. Seize today.

I'll be alone for five minutes before the performance.

Tumas's worst nightmare on stage: having to sing again (... is it so terrible to sing again)

Next up are two lead singers

Tarja Turunen: 1996-2005 nightwish lead singer.

Birthday: 1977.8. 17

Place of birth: Kitti, Finland

The course of learning music: primary school learned to sing, play the piano and play the flute, high school began to learn classical singing, and college learned to teach music. Of course, now I concentrate on classical singing.

Talia was a member of the nightwish Organization when it was founded. Tarja's female voice is very special. She can carefully blend classical elements into metal music and pronounce it clearly with monosyllables. This kind of hierarchical opera voice is in the metal school, and few female singers can compete with Tarja.

Tarja and nightwish * * * released five albums, as well as some selected works, singles and so on. Tarja's opera singing and the gorgeous lyrics of nightwish made nightwish stand out in the female metal band at that time and served as the foreground image of nightwish for nine years.

Leaving nightwish: Shortly after night wish's concert in Helsinki in 2005 was a great success, Night Wish published an open letter drafted by Tumas and signed by three other people. In the letter, Tarja is portrayed as a greedy and selfish singer, including 1996 Tarja, who has never participated in writing and arranging music since nightwish was founded. I never rehearsed with others before recording in the studio, and always left my teammates with my husband (Marcelo Cabri, Argentine entrepreneur) when touring (of course, Tumas said they could accept this). The most serious problems are greed, contempt for fans and violation of the agreement. A concert scheduled to be held in Oslo with tickets sold in advance was cancelled because Talia had to rehearse her singing, meet friends and watch movies (this was explained by Talia's husband Marcelo in an email), which was just one of many incidents. Tuomas finally expressed regret that Tarja would give up the idea of making more money from concerts, and warned her that it was very dangerous to combine opportunism with love, and stated that they were not proud of the decision to expel her, but Tarja left them no choice and politely wished Tarja a happy life in the future. Three other members of "nightwish" signed their names after Tumas. (Note: There are different opinions about the composition of this letter. )

After the release of the open letter, Talia, on the one hand, was constantly criticized by the outside world, on the other hand, she also wrote back a letter to her old partner, with much more euphemistic wording, saying only that Thomas' language was too intense and did not accuse anyone else. Then, Tarja started her own singing activities.

After leaving Night, Tarja has his own band, and still sings in a classical way. Maybe he misses the past. Tarja will sing nightwish's old songs in her solo concert from time to time, which is somewhat comforting for fans who miss nightwish during Tarja's time.

Tarja usually doesn't perform body movements at concerts. All she has to do is put on a nightgown or evening dress and sing with her, which is enough to fascinate the fans at the scene.

Postscript: Tarja has become the most popular singer in Finland and one of the most famous classical singers in the world because of her outstanding performance in nightwish and Later.

Tarja's honorifics include "Voice of Finland", "Sister Metal", "Queen of the Scene" and "Queen of Opera".

Tarja has participated in many National Day performances and led the Finnish national anthem at the National Day ceremony in Finland in 2007. The President of Finland invited him to attend the Independence Day party held at the presidential residence.

Tarja ranks fourth in the list of "the most distinctive voices in the world" published by the world's most credible Billboard music magazine.

In 2009, in a poll conducted by a Romanian metal music website, Talia and Anette Olzon (the current lead singer of Night) both won the title of "Sexiest Female Metal Musician". Of course, Tarja was the first.

Tarja participated in the production of 20 10 Scorpion farewell album.

Current lead singer: Anette Olzon (2007-present)

Birthday:1971.1.5438+0

Place of birth: Sweden (Sweden)

Background: arnett was born into a musical family. She started singing at an early age and studied oboe for eight years. When she was a child, she often toured with her mother and her band (sometimes performing on the stage). /kloc-At the age of 0/7, she joined her first real band. Anette was the lead singer of Swedish classical rock band Alyson Avenue. After nightwish expelled Tarja in 2005, after extensive screening, she was chosen as the new lead singer. At present, Anette has released two albums in nightwish.

Before the performance, Annette will drink some green tea with honey to help her practice her pronunciation.

Annette's favorite nightwish songs are Once Dreams and Above Hope.

Comparison between Anette and Tarja: Compared with Tarja's classical bel canto, Anette's popular singing may make some old fans of Night dissatisfied, but Anette can bring a wider range of fans to Night. After all, Anette is more popular with pop fans. At the same time, at the concert, Anette was much more lively than Tarja's elegant manners, which led to a lot of live atmosphere.

Note: Anette hired a private manager during the nightwish tour. At one time, it was thought that Night was in a separatist crisis, but Tumas immediately stood up and expressed his understanding and support for arnett's behavior (arnett was Swedish after all, and there were communication problems when dealing with Night's affairs). In an interview with reporters, bassist Marco Tapani Hietala also expressed his support for arnett, and pointed out that arnett was under great pressure and the players would. Then the storm gradually subsided.

Guitarist Emppu Vuorinen

Birthday: 24.6. 1978

Place of birth: Kailava

Background: Emppu is one of the elders founded by nightwish. It was he who changed the original box piano into the familiar electric piano. At the same time, Emppu and Tuomas invited Jukka (drummer) to join nightwish. Emppu and Jukka have never performed in nightwish's songs so far, and they have been sticking to their posts and meticulously cooperating with the band.

As a low-key player, Emppu focuses on the internal affairs of the band (such as giving general interviews and shooting MV), but Emppu is a bright spot in Night on the MV and stage. His passionate performance and long blond hair make him as elegant as the lead singer in MV and live, and his active interaction with the audience has activated the audience's enthusiasm.

Bassist Marco Tapani Hitara

Birthday: 1966.05438+0. 14

Place of birth: Kailava, Finland

Background: Kyle was born in an active music family and studied jazz, rock and classical music. 12. At the age of 3, he began to study guitar, bass and music theory in music school. Kyle is also the lead singer of Tarot Band (composed of Kyle and his brother), and participated in Northern Kings, the first bel canto heavy metal band composed of the lead singers of four Finnish bands.

Note: In fact, before Kyle, there was a bassist named Sami in Night, but he left Night at 200 1 and now he is out of public view.

As the oldest member of nightwish, Marco not only plays the bass, but also acts as a male voice from time to time, and even takes him as the lead singer in several songs. At the same time, Kyle also has a big sign-his distinctive beard, which has always attracted people's attention. In MV (especially in "I wish I had an angel" in Tarja period), his beard is a landscape.

Kyle's favorite nightwish song is The Siren.

Kyle thinks the worst nightmare on the stage is losing his voice (after all, he wants to sing).

Kyle's idol is American astronaut Armstrong.

Drummer jukka antero Julius Nevalainen

Birthday 1978.04.38+0

Born in joensuu, Finland.

Background: Jukka 1 1 years old began to practice drum sets. At first, she only practiced by hitting the bed chair or the target. 1 1 year-old, joined a band called "The Highway" at the age of 2, and had a fixed practice place at the age of 6. EMP pu (guitarist in night wish) practiced some Finnish rock music from the beginning, and accepted the invitation of Tuomas and Emppu to join Night Wish at the age of 17, which started an important course in his life.

Jukka is also a low-key figure in nightwish, but he will release his energy incisively and vividly when playing. Whether in the MV or at the performance site, the wildness of Jukka's hitting action and his shouting action symbolizing strength (especially in the MV Amaranth Red) also give Night a greater advantage in the fierce competition of metal bands. Whenever Jukka starts playing, it can make quite a few fans fall into fanaticism.

In 2003, Jukka joined Sethian, released only one album, and then formed a fun band, but Jukka only specialized in Nightwish.

Zhuka is not only successful in her career, but also a model husband and father at home. He has a son and a daughter.

In life, Jukka likes to drink beer and has many kinds of favorite dishes, but Jukka is a vegetarian.

Jukka's motto in life is: Today will be happier than yesterday.

Zhuka is a perfectionist.

This is my answer to this question. The above content comes from Baidu Encyclopedia and some Nightwish news reports. This is the first time I have answered such a long question. Nightwish, after all. With my love for it, I wrote down all the information I can provide. It is estimated that there should be thousands of words. I hope the questioner can find what he wants from it. Please forgive me if there are any shortcomings. After all, as a high school student, I don't have much time to check again and again. Enjoy your reading. )
