Hopefully, like some of you guys say, the gentleman filling in is top notch.

He is my favorite drummer right after Mike Mangini. Here's some stuff he's done recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGMbHHgga18

I'm really really sad for Jukka, that must be awful. Hopefully he overcomes.

Really sad about this.....sucks he couldn't stick it out until the album's done.....after all, albums are permanent, tours aren't. But I understand health comes first at all times. Hope he returns sooner than later!

It's definitely unfortunate, and I can relate. I've dealt with severe insomnia issues myself, and it can wreck your entire life. When it causes you to give up or lose the things that mean the most to you, it's serious.

Sad to hear about this! Though he's no virtuoso, I really enjoy Jukka's drumming, and he's easily the second-most fun member of the band to watch on Showtime, Storytime after Floor (probably also second to Tarja on End of an Era). I have a close friend who really suffers from insomnia, though, so I have some idea of how debilitating that can be and definitely understand his decision to take a step back.

It is good to hear from others that his temporary replacement is excellent, though. I do hope to see Jukka back behind the Nightwish kit soon, though. It won't be the same without him.

This is one of my most anticipated albums of 2015. I am not that familiar with the band (I only have the excellent Century Child, though I have listened to many of their other songs), but it is still sad to see Jukka go. Luckily, Kai is the best replacement possible; I really like his work with Wintersun.

NIGHTWISH – release 'Planet Hell' (special clip)
While NIGHTWISH are currently working on their upcoming new studio album, fans can enjoy a series of five special clips, with impressions of the »Imaginaerum« world-tour.
Today marks the start with an impressive clip for the NIGHTWISH classic 'Planet Hell'.
Enjoy it here: https://youtu.be/CRJ_csyXosU

Pretty cool of them to release this and supposedly more to come and a pretty cool performance of a song that isnt on Showtime Storytime so I hope the other clips fall into that category as well.

Sweet! My introduction to NW was thru this song. Always holds a special place for my ears.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #1407 on:** August 12, 2014, 10:23:04 AM »

Not bad for Floors first performance of the song.

I really want to hear her sing The Siren.

cramx3 · « **Reply #1408 on:** August 12, 2014, 10:38:40 AM »

Yea thats pretty ballsy and shows a lot of confidence to show off a first performance of a new singer like that. I like it a lot.

Evermind · « **Reply #1409 on:** August 12, 2014, 10:41:54 AM »

Yep, this is great, they should really keep them coming! It's always exciting to hear more Nightwish material with Floor.

*Looks for self in video.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #1411 on:** August 12, 2014, 06:27:09 PM »

I honestly like Tarja on that song better, but I need to hear a version where Floor is more comfortable

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #1412 on:** August 12, 2014, 06:50:22 PM »

Can't help but think about the situations with Tarja and Annette when hearing about Jukka's plight. I wonder if it would have killed them(him) to allow Jukka some time to recover before working on the album.

Sounds to me like it's been an ongoing condition over the course of years. He says he's tried multiple treatments to no avail. I would assume he has had some off time over the years, be it a month or months to fight it. If so, at what point should (or if) the band say..."Hey, we need to give Jukka x amount of time to get this handled, and in that time we take a hiatus" Not sure what the right answer would be. Bottom line is I hope he gets it resolved for his well being, then returns to the fold!

Floppy disks for the win!

cramx3 · « **Reply #1415 on:** August 22, 2014, 06:04:32 AM »

Its interesting the Jukka is in the video at the end, I guess that was filmed before his announcement. Really sucks that he was involved in the making of the album up to that point and then couldnt go on.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #1416 on:** August 22, 2014, 06:13:58 AM »

Yea it was most likely filmed before but either way he's still involved behind the scenes in the management and I also assume he's involved in the drum recording process in some way and assist Kai with certain things.

Evermind · « **Reply #1417 on:** August 29, 2014, 03:55:39 AM »

Nightwish released their next live video: Last of the Wilds.

I'm very pumped for the upcoming album. I think Floor is miles better than Tarja (who I strangely enough don't really like at all) and Anette combined. Also I think Imaginaerum is their best record so... AND it does not make matter worse that now they have my favorite drummer playing on this record. Kai Hahto is one of the tastiest, most elegant yet very virtuoso-like drummers out there.

Scorpion · « **Reply #1419 on:** August 29, 2014, 01:17:30 PM »

He plays drums for Wintersun, right?

Cool, I think they like going to LA to rehearse and open the tour.

lonestar · « **Reply #1424 on:** September 08, 2014, 02:59:57 PM »

So I guess I can plan on the third of May for the SF show.

ErHaO · « **Reply #1425 on:** September 08, 2014, 03:51:34 PM »

Wait, Kai Hahto plays the drums on the new album?! Let's hope he gets some freedom to add some flavour here and there.

Riitasointi · « **Reply #1426 on:** September 10, 2014, 02:38:19 PM »

There was an interview with Kai Hahto on a local newspaper around here (Kai is from the region I live in) and in that interview he says that there's going to be a song on the new NW record that's half an hour long. Interesting. I hope Tuomas has really thought this through and the song has enough good elements to survive 30 minutes.

cramx3 · « **Reply #1427 on:** September 10, 2014, 02:53:30 PM »

Wow, that would be different for NW

aprilethereal · « **Reply #1428 on:** September 11, 2014, 12:36:24 AM »

Hopefully the song doesn't feature a spoken word performance of an awful poem that takes up half the runtime

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #1429 on:** September 11, 2014, 06:13:57 AM »

^ yeah that.

cramx3 · « **Reply #1430 on:** September 11, 2014, 06:15:17 AM »

Agreed, but I cant imagine a 30 minute NW song that doesnt have a long orchestral break. Hopefully, no spoken words.

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #1431 on:** September 11, 2014, 06:33:02 AM »

I'm not even against spoken word, it just has to not suck.

Latest Making Of video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJF4Twus_08

I find it interesting that Jukka is still involved at this point. Even putting together his own drum set and rehearsing with the band. Makes me think that Kai will not be doing his own style of drumming for the album. All speculation on my part.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #1433 on:** September 11, 2014, 10:15:21 AM »

Can't see the video at the moment but isn't the footage from earlier this year? Maybe even before he got public with his condition?

cramx3 · « **Reply #1434 on:** September 11, 2014, 10:29:42 AM »

Yea, its from earlier this summer. Defintieyl before the announcement, but the point i was making was that he was playing drums on the demos for the new songs so I am not sure how much Kai will actually be writing/contributing.
