Fugazi Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 From Wintersun's Facebook: We congratulate Jukka Koskinen for getting this opportunity to play bass in Nightwish! Jukka is still of course in Wintersun, so nothing has changed in that department. Wintersun wishes Jukka a great debut show tonight! p.s. Beers on Jukka!

Fugazi Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 It's been one year already! Jukka #2 has now 17 shows under his belt, plus two virtual shows. How do you feel about his presence in the band this far? I think he's doing a good job, he's a competent player and seems to be enjoying himself despite not being very demonstrative. So far he doesn't seem to have brought anything new to the band, in the way Marko, Anette, Floor and even Kai have when they joined, but it's still early and if he's got anything to contribute it will show on the next album. Just like Kai was looking to replicate Jukka's drum playing on the old songs, but played more in his own style on Human Nature, I expect Jukka Koskinen to spice up the new album with perhaps different bass sounds or even some vocals? That would be welcome as far as I'm concerned. I'm assuming that he will be back for the album, and honestly I don't see why he wouldn't, but there hasn't been an official announcement yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way a few fans from the line at the show I went to had said which was that they're definitely starting to see him being introduced as the new bass player for Nightwish. He was really great at the show, and I hope he will be announced as the new bass player when the tour is finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
