#467 - Tarja Turunen (Ex-Nightwish)

This week, we’re joined by the one and only Tarja Turunen on The
MetalSucks podcast! In our discussion, we chat about her getting to
handpick the songs on her “Best Of” compilation album, why she
included video of a recent live performance with that album, and
the timeframe for her next solo release. We also discuss what it
was like doing her annual Christmas Together shows last year as a
livestream, how she’s handling having dates to perform in the
currently embattled Ukraine, and how fans come up with the
strangest questions for her. The show also features Petar and
Jozalyn sharing their impressions of the new Metallica song and how
the it, the new album, and two years of tour dates were announced
seemingly out of nowhere. They also chat about Pantera’s first show
back with Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante, GG Allin possibly getting
the biopic treatment, and Nickleback wanting to cover Meshuggah.
