I was lucky enough to chat with Marko after a show during his solo tour last year, and I can confirm he's a real sweet heart !! Very humble, reachable and down to earth person. We waited for him in the street outside the venue, and he stayed with us about half an hour, chatting, taking pictures, signing stuff... Unforgettable moment !!
Oh wow, I'm so jealous!
Not jealous, definitely not jealous 😩yes I am!!
These are the stories that make me love bands more, I met Herman Li from Dragonforce at a dream theather gig at the bar and chatted with him for 15-20 minutes and he was totally chill and so interested in my life and my musical journey, he even bought me A beer despite me wanting to buy him 1
You're very lucky
When I met him after a Tarot gig once I went to shyly shake his hand but he, glowing with this awesome drunken good-natured Zen, was like 'Pfffft, let's hug!'. So we hugged. 😂
The BEAST; double-necked Warwick bass, and 6-string Framus guitar, and men Nightwish tought guys don't get tears - we just sweat throught our eyes...
Infinity/Panthera, custom shop special order, very deep pockets required.
"Floor is my back up singer." This tee shirt needs to be made. haha
You'd think! But right now, only 3 could wear it: Marko, Troy, and Freya.. technically it could go to 6 if you include Henk, Simone, and Tarja!
@@athlonen And Sir Russell Allen, Damien Wilson, Robert Soeterboek... Star One Space Metal!!! The whole show is here on YT. It's a must watch!!! Many songs used in Ayreon began in that concert. Floor was only 19 years old. It's my favorite . 💕🙏🇺🇸
It was. And given to Markko as a Christmas present.
@@athlonen Arjen made it, when it wasn't mainstream: 21 years ago at "My house on Mars"
@@athlonen Simple. Just put the pictures of Marco, Troy, Frejia including the statement on the Shirt, and problem solved everyone can wear the Shirt.
You were kind of right about sitting around a camp fire, but in the official video the fire is 'sitting' around Nightwish.
Troy is playing his low whistle: a traditional Irish instrument.
Marko composed the music and Tuomas wrote lyrics. When he spoke Finnish he was asking the audience if they'd sing the chorus with him. The MV for this is cool too. Troy is playing the Irish Low Whistle.
There are many ways of translating it, no surprise there, a Finnish speaker told me it's something like:
If I play the chorus, you will sing along?
You will?
OK, then we'll do it!"
@@572Btriode As a Finn - I can confirm.
@@EneriGiilaan Thank you, that's very kind to take the time to confirm this. It is very remiss of me that I did not record the original translator so I could give due credit.
Jukka did really well during the virtual show. saw an interview he gave about joining the band. really cool, humble guy. loves NW, but, like he said, you can't replace Marko.
Yes he did great. Loved Floor's thumbs up to him during show 1.
I liked his job too, Nightwish is still great
Please do this reaction one more time together with Sarah i think she will love this one. And shes just a sweetheart.
Watching the video
We all love Marko and we wish that he comes back next year but his (mental) health is obviously more important.
It's also quite different as the song is written by Marko. It stands out in the stormy sea of Tuomas compositions.
Tuomas helped him with the lyrics ... always has Marko's back, just as Marko has his. Giants of music working together - heart be still.
Since you mentioned a bonfire , you should definitely check out the official musicvideo for this song🙂 It's from the Anette era and it's really awesome👌
there is a rockbands with flutes of course the famous jethro tull .and a dutch group focus with jan akkerman
Peter Gabriel also played the flute with Genesis.
This is what Nightwish was originally going to be about. Laid back campfire songs... Then they got in touch with Tarja (an old friend from school) to come sing and her opera chops birthed Symphonic Metal genre. Needless to say, the new found raw power of Tarja's vocals gave Tuomas a new direction for the whole band... And thus we have Symphonic Metal.
So... It would be appropriate to say "Tarja the Mother of Symphonic Metal". Has a nice ring, don't you think?
@@bockusd in a way this is correct... Tuomas was and is the Mozart behind everything, but without Tarja's vocals, the band wouldn't have headed this way. Tarja inspired the birth of Symphonic Metal. They did it together, but she was a key person here.
To be fair, I don't think that NW should get all the credit for founding the genre. Tuomas has mentioned Therion as an influence/inspiration, but I reckon that many early bands influenced each other.
Nightwish - Bless the Child (Wacken 2013) this is divine.
Whoever sent you this link robbed you. The really fun part at the beginning is cut out. He describes his band members as weasels because they left him here alone on stage and he now has to somehow provide entertainment. 😁🤘
If you didn't notice he had allready fastforwarded the first 2 minutes 🙂
@Crazy Cat Dani haha looks like you're right, my mistake 😄 Dunno how the first time I watched this I thought he started the clip from around 2min mark when it obviously is from 00:00
He used the one from the official Nightwish channel that got put up relatively recently.
"I got something in my eyes.." Yeah it´s called tears! 😂❤
React to " My Walden " very underrated song by them , hardly anyone reacts to it
Both Tampere 2015 and Wembley 2015 versions are great.
There is a nice video to My Walden on "Sendaikokujin" YT channel. It has got 3M views. The rest of her videos do not have too many views.
You need to do the Greatest Show on Earth from this concert at Tampere
Yes.
Yes, but how many pauses during that performance?
@@qayaki Forewarned is forearmed.
You’re not the only man to tear up during this song. 😉 Also, I’d like to make a declaration…no more NW reactions without Sarah!
Yes! Or react to it again with Sarah! Double content! Haha
I agree, we need more Sarah and Nightwish together.
nightwish is on another level over everybody
"You don`t hear metal bands with wistles."
Eluveitie: Let us introduce ourselves.
Thanks for mentioning Eluveitie. One of my favs, totally underrated band, with very few YT reactors giving it a go. And if, then usually just Rebirth, The Call of the Mountains, or King. Given all their great stuff available, that´s really a shame!
"You dont hear rock bands with flutes"
Jethro Tull: Hold our beer
@@mikegershon8528 Yes! And when it comes to flutes, also Arjen Lucassen's Ayreon immediately comes to mind....
And don’t forget Camel! And Genesis, Heart and Moody Blues. It’s a beautiful sound for any Rock/Prog band so why not Metal, especially Symphonic Metal!
and Wagakki Band! man, Daisuke, while playing, jumps, runs, performs acrobatic movements...
Ohhhh I LOVE Marko and NIGHTWISH 🤘 💥
Marko studied classical guitar and music theory in high school. And, yes, you should check out the official video, which is great.
That's Nightwish.. Never know what kind of song it might be, you just know going in it's going to be fantastic..
Hallo Tom, when you like this side of Nightwish. Two tips, Slow love Slow, live at Montreux Jazz Festival( with Anette). Or Edema Ruh from her Cruise Concert.
Thank You Tom for your Nightwish reactions. One can easily notice that you deeply understand good music whether it`s heavy metal or ballads or what ever. Nightwish guys are so multiskilled and Tuomas is a musical genius as well as Marko and Troy also. I was little surprised that you told that in the States you don`t have many metalbands, but in Finland we have a very strong metal tradition and Nightwish is one of them and there are many more of them like Wintersun, Tarot etc. One thing is surprising me in this Finnish metal genre, these bands come very often from very small towns or even villages just like Nightwish is from a very small community and still you can find such talent as the Nightwish guys are.
Do another reaction of this song with your wife!! We won't care if you already heard it. We love it when Sarah hears these songs too! A bunch of reactors have done this too 😄
It is a beautiful song, and this is a great and beautiful performance.
22.000 + in the audience including Floor's parents and sister Irene.
These Nightwish ballads are so well executed that people falls into trance. Floor took her turn down the catwalk in Sleeping Sun - and Emppu also walking down there. Phenomenal concert
They are such top level musicians .. making magic is what they do
You missed his bantz with the audience before he starts, which is great. Everything he does is full of his tremendous character and humour (in addition to his amazing talent).
This is the 3rd American reactor that has missed the beginning interaction with the crowd. Not sure if it's a cultural thing that they're too impatient to get to the song. 😉
@@brianalmeida1964 You can clearly see he started the video from the start, he didn't deliberately skip anything. He simply chose a different video than what we are used to seeing.
@@L3onOfKings fair enough, I hadn't in fact noticed lol my bad 😳
Tom Tuffnuts used to, especially at the beginning of his acquaintance with Nightwish, regularly stop NW videos a few seconds before the end. That was also annoying, but luckily he changed that habit at some point. The most annoying thing is when the reactors bypass parts in the middle of the videos. I've seen those too.
Yes this song that TRUE power (or the power of TRUE ART) that can touch you to the tearing up degree.
I got dirt in my eyes as well! That damn dirt!
This is brilliant....but you missed the start where he complains about the other Weasels leaving him alone :-)...He looks so happy when the rejoin him...not that he needs that really.....
This is just awesome....but honestly...what should go wrong if you have the best Backup Singer ever....:-)...This just shows that not only Floor is great...the complete Band shows a huge amount of talent.....You should have shown that your wife....
But as always: All Hail the Queen !
That is "The Beast¨, it's Marko's Bass/Gitar.
Always chills when the others come in.
You've got to show Sarsh this one! I'd have loved to know what she thinks of it.
Double neck guitars are very common. I grew up in the seventies and eighties and a lot of rock/classic rock/heavy metal bands used them. At the top of my head: Rush, Fleetwood Mac, Yes, Led Zeppelin, The Band, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, to name a few. I remember Slash (Guns 'n' Roses) playing his double neck (I think) Gibson.
I wont my tears back!💃💃💃
From Buenos Aires!
The instrument is a Warwick Infinty base combined with a Panthera guitar specially built for Marko lovingly nicknamed "The Beast".
And a couple of other things: Marko is a featured artist for Warwick basses. He has always played them: a good reason and influence for that is John Entwistle from The Who. The same model of bass John played is the same model Marko used at Wacken. They also resurrected what was a defunct guitar/luthier company from Germany called Framus. This is a custom piece made for Marko that is a Framus guitar on the bottom neck and a Warwick bass on the top neck. He uses this also when they play Weak Fantasy, as well as some of his solo material.
Second, react to this video again with your wife. She would absolutely love this!! In fact, I'd say to have both of you react to this performance again, then react to the official video. You'd love the storytelling in that. But definitely do Tampere again, followed by the official video.
Told you there were weasels in the Nightwish rabbit hole! I like weasels! The guitar is called "The Beast" - yes, bass at the top, guitar underneath.The original music video is great too!
This was only 20+ thousand. Wacken was 82 thousand but this was in Finland
Love imagining the collective groan as you pause just before the band come in 🤣🤣🤣 great reaction as always though, love this song
You should listen to Weak fantasy to see more of his guitar play.
Or, the whole Tampere concert.
Tom, sir, Funfact. That day Floor´s parents were in the audience, They are soooo proud of her elder daughter. When Floor saw the reactions of her parents on camera (TV-show of the Netherlands) she shed happy tears. Man stay safe and sound Gg.
Onion ninjas. Thanx for the reaction. Every time I listen to Nightwish the ninjas appear. Chopping those damn onions. Peace.🤘
Very good - another Nightwish! Maybe you could do: I want my tears back from Buenos Aires 2018
Everytime I see this performance I have the same reaction as you have. It brings tears to my eyes and at the same time a big smile on my face! So don’t feel ashamed for I think many of us feel the same. And I allways look at Marko’s face and see how he loves what he is doing there on stage. It makes me so very sad that he’s not able to perform like this at this point in his life. I really LOVE how the rest of Nightwish softly come blending in at the end of the song. It’s so beautfully done and all of them look so very happy. Thank you for this reaction, greetings from the Netherlands👋👋👋 P.S. Please do The Voice of my Father(english or finnish version)and Stones from his solo album! I guaranty you will love them, and please ask Sarah to watch it with you!
That is Marco's song. Something you can look into is Floor's Rock Academy days. A documentary that was made leading up to and including this concert.
czcams.com/video/OUIU0o5A48I/video.html
Have you seen the Documentary about how it all went when Floor started in Nightwish? :)
It´s called NIGHTWISH -"PLEASE LEARN THE SETLIST IN 48 HOURS
If you have a chance, look for another version of this at Tempere that shows the intro for this song. I think you'll enjoy it. Helps make more sense of the solo. (No need for a reaction, just for your benefit)
If you like Marco solo. Should check out Marko singing "voice of my father". It's part of his solo side project.
Marko's Bass / 6 string combo is called 'The Beast' and weighs in at 42 pounds! Great reaction Tom, as always 🤗 BTW, do you have tickets to the NYC show yet?
Thanks, Sara will love it too
If you wanna cry react to "Kiss while your lips are still red" live from Wembley. Also performed by Marko. Pure emotions. 😊🙂🤩
Dead Boy's Poem from Buenos Aires, which you will eventually get to, Marco plays both the guitar and the bass on it.
So good!
You FINALLY got to this one Tom! Marko has such a great voice. The song is a bit short on lyrics, could have done with a bit more, as in less repetition.
I never cried so much in my life 😭
Marko's mentioned Jethro Tull as being one of his favourite bands and I'd say that there are some definite Ian Anderson elements in this song (and in Marko's "Stones", for that matter). Anyway, thanks for the reaction, Tom!
Marco is playing guitar in this song, not bass! The guitar is a Framus guitar combined with a Warwick bass
Tom nowhere said Marco was playing bass on this song - listen well ...
I don't know the difference between a whistle and a flute either. lol. This song is a pure gem. And Marko has the best backup singer btw. Imagine the bragging rights. "Yeah, Floor does my back up vocals."
"This is a side of Nightwish I haven't heard before." Yes. Every song is a different side of Nightwish that one has never heard before! :) But just imagine being cool enough to have Floor Jansen.... as your backup singer!
This video makes me miss playing in a band on stage. I also miss Marko.
you wanna hear Marco sing pop songs check out the Finnish version of "the masked singer". HE WON IT.. awesomeness. nobody knew who was singing at that moment. greets from the netherlands.
nightwish music go every time comfort and pleasure zone . thanx to great reaction and lucky new week there. try out anette nightwish song meadows of heaven,thats the beauty music also.only lyric video. theres also usa church singers in that record?
Floor Jansen. World's Greatest backup singer (In The Islander). You are right on about the campfire motif. Search out the Music video Nightwish did for this song and you will see you are onto something.
Amazing😍! I love Marco!
Hi Tom At the beginning Marco.was talking to the crowd. You should checkout his and Floor's episode on Floor Finds on her Channel. Sarah would absolutely love it. His voice was different before his operation.
I knew you would love it!! I see a ninja cutting onions popped at your place. If you want some flutes in a rock band try Fiesta pagana from Mago de öz. Trust me, it's a party song and you'll LOVE it!
When you mentioned campfire I remembered that the MV for this song is very nice, you should check it out on your own time.
Can you do reaction to ‘Elvenjig and Elvenpath’ from Buenos Aires next? 🤗🤗
on the same concert, the last Song: The Greatest Show on Earth....for that you really need to calm down before or you wont stand it...lol...thanks for the reaction.
Hey Tom! Love your reaction. This band is absolutely phenomenal. When you react to The Greatest Show on Earth, believe me you can't avoid reacting to that song, please please react to The Greatest Show On Earth from this venue before you rewat to the same song from Wembly. Both are just unbelievable. There done just a touch differently. This venue has Troy with the Low Whistle and the Ullian Pipes where as in Wembly those instruments are done with an electric guitar. Trust me both are awesome but please do Tampere venue first, you'll understand after. Enjoy, stay safe and always have fun. Cya
You made the comment about Marko telling the rest of the group to take 10 ... you need to watch the minute or so before this song to see what he actually says ... it really shows you how well the group interact ;) ... and your campfire comment - you should watch the official "music video" for this song. It doesn't have Floor (it was filmed while Annette was still the lead singer), but it really does a great job of portraying the story the song is telling.
You should do Bye Bye Beautiful an Anette song off the same album as this song along with The poet and the Pendulum n Amaranth also off Dark Passion Play but make it the official video it's diffidently worth seeing (Marko shares the singing in this one)
It's funny you mention campfire, because in the music video that's how the band is arranged, is around a bonfire.
@Tom Tuffnuts A number of comments are accusing you of cutting off the beginning of the performance. I feel this is untrue.
There are 2 versions of this:-
The Official Nightwish version : czcams.com/video/ciLVx51IZjM/video.html : This is the short one.
The earlier unofficial version : czcams.com/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/video.html : This is the full performance.
Troy is playing the low whistle. Old style flute. Funny you mentioned a camp fire? Check out the music video for this song! Marco wrote most of this song with a little lyrical help from Tuomas.
Hiya. Why did you cut off everything at the start? That double neck, btw, is $7,000. Also, it's more Tam-purr-ay rather than Tam-peer. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Pronunciation of Tampere: forvo.com/word/tampere/#fi
This is the version uploaded on the Nightwish channel, which doesn't include the dialog at the beginning
You'd need a break from the rest of the show.. a side you've never seen from Nightwish....
Anyone want to tell him about Slow Love Slow? 😁 and then flip that around with Master Passion Greed, then flip it around again with Harvest!
Chillssssss
12:09 -12:49 “a band with so many dimensions..sounds, talents...”
Keep watching!! Keep listening!! 😹
There still is more to come!
Dead Boy’s poem at Beunos Aires is a moving song.
Jared Leto @3:42. Everyone misses him in their reaction videos.
Its about time!
You have to check out While your lips are still red live at Wembley!
In Europe we call this a FLUUT
Maybe it'll be interesting to try Lazy Bonez's official video "First to Go Last to Know" featuring Marko and Udo Dirkschnider
I have tickets 15.8 Nightwish in Helsinki FI.
Hey, if you haven't already you should check out Nightwish Elan live show at Beunos, Aires 2019, awesome thanks 😀
Only around 20,000 people there
Tom, don't know if you've seen Marko and Floor sing Ava Maria - czcams.com/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/video.html. If you can watch the end and not tear up, you simply don't have a heart. Watch how much they love each other - Marko has a "big brother" look on his face, then puts his head on her shoulder. It was so blurry, but that's because I was watching through tear-filled eyes.
Tampere konsert :) FI.
I know this was a while ago and gawd help me someone probably said this already but this video starts late, there was a whole part before this.
How many singer can say: I had Floor Jansen as Background singer.
Have we shown him The Poet yet? I feel like he’s ready
Not ready.
A couple of suggestions for a couple of other slow songs. Kamelot "Under Grey Skies" talking about surviving dark times in life, with Charlotte Wessels, another Dutch singer joining the stable of our aces Floor, Sharon and Anneke
czcams.com/video/e4b1SkQfgUA/video.html
and, by Nightwish, "Sleeping Sun" about a solar eclipse we had in Europe the 11 of August 1999, but actually playing out almost like a longing lost love song. It was a Tarja song and you can hear her fairy tale performance during the "End Of An Era" concert
czcams.com/video/E_RRMRXJWxI/video.html
but I personally like this ethereal melancolic Floor version the best. I just can't help it.
czcams.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/video.html
But you decide which rendition to pick. By the way, I'd suggest Sarah to be present for both songs: who we are to deny her some major ear candy? :)
Dust 🤣
Finaly those onion ninja's hit you :) But what about Ayreon-Age of Shadows?? please? Sorry but i keep asking hahaha
I am getting there, lifes been busy the last few days
@@TomTuffnuts hey Tom, Wacken 2013 : Song of Myself, Bless The Child, Amaranth, Dark Chest of Wonders, Wish I Had An Angel,Last Ride Of The Day
@@TomTuffnuts You know i am just teasing you right? I know it will come, all in due time, also don't forget Ayreon- River of Time hahahaha
