  • Marco Hietala is incredible in The Islander - Live At Tampere!
    Nightwish continues to inspire me and thrill me as an amazing band of truly excellent musicians and performers.
    Marco has such amazing control of his voice and his colors and his shading is so wonderful. He belts, he sing in his mix and he sings loud, soft, high and low so effortlessly and with so many different shades and tones...it's awesome!
    He's also such a brilliant storyteller.
    I LOVED THIS!!

    The one thing I’ve always loved about Nightwish, is the fact that they craft music to let each individual instrumentalist shine and with a vocalist like Floor Jansen who has a voice that is so powerful ,the harmonies she does with Marco is just enough to complement Marco and not overpower his performance!

    Marco comes from a small town known as Tervo. My grandmother is related to him in some obscure way (cousins' cousins' twice removed or something like that; people from small towns are usually related to each other) and she thinks he is just a some long-haired rebel who moved out of the town to play some music for fun. Once, I tried to explain to her that Marko is a world-famous musician, and I ended up feeling like I need to bang my head against a wall. Marco is so underappreciated here that it makes me cry.

As a citizen of Kuopio, Finland it is always so hilarious to see Marko at the local supermarket, wearing some stage ready leather-flame outfit and everybody let´s him do his shoppings in peace. He´s just been our Marco since Tarot and we don´t really have the star culture (thank god).

  • @Pitchblackbones
    @Pitchblackbones Před 3 lety +2

    I'll be honest, I TOTALLY understand how it's easy to turn off your analytical mind with a truly transcendent song like The Islander. It's easily one of my favorite songs of all time, and I'm immediately transported to a waterfront far, far away from central Missouri.
    You're doing just fine with a song like this, and I still appreciate the nuanced commentary that you added in this video. To be clear, your musicianship, your critical commentary from 30 years of experience is powerful, it is *'meaningful* and I'm thankful for your contributions; but as a rabid nightwish fan for over half of my lifetime, I also come here to have the privilege of watching the wonder of new fandom flourish in someone's eyes. The shock, the thrill, the serenity, the intensity that a new fan experiences, it's beautifully nostalgic to me (and I'm confident in saying many others feel the same). So if you just need to be a fanboy for a period of time, fanboy away! That's JUST as enjoyable to me.
    You may want to take a look at Guylain Prince's model of reaction. As a professional literary theologian, and choir director, he puts a LOT of work into dissecting the lyrical commentary of each song. But his approach is very novel, and one that guarantees more views for the channel - he always begins with the first video, which is a simple reaction video, he makes commentary on the experience, how it impacts him, and his understanding of the subject matter. Then he makes a SECOND video, where he does his professional work, pulling the lyrics apart, putting them back together, inserting clips from the song to show how the track works so marvelously. I understand that you're a very busy man, and perhaps this is too much to ask of you, but this might be an effective means to divide your time into a) simple pleasure and appreciation of musicianship, and b) critical analysis, coupled with singing tips and tricks.
    Personally, I'm not horribly disturbed by your video quality, it's obviously not *brilliantly* crisp, and there *are* some definite concerns with compression problems (the video can be weirdly pixelated here and there, I see it most in the TV behind you) but if you never improved your camera, I wouldn't leave in a huff.
    With that being said, if you *did* decide to upgrade your camera to something accessible, I *DO* think the reach of your channel would improve, and it is a testament to your ability as a budding youtuber that it has reached 14k subscribers even WITH a "subpar" camera - many audiences simply refuse to watch low-quality video. If you don't have one already, you may want to consider opening up a Patreon account, where fans of yours could pay in for specialized content (perhaps from your other Inner Singer program?)

    Everyone knows Floor is the frontwoman, but it doesn't hide the fact that NIghtwish has 2 lead vocals! Marco is sooo god he could have his own band and sing!
    The best thing of all, is that Floor and Marco benefit so much from each other, their harmonies are sick, they sing so beautifully together, and their choruses are absolutely boombastic.
    Also, Marco can give Floor some vocal rest in a 2 hour concert, wihtout sacrificing frontperson quality.
    AWESOME.
    I subbed, btw, apart from your obvious knowledge on the subject (I am perplexed, you come up with the notes and melody of a song section after hearing it 30 seconds ago), you enjoy the performances as only a few youtubers do...

    Not sure about large TV panels, but for watching on 5-6" smartphones the quality is quite enough.
    Thanks for the Islander by the way (:
    There's another song where Marco did a great job - it's a cover on Pink Floyd "High Hopes" song. Perhaps this cover does not need a video reaction, but I think you should definitely listen to it for fun.

      Vadim M. I usually watch on a laptop, and the quality is fine (you can tell it's not HD, but still perfectly acceptable) most important thing for these kinds of video's is the sound quality, which is excellent.

    Hi...Floor Jansen was born on the 21st of February in Goirle, The Netherlands and joined Nightwish (from Finland ofcourse) some years ago. Together with Marco Hietala, they form the top of what lets itself being described as 'ultimate singing skills'...an amazing duo, which I coincidentally learned to love 100%...thnx!

  • @y1x1ng222

    Floor and Marko are incredible together. Add Troy's backing vocals to the mix and you have magic. Many of the songs from the Live in Buenos Aires 2018 concert have a lot of collaboration between Floor, Marko, and Troy. React to any of those songs, and you'll be amazed! Great reaction!

    I don't find a single thing annoying or distrating on your videos. I could watch these every day, or multiple times per day. Video quality is not the best (but it's nowhere near bad either), but for me it's this content and audio quality what matters the most. So, thank you sir! PS. I'm still waiting for "The Phantom Of The Opera" by Nightwish (End of an Era).

  • @kelley9382

    omg ILOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GUYS VOICE TOO!!!! I came here as a diehard fan of #marcohietala I have adored him most since Tarja. He is the thing I've loved about Nightwish. Mad props to Tuomas. He IS Nightwish, but my gods , so is MARCO. I adore Floor, she IS effortless AND flawless & simply can't be beat. I'll keep listening to Nightwish, but I'm deeply conflicted about Nightwish without Marco. I tried to sing for years in school, but I'm hopeless. I STILL adore people like you. AND Marco. 😃

    Wow when Marco went higher on that last bit and Floor rolls with it because they usually don't do that. It was beautiful. I had the pleasure of seeing that song live it was so beautiful it immediately drew the whole venue into the song. If you really like Marco he cam out with his own solo album Pyre of the Black Heart, and sang with another band called Tarot.

    I was at the first concert they ever did with material from Dark Passion Play and their new lead. It was an "open secret" concert in a small rock club close to where I lived at the time. The new singer was definitely a change, but she was alright.
    ...aaaand then the lights dimmed and torches and a single chair were marched on to the stage. Marco came out alone holding an acoustic and as the intro started, I knew I was going to hear something magical.

  • @thanorodd5663

    Always fun to see someone knowledgeable really appreciating Marko. I would strongly recommend reacting to Nightwish's performance of "Phantom of the Opera" with Tarja, as Marko puts on an unbelievable performance there. He's also prominent in "Romanticide" live at Wacken, among so many others. Always looking forward to your next Nightwish reaction, whatever it is!

    I'm a fellow musician and wonder which stone I've been living under for the past hundred years never having heard of both Floor and or Nightwish.
    I only discovered Nightwish last week through watching various artists on Beste Zangers comparing them to the rubbish we get here in UK on similar type
    talent shows i.e. The Voice, X Factor etc and it was on that show that I heard Floor performing Phantom where she was great.
    Nightwish popped up a few times in the thumbnails but I never paid much attention to them but so glad I did and now I'm totally totally hooked.
    The best live performances I have ever heard and love your reviews as full of passion and your sheer amazement like mine at their talent.

  • @paulmdevenney
    @paulmdevenney Před 3 lety +10

    For More Marko - While Your lips are still red, Phantom of the Opera and the High Hopes Pink Floyd cover (End of an Era). No I don't think the camera quality is distracting, but your content is very professional and having a higher quality camera/lighting setup would help reinforce that for you. EDIT - I think your format of coming back to do a second video where you go into the detail is great.
    Also....can you teach me to sing like Marko? Or half as good even !

  • @Zozo-K-

    I watch a lot of Nightwish reactions and yours are my favorites, because you do know what you’re talking about and you ARE so appreciative of the songwriting and performance. And I’ve never noticed anything wrong with your video quality...it’s fine. Some suggestions for future Nightwish reactions: from the Wacken 2013 show, Storytime, Everdream, Romanticide, and I Want My Tears Back.

  • @lilz3bra
    @lilz3bra Před 3 lety

    As I was trying to describe to a friend of mine why I loved nightwish' songs (but didn't have the technical knowledge to put it into words), I came by this channel, and although I was looking for a technical analysis of Marco's singing, I was really delighted by how much joy, fun and pleasure you got from the song.
    I was thinking about writing that, and then you mentioned it in the video, and i find it amazing. It's really hard to know about something and ignore it for the sake of the enjoyment. People often forget about enjoying and focus on pure critique, and become cynic just because they know how it's done (and im talking about all aspects of life, or at least art, and not only singing). It's easy to find people saying nice things about good artists and easier to find critique on technical aspects of what is done, but having the capability to enjoy the art, and then give commentary about it, it's rare, and i appreciate it.
    I'll be subscribing now, not because you said some nice things about the music I like, but because of the pure joy on your face AND the comment on how you turn off the teacher in you.

    Marko is the soul of Nightwish. I couldn't imagine the band without him.
    I don't think they would have made it work with three completely different singers if it wasn't for him. The man is like a monolith standing at the center of the tempest anchoring the whole ship.
    I never did hear how he joined the band. Anyone got the story?

    • @williamhall9524

    @kagekenturo Před 3 lety +3

    Some great Marco songs or Marco involved songs I think you would enjoy
    Nightwish -kiss while your lips are still red
    Delaine -the gathering-sing to me-control the storm-(he has done atleast 10 or so tracks with Delaine across atleast 3 of their albums)
    Marco himself check out his entire solo album pyre of the black heart my three favs are -isani aani/my father's voice- livia/stones- tahti,hiekka ja varjo/ star sand and shadow- I gave both finnish and English because honestly the whole album is good in either language so it's is definitely worth a listen in both finnish and English though there are some changes here and there between the two I hope you enjoy them and hope to see further reactions and that this little list gives you more options for Marco and another very good band Delaine

    thank you for this reaction, I really enjoyed it. 😊 it's one of my favorite Nightwish songs, especially this version, because I always love when it's Marko's turn. there are already other comments with some great recommendations like "when your lips are still red", "phantom of the opera with Tarja", "high hopes" (all three with Marko) and "Shoemaker" (an amazing Floor). in Shoemaker you can also hear the third voice of the band (Troy, the guy on the low whistle). I think you really would enjoy those.
    the video quality is fine by the way. I have a clear view of facial expressions, which I love 😁, and the sound is great. so no need to change it in my opinion.
