    For me, this is just the second best example, of Marco's vocals.
    Nightwish did a tribute to "High Hopes", from Pink Floyd. Only the four boys (this was before Troy and Floor, and Tarja did a costume change) and they kill that one so good.
    A must watch, definitely...

He also took on the style of the deranged Character like no other. Marco is a beast. I still have a small sliver of hope that he will return some day.

    The missing subtitles: "If I play the chorus, you will sing along? You will? OK, then we'll do it!" There's many ways of translating it, given to me by a Finnish speaker.
    (Edit) I can only think of two reasons for Marko using the very heavy and hugely expensive Warwick/Framus Infinity/Panthera, first as it's set up with a piezo pick up in the bridge to sound like an acoustic and second, the song before or coming after needed it for a six string passage. Being Tampere that could well be "Weak Fantasy", I do not know where these came in that set list.

    Marco was one of the most skilled in Nightwish. Playing piano, drums, guitar and bass at a high level.
    The bass is his own signature made by Warwick with a Framus guitar, which is the guitar division.
    Devin Townsend got his made there.
    The double neck is used in "My walden", "dead boys poem" etc.

      He is also trained as a sound engineer and built his own professional home studio (helped Tuomas create Nightwish song demos), he also has the post production credit for Wacken 2013 concert sound editing.
      Btw, he won the Finland Masked singer completion in 2020(?). They did not guess who he was, singing all kinds of stuff including Elton John.
      In a documentary, someone commented that when he is in the studio "Marco is always singing".

I feel this is why their music rises above others, they share to make the whole even grreater.

  • @sirenasummers2599
    @sirenasummers2599 Před 2 lety +27

    He uses the double neck because weak fantasy uses both the acoustic and bass. Marco started training in classic guitar when he was 15 so yeah he is defiantly a guitarist. Marco also has some vocal damage after botched surgery for a node on his vocal cords in the late 90's.

    • @darpompie4354
      @darpompie4354 Před 2 lety +1

      I think what David means is why didn't he switch instruments between songs. Marco actually does switch out many times between other songs from double neck to base only. Why he didn't switch to just a guitar and then switch back to double neck for Weak Fantasy, I don't know. My guess is he liked how the guitar in the double neck was tuned for that particular song.

  • @paulriddle7818
    @paulriddle7818 Před 2 lety +16

    Marko wrote the music and the melody while Tuomas wrote the lyrics. Marko liked to fiddle around on an acoustic during downtime on the road and was playing with this melody and Tuomas heard it walking by in a hallway and stopped. And asked Marko if he could write something for it. And thankfully Marko said yes.

    Once again a really good video!
    Something about Marko. As a child, his first instrument was the guitar and it has remained important to him throughout his career as a musician. I understand he can also play the piano on some level, but maybe not on stage ...: D
    It’s really unfortunate that he left Nightwish. Nightwish lost bassist, singer and guitarist at the same time!
    Nightwish has a few songs where Marko switches to guitar for a while in the middle. Or in some songs, he starts with the guitar.
    If you end up watching their song "Weak Fantasy" from the Tampere concert in 2015, you will clearly see that exchange. In the middle of the song is the point where he plays the guitar, in the same position as in this video, with his right leg raised. Then there is a change in the song, where Marko drops his foot down and continues on the bass very smoothly. And start singing at the same time. That point is one of my favorite moments in that song. :)
    Marko often visits the albums of different bands. Now in 2021 he was a singer in three different songs. Swedish band Therion, who released their latest album in the very beginning of 2021. Then in the summer Marko was the guitarist of slide guitarist Mika Jaakkola's "Soita" as a guest singer and in the autumn as a guest singer of the Finnish band Waltari.
    Dutch band Delain used him as a guest singer on several of their albums. On the first album, Marko played bass as a session bassist!

And yes I'm aware of the surgery he had on his throat which just makes his vocal abilities all the more impressive

  • @als100
    @als100 Před 2 lety +6

    Great reaction! About the double-neck guitar, there are songs that he plays both bass and the "acoustic" guitar from that double-neck, like Dead Boy's Poem. This song doesn't have any bass on his part, but the tone from his double-neck guitar is probably unique enough for him to decide to use it on The Islander.
    And, please, I sincerely hope you don't listen to the hate radio from the minority of fanboys/fangirls... I sincerely love your reaction for being honest and go away from those "aaaaahhhhh", "oooohhhhh"s for views. Please, don't stop saying your mind. People that have more than two braincells will know that each song and each band hits you differently, and not every song is a 9-ish just because it's your favourite band (I was think you'd go for the 8.5-8.6 range... the 9.0 was a real surprise for me).
    Well, thank you again and keep rocking out!!!!

    oh yeah, another little tidbit since you were talking about the vocals and knowing where to go, I did read something from another commenter in another reaction that with what you said will probably make more sense than they explained then it does to me they said the reason at the end where Floor was laughing was because she had to quickly improvise at the end because he went higher then they rehearsed it if that makes sense. Oh, I'm told Troy's instrument is called a "low whistle".

  • @vedranb87

    I think Marko just loves that double neck, it's visually striking on stage, lends itself to a bit of a steampunk vibe, and I guess he's making his life a bit easier by not setting himself up for an instrument change between the songs.
    And I ABSOLUTELY love the SOUND he's getting from that guitar. I know most of it is in the cabinets and the speakers, but it definitely sounds how it looks.

    @mattilindstrom Před 2 lety +5

    Am I the first person on this forum to give you this: Marco is the only human on this planet with a right to have a bumper sticker "Floor is my back-up singer". For what it's worth my take on Marco's voice, it's bluesy. With his tendency of getting the full front-of-the-face bright sound to getting downright nasal, he puts a spin on the lyrics.
    And the double-neck, he's using both throughout the show. It's relatively light, of carbon fiber if I'm not mistaken. As Warwick bought Framus, they have all the skill to manufacture a great instrument.

    What you call as „thin tone or pinch „ in some spots is what the good vocal coaches and trained singers call as a bit nasal tone . They figure he knows how to control his voice and this tone is purposeful.. I think you nailed it with your description as a non vocal coach and just by your knowledge of music.

    Fun fact is that Marco wrote the music for the song, not Tuomas. And you are right, the slightly pinched quality in Marco's vocals is what makes his vocals stand out, especially in this song. Unlike other vocalists that have a pinched quality, he knows how to use it without sounding bad and without damaging his voice. Another fun fact is that Marco studied classical guitar (and vocals) in high school, and this performances shows off that talent very well.

    Thank you Home Gnome! Great taste my friend. Hope you feel better very soon David! Marko is a bassist, but he also has some classical guitar training. Marko loves to play those folk/camp fire style songs. Marko uses this double neck for 4 songs in the middle of the set. On 2 of the 4 he plays guitar and bass. Then he switches to his standard bass. This is a little slow down in the middle of the set. It also gives Emppu a chance to take a break and slam a bear or two. It give Floor a little breather as well. Marko is a rock singer. His biggest influence is Ronnie James Dio. Unfortunately several years ago Marko went through a throat surgery. He claimed that he lost some of his high end and needed to learn to sing all over again. Merry Christmas David!

    Many have described Markos voice quality in this piece as forward or nasal. ..."pinched" is just another adjective to describe a "subjective" experience. ( albeit one that can have negative conotations) When Marko goes for either a nasal or forward placement it is a choice, you can agree or disagree ( like it, not like it, find it annoying, find it pleasurable ..whatever) but make no mistake...he is talented and practiced and makes some very interesting choices concerning his vocals.

    Nice reaction, again David. I don't think you'll get much hate for commenting on Marco's vocals and I'd be disappointed if that were the case. Marco has a great voice but you're right, it is quite different and I think you use the right word when you described it as endearing. Also, I love the way that Floor is able to give him so much 'space'. She is so controlled.

  • @alextol9950
    @alextol9950 Před 2 lety

    There are a number of songs where Marco switches halfway through the song from bass to guitar and back again. So him having it here in this part of the concert means that those songs are likely to come up shortly.
    This is one of the few songs not written by Tuomas but by Marco.

    Yeah this song is off their Poet and the Pendulum record just after the firing of Tarja from the band. It tore Toumas up to give her the letter to that effect. The other song that really shows off Maro's pipes is While your lips are still red. That song was part of a movie soundtrack that Toumas wrote.

    @snakewhisperer1 Před 2 lety +1

    You're absolutely right, David. I own a couple of basses, and I can play them. But I certainly don't consider myself a bass player. My bass player plays circles around me on bass. Usually, when I see a bassist play guitar, they approach it too heavy handed when you want to have a relaxed finesse. That's not to say a good bassist isn't relaxed when he/she plays bass. But it just a different animal. You just get used to how it feels after years of playing a particular instrument. But it's very clear that Marco has mastered both. As to the double neck question. Maybe it's just a cool instrument? We do a song where I play 12-string electric, but I use a doubleneck because I don't own a dedicated electric 12-string. I justify that as we go into a Zepplin medley afterwards. But who knows? I saw an earlier comment that said that particular instrument of his is equipped with a piezo pickup? That could be it. Great reaction, by the way.

  • @crusader1033

  • @kerrismith5986
    @kerrismith5986 Před 2 lety +3

    Re the double guitar. I think I'm right in saying that this piece is the only one in which Marco only uses the (acoustic) guitar half. There are a few Nightwish songs in which Marco will use both and a double neck is obviously easier than belting backstage to change guitars and then (likely) having to do it again in one song. Because this is the only purely acoustic guitar song, it doesn't make sense for Marco to have a separate guitar for just the one piece. ((chuckling)) So says my logic!!!
    On another tack ....... please take care of your health, young man!! Take time off if you need to and get yourself better again. Best wishes to you.

    I love the very singular slightly pinched sound Marco has.

No one else sounds just like him, not even his Tarot bandmate Tuple Salmela who has a very similar sound at times.

    I almost forgot! Marko’s singing.. he has modeled his singing after another great rock/metal singer: the late Ronnie James Dio. In some songs, especially off of Marko’s solo album, you could easily swap out Marko for Dio and it would sound the same. He’s that good.

      Why the semiquotes? A low whistle is very much a flute... the rough taxonomy is woodwinds > flutes > fipple flutes > tinwhistles/pennywhistles > low whistle. The side-blown chromatic concert flute isn't the only thing rightly called a flute.
