It is Marko. Haha. You should check out Marko singing in their High Hopes (Pink Floyd) cover. I think it’s the same concert.
It is???? That's crazy. Looks sooo different.
Their first basist, Sami Vänskä, looks pretty similar to boot. Long blond hair, just lacks the beard.
yesss, their cover of High Hopes is amazing
Oh yes please do react to high hopes! Amazing cover!
@@ChaseCarneson Is the lack of mustache probably, really changes his face. Beard shorter also.
'They both should be celebrated' Exactly, I love both singers, why cannot anyone else?
I think most can.
Because Tarjaholics pledge undying loyalty to Tarja. They get offended that other people don't prefer Tarja over every other singer. But they're especially triggered by people that love Nightwish without Tarja.
Annette on Amaranthe caught my attention, Imaginarium hooked me. Tarja in Phantom and Planet Hell reeled my in. Wacken 2013 landed me like fat Tuna.
I agree, and I haven't forgotten about Anette either. All three of them have their own qualities. Without any of them : No Nightwish.
I really do like both of them. Yes, I like the interpretations of one of them more, but that doesn't mean, I want to belittle the other one. For me it is that incredible ability of Floor, to colour up the vocals with bucket loads of emotion, that makes me prefer her.
This concert to me, it's as iconic to Tarja as 2013 Wacken was to Floor. They really gave it their all in this, I've heard and watched both concerts so much. You can't go wrong with any performance of theirs in this one, everything is great.
I really wish that Anette had a concert like this! :(
thats only because less good live video footage pre 2013!
Hey, Chase. Tarja is amazing, isn't she. I'm coming to appreciate and admire her more and more. She's an extremely charismatic performer and singer. At first, I was so enthralled by Floor that I didn't want to know about anyone else. But now I dig Tarja a lot. Hell, I even love Anette.
Wishmaster is a great song, performed flawlessly by the amazing Tarja, and the band, of course. PS:
Tuomas' music keeps him young.
Loved your analysis, as usual. Peace, my brother. Greetings from the 🇺🇸
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 happy 4th, be safe my friend.
@@ChaseCarneson Thanx, Chase, appreciate that. Take care. :)
I love Tarja's voice! Thank you very much ❤ Fun fact: Tarja was sick in this Concert. She had flue or something like that in her throat. Nightwish has 9 studio albuns: 5 with Tarja, 2 with Anette, and 2 with Floor. So, there is a lot of Tarja stuff for you to know, if you decide to know Nightwish's works. A lot of the old songs are sung by Floor nowadays, but in a diferent versions. Floor and Tarja are amazing, but they have diferent voices, so the band needed to do some adaptations. The music with Tarja used to explore more choirs as you noticed. The original "Ghost love score", for example, emphasized the choirs and the orchestra. It didn't have the same ending like you can watch with Floor. They are diferent versions, but equaly good. From Tarja's era I suggest any music from the concert "End of an Era" or "From wishes to eternity". To the next steps, It would be nice if you reacted to "Phantom of the Opera" and "Slaying the dreamer", both from "End of an Era". Thank you very much!
I am so glad you did not open the can of worms by comparing the ladies. They do, all three of them, deserve there own spotlight.
Friendly comment: I´m still waiting for Anette to convince me. As an old Nightwish fan, it really hurt when they did that change, Anette was so different, so pop even.
@@bygoneegowaitingremoval As you might have noticed, for some reason my comment was marked, meaning someone already took offence by it. Although I can't seem to find an explanation for that I am trying to stay as friendly as I possibly can. Having that said : I must admit that Anette was my least favorite as well, but I do try to keep in mind that she had some very big shoes to fill and we didn't want to see Tarja leave. I wonder what would have happened if it would have been Floor after Tarja in stead of Anette. Would we still like Floor so much?
@@bygoneegowaitingremoval "Slow Love Slow" with Annette Live Montreux 2012 - she was really "getting it together"........
@@bygoneegowaitingremoval I usually wouldn't respond, but you look genuinely open to suggestions.
My recommendation is to look less at Anette's vocal techniques and more at her ability to play a character in Scaretale and Slow Love Slow. Listen to her be a folk storyteller in Turn Loose or Meadows of Heaven or even the backing vocals in The Islander.
I think next to the other two, people are looking for vocal technical ability but consider that for Tuomas' work what they really need to be able to do is take the role of a character as if it's musical theatre.
@@ari-etta it´s true that I can´t know now what my reaction would have been, but I love Floor more than Tarja not because of her voice (each of them has their own style) but because Floor delivers more perform-wise in my opinion, on stage her presence it´s more captivating than Tarja. That said, I would probably have had fewer problems with a change to Floor directly from Tarja.
A portent of a song like they don't have anymore and that showcases Tarja's singing mastery. She does it like it's nothing and while with the flu. They were blessed to have this woman singing for them.
if i had her on my team , i would bend over even more than Tuomas did during that performance of everdream, just to meet her most basic vocal and overall health needs ... can't imagine someone as special as she, having to beg for every scrap
this, end of era concert was the greatest show on earth...superb with its vocal energy, perfectly blending with the reverberating symphonic elements
Try Phantom of the Opera with Tarja and Marko...looks like the same concert as well!!
Yes, same show. And she's wearing that beautiful yellow dress to match the mic.
Yes it is the same show. The last show of the End of an Era Tour.
I'm always surprised at how everyone seems to want that one, when that was the main point of contention that finalized the 'yep, that's it, we're giving her the letter'. She is so in and out of time with the rest of the band in that particular concert on that piece. And you can tell how hard Marco and everyone is trying to adjust and bring it back in throughout the whole piece.
It's Nightwish, so it's not that big of a deal I guess, but for those of us with a sensitive ear it is so grinding compared to everything else they did, and have done since. Including with Tarja.
I just wish she would have kept going to rehearsals with the band. They would have kept in sync better not just on stage, but with each other.
I guess we wouldn't have discovered Floor, and she is indeed amazing and fun to listen to as well... you just miss what you grew up with. lol
@@MandrakeDCR .. out of sync with the rest of the..lol..she is utter perfection
@@xeleelex146
Afraid so. It's part of why I'm not a fan of the Tarja Era. She sounds like she's separating herself from the band. That and I just simply find her voice annoying.
So overall, Tarja sounds like someone dubbed her part into the performance.
The early Nightwish is a very different animal to what the band is now. It's a fantastic journey to listen to all albums chronologically as it showcases the evolution the band went through (and is still going through), different influences and references appearing in their works.
Love the ode to Iron Maiden at the end. Little things like that is what makes Nightwish so awesome.
Wasn't expecting them to quote The Trooper
Tarja's personality, character and incredible stage presence are far better displayed in her early power metal days with far clearer, more mezzo, reverberating, freely flowing timbre, anything "from wishes to eternity " concert is great , "pharaoh sails to orion" is superb
Amazing reaction! Thank you so much Chase!
Tarja Turunen was the original Nightwish vocalist for almost a decade, defining a big part of their sound with her classically infused vocal techniques which combined perfectly with Nightwish's inicial power metal and later symphonic metal sound, and also with Marco's vocals - it was a perfect match in every way!
The great thing is that Tarja has been having an amazing solo career in the last 15 years... Her voice is high, but also a full and really powerfull sound (and she always keeps on experimenting new things with her vocals, including a haunting dark and lower register she can belt out), plus having this theatrical presence on stage... I'm so glad you liked it!
As a sugestion, I'll leave you 2 links for some Amazing Live performances by Tarja Turunen in recent years:
1st - A very energetic Live version of "Victim of Ritual" (song composed by Tarja)... the crowd really goes wild at this one - from Woodstock festival: czcams.com/video/GxDnhbGTJSs/video.html
2nd - An unbeliavable version of "Supremacy" (a Muse cover) Live at Hellfest festival - very powerfull high notes: czcams.com/video/wmMBI_0X3oE/video.html
I hope you enjoy these ones as much as I do! Cheers!
that goes quadriple, for me
Awesome choices. Her chest voice is darker than most male metal singers... what a treat.
Love from The Philippines! Yes the Legendary Tarja Turunen the Mother of Operatic Metal.
Chase!..,Nightwish's initial signature sound was one of very complex power metal format with Tarja's much lower register, performing incredible operatic gymnastics and physical ones..."from wishes to eternity"concert is a perfect example of that
Would love to see your reaction and breakdown of song "Wish I Had An Angel" with Tarja, Marco also sings there so you get to hear younger Marco beast voice :D Also should check their "Phantom of the Opera" cover again them two singing and crushed it! Both songs are from same concert End of an Era like this one. Tarja also changed couple of dresses on this concert so it doesn't confuse you when looking at other videos :D
That's Marko 'the two-bearded Viking' Hietala 😂
Tarja's legacy with NW will never be forgotten. I came to appreciate her solo projects, especially one with Mike Terrana for Beauty & the Beat. I would love to see her do more crossover projects as her mystical, dark soprano would fit the neoclassical dark wave, avant garde or classical crossover genre, maybe collab with HAVASI or Yoshiki X-Japan.
Search for Stand Away, her Collab with Angra.
Her Soprano with Lione's Tenor, simply beautiful.
@ChaseCarneson like you, I am new to this wonderful world of Nightwish. I grew up a RUSH fan and am used to cerebral lyrics and masterful musicians, but I am blown away by the talents of this group. It is awesome to see someone who has a your background display an almost giddiness for the band. I know the feeling.
I do see some really common denominators and would love to hear more from you on this. First is Tuomas. His passion and pure genius to architect an epic sound whether it is a 4 minute or 20 minute song is almost hard to put into words. Second is Marko. I have seen Marko collaborate with Delain (Charlotte W), Exit Eden, Northern Kings, Anneke Van Giersbergen and the man just makes everyone better. I hate saying he is complementary because he has no issues by himself.
I saw you with Julia react to While Your Lips are Still Red and loved the amount of info and insight that you bring. Please keep up the great and it is great to meet another member of the Nightwish Army (Frisco, TX, USA).
The first time I've ever heard a song with Tarja. She has an amazing voice, for sure. It's like trying a "special food" for the first time...once you've tried it and loved it, you're always looking for the same thing elsewhere at different places. It's like that for me with Floor. When I first listened to Nightwish, she was the singer. She's my favorite although I do appreciate Tarja's talent!

This song actually has a very special and influential place in the band's history, as the song that unintentionally brought many fans into the fandom.
Way back in the early days of CZcams, an era of Linkin Park AMVs and dubious copyright controls, there was a misheard-lyrics video someone made called "Fishmaster" that you'll find many people quoting down in these comments. It was goofy and shareable, and left many thinking "lol what's this ridiculous foreign metal band doing trying to sing English"... but enough people (myself included) were intrigued by the cool music and looked for more Nightwish content.
You gotta understand, this was before labels like Nuclear Blast etc. had uploaded all their bands' music videos online at all, and literally the only way for most non-Europeans to be exposed to symphonic metal and such was to have it shared with them directly. Quite a few members of the Nightwish Army were initially roped in by Fishmaster/Wishmaster, and every time I hear it I get a nice wave of nostalgia. :-)
"Hamster... a dentist... hard porn, Steven Seagull..."
Great video! Listen to “The Siren” and “Walking in the air” with Tarja (life of course). They are really good as well. (Also not comparing the singers is a great idea, things could get really heated. Everyone has their favourite singer but every singer added to the legacy of Nightwish.)
Both Tarja and Floor are some of the best singers I have heard in my life, many my friends who fdont even listen metal normally still listen Nightwish, quality of their Live performances and overall music is just insane
Look floor is good but tarja is brutal ,powerful, the two more iconics songs are the phantom of the opera and wish master and tarja’s are espectacular !!! Out of this world , full of emotions , connections with the people , on the contrary to floor Jansen , she is a simple metal singer . Tarja is the goddess
Tuomas is a vampire that's why he doesn't age. Emmpu is a beast no matter how small he is. That epic Maiden's The Trooper riff always got me at the end.
Now Chase, can we talk about your merch?
Something coming verrrry soon. Hang in there 😉
@@ChaseCarneson 'Have a Damn Good Day' 😁👍
Funny you mentioned Tuomas is a vampire. He does look like Gary Oldman in Dracula lol. And yessss we want Chase's Have a Damn Good Day merch!!!
@@juliettemcgee9055 I thought you were kidding about this, so I went and looked up Gary Oldman's Dracula and it took me a couple moments to tell it was Oldman.
@@fjrichman That's why they called him Human Chameleon. He had about 4 or 5 different looks in that film.
No arguments about Tarja from me, she did a great job defining nightwish as the best symphonic metal band, all 3 singers deserve kudos for keeping nightwish at the top. Yep that was Marco. So thankyou Chase for this one see you in the next one.
her doing phantom of the opera with nightwish is still one of my favorite songs ever.
my friend, if you like this performance ( and she was going against doctor's orders having a throat infection and fever that night to avoid disappointing her fans), you must see her exquisite renderings in the "from wishes to eternity" concert, summerbreeze 2002, raumenmeri 2003, toronto, 2004, lowlands 2005 concerts to fully appreciate her enormous variety of vocal flavors
All the singers have fantastic qualities, I love all of them! And this is the song that introduced me to Nightwish, thank you for a great reaction! And yes, that's Marko :)
this was Tarjas last concert with Nightwish (Hartwall Areena, Helsinki, October 2005)
Great reaction! They all should be celebrate, dont forget Anette, she is wonderful as well, more poppy, but great. That entire show is, to me, at the level of Wacken 13. It was Tarja Last show, the open letter came after wards. You can see the sadness in the rest of the band members in the last song, I Wish I Had An Angel. Keep UP the Good work. And that was Marko, although they had another bassist.
Anette sounded live like a chipmunk.
Great reaction. Some other great songs with Tarja you should react to are The Siren, Planet Hell, Slaying the Dreamer, Sleeping sun, Dark Chest of Wonders.
I love many of the songs from this concert, but one I’ve never seen a reaction to and LOVE, is THE SIREN.
Chase , great analysis...thank you for the gift of Tarja...her perfection speaks for itself...for a true vocal banquet check out "from wishes to eternity" concert
Aaah, just like the good old days. Hamster! Appendix! Hard corn! Seven Seagulls! Warrior! This rifle in me, the fish master!
Walking in the air is THE Tarja song, together with Phantom of the opera, dead boys poem and sleeping sun ( and everdream tbh)
This was the first Nightwish song I heard years ago, after someone mentioned the name and I went exploring. I was instantly hooked by the opening of this song, the massive chordal, almost gothic opening. Still a favorite after all these years!
Tarja's astounding breath control comes from her 7 years of pro operatic training and countless efforts to adjust the strict practice to the metal setting...her early delivery was very dark, beautiful, reverberating mezzo voice that is so amazing
Well said!
@@ChaseCarneson .. much obliged for your kind words...if you'd like to hear a simple of her mezzo voice try this....czcams.com/video/6Acl6I8km3w/video.html ... czcams.com/video/q-VemLTvnE8/video.html .... be careful, though, she is quite addictive
It's been awhile since I saw a Tarja-era live video. They all look like toddlers!
Great reaction, as usual.
toddlers? Nah, look at From Wishes to Eternity... THEN you see toddlers.
@@naphackDT These are toddlers, *those* are infants
Awesome! They all look so young & Tarja is gorgeous:) her version of Nemo is killer, really suits her darker tone. Go Manchester United:0
Everyone seems to be praising the performances from the the End of an Era live show, but I prefer the From Wishes to Eternity concert. The whole vibe of that performance is just incredibly nostalgic for me and I think Tarja sounds much better there. Some of the standouts are Elvenpath, Dead Boy's Poem, Sacrament of Wilderness and Beauty & the Beast. I also prefer the performance of Wishmaster from that concert to this one.
I loooove the From Wishes to Eternity concert. Dead Boy's Poem, Swanheart, Walking in the Air....ah man, such a good show!
and the definitive power-metal sound with all of its wonderful complexities and of course, Tarja's magnificent timbre
more mezzo and raw power
Tarja and Floor are both phenomenal singers. It's so hard to compare the two. But with all the shit that happened with Nightwish and Tarja, Floor is absolutely perfect for Nightwish, my god! ❤
One of the best tarja song is "sleeping sun" . Super melodic
amen to that
the original though, not the re-recorded version with more contemporary vocals.
Yes it's so beautiful. I don't know which one is better Tarja's or Floor's version. Both are different but great.
Sleeping Sun, Away, Two for Tragedy, Dead Boy's Poem... I love the old, slower Nightwish songs
This song makes me so happy! Terrific analysis as always. I love the different vibes, so fun and interesting.
I... had forgotten how fun this song is! 👀
My heart has room for all the diamond humans of the world and I want all of them. I refuse to choose. 🙏
That is Marko...the younger version. Tuomas definitely has a Dorian Gray thing going on. Tarja sings on that operatic style pretty much all the time.
Came here to say that, this is 15 years old after all! 👍
Is all those babies his eating (Im joking)
Tarja has been adopting a contemporary style lately.
"Tarja sings on that operatic style pretty much all the time." And it sounds fucking *awesome*.
Well, her singing in that operatic style is what set this band apart from every metal band at that time. They were pretty much unique and this style put this band in the map too.
My personnal old-school Tarja top songs are Deep Silent Complete and Wanderlust. :)
You gotta do more tarja videos.
Marco joined to Nightwish in 2002 and his first appearance in official NW video was in "Bless the Child". He played in this concert as well at the of 39 years old (born in 1966).
It was very mature reaction on how you see the Nightwish singer past and present. Come to Toumas, without taking away his gifted talent in composing, I rather disappointed when comes to his mannerism in firing Tarja right after this awesome concert. His (including other members) character assassination of Tarja is still affecting how some Nightwish fans see Tarja and dismiss her contribution to the early Nightwish. Anyway, "10th man down" from Summer Breeze Festival 2002 is also very impressive of Tarja's performance.
so true..most people read Tuomas's letter and immediately brand Tarja as a greedy diva when in fact nothing is further from the truth...
"Whenever will I not be impressed by this man?" Assuming you mean Tuomas the answer is easy: never.
@Phelan that in it self can leave an impression... impressed by itself is neutral :)
If you want to see how much fun they have on stage: Watch Empuu pranking Floor onstage watch Wacken 2013 I Want My Tears Back. At about 45 secs you can see Empuu talking to Troy telling him what he is going to do. At about 4:00 you see Empuu go behind Floor and turn down the volume or turn off her in-ear monitor. Then she reaches behind her. The funniest part is at about 4:30 when Empuu crosses the stage again. Floor turns around to watch him so he can’t do it again. Here you see the height difference between Floor’s 6’1” in heels and Empuu’s 5’3”. They laugh at each other.
If you than have a look at Ghostriver from Wacken you’ll see Emppu passing Floor with his hands up and waving: See, I am doing nothing ;-)
I just went to that video to see it, and I cannot stop laughing
actually, Chase, you should know that for the first 6 years of their existence, their signature sound was one of power metal type, found in "from wishes to eternity", than it transitioned into a more mainstream metal such as "summerbreeze fest. of 2002 and Raumenmari 2003" and then by their last tour, it became symphonic in nature, with Tarja using chiefly , her superb head voice
Big fan of this song...and yeah it is Marko 😁
I love the intro but after they are off....ow boy 🤪 Tarja is really delivering this song imo...
A nice touch the color of the mic 💪
Thanks Chase lovely and Good reaction...always a pleasure 🤘
Would be great if you also did the Phantom of the Opera from the same concert - it’s unforgettable and Marco’s vocals - not to mention Tarja’s - are amazing. And then looking fwd to your jaw dropping moments with The Greatest Show on Earth - it’s a masterpiece 😃
This is the first reaction channel I’ve ever subbed. Can’t wait for you to do the greatest show on earth. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for supporting and welcome to the team.
To answer your question about roster changes: They booted their first bassist, Sami, somewhere in between the "From Wishes to Eternity" live recording and the Century Child album, which was when Marco joined the band.
Then, of course, they kicked out Tarja after the aptly named "End of an Era" live recording. She was replaced by Anette Olzon, who received a mixed reception from the fans. A big plus side was that you could for once clearly understand the lyrics, a big negative was that all the operatic elements were gone. After some complications during the Imaginaerum tour, Nightwish had to rush in Floor as a stand-in for Anette. Soon after, Floor became the new vocalist and Troy was added as a permanent member of the band. Since Jukka, the drummer's insomnia kept getting worse, Kai stood in for him, some years later the decision was made for Jukka to permanently quit drumming and become a manager for the band instead.
To be fair, you can understand the lyrics in this version much better than in the album version :)
call me crazy, but I miss Jukka more than Tarja. Kai is crazy good, but Jukka... just had that presence and style. Ah well, his health for sure comes first!
Well, the 'End of an Era' was named after Tarja was expelled. So it was aptly named of course knowing her era was over, no prescience there :)
Anette was sacked because she was pregnant
@@bishopsteiner7134 Kai is a great drummer, but I don't necessarily think he's a great drummer for Nightwish. Jukka brought a great deal of energy to the songs that just seems lacking with Kai. Kai also has some head scratchingly bad drum choices, like the toms he uses for the intro to Ghost Love Score that sound like somebody bouncing a basketball in an empty gymnasium.
I love her!!!
actually, this symphonic sound was their 3rd..Tuomas formed Nightwish with Emppu and Tarja to best showcase her magnificent classical mezzo delivery featured most effectively by the "from wishes to eternity" concert, then graduated to more pure metal sound in "summerbreeze 2002" concert and then finally this concert of a much more symphonic metal nature..Ghost Love Score from this concert is a prime example
She was also sick extremely during this show! That's why she's really breathy but still was outstanding
At some point you need to watch this entire show. It's fantastic !!
It's always fun and nostalgic for me to revisit Tarja. My favorite live show with her is their From Wishes to Eternity concert. If you get the chance, you really should check out their performance of Pharaoh Sails to Orion from that show. Such a great example of early Nightwish
Thanks for the reaction, I love the bass lines during this song, so fast and following the drums beats. Incredible work by all the band here.
Tarja!!!! 😍😍😍
indeed
Nice reaction and break down. There are other very cool songs with Tarja from the same show. "Phantom of the Opera", "Planet Hell", "Slaying the Dreamer" and "The Siren" are solid choices. Cheers!
This was the ROCK you were looking for!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!
Joy in all hearts! So much smiles in this videos!
Did you catch the ending musical shout out to Iron Maiden's "The Trooper". Great reaction and analysis to this one. That was Marco! He joined Nightwish in 2003. This video was from 2005. See you next time. Great job Chase!
YEah, Chase, do you listen to Iron Maiden? If not, then we can think of some songs for you to react. I´m sure you have heard some, but if you don´t know them well, then we have homework for you hehe. Keep the good videos.
i heard this right away and was like "nice iron maiden nod!" :D
Indeed.. I don't think he noticed, or he doesn't know the song
Hahaha yeeees, I never heared this live, they got me xD
Amazing reaction and analysis as always :) I do really enjoy your videos!
If you want to check out their second singer, Anette, I honestly recommend album versions instead of live performances. Her album stuff is much better. Meadows of Heaven would be a cool reaction to see. If you want to see Tarja and Marko singing together, Phantom of the Opera is great.
Tarjas last concert whit NW. .. (Phantom) and Marko in Pink Floyd cover "High Hopes" !!
This concert was 2005 so they are quite young here. Tarjas last concert with Nightwish, what happen after this ended up as the great song The Poet And The Pendulum. This was Marko he joined the band a few years before this, or was it 2000! Check out Sleeping Sun from this concert or just everything, it's amazing.
Marco joined in 2002
Great reaction man, as always.
I gotta say, actually I gotta ask you, if you are gonna make another Tarja NW reaction, do on two songs (one is a prelude to another, so u should find them in one video), which is Stone People + Creek Mary's Blood, from the same concert as this Wishmaster (called End of an Era *last concert with Tarja on the vocals*)... It's just wonderful.
Every time I'm listening to Wishmaster and the song ends "WOOOOOOOOO!!!, LET'S GO!!" gets me so hyped!
Usually it should be Phantom of The Opera but that concert was a masterpiece, any song was a good choice.
You should do more Nightwish with Tarja. Phantom of the Opera (with lots of Marco), The Kinslayer, Planet Hell, etc. All from End of an Era concert.
Am I crazy or does the ending guitar bit sound just like The Trooper by Iron Maiden? I have watched this show dozens of times and only just now noticed it. Also another vote for Phantom of the Opera with Tarja. Their duo with Marko there is outstanding. Loving your reactions man, keep it up!
Oh man, i was in my teens back then... I had the biggest crush on Tarja... understandable isn't it? She has such a great presence on stage.
And now in my thirties me and my wife have a huge crush on Floor. Both are great and have a very large and permanent place in my heart. Nightwish is simply a part of the soundtrack of my life.
Hi Chase, once again the most detailed reaction. You pick up on not only the vocals but every instrument! You have such a great ear for this! It was Marko! I would still recommend : She is my sin (2003) Also, Kinslayer, Gethsemane, Passion and the Opera. She and Marco are stars in the Phantom of the Opera but of course is this cover with a Nightwish twist. There is more but I am sure you will get to it. One by one!
Tarja ❤
Obviously captain Jack Sparrow managed to find the fountain of youth. Now he plays for Nightwish.
He just traded the pirate hat for a top hat
Watched 3 reactions in a row, as "we" do, and you're still on point. Possibly the best break down of songs I've seen in a while. Very impressed, pls keep it going.
I discovered this band with this song many years ago and I instantly like this style.
I suggest you too ear "Paradise" from "Within temptation" feat with Tarja just for see two incredible singer together. And of course I recommend "Within temptation", "Angels" or "Stand my ground' could be a good start.
Thanks for you job !
Many dont know Nightwish was formed by Tuomas, Tarja and Emppu in highschool 1996! There is some old videos to be found from those days on CZcams ;-)
very good to say early,this is not competition about tarja and floor,good react chase like always. have great day there mr carneson,always huge joy to looking your react. ps. i think tuomas is vampire? ;) oooh and nightwish almoust get eurovision contest to sleepwalker song. what is good song also. people vote that song but jury voted other song to there. i think nightwish was should win that contest that song for sure if get elected ,like lordi do in later song rockn roll halleluja.
Hamster, a Dentist, Hardp0rn, Steven Seagull, Warrior, His rifle, In me, The Fishmaster ;)
Maiden elf calling with her cunning soap!
😂 once you've heard the missheard lyrics this song is never the same again.
"Temba, his arms wide"
"Staring into the Nile" Thx Keven
Well great, Steve Segall is gonna haunt this song forever. You've made my day man!
Can we also just appreciate that the closing is the opening notes of The Trooper by Iron Maiden? Super cool. First this, then Metallica in The Greatest Show on Earth? Love it. Gotta love nods to other musicians.
Marco he is of course...as he has been since Century Child album - awesome bass player and male vocalist. Tarja's impact is not less than fundamental to the sound and voice of Nightwish. She founded this band with Tuomas and Emppu. They made it great, special and world famous on five albums together as that group. Later came replacement singers to copy the sound, adopt already created basics and to modify it for themselves to fit better.
No, that's Marco! This show was 2005, so it's been a minute. But for sure, it looks like the majority have hardly aged at all. #vampirestatus. If you ever react to any songs from the From Wishes to Eternity show, THAT'S where they have their first bassist, Sami Vänskä. I love that you're reacting to Nightwish with the OG, Tarja! It makes me so nostalgic. I own this show on DVD (if that doesnt date me, idk what would), and honestly this makes me want to go back and rewatch it in its entirety. I'm sure you've heard already, but this is a special show as it was the last one with Tarja and they sent the open letter afterwards. My own NW journey began only in 2004, so I only had a year with Tarja, but I do love listening to her solo stuff and honestly I feel like she found herself in her solo career. You should check out her stuff! Her album after the breakup was "My Winter Storm" and the song "I Walk Alone" really made me think about how she came out of the split and how it impacted her personally and professionally.
Greatest Show On Eaaaaaaaaarth, I'm literally on pins and needles here! I cannot wait for you to listen to it, and sit with it a little before possibly listening to their new album. Haha, it'll be so worth it when you get to TGSOE, though. Thanks so much for this reaction! Definitely appreciate the great, thoughtful content.
Stay safe, have a damn good day too!
Tarja & Marko kiitos.
If you are interested in the old nightwish version check out their from wishes to eternity DVD (all songs are here in CZcams). Terrific performance of the original line-up. End of an era is also good, but with a different bassist (Marko, and Tarja was sick during this performance, including this wish master version)
Wishmaster is one of THE songs of Tarja and it was one of their main songs, hits if you wanna call it like that, back in the early 2000s.
Awesome review I think you might be ready for the Greatest Show On Earth live at Tampere looking forward to it subscribed after watching this one.
You are one of those great people who helped to make 2020 actually in a way to quite a awesome year. I know how controversial that statement is but I learned to know a lot of content makers who gave me a lot of knowledge. I hope you are doing well Chase but if for any reason you aren't I wish it makes your day better to know that these videos make mine a whole lot better.
Stay awesome buddy you are amazing.
Chase! How old are you man?! When in your life did you have the time to acquire so much musical knowledge that allows you all these intricate observations on a first listen?! I absolutely love your reactions and I have to say that you are probably one of the very few reactors that brings me to watch a Nightwish w/ Tarja reaction!! Not because I don’t like Tarja’s era, but because that era was my first real true love in Music and going back to it brings back a sadness that I will never overcome! That said, I do not wish for a second that Tarja would be back in the band! Floor is irreplaceable!
Ironically, this is from the End of an Era DVD. This was the night the band gave the letter to Tarja, letting go.
I personally think all Nightwish singers r very good in their own way.. They all have different styles n Tuomas is able to write songs for each of them n sound really good. He is indeed a Wizard of Music.
I would love to hear your input on The Siren or Slaying the Dreamer from the same DVD.
Sounds fun!
My favorite is "10th man down", my number 2 is "Wishmaster".
I love every singer Nightwish has had pretty much equally, but there are certain songs that each singer absolutely made their own, and Wishmaster is one for Tarja. She stamped a permanent mark on this one.
Yes, they did have another Bassist, Sami Vanska, but that is Marco. (If you want to see Sami in action, you can watch this same song from the "From Wishes to Eternity" (2001) which is from before Sami was dismissed for being a fuckup.)
I've been listening to NW for 20 years, I've been lucky enough to see Tarja, Anette and Floor live. I'm a huge fan of Tarja, but I must say, I'm not entirely sold on her late live performances with NW. I think I remember reading an interview where she said she tried to switch her style a little and sound less operatic and mix a bit of rock in her style. I much prefered how she sang live before Once/End of an Era. She was so much more emotional, she gave me such goosebumps back in the day, the way Floor does it now (of course, it's just my personal opinion !). Just listen to the Beauty and the Beast with Tony Kakko live in 2001.
Anyway, thanks for another great video and great analysis, your channel is a gem. Would love to see you tackle Muse one day. Maybe Butterflies and Hurricanes live at Wembley ? I would love to hear what you have to say about it !
Thanks for mentioning that guest performance by Tony! I love Sonata Arctica and had never known they did some songs together.
Yes, she changed her vocal approach. posted this in one of Chase Carneson's other reactions:
--------
Tarja era, nearly 20 Years ago, before she studied at the Karlsruhe conservatory and changed her vocal approach - more details in the footnote.
Before "End of An Era", there was "From Wishes to Eternity"
Wishmaster, Kingslayer, and Fantasmic (p3) are my favourites from that show ("From Wishes to Eternity") - czcams.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst1PSoDwmydmmSLm5NQdBVlM.html
Fantasmic (p3) has strong stage presence from Tarja and yes, that is Tuomas jumping off his keyboard to headbang with Tarja :-)

"From Wishes to Eternity" has Sami Vanska on bass guitar, not Marco Hietala.

"Definitely check out From Wishes to Eternity. That recording is particularly noteworthy for being the last quality recording showing the approach Tarja used to take to vocals before she studied at the Karlsruhe conservatory. At the Karlsruhe she was trained in fully traditional classical singing technique, which for a soprano means using head voice most of the time, chest voice occasionally, and a mixed voice pretty much never."
"From when Nightwish started to when she entered the Karlsruhe, Tarja used to predominantly sing in mixed voice rather than using head voice almost exclusively. Her older vocal approach has a lot of low down oomph that you can't get singing exclusively in head voice. On the other hand, Tarja has excellent head resonance and you get to hear more of that resonance in her later work."
@@normanmapson1459 I thought I remembered that. And yes, From Wishes to Eternity is one of my favorite live ever. A shame this is the only nice recording of them at the time, but at least we have one. We could have had none !
Same here, old fan as well. I definitely preferred Tarja's 'old sound' -- the shift to more contemporary singing style didn't quite come naturally to her and she unfortunately didn't really get a hang of it IMO until after her time in Nightwish.
@@HawkNButterfly that´s why I recommended Fantasmic Mic, if I remember correctly, it´s from that DVD. Tarja was amazing, but as with Michael Kiske, their live persona isn´t as great as Floor. They never had that kind of presence on the stage.
I like how you noted her yellow mic, she matched it to the outfit she was wearing earlier in the show :) you should def watch this whole show, I think it’s their best live show, but also sad as it was as they broke up with Tarja.
Matches her under skirt as well. She had 5 outfits and mics. Red, white, yellow and black. Love that Lady.
