Want more of Marco? "The Islander" live at Tampere and the Pink Floyd cover "High Hopes" Want more of Troy? "The greatest Show on Earth" live at Tampere and the acoustic versions of "How's the Heart" and "Nemo"
This is a really old (and good) song. Tuomas wrote it when he was in high-school and he got into trouble with his English teacher because she saw the lyrics and thought it was devil-worship.
Consider also that when Marko is singing, he's also furiously strumming 'n' picking the bass plus throwing in a little musical theatre acting.- and he's still overshadowed by Floor. Mind blowing when you think about. The other thing to think about - Floor will frequently and happily drop into a backing role for Marko and occasionally Troy as well. So not only does Nightwish have this embarrassment of riches, Tuomas can move them around like vocal chess pieces and they're all happy to do it. If anyone doubts this, just watch Floor at Tampere applaud Marko after his "Islander" solo, with a huge grin on her face. She dropped into fangirl mode while watching him perform. How many lead singers out there will enthusiastically cheer on and sing backing for their backing vocalist's solo?
I love the sneaky look when Marko can hear the first signs of the rest of the band joining him at The Islander, followed by that bright smile when they kick into gear, such a great 'my friends are back' moment showing how tight the band is
@@brennieb78 Exactly, that smile said more about the band than a pile of press releases. And then Floor leads the crowd in applauding him as he walks back. These relationships, plus the genius of Tuomas, is the elixir that makes this band great.
They feel like a super group that wasn’t put together with that goal in mind. They are all just so talented and they all bring so much to the table. Nobody tries to outdo anyone, they just fit together perfectly.
This is probably one of the HARDEST NW songs to perform live - they never had it in the set when Annete was part of the band. But Floor does the song justice. The woman is an absolute goddess / Valkyrie
Wow dude keep up with those tank facts. That is unique and brilliant. I actually learn stuff while being entertained and sahring great music. phenomenal. You sir, are the Marko of react channels. And Chase could maybe be Floor XD
Marco is ridiculously good and talented. He does everything and he is always busy. Aside from Nightwish, he is/was in other projects such as Tarot and Northern Kings, did guest vocals on too many songs to count, and recently started solo work as well. Fun fact, he was also doing vocal production on 5 Amorphis albums. If you want more Marco in your life, he does lead vocals on "The Islander" and "While Your Lips Are Still Red". Alternatively, you can check out his collaborations with Delain, a dutch band with female vocalist Charlotte Wessels. Three options here: "Nothing Left", "The Gathering" and "Sing to Me".
Lets be fair, Nightwish doesn't have a bad musician in it. Everyone always mention Floor as being amazing, but to her credit she always says its the band, not just her.
Sinvare True, Nightwish is pretty much a super group. I mean, they have Kai from Wintersun on drums, Marco from Tarot - who pretty much started the finnish metal wave - on bass!
PageMonster additional fact: Irene is a pretty damn good singer in her own right. They (she and Floor) share the stage regularly, in Floors old band After Forever, but also with Ayreon, for example.
If you want to do a Marko (yes it is with a “k” not a “c”, that something commercial blahblah for the past), check out Nightwish - High Hopes (End of an Era (yes a Pink Floyd cover, but 1 of the best)).
Floor is one of those special special performers who leaves you stunned and surprised no matter how long you’ve been listening to her or how good you know she is... she so good that it still catches you off guard, also she can do anything and everything with her voice so she’ll hit you with something you weren’t expecting just to remind you “yes I’m THAT good” lol she’s incredible
Said it before, will say it 1000 times again. Marko is The Official Metal Voice of Finland. For more Marko try The Islander, live in Tampere, Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red, live in Wembley.
@@composerspineyard8854 Sure, and Tarot - I Walk Forever. Then there is his incredible performances from Raskasta Joulua tour and all the guest appearances with another bands. The list is endless.
Yeah, this song is a grower. It's kinda abrasive the first time you hear it, cause it's so far away from what you're used to from them and it has all these weird abrupt starts and stops, but the more you listen to it the more you understand what's actually going on here and how it all this rough chaos fits together and it becomes one heck of a ride.
There's still alot of Marco that awaits. There's 'Endlessness' from their newest album in which Marco is lead singer, 'The Islander' in which Marco is also lead singer (for this song check out the Tampere 2015 live version), next we've got 'High Hopes', a Pink Floyd cover, played in 2006 on their live DVD 'End of an Era' and IMO the best showcase of Marco's singing ability AND as a little bonus, an amazing Emmpu guitar solo, next up is 'While Your Lips Are Still Red', best to watch the Wembley 2015 live version and last but not least there's his solo album 'Pyre of ther Black Heart'. Now, here are two Nightwish songs that are 100% necessary to watch 'The Poet and the Pendulum' (Wembley 2015) and 'The Greatest Show on Earth' (Tampere 2015)
Nightwish fans love Marko's voice since he joined the band. I never heard of him being overshadowed by anyone. In contrary, the duets now with Floor really shine. With Tarja I felt the contrast between his raw male rocky voice and her softer female operatic voice was a cool thing. But for me they never really mached when they sang together (I never liked "I wish I had an angel" with her for example). For the duets with Annette he had to take back his power for not overshadowing HER too much.
Everybody talk about the female singers of Nightwish. Personally, I can't choose between Floor and Tarja, I love both, and I respect Annette. But you have a good point; Marko is underrated. He is really a good singer and, since he has been with the three female vocalists, he has been able to suit his voice to all of them.
Yes, Marko is using a Warwick bass, and he also has a custom made double-neck with Warwick bass and Framus lead strings, and he is using Warwick amps and cabinettes. Don't know if you thought about it but Marko doesn't look down on the fretboard all that much when he is playing. I wouldn't say that Marko is underrated as a singer, those of us who have seen and heard more of him - I can assure you that we are not underrating him as a singer. I would prefere to use the word "overlooked" instead, because so many people does not believe in a guitar players ability to sing. Marko's control over his voice is almost unbelieveable, tone, strength, modulation, breath control, syncopation when he is singing together with Floor... You will find out yourself as you go down this road. And he does this singing at the same time as playing the guitar - Opera singers doesn't do that, as another Reactor pointed out (Chase Carneson or Mike Goodrich, don't remember who). I don't mind if you are posting your videos as Premieres, it actually makes it a bit easier for me to make adjustments to my daily chores so I can watch your reactions. Cheers / B.
Few things: Floor was just overcoming a flu at this point so she couldn’t put 100% into this show, but she sounds great regardless! Marko is mostly backing vocals but there are songs where he takes the lead and shows his true vocal abilities (the islander at Tampere, while your lips are still red at Wembley, high hopes end of an era dvd. Just some examples). Speaking of Kai “slaying” the drums, slaying the dreamer from this same show is a must watch!! Also I’m obsessed with floor and cate blanchett so I’m stoked you made the floor/hela comparison 😁🙂 Please keep on this Nightwish journey, your reactions and comments are great :)
Funny thing is that right before I started this channel, I had a beard about a foot longer than it is now and wasn't too far off from Marko. I'm growing it back out.
Their singing compliments each other so freaking perfect, no matter who has lead in the song. I also want to say Thank you for breaking down the tech aspects of the show and some of what goes into set up. That has always been in the back of my mind.
Troy song: My Walden at Tampere. Marco song: The Islander, also at Tampere, or, one of my favourites: While your lips are still red live. Both awesome songs with Marco leading.
In some reaction video, someone stated that there should be a t-shirt of Marco and quote "Floor Jansen is my backing vocal".. I thought that was hilarious... and ... you got me subbed.
Troy song list: -'My Walden' live at Tampere or Wembly. -'I Want My Tears Back' live at Wacken for performance and video quality, and live in Buenos Aires for crowd energy. -'Last of the Wilds' live at Wacken. -'Seven Days to the Wolves' live at Wembly. -'Shudder Before the Beautiful' live at Wembly. -'While Your Lips are Still Red' live at Wembly Arena. -'Weak Fantasy' live at Tampere. -'The Islander' live at Tampere. -'Greatest Show on Earth' live at Tampere for the fire show and performance (best for first viewing), and then my favorite version is live at Wembly (the music is better and they have a special guest at the end, and you get to see Tuomas fan boy super hard). There are more songs, but these are the most important live Troy songs.
Wonderful website, Tank. Between you and Chase and Elvann, I'm learning a lot. As Erasmus said, "To stop learning is to start to die". For sheer unadulterated enthusiasm, there's Mr. Rock n Roll.
Yes, I was there that day. We waited a lot outside the stadium. There was some rain. Long rows of fans waiting. The show was amazing. There was a lot of people, didn't seem to be sold out, entirely, but Nightwish has a very good fanbase in Argentina. And the "argentos" are rabid fans. They didn't film the crowd so much, like in the famous Wacken 2013, but if you want to see some of it, watch " I want my tears back" live in Buenos Aires. Thanks, and it's time to subscribe to your channel.
Missed it 3 weeks ago. Again great reaction. This and Romanticide are high on the favorites list. I think the band is made for outdoor concerts, as special effects are equally important to their shows.
If you want to see Troy more, check out The Greatest Show on Earth. Most requests for this song will be Live from Tampere but they just recently released the live video from Wembley and I actually think that’s even better.
Greetings from Finland & thank your dad for me for suggesting this performance. It seems that good taste in music runs in your family. P.S. Floor told in an interview that she was really sick & could hardly talk when Nightwish had their shows in South-America. I guess some doctor worked miracles on her vocals and/or she was feeling better by the time this Buenos Aires show took place, although should you watch the entire show, she still had some problems with her voice towards the end of the show. P.S. They couldn't use any pyrotechnics due to local regulations. P.S.S. Here's more Marko live with the band he formed for his 1st solo album "Pyre of the Black Heart" (2020): MARKO HIETALA - Star, Sand And Shadow (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) ruclips.net/video/kqgEy0sLvg4/видео.html
I know some others have recommended Nightwish's tribute to Pink Floyd's "High Hopes". I've been a NW fan for nearly 15 years, but I had pretty much overlooked this gem of a live performance from around 2006 (?). I've listened to it a lot in the last month and it eats my lunch each time. To me it is one of the most impressive showcases of Marko's vocals. Amazing breath control and dynamics (not to mention spot-on bass playing). The skill and reverence that Emppu gives on the guitar solos has given me fresh respect for his artistry and does fine justice to David Gilmour's style. Jukka is a passionate beast on the drums. To me he is one of the most watchable drummers in recent memory. Tuomas' keyboard work is exemplary and powerful. His talent as an arranger elevates this song to a new level of epic grandeur. Finally, all of these guys emote with their faces and body language in an entirely fitting way. When you get to this one, enjoy! ruclips.net/video/IClqCyS4IRY/видео.html
I never considered this song would hold up with more recent singers of Nightwish but DAAAAAAAMNNNNN. This is a whole new colour thanks to Floor Jensen. She. just. C R U S H E S . it. Great reaction. This song is one of my all time faves.
You want Kai to accelerate? Then listen to the new album Human:||:Nature. Probably their best album so far. But you have to 'evoluate' just like Nightwish is capable of. This album is the next step in their own evolution. Change is gonna come. Enjoy. Greetings from the Netherlands.
The islander is my favorite Marko lead song of Nightwish - and the live video does include Troy as I remember. So that would be my suggestion to you for a next Nightwish reaction video for you.
You'll have to check out the studio version too, just to hear the very different approach Tarja and the guest vocalist brought to it. Marco wasn't in the band yet.
Joining the request for The Islander (Tampere) next! From this same show please do "I want my tears back", you'll meet Troy and you'll see Floor at her happiest! Keep in mind that she was kinda sick during this tour but the fed off the crowd energy and went crazy! I've been a NW fan for 15 years and being part of this blu-ray means the world to me, probably my happiest day ♥
Tank, you must see this: 🔥Nightwish - Yours Is An Empty Hope - Live at Wembley,🔥 Nightwish - Shudder Before The Beautiful - Live at Wembley and🔥 Nightwish - Weak Fantasy 🤟🔥
Yup, that's how early Nightwish sounded. And the Wacken production was of course 10x the size of this one, and also outdoors, which allows fire stuff you cannot easily do indoors, I think.
High Hopes from end of an Era for more Marco :) and The Islander Tampere concert. While your lips are still red at Wembley is a third choice. Heavy stuff, where you can hear Floor growling: Yours is an empty hope, Wembley. As for Troy, I want my tears back from Wacken 2016 or Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires version is more freestyle and Floor is having her best time there. Wacken is more about the music. Both awesome. As for next songs: Wacken 2013 overall, any song is awesome. If you want to hear the first singer Tarja, choose Phantom of the Opera from end of an Era. Marco is incredible in that as well. Before jumping to huge songs such as The poet and the pendulum, Greatest show on earth or Shoemaker (from their 2020 album) , please research them well! Especially the first one on the list. Much love from Finland! 🇫🇮💜
If someone asks you "Tarja or Floor" simply answer "MARKO'. BTW all those basses you see him using are Warwicks. He should get it inscribed with "Whosoever holds this axe, if he be worthy, shall ne'er be out-vocal'd by the power of Floor."
Yes Marko is a great singer.....and a great musician so far From nightwish.....Kiss while your lips are still Red......The Islander.......Ghost River ( one of the best trust me ) He's also the leader of TAROT....lead vocal
This is cool you did one for your Dad. You'll have to forgive all of us in the Nightwish army throwing, "do this song, do that song" at you, but you have to realize that Nightwish has 20+ years of music for you to catch-up with, and all of us have our favorites we want to see the reactors touch on. Given where you've already gone, I would suggest that Ever Dream and Song Of Myself from Wacken are good next steps. They are both universally loved Nightwish classics, both are rockers, both feature Floor's range and Marko sings in both as well. They are also good lead-ups to the epics, which should also be on your short list... Poet And The Pendulum live from Wembley, and The Greatest Show On Earth, live from Tampere. There'd still be a hundred other songs to react to, but those four should definitely be on your short list. Other's have likely mentioned this as well, from experience, but I'd do a bit of research on Poet and Greatest Show before reacting to them. There are histories with these songs that would benefit you greatly to know before going in (I think some have suggested you do a pre/post double reaction... not a bad idea either. Watching once with no knowledge of the song, then again after reading up on it). Thanks for sharing the fun...
You will get a lot of requests for "The Islander" & "Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red" for Marco and while they are both fine my personal favorite Marco song is their cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" from End of an Era. And yes I believe all of Marco's Basses are Warwicks even his custom double neck is half Warwick Infinity. Also Marco is the lead singer for Tarot, and he released a solo album last year. In addition he is part of the Northern Kings, 4 well known European metal musicians doing covers of pop songs (It's not as cringey as it sounds they are actually kind of funny). Other good Marco songs are "Ave Maria" With Floor or Elize, and on Ayreon Universe he does a song with Tommy from Kamelot, and Another with Tommy & Anneke. One thing about Marco is that no matter how good a singer sounds on their own they sound better singing with Marco
Norhern Kings is a really cool concept and has some serious singing talent aboard (JP Leppäluoto and Jarkko Ahola are fucking fantastic singers, and apparently a lot of people like Tony Kakko's bleating as well for some godforsaken reason), but I feel like the execution is seriously lacking. They're supposed to be these grandiose orchestral pieces, but the arrangements are so toothless and lukewarm. It's a shame.
Great reaction and informative. You have so much to be Blown Away by yet to come :) Would be interesting to hear your take on the gig starter Shudder Before the Beautiful (at Wembley), from a production standpoint. The track is awesome. Others in terms of production are of course The Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth, but still do others first and research those two before doing them. Weak Fantasy is a killer of a song as well (Tampere or Wembley). There is so much more too :)
Well, I'm happy that your dad recommended this song, because it was a highlight of the Decades tour for me for sure. It's a badass song and I really love it more now than the original studio version with Tarja (and don't get me wrong, we stan Tarja in my household, but yeah, for a few songs, Floor's arrangements give the songs more character like this one, Ghost Love Score and Ghost River - sung by Anette, Nightwish's second singer - , to name those that reaaaally stood out to me). I would have recommended it definitely if I hadn't seen it on your channel ^^. I saw them live during that tour. It was my first ever Nightwish concert after being a fan for nearly 15 years. I still can't believe I was there. The visuals were amazing, the music, the vocals, everything! Oh yeah, speaking about Anette, I see her era rarely recommended, but you ought to check out Scaretale. Perfect spooky song showing Anette's spooky side, hehehe. Her vocals on there are so cool. There's an official live version on Nightwish's channel if I remember correctly. Yes, Marko is awesome! Check out Endlessness from their last album. I know it's a studio version and all (thank you, covid-19 for no live versions yet), but you'll not be disappointed. The whole HVMAN :: NATVRE album is a masterpiece. I cannot get enough of it. And the visuals of the official lyrics videos are just amazing. The thought process, the attention to detail, the thematics. Like, wow. Starting from Music to Endlessness, and then what they did for Ad Astra. Kai is awesome! His work on the last Ngithwish album is bomb. I particularly like his addition of tribal drums that you really get to hear in Tribal (gotta check that one out too... or the whole album, really, you'll not regret it, I assure you).
I’m a later Nightwish fan, coming on board around 2006-2007 when Anette was their vocalist. So when I first heard this song, it was new to me. I have gone back and listen to the original and it’s good, but there is something so magical about a live version of their performances vs studio. Studio they are still AMAZING, but hearing live tracks can really hear how much fun they are having. Marko is such an interesting guy. I recommend tracking down interviews of him. Floor has her own RUclips channel and she interviewed him and they got on a conversation about aliens. It was wild. He has a solo album out. You should definitely check it out. It’s called Pyre Of A Black Heart. The Finnish version came out last year but he released the English version earlier this year. It really is such a beautiful album. If you go into those albums, I recommend “The Words Of My Father” and “Stones” Have a great day!
You want more Troy? Then look for Harvest from the new Album Human. :II. Nature. or Nightwish - How's The Heart Acoustic (Planet Rock acoustic session) and Nightwish - Nemo (Planet Rock acoustic session)
Marko definitely doesn't get enough recognition so thank you for this! Songs like "High Hopes" or "The Islander" are great at showing his full range which goes way beyond what you've already seen!
Marko is a legend and he can righteously wear a "Floor Jansen is my back up singer" t-shirt! 😂 And of course our Valkyrie queen! What a combo right? Please consider "Ghost River" or "Song of myself" live at Wacken or "The islander" live at Tampere for more Marko. Great Reaction Tank 🌷
Man, you need to check out Planet Hell from Nightwish if you like seeing Marko get a share of time on the microphone. It's an old one from back when they still had Tarja, so you could either see more of her style as well, or you can find a recording from a newer show with Floor (I love Tarja though).
If you want a brilliant and sensitive ballad by Nightwish - try "Dead boy's poem" from the same show! And, please, try some "from the roots" - some great song wigh Tarja: from "End of an Era" DVD - "Slaying the dreamer", "Ever Dream", "The Phantom of the Opera"(bsds Marco shines in it!) "Fantasmic", "The Pharaoh sails to the Orion" - from the older stuff.. and some other pre-2005 year. After that you may look after Floor's version of "Ever Dream" from Waken 2013. Good Luck!
Troy appears in the end of the song and he is playing the guitar with the e-bow!! Try to look more deep eheh! ;) But the perfect song for you to know and see more of Troy it's the song called "Nightwish - I Want my tears back" and they perform this song in Wacken 2013 but i prefer the Buenos Aires 2018 (this reaction concert)!! Sooooo you choose!! And thank you for the amazing reaction! I really love the little facts about the song and the band members and you opinions trought the! Such a lovely journey so far!!! :) Cheers! P.S.: For more Marko react to Nightwish - The Islander live at Tampere 2015! He has an amazing voice and this song showcase a different side of his voice!! ;)
Album version (Tarja and Tapio) sounds incredible, and this version... Also! Is weird hear Marko singing Tapio's parts. their voices are too different Althought it will be possibly in 2, 3 or 4 years. I'll like to see them on live here in Valencia (Spain) (althought last time that they played here were 24 years-ago in the Oceanborn Tour XD) But hey, i hope they'll do! I Guess...
You must be glad(at the moment reacting) of your dad's request/advice/suggestion to bite on this one(?) Yeah, the production value is still pretty high on this show, as you pointed out. The camera drives sinks well in. ... Just came to see your Nightwish reaction... Again! 😈👍 Cheers from the freeeeeezing🥶 Finland🇫🇮 🤟😎
If you want more Marko then Phantom of the Opera @ End of an Era would be good addition to Islander and High Hopes. Phantom has the added benefit that it also shows the OG singer Tarja and I think you should listen at least 1 of her songs before Poet and the Pendulum. Poet is, after all, all about aftermath of the firing of Tarja. Floor has not sung Phantom of the Opera with Nightwish but she DID sang Phantom with Henk Poort (THE Phantom in Netherlands for something like 20 years, hopefully I have the name right) in show called Beste Zangers and they sang it more in metal/nightwish style than opera.

Want more of Troy? "The greatest Show on Earth" live at Tampere and the acoustic versions of "How's the Heart" and "Nemo"
And Harvest!
And Harvest for Troy (although there’s no live version yet)
IMHO " Endlesness" is the best Marco's song... And one of the greatest Nightwish's songs...
Oh yes!! Next up: Yours is an empty hope!
Absolutely. Wembley 2015.
YES! I can't wait to see Tank's reaction to that one.
hell yessss
That or weak fantasy HAVE to be next!!
Yeah... That switch from high harmony to... (let him find out) with Marco... Definitely you have my vote.
Big love from Spain
This is a really old (and good) song. Tuomas wrote it when he was in high-school and he got into trouble with his English teacher because she saw the lyrics and thought it was devil-worship.
HA! That's wild.
Consider also that when Marko is singing, he's also furiously strumming 'n' picking the bass plus throwing in a little musical theatre acting.- and he's still overshadowed by Floor. Mind blowing when you think about. The other thing to think about - Floor will frequently and happily drop into a backing role for Marko and occasionally Troy as well.
So not only does Nightwish have this embarrassment of riches, Tuomas can move them around like vocal chess pieces and they're all happy to do it. If anyone doubts this, just watch Floor at Tampere applaud Marko after his "Islander" solo, with a huge grin on her face. She dropped into fangirl mode while watching him perform.

Watching him do the syncopated vocal lines in The Poet and the Pendulum over that crazy bass line is awesome.
@@brennieb78 Probably always expecting a prank where they not actually come in.
This is probably one of the HARDEST NW songs to perform live - they never had it in the set when Annete was part of the band. But Floor does the song justice. The woman is an absolute goddess / Valkyrie
I've read long long time ago that Jukka said it was the hardest song to play for him, so bravo also to Kai 👏
Wow dude keep up with those tank facts. That is unique and brilliant. I actually learn stuff while being entertained and sahring great music. phenomenal. You sir, are the Marko of react channels. And Chase could maybe be Floor XD
Agree... and Chase needs to see your comment. He'd be 'floor'ed and think it's re'marco'ble. lol
Rocky Harder provides facts on bands he reacts to.
The Islander (live at Tampere) is must!
Definitely this! If you want more of him, this is the place to go.
High hopes, the Pink Floyd cover
Marco is ridiculously good and talented. He does everything and he is always busy. Aside from Nightwish, he is/was in other projects such as Tarot and Northern Kings, did guest vocals on too many songs to count, and recently started solo work as well. Fun fact, he was also doing vocal production on 5 Amorphis albums.
If you want more Marco in your life, he does lead vocals on "The Islander" and "While Your Lips Are Still Red". Alternatively, you can check out his collaborations with Delain, a dutch band with female vocalist Charlotte Wessels. Three options here: "Nothing Left", "The Gathering" and "Sing to Me".
I love Delain "Gathering" Live ft. Marko. They are having fun, and so is the audience.
@@Idefixu Masters of Rock live
@@vitezslavhron3879 Definitely (2017)! Forgot to say, but you said it! Fantastic!
Lets be fair, Nightwish doesn't have a bad musician in it. Everyone always mention Floor as being amazing, but to her credit she always says its the band, not just her.
Sinvare True, Nightwish is pretty much a super group. I mean, they have Kai from Wintersun on drums, Marco from Tarot - who pretty much started the finnish metal wave - on bass!
FLOOR FACT: Her sister Irene is slightly taller than Floor.
Floor is 6'1 i guess
PageMonster additional fact: Irene is a pretty damn good singer in her own right. They (she and Floor) share the stage regularly, in Floors old band After Forever, but also with Ayreon, for example.
@@Shoikan I am well aware of that. Most people who know Floor know Irene.
PageMonster I was fairly sure you knew, but many other may not... 😊
It is time: Yours is an Empty Hope. Floor will literally fry your brain.
Only when he realizes who's doing the growling ;)
Yes please the presentation in Rio is the best!
If you want to do a Marko (yes it is with a “k” not a “c”, that something commercial blahblah for the past), check out Nightwish - High Hopes (End of an Era (yes a Pink Floyd cover, but 1 of the best)).
Technically it's both Marko is his given name Marco is his stage name.
Jack Storm true, Marco was his artist name, he changed it back to Marko, during his solo debut and latest Nightwish album
High Hopes is a must as Marko sings so awesomely while Jukka, Tuomas and Emppu really shine in their roles too!
Macro :P
Oooh GREAT recommendation!!! This is a CLASSIC Nightwish track.
Floor is one of those special special performers who leaves you stunned and surprised no matter how long you’ve been listening to her or how good you know she is... she so good that it still catches you off guard, also she can do anything and everything with her voice so she’ll hit you with something you weren’t expecting just to remind you “yes I’m THAT good” lol she’s incredible
Said it before, will say it 1000 times again. Marko is The Official Metal Voice of Finland.
For more Marko try The Islander, live in Tampere, Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red, live in Wembley.
And of the Nightwish train go and check Marcos solo projects where he can shine at the brightest throne. Voice of my father / Stones. 🤘👍
@@composerspineyard8854 Sure, and Tarot - I Walk Forever. Then there is his incredible performances from Raskasta Joulua tour and all the guest appearances with another bands. The list is endless.
@@NeeceLoneWolf True. I feel like Sonata Arctica doesn't always get the credit they deserve.
I know it's not a Nightwish song but High Hopes is one of my fave songs with Marco singing🤘
Kiss while your lips are still red, is a have to listen to.
Yeah, this song is a grower. It's kinda abrasive the first time you hear it, cause it's so far away from what you're used to from them and it has all these weird abrupt starts and stops, but the more you listen to it the more you understand what's actually going on here and how it all this rough chaos fits together and it becomes one heck of a ride.
There's still alot of Marco that awaits. There's 'Endlessness' from their newest album in which Marco is lead singer, 'The Islander' in which Marco is also lead singer (for this song check out the Tampere 2015 live version), next we've got 'High Hopes', a Pink Floyd cover, played in 2006 on their live DVD 'End of an Era' and IMO the best showcase of Marco's singing ability AND as a little bonus, an amazing Emmpu guitar solo, next up is 'While Your Lips Are Still Red', best to watch the Wembley 2015 live version and last but not least there's his solo album 'Pyre of ther Black Heart'. Now, here are two Nightwish songs that are 100% necessary to watch 'The Poet and the Pendulum' (Wembley 2015) and 'The Greatest Show on Earth' (Tampere 2015)
for marko i d say also ... Tarot : Tides
Endlessness is beautiful
Nightwish fans love Marko's voice since he joined the band. I never heard of him being overshadowed by anyone. In contrary, the duets now with Floor really shine. With Tarja I felt the contrast between his raw male rocky voice and her softer female operatic voice was a cool thing. But for me they never really mached when they sang together (I never liked "I wish I had an angel" with her for example). For the duets with Annette he had to take back his power for not overshadowing HER too much.
Everybody talk about the female singers of Nightwish. Personally, I can't choose between Floor and Tarja, I love both, and I respect Annette. But you have a good point; Marko is underrated. He is really a good singer and, since he has been with the three female vocalists, he has been able to suit his voice to all of them.
Yes, Marko is using a Warwick bass, and he also has a custom made double-neck with Warwick bass and Framus lead strings, and he is using Warwick amps and cabinettes. Don't know if you thought about it but Marko doesn't look down on the fretboard all that much when he is playing.
I wouldn't say that Marko is underrated as a singer, those of us who have seen and heard more of him - I can assure you that we are not underrating him as a singer. I would prefere to use the word "overlooked" instead, because so many people does not believe in a guitar players ability to sing. Marko's control over his voice is almost unbelieveable, tone, strength, modulation, breath control, syncopation when he is singing together with Floor... You will find out yourself as you go down this road. And he does this singing at the same time as playing the guitar - Opera singers doesn't do that, as another Reactor pointed out (Chase Carneson or Mike Goodrich, don't remember who).
I don't mind if you are posting your videos as Premieres, it actually makes it a bit easier for me to make adjustments to my daily chores so I can watch your reactions.
Cheers / B.
Few things: Floor was just overcoming a flu at this point so she couldn’t put 100% into this show, but she sounds great regardless! Marko is mostly backing vocals but there are songs where he takes the lead and shows his true vocal abilities (the islander at Tampere, while your lips are still red at Wembley, high hopes end of an era dvd. Just some examples). Speaking of Kai “slaying” the drums, slaying the dreamer from this same show is a must watch!! Also I’m obsessed with floor and cate blanchett so I’m stoked you made the floor/hela comparison 😁🙂 Please keep on this Nightwish journey, your reactions and comments are great :)
Floor's 50% Energy is average human or singer's 100%, Lol
And btw, the surprising never stops...
With Nightwish, epica and all the mixing of the Dutch/euro artists of this genre.
Must see "Slaying the Dreamer" That is one of their hardest rock songs from same concert.
For more Marco's voice: Pink Floyd High Hopes-cover by NW. And Empuu shines as well.
Emppu 😊👍
Absolutely🤘
20k and Tank will grow out his beard and style it like Marko "The Viking" Hietala ✊
I second this!😉👍
Or shave 'em all off
@@everett880 blasphemy))
Funny thing is that right before I started this channel, I had a beard about a foot longer than it is now and wasn't too far off from Marko. I'm growing it back out.
either that or we could introduce him to amon amarth singers beard :O :P
Their singing compliments each other so freaking perfect, no matter who has lead in the song. I also want to say Thank you for breaking down the tech aspects of the show and some of what goes into set up. That has always been in the back of my mind.
Troy song: My Walden at Tampere. Marco song: The Islander, also at Tampere, or, one of my favourites: While your lips are still red live. Both awesome songs with Marco leading.
Good God! I, like your dad, have gone down the fucking rabbit hole with this band! Just amazing!
In some reaction video, someone stated that there should be a t-shirt of Marco and quote "Floor Jansen is my backing vocal".. I thought that was hilarious... and ... you got me subbed.
Thanks man! Thats awesome. Hahahaha
Janne Tarhanen I saw that too on Chase’s reaction video. So funny!!
Troy song list:
-'My Walden' live at Tampere or Wembly.
-'I Want My Tears Back' live at Wacken for performance and video quality, and live in Buenos Aires for crowd energy.
-'Last of the Wilds' live at Wacken.
-'Seven Days to the Wolves' live at Wembly.
-'Shudder Before the Beautiful' live at Wembly.
-'While Your Lips are Still Red' live at Wembly Arena.
-'Weak Fantasy' live at Tampere.
-'The Islander' live at Tampere.
-'Greatest Show on Earth' live at Tampere for the fire show and performance (best for first viewing), and then my favorite version is live at Wembly (the music is better and they have a special guest at the end, and you get to see Tuomas fan boy super hard).
There are more songs, but these are the most important live Troy songs.
Oh man! Thank you so much! Such a great list!
Do the Buenos Aries version. Such a fun version of the song.
You forgot the acoustic session of "Nemo" and "How's the Heart" with Floor at Planet Rock. ;)
Dont forget Harvest for Troy singing.
Actually the new album Troy sings a whole lot more
Wonderful website, Tank. Between you and Chase and Elvann, I'm learning a lot. As Erasmus said, "To stop learning is to start to die". For sheer unadulterated enthusiasm, there's Mr. Rock n Roll.
Finland, the country with the best healthcare system, metal bands, and hockey players!
Valdemar Partanen that’s like the perfect trio!!
Slaying the dreamer from the same show is killer!
Hello,
another member of the Nightwish Army (we're) a family to, joined you. Thanks to Chase
Yes, I was there that day. We waited a lot outside the stadium. There was some rain. Long rows of fans waiting. The show was amazing. There was a lot of people, didn't seem to be sold out, entirely, but Nightwish has a very good fanbase in Argentina. And the "argentos" are rabid fans. They didn't film the crowd so much, like in the famous Wacken 2013, but if you want to see some of it, watch " I want my tears back" live in Buenos Aires. Thanks, and it's time to subscribe to your channel.
Thanks! Definitely gonna be doing that “I Want My Tears Back” video soon!
I was excited thinking this was already out so I clicked it. Now I'm sad.... but still excited.
Ah! Sorry about that! I always post these early but all my premiers are daily at 11:00am CST!
Yeah I hate these stupid premiere things.
@@TankTheTech 6 PM here in Germany ^^
Ive gone to just automatically like these vids! I dont think Ive smiled as much watching any other NW react, so thanks for the good times!
One of my favorite live Nightwish songs.
Missed it 3 weeks ago. Again great reaction. This and Romanticide are high on the favorites list. I think the band is made for outdoor concerts, as special effects are equally important to their shows.
If you want to see Troy more, check out The Greatest Show on Earth. Most requests for this song will be Live from Tampere but they just recently released the live video from Wembley and I actually think that’s even better.
An absolutely amazing Pink Floyd cover High hopes; Marco sings alone and WOW!
Greetings from Finland & thank your dad for me for suggesting this performance. It seems that good taste in music runs in your family.
P.S. Floor told in an interview that she was really sick & could hardly talk when Nightwish had their shows in South-America. I guess some doctor worked miracles on her vocals and/or she was feeling better by the time this Buenos Aires show took place, although should you watch the entire show, she still had some problems with her voice towards the end of the show.
P.S. They couldn't use any pyrotechnics due to local regulations.
P.S.S. Here's more Marko live with the band he formed for his 1st solo album "Pyre of the Black Heart" (2020): MARKO HIETALA - Star, Sand And Shadow (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) ruclips.net/video/kqgEy0sLvg4/видео.html
I know some others have recommended Nightwish's tribute to Pink Floyd's "High Hopes". I've been a NW fan for nearly 15 years, but I had pretty much overlooked this gem of a live performance from around 2006 (?). I've listened to it a lot in the last month and it eats my lunch each time. To me it is one of the most impressive showcases of Marko's vocals. Amazing breath control and dynamics (not to mention spot-on bass playing). The skill and reverence that Emppu gives on the guitar solos has given me fresh respect for his artistry and does fine justice to David Gilmour's style. Jukka is a passionate beast on the drums. To me he is one of the most watchable drummers in recent memory. Tuomas' keyboard work is exemplary and powerful. His talent as an arranger elevates this song to a new level of epic grandeur. Finally, all of these guys emote with their faces and body language in an entirely fitting way. When you get to this one, enjoy! ruclips.net/video/IClqCyS4IRY/видео.html
I love that you reacted to this for your Dad. Cheers to all of the REAL Dads out there!
I never considered this song would hold up with more recent singers of Nightwish but DAAAAAAAMNNNNN. This is a whole new colour thanks to Floor Jensen. She. just. C R U S H E S . it. Great reaction. This song is one of my all time faves.
Your dad is so right. This is definitely one of those ones for me. And I liked the original, but this is my favorite version of it by far now.
I actually listened to the original in the car earlier and absolutely loved it!
This is one of those songs that really grows on ya!
For more Kai action check Nightwish : Weak Fantasy live at Tampere. Enjoying your videos man, keep it up.
You want Kai to accelerate? Then listen to the new album Human:||:Nature. Probably their best album so far. But you have to 'evoluate' just like Nightwish is capable of. This album is the next step in their own evolution. Change is gonna come. Enjoy. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Tampere, being home turf, has also the most advanced stage production.
Weak Fantasy at Tampere is a seriously underrated performance
The islander is my favorite Marko lead song of Nightwish - and the live video does include Troy as I remember. So that would be my suggestion to you for a next Nightwish reaction video for you.
YES I love that your dad requested this one xD
It took me several listens to really get into this one too but I absolutely love it now.
I want my tears back Buenos Aires is a good Troy song. Tons of energy in the crowd and on stage on this one.
"The Greatest Show on Earth" is a song where Troy stands out with singing and flute play. Greetings :)
Last of The Wilds from Wacken is a great spotlight for Troy. No vocals, just the band rocking out and very obviously having a great time together.
You'll have to check out the studio version too, just to hear the very different approach Tarja and the guest vocalist brought to it. Marco wasn't in the band yet.
Marco Hietela also used to be a part of the Northern Kings band, a vocal supergroup with the best singers of Finland, really amazing voice
Joining the request for The Islander (Tampere) next! From this same show please do "I want my tears back", you'll meet Troy and you'll see Floor at her happiest! Keep in mind that she was kinda sick during this tour but the fed off the crowd energy and went crazy! I've been a NW fan for 15 years and being part of this blu-ray means the world to me, probably my happiest day ♥
Tank, you must see this: 🔥Nightwish - Yours Is An Empty Hope - Live at Wembley,🔥 Nightwish - Shudder Before The Beautiful - Live at Wembley and🔥 Nightwish - Weak Fantasy 🤟🔥
Yup, that's how early Nightwish sounded. And the Wacken production was of course 10x the size of this one, and also outdoors, which allows fire stuff you cannot easily do indoors, I think.
If you want to see Marco do the leadsinging you should pick "The Islander" live from Tampere. This song is also a song that is written by Marco.
High Hopes from end of an Era for more Marco :) and The Islander Tampere concert. While your lips are still red at Wembley is a third choice.
Heavy stuff, where you can hear Floor growling: Yours is an empty hope, Wembley.
As for Troy, I want my tears back from Wacken 2016 or Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires version is more freestyle and Floor is having her best time there. Wacken is more about the music. Both awesome.
As for next songs: Wacken 2013 overall, any song is awesome. If you want to hear the first singer Tarja, choose Phantom of the Opera from end of an Era. Marco is incredible in that as well.
Before jumping to huge songs such as The poet and the pendulum, Greatest show on earth or Shoemaker (from their 2020 album) , please research them well! Especially the first one on the list.
Much love from Finland! 🇫🇮💜
Great reaction.Waiting next! This show they don´t have pyros because pyros are forbidden inside arenas in Argentina.
Actually Troy had a little part in this song. Not with the pipes though, but he's playing that second guitar in the end :)
I didn’t even notice him until someone pointed that out. Hahaha
The Islander and High Hopes cover are absolute must if you truly want to hear more Marko :D and he's "not bad" in phantom of opera either
If someone asks you "Tarja or Floor" simply answer "MARKO'. BTW all those basses you see him using are Warwicks. He should get it inscribed with "Whosoever holds this axe, if he be worthy, shall ne'er be out-vocal'd by the power of Floor."
Yes Marko is a great singer.....and a great musician so far
From nightwish.....Kiss while your lips are still Red......The Islander.......Ghost River ( one of the best trust me )
He's also the leader of TAROT....lead vocal
Troy actually was playing in this song. The wailing guitar in the final minute or so is him on guitar (I think he's using an EBow)
Didn't realize this until everyone started telling me. Haha
Marco is a wonderful "character actor" with his voice... it's full of theatrics :)
Emppu plays what is needed.
This is cool you did one for your Dad. You'll have to forgive all of us in the Nightwish army throwing, "do this song, do that song" at you, but you have to realize that Nightwish has 20+ years of music for you to catch-up with, and all of us have our favorites we want to see the reactors touch on. Given where you've already gone, I would suggest that Ever Dream and Song Of Myself from Wacken are good next steps. They are both universally loved Nightwish classics, both are rockers, both feature Floor's range and Marko sings in both as well. They are also good lead-ups to the epics, which should also be on your short list... Poet And The Pendulum live from Wembley, and The Greatest Show On Earth, live from Tampere. There'd still be a hundred other songs to react to, but those four should definitely be on your short list. Other's have likely mentioned this as well, from experience, but I'd do a bit of research on Poet and Greatest Show before reacting to them. There are histories with these songs that would benefit you greatly to know before going in (I think some have suggested you do a pre/post double reaction... not a bad idea either. Watching once with no knowledge of the song, then again after reading up on it). Thanks for sharing the fun...
Oh, there's nothing wrong with all the recommendations being thrown out! I know there's a lot of music to get through, and I appreciate the guidance!
You will get a lot of requests for "The Islander" & "Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red" for Marco and while they are both fine my personal favorite Marco song is their cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" from End of an Era. And yes I believe all of Marco's Basses are Warwicks even his custom double neck is half Warwick Infinity. Also Marco is the lead singer for Tarot, and he released a solo album last year. In addition he is part of the Northern Kings, 4 well known European metal musicians doing covers of pop songs (It's not as cringey as it sounds they are actually kind of funny). Other good Marco songs are "Ave Maria" With Floor or Elize, and on Ayreon Universe he does a song with Tommy from Kamelot, and Another with Tommy & Anneke. One thing about Marco is that no matter how good a singer sounds on their own they sound better singing with Marco
Norhern Kings is a really cool concept and has some serious singing talent aboard (JP Leppäluoto and Jarkko Ahola are fucking fantastic singers, and apparently a lot of people like Tony Kakko's bleating as well for some godforsaken reason), but I feel like the execution is seriously lacking. They're supposed to be these grandiose orchestral pieces, but the arrangements are so toothless and lukewarm. It's a shame.
+1 for the High Hopes that Jack is referring to. Absolutely killer.
My friend, Nightwish is not about nessesary guitar solo in every song. It's about emotions! Nice reaction!
This was written loooong before Kai and Floor. Kai, in my opinion, is one of the best drummers in metal, period.
Great reaction and informative. You have so much to be Blown Away by yet to come :) Would be interesting to hear your take on the gig starter Shudder Before the Beautiful (at Wembley), from a production standpoint. The track is awesome. Others in terms of production are of course The Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth, but still do others first and research those two before doing them. Weak Fantasy is a killer of a song as well (Tampere or Wembley). There is so much more too :)
Just so you know, half of all these views are mine😂 Tank, my favourite American🥰
Well, I'm happy that your dad recommended this song, because it was a highlight of the Decades tour for me for sure. It's a badass song and I really love it more now than the original studio version with Tarja (and don't get me wrong, we stan Tarja in my household, but yeah, for a few songs, Floor's arrangements give the songs more character like this one, Ghost Love Score and Ghost River - sung by Anette, Nightwish's second singer - , to name those that reaaaally stood out to me).
I would have recommended it definitely if I hadn't seen it on your channel ^^.
I saw them live during that tour. It was my first ever Nightwish concert after being a fan for nearly 15 years. I still can't believe I was there. The visuals were amazing, the music, the vocals, everything!
Oh yeah, speaking about Anette, I see her era rarely recommended, but you ought to check out Scaretale. Perfect spooky song showing Anette's spooky side, hehehe. Her vocals on there are so cool. There's an official live version on Nightwish's channel if I remember correctly.
Yes, Marko is awesome! Check out Endlessness from their last album. I know it's a studio version and all (thank you, covid-19 for no live versions yet), but you'll not be disappointed. The whole HVMAN :: NATVRE album is a masterpiece. I cannot get enough of it. And the visuals of the official lyrics videos are just amazing. The thought process, the attention to detail, the thematics. Like, wow. Starting from Music to Endlessness, and then what they did for Ad Astra.
Kai is awesome! His work on the last Ngithwish album is bomb. I particularly like his addition of tribal drums that you really get to hear in Tribal (gotta check that one out too... or the whole album, really, you'll not regret it, I assure you).
I’m a later Nightwish fan, coming on board around 2006-2007 when Anette was their vocalist. So when I first heard this song, it was new to me. I have gone back and listen to the original and it’s good, but there is something so magical about a live version of their performances vs studio. Studio they are still AMAZING, but hearing live tracks can really hear how much fun they are having.
Marko is such an interesting guy. I recommend tracking down interviews of him. Floor has her own RUclips channel and she interviewed him and they got on a conversation about aliens. It was wild. He has a solo album out. You should definitely check it out. It’s called Pyre Of A Black Heart. The Finnish version came out last year but he released the English version earlier this year. It really is such a beautiful album. If you go into those albums, I recommend “The Words Of My Father” and “Stones”
Have a great day!
Pyro is not allowed in Argentina, so that affect the stage show quite a bit! And love that you played Soilwork in the outro, love that band!
YES YES YES🔥💥 Favorite of mine. Nice Pick.😁
Marcos best is high hopes live video. So brain melting with his high notes. Really one of the best male singers alive
You want more Troy? Then look for Harvest from the new Album Human. :II. Nature. or Nightwish - How's The Heart Acoustic (Planet Rock acoustic session) and Nightwish - Nemo (Planet Rock acoustic session)
Floor is a Valkyrie and Marco is the leader of her viking warband.
Marko definitely doesn't get enough recognition so thank you for this! Songs like "High Hopes" or "The Islander" are great at showing his full range which goes way beyond what you've already seen!
There are a lot of Nightwish songs that shine after the second or third listen. Their last album is like that, but for the whole album :)
Marko is a legend and he can righteously wear a "Floor Jansen is my back up singer" t-shirt! 😂
And of course our Valkyrie queen!
What a combo right?
Please consider "Ghost River" or "Song of myself" live at Wacken or "The islander" live at Tampere for more Marko.
Great Reaction Tank 🌷
Man, you need to check out Planet Hell from Nightwish if you like seeing Marko get a share of time on the microphone. It's an old one from back when they still had Tarja, so you could either see more of her style as well, or you can find a recording from a newer show with Floor (I love Tarja though).
You HAVE to check out Slaying The Dreamer from this same show. Badass!
If you want a brilliant and sensitive ballad by Nightwish - try "Dead boy's poem" from the same show!
And, please, try some "from the roots" - some great song wigh Tarja: from "End of an Era" DVD - "Slaying the dreamer", "Ever Dream", "The Phantom of the Opera"(bsds Marco shines in it!)
"Fantasmic", "The Pharaoh sails to the Orion" - from the older stuff.. and some other pre-2005 year.
After that you may look after Floor's version of "Ever Dream" from Waken 2013. Good Luck!
Love ur energy man.. Keep it up 💃
Wellcome to NW nation 🤘
ARGENTINIAN CROWD!! Greetings from down south dude!
Marko is also really good in the other band he has fronted, Tarot. I suggest the song Tides.
Troy appears in the end of the song and he is playing the guitar with the e-bow!! Try to look more deep eheh! ;) But the perfect song for you to know and see more of Troy it's the song called "Nightwish - I Want my tears back" and they perform this song in Wacken 2013 but i prefer the Buenos Aires 2018 (this reaction concert)!! Sooooo you choose!! And thank you for the amazing reaction! I really love the little facts about the song and the band members and you opinions trought the! Such a lovely journey so far!!! :) Cheers! P.S.: For more Marko react to Nightwish - The Islander live at Tampere 2015! He has an amazing voice and this song showcase a different side of his voice!! ;)
Album version (Tarja and Tapio) sounds incredible, and this version... Also!
Is weird hear Marko singing Tapio's parts. their voices are too different
Althought it will be possibly in 2, 3 or 4 years. I'll like to see them on live here in Valencia (Spain) (althought last time that they played here were 24 years-ago in the Oceanborn Tour XD)
But hey, i hope they'll do! I Guess...
great reaction to an amazing song, tnx
Nightwish, High Hopes
That is the song you must react to see full Marko vocals..
Marko even sings a great Ave Maria (with Floor)
You must be glad(at the moment reacting) of your dad's request/advice/suggestion to bite on this one(?)
Yeah, the production value is still pretty high on this show, as you pointed out. The camera drives sinks well in.
... Just came to see your Nightwish reaction... Again! 😈👍
Cheers from the freeeeeezing🥶 Finland🇫🇮 🤟😎
Enjoying the journey, can’t wait til you get to Poet and Greatest Show on Earth
If you want to see Troy check "My Walden" live from Tampere ,not as fast and hard but again an amazing Tuomas composition
If you want Marko and Floor killing it on a duo do Ghost River from the epic Wacken concert. Epic . 🤟🤟✌️✌️
Love Marco's solo album and also his other band Tarot.
If you wanna hear how high Marco can go, react to "Nightwish The Phantom Of The Opera with lyrics" . Tarja and Marco are doing vocals on this one
If you want more Marko then Phantom of the Opera @ End of an Era would be good addition to Islander and High Hopes. Phantom has the added benefit that it also shows the OG singer Tarja and I think you should listen at least 1 of her songs before Poet and the Pendulum. Poet is, after all, all about aftermath of the firing of Tarja.
Floor has not sung Phantom of the Opera with Nightwish but she DID sang Phantom with Henk Poort (THE Phantom in Netherlands for something like 20 years, hopefully I have the name right) in show called Beste Zangers and they sang it more in metal/nightwish style than opera.
