Music Teacher Reacts: Nightwish - The Islander (Live At Tampere)
My first video post 10,000 subs! Thank you for all your support!
This one was one of the more complicated ones as far as editing goes. Trying to add more features everytime to give you guys more value.
Cool song, great performance, solid musicians. What more could we ask for?
I make quite a few notes on this one and it was shot shortly after my teaching day was complete. As a result, you get a little more explanation than normal. But hey, you guys deserve it!
Trying a new thing out where you can buy me a coffee!

I love Marco's huge grin when the rest of the band come in perfectly on time.
Definitely one of the best parts of the video
gives a "we got your back, we didn't leave you alone against this thirsty army" feeling :p
they came in a fraction late and it just made it even better!
I love his face, he's looking to the side, waiting for them as they kept it hanging for a fraction :D
Gave me Ayreon vibes.
When Floor joined Nightwish, Marko said that he would never be afraid of overpowering the lead singer again. She just turns on more power whenever she wants - but she is so great on keeping it down and play with emotions instead.
Great great song by Marko - and the rest of Nightwish.
Great reaction from you 👍 🤘 🤘
Annette must have tortured him……
This song is written by Mr. Hietala himself. I love this live version, but original official video is great.
Jouko same with “While your lips are still red”, there the official video wins for me
I like the official video version more!
I agree in this song Marco is the lead singer and when the song was created Anette was just in it for backing vocals. So No reason for Floor to be stronger in her vocals. The music video for this is amazing. A must watch.
Random fun fact speaking of Marco's vocal power/strength. It was recorded in private interviews that he and the band's sound engineers even with Tarja had to be careful to not overpower Tarja/Annette with Marco's vocals when he wasn't supposed to be lead. Not that they weren't strong singers - simply Marco's voice's sound just naturally is very strong but he said it really isn't an issue anymore as Floor has the same ability.
Yes. The comment sections say do live only, but that always annoys the crap out of me, the reactors will only be doing the same stuff as all the others if they go by comments. Live and studio serve two different purposes, it's not a one or the other thing. The originals always have much more musical detail to hear in them. The live just shows how well the play live and the energy, etc.
Nightwish doesn't jam around a campfire. Campfires jam around Nightwish.
Reference to the video. Nice
@@kaneda317 i just tought the same!!!😁
lol
#zlatan haha
They are the Chuck Norris of music.
Ville Lipiainen is the man who records Nightwish audio-visuals for all those not fortunate enough to get to a show. He is worth a fanclub of his own!
The truly great ones usually are! Thanks for your comment and supporting the channel :)
Gonna have to disagree here...not a fan of his work generally. While capable of *occasionally* not screwing things up (epic crane shot of Floor at the end of GLS Tampere), his edits in most of the live shows are about as completely random as could be. Though I have to say the Buenos Aires vid is much better than his older stuff, so he is getting better. To see the kind of stuff he misses/chooses not to include in the editing suite, watch the official vid of Nemo from Luna Park that's on the extras DVD of VoS, and then watch the fan shot vid of the same song...see if you can spot what's missing :). And notice how most reactors miss Floor's growls in YIAEH? Try to find a really good show her growling in anything official. All you get is little snippets from odd angles. Best shot *evar* of her in that song is from the Rock in Rio house vid.
@@madddog6790 I agree. Not impressed with his work. In Phantom of the Opera at Wembly, it was like he didn't know Marko was going to be singing. Took 6 camera changes to get a shot of his face.
@@madddog6790 We can disagree. If you're as jealous as I am of a man who has been with them from the start I understand. As you wrote "edits" - imagine what he has that we have NOT seen! At least someone is doing it and has the band's approval!
@@danwhitehousepc Phantom Of The Opera at Wembley?? Could you share a link of this video because as far as I know Phantom Of The Opera (Marco&Tarja) was performed at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki. End of an Era concert.
FINALLY, a reaction from someone who actually talks about the music and vocals instead of just oohing and aahing. Thanks for reacting to so much Nightwish. I find them fantastic thank listen to. Their songs are so complex with so many changes Please do, do the guitar video.😁
The wind instrument Troy is playing is the Low Whistle. He has two of different lengths plus a short high pitched one called a Tin Whistle.
Well, they're both Irish and the shorter one is simply a High Whistle IIRC.
And for our reactor, mainstays of Irish trad/Celtic music.
And Troy is the only one who's allowed to play with his flute on stage. Giggity. Ok... I'll let myself out....
@@PeaceweaponPT She does in this version of Valley of the queens: ruclips.net/video/HL5YBIiIGps/видео.html
Keep up the Nightwish reactions man, I enjoy you breaking some of the stuff down. And don't be afraid of spewing out Music Theory, sometimes it's nice to truly learn something. Also, you explain Music Theory in a very simple, fantastic way which I thoroughly enjoy.
Marko Hietala, the writer of this song, has his own band that I think you could enjoy reacting to. I personally enjoy "Stones" which has a Hard Rock vibe to it.
All you hardcore fans out there, give him some more suggestions from Marko because names are slipping my mind right now! haha
Thanks for such a great comment! Ok, more music theory it is! haha.
Absolutely. Lots more theory - it never hurts to actually understand more of the technicality of what's going on.
For more Marko (and a bonus of Emppu channeling his inner David Gilmour), you can't go wrong with Nightwish's cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes.
Tuomas Holopainen is one the modern day great composers. I will never get over just how much of himself he put in to The Poet and the Pendulum. Certain people transcend song writing and lyricism to become true masters of the art and Tuomas is one of the rare ones.
I am always going to be grateful to be alive at the same time as Nightwish, songs like The Poet and the Pendulum, Swanheart, Ghost Love Score, Song of Myself, The Greatest Show on Earth and Forever Yours are song I will never forget.
I totally agree and nod to the word "composer", absolutely correct for Tuomas.
First thing: I can't tell you how excited I got when I saw that you were reacting to Islander, I just got off a long work shift and I really should have been going to bed, but I HAD to see you experience it.
To be honest, music theory is a big part of why I adore Nightwish reaction videos. My parents are culturally Deaf (I can hear just fine) so when I was little, my music teachers (mistakenly) assumed that I'd never pick up an interest in music, much less an instrument, so I learned... virtually nothing, despite the fact that I ADORE complex and masterful music (like Nightwish). I actually VERY MUCH enjoy music theory interjections, just so that I can "see" what musicians are seeing in my favorite songs.
I have a squier strat collecting dust that I would very much love to put to good use, and I would LOVE to learn even the basics of how to play The Islander. It's one of my all-time favorite songs, and I am probably the ultimate newbie, so I'm looking for all the help I can get (and I realize this is a very good place for that kind of support ;).
TL;DR: YES. PLEASE.
This comment made me smile, thanks for taking the time to write it! We're working on a massive online guitar lesson program for this channel as well! Please try and see some of the other videos that are on here for basics on guitar lessons! I truly hope they help you out! If not, email me and I'll send you some things :) Thanks for supporting this whole thing
I think it's beautiful how this band gives space to every member. This was Marko's song so i think it's lovely that he's allowed to shine and that moment is given to him.
Nicknames :
Floor Jansen(vocals): The Valkyrie
Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards): The Warlock
Marco Hietala(bass guitar): The Viking
Jukka Nevalainen(Drums): The Pirate
Emppu Vuorinen(guitar): The Hobbit
Troy Donockley: the Multitasker
great song
Can I like this comment more than once?
@@TempleMusicAcademy love your analysis, especially on the music theory side..I've played guitar for years and the theory side always confusing
I love it when voice coaches and music teachers get excited about Nightwish.
Imagine having Floor as your backup singer...
Just more Nightwish pls :)
You are so positive and in to it, that it's just pleasure to watch :)
Great job!
As someone who was a musician for a few years in school but never took music theory, please do more with that. I really liked hearing the analysis of the song from a technical standpoint as well. It brings the music that I have enjoyed for years into a new place for me to appreciate it from that technical side and not just pure auditory.
Please do that Guitar lesson video for this Version! Been trying to figure it out for ages but just cant get it right. I also prefer this live version over the studio Version, so a lesson for this Right here would be amazing!
Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for your comment! I think I know what I'm doing this weekend haha! Thanks for supporting the channel
@@TempleMusicAcademy Yay! I've been trying to learn guitar, and this would make me so happy to learn!
I've looked at many Nightwish reactions, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of music theory, which is really cool. Even if I don't have any knowledge in the subject, It's really nice to have someone who can explain the finer nuances and illuminate how talented/good they really are.
Keep it up, love the in depth analysis of the music theory and harmonies, not being a very talented musician myself it is super interesting to listen to you explain the brilliance of Nightwish which I can appreciate but not fully understand. Definitely a fav channel on RUclips!
On all of youtube!? Wow! Thank you so much for your comment and your support. You just made my day :)
Temple Music Academy right back at you, for posting this. Can't wait for you to dig into the new album Human Nature, when you get to it, please do it from beginning to end, 9 songs, all have lyric videos. As a musician, fair warning, it might blow your mind, be careful 😂
The reason why I suscribed is you're funny AND for the music theory from a guitar perspective.
Usually reactors focus on the singing, so hearing comments on an instrument is so refreshing, I'll keep coming to your videos while you do it :P
This song is gorgeous, glad you like it!
For *The Islander* specifically, the music video is by far the best version.
The video is just as important as the music.
DJ... You're an absolute music geek and we absolutely love that about you!!! Carry on...
~Management
Fun fact, this concert was at night.
aeldin131 wow!!!
Yeah, I think they started around 9 pm. I was there with my dad. :)
Summer in Finland hehehe.
Must be great.
@@nunalves7 yes, but then you've also got to consider winter in Finland as well.
@@MsCatstaff yes, not easy.
Since i was a child, my dream is to go visit scandinavia.
I love my country, i'm portuguese, but i'm fascinated with scandinavia countries.
Can you react to one of Marko´s songs from his solo album Pyre of a Black Heart (or finnish version Mustan Sydämen Rovio)? My favourites are Death March for Freedom and Star, Sand and Shadow. Both songs have official live version.
What a great sound!! I keep thinking I won't find a Nighwish offering better than I've already heard, but I'm wrong...this beats 'em all so far!!
What a wonderful reaction! Talk as much as you want it is interesting to hear and shows that you really like it ^^
Troy is basically the guy in the Irish pub who can play any traditional Irish/Celtic instrument beautifully. He was all pipes and whistles to start with but now does more vocal and guitar. Check out his guitar playing in the Planet Rock acoustic session with him and Floor performing How's The Heart. The camera lingers on what his fingers are doing quite nicely.
Love Marco so much. He's great and the new album features him so happy. Very happy your reacting to nightwish!
I absolutely love this song, it's in my Nightwish top 5. I'm also really enjoying your reactions. well done.
Good things happen to good people. Oh, and embrace the chaos on your desk brother! Fantastic video your enjoyment for Nightwish is wonderful thank you...
Really appreciate the extra value of your comments regarding music theory and keep them coming! It's good at lest for me to continue learning about all the aspects of a song. Lyrics, musical composition, interpretation of every component, etc. Gives the nightwish journey a more complete experience. Been following the band since 2002 probably and saw them live 2 months after Floor joined the band. The blew out all my doubts and surpassed all my expectations.
And I love that even though I know most of their songs by heart (except the ones from the new album which I'm still listening and internalizing), I keep learning new things and aspects of them every day.
So, legit, in 20 years of me playing bass (rather badly, but I still have fun with it), I have never been able to wrap my head around music theory. I've tried, and tried, but it just never clicked. I can tune my bass to whatever, and learn to put my fingers where they need to be, but that is the extent of my ability. Your explanation of modes and inversions is the first time in 2 decades I've actually felt like I've almost had my aha moment. Keep those insights coming!
So far I've just watched & enjoyed your reactions to Nightwish, but this time I also decided to subscribe in anticipation for more Nightwish since they have some 100+ songs worth reacting.
good job - like always :)
greetings from Poland...
"This is sexiness on it's dopest level."
Shakespeare would be proud.🤣😂
Sweet reaction. Love the insight.
You need to look into Floor more. Sure nightwish is a VERY tight band, Tuomas (the writer) a genius, but to me, Floor is what really makes this incarnation of Nightwish next level.
She participated in a dutch television format called "beste zangers" ('best singers'), which is NOT a competition but all 'famous' (in the netherlands) artists performing songs for each other, often by each other. Floor totally wiped the floor with everyone in this season, she made EVERY person cry when she sang one of 'their' songs, including the guy who insisted he woud never cry.
By the way, it's not 'getting floored', it's called a 'floorgasm'. Floor is a master at building up different layers of tension within a song. Often she works into a climax, which is the actual floorgasm.
This is best demonstrated in ghost love score, the last 20 seconds of the song. She pulls an amazing feat of singing of here. She switches from chest to head to mix to head to mix.. usually a singer can make one such swich and then need time to recuperate. She does it flawless, 2 times in a row, followd by a F#6 note sustained.
I know you're into metal, but feelings are feelings, music is music. You probably don't like lady gaga. Still, you NEED to see this:
ruclips.net/video/M68pe4a_9zk/видео.html
Gaga powers through this, as the song lends itself for this perfectly. However, floor takes a completely differen t approach, holds back, keeps it close and small, adding soo much to the song. It would be a very good example for studends.
Ofcourse you also have to see this piece of god level stuff:
ruclips.net/video/plCScjvDOJM/видео.html
Some background; this is a duet with "Henk Poort", who is a well known dutch opera singer/musical star. He played "The Phantom" in the dutch rendition of it, and was deemed "the only true phantom" by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Henk is floors childhoold idol, which explains the chemistry between the both. Note that this was the second time in his live, for Hank, to sing with distortion, which ofcourse in the classical scene is frowned upon. Maybe he overdid it a bit out of enthousiasm, but man, what a performance.
Also nice to compare this (for students) to the same song, also floor, but now way more classical:
ruclips.net/video/Nl_E9E_Zzps/видео.html
And if you want Floor full force classical, you MUST see this:
ruclips.net/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/видео.html
A classical piece by Puccini.
You might want to dedicate an episode just to floor and her versatility. If you explore her earlier work, you'll find that this lady does it all, she can also grunt.
Last tip; find several live performances of nightwish with the same song, and put them next to each other. You'll find that, even though they are truly performed live, they are simply the same, to the millisecond. The drummer is playing to one hell of a clicktrack.
You should listen to "Yours Is An Empty Hope" Live. It really shows how wide of a range floor has with her vocals.
Toumas the keyboard player is the master, the mistro behind all nighwish sounds.
Troy is relatively new, he does pipes an stuff . Illean pipes, I don’t know how to spell that but there Irish pipes not Scottish bag pipes !
Troy is awesome, so fantastic. He brings a Celtic presence which evolves nighwish even more.
Dude, never apologize for sharing your passion! Geek out on music theory, and draw us in. Who knows, maybe we will learn something!
Talking about instruments, you may want to check I Want My Tears Back.
I'm sure someone can point a proper live performance video to check for Troy's performance with this song.
Man do The Last Of the Wilds. An instrumental song. Please please olease
Yeah? Well you said please three times..... so it must be good!!
@@TempleMusicAcademy Emppu and Troy will blow your mind in this one. Won't say more, you need to check it out.
Thank you for your fantastic videos.
You'll want to move your desk. If you're not standing up and physically dancing, something is very wrong 😂
@@TempleMusicAcademy Wacken 2013 live version 👍
@@TempleMusicAcademy it really is incredible. Nuclear Blast played it in their weekend 4 hour stream the other day and people went nuts for this song.
Watching you talk about chords, tuning, just music basically, with so much passion makes me happy somehow. Haha! Wish I could find that love for music in me again. Have not played (nor touched) my guitar for many years. Have not played the piano either since the one at my house was sold, and that was probably a decade ago. Kinda miss that feeling. lol
p/s: I'm subscribing!
The wind instrument is a low whistle. It has a very rich warm tone. A better known whistle is the much smaller penny whistle. A great example of this can be heard in Special Star by Mango Groove. I used to think of whistles as a cheap toy-like alternative to a flute or piccalo. But I have come to appreciate their beautiful smooth, velvety tone .
You won my subscription with the promise of a guitar video of this song.
Live Nightwish, best Nightwish.
Loved the reaction! Great knowledge, thanks man!
You mention about it being a campfire song - that’s exactly how they do it in the official video. They’re all sat inside (yes, inside!) a campfire! Go check it out if you haven’t already dude, you’ll love it.
Thanks once again! It's great having someone explain about the guitar as so many just concentrate on the vocals. Adds a whole new level of appreciation for the music :)
Read the dummies book multiple times but i think i have learned more in this video. very clear way of explaining things. Thanks for that
Thx for your lesson. I am not playing an instrument but it is very informative to have a closer look to the music itself. You surprise me every time.... 😃👍
Dude I love you! Long term subscriber!
Awesome reaction dude, keep up the good work! Subbed!
Do that chord video for sure. I JUST started to learn guitar last week, so about 5 years from now it sure will be useful 🤣🤣
You just started!? Congrats!! Welcome to the family! Haha. Please check out the guitar lesson videos we have on this channel and message us if you ever need some help. Thanks for all your support!
@@TempleMusicAcademy wow thanks, I will check
Excellent reaction and analysis! I love this version of the song.
This is how pro's sound like (greetings from the Netherlands)
Irish low D whistle was what Troy was playing. I believe the initial section is also 6/8. Which is a nice trap because it doesn’t immediately feel that way because of how he chooses to strum.
You gotta love how he just nerds out over the music theory! Enthralling!
Great reaction.
Love hearing you talk about music, dispite the fact that i don't understand a lot about it 😁
Cheers from Portugal
You where not alone felling surprised the band coming in...So was Marco. The plan was for him to do this all by himself. Look at his face right after they came in. And Floor smilling at the end "got ya ;-)"
Really enjoy Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s son reacting to this. Can never go wrong with nightwish ✌🏼
Not gonna lie dude, i subbed because im part of the nightwish army. You really could do an entire channel just reacting to nightwish stuff. theres so much. enjoy. i'll leave it to Ms Ann and the more senior members to direct your journey.
Your willingness to dive into music theory and how excited you get and how well you’re able to explain it is all a huge part of why you’re one of my favorite reactors on RUclips.
What an amazing thing to say. Thank you, Jordan. You’ve made my day so much better
So glad I found this channel. Love the reactions but love you add music theory so I’m learning as well
How lucky are the students who have such a passionate music teacher :) I wish my music teachers had been as good at explaining music theory to me as you are :) Love the reaction, have seen all your Nightwish ones and I think you are awesome, I like that you go into detail about the music.
Take care, hope to see some more Nightwish reactions from you :D
Congrats on 10k
I'm really excited to see you getting into Nightwish just as much as the rest of us have been for years now! You probably could do a separate series or playlist of just Nightwish songs! Keep it up dude!
This is one of the rare Nightwish songs for which the recorded version of the music video is also very interesting. Also would be really interested to you reacting to the new lyric videos for the songs of the new album Human|Nature, as they are doing lots of interesting things musically and vocally, and finally the 2 acoustic performances that Troy did with Floor for Planet Rock, of the songs Nemo and How's the Heart, where we discover that he is also a great guitar player, as if this guy was not multi-talented enough as it is.
Awesome reaction and congratulations to 10k!
Loving your break down very interesting
Ahh Marko's smile when they all come in... Melts ya heart lol. A great great performance... Love marko singing and awesome that he took the lead.
Trust me good sir. You need to set the 21 minutes aside to listen to The Greatest Show on Earth @ Tampere. Taking your musical appreciation and seeing you react to that piece is something I'd watch over and over.
You know you've done something right when you can afford to have Floor Jansen on backing vocals.
I think the mix was great to be honest, it was his song to shine and she just went totally backup singer for him. No egos in nightwish :)
And honestly, that's what this is all about. Different opinions are fine because all of it is subjective at the end of the day. The band knows this and that's why they're awesome in my books. Thanks for supporting the channel!
I appreciate the music theory stuff - it also makes you different from all the other reactors concentrating on the vibe only or the singing specifically. Keep it up!
definitely please do the guitar lesson for this song.....to be honest, i started to learn guitar because of this performance! ha. anyway, great reaction and personally i'm quite interested in some music theory you've brought out. that's cool. thank you.
THanks so much for supporting this channel! Here's a secret: The three most powerful things any musician can know are: Intervals, Modes and Circle of 5ths.
Even if you aren't amazing at any of them, just knowing their basic ideas will improve your musicianship 10 fold!
If it wasn't already answered... the wind instrument was a Low D whistle. Irish whistles go from tiny high G, to your common D, C, and Bb, to your huge "Low" G, E / F, and D. Basically it's an end-blown flute.
Ahhh thank you for this reaction!😍 I don’t even okay guitar but I’ll watch the chord video if you decide to do it😂🙈 Nightwish- A song of myself is a must😌🙏🏻
Great revues I like how you explain the way the music is played . I dont know where you are these guys were in Edmonton at the jubilee theater 3 or 4 years ago I was not able to get to the concert, but i'm hoping they come back soon.
Ty love this song great reaction
Did you just now realize that Marco....a 20 year veteran of Nightwish AND his own band...is a good "guitarist"? .....wow that was quick ;)
Great video. Thx :)
100% Viking Blood, as they're born into that Heritage Homeland!
I'm sticking with you because you do include music theory. So many do not. This is a wonderful teaching technique and venue. Keep up the great work. You will stand out as a reactionist due to taking the time and teaching. Great job.
Welcome to Nightwish Army
The venue, Tampere - 'Tam-peh-reh', emphasis on the first syllable.
Please, keep talking about music theory, chords, instruments, and anything else musical during your reactions. It's refreshing. There's enough vocal coaches tackling the singing and not enough music-savvy folk telling us all these interesting things about what's going on behind the vocals! Love your reaction videos :)
How about this? ruclips.net/video/NOXQGCcIVRg/видео.html
@@TempleMusicAcademy Brilliant. I love it!
If you do decide to learn this I would love to see it. Much respect man, stay safe
Thank you so much for the great analytical content! Your videos are very enjoyable to watch and it's always nice to see observative and open-minded people appreciating the same type of things I do. Now I must disagree about the time change: I think it's 6/8 throughout the whole song, Marco is just accenting the strumming with quadruplet quarter notes? His phrasing in the vocals also adds a bit of syncopation on top of that. Overall, it's a nice layered rhythm, which is kind of the bread and butter of many folk styles in Europe (and almost everywhere :D). I totally agree with you about his guitar tone and playing, the "acoustic" kind of sound usually never works like this on an electric guitar. Keep it up, I had to subscribe :)
Absolutely love this reaction!! Thank you for the music lessons. I would love for you to do the video on the guitar playing.
kaboom! ruclips.net/video/NOXQGCcIVRg/видео.html
The idea of that chord video and more music theory are immensely cool 😁🤘🏻 it would be awesome
Wintersun is another phenomenal band, check Sons of Winter and Stars-live rehearsal Sonic Pump Studios 🤩
Yes please, here is the link for it
ruclips.net/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/видео.html
I am sure you will appreciate and find it interesting
A nice twist, the current Nightwish drummer Kai Hahto is (was?) also in this band.
The recommended song is much heavier and a "bit" faster.. wount say more, you need to check yourself ;)
And there is a drumcam version if you still have energy to check the work needed from drummer on that piece...
m.ruclips.net/video/3CZYhO7vZlo/видео.html
Even you are more guitar guy I am sure you will appreciate as a some late nite snack and check Kai Hahto's warmup routine video.
This just a tease , no need to react
m.ruclips.net/video/3CZYhO7vZlo/видео.html
One of my favorite songs of all time.
PLEASE do ”Greatest show on earth”!! Live in Tampere
I've never seen anyone so hype about music theory. I love it.
it's funny how you mentioned this song would be nice to play around a campfire... on the official video there's a campfire - but it's around them instead LOL cheers!
When your backup singer is Floor .... epic.
you might also enjoy Nightwish - How's The Heart Acoustic (Planet Rock acoustic session)
Marko studied classic guitar, vocals and music theory at high school. And Try is playing a Low Whistle.
The backup singer is really good! 😝
