Check out our reaction to the Pink Floyd Original Here: ruclips.net/video/DyGyzeAOiTI/видео.html&ab_channel=BeardsReact
as a life long pink floyd fan, usually i find covers of pink floyd songs are blasphemous, but i always will be blown away by this one, you need not worry, i think most pink floyd fans love this version and have great respect for what nightwish have done, you can even tell nightwish have great respect for pink floyd,
Old Metal/rock head here. Been a fan of Pink Floyd over 50 years. Saw PF three times live. Been a fan of Nightwish for over 20 years. Nightwish made this a celebration and their own of High Hopes. You won’t get any flak from me, both bands you don’t just listen to their music you experience them! Good job Rock On Stay Safe!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nightwish for sure made it their own ..an awesome tribute to a legendary band
Hey, long time no see
@@nimwey7701 NIMWEY BABY ...HOW ARE YOU ...DID TOM STOP HIS CHANNEL OR SOMETHING ???
could have mentions Empu. A massive part of this song is the solo
He absolutely killed it, I think this was his best work I can think of even?!
🇬🇧 Norfolk division reporting for duty.
The drums bring this song to life and boy Marco Marco Marco,
Emmpu shows what a great guitarist he is .
This a tribute to Pink Floyd by Nightwish. Marko is AUSUMN!!❤🤘🤘 They all are !!❤ Nightwish rules! Thanks for your great reaction.
awesome is the word
@@justy303 YES, it is...😂🤭now I noticed myself that I have been misspelling it the whole time....not embarrassing at all!!😂😂 thanks for noticing😁👍
This is a tribute not a cover and David Gilmour approved it , so much so he posted it on his twitter account when it came out .
This is so bittersweet to me because of the obvious reason ( marko) also i was hoping one day i could see Marko and Floor perform this song together !!!
Wow, didn't know that. ♥️ (That Gilmour also shared it in his Twitter)
To me, Marko's voice carries this song and makes it superior to the Pink Floyd version. PF's version is a bit too mellow for me, and Nightwish's version just hits me harder. Both are great though.
During my stoner days as a teenager Pink Floyd was my go to music to chill and it takes me on this enjoyable journey. But since I've been introduced to Nightwish I've gone down a similar journey minus the drugs of course. I found with Nightwish even though they are heavier the poetry and lyrics are out of this world the music mixed with an Orchestral back ground takes you on a journey add two Amazing vocalists perfection in my books.
I can only say, a Tribute from one awesome Band to another awesome Band. 🤘
Yepp what else can you say
@@louisminten7889 🤘greetings friend
You guys WERE mesmerized by this, as was I!
This is actually NW's tribute to Pink Floyd - they recognize as we all do the greatness of Pink Floyd. I also love both renditions. Marko is killing it with his vocals, Emppu with his guitar solos, Jukka (who had migraine, why you see Emppu standing on his podium at point to check on him - as he always do during concert with his colleagues and friends) is killing it on drums - and Tuomas, on keyboards, well, what can I say? Fantastic job from NW.
Can't be somber when Marko is singing , it doesn't matter what the song is. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love you Marko!!!
No drooling on the floor, this is the Tarja era, "End of an Era",
she was backstage for this one.
A lot of extra angst, you can really feel it between the guys
(they had co-written a dismissal letter to Tarja,
they all knew, she didn't, until after this concert).
Did you notice the glare from Tuomas and when he nods his head
(to Emppu? "take care of Jukka" the drummer, who was feeling bad).
Marko, "the grass is greener", "with friends around me".
I love this version. Great reaction, killer song.
Nightwish leads to Floor leads to Henk Port leads to Disturbed leads to Sound of Silence. You will get there.
But if you like music you stop at Henk Port and never listen to that shit called disturbed.
@@js0988 Disturbed? A cover? lol
P.S. Henk Port has been the duet partner of Floor Jansen at the TV-show Best Singers/"Beste Zangers" 2019, where they both were smashing "The Phantom of the Opera". Earlier that show he did another amazing cover of the Disturbed version of "Sound of Silence". Both highly recommended and byproducts on your Nightwish journey, because of Floor Jansens participation in that show of course.
@@js0988 Think you just don't appreciate all aspects of music styles. Disturbed is amazing band and their music is great.
Henk Poort not Port
Well Nightwish is my favorite band but Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands so there is no need to argue which is better, both are amazing in their own way :) I was lucky enough in life to hear both of these versions live by both Nightwish (in 2004 during the Once Upon a Tour) and Pink Floyd (in 1994 during the Division Bell tour). Every time I think about that it sounds surreal. What is even crazier is that I caught Jukka's drumstick at the end of the concert, it's still here near me and I air drum with it sometimes while watching or listening to Nightwish :)
I love this tribute. Maybe you can check out more from this concert? It was in 2005 at Tarja's last gig (she was the first singer). I suggest Planet Hell - it is a killer song.
Yes! And "Wishmaster" 🤩
Don't forget Phantom of the Opera, please!
And Kinslayer 🤘
Most bands would kill to have a singer like Marko and they have Floor too !!
Thank you for this reaction.
This is an old video from 2004 "End of an Era" dvd. This was the final show with their 1st vocalist, Tarja. There are some calm Nightwish songs. Marko sing one song in every show usually. This gives Floor or Tarja a chance to rest vocally and do a outfit change. Nightwish likes to think of this as a tribute to Floyd. Well done guys. What is next? So much more to experience. "Devil and the Deep dark Ocean", from Buenos Aires 2018?
Did you guys know that according to Finnish tradition. Santa actually lives in Northern Finland, which called Lapland.
The Finnish equivalent for Father Christmas, Santa Claus, St. Nicholas etc, is joulupukki, who has his origin in the pagan Nordic shaman tradition of people dressing up in animal disguises.
Joulupukki was once a symbol of fertility and more of a frightening figure back then than today. He was clad in thick fur-lined coat turned inside out, wearing a mask and a pair of horns on his head. The name joulupukki literally means "Christmas buck" (billy-goat).
Just a little Finnish cultural trivia. Our image of Santa is much more recent (18th century).
This is an old video from 2004 "End of an Era" dvd.?? - sorry no, that is wrong ....this is a video taken from a cocert in October 2005. The DVD-Album was edited with the name "End of an Era" in 2006
The PF version is dreamy, the NW version is haunting🤓🇾🇪
And the Vikings discovered America, remember?😄
I'd say PF's version is melancholy in addition to dreamy.
Marko ❤️ He sure is precious and rare ❤️❤️ My goal is to see him live one day 😍🔥😭😭😭 and check more about his songs. He has been busy doing solo stuff and featuring many artist. He really is pioneer in metal scene here in Finland. He also won Masked Singer last year 😁
Phantom of the opera from this same concert, Marco Tarja sing together ❤ 🎶. Marco kills it.
not sure if someone mentioned this but nightwish “the islander” live at tampere. an absolutely BEAUTIFUL mellow song with mainly marco showing once again just how amazing he is
Thanks again for this experience with you guys!
This is so GREAT,
MARCO'S VOICE together
with TUOMAS, JUKKA AND
EMPPU By NIGHTWISH🤘
are AMAZING ❤️ ALWAYS🔥
I LOVE THIS SONG 🎶
Thank You so much
Love from the Netherlands
❤️ 🤍 💙 🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️
Before anyone gets a chance to say it (because someone undoubtedly will): Jukka the drummer did NOT have a migraine during this show/performance, that's a weird urban legend born on RUclips.
And now for some background that will give this performance a different feel: this was their final show with their first lead vocalist, Tarja Turunen. She wasn't aware of it at the time, but the guys were, which gave the entire show a certain vibe which basically culminated in this performance here. They used to play a cover song with Marco taking lead while Tarja took a breather and changed clothes (other picks during this tour being WASP's 'Wild Child', Ozzy's 'Crazy Train' and Megadeth's 'Symphony of Destruction' IIRC) and this song wasn't a coincidental choice. The atmosphere in the arena during this song in particular was something I still can't put into words and sometimes I can't even watch this or any of the other performances from the show without getting that same heavy, uneasy feeling.
😅 Finally someone agree with me! I think too it's just a rumor.
@@helky8 I'm certain it is. No one ever talked about it anywhere before sometime in last year after some speculation based on the way Jukka is hunched over his drums. Just goes to show how quickly misinformation can spread as gospel truth.
@@Darnaguen yes, and when you watch more their shows you can see he does that often. And there isn't really any mention about it in any interview.
I have always found this version of High Hopes is more angry and yearning at the same time, it is a very different song to Pink Floyds original, what it really proves is they are amazing musicians
Now you have seen the difference between a cover vs a tribute. Even the lighting crew paying homage.
Every time i hear and see Emppu's solo in this one 8-bit graphics start to roll in my head :D
The Pink Floyd version is a reflective and somber song lamenting the loss of innocence and wonder as time passes and you get older. The Nightwish tribute version Is more like an emotionally driven eulogy for the death of innocence, wonder, and the simpler times of youth and youthful enthusiastic wonder. Hope that comes off right and makes sense
I agree. Marco makes it sound like he is bitter, almost angry and depressed for the loss wonder and fun that childhood had. Not just remembering how things were, but hoping one could ride that high again, but knowing you can't.
Nightwish always plays to master level, no matter if they play their own song or cover. Or do they make their own song a "cover song" :D
You just got proof of their musical abilities!
My thoughts on Nightwish doing a cover of their own song. I can see the song "The Islander" in my mind. If you watch the official music video first and then the live version of Tampere 2015. You understand what I mean by that ... :D
It is also sung and composed by Marko. The lyrics have been done by Tuomas.
Emppu always shines, but we got to see it more in this one, IMO. Thanks!
Would love you guys to react to “ slaying the dreamer” by nightwish . Very underrated song . There’s no bad N/w songs…..😎👍🇦🇺
I find both versions carry sadness. The PF original is melancholic and whimsical sadness. The NW tribute is distraught, and a little bitter (given the backstory, VERY fitting).
People are going to like whatever they like, but they've gotta respect both versions! 🤘
Marko Hietala was the bassist and vocalist for Nightwish from 2001 to early 2021. Hietala is also a singer, bassist and songwriter in the Finnish band Tarot. He also played with the bands Sinergy, Northern Kings, Conquest and the cover band Metal Gods. He also performs a lot as a guest star in Ayreon, Delain etc.
Hietala has been playing guitar and bass since she was 12 years old. He studied classical guitar, singing and music theory at a college for three years. He then studied bass guitar and music theory at a conservatory for another two years.
There are more Nightwish songs played without the singer like: "Master Passion Greed" and/or "Last of the Wilds"
It was agreed that at least one song would be played instrumentally so that the leading singer could withdraw for dressing up and/or other lady affairs.
New subscriber, Masshole checking in. Grew up on Pink Floyd, discovered Nightwish in the early 2000's. Both are absolutely amazing bands. I've been lucky enough to have seen Roger Waters live, been sitting on Nightwish tickets since before the lockdown shenanigans started. I just binged all of your Nightwish reactions, gotta go back and do Floyd and Tool hahaha
Keep it up guys! Love seeing you guys discovering some amazing music!
This is their tribute to the music of Pink Floyd.
Perfection for me.
It honored the original, but powered up the emotion and feel.
One of my fav tributes/covers ever.
Also if it had been mentioned before I believe that this song was the same concert where at the end they handed their singer Tarja the letter to tell her to get lost basically so nobody was feeling very good or happy and on top of that the drummer Jukka was suffering start from a severe migraine and I don’t know if you’ve ever had a major headache or migraine but you can visibly see his pain how he managed to pound away of the drums I don’t know in my hats off to them and you can see at one point during the song that Thomas looks over towards the guitarist Empuu and he kind of cocks his head kind of tell him to go check on the drummer I think that is just so phenomenal these people really care about each other and it comes through their music and how they interact it’s just amazing
Great bands, both.
Great Cover by Nightwish ! Pink Floyd has always been my favorite band. Loved both versions .This is the best cover i have heard of any Pink Floyd song. Great Work Guys =) Could y'all check out Pink Floyds - The Nile Song with Lyrics - This was written in 1967 and probably the first heavy metal song. I can't think of any earlier than this !
Simply put: I love BOTH the original and the NW's version. NW did not cover, they made a tribute.
Keep them coming guys, enjoying your love of NW, as we do. With good reviews I can be happy with, “tenth time reacting to …… “!
Both Nightwish and Pink Floyd are two of my Favorite bands. Glad you chose to watch these. I enjoy both versions. Nightwish did a good job of respecting the song yet adding their own contribution. Would’ve liked Jukka having a big bell. The keyboard bells felt a little “small” for the heaviness of the rest of the song.
I think it’s time to see Nightwish’s heavier, more ‘metal’ side, and listen to Romanticide from the Wacken show.
Nightwish occasionally do covers in concert. Not many, if any, studio recordings. You can find Marko singing live Ozzy’s Crazy Train, and Megadeth’s Symphony of Destruction out on RUclips as well. Keep enjoying your Nightwish journey. I’ll be watching.
Great tribute version. Emppu’s guitar sounds heavenly
SKYRIM!! Lol. Loved the reaction my friends 😎
How many bands can pull it of like this when you take away the main vocalist? Love the love, keep it up!
Hi beards, glad that you solved the issue with the audio volume, at least now I can hear what you are saying (though a tiny bit louder would not hurt my ears). Rock on.
What a Tribute to this awesome song !!!
Nightwish doing Nightwish things 🤘😎🤘.
Tuomas IS the metal mozart .
And on top of that , Jukka (Drummer) had severe headache in this , but show must go on...
NWSU.
I don't care what anybody says, this is Nightwish's song now.
Probably my favourite Floyd cover,they do a decent job😊👍
I've always loved the PF original since the 90's, but this is somehow on another level. Never heard a better "cover" from Nightwish.
I'm an old PF fan, and I LOVE this version, maybe more than the PF version, and the original version has some life meaning to me (as music often can) but this is so good, and now sad making because I miss Marco (though i got a bit of a fix with the new Watari vid with him)
The Boone structure, the desisive carrier of this performance is the drumming
This is from 2005 way before Floor
Yup i remember. But Floor has better voice and makes the band even better.
Pink Floyd is my all-time favorite band and, as much as I love the original song, I have to say I prefer Nightwish’s take on it. If you want to hear a calm song from Nightwish, try either The Islander, live at Tampere, or While Your Lips Are Still Red, live at Wembley.
Great reaction 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey. If you want a calm Nightwish song, then you should definitely check out Sleeping sun live show Tampere, Finland 2015, awesome 👌
Thanks!!!
I told you guys you didn't want to miss this
Nightwish Army UK popping in to see my 2 fave bands squished in to one amazing song, nice reaction
I like your choice of word there, PF's version is more somber while this is more haunting.
Well i still can not believe Marco quited this year. Really Fkn huge footsteps to fit in for the new Basist/Vocalist in the Band.
They call it a tribute, not a cover.
Intensity? Yes, more powerful, more emotional, more yes intense.
As a 50+ year PF fan, I prefer this version.
Calm song from Nightwish: Sleeping Sun live at Tampere 2015
Have you heard the cover their crew did during covid? It sure was fun 😁
@@helky8 Crewish did some good stuff 👍
@@NickBR57 indeed 😁
And Tuomas was only 27 when he put this together with the band of course. 👩🏻🎤👩🏻🎤👩🏻🎤
Fkn awsome!! said Paarthurnax.
Hehehe! Try to pause it in the middle, good luck with that was my thought... This version can't be paused :D nice reaction, keep up the good job!
I would never listen to a cover of Pink Floyd or Nightwish in my life, because both bands are the measure of all things in their genre. But when Nightwish interprets a song by Pink Floyd or Pink Floyd a song by Nightwish, then it's 100% a new masterpiece.
This was from the "End of a Era" Concert, everyone on stage, has agreed to fire Night wishes first singer, Tarja, she does not know, and is taking a break while this performance is going on. This ratchet up the intensity and passion on stage as there is a lot of band drama going on and 2/3s of the people on stage are also ill with the flu and or medical conditions.
I like this version better.
But yes I am a Nightwish fan.🤘😁
Great reaction as always. Just a small word of advice though as you go on with Nightwish videos; I've been noticing that you guys tend to quit the video as soon as the actual song ends. It's usually a good idea especially with Nightwish videos to watch them until the last second as many times there's still a lot of interesting stuff to see and sometimes there are actually parts that belong to the song coming after credits etc. Like in The Greatest Show On Earth for example. :)
You two can’t stop anymore…..addicted
I agree, Jack Black has a similar tone in the lower register.
You notice how Pink floyd doesnt need to copy other bands, other bands tend to copy Pink floyd. And thats why they are Pink Floyd. And thats why they are the best
I watched this again and it looked like dude on left died , went to Marko heaven and came back.
A calm sound from nightwish would be The Islander i think.
Pure passion !
So are you guys ready for some VIKING Marko? Stones from his solo album Pyre of the Black Hearts, live version.
Cool with the double reaction, good job! Going to watch the reaction now ;)
Nice!
You should check out nightwish kiss while your lips are still red live at Wembley
Nice NW reactions! The band is endless reaction video fountain. 👍 If you like to be amazed even higher level of vocal talent you should definately check out propably the best male vocalist of the world at this moment: Dimash Kudaibergen singing the song ”SOS” at Slavic Bazaar. Just saying after Floor you might think its not even possible to top that…. 🤟🤗
I love Pink Floyd, but I have to say that the Nightwish edition of High Hopes is better than the original 🙂
Its a tribute not a cover but harder that they made their own
If you did this then the Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley Arena might be the one to react to next.
As you have read by now - this concert was loaded with a lot of emotion. It was after this show the band handed Tarja Turunen the infamous Open Letter where they basically terminated her from the band. Somewhere in time somebody surely has stated that break -ups generate the best books, poems and in this case songs.
A few pointers however:
Do your research.
React to the Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley Arena with lyrics.
And bring drinks, food and tissues. It's a long emotiona ride.
Nice one guy's. Love this track. Shame you stopped it before Marco's thankyou at the end. They often finish their tracks with a little something at the end.
Shout out to the Hurricanes 🤘🤘🤘🤘
There are no egos in Nightwish. Jukka was suffering with a Migraine. Marco is a great singer and you guys should do some songs from Marco's solo album. I like the song Stones and Wings of Darkness from his 1st band Tarot. They have one from 1986 and then 25 yrs.later.
Nightwish certainly made this song their own. Floor also did this to Lady Gaga's Shallow. She was on a Dutch show called Beste Zangers where 7 singers sing each others songs or songs that were important to them. Floor did a version of Shallow for Emma Heesters a RUclips singers. Better than Lady Gaga in my opinion and not how you would expect. ruclips.net/video/Ff33IIjohTo/видео.html
Marko with his old Tarot band in their 'Heavy Metal on ice' consert singing "Guardian Angel" and "Things that crawl at night" are also worth checking out if you liked this song 🤗: ruclips.net/video/8EsHGBW_uU8/видео.html
😊🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨👍👍
You need to know another female singer from europe. In my opinion and taste, the best introduction to her are this song: Corpo-Mente Ort , live studio version
Must be this on the start. You will realize why.
It's both Progrock, but more a dramatic, emotional version of Nightwish
Good reaction. Just one complaint. Please allow videos to finish. There was still 5 seconds left and you missed something.
Btw if you want to hear the original singer of Nightwish Tarja try Within Temptation Paradise pretty awesome song more symphonic metal with another female lead Sharon den Adel. Here's the link ruclips.net/video/Dy6MpsDPKts/видео.html
There probably won't be a fight among NW fans and PF fans because they are close to a circle on Venn diagram, the same people.
And Jack Black is great.
Have you resactet to the Nightwish cover version of "The Phantom Of The Opera"?
