    Marko is 5'11". Floor clocks in at 6'1". Emppu is 5"3" which is why everyone else seems so tall. But, don't let Emppu's size fool you, he has a black belt in judo.

      I stand just over 5'6 so maybe thats why that type of bass seems so big to me

      And Tuomas, the keyboardist/composer, is 6'2". But Floor used to perform in 3-4" heels, so....

      Marko and Floor did a Christmas song together at a Christmas show that the Finnish bands celebrate every year, and at the end Marko actually leans his head onto Floor’s shoulder. She’s just that bit taller.

    A great song with Floor soaring legato over Marcos gritty staccato.
    Notice how Floor does a little growl at one point, while being slinky and sultry in other parts.
    In Floors part I particularly like the bit after the childrens' choir where she goes into the long high note starting absolutely straight and gradually adding vibrato. Masterful vibrato and breath control.
    This is from the Imaginaerum album and this show is part of the Imaginaerum tour
    To go with this there is a full length Nightwish feature film also of the same name. Dark but compelling, with the band taking roles throughout
    That film gives context for the album and the songs on it - watch it!
    For example, here, the flight of the snowman in the film reaches a section where the ghost river comes into view.
    When the album came out, Tuomas said:m 'life is the ultimate privilege; a river filled with wonders and horrors. Love, sorrow, beauty, evil and temptation, and we need them all to survive and enjoy the journey. Good, Evil, Pain and Pleasure'
    The chanting of the Young Musicians London choir cast Marco as the Pied Piper luring children into the darkness.
    Marco's role in the film references Snow White and bridge-dwelling trolls; Anette takes a motherly tone, insisting to 'never lose your heart' as she begs us to come across; Floor translates this better and can really act the temptress.
    In an interview with an Italian metal magazine, Tuomas described the two characters as "the devil and mother Gaia'.
    Ostensibly about the Devil and Mother Gaia, it is a metaphor for the River of Life and all its temptations.
    Tuomas doesnt often use the standard popular song format - he is often more free form in order to tell the story as his lyrics are usually a story.
    The guitar part is quite complex in fact, so much so that Jeff over at Stratele Studios did a 2 part video on just that part.
    In a similar story vein, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018 if you have not done it yet.
    Floor is 6'0" though some will tell you 6'1" (wrongly): according to herself in a Fan Friday video she is over 2m tall (she was taking the mick because she is asked so often). But she does often wear 4" heels on stage.

    Another awesome reaction, Old Man Metal Dude. This entire Wacken 2013 concert is legendary from opener to closer. Not that they haven't done many amazing concerts since then... Wembley 2015, Tampere2015, Masters of Rock 2016, Buenos Aires 2018, Hellfest 2022, and Deichbrand 2022 among many others. Keep these great Nightwish live reactions coming.

    What did you think about Floor’s growls? Tuomas works with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, along with their adult, & children’s choirs! There are some videos of them doing some work with them on You Tube!

    I'll enjoy your meeting Marko's custom-made combo bass and guitar he named The Beast. It doesn't show up often; he says it weighs twice as much.

  • @chriso6719
    @chriso6719 5 месяцев назад +9

    Tuomas said the song is a duel between the Devil and Mother Gaia. Anette era song from the 2011 Imaginaerum album
    What is Marko doing now? One of his recent releases is a song called "Left On Mars" feat Tarja.
    Multi instrumentalist Troy Donockley is doing the male vocals for Nightwish currently. You've only heard him in the new song. To see him check out "I Want My Tears Back" live from Buenos Aires 2018 (Decades DVD, released in 2019).

    In answer to your question,, Floor and Troy have been doing Marko's parts now that he has gone. Troy also did some backing vocals and a couple of lead roles in this period also. He doesn't appear in every song, so Im not sure if you've seen him yet. (You mentioned the new song, and yes, that's him at the end of Perfume of the Timeless. He was the ghost waving his hand at the moths. 😂.)

    If you heard the short growl, it's by Floor.
    And I must say this since it always comes to my mind when I see and hear you. If there ever will be a movie of Lemmy Kilmister, you should be doing Lemmy. Soooo lookalike :-)

    Nightwish has such a varied musical style. It take a few songs to understand the overall picture and concept of this band. Not all about metal aggression. Just music and melodies in many styles. You should check out a live double shot from 2022. I think you would appreciate it.
