⏩Video Question: If you could only have one Nightwish song be performed live at your birthday party... which would it be??
For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony
One is simply not enough... "Dark Chest of Wonders" to start the party, "Slaying the Dreamer" somewhere in there as a personal favorite, adding "Planet Hell" and "The Greatest Show On Earth", on full blast so all the neighbors can enjoy it, including the "We Were Here!" chants. Finishing off with CD 2 of Human Nature to cool things down.
Anything, I've never seen them in person.(bucket list). Someone has probably mentioned it to you before, you're favorite Nightwish song is the one you are listening to.🤘🤘
Elan
It would have to be this song or "I want my tears back"
That's tough- Just one? It'd probably "Everdream"
A couple years ago, Nightwish hit my playlist. Today, it pretty well IS my playlist.
I couldn't have said it better...
I concur
I concur
I concur.
Same has happened to me but only 6 months ago 👍😊😍
Oh man this will be amazing to watch.
Now THIS is how you open a show.
Nightwish at Wacken Open Air 2013 is probably one of the best concerts ever recorded period. Check it out yourself the whole gig is on YT. I saw them live 3 wks back, they are awesome🤘🏽
My favorite part of this is Floor's entrance, as it was the opening song and she hadn't been with the band for very long. If you watch closely, Emppu and Marko cross in front of her as she approaches, in my mind like they were pulling the curtains open for their new singer! They crossed exactly in front of her entrance! Love it!!
Please react to Epica - Consign to Oblivion - Live at the Zenith. You need to see what other symphonic metal you are missing out on!
Yes we need some Epica up in here
I concur
Yes
That video goes live in 2 days
We know we love the songs, you explain why we do!
There is SO much going on in Tuomas’ mind when he composes these gems - the music, the lyrics, the message of the song, every musician’s individual talent, stage effects & crowd involvement.
Each song is an individual masterpiece!
Nice way to open a big show, eh? This band amazes me every time I watch a performance, even if it's for the 100th time. Thanks for another great reaction!
Yes, that is how you open a show and introduce your new singer. First time most in this crowd had seen Floor sing with Nightwish, as she had taken over mid tour and most of that time was in North and South America. Jukka's last show was about a week or so later.
The song was also the opener at the 2005 'End of an Era' show in Helsinki with Tarja.
When you see a 'J' ,assume it is pronounced as a 'Y'. Jukka( Yukka), Tarja (Tar-ya) etc...
Since you are addicted to symphonic metal, you should check out EPICA. The Skeleton Key, Consign to Oblivion, Beyond the Matrix, and more.
second try, appears RUclips deleted my first comment.
@@chriso6719 That's what YT does Chris, the B's. Glad you reposted it because it's good comment 👍
@@NickBR57 🤘🤘
Then there's that one asshole in the straw hat
If you add up the concerts from her first Seattle one, by the time she hit wacken, it was her 46th concert with the band. That's why wacken sounds so polished. There was 2 more concerts after wacken to finish up the tour.
Tuomas wrote the score for the graphic novel "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" and the film "Imaginaerum". Very good stuff.
Oh that's awesome
@@DrumRollTonyReacts "Life and Times....", won an Eisner, the comic industry's equivalent of an Oscar, for creator Don Rosa.
Actually that is another track worth listening to, definitely not in the same genre but IMHO another masterpiece. And Tuomas's wife is singing in that one :)
Edit: I mean this one: ruclips.net/video/JWwSVOo5K_k/видео.html
Heck, I bet Toumas couldn't believe his luck when he had secured the services of the phenomenal Floor Jansen, the only woman capable of taking Nightwish to the next level. Long live Floor with Nightwish and the return of Marco one day if and when the time is right 🙏
The biggest wow isnt that he found Floor.
Its that he first had Tarja and then ALSO found Floor.
Getting ONE of them are astronomical odds.
Getting both is astronomical squared.
How does that even happen?
@@F1rstWorldNomaD Divine intervention 🙏😊👍
Ive seen comments, but I don't know if he (Tuomas) really said it - but I think the consense (at least within the Nightwish community) is, that if Floor ever leaves Nightwish, it will be the end of Nightwish.
And to be fair - I agree. Floor is one - if not the - most versatile singers on this planet at the moment. Keeping the history of the band in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if Tuomas really couldn't handle another change of vocalist and just call it quits if Floor ever decides to leave.
But lets go further into this mindset and enjoy what Nightwish gives - but also gave us - over the past years and decades - and hope for more amazing to come in the future.
I know you don't do lyrics much Tony, but maybe this might help for this and later Nightwish material; Tuomas writes a lot from personal experience and observation, he regularly uses pseudonyms for himself in song lyrics. He says he's a man with a boy's heart, you will see these references and the use of boy narrators in places which you'll get to, but also Poet (of course), dreamer, writer/song writer and ocean soul (he was studying to be a marine biologist).
You picked up immediately on Floors first, of many, immediate changes into head voice and back to chest in this song.
Well, the Dark Chest of Wonders did and maybe still does exist, Tuomas as a very small boy found it in his grandparents attic, full of books and wondrous toys he said that carried his imagination off to fabulous places.
Floor sings, (seen through the eyes) "of one with a pure heart" in a high head voice, much like the tone of a very excited small boy, the one with a pure heart.
There's a lot to be gained by digging into Tuomas' lyrics. . . . . . . . . . .Very metaphoric, allegorical and sometimes almost impenetrable.
This seriously superannuated, real old fart is really enjoying your stuff and the continued surprise of your Nightwish journey, I thank you for that.
Good stuff !!
Thank you for the comment. I like the info
@@DrumRollTonyReacts You are most welcome and I much appreciate the response.
I'm finally on time for one of your videos lol
And hello to brothers and sisters from the Nightwish Army 💖
This gig was right near the end of the tour, and Jukka's last performance was a smaller festival two gigs later - though nobody knew it was such at the time, not even Jukka. It was a year or so later, during the making of the next album (Endless Forms Most Beautiful) that he decided he had to bow out to concentrate on trying to tackle his debilitating insomnia. He chose to ask his friend Kai (from Wintersun) to stand in, hoping at that time it would be relatively temporary. It wasn't. Jukka's always been involved in the business side of Nightwish as a company, and still is. As an aside, as you asked, the J of his name is pronounced like Y.
Good info and thanks about the pronunciation
Confusingly the new bass player is called Jukka too.
Great reaction , Nightwish will open a new world of music it keeps getting better and better . I'm really enjoying watching you experience Symphonic Metal with Nightwish
It makes me soooo happy to see your joy when experiencing Nightwish. I have "man-sweat" comming out of my eyes because of you.
Happy journey!!
Much Love to you and Ukraine
🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
Awesome reaction Man. Go for at least one or two Nightwish reactions a week. You are fantastic to listen to. You say all the things i think when i am listening to them. They are something else. Keep up the good work Man. Greetings from Sweden
She really has the most versatile voice of all singers. She literally can sing every kind of genre and style. And still outclass some of the best in their genre.
Yes, Floor is phenomenal. Nightwish with Floor are phenomenal 🙏👍😍
miss jansen is one of the few vocalists that has the hability to set up and play with the audience really well... her energy on stage its really contageous.. she always fire up to set the crowd wild
Song #2 of Wacken 2013 is another banger and just as intense: "Wish I had an angel"
Definitely one of my favorite songs. It’s like a nonstop huge tide coming towards you. Talking about scores ……wishing
Having Nightwish play with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and bring Marco to join Floor on vocals. Leave Jukka on bass of course.
Floor makes the gesture at 2:46 "the window open wide". She opened the window to the magic that was in the air that evening. The guys immediately knew that metal history was in the making. Just look at them!
Nightwish , Ladies and Gentlemen !!! They have opened the Valhalla gates , and now the Valkyrie Goddess walks among us 🤘🤩🤘!!!
This is one of three great openings from them ("Dark Chest Of Wonders", "Shudder Before The Beautiful" and now "Music" intro followed by "Noise" ).
Needless to say, she won them over immediately, capturing their souls from the getgo and not letting go for 15 songs. The whole show is fantastic.
And ,.... Nightwish - 7 Days To The Wolves is my birthday party song 1000% !!!!
Nuff Said !!!!
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
Great reaction again. Yes, Jukka (pronounced YOO’-kuh), the original drummer of the band, definitely rared back and banged it out hard. He retired a few months after this show for health reasons related to chronic insomnia. His mentor, Kai Hahto, of Wintersun, took over for him and is still with the band. Love you doubling up on the Nightwish this week.
Love your reactions, taking it all in, it's so much and so good. The more you listen, the more you pick up on what you missed the time before. That's the beauty of Nightwish. Keep them coming please. Cheers. 🍺
Great reaction. I discovered this band 2 years ago too. As a rock and metal fan i still ask HOW? Amazing musicians, and Floor? Yes, what an entrance, what a singer, total goddess. The female Freddie Mercury, she is the only one who lives with the best ever, she is perfection too🤘🔥
Floor is phenomenal. Nightwish with with Floor are phenomenal 👍😊🙏
@@PaulOutdoors Absolutely, she is incredible, god given talent but worked very hard to fulfil that talent. I only needed a few months to declare her the greatest singer ever🤘🔥
@@gazren3075 Yes the greatest ever Gaz.. Without a doubt 👍😊🙏
Great reaction! Floor's first introduction to Nightwish's huge European fan base. Prior to this show Flor had mainly performed with them on their North and South America leg of the Imaginaerum tour. Many of the fans knew her from her bands After Forever and ReVamp and had high expectations so the buzz in the crowd was pretty amazing. She came out and just killed it and cemented her place in the heart of Nightwish fans. Nightwish does release instrumental versions of some of their songs, usually as a second disc on some of their package deals. If you really want to exploer Tuomas's orchestral chops the you should checkout All the Works of Nature which Adorn the World. It is disc 2 of their most recent album, Human :][: Nature and is a 30 minute orchestral piece with 8 movements. It is absolutely gorgeous and the last movement, Ad Astra, has a spoken word section from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot that will make you think and hit you in the feels. Best watched/listened with the unofficial music video by Sensei Music Videos that Tuomas has blessed. Such a beautifully matched visuals and music.
I have yet to see Nightwish live, but from what I've seen from the recorded stuff, Floor has the best stage presents I've ever seen.
They do have instrumental versions of a lot of their songs. I have a playlist of just them, it's really great being able to focus in on just the music without the vocals distracting you.
Poet and the Pendalum is so beautiful as an instrumental. The cello ❤
The collective cheering of 80k people in the beginning is severely chill-inducing. Imagine going on stage to perform to that... that's half a city's worth of people who've gathered to watch you do your thing...
Thanks for this great reaction and anaysis !
You really should react to songs from the Hellfest 2022 concert, like "Shoemaker" and "Last Ride of the Day" it's available on RUclips 🙂
sancta terra has a 70 piece orchestra and a choir ON STAGE.
She enters and the whole place is about to explode!! If that is not CHARISMA, I don't know what else is.
My fav moment of this opening song: at 2:35 (your video) Marko and Emppu make a scissor movement to let Floor enter the stage as to introduce her to the audience. I can watch that all day❤
That is pretty sweet. I didnt see that first time around
my favourite opening song! It just makes you want to hear more and preps you for everything that is to come!!
Nightwish fans don't mind the 55 min videos (just in case you''d like to do it ;) )
Nightwish Army UP popping in to pluck a great reaction from the Dark Chest of Wonders.
Once you're hooked on Nightwish ...you're hooked.
'Nuff said.
I can almost see Tony trying to figure out how to do this song as a field show with his band. It would definitely be a winner.
Go on the nightwish channel and ask Tuomas .
He will let you know how to get a look as the arrangements .
Metal Mozart
Tuomas (keyboards) writes 99% of their songs. He's that fucking good
And that, my friend, is how you open an damn show!
Nightwish the greatest live band in the world no one sounds like them live or the composition of the music Jukka choose his replacement when due to his health he could no longer perform kai is a great drummer ❤ God bless
Hi again Tony. Subscriber here. Love this reaction to one of the greatest Nightwish shows ever. However, as of last Saturday night, we have a challenger to Wacken 2013 from Nightwish performing at the Deichbrand Festival 2022. They open with a fantastic drum solo by Kai Hahto (who came to Nightwish from Wintersun after Jukka departed due to insomnia). By the way, the new Jukka (Koskinen) also came to them from Winterson to replace Marko on bass. Nightwish at Pinkpop 2022 was good. Hellfest 2022 was great. But Nightwish at NIGHT at the Deichbrand Festival 2022 set a new all-time standard. The audio and video at this concert are better quality than Wacken 2013 or any other Nightwish concert. Floor and the entire band were at the very top of their game before another huge crowd. New songs, old favorites, and a swag that is unmatched. Floor Jansen, our Valkyrie goddess, is holding her closing notes longer and better than ever. Absolute perfection. Here’s the link:
ruclips.net/video/qf6SLHlZslg/видео.html
And the setlist:
0:00 Music Drum Solo
1:30 Noise
6:57 Planet Hell
11:40 Tribal
15:50 Elan
20:23 Storytime
26:00 How’s The Heart
31:05 Dark Chest of Wonders
41:14 Nemo
46:37 Sleeping Sun
51:08 Shoemaker
56:30 Last Ride of the Day
1:01:20 Ghost Love Score
1:12:30 The Greatest Show On Earth
1:24:18 Ad Astra (Finally! The whole outro)
I saw them in May (Lowell, MA), much smaller venue but nobody sat down for 2 hours!
hahahaha right after the modulation and after hearing the additional choir at the end, i saw your face and i started typing "tell me you didn't got the chills" and you literally said "ouh i got the chills" xD
Finally someone who actually genuinely reacts and not overexaggerates for clout. Stay yourself Sir, salute.
Thank you. I appreciate that
Really enjoyed your reaction. Thank you.
I often don my plate armor and start swinging my battle axe during a Nightwish song. Scares the hell out of my cats though. As for what song at my birthday party? Why a metalized version of Happy Birthday, of course. 😉😂🤘
LMAO I'm glad ba few folks found that funny 😁
So next for some more amazing symphonic metal.... Epica "Consign to Oblivion" live at the Zenith. Awesome reactions from someone who knows what they're talking about!! Keep discovering:)
Your fans demand some Epica...
Who is when?
*This is the band (in 2013)*
- *Tuomas* (Finnish, pronounce Too-omas): bandleader/composer/keyboards since 1996
- *Floor* (Dutch, pronounced Floor): lead vocals (from angel to demon) since 2012
- *Marko* (Finnish, pronounced Marco): Bass/vocals since 2000 - 2020
- *Emppu* (Finnish, pronounced Em-poo with a short oo-sound): Guitar since 1996
- *Jukka* (Finnish, pronounced You-kah): drums since 1996 - 2015
- *Troy* (British, pronounced ....Troy...😁.): flutes/uilean pipes/guitar/vocals/whatever needs to be played since 2012.
*Now*
- *Kai* (Finnish, pronounced Kay) replaced his friend Jukka on the drums in 2015 when Jukka needed to quit touring due to insomnia
- Another *Jukka* (Finnish, pronounced You-kah) (not the drummer) is currently standing in for Marko on bass. Troy took over the vocal parts. Marko has announced he will leave public life for at least a year, but chances of Marko returning in NW are slim.
*Before*
- Singer before Floor: *Anette* (Swedish) 2005-2012
- Singer before Anette: *Tarja* (Finnish, pronounced Tar-ya) 1996-2005
- Bass player before Marko: *Sami* (Finnish, pronounced Sah-me) 1996-2000
An american would say (Kuh-I) Kay would be K-AAAAAAA
This comment is VERY helpful. Thank you
I mentioned in another video some other really great songs: The Greatest Show On Eart, The Poet and the Pendulum, The Islander and High Hopes. Poet does require some research into the history behind the song, and the latter 2 are sung by Marko. Another person posted Shoemaker from Hellfest 2022, which is definitely an experience. Floor also has different vocal styles for Storytime and GLS in that concert as it's more recent, and she's changed her vocals over the years.
A really fun song to check out is I Want My Tears Back. This one is more "folky". I'm really enjoying your reactions to Nightwish.
Hey great video. Just to mention abd answer your question. Yes, you can absolutely by scores for Nightwish albums ;)
I mean buy :D
The composer says he would like for them to play with big orchestra sometime, if they could afford it...What a monster presence Floor is on stage.
She’s really good at…everything!
I just want to point out for non musicians that this fellow clearly has a deep and solid musical education. Great ear 👍
What to me was really crazy, i didnt catch it myself, but a fellow musician poitend it out, the line "open the chest once more" runs over a minor chord during the the whole song, except the last time they do it, they put a major chord underneath....very smart !
A story telling variation on the picardy third. Epic stuff.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Yes it is, really well executed i think. Wonderful how you just get used to the sound of the minor chord, and then in the end changing to the major just gives it a feel like joy, resolve, without even noticing why, until you do the technical analyses. So jealous of these song writing wizards ;)
For some of the albums you can get a special edition with an instrumental version of the album as a bonus cd/vinyl
Beautiful...
Yes, that "Jukka's last show" version is good. Musically it doesn't differ much from this, but the video has behind the scenes clips from that tour and it's fun to watch. 😊
Most epic show starter ✅
There's a documentary out on youtube about the band putting together the album Endless forms most beautiful. It takes you from inception to the concert. It's 19 parts, they're short though. One section is just on the philharmonic orchestra. You'll see Tuomas's genius! Check it out..
Link by chance? This sounds amazing
@@DrumRollTonyReacts ruclips.net/video/kbvXn6b_yec/видео.html
Episode 8.
Floor is our Dutch Chest Of Wonders
What really caught my attention was when you mentioned Floors entrance into the song. What you probably don't know is that this was Floors entrance to EUROPE with Nightwish.
This was the first song in their setlist and it was the first time ever that Floor had performed with the band on European soil.
So that's why in other songs from Wacken you can see the audience is literally, actually stunned after some of her belts. They had not seen her before.
How many songs into the setlist do you imagine it would take for you to "accept" her as the new vocalist if you had been - at that point - a fan of Nightwish for lets say 15+ years? I might say 5 or 6 songs, because song #5 was Ever Dream, and #6 was Storytime. I think she'd have melted me with those if not before.
!!! That's good info. Thanks
Another great reaction 😀😀 Love this song, great opener to the entire show 🤘
😁🇫🇮❤️🎶🎹🎤🎸🥁🌞🤘
And a long version, ty👍
Edit. HellJesh Jukkas last one 🤘🥁🥁🎶✨💙
Tony, the nightwish documentary is called: Nightwish-Making of a new album 2015; The Cabin (Official Trailer)
It'll go from there. It's the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album. Enjoy!
I would love to see them perform The Phantom of the opera again!
They have released songbooks but I don't know much more about that. I guess those don't include orchestral parts..
On albums (at least digipak/earbook editions) there's in many cases a second CD which is just the instrumental part of songs and on Endless Forms Most Beautiful there's third CD which is just the orchestral parts.
You did pronounce Jukka very well!
Jukka (Yu-kah) is seriously not human. His speed and power is unlike anyone else.
🤩👍💥💯
Power, Power and more power with fully on!
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
"Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 🇫🇮
Jukka was Nightwish's full drummer, but he was absent from several shows because he has back problems.
They do release scores sometimes. For Imaginarium, they sold 2 discs : song and scores.
Suggestion for the next reaction: The Poet and the Pendulum. In my opinion it is the best composed song by Nightwish. Especially the Mexico City concert. It has 14 minutes but I guarantee it's worth every second
Most people prefer the Wembley version right? But yes it is a masterpiece
Great song people Generally ask the reaactor to wait for that one tho .
@@nextgame4059 Yes, but clearly I'm not part of the majority. So for me the Mexico City version is superior to Wembley
He talks about how brilliant the writing it is and bringing things together.. Can't wait till he does the Poet and then he'll realize just how much of an under statement was today. But he's not quite ready for that song yet. He has some research to do before he's ready.
You can talk directly to me. LOL You don't need to do narrative style. What research should I check out before then?
Got your channel recommended to me and been watching some of your videos. Love the content. As a drummer yourself, it would be absolutely criminal if you didn’t check out Chris Turner - 40 Roll (or literally any other song from him). Turner is the drummer of the Metalcore band Oceans Ate Alaska. Known for his massive distaste of samples in his music, the guy is incredible and wildly precise. This is coming from someone with only a casual love of music. I’d absolutely kill to see a professional drummer take a look at his work.
Anyway, keep up the good work man.
Oh my that harmonic Emppu slipped in here 10:18 !!!
I enjoy your reactions and a bit of education. You hear things I don't and point them out then I hear them every time. It's clear you're a teacher. You can step off the Wacken reservation. Wembley 2015 is awesome. The opener, like this one, will give you chills. The song is Shudder before the beautiful. You want to hunt tings and clanks and crazy rhythms all wrapped up in boom. I think Jukka drums like Animal from the muppets and Kai is more Neil Peart.
"She's my sin" from the same show
Right now I am really enjoying Edema Rue! They have only played it live once, without Tuomas & Emppu, it’s still good,someone else put a NW video of great clips over the official version. Give it a try. It isn’t reacted to as much as it hasn’t been played in live shows. Have no reason why, it’s awesome.
Floor is a majestic presence on stage...
Thanks
Yw
Imagine playing a concert a week for a year and a half.
Great video. But this time I have a video suggestion: Ne Obliviscaris - "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" live in Colorado 2016. This song was included in a teaching curriculum at Sydney Conservatorium of Music for its composition. I copied the title of the particular video that I would suggest. I'm just starting to explore this band but this is the performance that hooked me.
Great reaction again👍👌
Please also do The Greatest Show on Earth, Live Tampere or Wembley, and from Live Buenos Aires, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean and I Want My Tears Back Now.
Kind regards from the Netherlands ❤
There is a making of series on YT of their Endless Forms most beautiful Album that you might find interesting. It discusses some of the song construction process and how many components go into some songs. It's a fun watch & impressive. :)
That def sounds interesting
Jukka 🤘😎🤘
Any "J" in any Nightwish members whether its Jansen Tarja or the 2 Jukka's is pronounced with a "Y"
Thank you! Ill make that switch in my head
aryeon....often has floor somewhere.the only people who can compete with nightwish. react to the day the world broke down. it has every lead singer from every important group in the genre. other songs will featue britany slayes , marco etc.
I don't believe there is any of the actual orchestration scores out there. but you can hear every song on the Imaginaerum album just the orchestra by itself. the first one is ruclips.net/video/HkzVyZfibPs/видео.html.
we need the islander live in tampere next for some Marco goodness
Just on a tangent...Can't believe you are a drum teacher and you haven't done any Rush and Neil Peart ... food for thought
Well so far I have only done music that is a 'first time listen'. I had my obsessive Rush phase when I was in high school and am pretty familiar with a lot of their albums.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Fair enough you are excused :)
Good one.
What a show opener! B'day song... 'Song of Myself' including the poetry, if only Floor sang that...
Hello Tony, this song is really good, the essence of this song is more linked to TARJA, since her voice is darker and it fit better with this one, Floor simply puts all her talent to interpret it her way making a good version. ..on the other hand, they don't publish their sheet music, but from 2004 to today each album they release comes on 3 CDs.. One CD for the album in normal form, another CD for the album without the vocals, just with the band and the orchestra playing, and another where only the orchestra plays, now without the band...it's a way they adopted a long time ago and it's precisely so that we can appreciate the amount of arrangements they make and that the voice usually covers...it's an interesting fact, but if one day you buy a nightwish album, you will find that 3 CDs come in one
That is a great method of releasing music when its on this level of involvement.
I love this song, and it's a great show opener. I like Kai a lot but Jukka is my favorite Nightwish drummer. Like you said, he's just so animated, but I also love the way the drums sounds under his sticks and style. I don't know exactly what it is about it but it hits just right for me.
For the video question... I would probably choose Greatest Show on Earth since it's the longest Nightwish song lol, and that way I could get as much Nightwish as possible out of one song! But it's also one of the very best songs ever (of theirs, but also in general) and I would love my birthday party guests to get to experience the crazy epic wonder that is Nightwish.
Ahhh, my two favorite bands: BAND-MAID and Nightwish... I'm sure you can see why.
Bro, you have to react to "The greatest show on earth" live in Tampere, Finland, is the best Nightwish video in all the life.
Nighwish - Wishes from eternety DVD with Tarja
Jukka (at least seemingly) puts all of his body and soul into playing the drums, his whole being.
Have you seen Pau from The Warning? She beats her drum kit like Jukka does. Shreds sticks like a lumberjack!! The fact that I thought of Jukka the first time I saw a video of the Warning is why they have become my favorite R&R band, with a twist. Check them out if you haven't as of yet.
marco's bet solos are high hopes tribute to pink floyd and theislander.
