Troy Donockley, the sixth band member, had guested on earlier albums but became a full member in Oct 2013 at the same time as Floor. Here he is playing the bouzouki and in other songs he plays whistles, Uilleann(elbow) pipes, Guitar with E-bow etc etc. You'll find him in so many songs in the later concerts but to really hear the pipes go to I Want My Tears Back at Buenos Aires 2018/19. Or The Greatest Show on Earth either at Wembley or Tampere. There is an instrumental at Wacken 2013 called Last of the Wilds which is fun.
Kai was asked by Jukka to replace him due to health issues (insomnia) but Jukka still does behind the scenes stuff with the band. Meet Troy, the Brit who plays everything you can think of and adds a Folky touch the band as well as backup harmonies
'Troy, is there anything you *don't* play?'
'Ice hockey.'
Troy Donockley is playing an Irish Bouzouki, he also plays Uilleann pipes. thin whistle, Irish whistle, flutes, guitars and backing vocals.
And yes, Marco plays guitar because he is a guitar player, bass is his second instrument, he is master on acoustic guitar, just as Troy!
Nightwish at their best - no one else writes music like this.
This is taken from their conert at Tampere, Finland 2015.
Troy Donockley, permanent member of band since 2012, same time asFloor. He is multi-instrumentalist, plays here bouzouki, Uilleann pipes, flutes, guitars.... On drums as Marko said at the beginning, Kai Hahto!
2013
@@ANDZIGCREAM Permanent since 2013, but he was with the band before Floor.
@@one42chrisp i know he was a session player when Anette sang. And in the beginning when Floor came along. That's why I corrected his comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ANDZIGCREAM 😀😀😀😀😀
If I may come with a suggestion… for more of this drummer’s exceptional skills, check out the band Wintersun, song ‘Sons of Winter and stars’ at Sonic Pump studios. You won’t regret it 😀
Wintersun is indeed on the list. Coming soon
@@massivemetalreactions A succestion, if you're into drums, do a double reaction - first the song in whole, then the drum playthrough, e.g. ruclips.net/video/08_PduSKNWU/видео.html (without feet cam)
or ruclips.net/video/tbb8m3wNXbs/видео.html (lower quality but feet at least somewhat seeable -not well, though, so the first might still be better option for a reaction)
Pretty good guitar work also..
Troy Donockley- You'll get used to him. Multi-instrumentalist. That's a bouzouki
A good song to hear Troy playing the bouzouki is “Seven Days to the Wolves” and the best song to hear Marko get artistic with the double neck is “Elvenjig and Elvenpath”.
I concur
I concur!
Kai Hahto is the drummer since 2014 when Jukka stepped down because of extreme insomnia he had been suffering with for years he's in management now . Troy is the multi instrumentalist was playing an Irish Bouzouki it like a mandalin . he also plays whistles, guitar Uilleann bag pipes . Troy became a full member the same year as Floor in 2013
Troy is playing this bouzouki-style guitar. 8 strings. Similar to mandolin. Marco is a great guitarist. Classical guitar was his first instrument.
As well as guitar he plays uilleann pipes, tin whistle, low whistle, bouzouki, bodhrán… and backing vocals. Troy's been with the band since 2007. officially since 2013. kai's been with the band since 2015
This concert in Tampere Finland in 2015 is as epic as 2013 Wacken. You must react to The Greatest Show On Eath, which they finished the show out with in Tampere, but watch it to the very end of the video.
Great reaction! As your membership questions have already been dealt with, here’s a list of songs Marko plays the acoustic part of his 2-necked beast. Elvenjig/Elvenpath live at Buenos Aires, Dead Boy’s Poem also at BA, The Islander live at Tampere. The performance you just now reacted to was part of the same show which mainly consisted of songs from their 2015 album Endless Forms Most Beautiful. The most impressive and epic song in that show was the closing song: The Greatest Show On Earth. A topic very prominently present in both that 2015 album and the 2020 album Human :||: Nature (although less scientificly addressed). Ohh, many great Nightwish discoveries will befall you yet, Metal Man.
Marko's doubleneck is called "The Beast", custom made by Framus (six tring) and Warwick (Bass). Marko is also a masterful guitar player.
Yep, Marko's double neck is a bass/guitar combo. 'The Beast' is a custom Warwick bass with Framus guitar (both brand names are owned by the same company). I think it's piezo pickups that gives the guitar neck that sound. As others have said, Troy is playing an Irish bouzouki. That is a relative of the Mandola. Yes, 8 strings ( 4 courses of strings).
The song is a criticism of the negative aspects of organized religion. They are not opposed to having beliefs or to religion itself.
Jukka called Kai Hahto to take his seat in 2014 due to health issues caused by severe insomnia, but is still with the band in management.
'The Islander' from this Tampere 2015 show will give you a good look at the Framus guitar neck, and has Marko lead vocals.
First :
Kai Hahto was a member of the grindcore band Rotten Sound.
In 2004 Hahto became one of the founders of the band Wintersun and left Rotten Sound later in 2005. In 2009-2012 Kai Hahto played about 300 shows with doom-death-metal band Swallow the Sun as a session drummer.
Hahto has an endorsement relationship with Meinl cymbals, Pearl drums and hardware, Balbex drumsticks, Roland V-Drums and Finfonic earphones.
On 6 August 2014, it was announced that Hahto will be playing drums on the forthcoming Nightwish album, replacing Jukka Nevalainen, who went on hiatus from the band due to insomnia, and Hahto performed on all live shows since that date. On July 15, 2019, Hahto became Nightwish's permanent drummer following Nevalainen's decision not to return to the band
Troy Donockley "The Bard" (is an English composer and multi-instrumentalist most known for his playing of Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone).
Troy is playing an Electric Bouzouki ( A musical instrument popular in Greece. It is a member of the long-necked lute family, with a round body with a flat top and a long neck with a fretted fingerboard.). And become Member Oct 2013
Marko is Playing an Warwick Infinity / Panthera Double neck Bass and Guitar ( It is called THE BEAST).
This song is against organized religions based on tribal religious texts, especially The Bible, it's not against personal faith in some Deity. However, one should realize that all those religious texts are & have been interpreted and used to justify unimaginable cruelties, persecution, discrimination etc., the worst being the idea that man is separate from nature & by some divine right above all other lifeforms, which explains the current almost catastrophic state of our planet.
lyrics are spot on - so many fractures in our world have a root in the fantasy that each of the religions/sects/whatever are THE ONE way. This song speaks, with anger, against the fact that we humans are destroying ourselves and this world based on a power structure that needs to be made obsolete - we ALL deserve better.
I LOVE this Song . Especially Floor's Freddie Mercury pose at the end . Speaking of Freddie ,....Floor's first band After Forever did a Cover of Queen's song "Who Wants To Live Forever " :
Who Wants To Live Forever ruclips.net/video/yPLtgu2pPic/видео.html
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
There indeed is a lot to geek out over for such a simply constructed song. It's a banger, deep groove with the Tom work, awesome harmonies, and curiosity piquing guitar work.
Just pumps ya up better than espresso.
When you go back to Wacken 2013, you can see that Troy Donockly was already there, e.g. playing the Uillean pipes in "I want my tears back" . BTW he is a multi instrumentalist.
Old joke:
question: "Troy, what instruments do you play?"
Troy: "Yes"
Watch Nightwish's "How's the heart" acoustically (Planet Rock, only Floor and Troy), there you can admire Troy playing the acoustic guitar, and one of the best performances of Floor IMO.
Love that joke! Thanks
I concur
Agree completely. It is truly a masterpiece. Do a dual reaction to the acoustic version and album version of How's the Heart.
Drummer is Kai Hahto. Jukka had to leave the band for health reasons, but still works for them behind the scenes in management. The other guy is Troy Donockley, from the UK. He became a full time member the same time Floor did, but only appears in a couple of songs from the Wacken 2013 show. The further you go from that show to the present, you’ll see/hear more and more from him. He plays, as in this video, the bouzouki, as well as the Uilleann pipes (an Irish variety of bagpipes), flutes and whistles, acoustic and electric guitar, and he sings, as well. It started out at Wacken 2013 he was only onstage for a couple of songs…today there are only a couple of songs he’s NOT onstage for.
Nightwish Army Southwest Michigan Division checking in. Great reaction. I look forward to following you on your journey discovering this great band.
👍One of my favorites🤘🇫🇮!! "Endlessness" is number one.
Kai Hahto was chosen by Jukka (they are great friends) to replace him when he choose to step down for health reasons. His previous band was Wintersun, another amazing Finnish metal band with incredibly complex and beautiful compositions. Marko is playing "the Beast". Warwick bass on top, Framus guitar on bottom. He usually uses the Framus portion to create an acoustic guitar tone. The new band member is Troy Donockley. He is an Englishman and an incredible multi-instrumentalist. He is most famous for playing the Uilleann pipes (Irish Bagpipes) and Irish whistles but also plays the Irish Bouzouki here as well as both acoustic and electric guitars, especially using an ebow to mimic violin or cello lines. He was a session player on Annette era albums (he is in the music video for the Islander), toured with them on the Imaginarium tour, and become a permanent member at the same time as Floor. Others have mentioned other songs he is is in. Greatest Show on Earth, Last of the Wilds, Elan, and Elvenjig/Elvenpath are some of my favorites. The last one is an interesting mashup. Elvenjig is an instrumental mostly based on a song from his previous Celtic folk band Iona and Elvenpath is an early Nightwish song from their first album Angels First Fall.
The song is Tuomas's diatribe against organized religion. I don't know for sure if he is an atheist but he definitely does not like when people unthinkingly and uncritically go through life and in this song and others (Tribal) he takes religions to task for their failures and the dangers they can pose when people blindly follow them.
Checkout The Islander from this concert and 7 days to the Wolves at Wembley stadion, also in 2015!
Warrick bass, Framus guitar. Warrick bought German Framus and started making Framus guitars, and they also made this beast called the Warwick Infinity / Panthera Double neck Bass and Guitar.
Marko Hietala (pron: HEE-ah-Tallah) plays a custom Warwick double neck here, nicknamed The Beast. When you see The Islander, you will hear the special tone of the guitar.
Kai Hahto, formerly of Wintersun, is a master technician with petfect posture. He uses wrists and fingers instead of bashing wildly like Jukka. Kai rarely raises his arms above his heart, he's not flashy. But if you're interested, Kai has a lot.of drum cams where you will not just hear, but SEE how awesome he is! Kai can switch lead hands from right to left and back just for fun...he's easily in the top.drummers of a generation!
And, lastly, as you will learn... Troy, who.plays everything, and sings... is a.magical creature...full stop.
The guitar Marko is playing has a piezo pickup which give it that acoustic tone.
Jukka asked his friend Kai to take over drumming for Nightwish so he could step back dur to various health reasons. Kia was the drummer for another Metal Band called Wintersun.
If you watch the Islander from this concert, you will see the reason for the double neck. In the Islander, Marko does a great solo song.
Great reaction! Yeah I’m still learning every time I watch Nightwish. Good points regarding the keyboard. So much to listen to that some sounds I just miss like Tuomas playing in this piece, thanks again!
Marko studied classical guitar, vocals and musical theory in high school.
My favourite song alltime. Great great song with masterlyrics 🔥🤘❤️🇫🇮 Was working at Stage Crew in this concert. Magical night 🔥🇫🇮
I think the guitar neck Marko has,has Piezo pickups,they give a heavier,cristal clear,more realistic "acoustic sound" to the electric guitars.
Next Nightwish: "Sahara" Live in Tampa
Troy came on board the same time Floor did! If you ask Troy what instrument he plays...he replies..."Yes!" He also has a really great voice! Now... Jukka, the drummer you have seen, had to step down because of severe insomnia...( side note...I understand what he went through...as I had the same symptoms as he did, I saw stuff that wasn't there, I was not getting into REM sleep, unbelievable migraines....etc! Mine turned out to be chronic and obstructive sleep apnea. I have been using a Bipap machine since early 2001 ) Kai is the new drummer...and they happen to be good friends, and have very similar styles. Jukka is still with Nightwish in a managerial role.
If you want to hear Troy sing, Check out the Lyric Video of "Harvest"... it's awesome! Also, Troy and Floor perform some songs, acoustic style..just Troy playing an acoustic guitar and Floor singing! I love the song " How's The Heart" that they perform!
Hope this helps!
Since all your questions have been answered in detail, I can only say one thing - good reaction as always and keep it up.
Yes Marco can. He is as good at playing guitar as he plays his bass.
Check out from this same concert "the Islander", where he plays this double neck
Roland ME 50B, and sings in front of audience alone and with Floor,
or check out his own band Tarot and "My Father´s Voice".
Thank you for going on with Nightwish. Take care.
Hi from the UK check out Nightwish How's the hart acoustic planet rock Floor troy and a guitar 🎸 ♥
it's not a ukulele! it's a bouzouki! Troy has been in the band since 2007, a full member since 2013. he's a multi instrumentalist. the song is about getting caught up in different religions.
I’ll use this opportunity to request/recommend you react to Kai Hahto’s previous band “Wintersun”. Specifically the “Sonic pump studios live rehearsals”. Impressive as the drums are in this song, they feel like retirement home stuff after you’ve seen what Kai pulls off in Wintersun.
Heh.. if you want to see Marco playing the guitar, you should react to the song that was played right before Weak Fantasy.. The Islander, also live here at Tampere. You'll definitely enjoy that one.
Not sure if anyone spoke of it, but at one time Kai Hahto was the drum tech for Jukka at one time, and was in WinterSun. Hai is a stud when it comes to the drums.
Kai Hatho on drums. Jukkas teacher 😎❤️🇧🇻Kai came from Wintersun. The new bass player after Marco also is fetch.from band Wintersun 😎❤️🇧🇻
Well, you've already got all the info. Marco is playing the beast - Troy plays the bouzouki here, Kai is in Wintersun too. Now, more info: Marko is currently replaced by Jukka, the bass player you'll see when reacting to Wintersun. Troy plays multiple instruments - in "While your lips are still red" live at Wembley, where Marko plays the beast, Troy plays the electric guitar wit an e-bow. ruclips.net/video/5V7PKv493Ic/видео.html
Fantastic song with great lyrics.
Irish bouzouki. 4 pairs of strings. Enjoy it!
The drummer Kai Hahto comes from the metal band Wintersun.
Hehehe nice reaction. Whenever you have no idea what instrument it is, Troy can play it 😂
I love this song I can totally relate to it 🤘🏽
Great reaction as always! Same with Song of Myself, just watched them both. Honestly I appreciate your approach to your reactions. There are plenty of vocal coach reactions out there so i'm glad to hear about the other members and instruments as well. There are two reasons I watch reaction videos. First, it's my main source of finding new music that I may not find otherwise. Second, although i've heard a lot of these songs tons of times before, I have to admit I like to re-live that first time listening to the song vicariously through someone else's first listen, and even if they don't like the song in the end, I still appreciate both that they took the time to listen to the song, and that I get to hear their personal opinion on it. Your reactions tick both those boxes, plus I appreciate your honesty and just your genuine reaction to the videos. So thanks for taking the time! I've seen quite a few of your reactions so far, but I just wanted to take the time to leave an overly long comment to say there are plenty of us out here who appreciate the honesty.
🤘🤘
As I see it, there is 2 type of ppl: those who are driven by music it self (I'm like that) and those who need lyrics. Nothing wrong with either of those, it's just how our brains work: differently.
🤘😁🤘
Watch 'The Islander' Marco just shines. This band is so tight. Troy is the other guitarist.
troy plays all n sings and Kai is drummer hes in wintersun too
If you want to hear Troy play an actual guitar, try How's The Heart, acoustic session on Planet Rock.
And as for Marko - his formal music education was on classical guitar, electric and acoustic guitars and bass came later.
If you want to see Marko be front and center with the guitar neck, check the Islander from this same concert.
If Troy or anyone else in the band plays it, it's supposed to be played always, Troy has been playing with the band since 2006 I think 🤔 became a permanent member in 2013 with floor, Jukka the original drummer suffered from insomnia for years and could no longer play 2014-2015 he brought in kai who was a friend of his, kai is a great drummer quality remained true to this band of nothing but talent, Troy can play many instruments but doesn't play on all songs but when he does it is wonderful new subscriber watched several times I like your journey, the respect for nightwish and your questions that show your real interest in great music God bless
ya get a good look at that guitar during the islander live
watch Marco play guitar in the islander, and dead boys poem
Weak Fantasy is about religion and christianity in particular. Examples are tribal poetry wich refers to the bible, male necrocracy which refers to jesus and mothers milk laced with poison wich refers to children that are raised from birth with this crap. The album Endless Forms Most Beautiful is an ode to evolution and refers to the works of Charles Darwin and Professor Richard Dawkins, who is an evolutionary biologist. The spoken text of that album is actually done by Richard Dawkins.
Now Tuomas was raised lightly as a christian and you can tell by some of the lyrics on the earlier albums. However, he got educated on the bible and evolution and this album was the result. Here's a video that shows Tuomas and Troy declaring themselves secular and why ruclips.net/video/ZJuWLkTwtFs/видео.html I understand that the rest of the band feels the same way, based on some interviews I read. I believe it was actually Marko who introduced Tuomas to the writings of Richard Dawkins but I'm not 100% sure. The song Tribal on the current album also goes into the same topic some more. As an ex-christian I get a lot of the references and I just love both these songs for obvious reasons.
Phenomenal 😍🙏
If you want to see more instrument fun, you might enjoy Dead Boy's Poem.
The " love letter" from Nightwish to organizied Religiouns. You dont want hear the lyrics. I mean, you are US.. i am wrong? Since 2022, Jukka Koskinen, is the new Bassplayer of Nightwish. Look to Hellfest 2022.
I’m in the US, yes.
@@massivemetalreactions Greetings from nothern Germany 🤘 In this Song, the Lyrics are bigger as the Music. 🤘
Thanks
Troy is permanent member for 10y now and he plays about 11 weird instruments, whatever is needed. He isn't in every video because not all songs were written for his expertise.
One of their greatest songs expressing their utter contempt for religion. It's a pity that more bands don't have something politically relevant to say .
Tuomas is endorsed by Korg
That's The Beast, a Framus 6 string and Warwick Bass built to Marco's spec. He was a lead guitarist until a new bass player joined his group at the time and he moved to bass
More Troy in zmy Walden, The Greatest Show on Earth etc
It's about the evils of organised religions.
Yep, a Warwick/Framus Infinity/Panthera, seriously heavy and very seriously expensive custom shop special order.
🤗🍒👍🏻
ruclips.net/video/FbWzilsAOYs/видео.html drum cam from this song (different show) if you want to see clearly what he is doing 😁
Also would recommend you another Finnish metal band called Amorphis. Thay are amazing! If you start with Death Of The King there is also great guitar solo 👍 highly recommend 🤟
First of all Marko announced Kai at the beginning secondly I saw that you did Last of the wilds (did not watch) so why do you not know who Troy is he was heavily featured and he joined the band same time as Floor and presently pretty much does the singing Marko use to and he is the man of a thousand instruments lol
Marko does the guitar with that double guitar in The Islander from this show from Finland its awesome
heads up if Floor has her tattoos it's after all the 2013 stuff on the 2015 stuff for sure and High hopes was from 17 yrs ago and Jukka was pretty obvious and that was Tarja's era
Not sure what Last of the Wilds is. I’ll have to check that out. Yeah man. Totally missed the name in the beginning. Brand new to the band. Great journey so far. Thanks for checking it out.
@@massivemetalreactions I'm so sorry got you mixed up with another reactor that looks like you in the thumbnail so I looked at what NW song you did and no Troy ones so the Last of the Wilds is a Instrumental on the Wacken concert if you want to see Troy in all his glory check out I want my Tears back from Wacken or Buenos Aires but in time you will see him a lot he plays mostly wind instrument but he plays string instrument too
Looked like you in that you both were wearing caps , big head phones and glasses and since I didn't check it out I would have known the difference and I didn't check it out because it had no Floor cause she was doing a wardrobe change from pants to skirt
🤩👍💥💯
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Think christianity...... textwise, described by an outside observer that has no idea of what that is before now.
Although Toumas always says that his text are up for interpretation in your own perspective.....it's pretty clear in my opinion.
Much love to you and Ukraine
🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
Do they have a new extra guitarist? No. They have a Troy. Troy is the any damn instrument you want permanent member of Nightwish.
its a bouzouki and his name is troy he plays flute ,bagpipes and shit!!!!!!!!
girls choice crypta from the ashes wacken 2022 liv
ruclips.net/video/Z8B6UiMzAI0/видео.htmlsi=kSKORfRVyGD6njIC
Younger Floor with After Forever! Badass!
