All my life (66 y old Dutch bloke) I am a fan of Pink Floyd and seen them several times. This is the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to an exceptional band.
This is not a Cover.... This is a TRIBUTE to PINK FLOYD. Even David Gilmore gave NIGHTWISH a big compliment. That's fantastic. This one is better for me personally than the Original. There is so much emotion in this.... Love from The Netherlands ❤🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼♀️
I think if you go and try to copy Pink Floyd you'll most likely have a pale copy, I why bother Pink Floyd have done it and they are legends for a reason. Gilmore and the rest of Pink Floyd are better at that, but if you try and make your own version of it, and make it a tribute to Pink Floyd like Nightwish did here then its another think, and I love Nightwish version. They are paying respect to the Legend of Pink Floyd in a great way, which one I prefer it depends on my food and I love them both.
During this last concert with Tarja, Jukka was plagued by a severe migraine attack due to his permanent insomnia. With his head movements Toumas asked Emppu again and again to look after Jukka.
The name of the guitarist is Emppu, founding member and joker of the band. He is the most underrated guitarist in the world. He is brillant, he do what the song needs, not more. He is not a poser.
Better than the original one......the keyboards are haunting....and the voice........this is a GREAT one.....This happens when people are really dedicated....awesome
My first PF Album was "Atomic Heart Mother" over 50 years ago ! Iv been a super fan over 50 yers now ! This one, is Best ever *Tribute* to PF !! Marko and rest of the band were in Out of this World ! They were all time HIGH in Music Universe!
What a tribute! What a performance! Especially when you know what state of mind they were in... Extra drama; during that concert Jukka was suffering from a severe migraine attac which made drumming seriously painful. At 4:02 in your reaction you can see Tuomas nodding to Emppu to go check on him, which he does... Love the band, love the song, love the performance, and truly loved your reaction to it! Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪...
This song is significant for Nightwish, at that point. It is good, you mentioned the meaning. After that concert, the boys gave Tarja the open letter, with her dismissal from the band. When they performed this song, so emotionally and beautifully, during a costume break of hers, it had a deep meaning to them. I'm very sure, about it. Just read the open letter and compare it, to the meaning of the song, as you read it down.
Nightwish Army Trench division New Zealand. I'm a massive fan of Pink Floyd too Dark side of the moon album one of my all time fav's but this Tribute blows me away love Marco and miss him very much. What am I doing today? Sentry work. I shall be Guarding again lives depend on me and my duties as a lookout. Meet and greet etc. Have a lovely day Trench Division out.
Gilmore's meaning of the song is a theme that Tuomas has in many of his own songs. This song must have resonated strongly with Tuomas. I agree, I also really missed the real big bell Pink Floyd used. I saw Pink Floyd play this live in Montreal on the Division Bell tour.
A very educated and a thoughtful reaction to this song 😀👍👍. I love your reactions cuz you are always on point 👍🤟. I love Neezelanders. Always wanted to live there...some how I ended up in New York City..lol. Pink Floyd one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time along with Led Zeppelin 👍🤟. Kudos to Nightwish for covering this song. Thank you so very much for this reaction 👍. Take care of yourself and be safe... always 🙏🌹❤️👍🤟🤟
Tuomas has such a great affinity and respect with everything that is good and pure. It comes out in all his compositions. And Marko is just the right avenue to convey this particular awesome tribute to Pink Floyed You really must hear "Sweet Curse" between Floor and Henk Poort in Amsterdam . Its unbelievably good
Smart analysis. That melancholic feeling definitely applies here too. Realize that this was played at the very last concert NW had with Tarja, it wasn't called 'End of an Era' for no reason. You can feel a kind of aggression with Marko as well as with the other band members. An outburst of all the pent-up displeasure at what had grown between them and her over the years. With Tarja's departure, some of their childhood dreams literally came to an end. The founding musicians all come from the same village in Finland. The lead guitarist is Erno Matti Juhani "Emppu" Vuorinen (born 24 June 1978), most famous for his technique and being a founding member and occasional songwriter.

Empuu the cheeky prankster, Corona beer, (Tuomas has his wine rack, for "Nightwish Red"). Yes, Pink Floyd had an actual Church Bell on stage. Extra special emotionally, as Tarja was backstage, not knowing what was to come, that look from Tuomas to Marco. These guys are absolutely amazing, you were ready to wipe away a tear...
Yes! When someone commented on how they were childhood friends and this was the end of the road with Tarja.. the song felt even more heartbreaking and meaningful. What a goodbye!
For me, the better version is simply because I love metal and this version is also much darker than the original. On top of that, Marko's sensational, unique voice. That's my music. The original is too soft for me, too dreamy, neither fish nor meat (as we say in Germany). If you think in this performance that this was the expulsion of Tarja and everyone knew that except Tarja himself and you then hear the lyrics with Marco's slightly pissed off vocals, then that's a completely different experience. Emppu is the guitarist It's fun to watch you. You are a funny person. 😁
@@PandoraPlaysMusic Search for 'open letter to tarja' and you will get your answer. The dude Marcelo they talk about in the letter is her husband/manager and the instigator (well, I think so) of the turmoil. There is also a letter with Tarja's answer on the same site. I have tried to post a link with my main account but my three attempts were deleted.
@@PandoraPlaysMusic There are public letters, video press conference and heeps of theories... I don't take a stand any in one way or another.

@@PandoraPlaysMusic Look for and read "the letters". One by Tuomas and one by Tarja which were an attempt to explain the reasoning for the firing and the answer to that by Tarja. Both were published on the internet for the benefit of the worldwide fan base. Keep in mind that Tuomas and Tarja both grew up together in the same little town in Finland.
Dude. Tarja is still friendly with the band members, even with Tuomas though it took a while. While it's fun to dramatize the proceedings it's quite weird to be talking about things like "the expulsion of Tarja" ...
If ever there was a songwriter with deep meaning to his songs at least as much as David Gilmour it is Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish. You really should be listening to more of this incredibly talented band. Try "The Islander" at Tampere 2015 for more of Marko.
marco is such a good singer. here in greece it snowing today and it's very cold. your channel pandora is very different. i like to come here and relax. i love your videos. have a good day and be safe :)
Thanks gorgeous! This performance has A LOT of emotion invested into it. The song itself conjures up spirits of regret and missed opportunities... But there's more at play in that very moment. Before this show, the last of the tour, the band had agreed that their singer, and friend, Tarja, was to be fired after the show. The anxiety and tension within the band was excruciating. The drummer, Jukka was said to be suffering from a migraine. (True or not, it's believable) So the emotional outlet in the performance was explosive. Marko absolutely channeled the energy and elevated the performance to a new height. Thanks again! (Emppu)
As you can see from this video, Marko is a world class singer in his own right. Fun fact, Marko won Finland's version of The Masked Singer in December of 2020.
welcome to the New Year! I hope you had a chance to have a break, rest up and spend quality time with family and friends despite the challenges presented to us all by the continuing pandemic.
Thanx heaps Pandora, another great performance of PF covers would be The Aust Pink Floyd Show (Tania Mandarino), thinking its performed in England...Cheers
Marko has left sadly, they've got a replacement for the upcoming tour who is a great bassist but won't be doing the vocal parts. At least we have all these great songs to enjoy, you should check out The Islander (live at Tampere), another one he sings the lead.
I m really happy that you finally reviewed this master piece and you liked it. When you talked about marco's voice last time, i guessed that i had to recommend this one and i think i was not wrong :D
at this level, it's not a cover, it's a tribute. and what a voice !!!! Try Nightwish "devil and the deep dark ocean - live in bueno aeres" or from the same live: "dead boy poem" ;). Don't look other reactions, stay you. Technics is only here for deserve emotions of the song.
"Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light." -Dylan Thomas That is what I get from Marco's voice. Aggressive yearning to something that can never be felt again, wonder of youth, as river of time carries you closer to your end.
After watching several hundred reactions to this performance we agree yours touched us the most. Like you we are as fanatical for Pink Floyd as we are for Nightwish, and like you, for different reasons. I'm glad others pointed out this was intended by NW to be a tribute to Pink Floyd and David Gilmore, not a cover. Both bands did it in their own style and both killed their performances. Wonderful reaction and analysis. We loved watching your facial expressions from beginning to end and completely understand your emotional investment. We'd like to recommend our favorite NW performance and would love to watch your reaction to it. It is "7 Days to the Wolves" from their concert at Wembley in 2015. We hope you will react to it.

Had a good day. Had a few foot problems recently, but did a successful 15km run this morning. You asked about our day, so this happened. :-) #oldmanrunning #kiwi
Hi there. I've never been first before, pretty exciting....for a second or two. Anyway this is from End Of An Era. 2 hours after this show the band publicly fired Tarja, their first singer. They only played this cover a few times and it was definitely(in my opinion) aimed at Tarja, I don't think they ever played it again.
@@PandoraPlaysMusic she didn't connect with the band anymore. She was more interested in her solo career and money. So it was said anyway. There is an "Open letter to Tarja" that you can find on the internet where the band explains how they feel about everything.
@@AndyMagnusson70 Tell me that the lyrics to High Hopes don't apply. Perhaps I stated it wrong, maybe they played the song for a catharsis. But I don't believe it was coincidence that they chose this particular song to cover.
Hi Pandora, i love to see your reaction videos of Nightwish. For me they are the best band in the world 😍 I also have another recommendation for you. If you like surprises, then try this masterpiece of our Dutch genius Arjen Anthony Lucassen with 11 awesome singers (I won't spoil who they are, but i think you will recognize some of them 😉): Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. Here is the link to the video: ruclips.net/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/видео.html You will be blown away by all the talented musicians and singers! You won't be dissappointed....I PROMISE! Hope to see your reaction to this masterpiece soon and for now....Greetings, stay safe and lots of love from The Netherlands, Martin
Hi, this song is one of my favorite NW songs. I have listened that tens of times and always it's just so good. What you said in the begining about the lyrics of Pink Floyd songs, the same goes with NW lyrics too. They are sometimes poetic, meaningful, they make you think and sometimes you have to listen the song a couple of times to really get into them. As Tuomas has said every song has a story behind it. These two versions I wouldn't compare with each other. The Nightwish version is a different song based on a Pink Floyd song. They are from the different eras, played with different style and so on. Still they both are great songs. If you'd like to find out more about NW songwriting and composing, you might like these videos. NIGHTWISH - Making of new album 2015; Episode 1: The Cabin (OFFICIAL TRAILER) - ruclips.net/video/BB1IrA8FwrY/видео.html. There are 21 episodes all together. Those episodes give you a nice setup, how everything is put together. Thanks for your reaction, it was nice to hear your ideas of this song. By the way I'm ok, not freezing this morning. Only -5 and waiting the snowfall to come. See you.
This is a mistake of many Nightwish fans, they usually talk about Nightwish having 3 singers so far. No, there were and are 4 singers, Tarja, Anette, Marco and Floor. When Tarja had to leave, Marco took over the frontpart in Nightwish before Anette came.
Hi i have some bands for a change so now and then. Please check tem out, Sabaton with Christmas Truce, Evergrey with In Orbit, Northward with While love died. In all those songs Floor is featuring.
Brilliant reaction to a brilliant song! 👍🏻🙂 Country singer Cody Jinks (who is also amazing btw) does an outstanding cover of “Wish You Were Here”. Just sayin… 🙂 since you were interested in really good Pink Floyd covers. You will love the steel guitar in his cover. Very haunting and beautiful.
Yup! Gilmour is a God, Marko is one of a kind whole-package-deal, Pink Floyd and Nightwish in one is simply too much goodness... we're not worthy. I'm subscribing.
In my opinion, Nightwish/Marko "Disturbed" the hell out of this song. As an old school PF fan, I was dismissive of High Hopes/Division Bell back when it was released. NW's tribute is impossible to dismiss. Thanks PP!
Not really a cover. More of a tribute. An homage. Nightwish is outstanding. Who else could have done it justice? It takes an extraordinary band to match the tone given by Pink Floyd. And Marko.....damn. Insane talent.
After this Show, they fired Tarja. The open Letter is written. And here nobody smile (Emppu). This Tribute to Pink Floyd is full of Sadness,and in the same time of Angry.(Marko) 🤘
Poor Jukka with a migraine. Hence Tuomas with the little head nod to Emppu to go check on him. Then Emppu jumps off the riser for the solo. I like this better than the PF version I have to say. I love a good reworking of a song
@@mitchthepower yeah that's true. I've been a Follower of Pink Floyd's all thru my life. Since Meddle in 71 or 72. In fact Floyd is my Favorite Band followed by Band Maid
Finally you are back to Nightwish :D Tuomas (mr Nightwish on the keyboards) didn't just make a cover of this because he "found it", He always have thoughts behind his songs, and in this case his arrengement of the Tribute to Pink Floyd, after this concert their original singer Tarja Turunen got booted (long story) but she didn't know it during this concert but the rest of the bandmembers dit... "Spookee..." So the song has a real mening in the light of the fact that Open Letter to Tarja was already written, (perhaps Tarja had "High Hopes"? ;) ) and if you want more info about this? there is a lot in the community regarding this.
Just to clarify, Tarja didn't know that she was going to get booted so abruptly, but she did know that this was probably going to be her last concert with the band. She herself told them that she would record one more album with them, but would not do any concerts after the new album was released. So in that context, she knew that this was her "goodbye" performance for the fans of Nightwish.
Hi Pandora I totally agree about your reaction you either GET GILMOUR OR YOU DON'T he's always been a trailblazer IMO LOL. BUT how GOOD is MARCO as a tribute you couldn't get better.
NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥 MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻 My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on RUclips. And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound, this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎 Marco is singing solo on this one. Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction. AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO? The second also hardly on RUclips, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻 Enjoy it, and I with you!
I love NW! I love them since 1997! But i hate that Marco leave the band! I hate that sooo much!!! I wish him only the best, but after all what happend, Tarja (had to) leave the band, that the 1st drummer Jukka got ill and leave the band, how long they searched for a singer like Floor and so on, after all that happend and much more we don't know i would never have thought that Marco also would do this to the band and his friends.
That is the song that makes Marko Hietala shine . High Hopes from Pink Floyd . Better and more rocking version than the original song ... Be sure that song was Tuoma's choice , cause he is a crazy fan of Pink Floyd ... Marko did the miracle! I love the band too like Tuomas does but I prefer that version for this song . It's sublime . Emppu here he' s showing his class as a lead guitarist ! Thank you Marko for that performance ... was men 's theme ! I ' m really sad when I see Jukka Nevalainen behind drums , I can't believe that is not in the band any more ... but Marko the same is absent now from the band and I love them both ... Too pitty ... what can I say !
@@PandoraPlaysMusic Jukka , the pirate, was the original drummer of the band for lots of years ... At 2015 , before they make their new album officially with Floor Jansen as leader in vocals , Jukka had issues with bad forms of insomnia . And quit from the band , but before that , he brought his friend to the band who now is the new drummer of the band , Kai Hahto from Wintersun ... Very professional drummer too... That album was Endless forms most Beautiful, 25 of March 2015. The performance here is from End of Era concert 2005 the last concert with Tarja Turunen as a lead vocalist , the original first queen , then they had Annette Olzon until 2013 , and unofficially Floor Jansen at Wacken open concert 2013 and then Floor officially is the leader vocalist of the band with the previous album that I have said about . 3 eras , 3 queens 1 band , 1 legit history to be listen to! If you want to see the knew drummer at work if you didn't do search of 7 days to the wolves , and Poet and the Pendulum , live Wembley Arena concert 2016 . Two songs that will make you love Kai Hahto , he's a machine!
Well , i have still hope that Marco may be come back to Nightwish , because he left not because of Tensions between Band Members . It was because of some issues in the Background because of the Label , the share of Money the Band got , the share he got and he wanted more Time for himself and his Family . There is a shift away from optical media ( CD ) to online streaming ( MP4 ) since a long Time , resulting in less money for the artists and Labels and more for the online Plattforms .
What about a female fronted band from Germany wich has stylistic influences from Korn, Slipknot and In This Moment? -> Null Positiv Their highly charismatic, energetic and powerful singer Elli Berlin has a large range from clean over harsh vocals up (or better down) to growls. Her voice is really unique in a very positive way. A band that is definitely worth to be reacted to The song "Independenz" is a very good song to experience the range of singer Elli Berlin: ruclips.net/video/QpvgryCwxeo/видео.html I love their power ballad „Wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer“ (incl. English caption) which such an intense atmosphere. Ellis voice and charisma is just awesome: ruclips.net/video/lOIy-i6c_iI/видео.html Anther good start to get to know them is also „Freiheit“ (Freedom), which has English subtitles: ruclips.net/video/5GaqkD3jJB8/видео.html Their song „Friss Dich auf“ is pure heaviness and has a creepy video: ruclips.net/video/V6CJ0Rq8sZU/видео.html Hass” (Hate“ Yes, it is as heavy as you can guess by the title) ruclips.net/video/wo4Ppm6QzpQ/видео.html
I Here Nightwish for over 15 years i have never see that Empu makes a big Show from his Gitarr Solos the ride Feet on the Monitor the Gitarr on his Knie and he play his Solos minimalistic and with absolut Style
I have to admit, your "enjoyment" was very distracting (good for you). Your distraction was my enjoyment. 😉 Besides that, Pink Floyd is one of my all time favs. Keep the distractions coming! Btw. If you want to hear a Pink Floyd-like band and if you wanna hear/see a very young (some 22 years ago) Troy Donockley (Nightwish) on flute and pipes, then react to MOSTLY AUTUMN (Pink Floyd like sound) with a song called "The Night Sky" : ruclips.net/video/nPFWFe6e4ZY/видео.html
Can you react to Tarja's version of the song "Ghost Love Score"? It's from End of an Era DVD. Tarja's voice put this song to an another dimension, you will like it.
🇬🇧 Norfolk division strapped in and ready to go. Marco was their second bass player people forget that and Jukka can play it’s just the personality we will miss but wish him well

As a bass player Marko can be replaced. Jukka who's playing with them now is amazing. BUT as a singer and the charisma of Marko can never be replaced
For me, Marko is the emotion of Nightwish

Wasn't Tarja sick and violently puking her guts out right before Phantom of the opera ? I heard something of that kind around RUclips comments.
Pan....Nice reaction and commentary, thank you. Looking forward to your next reaction. Be well. Miss you Syd !
This song is significant for Nightwish, at that point.
It is good, you mentioned the meaning.
After that concert, the boys gave Tarja the open letter, with her dismissal from the band. When they performed this song, so emotionally and beautifully, during a costume break of hers, it had a deep meaning to them. I'm very sure, about it.
Just read the open letter and compare it, to the meaning of the song, as you read it down.
Wow. The letter makes the song that much more heartbreaking.
There is a lot going on during the end if a Era concert that is not overt,
Gilmour himself shared this version on Twitter. And have a look at the light rig in the background. Even that's a tribute to PF.
Great tribute

welcome to the New Year! I hope you had a chance to have a break, rest up and spend quality time with family and friends despite the challenges presented to us all by the continuing pandemic.
Happy healthy new year to you too, Mika! ❤️
Thanx heaps Pandora, another great performance of PF covers would be The Aust Pink Floyd
Show (Tania Mandarino), thinking its performed in England...Cheers
The Gitarr players Name is Empu Vuirinen
Marko has left sadly, they've got a replacement for the upcoming tour who is a great bassist but won't be doing the vocal parts.
At least we have all these great songs to enjoy, you should check out The Islander (live at Tampere), another one he sings the lead.
I m really happy that you finally reviewed this master piece and you liked it. When you talked about marco's voice last time, i guessed that i had to recommend this one and i think i was not wrong :D
It was amazing, thank you so much!
@@PandoraPlaysMusic I just found another gorgeous song that may interest you with marco again :

Great reaction, interesting explanation!
It's really crazy to think that this band could realistically be an international success even without their lead singer.
You are absolutely wonderful... the reaction was nice too 😁
Hi from Florida
❤️
@@PandoraPlaysMusic ❤🥰😁
A great song elevated into a different direction but the song lends itself to interpretation...
at this level, it's not a cover, it's a tribute. and what a voice !!!! Try Nightwish "devil and the deep dark ocean - live in bueno aeres" or from the same live: "dead boy poem" ;).
Don't look other reactions, stay you. Technics is only here for deserve emotions of the song.
Merci! ❤️
@@PandoraPlaysMusic you speak french ????? (yes i'm french, south of France).
Love Nightwish! Definetly in my top 5 artists. Another top 5 for me is Aurora. Please react to Aurora- Heathens (live VEVO)
"Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light." -Dylan Thomas
That is what I get from Marco's voice. Aggressive yearning to something that can never be felt again, wonder of youth, as river of time carries you closer to your end.
That is one of my favourites. And also the one about the road less travelled by Frost.
After watching several hundred reactions to this performance we agree yours touched us the most. Like you we are as fanatical for Pink Floyd as we are for Nightwish, and like you, for different reasons. I'm glad others pointed out this was intended by NW to be a tribute to Pink Floyd and David Gilmore, not a cover. Both bands did it in their own style and both killed their performances. Wonderful reaction and analysis. We loved watching your facial expressions from beginning to end and completely understand your emotional investment. We'd like to recommend our favorite NW performance and would love to watch your reaction to it. It is "7 Days to the Wolves" from their concert at Wembley in 2015. We hope you will react to it. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/видео.html Stay safe and enjoy your summer down under from a couple of senior citizens in Arizona, USA.
Nice of you to read out Gilmours meaning of the song beforehand.
❤️
Had a good day. Had a few foot problems recently, but did a successful 15km run this morning. You asked about our day, so this happened. :-) #oldmanrunning #kiwi
Oh wow 15km run! Can I even walk that?!lol
Marco WILL return to NW..... The universe demands it.
Hi there. I've never been first before, pretty exciting....for a second or two. Anyway this is from End Of An Era. 2 hours after this show the band publicly fired Tarja, their first singer. They only played this cover a few times and it was definitely(in my opinion) aimed at Tarja, I don't think they ever played it again.
How sad! Why did they fire her?
@@PandoraPlaysMusic she didn't connect with the band anymore. She was more interested in her solo career and money. So it was said anyway. There is an "Open letter to Tarja" that you can find on the internet where the band explains how they feel about everything.
Aimed at Tarja? She made costume changes during this song.
@@AndyMagnusson70 Tell me that the lyrics to High Hopes don't apply. Perhaps I stated it wrong, maybe they played the song for a catharsis. But I don't believe it was coincidence that they chose this particular song to cover.
@@PandoraPlaysMusic I just simply describe it as a divorce for irreconcilable differences. Both sides had points, so....
BEST. BOY. BAND. EVER. FACT. 🔥
Hi Pandora, i love to see your reaction videos of Nightwish. For me they are the best band in the world 😍 I also have another recommendation for you. If you like surprises, then try this masterpiece of our Dutch genius Arjen Anthony Lucassen with 11 awesome singers (I won't spoil who they are, but i think you will recognize some of them 😉): Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. Here is the link to the video: ruclips.net/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/видео.html
You will be blown away by all the talented musicians and singers! You won't be dissappointed....I PROMISE! Hope to see your reaction to this masterpiece soon and for now....Greetings, stay safe and lots of love from The Netherlands, Martin
Hi, this song is one of my favorite NW songs. I have listened that tens of times and always it's just so good. What you said in the begining about the lyrics of Pink Floyd songs, the same goes with NW lyrics too. They are sometimes poetic, meaningful, they make you think and sometimes you have to listen the song a couple of times to really get into them. As Tuomas has said every song has a story behind it. These two versions I wouldn't compare with each other. The Nightwish version is a different song based on a Pink Floyd song. They are from the different eras, played with different style and so on. Still they both are great songs. If you'd like to find out more about NW songwriting and composing, you might like these videos. NIGHTWISH - Making of new album 2015; Episode 1: The Cabin (OFFICIAL TRAILER) - ruclips.net/video/BB1IrA8FwrY/видео.html. There are 21 episodes all together. Those episodes give you a nice setup, how everything is put together. Thanks for your reaction, it was nice to hear your ideas of this song. By the way I'm ok, not freezing this morning. Only -5 and waiting the snowfall to come. See you.
This is a mistake of many Nightwish fans, they usually talk about Nightwish having 3 singers so far. No, there were and are 4 singers, Tarja, Anette, Marco and Floor. When Tarja had to leave, Marco took over the frontpart in Nightwish before Anette came.
The guy with the guitar is Emppu the guitar wizard 🤘
He's so cool 😎!
Hi i have some bands for a change so now and then. Please check tem out, Sabaton with Christmas Truce, Evergrey with In Orbit, Northward with While love died. In all those songs Floor is featuring.
To copy Pink Floyd would be insanity ...Nightwish made it their own ..A fantastic Tribute to a legendary band
I agree!
Brilliant reaction to a brilliant song! 👍🏻🙂
Country singer Cody Jinks (who is also amazing btw) does an outstanding cover of “Wish You Were Here”. Just sayin… 🙂 since you were interested in really good Pink Floyd covers. You will love the steel guitar in his cover. Very haunting and beautiful.
I'm going to have to look that up! Thank you! ❤️
Yup! Gilmour is a God, Marko is one of a kind whole-package-deal, Pink Floyd and Nightwish in one is simply too much goodness... we're not worthy. I'm subscribing.
In my opinion, Nightwish/Marko "Disturbed" the hell out of this song. As an old school PF fan, I was dismissive of High Hopes/Division Bell back when it was released. NW's tribute is impossible to dismiss. Thanks PP!
THE ULTIMATE MODERN ROCK EDITION EVER. DEDICATED TO PINK FLOID
Not really a cover. More of a tribute. An homage. Nightwish is outstanding. Who else could have done it justice? It takes an extraordinary band to match the tone given by Pink Floyd. And Marko.....damn. Insane talent.
After this Show, they fired Tarja. The open Letter is written. And here nobody smile (Emppu). This Tribute to Pink Floyd is full of Sadness,and in the same time of Angry.(Marko) 🤘
You are awesome
❤️
Poor Jukka with a migraine. Hence Tuomas with the little head nod to Emppu to go check on him. Then Emppu jumps off the riser for the solo.
I like this better than the PF version I have to say. I love a good reworking of a song
I agree, it was amazing!
Nothing Better than the original.if you haven't heard the original you should give it a Listen. but this version isn't bad
For me it's the other way round. But I can understand if you love the original, then nothing can surpass it for you. :-)
@@mitchthepower yeah that's true. I've been a Follower of Pink Floyd's all thru my life. Since Meddle in 71 or 72. In fact Floyd is my Favorite Band followed by Band Maid
Finally you are back to Nightwish :D
Tuomas (mr Nightwish on the keyboards) didn't just make a cover of this because he "found it", He always have thoughts behind his songs, and in this case his arrengement of the Tribute to Pink Floyd, after this concert their original singer Tarja Turunen got booted (long story) but she didn't know it during this concert but the rest of the bandmembers dit... "Spookee..."
So the song has a real mening in the light of the fact that Open Letter to Tarja was already written, (perhaps Tarja had "High Hopes"? ;) ) and if you want more info about this? there is a lot in the community regarding this.
Yes, the letter gives incredible meaning to the choice of the song: so heartbreaking for them all 💔
Just to clarify, Tarja didn't know that she was going to get booted so abruptly, but she did know that this was probably going to be her last concert with the band. She herself told them that she would record one more album with them, but would not do any concerts after the new album was released. So in that context, she knew that this was her "goodbye" performance for the fans of Nightwish.
You said you want to hear Pink Floyd covers-have a listen to Mossiaes-Another Brick in the Wall.....acoustic
🔥❤️
Hi Pandora I totally agree about your reaction you either GET GILMOUR OR YOU DON'T he's always been a trailblazer IMO LOL.
BUT how GOOD is MARCO as a tribute you couldn't get better.
NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥
MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻
My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on RUclips.
And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound,
this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎
Marco is singing solo on this one.
Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction.
AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO?
The second also hardly on RUclips, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻
Enjoy it, and I with you!
Please reaction xandria - nightfall / valentine 🙏🙏🙏
I love NW! I love them since 1997! But i hate that Marco leave the band! I hate that sooo much!!! I wish him only the best, but after all what happend, Tarja (had to) leave the band, that the 1st drummer Jukka got ill and leave the band, how long they searched for a singer like Floor and so on, after all that happend and much more we don't know i would never have thought that Marco also would do this to the band and his friends.
😊🇫🇮❤️🤘🎶🎹🎸🥁✨👍
That is the song that makes Marko Hietala shine . High Hopes from Pink Floyd . Better and more rocking version than the original song ... Be sure that song was Tuoma's choice , cause he is a crazy fan of Pink Floyd ... Marko did the miracle!
I love the band too like Tuomas does but I prefer that version for this song . It's sublime . Emppu here he' s showing his class as a lead guitarist !
Thank you Marko for that performance ... was men 's theme ! I ' m really sad when I see Jukka Nevalainen behind drums , I can't believe that is not in the band any more ... but Marko the same is absent now from the band and I love them both ... Too pitty ... what can I say !
I didn't realize that Jukka had left!
@@PandoraPlaysMusic Jukka , the pirate, was the original drummer of the band for lots of years ... At 2015 , before they make their new album officially with Floor Jansen as leader in vocals , Jukka had issues with bad forms of insomnia .
And quit from the band , but before that , he brought his friend to the band who now is the new drummer of the band , Kai Hahto from Wintersun ... Very professional drummer too... That album was Endless forms most Beautiful, 25 of March 2015.
The performance here is from End of Era concert 2005 the last concert with Tarja Turunen as a lead vocalist , the original first queen , then they had Annette Olzon until 2013 , and unofficially Floor Jansen at Wacken open concert 2013 and then Floor officially is the leader vocalist of the band with the previous album that I have said about . 3 eras , 3 queens 1 band , 1 legit history to be listen to!
If you want to see the knew drummer at work if you didn't do search of 7 days to the wolves , and Poet and the Pendulum , live Wembley Arena concert 2016 . Two songs that will make you love Kai Hahto , he's a machine!
Well , i have still hope that Marco may be come back to Nightwish , because he left not because of Tensions between Band Members . It was because of some issues in the Background because of the Label , the share of Money the Band got , the share he got and he wanted more Time for himself and his Family . There is a shift away from optical media ( CD ) to online streaming ( MP4 ) since a long Time , resulting in less money for the artists and Labels and more for the online Plattforms .
You're right, maybe he will come back!
🤟🇫🇮😎👍
What about a female fronted band from Germany wich has stylistic influences from Korn, Slipknot and In This Moment?
-> Null Positiv
Their highly charismatic, energetic and powerful singer Elli Berlin has a large range from clean over harsh vocals up (or better down) to growls. Her voice is really unique in a very positive way.
A band that is definitely worth to be reacted to
The song "Independenz" is a very good song to experience the range of singer Elli Berlin:
ruclips.net/video/QpvgryCwxeo/видео.html
I love their power ballad „Wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer“ (incl. English caption) which such an intense atmosphere. Ellis voice and charisma is just awesome:
ruclips.net/video/lOIy-i6c_iI/видео.html
Anther good start to get to know them is also „Freiheit“ (Freedom), which has English subtitles:
ruclips.net/video/5GaqkD3jJB8/видео.html
Their song „Friss Dich auf“ is pure heaviness and has a creepy video:
ruclips.net/video/V6CJ0Rq8sZU/видео.html
Hass” (Hate“ Yes, it is as heavy as you can guess by the title)
ruclips.net/video/wo4Ppm6QzpQ/видео.html
I never noticed it before, but is that a French-Canadian accent I detect?
Ouiii!
@@PandoraPlaysMusic Ah ben, ah ben, ah ben :)
I Here Nightwish for over 15 years i have never see that Empu makes a big Show from his Gitarr Solos the ride Feet on the Monitor the Gitarr on his Knie and he play his Solos minimalistic and with absolut Style
I have to admit, your "enjoyment" was very distracting (good for you). Your distraction was my enjoyment. 😉
Besides that, Pink Floyd is one of my all time favs.
Keep the distractions coming!
Btw. If you want to hear a Pink Floyd-like band and if you wanna hear/see a very young (some 22 years ago) Troy Donockley (Nightwish) on flute and pipes, then react to MOSTLY AUTUMN (Pink Floyd like sound) with a song called "The Night Sky" : ruclips.net/video/nPFWFe6e4ZY/видео.html
High Hopes on steroids.
Can you react to Tarja's version of the song "Ghost Love Score"? It's from End of an Era DVD. Tarja's voice put this song to an another dimension, you will like it.
Definitely want to listen to it, thank you!:)
If Gilmore is a god. What is Roger Waters then ?
Can he be a Good too?! ;)
🇬🇧 Norfolk division strapped in and ready to go.
Marco was their second bass player people forget that and Jukka can play it’s just the personality we will miss but wish him well
