Pink Floyd was my introduction to rock growing up, my dad's favorite band I discovered his albums and fell in love, but I absolutely prefer the cover to the original, though many close minded people will scream blasphemy I'm certainly not one of them.
@@snozbaries7652 yes.. you can, this is an example... and disturbed the sound of silence is another one.. few.. it is true.. but they are possible. In no way that mean the originals are not good, you can`t make a good cover out of a trash you know.
IMHO Emppu shines here as much as Marko. Let's just say that Nightwish is a band made up of musicians at the top of their game especially since they added Floor & Troy. Just a exceptional group of over-achievers.
When Emppu covers one of the greatest guitarists of all time... Not a word about him... got a bit sad to be fair... If there was no David Gilmour there would be no PF... Just my opinion...
Totally agree. Epic performances from all of them. Jukka, particularly, really gets into his performance. But then, he always did. Empuu, immaculate in his solos, and a gorgeous tone from his guitar. Marko has such a powerful voice, with a lovely vibrato and timbre, yet to look at him perform, it's effortless, just like Floor. And we can't forget Tuomas. In producing his tribute to Pink Floyd, I feel he has improved on the original, and I love Pink Floyd. If you didn't know of the original, this song could have been written specifically for Marko's vocals, so easy is his 'fit' into the song.
Could not said it better myself, I really believe Nightwish did this song better. I saw Pink Floyd live three times they will always be one of my favorite bands, but like you I have to admit this version is better, which I thought I’d never say when it comes to other bands/artists covering Pink Floyd! Great job, stay safe Rock On!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is a great cover. Marko is at his best here. He has the right a little sinister tone on his voice (like David Gilmour). Good job from them and you.
Don't think I've seen you post a reaction to Nightwish's: "The Islander" live from Tampere. If you really want to hear Marco's vocal soar! A Must Listen to.
For oddballs on Marko singing: he's been in super group called Northern Kings covering pop and rock songs in metal. And he was also singing on Sapattivuosi on the Dio years album. Sapattivuosi did covers of Black Sabbath in Finnish and when they got to Dio years they called Marko in. And let me tell you, those are big shoes to fill.
from the beginning with the single bell notes to the impressive single note ending, Nightwish has created the ultimate tribute to Pink Floyd. Not enough words to express my complete admiration of Nightwish.
Always been a PF fan, since the early 70s and seen them a couple times. This cover is an extreme tribute to a world clas band from a world class band. It for sure is not better than the original, nor is it worse. It's completely different. Never the less, I love it.
Thank you for this. ❤️🎶❤️ I really really love this version and performance. It gives me the feels every single time. Marko's voice, Tuomas living and breathing the song, Jukka as good as ever and Emppu's solo. All perfect. And the moody lighting.
Playing bass and singing also has the thing that at least in many Nightwish songs bass and drums are in different rhythm than vocals and guitar. And still Marko seamlessly plays rather complex patterns on the bass while singing.
symphony of destruction - Nightwish live in Canada. Isani aani (solo song). In the air tonight (Phil Collins) northern kings No Emppu love? the mid 8 is my favourite part, he’s such an underrated guitarist, talented as f 🤘
What makes this live performance even more special is that Jukka was most likely suffering from a migraine attack since he was holding his head between his hands & also hanging it very low at times. Tuomas also tried to signal Emppu by looking at & gesturing him to check out Jukka. Moreover, Tarja's husband asked Marko backstage after the show how on earth he could pull it off because also Marko was really sick that day. P.S. Why not check out Marko live in one of the shows he did while touring after his first solo album "Mustan Sydämen Rovio / Pyre of the Black Heart": MARKO HIETALA - Star, Sand And Shadow (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) ruclips.net/video/kqgEy0sLvg4/видео.html
Hello .. I am one of the supporters of regardless of the type of music that you like, one has to admit the talent of a group ... In this case I can only get carried away by Nightwish, talent, creativity, sound that tears the senses .. In all the expression a meeting of exceptional musicians who create not only music but also sensations ... greetings from Spain.
You say it is hard to cover a Pink Floyd song. Well, than it must be even harder to do what Nightwish did I suppose, which is cover a Pink Floyd song and make it, in my opinion, much better than the original.
Facts and fun facts Tarja was the vocalist, she wasn't aware it would be her last gig, during High hopes she was changing her costume. Jukka was holding his head because of migraine bought on by insomnia bought on by depression, he would eventually stop apart from the occasional guest spot, playing. The bells on Toumas's finger nails and the Jack Sparrow on the keyboard. Notice the subtle homage to pink Floyd, the circle above Jukka.
This is more a tribute to Pink Floyd than cover. However, this version is so awesome and they nailed it together. By the way...Marco did a solo album where he sings as main vocalist "My Fathers Voice" etc....do those too.
After i first his this version I went and checked out the original by Pink Floyd.....rabbid Floyd fan here, but I have to say, this version is better than the original. Just my opinion, but the phrase Division bell, strikes true for the time it was made, this was just before or just after the split I think.
I’ve always said that Nightwish can change the female vocalist all the times they want and it’ll be alright, but the moment Marco leaves the band, it will never be the same again. Marco gives Nightwish something that makes it special.
Marko Hietala (pron: HEE-ah-Tallah) is a classically trained guitarist, *bassist, songwriter and talented vocalist both solo and in harmony! He has a particularly fluid vocal style, which is all the more impressive bc the bass line is so different!
Dude! Kiitos! A friend of mine was a life-long Pink Floyd fan from the Syd Barrett days. Played this for him once and he asked me to play it again and asked "Who is it!?"... Made a new Nightwish fan that day on the strength of this song!... Marko likes singing with Floor because he does not have to hold back any more!.... Nightwish used to play a lot of covers for which Marko was the singer - videos are here on YT! I didn't like that you talked over Emppu's guitar!!! Pausing and rewinding would have been better - otherwise, good job!
Ashes to the Stars from same concert I enjoy - fascinating song cause I can hear so many influences in it - Iron Maiden in particular but also traces of Black Sabbath, early Queen, The Cult and others 🤘🤘🤘🤘
From Tarot, "Tides" is an absolute MUST hear, "Grey" is one of my top favorite songs of all time across any band, also "Hell Knows" and "Undead Son" are great. IMO, studio version is ideal for all of those, Marco is great live but I've always preferred studio for them. I've been waiting so long for a Nightwish reactor to ask for Tarot stuff, so I hope you enjoy them :)
Great review, love your enthusiasm and respect for the performance, not talking over it etc. I love this song and I love Nightwish, what a combination 😍
Marko IS GOOD! It’s interesting when the band has two really good singers and what they can perform! Marko’s first band was Tarot, which he formed with his brother (guitarist). There are basically two singers in the band, but Marko is considered to be that lead singer. Tarot: "Tides" live: ruclips.net/video/BwnApXz7jrY/видео.html
Thanks for doing this, Johnny 💞 one of my favorite Marko performances. His vocals are phenomenal. Master Passion Greed is a controversial song for some, but you really hear his intensity in how he uses his voice in that song. Endlessness is another one that’s just beautiful. But if you want to hear an “Anette/Marko” song that hasn’t been played much live, check out the album version of “Rest Calm” from the Imaginaerum Album 🥰 thanks again, Johnny
@@PowerfulReactions Outside of those 2. This is going on how well known they are as singing bassists & as good as Araya was, how well known is he outside of the metal fraternity?
This was so beautifully done. Markko just nails this. I have to admit (sorry!) I do prefer this over the original. Jukka, Empuu and Tuomas also killing it as always. An emotional masterpiece of a banger. 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼❤️🎤🔥 🎸
Nice reaction...The Islander, Tampere would be a good one for you. Marko top marks for this effort. I love PF original too. Credit due here to each band member, Tuomas for superbly transcribing into NW style, Emppu for his brilliant solos (hard to compete with Gilmour), and Jukka who just drives the whole piece forward.
Everytime I get double, if not even trible goose pumbs listening to this Masterpiece. By far the best Cover I've ever heard. Thanks a lot for sharing Your thoughts with us 🤘
Anything from Tarot - Undead Indeed (Live at Rupla 2007) 💀 Rider of the Last Day is my personal favorite of Tarot songs ❤ actually it is one of my all time favorite from any band! And if I remember correctly Marko himself has said it is one of their best songs. From 'Back in the Fire' or 'Veteran of the psychic Wars' (Blue Öyster Cult cover) you'll get a better impression of Tommi Salmela the other singer of Tarot.
And for more Marko stuff you could try Northern Kings or Powerless Trio. All Hietala Power Trio has Marko on vocals his brother Saku on guitar and Marko's son Miro on drums.
If you want to hear some more singing from Marco, check his other formation the Northern Kings. In the cover "In The Air Tonight", he is the one singing only but I would also recommend some of their songs where the entire group does vocals, like "Kiss From a Rose" or "We Don't Need Another Hero".
"...but It's also crazy to see a bass player playing bass and singing." Geddy Lee of Rush: Hold my beer and watch this! Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd: Yeah, what Geddy said! Peter Cetera, formerly of Chicago: I'm with those guys! Paul McCartney: Good day, old chaps! Sting: I'm going to have to meditate on this. Jack Bruce of Cream: I want a beer! Gene Simmons of Kiss: Pass me a beer too! John Wetton of King Crimson, Asia: Make that three! Lemmy, founder of Motorhead: Hey, are we having a party?! There are lots more, but that's all I could pull from the top of my head right now. So maybe not so crazy afterall...
They boys are all supposedly major PF fans, and so is Troy. I would be curious to see what Nightwish today (with Troy+Floor) would do with something else from Pink Floyd's back catalog. Maybe The Great Gig in the Sky off off Dark Side of the Moon?
I don't know if you've already been recommended it, but for more Marko goodness, you should check out The Islander. It's such an amazing song, with Marko as lead singer. While Your Lips Are Still Red is also a very powerful song.
Agree with other Pink Floyd fans comments. This is a great if darker version of one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs. Is it better? Doesn't matter.! Just depends how you are feeling at the time.
Chiming in late, but for singing bass players not named Marko Hietala - Paul McCartney, Lemmy, Sting, Gene Simmons, Geddy Lee. That's just who I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure I've missed a few.
Hey, you want more Marko? Herre is something for you: Dethmarch for freedom and Stones by Marko. Living after midnight, I see fire and Holy diver by Powerless trio. We don´t need another hero and Take on me by Northern kings. Good work there man!
Thanks for great reaction! Unusual to say, but US is behind on appreciation of a great art form; but I am committed on changing that. Only found this amazing band in last two months, but has been life changing. Their songs, camaraderie touch the soul. I am a proud new member of the NW Army!
I enjoyed your reaction, but there were more than two people playing this song. You made no mention of Emppu the guitarist nor Jukka the drummer, both of whom performed to a world class standard!
Man, I know Marco stands out here the most, but... Talking over Emppu's i think most Complex/tasteful/outstanding solo, is almost a crime. Like, I know it, but you might miss it! 😎🙂
Ich bin Pink Floyd Fan seit 1977 und habe alle Alben von Ihnen der Titel ist von der Devision Bell und ja Marcos Version ist besser als das Orginal gesungen von David Gilmour. 🤘🤘
It is awesome. What a performance Don't forget to give Jukka some love❤🧡💛. Tarja was back stage changing outfits👍🏻👍🏻 You might like this MARKO HIETALA - Isäni ääni (Official video)" ruclips.net/video/Kp_kNvPQlq8/видео.html
Famous Bass playing lead singers: Jack Bruce, of Cream; Paul McCartney (Beatles); Sting (The Police); Geddy Lee (Rush). There are plenty singing bass players. Marco is a great vocalist (especially on this song) but that he is doing while playing bass is not particularly remarkable. All these guys who are not “not Nightwish” (they very much ARE Nightwish) are fantastic with “High Hopes”, but for me it’s Emppu that stands out.
I'm a Finn and a long time Nightwish fan, but this version I'm afraid is not superior to the original. This is a goddamn good cover version, but to be superior Marco would have to pace his words differently. Best cover version of this song I've heard, but surpassing the original - not by a long shot!
Do you know that Marko Hietala has a sólo album, don't you? You have to listen to the voice of my father from Marko's solo album the Pire of the Black Hearts
I am a old PF fan and this was better than the original. Everybody in the Nightwish band did a superb job!
Pink Floyd was my introduction to rock growing up, my dad's favorite band I discovered his albums and fell in love, but I absolutely prefer the cover to the original, though many close minded people will scream blasphemy I'm certainly not one of them.
You can never be better than the original...that's crazy. This is the best cover of this song imo though.
@@snozbaries7652 yes.. you can, this is an example... and disturbed the sound of silence is another one.. few.. it is true.. but they are possible. In no way that mean the originals are not good, you can`t make a good cover out of a trash you know.

Every musician who has ever been a part of Nightwish is a master of their respective instruments and voice.
Poor Emmpu. Never gets any love for his guitar playing.
As a Pink Floyd fan. I have to admit this is better than original.
Emppu 😍 I silently worship him. Always 🤘
Yeah, I thought the same thing about Emppu. And I agree that this is better than the original.
I was actually about to say something, but then Marko kicked in again. Emmpu is awesome. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Could not said it better myself, I really believe Nightwish did this song better. I saw Pink Floyd live three times they will always be one of my favorite bands, but like you I have to admit this version is better, which I thought I’d never say when it comes to other bands/artists covering Pink Floyd! Great job, stay safe Rock On!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Every guitar player I know (I am one too) raves about Emppu's playing. We all love the way he always serves the song, and never his ego.
I actually like this version better than the original!
TAROT - TIDES live. BRILLIANT. From Undead Indeed 2006
😎🤘
This is the best and most powerful!
Michael Wanklin - Yes yes, this is must to see and hear song from Tarot, And of cause, live - Undead Indeed Live 👍 👏 ❤️
To me, the most impressive performer here is Empu
This is a great cover. Marko is at his best here. He has the right a little sinister tone on his voice (like David Gilmour). Good job from them and you.
Yeah, you talked over Emppu’s solo, nice work.
Exactly what I was Thinking.
😂Sorry
Emmpu go go go go ... outstanding guitar play .
when i watch him.. i feel like.. he is living this world.. he goes in a world where is just his guitar and him.. i just get that feeling.
I am not a PF fan, but Nightwish really does this song very well.
I am a huge Pink Floyd fan and agree with you that this is a fantastic version of this song 👍
Don't think I've seen you post a reaction to Nightwish's: "The Islander" live from Tampere. If you really want to hear Marco's vocal soar! A Must Listen to.
I think, that I'll have to include that one soon, as a lot of you guys have mentioned to me today. Thanks 🤘😎

this song fits perfectly and describes the mood and the situation the band was faced that time, especially that night... the last concert of Tarja...

Maybe the Islander live Tampere, is good one🔥🤘
Waiting for that one too
For Marco's Voice check-up Kiss while their lips are still Red!!!!! Live
Sounds good 🤘
The grass was greener, the light was brighter and his voice was amazing-er

Must see Wings of Darkness by Tarot (Official Video 2011) Marco rocks out vocally and his brother Zachery is on lead guitar.
Marko did this in a very good way. But the best score is Empuu with Marko together....
You have to react to Tarot's Wings of Darkness from '86 and maybe do even a double reaction with also the version from 2011.
I’ve always said that Nightwish can change the female vocalist all the times they want and it’ll be alright, but the moment Marco leaves the band, it will never be the same again. Marco gives Nightwish something that makes it special.

Ich bin Pink Floyd Fan seit 1977 und habe alle Alben von Ihnen der Titel ist von der Devision Bell und ja Marcos Version ist besser als das Orginal gesungen von David Gilmour. 🤘🤘

Famous Bass playing lead singers: Jack Bruce, of Cream; Paul McCartney (Beatles); Sting (The Police); Geddy Lee (Rush). There are plenty singing bass players. Marco is a great vocalist (especially on this song) but that he is doing while playing bass is not particularly remarkable. All these guys who are not “not Nightwish” (they very much ARE Nightwish) are fantastic with “High Hopes”, but for me it’s Emppu that stands out.
Anything Nightwish touches turns to gold. Did you delete your Insta?
It got hacked, should be back up soon though.
Powerful Reactions that’s insane. Wow.
I know and also my Facebook...

Powerful Reactions that’s terrible. I don’t understand why people do that kind of thing.
Yeah it's awful, but I managed to stop it rather fast. So I don't think anything bad happened.
Have you even seen a Rush video? Talking about singing base players.
you shoud check from his latest album as well, this one is called stones,ruclips.net/video/ifc3gBsM6B0/видео.html

I'm a Finn and a long time Nightwish fan, but this version I'm afraid is not superior to the original.
This is a goddamn good cover version, but to be superior Marco would have to pace his words differently.
Best cover version of this song I've heard, but surpassing the original - not by a long shot!

Do you know that Marko Hietala has a sólo album, don't you? You have to listen to the voice of my father from Marko's solo album the Pire of the Black Hearts
