The spoken part roughly translates to "If I play the chorus, you're gonna sing along, right?" - "Yeah!" - "Are you sure?" - "Yeah!" - "Ok, let's do it" Marko wrote the music with his first band Tarot, but it didn't fit with them. Tuomas heard him playing it one day, decided it would make a great song, and wrote the lyrics about a lonely lighthouse keeper. From the 2007 Dark Passion Play album, Anette era. Marko's double neck is called The Beast. It is a Warwick Infinity bass and Framus Panthera guitar combo. Very heavy and very expensive. There is another spoken just before the video starts where Marko says that he is just 1 man with a guitar in front of 20k people , so he better come up with something. And that the other weasels doubled back and left him. 🤣 Glad the 'weasels came back. As others have mentioned , Troy is playing an Irish Low whistle, one of many instruments that he plays. Pipes Whistles, guitar , with and without EBOW. Check out "I Want My Tears Back" live in Buenos Aires 2018 (Decades DVD released 2019) for a good look at Troy, and Floor dancing all over the stage.
Floor normally is the leadsinger but I often have the feeling that she liked it to give Marko the lead from time to time. You can see the joy on her face when listening to Marko's great performance and just supporting him. Their voices blend so perfectly! In an interview after Marko left Nightwish you can feel how much she misses him. Troy does his best now also in singing but he has a totally other kind of voice, a soft folk voice and not nearly as strong as Marko's voice. I can imagine that this sometimes causes problems for Floor although it fits very well when Troy sings backvocals or parts in softer songs.
Who can boast of having Floor as a backing vocalist?🤩 BTW did you know their new album Yesterwinde (winde pronounced as in winding road) is out? (You reacted already to 2 pre-release songs) Check Lanternlight, beautiful Floor ballad.

That is Troy playing a low whistle. Troy plays many different traditional whistle and other instruments. Marko is very into the type of fireside bard singing.
A little late on commenting, but Troy's background is in Celtic folk and he's a master of the Uillean Pipes, along with many other traditional instruments. As others have commented, this is a Low Whistle, a larger sized variant of a traditional tin whistle also known as a "concert whistle". It's considered ideal for playing airy, haunting melodies, but it's become more prevalent for playing things that tin whistles are normally used for as well because of it being easier to perform complex fingering on the larger holes! With that said, you've done 2 Nightwish Music videos and marveled at the art of them previously, you HAVE to do the music video for Noise! That is another piece of brilliant visual art, and another case of the song structure and style being something outside of what most people expect of Nightwish. It's one of their heavier ones, more in line with Romanticide, for example!
Hello Sir, greetings from UK That was another great reaction, thank you 😊 The new album has many more orchestral instruments as an integral part of each song compared to other albums I think you would really appreciate their new song "An Ocean Of Strange Islands". Lots of brass in that song
The instrument Troy is playing is called a Long Whistle, I believe - or something like that. It is an Irish instrument again!!! I equate its tone with the tenor recorder, more than the bass recorder. I have both; and the descant/soprano that we were taught in school!! I don't (yet) have a sopranino, which is the really high one. Like a piccolo.
@@ShawkaReacts, I’m pretty sure the long one is a low whistle and if you watch Last of the Wilds from Wacken 2013 he uses a little one which is the tin whistle and if you watch My Walden from this same concert he plays the Uilien pipes and the low whistle ! Troy plays many instruments lol , thx for the reaction ! 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
@@ShawkaReacts A ´Low Whistle´ (not a LONG whistle, although it is quite "Long", physically) Troy Donockley truly is such a bard with the abilities to handle quite a wide range of different instruments on ANY gig, sometimes multiple different ones in One track, while on stage with this magical band. From Wind instruments to String pickin´ of Bouzouki(A Mandoline - like axe) + guitars, whether them are electric or acoustic type of instruments. Not to mention that he acted as a third vocalist back in the days when Marko H was still in the line - up. Been a part of this group´s musicality since 2007. The versatility of the songs gives the whole band the opportunity to play a variety of instruments at every gig. That not all sounds have to be on the background tape*, which already has a big pile of many different sounds. "An Ace in the Sleeve" for the band´s live performances. * Backing Track, if you prefer
@@ShawkaReacts no i mean as a thing, not just troys thingy. Recorder should record stuff not make noice right. I believe it’s only english that’s not calling them flutes. I was just wondering about the history of why eng calls it recorder. If any one know.
@@Mrjobe_ Apparently it comes from an old French word "recordeur", a kind of minstrel, someone who learned songs ("recorded" them) and then performed them accompanied by instruments, like flutes. And somehow the name got transferred to the instrument. It's a convoluted word history from Latin to Mediaeval French and then English.

If I am not mistaken it is called a Low Whistle
that is right.
And it has quite limited range, so Troy has like a dozen of them in a barrel next to him.
Not sure if you have heard Nightwish with Marko singing High Hope. It’s amazing
I concur!
Irish Low Whistle
How many people can say that Floor Jansen was their back up singer?🤘🎸
Floor normally is the leadsinger but I often have the feeling that she liked it to give Marko the lead from time to time.

Well at least Russell Allan, Robert Soeterboek, Damian Wilson and, of course, Arjen Lucassen.
Well, Joakim from Sabaton can also say that 😃Floor has been recording back vocals and/or soundtrack editions on Sabaton albums since The Last Stand

Backing singer should go far,,😎

I believe it's an Irish low-D whistle.

Actually Marko composed the music and Tuomas wrote the lyrics.

Troy Plays a variety of Whistles both small and very large. I'm sure he's played his share of Recorders but never seen him play one for Nightwish?.
Maybe an eargasm?
Do you blame him look at the caliber of the musicians he's working with.
Nice huh?
Why do you call it "recorder"? It's a flute. Not all flutes are sideways.
Because it looks like a recorder.
