Amazing | 3 Generation Reaction | Nightwish | Ever Dream 

Marko left the band about three years ago, citing mental health issues. He was replaced by Jukka Koskinen, the bassist from Wintersun. Jukka Nevalainen, the drummer in this video, stepped away from his position a couple of years before that due to chronic and severe insomnia. Jukka is still part of the Nightwish organization, but he's in a management role now. His replacement on drums is Kai Hahto, also from Wintersun. Let's just say that the Finnish music scene is a large, but close, family, always willing to help each other out!

Donna,you are delightful,please don't sell yourself short. Each one of you are precious,never forget that !! ❤

I am 72, have seen the best rock bands, in euroland, and US, live, meet beachboys and 3 dog night back stage in seattle. however, top 3 rock bands all time is Nightwish, pink floyd, beatles

Even though Marco left, since you like him so much, you should react to The Islander live from Tampere 2015.

Yes there are words to describe Nightwish music, Opus Perfectum 😉

Behind the artist there is a man. In his own words, Marko was a starving musician before he joined Nightwish. They accomplished a lot together, 20 years is a very long time. Marko also always had a lot of other stuff besides Nightwish. Nightwish's operation is so huge these days (1½ year long world tours, crew usually over +50 people and all other stuff) that he wanted a change in life and make music on a slightly smaller scale. I went to his solo show last spring and it made me feel so happy because he looked energised, happy and healthy.

Yes, Marco Hietala (bass & vocals) left Nightwish in 2021 after the 2020 album 'Human Nature'... and will not be on the next Nightwish album... He recently reconciled w/ former Nightwish vocalist Tarja Turunen and has a tour w/ her... Now, Marco has a history prior to Nightwish... he was the singer of his band Tarot and he joined Nightwish around 2002 after replacing the original bassist Sami Vanska... Tuomas (keyboards) wanted a male singer in Nightwish and was a fan of Tarot... Marco also recently released a solo album 'Pyre of the Black Heart' in 2020... Apparently, he had been unhappy w/ the demands and dividends that Nightwish were giving him for some time and opted to leave in 2021 and carry on w/ his own solo endeavors. Nightwish returned to tour (after the pandemic restrictions were lifted) w/ bassist Jukka Koskinen (of Wintersun) and he joined the band permanently.

Probably my favorite "normal length" Nightwish tune.

.🇫🇮❤This song is about longing for a connection with the person one loves. It deals with the desire for a companion and the risks of taking chances to find one. The lyrics emphasize that even after failure , one can still find solace in ones dreams of the object of affection. Ultimately, the song is about never giving up on the hope of finding true love.

Another great reaction by you three beautiful ladies, keep it up. 🤗💪🔥 Nightwish will always blow your mind, it's the music for the soul, and you can't ever get enough of it. 🔥🔥🔥 Greetings from Croatia. 🇭🇷

Marko left Nightwish in 2021 to take care of his mental health (depression) and some other reasons. Last year he came back to doing music (not to Nightwish) and, as much as I miss him in Nightwish, he made the right decision. He looks happier and healthier then in a long time. Tommy announced leaving Sabaton less then a month ago (though he didn't leave yet, he's leaving after us tour) and I believe he's doing the right thing, just like Marko

THE POWER!!!!!!!!

Hello ladies, greetings from UK Your reactions are the highlight of my day, thank you 😊 The sheer power in Marko and Floor's vocals in this song gets me every time, as does Jukka's (drummer) legs going wild stomping in the pedals to get that really fast beat

One of the songs that all 3 lead singers have sung. Floor has said it is one of the more challenging for her to sing. From the 2002 Century Child album, the 4th album and first one after Marko joined in 2001. The studio version didn't start out softer, that is a change they made when they took it live. Marko left 3 years ago now, for personal reasons. He wrote a letter, which is still posted on the band's website. The 'pipes' around Tuomas' keyboard stand, are a tribute to Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, and are made to resemble the Sibelius monument in Helsinki.

I've always had a theory about crowd surfing. It seems like a quick and easy way to get out of a huge crowd and to the porta-potties in a hurry. There are usually several on the left and right ends of the stage. 🤔🤘

You 3 are so much fun to watch. It's always a hoot. You got to my favorite song from this concert. EVER DREAM nails it. Wait until you get to NEMO, ROMANTICIDE and SONG of MYSELF. Hold on for all 3 of them. When you're ready to see what Marko can do, watch HIGH HOPES from the End of an Era concert. There are no words to describe it. Keep havin' fun

Marko left in the early 2021. I met him in person on the the Summer 2021 in my hometown. We had a a nice little chat. Unfortunately he's not coming back to Nightwish. I've seen them live after Marko's leaving, and they are still doing just fine. ⛄👍

My god, since very first notes, my whole body shivers, and it doesnt stop until very last ones :) thanks for this react!

7:08 Jukka "the drumer" is in the hous!!!! 7:18 Jukka starts the engine(double bass drum) and floor is unstoppable the light show goes on... i love the drums.. nice greeting from Nightwish Army Germany

Best reaction channel ever! This is the essence of the whole phenomenon.

Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back (Floor Jansen) [Decades - Live In Buenos Aires 2019] its an awsome performance.even dancing on stage

I was waiting for y'all to react to Everdream. That's the very first video from Nightwish that I saw a little over a year ago and I am now addicted to Nightwish. 😂

Though I might watch this before catching my bus, as this is my favorite band. Missed the bus - so only a short walk instead. Nightwish Army in New Zealand.

Floor is 1.83m tall, (6ft),her sister Irene about the same height. The Dutch are recognised as the tallest people on Earth.😊

There are great musicians in the world. Its amazing that a platform like youtube can connect people that love music and introduce them to bands that they would have never heard on a local radio station or in tv or at awards.

I really really miss Jukka on drums. He is so good and what style 🥁🥁 His double kick always gets me 😊😎

Just letting you know the keyboardist Thomas writes all the songs for nightwish

Kathy,you are so beautiful, your smile defines you !! ❤️

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘Well done ladies, Lulu is completely better again and there is much more for you to discover for Nightwish but also Floor individually

what is really crazy that most of the nightwish Videos out there are from on concert: 2013 Wacken - i had the pleasure to be there and that day nightwish really was incredible

such a great example of how those two sang together, and a great song!

Lulu I don't know if anyone told you but Floor once said that Marco taught her how to take care of her hair during touring. She could have been joking but no one who've seen Marco's hair would doubt that, right. 🤓🇸🇪

Floor says that Ever Dream us the song that is the hardest to sing as is so demanding on her vocal cords,

Hey girls, again nice comment. Another tip: Disdain of ReVamp, Floor in action in her former band.

The pipes are an ode to one of Tuomas favorite composer, Silibus, Finland's churches are noteable for their pipe organs

You could check out their latest album Human and Nature.

Great reaction ladies 😊. Recommend that you play 'Bless the Child ' epic headbanging from the Metal Mozart, the Viking and the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy 🤩. Other one is Buenos Aires, the song Dead Boy's Poem. One of the 4 Epics 😊❤

Nothing better than watching Nightwish with three beautiful women. Glad everyone is back on top!

I think there are 17 songs in this show. Usually, one of their concerts is 1 1/2 to 2 hours long, and they do not stop, though no encores, like a theatrical production, they have outro music and a big group bow at the end.

Welcome to the Nightwish -Army .🤘🤘🤘🤘

Donna is correct. Marko left Nighwish in 2020. He needed a break. He had been tour for around 35 years and needed some time off.

I like Floor Jansen controls the audience and her voice is amazing.

6:13 Nightwish is actually "Floor and the elves" hahaha, she is without her high heels still the tallest of the band :)

Great reaction as always👍👌 Please also react to A Dead Boy's Poem from Buenos Aires and Planet Hell from Hellfest. Kind regards from the Netherlands ❤❤❤

YES!!! Always love the Nightwish reactions! Great reaction as always ladies! Check out "High Hopes" if you want to hear Marco. It's a great tribute to Pink Floyd. Again, great job ladies!

Hi from Germany. Nice reaction again. Love your NW reactions😊

Did you know that Floor Jansen is another great singer from Holland. She is not delicate like Emma Kok, but raw and gigantic.

Yes. It's okay to miss Marko because he is fantastic. But he had to take care of his own health. Nightwish is still putting on incredible concerts all the way through 2023 until Floor had to stop to have her second baby, Lucy. Troy has been filling in very well on backup vocals and Floor has also been doing some of Marko's parts on certain songs. They are super fun to see live. It is exciting to know that they are in the midst of producing a new album and I can hardly wait to hear their new music. Thank you, Ladies.

Drums always ❤️

3 generaciones de lindas mujeres escuchando una de mis bandas preferidas .

nice finally my love song to Kathy be my valentine ❤🐕

Last ride of the day and dark chest of wonders i would highly recommend next :D love your nightwish reactions and glad ur enjoying ur nightwish Journey! :)

I recommend watching with the captions when possible, so you can appreciate the beauty and poetry of the lyrics as well (this applies to all Nightwish songs of course).

Love your Nigthwish reactions ladies. I think seeing 3 generations all love Nightwish says heaps about the unique appeal of this Band. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia! Check out their version of Phantom of the Opera, Live Ziggo Dome Netherlands 2022

do Islander from Tampere live, get to see what Marko can sing, change of pace. a solo by him.

Donna makes me smile! Really love your guys reactions!

Its funny to see every time when Marko sings Donna has that giddy shake :D

Ilove mammas komments🇫🇮❤️❤️❤️❤️

So, this song in particular has the current vocalist's version, which is exceptional, but also the first vocalist's version, both are very good, really, but the performance deserves to be analyzed in both cases, I'm sure you'll like it and see that even though it's just one song, each one has its own peculiarity. I even suggest you also watch The Phantom of the Opera, it's perfect

Floor are pretty tall, even with swedish measurements, with her 183 cm (6ft 1"). Luckily she found a tall husband, Hannes. Welcome to visit Sweden and whole Scandinavia ladies and go to a Nightwish concert.

Have to say, I get caught up in watching the facial reactions of y'all listening - Lulu almost looks sad at times but I can really tell when she enjoys it because she'll break out that smile. I do like the three generations and it seems your musical tastes are aligned. Nice reaction. The band personnel has changed, but the saving grace is that this concert footage was captured for posterity. One of the most enjoyable concert footage I've ever seen. And while it doesn't replace the live experience of a concert we are blessed to have available. So I went and checked out what reactions you've done on Floor's solo projects. Have to say she is a master of her instrument. I don't consider myself a Nightwish fan like the majority of the folks you'll find here (which is not meant to be a knock on Nightwish because professionally they are outstanding). I'm really a fan of Floor's and her solo projects, which, after seeing her solo performances from her appearance on the Dutch tv show Beste' Zangers solidified my fandom of Floor and she introduced me to Nightwish. So, to promote Floor I'm going to take the liberty of posting a selected playlist of live performances that I consider the most enjoyable for me from her catalog of solo projects and ones I don't see that you've covered. Hope you'll do more with her solo work. 2019 - Beste' Zangers Solo cover of "Shallow" (Lady Gaga) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M68pe4a_9zk.html Duet cover of "Phantom of the Opera" w/ Henk Poort - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-plCScjvDOJM.html Classical, cover of "Vilja Lied" in German - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lcLG5X1i2QM.htmlsi=HUiy9AYavOrwSANH 2021 - solo Amsterdam Concert **You will find these are from her channel and the entire concert is there, professionally taped provided by her fans through crowdsourcing** "Storm in a Glass" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ax5nSPB9t8.html "Slow, Love, Slow" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bBG8GdyLYDk.html "Nemo" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uebh4TuP_Xg.html 2022 - Singles from her 2023 released solo album.

If I ever get a time machine, I'm going to Wacken 2013. You have to realize that the fans were expecting Anette Olzon to be the vocalist when they bought their tickets. Check out her version of this song, and try to imagine expecting that ... and getting this. It's a big part of why the crowd was going nuts, right from the opening number ("Dark Chest of Wonders", which is well worth a reaction as well.)

Nightwish , Wacken ,Germany , live :)

Tarja - Living The Dream Tour 2024 with Marko is now going on.

Thanks

For more Marco the islander is you go to ;) or his own album

When i first heard Nightwish back in 1994/95, i was like wth is this? Since im more into brutal metal. And many many moons later now with Floor Jansen it suddenly bloomed up like a beautifull flower and since like 2 years back in time i like Nightwish more and more. Back then the singer Was Tarja. Then they had a swedish singer whom i dont remember the name of.

You girls are lovely ladies! Like your spontaneous reactions and see you fully enjoy it. And from the age point of view it suits so much Nice!

A lot of the crowd surfers are headed to the toilets. You can see them being pulled off the crowd by security folks. With 82,000 people there, that's the only way to get to the toilet. You certainly aren't going to walk through the crowd.

1 of the best Nightwish songs from 2002... there r live versions w/ all 3 Nightwish singers - Floor... Tarja ... and Anette 🤘🤘Each singer expresses the song in her own unique way & we get to enjoy them.

Of youin's go to a show I am down for a road trip. I was unable to attend their 2022 show in Chicago, IL. due to I had neck surgery and then my husband passed away as well that year.😢 . Absolutely dig you gals. Keep rockin...

Beautiful🥰🥰🥰🥰

Crowd surfing...often the quickest way to get to the toilets. And yes, Marko left the band about 2 years ago now.

forgot love Ya`ll, thanks for the reaction from Colorado.

I can recommend a few softer song, which may suit you.... Sleeping sun and my favorite, Kiss while your lips are still red.....that says it all....

The drummers drumsticks are going to start fire near the end….lol….he must have burned 1000 calories in the last 2 minutes

Kathy!

in keeping with the girl power which i love, checkout pat benatar's promises in the dark live, one of my favorite concerts back in the day, talk about a little powerhouse + she invented shoulder pads for women"s clothing i beleive, glad you're feeling better lulu

If you like Marco look at some of his recent videos singing with exit eden A must see look for exit eden "run" featering Marco. Greetings from Germany, Martin

This song was written when Tarja was still in the band

Nightwish is amazing! Another artist that performs this song is Dan Vasc. Perfection as well. ❤

Floor has said this song is for her the hardest to sing of any song in this set

Marko left Now we have Jukka Koskinen 🎉. Point

you probaly now know marko left but they have already a great new bas player but troy does now more vocals . you have to see the latest video named tribal .it is from 2023 concerts. and i think lulu have to try the windmill she had the hair for it 😅

Next Elan or Shoemaker.

Tuomas is at the keyboards, he writes the music, and night wish is his baby. Again every song on this gig is great as are all songs! Floor had been with the band 10 months here. Hard to believe isn't it? Floor is a hair over six feet, with heels, 6'1. Marco left in January 22, maybe 21, can't remember now.

Woow awesome

Please check out Floor's "Shallow" (Gaga cover) and "Phantom of the Opera" (the Nightwish arrangement w/special guest Henk Poort) from 'Beste Zangers' (a dutch singing show Floor was on)

do you like suprises? please watch Nightwish ÿours is an empty hope" live at Wembley 2015,!!

Marko left the band in January 2021 for mental health reasons. Jukka Koskinen is the current bass player.

Great reaction as always. Donna you may be old but you have young heart.

You should now react to Unleash The Archers "Awakening!" Those who know, know! 👍🤟🤘🤙

4:50 You reacted to a song they did as the last one: The Greatest Show on Earth. After that song, when they stay on stage to thank the crowd and take a bow, you can see they're all pretty much out of breath. So yeah you're right, they put a lot of effort in their performances. And yes it's true Marko left, he had some health issues to sort out. I think it was more mental than physical. But he got over it, is back to performing, but not with Nightwish anymore. His replacement is an excellent bass player, but not a singer. The band also announced there will be no tour after the next album. They're gonna take a break. Wouldn't surprise me if that break turns out to be permanent. After all they've been going for almost 30 years now, and they already survived more line up changes than Tuomas said they'd ever do... (After Floor joined, he said it would be the last change. They'd quit when someone else had to be replaced. But they still replaced the drummer Jukka and the bassist Marko.)

PLEASE watch Slaying the Dreamer and Devil and the deep dark ocean!

Marko only stopped playing for about 6 months he's been incredibly busy. Doing special appearances. With other bands. His own band is self named, also with his old band, Tarot.. also a reunion with taura Phantom of the opera a couple times. And Many others. A deep dive would be very insightful

a seafaring song. one of my favorites.

You three need to check out Nightwish's first Singer Tarja she us great also The Phantom of the Opera

🤩👍💥💯🎼 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

You should check out Gethsemane by Nightwish. 🤟💯

Juka is double bassing here.
