I think my favorite part of this performance is just the sheer joy on their faces. They're having so much fun together, and they're so happy for each other. That kind of harmony in a band is just not always seen, but it sure is appreciated.
”One might someday be cool enough to have a long, braided viking beard. And one might someday be cool enough to have that beard AND be bassist for the greatest metal band in the world. But you’ll never be cool enough to have that beard, be that bassist, AND have Floor Jansen as your BACKUP singer!”
Look at Marco's face when Troy starts to play along - that smile is ... it says everything that needs to be said about the relationships within this band.
Nightwish have no egoes look at how happy the rest of the band are for Marko as he comes back Floor clapping him acknowledging his talent as an equal .She was the final puzzle piece .A singer that can do it all humberly and have the experience of her other bands to fall back on .World domination in music awates .Covid permitting !!
Rock.....Nice reaction, thank you. Want to have your head explode ? If yes, look at the band covering Pink Floyd's " High Hopes " with Marco on vocals .
No audience appreciates Nightwish in quite the same way that the South American Fans do!! I love seeing ALL of the videos from S.A.....especially the fans in Buenos Aries! They make me happy just watching them....🤗💖🤘
And THAT'S how you totally ENTHRALL 20 000 people! He just OWNS the place. Total , iron self confidence, genuine talent and skill. He gives us a beautiful , old fashioned waltz to set our imaginations dancing. Marko's voice is coooooooool soft silk, home made butterscotch and just a dash of aquavit, all mushed into my ears. I'm not complaining. Your 5 yr old daughter has excellent taste.
Those 2 giants does another of one of Marco's songs Kiss while your lips are still red, Wembley 2015 - Marco lead and Floor backing - it absolutely stunning also. Great reaction from you again 👍 🤘 🤘 Or you may try "The Carpenter" from Buenos Aires 2018 - Troy lead!! Floor backing - that awesome too!!
Great reaction and words of understanding. I really like the pride you see in Floors face as he returns to the band, she is like a proud Momma. To see more of Marco's talent please react to their cover of Pink Floyds 'High Hopes' from End of an era.
Marco wrote this song musically and Tuomas added the lyrics. Marco is an amazing acoustic guitarist. He has had classical guitar training. Marco is actually one of the godfathers of Finnish metal. His band "Tarot" was one of the first Finnish bands to make a mark on the rock scene back in 1986. Loved your reaction to this beautiful and haunting song about a lonely lighthouse keeper. An old man by a seashore at the end of day Gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago The albatross is flying, making him daydream The time before he became - one of the world's unseen Princess in the tower, children in the fields Life gave him it all: an island of the universe Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world Anchor to the water, seabed far below Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
Excellent what you just felt and thanks for sharing it! I loved what you told about your daughter, I remember when my daughter was younger, and I made her listen to some songs, that expression on her little face is engraved in my soul, that is priceless. Greetings from Argentina, take care family
Someone translated the Finnish part on somebody else's reaction and it goes like this - Marko: "So if I play the chorus, you'll sing along, right?" Audience: "Yyeeeaah!" Marko: "You will?" Audience: "YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAH!" Marko: "Okay, so we're gonna do it" Credit to Wulfshade for the translation! Nice reaction m8, as per usual. 😊
Magical performance indeed. If you want another good one from Marko, Pink Floyd's cover High Hopes is amazing. Or if you want another heavy song with Floor, Yours is an Empty Hope from Wembley. Also congrats for your daughter, she has a great taste in music!
The finnish part lacking subtitles goes like: Marko: "So if I play the chorus, you'll sing along, right?" Audience: "Yyeeeaah!" Marko: "You will?" Audience: "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAH!" Marko: "Okay, so we're gonna do it"
While the lips are still red. That is one hack off a song, also! Especcially the Wembley version. You will love it. The lead vocals are from Marco, back up is Floor. Ebow/ guitar with Troy is magical!
@@Vaamp92 I borrowed this from another commenter who translated it from Finnish: Tuomas Holopainen: " I would have been willing to pick this up from the Dark Passion Play album as a single, if the singer hadn’t just changed( Tarja ----> Anette 2006). A Celtic song that Marko played a couple of years before, in the back room. Saying it would properly not sit for his band, Tarot. It flashed through my mind, this song is about a lighthouse keeper by the way. So Marko finished the song, and I did the words. Little Elegia, a poetic song, about a lone lighthouse keeper. And no symbolism, for once, direct storytelling. This song is what we can play in gigs acoustically ”.
Ocean is a very, very appropriate metaphor when it comes to Nightwish. Tuomas, as you might know, intended to become a marine biologist and ocean is one big love in his life. Ocean appears literally, thematically and metaphorically in tons of Nightwish songs. He (and many fans) has even called himself an 'ocean soul'.
that was a nice reaction, thx. But its time for some angry Marko, this song is never played live but its such a banger, Master Passion Greed. Would love to see your reaction on this one.
Amazing and.powerfull.voice of Marco beautifull.man, this song is a composition by Marco, he has more.songs very beautifull. Marco he has a band it is personal.project. NIGHTWISH ARMY 🤘
Hey, if you like Marco you should definitely check him and Floor Jansen out in some Ayreon music, the age of shadows live show and the eye of rah live show, they are both in these shows and other Ayreon songs as well, awesome thanks 😊
Marco formed his old band Tarot in the early 80s when Floor wasnt even born yet and Tuomas was maybe 4 years old 😁Marco is old cat and i remember listening Tarot around -85 here in Finland.
Hm, have to correct you slightly - Purgatory, the prototype of Tarot, was formed by the Hietala brothers in 1982, when Floor was one year old and Tuomas five.
Rocky, you'll see Marko use this double neck in various places, I'll not spoil it by saying where; however, it is a Warwick/Framus Infinity/Panthera, seriously heavy and as a custom shop build to order, seriously expensive too. If you look I think you can see the Warwick "W" logo on the bass headstock and Framus on the 6 string. Wasn't what you expected Rocky, but what a surprising gem. Yeh, when you can claim to have Floor as your backing singer you have truly arrived. Good stuff chap, thank you for a great reaction.
Marco released his own album at the start of the year. The album is called Pyre of the Black Heart and there is a video off of the album called Voice of my Father. Excellent song I recommend it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dwvqpRRCDdE.html
I love crazy powerful symphonic Nightwish, but I'd love to hear an acoustic concert from them... Unplugged versions of their songs. They are so talented I know for sure it would be amazing. The "How's the heart" acoustic version on Planet Rock is even better than the album version (imho) and "Nemo" sound also great on acoustic. And they have alredy made some acoustic versions on the Baltic Cruise ("Edema Ruh", "Alone" from Heart)... Just Tuomas on the piano, Marco and Emppu on acoustic guitars, Troy on pipes/flutes/bouzouki etc., Kai on percussion and Floor/Marco/Troy on vocals...
