PINK FLOYD GETS A NIGHTWISH! - NIGHTWISH - HIGH HOPES - REACTION

[@jonno55]

As a life long Pink Floyd fan and have seen them several times (68 y old Dutch bloke), and a Nightwish fan since some 4 years, after hearing/seeing Floor perform in one of her first solo shows I can say: this is the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to an exceptional band.

[@bytemeleew]

As an intense Pink Floyd fan, I came into this with a little skepticism. By the second listen, I fell in love with it.....great reaction!

[@JWS-66]

yes Emppu is one of the most tastefull guitar players I know, I love his sound❤

[@rickphil9999]

Hello again, you two. As a member of the Nightwish Army and a HUGE Pink Floyd fan, I agree with you. This was not a cover, but a tribute from Nightwish to this legendary band. Thank you both so much for continuing to react to our beloved Nightwish live performances.

[@Kelsea-2002]

I love your reactions and how much you can enjoy the music of Nightwish. My 3 absolute favorite bands are Queen, Pink Floyd, and of course Nightwish (especially with Tarja and Floor). These bands stand for true art!

[@Aenea-de9vy]

Marko really conveys the message and feeling of this song with his voice, gives me goosebumps every time I hear this! 🤘🔥

[@Bonovin]

Even Gilmore dig this tribute, he said. Greetings from Sweden

[@grahambatchelor3576]

More a tribute than a cover. I'm sure other commentors will fill you in with the details. Good reaction too.

[@riittasihvonen2011]

Master's Tribute to Masters.

[@barrycounts490]

I'm a big Pink Floyd fan ! My one regret is i never had a chance to see them live ! So i made it a point to see Nightwish twice and Band-Maid four times =)

[@guidoheuts]

Great reaction guys. To me, as a Queen, Pinkfloyd and Nightwish fan, this is not a cover but an epical tribute version of this track.

[@frankmerris8821]

Not sure if you mentioned Marko but his vocal performance and the emotion in his singing stole the show

[@morbiouslenoir]

And David Gilmore smiled.

[@NaturfotographieStingl]

Bavarian Nightwish army here! I love just EVERY Nightwish-song - and to cover a song from one of my favorite bands is definitely a challenge! But they did it soooo good - respect for Marcos vocals and Emppus guitarwork in this one. I´d recommend "The greatest show on earth" (Tampere or Wembley (with Richard Dawkins at the end)) as a next reaction-video. There you can hear a duet of Floor and Marco and in the song the history of the universe, earth and us is told. But beware: This song is more than 20mins long.......but truly a masterpiece.

[@mvellis3863]

Love Emppu, such a great guitarist - and Jukka's drumming was impeccable

[@anterohoo7554]

Thank you and I agree, Emppu-guitarist got something similar going on with the David Gilmore with his guitar playing. Good point! I also think that there is something about the tone, mood and the warmness of the Emppu´s playing that are quite gilmoresque also in original NW-songs.

[@sateentuoksu]

Eric Clark also calls him the David Gilmour of metal. ❤

[@mattihopiavuori353]

Huge Pink Floyd fan! This was not a cover, rather an awesome tribute, respect, from a great band to another legend. Nightwish never disappoints anyone who appreciates real masters!

[@lillianekockritz2796]

A wonderful tribute to a great band from another great band! Have you seen the lights above the band? Also a tribute to PF. And in this song you can hear what a great singer Marko is - and what a great guitar player Emppu.

[@terokoskinen3036]

Haven't seen anyone mention that before. For me that always reminds of Pink Floyd, and I'm sure it is not just coincidence. :)

[@jimnikas7]

For me is the best cover ever

[@markusjackel2132]

Pink Floyd Fan for Life....but this one is just........better. Haunting Keyboard....GREAT Vocals......brillant Guitar Solo...driving drums on point.....this is one of the rare Occasions where I like the Cover better then the already good original. Just my opinion.

[@SuperIrene74]

I concur 😊

[@scottfield5849]

Definitely one of my favorite Tributes. Up there with Heart doing "Stairway" for Led Zeppelin. Rock on! 🤘😎👍

[@TJandTheGringa]

🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@randymarple9830]

Gilmour's favorite rendition. Enough said.

[@randymarple9830]

@zozomedia001 I haven't seen it but was told it is in an interview in The Rolling Stone.

[@MelvinDickover]

There is one other awesome cover in the "End of an Era" concert, The Phantom of the Opera. Exhilarating, do not miss it

[@art3mis290]

Whoop your back! Awesome thank you once again for my daily Nightwish feed! Marko can sing and he does on other songs I hope to see you react to! I am so happy you found this fabulous group and continue your journey down this rabbit hole you in; I am with you all the way, much love

[@danielisrael1788]

Armée NIGHTWISH de France au rapport, excellent, excellent et bien sur comme à chaque fois quand j'entends Marko et cette chanson, même après des centaines d'écoutes je suis en apnée, la gorge nouée et les larmes aux bords des yeux, couvert de frissons. Merci pour cette écoute et à bientôt. Paix sur vous mes amis......

[@Qirronis]

“Kiitos”… which Marko says at the end, means “Thank You” in Finnish. Obvious from the context probably, but fun to point out. You hear it from them on a bunch of their live videos when they play for a Finnish audience. Floor even says it in front of Finnish crowds, even though she’s Dutch. 😁

[@MrDijaru]

great reaction Only not a Cover ,A tribute :) 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@larryd4352]

My younger sibling is a HUGE Pink Floyd fan...and he loved the Tribute to Pink Floyd by Nightwish. What else is there to say. Next song....try a very happy, fun song by Nightwish! Try "Alpenglow! Floor says in the intro...."....this song with make you utterly happy!!". One of my favorite songs of Nightwish...and you get to see Floor dancing to the song!!!

[@CosMosArtistry2016]

Thanks for your reaction, Nightwish did a great tribute to Pink Floyd. Another 'cover' that is worthwhile is The Warning's Enter Sandman (Metallica) at Teatro Metropolitan. They made it their own and a wonderful tribute to Metallica.

[@ianthompson5746]

So So Respectful..!!!

[@Thorgrim247]

Tribute to the Legends. Also an opportunity for Marko to shine and Tarja to change outfits.

[@danrue3263]

Awesome 😎

[@jerrygarza4014]

EVER DREAM... the best is yet to come.

[@ЛюбомирРодзінський]

Great reaction 🤘🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️. Pink Floyd 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ronjoanne5980]

There is one point about this performance that is frequently overlooked. Jukka, on drums, was dealing with a migraine headache throughout the whole concert. He is truly a musical warrior. Wonderful performance. Thanks, again.

[@folkme3042]

Poor guy! I never realised that. What a trooper!

[@dmj4966]

Explaining legato using Floor's long notes in the beginning of GLS can help as a literal example ...also glissando which can then be applied to guitar work

[@007chinochef]

Hey guys!! This is not just a cover, this is an amazing tributo!! Good reaction!! Thanks. Greettings from Argentina

[@TimoArula]

What a tribute from Nightwish to this legendary song 🤩. Marko is a living legend !!!!! And there are more covers/tributes done by Nightwish (Sadly not so many on YT): Over the Hills and Far Away (Gary Moore cover) Walking in the Air (Howard Blake cover) The Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber cover) Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth cover) Elvenjig ([traditional] cover) Finlandia (Jean Sibelius cover) High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover/tribute) Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne cover) The Mug of Brown Ale ([traditional] cover) We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister cover) Wild Child (W.A.S.P. cover) Stone People (John Two‐Hawks cover) Alone (i‐Ten cover) Ace of Spades (Motörhead cover) Don't Talk to Strangers (Dio cover) Locomotive Breath (Jethro Tull cover) Money (Pink Floyd cover) Rock Around the Clock (Sonny Dae and His Knights cover) Show Me How to Die (Battle Beast cover) Wonderful Life (Black cover) NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘.

[@randalladams7692]

New fan you're with the nightwish army every song is good love this version keep rocking

[@Mr.Greeeeeen]

This tribute is amasing. 🙏 Plz do some Tarja stuff also from her great solocareer and also her work with Within Temptation.👌 Love U guys! ❤️

[@garysalazar2694]

If you want another hard one try " Yours is an empty hope " from Wembly Arena.

[@brewswillis9783]

As an old school PF fan, I was dismissive of HH (and the album in general) but this tribute is impossible to dismiss IMO! NW "Disturbed" the hell out of it!

[@Pterodactylus548]

Pink Floyd song on steroids...

[@paisa20]

Thanks ❤

[@steventownsend1344]

Hi again hope u2 ok it steve 53 uk again huge nightwish and p floyd fan .ive left comments for you to react to 2 new bands though i know you will get to them lol .great reactions love your videos .tho 2 videos you must watch are 1 revamp disdain live grasspop.revamp is floors previous group ul be shocked but in a good way. 2 nightwish yours is an empty hope live wembley 2015 .you two will love that as it probably there heaviest song . Hope you 2 ok keep up great reactions

[@helli0n824]

wow, i loved to see the disbelief in Jimmi´s Face when Marco hold the tone and Empuu started the first Solo :) 3:12 ......this moment goes until you pause, right ? =) 4:02 looks like "damn this was good"

[@TJandTheGringa]

Yess! That was so Awesome 😎

[@YNGWIE998]

Imagine pouring Pink Floyd essence and then Nightwish essence into a large pot, giving it a good stir, and then warming it up, then pouring the result onto a plate...this is my metaphor for this superb tribute.

[@jussihamalainen7692]

I highly recommend 'Phantom of the Opera' from this same concert. It features the first singer Tarja with her more operatic style of singing. (Just to be clear, I love both Floor and Tarja. One is more rock and the other, more classical.)

[@GeertDeLange-k5x]

The drummer drives the song, the backbone in this version

[@Rix.67]

Still a masterpiece🇸🇪🇫🇮

[@Edogg-c7t]

I don't like covers but this is a good one, and your reaction is always good😘

[@TJandTheGringa]

TYsm for Watching! 🍻❤️

[@Duskwind_]

Between the key change, Marko's vocals, and the acoustic guitar parts being swapped out for Emppu's amazing solo, Nightwish really made this version their own. Great reaction, as usual, my friends 🤗

[@richardmead5969]

Cool that a finnish band can do a tribute to a brit band and almost be as good. both are top 5 rock bands all time. do more NW and will watch again. from Colorado

[@ullis5125]

NeXT rabbithole to dive into should be Sabaton…. Love both bands from north ❤ Finland and Sweden

[@busher69]

The risk vs reward of covering a Pink Floyd song is usually a fools errand for a band, then there's Nightwish. The first time I saw this I couldn't believe what I was hearing and seeing. The only other cover I've heard that comes close to this is Disturbed version of Sound of Silence from the Conan show. Both are just stunning. BTW, this same concert has Tarja singing Nemo. As much as I like Floor and her Wachen version of Nemo I'm always drawn back the Tarja's version in End of an Era concert.

[@MegaDog555]

aaaahhh said it again Epic = Epica there's years of songs to choose

[@johannessilver8653]

Tuomas wanted to tribute PF with this heavier style NW version of it and the outcome is perfect.

[@robertsheeler321]

This was from 2005 . May I suggest there song "Bless The Child" live from the Wacken 2013 show .

[@MaggieByName]

Just passion!!!

[@Debbie338]

I’m a little shocked you didn’t say much about Marko’s vocals. Tuomas arranged this to show off how astoundingly well Marko can sing. Yes, the whole band is amazing, but Marko is very possibly the best male voice of his generation.

[@ChristianSander1969]

Fun fact - Emppu plays an ESP EV-1 with Seymour Duncan pickups (TB-5 in the bridge, SHR-1n in the middle and a SH-2n in the neck) 1 in purple and 1 in white. ( Note, the EV stands for Emppu Vuorinen. 😎) If you are up for some oldschool rock / metal, you should take a look at the amazing sibling band, Liliac.. They have some insane covers / tributes to bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabath, DIO and Metallica.. They have some very impressive originals aswell.. Lead singer, Melody (Melodio) Cristea, is a big Ronnie fan, and his wife requested them to play a song at the RJD cancer fundraiser, Last In Line, in a special unreleased extended version.. Floor Jansen is the queen of metal no doubt about it, and Melody is with out doubt the princess.. Suggestions for covers : Last in Line Holy Diver Crazy Train The Trooper Piece of My Heart (live in Cumming GA 2019) 7 Nation Army Originals : Mars (live in Cumming GA 2019) Nothing Sail Away We Are The Children Not Afraid

[@glenngunnis6642]

Two awesome guitar solos from the guitar master, Emppu!🤘🎸Another cover that is great is Enter Sandman by The Warning featuring Alessia Cara!🤘🎸

[@MegaDog555]

🐕we love marko and 2 yummy solos

[@zoolooz2327]

It's not a cover, it's a tribute !

[@Klaueee]

Hey there. :) I love your reactions and I have some Reaction suggestions for you. My favourite Nightwish song: "the poet and the pendulum" the wembley 2016 is great. (Even tho it makes my cry everytime, because of the Story behind that song) And also I would suggest Electric Callboy either "We got the moves" or "hypa hypa". Also their new collab with Babymetal RATATA is amazing as well. Greetings from Germany and I will be looking forward to any new Nightwish reaction or some other Bands I really enjoy :)

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job guys, It's better than the original Jimmy isn't it ???

[@vesaroivainen]

I would love to see a person over a middle age saying grass wasn't greener back in the day 😂🤣

[@majbrat]

This became my #1 tribute/cover when I first heard it. The next two covers you need to check out are: Disturbed doing "The Sound of Silence" Bad Wolves doing "Zombie" Would be cool to hear original or a clip of original before hearing the cover too if you need to refresh what original sounds like. 😊 These are both exceptional covers as well. Also Floor Jansen did a bunch of great covers during lockdown to keep her voice in shape. Check out her KZbin channel too. So good.

[@runkkariruune]

Kiitos!

[@rnowak85]

Enjoyed your reaction. As you mentioned this is from their 2005 concert in Finland, the End of an Era DVD. Nightwish's lead singer st this time, Tarja Turunen, would often change outfits during the show and when she did the boys would play a cover song. Some other covers they played during shows include Twisted Sister's We're Not Going to Take It, Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train, and Megadeath's Symphony of Destruction. Of note, this was the last concert with Tarja. She was fired right after the concert via an open letter. A huge drama storm erupted and many of the fans turned on the band and especially Tuomas. He sank into a deep depression as a result resulting IMHO their greatest masterpiece, The Poet and the Pendulum. I actually like this version better then the original. For me it is that emotion and grit that Marko brings to the lyrics that elevates the performance and Emppu's guitar playing is fantastic. Again a lot of emotion in his playing.

[@markclements-bs3mb]

Hello again, greetings from UK How about "Yours Is An Empty Hope" from their Wembley concert? That also has an iconic guitar riff (the music featured in an episode of The Simpsons)

[@damonbryan7232]

If you notice. Even the lighting crew paying tribute.

[@OhyesIdid1]

I stumbled on your channel because of....of course....Nightwish, but I have enjoyed your reactions. I always like watching people react to Nightwish. It was the band that took my hand and brought me over to Europe and said: "Look what we have!" and I have never looked back! Keep exploring. What you will find it that European bands do a lot of collaborations and it's a good way to discover new bands. Now, an aside. Not to sound weird, but I kept staring at you Mr. Jimmy because you reminded me of someone. It finally came to me. Have you ever heard of the German band, Lord of the Lost? You look a lot like the lead singer, Chris Harms. I will add a clip of them at Wacken Open Air, 2023. It's not the best for close ups, but he isn't wearing a lot of makeup like he sometimes does. Blood and Glitter--Lord of the Lost kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4Lce5xretune5Y

[@TJandTheGringa]

Thanks so much for watching. Had never heard of this band but now that I look like the vocalist I think we are forced to check them out lol. Appreciate you!

[@paisa20]

Thanks

[@jaanaliden9837]

This was a tribute. ❤❤❤

[@clivematthews5296]

Well said. You called it a tribute at the end. Only song I can listen to at this concert as find the first singer (Tarja Turunen) too operatic in style. She was sacked after this concert as her husband encouraged her to behave like the star and demand preferential treatment.

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

Same here.

[@qpruleok5798]

It's not a cover it is way better than that EXACTLY, it is a tribute to Pink Floyd

[@martinfranzen9151]

If it's not already been said, React to "Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean" by Nightwish 🙏💯🤘 My favourite song of theirs 👏

[@helli0n824]

next always should be "THIS live performance you didn´t react to" please jump up and down that list (Gabriel) it is meant as a library, not a "to-do like every reaction channel did" you know ? surprise US with the next video, that somehow fetched your eye more than 3 years of Gabriels list from 1 to xx is ..., can´t thank him enough for his work can´t anyone build a little program that randomly picks the next reaction ?

[@sjc9121]

This is their tribute to Pink Floyd's music

[@jasonmarshall7572]

I then we see the differance between a cover when you try to sound just like the original and a Tribute when you sound similar but with your own flair. As a heads up and wink to the orininal artist whom Nightwish love very much.

[@davidhill7055]

This is NOT a cover… this is a tribute

[@kennethosiecki9258]

Amazing tribute by Nightwish! What's next? Follow Gabriel's list for now but it's not mandatory. Not sure is this information was listed but here goes. Floor is 6'1" barefoot and then she has her heels on. Emppu plays an ESP guitar. He has an EV-1 and EV-2 models. (EV is for Emppu Vuorinen). Marko plays a Warwick base. He was trained in classical guitar then change to bass. He plays the bass with a pick a lot of times, I'm not sure if this is done by a lot of base players. I am not a musician. He also plays the "beast" a bass and six string combo. Jukka is crazy on the drums. Wait until the double time on the double basses. They did an 80 minute movie called "Imaginaerum". This band is in their own genre. All for now from Indianapolis.

[@MetroMabe]

Next: Song of myself or Storytime

[@TJandTheGringa]

We did stor time but we'll definitely check out song of myself 😊

[@MetroMabe]

@@TJandTheGringa yeah true. My bad.

[@marialourdesbecchero1744]

Please react to any song of end of an era or from wishes to eternity!

[@madmotorcyclist]

You should give Dimash a review. His vocal range is untouched (from a B2 to D8) and sings all genres of music in a dozen languages. He probably is the best singer in all of the world.

[@dolfvink7416]

Great reaction again. Yes this is a tribute to this Pink Floyd song. May I suggest a cover from a cover? Gary Moore (ex Thin Lizzy) found an old song in the depth of the Irish folkmusic and made it a hit in the 1980's. Over the Hills and far away. Nightwish covered this song too and it is fabulous. From the same End of an Era concert, but now with Tarja on vocals. (It was her last concert with Nightwish and she didn't know) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGPMd4t5iqt-nMksi=GGwVbCdz6rZWhHX8
