The whole army knows what awesome musicians each and every one of them is

[@scray00]

Truthfully you’d have to be an idiot to not see that this band is a puzzle, and every piece fits perfectly. It’s so awesome

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

You are so beginner here, but rest assured that Marko is very respected "father figure" in Finnish metal scene (and abroad). He has many excellent duets with Floor and some solo songs with Nightwish: "The Islander", "High hopes", "While your lipps are still red" and from the new Human.:II: nature album "Endlessness". He has solo career too. Album "Pyre of the Black Heart" is quite new. Greetings from Finland! ⛄

[@ThomFoolery1]

That's amazing and reassuring to know! Definitely keen to hear more from him. Thank you! 🙂

[@lea-anne9133]

@@ThomFoolery1 The Islander is a beautiful song with Marco on lead vocals. You'll enjoy that one👌🏻

[@SK-nw4ig]

@@PeaceweaponPT Indeed, Nightwish is his side project ;)

[@brandoncormier8195]

Don't worry Marco (the bass player) gets a lot of credit in the Metal community :).

[@ThomFoolery1]

As he should! I'm glad to hear that. 😁

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

But not credit enough for people to spell his name with a K :P It's Marko, he's from Finland not Italy :)

[@brandoncormier8195]

[@1helluvaguy738]

The only thing better than having a great singer in your band is having two great singers in your band.

[@AntoniahCH]

There are tree good singers in this Band

[@mystisith3984]

That move Marco does at the end like "Unleash the Kraken" always makes me smile. Song of pure energy.

[@helenahey]

That's Marco! I'd recommend "Romanticide" from this same show. He's singing more on that one and there's an epic guitar solo by Emppu. 😁 Thanks for this, and I have to say I love your pure enthusiasm for music 😊🤘🏻

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you so much Helena! That really means a lot! And thanks again for the suggestions. It looks like there's at least 2 or 3 more I should do from this Wacken show.

[@deeteenw]

"Caught me off guard" are words you will utter quite often on your Nightwish journey :-D. Tuomas (founder, keyboarder, composer) generally doesn't care much for traditional song structure, though he uses it when it's convenient. But they definitely keep things interesting with rhythm changes, key changes, breakdowns, quiet times, interludes etc.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Haha yes it's so great. Every song is like a new journey since the songs keep changing and going where you don't expect. 😁

[@richardgoddard37]

Procession from the new album is 11 verses with no chorus, and it's simply beautiful.

[@christophschmedes5975]

Toumas say he like to compose epic music listen to Humen Nature CD 2 and you Know what i mean

[@scray00]

And that’s what sucks you in. You feel every one of those key changes, lulls and heavy sections. It’s like your soul says “thank you “, and that hole in your soul you didn’t know you had is all of a sudden filled to the brim 😎

[@jabgibson]

Watching reactions to Nightwish is my 2nd favorite KZbin activity right now... the first is watching a reaction to "Ever Dream".

[@TTK2013]

There is old saying in the jungle that when Floor and Marko sings together, even tigers will lay down an purr! But now to the cold facts,proven by scientist: Yes, Floor is windmilling but opposite way than windmills do. Normal windmill needs wind to work but windmill of Floor is producing wind and with that floor-wind, the windmills will work around 12000-12500 RPM and that is more RPM's than at the engine of Ferrari. Also you may noticed that strong winds have come more regular on last years....Reason for that is not weather change, it is Nightwish on tour and Floor on stage.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh my goodness, that is brilliant 👏 😄 🤣 thank you for sharing this scientific knowledge with us! That makes total sense to me!

[@MaggieByName]

LOL, I saw in 2000 in the Belgian F1 GP (I was there) Mika Häkkinen winning in a McLaren from Michael Schumacher Ferrari. And nowadays it's not a big promotion to sit in a Ferrari. 🤣 But still a great explanation.

[@ThomFoolery1]

@@MaggieByName Maybe Ferrari should employ Floor to help them with their RPM and they might do better haha

[@MaggieByName]

@@ThomFoolery1 Indeed, she is a perfectionist. 😊

[@robertsheeler321]

looks like you have fell down the Nightwish rabbit hole try Romanticide from same show , or the show opener Dark Chest of Wonders

[@ThomFoolery1]

Haha very much so! I'm trying hard to resist binge-watching the other videos so I can film reactions haha

[@Zozo-K-]

Marco, the bass player, gets plenty of respect and praise for his vocals from fans...he sings quite a bit in Nightwish, also fronts his own band Tarot and has a solo album out. So, now you’ve done two radio-friendly Nightwish songs...time to get to the real stuff. From this same Wacken 2013 show: Song of Myself, Romanticide, I Want My Tears Back, She Is My Sin.

[@ThomFoolery1]

That's great to hear! He definitely deserves it. Keen to hear more from him. Will definitely be doing more reactions from this show. Thanks for the tips. :D

[@jonno55]

I think Want my tears back from the Buenos Aires concert (2018) is more fun to watch!

[@Zozo-K-]

John Keren Maybe so, but I think Wacken is musically better.

[@bocatampere]

Great reaction 🙏🏻 and don’t worry, Marco is living Legend all over the world in Metal scene. Greets from Finland 🇫🇮🤘

[@ThomFoolery1]

Hei Markus! Thank you very much. I'm glad to hear how much he is respected! 😁🤘

[@dianakerssemeeckers9324]

Loved your reaction! Marko is amazing, such a great voice he has ❤️ If you want to hear more of him check out “The Islander” live at Tampere 2015 and “While your lips are still red” 💋 live at Wembley 2015. Great harmonies with Floor in songs too. And I love how much fun they have with each other on stage ❤️

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks so much Diana! Glad you liked it and thanks for the suggestion! I've heard the original years ago so I'd love to hear the live version! :D

[@thomaslilly9558]

Well done Thom...."Romanticide" and " Ghost River" are goose bumps from start to finish. Wacken is a can't miss venue, so are Wembley, Buenos Aires and Tampere concerts. It's not a rabbit hole you are in, it's the Grand Canyon.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you Thomas! Yes, these two songs are definitely on my to-do list. It is certainly feels like a magical grand canyon! I'm overwhelmed by the amount of suggestions. I want to keep things varied but I'm enjoying these Nightwish videos too much. haha

[@ronjoanne5980]

Ron here and new subscriber. I discovered NW about three years ago and have been deeply in their rabbit hole ever since. I've really enjoyed your reactions to Storytime and Ever Dream from Wacken. Your unabashed and obvious pleasure with each song has been infectious. Welcome to the Nightwish community and I plan to join you on your journey. By the way, Tuomas, keyboard artist, is the founder of the band and their heart & soul. He composes most or their songs along with lyrics, arrangements and takes a lead hand in the live stage productions. Each song in the Wacken concert was written for the previous two singers, Tarja and Anette, and Floor made them her own. She had been with the band for about ten months when they performed in this concert. The chemistry between the band members is magic and they really enjoy what they do on stage. Pick any song from their 120+ songs and I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised and enjoy the experience. Enjoy your ride.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Hi Ron! Thank you so much for the kind words. That makes my day to hear that the reaction is enjoyable for others. Thank you for sharing this information about the band, that's great to know! They absolutely have an incredible chemistry and a 'je ne sais quoi' that makes them so addictive to watch. Thanks again and thanks for watching! :)

[@nimwey7701]

Great reaction, please also check out Song of Myself same concert, you fell really deep and hard into the rabbit hole didn't ya :)

[@ThomFoolery1]

Haha well spotted! 😄

One of my top 5 Nightwish songs!!

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

Enjoyed your reaction very much. The bass player's name is, Marko. He's been getting plenty of high praise, for his vocals and instrumentation, for a couple of decades now. From several different shows. Not just Wacken.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you very much Miguel! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Marko is so impressive - I'm looking forward to hearing more. Cheers! :D

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. :D

[@majbrat]

So Gooooood! Song if myself, Romanticide, Dark chest of wonders or any of this show is awesome. Wembley Seven days to the wolves or Buenos Aires I want my tears back or Tampere My Walden are a few others :) and there is Moooore!!!

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you! Yes, there is so much yet to experience. Looking forward to checking these out. :)

[@tommyjohnson9175]

Every song at this show is amazing for sure.. and Marco he has and excellent voice... If the song needs a little more rasp or power.. or if they just want a clean harmony, he gives it to them.. You'll see, he does it all..

[@eva1842]

Yes,a breathtaking concert....as always:)

[@thatoneguyagain2252]

"Ever Dream" is my personal favorite from the Wacken concert; it has everything that makes Nightwish great in one song. Allow me to recommend "Dark Chest Of Wonders", the Wacken show-opener. You'd expect, given the circumstances (major festival, relatively new singer, insane crowd, film crew recording for the DVD, etc.) that they'd start off strong, right out of the gate. Well, it's like we say: have expectations, no matter how high, and Nightwish will meet and exceed them.

[@ThomFoolery1]

I know what you mean, it is so quintessential of Nightwish. Thank you very much for the recommendation. I'm hearing this one come up a lot so I'll try and get to it ASAP. Like you say, I'm sure it will not disappoint.

[@Thorgrim247]

The bassist is Marco and he is quite a good vocalist as well. That last chorus buildup is unreal. It goes full double bass and they move the key up 3 half steps from G to ♭. Loved your reaction video my friend. Go for "Dark Chest of Wonders" next. Same show. Watch out for some videos out there that are a little slowed down. They take away the energy from the performance. Just subbed. Your a natural. See you for the next one. Peace.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Hey there! Thanks so much for subscribing and the lovely comment, that means a lot! Yeah, that whole section was just beautiful. Thank you also for the suggestion. I've seen a few requests for that so I'll definitely check it out. All the best. :)

Well young lad I quite enjoyed your reaction, pauses were short and to the point , great sound so you got my sub . They’ll show you how to open a huge concert with their song Dark Chest of Wonders to get you pumped .... and yes every song in this show is great so don’t you dare go looking ahead without us lol 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼

Marko + Floor are awesome and kill it in Ghost River from this same epic concert Wacken 2013. Another epic song🤟🤟✌️✌️🇨🇦

[@darthmagnus8855]

Marko is absolutely a phenomenal and consummate musician and vocalist. You need to check out a lot of his other performances. I mean, I'm sure you will, but I am very partial to The Islander (do both the live and music video versions if you can) and While Your Lips Are Still Red. Those really showcase his talent.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks a lot! Will for sure check these out! 😁

[@MycontentisgoldJerryGold]

Everdream, from the End of an Era concert, is an excellent introduction to the talents of Nightwish's original singer, Tarja. She sings the same parts as Floor, in a slightly deeper range, with a more operatic vibrato.

[@joeyc785]

Hey, you should definitely check out Marco’s band he has on the side called Tarot, not sure when he started, but still pretty awesome 😎

[@johnmc128]

There is only one Floor.

[@pickboaa]

However many times i hear this one i allways got chills when Jukka goes ham on the double drums in the last part.

[@cz-27love44]

Yes please the entire concert.

[@lizziev4510]

Ever Dream is the first Floor Song I ever heard. She’s just phenomenal in this performance. I was fully on board with Nightwish again after hearing they had parted ways with Anette (which now after hearing her live, I’m not surprised with) Quick side note, I was devastated initially, Imaginaerum is still one of the best albums I’ve ever heard, from start to finish that album is a masterpiece. There isn’t a flaw in it, it tells a story that you can’t help but get involved with. But when you watch her live, she couldn’t cut it. Not well at least. Floor is in a category of her own. She’s confident, her talent is clearly seen, her control in her voice is flawless. Everything you’d see with Tarja. The difference for me? She sings both Tarja’s music and Anette’s beautifully which makes her a natural choice to go with. She’s got a range that makes me happy in every song. And you’re right. Marko steals my heart every time lol. Love this band, love your reaction 💞

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks for sharing Lizzie! Well said. I know what you mean, Floor is ridiculously versatile and seems to be able to capture every different shade of Nightwish.

[@lujalainen1]

even little bit softer song,this song goes like a moose in a traffic lights wiuuuuuuf. great reaction thanx. facts how nightwish new album born. 1. tuomas make every song and he finish when he feeling him jacket is empty,cannot give anything more to the songs. 2. he ask marko,kai,emppu to same place and show them new album first time (material go to the troy and floor where they live). now boys improve whole album songs together to the best form they can. 3. floor and troy come then and whole band is together somewhere,they start improve song again together and when they all satisfied someday,they go to studio and but it on record. so even tuomas is the all father to do all the songs,everybody but they effort and improvements nightwish songs. tuomas say that he can hear whole song always in head in every part how it´s suggest to going to be in perfect way. tuomas also are the morning person when he can working only.

Marko and Floor 💯

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

You want to hear a secret - Nightwish have 3 awesome singers!!! Floor - nr 1 in the Galaxy Marco and Troy split nr 1 on Earth - because of their different styles. So - you are into the musical journey of your life - believe me! And another secret - they are that good because they are equal in the band - all six makes each other perform better - no one wants to steal the lights - on the contrary, they engage each other. That's Nightwish. And the last little secret - sorry to inform you - but will be addicted for lifetime 😅🤘🤘🤘

I'm sure Nightwish and Floor will rise to the challenge, but this song won't sound the same without Marko, imo. Such a powerful voice. Mind you, when Tarja left, and then Jukka (from playing), Tuomas picked worthy replacements, so he knows what he's doing.
