ROADIE REACTIONS LIVE! | "Nightwish - Master Passion Greed"

[@moni130508]

My favourite line "Hello, how are you?"

[@chryse]

It's probably more than anger in that song. It feels almost like fury.

[@soon_to_emerge]

If Poet and the Pendulum was musical suicide, this song is a musical murder. Or at least punching certain someone in the face. Twice.

[@Kekoapono]

Truly. Marko’s scream near the end wasn’t the typical “metal scream,” it was a scream of fury at someone.

[@Wotsefaqq]

Well, he wasn't just her husband. He literally became her manager, and he was just hell to work with, and his influence on Tarja wasn't helping things either.

[@gabriellunardi5815]

The orchestra in this album is absolutely another level

[@andrewichigo]

About the Marko replacement thing: let's not forget Marko was the second bassist they had and technically the 3rd backup singer, since Tuomas used to sing. Thank god he stopped and stuck to keyboard hahahaha

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

Yeah his vocals was terrible 😂

[@CemKalyoncu]

Come on he was not terrible. Not comparable to other folk, but still not too bad.

[@richardgoddard37]

Tuomas sings backing on the AURI album. He has a perfectly pleasant singing voice, but he's no lead singer, as he'd be the first to admit.

[@janihaavisto79]

That they were, Terrible. But how much fun was it to see those early day video's where even that Fat boy sang with Tarja. It was tgat Pharaoh's song back when time was invented. If memory serves correctly.

[@franshinlopen2166]

I do not think of Marko as the third backup singer. As I vaguely remember their first album Angels Fall First, Tuomas did some backing vocals that sounded flat to me, and he never did them again. Remember, they were a young band with no money. Tapio was never a backup singer. He was a primary vocalist on "The Devil ...." and "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion". Hiring Marko was one of the best decisions the band ever made. Marko is a trained guitarist/singer who also played bass. Sometimes he did backing vocals, sometimes he was the primary vocalist, and sometimes he was the equal in a duet.

[@Rancid-Jane]

This song overworks my subwoofer. The nails are starting to wiggle out of the walls.

[@Lolliedieb]

You almost can see the different phases Tuomas went through writing Poet and the Pendulum, By by Beautiful and this one... what an album...

[@ScottLovenberg]

This album was a masterpiece. Definitely in my top ten albums of any genre. To be completely honest, I think I enjoy the instrumental version of the album (or however they released the edition with the entire album as a second set of tracks with the vocal layers removed, iTunes represents those tracks as a second volume) more than the standard version of the album. With the vocals removed I appreciate the writing even more because every track is so stunningly well written from the ground up and can stand on its own without the need to have lyrics to give meaning or beauty.

[@stpfs9281]

Now, THAT is a diss track! Glad you loved it. Marko has said he's feeling better, I hope he might do a few guest appearances, with Jukkis, "Double Bass"! Imagine those two duelling with bass AND voice! Ooooooh, come on Tuomas 🤩

[@andrewichigo]

I have always wondered about the fact he calls him Mammon in the song. One hand it's the name of a demon prince (or some high ranking one) On the other, it's close to the spanish word "mamón" which means something like: idiot. Seeing as Tarja's husband is Argentinian it could be a bit of a double jab

[@TankTheTech]

Good shout. I don't think you're far off with either of those assumptions.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

Mammon is also referring to money. You can't serve God and Mammon at the same time refers to monks and nuns giving their vows of poverty to not have earthly possessions distracting them from serving God. So I would assume this is what Toumas is referring to despite him not being religious. The guy (Tarja's husband) always trying to get more money from the pie instead of serving the art is serving money before art (Mammon over God)

[@chilai]

Argentinean here. We don´t use the word mamón, other spanish speakers use it. That being said, it wouldnt be too far fetched to think that Thuomas doesn´t know a lot about argentinean mannerisms and specific slang and just thought that it makes sense for us.

[@olgahein4384]

'Mammon' is actually wealth or richness, that was achieved by unrightful, illegal and/or immoral means and/or was used in the before mentioned manner. Thanks to the mentioning in the Bible ('You can't serve both masters, God and Mammon, at the same time) 'Mammon' became the demonized personification of unrightful wealth and immoral use of money. Nowadays, Mammon is just a negative synonym of money in general, but again in a negative way.

By the way there is one thing I wanted to drop for a while: Thank You! You thank us people for introducing you to new music, but we deeply need to thank you and Chase and all the others for sharing your thoughts about our favorite music and learn new aspects about it we did not knoe before or have not thought about it. Especially during this pandemic where many are in isolation this reactions got a place to connect people that never did and likely will never meet in person to enjoy music together. This for sure gave lot of people quite some good hours in this difficult situation where positive distractions got rare. Thank you!

[@JaneDoe-ge5di]

You will hear that Tank the "No Audio"Tech joke the rest of your life, Just like that silent Headbanging

[@jacquisampson-marat5277]

Did anyone actually read the post from Nightwish? They stated they were going to go with a session musician. That does not seem to me that they are replacing him, but instead are giving him the time he needs to heal. At least that was how I read it. 🤘🤘🤘

[@milton1448]

Fingers crossed!

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

I read it as not committing to a replacement already. Then again that was the same way they did with Floor, she wasn't named as a replacement until after like 10 months with the band. But yes lets hope!

[@franshinlopen2166]

Same here. His problems are apparently with the music industry, absolutely not with the band. Joining another band would only make this worse, unless that band is like Iron Maiden or similar. I totally agree with you that they are giving him time to heal.

[@justdave9610]

My biggest question is are they going to find a bassist who can also sing well, hire a secondary vocalist too, or put marco's vocal parts in the backing tracks?

[@matthewallin2201]

This song is just straight fury. I bet the boys felt much better afterwards. Especially Marko.

[@natalieshelton3726]

The other thing about Marcelo (and this song is so about him), was he was Tarja's manager at the time (pretty sure he still is). There's a scene in the End of an Era DVD that for me, shows the split between Tarja and the band. They are doing an interview or talking in the scene, you've got them sitting in a semi-circle. Tuomas, Marco, Emppu and Marco are sitting on one side of the semi-circle, then there's Marcelo and then Tarja. It felt like the band had to go through Marcelo to get to Tarja.

[@milton1448]

Nightwish's heaviest song. What i can;t get my head around is the same band, the same musicians that are capable of this are the same ones who write Sleeping Sun, Meadows of Heaven... there has never been a band that can do such a range of music so well. ever.

[@JairCrawford]

I love how freaking Eva is the next track after this on the album. The contrast is almost comical yet... profoundly peaceful and cathartic at the same time.

[@Lena-jo9ll]

Their range is incredible indeed, but they're definitely not the only ones. First band that comes to mind is Opeth, and they are the masters of it.

[@islgrl292]

Anger, is one one of our emotions, & these guys had more time with Tarja than him. I can understand why a fifth wheel could tear everything up, with his only concern is his inserts with her. Doesn’t nullify the other side, a spiritual group for sure.

[@mouhssineasmer3673]

All within me gone but "pain" and "hope". "Hoping" that the "pain" would fade away. Can we just stop and appreciate the poetry and the dark beauty of these verses. Thank you for this reaction man. Please do a Last of The Wilds Next. Please please. Please!!

[@alexziegler2125]

See Tank's headbanging is just what I needed toodaaaay!!! XD

[@Carlos-yr6de]

When marko and toumas are pissed u get close to death metal

[@lekalla]

I think this is closer to thrash than death metal. Symphonic Thrash Metal. That melodic middle part was very Bodom like though. Marko's agressive vocals are majestic. In short, very headbangable.

[@black4pienus]

Yep, the outro is amaze balls. That orchestra brings in so much power.

[@Velkairiwyth]

Yup. Marcogasms are a thing. And you get it double sided - bass and vocals :D - always loved this song, and reminds me so much of Tarot (check em if you ain't!!)

You have only really dipped your toe into the waters on your nightwish journey. You have a lot to discover and fall in love with 🤘🏻

[@MikkoRantalainen]

When you consider Master Passion Greed, Slow Love Slow and Harvest, it's really hard to say which genre Nightwish belongs to, if you had to select just one. Some say that Nightwish is a genre in itself.

[@gunterreihnhol6507]

Marko dropped the F word doing The "Kinslayer Live in Bunos Aires". I think he just spaced his part und Floor just rolled with it.

Nice. I’m sure I’ll hear that eventually. Haha

I hope you're not going to wait too long before listening to Bye Bye Beautiful now, because to me these two songs are most definitely linked. They haven't performed it live either, but it does has a fun music video.

Glad you finally got around to this one. I knew you would appreciate it. You can find pieces of this song sprinkled through the new album.

[@Silber7]

It is also a strong hint that Anette isn't in this song - because she had nothing to do with the subject matter. Same goes for some parts in Bye Bye Beautiful...

[@razzledazzleist]

This song is so underrated. A fantastic heavy. layered instrumental - probably one of my faves. Marco really shines on this one. I haven't listened to this in a while - thanks Tank now I'm gonna go listen to this on loop. Who am I kidding I'm just gonna have Dark Passion Play on repeat.

[@spinningiris]

Headbanging right along with you on this one. The orchestra really kills on this one, especially the brass at the end. There is another song that is heavy and angry (nothing like this of course) but still packs a punch. I suggested it on Chase Carneson's channel too, it's "Slaying the Dreamer" from their Century Child Album...it's a Tarja song, so might be a cool double reaction.

[@SokolRock]

From the official biography of Nightwish, it's clear that Tarja's husband/manager, Marcelo, was such a pain in the ass for the band's business that I think they were getting rid of Marcelo in the first place, and Tarja's firing was just a necessary part of that.

[@NicholasCorvin]

*That's for sure.*

[@jonhorrocks8999]

I wonder. If Tank had a beer for every time he got asked if he knew about Marco leaving Nightwish, when would he sober up?

[@ifu138]

Toumas and co. like to ignore that Marcelo and Tarja only got close because Marcelo was the only one to help her and then stay with her and look after she got assaulted at a concert, even though he barely knew her at the time. The band just went off to get drunk.

[@erwinzyx]

Yep...Two of your Nickelback guys. said they were cousins and from Canada. I had no clue !

[@bishopsteiner7134]

So true about the choice of finger/pick on bass. Watch MISA on Band Maid videos and live and while she is playing primarily with a pick, pretty much every song, somewhere she'll palm that pick like Harry Houdini and play slap or some songs just with fingers. For me it's as much about preference as it is the song. David Ellefson of Megadeth, uses a Pick. Marko. Jason Newsted. Many many more. The you have Steve Harris (Iron Maiden), Miho from Lovebites, Rob Trujillo, Cliff Burton who destroy on the bass with fingers. For myself I prefer to play with fingers, but after having my dominant wrist rebuilt, I had to switch to a pick for endurance and pain management.

[@npinjest7779]

With the impending switch at bass, would love to hear your take on NW's original bass player - he'd be featured on any pre-2001 performance, including From Wishes to Eternity live record. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on style differences, if any.

Great reaction, man! I can't wait for more of these Nightwish studio songs, since there are plenty that they've never played live or played in a long time. Getting a little bit into the husband/firing topic, I'd say that if what the band says is true, I wouldn't be surprised knowing how Argentinians are. Before someone judges me, I'm from Argentina too and I know we aren't all like that, but I can totally see the rumors being true. Also, there's an old video (recorded in 2007) of Marko recording those vocal lines. It's about 4 minutes long and totally worth watching. You can find it as '''Nightwish - recording in E-major studios 2007''

I think a talented bassist is what they need to find. Because I think Tory can take over many parts of the vocals. It won't be the same but Troy's voice fits very well with Floor. But I would guess Floor could probably do duets with anyone.

[@monicacarolina6480]

An "ode" to Marcello, Tarja's husband. The greed he had, destroyed their band. Forbidding Tarja to perform in the States, because the small venues were not bringing in enough money (small audience in the USA) not letting her travel with the guys, but needing her own tourbus, not letting her rehearse the songs with the band. He is some evil, greedy and insecure dude and you feel the anger and hate they feel towards him. This message is SO powerful, it must have been not a joke having a song like this deticated to you. I just love how they express their feelings in their music. True feelings from admiration, love to despite and hate. Bye bye beautiful is a message to Tarja herself, also angry...but not this hateful. When you listened to these songs, you understand the Poet and the pendulum even more. (you in general) Thank you

[@Dregon84]

One thing I love when watching reactors such as yourself, is that I start to focus more on the music and the lyrics. Normally I have music playing on the background all the time and it kind of fills the void when I'm doing something else. I hear the music but I'm not actually listening to it. Watching these videos forces me to focus more on the music itself. As a request, could you do a reaction to a song either from Angels Falls First, or the Oceanborn? Maybe something from their very first live DVD with Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica, or Tapio Wilska from Finntroll singing?
