"What have you got there?" "No idea, seems to be an instrument" "Give it to Troy, he'll be able to play it"

You made my day 🤣

There’s probably more truth to this comment than any of us realize. Haha

[@HattemAlHajry]

LOL

[@magnuspeacock5857]

If he ever decided to replace musical instruments with instruments of war, humanity would be screwed. Good thing he seems to nice to even consider doing that.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

But it doesn't use western scales!...Nah He'll play it. Floor will do harmonies as well...

[@thebeerstalker2952]

I think Nightwish Wednesdays could go on for a whole year. I would suggest "While your lips are still red", "Shudder before the beautiful", "Aplenglow" all from Wembley.

[@strikerextreem]

Yes, Nice build up until TGSOE. 😁

[@marinaandersson4381]

YES!!!

[@nonseinormale]

While your lips...live in Wembley could be very interesting for Tank and his passion for instruments and gear because of Troy ;-)

[@LunaBianca1805]

Oh, I love Alpenglow 🥰 That Edema Ruh (someone's been sneaking another hint on Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles into that one, eh? Great read by the way am waiting for the next book to come out😁 ) and Élan are among my absolute favourites on that album :)

[@Garbox80]

@@nonseinormale Yep, another neat feat of Troy's.

[@mikeyconcon]

Song of Myself is an absolute must!! As a man who appreciates a good headbang - this is the way.

This is The Way.

[@joeb303gaming9]

Seeing week fantasy come up at the end reminds me that it’s another great one for more Troy. Plus more double neck guitar from Marko.

[@darktitus]

Yes! Weak Fantasy is a great choice, Kai’s drum intro is outstanding

[@goranelez9956]

Oh yes weak fantasy is a great song! The Growling and Floor and all together, such a great song!! Please do it Tank ♥

[@timothyfritz5772]

Make sure it is the Tampere performance - just mind-blowing

[@kurzzyou5537]

Troy is using an E-bow in the song Marco sings ..While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley..Fantastic song.

[@mystisith3984]

My fave version of Red Lips. Chills guaranteed with that Ebow effect.

[@572Btriode]

And on a PRS.

[@amykennedy7451]

Yes you'll love that one, Tank!

[@ChrisHinton1967]

Also an E-bow on the Wembley version of GSoE.

[@ledgm108]

I've been pushing that one all over, hopefully someday 😞

[@saltefan5925]

A lot of people are recommending Harvest and Alpenglow before you partake in the Greatest Show on Earth. I would personally recommend "Endless Forms Most Beautiful", as there is a pretty direct connection between this song and "TGSOE"

[@jamesdavison56]

Yep agree... and an under appreciated song !!! the official Lyric Video is great.. Good heavy vibe to it.

[@pmasher]

@@jamesdavison56 Yea I love the lyric video

[@misi24069]

Yes!!

[@Jandor1]

Such a great song

[@mnewm21]

I agree! - Marco

[@vee6961]

Fun fact about the pipes: A musician once told me that an important difference between the Scottish pipes and the Uillean pipes is that the former were meant for war times, to scare and intimidate the opponent before a battle, whereas the latter were pipes meant for peace times - you can only play them sitting down. Love how much you love Troy, and how emotional you get over Folk songs. :D

[@mikegershon8528]

@Vee What a wonderful explanation. Makes perfect sense for me. Scottish pipes are when we are storming the castle and Uillean pipes are when we are warm and comfy in the tavern with a pint!

[@aenorist2431]

They also make for a great lament though, both of them.

[@crabuki1273]

Aplenglow would be a very good setup for GSoE, there's a small reprise you'll recognize if you watch Alpenglow first.

[@bashiel]

Can't wait to see you reacting to Greatest show on Earth! Alpenglow is a good one to watch before that.

[@mattitu]

Alpenglow is definitely one of the songs you need to hear before The Greatest Show.

[@Antonio-tn9cl]

Last ride of the day....a real banger!!!

[@marinaandersson4381]

YES, please!

[@andrewichigo]

If you want another set of songs in the folky style by them: Harvest (featuring Troy a lot) or Last of The Wilds and even Creek Mary's Blood would be a good shout. Other, more epic sounding one is Shoemaker

[@lordoverflow]

I would like him to do the new album after TGSOE meaning no Harvest or Shoemaker before that so my vote goes for Last of the Wilds of these.

[@2010zagadka]

I think you should follow Chase and take the new album in order, but after TGSOE simply because there isn't time before. When you get to How's the Heart then do a double reaction on the lyric video and the acoustic version with just Troy and Floor. They are quite different but still similar.

[@ari-etta]

Although I love to listen to Harvest and Shoemaker and can't wait for a reaction on these ones, they are from the last album and there are no live performances from that yet, so no Tech to discuss. But maybe Tank can recognize the Tech by just the sound of it. Wouldn't that be a nice challenge. He will probably have at least 1 right : Emppu on his EV-1

[@Elettelen]

Last of the Wilds!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3LFlmipf6mci6s Troy and Emppu Duo - Solo

[@helenahey]

Last of The Wilds is a beautiful instrumental! Love it so much.

[@black4pienus]

I like how they disguised Troy's chair as a rock. Just makes it so much cooler seeing him sit on a rock playing flute or pipes. lol. Like you could be walking in the middle of nowhere and suddenly a wild Troy sits on a rock playing flute. I could so imagine that. hahaha

[@mysticeyes_]

Song of Myself from Wacken 2013, bro! I'm actually impressed you've made it this far into your journey without covering that one haha That one aside though, you may want to do Alpenglow and perhaps Shudder before the Beautiful some time before TGSOE.

[@RandallMorris222]

I was trying to remember if you had done "Song of Myself!" If you haven't, I heartily support this recommendation. Another one that has, frankly, displaced "Song of Myself" as my favorite is "Pan."

[@siksimiksiFTW]

Last Ride of the Daaaaaaaayyyyyy! Please?

[@ojcorzog]

Just going to say this: you really NEED to watch "Elvenjig/Elvenpath" from the Buenos Aires Decades show if you want a folky vibe.

[@dutchguy1990]

I agree! Definitely check out that performance! Troy shows off his skills 😉

[@572Btriode]

@@dutchguy1990 Dead right, that pairing is rarely done for some reason but it's a brilliant song and instrumental.

[@cornflowerofsweden1288]

And here's the link: More folk-metal in the form of a very weird instrumental jig, "Elvenjig", followed by the amazing "Elvenpath" (Buenos Aires 2018): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJXGXoCmbtOeqck

[@karlaoliveira2355]

The next one could be " Last ride of the day - live at wacken" =D My walden is one of my favorites!!! That's awesome!!!!! And they have a new song, Shoemaker. E-P-I-C!

[@alithanna]

"My Walden" is somewhat unique due to the language of the intro stanza

[@karlaoliveira2355]

@@alithanna yes! I also love alpenglow, It makes me feel happy. Actually, I love all their songs 😂.

[@martinfaber5699]

next time "Song of myself" for sure 😃

[@ianmurdoch8319]

When you do "The Greatest Show.." use the Tampere version as there is a lot in the production that you will comment on. But if you want to see another facet of Troy Wembley especially the opening is very interesting. His use of an Ebow had me stunned.

[@jongu71]

Then I’d rather suggest choosing Tampere for TGSOE and another time react to While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley for the e-bow.

[@joylessdave]

I agree on tampere for gsoe. Especially for looking at the production, tech etc. The official live at Wembley is to dark and its only real plus over tampere is the guest appearance but the pyro at tampere is way better

[@cottagestoryteller]

I also agree with the Tampere version for TGSOE!

[@CJ-lo1ny]

Next Nightwish song : “ Weak Fantasy”Great reaction Tank, keep it up 👍

[@marinaandersson4381]

YES❤️!!

[@572Btriode]

@Louis Minten Yes three ! :-)

[@Amigazor]

I noticed that you still haven't reacted to Nightwish - Ever Dream from Wacken '13. In my opinion one of their best songs and Floor & Marco are killing it as usual. :)

[@manuelnavarro4625]

If you want more songs with Troy here is a few of them: Last of the wilds - Wacken While your lips are still red - Wembley (This is a romantic one, bring your wife xD) Weak Fantasy (This is Heavy) Nemo - Wacken (There is also and acoustic version with only floor and troy) Elan and at least half of the buenos aires concert

Nightwish Wednesday rocks!

[@liesjedegie1001]

Oh Tank, you will love TGSOE so much! And you must see the version off Tampere. Personally i love the version off Wembley better. But with you're experience, and you're love for the pipes, you need to see the Tampere version. And for now, maybe something different, Marko and While the lips are still red. An, i think, underrated song. We don't see much reactions off this song. And it's just TO beautifull.

[@parrotheadlasvegas]

YES!!!!! I can’t wait 😁 I probably won’t have time to comment soon after it goes live, but I highly recommend Shudder Before the Beautiful for the message, the interpersonal play between the band mates, and the awesome production 😉 Also, Alpenglow and While Your Lips are Still Red 😊 To borrow from Chase, have a damn good day 🤘😎🎸

[@Buffaloheart68]

One of my favorite songs of this album. Having both Celtic and Nordic ancestry this kind of folk music always tugs at the heart.

[@phillee2814]

Fun fact - this was the first Nightwish concert for Floor's parents, and she was so nervous about breaking up if she looked at them she had to make sure she knew the exact-sight line to avoid from all parts of the stage so as to avoid an emotional "moment". On Troy and his Uilleann pipes - he has apparently played an active role in the development of the instrument to a full chromatic scale, meaning there is now a single Uilleann set that can play in any key. He seems o be one of those incredibly rare musicians that can just pick up and master just about any instrument with the minimum of instruction in how it works and a couple of hours practice.

[@alithanna]

Compared to the Highland bagpipes which only are in b flat. They don't have the full chromatic scale...

[@Mischnikvideos]

Auri is recommended for more folk. In 2010 Tuomas had the idea to start a band with his wife as a singer and Troy. At Auri you can hear all the ingredients that he later throws into the big metal pot: folk, film and pop music. The debut album will be released in 2018. Thanks to Corona last month has been another mixed finish.

[@TheBelegurx]

My personal suggestion, as i wrote in the Reacticide chat, would be Sleeping Sun, and though i ABSOLUTLY love Floors version, i would say its time for some Tarja to change the mood. Or maybe a double reaction, lol. Think about it.

[@pulaold9310]

Sleeping Sun live and the music video, Marco was born to play a Viking

[@flaviovergottini652]

@@pulaold9310 Marko was born to RULE the Vikings!🔨👑🛡 🤘😉👍

The Siren, from End of an era would be something very different.

definitely a double reaction, both versions are good and it also shows the development of the band through time with different singers!

[@samanthar1214]

As much as you love the Celtic and folk sound, and Troy, I can't wait for you to do Harvest. I know that won't be for awhile since there's only a lyric video. Not exactly any gear lol

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

This is how to play a Celtic folksong. Floor and Troy in harmony - pure magic. There are a few more where Floor and Troy just kills it, like the Carpenter (Buenos Aires 2018) - Troy lead singer - and Harvest from Human Nature. Great reaction - and nope - you can't find a Nightwish song that you dislike. It is simply not possible, while they have never done anything else than phenomenal creations 😉 These 6 people - their creativity in combination - nope - never going to happen👍🤘🤘🤘 And another great reaction from you 👍 🤘 🤘

[@josejesuscontrerassalazar9140]

Harvest, Last of The Wilds and Alpenglow should be next to keep the folk vibe rolling.

[@jukkaaho9056]

Weak Fantasy, the Tampere performance. For one, it's a banger. The second thing that makes it so meaningful for me personally, is the message within the lyrics. Not everyone will agree with that sentiment, but for me it's one of the more powerful Nightwish songs lyrically.

[@screwedagain1]

I hear ya. That Celtic vibe just stirs something in the soul.

[@chadmcdaniel9023]

I had the biggest smile on my face that entire song. I think its a mix of the music and how much they seem to enjoy each other and the music while they perform. Man I love this band.

[@zehnra]

Thanks once again, Tank, for a great reaction! If we're keeping with the Celtic theme, Harvest (no live video since it's from Human :||: Nature) and Last of the Wilds (instrumental, played live at Wacken) are probably your best bet. Otherwise, I'm going back to my request for Dark Chest of Wonders along with deep cuts. The downside to deep cuts is there aren't live versions for many of them. Bare Grace Misery, White Night Fantasy, and Live to Tell the Tale are all super deep cuts I personally enjoy without studio-cut live versions. The Kinslayer is another, but it has live versions from both Tarja and Floor, so it might be a better pick for you. It was written about Columbine, which is helpful to know when listening. Gethsemane has a live version with Floor, and I absolutely love the key work from Tuomas on it. I'll also echo my previous comment suggesting Bye Bye Beautiful and Master Passion Greed just to round out the Tarja catharsis trilogy, but again, I don't think there's live versions.

[@ayrie09]

Bare Grace Misery :O wow didn't expect that to come up. Love the song!

[@paulolopes5237]

I understand way you love this music. You say it makes you feel home. To me it makes me feel a call back to the roots, to nature. I imagine myself celebrating nature, with all Nightwish fans, on a full moon night, dancing around fire with cups full of wine. (Sorry for some English mistakes).

Your English is great, man! Thank you for sharing this!

[@leonardgladden7910]

I could not agree with you more Tank. I love the Celtic sound so much and mixed with the rock elements it is just perfection 🥰

[@korvik933]

for more folk/celtic Nightwish I recommend "Élan" - Live in Buenos Aires

[@Methras]

Just got to say, once again, that Nightwish Wednesday has become the highlight of my week! I still would LOVE a video where you listen to the same song from the 3 different singers. "Sleeping Sun" is a great example. Not to compare the singers, but to compare the different "feel" the song gets from the 3 different vocalists!

[@pretzeldip7234]

"While your lips are still red" is one of my favorite songs and it is defenitly an interesting one where Troy pulls out some more tricks out of his great bag of instruments =3

I feel you mate, the folkie vibe is incredible, you can fell the Scottish or Irish grass under your feet, you almost sense the rainy smell in the air. Great reaction, great song!!!

[@mbo191]

Yes we all love Troy and his massive pipes, even the Finns have taken him to their heart. Uilleann Pipes has sometimes also been called "The Devils Pipes". I don't know exactly where but it's supposed to be an old Celtic Cross in Ireland, towards the West Coast I think. On that Cross you can see St Peter in the middle, dividing up people - who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell.For those who go to Heaven thete is a person playing a Celtic Harp meeting them, and for those going to Hell - I think you can guess it - Yes there is a person playing the Uilleann Pipes meeting them. An old joke about the Uilleann Pipes is that it's the safest instrument in the world, because it has both a Safety Belt and an Air Bag. If you jump back to rhe classic concert at Wacken 2013 and play "Last Of The Wildes" you will see 82.000+ people headbanging to Troy playing his massive pipes. It's a purely instrumental song, no singing at all. (On my mobil so I don't have the link right now.) Cheers / B.

[@mbo191]

Had a look at the video and I changed my mind, you should NOT have a look and listen to this because you are going to crack up, at least during the first minute. I am not in any way an expert on the Uileann Pipes, but from what I understand it's an extremely difficult instrument to play. I have also seen somewhere that it's regarded as a "wild" instrument because of it's tendency to "jump away" and sound completely different to what the player intended. "Last Of The Wilds", Live at Wacken 2013. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3LFlmipf6mci6s Cheers / B.

[@mbo191]

I'll throw in one more song on Uilleann Pipes, just for good measure. John McSherry playing "Doinna" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWGugoesbdapoac Cheers / B.

I can't believe that the first time I saw Troy was when he was playing with a band called The Enid, and it goes back almost to the days of black & white televisions.

[@calanor4130]

@@Brummiemartin 😮 I had completely missed the fact that Troy was in The Enid! I can't say that I've listened to the band itself, but I remember that they were playing with - perhaps a bit unexpectedly - Kim Wilde in the early 80s. You can see the band in the official music video for "View from a Bridge" (1982) for instance, though that was apparently before Troy was in the band. Thanks for that bit of info!

[@wargrumnz3072]

Dead Boys Poem at Buenos Aires - Utterly beautiful Dark Chest of Wonders - Opening song at Wacken - Epic Stargazers at Tampere - Nice version of one of their older songs. The new Human : Nature stuff is wonderful, but because it all released this year, the only live stuff is an acoustic version of How's the Heart (which is phenomenal). But the album is so good you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don't listen to it from start to finish in order. Sadly there is sweet f all for a roadie to react to in the lyric vids.

Sleeping Sun is still a hot button! :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/poezhYh7jJaDe68 Recap: Nightwish manager asked Tuomas to make a ballad song a single that was not on any album (later added to Oceanborn 1998). Tuomas wanted to make a ballad about the 1997 solar eclipse and this song came to be. Everytime I hear the song I see a winter wonderland in my mind with cold air and sleeping town. It's magical.

Troy singing in Welsh has to be one of the greatest gifts Nightwish has given us. ♥ He has such a lovely, warm soothing voice and by some, probably unfair stroke of luck it goes perfectly with both Floor *and* Marco's. Suggestions for next song: 'Alpenglow', now that we started with uplifting folky stuff, or 'Song of Myself' from Wacken which is just a masterpiece.

It's very similar to Welsh, but it's a related language actually, from Cumbria.

@@alithanna Oh? I had thought Cumbric was all but dead -- and no idea that Troy spoke it. Cool!

I'll throw my vote in for the song Elan. The live in Buenos Aires one is awesome because of the energy in the crowd!

One of my fave Nightwish songs is “Dead Gardens” from the “Once” album. Unfortunately I don’t think they have performed it live since Tarja left so there is no good live version to be found, but the studio version really rocks!!

first time I heard Troy was in the early 90's when he was playing with Iona (guitars, whistles, uiliean pipes,...) - always a joy listen to him!

If you want to know a little more about Troy, he played with an English 'Folk Rock' outfit called "The Bad Shepherds" in parallel with his many Nightwish duties. They were around 2008-16 and here's a sample whilst they were on their 2013 Oz tour explaining the pipes and playing plus the Bazouki kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmG8nK1tg5t_b6M
