Tarot:Wings Of Darkness

[@OdeForCruelty]

The pioneers like Tarot are responsible of this flourishing metal scene that we have in Finland these days. Thanks guys.

[@jccasts]

Im Really Impresed whit all that stuff he did and still doing it, What a front man for a rock band, last weekend Nigthwish concert at NYC. Tank goog a dont miss that concert Marco you are the Man.

[@Boegea]

Just love this song. No wonder they condsidersd him to replace Bruce Dickinson when he left IM still great that Bruce came back and Marco can continue as Marco himself

[@Thunder1991able]

Unique band.Can't stop headbanging while i'm listening to their songs.\m/

[@mac4everpcnever]

Bought this 12" when it was released, changed my world forever!! 20 years later Tarot rocks and Nightwish rolls!!

[@Slackmann]

Still the best ever metal song from Finland.

[@Niobesnuppa]

Hahaha! 2:21, the famous crazy-Marco-Hietala-smile! It's so strange seeing him so young when I'm used to see him as a 42 years old rocker-legend...

[@BjornstjernM]

You can hear that it's Marco without looking. His voice is timeless and unmistakeable.

[@Sabbathman1979]

Marco was only 20 years old when he gave his performances on the album The Spell Of Iron...fantastic singer back then, still is.

[@Rokkimamma]

Unbelieveable Finnish metal history!!I love...

[@popog]

Marco's face clearly shows claustrophobical kind of immense terror. "Help me to get away from here !" Very very nice song, great band.

[@4712POMMES]

I've been waiting if...and now it comes across my mind:-) Hanoi Rocks 1980-85, reunion 2003. Not quite the same time, this here was 1986, Hittimittari was 1984-88 . Marco was also with Sinergy, Impaled Nazareme, Conquest(Worlds apart), and, while Nightwish, with Aina(Days of rising doom), Altaria(Invitation), Delain(Lucidity). No news, the last ones, I think, anyway nice to see you =D

[@NNNightstalkerrr]

There's no doubt that that's Marco, you can tell by the way he shifts his eyes and has that crazy look when he sings, he always does that and I think it's the most awesome thing ever

[@ThePriestofJudas]

It's so hard to link this Marco with the present one... Great song, great band.

[@SAFanism]

Marco and Zachary looked fantastic! ;D But the band is still damn great!

[@Zlukaka]

OMG! Marco looks SO DIFFERENT! XD But he's still handsome. And has the same wonderful voice. :D

[@UnholyMessiah555]

Marco without his awesome beard. xD This is good, classic stuff

[@CaDDyMay]

What a great song from the tarot

[@danalee48]

Oh wow, thank you for bringing to total randomness to this board. Because you know that I asked if Marco was in any bands other than Tarot, not that he was pretty back in the day. Thank you, you made me laugh. And yes, of course I know he's in Nightwish. lol

[@belIadonna]

Damn right it rules, and so does Marco. It was a different time, I was a girl in the 80s, never heard of Tarot then, but yeah, I would have put him on my hot list.

[@4712POMMES]

Metamorphosis? What a change of Marco's outfit, appearance and voice! Here similar to Cooper, Mercury, LZ . nowadays grave What will he be like after another 15 years?

[@DemonGojyo]

MIO DIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Al prossimo concerto in italia glielo devo far vedere xxD

[@AzagXul666]

Perkele! Loistavaa, tämä tuli nähtyä viimeksi ´80-luvulla. Eka Suomibändi joka kunnolla kolahti. :)

[@Niobesnuppa]

Hahaha! HarryPotterManiak, does Tarot rock your sock? XD Hahaha! Brilliant song, but Marco's hair is really funny in this video! XD Actaually, everyone's hair looked funny in this video, but they were all so young... And kinda hot...

[@Maxi_Nqn]

Very Good Tarot.. the look jejeje.. But Is a good Band. THe sound the voice.. TAROT RULES =D

[@mofrakker]

OMG! Spinal Tap has REALLY IMPROVED! This is very Maidenesque. Which is a good thing. Not even Maiden sounds like Maiden anymore.

[@antonsdefrancua]

Marco is so young but his voice is and was great!

[@TVDUDRock]

Bloody hell! The only thing that hasn't changed about Marco is his voice! I wouldn't have recognised him if I didn't already know that was him.

[@ArvexYT]

Yep. Whole band started in 1985 as Purgatory and changed names to Tarot shortly before their first album was released.

[@juha667]

Video is actually filmed and aired on early 1986. Spell of Iron LP was released late 1986. Marco was barely 20 when this was filmed.

[@LostMemory1993]

WAHA! I can't believe that's Marco xD Only the voice sounds the same of now I think.. And he has blond hair, sings and plays bass.. That's it xD It's really really funny! xD Tarot is awesome anyway!

[@SacredSerenity]

It'd be very cool to hang out with him, I met him and he laughed at my jokes, and I got a hug.

[@lerxst77]

it's Marco, he was much younger back then. there's also bunch of other old Tarot vids with younger Marco go check 'em out: Tarot - Love's Not Made For My Kind Tarot - I Don't Care Anymore

[@Krowsnest]

Thank you whoever told Marco to grow some facial hair lol. Good song

[@Lenyberry]

First time I saw this I thought THIS CAN'T BE THE SAME TAROT! But the voice is the same so I have to believe.

[@VaggelisLamia]

Thanx!!!My fave Tarot song!

[@Iamalmostfamous127]

YUP!!!! I just didn't know he at one point looked like this! haha

[@antonsdefrancua]

I can't imagine if Marco was beard in that time! :D

[@grimloq]

i love this Marco xD

[@Iamalmostfamous127]

YEAH!!! holy crap! I just met him the other night...haha cool

[@mukundalonso]

i cant believe thats marco!!! He's got the same fuckin voice!!! this is awesome!!!

[@Boegea]

@05insomnium Steve Harris told in interview, years back. Marco have also told this in his interview

[@LordDraco3]

Wow...Marco has come a looong way lol

[@8Dumahia8]

EXTREME MAKEOVER!!!!! O__O

[@ComeToTheFeastOfWar]

I wish I would have a bass like that...

[@Tumukki]

Ai jumalauta, legendaarinen oli toi kasikyt luku :)

[@SweetArion]

OH MY GOD?!?!!?!? IS THAT MARCO HIETALA?!?!?!..XDDD OK OK BUT HIS VOICE WAS IS AND WILL BE GREAT AS EVER.. o.o

[@ArvexYT]

Yes, this is Tarot. This was them in the 80's. Just so you know, the second guitarist (with the guitar that looks sort of like a sideways K) is Mako H. That's all I know about him apart from the fact he left on bad terms with them and took a lot of their equipment with him.

[@IDislikeCowards]

THAT'S Marco? Sort of looks all glammed up, OMG. LOL!!!!!!! It's definitely his voice though. Not bad really, just a bit of a shock to see him dolled up like that, holy shit.

[@barrry9]

Well - it WAS 1985/6 - most metallers from the Finno-Scanadian regions were lookin like a weird mix of Twisted Sister and Poison lol - just look at Krokus!! :p

[@lerxst77]

well.. it's some kind of paint in his teeth or just plain natural black'n yellow teeth :D or.. maybe Marco tried to look scary.. reminds me bit of dee snider of Twisted Sister \o/

[@ahudson099]

Forgive me if you disagree, but Marco sounds very similar to Michael Kiske here to me. I prefer him now with Nightwish and the rerecorded version of this song but it's still good and Tarot is definately great. Marco just lived Metal his whole life it seems haha

[@JovidzaCar]

yup it is him , hes style while hes singing and moving with eyes and mouth ....

[@zetmetal]

damn! thought at firs that was dee snider singing coz he kinda look and sound like him...if i havent read some of the comments here i wouldn't know it was marco (of nightwish) during his younger years...

[@DarthSivius]

is this really really THE MArco Hietala who we all love so much from Nightwish? hihi xD

[@DoodVizier]

that guy has one hell of a voice.. just fuckin awsome

[@Argryth]

No, I believe this was their video back in the early 90s or so. Maybe even late 80s I believe Tarot has been around that long

[@renji123123]

he looks like a child on this vid compared to how he looks like to day o.O AWSOME SONG!!

[@PyroGhost27]

Wow, Marco without his beard. :O

[@TarjaHolopainen]

It's Marco??? Oh my god!! :)

[@TBZK]

Exactly what I was thinking lmao. Man totally changed. t's hard to believe it haha. Still rocks

[@buslady]

@fireflower201 very very very aware lol cracks me up Saku is sooooooo skinny here...I notice he even held the pick a little different here than today.

[@05insomnium]

@Boegea Really?! where did you find out about that? I'm intrigued now.

[@javi77s]

Marco joined the band in the year of 2002 thats another dude!

[@heykkis]

OMG, ei tosta kyllä Marcoa tunnista... :D Kihara tukka ja meikkiä... :)

[@barrry9]

Yer - he has a Dee Sneider look to him in this - but then again - it was somat like '85 when this was released...so yer, a fair bit of time's gone by lol

[@blearghp]

back then make-ups,hard rocking music,tight clothing and leather IS metal...thus the reason marco and his mate's looks. Now, braided beards,leather and hard rocking music IS marco's new look...which is no different except for the exchange of tight clothes and make-ups to the braided beard which equals to rocking beard

[@BjornstjernM]

2:10. Valhalla becomes Walhalla. Finnish accents are awesome.

[@Niobesnuppa]

Hahaha! Men se på all den sminken, da! XD Vel, vel, i det minste er Marco naturlig blond, så det så ikke like ille ut som hvis det hadde vært en mørkhåret som hadde bleika håret!

[@ICEQUEEN777]

I LOVE MARCO...its funny how he looks here...haha..

[@ManofWar55]

If you pause it at 2:20 it looks like he is wearing a mask!

[@LP0209]

omg. i am glad that Marco and the band not loke like this today. but they are still good.

[@Boegea]

@05insomnium It is found in Wikipedia too look up, Marco Hietala

[@Keerfin]

How did Marco went from curly hair to straight long blond as he has now??? XD definitely I prefer him now.. jeje hes mouth looks bigger also ^^

[@EdPadovan]

Tarot's band is very very good...

[@dupekkurwano]

Hail to the Teeth Metal! :D

[@Dreamxwalking]

Oh my god! That's Marco!!! (Well, I guess all of you allready have figured it out, but my eyes won't belive what they're seeing xD)

[@Maddolis]

Hahah, doesn't look like Marco but that sure as hell is his voice.

[@dupekkurwano]

Hail to the Teeth Metal!

[@EPICJASKA]

not the newest tarot, but it still rocks

[@prigel]

yes indeed.... awesome :D

[@CrYsT4LCl4wS]

80's hard rock, man...

[@belIadonna]

If that singer didn't look so demented, I would swear that could not possibly be Marco, he looks so different-either way he is awesome, but he has improved greatly with age.

[@themightychickens]

Ouch, the looks of the drummer is gonna give me nightmares :S (0.36)

[@666Decius]

lol... wow... sounds like marco but looks so different

[@djyacare1]

NOOOO MARCOOOOOO I't can't be possible god!

[@fireflower201]

@buslady He seems very aware of the camera

[@Unski1985]

WTF!!???? Että mitä VITTUA???!!! Onks toi meiän Marco? Is that our Marco? Now I have seen everything... Xb

[@Lenyberry]

oh...my...god... The mullets...*hides* Awesome song though.

[@Redrally]

woah...I knew Marco was a veteran but...80s?

[@lamentes]

Tarot through the ages: todays episode "Scary vikings with evil teeth and drummer in skin tight leaperd suits go crazy in epilepsy inducing lighting!"

[@kittkatt032]

He's in nightwish too, but you probaly already knew that.

[@gorgerak]

minor problem with pixelaion lol - but awesome ats

[@arv919]

O..O thats marco?!? wow. he looks a bit different nowadays

[@OceanbornAngel]

I don't think i can ever look at Marco the same way again after this video. I rather prefer his current look right now.

[@pissofff1]

i agree sounds like dio good call

[@CamusDesings]

Tarot! the Vikings of HEavy MEtal!!!!

[@dupekkurwano]

Long live Teeth Metal!

[@lildarkrose13]

I know I'm probably going to get thumbs down by this, but Marco did a hell of an upgrade in a appearance, I think he looks better now than before.

[@KazilTheDarkeye]

Eighties Tarot. Cool.
