VOICE TEACHER REACTS TO NIGHTWISH - The Greatest Show on Earth

Yeah. I sing and play a good few instruments, and there's none I find harder to play and sing along than bass guitar. Might be me, but I have mad respect for bassists who do vocals.

@@MikeGoodrich BTW Mike, Marco Hietala is the lead singer of the band Terot and also has a couple solo albums. If you want to hear more of him, I recommend checking out "truth will set you free" from his solo album "Pyre of the Black Heart" released this year.

[@EricManktelow]

The narrator is Prof. Richard Dawkins one of the world's leading evolutionary scientists. They've used passages from his book The Greatest Show on Earth and he narrated it for the song on the album. He also walked out on to the stage at Wembley and spoke it in person. The band (especially Tuomas who wanted to be a biological scientist before he became a musical genius) were star struck with having him agree to come on stage with them to narrate in person. And he was blown away (and terrified) because he's done lectures etc but never to 12500 screaming fans at a Rock concert. So glad you watched it to the end, loads of reactors miss the pay off of the climax with them all thanking the crowd and hugging.

[@ChrisRS7]

He missed the last part though: „... endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved!“

@@Debbie338 Greetings random person responding to my 2 year old comment. I still love Nightwish and I still think Floor is the best female rock singer on the planet, but I've since discovered a band that has pushed Nightwish back to my second favourite hard rock/metal band. If you like metal, especially the classic 80's Speed/Power/Thrash metal, then you should check out Lovebites, a Japanese, all female metal band. They sing in English, but the vocalist's enunciation is imperfect becuase she is not singing in her native language. Here's their most recent song if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TYeJ2mYrVqeqs&ab_channel=LOVEBITES

[@ShintogaDeathAngel]

[@ShintogaDeathAngel]

The very special thing about Nightwish is that every band member is a genius in his/her field but they work together perfectly and step back as a person behind the music. You can see this clearly when a band member finished his/her part he/she often leaves the front of the stage and goes into the background. And you are right, Mike, everyone of them could be a star by himself/herself.

Then there is the band "All Hietala Power Trio". Marko, bass and vocals, Marko's brother Zachary (Sakari officially), guitar, and Miro, 18, Markos son, drums. The future is quaranteed! They played Black Sabbath covers a couple of weeks ago on a live stream from Kuopio Finland, their home town, for 30 minutes, two nights in a row. Both streams available now on YT. Check them out. Same set list on both nights. In the later one Marko forgets the lyrics, (War Pigs was the song i believe, the last song), and reacts to that in Finnish: "Perkele!" In Buenos Aires 2018, Kingslayer was the song I think, his reaction in a similar situation was: "Fuck me!" That's Marko! LOL

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Dear Mike, this is why the Nightwish Army loves Nightwish. The ability to overwhelm guys like you - well, trust me, we have all been there, and still are at every concert and new record. This is Nightwish in a nutshell - and - as you said - using the technology to underline the messages in their songs. But having said that, these 6 are unique. Tuomas are the modern Beethoven, Floor, Marco and Troy are completely insanely voice nerds, and Kai is a technical master on the drums - and Empphu's guitar handling are superb. And look at their chemistry - as Floor puts it: They are brothers in arms. They take the lead on shifts appreciating each other - the are the masters of live concerts, giving people experiences in more than just the ears. This is Nightwish. Great reaction from you - and you are by far, not the oldest. There are fans from 10 to 90, and a large portion of these are between 40 to 70.

He’s not a “sir” though. Controversial figures don’t get Knighted unfortunately … He should definitely be a “sir” in my opinion, but he’s not.

[@orion351us]

@@aeldin131 He is a Sir in my eyes, even though I dont agree with his religious stance. He is a Sir, because he makes me think critically why Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I have no problem saying this, because I have a deep passion for science as well.

@@jeroens9160 ummmm, thank you. I didn't expect that response.

I LOVE your enthusiasm! If I told you that Floor was growling like a demoness the second song on this concert, would you believe me? What I love about Nightwish is that they don't just deliver a concert, they deliver an experience, a whole emotional rollercoaster. After the concert you are so filled with emotions! BTW, Marco has his own solo projects :)

[@wudruffwildcard252]

I really think that part that you mean the animalistic cavemen chant is actually done by Troy, he came back on stage right at the exact time and he has done it life in other concerts. Not that Floor couldn't have done it, but Nightwish more and more used Troy to give the other band members more space to recuperate.

[@johnlindquist1784]

@@wudruffwildcard252 I think he means that Floor growls in "Yours is an Empty Hope", the second song of this concert. And it was Floor doing the caveman grunt, not Troy or Marko.

You should watch Nightwish do "Ever Dream" at Wacken - amazing crescendo

Great reaction again. Thank's! A bit worried though that you'll have a Nightwish-stroke 🤯 I long for your reaction to "Shoemaker" and.. well the entire new album. But I'll be murder-killed by the Nightwish army (😇) if I don't ask you to do a few of the older stuff first. Whatever you decide I'll watch it.

[@tahhah3449]

This is not only a song , its drama , and live! And its Fantastic! Who can do better music? Nobody!

[@ChrisPage68]

Mike - your reaction IS the gift! Our Ann would have been smiling with pride, eyes moist, as she watched you immerse yourself into it, your expert analysis of technique never getting in the way of your enjoyment. 👍😉

Irish uilleann pipes have got to be one of the most beautiful sounds ever created, such an earthy sound that just drowns itself and the listener in the world of the fearie folk that lives hand in hand with the Emerald Isle 💚☘️🇨🇮

[@bert2673]

Great reaction. Love youre comments. Song of myself next time ptease.

[@TheAlduar]

I just like to see an old man dropping his jaw like he's entering Disneyland for the first time as a kid. Love your attitude.

[@MrGeneration83]

I would love to see you react to Henk Poort and Sound of Silence.

[@hanespower2596]

You can literally see Mike's mind blowing at the end with that last note.

[@andrewbennefield529]

I'm at a different level of humanity and musical awareness because of my discovery of Nightwish. They are truly that impactful and important. Yeah, they are on a whole different level of performance. What a group of beautiful people.

[@Vigilanis]

Great reaction, and great Captain Kirk impression, you are only scratching the surface of what both Floor and Marco can do, for Marco, check out Nightwish's cover of "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd from their End of an Era show - or "the Islander" from Tampere Finland - the same show as this video, also "Phantom of the Opera" from the End of an Era concert also, this is with their original singer Tarja too. Just to give a taste of what Marco can really do :) So much more for you to experience, you have one hell of a journey ahead of you, Floor will constantly surprise you every time :)

[@corneliusantonius3108]

I had a good talk with Ann on KZbin once. 💕 And Floor Jansen is the Queen of The Mix, She is smiling while singing. And Marko Hieltala ? Try his song "Stones"

[@k5laman]

The Moody Blues, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull and so many more. An 8 track player & a '64 Mercury Comet! " I WAS THEEEEERE."

[@wyrus1989]

great to see a reaction from someone who actually has some musical knowledge..loved the video..and the man narating in the song is a scientist prof. Richard Dawkins..they colaborated with him on the album and the title of the song is actually taken from the title of one of his books "The Greatest Show On Earth"

[@natev580]

The use of her entire register is completely effortless for her. No matter how many times I listen to this, i still get goose bumps.

[@gmurph]

"and both of 'em are spinning like tops with their vibrato" such a cool expression right there🙌 and then that ad 🤣 epic reaction Mike *Kiitos!*

[@MikeGoodrich]

Thank you so much!! That ad really threw me...haha!

[@KelbenArunsun]

One more thing: If you love complex voice work and like to explore some other parts of the metal community, heres a suggestion, from my personal favorites: Van Canto are a Accapella Hero Metal band. Yes, they are still metal, but they do it Accapella. There are 3 songs i can reccommend to grasp a bit of theit abilities and to get a sense of what they are capable of: First: Van Canto - Wishmaster Its a cover from a Nightwish Song (hence the connection) and its redicoulous and awesome at the same time. Second: Van Canto - If i die in battle This is one of their own songs, and i just reccomend it for purely selfish reasons (i was part of the musicvideo 😅 ) Third: Van Canto - Bards Call Its one of their best in my personal opinion. Voices of Fire is by far one of their best albums and this song grasps the progress this band has made through out their journey. A complete different thing, which i highly suggest too: They are one of the oldest Heroic Power Metal Bands out there, Blind Guardian. A German Power house, making music for over 30 years by now, mostly tackling fantasy topics and producing opulent long songs with orchestra and everything. Here i would reccomend the Video from Wacken, where they sang The Bards Song and Valhalla. Its 2 Songs for one but both are awesome and completely different

[@EricManktelow]

Instant like then watch video!

[@ninocuric5290]

Lol me to

[@MrRon1968]

hahahaha same here

[@damonbryan7232]

That is awesome. Tackling the epic trifecta right out of the gate. Almost watched you fall out of your chair was priceless. You wouldn't be the first. 😄 That's just a glimpse of what makes nightwish a great band. If you're interested in some other different vocals. The Islander live at tempere, Marko takes lead Yours is a Empty Hope live at Wembley, Floor showing off a different part of her vocals. (Hint pay attention to the chorus. That's not Marco) Harvest official lyric video. It's off their new album. Troy takes lead.
