About Floor's hair blowing in the wind.... You could say she has a floor fan down there, but you'd be wrong. She actually has 82,000 Floor fans down there! BWAHAHAHAHA! ;)
To explain to Mike and Ginger .. Ann was a great Nightwish fan and always gave great comments to reactors .... she was a huge fan and was such a wonderful ambassisidor of the Army .. she sadly passed this year .... this was her fav song of nightwish..a poem by Walt Whitman is the basis of this song !!
This was 14 out of 15 in setlist. You want Marco. My suggestion is nightwish version of Pink Floyd's High Hopes. Even David G. said it's the best version he has ever heard. Even the lighting guys pay homage to Pink Floyd if you pay attention. Then you want more Marco there's Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red and The Islander(Marco has a t shirt the reads "Floor is MY backup singer")😄
Marko plats bass, and he have a great voice. He have three songs where he's solo/lead. High hopes (Pink Floyd cover, even David Gilmour shared it on his Twitter) The Islander where Marko wrote the music and Tuomas wrote the lyrics, and Kiss while your lips are still red, another Marko and Tuomas number written for the Finnish movie "Lieksa!"
Like everyone else has said on here, Marco singing "The Islander" is a great listen and I prefer the live at Tampere version where it is just him out in the middle of the audience. Plus you can also watch "Greatest Show on Earth" from the same concert. There is also another song that not many will recommend but it was a popular song and that's "Bye Bye Beautiful" with Annette instead of Floor.
You really want to hear The Beautifullness of Floors voice check out Hows The Heart The Acoustic Versión and Dead Boys Poem live at Buenos Aires. Cmon NightWish army back me up
I LOVE the intricacies of the music in the background. Playful, adding power, tension, or release. Tuomas is a genius. Then add these exceptional musicians and Floor - its amazing.
Guys, you've picked a killer one here. Definitely one of my favourites. On the album it's 13 minutes short. Just a beautiful song. Marko and Floor singing together is just out of this world P.S. I want to see the headphones go flying🤣🤣🤣 Marko does some really good songs. The Islander is a great folk song that Marko does. Definitely worth a listen to. Maybe some tissues might be an idea.😪😪😪
Wonderful reaction guys. I'm not sure what you've covered already but one beautiful song that isn't reacted to as much as it should be is 'Dead Boy's Poem' live in Buenos Aires - I just know you'll both love it!
She sounds like a Goddess because to us she IS one. But she's humble, sweet and down-to-earth as well as a phenomenal performer. She's also a great role model for all. Rick Roll? 😜 Floor would sing a great version of Never Gonna Give You Up! 🔥
@@MikeandGinger we LOVE having reactors fall in Love with NW, Floor's vocals also seem to move even the toughest of guys,Ever Dream is a must for you from the Wacken 2013 setlist, then Amaranth,Bless The Child,Nemo, of course there is Vilja Lied from the Beste Zangers : Floor Jansen sings Vilja Lied for Henk Poort, Beste Zangers 2019 (eng subs). : ua-cam.com/video/k4Bp7exJufs/v-deo.html .. cheers
The Heart cover was with one of her previous bands, After Forever. (ua-cam.com/video/EpxOKueE-_0/v-deo.html) . She also did a cover of Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen with them that is incredible (ua-cam.com/video/OwmwpPq6FHQ/v-deo.html).
You two are fast becoming my favorite reactors lol. I love your humor, I love the way you look at the other one when you heard something you KNOW your spouse is gonna say oooh about
Loved it, dont know if you know but at this point Floor wasn't even an official member of the band, she was a stand in for former singer Anette Olson who left in 2012, when Floor was offered the spot she was asked to learn the set list in 48 hours, there is a full documentary about it actually called "Please learn the set list in 48 hours". Of course she is officially a member now and still with them, but back at Wacken, she was officially a stand-in only. For more Marco try "The Islander" from Tampere in Finland, or "High Hopes" which is a Pink Floyd cover Marco sings on the End of an Era DVD. Keep up the great work guys, loving joining your Journey through music I know so well :)
Great reaction guys. If you want to check out Marko being showcased check out the Islander or High Hopes (it's an amazing Pink Floyd cover). Also I think you would enjoy his parts in Everdream from the same Wacken concert.
I never got to know Ann, she passed before i found nightwish, i'm a 62 year old female, so about 4 years younger than Ann was when she passed away, RIP Ann..
Only in this concert there was a major costume change; normally she gets by with just taking off or putting on a jacket or a cape. Ummm... how about something from a concert two years later? With Floor having acquired tattoos, thigh-high boots and a bit of a warrior queen persona: 7 Days to the Wolves ua-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/v-deo.html
Hey guys, great reaction Want to hear more of Marco's capabilities (bassist and male lead singer) - React to Romanticide (duet or should I say duel with Floor) from the Wacken 2013 Live concert, or the Islander from Tampere Live 2015, or Kiss while your lips are still red - Wembley live 2016, or NW cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes, or Devil and Deep Dark Ocean (Buenos Aires 2018) or.... so many great duets/harmony with Floor (and Troy) Want to hear more of Floor's smooth voice - React to: Shallow Beste Zangers 2019 and many more - Floor can sing anything in any genre.
You guys are so Canadian - I love it. Mike exudes this kind of dignified (mostly) calmness that reminds me of the late Neil Peart and Ginger is just sweet-hot. Now that I've buttered you up, I think you would really appreciate the Nightwish cover of the song High Hopes originally by Pink Floyd. Marko sing the entire song; Tarja is off the stage for an outfit change or something. Performance is from their last show with Tarja in 2005 in Helsinki.
when a new machine gun is built, the manufacturers seek out jukka and adjust the rate of fire. his double base counts :) Greetings from Germany: Nightwish Army
The album version is longer with more spoken prose at the end. Worth a listen even if not a reaction. Headphones going flying is perfectly acceptable!!!! I love "piano black" - I used to have a black piano.
Thanks! This is probably my favorite live performance! It's topped, in my mind, only by "Pan" from their newest album. That one hasn't yet been performed live but there's a really good lyric video and the piece is stunning.
Well what a great lunch break (New Zealand lunch time) Just watched a Ghost River reaction (another reactor) then this popped up, Song of Myself is another of my Favorites reacted by a great team. Waiting for the Poet and the Pendulum reaction to get done :D Tuomas's thoughts and theoretical actions after the split with the first lead singer.. Yeah I know it will be on the list Ohh and put a note on "I want my tears back" do Live @ Buenos Aries 2018, the crowd is insanely hyped and that was over halfway through the show! :D
Once again a fantastic reaction guys. Floor is married to the drummer from the group Sabaton and has a daughter, cannot wait for her to grow up. If you want to try something a little different please try a reaction to Sabaton Bismark.
now you are ready for the other two best performances of the band: "the poet and the pendulum" from the 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from the 2015 concert in tampere - finalandia
Great reaction. If you like Marco taking the lead try The islander live at Tampere or High Hopes live from End of an Era. Yes it is a Pink Floyd cover done the Nightwish way. Also know you liked Floors Phantom of the Opera but the Original singer Tarja sings it live with Marco during the End of the Era show.
Very nice reaction, this is my absolute favorite Nightwish performance. And I promise, the Nightwish Army will not get tired of watching, their catalog is huge! You are in for a hell of a ride! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
67yrs old ex coalminer in pain from arthritis turn on Nightwish, When the music starts and the voice of Floor comes I am pain free for a few minutes Nightwish are the best Medicine ever
Both Floor and Marco have such great voices and versatility within them, the best thing about the pair of them is the way they can combine and dance their voices around one another. Proof that for Nightwish 1+1=3
Well guys, when she belts out ' a catnap in the ghost town of my heart ', it doesn't matter what state you are in , drunk, sleepy, in a coma or dead. That line wakes you up. ... lol. Hail the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal Floor and her Brothers. . Hail
Happy Birthday to Twilight1964! And thanks for his birthday present. We are fortunate to have such brilliant Nightwish fans who never seem to go wrong with their recommendations! For what it is worth my own birthday is on November 2, so I too will be writing in with a GREAT suggestion for a video! (No, it's not Nightwish however). But I like to give some background info to why I am recommending a song, so I will leave all of that until I write the letter (in my new Patreon account). Keep well !
This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs - who else than NW would go and turn a breakdown into a verse, lol. Also, before I listened to this song, I never thought that a breakdown could be hauntingly beautiful
The Islander is written and sung by Marko, but I also suggest "While your lips are still red", which I actually prefere, is less reacted to, and is also sung by Marko. Check it out!
Thanks for your awesome Nightwish reactions! I would suggest I Want my Tears Back next, you could go for Buenos Aires 2018 live for a change, Wacken is good too of course. And another one with Marco singing would be the Nightwish version of Phantom of the Opera, End of an Era tour 2005. That one is with their original singer Tarja as the female lead.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
Marco singing 'The Islander' live at Tampere is fabulous and it's a beautiful, emotional song. Reacting to the live version then the official studio / video in the same reaction is a good idea and introduces one of the previous lead singers, Annete Olzon. Although she doesn't have the lead on the song, her accompaniment is nice!
For more of Marco the bassist singing you definitely need to check out The Islander live from Tampere and their cover of Pink Floyd's High hopes. Also Romanticide and Ghost river
A lot of people suggesting The Islander for a better view of Marco, and it is a really good one, but I'd also like to suggest While Your Lips Are Still Red, live at Wembley. It's also such a gem and far less often reacted to.
Hello Mike and Ginger thank you for paying attention to Nightwish ! Marco and Floor harmonise together beautifully on several songs 🥰 but for me they do it their best in The Greatest Show On Earth ( live in Tampere ) , I hope you react to that song one day , keep up the good work !
Greetings from Finland. This song was the favorite song of Ann Waychoff, who was a huge Nightwish fan & commented all the reactions to their songs in YT. Sadly she passed away a few months ago. P.S. You reacting to Nightwish & Floor Jansen also in other contexts finally gave me enough incentive to subscribe to your channel. Hopefully we can enjoy them together in the future also.
Marco "the base player" has an excellent voice. If the song needs rasp or a harsh vocal melody, he adds it. If it needs a clean harmony to echo what Floor is doing, he does that too.. There are songs that he participates vocally much more or sings lead completely on his own. Their is a song called the Islander, he does live in Tampere...has a bit of a Celtic folk vibe.. or there is a fully rocked out metal tribute cover of Pink Floyd's song "High Hopes" that Nightwish performs in Helsinki, he sings solo on that one as well..
Yes Marko is very good singer. "The Islander" you hear more Marko. You dont have yet done soft/ballad style Nightwish song? Floor: Dead Boys Poem(buenos aires 2018 live, Anette: Meadows of Heaven(album version) and Tarja: Sleeping Sun(end of the the era 2005 live)
You should check out "Storytime" next.. Again live here at Wacken.. There is plenty of time, no need to move on to Wembley or Tampere or Buenos Aries just yet...
*You could do back-to-back double reaction(s) : Nightwish --- "Amaranth" [Official Music Video (2007)](featuring female vocalist #2 and original "Amaranth"-singer Anette Olzon from Sweden) and "Amaranth" [Official Live Video] (Wacken 2013 -- Version with Floor).....and you could also do the same with "Nemo" [Official Live Video] (from the "End of an Era"-**-Concert featuring female vocalist #1 and original "Nemo"--** singer Tarja Turunen from Finland) and "Nemo" [ Live Wacken 2013 Version with Floor]...*
About Floor's hair blowing in the wind.... You could say she has a floor fan down there, but you'd be wrong. She actually has 82,000 Floor fans down there! BWAHAHAHAHA! ;)

"Sometimes the within is piano black..." Such a great song.

Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem - Live In Buenos Aires 2018 (Perhaps best Buenos Aires song)
I am watching this concert while at lunch at work
Roughly after 5:00; she STALKS her way back to the microphone!! Female magnus. Charlemagne’s successor. Lionesses shrink back in awe.
The bass players name is marco and he is a brilliant singer. Watch his pink floyd 'high hopes' cover with nightwish. It's a blast.
Great reaction guys. If you want to check out Marko being showcased check out the Islander or High Hopes (it's an amazing Pink Floyd cover). Also I think you would enjoy his parts in Everdream from the same Wacken concert.

My Wacken favorite ❤️
Nightwish is kind of gateway drug to go for symphonic, power, melodeath, folk and progressive metal 😉
Well what a great lunch break (New Zealand lunch time) Just watched a Ghost River reaction (another reactor) then this popped up, Song of Myself is another of my Favorites reacted by a great team.
Waiting for the Poet and the Pendulum reaction to get done :D Tuomas's thoughts and theoretical actions after the split with the first lead singer.. Yeah I know it will be on the list
Ohh and put a note on "I want my tears back" do Live @ Buenos Aries 2018, the crowd is insanely hyped and that was over halfway through the show!

Floor is phenomenal
My favorite NW/Floor song. Great reaction. First verse- The Nightingale is still locked in the cage. My last name is Nightingale. :)
I bet you'd appreciate the album version ending of this song, it has some poetic reading to some very fitting music.
love all your nightwish reaction
Once again a fantastic reaction guys. Floor is married to the drummer from the group Sabaton and has a daughter, cannot wait for her to grow up. If you want to try something a little different please try a reaction to Sabaton Bismark.

Leather doesn't breathe, so my theory is that Floor ditches the pants when the sweat level gets too much.
Yes!!! "The Islander". Also, one rarely viewed, though I don't know why personally....."While Your Lips Are Still Red". :)
Great reaction. If you like Marco taking the lead try The islander live at Tampere or High Hopes live from End of an Era. Yes it is a Pink Floyd cover done the Nightwish way.

*ANN YOU WERE HERE* .
❤️ - G
You're both so cute and soothing.
Thank you 😊 - G
It's time for a bigger song to try The poet and the pendulum of The greatest show on eath.
Don't forget to find out what the song is about.
For vintage Marko do Wings of Darkness from Tarot 1986, hes so young hes got no facial hair. But you need to hear his pre surgery voice.
*You could do back-to-back double reaction(s) : Nightwish --- "Amaranth" [Official Music Video (2007)](featuring female vocalist #2 and original "Amaranth"-singer Anette Olzon from Sweden) and "Amaranth" [Official Live Video] (Wacken 2013 -- Version with Floor).....and you could also do the same with "Nemo" [Official Live Video] (from the "End of an Era"-**-Concert featuring female vocalist #1 and original "Nemo"--** singer Tarja Turunen from Finland) and "Nemo" [ Live Wacken 2013 Version with Floor]...*
Seldom does anyone tire of Nightwish.
Ghost River from the same show. Allot more Marko.
Love the Nightwish reactions.. you guys should check out Devin Townsend - Deadhead at royal albert hall
Mike could always get a couple of beard extensions, that should work too.
Try devil and the deep dark ocean live next, marko sings a lot in that one
