    I'm 76 years old, and have been a Pink Floyd fan as long as I can remember. This tribute to my favorite band, from my new favorite band, is unbelievable. Found Nightwish 3-1/2 years ago, and still can't get enough, six of the most talented musicians on the planet. If the old ticker holds out, wife and I will see them in New York Oct 2021....

    Regarding Emppu not showing off: in an interview he said that as you grow as a person and a musician you realise it's not about showing but about the music and the people listening to it. You stop play to show off your guitar chops and play more to serve the song and the audience. I listen to a lot of prog and tech metal and I'm 100% behind him. Dude plays with real feeling.
    Regarding The Division Bell: the name is a reference to the bells rung by the UK Houses of Parliament to signify a "division" is occurring during debate (essentially the issue being debated is not unanimously agreed upon and a vote is taking place). The Members of Parliament then have 8 minutes to get to their respective lobbies, one for a positive vote on the matter and one for a negative.

Humble, soulful (and very funny & likable) person, who really can make his guitar sing with the feeling. And it´s never about his persona & talents, it´s always the complete experience with the band.

    I am in the same boat as you Tank. I never thought that I would love a cover more than the Pink Floyd original, but this version has more angst and is darker, which fits my taste better, while the original is more melancholic. I still love the original, but I now prefer Nightwish's version.

      It's kinda like the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence, which Paul Simon himself complimented as the version he would've loved to sing. Some songs are just so good that they are great for the style of their time, but also even more perfect for another.

    • @jaynagerber7474
      @jaynagerber7474 2 роки тому +1

      It also depends upon the song; the two you mentioned were both essentially bare-bones, minimalist songs (studio versions, at least - this one has had more added in Pink Floyd concerts), so it's at least somewhat easier for a great band to add depth and flesh the song out without negatively altering any part of the original.
      Of course, great bands will always find ways to present a cover (or tribute😉) of a song and make it at least a fraction better than the original.

    I believe Tuomas once said in an interview that Nightwish Is about the music. I think that’s why he always looks like he’s so into what he’s playing. They all so love what they do & it shows when they play. They love each other, they love their fans & that shows onstage & the fans can see & feel this & I believe that’s why Nightwish has lasted all these years. I’ve only known of them for a little over a year now & I think with all of the reaction channels out there right now, the Nightwish army is growing by leaps & bounds because of all the requests to play their music! That is so awesome! Everyone needs to hear this amazing band! Thanks for your reaction Tank!

      APC's version of Imagine is so much more poignant than the Lennon version, in my opinion, because it makes you wonder about the fulfillment of wishes, and whether you actually want what you thought you were asking for.
      Lennon was a masterful songwriter, no doubt, but as the world has changed, so has perspective. I think Maynard really took the different perspective to heart and created something both dark and beautiful from that.

    I've said the same thing about so many Nightwish songs, but this one is one of my biggest favorites, even if it's a cover.

  • @Dregon84
    @Dregon84 3 роки тому +6

    One of the reasons why I think Nightwish works so well is because there are no egos in the band. They're all there to do their job and have no need to showcase how awesome they are. They know they're good, and they all have their moments throughout the albums and live performances. Emppu especially is a person who is there to do his job and take care of the others. You may have seen it in some of the videos already, but for example in Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013 you see brief glimpses of him walking around the stage and checking up on everyone, placing his hands on their shoulder and saying something. He does that at least on some Wembley songs as well, can't remember which ones though.
    EDIT: Oh and I agree about Marco being the best singer :D When Tarja was forced to leave, I was actually hoping they wouldn't replace her and would just let Marco sing. He's a Finnish heavy metal icon, one of the people who essentially started metal in Finland back in the days. Check out his band Tarot at some point. He started it with his brother Sakari in -82 and the band is still officially active although the current status is sketchy at best due to them losing their drummer in 2016.

    Great reaction to a great tribute song, Tank. I'm reminded that Tarja was let go from the group right after the show and maybe the emotion of the moment carried into their performance. Tarja was in the midst of a wardrobe change during High Hopes so the rest of the guys were playing without her and I can't help but think they had that absence in mind. Marko slays it every time and he put his brand on this version without a doubt.

    Marco Hietala is a very underrated vocalist. He has a great baritone voice that reaches tenor notes too. He goes easily from clean vocals to a great vibratto and growls without loosing the tone which isn't easy at all. In his other projects such as the "Four Kings" with the other 3 powerhouse vocalists of his country or his solo works in Taro, you'll have a better idea how great singer Marco is.

    Massive respect for holding off on Poet/Pendulum. A few more dives into Tuomas' psyche first are a great idea.
    I think their performance of this served many purposes. It gave a sense of their feeling (original was based on a band split, their tribute forewarned a band split?), it offered Tarja the traditional outfit change and breather, but also I think the band was faced with the idea of being without a female lead for a duration. Marco clearly has chops, but that had to be proven to NW fans back then. There are demos of several songs with Marco as vocalist floating in YT and elsewhere on the internet which back up that idea.

  • @parrotheadlasvegas

    This seems extra sad for me because it’s like they’re looking back at the high hopes they had in the beginning and knowing they were firing Tarja. Awesome, but awesomely sad. At least they didn’t perform Sorrow instead!
    As for the singers, they’re all great for their time with the band. Floor is my favorite because I just like her style best. I also love how grounded and down to earth she is 😎
    Suggestions for next week: Last Ride of the Day (Waken), Slaying the Dreamer (Buenos Aires), or Sleeping Sun (Tampere with Floor)
    But you could also do a Marko reaction between now and then! I love the live video for Death March for Freedom, but the official video for Stones is pretty awesome, too 😎 FYI Marko said that he considers the style of the album Pyre of the Black Heart to be “hard prog” and I swear I hear Pink Floyd influences in a bunch of places on it 😉
    Have a kick ass day and keep rockin’ 🤘😎

      That's exactly it, in my opinion. Deliberately so. Artists often put their own lives and feelings into the art they create. In my opinion., the entire setlist for this show was carefully selected by the guys, because they knew they were firing Tarja and it would be the last show they played with her.

    Agreed, Marco is the greatest vocalist. Occasionally he acted as a session member with the band Delain. During a 2015 Nightwish tour, Delain acted as a support, with Marco offering co-lead vocals on a couple of songs. What made this so memorable ... as long as memory isn't bonkers. Is that he came out wearing a snorkel, swim trunks, and flippers.

    I myself re-discovered them last year during a long period of being in hospital, surgery and recovery.......After facing death two times in five months I realized we are so scared of dying that we forget to live. To me "The Greatest Show On Earth" is the embodiment of this realization. For you as fan of pyrotechnics and stuff you must do the live@Tampere version of this song. You won't be disappointed!

    I had a similar story about the band, I knew the name from way before actually listening to them, and i didn't really do it until last year not because of the Evanesence comparison but just because of being lazy in general. But i remember always being curious about the band due to the "symphonic metal" label, the rotating female singers from different european countries, the name itself...
    People in my work reminded me of their existence and last year they even released the Decades DVD recorded in my hometown, after watching that show I was hooked instantly. And they were even better than what I expected honestly.
    For next song you can go anywhere really, but one that i particularly love is "7 Days to the Wolves" live in Wembley.

    Another fun fact: The Division Bell is my favourite Pink Floyd album. High Hopes isn't one of my faves on the album. Take it Back and Poles Apart are my two favourites.

    All aboard the Marko train. He is Nightwish's best singer. You probably need to see Over The Hills & Far Away or The Siren from the End Of An Era concert next.
    I know I've been pushing you to see Galneryus here, on the Discord, & on Patreon... However you need to see Sabaton's En Livstid I Krig (Swedish version of Lifetime Of War) live in Gothenburg. As a former soldier, that song hits hard in the heart. Hell, listen to both the Swedish & English versions. They are two different stories of the Thirty Years War, the English version being a historical view from a neutral observer, but the Swedish version is from the viewpoint of a Swedish soldier heading off into war. The live version of this song in Gothenburg is incredible & is a must see. It does not have English subtitles, but you can auto translate the Russian subtitles. It's not an accurate Swedish to English translation but it conveys the same message with some Russian embellishments. The only problem with it is that after listening to the Swedish version, you'll probably won't listen to the English version ever again.

    Me again, I think what makes Marko's vocals even more impressive, not sure if anyone's mentioned it on any other video, is that he had throat surgery for polyps which went wrong early in his career (back in 1996) and basically lost part of his register and had to develop his voice all over again.

    I can only echo the sentiment of others and say "While Your Lips Are Still Red" from the Wembley show, honestly, that entire concert is mind-blowing. I think I've already suggested it somewhere but "Ave Maria" duet with either Tarja or Floor because yes, this is a thing. And it's a thing of beauty.
    Nightwish Wednesdays aside, I'd really suggest giving a listen to Marko's solo project - "The Voice Of My Father" (English or Finnish version because yes, our man is an overachiever and made the same album in both languages) and "Stones" are definite standouts a nd so is "Death March for Freedom". Also "The Gathering" with Delain, and literally anything Northern Kings have ever released. Anything.
    (Though their take on "Don't Stop Believin'" almost made me like this song again after Glee so it's a personal favorite...)
