Troy is playing Uillean pipes. Irish bagpipes, the air comes in by pumping with the elbow, so you can drink while playing. Wanna hear more Uillean pipes:'My Walden' from Tampere, or 'Elvenjig/elvenpath' form Buenos Aires
Multi instrumentalist Troy Donockley is playing the Uilleann or ill-yen) pipes. Yes, bagpipes - the Irish version. It uses a bellows squeezed by the elbow to inflate the bag. Uilleann is the Gaelic word for elbow. This is the version with Emppu's stage prank on Floor. Near the beginning , you see him telling Troy about his plan. Later , when he crosses behind her, he unplugs her in ears. Floor stares him down when he crosses back so he can't do it again. Later, on your own, take a look at the Buenos Aires 2018 version, that S. American crowd is a show unto itself, and Floor dancing all over the stage. The song is a longing to feel emotions the way one did when they were young. The have played this on the current tour, with Troy taking over most of Marko's vocal lines. Tuomas (TOO-oh-mas).
Chris is the Man!- already spammed it other Place, you just hit the right Words in Comment 100"%%:) @Da Ol`Man : it is so heartwarming, to see how you get positives Vibes from Nightwish`s Performances, such an easy Watch and great Day Starter, thx man:) STay healthy!
I'm just mad this band was kept from us all these years. We need to seriously redo our terms on what we present to the American public, but I'm doing my part to spread the word about groups like this.
That’s a Dutch saying as a way of complimenting good singers here. “Even if he/she sings the telefoon book it will sound great” so Floor obliged to proof that this saying is correct.
Troy, the pipe player, was singing as well when he wasn't playing the pipes. At times there were three part harmonies in this song. In Nightwish Troy also plays guitar, occasionally with an E-Bow, Irish Bouzouki, and a variety of tin and low whistles (looks like a flute). The whistles were sticking out of his mic stand. He'll flip from one instrument to another in the middle of a song. With Marko gone Floor has picked up a lot of his parts, but Troy has taken on a larger vocal role as well. "My Walden" from Wembley is a great intro to Troy's abilities. He starts out singing in Welsh!
nice one ! and yes.. we listen to Floor speaking dutch, english, finnish, sweden, german..singing spanish and latein too.. I mean OF COURSE WE LISTEN TO FLOOR SINGING A PHONEBOOK ❤🔥
Floor could not only sing a telephone book but also the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin (1859) - oh wait, maybe she did (The Greatest Show on Earth)
Just love your reaction. They call this symphonic metal which it is but I always get this Celtic vibe with some of their songs. That’s all on the conto of Troy I suppose. It’s what makes them so good, they all work together and you can just see how much they are enjoying it themselves.
So, you've just met Troy and his massive pipes. It's always funny when people see him the first time: "Who t.f. is this dude and WTF is he playing? Sounds really cool though."😂 Bagpipe solos aren't very common in metal, that's for sure. The Goddess singing the phonebook is classic. We're still waiting for her to sing an IKEA assembly manual. In Swedish.
And another Great Song from NIGHTWISH. It sounds AMAZING again as always. I think TROY also deserves a compliment. 👌👏 What he plays on his INSTRUMENTS is FANTASTIC. Donockley is a MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST. 👍 He plays Uilleann pipes, Tin whistle, Guitar, Keyboards, Bass Guitar, Pump Organ, Bouzouki, Cittern, Mandola, Harmonium and many more. I Love ❤️ NIGHTWISH ♬♪💥🔥
You finally got introduced to the 6th member of Nightwish. Troy plays somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-7 instruments (that I'm aware of...possibly more) and does backing vocals. On the most recent album he has one song called Harvest where he is lead vocals.
You can't go wrong with any version of this, though my favourite is Buenos Aires. Troy is the leading exponent of the Uilleann pipes since the late great Paddy Maloney of the Chieftains died last year. The phone book video is fun and was set up my the radio station to prove the theory of so many that Floor singing the phone book would be worth hearing. The "elbow pipes" are common in post 2012-ish live shows. For a close look at them watch the 2012 Montreux Jazz Festival performance of Slow Love Slow or Last of the Wilds. Lots of it in the latter but also in many other songs (The Greatest Show for example).
Did you catch Emppu flicking Floor's in-ear monitor cable out of her wireless pack when he crossed behind her in the middle of the 2nd instrumental section, and her plugging it back in and then tucking the cable back in before Emppu gets a 2nd chance as he crosses back to stage left, when she faces him down? There are some fan-cam views with better angles, but even on this you can see Emppu telling Troy, and Tuomas looking across with a "what are those two up to" look on his face. A brilliant feel-good song though, and a good sign of how well they'd bonded in the 10 months since Floor had flown in from The Netherlands on 48 hours notice to replace Anette mid-tour in Utah. The only better version I know is in 2018 in Buenos Aires (The best VERSION), which although it is a smaller crowd, being indoors, is remarkable for the super enthusiastic audience participation. NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
As someone whose played in Irish Pub pickup jam sessions, I honestly don't know if Troy needs a mic on those Uileean pipes !! Those things are LOUD !! They dominate the frequency space over 800 Hz. (not the fundamental, but the harmonics) That's why you can hear both Troy and Emppu so well together... while they are playing notes within a half octave of each other, the overtones (aka harmonics) are so strong from the pipes that it seems to float along side the guitar's notes. Anyway, Nightwish. It's a thing.
This version is a good one - as all of Wacken 2013… 😂 But Buenos Aires is for this one a tick better mainly for the famous crowd… ‼️🏆 Best is always to have a look into the list of Gabriel - just for the best versions and links…
Troy is my fellow countryman uk🇬🇧 he appears in a lot of their stuff plays many instruments and does, much more singing now Marko has unfortunately left.
The phone book thing was a long time running joke amongst us fans " Floor could sing the phone book and it would sound amazing" I'm guessing the radio host did his research and read a few UA-cam comments to this effect, so decided to give it a go.
Troy has appeared on a lot of other band's albums and films from The Penguins of Madagascar to Status Quo and Midge Ure. Must be at least 50+ guest appearances outside of his full time bands.
When they all play the same theme - Emppu, Troy and Tuomas - fast and unison! Awesome! Did you see Emppu plotting with Troy?.... Stay tuned! Emppu unplugged Floor's in-ears! Did you see her keep her face to him after she re-plugged? Fun n games!
Troy is the guy to call if you find some strange old instrument in your grandmothers attic, he'll know what it is and probably how to play it too. Btw you should react to "How's the heart" and "Nemo" acoustic from the planet rock session, he and Floor did a phenomenal job with that.
You and that kitty looked pretty gobsmacked! 😂 There is a youtube video for everything, including the pronunciation of names of members of Nightwish: ua-cam.com/video/DpapnmXoIZk/v-deo.html Also, there are really good interviews with Tuomas Holopainen. This one by FaceCulture covers many aspects of Nightwish and their history: part 1 ua-cam.com/video/v65-ErfUyVM/v-deo.html and part 2 ua-cam.com/video/siyBaTTaJUI/v-deo.html You are correct that Tuomas is a very intriguing composer and musician. I love to listen to his interviews. (Sometimes reactors to Nightwish's music totally fail to understand the relevance of Tuomas, and I must admit I do not consider them to be real Nightwish fans.)
Great Reaction! If you want to see more of Troy's skills as a musician try the song Hows The Heart. Troy and Floor went to the Planet Rock Studio and did an acoustic version of the song and Troy's skill on the acoustic guitar is amazing and you get to hear Floors voice with just an acoustic and she sounds unbelievable! Search "Nightwish Hows the Heart Acoustic (Planet Rock Acoustic Session)"
I guess this might be your first introduction to Troy Donockely the multi instrumentalist from England. He had guested on Nighwish albums before Floor joined the tour in late 2012 but became the sixth full member at the same time as Floor in June 2013 although only announced in October 2013. He plays the Uilleann (elbow) pipes here. Pumped by bellows under right arm and bag squeezed by left arm and wire is probably a mike. On other songs at various performances you will see him play whistles, guitars and bouzouki, with and without an E-bow and he sings backing as he did in this song.
It was a running joke that Floor could sing the phone book and make it sound good, and hell did she ever! 😁 Now go watch this in Buenos Aires and see the difference in energy levels. Floor was still fairly new on this one 😁 Just came across this and thought you might like it, she is just on a whole other level!
Sound engineer nerd here 🙋🏻♂️ please check out the balance between your mic and the music video volume 😉 Great reaction as usual man! I personally prefer the Buenos Aires version for this song cause of the crowd energy. Never seen something similar. Greetings from Greece 🤘🔥
HNY ! Wacken is for many songs the ultimate version. However this song is not IMHO. Give yourself a treat and take the famous Buenos Aires 2018 one. If you want to see Floor singing a part of a Dutch phonebook m.ua-cam.com/video/CLUr1DLwEQg/v-deo.html you will be amazed, crazy good with no rehearsal whatsoever 🤘🎸🤘
I guess you never saw 'Riverdance'.. this link is for your own enjoyment, a master of the Uillean pipes ..Davy Spillane ua-cam.com/video/Mwxga8udIio/v-deo.html
@@daolman8226 He plays unusual Instruments... in this Clip the "Irish" Bagpipe (is more difficult to play) and i think in your next Clip he plays the "Mandoline" or a "E- Bow"... 😏🤟🏻
These Finnish names can be tricky. I came across a video with the right pronunciation for each Nightwish member except the newest one. ua-cam.com/video/DpapnmXoIZk/v-deo.html
Here's one, Have you heard Floor and her sister sing? Back in Floor's After forever days here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/GkiF1UddMMw/v-deo.html Thank you.
If it helps, I'd never heard of uilleann pipes before discovering Nightwish either, so I guess that makes me a dumbass Brit! Troy had been playing occasional songs with NW for years, but was not an official member until shortly after this concert - he and Floor were confirmed as full members at the same time. Definitely check out My Walden live at Wembley, and if you're OK with lyric videos try Harvest (where he sings the lead).
Please check out sometimes their latest album Human and Nature. Often many reactors don't reach to enjoy their latest magnificent music. Maybe a mixed list tro their years

The famous stringed version of the Uilleann pipes that sound like a violin!

Troy has also said that those pipes are very difficult to play, and to even attempt it one must be partially insane.
Ok well, that makes him even more bad ass lol! Cause he can make that thing sing wheeeeww!!

This song always brings a smile to my face. While Wacken 2013 is my favorite concert overall for this particular song I prefer Buenos Aires concert.
