Well, he wasn't just her husband. He literally became her manager, and he was just hell to work with, and his influence on Tarja wasn't helping things either.
I have always wondered about the fact he calls him Mammon in the song. One hand it's the name of a demon prince (or some high ranking one) On the other, it's close to the spanish word "mamón" which means something like: idiot. Seeing as Tarja's husband is Argentinian it could be a bit of a double jab
Mammon is also referring to money. You can't serve God and Mammon at the same time refers to monks and nuns giving their vows of poverty to not have earthly possessions distracting them from serving God. So I would assume this is what Toumas is referring to despite him not being religious. The guy (Tarja's husband) always trying to get more money from the pie instead of serving the art is serving money before art (Mammon over God)
Argentinean here. We don´t use the word mamón, other spanish speakers use it. That being said, it wouldnt be too far fetched to think that Thuomas doesn´t know a lot about argentinean mannerisms and specific slang and just thought that it makes sense for us.
'Mammon' is actually wealth or richness, that was achieved by unrightful, illegal and/or immoral means and/or was used in the before mentioned manner. Thanks to the mentioning in the Bible ('You can't serve both masters, God and Mammon, at the same time) 'Mammon' became the demonized personification of unrightful wealth and immoral use of money. Nowadays, Mammon is just a negative synonym of money in general, but again in a negative way.
About the Marko replacement thing: let's not forget Marko was the second bassist they had and technically the 3rd backup singer, since Tuomas used to sing. Thank god he stopped and stuck to keyboard hahahaha
That they were, Terrible. But how much fun was it to see those early day video's where even that Fat boy sang with Tarja. It was tgat Pharaoh's song back when time was invented. If memory serves correctly.
I do not think of Marko as the third backup singer. As I vaguely remember their first album Angels Fall First, Tuomas did some backing vocals that sounded flat to me, and he never did them again. Remember, they were a young band with no money. Tapio was never a backup singer. He was a primary vocalist on "The Devil ...." and "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion". Hiring Marko was one of the best decisions the band ever made. Marko is a trained guitarist/singer who also played bass. Sometimes he did backing vocals, sometimes he was the primary vocalist, and sometimes he was the equal in a duet.
This album was a masterpiece. Definitely in my top ten albums of any genre. To be completely honest, I think I enjoy the instrumental version of the album (or however they released the edition with the entire album as a second set of tracks with the vocal layers removed, iTunes represents those tracks as a second volume) more than the standard version of the album. With the vocals removed I appreciate the writing even more because every track is so stunningly well written from the ground up and can stand on its own without the need to have lyrics to give meaning or beauty.
Now, THAT is a diss track! Glad you loved it. Marko has said he's feeling better, I hope he might do a few guest appearances, with Jukkis, "Double Bass"! Imagine those two duelling with bass AND voice! Ooooooh, come on Tuomas 🤩
The other thing about Marcelo (and this song is so about him), was he was Tarja's manager at the time (pretty sure he still is). There's a scene in the End of an Era DVD that for me, shows the split between Tarja and the band. They are doing an interview or talking in the scene, you've got them sitting in a semi-circle. Tuomas, Marco, Emppu and Marco are sitting on one side of the semi-circle, then there's Marcelo and then Tarja. It felt like the band had to go through Marcelo to get to Tarja.
By the way there is one thing I wanted to drop for a while: Thank You! You thank us people for introducing you to new music, but we deeply need to thank you and Chase and all the others for sharing your thoughts about our favorite music and learn new aspects about it we did not knoe before or have not thought about it. Especially during this pandemic where many are in isolation this reactions got a place to connect people that never did and likely will never meet in person to enjoy music together. This for sure gave lot of people quite some good hours in this difficult situation where positive distractions got rare. Thank you!
Nightwish's heaviest song. What i can;t get my head around is the same band, the same musicians that are capable of this are the same ones who write Sleeping Sun, Meadows of Heaven... there has never been a band that can do such a range of music so well. ever.
I love how freaking Eva is the next track after this on the album. The contrast is almost comical yet... profoundly peaceful and cathartic at the same time.
Anger, is one one of our emotions, & these guys had more time with Tarja than him. I can understand why a fifth wheel could tear everything up, with his only concern is his inserts with her. Doesn’t nullify the other side, a spiritual group for sure.
Did anyone actually read the post from Nightwish? They stated they were going to go with a session musician. That does not seem to me that they are replacing him, but instead are giving him the time he needs to heal. At least that was how I read it. 🤘🤘🤘
I read it as not committing to a replacement already. Then again that was the same way they did with Floor, she wasn't named as a replacement until after like 10 months with the band. But yes lets hope!
Same here. His problems are apparently with the music industry, absolutely not with the band. Joining another band would only make this worse, unless that band is like Iron Maiden or similar. I totally agree with you that they are giving him time to heal.
My biggest question is are they going to find a bassist who can also sing well, hire a secondary vocalist too, or put marco's vocal parts in the backing tracks?
All within me gone but "pain" and "hope". "Hoping" that the "pain" would fade away. Can we just stop and appreciate the poetry and the dark beauty of these verses. Thank you for this reaction man. Please do a Last of The Wilds Next. Please please. Please!!
Yup. Marcogasms are a thing. And you get it double sided - bass and vocals :D - always loved this song, and reminds me so much of Tarot (check em if you ain't!!)
Best of luck Tank, I hope the birth is smooth and the two of you take time for yourselves. Enjoy your new addition and addiction! You need every one, nothing compares, congratulations on your first!
I think this is closer to thrash than death metal. Symphonic Thrash Metal. That melodic middle part was very Bodom like though. Marko's agressive vocals are majestic. In short, very headbangable.
Lots of headbanging from Tank is coming!!)) 🤘🤘If you want to see a little bit about what was going on inside the band a couple of months before End of an Era check out "A Day Before Tomorrow" documentary
Yeah dude, this song does the exact same to me 🤘 Oh, and as a bass player of some 40 years i completely agree with your comments regarding playing with a pick - I predominantly use one for Metal, it just sounds punchy and precise 🤘
When you consider Master Passion Greed, Slow Love Slow and Harvest, it's really hard to say which genre Nightwish belongs to, if you had to select just one. Some say that Nightwish is a genre in itself.
This song is so underrated. A fantastic heavy. layered instrumental - probably one of my faves. Marco really shines on this one. I haven't listened to this in a while - thanks Tank now I'm gonna go listen to this on loop. Who am I kidding I'm just gonna have Dark Passion Play on repeat.
I hope you're not going to wait too long before listening to Bye Bye Beautiful now, because to me these two songs are most definitely linked. They haven't performed it live either, but it does has a fun music video.
They did it live the entire Dar Paaion Play tour - it was a hit the same way Wish I had an Angel was for Once... But there is no official live video from that time
The outro is awesome reminds me of James Bond for some reason. The song is heavy. The whole album is near and dear to me as it was my introduction to nightwish. Keep up the greatness.
WOW! Is right🔥🤘🔥😠😈 the orchestra att the end is so bombastic and makes it all the more heavy. And Marko, there isn't much more to say than WOW! 🔥🤘🔥 Another song with a very intense ending is Dead Gardens.
this song come finish radio station radio rock almost everyday. this song truly kick ass,even i dont like the message behind this song. but in song and thinking to much message, i think this is one of the best nightwish song. thanx to great reaction tank and have great day there. oooh and congratulation new mini tank there soon :)
With the impending switch at bass, would love to hear your take on NW's original bass player - he'd be featured on any pre-2001 performance, including From Wishes to Eternity live record. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on style differences, if any.
As long as you achieve the sound you want you can play your instrument the way you like it. I never get this you have to do it so and so mentality - no not when it's about art. Art is about expressing yourself & if you're good leaving a question/smile/memory/emotion in the mind of the one who is seeing/hearing/feeling it. This was fun to watch - it really felt like a hang out with the chat & all (: Thanks Tank (: Greetings from Berlin
Headbanging right along with you on this one. The orchestra really kills on this one, especially the brass at the end. There is another song that is heavy and angry (nothing like this of course) but still packs a punch. I suggested it on Chase Carneson's channel too, it's "Slaying the Dreamer" from their Century Child Album...it's a Tarja song, so might be a cool double reaction.
Tank I love Your live stuff (streams, reactions and Sunday Morning Coffee). You are so natural, no stress etc (I jealous about this). I truly like this new content. Have a nice day. 🙂
I'm glad you reacted to this so you can listen to it anytime you want, amazing song from them, I would love to hear them pull out another song this heavy on a new album some day.
This song alongside While your lips are still red are my favorite Marko songs that are rarely reactioned too 😅, so thank you and Chase for doing it (actually Chase also did While your lips are still red so...*hint,hint). PS: Muse has been my favorite band growing up so I'm sooo excited to see a reaction to them too 😁! Some song recommendations for them would be (if you're not familiar with them yet): Stockholm Syndrome, Hysteria, New Born, Bliss, The Handler
Ok Tank. Deftones, Fear Factory remind me a lot 20y ago. Along with some other bands!! What a pleasure to hear about them again. So I'm gonna have a bit of memories back now, thanks to you!! And also, I recently found a band (soft rock, pop variety, easy stuff for beginners/guys/dads who want to waste time far from home!!). I switched from guitars to basses. Hell you're right about picks. But how hard a RHCP with pick!! Keep on make me headbang, no restrain like yours yesterday 😅 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
A good Anette song by NW is Meadows of Heaven. One of the best slow song by them, My favorite is While your lips are Red. But strong 2nd or 3rd slow one.
Great reaction, man! I can't wait for more of these Nightwish studio songs, since there are plenty that they've never played live or played in a long time. Getting a little bit into the husband/firing topic, I'd say that if what the band says is true, I wouldn't be surprised knowing how Argentinians are. Before someone judges me, I'm from Argentina too and I know we aren't all like that, but I can totally see the rumors being true. Also, there's an old video (recorded in 2007) of Marko recording those vocal lines. It's about 4 minutes long and totally worth watching. You can find it as '''Nightwish - recording in E-major studios 2007''
One thing I love when watching reactors such as yourself, is that I start to focus more on the music and the lyrics. Normally I have music playing on the background all the time and it kind of fills the void when I'm doing something else. I hear the music but I'm not actually listening to it. Watching these videos forces me to focus more on the music itself. As a request, could you do a reaction to a song either from Angels Falls First, or the Oceanborn? Maybe something from their very first live DVD with Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica, or Tapio Wilska from Finntroll singing?
The Bernie Meme at the beginning LOL! 😂😂 But for real, Marko is such a BAD ASS in this song, one of my favorites. ❤️ Edited to add: I forgot how much I love this song... it’s so heavy and powerful and the orchestra is freaking killing it, thanks for bringing it back to me.
Dude .... Enjoyed this one, thank you." Bye Bye Beautiful " takes NO PRISONERS ! When you see the lyrics, not any doubt what it's about. My guess is the " Red Barron " will be flying in tomorrow. Side note..... About 20 years ago met two guys while shooting craps about 3 AM in LV. After craps we had a drink , I asked what they did. Told me they played a concert earlier. Yep...Two of your Nickelback guys. said they were cousins and from Canada. I had no clue !
It is also a strong hint that Anette isn't in this song - because she had nothing to do with the subject matter. Same goes for some parts in Bye Bye Beautiful...
When random people are angry we get pathetic temper tantrums, uninteresting onesided stories or stormed capitals. When Nightwish is furious, we get 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
It is just another page in the evolution of the band I’m sad marko is gone ..... for now but who knows what the future holds but thank you for the nightwish sessions you did n still do a great channel....
Hey Tank! I came for the Nightwish and continue to come back for it but I am eager to hear you talk about the stage production and set up from the Rammstein Paris concert. Du Hast seems like the best place to start. I have checked through your videos and can't find it, but please direct me to it if I am wrong!
Looks like you'll need to reintroduce Nightwish-specific days if you want to release reactions to all Human Natura CD 1 songs before the March concerts, just saying :D Can't wait for tomorrow :)
You should react to While Your Lips Are Still Red by Nightwish live at Wembley. It has Marco at the forefront of everything and Troy is on electric guitar. Empuu is probably in the back chillin haha.
Sigh... Opens a beer and be silent a while! This was so fcking angry and heavy piece of song! 14 years and still I get goosebumbs like when I heard it first time back then!
Think if they played this in live when this was in more recent event, what would've everyone's faces looked like while playing this? I'm sure there would've been. Broken basses, Jukka jumping on his Drumms at the end. Emppu hitting his EV1 to The "one who should not be name's head". Lol, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE!
And we will never get to see it live.... And where is my Alestorm Friday? :P If you would have gone into this blind! Would you have guessed it is a NW song till you heard Marko?
An "ode" to Marcello, Tarja's husband. The greed he had, destroyed their band. Forbidding Tarja to perform in the States, because the small venues were not bringing in enough money (small audience in the USA) not letting her travel with the guys, but needing her own tourbus, not letting her rehearse the songs with the band. He is some evil, greedy and insecure dude and you feel the anger and hate they feel towards him. This message is SO powerful, it must have been not a joke having a song like this deticated to you. I just love how they express their feelings in their music. True feelings from admiration, love to despite and hate. Bye bye beautiful is a message to Tarja herself, also angry...but not this hateful. When you listened to these songs, you understand the Poet and the pendulum even more. (you in general) Thank you
That bass in the beginning... i LOVE the tone and punch of that bass!! While on the subject of bass playing.. you should check out Niko Whitworth, former bass player of Unleash The Archers, his bass playthrough of Cleansing the Bloodlines really shows his skills. he is INSANE! and he uses a pretty unique technique.
From the official biography of Nightwish, it's clear that Tarja's husband/manager, Marcelo, was such a pain in the ass for the band's business that I think they were getting rid of Marcelo in the first place, and Tarja's firing was just a necessary part of that.
So true about the choice of finger/pick on bass. Watch MISA on Band Maid videos and live and while she is playing primarily with a pick, pretty much every song, somewhere she'll palm that pick like Harry Houdini and play slap or some songs just with fingers. For me it's as much about preference as it is the song. David Ellefson of Megadeth, uses a Pick. Marko. Jason Newsted. Many many more. The you have Steve Harris (Iron Maiden), Miho from Lovebites, Rob Trujillo, Cliff Burton who destroy on the bass with fingers. For myself I prefer to play with fingers, but after having my dominant wrist rebuilt, I had to switch to a pick for endurance and pain management.
Yes you absolutly do slaying the dreamer the start riff Is absolutly beautiful and heavy🤟🤟, And personally i prefer end of an era version, but Buenos Aires Is awesome too, I already smell a double reaction 😂😂 PS you must absolutly heard "i speak astronomy" by jinjer all song for headbang 😂😂 bass tone insane
Shoemaker, tribal, pan... Those are songs from the NEW Nightwish album. I think It would be cool if you'd react to The new album from the beggining to the end. And the second disc you listen as one peace.

It's probably more than anger in that song. It feels almost like fury.
If Poet and the Pendulum was musical suicide, this song is a musical murder. Or at least punching certain someone in the face. Twice.
Truly. Marko’s scream near the end wasn’t the typical “metal scream,” it was a scream of fury at someone.
@@soon_to_emerge with a chair
Well, he wasn't just her husband. He literally became her manager, and he was just hell to work with, and his influence on Tarja wasn't helping things either.
What is this I'm hearing? Why is there sound on this live stream?! I came here for silent headbanging!
Hahahahahahahaha
You will hear that Tank the "No Audio"Tech joke the rest of your life, Just like that silent Headbanging
I have always wondered about the fact he calls him Mammon in the song.
One hand it's the name of a demon prince (or some high ranking one)
On the other, it's close to the spanish word "mamón" which means something like: idiot. Seeing as Tarja's husband is Argentinian it could be a bit of a double jab
Good shout. I don't think you're far off with either of those assumptions.
Mammon is also referring to money. You can't serve God and Mammon at the same time refers to monks and nuns giving their vows of poverty to not have earthly possessions distracting them from serving God.

Yeah his vocals was terrible 😂
Come on he was not terrible. Not comparable to other folk, but still not too bad.
Tuomas sings backing on the AURI album. He has a perfectly pleasant singing voice, but he's no lead singer, as he'd be the first to admit.
That they were, Terrible. But how much fun was it to see those early day video's where even that Fat boy sang with Tarja. It was tgat Pharaoh's song back when time was invented. If memory serves correctly.

Sometimes he did backing vocals, sometimes he was the primary vocalist, and sometimes he was the equal in a duet.
You almost can see the different phases Tuomas went through writing Poet and the Pendulum, By by Beautiful and this one... what an album...
This album was a masterpiece. Definitely in my top ten albums of any genre. To be completely honest, I think I enjoy the instrumental version of the album (or however they released the edition with the entire album as a second set of tracks with the vocal layers removed, iTunes represents those tracks as a second volume) more than the standard version of the album.

The orchestra in this album is absolutely another level
Now, THAT is a diss track!
Glad you loved it.
Marko has said he's feeling better, I hope he might do a few guest appearances, with Jukkis, "Double Bass"!
Imagine those two duelling with bass AND voice! Ooooooh, come on Tuomas 🤩
My favourite line "Hello, how are you?"
The other thing about Marcelo (and this song is so about him), was he was Tarja's manager at the time (pretty sure he still is). There's a scene in the End of an Era DVD that for me, shows the split between Tarja and the band. They are doing an interview or talking in the scene, you've got them sitting in a semi-circle.

End of an era sounds better in my opinion.
@@martine7456 I think he's looking for the easter egg, if i'm not mistaken
Nightwish's heaviest song. What i can;t get my head around is the same band, the same musicians that are capable of this are the same ones who write Sleeping Sun, Meadows of Heaven... there has never been a band that can do such a range of music so well. ever.
I love how freaking Eva is the next track after this on the album. The contrast is almost comical yet... profoundly peaceful and cathartic at the same time.
Their range is incredible indeed, but they're definitely not the only ones. First band that comes to mind is Opeth, and they are the masters of it.

This song alongside While your lips are still red are my favorite Marko songs that are rarely reactioned too 😅, so thank you and Chase for doing it (actually Chase also did While your lips are still red so...*hint,hint). PS: Muse has been my favorite band growing up so I'm sooo excited to see a reaction to them too 😁! Some song recommendations for them would be (if you're not familiar with them yet): Stockholm Syndrome, Hysteria, New Born, Bliss, The Handler
Ok Tank. Deftones, Fear Factory remind me a lot 20y ago.
Along with some other bands!!
What a pleasure to hear about them again. So I'm gonna have a bit of memories back now, thanks to you!!
And also, I recently found a band (soft rock, pop variety, easy stuff for beginners/guys/dads who want to waste time far from home!!).
I switched from guitars to basses.
Hell you're right about picks.
But how hard a RHCP with pick!!
Keep on make me headbang, no restrain like yours yesterday 😅
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
A good Anette song by NW is Meadows of Heaven. One of the best slow song by them, My favorite is While your lips are Red. But strong 2nd or 3rd slow one.
Looking at your jersey I can´t help to say: let's go Blackhawks!!
Nightwish can bring every kind of emotion, inclusive anger.
Great video by the way.
💪💪💪
Too bad I missed the livestream. Very thrashy sounding and dark. Love it!
Great reaction, man! I can't wait for more of these Nightwish studio songs, since there are plenty that they've never played live or played in a long time.
Getting a little bit into the husband/firing topic, I'd say that if what the band says is true, I wouldn't be surprised knowing how Argentinians are. Before someone judges me, I'm from Argentina too and I know we aren't all like that, but I can totally see the rumors being true.
Also, there's an old video (recorded in 2007) of Marko recording those vocal lines. It's about 4 minutes long and totally worth watching. You can find it as '''Nightwish - recording in E-major studios 2007''
One thing I love when watching reactors such as yourself, is that I start to focus more on the music and the lyrics. Normally I have music playing on the background all the time and it kind of fills the void when I'm doing something else. I hear the music but I'm not actually listening to it. Watching these videos forces me to focus more on the music itself. As a request, could you do a reaction to a song either from Angels Falls First, or the Oceanborn? Maybe something from their very first live DVD with Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica, or Tapio Wilska from Finntroll singing?
That was awesome! I have never heard that before.
The Bernie Meme at the beginning LOL! 😂😂
But for real, Marko is such a BAD ASS in this song, one of my favorites. ❤️
Edited to add: I forgot how much I love this song... it’s so heavy and powerful and the orchestra is freaking killing it, thanks for bringing it back to me.
And Northern Kings - Finnish Heavy Metal Medley (Live 18.10.2017)
My favourite line is "Seek her, seduce her, tame her", which is Tuomas writing about Marcelo's pursuit of Tarja
I'm so glad you did this masterpiece! What a song!
This song is an example of how the finest and most awesome are done in the power of extreme emotion.
Shoutout to the Miracle of Sound song in the background at 19:00 to 21:35!
Dude .... Enjoyed this one, thank you." Bye Bye Beautiful " takes NO PRISONERS ! When you see the lyrics, not any doubt what it's about. My guess is the " Red Barron " will be flying in tomorrow. Side note..... About 20 years ago met two guys while shooting craps about 3 AM in LV. After craps we had a drink , I asked what they did. Told me they played a concert earlier. Yep...Two of your Nickelback guys. said they were cousins and from Canada. I had no clue !
It is also a strong hint that Anette isn't in this song - because she had nothing to do with the subject matter.
Same goes for some parts in Bye Bye Beautiful...
Nobody who said you should only play bass with fingerpick, did it near Lemmy Kilminster.
I think the boys made their point, eh? LOVE the James Bond soundtrack like horns at the end... too good.
When random people are angry we get pathetic temper tantrums, uninteresting onesided stories or stormed capitals.
When Nightwish is furious, we get 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Their live cover of Symphony of Destruction is there to be found on UA-cam.......
I wonder. If Tank had a beer for every time he got asked if he knew about Marco leaving Nightwish, when would he sober up?
All along I thought it was "hurt her kill her" and I have the lyrics in the CD sleeve
Nice job Tank!
It is just another page in the evolution of the band I’m sad marko is gone ..... for now but who knows what the future holds but thank you for the nightwish sessions you did n still do a great channel....
Would LOVE to see a reaction to the video suggested in the top right of your screen when the song was over, Paradise by Within Temptation ft Tarja!
Thanks for this 👌
There best song 💯👍👌
Hey Tank! I came for the Nightwish and continue to come back for it but I am eager to hear you talk about the stage production and set up from the Rammstein Paris concert. Du Hast seems like the best place to start. I have checked through your videos and can't find it, but please direct me to it if I am wrong!
Then also react to Cradle of Filth - Her ghost in the fog - from - Midean
Looks like you'll need to reintroduce Nightwish-specific days if you want to release reactions to all Human Natura CD 1 songs before the March concerts, just saying :D
Can't wait for tomorrow :)
You should react to While Your Lips Are Still Red by Nightwish live at Wembley. It has Marco at the forefront of everything and Troy is on electric guitar. Empuu is probably in the back chillin haha.
Sigh... Opens a beer and be silent a while! This was so fcking angry and heavy piece of song! 14 years and still I get goosebumbs like when I heard it first time back then!
You should check NW song called Walking in the Air.
Think if they played this in live when this was in more recent event, what would've everyone's faces looked like while playing this? I'm sure there would've been. Broken basses, Jukka jumping on his Drumms at the end. Emppu hitting his EV1 to The "one who should not be name's head". Lol, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE!
Love the Bernie meme at the beginning. Would love to see you react to The Crow, The Owl and the Dove.
And we will never get to see it live.... And where is my Alestorm Friday? :P
If you would have gone into this blind! Would you have guessed it is a NW song till you heard Marko?
An "ode" to Marcello, Tarja's husband. The greed he had, destroyed their band. Forbidding Tarja to perform in the States, because the small venues were not bringing in enough money (small audience in the USA) not letting her travel with the guys, but needing her own tourbus, not letting her rehearse the songs with the band. He is some evil, greedy and insecure dude and you feel the anger and hate they feel towards him. This message is SO powerful, it must have been not a joke having a song like this deticated to you. I just love how they express their feelings in their music. True feelings from admiration, love to despite and hate. Bye bye beautiful is a message to Tarja herself, also angry...but not this hateful. When you listened to these songs, you understand the Poet and the pendulum even more. (you in general) Thank you
That bass in the beginning... i LOVE the tone and punch of that bass!!
While on the subject of bass playing.. you should check out Niko Whitworth, former bass player of Unleash The Archers, his bass playthrough of Cleansing the Bloodlines really shows his skills. he is INSANE! and he uses a pretty unique technique.
Knew that hat wasn't gonna stay on for long 🤘🤘
From the official biography of Nightwish, it's clear that Tarja's husband/manager, Marcelo, was such a pain in the ass for the band's business that I think they were getting rid of Marcelo in the first place, and Tarja's firing was just a necessary part of that.
*That's for sure.*
So true about the choice of finger/pick on bass. Watch MISA on Band Maid videos and live and while she is playing primarily with a pick, pretty much every song, somewhere she'll palm that pick like Harry Houdini and play slap or some songs just with fingers.
For me it's as much about preference as it is the song. David Ellefson of Megadeth, uses a Pick. Marko. Jason Newsted. Many many more.
The you have Steve Harris (Iron Maiden), Miho from Lovebites, Rob Trujillo, Cliff Burton who destroy on the bass with fingers.
For myself I prefer to play with fingers, but after having my dominant wrist rebuilt, I had to switch to a pick for endurance and pain management.
I would love to hear Floor singing this song 👍🤘👍
Yes you absolutly do slaying the dreamer the start riff Is absolutly beautiful and heavy🤟🤟, And personally i prefer end of an era version, but Buenos Aires Is awesome too, I already smell a double reaction 😂😂
PS you must absolutly heard "i speak astronomy" by jinjer all song for headbang 😂😂 bass tone insane
Shoemaker, tribal, pan... Those are songs from the NEW Nightwish album. I think It would be cool if you'd react to The new album from the beggining to the end. And the second disc you listen as one peace.
TRIBAL IS SO GOOD
