Back when Anette was hired, there were complaints circulating around the press that she was hired more for her appearance than her vocal abilities, so Nightwish made this video with the stand-in models in response to that criticism.
Old good behind the scenes stuff , something he reacted few weeks ago , sponsored by VEEN bottled water . Nightwish Amaranth Training Session ua-cam.com/video/rNrTTJrsq_w/v-deo.html 5 min 23 sec , blonde Anette , stage gear testing , band in normal clothes .
Urgh, really? I missed that criticism. Gross, unfair to Anette and obviously sexist. And completely idiotic to think Nightwish would ever do that! Thanks for the info though, that's interesting!
thank you for explaining that. I was very very confused by the all female band playing in the video. I thought that maybe Chase had grabbed a cover band doing this song by mistake somehow(I know, Chase wouldn't make that kind of mistake, but I was very very very confused, lol). I don't listen to this song all that much, much as I love it, because I know Nightwish had removed this song from active service, because they have buried the hatchet with Tarja, so to speak. That's why I never go out of my way to find this song, kind of as a gesture of respect to them moving on.
I literally dissolved into tears as Marco started singing here. I guess it took that for me to finally realise that we wouldn't hear his amazing voice and his amazing bass with Nightwish again. He will be missed but I hope he's okay, that's the most important. And I'm sure his replacement is gonna kick ass too.
Slow, Love, Slow is the perfect Annette song for me. It's even up there with my favourite Nightwish songs. It is just Tuomas using her skills very well.
I have always adored Anette's vocals, ALL 3 singers bring something different to the band. As for another Anette song, I would recommend Meadows of Heaven, it's absolutely stunning and highly underrated. Keep doing what you're doing Chase! ❤️
Annette Olzon... The second Queen of Nightwish , honest and more popy - sharp sounded in Nightwist ... Too bad that fans never liked her and appriciated her , big mistake of them ! Cruel ! Annette was very special and I really love her and deserved more than the hate of the fans at her era !
This song is hugely emotional so much so they stopped playing it live. Might be because it's a message to Tarja aswell. Marco's in his 50s by the way...
This hurts my heart. There’s no voice like Marco, he’s irreplaceable, but it’s so important to look after himself. I hope a year off helps him significantly and he returns stronger than ever.
Farewell Marko. My heart still hurts. Such a massive talent, such a powerful force within Nightwish. 😢 Hopefully he'll be back making music soon though.
I think Chase will dig this one for sure. I always felt this song was a tad under appreciated. I am struggling watching Nightwish videos this week. I am still crushed by the announcement. I will however be around for Nightwish Saturdays. Be damned if I miss one.
I do not believe it's under appreciated, it has a tons of youtube views for example. They do not play it live because it clearly adressed to Tarja and they do not want to go there, Tuomas has said so specifically. I also think it got a lot of air time on MTV back then, not sure anymore though, it's been maaany years since it was released.
@@goranelez9956 But very few reactions on it. In general Anette have few reactions, which is sad. She is really good on many songs. I love her in Escapist.
This was one of the very first songs from Nightwish that I ever heard, and was for sure a favourite from that album. For their next song how about their cover of Phantom of the Opera from the End of an Era concert? You still haven't done that one, and for me it's Marko's single best vocal performance, so it seems fitting to give it a look, given his recent news.
Yep, this was the music that brought me to the Nightwish World. I really like this music video, it’s so energetic and the Marcos’ vocal is fantastic here.
I was always so disappointed by the Nightwish fans bullying Annette, she's an amazing singer and did such a great job on the 2 albums and just got absolutely ripped to shreds by Tarja fanboys.
I think that each of the female lead singers that Nightwish has had from Tarja, to Annette, and from her to Floor has her own music style and way of sing and interpretates each song but you can't deny each of them is good on her own. Of course my favorite is Tarja for her unique operatic and artistic style. But the 3 added something to the band. And Marko Hietala has this voice registration that is very most of his signature.
Very happy that finally have some reaction in Annete's songs. She is amazing singer and the two albums with NW very high in my list. Her voice clear and colourful,her moves and dance incredible, the lyrics of the song full of emotions and anger and the Marco's vocals reminds me that unfortunately we will never hear again. Dark passion play is a very interesting album and quite different from all the other,so beautiful ballads, so angers songs and the poet and the pendulum who saved the life of Tuomas Holopainen. It was a rebirth of a great band with quite different singer and a big goodbye to his personal feelings. After this album we have imagination and universe. So for me it is a unique album with beautiful songs and lyrics, great duets with Annete and Marco and so many amazing ballads like no other album before. The views explain everything 131 millions, this song still like to many people. Great reaction thank you.
The best song of NW Anette on vocals and straight in-your-face punctuating the theme of Tarja's departure. Btw, it was Marko who first voiced out that the pair TT&MC must be ousted from the band, so his delivery in the chorus is really destructive. Cool reaction!
Great analysis of the song. I'm a Nightwish novice ,in fact it was the first song I heard when I started seeking out symphonic metal, and have liked it ever since . I have to dive into their whole catalog
It is weird how this song brings all the memories. This song always makes me think of my ex best friend, we were practically inseparable. But, she let me know that everything I could do, she could do it better, but in a rather subtle kind of way. She insulted me (behind my back) in front of my Mom, who was then super disappointed in her but wouldn't tell me what she said. It took me 4 or 5 years to realize exactly how toxic that friendship was, and my mom once told me "that isn't a friendship" but I didn't listen, I was in my late teens, didn't have many friends and was just glad to have someone. So this song and "Never enough" by Tarja always reminds me of that "friendship". Sorry for the rant, just needed to get that off my chest I guess, even though it's been nearly 10 years by now. Otherwise: great reaction! Looking forward to non-metal week! :)
This song was INCREDIBLE live. I had the privilege of seeing Nightwish perform in 2008 (at a fairly small venue, it must be said), and this song really stood out for me in the set.
Check out Marko's old band Tarot for some of his aggressive lead vocals: "I Rule" "Follow the Blind" "I Walk Forever" And Anette's band The Dark Element: "Dead to Me" "My Sweet Mystery" "Songs the Night Sings"
I have almost been afraid to watch a lot of Nightwish videos lately as every time Marko pops up there are pangs in my soul. Anette kills it here. I My favorite song with her is, "The Crow, the Owl, and the Dove". One of the most gorgeous ballads EVER.
@@ChaseCarneson From the videos I've seen so far, you have a deep appreciation for music that shines through no matter the genre which is great to see. As someone with some but little music knowledge and ability, it's fun and educational to watch you break down the parts of music that give me shivers. If I may make a suggestion for you, Thank You Scientist has a sound you may enjoy ua-cam.com/video/IStpaq2wCKU/v-deo.html
Wanderlust, Last Ride of the Day, and Sleeping Sun all get my vote for the Saturday suggestion. Thank you for all the hard work Chase!!! I look so forward to these every week.
*CHASE* When you have time and you want to , please do a Within Temptation one. There are so many songs that show how beautiful Sharon's voice is . - WT ft Anneke Van Gierbergen - Somewhere Live at Black Symphony -WT - In The Middle Of the Night -WT - Stand my Ground etc ❤️
For some reason, the official video from Nuclear Blast Records channel is one half-step down (from E minor to Eb minor) and slightly slower. If you listen to the official video in the Nightwish channel you can find the original. Nice reaction :)
I’ve never been the biggest Annette fan, but I forgot how much I like her vocals on this one! This was Nightwish’s fans first introduction to Annette and it really went viral at the time. As an “old” fan it was really cool seeing so many new people discovering the band through this video, regardless of the circumstances.
Over the hills and far away is a greatly unreacted song, most of us that's the first song we heard. Tristania's year of the rat would be fun, I often wondered what a trained ear would say about it.
It took a long time but finally I was able to listen to Annet's songs without the negative feelings that Tarja's departure caused me, but now I can appreciate how good she is, and fully enjoy the songs of that time. Marco always amazing.
This song was off the first album I listened to from these guys. So it always brings a smile to my face. After all these years I still have to say that the Dark Passion Play album is one of their best. It’s so heavy and has tons of emotions ripping you throughout it. They have songs like this one then they have Meadows of Heaven which is one of their most beautiful songs ever written. Great stuff.
Dark Passion Play, what a album. You have to see the sequence of tracks. 1: Poet and the Pendulum -> grief, depression, Nr.2 Bye Bye Beautiful -> Farewell to Tarja, Nr.5: Master Passion Greed -> pure anger for Tarja`s husband, Nr.6 Eva -> another farewell to Tarja in my optinion.
its hard not to like all three ladies who have been part of Nightwish ... Tarja and Anette and Floor ... they all have brought something special to Nightwish ... thank you for this Chase ... good job .. good analysis ..
For the 3rd time since the release of human nature, i recognized how great nightwish is and it hit harder every time. Finding your channel was a nice little bonus. Keep up the good work🤘🏻
Hope your crammed schedule isn't proving too difficult. Another great one - I like Annette, a lot of the songs from her time with the band are super catchy without losing the 'metal' vibe. Nice one, Mr C ☺
Hello Chase, Would love it if you do a reaction to one of Nightwish's and Tuomas' major influence band Stratovarius and any of their song (Black Diamond is amazing).
The song is absolutely amazing! It's one of my "Go to" songs when I go to my favourite karaoke bar. Me and one of my best friend always sing it (she's doing the Anette vocals, and I'm doing Marko's). Of course I can't sing like him (I do a bit more harsh vocals, but I'm not that good, I'd say I'm pretty much amateur), but the goal of the karaoke is to have fun and sing, despite the fact you can't. And this song is one of the few Nightwish songs in their database which includes Marko as well, so we sing together either this one, or "I Wish I Had an Angel" (another great song you should definitely react to!). And now, after the bars, clubs, etc. get open again, I will sing it even more, as a tribute to Marko, he will be missed!
Great reaction, as usual! Personally I LOVE Annette's voice. The "choir" vocals you hear at the end where you asked if it was being done on the keyboard or backing track or if it was her? I know that in concert she would actually sing that "ahhhh" part but it is very possible that there is a backing track with the choir being played faintly with her vocal being dominant and out-front. You can find that performance on UA-cam as well. I would also like to recommend you checkout "Meadows Of Heaven" sometime. It's a very beautiful song and her voice really shines in it.
My first song I've heard from Nightwish and probably still my favorite! Chase! I know Sum 41 isnt a Metal band,but their album Chuck is super heavy, and I would really love to hear you listening to The Bitter End by my favorite band of all time: Sum 41!
I concur about the headphones. Everytime I buy a cd I ALWAYS have to listen to it in headphones first. It's a little ritual I have🤩 You miss out on so much through a speaker🎧🎵
Wish the best for Marko. He will be missed, and it will be strange without his amazing abilities. However, his personal well-being is more important than our (the fans) satisfaction. Be well Marko.
Love the reaction! Anette has a lovely solo album called Shine with a ton of just beautiful songs on there. Also I would love to see you react to some Dream Theater, songs being The Dark Eternal Night, Panic Attack, Fall into the Light, The Glass Prison, In the Name of God. You can find great quality live versions which is suggested. Amazing band that you will have a ton of fun with! Thank you again
All of us fans are gutted by the news Marko dropped on us all, but now we need to let him be - it hurts, but if we are to have the possibility of getting Marko back, we need to let him be and let him rest. This song really shows why we love Marko and why he is so vital to Nightwish, but his health - mental and physical is more important. I think you should do “The crow, the Owl & the Dove”, "Meadows of Heaven" or "Slow Love Slow" these songs are truly perfect for Anette and showcase her voice and talent beautifully. I love each of these songs even though I'm not the biggest fan of Anette's voice or sound with Nightwish, I just keep going back to these songs again and again.
One of the BEST examples of Annette's amazing voice, especially during her Nightwish years, is on Song of Myself from this same album. Her voice gets so powerful in the chorus that it almost doesn't even sound like her singing. It was a rather unfortunate set of unavoidable circumstances that led Tuomas to make the now infamous decision to replace her with Floor Jansen after the equally famous/infamous 'Denver Debacle' during the imaginaerum tour.
Well, I guess that depends on your take on the whole Annette / Floor debate. After Annette was taken to the hospital, they had to make a difficult but critical decision. We can look back now and say it was a great decision, but at that time in the band, it might have seemed a little hasty and cruel to Annette.
Hearing Marco sing, just crushed... I was planning on catching the show in London and at least one of the US shows this year, now I don't even know what to think about it yet. 😔
I couldn't make it for the premiere today, and I missed what you all guys talked about, but how fitting is to have "Bye Bye Beautiful" this week. My heart still breaks. This video suggest that everyone is "replaceable" but I just don't see how at this point in time. It's been a heavy week. A lot of loss on a personal level as well, and it just sucks... Great reaction as usual though.
Great reaction as always, Chase! Yeah, Marco is a very talented singer and song-writer, too bad that he quit the band. I hope to come back soon though!
Chase, I'm in the same situation as yours: pretty hyped and excited by my first Nightwish show ... and thanks Covid, we will miss something. Marko can be replaced as a bass, but lyrically, you can remove many songs to the potential set list for future concerts, that hurts a lot. As regards this song, this is technically really good but the backstory behind and the lyrics make it something special. Catchy but still very aggressive: you won't get many WT songs where the open heart makes anger explode this way.
This one's gonna hit different, I love watching your reaction and analysis to NW music but this is the first one I'm watching knowing Marko left, I'm getting teary eyed when I see him in videos since the 12th when I read the resignation letter, man is he special and he's gonna be missed, but his well being is what should count most now and always ♥️
I'm glad I checked your main page, looks like there's a few reactions missing from the Nightwish playlist! I thought I got them all, but She is My Sin, Alpenglow and Slaying the Dreamer (and My Walden) aren't on there.
Not correct, he has done Slaying the Dreamer. But missing songs like Weak Fantasy, Bless the Child, Stargazers, Eva, and most underrated song Cadence of her last breath, just to name fra...........
@@tomimjokinen Oh, with this I meant that he has done these reactions, but they aren't on the channel's "Nightwish Reactions" playlist, so I almost missed them by only playing the playlist. I've always loved Cadence of Her Last Breath, I do hope he does this one soon! ETA: He has done Weak Fantasy as a double reaction with Julia Nilon and that one is on her channel.
Hey chase, awesome video as always. I love the content that you create your positive energy makes me smile every time i watch your videos. Please do another ayreon reaction, something from ayreon universe maybe? Marko was fucking awesome there. There is a song the Collision that he sings with Tommy Kraverik form Kamelot. I'm sure you'll love it Marko goes full aggresive in this song!!!
My vote goes to “Sleeping Sun” from the Oceanborn album, either the original music video with Tarja, or Floor’s live version from Tampere (or a double reaction :) ). Love both. It’s a beautiful ballad written for the solar eclipse in 1999, it was also used as a theme song in a movie Britannic.
Back when Anette was hired, there were complaints circulating around the press that she was hired more for her appearance than her vocal abilities, so Nightwish made this video with the stand-in models in response to that criticism.
Old good behind the scenes stuff , something he reacted few weeks ago , sponsored by VEEN bottled water .
Nightwish Amaranth Training Session ua-cam.com/video/rNrTTJrsq_w/v-deo.html 5 min 23 sec , blonde Anette , stage gear testing , band in normal clothes .
I always wondered why they did that in this video.
Urgh, really? I missed that criticism. Gross, unfair to Anette and obviously sexist. And completely idiotic to think Nightwish would ever do that!
Thanks for the info though, that's interesting!
thank you for explaining that. I was very very confused by the all female band playing in the video. I thought that maybe Chase had grabbed a cover band doing this song by mistake somehow(I know, Chase wouldn't make that kind of mistake, but I was very very very confused, lol). I don't listen to this song all that much, much as I love it, because I know Nightwish had removed this song from active service, because they have buried the hatchet with Tarja, so to speak. That's why I never go out of my way to find this song, kind of as a gesture of respect to them moving on.
Nightwish wanted to make something different but years later, they realized Anette's voice doesn't fit with Nightwish style.
I literally dissolved into tears as Marco started singing here. I guess it took that for me to finally realise that we wouldn't hear his amazing voice and his amazing bass with Nightwish again. He will be missed but I hope he's okay, that's the most important. And I'm sure his replacement is gonna kick ass too.
Been on that mind set now for two days too. Never before had tears with this song but now I did. Dash!
He will be back, sooner or later
I ve been listening to Nightwish a lot less this last week. The Pain will go away I guess.
Absolutely agree with everything you said. I also really needed to hear someone say out loud what Chase said at the end
Exactly what I thought. How are these songs going to work out live without his voice?
I have to say MEADOWS OF HEAVEN for more Anette
I prefer Escapist.
yes, a great and different Nightwish song
Agree.
SO underrated!
Slow, Love, Slow is the perfect Annette song for me. It's even up there with my favourite Nightwish songs. It is just Tuomas using her skills very well.
Since you are looking anette song, i recomend meadows of heaven, it is just a magical song
Definetely her best imo
Yes, I'm really waiting for that also. 👍
I prefer Escapist.
Meadows of Heaven, I do agree :-)
Scaretale would be interesting to see as well!
I have always adored Anette's vocals, ALL 3 singers bring something different to the band. As for another Anette song, I would recommend Meadows of Heaven, it's absolutely stunning and highly underrated.
Keep doing what you're doing Chase! ❤️
Aaaah Tauri thank you for the lovely message
Annette Olzon... The second Queen of Nightwish , honest and more popy - sharp sounded in Nightwist ... Too bad that fans never liked her and appriciated her , big mistake of them ! Cruel ! Annette was very special and I really love her and deserved more than the hate of the fans at her era !
There is absolutely no reason to be emotional listening to this song, but with the recent news of Marco leaving the band, this just killed me.
Hits so hard that news 🤧😢
In the context of Tarja leaving the band, it is very emotional imho.
Damn the was the first I heard of Marco leaving. I’m stunned.
What?!?
This song is hugely emotional so much so they stopped playing it live. Might be because it's a message to Tarja aswell.
Marco's in his 50s by the way...
This hurts my heart. There’s no voice like Marco, he’s irreplaceable, but it’s so important to look after himself. I hope a year off helps him significantly and he returns stronger than ever.
Chase: "I love Marko..."
Me: "I feel you..."
😢
I hope very much that Marko's leaving is a temporary thing. He's such an integral part of the band.
Continue to do more Anette please! I would love to see you react to Slow, Love, Slow live Montreux Jazz Festival 2012.
I have been requesting Escapist, with Anette, but I agree that a reaction to Slow, Love, Slow would be interesting. It is an interesting song.
Farewell Marko. My heart still hurts. Such a massive talent, such a powerful force within Nightwish. 😢 Hopefully he'll be back making music soon though.
Excellent as always! Turn loose the mermaids is one of the most important songs that you need to listen and be in awe :)
Since you've looked at "Storytime" live with Floor, you could check out the "Storytime" music video with Anette
love his vocal in this song, such a shame Marco has left, he will be sorely missed 😔
We can only hope that the future will indeed be re-marko-ble.
I wonder if Irene can play an bass.....
I think Chase will dig this one for sure. I always felt this song was a tad under appreciated. I am struggling watching Nightwish videos this week. I am still crushed by the announcement. I will however be around for Nightwish Saturdays. Be damned if I miss one.
I do not believe it's under appreciated, it has a tons of youtube views for example. They do not play it live because it clearly adressed to Tarja and they do not want to go there, Tuomas has said so specifically. I also think it got a lot of air time on MTV back then, not sure anymore though, it's been maaany years since it was released.
It has more views than any other Nightwish song.
@@goranelez9956 It's also 16 years old now (wow!), so not surprising given how long it's been out.
I'm sure GLS will pass it before long.
@@goranelez9956 But very few reactions on it. In general Anette have few reactions, which is sad. She is really good on many songs. I love her in Escapist.
@@goranelez9956Fair point lol. It was not a levied criticism of course, just a general gut feeling.
Rest Calm is one of my favorite songs from Anette's era. It's pretty unique but so can be said from a lot of Nightwish songs :)
This was one of the very first songs from Nightwish that I ever heard, and was for sure a favourite from that album. For their next song how about their cover of Phantom of the Opera from the End of an Era concert? You still haven't done that one, and for me it's Marko's single best vocal performance, so it seems fitting to give it a look, given his recent news.
Slow, love, Slow and Meadows of Heaven, both live. Anette can be amazing live too.
Marko, screaming 'Bye Bye Beautiful' into his mic. Stabs right into my heart.
It's very simple, Chase, Meadows of Heaven is next on the Anette playlist. Just a stunningly beautiful song.
Yep, this was the music that brought me to the Nightwish World. I really like this music video, it’s so energetic and the Marcos’ vocal is fantastic here.
I miss Anette, some of Nightwish songs are truly hers...
I have been a Nightwish fan for more than 15 years. Looking back, I really love the two studio albums with Anette Olzon the most.
I was always so disappointed by the Nightwish fans bullying Annette, she's an amazing singer and did such a great job on the 2 albums and just got absolutely ripped to shreds by Tarja fanboys.
I am absolutely with you on that!
I think that each of the female lead singers that Nightwish has had from Tarja, to Annette, and from her to Floor has her own music style and way of sing and interpretates each song but you can't deny each of them is good on her own.

My first Nightwish song. Such a good memory...

Can you react band called Poets Of The Fall and song Dreaming Wide and Wake. Pop/rock band from Finland and vocalist Marko Saaresto is one of a kind!
Ohh lovely recommendation! I'd have a look at the acoustic version of temple of thought or daze!
I have almost been afraid to watch a lot of Nightwish videos lately as every time Marko pops up there are pangs in my soul. Anette kills it here. I My favorite song with her is, "The Crow, the Owl, and the Dove". One of the most gorgeous ballads EVER.
How s the Heart? Hope a little better?
I couldn't get over the irony of your last comments on this, knowing what we were just about to hear. But fun reaction, great analysis as always.

Wanderlust, Last Ride of the Day, and Sleeping Sun all get my vote for the Saturday suggestion. Thank you for all the hard work Chase!!! I look so forward to these every week.
*CHASE*
When you have time and you want to , please do a Within Temptation one. There are so many songs that show how beautiful Sharon's voice is .

yayayayayaya!!!!! sooooo excited for this one!!! chase, you're just gonna love it!
Same. Random music channel play and hooked.
Great song to listen/react to, given Marko's announcement. Bye, Bye Beautiful indeed.
high hopes from the end of an era tour pls :) especially since the recent events, this one is a true classic, that not alot of ppl even know about
Still my favorite album but i have to say "Meadows of heaven" absolutely sealed the deal for me emotionally and vocally. I highly recommend.
anyone else get goosebumps when Marko came in? gutted ill never get to see Nightwish with him! :-(
Marko gives me butterflies in my stomach like I’m back in high school. Swoon, sigh, heavy exhale...🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😘😍
I always love seeing Tuomas in any video, live performance or MV, he looks always very intense. He feels every moment of every song, it's so raw
For the 3rd time since the release of human nature, i recognized how great nightwish is and it hit harder every time. Finding your channel was a nice little bonus. Keep up the good work🤘🏻
Thank you friend. Appreciate it.
Hope your crammed schedule isn't proving too difficult. Another great one - I like Annette, a lot of the songs from her time with the band are super catchy without losing the 'metal' vibe. Nice one, Mr C ☺
Hello Chase,
Would love it if you do a reaction to one of Nightwish's and Tuomas' major influence band Stratovarius and any of their song (Black Diamond is amazing).
The song is absolutely amazing! It's one of my "Go to" songs when I go to my favourite karaoke bar. Me and one of my best friend always sing it (she's doing the Anette vocals, and I'm doing Marko's). Of course I can't sing like him (I do a bit more harsh vocals, but I'm not that good, I'd say I'm pretty much amateur), but the goal of the karaoke is to have fun and sing, despite the fact you can't. And this song is one of the few Nightwish songs in their database which includes Marko as well, so we sing together either this one, or "I Wish I Had an Angel" (another great song you should definitely react to!). And now, after the bars, clubs, etc. get open again, I will sing it even more, as a tribute to Marko, he will be missed!
Please, please, do Rest calm! Marko and Anette really killed it. And thank you for your reactions)
Absolute banger of a song. I don't care what anyone says about Anette and her short comings live, her two studio albums were brilliant.
Great reaction, as always. Rest Calm, please. Amazing song.
Great reaction, as usual! Personally I LOVE Annette's voice. The "choir" vocals you hear at the end where you asked if it was being done on the keyboard or backing track or if it was her? I know that in concert she would actually sing that "ahhhh" part but it is very possible that there is a backing track with the choir being played faintly with her vocal being dominant and out-front. You can find that performance on UA-cam as well. I would also like to recommend you checkout "Meadows Of Heaven" sometime. It's a very beautiful song and her voice really shines in it.
It's got to be Rest Calm for me. Awesome Marco vocals and a moving song given what's happened.
My first song I've heard from Nightwish and probably still my favorite!
Chase! I know Sum 41 isnt a Metal band,but their album Chuck is super heavy, and I would really love to hear you listening to The Bitter End by my favorite band of all time: Sum 41!
Oh gosh ! Nightwish and Sum41 are my favourite bands ever, if Chase, whom I admire, reacts to any performance by Sum41 I would be over the moon !!!! 😍
I concur about the headphones. Everytime I buy a cd I ALWAYS have to listen to it in headphones first. It's a little ritual I have🤩 You miss out on so much through a speaker🎧🎵
Wish the best for Marko. He will be missed, and it will be strange without his amazing abilities. However, his personal well-being is more important than our (the fans) satisfaction. Be well Marko.
The Dark Element and Anette 😍
Sleeping sun live with Tarja. All three singers they've had her great but Tarja's deeper more sombre voice suits sleeping sun perfectly.
Love the reaction! Anette has a lovely solo album called Shine with a ton of just beautiful songs on there.
Also I would love to see you react to some Dream Theater, songs being The Dark Eternal Night, Panic Attack, Fall into the Light, The Glass Prison, In the Name of God. You can find great quality live versions which is suggested. Amazing band that you will have a ton of fun with! Thank you again
All of us fans are gutted by the news Marko dropped on us all, but now we need to let him be - it hurts, but if we are to have the possibility of getting Marko back, we need to let him be and let him rest. This song really shows why we love Marko and why he is so vital to Nightwish, but his health - mental and physical is more important.
I think you should do “The crow, the Owl & the Dove”, "Meadows of Heaven" or "Slow Love Slow" these songs are truly perfect for Anette and showcase her voice and talent beautifully. I love each of these songs even though I'm not the biggest fan of Anette's voice or sound with Nightwish, I just keep going back to these songs again and again.
This was the first ever nightwish song I heard, soo catchy
Their second hardest song, after Master Passion Greed. Wonderful stuff.
One of the BEST examples of Annette's amazing voice, especially during her Nightwish years, is on Song of Myself from this same album. Her voice gets so powerful in the chorus that it almost doesn't even sound like her singing. It was a rather unfortunate set of unavoidable circumstances that led Tuomas to make the now infamous decision to replace her with Floor Jansen after the equally famous/infamous 'Denver Debacle' during the imaginaerum tour.
I love her voice in the recorded tracks. But when I saw her live it seemed she didn't have the capacity.
"Infamous"??? That's a bit strong, isn't it?
Well, I guess that depends on your take on the whole Annette / Floor debate. After Annette was taken to the hospital, they had to make a difficult but critical decision. We can look back now and say it was a great decision, but at that time in the band, it might have seemed a little hasty and cruel to Annette.
they look way better in this video... incredible makeovers ;)
Hearing Marco sing, just crushed... I was planning on catching the show in London and at least one of the US shows this year, now I don't even know what to think about it yet. 😔
Floor has released a new cover of Lara Fabian.
Bye Bye Beautiful is the ringtone for my mom ahah , this song got her into Nightwish.
First Song of Nightwish i listened when I was a child :D
I couldn't make it for the premiere today, and I missed what you all guys talked about, but how fitting is to have "Bye Bye Beautiful" this week. My heart still breaks. This video suggest that everyone is "replaceable" but I just don't see how at this point in time. It's been a heavy week. A lot of loss on a personal level as well, and it just sucks... Great reaction as usual though.
to Chase i say...... HELLO Beautiful
Great reaction as always, Chase!
Yeah, Marco is a very talented singer and song-writer, too bad that he quit the band. I hope to come back soon though!
One of my favorite Nightwish tunes!
This really is their most pop like song but damn! That chorus is goooood.
Chase, I'm in the same situation as yours: pretty hyped and excited by my first Nightwish show ... and thanks Covid, we will miss something. Marko can be replaced as a bass, but lyrically, you can remove many songs to the potential set list for future concerts, that hurts a lot.
As regards this song, this is technically really good but the backstory behind and the lyrics make it something special. Catchy but still very aggressive: you won't get many WT songs where the open heart makes anger explode this way.
The Escapist, The crow, the Owl & the Dove, Rest Calm and Meadows of Heaven :D
Chase Carneson: best air-drummer on UA-cam.
Facts!!!!!
This one's gonna hit different, I love watching your reaction and analysis to NW music but this is the first one I'm watching knowing Marko left, I'm getting teary eyed when I see him in videos since the 12th when I read the resignation letter, man is he special and he's gonna be missed, but his well being is what should count most now and always ♥️
I'm glad I checked your main page, looks like there's a few reactions missing from the Nightwish playlist! I thought I got them all, but She is My Sin, Alpenglow and Slaying the Dreamer (and My Walden) aren't on there.
@@_Frosty.1 Yeah, I was letting it play down in order, and then saw the others on the suggested list
Not correct, he has done Slaying the Dreamer.
But missing songs like Weak Fantasy, Bless the Child, Stargazers, Eva, and most underrated song Cadence of her last breath, just to name fra...........
@@tomimjokinen Oh, with this I meant that he has done these reactions, but they aren't on the channel's "Nightwish Reactions" playlist, so I almost missed them by only playing the playlist. I've always loved Cadence of Her Last Breath, I do hope he does this one soon!
ETA: He has done Weak Fantasy as a double reaction with Julia Nilon and that one is on her channel.
Hey chase, awesome video as always. I love the content that you create your positive energy makes me smile every time i watch your videos. Please do another ayreon reaction, something from ayreon universe maybe? Marko was fucking awesome there. There is a song the Collision that he sings with Tommy Kraverik form Kamelot. I'm sure you'll love it Marko goes full aggresive in this song!!!
My vote goes to “Sleeping Sun” from the Oceanborn album, either the original music video with Tarja, or Floor’s live version from Tampere (or a double reaction :) ). Love both. It’s a beautiful ballad written for the solar eclipse in 1999, it was also used as a theme song in a movie Britannic.
I felt in love with this man! Merry me please! 😍❤✨
😂😂😂 Hey, not a musician but that is not the EV-1!!😂😂😂 Dang Marko - like no other!
You should listen to "Master Passion Greed" to celebrate Marko. He was the lead singer and did a fantastic job as always. He'll be missed.
Yeah, the last Song, about Tarja leaving the Band.
Marko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😞This was the official farewell to Tarja. Great job Chase! Still in shock. Peace. 🤘🤘🤘✌
I wonder what would have Tank more confused - that it isn't Empuu or that (s)he isn't playing the EV1 :D
I love Nightwish with Tarja. I love Nightwish with Anette. I love Nightwish with Floor.
