Hi haboubs! Thank you so much for the ridiculous support you've been giving us over the past 2 weeks. We can't believe we're about to hit 1,000 subscribers. A HUGE thank you to the awesome captains like Chris D, John Cobb, Corn of Sweden, Mister J56 (There's so many more of you sorry i'm not remembering all the names). You've been an incredible source of insight, I promise i've been reading every comment and i'm trying to reply to every single one of you. If any of you are on instagram and want to chat hit me up with a DM. (@theboudy). Have an awesome day!
What he said during the missing subtitles: "So if I sing the chorus, you gonna sing along?" Crowd: YAAAAAAAAA "You will?" Crowd: WOOOOOOO "Okay, here we go then..."
There is a saying that goes along with this song: "One might someday be cool enough to have a long, braided Viking beard. And one might someday be cool enough to have that beard AND be bassist for the greatest metal band in the world. But you'll never be cool enough to have that beard, be that bassist, AND have Floor Jansen as your BACKUP singer!"
Dear Arab Man, from my experience life is as it is, with better and worse, and as time goes on you end up not having expectations that you will see something extraordinarily good. So the emotional reaction of many of us to Nightwish is this: "Thank you for having the chance to see and hear something so beautiful, in this life full of mediocrity and half measure." All the members of the band have strong and distinct personalities, they are all extremely talented professionals, and they all have the emotional availability to give themselves completely on stage. Such a thing cannot be counterfeited, it would be felt immediately. I think that's why we love them subliminally, because they are a breath of fresh air we all need so much.
@@daven4297 Thank you. What can I tell you, I am subjective, like anyone else. Some reactors become closer to my heart over time. The welcome message is a "survival kit" for beginners.
He is with the band ( not a visitor). Floor has horses, a kid and a husband, writes music, build fences for her animals.. check out her youtube channel. She just uploaded a thing with Marco
Yep, the guy with the low whistle is Troy, he's a permanent member of the band, he is featured very prominently in the newest album, he's also a multi-instrumentalist, so he does like 4 instruments, and also sings. They're fantastic :D
Notice...at the end of the song, Marko doesn't stand there and bask in the applause. He just walks back to the main stage to get on with it - all business. Gotta love that.
You sweet, sweet soul of a man" - This is the most beautiful comment about Marco I´ve ever heard, from a man! You are awsome, AMR! :) And you are so right.❤️ Thinking about sitting at the campfire with him/all of them singing this song... This would be the best night of my life. Greetings to Joey (?) in the Backroung! :D Ps. The Witcher 3 🤘
Both Floor and Marko are wonderful people. Friendly and humble and a great sense of humor too. I had the honor of meeting both of them and love them even more since.
Floor decides what she wants te wear, suitable to the music/theme of that particular concert. Her outfits are made by a professional seamstress in Austria.
Royal Black is the company that makes most of her corsets, amazing pieces. royalblack.at/corsetry-couture-collection Scroll down and you’ll recognize quite a few that Floor has worn on stage. Especially that black and gold jaw dropper from the Buenos Aires concert in 2018. Good lord lol.
This is one of the songs composed by Marko and included in the Nightwish repertoire. Another great song composed by him is "While Your Lips Are Still Red". I recommend the version he sang at the Wembley concert in 2016 ... ua-cam.com/video/5V7PKv493Ic/v-deo.html
I love your love and appreciation for the level of genius and talent this band displays in the composition, music, lyrics, vocals...I wouldn't mind grabbing a drink and listening to some Nightwish with you!
Been a nightwish fan for a while when floor came along i was not sure how it would sound..but she does her own thing and she does it with clarity and power,as for tarja she still out there and one very good duo worth a listen is Tarja Turunen - 14.The Phantom of the Opera (Act 1 DVD) got some real power to that stage.
Troy (the flutist here) has been a regular member since 2013, guest musician before that. He was asked to join at the same time as Floor. They've been using him more and more throughout the years; in Wacken 2013, he was on stage for three songs, in Buenos Aires 2018 for more than half of them. Also, his influence on the band's music and lyric has grown over the years: besides diverse whistles (low whistle here) he plays the uillean pipes (Irish bagpipes), guitar, bouzouki etc.etc. and does some singing, mostly background, two songs as lead. He has also contributed to the band becoming expressly secular (though most members are atheists anyway: Floor, Tuomas and Troy are outspoken atheists, Marko is "agnostic"). I don't know if Floor makes eggs in the morning. :) She is almost vegetarian, though, the only meat she eats is hunted elk meat from near where she lives in Sweden. What does she do all day? Right now, being visibly bored and frustrated because the band can't tour, but enjoying her forced sabbatical and the family time she didn't think she would get. If you don't already know, she lives on a small farm in southern Sweden (she is Dutch, though) with her husband (the drummer of Sabaton) and her three-year old daughter, Freja. She owns two horses and two cats and enjoys horseback riding. She also likes to work in the garden, grows her own veggies and apparently has started to write some music for a solo album. Check out her channel. She has the basic ideas for her own outfits (no one tells a goddess how to dress!) and goes with them to a trusted designer (there are several ladies she has cooperated with), who then design and make her outfits according to her guidelines. She normally does her own stage makeup, but on this particular occasion she had help from a professional makeup artist. Request: 7 Days to the Wolves live at Wembley, but I think I made that request already. (Floor as warrior queen.) ua-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/v-deo.html
If you want one with yet another dynamic, try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" and pay close attention to Floor in particular... most reactors don't usually pick up what's going on!
IMHO what separates a good and a great guitarist is that the good ones plays the instrument, the great ones makes the instrument sing. It's the best explanation I've come up with to easily describe the difference.
It is a real pleasure to watch you immerse yourself in the world of Nightwish. You are already excited .... but - believe me - it will get even better ... this is not because the next songs are better, but because you understand more of that nightwish feeling ... although, my favorite songs coming ... so try next: Storytime and then Ever Dream (both Wacken 2013). Later than you could dive in into the world of Floor - maybe the show: Beste Zangers 2019 (that’s a show where talented singers sing a song from another one - all of them sitting on a couch and watch and listen....)
Thank you 🙏🏻 soooo much more Nightwish coming. I honestly can’t wait. Every time joe rolls the camera and gives me the name of the song and it’s Nightwish I get super excited
When I see someone applauding at the reaction, I know that they have realized the beauty of the song they are listening to. Great reaction. Another one anyway.
Marko is so cool. I've met him three times and he is so genuine and down to Earth. 😁 They all are. It's great to see you on this Nightwish journey. 🤘💜🤘
Welcome to the amazing world of Nightwish! May your journey be blessed and joyful! Nightwish is my favorite band and I think that Floor Jansen is probably the best female vocalist on the earth right now. And also welcome to the Nightwish army! It is so wonderful to have added another member! Stay on your journey and enjoy the ride!
I think the most powerful moment of this song comes at 5:35. Right there, that smile spread across Marko's face... well, that just says it all, don't you think? Pure joy...
Hey, Arab Man. You're really in the big time when you have Floor Jansen singing backup for you, huh? To answer your question, when Floor wakes up she does some gardening, works out her horses, chops wood, builds fences, does some cleaning, and then has breakfast. After that she gets some work done. Cool reaction, brother. I recommend "Song of Myself", same show, or "Seven Days to the Wolves", from Wembley Arena. Peace and good health. :)
@@ArabManReacts Yeah, God only knows what she'll be up to next. Probably building a house or a barn or something. Maybe even brokering peace in the Middle East, who knows with Floor. Good to hear from you, brother. :)
Ahhh, you've only just begun with Nightwish and their army! Floor has SO many facets to her vocal range and styles! She's sweet and beautiful, she's raw and wicked and she GROWLS! There's nothing she can't do! A couple more songs for you to check out are Song of Myself, Romanticide and Storytime from the Wacken concert. She also did a tv show called Beste Zangers where she sang not only songs from different genres, but she also sang different languages! It's a lot to take in, and a very deep rabbit hole, but you seem to have jumped in with both feet, so enjoy the ride!!
Marko is a bit of the wizard singing and strumming, is he not? Floot is the SIren Valkyrie. Then you have the Shredder, The Banger, The Whistler, and Tomas the Mad Genius Composer putting it all together! All together they conscript and slay thousands! The Nightwish Army
🇫🇮😁🤘🎶🎸👍...Finntastic🤘 You have done only(JESSSSH😁)Nightwish reactions. Keep Them coming....everytime you get. 120% quaranteed that you wount be dissapointed 😁🇫🇮🤘
🤘💜🤘 The guy on the pipe is Troy. He became an official member of the band in October of 2013... same as Floor. Floor said since being on home isolation, she enjoys making meals for her husband & daughter.😎
The Islander Official music video is also worth a watch. It was Nightwish's first use of Troy (pipes), and iz so very good. If you want to hear another by Marco, I recommend 'While your Lips are still Red". ^.-.^
This man is so in love with Floor, it's adorable! I feel you, bud! I discovered Nightwish one day when I was looking for study music, so I decided to put the Wacken 2013 show on my TV, as I had heard of them before, so why not? Well, so much for that! Far from focusing on my vector calculus, all I could do was stare, slackjawed, at this stunningly beautiful dark angel, with a voice to match. Who was she? What sorcery was she casting on me? I was hooked!
Troy...guy playing the flute...is a permanent member. He had only just gained that status shortly before the Wacken 2013 show you’ve been sampling, so only appears a tiny bit in those videos. As you watch videos from subsequent shows, his presence will become more pervasive. He plays flute, whistles, bagpipes, bouzouki, guitar, and is emerging as a third vocalist. When you watch I Want My Tears Back from the Wacken 2013 show you’ll see/hear him playing the pipes. Oh, and Floor has a personal channel where she’s been showing what she does in everyday life.
André Somers Uilleann pipes are a type of bagpipe, just like other types of bagpipes such as border pipes, Highland pipes, pastoral pipes, Scottish small pipes, Zetland pipes, etc etc etc. They all use air blown across reeds by use of a bag. But yes, since being hyper specific seems important to you, the BAGPIPES Troy plays are, specifically, Uilleann pipes.
Troy (flute, irish pipe, vocal) is a permanent member. Check out "My Walden" same location live in Tampere and for sure "Greatest Show on Earth" Something hard: "Romanticide" or "Devil & The Dark Deep Ocean" or "Yours is an empty hope" and and and and Nightwish Army tells you where you should listen too
Nightwish Band Members in 2020 Marco Hietala - Bass Guitar / Vocalist joined in 1985 Tuomas Holopainen - Synthesizer joined in 1996 Emppu Vuorinen - Lead Electric Guitar joined in 1997 Kai Hahto - Drums joined in 2014 Floor Jansen - Lead Vocalist Joined in 2013 Troy Donockley - Tin Whistle joined in 2013
For a fun song : I Want My Tears Back (so that you can fall in love with Troy) For a great song : Storytime (Wacken) For a beautiful song : Everdream (Wacken) For a gorgeous song : Sleeping Sun (Tampere if you want to hear Floor, End of an Era DVD if you want to hear Tarja, the first singer) For the banshee wail : Romanticide (Wacken) For another symphonic metal band : Epica - Sancta Terra (with Floor as a guest) For an epic song by Epica - Chasing The Dragon For a Canadian metal band with Brittney Slayes, an amazing singer with a unique voice : Unleash The Archers (most people react to Awakening, but their new song Abyss is great too) For a song with 11 singers : Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down (see how many you know, and then listen to stuff from the people you don’t know) This should keep you busy for a while ;-)
That part where you were asking where the subtitles were, he said something along the lines of, "If I do the chorus, will you all sing along? You will? Let's go!" (I don't actually speak Finnish, but I saw it deep in the comments on the video.)
Dear beautiful human, this your best reaction, thank you... I have listened to this version on every reaction chanel.... warm hug from a stranger from the Netherlands ❤
What I have personally knows about Nightwish and all their songs the reason they're so good is everything they do is in service to the music not to themselves. There is only the joy of making great music and you see it in everything they do. Side now if you want to see how versatile floor can truly be check her out on best of zangers.
Arab Man, great reaction site! You have reacted to the first leg of the Holy Trinity of NightWish performances, time to finish up with the Poet and the Pendulum, then complete with The Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere! You may not have the words to express your inner feelings!
I love you. I love your sweet, sweet humanity. I love your gentle attitude and behavior. And you're a damn good music/video, reactor. You have much to teach us about the music we share. You immerse us within your knowledgeable essence, wave to wave as to be one with us in this universe of oceans of words and notes 🎶 we share. 🌊 I love your positive wave energy. Thank you for your gentle kindness.✌️
What I love about everyone in the band is, that they all dedicate their talent to the music, to the song. There is no intention, to show off. If Floor's voice is needed for the song, to backup Marco, she does it and enjoys it, for the love of the music. Everyone does. Check out the acoustic versions of "How's the Heart" and "Nemo". There is Troy, backing her up and the vocal harmonies are just beautiful. The new album "Human :II: Nature" makes use of all three singers, Floor, Marco and Troy, and it is full of great vocal harmonies.
All the marvelous-ness going on in this video, masterclass from Marko. And I had to replay a bit cause I needed to checkout his pants ....... yep, they look good. As for the cup of coffee - yep and get Floor to sing the menu cause even that would be a hit.
Thanks for another great reaction! I am really enjoying your clips! _"Gorgeous bunch of people doing gorgeous things!"_ I couldn't have said it better myself 😃 It's a bit of a cliché claiming that this or that piece of music is "a journey", but when it comes to Nightwish I really feel that holds true. I can lose myself in their music and these days (I recently returned to Nightwish after a 12 year long "break") I _never_ put their music on in the background. I always make listening to their music a dedicated activity. At times, this leads to what I more or less feel is a transcendental experience. This is the power of _truly_ good music; the ability to transport you into a different world. Yes, I completely agree regarding your comment on being "tasteful". This goes for any musician, really - vocalists, drummers and what have you. For instance, David Gilmour (another favourite musician of mine) might not be the most technically advanced guitarist out there, but he's able to channel his soul through his instrument and that makes a world of difference! While I'm a Swede with a rather rudimentary grasp of Finnish pronunciations, "Tampere" is pronounced more like "TAM-peh-reh". The "a" in Nordic countries tend to be open, in this case more like the beginning of "eye". I hope that I'm not nitpicking here 😊 Edit: Oh and as a rule-of-thumb, all letters in Finnish words tend to be pronounced seperately. For instance, the first Finnish word Floor learned was (perhaps not surprisingly) "perkele", one of the most common Finnish swear words 😁 It's not pronounced "perkeel" or something like that, but rather "PERR-keh-leh".
I was going to add that the emphasis is usually on the first syllable as well. Finnish is so beautiful. As is Swedish :) And Arabic. My one superpower wish would be to be fluent in every language.
Just to let you know, Floor has a UA-cam channel and she is doing special on it. Marco was her first guest this past weekend. The guy playing the pipes is Troy, he joined the band right after Floor JANSEN joined.
I think you are finally ready to tackle Nightwish's "The Greatest Show on Earth Live at Tempare" This same concert. It is a long one but DEFINITELY worth it, and it definitely helps to have the lyrics up on a separate monitor or to read over them before you watch it though to have a fuller idea of what the song is about.
So glad you reacted to this song. Marko has always been the subtle backbone of the band for me. The man can do everything and I'm ecstatic that you discovered him so soon in your Nightwish journey. Even when he isn't the focus of the song, you can still hear everything he's doing to tie the song together if you listen for it. Thanks for this wonderful reaction my friend! Welcome to the Nightwish Army!
That instrument was built for Marko, they call it "the beast". It's a Warwick bass and a Framus semi-hollow body guitar built into one. Marko went to music school, he studied singing, theory and classical guitar.
Fantastic reaction - love your takes and obvious enjoyment and appreciation for what’s going on. Floor and Marko are both forces of nature in their own right - when they harmonize it is just otherworldly. I think Marco needs a “Floor Jansen is my back-up singer” t-shirt 🤣 Also, regarding Floor’s daily life - check out her UA-cam channel. She has been sharing a lot with her fans there. The new “Storytime” series (two episodes so far) is just fantastic. You will love her even more. Just an incredibly down-to-earth and fantastic human being who just happens to be able to melt your brain with her voice.
This sounded like a country song , you know, everybody sitting around the camp fire and listening to this story being told in song and after a while join in? That's the feeling I got. Absolutely sweet and charming. Very unlike the usual Nightwish repertoire. And that shows the range of the band's talent. They could do anything and make it sound fantastic.
First and foremost: thank you very much for these very nice reaction-videos! What a joy to watch you discover the wonderful world of Nightwish. I promise you: no wasted time 😉. Of course there are songs from them, which I like more and some I like less - but a "bad" song I really never heard from them. I listened to them 20 years ago, but after I had gotten a family and my life became more mainstream, I lost them out of sight. Two and a half years ago I had nightshift (I'm a police-officer from Frankfurt am Main / Germany) and a colleague watched UA-cam-Videos while there wasn't something to do (it was a really quiet night). He watched the whole Wacken 2013 live concert, and I was blown away by Floor (in my opinion is Wacken 2013 the gold-standard of doing a live performance). Her range, her stage presence. And now, you gave me the opportunity to rediscover them again through your eyes. Your videos give me the same jaw-dropping feeling I had. Thank you for that. As I said: nice work, fantastic reactions. Please keep on going, you won't be disappointed. I recommend every song from Wacken 2013, Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018. Greetings from Germany 👌✌
I call Floor - Zina, because she reminds me a peaceful warrior somehow. She is amazing, all the others are great too. I would like to recommend you to react to one of the greatest singer. His name is Dimash and i would start with " SOS" from the Chinese show " the Singer". Thank you for your special reactions!
Check out Nightwish - While your lips are still red - Live at Wembley Also pretty much everything from Wacken 2013 from the band. Songs like Ever dream, Song of myself, Storytime, Ghost River, Romanticide, Dark Chest of Wonders, Last Ride of the Day and acoustic version of How's the Heard and Nemo with Floor and Marko at the guitar. And if you like that, check out "The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere 2015" (for this song you need to do some research before, so you know what this one is about and you need to listen it until very end, even after the credits roll). Have fun!
Great reaction bro, as for the 'acoustic' sounding guitar, that's because Marco has no distortion on his guitar, that's called a clean tone, and as for that sensation or 'مزوق' as you've said when playing guitar, most guitar players refer to it as the 'feel'. Also, the one playing the flute is a member of Nightwish, he's Nightwish's guitarist Emppu, Keep up the great reactions يا حنوووون
Marco is a member of Nightwish (foundet 1996) since 2001. He has his own band Tarot and a project named Northern Kings. And he often performed as a singer with DelaIn. If you want to see Floor and Marco in duet listen to 'Ghost river' and 'Yours an empty hope'. If you want to hear more of Floors private life look to her channel 'Floor Jansen'. She lives in sweden with her 3 years old daughter Freya and Hannes van Dahl, the Drummer of Sabaton. I think Hannes must be a lucky guy.
Tuomas and guitarist Emppu is the original members of the band, Floor and Troy officially became members 2013 😎 You could do a reaction to "Kiss while your lips are still red" live at Wembley, and "Greatest show on earth" live at Tampere, WARNING: Song is 20min long and tears might fall by both songs 😆
If I am not mistaken her outfit is made by a fan of hers who owns, Royal Black Couture and Corsetry. You can find them on Facebook, she even did a more recent outfit for her as well.
You will love the new album Human:Nature It is a theme album so when you go there do the songs in order. All the songs are lyric video's so they are easy to follow, only the second song is a music video.
Welcome to what I consider a new benchmark of music. I love all music but this hits to much harder in all ways. It’s chaos it’s love it everything wrapped up in a beautiful melody that’s so relatable. I’m sure you’ve been told but Tuomas (spelling ??) the keyboardist is the main composer of the music. They all have their say but he keeps the music close to his chest until it’s ready for everyone’s 5 cents. Enjoy with much love!
So you should check - for Marko - Northern Kings project with covers of famous good songs - Epica and Floor - Sancta Terra - Floor and Henke Poort - Phantom of the Opera from Beste Zangers (all performances of Floor are beautiful - Winner, Shallow, Vilja Liede) - Nightwish all Wacken 2013 concert (also you should check the history of of how Floor got to become the lead singer - this concert at Wacken was after 8 months of her singing the first time with them) , Tampere concert(from which is this performance), London Concert - all Nightwish performances with Tarja Turunnen as vocalist. And you have material for reactions for a long, long time... And by the way... Keyboard player Tuomas is the magician behind almost all of their music, arrangements, performances...

If you want to listen to another great song with Marco singing, try Nightwish - Kiss while your lips are still red
Oh, I'm mentioned?!?! I'm honored! Thank you!
The Witcher 3 is a masterpiece game
Nightwish performances are also masterpiece
Thank you Arab man👌✋🇷🇸
When Floor wakes up in the morning, she goes outside and turns the Sun on.
She summons the sun, by singing.
If you have ever seen her interviewed, her smile literally lights up a room! She is a very, very special woman.
I think she is female version of Chuck Norris :)
Why can't I like this comment more than once?!? Life is unfair...☹️
We call it Floorshine and Floorset.
There is “good”... and then there is “Floor is my backing singer” good.
What he said during the missing subtitles:
"So if I sing the chorus, you gonna sing along?"
Crowd: YAAAAAAAAA
"You will?"
Crowd: WOOOOOOO
"Okay, here we go then..."
Thanks for the translation. I'd guessed it was something along those lines, but was never sure.
A true shame if we don't get to hear Marko in the future. He would truely be missed. He is part of the soul of Nightwish.
There is a saying that goes along with this song: "One might someday be cool enough to have a long, braided Viking beard. And one might someday be cool enough to have that beard AND be bassist for the greatest metal band in the world. But you'll never be cool enough to have that beard, be that bassist, AND have Floor Jansen as your BACKUP singer!"
inscribed in the ancient tomes it is

@@sixtuspettersson6059 Indeed she was - and is. And, with those closing words, I'm crying as much as at the end of the song.
A good one with Marco is « while your lips are still red «
He is with the band ( not a visitor). Floor has horses, a kid and a husband, writes music, build fences for her animals.. check out her youtube channel. She just uploaded a thing with Marco

Yes ! Check out Floor Jansen- Life of a Goddess ! That's not the name of her wonderful, personal channel...but should be. Hahaha
Marco who?
Aki Nevanoja Marco Hietala
Notice...at the end of the song, Marko doesn't stand there and bask in the applause. He just walks back to the main stage to get on with it - all business. Gotta love that.
Found your channel by accident. watched cuz of Nightwish. Stayed because you're a beautiful human being!
Haha 😅 thank you so much, you just plastered a smile on my face 😄
Yes please, listen While Your Lips Are Still Red.. After that you want to kiss your loveones..
You sweet, sweet soul of a man" - This is the most beautiful comment about Marco I´ve ever heard, from a man! You are awsome, AMR! :) And you are so right.❤️
Thinking about sitting at the campfire with him/all of them singing this song... This would be the best night of my life.
Greetings to Joey (?) in the Backroung! :D
Ps. The Witcher 3 🤘
Both Floor and Marko are wonderful people. Friendly and humble and a great sense of humor too. I had the honor of meeting both of them and love them even more since.
Welcome to the Nightwish family, Greetings from 🇫🇮, the home of Nightwish🤘
I'm Marko's age, so HOORAY!!! for the old guy. ;)
Such a beautiful performance! :)
Floor decides what she wants te wear, suitable to the music/theme of that particular concert. Her outfits are made by a professional seamstress in Austria.
And 2 lady's in Finland .
Royal Black is the company that makes most of her corsets, amazing pieces.

Scroll down and you’ll recognize quite a few that Floor has worn on stage. Especially that black and gold jaw dropper from the Buenos Aires concert in 2018. Good lord lol.
This is one of the songs composed by Marko and included in the Nightwish repertoire. Another great song composed by him is "While Your Lips Are Still Red". I recommend the version he sang at the Wembley concert in 2016 ... ua-cam.com/video/5V7PKv493Ic/v-deo.html
I really like Troy's guitar play in "While Your Lips Are Still Red". Definitely worth checking out!
Markos skills are out of charts
Many a time have I listened to this song
And equally many a time have I shed a tear.
Oh Marco.Hietala , beautiful viking, great singer metal, and Floor Jansen supreme singer metal, amazing,
NIGHTWISH ARMY
It's impossible to not love Marco.
I love your love and appreciation for the level of genius and talent this band displays in the composition, music, lyrics, vocals...I wouldn't mind grabbing a drink and listening to some Nightwish with you!
Been a nightwish fan for a while when floor came along i was not sure how it would sound..but she does her own thing and she does it with clarity and power,as for tarja she still out there and one very good duo worth a listen is Tarja Turunen - 14.The Phantom of the Opera (Act 1 DVD) got some real power to that stage.
Beautiful reaction! Please do the "HIGH HOPES" reaction with Marco singing to the extreme ...
Troy (the flutist here) has been a regular member since 2013, guest musician before that. He was asked to join at the same time as Floor. They've been using him more and more throughout the years; in Wacken 2013, he was on stage for three songs, in Buenos Aires 2018 for more than half of them. Also, his influence on the band's music and lyric has grown over the years: besides diverse whistles (low whistle here) he plays the uillean pipes (Irish bagpipes), guitar, bouzouki etc.etc. and does some singing, mostly background, two songs as lead. He has also contributed to the band becoming expressly secular (though most members are atheists anyway: Floor, Tuomas and Troy are outspoken atheists, Marko is "agnostic").
I don't know if Floor makes eggs in the morning. :) She is almost vegetarian, though, the only meat she eats is hunted elk meat from near where she lives in Sweden. What does she do all day? Right now, being visibly bored and frustrated because the band can't tour, but enjoying her forced sabbatical and the family time she didn't think she would get. If you don't already know, she lives on a small farm in southern Sweden (she is Dutch, though) with her husband (the drummer of Sabaton) and her three-year old daughter, Freja. She owns two horses and two cats and enjoys horseback riding. She also likes to work in the garden, grows her own veggies and apparently has started to write some music for a solo album. Check out her channel.
She has the basic ideas for her own outfits (no one tells a goddess how to dress!) and goes with them to a trusted designer (there are several ladies she has cooperated with), who then design and make her outfits according to her guidelines. She normally does her own stage makeup, but on this particular occasion she had help from a professional makeup artist.
Request: 7 Days to the Wolves live at Wembley, but I think I made that request already. (Floor as warrior queen.)

If you want one with yet another dynamic, try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" and pay close attention to Floor in particular... most reactors don't usually pick up what's going on!
My favorite Nightwish song. Wembley 2015, though the cruise and Tampere versions are also great.
IMHO what separates a good and a great guitarist is that the good ones plays the instrument, the great ones makes the instrument sing. It's the best explanation I've come up with to easily describe the difference.
Based on your reactions not only you have good taste (NW and W3) but you appear to be really warm hearted person. More power to you!
what voice this man has! and these videos very calm..
It is a real pleasure to watch you immerse yourself in the world of Nightwish. You are already excited .... but - believe me - it will get even better ... this is not because the next songs are better, but because you understand more of that nightwish feeling ... although, my favorite songs coming ... so try next: Storytime and then Ever Dream (both Wacken 2013).
Later than you could dive in into the world of Floor - maybe the show: Beste Zangers 2019 (that’s a show where talented singers sing a song from another one - all of them sitting on a couch and watch and listen....)
Thank you 🙏🏻 soooo much more Nightwish coming. I honestly can’t wait. Every time joe rolls the camera and gives me the name of the song and it’s Nightwish I get super excited
When I see someone applauding at the reaction, I know that they have realized the beauty of the song they are listening to. Great reaction. Another one anyway.
That is called feeling my friend, when a guitarrist puts a pasion on it, its called like that,and its beautiful
Marko is so cool. I've met him three times and he is so genuine and down to Earth. 😁 They all are. It's great to see you on this Nightwish journey. 🤘💜🤘
Welcome to the amazing world of Nightwish! May your journey be blessed and joyful! Nightwish is my favorite band and I think that Floor Jansen is probably the best female vocalist on the earth right now. And also welcome to the Nightwish army! It is so wonderful to have added another member! Stay on your journey and enjoy the ride!
I think the most powerful moment of this song comes at 5:35. Right there, that smile spread across Marko's face... well, that just says it all, don't you think? Pure joy...
Hey, Arab Man. You're really in the big time when you have Floor Jansen singing backup for you, huh? To answer your question, when Floor wakes up she does some gardening, works out her horses, chops wood, builds fences, does some cleaning, and then has breakfast. After that she gets some work done. Cool reaction, brother. I recommend "Song of Myself", same show, or "Seven Days to the Wolves", from Wembley Arena. Peace and good health. :)
Neal! I can't wait for stroytime #3 to come out. Will add songs to Joe's list
@@ArabManReacts Yeah, God only knows what she'll be up to next. Probably building a house or a barn or something. Maybe even brokering peace in the Middle East, who knows with Floor. Good to hear from you, brother. :)
I loved that comparison between ''The Witcher lll'' and ''Nightwish'', haha, my favorite video game and my favorite band! Absolutely amazing!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
For Marco You must watch High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) live with Nightwish or anything with his own band Tarot!!!!!
Ahhh, you've only just begun with Nightwish and their army!
Floor has SO many facets to her vocal range and styles! She's sweet and beautiful, she's raw and wicked and she GROWLS! There's nothing she can't do!
A couple more songs for you to check out are Song of Myself, Romanticide and Storytime from the Wacken concert. She also did a tv show called Beste Zangers where she sang not only songs from different genres, but she also sang different languages!
It's a lot to take in, and a very deep rabbit hole, but you seem to have jumped in with both feet, so enjoy the ride!!
Glad to be part this Nightwish journey while learning things about your culture/language
You could play the guitar flawlessly in this part, but its those accents Marko does that makes it so great to me. It gives a feel to it
Marko is a bit of the wizard singing and strumming, is he not?
Floot is the SIren Valkyrie.
Then you have the Shredder,
The Banger,
The Whistler,
and Tomas the Mad Genius Composer putting it all together!
All together they conscript and slay thousands!
The Nightwish Army
Hi I’m loving that nighwish has reached all parts of the globe. They are so awesome. Might I suggest, ‘dark chest of wonders’ ?
Spectacular song 😎
Marco is by himself a major star in Finland. like outside of nightwish..
He has god tier status.. for good reason..
🇫🇮😁🤘🎶🎸👍...Finntastic🤘
You have done only(JESSSSH😁)Nightwish reactions. Keep Them coming....everytime you get. 120% quaranteed that you wount be dissapointed 😁🇫🇮🤘
🤘💜🤘 The guy on the pipe is Troy. He became an official member of the band in October of 2013... same as Floor. Floor said since being on home isolation, she enjoys making meals for her husband & daughter.😎
The Islander Official music video is also worth a watch. It was Nightwish's first use of Troy (pipes), and iz so very good.
If you want to hear another by Marco, I recommend 'While your Lips are still Red". ^.-.^
This man is so in love with Floor, it's adorable! I feel you, bud!
I discovered Nightwish one day when I was looking for study music, so I decided to put the Wacken 2013 show on my TV, as I had heard of them before, so why not? Well, so much for that! Far from focusing on my vector calculus, all I could do was stare, slackjawed, at this stunningly beautiful dark angel, with a voice to match. Who was she? What sorcery was she casting on me? I was hooked!
Did you pass your test????
@@ArabManReacts Yup!
Troy...guy playing the flute...is a permanent member. He had only just gained that status shortly before the Wacken 2013 show you’ve been sampling, so only appears a tiny bit in those videos. As you watch videos from subsequent shows, his presence will become more pervasive. He plays flute, whistles, bagpipes, bouzouki, guitar, and is emerging as a third vocalist. When you watch I Want My Tears Back from the Wacken 2013 show you’ll see/hear him playing the pipes. Oh, and Floor has a personal channel where she’s been showing what she does in everyday life.
i want my tears back i second that ....but..... you need safety belts at your seat so you dont destroy something while watching
@@ronnyseffinga7950 lol Ronny :)
Thank you Captain Chris!
They are actually uilleann pipes, not bagpipes.
André Somers Uilleann pipes are a type of bagpipe, just like other types of bagpipes such as border pipes, Highland pipes, pastoral pipes, Scottish small pipes, Zetland pipes, etc etc etc. They all use air blown across reeds by use of a bag. But yes, since being hyper specific seems important to you, the BAGPIPES Troy plays are, specifically, Uilleann pipes.
Thank you for antoher reaction! Please react to Nightwish: "Ever Dream", "Ghost River" or "Romanticide" from Wacken 2013. Thank you!
Troy (flute, irish pipe, vocal) is a permanent member. Check out "My Walden" same location live in Tampere and for sure "Greatest Show on Earth"
Something hard: "Romanticide" or "Devil & The Dark Deep Ocean" or "Yours is an empty hope" and and and and
Nightwish Army tells you where you should listen too
As usual another great song by Nightwish

This should keep you busy for a while ;-)
That part where you were asking where the subtitles were, he said something along the lines of, "If I do the chorus, will you all sing along? You will? Let's go!" (I don't actually speak Finnish, but I saw it deep in the comments on the video.)
Dear beautiful human, this your best reaction, thank you... I have listened to this version on every reaction chanel.... warm hug from a stranger from the Netherlands ❤
Love to you from Beirutttt ❤️❤️❤️
What I have personally knows about Nightwish and all their songs the reason they're so good is everything they do is in service to the music not to themselves. There is only the joy of making great music and you see it in everything they do.
Side now if you want to see how versatile floor can truly be check her out on best of zangers.
Arab Man, great reaction site! You have reacted to the first leg of the Holy Trinity of NightWish performances, time to finish up with the Poet and the Pendulum, then complete with The Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere! You may not have the words to express your inner feelings!
It's funny you should mention drunk on a boat. Check out "yours is an empty hope" on the .......ready for this.....Nightwish cruise
Yes please dive into the universe of Nightwish!
I love you. I love your sweet, sweet humanity. I love your gentle attitude and behavior.
And you're a damn good music/video, reactor. You have much to teach us about the music we share. You immerse us within your knowledgeable essence, wave to wave as to be one with us in this universe of oceans of words and notes 🎶 we share.
🌊 I love your positive wave energy.
Thank you for your gentle kindness.✌️
Great reaction!!! Everyone in Nightwish is super talented and that is Troy on the flute and is a permanent member of the band since 2013
Marco and Floor do a beautiful duet at Christmas time in Finland of Ave Maria. Gorgeous.
What I love about everyone in the band is, that they all dedicate their talent to the music, to the song. There is no intention, to show off. If Floor's voice is needed for the song, to backup Marco, she does it and enjoys it, for the love of the music. Everyone does. Check out the acoustic versions of "How's the Heart" and "Nemo". There is Troy, backing her up and the vocal harmonies are just beautiful. The new album "Human :II: Nature" makes use of all three singers, Floor, Marco and Troy, and it is full of great vocal harmonies.
All the marvelous-ness going on in this video, masterclass from Marko. And I had to replay a bit cause I needed to checkout his pants ....... yep, they look good. As for the cup of coffee - yep and get Floor to sing the menu cause even that would be a hit.
Must be a good feeling singing there alone and having such a band and Floor Jansen as backing vocalist...!
Thanks for another great reaction! I am really enjoying your clips!
_"Gorgeous bunch of people doing gorgeous things!"_ I couldn't have said it better myself 😃 It's a bit of a cliché claiming that this or that piece of music is "a journey", but when it comes to Nightwish I really feel that holds true. I can lose myself in their music and these days (I recently returned to Nightwish after a 12 year long "break") I _never_ put their music on in the background. I always make listening to their music a dedicated activity. At times, this leads to what I more or less feel is a transcendental experience. This is the power of _truly_ good music; the ability to transport you into a different world.
Yes, I completely agree regarding your comment on being "tasteful". This goes for any musician, really - vocalists, drummers and what have you. For instance, David Gilmour (another favourite musician of mine) might not be the most technically advanced guitarist out there, but he's able to channel his soul through his instrument and that makes a world of difference!
While I'm a Swede with a rather rudimentary grasp of Finnish pronunciations, "Tampere" is pronounced more like "TAM-peh-reh". The "a" in Nordic countries tend to be open, in this case more like the beginning of "eye". I hope that I'm not nitpicking here 😊 Edit: Oh and as a rule-of-thumb, all letters in Finnish words tend to be pronounced seperately. For instance, the first Finnish word Floor learned was (perhaps not surprisingly) "perkele", one of the most common Finnish swear words 😁 It's not pronounced "perkeel" or something like that, but rather "PERR-keh-leh".
I was going to add that the emphasis is usually on the first syllable as well. Finnish is so beautiful. As is Swedish :) And Arabic. My one superpower wish would be to be fluent in every language.
Listen to their cover of Pink Floyd's song High Hope, Live End of an era from 2005. Also sung by Marco
Just to let you know, Floor has a UA-cam channel and she is doing special on it. Marco was her first guest this past weekend. The guy playing the pipes is Troy, he joined the band right after Floor JANSEN joined.
I think you are finally ready to tackle Nightwish's "The Greatest Show on Earth Live at Tempare" This same concert. It is a long one but DEFINITELY worth it, and it definitely helps to have the lyrics up on a separate monitor or to read over them before you watch it though to have a fuller idea of what the song is about.
I like the spot on Arabic (sorry if pronounced/said it incorrectly) words. The translations are so good (I'm Finnish)
Good one.
I loved your reaction! Marco is immensely talented, I recommend their cover of "High Hopes", it's amazing and Marco really shines there!
Thank you! Added to the list 🙏🏻❤️
I'm always so happy to find a new reaction channel! And to Nightwish as well
So glad you reacted to this song. Marko has always been the subtle backbone of the band for me. The man can do everything and I'm ecstatic that you discovered him so soon in your Nightwish journey. Even when he isn't the focus of the song, you can still hear everything he's doing to tie the song together if you listen for it. Thanks for this wonderful reaction my friend! Welcome to the Nightwish Army!
From the same show, gotta do The Greatest Show On Earth. Marco would have a cup of coffee, Finns drink a lot of coffee and I mean a lot!
I THINK the word you were looking for "tasteful" is delicate? great reaction. Thank you!
I love the little animations you add to your videos. 😂 Thank You for entertaining us during these crazy times.
All credit goes to Joey. ❤️🙏🏻
@@ArabManReacts Then my Thanks to Joey. 😁
Yep, of course she picks her own clothes! She is amazing!
That instrument was built for Marko, they call it "the beast". It's a Warwick bass and a Framus semi-hollow body guitar built into one. Marko went to music school, he studied singing, theory and classical guitar.
Fantastic reaction - love your takes and obvious enjoyment and appreciation for what’s going on. Floor and Marko are both forces of nature in their own right - when they harmonize it is just otherworldly. I think Marco needs a “Floor Jansen is my back-up singer” t-shirt 🤣
Also, regarding Floor’s daily life - check out her UA-cam channel. She has been sharing a lot with her fans there. The new “Storytime” series (two episodes so far) is just fantastic. You will love her even more. Just an incredibly down-to-earth and fantastic human being who just happens to be able to melt your brain with her voice.
This sounded like a country song , you know, everybody sitting around the camp fire and listening to this story being told in song and after a while join in? That's the feeling I got. Absolutely sweet and charming. Very unlike the usual Nightwish repertoire. And that shows the range of the band's talent. They could do anything and make it sound fantastic.
First and foremost: thank you very much for these very nice reaction-videos! What a joy to watch you discover the wonderful world of Nightwish. I promise you: no wasted time 😉. Of course there are songs from them, which I like more and some I like less - but a "bad" song I really never heard from them. I listened to them 20 years ago, but after I had gotten a family and my life became more mainstream, I lost them out of sight. Two and a half years ago I had nightshift (I'm a police-officer from Frankfurt am Main / Germany) and a colleague watched UA-cam-Videos while there wasn't something to do (it was a really quiet night). He watched the whole Wacken 2013 live concert, and I was blown away by Floor (in my opinion is Wacken 2013 the gold-standard of doing a live performance). Her range, her stage presence. And now, you gave me the opportunity to rediscover them again through your eyes. Your videos give me the same jaw-dropping feeling I had. Thank you for that. As I said: nice work, fantastic reactions. Please keep on going, you won't be disappointed. I recommend every song from Wacken 2013, Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018. Greetings from Germany 👌✌
I call Floor - Zina, because she reminds me a peaceful warrior somehow. She is amazing, all the others are great too. I would like to recommend you to react to one of the greatest singer. His name is Dimash and i would start with " SOS" from the Chinese show " the Singer". Thank you for your special reactions!
Hi Elena! Will do, We've gotten a bunch of recommendations about Dimash. Thank you!
I recommend from the same concert, the "Greatest Show on Earth" (tune in to the end as there are speaking parts, too)
Also, their "Music" is amazing
Check out Nightwish - While your lips are still red - Live at Wembley
Also pretty much everything from Wacken 2013 from the band. Songs like Ever dream, Song of myself, Storytime, Ghost River, Romanticide, Dark Chest of Wonders, Last Ride of the Day and acoustic version of How's the Heard and Nemo with Floor and Marko at the guitar. And if you like that, check out "The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere 2015" (for this song you need to do some research before, so you know what this one is about and you need to listen it until very end, even after the credits roll). Have fun!
Thank you!
Just thought id drop another line Try out Dead Boys Poem Live In Buenos Aries 2018 Bring Tissue Im voting we change the Big 3 to the Big 4
Great reaction bro, as for the 'acoustic' sounding guitar, that's because Marco has no distortion on his guitar, that's called a clean tone, and as for that sensation or 'مزوق' as you've said when playing guitar, most guitar players refer to it as the 'feel'. Also, the one playing the flute is a member of Nightwish, he's Nightwish's guitarist Emppu, Keep up the great reactions يا حنوووون
I like the live version of this song much better than the studio version, much better tempo. Also, nice Ovation there in the background!
Marco is a member of Nightwish (foundet 1996) since 2001. He has his own band Tarot and a project named Northern Kings. And he often performed as a singer with DelaIn.
If you want to see Floor and Marco in duet listen to 'Ghost river' and 'Yours an empty hope'.
If you want to hear more of Floors private life look to her channel 'Floor Jansen'. She lives in sweden with her 3 years old daughter Freya and Hannes van Dahl, the Drummer of Sabaton. I think Hannes must be a lucky guy.
Tuomas and guitarist Emppu is the original members of the band, Floor and Troy officially became members 2013 😎 You could do a reaction to "Kiss while your lips are still red" live at Wembley, and "Greatest show on earth" live at Tampere, WARNING: Song is 20min long and tears might fall by both songs 😆
If I am not mistaken her outfit is made by a fan of hers who owns, Royal Black Couture and Corsetry. You can find them on Facebook, she even did a more recent outfit for her as well.
the last part where the whole band joins is pure honey. It's....dunno...everything?
Peace =)
You will love the new album Human:Nature
It is a theme album so when you go there do the songs in order.
All the songs are lyric video's so they are easy to follow, only the second song is a music video.
I can't wait for your reaction of the new album by nightwish!
Marco's bass/guitar is a custom Warwick Infinity/Panthera he had made. Its a one off.
Thank you Captain!
So... Have you played any Nightwish songs on your radio station already? :-D
Welcome to what I consider a new benchmark of music. I love all music but this hits to much harder in all ways. It’s chaos it’s love it everything wrapped up in a beautiful melody that’s so relatable. I’m sure you’ve been told but Tuomas (spelling ??) the keyboardist is the main composer of the music. They all have their say but he keeps the music close to his chest until it’s ready for everyone’s 5 cents.
Enjoy with much love!
So you should check
- for Marko - Northern Kings project with covers of famous good songs
- Epica and Floor - Sancta Terra
- Floor and Henke Poort - Phantom of the Opera from Beste Zangers (all performances of Floor are beautiful - Winner, Shallow, Vilja Liede)
- Nightwish all Wacken 2013 concert (also you should check the history of of how Floor got to become the lead singer - this concert at Wacken was after 8 months of her singing the first time with them) , Tampere concert(from which is this performance), London Concert
- all Nightwish performances with Tarja Turunnen as vocalist.
And you have material for reactions for a long, long time...
And by the way... Keyboard player Tuomas is the magician behind almost all of their music, arrangements, performances...
