I'm not the kind of guy that likes covers of Pink Floyd songs but I actually like this better than the original.
It's a music track that really shows that Marko is also a talented singer, who easily could be the lead singer in a world-class band. There's just so much talent in Nightwish 🙂
Nightwish doesn't do anything innovative? Yes, they do a lot of heavier stuff, but they do more variety than almost any other band, they experiment more than most other bands, etc. I don't know that it is possible to truly be "innovative" in music, but they are the band that is the closest to that word on the planet.
Forgive them, for they do not know
I didn't quite understand that comment. Is it just that he's not very familiar with Nightwish, or maybe metal in general? If you're not familiar with a genre much can sound the same. But Nightwish is so diverse.
Well, Floor would not have sung, even if they did not opt for Marko to leadsing this, as this was in 2005/End of an Era. Which was still Tarja era Nightwish, some 7 years before Floor joined.
TerranigmaQuintet - This song fits Marko perfectly. I couldn't imagine Floor or Tarja singing this.
That guitar solo is SICK. The tap sliding.
from someone that love the original, but not really a fan of Nightwish, after first time listening to this - what a great performance! I am pleasantly surprised :) bassist beard dude has an epic voice and I enjoyed the "metal converted" solo.
That dude really can sing!!!
Love this cover, I like it more than the original 🤘😃
Great! Marco did an amazing job (again, as always) as a singer.
Yay! I'm obsessed with this cover. Thanks for coming back to check out more Nightwish!
Jack Sparrow really? Tuomas is a songwriting genius fondly known as the Metal Mozart to many
I prefer this version even though yes it’s a cover from a compositional standpoint because I just found the bell very monotonous in the Pink Floyd original, not saying it’s bad but I prefer the keyboards from Tuomas.
Emppu (guitarist) is underrated as f whether he’s playing classic or d tuning.
You should try symphony of destruction Megadeth cover by Nightwish it’ll melt your face off.
This is perhaps my favorite post Waters Floyd tune, and I really enjoy this alternate take on it. Vive la différence!
Love this cover! And love Pink Floyd. Saw them once and Roger Water's tour twice. Phenomenal shows!
Instantly clicked when i saw you had a new Nightwish reaction 🤗
End of an Era, 2005 concert, the one after which they parted ways with their first vocalist, Tarja Turunen. So it was a long, long time before she came around. Also, Captain Jack Sparrow on the keyboards is Tuomas, Nightwish founder, lead composer and lyricist, so he will always be there. Bassist's name is Marco Hietala.
Typical of Nightwish to do it better than the original. I certainly gave Tarja time for a costume change and a pee. Emppu had a good work-out too.
I seriously like this version better than the PF one
Me too
same
"End of an era", that concert was awesome...perfect!
I love Marko's voice. He's such a story teller. Just the way he carries himself too.
I really bloody love this
Not innovative isn't the right description. You realize they were making music since 1996. They pioneered the symphonic metal genre.
This is great cover. Marco's voice is magnificent. This song is from the Division Bell album, which was so called "wrong albums", cause it's not The Wall and made in 80's, but I love that Pink Floyd album.
hello Pasi, I suppose that you live in Finland at the moment, we haven't heard finnish metal on Jim's channel for a long time. I was wondering if you could send him a great metal finnish album, with lyrics in finnish, you know like Kotiteollisuus or something "exotic" like that. I live in Montreal and there's nothing in finnish here, not even a dictionnary.
@@gabiesiren So, Canada, the other Finland! 😊 Only you have more forest per capita, than we in Finland. Canada is definitely on my bucket list! I need to ask Jim his address. I wonder if he'll play CDs on his channel any more? 🤔
@@pasit1738 Jim's address is the PO box that he puts in every new video. Do you still have vinyl records in Finland? I haven't been there since 2011. I'm sure a finnish metal cd will interest him and everybody else !
@@pasit1738 you know Pasi, I've noticed that Finland has been cutting more and more trees to make room for new buildings. Here we demolish old ones to build new ones on the same spot, or we sacrifice parking lots to build over them.
@@gabiesiren Yep, we do. The bands are releasing them as special versions of their albums. I guess people do want to have something more to their music experience, like it used to be, not just megabites of music. I certainly have all my old and some new LP's and the LP player of course!
TRIBUTE !!
great reaction as always!!
Welcome back-Jim....Hopefully, you will review more from this amazing band....Floor Jansen has this band on another level... Songs you have not done that are quite worthy-- Storytime, EverDream and Last Ride of the Day( Wacken), Shudder Before the Beautiful( Wembley arena), Sleeping Sun( Tampere)--- Thank You ...
"7 days to the wolves" !!!!! Live at Wembley in 2015 !!!
Wow!!! A great metal version!!!
This isn't a cover of Pink Floyd. It is way beyond that. This is on a level such as what Heart did for Led Zeppelin. This is a major rendition of the Pink Floyd song. Purists may not approve, but I read that Pink Floyd did. This is a production well worthy of the original. Pink Floyd is a major great band of all time, just as Nightwish is also.
I've heard that David Gilmore even put this rendition up on his Twitter page.
Welcome back on the Nightwish path again.. That's from 2005 and it's from the Tarja era so no Floor singing in this one even if they have put a female vocal here..
But you can check Weak Fantasy(can't remember you have done it) live at Tampere or Bravalla let say..🤘
Seeing Jukka in visible pain during this song breaks my heart. Poor guy suffering from migraine through the whole show. KUDOS.
It's been a while :) I've always enjoyed your Nightwish reactions. You may be pleased to know that another live DVD is coming out on December 6th, so plenty of new performances to react to, plus a new album coming out next year :)
Brace yourself, Floor Jansen has been on a Dutch TV show singing her heart out and amazing reactors all over the world, so expect lot's of requests for Beste Zangers 2019. I'll kick off with Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom of the Opera
Beste zangers, beste zangers, beste zangers...
Marko Hietala (from NIGHTWISH) "Stones" (new)!
Hi Jim Personally I love you album reactions I watch many reaction videos from other sites and yours are by far the best for me. Other sites hsve lots of breaks in them for copy write reasons and are sometime full of silly chit chat during the album. Love the idea about about following a artist history, that would be fun, also a idea is a instrument week/ month.
But keep up the great work jim🤘👍
It was done as a tribute to Floyd. Damn well done I think! Nightwish does not copy other music. They make it their own. This was done so that at the time Tarja could change clothes. By the way his name is Marko Hietala, not wobbly beard. A little respect? You would not want people to call you something similar. Would you?
Obviously his name isn't Wobbly Beard, but it would be so cool if it was, huh? Not sure he's too worried about Mr Baldy here calling him Wobbly Beard - I'm sure he has a sense of humour, don't you?
This was from 2005, the original singer Tarja was fired immediately after this show.
Check out anything Floor sang on from her appearance on the Dutch reality show Beste Zangers (Best Singers).
Well that was worth waiting for Jim! I throw this song at people who say that Nightwish is just the front singer... there have been plenty of Pink Floyd fans who have reviewed this and said it was better than the original. Come back to Nightwish! The army of Nightwish fans has grown... and they are about to land on your channel!
If you like more subtle Nightwish, I invite you to check their last album, especially the track "endlessness" :)
You are looking good Jim. This song was in Tarja's era in 2005. She was back stage changing outfits. Tuomas the keyboard player and composer said it was not a cover but a tribute to Pink Floyd. They are his favorite band. I am still listening to Marillion because of you. Take care............. :-)
Hi Ann, long time no see! How're you? Thanks for dropping by :)
@@JimNewstead Hi Jim! It has been a rough year health wise. I have dropped by a few times over the year and I will continue to do so.............. :-)
Saying nightwish is not innovative when they litterally stand out so much. It makes No sence, they Are not just another metal band. They Are actually paving the way for symphonic rock. And have been doing that for years...
Keep in mind that this was a psychological painfull concert for all the male members because it was the last concert with Tarja who did not know that after the concert there was a letter ready in her room saying that nightwish stops working with her. Also the drummer was ill.
Back once again with the Pelican requests. Come on Jim take a chance on a smaller band and check them out. This is a fine place to start th-cam.com/video/gAvDwehRPsU/w-d-xo.html and then there's a whole lot more.
Did I mention it's instrumental? A bit prog, a bit groove, a lot heavy and a fantastic listen.
Jack Sparrow IS Nightwish, being that he's the founder and songwriter of the band. Only 2 original members remain. As for innovation, I think back in the late 90s they were the first to do "opera metal" and later became "soundtrack score metal". It would not be metal if they did not create their own sub-genre ))))
" Only 2 original members remain" .....???
Nightwish first met in Kitee in 1996. At that time, the band had three members: keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, singer Tarja Turunen and guitarist Erno “Emppu” Vuorinen.
---> at the beginning 3 members, now "only" 2 original members, yes u are right
@@Huckfinn37 A band without a rhythm section is a stretch, so at least give me Jukka and Angels Fall First lineup )))))
@@npinjest7779 Jukka joined the band in 1997 and "Angels Fall First" was released in November of the same year.
That is, in this lineup (High hopes) then there would be 3 members of origin, not just two.....
@@npinjest7779 In the beginning there was only acoustic guitar, keyboards and vocals. The idea was originally to play acoustic mood music, by no means metal music. The following year, the acoustic guitar was replaced with an electric guitar and drums also came along.
@@Huckfinn37 I am familiar with the history, I just tend to ignore the less pertinent parts. NW is a metal band and metal requires a distorted guitar, so the brief acoustic phase is curious, but ultimately a footnote. Pick up electric guitar and add a drummer? Now you've got yourself a metal band. Add a bass player and release a killer sophomore album and you are no longer a footnote)))) I suspect even TH thinks everything before Oceanborn was gestation.))))
The synthetic bell sound is so Vangelis, somehow :D
To be honest. It's hard to be innovative in the music business nowadays. There is hardly anything you can do, which hasn't be done by someone else before.
Besides. I don't really agree with you. I don't know any other band that does songs like "Ghost Love Score", "The Poet and the Pendulum", "The Greatest Show on Earth" or even smaller songs like Scaretale: th-cam.com/video/5EmpS8E7d30/w-d-xo.html
So at least they are unique and to be unique you have to be at least a little bit innovative i think.
I agree with him that Nightwish isn't that innovative, Tuomas is an amazing composer but I bet he would be the first to admit that he has walked in the footsteps of those that came before him whether it be the proto-symphonic metal bands that paved the way or the movie score composers that he obviously admires.
But that said it doesn't take away from the uniqueness of his own composing style, and Nightwish is pretty firmly at the top of their own niche so nowadays Nightwish is definitely the one influencing other bands and not the other way around.
Everybody walks in the footsteps of those who came before them. That's actually the definition of innovation.
Nobody is re-inventing music from scratch. The invention part is over.
PS: And if you are saying that songs like the ones i named are not innovative, than it should be easy for you to name similar ones, that already exist by other bands.
In my view, everything that's unique must be innovative.
My second favorite band with a song from my most favorite band😋
I prefer the original song but this one is very good. David Gilmour plays a more complex sound out of his guitar.
Have a look for Floor at ‘Beste Zangers’.
Welcome back to the Nightwish army Jim. Check out Floor on the Dutch show Beste Zangers.
Gilmour plays that first solo on a nylon string guitar and the second solo is on a slide lap guitar, so it gives the song a much more thoughtful and airy feel, along with Gilmour's more soothing vocals, it's a song of reminiscence. This version is more harsh and darker. Like the moments being sung about don't hold the most pleasant of memories.
Your ceiling looks dope! 👍🏼😆
Thanks for another great vid.
But you know what I’m going to say next..........
Mars Volta anyone?
The first thing I noticed was the patern in the ceiling, it reminded me of a great plasterer I knew and a very missed friend...
Mark Schattefor
It’s something I actually do in my job, but the “geisha” style used on Jim’s ceiling is a difficult technique to master and look uniform. Very nice work! 👍🏽
@@Sir_Blobfish Here you can see him in one of his last performances, he was also a musician, guitar and vocals
You almost immediately showed you know nothing about this band. And singing over Marco is an affront. You couldn't hold his jock sttrap.
Nice.... but why would I want to hold his jock strap? I agree, I do know very little about Nightwish.... that’s kinda the point in my videos. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Hello Jim, welcome back! This was recorded back in 2005 and proved to be the last performance of Tarja Turunen (their original singer). Floor officially joined in 2013. I enjoyed your recent reaction to the Steve Rothery Band and I wondered whether you would consider reacting to Marillion's 'Gaza'? Of all the reactors that I have seen, you would be the only one that I would trust to view the track with objectivity and sensitivity. I do hope so. Thank you. Cheers Kevin
th-cam.com/video/uaBVTtt53FA/w-d-xo.html Incidentally, here is the link to the best live recording. Thanks
Great video :) keep up the great work!
some song suggestions
Rivers of Nihil - Where owls know my name
Killer be Killed - any song really
More Mastodon!
New Leprous album just came out. Pretty fantastic. I recommend you check out Distant Bells.
Can't go wrong with Nightwish, can one? Quality! Please try Cyborg Octopus: Baptism of Clay. Technical and melodic.
That great Singer is Marko Hietala...pls. learn the names of these guys cause the are the backbone of this band. By the way...current female singer Floor was not even close to be a member of this band during this awesome show in 2005...the original singer Tarja was and there was Anette between. But yes....this song does not need any female singer.
Hi thanks for the shout out.
Something for you to check out.
Treet your self by checking out floor jansen singing on a Dutch TV show called beste zangers over about seven weeks . different from what she usually sings .
*Dream theater - Breaking All Illusions Live at the Boston opera house*
I would like to hear Storytime live pleaseeeeee
Are you familiar with Floor's pre-Nightwish work? Given your apparent preference for progressive metal, you might find interesting After Forever, the first band she joined and spent 12 years with, and ReVamp, the band she started. After Forever is a progressive take on "symphonic" metal, whereas ReVamp was a leaner progressive metal built around Floor's vocal ability.
Pedantic, but oh well))) I was comparing current lineup to their original 5-member lineup from when NW became 5-member band for Oceanborn - original vocal, keyboard, guitar, drums, and base. Yes, Jukka was not around that campfire or on the acoustic demo, and Vanska was not on Angels Fall First.. Beatles did not start out as foursome either))))
Hey Jim thanks for the video, great cover as you said it was a lot fuller than the Floyd version but I don't want to annoy the Nightwish fans and say I prefer the original. Ohh I just did, doesn't mean to say I don't like this version :)
My suggestions as always.
The Faceless - Autothiest Movement part 1 to 3
Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence disk two
again maybe
CCR- I Put A Spell on You (something a bit different)
Hello Jim, 2 years, 7 months and 16 days without Nightwish on your channel. Should I send you some Nightwish cds so you can play them, please please !
Always nice to spot a “do do”. 😆
This tribute to the greatest band ever is amazing. Thank you.
Cool camera setting. I've always wanted to look other people in the nostrils.
I know.... wasn't really the plan! Sorry for that :)
I would be very interested to see you react to lacuna coil Layers of time official video
Also on their brand new album Black Anima song Vinificium is my new favorite it is so different from anything this band had done before.
Jimbo, loved it! Jakob - Malachite (studio version) please. \m/
#metalmozart dude!
Hi Jim! Long time no see :)
Eh jim check out thrawsunblat's she who names the stars when you can
This was a performance 8 years before Floor joined the band so ya no Floor and even pre Anette lol
I've listened to Floyd since the mid 60s when they started they killed this song, you need to check out the story's of the songs then you'll understand them better it's called symphonic metal, this song was before Floor & about 15 years ago, I've seen Maiden, Metallica Uria Heep, little Richard, Jerry lee Lewis all live over the years! Yes I'm that Old these are a fantastic band to see/hear perform.
Im a little sad that Floor didnt make an appearance, even as backing vocals. This era of Floyd had some great backing female vocals.
Floor wasn't in the band at that time. This live show is from the Tarja era.
@@emanuelsolsjo7348 Oh thanks! I wasnt aware of the recording date. But still, if you have a powerhouse like Tarja at your disposal.....
Just follow your heart...
Tool - Eon Blue Apocalypse/The Patient. It's time, Jim.
I recommend Gojira - Lowlands
Get on Leprous' new album Pitfalls Jimmy boy.
I think if you listen again, you'll find a lot of poignancy and hidden subtlety in Marco's singing here.
Funny, Jim. I searched and couldn't find Poet and the Pendulum. Still can't find it. YT must have deleted it!
Xenophon th-cam.com/video/u3w2UIop9no/w-d-xo.html
wait are you related to Jason Newstead ?
I wish!
So you didn't really care for Nightwish sound then ? Bc you did a few and then haven't listened in years? ( At the time of this comment anyways)
I have listened to plenty of Nightwish - I have bought quite a few records and listen to them away from the camera. The videos are usually for first listens. Suggest a song and if I've not heard it I'll give it a go!
Amazing reaction!
Nightwish Army !
Floor sings this so much better than tarja and Anette
