Not only is there no ego there, you can see Floor was SO pleased for Marko… letting him have center stage and the limelight. That smile of hers at the end could have melted Antarctica.
see your smile, it warms it all!
It came from deep! your not enjoying, you are experiencing!
You, WHen you open yourselves, each page is beautifull!
There are many facets to Marko's voice. He has power, plus control and technique. The Marko/Floor era of Nightwish is really something else. It is exceedingly rare to be able to hear two such accomplished singers in one band at the same time.
I saw Marco live last weekend and his voice is even more astonishing when you hear it in person
@@themetalmuse Oh, I am green with envy!
@@themetalmuse I was also live with Marko and Tarja last weekend. Hearing and experiencing him up close in a small location was simply great... and there were a few great duets with Tarja to boot
Marco has so beautiful voice 😊💕
True!
Marko has such an awesome voice and he's such a gifted singer.. great support from Floor too..
Saw him live last weekend and you’re not wrong!!! I couldn’t believe how good he was such a seasoned professional.
The best Islander version Nightwish has ever played.
👍 agreed 👍
Hey Yes, You are back dear Lady on Nightwish, Yes the Tampere show is indeed very special, and the big one TGSOE is just so good words fail me, and it will be the same for you when you see it. Thank You Lady, Oh and You Rock big time♥
Thank you 🙏 😘
I love Floor's professionalism in this song where she sings back up vocals and never overpowers Marko. We all know she can, but she actually just sings her part. I have massive respect for the comfort of the band to do this.
Also, Marko is the biggest metalhead of the band, yet at the time his bandmates point out in many interviews that he writes the sweetest and softest songs.
He did some amazing soft ballad tribal songs at his show last week and no joke his voice is amazing. Such a pro!
@@themetalmuse I can only imagine the experience you had during that night. So happy that you got to see Marko right up close and I wouldn't even be surprised if you get to see him again!
I have some doubts about Floor x Marko competition, I can't define who would overpower who if both try it... Both are monster singers...
@@sleeepwalk Floor by a mile. She's also the biggest metalhead btw. From her days with After Forever already, she was well known for being the ultimate test for the sound engineers, due to the crazy dynamics she brings. A sound techie perfectly described his own Floor-test experience, in the comments section of a ReVamp video (I believe). Speaking of which, her Revamp videos may go some ways to build the case that she's able to blow anyone off the stage. Which is why it's so nice to see how she never tries to outshine any vocalist sharing the floor with her.
Fantastic version, and I really loved your reaction as I always do. The music video to this is also pretty special, very atmospheric and well worth checking out 🤘
There is also a making of video for the music video, which is impressive. The location was difficult, and how they mixed in the cgi elements was interesting. This song is also the inspiration for the virtual concert venue created for the 2021streamed virtual concerts at the Islanders Arms.
The music video inspired far more than one person to comment “Nightwish don’t sit around campfires. Campfires sit around Nightwish.”
If anyone’s not aware, Marko originally wrote this song (lyrics assist by Tuomas). When he left the band, I thought it BEAUTIFUL how they themed their virtual show
“An Evening With Nightwish - Live in a Virtual World”. The “venue” was an inn named The Islander Arms. Likewise, the visual elements and stylings of the venue backdrops all had that fantasy kind of steam-punk look to them, very similar to the original video. What a beautiful tribute to their dear friend!!!!
@@ecbftl I didn’t mean to post basically the same thing. We must have been posting at pretty much the same time. I posted mine and yours showed up…
@@jeffk1482 no problem, we both said similar, but complimentary things. Thanks for your added info. The venue was definately Steam Punk inspired, and if you look closely you will see that the parked blimp is named: The Spirit of Punk
It would have been designed before Marko decided to leave. It was a shame he did not get to play in it.
@@ecbftl Now I have to go back and look for that!
this song is a prime example of them being compositional geniuses
Thank you for helping me hype for December 14th. Flying to Tampere to watch Raskasta Joulua, a big christmas concert with Marko and 13 other rock musicians. This made me check the calendar for how many days it's left :)
Welcome 😊 i'm there too 🤘An amazing concert, and a must see every year.
The music video for this - Nightwish was so hot, the campsfire sat around them!
One of the joys of Nightwish is that you do get this variety. This is my son's favourite NW song, though the whole family loves it!
🥰🥰🥰
..such a long time!...❤❤❤😊
If you really want to see the truth of their relationship, watch them perform "Ava Maria". They've done it twice, so watch the one where Floor is wearing the white dress. See Marco's reaction at the end ... it's completely priceless!
I will 🤗
@@themetalmuse I'd love to see how you react to the ending, just after they finish. It's priceless. Much love to you!
There is an unofficial version of this with an extended beginning in which Marko sets the scene before starting to sing:-
Nightwish - The Islander (Live At Tampere) : th-cam.com/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/w-d-xo.html
You are correct. This is one of only a small handful of Nightwish songs that aren't "metal". Another would be "While Your Lips are Still Red", also featuring Marko (which I believe you have seen from the Wembley show). There is also the song "Slow, Love, Slow" from their "Imaginaerum" album. Total departure from their usual stuff. There is a music video as well as a live performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Both feature Annette, the singer on the studio recording. Floor Jansen also performs "Slow, Love, Slow" during her solo show in Amsterdam in 2021. Check her YT channel for all the songs from that show.
Wonderful to se you again Scotland. This concert in Tampere ( i was bornd there) is fantastic and this song so sweet. Floors parent where in the audience. Hope you are fine. Sending you som flowers for your great reaction. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤🎉🎉🎉
If you haven't reacted to it yet: CheckOut the song While your lips are still red. Nightwish Wembley concert, another iconic lead sung by Marko.
In the past, Floor and her sis Irene have done much backing vocals, with Ayreon in Star One concert and the song "The eye of Ra.'"
btw looking at your shoes.. Do you dance?
I have already done that one, and I absolutely loved it
@@themetalmuse You did "Eye of Ra" already? Wow.. I'm g.. oh it's the NW song ;) So here goes (cuz you definitely wanna check out Jansen & Jansen, i.e. Floor and Irene): "Ayreon - The Eye Of Ra (Universe)". You'll love it! I'm guessing 4 to 5 😺s
There is so much about this song that reminds me of Jethro and Ian Andersson. Am I the only one that hears this?

Thanks ❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
Nice to see your smiling face ❤ 🌹
Thank you! 😃
👍👍👍👍👍
Pretty good backup singer .
Pretty epic 😁😁😁
no problem for Floor
@@themetalmuse you have to react to the newest Nightwish song " An ocean of strange islands " it'll blow you away
Marko leaving was the worst thing to happen to Nightwish, his singing partnership with Floor was a special time.
DOM!!! Hope you’re doing well!! 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
Hey! Not bad just wrecked by a flu! Luckily though it didn’t get me before I saw Marko and Tarja. It arrived the morning after lol.
@@themetalmuse Sounds familiar. I went to Eindhoven in June to see Floor Jansen and came back with a dose of Dutch COVID! 🤣
TBH I was sick for a week and am still not 100% I think it might have been the ‘rona!
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done Dom Didn't you like the second part better?
Definitely 👍
Marko composed the music with his first band Tarot, but it didn't fit with them. Tuomas heard him playing it one day and decided it would make a great song. He wrote the lyrics about a lonely lighthouse keeper. So I would definitely go with sea shanty. From the 2007 Dark Passion Play album, Anette era.
The spoken part roughly translates to "If I play the chorus, you're gonna sing along, right?" - "Yeah!" - "Are you sure?" - "Yeah!" - "Ok, let's do it".
There was another spoken part just before this video started, Marko says that he is just 1 man with a guitar and 20k people, so he better come up with something. And that the other weasels doubled back and left him. Glad the 'weasels' came back. 😂
When Marko left , Tuomas said that this is one of the songs that they just wouldn't be able to play again. But you may see it played live , by Marko in his solo shows. He had played this since he left NW.
some ppl might say bad ppl not giving artist that "sing along" that much but i feel like these ppl just want to hear them sing and enjoy it
Imagine having Floor as your backing singer.
To be honest, I don’t think I could, especially since I can’t sing at all lol.
As a backing singer should do well,,😎
That was meant to say “can’t” trust me I am tone death. LOL.
Try Marcos Voice of my father....great song...🤘👍🇫🇮😎
I will thank you for the suggestion
Actually Marco won the Finnish show named "The Masked Singer" some years ago...he's a brilliant singer.
But you're not too late for the Nightwish journey. I was early listening to them when they were just kids from the neighboring town and Marco wouldn't be a member for a long time yet, they were, are and will be awesome and you got to experience them at the time they were alive. You can pat yourself on the back for being on time. The people 1000 years from now won't be so lucky even if the music is still relevant and they have holograms and such. You can still go see him live, he's still around.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Marko has always been one of my favourite male singers.
When people hear this style of song they usually think of sea shantys from the British Isles but Scandanavian cultures have them as well. An older band to listen is Hednigarna!
Careful. At 8:46 you said “Troy’s vocals” instead of Marko’s! 😊
Oops, slip of the tongue
Great reaction! Music was written by Marko. He decided it wasn't a good fit for his band Tarot so he brought it to Nightwish and Tuomas added the lyrics. Marko is so versatile as singer and he definitely can go sweet and tender, like you saw in While Your Lips are Still Red. One of my favorite Marko/Nightwish songs is Endlessness off the Human Nature album. Last song Marko sang lead on for Nightwish and a beautiful song about living a great life and then graciously accepting our fate when death comes and jump into what ever adventure awaits us on the other side. Marko has also done a bunch of work with other artists. One of my favorites is him singing with Charlotte Wessels and Delain the song The Gathering live from Masters of Rock. th-cam.com/video/4X4jNBrFEn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ivOLG9Z5jOTdRhbj. Also Marko and Floor actually sang together a few years before Floor joined Nightwish. Here they are both singing with Delain in 2009, Day for Ghosts, th-cam.com/video/hHtJsiLAkM4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OwtirJZB7TreegpI.
Tampere have the x-factor(for me). Because parents, friends were in the crowd?
A lot of people have said that.
Power and ferocity has many faces.
Deep currents and flow-ey floweyness can be ferocious, too.
Cat chin-rubs to you and yours.
(btw, in my continuing desire to understand the language-of-cat, I've decided that when a cat sits next to you and shows back-of-head, it's not ignoring you... it is a show of trust and closeness. [the converse would be : "If one cannot be trusted, then one must be watched"].
I'm fairly sure I finally got that one right. seems to work with 4 out of 5 felines in this house.)
Slow blinks equal kisses and love
❤🤘
🥰🥰🥰
Islander is one of my favs. Marko's double neck guitar has a haunting sound and is one beautiful piece of equipment. A few years ago I read where Marko said "once Floor joined the band he no longer needed to hold his own vocal power back, he could let it rip" - he wasn't knocking Tarja or Annett at all. If you haven't seen Marko and Nightwish do the tribute to Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" , it in the End of an Era concert from 2005. Marko is absolutely stunning in this one. While you're at that show check out Tarja's version of NEMO. Both are off the charts.
Tampere - good choice :o)
Hi Dom, very nicevreaction.
But you have done Wembley so you have seen Marco singing While Your Lips Are Still Red, so you have seen Marco in softer mood before?
There are a number of songs that Tuomas said they will not perform again after Marco left: I don't think this will be played (or would work) with another vocalist. Marcos range and breath control are incredible.
One of those rarities for Nightwish - music written by Marco not Tuomas (though Tuomas did write the lyrics).
Also unusual in showcasing Marcos 6 string skills (he started as a lead player not bass).
If you like this, you might enjoy "While your lips are still red"
I have already reacted to that song and I loved it
🤩👍💥💯🎼
🤘😎🇫🇮💙🎶
🥰🥰🥰😘
It was Emppu's turn to have a bit of rest during this song.
God, I love this song, even above the original with Anette. Really missing Marko in Nightwish.
Thanks for react.please reacting dimash new song (fire)😅
Prefer Wembley for The Poet and the Pendulum plus The Greatest Show on Earth with Richard Dawkins live. You also played the version of this song without Marko's introduction where he says the other "weasels" have left him alone to entertain the crowd. So it's a surprise when they join in and Floor holds back.
Just a thought - have you ever listened to or reacted to Raskasta Joulua (Finnish meaning Heavy Christmas). You would see some familiar faces like Floor, Marko etc. 'Heinillä härkien kaukalon' is stunning. That could give a couple of interesting songs for Xmas to react to. The band is made up of heavy metal artists singing Finnish (and international?) Christmas songs. (Not sure if this is on their official channel, but watch till the end for the part Marco sings: th-cam.com/video/CJz1UEyw0MM/w-d-xo.html).
In this video (Floor and Marko singing Ave Maria) you can see how much they love each other - brother and sister together on stage: th-cam.com/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/w-d-xo.html.
marko writed this songwith tuomas
Can you react to Biggie Biggie Boom? It’s Baby Lasagnas new song (the Croatian Eurovision representative who sang rim tim tagi dim) and I think you would enjoy it 😊
Did we watch a different video? I didn't see or hear any pipes here.
I'll always love Nightwish, but you've should check out Lovebites. Easily my favorite metal band of all time. As with all bands, it is very hard to capture them in one song. They do power metal, but also thrash as well as having some fantastic sort of power ballads that incorporate piano, sometimes even classical piano, Asami's R&B vocal hostory, and even one that draws directly on her ballet background. I think I'll suggest two and let you decide. First is SSS (Soldier Stands Solitarily) th-cam.com/video/30yWisiRBuM/w-d-xo.html . It's probably their greatest composed song, fastest, most technical and difficult, and best performance as a result of that. I think its the best metal song ever written, but I am biased lol. I'd check this one out! However all their songs are brilliantly composed, and Liar is no exception th-cam.com/video/YWHPfnJz2qk/w-d-xo.html . Here you get more range in Asami's voice. Where SSS was really impressive belting, you begin to see a little more about Asami's voice in Liar. Although honestly two songs won't do it because we're missing some of the beautiful piano work possible. Still, it's a place to start, and I highly, highly recommend it!

Sorry I have to quibble… Marco is Dandelion?? Not even close.

Marko is a pacifist viking.
