"The Poet & the Pendulum" was telling about Tuomas' feelings after Tarja was gone. "Bye Bye Beautiful" was written by Marco afaik. "Slaying the Dreamer" is one of those mentioned songs that Tarja sang but never understood. It is dealing with Tuomas, the dreamer, who is confronted that just playing music would'nt satisfy all relevant necessities of others the same way it did for himself. Maximizing money revenues as the sole reason for making music was slaying the dreamboy Tuomas.
Victoria Bye Bye Beautiful was partly directed at Tarja, but also at the fans who accused Tuomas of replacing Tarja with Annette because of her looks, which is why in the music video the whole band is replaced with women. It’s a multi-faceted Metal diss track lol.
@@Iamthecrazyone for real? they did get comments like that? Honestly I never found either of the two that good looking... maybe Tarja better because THOSE EYES!!! But.... the song for dark passion play were written before Anette joined?? Thats why Marco is the one singing the poet on demo
L' Enchanted The song itself was more at Tarja, but the music video specifically was made this way to make fun of the rumors that started after Annette was hired.
@Kanashimi They record the demos at the camp and Floor was present during the making od EFMB so at least for that album it was probably her (didn't hear the demos so I'm not sure but it would be stupid not to when she was there). And honestly as awesome as Marco is I don't think he sang demos for Tarjas parts :D. Marco did sing DPP demos (and I realy though it was because they still didnt pick the singer at that time, and considered the posibility that Marco would do the actual recording as well). I have no idea how much was Anette involved in preparatons of Imaginaerum though, but I think she was at the camp too.

The story goes that Marko stripped down to his underwear, ran outside in the snow, circled the building, then came back inside and recorded the vocals. I can't provide a source for that but I sure HOPE it's true! xD
@@ThatKeterScp Maybe. That is certainly less crazy and quite believable. I do find it hilarious imagining a half naked Marko psyching himself up by running around in the bitter cold. I'd love to think that it actually happened, hehe.
Idk if you know this but this song is about Tarja's husband Marcelo and his part in firing her from the band. That is why they never perform this song live
oh sh*t. I didn't ever pay this song much attention before. Just read the lyrics for the first time. Damn Tuomas *really* didn't like this guy. Eviscerated in music. Amazing.
a hatefilled, bipolar, repressed, arrogant, jealous manchild making a whole album full of angry songs full of lies, to be sung by an ugly looking, boozed up screeching hobbit...but now they have evolved into that cool folk-band Tuomas has always wanted with the once great Floor as a sideshow for promoting Tuomas's social agenda..way to go Tuomas...the pop industry awaits you

Nightwish have so many layers and gradients, it's insane. On one end of the spectrum, you have stuff like this, Yours is an Empty Hope and Romanticide; nasty, heavy stuff and in the other end there's the soft beauty of Elan, While Your Lips Are Still Red and Sleeping Sun - and then everything in between. The variety is just nuts!
"This is the same band that made Poet and the Pendulum" And it is, in fact, the same album. ;D Just a few songs apart from each other, too. To be fair though, Tuomas was dealing with some heavy shit at the time. That makes it one of the most interesting and unique albums though, that's for sure. :D
You can feel the discord and agitation in the horn parts for sure, anger in the chugging parts of guitar and bass lines. In short, there's some pissed off people that wrote that.
@@brent3522 ..ignoring the fact that Tarja was ignored from the start, the implication is that her husband turned her head and will use her and throw her away (lol still happily married to him)...if Tuomas was more attentive then maybe she would not need a separate manager in the first place
It has been many years since school band, for me. That along with the intensity those horns are being played at, makes it hard to identify them. However, I'm thinking they are French Horns?

Also what's funny is when you listen to this whole album through, the song that plays right after this one is called 'Eva,' and it's completely the opposite: sad, slow, quiet, peaceful.
The fact that you said "This is the same band that did Poet and the Pendulum..." in that awed voice made me legit laugh out loud because both songs are off the same album, Dark Passion Play. I'd love to see you react to more Devin Townsend. You should try out Deadhead live at Royal Albert or maybe try the song he did with Floor back when she was still with ReVamp- it's called Neurasthenia and it's awesome.
Helaas zullen ze deze nooit live spelen, omdat ze bij lange na niet meer in die mindset zijn. Begrijpelijk. Voor The Poet & The Pendulum is het anders, dat is een episch lied.
This is definately their roughest song, I love it. After hearing it a few times though, you still notice how melodic it is in some parts, especially at the end. The orchestral and melodic parts add so much atmosphere and make the songs really deep.
Dark Passion Play is heralded by many Nightwish fans, myself included, as probably their best album to date. When the boys get angry, the music gets proper heavy! And boy were they angry when making this album.
I really hope the band will make more of these heavy and bombastic songs. Wouldn’t wish any hard times on them but they seem to do melancholic and angry so beautifully.
@@ameliarose727 It's like they were going like "Oh we're fucking MAD, need to make some heavy trash metal. Oh wait, lets make it sound Nightwish-y also, cool down guys".
@@xeleelex146 When it comes to a band, no-one should be put more over than another, as each person contributes equally to the band. When it no longer is that, then it really no longer is a band, let alone a family. Yes, Tuomas composes and writes most of the lyrics, however, each person brings their own ideas to the table for the composition of a song. Tuomas couldn't tell Emppu how to play a riff or solo any more than Emppu can tell Kai or Jukka how a 4-bar drum fill should sound in a song, any more than Kai could tell Floor to hit a C#5 or a C#4. Each brings their own talents to it. But the moment you have someone not playing their role, not showing up for practice, and giving notice the way Tarja did, that's when it breaks down. Treating her one way didn't cause that; not playing the role and contributing did. Regardless, Nightwish are much stronger now with Floor, Tarja got what she wanted, which was out of the band/going solo. You should be happy; she got what she wanted, and that has now been 15 years ago. If you're still salty about it, that isn't Tuomas' or Nightwish's fault; you're letting it affect you, and that's totally on you.
They never fail to impress take it up a notch with Sahara from the same album live in Tampa tuomas is out there smiling empu and troy are on guitars and floor well we know what happens when she's around
Nice you compared it to Pantera.... That's how Floor and Hannes met. NW and Sabbaton were on tour together in the USA. Hannes was drinking Whiskey and smoking a cigarin a dressing room and listening to Pantera. Floor joined him.. you know what happened haha
My favorite NW song and NW reactor! Had this as phone ringtune and must admit that I quite often didn't answer the phone (99% calls were salesmen anyways) just because I wanted to listen the song.
Love the fact that you did this on Marko's birthday, Heath! Excellent choice! I have to wonder what song you'll do for Floor, since her birthday is 21 February -- and my own birthday is two days later (23 February). AND, Heath, since the next album is supposed to be darker, I hope that means heavier! Heavy Nightwish is just like Unleash the Archers -- and I cannot get enough!
Wow! Did not know that, lol! Interesting you're a February baby like me! I have one request, tho: On my birthday, play either Sabaton's Sparta, or Unleash the Archers', and their song "Frozen Steel." And hey -- both Sabaton and Unleash the Archers both give me a tremendous boost of energy -- because both bands make me want to get a sword, shield, and go to fight...somebody! Lol
Oh hohohohohooooooh,no you DIDNT!!😲 Mr Rock N Roll brought out the fed up,angry,stone cold crazy guys in Nightwish!😲 Needless to say,this was a straight up F U to a certain gentleman that the guys cant stand. Hadnt Marco been allowed to go mental in his vocals here,im sure that would mean a potential asswooping for that gentleman. (Not really,but still! Its a good way to steam out!) There was this,and there was "Bye Bye Beautiful" who was written directly to Tarja. Both are songs Nightwish dont perform anymore,due to the same gentleman threatening with a lawsuit if that ever happened. Man,there were soo much bad blood at that time. And i believe Bye Bye Beautiful is Nightwish`s most viewed video ever! Might be a record for any metal-rock music video too,i heard someone speculate over. Defintly the 2 most "aggressive" songs Nightwish ever made,Bye Bye Beautiful seems abit calmer......until they unleash Marco again😲
Tbh, seeing Bye Bye Beautiful live back when they did it live... Marco seems to struggle to get everything out that he did on the studio version. I always assumed that was a reason they don't do it live anymore as well.
Nah,Marco is a beast on vocals. But taken his age today into concideration,that might be just another reason,if they got asked that again today. With age,your voice fades slowly away too,sadly. But i have heard him go crazy live after the whole Tarja thing numberous times. However,they dont go carrying grudge and hatred anymore theese days,wich may have a impact on how you are able to sing. I can see it from that perspective,totally. However,i believe it was quite simply because they didnt want to "bring up angry memories",the same as Tuomas never wanting to perform The Poet And The Pendulum anymore. They are at a happy place now,and bringing back darker,painful memories isnt something they want,wich i do respect and understand. All i remember is that theese 2 songs made Marcelo grumpy as a kid without candy,and that they laied them to rest,because they didnt want anymore media drama from thoose 2.
MR. RnR gets blow. Away again. I will say this is my favorite off this album. This album has many styles and will keep surprising ya. Listen to Bye Bye Beautiful. Marco and Annette contrast of singing gets stuck in your head.
Yeah they were all in a lot different place emotionally then and Marko's voice really helps drive that home. Sad for the reason he wrote it, but dang what a piece of music.
Don't piss Tuomas or Marco off haha! Even though the meaning behind this song is angry and directed at Tarja's husband, I just adore how heavy and powerful it is, it's definitely one of my personal favourites!
They need to go heavy like this more often. You didn't say it was your fav, but wanted to. Mr. Rock & Roll, you're a gamer, you're an actor, you're a metalhead, so you got to react to Dan Vasc's metal cover of Toss A Coin To Your Witcher. Five million views in a week, well deserved!

While I was not the biggest fan of Anette and her way of singing, this is definitely one of my favorite albums. Tuomas had so much to say, lyrics, music and the way it was put together was and still is amazing. "The Poet and the Pendulum" was emotional and I still cry when I hear it, then "Master Passion Greed" was anger and hurt, and then there was "The Islander" and "Meadows of Heaven". Every last one of them was different in their own way, showcased beautiful music and lyrics. It is truly one of the most interesting albums they have made.
The horns at the end of the song reminded me of a James Bond movie 😁 Someone needs to have Nightwish do the theme song for a 007 movie and a Disney movie 😎 FYI Marko’s English album comes out on January 20th 🤘
Hey Mr. Rock an Roll, there are news from Floor Jansen. At the 24th of January a fan recording of Floor singing Strong came out! (tone quality is not good, but OK!)...I only want to say....very emotional. As I know, it‘s the first time she sang this song live! You have to check it out, please!
hmmm did you already react to Tarot with Marco on lead vocals and his brother on guitars? Try "Wings of Darkness" BUT if you do it you HAVE to react to the old version from the 80s for a 20-year old Marco and then to the remake of the video from 2011! It's great! :)
This is the kind of music you get when Tuomas is pissed off. This one was aimed towards Tarja's husband. EDIT: This was off The Dark Passion Play album. The first without Tarja on vocals, and the same album as Poet and the Pendulum. This will likely never be played live, as it brings a lot of feelings to Tuomas
Awesome song! Totally different from anything NW has ever done. I would really recomend you go check out Marcos previous band: TAROT. They were amazing. They have a live dvd "undead indeed" wich is priceless. Crows fly Black; Pyre of Gods; Bleeding Dust should be your first picks!
Mr. Rock and Roll!!!! If you want to checkout Marco at his best there is a demo of Poet and The Pendulum were Marco dos all the vocals including the high ones at the beginning. Totally worth checking out!!!!!
Going through the comment section to see how many people explain this is directed to Tarja's husband xD Mr. Rock N Roll, please react to Wishmaster (studio version).
Great reaction to a great song! You should totally check out some Symphony X! The songs "Domination", "Evolution" and "Of Sins and Shadows" would be a good place to start. Just album versions. Their music videos suck and they're live vids are mostly trash quality. Hopefully you get around to them! Great musicianship and Russell Allen has a grreeeeat voice!
You have got my vote for this! Michael Romeo with some chops. Paradise Lost, Seven. He could listen to a Star One song with Russell, Floor and Damian Wilson.
gui mich24 - that whole Paradise Lost album is fantastic! The Walls of Babylon about broke my neck when I first heard it, haha. I have to admit, I've never listened to Star One. I'll def check them out! Thanks for the recommendation!
U will fall in love with come cover me floor kills it on that one its one of my fave nightwish songs.. The version is live from buenos aires The all show in buenos aires is amazing
Gonna throw one at you that I don't think you have done yet. The title track from the last album, which is very underrated in my opinion. The official video has the lyrics, showcasing Tuomas' poetic genius. How in the world Floor remembers these lyrics, let alone sing them is astounding. They also did it live in Tampere in 2015.
@@xeleelex146 : What is? And besides that, back up your claim of "Tuomas' delusions" -- because honestly, you already sound like a Tarja-ite, and you have no idea what you're talking about.
@@isaiahwelch8066 lets start with the lyrics"Who the hell are you to tell me What to do, why to do, why bother..Leech in a mask of virtue Such waste, to ever think of you again"...Tuomas was certain that only he had the right to determine all matters pertaining to NW insisting that her husband/manager should have no input into decision making influencing Tarja including musical and stage matters, frequency of tour dates and gigs...is that logical?...further he claims to have no need for him, yet takes every opportunity to vent his anger at Marcelo.. .then" Hey Judas, your Christess was our love ..Hit and run, your will be done. Never sorry, never wrong...More more more more more".....he attacks her or Marcelo because she did not end up with him..deluding himself that she returned his feelings...that Marcelo is wrong but he is never wrong...... then..."All for her and more for me Why is it so hard to see?".....Tuomas implies that Marcelo asked for more of the profits, when its been documented that Tarja wanted fewer large scale gigs to rest her vocals and not a penny in additional revenue...it was the band whop wanted to conquer the Americas and planned 9 months worth of gigs without consulting Tarja "All within me gone but pain and hope".... my power over you is no more, and all i am left with is pain (of either being unrequited or from being taken away by Marcelo "Mammon, opiate of the masses"....so you think your popularity with the fans gives you an edge/advantage over me...no way... "Seek her Seduce her Tame her Blame her Have her Kill her Feast on it all".....take her away from me..force her to turn against me, destroying her career as a result(as though without Tuomas, she could not succeed) and then"feast" as though, he is saying use her and dispose of her like a washroom napkin (when in fact, Tuomas used her and made her feel like a guest vocalist , which was always a source of contention "With awakening the tears will begin To my everlasting shame silence took me".... once i begin to understand the gravity of the mistake of firing her and the massive backlash against me resulting therefrom...my response will be the regret of how i tried to defame her with the the public letter
@@xeleelex146 : I'm going to refute this entire thing, since you were so kind as to actually respond. First section: Actually, as Tuomas IS the one who composes everything (Marko being the other songwriter), that _does_ mean he has a lot of control. Second, his anger is understandable, when Marcelo is, in fact, butting in where he is not wanted, nor needed. So honestly, Tuomas' feelings on that are understandable -- because Nightwish is, for all intents and purposes, _his_ band. Certainly Nightwish would not be as popular as they are, without _his_ songwriting skill and talent.
That bass line always reminds me of Lemmy. Despite the fact that Annete is on this album, this is my second favourite album by them after Oceanborn. It is intense
Very good videos! Following Marco's line you should listen to his collaboration with Delian. greetings from Chile. I leave you the name of the video ... "Nothing left".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARKO!!!
That's actually cool and funny AF
Good thing it didn't have the second set of lines...
thats precisely the problem..Tuomas was attempting to do that, not her manager...
those wishes belonged to Tuomas not her husband who was looking out for her interests
Seek her! Seduce her! Tame her...all the desire Tuomas had for Tarja, but never had the guts to act upon
Everytime i listen to this song i think: Tuomas must have really hated Tarja husband LOL
of course he did, its the first time his authority been challenged and Marcelo stole his ideal woman
he sure did for standing up for her rights
it was more like intense jealousy and resentment at Marcelo's bruising his massive ego
Also what's funny is when you listen to this whole album through, the song that plays right after this one is called 'Eva,' and it's completely the opposite: sad, slow, quiet, peaceful.
What happens when Tuomas gets angry...
He makes an angry and heavy song
his best crap is only in manifestation of love or hate for Tarja..the rest of his songs deal with his nature obsession
he starts to let his delusions run wild
This is great. Imagine this and While Your Lips Are Still Red, Marco kills both.

I agree totally!
The fact that you said "This is the same band that did Poet and the Pendulum..." in that awed voice made me legit laugh out loud because both songs are off the same album, Dark Passion Play.
I'd love to see you react to more Devin Townsend. You should try out Deadhead live at Royal Albert or maybe try the song he did with Floor back when she was still with ReVamp- it's called Neurasthenia and it's awesome.
that entire album was Tuomas's delusional meandering and pretentious nonsense..depressed..ha..lol
YEEYEE I love love love this song I'm forever praying to the gods that I'll one day hear it live
Same here😀
I want to thank you for translating the content of Beste Zangers! You are priceless!
Helaas zullen ze deze nooit live spelen, omdat ze bij lange na niet meer in die mindset zijn. Begrijpelijk. Voor The Poet & The Pendulum is het anders, dat is een episch lied.
they'll never play it live because doing so will cost them whatever few Tarja fans they still have after she left and too them all with her
and i am hoping Tuomas can actually grow up and be a man
This is definately their roughest song, I love it. After hearing it a few times though, you still notice how melodic it is in some parts, especially at the end. The orchestral and melodic parts add so much atmosphere and make the songs really deep.
I love how heavy this song is, Nightwish can be heavy if they want I knew you would love this song Mr. Rock n' Roll 🤘🤘
Dark Passion Play is heralded by many Nightwish fans, myself included, as probably their best album to date.
When the boys get angry, the music gets proper heavy! And boy were they angry when making this album.
I really hope the band will make more of these heavy and bombastic songs. Wouldn’t wish any hard times on them but they seem to do melancholic and angry so beautifully.
@@ameliarose727 It's like they were going like "Oh we're fucking MAD, need to make some heavy trash metal. Oh wait, lets make it sound Nightwish-y also, cool down guys".
they should be mostly angry at themselves for treating Tarja like a guest vocalist and not their most prized asset
@@xeleelex146 When it comes to a band, no-one should be put more over than another, as each person contributes equally to the band. When it no longer is that, then it really no longer is a band, let alone a family. Yes, Tuomas composes and writes most of the lyrics, however, each person brings their own ideas to the table for the composition of a song. Tuomas couldn't tell Emppu how to play a riff or solo any more than Emppu can tell Kai or Jukka how a 4-bar drum fill should sound in a song, any more than Kai could tell Floor to hit a C#5 or a C#4. Each brings their own talents to it. But the moment you have someone not playing their role, not showing up for practice, and giving notice the way Tarja did, that's when it breaks down. Treating her one way didn't cause that; not playing the role and contributing did.
Regardless, Nightwish are much stronger now with Floor, Tarja got what she wanted, which was out of the band/going solo. You should be happy; she got what she wanted, and that has now been 15 years ago. If you're still salty about it, that isn't Tuomas' or Nightwish's fault; you're letting it affect you, and that's totally on you.
when Tarja left, so did his inspiration ..so now you have preachy, folk rock
They never fail to impress take it up a notch with Sahara from the same album live in Tampa tuomas is out there smiling empu and troy are on guitars and floor well we know what happens when she's around
A favorite.
this is why i love Nightwish....epic above epic...talent above talent...just a fantastic band
Nice you compared it to Pantera.... That's how Floor and Hannes met. NW and Sabbaton were on tour together in the USA. Hannes was drinking Whiskey and smoking a cigarin a dressing room and listening to Pantera. Floor joined him.. you know what happened haha
not nightwish but with revamp
If Floor wasn't in Nightwish when they met, then Hannes wasn't in Sabaton. Lol He joined Sabaton in 2013
She was in Nightwish, but was touring with ReVamp
Many Happy Birthdays to Marko! And there is no question where Tuomas' and his minds are on this album.
I think Trip the Darkness would be better then Layers of Time :)
The more I hear of this album, the more it opens up and the better it gets every single time... now that is a sing of brilliant piece of music
This song has absolutely everything!! Probably Nightwish's heaviest song 🤘🎸
except the truth
what a far cry from their today's preach rock
Sir Tony Kakko and Tuomas on backing vocals. The really high vocals is Tony my fantasy husband. This is the heaviest Nightwish song I love it.
Tony is 44 and has the body of a 20 yr old. It's Finnish guys they just rock look amazing.
@@NeeceLoneWolf Thanks. 😁
My favorite NW song and NW reactor! Had this as phone ringtune and must admit that I quite often didn't answer the phone (99% calls were salesmen anyways) just because I wanted to listen the song.
Damn that was great! The ending reminds me of an old James Bond movie score.
Please listen 'Planet Hell' from 'End of an Era' show (2005). One of best heavy & orchestral song ever. Marco's intro destroys planets.
powerful performance by Tarja as well
his voice also destroys people's will to keep their breakfast down
Love the fact that you did this on Marko's birthday, Heath! Excellent choice!
I have to wonder what song you'll do for Floor, since her birthday is 21 February -- and my own birthday is two days later (23 February).
AND, Heath, since the next album is supposed to be darker, I hope that means heavier! Heavy Nightwish is just like Unleash the Archers -- and I cannot get enough!
Wow! Did not know that, lol!
Interesting you're a February baby like me!
I have one request, tho: On my birthday, play either Sabaton's Sparta, or Unleash the Archers', and their song "Frozen Steel."
And hey -- both Sabaton and Unleash the Archers both give me a tremendous boost of energy -- because both bands make me want to get a sword, shield, and go to fight...somebody! Lol
Feb 23 here aswell!
Excellent choice! Nightwish at their most pissed. Happy Birthday Marko!
and utterly delusional
Oh hohohohohooooooh,no you DIDNT!!😲 Mr Rock N Roll brought out the fed up,angry,stone cold crazy guys in Nightwish!😲 Needless to say,this was a straight up F U to a certain gentleman that the guys cant stand. Hadnt Marco been allowed to go mental in his vocals here,im sure that would mean a potential asswooping for that gentleman. (Not really,but still! Its a good way to steam out!) There was this,and there was "Bye Bye Beautiful" who was written directly to Tarja. Both are songs Nightwish dont perform anymore,due to the same gentleman threatening with a lawsuit if that ever happened. Man,there were soo much bad blood at that time. And i believe Bye Bye Beautiful is Nightwish`s most viewed video ever! Might be a record for any metal-rock music video too,i heard someone speculate over. Defintly the 2 most "aggressive" songs Nightwish ever made,Bye Bye Beautiful seems abit calmer......until they unleash Marco again😲
Tbh, seeing Bye Bye Beautiful live back when they did it live... Marco seems to struggle to get everything out that he did on the studio version. I always assumed that was a reason they don't do it live anymore as well.
Nah,Marco is a beast on vocals. But taken his age today into concideration,that might be just another reason,if they got asked that again today. With age,your voice fades slowly away too,sadly. But i have heard him go crazy live after the whole Tarja thing numberous times. However,they dont go carrying grudge and hatred anymore theese days,wich may have a impact on how you are able to sing. I can see it from that perspective,totally. However,i believe it was quite simply because they didnt want to "bring up angry memories",the same as Tuomas never wanting to perform The Poet And The Pendulum anymore. They are at a happy place now,and bringing back darker,painful memories isnt something they want,wich i do respect and understand. All i remember is that theese 2 songs made Marcelo grumpy as a kid without candy,and that they laied them to rest,because they didnt want anymore media drama from thoose 2.
Happy Birthday Marco, 54 years young, love this one
& the world will miss Marko
U are such a sweetheart to pay tribute to Marco birthday.
Bye bye beautiful is the next one u should react. Its about Tarja leaving Nightwish
Marco is Tuomas's Frankenstein
One of my favorite things about this track is that it's right next to Eva, on the album.
Ready for the new Nightwish album? Is coming.....👊💥👊
MR. RnR gets blow. Away again.
I will say this is my favorite off this album.
This album has many styles and will keep surprising ya.
Listen to Bye Bye Beautiful.
Marco and Annette contrast of singing gets stuck in your head.
My favorite line: All within me gone but pain and hope
Hoping that the pain would fade away
hopefully in this upcoming album he'll show signs of moving on
Wtf. I was reading comments, this comment came and the song was spot on in that part :o
Yeah they were all in a lot different place emotionally then and Marko's voice really helps drive that home. Sad for the reason he wrote it, but dang what a piece of music.
they were mad as hell at themselves for dumping their most valuable assest
it is sad that they only know hatred and anger
Am I the only one who hears the brass section at the end and thinks "This is the heaviest/angriest James Bond theme ever"?
Nightwish did a Cover Version of "Symphony of Destruction" (live at Bucharest) very funny.
Arch Enemy did that also.
Same vocalist on the same album as The Islander. He is amazing.
This song is F*****G FIRE!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude.. this here is what we can call A Reaction
Your room exits ate so hilarious! Laughing my ass off everytime😂!
Are so... better maybe😂
Have you idea of how much time I waited your reaction to this amazing song!? Finally BigHombre! Finally!
Don't piss Tuomas or Marco off haha!
Even though the meaning behind this song is angry and directed at Tarja's husband, I just adore how heavy and powerful it is, it's definitely one of my personal favourites!
grossly misplaced rantings
Took me a few minutes to get into this song, but it became awesome as it gradually went on. I love Marko!
They need to go heavy like this more often. You didn't say it was your fav, but wanted to.
Mr. Rock & Roll, you're a gamer, you're an actor, you're a metalhead, so you got to react to Dan Vasc's metal cover of Toss A Coin To Your Witcher. Five million views in a week, well deserved!
Luis Nunes so agree with this comment, in fact you should listen to his bands album Chronicles of ancient wisdom by fearless
@@Kymfre01 It's near the top of the to buy list.
For me Skar's is the best cover of Toss a Coin to Your Witcher, seek it out
@@gabolujan Think I saw it.
yah, a few pet project songs from Tuomas is ok but the rest should be heavy and intricate
Don't forget: Endless Forms Most Beautiful (Live at Tampere Stadium 2015)...really nice

preach rock at its best
While I was not the biggest fan of Anette and her way of singing, this is definitely one of my favorite albums. Tuomas had so much to say, lyrics, music and the way it was put together was and still is amazing.
"The Poet and the Pendulum" was emotional and I still cry when I hear it, then "Master Passion Greed" was anger and hurt, and then there was "The Islander" and "Meadows of Heaven". Every last one of them was different in their own way, showcased beautiful music and lyrics.
It is truly one of the most interesting albums they have made.
Thanks for reacting to this one. I never heard it before and I like it. New Nightwish soon!
Gonna see Marko on 2nd Feb live over here ;) And I am just damn lucky with that :)
Would love to see you react to some Lacuna Coil. I think Layers of Time is an awsome song.
The horns at the end of the song reminded me of a James Bond movie 😁 Someone needs to have Nightwish do the theme song for a 007 movie and a Disney movie 😎
FYI Marko’s English album comes out on January 20th 🤘
Hey Mr. Rock an Roll, there are news from Floor Jansen. At the 24th of January a fan recording of Floor singing Strong came out! (tone quality is not good, but OK!)...I only want to say....very emotional. As I know, it‘s the first time she sang this song live! You have to check it out, please!
Sorry...here is the link: th-cam.com/video/YZT6VEN1ZoE/w-d-xo.html
hmmm did you already react to Tarot with Marco on lead vocals and his brother on guitars? Try "Wings of Darkness" BUT if you do it you HAVE to react to the old version from the 80s for a 20-year old Marco and then to the remake of the video from 2011! It's great! :)
Mr R&R! Wait for this reaction, I've been 3 views and I still love it
i feel you man. when this came out back in the day i lose it just like you. respect.. PS: listen it again, and again.. it just get better
lol I pretty much love your reaction bro 😭
I understand why they do not play this live but I would absolutely love it if they do because this song is absolutely livid!
Love your videos!!! If I wanna laugh and head bang I turn on your videos! Thank you!!! Keep them coming!
you must check out After Forever ( floors old band )
you also need to get your ass on facebook - mr rock n roll
Mad Tuomas. You don't wish for him to be mad but if sth like this is the outcome . . . 😏
This is the kind of music you get when Tuomas is pissed off. This one was aimed towards Tarja's husband. EDIT: This was off The Dark Passion Play album. The first without Tarja on vocals, and the same album as Poet and the Pendulum. This will likely never be played live, as it brings a lot of feelings to Tuomas
Awesome song! Totally different from anything NW has ever done. I would really recomend you go check out Marcos previous band: TAROT. They were amazing. They have a live dvd "undead indeed" wich is priceless. Crows fly Black; Pyre of Gods; Bleeding Dust should be your first picks!
That double time cowbell is special too.
The word isn't rough. It is 'grit'
Not only rappers do diss tracks 😀
got myself a Nightwish t-shirt :D
Awsome reaction like usual, this band is the best band alive!
There is nothing they can't play!!!!!!
Mr. Rock and Roll!!!! If you want to checkout Marco at his best there is a demo of Poet and The Pendulum were Marco dos all the vocals including the high ones at the beginning. Totally worth checking out!!!!!
Going through the comment section to see how many people explain this is directed to Tarja's husband xD
Mr. Rock N Roll, please react to Wishmaster (studio version).
funny, how this song so well descriptine of Tuomas and his intentions toward Tarja
It’s Megadeth, Wintersun (meaning Kai on the drums already) and Nightwish combined
Great reaction to a great song! You should totally check out some Symphony X! The songs "Domination", "Evolution" and "Of Sins and Shadows" would be a good place to start. Just album versions. Their music videos suck and they're live vids are mostly trash quality. Hopefully you get around to them! Great musicianship and Russell Allen has a grreeeeat voice!
You have got my vote for this! Michael Romeo with some chops. Paradise Lost, Seven. He could listen to a Star One song with Russell, Floor and Damian Wilson.
gui mich24 - that whole Paradise Lost album is fantastic! The Walls of Babylon about broke my neck when I first heard it, haha. I have to admit, I've never listened to Star One. I'll def check them out! Thanks for the recommendation!
good suggestion and its nice to actually listen to Russel, who has a great voice , instead of this screeching bearded freak
The guitar noises in that one part when he's yelling "Seek her, seduce her, tame her," are called pinch harmonics
Tuomas couldn't so he fired her
its called delusional meanderings..
Marco is always fantastic, and this is a great departure from the norm
Nightwish can do everything, rumor has it that the new album combines hip hop and disco😂
but not metal, as i had suspected
U will fall in love with come cover me floor kills it on that one its one of my fave nightwish songs..
The version is live from buenos aires
The all show in buenos aires is amazing
Gonna throw one at you that I don't think you have done yet. The title track from the last album, which is very underrated in my opinion. The official video has the lyrics, showcasing Tuomas' poetic genius. How in the world Floor remembers these lyrics, let alone sing them is astounding. They also did it live in Tampere in 2015.
I so forgot about this heavy beauty [cowers in shame]
This is the first time I have heard this -- it's awesome! 🔥🤘😝🤘🔥
@@isaiahwelch8066 full of Tuomas's delusions
@@xeleelex146 : What is? And besides that, back up your claim of "Tuomas' delusions" -- because honestly, you already sound like a Tarja-ite, and you have no idea what you're talking about.
@@isaiahwelch8066 lets start with the lyrics"Who the hell are you to tell me
What to do, why to do, why bother..Leech in a mask of virtue
Such waste, to ever think of you again"...Tuomas was certain that only he had the right to determine all matters pertaining to NW insisting that her husband/manager should have no input into decision making influencing Tarja including musical and stage matters, frequency of tour dates and gigs...is that logical?...further he claims to have no need for him, yet takes every opportunity to vent his anger at Marcelo..
.then" Hey Judas, your Christess was our love
..Hit and run, your will be done. Never sorry, never wrong...More more more more more".....he attacks her or Marcelo because she did not end up with him..deluding himself that she returned his feelings...that Marcelo is wrong but he is never wrong......
then..."All for her and more for me
Why is it so hard to see?".....Tuomas implies that Marcelo asked for more of the profits, when its been documented that Tarja wanted fewer large scale gigs to rest her vocals and not a penny in additional revenue...it was the band whop wanted to conquer the Americas and planned 9 months worth of gigs without consulting Tarja
"All within me gone but pain and hope".... my power over you is no more, and all i am left with is pain (of either being unrequited or from being taken away by Marcelo
"Mammon, opiate of the masses"....so you think your popularity with the fans gives you an edge/advantage over me...no way...
"Seek her
Seduce her Tame her Blame her Have her Kill her
Feast on it all".....take her away from me..force her to turn against me, destroying her career as a result(as though without Tuomas, she could not succeed) and then"feast" as though, he is saying use her and dispose of her like a washroom napkin (when in fact, Tuomas used her and made her feel like a guest vocalist , which was always a source of contention
"With awakening the tears will begin
To my everlasting shame silence took me".... once i begin to understand the gravity of the mistake of firing her and the massive backlash against me resulting therefrom...my response will be the regret of how i tried to defame her with the the public letter
@@xeleelex146 : I'm going to refute this entire thing, since you were so kind as to actually respond.
First section: Actually, as Tuomas IS the one who composes everything (Marko being the other songwriter), that _does_ mean he has a lot of control.
Second, his anger is understandable, when Marcelo is, in fact, butting in where he is not wanted, nor needed. So honestly, Tuomas' feelings on that are understandable -- because Nightwish is, for all intents and purposes, _his_ band. Certainly Nightwish would not be as popular as they are, without _his_ songwriting skill and talent.
That bass line always reminds me of Lemmy. Despite the fact that Annete is on this album, this is my second favourite album by them after Oceanborn. It is intense
Very good videos! Following Marco's line you should listen to his collaboration with Delian. greetings from Chile. I leave you the name of the video ... "Nothing left".
You probably mean Delain. 🤭
One of their heaviest but underrated songs in my opinion
If you liked the riffs in this you'll like Dead To The World too methinks
Tarja's nightwishj is the thing!
Some of Empuu and Jukka's best work, too. Epic!
