nightwish did a pink floyd cover of "high hopes"......Marco absolutely kills it!!!!! one of the best covers i have ever seen.........
Yes yes yes!!! 🥰
+
Definetly this one!
Well, of course.
Yes
"The weasels are back!" ...ok, you've earned the like.
So, other Nightwish songs where Marco takes the lead vocally:
- High hopes (live End of an Era DVD) - Pink floyd cover
- Kiss while your lips are still red (live Wembley 2015)
- Endlessness (lyric music video, from their newest album: Human Nature)
- Master Passion Greed
Besides Nightwish you may want to check out some of his work with his older band Tarot; 'Wings of Darkness' (there are 2 music videos available: one from the 90s when he was young hair metal dude and a 'remake' of the same song with the same crew 25 years later - it is old school cheesy (in a positive way) power/hair metal :)
Also one of his most recently released songs is 'Stones' (music video), with a new ensamble under his name (since Tarot stopped after their original drummer died).
Keep up the good work and cheers! :)
Edited 3rd time to include Pedro's and Basic Guy's suggestions and Leadertramp's correction:)
there's also Endlessness which in my opinion is the best music from the new album
Kiss is the Wembley version. I love that song. And the High Hopes cover is, IMO, better than the original by far.
Kiss while your lips are still red is good indeed, its at Wembley yes.
You forgot "Master passion greed"
There is also their cover of Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction
The part without subtitles was:
"If I sing the chorus, would you sing along with me?"
"Yees!"
"Would you sing?"
"YEEEES!"
"Ok, it's settled then..."
#everybodylovesmarko 😍
Greetings!
👋🇮🇹🖖
Edit: the Warvick/Framus customized double-neck has been lovely nicknamed "The Beast" by Marko because of its weight...😬😳😵
Thanks for the translation - he would sing it anyway no doubt.
@@KenLavigne Sure, but it was a sweet way to engage the audience (and to gain time for the "weasels" too😅) nonetheless!😉
As already said in previous comments, his rendition of High Hopes by Pink Floyd from End of an Era concert is something unearthly: please react to that video! It's an awesome cover!
👋🇮🇹🖖

MARCO SURGERY
"At the end of the 1990s, Marco Hietala was operated from the throat with polyp. The surgery had nasty consequences. Marco Hietala, a bassist singer from the Nightwish and Tarot bands, for example, was losing his voice as a result of unsuccessful surgery. In his Stainless Life biography, published today, Hietala explains how, in the late 1990s, he drew attention to the special distortion in his voice. The doctor found the left side of the vocal cords polyp and recommended that the surgery. Hietala agreed - and regretted his decision. "The doctor said he had to use force (somehow I doubt he was a Jedi, though xD) to go to the polyp, but it shouldn't be a problem," Hietala says in his book. The voice should return to normal in a couple of weeks. This was not the case. At first, the situation was so bad that Hietala couldn't sing at all. In an interview with Savon Sanomat, Hietala recalls that the situation was very distressing, even desperate. - I lost the channel and ability, through which I had largely built my personality and my whole life. This could be compared to a sprinter who has to sit in a wheelchair with broken legs. I thought, what I should do with my life?, Hietala says. The loss of sound has not been raised earlier by Hietala because "It was late 90s, and my visibility to the people was not high". The story has a happy end as Hietala's voice has been in a good shape for a long time. However, it has required a lot of work over the years. Hietala points out that the voice never returned to pre-operative levels. - My clear upper falsetto was totally killed by that operation, Hietala says in his book: - Much later from the left side of my vocal cords, was found a permanent nerve damage, that was caused from that operation. That is, the left and right sides of the vocal cords do not sync with each other properly. Well, in the name of honesty: I have managed with them."
Marco and Nightwish did a cover of Pink FLoyd's High Hopes which, in my opinion, is better than the original th-cam.com/video/8rVtoycBS5s/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for posting this information. It makes his performances all the more impressive. I have listened to far too many "vocal cord surgery gone wrong" stories that it fills me with dread when I hear any singer opting to have the operation. I am so pleased that his voice was not lost to us permanently and he has found a way to continue making incredible music.
We need more Marco! While Your Lips Are Still Red live at Wembley!
Everytime I hear this performance I think how good you must be to have Floor as a back singer...
You know you have arrived as a vocalist when Floor Jansen is your backup singer 🤣
For another great Marco song, check out their Pink Floyd High Hopes cover from the End of an Era concert. Marco goes absolutely bonkers, you will love it.
Another good one is While Their Lips Are Still Red from the 2015 Wembley concert. Fantastic
Doesn’t he have a shirt that says "Floor Jansen is my backing singer"?😂
@@alexisthibodeau1300 I've heard someone mention that before. That's awesome.
More Marco: High Hopes, a Nightwish tribute to Pink Floyd!
I grew up with Pink Floyd in the 70's and early 80's. They are very difficult to cover, but in this case I actually prefer the Nightwish version.
Almost the same here, just a decade later on the range.
Georg A. Krohg
They are very different versions, what with the bands occupying very different genres. But I must admit I missed the atmosphere provided by the bells and more traditional piano sound from the original.
Agreed, you definitely need to check out their "High Hopes" cover!!!
ALSO Marko's actual solo project. Start with "The voice of my father" (or for even deeper feeling, the original Finnish version 'Isäni ääni', imo his vocals are even more powerful in this when it comes to emotion etc).
Nice one Ken. Another Marco/Floor one well worth checking out is Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley 2015.
If you want to hear more of Marco, check Nightwish cover of Pink Floyds `high hopes`! You won`t be disapointed!
I love you reactions and analyses, because they are clear, on point and educational!
Greetings from lappland of Finland!
Marko studied classic guitar at high school.
And just look at his smile when the band comes in.
Nightwish - High Hopes!
"While Your Lips Are Still Red" live at Wembley is one where Marko is the main vocalist.
Seems kind of unfair to other bands out there, that Nightwish not only they got Floor, they also have Marco. Troy (the flute guy) is also a pretty good singer.
"Holy hobbits" 🤣🤣🤣 I just love you so much for these amazing phrases! Every reaction there's a new gem. Great job!
Marko is remarkable! Or reMarkoble as Chase Carneson says 😛
He is an amazing vocalist and musician, he composes and arranges and has great knowledge of music theory and technology. And of course he is a funny and cool dude. Everyone loves Marko 🌷
Marco sings High Hopes , Pink Floyd cover its fantastic
_"The weasels are back!"_ 😄 Thanks for the reaction, as always it was interesting and fun!
You're correct that he emphasizes the vocal fry and other little things a lot more than in the actual recorded version of this song. What's interesting though is that no two live performances of The Islander actually sound the same. If you look up other recordings from different concerts, they all sound completely distinct, especially the end where he cuts loose. I genuinely believe that Marco just wings it every time.
Some may have mentioned it already but there is the band Marco sang in before Nightwish, Tarot, and a while ago he released a solo album Pyre of the Black Heart (or Mustan sydämen rovio). The album was recorded in both Finnish and English and it's pure gold.
A lot of reaction videos come up on my feed, especially Nightwish ones, most I may watch for a minute or two. I have to say, you are the first reaction video coaches that I love watching. Your knowledge and joy, mirrors the audiences , and you say so many intelligent comments Bravo Ken.
Marco.....Solo... The band covers " High Hopes " by Pink Floyd, Marco kills it. Nightwish song highlighting Marco, I like " While Your Lips Are Still Red.
Strong recommendation: 'Tides' by Tarot! Another a bit 'softer' Marco song but wow is it great.
The guitar is a custom made Warwick/Framus Infinity/Panthera double neck bass and guitar (about 8 kilos, I think). This is a great performance. I always shed some tears when the bandmates joined with him. The total killer is the Nightwish's cover to Pink Floyd's "High hopes". Greetings from Finland!
I love Floor's smile in this. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but she always seems so pleased when other members of the band get center stage, so to speak. The whole band does, but her smile here was such a good example. Whenever one of them has a solo, you can see the others stepping back, smiling at them or helping shine the spotlight on in some way. You can see them lifting each other up.
Nightwish Only three US cities in 2021 Lowell, MA 10-7-2021. Tickets on sale now. I am going to keep posting this info until the venue sells out. This band should be huge in the states. They deserve all the plugs they can get!
High Hopes (Pink Floyd Cover), End of an Era. Incredible!!!!!!!
Marko with Floor, Floor with Marko, a fantastic affair. A wonderful blending of vocal abilities.
Great reaction to a great performance!
High Hopes 2005 is a great Pink Floyd cover, and the safest choise. Marko shines on vocals, but all the other guys shine too. All in all, a very good performance, they create an eerie atmosphere.
"Isänä ääni" or "Kiviä" official music videos from Marko's solo album 2019 are very good too. These are in Finnish. English language versions are not as good, says not only me but many non Finns too. Some say they would listen to Marko if he was singing a dictionary. And you can always find an english translation of the lyrics. "Isäni ääni" ("My Father's Voice"), "Kiviä" ("Stones"). I'm OK with it though if you were to choose an English language version of one of these songs. Great lyrics - on "Isäni ääni" especially.
Hi from Helsinki Finland!
Hello Helsinki! Thank you for the compliments RI5TO - I see High Hopes coming up a lot on the comments and will try to make that happen soon.
@@KenLavigne 👍👍
Marco did write the lyrics and composed the music himself. With the background of the other bandmembers, it really shows that they appreciate the input of every bandmember and not only rely on composition and lyrics from Tuomas Holopainen.
The music is Marko's, but Tuomas wrote the lyrics.
@@GnomeDresta then the Wiki is wrong and should be corrected: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Islander_(song)
@@jamboree2723 Nope, it is correct, Wiki says Marko sings it and he also wrote all the music:
"Composer(s) Marco Hietala
/ Lyricist(s) Tuomas Holopainen"
From what I remember, Marco had this song lying around for quite a few years before Dark Passion Play. Apparently he really wanted to write a softer folk song but had absolutely no way to fit it into the line up for a band like Tarot. Nightwish and Tuomas though? Much better fit for the post-Tarja era. Maybe one of the best songs to come out of the two Annette albums.
"THE WEASELS ARE BACK"
Agree with many have already said...'High Hopes' is a good one to listen to. It's every bit as good as the Pink Floyd original, if not better.
Finally you did it, great! Keep going and check out While your lips still are red! Thank you, Ken, for excellent comments!
"If Gandalf could sing and play the guitar" Most apt description ive heard someone say so far haha
My favorite Marco solo is High Hopes from the End of an Era concert.
Marco has a couple of solo albums react to stones or voice of my father
Many others have recommended this already but: High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) from their End of Era concert - DEFINITELY!
That was a great reaction thankyou, more please.
His playing alone is amazing . That riff after the first chorus is legitimately one of the best Ive ever heard
Every time Floor sings .. goosebumps!!! Love Nightwish
Great review of a wonderful song. Do look up the lyrics. Two other things to comment on. Number one is how much Floor appreciates Marko. The smile on her face when he walks back could light the Stadium lights! The second is from my perspective as a drummer. What Kai did on this song is subtle and complicated, when you realize he essentially was using one hand because he had a shaker in the other. He was using ghost notes on the snare, and he had a few snare-tom-cymbal progressions one handed that requires skill, which he has in abundance. :)
Can we just spare a moment to chuckle at Marko's face (visible on the screen behind him) the second before rest of the band joins him? And honestly, this video just won't get boring no matter how many people I see react to it - it's a beautiful song, and a fantastic performance.
I've subscribed, can't wait to see what you're going to react to next!
Thanks MissIssay for subscribing. Hold tight for more future Nightwish videos.
Told you there were weasels in the Nightwish rabbit hole!!!.... I asked where the subtitles went too but then I worked it out. (refer Flavio Vergottini's comment.)... Another vote for "High Hopes" from End of Era (same show as Phantom with Tarja).. Emppu slays the solo too - in tribute to Dave Gilmour. "The Beast" (double guitar & bass) really weighs on Marko - hence the name!
While Your Lips Are Still Red @ Wembley 2015 ...its an amazing song for Marco
"High Hopes" and "While your lips are still red" are both amazing songs with Marco as the main vocalist!
'the weasels are back!' not normally a phrase uttered with so much joy.
Same concert - "the greatest show on earth"
man this is so much of why Im going to miss Marco.
tho, I can also see why 2020 has hit so hard. I think hes really missed touring, as taxing and arduous it must be, the joy on his and the rest of the band is evident, that must be one hell of a rush
Most excellent voice and collaboration between floor and himself. Luv it
Like everyone else said, you HAVE to do High Hopes! It's fantastic and Emppu gets to show some of his chops too!
My favourite, greatest show on earth. Marco and Floor kills it.
Marco has a whole Solo Album and his First Band is Named Tarot, Everyone should check those out
Another great performance from Marco is from the live version of Planet Hell which was uploaded in 2014, he shows some great aggresive vocals there and it's one of the earliest performances with Floor in the band, having joined as a then touring member just a couple of weeks prior
I recommend watching the music video for this song. It's very beautiful and emotional
Actually one of my favorites. The entire band is magical!🎸🤘
High hopes........you will love it!
Nightwish has so many good songs!! And such varied themes and feel on all their albums got to see them in the US live front in center was incredible
You should check out Marko's early work with his first band Tarot.
All of the Members of Nightwish are gifted beyond mere mortal levels. They make it look as though they don't even have to try. Great reaction, could you please do High Hopes next?
One amazing thing with Nightwish is that besides Emppu, the lead guitarist, they have TWO members (Marko and Troy) that could easily be hired as lead guitarists by many bands, but are more known for other instruments (and singing) in Nightwish.
Highly recommend 'stones' from marco's recent solo album, proper old school hard rock - love the reactions!!
Endlessness, from the new album... While your lips are still red, two very good songs
wonderful song
High hopes, the best performance Marco vocals so far!...the most powerfull, perfect and respect Cover i ever seen in my life... This song if original Pink Floyd
Honestly, as beautiful as the song is, I think his intro talk is my favorite part of this performance!
Great reaction!🤘 You could try Marko's solo project, for example Stones or The Voice of My Father from the album Pyre of the Black Heart.
While your lips are still red (wembley 2015) great performance with Marko as lead singer
Markko is just amazing. See his smile as the rest of his band fam get on. So beautifully done. All of them. 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼❤️🎤🔥 🎸 As others have mentioned Nightwish did their own version of High Hopes by Pink Floyd. Markko just nails this so much it had me ugly crying. Check it out when you can :D
High Hopes cover is essential viewing for more Marco. Possibly the most impressive singing live from Marco.
Please, please, PLEASE High Hopes from End of an Era. It's a fantastic tribute.
Kiss while your lips are still red, is a must. I believe it is from Wembley 2015. Such a beautiful piece. 🤘💯🤘
I respect Marco as a singer a lot because he has evolved and developed, and just learned his singing performance through the years. With every new Nightwish album, I always find Marco reaching new level as a singer. Comparing this performance of The Islander to the good old Once Upon the Trubadour (for example)- it's like lightyears away.
Marko started his playing with classical guitar.
Kiss while your lips are still red also so good from Marco Hietala
This is so good! Like the man said...you have to be good to have Floor as your backup.
They sound so good together.
Please react to "Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt (Piano Version) - Hurricane Festival 2013 - Proshot". It's one of Till Lindemann's best live performances.
I agree
I subscribed - and want to point out I left the comment that got a ton of likes on the last Nightwish video, asking you to react to this one. Not sure if it was a factor in you choosing this song to react to, but I'd like to think it was ^.^
Thanks for subbing Michael - your comment may have had a hand in my choosing it for today. (it absolutely did)
Love youre reaction 🎼🤘🏼 support from Italy
High Hopes 🙏🏻🤷🏻♀️❤️🎶🇩🇰
Check out "While your lips are still red" from the Wembly concert. Yoy will love it!!
I so like your enthusiasm =)

Hi Ken, greetings from France ! Congrats for your channel, for your covers and for your reaction videos ! big up
While Your Lips are Still Red live at Wembley is another song that he does lead vocals and Floor backs him up. Not a lot of reactions to this performance. Another good one is they're cover of Pink Floyd- High Hopes where he does all the singing
THANK YOU! 😊
You're welcome 😊
One of my favorites 👌🏻 thanks again! I’ve been subscribed! Keep up the great work 🤘🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
wow! if you want more , react to his own band Tarot - Follow me into madness (live dvd undead indeed), and of course Nightwish's cover of High hopes (live end of an era)
Marco is one of my very favorite singers. His solo stuff is great, his other band Tarot is great. He's great.
the official music video is also awesome 🤘
This song was written by Marco, so I guess he can take whatever liberties he wishes in singing it. I consider it a very special and unique Nightwish song and performance.
Marco Hietala actually has a solo album out now. It's called "Pyre of the Black Heart". It's definitely worth a listen.
High Hopes!
I don't watch every of your videos (sorry) :) but I have seen many and I have seen many of youtube reactions from other... I just want to tell you, every time I watch your video, it is a pleasure. You are one of the best.
Wow, thank you Pavol that means a lot to me. I appreciate your honesty as well - it is all good :) - i post a lot of commentary every week, I am just glad you came back!
Absolute high hopes pink Floyd cover. Marko and the rest are perfect!👌
I subscribed .. a Long time ago, no regrets .. please continue, love it
Gladly subbed. 💞👍Loving your delightful reactions to this amazing gathering of talented ⭐ artists, led mainly by Tuomas, 💖 the Metal Maestro Mozart.
The Nightwish Army will guide your path to them.
You should definitely check out his solo album "pyre of the black heart".
I’m subscribing so that I don’t miss your High Hopes cover reaction... Marko is superb!👌🏼👏
