Well, you mentioned versatility, so let's see how the totals add up. Among the six performing members of Nightwish, we have (that I know of) three lead guitarists, three lead singers, three drummers, two bass guitarists, 3 keyboard players, a flautist, a clarinettist, and one who can get a tune out of almost anything. All are among the best in the world on their primary instrument(s), of which at least four are simply unrivalled. Between them, they can play anything except badly. They have become almost an accidental supergroup. We are very lucky to be on this earth at the same time as they are.
It's way too much fun watching people tumble down this rabbit hole! These Nightwish reactions have literally become a hobby of mine over the last year+ . Also, It's obvious that you're absolutely head-over-heels for Floor - and NO ONE BLAMES YOU. It's happened to millions of us. Hopefully you're subscribed to her channel - she posts lots of wonderful stuff there.
A great double reaction. Floor as both main and backup vocalist. It's not just Floor's vocal range but also the versatility of her voice that makes her stand out. Her performances on the Beste Zangers show are so worthwhile. Happy New Year!!
Those 105 down votes were probably Justin Bieber fans. We all know they have no taste. Not gonna take you up on your challenge - I don't believe there is another vocalist around who can match Floor's abilities. Might be others who can sing higher, louder, more operatically, etc but none who can do it all with such style and grace.
Floor is the top female vocalist in our era. Not just metal or symphonic metal ... but all genres. Prove me wrong lol. 😂. Then Troy is mind blowing with his talents to be able to play so many instruments at top level. Nightwish is like a fantasy football roster. I mean if you take all the band members of all the symphonic metal bands and have a fantasy draft ... All five of Nightwish members would be taken first pick ... I doubt there would be any members left on the board after the first round. Lol
The part about meeting where the cliff meets the sea is about Floor meeting her husband Hannes and the one that came from me is about her daughter Freja. I little bonus to Floor from Tuomas.
”One might someday be cool enough to have a long, braided viking beard. And one might someday be cool enough to have that beard AND be bassist for the greatest metal band in the world. But you’ll never be cool enough to have that beard, be that bassist, AND have Floor Jansen as your BACKUP singer!”
NASA (Nightwish Army Scottish Allegiance) have a listen to 'Kiss...while your lips are still Red' beautiful vocals from Marco and Floor and some very stunning EBow play by Troy ....... Stunningly beautiful, greetings from Scotland
what i love about the islander is that it rly shows off how good of a musician marco is. not only is he a great bassist but and amazing singer and guitarist as well. and on top of that he wrote the entire song himself so he's also a great songwriter. i love floor, but marco is easily my favorite part of nightwish.
Haha! It's quite a lot of beans to a half oz. Both of these acoustic performances are excellent and show beautifully the high caliber of musicianship they possess. About versatlity, you might not be seen Floor on "Bezte zangers 2019" and Marko on "Masked singer Finland 2020". There their versatility really flourished. Thank you and Happy New Year! ⛄👍
You think she's versatile now... but you haven't seen anything yet. Wait until you sink your teeth into the Beste Zangers performances. ------- As for Marko, you've just got to hear some of his solo work. I've linked my favorite here. _Stones_ (Marko Hietala, Official Music Video) - th-cam.com/video/ifc3gBsM6B0/w-d-xo.html
First Marko's super performance in front of 22.000 people - ans the Floor and Troy..... In the interview earlier in this Planet Rock Radio performance, Troy calls Floor's voice "Stratospheric" - and that might just be the truth. The breathing and voice techniques she uses here are insane - I believe we and down to a handful of other performers that are able to do this - not match Floor, but just do it!!. You should consider "The Carpenter" (Buenos Aires 2018) and "Kiss while your lips are still red" (Wembley 2015) - for songs where Floor is doing backup - and Troy and Marko in lead.
Happy New Year stay healthy. Yes Nightwish really hits you in your hard. And that's what makes this band so unique. And indeed those 100 and some are people who are jealous that they can't sing so well themselves. Keep up your good reaction. Greetings from a Fan from the Netherlands.
Great reaction Shaun Marko is an amazing singer and Floor is an awesome backup singer You should react to -while your lips are still red (wacken 2008) amazing performance by Marko Happy new year Shaun
Today, I had a nice Hawaiian Macadamia Nut blend, medium roast. Great reactions! FYI, I recently watched some of Marco's other work, including his Christmas and Finland Masked Singer performances, and I perceive him as more and more amazing the further I am exposed. He really is a world-class vocalist.
The part where the subtitles got left out translates to something along the lines of, "If I do the chorus, will you all sing with me? You'll sing? Okay, let's do it!" That custom instrument he's playing, known as "The Beast" is a hybrid Warwick Infinity bass/Framus Panthera guitar (Framus being owned by Warwick; Marko exclusively uses Warwick basses), weighing in around 24 pounds if I remember correctly, and with a $7000-ish price tag.
Yep, or even "If I play the chorus, you will sing along? You will? OK, then we'll do it!" Exactly the same difference, it just depends on who translates it ! Hope all you cats are doing good and the staff is taking care of them. :-)
Nah, Marco doesn't need Floor, but he is one of the very few who are able to HAVE her as backing vocal. A lot of people need her or Marco for the same matter, but will never have either of them.
🤔 Floor also plays guitar, flute and piano. A talented bunch they are...😀 Versatile yes check also Floors version of Puccini performed in a Dutch tv program and Stabat Matar that she sings with Simone Simons during an Epica concert...
Marko has classical guitar training on top of his bass playing. Did you hear that Marko just won the Finnish version of "The Masked Singer". Look for his performances on YT. His character was called Tohtori (Doctor). See link. He did several songs besides this one. th-cam.com/video/7IPEyOyl7f0/w-d-xo.html - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - The Masked Singer
Beste Zangers , stars Floor Jansen and Henk Poort that sing the phantom of the opera.among other great songs to other good singers.. You should check out the Beste Zangers, but save "The phantom of the opera" that Floor and Henk sing together for a live reaction. It's the best version with their voices. Hope you look into it in the near future..
I honestly believe Floor is the Female version of Freddie Mercury and Nightwish are the modern equivalent of Queen, perhaps they didn't have the outright commercial success they deserved, but find me anyone who is better live
Shaun, Happy New Year !! I can't see a piezo pick-up on the Framus bridge, but Marko and Emppu use Kemper profiling amps, so the acoustic sound might well be a Kemper profile. Who knows !! There's two more instances of Marko using the six string that you'll come across. Yeh, you're right, every one is a banger. Hey, a very pregnant Floor doing O Holy Night in Finnish from the Finnish metal rock Christmas: th-cam.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/w-d-xo.html Great reaction and loving the coffee bean facts !!
I have how's the heart both versions on me mp3 player when they come on i feel like i'm going to burst into tears lol .Floor gets emotional with this because Tuomas wrote the section and line, one that came from me, for Floor its referencing her own little girl Freja.
Dude, I am with you and the Floor thing, she always tries to end strong in a song. Have you checked out her new solo Ave Maria, metal background but beautiful Floor voice over the top?
You've never seen a double neck guitar? They were really popular back in the late 70s through the mid 80s. I recommend a reaction to Rush's Xanadu if you've never heard it. There's an EPIC live performance from Exit Stage Left, where Geddy Lee is (like Marco) playing a 4-string bass on top with a 6 string guitar on bottom (though I think Marco's is acoustic/electric combo, where Geddy's is just electric). Alex Lifeson is playing a 12-string on top and a 6-string on bottom, both electric. They each use both necks during the song. Xanadu, Exit Stage Left: th-cam.com/video/VuHS-gjMiVw/w-d-xo.html
Hey, if you are into guitar then you should definitely check out Tina setkic a French girl guitarist playing moonlight sonata on electric guitar at 17 and dragon force through the fire and the flames cover at 15, years old awesome thanks 😊
Have you checked out Floor's 'Beste Zangers ' performances?
Every one of them is exquisite...wonderful performances. Great show too..
the smile on Marco's face when the band comes in..... great!

I feel the same way.
Floor....I know....but Troy singing so gentle in the background........perfection!
Legend has it troys ears are still ringing
He is almost deaf by now
I love how happy Floor is for Marco as he’s walking back up the catwalk 😊
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. You're right. Floor is a musical part for the rest of our live. Doesn't it feel great? 🙂
Absolutely.

Fun fact. The nation that drinks most coffee per capita in the world produces also the best metal bands...
the 2nd most coffee drinking per capita gives u black metal ;)

Not gonna take you up on your challenge - I don't believe there is another vocalist around who can match Floor's abilities. Might be others who can sing higher, louder, more operatically, etc but none who can do it all with such style and grace.
the only one who ive heard that can kinda compare is devin townsend. he seemingly does whatever he wants with his voice without any effort
I get goosebumps watching Marko sing, but my goosebumps get goosebumps watching Floor - great double reaction bud, thankyou 🤘
Floor wanted to sing with Freddy Mercury when she was young. She admired the Master of Voice and Enteraiment
Floor is the top female vocalist in our era. Not just metal or symphonic metal ... but all genres. Prove me wrong lol. 😂.

Who are you missing out? Nightwish have six members.
Phil Lee Oops that was a brain fart. I meant 6. Lol
@@stups9975 I always think of them as an accidental supergroup.
That same session they also did an acoustic version of their song, "Nemo". Might be another one to learn to play.
Sweet. Yeah "Nemo" is on my list. I have seen videos have been posted on acoustic covers. I can't wait to hear it!
And that is the tale of how Troy lost the hearing in his right ear.
The part about meeting where the cliff meets the sea is about Floor meeting her husband Hannes and the one that came from me is about her daughter Freja. I little bonus to Floor from Tuomas.
Yes, it was great from Tuomas..it shows respect. In my opionon, he think, ok, what i ever writing. Floor can sing it..🤗
Where the cliff greets the sea, is also in Elan, that is the term Tuomas used to refer when he called Floor to join the tour in 2012.

And Floor will be a back up singer for him with all of her beautiful being.

I recommend listening The Islander music video with Anette. It's longer and you'll get the story behind it.
Great reaction Shaun
Marko is an amazing singer and Floor is an awesome backup singer
You should react to
-while your lips are still red (wacken 2008) amazing performance by Marko
Happy new year Shaun
she is a beast
Well that’s a great start to the new year, thx Shaun !! 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
You should really check out "while you're lips are still red " by Nightwish. Another versatile great song 🎵.
Your channel is a perfect fit for me. I drink at least 2 pots of coffee a day and prefer a nice dark roast. Thanks for the videos
Glad to hear that! Where are you joining us from?

How's the heartburn, Emppu thought as he found out he is the third best guitar player in the band.
Happy new year mate! Here's to a good one. Cheers from Oz
The non-subtitled goes something like this "If I sing the chorus will you sing along? yeah. You will? YEAH! Ok let's do it".
Marco... so good at singing, he need floor as a backup singer
Nah, Marco doesn't need Floor, but he is one of the very few who are able to HAVE her as backing vocal.
A lot of people need her or Marco for the same matter, but will never have either of them.
Love acoustic, do a double reaction to Epica-Abyss of time, First "normal" and than acoustic! Brilliant!
I love that idea. I definitely will. Thanks!!
Agree, buddy. She's in our hearts
You should also check out the acoustic version of Nemo from the same session. It's one of my favorites!!
Nice, happy new year! We love coffee in Finland,,,,
Thanks shaun, very nice reaction!!!! And a ver happy new year to you and your children, wish you al the best 😊😊😊

I did! Backstreet Boys?!? Hilarious.
Marko's electric guitar on his 'double-neck' probably uses a 'Piezo pickup' to get the sound of an acoustic guitar. Many guitarists use this.
Yeah I love the sound in The Islander.
My guess was in one pound of ground coffee there is one pound of beans...lol
You should hear her in revamp-disdain or revamp-wildcard
Absolutely! I am recording my Disdain reaction later today so keep an eye out for that one.
