Kiitos ystava! Since this first listen, I've incorporated it into my workout routine. It's perfect! I'm happy you are here with us, my friend. I know what my mom had to go through so I can only imagine what you had to endure. Greetings from NY🤘❤️🤘
This song is rage made into an awesome piece of music. Often angry songs become just shouting and screaming this stays melodic. An absolute master piece 🤘
Yes, I'm very happy they did! Their voices blend so well together. Already did Left on Mars, my friend. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/6fCUnILdMD0/w-d-xo.html
The band is playing just as angry as Marco is singing... part of the trilogy involving the drama with Tarja, Bye Bye beautiful is for her... this one is for her husband Marcelo, who became Nightwish version of Yoko Ono to make a long story short.... the Poet and the pendulum pertains to the fallout from the fans and public all blaming Tuomas wrongly He was neither the cause of the situation, or the sole reason for Tarja's departure when they chose to let her go.
Even in this heavy piece Tuomas - the Metal Mozart - shows his great way to compose. I guess this song in the morning with a cup of dark black coffee gets you ready for a day.
When listening to songs like "Sleeping Sun" or "Slow, love, slow" it is easy to forget that Nightwish is a METAL band. But they still are and have always been. I love their heavier songs like this one, "Yours is an empty hope" or "Tribal". And if you like "heavy Marco" listen to his band Tarot.
Thank you so much, my friend! I have only done one song from Tarot and that was the cover of 'Mama' by Genesis. Yes, I loved Tribal, too! I love a band that does different tempos and has different 'feels' in their music which is why I gravitate to Nightwish. An extremely dynamic band! 🤘❤️🤘
I saw that you have a Black Sabbath poster on the wall. In June, a Finnish music magazine interviewed Tony Iommi and the interview also brought up his relationship with two Finnish bands, H.I.M. and Nightwish. Here is a translation of that. Without the pioneering work of Black Sabbath, even the big names of Finnish heavy music could not have been born. HIM is a familiar name to you from the family circle and I have also assumed that you like Nightwish. - My daughter Toni-Marie was once together with HIM guitarist Linde (Mikko Lindström). However, I don't know about the band's current status. What about them? HIM stopped in 2017. Waiting for a comeback, that is. - I see! Well, Toni-Marie also introduced me to Nightwish. She was enthusiastic about the band and we went to see them in Birmingham years ago. And that's how it happened that I got excited about the band's work. At that time, Nightwish's bassist and singer was Marco Hietala. He is a die-hard Black Sabbath fan. - I met Marco after the gig. We chatted for a while and he seemed like a really nice guy. It had already become clear earlier that evening that he is a top class musician.
Thank you for the info, my friend! Tony was introduced to Nightwish through his daughter like I was introduced to them through all of you wonderful fans! I'm glad Marko got to meet a musical hero of his! Tony is a great guy as is Marko, so it's no wonder they would hit it off. maybe someday a collaboration between those two? 🙏
It's understandable that this will never be played live, the anger and the passion are long in the past. Everyone has moved on. But, at the same time, it is a pity because this is such a dark masterpiece. It is perfect in it's emotion. It goes to prove that you really don't want to get Tuomas angry, especially when he has Marko and the guys to back him up. This band amazes me. I don't know if there is anything that they can't do. You're right, of course, Bill, this is pure thrash, at is finest.
Personally, nothing makes me happier that they have all moved on and what Marko and Tarja do together is magical. It's like that angry letter sent (or not) after a bitter breakup. You know I'm a big fan of progressive metal, well I'm an even bigger fan of aggressive metal! 😁Thank you, my dear friend! ❤️❤️
Their heaviest song. Yep ,angry Nightwish. Even the way Marko sings it sounds angry. Directed at Tarja's manager/husband ,Marcelo. Musically a great song. Unlike the other 2 songs directed at the breakup, this has never been played live , and never will be. Of the other 2, you've done The Poet and the Pendulum, but haven't got to "Bye Bye Beautiful" yet. When you do get to it, suggest the remastered live version from the 2008 Exit festival, as the music video usually gets blocked in some countries, including the US and Canada. But ,watch the music video later on your own.
Heaviest ✔️ Angriest ✔️ Marko unhinged ✔️ I absolutely loved it in all it's beautiful aggression. I didn't even have Bye Bye Beautiful on my list but it's there now! I'm gonna try to do it even if I have to put a watermark over it or whatever. Thanks, buddy. I always appreciate your knowledge and guidance. 🤘❤️🤘
Wow! That was intense! Definitely gets your blood pumping. Thankfully, I woke up in a good mood this morning, or i might've been thrashing around smashing things! 😂 Thank you! ❤❤
If you heard Marko's demo of TPATP then you know what angry is! This is more and harder! Yes, uncle Bill! I am still here, just quieter! Listening better! Not the first to mention Slayer but you won't be the last - so right too! You can hear how even a second or two of Emppu's riff would really tease the crowd at a gig (never done in full live) !! ..... and that brass at the end! Valar Dohaeris!
Valar Dohaeris brother! All Men Must Serve- and that's what I do! Yeah, quiet. I've been wondering where you're at. I hope to see more angry Nightwish in the future lol. Such a killer track! Peace my brother and oh yeah................SLAAAAAYER!! 🤘🤘
If this was the first and only song I heard from them I would be an instant fan. It would be on my playlist without any thought as to the meaning behind it. It's a freaking masterpiece! 🤘❤️🤘
The whole thing with Tarja's firing was extremely divisive and public, that's the reason NW fans rarely like comparing any of their vocalists. It left deep scars in the band and Tarja, but with years the relations have been largely mended from cordial to actual collaboration. Glad to see no anger last for long.
I'm very happy to see that too. I just wish NW fans could reconcile. Unfortunately, there's a whole lot of comparing going on even still. I've tried to mediate long arguments in the comments about this one being 'better' than that one. Well, it is what it is. But at least it's a thing of the past to the members of the band and I enjoy the work Marko and Tarya have been doing together. Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
And then there was the music. From the glorious, cinematic bombast of Master Passion Greed (special video) th-cam.com/video/Bkib0dIziXk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Vl1hqfKS1HGLgpB_
I've always thought that the last minute of the song is like the greatest James Bond theme that we haven't heard yet.
Yeah that horn section was a melody they played in James Bond movies! Not the first type thing, I've heard in their songs, which works well!
@@mardroidmk1393 Yeah that explains it. I never thought or knew about the details, was just a feeling 😄
Completely agree! I even went back just to hear it again and I concur with you, my friend. 007 to the max! 🤘❤️🤘
Yep! Heavy as hell. Thanks for this reaction. This was my power song in bad cancer treatment days. Greetings from Tampere, Finland.

I Love the sound of angry. Nightwish! Greetings from nwAse Sweden
Tack min man! 🫡So do I!!!
Greetings from NY 🤘❤️🤘
This song is rage made into an awesome piece of music. Often angry songs become just shouting and screaming this stays melodic. An absolute master piece 🤘
I agree with you, my friend. Thank you 🤘❤️🤘
This gonna be first time for me too, and Iám huge Nightwish fan
It's so KICK ASS!! Hope you liked it, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
My favorite lyrics from this song, "The reek of your lies draws flies". Empuu playing his ass off in this song. Love this song.
Emppu really is kicking ass on this track! Oh man, I love that line! 🤘❤️🤘
"Kids, buckle up." Yes, indeed.
Think I still got whiplash! 😁
Excellent choice, @WNYretiree! That song is so angry because of both the music and Marko's obvious anger towards Marcelo!
I agree, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
And now, near 20 years later, Marko and Tarja buried their angry differences and made a new song together: "Left on Mars". Check it!
Yes, I'm very happy they did! Their voices blend so well together. Already did Left on Mars, my friend. Here's the link:

Oh, yes, my friend! Strong black coffee and watch out world! 🤘❤️🤘
This is what a pissed-off Tuomas can do....
That there is blood-boiling anger! Seeing red, rage!! Scary sh*t! 🤘❤️🤘
Checking in from Michigan, USA.
Angriest NW ever!🤘
At ease, soldier🫡Yes sir, angry as hell!! 🤘❤️🤘

@@BemusingBill Whatever version on Bye Bye Beautiful you react to, it will be Anette Olzon and Marko on vocals.
🤘
🤘❤️🤘
Wow! That was intense! Definitely gets your blood pumping. Thankfully, I woke up in a good mood this morning, or i might've been thrashing around smashing things! 😂 Thank you! ❤❤
Perfect to start a workout to! Glad you're in a good mood, my friend! May it last all day! 🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤🤘🏼👹Marko showing his teeth, love this song. I think it is the heaviest in the arsenal up to now, wish they did more of it.
Yes! I was picturing him like he was in Planet Hell with those wide crazy eyes and snarling grin! Love it! 🤘❤️🤘
I understand Tuomas said he wrote this after some drinks and came back the next day and took out most of the curse words that he originally put in.
He should have left it alone 😂😂
❤ ❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the link, my friend! I'll have to react to that version as well! 🤘❤️🤘
I wonder if it's their only song where the F-word is used.
Good question! If so, it adds to the anger in this masterpiece.
Yes, only Nightwish song, other than demos, where profanity is used.
