Well. Actually no. Tuomas is kind of introvert and you wouldn't get much out of him. You would be better informed by watching documentaries that are made of the band as he opens up more when the interview is done in long format over days and weeks. For a shorter interview, you want Floor :)

Kinslayer and Gethsemane are both great!

The male singer is Tapio Wilska. He is a friend of the band and sang on a couple of songs from the album "Oceanborn", and since he also worked as a tour tech for Nightwish, they could invite him on stage to perform his parts live every show. The bass player here is Sami Vänskä, and if I'm not mistaken, this is his last tour with the band. P.S. And Emppu plays Washburn guitar here, not Jackson. :)

The singer is Tapio Wilska, after Tuomas stopped singing and before Marko entered the band he would be the male voice in songs like Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean, Pharaoh Sails to Orion and 10th Man Down. The other guy is Sami Vänskä, he played bass with them before Marko , on the first two albums Emmpu would record the bass parts but Sami would play them live.

This whole concert is wonderful. It would be nice to explore it a little more.

From the dvd "From wishes to eternity", I suggest as next songs "Swanheart", "Dead boy's poem" and "Walking in the air". These songs are three ballads. Thanks!

I highly recommend Sleeping Sun live from End of an era, imo the greatest Nightwish ballad.

"The Pharaoh..." my secret gem from the vaults of time. I so love this song from the first time I heard it, perfectly placed to pick up the listener close to the end ot the epochal "Oceanborn" album. The last smash as it were, before "Walking in the Air" gently lets us go... I rarely hear it reacted to, or demanded (with NIGHTWISH, there are just soo many masterpieces this ought to fight to make the Top 10...), and this reaction just makes the instant that more special. Truly, this is a song where all the instruments get to shine, and they shine in a nighty blaze, both vocals included - and outstanding. :))) I hope this vid is shared the world over, 'cause I bet even a horde of "new" NIGHTWISH fans are oblivious to it. As a further step, I would REALLY love you to take a listen to "Beauty OF the Beast", a seldom-heard epic off their "Century Child" album. The "OF" is important, as there exists a NIGHTWISH song by the name of "Beauty AND the Beast" - good, but not so good as this one. The only drawback - no hi quality vid I know of. That too must have contributed to a certain neglect in the collective memory. But what a song it is! To my mind, it stands head to head with "Ghost Love Score" - minus the final note, which was Floor's creation anyway. :)) Go for it, Chase. \m/

It's very interesting to see in their early songs, before they had the budget to have a full orchestra, how Tuomas was filling that space with keyboard work that's less used in their latest stuff. Truly a master.

Plz listen to the live version of The Siren (End of an Era DVD) and Walking in the Air (Tampere 2000) with Tarja

Phantom of the Opera by Nightwish!

Man you need a tour on early Nightwish/Tarja era. That Nightwish was very different to today's Nightwish. Gethsemane for next reaction

Hitting the keys got better for Tuomas in 20 years for sure. But this was the song that got me into Nightwish. And I stuck with them until the Anette era. Poor Anette just had too big shoes to fill in my opinion. Sometimes I can kick myself for not following them in the Anette period though, since it seems they made some of their best music then. Floor made me join the army again. What an amazing band this was and still is. More unpolished back then perhaps, but still amazing. Love your reviews Chase.

If you're into Tarja's long vocal lines, you should definitely check her solo work - songs like Crimson Deep, Deliverance, Supremacy(Muse cover), Still of the Night (Whitesnake cover).

Finally an old school song from a magnificent performance! Tarja really had a big set of pipes back then.

But I guess you already know all this since I'm commenting 2 hours after the premiere lol :D. Also, young Tuomas looks wierd :D

This song is from an album called Oceanborn, which has a huge Power Metal vibe, a lot of double kicking and speed guitars... One of the best NW albums (if not the best). Funny thing is, it's white and black to the actual Nightwish.

Nice selection :) totally with you on this

Tapio Wilska is the guy here, who is doing the deep aggressive vocals. He is the vocalist of Finntroll, and has guest appeared in a couple of the older Nightwish songs, even on the most recent tour (Decades 2018) he sang live with them during this song which was on the setlist. Decades featured many songs that have not been played live in many years, and even some newer songs. Most of the songs on that setlist will never be played live again. It was like a time warp journey. For most of us who have been fans since the Tarja era, it was an incredible experience to have. This was also before Marko, the bassist here would be Sami Vanska, who departed nightwish due to "creative differences" if I remember correctly. This song was the first song I'd ever heard by nightwish back in 2000, after my mom had showed me. I use to be very into black metal and such. I fell in love immediately. my mom, having always been a metal head, had become a fan after my adopted brother sent her back a couple cds from Europe where he'd been stationed. Great review. For me, the live version is of course amazing but you do kind of lose some of the small nuances you hear in the album version (this song is from the Oceanborn album) Thanks again for your Insights and breakdown, Chase!

You should also do Swanheart, from the same DVD. You'll love it, goes straight to the heart. Enjoy 🙂

The remastered video! kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGl8wdpmYJPdnbg.html It hasn't yet been found by people. Amazing quality! Edit: ah, there is a new version of it, updated the link.

Regarding your questions about songwriting: I remember reading somewhere that the genesis of this song was when Emppu presented a very oriental/egyptian sounding riff to Tuomas and that the entire song was built around that riff. But I read that probably ten to thirteen years ago so I might misremember things. Also, your initial reaction was so priceless. That was the look of a man who came into this expecting symphonic metal and instead got a fistful of power metal right into the face. You should do more early Nightwish stuff. I mean, their current symphonic stuff is great, but don't look down on their power metal days.

No, it isn't Marco. Sammy was the original bass player but he did not sing. Marco started with Nightwish in 2001.

Heh, 20 years ago. Tuomas, Emppu and Jukka were still young and handsome. Well, Tarja is today more beautiful than ever! - In 2001 Tuomas asked the band's manager to tell Sami Vänskä (bass player) to leave Nightwish, when he felt that the musical differences between the two men were posing a threat to the band. He was soon replaced by Marko Hietala.

Thank you for this reminder. I am a fan since Oceanborn, i saw them live on that tour, i had the DVD, i saw this performance a thousand times and i almost forgot it since Floor came in. Tarja was great, no matter what.

I´m glad you´re discovering old time Nightwish. Have you consider react to Tarja in her solo career?

OG Nightwish, nice! These are a real treat to see and also showcase the longevity of the band. They do however also make me feel old as well...

The guy singing is Tapio Wilska. He was a guest vocalist on some of their songs before Nightwish hired Marco. Sami Vänskä was their bass player for their first few albums, and Marco replaced him when they did their Century Child album.

That contrast of voices is just amazing. A lot different from the harmonics with Marko and singer (Tarja, Annette or Floor). Hadn't heard this one in a while and, once again, your description is spot on. Kudos for catching that "double finger" slip up on the keyboard, it just goes to show that "Metal Mozart" is human after all. I'm gonna ask you again, Chase, that accent?. 😂

Thank you so much for reacting to this song! Never seen reactions to Pharaoh Sails to Orion before. It is one of my favourite songs, I remember when I was 14 and watched the whole DVD like every week 😂

O/T: She has a holiday album re-release of her 2017 "From Spirits and Ghosts (Score for a Dark Christmas)" with some new tracks and her voice really does shine in her element.

What a pleasant surprise to see a reaction to this wonderful classic! I'd love to see you take a side journey sometime into some of the lesser-known Nightwish songs--like, do a rough frequency analysis of the suggestions you get, pick a few that have gotten the *fewest*. For example, I don't think I've ever seen anyone--ever--do a reaction to "Beauty of the Beast" (not Beauty AND the Beast, different song--confusing, I know). I went looking, but I couldn't find a good-quality live version. I always had that song and Ghost Love Score back-to-back in my playlists, they're both long epics. Anyway, keep on keeping on and have a great day!

Tarja Undertaker ( Live in Milan )

lyrics to the song "Get away from me! Take heed to thyself and see my face no more! For in the day Thou see my face Thou shalt die!" - Exodus 10: 28 A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth A holy harbour - Orion Nautical ascension to the firmament Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral "Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee" Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb "Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee" Reveal your face to me and guide me through the Stygian fields Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve Your will Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance Ruling with the scythe of death you tear our philosophies apart An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars "Open thy veins for my venom Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue So shalt thou join the empyrean circus Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance In this twilight cathedral Shall I wed thee, O Bride of the Netherworld" Sailing on the distant seas... Join my soul the Hunter in the sky

You interviewing Tuomas? Truly a dream worth....chasing.... Heck what is wrong with me today. XD And all the questions have been answered already anyway. That performance is a great example of the time before they "realised" that they "don't need to show off anymore for the sake of it". So yeah, there is much to pay attention to and somehow you're the machine that does instantly notice every damn thing. I don't know what magic that is, but kudos! You said yes to the best genes!

This is one of my all time favorite songs by them. And this live is so awesome. Tapio growls his part and Sami does the bass (this live was after release Wishmaster album ...no Marco yet in the band). Good that you noted also the keyboard playing by Tuomas ... just grand as you explained...and one miss hit...makes it complete...he is, however, human still.

I think Tarja's vocals shine much more on the first few albums (this song is from the second album), because those albums have a much more power metal -style. And if you think about it, power metal usually has those high, soaring vocals that fit very well with the music, and operatic vocals are basically the same. Tarja's pretty much singing your typical power metal melodies in this song, but she's just doing it in a much more classical style.

This is a REAL NIGHTWISH...!!!

I am vey new Nightwish fan ( less than 2 months) so I have heard mostly Floor ( whom I love ) as main female singer.. I have never heard this song before this reactor's breakdown .. This song , with Tarja is amazing!!

Hee, I was just listening to this today and thinking you're going to have a field day with it once you get around to it. One of my absolute favourite NW songs, very ambitious one too for its time. Sometimes I'm just astounded by the fact that Tuomas wrote this stuff when he was barely even 20.
