Troy plays multiple types of instruments. If you like the Celtic sound of his Irish Uilleann pipes I highly recommend you react to "My Walden" from the Wembley 2015 concert

Nightwish doing Nightwish things.

Her stage presence is unbelievable - definitely agree!

Great job, this is an older song , Troy was playing the Irish Uilleann Pipes , they are driven by a bellows under the right elbow that he pumps up while playing to produce the air unlike the Scottish bag pipes that get blown in to for air flow . They have a keltic sound in a lot of songs . Since you liked this because of the keltic sound then may I suggest another like this "My Walden" live in Tampere 2015 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrKqgNuCs9iwfKc.html&pp=ygUjbXkgd2FsZGVuIG5pZ2h0d2lzaCBsaXZlIGF0IHRhbXBlcmU%3D

This song wasn't written for Floor either, but really, hasn't every song essentially been written for Floor, the way she makes them her own? 🤷‍♂️

By the way , Troy is playing the Uilleann pipes ! Next : Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean . please ! And try Floor and Henk Poort singing The Phantom Of The Opera on Beste Zangers , a Dutch show !

Many Nightwish songs have a folky sound, in fact that was the original intention when the band was first formed. Those pipes are Troy's main instrument. He has always been involved with folky music, so he really fitted in when he joined Nightwish after being a session player with them for a few years. The bassist, Marco Hietala is also a very versatile singer. Both he and Floor can do anything from classical clean vocals to rock and metal screams and growls. Marco takes lead vocal in a few Nightwish songs. He's also fronted a few bands previous to joining. He has left Nightwish, taking a couple of years off due to disillusionment with the music industry and depression. He seems recovered now and has been performing music live again, from his solo album. Marco looks even more like a viking. He and Floor have often been described as a viking and a valkyrie!

This great concert took place in 30.9.2018. The live cd/dvd/bluray "Decades" released in 6.12.2019, which is a Finland's Independence Day. This was the first time ever, when live album topped our charts. ⛄❄👍

Troy is playing the Uilleann pipes i believe is how its spelled.

I Want My Tears Back Floor might be my favorite Floor (they’re all my favorites but this one a bit more than others 😂). She has so much fun and such a huge smile during this song. It’s such a fun song live.

the Uilleann pipes are from Ireland sort of bagpipes.

All the songs from Wacken 2013 and this song, were written for previous singers. Although, she has made several of them her own now. For one written for Floor maybe try the 2015 tour opener, Shudder Before the Beautiful. I like the Wembley version. Keep exploring Nightwish!

"Before the years take me I wish to see the lost in me" I'm old so this verse gets me in the feels

When Floor is speaking, she is not projecting as much. Due to her classical and music theater training, her singing voice projects much more (not as much as when she's doing actual opera). That is why volume was diff in beginning... the FOH has volume set for her singing level.

Floor does a quite impressive double bicep pose right at the end there - I'm guessing she's familiar with bars and barbells too.🇬🇧🤘🤘

Aww... You just had to cut off Marko's comment at the very end? "It's a tango country!" Don't prematurely end a NW song/video, you may miss something. FYI, turn off Autoplay, then you can watch videos till the very end.

Great reaction to a great song!

Tx for a great reaction and please don’t worry about those comments about the pronunciation of Wacken or other things. I am a German and I could not care less about pronunciations, keep doing your great reactions and just enjoy this wonderful musical art from Nightwish and our Metal Goddess Floor Jansen!😊

try : After Forever (Floor's first band) with DreamFlight (live ofcourse)....I think you'll like it

Great reaction and great introduction to the crazy South American metal fans. You can always count on them to take the show to the next level. The chant from the crowd was an adaptation of the local football(soccer) club chant praising Nightwish. This performance was from the Decades tour which was a celebration of over 20 years of Nightwish music and included a number of songs that had not been played in decades. Concert was in 2018 but the DVD this video is from was released in 2019. I think this is your first time seeing multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley. He is English and is playing the Uillieann Pipes, the national bagpipes of Ireland. They differ from Scottish bagpipes in that they use a bellows under the right arm to inflate the bag leaving the mouth free for singing (Troy was singing harmony along with Marko and Floor) or having a pint while playing in the pub. Uillieann is Gaelic for elbow. This song is from the Imaginaerum album, a concept album about a composer on his deathbed looking back on his life. This song is about the desire to return to our youth where we felt everything more passionately. As we get older and gain experience we became jaded and look at life with less joy and wonder. Thus the composer's desire to "want my tears back" i.e. to once again feel things strong enough to cry. For more Celticy sounds try My Walden (from Endless Forms Most Beautiful and written for Floor's voice) where you will get a little of Troy singing in Welsh (I think?), Elevenjig/Elvenpath (live in Buenos Aries or Bogota), Elan or Harvest (Troy singing lead). For a really great song written for Floor try How's the Heart, acoustic from Planet Rock, or Shoemaker. I prefer the lyric video for Shoemaker but the live performance from either Hellfest or Deichbrand in 2022 are pretty epic.

"Dead Boys Poem" same concert!!!!

Troy also sings. 3 part harmonies with this band are magical. His voice is not strong, like Marko, but he gets the job done!

Hi Bars & Barbells , great reaction , i like watching the 2 of you ! Keep up the good work !

A Suggestion, (and I learned this the hard way) always stick with Nightwish videos until the screen goes black. On this one you missed Marco's mirth at the very end. There are several I'm sure you'll get to in the future that you'll see why it's a good idea. ;-)

The Wacken festival is in Germany so the W is pronounced like a V. The first major song written for Floor was “Yours Is an Empty Hope”

Love everything that Nightwish does, but this one is a favorite. Always great seeing Troy too.

Oh no! You stoped the video too early. You missed Marco's comment at the very end😂

Been part of the Nightwish army for years now and as superlative as Floor is, Tuomas is the mastermind behind many compositions and as a musician myself..the music Tuomas has written/contributed and will be played 100+ yrs from now is to be commended.....

SO,....let's meet two new guys on stage !!!!! First: Troy Donockley "The Bard" and the sixth member of the band (is an English composer and multi-instrumentalist most known for his playing of Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone). Troy is playing the Uilleann (ill-en or ill-yen) pipes. The Irish version of the bagpipes which uses a bellows squeezed by the elbow to inflate the bag. Uilleann is the Gaelic word for elbow. Second: The new and current drummer!!!! Kai Hahto is "The Human Metronome", or in my book Kai "The Machine Gun" Hahto ( is a Finnish musician and drummer from bands like, grindcore band Rotten Sound, Wintersun and Finnish black metal band Darkwoods My Betrothed). On 6 August 2014, it was announced that Hahto will be playing drums on the forthcoming Nightwish album, replacing Jukka Nevalainen, who went on hiatus from the band due to insomnia, and Hahto performed on all live shows since that date. On July 15, 2019, Hahto became Nightwish's permanent drummer following Nevalainen's decision not to return to the band. Song: The song is a longing to feel emotions as one did when they were young. As we get older, the intensity of those emotions can wane or disappear altogether. And was written for Nightwish's second singer Anette, but of course, Floor Crushed it !!!! Crowd: OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÁ... OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ; CADA DÍA TE QUIERO MÁS...OOOHHH!!! SOY DE NIGHTWISH; ES UN SENTIMIENTO, NO PUEDO PARAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÁ ... OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ; EVERY DAY I LOVE YOU MORE ... OOOHHH !!! I AM FROM NIGHTWISH; IT'S A FEELING, I CAN'T STOP! ) NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘

This is how we play music in Finland.😉 Thank you for a great reaction.

you should do 7 days to the wolfs live at wembley! great energie!

If you want to hear a song written specifically for Floor, check out How’s the Heart (acoustic). It is very stripped down and puts Floor’s vocals front and center.

🤘 Floor Jansen 🤘 🤘 Valkyrie Goddess 🤘 🤘 Love her voice 🤘

I don't need to add much, I see everyone has covered everything. You met Troy the sixth band member and English like more. This song is a crazy feel good song, the audience participation is fantastic🇬🇧By the way thanks for the great reaction.

Floor Jansen & The Red Limo String Quartet - Energize Me . Acoustic , No mic , no audio amplification , no audio tricks simply 100% PURE Floor-Power . this is from before the Nightwish period. this is a song from Floor's old band After Forever. link : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q-CHZM11ptqaaYU.html .

Love the energy in this performance! Very reminiscent of an Irish jig to my mind

Uilleen (ILL-AN) Pipes, basically Irish bagpipes...if u like this sound try My Walden at Wembley, The Last of the Wilds, Elvenpath / Elvenjig

This one gave you a little taste of Nightwish' Celtic folk/metal sound. Just a really fun feel good song. Once again yearning for the lost innocence of youth. Nailed it. It is very Irish inspired. Troy was playing the Irish bagpipe, uilleann pipe. Loved it G & B! Looking forward to some epic Dutch windmilling from your beautiful partner. Warning! It can be very sensually intoxicating and may make you quite dizzy.🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

Troy was also singing in the Chorus. Nice reaction, keep it up! Here for more Nightwish and TOOL. Try "The grudge" from TOOL.

This band has fun and really enjoys what they are doing. Uilleann pipes, pronounced, believe it or not, "ILL-EN" or sometimes "ILL-EE-EN". 😊🤘

UK Army popping in to get our tears back

🇫🇮❤I enjoyed your reaction/discussion to/of a song that encapsulates Tuomas wanting to relive his childhood with all the wonders & innocence. P.S. This was recorded on September 30th 2018 at Estadio Malvinas stadium in Buenos Aires, but released on their "Decades" DVD/Blu-Ray in 2019. Floor was also already getting sick, so sick that just four days later in Bogota she could hardly talk, but under medication still managed to do their entire show.

Marko is the name you’re looking for. His vocal chops are pretty close to Floor’s. The two of them together are magnificent. For more Marko, try Seven Days to the Wolves and High Hopes, which is Nightwish’s tribute to Pink Floyd. Marko knocks it out of the park.

That crowd was absolutely lit.

The partysong from nightwish 🎉🎉🎉

Always delivered and never boring.. Just be a fan🥳 .. There great and Floor is just Floor🤘 /// Greetings from Amsterdam✌

Floor's role as a front lady evolved from 2012/13 and up. The guys also needed a few month / concerts to adjust to her stage presence and charisma - and from their second world tour with Floor (Vehicle of Spirit -and songs written to her) in 2015 - Floor became a lot more " the Nightwish front" and she also literally steps away and out of the lights whenever some of the others are "on". And she also engages the others much more individually - her and Emppu have so much fun together - and her and Marko's duets are often almost like theater, two people having a conversation. And her engagement with the audience are much more direct, but that comes with the role as front person, but Floor is quite unique in that role. There is no doubt that Floor is the front person Tuomas and the guys had been searching for - she are able to tell the stories so convincing that the audience literally feels they are a part of the stories. It's never about her - the stories are always the alfa and omega in her presence - she becomes the stories and drags you in. Nightwish concerts are such a special experience - and that's something Floor has a big influence on.

More mystical vibes. Try Elfenjig/Elfenpath in Mexico City. Just a suggestion so don't be obliged.

F.y.i.: there's a new Drummer. Kai Hahto (from 'Wintersun') replaces Jukka Nevalainen (in the Wacken-2013 Show) because of a very bad insomnia he suffered from years. And this Show is one of the latest where Marko Hietala (2nd singer and Bassist) is a band member😪. He quit in 2020 because of personnel and private reasons (not of difficulties with the band!) He has been replaced by Jukka Koskinen (also 'Wintersun'). From There on the Sound of Nightwish has changed a Bit, means: a lot of their older songs can't be played without Marko. But time has changed... B.t.w. you should watch and react to 'Wintersun' "Sons of Winter and stars" and "Time" with Kai and Jukka! It's an adventure!

Oh, you missed Markos words at the end. Always play the videos right to the end.

Those were the Irish bagpipes.. It is the native Irish instrument. In the country, Irish Bagpipes are known as Uilleann bagpipes. ‘Uilleann’ literally means elbow in the Irish language. The Irish started to play the Bagpipes in the 20th century.

They all had the flue (She had some fever-medicine intus and you hear her voice is sick but she can sing as a pro)

Marco Hietala sings a really nice song solo during some Nightwish performances. The song is called The Islander. Check it out sometime.

This is another older song and in fact was performed at Wacken but fans prefer this one for the crowd interaction. Troy Donockley, the English multi instrumentalist,is playing the Uilleann pipes(elbow) from Ireland and singing backing on this one.

great reaction of a great performance! cheers

Perfection.

Hey guys!! Please don't forget the energy of the crowd. If you see the same song in another place is not the same. Argentinian crowd best in the world!! Good reaction. Greettings from Argentina

I've mentioned this before but the crowd is like being at a Boca Juniors vs River Plate football (soccer) match! PURE joy all around.

"It's a tango country."

How great are Nightwish 😝👍 They have many great songs including 3 Masterpieces! THE POET AND THE PENDULUM ! THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH ( epic song about Evolution and how We humans became to be on this planet) & Finely THE LAST RIDE OF THE DAY ! Nightwish Disciple From Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🏄‍♂️🍹

You will no doubt hear many of the 15 songs from the band's 2013 Wacken performance...so I must tell you...Wacken is pronounced VAW-KEHN... it's in Germany. And this song featured a 3-part harmony for the chorus, Floor, Marko (bass) and Troy (on the Irish bagpipes)

No one knew they needed a Guitar / bagpipe duo solo until this song, lol. The instrument is Irish Bagpipes, called Uilleann pipes. Troy plays tons of instruments as you will see. 😊 It's so fun. They did this at Wacken too (pr Vacken) but in that one Emppu unplugged Floors in-ear device on his way by to have fun. She gets him back by replacing his beer with apple juice, which he hates, lol.

Hello again Bars & Barbells. Yes. This is such a terrific performance and Floor teasing the crowd into a frenzy before it even started. So Marco is the bass player who has a terrific rock voice himself. Troy is the multi-instrumentalist who is playing the Uillean Pipes (Irish Elbow Pipes where he pumps the bellows under his right elbow and squeezes the bag under his left elbow to blow wind through the pipes' reeds to produce the bagpipe sounds). This was another really fun reaction to our beloved Nightwish from both of you. Thank you.

Again a very good reaction. Marko is a incredible singer in his own right. I would suggest you watch the Islander live from Tampere.

Irish vibes was well spotted - Uilleann pipes Troy plays are Irish version of bagpipes.

Good choice!

this Insturument is an elecktric backpipe it´s sound´s soo cool :)

Next stop. Mexico City. Nightwish - Alpenglow. A happy song.

Actually, in addition to Marco (on bass guitar) Troy (on pipes) is also singing.

Marco Hietala!!

Only tracks from Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human Nature were written for Floor.

Great reaction! New its time to react to”the greatest show on earth” live from Tampere, Finland. React until the very end of the video.Only one thing it’s a long song but I’m sure it will blow your mind.

The Irish “flavour” comes from the Celtic influence. The Celts were thought to have originated from Anatolia moved west into Iberia, then north into France, Britain, Ireland, into the Low Countries such as the Netherlands and Denmark and the Scandinavian countries. Also the Vikings had a lot of interaction with Ireland, hence culture influences spreading across nations

Good one. Good one. Like bag pipes but you pump it with your arm/elbow instead of blowing into it.

The instrument is called the ullieannn pipes.

Celtic, Nordic sound from Finland except singer from Sweden! I'm as interested about US culture as you from EU culture. Fascinating really.

That instrument is the uilleann pipes. Irish folk instrument.

uilleann pipes - Irish instrument. Troy who plays them and many other things has been made permanent member along with Floor in 2012. and btw can't wait to see your faces when you finally decide to do Greatest Show on earth' or 'Poet and the Pendulum'. and this is Irish folk music, not Viking

think about: Floor being 6-5 to 6-6 in those heels, dancing and bouncing around the stage

Floor could sing a phone book and it would he amazing 😍

Troy’s instrument is pump bagpipe I

Hey you beautiful humans...how about a listen to my favorite band of symphonic metal....you will absolutely love these guys n gal....their catalog is endless....here's a few hooks in the water that await your feeding...😊...faster, dangerous, and we run, mad world, trophy hunter, shot in the dark, don't pray for me, titanium, shed my skin.......ok ok....give them a listen or two..

Please react to Nightwish - "Phantom Of The Opera" - the older live version with their original singer - Tarja. All your Nightwish reactions have been with Floor and you should hear Tarja for comparison. :)

Buenos Aires 2018 where Floor breathed new life in to a number of Nightwish classics that pre-date her time with the band. This show also pre-dates my discovering Nightwish and Floor. "I don't need to tell you anything you know just what to do" God bless you Floor. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft fronted by the best vocalist that I have ever heard or seen. Thank you for a wonderful reaction. Paul 🙏😊👍❤️

Floor rules the crowd.

🥰🥰🥰

If you want to hear a lot softer Marko, try While Your Lips Are Still Red!

Floor looks like a Superhero or a Warrior Goddess. You just can't take your eyes off her. - By the way, as mentioned earlier, you stopped the video just before Marko's end joke. You tend to do that. Please watch the videos to the end.

Troy Donoclley plays uilleann pipes ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes )

It was an Anette Olzon song.

Not that you missed anything important, but you really should let are Nightwish videos play until they are actually over.

Wacken is pronounced "Va ken", which is less naughty sounding. Its in Germany so V and W sounds are reversed from American English. On a more important note, its so impressive how Floor can sing so well on this one while dancing vigorously around the stage. She loves crowd energy and in many interviews states preference for big energetic crowds.

Songs written for Floor ;) let's start.... everything! Haha no. From the last two albums a must reaction has to be "How's the Heart" acoustic from Planet Rock! Unbelievable voice / "Shoemaker" Hellfest 2022 live or official lyrics video / "Yours is an empty hope" live from Wembley (be careful *lol*) / "Alpenglow" (official live) / and of course the two left trinity songs "Greatest Show on Earth" live from Tampere and "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley (The holy grail (!) of all NW songs).

Do You know Pink Floyd ? Maybe give Marco a shot with the "High Hopes" cover of Floyds ;) its and old recording from 2005 End of an Era concert

This is Argentina consert

AND PLEASE. Next to NW there are other unbelievable Symphonic Metal Bands you really have to check out. Start with EPICA. NW and Epica are the best experience you can ever make. Trust me. For a ballad Epica feat. Apocalyptica "Rivers" live / for a "normal" one - "Beyond the Matrix" live from Zenith. You will be blown away. Promised.

Uilleann Pipes (Irish bagpipe) I think...

if you liked this one, maybe you want to try Nightwish - Harvest

10:41. Guns 😲

Wishmaster! You gotta hear Wishmaster
