Emppu always plays exactly what the song needs No more no less ❤️👍

He was clearly enjoying and appreciating the music. So nice to see you introduce people to Nightwish, they deserve to be better known in the US, they are all awesome musicians and all about the music.🤘🏽🖤

Watching Nightwish doing High Hopes ALWAYS leaves me speechless. It’s so good!!

That is exactly the essence of Nightwish, no ego’s but everything serves the music.

Emppu is the unsung hero of Nightwish. One of my fav guitarists of all time

He pointed at one thing about what makes Emppu great. He gives the songs what they need, not what his ego needs. I have never heard a guitarist with that level of musical understanding before.

The guitarist of one of my favourite 80's/90's bands praising the guitarist of my current favourite band. Great way to start a Sunday I say.

It's "fan"tastic that you have so enthusiastically included others from your world/career to the World of Nightwish...It's fun to share something newly discovered! 👊

Emppu's guitar sounds amazing!!!

Holy crap! A great reaction to a band I love from a guy I grew up listening to. Please let Dave and the rest of the band know that they gave this random interneter and his friends countless hours of joy and have been a part of the soundtrack to all our lives. I knew he'd appreciate Emppu.

Snake's reaction was SPOT ON.

Snake seems to be a great guy. Love his smile throughout.

I just love how every NW song you ( Joel) has this " first time" enthusiasm. 👏👏🤘🤘

Imagine starting your morning with this.. high hopes for the day 😊 Thanks again Mr 🙏

Appreciating the music is what it's all about. Emppu rules!

What an excellent and refreshing rendition.

Three of my favorite songs of all time are nightwish songs

Good news is, he can see them live because they both are performing at Tons of Rock next summer. Skid row will be performing at wednesday ja Nightwish thursday 😁 Great reaction! And love your style, Joel 🤩 Greetings from Finland 😊

So cool to see others lovin' Nightwish!

One of the best "covers" slash "tributes" of High Hopes I've ever heard. Been on my playlist for a number of years. BTW, Snake, one of my best concert experiences was Pantera and Skid Row December 29, 1991 at the Fox in Atlanta, GA. I still have a scar on my chin from that one, lol. \m/ \m/ Still blasting those Skid Row and Slave to the Grind albums

As Snake did 100% get along , what Emppu did on the Guitar, it really waters my Eyes an bit, bcs in an Band with Tuomas as Composer on Keys, Tarja/Floor(Anette) at Main Vocals and at that Time Marko on Bass, plus an Jukka celebrating Drums and till today, i think of Emppu absolute underrated. He always serves the Song, and even if he Solo something like in Romanticide you can read on His Face that He does it for the Crowd and his Bandbuddies, not to show off in any Way. In our Society the Loudest and most Cocky gets the Princess, he is the Counterpart loving his Gang and when it Harmonizes. Great Human, great Guitariero. end of Sway, Stay healthy NW Army Bavaria North

it's enthousiastic to watch you react with so much enthousiasm ;-)

This was the one that got me back into Nightwish. Heard it many times and still gives me chills!! Thanks for doing this.

Joel, I didn't even know that Skid Row was coming to Australia. Sadly, they have only one gig here ... and it is in Sydney on Friday May 19. I will be in Indonesia that week, so I can't make the show. However, if there any Sydney fans watching this, get out and show them some love. And the tickets are so affordable, making them accessible for most people. Under AUD$90.00 (about USD$55-60) amazing value. Man, Snake is such an engaging and humble person. I already thought your roadie/engineer concepts were brilliant viewing, but I think this one, where a band member is with you, is really taking it to another level. Joel, you have some of the best music content on KZfaq. Keep the good stuff coming

I bought Skid Row's first album on vinyl many years ago - good stuff. Rattlesnake Shake is my fave. Good to see Snake react to Nightwish. I couldn't have imagined watching this kind of video when I first listened to Skid Row some 30+ years ago. Thanks Joel and Snake.

Gotta love Dave just a good dude all around. See you guys in Tampa at the end of the month. May get to see Skid Row and Nightwish in Norway in June …fingers crossed 🤞 Hope the neck is all good now brother ✌️

That was great, really enjoyed seeing Dave enjoying Nightwish's take on High Hopes - enjoying the new Skid Row album as well by the way 🤘

god i was a kid when i got into Skid Row back in my GNR days. Thank you love your guest you know a lot of talented people so great seeing new guests. Love this song the original was slow but trippy but this versions a bit more meaty or ballsay.

Very cool to see Dave just vibing along with the song. Musician appreciating good music

Very cool for Snake to join you. Great player. You guys kick ass my friend! Loved the reaction to this amazing band. Don't take the hassle serious Joel. Some people get their panties in a bunch. A cover might be more of an imitation of a song. Nightwish sometimes does songs from some of their favorite bands as a way to give the female singer a chance for a short break and outfit change. Marko loves Sabbath and does several of their songs in his solo shows from time to time. He is also a big fan of Dio. Citing him as a major inspiration vocally.

Thank You Thank You Thank You Mr. Joel for Introducing Nightwish To Skid Row's Member ...And Others New Listeners of NW 💥💖💖💖 I'm Screaming Right Know b'cos I Loveeee Skid Row!!! And You Introduce NW to One Of The Member !!! Thank You Soooooo Much !!!!💥🙏💖

i love these videos, you got a great channel with massive potential!

God love him we miss Marko

Greatness!

Sabo is a legend. 👍🤟

David Gilmour did coment on this years ago , paraphrasing - great . Good review of a great ..tribute

Thanks Joel, another amazing reaction, bye

Found them over 3 years ago while in the hospital with complications I cannot go into however in my eyes they saved my life!! 🤘🌹

I never get tired of this tribute.

🤘❤️

Great Reaction Snake

Cool! I saw Skid Row supporting Guns n Roses at Wembley Stadium in 1991, what a day that was!! Great reaction fellas 🤟🤟

Kiitosssssssssss....mannnnn~~~~

I don't recall Skid Row's covers album, but it came out in 1992, and has The Ramones, Kiss, Judas Priest, Rush, and Hendrix on it. I haven't listened to it yet, but I guarantee it's killer. For anyone who doesn't know (which is a lot more than I would have guessed based on yesterday's comments) Skid Row is a killer late 80s rock band. In a rock world full of makeup and nail polish, they were grimier than GNR, and helped carry the torch through some dark times.

Wow....watching a member of a band that I was totally obsessed with back in my teens, reacting to a band that I am obsessed with now in my mid 40's has made me smile so hard that I think I've pulled a muscle haha!! Thanks so much for this 😁 Much love all the way from New Zealand 🤘

Joel is a true crime-fighting superhero, who is one reaction at a time fighting to correct how criminally unknown Nightwish is in the US

This is their tribute to Pink Floyd's music.

Along with The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) High Hopes at End of an Era is my favourite from Nightwish. A very special band

Guitar solo is awesome

Yep, Snake summed up Emppu - he plays exactly what is needed. And Marko's vocals are superb. As a 45+ year PF fan I can say Nightwish now own this (though I do still listen to the original). Of course this is a very old concert, 2005 and Marco has left now😢😢

Can you imagine Marko was not feeling well and Jukka had a massive headache . Thru professionals 8

Snake - the man! Baz still owes me a beer! (bet he owes you more!) Loved the Kiss tribute! Please, do Cold Gin too!? Love this version of High Hopes. The guys in Nightwish always kick ass even without a female vocalist! Yeah, Emppu is always tasteful - playing what truly fits the song!

🤩👍💥💯🎼 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

Joel, if you get a chance to talk to Snake again, ask him if he was still in John Bongiovi's band the night they played "Runaway" as part of a radio station's Big Apple album showcase at Club Bene back in '83. I was there.

It was clearly a good selection for your guest. But I do wonder: there is still so much out there that you have yet to see...

Introduce your friend to Hanabie "We Love Sweets".

MARKO CAN SANG and I Love is Beard

I really enjoy your reactions, and that you bring others in as well. I took a quick look in your 'videos' and boy, have you been busy! May I suggest a few other amazing bands you may want to take a listen to? If you haven't heard of some of these, maybe I can introduce you to another new band or two. The Hu A Mongolian metal band that fuses old school instruments and songs with new instruments and melodies and then they throw in throat singing as well. AMAZING! Wolf Totem. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLNol6Z4rtOaqZc.html Bonus suggestion: The video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order asked them to make a song for them. They wrote Black Thunder which they then collaborated with the game creators and made a new language that worked for both of them. Sugaan Essena kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbCKmaiZmKvHmYk.html Powerwolf My Will Be Done kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z65dms2nmrvTfqc.html&ab_channel=NapalmRecords Falling in Reverse is interesting because Ronnie Radke has actually reworked his own songs into something new and amazing!

You really have to check out Moriah Formica's acoustic version of I Remember You!!

It was said Jukka (drummer) was suffering from a migraine this night. Think of it.... a metal drummer with a freakin' migraine and he soldiers on. Amazing.

If you want an awesome cover song try PowerWolf's Out In the Fields.

Hey Snake - if you haven't heard Tommy Johansson's version of "18 and Life", here it is (fasten your seat belt): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9Cmgs6gprfVqoE.html

Hey, you should let this guy check out a couple of Nightwish live shows with the Goddess of metal Floor Jansen ✨️ awesome 👌

Both Marko and Jukka was sick during this show

Now why would someone react to a cover song done by one of the most popular bands on earth that have a huge selection of their own songs, The two covers NW have done are not even on any of their studio albums. Play the original ?
