Well you will never believe this but this video is partially blocked. Thank you so much Youtube.

Oh, the memories! Oh, the chills! Oh, Tarja! Can't help it, she is my weakness. That guitar, damn Emppu! I do miss more of that in their new stuff.
Good to have you back here, too. Fingers crossed for no more "issues" with YouTube.

Angels fall first is Nightwish's first album. In fact, it is a demo that was released as an album. Marco was not yet part of the band. He only joined the group in the fourth album (Century Child). The man singing with Tarja is Tuomas.

[mattimelanen]

Oh, the memories. Great to have you back 😁👍

[RitaFMachado]

All the female vocals are Tarja's, all the male vocals on the album are by...tchananan....Tuomas himself! This album is from 1996 and Marco got in the band in 2001. This album and this song in particular have a really great vibe of old Amorphis, anothet finnish band ( notably from two albums: Tales from the Thousand Lakes and Elegy).

I don't understand the hate either. I feel that all of the singers did a great job and each brought something different to Nightwish. If you look at their work as you would 'The Rose', with Bette Middler and Janis Joplin, both are completely different and both are beautiful. I have several different versions of Nightwish songs in my playlist, and I enjoy them all equally. You can just listen to whichever one makes you happiest and the problem is solved.

Grand Master Olly🙏So Great to see you a long

Marko joined during Century Child recordings.
Troy guest appeared on the Dark Passion play album.

Good to see you back! Good to see some classic Nightwish too. Fans that don't like the new sound can just go listen to the old albums or any of the other bands that have taken up the style that Nightwish no longer produces. What a simple solution! Here's to many more videos without copyright strikes...woohoo! Cheers!

Times when guitar by Emppu is clear and bright...and in a big role. I like this era because of that but naturally new songs are great. No Marco at this time yet. NW was Tuomas, Emppu, Tarja (the founding members) and Jukka. Emppu did bass and a guest bassist at concerts. Tuomas is singing the male voice truly. Troy, Anette and Floor did know nothing about this band at this time yet. Marco and Kai did though. Yes..they have been and are amazing for sure.

I like the other version of Astral romance more. In like 2001 Tarja and Nightwish did another version with another male singer and it had some different lyrics and a reworked guitar solo check that one out too.

[Rock.metal.letras]

Tarja siempre hizo sus propios coros. Es asombrosa!!

[danielberger]

Male vocals are from Tuomas.
And Emppu was a busy man back then, as he played ALL the guitar parts including the bass.

Glad to see you back on this channel, Olly! Keep rocking.

The album "Angels Fall First" was released in November 1997. This song is from that album.
But before that there was already an album released in the spring (7 songs, same title) and this song was already on that album. Only 500 editions of this album were taken and it is a collectible rarity today !!!
The album featured Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards, piano and vocals, Jukka Nevalainen - drums and percussion, Tarja Turunen - vocals, Emppu Vuorinen - electric guitar, acoustic guitar and bass.

[Математиканапять]

I love this song. Been on my playlist for a long time. Also a Nightwish classic

[Annikam]

YT sucks some times. glad to see you back. you were missed. the male vocals is Tuomas himself.

[skeezesmith]

Welcome back! You made me laugh when you said, “Long story short” three times. 😂🤣😂

[normanmapson]

Comparing Jukka with Kai is like trying to compare Jon Bonham with Ian Paice - all superb drummers, different strengths and style! :-)
There's a
'remake' of Astral Romance on Nightwish's 'Over the Hills and Far Away EP, ' with Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica on male vocals.
Thank you for the reaction, I enjoy all eras of Nightwish, each singer / musician brings their own 'colour' / 'flavour' to the songs :-)

[eevee]

i really love this song. and i actually don't mind Toumas' singing, i really like it.

[lisap]

Glad you're out of YouTube jail Olly....and I guessed correctly with the Nightwish selection, lol! 😁 Not a fan of the male vocals here, but Tarja sounded awesome!
