Simone and Floor rented a flat/house together and have known each other for a long time, they are good friends.
I am not sure, if that’s a myth. There doesn’t seem to be an evidence for both sharing the accodomation. I’ve seen/read videos/interviews of both stating a friendship, but never that they lived or studied together. On the other hand: I haven’t read/watched everything…
We need more Floor and Simone☺️🙏🏼
they also did stabat mater dolorosa together in that show. in that song you will see how to make a metal crowd stay completely quiet. Floor and Simone together is a happiness overkill
Stabat Mater Dolorosa next! It's a 13th century Christian hymn they break out in the middle of this metal concert... and it's amazing! The song is about Mary's pain watching her son, Jesus, go through the crucifixion and these two goddesses do a superb job keeping this song alive in the 21st century!
I concur.
THIS!!!!
I concur
I concur
For its small size, Holland just knows how to churn out amazing female metal singers. Beautiful people 💥💥💥
Fun fact in this concert Simone was in her third month of pregnancy and it's for the tenth anniversary of the band epica that was 11 years ago and at that time floor wasn't officially the night wish singer yet
This song is about a suïcide bomber, who thinks that he is in heaven, but he is actuelly in hell, but he likes it so much there, that he refuse to go to heaven. Stabat Mater Dolorosa from the same concert Floor and Simone
EPICA! One of my favourite band!!!
Simone + Floor = POWER COMBO !!!!
Nuff Said !!!!
NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘
@Stacy: Mark Jansen, the founder of Epica was also the founder of After Forever, Floor's first band. So here IS the connection. So I will recommend a double feature for you 🤪. 1st After Forever "Follow in the Cry" Pinkpop live 2004. Young unbelievable Floor!!! And 2nd - EPICA (Sahara Dust) "Follow in the Cry" 20th anniversary 2022 live. Yes! Same song! Because of Mark BOTH bands made it. You will love it. Promised.
Another duet (Dutch of course!) to enjoy is 'Somewhere' by Within Temptation ft. Anneke van Giersbergen
Anneke has a few collaborations that can be recommended
Simone has just released a solo single (Aeternal) from her forthcoming debut solo album. It was written by none other than Arjen, (from Ayreon). You're probably aware as well that Arjen recently released a live version of The Day That The World Breaks Down.
Arjen wrote it ? That's an instant buy. I like Simone's voice but never got into Epica.
Stacy, from the same venue they sing a ancient hymne from 1726. Stabat mater dolorosa it is called. Special point from this hymne; the composer died 6 weeks after finishing the song. You do not believe your ears. And even more unbelievable is the fact how to silence a metal fan crowd who is complete in awe. Mind blowing. See you soon we hope.
This performance was at Epica's 10th anniversary celebration concert. The name of the concert is Retrospect. It's a great show from start to finish. Floor and Simone sang 2 songs together. This one and Stabat Mater Doloroso (maybe bad spelling for Doloroso). If you ever decide you want to do an entire concert in 1 reaction video Retrospect is one you should take into consideration.
And, later this year, they are doing it again! Looking forward to it, as I have a ticket to one of the Amsterdam shows 🤘
Simone and Floor = magic.
Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪
I was waiting eagerly for you to see this video after seeing your Nightwish and Epica reactions. Really happy to see someone else realize just how versetile metal music is. It really can blend aspects of other genres in a way that I don't think other genres are able to.
Retrospect was a 3 hour show featuring a wide range of music from soft ballads, classical and metal. There is even another duet between Floor & Simone singing a 13th century Latin hymn.
Here are some of the highlights…
Unleashed (start here, symphonic metal at it’s best)- ruclips.net/video/rxd6sxLxdys/видео.html
Chasing the Dragon (with sub-titles) (power ballad) - ruclips.net/video/xvc_WXbVjAw/видео.html
Presto (classical instrumental duet between solo violinist and Epica’s lead guitarist) - ruclips.net/video/kDsUjbOX3xg/видео.html
Stabat Mater Dolorosa (13th century latin hymn, duet between lead singer Simone and Floor Jansen) - ruclips.net/video/nhtOORYTGx8/видео.html
Delirium (soft ballad) - ruclips.net/video/FAYPDf3Zk14/видео.html
The Divine Conspiracy (great collaboration with the orchestra)- ruclips.net/video/a0TvrtinRWU/видео.html
Design Your Universe (closing number, spectacular) - ruclips.net/video/9nlPx-HEpCU/видео.html
Two wonderful singers!
What I like about this, is as you mentioned the orchestra and choir, adding an extra layer to the music and concert experience. Something about an orchestra being incorporated into a rock / metal concert, adding an extra layer into the music.
Hey Stace you need to watch "stabat mater dolorosa" from that same concert. Very different but beautiful ❤
Epica & Apocalyptica...... Rivers..... live version, is a beautiful moment!
Think you'll love it!
❤
Hands down one of my favorite bands. Epica has such and rich and incredible music catalog.
What's even more impressive in that particular show is that Simome was pregnant, and yet, delivered heavenly vocals for about 3 hours
I got to see Epica in 2014, at a tiny local venue. Standing in the middle of the crowd, and only 10 feet from the band.
its the Epica Retrospect concert for their 10 years anniversary ( 3 hours of show with a live orchestra ) you should do some reactions to it Stacey 😁
Very good performance from both.
Hey Stacey , your channel =top! ; please try some more Epica & Floor with “ Stabat Mater Dolorosa” , i think you will be blown away 😊
Floor and Simone is so Great Singer ! Together is so Beautiful Voice for Metal Music ! That is Absolutly Epic
Finally more Epica Stacey! Thank you!😊 This show, the Retrospect was almost 3 hours long to celebrate 10th years anniversary of Epica extended with Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra and the Choir of National Theatre from Miskolc, Hungary. The full show was awesome, its must to watch the full concert. Fun fact, Simone was 3 months pregnant😉
Simone and Floor is very close friends as you seen in their chemistry. They did Stabat Mater Dolorosa in the same concert if you want to watch more from this angelic duo. But my suggestion with another unique voice ( feat Simone😅) is The Haunting from Kamelot live in Norway 2006. They have many connection to some musicians whos you know. The vocalist Roy Khan changed to Tommy Karevik who was the opposite leader in the Ayreon song The day that the world breaks down and at the keyboard is Oliver Palotai who is Simone's husband.
Such a nice rocking banger song! Next to Epica there are more lovely Dutch female singer gothic metalbands: Blackbriar, Delain, Within Temptation, The Gathering. Greetings from the Netherlands!
you need to listen to the second song they sang togather "stabat matter"
Pure talent !
A suggestion for Floor and simone singing together: Sweet Curse ruclips.net/video/xmYzLIB6OjU/видео.html
This is a song from Floor's band Revamp with Simone as guest singer on the concert shown. It is not a HQ recording but sill good enough to enjoy. It is from the period around 2010 when Simone and Floor were probably closest to each other. Around that time, Revamp and Epica were touring together. I will also post some more links in the reply because if I post too many links in one post, it will be considered as spam by RUclips.
Here is a video of Floor and Simone folling around and rehearsing "Sweet Curse" at Simone's home. ruclips.net/video/LjvXo5GRvxI/видео.html

Flooring doing a video interview with Simone during COVID lockdown: ruclips.net/video/yK0PtS9Rprk/видео.html
I have seen this before, but I watched it again. Wow ... just wow.
It ends with Floor saying Revamp was playing the next night, and those who were going were lucky bastards.
She was also saying Revamp and Epica had toured together....
Floor and Simone are great friends and shared a flat back in the day
Hello Stacey and cats! G'day from Oz again! Great job! The drummer here is Arien van Weesenbeek. He has been hitting things since he was 3yo according to his parents - lucky for their furniture he found his dad's drum-kit pretty quickly! Simone Simons has been, still is(?), a cosmetics model and is a good friend of Floor and Mark Jansen (Epica's male singer, no blood relation - he was in Floor's earlier band - he's in the spotlight at the end). Another vote for "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" from the same gig. More Epica epic epicness, please!? edit: Floor and Simone = Xena and Gabrielle but better!
Nightwish Arm< South Germany Division here
The Goddess of Valkyries and the Queen of Epica together on the Stage - THIS is Epic pure !
I think you would love The Skeleton Key Omega Alive version
That Epica show (Retrospect 2013) was amazing, definitely keep digging on it
There's another song (more like a classical piece) with Floor, which happened earlier in the 3 hour setlist and much more great songs from Epica
This band is really amazing and you'll probably love everything you hear from them
As for Ayreon, they have done the album The Source together (which has the song you listened to it), they have some songs they sing back and forth. No live version though, just the studio.
Ahhh 😍...Floor
Here you got two queen’s , one from Epica land , and one from Nightwish land . Mind blowing 🥸💖👍👍
The are BOTH from The Notherlands !
Simone and Floor ❣
are sisters in crime 🔥❤🔥
Never go wrong with these two 💜
Btw Simone just dropped new solo track from her new album ❤
Definitely yes ❣
hello stacey 😊 its such a beautiful music 🤘
Thanks, Stacey. Glad you feel the same as we do. ❤
Pure magic!
The Dutch invasion!
When, where. I have to flee😂😂
Those damn Dutchies, they have gekoloniseerd everything!😁
If I was a vocal student, I think I would just throw in the towel and quit after this. These 2 ladies are cheat codes. Wow!
I am grateful to many good symphonic metal bands… Some are questionable in the metal true genre, but such as the likes of visions of Atlantis, within temptation, Delain, leaves’ Eyes, Therion, Nightwish etc. that were my gateway eventually up to the awesome greatness of Epica and Dimmu Borgir. By the way Stacy you’ll never see Nightwish performing live at the orchestra which Epica embraces it and has done it several times and have massive shows coming up this Fall in Amsterdam and Mexico with orchestra and choirs. Indeed I Highly encourage you to deep dive on Epica if you like your music heavier and on a grander scale you will be very pleased. Symphonic METAL done properly 🤘🏻
Floor and Simone two phenomenal voices! i love them ! you should see Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016 is just a masterpiece.
Stabat mater Dolorosa is another song from same concert, that got both qieens in it!! else Simone and Floor also got songs where both sing in a lot of Ayroen songs, my favorite there might be the Dream disolves from the Album The Source by Ayroen, a highly underrated, and almost never reacted to song, i think you should, i think there is no live version, so that would have to be a studio version, but its a song really underrated, and overlooked imo..
I remember when I met the band at a meet and greet, the guitarist, when I told him I was Italian, told me: "AH!! MAFIOSO". We all started laughing!
😁😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣
Could have been Mark, who now lives with his Laura in Sicily.
You just hit the lottery.
I love this band ! I saw in Paris a long time ago and you can find the final song on YT: "consign to Oblivion live at Zenith" ;). From the same live ("retrospect live" for the 10th anniversary of the band), you can find some "pépites" like "design your universe", "chasing the dragon", ... Playing with an orchestra behind, what a trip !!!!
Floor and Simone are good friends ;).
Here another one you have to see: "Epica-ThePhantom Agony" (ruclips.net/video/UAlRf9qf9d0/видео.html). Simone at 19yo and captation during recording the album.
a masterpiece!
Simone and Floor are very close friends
nice react
It would be cool if you reacted to Epica's song river, it's a really cool song, there are several versions, I suggest the one played with the band apocaliptica
There are many other symphonic metal bands out there. Some of my favorites are Within Temptation and Delain. Both are from The Netherlands like Epica. For Within Temptation's I recommend starting with their "Paradise" music video, a duet between Sharon Den Adele (their lead singer) and Tarja, the original Nightwish lead singer. For Delain, I recommend starting with their music video for "We Are the Others".
Another band you may be interested in is Feuerschwanz. Warriors Of The World United is a great song with a bunch of vocalists.
I can only recommend checking out Epicas "Sirens - of blood and water" which is featuring Charlotte Sessels from Delain and Myrkur. It could be a better title for a song those 3 perform together.
Floor and Simone are 2/3 of the world breaking trio with Anneke Van Giersbergen. They can never perform together because the world will truly break down if it happens.🤘🎸
Mark Jansen (Guitar player, he is on the right of Floor) and Joost Van Den Broek (Music Producer of bands: Epica, Ayreon, Powerwolf and Blind Guardian) were former members of Floor's first band "AFTER FOREVER". So, can you imagine the quality of that band? After Forever? With Floor?
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job again
Hi Stacey 2 Goddess sing together absolutely beautiful and amazing not from the Earth 🌍 😅
Not sure if you know or not, but Bruce Dickinson released a new solo album in March (his first since 2005). I know you've been loving Maiden so if you're looking to get a fix, I recommend checking it out.
As for Epica? Love em. Symphonic metal is solid. In addition to them and Nightwish, there's also Ad Infinitum, Delain, Kamelot, Evergrey, Unleash the Archers among countless others.
Woot yeesss!!!! Your sister would definitely love this too
Add BEAUTIFUL to description❤
I really enjoy your reactions hope you keep doing cheers and love from NIGHTWISH ARMY COSTA RICA DIVISIÓN 🇨🇷💀🤘
I loved this when I saw this to. ❤❤❤❤
This is also interesting, even though the visual quality sucks, but you have the same song with all the 3 dutch symphonic goddesses here :
Simone Simons and After Forever - Beyond me
ruclips.net/video/H54omqI4_5k/видео.html
After forever " Beyond Me" with Sharon Den Adel ( Within Temptation)
ruclips.net/video/KtAMqhlNAlk/видео.html
What's actually impressive is that Simone had been singing for around 2.5 hours before this song started and was pregnant at the time.
Also, Simone and Floor are best friends. It was Simone that pulled Floor into rock vocals and the world has been a better place ever since.
Whilst Flooor & Simone are inded good friends it was Anneke van Giersbergen who influenced Floor - Simone wasn't even in a band when Floor joined After Forever when she was 16 !
Queen can be only one! Only if the present dies, the next can replace her as a queen. 🤔 Simone is gorgeous and great singer, but there's only one queen - Floor I. Mighty Queen of the mighty power/symphonic metal kingdom. 🤘
New sub here. I would recommend looking into Therion, a swedish Symphonic metal band who are considered pioneers of the symhonic metal genre. Depending on the time period/album the singers may be different as they only have a core of 5 of so members then work with other people where needed, i.e. live or studio.
Songs I recommend would be:
The Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah: ruclips.net/video/eSEgFIcdTWI/видео.html
Birth of Venus Illegitima (OFFICIAL LIVE): ruclips.net/video/4aU3r_54_34/видео.html
Therion - The Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah (Live) (Wacken Open Air 2007): ruclips.net/video/QRInn1BztrE/видео.html
Then:
Summernight City (ABBA cover): ruclips.net/video/wNNdarr_RpA/видео.html
Good singers
Metal history Lesson, back in 2000s the Symphonic metal was in its infancy with bands like Lacrimosa, After forever, and Tristania. but before them; HAGGARD set a standard that must be revised in this modern era. I invite you to check some of their tracks. they are a German Medieval ensemble mixed with death metal that paints beautiful medieval landscapes through their thematic albums. Nightwish and EPICA stand on the foundations that HAGGARD uncovered.
you really need to listen to unleashed live retrospect, it will give you goosebumps
Great reaction Stacey! Happy to hear you're bringing symphonic metal back into the rotation. I love the classic rock, but...
Glad you continue your EPICA journey 😊😊
I love both bands, with a slight preference for EPICA. They are so complex and innovative in their sound and lyrics.The preference for EPICA is because they can be way heavier at times then Nightwish.
Stacy this was Awesome
You have to check more Ayreon ! Because Simone and Floor are also appear in several songs! (You Wish you were Dutch :)
So nice!
These two women on stage give one hell of a performance! Have you seen Pink Floyd's "One Of These Days(I'm going to cut you into little pieces)" from the Pulse concert? You will see the famous inflated pigs flying about. Not quite orchestral metal, but close... and what a Bass line... Wow!
Hey Stacey, if you ever feel like giving us some more Led Zeppelin, then try "When The Levee Breaks" from John Paul Jones (playing for change)... ruclips.net/video/LH0-WXUFY2k/видео.html. Thanks!
Maybe explore the band Kamelot. It's also symphonic metal. With a male lead singer. The current lead singer is awesome, and the previous singer as well.
Sirenia is an awesome band as well. A little bit more metal, but symphonic still
Hell yea, more Simone and/or Floor makes me happy
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
In this (very old) 2.5 minute video, ruclips.net/video/LjvXo5GRvxI/видео.html you can see why Floor and Simone like each other so much. They go back a long way. Video was taken in Simone her apartment. And in this 3.5 minute video you can see the result of the practice session. ruclips.net/video/1u6Uf4fwRJw/видео.html
Finally. :)
🐕my 2 fav female singers
Told you floor was a goddess ❤
What a voice
I like to watch this just before I enter my gym - for some reason it seems to send my testosterone levels sky high 🤔💪🇬🇧
You, my friend, are an excellent reactor: you don't pause too much, you have great taste (and are open minded enough to discover new stuff), and you FEEL music above and beyond simply listening to it and enjoying it. You need to discover a Canadian musical genius by the name of Devin Townsend, he will make your pulse race and your heart soar in a similar way to Nightwish, Epica, Floyd etc. Check him out.
Stacy - If you like Heart, Pat Benatar - Promises in the Dark!!!!
👍
I recommend you react to Love Bites- Empty Daydream (live from Tokyo 2019)
Have you checked out Within Temptation yet? If you like beautiful female voices you'll love Sharon den Adel's voice, it's angelic.
Okay here is a question, other than Floor singing with Nightwish did Simone also?
Can you react to the music video creeping in my soul by cryoshell
@On.Te-legrem-StaceyRPG1 I don't know what that means
🤘🤘
Xena and Gabriella
Simone and Floor are really like sisters..or lovers. There are some body language that is very hard to fake. Awesome persons both they are.
Did you know Floor jansen who I consider my spirit animal and my Goddes has one pointy ear like an elf.
👍👍😎😎🤘🤘
have you ever thought of trying to listen to heavier metal music. like death metal/black metal/death core and their sub genres? ...i think usually people kinda have to "grow with" those music to like them. some of them even have clean vocals
When else can you see Poison Ivy and Cat Woman singing together? 🤘
