Stephen of the band Phantom Music Box reacts to new music from bands he loves and suggestions from his fans. Old School VS New School™ has been moved to this channel.
Just about every single one of their songs are excellent. If you get addicted to them you will find other favourites. The only darn thing is that everytime I hear a song I’m thinking oh yes this is my favourite, until I hear the next song. They have some heavier numbers and some softer numbers but one thing Nightwish music has in common is that you will recognise them as Nightwish as soon as you hear them.
Warm welcome to Nightwish rabbit hole, on a big trip to the sea of great emotions and musical surprises of good music. This song is one of their biggest songs. However, I haven't heard a single bad song from them and they have a long and colorful history as a band. Greetings from Finland🇫🇮, Nightwish homeland.🎉 enjoy!
Hello Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make Symphonic Metal. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion. Watch out for the Nightwish Army. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
You will probably be contacted by Gabriel (he is in Rumania) with information about Nightwish (formed in 1996 and they are Finnish). Gabriel also has a list of the best quality videos. I only found them about a year ago as the North American music industry can't handle them. This lead singer is Floor Jansen, third lead singer, and she is Dutch, with close to a four octave range. Opera to death growls. The studio albums (9 with the 10th one this 20 Sept) are exceptional but they are better live.

Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish Symphonic Metal. The rabbit hole is deep and varied. No two songs are the same and all are great! Enjoy the ride!🤘🎸
Yes it is! I mentioned that in the description. I’m moving all my old reactions to this channel and starting the reaction videos back up. New ones coming soon!
Welcome to the rabbit hole. You're in for a wild ride. Not just Nightwish but all the tangents involving all of the members doing different projects. Sounds like you need Romanticide next.
The connection between rock and classical music has been around for a long time. To quote mastermind Tuomas: "Symphonic metal existed before us, but we took it to a new level." This enabled Nightwish to establish symphonic as an independent subgenre. Savatage was more of a progressive / power metal band. To make film music as a metal band, you have to make the film yourself, like Nightwish did ;-) This concert is from the Imaginaerum tour. Imaginaerum is a concept album and film music for the Nightwish film of the same name. This song is older, however. Tuomas says about the recordings of the current album that he planned a whole day for each song, because his songs are complicated and offer little opportunity to breathe. Floor only knew his demos. She needed half the time. Floor is a vocal nerd who can sing anything. Bands like Nightwish have a hard time in the USA. They sound very European and the program directors prefer to play the familiar American sound. The listeners also want to hear that because they grew up with this music. And many European metal bands are not on the US Mayor labels. The Mayors do not support bands like Nightwish because they are on the competing labels. But they have already toured the USA. If you want to find them, you can find them. Unfortunately not before 2027 or longer, they are currently taking a break, although a new album is coming out next month. Nightwish is a mixture of pop, folk, film and metal. Their role models come from Europe. The sound here is typical, but there is more. Mastermind Tuomas also composes different things every now and then so that not everything sounds the same. You have to be prepared for surprises. Ghost Love Score is from 2005 and for a long time it was only available as an encore at concerts. Shortly after Floor joined the band in 2012, she changed the ending and it became her signature song. It is now part of the main program. Floor is officially only a temporary replacement because they had a falling out with their singer Anette Olzon in the middle of the tour. Two days before the next concert, they suddenly had no singer. Of the 48 hours, Floor needed 20 hours just to get there. She had to learn the set list by heart for 1.5 hours. She says of her first performance that her voice was only 50 percent there and that she sometimes had to sing behind the front row because she didn't know the lyrics. Tuomas says she was perfect. At the time of the video, it had already been agreed internally that she would be Nightwish's third singer and she still is today. The song with which the band had their breakthrough and made it to mainstream radio in Europe was this one: Nightwish - Nemo (LIVE)
I'm new to this channel and never saw your old reactions previously. I like your old man vibe, as I'm also an old man. Don't know If you ever reacted to Nightwish performing "yours is an empty hope" live from Wembley. You'll love a Floor with a tad more grit in her voice. And if you want to see a Floor doing it all from growing,.to rocky, to operatic in a single song. Check out Floors band Revamp, before she got the call from Nightwish, with their song: Revamp Disdain, live from Graspop in 2010 You'll be amazed.. either way
New album September 20! 2 new singles w/videos. Music back to 1996! I cannot wait for the album. Romanticide from the same show will give you what you seek. I subscribed for the ride.
Floor (the Valkyrie Goddess) Jansen is over 6 feet tall, and she's wearing 4 to 5 inch heels here.......Tuomas (the Metal Mozart) Holopainen is the keyboardist, co-founder (in 1996), leader, guru, composer, lyricist, arranger, and producer of 95% of the band's music....audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000......this entire legendary show is available on DVD, and RUclips, under the title of "Showtime, Storytime"......those weren't "cold chills" you experienced; they were Floorgasms......stand by for when your contacted by one Gabriel Bardac, who will provide you with history, and a suggested playlist......I saw Rush in the mid 70's (before Neil) when they traveled the midwest playing small venues.......hello from the Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA.......
Well, I subscribed now it seems to me you have been guided to some rabbit holes I love (Nightwish, Epica, Ayreon, for instance). Look forward to further reactions to great music. Rock on.
Every song is different and feels better then the previous one 😅 Big can of surprises with this band. All live performances are (almost) as tight as the studio version. So improvisation to show off, is not really their thing, every note is on purpose and well thought out. Doesn't mean some songs will not shock you to the core. Have fun!
first off am 72, seen alot of top rock bands in euroland and US. deep purple uriah heeo golden earing backmon t overdrive, etc. consider nightwish top 3 rock band ever, ever. the music, poetry and singinging. and Jukka the drummer is best ever and started with buddy rich.
Glad you decided to react to this band,This is with their 3rd singer Floor Jansen,a 6’1” Dutch vocal beast..They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,hope you decide to dip your toe into some more..if you do then definitely use Gabriel’s list as it has the best quality videos performance and audio wise.👍
OMG The operation mindcrime reference was spot on like mine. And I think Operation mc is one of the the best heavy metal album ever made. But then like the millions of us I fell in love with Floor. She is like this amazing beacon of emotions when she sings. She will lure you in with gentle mother´s love and then BOOM! raw untaimed power that makes your teeth drop! The best performer on this planet. Male or female. Period.
If you've never heard a band called Falling in Reverse, I would love for you to start with the songs Popular Monster and Zombified. They are an American rock band❤🤘❤
Thanks for doing this one, great reaction . Well, if you like the Wacken Open Air concerts, then you also have to watch: - BLIND GUARDIAN with *_"The Bard's Song & Valhalla"_* : ruclips.net/video/i-IcX_bccFc/видео.html (Live at Wacken Open Air 2016) - AVANTASIA with *_"The Scarecrow"_* : ruclips.net/video/r6wLizV5Xpc/видео.html ( Live at Wacken Open Air 2017) Another suggestion would be from the Netherlands EPICA, a band active since 2002 and definatly like Nightwish ..... a rabbiyhole, with a female singer who's a childhood best friends with Floor Jansen (Nightwish) called Simone Simons. Start watching with *_"Unleashed"_* : ruclips.net/video/rxd6sxLxdys/видео.html (live)
i just subscined just because i want to see your reaction to more of nightwish. you wanted heavier. try Romanticide, i wish i had an angel, song of myself, ghost river, so many more. oh yea, Yours is an empty hope! try them all…..
Operation Mindcrime is a classic! Not a hit. Just a great progressive song with a beautiful and powerful emotional composition. Totally unique. Nightwish is focused on song composition and less about individual technical ability.
You have not heard of this band because the American music industry doesn’t support foreign artists. This band sounds best LIVE! Every song is different, almost all composed by the keyboardist.
well phantom, you never heard of this band because the the US music is agenda. promote whoever just not the best music. 1 day you will find out why Nightwish is better than almost everybody and deep purple was gold. thhey started everything
Floor?????????????ouve Tarja a única cantora da banda nightwish❤ouve esta musica na voz de Tarja e outras.....mas é o meu gosto pessoal.......Tarja é melhor.....musicas....walking in the air,the sirene,swantheart,sleeping the sun e muito mais❤
Dude, you are OK, but you are not in the Nightwish army!!! Sorry, but you are are just a poser!
Suck it, loser!!!
Welcome to a musical journey you will never forget!

Hello
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Gabriel and Martine out here doing the Lords work. Welcome to the Nightwish Army, I am here representing the SW Ohio division.🤘
This is the 13th song of a 15 song set , amazing stamina hence the small breaks . This whole concert is very well worth checking out
While waiting for Gabriel I suggest Romanticide also from Wacken 2013. Just to keep you entertained 😁. Loved your reaction by the way!
Already got Romanticide on here! Lol

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!

Unlimited shredding is not in the modus operandi of the band, Emppu is the guitarist of necessity, doing what is needed and doing it well.

Savatage has been one of my fav bands since I bought Hall of the Mountain King on cassette.
