Emppu co-wrote the music with Tuomas. Century Child was the first album recorded with Marko. You were close, yep about a songwriters feeling when their work is harshly criticized. ooo, declaring this as your new favorite halfway through, before Marko and Floor started singing together, that must have cemented that opinion LOL. Just 2 left at this concert, 2 of the epic ones. TGSOE and GLS.
Great review/reaction as always. Nikki has evolved to true Nightwish-fan. I don't really mind if Nightwish goes back into this direction again. These oldies are so good.
Angry Floor = ReVamp! (You did "Disdain" and "Trial of Monsters" from 2010). Now enjoy "Here's My Hell" Live at Bloodstock 2014 and "Wild Card" Live at Bloodstock 2014 :D
@eviews hey Nikki, I knew back when you 1st reacted to GLS Wacken 2013 you would fall in love with this band & Floor,they are just so unique & talented they deserve to be mega stars worldwide, but as for "heavy" ? this is by far NW heaviest song, never played Live, it's a bit angry,directed towards Tarja"s husband/manager:,Marko on vocals Nightwish - Master Passion Greed (Special Video) Bkib0dIziXk or Lyric version :S7NrPNjACI
Hi Nikki, greetings from UK 😉 I had forgotten about your aversion to swinging things like pendulums 🤣 Well done for not closing your eyes 😁 Metal rap, who would have thunk it? 😂 I do like this song, and such great backdrop effects with the fire As always it is such a cosy awesome reaction by you when we are all watching together 🥰❤
Haha yes..those pendulums. 🫣 Thank you for always tuning in! ☺️ It means a lot and I'm really thankful for the group of people we brought in to share music with! 🎵💫
I see a big smile from ear to ear.. must be NW Wednesday ;) With only two more to go, it looks like Tampere Tuesday may be on the horizon? Magnificent concert with Floor on top of her vocal game (the subtlety & colouring at the end of GLS when Floor's out on the runway is absolutely unmatched). Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
😁 Tampere? That’s a weird way to spell Tammerfors. Anyway, the most important thing is that our Swedish Valkyrja is there. The bright -Finnish- Eastern Swedish summer night also adds to the awesomeness. Magnificent concert indeed!🤘 Perkele.
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Weird indeed, since we all know that Tammerfors is actually a metathesis of "Ammersfort", which is derived from the ancient medieval city of Amersfoort in the -Netherlands- sorry.. Nedermarken. So it's all a Dutch affair once again. Certainly at that 2015 concert with the whole Jansen family in attendance. Imagine Irene jumping on stage for a little Jansen & Jansen interlude. Would've been awesome.
@nchase9736 Yes! J&J singing “Who I Am” at a Nightwish concert. Troy shredding a sitar solo.😂 Would be great. Somebody needs to donate a few Dutchmarks to make it happen.😉
@yerbeeswax8194 Buy them a coffee perhaps? Or have I been watching too many YT reaction videos? 😂 "shedding a sitar solo", haha trvly stunning syllabic iteration stuff right there! Meanwhile, a word of w@rning to you my esteemed but also rather envious Swedophile.. No need for this r@bid Suomophobia, just cuz you can't rrrroll your R'se prrroperly! 🙃
Well, that song escalated quickly 😊 Tuomas beating his fist on the keyboards is something that you don't see everyday. This is probably one of his most eclectic compositions ever.
Always Love your reactions Nikki!!Special effects on the stage are badass,gotta love the flames!! LOL..I thought it was over too!!Thinking wow that was a short song,lol!!
Well, I told you this is the best concert. A rare example of a Tuomas' "hate" song, though that's only a small part. 2 hours into the concert and the vocal gymnastics are incredible, not least the rapid triplets at the end An exhausting song to put near the end of a show
You may say "this is my favorite", but that isn't going to help in escaping the final test, when you hear them all: name the top5. I'll wish you good luck at that point, lol.
You get it Nikki. The greed and control by record companies is a big part of his anger. I think you should check out a younger Floor performing "Equally Destructive" live with After Forever in 2007. ruclips.net/video/rhC3UrghELs/видео.html - After Forever - Equally Destructive Live at Masters Of Rock (2007)
Great reaction Nikki. I always thought this song was Tuomas ranting about the greed of the music business and how it gets in the way of creating art but another commenter mentioned that in the Nightwish official biography, Once Upon a Nightwish, Tuomas said he wrote the song after he was approached in a bar in Finland by a friend of Tarja's saying he was an asshole. From the book "Slaying the Dreamer is extremely heavy. I wrote the lyrics after a bar night at five a.m. I had just been told what a horrible person and an asshole I am, blah blah. The whole thing was actually really insignificant, but it hurt me like a thousand needles. Tarja's good friend came up to me in Kitee's Karhu Bar and said, "You treat Tarja so fuckin' bad - don't you understand how much she has done for your band? How dare you not give any credit to her!" Like, "Don't you ever think about what Tarja's going through", stuff like that. This person, whom I hardly even know, gave me total hell for five minutes. I have nothing against him personally, but the incident kind of triggered many traumas. I wanted to tell some people what I really think about them, and when I got back home, I wrote 'Slaying the Dreamer'. In the morning, I read the lyrics in a clearer state of mind and deleted the f-words. The result can be heard on the album"
Not one of my personal favorites of theirs, Nikki, but I do like it very much. They just have so many other great songs and performances that I like even better. 🤷♂ Great to see you enjoying it so much, though. 👍🤟
I understand that! They have so many good songs, it's hard for me to narrow down a favorite. It seems to change as time goes on and I learn more new songs. 😂
Ohio, not too far away from me! (Pennsylvania 😊) Thank you for watching, and yes - this is a great one! I've been playing it nonstop since listening to this. 😂
This was from the 2002 album 'Century Child' by Nightwish... it was a dark record lyrically because Tuomas was considering ending the band because of his issues w/ the music business and his own issues w/ pressure and (likely) depression... There were a few songs on the album that revealed his internal despair at the time: 'End of all hope' ... 'Dead to the world' ... 'Bless the child' It's easy to be an unknown musician to write songs and put them out... it's much more stressful when ur band is famous and the pressure comes from all sides on the songwriter (Tuomas) to make the fans happy and the record label money$$$... Add in the haters who publicly put him down in the press and hate on the band, and u get the song - 'Slaying the dreamer'...
the passion being displayed here is second to none the highs and lows and other elements of the song the shifting light and dark the dissonance between floor and markco is cool too this is my top 5 such a heavy track what a masterpiece
I love Nightwish Wednesday! So what’s after Buenos Aires? Tampere? Some older Tarja and Annete songs? I suggest End of An Era concert for the next one. Still lots of great concerts and still lots of songs you haven’t heard!
@@nikkireviews I think the only downside is not many new songs in that concert, it’s basically the same as the Wembley concert. I’d consider out end of an era from 2005.
I love Floor but in this song, I missed the opera details while Marco was singing! the darkness or goth touch that the opera singing brings to this song was missing
Nightwish is kinda special, as in extremely perfectly good with a nice balance between a sense of humor a lot of drama and reality.

Yes! That cemented it for me. 😉 I think Ever Dream is a close second. 🤔 I'm looking forward to the big ones closing out the Buenos Aires series!
Nightwish is just sheer perfection on stage.....every single member.
Great review/reaction as always. Nikki has evolved to true Nightwish-fan. I don't really mind if Nightwish goes back into this direction again. These oldies are so good.
Thank you, and yes! I love this style (but also appreciate their more *magical* stuff as well ☺️).

What an amazing song, what an amazing band, and what sn amazing reaction - you really put a smile on my face, so thankyou so much Nikki 🤘🙂🤘
Thank YOU! I'm glad you're along for the Nightwish journey with me! 💛💫
Tuomas was so angry when he wrote this he actually had to tone done the lyrics to record it.🤘🎸
Once again the songs selected for this tour and the arrangements of those songs was just amazing. Fun reaction.
👍👍Outstanding live performance by Nightwish! 🖖❤
So good!
@eviews hey Nikki, I knew back when you 1st reacted to GLS Wacken 2013 you would fall in love with this band & Floor,they are just so unique & talented they deserve to be mega stars worldwide, but as for "heavy" ? this is by far NW heaviest song, never played Live, it's a bit angry,directed towards Tarja"s husband/manager:,Marko on vocals

Hey Nikki, I especially like this verse
"Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on paper" - I would have loved to see this "old" song live.
Oh I'm sure that would be amazing to see in person! And I like that verse as well! 🎵
If you want to hear another amazing song from Century Child check out "Beauty Of the Beast"

Chemical reaction between Floor and Marko. A lot of energy is going on between hole the band.
Tuomas wrote this song about music critics and people trying to destroy artists.
My favorite performance in this concert.
It's so good!
Oh yeah we know your busy with other things too, have a good end of the week Nikki and wkend!!!
This one became an instant personal favourite first time I listened to it. It's just cool!
It really is! 🎸🤘🏻
Great reaction, enjoyed!!!
Tuomas = The Dreamer in this song...
This live version is infinitely better than the original album version!
🤘🇫🇮👍😎🔥❤️
🤘🏻🎸☺️🎵💫
Floor at her best... and you too for that matter
I concur, Nikki is soooo comfortable with us all now. It really shows in her reactions and smile 😊

Aimed at the NW label causing them trouble.
It must have been about Tarja again 😁
Tuomas is literally obsessed with her in some of his songs.😁😁
I thnk it's about the industry of music and touring sucking dry the artists.
