I'm glad you liked it, and that you will continue to explore Nightwish music (new subscriber here, to follow your journey). When you smile from your heart, your eyes shine :) it was a real pleasure for me to see that. All the best, from Romania!
You are absolutely right, Gabriel! Her smile creates a beauty that comes up from her heart! So wonderful to watch such pleasure, and experience it again through this wonderful lady.
I never heard of this band until 2019. Until then I thought that the era of good music was over, I thought that major record labels just cynically pushed easily marketable, low cost, low quality crap onto listeners to maximise their bottom line. Nightwish blew me away. I was so wrong about good music, as I found out when I started my dive into the vast and interconnected world of European Symphonic Metal. Storytime is a song that I found early, and still makes me scream for joy. Have fun on your journey!
I think most labels would prefer us to listen to the spoon fed crap that they churn out. Luckily some talents are indomitable and they will find a way to get their stuff out there - unfortunately it takes some tracking down on our parts but is worth it if you discover Nightwish, Epica, Sabaton, Blind Guardian etc.
Regarding record companies, a good story about Nightwish from 2004 came to mind, when their record deal had ended and they were negotiating a new contract with different companies. Have to find it for you... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The big labels were quick to promise the moon and the stars, but something about them just wasn't right", Tuomas said. "For instance, they wanted to make a four-album deal, which in our case would mean a contract of about ten years - and in ten years, the whole group could be ground to pieces both physically and mentally many times over. Besides, for a big company, even a half a million sold copies can mean that an album has flopped. That's why we signed to Nuclear Blast in Germany - it's better to be one of their top priorities instead of being a small band in a multinational's roster, filed under 'maybe later'. Surprisingly enough, Sony, for example, was very much in the game, although they hadn't shown any interest whatsoever earlier. I bet the success of Evanescence was the reason for their sudden enthusiasm." Known for their modern brand of Gothic Metal and prominent female vocalist, Evanescence had sold huge amounts all over the world, especially in the United States, and consequently, record companies began a frantic search for their very own Evanescence. Yet the big companies lost their chance with Nightwish once and for all when they revealed their willigness to tamper with the band's music. "The last straw was when we sent out a few demo songs to map out the interest", Tuomas recalls. "It wasn't long until we received incredibly detailed questions about how the C-part of the song will be changed, and as to what direction the lyrics will be going. They wanted to know things like these in advance before even thinking about signing us. It felt like we had just made a raw demo that was supposed to be gradually polished, but the songs we'd sent out were final versions! You start thinking about how the cooperation will turn out in the end if they're already playing hard ball at this stage." Even though the game involved international heavyweight players, the deal for the European release of 'Once' was finally signed with the German independent Nuclear Blast, a label that has specialized almost exclusively in Metal music for than a decade (at that time).
@@ValtteL Nice info. Iremember what the big labels did to metal during the mid to late 1980's . A lot of decent "Hair Metal" bands started churning out albums every 12-18 months and making embarrassing videos for MTV and every album had to have the obligatory power ballad for the potential mainstream hit. It's good to see that Tuomas was wise to this and avoided becoming part of the latest fad during the 2000's.
The genius of the compositions are glorious - how he pauses, builds tension and then releases it does something to ones soul. Every song is different, and each song affects you emotionally, whether you think you have them or not. Watching a Nightwish performance is a masterclass on music, composition and delivery.
And another soul snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess and Nightwish. I truly envy you this journey you're undertaking. It will continue you to shake you no matter which song you choose. Enjoy!!
"Makes me feel." Those three short words you said are a perfect description of Nightwish combined with Floor. The band had always been great, but Floor makes us feel as well as hear these masterpieces.
Jynger - Please take this advice!! Many will recommend Wembley, and I highly suggest watching it, but do Tampere first. Also, please publish both, because there are enough differences, and I think we'd love to see your comparison!
You seem to enjoying and that's the most important thing. I recommend you to check next 'I Want My Tears Back' (Buenos Aires live). It introduces the band's sixth member, Troy Donockley. Great multi-instrumentalist from UK. He's not in every song, but when he is, he always brings really cool nuances to the songs.
One year ago …..This Wacken Storytime version was my introduction and entry to Nightwish. I’ve never been the same ever since. That’s the impact this band and Floor has on anyone listening . Great reaction. Keep rocking 💥💥
Nightwish is music not just to listen to but to feel and think as well. You have only got a small glimpse of what's to come. What band survives 3 lead vocalist changes. 3 bassists. 2 drummers and just keeps getting better and better.
Every Nightwish fan right now: "she hasn't even heard Marko sing yet" 🤣 I'd recommend Ever Dream (also from Wacken 2013) for your next reaction. It'll give you a brief introduction to Marko's power
Incredible…yes! And you’ve just experienced the tip of the iceberg! Your eyes and smile clearly showed how much you’re enjoying this band. From this same Wacken 2013 show…Song of Myself, Everdream, and Romanticide. I think you’ll like those.
The best part of this whole thing is........You have not heard anything yet! Please continue. Their best song, is that last one you listened to. That woman can do anything.
I sometimes wonder why I watch people 'reacting' to stuff I know by heart and love every note of anyway..? I think it's because I'm a little jealous of you experiencing this for the first time? Glad you're taking the trip down the rabbit hole...so much to come and very little repetition. A beintot
We've all been through it with music where we become a fan of a band that we listen to a lot, learn all the lyrics, read the occasional interview, keep up with their latest happenings, and so on.. and thennnn along comes a band that just completely changes your perspective and you become a true follower from then on. Nightwish is that band for me, and this song drew me in for life.
Well put. Though I liken Anette to a Heintzmann, a famous late 19th early 20th century player piano brand famous for incredibly light touch and snap back, capable of playing faster than a concert grand. On Storytime especially Anette has this ultra crisp enunciation, better even than Floor's. But Meadows of Heaven ending proves she can wail too.
Nightwish the best of Finland. Amazing band with so much tallent. Nightwish puts i smile on your face..and you where smiling the whole time. Thanks for reacting to Nightwish. ❤️
I would recommend checking out the show opener for this gig: Dark Chest of Wonders (wacken 2013). Imagine being there and the band starting with a song like that! Another song from that gig that's way underrated is Ghost River. It has great singing by both Floor and Marco.
Glad you're continuing with Nightwish! Nightwish can take you to the highest hills of joy and happiness or to the deepest valley of sadness. Tuomas transports you to different places with his music. And every song is a different story! The story can be fiction, fantasy or from the real world and sometimes even an educational story. Those related to real life are often also the sad stories. Nightwish has made 9 albums and one movie soundtrack album (and they've also made one movie!), and each song is its own kind, its own story. In the summer of 2023, they will start making their 10th album.
Awesome... on floor's site she also did allot of covers and her own songs. In case your interested. To further show why floor is the most talented, versatile, powerful female vocalist on the planet today. I would put her up against any singer in any genre.. thx for the react. ROCK ON!
Had to watch you react a 2nd time... Love it! Did I see some tears start appearing in the end ? 💕 Love when they bring emotions! And they do! We got you girrl, just fall into the army's safety net. We'll catch you 💞 Much Love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
Thank you so much! Their music definitely makes you feel! To me that is what makes music worth listening to. If I can put a song on and just get lost in the music and lyrics and have all kind of emotions surface, then you know it’s a incredible song and band! I’m glad the army is enjoying the ride!!
Subbed ! No matter how many times I listen to this band, to this concert, the reaction is the same. I'm a 53yr old ex Infantry Marine, and Floor Jansen has sang tears into my eyes on many occasions. I like your reactions because you seem genuine, and that's hard to come by these days. Rock on Sister , you can't go wrong with anything Nightwish or Floor Jansen in the title.
Jynger ❤, I love your genuine reactions to Nightwish. I stumbled on Nightwish 2 years ago, only after seeing Floor during an interview on Dutch television. Then the reaction video’s came about. Just as you I became a huge Nightwish fan and I am glad I could ajoin their concert in Amsterdam last year. Once in a while I dive into youtube ractions and found them to be somewhat boring. But seeing your reaction on Nightwish, made me watch 4 songs in a row of your reactions. I love ‘em. You are as lovely as Floor’s voice.
Jynger please stay like you are - i love to see you cheering, cying, dreaming, enjoying. You are by far my most favourite youtuber, because i feel the same! But you are so genuine and honest and dont use the videos for your own purpose, you let the music play and dont interrupt them dont maximise your picture, just to present yourself. You are really great. Please carry on like this! Love your videos so much...
Thank you so much for the amazing and kind words!! That means a lot to me and makes me happy you are enjoying my content cause I am enjoying every second of making them! I am hear to discover great music that you guys have brought to my attention and share my journey with you all cause I am having a blast!! Take care my friend!
Nightwish at Wacken 2013 is an absolutely epic set and every song in the set is amazing. Every song. It starts out with incredible energy with "Dark Chest of Wonders" and maintains the energy level for the entire 90 minute show right through to the closer "Last Ride of the Day". Floor Jansen's incredible voice, command of the huge crowd and stage charisma, combined with the incredible musicianship of the entire band and the epic songs written by keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen make Nightwish a unique experience. The entire Nightwish Wacken 2013 concert is available on RUclips and if you just went through that one concert you would (a) be completely blown away from start to finish and (b) have months worth of excellent content that would draw the Nightwish Army to your channel like an invading hoard. I'm subscribed and looking forward to more Nightwish reactions!
Haha nice. The whole Wacken concert is nuts. Only 13 left. 😊 it was the beginning of the era with Floor and it will blow your mind discovering what is coming. They already did a show at Hellfest 2022 Festival. Recorded. And unbelievable. Same Energy like 2013. And you haven't seen Wembley, Tampere or Buenos Aires, yet. 😂 There has been also the Tarja era until 2005. Same insanity. Check out "Phantom of the Opera" End of an era live. Brutal. 🤩 And if you need some other deep rabbit holes... Epica, Ayreon, Star One, Within Temptation, Sabaton or Rammstein. So much left. Maybe a good one to start with is EPICA "Skeleton Key" or "Unchain Utopia" from the Omega Alive. Be careful. You know now the goddess and valkyrie of Metal music Floor Jansen. You will know then the siren of Metal Simone Simons from Epica. ENJOY!!!
I love your reactions the most, because theres no pause all 20 Seconds. You are watching the whole thing and its great to see how much you enjoy it. How about "The Greatest Show On Earth" Live in Tampere?
Oh, my God yes! New subscriber here. Thank you for this incredible reaction. The Nightwish Army is here for you. Floor is our Valkyrie goddess and Tuomas is the master composer, lyricist, and keyboardist. Keep working your way down Gabriel Baldac's list. Loved it.
Great reaction! This is a good video to show how much the band enjoys performing. Smiles galore. It doesn’t matter which song you react to next because they are all awesome. Here’s one where you will hear Marko (bass) singing backup and floor does just a little growling. 😄🤘 Ghost River: ruclips.net/video/05eitd-EA6I/видео.html
One of the jewels of Nightwish. I recomment " The greatest show on earth" to be ur next Nightwish reaction. Just make sure to watch all the video including the words of Richard Dawkins.
People are rightfully suggesting to do "Greatest show on earth" next but i personally think you should get a few more songs under your belt, before you listen to that masterpiece composition. The reason i say you do best to wait a little longer, is because it is such a big song, such a powerful message, that i feel, you need to be prepared and know the band's musical messaging a little better (it will make it even more impactful is what i'm saying)... also, when you do, pick the one with Richard Dawkins even though the other option is more playful, Dawkins' impact is massive. Now, what songs you listen to first is up to you, heck.. if your next song is "The greatest show on earth", it would be a perfect "next song" as well because it's such a good song. But i personally hope you will wait a couple of songs before getting to that one, so.. i hope to see "Romanticide" and "Noise" soon. Oh and another song you really want to postpone is "Poet and the pendulum" that too is an amazing song but it is very very dark as it is one of (if not the) his most personal stories Tuomas has created for Nightwish. Love your reactions, you seem the type of person who Nightwish was created for, Nightwish is empathy, Nightwish is a feeling, not only togetherness but also actual... you feel their music in your soul, it touches the inner core of one self. And with Floor the band has struck gold, she is their Freddie Mercury, she is the showman, or in her case the show-woman with the magnetic charisma, crowd control and abilities that only people like her and Freddie are blessed with. (ps, showing my age here, i've seen pretty much all of the big name bands live, from the Stones, to Queen, Nightwish to Iron Maiden, Deep Purple to Prince and anything in between, in that list Freddie was the king of the stage, everyone else was magical in their own right, but Freddie was magnetic, and so is Floor, she is the only one i rank as an equal to Freddie, and yes.. this is my very personal opinion because everyone has his or her own list of people they admire ;) )
Your either a great actress, or you genuinely felt the power of such Nightwishes emotionally written music for the first time, it looked genuine and heartfelt. i too discovered Nightwishe later on (about 6 years ago) by accident, sat transfixed for hours just watching on repeat tears rolling down my face, why, couldent tell you, as i dont know, just everything and nothing, The whole waken concert is available on you tube, and well worth a watch, best by yourself with no distractions, and something to wipe the tears away with.
Glad you enjoyed it! Plenty of head banging ahead from Floor on your journey 😀. By the way I have to ask with due respect, do you get alot of young Goldie Hawn look alike? ( Big compliment) thanks again 😊🤟🏻
Lovely reaction. 🙂 Floor is an enchantress, and I am wholly and completely under her spell. The whole band is incredible .... they make me grin like a maniac one minute, then bring tears to my eyes the next. Tuomas is a genius of epic proportions, and in Floor (along with the rest of the band) he has the perfect tool to manifest his vision and present something truly extraordinary. I too only discovered Nightwish a short time ago, but they have quickly become one of my all-time favourite bands, and I listen to them daily. Keep up the Nightwish reactions, and I for one, as a new subscriber, will enjoy watching your journey of discovery. As much as I selfishly want you to react to my personal favourites immediately, I won't ask for any particular song .... at the end of the day, you can't go wrong following Gabriel's list. All the very best from the Australian Division of the Nightwish Army.
“This band in incredible!” - Indeed! I am so happy you enjoyed Storytime. It is one of my favorite Nightwish songs. Of course, sometimes it seems the current Nightwish song I am listening to at that moment if my favorite. I love ❤️ Nightwish as well. Both the music they create and then perform on their tours and each individual band member for who they are and what they contribute to the band.
Yeaah! If ghost love score is like epic orchestral soundtrack, storytime is one of the most positive of their songs! I love the fairytale lyric of this song! Will be glad to see the next time your react to "Ever dream" or "Romanticide" with great addition Marko's voice and Emppu guitar solos!)
Nightwish Army, Texas Regiment, Disabled old Man Company, reporting! This is one of the old, heavy metal, hard rock enthusiast from way back in the mid 1960's, when I would go to my best friends house and listen to The Doors, Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath, then Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, Nazareth, Grand Funk Railroad...etc. Then we would go to Heavy Metal concerts, like Judas Priest, Metallica, Mega Death, top it of with a visit to the Rolling Stones' Voodoo Lounge with 65,000 other people! Besides seeing Nightwish in concert, I still want to see AC/DC in concert before they fade off into the old retirement home for Rock 'N' Roll Royality!!! Keep up the excellent videos....
My favorite song! Usually. Sometimes it's another Nightwish song, when I am listening to that one, but usually it is this one, lol, and this is far and away the best performance of it. It gets better though, because there's so many other fantastic songs by them! Try Everdream next!
The beauty of Nightwish is that no song sounds like the other. I have loved this band since I was a child and still listen to their songs every day and attend their concerts as often as possible.I have never been bored with their music, although I could sing every song in my sleep and know the smallest detail of every video. At Nightwish, the addictive factor is at its absolute high.I wish you from the bottom of my heart that you will feel the same way.🤗
Nightwish is such an amazing ride! I'm so glad you're taking the journey. It's so fun to watch people listening for the first time! Thanks for doing this!
Great reaction ! I never heard of Nightwish until Covid Lockdown, where I started to surf more.... It is clear to me that their Wacken 2013 concert is perhaps the best live performance of this Millennium.
So many more amazing songs to experience. You have just begun this wonderous journey. I look forward to your next encounter with the the Dutch Valkyrie queen of symphonic metal. See you then JyngerSlapz! Loved it! 💖💖🙏🙏🔥🔥
Watching your genuine delight and surprise was great. We wouldn't have gotten that had you started making a playlist in advance. It is very genuine this way. As you learn more about the band and their history with their three singers, change in drummer, and loss of their bassist and addition of Troy along the way. You'll then branch off into Floors's solo pieces and other incredible European Symphonic metal music and bands that are just outstanding. As you said, the Nightwish Army will be along for the ride. So Cal foot soldier signing out...for now.
Love your reactions. Nightwish is really something else (in a good way of course). A song i would recomend is "Arch Enemy - Handshake With Hell" Keep up the good work! :)
The pure joy written all over your face; had me smiling and feeling extremely happy. Thank you so much, I really needed this. Nightwish is the best at having the perfect song for whatever you need. Amazing reaction.

When Tuomas had Tarja
He had a Stradivarius
When Tuomas had Anette
He had a Steinway
Tuomas now has Floor
He now has the whole freaking Orchestra
Well put.

On Storytime especially Anette has this ultra crisp enunciation, better even than Floor's. But Meadows of Heaven ending proves she can wail too.
Absolutely True 🤘
Great description for Floor the most versatile and creative singer of the world imo

Hey there. Thanks 👍 Nice reaction.
In two days I will be going to see Nightwish live. It is going to be a treat.
That is awesome!!! I would love to hear about your experience!! Enjoy!!
Jynger ❤, I love your genuine reactions to Nightwish. I stumbled on Nightwish 2 years ago, only after seeing Floor during an interview on Dutch television. Then the reaction video’s came about. Just as you I became a huge Nightwish fan and I am glad I could ajoin their concert in Amsterdam last year. Once in a while I dive into youtube ractions and found them to be somewhat boring. But seeing your reaction on Nightwish, made me watch 4 songs in a row of your reactions. I love ‘em. You are as lovely as Floor’s voice.
Thank you so much for the awesome and kind words my friend!
@@JyngerSlapz You are so welcome!
Jynger please stay like you are - i love to see you cheering, cying, dreaming, enjoying. You are by far my most favourite youtuber, because i feel the same! But you are so genuine and honest and dont use the videos for your own purpose, you let the music play and dont interrupt them dont maximise your picture, just to present yourself. You are really great. Please carry on like this! Love your videos so much...
Thank you so much for the amazing and kind words!! That means a lot to me and makes me happy you are enjoying my content cause I am enjoying every second of making them! I am hear to discover great music that you guys have brought to my attention and share my journey with you all cause I am having a blast!! Take care my friend!
I just saw Nightwish in Chicago in may. Scored 3 row center stage. I was mesmerized and didnt move the whole show. It was amazing.
Nightwish at Wacken 2013 is an absolutely epic set and every song in the set is amazing. Every song. It starts out with incredible energy with "Dark Chest of Wonders" and maintains the energy level for the entire 90 minute show right through to the closer "Last Ride of the Day". Floor Jansen's incredible voice, command of the huge crowd and stage charisma, combined with the incredible musicianship of the entire band and the epic songs written by keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen make Nightwish a unique experience. The entire Nightwish Wacken 2013 concert is available on RUclips and if you just went through that one concert you would (a) be completely blown away from start to finish and (b) have months worth of excellent content that would draw the Nightwish Army to your channel like an invading hoard. I'm subscribed and looking forward to more Nightwish reactions!
The best part about Nightwish is that they always have so much fun performing and it shows.
Haha nice. The whole Wacken concert is nuts. Only 13 left. 😊 it was the beginning of the era with Floor and it will blow your mind discovering what is coming. They already did a show at Hellfest 2022 Festival. Recorded. And unbelievable. Same Energy like 2013. And you haven't seen Wembley, Tampere or Buenos Aires, yet. 😂 There has been also the Tarja era until 2005. Same insanity. Check out "Phantom of the Opera" End of an era live. Brutal. 🤩 And if you need some other deep rabbit holes... Epica, Ayreon, Star One, Within Temptation, Sabaton or Rammstein. So much left. Maybe a good one to start with is EPICA "Skeleton Key" or "Unchain Utopia" from the Omega Alive. Be careful. You know now the goddess and valkyrie of Metal music Floor Jansen. You will know then the siren of Metal Simone Simons from Epica. ENJOY!!!
I love your reactions the most, because theres no pause all 20 Seconds. You are watching the whole thing and its great to see how much you enjoy it.
How about "The Greatest Show On Earth" Live in Tampere?
Oh, my God yes! New subscriber here. Thank you for this incredible reaction. The Nightwish Army is here for you. Floor is our Valkyrie goddess and Tuomas is the master composer, lyricist, and keyboardist. Keep working your way down Gabriel Baldac's list. Loved it.
Great reaction! This is a good video to show how much the band enjoys performing. Smiles galore. It doesn’t matter which song you react to next because they are all awesome. Here’s one where you will hear Marko (bass) singing backup and floor does just a little growling. 😄🤘 Ghost River: ruclips.net/video/05eitd-EA6I/видео.html
It's always nice seeing another Nitghwish fan being born.
more more please MORE !!
One of the jewels of Nightwish. I recomment " The greatest show on earth" to be ur next Nightwish reaction. Just make sure to watch all the video including the words of Richard Dawkins.
You're not really the type to "Save the best for last", right?
best rock band in 40 years. another awesome reaction. thanks for Colorado. time for Romanticide. same concert.
Visited this reaction. Great stuff. Thank you. Greetings from nwAse Sweden
Great reaction, the 2 songs that absolute masterpieces are The Poet And The Pendulum live in London and The Greatest Show On Earth, live at Tempere.
People are rightfully suggesting to do "Greatest show on earth" next but i personally think you should get a few more songs under your belt, before you listen to that masterpiece composition.
The reason i say you do best to wait a little longer, is because it is such a big song, such a powerful message, that i feel, you need to be prepared and know the band's musical messaging a little better (it will make it even more impactful is what i'm saying)... also, when you do, pick the one with Richard Dawkins even though the other option is more playful, Dawkins' impact is massive.
Now, what songs you listen to first is up to you, heck.. if your next song is "The greatest show on earth", it would be a perfect "next song" as well because it's such a good song.
But i personally hope you will wait a couple of songs before getting to that one, so.. i hope to see "Romanticide" and "Noise" soon.
Oh and another song you really want to postpone is "Poet and the pendulum" that too is an amazing song but it is very very dark as it is one of (if not the) his most personal stories Tuomas has created for Nightwish.
Love your reactions, you seem the type of person who Nightwish was created for, Nightwish is empathy, Nightwish is a feeling, not only togetherness but also actual... you feel their music in your soul, it touches the inner core of one self.
And with Floor the band has struck gold, she is their Freddie Mercury, she is the showman, or in her case the show-woman with the magnetic charisma, crowd control and abilities that only people like her and Freddie are blessed with.
(ps, showing my age here, i've seen pretty much all of the big name bands live, from the Stones, to Queen, Nightwish to Iron Maiden, Deep Purple to Prince and anything in between, in that list Freddie was the king of the stage, everyone else was magical in their own right, but Freddie was magnetic, and so is Floor, she is the only one i rank as an equal to Freddie, and yes.. this is my very personal opinion because everyone has his or her own list of people they admire ;) )
Your either a great actress, or you genuinely felt the power of such Nightwishes emotionally written music for the first time, it looked genuine and heartfelt. i too discovered Nightwishe later on (about 6 years ago) by accident, sat transfixed for hours just watching on repeat tears rolling down my face, why, couldent tell you, as i dont know, just everything and nothing, The whole waken concert is available on you tube, and well worth a watch, best by yourself with no distractions, and something to wipe the tears away with.
Hi Jynger. You really seem to like the head banging parts. " Romanticide" will blow you away... Welcome to the Nightwish Army...😎
Cool to meet ya and welcome to the world of Nightwish! 🤘
Glad you enjoyed it! Plenty of head banging ahead from Floor on your journey 😀. By the way I have to ask with due respect, do you get alot of young Goldie Hawn look alike? ( Big compliment) thanks again 😊🤟🏻
Thank you and you are the first person to say I look like Goldie Hawn. Huge compliment!
THANK YOU! I was racking my brain to try think of weho she reminds me of! THAT'S IT!
Lovely reaction. 🙂 Floor is an enchantress, and I am wholly and completely under her spell. The whole band is incredible .... they make me grin like a maniac one minute, then bring tears to my eyes the next. Tuomas is a genius of epic proportions, and in Floor (along with the rest of the band) he has the perfect tool to manifest his vision and present something truly extraordinary. I too only discovered Nightwish a short time ago, but they have quickly become one of my all-time favourite bands, and I listen to them daily. Keep up the Nightwish reactions, and I for one, as a new subscriber, will enjoy watching your journey of discovery. As much as I selfishly want you to react to my personal favourites immediately, I won't ask for any particular song .... at the end of the day, you can't go wrong following Gabriel's list. All the very best from the Australian Division of the Nightwish Army.
“This band in incredible!” - Indeed! I am so happy you enjoyed Storytime. It is one of my favorite Nightwish songs. Of course, sometimes it seems the current Nightwish song I am listening to at that moment if my favorite. I love ❤️ Nightwish as well. Both the music they create and then perform on their tours and each individual band member for who they are and what they contribute to the band.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army 🙂🤘
From here the rabbit hole gets really really deep and life changing.
and this was 9 years ago and now they still play this and Floor in even better🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
5:02 The look on your face when you hear Floor go into the high harmonies (classical singing) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeaah! If ghost love score is like epic orchestral soundtrack, storytime is one of the most positive of their songs! I love the fairytale lyric of this song! Will be glad to see the next time your react to "Ever dream" or "Romanticide" with great addition Marko's voice and Emppu guitar solos!)
We'll be here for your journey! Following reactors down their own Nightwish rabbit hole *never* gets old.
-NW Army, western NC battalion
Love the production of these live videos! TX to Ville Lipiäinen🤟 and TX to you for following the quest 🌹
Nightwish Army, Texas Regiment, Disabled old Man Company, reporting! This is one of the old, heavy metal, hard rock enthusiast from way back in the mid 1960's, when I would go to my best friends house and listen to The Doors, Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath, then Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, Nazareth, Grand Funk Railroad...etc. Then we would go to Heavy Metal concerts, like Judas Priest, Metallica, Mega Death, top it of with a visit to the Rolling Stones' Voodoo Lounge with 65,000 other people! Besides seeing Nightwish in concert, I still want to see AC/DC in concert before they fade off into the old retirement home for Rock 'N' Roll Royality!!!
Keep up the excellent videos....
Simply and absolutely Amazing song and performance!! The number 3 in My top 10 of Nightwish! Good react again beauty! See you at the next! 🤟🏻🦊🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ey Jynger :D Aint it cool to see people on stage having fun? :D Its so amazing one can not stop smiling
Watching the floorgasm is the best
My favorite song! Usually. Sometimes it's another Nightwish song, when I am listening to that one, but usually it is this one, lol, and this is far and away the best performance of it. It gets better though, because there's so many other fantastic songs by them! Try Everdream next!
You can never go wrong exploring Nightwish, best symphonic metal band ever!!
Thank you !! Can’t wait for the next one , and don’t you dare watch any without us lol we want to see that beautiful big a$$ smile again !!!🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
We know it's alot when The Nightwish Army hits your channel! We're excited for your journey! It's going to get better and better!
The beauty of Nightwish is that no song sounds like the other. I have loved this band since I was a child and still listen to their songs every day and attend their concerts as often as possible.I have never been bored with their music, although I could sing every song in my sleep and know the smallest detail of every video. At Nightwish, the addictive factor is at its absolute high.I wish you from the bottom of my heart that you will feel the same way.🤗
Awesome reaction and comentary!!
Loving that you are enjoying it so much!!
Please next react to: Ever Dream (from Gabriel's list)!!!
She commands an entire army to fight the final boss, great reaction mam.
Subscribed. Gotta love your smile & reactions to the best singer in the world.
Nightwish is such an amazing ride! I'm so glad you're taking the journey. It's so fun to watch people listening for the first time! Thanks for doing this!
FLOORGASMED
Hi, NW army UK here, love your reactions to this amazing band and all the skills they have, can’t wait to see the next reaction, take care 👍🤘
Please keep going you will love it all!
Great reaction ! I never heard of Nightwish until Covid Lockdown, where I started to surf more.... It is clear to me that their Wacken 2013 concert is perhaps the best live performance of this Millennium.
Floor still do windmills 9years after. Just check out this years festivals 😎😋🇧🇻
You love this band…I love this band…we all love this band!! Great reaction! Cant wait till the next one. Keep it up! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Yay...12k congrats my friend!!
Thank you my friend!
i love all three girls u sung for nightwish they r all great ladies who no how too give it all
So many more amazing songs to experience. You have just begun this wonderous journey. I look forward to your next encounter with the the Dutch Valkyrie queen of symphonic metal. See you then JyngerSlapz! Loved it! 💖💖🙏🙏🔥🔥
Now you can understand what love means. Continue the wonderful journey with them and you will feel blessed.!!
Watching your genuine delight and surprise was great. We wouldn't have gotten that had you started making a playlist in advance. It is very genuine this way. As you learn more about the band and their history with their three singers, change in drummer, and loss of their bassist and addition of Troy along the way. You'll then branch off into Floors's solo pieces and other incredible European Symphonic metal music and bands that are just outstanding. As you said, the Nightwish Army will be along for the ride. So Cal foot soldier signing out...for now.
So exciting getting watch Nightwish reactions with you. Look forward to the next one.
Love your reactions. Nightwish is really something else (in a good way of course).
A song i would recomend is "Arch Enemy - Handshake With Hell"
Keep up the good work! :)
Hellyeah...!!! It's story time ❤️❤️❤️🤟🤟
The pure joy written all over your face; had me smiling and feeling extremely happy. Thank you so much, I really needed this. Nightwish is the best at having the perfect song for whatever you need. Amazing reaction.
