LOL he mises every time Floors windmill because he is wind milling at the same time :)
Dude, I was thinking the exact same thing
Me too lol. I’m like. Dude. Look at Floor lol
@@medieval1064 And not at The Floor.
I’m sure he sees it while editing though ;)
soulmates
You're shocked at liking their music?!!! Here's me ......... a 57 year old woman who loves middle of the road stuff and classical (from early training). I have not been a fan of opera or metal music .......................... aaaaaaaannnnnnnddd ............................... here we are!!! Lol. Loving watching you loving their music! I am new to them too. Only found them about a month - 6 weeks ago. This is a learning experience for both of us. Keep on doing these, hon. And stay safe and healthy.
I am a 62 year old woman, and i love love nightwish....
Welcome to the Nightwish Army too, Kerri! I'm so happy you had the chance to know them!
Welcome to the Nightwish Army Kerri! It always puts a smile on my face, hearing of someone discovering Nightwish! So, thank you for the smile. :-)
Greetings from Finland & welcome to the global family of Nightwish fans from a 60+ years young Finnish male.
Greetings and welcome, Kerri, great to have you among us!
I'm 36, been a fan since I was 19, seen them live three times and it's wonderful when new people discover this amazing band. They really have been as good as this since since I first saw them at 20 or 21 years old. Always very very tight and great stage presence.
Nightwish hit the jackpot with Floor Jansen. She’s incredible
I guess it goes both ways, Floor also got jackpot. It's like IT was meant to happend She was available as they needed. And she did it on 48 hours thats most amazing thing. Imagine that call she got (something like this)
Nightwish: "Would you like to go world tour with us?"
Floor: "I'm little bit busy now can talk tomorrow?"
Nightwish "Ew... We kind of need you to Be in USA soon"
Floor: "When?"
Nightwish: "Could you Please learn Setlist in 48 hours? Our next show begings then...."
also a nice moment from Tuomas: Tell me something about out latest album floor.... "yes!"............. nevermind.......
Tarja was a great and original singer...love her, too💙🇫🇮
@@marinak7483 I also still love her, but honestly... i think the best answer to the question "Who's the best Nightwish singer?" i've seen was "Marco."
@@ingrudmessenger1193 Yes, Floor and Marco are great singers. I don't like to compare, both Tarja and Floor are the best in their unic ways💙
There is a documentary where they show that Floor had to learn song list in 48 hours. She is a beast
Watching it today!
I’ve watched it 100 times already 😂
I was at that Infamous show in Denver when Elize and Alyssa took over. What an incredible show that was.
@@TankTheTech there is a live version of ghost love score recorded about 3 weeks after she joined the band live at Buenos Aires in 2012 ruclips.net/video/3brcfttchzA/видео.html you wouldnt know she had only been with them for 3 weeks
@@TankTheTech Please give us your reaction, ie a synopsis to this as well.
"God created music and said it was good....."
"Then he created Nightwish and he smiled for it was great....."
"Then God created Floor Jansen and he dropped the mic...."
"For he had created Perfection"
YOURS IS AN EMPTY HOPE
I'd have to second that, seems like a good time for it next. Mix up the upbeat stuff with the gritty stuff for max shock and awe value xD
This first of everything else.
I agree growl growl growl :-)
That song and romanticide should be the 2 next
Song of myself is also a contender 👌🏼
Song of Myself is a must!!!!! My favorite!!!! The change up is sick!
Yeah and Jukka is just universe level
Hands down my fav too, and that was even before I realized how the lyrics actually incorporate other songs titles in it, just another example of how GENIUSSSS THIS MAN IS!!! That blew me away to hear!!! And like u said.. jukka.. never heard anything like it, I still miss him despite Kai also being incredible!!
Darn yeah that is my favorite too along side Alpenglow, I can never decided between them
My recommendation: Weak Fantasy. Such a powerful song
Tampere
Yes! Seconded. I'm very much looking forward to see Tank's reaction on that production. Wacken was a nice little setup compared to that 🔥
Ja Tampere!!
I support this suggestion!
When they (media) asked Tuomas how he feels about having Floor as their new singer he said: "Floor is home." That says it all. She had also been in 2 other bands before Nightwish. After Forever and Re-Vamp. Nightwish knew her from festivals. They called Floor (on her sister's wedding day) if she wanted to fly to the USA and learn their setlist in 2 days so she could perform with them cause Annette fell ill during their world tour. I think the choice was easy when Annette left for good.
Was it an illness? Always different stories I hear come out of the "Denver Debacle" when Annette left.
@@sniperbob1992 I think she got ill in the US and had to go to the hospital. But I also heard she had a hard time combining being a mom with touring. So might've been both.
@@sniperbob1992 in the documentary "Please Learn The Setlist in 48hrs" they mention there was a flu going around the band. Anette came down with it to the the point they had to get a cover singer and had 2 girls from camelot fill in as the venue was already open and fans were waiting. Tuomas and Troy went out and told the fans they would either have to cancel the show or they could get a stand in. The fans were fine with stand ins and they went on with the show the best they could. I think Anette leaving was mutual but i do think her being hospitalized was part of the reason she left offically during that tour. Tuomas called Floor soon after and asked her if she could learn the setlist in 48hrs and go to Seattle, WA.
You want to make a left turn at this point, Seven Days to the Wolves from Wembley. I was late to the game on that one and it has very quietly (or not so quietly) become my favorite NW performance.
"Yes, my Queen, tell me a story" 😂😂😂. If you want to take that left turn, react to their Weak Fantasy live from Tampere - some cool drums and both Marco and Floor's vocals. In case at some point taking a break from Nightwish (not that we want you to, but if/when that happens), may I suggest another amazing Finnish metal band: Wintersun. E.g song Sons of Winter and Stars, live studio rehearsal. I think you'll really enjoy that one!
I was just about to suggest weak fantasy!
Wintersun is fenomenal. One of a kind band. Definitely on point recommendation.
Wintersun, yes! Live rehearsals sonic pump studios.
Now it's time to go on "I want my tears back", Buenos Aires 2019 to meet Troy
I think Wacken is better. Idk, Floor’s talking/yelling during the song is pretty annoying to me 🤷🏽♀️
@@lilo5437 but she is so cute 😍
The audience interaction with the band and Floor dancing around on stage made Buenos Aires my fav of this song!
The two songs where Tuomas shines the most are 'Shudder Before the Beautiful' live at Wembly, and 'The Greatest Show on Earth' live at Tampere and Wembly. (First Timers to TGSOE should start with the Tampere show for the fire presentation, but should then catch the Wembly next for the performance, and the special guest they bring on stage at the end for the reading)
As for your "Poet and the pendulum" and "greatest show on earth" disclaimer....yes do indeed get to know the band first, especially with poet, as it''s, lyrically, a VERY deep and personal song for the band, so for that one especially, familiarize yourself with the lyrics and the story behind them, and perhaps even some of thier Tarja stuff(see previous suggestion) as the lyrics relate to thier separation from Tarja, and you enjoy seeing the "chemistry" among nightwish.
Greatest show on earth is amazing increíble!!
Ghost River Wacken 2013
Agreed
Song of myself or ever dream....
"Weak Fantasy" has to go onto your list is you want to stray slightly off the beaten path of the "most popular songs." More Marko and Troy also playing in this one. Make it part of your journey before Poet and the Pendulum and Greatest Show on Earth.
I'm hoping last ride of the day. Or dark chest of wonders. But I'm honestly just happy the thumbnail is Jukka. Lol
I think that Floor, who only had 48 hours to learn the songs before going on stage, she has revitalized a band that has been together a long time, love them.
Let him see how floor is growl ? „Yours is an empty hope“ ? What do you guy‘s think ? To early ?
no he should experience all her capabilities
Was going to recommend that one !
Yes, this should be next !
YES! Yours Is an Empty Hope, and Ghost River would be my next suggestions. Song of Myself is one of my all-time favorites, but I agree that it's a frequent (and well-deserved) early pick.
@@hannesfeierabend1515 In that case he should also react, or at least wtch, Floor performing in "Beste Zangers Seizpen 2019" here on RUclips. ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=beste+zangers+floor+2019 Choose the ones with her name Floor Jansen on the picture.
I Want My Tears back, because it's got a great Celtic Folk sound that makes Floor dance, and who doesn't want to see that.
Wanna hear Floor (just a little) in another setting? "The Source" is the 9th studio album from Ayreon, a progressive metal/rock opera project by Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen, released on April 28, 2017. "The Day The World Breaks Down" is a song that features all 11 (well known) main guest singers [James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot, Seventh Wonder), Tommy Rogers (Between the Buried and Me) , Simone Simons (Epica), Nils K. Rue (Pagan's Mind), Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Mike Mills (ToeHider), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus), Floor Jansen (Nightwish)] and is taken from that album. Arjen himself is telling (in subtitles) who the singers are and which instrument are used and by what standards.
Btw. The clip is 13 min. Long and I think you won’t regret it !!
Official (Arjen’s) clip: ruclips.net/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/видео.html
The thing I love about nightwish with Floor is that they play and exude absolute joy. No matter how dark the music can get, and it really can, there is an element of joy in how they play together and that you know that they wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Its unique.
I was a touring musician for years and NEVER seen a band as into what they are doing, and genuinely wanting to share that vibe with the while crowd.
I can’t wait 😁
FYI two under appreciated songs to keep in mind are Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembly (opening number, tons of energy, amazing production) and Stargazers live at Tampere (see above 😜)
I’ll be starting my day at work when this premieres, but I’ll certainly enjoy it on my lunch break 👍
Have an amazing day 🤘😎
Two from the Buenos Aires show:
Slaying the Dreamer
Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean
Great job BTW, don't change a thing. I'm actually much more intetested in seeing your reaction to the tour documentary about Nightwish flying Floor from Holland to Seattle on 48 hrs notice to replace their 2nd singer. It's called Learn The Setlist In 24 Hours. Tons of tour moments, soundcheck footage, roadie/tech interviews...
"They look like they're having so much fun"
That's why I live Nightwish so much. They really enjoy what they are doing.
Yours is an Empty Hope...live at Wembley!!!
They're something else. It's like I went along for decades not knowing there was a NightWish-shaped hole in the sum of what I love and then they filled it. Amazing!
Every song from this concert is a winner, pick any song from this show, you'll love it
Tuomas did say about Floor in the band: "She's at home."
Great reaction Mr. Tank, loved it.
I love them all. Islander, Song Of Myself, I Want My Tears Back, The Greatest Show On Earth, While Your Lips Are Still Red, Hows The heart, Ever Dream and so many more!
"Welling up.."
You're right, dude. Every time. There is so much phenomenal energy in these performances.
Welcome to Nightwish brother.
FLOOR can make your eyes water, it's unreal, she starts singing and my eyes start watering. Don't know why, it just does. It's like a special gift or something.
Floor's range is truly unbelievable. she is the perfect mix of what their former singers brought to the table and soo much more.
You should definitely check out Floor sing Phantom of the Opera with Hank in a show called Beste Zengers.
It was cute when Marko introduced Floor to the Wacken audience
I saw them live as a support for the German band Rage, and after the show I let tarja kissing the CD covers from angels fall first and oceanborn, you can still see her lipstick and her sign today over 20 years later.
One thing that would be a LOT of work, but awesome to watch, was if you would watch 1 song sung by all 3 vocalists Nightwish have had. Not to compare them, but to see what you think of them, as it will more or less be 3 different versions of the song.
One of the songs I know there are good quality of on RUclips is "Sleeping Sun", my favourite Nightwish balad. And it is SO different how the 3 singers sing it. I can't even choose my absolute favourite myself.
Dude. next react to Nightwish: Weak fantasy Live at Tampere, or Yours is an empty hope live at Wembly!!!
Both are heavy and right up your ally... cue the words on weak fantasy (both need to be live) as they are a powerful statement.
Based on Jukka's position on the drums, I'm guessing Storytime or Ever Dream hahaha.
That’s if I used the same picture from the same song. 😎
@@TankTheTech Ahh man that's tricky 😂
TankTheTech If you‘re looking for different shots, have a look at your instagram mailbox 🤘😎
@@TankTheTech What band are you the Roadie for?
@@user-yy7tw9hv9n Faith No More, Walk Off the Earth, Nickelback and more. Here he mentioned some of the bands he worked with ruclips.net/video/M9btbfZg2sc/видео.html
Sharing the same journey as you dude and your reaction is like a mirror of my own. The band is so, so good. I'm devastated Marco has left the band ........ I really need to see them all live.
I love that this song wasn’t even written for her and she ELEVATES it with her powerful vocals!
I did hear Kai tell in a interview somewhere that of all the song, the middle drum part of this song was the hardest to get perfect when he became the drummer and was practicing the songs.. (he knew most already because he already was a drum tech with them for a long time)
Tank when this whole covid is over, go see Nightwish. They are incredible and they usually play small venues. They are America's best kept hard rock secret.
Pity their new (now postponed) tour has only an alibi US leg - LA, NY and one new date at Lowell MA (why ever there) - with the anouncement that that's it for at least 2021...
The last tours like you said each visited a fair number of cities everywhere across the US. Strange.
When it comes to Nightwish, being speechless is considered a valid reaction. I've watched reactors sit weeping on camera for 5 minutes after Poet and the Pendulum. I can't wait to see your reaction to it. Be safe and keep rockin' brother.
I also waited wayyyy too long to check out Nightwish. For whatever reason, I just didn't think symphonic metal was for me. But then I got into Nightwish with Floor, then older Nightwish, then Epica, then Kamelot... It's just great music!
As senior guy (41) living in Germany, I must admit that yes.. I saw Nightwish live... (Summerbreeze multiple times).. but this wacken Show... yeah.. there is some reason for taking this live version for DVD.. awesome performance.. you said
phenomenonal.. you are quite right :) And yeay.. Flore is awesome on this one :)
You say you would think she is an original cast member... You have not yet heard any songs that was actually specifically written for her voice! Just wait, the journey has just started!
#WeWereHere
I really like the driven, fast-paced nature of this song. Probably my favorite Nightwish song I've heard so far!
First and foremost, I’m definitely listening to this regardless of the song. Second and lessermost, I’ve gotta add my voice to those requesting “Yours Is an Empty Hope” at Wembley. You just really should see it.
I am DEFINITELY going to be getting to a lot of Nightwish songs, and that one is for sure on the list. My channel is still under a month old from my first upload, so it might take a little time, but more Nightwish is coming for sure!
@@TankTheTech To add incentive for 'Yours is an Empty Hope', Floor sings the guttural tones in the Chorus. So, it's pretty special to experience another side of her vocal talent.
Oh man, that got my attention. Hahaha
@@TankTheTech yeah believe it or not she can also growl. Honestly, she is the GOAT. If you haven't watched the "Learn the set list in 48 hours" documentary on them you should. The wacken stuff was her first tour with the band when the singer they had before her ditched them.
Same here on the “never thought I would like this kind of metal with that operatic voice”. Now I can’t get enough. It’s crazy how addictive they are.
The amazing part about the whole Wacken 2013 show is Floor only had about 6 months to learn All of these songs and she did it all while finishing out the Imaginerium Tour. I was at the show in Denver the night Anette left the band. That night all the vocals where sung by Elize Ryd (Amaranthe/Kamelot) and backed by Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy/Kamelot). The next show in WA they had Floor on set.
I have been binge-watching them for 2 months now. I found them purely by accident, and now? I can not get enough!! Tuomas has a wicked smile, and his mind is pure genius! Marco and Floor together are amazing! Troy the multi-instrumentalist and vocals is amazing. Both drummers, Jukka and Kai, are OUTSTANDING, and Empuu can rock out some power riffs. Bucket Wish Concert!!
I want my tears back, shows another playfull site from Nightwish. You can see how much fun they have! And a great introduction of Troy, our multi talent. That's my suggestion for a next song.
you need to listen " the greatest show on earth" its an entire experience. its 20 minutes of heaven, hell and science. you will see
Gonna hold off on that one for a while. Only reason being is that a lot of the Nightwish Army has told me to hear more of their sound and know a little more of the history and background before I get to it. But trust me, I'll get their eventually!
@@TankTheTech Yes it's way to early in your NW journey to tackle either TPatP or TGSoE. You should at least get a dozen more other NW songs under your belt, before reacting to either of those.
TankTheTech Good choice. TGSOE is one of the big three along with ”Ghost Love Score” and ”The Poet and the Pendelum”. You need to know background on the last one aswell. For TGSOE you should always pick the Tampere version. There is one with lyrics. It’s their most expensive performance to date. The song is about evolution. From the Big Bang until the end of mankind. It is beautifully narrated by Richard Dawkins (one of Tuomas heroes). The song shares it’s title with a book by Dawkins. Tuomas has studied biology and science. His other heroes are Charles Darwin, Carl Sagan and Eugene Shoemaker. The entire album ”Endless Forms Most Beautiful” is a concept album about evolution, with TGSOE his most advanced composition yet. Their new album ”Human. :|: Nature.” is like a sequel to EFMB and is a concept album about humans and our planet. Both albums are very cinematic and has elements of celtic folk music (Hey Troy!). But you should begin with the songs from Wacken.
@@TankTheTech Yessir good man on holding off, TGSOE and Poet & the Pendulum are like the peak culmination / core heart of the band and therefore of us, The Army, as well. Much research and experiencing their other stuff is required first xD
Also fair warning, back to the whole "rockin" bit. While both these masterpieces absolutely do have very heavy melt-your-face-off sections...if you miss the lyrics you miss the experience, if you miss the background research you miss the experience, if you don't go into them like you're watching a movie instead of a "song," you miss the experience. No pressure :D
Tampere version is much better!
Wet eyes are the standard with this lineup...im pretty new to these guys ad well, but i think this is possibly my favorite band of all time. I've never experienced another act that makes my body do stuff ( wet eyes, goosebumps) that I didn't ask it to do... lol
And she was so exited!/ 3 little gigs in America and then WACKEN!+ almost 48h to prepare... for the rest!
The poet an the pendulum...and greatest show on earth are masterpieces, music class!!. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Real talk - as someone who's life is essentially music, whats it like discovering all this new stuff that you vibe with out of nowhere
It’s honestly crazy. I think I’ve spent so much time touring and working for bands that I’ve been so focused on the music I NEEDED to know, that I haven’t taken the time to discover new bands. A lot of the music I’ve been listening to is stuff I discovered from like age 12-24, and nothing new since then. It’s really blowing my mind that there is SO MUCH music to discover. I love it.
@@TankTheTech same. reviews/reactions have actually led me to discovering a lot of bands in the last couple years. UTA, eskimo Callboy, Motionless in White etc. At some point when radio went away I just sort of started to ignore music I think.
I can’t even tell you the last time I attempted to listen to the radio. Early/Mid 2000’s, maybe? I’ve been making my own playlists since I first got an iPod. Might be why I haven’t discovered anything new. Hahaha
@@TankTheTech Nah man, even if you had been listening to the radio this whole time, you still wouldn't have heard anything new...radio is where trash music goes to die and get rerun for two decades a pop >_>
@@TankTheTech I'm in my early 50s. RUclips helps me discover new bands weekly. Nightwish helped me rediscover my love of Metal.
7 Days to the Wolves or Yours is an empty hope
Floor joined nightwish right at the end of her recovery from a burn out with her own bands. She is so amazing and suits this style perfectly. I would really love to see them live.
*one of the most special things about Nightwish are these first time reaction videos* looking forward to Song Of Myself next!!
Last ride of the day from the same show
it is such an underrated and underplayed song
but imho probably the best song to end a show on
since Iron Maiden - Run to the hills
In my opinion next after Storytime should be: Ever Dream / but it’s also ok to do it at a later time.... thx for your awesome reaction. You are really in... and now in the line to enjoy these phenomenal music...😎👍
My 3rd song with your Nightwish adventure! Ok thats my Favorite so far!!! Dark and catchy!! I have it STUCK in my head!!! Im just totally crushing on this Dark Metal Goddess!!!
I discovered Nightwish in the same tour in 2013 in a festival, i had never heard of them before, you can't imagine the blast it was..lol...i'm totally hooked since..I need to say, this whole wacken show is phenomenal..maybe one of the best ever recorded...the best way to really appreciate it is to listen to it since the start till the end, on a big screen, with big sound and with some good whisky near the hand.. Cheers mate ! ;-)
This was a great show. Thanks for bringing the memories back.
I’m a whole year late bc I’m new in the Army as well. It’s like: a whole newwww woooooorld
I'm so glad you love this band as much as we do! I, too, only discovered them about a year ago, and I was hooked from the first song. They're all incredibly talented. Can't wait to see where you go next! Keep 'em coming!
I could see you starting to well up & it made me a lil teary too. It's such a joy to watch you react with such enthusiasm & willingness to learn about Nightwish. Nightwish have changed my life for the better on so many levels & I hope they do the same for you. Looking forward to seeing your adventure down the rabbit hole. Welcome to the army. 💚✌
She was just hired to finish the tour. But afterwards both her and Troy the multiplayer became full members
I could be wrong, but I think it was just before this Wacken show NW asked her and Troy to join the band full time. But they weren't allowed to talk about it until they did a press release.
@@dhaxgaming4488 that's not impossible. I don't know. Maybe they did tell them. But imagine how hard it must have been for them to hold on that secret since it was still a long way to go on this tour. Pokerface Deluxe. Hahahahaha
@@ANDZIGCREAM Yes they were asked to join NW at the band meeting before the show . it made perfect sense they were on top of their game and were recording the show for the dvd bluray plus they have become real friends and it just felt right . I mean the fans have embraced her and fell in love there was no going back .
the show was 3rd of august they had only two more shows to play before the end of the tour so the timing was perfect to tell them especially since that would make for even better energy for the dvd recording . the tour ended on august 11 so they only had to do a couple interviews and dodge the obvious questions . then in the following weeks
after they have done alle the paperwork and the boring legal stuff
they made it public on facebook and nuclear blast records on o 9th of october .
and that post generated A LOT OF HYPE which was perfect because the dvd bluray combo dropped november 29
just in time for christmas shopping . i would say they had the perfect timing for everything
Missed the premiere with live chat, stuck at work lol. Are you gonna go through the Wacken concert before delving to their other live shows? If yes, I'm gonna suggest Ghost River next. It has classic 80s metal sound to it.
I’ll most likely wind up doing every song in this show. Haha
Another great reaction!
Can't wait for more.
Best is stil to come.
Nightwish 👍😁😀
She is back on STAGE!!!
Already missin me some Tank Nightwish Reactions here. Bring me more NW, Tank!...
Must...have...MORE!! 🎶💀🔥
Coming soon! Probably gonna do another one in the next few days. Gotta mix it up here and there. Haha
Storytime is probably, in a very positive way, their most catchy song, together with Ever Dream.
A nice contrast for the next reaction would be „Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean“ from Buenos Aires or „Yours an Empty Hope“ from Wembley.
If you like an extraordinary great song that isn‘t reacted to as much as deserved: „Weak Fantasy“ from Tampere
For me, NW's most catchy song is "Nemo" but "Storytime" has an amazing drive. Just makes you want to bang your head from start to finish. A different dynamic have folk influenced songs like "I Want My Tears Back" or "My Walden" which just make me wanna dance like crazy.
It is a pleasure to follow your reactions. You love music and now Nightwish too. We have a common object of love.
Thank you!
One of the finest reactions I have ever seen. Brought tears to my eyes. I just got home from the hospital after having a heart attack. Number one priority was listen to Nightwish. Beyond phenomenal.
I hope you're alright, man!
@@TankTheTech I was having the heart attack for 7 hours before they could operate on me. I shouldn't be here but I made it. I have some problems but will probably be OK. Listening to Nightwish reactions give me strength because of their music. I love it so much I couldn't leave just yet. Seeing them live is at the very top of my bucket list.
It would be awesome if you reacted to “Yours is an empty hope”, live at Wembley. You gotta hear Floor growling ☺️ It’s my favourite.
If you want to turn somewhere else, listen to "The Islander" at Tampere 2015. There's a song that is Marko's handwriting instead of Tuomas'. And yes, Marko sings the lead.
lol "yes, tell me a story my queen" is exactly how I feel every time I see Floor on the screen
Blown away by this performance, and to realize she'd only been with the band a short time doesn't come through. She definitely looks like she's been there forever because she just killed it there!
Song of myself
“5:45 I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of other bands rock with each other… like this .” 6:12 Enter Tuomas, 6:23 enter Jukka, 6:42 enter Marco and Emppu, 6:53 start tears and goosies, enter Floor the Queen……. You’re prescient!!
I'm really enjoying eavesdropping on your Nightwish journey! Your comments about the band's chemistry. the incredible musicianship, and the technical excellence of all aspects of the performance are spot on (I particularly like your expert insights on things like how the sound is engineered for each instrument's tonal quality). Nightwish members (all of them) have reached a point where they no longer have to consciously think about how to play their instruments (where and how to place their fingers, etc.) - for each of them the instrument is an extension of their body and THAT'S when truly great music happens and when the real joy and fun on stage begins. This joy and energy just explodes off the stage with Nightwish and the audience reflects it right back to them - and then Nightwish amplifies it and gives it back to the audience - and that cycle just repeats over and over again. Man, I really want to go to one of their concerts.
I CAN NOT WAIT to see these guys on concert. I honestly want to make a trip to Europe and see them over there rather than here, because I feel like the crowds would be a lot better. Last time I saw they were touring here they were doing clubs and small theaters, and I feel like that is NOT the environment that this band needs to be in.
@@TankTheTech Yes! A show in Europe would definitely be the way to go. It has been amazing to me that they never seemed to catch on in America, even though they have toured here. I didn't even know the band existed until I just stumbled across a video on RUclips a year or so ago and, like you, was immediately hooked.
Their songs make you feel pumped & alive like a viking about to go into battle!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Here is a random suggestion from honestly a nobody as far as Nightwish Creds goes but for another “left turn at Albuquerque” moment consider reaching back in the archives and pulling up their live cover of Pink Floyd’s “High hopes” I think you will gain an appreciation of Marko’s vocal prowess that might give you an appreciation of his skill before some of the other heavyweight performances of his yet to come for you. PEACE!☮️✝️💟
The entire Wacken show from that year is fantastic, one of those "i wish i was there" moments. Floor wasn't even officially the new singer of Nightwish at this time, she only joined as a replacement for Annette during the rest of the tour about 6 months before this. I say officially, but the fact that they decided to film it probably hints at it was decided, just not made public. Since you seams to like Nightwish quite a lot, you might want to check out the documentary "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours", it tells the story of the time around Anettes dismissal and Floor joining (even if it's a little weird in the editing since Anette refused to be in the documentary). And yes, the title is quite litteraly what Tuomas (i think it was him) told Floor when she was rushed in to her first show with Nightwish.
I'm actually just about it finish it!
@@TankTheTech im happy you did that.
ALSO wery cool fact about this group: now that covid made all NW techs lose jobs on tours that were planned, NW really supported them big time, see: nightwish.com/news/crewish-unemployed-blacksmiths-announced
You said it, her voice is the hilight, but when you dig a little bit further, you notice the talent of the whole band, the chemistry between them, the fun they have on stage... Nice reaction !!
You're about a week behind me and your reactions reflect mine. They're amazing and my favourite band now.
A must "Last Ride of the Day"
Powerwolf, Brothers of Metal, Krypteria, Xandria, Stream of Passion, Epica, Within Temptation, Ancient Bards, Blind Guardian, Suidakra, Seven Kingdoms, Unleash the Archers, Orden Ogan, Sabaton, Amberian Dawn, and Lordi.
...There you go, now you have the master list of non-Nightwish filler bands to last you the rest of the year. :D
Don't let the word "filler" fool you either, every one of those bands is legit in their own right. I think off the top of my head maybe only like...one or two of those are American based? Either way, it's all stuff you'll never hear elsewhere if you don't react to it yourself here. Lookin forward to the journey man 🤘
Edit: most all of those also have little to no other reaction coverage either, so that's a bonus ;-)
Yes! Thanks for that list. Some bands on there I already know I want to react to, and I’ve only heard of a couple of them. Did an Unleash The Archers video yesterday, and believe it or not, I’ve known about and listened to Lordi for quite a while now. Haha.
Can’t tell you how much it pleases me, that you have Dimmu Borgir running in the background, while you did your review! Progenies of the great apocalypse is a personal favourite. Love your reactions man!
Thanks! Love Dimmu!
I loved Nightwish when Tara was the singer, I wandered away/took the wrong turn/got distracted by something shiny, when Annette took lead (she is a good singer but....), and then when I heard Floor in GLS, I tripped over myself racing back to a beloved band, that I misplaced for a bit. So I enjoy watching others discover this amazing band.
Hi Tank when you get around to doing Poet and the Pendulum, do some research find out what the song is all about, this is a very personal song by Tuomas, very emotional once you know what what it's about
I still waitin for rammstein - sonne live 2019 reaction on thier new stage :D
I really dig your comments on the production aspects of these videos. It's stuff I normally don't pick out specifically - it really makes me appreciate the videos all the more. But DAMN - enjoy Nightwish.
Dark Chest of Wonders live at Wacken 2013! Another epic tune from Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen!
Ghost river or Storytime
Wacken Open Air......I'm going to guess either 'I Want my Tears Back' or 'Song of Myself'.
or Ghost River
Pretty sure it's storytime. I participated in the poll.
@@mangalover0149 I did as well, and Ghost River was on there, but I forgot Storytime was too, and I believe it was taking a lead at the time I cast my vote, so I believe you are right.
I saw the poll before it was taken down. First was Storytime and Song of Myself was a close second. He was debating which one he might do in the comments though.
Amazing reaction!! I think the reason these reactions are so satisfying is because it reminds many of us of the journey we all took. Can't ever go back, but you can watch someone else experience the roller-coaster. Enjoy the rabbit hole my friend!
Tank, I want you to know that your reactions give me so much joy! I was just like you when I first heard Nightwish....
Blown away. Keep bringing the joy brother!
Thanks a ton, Brian!
