Netherlands here. Nightwish is very big in Finland ofcourse, but the south-american Nightwishfans are real fanatics too. You should watch some songs from the decadestour, live in buenos aires 2018
You ask where Nightwish are popular - the quick answer is - worldwide with the exception of of your continent. Whilst there are many fans in the US the band dont fit into the prevailing music scene. They don't do 3 minute songs or use autotune and they are unlikely to get on any radio playlists. Meanwhile they sell out venues throughout east & west Europe, Russia, Japan, Australia & New Zealand, Asia, central America and, especially South America.
Nightwish Army, Dutch division checking in. Tuomas (writer, on keys) does not abide to regular song structures. There is always an unexpected twist whenever you think you know where he is going. And Floor is 1.83 according to her passport. (that is 6ft0 without shoes) With her heels she obviously is a lot taller. Emppu on guitar plays an ESP, Marko on bass plays a Warwick. Marko also plays a wicked double neck.
The structure of most Nightwish songs is complicated. Songwriter and keyboardplayer Tuomas is a poet and his poetry is not only in the lyrics. It's in the music, the instruments, the voice of Floor (/Tarja/Anette) and the structure. It's also in the visuals on stage, the movements of the musicians, the video's. It's in everything you experience. They're telling Tuomas' stories in every possible way. Greetings from Westland, The Netherlands 💙
The ascend/descend Floor did is the metal version of a glissando, going from low to high and back in one breath, something classical singers do for training their voice. Floor is doing this twice a day while brushing her teeth.😀
Massive fan from Melbourne, Australia. They used to come out here regularly, but haven't been for quite some time. I think I've seen them four times. I also ADORE the audience shots. Now do 'Dark Chest of Wonders', the tune they opened the Wacken show with.....
She's 6 foot and 1/25th of an inch, but she wears 4 inch heels on stage so she looks taller than everyone. Marko is 6'1", Tuomas is 6'2 and Emppu is only 5'3" 😁 The second vocalist is Marko, who also sings lead in many of their songs as well as in his own band 'Tarot'. He is known as "The voice of Finland". I'm sure that you'll be hearing more from him. My personal favorite is the bands cover of Pink Floyd's 'High Hopes, where his vocals really shine'. If you want to see Emppu really cut loose on the guitar then you should definitely react to that for sure. Much love from the Nightwish army New York 🤗
I always like it when a newer reactor hits Romanticide. If they follow the usual order, it's usually their first experience with the bassist/male singer, Marko Hietala, who is a phenomenal singer in his own right. All during the Floor/Marko era Nightwish was graced with two of the most talented singers in their field. Both are extremely talented, though their styles are quite different. And, their harmonies are glorious. The glissando that they both do at the end is a good example. The control that they exhibit is so masterful. Floor usually gets noticed more because of how high she can go, but Marko's breath control is equally as notable as he slides up, then down, then, just at the end, starts going up again to meet Floor coming down, all the while the two are managing to stay in harmony. You'll see much more of Marko as you continue your journey as he has a large role in many of their songs, and takes the lead in some. Probably one of the best examples of Marko's ability is the Nightwish cover of the Pink Floyd song "High Hopes" from the End of an Era DVD. Plus, as a guitarist, you will certainly appreciate the solos that the guitarist, Emppu, performs in that song.
👍Nice. There is much to do ,these days,about LIVE concerts (lot of lipsyncing going on) ,everybody knows Nightwish are using "backing recordings" BUT,these are mainly the symphonic orchestral parts and choirs you hear in the background,it really is massive impressive how this band sounds live and they are all ,very skilled musicians/vocalists and Tuomas the keyboard player.is considdered as one of the great composers of our time. These concerts are/were worth every penny that people spend(ed) on it😉🤘
Great reaction, thank you very much. Yes, Nightwish fans really love their band (so do I). I will try to answer some of your questions: 1. I am from Germany. 2. If I remember well Floor is 1,83 m high (without her high heels). 3. The second singer is Marko Hietala, the bassist. He also has a great voice (watch Nightwish "High Hopes" - Pink Floyd tribute, or Nightwish "The Islander" Tampere 2015) and had been the leadsinger of the metal band Tarot. He unfortunately left the band 2021. The third singer and multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley from UK is not on stage during this song. For more heavier metal songs listen to "Yours is an empty hope" Wembley 2015 or "Master Passion Greed" (no live performance). If you love great guitar solos watch Lovebites "Holy War" (they have two lead guitarists and a bassist - two guitar solos and a great guitar duet also including the bassist) ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html. They are a Power/Speed/Trash Metal band from Japan and gorgeous. Also the drummer is pure fire and the leadsinger has a great voice. Nightwish is my No. 1 band and Floor my favourite female singer but this band also is amazing and worth a listening. And like Nightwish they are best live.
I love Nightwish but You have to know that on the concert of Sabaton in Poland in 2012 were about 600 000 people (Woodstock Festival , now it's Pol&Rock Festival)
NW Army, Western Oregon SoggyFootRot Division my favorite part of the glissando up/down is: - Just as Floor gets near the apex of her gliss-up, the sound-board crew kicks an additional delay that's got about a 350 msec interval, and she is able to match her decent that interval in a way that her echoes are in perfect harmony with herself. Kinda like the classic Brian May guitar part in Brighton Rocks. Kinda/sorta/same idea about playing in harmony with yourself. I've heard a few people say she does a perfect gliss all the way up (no pitch breaks) but there is one (maybe two?) where she gracefully skips an interval or two around her passaggio ... but she does it so well (exiting on pitch on a high-mix, and popping right back in head voice about 2 steps higher, right below the apex...she has her tambre set so well you hardly notice the flip to head voice.. Just amazing, that young lady is. Continue on with the enjoyment. - - Blind Doc Jones, Honorary Nightwish Hydration Team Coxswain, General Dentist, Tooth re-implanter, and mosh pit Search And Rescue diver.
Tuomas saw Metallica perform in the US while he was on holiday before he created Nightwish - so they were an influence! Floor is Dutch so her hair-swinging is called a windmill! (see the Metallica concert in Moscow!? 1.6 MILLION in attendance!) Emppu rocks! He can shred - see and hear "Crownless" by Nightwish! Marko on bass and singer - see their Tribute to Pink Floyd in 2004"High Hopes" - Marko sings and Emppu rocks Gilmour!..... Back to this one - Paiste cymbals ad "We survived Jukka Nevalainen, Wacken, 2013!" p.s. Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia.
Greetings from Canada. I saw them in concert here in May 2022. Unfortunately, I missed them at a big festival show here in 2015. Big fan of Nightwish and Floor.
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪. Great reaction 🤘 I have listened to this band from the start with the first lead singer Tarja but when Floor started in the band I love them. She was the perfect match for the band 🖤🤘
Hello ! I like your prof touch when commenting. People all over the world appreciate NW music. Greets from Finland. Take care. btw. here is a new subscriber for you.
Hello, we're from all over the world, here is the Czech unit reporting! I found Nightwish some 6 year ago, never thought there would be such beautifull combination of metal (meh, only some noise and screaming) and classics (good, but too "old, strickt" most of the times)... Nighwish made me a crybaby, and i'm nover more afraid :)
Nightwish Army checking in and subscribed. Great video, USA south east. General Gabriel will drop a post for reactions and history. If you want to see a HUGE crowd, look at Metallica Enter sandman live from Moscow 1991 (early 90s) and the crowd has 1.5 Million people! It’s so big there is a helicopter flying overhead lol
Starting Fans are from Finland like me and like the Band, but then Scandinavia, Central Europe, South America, UK, Asia and last finally USA people have had a chance with RUclips to listen to NW (because USA Radio companies policies want short and easy pop only to be aired). So Global really, but some areas maybe stand out in different continents, then again a single NW fan has already conquered their country for Nightwish :)
Nightwish Army Germany here; if there were Internet on Mars, the little green people would definitely celebrate Nightwish and Floor. There is probably no country on our planet where Nightwish doesn't have its fans.

never heard that number for a live concert ,, Well Search for Metallica in Moscow 1991, about 1.5 million Estimated. Try the song " enter Sandman".Helicopters had to spray water on the crowd for cooling on that hot Summer day.
Ref Metallica ,,Floor and her band opened for Metalica in Holland ,,the surrporting band had to cancell for some reason so Metalica asked Floor to open ,,🤘😎
People like to exaggerate, and make her taller with each comment 😄 She's 183cm / little over 6'. I remember this because I am 185cm, which is 6'1. Saying she is anything over 6' is therefore an exaggeration 😊
82k is pretty number. You're Sabaton fan too, perhaps you want react their songs in 2012 Woodstock Poland. This concert had 600k fans. Uprising and 40:1 are most powerful - history of Poland is sung to the polish people. Estonian NW army unit reporting for duty.
Tuomas likes to keep you guessing when he writes his music but you can garenteed one thing there will be change ups. Marko the bassist will be missed but Jukka the new bassist is doing a pretty good job.
