I kept thinking oh you kinda like her voice? Buckle up sweetheart you're about to get kicked in the chest. Floor is over on the stage like... this isn't even my final form.
"Is this outside?" :O Yes, legends tell of a wondrous place known as the great outdoors, where there are trees and flowers, and you can see the sun in all its majesty ;)
Floorgasms galore with Nightwish with Floor Jansen! You NEED to do Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum Live! It is Epic and takes you through so many emotions -- like watching a whole beautiful movie!
Yes! But make sure you get one of Floor Jansen's live versions from 2015/2016. Most people recommend the one at Wembley 2015. (Many reactors report having copyright issues from RUclips on this one, and so you may have to put a few pauses or breaks in it to get it through.)
Wacken 2013 starring Nightwish and co-starring the 80,000 is..wow!! The energy this band always creates with their crowd connection is incredible!! Get on the Nightwish express. It takes you away. You don’t know where they’ll take you but you know it going to be friggin’ epic every time . Sensory overload….and Floorgasms..NW style!!
Wacken is currently considered the biggest purely metal festival in the world. Visitors from 80 nations. 80,000 people plus personnel. Takes place in the small village of Wacken, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Hamburg. Lasts four days and has been sold out for 15 years in a row. Last year there were 197 bands on nine stages. Nightwish themselves have been around since 1996, Floor Jansen is the third singer, following Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon (who was unloved by quite a few fans). Floor's vocal range is officially C3 - F6 iirc.
Nightwish the greatest band in the world! Floor is the best female singer on the planet. You can watch anything from this live show as its perfection! 🤘
I have to say this was the most enjoyable reaction video of the Ghost Love Score ever! You were so into it. I guess that all this was pretty new and exciting to you: this musical genre (symphonic metal) and all this crazy crowd surfing... 😂🤘😝 Glad that you liked what you heard and saw. Nightwish is pretty special band and it's founder/keyboardist/song writer, Tuomas Holopainen (Finnish), is a real musical genius. I wish you do more Nightwish in the future. It will surprises you every single time, I promise you that!
@@nighthunter3039 yes...to me also... they are truly épico and emotional...the guy was clearly crying...we ve seen that só many Times with this band s shows
Well, you did it, you awakened the Nightwish YT Army =) If you want more Nightwish, there are two paths I would suggest, and that all depends on when you want to hit the "holy trinity." The holy trinity, is Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken 2013 (what you just watched, which is a great introduction), Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley, and Greatest Show on Earth Live at Tampere. These three are the reason that I consider Floor Jansen (the current singer) to be one of the best female singers in the world and why I consider Tuomas (the pianist and composer) to be one of the best modern composers. However, they are a lot to take in: Greatest Show on Earth is a massive 20+ minute long magnum opus telling the history of life on planet Earth and Poet and the Pendulum is probably one of the biggest emotional roller coasters I've ever experienced in any form of music (it's the most personal song Tuomas has ever written, being a way to get himself out of a really dark place by expressing all the despair that was inside of him, and then in the end being "resurrected"). I would say if you want to go directly for the other two of the trinity, it is a great way to experience Nightwish, however, if you do, I would suggest looking up the full backstory on Poet and the Pendulum, as it's incredibly well documented online and I think the song hits harder that way (I only gave you the briefest, most barebone summaries). The other path is more gradual, hitting a few great but shorter songs before heading for the other two of the trinity. I would say you would have fun with Everdream, Live at Wacken 2013; Storytime, Live at Wacken 2013; Phantom of the Opera, End of an Era 2005 (with their original singer, Tarja); Alpenglow, Live at Wembley; Romanticide, Live at Wacken 2013; and The Islander, Live at Tampere (this has much more focus on Marco, their bassist/second vocalist that looks like a viking). I realize now though that giving you so many options may be a bit much (sorry lol!). I would say then, if you want to experience the high points of Nightwish, then Poet and the Pendulum. If you want a more gradual pace, try Everdream. Either way, to paraphrase a Kevin Costner film, "If you [react to Nightwish], they will come."
Also, since I was rude and didn't mention this in my original comment (Sorry, I enjoy giving recommendations for one of my favorite bands, forgive me): this reaction was super fun and your cute little reaction cartoons were a very nice touch. It's always nice when a reactor puts something a bit extra into their videos to make it a bit more expressive of their personality. =)
A new Nightwish reactor and what a sweetheart she is!! Now you have opened the door for us Nightwish devotees and on behalf of us all I'd like to welcome you to the wonderful versatile world of Nightwish. All the people commenting before and after me surely will fill you in on the band's history and bombard you with requests. I'm looking very much forward to this. Such a lovely person like you deserves many subscribers; I will add mine as well.
Welcome to the tsunami of Nightwish fans. You will be hit with requests for every Nightwish song imaginable. Do yourself a favor, and react to them all. You'll not regret it, and we'll be here for it. The only thing that needs to be known: Most singers sing what they can. Floor sings whatever she wants.
Well, "Ghost love score" was your boarding pass to the Nighwish world. Floor Jansen is one of the best modern time vocalist and there is old saying in the jungle; " Floor changes from low note to high note and back faster than tigers attacks!" If you check more songs from Nighwish, you will found also other genres like rock, ballads,folk, etc...And sometimes all same song, there is lot of levels on many songs of Nightwish and you will never know where song takes you when listening first time. Also lyrics of songs are sometimes quite extra ordinary. And one thing more: Nightwish is live band, even better on live than on record.
Watching people react to this performance has become an Olympic sport to me haha. Glad you enjoyed it! I don’t even need to read the comments to know exactly what song is being most heavily recommended next. So buckle up, grab a box of tissues and do Poet and the Pendulum.... cause you ain’t seem nothing yet! 🤘🤘
Petru Brandusa Totally. Then you get the occasional groan when the person reacting is watching the “wrong one” from Argentina rofl. Still a great performance of course, but this one is just bonkers.
Really enjoyed your reaction :) And I have a little explanation for the guy rubbing his eyes. He is not bored. Not even tired. Ok, I don't know that, but it's not the reason. This performance was taken on the Wacken Festival with over 80.000 visitors. I've been there a few times in the years before. If it is sunny all day, the ground beneath all these feet gets very dry and there is lot of dust raising even after dusk. If you look closely he licks his hand before he rubs his eyes. This poor guy very likely hasn't seen any water for a few hours and his eyes are constantly under a layer of fine dust, dried out and itching like hell. What he does gives a little relief for a few minutes. I have done that a few times myself on such festival days, that's how I know :D
Hey there, I think I've watched 15-20 reactions (yea, a bit of a nerd and a big Nightwish fan 😂 ) to this Nightwish performance and yours is just the cutest 😍😁
This was the opener to the biggest Heavy Metal festival in the world, which to this day takes place in a small town in Germany, called Wacken. While the population of Wacken is less than 2,000 people, there were more than 85,000 people in the audience just at this show. Wacken 2023 was sold out after only 5 hours.
You like intense? Then this is the perfect song for you. Nightwish - Shudder Before The Beautiful (Live @Wembley Arena) Also another great example of Floors awesome stage presence.
This never gets old....Juuka grooving on his TAMA set, Emmpu riffing on his ESP, Marco giving us those amazing base line on his Warwick Bazzard, Tuomas dishing out his genius on his KORGs and Foor (oh floor) mezmerizing the crowds like a modern day Valkyrie. Every single one of these musicians is at the top of the talent tree. Perfection.
That average height of women in The Netherlands. I'm Dutch btw, my father in the other hand you ppl might call he's a giant😂😂😂😂 im 1.98 meters tall which is 6'6 in foot and inches but my dad is 2.11 meters tall in calculated in foot and inches is 6'11, however i had a guy form my class in The Netherlands who was slightly taller then my dad... in The Netherlands ppl know we are tall but i also see lots of ppl in The Netherlands who reaches these heights as well sooo this tallness is becoming more and more common.
Great reaction! I just saw your video in my recomendations and really enjoyed it. I'm going to check them all out now. It's funny when you said she's pretty I was thinking the same of you. Great video keep it up.
if you wish to react to more of them i suggest Everdream, Storytime, Song of Myself. One the heavier side there's Ghost River and Romanticide. All of these from the same concert as this reaction (Wacken 2013)
Oh, yeah. Always love to see a Nightwish virgin being indoctrinated into the tribe. We tend to be a hard-core bunch. Nightwish is notorious for changing keys, tempos, rhythms within a song. The keyboardist, Toumas, writes and composes most of the music, the bassist, Marco, also sings and has a great voice. He has a band, Tarot, where he is the primary vocalist. Floor can change singing styles from one note to another. Growls, operatic, angelic, all in the same sentence.
I only recently discovered Nightwish for myself and this, is THE SONG that got me hooked. She hits that high sustained octave near the end and my jaw about hit the floor (no pun intended). Welcome, sister, to the sheer epic awesomeness that is Nightwish. Though, I have Patty Gurdy, formerly of Storm Seeker and her solo rendition of Over the Hills and Far Away, also covered by Nightwish, to thank.
12:26.... No, girl....he's crying. Very common at a Nightwish concert tbh. Tuomas (keyboardist) writes 97% of all Nightwish songs and he really knows how to move you emotionally and even men cry.
Thank you for watching! I have to say that Marco the Basist of the band the one with the Insane Hair also has a nice voice. Listen to: while your lips are still red, or the islander.
So...8 mo. Ago nightwish??? And you've not gone back in since...guess you really did just kinda like her voice...wow..first time reactors usually turn into binge watching to see n learn more...ghost river, storytime, and everdream...still await your listen to make you a fan and s nightwish soldier as are we...🤘😎🤘
Great reaction!!! NIGHTWISH IS POSSIBLY THE BEST LIVE BAND ON THE PLANET!!! AND FLOOR JANSEN IS A METAL GODDESS!!! If you want to grow your channel then doing Nightwish reactions will help a lot. Nightwish fans are among the most loyal, enthusiastic, and engaged fans you will find. We love to share their music with others and we support others in our Nightwish community. The live versions are generally the most beloved so always try to react to a live version if possible. If you want the most bang for your buck view wise I would do these reactions in this order. “Song of myself” live at Wacken 2015 “Everdream” live at Wacken 2013 “Romanticide” live at wacken 2013 “Storytime” live at Wacken 2013 “Weak fatasy” live at Tampere 2015 “The Poet and the Pendulum” live at Wembley 2015 (you have to pause this one regularly because of copyright issues) “The greatest show on earth” live at Tampere 2015 “Yours is a empty hope” live at Tampere 2015 “ I want my tears back” live at wacken 2013 “Seven days to the Wolves” live at Wembley 2015 “Amaranth” live a wacken 2013 If you want to check out an song performed by their original singer Tarja watch: “The Phantom of the Opera” live End of a Era DVD it’s pretty amazing. And there are so many more... Anything from the live shows at wacken 2013, wembley 2015, or Tampere 2015 are great though Floor seemed a bit vocally fatigued in the wembley show. It was the last show of a huge tour to support their album “Endless Forms Most Beautiful”. The one song from wembley that is a absolute must listen is “The Poet and the Pendulum”. In my opinion this is the greatest song Tuomas has ever written and when performed live with Floor it is as emotionally gripping and inspirational as music gets. The arrangement, the lyrics, the instrumental performance, and Floor’s vocal perfection are mind blowing.
Nightwish is more than a metal band. They're classified as symphonic metal, but they have songs that cover a wide spectrum of sounds from soft ballads, folk metal, and heavy power metal. It's always a joy seeing someone react to NW for the first time and have the same "mind blown" reaction I had. lol
First time watching your channel. I watch all the Nightwish reactions because I love to see people get introduced to one of the greatest bands of our time. My opinion is Floor's one of the best vocalists of our time combined with one of the greatest songwriters of our time, Tuomas, who's on the keyboards. Top that off with the personality added by Eppu and Marco on the guitars and some phenomenal drums and I don't think you'll see another band like Nightwish in our lifetime.
Welcome to the Nightwish Dream Emporium. You are in for a fantastic journey through 3 amazing singers. Floor being my personal favorite. This show is flawless from start to end. So reacting to anything from it would be amazing. May I recommend "Romanticide", Ghost River", and "Storytime".
An exciting journey it was with so many stylish switches between the different exciting parts. I felt many things happening in my body, the mind rules the body.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Symphonic Metal!! Nightwish have had 3 lead singers: Tarja - who was all operatic vocals Anette - who was mostly pop/rock vocals and finally Floor - who can do anything and everything, from operatic to low metal growls... she truly is a goddess! I have personally loved them since around 2004, they are my favourite band and Ghost Love Score is my favourite song of all time. I fell in love with it when Tarja sang the vocals on the studio version, but then Floor came along and made it even more epic!! A few songs I would recommend: Nightwish - Romanticide live at Wacken 2013 Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley 2015 Nightwish - Song of Myself live at Wacken 2013 Nightwish - Weak Fantasy live at Tampere 2015 Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere 2015 Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera live at end of an era (with Tarja)
Nightwish is THE band to ease you in to metal music, start with this beatiful power ballad and continue to the harder stuff Guys, don't throw her in to the deep end at first! ;) My suggestion: Everdream (from wacken too)
i actually started with Powerwolf, in case you dont know them, they are a german Powermetal Band. But Nightwish has claimed first place on my top list without an effort ^^
Great reaction, please keep doing more. The whole Wacken concert is a legendary performance and a great place to start your journey. You can pretty much pick any song.
82,000 metalheads go quiet to hear every note Ann Waychoff is currently absent from RUclips (and the net) here's what she usually posts on these reaction videos (great reactions, btw): quote I am so glad you liked this song, Floor Jansen the singer, Jukka the drummer, Tuomas the keyboard player,composer and lyric writer for 95% of their music, Emppu the guitarist, Marco the bassist and vocals and Troy multi-instrumentalist and vocals. I saw them in concert about a year ago. They are amazing live. If you do more of their songs do the live versions. They are better than the studio versions. They had two singers before Floor. Tarja that you saw in the Phantom of the Opera video was their 1st singer. Then Annette was 2nd. Now you have Floor 3rd and current singer. Floor showed a lot of her diversity as a singer. It is worth hearing more of her. Not that Amy Lee is not a great singer, but in my opinion Floor''s vocal range is better than hers. I hope this information helped. I have been a sub for a while. Really enjoy your channel. I know you have many requests and the Nightwish fans are going to inundate you with them. So I will let you choose one of their's.
Been there, yep the concert was epic. Couldn't make it last year when they played at Wacken again. Wacken Open Air is an annual metal festival over an entire weekend held in northern germany, attendance is roughly 80k plus
4:21 - Floor luring yet another unsuspecting soul into her sweet trap. haha Loved to watch. I could see in your face how you went from unsure about it to loving it. Thanks. More Nightwish reactions? You won't regret it. P.S. If you want to watch more of them, without much of the "growly" stuff, there's a few options: Greatest Show on Earth (drums!), The Islander, Alpenglow, Storytime, Ever Dream, etc., might be good options (all live, of course, out in the open)
Yay! Another one. I'll never get tired of these videos. Please do "Storytime", "Song of Myself", "I Want My Tears Back" and "Ever Dream". Indeed, Kai the new drummer is good, but Jukka (this drummer) is a beast. Floor (singer) is not only pretty, shes goddess gorgeous
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and the greatest symphonic metal band in the world, Nightwish. Watching your reaction was great because it is obvious that you are not too familiar with heavy metal so we got to see your reaction to Nightwish and the metal part of Nightwish. lol It was a double treat.
Is this outside? Yes, yes it is. It's Wacken Open Air, one of the largest metal festivals out there. If I remember correctly there were like 80000 people out there for this particular year. On that note, if you want to hear something from Marco, the dude with 'that hair', I'd recommend The Islander or While your lips are still red - he's doing main vocals for those. Otherwise, The Poet and the Pendulum or The greatest Show on Earth are awesome aswell. And - welcome to Nightwish. :D
We played "while your lips are still red" during our wedding ceremony. Everybody cried their eyes out. And I am talking about every single person present.
Great entry for symphonic metal. Glad you liked them. Get more exposure from Nightwish and more metal bands and metal genre's will come your way. It's insane how many metal genre's there are.
Agree with previous comment, that guy was crying more than likely. If you watch Phantom of The Opera, (it's their first singer, Tarja. Both her and Floor are masters of making people cry) you'll catch 2 girls in the front row crying, and I've seen plenty of reactors cry, especially at Poet and the pendulum. Read a little band history before you watch that one though. Also, you'll have to throw a few pauses in to avoid a copyright strike. They don't have to be long ones, they just have to be there. (preferably during one of the transitions ) Enjoyed this. Thanks :)
Well you have certainly opened a can of worms with this :D All the better I say, but we (the nightwish fans) will now inquire you to react to more stuff, I suggest you go with some of the already commented song suggestions. As I was a bit late to comment after those songs you REALLY should react to The greatest show on earth live and also The poet and the pendulum live at wembley 2016.
The description in the beginning says "Wacken Open Air"-believe it or not: Open Air really means the "concert is outside"...LOL-just kidding. Always a pleasure to watch Nightwish virgins :)) ;nice reaction though. I think Storytime or Ever Dream would be a good way for you to continue your journey into the fantastic world of NW
Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Great reactions. Time to watch the rest from Wacken 2013. You should just do a full reaction to the entire concert because all the tracks are perfection. Enjoy the ride :)
Heey, new Nightwish reactor.🤗🤩 Hey there. I'm glad you liked that. The band is absolutely astonishing. They are one of the pioneers of symphonic metal and quite popular in Europe. I really like the diversity of this band, they could sound so much different, depending on the song. Also, musically, they are just on another level. Everything is so perfect, melody, rhythm and voice. And yes, many reviewers and vocal coaches say that her voice sounds kinda angelic in this song.😍😍😍😇 This song was recorded @ their Wacken 2013 liveset, all of which is an absolute masterpiece and is nonetheless a must-see. Me, and all other Nightwish fans, who came to see your reaction, would be glad to see more of your reactions on their songs. I would recommend their The Greatest Show On Earth live performance from Tampere, if you liked Ghost Love Score, i reckon you would like TGSOE too...😍🥰☺️ Everdream, Alpenglow, Last Ride of the Day also are great for those, not familiar with their music. Also, I want my tears back, again so different sound, with some folky twist because of bagpipes and some dancy vibe.
Floor Jansen...half angel, half warrior princess! The band has ballads like "The Islander," harder songs like "Romanticide," and accessible, uptempo songs like "Storytime" & "Alpenglow." The signature of Nightwish is that the band and crowd both have so much fun! Glad to be here to watch you enjoy it too :)
He, wellkom to the Nightwish Family! This Concert was in 'Wacken, northern Germany. It's round 2 h far from me. I listen this Song minimal 500 Times, since i discoveret this Band at the Beginning of the last Year. It's like a Drug for me! It,s pure Floorgasm!
Nice reaction, watching reactions to this song never gets old :). Nightwish have a lot of really great live performances on youtube (especially "The Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley") but If you liked this and want to try out another band check out "Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect". Floor is this singer btw. I would also say "Epica - Consign to oblivion Live at Zenith", but it does have some growling.
Oh trust me, they also do screamo and sometimes even growls, but it's never self-serving. The singer can do all of it, from growls through operatic, raspy, to pop-ish, she is unusually versatile. The viking-looking bass player also has an amazing voice of many colours, they often play with the combination of vocals. All of the members are great musicians. The keyboardist composes most of the music, including the orchestration. They have a huge range of expression, and whatever they do tends to make sense in the song. This is exactly the kind of a band to show to somebody who thinks that they can never enjoy metal.
Seen this band live like 15 times. I also was on the premier of this show DVD where the drummer Jukka Nevalainen and the singer Floor Jansen attended and had the pleasure to meet them aswell. Jukka is a really nice guy! He's also my favorite drummer. He's not the most technical but he's playing is real treat to watch. The orchestral music your hear from the backing track is recorded with a real orchestra - The London Symphonic Orchestra - that also recorded the score of the Lord of the Rings. The main guy behind the songs is the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen. He is referred as "Modern Mozart" and you can understand why 🤘
Great reaction, yes Floor's voice is beautiful and powerful with such a dynamic range. I agree with you about the drummer Jukka, the drums really come out in this performance. As you mentioned Floor being pretty, you also are quite beautiful yourself. Thank You for a great reaction and appreciation of Nightwish. Look forward to you reacting to many more, any song from this Live at Wacken 2013 will be great.
This song is part of "Once", a beautiful album by Nightwish, in this album they hired the Philarmonic London Orchestra (The same from the Lord of the rings) and a full choir. This particular song is written in 4/4 at the beginning, but in the bridge it changes to a 3/4 which is basically a "Metal Waltz". There's a romantic legend background to this song, some people believe (they've found some clues on the lyrics) "Ghost love Score" is about the love the keyboardist and composer from Nightwish Tuomas Holopainen had for their first singer Tarja Turunen. Some people believe Tuomas used to call her "a Siren" because of her angelical voice: "A siren from the deep came to me Sang my name my longing Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be". And, Welcome to Nightwish Fantasy world!!!
Nightwish has been around since the 90s. Over the years they have had 3 female lead singers. Tarja - operatic- Nemo, Sleeping Sun, Phantom of the Opera,; then Annette - popish - Amaranthe, Bye Bye Beautiful, Storytime; and Floor the singer you just listened to. Poet and the Pendulum, Romaticide, Greatest Show on Earth. Marco, bass, also sings and has an amazing voice. Toumas - keyboards - writes 95% of their music. Juka - drums, recently (due to health reasons) moved into management for the band. Kai - drums replaced Juka. Emppu - guitarist and shortest member of band. Troy - pipes/vocals was a recent addition to Nightwish. (if ANN W. was here, she could tell you about Nightwish so much better.)
Thanks for reacting to this floorgasmic perfloormance by Nightwish. Once their passionate fans spot this reaction, you'll be spending a lot of time reacting to this band that has had three amazing female soprano vocalists since they started in 1996. Their first singer, Tarja Turunen, was a classically trained soprano. She was replaced in 2005 by Anette Olzon, who had a more pop/rock voice, and their current female lead vocalist Floor Jansen first joined them in 2012, but was made an official member a year later. This is her standing 181 cm tall barefoot with a voice so versatile that she can sing anything from pop to opera. Also her stage presence is amazing.
Yeah, a video cannot translate how awesome and just emotional a Nightwish concert can get. I went to see them for their Decades tour in November, where they played songs from all 20 years of their career. The first note of this song started and I was already tearing up, and, yeah, I cried. Haha. Floor is an amazing vocalist, and her being in Nightwish is a dream. If you have Spotify, this show is on there! It's called Showtime, Storytime, and everything is perfect.
"I kinda like her voice"
Ladies and gentlemen... understatement of the century.
I know right? I was laughing hard at that one.
Right
She's klnda orgasmic.
@@wildylupous yes, kinda !
I kept thinking oh you kinda like her voice? Buckle up sweetheart you're about to get kicked in the chest. Floor is over on the stage like... this isn't even my final form.
Here to see Floorgasm.
I did not disapoint :)
Go for Nightwish - Romanticide. Totally different
I think you mean " I was not disappointed" Ahahha
She had a jukkasm as well 😁
Same. Stayed though!
Et pettäny?
I love it when reactors recognise the genius of Jukka's Drumming on this track. His work is as next level as Floor's.
Given the location, can we say it's on the next Floor? *Hides in shame*
"Is this outside?" :O
Yes, legends tell of a wondrous place known as the great outdoors, where there are trees and flowers, and you can see the sun in all its majesty ;)
But legends never tell how brutal the sun is. i went outside once...now im typing this as a pile of dust
And then the year 2020 hit and outside is taboo.
Floorgasms galore with Nightwish with Floor Jansen! You NEED to do Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum Live! It is Epic and takes you through so many emotions -- like watching a whole beautiful movie!
Be sure to check out the history to the song before you watch it.
Even if you didn't catch the history first its still a powerful song to listen to. Learning the history adds more layers to it.
Yes! But make sure you get one of Floor Jansen's live versions from 2015/2016. Most people recommend the one at Wembley 2015. (Many reactors report having copyright issues from RUclips on this one, and so you may have to put a few pauses or breaks in it to get it through.)
The Wembley one with Floor!
@@mooseandsquirellfriend 8
"I kinda like her voice" is the same as it: Albert Einstein, he is kinda into Physics.
This entire concert was perfect. You should react to every single song! Wacken Open Air 2013
And can be found on spotify, "Showtime, Storytime".
Wacken 2013 starring Nightwish and co-starring the 80,000 is..wow!!
The energy this band always creates with their crowd connection is incredible!!
Get on the Nightwish express. It takes you away. You don’t know where they’ll take you but you know it going to be friggin’ epic every time .
Sensory overload….and Floorgasms..NW style!!
Nightwish -Storytime Live @Wacken 2013 ...you wont be disappointed ..Nightwish army is coming your way ..be prepared
Absolutely this!
This more than anything!
Reporting on duty, Sir!
Present , Sir!! Waiting for the floorgasm!
God bless RUclips's recommended algorithm for doing me a solid. I live for these. Present and accounted for.
Wacken is currently considered the biggest purely metal festival in the world. Visitors from 80 nations. 80,000 people plus personnel. Takes place in the small village of Wacken, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Hamburg. Lasts four days and has been sold out for 15 years in a row. Last year there were 197 bands on nine stages. Nightwish themselves have been around since 1996, Floor Jansen is the third singer, following Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon (who was unloved by quite a few fans). Floor's vocal range is officially C3 - F6 iirc.
Nightwish the greatest band in the world! Floor is the best female singer on the planet. You can watch anything from this live show as its perfection! 🤘
Agreed
🤘
Welcome to the wonderful world of NightWish, if you carry on with them you are in for a treat 🤘
I have to say this was the most enjoyable reaction video of the Ghost Love Score ever! You were so into it. I guess that all this was pretty new and exciting to you: this musical genre (symphonic metal) and all this crazy crowd surfing... 😂🤘😝 Glad that you liked what you heard and saw. Nightwish is pretty special band and it's founder/keyboardist/song writer, Tuomas Holopainen (Finnish), is a real musical genius. I wish you do more Nightwish in the future. It will surprises you every single time, I promise you that!
The guy wasn't getting sleepy, he was just wiping tears from an overdose of awesomeness :D
I don’t think that guy was bored, He was more likely crying. Nightwish has that effect on people.
I was thinking this same thing. Does it to me every once in a while as well :)
@@jonathanmelton8835 same
@@nighthunter3039 yes...to me also... they are truly épico and emotional...the guy was clearly crying...we ve seen that só many Times with this band s shows
Crying... defenitly the guy is crying...hapens a lot
I could see Nightwish alive, and I cry too
I've seen a couple of your videos before and now Nightwish brought me back here. I loved your reactions, great video!
Well, you did it, you awakened the Nightwish YT Army =) If you want more Nightwish, there are two paths I would suggest, and that all depends on when you want to hit the "holy trinity." The holy trinity, is Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken 2013 (what you just watched, which is a great introduction), Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley, and Greatest Show on Earth Live at Tampere. These three are the reason that I consider Floor Jansen (the current singer) to be one of the best female singers in the world and why I consider Tuomas (the pianist and composer) to be one of the best modern composers. However, they are a lot to take in: Greatest Show on Earth is a massive 20+ minute long magnum opus telling the history of life on planet Earth and Poet and the Pendulum is probably one of the biggest emotional roller coasters I've ever experienced in any form of music (it's the most personal song Tuomas has ever written, being a way to get himself out of a really dark place by expressing all the despair that was inside of him, and then in the end being "resurrected"). I would say if you want to go directly for the other two of the trinity, it is a great way to experience Nightwish, however, if you do, I would suggest looking up the full backstory on Poet and the Pendulum, as it's incredibly well documented online and I think the song hits harder that way (I only gave you the briefest, most barebone summaries).
The other path is more gradual, hitting a few great but shorter songs before heading for the other two of the trinity. I would say you would have fun with Everdream, Live at Wacken 2013; Storytime, Live at Wacken 2013; Phantom of the Opera, End of an Era 2005 (with their original singer, Tarja); Alpenglow, Live at Wembley; Romanticide, Live at Wacken 2013; and The Islander, Live at Tampere (this has much more focus on Marco, their bassist/second vocalist that looks like a viking).
I realize now though that giving you so many options may be a bit much (sorry lol!). I would say then, if you want to experience the high points of Nightwish, then Poet and the Pendulum. If you want a more gradual pace, try Everdream. Either way, to paraphrase a Kevin Costner film, "If you [react to Nightwish], they will come."
Also, since I was rude and didn't mention this in my original comment (Sorry, I enjoy giving recommendations for one of my favorite bands, forgive me): this reaction was super fun and your cute little reaction cartoons were a very nice touch. It's always nice when a reactor puts something a bit extra into their videos to make it a bit more expressive of their personality. =)
A new Nightwish reactor and what a sweetheart she is!! Now you have opened the door for us Nightwish devotees and on behalf of us all I'd like to welcome you to the wonderful versatile world of Nightwish. All the people commenting before and after me surely will fill you in on the band's history and bombard you with requests. I'm looking very much forward to this. Such a lovely person like you deserves many subscribers; I will add mine as well.
Song of Myself from the same show would be good for the next video of them. Glad you liked this one.. 👍
yeah, one of their best!
Welcome to the tsunami of Nightwish fans. You will be hit with requests for every Nightwish song imaginable. Do yourself a favor, and react to them all. You'll not regret it, and we'll be here for it. The only thing that needs to be known: Most singers sing what they can. Floor sings whatever she wants.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish :) . You are in for a hell of a ride! Next react to "My Walden" live@ Tampere
Poet and the pendulum is rekomanded. It's a masterpiece. Another one is phantom of the opera. Keep going nightwish 👍🤟❤️
Both songs are what I was going to suggest 😊
I really liked what you did with the split screen during reacting 👍
A very good reaction video, thanks!
I have been waiting for this so long. Great reaction. Do Nightwish - Romanticide from the same concert.
I agree. A beautiful song about love.
(-:
Oh god yes.. like a million times YES!
Well, "Ghost love score" was your boarding pass to the Nighwish world.
Floor Jansen is one of the best modern time vocalist and there is old saying in the jungle; " Floor changes from low note to high note and back faster than tigers attacks!"
If you check more songs from Nighwish, you will found also other genres like rock, ballads,folk, etc...And sometimes all same song, there is lot of levels on many songs of Nightwish and you will never know where song takes you when listening first time.
Also lyrics of songs are sometimes quite extra ordinary.
And one thing more: Nightwish is live band, even better on live than on record.
Watching people react to this performance has become an Olympic sport to me haha. Glad you enjoyed it! I don’t even need to read the comments to know exactly what song is being most heavily recommended next.
So buckle up, grab a box of tissues and do Poet and the Pendulum.... cause you ain’t seem nothing yet! 🤘🤘
youp, been doing this kind of thing for the last 6 months now, still can't get enough when most of the people go :"whaaaat?" at the end of the song
Petru Brandusa
Totally. Then you get the occasional groan when the person reacting is watching the “wrong one” from Argentina rofl. Still a great performance of course, but this one is just bonkers.
Really enjoyed your reaction :)
And I have a little explanation for the guy rubbing his eyes. He is not bored. Not even tired. Ok, I don't know that, but it's not the reason. This performance was taken on the Wacken Festival with over 80.000 visitors. I've been there a few times in the years before. If it is sunny all day, the ground beneath all these feet gets very dry and there is lot of dust raising even after dusk. If you look closely he licks his hand before he rubs his eyes. This poor guy very likely hasn't seen any water for a few hours and his eyes are constantly under a layer of fine dust, dried out and itching like hell. What he does gives a little relief for a few minutes. I have done that a few times myself on such festival days, that's how I know :D
Floor signs like an Angel,she prowls the stage like a tigress and has the presence of a goddess. Never a metal fan but they are at the top of my list.
Hey there, I think I've watched 15-20 reactions (yea, a bit of a nerd and a big Nightwish fan 😂 ) to this Nightwish performance and yours is just the cutest 😍😁
This was the opener to the biggest Heavy Metal festival in the world, which to this day takes place in a small town in Germany, called Wacken. While the population of Wacken is less than 2,000 people, there were more than 85,000 people in the audience just at this show.
Wacken 2023 was sold out after only 5 hours.
Awesome song, floor is so amazing, and yes that drummer is killer too :)
Thanx for reacting - another floorgasm achieved :)
You like intense? Then this is the perfect song for you. Nightwish - Shudder Before The Beautiful (Live @Wembley Arena)
Also another great example of Floors awesome stage presence.
Floor Jansen is a confirmed. Siren.. i would follow her voice into the sea
I'd follow the Siren's voice into Valhalla
As are Weronika Wojtkowska, Maria Krysztofiak and Kasia Bernaś....
This never gets old....Juuka grooving on his TAMA set, Emmpu riffing on his ESP, Marco giving us those amazing base line on his Warwick Bazzard, Tuomas dishing out his genius on his KORGs and Foor (oh floor) mezmerizing the crowds like a modern day Valkyrie. Every single one of these musicians is at the top of the talent tree. Perfection.
Came for the song.
Staid for the reaction.
An the floorgasm.
Floor is 6-1 in bare feet....6-5 (195+ cm) in those heels that alone grabs attention
Roy Smothers She grabs me... 🤫😃
That average height of women in The Netherlands. I'm Dutch btw, my father in the other hand you ppl might call he's a giant😂😂😂😂 im 1.98 meters tall which is 6'6 in foot and inches but my dad is 2.11 meters tall in calculated in foot and inches is 6'11, however i had a guy form my class in The Netherlands who was slightly taller then my dad... in The Netherlands ppl know we are tall but i also see lots of ppl in The Netherlands who reaches these heights as well sooo this tallness is becoming more and more common.
Dutch people are the largest people in the world.
She's 6' (183 cm) and I guess around 6'3 in heels (190 cm)
She is actually 6'1" and anywhere from 6'3" to 6'4" depending on what shoes she wears. She has a younger sister that is also 6'1" and is also a singer
Great reaction! I just saw your video in my recomendations and really enjoyed it. I'm going to check them all out now. It's funny when you said she's pretty I was thinking the same of you. Great video keep it up.
if you wish to react to more of them i suggest Everdream, Storytime, Song of Myself.
One the heavier side there's Ghost River and Romanticide.
All of these from the same concert as this reaction (Wacken 2013)
Stargazers aswell!
Why whenever people say "Heavier" they ways forget Your's is an Empty Hope live??
Oh, yeah. Always love to see a Nightwish virgin being indoctrinated into the tribe. We tend to be a hard-core bunch. Nightwish is notorious for changing keys, tempos, rhythms within a song. The keyboardist, Toumas, writes and composes most of the music, the bassist, Marco, also sings and has a great voice. He has a band, Tarot, where he is the primary vocalist. Floor can change singing styles from one note to another. Growls, operatic, angelic, all in the same sentence.
This was the cutest reaction ever and editing was hilarious. You made smile a lot!
I only recently discovered Nightwish for myself and this, is THE SONG that got me hooked. She hits that high sustained octave near the end and my jaw about hit the floor (no pun intended). Welcome, sister, to the sheer epic awesomeness that is Nightwish. Though, I have Patty Gurdy, formerly of Storm Seeker and her solo rendition of Over the Hills and Far Away, also covered by Nightwish, to thank.
12:26.... No, girl....he's crying. Very common at a Nightwish concert tbh. Tuomas (keyboardist) writes 97% of all Nightwish songs and he really knows how to move you emotionally and even men cry.
U were so fun to Watch!! My fav of urs so far!
Thank you for watching!
I have to say that Marco the Basist of the band the one with the Insane Hair also has a nice voice.
Listen to: while your lips are still red, or the islander.
or High Hopes
So...8 mo. Ago nightwish??? And you've not gone back in since...guess you really did just kinda like her voice...wow..first time reactors usually turn into binge watching to see n learn more...ghost river, storytime, and everdream...still await your listen to make you a fan and s nightwish soldier as are we...🤘😎🤘
Great reaction!!! NIGHTWISH IS POSSIBLY THE BEST LIVE BAND ON THE PLANET!!! AND FLOOR JANSEN IS A METAL GODDESS!!!
If you want to grow your channel then doing Nightwish reactions will help a lot. Nightwish fans are among the most loyal, enthusiastic, and engaged fans you will find. We love to share their music with others and we support others in our Nightwish community. The live versions are generally the most beloved so always try to react to a live version if possible. If you want the most bang for your buck view wise I would do these reactions in this order.
“Song of myself” live at Wacken 2015
“Everdream” live at Wacken 2013
“Romanticide” live at wacken 2013
“Storytime” live at Wacken 2013
“Weak fatasy” live at Tampere 2015
“The Poet and the Pendulum” live at Wembley 2015 (you have to pause this one regularly because of copyright issues)
“The greatest show on earth” live at Tampere 2015
“Yours is a empty hope” live at Tampere 2015
“ I want my tears back” live at wacken 2013
“Seven days to the Wolves” live at Wembley 2015
“Amaranth” live a wacken 2013
If you want to check out an song performed by their original singer Tarja watch:
“The Phantom of the Opera” live End of a Era DVD it’s pretty amazing.
And there are so many more... Anything from the live shows at wacken 2013, wembley 2015, or Tampere 2015 are great though Floor seemed a bit vocally fatigued in the wembley show. It was the last show of a huge tour to support their album “Endless Forms Most Beautiful”. The one song from wembley that is a absolute must listen is “The Poet and the Pendulum”. In my opinion this is the greatest song Tuomas has ever written and when performed live with Floor it is as emotionally gripping and inspirational as music gets. The arrangement, the lyrics, the instrumental performance, and Floor’s vocal perfection are mind blowing.
You just made the entire 58,687,893 Nightwish Army happy today. cheers!
She is what it means to be a beautiful powerful badass, without even trying💯
Nightwish is more than a metal band. They're classified as symphonic metal, but they have songs that cover a wide spectrum of sounds from soft ballads, folk metal, and heavy power metal. It's always a joy seeing someone react to NW for the first time and have the same "mind blown" reaction I had. lol
Talking about his hair is so frivolous, when there is so much talent in the band
First time watching your channel. I watch all the Nightwish reactions because I love to see people get introduced to one of the greatest bands of our time. My opinion is Floor's one of the best vocalists of our time combined with one of the greatest songwriters of our time, Tuomas, who's on the keyboards. Top that off with the personality added by Eppu and Marco on the guitars and some phenomenal drums and I don't think you'll see another band like Nightwish in our lifetime.
Welcome to the Nightwish Dream Emporium. You are in for a fantastic journey through 3 amazing singers. Floor being my personal favorite.
This show is flawless from start to end. So reacting to anything from it would be amazing. May I recommend "Romanticide", Ghost River", and "Storytime".
Congratulations on your first Floorgasm! Multiple Floorgasms at that :)
The drummer, one of the best, full control of the double bass. He was killer!
It was on that last note that Tarja handed her the torch and Floor bowed to say thank you.
An exciting journey it was with so many stylish switches between the different exciting parts. I felt many things happening in my body, the mind rules the body.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Symphonic Metal!!
Nightwish have had 3 lead singers:
Tarja - who was all operatic vocals
Anette - who was mostly pop/rock vocals and finally
Floor - who can do anything and everything, from operatic to low metal growls... she truly is a goddess!
I have personally loved them since around 2004, they are my favourite band and Ghost Love Score is my favourite song of all time. I fell in love with it when Tarja sang the vocals on the studio version, but then Floor came along and made it even more epic!!
A few songs I would recommend:
Nightwish - Romanticide live at Wacken 2013
Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley 2015
Nightwish - Song of Myself live at Wacken 2013
Nightwish - Weak Fantasy live at Tampere 2015
Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere 2015
Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera live at end of an era (with Tarja)
Omg after 200303 times watching that clip on youtube. I had never noticed the guy crying haha
Me either and im always watching these reaction videos of people having floorgasms
The poet and the pendulum have to be your next one... (live at Wembley)
But be careful. You will crying. So, prepare... 😎
He how? We are very good.
@@vanhelsing4602 He how ? Oh yes. What ??!!
You are shure, she understand the poet...🤔🤣
Nightwish is THE band to ease you in to metal music, start with this beatiful power ballad and continue to the harder stuff
Guys, don't throw her in to the deep end at first! ;)
My suggestion: Everdream (from wacken too)
RustySpace or epica or within temptation, the gathering works aswell
Amaranth and Nemo are good too 😁😎🤘
i actually started with Powerwolf, in case you dont know them, they are a german Powermetal Band. But Nightwish has claimed first place on my top list without an effort ^^
Great reaction, please keep doing more. The whole Wacken concert is a legendary performance and a great place to start your journey. You can pretty much pick any song.
82,000 metalheads go quiet to hear every note
Ann Waychoff is currently absent from RUclips (and the net) here's what she usually posts on these reaction videos (great reactions, btw):
quote I am so glad you liked this song, Floor Jansen the singer, Jukka the drummer, Tuomas the keyboard player,composer and lyric writer for 95% of their music, Emppu the guitarist, Marco the bassist and vocals and Troy multi-instrumentalist and vocals. I saw them in concert about a year ago. They are amazing live. If you do more of their songs do the live versions. They are better than the studio versions. They had two singers before Floor. Tarja that you saw in the Phantom of the Opera video was their 1st singer. Then Annette was 2nd. Now you have Floor 3rd and current singer. Floor showed a lot of her diversity as a singer. It is worth hearing more of her. Not that Amy Lee is not a
great singer, but in my opinion Floor''s vocal range is better than hers. I hope this information helped. I have been a sub for a while. Really enjoy your channel. I know you have many requests and the Nightwish fans are going to inundate you with them. So I will let you choose one of their's.
Ann would be proud of you ...well done
@@stevekanakanui7033 thanks, bro - hopefully she'll be back soon
@@Aravah1887 Yes i heard from Adam Blackstone he said she was getting better and expected to be out of the hospital soon ..lets hope this to be true
Been there, yep the concert was epic. Couldn't make it last year when they played at Wacken again. Wacken Open Air is an annual metal festival over an entire weekend held in northern germany, attendance is roughly 80k plus
Xena, Valkyrie, Goddess...It doesn't matter since I recently found this group. I LOVE it!!!
amazon :)
4:21 - Floor luring yet another unsuspecting soul into her sweet trap. haha Loved to watch. I could see in your face how you went from unsure about it to loving it. Thanks. More Nightwish reactions? You won't regret it.
P.S. If you want to watch more of them, without much of the "growly" stuff, there's a few options: Greatest Show on Earth (drums!), The Islander, Alpenglow, Storytime, Ever Dream, etc., might be good options (all live, of course, out in the open)
"This part is kind of relaxing"
Well.. you going to need it
Well it's called a festival, they generally are outside. This one was the Wacken Festival in Germany and i was there (multiple times)
Yay! Another one. I'll never get tired of these videos. Please do "Storytime", "Song of Myself", "I Want My Tears Back" and "Ever Dream". Indeed, Kai the new drummer is good, but Jukka (this drummer) is a beast. Floor (singer) is not only pretty, shes goddess gorgeous
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and the greatest symphonic metal band in the world, Nightwish. Watching your reaction was great because it is obvious that you are not too familiar with heavy metal so we got to see your reaction to Nightwish and the metal part of Nightwish. lol It was a double treat.
Is this outside? Yes, yes it is. It's Wacken Open Air, one of the largest metal festivals out there. If I remember correctly there were like 80000 people out there for this particular year.
On that note, if you want to hear something from Marco, the dude with 'that hair', I'd recommend The Islander or While your lips are still red - he's doing main vocals for those.
Otherwise, The Poet and the Pendulum or The greatest Show on Earth are awesome aswell. And - welcome to Nightwish. :D
yeah, wacken is crazy - a little fun fact: Wacken (the village) only has around 1900 citizens - pretty crazy to think about it 😅
Or better yet, High Hopes from the End Of An Era concert. Marco absolutely nails that Pink Floyd cover
We played "while your lips are still red" during our wedding ceremony. Everybody cried their eyes out. And I am talking about every single person present.
Floor is Godesssss, Nightwish is Religion! Welcome to the wonderfull world of Nightwish! Welcome to the family
Great entry for symphonic metal. Glad you liked them. Get more exposure from Nightwish and more metal bands and metal genre's will come your way. It's insane how many metal genre's there are.
Still a heavy appreciation for Tuomas being able to headbang that heavily while playing the keyboard super efficiently.
Agree with previous comment, that guy was crying more than likely. If you watch Phantom of The Opera, (it's their first singer, Tarja. Both her and Floor are masters of making people cry) you'll catch 2 girls in the front row crying, and I've seen plenty of reactors cry, especially at Poet and the pendulum. Read a little band history before you watch that one though. Also, you'll have to throw a few pauses in to avoid a copyright strike. They don't have to be long ones, they just have to be there. (preferably during one of the transitions ) Enjoyed this. Thanks :)
Well you have certainly opened a can of worms with this :D All the better I say, but we (the nightwish fans) will now inquire you to react to more stuff, I suggest you go with some of the already commented song suggestions. As I was a bit late to comment after those songs you REALLY should react to The greatest show on earth live and also The poet and the pendulum live at wembley 2016.
The description in the beginning says "Wacken Open Air"-believe it or not: Open Air really means the "concert is outside"...LOL-just kidding. Always a pleasure to watch Nightwish virgins :)) ;nice reaction though. I think Storytime or Ever Dream would be a good way for you to continue your journey into the fantastic world of NW
I'm a simple man: I see Nightwish, I click!!!
Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Great reactions. Time to watch the rest from Wacken 2013. You should just do a full reaction to the entire concert because all the tracks are perfection. Enjoy the ride :)
Heey, new Nightwish reactor.🤗🤩
Hey there. I'm glad you liked that. The band is absolutely astonishing. They are one of the pioneers of symphonic metal and quite popular in Europe.
I really like the diversity of this band, they could sound so much different, depending on the song. Also, musically, they are just on another level. Everything is so perfect, melody, rhythm and voice. And yes, many reviewers and vocal coaches say that her voice sounds kinda angelic in this song.😍😍😍😇 This song was recorded @ their Wacken 2013 liveset, all of which is an absolute masterpiece and is nonetheless a must-see.
Me, and all other Nightwish fans, who came to see your reaction, would be glad to see more of your reactions on their songs. I would recommend their The Greatest Show On Earth live performance from Tampere, if you liked Ghost Love Score, i reckon you would like TGSOE too...😍🥰☺️ Everdream, Alpenglow, Last Ride of the Day also are great for those, not familiar with their music. Also, I want my tears back, again so different sound, with some folky twist because of bagpipes and some dancy vibe.
You are so awesome!1
You simply cannot have a reaction channel without doing this song. Devin Townsend's 'Kingdom live at EMG' is another one.
Floor Jansen...half angel, half warrior princess! The band has ballads like "The Islander," harder songs like "Romanticide," and accessible, uptempo songs like "Storytime" & "Alpenglow." The signature of Nightwish is that the band and crowd both have so much fun! Glad to be here to watch you enjoy it too :)
Also check Nightwish - The Phantom Of The Opera (live from End of an era). This song is with their original main vocalist, Tarja Turunen.
He, wellkom to the Nightwish Family!
This Concert was in 'Wacken, northern Germany. It's round 2 h far from me.
I listen this Song minimal 500 Times, since i discoveret this Band at the Beginning of the last Year. It's like a Drug for me! It,s pure Floorgasm!
Nice reaction, watching reactions to this song never gets old :). Nightwish have a lot of really great live performances on youtube (especially "The Poet and the Pendulum Live at Wembley") but If you liked this and want to try out another band check out "Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect". Floor is this singer btw. I would also say "Epica - Consign to oblivion Live at Zenith", but it does have some growling.
so much positive energy inside you, love to feel it
Marko the Basist with all the hair is the oldest and was in a 80-ties hair band called "Tarot", I recomend "Wings of Darkness" He sings too 👍🐱👤😎
Ha! Wait until you hear the rest! Good reaction. Exciting video. 🤟✌️
Oh trust me, they also do screamo and sometimes even growls, but it's never self-serving. The singer can do all of it, from growls through operatic, raspy, to pop-ish, she is unusually versatile. The viking-looking bass player also has an amazing voice of many colours, they often play with the combination of vocals. All of the members are great musicians. The keyboardist composes most of the music, including the orchestration. They have a huge range of expression, and whatever they do tends to make sense in the song. This is exactly the kind of a band to show to somebody who thinks that they can never enjoy metal.
im a simple man, i see nightwish and i press like
I am a simple woman and I did the same 😁
Oh you give credit to the drumer, well done, this is a masterpiece in all the dimensions!
I'm surprised by your surprise about a "concert outside". You never seen a festival?
Ikr! So odd 😅
What always gets me about them is how their live performances sound almost exactly like their studio recordings. So few modern artists can do that.
Seen this band live like 15 times. I also was on the premier of this show DVD where the drummer Jukka Nevalainen and the singer Floor Jansen attended and had the pleasure to meet them aswell. Jukka is a really nice guy! He's also my favorite drummer. He's not the most technical but he's playing is real treat to watch. The orchestral music your hear from the backing track is recorded with a real orchestra - The London Symphonic Orchestra - that also recorded the score of the Lord of the Rings. The main guy behind the songs is the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen. He is referred as "Modern Mozart" and you can understand why 🤘
Great reaction, yes Floor's voice is beautiful and powerful with such a dynamic range. I agree with you about the drummer Jukka, the drums really come out in this performance. As you mentioned Floor being pretty, you also are quite beautiful yourself. Thank You for a great reaction and appreciation of Nightwish. Look forward to you reacting to many more, any song from this Live at Wacken 2013 will be great.
This song is part of "Once", a beautiful album by Nightwish, in this album they hired the Philarmonic London Orchestra (The same from the Lord of the rings) and a full choir. This particular song is written in 4/4 at the beginning, but in the bridge it changes to a 3/4 which is basically a "Metal Waltz". There's a romantic legend background to this song, some people believe (they've found some clues on the lyrics) "Ghost love Score" is about the love the keyboardist and composer from Nightwish Tuomas Holopainen had for their first singer Tarja Turunen. Some people believe Tuomas used to call her "a Siren" because of her angelical voice:
"A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be".
And, Welcome to Nightwish Fantasy world!!!
Nightwish has been around since the 90s. Over the years they have had 3 female lead singers. Tarja - operatic- Nemo, Sleeping Sun, Phantom of the Opera,; then Annette - popish - Amaranthe, Bye Bye Beautiful, Storytime; and Floor the singer you just listened to. Poet and the Pendulum, Romaticide, Greatest Show on Earth. Marco, bass, also sings and has an amazing voice. Toumas - keyboards - writes 95% of their music. Juka - drums, recently (due to health reasons) moved into management for the band. Kai - drums replaced Juka. Emppu - guitarist and shortest member of band. Troy - pipes/vocals was a recent addition to Nightwish. (if ANN W. was here, she could tell you about Nightwish so much better.)
Thanks for reacting to this floorgasmic perfloormance by Nightwish. Once their passionate fans spot this reaction, you'll be spending a lot of time reacting to this band that has had three amazing female soprano vocalists since they started in 1996. Their first singer, Tarja Turunen, was a classically trained soprano. She was replaced in 2005 by Anette Olzon, who had a more pop/rock voice, and their current female lead vocalist Floor Jansen first joined them in 2012, but was made an official member a year later. This is her standing 181 cm tall barefoot with a voice so versatile that she can sing anything from pop to opera. Also her stage presence is amazing.
Yeah, a video cannot translate how awesome and just emotional a Nightwish concert can get. I went to see them for their Decades tour in November, where they played songs from all 20 years of their career. The first note of this song started and I was already tearing up, and, yeah, I cried. Haha.
Floor is an amazing vocalist, and her being in Nightwish is a dream. If you have Spotify, this show is on there! It's called Showtime, Storytime, and everything is perfect.
this is the first of the nightwish holly thrinity,2 more to come!
