Hello Jeff Castanon [ Stratele Studios ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome BACK to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This song was performed in Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland...
... Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with links with the current lineup of the band you may like. Please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory:

"The Poet And The Pendulum" [Wembley Arena 2015] ruclips.net/video/N4Vfy5yCy-c/видео.html - for this one (The Poet.. ) I strongly recommend you to do some research, since is a deep emotional and meaningful song, for both the band and the fans.
"The Greatest Show On Earth" [Tampere 2015] ruclips.net/video/45brzDJKZ3o/видео.html - You should leave at the end the epic masterpiece. You'll not be disappointed :)
@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or videos from this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019, TV show from Netherlands, here is a playlist made by Floor herself ruclips.net/p/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo
In the spring of 2021, Floor also did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival ruclips.net/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/видео.html
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us from her home studio, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 9 covers there, here is the playlist ruclips.net/p/PL8iSYWeQhlinbJW0aJc2iVy5tYEhC5KL9
Following the success of Beste Zangers show, Floor performed a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020 with songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers) following that the last and the largest concert, at AFAS Amsterdam, to be professionally recorded and broadcast online, with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. After several rescheduling, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the concert took place at the beginning of September 2021 in 3 consecutive days. So far the first 14 songs from the concert plus the backstage documentary have been posted online, here is the playlist ruclips.net/p/PL8iSYWeQhlilDPohfKzmFC_wdTOllD3jh
On March 25th Floor Jansen released her first solo song, "Fire" ruclips.net/video/Utz4gFG3HF8/видео.html
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe

Hello Gabriel. You are expected here 😅:
ruclips.net/video/_OYZKPYrMGk/видео.html
Absolutely, stunningly informative and brilliant comment, my friend. Thank you for consolidating all of this information for me to reference going forward. I know this band has a rich history and it's very interesting to follow how they got here. Thanks for taking the time send me this, my brother.
Floor does not need autotune. Another reactor who is a sound engineer has checked for that and he concluded that there is no autotune or any other digital tricks used. What you hear, is what she produces 🙂
He's got a fantastic channel, it's great to see the genuinely great singers don't need autotune / pro tools. His software proves it beyond doubt, and shows up some very surprising results from other singers.....
Jo and Richard are so right. .and I enjoy Fil also and what he's been doing lately.on Wings of Pegasus. heard NW in concert 2 weeks ago. my 3rd time. Floor is so brilliant
@@johns20901 I like Fil
Can you give us the link to the video pls?
@@vera4260 I will search for it. It's quite some time ago I saw it.
The keyboard player is the genius behind most of the songs. He isn’t called the metal Mozart for nothing.
I never really got that nickname other than for the alliteration. They're more Wagnerian than Wagner ffs. He should be the Metal Wagner.
@@fmtpulmanns7593 I totally understand and agree it is more epic than Mozart but I think it's more the level of genius.
@@fmtpulmanns7593 It is about the talent that seems to be just coming to him like from some divine external source, I think that is the connection to Mozart. It is pretty insane how creative Tuomas has stayed for over 25 years now!
His name is Tuomas Holopainen and he is a freaking genius!!!
Keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen writes most of music and lyrics.
Glad you checked out this one. Really shows off Floor's versatility."Storytime" from the same gig would be another great but less progressive song to have a look at.
and "Everdream" as well.....
@@roy19491 I concur (Eric Clark joke)
Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) our metal Mozart writes and composes songs. He's so talented person and I love his music what he does ❤🤘
Our beloved Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy is a Dutch 6.1 woman.
Tuomas aka the Metal Mozart.( band leader, composer, songwriter, keyboarder )
Emmpu is the Electric Hobbit.
Marko is the Viking
Jukka is the Pirate
Troy aka the Bard (not in this song )
Hail Nightwish 😇😇😇😇😇
Electric Hobbit😆❤️
@@ttirinen That got me to...lol
@Tiina Tirinen For those who may not know, he's 5.4" (165cm) and kind of adorable, especially next to Tuomas and Floor who are pretty tall.
You're absolutely right. Floor has power, presence, personality and incredible versatility. She has the skill to switch between vocal styles within one sentence and even one word. From growls to full on classical, she can do it all.
If you'd like a short video on our Valkyrie Queen, I can't think of a better one than the well-known Rock Academy Reunion video. A great introduction to Floor and it's English subbed! It was shot for Dutch tv, right before, during and after the legendary Tampere gig where Floor's parents were present in the audience. Enjoy: Floor Jansen in Dutch show Reunion (Tampere 2015) ruclips.net/video/zRqqma4kWIg/видео.html Cheers from Amsterdam!
BTW: Tuomas (Too-Oh-mas) on keys is called the "Metal Mozart". He's the brilliant composer of it all.
"This guy. On the bass..." (with the strong beard game) is Marko Hietala (pron: HEE-ah-Tallah), a classically trained guitarist, bassist, songwriter and incredible vocalist both solo and in harmony. You will hear his voice more should you journey down the Nightwish path!
Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA, USA!
“with the strong beard game” 😂🤣😂👏👏👏
@@StrateleStudios listen to their “Phantom of the Opera” live performance with Tarja and enjoy Mario’s voice …😊
Epic track in what will go down as one of the best concerts of all time.
When it comes to technical ability as a vocalist, Floor is pretty much the gold standard. I love watching vocal coaches standing in awe of what she does. Floor with Nightwish is the perfect storm.
Hello Jeff Castanon.
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
You, sir, are correct in saying there is no pitch correction happening with her. Her vocals have been run through digital analysis and it shows that it's a natural voice, with minor imperfections that are nearly, and often completely, undetectable to the human ear. Ever so slightly flat here, a tiny bit sharp there, but will sounds basically pitch perfect. She's put a LOT of work into her craft, and we get to enjoy the fruits of her labour. Even when she's ill, and really struggling, she manages to stay on key, which is more than some singers can say on their best day.
Where was this run through an analysis? I'd be curious to watch that if you could post the name? :)
@@badsiony wings of Pegasus channel
Yes, Floor's appearance is the most captivating one. Everyone wants to look at her. It's really special! ⛄💗👸
😁🇫🇮❤️🎶🎹🎤🎸🥁✨🤘
I knew you will try GLS, TY💙🎶✨
Edit. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player 🇫🇮😁🤘🎹🎶
very cool reaction,
greetings from the Nightwish Army from Germany :-)
Thanks Michellinchen! (Cool name!)
Oh yes ....you listened to the masses .....this is going to be GOOOOOOODDDDD!!!
Yea , Floor doesnt need any help with her voice in live performances.....shes one of the few singers out there who actually sounds better live .
The keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen, composes most of what they do. He is a genius.
Tuomas Holopainen is the man behind the music, lyrics and the feeling. It is his pain and life that¨s reflected in the music. I´m old and gray but this is my musc
Excellent reaction 👍
And yes Floor is one of a kind - just like Tuomas, Emppu, Kai, Troy and Jukka.
They are by far the greatest Symphonic Metal band ever - with the greatest storyteller in front
Yes - pitch correction, autotune etc - it would kill Floor's ability to color and change her singing on the spot - and she does that - adjust to the audience..
Thank you Kim!!!
Aww... Marco isn't one of a kind?!? 😉
Epic track, and utterly amazing vocals by Floor that touches your soul...
Great reaction.
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves. Floor joined her first band (After Forever) at the very young age of 16. She also attended the Rock Academie in the Netherlands and studied opera and musical theater after that. Floor has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several Master vocal coaches (She is also a certified Master vocal coach). Floor can sing in multiple languages, styles and genres. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. This Valkyrie goddess is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to Nightwish. The Band hired her in 2012 as a temporary replacement for their previous vocalist Anette Olson (2nd vocalist hired after the original Tarja) to finish out the North American tour. In 2013 Nightwish officially announced that Floor and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Troy Donockley are now permanent members of the band. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🇺🇸 🤘🏽🔥 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Aurora and Floor Jansen. There is nothing better.
Because you mentioned the look of the band.
We have the Valkyrie Goddess Floor.
We have the Viking Marko.
We have the pirat Jukka.
We have the Hobbit Emppu.
We have the Bart Troy.
And we have the Metal Mozard Tuomas.
Everything sounds like fresh from the fairy tale / fantasy book. 😁
You'll like bassist Marco even more when you hear him sing...The Islander, Kiss while your Lips are still Red, High Hopes, The Phantom of the Opera
Not to forget their rendition of/tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes. There you also get to see more of Empuu's guitar wizardy
If he liked Marco playing, image when he listen him singing haha
I'd also listen to essentially his last song with Nightwish - Endlessness. Singing sounds flawless as always :)
Marco is just an absolute diamond and there is no replacing him. I hope he is able to find peace and solitude in his life away from music. He’s an epic bass player but he’s just on another level as a singer. So versatile. He will be missed.
@@climber950 I heard a rumor he may be ready to return in the future...I'd feel for the new Jukka but....
To answer your question the bands composer/lyricist is the keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen, including the backing tracks. Fans call him the "metal Mozart". When he refers to himself in lyrics, he's "The Poet". Or "the dead boy" depending.
Yep, poet indeed and boy or "one with a pure heart", which is the same thing really, writer/song writer, dreamer and ocean soul.
If He is the metal mozart then Christos Antionio is the metal Beethoven.
There is a RUclipsr who studied with software if Floor does autotune. No she doesn’t but what the software showed that she is a monster pitchmaster.
FYI His channel name is wings of Pegasus
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
The Nightwish Army is incoming!
Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Nightwish makes floor a worldstar .🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The interlude is a backing track with the London Philharmonic. Tuomas (keys) does almost all of the music and lyrics for Nightwish. Marko (bassist) also adds some to the music writing. Hope to see you again very soon my friend. Peace.
I saw them in May in NYC and they were terrific. Ghost Love Score then and now has the same feel from 9 years ago, even though they gave a different drummer and a different bass player. Can't wait for the next US tour. You probably already know this but Floor is married to Sabaton drummer Hannes Van Dahl. They met on tour.
As good as this performance is, seeing them LIVE is on an entirely different level. I was so fortunate to catch them on their North American tour recently. The camaraderie and talent was on full display. Top 5 highlight of my 60 years of existence hands down. Thank you sir for helping keep the memory alive.
The pipes are based on The Sibelius (finnisch violist, composer) Monument, resembling organ pipes, is made of welded steel with over 600 pipes and with the bust of the composer on one side. The monument is one of Helsinki's (capital of Finland, homebase of nightwish) most popular statues and one of the most well-known tourist attractions.
Oh very cool thanks for the info! 👏👏👏
On board for all future night wish Reactions! Job well done!
😃👏👏👏👏👏🫶
Great reaction
I want to suggest you:
-Everdream (wacken 2013)
Enjoy your journey with the amazing music by this symphonic metal band
🤘
Welcome back!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!
Floor is probably the best fit for Nightwish now. Tarja sang the songs in a very operatic style, then Annette was more pop and struggled to perform Tarja's songs and now Floor sings everything written for them plus she has given Tuomas chance to stretch his compositions and her vocals. I believe the tenth album is on it's way. And of course Floor has released one single "Fire" and a second coming out on Friday called "Storm". Can't wait.
Great comments as always!!!! I love your appreciation for music as a whole, production, skill, technicality, and showmanship! Your reactions when you hear a part you like is so genuine. That’s what I love about you!
Loved and subbed. Now check out Angelina Jordan, age 13, reinventing Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen loved her version so much they gave her the rights to it, unheard of in the industry. ruclips.net/video/qF0JV28vgLw/видео.html
AND if you really want your mind blown, check her out, age 9, in one of the 3 top music videos of all time (MJ's original Billie Jean and Ghost Love Score are the 2 others). ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html
Only few other bands have done this before Nightwish. But they are gold standard for symphonic Metal.
I love this review because you are already familiar with Floor but not the band. Floor usually (and rightfully) steals the show, So you focusing on the other members is AWESOME! They are all very talented. Toumas is the keyboardist and wrote like 90% of the music.
Marco is the bassist and he is supertalented. I would recommend to try "Phantom of the Opera" from the End of the Era concert. It features their original singer, Tarja, who is awesome in her own right, though not the vocal beast like Floor, but without her there would not be Floor. but the best part of this suggestion that it shows Marco off in the best possible way.
It’s my favorite song sung by Marco. Closely followed with the Islander and while your lips are still red. He’s so powerful and versatile of a singer.
Floor stands 6 feet, 1.5 inches tall in bare feet; and she's wearing 5 inch heels here.....
The guy on the bass is Marko. If you want to see him in full bloom, you should check out "The Islander - Live at Tempere" where he does a song on his own while the other band members take a break. I promise you will not regret that viewing.
Most singers sing what they can...Floor sings whatever she wants.
Oh man, Aurora, Snarky puppy, now Nightwish... This is quickly becoming my favorite channel on youtube. Insightful commentary on great music, I don't know what more I could ask!
Thank you so much my friend!!! 😊😊😊
Appreciate the reaction. I have no musical literacy at all - when I first saw this, almost by accident, I knew it was special but couldn't express *why*.
Now I know better because of the input of expert/industry voices.
Yes "that guy" on the bass (Marko Hietala) has a great look. Just wait until you find out what else he brings to the table....! =)
Great reaction and nice comments!
No pitch correction, there is a video about this same song where Wings of Pegasus guy checks if pitch correction used: ruclips.net/video/IncK8u6jFSM/видео.html
I met Marco many years ago!! He's hella cool!!
you should check out Engergize Me by Floor's first band After Forvever, and you will understand why
i was so stocked when I learned she had joined Nightwish...I has tickets to see my first Nightwish show in Austin, TX , Oct of 2012. It was her 3rd show and first performance of Ghost Love Score.....been mezmerized ever since
"Oh wow....."
Nightwish fans - "wait for it....."
Ayyyyy great choise man! The bass player Marko can sing too. You should definitely check out their take on The Phantom of Opera from 2005 with their original singer Tarja Turunen. It’s an awesome rock opera duet between Tarja and Marko!
Love from Finland!
Thank you for the reaction. I love this band, and even hearing this song m a n y times, it still gets me 💛❤ Tuomas is the genius behind the lyrics and "this guy" we all love, is Marko. Who btw has killer vocals too. You will see .. maybe in next song you react too. Subbed! 😊 And greetings from Finland 💙🤍
Thank you Amaria! 😊😊😊
Sabayon, Delian and Nightwish together…. That sounds like my type of concert! Excellent reaction Jeff. I really appreciate your knowledge but also your enthusiasm and fun approach. New subscriber to join you on your (new) Nightwish journey. Gabriel will give you plenty of great suggestions.
Thank you David! 😊😊😊👏👏👏
You will like"Epica" as well....
Oh, you love bass player. You have no idea, yet...😉
Storytime (Wacken 2013) is usually good next step. With Nightwish, everyone should throw manuals, playbooks and genre-this-genre-that jargons out the window. They will surprise, every single time.
NIGHTWWISH ARMY IN THE HOUSE WELCOME N AND ALL THETHE SHOW
Follow Gabriel's path!
‘Checked all the boxes! Solid review! Thank you! 🤟🏻👍🏻🤙🏻
Thank you! 😊
Hey man! I noticed you're a music producer, so I have an independent band that has no label: Bloodywood! They are an Indian metal band from New Delhi, India.
They have a new album that's only been out since mid-February, called Rakshak. I would recommend the following:
1) Endurant -- a track about bullying
2) Jee Veerey -- a track about overcoming depression and suicide
3) Aaj -- a track about getting out of complacency and being a better person
As for instruments, Bloodywood does use the traditional instruments of India, like the dhol drum and sitar.
Go check 'em out!
Nightwish were formed in Kitee, Finland, in 1997 by keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen.Producer,arranger,composer of this band.
Yes you right……GLS Wacken 2013 is the gateway “drug” to a wonderfully high Nightwish “TRIP”
Enjoy. 💥💥💥💥
One word wrt to Floor’s on point and accurate singing. Theirs a professional musician on RUclips “Wings of Pegasus” who scientifically analysis vocals through spectrum graphs. He was blown away by Floor singing GLS and found NO autotune whatsoever. You can search him. 💥💥
😂🤣😂
So ,....the Spell is cast .... Ultimate Floorgasm !!!!
The Guys :
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
Marko Hietala "The Viking" is a Finnish heavy metal vocalist, bassist and songwriter (sadly not part of the band now, but there is hope, that he will come back).
Internationally, best known as the former bassist, male vocalist and secondary composer to Tuomas Holopainen, of the symphonic metal band Nightwish. He was also the vocalist and bassist as well as composer and lyricist for the heavy metal band Tarot. He was also a member of the super-group Northern Kings, and portrayed one of the main characters in Ayreon's 2013 album The Theory of Everything.
Emppu Vuorinen the Electric Hobbit and trickster (Finnish guitarist, most famous for being a founding member of Nightwish and occasional songwriter).
Vuorinen is primarily a rhythm player, often supporting the keyboard or orchestral parts of Nightwish songs. However, he plays lead melodies and solos as well. Vuorinen's solo techniques usually include alternate picking, tapping, sliding, legato, and minor to extreme whammy bar use; he also employs sweep picking, although very rarely. His solos are more melodic than those of most metal bands, but he sometimes shreds....NIGHTWISH - Romanticide (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) !!!!!
Jukka "The Pirate" Nevalainen is the former drummer in the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish (left for health reasons, but is still a member behind the scenes).
He Is famous among Nightwish fans for wearing a bandana on his head, even during shows, his energetic drumming style, and for his spinning of his drumsticks. Joined Nightwish at the age of 17.
AND THERE IS ONE MORE.....
Let's see haw far and how long can you go .....
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
Haynes, Sabaton's drummer, is Floor's husband.
Talking about epic...greatest show on earth at Tampere 2015 🤔😊
I don't understand why it is such a surprise that a professional singer can really sing!!!
Are we really dumbed down that bad over the past 5 decades?
Of course Floor has the gift/curse of being a HSP, which makes it easy for her to put extra emotions in her voice
while singing a composition like "The poet and the pendulum".
Floor worked very hard to get where she is now, and she reached that point only with her education as a singer. ;-) if you know what I mean.
It is sad but it’s the world we live it. With the advent of digital recording the mediocre can sound breathtaking. That’s why it’s surprising when someone comes along who has “done the work”. 😊
@@StrateleStudios exactly I remember a performance of a "star" next to Stevie Nicks at the Grammys that was awful
Be nice. No reason to be rude. Shame on you. The Army does not act like this!
Not ok!
Nightwish Army, North America Midwest, children of the corn division reporting for duty!
@@LadyAragorn1 I think you reacted to the wrong TV commercial promoting strange "medication" and you paid a doctor to get a subscription for that crap.
And I want my rainbow back.
There is a 6/8, 6/8, 5/8, 6/8 and 4/4 ,4/4, 3/4, 4/4 part in the beginning with call backs later. Simple but cool.
Love those little meter changes
Tuomas, writes the music, arranges, and Marco, Floor, Empu and Jukka gave coloraboration However Floor is the 3rd. interation of lead vocalists.
Great comments as always!!!! I love your appreciation for music as a whole, production, skill, technicality, and showmanship! Your reactions when you hear a part you like is so genuine. That’s what I love about you!
Thank you so much AM!!! 😊😊😊
you can feel the energy everytime this band is on stage. presence dialed up to 11. you can see and feel that they have so much fun, appreciate their fans, on top of the phenomenal performance. for me especially floor is such a positive presence. she always makes me smile when she's performing.
She's a vocal wizzard, who isn't blow away by that woman should visit a doctor but can he cure?..
Everythings right here, the bands first class performance, her incredible vocal performance is pure magic, everything's so captivating.
At Wacken 2013 GLS, Floor was the ultimate seductress, capturing hearts and souls. The Valkyrie magic leads to inescapable adoration for Floor, which draws her devotees into the whole Nightwish journey from Tarja, through Anette to Floor herself. Your ‘advantage’ was having prior knowledge of Nightwish , you refer to Wishmaster, you refer to the overall brilliance of the band as a whole. I’m sure you can understand the impact of this particular performance on someone , like me, totally new to Nightwish, but now addicted.
Check out the official video for Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red. Marko is awesome.
I would like to hear "Song of Myself" next time: ruclips.net/video/lQu5QjidHWg/видео.html
Just follow Gabriel! You can't go wrong then...
I just saw his awesome comment! 💥🎉🎊👍🤘👏
🤩👍💥💯
"Hey, Hey, Hey, Heey" (= some of her arm movement) = Proper crowd control moment captured.
Indeed they are tight AF on stage. Whether it's a smaller venue for few hundred people or huge set up for tens of thousands in the audience.
Really cool reaction män. Keep on rockin with this magical band.
Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮 🥶 💯 💙
Thanks Jaska!!!

This iteration of the band was probably performance wise the best. Floor had been fronting bands since her teens and was now comfortable with the band and so could augment that and so could the others play off of her. The thing about Floor that most people miss is she is very good at focus control. Because she can dominate the stage when she chooses she is very good at letting that focus shift when she wants to. Much like her singing she allows her performance to highlight the music while controlling it.
But something has to be said about the crew also. They absolutely mesh with the band as well.
You must take step more with Nightwish and react The Greatist Show On Earth, with Richard Dawkins, in Wembley or in Tampere.
check out Kamelot. so Many good songs, the black halo, sacrimony, memento mori, edge of paradise, center of the universe.... just to name a few
Tuomas Holopainen is perhaps THE artistic composer / arranger / lyricist of our time. His is the guiding hand behind the performances of Nightwish. Nightwish does not merely play songs. They present you with artistic masterpieces and without explanation. Tuomas has said that it's up to you to figure it out. The beauty of Tuomas' genius is that it is unconstrained. He goes where his muse and his soul leads him. This leaves some behind, but that is to be expected. The entire album of Human :||: Nature for example - both CDs - is a masterpiece, and Tuomas stands easily in the company of modern composers like Sibelius and Nielsen, Ralph Vaughn Williams and Karl Orff, Hans Zimmer and Thomas Bergersen. The second CD of Human :||: Nature in particular is breathtaking and at times exquisitely, heartbreakingly beautiful.
For real insight into Tuomas Holopainen and Nightwish, listen to the Buenos Aires performance of Dead Boys Poem.
Then listen to the Tampere performance of The Greatest Show on Earth. No one else writes and performs like this No one.
You got to see Floor (ex delain singer) Charlotee Wessels and Joakim of Sabaton... Lucky you... Floor is hitched to Sabatons drummer Hannes Van Dahl. They have a 5 year old.
I know the secret of ghost love score its about an orgasme think about it......
🫨
Once in a while my playlist shows this performance, usually nowadays as a reaction vid. I just can’t help but click on it and take 20 minutes to enjoy the feck out of it. Every. Damn. Time.
Great reaction and fantastic analysis. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much Shawn!
There actually were no bands before them.
Nightwish and Within Temptation started about the same time, I think. 1996-97 but Nightwish was the band that broke trough.¨
Theyre both the pioneers and the golden standard.
Tuomas Holopainen - the keyboard player - writes all music and lyrics. The orchestral backing tracks were arranged by Pip Williams and performed by the Looking Glass Orchestra, part of the London Symphony Orchestra.
Thansk a lot, welcome to Nightwish
Thumos The Keyboard Player Writes All The Songs ! He is a Master ! Watch THE POET AND THE PENDULUM & THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH ( version with the fireworks ) Research Both Songs Before Watching Them OK, Special Meaning for Both These Masterpieces Of Song Writing By Thumos...
I would recommend you watch Floor doing Phantom of the Opera on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. She performs with one of her idols Henk Poort. He played the phantom in the Dutch version of the show. This will show your Floors real vocal range.
Thnx 4 this. Go on with the stuff. Welcome to the Nightwish army^^.
Please listen to Song of myself at Wacken. And, i am sure this will leave you speachless, the Gratest show on earth at Tampere.
Due to Marco's voice , the wiking bassman, give The phantom of the opera a try,
the"old" Nightwish singer Tarja will show her quality as well. Peace from Germany and please stay save
Nightwish has made so much good music, this is just one of many good tracks 🙂
Suggestion .... Septicflesh live from Mexico with live orchestra and choirs.... Anubis or vampire from Nazareth
Then Dimmu Borgir live wacken with orchestra and choirs . Any song .
Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole...It only gets better.
Nightwish and Epica set the standard for this genre. I think it's matter of taste which band you prefer more.
Nightwish army Denmark reporting in 🤘
Thomas the key board player. I hear he writes all the music.
Throughly enjoyed your reaction! 🤘❤🤘 Tarja was Nightwish's original singer and co-founder, Annette was Nightwish's second singer and Floor is their third and current singer. 😁 But technically... Nightwish had 5 singers. On September 28th, 2012 a very pregnant Annette fell ill and was hospitalized. Rather than cancel the concert, Tuomas went to opening band Kamelot and asked their two backing vocalists if they would stand in for Annette and sing Nightwish's song. Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz both said yes. With lyrics in hand, both ladies joined Nightwish on stage, and put on a kick ass show!!! We were there. So, for one night, Elize & Alissa were Nightwish singers.
Wow! Great story thanks for sharing this! 👏
So... That makes seven vocalusts then, technically, since Marko and Troy must be include too... 😉
@@StrateleStudios Hey Jeff, Tuomas on keys is the composer ,writes 95% of lyrics and music, he composes the symphonic elements with the London Philharmonic, as far as Floor's vocal abilities ,my friend this was but a teeny tiny example, every song from this concert is standard setting and a seminal event, her Beste Zangers 2019 performance was a pivotal event for herself and Nightwish, her RUclips covers are mind blowing , her previous 2 bands AfterForever & ReVamp shows her talent was evident even then and the road to NW was inevitable, cheers and great reaction!

@@nicod1361 great resources my friend, thank you! 🎊
Yes. This was shortly before Anette and Nightwish went separate ways. Then they called Floor… and the rest is history - you need to watch the documentary „Please learn the setllist in 48 hours“.
Tuomas does the writing for the group.
its a Master Piece
You need to check out the phantom of the opera by Nighwish, that's with their original vocalist and Marco (the one with the beard) sings there too 👀
Thanks, Jeff. These are the intro time signatures, per bar: [6/8, 6/8, 5/8, 6/8] (played 6 times) , then [4/4, 4/4, 3/4, 4/4] (played 4 times), then steady 4/4 for the vocal entry.
I didn’t expect to here meter shifts in this genre so it was a nice surprise!
@@StrateleStudios This genre of Metal has a few bands that like the proggy side. The Dutch band Epica is considered NW's heavier sibling. Also fronted by a Soprano.
