Yes I am aware that the video is flipped. Im having issues with copyright so im doing everything I can to not get things blocked. I mainly had this flipped for another video that I uploaded earlier and forgot to flip it back for Nightwish. I know that Nightwish wont block my videos though. Ive already had 1 video blocked worldwide today so I flipped the image on my Warning video so that one didnt get blocked too. I hope yall understand 😊💖
There is an extension for web browsers called "Enhancer for RUclips". One of its options is to flip the video horizontal and/or vertical (or both). I'm sure there are other web browser tools who can also do this, but your viewers themselves can easily flip back the video's direction should they feel the need for this.
Its fine. We get it. Its not always easy to upload reaction videos. Every reactor has his/hers problems now and then. We all know the video and lyrics anyway. 😄 You're doing a great job. 🤘😎
I actually really like that little mirror view, it's kind of made it a little different! I will give you 2 suggestions. For a uplifting "ballade" Ever Dream is the one, If you want to go on the Metal side of Nightwish; i would go next with Song of Myself. For both songs the Wacken 2013 version is fire !!!.
Emppu is the guitarist and he always seems to be happy. He along with the keyboardist Tuomas are the only original members of the band. He really seems like a delightful person, a bit of a prankster, but always comes across as a joy to be around.
Mind blowing that the lyrics were written by someone to whom English is not his first language and yet those of us who have been speaking it all our lives often struggle with them. Tuomas uses a lot of poetical imagery and often the songs are linked to others on the album. Phrases like 'ocean born' and 'dead boy' refer to him: he wanted to be an oceanographer and the theme of the particular album was about mourning the loss of the innocence of his youth
I have to look up at least one word per album even though I'm a native speaker and I was an English major. Perfume of the Timeless has two, but both are Greek, so they don't count. Lol
@robertsheeler321 I think the "windmilling" is the trademark of (maybe invented by?) Blackie Lawless from the American band W.A.S.P. Watch their official 1984 music video "I Wanna Be Somebody" it's near the end of the video.
The lead guitar is Emmpu, and yes, we should all enjoy our job as much as he does. The drummer here is Jukka. He had to step down for medical reasons and Kai is their new drummer. Both are amazing in their own way. Tuomas Holopainen is the songwriter and keyboardist. Marko is on Bass, and Troy is special instruments. And, of course, our Valkyrie Queen, Floor Jansen. All are huge, towering talents.
It’s about the creativity and storytelling abilities of mankind, and probably of Tuomas himself. Also, the innocence and awe of childhood, a recurring theme with Tuomas. Emppu, the guitarist is usually smiling, having fun, and a bit of a prankster. Keep exploring Nightwish! Maybe start out a little bit softer… with Ever Dream.
Keep calm, you are doing very well! It is a very good idea to follow the suggestions of the fans in the comments. The links are in the 2 huge messages from the "Community" page of my YT channel.
Hi Gabriel. I was hoping you'd comment on this. Maybe you could paste the links for her in a message here as to avoid complications? Only a suggestion. 😊❤️🤘🤘
I agree. I suggest to all NW reactors to go through this 2013 concert before moving forward or backwards in time. It provides the perfect foundation for those new to NW.
Hi. I already did both of them.🥰 I love that you do these reactions so fast.😍😍😍 I whis you to chek these songs too: Sleeping Sun, Ghost River, Song of myself and Nemo. ❤
This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you witnessed a second time a "Dutch Windmill" , and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! Floor has 3 distinct styles !!!! Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bull whip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. Awesome tune , although it is kind of a pop/rockish sound (originally sung by Anette, the second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Including this "Operatic" part, what was originally done by children's choir because vocal limitations on their second singer (Great singer also, I might add), but Floor has none of that "Limit". NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘.
Trust me, you don't need (to get) the lyrics to understand the song. The music is telling the story as well, and Floor uses her voice, her face and body language. You can read this all, what you are hearing and watching, and you totally understand.
Love your reactions. Emppu is the guitarist that always smiles. He is the jokester of the band and fun to watch. Next up, Ever Dream from the same concert. Marco, the bassist, will give you a bit of a surprise.
In my opinion, the empty crib of Peter Pan means the start of Peter's story (not of the book) when he decides to follow his imagination to escape a pre-determined future/life. IIRC, when asked about his past, Peter says to Wendy he overheard a statement of his father who wanted him to became a doctor / lawyer / politician or whatever society-wise respected and well-established job would have been at that time, and after thinking "Nope! Not for me!", he decided to flew away to Never Never Land. 👋🇮🇹🖖
You're not ready yet, but when the time comes and you react to "the poet and the pendulum" it's... absolutely essential (even if you don't like to normally )that you look up the meaning behind the song, or you'll never fully understand the impact.
@@lanaeshonestopinion because of the huge backstory that comes with this song. I think it is the best to stay with the whole Wacken concert, for the begining.
Good one. Just keep going with Wacken Ghost River next ? You might like to listen to Beste Zangers 2019 too, it's a dutch tv show where 6 or 7 singers sing each others songs or favourites Floor being from a metal band wasn't exactly well known to them before but she was after.
Nice reaction, I've listened to nightwish thousands of times, I still don't know the lyrics, I just love the vibe and the feeling I get from the music. Your cats are cute 👍
Your exuberance has me hooked. I was once a huge part of Nightwish Army but haven't seen any reactions in months. I'm happy to see new blood discovering the magic! Time to learn the band's names... "that guy" you enjoy so, is guitarist Emppu Vuorinen. He's 5'4" tall, is a twin, and is a black belt in martial arts. Bass player and vocalist us the Godfather of Finnish metal, Marko Hietala (pron: HEE-ah-Tallah)... now solo and working again w his original band, Tarot ft. his brother Zachary on guitar. His voice is legendary!
Welcome to symphonic metal and the amazing Nightwish . Love your reactions , I was the same when I first heard them and I have now seen them live too in the UK and they blew my mind . I hope you realise there is now no escape from this awesome rabbit hole enjoy the ride 😊
Empu's smile is priceless, can you imagine if you had Empu and Akane (Band maid drumer) in the same band, There could not be any band with more smiles than that!!
Thanks for sharing your genuine reaction to a song about the beauty of storytelling and imagination. The song suggests that within each person is a "crib of Peter Pan," a reference to the timeless children's story, which holds the potential to bring stories to life and provide a refuge from reality. P.S. Emppu, the guitarist, is a real showman & is always doing something funny and/or playing tricks with especially Floor. P.S. It seems that smart Pepper also likes Nightwish.,
This DVD in the German city of Wacken a Floor was a guest singer to finish the tour. No song was recorded with Floor's voice and only in 2015 did we have an album with Floor on vocals in the studio.
This concert was magical, Wacken Open Air had a huge list of bands, Alice Cooper was on just before. "Fairytale vibe", I love the bass intro (That's Marko, with long hair and long beard). The lead purple guitar, smiling at the crowd; Emppu, is a height contrast with Floor. "Meshing together a bunch of Fairytales". The imagination of Tuomas, on keyboards. You could pull up the lyrics on another device, but you might get drawn into reading that! The drummer, wow, Jukka (Yukka). For those of us who have seen this hundreds of times (yep, true), we notice the audience with National flags, the guys with the pink inflatable guitar (The Three Musketeers!).
A group that you may not know either, here is a triology of them: MONO INC. - Welcome To Hell MONO INC. feat. Eric Fish - A Vagabond's Life MONO INC. - Long Live Death Another band from Germany that puts a lot of heart into their music. The frontman was a drummer in his old band, he was looking for a female singer and now look what has become of it.
The creepy (Halloween movie?) vibe at the start is intentional. The Nightwish movie "Imaginaerum" will explain - even the trailer! Yes! Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty (the kiss), Mary Poppins (chimneys and moonlight), "The Kite that went to the Moon" - E. Sharp 1899.... .... Childhood innocence and wonder - why grow out of it? Jukka "Yooka" on drums is a beast! So active and so into the music! edited for typo.
Hello Lanae, this is the first time I've discovered you here on RUclips. I've been following Nightwish for 10 years now, I'm no longer a member of the youth myself and I'm from Germany. The lyrics of Nightwish are indeed not easy, but they are damn profound. Nightwish helped me to learn and understand English, but they also helped me to understand my own language, German. Nightwish can also change your life, because they don't just make music, they bring a message. Please listen to "the greates Show on Earth", you need a lot of time, it's more than one song. Now you have discovered metal from Europe, I also recommend the band "Beyond the Black" from Germany. I had tears in my eyes when I saw how you like the music of Nightwish, how you react, simply fantastic.
I love your joy. So do I. Every song feels uplifting to me even when the content is angey. Floor and Emppu are smiling and crying together on stage. ❣️🤘Please do Tribal 2023 live compilation compilation.
Wacken 2013 starring Nightwish and co-starring the 80,000 is..wow!! The energy this band always creates with their crowd connection is incredible!! Welcome aboard 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!!
Not just yet, but further on in your journey, ‘I want my tears back’ live in Buenos Aries in 2019. A very happy and dancing Floor. The crowd went berserk!
Hey, can you check out Nightwish scaretale live with Annette Olzen the second singer, and then live with Floor Jansen in Helsinki festival in 2012, awesome request 😊
I think it's wise to react to Wacken 2013 gig because that gig was absolutely legendary. Every song performed there is still the best performance of the song ever, live and studio versions included. My personal favorite is Ghost River from the same show. In addition to Wacken 2013 songs, you should also react to The Poet And The Pendulum from Wembley 2015 show and The Greatest Show On Earth from Tampere 2015 show (the latter song is not egoistic but it's a song about a book with identical title).
@@lanaeshonestopinion yes, i understand. my experience: you will have no problem with NW-songs on RUclips concerning copyright. sometimes reactors have a problem with Beste Zangers-Stuff with Floor.
One fun fact is that this song was written for Anette, their 2nd singer. And while she's a good singer, she couldn't really do that operatic part in the middle, leaving it to the recorded singers. Floor, however, is VERY capable, so that was a new element she brought to their performance, to the fans' delight. (Same with the big finish to GLS - that was her contribution, too.) Rock on!🤘😎👍
ok, first off I agree with the other commenters about researching first "The Poet an Pendulum" it willhelp you, and good news bad news-yes as others have said I think Empuu is the glue that keeps their spirits up,the only time I can remember him being somber is, the solo on "Dead Boys Poem, live Buenos Aires", now the bad or sad news, the drummer (Jukka) is still with them but not their drummer (health issues) and the bass player/vocals (Marco) is also not with them also health, the new drummer is Kai and new Bass is another Jukka both from the band "Wintersun", I just mention that so that when you venture away from Wacken to their other songs you may be puzzled but have no fear you'll still think each next one you hear is your new best favorate, that doesn't change. LOL
Another great reaction! Yeah, Gabriel's list he used to include in the comments directly, but I reckon he moved it to his "Community" tab because RUclips's comment window has a character limit, and he had to use several linked replies to fit it all. I've been down that road too and know what a pain in the doopa it becomes after a while. ... For a minute there, I thought I was in Australia because Floor's windmills were spinning clockwise instead of counterclockwise! 🤣🤣 ....... And hi again, Pepper! Loved his cameo this time. Pepper has a ginger cousin!!?? Cuteness overload! 😻😻
You are reacting to two of my favorite bands. Nightwish and The Warning. Found them both to be the best LIVE performers I have ever seen. Your GLS reaction, well, it's been a while since I saw someone react to NW the same way I did, except I cried bigger tears. Welcome to the adventure!!!
Nightwish Army Southwest Michigan Division checking in. Your reaction showed up on my radar and I look forward to following you as you continue to discover more of this incredible band.
If you like the drummer so much (as do I), check out Everdream from the same concert. His use of the double bass in the final part of that song is just out of this world. As regards lyrics: I can only speak for myself of course but although lyrics are quite important to me, the first time I hear a song is not the moment for focusing on lyrics. The first time I hear a song I just let it all come over me and I look at the lyrics when I’m a bit more familiar with the song. So I completely understand you when you say that there’s so much to take in that you can’t focus on the lyrics (yet). Love your enthusiasm! Keep it up! 😎

if you want to hear Jukka really drum, listen to Planet Hell from the end of and era video. It will introduce you to Tarja, and there is a studio version with Annette. his drumming is phenomenal.
No doubt that eventually you will come to Poet and the Pendulum. I strongly urge you to do a little bit of homework before watching. It will make so much more sense knowing where Toumas was coming from when he wrote it. Nightwish Army MN Division checking in!

Enjoyed your reaction and your energy. One suggestion regarding the lyrics would be to just listen to the performance and enjoy it and then come back later and read the lyrics on camera and talk about what they mean to you. I have seen several other reactors use this formula which allows for a deep dive into the lyrics. Given how poetic Tuomas's lyrics usually are it is time well spent. This song is from their Imaginaerium album, a concept album based on an old composer on his death bed reliving the memories of his life. One of Tuomas's favorite topics or themes in his music is lost innocence. As a poet and artist Tuomas values the sense of wonder and imagination that innocent children have. In Storytime the composer is remembering the joy he got from childhood tales, thus the references to Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland (Tuomas often uses literary references in his lyrics and as inspiration for songs). It is through these childhood stories that we discover ourselves and who we are (I am the story that will read you real). Song is inspired by a popular British Christmas movie The Snowman. Storytime" was born when Tuomas wondered why no-one had made a remake of the film, and pondered on what his version of the score to the scene in which "Walking in the Air" plays would sound like. Tuomas "How would it feel to take a midnight flight with a snowman through the most wondrous landscapes, like in the classic animated Yuletide film? The meaning of our very existence is created though stories, tales and imagination. They are at the very core of humanity." Walking on the Air is a very popular Christmas song in the UK and Finland and Nightwish did a beautiful cover of it with their first singer Tarja that is worth reacting to. ruclips.net/video/9icKP1b44TA/видео.htmlsi=a7uPqKXv_VRsBsQe
😂😂 Just enjoy the videos. There is so much in this beautiful music it will drive you insane😂😂 But you are lucky between Gabriel and the Night Wish army They will guide you in your journey.
I had some Postmodern Jukebox music playing in one of my garage videos and RUclips picked up on it. It really just depends on the band, some restrict the video flipped or not, some restrict the audio, and some restrict everything. I'm just glad PMJ, Nightwish, Epica and Jinjer are pretty good about leaving things open.
I would encourage you to go back to the comments on your Ghost Love Score video and read the whole comment Gabriel (the defacto general of the Nightwish Army) posted. You will get a concise history of the band and a great list of videos to follow to give you a great taste of just how diverse this band is in it's music.
There's actually a video of this with the second singer before Floor and her name is Annette. It's still Nightwish but before the Valkyrie Queen as I call her. It's still a great song and she was a great singer. (still is)🌹
Unfortunately Jukka, the drummer left the band after this. He was suffering with severe insomnia and left for health reasons. He is still involved with the band on a management level. Marko Hietala has also left the band, he is the bass guitarist. The last two albums they have released are very different to this kind of music, the era from Ghost love score (2004) through to endless forms most beautiful (2015) are the best IMO. Imaginaerum, the album released just before Wacken 2013 is a magical kind of fairytale scenario. Storytime and also last ride of the day are from this album. The band also made a movie at the same time, containing some of the songs, You have no idea the size of the rabbit hole you have just entered.
Whatever singer you watch with this band, definitely stick with live versions. They sound better live than in studio. I know that sounds crazy, but it's true
Personally I think you should do everything from this Wacken show, then onto other shows like Wembley 2015, Tampere 2016, Buenos Aires 2018, Hellfest 2022 and then go back to 2005 End of an Era with original singer Tarja Tarunnen. Of course there's also a whole load of music videos worth taking a look at. As for your next reaction, maybe check out opening song Dark Chest of Wonders, it's totally epic 🤘
Great Recap:) and if you play the song Vid flipp horizontally, i wouldnt mind:) like many mentioned, we normally know which Songs from what Concert comes up by the Humming of the Stage Monitors before the first Note is even played. We are here for YOUR Emotions:) . Lyrics, well perhaps read them before? just an Idea, so you arent to distracted from the thing you obviously love Most, the Music and the Performance:) Greetings from Gismo, Lillith, Sascha and Ivy. To Pepper, They only are interested in other Cats:) Who is the second Floorporsche , Red white:)? And tell your Gent to not throw His Shoes and Jeans to the Floor:) you never know what the Cat will do to them:D Entertaining recap thx:) STay Healthy Metalhead, Frankonia, Germany

I like to say that this is my favourite Nightwish song - except for all the others.
My favorite Nightwish song lately is the one I am listening to at the time!
I love this band.
@ michaelnolan , 😂I hear ya !
Emppu is the guitarist and he always seems to be happy. He along with the keyboardist Tuomas are the only original members of the band.

Yes and Marmeids calling and so on... That is great song too.❣️
And sung by Floor whose first language is not English.😁
I have to look up at least one word per album even though I'm a native speaker and I was an English major. Perfume of the Timeless has two, but both are Greek, so they don't count. Lol
@@HandleyR To the Dutch, English was for I think 70 years already kinda like second language. Before and know third is German. Without accent almost.
Floor's hair wipping is called Windmilling , (She's Dutch the home of windmills) The Guiter player is 5' 4" Emppu , he's the prankster and funny guy
@robertsheeler321 I think the "windmilling" is the trademark of (maybe invented by?) Blackie Lawless from the American band W.A.S.P. Watch their official 1984 music video "I Wanna Be Somebody" it's near the end of the video.

Emppu is fricking adorable, but how could you look out on 82,000 people engaging with your music at that level without grinning like a Cheshire cat? 😁

Floor has 3 distinct styles !!!!
Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bull whip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch.

The smiling guy is Emppu (EM-poo) the guitarist and prankster of the band. This band has an ocean of stuff from the last 25 years.
We like Emppu as well, very good lead guitarist and important longterm soul of NW.
Trust me, you don't need (to get) the lyrics to understand the song. The music is telling the story as well, and Floor uses her voice, her face and body language. You can read this all, what you are hearing and watching, and you totally understand.

that energy she has is quite unmistakable and they have
It's about the birth of imagination, fantasies, dreams, fairytales,....
f.i. the empty crib of Peter Pan... the story wasn't written yet.
In my opinion, the empty crib of Peter Pan means the start of Peter's story (not of the book) when he decides to follow his imagination to escape a pre-determined future/life.
IIRC, when asked about his past, Peter says to Wendy he overheard a statement of his father who wanted him to became a doctor / lawyer / politician or whatever society-wise respected and well-established job would have been at that time, and after thinking "Nope! Not for me!", he decided to flew away to Never Never Land.
👋🇮🇹🖖
You are one of us you love all the things we love about this band!
You're not ready yet, but when the time comes and you react to "the poet and the pendulum" it's... absolutely essential (even if you don't like to normally )that you look up the meaning behind the song, or you'll never fully understand the impact.
She's a couple dozen songs away from The Poet and the Pendulum plus the recherche of the back story is a must
I've seen the comment "I'm not ready yet" a lot when it comes to that song. I'm not sure I understand. Why wouldn't I be ready? ❤
@@lanaeshonestopinion because of the huge backstory that comes with this song. I think it is the best to stay with the whole Wacken concert, for the begining.
This band always exudes a great mood and huge positive energy at their gigs. After the concerts, people leave charged with strong life energy. 🙂🤘
Poete and pendulum and greatest show on earth , it's master peace .🤘
Whith FLOOR, the greatest show on earth live in Tampere ❤️🤘.

Certainly
Definitely Beste Zangers is a must. Floor crushes it. Shows her versatility. And her personality shines. her every track was awesome.

"Meshing together a bunch of Fairytales". The imagination of Tuomas, on keyboards.
You could pull up the lyrics on another device, but you might get drawn into reading that!
The drummer, wow, Jukka (Yukka).
For those of us who have seen this hundreds of times (yep, true), we notice the audience with National flags,
the guys with the pink inflatable guitar (The Three Musketeers!).

Ma'am, Floor is a goddess; it is simply undeniable just how incredibly amazing the woman truly is!
Love y'all, Nightwish Army! ❤😊❤
A group that you may not know either, here is a triology of them:
MONO INC. - Welcome To Hell
MONO INC. feat. Eric Fish - A Vagabond's Life
MONO INC. - Long Live Death
Another band from Germany that puts a lot of heart into their music.
The frontman was a drummer in his old band, he was looking for a female singer and now look what has become of it.
I love the cat cameo. And of course I love the name.
Dark Chest of Wonders is the first song in this same concert. Same vibe as Story Time and fantastic opener!
The creepy (Halloween movie?) vibe at the start is intentional. The Nightwish movie "Imaginaerum" will explain - even the trailer! Yes! Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty (the kiss), Mary Poppins (chimneys and moonlight), "The Kite that went to the Moon" - E. Sharp 1899.... .... Childhood innocence and wonder - why grow out of it? Jukka "Yooka" on drums is a beast! So active and so into the music! edited for typo.
Seems like you really enjoy music of Nightwish. Great reaction again. Next "something little softer":" Everdream" from the same concert?
Hello Lanae,
this is the first time I've discovered you here on RUclips. I've been following Nightwish for 10 years now, I'm no longer a member of the youth myself and I'm from Germany.
The lyrics of Nightwish are indeed not easy, but they are damn profound. Nightwish helped me to learn and understand English, but they also helped me to understand my own language, German.
Nightwish can also change your life, because they don't just make music, they bring a message.
Please listen to "the greates Show on Earth", you need a lot of time, it's more than one song.
Now you have discovered metal from Europe, I also recommend the band "Beyond the Black" from Germany.
I had tears in my eyes when I saw how you like the music of Nightwish, how you react, simply fantastic.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your first #floorgasm many more to come
I love your joy. So do I. Every song feels uplifting to me even when the content is angey.
Floor and Emppu are smiling and crying together on stage. ❣️🤘Please do Tribal 2023 live compilation compilation.
Just an FYI, it is pronounced "Vah-ken". In German that W is pronounced as a V.
Many Nightwish songs are about imagination and keeping or finding again your inner child. I love this band, great you do too!
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done again
Wacken 2013 starring Nightwish and co-starring the 80,000 is..wow!!
The energy this band always creates with their crowd connection is incredible!!
Welcome aboard 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!!
Not just yet, but further on in your journey, ‘I want my tears back’ live in Buenos Aries in 2019. A very happy and dancing Floor. The crowd went berserk!
Keep them coming,loving your reactions.'greatest show on earth' next???
Hey, can you check out Nightwish scaretale live with Annette Olzen the second singer, and then live with Floor Jansen in Helsinki festival in 2012, awesome request 😊
I think it's wise to react to Wacken 2013 gig because that gig was absolutely legendary. Every song performed there is still the best performance of the song ever, live and studio versions included. My personal favorite is Ghost River from the same show. In addition to Wacken 2013 songs, you should also react to The Poet And The Pendulum from Wembley 2015 show and The Greatest Show On Earth from Tampere 2015 show (the latter song is not egoistic but it's a song about a book with identical title).
short info: your screen with NW is mirrored at least the one you show to public....wrong side.
Yes i know. Its to help with copyright. Since i did that, this song didnt get copyrighted like the other 2 I posted.
@@lanaeshonestopinion yes, i understand. my experience: you will have no problem with NW-songs on RUclips concerning copyright. sometimes reactors have a problem with Beste Zangers-Stuff with Floor.
With the reversed screen, the lyrics are there at the bottom of the screen, and are mirrored as well.
Pepper is cute.
Ever dream should be next on your list 👍
Great reaction to a great song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Try Everdream next from the same concert 🔥🔥🔥
One fun fact is that this song was written for Anette, their 2nd singer. And while she's a good singer, she couldn't really do that operatic part in the middle, leaving it to the recorded singers. Floor, however, is VERY capable, so that was a new element she brought to their performance, to the fans' delight. (Same with the big finish to GLS - that was her contribution, too.) Rock on!🤘😎👍
ok, first off I agree with the other commenters about researching first "The Poet an Pendulum" it willhelp you, and good news bad news-yes as others have said I think Empuu is the glue that keeps their spirits up,the only time I can remember him being somber is, the solo on "Dead Boys Poem, live Buenos Aires", now the bad or sad news, the drummer (Jukka) is still with them but not their drummer (health issues) and the bass player/vocals (Marco) is also not with them also health, the new drummer is Kai and new Bass is another Jukka both from the band "Wintersun", I just mention that so that when you venture away from Wacken to their other songs you may be puzzled but have no fear you'll still think each next one you hear is your new best favorate, that doesn't change. LOL
Told ya!
Oh, and BTW, it's pronounced like Vokken
Enjoy your Nightwish! journey!
Another great reaction! Yeah, Gabriel's list he used to include in the comments directly, but I reckon he moved it to his "Community" tab because RUclips's comment window has a character limit, and he had to use several linked replies to fit it all. I've been down that road too and know what a pain in the doopa it becomes after a while. ... For a minute there, I thought I was in Australia because Floor's windmills were spinning clockwise instead of counterclockwise! 🤣🤣 ....... And hi again, Pepper! Loved his cameo this time. Pepper has a ginger cousin!!?? Cuteness overload! 😻😻
They are sister kitties 😸
You are reacting to two of my favorite bands. Nightwish and The Warning. Found them both to be the best LIVE performers I have ever seen. Your GLS reaction, well, it's been a while since I saw someone react to NW the same way I did, except I cried bigger tears. Welcome to the adventure!!!
😂😂😂no one understand the lyrics from Nightwish the first couple of times😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Nightwish Army Southwest Michigan Division checking in. Your reaction showed up on my radar and I look forward to following you as you continue to discover more of this incredible band.
If you like the drummer so much (as do I), check out Everdream from the same concert. His use of the double bass in the final part of that song is just out of this world.
As regards lyrics: I can only speak for myself of course but although lyrics are quite important to me, the first time I hear a song is not the moment for focusing on lyrics. The first time I hear a song I just let it all come over me and I look at the lyrics when I’m a bit more familiar with the song.
So I completely understand you when you say that there’s so much to take in that you can’t focus on the lyrics (yet).
Love your enthusiasm! Keep it up! 😎
Also a very energetic song
NIGHTWISH - The Poet And The Pendulum
Also filled with very profound lyrics.

Another great reaction, Thank you😊👍
Choose your own path you will not go wrong.
if you want to hear Jukka really drum, listen to Planet Hell from the end of and era video. It will introduce you to Tarja, and there is a studio version with Annette. his drumming is phenomenal.
Hello Lanae! NW Army Brazil here. Your cat is so cute ❤
Nightwishalisciousness! 🤟🤪
Jukka is my fav drummer of all time.
Love your reactions. You're extremely perceptive in your insights into this band. Keep being that nerd you are.😀
No doubt that eventually you will come to Poet and the Pendulum. I strongly urge you to do a little bit of homework before watching. It will make so much more sense knowing where Toumas was coming from when he wrote it. Nightwish Army MN Division checking in!

2 of my fav songs rarely get reactions. Planet Hell and The Escapist. The Poet and the Pendulum is my fav.
I love Scaretale. No idea how I forgot that one.
Nice reaction as always, but are you aware that your fans are seeing a "flipped" image?
Yes I am. Its to help with copyright issues. Because i flipped this image, I didnt get copyrighted so it worked.
@lanaeshonestopinion Just fyi NW never blocks their videos. They love their fans that much!
Enjoyed your reaction and your energy. One suggestion regarding the lyrics would be to just listen to the performance and enjoy it and then come back later and read the lyrics on camera and talk about what they mean to you. I have seen several other reactors use this formula which allows for a deep dive into the lyrics. Given how poetic Tuomas's lyrics usually are it is time well spent.
This song is from their Imaginaerium album, a concept album based on an old composer on his death bed reliving the memories of his life. One of Tuomas's favorite topics or themes in his music is lost innocence. As a poet and artist Tuomas values the sense of wonder and imagination that innocent children have. In Storytime the composer is remembering the joy he got from childhood tales, thus the references to Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland (Tuomas often uses literary references in his lyrics and as inspiration for songs). It is through these childhood stories that we discover ourselves and who we are (I am the story that will read you real). Song is inspired by a popular British Christmas movie The Snowman. Storytime" was born when Tuomas wondered why no-one had made a remake of the film, and pondered on what his version of the score to the scene in which "Walking in the Air" plays would sound like. Tuomas "How would it feel to take a midnight flight with a snowman through the most wondrous landscapes, like in the classic animated Yuletide film? The meaning of our very existence is created though stories, tales and imagination. They are at the very core of humanity." Walking on the Air is a very popular Christmas song in the UK and Finland and Nightwish did a beautiful cover of it with their first singer Tarja that is worth reacting to. ruclips.net/video/9icKP1b44TA/видео.htmlsi=a7uPqKXv_VRsBsQe
Jukka is my favorite drummer. So animated and cool! No disrespect to Kai, the current drummer but, Jukka is the best!
Such a head banger.
👌👌🤘🤘
❤❤❤
a new view to a storytelling song. haha, we don't mind..
Your cats provided their own storytime. 😸😾
About as close as Nightwish gets to a 4/4 verse-chorus-bridge rock & roll song- and it's perfection!
Tuomas is a genius
Maybe Ever dream or Song of myself from the same concert next
😂😂 Just enjoy the videos. There is so much in this beautiful music it will drive you insane😂😂 But you are lucky between Gabriel and the Night Wish army They will guide you in your journey.
wait soon you will hear amazing tunes by Troy too😀
I had some Postmodern Jukebox music playing in one of my garage videos and RUclips picked up on it. It really just depends on the band, some restrict the video flipped or not, some restrict the audio, and some restrict everything. I'm just glad PMJ, Nightwish, Epica and Jinjer are pretty good about leaving things open.
I would encourage you to go back to the comments on your Ghost Love Score video and read the whole comment Gabriel (the defacto general of the Nightwish Army) posted. You will get a concise history of the band and a great list of videos to follow to give you a great taste of just how diverse this band is in it's music.
I saw your kitty wanted a piece of the action 🐈
There's actually a video of this with the second singer before Floor and her name is Annette. It's still Nightwish but before the Valkyrie Queen as I call her. It's still a great song and she was a great singer. (still is)🌹
Unfortunately Jukka, the drummer left the band after this. He was suffering with severe insomnia and left for health reasons. He is still involved with the band on a management level. Marko Hietala has also left the band, he is the bass guitarist. The last two albums they have released are very different to this kind of music, the era from Ghost love score (2004) through to endless forms most beautiful (2015) are the best IMO. Imaginaerum, the album released just before Wacken 2013 is a magical kind of fairytale scenario. Storytime and also last ride of the day are from this album. The band also made a movie at the same time, containing some of the songs, You have no idea the size of the rabbit hole you have just entered.
Whatever singer you watch with this band, definitely stick with live versions. They sound better live than in studio. I know that sounds crazy, but it's true
Personally I think you should do everything from this Wacken show, then onto other shows like Wembley 2015, Tampere 2016, Buenos Aires 2018, Hellfest 2022 and then go back to 2005 End of an Era with original singer Tarja Tarunnen. Of course there's also a whole load of music videos worth taking a look at. As for your next reaction, maybe check out opening song Dark Chest of Wonders, it's totally epic 🤘
The drummer is Jukka. He had to retire for health reasons.
Great Recap:) and if you play the song Vid flipp horizontally, i wouldnt mind:) like many mentioned, we normally know which Songs from what Concert comes up by the Humming of the Stage Monitors before the first Note is even played. We are here for YOUR Emotions:) . Lyrics, well perhaps read them before? just an Idea, so you arent to distracted from the thing you obviously love Most, the Music and the Performance:)
Greetings from Gismo, Lillith, Sascha and Ivy. To Pepper, They only are interested in other Cats:)
