The "pianoplayer" is Tuomas Holopainen. He is the creative genius and leader of the band. mr Holopainen writes all the songs (music and lyrics), and he is the originator of Nightwish.
The keyboard player is Tuomas Holopainen. Founder, and composer of the majority of the group's music. His ability to write epic poetry in a non-native language reminds me of Joseph Conrad, who did likewise.
I enjoy the reverse prowl muchly! I also love it when she runs her fingers through her hair towards the end as she's smiling, it's beautiful imagery. This performance has risen up the ranks as a top tier favourite for me.
Hey friend, Hellfest or Deichbrand. And this is not the,"Keyboarder " It is Tuomas Holopainen, The founder of Nightwish. He is write the Lyrics 《Poets), and 95% of the Music.
Right, if you listen and react to Nightwish that much, then you should know the members and what they do, let alone have some respect for the lady. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards, Nightwish Songwriter, Mastermind and founding member. Kai Hahto - drums (Earlier Nightwish songs have Jukka Nevalainen) Emppu Vuorinen - guitar Marko Hietala - vocalist & bassist (in this video and has now left Nightwish). Bassist is now Jukka Koskinen. And the incredible Floor Jansen on lead vocals. All amazing musicians!
This song is an absolute banger 🤘❤🔥🤘. Kai's drumming on this is just crazy ( Kai Hahto "The Human Metronome", or in my book Kai "The Machine Gun" Hahto )!!! In one interview Tuomas/Marko said that Floor has a lungs of a dolphin (That long note is 💥)!!! Plus, she holds the last note (A4) of Nightwish - Ad Astra for 17 seconds (10/6/2022 Sweden Festival). If this wasn't impressive enough, I can also add than now she's just one, I mean ONE, second short from equaling Pavarotti's longest belt ever recorded. PS: that "piano" player is: 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. The bass player and vocals: Marko Hietala "The Viking" (ex Nightwish). Guitar Wizard: 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 (notably in "Nightquest," "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion," "Romanticide," and "Gethsemane" by Nightwish, and also in "Traitor" by Tarot, for which he provided a solo). So,.... Nuff Said !!!! NWSU/FloorFan and new Subscriber 🤘😎🤘.
An Olden-Goldie is Sacrament of Wilderness. It is increddible with both Tarja and Floor. For me personally I prefer the version from the same concert as this video with Floor

If you want heavy Nightwish riffs (Emppu - from Middle Earth - is the guitarist), then in order I would say: "Dead Gardens" (remastered 2016), "Slaying the Dreamer" Iive Beunos Aires 2018), "Yours is an empty Hope" (live Wembley 2015). Love your reactions. Greetings from Melbourne Australia!
Its unrelated to this song but if you like nightwish and jinjer,you would probably enjoy Unleash the Archers.another powerhouse female vocalist in brittney slayes.i recommend the song Awakening to start.
Your cool and entertaining to watch. I'm 75 and I'm here for only Nightwish with Floor or Floor solo stuff if you ever get there. But, NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera (OFFICIAL LIVE) and Nightwish - High Hopes [HD] from their 2005 End of Era concert are exceptional. No Floor, but still mind boggling. ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop (2010) with Floor, and also 2018 NORTHWARD - While Love Died (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) with Floor will shake you up a bit. Guaranteed.
Bassist Marko has said that this is a "love song", a poetic, mythological & metaphorical love song of a man (Devil) and woman (Mermaid of the Deep Dark Ocean- the Oceanborn) where she does not return his love or seductions. "I will die for the love of the mermaid, Her seduction, beauty and scorn. Welcome to the end of your life, HAIL the OCEANBORN". This creates chaos in the Mermaids world, “Disgraced is my virginity, death has woven my wedding dress”. As the Mermaid begs “Leave me be!” the Devil says “This apathetic life must drown”. The music then becomes intense and the stage lights turn BLUE (for the Ocean) as the Siren belts out these sharp staccato notes. In the end they break up "setting the dolphins free". Their "song" is over but will “echo” and carry on, "the eternity will begin once again in peace" they both move on. Metal Musical Theater at its best!!!
Nice description. I heard Marko once say in an early interview at a Finnish Metal "conference" that Nightwish songs are Finnish folk music. I imagine Tuomas drew heavily on the local mythology which inspired much of the early music, and I think that appealed to Marko.
What a great reaction.. But it's about time you listen to Sabaton.. Swedish power metal and their drummer is Floor's husband. They make music about war history as it was, without choosing sides or glorifying. "Bismarck" the official music video is a really good start🤟🇸🇪
And here's the kicker: The song predates everyone in the band except for Tuomas (keyboards) and Emppu (guitar). If I remember right, this is off their second album, Oceanborn, which while Tarja Turunen sang the female vocals, they brought in Tapio Wilska from Finntroll and Senthian to sing the male vocals. The song is from 1998, so it definitely ages well.
I can not listen to the original version because of the male vocals (think it is Tapio), this refurbished version is the best they did, in every aspect.
And now for something completely different: Version 1: get in the wayback machine to Nightwish with their first singer, Tarja Turinen doing either "Phantom of the Opera (with Marco singing the male part) or "I Wish I had an Angel" both from the End of an Era concert [the music video for "I Wish I had an Angel" also kicks ass as they have very high production standards on the videos just like they have for the concerts]. Version 2: Floor singing something quiet (solo)--her cover of "Shallow" from the Beste Zangers TV show in 2019.
...and ' the drummer' named Kai Hahto. And as we call names: the most underrated guitarplayer in the metalmusic world is Emppu Vourinen, and the guy with the beard, sing and playing the Warwick-bass is one of the best rock singer in Europe: Marko Hietala (but since he's 2020 no longer with Nightwish😪). Jukka Koskinen from the famous finnishe band 'Wintersun' replaced him. But he doesn't sing so far. Also Kai Hahto came from 'Wintersun'. B.t.w. you must check 'Wintersun' "Sons of winter and stars" and "Time" (if not done yet...)
The "pianoplayer" is Tuomas Holopainen. He is the creative genius and leader of the band. mr Holopainen writes all the songs (music and lyrics), and he is the originator of Nightwish.
"Yours is an empty Hope" Live at WEMBLEY to see and hear Floor GROWLING in all the choruses :)
The keyboard player is Tuomas Holopainen. Founder, and composer of the majority of the group's music. His ability to write epic poetry in a non-native language reminds me of Joseph Conrad, who did likewise.
Greatest show on earth.. live at Tampere.. greatest live performance of all time by any one
The only woman who can prowl while walking backwards.
I enjoy the reverse prowl muchly! I also love it when she runs her fingers through her hair towards the end as she's smiling, it's beautiful imagery. This performance has risen up the ranks as a top tier favourite for me.
Hey friend, Hellfest or Deichbrand. And this is not the,"Keyboarder " It is Tuomas Holopainen, The founder of Nightwish. He is write the Lyrics 《Poets), and 95% of the Music.
I always think that when someone throws out the “keyboarder”, AKA Nightwish all encompassing.
…and Floor ain’t NO CHICK EVER!
Right, if you listen and react to Nightwish that much, then you should know the members and what they do, let alone have some respect for the lady. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Symphonic Metal Theater at its best
Tuomas Holopainen -

Dude that one is one of my absolute favorites. They're songs are sooo hard to rank but this one is up there with Pendulum.
If you want heavy Nightwish riffs (Emppu - from Middle Earth - is the guitarist), then in order I would say: "Dead Gardens" (remastered 2016), "Slaying the Dreamer" Iive Beunos Aires 2018), "Yours is an empty Hope" (live Wembley 2015). Love your reactions. Greetings from Melbourne Australia!
If you like Marko's singing, then you might like Nightwish's cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes.
I'm so glad you did this one ❤🤘
Nice reaction!
yep, one of the Nightwish 'Musicals' ...
I would say yours is an empty hope from Wembley is the best version. Great reaction as usual🇬🇧
this one hits hard :D

Would love to see you do the hole Nightwish at Hellfest 2022
Very beautiful
🤩👍💥💯🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
You love Floor don't you..? Hahaha ❤
Planet Hell at Hellfest
This song never made much sense to me before, and I didn't really care for it, until this Decades tour ❤
Correct Sir. This is a little taste of metal Musical Theater Nightwish style.
What a great reaction..
But it's about time you listen to Sabaton.. Swedish power metal and their drummer is Floor's husband. They make music about war history as it was, without choosing sides or glorifying.
"Bismarck" the official music video is a really good start🤟🇸🇪

What you're trying to say. I always considered this song a mini-opera.
Tuomas,Metal Mozart
And now for something completely different:
Version 1: get in the wayback machine to Nightwish with their first singer, Tarja Turinen doing either "Phantom of the Opera (with Marco singing the male part) or "I Wish I had an Angel" both from the End of an Era concert [the music video for "I Wish I had an Angel" also kicks ass as they have very high production standards on the videos just like they have for the concerts].
Version 2: Floor singing something quiet (solo)--her cover of "Shallow" from the Beste Zangers TV show in 2019.
might not be a vein on her neck, but the wire for her in-ear monitor.
...and ' the drummer' named Kai Hahto. And as we call names: the most underrated guitarplayer in the metalmusic world is Emppu Vourinen, and the guy with the beard, sing and playing the Warwick-bass is one of the best rock singer in Europe: Marko Hietala (but since he's 2020 no longer with Nightwish😪).

A rock opera?
No vain, tattoo.
