Hello 2ndhandsouls music ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], 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 [pronounced Yukka] became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and very recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: ruclips.net/user/gbardaccommunity 🤘🤘🤘
@@martinfranzen9151 Nightwish has a huge repertoire, not to mention the personal projects of each member. Of course you can add other suggestions, my request is to have a decent A/V quality.
Hello again and wow, you were quick with your reaction! Thanks for checking out Nightwish. I didn't promise too much, did I? This was just one example of their outstanding musicianship and compelling compositions. Nightwish is still very active, I just chose to recommend this older performance as it is a good introduction to this awesome band. Like I said in my recommendation, their music has a lot of variation. If you want to hear the heavier side of them, you could check out 'Romanticide' from that same show for example. There are no flames coming out of the keyboard 🤣 It's actually made to look like the Jean Sibelius monument in Helsinki, Finland, as an ode to this famous Finnish composer. The lyrics are beautiful, but often hard to decipher, as they are very poetic. I would love to watch you discover more of their music. Have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment. It contains a lot of information about the band and a long list with song suggestions. See you again soon and greetings from the Netherlands. By the way, Martine is a female name...
Our apologies for mistaking your name. We thank you for introducing us to Nightwish. Consider us members of the Nightwish Army. You did pick a good song for us to react to. Thank you so much.
Nice reaction. You have no Idea how many reactors have said "this is not my go to, but....", and they end up as proud members of the Nightwish Army. Every song is completely different, and they'll suprise you at every turn. And Floor Jansen's vocals.. This song just scratches the surface. She's classical trained, yes, but she masters every technique. Everything from Opera to Death Metal Growls. And all between. The most versatile vocalist alive. This rabbit hole is massive. Probably the deepest there is. Romanticide from Wacken 2013 (same show) next, just to emphasize the diffetence in their songs. Greetings from Norway.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. The singer is a Dutch singer/songwriter and vocal coach Floor Jansen, the best singer in the world (IMHO). The band is from Finland, and so am I. Greetings from Northern Finland! ⛄👍
Nightwish is Finnish gift to metal music and Floor Jansen is "God's" gift to Nightwish. Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) writes and composes these beautiful Nightwish songs ❤🤘Current drummer is Kai Hahto but in this video the drummer is Jukka Nevalainen. How I love his drumming and his style 🥁💕
Floor Jansen is a classic trained and professional voice coach with at least 20 plus years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes and different styles and languages, she is married to the drummer of the band Sabaton. 😀
Actually, in rock perspective US is a kind of blind/ dead spot nowadays. Europe, South America and Asia are full of great rock and metal bands. Greets from Finland 🤘🔥❤️🇫🇮
Hello 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.
The Symphony music and backing vocals are tracks they wrote and pre-recorded with the actual London Philharmonic Symphony orchestra and choirs in London. The production and video/audio recording work is done by the dedicated Nightwish production team (aka Crewish). You may find the documentaries they have made about the writing and creation of a recent album interesting, as they also manage alot of the process.
A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰. This song is about emotions - and when you listen to the whole song in a row - Floor (singer) will make you feel and experience the emotions. You should not be afraid of the copy right - just pause once or twice. This is Symphonic Metal - a genre you don't really have over there - mainly due to your music industry, controlling everything, and not allowing songs to be more than 3 - 4 minutes.. In the rest of the world, Symphonic Metal are huge - like in South America - they simply love it big time! This concert from Wacken 2013 (Wacken Open Air are one of the biggest metal festivals on Earth - and Nightwish were headlining and closing the Festival that year, with this Legendary concert! 82.000 audience in awe... Floor had only been with the band for 10 months, at this concert - she replaced Anette Olzon in the middle of a world tour in the US, in October 2012 - having learned the entire setlist in less than 48 hours... Nightwish is by far the greatest Symphonic Metal band ever, with Tuomas (keyboard) as the main composer. Tuomas are well known as the Metal Mozart - writing deep poetic lyrics, often with quotes from scientists and writers - and he is a genius of a composer, able to merge symphony and metal music like no one else. And Floor Jansen (vocals) are considered to be the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented storyteller ever - with a stage presence and charisma to match. Her range are unbelievable, just like her breath and voice techniques - she is unique. You have barely scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities with this song!! - not kidding! Nightwish / Floor have more 100 unbelievable songs, and none of them are alike!! - including at least 5 masterpieces, that no other band can perform!! They are they greatest live band currently - please follow Gabriel Bardac's list when he appears - his links have the best audio, and he also gives you a brief intro to Nightwish's history. The way to go in order to follow their evolution with Floor: Wacken 2013 Wembley 2015 Tampere 2015 Buenos Aires 2018 (Human Nature 2020 - studio) Hellfest 2022 - (free concert on YT)
Nightwish goes light, medium and heavy Metal. This song was medium. It's about unrequited love. Floor sings every genre of music. Pop, Rock, Metal, Classical, Opera with belting and some growling thrown in. She's the full package. Marko (Bass) does backing vocals on some songs. Fun fact: Finland has more Metal bands per/capita than any other country in the world. 53 for every 100,000 residents. They couldn't do pyro from the pipes even if they wanted to because half the band would be in the danger zone. 😊🤘 For a little heavier and catchy song try 'Storytime' with subtitles from the same venue. ruclips.net/video/Lxox2BiLap8/видео.html
The song is about " Lost Love" .... Martine is a woman and one of the leaders of the Nightwish Army .....her and husband flew all the way from the Netherlands to see Nightwish in NYC , i was also at that show and wish i had met them.... look For General Gabriel Bardac's comment and it will give you all the info youll need on your Nightwish journey .
Do you know if the pipe organ is real or a stage prop? They really sound amazing! I'm very impressed. I'm gonna be listening to more Nightwish for sure.
@@axemonkey The pipes are made to look like the Jean Sibelius monument in Helsinki, Finland, as an ode to this famous Finnish composer. If you have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment, you'll find a list with great songs to check out. Of course there are many more, but it's a good start. Enjoy the ride!
Just a nice welcome to the Nightwish and their loyal army, with lots of love to you all. You are in for a beautiful ride 💝💝💝💝 Please consider the use of earphones to experience their wonderful sounds
Man when you mention Finland this shows how little is known in US because Finland has more metalheads and metal bands per capita than any other European country. The number of internationally known bands from Finland is crazy. But you have to understand that for example in Netherlands where Floor Jansen their vocalist is from, majority of radio is pop music but in Finland metal is so mainstream as pop is in Netherlands (as mentioned by her while discussing it in a Dutch show named Beste Zangers).
here in Finland, if you listen to the radio, you will hear a Nightwish song every day. don't worry if you listen more to Nightwish, you will also hear Marko Hietala (bassist) sings with Floor Jansen. 🇫🇮🤘
Greets from Germany! Wacken is a small town in northern Germany, home of the WOA Festival every year. One of the biggest Metal Festivals in the world. I was part of this crowd and it was an insane night!
🇫🇮👍Cheers from Finland & thanks for the entertaining reaction. P.S. Finland has over 700 metal bands per 1M citizens, which is by far the highest ratio in the world - e.g. the U.S. has less than 100/1M.
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! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Empuu always plays what the song needs… very good explained. It’s fantastic to have musicians to react to Nightwish. Great ‼️🏆👍 Nightwish army middle Germany division
during the show the smiles became bigger..Nightwish Army from the Netherlands reports for duty. please enter what we call "the rabbithole" and slide down in the world of symphonic metal starring NW with frontlady Floor Jansen( Yansen). a Dutch lady in a Finnish band with 1 english bandmember...if you like we follow,guide and teach you all about them...you won't regret,, WE won't....haha..greets from the Nightwish ArmyNL.
🤩👌💥💯 "Hey, Hey, Hey, Heey!" (+some of her arm movement) = Proper crowd control moment captured! Cool reaction guys. Keep on rockin with this magical band! Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮, the Mother Land of Nightwish 🤟😎 🇫🇮 💙
Meaning of the song: First, it's called a "Score" because, as you correctly pointed out, it is written like a movie score with distinct scenes or movements. Second, the story is about a young man whose heart is crushed when he belatedly realizes he has been in love with his imaginary mental image of a particular woman rather than the real woman herself who was not interested in him romantically. He is broken at reflecting on how many years he has wasted being in love with a "ghost," a figment of his imagination. Notice, during the orchestral intermezzo, the stage lighting goes all blue and a single burning taper candle appears on the background screen. This is a Shakespearean reference, as a common bit of imagery in Shakespeare's writings was that the "burning of a blue taper" summons ghosts. The gospel choir voices, incidentally, are not synthetic. They are provided on backing track by The Metro Voices of London contract choir, with whom Nightwish collaborates often. Hope you enjoy! Cheers!
This song is epic, and it is always on Nightwish setlist. But it is just the tip of the Nightwish iceberg. Nightwish is a versatile band, with many different kinds of songs. Ballads, celtic, folky, rock, metal. I like them all, but I prefer the heavier songs. At Wacken 2013, SONG OF MYSELF, ROMANTICIDE, GHOST RIVER. And the opener DARK CHEST OF WONDERS. Now that's how you start the show. Lots of pyros, but not from the "organ pipes". I agree that would be something. Gabriel gave you lots of info and links to great Nightwish live videos with a short description of each song, whether it' heavy, mellow or celtic. Pick and choose to your liking. Greetings from Finland! (We have more heavy/metal bands per capita than anywhere else in the world.)
Chick? Diggin' it? Who talks like that? I'm older than all of you! Kidding.. Finland, Sweden, has lots of big name bands. nightwish is huge in Europe, tour the world. Floor is known by just Floor over there. 82,000 people here this night. Radio, what's that? Oh that 20th century music box. If you to learn bands around the world, youtube, spotify..
Glad you decided to react to this band.. Welcome to Symphonic Metal,this is their 3rd singer Floor Jansen,a 6’1” Dutch vocal beast who’s been with the band since 2012 . They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,Floor can sing straight up opera and through to growls and screams and everything in between. hope you decide to dip your toe into some more. Gabriel will be along soon I guess with much more info to drop on you and a list of the best quality performances available on RUclips 😊👍
Love to see US bands finding out where the real metal bands live. Finland is the home of Metal and has more metal bands per capita than any other country. Metal is played on the mainstream radio over there. If you want to check out the 'back up' singer and see a completely different side to the band, check out Romanticide also from the 2013 Wacken (vahken) Metal Festival in front of 82,000 fans. Wacken is in Germany.
Looking forward for another NW reaction of yours. There are many big metal bands from Europe that are very successfull and known here in Europe, Japan, South America, in US the success for European bands come much harder.
Welcome faith-based band! It wold be interesting to know more of you. Please, do not be put off if Nightwish' music (or the majority of the fan base) is not in sync with your world view. There is lot to enjoy and admire in the music and in the music.
This is in Germany so pronounced Vacken. This band is known for amazing transitions. And this singer Floor Jansen is amazing as she's singing songs written for previous two singers and with the band 10 months. Nearly all songs written by Tuomas, keyboards. Worth also subscribing to Floor Jansen's RUclips channel. Amazing covers of some songs you might recognise. Plus vocal coaching from her home studio in Sweden. Where she lives with her husband Hannes van Dahl the drummer of Sabaton and her daughter Freya.
My favourite Nightwish songs: 1. Devil and the deep dark ocean (Marko and Floor singing) 2. Sleeping Sun (Tarja singing) 3. Dark chest of wonders (Tarja singing) 4. Everdream (Marko and Tarja singing) 5. Last Ride of the day (Marko and Floor singing) 6. Wishmaster (Tarja singing) 7. High hopes (Marko singing, Pink Floyd tribute 8. Nemo (Tarja singing) 9. The poet and the pendulum (Marko and Floor singing) 10. Wish i had an angel (Marko and Tarja singing) 11. Romanticide (Marko and Floor singing) 12. The greatest show on earth (Marko and Floor singing) 13. Dead boys poem (Floor singing) 14. Ghost love score (Floor singing) 15. While your lips are still red (Marko singing) 16. Shoemaker (Floor singing) 17. Yours is an empty hope (Marko and Floor singing) 18. Phantom of the opera (Marko and Tarja singing) 19. Storytime (Floor singing) 20. Weak fantasy (Marko and Floor singing)
FYI Pro reactor TIP : after a pause please try to go back a bit before resuming to keep song continuity but also to not miss the many transitions NW is well known for , your viewers will appreciate it :) cheers, also best to not pause mid vocals . Also if your pausing so very often because you think you need to ? You dont , many reactors do not pause at all and just comment at the end without any issues, so it's not about the video being blocked etc, just thought you should know :)
Wacken is the largest annual European Rock festival (as far as i know) held in Germany. A whole village is preparing for that one event every year. In the village live about 2000 people and they expect around 85000 visitors for the event every year. A conservative politician has founded the festival in the early 90s with some artist and they borrowed some land from farmer to get the festival started. Initially there were only 800 visitors :)
😉Hiii U 3 .. always nice to see new people discover Nightwish ... The men whit the hat is right and has the most musical knowledge i I think.. but what is knowledge .. just be a fan and enjoy .. do them live and preferably whit Floor .. Nice reaction ..Greetings from Amsterdam
btw Nightwish is very well known all around the World except in N.America where the ignorant and arrogant music media industry is more focused on crap pop and hip hop that relies on vocal enhancements to sound tolerable , Floor Jansen needs no help sounding amazing Live like no other can. BTW A "Score" by definition in music is a multi part composition, often constructed akin to a classical piece.
Oh, this is your intro? Finland seems to be the Metal Music hub of the world, more bands than almost any other country compared to population, you've got a LOT to discover. US embargo on "Not made here"? "Not usually my go to..." Oh, boy, I can see that is going to change quickly! Beautiful to see another band getting into it. The guitar, not overplayed, yep, that's Emppu, our hero prankster :) The Orchestra was recorded at The Angel Studios, Islington, London, UK. It would be awesome if that could be live too, but incredibly expensive, maybe "Once", in the future. Pyro from the "Organ pipes"! That would be cool. The team that look after lighting, pyro, video wall, catering, etc, etc are called "Crewish", some of them have been with them from the early years. During the pandemic, they did their own cover album, all proceeds for the crew, that's how much Nightwish appreciate them. At the end of concert videos, you may notice the amount of credits... Chrissie, yes, the lyrics need a good look over :) They did have a backup vocal choir, also recorded in London. Oh, there is a backup vocal, you have yet to discover (going to blow you away, you'll love it!) "Reach that range..." Mmm, wait, wait, wait. You are a great team too, kudos, and kiitos! (Finnish for thank you, you'll get that too, soon).
Nightwish Army (UK) reporting in That was a very nice reaction, I am glad that you liked it If you like the heavier side then you might like the song Romanticide Wishing you all the best!
Haha, you guys.. great reaction! So much to discover with Nightwish. Nice to hear what kind of band you're playing in (21:39). I think you'll love the journey with NW. It's a "music-based" band 😉 And the love of good music is what unites us all. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
Yes, 3 souls are taken by our Dutch Valkyrie Goddes of Metal... more Floor Jansen, watch the Beste Zangers 2019, she sings in different styles and different languages. She sings O Mio Babbino Caro and from the gamecube game Final Fantasy Chronicals, Sound of the Wind... She is working on different projects of Ayreon too, Valley of the Queens and The Day The World Break Down are good ones to start with.... you hear the London Philharmonic Orchestra who did the music for the movie's Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit in the musical break..
Welcome to Nightwish and our 6'1 Valkyrie Godess Floor Jansen. I see that Gen Gabriel has visited. Follow his suggestions on all things Nightwish and you can't go wrong. Nightwish Army North Florida Airborne Div reporting in (I found Nightwish 3yrs ago love there music..im 60) enjoy the journey. Oh there were 82,000 at the concert.
Quick thanks to Ms. Martine...always working overtime! So sorry I've been MIA...my mom had a mild stroke so that's keeping me busy. But Nightwish is my factory reset...so I'm super happy to meet some new faces enjoying a new band! I'm gonna catch up on your reactions...I find y'all delightful!
@@stpfs9281 Kindest thanks! She's going to make a full recovery with time...she's in a rehab facility now and I've already set up in-home physical and speech therapy upon her rtn. Thankfully we live together. I have a sister...but my feral cat is more helpful!
I'm watching this video right now and just wanted to say that Finland has the most metal bands per capita in the world and Sweden is nr. 2. A Swede here 😄🤘
Guys, please continue your Nightwish journey...you will not regret it. Ghost Love Score, is the song to hook people, and it's a great song, but if you have any interest whatsoever in music theory, Tuomas Holopainen is a generational composer, arranger, and writer. They call him "The Metal Mozart", and while I prefer a comparison to Bach, Metal Mozart flows off the tongue better. Floor is widely considered the most versatile singer on the planet, and is without a doubt, considered the best metal female vocalist (and there are many). She can growl, scream, and sing like an angel. If you like heavier stuff, they get much heavier than this one. Try Noise, Ghost River, even Ever Dream and Story Time. If you want to see a true Magnum Opus, watch The Greatest Show on Earth and The Poet and the Pendulum, but later down the road once you have a grasp of what the band and Tuomas Holopainen does. He is the keyboardist by the way, and creates about 95 percent of all you see musically. I'm telling, this is one journey you'd enjoy!
Cheers from Sweden btw we made ACDC famous because our hype affter their first live here ;). im an old Nightwish fan and even if i love singer Floor Jansen here in this version my fav will always be Tarja Turunen the old original singer. I love both singers though.
Wacken is the name of a small town in Germany with a population of less than 2000 people, where every year the biggest metal festival in the world takes place. Only at this show, there were more than 87,000 people in the audience.
Wacken is a town in Germany. W's are pronounced as V's. So it is actually Vah-ken, like rockin with a V. This song is all about unrequited love or lost love. BTW, Martine is an amazing young woman from The Netherlands. Her name is pronounced as in Martina in English. She's awesome!
The keyboard is actually a Symphonic Organ which has every instrument of an orchestra in it plus the pipes are real so the sound of the Symphonic Organ can be heard. Symphonic Organ's are musical instruments that are known and used here in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world, I am surprised that Americans have never seen them and heard of them. We had one of them at my senior school here in England. Nightwish are the greatest Symphonic Metal Band in the world and Floor Jansen the greatest female singer on the planet. I am a Sabaton fan from England and Sabaton are from Sweden. Us Sabaton fan's do love Nightwish plus there singer Floor Jansen is married to the drummer of Sabaton Hannes van Dahl. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇸🇪🇸🇪🇫🇮🇱🇺💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Now you got to listen to the nightwish story time, ever dream, 7 days to wolves and so on great band. Then getting into the Japanese metal scene with Love bites , nemophila, band maids. There's so much good music in the rest of the world out of the USA
hi guys, thanks for your reaction. Floor, the singer, is Dutch and married to the drummer of Sabaton. Tuomos (keyboards) is a musical genius and composes95% of their songs. This is a long wild ride. I always was into death and trashmetal, but listening to them and Epica (Dutch too) made me apreciate the use of symphonic orchestra;s (Tuomas wrote he music for the who London Pfylarmonic Orchestra and choirs) His nick name is Metal Mozart, I call him the rebirth of Mozart. The way how hw uses ruthm and key changes, transformings...is bizar. They also use a lot of tri tones to make music sound haunting (forbidden by the church :P ) Their music have deep meanings and the lyrics are poets.
Hey guys, glad to see you enjoyed your introduction to Nightwish. Looking forward to more from you guys. Would appreciate you guys checking out one of my favorite bands, Sabaton. They have some ties to Nightwish that would be surprising to say the least. And since you are a faith based band I think you would enjoy these songs as a sort of introduction.

You guys really really really gotta hear the Ukrainian band JINJER the song "pisces" live session, Jinjer has an amazing fan base so not only will Tatiana blow your mind with her vocals but the reaction will blow up your subscriptions and boost your channel
nothing wrong with faith music, and Nightwish sings uplifting music most of the time but all their songs are human experience based. thanks from Colorado
Finland has more metal bands per capita than any other country in the world. The reason you don't hear many foreign metal bands or music in general as Americans is because Amerian radio doesn't play them. Not because they don't exist or aren't good / popular. Especially in metal, Europe is a very, very big breeding ground for very, very talented bands.
hey 2ndhandsouls music, Wacken pronounced Vahken is in Germany and is one of if not the largest Metal music festival in World, 83,000 fans there for NW which Headlined for a 15 song set in which this song GLS was #13, you may or may not be aware ? that Nightwish is the most reacted to band on RUclips ever, massive and very devoted enthusiastic fan base on YT,many vocal coach reactors have over 2 Million views for a reaction to Ghost Love Score ,FYI you may want to consider making your music video box bigger keeping in my mind that it's about the music & video your reacting to ? cheers
Hello 2ndhandsouls music ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], 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 [pronounced Yukka] became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and very recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: ruclips.net/user/gbardaccommunity
🤘🤘🤘
Wow what a history. I'm sorry to hear about Ann's passing. I'm gonna be telling everyone I know about them. They are incredible!
was confused about your blue logo :D
Hope it's ok for you guys that i put out my own suggestions sometimes even though i love what Gabriel does 🙊❤️
@@martinfranzen9151 Nightwish has a huge repertoire, not to mention the personal projects of each member. Of course you can add other suggestions, my request is to have a decent A/V quality.
@@gabriel.bardac yeah they really have 😅😀👏 Thanks 😊
Hello again and wow, you were quick with your reaction! Thanks for checking out Nightwish. I didn't promise too much, did I? This was just one example of their outstanding musicianship and compelling compositions. Nightwish is still very active, I just chose to recommend this older performance as it is a good introduction to this awesome band. Like I said in my recommendation, their music has a lot of variation. If you want to hear the heavier side of them, you could check out 'Romanticide' from that same show for example.
There are no flames coming out of the keyboard 🤣 It's actually made to look like the Jean Sibelius monument in Helsinki, Finland, as an ode to this famous Finnish composer. The lyrics are beautiful, but often hard to decipher, as they are very poetic. I would love to watch you discover more of their music. Have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment. It contains a lot of information about the band and a long list with song suggestions. See you again soon and greetings from the Netherlands.
By the way, Martine is a female name...
Nice work Sister 🤣

Our apologies for mistaking your name. We thank you for introducing us to Nightwish. Consider us members of the Nightwish Army. You did pick a good song for us to react to. Thank you so much.
Nice reaction.
You have no Idea how many reactors have said "this is not my go to, but....", and they end up as proud members of the Nightwish Army.
Every song is completely different, and they'll suprise you at every turn.
And Floor Jansen's vocals.. This song just scratches the surface. She's classical trained, yes, but she masters every technique. Everything from Opera to Death Metal Growls. And all between. The most versatile vocalist alive.
This rabbit hole is massive. Probably the deepest there is.
Romanticide from Wacken 2013 (same show) next, just to emphasize the diffetence in their songs.
Greetings from Norway.
Greetings.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. The singer is a Dutch singer/songwriter and vocal coach Floor Jansen, the best singer in the world (IMHO). The band is from Finland, and so am I. Greetings from Northern Finland! ⛄👍
im 57 took me a long time to discover the best singer in HISTORY
Nightwish is Finnish gift to metal music and Floor Jansen is "God's" gift to Nightwish. Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) writes and composes these beautiful Nightwish songs ❤🤘Current drummer is Kai Hahto but in this video the drummer is Jukka Nevalainen. How I love his drumming and his style 🥁💕
Floor Jansen is a classic trained and professional voice coach with at least 20 plus years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes and different styles and languages, she is married to the drummer of the band Sabaton. 😀
Actually, in rock perspective US is a kind of blind/ dead spot nowadays. Europe, South America and Asia are full of great rock and metal bands. Greets from Finland 🤘🔥❤️🇫🇮
True dat.
Hello
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.
The Symphony music and backing vocals are tracks they wrote and pre-recorded with the actual London Philharmonic Symphony orchestra and choirs in London. The production and video/audio recording work is done by the dedicated Nightwish production team (aka Crewish). You may find the documentaries they have made about the writing and creation of a recent album interesting, as they also manage alot of the process.
A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰.
This song is about emotions - and when you listen to the whole song in a row - Floor (singer) will make you feel and experience the emotions. You should not be afraid of the copy right - just pause once or twice.
This is Symphonic Metal - a genre you don't really have over there - mainly due to your music industry, controlling everything, and not allowing songs to be more than 3 - 4 minutes..
In the rest of the world, Symphonic Metal are huge - like in South America - they simply love it big time!
This concert from Wacken 2013 (Wacken Open Air are one of the biggest metal festivals on Earth - and Nightwish were headlining and closing the Festival that year, with this Legendary concert! 82.000 audience in awe...
Floor had only been with the band for 10 months, at this concert - she replaced Anette Olzon in the middle of a world tour in the US, in October 2012 - having learned the entire setlist in less than 48 hours...
Nightwish is by far the greatest Symphonic Metal band ever, with Tuomas (keyboard) as the main composer. Tuomas are well known as the Metal Mozart - writing deep poetic lyrics, often with quotes from scientists and writers - and he is a genius of a composer, able to merge symphony and metal music like no one else.
And Floor Jansen (vocals) are considered to be the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented storyteller ever - with a stage presence and charisma to match. Her range are unbelievable, just like her breath and voice techniques - she is unique.
You have barely scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities with this song!! - not kidding!
Nightwish / Floor have more 100 unbelievable songs, and none of them are alike!! - including at least 5 masterpieces, that no other band can perform!!
They are they greatest live band currently - please follow Gabriel Bardac's list when he appears - his links have the best audio, and he also gives you a brief intro to Nightwish's history.
The way to go in order to follow their evolution with Floor:
Wacken 2013
Wembley 2015
Tampere 2015
Buenos Aires 2018
(Human Nature 2020 - studio)
Hellfest 2022 - (free concert on YT)
Thank you.
Nightwish goes light, medium and heavy Metal. This song was medium. It's about unrequited love. Floor sings every genre of music. Pop, Rock, Metal, Classical, Opera with belting and some growling thrown in. She's the full package. Marko (Bass) does backing vocals on some songs. Fun fact: Finland has more Metal bands per/capita than any other country in the world. 53 for every 100,000 residents. They couldn't do pyro from the pipes even if they wanted to because half the band would be in the danger zone. 😊🤘 For a little heavier and catchy song try 'Storytime' with subtitles from the same venue. ruclips.net/video/Lxox2BiLap8/видео.html
That's cool.
Nightwish are their own genre.
The song is about " Lost Love" ....
Martine is a woman and one of the leaders of the Nightwish Army .....her and husband flew all the way from the Netherlands to see Nightwish in NYC , i was also at that show and wish i had met them.... look For General Gabriel Bardac's comment and it will give you all the info youll need on your Nightwish journey .
Do you know if the pipe organ is real or a stage prop? They really sound amazing! I'm very impressed. I'm gonna be listening to more Nightwish for sure.
@@axemonkey Just a prop. When you look closely at it from behind you'll see it's just a fancy keyboard stand.
@@axemonkey The pipes are made to look like the Jean Sibelius monument in Helsinki, Finland, as an ode to this famous Finnish composer. If you have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment, you'll find a list with great songs to check out. Of course there are many more, but it's a good start. Enjoy the ride!
🤘🏻 It would have been nice to meet... But if they're touring the US again, I'm sure I'll come back. I enjoyed the smaller venue. So maybe next time!
@@martine3293 they better tour the US again , hopefully in 2024 when they tour the new album .....see ya then
Just a nice welcome to the Nightwish and their loyal army, with lots of love to you all. You are in for a beautiful ride 💝💝💝💝 Please consider the use of earphones to experience their wonderful sounds
Man when you mention Finland this shows how little is known in US because Finland has more metalheads and metal bands per capita than any other European country. The number of internationally known bands from Finland is crazy. But you have to understand that for example in Netherlands where Floor Jansen their vocalist is from, majority of radio is pop music but in Finland metal is so mainstream as pop is in Netherlands (as mentioned by her while discussing it in a Dutch show named Beste Zangers).
Beste Zangers 2019, the whole show with English subtitles?
@@stpfs9281 yes, on dailymotion.
here in Finland, if you listen to the radio, you will hear a Nightwish song every day. don't worry if you listen more to Nightwish, you will also hear Marko Hietala (bassist) sings with Floor Jansen. 🇫🇮🤘
Greets from Germany! Wacken is a small town in northern Germany, home of the WOA Festival every year. One of the biggest Metal Festivals in the world. I was part of this crowd and it was an insane night!
It looks like the place to be!
Really enjoyed your reaction, can't wait to see some more Nightwish!!!
Three people totally caught off guard - loved it! 🤘
So did we.
🇫🇮👍Cheers from Finland & thanks for the entertaining reaction.
P.S. Finland has over 700 metal bands per 1M citizens, which is by far the highest ratio in the world - e.g. the U.S. has less than 100/1M.
Could this be the reason we're the happiest people in the world? 🤔
YES!
Love your reaction. Looking for more. Greetings from NW army the Netherlands.
Cool reaction guys. Looking forward you opening more of This amazing chest of wonders 🤘😆🤘
Us too!
First time I heard this I found myself bawling like a baby for no reason...
Love this reaction! Welcome to Nightwish! will def check out your original music after this!!
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! You're not ready!
Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Metal on! Down the rabbit hole we go. Weeeeeeeeeeeee
Empuu always plays what the song needs… very good explained. It’s fantastic to have musicians to react to Nightwish. Great ‼️🏆👍
Nightwish army middle Germany division
during the show the smiles became bigger..Nightwish Army from the Netherlands reports for duty. please enter what we call "the rabbithole" and slide down in the world of symphonic metal starring NW with frontlady Floor Jansen( Yansen). a Dutch lady in a Finnish band with 1 english bandmember...if you like we follow,guide and teach you all about them...you won't regret,, WE won't....haha..greets from the Nightwish ArmyNL.
🤩👌💥💯
"Hey, Hey, Hey, Heey!" (+some of her arm movement) = Proper crowd control moment captured!
Cool reaction guys. Keep on rockin with this magical band!
Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮, the Mother Land of Nightwish 🤟😎 🇫🇮 💙
Thank you.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meaning of the song: First, it's called a "Score" because, as you correctly pointed out, it is written like a movie score with distinct scenes or movements. Second, the story is about a young man whose heart is crushed when he belatedly realizes he has been in love with his imaginary mental image of a particular woman rather than the real woman herself who was not interested in him romantically. He is broken at reflecting on how many years he has wasted being in love with a "ghost," a figment of his imagination. Notice, during the orchestral intermezzo, the stage lighting goes all blue and a single burning taper candle appears on the background screen. This is a Shakespearean reference, as a common bit of imagery in Shakespeare's writings was that the "burning of a blue taper" summons ghosts. The gospel choir voices, incidentally, are not synthetic. They are provided on backing track by The Metro Voices of London contract choir, with whom Nightwish collaborates often. Hope you enjoy! Cheers!
That's a great description, like the blue taper...
I wonder how it would go with the movie "Ghost", nah, leave it...
FYI: Martine is a dutch woman and a great ambassador for this great band.
We've learned so much information from Nightwish's Fans, thank you all! Now we realize that Martine is a lady. Our apologies!
I started listening Rock in the early 70’s. To me Floor is the goat. Period.
Floor Jansen the Queen of metal ✨️ ♥️
This song is epic, and it is always on Nightwish setlist. But it is just the tip of the Nightwish iceberg. Nightwish is a versatile band, with many different kinds of songs. Ballads, celtic, folky, rock, metal. I like them all, but I prefer the heavier songs. At Wacken 2013, SONG OF MYSELF, ROMANTICIDE, GHOST RIVER. And the opener DARK CHEST OF WONDERS. Now that's how you start the show. Lots of pyros, but not from the "organ pipes". I agree that would be something.
Gabriel gave you lots of info and links to great Nightwish live videos with a short description of each song, whether it' heavy, mellow or celtic. Pick and choose to your liking.
Greetings from Finland! (We have more heavy/metal bands per capita than anywhere else in the world.)
Greetings from Alabama USA. Looking forward to more Nightwish.
We wish it was like that here. Thank you for watching.
Chick? Diggin' it? Who talks like that? I'm older than all of you! Kidding.. Finland, Sweden, has lots of big name bands. nightwish is huge in Europe, tour the world. Floor is known by just Floor over there. 82,000 people here this night. Radio, what's that? Oh that 20th century music box. If you to learn bands around the world, youtube, spotify..
Glad you decided to react to this band.. Welcome to Symphonic Metal,this is their 3rd singer Floor Jansen,a 6’1” Dutch vocal beast who’s been with the band since 2012 . They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,Floor can sing straight up opera and through to growls and screams and everything in between. hope you decide to dip your toe into some more. Gabriel will be along soon I guess with much more info to drop on you and a list of the best quality performances available on RUclips 😊👍
Love to see US bands finding out where the real metal bands live. Finland is the home of Metal and has more metal bands per capita than any other country. Metal is played on the mainstream radio over there. If you want to check out the 'back up' singer and see a completely different side to the band, check out Romanticide also from the 2013 Wacken (vahken) Metal Festival in front of 82,000 fans. Wacken is in Germany.
Hahaha! Love it.
From the Nightwish army. We are here. Thank you for the reaction and review.
We're trying our best to spread the word about Nightwish here in the US. Thank you for watching.
Looking forward for another NW reaction of yours. There are many big metal bands from Europe that are very successfull and known here in Europe, Japan, South America, in US the success for European bands come much harder.
I'm a simple man.
I see Nightwish. I click.
Central Florida division reporting for duty.
We love it man.
Welcome faith-based band! It wold be interesting to know more of you. Please, do not be put off if Nightwish' music (or the majority of the fan base) is not in sync with your world view. There is lot to enjoy and admire in the music and in the music.
Thank You. Check out our playlist. Link in the description to our playlist.
Thank you!!! Nigtwish Army South Africa 😙
This is in Germany so pronounced Vacken. This band is known for amazing transitions. And this singer Floor Jansen is amazing as she's singing songs written for previous two singers and with the band 10 months. Nearly all songs written by Tuomas, keyboards. Worth also subscribing to Floor Jansen's RUclips channel. Amazing covers of some songs you might recognise. Plus vocal coaching from her home studio in Sweden. Where she lives with her husband Hannes van Dahl the drummer of Sabaton and her daughter Freya.
Three more souls snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess

@@2ndhandsoulsmusic No worries 😀👏🙏😊
For me I would add:
Sahara 2016 (Marco and Floor)
Noise MV (Floor)
And Ghost River
I'd have The Islander in there somewhere, but... I don't know what I'd drop for it...
FYI Pro reactor TIP : after a pause please try to go back a bit before resuming to keep song continuity but also to not miss the many transitions NW is well known for , your viewers will appreciate it :) cheers, also best to not pause mid vocals . Also if your pausing so very often because you think you need to ? You dont , many reactors do not pause at all and just comment at the end without any issues, so it's not about the video being blocked etc, just thought you should know :)
We appreciate your advise. We're still learning this process.
Wacken is the largest annual European Rock festival (as far as i know) held in Germany. A whole village is preparing for that one event every year. In the village live about 2000 people and they expect around 85000 visitors for the event every year. A conservative politician has founded the festival in the early 90s with some artist and they borrowed some land from farmer to get the festival started. Initially there were only 800 visitors :)
All we know is that we're glad they did. Incredible!
Largest in Germany yes. but in Europe? Not even close.... Hellfest is 8 days in 2 weeks 330 bands.
Nightwish Army reporting from the UK Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Nightwish just follow Gabriel's guide on this journey and enjoy!
Yay Nightwish! Hope you do more.
Every song is different and they are excellent! Subbed in hopes of more. :)
Nightwish Army BC Canada
Well done Martine - all the usual kudos to you.
Yeah she's awesome.
Welcome to the army, you are in for a treat, every song a epic
Another great Finnish band that you may like is Poets Of The Fall and their song Carnival Of Rust 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
😉Hiii U 3 .. always nice to see new people discover Nightwish ... The men whit the hat is right and has the most musical knowledge i I think.. but what is knowledge .. just be a fan and enjoy .. do them live and preferably whit Floor .. Nice reaction ..Greetings from Amsterdam
Rock on!
We who love Nightwish also love Sabaton, Rammstein, Jinjer, The Warning, Arch Enemy, Aurora, Sigrid, Highasakite, Girl in Red 😈❤️🇧🇻
Epicness right there on that stage 🙏😊👍
btw Nightwish is very well known all around the World except in N.America where the ignorant and arrogant music media industry is more focused on crap pop and hip hop that relies on vocal enhancements to sound tolerable , Floor Jansen needs no help sounding amazing Live like no other can. BTW A "Score" by definition in music is a multi part composition, often constructed akin to a classical piece.
We agree! We don't like that crap either. We are enjoying learning about the metal industry abroad. Thank you.
Oh, this is your intro?
Finland seems to be the Metal Music hub of the world,
more bands than almost any other country compared to population, you've got a LOT to discover.
US embargo on "Not made here"?
"Not usually my go to..." Oh, boy, I can see that is going to change quickly!
Beautiful to see another band getting into it.
The guitar, not overplayed, yep, that's Emppu, our hero prankster :)
The Orchestra was recorded at The Angel Studios, Islington, London, UK.
It would be awesome if that could be live too, but incredibly expensive, maybe "Once", in the future.
Pyro from the "Organ pipes"! That would be cool.
The team that look after lighting, pyro, video wall, catering, etc, etc are called "Crewish",
some of them have been with them from the early years.
During the pandemic, they did their own cover album, all proceeds for the crew,
that's how much Nightwish appreciate them.
At the end of concert videos, you may notice the amount of credits...
Chrissie, yes, the lyrics need a good look over :)
They did have a backup vocal choir, also recorded in London.
Oh, there is a backup vocal, you have yet to discover (going to blow you away, you'll love it!)
"Reach that range..." Mmm, wait, wait, wait.
You are a great team too, kudos, and kiitos! (Finnish for thank you, you'll get that too, soon).
Soo cool. Thank you.
Nightwish Army (UK) reporting in
That was a very nice reaction, I am glad that you liked it
If you like the heavier side then you might like the song Romanticide
Wishing you all the best!
Thank you.
Haha, you guys.. great reaction! So much to discover with Nightwish. Nice to hear what kind of band you're playing in (21:39). I think you'll love the journey with NW. It's a "music-based" band 😉 And the love of good music is what unites us all. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
Link in the description to our playlists. Live rehearsals or Studio cuts. All original songs. We don't play covers.
Yes, 3 souls are taken by our Dutch Valkyrie Goddes of Metal... more Floor Jansen, watch the Beste Zangers 2019, she sings in different styles and different languages. She sings O Mio Babbino Caro and from the gamecube game Final Fantasy Chronicals, Sound of the Wind... She is working on different projects of Ayreon too, Valley of the Queens and The Day The World Break Down are good ones to start with.... you hear the London Philharmonic Orchestra who did the music for the movie's Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit in the musical break..
You summed up Emppu’s guitar solos - what the song needed.
Loved it. Wow!
P welcome to nightwish my friends they did they have some killer hard songs keep going you'll love them
such a funny reaction when goddess floor sings the guy feels it the woman stone cold stone cold its coldest reaction to floor ever funny
Great reaction
Greetings from 🇳🇱 🤘
Thank you 🙌
Welcome to Nightwish and our 6'1 Valkyrie Godess Floor Jansen. I see that Gen Gabriel has visited. Follow his suggestions on all things Nightwish and you can't go wrong.
Nightwish Army North Florida Airborne Div reporting in (I found Nightwish 3yrs ago love there music..im 60) enjoy the journey. Oh there were 82,000 at the concert.
It was huge. We are glad Martine introduced us to Nightwish. We are now fans! Thanks G.
Quick thanks to Ms. Martine...always working overtime! So sorry I've been MIA...my mom had a mild stroke so that's keeping me busy. But Nightwish is my factory reset...so I'm super happy to meet some new faces enjoying a new band! I'm gonna catch up on your reactions...I find y'all delightful!
Sorry to hear about your mother. Praying for a full recovery. Thank you for watching.
Oh, Amy, sorry to hear of your Mom, that's a lot of work,
hope you can get some help now and then, stay blessed.
@@stpfs9281 Kindest thanks! She's going to make a full recovery with time...she's in a rehab facility now and I've already set up in-home physical and speech therapy upon her rtn. Thankfully we live together. I have a sister...but my feral cat is more helpful!
Definitely check out more Nightwish.
I'm watching this video right now and just wanted to say that Finland has the most metal bands per capita in the world and Sweden is nr. 2. A Swede here 😄🤘
Good to meet you. Makes us want to go there! We're from a small town in Alabama.
You did something to the audio, its richer than it normally is. More around me than the original. I like it
Do I like this band ? Hell yes I love this band. Thank you.
Rock on!
Greatings from Denmark, try more Nightwish its awsome. They have evert genre and Floor the lead singer is amazing no matter what she sings.
Thanks, welcome to Nightwish
Welcome to the Nightwish tour and Gabriel is the right guide.
Guys, please continue your Nightwish journey...you will not regret it. Ghost Love Score, is the song to hook people, and it's a great song, but if you have any interest whatsoever in music theory, Tuomas Holopainen is a generational composer, arranger, and writer. They call him "The Metal Mozart", and while I prefer a comparison to Bach, Metal Mozart flows off the tongue better. Floor is widely considered the most versatile singer on the planet, and is without a doubt, considered the best metal female vocalist (and there are many). She can growl, scream, and sing like an angel. If you like heavier stuff, they get much heavier than this one. Try Noise, Ghost River, even Ever Dream and Story Time. If you want to see a true Magnum Opus, watch The Greatest Show on Earth and The Poet and the Pendulum, but later down the road once you have a grasp of what the band and Tuomas Holopainen does. He is the keyboardist by the way, and creates about 95 percent of all you see musically. I'm telling, this is one journey you'd enjoy!
We love it.
Welcome to 'our' world of Nightwish. :o)
You guys sound great 👍! Keep it up and I will keep checking you out
they are a symphony metal band. thaks for sharing. whatch floor singing shollow in a dutch show.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
Without a doubt! Thank You!
Brilliant laid back measured honest reaction, Interesting to see Debbie Harry's take on Nightwish too 😉- Hello from Scotland
Cheers from the US.
Cheers from Sweden btw we made ACDC famous because our hype affter their first live here ;). im an old Nightwish fan and even if i love singer Floor Jansen here in this version my fav will always be Tarja Turunen the old original singer. I love both singers though.
Wacken is the name of a small town in Germany with a population of less than 2000 people, where every year the biggest metal festival in the world takes place. Only at this show, there were more than 87,000 people in the audience.
Nightwish Ayreon, Within Temptation, Evergrey, Symphony X, Kamelot, Epica, man there is so much out there you missed on in the States. 😁😅
Wacken is a town in Germany. W's are pronounced as V's. So it is actually Vah-ken, like rockin with a V. This song is all about unrequited love or lost love.
BTW, Martine is an amazing young woman from The Netherlands. Her name is pronounced as in Martina in English. She's awesome!
Yes she is. Thank you for watching.
So VW is actually pronounced VV...
I always explain it like Warm -rm and add kken..
But pronouciation or something is always difficult to explain 🤘🎩
@@Syp74 More like "FV", as "V" is pronounced as "F" in German. So "Volkswagen" sounds something like "Folksvahgen".
@@calanor4130 i always thought like Vau-Weh..
For us Dutchies v and w sounds completely different
To many pause 😌
The keyboard is actually a Symphonic Organ which has every instrument of an orchestra in it plus the pipes are real so the sound of the Symphonic Organ can be heard. Symphonic Organ's are musical instruments that are known and used here in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world, I am surprised that Americans have never seen them and heard of them. We had one of them at my senior school here in England. Nightwish are the greatest Symphonic Metal Band in the world and Floor Jansen the greatest female singer on the planet. I am a Sabaton fan from England and Sabaton are from Sweden. Us Sabaton fan's do love Nightwish plus there singer Floor Jansen is married to the drummer of Sabaton Hannes van Dahl. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇸🇪🇸🇪🇫🇮🇱🇺💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Hahaha! Oh, that's mean.
It's just a wine rack!
Now you got to listen to the nightwish story time, ever dream, 7 days to wolves and so on great band. Then getting into the Japanese metal scene with Love bites , nemophila, band maids. There's so much good music in the rest of the world out of the USA
She also coverd Heats song Alone.... amazing 😍
hi guys, thanks for your reaction. Floor, the singer, is Dutch and married to the drummer of Sabaton. Tuomos (keyboards) is a musical genius and composes95% of their songs. This is a long wild ride. I always was into death and trashmetal, but listening to them and Epica (Dutch too) made me apreciate the use of symphonic orchestra;s (Tuomas wrote he music for the who London Pfylarmonic Orchestra and choirs) His nick name is Metal Mozart, I call him the rebirth of Mozart. The way how hw uses ruthm and key changes, transformings...is bizar. They also use a lot of tri tones to make music sound haunting (forbidden by the church :P ) Their music have deep meanings and the lyrics are poets.
True dat.
Hey guys, glad to see you enjoyed your introduction to Nightwish. Looking forward to more from you guys. Would appreciate you guys checking out one of my favorite bands, Sabaton. They have some ties to Nightwish that would be surprising to say the least. And since you are a faith based band I think you would enjoy these songs as a sort of introduction.

Thank you. Will do.
Ya y'all cool with me love ya already very cool you rock too I'm a fan this band rules your with the nightwish army I'm from MICHIGAN YEAH HAW
Yeeee Haaaww
nothing wrong with faith music, and Nightwish sings uplifting music most of the time but all their songs are human experience based. thanks from Colorado
Finland has more metal bands per capita than any other country in the world. The reason you don't hear many foreign metal bands or music in general as Americans is because Amerian radio doesn't play them. Not because they don't exist or aren't good / popular. Especially in metal, Europe is a very, very big breeding ground for very, very talented bands.
