I still can't believe that at this point, Floor was still only a 'guest' singer. She took songs that had been written for both Tarja and Anette, put her own spin on the performance, and yet despite all of the work she put in to it, still had no idea if she had a job at the end of it!! Mind-blowing!
Kevin Gunning, have a look at this trailer - ruclips.net/video/TnKe1-8hVus/видео.html - Tuomas gives you some information when (and why) both Floor and Troy were asked to become full members of Nightwish.
Her and Troy had already been asked to become permanent at this point. The band just wanted to keep it quiet for a while. I personally believe it is a part of why the Wacken performance was so special, that they finally knew this was their future!
Hi, Chase. @Phayntom (my husband) and I love your reaction videos. As the wife of a musician and a former teacher, one of the things that I appreciate most about your reactions is that you take the song/performance/video and explain aspects of the song or performance that the casual listener may not have noticed, or been aware of. You challenge your viewers' critical thinking, which is what teaching is all about. You are not only entertaining to watch, but your breakdowns are informative. We appreciate you. Keep up the amazing work! Nightwish doin' Nightwish things... I love it!!! Great reaction video, Chase!
CHASE WILL GO DOWN HE WILL DROWN DROWN, DEEPER DOWN Kidding aside, this was one of the NW songs that I only came to really appreciate when Floor took the reins. The back-and-forth between Marko and Floor on vocals, with Floor harmonizing higher in the back and hitting the bridge: after listening to this properly for the first time with Wacken 2013, I found myself singing 'do come across' randomly lol Anyhow, I'm excited to see the inflections and touches in this song that you no doubt will bring attention to! Edit: Chase, I also hoped you noticed how Emppu is almost always all over the place in concerts. Some of my favorite highlights in Wacken 2013 is how you can see Emppu and Floor playing 'tag' on stage, or Emppu messing with the band's equipment mid-song (I forgot which song on Wacken 2013 but there's a shot of Floor looking behind her, laughing, while Emppu passes and she has a hand on her back trying to cover the controls to her in-ear because she knows Emppu's about to mess with it again). Of course, Floor gets back at this by switching Emppu's beer with apple juice (which he hates).
@@jessicakoster2543 There is a video out there with some backstage views and it shows a crew member swapping out his Corona and then Emppu spewing a mouthful after taking a swig. I don't know if it was apple juice or vodka they put in it. The video was shot in the Tarja days so Emppu pranking seems to have a long history. Unfortunately I have not been able to find the video again. In another video, as the song was ending, Floor was standing on Tuomas' riser. Just as the last few notes ring out, she turns to Tuomas and says something. Tuomas nearly falls over laughing. Something had gone down, we have no idea what. In the Hartwell concert, Floor chases Emppu across the stage and he takes refuge on Troy's riser, refusing to come down. We can imagine Floor calling him a chicken for running away as she tries to coax him down. Always watch for the interplay between Floor and Emppu.
It's not just Floor that Emppu is messing around with. In "Ghost Love Score" Live in Costa Rica you can see Emppu pretending to re-tune Marko's bass guitar 😁
@@billattercliffe8655, I think in the Hartwall concert Floor was asking Emppu to dance with her, but Emppu - the shy country boy that he is - chose to flee.
@@jessicakoster2543 Ahh, I rewatched the performance and yes, that! So far I haven't seen video material about the apple juice but I remember it being a topic on Nightwish reddit and on RUclips comments from when the older Wacken 2013 performance videos were still up (before they got taken down and had to be reuploaded; I think it was 2014)
Would like to chime in with a few comment to this brilliant reaction and analazys: Floor: Her vocal technique was by then and still is so consumate that she herself must use the instrument that is her physical body and it´s ability to produce sound more or less as a fine tuned race car. By that I mean that she has all of her technical capabilities so ingrained into her physical self that she is no longer in need of deliberate and conscious decision making as to what expression should come out of her while performing. She is at the technical state where everything she utters simply comes out of her unstrained whatever the emotional content she is wanting to communicate. Thus her shifting between different stylistic trademarks has by now become second nature to her and she is unhindered in expressing it,- she simply just feels the content and meaning of the sounds she´s supposed to make at that particular spot in the song and out it comes,- like children speaking ,crying, laughing, yelling and singing without tensioning up in their bodies and souls. Floor performing is at the same state of being,- just with the full consciousness of a grown adult,- which makes is so powerful and compelling Emppu: An old blues guitarist once expressed it like this: " It takes about ten years to learn how to play the guitar,- then it takes ten more to learn when not to." Emppu is the embodiment of this thought. As a guitar player Emppu is in many ways any song based band´s wet dream of a guitarist. A competent and dedicated musician whos doesn´t use his time on stage to flaunt his rock star guitar hero status all over the place trying to steal the spotlight from whatever else is gioing on. Nightwish is on stage a group effort,- were Emppu not there the music would lack his incredible stability in performance level as well as his stage prescence. He´s an awesome guitarist at an ulta high professional performance level. As this song clearly shows more than once. What more is,- when the occasion calls for it,- he shreds the guitar to pieces without even thinking about it.
The one comment I need to make: Keep enjoying the music first, no matter what you do to please us. We will be there, I might not the like some songs of other bands and I might not like a song from Nightwish (and I do not like one in particular, but that is on me), just keep enjoying what YOU do.
Emppu putting the music first. Yup. He might be one of the few guitarists out there that is very high on musical professionalism when it comes to playing combining it with a total lack and disregard for what i call guitar gymnastics. He will do powerstance of course. But that is basically it. Because he doesn't need it. What he does need is the interaction with the fans and the band to make it fun. No guitar joggling, no acrobatics. A bloody good guitarist.
You missed Floor's growl in the first verse and I knew you were gonna get it in the second one and man did you not disappoint, I loved that reaction! 😀🤭
@@lorimarchand8381 no growling, but few might try and come close to cover "Heart" Floor however... Well she is floor. After forever - Alone (Heart- Alone cover)
Your reactions are just so damn good. Actually, Emppu's rhythm guitar pieces are sometimes very challenging since he often plays riffs that people tend to play with single string but he plays them 3 note power chords. Dark Chest of Wonders is a great example of that.
Can't believe you've done so many reactions to Nightwish already. I wish this journey would never end. Thank god, we still have a good amount of songs in line. Please react to Sleeping Sun live in Tampere soon 😊
This is Nightwish’s best under-the-radar song, I think. It’s just so good! I love the overall vibe of melancholic, creepy and beautiful, sometimes all at once. The overlay of vocals is brilliant. The catchy poppy riff mixed in with the ugly metal guitar is also very special. And then there’s Floor’s spiraling vocals in the middle. This is the kind of song that only one band could have written, and that’s them.
'Dark Chest of Wonders' is another great song from Wacken 2013, it was the first song, an amazing start of the show 😉 Although if you want more of Emppu you should check out 'Stargazers'(live in Tampere).
Marco troll under the bridge saying what he's going to do to you if you try to cross, Floor saying she's going to do it anyway. Brilliant bringing of a fairy tale to life.
Man I love you analisis. I been a fan of nightwish since 2000., and you have make see (lisen) things I have not pay atention to. Thanks for it. Have a damn good night. take care. A fan from Argentina
Just watched your first Nightwish reaction /ghost love score) after this actual one, so awesome to see that again. You were kinda blown away and you never lost the way you are amazed again and again after so many songs. So beautiful to watch that older stuff again.
-04:08 The moment the music stops and it's just her: 82:000 hearts must have stopped, everyone holding their breath staring at Floor❤ completely frozen.
Never thought I'd see a dwarf-ed Lucius Malfoy crab jumping around in front of fuck-thousand people while positively KILLING a purple guitar. Yet here I am, and I love every second of it
I've said this in a comment before, but I absolutely appreciate how much credit you keep giving Emppu. For most RUclipsrs reacting to Nightwish, I've always felt like Emppu wasn't getting nowhere near enough love and attention as he deserves. And I suppose it's largely due to the fact that he never plays to his ego. He could easily steal the show, any time he likes, but he never does because he always serves the song, the band, the music. I luuuuuuurve his riffs. I luuuurve his melodic solos. And I love how they're never overdone. He seems to always hit that sweet spot where he never does more or less than it's needed to give any song he's playing its due. Side note: on Endless Forms Most Beautiful (I mean the titular song on the album) he does my single most favourite riff ever. It's just gold. You should totes react to it as well~!
That harmony between Marko and Floor is really, really awesome in this song. I have to say though, it was my favourite one in the Anette-era also. Shows what a beast of a vocalist Marko is.
Congrats Chase.So far as I know, you are the only reactor getting it. Yes she Growls... Love your reactions bro. Dead Boy ' Poem is a beautiful, emotional and powerful song. Floor looks of course stunning in her ceremonial battle armour and her Brothers are killing it. Peace
I must have listened to this song hundreds of times by now and did not pick up on some of the stuff you talked about. Every time, haha! I do hope that at some point you have a listen to studio versions of Imaginaerum songs. Rest Calm is a really good one, as there is no decent live performance of it but there's also a lot to unpack.
Totally agree! The closest we’ve had so far is the beautiful acoustic rendition of How’s the Heart. I can only imagine how great Noise and the others from the new album will sound live.
You are only second from reactor's which I watched for today by almost 8 month of my NW reaction journey, who realise when Floor growling 🤗 Love you style.trying to look all your content. Nightwish music with me from early 00th but only this year they just save my sanity when war came on my country and city. Hail from Nightwish army Ukraine 💙💛 🤟
Floor just posted a video on her channel where she explains how her body (chest, head, vocal cords) can be compared to different parts of a guitar and that it is an instrument. She started posting vocal masterclass videos.
I like your comment about Emppu. He doesn't go overboard at the expense of the cohesiveness of the song, he hits the right notes strongly and cleanly. He takes his role as a cog in the Nightwish machine seriously, a team player as band members should be.
My screen can’t handle this beast of a reactor... And Emppu is my spirit animal 🦀 Btw off topic, have you checked out the new Holy Roller video by Spiritbox ft Crystal Lake’s Ryo?
The Imaginaerum album (where this song comes from) holds a special place in my heart, having been my introduction to Nightwish and something that really helped me in difficult times.
I would actually love it if you would ever do a reaction to the whole Imaginaerum album. Anette isn't my favorite singer but she did such a fantastic job on that album. When I first heard the intro to "Slow love slow" i thought "never ever can she sing something like that" but she did and it sounds great. Her bright and "youthful" voice gives the right edge of madness and craziness to songs like Ghost River and (especially) Scaretale, but she also has this gentleness when singing Turn Loose The Mermaids or The Crow, The Owl And The Dove. It's brilliant.
I have a suggestion, since we all enjoyed your double reaction to How's the heart. Maybe you would like to react to the evolution of Nightwish. The song Kinslayer is recorded several times with Tarja. For example live DVD From wishes to eternity, filmed in 2000. Recently Floor sang it in Buenos Aires 2019. I think they both show how talented they were 20 years ago but also how much they've grown and evolved.
You’ve got a great channel man. I don’t understand anything about music but my ears know amazing music when they hear it. Because of your comments I’m just now starting to comprehend why I think it’s so amazing so thank you 🙏
I absolutely love your reactions, Chase! I’ve had the pleasure of discovering Nightwish thrice: once initially, again after seeing them live, and once more finding your reactions/breakdowns. So I guess revisiting your Nightwish roots is a fourth? 😬😅 If you’re itching for a return to Marco’s vocal range, I highly suggest “Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red.” Thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to every Saturday morning 🥰
The intro riff feels like a tribute to `Eddie van Halen 🎸(RIP EDDIE, KEEP ON ROCKIN IN HEAVEN 🤘🏻), Ain’t Talkin`Bout Love... and just an other great reaction Chase.. well done 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻 stay save, and have damn good day 👊🏼
Thank you Chase for all your reaction. I think since i hear you , my english was better and better and i am a 64 y old man. 😃 Emppu, the most underrated gitarrist in the world. Ihear him from the beginning from Nightwish, he can play everything, but he don`t want to be a poser. He play what he must to play by Nightwish, but his potential is so much more and he the fun factor in this Band. The jokes between Floor and him are awesome.
There's many, many reactions about nightwish on many channels. Your reactions are always some of the most interesting. You give many elements to undestand the structure of the song and you made it in a way that everobody could understand. Thank you so much.
You just have to check High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) from the End of Era concert ... longer solos for Emppu to show his skills and Marko just nails the vocals.
Chase you are the best reactor of anyone out there. Your breakdown of this incredible music is technical but real in nature. The nuances you pick up are amazing, and just your pure joy at their mastery of the craft is like no other!!
One of Floor's least talked about skills, but also one of her best, is her ability to be a backing vocal or backing instrument. She will take the backseat for the music, same as Emppu. Same as everyone in the band honestly. Also I think Ghost River was the song that Emppu would turn off Floor's in ear monitor for, so in some video's you can see her do a little spinning "dance" to keep an eye on him when he moves across the stage. This behavior came before or after Floor switch his beer with apple juice.
You should go for the music video to Bye Bye Beautiful next since it features Anette and it's a song we'll likely never hear Floor sing since they have said they will not do it live ever again. It's another song from Dark Passion Play about the break up with Tarja.
great reaction again chase thanx :) little fact finish heavy metal. it´s year 1985 and first 2 heavy metal bands start in finland, stone and tarot. tarot band build marko hietala and his brother. so marko hietala is the face in finland heavy metal and grand old man :) 1996 tuomas holopainen start nightwish band and finnish first female heavy metal singer tarja turunen start(pioneer also in finland and world also). soon these 2 was same band,how´s cool is that. when other countrys was nirvana mania in 90´s,finland stay metal mania. today finland have world record still,that how many heavy bands we have. number is now 70 bands/ every 100000 people,almoust 4000 heavy bands to 5,5 million people country. you see already that tarot song there,so very good. have great day there and soon new week.
Next "Last Ride of the Day". Or at least, when you feel like you have reacted to most of that Wacken concert, you must end with a reaction of the last son "Last Ride of the Day". Sad story: I personally love that song, I had a dog who was 12 yo, but she was very sick and after a month of several vets and drugs, she just was suffering. And while I was carrying her to the vet to put her down, I listened to that song just to give me the strength to do what was best for her.
That opening riff made me think I accidently clicked a Van Halen song when I first heard it. Listen to the whole album daily. Best live concert I've heard since Metallica 89 Seattle
Hey there Chase, always a pleasure to see and hear your reactions to Nightwish. Always learning bits and pieces about their music. Ad well putt: she's doeing everything, 'cos that's what Floor does
I get SO excited when I see your reactions.... especially to Nightwish! I have been requesting this one for a while now. It's one of my favs, and yet I did not like it the first time I heard the studio version. I love how you break things down and that you notice all the little behind the scenes music that goes on around the up front parts. It has even helped me to listen to ALL the parts of the music. Again.... thanks for your energy, positivity, and authenticity!!!
To see where Nightwish is coming from, check out the live video from their show in Liperi 30.7.1999. They're all still so young, but already kicking ass.
Floor is, more or less, playing the roll of the "Siren" in this song. Nightwish actually have an awesome song called "The Siren" and there's a concert version of the song featuring Tarja from End Of An Era. I think you would enjoy it quite alot!
God damn chase, you are too good. I had listened to this a thousand times, and you come in and spot her cheeky growl on a first listen, which I never picked up. Keep on being awesome and have a damn good day!
floor is incredible i honestly dont think theres nothing she cant do. she also covered in her earlier group after forever a cover of hearts alone song. omg blew me away. also her doing the phamtom of the opera absolutely beautiful and the songs she does in other languages, she blows me away. hope u get to check them out.
![ROADIE REACTIONS | "Nightwish - Ghost River (Live)" | [FIRST TIME SONG REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/02QktS0rdIM/mqdefault.jpg)
"Nightwish, doing Nightwish things".
You should be on their marketing team. 😉
It's going to be the name of the next album.
Unfortunately that tells people nothing - if you don't know Nightwish is amazing, you wouldn't guess that that is what is implied here...
I think a reaction to Nightwish's cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes would be a great one to do next. I can't wait to see your jaw drop. Lol
This!!!
Yes, please!
Yes! It's such a great performance, i love Pink Floyd, but i actually prefer this version of the song. Fingers crossed Chase will do this one soon 😃🤞
Def needs to be on his short list
AYE！
Still waiting for Epica Sancta Terra, feat Floor.
This would be great
Or do Stabat Mater Dolorosa ( Epica feature. Floor ) same retrospect concert but now only the voices of the twoo best vocals ever.
Please do both, Chase
To be fair, taking any other Epica song would also be worth it. Simone Simons is an epic singer on her own also
I think you are ready for Weak Fantasy - Tampere.
love that music... and it seems very underrated...
I still can't believe that at this point, Floor was still only a 'guest' singer. She took songs that had been written for both Tarja and Anette, put her own spin on the performance, and yet despite all of the work she put in to it, still had no idea if she had a job at the end of it!! Mind-blowing!

Her and Troy had already been asked to become permanent at this point. The band just wanted to keep it quiet for a while. I personally believe it is a part of why the Wacken performance was so special, that they finally knew this was their future!
So, the lead piece in the beginning, the guitar, was a throwback to and homage to eddie van halen. :) Weak Fantasy from Tampere. Heavy and good.
And the squeels in the guitar solo are a nodd to Anathema's Sleepless.
@Uncaged Ulfhedinn I agree, Weak fantasy is a must - but personally I think live from Bravalla 2016 is the best version
@@neilmorgan6620 I agree I prefer Bravalla too
Ain't talking 'bout love.
Dan Burrito yeah, I get Ain’t Talkin’ ‘bout Love, but I’ve heard others mention the similarity to Panama as well.

Revamp - wildcard
chumppi pretty sure he did not
Great song. Highly recommend!
Would like to chime in with a few comment to this brilliant reaction and analazys:
Floor:
Her vocal technique was by then and still is so consumate that she herself must use the instrument that is her physical body and it´s ability to produce sound more or less as a fine tuned race car. By that I mean that she has all of her technical capabilities so ingrained into her physical self that she is no longer in need of deliberate and conscious decision making as to what expression should come out of her while performing.
She is at the technical state where everything she utters simply comes out of her unstrained whatever the emotional content she is wanting to communicate.
Thus her shifting between different stylistic trademarks has by now become second nature to her and she is unhindered in expressing it,- she simply just feels the content and meaning of the sounds she´s supposed to make at that particular spot in the song and out it comes,- like children speaking ,crying, laughing, yelling and singing without tensioning up in their bodies and souls.
Floor performing is at the same state of being,- just with the full consciousness of a grown adult,- which makes is so powerful and compelling
Emppu:
An old blues guitarist once expressed it like this: " It takes about ten years to learn how to play the guitar,- then it takes ten more to learn when not to."
Emppu is the embodiment of this thought.
As a guitar player Emppu is in many ways any song based band´s wet dream of a guitarist.
A competent and dedicated musician whos doesn´t use his time on stage to flaunt his rock star guitar hero status all over the place trying to steal the spotlight from whatever else is gioing on.
Nightwish is on stage a group effort,- were Emppu not there the music would lack his incredible stability in performance level as well as his stage prescence.
He´s an awesome guitarist at an ulta high professional performance level.
As this song clearly shows more than once.
What more is,- when the occasion calls for it,- he shreds the guitar to pieces without even thinking about it.

Hear, hear. And he actually has a whole range of power stances.
You missed Floor's growl in the first verse and I knew you were gonna get it in the second one and man did you not disappoint, I loved that reaction! 😀🤭
Did I hear that?!?!?! 🤣
I love it when you get SHOCKED!
you should hear Floor in her earlier days with her band Revamp, the song wildcard will blow your mind (growls like you never heard her do )
Disdain by Revamp as well.
Robert Sheeler Disdain for sure
Definitely Disdain. She's ridiculous in that. Totally ridiculous. Normal singers can't do that.
Disdain really shows every aspect of what she can do vocally.
@@lorimarchand8381 no growling, but few might try and come close to cover "Heart"
Floor however... Well she is floor.

You sir take us to school on the theory of the music. Class is always in session in your videos, Professor of the Pause.
I wanna frame this comment!!!
Got my cup of coffee in my Pause mug, listened to Chase doing a Nightwish reaction...it's a damn good day!!
Pause mug lol
@@Haju72 I bought one of the mugs, it has PAUSE on the back...
If you want something completely different, can you react to Sleeping Sun at Tampere. it’s one of their ballads and my personal favourite ever song.
Same. It makes me ugly cry.
Superb track.
Your reactions are just so damn good. Actually, Emppu's rhythm guitar pieces are sometimes very challenging since he often plays riffs that people tend to play with single string but he plays them 3 note power chords. Dark Chest of Wonders is a great example of that.
She's doing everything, 'cause that's what Floor does ........... excellent! LOL
Can't believe you've done so many reactions to Nightwish already. I wish this journey would never end. Thank god, we still have a good amount of songs in line.
Please react to Sleeping Sun live in Tampere soon 😊
It won't end. I will be doing Nightwish as long as they keep making music
@@ChaseCarneson that's music to my ears!
good stuff Chase .... thanks ... really enjoying these Saturday mornings ....
Glad to hear it!
You are one of the few people that realize she is growling there. Most miss it.
Very few, considering the number of Nightwish reactions out there now.

I'm so glad you finally did this one 🤩 been looking forward to it from your very first upload
Came here for my daily fix of Floor, Nightwish and Chase. I wasn't disappointed....
Ha ha that lost look when Marko's vocals came in 😂😂
Marco troll under the bridge saying what he's going to do to you if you try to cross, Floor saying she's going to do it anyway. Brilliant bringing of a fairy tale to life.

I luuuuuuurve his riffs. I luuuurve his melodic solos. And I love how they're never overdone.
He seems to always hit that sweet spot where he never does more or less than it's needed to give any song he's playing its due.
Side note: on Endless Forms Most Beautiful (I mean the titular song on the album) he does my single most favourite riff ever. It's just gold. You should totes react to it as well~!
We've all pooled in together to get you a new pause button. 🤘😜🤘
Keep on Nightwishing on.
You've paid your debt with this one! Next, Dead Boy's Poem
Absolutely, I’ve only been asking for this one since GLS 😋💞
The debt is paid in full
@Chase Carneson you make me so happy Chase 🥰💞
Fast becoming one of my favourite Nightwish tracks.
That harmony between Marko and Floor is really, really awesome in this song. I have to say though, it was my favourite one in the Anette-era also. Shows what a beast of a vocalist Marko is.
I AM HERE.. again! Great stuff!
Congrats Chase.So far as I know, you are the only reactor getting it. Yes she Growls... Love your reactions bro. Dead Boy ' Poem is a beautiful, emotional and powerful song.
Floor looks of course stunning in her ceremonial battle armour and her Brothers are killing it. Peace
Tankthetech also gets it.
I must have listened to this song hundreds of times by now and did not pick up on some of the stuff you talked about. Every time, haha!
I do hope that at some point you have a listen to studio versions of Imaginaerum songs. Rest Calm is a really good one, as there is no decent live performance of it but there's also a lot to unpack.
Nightwish just puts a big smile on my face. Love them!!
I can't wait to get live versions of songs from the new album. Studio versions are great, but Nightwish live is something else.
My thoughts exactly. Can't wait for their new songs live.🔥
Totally agree! The closest we’ve had so far is the beautiful acoustic rendition of How’s the Heart. I can only imagine how great Noise and the others from the new album will sound live.
You are only second from reactor's which I watched for today by almost 8 month of my NW reaction journey, who realise when Floor growling 🤗 Love you style.trying to look all your content. Nightwish music with me from early 00th but only this year they just save my sanity when war came on my country and city. Hail from Nightwish army Ukraine 💙💛 🤟
Floor just posted a video on her channel where she explains how her body (chest, head, vocal cords) can be compared to different parts of a guitar and that it is an instrument. She started posting vocal masterclass videos.
I like your comment about Emppu. He doesn't go overboard at the expense of the cohesiveness of the song, he hits the right notes strongly and cleanly. He takes his role as a cog in the Nightwish machine seriously, a team player as band members should be.
Finally back to "Wacken" and live performance again.
My screen can’t handle this beast of a reactor...
And Emppu is my spirit animal 🦀
Btw off topic, have you checked out the new Holy Roller video by Spiritbox ft Crystal Lake’s Ryo?
Funny you ask. Their new label contacted me to ask to do it so I definitely will be soon.
@@ChaseCarneson because I work for their social media...in my dreams.
That's awesome! Looking forward to that!
@@juliettemcgee9055 haha you never know.
The Imaginaerum album (where this song comes from) holds a special place in my heart, having been my introduction to Nightwish and something that really helped me in difficult times.
You always add a little to our appreciation of the songs, thank you! Yes, doing everything "because that is what Floor does."
My pleasure!
I would actually love it if you would ever do a reaction to the whole Imaginaerum album. Anette isn't my favorite singer but she did such a fantastic job on that album. When I first heard the intro to "Slow love slow" i thought "never ever can she sing something like that" but she did and it sounds great. Her bright and "youthful" voice gives the right edge of madness and craziness to songs like Ghost River and (especially) Scaretale, but she also has this gentleness when singing Turn Loose The Mermaids or The Crow, The Owl And The Dove. It's brilliant.
Please, Nightwish Master Passion Greed! Incredibly heavy from this band. And a song they'll never play live.
I have a suggestion, since we all enjoyed your double reaction to How's the heart.
Maybe you would like to react to the evolution of Nightwish. The song Kinslayer is recorded several times with Tarja. For example live DVD From wishes to eternity, filmed in 2000. Recently Floor sang it in Buenos Aires 2019.
I think they both show how talented they were 20 years ago but also how much they've grown and evolved.
You’ve got a great channel man. I don’t understand anything about music but my ears know amazing music when they hear it. Because of your comments I’m just now starting to comprehend why I think it’s so amazing so thank you 🙏
That's amazing. Thank you dude
The air drumming is strong with this one 🤟 great choice for this week 🧐
I absolutely love your reactions, Chase! I’ve had the pleasure of discovering Nightwish thrice: once initially, again after seeing them live, and once more finding your reactions/breakdowns.
So I guess revisiting your Nightwish roots is a fourth? 😬😅
If you’re itching for a return to Marco’s vocal range, I highly suggest “Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red.”
Thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to every Saturday morning 🥰
"Nightwish doing Nightwish things" wow awesome reaction you could not have done that any better. Awesome. That was Nightwish Awesome!!
not only is she a great singer but she really gets so into the songs and is enjoying the journey she is on
The intro riff feels like a tribute to `Eddie van Halen 🎸(RIP EDDIE, KEEP ON ROCKIN IN HEAVEN 🤘🏻), Ain’t Talkin`Bout Love... and just an other great reaction Chase.. well done 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻 stay save, and have damn good day 👊🏼
I love you and your reactions so much. So, so much.
Thank you Chase for all your reaction. I think since i hear you , my english was better and better and i am a 64 y old man. 😃 Emppu, the most underrated gitarrist in the world. Ihear him from the beginning from Nightwish, he can play everything, but he don`t want to be a poser. He play what he must to play by Nightwish, but his potential is so much more and he the fun factor in this Band. The jokes between Floor and him are awesome.
Sorry he is the fun factor.
The moment this nasty breakdown comes in... Marco looks like a fucking war god. 🤘🏼
There's many, many reactions about nightwish on many channels. Your reactions are always some of the most interesting. You give many elements to undestand the structure of the song and you made it in a way that everobody could understand. Thank you so much.
Nightwish army 🤘🇫🇮 "this not what I excepted" not an unknown sentence 😅 😂Stay safe and Take care...
Nightwish.
Expect the unexpected.
High Hopes. Definitely. Please 😭❤️
I am not a musician, but I just love this particular drummer oh so much
You just have to check High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) from the End of Era concert ... longer solos for Emppu to show his skills and Marko just nails the vocals.
Marko doesn't just nail the vocals. He rivets them. (See what I did there? OK, I'll get me coat.)
@@thisworldofwater8017 :)
Chase you are the best reactor of anyone out there. Your breakdown of this incredible music is technical but real in nature. The nuances you pick up are amazing, and just your pure joy at their mastery of the craft is like no other!!
I appreciate you.
Thank you for not busting me for calling you a tractor not a reactor!!! Hahah
Hi there, thanks, this is 1 of my favourite NW songs😄❤️
time for a cold shower. I see 🤘🤘🤘
the moment when he notices the growl lmao
Check out "Rest Calm" from the Imaginaerum album!
One of Floor's least talked about skills, but also one of her best, is her ability to be a backing vocal or backing instrument. She will take the backseat for the music, same as Emppu. Same as everyone in the band honestly.
Also I think Ghost River was the song that Emppu would turn off Floor's in ear monitor for, so in some video's you can see her do a little spinning "dance" to keep an eye on him when he moves across the stage. This behavior came before or after Floor switch his beer with apple juice.
🤣
I think it was during I want my tears back during this same concert
Oh... from this album Scaretale video is must have to watch, listen, react 🙂 I love this crazy circus 🎪
You should go for the music video to Bye Bye Beautiful next since it features Anette and it's a song we'll likely never hear Floor sing since they have said they will not do it live ever again. It's another song from Dark Passion Play about the break up with Tarja.
great reaction again chase thanx :) little fact finish heavy metal. it´s year 1985 and first 2 heavy metal bands start in finland, stone and tarot. tarot band build marko hietala and his brother. so marko hietala is the face in finland heavy metal and grand old man :) 1996 tuomas holopainen start nightwish band and finnish first female heavy metal singer tarja turunen start(pioneer also in finland and world also). soon these 2 was same band,how´s cool is that. when other countrys was nirvana mania in 90´s,finland stay metal mania. today finland have world record still,that how many heavy bands we have. number is now 70 bands/ every 100000 people,almoust 4000 heavy bands to 5,5 million people country. you see already that tarot song there,so very good. have great day there and soon new week.
Floor 🤩 Nightwish 🤩
My favorite Nightwish song! If it's even possible to pick one.
Chase is my favourite song reacting guy!
Next "Last Ride of the Day". Or at least, when you feel like you have reacted to most of that Wacken concert, you must end with a reaction of the last son "Last Ride of the Day".
Sad story: I personally love that song, I had a dog who was 12 yo, but she was very sick and after a month of several vets and drugs, she just was suffering. And while I was carrying her to the vet to put her down, I listened to that song just to give me the strength to do what was best for her.
Another good option is to combine Last Rid of the Day with the Greatest show on Earth because they played those end-to-end during the Tampere show.
@@MikkoRantalainen Yeah but he already did TGSOE
She was growling at the end of the first call and answer section of this song as well.
Every time I hear this I react the same way to Emppu's guitar tone in this! Just sick!
So happy to hear you will be doing the CD2, Chase. And take as many pauses as you want. You are killing it, mate!
Nice one my friend.
You’ve got to work in Ayreon the day the world breaks down man. It’s a ride.
First riff reminds me a lot to “Ain’t talking bout love” from Van Halen. All the song is brutal. Love it.
That opening riff made me think I accidently clicked a Van Halen song when I first heard it.
Listen to the whole album daily. Best live concert I've heard since Metallica 89 Seattle
'Jukka is a great drummer and here's why' could be a whole video by itself and I'd watch the shit out of it. Another great breakdown Chase 👏
Thanks Chase. This is one of my favourites. Great to hear your breakdown of it.
Thumbs up for Chase! Now that I've seen this I do think I'll have a damned good day. ;-)
I like the way Floor moves.
Hey there Chase,
always a pleasure to see and hear your reactions to Nightwish.
Always learning bits and pieces about their music.
Ad well putt: she's doeing everything, 'cos that's what Floor does
Happy Saturday, Chase ! AWESOME Song 👌😁... can't wait to see what happens with this one ❤️...
Epic! I appreciate all of the Nightwish. Thanks again, mate. :)
I get SO excited when I see your reactions.... especially to Nightwish! I have been requesting this one for a while now. It's one of my favs, and yet I did not like it the first time I heard the studio version. I love how you break things down and that you notice all the little behind the scenes music that goes on around the up front parts. It has even helped me to listen to ALL the parts of the music. Again.... thanks for your energy, positivity, and authenticity!!!
I get excited when you watch these.
To see where Nightwish is coming from, check out the live video from their show in Liperi 30.7.1999. They're all still so young, but already kicking ass.
Floor is, more or less, playing the roll of the "Siren" in this song. Nightwish actually have an awesome song called "The Siren" and there's a concert version of the song featuring Tarja from End Of An Era. I think you would enjoy it quite alot!
God damn chase, you are too good.
I had listened to this a thousand times, and you come in and spot her cheeky growl on a first listen, which I never picked up.
Keep on being awesome and have a damn good day!
floor is incredible i honestly dont think theres nothing she cant do. she also covered in her earlier group after forever a cover of hearts alone song. omg blew me away. also her doing the phamtom of the opera absolutely beautiful and the songs she does in other languages, she blows me away. hope u get to check them out.
