I am a 72-year-old grandfather, I never listened to Metal. Since I had first heard Floor and Nightwish 3 years ago, I can enjoy them all day, they are great.
@@abihagarI've been a metalhead since I was 13, and been a fan of Nightwish since the early 2000's. I love that these channels are popping up and giving Nightwish the exposure they richly deserve. Back then I was one of just a few people that was running around annoying my friends with the phrase, you gotta hear these guys. That hard work paid of 20 years after the fact. lol
I always tell people who never heard of Nightwish, That Nightwish is one of the Best Bands with one of the Best Female Singers that the Majority never have heard off... Very Sad but so True.
Iˋm a Finnish girl, and Iˋm really proud of Nightwish. They had a great show in Tampere 2015 (Finland). You must listen to Weak Fantasy.Oh my god what a song😍
@@ceesvink6984 i am...a very proud... *DWARF* . That was the name of my longest running DnD char and he was a Dwarf. According to his background story the family name comes from an incident with a fight between one of his ancestors, whose weapon had been broken and a giant whom he had headbutted in closest vital spot he could reach...
Emppu, the guitarist, is the prankster of the band. During one song in Wacken 2013 he unblugged Floor's in-ear when he passed her from behind. Floor has about half a minute to get it right again before it's her time to sing again. In the beginning of the song you can see Emppu talking to Troy about what he has in store for Floor. When Emppu passes Floor again they face each other, Emppu is smiling, Got you! Floor looks down on him, litterally, but lovingly. Emppu drinks beer, Corona mostly. The story tells that Floor had a payback arranging so that they put apple juice in Emppu's beer bottle. Emppu hates apple juice, so when he took a sip he spat it out right away. Emppu also often makes contact with individuals in the crow, and throws pics in the middle of songs. A fan once asked Floor: "If you had a fight with Emppu, who would win?" Floor: "Emppu, he is a black belt judoka!" As a junior he won the Finnish Championship, bronze medal in Nordic Championships. He says music saved him from sports. Tuomas loves red wine. He has a bottle holder under the keyboard. On the End of an Era concert DVD you can see Tuomas pouring wine straight from the bottle to Emppu's mouth in the middle of a song, Emppu just keeps on playing all the time. Tuomas takes a sip as well.
Yes, it is Floor, just like the one the walk on, I am in her fanclub. Her whole name is Floor Elisabeth Marie Jansen, the J in Jansen sounds like a Y, nicknames are the Valkyrie Goddess and Queen of Metal, and she is the sweetest and most humble person you could ever meet. I mean I gush over her greatness, and she gets embarrassed, says thank you with a smile. She says, I am just Floor. I am a 54 year old Georgia boy. This band and lady never stop amazing, just be prepared.
There is only one singer that can growl and sound angelic .....within the same phrase. That is the Metal Goddess herself, Floor Jansen . Definitely one of the Nightwish top songs. Love all your genuine reactions 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Floor is also a country girl. She lives on a farm and has horses. She is married to the drummer of a band called Sabaton. They have a daughter together. She records songs for her RUclips channel at her farm studio.
Wacken isn't done yet, every song is like this, the whole show, great reaction again from you. Tuomas is an amazing composer. Dead Boys Poem from Buenos Aires is a beautiful ballad and Marco on the double neck. Keep going with Nightwish.
For a couple of songs to get more of Marco, check out their Pink Floyd cover of High Hopes (David Gilmore liked it too) from the End of An Era tour, While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley & The Islander from Tampera.
The best album in my opinion is their latest album, Human and Nature. Every song is a highlight in the rock world seen. All compositions, fantastic lirics and not just songs.
Ghost River is in my top 5 Nightwish favorites, Floor and Marco's vocal interaction is beyond incredible. Thank you for a minimal interrupted reaction. I do value your thoughts.
Your reactions are great. Full of enthousiasm, admiration for NW. I love it. There is still a lot to discover. Weak Fantasy, Shudder before the beautiful, Dark Chest of Wonders, Slaying the dreamer, Devil and the deep dark ocean and a lot more.
It may be a while until Nightwish returns to being as powerful as the time Marco was there. But a new album is on the way and we'll see how well Tuomas adapts his songwriting.
Hi , beautiful people , great comment , great song , great band , always great to get your reaction from this band Nigthwisch and Floor and Marco (ps, your music and comment was a bit soft) but you are captivated by the band Nigthwisch and you are not the only ones, as you have already noticed this band is known and loved all over the world , sold millions of records and the fans are really from every continent , from anywhere .their previous tour saw more than 1500 million people live, they also performed for a year and a half all over the world.keep going with this fantastic band Nigthwisch , there is still so much to discover from this band. I already heard that you have a list of Gabriel,, our director say of the Nigthwisch rabbethol fan club, have a lot of fun and we will follow you. Thank you for this fantastic comment love to you already , and stay safe and keep going nigthwisch🤘🤘❤️❤️🤘🤘👍
Great reaction once again. It's so much fun watching you discover their music. I like to compare it with a book that you just can't put away, all you want is more and more. Well, no worries, there certainly is more. Take care and see you again soon!
You guys are just SOOO cool. I love watching your wonderment at each new Nightwish song and you make me feel joy from the inside out. You're just the best, I am so glad I found you !! 😊😊🤗🤗❤
If you want to see the most fun Nightwish had on stage, then check out "I Want My Tears Back Live from Buenos Aires. It is an experience in and of itself
There's three versions of I Want My Tears Back that ought to be seen - Buenos Aires 2018 for the crazy crowd, Wacken 2013 for Emppu's prank on Floor, and Helsinki 2018 (fan-cam, but pretty good quality) to see Floor chase Emppu right offstage trying to get him to dance! And then he spends the whole song trying to avoid her, making funny "help! I'm scared!" faces and sticking up on the riser by Troy or Tuomas so Floor the Dancing Monster won't get him.
🇫🇮 👍 This song was one of the 1st that Tuomas wrote for the "Imaginaerum" album. According to Tuomas: "Since it's a dramatic album about the celebration of life and existence, you need the dark side as well. I love the dark side and I love all kinds of evil stuff, so we needed a few songs to describe those. 'Ghost River' and 'Rest Calm' are the two songs that are talking about the dark side of life." More specifically, this song is a duel between the Devil (Marco) and Mother Gaia (Floor).
Nice that you also note Jukka ... cause he really shines and is awesome drummer. Naturally they all are great....Emppu (Erno) is a founding member of NW (with Tuomas and Tarja )and so great guitarist.
You guys seem to really appreciate the music, it's great to watch your reaction. The band members are all so freakishly talented. The drummer Jukka is insanely good.
The first time I listened to Nightwish I got instant floorgasms 🙈😄. Not only Floor is talented but pretty much the whole band and they have very good chemistry together. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥🔥🎇
I rarely comment on videos but I’ve watched hundreds of Nightwish reactions. I absolutely ADORE the everything-ness this band brings. And I’ve really enjoyed your reactions to Nightwish! It’s so amazing to see other people fall in love with this band like I have!! Much love to y’all from Texas!!
Clever reminder is when Y'all Prounounce FLOOR..like or as DOOR...😉...furthermore..y'all guys and girl..Your Amazing and we Really Really enjoying All of ya Nightwish reactions 😎💥💪💜🦋😄👽👌👌👌...love and Light from Holland to USA y'all 💥⚘💥
The Nightwish journey will change with every song. The diversity in both music and vocals is simply stellar. Enjoy the ride. It will change you in ways you won't see coming. Love the reactions. Rock on!!
Same old thing with Nightwish...something different and awesome!! lol Tuomas' musical genius has a Floor...but no ceiling. Carry on with more NW, Dark Chest Of Wonders was the opener for 2013 Wacken if you want to see how they opened this incredible concert. Cheers!
Haha, 7:32 ..Animal to MM: "You're the Mouseman, hit it!" 😂 My pleasure Animal! And may I say that Mouseman really did a great job once again, keeping the flow of this NW river going, while also giving you guys the opportunity to vent. I mean at some point, even I would've begged him to pauze because of awesomeness-overload! And for sure, at 3:45 Mouseman seemed to have noticed Floor sneaking in one of her trademark growls there? Anyhew, so much to enjoy in this one, but for me it's the unexpected twists & turns that put the cherry on the cake. From the sudden introduction of the creepy children's choir 8:33 after Marko's vocal storm, to amping it up again.. And then, when every other band would've gone full blast, the most epic breaks ever being put on a crescendo (8:47). This is Floor's moment to shine with devastating delicacy! I would've dropped tt floor right there & then. So ty guys once again for a lovely reaction. Animal, I see you in due time when you get to that Wintersun ("Sons of Winter And Stars") drum tornado called Kai Hahto. May want to strap Mouseman and the others firmly to their chairs bcz you guys will definitely be blown away, haha! Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
@@2ndhandsoulsmusic Great you guys! Here's the link for your convenience: "Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER" - ruclips.net/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/видео.html Cheers!
Hi. New subscriber here. Welcome to the Nightwish family and our Queen Floor. This is a very special group of people; very talented but very humble. Greetings from Alabama 😎
Hi again guys and gal. Yes there is so much more to discover with Nightwish and Floor Jansen who has her own RUclips channel with some amazing covers and live concerts. I don't blame you for listening to Lovebites, a really talented all female band but it's another massive rabbit hole with so many other great Japanese bands. Band Maid, Nemophila, Gacharic Spin, Asterism (amazing female lead and male bass/drummer) and Sokoninaru ( super female bass) to name a few.
Tuomas has said that this song is a duel between the Devil and Mother Gaia. Yes, you pronounced Emppu correctly. That's the nickname he goes by, his full name is Erno Matti Juhani Vuorinen. Try Song of Myself from this same show next, or, for more of the back and forth vocals between Floor and Marko, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from the Buenos Aires 2018 show.
I am so lucky to have all Nightwish studio albums. All of those since 1996 💝 I also have this Wacken 2013 original 2 set DVD including the document "Please Learn The Setlist In 48 Hours" when Floor Jansen jumped in to Nightwish crew. Have a nice journey my friends 🤘
Awesome reaction yet again! I knew you'd love this one. 'Song Of Myself' next please from the same show. Then maybe try 'Shudder Before The Beautiful', an absolute banger of an opener from Wembley 2015. Different drummer (Kai) on that one. Interested to hear Animal's take on him. Keep up the great work guys! Love Chrissy's smile.
Epicness right there on that stage. Toumas found his shangri-la when Floor joined Nightwish and rescued their North American tour in October 2012. We are blessed to witness this phenomenal group of musicians. Thanks again for a wonderful reaction. Paul - Nightwish Army UK Division 🙏😊👍
Nightwish Army loves you guys right back. You still haven’t gotten to my personal favorite from the Wacken show. And there’s SO much more beyond just Wacken 2013. Keep exploring Nightwish!
You guys are always engaging with your surprise reactions and analysis of this great group of musicians. Yes Floor is a musician who uses her instrument to great affect. Always in tune and on point! Have a great day 'y'all'!
Nice reaction to a great song again. I love you guys. Maybe you can react to “ Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean “ live in Buenos Aires Marko being the Devil and Floor is the mermaid. It’s with a different drummer, Kai who is with the band now after Jukka left because of health problems.
Hi from the UK 👋 🇬🇧 division of the Nightwish army something you might like to check out Another band that the Nightwish army follow it's called Ayreon And is another very deep rabbit hole 🕳 The go to song to start your Ayreon journey is Ayreon the day that the world breaks down the source 2017 This band is all fantastic live
I am absolutely loving the way you guys react to Nightwish. This is such another amazing performance. You have so much more to go from their live concerts. Wacken 2013 is legendary but so is Wembley 2015, the Baltic Princess Nightwish Cruise 2015, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018, and then some incredible shows this year. The entire sunset concert video from Nightwish at Hellfest 2022 has been viewed over 2.4 million times in 3 months. Then a week or so later they did an outstanding nighttime concert at the Deichbrand 2022 festival. Floor looks and sounds so beautiful. When you run out of the list you're working your way through you might want to check out these links. Keep the Nightwish coming. Loving it.

Hello friends, in the last reaction to Nightwish I suggested two songs, the first "The poet and the pendulum" that summarizes the state of mind in which Thomas was left with the departure of vocalist Tarja Turunen and "The Great Show on Earth" with the participation of the physicist English Richard Hawkins at Wembley 2015. In fact, these fantastic songs take over 15 minutes each... Amazing how a band can maintain their concentration levels for so long without interruption with a fabulous interpretation. I would like to propose two more, of course shorter but powerful "Song of my self" and "Devil and the deep dark ocean", the latter with a heavier register. Hope you have fun listening and sharing your reaction with us. Hugs, Victor (Portugal).
Hey, Animal, it's easy to understand why Jukka is your new favorite drummer, he's amazing. Have you ever heard of Hannes van Dahl? He is a drummer for the band Sabaton, also has a very good technique. Detail that he is the husband of Floor Jansen, lead singer of Nightwish.
Another excellent reaction, lots of good insight from your guys. I think everyone can agree the planets, heck, the universe aligned at Wacken 2013. Enjoying the journey, don't neglect your music as I think you have a lot of talent and a future. For Americans, Finnish names are...interesting. I think (remember I'm also American) it's Em-poo, Tw-ow-mazh, Flor (just like what you walk on). If you want more from Marko, check out his band Tarot (Wings of Darkness, ruclips.net/video/xD1q21dr8tw/видео.html). BTW, Marco won the Masked Singer contest in Finland in 2020.
I concur, but that's the re-recorded 25th anniversary video. I say do a double reaction, with the original 1986 music video - Tarot's lineup was different back then, plus it's always worth the fun of seeing Marko at age 20 channeling his inner Dee Snider and with a can of hairspray in. So many people see this one and have trouble believing that it's really Marko! ruclips.net/video/VimogVM3i9Y/видео.html
Of this line-up, drummer "Super" Jukka has retired due to severe insomnia problems. He still helps NIGHTWISH in the background. Sadly Marco has also retired Atleast for now, even from his own music projects.
great reactions guys ! welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole, you've only just begun guys, still got other great bands to experience like Epica, Jinger, Within temptation etc...Cheers from Aust
After a bunch of really hard stuff, you should check out Poet and the Pendulum from the Wembly 2015 show. If you do, make sure you check out the history behind the song first. It adds real meaning to everything in the song.
Ohh guys!! I love how you entered to Nightwish World!!! Be prepared for THE POET AND THE PENDULUM and THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!! Please do those songs!!
How about a Pink Floyd tribute - a song even better than the original!! This was back in 2005 - and Marco was lead singer on this one, while Tarja were out changing custome. If you like Pink Floyd - then this is going to blow your mind!!! Nightwish doing '"High Hopes" ruclips.net/video/4oEDnVeYYyM/видео.html
Another fantastic, heartfelt reaction to Nightwish. I enjoy all of you sharing your Nightwish journey into their discography of live performances. There is so much, and so many concerts and Festivals to cover. I so much appreciate you as musicians, all the shared content. Cheers once again from Canada.
Keep doing them live: then they are at their very best.Other spectaculair concerts are: Wembley, Tampere, Argentina and Mexico. There is some footage with the original frontwoman Tarja too that is special: the classic 'Phantom of the Opera' is brilliant. Marco as frontman is also very worthwhile to listen to: ' High Hopes' and 'Kiss While Your Lipps are Still Red' are surprising and awesome. There are some fab adventures hiding in this adventure that are worthed to go for. Keep on reacting and have fun.
Floor's name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora 😇😇😇 And you speak her name ,the same as the English word floor. Next one from Wacken....Song of Myself...awesome song 🎵 👌 ❤
And the drummer Jukka had to “retire” due to health problems-severe insomnia and I believe back probs. But he still works for Nightwish behind the scenes. However his drum maker still lists him as a featured artist
I love your reactions, always fun. Dont be afraid to pause more often and talk as much as you want :D Please try to rewind 5-10 seconds before you restart the video so we can get "back into it". Thank you!
If you're this exited now just wait until you get to the song "The greatest show on Earth". There are two versions. live at Wembley and live at Tampere in Finland. I suggest you guys go with the Tampere version because those visuals will blow you away.
If any of you guys are into Pink Floyd it might be an idea to react to the Nightwish tribute to 'High Hopes' , it's absolutely phenomenal and Marko has never sung so well as he did that night - it was something special - you just HAVE to see it! Take good care of yourselves 😃
I think you should try a bit different side next. The Planet Rock session with Floor and Troy doing How's the Heart would be an interesting place for you to go.
Another song we will probably never hear again live because Marko has left the band. If you listen again you might catch Floor growling at the end of the chorus.
There is another hidden gem with a surprise for you in it. That’s Ayreon, founded by Arjen Lucassen. He is a Dutch musician who writes rock opera’s and than invites artists from all over the world he admires to join him for the production. As an introduction you should try: ‘The day that the world breaks down’. Guaranteed you all will be blown away, enjoy! 🙋🏼♀️ ruclips.net/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/видео.html
Ghost river is a spooky fairytale in Northern Europe. It is about a beautiful whitch with a voice like a sirene, who lures young children at night to the river, where she feeds on their souls. Marko is the good guy here, warning children NOT to go and NOT to cross the river, Floor is luring them. I still hope you want to react on devil in the dark deep ocean. It is creepy as hell (the evil one born in the dark ocean, wanting to destroy all good and wants a mermaid who fell in love with (Floor) sHE PRESENT THE BLUE light ocean. The interaction between her and Marco is awesome, so is the music. Much love from Holland
Excellent reaction as always. Your joy is infectious : ) And Chrissy, 'Tuomas Jalapeno' is genius... I think I'll borrow that xD If it's any consolation, Floor herself said Finnish was seriously challenging.
Absolutely, despite the myriad of NW reactions in the UT, I haven't heard that one before -- let alone thought it up myself. And there it is; a funny moniker that fits like a white three-finger glove, it isn't even half bad initiation to the pronunciation! Gotta love Crissy for coming up with that one!
try yourself a cover from NW. you got a male leadsinger, so I think "kiss while your lips are still red" or better suitable "the Islander"both sung by Marko and Floor as a back-up vocalist..awesome reaction again. greets from the NW Army in the Netherlands.
I am a 72-year-old grandfather, I never listened to Metal. Since I had first heard Floor and Nightwish 3 years ago, I can enjoy them all day, they are great.
Yep Humphrey, 10 Years younger but the same. No day with out some Nightwish.

Cheers. We'll definitely be checking it out. Thank you.
@@2ndhandsoulsmusic Great you guys! Here's the link for your convenience: "Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER" - ruclips.net/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/видео.html Cheers!
Love you guys....love the Nightwish reactions....cant wait till you get introduced to the amazing...Troy...
Can't wait!
Hi. New subscriber here. Welcome to the Nightwish family and our Queen Floor. This is a very special group of people; very talented but very humble. Greetings from Alabama 😎
We're in Alabama too. So cool.
Hi again guys and gal. Yes there is so much more to discover with Nightwish and Floor Jansen who has her own RUclips channel with some amazing covers and live concerts. I don't blame you for listening to Lovebites, a really talented all female band but it's another massive rabbit hole with so many other great Japanese bands. Band Maid, Nemophila, Gacharic Spin, Asterism (amazing female lead and male bass/drummer) and Sokoninaru ( super female bass) to name a few.
Don't forget "Song of Myself" from the same concert. Perhaps the best performance at that concert...? Fantastic duets in that one.
That song has been requested a lot and we will get to it. Thank you.
You still have so many great surprising songs ahead, and after that there own projects and guest appearances. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
THE POET AND THE PENDULUM......cant wait for you to react to this
Tuomas has said that this song is a duel between the Devil and Mother Gaia.
Yes, you pronounced Emppu correctly. That's the nickname he goes by, his full name is Erno Matti Juhani Vuorinen.
Try Song of Myself from this same show next, or, for more of the back and forth vocals between Floor and Marko, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from the Buenos Aires 2018 show.
I am so lucky to have all Nightwish studio albums. All of those since 1996 💝 I also have this Wacken 2013 original 2 set DVD including the document "Please Learn The Setlist In 48 Hours" when Floor Jansen jumped in to Nightwish crew. Have a nice journey my friends 🤘
Rock on!
Song of myself is the next epic one
You all are great fun, keep them coming and rock on!
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome reaction yet again! I knew you'd love this one. 'Song Of Myself' next please from the same show. Then maybe try 'Shudder Before The Beautiful', an absolute banger of an opener from Wembley 2015. Different drummer (Kai) on that one. Interested to hear Animal's take on him. Keep up the great work guys! Love Chrissy's smile.
Great reaction! This is one of my favourites, it just makes me smile, as do you guys! x
Nightwish "Shudder Before the Beautiful" live at Wembley please!!!
And have you ever heard "the poet and thé pendulum? You have to !!! One of their best masterpieces.
Good night from France 😉🇨🇵
Epicness right there on that stage. Toumas found his shangri-la when Floor joined Nightwish and rescued their North American tour in October 2012. We are blessed to witness this phenomenal group of musicians. Thanks again for a wonderful reaction. Paul - Nightwish Army UK Division 🙏😊👍
Nightwish Army loves you guys right back. You still haven’t gotten to my personal favorite from the Wacken show. And there’s SO much more beyond just Wacken 2013. Keep exploring Nightwish!
You guys are always engaging with your surprise reactions and analysis of this great group of musicians. Yes Floor is a musician who uses her instrument to great affect. Always in tune and on point! Have a great day 'y'all'!
Thanks. You too.
Nice reaction to a great song again. I love you guys. Maybe you can react to “ Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean “ live in Buenos Aires Marko being the Devil and Floor is the mermaid. It’s with a different drummer, Kai who is with the band now after Jukka left because of health problems.
Hi from the UK 👋 🇬🇧 division of the Nightwish army something you might like to check out
Another band that the Nightwish army follow it's called Ayreon And is another very deep rabbit hole 🕳
The go to song to start your Ayreon journey is
Ayreon the day that the world breaks down the source 2017
This band is all fantastic live
I am absolutely loving the way you guys react to Nightwish. This is such another amazing performance. You have so much more to go from their live concerts. Wacken 2013 is legendary but so is Wembley 2015, the Baltic Princess Nightwish Cruise 2015, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018, and then some incredible shows this year. The entire sunset concert video from Nightwish at Hellfest 2022 has been viewed over 2.4 million times in 3 months. Then a week or so later they did an outstanding nighttime concert at the Deichbrand 2022 festival. Floor looks and sounds so beautiful. When you run out of the list you're working your way through you might want to check out these links. Keep the Nightwish coming. Loving it.

Hello friends, in the last reaction to Nightwish I suggested two songs, the first "The poet and the pendulum" that summarizes the state of mind in which Thomas was left with the departure of vocalist Tarja Turunen and "The Great Show on Earth" with the participation of the physicist English Richard Hawkins at Wembley 2015. In fact, these fantastic songs take over 15 minutes each... Amazing how a band can maintain their concentration levels for so long without interruption with a fabulous interpretation. I would like to propose two more, of course shorter but powerful "Song of my self" and "Devil and the deep dark ocean", the latter with a heavier register. Hope you have fun listening and sharing your reaction with us. Hugs, Victor (Portugal).
Excellent commentary. Enjoyed it. Little suggestion: Backup a few seconds after a pause. Keeps the flow going. 😊🤘
Good reaction and to see you react to my 2 favourite band back to back Nightwish and Lovebites was great.
from the Australian branch of the Nightwish Army - enjoying your reactions big time! you got tons to get through - enjoy the ride!
Thank you so much.
🇬🇧 Norfolk signing in digging it !
Hey, Animal, it's easy to understand why Jukka is your new favorite drummer, he's amazing. Have you ever heard of Hannes van Dahl? He is a drummer for the band Sabaton, also has a very good technique. Detail that he is the husband of Floor Jansen, lead singer of Nightwish.
What a great reaction vid ❤‼️🏆👍 I can’t wait for more… and the fact you are also musicians- it makes it much better….
Thank you so much 🤗
Another excellent reaction, lots of good insight from your guys. I think everyone can agree the planets, heck, the universe aligned at Wacken 2013. Enjoying the journey, don't neglect your music as I think you have a lot of talent and a future. For Americans, Finnish names are...interesting. I think (remember I'm also American) it's Em-poo, Tw-ow-mazh, Flor (just like what you walk on).
If you want more from Marko, check out his band Tarot (Wings of Darkness, ruclips.net/video/xD1q21dr8tw/видео.html). BTW, Marco won the Masked Singer contest in Finland in 2020.
I concur, but that's the re-recorded 25th anniversary video. I say do a double reaction, with the original 1986 music video - Tarot's lineup was different back then, plus it's always worth the fun of seeing Marko at age 20 channeling his inner Dee Snider and with a can of hairspray in. So many people see this one and have trouble believing that it's really Marko! ruclips.net/video/VimogVM3i9Y/видео.html
Of this line-up, drummer "Super" Jukka has retired due to severe insomnia problems. He still helps NIGHTWISH in the background. Sadly Marco has also retired Atleast for now, even from his own music projects.
Ya'll need to try "Song of myself from the Wacken concert. Another great reaction.
When you react "I Want My Tears Back" from Nightwish, check it out Buenos Aires live. There is something extra to react. Greetings from Finland.
You guys are awesome! Love watching your joy at this great band!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
great reactions guys ! welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole, you've only just begun guys, still got other great
bands to experience like Epica, Jinger, Within temptation etc...Cheers from Aust
Cheers mate and thank you.
After a bunch of really hard stuff, you should check out Poet and the Pendulum from the Wembly 2015 show. If you do, make sure you check out the history behind the song first. It adds real meaning to everything in the song.
Ohh guys!! I love how you entered to Nightwish World!!! Be prepared for THE POET AND THE PENDULUM and THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!! Please do those songs!!
Greetings from UK
Another great reaction, this is my current favourite song 😃
Awesome! Thank you!
Nightwish Army Canadian Shield division reporting for duty.
I like u guys. That track its one of my favorites.
How about a Pink Floyd tribute - a song even better than the original!!
This was back in 2005 - and Marco was lead singer on this one, while Tarja were out changing custome.
If you like Pink Floyd - then this is going to blow your mind!!!
Nightwish doing '"High Hopes"

Another fantastic, heartfelt reaction to Nightwish. I enjoy all of you sharing your Nightwish journey into their discography of live performances. There is so much, and so many concerts and Festivals to cover. I so much appreciate you as musicians, all the shared content. Cheers once again from Canada.
Glad you enjoyed it. Rock on!
Keep doing them live: then they are at their very best.Other spectaculair concerts are: Wembley, Tampere, Argentina and Mexico. There is some footage with the original frontwoman Tarja too that is special: the classic 'Phantom of the Opera' is brilliant. Marco as frontman is also very worthwhile to listen to: ' High Hopes' and 'Kiss While Your Lipps are Still Red' are surprising and awesome. There are some fab adventures hiding in this adventure that are worthed to go for. Keep on reacting and have fun.
We will!
You are all so funny 😁 and a mouse man 😁🐁 Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean would be nice one too 😉
And please check Amorphis too 😍
Floor's name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora 😇😇😇
And you speak her name ,the same as the English word floor.
Next one from Wacken....Song of Myself...awesome song 🎵 👌 ❤
And the drummer Jukka had to “retire” due to health problems-severe insomnia and I believe back probs. But he still works for Nightwish behind the scenes. However his drum maker still lists him as a featured artist
My top 5 faves. The harmonies and the breakdowns are amazing Soft and hard is the best texture. :)
Totally agree!
I love your reactions, always fun. Dont be afraid to pause more often and talk as much as you want :D Please try to rewind 5-10 seconds before you restart the video so we can get "back into it". Thank you!
will do.
If you're this exited now just wait until you get to the song "The greatest show on Earth". There are two versions. live at Wembley and live at Tampere in Finland. I suggest you guys go with the Tampere version because those visuals will blow you away.
Please keep going on with Gabriels list, his list is very good!
Gotta be the show opener, Dark Chest of Wonders next❤
If any of you guys are into Pink Floyd it might be an idea to react to the Nightwish tribute to 'High Hopes' , it's absolutely phenomenal and Marko has never sung so well as he did that night - it was something special - you just HAVE to see it! Take good care of yourselves 😃
Your reaction was so amazing to watch. I was smiling ear to ear :D
Thank you.
I think you should try a bit different side next. The Planet Rock session with Floor and Troy doing How's the Heart would be an interesting place for you to go.
You guys are amazing!!! thanks for your reaction
it's a band I've been listening to for 24 years. I couldn't be objective about them. 😁
Floor and Marko’s harmonies are so sensational ❣️
Just follow Gabriel’s list and you’ll be fine.
Another song we will probably never hear again live because Marko has left the band. If you listen again you might catch Floor growling at the end of the chorus.
There is another hidden gem with a surprise for you in it.
That’s Ayreon, founded by Arjen Lucassen. He is a Dutch musician who writes rock opera’s and than invites artists from all over the world he admires to join him for the production. As an introduction you should try: ‘The day that the world breaks down’.
Guaranteed you all will be blown away, enjoy! 🙋🏼♀️

Thank you and God bless.
guys, you need to check out Epica - consign to oblivion live at zenith, if you like nightwish you will love them
@2ndhandsouls, just keep following Gabriel’s list and we’re good guys! You guys are fire! 🤟🤟✌️✌️🇨🇦
🙌 Thank you.
Nightwish army Oklahoma division reporting for duty.
Ghost river is a spooky fairytale in Northern Europe. It is about a beautiful whitch with a voice like a sirene, who lures young children at night to the river, where she feeds on their souls.
Marko is the good guy here, warning children NOT to go and NOT to cross the river, Floor is luring them.
I still hope you want to react on devil in the dark deep ocean. It is creepy as hell (the evil one born in the dark ocean, wanting to destroy all good and wants a mermaid who fell in love with (Floor) sHE PRESENT THE BLUE light ocean. The interaction between her and Marco is awesome, so is the music.
Much love from Holland
Nightwish army Denmark reporting in 🤘
Excellent reaction as always. Your joy is infectious : ) And Chrissy, 'Tuomas Jalapeno' is genius... I think I'll borrow that xD If it's any consolation, Floor herself said Finnish was seriously challenging.
Absolutely, despite the myriad of NW reactions in the UT, I haven't heard that one before -- let alone thought it up myself. And there it is; a funny moniker that fits like a white three-finger glove, it isn't even half bad initiation to the pronunciation! Gotta love Crissy for coming up with that one!
If no one has mentioned, a lot of the backing track and big band you hear is The London Philharmonic Orchestra. They work with h Nightwish a lot
One of my favorite things about Nightwish is every song they play is everyone's in the bands favorite song to play
Hi guys great reaction there is a hell of a lot more to come from nightwish song of myself is my favourite track but there all brilliant 🔥🔥🔥🔥
try yourself a cover from NW. you got a male leadsinger, so I think "kiss while your lips are still red" or better suitable "the Islander"both sung by Marko and Floor as a back-up vocalist..awesome reaction again. greets from the NW Army in the Netherlands.
