You are a very good ambassador for Nightwish, bringing all these music experts from outside of the Nightwish bubble. And they all love it because experts recognise quality. His face during the video told us enough 😀
honestly possibly ever. Nightwish isn't my favorite band right now, mostly just because I've changed genre focus a bit, but Floor's talent just feels unfair to other vocalists sometimes.
Honestly I have trouble coming up with a better female (or male) singer in any genre right now. It's her versatility too, what genre would she not excel in?
What I love about you Joel, is that you take such pride in being able to present this superb band to your guests. And your exited facial expressions and the sparks in your eyes when waiting for the feedback. Love it all💎
I agree, but that's why it is such a pity he doesn't actually let him talk about Nightwish. He kept interrupting and asking about other bands and memories. I'm here to hear this man's take on Nightwish, and he hardly got to say anything about them.
If you discover Nightwish on Friday you will by Monday morning have learned the names of all band members, past and present. You will also have recharged your headphones several times since you realized that it's a headphone-band. By that time you will probably have heard The Poet and the Pendulum and understood nothing and begun your homework. When you are done with your homework and have "decoded" the song, that tells the whole story but nothing is said out loud, and can read between the lines you are ready for graduation from The Nightwish Academy. Tuomas never makes it easy for us, not in Nightwish and nor in Auri.
Thanks for introducing him to what I consider some of the best music out there these days. That said, what a pity you kept asking questions about other bands, songs and memories, while this man clearly was ready to say a whole lot more about what he just watched and said he became an instant fan of. Remember we watch this to hear your guests opinion on the music of Nightwish not to hear him talking about the Allman Brothers. I feel we missed out because you didn't let him talk.
@@northof4912yeah, that's why I finally said something about it. I like the idea, but he never gives his guests the opportunity to really talk about the music. This man is a musician and he clearly loved Jukka's drumming but he got cut off when he was talking about it... such a shame
@littleraven28 I really wanted to hear what he had to say. I saw a lot of bands back in the day, but Elton John in Vancouver, when he was still a bit crazy, was the best show I ever saw - and he was by far the best showman ever! That insite would have been really interesting.....
I'm perfectly okay ALSO hearing about the Allman Brothers, I'd just prefer the guest gets to finish his or her thoughts before the next question comes :)
I love how Joel just starts smiling when he knows what is coming at the end with Floor's final note....it's the same reaction I get every time I hear it. :)
The bassist/vocalist Marko Hietala won the Masked Singer Finland a couple of years ago. His character was Tohrori (Doctor). One of the songs he sang was YELLOW BRICK ROAD.
Here's a link to Marko Hietala's performance: Tohtori - Goodbye yellow brick road | Masked Singer Suomi | MTV3 ruclips.net/video/7IPEyOyl7f0/видео.htmlsi=JTONcYAnsxui_7Dj&t=66
That first smile of John says it all❣ I've watchted this, lost count, for many years now. Stil get the Floorgasm's over and over again as if it's my first time watching! 🤣
Floor is an incredible singer. I liked Nightwish BEFORE Floor...But when she joined, I became a hardcore fan. Her power & interpretive style are mesmerizing.
Thanks for getting a qualified person on here, versus that truck driver, or whatever you had recently, who whined just about everything you played for him. And. finally, a guy with my own hair style, LOL.My first vinyl was 'Abbey Road', and I played it about 5 times a night, before it put me to sleep.
Glad I could catch you so soon after you put this up. Love how you Introduce new people ( Industry folks ) to this band.😁 Bravo Sir!' ✌❤T.NoBoDY ....( Myself Retired videographer )
First video on this channel, so I don't really know Joel, but damn, did I love his excitement and his grin from ear to ear! 🤩 When you show yomething you like to someone else, you experience it a little differently, a little more fresh, as if you liked it not only for yourself but for the other person as well.
@@joelroadie hey Joel ! your awesome ,appreciate how you introduce so many of your pals to NW & Floor,they really deserve to be more well known, here is a few NW w/Floor songs I "think" your still missing ?

Even for the zillionst time, still epic! Love to see you presenting Nightwish as a proud daddy 😄 Just one question: can you take more time to let your guests react after the song before you start asking questions, that would be great, thanks!
John's face was a picture at times and I don't think he could quite believe what he was hearing and seeing...in a good way. Thank you Joel for once again showcasing this phenomenal band, a band that I'd not heard of until 18 months ago at the age of 56. 🙏😊👍❤️
If he enjoys playing “Don’t let the sun go down” - and seeing people’s emotions - then suggest listening to “Sleeping Sun” 🌅 He has a wide variety of musical interests - so he would enjoy the Nightwish variety of songs, sounds & emotions they bring to life.
I love watching you get so excited every single time like me at so many points of this song, including the end when Floor raises her arm to the band. I'll just keep watching your reactions to this song..its just a fun evening. Oh and i love watching you get excited when one of your buds gets excited too 21:12 ..or a wow etc.. keep on keeping on kiddo. PS i just found Nightwish during the mid pandemic too..after 65 years of music
John; Floor stands just a tad under 6-2 in bare feet, and she's wearing 4 to 5 inch heels here...she's the Valkyrie Goddess....Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist, co-founder, leader, guru, composer, lyricist, arranger and producer of 95% of the band's music....he's the Metal Mozart.....audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000......there are so many metal bands you can check out....more Nightwish, Jinjer, Epica, Amaranthe, Kamelot, Within Temptation, Orion's Reign, Arch Enemy, Imperial Age, Sabaton, Wintersun, Unleash the Archers, Suite Clarity, Lords of the Trident, Shield of Wings, Liliac......the list goes on.....this entire show is on DVD and RUclips, under the title of "Showtime, Storytime".......Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA
Hey guys, greetings from UK I got really excited whilst I was watching your reaction, looking at your faces I am very gratified to hear that John appreciates this performance as much as I do 😉 I appreciate you Joel for sharing your love for Nightwish with others
I'm no mind reader, and my Palantir got possessed by some evil entity and broke down, but I'm of the same opinion. "Everybody Dies" is indeed an indecently fun song for what it's about. :) (What a long and weird way to say "I concur"!)
Welcome to the Nightwish universe! Wacken 2013 was, for multiple reasons one of the best but also one of the craziest shows Nightwish did in their career. First of all, they performed in front of whopping 80.000 fans which is insane, not jus for a Metal band. But at this time in 2013 Floor was just about 9 months in the band, she had her debut with Nightwish on 10/1/2012 so she was basically new to the band, she joined the band during their world tour which was crazy! This shows her level of professionality! There's so much more about this great band to discover and, of course, so much more great music! Please check out "Thr Greatest Show on Earth" or "The Poet and The Pendulum" these are the most requested reactions but for a good reason, these 2 songs are even more epic than this one.
Great reaction! Really enjoying these. I’m not certain if this has been mentioned before, but one of Nightwish’s devoted fans had mentioned in another video comment that Nightwish co-founder, songwriter/composer and keyboardist, Thomas Holopainen, had the “organ pipes” decor at front of keyboard made as a wine rack. Supposedly, he had it fashioned to resemble The Sibelius Monument in Helsinki, a sculpture dedicated to Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. I have not been able to locate information confirming this, but it gave me reason to consider! To me, it resembles something from Game Of Thrones. Also, when Floor sings the movements, “My fall will be for you” at beginning and towards the end again,…the way she holds out the phrases while background music is carried out reminds me of the style that the band MUSE uses at times, especially in “Uprising”. Love it! Drummer Jukka Nevalainen in this video is a machine! I loved watching him perform. It’s like a beautiful ballet! EVERY member is so talented. A perfect blend. This is epic, and one of my favorite Symphonic Metal performances of all time. Thank you again, and again, and again.
So good to see and old rocker react to a more modern Symphonic Metal music! Thank you for making it happen. It would be nice to let John Mahon react to Dimmu Borgir, a Symphonic Black Metal band from Norway, they recorded a live DVD with full orchestra and choir is beyond epic as well!
In the 1930's, music was hijacked, standard tuning was changed to muddy the sound and musical healing frequencies. The A note was changed from 444hz to 440hz, the notes were lowered by 4hz. If you tune correctly, up 4HZ, I simply use A at 444hz and calibrate the tuner, you are then in 528hz tuning. JOHN LENNON WROTE IMAGINE IN 528HZ TUNING. This needs to be corrected and can only happen when the majority are aware. Once you tune your guitar correctly, you will never go back, it sounds so perfect and clear that the fraud -4hz will simply piss you off.
I forget how many big wigs you know Joel and love everytime your reacting. You promote Nightwish so good if our lovely General Gabrial ever retired i can only see one other who could fill his shoes what do you think General Joel?.
John truly enjoys music, lives and breaths it. His smile tells it all! Ironically, the first piece I've learned was from Elton John, although a simplified arrangement. But bands like Nightwish, Epica and After Forever really made me want to pursue a career in music. I would have never thought I would see the two somewhat opposite extreme ends of music in one video.
I'm sitting there yelling at the screen "Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!....YES!!" How could it be anyone else! LoL!! Another great watch Joel, Thank You! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Why you ask him about Elton John and not what he is thinking of Nightwish? Make the videos longer and talk about the Band you guest reacted to and after that you can ask if there are connections or similarities to what he did.
I'm new to Nightwish... After reading some of the comments, I'm almost feeling a little sorry for you, Joel, you just can't please everybody. I love your channel and came to it for The Warning. I'm wondering if you think The Warning needs to make some longer songs with more instrumentals for them to move to the next level. The bands of my youth, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream, had both shorter and longer songs. The Beatles strung a bunch of short songs together to make a long song on The White Album. I guess we'll know a little more when we hear their new stuff. Sorry, Nightwish fans, that I talked about another band. I liked the performance.
Greetings once again from New Zealand. I always look for your reactions on Nightwish Joel, when you introduce other musicians and people in the music industry to Nightwish. I think it's fantastic, and thankyou for being such a great ambassador for them :) I hope you do another reaction with John to Nightwish, as I would love to hear more of what he has to say about them. Keep up the great work!
I would let the guest, after the song is finished, react to the song first before asking a question to be honest. It's about their reaction, true? With that being said I love this channel and your enthousiasm!
Love it so much when you introduce Nightwish to other musicians. Wonderful, uplifting reaction with John Mahon stamp of approval. Look forward to more. Cheers.
The title of your video had me expecting something else….I’d hoped for some real professional reactions from a professional drummer, e.g. more analysis of the colleague’s performance…with all this questions, leading away from the topic of the video, it was disappointing at the end.
As a MASSIVE fan of both Nightwish and Elton John, this video made me so happy. This is my first time to this channel and you earned a subscriber. Thank you for this!!!
Also anything with Jukko. If a fellow drummer doesn’t love him, he is flat out wrong, period, end of story, haha. You cannot best or too him. Only equal, if insanely lucky and skilled.
I love this showing/reaction…not talking shit. But he says this is long…show him greatest show on earth. If you are both down. As that epic performance is like 10 minutes, you think that’s hold my beer and mixed drink. As I order 3 more and most are drank by then. And wait longer for the last 3-4 to show up. While giving a fat tip up front to make sure you get them. And timely, to what you want and is possible. And also being polite. That ensures good service as a costumer, and I’m gonna say, any server loves that, good tip and polite customer. But yeah. That’s the model for the greatest show, and is what’s needed.
Tuomas make sure that they stay in course. Also Floor. Only Marco and Floor get space. Perhaps other players would if they just asked. But they were happy. All are professinols.
One more correction, Finland is the homeland of heavy metal music, not Germany If you don't know this, you should change the music style, what follows :D
I liked Imagine by John Lennon, but then I learned English and it hit me that that song could be regarded as an anthem of American communism. The lyrics of the song are pure communism ideals . No countries, no religions, no nationalities, nothing that makes you an individual. Just a mass of humans living side by side, without emotions or needs. Pure communism utopia where all people are the same and are living for the same goals and ideas. Music of the song is good but lyrics... Not so much anymore. Not to mention that the song was way overplayed on the radio in Poland, a country in which I was born in 1980.
This was great reaction. John seems to be very nice guy. His smile tell everything. More him! When i found week ago this Nightwish 2022 performances about Noise and Tribal, i have listened it almost every day. So good!! "NIGHTWISH Masters Of Rock 2022 Noise & Tribal REMASTERED" from Nightwish Arena. It is taken official festival live stream.
Original vocalist, who helped the band get to fame, is the only and correct one, i.e. Tarja Turunen. Quite a lot of people in Finland don't follow the band anymore, because the original idea changed too much. I myself remember when heavy metal was mixed with opera music in a wonderful way and then it was a go for me
Ah, a fellow gentleman and scholar. One more for the rabbithole. It would be very cool if the awareness of NW were to somehow leak back into the musical community via Joel's endeavors.
The guitar solo has never sat right with me. It's scrappy, an echo of the vocal and has none of the interest of the rest of the song. I'd probably pull out nylon strings or go much less overdriven for that part and build on the theme instead of echo. My thoughts take me to the same conclusion every time I hear it. I'm sure the guitarist may even have something prepared.
This was fantastic! I loved the reaction section and it was so beautiful to see your smile getting bigger and bigger there towards the end. It also looked like John was enjoying himself a lot and I noticed how often his expression changed when the audience was shown so when he gave his answer to your question which Elton John songs still give him goose bumps every time that was genuine and him having such an effect through the way the audience is affected makes me think he has a really kind heart. The interview part at the end was also super interesting and made me take note of all the songs and bands mentioned ;) Thank you for this!! [and uff, I know I'm probably getting on your nerves by now but man...how much I wish you had reacted to Dir en grey already and could show them to people like John here. Even though they might not be to everyone's taste I am sure songs like Vinushka could start the most interesting conversations both from the point of songwriting/composition and from the point of content/delivery. Please, please, please add them to your bands to be discovered? It would make me immensely happy. Again, the song to go with for a first reaction would be Vinushka live from ANDROGYNOUS with eng. subtitles from Kaya's channel]
John's got musical taste like mine lol I bet I'd love his collection. I'd take old school Chicago over their 80s power ballad era any day. And you know he's been around a minute if he's mentioning the audio mix quality. I love it when industry vets come in here and share a little knowledge with us.
Two of my favorites from Elton, Don't Let the Sun, and Levon. Love Grey Seal as well. John must be an amazing musician to be in Elton's band. Great to get to meet him and hear a little about his background. All the Best.
당신이 밴드를 감상하고 소개하는 방법이 마음에 듭니다. 저는 제가 좋아하는 밴드가 이 밴드를 소개 해 줘서 압니다. 그리고 나이트위시를 좋아하게 되었습니다. 한국의 아직 알려지지 않은 밴드(PITTA)의 보컬이 나이트위시의 팬입니다. PITTA는 보컬이 한국이나 세계적으로 유명합니다. 아름다운 목소리와 넓은 음역대로 노래를 아주 잘 하는 것으로 유명합니다. 하지만 아직 밴드는 유명하지 않습니다. PITTA의 보컬의 유명한 무대로는 Phantom of the opera입니다. 나이트위시가 노래 한 것에서 영감을 받아서 그 나름대로 편곡하여 연주한 일로 아주 유명해 졌죠. 팬텀과 크리스틴을 혼자서 연기 합니다. 그가 작사 작곡한 곡도 있는데 독특하고 좋은 곡입니다.

It shows how insular the pop world is when EJ's drummer of years has never heard of YT's most reacted to group and YT's most reacted to song, with arguably the finest singer there currently is. Also thinks 10 minutes is a long song. John seems like nice guy but what do pop musicians listen to and talk about offstage?
@@lekalla Thanks, yes he is. I'm surprised that so many that so many major pop stars and musicians know so very little about the metal world and the talent in it.
Pinball wizard for me. Anytime No I react too fast. Jesus Elton. There are so much fantastic songs. If I think of Elton. I think of just Fantastic. Yup Fantastic.
You are a very good ambassador for Nightwish, bringing all these music experts from outside of the Nightwish bubble. And they all love it because experts recognise quality. His face during the video told us enough 😀
Will forever quote Henk poort on his ‘Good music is good music, regardless of genre’
Nightwish are an excellent band, and Floor is, in my opinion, the best (control and range) female metal singer on the planet
Amen...❤
honestly possibly ever. Nightwish isn't my favorite band right now, mostly just because I've changed genre focus a bit, but Floor's talent just feels unfair to other vocalists sometimes.
Honestly I have trouble coming up with a better female (or male) singer in any genre right now. It's her versatility too, what genre would she not excel in?

Disagree, totally not a headphone-band. 7.2-surround-sound-band! Ask my neighbors.
I can't say that I am surprised Sir Elton John apparently never played Wacken. Wouldn't exactly fit in at a Metal Festival!
Well if Black Label Society was there Zakk would have loved it.
I reckon he would have just done fine
I actually think he could have sung metal just fine. He had some rougher vocals at times
I have a feeling that the crowd would love it if Elton John played at Wacken
Elton could totally play Wacken.
As a drummer/percussionist for 50+ years I am impressed with the tempo changes..some are very tricky.
This is with old drummer. New artist is Kai Hahto. One of the best modern drummers there is.
Maybe he would enjoy their tribute to Pink Floyd- High Hopes?!!
I am a Led Zeppeling fan .But this band are from a other Demention. 🤟🤟🤟

Hi ! I'm Joel. I will show you a video of Nightwish and next we will talk about others bands. Am I right ?
Why bombard him with questions and not let him react while it is still fresh?
Even for the zillionst time, still epic!
Love to see you presenting Nightwish as a proud daddy 😄

I got really excited whilst I was watching your reaction, looking at your faces
I am very gratified to hear that John appreciates this performance as much as I do 😉
I appreciate you Joel for sharing your love for Nightwish with others
The guest was flashed at the end and wanted to express it and you shut him down with an ultralong question. 😢
Have a hunch that your guest would really like Ayreon as well (Ed Warby!). Try "Everybody Dies", just for fun. Cheers!
I'm no mind reader, and my Palantir got possessed by some evil entity and broke down, but I'm of the same opinion. "Everybody Dies" is indeed an indecently fun song for what it's about. :)

Personally I would have played him a few more from Wacken to show him a cross section of what Nightwish can do.

watching him perform. It’s like a beautiful ballet! EVERY member is so talented. A perfect blend. This is epic, and one of my favorite Symphonic Metal performances of all time. Thank you again, and again, and again.
So good to see and old rocker react to a more modern Symphonic Metal music! Thank you for making it happen. It would be nice to let John Mahon react to Dimmu Borgir, a Symphonic Black Metal band from Norway, they recorded a live DVD with full orchestra and choir is beyond epic as well!
In the 1930's, music was hijacked, standard tuning was changed to muddy the sound and musical healing frequencies. The A note was changed from 444hz to 440hz, the notes were lowered by 4hz. If you tune correctly, up 4HZ, I simply use A at 444hz and calibrate the tuner, you are then in 528hz tuning. JOHN LENNON WROTE IMAGINE IN 528HZ TUNING. This needs to be corrected and can only happen when the majority are aware. Once you tune your guitar correctly, you will never go back, it sounds so perfect and clear that the fraud -4hz will simply piss you off.
Wow i like this guy!! Moore of him please.
Amazing Nightwish ❤❤❤❤ Thank you❤❤❤
Let him hear prog music, Valley of the Queens and The Day The World Break Down are good ones to start with...
I forget how many big wigs you know Joel and love everytime your reacting. You promote Nightwish so good if our lovely General Gabrial ever retired i can only see one other who could fill his shoes what do you think General Joel?.
you react to a 10 years old performance and thats just to make money
John truly enjoys music, lives and breaths it. His smile tells it all! Ironically, the first piece I've learned was from Elton John, although a simplified arrangement. But bands like Nightwish, Epica and After Forever really made me want to pursue a career in music. I would have never thought I would see the two somewhat opposite extreme ends of music in one video.
I'm sitting there yelling at the screen "Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!....YES!!" How could it be anyone else! LoL!!
Another great watch Joel, Thank You!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
This is sheer TALENT + MUSICALITY at its BEST! How refreshing and satisfying vs the 3 note dumbed "music" so prevalent today...
You always bring awesome content to your channel... Metal family is the reason all We are here! Keep rocking in a free world 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great guest! Enjoyed this one.
Joel the NW Army Ambassador to the industry, keep opening those ears , musicians know best , thanks Joel ! people need to know about NW & Floor
Why you ask him about Elton John and not what he is thinking of Nightwish? Make the videos longer and talk about the Band you guest reacted to and after that you can ask if there are connections or similarities to what he did.
love seeing musicians smile while listening to music. a real sign of recognition
I'm new to Nightwish... After reading some of the comments, I'm almost feeling a little sorry for you, Joel, you just can't please everybody. I love your channel and came to it for The Warning. I'm wondering if you think The Warning needs to make some longer songs with more instrumentals for them to move to the next level. The bands of my youth, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream, had both shorter and longer songs. The Beatles strung a bunch of short songs together to make a long song on The White Album. I guess we'll know a little more when we hear their new stuff. Sorry, Nightwish fans, that I talked about another band. I liked the performance.
People just seem to see all the negatives. For every jerk comment i see 10 positive comments.
Greetings once again from New Zealand. I always look for your reactions on Nightwish Joel, when you introduce other musicians and people in the music industry to Nightwish. I think it's fantastic, and thankyou for being such a great ambassador for them :) I hope you do another reaction with John to Nightwish, as I would love to hear more of what he has to say about them. Keep up the great work!
I would let the guest, after the song is finished, react to the song first before asking a question to be honest. It's about their reaction, true? With that being said I love this channel and your enthousiasm!
No.555!! Long time Elton fan!! (61) and WELCOME TO THE NIGHTWISH ARMY!!!
Love it so much when you introduce Nightwish to other musicians. Wonderful, uplifting reaction with John Mahon stamp of approval. Look forward to more. Cheers.
Her Majesty Floor Jansen, Imperial Spell Crusher, Forward Nightwish Army!
Cool! Cheers from Finland!
How about Manowar, Warriors of the World United live! Mega cool reaction track
HAve you listened to AURI? The band Tuomas Holopainen has with his wife Johanna, you will be surprised. Songs like Pearl diving, Night 13
My two favorite metal bands are - "Nightwish" and "Maximum the Hormone"
The title of your video had me expecting something else….I’d hoped for some real professional reactions from a professional drummer, e.g. more analysis of the colleague’s performance…with all this questions, leading away from the topic of the video, it was disappointing at the end.
I only discovered Nightwish like 2 years ago and its awesome to see others enjoying it much as I do.
As a MASSIVE fan of both Nightwish and Elton John, this video made me so happy. This is my first time to this channel and you earned a subscriber. Thank you for this!!!
Also anything with Jukko. If a fellow drummer doesn’t love him, he is flat out wrong, period, end of story, haha. You cannot best or too him. Only equal, if insanely lucky and skilled.
I love this showing/reaction…not talking shit. But he says this is long…show him greatest show on earth. If you are both down. As that epic performance is like 10 minutes, you think that’s hold my beer and mixed drink. As I order 3 more and most are drank by then. And wait longer for the last 3-4 to show up. While giving a fat tip up front to make sure you get them. And timely, to what you want and is possible. And also being polite. That ensures good service as a costumer, and I’m gonna say, any server loves that, good tip and polite customer. But yeah. That’s the model for the greatest show, and is what’s needed.
Tuomas make sure that they stay in course. Also Floor. Only Marco and Floor get space. Perhaps other players would if they just asked. But they were happy. All are professinols.
One more correction, Finland is the homeland of heavy metal music, not Germany If you don't know this, you should change the music style, what follows :D
Rush Live Xanadu (1981), and Live Rio YYZ, gotta do.
I liked Imagine by John Lennon, but then I learned English and it hit me that that song could be regarded as an anthem of American communism.
The lyrics of the song are pure communism ideals . No countries, no religions, no nationalities, nothing that makes you an individual. Just a mass of humans living side by side, without emotions or needs. Pure communism utopia where all people are the same and are living for the same goals and ideas.
Music of the song is good but lyrics... Not so much anymore.
Not to mention that the song was way overplayed on the radio in Poland, a country in which I was born in 1980.
Everyone talks about Floor and rightfully so, but you must give kudos to the drummer. He worked it!
Mahavishnu Orchestra's You Know,You Know is one of those tracks that always gets me. Very haunting song with amazing drums by Cobham.
This was great reaction. John seems to be very nice guy. His smile tell everything. More him! When i found week ago this Nightwish 2022 performances about Noise and Tribal, i have listened it almost every day. So good!! "NIGHTWISH Masters Of Rock 2022 Noise & Tribal REMASTERED" from Nightwish Arena. It is taken official festival live stream.
Original vocalist, who helped the band get to fame, is the only and correct one, i.e. Tarja Turunen. Quite a lot of people in Finland don't follow the band anymore, because the original idea changed too much. I myself remember when heavy metal was mixed with opera music in a wonderful way and then it was a go for me
Ah, a fellow gentleman and scholar.
One more for the rabbithole.
It would be very cool if the awareness of NW were to somehow leak back into the musical community via Joel's endeavors.
Bad Religion old school punk rockers. I've seen them like 10 times.
I love people watching Nightwish for their first time getting their first Floorgasms! :D
Poet And The Pendulum live at Wembley is amazing.
In Nightwish fanclub we call this a "Floorgasm" 🖤🤟
The guitar solo has never sat right with me. It's scrappy, an echo of the vocal and has none of the interest of the rest of the song. I'd probably pull out nylon strings or go much less overdriven for that part and build on the theme instead of echo. My thoughts take me to the same conclusion every time I hear it. I'm sure the guitarist may even have something prepared.
The band comes from Finland but this current singer is dutch Floor Jansen.
Kewl guy. Nice to see a closeup of quality people around Sir Elton. I'm so old he's still Elton to me!
Excellent, u should try my dying bride the dreadful hours live
This was fantastic! I loved the reaction section and it was so beautiful to see your smile getting bigger and bigger there towards the end. It also looked like John was enjoying himself a lot and I noticed how often his expression changed when the audience was shown so when he gave his answer to your question which Elton John songs still give him goose bumps every time that was genuine and him having such an effect through the way the audience is affected makes me think he has a really kind heart.
The interview part at the end was also super interesting and made me take note of all the songs and bands mentioned ;)
Thank you for this!!
[and uff, I know I'm probably getting on your nerves by now but man...how much I wish you had reacted to Dir en grey already and could show them to people like John here. Even though they might not be to everyone's taste I am sure songs like Vinushka could start the most interesting conversations both from the point of songwriting/composition and from the point of content/delivery. Please, please, please add them to your bands to be discovered? It would make me immensely happy. Again, the song to go with for a first reaction would be Vinushka live from ANDROGYNOUS with eng. subtitles from Kaya's channel]
👍
John's got musical taste like mine lol I bet I'd love his collection. I'd take old school Chicago over their 80s power ballad era any day. And you know he's been around a minute if he's mentioning the audio mix quality. I love it when industry vets come in here and share a little knowledge with us.
What a great guest. When people smile, when the short hair fan smiles, well, it tells me everything I need to know about them.❤
Two of my favorites from Elton, Don't Let the Sun, and Levon. Love Grey Seal as well. John must be an amazing musician to be in Elton's band. Great to get to meet him and hear a little about his background. All the Best.
Opeth's ''Still Life'' is missing on your left side.
Let him talk about the fucking band he reacts to ok 🙄
Yuh
No matter how many times I hear this , still get goosebumps on that last vocal part .
Band Finland, singer Netherlands
Troy is from England.
Yes, you are right.
The musical interlude is called an intermezzo.
Welcome to nightwish we fans are hardcore
O my, I, for sure, do love those first smiles a 100%
당신이 밴드를 감상하고 소개하는 방법이 마음에 듭니다.
저는 제가 좋아하는 밴드가 이 밴드를 소개 해 줘서 압니다. 그리고 나이트위시를 좋아하게 되었습니다.
한국의 아직 알려지지 않은 밴드(PITTA)의 보컬이 나이트위시의 팬입니다.
PITTA는 보컬이 한국이나 세계적으로 유명합니다. 아름다운 목소리와 넓은 음역대로 노래를 아주 잘 하는 것으로 유명합니다. 하지만 아직 밴드는 유명하지 않습니다.
PITTA의 보컬의 유명한 무대로는 Phantom of the opera입니다.
나이트위시가 노래 한 것에서 영감을 받아서 그 나름대로 편곡하여 연주한 일로 아주 유명해 졌죠. 팬텀과 크리스틴을 혼자서 연기 합니다.
그가 작사 작곡한 곡도 있는데 독특하고 좋은 곡입니다.

It shows how insular the pop world is when EJ's drummer of years has never heard of YT's most reacted to group and YT's most reacted to song, with arguably the finest singer there currently is. Also thinks 10 minutes is a long song. John seems like nice guy but what do pop musicians listen to and talk about offstage?
Percussionist or one of them.
@@lekallanot sure what you mean.
@@redguern He is percussionist not the drummer of the band.
@@lekalla Thanks, yes he is. I'm surprised that so many that so many major pop stars and musicians know so very little about the metal world and the talent in it.
Mr Mahon's face told me all I need to know
Great guests bring him back for more Nightwish 😊
Calling on Gabriel!
Pinball wizard for me.
Anytime
No I react too fast.
Jesus Elton.
There are so much fantastic songs.
If I think of Elton.
I think of just Fantastic.
Yup Fantastic.
I hope to see you live once in my life.
I like over the top.
A dying art.
I’m still standing. Yes because he is!❤
And the Stones are back too.
I’ve lost so many musical heroes.
I cried for Tina Turner.
Tienaatje. Man
