Hello Tom Tuffnuts ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air festival 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience.
Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
As I saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. "She is the metal version of Celine Dion!" - that's a statement. Hope you'll continue on this path.
I just saw you already reacted to "Nemo" too. Two in a row, subscribed for that.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. I have nothing against previous singers, but I do not consider myself the most suitable person to give specific recommendations from their repertoires.
** I think it's your place, fans of previous Nightwish eras, to present to the reactors the best recommendations with Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon, because you know and appreciate them directly. I encourage you to add the best recommendations in the comments. **
That being said, I will add here the message left the other days by an old fan of the band, @Fabrizio Gorla: " To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs. Just be fair and don’t make a comparison if you don’t want an open war in your comment section.

You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands - you already reacted to 2 of her performances from this show) here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): ruclips.net/p/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo
For entire episodes of the show with En subtitles, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: dailymotion_dot_com/xpinkeu/videos
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 6 covers there, the first is "Let It Go" from "Frozen" (22 weeks ago, already over 2.338M views), the second - "Alone" from "Heart" , released 20 weeks ago - 1.155M and counting. Then 18 weeks ago she dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 275K views. Just before Christmas she made a powerful cover of "Ave Maria" - already 300K views. 15 weeks ago she added a remastered / remixed version of the first one, "Let It Go" - already 203K. 13 weeks ago she added to the list a powerful cover of "Adagio" by Lara Fabian (!!!) - 424K views now. Then, just 8 weeks ago she gave us the last one so far: "Oblivion" by M83 - 501K views in 8 weeks..
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Whoa...this was a lot of knowledge placed on my head haha. Thank you so much. Trust me, the Nightwish train will continue. I am definitely looking forward to checking out her covers as well. Also, Covid sucks hehe
@@TomTuffnuts ahhh there it is 🤘🤘
Hi Gabriel 🙋🏼♀️
@@TomTuffnuts We learned over the years that a well informed reactor takes the best decisions. Please consider this message as a map and a compass, to find your way in Nightwish's 25 years ocean of music. Welcome among us!
@@Poppie-Joyce Hi :)
Is it just me or is her just swaying to the music and headbanging sexier then any of these pop stars wearing almost nothing and basically strip dancing on stage. My God her stage presence Is mesmerizing.
She also growls! Check out “Yours is an Empty Hope” live at Wembley or Tampere. She has one of the lowest pitch growls I’ve ever heard!
Honestly, even when she just stands still and just moves her hands...
It’s deeply satisfying watching a fellow American discover the best female vocalist on the planet is a Dutch Valkyrie fronting a Finnish metal band. We’ve all been there. Welcome aboard!
Apparently the Large Rock I been hiding under has finally been lifted haha.
@@TomTuffnuts small reactor tip : after a pause go back a bit before resuming to maintain song flow/continuity, your viewers will appreciate it :)
so welcome on board with the best band & female singer in the world ! no, seriously you will eventually realize this truth,sadly this amazing band deserves much more notoriety but that is hopefully changing,there are 2 pivotal events for NW since Floor started back in 2012 as the 3rd,current, final & best lead vocalist, #1 was this Wacken 2013 a seminal & legendary concert,#2 was Floor's performances from a Dutch tv show Beste Zangers 2019 after which Floor's & NW's popularity soared with sold out venues like never before.
stay with Wacken for a while including songs that tend to get overlooked like : Bless The Child,She is My Sin,Nemo & Amaranth. cheers

@@TomTuffnuts I'm 38 and have listened to all music my entire life and just found out about them a fucking year ago!!! Its both sad and exciting lol Best female lead I've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately the bass guitarist just left the band and he's irreplaceable.
@@TomTuffnuts btw Thank You for your service !!!!! 8yrs ! well done
@@nicod1361 if you tap the left cursor arrow, it goes back 5 seconds in the vid...
Holy Smokes, Floor Jansen is definitely one of my favorite female singers after hearing this. True and Raw Talen with an incredible performance!
They are not that bad and it seems she has a decent voice
Floor a raw talent < No way , she is 16 when she began to sing, then at 99 Rock Academy and after 2 years of Concematory and whole her life she is been styling with her singing .
Not long anymore until u have multiplied your views and subscribers :D
"One of"...My guess is you'll be revisting that assessment within a couple of songs? Floor is another dimension, a 'once in a generation' kind of talent and a blydi nice person to go with it!
@@rg8829 Dim by name, Dim by nature. Not that bad - whaaat? She’s the best and most versatile singer on the planet.
You hear that? .... The Nightwish Army approaches. 😏.
*Opens Door* What took you so long to come on in! ;)
Stomp chomp stomp chomp stomp... Finnish division present
@@TomTuffnuts youre saying that now... give it a week xD
French division present aswell !
Dutch legion reporting in..
Im so sorry, I didnt realize the song wasnt over yet!!! I went back and listened to it and my body can't handle the extra floorgasm! Thank you so much for turning me onto this band!
Floor started out at the age of 16/17 in a band called After Forever and they actually supported NightWish on a number of occasions, so the band were very well aware of her abilities. When their second vocalist (Annette) left midway through the tour that this Wacken show was part of they called Floor and asked her if she could be in the States and learn the set in 48 hours - she did, and there's a documentary called 'Please learn the set in 48hours' which is well worth watching 🤘
and that s how you send all the pop divas back to school ,)
Just MAJOR thing when it comes to Nightwish songs.......NEVER NEVER NEVER stop the video before the very end. If anything, this is sooooo important. :)
The reason she seems so happy is that she was! She'd only been singing with the band for a few months (she wasn't even an actual member of the band, yet) and here she was at Wacken, singing in front of 80,000 people. And, she killed it!
At this point she had been with the band like 10 months. I was at their show in Austin TX just a few weeks after she joined the tour and she NAILED this song back then too. I'm pretty sure it was her first performance of GLS with Nightwish :)
@@epictightpants Never gotten to see Floor live (Norway here), but I've watched so much of her content after I discovered her. What a fantastic artist she is. Nightwish is so lucky to have her.
Nightwish are a band that has literally changed my life so much. I feel so positive and grateful after many years of brain problems after I had meningitis. I felt sad, burn´t out and very alone but this music was the most amazing medicine for me. Floor also played a large part in it because her beautiful voice allowed me to release so much emotion that had been trapped inside. I will always love her for the tears and goosebumps that continues to present each time I listen to her sing.This was the performance that led me down the Nightwish rabbit hole and it is truly magical.
America is finally waking up to Nightwish. Enjoy the ride. 🙂🤘🕊
I'm American, when I discovered them and became a fan in 2003, almost no one here had heard of them. Today most metal heads in the US(at least that I know and have met) have, at the very least, heard of them. So they definitely have massively grown in the US in the 18 years I've been a fan.
@@vhesperian that’s good to hear. I’d got the impression that the US was a bit behind on them but maybe I was a bit misinformed. 🙂🤘🕊
@@cuillinguy Yeah it has been good to see. Though when you compare their popularity in the states to Europe, we still have some catching up to do.
@@vhesperian Yes, they definitely headline festivals over here. I just saw an advert for a festival in Hungary I think and they were headlining with Judas Priest as the other band. For me they’re up there with Queen.
@@cuillinguy Yeah I don't believe they have ever headlined a festival in the US. But they deserve too. Yeah Judas Priest is doing a tour with Sabaton in this States this fall. But I agree with you completely with them being up there with Queen
Hi Tom. Wow, you're quick with your reaction. Thank you for following my recommendation. Seeing your reaction, I am glad I asked you to take a look at them. I'm sure Gabriel Bardac will leave a comment here soon in which he will give you lots of information about the band and plenty of song recommendations. Enjoy the slide down this magical rabbit hole 🤘🏻 Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I will take all the knowledge I can get haha. I was told this is considered Symphonic Metal which makes sense and I freakin Love It!!!!
@@TomTuffnuts You are in for the ride of your life! They've been around since 1996. None of their songs are alike, but you'll be hard pressed to find a bad one. Floor is indeed the current singer and those goosebumps you had, we call it 'Floorgasms' 😄
She is the third and present singer of Nightwish and considered the best and most versatile female singer of our time. As I am a Flooraholic here is some background information on our Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. She joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. My favourite song is 'Energize Me'. They made a very beautiful music video out of this. After Forever disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song, such as from full operatic to serious growls in seconds. The songs 'Disdain' and 'Wild Card' are good examples. September 2012 came the call from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the American Tour as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist (there is a documentary made of this world tour ('Please learn the setlist in 48 hours'). The lyrics of the songs of Nightwish are very poetic and the music as a whole is challenging, but Floor pulled it off and she stayed for the whole world tour, culminating in this iconic Wacken 2013 Open Air festival. It was obvious that the combination Nightwish and Floor Jansen was made in Walhalla, so she became a permanent member of the band in 2013 as the relationship with Annette and the band was strained even before she became ill. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp' for a couple of years, but it became clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so Revamp disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived in the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died' is a must see. Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on RUclips. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads slienced and in awe, watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa'. And to see her in full opera mode watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered RUclips in the last year and uploaded many interesting videos on her channel. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses and so much more. Her 'Fan Friday' videos are hilarious. She even made a video reacting to herself performing this at Wacken. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band 'Sabaton'); daughter Freja (just turned 4 years last month); a horse and pony; a dog and 3 cats, she found this.
Nightwish Army, UK division here. Welcome Tom. I see Gabriel has made contact. He will guide you through the journey you are about to take. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy.
And can you imagine this song it's like 30% of her actually skills, maybe. This concert was 8 years ago and right now she is the vocal goddess. The great singers are awesome in they own genres. She is absolutely amazing in every single one (well maybe except the French rap, she said she had some problem with it but I think she's just too humble). Gabriel Bardac shoud be here any moment with his welcoming comment. Follow his suggestion and enjoy this amazing journey thru wonderful world of Nightwish music. Mostly I give sub after I watched few videos but in your case I'm pretty sure you one of us, a crazy fans of Nightwish. So thumb up and sub for your channel. All the best and see you soon.
actually everyones suggestions should be considered, I doubt Gab would want just his list to be exclusive to the exclusion of everyone else
Nightwish Army, US regiment, Pennsylvania division reporting! Welcome to Nightwish Tom! I look forward to marching at your side as you discover our Valkarie Queen Floor and the band. Just follow General Gabriels roadmap and you can't go wrong. BTW 82,000 people at Wacken.

NW Army Namibia checking in 🌌⚔️⛲🇳🇦🤘🏻
An 8 year old performance of a 17 year old song still blowing peoples minds, Nightwish been doing this for 25 years now, sooooo underrated and so sad that the majority of the world is only just discovering them, "raw" talent, there's nothing "raw" about it their all masterful and Tuomas Holopainen has got to be the most underrated composer's in history, he is a pure genius at putting together these monumental once heard never forgot scores, as for Floor, words cannot describe her very very few singers can sing anything and everything with perfection. These modern day "popular" music female singers who call themselves "Diva's" Know nothing, Floor has no limits, no boundaries, no specific style, whatever you've heard from her and how ever much , you've seen nothing yet.
Nobody else in the world does symphonic rock like the Nordics, pick any Symphonic band from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark they all rock,
May I recommend "The Greatest Show on Earth" Live at Tampere, something you'll never forget, in fact the whole live show is incredible. ruclips.net/video/45brzDJKZ3o/видео.html
Better late than never... I "discovered" Nighwish only this year and I'm a Finn... everything has its due time, maybe I wasn't mature enough for them earlier.
She came from heaven to deliver us good stories and songs. She is our metal goddess! You discovered a gem. As you'll see, she is a true storyteller, a true artist. Please continue in this rabbit hole
Alrighty then. Here we go. Nightwish Army reporting for duty. Let's go down the rabbit hole together.🐇🐇🐇🤪🔥🤘👍🎶♥️
That's her favorite song to sing live, that's why she's so happy, she actually did a new ending to the song, she's perfect
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band that started in Finland. This song is a good introduction to symphonic metal. There are many other great bands from Europe in this genre -- which are little known in America. Symphonic metal from Europe is the ultimate music, IMO.
Please, please, please, always listen to their songs to the bitter end. Even thru the credits.
Could be worse. I passed this song along to my older brother, he said he fell asleep. Not the reaction I expected.
Welcome to Floorland my friend. Enjoy.!!!
Nightwish Army is Coming ! ;) Enjoy the Ride , Mate ! ;)
The Nightwish Sound is a mixture of film, pop and folk music, melted into metal
Thank you for your service.
Enjoy your trip deep down the Nightwish rabbit hole!!!
This song gives me chills every time. WOW sums it up.
Very nice reaction! 2 things though; 1.please always listen a Nightwish song to the VERY end 2. Goosebumps are called Floorgasms at a Nightwish song with Floor. Greetings from the Netherlands .
Wacken is a small village in northern Germany with about 5000 inhabitants. And once a year it's home of "Wacken Open Air", one of the biggest Metal Festivals in the world.
Not quite 2,000 inhabitants...
its on my bucket list
Oh boy, you are in for a ride....come in Gabriel !
Its was 86000 people in the Concert. i was one of then. The City Wacken is in Germany and gives the greatest Metal Concerts every year in the World. I will never forget this Band on this evening.
You're in top 1% of reactors. I've seen a few hundred reactions to GLS, but you're the second who mentioned that "pause" in the middle is intermission (a.k.a. interlude). Subbed!
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
Watch out the Nightwish army will definitely come.
Greetings from Finland Tom, the northern division of the Nightwish Army. More Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen please.
Hi Tom. Another Nightwing fan here. I love to see when someone listen to their music for the first time. Thank you to show to the world this incredible band in your chanel
Welcome to symphonic Metal, with Nightwish and singer Floor Jansen , Nightwish Army incoming . Gabriel the General will help out you amazing journey down the Nightwish rabbit hole.
Hi Tom! I´m happy that you found Nightwish, the band since 1996,
and Floor Jansen, absolutely the most versatile female vocalist
of today. All the pieces at this Wacken 2013 concert are different.
Tuomas Holopainen, keys, is the genius composer. As you saw the
hole band is very talented musicians.
As a new sub. I hope we´ll soon see you here reacting to Nw songs.
I´m very sure this is a joyful path, you will enjoy, if you will join this
NW army. Btw. any of Wacken pieces will do, or any song from
their concerts all over the world.
Stay safe. Greets from Finland.
The band has been together since 1996 and Floor is their 3rd and current singer she joined the band in 2012 just 9 months before this show, and did her first show with Nightwish with 48 hours notice, traveling from The Netherlands to Settle Wa. to complete the US portion of the Imaginarium Tour. They have had 3 singers, Tarja from 1996 to 2005 very operatic singer, Anette 2007 to 2012 very poppy sounding and Floor the current singer the most versatile she can sing anything from Opera to metal, even death metal growls, and does them all with so much passion and power, and she is really a gift to the musical world in more ways than one. Check out her RUclips channel
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, agility, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a soprano with a range of more than three octaves (D3 to F6). It is apparent when listening to her sing that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres and is a vocal coach herself. It is incredible how she is able to take any song and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet.
3:39 The moment you got stuck in a moment of :
"Should I continue headbanging or just be in awe of a Goddess putting her spell on me?'
I see Gabriel has already posted...which is good! The man knows his Nightwish!!!
As for me...I am a 63 year old hard rock/heavy metal enthusiast from way, way back...like Jimmy Hendrix way back...before I was 10 years old...my best friend for 55 years...and I used to listen to rock music in his dad's den!
I still love my rock n roll on the heavier side...and imagine my surprise last year when I listened to "Ghost Love Score" for the first time!!! MIND BLOWN!!! Now...I can't get enough of them!
Just follow Gabriel's guide....I know I have..and now I have CDs, Blue Ray DVD's...heck...I may have to get a turntable so I can listen to vinyl for the first time since the 1980's!!
Not only is the band beyond amazing, but Floor is just phenomenal. Although she is a Nederlander, she lives on a small farm in Sweden with her husband and daughter; is a horsewoman, vocal coach, and originally wanted to become a biologist before she began classical voice training.
She does weekly youtube chats online, and COVERS...my God does she do covers. Check out her youtube page for Phantom of the Opera, on which she collaborated with Henk Poort, the Phantom in the Dutch national production of the musical.
Symphonic metal is something that is just beginning to take off in North America-- it's huge in Europe-- and as a Canadian I am thrilled to see this happening.
we call that having a FLOORGASM , Welcome to the world of symphonic Metal . I must suggest the song "Storytime" from the same show Wacken Open Air 2013 with 82,000 fans . Nightwish Army incoming , down the rabbit hole you go Enjoy
Finaly beat our general Gabriel . He will be here soon . I think it's time for a little story please do storytime from same concert . And prepare yourself for the nightwish Army
You want it...it's gonna happen! Who is Gabriel?? Many people have mentioned him already haha
@@TomTuffnuts wait and you will find out who Gabriel is
I love this moment at 14:08 when you completely came back from the trance Floor moved you into... :-)
Welcome to Nightwish, a band that will amaze you with talent, storytelling, and new skills each song.. you almost never finish discover new stuff about this band, and they got 3 diffrent era´s as well, one with each front women, you could almost say 3 diffrent bands, and then still its always a NW sound to it all.. dont miss out on this band, your gonna fall in deep love..lol.. other epic women you should know is Simone Simmons from Epica, she can make you amazed to..
I can hear 👣👣👣, oh dang, it's the Nightwish Army approaching... Dutch Army is in...
🤟😎
This particular performance gets better every time you listen it. You never get tired of it. I've listened it 50+ times and lost my counts already long ago.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!
and this was the 13th of a 15 song set yet Floor was just as powerful as at the start.
Greetings, friend, from Tennessee USA ❤️ Nightwish Army member ! Such a Joy to see you experience the Mystical, Magical, Musical adventure of NIGHTWISH ! Can't wait to see you experience SO much more from this amazing band ☺️ ! GREAT reaction !!!!
Sensational climax to your ears? Welcome to your first Floorgasm!
BTW: you did cut off before the end☹️
And if you will continue your NW journey: please do not pause when the queen is singing😬
Canadian division reporting!! Have fun enjoying the nightwish rabbit hole!!!
Hi from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Yes........ we are here............ LOL
Floor has stated several times that this is her favorite song to sing from NW.
Welcome to NIGHTWISH....the Army descends on you....enjoy the journey, you won't regret it!
Greetings, Tom. Maine,USA saying welcome to the adventure that is Nightwish. The Wacken Open Air Festival of 2013 is an excellent tool to introduce yourself to this band. Each song is better than the last one, no matter in what order you listen to them. When you finish the last one(15 in all), treat yourself to viewing the whole concert, non-stop. 1 hour 38 minutes and 8 seconds of perfection. Watch to the very end and see how much this band loves their audience. I "found" them 5 months ago and it has been the best ride ever!
Great Idea, sounds like a date night with the Wifey, I am curious to see what she thinks of Floor. She is also a very gifted singer. I will have to introduce her to this amazing community soon
@@TomTuffnuts Also commented on NW concert info for USA. NYC and L.A.
Just a suggestion - you stopped the video before the actual end of the song. Don't do it - you just never know what you might have missed. BTW - Floor is Dutch and her last name is pronounced "Yansen" - the "J" is pronounced as a "Y" in many of the European countries. Nightwish and Floor will never disappoint. Ever.
lol, yeah! Just don't do it!
If you heed this advice it will serve you well in the future.
Most definitely. Never cut a song short, and never pause during a solo.
I don't know why so many reactors do this... you can clearly see there is more in the timeline. The worst ones are Leo Marachiolli. It's like, have you never watched videos on YT before? Then they apologize, too late... Oh I totally watched it afterwords ... why should we care? This is a reaction channel, some of those are the best parts, the last bits or the add-ons. Warning sir (Tom), when you get to The Greatest Show on Earth (@ Tampere), you better watch every damn second of it, or you will catch hell for it. I know what others have gotten in lash-back for it.
@@krypticeye2126 You are late and he did well.
Great reaction! 👍🤘
You paused before the song was finished however.😜
Greetings from the UK!
Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen).
Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had, she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today.
The other vocalists are -
Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals.
Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals.
Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera.
The other band members are -
Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland)
Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland)
Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland)
Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues
Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom)
Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present
Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well.
The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen.
The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is extremely varied.
The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set.
Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible.
Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Storytime, Romanticide, Ghost River, Ever Dream, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders, Nemo, Amaranth and I Wish I had an Angel all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken).
Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance.
Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version.
Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way.
Prepare for the Nighwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘
I'm sure a chap called Gabriel will be along shortly to give you more info than you'll ever need.👍
Floor even amazed herself hitting that final note, you can tell when she speak about the ending in GSL, that she is actually proud of this herself..
Tom, this was just one of their songs, you still have a wonderful long musical journey ahead of you. Questions about the talent of a band and what living live songs mean, you will learn on some levels through and with Nightwish, from all band members. And you have already correctly recognized that Floor Jansen is not just a singer and there is a lot to experience from her...in other times songs would be sung about her.
A lot of nightwish's stuff in the studio sounds just as good live, in my opinion.
Me: Prior to 2021 "Nightwho?" Never heard of them
ME: 2021 Nightwish is so awesome,! How did I waste the previous 25 years not knowing about them? (tears hair out)
nice reaction! welcome to the Noghtwish rabbit hole!
Romania Nightwish Army here !
Great reaction and commentary even if you prematurely ended the song before it was finished. 😄🤘
"Song Of Myself" the best headbanger song they played. Your boys will love it!!

Just another aspect into Nightwish. They have soooo much meaning in their songs, created mostly by their Keyboardist Tuomas. :)
My links here are mostly with lyrics. Hopefully you're into that because they have so much meaning behind everything that they do. :)
please heed the before text to each section so that certain songs don't lose their true meaning, mainly 3 that you see towards the end of my list. :)
Welcome, to Nightwish. :) Here is my list for you......but first.....
Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) who is actually Dutch and the 3rd of the bands lead singers.
By the way....she is 6'1" and known as the Valkyrie Goddess.
Marco - Bass and vocals (wait until you hear him sing with Floor and solo....)
This band is going to rock your world dude.
Emppu - Lead guitar
(jokester and very deliberative in his playing)
Jukka on drums, but had to stop due to insomnia (but is still behind the scenes with Nightwish), new drummer is Kai who was the drummer with Wintersun.
Tuomas - keyboards and main song writer/choreographer for Nightwish aka genius. :)
And Troy, who you will see trust me, as he is vocals/flute/woodwind/bagpipes/you name it lol. :)

Musical climax for the ears( with Floor singing)= Floorgasm😉
Gonna sub now , so thanks for this great reaction👌
Man! Your reaction was pretty much mine when I first heard this. Welcome to an awesome band with an incredible singer.
Good one. Every one smiles when Floor sings the Siren/Angel/Valkyrie
I’m late to the party again.
Nice reaction.
You can always go all the way to the end with Nightwish. They’ll never waste your time.
Liked and subbed.
Enjoy going down the rabbit hole!! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Nice reaction! Welcome to Nightwish, they are the most addictive of bands and the variety of their music is utterly mind-blowing. Floor is one of the great vocalists but Marco (the bass player) is also a great singer. You will LOVE this journey!
Hi from the UK. Nightwish; there are few words! You ain't heard nothing yet! Floor is classically trained. They are a very tight "unit" of masterful musicians. Floor can certainly tell a story through her vocals, expressions and overall performance. You have experienced a classic "Floorgasm". Great reaction. Best wishes.
Your goose bumps are known as a "Floorgasm".
Ghost Love Score is unofficially Nightwish's anthem. More goodies to come.
Nightwish Army TN Volunteer Division glad to be in the house for your first Floorgasm! LOL Subbed for more!
Hi Tom... I just have to congratulate you, on your first "Floor-gasm"..; and carefully read "General Gabriel's suggestions ". He is the "Nightwish Army's front-fan" :-)
Best symphanic metal band ever. Welcome bro..
Nightwish really are one of a kind. Great song writing, beautiful symphonic metal.
The pipes are just decorative.
It’s probably the best vocal performance of all time
All the symphonic music you hear (on almost every song of Nightwish) is written by Tuomas (keyboards) but is performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Since there’s not enough space on stage for a full live orchestra (and also couldn’t go with them on world tour for more than a year) it’s a running soundtrack pre-recorded at Angel Studios, London. This orchestra is featuring on every album NW released since ‘Once’ (except the last one Human :|: Nature which is performed by Blue Dot Orchestra). ruclips.net/video/HcxjKlUcjXo/видео.html
The background choir you frequently hear are the Metro Voices, a choir group also based in London.
At some songs a boys soprano performed: Guy Elliott, 2nd boy soprano: Tom Williams, courtesy of the Reigate St Mary's Choir School. Child choir: Young Musicians London.
Thanks @papaverweg for this new info. Greetings from Utrecht.
O boy, did you expect that Nightwish Army marching in? Nice to meet you. Westland, Netherlands present!
After 62 reactions ... i love your reaction and always extra pleasantly trilled by the arriving Nightwish Army. Its a joi to experiance and i needed this. Thanks to you all, it set tears in my eyes..... again!
Your face at 4:45 (after Floor sang first) is priceless. "Ok, it must continue, but I'm not sure I can handle it"
Greetings my friend from New Jersey and you are getting a crash course in European symphonic metal and other type of metal bands that you should listen to they will absolutely blow you away and yes you are correct the United States has been living under a rock for the longest time they are drowning in hip hop r&B and country right now and that's great for some people but it's not my cup of tea and I just think the music in the United States right now is just so god-awful thank God for the quarantine because that's when I discovered Nightwish like a lot of other Americans and my taste in music has completely changed you will be blown away by a lot of these bands they are phenomenal live the composition is incredible the fans are awesome the lyrics are awesome it's just an experience!!!!! The other thing I would say to you is just buckle up and enjoy the ride because it's an incredible journey and by the way where are you in the United states? Like I said I am from New Jersey and Nightwish will be playing in New York City and as of now I have an extra ticket LOL
lol ....i love Floor Newbis .....haha....your face 03:25.....great reaction
Nightwish Army, New Zealand Division reporting. I've listened to plenty of reactions to this song, and still enjoy listening to it. It has been my favourite song by any band for months now. A few other NW songs to react to: Gethsemane, Dead Boy's Poem, Shoemaker, How's the Heart, The Phantom of the Opera, The Poet and the Pendulum, Ever Dream, Sleeping Sun. All awesome!
