I am American, and never heard of Nightwish or Floor before 2020, since I heard them been completely hooked. I am 56 this month and love strong vocals, from all genres, but mostly gravitate to hard rock and metal. I am completely blown away by what Floor can do with her voice. Just isn't fair for someone to be that good no matter the song or genre.
I think she got it ALL! Looks, voice, and from what I hear from people, a beautiful soul to go along with it!
Welcome to the Nightwish family,and our Queen Floor. These are one of the most talented and humble beautiful souls. I discovered them in 2018, and was lucky to see them live in 2022 at Lowell, Massachusetts. I have subscribed, and hope that you will continue on this journey called Nightwish. Greetings from Alabama 😎
better late than never
If you liked Floor check out Tarja
@@Ponderthis79 To be honest, I've never been a fan of Tarja.
I think this is the best live Nightwish concert ever.
I've only got one thing to say:
Best. Banshee. Wail.
Ever.
I'll agree with that!! 🙌
@@MrsRealistic: By the way, I have a couple of band recommendations for you!
First, Canadian power metal and speed metal band Unleash the Archers. Hailing from Vancouver, BC, on Canada's West Coast, Unleash the Archers is an award-winning band led by frontwoman Brittney Slayes. In 2021, Unleash the Archers won the Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for 2020 Metal Album of the Year, for their album Abyss.
My first-time hearing recommendation is the track Abyss, from that album.
Next, because you said you react to independent artists, I am going to recommend independent Indian folk metal band Bloodywood. Hailing from New Delhi, India, Bloodywood takes English rap/hip-hop lyrics, harsh vocals, Hindi lyrics, metal, traditional Indian instruments like flute and dhol drums, and mixes it all up to produce some of the most social-minded music I've ever heard.
Bloodywood also has put their money where their mouth is, on at least two occasions. First, for the video Jee Veerey (Hindi for "Brave One"), a song about fighting mental illness and depression, Bloodywood paid out-of-pocket for 60 1-on-1 counseling sessions. Because people paid that forward, last I knew, the number of counseling sessions had grown to over 600 -- for anyone in the world to use.
Second, for the video Yaad (Hindi for "in memory" or "remember"), Bloodywood again paid money out-of-pocket that they had earned on their tour "Raj Against the Machine," in order to donate a van to an animal hospital charity, because the old van the charity had that they had used as an animal ambulance broke down.
My first time recommendation is Jee Veerey, Endurant (a song about fighting bullying), or Aaj (Hindi for "today"). Aaj is a song about not letting the past hold you back, and is one of the most positive and uplifting metal anthems I've ever heard.
Lastly, when they were asked why they were still independent, Karan from Bloodywood said that their Patreons online were their supporters and label.
So check out both of these amazing bands! You will not regret it if you do, I guarantee it.
Or - glisando if you want to be technical
Hmm, maybe a great 2nd to Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean. What do you think? Both clearly amazing
This gig is a milestone in modern music history
Amen to that! 🙌
All floorgasmzzzz!!!
Hello, beautiful reaction, I'm glad that you joined in listening to Nightwish again, it's a beautiful band, family, they are also fans. The Nightwish army learns from them how to respect each other, that their fans are not only fans, they are also family and everyone likes each other they respect you like family from all over the world, greetings from Poland
Best symphonic metal band ever
Best duo ever ( Floor Marko )
Best female vocalist of our times.............wich you will discover during your journey ( Nightwish songs / Floor's previous bands and personnal stuff )
Hi from France
New subscriver already 🇫🇷😁😁🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thank you! Cheers 🍻 from Texas!
Just do the whole damn concert!!
Might as well
That's probably a good idea! 😆👍🤘
A big Nightwish fan. Fell in love with them in 2000. Hooked ever since. But also a big Amy Lee fan as well. So all is good. You should check out Amy singing Bring Me To Life with The Waggaki Band. A Japanes folk metal band who use a lot of traditional instruments. I think you might enjoy that.
One of the best nightwish reactions 👍
Why thank you! 😊
She and Hannes haf 2 gaughters Freja and Lucy 😍
Jukka is my wife's fave drummer ever.
He's amazing!
You gotta check out Storytime, Amaranth, and I want my Tears Back Now from this same show. Also check out The Greatest Show on Earth Live in Tampere. AMAZING
I've gotten bombarded with requests for story time next! So be it! 🙌😄
Just became a patreon. Keep on your stuff. I will give you some hints from overseas.😍😍
Awesome thank you! It's much appreciated! Maybe I should actually start a patreon account! 😆👍
If you want to know more about the music "industry" check out Rick Beato, and "Wings of Pegasus" .
Hi my friend Rick's a legend love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀
Thank you! 😁
NWA🇫🇮🤘😎👍🔥
I loved your reaction I just subscribed to you please listen to The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere!
Do it now but hold on to something steady!
I have been warned! Luckily, my desk is VERY heavy! 😆👍
yes they are amazing but sad to say it will be a while before they tour a year or two I hear Momma Floor just had another little one and will be busy lol ( I don't know if they mentioned it but her husband is the drummer for Sabaton. I won't give you any sugestions I'm sure you got lots, I'll just give a little like the drummer (Jukka) and the bass/vocals (Marco) are no longer there Kai the new drummer and Jukka the new bass are both from Wintersun and one more tidbit is that they have three production numbers-Ghost Love Score The Greatest Show (20 min) and The Poet and the Pendulum (14 min) I'd save The Poet for a long while and research it first to grasp it don't worry you'll have a lot to keep you busy LOL and each one you hear will be your new best favorite you'll see enjoy your journey.
Floor had her baby in October last year and was back on stage in Amsterdam by the middle of December
That's insane! My babies were attached to me 24/7 at that age 😄
Honestly, I hate hearing that reactors get "attacked" for comparisons with Evanescence and Amy Lee. Sure, it's different music, but the comparisons are pretty obvious, and it's pretty disrespectful to Amy Lee, who is a superb singer. I wouldn't be where I am today, as a massive Floor Jansen and Nightwish fan if I hadn't got heavily into Evanescence in the early 2000s.
Amen to that! Thank you! I love her voice AND Floor's! There are songs Amy has sung that will stick with me forever and make me weep.
Biggest criticism of Romanticide - too short!
Yes! I wanted to keep rocking out!
I'm glad you decided to continue exploring Nightwish music, you have a new subscriber here, so I can follow you in this adventure. I really liked your comments on the subject, and I hope that the negative comments will not stop you. The true fans of Nightwish support the reactors with information and encouragement, because they understand that this contributes to increasing the popularity of the band they love.
All the best, to you and your family, from Romania!
Welcome aboard the crazy train! 🤪 😆 Nah, I don't let the mean comments get to me too bad. I try to let it slide off my back. If people want to hurl insults, they must have issues of their own that have nothing to do with me. I wish them God speed 🙏
hey Gabe hope your doin well and the weather is kind to you
Hi general Gabriel love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀😀 the amazing nightwish 👍🔥.
@@MrsRealistic Most Nightwish fans have nothing against Evanescence, but they're just completely different genres. Personally, I think it's just sad that there are so few female fronted metal bands in the USA and almost no symphonic metal bands, although the "symphonic" part of European symphonic metal is inspired by American orchestral soundtrack music. It seems very strange to me that there is so much intense discussion of feminism in the USA, but at the same time there are so few popular female rock/metal musicians and singers.
@SokolRock yeah, there are a few (of course, Hart and evanescence are the first ones that pop into my head 😆) But just as most music here, it's pushed by record labels and the music industry to suit the bigwigs rather than the artists. I've learned so much about the corruption in the music industry since I started this channel. Independent artists are bucking the system, but many don't get the recognition because they have to do all the work themselves. It's sad.
Floor is an absolute Goddess.
Nightwish recently uploaded their song "Tribal" to RUclips - which shows live clips of their recent tour, including Floor owning the stage while heavily pregnant! 🇬🇧🤘🤘
Now that's badass!! 💯
You should jump the "list" and do it! @@MrsRealistic
@@craigbolton5093 i Concur:) often its an Incident, the "but that is 11 Years old, how are they doing nowadays, damn if i say This in the Video, the Fans gonna be upset" no we dont:) and we know that they are like good Red Wine, but it always help to go to the Vinery and take an Look:)
I have to agree with the suggestion to jump ahead to do the official LIVE Tribal song. It's so worth it. With Nightwish, there's so much. It's a candy store, Bakery, filled with goodies. @@MrsRealistic
That banshee scream at the end still amazes me even after hearing it 100 times
Oh man, that was UNREAL!
@@MrsRealistic If you think that's Banshee try Slaying the Dreamer from Buenos Aires 2018.
@@MrsRealistic That "Banshee Sream", jeffmcilroy7081 is refering to has an actual musical term; it's called a 'Glissando', wich means nothing more then the up and down slide of a musical tonal ladder. It's normally used by vocalists as a warm-up for their vocal chords. So you could say, in this track; Floor and Marko were warming up their vocal chords in an actual song. ;)
Not to mention Marko matching her!!! holy crap
Hello
I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here.
She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have 2 daughters (Freja & Lucy)
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 3 octaves (C3 to F6). Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish.
Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she cool singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much! All of this info is great!😊
Hey Mrs Realistic. The long road ahead is paved with amazing Floorgasms 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes it is! I love all of the monikers and names given to her and this band!
Finding Nightwish saved my life- Seeing them live changed it.
Amazing! 👏
You took my words ! Just so !
Ditto. Greatest Show on Earth did it for me.
totally agree , feeling lousy but seeing them was the best gig iv'e ever been to.made my day and year
Amy Lee is very good too. Nightwish is beyond great. They are the best at what they do. No one else comes close.
Nightwish Army South Germany Division
Really ?
Then take a look at Epica feat. Floor Jansen with “Sancta Terra”.
I think you'll have to correct your opinion a bit after that.
I have seen this video so many times. They are very good but not like Nightwish. some stuff that Epica does move me but after 8 years Nightwish still brings tears to my eyes. Floor and Simone were once room mates@@ladydalida6917
I know everyone is always focused on Floor, but let’s give Toumas credit, head banging and playing keyboard!!! OMG .
Watching Yukka standing up to beat his kit harder… damn!!
Tuomas is my favourite. ❤
Nightwish isn't just a band or music. Nightwish is a lifestyle. Always striving to be better than we are. Be smarter than we are. Be more charitable than we are.
Forever Nightwish Army
I went to the Nightwish concert in LA on their last tour, what an unbelievable experience. I’ve seen all the videos from all their concerts, but let me tell you this. NOTHING can prepare you for the sheer power of Floor’s voice and presence. It is a physical force that you can feel, best way I can describe it is being hit full in the chest with a 500 pound feather pillow swung by a giant. Like a giant WHUMP when she steps on stage and opens her mouth
A very vivid & excellent comment! 👍
I can imagine it! The visual I got just from your description was PERFECT! 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it as much as my wife and I did. Well worth the trip from Austin.
👍"being hit full in the chest with a 500 pound feather pillow swung by a giant"😂👌 It's TRUE.😆😉🤘
@fizzyridertoo You're in Austin? We are too! 👋
I'm 75 and never watched music reaction videos or music videos of any performers past 1990. I'm a 50's - 80's music guy. I am the perfect judge who is the best female vocalists of bands after 1990. 4.5 years ago I started watching reaction videos. Nightwish 2013 was my first endeavor into anything metal. Floor absolutely floored me. Just left me in awe. Over the last 4.5 years I have diddled around checking out other bands with female lead singers. None of them have ever left me in awe like Floor has. And most of those bands, their music just sucks besides. There is a lot of metal bands out there that if I was a reactor, I would shut the video off halfway through. You have not even got past .2% yet of seeing every aspect of music Floor can provide. Sorry, but that's my honest opinion.
Not sure if you have checked out other female fronted symphonic metal or opera metal bands like Epica, Within Temptation, Xandria or Sirenia; to name a few. Symphonic metal bands are a purely European phenomenon, mainly in Scandinavia, German speaking countries and especially the Netherlands. Pioneers were Therion from Sweden in the early 90ties with the introduction of opera singers.
Nope, I'm only 2 songs in...I have a LONG way to go! 😄
Paiste cymbals "We survived Jukka Nevalainen at Wacken 2013!" Beast of a drummer! and so obviously FEELS the music.
He has broken so many of those. 😂 It’s in their book.
The thing that I love the most about Nightwish is that they make every song an event. Some of their songs, like 'The Greatest Show on Earth' feel like a full-length movie, you are absolutely spent by the end...
Wow, they bring tears to your eyes, that means I'm not the only one with that experience, makes me feel less insecure. ;-)
Nightwish does it to me too. The tears, and hair standing on end, is a regular event when listening to Nightwish. I'm still amazed how it happens despite how often I listen to their tracks. Nightwish is just that good.
😆 I'm glad I'm not alone!
The best live band with the best musicians in the world
- no contest!
Hail to you Mrs Realistic, because it is thanks to people reacting on RUclips like yourself, that the crappy US music industry can no longer hide these gems from the public. Oil will always float on top of water, there's no keeping it under the surface. You have your (lengthy) list, so just enjoy, and we'll join you at every post. Greatz to you and your family! French Division of the Nightwish Army.
Thank you kindly! That means a lot! 😊🙏
Nightwish Army Turku Finland here. Thank you, very nice reaction! Just Nightwish doing Nightwish things! And as you have surely noticed, although they are all outstanding , none of them standout. Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at! Enjoy the journey!
As good as Floor was in 2013, I believe she’s even better now.
Like good wine🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
I'm so excited to the evolution!!
My dear, you ain't seen nothing yet!!
OMG...I know I'm in for it! 😄🤘
Floor joining Nightwish was just the best match ever. I like Tarja to but Floor is just next level.
No worries Mrs. Realistic. Once you hear more from Floor, you will realize even though Amy is an amazing vocalist she is in the minor leagues when it comes to live vocalization. Respect to Amy. I love Amy's early music.
You are not alone lovely lady. Floor starts the waterworks in all of us and those goosebumps you referenced is what we lovingly refer to as a "Floorgasm". Get used to it on this journey. Hope to see you again very soon. Subbed to the ride.
👍You are so right ,"she is born for this", the whole band is,but,if you go back in Floors history ,you gonna find a real treasure of good music. That said, Nightwish is also a treasure and with a facinating story. Hope you dive in some more Nightwish or Floor.🤘 Greatings from Spain.😉
Thanks so much! Cheers 🍻 from Texas!
If you are sad or having a bad day, Nightwish is always the best medicine😀
Truer words were never spoken!! 🙌
Nightwish Army Vegetable Division North Germany (NWAVDNG) reporting for duty! We will follow you down the rabbit hole!
Nice reaction, appreciate your comments on the comments 😊. My next favorite song would be Ever Dream from Wacken. But, regardless of your choice, you will not be disappointed. "The next Nightwish song will always be your favorite"...
SO muss das:) grüße von anar fränggischn Bratwerrscht:D
Thank you! I'm looking forward to it!
I'm an American, and discovered this band completely by accident back in the 90's when I saw their second album in a record store, thought the cover looked cool, and took a chance and picked it up. Before long I had them import the first record, and have been buying their albums on release ever since. Really good band, it's great that they're finally getting some international recognition, and a lot of that has to do with reaction channels like yours.
They have plenty of international recognition - throughout Europe, South East Asia, Australasia, Central & South America. Notice anything ?
Thankfully there ARE some pros to the internet! 😄😉
Great reaction! Floor worked with physiologist in her younger days to learn how to windmill without hurting her neck. You can see she bends at her waist and crouches slightly while supporting her neck and upper body by bracing her hands against her thighs. I concur with others you should watch Yours is an Empty Hope live from Wembley (my favorite but Mexico City is pretty good too). Very heavy and a little surprise in the chorus. Fun fact, they used a section of the song in an episode of The Simpson's so Nightwish has now achieved cultural relevance!
Well I certainly wasn't head banging the right way in my teens! 😅
Actually the song on The Simpsons was ”Yours is an empty hope”. 😊
@@k.l.7788 That's what I said. Sorry if it wasn't clear.
@@rnowak85 no, you were really clear, I just speedread wrong, so apologies from me. 🙏🏻
Floor studied at the Dutch Rock Academy and then 3 years of opera and musical theatre. There is a video of her singing a page of a phone book!
OK, now I HAVE to see that! 😆🤘
@@MrsRealistic ruclips.net/video/FtPpYbChVHs/видео.html
It's more like a few lines than a complete page, but as usual, she sounds amazing 😂
@@deeteenw Yes, glad she did not choose a page with the name Jansen (as common in Netherlands as Johnson, Jones or Smith in USA).
@@MrsRealistic Here it is! ruclips.net/user/shortsgmjIHx10g1U?si=tN-3HDqvf1w5Q-Wy. She was on a radio program on Dutch National Radio (NPO 2) to perfrom an promote her first single, Fire, from her solo album. There was always commets from fans that she could sing the phone book and so the host asked her to do it and being the awesome person she agreed. I think it was for a pest control company from the R section of the Dutch Yellow Pages.
Jukka beats the drums like they owe him money!🤘🎸Emppu is the guitar master!🤘🎸
I heard of Nightwish for the first time during covid when I randomly bought ticket to their virtual show in May 2021 .. i was instant fan and bought tickets to Toronto and Montreal shows for May 2022.. Small venue, no pyro or lightboards but intimate settings but band still fantastic without all those trappings ...I decided then and there to head to Munich that December to see full show ,pyro, lightboards etc and actually managed to get into greenroom ( long story how) and actually meet Kai Hahto... such a gentleman .. . From Munich concert I phoned a Finnish FB friend and we decided we would meet up and see NW in Kitee ( original hometown of band ) in June 2023.. . I also managed to see them in Germany ( Gelsenkirchen) a few days before ... So now I have big travel debts travelling to Europe from Ottawa but I am not upset as Nightwish has suspended touring for the near future and I got to see them in club venue, theatre venue, arena venue, outdoor venue and their hometown venue .. So fun to discover this band .
Lucky you!! I didn't discover them until early 2023, so I missed their 2022 Toronto concert at History (just 5km away from my apt.). :-(
You are one lucky son of a gun!! I'm Canadian as well, but I live in Texas. Cheers from a fellow "Canuck" 🍻😊
Hey happy to hear of another soul that was in Gelsenkirchen last year. I flew all the way from SOuth Africa with my non metal fan wife to go see NW and Floor. My wife actual cried when Floor sang Decades in the Sun. Yeah amazing show
@@gene6690 I loved that venue for the show . .. Nightwish sounded amazing and even the sailors on the barges passing on the canal behind the venue were rocking out
@@recentisland1513 Yeah the barges were a unique backdrop. I think we fall into the very lucky class. I was so worried Floor was going to succumb to exhaustion due to her pregnancy and the heavy tour schedule. Then she did collapse, i think two shows later. A Very unforgettable experience
Fantastic reaction I must say to you MUCH RESPECT to you as a mom and home schooling your children . I found Nightwish about 8 years ago and its been such a blessing for me to get me away from all the BS and corruption all around us Americans . General Gabriel's list is the one to work from and you seem to like the heavier side so I suggest on his list there song "Yours is an Empty Hope" live in Mexico City or Wembley 2015 next . Hint : Floor Growling
Aww thank you! Our kids have never been to public school. It's just too nuts out there now. Thanks for the suggestions too by the way! Cheers 🍻
I like Amy, but I think Nighwish is different level. Sorry about that.
Yes, different for sure!!
This band is so intense...never misses a tone....her singing get my goosebumpses get goosebumpses....I've heard them live once in Hamburg...Fu..ing fantastic.
I can only hope I'm that lucky!!
Floor= the most talented, versitile female vocalist the planet has to offer right now. i saw them in DC two years ago and she really is that good live. and the band of Corse..
I've been a fan since their original singer, but lost interest a little with the second one who is also a great vocalist but didn't have the same power, then Floor shows up and I'm hooked again. Unfortunately I never had a chance to get to a show until a few years ago in NYC and it is definitely worth it, if you get the chance don't pass on it.
you could try : After Forever with "Dreamflight"(Floor's 1st band , and Revamp with "Disdain"(her 2nd band) and ofcourse Eica with "Terra Sancta"with Floor as guestsinger... and then please Ayreon
Great input from your reaction. Ill be back for more Nightwish!!!
Thank you!!
Hi ! I´m glad you continued on the Nightwish path, and I liked your comments. Yes it´s emotional to watch these with Floor on stage.
There is a huge mount of NW music to listen to. I hope we´ll soon you see here again. You have also a new subscriber here.
Greets from Finland. Take care.
Delighted you did Romanticide as your second reaction. You've got a hint of Marko singing today, but really you'll end up shocked just how good he is... his higher range is incredible!! That really high note from Floor was a D6 by the way 😊
Fuggin' unreal, that's for sure!!
Floors voice just touch your soul and grab your heart ❤
Tnx for your great commend :0 Nightwish best live band .🤘🤘🤘
Rock on! I love it!!😎🤘
This GODDESS can sing anything you want,ARISE NIGHTWISH ARMY
Nightwish is amazing, or what?
Think for just a moment, this recording is almost 11 years old. And getting chills( Floorgasmes) from it?? I would say: It's an experience, it changes everything you have ever known.
Greetings from a pretty proud Dutch 60 years old man 🇳🇱🤘🫡
Nightwish is for me one of the few bands that are even better live than in studio. Nightwish army Italian Division present ! 🤘
Great you like this music. Maybe the a in Wacken must be pronounced like in 'what' or in 'Jansen' (you pronounced her name perfectly). About the windmill (turning the long hair around), you may have noticed that Floor places hands on her hips when she does that.
Two years ago I had not heard of Nightwish or Floor. A good friend kept pestering me to give them a listen recommending "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2015. I wasn't keen as I had preconceived ideas about symphonic metal but I relented and was blown away and have been ever since. What a banger Romanticide is having all of the trademark Nightwish transitions and multi layering and of course this masterful live performance... one of so many from this phenomenal band. Thank you for a great reaction 🙏😊👍❤️
You're very welcome! I told my husband to check them out as well!
Your friend is Awesome!
@@k.l.7788 Yes, a keeper 👍😊
Let’s GO!!
🤘😎
Umm it's OK I do like Rick though 80s 90s rock
The thing with Floor is, she’s fierce and powerful on stage, and at the same time humble and down to earth in person. I’ve had the honor of meeting her in person last year and she radiates love in person. For my taste Nightwish can be a bit much, as I still haven’t found my inner metalhead, but I do enjoy watching people watch them for the first time on RUclips. My own musical taste is more in line with Floor’s solo work though. Floor simply is amazing in all she does, and as far a videos go, I’ll watch them all!
Even tho I've only seen 2 videos, I got that aura from her. She seems amazing!
If you want to hear Floor REALLY growl.... "Misery's no Crime", with her previous band, Revamp. ruclips.net/video/SNPesLFTnUg/видео.html
Thank you! 😊😁
great reaction. i cant wait for you to see the solo stuff from Floor too and her older bands after forever and revamp
She's such a beast, and you can't count Marco out as a vocalist by any stretch of the imagination. That harmonized vocal slide at the end is just a giant cherry on top of a great song.
Welcome to the Rabbit hole, let us know. When it's Storytime 😃
Nightwish Army, Jacksonville Fl. Division here. It is so nice to get a reactor like yourself. You did an excellent job. In my opinion, you would be best served by following General Gabriel Bardac's guidance. He will lead you to the best quality videos. With very rare exception(Shoemaker) their live videos are the way to go. Sometimes you should get a little understanding of the context of their performance(Poet and the Pendulum, The Greatest Show On Earth).You will need the lyrics, to get the very deep and personal meanings. Tuomas , the keyboard player and composer of virtually all of their music, is known as The Metal Mozart for good reason. Welcome aboard and I know you will enjoy the ride.
Thanks so much! I've subscribed to his channel so I can follow along with the right videos! Cheers 🍻 from Texas
and then to think at this point she was only 10 months with the band and had to learn this full set of songs in 48 hrs
Unreal! It takes me forever just to memorize the lyrics spot on for ONE song 😄
Well done - most North Americans cannot pronounce Wacken, or Jansen.
I don't know where people get the idea Floor is 6'1". She is not. She is 183 cm barefoot which is almost exactly 6'.
But she does wear 10cm heels often .
I don't know about 4 octaves. 3 plus 3 tones maybe.
You have a long journey ahead.
Romanticide, good as it is, is not even in my top 6 which tells you something. Nor is GLS.
Try Song of Myself from this concert.
But the best concert of all is Buenos Aires 2018.
You ain't heard nothin' yet ...
Oh, and re the workout, I can confirm.
But they are not touring the new album later this year so you have a while to wait. However they have done 178 shows in the US over the years, so your chance should come.
Nightwish Army UK Eastern Division signing out for now...
Thank you for the info! 🙌
Welcome! Nightwish army, Arkansas div. here. You're right, the big E is a no no, not EVEN in the same league! It is Vah-ken. It's in Germany. Watch hellfest 2022 for an updated look at the band, 82.000 here this night. All songs are killer! The keyboardist, Tuomas writes everything, and to see him headband just as hard as floor is awesome!
Awesome first time reaction. Floor's vocals are just out of this world. When you go through her catalog of performances, it just intensifies. Honestly though, I am led to believe she has the best female voice on earth, as Floor sings spot on perfect pitch LIVE. This you don't find anyone can do throughout so many years, she's never once sang off pitch in the slightest. Anyway, lobe that you're a Home Schooling Mama. Especially in today's education strange curriculum being taught. Thanks again for the reaction. Look forward to more.
Thanks! I appreciate that! Yeah I'm not cool with the bs they're trying to push on kids today. Our kids have never been to public school and never will be!
Amy Lee and Evenescence are AMAZING but seriously, they are nowhere near Nightwish in any case.. Really..
Nice reaction. There’s lots more! Looking forward to taking the NW journey w you! Subscribed. NWA Philly.
Thanks for the sub! 😁
Always here for Nightwish! Great reaction!!! Check out Ghost River for more of Marco and Floor. Awesome!
Thank you! Will do!😁
Yayyyyy more Nightwish!!!! "I think it's time for a little story....." Yep, time to do the song "Storytime" from this same live Wacken 2013 show!!!!
I will be doing that one after EVERYONE has requested it next 😁🙌
Floor is not rotating her head but is doing a half turn and is supporting/steadying with her hands on her upper legs.
That's a much better way to do it than how I did in my teens. 😅
I was first introduced to Nightwish when I went to their 2015 Wembley Arena concert. That is also here on RUclips and is recorded just as well as Wacken. I suppose some bands just make it easy for the engineers. -and just FYI - I'm 74, and hooked.
I'm only 2 songs in and I'm already hooked! They're unreal! I wonder if my husband's dad would like this... he's 74 as well! 😁
@@MrsRealistic Well, i can tell YOu, that my Mom, aged 74 at her death 2008, was an Classical Music Lover. I introduced her 1997 to NW, and she loved many of Their Songs, an none was an no go for Her:) Had to Tape and later burn the Tunes on Cd for Her.
such a versatile singer she is and she has such beautiful voice and for this kind of music and markco bass tone working together with jukkas drum rapid drum beat makes that sound like a pnuematic jackhammer that road workers might use almost sounds like a blacksmith hammer when it strikes the anvil and the awesome locked in with one another harmonizing that floor and markco were doing towards the end that really spectacular dissonance such high pitch sounded really good adds the really cool light show experience they can do
What a think is a best "recent" performance from Floor and the band. "Noise" and "Tribal". From Masters of Rock 2022. Floor is at 110% here. ruclips.net/video/BpIcbPuxAfI/видео.html
Thanks for the heads up! 😁🙏
Great reaction! I’m from Massachusetts and doing my best to spread some Nightwish awareness, but you’re right about how little known they are around here. Keep reacting, the NW Army will support you!
This song is Like a Coffee with Red Bull .... On Steroids 🤘❤🔥🤘.
The “scream” at the end is called a glissando, going from low to high and back, for classically trained singers this is an exercise to warm up the vocal cords, so Floor will do this probably every day before breakfast .
AND,...Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bull whip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she IS Dutch 😁.
SO, Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia will accompany you on your NW Journey (New subscriber here).
Haha! Dutch... Windmill...😂 Perfect! 🙌👌
You I just gonna love this Nightwish journey, there's just no-one like them, from Symphonic Metal to Power Metal to Folk Metal, straight Folk, a full Symphonic CD, the most beautiful ballads, dabblings with jazz, full operatic vocals to growls, the most intelligent and deep lyrics dealing with such diverse topics as personal anguish and pain to Internet trolls, to religion, to our enslavement by technology, to the birth of the universe and the coming of life. All of this is brought to us by the incredible compositions othe Metal Mozart, keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen - can't wait for your next reaction 🤘🤘🤘
P.S. your haven't even met 6th member Troy Donockley yet, who sings, plays guitar, mandolin, bazooka, various whistles and in particular the amazing Uilleann pipes, which is the Irish bagpipe

Hello Mrs. Realistic
Thank you for this great reaction to this partial excerpt from a legendary concert.
There is much more waiting for you to hear and see. And that brings me to two of Nightwish's masterpieces that you'll get to sooner or later.
“The Greatest Show on Earth” and “The Poet and the Pendulum.”
There are two versions of "TGSoE", the one from London and the one from Tampere. They are different in the first part of the work, which one you choose is entirely up to you.
But these works have one thing in common: you should definitely have the lyrics displayed. In both works, parts of the lyrics are very quiet and are covered by the music, making them difficult to understand. This is particularly true of the lyric parts in "TGSoE", which are recorded by Richard Dawkins.
The second important thing is: Before you deal with "The Poet an the Pendulum", you should first familiarize yourself with the background of this work. It would be very important to know this in order to correctly understand and classify the musical work.
And please show the lyrics here too, as some of them are very quiet.
By the way, two things should be said:
Floor is married to Sabaton's drummer, Hannes van Dahl. This opens the window to Sabaton. “No bullets fly” deserves a lot of mention here.
The second would be Epica feat. Floor Jansen with "Sancta Terra", which opens another window, the one to Epica.
Here “Consign to Oblivion” and “Beyond the matrix” would be your choices.
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal
greetings from Germany
The lady
There's a "Jacked" music industry depending itself and the world (Read US) to competition and money. One of the reasons Nightwish is not well known in the states. When North Americans hear Nightwish they grab to comparisons they have in their own systems not knowing anything else. That's why the army doesn't like references on artists like Amy. Your introduction shows that you get this! Subscribed!
The music industry and record labels are in it for themselves, money, and not much else. They leave the artists with very little creative control and take their hard earned money. They push manufactured, canned music, and that's why I love independent artists who buck the system!
Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum - Live at Wembley 2015
Thank you!
Welcome to the ride. Many have been hooked for life. Dont worry about the usual "Evanescence drama". They are really not that far off when looking symphonic metal from the "outside". Its like comparing Adele to Lady Gaga or Elvis to Little Richard - different but kind of the same. Evanescence is maybe just more mainstream rock influenced and Nightwish is more classical music influenced. Its all good.
can you react to JUNGKOOK-STANDING NEXT TO YOU
Floor is the third vocalist of Nightwish. Tarja Turunen, the original vocalist, is a reference within Symphonic Metal. Still on this epic show, Wacken 2013, I recommend Ever Dream and Ghost River, where Floor duets with bassist Marco, who is a phenomenal vocalist too. PS - Marco and drummer Jukka are no longer in the band. Jukka left the band shortly after this 2013 show because of chronic insomnia, which made him unable to play and Marco left about 3 years ago due to a personal decision.
Thanks for that info! I've gotten some great back stories from the Nightwish Army! 🙏
you still have a long way to go, both, Nightwish, and her previous bands, After Forever, Revamp, her performance in the Best Singers 2019 and her solo performances. SO, you're still busy for a while. And what is exceptional, you don't get tired of it because her repertoire is so varied.🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
Yes, I've got long lists for quite a few artists😅 I've got enough material to keep me busy for years 😂
Hello lovely girl
" tears in to my eyes"
That was a FLOORGASM❤
are you ready for more of this?? Stay with us in this journey call NIGHTWISH an army be whit you all the way, so just enjoy the RIDE...
CHEERS AND LOVE FROM NIGHTWISH ARMY COSTA RICA DIVISIÓN 🤘💀🇨🇷
Hello, thank you for a very nice reaction to my favourite band.1st. i listened to Floor at the Dutch televionshow "beste zangers) Floor was singing the phantom of the opera with Henk Poort ,AMAZING!!! I hope you will react to that one sometime. Than i tried Nightwish with Floor. It really was a "WTF" is happening to me moment!! I had tears in my eyes i had goosebumps, known as a Floorgasm 😂😂! Nightwish and Floor Jansen coming together, it had to happen ! I can say that this amazing group of people gave me back music. many years ago i stopped listening to radiostations playing what i call " the quick moneymakers" every hour on the hour.i got sick of it! Still not listening to radiostations. Their is so much to discover for you! We are going to follow your journey down this amazing rabbit hole, i subscribed, see at the next one, bye!!
Yup, canned, manufactured music on the radio... yuck!
UK Army popping in for a little Romanicide.. The live shows are mind-blowing
I've seen more than 300 live concerts in my life, all genres. And 3 of my top 5 live acts are Metal (Symphonic & Power). In order: NIGHTWISH, Epica and Blind Guardian. Hope you will react to Epica ❤ (for ex. "Code of live" or feat Apocalyptica "Rivers" live AFAS) and BG 🎉 ("The Bard's Song and Valhalla" Wacken live), too. The most insane live performance is Rammstein. You will never forget 😱😜 ("Du hast" Paris live) and last but not least U2.🤩 Never saw Freddie Mercury and Ronnie James Dio. They would have been Top 3 immediately 😂
Well, this was a bit too heavy for my taste (sorry I am not a metal fan), BUT.... you should listen to the Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish. Read the story first before reacting to it. That is their masterpiece. Why? Because all the stylistic elements are necessary for the storytelling (including the harsh vocals). It is not harsh because Nightwish needs to produce harsh music. As for Floor, she is a beautiful woman inside and out (not my type, but whatever). It did not come easy for her though. She was born an HSP (which is a problem) severely bullied at school, got damaged by that, she compensated with perfectionism. Did Rock academy and some music university and lots of musical theatre influence (her teacher taught her years of musical theatre, so that is where the stage presence comes from). Her father compared her efforts with top sport, she practiced a lot and left a lot out of her life to accomplish perfection in singing. She has absolute hearing and being perfectionist, is hard to work with, but she is soft, patient and in real life very modest. She creates a "family like" atmosphere around her which makes it a very pleasant woman to work with (despite perfectionism and absolute hearing). She emphasizes her solo career now, as Nightwish is a bit dormant right now. She released her own pop album, mostly written by her, because she never done pop before "My Paragon". Very good album. She has two daughters, is happily married to the drummer of Sabaton and lives in Sweden (near Göteborg) deep in the forest.
HSP Being a "highly sensitive person"? "Heightened awareness of stimuli around you,"? That would be a hard work around if you are in a metal band, or it might actually help depending on how it affects you. Thanks for the info!
Looking forward to enjoying the Nightwish journey with you. Great reaction. 👍
Thank you!! 😁
Every song on their setlist for this concert is a banger in my eyes
