Here's the thing about Nightwish man. You kinda touched on it at the end there a little bit, but let me help you flesh that out some. They may not be your favorite band (by "you" I mean everybody in general collectively) and they don't need to be. They might not be your favorite sound, and they don't need to be. But they are Home. They are where you go for Feels. They are where you go when everyone else let you down. They are Family. You go a week or two without any Nightwish, listening to everything else but them, and your first song back with them again will have you in tears without fail each time. They don't need to be the best, or even your favorite. They are the most important.
"I don't think I've ever listened to a band that has elicited an emotional response like this out of me". THIS THIS THIS. That's the essence of this band and source of their unfathomable magic. You know, I'm pretty much dead inside, but Nightwish brings out emotions in me I didn't even know I possessed. Damn you, Holopainen! The only other bands that do that to me to some degree are Rammstein and Wintersun.
This song is so fun and joyous. I love that Floor doesn't care about looking cool and just goes for it. She is totally in the moment. I love it when she says, "Argentina, show us your moves!" It warms my heart.
Nightwish has a black belt in hitting you right in the feels. I've never encountered another band that does that to me with such regularity. If you want Tarja do Phantom of the Opera, she and Marco kill it.
Nightwish does that. You get goose pumps, chills. You feel it, you’ll get emotional and ... YOU WANT MORE. Well lucky us, they have a massive amount of epic songs 🤘🤩
For old school Tarja I recommend Wishmaster from the "End of an era" concert. Other personal favourites from the old ones are: I Wish I had an Angel Nemo Over The Hills and Far Away
Over The Hills And Far Away is one of my absolute FAVORITE Nightwish songs. I know its a cover and not an original, but it always brings a big smile to my face when I hear it :)
Gosh do I love Floor. I think she's my favourite famous person. She worked super hard to get as good as she is, she's super humble in all her interviews...she's just amazing all around and a great role model for ANY entertainer.
I never get tiered of seeing people fall in love with Nightwish. The craziest thing is the newest album they just came out with is a masterpiece from cover to cover.
This song is legit a party song. It makes my heart so happy! As for old school Nightwish with Tarja, anything from The End Of An Era performance (which literally was Tarja’s last performance with Nightwish and had no idea it would be until after the show).
You're right. Marco gets better and better. Not only he, but EVERY band member. They grow together and their performances are becoming more and more pure perfection. Watching them all having greatest fun with their audience makes me happy to tears. And your comments and reactions are wonderful. I'm so much looking forward to your next Nightwish video.
I saw them front row on this tour. When they did this song, there was a little girl 5 or so. She was dancing like crazy. Floor acknowledged the girl after the song. I love this band.
Can't wait for this one! Floor was kinda sick during this tour so she wasn't at her 100%, unbelievable, right!? One of my favorite NW performances, it has the power to lighten up any bad day, this is the happiest I've seen her! Can I brag a little about being there in that screaming and dancing crowd? I've been a fan for 15 years, being part of this was epic ♥
I would never have been able to tell Floor wasn't at 100%. Unreal! That crowd is unreal. You'll hear me comment "there are band's that don't get that kind of crowd even while they're playing" when they're dancing and chanting at the beginning.
Crowds in South America, are the friggin best, every live performance I see in S. America, 400 million people who all know the words, sing along to instrumentals, and gives everything they have from start to finish...Hope 2021 comes with a vaccine and a ton of shows to go to!
She got flu but still gave the best performance to satisfy the fans Dancing on the high heels in that suit? Still can't believe she did it What the hell epic 😍😍😍
When they performed this song in Wacken in 2013, during the instrumental part, Emppu passes behind Floor and shuts off her in-ear monitor. You can see her give him the eye as she turns it back on and when he passes her again, she does a 360 so she doesn't expose her back to him again xD
Nightwish released the official Phantom of the Opera after the unofficial hit 70 million views,might be a good place to start with Tarja. Killer sound🤘💜🤘
Nightwish is Emotion. Period. Beautiful, intense, dreamy, majestic, Epic, its enough, it doesnt need to bei brutal, too. It Just hits different, but No less heavier. My two most favourite Metalbands are Nightwish and Slayer. Same intensity. Just in a whole different way.
I've said this a few times, but it's worth saying again, this band illicits a rare emotion for most music nowadays:joy. They can be very dark, and in the case of songs like "master passion greed" they can actually be quite brutal. But they are most definitely the most "musical, and musically fearless" band out there right now. I'm an old school punk and former touring metal musician and these guys are, in my opinion, the most musically complete band on the planet.
This song has one of my favorite lines ever. "Where is the wonder? Where's the awe? Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for? Before the years take me, I wish to see the lost in me."
first time in my life i actually waited for a reaction... not really because of the song choice, but the great reaction you do! love to hear somone so passionate and technical describe music... thank you
Here again got stuck to Nightwish for two hours. You can keep Nightwish wesnesday going over a year they have so much excelent songs. As I know one reactor reacting record to Nightwish songs is 54 reactions and still counting... So long and enjoyable way ahead 😊
Ok, Tarja recommendations then: the most obvious, which you'll get suggested to no end for sure, is Phantom of the Opera from End of an Era. And by all means, it's a bloody fantastic Tarja-Marco must listen. One you might not hear as much but that i think deserves a lot more than it perhaps gets is "Beauty and the Beast" from Wishes to Eternity live in Tampere, with Tony from Sonata Arctica singing as Beast. If you want to react to a less common one, that's what you should go for. Then there is "The Pharaoh sails to Orion", again from Wishes to Eternity in Tampere, which is a beautiful one. I'll also recommend "Planet Hell" from End of an Era, which is very powerful too and deserves a reaction.
In my mind, the three quintessential Tarja-era essentials are Nemo, Ever Dream, and Wishmaster. All three are absolutely fantastic and showcase the classic Nightwish sound that got them recognized and skyrocketed them to popularity. So glad that you did the Buenos Aires version of I Want My Tears Back - it's my favorite because of the energy that both the crowd and the band put into it. As always, awesome reaction!
Nightwish Wednesday! There's a clear reference to Alice in Wonderland in this song. Bummed you didn't choose Weak Fantasy because everyone went berserk there, including Troy. Next time then 😁
I don't know how anyone can say they don't like Nightwish after they have actually listened to their music, been listening to them for nearly 20 years and sadly I've had to put down many who have tried to put them down, if you don't like it fine, but if you don't like it just because you think Symphonic Metal is blah blah blah, then I don't have any time for that. Great reaction, having said I have listened to them for nearly 20 years they still manage to get me emotional and give me goosebumps to this day, that's special. As for a song with Tarja, I recommend Wishmaster, Walking In The Air, or Phantom of the Opera, in that order of preference. Great to see the passion you have for music 👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟🤟
One of my favorite things about Nightwish is the whimsy and the wistfulness that can seep into their songs. Their lyrics are about a million different things, no set genres: childhood, unrequited love, sorrow, bitterness, just all over the place. Love them!
If you are having Floorgasms you'll love Epica - Consign to Oblivion, Essence of Silence and Sancta Terra Live performances are absolutely FIRE! This band is like a marriage of Nightwish, Wintersun and Children of Bodom, but can be best described with one word... Epic...
Propably number of people have told you this before but before watching The Poet And The Pendulum research the background of the song. Hits your feels tenfold when you know what it is about.
If you want to hear old school Nightwish with Tarja a lot of people will recommend their cover of Phantom of the Opera, which I will second that, but I'd also recommend The Siren - live End of an Era performance. Not enough people request that song and I think it's one of their best performances.
This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs so I'm looking forward to this reaction. I love the Celtic folk sound and of course I love to see Floor dance. 😁
I remember watching a Nightwish show (Wembley I think) and seeing a shot with people in the crowd holding a sign "We love Troy's massive pipe". Probably the funniest sign I've seen in my life. Well, we certainly do love Troy and we do love this song. And this version is special because South American crowds are the best! They adore symphonic metal and bands like Nightwish and Epica always love doing the shows there.
I highly recommend "Slaying the dreamer" live at their End of an Era concert back in 2005. Marko is really showing his full vocal potential in that song, an amazing performance. I believe it was their last concert with Tarja as their singer, hence the name "end of an era". I would also recommend "Phantom of the opera" and "High hopes" (also performed at the same concert), though all of the songs they played during that concert are awesome according to me haha. Btw really appreciate seeing youtubers who loves Nightwish and become passionate about this amazing band!
That friend of yours doesn't understand someone can like more than one type of music.His loss, you ate missing out on tons of amazing experiences by limiting yourself that way.
Lmao. In the beginning when the crowd is oh lay oh laying, I loved that the drummer started with them. But go back and watch when Floor does her little jiggle, look over her left shoulder. Check out Emppu getting down. 😆
I saw Nightwish at a packed Marathon Music Works in Nashville, and Floor was tossing out water bottles into the crowd to share. They treat their fans really well.
Every time I hear Bagpipes or the Flute being played in their music, I'm amazed how it sounds like it simply belongs! The same is true for Violins and other instruments, more bands need to add this sound into their music. I just love the complexity and intricacy of it all. Just like Metallica's S&M which is an incredible album and live performance.
Have a close look to see Empuu pranking Floor onstage. At about 45 secs you can see Empuu talking to Troy telling him what he is going to do. At about 4:00 you see Empuu go behind Floor and turn down the volume or turn off her in-ear monitor. Then she reaches behind her. The funniest part is at about 4:30 when Empuu crosses the stage again. Floor turns around to watch him so he can’t do it again. Here you see the height difference between Floor’s 6’1” in heels and Empuu’s 5’3”. They laugh at each other. If you than have a look at Ghostriver from Wacken you’ll see Emppu passing Floor with his hands up and waving: See, I am doing nothing ;-)
Yes, this "turn down/off in-ear monitor" thing seems to happen mostly during "I Want My Beer Back"... Sorry, that should be "I Want My Tears Back" (Jeez, how could I get it so wrong...). Normally, the only time Floor turns her back towards the crowd is when she walks off the stage, like at the intermission in "Ghost Love Score". But when Emppu has done some kind of prank on Floor she doesn't want to turn her back towards him and you see Floor doing some kind of "dance" to avoid being pranked again. Tank - You may have seen it somewhere else that Floor from time to time takes revenge on Emppu, like pouring out the beer from Emppu's Corona bottle and fill it up with apple juice. Emppu hates apple juice. Cheers / B.
I noticed the height difference, but I can’t believe I missed him messing with her pack! Keep the comments like this coming! I love little bits of info like this!
WOO HOOO!!!!! Gettin’ Troy into the action 😁 Such a FUN song and while I love the Waken version, that crowd in Buenos Aires was on FIRE 😎 Have a great night and I’ll catch this on tomorrow’s lunch break 🤘
To echo some other comments, I would highly recommend "Phantom of the Opera," "Wishmaster," and "Planet Hell." (all from the End of an Era concert) Tears and goosebumps are a sure sign that you have become a member of the Nightwish Army. Side effects may include a burning desire to continue listening. (No dues required, membership does not expire)
The only thing I hate about your Nightwish Wednesday’s is that I have to wait a damn week to hear your next Nightwish reaction. 😄 You haven’t even scratched the surface of how awesome this band is. Especially with Floor. And I say that with the highest respect to Tarja and Annette.
May I recommend The Pharaoh Sails to Orion from the From Wishes to Eternity DVD? Don't see many people reacting to that one. The DVD was recorded in 2000 and it's still one of my favourite concert recordings to this day. The song is from the album Oceanborn and it's awesome, classic Nightwish! Also features Tapio Wilska doing some growls. Anyway, good job on these reactions, they're a lot of fun to watch! 👊
Tank, before you dive into the early history, could you react to While Your Lips Are Still Red from the Wembley concert. Marko takes the lead and it is Troy who plays the E-bow and Floor is the backup on this.
There are no bands that can hold a candle to these guys. What you have described is what makes them so great. Their music does all the things you have described. I have only been listening to them for about 8 months but I am their greatest fan along with what seems like millions of others. I tear up all the time because of the love of the band members and the adoration of their audience and the interaction between them. The music is unmatched in my entire lifetime.
Ohhh if you're gonna dive into the history of Nightwish, I sure hope you react to their song The siren. I've always loved that one & wish more ppl did reactions to it. :) As always, you were a joy to watch, Tank.
The one old NW song I'd love you to check is "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion". That one is amongst my top 5 of theirs ! Oh and mandatory "fingers crossed for Skalmold live with the orchestra".
For old Nightwish with Tarja you should go with "Wishmaster" live - from wishes to eternity! That has been the first song of them I heard! Of course you have to react to "the phantom of the opera" sometime. It's a classic and one of my all time favourites. If you like to see a ballad, do "walking in the air".
Tarja era, Phanton of the Opera is a must!! Planet Hell, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Wish I had an angel, Wishmaster, Over the Hills and Far away, all from the End of an Era concert, just take your pick, they are all amazing songs! This concert was like the equivalent of the Tarja era to Floor era Wacken 2013 imo, both amazing concerts where you can't go wrong with any of the songs, and is also famous cause it was the last show before Tarja got fired, she received a letter firing her from the band after this show. The band had no idea if they would ever get back on a stage after this, and you can clearly see it on Tuomas face and reactions on this show, specially on the closing song, I wish I had an angel.
If you want to start exploring the back catalog, these would be my recommendations. Oceanborn: "Stargazers". "Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean" Wishmaster: "She is My Sin." Dead Boy's Poem" Century Child: "Phantom of the Opera" Once: "Dark Chest of Wonders". "Wish I had an Angel". "Nemo" Floor has covered all of these over 7 years. This is old school Nightwish and Tarja Turunen absolutely kills it. You can really appreciate the bands creative journey from then to now. It is so refreshing to experience your passion at the beginning of your Nightwish journey. Reminds me when I got started. Take care.
You want Troy? Last of the Wilds (Wacken 2013). It's an instrumental. For Tarja: Swanheart (From Wishes to Eternity DVD). It's pure Tarja magic at best. It also gives a very good idea about what made Nightwish so special right from the start. Nobody ever reacts to this song, which is a total shame. Plus this is truly old, Marko isn't even in the band yet. Other essential Tarja songs are Sleeping Sun, The Siren, Wishmaster. And the Phantom of the Opera, obviously.

This!
That one just makes me damp behind the knees!!! And kind of breathless. The eye lashes have a tendency to flutter.What could it be?
Oh man. Maybe I lied about old Nightwish and we’ll do that one next week.

@@TankTheTech SSSSQQQQUUUUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Here's the thing about Nightwish man. You kinda touched on it at the end there a little bit, but let me help you flesh that out some.
They may not be your favorite band (by "you" I mean everybody in general collectively) and they don't need to be. They might not be your favorite sound, and they don't need to be.
But they are Home. They are where you go for Feels. They are where you go when everyone else let you down. They are Family. You go a week or two without any Nightwish, listening to everything else but them, and your first song back with them again will have you in tears without fail each time.
They don't need to be the best, or even your favorite. They are the most important.
That was PERFECTLY put. Well done, man!
OMG you said it BEST!!!!!!! I never thought of this it's absolutely correct! Thank you!!!!
DAMN!! Hit me like a Ten Ton Heavy Thing!!!
Well put
derrickparran Good Queensryche reference!
Floor's good cheer and energy in the folky jumpy parts is so so infectious. She has such incredible stage presence and charisma.
"I don't think I've ever listened to a band that has elicited an emotional response like this out of me". THIS THIS THIS. That's the essence of this band and source of their unfathomable magic. You know, I'm pretty much dead inside, but Nightwish brings out emotions in me I didn't even know I possessed. Damn you, Holopainen!

”The Islander” from Tampere is a great Marko voiced song!
This is an absolute MUST see.
Yes, but " While your lips are still red" is probably the greatest!
Johan Arnfinn Løvold I’ve been listening to that over and over as well. It’s pretty dang wonderful.
Yep! :)
That song is just amazing 😍
Nightwish has a black belt in hitting you right in the feels. I've never encountered another band that does that to me with such regularity. If you want Tarja do Phantom of the Opera, she and Marco kill it.
Nightwish does that. You get goose pumps, chills. You feel it, you’ll get emotional and ...
YOU WANT MORE.
Well lucky us, they have a massive amount of epic songs 🤘🤩
I just rewatched this and I've got to say. Floor's dancing, Emppu smiling and this crowd is just everything
She is not only a voice goddess, she is also a dancing queen.
Tuomas directs the music, Floor directs the crowd.
Tears?
Goosebumps?
Er...I don't know how to tell you this but - in my professional opinion - you're a fully-fledged Nightwish Fan! 🔥🎆🎉🍾🤘
For old school Tarja I recommend Wishmaster from the "End of an era" concert.
Other personal favourites from the old ones are:
I Wish I had an Angel
Nemo
Over The Hills and Far Away
Wishmaster is a masterpiece
Over The Hills And Far Away is one of my absolute FAVORITE Nightwish songs. I know its a cover and not an original, but it always brings a big smile to my face when I hear it :)
Pharaoh sails to Orion and Walking in the Air
Wanderlust, Stargazers, Sacrament of Wilderness
Goosebumps = Floorgasm!
My fave old Nightwish songs
beauty of the beast
Dead boys poem
Creek Mary’s blood
Fantasmic
Gosh do I love Floor. I think she's my favourite famous person. She worked super hard to get as good as she is, she's super humble in all her interviews...she's just amazing all around and a great role model for ANY entertainer.
You can tell Floor is having the time of her life!
I never get tiered of seeing people fall in love with Nightwish. The craziest thing is the newest album they just came out with is a masterpiece from cover to cover.
I love the wild FLOOR on Stage..
Tarja singing Slaying the Dreamer - end of an ear concert is amazing!
I live in Argentina.... so proud of my people... Love Nightwish ...
I nit was there... but that was Incredible...
This song is legit a party song. It makes my heart so happy!
As for old school Nightwish with Tarja, anything from The End Of An Era performance (which literally was Tarja’s last performance with Nightwish and had no idea it would be until after the show).
Floor is Controlling the Crowdsourcing,and the Band work togenther like a Perfeckt Machine.
You're right. Marco gets better and better. Not only he, but EVERY band member. They grow together and their performances are becoming more and more pure perfection. Watching them all having greatest fun with their audience makes me happy to tears. And your comments and reactions are wonderful. I'm so much looking forward to your next Nightwish video.
Releasing another tomorrow! I honestly cannot wait to see this band live.
WISHMASTER!!!!!!!!! you will not regret it! EPIC song with Tarja!

"Wishmaster" would be a perfect old Nightwish song with Tarja! From end of an era concert.
That’s what I keep hearing!

Impossible to sit still during this one. And they done it again! Made a grown man cry! And they will keep surprising you. Trust me!
Tarja-era: Dark chest of wonders! Love this song so much!
Phantom of the opera!!!!... blow your mind!!! 🤩

+1 for "The Pharaoh Sails To Orion" live. Quintessential Nightwish for that period, and Tarja absolutely crushed it.
Yes Planet Hell!!
The issue I have with the Phantom of the Opera is that it is not a Nightwish song. It is an Andrew Lloyd Webber song.
+1 for Pharoah!
if you ask me i would say what Nightwish have Achieved is a ''Perfect'' balance of Talent,Emotion and music i love all their songs, They ROCK.

yes he would love Epica ---
Propably number of people have told you this before but before watching The Poet And The Pendulum research the background of the song. Hits your feels tenfold when you know what it is about.

I think The Siren is one of the best Nightwish songs of all-time. It is so magical! I hope he reacts to it eventually.
Yes, The Siren!!!

I would also recommend "Phantom of the opera" and "High hopes" (also performed at the same concert), though all of the songs they played during that concert are awesome according to me haha. Btw really appreciate seeing youtubers who loves Nightwish and become passionate about this amazing band!
I agree to this one, but only if you also do a reaction to Floor's version of that song. I still haven't decided which one I like better.
I like your little TANK NOTES
That friend of yours doesn't understand someone can like more than one type of music.His loss, you ate missing out on tons of amazing experiences by limiting yourself that way.
yes, it's like eating the same meal every day.. brrr
EXACTLY. And admittedly, when I was younger, I was like that. But as I got older I opened up and have discovered so much awesome music.
@@TankTheTech growing is knowing, as much as knowing is growing...
(Hope it makes sense: I'm not an English speaker...😅)
Lmao. In the beginning when the crowd is oh lay oh laying, I loved that the drummer started with them. But go back and watch when Floor does her little jiggle, look over her left shoulder. Check out Emppu getting down. 😆
Such amazing energy shared at that show... awesome... love all of the details you share Tank, great stuff on Marko's bass.
I'm glad that you're open minded and able to appreciate music even if it's not brootal. F*** any haters
Phantom of the opera. Tarja and marko are unreal in this song.
I saw Nightwish at a packed Marathon Music Works in Nashville, and Floor was tossing out water bottles into the crowd to share. They treat their fans really well.
It blows my mind that Nightwish plays HUGE venues all over the world, and then medium sized clubs in the states. Blows my mind.
Also, on the Marco front, their "Phantom of the Opera" is the most absolute BEST EVER!
Nightwish "Rules"! Oh yeah!! :-) Adore your reactions and now look forward to Wednesdays!
Every time I hear Bagpipes or the Flute being played in their music, I'm amazed how it sounds like it simply belongs! The same is true for Violins and other instruments, more bands need to add this sound into their music. I just love the complexity and intricacy of it all. Just like Metallica's S&M which is an incredible album and live performance.
Finland luuuuvs the Tank
The happiness in Tank's face... 😂😂
Have a close look to see Empuu pranking Floor onstage. At about 45 secs you can see Empuu talking to Troy telling him what he is going to do. At about 4:00 you see Empuu go behind Floor and turn down the volume or turn off her in-ear monitor. Then she reaches behind her. The funniest part is at about 4:30 when Empuu crosses the stage again. Floor turns around to watch him so he can’t do it again. Here you see the height difference between Floor’s 6’1” in heels and Empuu’s 5’3”. They laugh at each other.
If you than have a look at Ghostriver from Wacken you’ll see Emppu passing Floor with his hands up and waving: See, I am doing nothing ;-)
Yes, this "turn down/off in-ear monitor" thing seems to happen mostly during "I Want My Beer Back"...
Sorry, that should be "I Want My Tears Back" (Jeez, how could I get it so wrong...). Normally, the only time Floor turns her back towards the crowd is when she walks off the stage, like at the intermission in "Ghost Love Score". But when Emppu has done some kind of prank on Floor she doesn't want to turn her back towards him and you see Floor doing some kind of "dance" to avoid being pranked again.
Tank - You may have seen it somewhere else that Floor from time to time takes revenge on Emppu, like pouring out the beer from Emppu's Corona bottle and fill it up with apple juice. Emppu hates apple juice.
Cheers / B.
I noticed the height difference, but I can’t believe I missed him messing with her pack! Keep the comments like this coming! I love little bits of info like this!
TankTheTech Just watch it again 😉
And remember it when you get to „Ghostriver“ from Wacken
@@TankTheTech Well, it is easier to see if you react to the Wacken version, where it happened ^^
That happened during the Wacken show, right? Not this one in Buenos Aires?
I fall deeper in love with Nightwish (with Floor) with every song I listen to... so you're not the only 1 my friend!!!
WOO HOOO!!!!! Gettin’ Troy into the action 😁 Such a FUN song and while I love the Waken version, that crowd in Buenos Aires was on FIRE 😎 Have a great night and I’ll catch this on tomorrow’s lunch break 🤘
Tank, its Tuomas and Floor. They reach into your heart and pluck the soul chords and help you find your own inner song.
To echo some other comments, I would highly recommend "Phantom of the Opera," "Wishmaster," and "Planet Hell." (all from the End of an Era concert)
Tears and goosebumps are a sure sign that you have become a member of the Nightwish Army. Side effects may include a burning desire to continue listening. (No dues required, membership does not expire)
Old school Nightwish is what got me into Nightwish. So I’m looking forward to that for sure. I love the whole thing.🤘
The only thing I hate about your Nightwish Wednesday’s is that I have to wait a damn week to hear your next Nightwish reaction. 😄 You haven’t even scratched the surface of how awesome this band is. Especially with Floor. And I say that with the highest respect to Tarja and Annette.
Two Nightwish days, same goes for Chase too :)
Another Nightwish anthem ......just awesome ....Hello from New Zealand
Awesome! We've reacted to this song, so now I get to watch yours too! :D
Seeing you react like that to Troy made me so happy, love seeing him jam out on the pipes.
May I recommend The Pharaoh Sails to Orion from the From Wishes to Eternity DVD? Don't see many people reacting to that one.
The DVD was recorded in 2000 and it's still one of my favourite concert recordings to this day. The song is from the album Oceanborn and it's awesome, classic Nightwish! Also features Tapio Wilska doing some growls.
Anyway, good job on these reactions, they're a lot of fun to watch! 👊
I am an Opera singer but I love NIGHTWISH!!!
Tank, before you dive into the early history, could you react to While Your Lips Are Still Red from the Wembley concert. Marko takes the lead and it is Troy who plays the E-bow and Floor is the backup on this.
There are no bands that can hold a candle to these guys. What you have described is what makes them so great. Their music does all the things you have described. I have only been listening to them for about 8 months but I am their greatest fan along with what seems like millions of others. I tear up all the time because of the love of the band members and the adoration of their audience and the interaction between them. The music is unmatched in my entire lifetime.
Ohhh if you're gonna dive into the history of Nightwish, I sure hope you react to their song The siren. I've always loved that one & wish more ppl did reactions to it. :) As always, you were a joy to watch, Tank.
I also just suggested The Siren. One of the best Tarja era songs and their End of an Era performance of it is great.
It's a joy to see their magic working on you.
Old school Tarja Nightwish song that doesn’t get enough love is The Siren. It also features Marko singing, so Bonus!
Yay!!! Excited for you to check out old Nightwish. End of an era is an amazing live show!!
The one old NW song I'd love you to check is "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion".
That one is amongst my top 5 of theirs !
Oh and mandatory "fingers crossed for Skalmold live with the orchestra".
This is definitely a party banger of a tune. Love it!
Please react to 'high hopes'(yes they covered Pink Floyd) and 'sleeping sun' both from 'end of an era'
The tripling of that melody melted into an otherworldly tone! Rocked my face off.
For old Nightwish with Tarja you should go with "Wishmaster" live - from wishes to eternity! That has been the first song of them I heard!
Of course you have to react to "the phantom of the opera" sometime. It's a classic and one of my all time favourites.
If you like to see a ballad, do "walking in the air".
Nightwish is THE greatest show on earth 😁 seriously, no band can match their level of passion.
Tarja era, Phanton of the Opera is a must!! Planet Hell, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Wish I had an angel, Wishmaster, Over the Hills and Far away, all from the End of an Era concert, just take your pick, they are all amazing songs!
This concert was like the equivalent of the Tarja era to Floor era Wacken 2013 imo, both amazing concerts where you can't go wrong with any of the songs, and is also famous cause it was the last show before Tarja got fired, she received a letter firing her from the band after this show. The band had no idea if they would ever get back on a stage after this, and you can clearly see it on Tuomas face and reactions on this show, specially on the closing song, I wish I had an angel.
Man, the drums in their shows always sound so damn good. In fact, every instrument does.
If you want to start exploring the back catalog, these would be my recommendations.
Oceanborn: "Stargazers". "Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean"
Wishmaster: "She is My Sin." Dead Boy's Poem"
Century Child: "Phantom of the Opera"
Once: "Dark Chest of Wonders". "Wish I had an Angel". "Nemo"
Floor has covered all of these over 7 years. This is old school Nightwish and Tarja Turunen absolutely kills it. You can really appreciate the bands creative journey from then to now.
It is so refreshing to experience your passion at the beginning of your Nightwish journey. Reminds me when I got started. Take care.
One of my favorite Nightwish songs is She Is My Sin.
You want Troy? Last of the Wilds (Wacken 2013). It's an instrumental.
For Tarja: Swanheart (From Wishes to Eternity DVD). It's pure Tarja magic at best. It also gives a very good idea about what made Nightwish so special right from the start. Nobody ever reacts to this song, which is a total shame. Plus this is truly old, Marko isn't even in the band yet. Other essential Tarja songs are Sleeping Sun, The Siren, Wishmaster. And the Phantom of the Opera, obviously.
