BRITISH GIRL REACTS TO NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) 

A Finnish band with Dutch singer, singing English at a German rock festival. 💕

ANYTHING from this concert is incredible, can't go wrong. Song of Myself, Romanticide, Storytime, Ghost River.....

Hello @ Yaz the Producer ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2013 at Wacken Open Air festival, in front of a 82k+ audience. It was a real pleasure for me to see your eyes becoming bigger and bigger with each minute :) And that's yet still more, much more for you to see.. 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-instrulmentalist 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 " Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like: "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zz_7OCCQlXs.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Xi4n8dJcF8.html​ "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pvkYwOJZONU.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lQu5QjidHWg.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S8E3L7ggLMM.html​ "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-05eitd-EA6I.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-knqeI807ZlY.html​ "Sleeping Sun"live at Tampere 2015 (ballad) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rsotlzr9wNw.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhEuAPYm_Ug.html​ "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wA44tjaP5n0.html​ "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TBOdgxjb0kM.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t26r_vAYQ0Q.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AN239Pbqbjo.html​ "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XvsfwAPbWXc.html​ And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Wembley 2015 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vyLsU7Q333k.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg You can also react to Floor Jansen's performances in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands), here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): ru-vid.com/group/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

To answer a couple of your questions. The guitarist is Emppu, one of the founding members (and a bit of a prankster). The band are from Finland, apart from the singer Floor, who is Dutch, and the sole Brit in the band, Troy (not on stage for this song) who plays the Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, bousouki, vocals, guitar and... well basically anything else he fancies.

The fact that Nightwish get so little airtime and are mostly unknown in the UK and USA is a crime against humanity, it really is. Nightwish is the biggest rabbit hole in music, the one you are staring down right now... go on jump in! There's about 120 studio songs and a whole bunch of concerts. Dont make the mistake of thinking thats all Nightwish does, because they go from everything between acoustic folk music through to celtic metal through to songs as heavy as anything Metallica came out with. A lot of Nightwish is more metal than GLS, so give them a try... Try Ever Dream from this concert, Wacken 2013. The composer Tuomas Holopainen... because thats what he is, the Metal Mozart is an absolute genius... you put him behind Floor Jansen who is simply the best, most versatile vocalist out there in metal... Marco the bassist and vocals, the voice of Finland... Jukka on drums here was amazing, sadly he no longer plays with the band because of health issues, but is still in management. They replaced Jukka with Kai from Wintersun, and he is just an absolute beast on those drums, if you ever watch a Wintersun video you will see. Emppu is the hobbit on lead guitar, full of pranks, doesnt shred too often but when he does...wow. They also added Troy Donockley from England, hes described as Mulit-instrumentalist, but you basically put anything in his hand and he can make music. Whistles, flutes, bagpipes, guitars, Ulleian pipes... just yes. everything. In short.... every song will have you saying wow for different reasons. Sometimes its the power of the metal, sometimes its how beautiful the song is, sometimes its the lyrics.... its always the music. Musically, finding this band is life changing, it really is.

Evanescence wishes they were this good NW is on a whole other level, many more songs from this concert many pretty heavy

The Lord looked down from the heavens and spoke these words to the Nightwish Army. I have blessed you on this day of 02/21/1981 ( Floor’s Birthday) an Angel of Metal and her name is Floor Jansen.

Floor Jansen, the best vocalist on the planet. She can wail, belt, sing pop, opera, and switch it note for note. She always gives me goosebumps. Actually she gives everyone goosebumps. It's called a Floorgasm. lol. You need to listen to Simone Simons from Epica.

Hi Yaz. Fellow Brit here... I would say that "the only way is up" now you have discovered Nightwish, but in truth, now that you have found the NW rabbit-hole - the only way is DOWN!! Lol. Take care gorgeous eyes

Floor Jansen, just your average 6’1” Valkyrie Dutch girl with the most versatile and powerful voice on the planet. Great smile. I do that a lot when I listen to Nightwish unless it’s a sad song then Floor’s emotional voice will put a tear in my eye. The Wacken 2013 concert has great audio and video. It you want something heavier then try Romanticide, Storytime or Ghost River to name a few. I visited your site for a little background info. While there I found a grammatical error. The plural of company is companies not company’s. Thought you would like to know. 😄😸

That woman is an absolute Queen on that stage. She's a fantastic singer, she's beautiful, and she's commanding. Wonderful stage presence and a voice like an angel.

Most bands have songwriters. Nightwish has a composer.

Whatever piece of this you like, they got it, for a full song. Tons of variety.

FYI: at this point in time Floor, the female lead singer, wasn't officially not even a member of Nightwish but was drafted in the middle of a US tour to replace their at the point current singer. She basically had 48 hours to fly from the Netherlands to the US AND learn the live set. By the tiime of this show at Wacken Open Air she was well and truly set in and when the tour ended they pretty much quickly announced she was now a fulltime member.

They are from my country 🇫🇮 and Floor is their third singer. NW been around since 1997. Welcome as a NW fan! 🤘

the band was on stage for over an hour when they got to this song .give you an idea of there skill lev and work they put in that they still have this much energy to give after an hour of rocking

Great reaction! Thanks for checking them out. I told you that if you reacted to them....THEY (The Nightwish Army) would come. ;) Usually, the next song on the docket is Romanticide, but you can't go wrong with any of Nightwish's songs. Remember to always go for the live ones. The Wacken concert was a masterpiece. I'm so excited for what you will experience with your journey of this amazing secret of a band. Enjoy! :)

You mentioned near the middle of the song that “she looks so happy”. Where do I begin? First off that was a good catch on your part. Floor had just joined the band in 2012 and before that she was already a huge Nightwish fan. NOW GET THIS - her favorite song is ghost love score and now she is singing her favorite song in front of 80,000 people in the band she LOVES! Now how cool is that?

You are definitely in for a ride with Nightwish! Storytime, Romanticide, Shudder Before The Beautiful and many more! She is the Queen! Great reaction!

Emppu Vuorinen is the guitarist, and he's always been with Nightwish, he's awesome :,3

The concert was live at Wacken festival in Germany with about 82000 visitors. I dare say, Nightwish are one of the best symphonic metal bands on this planet. The band origin is from Finland. The vocalist on stage is Floor Jansen from Netherlands. She joined the band after the previous female vocalist left the band. She first just jumped in as replacement, but is doing such a brilliant job, that she became a full member of the band. This concert was after her joining them fully. I love this band, and their music and concerts are of super high quality and epicness. Maybe you want to try "The greatest show on Earth" sometime. There is also a great live footage of that song in RU-vid. PS: The instrument is supposed to resemble a pipe organ, but I am quite sure it is stage design and the sound comes from the keyboad with high quality.

The band is Finnish with a Dutch singer.

Tuomas, the composer and keyboardplayer actually has Disney movie scores as his biggest inspiration. That is why their songs are built like this. Good call!

wow, fire red hair, British accent, cusses, loves Floor, instant subscribe

Thank you! Welcome to Nightwish!

Yeah those pipes are the coolest keyboardstand ever! (only props but they look awesome...) Great reaction - love your personality! Cheers from Sweden

This the 13th song in a 15 song set , so stamina is amazing , drummer also amazing . Best female singer ive ever heard

That smile just says it all how much you enjoyed this. Have been listening to Nightwish with all three singers. Absolutely love this amazing band. Dig the tatts and red hair too. 👍

Your personalty, humor, the swearing, the accent, the hair, the tats. Everything about you is awesome and you just fucking makes me smile :) Amazing reaction to this powerhouse of a band. Youre in for a ride with the Nightwish and the Jinjer armies if you keep it going. And i hope you do :) You should definately react to "Song of myself" by Nightwish next. "Romanticide" and "Storytime" is right up there aswell. They just dont produce any bad songs at all. Period, so there is enough to choose from going forward :) Cant wait for youre next reaction. Keep up the amazing work and keep being your awesome self :)

Hey, you should definitely check more on the wacken 2013 show nightwish, romantacide, story time, ever dream, ghost river,etc, then wembley 2015, shudder before the beautiful, yours is an empty hope, etc. wacken 2013, wembley 2015, Tampere, Finland 2015, bloodstock 2018, And beunos, Aires 2019, awesome awesome thanks 😊

She is like a siren, you keep listening to her.

The flaming bulls head is the symbol of the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany. What you were listening to is not a song but a journey. I think all your questions have been answered by the Nightwish Army already. But a very nice reaction and love your tats. I agree that Jinjer (from the Ukraine) is on your list and I would suggest Epica (from the Netherlands) featuring Floor Jansen (also Dutch) as guest singer. Also Floor Jansen with Henk Poort doing Phantom of the Opera in the Dutch show 'Beste Zangers'.

Welcome to magical world of Nightwish ! Really liked your way to do reaction video. Waiting more Nightwish to come :D , anything goes from next concerts: Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley 2015, Buenos Aires 2018.

Looks like the Nightwish Army just got another member. Welcome, Yaz!! You'll Never regret the NW Journey💖 you're about to embark on....

Glad to have found your reactions. I like your views and yes, you are a British girl. Love it. Nightwish will not disappoint. I prefer live performances more than the studio.

Great to finally see your reaction to such an amazing performance! Also you have the most enchanting eyes... I would be worried I may turn to stone if I even saw them in person! Much love from Yorkshire! Peace x

That shoulder tattoo is gorgeous

These people are perfectionists, they're so damned good at their trade. One good song to check out is 7 days to the wolves live @ Wembley 2015. Its brilliant. Also, try Storytime live @ Wacken 2013, the same concert. Very catchy!

This entire concert is an experience, and I can understand you perfectly well.

Thank you for reacting to Nightwish. You are a great addition to the Nightwish family. There are 5 800 reaction videos to Nightwish songs on YT for now. You can find all of them under the title "Masterlist Nightwish Reactions". Greetings from Helsinki Finland! Stay safe!

Welcome to Nighwish. You’re just beginning to understand the amazing sound and journey , there is so much more 👍

Wow....just left in aww...now only wishing I was their to be apart of that energy, captivated me instantly made me think of the greatest show on earth which is another fantastic theatrical show

I'm sure that you've gotten this before, but you look like metal Maisie Williams. Welcome to Nightwish!

Welcome to Nightwish, a symphonic metal band from Finland, the lead singer is Floor Jansen from the Netherlands.. This is in Wacken a smsll town in Nw Germany, Open Air festival with around 82000 people there. The logo from the bull is the logo of the festival. Nightwish has 9 studio albums out, and save to say no bad song yet! saw you did some Jinjer reactions, gonna check them out. And i subscribed, lovely reaction. 🤘 Thnx for this! 🖐 Sugestion...pick from this concert any song and u will be in for a treat! Yaz why does that name ring a bell? 🤔

NW are on their own level and they never disappoint. have fun discovering this amazing band.

Came here for the floorgasm, but really captivated by those beautiful eyes. Wow!

Poet and the pendulum is hands-down my favorite Nightwish song.

When Floor sings the last high note, it's oftenly refered as "Floorgasm" by the fans, as first timers are usually so shocked by it

The orchestral and choral interlude halfway this masterpiece is a brilliant idea of their composer and keybordist Tuomas. It's a kind of upbeat to the more resistant part 2 of this great song.and I love it.

Nice reaction :-), and its easy to understand you, and Im from Denmark. The band is from Finland (originally all members). Floor Jansen the singer is Dutch and the third singer in NW. Then there is a muliti instrumentalist Troy from England, he was not on stage here. The "pipe organ" is a decoration. Wacken is a good concert to react from, because of the sound quality, but NW have 3 more high quality concert recording in high quality and has been around for nearly 25 years, so a lot.......... of songs to cover :-). I can recommend Dark Chest of Wonders (opening track), Song of My Self for more heavy songs. Ghost River and Storytime for less heavy.

That keyboard screen is inspired by a monument to Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. They used to open some shows with his piece "Finlandia".

This band are truly amazing, they're Symphonic Metal but are incredibly diverse and play everything from Power Metal to Folk Metal to almost Thrash Metal, to Jazz and outright Folk songs - you have a great ride ahead and I'm subscribing to see it 🤘

Welcome to the world of Nightwish!

Welcome to the Army, Yaz....Nightwish Army

There Chimes. Tomas is totally brilliant the keyboard genius behind the NW style and compositions.

Great reaction! Always lovely to see someone’s first listen to Nightwish. You have so much to enjoy since you clearly loved this. 🕊❤️🤘

Nightwish does do a lot of cinematic theatrical styles, could possibly even have some of their music in some movies, I’m not sure on that.

Saw them live in Houston TX 2 or 3 years ago at a 500 seat venue.. was sold out in like 10 minutes. I’m 73 (old) and I have seen everyone from the Doors on up.. They were insanely talented and so unknown here in the states

FYI: the main composer of the band is keyboardplayer Tuomas and he has a deep love of Celtic music and film scores and with Nightwish he is combining these elements with metal.

You are going to get bombarded with info from the nightwish army...their loyal fans!!! I just admire the band and the goddess floor Jansen they make great music !!!react to nightwish again and You will be mesmerized every time....and no Auto tune just pure live music..great reaction and Stay real!!!

That "Nightwish, ay?" opening is great!

Those pipes around the keyboard are just props, they're for looks and they do look cool.

They have backing tracks recorded with the London Philharmonic full orchestra and choir.

the guitarist is part of the band. His name is Emppu Vourien

Nightwish Everdream from the same show....amazing

After 2 times hear this song u can realize how epic and good this stuff.

Hey, British girl here too. This is the song that made me fall in love with Floor and it's her favourite song to sing.

"Hey, Hey, Hey, Heey!" (+ some arm movement) = Proper crowd control on 82 000 people 🤟😎 Cheers from Finland, the Mother Land of Nightwish 😈

That strange instrument you were wondering about at the beginning is called a "stage prop." LOL, no seriously! He has a couple of Korg synthesizer keyboards behind there. The pipe organ decoration is modelled after a famous sculpture at the Sibelius Academy music conservatory in Helsinki.

Thanks for this one. Try "Storytime" or "Last Ride of the Day", same show... +1

I'm Dutch and I enjoyed listening to your comments. Don't worry - you don't need any subtitles :-) The singer - Floor - is Dutch; the band is Finnish and fantastic. The bass player is an incredible singer as well, by the way. This is all coming from a guy (me) whose former favorites were Chic and the Brothers Johnson ...

"It's like a symphony." And now you know why it's called symphonic metal! Nightwish is amazing, literally anything sung by Floor or Tarja is magic.

Yaz, thanks for introducing me to this band. I’ll have to check more from these guys. Love your reactions.

Good reaction for the only band in the world who has a valkyrie as a main singer.

Tuomas the keyboardist has a couple of fake fronts for his keyboards. I think they are mostly places to hide his wine which he drinks during the show. Floor has said that "Ghost Love Score" is her favorite NW song to sing. There are only two members of the band that are original members and that's Tuomas the keyboardist and composer of most of their music and Empuu the lead guitarist. Marco the bassist joined the band about three years in.

WELCOME TO THE NIGHTWISH ARMY. AND WELCOME TO THE PHENOMENON THAT IS THE GENRE OF SYMPHONIC METAL. This was the Wacken Open Air Festival Concert back in 2013, and there were over 82,000 people at this concert. Nightwish is a Symphonic Metal Band, and a majority of the band members are from Finland. The current Lead Singer is from the Netherlands, and the woodwinds player is from England. CURRENT BAND MEMBERS • Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards, piano, is the primary musical composer for all arrangements Is also who formed the band, and is the leader of the group. • Emppu Vuorinen - All guitars (been with the band since its inception) • Marco Hietala - bass, male vocals, acoustic guitar (is Nightwish Second Bass player, and has been with them since 2001.) • Troy Donockley - uilleann pipes, tin whistle, low whistle, guitars, bouzouki, bodhrán, backing vocals • Floor Jansen - lead vocals (Floor is Nightwish current and THIRD Lead Singer) • Kai Hahto - drums (NOT APART OF THE BAND YET WHEN THIS CONCERT WAS FILMED - Kai was hand picked by the groups original drummer Jukka Nevalainen to replace him when he had to stepped down for medical reasons listed below. Kai is a personal friend of Jukka’s) FORMER BAND MEMBERS SEEN IN THIS CONCERT AT THE WACKEN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL FROM THE YEAR 2013: • Jukka Nevalainen - drums ( original drummer from 1997-2014 and is who you see playing drums in this concert at the Wacken Open Air Festioval Show from 2013. He had to step down for severe medial reasons, and handpicked his replacement. Jukka nearly died from a period of 2 straight years of severe insomnia, and had to be hospitalized because of it. Even though he stepped down as drummer, according to Toumas, he is the Bands MANAGER now. That is awesome I think. So he is still very much a part of Nightwish.) Other Former Band Members NOT seen in this video: • Sami Vänskä - bass (1998-2001) • Tarja Turunen - vocals (Nightwish FIRST Singer for the first 10 years of Nightwish existence from 1996-2005) • Anette Olzon - vocals (Nightwish SECOND singer, from Sweden, from 2007-2012) SO WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC ACTUALLY IS NIGHTWISH???? Nightwish is actually one of the groups credited with the creation of the Metal Sub-genre of Symphonic Metal (according to Wikipedia!). Symphonic Metal in general only borrows the hard driving double kick drums, and the hard grungy style guitars and bass from Metal. However, in SYMPHONIC METAL the guitar is not the primary focal point, it is in fact the keyboards and their movie-scorish sounding orchestral sound. The keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen is the composer of all of the music arrangements and is the actual leader of the group. He is a personal huge lover of movie scores, which is where a lot of the movie-scorish style sound of the keyboards comes from (which is the primary focal point of Nightwish’s music instrumentally). When Symphonic Metal first started the female singers ALL used an operatic style of singing, but as the Genre has evolved over the last 20+ years since Nightwish came long when they released their FIRST album back in 1996, they have adopted more of a contemporary style of singing like Floor uses currently. Also 90-95% of all Symphonic Metal bands are all female fronted. Currently only Kamelot and a hand full of other Symphonic Metal bands even have male singers, and they are normally referred to as Symphonic Power Metal. The female fronted bands are the ones usually referred to over in Europe as ‘Symphonic Metal’. The most popular being Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, and Delain. Floor Jansen is the current Lead Singer who you see in this Concert and she is from the Netherlands. Keep in mind when Floor did this concert (Wacken Open Air in 2013), she had not been with Nightwish for very long, she was actually a FILL-IN for this particular tour. Nightwish was in the middle of the Imaginearum World Tour when they parted ways with their SECOND Lead Singer Anette Olzen (from Sweden), and Tuomas (pronounced as Too-oh-mas) called Floor and asked her if she could learn their entire set list in 48 hours and then fill-in for them for the rest of the tour. Within the NEXT THIRTY DAYS, the band posted their first Official Live Performance video since they fired their first lead singer Tarja Turunen at the end of November 2005. During Anette's entire tenure with the band, Nightwish did not post ONE single solitary live performance video on their official RU-vid channel. Hmmm? Curious? At the end of this Imaginearum World Tour (just a few months later!), around Christmas time (As Floor tells the story in an interview) the Band pulled both Floor Jansen and Troy Donokley aside and asked them to be official members of the band. Floor said both her and Troy both had tears in their eyes. Troy had been a guest musician with the band on such videos like The Islander, but never an official member of the band. The rest as they say ... is history. I would very much like to see you react to the following songs: 1. Romanticide - This is one kick ass song, and I would do it from this Wacken Open Air Festival in 2013. 2. Ever Dream - my absolute all-time favorite Nightwish song. The most high energy song they’ve ever done in my opinion. I would do this one from either this concert which is Wacken Open Air Festival in 2013, or the WEMBLEY ARENA CONCERT in Dec of 2015. 3. Nemo - (Nemo is from a Latin word which means no one or nobody. This song is about a time in Toumas life when he felt his direction in life was aimless, and without real direction. It’s an awesome song and a HUGE favorite of long time fans. This song was originally written during the Tarja Era). I would do this one from the WEMBLEY ARENA CONCERT in Dec of 2015. 4. Yours Is An Empty Hope - (Maybe do this one from the Tampere Finland Show from July of 2015. But be prepared because behind Marco (the Bass players) vocals on the chorus, is Floor GROWLING, yes you read it right. She can ACTUALLY really do everything!).

Hi, Yaz! Thank you for your reaction and welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal! Organ ;) But in this case it is for decoration -- behind it are three keyboards Tuomas is playing on. "This guy" is Emppu, Nightwish guitarist) Well, you just witnessed Her Majesty Northern Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen, she is Dutch). Floor has classical background, rock academy behind, and used to be a vocal coach for a number of years. Floor is the most versatile and powerful female singer today and can sing anything from more pop-y style, classic opera, to metal screams and growls. Floor is a queen of singing emotions. Floor joined Nightwish in the middle of their Imaginaerum world tour in late 2012 (which includes this show from August 2013). Previous singer, Anette Olzon (she's currently in Dark Element) left the band while they were touring, and there was no certainty what to do with all the upcoming shows. They called Floor (her previous band did tour with NW in the past, and they knew each other). Floor flew immediately to help them out and temporarily replace Anette for the rest of the world tour. She arrived two days before the next show, and she had only 48 hours to learn the entire setlist. And she did. There is official documentary about all that -- "PLEASE LEARN THE SETLIST IN 48 HOURS" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vhExkmWKMEU.html ) For Floor it was first really big gig with Nightwish, 82K people, at the time she was only for a few months with the band. After the world tour (in October 2013), they made Floor their official member. This song was performed at the end of 90min show, at the 1hr 10min mark. Nightwish formed in '96 in Finland, initially with Tarja (Tar-ya) Turunen as a vocalist. She left the band in 2005, and Anette Olzon stepped in, until 2012. The bassist with a cool beard is Marco, and he sings some parts too. He has his own solo project outside the Nightwish. The mastermind behind 99% of lyrics and music is a keyboardist Tuomas. Guitarist name is Emppu, and the drummer in this show is Jukka (Yukka), but later he was replaced by Kai Hahto because of health issues. Flutes/uilleann pipes/guitar/vocals - Troy, he did not perform in this song. Nightwish is better live, always, so if live performance is available, go for it. In their performances, they often using recorded backtrack of a classical orchestra for their songs. They have very diverse music, from more light songs to epic scores like this, and to really heavy metal stuff. For the next Nightwish experience, I can suggest listening to: -- Storytime from the same Wacken 2013 live ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cAwtzi7Q3Bk.html ) -- for move heavy: Ghost River, Song Of Myself, both from Wacken 2013 also ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cAwtzi7Q3Bk.html ) ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cAwtzi7Q3Bk.html ) -- If you want to explore more Floor versatility, check out her performances on a TV show Beste Zangers in 2019: (Lady Gaga's Shallow for ex.) ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M68pe4a_9zk.html ) Greetings from Moscow and stay safe! ;) Looking forward to seeing more NW on your channel!

"Fucking flawless" - Best review of this masterpiece

Thanks, I enjoyed your reaction and you are very legible, so no need to change anything

Empuu is part of the band. An absolute awesome lead guitar player. Quite a character as well. ;)

Yes. Emppu. He is part of the band, from what I can tell from day one. Nightwish has had three singers; Tarja, Anette, and now Floor Jansen. Two bassists, and two drummers. The original bassist was Sami Vanska, but was replaced by Marko 'Marco' HeitalaDonockley joined in 2007 as a guest woodwind musician, and became ingrained with time. A good addition.

bow down to thyn goddess indeed

It's great to see a fellow Brit reacting and enjoying Nightwish!! Here have a subscription!

Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!! By the way, I have seen Downton Abbey, so I can understand you

You know who they are now. 🤘😛🤘 Great reaction. Subscribed.

About the (flaming) bull head you were noticing: it’s the symbol of the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany where this concert was played. :)

If you check later live shows (Wembley, Tampere and Buenos Aires. All these are good quality videos), you will notice Floor Jansen have more tattoos in her arms. You should check "Devil and Deep Dark Ocean" Buenos Aires live. Greetings from Finland.

Flawless Floor yes 😁And all the other members of the band. Greetings from Finland (where most of the members come), Floor from Netherland, Troy from Workington, Cumbria. All the best and stay healthy + keep exploring Finnish bands (like Wintersun ... just a hint 😎)

Nice reaction, very nice... I liked it. That thing in 1.10 min is a grenade launcher of the Nightwish Army :)

Wacken (pronounced Vacken) had 82,000 people in that venue, the guitarist is a regular part of the band, those are normal keyboards dressed up with the pipes. The keyboardist (Tuomas, Pronounced like Duo-mas but with a 'T') is also the composer and song writer. The lead singer is Floor Jansen. the band is from Finland. You might also like 'Within Temptation', 'Xandria', all symphonic metal.

Great video Yaz! Nightwish are definitely awesome 👍

This has quickly become one of my favourite reactions to this track, you got so into it. Floor is a vocal goddess. I didn't realise how unknown Nightwish were in the UK I thought because me and some friends knew them they must be big over here 😂 It's a crime in tell you. Off subject, I love your hair! Keep up the good work. 😎

Nightwish Army here...loved your reaction...next please react to The Poet n Pendulum, The Gretest Show On Earth, Ever Dream, Slaying In A Dream, Story Time, Death Man Poet, Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean and I Want My Tears Back...saw our metal goddes Floor Jansen sang in different sound...enjoy the journey to the world of Nightwish

They have been around since about 1996. And have been huge Europe for years. And for a little less time have been massive in South America. It’s North America were hardly anyone has ever heard of them.

Can't wait to see your reaction to "Romanticide". 😎😎

Those pipes are ornamental....

You mentioned that it was like a symphony. This is symphonic metal so you are correct! Love Floor! Love this band! Great reaction! I think you'd really enjoy the "Poet and the Pendulum." It would be a great follow up video. Cheers!

You just moved up near the top of my list....not that you need my approval...:) Love your reaction and comments, keeping it real. Rock on and stay heavy!! NWA
