Reaction videos, for when you are so talentless and irrelevant, the only thing you can come up with for creating content is sticking your insufferable face over actually talented people's performance.
Floor Jansen is indeed Dutch. The rest of the band is from Finland except for the one member you didn't see in this video, Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist, who is English. That large "organ" is a prop, hiding the keyboards of the composer and lyricist of most of the songs of this band, Tuomas Holopainen, who is often called the "Metal Mozart." This song introduces the band, but there is so much more to come. Every member is an extremely talented musician who plays for the song. Their teamwork is phenomenal and the resulting music is a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. I hope you continue down this path, where every song is different, and there isn't a bad song in the bunch.
I am most definitely bored of that song from all the reactions i've seen. No knock on the song, but i'm not checking new reactor just because they reacted to it.
Yes, Floor Jansen is Dutch. Married to Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of the Swedish band Sabaton. Previous band Floor was a memeber of were After Forever and Revamp. Soon the general of the Nightwish army will react to you and give you the details of the band. It is very informative, like the cooperation they have with the London Symphonic Orchestre and also some choirs. Enjoy especially the live versions, they are the best. This version of this song was at the Wacken metal festival, they were the main act at this festival and their concert was 2 hours and more than 82 thousend paying attendees.
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
The keyboardist is who composes and directs 90% of their music that Oregon in front of him is just a front for his keyboard that is at the Wacken open air festival. There are 82 or 80,000 people there. It’s a festival in Germany if you hadn’t heard for rock bands, it’s kind of the Olympics in my opinion and that feeling you get when she hits that last high note, everybody affectionately calls that a floorgasm
To switch it up, you gotta show Anthony how diverse they are. "Shudder Before The Beautiful" live from Wembley "Romanticide" live from Wacken "Ghost River" Live from Wacken "I Want My Tears Back" live from Buenos Aires "Storytime" Live from Wacken "Weak Fantasy" live from Tampere "Elvenjiig/Elven Path" live from Buenos Aires
Floor stands just a tad under 6-2 in bare feet, and she's wearing 4 to 5 inch heels here....she's the Valkyrie Goddess.....Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist, co-founder (in 1996), leader, guru, composer, lyricist, arranger, and producer of 95% of the band's music.....he's the Metal Mozart".....audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000......this entire show is available on both DVD and RU-vid, under the title of "Showtime, Storytime".....Hello from Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA
She is simply the best vocalist I've come across in my lifetime...and you haven't even scratched the surface of her range in songs. Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Hello Anthony Ray ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you and your friend @BlakcPegasus for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 That's right, I didn't react very quickly, because BP is not at his first reaction to Nightwish (it's his YT channel). But after seeing the reaction, I was pleasantly impressed by AR's openness to this genre of music - I hope he will find time to look through the comments of this post, considering that he will not receive notifications, not being his channel.
She has said it's sorta that way for herself too. Her own channel, she looked back on this particular video since it has become so popular on youtube and listening to herself hit that note, she got a little choked up too.
I saw Nightwish live in Birmingham UK in November 2022, they are awesome, best live band I've ever seen. Never thought any would top Muse and Iron Maiden but they did.
Nightwish is from Finland, but Floor is from the Netherlands. You were damn feckin right on that one. Most talented female voice in all over rock and metal these days. No one carries emotions within her voice like Floor. You know why? Because she is what is called a hypersensitive person in medical therms.
How cool that you knew Floor was Dutch. Epic is a great word for Nightwish and the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. Floor Jansen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the attention and focus!
😚AHHH....yep... some would probably need to smoke after that performance😎Hearing Floor belt that out was some ear candy for sure!! I dont blame Anthony for his jaw laying on the floor.😂
About the "organ/pipes" it is of course decoration to hide his triple Korg keyboards. Nightwish is finnish Tuomas the keyboard Player once said it was a Tribute to the Finnish violist and composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) and to his monument in the finnish capital Helsinki, 600+ decorated steel pipes . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UbWb-zy85cc.html Knowing Tuomas, there is always a meaning behind everything.
Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, très bonne réaction à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Vous venez de faire connaissance du métal symphonique et de notre reine Floor , mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Faites le festival Open Air Wacken 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe. Vous venez d'écouter la chanson 13 sur les 15 du set complet, ensuite toujours dans le même concert, faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse, puis essayez le Storytime, un excellent rock comme on les aime, avec une bonne surprise avant la fin de la chanson ou alors du plus lourd avec Ghost River pour entendre le mélange des voix de Floor avec Marko ou encore plus lourd avec Romanticide..... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel Bardac devait arriver sous peu ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel d'avoir repris le flambeau de notre regrettée Anne ) cliquez sur son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre le meilleur du groupe. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait ........ Merci et à bientôt. Bonne écoute et un nouvel abonné ici.......Allez en paix mon ami.
very good reaction, thanks from Colorado. so do more Nighwish. both of you. am 72 and have seen the best rock bands live in euroland, and the US. his top 3 rock band all time
Hi ! I´m really glad you introduced Nightwish to him. Also I´m glad that there are two guys who do understand what is good music all about. You got a new subscriber for that. Hope we´ll see again with NW music with you both. Greets from Finland. Take care.
I went to see Nightwish live last year and their last 2 songs of the set were Ghost Love Song at 10 mins long and Greatest Show on Earth which is 22 mins long

Hey Anthony Ray, greetings from UK That was a great reaction, thank you. And thank BP for sharing it with you, the sign of a true fan who shares his love of music with others 😉 The world needs more people like you guys
as BlackPegasus said, welcome to Nightwish Anthony Ray ! ;) where have you been so long ? better late than never, have fun discovering this outstanding band
Although I am not a fan of either of the previous singers, every song at this concert (15) was written for them but Floor absolutely nails them all. For me she has taken Nightwish to another level and only watch and listen to them post 2012.
Anthony, I am a little surprised that you have never heard Nightwish before, specifically because Floor is the vocalist now. She is their Third vocalist and from what the band leader (and their Keyboardist) Tuomas has said, there won't be another vocalist after her. There are GREAT reasons that this is one of the top-most reacted-to videos on the internet. NIGHTWISH is one of the greatest bands to see live. This particular performance was at Wacken, Germany in 20013 where there were somewhere around 82,000 people in attendance. Can you imagine the RUSH of the feeling of power, having THAT MANY people wrapped around your little finger while leading them in a chant and getting them to do whatever you wanted for that moment? OMG! Not many people could manage what Floor did in this video. Every member of this band is World-Class in their roles and you just can't go wrong with a group like them.
Now you have experienced this, please watch: Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019. It will blow your mind how talented she is.
Welcome to Floor and Nightwish. Please check out Floor and Henk Poorte sing Phantom of the Opera from Beste Zangers TV show from 2019. There are no words.
She didn't miss a note. Don't forget that this song was the 13th of a 15 song setlist. The whole video of this show is about 1 hour and 38 minutes long. But, I've read comments that say that there are other videos of this show that are a little sped up.
This could be the entry into a massive rabbit hole. I recommend mostly live performances from Wacken 2013, Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018.
A friend once asked me to describe the band. I told him, imagine a symphony orchestra, a finnish rock band, a blues band, and a singer that can sing any style, falling down a flight of stairs, and getting up at the bottom and playing. And floor? where do i start? Siren, Valkyrie, Succubus, call her any of those, and you would be correct. I'm sure there are more. Welcome to the Nightwish dream.
Your gentle and respectful listening was really great. Thank you.❤ It's called FLOORGASM what you felt! If you want to listen to her with something familiar (cover) go on with - Shallow on Beste Zangers show 2019 - on her RU-vid channel Floor Jansen: Alone
You sound like a native Dutch speaking person, Anthony, the way you pronounce orgel with the Dutch "g". I have been a fan of Floor since I heard her for the first time with After Forever in 2004. She led me to Nightwish when she joined them in 2012 and I'm really grateful for that. I believe keyboard player and composer Tuomas Halopainen is a genius. Thanks for your reaction! Groeten uit het Westland, Nederland 🤘
Fantastic job from both of you guys to our beloved Nightwish with their 3rd and current female lead vocalist, our 6'1" (barefoot) Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen) putting on an absolute showcase. I loved it and thank you for this dive into our Nightwish rabbit hole. Hope to see you back again soon. Nightwish Army Phoenix subscriber here for you.
Not "everyone"... I LOVE this song and Nightwish and Floor, so I let a potential boyfriend listened to this song, hoping he would love it too. He listened looking bored and just said something like: "Hm... way too long". Because of this I found out he was a narcissist that could not feel the emotions from this song or Floor's voice, and this insight saved me from a LOT of heartache and misery I think. :) So it can actually help discover narcs as they get exposed by their inability to feel emotions.
Funny to hear Dutch on your channel. Dag, buurman! lol. And we got another victim of the Floorgasm! Those last notes go through your scalp and your whole body. That woman is amazing!
To be this on point when this was the 13th song of a 15 song set...amazing! The guitar solo proves that often less is more. And don't get me started on the drumming. As a drummer for 54 years (I'm 61), I cannot tell you how tricky this is. And Flors vocals...what can you say...?
2024 and still epic........props to the orchestra, the band and the chorus ( or choir ) singers for adding to Floor's amazing vocals.....symphonic metal at its best🤟this is a truly difficult composition and score to perform........... so many key changes 🎶 thank you Nightwish and Floor..........
Greatest joy of my life was seeing Nightwish live. If i may suggest, one of my favorite songs of theirs is Storytime, Floor performs it so well! Pan of their newest album is also very amazing!
Did bet with myself, and won:) Floor didnt even start singing, but the Moment She enters Stage, the Yellow Glasses dropped:) Very entertaining Recap, thx Guys, stay healthy!
And Floor is also married to the drummer in the Swedish band Sabaton ( modern metal bards when it comes to war history ( since you are getting all the nightwish lore i go for the more obscure info connected to nightwish) .. great live ( fun dudes) amazing music videos ( Christmas truth, Bismarck or 1916) .. torching animated versions with a lot of history ( no bullets fly, nightwitches) .. lives are really good ( Gothenburg “ en livstid I krig” English subtitles comes to mind .. and more) .. but when it comes to nightwish .. romanticide and song of myself
Love the introduction. Nightwish music fullfills my past fantasies and imaginations that i had as a kid playing D&D, Heroes of Might and Magic etc and all those fantasy lord of the rings type movies and books i read.
You should check out also Nightwish's first singer Tarja! One of my favorite live performances with Nightwish is Phantom of the Opera and if you want to see her solo, check out her Supremacy cover 🔥
Welcome to enjoy music without auto-tune,and dare I say real instruments.. The group was founded in Finland.. in nothern europe they are considered to be one off the best! Amazing
yes. YES. I've been waiting that one day Anthony would react to Nightwish. this is everything i have hoped for. If some different metal style of singing is what you wish to hear from Floor, I recommend Yours Is An Empty Hope or her version of Slaying The Dreamer.
Love watching reactions like this. I agree with the zero attention span problem today, thats why we dont hear music anymore. To do a reaction video you commit, commit, to watch and listen artists performance. We really lack that today.. First time watching you guys, liked it. 👍 Amazing song ofc. Keep it up
I LOOOOVEED it how you fuxxxin didn't interrupt the video 100 times like others did. I loved it how you listened to it!! And the reaction of your faces were real. Not staged. Wow, thumbs up!! Great video, loved it.
FloorJansen is Dutch. The rest of the band is from Finland. Their first vocalist Tarja was also from Finland, and between Tarja and Floor as their second vocalist there was Anette from Sweden. PS - Floor can scream. ;)
I love seeing how far you’ve come musically, Anthony. Head bopping to metal. Not saying you have to be a fan of any genre, only that it is wonderful seeing you enjoy other musics that aren’t usually in your groove. Loved your buddy’s awed reaction. A mix of enjoyment and wtf am I listening to?!
