First time reaction to NIGHTWISH - Romanticide LIVE! THIS IS NUTS 

This band is from Finland. Tuomas is the keyboarder, Songwriter, composer. Marco is (was - he resigned just recently) playing the bass and doing also the vocals. He is very versatile and an awesome singer as well. You might watch „The Islander“ from Tampere to experience this. Emppu is playing the guitar. He can shred it but he always does exactly that much, that is required by the song. Kai (also Wintersun) is now at the drums and replaced the original drummer Jukka (whom you saw here) who had stop playing the drums due to health issues. But he still is with the band. Julka was a perfect drummer and showman, Kai is a perfect drummer and a machine and beast at the drums. Then there is Troy, a multi instrumentalist from England who in older performances supported the band at some tracks but became luckily a full member of the band after this tour. He‘s a great singer as well. Last but not least there is Floor, the Dutch singer. She is the bands third singer after Tarja (operatic) and Annett from Sweden (pop/rock). She can sing really everything from opera over pop/ rock to growls This gig was at Wacken. Wacken is THE metal festival worldwide. Nightwish were one of the headliners in 2013. It is in the north of Germany in a rural area. Therefore the bullhead with flames is the Wacken symbol. There are more than 80.000 metalheads having a big party each year.

Hey here a Dutchy. The band is from Finland, but Floor Jansen is a Dutch, but she lives in Sweden . In the Netherlands we have such a good singers and metal bands like Epica ( singer Simone Simons) and Within Temptation (singer Sharon den Adel). Tip for the next? Floor and Simone Simons with the song Sancta Terra. About three days I visit Floor’s solo show. Floor Jansen solo or singing by Nightwish….always amazing. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Her husband is named Hannes Van Dahl and is the drummer for the Swedish band Sabaton, who are known for their epic, heroic tales of battles. (his drums are set up in a mock tank) As others have posted before, Floor is one of the most down to earth people you'd ever want to meet. Like everyone, I'm sure she can have a mood, but in every interview, and on every show I've seen, she's acted like an absolute sweetheart. Then she goes on stage and a switch flips.

As an American I concur. Haven't actively listened to American music in 20 years. NW brought hope and joy for music once again in my life.

Floor already has one daughter, now she is pregnant again and her husband is from a different metal music band (Sabaton). She sings at metal concerts even in her advanced pregnancy, recently Nightwish toured in Japan (Osaka)

One of the best singers in the world, yet she has only been known for 2 years in my country, her native country, the Netherlands since her duet, Floor Jansen with Henk Poort: Phantom of the Opera. Really worth listening to, best version ever.

Thank you for a positive reaction, you have a new subscriber here because you had the courage to continue exploring. As you understood by reading the lyrics, the song is about a relationship that goes wrong, full of lies and betrayals, and the double vocal slide at the end - the cry of liberation from this state. I await your next reaction with great curiosity. All the best, from Romania!

Married to the drummer of Sabaton

She is married to Sabaton's drummer Hannes Van Dahl. If you haven't checked out Sabaton, I think you should. Greetings from Sweden

The keyboarder Toumas writes pretty much all their music and lyrics. Their songs Dead Boy’s Poem and Poet and the Pendulum have some of the best and emotive lyrics as they are deeply personal to him

Nice to see you discovered my favorite band. Looking forward to more Nightwish. Every song is different One of my favorite songs "7 days to the wolves " Wembley 2015 the energy atbthis performance is incredible

You wanna be Nightwish Army? Get thru all of Gabriel's list, learn their History, and adopt a philosophy of humanity, empathy and kindness!

Fun fact Empuu The guitarist, have black belt in judo and have won two goldmedals in the Finnish championship and one bronzemedal in the nordic championship 😏

It's a Finland band with a vocalist from Netherlands...

By the way you nailed the European metal scene by saying that they are better life than in the studio and most American bands are better in the studio then they are live.

This entire Wacken (pron: VAW-Kehn) show is a masterpiece of live recording and performance! That's why we suggest you check out many or all songs from that concert. The other reason is that singer, Floor had only been w the band under a year and was performing songs that were all written for prior female singers...they are older songs that wouldn't be on future set lists, and Floor made them all her own! Singing with her is bassist Marko Hietala...a fantastic vocalist in his own right!

Speaking of the crowd chanting.. 'I Want My Tears Back, live in Buenos Aires.' 😂 it is a thing.

The lyrics of nightwish are deep and poetic.. Weak fantasy is very good...

Storytime next or Song of Myself. Epic! Greatest Show on Earth!

Shes married to the drummer of Sabaton, Hannes Van Dahl. And yes. NIGHTWISH IS A DEFINITIVE LIVE BAND. Its their strength and where their magic is.

The catalogue of this band is so great and consists only of gems! There is so much for you to discover, as you've even sctratched the very surface of Floors and Tuomas capabilities. On your journey you'll experience folk vibes (e.g. "I want my Tears Back" from Buenos Aires), uplifting songs (like e.g. „Alpenglow"), fast and furios songs (like e.g. "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" from Buenos Aires), heavy ones (like e.g. "Yours is an empty hope" from Wembley), powerful ones (like e.g. "Weak Fantasy" from Tampere), very emotional ones (like e.g. "Dead Boys Poem" from Buenos Aires), headbanging songs (like e.g. "Song of Myself" from Wacken), ... And of course the two epic masterpieces "The Greatest Show on Earth" from either Tampere or Wembley (it's about the evolution of live and mankind) "The Poet and the Pendulum" for which you for sure should read the backstory first.

Wow indeed gents. I got in to Nightwish just over 12 months ago having not heard of Nightwish or Floor until then and since my musical world has been turned upside down and inside out. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft. 👍😊

i didnt used to like this song but then i saw this live and was like wait.... this is incredible.

The singer is Dutch and she has participated for a number of years in a Dutch program called best singers. And she sang the phantom of the opera there. So incredibly good! Worth a look. Proud of her am also a Dutch

It's a shame they aren't a household name in the US. She's one of the greatest female singers I have heard of the last couple decades, and easily destroys anyone over here. One of my favorite bands, especially for live performances (the other being Lovebites). Just unbelievable. Every song you hear from them, you'll be amazed. Note: Floor is Dutch, but this is a Finnish metal band. Floor is the third singer for the band. If you keep checking out more Nightwish, you'll possibly come across Tarja and Annette - impressive in their own rights - but all hail Floor!

When You listen "I wan't my tears back!" In Buenos Aires, You will get Ole Ole's. Thank Your reactions !

If you want a song where Floor and Marko both sing try Ghost River from this same concert, I think you guys will like that one!

From your comments, you really need to react to their performance of I Want My Tears Back from Buenos Aires. They throw a concert and a soccer crowd shows up!!!

Try Dark Chest of Wonders. It’s the show opener at the Wacken 13 show you’ve seen a couple videos from already. It’s the first time many in the 82k there got to see Floor as the lead singer in NW. Best show opener you’ll hear. Listen to the audience the first time Floor walks out on stage.

*Romanticide* has always been one of my favorite songs from the Wacken show but there are so many more. You should also try this upcoming band named *The Warning.* They do fantastic live performances. Try *The Warning - DISCIPLE Live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022* to start with.

Tuomas, aka Metal Mozart, is a lyrical genius. He also composes 95% of the music.

Great reaction man!!! Amazing to see how no matter what music you tend to listen Nightwish's composition is a magnet for all!!! Love from Romania!!!

u gotta watch the greatest show on earth by nightwish next

Nightwish fan and new subscriber here. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to Nightwish. I'm looking forward to following you on your journey as you continue to explore this amazing band.

Really enjoying your Nightwish reactions, it’s so fun to see people fall in love with this band and wanting to share that “i can’t believe I’ve never heard about them, why don’t more people listen to this?!?” feeling with your friends :) I would recommend ‘seven days to the wolves’, that’s a great song to get you energized!

No no no!😂 Nightwish is finnish😂 Tuomas Holopainen the keyboardist writes all the songs and all of them are from Finland except Floor the singer and Troy Donockley who is from England. Greetings from Finland! You guys are awesome❤ Yes you have female fans, at least I am!

Yours is an empty hope live at wembley. When you hear something unexpected it’s actually floor doing it.

Yeeees nightwish army Denmark reporting in 🤘 she is married and currently pregnant.

Didn't notice anyone mentioning the multi instrument player Troy, who is English, from the north western coast. You'll get to know his talents too if you continue riding this train. Apart from him and Floor all the other members are Finnish.

The band is from Finland. Floor is Dutch. Living in Sweden with her swedish husband Hannes Van Dal. He's the drummer of another fun band called Sabaton. This year I'm seeing them both Live. Hannes with Sabaton now in April (Touring with BABYMETAL, another band you should check out), Floor in June in what seems to be their last Live show for a few years at least. They announced a hiatus after this tour, and the show in Oslo, Norway, June 22 is the last one. Even us Norwegians know the term "Dutch Oven". It was 82K on this show. It's a fact. In the show opener video this is stated. Biggest show I've ever been to was Rammstein at Bjerke, Oslo, Norway. 60.000 tickets sold. Crazy. Edit. Floor and Hannes has one girl, Freja, and she's pregnant with no2 right now.

Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney, Australia Division) 🇦🇺🤘. Great reaction and welcome to the NW rabbit hole. You are in good hands with the comments you are going to get - especially from Gabriel, he really knows his stuff. Just follow his suggestions and you cannot go wrong. Looking forward to the next reaction.

Nightwish has had 3 lead singers. Their first one Tarja (Tar-yuh) is a professionally trained opera singer and was the foundation their sound was built around. You guys should really see Nightwish's rendition of Phantom of the Opera live.

😅 this was amazing reaction but dudes NW is from Finland and Floor is Dutch.. she's married to Sabaton drummer with daughter and another little bun on the way ❤

The NW Army is not only from Europe... they have a huge fanbase in Latin america. I'm a 45 metalhead from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've been a fan for 20 years. I would love that you check out the song I want my tears back...recorded in Buenos Aires on their Decades tour. It was filmed in an indoor stadium. Looking forward for more Nightwish reactions. New subscriber here. 🤘🏻🖤

next song ''storytime'' and ''ever dream''.Greetings from Greece!

Great reaction. It will only get better and better from here on.....:)

Floor is a shade over 6'. Her husband, Hannes van Dahl, the drummer for Sabaton, is 6'4". They have a daughter, Freja, who they so far prefer not to have photographed. The band is currently touring the Far East while Floor is pregnant.

Nightwish is form Finland 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

Floor Jansen is married to the drummer of the band Sabaton. Thanks 😊

Hey Black Pegasus. Nightwish fan and subscriber here for you two. Every Nightwish song is so different. I loved your reactions and even the replays of parts of this performance. Floor's husband, Hanness Van Dahl, is not shorter than her. He is the drummer for the metal band Sabaton, and is 6'3" compared to Floor's 6'1". Nightwish is a Finnish band but has Floor who is Dutch and the multi-instrumentalist,Troy Donockley, who is British. Keep the Nightwish live reactions with Floor coming. You have just touched the tip of the iceberg that is Nightwish.

A Dutch oven is a cast iron cooking pot with lid.

That was a full octave glissando that Floor and Marco hit near the end.

The audio is top notch (for all 15 songs) because it was recorded and remixed for the DVD/Blueray.

This entre concert is amazing. Saw them 2021 in Oslo, they really are fantastic live😍

You guys are killing me 😅 Really enjoyed your reactions and I really find it cool to see how you're open for this total different style of music. New sub

In Norse mythology, a valkyrie ("chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who guide souls of the dead to the god Odin's hall Valhalla.Only warriors who were slain in a battle were worthy to be brought there. There, the deceased warriors become einherjar (Old Norse "single (or once) fighters. Valkyries were very tall, very beautiful women and usually carried a sword. Hence Floor is described as a valkyrie.

The husband of Floor is the drummer of the schwedish Metal Band : SABATON

I'll be here every time for Nightwish!! Rock on!

Valkyries are the war goddesses from Norse mythology that scoured the battlefields for fallen Norse warriors to escort them to Valhalla, where they would feast until the final battle at the end of times, Ragnarok.

her husband is hannes the drummer from sabaton...another band you guys need to hear

Yes. Shes an elite level performer. Theres nothing more infuriating as a fan when you go to a concert and the person you seeing can't do it live.

Speaking of the soccer games… check out “I want my tears back” from Buenos Aires!

Singers sing what they can Floor sings what she wants ❤

Nightwish is always without auto-tune: a band, a singer and go! When they are directing the recordings themselves, like here, there is afterwards mixing and cleaning up (like the constant roar of plus 80.000 people), but nothing fake. BTW Floor and bearded bass player Marko know each other from their mutual interest: axe fighting! 🤭

Floor is married to Hannes Van Dahl, the drummer from Sabaton. They have one daughter and she is currently pregnant. Hannes is taller than Floor.

"Ole-ole-ole-ole-o" ... dudes, you might wanna put that in the back of your head when you do "I Want my Tears Back" from Buenos Aries, 2019... jus sayin. Ditch the Wakken version. So, on why they sound so good : a) all the backing tracks run about half of the symphonic/brass/choir (the rest is played by Tuomas via sampled stuff) AND that is brought in via Protools which also triggers the lights/pyro, video boards. b) there is a lot of arrangement here that "makes room" for the vocal frequencies (generaly 100-80 Hz, tho Floor pushes the top end) The bass is in the clear, but the keys are generally all higher freq stuff, and the guitar sound is very mid-scooped (playing mainly low notes, with lots of 3rd/4th/5th harmonic distortion. That leave tonnes of space for the vocals to punch trough without competition. c) instruments wouldn't dare get in the way of Floor's vocals... Valkyries just wail right over that sh!t without any effort at all. Floors Dutch, the band is Finnish, her husband is a Swede drummer (for Sabaton) and their expecting their second and she is STILL out on tour. Flippin Goddess Especiale. ... not sure how that translates into Dutch.

Dutchy here. Love your comments! Floor is Dutch but the band is Finnish. I know we have a view amazing symphonic metal bands here.. 'epica' 'within temptation' a dutchoven is a cast iron pan that you can use to cook on coals. you can make really super tasty stews and apple pie yourself. Just no idea why it's called a dutch oven...

Nobody hates you for backing up to re-listen …we all do it🤘🤘 If you want to hear “ole ole ole” crowd you have to listen to Nightwish ..I Want My Tears Back ..live in Buenos Aires…it will blow your mind👍

just an FYI, Nightwish is always best live and if you listen to the studio version of this song you will be hearing a different singer. Floor is the 3rd vocalist they have had and she was not with the band when this song came out.

Yo, BP. I'm Canadian, not Dutch, but a dutch oven is an (usually) cast iron pot with a tight-fitting lid. Pretty sure that's where the term you were talking about comes from. Tight lid, cooking. I can't believe I put this much thought into such a throw away joke.

Floor Jansens is married to the drummer of Sabaton (a war historical metal band-- yes you read that correct. Its a band that all their songs are about war and heroics and pain and suffering war causes

Floor is classically trained and can sing Opera arias. She also trained in Music Theater and Rock Academy in the Netherlands. She stared singing in her first band, After Forever, around 14 I think. You find a lot of singers in Metal (in Europe) who are classically trained and that helps with breath control, projection, et. al.

Another rabbithole is Ayreon....really groovy progressive rock/ jazz/metal. Or Epica..dutch symphonic deathmetal with an angelic vocalist.

LOOOL EYYY WE WANT SOME... Made me laugh, We do have taste and respect for real music like Yours. Love from Sweden

Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth Live - (Legendado PT/Br) is crazy epic

Nightwish is Finnish. Floor is Dutch. She is married to a drummer not a singer. He is Dutch too. Her husband plays drums for Sabaton. A Swedish band that their songs are about historical-war songs. (You can learn history from them actually). It would be cool to react to them. Metal unites countries and ethnicities❤

I envision their Daughter to be a tall singing drummer. You mentioned soccer game chants. Nightwish did a gig in Buenos Aires, Argentina 2019 and guess what happened even before the singing started? It was epic and memorable. Floor is very animated in this one and you get to meet multi-instrumentalist Troy and try to figure out what instrument he is playing. It’s not electric, does not utilize the mouth and it dominates the song and makes Floor dance all over the stage while interacting with the crowd. 😄🤘 ‘I Want my Tears Back’ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TBOdgxjb0kM.html

You hit on how good Floor sounds live; There is a TV show Called Beste Zangers (Best Singers in Dutch). The whole idea is that the entire cast of the show is nothing but the top professional singers in the whole country, and they have numerous performances throughout. I have seen a RU-vid video analyzing the audio from those performances and it is crazy. Pretty much everyone else when looking at their pitch has clear evidence of software adjusting their pitch so that it snaps to the exact note, but not Floor. She naturally nails the notes with the tiny variations that are practically unavoidable and unnoticeable to the human ear, showing that this is not corrected, but simply her natural performance. She is truly a unique talent who has put in INSANE levels of dedicated practice to master her craft.

And why it's called Nightwish army 😂 🤘 She leads, we'll follow (Straight through fire)

😂😂😂😂 Es como si te arroya un trolebus..... Te levantas, te colocas...y piensas... Qué carajos ha pasado? Y sonríes .....OMG!!!!

Y'all doin' Romanticide? I got just one thing to say: Best. Banshee. Wail. EVER. And Floor is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer for Sabaton. He is 3" taller than Floor, and they have one daughter, Freja, and a second child on the way. By the way, guys, I have a band for you to react to: Bloodywood! Bloodywood hails from New Delhi, India. Completely 100% independent, Bloodywood is an eclectic mix of death metal, electronica, and rapping. Think Linkin Park, and mix in some curry -- that's Bloodywood. I recommend Aaj (Hindi for "Today") or Jee Veerey (Hindi for "Brave One"). After that, I recommend reacting to a song called Dana Dan, one of the hardest metal songs, about one of the most sensitive topics in today's world: SA. Bloodywood is so beloved because they speak about social topics, and wanting to change things in the world. Check 'em out!

You may have been joking about Woodstock there, but look up the Woodstock festival in Poland... For example, when Sabaton were playing in 2012, there were 600,000 people, almost 8 times as many as here 🤪😁🤘

One of my fave NW songs. Greetings from Finland.

Floor is married to a drummer, they have 1 child I’m aware of, a little girl named Freja. Yes, Floors talent runs in the family, you should search RU-vid for the video of Floor performing with her sister Irene. They are all incredibly tall as well. Floor is 6’1”, her husband is 6’7” and her sister is about as tall as Floor. They look like twins actually.

She is married to Sabaton's drummer (Hannis Van Dahl). They have a daughter and just announced they have their second child on the way. Also she just went through (last year) and is a breast cancer survivor. She dealt with that last spring/summer and was back performing in November.

Ok you two struck gold ! This is one of the best live concerts there is !! Please react to : Nightwish -Song of myself ! Live at wacken 2013 ! Stay real and dont try so hard cut down on the BS and you might tripple your subscribers ! En joy the Ride !

She’s married to a drummer (in Sabaton); one child, another on the way; Hannes (the Husband) is taller than her, about 6’3” to Floor’s 6ft. I guess the children will be singing drummers and grow up to be Phil Collins - is that how it work?

First: NIghtwish (Symphonic Metal) is Finnich band !!!! Floor Jansen (6 feet 1 inches) is Dutch and married to Sabaton's (Swedish heavy metal band) drummer Hannes Van Dahl (6 feet 3 inches). They have a daughter Freya and their second child is on the way !!! PS: Floor's husband has a Tank !!!! Now the song: This song is Like a Coffee with Red Bull .... On Steroids 🤘❤‍🔥🤘. And the creator of this magic is: Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. PLUS: Floor can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bullwhip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. I can see my subscription in your future..... Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia 🤘😎🤘.

you mentioned Marhia Carey and what Foor did at the end with that slide up reaching that super high note is at that level of talent,

Floor Jansen from the Netherlands The 6th member Troy Donockley is from Great Britain. The rest of the band is from Finland

Nightwish is from Finland. Lead vocalist Floor Jansen is Dutch.

If you like symphonic rock/metal and Floor as a Dutch artist, you could also check out Ayreon “the day that the world breaks down” and after that the live version of “everybody dies”. Ayreon is a project of the Dutch artist Arjan Lucassen who writes rock/metal operas where a whole album is a story. Every voice on it is a character in the story and in “the day that the world breaks down” there are 11 (!!!!!!!!!) main singers. The singers are leadsingers of well known metalbands. You will hear Floor also on it 😉. Oh and he is 6 foot 6……..

You went down the rabbit hole

FLOOR is going Full GODDESS.💫💥🔥😍💯

It's is a band from Finnland, and they have had few different singers. All of them were great. The singer in this video is Dutch :)

Hey guys, 73 years old hippie from the Netherlands ( Floor country) reporting in: Why do Americans call it a Dutch oven? It is called a Dutch oven after an English industrialist discovered a pot in The Netherlands made for cooking which was cast from sand molds. The English industrialist called Abraham Darby named it the Dutch oven as a homage to the Dutch. - Floor Jansen is from The Netherlands. - Keep going' on this "Far Out" trip you embarked on ... Shine on,

I never heard of Dutch Oven, we called it cast iron pan. I read it's from America... (i'm Dutch😅) Awesome to see how you guys are getting floored by Floor❤
