Music Teacher Reacts: NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) 

You guys are amazing! Thank you for your continued support on this channel :)

"The vocalist is talented, too." Biggest musical understatement since someone said of Mozart, "The kid has promise".

Ghost Love Score isn't a song, it's an event.

Longest song he’s reacted to... laughs in greatest show on earth time

Floor Jansen : "The Swiss Army Knife of Singing".

I am glad you liked it. Here is some info that may answer some of your questions. Great reaction. I subbed. Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a symphonic metal band. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu. Then there is Troy Donockley who is a multi-instrulmentalist and does vocals. Jukka is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai became the drummer and as of now is a permanent member. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. the 2nd one was Anette Olzon (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from the Netherlands.( power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) 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 live ( Floor), and 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. I discovered them about 4 years ago. They are unbelievable live. Their music has gotten me through some tough times, so it might help through these times. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol My favorite song is Song of Myself live at Wacken 2013. Thank you. Take care and stay safe........

I have seen them 6 times and Floor nails that epic ending every single time. Best vocalist I have ever seen

Nightwish Army incoming. I think you'll enjoy Romanticide or Storytime next.

"Wacken is usually hold in Germany" City of Wacken: Yeah, where else?

Welcome, I am a 70 year old senior citizen, musician, and member of the Nightwish army🙂 I see that you have heard from Ann Waychoff, she is a beloved member of the NW army. At my age, I have course have heard many great concerts over the years. But hearing Nightwish here in Maryland in 2015 and 2018 was among the very best ever. Floor Jansen is quite simply one of the best singers on this planet. A fact, not an opinion. NW has a brand new album on which she handles some very challenging vocals. The musicianship of the band is great. Kai Hahto is an amazing drummer (he replaced Jukka, who is the excellent drummer on the 2013 video). New sub, keep up the good work.

Some time ago, I was reading the comments after listening to some tracks from Amy Lee's "Synthesis." Someone basically said, "If you like this, Floor Jansen and Nightwish are even better." After recovering from my initial offense (how can you possibly like someone better than Amy Lee?), I Googled Nightwish, listened to this (GLS) and had a similar WOW experience. Wondering if this greatness was a fluke, I listened to their other stuff and my opinion was musically beaten into submission and I was conscripted into the Nightwish "army" Warning... If you listen to two or three more songs, you will be assimilated into the ranks... It's inevitable.

They are from Finland, though Floor...the vocalist...is from the Netherlands. They’ve been around since the mid-90s, and Floor is their third singer. Tuomos, the keyboardist, composes most of their music and writes most of their lyrics. Anything from this show is top notch, especially Romanticide (much heavier than this), Storytime, Everdream, and Song of Myself. For something even more epic than this song...believe it or not...check out their song The Greatest Show On Earth live at Tampere.

I haven't read all the comments, so I will just leave my part here.. It's a very long read, but you asked to be informed.. So, I will do my best.. Nightwish has formed in 1996 by Tuomas Holopainen (Keys and songwriting, but also composes most of the songs) and Emppu Vuorinen (Guitarist) and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The former drummer Jukka Nevalainen and former bass player Sami Vänskä soon joined the band. In 1997 they released there first album called Angels Fall First. After this release they were having succes in Finland, where they are from, but it didn't take off before releasing Oceanborn in 1998. After that the Wishmaster album dropped in 2000 and in 2002 Century Child saw the light. Fans of the first hour would probably still tell you those three albums are still the most loved. At this point Nightwish is doing great in Europe, but still haven't made it to the American market. That changed all in 2004 when they released the album called Once. The single Wish I had an Angel was showed on MTV. They produced three more singles and two music videos for the Once album, as well as a re-recording of the song Sleeping Sun for the compilation album, Highest Hopes: The Best of Nightwish, before Turunen's dismissal in October 2005. Wait what?! Dismissal? Yes. If you ask any fan before 2005 you will get a different break down on how this all went. I will give you the "official" statement. In short came down to the fact Tarja was already speaking of leaving the band the next year (2006) for a solo career, also there were talks she and the band were not on the same page of the direction they would go to. On top off that there were suppose to be some problems between her manager and also husband. So the band fired her, with an open letter, (you see the link in Romanticide) after the show recorded for the live album/DVD End of an Era. Since Tarja and Tuomas were growing up together, as you can imagine, there was much to lose emotionally. The thing was he had the feeling that he was most to blame for letting her go. After this things went bad. There were fans throwing Tuomas under the bus. He destroyed Nightwish according to them, even tough the music and lyrics mostly came from him. Fans were saying that Tarja didn't deserve to be treated this way, etc. This made him very depressed and he was having suicidal thoughts. He wrote a song about it called Poet and the Pendulum (if you want to react to this song, please do some others first, make sure you do do the Wembley 2016 version of it.). In this song he describes the impact this part of his life had on him. 2 years went by without very little news. You would read somewhere Tuomas was writing music but that was about it. Then in may of 2007 the word dropped Anette Olzon joined the band to replace Tarja. That September, the band released their sixth album, Dark Passion Play. The album's lead single, Amaranth, became one of their most successful in songs Europe.The supporting tour, one of their largest, started on October 6, 2007 and ended on September 19, 2009. They released an EP/live album, Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places), in March of 2009 as a CD/DVD, and their seventh studio album, Imaginaerum, was released in late 2011. Anette was not much liked by the early fans. Of course she did bring some new ones too but that seemed not to cover the fans lost. Reason for this was mostly because of her sound. Tarja is a soprano with a very own sound. This is what made Nightwish so great and stand apart from other female fronted metalbands. SInce Anette sounded way more pop and could not deliver the same kind of notes as Tarja did, she was not accepted by those old fans. On October 1, 2012, the announcement was made that they had parted ways with Olzon for what I understand she wants to be more with her family and start her own. Nightwish would be finishing the tour with, at that time, ReVamp vocalist (ex-After Forever) Floor Jansen. In October 2013 (You see how short she was with the band at that Wacken show) they made Jansen, and longtime session uilleann pipes player Troy Donockley, permanent members of the band. They were featured in the acclaimed album Endless Forms Most Beautiful, released on March 27, 2015. On July 15, 2019, it was announced on the band's Facebook page that Kai Hahto would be permanently taking over from Jukka Nevalainen as the band's drummer; in a statement, Nevalainen explained that whilst he was managing his insomnia very well and having few issues, he did not want to 'push his luck' by returning to the band as a full-time member. He did confirm, however, that he would continue in his role taking care of band-related business behind the scenes. I discovered them late 2002 I would say. Saw them live with Tarja in 2004 and 2005. Saw them live at Wacken 2005, still with Tarja. In 2008 at Wacken with Anette and 2009 as well. With Floor I saw them in 2013 at Alcatraz Festival. My recommendations to songs you need to react to first? Well, this is all with Floor, so you can get to know the current Nightwish first. - Romanticide at Wacken 2013 - Song of Myself at Wacken 2013 - Ghost River at Wacken 2013 - Ever Dream at Wacken 2013 - She's My Sin at Wacken 2013 - Dark Chest of Wonders at Wacken 2013 - I Want My Tears Back at Wacken 2013 - Last Ride of the Day at Wacken 2013 - Poet and the Pendulum at Wembley 2016 - The Greatest Show on Earth at Tampere 2015 (this one.. hold back for as long as you can.. kind of a masterpiece..) When you did all the above it is really time you should check out the (2 hour) documentary "Please learn the set list in 48 hours". It's a documentary about the joining of Floor (and Troy) becoming part of the band. It really helps to understand how this all take place. After this all you are kinda set to explore the past and the future Nightwish, they just realeased a new album and live DVD (in december). If you want some do some reactions with Tarja you should check "The Phantom of the Opera" live, also check "Sleeping Sun". So, this is my part of information about Nightwish. If you've read it, a like would be kinda nice.. not that you need to, but hey..

"Wacken is usually in Germany" I'd hope so since the concert is named after the village where it's held at. ;)

As a little warning you barly started scratching the surface of Floor's vocal skills and the bands skill and you seem to have started falling into one of the best rabbit holes there is :)

To put it the way it is: This performance (and Floor in particular) is World Class.

They have a masterpiece about evolution called The Greatest Show on Earth at 20 mins long

Floor is by far the most versitile vocalist ive heard in a VERY long time! As a music teacher im sure you will be impressed. I have NEVER heard her sing anything badly, or miss a note. im sure you will be flooded with nightwish suggestions from the nightwish army, but if you really want to dive into floors skill and get a really good sampling oof her range, check out her performances on the dutch show "beste zangers where she sings everything from classic opera to belty pop songs and intimate soft melodies, as well as flawless duets in german, dutch, and spanish

I love how everybody's faces start to melt, when they hear her singing, for the first time 😁

The Valkyrie Goddess of metal, Floor Jansen.... Making current pop divas sound like they're farting on a snare drum

Floor Jansen can sing from ethereal, classical and operatic singing, to powerful belting, and aggressive, raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. She is a soprano. Jansen started studying music at the Dutch Rock Academy in 1999, entering the Conservatorium Tilburg three years later. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. Later, she started teaching . Romaticide , yours is an Empty hope , Ever dream . All are so good , so many to reccomend. Great reaction!

Nice reaction! This genre of music is called Symphonic Metal. FYI: There were 82,000+ in the audience that night. GLS is the 13th of 15 songs that NW performed that night. I would recommend either 'Ever Dream' or 'Storytime' From the same concert. The singer's name is Floor Jansen. She is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for 10 months at the time of this concert there at Wacken on 03 August 2013. They were the Headliners that year.

Finnish band with a Dutch vocalist playing progressive symphonic metal (Metallica meets Hans Zimmer) with a single songwriter with penchant for wall of sound and game to try anything. A lot like Devy in that respect, plus this singer guested on Deconstruction, "Pandemic", of all songs! GLS is (most likely) a torch song.

Nightwish "Greates Show on Earth" 21 Minuts !! ..Tampere 2015 !!

About Wacken: It's not USUALLY in Germany, it's always been in Germany and always will be. It's right next to the little village named Wacken and was just named after it. In Germany, we have between 1 to 3 heavy metal/rock/similar open air festivals each weekend during summer (leaving out those 1-day festivals and those that are more like a camping party with regional bands and just a few hundreds people). But Wacken is the biggest and one of the oldest. In Germany it's on the bucket list of the things you have to do at least once in your life of every metalhead. And yeah, they were headlining. Btw, did you see those lights behind the crowd? That's not the village. Those are the lights of all the stands of the festival grounds, behind them the lights of the camping grounds. The village itself is not visable from the festival area.

The European, and especially the Finnish metal scene is a 'World of Wonder'. Suggesting Storytime, from this same show. Welcome!

You just summoned the Nightwish Army!) Thank you for sharing your reaction and welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal! Well, you've 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 sings emotions, not words. Floor joined Nightwish in the middle of their Imaginaerum world tour in late 2012 (which includes this show). 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, 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 step, I can suggest listening to: - Storytime from the same Wacken 2013 live - for move heavy: Ghost River, Song Of Myself, both from Wacken 2013 also - If you want to explore more Floor versatility, check out her performances on a TV show Beste Zangers in 2019. You just starting your journey with Nightwish, and be prepared to be surprised (and sometimes shocked) time and time again! Their music is very emotional and diverse. Nightwish released their new album on April 10th (Human. :||: Nature.). Greetings from Moscow and stay safe! ;)

Everyone remembers their first time...

Nightwish is from Finland. The current lead singer, Floor Jansen is from Sweden. Floor is trained in both classical and opera genres.

The clocks, well... that's relative to the album they released that year...Imaginaerium.

More Nightwish! 1) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013); 2)Romanticide (Wacken 2013); 3) Music (new release) - to showcase their amazing wide range, talent and variety of style - especially Floor Jansen, she can do literally anything and any style, said to have the widest range and most powerful female vocal in the world. Great job, loved your analysis, subscribed. :)

Hey! Don’t be ashamed. I played WoW (still do). 😂 Nightwish with Floor Jansen is my all time favorite. I think of Nightwish as its own genre. Every song is different than the last song. And Floor, OMG she has a 4-octave range and is the Nightwish Army’s stunning 6’1” Valkyrie Goddess. Nightwish is always best served up live. Enjoyed your reaction. If you want to see a heavier song try Romanticide Wacken 2013. 🤘

I feel very comfortable in saying that this is probably *the* song more or less everyone is in agreement should be the Wacken open air live preformance, regardless if you're a live or a studio version person. It is absolutely magnificent.

I was waiting for this, I didn't understand why you haven't reviewed Floor Jansen, but I'm glad you did it and I hope you keep doing Floor's reactions as same as you do Dimash reactions. I feel Nightwish Army should been appearing here...hehe Quick answers: Nightwish are from Finland, Floor Jansen (singer) is Dutch. They are a Symphonic metal band, the composer is Tuomas (keyboards). I suggest to you for the next reaction: Nightwish - Romanticide live at Wacken 2013 (same show) I'll be waiting for more Nightwish reactions :) Stay safe and stay metal.

Best grab a battle helmet at bunker down, you're about to be invaded by the Nightwish Army and your subscriber base is about to increase dramatically. Amazonian Goddess: Floor Jansen, (6'1") greatest singer in the world, can do it all! Check out more numbers from their Wacken set. 'Song of Myself' is excellent. BTW, they have longer songs, hope you'll get to them eventually. Enjoy! :-)

Wacken is always the same place: A little village in the rural north of Germany. 😊

The band if from Finland, Tuomas (piano) is the composer. Floor (singer) is the 3rd singer of this band and she is from the Netherlands. (i can only remmond you watch the documentary here on youtube about how she gotten 48 hours to learn the playlist and sing.) There many great songs of this band. Maybe also fun for you is to check out her performances on the dutch tv show "beste zangers 2019" (best singers 2019). Before this show she was not known over here and that changed very quickly. Everyone of her songs was amazing, but the final episode she did "phantom of the opera" with Henk Poort (dutch actor for phantom of opera) and its just jawdropping good.

The clocks you're asking about were related to the artwork from the album Imaginaerum, which they were finishing up a 2 year long world tour for this show. Just pick random live Nightwish songs to react to, we'll watch them.

They are from Finland. The cool part of this all is the story of how she learned this set list in such a short time

Hello! You have just summoned the Nightwish army :D I see Ann gave you the gist of the band's background. Ghost Love Score is a love song. My interpretation of it is that it's about an unrequited love and the song goes through several phases of that kind of situation, from dreaming to longing, to anger and passion and undying devotion (the chorus). Since you seem to be into metal, I recommend reacting to Romanticide - Live at Wacken (same show). It's a much heavier song from them.

It is a complete experience. Every now and again a band comes along with all the right pieces to create the extraordinary. I am now Nightwish army!

This song is probably one of the greatest ever made in my eyes and Floor just makes the experience that much better. As well the fact that this song was from one of their first albums says a lot about the guy who composes it all. Which are the guy on the keyboard (as mentioned by others here) Ben listening to NW for many, many years now and I`ve always loved their stuff. If you like this style of music your next step would be to check out, Within Temptation - Angles. I promise you that you won't be disappointed. Their vocalist Sharon possesses an angelic voice

Nightwish! Obsessed with this band and Floor! Anything from this show is awesome! Romanticide or Ghost River next!

Nightwish is a Finnish Symphonic Metal band. Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) is a Dutch singer from the Netherlands, currently living in Sweden. Nightwish began their career in 1996 and Floor began her career with her first band in 1997. They did not join together until 2012 but I have been following both of them since 1997. Floor is also the 3rd vocalist of Nightwish. She was sent on text message from the band asking if she could quick join them to finish their tour because the current vocalist became ill and could not perform. She of course said yes as she was already friends with the band at this time after having opened for them in the past. She had basically two days to learn the entire set list before performing. Since then she has become the permanent vocalist along with another musician named Troy who is known for his wide array of instruments such as the high and low whistles, and Uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes). In addition to reacting to other songs from this concert I would suggest you watch this video about how Floor was brought into the band. It really is amazing to see how much she accomplished and how good she is at what she does. A lot of this info is from my own memory and this was a while back so I don’t remember everything. The link is below. Floor also appeared on the Dutch music show Beste Zangers 2019 and performed some masterpieces there as well. I hope this helps you understand the band a little better. I’d have to write another 10 pages to tell you everything lol. In closing I would like to suggest you react to Ghost River and Romanticide from the same Wacken concert and also Sleeping Sun from the 2016 Masters of Rock concert in Vizovice, Czech Republic. If I can help any further, please let me know but you have a whole army of fans here who love nothing more than talking about Nightwish! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vhExkmWKMEU.html

Prepare yourself for a 20+ minute mark with Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere. It's about the evolution of life and history of the Universe. It's EPIC

Yeeeesssss I can't tell you what it does to my heart to see my favorite reactors covering both Dimash AND Nightwish!! You're gonna get the entire Nightwish Army giving you song suggestions (just like the Dimash Dears do lol) so I'll let them handle that. I can't wait for the next reaction!

Glad you enjoyed our favorite band NIGHTWISH ! I see you are meeting the Nightwish Army, also ! Hope you enjoy your musical, magical journey through every kick-ass song !!!

Nightwish was founded back in 1996 in Kitee Finland, by Tarja & Tuomas. The rest joined over time. They are considerd symphonic power metal , they have released nine studio albums. The have had three singers : Tarja Turnunen ( 1996 till 2005) Anette Olzon from 2005-2012 and their current Singer Floor Jansen joined officially in 2013 Finshed the tour back in 2012 more info about their voices later. The band currently exists out of 5 members. Their latets Album Human Nature released almost a month ago. Their longest song is 24 minutes long and is called The greatest show on earth which is my personal favorite song by nightwish. About the vocalist Tarja is a Full Light lyric soprano most of her songs were operatic, Anette Olzon is A lyric mezzo soprano and sings mostly in her chest voice and her voice is a bit poppy, Floor Jansen is a Spinto Soprano and has the widest range out of all three singers, She can Grunt , Sing operatic and belt like no one else. Fun fact Floor jansen was in last years Dutch TV Program Beste Zangers, where she finally got the praise and attention she deserved all those years ago. She is one of the reasons I am proud to say I am Dutch. I hope this was enough information

Welcome to Nightwish! You are going to get a ton of recommendations for live songs, especially from Wacken and they are at their best live with Floor in my opinion. However, their latest album is fascinating to break down musically and lyrically so when you are ready for a studio song to analyze I suggest Shoemaker - Official Lyric Video. It's a fantastic song to analyze. Enjoy your Nightwish journey!

Floor the lead singer has had some classical training and is a 6’1” Dutch vocal beast!Id say it’s best to react to their live performances every time rather than studio tracks...they’re definitely a live band and you get a lot more from their live performances than their album tracks...Nightwish songs range across Rock,Celtic,Operatic,Thrash and Folk,lots of variety and styles to choose from. If you want a few more suggestions for a bit more of Nightwish then try these.Theyre all from the Wacken,Wembley and Tampere shows and great quality 👍 Floor is also doing a Dutch show called Beste Zangers where singers sing songs that have special meaning for each other...worth a look I Don’t know a thing about love ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ahykaAPHhs8.html Que siente ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DfYeLUoqw0E.html Shallow Vilja lied I Want My Tears Bac ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ga-hR7CYbwQk.html...Celtic Rock vibe Romanticide....Heavy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zz_7OCCQlXs.html Last Ride Of The Day...Pure fun and energy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QzIMx7Dqa_M.html Greatest Show On Earth...Epic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-45brzDJKZ3o.html Sleeping Sun...Beautiful ballad ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rsotlzr9wNw.html Story Time...Lively and fun ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pvkYwOJZONU.html EverDream...poppy rock ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YwGSAFarHRg.html Shudder Before The Beautiful...Heavy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7oQ8sNSYXmQ.html Yours Is An Empty Hope...Very heavy with Floor growling 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XtXqUNB8zrU.html Poet And The Pendulum...Epic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gbn9GczYBkw.html Weak Fantasy...Heavy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AN239Pbqbjo.html Ghost River...Heavy(ish) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-05eitd-EA6I.html Song Oru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lQu5QjidHWgf.html Myself...Heavy AF Seven Days To The Wolves... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XvsfwAPbWXc.html If you want a hard rocking Floor check out Disdain by her old band Revamp.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tIqzPXzhEuw.html If you want something completely different but still Symphonic Metal then try Sancta Terra by Epica which has Floor as guest vocalist in a duet with Epica’s female vocalist Simone Simmons...awesome stuff(They Use a full orcheustra as backing in that one) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cx22Yuj2nzg.html

It's just great seeing people experiencing Nightwish for the first time. It makes me relive the jaw dropping amazement I felt myself when I first heard them (and rediscovering them with Floor). Welcome to the Army!

Ann already got you the history of the band, so won't go anywhere near there. As a guitarist and classically trained bassoonist, I'll join you on the technical/music theory side of things. Just so you know, the opening first 3 bars is in 6/8 time, then switches to 1 bar of 5/8, then back to 6/8 again. Think a triplet feel, then you'll get it. Then when the band kicks in the meter changes to Common time (4/4) then switches to 3/4 then back to 4/4. Towards the middle of the song, you got it right with that 6/8 feel, so when you go back to the beginning and count it out, if you add in that one bar of 5/8 then go back to 6/8, you'll have it. You got the feel of like some old time viking type pub vibe? you should react to Nighwish's song "The Islander", live at Tampere 2015, and "I Want My Tears Back" at this very Wacken show. That will get you that feel. As for other songs, You already hit Romanticide. I'll go ahead and suggest the song "Yours is an Empty Hope", at Wembley 2015. Do *NOT* choose the one from the Nightwish cruise; the reason to not choose that one is because Floor's mix in the corus isn't turned up as much as needed to hear her (you'll realize why), and you don't get to see her as she's singing the chorus. Just to note: in that song, Marko (the bassist) is singing clean. That's all I'll say. If you keep down this Nightwish rabbit hole, you'll find some damn good stuff. Enjoy the ride, because you're in for it!!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the music and the performance. I will recommend a handful of songs and I believe your channel will blow up from these reactions. I've seen it before haha. So here are my recommendations: Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean- Live Buenos Aires Ghost River- Live Waken Storytime- official live video with nuclear blast records Yours is an Empty Hope- Live Wembley Dead Boy's Poem- Live Buenos Aires Ever Dream- Live Waken The Greatest Show on Earth- Live Romanticide- Live Waken Fun fact: Floor is not their original vocalist. The first singer was Tarja Turunen followed by Anette Olzon. I wouldn't compare them because they are all very different vocalists and have their own strengths. Floor is by far my all time favorite singer. And if you want a taste of some other styles she has sung, check out Beste Zangers: Que se Siente, Winner, Shallow, Phantom of the Opera, Vilja lied. Thanks for reacting to this :)

My interpretation of the song is as follows: it’s a love story in three parts, infatuation, betrayal, and a cry for redemption. The first part of the song is idyllic and hopeful, new lovers enjoying their time together. Then along comes the “siren” tempting one of them away. They resist, but slowly succumb to the temptation and fall to the seduction (the orchestral interlude). The betrayal is discovered and angry words are thrown between the two, leading to separation. Finally, the betrayer seeks to mend the relationship and reconcile and the remainder of the song is a cry for redemption and hope to regain what was lost.

I just found this band last year. Nightwish needs more exposure in the states !!! Awesome to see how many people love this band. You have a lot to catch up on my friend. Enjoy 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Oh no, you did it!! NIGHTWISH TIME, prepare to binge watch for the next 8 months!!

We want more Nightwish! Please (Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean live in Buenos Aires! Hail from Brazil!

#2 Canadian Charts is Nightwish now!

Greetings from Finland🤘 Nightwish's homeland 💙. The greatest band on earth right noe💙

Well, as you have probably noticed, we have Nightwish Army commenting all over your comment section. So first answer, Nightwish is a Finnish "MegaBand" that headlines the category of Symphonic Metal. The leader is Tuomas Holopainen (keyboardist, cofounder and writer of majority of the song of the band since it's birth in 1996), guitarist Emppu Vourinen (cofounder), bassist Marco Hietala (ex-Tarot, acoustic guitar and also vocalist), drummer Kai Hahto (current drummer, ex-Wintersun, and one of the best drummer in the world today), main vocalist Floor Jansen (Ducth-born, citizen of Sweden, ex-After Forever/ReVamp, probably yhe widest/wildest range vocalist living today), and the one you haven't seen is Troy Donockley (multi instrumentalists and vocalist). So, this band has unique characteristics of having 4 vocalists (3 acitve), 4 guitarist (3 active), 6 song writers, 9 albums circa 1996 - 2020. The clock came from their 7th album, Imaginaerum (2012), which was the tour you were watching, Ghost Love Score was part of their 6th album, Once (2008) with their first (original) vocalist Tarja Turunen. Ghost Love Score was about destructive love, hence the chorus. Recommendation:. I believe you would love to react and most likely will be included in your own playlist: ROMANTICIDE from Wacken 2013 Showtime, Storytime tour. This song presented Nightwish metal prowess as well as both vocalists (Floor Jansen and Marco Hietala) powerful duets. Do beware of the term FLOORGASM coz the word born starting with Floor Jansen joining the band. Floorgasm means the goosebumps or creeping eargasmic sensations you got from Floor Jansen vocal delivery. Nightwish, since the 7th album mentioned themselves as Vehicle of Spirits (which became the 8th album tour name) and Edema Ruh (bard-like band who travels and tells stories). Currently, they have just released 9th album on April 10th called Hvman:||:Natvre, which is probably their best album by majority fans' commentary. The album has 10 songs, 9 in CD1, Song no 10 is 31 minutes long in CD2. The next recommended song to react after Romanticide is The Greatest Show On Earth from Wembley's Vehicle of Spirits show in 2015. Have fun.

New album was released a few weeks ago, so there is even more excellent music for you to listen :) Looking forward to your next Nightwish reaction, really enjoyed this one 🤘

Great reaction, you were smiling all the way trough. And Nigtwish army already found you. The hole band is epic. And don't worry, there are al lot of songs from Nightwish left (but always do the live version, Wacken 2013, Tempera Bounos Aeres or Wembley) - Romaticide (check) - Song of Myself (check) - Everdream - Storytime (check) - Yours is a empty hope - Ghost River - 7 days to the wolves - Last ride of the day - 10Th man down - Dead boys poem - Devil and the deep dark ocean - Slaying the dreamer - Shudder before the beautiful - The poet and the pendulum -The greatest show on earth Please check out Beste Zangers where you can hear the versatilty of Floor - Vilja (German) - Que se siente (Spanisch) - Mama (Dutch) - Winner - Shallow -Shallow (duet with Tim Akkerman) - Phantom of the opera (duet with Henk Poort, he was the Dutch phantom in the 90's)

Nightwish is an extraordinary gifted and skilled live band!! :)

They are from Finland. The biggest band of Finland. The Lead singer (Her name ls Floor) is Dutch. She is the third singer of Nightwish. The First one was Tarja Turunen (Opera style) The second one was Anette Olzon (More of a pop/rock style) And now Floor Jansen (About every style there is) The music is composed by modern day Mozart: Tuomas Holopainen (Plays keyboards) He also writes most of the lyrics. There is many opinions whatbthis song is about. I think it's about one sided love.

Not only were they at Wacken, they were one of the headliners. ;) I believe the crowd that came to see them numbered 82,000 people in total. Nightwish is famous here in Europe, and one of the old metal legends. Of course they'd get one of the best timeslots at Wacken, they've earned it a million times over.

I first heard this band on one of Sam Dunn's Episodes of Metal Evolution in 2011, they interviewed Tarja( who was not in the band at the time) and Tuamos and played a Video," Nemo'" I believe , which i thought, was a damn good song.. I'm 68 years old, love hard rock, and until recently (covid) played in clubs around LA. So i'm locked down at home last Spring watching a lot of RU-vid, and I come across Nightwish live in Bueno's Aires" Ghost Love Score", with Floor Janson singing. and I was stunned, This band was so tight and Janson's vocals brought me to tears. She is a Goddess!

It is one of these bands where all members are equals, even if Tuomas, keyboard, is the soul of the band (writer and composer). Welcome in Nightwish world! You're gonna love it! It's a long journey. I want to propose you, since you've met Floor, to take a look at the first singer, Tarja, with The Phantom of the Opera (End of an Era concert) and listen to their new material with Music or Shoemaker (masterpiece).

Most of the band is from Finland. The vocalist Floor Jansen is Dutch, but is living in Sweden together with the drummer of Sabaton. :) Congrats on your first floorgasm.

They were the headline act for Wacken 2013.

A big influence on Tuomas (the keyboardist and main composer) is British / Celtic folk and it eventually led him to invite Uillean pipes / whistle guitar player Troy Donockley to join the band full time. He is in this show but at that time wasn't fulltime on stage. Nowadays he is most of the show and also adds backing vocals and on the new album he even sings lead. Nightwish might not be known that much in the US / Canada but they are THE biggest band in their home country Finland and their new album went to #1 in Finland and Germany and does really well all over Europe. It even broke into the top 5 in the Netherlands (lead singer Floor Jansen's home country) where up to a year ago hardly anyone, certainly in the mainstream music press, had time for Nightwish. That all changed because she was asked to be part of a program called Beste Zangers in which a bunch of professional singers record a series of tv shows in which every episode features another vocalist but instead of him / her singing it is the other ones that are singing for him / her either that persons songs or ones they feel are special for them. Upto that show hardly anyone knew Floor Jansen in the Netherlands except those in the metal scene (she had a very seccesfull band called After Forever before she was asked to join Nightwish) but that changed overnight after just one episode. If you want to explore her vocal talents and see what else she can do (and she can do A LOT) then check out her Beste Zangers videos, they are all over RU-vid.

Hail to the queen Floor.Jansen , supreme soprano, supreme singer metal.

Hi!! They're awesome. You should really reaction to "The Poet and the Pendulum", but first read what it's about. You won't regret it and we're gonna enjoy your reaction so much. Regards from Argentina.

I loved your reaction tonight...and I have seen many over the last year for this specific song. It just never gets old. Please do Romanticide next from this same concert! It has a harder vibe and is awesome!

16 year old song still blowing peoples minds, and this song wasn't even wrote for Floor, that's Nightwish and that's music genius of Tuomas Holopainen

Please have a look at Nightwish, The Greatest Show on Earth (Live at Tampere). UNBELIEVABLE !!

YES been waiting for this. About to watch!

Keep doing Wacken 2013. Every song is an experience. Romanticide, Storytime, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders, Ghost River.

The original singer was Tarja, they started with the drummer (who quit in this video cause of Insomnia), and they are from Finland. Floor Jansen, replaced the former replacement of Tarja, is Dutch (me too), and I will finally, FINALLY see them live (hopefully XXX) in November, in Amsterdam Ziggodome :D

Song of Myself Wacken 2013 The bassist Marko sings with Floor. Marko's voice is amazing.

Fantastic reaction!! Incredible musicians and Floor is the queen! :)

Pleeeease, react to The Poet and the Pendulum, Live Wembley Arena! I promisse you that, as always, Nightwish will blow your mind.

Nightwish is a rabbit hole you would want to absolutely go deep into my friend. These guys are from Finland and Floor Jansen is from the Netherlands. You are about to be absolutely Floored if you continue watching the band !!

You can see the lyrics on the video . Nightwish are from Finland , Floor Jensen the sibger is Dutch , she is married to the Sabaton drummer

Amazing reaction! If you like this, please consider listening/reacting to Epica & floor jansen - sancta terra, or perhaps other live sons by Epica, it's another band that has a dutch singer. And she's really powerfull too. If you want to continue your nightwish journey, which is great too, consider listening to yours is a dying hope, or song of myself.Both the live versions, always the live versions with great bands in this genre like Epica, nightwish or Within Temptation

you might want to try "the greatest show on earth live in tampere" soon too.

Great reaction. Thank you. Nightwish is a lifetime journey. They are one of a kind. Band playin so tight and Floor is Floor. Enjoy the ride. Greets from Finland ❤️🤘🏼😎🇫🇮❤️🤘🏼😎🇫🇮

Great reaction, thank's! To me Nightwish is top musicians, great craftsmanship, poetry and one of the best voices in the world. Strong emotions, sometimes tears and very often chills all over is the price I pay. Please react to more Nightwish. I think you'll like "Romanticide" from the same concert. It's heavier, less symphonic though. If you want them long epic songs go for "Greatest show on Earth" and "Poet and the pendulum". If you want more of Floor's versitile voice watch her performances on "Beste Zangers 2019" - so much magic. /Stay healthy!

"Do you know Syrens?" "Oh, yeah, I heard Nightwish"

05:00 Nightwish was the headline band for this concert...

"Vocalist is talented".... understatement of the century.

Yes it is located in Germany! Wacken is a small village with around 5.000 inhabitants in northern Germany. This show was witnessed by over 80.000 crazy metalheads and I was lucky to be one of them. This was an epic show. Every song from this live DVD is just insane! On my list of best concerts of all time this is on number 3, only toped by Queen (live in Muinich 1986) and TOOL (live in Berlin last year). This was one of this moments where everything fits just perfect. The audience, the band, the weather. We call Floor (singer of Nightwish) the Metal Goddess and it is well deserved. Nightwish is from Finland, Floor is from the Netherlands. Tuomas (Keys) writes over 90% of the music and lyrics. He is a genius. Wanna hear something really epic? Take a look at "The Greatest Show On Earth" live in Tampere. I would also recommend some other songs from this Wacken show: Song Of Myself, Ever Dream, Nemo, ... pick any. I guess "some" others will flood your channel with requests. The Nightwish-Army is huge! Last but not least I recommend a ballad, "Sleeping Sun" live in Tampere. Greets from Germany!

For another great Finish metal band, listen to Wintersun "Sons of winter and stars" live Sonic Pump Studios. And more Nightwish please 😁 Cheers from Portugal.

Came for Nightwish stayed for the reaction and subbed cause you got Floored lol.

Years ago, I read a message in our newspaper that the Rock Academy was opened in our city of Tilburg. Floor was one of the first students there. LOL. She was also born in the village of Goirle, next to Tilburg. A great woman who has come this far, a personality that gives people floorgasm despite her youth or through her youth. (She was/is tall and has moved several times to another villages and also schools)

Number 5 in album list in the USA right now!

To next Nightwish : Yours is an empty hope . More to my taste

You have to react to “The Greatest Show on Earth” amazing

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!

There are about 120 Nightwish songs now, before you get into solo stuff and concerts. Seriouly, sit the students down, play them the Nightwish catalog... They call the guy that writes all these (Tuomas Holopainen the keyboard player) the metal mozart. There is one song called The greatest show on earth, which may as well be the greatest song on earth. 24 minutes of musical genius at work.

Music Teacher still never heared of this song ....
