Just when you thought it couldn't get any better with Nightwish, this one hits you like a juggernaut! The whole band were on fire here and Floor's vocals are insanely good. On the Floorgasm scale 1 to 10, this one's an eleven!
Marko's Devil character is amorously pursuing Floor's Mermaid character. She is having none of it. This is a pre -Marko song. From the 2nd album ,Oceanborn. Recorded in 1998 with Tarja, guest male vocals by Tapio Wilska, and Sami Vanska on bass. No, they haven't played it recently. If we haven't mentioned it before, this show was on the Decades tour, where they played a lot of older songs. Since you loved Floor's vocal styles in this, you should try Yours Is an Empty Hope, the Wembley 2015 is the most recommended version.
Can you imagine the time, when you can listen Nightwish without making reaction of it. Then, you can really enjoy their music. And that big beautiful smile is there forever.
YEAH HOLLY SH*T !! this is THE performance in this song.. I f*ckin love it. The power of this song and their voices \m/ im never tired of this piece of art
This song is an absolute banger 🤘😎🤘. Kai's drumming on this is just crazy ( Kai Hahto "The Human Metronome", or in my book Kai "The Machine Gun" Hahto )!!! In one interview Tuomas/Marko said that Floor has a lungs of a dolphin (That long note is 💥)!!! Plus, she holds the last note (A4) of Nightwish - Ad Astra for 17 seconds (10/6/2022 Sweden Festival). If this wasn't impressive enough, I can also add than now she's just one, I mean ONE, second short from equaling Pavarotti's longest belt ever recorded. So,.... Nuff Said !!!! NWSU 🤘😎🤘
Rocked my world, but there's a "but" in my view: this was before Nightwish leaned to not put every good idea to a single song. Not a criticism, just an observation, I enjoyed the song immensely. Floor and Marco set the mood above that dirty raspy rhythm guitar of Emppu's. And my special mention goes to Kai Hahto the drummer, who executes the drumline like it was nothing! There are personal preferences between the two drummers*, but mine is Kai (perhaps too clean and clinical for some tastes, but just perfect for me). *I Know Jukka performed through rampant insomnia and terrible migraines, I would have thrown in the towel way before he did. But he's a performer and a musician, in that profession tapping out is sacrilege. Kudos to Jukka for all the years, your showmanship was second to none, and the drumming superb, And maybe the drum skins can avoid another beating to within inches of their lives😃.
Been waiting for this one, love the song, love you, agree with everything you said after the song. FLOOR did her own concert back at the beginning of 2022 in Amsterdam. You need to hear a few songs from this one (slow love slow)(face your demon's)(storm in a glass)(sweet cruse)all very good, PLEASE..LOL
Hey Jinger, you know? There's a slightly longer version of this video where Floor and Tuomas can be seen sharing some of his bottle of red wine, and all that exchange between them looks so cute and funny, while Marko Is doing his "dramatic" intro lol
Great reaction as always! Please react to The Poet And The Pendulum and/or The Greatest Show on Earth. We can’t wait anymore!!! We’re hungry for that!!! It’s time!!! Let’s go! ;)
That's one of my favorite videos from them.. been anxious for you to see it. 😎👍 total music theater in this song. Hope this damn storm is treating you well today. It's been hitting us pretty good here this morning, Absolute hoot watching your reaction and obligatory "FUCK YEAH" moment😆🤣 Rock on my friend
Thank you my friend! We are on the tail end of it now. Hoping to get some sleep soon. The wind kept me up all night! Hope she moves quickly for you! Take care!
HELLO 👋 yeah Is me again!!! This one is one of my favorites Talking about Growls please check DISDAIN Floor's last band REVAMP or yours is an empty hope and you can see the growling VALKYRIE GODDESS Cheers from COSTA RICA DIVISION 🤘💀🇨🇷
When the shivers and smile, pair up with profanities...then I know that you are on a high! 😃🎸🤘 Keep the "strong" words coming. It ads extra layers in the expressions. Thank you Amanda for being true to yourself and to us. I love it. And I love you for now giving us 2/week. Much Love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
The album version was unremarkable performance-wise. Tapio Wilska just didn't have it and Tarja could not do those glissandi or the vocal variation (the grit you mentioned for example). Live, after Marko joined, I haven't yet got a video for but Tarja still would have done something similar to the album I imagine. I'll see of I can find one as, after Floor and Marco reimagined ot for the Decades tour (which this is from) it rapidly rose to number 4 in my favourites. Obviously the music was there before but the Marco/Floor partnership brought to light the hidden genius behind the writing, for me. The drumming in this is madness - those missed beats when Floor does the slightly off-beat vocal onset, for example, but throughout, in fact. No, it is not currently performed. It was played a lot on the Summer of Wilderness and Oceanborn tours, back in 1999 but then dropped out (unsurprisingly given my previous comments) until this Decades tour in 2018/19. It was played 82 times in that tour, but sadly dropped again for the current tour. Well, there are so many great songs, they can't keep playing all the old ones or they couldn't do the new material without extending the concerts to 4 hours! And there are songs Tuomas has said he can't imagine performing again since Marco left (though that may, hopefully, change at some time).
That pice of art fricking fxxing amazing..its' one of their top shots..love the speed and timing of everything! AND your smile is impossible to forget 😍😁 fricking fxxing amazing too 🤘🤘#nightwishhighismydrug 😉😁
Hi Jynger! I really like this song, i've seen NW 3 times live but live i didn't saw this song. I'm not sure, did you react the NW song "The poet and the pendulum", live from Wembley '15? I don't think so. I hope you look this song, i really would like an reaction from you from this song and it's one of the longer NW songs, about 14 min and in 4 acts. Floors singing is always amazing but she did in this song a great job. I like your NW reactions and i can't wait for your next! I wish you only the best and send you lovely greetings from Vienna! Bye Jynger! 🖤💋🤘
THE Decead tour live in Buenos Aires Agentina 2018 is a liddel Roadtrip in the Nightwish History. DEVIL AND THE DEEP DARK OZEAN IS FROM the Album Oceanborn from n1998
Just last night, I learned that a dive into non-biblical ancient sources (Book of Enoch, Book of Giants, Book of Jubilee, and Genesis B) reveals strong ties between the devil, the nephilim, and the human mothers of the nephilim, cursed as sirens of the deep, dark ocean. Much like Dante's Divine Comedy, these books may have been elaborate Enoch fan fiction tied loosely to Genesis, or Genesis may have been written with a brief summary of Enoch's tales already in mind as part of Israel's origin story. Either way, I freshly realized again just how deep Tuomas goes with his lyrics! Thanks for a great, interestingly-timed start to my day!
A few weeks back you said you had 8 songs on the list until the best of them all the Greatest show on earth. I’m not sure what is on that list but there are still easily another 8-10 you should be doing as they are all better than the last bunch you’ve done. Shudder before the beautiful-Wembley 7 day to the wolves -Wembley Nemo - Wacken Last ride of the day - Wacken Noise - official music video Elan - Buenos Aires Weak fantasy - Tampere Yours is an empty hope - Wembley Poet and Pendulum - Wembley
Jinger!!! That song is an overwhelming train without brakes... the power imposed by the battery is devastating, and the musicality slides without limits, in addition to telling a fascinating story! In my top 10 of NW songs for a long time, it's almost perfect, even though it wasn't written for Floor's voice, she transforms it into something magnificent. Thanks for reacting to my favorite Nightwish songs!
That's a classic, from the early days of the band with Tarja, and it even predates Marco. Floor handles it well, of course. By the way, I had my Jinjer concert last night, with P.O.D., Vended, and Space of Variations. My hearing may take a day or two to fully recover, my rib cage was vibrating from the bass players all night, and Tatiana was even more attractive in person, which I didn't think possible. I'm exhausted but happy.
A 20-year-old song, but now a new version. Both male and female singers have changed. But I love this version! And as you can see, many others love it too!
I enjoyed it a lot, Jynger, one of my favorite songs, an amazing song, thank you to react to this one, nice reaction, the duet is marvelous story telling, and the speed of the song is Amazing. Love you, Jynger, till next 🤩.
It is such a pleasure to watch your Nightwish reactions - and I love your expression 'Nightwish-high' - it's spot on 👌. Your happiness while listening are so addictive - your smile coming from your heart, battling with your eyes on which is the happiest. Wonderful and powerful as well. Great reaction from you 👍 🤘 🤘
Waking up with a Nightwish-high and your Nightwish-smile is so much fun! Hell, yeah! Another absolute banger, but I have to disappoint you. They don't play this one anymore without Marko. There are a few songs where Floor sings his part in the current tour. And she does that amazing, but that's no surprise. My favorite Nightwish song is "Planet Hell" and then particularly the current tour-version, where Floor does her and Marko's part. You'll love that one too!
Yeah I thought about that after I recorded the reaction lol! Of course they can’t play it now! Glad you got started on the right foot this morning my friend!!
Knew you’d like this one. Thanks for kicking my work day into high gear. Looking forward to 7 days to the wolves, that’s one of my (and Floor’s) favorites
@@JyngerSlapz there are so many more good ones not on the list, too. Anyway, could you do me a teensy favor and fix the spelling of my last name on your vids? Want to FULLY support the channel in presence and name. 😁😎
I’ve been waiting for this one. One of my absolute favorites! An incredible performance. And I love the perpetual smile ever growing the entire duration of the song. I would also highly recommend “Elan” from this same concert, Buenos Aires 2018 And the song/performance “Yours is an Empty Hope” live at Wembley
Totally forgot it was nightwish day, Great to see you enjoying these songs and we get to see your Nightwish Smile. priceless! Couldnt make the twitch live on tuesday, will try to get on the next one.
As far as them still playing this.. Probably not unless they bring in a male vocalist, I don't think Troy could pull that off. He's more of a gnome than a demon lol. BTW, before they had Marco, these heavy male roles were filled by Tuomas's friend Wilksa in the studio and on stage. You can find the Tarja and Wilksa version live on From Wishes to Eternity :) And yeah, the old stuff was fun.
Fan-Fukkin-Tastic. Love your reactions, they reflect the Nightwish Army Warriors very own experiences, that's why we're here. Support for a fellow Warrior. You're in the Army now 🐯 Have a great day and an even better evening.
Hello !! Please, check out and made a reaction video on "NITA STRAUSS - The Wolf You Feed ft. Alissa White-Gluz (Official Music Video)" !! It's AWESOME !!! 🤩🤩♥♥
Going to see them in just 10 days - can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. That's of course if Floor is fully recovered. I'm with you about the Nightwish smile - so THAT'S why people have been looking at me strangely every day for the last 2 years - must have such a grin on my face !!😅 🙃 As always take good care of yourself 😃
Hopefully she has made a full recovery❤️ and you will get to enjoy an amazing night of Nightwish!! Take care and I can’t wait to hear about the show!!!
I love your irradiated laughter when you listen to Nightwish. You are 100% mutated into a Nightwish Junckie.Welcome to the addicts' club.Greetings,Kelsea
Hi Jynger, Love "Nightwish Day" always looking forward to the next song and your reaction! Hell yeah girl🤘 If you want to hear Floor before Nightwish check out her band ReVamp, as Floor would say for "something more heavy" Disdain - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iNSf64M9uA0.html Thanks for the NW reaction, and keep smiling!!
Just a small observation: perhaps put the names of both your (new) patreons and YT members centered onto one splash screen, and show it just a bit longer. Now those two screens fly by quite quickly. I'm sure showing your viewers won't mind seeing/reading the patreon and YT member listing a second or two longer.
Usual smiley face, still no tissues, I get quite reminiscent when I watch rock bands I'm from the UK when I was a young sprocket we had a clothes shop in Nottingham called void, alternative clothing I had so many clothes, like Floors hard to believe now I'm too old to wear such things, I was tall and thin too. So Jinger and everyone grab your youth by the balls and live it I'm glad I did. Wonderful reaction as always.
You should check out How’s the Heart the Acoustic version , and Phanthom of the Opera with Floor on Beste Zangers ,Floor will blow you away in both songs
Nightwish have some kick ass songs, but not really one of my favorite bands. Floor Jansen is one hell of a singer though. Wishing her a speedy recovery from her recent cancer operation...... .
It's a real highlight from this Decades tour, I thought it was the best from the old picks together with Dead Boy's Poem. The story and the setting of the song are quite dramatic, which suits Floor perfectly. I'm not sure if they played this since the Decades tour, but now without Marco it's just not going to work out... They'd have to get a new male vocalist at a similar level to even try it again.
for a long time this way far and away my fave nightwish performance. interestingly enough though, i cant stand the studio version. like, its probably in my bottom 3 NW songs. but this performance does it for me, glad you enjoyed it too! another similar song (possibly) is the pharoah sails to orion. theres a live version with tarja from way back thats pretty good. looking forward to saturday 😎
This is definitely in my top 3 Nightwish songs. Between Floor's vocal gymnastics, Kai's drumming, Marco's singing, Toumas's composition, and Empuu's riffs... A perfect song. Knew you would love this one.
This wasn’t a favourite of mine until just now, seeing your reaction and the major “Floorgasm” you experienced, made me see the real joy in the performance, so thanks for that!,
thank you ! i am reliving my yourney thanks to you! your smile is fantastic again, thats one of the reasons i am a happy member!! please keep going, lots of fun to come... hope you take the big one someday..... greetz from the netherlands
The way Marko and Floor perform it, it's almost like there telling a suspense horror movie in someway. That scream she does I think we all need to change our underwear, the Floorgasm are so intense!
