Nightwish - Ever Dream (Live) REACTION | Metal Band Reacts! 

It is a pleasure to meet your new band-mate, and drag him in the NW band wagon with you 3. This song is one of my favorite, thanks. See you around.

Everyone say it with me, "as usual Emppu plays his signature EV 1" (Emppu Vuorinen)

And floor doesn’t breathe, she just has a magical portal inside her, that more air appears inside her, on demand. I’m convinced of that.

Floor has said that this song is one of the more challenging for her to sing. This is your bass player guy's first live Nightwish? You are going to have to show him all the songs you have already done. Or just make him go watch all your videos. And when he's caught up, lol, try Ghost River or 7 Days to the Wolves

Happy to have you back with Nightwish, "Seven Days TO the Wolves" for the beanie.

Guitar Rig - Kemper Profiler with a custom profile he made in his friend’s studio based off a Mesa Dual Rec and a Bogner Uberschall. Cab on stage is just for presence for himself. Impressive guess 🤟

Nightwish is one of the reasons why i’m proud to be finnish 😎

You want a fun song by Nightwish to react too, watch " I want my tears back" BUT! Make sure it's from their Buenos Aires show. ( 2018 I believe it was) You'll love the first 90 seconds or so. You know those Buenos Aires crowds 😉😉

This had always been my favorite Ever Dream performance, but the way they're performing it on their current tour has transplanted it by far. Kai has added in a bunch of cool drum variations, and Floor is holding those last notes literally full seconds longer/stronger if you can believe that to be possible. Rock on guys!

It's his signature EV-1 ESP.

Emppu's guitar is his own signature model: the ESP EV-1. It is based on the ESP Horizon series guitars which have been in production since the 1980s. What sets it apart from other Horizon series guitars from the technical standpoint is the HSH pickup configuration (which you've surely noticed), while other Horizons usually have only two humbuckers. The pickups are Seymour Duncans: SH-2 in the neck position, SHR-1 in the middle and TB-5 in the bridge. Other specs: alder body, plain maple top, neck-through construction, maple neck (probably thin U), ebony fretboard, 25.5 inch scale, 24 frets, Floyd Rose tremolo, one knob (possibly tone) and a 5-way switch. There are also EV-2 and EV-3 models. The EV-2 was a special model for the Dark Passion Play album and is almost identical to the EV-1, but it has some artwork on the body and different badging. However, most importantly, it was available to the public as a limited production special, so you could potentially find and buy one, they are very rare though. The EV-3 was basically a standard Horizon with, again, some special artwork.

Floor has said this is the most challenging NW song for her to sing, because of the high sustained belting. still kills it every time. 82,000 were in attendance for Mr Bass Player. diggin the Vader tee. Awesome job as always. stay out of trouble you crazy kids.

The man who shaved his balls for this was almost right. Emppu plays his signature ESP EV (Emppu Vuorinen) through a Kemper profiling amp using mainly profiles of a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, but profiles of Bogner and Engl amps as well. The 4x12" cab isn't mic'd up. It's only there to create some feedback and to function as a beer coaster.

9:10 Jukka is a wizzard in getting you offguard in a song...as a drummer.. like.. you tap your foot along the bassdrum, and just when you think youo follow him, he goes somewhere else... intruiging drummer, and no one does it like jukka Nevalainen can. Very underrated drummer, full of surprises

Big Nightwish hit from 2002. Obviously radio friendly. Great call! Definitely Tarja era.

The Singing Lady = Queen Of The Belt 👑 📣

yes, finally another Nightwish reaction :D was waiting for that for a loooong time :)

Empuu playes his signature EV-1 wich is based off of the ESP Horizon And Marco playes his Warwick Vampyre 4 string bass.

Missed you guys - glad you are back! Nice reaction as always.

You guys are awesome! Im glad to see a new band member! Keep the rock going on!

Glad you did new Nightwish reactions again. Always love your reactions

Found your music through these Nightwish reactions :) Really like your stuff! Hope you do more Nightwish. New guy has a lot of catching up to do ;)

You guys are comedic gold Awesome reaction as always I don't know anything about gear but it's still fun to listen to you all, whatever you're talking about

Emppu's amp Anthony ? Kemper, the Marshall cab is just for feedback and sustain the tech and sound people spent a couple of days in the studio brainstorming the settings, it's DI'd from the Kemper.

Please come back! Love from 🇫🇮

Well done! Thanks for another fine reaction and. . . welcome back my friends to the show that never ends.

Good to see you back listening to Nightwish. Always considered your reaction to Ghost Love Score a classic!

Thanks for returning to Nightwish. Love your reactions. ♥️ 🤘 😘

Great to finally have you back reacting to Nightwish! Please react to “Seven days to the Wolves” (Wembley 2015) and “Last ride of the day” (Wacken 2013) soon. Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

Nice to see you again 👍🏻

Had a (metric) ton of fun with this, you people are in your personal interactions very entertaining to just hear and watch. With the new player, like before I expect you to hit it out of the park at least every second pitch. And that's all I can ever wish for in a react ensemble, everyone's got their individual areas of expertise and individual tastes. What I love about this song is the slow buildup (I'm a sucker of buildups), and finally the doble bass familiar and standard rhythm, with Floor's stunning vocals. We all know Marco is an accomplished singer, but here he shines with those tenor notes. No wonder this is one of their classics.

Welcome back! :)

It's great to see you again. I've missed you. Ok, enough with the sappy stuff. haha. Great review as always, even with the mega guitar nerd moment. haha. Love from Florida.

Yessss my favorite! Still haven’t processed seeing it live😅

Thank you for reacting to Nightwish. Love you guys... 🤘

thanks god !! another Nw reaction

Wacken Open Air Festival in 2013 saw 82,000+/- attendees. I have missed you nutz.

I really enjoy watching your reactions.

welcome back Pikers. good reaction from Colorado.

Nightwish - Devil and the deep dark ocean (buenos aires official live)!

Hey ! You kids are back, nice to see you all and hope you're all doing well.

I love you guys!

Awesome!👍🤟

A new reaction finally , tissue thank god

if y love Nightwish y must react to (I Want My Tears Back ) @ Decades - Live In Buenos Aires 2019 is so fu´n an i think you always stand up an jump ! i

Floor’s belting masterclass

🤗🍒👍🏻I'm glad you're back, by the way, it's about time haha

Was around 85000 people there

6:10 is still my favorite part. Marko just riding in the pocket, whole body moving, just absolutely feeling it 🤘

Lol… love you knuckleheads ! ❤️

9:45 you mentioned Tarja era... go "Know Why The nightinggale Sings" Emppu lays an insane solo down, as does Tuomas !!!

There was a 3 and a half minute music video ad for a band that popped during my view of this reaction and I didn’t catch the bands name but they were really good and it’s driving me crazy trying to find the ad again. I’m not a Nightwish fan but I appreciate what they bring to music. Floor has an incredible vocal. And Marko too… maybe he’ll rejoin some day. Hopefully he’s finding mental peace with his time away.

All the Nightwish fans that still lament the absence of Tarja amaze me. She's still around, doing her thing. Her sound is not gone, she is still creating music and performing. Her sound is not my favorite, but that's irrelevant. Same goes for Annette. Both these ladies are greatly talented. Floor, on the other hand, took the musical genius of Tuomas to a level it would never have reached without her unique gifts. I also believe Floor would never have reached her full potential without the greatness of Tuomas Holopainen. This does not detract from the greatness of Nightwish prior to the Floor era. They just simply reached a new---ultimate---level after her arrival. What I see as the truly damaging loss was not Tarja. It was Marko. His vocals were the perfect compliment to Floor. Yes, he complimented Tarja and Annette as well. But again, it all goes back to Floor. All these artists will hopefully continue to live long and prosper. 🖖I just hate to see the perfect line-up not currently in place.

Hey guys, the beanie requires LOVEBITES. They are divine virtuosos. “Holy war” and/or “Swan song”. These will be some ride. Really recommend. Also great review, Nightwish is eternal🤘🏻 and welcome to your new bandmate:)

Epic !!

Jokes are still really bad so i have to click the like button. Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean (Live In Buenos Aires)

YES FINALLY!!!!

I can tell its been a while for all of yall to be together in the vid, because ol' girl looks different

Awesome that you're back reacting to NW!! Add to the binnie: NIGHTWISH - Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean - Live In Buenos Aires [Gabriel's link] Keep them coming!!

From what I know, Emppu has been using Kemper for several years now. Also, I appreciate the comments regarding frequencies dude, I'm also kinda getting into that lol

😭😭😭 love you

82,000 in attendance.

Tribal, Pan, Noise from Nightwish, awesome lyric videos for those.

Amazing reaction as always. I'd love to see yall react to Orden Ogan "Let the fire rain". Keep up the good times

Hi welcome back to Nightwish ! 😀 My suggestion for the beanie is: the whole Human Nature Album! The complete album is great, I particullarly like Pan. The official lyric video’s are very nice, and there is some recent live footage from fans out there. Please check it out!💕🤘🏻

Nightfish rulz!

Yeah this song is really structured to let the vocals carry the story and the feel.

The warrior queen takes no prisoners...

Floor: "Would you do it with me?" Me: "Is that a trick question?"

Thanks

Good one.

Pretty sure Emppu is using a Kemper, so it could be whatever he damn well wants from the insane suite of amp models. On the stage, his only cab is that giant beer coaster of his. It is activated whenever he wants to add some feedback (also when he needs a drag on that Corona). I hear that their front-of-stage wedges are more for posturing and footrests, and that some are empty... they get the FOH mix and midi-beats in their in-ears. I am hearing a little Mesa Dual Recto in there, but I can get the same by pushing my Empress Heavy into the H&K GrandMeisterSlammer (I split the pre-amp juice between the two, so it's easier for me to back off, say, a preset on the H&K and get some pseudo-cleans when needed.... personally, I'd also add in a Spiral Brute fuzz just for some kicking it into burlap-sack-shredding goodness (you can get close with a DOD Carcosa, if you tried, but the Brute is moar nastier).

I want that shirt😂😂😂

You should also check the original live version with Tarja

5:33 Continues to give me goosebumps

oh, hei Twon On Emppu's frequency focus.... the arrangement is set up so Floor is all alone in the 330-850 Hz range. More distortion (high-overtonez) and put the guitar's sub-800's on a -12 db shelf. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard Troy low-whistle (or Uileean pipes, for that matter) being played at the same time Floor is singing. ... that'd be a frequency battle. You might hear Troy or Marco's acoustic/Irish bouzouki bits while she sings, but they are down in the mix.

😎

Marko is playing a Warwick "Buzzard" bass, designed by the late, very great John Entwistle.....when you can find them, they cost over 7,000 USD

Emppu uses a ESP EV1- Emppu Vuoriaen custom made for him

You guys are dorks🤓 greetings from Tucson AZ. When is your new record coming?

Floor is very good with using a healthy mixed voice while belting really high. Sometimes she uses neck tension to help herself, which is not a good thing to do, 'cause that could damage your voice, but I can understand that in the middle of a concert, you have all this adrenaline and all that stuff, so you want to push a little too much. But I saw this only a couple times, usually, her neck is relaxed, 'cause she knows very well that power comes from the diaphragm, from belly muscles. Here is a perfect example - she's not hurting her voice, she just uses a very good and healthy technique to produce these high notes for quite some time. She's great!

OH My Pagan Lords! Those again + 1 innocent soul they shall ruin...

How many people are there? At least a hundred. made me almost spit my coffee out lmao

goddess of darkness

Twon going full Tank the Tech…..

I believe at this concert there was roughly 85,000 people.

She is a classically trained opera singer.

Hi, guys. It's been a while and I'm not dead yet. Cool.

Imagine that Bears fan saying he digs that Purple :P

82000 were there

That song is a ramp and them cutting the song quick is them sticking the landing. Lol

If you want to look for another good european metal band (german), that regulary perform in Wacken: Blind Guardian performing "The Bard's Song/Valhalla" Live at Wacken 2016

Wrong title. It's the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy 😇😇😇😇😇 Glad to see you guys, always loving your banter 😈😈😈

Everyone talk about tarja/floor, for me marko is the best

I hope you guys know that you're completely nuts. That's why I love you. Floor Jansen is the undisputed queen of symphonic metal. 🤘🤘 It takes a lot of practice and, sad to say, I don't have that kind of voice.

Try Lorna Shore: To the hellfire! It will drop your jaws!!! INSANE singing.
