Fun fact Emppu has a black belt in judo and has won a bronze-medal from Nordic championship for youth and two gold-medals from finnish championship for youth 😏
Nemo in Latin means: no one or nobody. Troy is playing a low whistle. You should also check out their performance of Nemo from the Wembley 2015 show - Troy not only plays the low whistle but also near the ending he plays guitar with an e-bow that changes the whole vibe of the song - major goosebumps!
Yeah, not just the way Floor falls off that note, but the way it transitions into the beautiful piano section from Tuomas, before ramping the energy back up again. Love that part!
This song is based on the Jules Verne novel '20.000 Leagues under the Sea' in which Captain Nemo (the man with no name) searches for his true self on his travels on his submarine The Nautilus. Tuomas identified himself with this character as he always has been longing for his childhood as comes forward in many of the Nightwish songs he has written.
This song is legendary on its own right , and this song was my first Nightwish song that I heard back in 2004 . Also this song can be heard in the ending credits of the 2005 film The Cave. "Nemo" is the eighth single Of the Nightwish album Once (fifth studio album). A big-budget video was made for the song. The director was Antti Jokinen, who had previously worked with Shania Twain, Celine Dion and Eminem. The video was number one on MTV Brasil Video Chart. The song was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single. Although Nightwish already enjoyed a solid fan base in Europe and South America by the time of the single's release, it is considered their breakthrough song since it helped them reach a wider audience. Tuomas Holopainen has stated that the title is Latin for "nobody" or "no name" and the song is based on his occasional feelings of being lost, longing for the past and feeling nameless. AND ,....in 2022 Floor added 15 sec. Belt note at the end of this song. Here is a link , Enjoy : Floor Jansen makes her own HISTORY ! 15 Seconds of F5 Belt - Nemo (4/5/2022) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9D9jdqEkxYo.html. And I experienced this Live also (in 2022). The only thing what I said then was : "Are You Kidding Me !!!!!" 😲. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘
Lol..I died in 7:54 when u said "..ahh, fuck me sideway dude.." 🤣🤣 take my likes and subscribe. U r a good guy. Pls keep these videos coming. Greetings from Finland
Great reaction Bro! I heard this song a million times. And just noticed Troy and Floor echoing each other the whole song i think. Noticed when you did! 🤘😎🤘
That's the work of Tuomas the composer, to get fluity petudy echo the rest. Thats why Emppus solos are deliberate and scripted just like in an orchestra. There ain't so much leeway as in other metal bands. And that is one reason they are so great 🤘
Excellent! In more recent versions of this song, you may encounter Troy (the whistle guy) playing the same melodic line on an electric guitar with an e-bow. This band never ceases to amaze! Thanks!
Hello GP42 Reacts, NW Army Italian Division reporting for duty. The orchestral parts are recorded in London by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the choirs are by Metro Voices & The Young Musicians London Choir 🤘🤘🤘
Nemo is Latin for "No one" or "No name". This is why the fish was named Nemo as well. You are hearing Troy playing that melody on the low whistle. An old traditional instrument. This was Nightwish' biggest hit song from 2004.
My favourite Nightwish track, my favourite version, my favourite singer and now my favourite reaction! nice one, this song makes me ugly cry happy tears, love it thank you x
It's maybe already been said, but the wind instrument Troy is playing is the low whistle. Like you say, the layering really draws you in. Almost every time I listen to Nightwish compositions, I notice something else in the layers.
Emppu and Troy are probably reliving the stage prank Emppu pulled on Floor in the previous song. LOL ( He unplugged her in ears as he moved across the stage, those 2 discussed, or plotted it, beforehand). Song is Tarja era, from the 2004 album, Once, before Troy started playing with NW, so his Irish Low Whistle here is an addition to the song. You're right about the guitar solos, not shreddy just to be shreddy. Only whatever the song needs.
Great again ❤ I wish you a lot of luck to find a song of Nightwish you don’t like… you will need it… 😂 Great performance. I like this song sooo much… 🏆👍
Great reaction, this performance is great, but take a look at the Wembley version in 2015 only a couple of years but the performance is so much better🇬🇧
The genius of this song is it sounds great with Tarja, it sounds great with Floor, it sounds great acoustically done, it sounds great as a faster rock version by Tim Akkerman as he did on Beste Zangers. That’s a sign of a well written song.
With Nightwish the guitar solos are never shredding just to be shredding. They always fit the song and they're always just the right amount. They're just exactly what the song needs, no more and no less. It's one of the reasons I love this band. Emppu can shred with the best of them but it's not about taking the spotlight. It's about the music, the song as a whole.
You have to watch the acoustic version, you don't have to think which instrument is playing 😂ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FC7HYfc5y0A.htmlfeature=shared
You should try perhaps the song Edema Ruh which ist not often played here on RU-vid There are two versions - one as a special video from them here on youtube an one live version on baltic ship cruise. Greets from the Black Forest in Southern Germany
I don't think you'll ever find something you don't love. But maybe that's because I haven't? Lol! I still can't wait till you check out Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean. One of my favorites. Love your content!
Troy was playing the Low Whistle long in length with deep sound , he plays smaller ones in other songs that are Tin Whistles with higher pitched sounds
Amazing reaction❤..This song is a master piece for me...Nemo is No Nody in latin...Tuomas is a genious in the Lirycs and The music...is perfect and Floor is The Queen sublime ..magnificent amazing
Great reaction mate. This is the first Nightwish song I ever heard and I couldn't believe how well the operatic vocals worked so well with metal. Hooked ever since! Not many people recommend this but check out Dead Gardens (remastered 2016) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kkpd1k_ndFk.html
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
Great reaction yet again! You mentioned you were on the mission to find a Nightwish song that you would not like. Well, Nightwish has those rougher/less stellar tracks too, specially when they started out - as most bands do. Thing is that when composer/keyboardist Tuomas started to find his signature sound and musical style in early 2000's, and specially when band performing live, they have pretty much hitting their A-game since. This Wacken 2013 concert is testament to that. Also well worth checking out is live concerts of Tampere 2015, Wembley 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018. Some awesome new tracks awaits you on those too. Keep on rocking m8 + greetings from far away Finland! :)
"Sahara Live at Tampa Fla. Might let you down if you like to watch floor Dance like a Python. Fk me she is fantastic on stage, Female Freddie, I really mean that.
Hey buddy! Please, dou yourself a favour and check Nemo live at Wembley 2015 AND live at Buenos Aires... To me, the top 2 versions of this awesome song
If you twist my arm and make me name a Nightwish song I could live without I'd say Amaranth. Way too poppy and dull for my taste and also really overplayed in radio stations here.
