REACTING to NIGHTWISH (10th Man Down) 🕙👨👇 

Holding my breath until Chase gets around to High Hopes.

Imagine Chase at the Nightwish concert, in the middle of a song, he shouts PAUSE!!!

Most groups when you start to listen to them you get about half dozen great songs but as you go deeper the quality drops and it all starts to sound the same. But with Nightwish you never stop being surprised and blown away.

I suggest you: stargazers live Tampere

Great song!! Other suggestions: "High hopes" or "The siren" both from "End of an era", "Sacrament of wilderness" or "The kinslayer" both from Buenos Aires 2018, "Last ride of the day" from Wacken 2013.

I suggest you a not very reacted Nightwish song : "Come cover me" at Buenos Aires 2018 ! I love it !

hi Chase pls. go for Sahara live at Tampa Florida a highly underrated nw song

Never heard this one sung by Floor, only by Tarja. But of course Lady Valkyria's slaying this one as well 🥰

Next one: "Gethsemane" from the same concert. Thanks!

If you do Kinslayer next, it is about Colombine High School Massacre, so quite a dark inspiration there.

This song is so powerful and beautiful. Check Tarja singing this one too, both versions are stunning but give me quite different feelings. Sounding a little tired today. Hope someone's asking you 'How's the heart?' ♥

Never apologize for missing Nightwish or Floor, they are amazing. I been watching and reading everything Nightwish for a year now. Everytime I listen to a song or watch a video over again, I find new things I missed the first times. They are very complicated, deep and I love them. They Nightwish and Floor are forces of Nature, I am convinced.

That moment when you realize Chase hasn't reacted to High Hopes yet

Great reaction, as always! This song reminds me I'm gonna miss Marko so much when they start playing live again 😭😭😭

Thomas is brilliant and Floor and Marco just bring his music so alive with so much color and form. I can't get enough of them working together they are so amazing.

First song I ever heard from Nightwish. Was back in 2003 and I've been hooked ever since.

This is an excellent live performance. I like this powerful anti-war anthem a lot. ⛄👍

This song and performance deserve more RU-vid reactions. In fact, this is the first I've come across. Very underrated piece of music.

Just like a kid in a candy shop... Nightwish with Floor live never miss 🙏😊👍

Pretty sure this video holds the record for longest amount of time chase went without a pause. And it was glorious lol

As much as Floor nailed it, and she did, Tarja's version of this just holds a special place is my heart. I just feel the pain deeper, can't explain why

As a fan from the time just before Century Child released it makes me so damn happy to see them pulling out the old material for live shows. Floor slays those songs...they become hers. I have not found a Nightwish song (hell ANYTHING she has covered) that I have not fallen madly in love with her singing it.

next stops: The Kinslayer (End of an Era) Beauty *of* the Beast (studio) High Hopes (End of an Era) Kuolema Ketee Taiteilijan (End of an Era)

I saw them do this on the 'Decades' tour stop in Baltimore, MD. Was a truly magical night. :D

Stargazers is an amazing one, I’m sure it would offer interesting discussions

So, we officially have reached that weird but funny point, where I get happy every time I see you beeing happy and enjoying good music. Thanks for making me happy, Chase! I did mention this before, but your Videos and your unique way of exploring the music I know and love for so many years now actually does help me a lot to stay positive and joyfull during these testing times. Again, thank you for what you do! Stay safe & healthy! Lots of love from Berlin/Germany 🥰💕

What a journey this is!!! Since I discovered Nightwish and Floor a couple of months ago ( where have I been?) my life got an extreme upgrade, if not a total reset. We are experiencing a musical wonder. Composing craftsmanship, musician excellence, unique talents, it's an epic journey. On a weekly basis, I discover new highlights. So in fact there are no highlights. Everything is of the highest standard and a highlight on it's own. I am 67 years old, worked in the music industry for ten's of years, but never, never, never experienced this. Like I read in earlier comments, the strangest thing is that not a few songs are good....Everything is exceptional. I am glad I was born in the right period of time to be able to experience this. Nightwish thank you thank you thank you.

7:37-8:16 Yes Floor is everything. There really is no comparison. You don't need to be a vocal coach, just have ears.

Thanks for that!!! Waiting for "Gethsamane" from the same concert!

Chase, right before the bridge piece, you had this stunned look on your face! It was amazing. :) I think the song went in a different direction than what you were expecting.

Love this song!

Yes the beginning is indeed war sounds, this is a song about D-day 1944. On the videowall you see the graves off the fallen soldiers. Almost every song of Nightwish as a deeper meaning than just a song, that's what I like about this band.

One of my absolute favorites! It was great re-experiencing it for the first time with you

I feel the same about Floor....started my NightWish path with her and while I respect all the singers she introduced me to the band.....some sight I am on recommended Storytime in Wacken and I have been hooked ever sense ....The band is incredible and that coming from an Old School Metal Head ...Maiden, Priest, Megadeth etc...and She is ? No words do her justice ...just other worldly as you said...great React ...lots of good stuff on Decades ...Probably my fave of the Live Floor Albums after Wacken ...Cheers

The dangers of early-morning-viewing, sans coffee and glasses. As the video behind them rushed between the tombstones, I swore the blades of grass appeared to be the upheld arms of their crowd, as if an aerial camera was flying over them at high speed. It made for a very, very strong visual impact. Alas, we are all blades of grass in times of war, and the machine mows us down. G'morning Chase...what a way to wake up.

Something about the old Nightwish stuff with the very synth-y keys and the really delicate bell sounds in the beginning gives me old school high fantasy vibes and I love it

Very first Nightwish song I ever encountered. Still an absolute banger!

Never heard this one man.... But ohhhhhh my God. So oooooooooo powerful. Amazing. Great reaction by the way. Thanks again.

Well, your face says it all, when you saw the Goddess. Some say she is from another Galaxy. . Yeah from Asgard and The Metal Mozart always manages to surprise you, Chase. Next 'Bless the child '. Hail Nightwish

Oh wow I haven't heard this in years and years, it was probably my favorite nightwish song back in the early 2000s.

Also please do Epica - the skeleton key. Brand new from their new album...

A classic from the Over The Hills And Far Away album! SO MUCH nostalgia from my early teen years! Thanks for a great reaction Chase

Thank Chase, you ARE the SYMPHMET reaction!!!!!! ...the highlight of my week! Looking forward to Tarja's Wishmaster! NW Army Namibia checking in 🌌⛲⚔️🇳🇦🤘🏻

"the siren" from the end of an era, please!!

Finally! 🤗 Thank you for this, I love this song 🖤

13:32 is that look when you've listened to 40+ Nightwish songs and you're still getting blown away haha. This song is so damn good.

Absolutely FANTASTIC reaction Chase. We have all missed your live reactions. 😜Thank you for the great reaction. 💜

I love this song for many years .. Great reaction!

Perfect, as usual. thanks chase again.

Found your channel right after your first Nightwish reaction, and it's been a great ride so far! So glad you are sticking with Nightwish's music, still so much ground to cover! Cheers!

...and we are smiling with you. Thx man, once again. :)

You knocked another one out of the park, Chase. Great video.

Nightwish "Beauty Of The Beast" next please. Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lwerko8X_aU.html

and yet another great reaction Chase, love it

Thank you Chase! Loved your reaction, again ❣️

What you describe in the end is *the* Nightwish experience. It draws you in and you go on and on and it just never stops to amaze you.

This song is one of my favorites because the melody is so fun to sing, but it's also one of the hardest for me to listen to because of the emotion in it. To me it perfectly captures the anguish of the "guilty" soldier, someone who's killed in war to save themselves, but understands that the person they killed is just like them, fighting a war that isn't theirs. They know they haven't done anything wrong, they were just fighting to survive, but they can't help but feel bad for being the one who pulled the trigger. To me the verses sound hollow and almost monotone, like someone talking about a traumatic experience with a blank stare and every emotional sheild in place because otherwise they'll break. At the end of the verse the melody moves up, like they're moving from blank monotone to fear of judgement/justification (I had no choice, what else could I have done?). The chorus sounds to me like someone trying to run away from what they're feeling, from the memories of those faces. The lyrics echo this with phrases like "cut me free" and "pull the plug, end the pain". It's a beautiful, haunting, and very emotional song, and as much as I love singing it, it's hard not to tear up in the middle of it.

One of my favourite tracks of all time

This is a great song. One of my favorites 🤟🏻🔥

Ah, the old familiar chills

Absolutely love it 😍

You are so right Chase ,i am 56years old so i have listen to a lot of music in my life . I love al kinds of music ,metal ,rock ,fado ,classic,you name it and as Henk Poort said good music is good music, but never had a experience like with Nightwish that every song they have i like and i can hear over and over again and never get tired of

Week 3 of me requesting Nightwish - Beauty OF the beast studio version. And great reaction as always 😊

I absolutely love Floor, but you owe yourself a listen to the Tarja version of this one as well!

One of the highlights of this show for sure.

Okay. Story time. This is actually the most important song in my life. Around 2002 Ii got my first internet access at home, and in about 2 years I was a constant inhabitant of an anime-forum (yeah kids, it used to be just as nerdy back then) I came from classical musical school, learnt the piano and absolutely hated rock/metal. Until I was shown this exact song in an AMV (anime music video). The contrast, the fresh idea of combining classical music with metal (little did I know of previous projects or bands), the energy.... Not only did it grow on me, it instantly caught me. I re-watched that bad, over-compressed video (remember, this was dial-up era) like 100 times until it changed my life. I'm now a diehard metalhead, not a musician (I have muscular atrophy, can't hold the guitar, much less play it... newver even got out of the starting book of my 6 years in piano) but still, quite a different guy than I otherwise would be. All thanks to this song, Tuomas and Tarja. And this AMV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qxfzGE6htfk.html

This is one of my all time favorite Nightwish songs. Ah, so good! ❤️

Properly pysched you did this song. It was my favourite Nightwish song until TGSOE came along. I saw them on this same tour at Wembley Arena and I was blown away when they did this. So good. Also, supported by Beast in Black at the same show who were also top notch. Also, everything you say about Floor is bang on. She has an amazing presence.

Epica - The Skeleton Key video just dropped and would make for an awesome reaction.

Thanks again Chase 🙏🏻

OMG I totally missed this one..... so a very late reaction... enjoyed this one a lot! so different and yet such a great song! Great job Chase! Also your honesty and deep analysis.

As good as you are, I love how they surprise you! And we love how you love every surprise.

A perfect next stop would definitely be "High Hopes": Tuomas cannot only write incredible songs by himself, he can also perfectly honor a masterpiece of another band (Pink Floyd).

In true Chase fashion "Naw, hold on. We're doing this again" 20 seconds in 😂. Great Reaction. 🤚mute 😂

This is a wonderful song, and Floor and Marko sound awesome together. Thank you for this reaction.

Come on Chase...time for High Hopes. Greetings from Cape Town.

Never heard version with Floor, but the original version is carved in my brain and that's the only one for me.

Such a great song. This whole performance is stellar. Still putting in my plug for Stargazers at Tampere Live! Enjoy the ride!

You know what Chase i totally agree with you.....she is not of this Earth because she bewitches us mere Earthlings with her ethereal frequencies and out of this World presence.....she just takes one's breath away.....but what a great team they are.

My all-time suggestion is Tuomas' solo project with conductor Pip Williams, Johanna Kurkela's vocal and Don Rosa on painting - Lifetime of Adventure (Nuclear Blast official video) - a soundtrack to the comic book Life and Times of Scrooge. It's epic!

I’m just so happy that you too find joy from Nightwish songs 🥰

This was the song (studio version with Tarja) back in 2001 that turned me on to Symphonic Metal. Haven't looked back since!

Pause gang attending! lol Love your reactions, buddy!

One of my favorite intros ever, so glad you quite obviously had a similar reaction

Floor gives me goosebumps. Full stop. There it is. haha. I love your reactions Chase, thank you so much.

first time hearing this....8:47 and 9:16 lmao dude...I was right there with you.

I love this song. it doesn't get reacted to enough in my estimation. This song always brings to mind a piece of the ending poem from "Song of Myself". Loved it Chase! Be well. Peace. Death is the winner in any war Nothing noble in dying for your religion For your country For ideology, for faith For another man, yes

Great reaction video 🙂

Kinslayer for the old school vibe - Buenos Aires - Thanks in advance !

Floor just posted a new cover on her channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zG-ptrlJ4pM.html

Is there anything better than a Saturday with new Chase-Nightwish and a Tank-Sabaton double header? I think not! You do a fantastic job as always sir, much appreciation and support for your awesome channel!

Epica- The Skeleton Key, Abyss O' Time(acoustic), and Omegacoustic

Nice reaction to a wonderful old NW song. Thanks for checking this one out.

Charlie, Elizabeth, Julia, my psychologist and you have learned me one of the most vital lessons ever that my both parents were never able to teach me. Never ever compare people. On the surface we look similar, but on the inside are we deeply unique with everything what have been given physically, what our parents ware able to teach us, which challanges, problems and limitations we are daily faced with, which decisions make and the consequences of them we will and have to live with and above all the courage that we need to have to live and overcome our own vulnerabilities. It is such a pleasure for me to watch your reactions on any live performance. To me you did something excellent in this specific reaction video. You try to stay far away from comparing with each other. It is more than obvious that you recognise and enjoy the uniqueness of Floor, but you still give any other artist the respect, attention and credit they deserver. I simply enjoy watching your reactions, because you always have that positive approach and vibe without any exception to any artist. That's what I like about you.

Glad to be back!

this song is so beautifull! it's one of my 3 favorites, alongside "ghost love score" and "live to tell the tale"

Thanks again for this rraction

Two of my favorites from Nightwish in a row! This was so good in Lahti with the original male voice Wilska. Chase should check out the studio version too.

Damn I had forgotten this song, and hadn't seen this live video before! Won't forget it now.

Such an underrated song. That chorus is magic.
