Reacting to Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (LIVE) | Rocker Reactions | ALHSY! 

Hello Michael, Ralph & Cody [A Lot's Happened Since Yesterday!] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome [BACK] to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, [song 13 of 15 from the setlist - the entire concert was a blast!..] together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. I am impressed by the analysis you did, even with partial information. I hope with all my heart that you will continue to explore Nightwish's music. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen of n [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. 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, 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. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: ru-vid.comcommunity 🤘

13th of 15 songs. And 9 years later, she's still doing it every night on the current European tour, a mere few weeks after having surgery for breast cancer. I just watched the full 1 hour 45 minute video of last night's concert in Amsterdam and she sounded incredible. Why did it take me so long to find this band?

I'm American and I don't like Pop. But I'm classically trained pianist/singer. I love this band because their musicianship is amazing. She takes great care of her voice. She is actually Dutch. The Band is Finnish.

I am a 54 year old metal head, most all music I listen to tend to be heavy metal, hard rock, and classic rock. I am American and never heard of this band or woman in 2020, and I was knocked on my ass by them. They do hard stuff, they do soft stuff, they do melodic stuff, but no matter what they do it is amazing. Floor is the greatest singer I have ever heard, and this band is right up there with the legendary bands I have always enjoyed. I hope you guys continue on your journey.

Hi guys Floor is Dutch and the band is from Finland, last month Floor was diagnosed with breast cancer but she already had surgery and is already on European tour, she is still recovering, last November 20th she cried at the end from the song Sleeping Sun, as she is still recovering emotionally, but soon our Goddess will be 100% a hug from Brazil.

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!

Romanticide and a Song of Myself have a much harder edge musically and vocally. Storytime is a shorter rocker and Everdream a slower (at the start) ballad. This band does everything and Floor's vocal range and styles are great. Listen to Shallow by Floor here on youtube Beste Zangers show.

I saw Nightwish live in Amsterdam last night and after all these years they inspire me like on the first day.I was also in Wacken at that time and always thought that there would never be a better concert again...well,that last night can certainly compete with Wacken 2013! There it was; this magic, these emotions, and this fantastic energy between the band and the audience.Don't get me wrong; I've never seen a bad concert by Nightwish... but last night everything came together exactly to the point.And that makes the difference between a very good concert and a perfect evening!

Wait till you hear Floor do death metal growls!!!!

About the "organ" it is decoration to hide his triple Korg keyboards. Nightwish is finnish Tuomas the keyboard Player once said it was a Tribute to the Finnish violist and composer Jan Sibelius and to his monument in the finnish capital Helsinki, 600+ decorated steel pipes . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UbWb-zy85cc.html Knowing Tuomas, there is always a meaning behind everything.

BTW, she can also sing death metal. Her growl gets down in the C2 - D2 range. She can go clean, growl, clean on a single breath. Floor is a vocal coach and has been in bands since 1997, no vocal surgery required.

Actually Floor Jansen (Yahn..sen) is from the Netherlands...She does a massive windmill. The band is Finnish.

Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked and greetings from the freezing northern Finland! ⛄👍

Floor is trained soprano, but she can also sing quite deep and growl. This track is on the light end but Nightwish have made much heavier metal as well :-)

Greetings from Finland. The northern division of the Nightwish Army reporting. More Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen please.

Undoubtedly someone might have mentioned this already, but Floor Jansen is Dutch, she lives in Sweden and is married to the drummer of Sabaton. But she still feels Dutch. She sang the Dutch national anthem at the Dutch Formula 1 Grand Prix and she speaks Dutch with her daughter in Sweden. She also speaks English, German and Swedish fluently and a little bit of Finnish. She focused her new solo career (besides Nightwish) on the Netherlands and a bit in Germany. I would not be surprised if she will receive an knighthood soon by the Dutch King.

Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: What you should do: Listen to Gabriel. He knows. Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured three more souls….:-) Floor is just great....and I will see her LIVE this week...I am a happy man :-) About Ghost Love Score: Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again. Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !

The thing about that opening time signature...When most bands do something like this, you're thinking: "Wow, that must be hard to do"...Here, you're just thinking: "Wow, that sounds great!" It was a little while before I even started to think: "This is an odd time signature"...

Last song in this show was "Last ride of the day" I think which is a very good "kick out" song for a festival like Wacken.

She is Dutch. The band is from Finland.

Nightwish is a Finnish band with a Dutch singer and one guy from the UK. All their songs are Masterclasses. Please continue to do the Wacken concert. Each song is so fucking genius and so different. Enjoy and thanks!!

Two weeks ago, I saw Nightwish in Dublin, even though I had seen Nightwish a couple of times before, and I had seen Floor several times with her first band After Forever, it was my first time seeing Nightwish with Floor. When she was speaking, you could hear that Floor wasn't 100% recovered from her surgery, but when she was singing, it was all flawless. They also performed this song as second from last, only followed by the amazing masterpiece that is The Greatest Show on Earth.

You won`t believe it, but solely the fan base of the Goddess ranges from 12 year old boy to over 80 years! Yes ! Really !

To the guy that said he use to follow Nightwish, this is Tarja’s song. She has been gone since 2005, & Floor really powered the song up. What a beautiful enhancement it is. Second Singer Anette Olzon, Floor replaced in 2013. This was Floor’s first show as a permanent band member, although it wasn’t announced until the new album was released later in the year. She was asked to finish the tour for Anette in October, 2012, so she just had her 10th Anniversary with Nightwish. The band is Finnish, while Floor is from the Netherlands. Troy that also became a member in 2013, that plays guitar, & pipes is from England somewhere. Floor is married to the drummer of Sabaton, a Swedish metal band, & they live in Sweden. Floor says she is a Netherlands girl in a Finnish band, that lives in Sweden. Covers half of Europe. They are on tour now, shows almost every night, & she just had surgery, & facing Chemo in February. What a woman, but I know she had quite a scare, but saying all is well. I hope is taking care your f herself! Love our Floor!

The grestest show on earth from Tampere or The poet and the pendulum is epic Something from another world Masterpiece You name't

This was song 13 out of 15... So there were two more songs after that. Remember that when thinking of her vocal qualities. As a follow-up, try "Romanticide" (same concert), it's bit heavier but like every other Nightwish song, it's different from the previous song.

This is the 3rd last song so she's been singing her heart out already, an this is "the ballad" of this set. Go for Romanticide

Does not matter how many songs she has done she will always sound awesome especially when you're actually standing in front of them I was at May 12th Chicago at the radius small venue so it was about the band and the music not the stage show only about 3,800 people it is the best concert I've been to in my 57 years and I've been to over 500 floor and nightwish in my opinion is the greatest band was is or will be welcome to nightwish gentleman and please follow general Gabriel list if you continue on your journey you will never be disappointed. As for wiping tears from your eyes like I said I am 57 and I was wiping tears from my eyes and I am not ashamed to say that only band that ever made me cry.

Something harder? "Yours is an Empty Hope" - Wembley 2015. Nice little surprise in there for y'all to discover ;).

Im a metal girl and I love Nightwish, after Floor came in. She gives me that metal edge i crave. My favorits are Song of my self and yours is an empty hope

Floor Jansen is a charismatic story teller and a vocal coach too!

Great reaction guys. This particular song is the most reacted-to song in RU-vid history. It is one of the favorites for vocal coaches to react to and analyse. Floor has an outstanding voice and is classic trained. She also used to be a vocal coach. Yeah she can do it all

It's a keyboard stand for decoration and holding his wine bottle. He has 3 separate keys behind it, all Korgs. Also, they were the headliners that year. Song 13 of 15.

Hey guys, nice comment on a great band with the most versatile singer in the world. When singer Floor Jansen was born in the USA, she was a worldstar. Happy for us she lives in Europe. Greetings from the Netherlands

Floor is Dutch Troy English and the rest of the guys from Finland. Floor had only been performing with Nightwish for 10 weeks. To be as tight and perfect as they were and in front of 82,000 people was a phenominal and euphoric experience to be there.

Check out Ghost River / Devil in The Deep Dark Ocean or Ever Dream. Also Nightwish tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes live. Nightwish is a Band that you watch Live.

It was a magical moment? Ten months before, they had to fire their vocalist in the middle of an American tour, in between shows. Their only option was to phone a singer that could take over in heartbeat. They had toured with Floor about 10 years before and knew her skills, and that she was currently available. They phoned her at her sister’s wedding in Holland, asked her to fly to America and learn a 15 song setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary….). She did, and on October 1, 2012 in Seattle she nailed it, they survived, and she continued on as their guest vocalist into South America, back to Europe, Australia, Asia. Just before this concert, in early August 2013, they asked her to be the permanent singer for the band (something that was never in doubt) and this particular concert, headlining in front of 82,000 fans, was the culmination of their acceptance that they had truly made the best choice for the band! And 82k fans who had heard about the new singer, and had possibly bought tickets thinking they would see the old one, were jacked about what they were about to experience. It did not disappoint!

Their performances are incredibly consistent from one concert to the next, and from one year to the next (and now, from decade to decade.) The secret sauce is the click track that the drummer has in his ear. That keeps him, the backing track (the London Philharmonic is their "studio" band), the pyros, and the lights (and even the fireworks... check out "The Greatest Show on Earth) all tightly synced, and the rest of the band follows his lead. Lot of pressure on one guy, but both of their drummers have been superb Peart-level musicians (as well as Bonham-level beasts.) End result is that you can line up, side-by-side, performances separated by years, almost note-for-note. Floor's vocals have evolved, as have some of Emppu's guitar riffs, but that basic consistency is what lets the fans become an integral part of the show. And let's not overlook Floor's stage presence ... she takes charge of a crowd the way Freddie Mercury did in his heyday. (What Nordic metal band doesn't need a six-foot leather-clad Valkyrie as a frontwoman?) You'll get no end of suggestions for further reaction videos. (The whole damned Wacken concert is top-notch, just for starters.) If you want to hear symphonic metal beyond what even Nightwish does, it's hard to beat "Sancta Terra" (Floor again, with Epica and Simone Simons.)

Thanks, welcome to Nightwish

This song was in the second half of the 2 hour show. Floor was also in the third concert in this tour. Annette had dropped out sick and at this point Floor was still filling in, not a member. In this show she made this song her own.

I agree will Allan below, Yours is an empty hope Wembley 2015. Totally different, much heavier and Floor's growling 😳

Hail our Valkirya Goddes...is out the world...welcome the Nightwish world is magic music...master musicians Tuomas Genious.composer...🤘

Hi guys, Nightwish Army, Indonesian (Ex UK) division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.

Emppu is muting the lower strings at the end of his solo. That keeps them from vibrating sympathetically and shortening the sustain time of the note he’s holding so it rings out as long as he wants it to

This is one of the top 5 concerts of all time! They did a DVD from this concert called "Showtime, Storytime". Every song in this 2 hours is absolutely perfect. They are all hyper talented. If you look this song, you have not even scratched the surface of Nightwish. Tuomas Holopainen is a genius. Many called him a modern mozart (he is creating all this musik and lyrics). Floor Jansen is not from Finnland, she is from Netherlands! She was singing the netherlands anthem this year at the Formula 1 GP in Zandfort. The band is finnish. On 4.Dec.22 they are playig finally in my home city Vienna in Austria. Im waiting now 2 years for this gig, it was 3 times canceled, because of the corona pandemic. But this year everything is fine :) If you guys are ready for more art from Nightwish, than go for "The greatest show on Earth" live in Tampere 2015. This is a more than 20 minutes long song, so do some research before, to know a little bit what is going on. For the "hard" man in your group, you can check out "Romanticide" from the same show in Wacken 2013! Its also freaking awesome!

Nice reaction! I just wish the guy who knew the song wouldn't have spoiled so much (before and during the song) for the others. Nightwish is best discovered as a surprise. Every song is different. For next songs, please go in blind! And avoid talking when the song is playing, you missed the whole interlude talking about how much you love interludes lol! But great to see your enthusiasm and insights, I really hope you continue with Nightwish!

The keyboards are behind a structure, which is a reproduction of an exhibit in the national Finnish art museum.

Nightwish goes light, medium and heavy. This was medium. They usually start and end concerts heavy. This was 13/15 and Floor's favorite song. Floor describes her warmup exercises here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cRxwA_LtYIs.html

Been a rocker for 70 years (includes the cradle) got turned onto this band by a "metal evolution " episode about European power metal , then started watching their videos during the Pandemic and a documentary about Floor joining the band. Just saw them live in LA last May. Great Band . She has incredible stage presence.

Fan since 1999 and next live here in München 5.12.2022 so closing

Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA! Plenty of heavier material in the vast catalog, no bad songs. This entire concert, Wacken (pron: VAW-Kehn) 2013 is a masterpiece of live recording and performance. It's close to perfect for live! The (faux) pipe organ pipes make up a custom wine rack, converted into a multi keyboard stand with wine holder. Watch below for a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances!

25:26 The Floorgasm brings yet more converts to the family !! 😁 Welcome Brothers. You are, each of you, one of us now. Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show, and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it. 💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙 Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army This is the holy trinity of Nightwish songs live with Floor fronting...

It’ll add the context you need to fully appreciate this emotional masterpiece.)

A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe 👍. You are spot on most of the time 👍 As you are already flooded in info, comments and suggestions, I will just add some facts: What people experience is nothing religious - the official word is a 'Floorgasm' - not kidding, and very common during a Nightwish concert. And please don't be mistaken - you have only scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities within this one 😁 - only around 12 - 14%... - still not kidding! On the Wacken 2013 concert, Floor only did old songs, written to the two former singers - not for her incredible voice and breath techniques. That comes from 2015 and up - and Floor has evolved since, and nowadays nothing and nobody comes even close to abilities. Trust me - she is the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented storyteller ever. And that brings me to the stories - all Nightwish stories are deep - very deep poetic lyrics, often with quotes from scientists and writers (Darwin, Sagan, Dawkins and Shakespeare etcetera etcetera) - and you won't really understand Nightwish, before you dive into the lyrics.. I know all the best music comes from the US - that's completely okay. But Nightwish are not restrained by moneymakers to making radio friendly songs at max 4 minutes - they are free to create deep meaning full stories - or tribute songs like 'Shoemaker' (tribute to Eugene Shoemaker) - you should try the version from their newest album 'Human Nature' - written to Floor's voice. And then let Ralf have a go on singing...and breathing 😏. He may skip the last incredible part 👍😁 By the way - Floor does the live!!! That's how we Europeans prefer a tribute song. By the way - pop? - Floor made a version of Lady Gaga's 'Shallow' - in a TV-show called Beste Zangers. Talk about versatility, emotions and skills... And again - a big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 (Amsterdam is the Capital of the Netherlands 🇳🇱) - not Finland 🇫🇮 😁 And please read Gabriel's comments once more and use his links, while they have some of the best audio

Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!

Oh my! Romanticide, Storytime, Everdream, Song of Myself, Ghost River, MASTER PASSION GREED!!!, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, I want My Tears Back, Dead Boys Poem, Greatest Show On Earth, Poet and the Pendulum……. MORE!!! ❤😂😅❤❤❤

Amsterdam is in the Netherlands, you know the country that founded New Amsterdam aka New York, Brooklyn and Harlem and Floor is from the Netherlands one of the most dense countries in Europe when it comes to population. Finland is way more up in Europe and is known for the reindeers, they have way more beautiful nature then the windmills we have in the Netherlands. Oh and we have lots of cows that produce the Gouda cheese lol.

Un coucou de France, excellente réaction, continuez et écoutez l'avis de l'armée NIGHTWISH en tapant le concert du WAKEN 2013 dans la recherche You tube, vous ne serez pas déçu car les 15 chansons sont des classiques pour tous les fans de ce groupe qui à mon avis personnel est le meilleur du monde, merci et bravo de votre écoute, continuez vos très bonnes réactions.

“My heart is with them” that’s beautifully said ❤

This was song 13 in a 15-song setlist. For the opener, check out "Dark Chest of Wonders." The "pipe organ" is a keyboard stand modelled after a famous sculpture at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. He's got a couple of Korg synths back there. And a built-in wine bottle holder. He loves to keep a bottle of cabernet sauvignon back there for an occasional swig. The audience was 82,000. The orchestral intermezzo is not a pee break, as many reactors assume. It is a part of the score, part of the story. During that intermezzo, you're hearing THE London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Metro Voices of London gospel choir. The guitarist, Emppu, plays either simple or complex solos doing just exactly what is needed to support the song---what the composer called for, no more, no less. But make no mistake, he can fuckin' shred when he wants to!! 😆 And, yes, we call her the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal!

This is melodic Nightwish. Maybe in some ways the perfect song to define them, but I have to say, you owe it to yourselves to check out a few more, probably Romanticide, Somng of Myself and Yours is an Empty Hope being three among them, because you really haven't seen the range of what Floor can do by seeing only this song, and the rest of the band for that matter. Floor can sing pretty much any style at the drop of a hat, and most Nightwish songs don't sound a like. This is easily their most famous song - and it is amazing, truly - but don't think this is their style as described just by this song. Given the chance, they will probably surprise you - a few times!

Funny you should mention Phantom of the Opera... They cover Phantom and just played it on stage for the first time since 2005. There isn't an official video (YET!) of Floor's version, but the bootlegs are worth a watch. And, there is official video from 2005 with Tarja that is also worth a watch.

It was the 13th song in the set out of 15. She had unbelievable control, range and versitility but her vocal stamina is almost more remarkable than that, because she can do a song like this so deep into a setlist, and still have energy for 2 more neither of which are cakewalks. LOL I saw your vocalist up in the top right's eyes bug out when she absolutely NUKED that g#/a♭ 5 at the end. You can watch Floor (she's Dutch, btw, the rest of the band is from Finland) and stay dispassionate all you want until she goes and throws something like that at you 😃

ha, see how energetic the audience is, they've been there all day and Nightwish was the closer for the Festival on Sat. night and they're still pumped up!! Ok, one thing the band is from Finland but Floor and her "Dutch windmill" is from Netherlands. And she is a vocal coach and voice teacher.

Awesome reaction👌never get tired of seeing people having a Floorgasm🤗 please follow the list from Gabriel and do more reactions 🤟

Hi folks, pls. more comments a few hundred to go with Nightwish and with Floor on covering songs and her former bands and nowadays her solo songs. What she can do is going to amaze you all and not bragging and showing of. Just singing! Greetings from The Netherlands.

Floor had only been with the band for 10 months before this performance. Tell me another band that have survived. 3 lead changes. 3 bassists. 2 different drummers. Adding a 6th member. An give the same energy regardless if the crowd is 82000 or 800.

the North German Division of the Nightwish Army reports !! We are there. special greetings to the General of the Army > GabrielBardac < (in your comments) and of course the rest of the Nightwish army and the sabaton family The Bande Vocals : Floor Jansen Bass,Vocals : Marco Hietala Guitar : Emppu Vuorinen Keyboards,Songwriting. : Tuomas Holopainen Uilleann Pipes : Troy Donockley Drums :1-Jukka Nevalainen until 2013 /and then 2-Kai Hahto.

Two more souls snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess Floor can do everything vocally from classical to growling and EVERYTHING in between. She does some growling with Nightwish, checkout ""yours is an empty hope" live at wembley. She does more harsh vocals with her 2nd band Revamp.

Very Good reaction - one of the best for a long time - but to be honest - i am a NW and FlOOR FAN for a long time. Most have listen to 100 times. And every time i get a shivers over my body.

Here's another taste of Floor. From operatic to full on fry screaming in the blink of an eye: "ReVamp - Here's My Hell (live @ Zwarte Cross 2010, Lichtenvoorde 17.07.2010)" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y-qX9foutpo.html

Great reaction! 👍🤘 Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁 Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best and most versatile female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (C3 to F6+). Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today. The vocalists are/were - Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals. Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals. Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera. The other band members are/were - Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland) Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland) 2001 - 2021 Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland) Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom) Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present Jukka Koskinen - Bassist (Finland) 2022 to Present Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) and a recently launched solo career that she has been involved that are all pretty amazing as well, she is also an accomplished song writer herself. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on RU-vid where she has posted covers of songs as well as her solo stuff. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen. They are hugely popular across in most of the world but for some reason still not very well known in the US. The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is EXTREMELY varied. The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set. Nighwish are almost always better experienced with LIVE versions of their songs if at all possible. Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb. Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Romanticide, Storytime, Ever Dream, Ghost River, I Wish I had an Angel, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Want My Tears Back and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken). Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance. Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version. Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way. Prepare for the Nightwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘

I feel like you guys really need to listen to both Romanticide & Yours is an Empty Hope. Right up your ally. GLS is a good intro.

Nightwish Army Southwest-Germany Division is reporting for duty. Welcome to the ride.

I thought i heard it all. Then i heard Nightwish. As the legendary Neil Peart wrote, "Fool That I Was".

Just a few hours ago i was at their live concert ... stil amazing... also they are older then evanesence. Band is from finland, troy is english and floor is dutch.

Nightwish , Wacken , Germany , Live :)

You guys gotta do the entire concert. Start with the opener: Dark Chest of Wonders. I guarantee it's the best show opener you will ever see.

she has been goin for 10 years in a row and started a solo thing also now which is also great

We are here...we are everywhere....Nightwish Army

We don´t have much in the Low Countries but we have our metal queens.

Nightwish army UK popping in for a great reaction.

The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere! 🤘🙏🏻

The MORE!! you listen the more you embrace!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

- the singing godess Floor is Dutch - I guess they where two other songs after that at the Wacken gig - the poet an the pendolum and greatest show on earth are a must do now for you guys - wellcome to the nightwish army 😉

Guys, she also sings in a project based Prog rock “band”. If you liked her voice, please react to The day that the world breaks down by Ayreon. And no, Floor Jansen is from The Netherlands, Nightwish is from Finland

Hi, nice reaction, greetings from the Nightwish Army from Poland

The next reaction should be Ayreon with the video The Day That the World Breaks Down, with 11 of world best metal singers. You will again be blown away because it is so different

very cool reaction, greetings from the Nightwish Army from Germany :-)

Great reaction, guys! Check out Floor Jansen’s RU-vid channel. You can find her covers, her solo work and her master classes. Looking forward to see you react to more Nightwish. 🙋‍♀️🤘

Another one of the "This is not my preferred genre" reactors.. Weeee 🙂 You have NO idea of how many reactors to this song that has said the same, but before they know it, they're in the bottom of the rabbit hole with all the rest of us. If you just do a few more of these, and follow General Gabriels list, then we'll catch you at the bottom of the hole so you land softly 🙂 Btw: The "organ" is just a prop. And this was song 13 of a setlist of 15 songs. "song of myself" and "Last ride of the day" comes after. and NO NO NO.. Floor Jansen is NOT Finnish. She's Dutch. She lives in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (Drummer of Sabaton) and their daughter Freja. Did you know that Floor just had a breast cancer surgery a couple of weeks ago? And they are now in the middle of the European tour. And while Amy Lee (Evanescence) is a good singer, Floor is the Dark Valkyrie Godess-Queen of Metal. And it's funny that you mention Iron Maiden, because Steve Harris have said about NW's album "Dark Passion Play" this: "When I heard Dark Passion Play, I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Now, this is a proper fucking album." You can read the whole article here: www.loudersound.com/features/steve-harris-iron-maiden-nightwish-dark-passion-play Note: This article is about the albums "Dark Passion Play" and "Imaginerium" , with the 2nd singer Anette Olzon at the vocals. Anette got fired in 2012 in the middle of the US tour , and Floor was called in on a 48 hour notice. (To get intp THAT history, you can watch the documentary "please learn the set list in 28 hours" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l-SRe8qZX2M.html ) I'm really looking forward to se Nightwish Live at the Tons Of Rock Festival in Oslo Norway next June.

To say it the way it is: This is a World Class performance.

she had to learn all the scores in 48 hours after Anette left in 2012 during their world tour so thats how good she is

The pipes are a large facade to hide Tuomas’ wine bottle holder - I’m serious, watch more of this concert!

floorgasm

Just 2 songs after this song to complete the concert. And while this is one of their very melodic ones you'll also find a lot heavier and more fast paced metal songs. All with the same quality. Check out Romanticide from this concert for a total different feel. Nice reaction 🤘🏽

Everyone of their concerts also has great audio that you rarely get from any other band. Whoever does their audio is amazing. Also, the pipe organ is a false front. Tuomas plays two to three KORG synths hidden behind that false front. This song was the 13th song of 15 in the set.

Hey guys! Given a couple of questions, I thought I'd answer them: 1) Time signature. The time signature at the beginning was a common 4/4 signature. 2) The "organ." Tuomas, the keyboardist, plays the keys, and the "organ" is a stage facade. 3) Ghost Love Score was #13 out of 15 on the set list. And, Ghost Love Score was performed more than an hour into the set. And yes, she maintains her vocal control throughout the set, and the only time her voice shows any sign of cracking was during the last song, Last Ride of the Day, and that was only because of the smoke from the pyro that was going off at the same time. Floor has been in many performances since Wacken 2013, and has never disappointed. Plus, you guys haven't seen anything yet, from Floor growling in Yours Is An Empty Hope to a chromatic vocal slide I call the "Banshee Wail" in Romanticide. This woman has very few singers that can meet, let alone, match what she does -- and everything she touches turns to gold.

Michael, you just look like a kid on christmas morning. Very entertaining !
