ROADIE REACTIONS | Nightwish - "Ghost Love Score (Live)" [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING] 

I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the responses in the comments. I try my hardest to respond to everything, but I am just so overwhelmed right now with how fast you guys are posting information and more recommendations. Thank you to everyone, especially the Nightwish Army that crashed the gates and took over! I’ve loved learning about the band from all of you and can’t wait to listen to more! I’ll keep checking comments and responding the best that I can! 🤘

My dog listened to this song with me. He's now a direwolf.

Those aren't goosebumps son those are FLOORGASMS!!!!!!

*Every Nightwish fan sits waiting for THAT ending note* *Every Nightwish fan screams as the video gets paused right before THAT ending note* *Every Nightwish fan forgives you, you got the Floorgasm in the end*

Tarja was the opera specialist Anette brought a rock/pop sound Floor brings everything

"I'd be really impressed if one of them busted out...a flutey instrument" Wait till you meet Troy, the 6th member, not on stage in this song

"I need to listen more Nightwish" Ok, you'll have about 100 songs to listen.

"I'll try not to pause too much" Pauses 418 times in first few minutes 🤣

I’d say her final note qualifies as mind blowing. You have to listen to it without pausing.

Romanticide or Yours Is An Empty Hope (Wembley version) for some harder stuff. Nightwish Army on its way.

You got teary eyed at this, my man you are NOT ready for Poet and the Pendulum or Greatest Show on Earth...

Floor Jansen is a treasure. I think she said when she first went out on stage with them, she was terrified and wondered what she was doing there. Magic happened.

"That was _not_ what I was expecting." Ohoho, just wait.

This is the most epic concert I've seen in years, try ROMANTICIDE , SONG OF MYSELF, GHOSTRIVER, STORYTIME or any other song on this concert! Lol

You paused during the epic Floorgasm, there should be a law against that lol, 😂 awesome reaction though, just had to subscribe.... 🤘🤘

Watching people react to this for the first time is honestly one of my favorite things in the world haha

She's a valkyrie commander, that is charging into battle, and YOU will charge into battle with her.

Hello @ TankTheTech ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2013 at Wacken Open Air festival, in front of a 82k+ audience. 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. I appreciated that, although you watched the show with a "technical eye", you were open to the emotions induced by the song and the unique voice of Floor Jansen. As others will have already told you maybe, what you felt is called "Floorgasm" :) To this, of course, contributed the special talent of all the band members, as well as the value of the musical composition, thanks to Tuomas Holopainen, called by many "the modern metal Mozart". Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the 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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen 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 (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 " Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like: "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zz_7OCCQlXs.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Xi4n8dJcF8.html​ "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pvkYwOJZONU.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lQu5QjidHWg.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S8E3L7ggLMM.html​ "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-05eitd-EA6I.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-knqeI807ZlY.html​ "Sleeping Sun"live at Tampere 2015 (ballad) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rsotlzr9wNw.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhEuAPYm_Ug.html​ "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wA44tjaP5n0.html​ "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TBOdgxjb0kM.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t26r_vAYQ0Q.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AN239Pbqbjo.html​ "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XvsfwAPbWXc.html​ And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Wembley 2015 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vyLsU7Q333k.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg You can also react to Floor Jansen's performances in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands), here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): ru-vid.com/group/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

The goosebumps and wet eyes... thats called a Floorgasm. If you're planning on following this Nightwish road you've started down... buckle up son... its a ride

Tuomas (keyboards, aka metal Mozart) does not write songs, he composes.

As a roadie you can appreciate their documentary “Please Learn The Set List In 48 Hours”. It’s about this tour specifically and gives a lot of insights from behind the stage. Also, nice Davie504 snippet. My Hubby would get a kick out of that. He loves his videos.

Better late than Never Buckle up and hold on It a mystical journey

"I think somebody said Finnish or Dutch" "Yes."

I love when first time reactors to NW get shocked by Floor's beautiful, angelic voice surrounded by the powerful melody, and it's funny how quickly he got Floored and had his first floorgasm

Says he is not going to pause. Pause every 30 seconds. It's ok, your first floor experience;)

So while this song is definitely the perfect first step into the world of symphonic metal, you will be very surprised what this band can do, whether it's heavy, folk, power, opera or cinematic metal. Even after you start to realize what great vocalists they have in this band, you will soon understand what a genius the keyboardist/composer is.

Headphones required at all times for live Nightwish gigs. Welcome to the rollercoaster ride that is Nightwish.

I had to laugh when he was saying "if you have any suggestions ..." - he hadn't met Gabriel yet! Fearless leader will set him straight!

Another fellow American finally discovering the best singer on this planet. Keep reacting to Nightwish and you will agree.

"Ride into battle..." You can do that with the last song of the Wacken2013 concert, "Last Ride of the Day". It's like the Nightwish Army assembles to conquer Mordor after Floor's goodbye speech.

You've no idea how special her voice is.... Nightwish is one of a kind!

The thing with Nightwish is that even if they do impressive stuff, they do it only when the song requires it and not to show off their abilities. They could shred the hell out of those guitars, Floor could belt even higher etc. but this band does these things with great restraint. They let the music shine and damn what masterpieces have they produced. That's why we all get emotional listening. It's not about proving anything it's about the composition. As you explore the band more you'll get to see the skill level of everyone individually. Have fun, you're about to have quite a journey.

ooh boy, you've opened the nightwish rabbit hole! Few things to note: Floor is their 3rd singer (and I like her best) This song was originally with their first singer, Tarja Now that you've seen this, you need to see live versions of: -The poet and the pendulum - Yours is an empty hope (pay attention to the growls here) - The greatest show on earth You're welcome.

Been a fan of rock/metal since the late 70s...just "found" Nightwish a couple months ago... literally can't get enough of them! The NW army is amazing too! 🤘

"It hasnt blown me away yet...." Me: Just wait for it, Floor my dear....show him.....

I've seen this fifty times. Emotional, goosebumps, every time, dude, every time.

Greetings from Finland, the home of Nightwish. Since I'm late for the party, everything worthwhile has already been said about the band & this epic live performance, so I just wish you luck with the Nightwish army that has already stormed your channel.

The Netherlans reporting in 👍

Tank: "She's got a voice" Me: "give it a sec"

When other bands write songs, Nightwish compose songs. And you will never forget your first Floorgasm

"I wasn't expecting this" - "goosebumps" - "emotional" - "epic" - these are all things the Nightwish army are used to hearing on these first time reactions. Welcome to the rabbit hole! Please do a reaction to Romanticide - totally different vibe than Ghost Love Score.

You’re absolutely right. Nightwish are not about the shock effect and all about the music, the emotion etc. ❤️🤘

Even after 15 years, i still get goosebumps listening to NW. Always and forever.

I swear to God hearing eluveitie in the intro just made my day

i have a feeling that this will become a nice journey, discovering all great NW songs through your eyes and ears! 🤘🏻👍 we are ready for it!

Operatic voice? yes, and no. 'Yours is an empty hope' Wembley.

EVERYTHING from the "Live at Wacken" set was fantastic.. As a side note, we Nightwish lovers don't care how long the video is.. EVER.. And we really almost always would want you to watch till the end of the video. This becomes important the more you listen to Nightwish. Also keep in mind Floor is the 3rd singer for NW and she had only been with the band for about 10 months at this point and I think she was just filling in at this point. Over 80k people in the crowd, so just a small show for them, and if I remember correctly this song was about 1 1/2 hours in to the set. Enjoy, we will be here to watch with you.

This just shows how phenomenal Floor Jansen is as a singer...she’s taking a very complex song that was written for a different opera trained singer....and she totally owns every second of it.

Classic hockey shirt. Dude, did I mention about legions of army? Yeah I did and soon the Nightwish army will be flocking your comment section with song requests lol. Great reaction btw. As a roadie, I'm really interested in your feedback on the production value of some of the live shows. Looking forward to more from you 👍

Dude this is awesome. One thing I can tell you, is everytime you pause it for commentary, before you start the video again, rewind it a bit because you can miss a lot of important moments. This is part of a trilogy. Poet and the pendulum (live at Wembley) is next. Then The greatest show on earth Live at Tampere) As you get to know this band more and more, they are so intricut, so dynamic, there is nothing they cant do. Welcome to the nightwish army!!!!!!!

The Greatest Show on Earth, this song is amazing. Masterpiece!

2 months later and I’m back to watch again..... Awesome to see how much more you know about these guys now. Just realized the song in the background at the end too. Love me some sevendust.

storytime and then romanticide , I'd say!

Nice reaction! This genre of music is known as Symphonic Metal. GLS is the most reacted to song, in the history of music reaction videos. A bit ahead of Jinjer-Pisces. As Nightwish is the most reacted to artist or band in the history of music reactions videos. FYI:There were 82,000+ in the audience. It is the 13th of 15 songs that NW performed that night. I would recommend either 'Ever Dream' or 'Storytime' from the same concert for your next Nightwish reaction. The singer's name is Floor Jansen. She is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for little over 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013, when she was 32. She started performing in her first Metal Band, After-Forever at the age of 16. After that band disbanded, she started her own band called Revamp. Which was on hiatus, when she received a call from Nightwish to take over the female lead singing duties mid-tour. The rest is herstory.

No matter how many times I watch this song. Goosebumps in the first 10 seconds. Then they keep going off at every chorus lol

So I'm rewatching this one. After listening to your interview with Joakim. It popped up on my suggested. And it's funny to rewaych this man. Your one of the ones that got me out of my American metal comfort zone. So thank you

I'm glad you noticed Marco shredding that bass. He is a beast and doesn't get enough recognition for how awesome his playing is. He creates a massive wall of sound!

This track was my first listen to as well as I’m not a metal fan really. Likewise it never blew me away but there’s was more than enough to make me curious and of course Floor and her voice 😍😍. Since that first listen I’ve listened to a lot of their catalogue and there’s literally nothing they don’t do. Buckle up fella you’re in for one hell of a ride.

The army is here. Another soul has been claimed by our divine Valkyrie of Rock!! Given you "flute" comments I suggest you check out "I want my tears back"

Anyone else, who goes back to Tank-Reactions to rewatch them?

Nightwish is about musical talent, big compositions, and emotions. Most songs give the feels and all of them give "Floorgasms"(the goosebumps or chills when Floor sings).

Good reaction. I think you get it. I heard someone say "most singers show, Floor GIVES." I'm a long time metalhead, usually listen to stuff a lot heavier and more complex than this, but Nightwish got me the first time I saw them (especially Floor). They have a very positive feel and appear to really love what they do. Anyway... The Nightwish army is coming, they love their Valkyrie Queen.

Im binging on your Nightwish Experience....here I go!!!! Late to the party but "Lets Go!!!!!"

When it comes to Floor Jansen: Normal singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants. She can do clean, operatic, but she can also growl. She is a class of her own.

Great first reaction - you've started the journey, Floor can sing anything, anytime, and mix operatic, head, chest, mix voice, bellting, growling and/or screaming in any song. Marco, the bassist is also a great singer, you'll see. Troy the multi-instrumentalist sings also. Emppu the guitarist is a virtuos, the drummers (Jukka until 2014-15 and Kai replacing Jukka (and recommanded by Jukka) are phenomenal - last, but absolutely not least Tuomas, keyboard, is the composer, lyrics' poet, orchestrator, w.m. is also fantastic

If you ever get the chance to see them live (especially at a smaller venue, but I'd kill to see them at Wacken one day) absolutely do it. Out of all the shows I've ever been to, the 2 Nightwish shows with Floor as the singer (seen them 3 times, the first when Anette was the singer) have been without a doubt the best I've ever experienced. There's an esoteric, otherworldly evergy that takes over once they're on stage, and their stage presence combined with Floor's incredible charisma and ability to command the audience's attention, it really makes it feel like magic.

There is symphonic rock, and then there is Nightwish. She gives me goosebumps every time she sings that haunting melody, contrasting so beautifully against the powerful metal background. I've not seen any flutes, but they do have Uilleann pipes! (AKA Irish bagpipes) You're reaction was almost as epic as the song. And you wouldn't be the first to get teary eyed and goosebumps from listening to this amazingly executed masterpiece. It's a total experience. Thanks!

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

Roadie....Nice reaction, thank you. Congrats you have had your first Floorgsm ( Floor Jansen, vocalist ). Your background lends to the band, if Nightwish is there, there will be fire. Now the real fun begins, the Nightwish Army is headed your way. They will have a request or fifty the first day, subscriptions going soar. They will treat you right, let them guide you at first. Welcome to the world of Nightwish.....Enjoy ! .....Lets go Hawks !

No idea how many times ive heard this song, but it gives me goosebumps every F'n time. All ❤️ from TX

If you‘re into pyros you just have to do Rammstein. Either „Du Hast“ oder „Feuer Frei“

“She’s got a voice” Floor is the voice.

Tuomas Holopainen the keyboard player and composer is basically in a select league of composers with the likes of John Williams, Hans Zimmer and Frederico Enaudi. Floor is one of the best singers alive. Highly trained, skillful, powerful, passionate and a consumate professional. The band is a world class ensemble of musicians.

Quick note too- you mentioned the bass player at the end- Marco Hietala. He usually sits behind the mix a lot but he’s a powerhouse musician. It’s a bit obscure, but he played in a band called Sinergy- a side project with him and a couple guys from Children of Bodom and others. Their 3rd album has some killer tracks. Spit On Your Grave, Passage to the Fourth World, The Sin Trade and Violated absolutely shred.

Once you've experienced Nightwish, there's no turning back. Emotional and physical reactions to their music are how I react as well, and it's why they're my favorite.

And I thought what's wrong with me why I'm getting so emotional and so many goosebumps while listening to this song. Glad to see that I'm not alone :D

If not the biggest name in symphonic metal, they are the most influential.😁👍

16 year old song still blowing peoples minds, and this song wasn't even wrote for Floor, that's Nightwish and that's the music genius of Tuomas Holopainen

Better late that never. NIGHTWISH is alive and kicking. It's a start 4 U

Not only is this one of Nightwish's best song, it is probably one of the best live performances by any band ever. Also love Inis Mona in the background!

Welcome to the world of Nightwish! And symphonic metal 🤘 EDIT: Congrats on your first Floorgasm! 😎 I did enjoy your reaction a lot! Subbed right away, waiting for more Nightwish! You got the background of the band already so i just leave few recommendations. All of these from same Wacken 2013 concert! Romanticide (I hope you do this one next!) Ever Dream Ghost River Storytime Wish I Had An Angel Song of Myself Dark Chest of Wonders ( This is the show opener, proper way to start a gig) Stay safe! Enjoy the music 🤘 Greetings from Finland! 🤘🎶 🎸🇫🇮

@Tank , you’re the perfect candidate for the Nightwish Army, Song of Myself, Ghost River, Romanticide, Dark Chest of Wonders, Storytime from this same legendary concert Wacken 2013 are all epic and different. No two songs are alike. Nightwish with Floor is simply one of a kind awesome. Their catalogue is impressive and vast. If you go on the Nightwish journey....you’ll be so happy you did.🤟🤟✌️✌️

greetings from germany and the nightwish army...floor is the best singer ever in nightwish this is my love song..awesome

Finnish band, Dutch vocalist, English piper, symphonic power metal with folk, prog and cinematic elements. Absolute genius.

Other Nightwish songs have bagpipes, and tin whistle on stage.

Emppu can shred, just not on this tune. What he does, is lends a sweet, melodic break but not overpowering. Had Emppu shredded, would've totally destroyed the vibe.

Music Producer: "What's your musical background?" Every Nightwish Member. "Yes."

Their whole catalog is amazing. You need to see them live. Their fans are intense, too!

You're not the only one. They keep coming. You're just as welcome as all the others. ;D Enjoy the ride!

Great reaction Tank, my first reaction to Nightwish was about the same: excitement and emotion went true my body

Twenty something years of listening to Nightwish this is definetly my favorite song and video!🤘

You never not feel floorgasms when she sings this song

Congrats on your first of many multi Floorgasms. This music & Floor’s voice will touch your soul. Romanticide is next. But harder...use headphones! Enjoy! NW army incoming! 🤙🔥

Welcome to the nightwish army, resistance is futile. Oh and welcome to your first Floorgasm.

I've seen Nightwish here in the states and I really hope that more people get into the band. They deserve much better audiences than what they tend to draw here. I'm hoping what I'm seeing online with the number of people being exposed to them will translate into well attended kick ass US shows! I would love to see them play Red Rocks in Denver. Please, metal gods make it so...someday!

I´ve been standing there in the Middle of this 75000 Peoples in the Crowd, an i never had that special good Feeling anywhere at another Place. That is the Reason why i´m gonna get there every Year sice 2015, and every Year after the Festival i´m waiting for the next Time in Wacken.

Every first time reactor to Nightwish… Ghost Love Score: “That woman’s pipes are incredible” “That bassist was doing some amazing…” “That drummer is just nailing it” “This is a Lord of the Rings/Pirates of the Caribbean…” The very same reactors, two songs later, say by Poet and the Pendulum: “Floor’s vocal technique, compared to Tarja, has the ability to drop a bravado….” “It’s amazing how Marko pulls off his vocals in a dual linear approach with Floor and still just kills the base….” “Jukka was so dynamic as drummer, so sad he had to quit because of his insomnia, but Kai brings a different energy that matches the bands style….” “Tuomas is an absolute genius as a composer….” (BTW - I have no f’ing idea what I said musically, it just kills watching how quickly these reactors get sucked into the Nightwish vortex…..)

Thank you for sharing your first Nightwish experience with us - it was fun to see you get your first Floor-related goosebumps ;) I hope you won’t mind a couple of friendly suggestions: 1) Maybe make a few less stops, or alternatively (if possible) just wait a few seconds for a natural place to pause. Since NW songs are so complex/have so many changes in melody, it’s especially important to preserve the flow of the songs

🇫🇮😁🤘❤️🎶🎸👍 Welcome to the world of symphonic metal a'la Nightwish. Greetings from this old roadie to another roadie🤘🤘👍👍. I work here 1995-2012 🏟️ conserts and all the way in Finland.
