ROADIE REACTIONS | "Nightwish - Romanticide (Live at Wacken)" | [FIRST TIME LISTENING!] 

It happened again... I absolutely cannot keep up with all the comments coming in from you all, but believe me, I’m reading them all and taking notes, even if I don’t respond. I am overwhelmed by all the suggestions and the wealth of knowledge about Nightwish that you’re sharing with me. Thank you so very much!

Day 1: "I've never heard these guys before". Day 2: Comes back for more and knows all their names. We've hooked another one guys!

"I'm going to have to watch like 10 of these in a row!" - Every NW fan: "YESSSS!!!!!!!" / "Ah, I can't help it!" (headbanging) - NW Army: Grinning: "We know!" / "I don't care, we're going back and listening to that again!" - NW fans: "Of course you are!!" (Btw, I like your BH jersey!)

Reviewer: What kind of music do Nightwish play? Nightwish: Yes

Futher down the rabbithole: Emppu and Marco really shines in the Nightwish cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes".

You're already IN the Army! Ghost Love Score is our recruitment exam. You're now our Tank Regiment. 😂

"Nightwish when listening to, head bang you must" Yoda.

A good one with Troy is "I Want My Tears Back" from Tampere. If you want to see Floor do something unexpected, do "Yours Is An Empty Hope" and pay close attention when they sing the title. You won't regret it at all.

More Nightwish: Song of Myself, Storytime, Last Ride of the Day, Tribal, Shoemaker (these last two are not available live yet, because the album came out during quarantine). You might want to check out Floor's performances from the Dutch tv show Beste Zangers, even though she is singing with the house band it really shows off her skill. Before last summer she was largely unknown in her home country, but now she is one of the most popular singers in the Netherlands.

Wanna see Troy? 'Seven Days to the Wolves' (Wembley)

Emppu does not get enough love his guitar tone is consistently fucking killer and he serves the song perfectly every time...tuomas and floor get so much love(and rightly so) but the whole band are fucking monsters in their own right..!!

If you want to see Troy playing and Marko singing try "the islander" live at Tampere

I want my tears back live at wacken. If you want to see Troy.

Welcome to the magical journey of Nightwish bro. It's like reliving childhood honestly.

For the ultimate Troy flute and bagpipe experience go for "Last of the wilds", Wacken 2013. Instrumental piece bang on the middle of the concert to give Floor a few minutes to break and change. If you want to also hear him sing, "the carpenter" from Buenos Aires 2018.

*Pop Divas everywhere:* Only *I* can hit The Note. *Floor, singing Romanticide:* Hold my beer -- I've got a chromatic slide banshee wail to get to. And Tank -- if you think Marco sounds good, check out Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires, 2018 -- Marco is _Excellent_ in that performance. And for Troy: I would get to I Want My Tears Back or Nemo, both from Wacken 2013.

Ghost River is one of my favorites for just rocking out

You want to see Troy. Not sure if you're ready for their 20-plus minutes masterpiece, but you may check out Weak Fantasy live at Tampere. He did nasty solo with Marco there on bouzouki. Emppu's fave solo is from Ever Dream. Haha so there you go my two recommendations to you.

Oh no ! Don’t ever apologize in going back to listen or hear again! We get to hear it again no problem. You will get better at the pausing, but when you join the Nightwish Army no real rules except no talking over music ( woo and ahhhs, wow, ok). Every song is a journey and march thru epic emotional and wonderful sounds and sights. Warning for your Dad and you your not going down a rabbit hole but a worm hole! Do stick with live also their videos are great but they take it to the next level live! Good luck on your journey!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I'm 66 and a retired musician. I found Nightwish a couple yrs ago. I absolutely love this band. My favorite of all time. Their fan base have as many old guys/girls as young ones (according to the band). Tell your dad he's not alone.

You want more Marco/Floor plus an awesome drum beat...Ever Dream

Can’t tell you how awesome it is to see you fall in love with Nightwish’s music. I agree that Tuomas is the Mozart of metal.

The two songs to start with Troy should definitely be 'I Want My Tears Back' live at Wacken, 'My Walden' live at Tampere or Wembly (both shows are equally great with this song).

Great reaction! The enthusiasm you bring to the table is so joyous to watch! As many more have mentioned - a safe bet is to keep doing the Wacken 2013 concert. I also recommend "Seven Days to the Wolves" from their Wembley 2016 performance. If you want to see more flexing by Empu and Marco I would recommend Nightwish cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes (From the "End of an Era" DVD). Back then they still had their original singer Tarja, but she is not present in that song and Marco is singing lead.

Love the enthusiasm! Thanks tank! You're only scratching the surface...long way to go yet. They've never released a weak song/ composition. Stick to live versions until you get to the new album...a masterpiece.

Greatest Show on Earth @ Tampere by Nightwish I'd love to hear your impression of the stage production.

Now you understand us. High quality vocals, instrumentals, composition. Each song - different from all others. It's insanely magic.

Another great reaction, Tank. How can any man not fall in love with Floor!! How can any Woman not fall in love with the Valkyrie Floor & the Viking Marco. I can see it.

Nightwish reaction and HIM as a background music..! I like you, Mr.

For more of Emppu's solos and Marco's vocals, their live cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" is a must!

I am in the same boat as you and your dad. I am absolutely enthralled with this group. I grew up with Elvis, but never have ever seen or heard anything like NW , I am hypnotized. 74 year old metal head here.

So fun watching you react to hearing Marco for the first time, then watching your reaction to "The Islander" barely two months later. Such a fun journey so far.

From all Nightwish reactions I've watched (and I'm an addict), yours are simply the most fun! Love the edits and the humor, it's not something we'd have seen a thousand times already and I dig it!

Welcome to the Army 🤘🤘

I can relate to your dad. I am 68 and first heard Nightwish about 4 to 6 months ago on youtube watching reactions to the bands of the 70s I saw in concerts back then. Like your dad, I was blown away by the genius mixture of metal and "symphony" and celtic folk, not to mention the lyrics. With that awesome band and Goddess lead singer, it was like watching the ABBA ladies singing for Metallica on music cowritten by Mozart and Wagner . To me this is the next level of Rock, definitely my favorite band now. I wish they would tour in the southern USA so i could see them live. you're reaction reminded me of my first time hearing them, I enjoyed your reaction.

I forgot how bombastic this song is. I haven’t listened to it in a while. It’s one of my favorites. Wow indeed

I started listening Nightwish a little over a year ago and I'm still discovering new songs , so get ready for a long ride but I promise you'll love every second of it. I'd recommend "song of myself" and "yours is an empty hope" from this same show. If you're curious about Tarja Turunen singing then check out "over the hills and far away" and "I wish I had an angel".

Another good one that features Floor with another PHENOMENAL symphonic metal band Epica is a song called "Sancta Terra". Simone Simons and Floor blend sooo well together and, similar to this song, it's heavy and you won't want to stop jamming out. Check it out!

The smirk on Emppu at 8:54 is like: “Yeah, that just happened.” 🤘😝🤘

One of us, ONE OF US!!!

Please listen to “ song of myself”, same gig!!!! That will blow your socks of!!!🤣🤣🤣🤘🏻

They have been known all over the world for so long now. Only now people in the USA are listening. I'm from Florida USA and I've been into Symphonic a long time . EPICA is also one of my favorite. Another band💀🕷💀

Tank, I'm back in April 2023 to rewatch some of your NW reactions and love your huge heart, dude. Thanks for sharing yourself with us. 🫶🏼🙏🏽

The Greatest Show On Earth live at Tampere, Finland features Troy, and a whole lotta Nightwish greatness.

I agree with you, Floor and Marco complement each other superbly! I read a review from a so-called music reviewer once who wrote that Nightwish is great, if only Marco would keep quiet! Wondered for a while if the guy had soil in his ears, or between them!

"Not that I didn't like the last one, but this is a whole different sound!" Yeah so about that, I challenge you to find two songs from their entire discography that sound similar; bet! Also that's actually really awesome, it's only your second song and you already got your dad into it xD good stuff. And lol, ten of these in a row eh? This show, Wacken 2013, has 15 songs...might be providence right there, just go right down the list man! So about Emppu, the lead guitarist. Yeah his solos are great, and it's because he always just plays the actual written part, doesn't embellish or go off on random crazy tangents. He knows we're here for a specific sound or melody, and he delivers that exact progression of notes every single time. I always hated that, going to shows for other bands and when my favorite song came up they changed it so much it was a different song. Never ever have that problem with Nightwish! Hmm, a good song showcasing Troy, eh? That'd be I Want My Tears Back at this Wacken concert.

This song is pure energy! Floor's and Marko's duet at the end is insane. Nightwish is so versatile that almost every song sounds "different". 😉

Haha man your enthusiasm is infectious lol. Like I said last time they do everything. As a point non of them overplay a song. They do what’s needed for the song nothing else. For Troy give ‘iwant my tears back’ from the same show or Buenos Ares

Just Awesome! I knew you would love it! So you want to see Troy, well, we need to change again on different side of band. It shall be I WANT MY TEARS BACK! Either this Wacken show or Buenos Aires 2019, both are very very good. 🤘 And huge respect from me, you actually learn everything in one day, including their names !! 🎶 🎸 👍🤘

You need to listen to another symphonic metal band called Epica. They do a song called Sancta Terra which features Floor Jansen as a guest vocalist. The vocalist for Epica name is Simone Simon. She is another amazing vocalist. This is I live performance. Simone and Floor are friends and it shows in the chemistry they have on stage.

Glad to see another fans experience with NightWish! GO HAWKS!!

It's so fun coming back around to this now after you're a bonafide Marco fanboy and seeing your reaction to the first time hearing him.

I would recommend The Islander Live at Tampere to get a proper feel for Marco's voice. That man can sing!!

No pause apology is needed sir. Ghost Love Score is just a song that needs to be heard all at once without the pauses.

One of the great things about Nightwish is the variety of songs they have, ranging from really heavy (Weak Fantasy, Ghost River) to folk/ballad (While Your Lips Are Still Red, Islander) to insane epic journeys (Poet and the Pendulum, Greatest Show on Earth). Honestly one of the greatest bands Ive ever heard.

Great reaction! I've been a fan of this sort of music since I was a kid in the 70's. I'm near 60 and still loving music that makes you feel alive. Nightwish is incredible. So tight, so spot on, and one can feel the love the band members have for each other and the Nightwish Army. Btw, diehard fan of the St Louis Blues here, but that's a sick Blackhawks sweater. Keep up the great reviews!

Dude, your enthusiasm is infectious! :-D I actually laughed out loud when you tried (and failed!) to not headbang! Great reaction. Between your good self, and your buddy Chase, I have spent hours watching your reactions. I only discovered Nightwish and Floor just over a month ago and, like you, I'm hooked. I have never been so smitten by any band like this before, and I'm 56, so I've heard a few! 'Tanks' for brightening my day! Sorry, I couldn't resist......

For seeing Troy, and also seeing how much fun these guys have, try 'I want my tears back' from Buenos Aires. Emppu does an awesome instrumental duet with Troy and Floor dances virtually all of the way through this one and still manages to maintain her incredible vocals. The crowd are also amazing.

Welcome to the club! I've been a fan since 1997 and let me tell you it does not get boring! Keep watching and you'll see Troy soon enough. One thing I will say in all honesty and with all respect for the past band members, Nightwish was reborn when Floor and Troy both became permanent members. Floor also had her own career going on back in 97' which was also very enjoyable. She had the attention of most of my graduating class with her voice, appearance and stage presence. She's simply amazing and a one of a kind performer but when they joined up together it was an insane moment for me. I've only been fortunate enough to see them live on 4 occasions but each time was like the first! It is going to take you a very long time to catch up on all of the music and the bands history but give it time and you'll get there. I would suggest watching all of the Wacken performances to start. This way you'll get the true feel for Nightwish and also satisfy most of the requests you're getting. Some other honorable mentions are Elan, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, The Poet and the Pendulum (read up on this one first) and The Greatest Show On Earth (save for last). They also released their newest album back in April but I would save that for later. Just a suggestion. Sorry for writing a novel here, just wanted to throw some friendly suggestions. I always love welcoming new Nightwish fans. Thanks again and welcome to the Nightwish world!

I love the line "Happy hunting, you double face carnivore" there's a lot of anger in Floor's voice, also the whole Marko part, plus the guitar, just an amazing song

I Want My Tears Back features Troy. A good introduction to him. After that, he gets a full song... In the same Wacken show..."Last of the Wilds". Great instrumental.

"..Doesn't do any more or less than he feels is needed>" Yep, that's Emmpu's thing. Many professional guitar players reacting to Nightwish have noted that. (in awe ;) ) Troy? > ' I Want My Tears Back' (& DO also listen to the '18 Buenos Aires version) & 'Last of The Wilds'. Later, he's featured in ' The Greatest Show On Earth' (Tampere) & in many of the songs on the new album.

One of Us! One of Us! Welcome to the army. Keep listening. Everything is so good.

That's kind of Emppu's thing. I don't really know any other guitarist that is so good at giving the song exactly what is needed and not more. His playing back in the day usually was way more technical but he's said that as he got older he didn't feel that need to show off anymore, so yeah. And btw, even back then he was a master at doing just that - giving the song exactly what was needed and not a tad more. You probably know this by now though! Nightwish is probably my favourite band. Their masterful compositions, their world view, everything. There is no other band that makes me feel all the feelings I do while listening to them really. Gonna enjoy all these reaction vids of them you've put out. 😄

You should just go through the wacken 2013 set one at a time....it's like the standard rabbit hole....They slay from the very beginning with Dark Chest of Wonders.....which is the most epic start ever. But that concert is a straight up hour and a half of nonstop floorgasm driven goosebumps.

Shout out to your Dad !!! Country (saw his T-shirts) has some great ones like "The Highwaymen" 💕😍👍

YAY! it makes me so happy when people discover Nightwish

Nightwish can be best described in one word EPIC

Troy and his flutey things!!!!! LMFAO. Troy FLUTE AND BAGPIPES in The Greatest Show on Earth. Plus some kick ass pyro too lol. Subbed Sir

I have to say: I absolutely LOVE watching your Nightwish (and e.g. Jinjer) stuff! Your enthusiasm, floorgasms and all. It kinda also is in line with my state: never listened to them so much, but recently found them anew (my mind images were from the previous times of Tarja - an Absolute Talent, but opera not being my thing - & Anette). And have to say, too: Your father and my mom (almost 80 years :) - and NOT a heavy fan, never) had a bit same kinda reactions: I let her listen to All the works of nature & The greatest show. What she said: "These [pieces of music] are out of this world." A bit controversial, I know - as that´s about all they´re about - this world. But then again.. They are. And I like your pausings - though many, also have a good reason - their music just is so incredible, and has so much to pause to - to hear again, properly, and give a credit. (Okay, I´m - too - all flooring [falling but also put to floor - a total knockdown - with a foorgasm] in there.. the rabbit hole. For good.

Always fun to watch someone go down the rabbit-hole that is Nightwish. My journey started much that same way your dad's did, caught a reaction video for GLS and spent the next month finding and watching EVERY SINGLE Nightwish video I could uncover. I now own the Live at Wacken DVD, the Live at Wembley BluRay, the Live at Tempere BluRay, the Decades Tour Live in Buenos Aires Blu Ray, and their last three albums. Pretty much an obsession for me at the moment, LOL. Have to hear at least 6-10 songs EVERY day now. Enjoy the ride my friend!

Tank really love your enthusiasm about the music of NW and the voice of the Goddess Floor. As you delve deeper into theNW rabbit hole you will notice how diverse each track is and just how big the NW army is. Keep on rocking.

Wow, you go on fast. Good there is so much to go for you.

Song of myself and ghost river from Wacken. Also yours is an empty hope from wembly. Floor growls!!!!!!

Love seeing you fall in love with Nightwish as fast as i did a bunch of years ago. There is sooo much talent in there, it just blows your mind. Glad you got to experience that. Great reaction!

Youre having HIM in the background on the intro talk! Niiice!

I think they’re this generation’s Rush, Yes, or Floyd. Take your pick. Sad they’re so unknown here in the States. I love that reaction channels are starting to change that.

Dam I've been a fan since 2009 Night Wish was my number one Symphonic Metal band of all time

Floor & Marko's epic harmony at the end would make an amazing alarm tone for mobiles.

I loved the way she started with a low growl, caught him up, overtook him, then met him on the way back down, and finished in harmony

"I Want My Tears BACK" is the Perfect song to see Troy! Not many bands can add uilleann pipes( Irish bagpipes) to their repertoire! If you watch the Waken 13' concert you will also see Emmpu's playfulness, as he pulls Foor's battery pack for her in ear monitors out.😆 And she doesn't skip a beat! And can we just acknowledge the drummer Jukka?!?! He is a beast on the drums! The thing about Nightwish is how tight they are. The way their music pieces are put together. If they miss a note it will knock everything off! I am a old school Heavy Rock and Metal fan and they are right up my alley.

Loved the HIM in the intro background. ❤️

That was a great reaction - you had me laughing, smiling and Nightwish always has me crying! Keep the reactions coming!

Loved it! 🖤 Love your excitement! And floorgasms 😁 Nightwish is the 8th world wonder 🖤

Next reaction: Nightwish - "The Greatest Show On Earth" live at Tampere.

If you like Nightwish try - EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith

so glad you gotcher mind blown...keep exploring and enjoying

I just love that your Dad is I to this. Yes!! Nightwish forever.

lyrics God love and rest my soul With this sundown never ending The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail I am the decadence of your world I am an eider covered in oil Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore Tell me why No heart to cry Hang me high The music is dead, the amen is said The kiss of faith is what I beg A loving heart 'n soul for sale Tell me why Leave me be And cease to tell me how to feel To grieve, to shield myself from evil Leave me be Ode of lies is killing me Romanticize Till love do me part See me ruined by my own creations Leave me be Dead Boy's alive but without sense I need a near-death experience Heart once bold Now turned to stone Perfection my messenger from hell Wine turns to water Campfires freeze, love letters burn Romance is lost Lord, let me be wrong in this pain Temporary pain, eternal shame To take part in this devil's chess game Spit on me, let go, get rid of me And try to survive your stupidity

lets goo 😂🤘 check Song of Myself Storytime Ghost River I Want My Tears Back for troy folk sound

The best background music ❤️

Vielen Dank an meinen freund. Ja, you will find all their songs are bangers like this. Like your Vater this became my favorite group after hearing them. Keep them coming and we will be here.

HIM in the intro 😎 Maybe react to them sometime! Also from Finland, and we also love Hockey here 😉

Hi Tank. I would recommend the demonic growls of Floor on "Yours is an empty hope" live at Wembley arena 2015, but I'm afraid your head might fall off.

Lot of representation for us Finns on this video, loved hearing HIM in the background on the intro.

Welcome to the world of Nightwish! 😁 Digg them, feel them, love them.

One of Emppu's best guitar solos is in "High Hopes" (Helsinki 2005). It's a Pink Floyd cover more powerfull than the original. Many PF fans say it's better than the original. Marko is at his best on vocals!, Jukka on drums! and Tuomas creates an eerie, haunting atmosphere with his keys, and the reaction of the audience tells it all. Great performance.

First time ever i heard some foreigner using HIM as a backround music. and on "i want my tears back" there was old school In Flames. Im blown away about your music taste.

greatest show on earth. thats a must see its like 15 mins

Loved you authentic reactions...welcome to the nightwish family....the best band period. Story time, song of myself, evergreen, greatest show on earth will move you to sheer floorgasms over and over. Enjoy!!!
