Thank you for your reaction! You can't go wrong with any Nightwish song ❤🔥 Another song/band you could react to is "Christmas Truce" by Sabaton, as it's this time of the year ❄ I think you'll enjoy it!
@@Jota666 Floor solo stuff I guess. She has some great performances online. About your Tarja statement....well what can I say...more people attend NW gigs than ever ;)
@@kukol123 Obviously, it is now extremely easy to access concerts HAHAHA, but I repeat, there is no important album or song since Tarja left the band, Nightwish is Tarja, it hurts whoever it hurts
@@Jota666 You can have your opinion about the importance and all that but it is simply not for you to decide what is important and what is not. It is up to the fans and the number of fans is growing not decreasing. Tarja was and still is a great singer but Nightwish is still out there without her.
@@Jota666 These songs do not belong to Tarja. According to your definition she only covered the songs that Tuomas has composed. Let's not be silly and give the credit to the singers who do their part to make the song sound. No matter former or recent.
I am really enjoying your journey with Nightwish. It's great to see someone new to them be so totally into their music. You asked about Marko. Marko Hietala is a beloved figure in Finnish metal. He was one of the first to introduce the genre in that country and has continued to be very active for his entire career. If you wish to see him taking the lead in Nightwish, check out "The Islander" live at Tampere, "High Hopes" (magnificent) from the End of an Era concert, "Kiss While your Lips are Still Red" from Wembley and the superb lyric video that was his last song with Nightwish "Endlessness." In addition, Marko has his own band - "Tarot" and you should check out "Tides" live. He has performed as part of the supergroup "Northern Kings". He recorded his own album "Pyre of the Black Heart" in both Finnish and English and was just recently a guest artist on the group "Exit Eden's" song "Run." Yes, I am a dedicated Marko fan.
I recommend the documentary-style videos about Floor, as well as the “day-in-the-life” videos Floor has on her RU-vid channel, to see just how down-to-earth she is.
The craziness of this band is when you think you love them tons they do something else that makes you love them even more. Floor is my favorite singer ever and her personality really is just amazing as her talent.
When it comes to Finnish metal, Marko can be considered as one of the pioneers. Since the early 80's he's been singing and playing. Marko released his first solo album in 2019 called Mustan Sydämen Rovio which he later translated in English; Pyre of the Black Heart. The Voice of My Father is a song people usually react to first. Now that Christmas is closing in I'd like to recommend that you check out our beloved Christmas tour Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas). It's a popular annual Christmas song tour where Finnish and some foreign metal artists tour around the country singing traditional Christmas songs with a metal twist. It started in 2004 and Marko has been involved since the beginning. Floor has also taken part for many years now. A couple of songs I would suggest for you to check are Marko's and Floor's duet of Ave Maria ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AqsnIzOd8AM.html And Floor O Holy Night but in Finnish. And pregnant. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ym1Wc5dmUYc.html Thanks for your reactions, really liking them!
Floor has been through a lot in a little over a year, breast cancer and surviving it, first solo record, pregnancy and today the first gig after giving birth. I was at a Nightwish gig in the middle of June in Kitee Nightwish's hometown when Floor was very pregnant, the next day she was taken to the hospital after the gig, luckily it was just exhaustion.
It's been suggested by others, but Christmas Truce by Sabaton will interest you. It's a brilliant song based on historical events (like most Sabaton songs. They have an excellent history channel too). Floor's husband is the drummer, and Floor sings the outro.
I have often said that Floor's voice touches your soul, some times the tears may flow for no other reason than her voice resonating inside your soul. Glad to see you continuing your Nightwish journey. New subscriber after your Phantom review with Tarja. Keep learning about the band. There are a few videos out there to fill you. Might be useful info when you get to some of the heavy hitting songs. It would be helpful to see what happened to some of the band members along the way. Follow Gabriel Bardacs recommendations (probably in your first reaction comments) and brief history. Keep up the good work.
There is something special about Jukka's performance on drums. He's just fun to watch, in a way that few other drummers can match. I get a little of that from Paulina from The Warning, a 3 piece hard rock band of sisters from Mexico that you need to check out one of these days.
Starting to fall in love with the band a bit are we? Welcome to the army Stacey. Nightwish seems to speak to your soul, and you can't explain how or why, you just have to roll with it. This song is about longing for love and it hits hard. Maybe you should listen to a song that's about trying to get free from a toxic love. This one is a bit more metal. Romanticide! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zz_7OCCQlXs.html
Just came from a solo concert of Floor at the AFAS live ( Amsterdam) for me just the best singer in the world , with the support act from Anneke van Giersbergen and the duet with her sister Irene an evening not to forget , couple of hours pure joy , hope you continue your Nightwish journey and my suggestion is to watch the Beste zangers show 2019 , lots of great music
_"My song can but borrow your grace"_ Lovely lyrics in this one! I'd recommend that you check out the lyrics for just about any Nightwish song. I'd rank Tuomas' lyrics very high, the man's a true poet! I mentioned in your previous Nightwish reaction that Tarja was a bit of a acquired taste for me; it took me a little time before I truly appreciated her style. When it comes to "Ever Dream", it was kind of the other way around - it's one of my favourite songs from the olden days, and I associated it so strongly with Tarja that it sounded "off" when I first heard Floor's version. Floor's version's got a different vibe than the original one, but after hearing it a few times more something just "clicked". I really love this version now, and its different energy complements the original rather than "replaces" it. I didn't expect yet another Nightwish reaction this soon! Neat, glad that you're enjoying the band!
Jukka, in my opinion is one of if not the most underrated drummers in the metal genre. Since my first Nightwish experience I found him and his style phenomenal. I would in my opinion place him among the most talented and best drummers in the world
There are several songs where it is only Marko who sings, but the song i feel will fill all your needs is "High Hopes" the Nightwish tribute to Pink Floyd. You'll love that song, no doubt about it from me, and ty for more Nightwish reactions :D
Hi Stacey, question / remark: If you like Floor (Nightwish) and Simone (Epica) Than I have something for you ! Check Ayreon !!! Begin with: Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down - The Source (2017) song / composition 13min (sort) with 11 main singers also Floor and Simone ! After that Check Ayreon - Everybody Dies (Ayreon Universe) LIVE also with Floor ! I'm very, very, very sure you will like and love it ! And there much form Ayreon. It's Prog/ metal / rock of the highest level. all songs are a story line. So when you dive in not the order of the song ! If you want to see and hear the composer / creator, Arjen Anthony Lucassen then check the song: Ayreon - Garden of Emotions (Electric Castle Live And Other Tales) LIVE ! The first singer is Arjen ! If you want to see Marko (from Nightwish) Check Ayreon River of time (Universe). You Will LOVE it and want to see more and more......and more ! THIS NEW FOR YOU !!!
I suggest you try "storytime", "ghost love score", "romanticide", "wish i had an angel", "ghost river", "amaranth", " son of myself", "dark chest of wonders" live from wacken 13 too And also "want my tears back" and "dead boys poem" live from buenos aires "The poet and the pendulum" and "your is an empty hope" live from wembley "The greatest show on earth" live from tampere
If you want to hear a stand alone song with Marko and Nightwish please checkout The song High Hopes a Pink Floyd tribute. Also there is a Third back up singer called Troy who is a multi instrumentalist and a great song to check both Troy and Floor only singing How's the heart Acoustic version and Nemo Acoustic version the Raw power of Floor is exposed there. Thank you
Love your reactions so far !! If you want to hear marco and floor together, with nightwish's third singer added also, react to nighwish i want my tears back from buenos aires 2019. It has to be the most fun performance from nightwish :) Or, for the christmas spirit, marco and floor doing ave maria together ;)
Marko is featured in a fairly new video from Exit Eden called Run! It is great. He also sings in several Nightwish songs, The Islander, While Your Lips are Still Red and Nightwish’s tribute to Pink Floyd’s High Hopes.🤘🎸
Hello again StaceyRPG. Breathtaking performance indeed. Every song in this legendary concert is terrific. Floor is perfect for this band and this was her first big European festival with Nightwish, while she was not yet an official member. It is one of many amazing live Nightwish concert performances such as Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015, Masters of Rock 2016, Buenos Aires 2018, Hellfest 2022 and Deichbrand 2022. But since you are checking out Wacken 2013, here is a link to every song in that show. Enjoy. ru-vid.com/group/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M
Stacy, Floor has not left Nightwish. She has started a solo career besides NW. That is different. In 2024 their new album comes out from NW. She has done in 2022 a solo concert here in Amsterdam and she sang songs from her first band After Forever (she started at the age of 16, from her own band Revamp when she was in her twenties and joined Nightwish in 2012, starting in Seattle, That is a very nice story how this happened. Ever since she was very regular seen in the US (even this year) and tonight on the 8th. she starts again her solo appearance after giving birth from her second girl almost two months ago. BTW, listening to all Floor's songs it cost you about one year if you do one single a day. She has had many side projects because it seems that everybody wants to do something with her. When Floor is involved, it is a hit! Greetings from The Netherlands.
For an actual soft song recommend Dead Boys Poem, Nemo, Sleeping Sun, Elan, among many others. Also acoustic version of Hows the Heart at Planet Rock with Troy on guitar..also Marco on lead at Wembley on Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red and Marco leads on The Islander at Tampiere
Great reaction. Nightwish gets better and better. The whole band is so Nice they feel like family after a while. Keep up the good work. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤❤❤
Well, if you're expanding then perhaps you might enjoy Floor on her own. IMO not to be missed. I don't consider myself a Nightwish fan like the majority of the folks you'll find here. I'm really a fan of Floor's and her solo projects, which, after seeing her solo performances from her appearance on the Dutch tv show Beste' Zangers solidified my fandom of Floor and she introduced me to Nightwish. So, to promote Floor I'm going to take the liberty of posting a selected playlist of live performances that I consider the most enjoyable for me from her catalog of solo projects. 2019 - Beste' Zangers Solo cover of "Shallow" (Lady Gaga) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M68pe4a_9zk.html Duet cover of "Phantom of the Opera" w/ Henk Poort - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-plCScjvDOJM.html Classical, cover of "Vilja Lied" in German - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lcLG5X1i2QM.htmlsi=HUiy9AYavOrwSANH 2021 - solo Amsterdam Concert **You will find these are from her channel and the entire concert is there, professionally taped provided by her fans through crowdsourcing** "Storm in a Glass" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ax5nSPB9t8.html "Slow, Love, Slow" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bBG8GdyLYDk.html "Nemo" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uebh4TuP_Xg.html 2022 - Singles from her 2023 released solo album. There are music videos of these singles but I prefer the more organic live versions.

Great list Bert. One thing I'd like you to consider is recommending the English subbed versions of the Beste Zangers 2019 material, found on the "Floor op TV" channel. With the before/after banter included it provides for an even better experience (and ppl are not treated to that ghastly BZ outro right after the performance). There's a playlist on that channel titled "Beste Zangers 2019". Warmly recommended. Cheers from Amsterdam! Oh, l!nk: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N-x5mML-PR8.html&pp=iAQB
Marko Hietala has been singing from the 80's and his long time band before NW is named "Tarot" 🤘 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot_(band) - Cheers from the same city Marko and the band is from 🍺
That was true at this time but has been replaced by Shoemaker from the Human Nature album. When the band first released the album they didn't think they would be able to pull if off live with it's rapid pitch changes and odd time signatures that Tuomas had written for their storytelling effect. They gave it a go in the first virtual concert in May of 2021 and it was so successful it became a regular part of the setlist for the whole Human Nature tour. I love the lyric video of the song with it's epic visuals to go with the epic song, especially the ending but I also love the live performances from Hellfest and Deichbrand in 2022.
If you want to be melted by Floor, watch the Buenos Aires 2018 performance of Dead Boy's Poem... You also get to see Jukkas friend Kaitsu who took over the drums when Jukka had to give up. He's as good ... See Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean in the Buenos Aires show to see him and see Floor and Marco together in call and answer in one of my top 5 NW songs.
If you like Marco and Floor together, you just have to react to "7 Days To The Wolves" at Wembley. And yes, Marco has sung in other bands plus he has his own fairly recent solo album out. He quit music for a year or so due to personal reasons, but is back with solo concerts and guest appearances like he has always done.
This concert is great. You can’t go wrong with any of the songs. I would however strongly recommend if you are going to do “I want my tears back” you should do Buenos Aires 2019. Floor is called the “Valkyrie Queen”!
I think it is time for "The Islander" live in Tampere. That is an epic song and it does feature a lot of Marco. Also since leaving Nightwish he has put out the single "The Voice of My Father" in Finnish and in English. It is worth a listen too. He is really good, he infact won a season of the "Masked Singer" here in Finland.
Great reaction Stacey! Nightwish is so much fun. Definitely check Nightwish - High Hopes (End Of An Era) where Marko takes a lead role. It's a Pink Floyd song and the Nightwish guys have said that it's not a cover, it's a tribute.
Loving your reactions to NW! Floor is a goddess! And the band is just the best! Hope you get to some more of the songs soon! And I'd still like to watch you react to some Ayreon Live! Most people start with Everybody Dies. But all the songs in that concert are amazing!
Thank you for your reaction, and Floor and Nightwish will continue to amaze. I have discovered them and her 4 years ago, still amazed, and need my daily fix.
6:37 Jukka "the drumer" is in the hous!!!! 6:45 Jukka starts the engine(double bass drum) and floor is unstoppable the light show goes on... i love the drums.. nice greeting from Nightwish Army Germany
Floor is married to the drummer of Sabaton. Since it's Christmas time..... I can't speak highly enough of The Christmas Truce. by Sabaton. Stick around for the credits, Floor makes a special appearance.
Just found you doing GLS and excited to have you react to Ever Dream! I love them too and enjoy your reactions! You are the everyday girl just checking out different music! Im a new fan! I would love for you to react to The Warning... a band of sisters from Mexico that are starting to make it big! There video from the 2023 MTV awards is super cool! Love Erica Scottsdale Az
Wow, you got it ❤ Yes, Floor is a Goddess. 😇 To be precise. The Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. ❤ Jukka aka the Pirate is a beast behind the drums 😊. Hail Nightwish
She is not 6.5f..who told U that:)..She is simple a bit over 180 cm,like all average model girls in Europe..are U all the dwarves so all the time mentioning this stuff..:))
Floor's man plays drums in Sabaton. worth listening to! Swedish group dealing with the history of war. I love this song called - A Lifetime In War. live in Gothenburg. subtitles on
Awws, da cat 😸 Next one will be Romanticode, I think. But one I would love is Tarja - Unforgiven in metal church, that is not many times reacted, so could be really good ro do. ;)
Great reaction tx, you should also have to see and react to floor singing the phantom of the opera with henk poort in a program called "Beste zangers 2019" best duet ever :) greetings from Holland
Welcome to the deep rabbit hole! Your reaction is wonderful and plausible. It's great that you jumped on the bandwagon. You won't regret it. :-) My tips are "While Your Lips Are Still Red" (Live at Wembley Arena) and "Dead Boy's Poem" (Live in Buenos Aires). Great singing from Marco und Dead Boy's Poem ... well get a handkerchief ready.
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194Just a lot of logistical issues with getting there. I was due to see her concert in Bloemendaal last July but she had to cancel it due to exhaustion. Hoping to see the rescheduled show next July, and if she comes to the UK at any point before then, I will definitely be going!
@@bujin1977 Well, logistical issues is not the worst that could've happened. Still sucks. They're probably doing something special, Irene and Anneke are there too. We'll soon find out.
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194Yeah, absolutely. Could have much worse reasons for not going. I *will* get to see her live show sometime in the next year! Would have been good to see the three of them this evening though. Just have to look out for the fan videos on yoututbe over the next few days!
For more Marko, check out 'Bye bye Beautiful' - It's an Anette song but Marko proabably spends more time on the mic. For a seasonal treat, react to 'Naughty Christmas' by Lacuna Coil - another Female/Male vocal Italian metal band 🤘
Good reaction. Did see Floor live yesterday. Amazing performance. She is great live and was very happy to be back. Thanks for this reaction. Subscribed.
As a side note, if you choose a video by Nightwish always pick the Wacken version if possible. Most times it's the best-looking and sounding version. Not sure what was in the air that night, but all these years later it's still magic.
Yes sadly Marko left Nightwish but you can still hear him on their latest album now he has been focusing to his solo work and multiple other projects maybe now for the holiday season I should mention the annual Finnish heavy Christmas tour with Marko and other super talented Finnish singers also Floor has visited in this project few years ago..
You have no talent??? 😱 🤦 You broadcast to potentially millions and you come across really well on camera. Don't EVER do yourself down, young lady! 🤘❤️🔥
Hey Stacey, great reaction and i´m glad you found Nightwish and Floor Jansen. With that in mind she also appears with other artists in some truly amazing duets. I hope you will listen to Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show cause that is to me personally the metal duet of our lifetimes. So much power...
To get to know Floor better as a person there are lots of interviews to find on RU-vid. Also on her channel Floor uploaded many personal videos during the lockdown period which are certainly very interesting to watch.
Nightwish is the best at symphonic metal, has been for many years. Also check out Within Temptation the Black Symphony concert it was filmed at the Rotterdam hall with the orchestra backing them up.
During the pandemic, Floor started a YT channel, to keep in touch with the fans during lockdown. She made home videos of covers, started her Storytime series, where she interviewed musical friends, showed us how she was spending her days, her horses, her dog, she land, and her husband(Sabaton drummer, Hannes Van Dahl)who videoed everything. She is everything a Superstar should be. Humble, open, and delightful. You should check THAT out as well!!
First thing, J's are pronounced as Y,'s. Floor Yansen W's as V's. Vah-ken. Do not say floor sounds like Amy Lee! Floor is miles above her! Did General Gabriel send his letter to you? The Nightwish Army welcomes you! Arkansas Div. here! You will tear up alot. This band does that. 82,000 here in Germany this legendary night! Jukka the drummer retired after this concert season was over.. Medically. Kai the new drummer took his spot.
So happy you've discovered Nightwish, and such a pleasure to hear you appreciate almost every part of the band :-) Please, please, please just keep going down Gabriels list. Don't jump around. Don't listen to people who say you should do whatever else next. Follow. His. List. The list will introduce you to various aspects of Nightwish in a controlled manner, and using the best performances available for each song. Do yourself a favor, follow the list. Learn from the people who came before you.
