When floor is in valkyri mode with the whole crowd pumping their fists and chanting in unison, all shed have to say is .......pillage the countryside and bring me my tribute! The surrounding cities and towns would be fucked. Lol!
It's so nice to hear Ghost Love Score for the 1876235th time and still have goosebumps with someone enjoying it for the first time... Great reaction man! That's how you do it. Go back, listen to it again, comment what you feel and bring us back the feeling we had when we watched this performance for the first time! And yeah... If she order the Nightwish Army in there to plunder the city and bring her tribute, Wacken wouldn't exist today... LOL
This the first song of the Nightwish Holy Trinity and the perfect song to start off with. The Nightwish army will soon be here with many great individual suggestions. If yu have too many suggestions follow Gabriel's advice.......only things I would add is that there are certain "rules" you should follow when listening the Nightwish. First listen to the live versions. The songs literally "come alive". Next there is the "Annette" exception; poor girl is probably #3 of the 3 vocalist in Nightwish......and still one of the best singers in the world.......the "Holy Ghost" to Tarja's "Son" and Floor's "Father".......some may switch those around but they are wrong (just kidding, Nightwish fans are almost unvirersally cool and give each singer the respect they deserve)........the "Annette exception" is that you want to listen to her studio versions.....and better yet her videos.......Toumas writes to the singers talents and this is no more evident than with Annette. Check out the studio video for "Scaretale" to see what I mean.........Tarja was the first vocalists and the most operatic voice of all.......in addition to the Nightwish songs she sings, you must check out the cover of "Phantomof the Opera".......now back to the Holy Triinity.....""The Poet & the Pendulum" and "The Greatest Show on Earth"........there sre not just songs; the are musical novellas. Get some bangers under your belt from the Wacken, Buenos Aires. Tampere and Wembley live shows........then read the lyrics for "Greatest Show..." and check out Tampere.......and fo a special kick, check out the ending of the Wembley show.......read the lyrics and you'll appreciate this so much more.........now as to "Poet".....you aint ready for that yet......read the history of the band and the "Goodbye" letters written by the band to Tarja and her response to understand the anguish Tuomas went through and put into that song......he had to sacrifice a family member to keep the rest of family alive when they had to fire Tarja. Again these are ot simply songs; they are poignent stories that you should get a bit of familiarity with before you listen.
Holy shit this is well written. I will indeed follow those rules as I already feel that the army just wants the best experience possible for me and any other reactor. I love that. My very first video was Phantom of the Opera by the way as this is a very special song to me. I decided to start with that one ;). The poet and the pendulum will have a special video dedicated to it I think as it has become clear to me that I NEED to be fully invested and in the know before i do it. Thanks so much for your comment and advice!
This song from this concert was my introduction to Nightwish about a year ago. And Jukka is definitely special. Not many drummers grab my attention like he does. He is truly missed on that stage. Greetings from the USA 🇺🇸😁
God yes she knows she killed it and that would be the ending note she needed to do on every live performance after this!! Lol this song I think was almost everyone’s intro to Nightwish and the performance/song that made us all hooked in love with the entire band instantly lol pretty sure my playlist for my car has never left Nightwish for many months now!! Lol I couldn’t believe being in the US how many of us never even heard of this band but I’m soo happy that Floor was able to draw us all in with her Beste Zangers performances!!
@@sarabanas1447 I found Nightwish a long time ago, back when Tarja was the singer actually 😊 When she quit I had a hard time accepting it and chose to not listen to their new albums after that. I just continued with all my CDs I already had 💿 Then, what seems like a hundred years later, I came across Floors version of this song here on RU-vid and I have to admit that I like it even more than when Tarja sang it. It is so powerful! And like you say, that ending note is amazing 🤩
Hello from the USA. Great reactions so far! Since you were questioning yourself on band members here’s a breakdown: Tuomas H- Composer/lyricist/keyboardist: Originator of the band Empuu V. - Guitarist/Recording Bassist: Original member Tarja T. - Vocalist: Original member; let go in 2005(there’s still hard feelings about this, so go gently) Sami - Tour Bassist: Original Touring Musician Jukka N.- Drummer/Percussionist: Original Member; had to step away in 2014 for his health; still helps run the business side of the band Marko/Marco H.- Bassist/Vocalist/Composer : enters the band around 2000; is taking at least 2021 off, open ended possibilities afterwards Annette- Vocalist: very strong in studio, most feel her live performances lack something; left/was let go halfway through the 2012/2013 Imaginaerum World Tour Troy D.- Pipes/ Whistles/Bouzouki/Guitar/Vocalist: essentially what can’t he play?! Brought in to do session work with the band between 2007-2012, made a full member Fall of 2013 after completing the Imaginaerum World Tour Floor J.- Vocalist: Brought in just to finish the Imaginaerum World Tour with 48hours to learn the entire set list(there’s a great documentary about this time here on YT, worth a watch); officially announced as a full member of the band with Troy in Fall 2013 Kai H.- Drummer/Percussionist: Asked by Jukka to take his spot(they are friends) in the early demo days of the creation of Endless Forms Most Beautiful album(Summer 2014) By no means a complete list of the members’ various and valuable contributions to the music industry, as several of them have/had solo careers or other band/group projects, this is ONLY meant as a basic primer on who you can expect to see based on the date of any given video. Hope this helps!
Oh I am sure that all singers have their strengths and weaknesses. They all get a fair chance and I will not be negative of any. I am just very curious of the backstory. I am about to watch a few videos to help me understand what happened around 2005.
"I Want My Tears Back" Buenos Aires is a very good performance. With Troy, the multi-instrumentalist. The Argentinian crowd is amazing. (Your English in more than good enough.)
@@VikingReacts your english is really good, i did not realise you were dutch, i am dutch, so i can pick the dutch accent, but with you i could not tell...
This is also the most reacted song in the YT. So we have seen this quite a many times with some reactors and without any 😅. Jukka is always in to drumming. Good drummer is the singer's best friend. Emppu has Corona beer there 🍺. And his solo is so delicate. The interlude is from the original. The crowd control is insane! And then the flames comes to Floor's mouth. And the end is history of floorgasms. That's that. Glad you liked and greetings from snowy northern Finland! ⛄❄👍
That is what I meant with the top notch musician. They seem to enjoy themselves and give it all they have. At least... that is what it seems like to me. They are made for this profession. Greetings to you to my friend. From wet Amsterdam :P
@@VikingReacts Their chemistry has been great for a while now. It's sad and a great loss that Marko resigned a while ago. He was a really important piece of the band. Let's hope that it's not "The End".
Goosebumps? Every *f'n'* time! ;) "Little did he know. ;) " ; "I bet you guys are laughing now." Yep. :P:How many people.." Yep, a Wacken '13 reaction. ;P A : 82,000
Hallo Viking, thanks for your reaction , i loved it!!! Everybody in Nightwish is amazing, there is no day without Nightwish since i heard them for the first time january last year. You will be amazed after every song you react to, so.......until your next reaction. Tot ziens
all members of nightwish are great....and they have so much fun with the audience and herself.thats how a band can play live and all of this group sing and reach ........floor and marko in duet......oh my gott.for me she and he buildt all tones in one......sooo good
After that crazy high note I always think: "yaaasss Queen! Dance it out! That was amazing! You rocked it!" And the little shout out to the guys she gestures at the end talks about the appreciation and respect she has for them, especially being the newest member of the band at the time
There's some info on video before music starts: "Taken from the live DVD/Blu-ray 'Showtime, Storytime' ". That's why the sound is so good! But NW always have a good sound in their live performances!!!!
That is called a "Floorgasm". Listened to this song well over a hundred times and still tear on the last note. Cannot wait for more of your reactions with Floor and Nightwish.
I will check out other singers and even bands as well obviously. But so far... Floor is awesome. Tarja as well by the way. Can't judge Anette yet... but i will check her out as well. I have to admit at blasting Ghost Love Score at full volume through my living room after recording this video. My neighbours must have loved it... or not... i don't care :P
Yep that's correct best live band ever , My I suggest the song "I Want My Tears Back" live in Buenos Aries 2018, and you will get to see Troy Donockley playing his Irish Uilleann Pipes & tin Whistles
Hey Viking Reacts! Great reaction! I'm familiar with chills all over because of Floor singing since about 2000, when my friend Chris introduced me to After Forever, Floor's first band. If you want to explore Floor in her early 20's, I reccommend 'Monolith of doubt" live in the kopspijkers tv show in 2002! Stay healthy!
I actually know her from her After Forever days. I was at the Remagine Album Release concert in 2005. I never followed up on her though... But... good to know about kopspijkers as I didn't know that ;)
@@VikingReacts I read that you want to do nightwish wednesday, because it's Odins day. Maybe it's better to make it Nightwish Friday, since that's Freya's day. That's the name of Floor's daughter!
"I need more Floor" 😂😂dude who doesn't?? She's from another dimension❤ and you just watched the band the performance and the singer with the most reactions in the history of RU-vid
Nightwish is a unit. All band members are important. That's what makes NW so special. Marco and Floor are so good at singing together. You'll find out.
Wanna hear the angel growl? Yours is an empty hope, Wembley, not the cruise ship one. You'll see when you look it up. Troy does pipes and flutes and every darn thing else he touches.
Ahh, you had a regular case of Floorgasm! Goosebumps, speechless, yup a Floorgasm. Onto Storytime and Dark Chest of Wonders of this show, oh and Ghost River.
In more than twenty years they have never let me down, with Floor they have reached completeness! Floor, what a voice, what an interpretation, what a stage presence, thank you for all this! You can't get lost the cover of Floor, Adagio I'm curious to see your reaction, later you will tell us! See you soon.
Floor and Sabaton's (former?) drummer have a kid. 1st: That's the ultimate metal baby. 2nd: Can you imagine the lullabies? 3rd: Based on second, Floor did cover "Let it Go" because her daughter loves it and she got sick of the disney one.
Jukka is a phenomenal drummer!! I miss this guy so much. He is always so animated 😄 Floor is by far the best singer out in this world right now! Adore this woman so much ❤️ PS: this band is always better live 🤟🏼
Floor Jensen, first of her name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish, protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. This rabbit hole you are about to go down has no way back. Enjoy the ride.
Greetings from Germany.... I was in that Crowd 2013 ... Fun Fact ... i allmost didnt By the Tickets because of Anette, desided well fuck it, i buy them anyway, Turned out to be the very best Nighwish Concert I have ever seen ... :)
Yes, I am curious of that one as Phantom of the Opera is special to me and I know Henk Poort from the role of the Phantom! I will sure as hell check that out!
Welcome mr. Viking. Welcome to the wonderful world if Nightwish. You are in for a treat. Nice reaction btw. Suggestion would be Weak Fantasy (Tampere) and Song of Myself (Wacken 2013). Goede Engelse uitspraak!
Hey there, love your reaction and welcome to the world of Nightwish. Jukka ia the best drummer ever and we miss him. Love the voice of our Dutch Valkerine Floor Jansen and you have also listen the show opener Dark Chest of Wonders, Storytime, Ever Dream and even better the whole Wacken concert and you will be blown away 🤟🤟. Greetings from the Netherlands
the North German(Kiel) Division of the Nightwish Army reports !! We are there. special greetings to #GabrielBardac and of course the rest of the Nightwish army I love Your all!! :)
Bedankt namens nightwish army devisie Epe😁 Mijn favoriet “Seven days to the wolves” met Troy op bouzouki, of voor wat meer “growl” yours is an empty hope, Wembley version!
You made it! You made me and many others subscribe! The thing about Nightwish and the thing about Floor... it gets you back for more! (See that rhymed so it must be true) Do Storytime next, actually just do any random Nightwish song and I'll be there to watch it with you but please do Storytime next. ^^
Haha, Storytime won't be far off. Just be aware that I will react to other bands as well ;). I'll dedicate a day in the week to Nightwish I guess as it is very easy to just do Nightwish now :P
Because of your channel name - at some point - you HAVE to react to... ... Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars ps. You will find there also one "Nightwish easter egg" pps. And yes, please more Nightwish also :)
Wish that you hade let thoose tears out. I saw them in the corner of your eyes... We all get them. Nothing to be ashamed about! Love your NW reactions. Keep them coming and eventually you will hear yet another dimension of Floors singing abilities.
I am not ashamed to let tears flow ;). Some stuff has been happening in my life over the last few months. Depression and the loss of a dear family member being one of them. My tears are always there in the corner. This channel helps a lot. I feel i am slowly finding a new family and a hole in my heart is now being filled with music. These are the main reasons why I started the channel and why I, for example, do NOT want donations of any kind as well. This is musical love and healing. Thanks for your comment :)
If you want to help people understand that depression is a thing that can come to anyone, please mention that it even happened to you. It helps people to have someone to relate to. Wish you all the best!! 💙
The vocalist Floor Jansen is definitely a queen. And she has her king, Hannes van Dahl, who is the drummer of Swedish metal band Sabaton. You wanna get your channel up, check them out. They do songs all about history, and talk about things you don't learn a lot about in school. Sabaton is worth a listen, trust me. First song I heard from them was "Bismarck," and I've been hooked ever since! Give them a listen bro!
you can react of floors covers.she made it in carantine.and i love it.another way is beste zangers she performered .4 of this guys dont know how good she is before she tell songs in another way and make it her own songs.
Floor is the Valkerie Queen that assembles the masses unites them all to go to war against mordor. Then the Blue Haired angry Pixie General Alissa takes over and with "arch enemey - Nemesis (wacken) " runs us all into battle to obliterate the enemy. The moment Floor goes "hey Hey Hey!" ok assemble, where we going? i dont care ready for battle! Then i listen to Alissa's intro in Nemesis, and we go full berzerker mode against the enemy.
one of the best floorgasms ive seen in a while. subbing to see more of them :) plus you seem like a nice dude so that helps ;) im also very happy you appreciate the drummer, hes so tight
Thanks for the sub! I am glad you liked it and I really appreciate the compliment :). Jukka is my new hero when it comes to the music so far. Curious of Kai though...
@@VikingReacts if you wanna see kai go off in a nightwish song, devil and the deep dark ocean, live in buenos aires. tbh the whole band goes off in that song, i highly recommend it
Ghost River is my vote for the next one....It has a great energy and a small intro to some Floor growls...It has some hardcore Marco and redic riffs....It is one of my favorites
