    Hello Drake [ 2 Hoodeez @ 3 C@tz ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
    Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 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.
    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 [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 posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community

    Re Floor's vocals, I've read that her range for singing is C3 to F6, and she also does growls. Contemporary, classical, belting, Floor pretty much sings whatever the hell she wants to sing, truely one of the most versatile sings out there.

Performed by a talented group of musicians who are artists in their own right. They collaborate to play for the music, not to showcase their individual talents, which are great.

    Hello
    Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
    Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
    They are from Finland.
    And they make Symphonic Metal.
    What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
    Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
    And that's what makes this band so unique.
    Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
    There were 82,000 people there.
    I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
    Watch out for the Nightwish Army.

    Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. The band is from Finland, 3rd and current lead singer Floor Jansen(Yan-sen) is Dutch.
    The mastermind is the keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen. He writes and composes 90-95% of the songs. Also on stage here are drummer Jukka Nevalainen, guitarist 'Emppu' Vuorinen, and bassist Marko Hietala. Tuomas and Emppu are founders, and with Floor, are the 3 still in the band today.
    There is an orchestra, but it's on track, recorded with the London Philharmonic.
    All 15 songs at this show were recorded with one of the first 2 lead singers, Floor had only been in the band about 10 months here in front of 82k fans, having taken over mid tour. She added her touches , including the ending on this, and made them her own. Ghost Love Score is #13 on the setlist.
    You can't go by this one song, every song is different. This is their 3rd longest song to date. 9 full albums out, # 10 will be released in September.
    Look for Gabriel Bardac's ( he'll be here soon) comment for more info and links to a lot of their songs. Suggest "Romanticide" from this concert.

    This was from Wacken (pronounced Vah-ken) Open Air, which is the largest metal festival in the world. The festival takes place in the small village of Wacken, Germany.
    Gabriel will be around to provide amazing information and links to a list of songs you can react to. There is no right or wrong order and no right or wrong way to react to Nightwish.

    Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
    This is called Symphonic Metal !!!
    Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
    Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
    Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6) and the most versatile singer in our time !!!
    She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
    Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
    From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. And Yesterwynde is the upcoming tenth studio album, and is set to be released on 20 September 2024 by Nuclear Blast.
    And the master of this magic is:
    Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
    Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
    This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
    We hope, that there is more coming. So, Take Gabriel's list as a guide to your journey. We are on Standby mode for now ....
    NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘.

    Floor Jansen is Dutch and stands 6ft and a bit tall. Studied at the Rock Academy Tilburg (city in The Netherlands) for 4 years (rock and metal). After she did a year Musical Theatre and a year Belcanto at the conservatory. She started singing in a band called After Forever at age 16 and worked for a few years as a vocal coach. She took over as a lead singer for NW in 2011, when the former singer quit in the middle of the American Tour. She finished the tour as a substitute and officially joined NW a year later. She's been NW's leadsinger since. She's the mother of 2 and married to Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of the band Sabaton. She lives in Sweden. You can also find a lot of solo work of her on YT and she appears regularly in albums of Ayreon (musical project by Dutch songwriter, singer, musician and record producer Arjen Anthony Lucassen). She's also done some singing for other bands, like Sabaton and Evergrey.

    Nightwish can be pretty epic, but also heavy, storytelling is also a important factor here, how we see humans, the universe, evolotion is keywords, keyboard player Tuomas holapainen compose and write almost everything and is key founder of the band.. but as a symphonic metal band they also work with London philharmonic symphony orchestra, and choirs, so you stumbled upon one of the best bands in the world, with incredible musicans, composer, and singer.. this journey can changer you life..
    As Tuomas is the king, Floor Jansen is our valkyrie godess, the queen!!
    but as said all members are sublime musicians.. Empuu on guitar, Kai on Drums Jukka on bass, and Troy can play every instrument that exist.. i think...
    I see Gabriel Bardac also made a comment here, he is general in NW army, follow hes advice on where to go on journey, and take a left and right turn sometimes where you like to..

    Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish, a band consisting of extremely accomplished musicians, all playing for the song. You will find no egos here. Nightwish's songs range from lovely ballads to songs with a definite Celtic influence to music that is pure metal. The keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen is the composer, lyricist and poet behind most of the music for the band. you will find that every song is different, and there isn't a bad song in the bunch. Gabriel's list is a good one to follow to give you the best videos for each song. Go where your heart leads you in terms of order. If you like Jinjer and you like a bit harder of an edge, you might want to give a listen to Romanticide, also from the same 2013 concert.

    I am pleased to welcome you to the wonderful world of Nightwish from the UK Oldies Division (East Anglian branch) of Nightwish Army. As you delve deeper into their music (as I hope you will) you will find many diverse songs. Symphonic metal is the official genre, but you will find songs ranging from metal to ballads and even a jazz track. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you'll keep on watching and listening to Nightwish, especially their live recordings. I saw them live at Wembley in November 2022 and it was the most amazing unforgettable experience. To hear more from them, I suggest you follow Gabriel's list or pick and mix from it. I have followed Nightwish for some time now and all the compositions and musicianship never fail to please. Looking forward to your next reaction.

    Hi Drake, greetings from UK
    That was a great reaction, thank you 😊
    No two Nightwish songs are the same, and Floor is one of the most versatile vocalists out there, truly world class! All of the band are masters of their instruments and the song writing and how tight the band are is what makes this band really stand out.
    No egos here, they put everything into the song playing just what is needed and no more. When they are not contributing to the song they fade away to the back to give the limelight to those who are contributing at that moment in time. This is why during the orchestral 'interlude' half way through they all left the stage
    This song is usually recommended to people new to Nightwish and Symphonic Metal to demonstrate what this sub genre of Metal is all about, the fusion between standard Metal instruments, (Guitars, drums and keyboards) and symphonic instruments (orchestra and choirs). It gives a much richer sound and the music is composed end to end, not just your usual songs
    To hear something more like standard Metal, I would recommend the song 'Romanticide' from this same concert. I think that you will like it
    I look forward to your next reaction 😉

    Funny you said Nightwish reminded you of Iron Maiden. Steve Harris has called Tuomas Holopainen, the Nightwish keyboardist songwriter a genius. Steve Harris especially likes the Nightwish albums "Imaginaerum" and "Dark Passion Play".
    For me one of the best things about Nightwish is that they have many different kinds of songs, (check Gabriel's list, at least in the past he used to give a short description of the style of each song he recommends), even though one guy writes almost all of their songs, both music and lyrics.
    One song does not tell much about Nightwish. Not even Ghost Love Score, that you just saw and heard. It is usually the song and performance suggested to reactors first. It is a fan favorite, and Floor's favorite as well. It has to be on the setlist, always. Even when Floor has not been in perfect health.
    Not everyone like GLS. Then fans suggest a heavier song instead, and usually it gets a better reception.

    Hey Hoodeez. I think you might be struggling to put a label on Nightwish. OK, I guess they're the masters of the sub genre of 'symphonic metal' if you have to, but in actual fact they're far more than that. Every song (genuinely every song) is a beautifully crafted work of art. Every track is a journey, a discovery, that'll conjure emotions you didn't realize you had in you. I'm a crustly ole soul, been around the block a bit, but I'm not ashamed to say that NW regularly have me wiping grit out my eyes..enjoy the ride!

    Nightwish develops a story as they take you on a journey. Many of their songs are epic. This is one of the very special musical and vocal composition. Floor may be the most versatile vocalist in metal. Nightwish is considered symphonic power metal. They get much heavier and also much softer.

    Floor sings every genre of music. All Nightwish songs are different and excellent. No fillers. This was a medium heavy song. They go lighter and they go much heavier. Floor's range covers growls to opera and everything in between. "Storytime" from the same concert is a good selection for the next song. 😊🤘 ua-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

    Floor can do everything from Donizetti to Disney to Death metal, and she does it all really, really well.
    If you want to hear her in a lower register, "Song of Myself" (live at Wacken 2013) is a good one, and a great introduction to what she and NW are capable of.

    When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’.
    Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera).
    'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’.
    Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’
    Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see.
    Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish.
    Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turned 7 years this march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.

You might want to watch this video; ua-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/v-deo.html This is Floor Jansen, the Dutch lead singer from the Finnish symphonic metalband Nightwish, giving us her insights and other information about how it was to perform "Ghost Love Score" at the Wacken open air festival in 2013 in front of 82,000 people. Greetings form the 32th Dutch Division of the Nightwish Army. We are happy to include you in our midst if you'll continue this rabbithole called; Nightwish!
    I don't know how patient you are, (as I don't want you to be too overwhelmed) but just that you know, Nightwish this week, released their first single called; "Perfume Of The Timeless" for their tenth album "Yesterwynde" which will be released at the 20th of September 2024.

    NW fan from Wisconsin. This song is the common entry for many into the world of Symphonic metal.
    This is also one of their lighter, slower songs. But NW plays many different styles and each song is different from the next. This is not a AC/DC everything sounds the same band (and I like AC/DC)
    Floor is in my opinion is one of the best rock and metal singers in the world, and a tremendous stage presence.
    The boys behind her are just as equally talented and blessed to perform the music of that is 95% written by Tuomas the keyboardist (we call him Metal Mozart).
    This band has had 3 singers; Tarja, Annette and currently Floor. Personally Floor is the best fit and takes the band higher than the other two, but the other ladies were talented, just not much type.
    Prepare for a glorious rabbit hole of exploring the amazing Nightwish.
    Use the suggest links left by Gabriel to explore their catalog.

  • @loulagro2315

    You will quickly discover that every Nightwish song is COMPLETELY different from the last, but you always know your listening to Nightwish........ I hope that makes sense. They, well, actually Tuomas the keyboardist composer is endlessly creative in his compositions and songwriting skills, and you never know where a song is going once it begins, but you'll learn to trust that it will be an awesome journey every time! I do not believe there is a better song writer alive today, at least not in this genre. He is so far above most others its not even a comparison. His use of classical devices including multiple key changes, complex time signatures, and motifs, really set the music to a different level, but it NEVER sounds like a music theory exercise, or like I can do this, and this, and this....... The songs are so well crafted and the way he sews such completely different things together in one piece is mind boggling. Oh and then there is Floor, our Valkyrie Goddess........ very likely the best female vocalist on the planet considering her seemingly limitless versatility, while not giving up a single thing in any particular genre.

    Hey Drake, so you reacted to another of my top 3 bands: Nightwish, Epica and The Warning. All 3 bands have a great lyrics, fantastic music, amazing scene presence. I love Dany/Pau voices, but Floor has been at it for years and is probably the most versatile female vocalist at the moment - she can sing anything in any genre (incl. growls) just as long as she feels the lyrics and composition. Like I welcomed you and Bones to The Warning Army, I can now welcome you the Nightwish Army.

    @15:29 For a moment I thought you were going to say Evanescence, but I think they would appreciate being compared to Iron Maiden. Often the band say they are very influenced by Metallica and Pink Floyd. But of course they are influenced by all sorts of music. The writer (Tuomas, on keys) however states that for many years now, he hardly listens to music, because it sticks in his brain and gets in the way of his own creativity.

    "Floor" means "Flower" in Dutch. The band is from Finland, but Floor Jansen is from the Netherlands.
    Nightwish don't HAVE a "typical sound". Every song is different. And they're all epic.
    Floor can do any style of vocal from metal screams and growls to Grand Opera (I've heard her singing a Puccini aria).
    I don't blame you for not paying to get rid of the ads - I refuse to do so as well, though extremely irritating (and occasionally immoral) as they are.

    If Iron Maiden refers to the Seventh Son album then it is true. But what they have in common is limited to the high proportion of classical music that is typical for European bands.
    One step is missing in development: Powernetal. Helloween was the blueprint:
    HELLOWEEN - Halloween (Official Live Video)
    This gave rise to symphonic metal.

    This is not representative of their “sound,” because they are so versatile…no two songs really sound alike. They go from way softer than this to way heavier than this, and everything in between. Floor can sing anything, so they don’t have too many limits…there’s even a video on UA-cam of her singing a page from the phone book and it sounds amazing. Gabriel’s list is a good guide to follow…I don’t think it has to be followed in order or anything, but he will give you the links to the best quality videos of their best songs, so it’s helpful…he won’t steer you wrong.

    Greetings and Love from Köln/Cologne, Germany. Great reaction, buddy. You don't have to apologize for not having UA-cam Premium. I'm not paying for fuggin UA-cam either. I was born in 1971, i'm a Metalhead and a MaidenManiac since 1985. In a time without Internet, Wikipedia etc. Therefor UA-cam, with all those videos is still a fascinating thing for me. And if i have to watch an add every now and then, i'm the last one to complain bout it. I like to look arround in UA-camr's room, if they recording their videos there like you do. First thing i noticed was of course 'Godzilla'. I love Godzilla, and King Kong, but don't like to watch the movies. Cause mostly they get killed by fakkn humans. I'm like Ace Ventura, you know. And after few minutes into your video i saw something moving behind you. That was when i notice your lovely cat. Last year i had to let my little dog Sammy cross the Rainbowbridge. After 17 wonderful years, damn. Whatever, something else i noticed...your Coffee cup on the shelf...it's merchandise from "The Crow", right. (...the original with Brandon only. I saw bit's of the Sequels/Remake and i hate them) Awe, i'm a huge Bruce & Brandon Lee fan since 1978. Sad lifetime story. Well, i've subcribed and hope you do some more of Nightwish. And maybe some videos of my personal guitar hero, the underatet Gary Moore, wich i was lucky to saw him once live on stage here in Germany in 1989. I wish you and your love ones a peaceful weekend & stay safe 🤘 🌈
