#VocalCoach #Nightwish #acoustic
Happy Monday everyone! I am enjoying getting to know all the different parts of Nightwish and their performance techniques ❤ What’s your favourite Nightwish song?
Haha all of them ;D But you really should do the "big ones" like "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley (tears guaranteed), "Greatest Show on Earth" live from Tampere (THE MASTERPIECE) and maybe the most emotional NW song - "Dead Boy's Poem" live from Bueno Aires. Can't wait to see your reactions. AND... please, please take a look at Epica. 2nd unbelievable Symphonic Metal band with a fantastic female singer - Simone Simons. To get an idea you can start with a duett (feat. floor Jansen) - "Sancta Terra" live Retrospect. Or you start with "Beyond the Matrix" live from Paris. The next deeeep rabbit hole. Don't miss them.
Oh ya , all of those ones for sure 😂 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
The Greatest Show on Earth is up there.
Shudder before the beautiful.
Favourite NW performance (more than just the song) has definitely become "7 Days To The Wolves", Wembley Arena 2015. Unmatched energy, vocal Floor/Marko masterclass and all around stellar delivery. You'll see why I found it so brave of them to bring it back on the setlist last night in Amsterdam. Cheers!
EDIT: May have to amend this already, bcz of the unbelievable Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort they filmed at last night's Ziggo Dome gig. Can't wait for the BD!
The second verse Tuomas wrote for Floor, her husband Hannes van Dahl and their daughter Freja. This is Tuomas way to say: Thank you Floor for saving the band back in 2012 and make us great again.
he wrote the part "We met where the cliff greets the sea" about her relationship with Hannes van Dahl (although is also a clear reference to Élan), and "Now there’s one who came from me / A child of light, another tale", which is about her giving birth to their daughter Freja. How cool is that?
I mean, he really did what the song is about: human empathy. And what a better way to show it by dedicating a little part of the song for his friend and band mate? She said she went to tears when he mentioned it to her. And I can see why, it is a beautiful song.
Nightwish... Nuff Said!!!
🤘😎🤘.
Very well said!Is it possible to show someone respect and admiration in a more beautiful way?... I don't think so.
I concur
I concur.
I concur.
Hi, i concur 💯 as well 🤘🇳🇱🤘
This is one of my absolute favorites. The message is beautiful: kindness, caring and love. Tuomas wrote the second verse "We met where the cliff greets the sea..." to honor Floor. The studio verson has a steady celtic rock beat, but this is more emotional due the more intimate acoustic setting. ⛄👍
They played this version of "How's The Heart" at the epic Nightwish Ziggo Dome concert in Amsterdam last night and it was just so good & heartwarming especially after Floor's cancer surgery. She really brought the fire and then some. Musical magic & magnificence, full of surprises. Jukka doing a little dance at the start of "I Want My Tears Back"? How they sneaked in one of my all time favourites, "7 Days". When they played the first bars of that one, we went absolutely 🍌🍌What a brave & bold move to bring it back on the setlist w/ Marko. Screamed the Marko parts so loud that my voice is completely gone now (screaming "Henkie! Henkie! on top of my lungs also contributed hehe).
At the start of the show, Floor announced that they'd film it all. We already had our hopes up high, but as soon as she said that, we knew that she'd brought Henk Poort for the ride (as was promised in 2019 at the "Beste Zangers" TV show). And what a ride it was. The whole concert was absolutely fantastic and their Phantom with Henk was the grand cherry on the cake. Unforgettable show, still can't believe we were there! That "DVD" is gonna kick @ss! Cheers from Amsterdam!🤘
Excellent to hear it was a good show after the long wait Brendon. 👍
They did the acoustic at Wembley too.
I was at Ziggo Dome last night 28th november with a friend. Great Show !!! Between GLS van GSOE they did POTO. All Great and Amazing.
Love your comment. it was a great show indeed, was there too. The version they played in the end with the whole band was also super. But anyways all their performances are great. And Floor standing there, singing so beautifully and so quickly after her surgery is amazing. But of course she is amazing in many ways.❤❤❤
Troy is panned left in the mix. This is one of my favourite performances and this is how they are currently performing this song live, with just Troy and Floor until the final verse when the band come in.
Yep, I agree, my phones have L and R on them so you get the right (left?) mix! Ha ha, seriously though, Troy is panned left.
Floor reminds me alot of Ann Wilson ( Heart) here , just that richness in her tone , brilliant performance and troy is such an amazing musician.
And it so nice seeing you again Nina reacting to Floor/Nightwish , your ear 👂 for music is crazy , how you can listen to something and instantaneously play it on the piano 🎹.
Dude McBloke is Troy who you heard on The Islander playing the low whistle. He can pretty much play anything, but is best known for Uillean Pipes which you will hear if you react to I Want My Tears Back or My Walden (amongst others).
Floor´s voice is different to any other voice I´ve ever heard. It just hits me so deeply in my soul. Pure beauty!! Amazing song, beautiful lyrics and Troy nails it here acoustically. Thanks for your reaction :D
I concur.
I concur 💯, Laudato! 🤘🇳🇱🤘
Omg they are playing this song exactly like this on the current tour. I saw them at a small venue in NYC in May and I was only few feet away from this musical sorcery … mesmerising 🤣
Also, I heard that Henk Poort joined them last night in Amsterdam for Phantom of the Opera. Eeeeeeeee!
Your wonderful reactions continue to breathe new life in to these songs. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for watching! That’s so cool that they’re playing this current version on tour!
@@ninaschofield They do, saw them yesterday in Amsterdam. Perfection.
This version was played at Wembley last Monday.. (a week ago). It was incredibly emotional.
yup, many people cried, then Floor cried because the crowd reaction
Sometimes they do the rock version (album version) and sometimes this gentle version live.
Both are an absolute treat 😊
Floor is just so incredible! She had a surgery to remove the cancer about month ago and has started the European tour with Nightwish over week ago. She has been absolutely phenomenal vocally despite her not being 100% recovered. The emotion in her singing can be heard in all those shows and I've shed so many tears while watching the videos taken from those gigs. One of the most emotional songs in those shows is How's the Heart (acoustic) where Floor asks everyone to turn on the lights in their phones to show love to people they think about. Yesterday Floor performed Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort and she hold the last note (D6) for 12 seconds. It's incredible how well she does considering her situation.
For the next Nightwish song I recommend Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley or the Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere.
I was at the show in Amsterdam this evening, which ended just 2 hours ago. In no way you could notice that she has had surgery only 4 weeks ago. She was full of energy, enthousiastic, singing fabulously and dancing all over the place on 'I want my tears back'. Incredible. Oh, and of course Troy and Floor did 'How's the heart' accoustic!
Compared to last week Nightwish have now added 2 songs to setlist (now 16 instead of 14). Probably because she is doing well.
Well that end analysis is spot on and perfect continuation for that would be your reaction to
The Poet And The Pendulum (OFFICIAL LIVE)
Everyone wants to hear your analysis of this absolute masterpiece.
Have you listened to the album version as a comparison?
You have just met Troy, the English member of Nightwish.
I was watching closely for the 'eye-pop' when they upped the power at the end 😜
I haven’t yet but I definitely will! Haha I couldn’t help but be taken by surprise at that moment 😮
I was at Wembley a week ago when they played this, Ghost Love Score and Shoemaker live, three vocal performances from Floor that just left my mate and I shaking our heads and laughing in utter disbelief she was just phenomenal. It's right what you say about the power of her vocals, there is not a video I've seen or audio recording I've heard that can adequately portray just how powerful her voice is.
Should also do the acoustic version of Nemo as well 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Troy is now deaf in his left ear 🤣🤣
the Magic comes from Tuomas's songwriting, with the chances and stops and go's up's and down's...he is one of the best composers at the moment
IMO ❤greets from the Netherlands
Power singing on a chair,
I saw them yesterday performed also this unplugged version on their show in Amsterdam, Netherlands,
Also from a chair on stage, amazing.
It was very emotional, goosebumps everywhere ❤️
Many favorite songs.
Two of them:
Heavy metal: Yours is an empty hope, in Wembley.
Tribal from their latest album Human and Nature, is the best to listen.
Easy Folk: Harvest, Ziggodome Amsterdam ❤️:
My favourite is Ghost River - live at wacken. It has hidden gutteral growls from floor in the end of each refrain. Noone ever catches it.
A total kick-ass song and features my favorite Emppu moment, when he hops during the breakdown. This song could be used to jump--start somebody's heart if they need it. A serious rocker!
@@chadbennett7873 That song has my favorite NW breakdown in the middle, with the soaring choir, the dramatic chords, Marco going ham on the bass, and as you said, Emmpu's frog hopping.
Legend says Troy's left ear is still deaf from the last part 😅
😂😂
I enjoy the diversity - this was a great change up in the current tour, then go back into the heavy and appreciate that even more!
I will recommend Dead Boy's Poem again as its a great one for the range of Floor's dynamics, along with the band.
Hmmm... got Troy singing in my left ear 🤔 then again doesn't matter as I got Floor singing in both 😁 (also it is said Troy's ears are still ringing after the song ended).
Ahh I probably did have my headphones in the wrong way round 😆
Hi again, Nina. I loved your reaction to this lovely little acoustic performance. They are actually performing this version of the song on their current 2022 world tour and it is a wonderful addition to the show. Floor has gotten stronger every night since doing her first show after her cancer surgery in Antwerp on November 20th. Although there are only a few fan videos (nothing official) from that show, it was an incredibly emotional night, with Floor actually bursting into tears near the end of Sleeping Sun. It was lovely to see how her bandmates and the crowd supported her there. Thank you again for continuing to do some Nightwish live reactions.
Do you see when Troy was a bit surprised when Floor starts her powerful part? Think it was very loud, which you normally don't recognize when on stage. But a trained and talented singer like Floor can be very loud I would say.
The whole of the Human. :II: Nature album was written to challenge Floors vocal ability a little allegedly. But as usual she raises up and smashed it out the park🤣
The gentleman is Troy Donockley, a multi-instrumentalist hired at the same time as Floor
in 2013, although he performed with Nightwish before that.
He's from Cumbria, GB.
Though I think he lives in Yorkshire now. But originally from Cumbria, yes. And oh, it's "Donockley" with an e.
OMG, beautiful. I love Floor, she is indescribable and also beautifully played by Troy.
Tuomas has written this song especially for Floor and always wants to challenge her, when he writes for her he hears her voice in his head he says. Floor says it is a very difficult piece to sing. Floor is an amazing technical and musical vocalist an a real story teller.
Love your reactions to Nightwish. When are you gonna do "Poet and the pendulum" and "Greatest show on earth"?
Do the Poet please!
Enjoy your reactions very much, crisp and clean, but also with feeling. If you are freewheeling about Floor's performances, you must check out Beste Zangers series 2019 where she shows all of her talent to fellow performers in a very intimate setting. You will see her do operettic stuf like "the merry widow" up to country with "shallow" from lady gaga and even south american reaggeton in spanish. But all done Floor style! A real must as far as i am concerned.
Three words.... beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Thank you Nina for a wonderful breakdown ❤️
Great review! But PLEASE can you try and say Floor's surname correctly? It's pronounced Yahn-sen almost like Johnson but with a "Y" _ and I'm not even Dutch! Thanks.
We can all agree that Floor is absolutely superb. Troy was an excellent addition, as he is a master musician with the pipes, guitar, flutes, and a great voice. Beautiful song.
Really like this version. Floor her usual super self and Troy Donockley, our English multi instrumentalist playing his Fylde guitar and supporting her. Signs of things to come in recent Nightwish performances without Marko.
Hi Nina, as the picture shows you, Troy (male singer) sits on the left (from your perspective) - hence you should have him on your left ear ;-)
Nonetheless a BIG Thank You for reacting to this wonderful piece of music, and your comments and insights on it.
Since you asked, Troy was in my left ear so you might have had your earbuds in opposite ears this time. I love Nightwish precisely because of their variety between hard and soft, often appearing even within a single song. Such a wonderful analysis (and reaction). Thanks so much Nina
Ooh - the first bar of guitar took me straight back to Angie, by The Rolling Stones.
Great singer - and great reviewer.😊
No wonder that Troy calls Floor's voice for Stratospheric (Troy on acoustic guitar here)
Song of myself ❤
Shumacher
Troy Donockley is the name of this wonderful, multi-talented musician. I believe you guys hail from the same little isle! Troy does Lead Vocals on the song "Harvest" if you're interested in hearing how he sounds.
Give a listen to Shoemaker by Nightwish; live at Hellfest 2022 , please.
Genuine question - why are you recommending the Hellfest performance instead of the Deichbrand one? Do you think it's better?
First one that came to mind.
Please try _Yours Is An Empty Hope_
ua-cam.com/video/jlBOUbdBm5c/v-deo.html
It's something a bit different to the ones you've heard so far.
I was actually going to reccomend this one. Glad you found it before I could.
He's sitting to your left! You got headphones wrong way around.
Thank you Nina! You are amazing. 😊 glad to hear you also like (love) Nightwish.
Saw them doing this version last Monday at Wembley, just lovely. The album version is good too - they use the electric instruments to emphasise the heartbeat running through it - but I do prefer acoustic for this song. I wouldn't want all their songs to be like it, but one slipped in as a reflective moment (in this case between Nemo and Shoemaker IIRC) is wonderful!
Rumor has it that Troy's left ear is still buzzing after Floor's belting...
Hello, nice reaction, greetings from the Nightwish Army from Poland 🥰😘
My favorite Nightwish song: Yes.
They have something for every mood I'm in or need.
Edit; of course I wasn’t first, I see that now 😆
What? Am I the first to see this one? Kind of funny 😊. Great reaction, I really enjoy your reactions Nina. But I think that you should back a few seconds after each stop,or else sometimes the fluency of the song is broken.
This is one of my favorite Nightwish performances. Although I have many, many more 😁. Can’t wait to see them live for the first time next year.
Floor as her solo songs too from couple her own and bunch of songs from other artists. She even done two other bands revamp and after forever
Something a bit different Nightwish style with Annette Olzon. - Nightwish - Slow Love Slow live Montreux Jazz Festival 2012 HQ. There isn't just one favorite NW song for me, but lots of them. Shudder before the beautiful would be a good choise.
Probably Annette's finest performance.
I was just waiting for your reaction at the moment when Floor throws that beautiful high note 💕 priceless
Floor is Dutch jansen is pronounced yansen they say j like y
They are doing this version on their current European tour, including last night in Amsterdam. This is Troy Donockley, the Englishman and multi-instrumentalist in Nightwish. Love your reactions and analysis. Keep exploring Nightwish and Floor Jansen.
Great reaction. I love this version, and when they played it in Birmingham last week I was blown away.
The Goddess sings
And in the same sitting they did Nemo Acoustic. Thank you for another great break down. Mmmm? It depends on my mood Folksy music is relaxing and fun while Metal gets my heart pumping fills me with vigor.
Hi and thank you for yet another intresting and entertaining video!
I actually got to see this live two days ago in Amsterdam. I can tell you that it was a very emotional experience. It was the exact same setup like in this video but at the end, when Floor goes into her overdrive the rest of the band joins in too.
And the guitarists name is Troy. He and Floor had a nice little moment before the song as she climbed up to the platform he was on.
During this concert another amazing thing happened. With out saying anything beforehand they played Phantom of the opera and ofc they had Henk Poort join in for the performance of that song!
I totally lost it two seconds after hearing the first drone note. And when Henk walked on stage i was sure that the roof would rip right of the building.
If you want to do a reaction to it there are several clips here on YT. Just search for “nightwish phantom of the opera ziggo dome”.
I remember that you mentioned that it is one of your favorite musicals so I thought I would at least tell you so you can watch it.
But you might want to wait aswell because Floor said that they where recording the show. But I’m not sure if it was filmed or if it was audio only. I was sitting so far from the stage and with everything going on I didn’t really look that much for any cameras.
Anyway, have a nice day and thank you again for the work that you put into these reactions.
I saw them do the acoustic version live at Wembley last week and it was amazing. A little different since the rest of the band came in at the end but I think the song is actually better acoustic than the studio version although that is also good.
Floor 🐐
Some say Troy's left ear is still ringing After this.
Really clean guitar playing, not easy.
This song is off their latest album, human::nature, the first half (human) is very varied, metal and folky and emotional, the second half (nature) is all instrumental orchestral pieces, and its absolutely fantasic. Definitely recommend listning to the second half of that album in one go when you can really sit down and listen to it.
Saw them live this week and this is exactly how they did this and it was fantastic, even though Troy said he had an awful cold.
Such a difficult melody to sing vocally..... there are not many vocalists on the planet that could tune that so accurately and consistently, let alone have the incredible rapid diction, and changes in placement necessary to pull that off...... So impressive
Love everything about this. One of my favourite NW tracks, stripped back to accoustic. Love this version as well.❤️
Thank you Tuomas, Floor, Troy (the male vocalist and guitarist in this vid), the rest of NW and thank you for reacting and analyzing this masterpiece. If you haven't listened to the studio version yet, I would love to recommend you the official lyric video. You can enjoy it too.
This song is an ode to human empathy.
Burn the rope and dance some more/ Dull the blade and dance some more- hang the idea of suicide and continue to live with utmost courage.
Anyone going through hard times, just hang in there. It will get better. Even if it feels like a lie, life does get better. You are loved, appreciated and needed in this world. We are one, we are a universe.❤️
You must must must check out "Rangapura Vihara" by AGAM and "Mist of Capricon" by AGAM.
In case of emergency, Floor Jansen's voice can be used as alarm clock, car alarm, air raid siren, train horn and fog horn. Legend says Troy is still deaf in that one ear.
If you haven't heard the original lyric video one yet you should the music is great😍😁
As I understand it they had not rehearsed the two songs before arriving at the planet rock studio.They did one run through before recording this which makes it all the more impressive and special.
Great reaction and analysis
Please, consider reacting to TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURE (Official video) from his 2014 solo project 'Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge' a graphic novel by Don Rosa, the illustrator/storyteller. The album is essentially a soundtrack for the graphic novel.
It was recorded in London with an orchestra. Don Rosa is on the video, drawing. Beautiful, delicate vocals by Johanna Kurkela, Tuomas' wife. Different from the songs Tuomas writes for Nightwish but as good. To me one of his best songs.
Interesting and funny backround info: 'Holopainen and Rosa interviewed by Radio Nova',
parts 1&2, only 5 minutes altogether.
Hi Nina, please react to Angelina Jordan ''' Suspicious Mind '' Thank You. XXX
مرحبا لا يستحق أن تعبدي مخلوق ضعيف يموت لم يخلقكي فقط خالقك يستحق أن تعبد به وحده لا شريك له من فضلكي تعرفي على الاسلام الحياة قصيرة تنتهي في أي وقت ونعود لربنا ليحاسبنا إني ناصح لكي أمين وشكرا
Great acoustic version of this beautiful song.
Floor is out of question and Nightwish a stunning band but I'm also becoming more and more a fan of Troy, what a fantastic musician.
We had the opportunity to enjoy Nightwish in Düsseldorf on 01. December. It was awesome.
Nina : Thank you for this professional and also charming reaction ... love it . Wish you happy holidays 🎅
You are so right about the musicality of Nightwish. Always with beautiful melodies.
I compare this to Pentangle, an early 70's British Folk group featuring guitarists John Renbourn, Bert Jansch and vocalist Jacqui McShee. "Hunting Song" is a great example.
Arguably the whole latest album is just progressive rock. Hehe. I don't care anymore, I lump all (harder) rock & metal into one genre nowadies: Rock & Metal. Sorted.
Furthurmore Thomas Holodeck, I mean Tuomas Holopainen is very much inspired by Denny Elfman --> ua-cam.com/video/0IFC9H1L2bw/v-deo.html & Hans Zimmer --> ua-cam.com/video/iGx5a1ifSDs/v-deo.html
... So I think that he is a Batman fan. Which fits with the whole gothic thing. You hear both of these composers back in Nightwish.
What also made me lump both rock & metal in one genre... As to what is metal?
I grew up playing guitar with this type of music --> ua-cam.com/video/cKLaR1WbiWI/v-deo.html
Exactly the same drums, bass & guitar as "Metal", but we call it "punk ROCK".
I don't even care anymore. Metallica seemed to agree last time I saw them: "we're a hard rock / heavy metal band". Exactly. Metal is just rock with an attitude, and/or theatrics.
Finally I wanted to comment two related things. First of all to what is metal? We are well aware of Camille Saint-Saëns's Dance Macabre here in the Netherlands --> ua-cam.com/video/lpms9Ob56U8/v-deo.html That was late 1900's. As to why it's so popular especially in the south of the Netherlands? Spookslot in themepark Efteling was closed a year ago -> ua-cam.com/video/JyQIcsUQX08/v-deo.html at 5:50 you hear Danse Macabre. After Forever, Floor's former band, as well as Epica & The Gathering are from around near there. Coincidence?!? Heck, you can hear Anneke van Giersbergen, former singer of The Gathering singing in another attraction in the Efteling nowadays... Hence some people call it Eftelingmetal.
I realise with all the sidetracking from main Nightwish you're doing (solo Floor, duett Floor, acoustic Nightwish) that you probably feel you're able to predict what the next Nightwish song is going to sound like, and that you feel you should explore more varied music instead of continuing down Gabriel Bardacs list, for example.
You're mistaken.
Floor does a wonderful cover of "Alone" by Heart.
Okay... who the hell is doing the Subtitle? I mean, in the original video every word is printed and here everything is wrong! Who hasn't washed their ears there? That's just unprofessional. And my goodness, is it too much to ask to prepare the names of two protagonists? Seriously? Must be posting too much bulk stuff on that assembly line?
If you want something from Nightwish less metal and more folk there are Auri, a band formed by Troy, the one who played the guitar in this video, Tuomas, the writer of Nightwish's music and lyrics and his wife Johanna. ua-cam.com/video/XYrwK214_Lc/v-deo.html Someone says that Nightwish are like the rabbit hole, actually....
Thus is from their most recent album Hvman:Natvre, which is really a showcase of Floor's vocal agility.
Lovely reaction.
Thank you!
Damn I would be psyched to see your reaction to Nightwish Shoemaker. That is some real live voice magic! 🙌
Hi, you really should listen to Anneke Van Giersbergen, one of the most(if not the most) influential ladies in metal, besides her solo career and own bands she colaborated with more than 50 other artists/bands , back in the days when in 95 she joined The Gathering and recorded the Mandylion album it was a special thing and became an intemporal classic(Floor became a metal singer because of Anneke) , even thou she lefted The Gathering many years ago she joined for the 25th anniversary show and it was magic, it felt like she never lefted, from that show here is her favorite song "travel" enjoy this pure magic ua-cam.com/video/Y46Lft_BZxo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=xenxoTG
Thanks for the advice on the headphones panning! I always just have one earbud in and always figured something was wrong with Troy's mic both headphones makes a huge difference
I absolutely adore your reactions. So much personality, so much knowledge and talent, and so much to love. There is always delight in your discovery of the genius of Nightwish and the compositions of Tuomas. Troy was such a brilliant addition to the band, and he has become one of Tuomas's closest friends. When you have a chance, take a listen to Auri - the "side" project of Tuomas, Troy and Johanna Kurkela (Tuomas's wife and incredible singer). All three compose, and it's on a mellow, sensual level. Amazing music to relax and think. They've released two albums, and all three are fully in on the project. In their interviews, they all say it is something each of them has been seeking, and they plan to keep working with no end in sight.
This song is one of the few acoustic versions of a song that I actually like almost just as much as the album version. I do prefer the fullness and uplifting instrumentals of the album version, but I do love the intimate and emotional feel this version has. I like to listen to them each when I'm in different moods. I wish they had done the album version at their concert, however, I was a bit disappointed I didn't get to hear them play the album version live. I felt like it was a missed opportunity.
Please learn how to pronounce their names...not everything is pronounced according to the anglo-saxon rules
Hi Nina! loved the reaction, thou I'm pretty sure you could do it as great as Floor ;)
This is a beautiful rendition and came out so well that they do it live in smaller venues on the current tour. I got to see her do this live in May and she was every bit as flawless!
They also play this version in their arena gigs. Only in festivals they play the original version.
As for Troy, give him a new instrument and a weekend, he's a master.
This "Gentleman" is Troy Donockley, full member of NW since 2010 and after Markos leaving in 2020 getting mor voice parts in the band.
Troy became a full member of Nightwish at the same time as Floor, in the summer of 2013. They were asked approximately 2 months prior to the Wacken 2013 concert.
In this video Tuomas gives some information about when Floor and Troy were asked - ua-cam.com/video/TnKe1-8hVus/v-deo.html
Troy is a genius. He can play anything. Born in the same town as me
They can also do some quieter tracks 🙂
It really saddens me to know that a few billion people don't even know who this extraordinary singer even is 😔 she is a gift from the heavens, from God himself. And I don't even believe in God but he sure as hell must exist if we have been graced with Floor Jansen
Floor does not need a god to exist.
