@@GOTGames New subscriber here. Dude, that is literally the whole reason we watch reaction videos: To watch people sit with the same expression, jaw open, for ten minutes, unable to even blink for fear of missing something....etc. LOL! It helps us to recapture the experience of our own first times seeing Nightwish. We've all been there. We've all had our Floorgasms!
Hello G.O.T Games ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! The 1st song you reacted is from Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, 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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen 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 (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 "

Nightwish is a pirate (Drums), a dark wizard (keys), a viking (bass / vocals), an elf (guitar) and a valkyrie (vocals) Wait until he figures out Floor can growl too One more thing, there is an entire genre of bands like this. The big 4 of symphonic metal is Nightwish, Epica, Witin Temptation and Kamelot. Check them out
Now that you have wet your feet, be aware that you have only seen a small part of Floor Jansen's repertoire. In this song we saw mostly musical theatre Floor with a bit of opera Floor and some contemporary Floor. There's also pop Floor, ballad Floor, heavy metal Floor, classical Floor, liturgical Floor, hard rock Floor, country-ish Floor, Latin-ish Floor, eight different languages Floor, and we must not forget, death metal Floor. I've probably forgot a few . . .
Follow Gabriels list.....nothing can go wrong if you do so. Be careful about choosing other version's then the links he provide. ESPECIALLY when it comes to the epos - The Greatest Show On Earth - . The temptation for a Brit to choose the Wembley performance, is huge. STAY AWAY from Wembley until you have reacted to the Tampere version. The revard for doing that is mindblowing. And, don't stop until the end credits and the video goes black. Much Love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
It never bores me to see reactions like this - the jaw dropping when Floor starts to sing, being mesmerized during the whole song and totally oblivious of what’s to come at the end… That’s what we call a Floorgasm.
I am a serial ghost love score reaction viewer, and after finding you via Dimash not long ago, I am so happy to see you do this reaction. I almost never comment. You pulled a comment out of me, and that means something. Bravo!
Another soul taken by our Valkyrie Goddess!!! Floor can sing anything. Follow Gabriel's list, you won't be disappointed. Loved your reaction. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
You've just been "Floor'd"! 😂 Definitely not a boring reaction. Can't wait to see more reactions from you for Nightwish! Highly recommend reading Gabriel's comments! ❤️
82,000 people were at that show! Most of them it was their first time seeing Floor, needless to say she won them over. Really enjoyed your your reation and the look of awe on your face. Well done. 🥰🤘🤘🤘🤘
No copyright problems with Nightwish live songs. You can also play their live songs completely without interruption. This band is very close to their fans. Almost part of the family Floor is the best singer in the world. Technically absolutely high level. She can sing anything. From the highest tones to growling. From metal to pop. What she sings live, the so-called world stars just manage in the studio. Her absolute only problem is that she doesn't have the notoriety she deserves and that she has really earned. She is one of the most down to earth and lovable people on this planet. She also delights her fans every week on her own youtube channel (Floor Jansen).
Thank you! I'm never sure with first time reactions so really appreciate you letting me know. I am so so curious to see what else her voice can do!! ❤️ Definitely checking out her UA-cam channel too!
@@GOTGames There is one exception that _might_ cause a copyright issue, and that's "Poet and the Pendulum". Apparently, some rapper uses the same poem as the basis for one of his songs, and because of that similarity, some reactions to Nightwish's "Poet" got blocked in the past... It absolutely is a song you do need to listen to, but not right away anyways since it requires a good bit of background to fully understand.
@@NetAndyCz With Romanticied I hear about it for the first time and with the Poet there are only a few blocks locally limited. And only because of the intro, because the rights are somewhere else. But there are also only rarely blocks.
You have just called down the Army. The Nightwish Army love to live vicariously through reactors watching Nightwish for the first time. Never gets old. Enjoy your Nightwish journey.
Ah .. Ghost Love Score in Wacken. Or, a masterclass in how to keep 82 *thousand* metalheads entranced for a minute without even being on stage. Such is the power of a world class performance by world class performers.
Your reaction is awesome. The expression on your face during the whole song was pure gold. You've earned yourself a new subscriber. I can't wait to see you discover more of this amazing band👍🏻😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁😁😁😊😊✨✨✨😜😜😜🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👊🏻
When he called her a "siren" as soon as she entered the stage and didn't know yet that this is actually what she's embodying in this part :D "A siren from the deep"! We should give her credit for her amazing acting abilities as well!
She really gets into the part, "Seven days to the Wolves", watch her snarl! Switch from narrator, to "Siren", to cavewoman in TGSOE (clearer at Wembley).
Welcome to the terrific world of Nightwish. Each song sounds like no other. And listen to each of their songs to the bitter end (even through the credits). Some times there are spoken words thru the credits. Enjoy ! I am 71 years old and this band did the same thing to me about 4 years ago when I first heard them.
@@don-o-seven1437 51 here, first ran across them almost twenty years ago now, after they released Wish I Had an Angel as part of the soundtrack for Alone in the Dark. And yeah, the song was WAY better than the movie. And Rush was absolutely my favorite band until I heard these guys.
What you just had is a Floorgasm mate. I can never get enough of seeing peoples first reaction to this song. Especially when you know what happens later in the song. Love it. (Arghh that pause just before the crescendo. Killed me hehe)
Hi Got games, wonderful reaction! Nightwish army Netherlands report ing. Nightwish is Finnish, but the singer is our Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen (Yan-Sen). The shivers you get from listening to her are called Floorgasms. My tip: wait for Gabriel.
Nightwish Army Aussie division reporting in. All I can say is follow Gabriel's suggestions and you won't go wrong. Enjoy the rabbit hole, welcome to the army. 😉
Great reaction. Bro that is exactly how I reacted the first time I saw NW. I instantly fell in love with Floor and just got so hyped up watching the band just going nuts and just how tight they play. I remember telling myself when Floor started singing that this shouldn’t work, but it just fit so well that I couldn’t wait to hear another song. I spent the next 2 hours listening to half this concert and they instantly became my favorite band. You my friend are in for one hell of a journey. Enjoy the greatest band on the planet. Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Dude, I had the exact same reaction on my face the first time I saw this. The teary eyes, the goosebumps, the excitement, the emotion......it's all so relatable!! Then their Dutch singer (Floor) appeared on this Dutch TV-programme called "Beste Zangers" (where singers pay tribute to eachother's songs). She KILLED it on every song, with her duet of The Phantom of the Opera with the real Dutch Phantom as an absolute highlight! Look it op "Floor Jansen & Henk Poort", you will NOT be disappointed!!!
Laugh, cry, forget how to breathe... These is why I love watching guys react to Nightwish for the first time. 'Cause in the way, it makes me live my first Nightwish time again. 🖤
Warning: Your face could get stuck in that position for hours and hours if you'd decide to view some other songs by Nightwish! My personal favorites would be the greatest show on earth, storytime and the poet and the pendulum but any Nightwish music is jaw dropping! Congrats on discovering the best band in the world (by far!)
OMG...FINALLY got to see you reacting to my favorite band!! Welcome to the #NightwishArmy! Floor Jansen's voice is enough to make a grown man cry. And hell yeah, we want you to do more! Get ready to watch your channel blow up!
There are over 1400 reactions to Ghost Love Score on UA-cam. I haven't seen all of them, but I have seen a lot, and I think this will always be my favorite. ❤
Trust me we in the Nightwish Army have seen that reaction many times and it never get old. Also Floor had only been touring with Nightwish for 10 month at this concert.
I’m 71 and love Led Zeppelin. Now I am in a conundrum. Nightwish or Led Zeppelin as my favorite. Your reaction is priceless. I smile as I watch your mouth drop and stay open. So genuine. Thanks for the review.
Arizona chapter of the Nightwish Army reporting in. Welcome to the unbelievable rabbit hole that is Nightwish/Floor Jansen! Nightwish is the most innovative band in the world and Floor is the most versatile singer in the world; from growls to opera, she is amazing. Just follow our leader Gabriel's list and you cannot go wrong. For a great sample of her abilities, all of her performances from Beste Zangers 2019 are mind blowing. New subscriber here, keep up the Nightwish/Floor reactions and the entire NWA will follow suit.
Dude,I totally understand how it hit you.. I just so happened upon them on UA-cam several months back..I never really cared for metal music,until I listened to several of NightWish's tracks..I'm 60 + yrs..I absolutely love them
I LOVE watching people's first reaction to Nightwish because I did the exact same thing that you did. First time I heard them was this song and I just sat there with my jaw dropped the entire song, then went nuts after it finished. They are now my #1 band. I recommend Poet and the Pendulum, Romanticide, Shoemaker (has operatic vocals), Greatest Show on Earth...just all their songs actually lol. Enjoy this wonderful rabbit hole!
Nightwish Army, Utah USA division, reporting for duty. I started following you on your Pentatonix journey in hopes you would start down the Nightwish rabbit hole. Welcome to the fold. Your energy and personality are intoxicating, leaving me grinning ear to ear, and I am looking forward to seeing more PTX and now NW from you. Cheers.
welcome (back) to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive). this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream" this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish 🙂 Your face was brilliant, and she does it to us all. Her name is Floor and she's one of a kind. Floor is their 3rd female singer and yes her stage presence is phenomenal, in fact they all have great stage presence and they all get on so well you can see them having a blast! A great one for Floors showmanship is 'i want my tears back' live in Buenos Aires. Be warned, your eyes may bug out when you see her outfit!
Man I’m so happy we’ve gotten to nightwish. The army is on its way. I think we need a nightwish journey and the next stop should be romanticide a little different feel.
Who are Nightwish? Well, only the best band currently playing in the world. Gabriel will guide you on the journey if you choose. Just wait until you hear the bass player sing! Every member a master - and you haven't seen them all in this song. Had to laugh - when Floor started singing you had the standard First-time-Nightwish expression. Mouth open, awestruck expression. Classic. You have heard 15 to 20% ofcwhat Nightwish can do, and about the same percentage if what Floor can do (anything from true opera to growling to pop and everything in between). My top 3 (don't watch Nov1 yet): The Poet and the Pendulum Song of Myself (Wacken, bass player sings - a bit) 7 Days to the Wolves from Wembley (you'll LOVE that) I think the Valkyrie Queen may have claimed another soul. I'm sure I spotted a Floorgasm. The Big Boys? THESE are the big boys. Nobody matches them. Nightwish Army UK Eastern division signing out for now... P.P S. Nightwish at Bloodstock is available on youtube. Oh, BTW they are at Wembley in November.
Great reaction, those of us as Nightwish fans look forward to reactions such as yours. No matter how many times we've watched this video, it's watching someone's first time is special, and your genuine reaction was special.
Well THIS IS THE RABBIT HOLE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED!!😂😂😂 I have seen Nightwish live many times (2021 summer last time) and im also from Finland myself. I love also kpop and other genres but metal and ESPECIALLY sinfonic metal was what I grew up listening to. Aaaand if I would still have to pick one singer from the world… It would be Floor Jansen🤩🤩 And they are from Finland! Floor is though from Neatherlands and also Troy who joined a few years ago. Troy is from UK and plays various traditional instrumets and pipes.🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 If you have never been into sinfonic metal bands before… wellllll trust me you found your new thing😂 Here is some Nightwish songs that you should check out. Also some other epic sinfonic metal bands. -Nightwish - Storytime (official live video) - Nightwish - The gratest show on earth, live Tampere Finland - Nightwish - Romanticide (official live video) - Nightwish - Poet and the pendulum , live Wembley 2016 - Nightwish - Dark Chest of wonders , wacken 2013 -Nightwish - Ever dream, live wacken 2013 - Nightwish - Shudder before the beautiful, Tampere live 2015 -Epica - Consign to Oblivion, live at the Zenith -Epica- the essence of silence (official live video) -Epica- unchain utopia (official live video) - Epica - Sancta Terra feat Floor Jansen Live - Delain - Burning Bridges MV - Delain - Masters of Destiny MV And also… i dont know if you have listened to Archenemy but they are amazing live😂 - Archenemy - Nemesis (Live at Wacken 2016)
All their songs and all their music will surprise you. She can growl as deep as Tati from Jinjer and she is classically trained supran, she do it all and the band do it all :-)
I don't know about Floor going as deep in her growls as Tati but she CAN growl, which is UNHEARD OF when talking about people who are classically trained. :)
@@jamescurfman3284 Heh, she even said it in an interview when the interviewer commented, "I didn't know you could growl like that." - "I didn't know that either!" 😂
@@GOTGames Floor Jansen was in a band called After Forever from the time she was sixteen years old. They eventually broke up (very sad, they were good on stage) and she eventually formed a new band, Revamp. She broke that band up when she joined Nightwish because she would not be able to focus on both bands with any sort of stability (or maybe she thought the quality of the music would be unsustainable; either way, sad, but a smart move). She has AT LEAST two songs she growls in for Revamp and they are Disdain (doesn't matter which version you pick to watch, you can clearly hear her growls because she is the only vocalist doing anything while she is growling) and Wildcard. For Nightwish, there is a song that she growls in called Yours Is An Empty Hope (in some versions, it's really difficult to make out that SHE is growling and not the band's bassist Marko. In other versions, it is 'easier' to hear it). Check them all out, they are all FIRE! Good luck, have fun! :)
Welcome to Nightwish, you have just had what we call a “Floorgasm” her name is Floor Jenson (yawnsen) she is the 3rd vocalist for the group. The keyboardist Tuomas is the leader and main composer for the group. Their songs are best viewed live. marko the bassist is also very very accomplished singer, he just won finlands masked singer. But he has recently left the band for health and family. I’m sure Gabriel will show up here and give you a list of songs and backgrounds so you will get a feel for this group. Floor was classically trained soprano, but she does do dirty deep growling. She can do it all.
K Quincy Her name is Floor Jansen not Jenson. Floor Jansen is Dutch and 'Jansen' is a very common name in The Netherlands. You misspell her name by spelling it like a Scandiavian name.
@@kquincy3068 Dude my point is that you can't even spell her name right... And it wasn't a typo either. I suggest you go and pick pick pick out a way to improve your spelling skills.
@@hansolo2121 haha ya see you in class mr …. I can spell better than anyone -- “Scandiavian” scandinavian is what you meant nimrod . I always wanted to know what a douche looked like. Look no further than the pompous - Hand me my solo wanker
Great reaction! 👍🤘 Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁 Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best and most versatile female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (D3 to F6+). Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today. The other vocalists are - Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals. Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals. Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera. The other band members are/were - Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland) Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland) Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland) Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom) Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on UA-cam where she regularly posts covers of songs. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen. The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is EXTREMELY varied. The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set. Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible. Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb. Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Romanticide, Storytime, Ever Dream, Ghost River, I Wish I had an Angel, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Want My Tears Back and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken). Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance. Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version. Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way. Prepare for the Nightwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘
This is the song that got me watching music reacts. If there was ever a song you wish you could hear for the first time again. I've seen them in concert several times. One of the best. If you want more like this, I recommend Epica, another band with a trained opera singer. Their live performance of Consign to Oblivion is divine.
Well, hello! Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. The singer is a Dutch singer/songwriter and vocal coach Floor Jansen, the best singer of the world (IMHO). The band is from Finland, as I'm too. So, greetings! ⛄👍
@@Piia2023 No niin, kivahan se on kun "vanhat" ystävät kyselevät kuulumisia. Kiirettähän se kirjanpitäjällä näin keväällä pitelee. Mutta mitä mieltä sinä olet Floorin uudesta singlestä? Varsin hyvä power pop biisi se minusta on ja videokin tehty Suomessa. Mutta eipä kuulu radiosoittoa, ei edes Sanoma -konsernin kanavilla. Ei siitä ADA -diilistä tainnut olla mitään hyötyä noita radiosyndikaatteja vastaan.
@@pekkakarppinen1608 itse joskus kirjanpitoa tehnyt niin tiedän, nyt tosin teen ihan muuta. On se ihan hyvä biisi, vähän Nightwish vivahteita, siitä Tuomas vaan sovittelemaan Nighwishiin, eipä ole radiossa soinut. Levyjä tulee nyt ihan kivasti, Nightwish, Crewish ja Floor tässä tulevaisuudessa. Nightwish toivottavasti nousee nyt lavalle kohta :)
I've probably watched this performance a hundred times and I still get emotional when Floor hits that last high note along with the imagery and energy of the band and audience!!!
Floor Jansen, 6 foot plus Valkyrie. I was fortunate enough to see Nightwish live, and Floor just dominates the stage. Her towering presence, her opera trained voice, it was amazing! I'm 80 years old and the reason I went was my granddaughter kept talking about Symphonic Metal...so we went to see what it was about, and now I'm a total fan...
What a terrific first-time reaction to this glorious band and to the Nightwish Army's Valkyrie Queen, the lovely and talented Floor Jansen. Nightwish kills their live performances. Every song at this Wacken 2013 concert is amazing. Some of the harder ones are Romanticide and Weak Fantasy. I also recommend you hear Floor doing the deep growling in every chorus of "Yours is an Empty Hope" live at Wembley 2015. To watch Floor drive an audience into an insane FRENZY, watch "I Want my Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2019. Enjoy your journey down the Nightwish rabbit hole.
Flippin awesome reaction dude, that was amazing, that was my 1st ever song video I watched, The poet and the pendulum live at Wembley is a good one to react to, and the the greatest show on earth Live at Tempur Finland from where the band is from, I was one of the one who requested this and you did it justice dude, I will put your reaction on the Nightwish page and the Nightwish army will come visit 🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘
I love the fact you were so energetic through your introduction and hyped. Even the pirates stuff, you were so damn excited and then Floor sang and you just immediately shut up and drank it all in xD
Great reaction. You’ll find the incomparable quality grows as you listen to more of their stuff. No two of their songs really sound alike…they’ve almost become a genre unto themselves.
Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA, USA welcomes you to the magical greatness of Nightwish. A ban of many styles and sounds, each performance is better than the last! This band is going to change your life, friend! That was legit, one of the most authentic reactions I've seen in awhile! The goosebumps, the tears...all standard fare. Loved the look on your face when Floor started singing! Brilliant! Watch your comments (I know, you're kinda freaking out cuz there's alot of us...and alot of info...its OK, we'll be here to assist you) for one from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances, ready for reactions! I really think you should see the heavier side... next, Romanticide. I hope you continue down the path...if you do...we will come with you! There's nothing like the backing of The Nightwish Army!
Everyone in nightwish is amazing in their own field. We are been blessed as a generation and I feel grateful to been introduced to this band in 1998 when the cassettes were available.
Welcome to the rabbitt hole called NIGHTWISH , there is no turning back. Check Storytime, Ghost river, Song of myself,Romanticide, Elan, and many more. Greetings from finland, three weeks to the next Nightwish show🤘here in Finland, the home of Nightwish.
I am the same as you, metalhead my entire life and I recently found Nightwish about 2 years ago, literally changed my life, I'm so happy you found them!
Ah, Nightwish! I believe I started to listen to them when I was some 11 years old (and now I'm 30 and feeling old). The band was formed in Finland, and still many of the members are from here, some have never changed since they started in 1996. Their vocalist has changed three times, and I must say Floor (she's the singer now) is one hell of a powerful person. I recommend Storytime live, I believe one is from Wacken as well, that's one of my favorites from them!
I think the Nightwish army will put you over the 50K sub mark. I added mine as I think you are a must watch for future Floorgasms! Yes, you had several already. It's when the truck hits the deer and you shake uncontrolably or you get goosebumps all over! :) Gabriel has already posted. Our General has laid out some of the targets for your journey down the Nightwish rabbit hole. Enjoy the journey!
Welcome to Nightwish with our Dutch Charismatic Valkyrie Metal Goddess Floor Jansen! Floor Just released her very first own solo song FIRE, also definitely worth checking out! Your goosebumps are called floorgasms your tears come from Floor singing straight into your soul.
Hello G.O.T. Games and welcome to Nightwish! At this Wacken 2013 concert in August, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen), Dutch, was only 10 months with the band. She is the 3rd singer of the band. She stepped in in the midst of their US leg, and halfway their World Tour after the band fired their 2nd singer. She had 48 hrs to learn the setlist. Not a lot of people in this crowd knew her and didn't know what to expect but in the first few minutes of the show she had them in the palm of her hands. Find Gabriel Bardac in the comments. He is the "General" of our NW Army and he has a very long list of info for you. Greetings from the Netherlands! P.S.: NW videos are almost never blocked!
You just got me excited about ”Ghost Love Score” all over again 😅 Love to see your reaction to the show! Next your should react to ”Storytime”, ”Romanticide” or ”Dark Chest of Wonders” from the same Wacken 2013 show :)
Congratz, you've got your first Floorgasm! They're from Finland and Floor is from the Netherlands iirc. Btw: This was pretty much her introduction as the new singer, after the rather mediocre Anette, which had replaced Tarja Turunen, who whas the original singer before. I've seen them the first time live after their second album released and had a blast and they kept on improving.
If you want to see them live, I have good news for you. They are touring the UK in November. I have tickets for Wembley Arena on the 21st, and Birmingham on the 22nd (and also for NYC on May 8th). We are the Nightwish Army, and Floor is our general.
Nightwish Army, Essex, here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish. There are a lot of symphonic bands out there, but, for me, Nightwish are top of the pile. Finnish band, with a Dutch lead singer, Floor Jansen. Percussionist/instrumentalist, who wasn't on stage, is English. Great reaction. They are at Wembley Arena in November. Can't wait.
Hello G.O.T Games. 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.
Nightwish Army Texas reporting in. The reaction you had right at the beginning when your brain stopped working and then rebooted was priceless. That is the reason why everybody tells everybody to start with this song. Get comfy in your computer chair buddy the Nightwish armies coming for your Page. Welcome to the Nightwish Army you've just been enlisted.
Hello from Connecticut USA. Awesome reaction to Nightwish and the Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen. Yes her voice is angelic. I enjoyed your comments and pure joy watching this epic video. I have subscribed and I am looking forward to your Nightwish journey.
Great to have you become part of the nightwish army. Gabriel will fill you in on all things nightwish, kind of the main nightwish ambassador. A couple of songs I can recomend next are "wish I had an angel" and "the greatest show on earth". Both feature the vocals of the bands then bassist, Marco, who is equally as mind blowing on the mic.
Really liked your reaction buddy! I never knew there were 'reactions' on youtube until I stumbled on NW...now I've watched hundreds. NW suck you in and enrich your life. There's no escape...looking forward to your 'journey' (Hint: there's so much variety and such an emotional rollercoaster with NW you'll never tire of them).
DAM GOOD REACTION, love every second of it. Follow Gabriel list at the bottom of his comments. Can't go wrong has links and songs we all like. Enjoy the ride, the singer is 6' 1" and is a beast on stage.
Dude, it is never boring watching someone be amazed by this performance...
It never gets old. We've all been there, with that same look on our faces
IKR?
Man just made me so jealous of anyone who got to see this in person
@@GOTGames i have and i will…..😍
@@GOTGames New subscriber here. Dude, that is literally the whole reason we watch reaction videos: To watch people sit with the same expression, jaw open, for ten minutes, unable to even blink for fear of missing something....etc. LOL! It helps us to recapture the experience of our own first times seeing Nightwish. We've all been there. We've all had our Floorgasms!
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!
"She floated to that mic just like a siren!" more prophetic words have never been spoken 😉
RIGHT!!!!!♥️
Such a great way to put it! When I watch this video, I keep backing it up to see her entrance over and over. What a performer! So much intelligence.
“A siren from the deep came to me, Sang my name my longing”…..there she is, floating to the mic like a siren
Floorgasm befor she sings ...record :))
85k + people watching, singing, dancing and have the time of there live. This concert was a blast :)
Hello G.O.T Games ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! The 1st song you reacted is from Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, 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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen 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 (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 "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with links with the current lineup of the band you may like. Please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory:

@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: ua-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/v-deo.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

In the spring of 2021, Floor also did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival ua-cam.com/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/v-deo.html
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us from her home studio, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 9 covers there, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlinbJW0aJc2iVy5tYEhC5KL9.html
Following the success of Beste Zangers show, Floor performed a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020 with songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers) following that the last and the largest concert, at AFAS Amsterdam, to be professionally recorded and broadcast online, with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. After several rescheduling, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the concert took place at the beginning of September 2021 in 3 consecutive days.

🤘
Nightwish is a pirate (Drums), a dark wizard (keys), a viking (bass / vocals), an elf (guitar) and a valkyrie (vocals)
Wait until he figures out Floor can growl too
One more thing, there is an entire genre of bands like this. The big 4 of symphonic metal is Nightwish, Epica, Witin Temptation and Kamelot. Check them out
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Long overdue on this one! Finally hearing this INSANE band!! Her voice!
Now that you have wet your feet, be aware that you have only seen a small part of Floor Jansen's repertoire.
In this song we saw mostly musical theatre Floor with a bit of opera Floor and some contemporary Floor. There's also pop Floor, ballad Floor, heavy metal Floor, classical Floor, liturgical Floor, hard rock Floor, country-ish Floor, Latin-ish Floor, eight different languages Floor, and we must not forget, death metal Floor. I've probably forgot a few . . .
Great reaction man… They’re in the uk this November!
Follow Gabriels list.....nothing can go wrong if you do so. Be careful about choosing other version's then the links he provide. ESPECIALLY when it comes to the epos - The Greatest Show On Earth - . The temptation for a Brit to choose the Wembley performance, is huge. STAY AWAY from Wembley until you have reacted to the Tampere version. The revard for doing that is mindblowing. And, don't stop until the end credits and the video goes black.
Much Love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
And this is only the beginning.
@@D-ragon-S Gabriels list didn't pass the filter.
It never bores me to see reactions like this - the jaw dropping when Floor starts to sing, being mesmerized during the whole song and totally oblivious of what’s to come at the end… That’s what we call a Floorgasm.
Ah even after a few more songs now she still blows my mind!!
G.O.T this is Floor if I remember correctly she was the 3rd lead singer they had
I am a serial ghost love score reaction viewer, and after finding you via Dimash not long ago, I am so happy to see you do this reaction. I almost never comment. You pulled a comment out of me, and that means something. Bravo!
😂 it was my life long goal David! I retire from UA-cam!
Another soul taken by our Valkyrie Goddess!!! Floor can sing anything. Follow Gabriel's list, you won't be disappointed.
Loved your reaction. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
You've just been "Floor'd"! 😂 Definitely not a boring reaction. Can't wait to see more reactions from you for Nightwish! Highly recommend reading Gabriel's comments! ❤️
Just finished reading it, the guy is awesome for explaining all of that!
And can't wait to hear another song from them!!
That was a _Floorgasm._
82,000 people were at that show! Most of them it was their first time seeing Floor, needless to say she won them over. Really enjoyed your your reation and the look of awe on your face. Well done. 🥰🤘🤘🤘🤘
After the Motörhead debacle on friday i almost left the the festival, glad i didn't. Best live show i ever saw... and i've seen a f'ing lot!
No copyright problems with Nightwish live songs. You can also play their live songs completely without interruption. This band is very close to their fans. Almost part of the family
Floor is the best singer in the world. Technically absolutely high level. She can sing anything. From the highest tones to growling. From metal to pop. What she sings live, the so-called world stars just manage in the studio. Her absolute only problem is that she doesn't have the notoriety she deserves and that she has really earned. She is one of the most down to earth and lovable people on this planet. She also delights her fans every week on her own youtube channel (Floor Jansen).
Thank you!
I'm never sure with first time reactions so really appreciate you letting me know.
I am so so curious to see what else her voice can do!! ❤️
Definitely checking out her UA-cam channel too!
@@GOTGames There is one exception that _might_ cause a copyright issue, and that's "Poet and the Pendulum". Apparently, some rapper uses the same poem as the basis for one of his songs, and because of that similarity, some reactions to Nightwish's "Poet" got blocked in the past... It absolutely is a song you do need to listen to, but not right away anyways since it requires a good bit of background to fully understand.
@@mcwolf1096 yes, David Heretic's reaction was initially blocked.
The Poet and the Romanticide are known for copyright issues. They often get approved, eventually, but those two often cause reactors issues.
@@NetAndyCz With Romanticied I hear about it for the first time and with the Poet there are only a few blocks locally limited. And only because of the intro, because the rights are somewhere else. But there are also only rarely blocks.
"This is fucking nuts", is a pretty good description of this entire show.And yes, more Nightwish please.
😂😂❤️❤️
Nightwish Army the Netherlands welcomes you to this magical and fantastic band.
Its going to be a crazy and amazing ride.
You have just called down the Army. The Nightwish Army love to live vicariously through reactors watching Nightwish for the first time. Never gets old. Enjoy your Nightwish journey.
Ah .. Ghost Love Score in Wacken. Or, a masterclass in how to keep 82 *thousand* metalheads entranced for a minute without even being on stage. Such is the power of a world class performance by world class performers.
Its so awesome watching people watch nightwish ghost love score for the first time !
In Japan some people can get the title "living national treasure". I suggest Finland do this with Nightwish.
We do. ❤
Your reaction is awesome. The expression on your face during the whole song was pure gold.
You've earned yourself a new subscriber. I can't wait to see you discover more of this amazing band👍🏻😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁😁😁😊😊✨✨✨😜😜😜🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👊🏻
"I never expected this." :)
Expect to not-expect it, repeatedly. ;)
Welcome aboard. Settle in, it's a lonnnggggg ride. :)
Goosebumps? Every time!
❤️🤘
When he called her a "siren" as soon as she entered the stage and didn't know yet that this is actually what she's embodying in this part :D "A siren from the deep"! We should give her credit for her amazing acting abilities as well!
She really gets into the part,
"Seven days to the Wolves", watch her snarl!
Switch from narrator, to "Siren", to cavewoman in TGSOE (clearer at Wembley).
Thought the same, he said "Siren" :)
I don't get it. Are you alluding to the "scions of the Devonian sea" part?
Welcome to the terrific world of Nightwish. Each song sounds like no other. And listen to each of their songs to the bitter end (even through the credits). Some times there are spoken words thru the credits. Enjoy ! I am 71 years old and this band did the same thing to me about 4 years ago when I first heard them.
53 from Atlanta, GA. Discovered them last September and are now in my top 3 with Rush and Pink Floyd.
I can't wait my friend!! This is going to be a fun journey!!
64 and recently discovered them as well, now huge fan! LOL Coming from the 70's rock world.
Keep rockin
@@don-o-seven1437 51 here, first ran across them almost twenty years ago now, after they released Wish I Had an Angel as part of the soundtrack for Alone in the Dark. And yeah, the song was WAY better than the movie. And Rush was absolutely my favorite band until I heard these guys.
What you just had is a Floorgasm mate.
I can never get enough of seeing peoples first reaction to this song.
Especially when you know what happens later in the song. Love it.
(Arghh that pause just before the crescendo. Killed me hehe)
🤘
Romanticide by Nightwish! Dang ! Wanna see his reaction heheh 😏
Hi Got games, wonderful reaction! Nightwish army Netherlands report ing. Nightwish is Finnish, but the singer is our Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen (Yan-Sen). The shivers you get from listening to her are called Floorgasms. My tip: wait for Gabriel.
Closest thing to pink floyd.....just as good
Nightwish Army Aussie division reporting in. All I can say is follow Gabriel's suggestions and you won't go wrong. Enjoy the rabbit hole, welcome to the army. 😉
Great reaction. Bro that is exactly how I reacted the first time I saw NW. I instantly fell in love with Floor and just got so hyped up watching the band just going nuts and just how tight they play. I remember telling myself when Floor started singing that this shouldn’t work, but it just fit so well that I couldn’t wait to hear another song. I spent the next 2 hours listening to half this concert and they instantly became my favorite band. You my friend are in for one hell of a journey. Enjoy the greatest band on the planet.
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Dude, I had the exact same reaction on my face the first time I saw this. The teary eyes, the goosebumps, the excitement, the emotion......it's all so relatable!! Then their Dutch singer (Floor) appeared on this Dutch TV-programme called "Beste Zangers" (where singers pay tribute to eachother's songs). She KILLED it on every song, with her duet of The Phantom of the Opera with the real Dutch Phantom as an absolute highlight! Look it op "Floor Jansen & Henk Poort", you will NOT be disappointed!!!
Definitely checking that out!
Laugh, cry, forget how to breathe... These is why I love watching guys react to Nightwish for the first time. 'Cause in the way, it makes me live my first Nightwish time again. 🖤
I feel like I will be doing that as well now after hearing them for the first time ❤️
Warning: Your face could get stuck in that position for hours and hours if you'd decide to view some other songs by Nightwish!
My personal favorites would be the greatest show on earth, storytime and the poet and the pendulum but any Nightwish music is jaw dropping! Congrats on discovering the best band in the world (by far!)
OMG...FINALLY got to see you reacting to my favorite band!! Welcome to the #NightwishArmy!
Floor Jansen's voice is enough to make a grown man cry.
And hell yeah, we want you to do more!
Get ready to watch your channel blow up!
There are over 1400 reactions to Ghost Love Score on UA-cam. I haven't seen all of them, but I have seen a lot, and I think this will always be my favorite. ❤
Trust me we in the Nightwish Army have seen that reaction many times and it never get old. Also Floor had only been touring with Nightwish for 10 month at this concert.
I’m 71 and love Led Zeppelin. Now I am in a conundrum. Nightwish or Led Zeppelin as my favorite. Your reaction is priceless. I smile as I watch your mouth drop and stay open. So genuine. Thanks for the review.
Arizona chapter of the Nightwish Army reporting in. Welcome to the unbelievable rabbit hole that is Nightwish/Floor Jansen! Nightwish is the most innovative band in the world and Floor is the most versatile singer in the world; from growls to opera, she is amazing. Just follow our leader Gabriel's list and you cannot go wrong. For a great sample of her abilities, all of her performances from Beste Zangers 2019 are mind blowing. New subscriber here, keep up the Nightwish/Floor reactions and the entire NWA will follow suit.
Nightwish - the most beautiful music in the world 🖤🖤🖤
Dude,I totally understand how it hit you.. I just so happened upon them on UA-cam several months back..I never really cared for metal music,until I listened to several of NightWish's tracks..I'm 60 + yrs..I absolutely love them
They're just something truly amazing!! 🤘❤️
You have been Floored !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol don't worry i had tears the first time I heard herd her
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
I LOVE watching people's first reaction to Nightwish because I did the exact same thing that you did. First time I heard them was this song and I just sat there with my jaw dropped the entire song, then went nuts after it finished. They are now my #1 band. I recommend Poet and the Pendulum, Romanticide, Shoemaker (has operatic vocals), Greatest Show on Earth...just all their songs actually lol. Enjoy this wonderful rabbit hole!
Nightwish is from Finland, but Floor Jansen, the lead singer, is Dutch.
Troy is from Druidia
That's right. And she lives in a ranch in Sweden, literally a few minutes from where I live.
Nightwish Army, Utah USA division, reporting for duty. I started following you on your Pentatonix journey in hopes you would start down the Nightwish rabbit hole. Welcome to the fold. Your energy and personality are intoxicating, leaving me grinning ear to ear, and I am looking forward to seeing more PTX and now NW from you. Cheers.
welcome (back) to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive).
this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream"
this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish 🙂
Your face was brilliant, and she does it to us all. Her name is Floor and she's one of a kind. Floor is their 3rd female singer and yes her stage presence is phenomenal, in fact they all have great stage presence and they all get on so well you can see them having a blast! A great one for Floors showmanship is 'i want my tears back' live in Buenos Aires. Be warned, your eyes may bug out when you see her outfit!
Man I’m so happy we’ve gotten to nightwish. The army is on its way. I think we need a nightwish journey and the next stop should be romanticide a little different feel.
Yes!!🤘
Or something real crazy like "Yours is an empty hope" the opposite side of Floor's spectrum.
Every band member in Nightwish is awesome!
Keep watching, listening & loving the experiences!
Your going to enjoy it all!
Who are Nightwish?
Well, only the best band currently playing in the world.
Gabriel will guide you on the journey if you choose.
Just wait until you hear the bass player sing!
Every member a master - and you haven't seen them all in this song.
Had to laugh - when Floor started singing you had the standard First-time-Nightwish expression. Mouth open, awestruck expression. Classic.
You have heard 15 to 20% ofcwhat Nightwish can do, and about the same percentage if what Floor can do (anything from true opera to growling to pop and everything in between).
My top 3 (don't watch Nov1 yet): The Poet and the Pendulum
Song of Myself (Wacken, bass player sings - a bit)
7 Days to the Wolves from Wembley (you'll LOVE that)
I think the Valkyrie Queen may have claimed another soul. I'm sure I spotted a Floorgasm.
The Big Boys? THESE are the big boys. Nobody matches them.
Nightwish Army UK Eastern division signing out for now...
P.P S. Nightwish at Bloodstock is available on youtube.
Oh, BTW they are at Wembley in November.
Great reaction, those of us as Nightwish fans look forward to reactions such as yours. No matter how many times we've watched this video, it's watching someone's first time is special, and your genuine reaction was special.
It never gets old.... LOL! And imagine you have just scratched the surface...
Ah can't wait!!!
Well THIS IS THE RABBIT HOLE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED!!😂😂😂
I have seen Nightwish live many times (2021 summer last time) and im also from Finland myself. I love also kpop and other genres but metal and ESPECIALLY sinfonic metal was what I grew up listening to. Aaaand if I would still have to pick one singer from the world… It would be Floor Jansen🤩🤩
And they are from Finland! Floor is though from Neatherlands and also Troy who joined a few years ago. Troy is from UK and plays various traditional instrumets and pipes.🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

All their songs and all their music will surprise you. She can growl as deep as Tati from Jinjer and she is classically trained supran, she do it all and the band do it all :-)
I don't know about Floor going as deep in her growls as Tati but she CAN growl, which is UNHEARD OF when talking about people who are classically trained. :)
She growls???
Oh damn!
@@jamescurfman3284 Heh, she even said it in an interview when the interviewer commented, "I didn't know you could growl like that." - "I didn't know that either!" 😂
@@mcwolf1096 :D
@@GOTGames Floor Jansen was in a band called After Forever from the time she was sixteen years old. They eventually broke up (very sad, they were good on stage) and she eventually formed a new band, Revamp. She broke that band up when she joined Nightwish because she would not be able to focus on both bands with any sort of stability (or maybe she thought the quality of the music would be unsustainable; either way, sad, but a smart move).
She has AT LEAST two songs she growls in for Revamp and they are Disdain (doesn't matter which version you pick to watch, you can clearly hear her growls because she is the only vocalist doing anything while she is growling) and Wildcard.
For Nightwish, there is a song that she growls in called Yours Is An Empty Hope (in some versions, it's really difficult to make out that SHE is growling and not the band's bassist Marko. In other versions, it is 'easier' to hear it).
Check them all out, they are all FIRE! Good luck, have fun! :)
Welcome to Nightwish, you have just had what we call a “Floorgasm” her name is Floor Jenson (yawnsen) she is the 3rd vocalist for the group. The keyboardist Tuomas is the leader and main composer for the group. Their songs are best viewed live. marko the bassist is also very very accomplished singer, he just won finlands masked singer. But he has recently left the band for health and family. I’m sure Gabriel will show up here and give you a list of songs and backgrounds so you will get a feel for this group. Floor was classically trained soprano, but she does do dirty deep growling. She can do it all.
K Quincy Her name is Floor Jansen not Jenson. Floor Jansen is Dutch and 'Jansen' is a very common name in The Netherlands. You misspell her name by spelling it like a Scandiavian name.
@@hansolo2121 and your point? Besides my microphone not picking it up or my poor typing…pick pick pick
@@kquincy3068 Dude my point is that you can't even spell her name right... And it wasn't a typo either. I suggest you go and pick pick pick out a way to improve your spelling skills.
@@hansolo2121 haha ya see you in class mr …. I can spell better than anyone -- “Scandiavian” scandinavian is what you meant nimrod . I always wanted to know what a douche looked like. Look no further than the pompous - Hand me my solo wanker
Great reaction! 👍🤘
Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁
Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best and most versatile female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (D3 to F6+).
Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today.
The other vocalists are -
Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals.
Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals.
Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera.
The other band members are/were -
Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland)
Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland)
Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland)
Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues
Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom)
Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present
Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on UA-cam where she regularly posts covers of songs.
The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen.
The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is EXTREMELY varied.
The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set.
Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible.
Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb.
Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Romanticide, Storytime, Ever Dream, Ghost River, I Wish I had an Angel, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Want My Tears Back and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken).
Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance.
Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version.
Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way.
Prepare for the Nightwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘
This is the song that got me watching music reacts. If there was ever a song you wish you could hear for the first time again. I've seen them in concert several times. One of the best. If you want more like this, I recommend Epica, another band with a trained opera singer. Their live performance of Consign to Oblivion is divine.
Well, hello! Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. The singer is a Dutch singer/songwriter and vocal coach Floor Jansen, the best singer of the world (IMHO). The band is from Finland, as I'm too. So, greetings! ⛄👍
Greetings Pekka, how you doing :)
@@Piia2023 Fine. I was sleeping. Höyhensaaret, you know. 😴👍
@@pekkakarppinen1608 well, youneed that sometimes :) nice seeing your ok.
@@Piia2023 No niin, kivahan se on kun "vanhat" ystävät kyselevät kuulumisia. Kiirettähän se kirjanpitäjällä näin keväällä pitelee. Mutta mitä mieltä sinä olet Floorin uudesta singlestä?
Varsin hyvä power pop biisi se minusta on ja videokin tehty Suomessa. Mutta eipä kuulu radiosoittoa, ei edes Sanoma -konsernin kanavilla. Ei siitä ADA -diilistä tainnut olla mitään hyötyä noita radiosyndikaatteja vastaan.
@@pekkakarppinen1608 itse joskus kirjanpitoa tehnyt niin tiedän, nyt tosin teen ihan muuta. On se ihan hyvä biisi, vähän Nightwish vivahteita, siitä Tuomas vaan sovittelemaan Nighwishiin, eipä ole radiossa soinut. Levyjä tulee nyt ihan kivasti, Nightwish, Crewish ja Floor tässä tulevaisuudessa. Nightwish toivottavasti nousee nyt lavalle kohta :)
Is it just me? Getting goosebumps from the commenter's response, to their response to the video, that also gives me goosebumps?
Oh Boy, you have started something now, I believe Storytime will be next. Gabriel will let you know the list :)
Her voice made me tear up, absolutely beautiful
This was a really enjoyable reaction. I do hope you will go on a Nightwish journey as every song is different and unique.
I'm not crying, you are...... every frigging time she hits that note rips my heart out.
I've probably watched this performance a hundred times and I still get emotional when Floor hits that last high note along with the imagery and energy of the band and audience!!!
It is just amazing! Just hits like a bus! ❤️
Floor Jansen, 6 foot plus Valkyrie. I was fortunate enough to see Nightwish live, and Floor just dominates the stage. Her towering presence, her opera trained voice, it was amazing! I'm 80 years old and the reason I went was my granddaughter kept talking about Symphonic Metal...so we went to see what it was about, and now I'm a total fan...
❤️🤘
What a terrific first-time reaction to this glorious band and to the Nightwish Army's Valkyrie Queen, the lovely and talented Floor Jansen. Nightwish kills their live performances. Every song at this Wacken 2013 concert is amazing. Some of the harder ones are Romanticide and Weak Fantasy. I also recommend you hear Floor doing the deep growling in every chorus of "Yours is an Empty Hope" live at Wembley 2015. To watch Floor drive an audience into an insane FRENZY, watch "I Want my Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2019. Enjoy your journey down the Nightwish rabbit hole.
Best band on this planet! Thanks for reacting!
Flippin awesome reaction dude, that was amazing, that was my 1st ever song video I watched, The poet and the pendulum live at Wembley is a good one to react to, and the the greatest show on earth Live at Tempur Finland from where the band is from, I was one of the one who requested this and you did it justice dude, I will put your reaction on the Nightwish page and the Nightwish army will come visit 🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘
Mine reaction to Nightwish was similar. I spent whole night watching them performing. They have so many great songs
Cannot wait to get through them all 🤘
ah yes you are one of my favorite reactors and I love night wish so this is gonna be amazing
This, my friend, is symphonic metal. If you go there, you will never go back!
I love the fact you were so energetic through your introduction and hyped. Even the pirates stuff, you were so damn excited and then Floor sang and you just immediately shut up and drank it all in xD
😂 so true!
The second she started singing that was it!
Awesome reaction brah..Best live band in the world~!
Great reaction. You’ll find the incomparable quality grows as you listen to more of their stuff. No two of their songs really sound alike…they’ve almost become a genre unto themselves.
You made my day with your reaction! It was so much fun to watch this video, thank you! ❤❤❤
Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA, USA welcomes you to the magical greatness of Nightwish. A ban of many styles and sounds, each performance is better than the last! This band is going to change your life, friend!
That was legit, one of the most authentic reactions I've seen in awhile! The goosebumps, the tears...all standard fare. Loved the look on your face when Floor started singing! Brilliant!
Watch your comments (I know, you're kinda freaking out cuz there's alot of us...and alot of info...its OK, we'll be here to assist you) for one from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances, ready for reactions! I really think you should see the heavier side... next, Romanticide.
I hope you continue down the path...if you do...we will come with you! There's nothing like the backing of The Nightwish Army!
Everyone in nightwish is amazing in their own field. We are been blessed as a generation and I feel grateful to been introduced to this band in 1998 when the cassettes were available.
Welcome to the rabbitt hole called NIGHTWISH , there is no turning back. Check Storytime, Ghost river, Song of myself,Romanticide, Elan, and many more. Greetings from finland, three weeks to the next Nightwish show🤘here in Finland, the home of Nightwish.
I am the same as you, metalhead my entire life and I recently found Nightwish about 2 years ago, literally changed my life, I'm so happy you found them!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ah, Nightwish! I believe I started to listen to them when I was some 11 years old (and now I'm 30 and feeling old). The band was formed in Finland, and still many of the members are from here, some have never changed since they started in 1996. Their vocalist has changed three times, and I must say Floor (she's the singer now) is one hell of a powerful person. I recommend Storytime live, I believe one is from Wacken as well, that's one of my favorites from them!
One of the best reactions I have seen! You seem like a lot of fun.
I think the Nightwish army will put you over the 50K sub mark. I added mine as I think you are a must watch for future Floorgasms! Yes, you had several already. It's when the truck hits the deer and you shake uncontrolably or you get goosebumps all over! :)
Gabriel has already posted. Our General has laid out some of the targets for your journey down the Nightwish rabbit hole. Enjoy the journey!
Welcome to Nightwish with our Dutch Charismatic Valkyrie Metal Goddess Floor Jansen!
Floor Just released her very first own solo song FIRE, also definitely worth checking out!
Your goosebumps are called floorgasms your tears come from Floor singing straight into your soul.
Hello G.O.T. Games and welcome to Nightwish! At this Wacken 2013 concert in August, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen), Dutch, was only 10 months with the band. She is the 3rd singer of the band. She stepped in in the midst of their US leg, and halfway their World Tour after the band fired their 2nd singer. She had 48 hrs to learn the setlist. Not a lot of people in this crowd knew her and didn't know what to expect but in the first few minutes of the show she had them in the palm of her hands. Find Gabriel Bardac in the comments. He is the "General" of our NW Army and he has a very long list of info for you. Greetings from the Netherlands!
P.S.: NW videos are almost never blocked!
The nightwish army welcomes you and trust us....Anything live from this concert is golden!!!
You just got me excited about ”Ghost Love Score” all over again 😅 Love to see your reaction to the show! Next your should react to ”Storytime”, ”Romanticide” or ”Dark Chest of Wonders” from the same Wacken 2013 show :)
Enjoy the Floor-gasms my friend! Welcome to all that is Nightwish
I'm ashamed to say I've never heard Nightwish before this.
But when you stopped after she sang a bit, all I could think was that she is mesmerizing.
Oh, a new discovery for you too!
Have a look at "General" Gabriels list, dip in, take your pick...
Welcome to the "Nightwish Army" :)
@@stpfs9281 Thanks for the recommendation. Will give a listen.
Congratz, you've got your first Floorgasm!
They're from Finland and Floor is from the Netherlands iirc.
Btw: This was pretty much her introduction as the new singer, after the rather mediocre Anette, which had replaced Tarja Turunen, who whas the original singer before.
I've seen them the first time live after their second album released and had a blast and they kept on improving.
Oh really?? This was one hell of an introduction to the band! She's incredible
If you want to see them live, I have good news for you. They are touring the UK in November. I have tickets for Wembley Arena on the 21st, and Birmingham on the 22nd (and also for NYC on May 8th).
We are the Nightwish Army, and Floor is our general.
Nightwish Army, Essex, here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish. There are a lot of symphonic bands out there, but, for me, Nightwish are top of the pile. Finnish band, with a Dutch lead singer, Floor Jansen. Percussionist/instrumentalist, who wasn't on stage, is English.
Great reaction. They are at Wembley Arena in November. Can't wait.
Hello G.O.T Games.
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.
yeah for real it never gets old
Youve met the valkerie Goddess and the boys, they are their own genre enjoy.
It is nothing to late for the Nightwish Army🤘🤘🤘
Nightwish Army Texas reporting in.
The reaction you had right at the beginning when your brain stopped working and then rebooted was priceless.
That is the reason why everybody tells everybody to start with this song.
Get comfy in your computer chair buddy the Nightwish armies coming for your Page. Welcome to the Nightwish Army you've just been enlisted.
Hello from Connecticut USA. Awesome reaction to Nightwish and the Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen. Yes her voice is angelic. I enjoyed your comments and pure joy watching this epic video. I have subscribed and I am looking forward to your Nightwish journey.
Appreciate you my friend! Much more to come! Maybe one today
Great to have you become part of the nightwish army. Gabriel will fill you in on all things nightwish, kind of the main nightwish ambassador. A couple of songs I can recomend next are "wish I had an angel" and "the greatest show on earth". Both feature the vocals of the bands then bassist, Marco, who is equally as mind blowing on the mic.
Watching your jaw drop in awe is just the reaction people were looking for ;P
😂🤘🤘
Really liked your reaction buddy! I never knew there were 'reactions' on youtube until I stumbled on NW...now I've watched hundreds. NW suck you in and enrich your life. There's no escape...looking forward to your 'journey' (Hint: there's so much variety and such an emotional rollercoaster with NW you'll never tire of them).
🇺🇸 New Jersey Nightwish fan. This Rabbit Hole is Deep my friend. Great jaw open review 🤣
DAM GOOD REACTION, love every second of it. Follow Gabriel list at the bottom of his comments. Can't go wrong has links and songs we all like. Enjoy the ride, the singer is 6' 1" and is a beast on stage.
Definitely do more Nightwish!! You won’t be sorry.
More to come!
