Elvenpath is the very first track on Nightwish's debut studio album "Angels Fall First" from 1997. It's an important piece of history, and it's so cool that they still find room for this awesome song in their live set. Thanks for a nice reaction!
Elvenjig is one of my absolute favorites! What a JAM!
Hey Ryan. Thanks so much for including the Top 2000 message and getting it done so quickly! 🤍 Awesome!!!
I enjoyed your reaction too, as always. There are still plenty of songs for you to discover, so the journey can continue for a long time 😄
Hahahha my thought exactly Tinus! Keep it going Ryan, thanks for the top 2000 support 😁
@@ikkeschopkont Tinus? Ouch, if you want to tease me, use that nickname 🤣🤣
Troy is a beast. The level at which he plays all those instruments is amazing. It’s Troy’s world. 🤟🏻
I've commented on it many times now. I read an interview by Metall Hammer with Troy. Since Floor the band has been totally balanced. and Floor is an absolute powerhouse. She can do anything on stage, says Troy. For me, not only floor can do everything, the band can do everything on stage too. Greetings from Germany
Yeah, Nightwish is like that girl you dated for awhile, and then got sidetracked by another hussy. Every once in a while you see her at the mall, and kick yourself for straying. Nightwish isn't going anywhere. It's kind of up to you. And yeah, Tuomas is blessed with talent. I am always amazed how band members seem to be magnetically pulled together to form perfection.
Everyone shines on this one but for me special shout out for Emppu.
Elvenpath was the first song I heard from Nightwish and I've been hooked ever since.
Same here, and it was looong ago 😄
Wow, great reaction!! Wife and I agree we need to bookmark this reaction and refer back to it whenever we are down or having a bad day. Just watching your facial reaction and all the joy you expressed is uplifting for us. Also helps that this is one of our favorite performances. Ryan, you never fail us with your reactions. Stay safe and continue to enjoy your Nightwish ride. We're right there with you.
Wow thank you!
Nightwish always feels like coming home
This is my favorite song ever, it speaks to me like nothing else
🇬🇧 Norfolk division reporting for duty let’s do this
Thanks for the message about the Top 2000!
Nightwish will always take you on a journey.
Awesome! Great shoutout about the voting. This is a great song.
Yes Ryan you are back for real with NW and fantastic how you try to get NW high in our top2000, i am voting every year, thanks dear friend for just the way you react on my fav band😀
slow love slow is floor singing seductive jazz and emmppuuuu is awesome as a jazz guitarist
Oh... That little gem... Just thinking about it gives me the chills!
Ryan, if you're into some smokey jazz vibes, that's the one! Nightwish with a jazz vibe.
So much to enjoy in this one - I particularly like Empuu's raised eyebrows in the solo.
He has funny expressions when he is focussed on his work. Love that too.
Tuomas does what he does with the co-operation with people he trust and feel comfortable. That is just my feeling. Now there's gonna be something happening IF Marko decides to REALLY stay out of NW (which we all are afraid of ...), they need to figure out how to move on (my opinion as M had such a big role). There is a great bassist in place and I have heard him sing. Dunno what NW plans are for the future. Also Troy can sing 🤗 Anyway, this one is a great song 👍We will see what happens in the future of NW regarding singing second vocals. Anyway, enjoy the music, greetings from Finnish Lapland, stay safe and healthy 👍👍
It's always fun to see you have fun with a band having fun with what they do. 😁
Thanks Ryan!😄👍your comment:"ou, it's 7 minutes...awesome!". That's so funny😁 before Nightwish; I bet you have thought...7 minutes, no way I'm going to listen...😂 Nightwish is magic ❤ Marko 😍🤘
Looks that you find your way back! ;) nice to see you at Nightwish again, so nice and honset reaction/feelings :) hope to see you soon again :)
Almost forgot about the Top 2000 vote this year, thx for the reminder.
I put in My vote's on Nightwish :)
Always one of my favourite tracks, until I hear the next one, Nightwish are just too good. Nice reaction man .
I love to see Tuomas smiling there ❤️ Also Marko has big smile ❤️
Wonder when you might get to Human ll Nature album... 😉🔥
I voted yesterday in the Dutch top2000. I also included TGSOE. It would be fun to see a 24min song in the list!
Ryan, of course I voted, but it is special that you talk about this opportunity. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
This song also reminds you Nightwish had 3 fantastic guitarists, all very talented with different abiltities and the abiltiy to create an amazing sound together. Troy was playing an irish Low whistle as well as the uillean pipes. I know what you mean the drums pounding an incessant powerful beat. 🤘🤘🤘
I'm a little jealous of the AUDIENCE. Jesus, NIGHTWISH 🔥🤘 always makes something special out of it.
The IMAGES in the background is
AMAZING. 🔝👍
Great, great response 💙
Thank You so much
Love from the Netherlands
❤️ 🤍 💙 🇳🇱 🙋🏼♀️
The latest Marko performances, if you want to check them out:
Waltari feat. Marko Hietala "Below Zero" 2021. It is a remake of an old Waltari song.
Mika Jaakkola feat. Marko Hietala "Soita" (soita = play!)
Now there is a video for the song, only a couple of days old. The song was released 3 months ago on Mika's YT- channel without a video.
Mika Jaakkola is a guitarist, who suffers from focal dystonia, after decades of playing the guitar. It is a neurological dysfunction, causing spasms. Golfers, for example, can have this same problem as musicians. Mika had to learn to play differently, he plays lap steel now.
Hi Risto. Funny you mention 'Soita'. I actually told Ryan about this song a couple of hours before you did, thought it would be something he'd like. I think it's pretty good. Didn't know about the focal dystonia though. The Waltari song is nice too, have had that on my playlist for a while now.
Nightwish could really do a fantasy movie soundtrack.
Tuomas' genius has a Floor...but no ceiling.
Hey, that's the Dutch annual top 2000 of all time! Def gonna vote. Tnx for the link. Bohemian Rapsody was nummer 1 for as long as I can remember. Last year it was Rollercoaster from Danny Vera though. I know it's silly, but it pissed me off. Bohemian Rapsody is supposed to be number 1 FOREVER!! Rollercoaster is a nice song, but come on.... Bohemian Rapsody is epic!
Couldn't click on this fast enough. It's Marmite - you hate it or you're sensible and love it! ;)
Just used my very rusty Dutch to vote for Nightwish.... and when I mean rusty.... it's like an Alfa Romeo from the 80s... there's nothing left. :D
LOL...I couldn't get the page to translate either.......I THINK I voted...
The first song I heard from them in 1997. I bought their second album as fast as I could back in 1998.
Hey brother!
For some reason none of your vids are showing up on my feed...
Better late than never!
Thanks for the reaction and push for the Nightwish "Get out the Vote".
I know you had a hand in getting Floor and Henck up to #75!!
And love this pairing... Can you imagine the epic talent? Floor had a nasty head cold and was considering delaying the performance...
My opinion about Tuomas' creativity...
There's 'before' and 'after'.
'Before' he was painting his work on a flat canvas. 'After' he's able to create on a 3D holographic medium...
He was constrained by a 'flat Earth'..
Floor gives him the freedom to explore the Galaxy without limits.
I think the collaboration he and Floor demonstrated on SHOEMAKER gives us a glimpse of the future....and I'm here for it.
Thanks...look forward to hearing from you soon.
Slaying the Dreamer from the same concert 😈🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Always deliver man. Another nice one. Big love from Spain.
PS. I keep missing the Telly lol
Thanks for the radio plug. Voted but couldn't find How's The Heart searching under Nightwish but voted for other three.
Thx for this great performance. For double kicks of drum and Marko & Floor singing together you have to react to „Everdream“ (live from Wacken 2013)…
I think I have already
@@RyanMear Yes, you’re right. But is it possible you didn’t react to: EPICA - Sancta Terra (feat. Floor)?
Nope, not yet
@@RyanMear Ok. I am waiting… 👍😂
When you drop a Bill Murray reference so slick that no one catches it. 😉 Appreciate the reaction, this is one of the few I haven't heard yet. Love that you pointed out Troy becoming a rock star playing folk music woodwinds.
😉
Hey long time you weren't suggested to me 🤟 I'll vote right away I'm Dutch living in France 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 and yeah Troy is a damn Rockstar
Always a journey, always magic!
Top reactor, Top Floor and NW. Never forget Tuomas.
Why the hell is UA-cam only notifying me about this reaction now, one week after you posted it.😡. There's nothing more satisfying than watching you react to Nightwish with the same enjoyment that I've got out of listening to them for about the last 20 odd years. Keep up the great work. P.S. One more Nightwish fan heading over to your discord. 🤘👍
Yes!
Great reaction! The way it lighted your flame is fantastic! I wish for you a great journey and enjoyment of music! Thank you.
Love your pure reaction, as always! ❤️
YEAH! Troy is a total Rockstar! Thank you for calling him out, he doesn't get enough credit for his massive contribution to the Nightwish sound!
If you're missing Marco (cuz we all are, and we'll be here for whatever he lands on) check out his early band, Tarot. I love the song Tides. Also check out Tarot playing for Heavy Metal on Ice...no, not kidding, it's a real thing! Also his collaboration w Waltari, Below Zero.
Empu’s ending solo, his tone and play style here in particular sounds a ton like Donald “Buck Dharma” Roesere’s playing in many of Blue Oyster Cults pieces.
If you have never heard him play, well that’s a tragedy.
One of the most versatile and melodic “feel” guitarists ever, a true chameleon.
🥰
You can see how happy Tuomas looks, he realy likes his music.
I did vote for Ghost Love score. Hope it works to get them in the last hour. And yes. These two songs make me shiver all over too. Actually all NW songs do that. Fun fact: Floor was feeling not so good this evening. I don't hear that at all.
Thank you Ryan!!!
Already on your Discord and even had an album suggestion accepted!! Not Nightwish though. Still so much for you to discover when you can squeeze Nightwish in between so much Band Maid Lol. How about something from latest album Human II Nature? Maybe both versions of How's the Heart, album version and acoustic on Planet Rock.
I just love Elvenjig live.
Nice reaction. Yeah, Nightwish, Band Maid, Nemophila, Lovebites the bands that have me banging, rocking, and smiling. Nice tidbit: Lovebites albums are mixed, mastered at Finnock in Finland, same as Nightwish. Miyako likes Tuomas compositions. Don't know which NW songs you haven't done yet, but Nemophilas new Hypnosis is incredible, brilliant song.
Crap, I forgot about that! I listened to it and loved it, but just got REAL busy and it got lost in the shuffle
I might be wrong , but this video might be the one .... in this ( I Think ) you see and hear Floor, when she was battling a nasty flu...
But Show Must go on , and what an excellent Emppu ending .
Funny enough , This song hit me hard , especially that first verse :
"The sheltering shade of the forest
Calling come in silence
Accompanied only by the full moon
Howling of a night wolf
And the path under my bare feet
The elvenpath" . I walked home through the woods after work, it was already dark. And suddenly a full moon appeared behind the clouds, and then, this verse Hit me (I think it was also Floor's voice). Every hair in my body stood up ..... It Was Awesome
NWSU 🤘😎🤘
Well, sort of. I think she was just coming down with it in this one, but it was in Bogota a few days later that she was really sick. But this is the Buenos Aires show, the one that's in full on the DVD. I guess they were originally going to film all of Bogota as well (maybe the plan was two full shows for the DVD set like Tampere and Wembley on Vehicle of Spirit?), but it was too obvious that she wasn't at her best there. I just know that the Bogota version of this song, you can really hear the illness in her voice.
I like the Bogota version for showing a bit more of what Emppu and Marco are doing for the sounds at the start, Troy forgetting a pipe again (someone leans out and gives it to him), seeing Marco trading the Beast and basses as fast as he can, and Floor for being so damned sick (she even comments on that video about it) they decided not to use that show for the DVD, and yet still being better than 99.99% of the singers out there. She was still not atop he game for this show either, but Bogota was where she really got hammered under.
My votes are in!
I think you asked for suggestions for your next foray. So I already mentioned 10th man down. Which I love but I'd forgotten Bless the child from 2013:wacken. Fabulous performance.
Marko has some really fantastic solo stuff as well. Check out live performances of “For You” and “Star, Sand, and Shadow.” The former is vocally amazing and the later has one of my all time favorite bass lines.
I've been listening to his solo stuff today. He is SO good.
Another banger from Buenos Aires, you already did some, next in line "Slaying the dreamer" ;-)
Good to see you back with Nightwish....I was getting a bit upset for you being unfaithfull .....but I worried too much and everything is alright now....... LOL
Tolkiens "Lord of the Ring" Elvish is from Finnish language ! (Tolkien like the Finnish Mytology "Kalevala/Väinämöinen).
Thank you Ryan!!!!!!!!!!😊
I am a simple lad, every time I see tin whistler, I smile
Have you ever heard Kennedy's Kitchen??
@@RyanMear Ye mate, that one is pure gold reel
They are from my area, great group of people!
@@RyanMear Raise my guinness to these lovely lads, much respect from Eire
Well done Ryan! As always. Would it be safe to say that in your brief journey reacting to music on your channel, Nightwish ranks in the top 5 for biggest discoveries?
Most definitely!
Floor elevates part 2 of this fantastic piece of music
Ryan!
Greetings from under a dormant volcano where I suspect a hibernating dragon is being awakened!
Nightwish is a typical band from Northern Europe, hard, powerful and monolith, although their history has been more than chaotic!
I tend to listen to them in very particular conditions. They would be perfect when taking a break from reading a fantasy story!
Comments much appreciated!
Best regards,
RbertGilles
I’ve got 1 for you Ryan. Not sure if you’ve heard it before but if not check out Evergrey - In Orbit ( featuring Floor) I’m sure you’ll love it
I already voted for NW
❤️
So there I was in Katsu's having a coffee with Floor & I said "You have a wonderful voice". She replied "Thx I also hear you love BAND-MAID", which was nice of her :)
Well, that's a special story, let's hear more....
@@RyanMear Well I could tell you that Floor's husband Hannes took me for a drive in his new tank later & we nearly got arrested for doing donuts in a parking lot, but that's another story Ryan.😏
LOL
@@RyanMear Hi Ryan. Did you ever get any further with the "My View" song I sent you or did you get bored with it? I don't mind either way but I accidently deleted the vid you sent me & I want to save it to my drive. Could you please re-send it to my email if you still have it. How can you ignore my imploring emoji face.🥺
I didn't get bored with it, i just tend to get sidetracked with things..... doing this was easier when I wasn't supposed to work LOL had LOTS of time. I'll find it for you👍
NW army here.
So beautiful and stripet down 🙂
Somebody said Troy looks like a gnome sitting on a rock .
Voted for GLS and Elan, but could not find How's the Heart in the list.
You can add songs yourself if they're not on the list. Maybe next year?
@@martine3293 Okay, in which space do I do it?
@@KristiinaBerg If you search for the song and can't find it, a box opens saying "Niet gevonden wat je zocht? Voeg een vrije keuze toe" (= Can't find what you're looking for? Add a free choice). Click on the "+" and you'll be able to add an artist and song.
@@martine3293 Thanks, Martine!
Pause 11:34 ..I want that action figure~!
I think maybe you liked it
Check nightwish walking in the air.
Waltari featuring Marko hietala. ua-cam.com/video/CcPER7WIMHM/v-deo.html
Yes, Marko has been in few projects lately. Last Friday this was released.
MIKA JAAKKOLA feat. MARKO HIETALA - SOITA ua-cam.com/video/dHI64gOj6Tg/v-deo.html
I think Ryan might like both of these. If not make a reaction, at least listen in his own time 😊
Waltari feat. Marko Hietala - Below Zero 2021 version ua-cam.com/video/CcPER7WIMHM/v-deo.html
He was also involved into this new Heavy Christmas (Raskasta Joulua in finnish) song:
Raskasta Joulua - Stars (Hear 'n Aid cover) ua-cam.com/video/wa9WiNJzHIs/v-deo.html
Sadly, the website says the polls are closed.
Dang!
Have you done 10th man down yet?
Nope
I will wait and look forward to that then.
Not fast no nut relentless driving impetus.
You said how Tuomas can make the songs knowing the band can perform them... but you have not reacted to any of the songs Tuomas has actually written for this group. All albums except the last one was written for slightly different composition of bandmembers...
