Yes the new drummer is Kai Hahto . Jukka stepped down in 2014 because he has been suffering from insomnia and recommended his very good friend and mentor Kai . Kai is now the permanent drummer and Jukka is still with the band in a management position .
And this is how a Nightwish concert opens, while Floor's voice is smooth and rich like creme. She's like the inside of a luxury vehicle, while the band, is the buff exterior, all Super Suped-up, giving us a pleasurable ride. Also, I love your reactions to Nightwish. Keep it coming!
@@themetalmuse Marco's solo stuff is certainly worth checking out. His phonebook contains the names of competent musicians eager to show their stuff and his voice can convey the feeling of the songs very well.
Enjoyed your reaction and your kitty! Yes the first time I heard the keyboard part it was a little weird but I like it now. Especially when you know the context of the song being about the universe and space. It really adds a fun 80's space vibe. He does something similar in Stargazer which fits great with the song.
He’s such a muncher. He’s also so vocal. He just chats away and has a unique array of meows depending on what he wants. The most effective is the “silent meow of hunger”. Look mumma I’m on the brink of collapse from you being 5 minutes late.
Awe thank you! His purr is so loud in person. He drools and makes biscuits when he's going full derp. Sometimes he mouths too but it isn't a bite, it's like he's giving little love nibbles.
Yes. An absolutely epic opener to a Nightwish concert. Carol, my lovely wife, and I got to see them live at the historic Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on May 18, 2022. and the show was incredible. Thank you for this wonderful reaction to our beloved Nightwish.
Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembley… one of the best concert openings I’ve ever seen. Ladies and gentleman…start your engines. The show has begun.😀🤘 What a “blow your mind” way to start a show! Absolutely kickass. Kai in Beast Mode …Everyone performing at the very highest level….as usual🤘
The more you watch and especially listen to Kai on drums you understand why Jukka chose Kai to replace him. Jukka was a show in himself, hot damn he was fun to watch, holy crap. Kai brings subtleties to the songs that may take a dozen times listening to hear. When I hear one I haven't heard before, I get this big smile on face. How a band could wind up with two of the best drummers to sit behind a kit is amazing. There's just no end to the talent in this band. It's an E ticket ride everytime. Enjoy your ride, these folks are like nothing you've ever heard before.
I love the description I read in a comment section about Jukka and Kai's differences "Jukka is a sith and Kai is a jedi" both great drummers but the way they play it fits. Jukka more animated, chaotic sorta like a sith and Kai, more technical, calm, in touch with the force, a jedi :)
What an epic show opener! Right there with "Dark Chest of Wonders" from Wacken 2013, IMO. Always great to see Bruno make an appearance! And yes, Floor is something special, but you're beautiful in your own right, so no need to compare yourself to her. 🤟
They certainly know how to open a show, don't they? This Wembley show is loaded with goodies. I'm glad you're having a chance to meet Kai. He's a wonderful, gifted drummer with maybe the most power and precise double-kicks anywhere. Thanks!
The spoken section is voiced by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. you'll hear him again when you get to Weak Fantasy His works , as well as Darwin's , were inspirations for the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album, which this song from. The song opened the album, and is a great concert opener, and features the first keyboard/guitar duel in about 15 years , at the time. The "Beautiful" refers to the beauty of the Earth and all it has to offer. Yes, different drummer. Original drummer , Jukka Nevalainen, had to step aside from performing in 2014 due to health issues caused by severe insomnia, but he remains with the band in management. Jukka called his friend , Kai Hahto from Wintersun, to take over. The EFMB album is the first recorded with Kai and Floor. Elan has a good music video, you could do a double reaction, with the live and MV, when you get to that song here at the Wembley concert.
A lot of people seem to like the old school keyboard/guitar duel (me included) - but there are definitely others who aren't too keen. Floor does look amazing - you are 100% correct.🇬🇧🤘🤘
That solo duel (along with the relentless drive of the song) makes this one of my favorite NW songs. I love the sound of the keyboard and that awesome riff Emppu is playing while Tuomas is playing.
@@davidcook482 Yeah I feel like the keyboards have that 90s vibe in them.. something like in the Crownless song. So it's probably just a relic from their old songs which had more of these guitar and keyboard duels.
this song is a very good example of the very cool musicianship the flow and the effortless transitions and a very cool title track it certainly helps to give a good and variety of just what the rest of the album will sound like, i enjoyed the sounds and colors of a symphony the horns whistles flutes and color accents of it
Great reaction again and a beautiful song with the powerful voices of Floor and Marko. Your remark that Floor is everything you wish to be saddens me. With all due respect, I think you’re an absolute beauty yourself with about the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen. Sorry, but I just had to say it. Looking forward to your next reaction
Awe thank you, he's such a lovely boy. He's just been to the groomer so he may look a little different in the next video, that's if he choses to grace us with his presence.... maybe I'll lure him with some chicken.
I love Floor, I love Nightwish! Now add those Daisy Dukes to the equation and it’s like homemade peach pie with whipped cream… amazing! Oh by the way, you look great too😊🎶👍 Nice reaction.
Earlier in her career, Floor favored jeans and other pants, as she got older it was shorts and boots. Obviously she liked the way she looks, and so do we. ❤
I wish I had legs for shorts but they always end up looking so weird on me. Like no matter the length I always just end up looking like someones dad on the bottom half lol.
Always a pleasure to see Bruno take front and center. This is a really good show, hope you enjoy the tunes as they present them (then a real treat is the Buenos Aires '18 show.)
🤩👍💥💯🎶 Hey kamoon mi lady... You're as awesome in the way as you are, no comparison in the world ! 🥰👌 Neat reaction mi lovely lady and keep on rockin with this magical band. Cheers from Finland. 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 "Weak Fantasy "live at Tampere 2015 next by them, unless...you're about to do the whole concert at some point, which isn't a bad idea at all...😉👍
HI Dom! Greetings from Wisconsin, USA! I have binge watched all of your Nightwish reactions to date, and you are doing great! I only recently discovered these amazing artists a few months ago, hard to believe. I love the music Tuomas writes, I love all of the guys in the band, and I love Tarja's work as well as Annette's time with the band. But, there is something about Floor that has touched me more than anyone ever has in music. And, she is such a kind, sweet, funny, down to earth normal person. If you haven't yet, check out some of her stuff on her you tube channel. During lockdown she did a Fan Friday series, I've watched them all and they're so much fun! And her Floor Finds is cool too, she interviews various people important to her in her life. So keep doing what you're doing Dom -- you're funny, entertaining, love your cat , love your accent ! Peace and love !
Awe thank you so much! That's fantastic to hear. Also, I will defo go check her stuff out. I watched her react to Storytime at Wacken and that was amazing.
Definitely Wembley show is worth to check full Another epic performance from Nightwish. But also pay attention to lyrics which are very important... You can find some videos with captions. Btw Tuomas / Emppu solos are pure epicness for me ... Thanks for reaction ❤ waiting for more 🔥🤘❤❣🔥
Love your reactions Dom, I agree what people say is your favourite NW song is the last one you heard. Love your cat, he looks like a Norwegian Forest cat.
Hi! First time viewer and recent subscriber here! Nightwish is my favourite band and I love watching reaction videos to their stuff and seeing their amazing music touching so many new people. I would strongly recommend you check out "The Greatest Show On Earth" by them, it's a 20 minute masterpiece that tells the story about the creation of Earth and the birth of humans and animals and of course, Tuomas was like, yeah I can write a song about that easily. I swear that man is the greatest composer alive today. But yeah, love your videos and I hope to see you react to this experience because I think you will love it.
Thank you for the feedback. I will defo check it out. I need to find some proper time for that. Might get some popcorn and do it in my jammies so I can be extra cosy!
My favourite NW concert opener, also the opening song of my favourite album. Yeah, that keyboard sound is...interesting. It's not like that on the album (though it's still spacey), I think Tuomas was just having fun experimenting! My favourite music videos are probably _Elan,_ _The_ _Islander,_ _Noise,_ the competition-winning "official fan video" for _The_ _Crow,_ _The_ _Owl_ _and_ _the_ _Dove,_ and _Amaranth._
Other's have already mentioned Kai as drummer who came from the band Wintersun. Later when Marco left the band the bass from Wintersun, Jukka Koskinen came on board, to take Marco's place.
I heard you say in the reaction from my walden that you like harder mudic Evergrey is a great metalband with amazing vocals,save us,midwinter calls and blindfolded are a great way to start
Hey, this is an epic concert all by itself, so I'm glad you're tackling one of their most iconic performances. I'd also like to say that one of the very very few notes I'd give to Tuomas is to find a different sound on the keyboard for his solo. It doesn't stand out or cut through the mix and does sound like a rather random bit thrown in. But he is otherwise a genius, so I forgive him thiat one lol. Cheers!```
Cool, you've jumped back into the rabbit hole. Marco never has to worry if he'll overpower the lead singer with Floor - whatever he comes with, she can just go an octave or two above..
First, the not so new drummer : Kai Hahto is "The Human Metronome", or in my book Kai "The Machine Gun" Hahto ( is a Finnish musician and drummer). Hahto was a member of the grindcore band Rotten Sound. Hahto then recorded with the band Wintersun as a session drummer before joining them as a band member. On 6 August 2014, it was announced that Hahto will be playing drums on the forthcoming Nightwish album, replacing Jukka Nevalainen, who went on hiatus from the band due to insomnia, and Hahto performed on all live shows since that date. On July 15, 2019, Hahto became Nightwish's permanent drummer following Nevalainen's decision not to return to the band. This song is one of three great openings from them ("Dark Chest Of Wonders", "Shudder Before The Beautiful" and now "Music" intro followed by "Noise" ). Shudder before the Beautiful is referring to the amazement and wonder we (The Travelers) should all feel regarding the natural world. It is all around us including the solar system and universe, which we are all a part of while traveling amongst the stars on this small spec of blue. I agree with you. The vocals should be slightly louder in the mix from this show. The bass is just a bit to loud with dampens the overall sound a little. This was from the Nightwish 2015 record, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful". many of the songs from this record revolve around a theme of wonder and appreciation for the natural world all around us. Nightwish members are very much nature lovers and ponder deeply about the universe, how it works, and our place within its grand workings. If you follow this setlist, the next song is my ultimate banger !!!!!! And long hugs to Bruno 😺 !!!! NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
I will defo follow the set list. Don't worry Bruno is being hugged so much. He's so extra needy and very vocal about it. Thank you for the context. Sorry for the late reply.
Kahvikuppi neuroosi=coffee cup neurose😅 Hands shake… Yes, drummer chanced. Jukka goes out and Kai plays now drums in Nightwish. Jukka Nevalainen and Kai Hahto are very good friends…
Helluva way to open a show! This is a fantastic concert. Maybe my favorite Nightwish set list at a single show. Mic sounds great. Kai Hahto was Jukka’s mentor and took over the kit in the 2014-15 timeframe, after chronic insomnia forced him into retirement. Jukka remained with the band in a business role. For an official Nightwish music video, maybe start with Noise from their most recent album. Enjoy the show! I’m here for it.
Good to know Jukka still works with Nightwish behind the scenes. Love your cat great having him onboard with us. Minor objectify of Floor is not a problem and wouldn't offend Floor look we all do it. As long as we keep it clean her legs yes but that's the limit lol. I could imagine you and Floor singing on stage like Simone in Epica. Have a great day.
I think Bruno is enjoying joining me for reactions. He knows he will get treats and cuddles on demand because I don’t want him meowing through the videos.
For me having fell down the rabbit hole the videos I’ve seen although better than most band’s cannot compare to the live performances I have seen Zeppelin Stones Sabbath most of the top bands of my time and these folks are just so much better than anything I’ve seen up till now my 2 cents thanks
Very cool song this one! And your cat is such a big baby 😂 On to the next one! 😉 Oh and for a music video, you could check out 'shoemaker'. Beautiful (epic even?) song with a very nice clip.
of course I like cat purrs, I have 2 myself, litter mates, brother and sister. Bubba is 16lbs and sis is 11lbs. he's laid back and she's bipolar, goes from being a sweetie to tearing up and down and howling at the ceiling, lol!
Yes the drummer is changed from Jukka Nevalainen to Kai Hahto from the band Wintersun. This is the great opener at Wembley Arena❤💥💯I recomment TIME (live rehearsels) from Wintersun with Kai Hahto
This is a song that still rises up my NW favorites ranks, just like Amaranth btw. I also find SBTB an awesome first song to introduce NW to non-metal colleagues and friends. And yes, Kai Hahto replaced Yukka at the beginning of the new NW album after Wacken '13, as his insomnia simply became too much of a problem. I do like the "battle" between Tuomas and Emppu, something you don't see done anymore during music concerts.
Hello you gorgeous lady, for some reason I haven't seen you react to this one yet... Now I have. How are you doing? Because if I remember correctly you dear and so beautiful cat passed away. I had that happen to my 21 year old Persian cat. Still miss him dearly, and even more so because movers lost the box where I had my family, and pet photos. So now I don't even have a picture to remember my "Puppet" by. That was his name he answered. He's official name was Puemont III something, but I just called him Puppet. And I got him when he was 7moths old, he had gone some shows that point too. But for me he was a home cat/pet.
I love Nightwish... I love "THE WARNING" also... 3 sister's from Mexico who absolutely rock.. This is the best live band I've seen in many years. Try one song and you'll be in love... THE WARNING Animosity or Disciple,or Revenant .LIVE AT TEATRO METROPOLITAN CDMX 2022... pro shot concert. Excellent sound and video... you will not be disappointed... 🤟🎶☮️
Well spotted. Jukka had to retire as he suffered from debilitating insomnia and he chose his friend and tutor Kai Hahto from Wintersun to replace him. Kai is amazing but without the extravagance.
Great reaction, thank you. Saw them first time 1998 or 1999 and still Lovin them 🔥🤘❤️🇫🇮 If you lookin’ New bands to react then check out Nemophila. They are all female band from Japan. IMO best band for years. So talented, so amazing musicians 🤘❤️ Songs to start with: Revive, Dissension and Life(live version, there is a background story for this one, please check that first).
Also how come and your clothes are without scratches from your cat? I don't own leather or fauxleather clothes but all my clothes have marks from my cat
It would be cool to actually be able to hear your videos without having to go full volume on my device 😉you have a new Mike but I can still hardly hear your video 🤷🏼♂️surely there's a way to turn it up from your end whilst recording?
Kai has been referred to as "The Human Metronome"... Everyone knows what "Father Time" looks like/refers to... For me...Kai is... "The Father OF Time"...🤘 Classy Does What Classy Do.. ...So Do You! (Ha!...rhymes)
The new drummer was needed because the original suffered from migraines and insomnia. If my calculations are correct the next video for Nightwish is “yours is an empty hope” this will be interesting! Btw what are you doing with songs you’ve already seen?
Yeah I wondered this myself, but then I also thought to myself live performances are always a bit different. With bands I have seen multiple times on one tour each night is always unique. Like the stage banter and the moves. So, I think I'll do them too.
Please, don't put yourself in a bad light! After all, I'm not the only one who likes to visit your channel again. There are good reasons for that, and I'm certainly not just talking about the music. 😉 Yes, they had to change the drummer. Jukka was suffering from some kind of insomnia for years, which at some point made it impossible for him to continue being active in the band. Jukka himself recommended Kai, who has a different style of playing, but still fits NW well. _____________________ _"We all may never know what it is to be ourselves"_ - from *Gacharic Spin* -「 Replica 」 🎶✨
(I had to think for a while on how to say this properly and english is not my native language) You were wrong on two points, so take this as constructive criticism : 1: in the most respectful way, you are quite stunning, even compared to Floor, no reason to want to be someone else :) 2: this cat purring and microphone work for me
You can be anything you want to be Dom! I don't mean to objectify you either. Yes, Jukka stepped aside due to his severe insomnia. Kai Hahto (a friend) has taken his place in Nightwish.
Yes the new drummer is Kai Hahto . Jukka stepped down in 2014 because he has been suffering from insomnia and recommended his very good friend and mentor Kai . Kai is now the permanent drummer and Jukka is still with the band in a management position .
I really hope that he’s feeling much better now. I don’t know what the prognosis for insomnia is however it seems like it was a nice easy transition.
And this is how a Nightwish concert opens, while Floor's voice is smooth and rich like creme. She's like the inside of a luxury vehicle, while the band, is the buff exterior, all Super Suped-up, giving us a pleasurable ride.
Also, I love your reactions to Nightwish. Keep it coming!
Great description!
You rock your own stage Metal Muse!
❤️🙏☺️
I love this opener. Marko is my favorite male vocalist. His solo stuff is amazing.
So good right?
@@themetalmuse Marco's solo stuff is certainly worth checking out. His phonebook contains the names of competent musicians eager to show their stuff and his voice can convey the feeling of the songs very well.

Especially when you know the context of the song being about the universe and space. It really adds a fun 80's space vibe. He does something similar in Stargazer which fits great with the song.
Ah that makes sense 😌
Im pretty sure Marko will impress you even more during this concert, did you know he was a lead singer before he even joined Nightwish..
He’s been amazing so far and I just did a reaction where he stunned me with the softer side of his voice.
That "hhhrrrrrrrhhhrhrhrrrrr" kittys eating sound always gets me xD My little kitty girl is so small so the sound isnt that loud but still lovely xD
He’s such a muncher. He’s also so vocal. He just chats away and has a unique array of meows depending on what he wants. The most effective is the “silent meow of hunger”. Look mumma I’m on the brink of collapse from you being 5 minutes late.
@@themetalmuse The reason why cats are absolutly BEST
@@Luca-games007 agree! 👍
So a video of you reading to him while he’s purring would essentially put me a coma…in a good way.
Awe thank you! His purr is so loud in person. He drools and makes biscuits when he's going full derp. Sometimes he mouths too but it isn't a bite, it's like he's giving little love nibbles.
Nothing better than this song to start a day! ❤
I hundred percent agree with you!
Yes. An absolutely epic opener to a Nightwish concert. Carol, my lovely wife, and I got to see them live at the historic Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on May 18, 2022. and the show was incredible. Thank you for this wonderful reaction to our beloved Nightwish.
So cool! I'd love to have seen that. Expect more Nightwish soon. Sorry for the delay in reply, I'll explain in my next video.
The beauty in here are overwhelming,,,
🥰🥰🥰
Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembley… one of the best concert openings I’ve ever seen.
Ladies and gentleman…start your engines. The show has begun.😀🤘
What a “blow your mind” way to start a show!
Absolutely kickass. Kai in Beast Mode …Everyone performing at the very highest level….as usual🤘
Couldn't agree more!
The more you watch and especially listen to Kai on drums you understand why Jukka chose Kai to replace him. Jukka was a show in himself, hot damn he was fun to watch, holy crap.

What an epic show opener! Right there with "Dark Chest of Wonders" from Wacken 2013, IMO.
Always great to see Bruno make an appearance! And yes, Floor is something special, but you're beautiful in your own right, so no need to compare yourself to her. 🤟
Always a treat when senior fluff shows up 😙 I feel honoured.
They certainly know how to open a show, don't they? This Wembley show is loaded with goodies. I'm glad you're having a chance to meet Kai. He's a wonderful, gifted drummer with maybe the most power and precise double-kicks anywhere. Thanks!
I am so excited to get into this. Sorry for the delay in response.

Thank you! 😊 he is a rather large cat 🐱
Thank you for your reactions to Nightwish Dom! Keep it going!!
PS: your cat still impress me A LOT!!

As always a very pleasant reaction, the volume could be a lot more up❤
Working on it 😋
The spoken section is voiced by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. you'll hear him again when you get to Weak Fantasy His works , as well as Darwin's , were inspirations for the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album, which this song from. The song opened the album, and is a great concert opener, and features the first keyboard/guitar duel in about 15 years , at the time.

Jukka called his friend , Kai Hahto from Wintersun, to take over. The EFMB album is the first recorded with Kai and Floor.

Thank you for the insightful comment! Much appreciated. Didn’t realise that was Dawkins.
A lot of people seem to like the old school keyboard/guitar duel (me included) - but there are definitely others who aren't too keen.
Floor does look amazing - you are 100% correct.🇬🇧🤘🤘

Cat's claws on lap = Shudder before the Beautiful
When he close my lap like this, I always think of the phrase “love hurts”. The paws of love with the claws of pain.
Wembley is legendary.
You chose well.
Thank you!
You don’t have to wish, you are just as beautiful!
And more important, a pleasant human being.

My favourite music videos are probably _Elan,_ _The_ _Islander,_ _Noise,_ the competition-winning "official fan video" for _The_ _Crow,_ _The_ _Owl_ _and_ _the_ _Dove,_ and _Amaranth._
Ah so you think on the night it was like he was having some fun with it? That's why I love live shows you get so many little goodies like that.
Dom, you are everything that we need. 🌹
🙏
Yes, Floor is amazing but you are incredible too Dom!
Wow, thank you!
I think Bruno could easily be a backing vocal with that smooth purring, also i can totally imagine him doing harmonies with Floor. 🤔🎶🎵👌🔥
He looks majestic enough to be Floor’s cat 🐱 a house lion for the Valkyrie Queen.
Other's have already mentioned Kai as drummer who came from the band Wintersun. Later when Marco left the band the bass from Wintersun, Jukka Koskinen came on board, to take Marco's place.
Ah ok that makes sense. Thank you.
I heard you say in the reaction from my walden that you like harder mudic Evergrey is a great metalband with amazing vocals,save us,midwinter calls and blindfolded are a great way to start
I’ll check them out for sure! 👍
Hey, this is an epic concert all by itself, so I'm glad you're tackling one of their most iconic performances. I'd also like to say that one of the very very few notes I'd give to Tuomas is to find a different sound on the keyboard for his solo. It doesn't stand out or cut through the mix and does sound like a rather random bit thrown in. But he is otherwise a genius, so I forgive him thiat one lol. Cheers!```
Thank you 😁
Cool, you've jumped back into the rabbit hole. Marco never has to worry if he'll overpower the lead singer with Floor - whatever he comes with, she can just go an octave or two above..
I think that they compliment each other beautifully
Its alright to fan girl Floor, our Valkerie Queen
First, the not so new drummer :
Kai Hahto is "The Human Metronome", or in my book Kai "The Machine Gun" Hahto ( is a Finnish musician and drummer).
Hahto was a member of the grindcore band Rotten Sound.
Hahto then recorded with the band Wintersun as a session drummer before joining them as a band member.
On 6 August 2014, it was announced that Hahto will be playing drums on the forthcoming Nightwish album, replacing Jukka Nevalainen, who went on hiatus from the band due to insomnia, and Hahto performed on all live shows since that date. On July 15, 2019, Hahto became Nightwish's permanent drummer following Nevalainen's decision not to return to the band.
This song is one of three great openings from them ("Dark Chest Of Wonders", "Shudder Before The Beautiful" and now "Music" intro followed by "Noise" ).
Shudder before the Beautiful is referring to the amazement and wonder we (The Travelers) should all feel regarding the natural world. It is all around us including the solar system and universe, which we are all a part of while traveling amongst the stars on this small spec of blue.
I agree with you. The vocals should be slightly louder in the mix from this show. The bass is just a bit to loud with dampens the overall sound a little.
This was from the Nightwish 2015 record, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful". many of the songs from this record revolve around a theme of wonder and appreciation for the natural world all around us. Nightwish members are very much nature lovers and ponder deeply about the universe, how it works, and our place within its grand workings.
If you follow this setlist, the next song is my ultimate banger !!!!!!
And long hugs to Bruno 😺 !!!!
NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
I will defo follow the set list. Don't worry Bruno is being hugged so much. He's so extra needy and very vocal about it. Thank you for the context. Sorry for the late reply.
Kahvikuppi neuroosi=coffee cup neurose😅
Hands shake…
Yes, drummer chanced. Jukka goes out and Kai plays now drums in Nightwish. Jukka Nevalainen and Kai Hahto are very good friends…
🙏
Helluva way to open a show! This is a fantastic concert. Maybe my favorite Nightwish set list at a single show. Mic sounds great. Kai Hahto was Jukka’s mentor and took over the kit in the 2014-15 timeframe, after chronic insomnia forced him into retirement. Jukka remained with the band in a business role. For an official Nightwish music video, maybe start with Noise from their most recent album. Enjoy the show! I’m here for it.
Perfect suggestion!
I concur
Bruno is awesome, beautifull cat.
Thank you. He was wonderful. 🥹
@@themetalmuse Was... Damn, I shouldn't write it, I didn't know. Sorry.
@@тапоктапок-х4е no it’s ok, lovely to hear.
Your cat is awesome. ❤ cat moms power!!
Thank you very much for your kind words about Bruno. ❤️ I like to think of myself is his cat mother, but I’m probably more of a Cat Butler.
Musey, I am reasonably certain you're the first reactioner ever to use the word "volte-face". Kudos.
LOL thank you 😁
Hallo Scotland. This is how we play music in Finland. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤
Hello there! ❤️🤘🥰
Good to know Jukka still works with Nightwish behind the scenes. Love your cat great having him onboard with us. Minor objectify of Floor is not a problem and wouldn't offend Floor look we all do it. As long as we keep it clean her legs yes but that's the limit lol. I could imagine you and Floor singing on stage like Simone in Epica. Have a great day.
I think Bruno is enjoying joining me for reactions. He knows he will get treats and cuddles on demand because I don’t want him meowing through the videos.
For me having fell down the rabbit hole the videos I’ve seen although better than most band’s cannot compare to the live performances I have seen Zeppelin Stones Sabbath most of the top bands of my time and these folks are just so much better than anything I’ve seen up till now my 2 cents thanks
👍👍👍
You should do 'Oktaf Kanis - Come On' thanks!
I’ll look into that
@@themetalmuse thankyouuu!!
Reaction Request: Oktaf Kanis - Come On, thanks! 🔥
Cool request! "Come On" is a banger 🙌🏻🔥
@@bluerythmrecords-2705 yeah thanks! 🔥

Marko won the European making of The Masked Singer. Listen to While Your Lips Are Still Red.
I’ll have to check that 🫶
Very cool song this one! And your cat is such a big baby 😂 On to the next one! 😉 Oh and for a music video, you could check out 'shoemaker'. Beautiful (epic even?) song with a very nice clip.
🙏🤘👍
He’s such a massive softie ❤️

Hello Italian Nightwish army is great to see you here!
of course I like cat purrs, I have 2 myself, litter mates, brother and sister. Bubba is 16lbs and sis is 11lbs. he's laid back and she's bipolar, goes from being a sweetie to tearing up and down and howling at the ceiling, lol!
Wow those are some big cats!
@@themetalmuse my big spoiled babies, lol!
Yes the drummer is changed from Jukka Nevalainen to Kai Hahto from the band Wintersun. This is the great opener at Wembley Arena❤💥💯I recomment TIME (live rehearsels) from Wintersun with Kai Hahto
🙏
This is a song that still rises up my NW favorites ranks, just like Amaranth btw. I also find SBTB an awesome first song to introduce NW to non-metal colleagues and friends.
And yes, Kai Hahto replaced Yukka at the beginning of the new NW album after Wacken '13, as his insomnia simply became too much of a problem.
I do like the "battle" between Tuomas and Emppu, something you don't see done anymore during music concerts.
Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me I really appreciate getting deeper insights into everything that’s going on with a Nightwish.
Hello you gorgeous lady, for some reason I haven't seen you react to this one yet...
Now I have.
How are you doing? Because if I remember correctly you dear and so beautiful cat passed away. I had that happen to my 21 year old Persian cat. Still miss him dearly, and even more so because movers lost the box where I had my family, and pet photos.
So now I don't even have a picture to remember my "Puppet" by. That was his name he answered. He's official name was Puemont III something, but I just called him Puppet. And I got him when he was 7moths old, he had gone some shows that point too. But for me he was a home cat/pet.
That’s awful they lost those pics. I’m a lot better now. Still hurting tho. 🙂
You heard marko belt beautifully during ever dream+
Yeah but this felt a little different, very unique to my untrained ears.
Marko is very nearly as versatile as Floor, and don't sell yourself short, you're rocking that leather girl 😃
I haven't seen the low cut ones lately,pity.
Thank you 🙏
I love Nightwish... I love "THE WARNING" also... 3 sister's from Mexico who absolutely rock.. This is the best live band I've seen in many years. Try one song and you'll be in love... THE WARNING Animosity or Disciple,or Revenant .LIVE AT TEATRO METROPOLITAN CDMX 2022... pro shot concert. Excellent sound and video... you will not be disappointed... 🤟🎶☮️
Thank you, I’ll check them out.
Tuomas is the Master of transitions
🫶🤘🤘👍
Hi Bruno!
oh Hi Bruno's Mom!
LOL I’m happy to just be “Bruno’s mom” 😌
Well spotted. Jukka had to retire as he suffered from debilitating insomnia and he chose his friend and tutor Kai Hahto from Wintersun to replace him. Kai is amazing but without the extravagance.
It seems like it was a smooth transition.
I have nothing smart or informative about this song (some people have already done that), but I just want to say that your cat is really beautiful. 👍
Thank you for your kind words about Bruno. I absolutely love him so much. He’s a beautiful boy with a beautiful soul.
Great reaction, thank you. Saw them first time 1998 or 1999 and still Lovin them 🔥🤘❤️🇫🇮 If you lookin’ New bands to react then check out Nemophila. They are all female band from Japan. IMO best band for years. So talented, so amazing musicians 🤘❤️ Songs to start with: Revive, Dissension and Life(live version, there is a background story for this one, please check that first).
I will check it out. Sorry for the lateness of my reply it may have taken me over two months, but I got there in the end. 🥰🥰
Nice reaction. Unfortunately the music volume was very low.
Sorry about that
I thought it was OK. A little low perhaps.
React to Come On from Oktaf Kanis, thanks!
Sooooooonnnnn
@@themetalmuse Great! Thanks!
Screen is bigger now! Lol.
Yep
Also how come and your clothes are without scratches from your cat? I don't own leather or fauxleather clothes but all my clothes have marks from my cat
Bruno is a soft pawed angel and he would never claw his mum’s latex😇
It would be cool to actually be able to hear your videos without having to go full volume on my device 😉you have a new Mike but I can still hardly hear your video 🤷🏼♂️surely there's a way to turn it up from your end whilst recording?
I think the problem has been resolved now please check out my more recent videos and let me know.
THAT'S NO CAT ,BUT AN TIGER.
I have to agree with you on that one!
Kai has been referred to as "The Human Metronome"...
Everyone knows what "Father Time" looks like/refers to...
For me...Kai is...
"The Father OF Time"...🤘
Classy Does What Classy Do..
...So Do You!
(Ha!...rhymes)
I've heard that reference years ago, but about Alex Holzwarth
That seems like a very good and very accurate description.
The keyboard bit is a keyboard lead guitar battle…… kinda.
Totally
The new drummer was needed because the original suffered from migraines and insomnia. If my calculations are correct the next video for Nightwish is “yours is an empty hope” this will be interesting! Btw what are you doing with songs you’ve already seen?
Yeah I wondered this myself, but then I also thought to myself live performances are always a bit different. With bands I have seen multiple times on one tour each night is always unique. Like the stage banter and the moves. So, I think I'll do them too.
@@themetalmuse cool. “Yours is an empty hope” from my understanding is the first song written specifically with Floor in mind.
👍👍😎😎🤘🤘
Please, don't put yourself in a bad light! After all, I'm not the only one who likes to visit your channel again. There are good reasons for that, and I'm certainly not just talking about the music. 😉
Yes, they had to change the drummer. Jukka was suffering from some kind of insomnia for years, which at some point made it impossible for him to continue being active in the band. Jukka himself recommended Kai, who has a different style of playing, but still fits NW well.

Where is audio vol????
It went on vacation around about the time I tried to fix my sound have no fear. I have a new microphone and everything seems to be resolved.

Helllo Mistress Dom. Unfortunately also the bass player. No more Marko
🥲
Yes..She is an cathedral of green.. belive me,I'm also like those legs..
👍🙏🤘
Please increase the volume.
I will
(I had to think for a while on how to say this properly and english is not my native language)
You were wrong on two points, so take this as constructive criticism :
1: in the most respectful way, you are quite stunning, even compared to Floor, no reason to want to be someone else :)
2: this cat purring and microphone work for me
LOL so you like the purring? He's so loud so I was worried he'd annoy people.
love your reaction but the output sound is not on max, try to fix it.
On it.
You can be anything you want to be Dom! I don't mean to objectify you either. Yes, Jukka stepped aside due to his severe insomnia. Kai Hahto (a friend) has taken his place in Nightwish.
😙😙😙
We all missing his flamboyant and passionate performances. Life goes on and we all wish him well.@@themetalmuse
