Hello JusJrdn [ @JusJrdn ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
EHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! VERY COOL to learn about the band, I like this genre name “symphonic metal” And thank you for dropping some knowledge for me to learn more about! That’s what I love about doing these! And thank you for your fandom and knowledge! I will definitly dive into some more nightwish!!! Woahhhhh 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@JusJrdn Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction! You have before you a real ocean of good music, of unique diversity, composed and performed by Nightwish in more than a quarter of a century of activity. I await with great curiosity your next reactions! All the best, from Romania!
We're talking about the most reacted performance and (officially) the most searched female metal artist in the world... Congratulations on your first Floorgasm, welcome!
It never gets old. I'm fortunate to have experienced Floor since her early days. Nothing gets to me really. I'm down to earth as you can get, but Floor just hits a note. Whether these kind of reactions are genuine or not... it's up for debate. I'm just enjoying the music and the reactions of true fans. In my experience Nightwish and Floor fans are just some of the most amazing people. This isn't just music. It's a way of life 🙌
During this concert, the stars in the universe aligned and brought together a Viking on bass, a Hobbit on guitar, a Pirate on drums, a Wizard on keyboard and a Valkyrie to sing. Nightwish at Wacken 2013 (dvd "Showtime, Storytime") is a concert like no other from front to end before 82,000 people.
@@roy19491 I know, reread my comment I said the original commenter forgot Troy and that while he wasn´t in this song this was the first time he was present as a full member.
There has never been a better vocalist in heavy metal than Floor was on this night! And shout out to Jukka on drums. His performance this night was just as magical as Floor's was !!!
Many people would consider Dio even better. But among currently performing ones, Floor is definitely one of the best in anyone's books. I think Simone Simons, Tommy Karevik and Yannis Papadopoulos could take the top position depending on weighting of properties.
@MikkoRantalainen nice little list. I'd also say Tatiana Shmayluk and Melissa Bonny to cover those that do both harsh/growl/gutterals and clean vocals at a world class level.
I'm so happy for you discovering this band...the tightest, most proficient, musically gifted and unique band you'll find. The only problems associated with watching a lot of their live performances are addiction and a lot of other music being ruined in comparison.
Fil of Wings of Pegasus did a whole analysis on a song Floor sang. Pure and no auto tune. Gifted and amazing. You should check out Sabaton. Incredible band. Floor and the drummer of Sabaton Hannes Van Dahl are married too.
Singers sing what they can, Floor Jansen sings what she wants ❤once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch radioshow ❤and It sound like a real song ❤her voice just touch your soul and grab your heart ❤she is one of a kind ❤our Valkyrie ❤she can sing like an angel and growl like a deamon ❤
@@JusJrdn Yesss please, more Nightwish. love your smile at the start…can’t wait. Adventure? a battle you mean😂 New sub, you’v earned it fair and square! .
Nightwish Army Germany here .Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. Congratulation to your first Floorgasm. Great Singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants !
Welcome to the amazing world of Nightwish. This is a band that never stops suprising you. Masterclass musicians..and songwriting. And the best frontwoman for a band the world have ever seen. Great reaction. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
🖤FLOOR JANSEN 💪Valkyrie Queen🖤 🥇Most versatile singer. 🥇Best theatrical storyteller. 🥇Beautiful personal appearance on stage. 🥇Has the most contact with the crowd. 🥇 Really knows how to entertain the crowd. 🥇 Frontwoman with most years active with Nightwish. 🥇 More reliable than...🥈Tarja (fired) 🥉Anette (quits in the middle of tour). 🥇 Old Nightwish songs were adapted by putting more thought and creativity into them, making them even more magical, and Floor made these old songs her own.
That look though... That look of not knowing exactly what it is, but it is speaking to you loud and proud and directly to your soul. It is a wondrous thing and you pretty much fall in love right there and then.
Jus, you are so genuine and honest. Great from a Rapper. it is sometimes good to delve into lots of different music, it might change your music brain to listen to every different types of music as wow. Keep up your Great reactions, kind regards from Peaky Blinders Country, GB, England, BIRMINGHAM.
Army member Edm 🇨🇦 Div, welcome to the world of the cream of the crop of music. Music like no other. I had the same reaction see the exact video. As a lover of music especially rock/ metal and some pop this music has taped into a whole new sound that I’ve been missing. I urge you as a fellow 🇨🇦 you won’t be disappointed. This band is world huge except here in North America. The more they get watched and listened to, the more they are known to be the better band touring today. Forget Taylor Swift and those follow in her footsteps. This band can do it all. No radio in our bubble music scene will play this band’s music. They’ve got such diverse sound and have not one song that sounds the same. Trust me and dive in you won’t be disappointed 👍
Welcome to the magical world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked, and greetings from Finland! ☃️🤘
Congtrats for entering a new music world. Subscribed to be part of your Nightwish journey. Greetings from Germany 🫶🤘🔥 And yes, Nightwish has also 20 minute songs 🙌
It is not a movie score sir, it is just one of their endless list of the most stunning music, vocals and lyrics. The classical instruments is an actual very famous orchestra from London, the choir too. They can’t logistically not tour with a full symphony orchestra, who are also very busy. Thuomas, keys and piano writes the music out for the orchestra with the conductor. Looking forward for more, just follow our General Gabriel’s list❤ Greets from NW army division Netherlands
Scottish Division checking in.......as anothe song goes "you ain't seen nothing yet!"....hang in there and prepare to have your soul taken and emotions rattled.....seriously!
Nightwish Army Canada salutes you sir! General Gabriel has given you information to guide you on your journey, I have subscribed to follow you your trip down this rabbit hole. I will only add that this entire concert is on UA-cam and I believe this is song #13 of 15. Waiting for the next one
The album "Once" was released 21 years ago. The Wacken concert was 13 years ago. And people are still discovering Nightwish. Also, check the entire album. It has some major bangers
Thanks for sharing your reaction to this epic live performance by one of the best live (symphonic) metal bands in the world today. Prepare to be stormed by the global Nightwish army.
Nightwish Army US Division here. I found Nightwish about 15 years ago when I was listening to Within Temptation from Holland another symphonic metal band, I also highly recommend checking them out. They are to this day my favorite bands, no one here in the US come close. I see Gabriel sent you his list, hopefully you will do more reactions from them. Ghost Love is my favorite song, they preform this song at all their concerts, Tampere 2015 is my favorite performance of this song, Floor is so much better as she has been with the band for longer, I think Wacken was her 1st festival concert in 2013. She has a very successful solo career also and can sing any music genre, she even sang from a phonebook lol.
14:21 Both. They have a backing track, recorded by the London philharmonic no less. But the keyboard player - Tuomas Holopainen, the founder and musical genius of the band - also has keyboards loaded with orchestral samples.
Welcome to the Nightwish Train; symphonic Metal from Finland 🇫🇮; we “adopted” Floor Jansen (lead vocals) from the Netherlands! No getting off now simply ‘cause you do NOT WANT TO! IMHO, Nightwish w/ Floor is The G.O.A.T.
Nightwish Army Wisconsin chapter here. Welcome to the GREATEST band on the Planet led by the GREATEST vocalist on the Planet, our Valkerie Queen Floor Jansen. Enjoy your ride my friend! ❤
If you like Dreamtheater and Nightwish, check out Ayreon with the song “The day the world breaks down”. The composer is Arjan Lucassen who makes metal/prog/rock-operas. You will hear 11 main singers!!! You will know defenitly two singers!!! Have fun!
i came across this song about 3 years ago, and have now gone down the most spectaclar worm hole in what i believe the best singer and music in human history, i have also become aware of the unbelievable of their first singer Tarja, it is hard to believe that one band has supplied the world with such talent. i'm saddened that the incredible voice of Marco has left the band, the first time i heard his voice was in the song ever dream, and i had to replay it multiple times, i could not believe that a human could make such a mesmerizing sound, every song that they sing is world class. even the ones that are my least favourite are better than any other bands best.
I am pleased to welcome you to the wonderful world of Nightwish from the UK Oldies Division of Nightwish Army (East Anglian branch). As you delve deeper into their music (as I hope you will) you will find many diverse songs. Symphonic metal is the official genre, but you will find songs ranging from metal to ballads and even a jazz track. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you'll keep on watching and listening to Nightwish, especially their live recordings. I saw them live at Wembley in November 2022 and it was the most amazing unforgettable experience. To hear more from them and to get some more info on the band, I suggest you look at Gabriel's post and follow his list or pick and mix from it. I have followed Nightwish for some time now and the compositions and musicianship never fail to please. Looking forward to your next reaction.
Good reaction ... thanks. If you like Dream Theater (I like it too) you will definitely like Nightwish. The current singer Floor is one of the best rock singers at the moment and the whole band is full of very talented players. They make versatile music from heavy metal to ballads and their music also includes progressive elements. Especially their recent album is very progressive symphonic metal and it's awesome. 🤘
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! I've always said when people write off metal because they think it's all screaming and noise, they are depriving themselves from some of the most impressive and epic music on earth. Some of the most talented vocalists and musicians in the world are in metal and they're overlooked because of the stigma of the genre. There's some really amazing, beautiful music being made in our metal world. ❤🤘🖤
This is considered Symphonic Metal. Nightwish is the most well known band in this genre. General Gabriel has given you a fantastic list of songs to follow. They do play with backing tracks of the orchestra. Two other bands that you may want to look into, Epica and Ad Infinitum. Epica is a combination of symphonic, progressive and death metal sounds. A great song to start with would be Arcana Live at the Symphonic Synergy concert. Ad Infinitum is a more Europop metal with a fantastic singer, Melissa Bonny. Check out their music video for the song Surrender. You'll really enjoy it.
you can never fail with Nightwish and Floor. i listen to all of their songs many hundreds (thousand) times - and never geht bored. Tuomas (Keyboard) is the genius composer of most of their songs. you should also take a look to the stories they are telling. Outstanding. And the arrangements including big orchestras and choirs from UK.
This concert was a major stepping stone in the Nightwish development. Every song written for the two previous singers, Tarja Turunen operatic and Anette Olzon pop is performed to a higher level by this singer, 6ft tall Dutch singer, Floor Jansen to a crowd of 82,000. Greetings from the UK.
Nightwish fan and new subscriber here. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to Nightwish. They are an amazing band and I look forward to following you as you explore their music. As to what you should react to next you'll get many suggestions. Here are some ideas about how to proceed. Gabriel has already stopped by. Following his playlist is a great way to work through Nightwish's catalog of music. Another route you could take is choosing 1 concert and working through the set list in order. If you go the full concert route I'd start with Wacken 2013. You just reacted to the 13th song in a 15 song setlist. Playlist for full concerts can be found on the fan made channel called Nightwish Arena. Most Nightwish fans will agree that for reaction videos you should only use videos from, either Nightwish Arena, Nightwish's official UA-cam channel or The Nuclear Blast Records channel. The third route you could take is by going with what gets the most suggestions or what interest you based on comments. Whether you do it on camera or off about the only mistake you can make is not continuing to checkout Nightwish.
Nice reaction👍 and,nice bass you have over there ,a fretless "Ibanez Musician" ,fantastic basses. Nightwish is "branded" as symphonic metal but,this band is so much more ,it's not realy that important what you call it but, for me ,i would categorize them as EPIC.😉🤘
Glad you liked it 😉 (it is Symphonic-Metall) Try more, choose from General Gabriel's List ; they are all diff. so you had to check more Greetings from NW-Army-Germany and SabatonFan
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! Well, this is called Symphonic Metal !!! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. And the master of this magic is: Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. Take Gabriel's list as a guide to your journey. We are on Standby mode for now .... We hope, that there is more coming. NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA/PauFan🤘😎🤘.
When I saw rapper I almost didn't stop here. Love the full screen with you as an avatar in the corner and didn't interrupt. Welcome to your first Floorgasm and music from our very own Metal Mozart Tuomas on keyboards. Subscribed.
Great reaction! Thank you! I love that you loved this song as much as I do. It's mind blowingly good. The keyboard player of Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish (Tuomas) is the composer - he's classically trained. He writes songs with a lot of classical elements in them and different musical parts in order to take you on a journey. The backing track on this song was recorded by the London Philarmonic Orchestra with a choir for the choral voices in the background - especially noticed in the quiet 'mystical' section. Put together with the incredible musicianship of each band member and Floor Jansen's classically trained vocals it sounds simply stunning. Floor is the third singer they have had in the band - the first one was Tarja and the second was Anette. They parted company with the other two singers for various reasons and Floor was unexpectedly invited to join them after the previous singer got sick and was hospitalised mid tour. Floor had to learn the entire set in 48 hrs and she did it. The Wacken concert you saw here was the following year I think, so she was used to the songs by then. Floor had her own metal band prior to joining Nightwish, but had it had split up some time before. Floor is 6ft tall, physically imposing, has an incredible voice and a kind of primal power on stage. They call her the Queen of the Valkyries. There's lots more Nightwish to listen to and every song is different. EverDream, The Poet and the Pendulum, Storytime and The Greatest Show on Earth are some of my suggestions. Enjoy!!
The rabbit hole has been opened! Gabriel has been here! Welcome to the journey that is Nightwish. 10:16 Emmpu and Marco were ready for it.... not sure you were. Texas checking in.
Everybody talks about the stuff on stage, but you shouldn't forget how great it is standing at Wacken in the front row and singing with 80.000 other people. JusJrdn, please come to Wacken in 2025, you will not regret it! If you want to see more epic stuff: take Blind Guardian Bards Song at Wacken 2024. Greatest performance with a crowd ever!
Hello Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make Symphonic Metal. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestions. Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Hello ! Welcome into the magic realm of Nightwish, I'm glad you enjoyed the song 😁 From your left to your right, on stage: - Tuomas Holopainen, keyboards and composer, songwriter of the band - Marko Hietala, Bass player and singer - Background, Jukka Nevalainen, drummer - Floor Jansen, singer - Emppu Vuorinen, guitar - Backstage; Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’. Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’. Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’ Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see. Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 8 years next march) and Lucy (1 year this october),a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.
Nightwish Army Dutch Division calling in 🙂 If you want more treats, then check out more Nightwish. The music is amazing, the lyrics are pure poetry and every song is completely different. So if you think you know them, they've got another surprise in store for you. So if you like to broaden your horizon as todays request said, then just follow the list that Gabriel sent you and enjoy the ride!
Yes, a other soul is taken by our Dutch Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. There is a video with all the endings from 2012 till 2018 where Floor change the ending to a different part of the song ( if you watch the original with the first singer Tarja )
Welcome to Nightwish. if you want to listen to another group like them checkout Epica. I recommend Chasing the Dragon or Consign to Oblivion witch is one of their heaver songs.
You do fit right in 😊Welcome to Nightwish and much love from New York 🤗 The backing tracks are performed by the London Symphony Orchestra (yes, the one from sooo many movie soundtracks) and the London Metro Voices choir. Nothing but the best for Tuomas, the composer for this band.
Nightwish fan here from Australia these guys are legendary. Ghost Love Score is a timeless masterpiece. I hear Symphonic Metal is the Genre. Check out Last Ride of the Day is a good one that comes to mind but there are so many songs (nearly 30 years worth) that are just a work of art. Great reaction video thank you.
Nightwish Army is heeeeeeereeeeee! Welcome JusJrdn to the finest rabbit hole I have ever found. There is so much to explore. Looking forward to your next NW reaction already!
Nightwish plays symphonic metal. The guitar played from the get go of the vocal standing to the left of Floor. Tuomas, the keyboardist, is the composer, including the symphony (the London Philharmonic no less) and the choir, both of which are on a backing track from the album It's kind of hard on a 100+ date tour to haul a symphony orchestra and a full choir around with you!
Hello JusJrdn [ @JusJrdn ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.

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 "

he didnt have one, he was busy being funny and talking to much.
@Javesterman but he jaw droped like he lost all mucle to controle it that proof another type of Floorgasm
@Javesterman Floorgasm is a little early on 8:20 - but yeah, i guess sometimes you just can't hold it....
It never gets old. I'm fortunate to have experienced Floor since her early days. Nothing gets to me really. I'm down to earth as you can get, but Floor just hits a note. Whether these kind of reactions are genuine or not... it's up for debate. I'm just enjoying the music and the reactions of true fans. In my experience Nightwish and Floor fans are just some of the most amazing people. This isn't just music. It's a way of life 🙌
I've watched literally hundreds of reactions to this song. I'll never, ever get tired of people experience it for the first time
During this concert, the stars in the universe aligned and brought together a Viking on bass, a Hobbit on guitar, a Pirate on drums, a Wizard on keyboard and a Valkyrie to sing. Nightwish at Wacken 2013 (dvd "Showtime, Storytime") is a concert like no other from front to end before 82,000 people.

There has never been a better vocalist in heavy metal than Floor was on this night! And shout out to Jukka on drums. His performance this night was just as magical as Floor's was !!!
yes
Many people would consider Dio even better. But among currently performing ones, Floor is definitely one of the best in anyone's books. I think Simone Simons, Tommy Karevik and Yannis Papadopoulos could take the top position depending on weighting of properties.
@MikkoRantalainen nice little list. I'd also say Tatiana Shmayluk and Melissa Bonny to cover those that do both harsh/growl/gutterals and clean vocals at a world class level.
Give a listen to Noora Louhimo with Battle Beast - "Out Of Control": ua-cam.com/video/NNNrzJDUTpk/v-deo.html
Bear in mind that this is song #13 of 15 in this concert.
He's a rapper. He probably can't count to 13.😂
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 lmao
DAMN!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy for you discovering this band...the tightest, most proficient, musically gifted and unique band you'll find. The only problems associated with watching a lot of their live performances are addiction and a lot of other music being ruined in comparison.
DAMNNNNN REALLY!? I mean after watching this first one, I was pretty impressed!
I am excited to check out more of their work!!
@JusJrdn I'll enjoy following you as you find out exactly what I mean 😆
My thoughts also, I still watch at least one of their concerts every Saturday night
+++ This is the World of No Autotune!
Yeah cuz she's never sounded this perfect ever 😂
They propably tune the autotune uding Floor’s voice 😂
Fil of Wings of Pegasus did a whole analysis on a song Floor sang. Pure and no auto tune. Gifted and amazing. You should check out Sabaton. Incredible band. Floor and the drummer of Sabaton Hannes Van Dahl are married too.
@Friesian-q6u Lol! I am 58j! Been in Rock' Business for ~40years! I know them am All ; also privately.

🥇Has the most contact with the crowd.
🥇 Really knows how to entertain the crowd.
🥇 Frontwoman with most years active with Nightwish.

Congratulations with your first Floorgasm. Watching ppl experience that never gets old.
May there be many more 😊
Great reaction
Welcome to Nightwish ❤❤❤❤
Ehhhh thank you! It’s wonderful to be here hahaha 🫡
Army member Edm 🇨🇦 Div, welcome to the world of the cream of the crop of music. Music like no other. I had the same reaction see the exact video. As a lover of music especially rock/ metal and some pop this music has taped into a whole new sound that I’ve been missing. I urge you as a fellow 🇨🇦 you won’t be disappointed. This band is world huge except here in North America. The more they get watched and listened to, the more they are known to be the better band touring today. Forget Taylor Swift and those follow in her footsteps. This band can do it all. No radio in our bubble music scene will play this band’s music. They’ve got such diverse sound and have not one song that sounds the same. Trust me and dive in you won’t be disappointed 👍
Greetings from Finland, home of Nightwish ❤
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!
Great reaction
Greetings from 🇳🇱
Welcome to the magical world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked, and greetings from Finland! ☃️🤘
Congtrats for entering a new music world. Subscribed to be part of your Nightwish journey. Greetings from Germany 🫶🤘🔥 And yes, Nightwish has also 20 minute songs 🙌
Welcoming! from Austria/ not Australia!- "Bro..."
FLOORGASM! O yeah!
It is not a movie score sir, it is just one of their endless list of the most stunning music, vocals and lyrics.
The classical instruments is an actual very famous orchestra from London, the choir too. They can’t logistically not tour with a full symphony orchestra, who are also very busy.
Thuomas, keys and piano writes the music out for the orchestra with the conductor.
Looking forward for more, just follow our General Gabriel’s list❤

What a lovely warm reaction, man!!! Subbed immed...great journey! Love from The Netherlands...
Scottish Division checking in.......as anothe song goes "you ain't seen nothing yet!"....hang in there and prepare to have your soul taken and emotions rattled.....seriously!
Welcome to the NW army, it's always nice to have a new member in our fan community.
Buckle up buttercup! This rabbit hole goes DEEP!
Nightwish Army Canada salutes you sir! General Gabriel has given you information to guide you on your journey, I have subscribed to follow you your trip down this rabbit hole. I will only add that this entire concert is on UA-cam and I believe this is song #13 of 15. Waiting for the next one
Definitely check out more Nightwish awesome 😎😎
The album "Once" was released 21 years ago. The Wacken concert was 13 years ago. And people are still discovering Nightwish. Also, check the entire album. It has some major bangers
Thanks for sharing your reaction to this epic live performance by one of the best live (symphonic) metal bands in the world today. Prepare to be stormed by the global Nightwish army.
NWArmy here, welcome and enjoy your ride into this amazing band!!!🎶 Great reaction 👏. Greetings from Greece 😃🎵💯🤘
Nightwish Army US Division here. I found Nightwish about 15 years ago when I was listening to Within Temptation from Holland another symphonic metal band, I also highly recommend checking them out. They are to this day my favorite bands, no one here in the US come close. I see Gabriel sent you his list, hopefully you will do more reactions from them. Ghost Love is my favorite song, they preform this song at all their concerts, Tampere 2015 is my favorite performance of this song, Floor is so much better as she has been with the band for longer, I think Wacken was her 1st festival concert in 2013. She has a very successful solo career also and can sing any music genre, she even sang from a phonebook lol.
14:21 Both. They have a backing track, recorded by the London philharmonic no less. But the keyboard player - Tuomas Holopainen, the founder and musical genius of the band - also has keyboards loaded with orchestral samples.
Welcome to Nightwish! ❤
Greetings from Finland 🤘
Welcome to the Nightwish Train; symphonic Metal from Finland 🇫🇮; we “adopted” Floor Jansen (lead vocals) from the Netherlands! No getting off now simply ‘cause you do NOT WANT TO!
IMHO, Nightwish w/ Floor is The G.O.A.T.
Nice reaction man. Incoming Nightwish Army! I see General Gabriel already beat me here
Gen Gabe is a beast
Hello, great reaction, greetings from the Nightwish Army also from Poland
Nightwish Army Wisconsin chapter here. Welcome to the GREATEST band on the Planet led by the GREATEST vocalist on the Planet, our Valkerie Queen Floor Jansen. Enjoy your ride my friend! ❤
If you like Dreamtheater and Nightwish, check out Ayreon with the song “The day the world breaks down”. The composer is Arjan Lucassen who makes metal/prog/rock-operas. You will hear 11 main singers!!! You will know defenitly two singers!!! Have fun!
The studio version is a great start. The live version is amazing as well but has partially different singers.

Nightwish is pure symphonic metal!!!!
Very nice reaction.... Synphonic Metal is the ultimate genre... Damn, I love Nightwish!!
Awesome reaction😊. I hope you will do some more Nightwish reactions. Floor's range is insane!
Loved your reaction to Nightwish Floor is the Queen of metal
CONGRATS On your first intense multiple FLOORGASMS!!!!
Hahahah thank you thank you! What an experience it was 😂🔥🤯
i came across this song about 3 years ago, and have now gone down the most spectaclar worm hole in what i believe the best singer and music in human history, i have also become aware of the unbelievable of their first singer Tarja, it is hard to believe that one band has supplied the world with such talent. i'm saddened that the incredible voice of Marco has left the band, the first time i heard his voice was in the song ever dream, and i had to replay it multiple times, i could not believe that a human could make such a mesmerizing sound,
every song that they sing is world class. even the ones that are my least favourite are better than any other bands best.
I am pleased to welcome you to the wonderful world of Nightwish from the UK Oldies Division of Nightwish Army (East Anglian branch). As you delve deeper into their music (as I hope you will) you will find many diverse songs. Symphonic metal is the official genre, but you will find songs ranging from metal to ballads and even a jazz track. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you'll keep on watching and listening to Nightwish, especially their live recordings. I saw them live at Wembley in November 2022 and it was the most amazing unforgettable experience. To hear more from them and to get some more info on the band, I suggest you look at Gabriel's post and follow his list or pick and mix from it. I have followed Nightwish for some time now and the compositions and musicianship never fail to please. Looking forward to your next reaction.
12 years since this😮. But its the BEST EVER❤❤❤
There are reasons people love Metal!!
Good reaction ... thanks. If you like Dream Theater (I like it too) you will definitely like Nightwish. The current singer Floor is one of the best rock singers at the moment and the whole band is full of very talented players. They make versatile music from heavy metal to ballads and their music also includes progressive elements. Especially their recent album is very progressive symphonic metal and it's awesome. 🤘
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! I've always said when people write off metal because they think it's all screaming and noise, they are depriving themselves from some of the most impressive and epic music on earth. Some of the most talented vocalists and musicians in the world are in metal and they're overlooked because of the stigma of the genre. There's some really amazing, beautiful music being made in our metal world. ❤🤘🖤
You'll never leave Harlan alive.. patty loveless. Worth a listen
This is considered Symphonic Metal. Nightwish is the most well known band in this genre. General Gabriel has given you a fantastic list of songs to follow. They do play with backing tracks of the orchestra.
Two other bands that you may want to look into, Epica and Ad Infinitum. Epica is a combination of symphonic, progressive and death metal sounds. A great song to start with would be Arcana Live at the Symphonic Synergy concert.
Ad Infinitum is a more Europop metal with a fantastic singer, Melissa Bonny. Check out their music video for the song Surrender. You'll really enjoy it.
you can never fail with Nightwish and Floor. i listen to all of their songs many hundreds (thousand) times - and never geht bored. Tuomas (Keyboard) is the genius composer of most of their songs. you should also take a look to the stories they are telling. Outstanding. And the arrangements including big orchestras and choirs from UK.
This concert was a major stepping stone in the Nightwish development. Every song written for the two previous singers, Tarja Turunen operatic and Anette Olzon pop is performed to a higher level by this singer, 6ft tall Dutch singer, Floor Jansen to a crowd of 82,000. Greetings from the UK.
I recommend having the lyrics pulled up, or the captions on when possible. The poetry of their lyrics is next-level.
Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. You will be surprised many times. And the Nightwish army will be with you...
Nightwish fan and new subscriber here. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to Nightwish. They are an amazing band and I look forward to following you as you explore their music.
As to what you should react to next you'll get many suggestions. Here are some ideas about how to proceed.
Gabriel has already stopped by. Following his playlist is a great way to work through Nightwish's catalog of music.
Another route you could take is choosing 1 concert and working through the set list in order. If you go the full concert route I'd start with Wacken 2013. You just reacted to the 13th song in a 15 song setlist. Playlist for full concerts can be found on the fan made channel called Nightwish Arena. Most Nightwish fans will agree that for reaction videos you should only use videos from, either Nightwish Arena, Nightwish's official UA-cam channel or The Nuclear Blast Records channel.
The third route you could take is by going with what gets the most suggestions or what interest you based on comments. Whether you do it on camera or off about the only mistake you can make is not continuing to checkout Nightwish.
Nice reaction👍 and,nice bass you have over there ,a fretless "Ibanez Musician" ,fantastic basses. Nightwish is "branded" as symphonic metal but,this band is so much more ,it's not realy that important what you call it but, for me ,i would categorize them as EPIC.😉🤘
Glad you liked it 😉 (it is Symphonic-Metall)
Try more, choose from General Gabriel's List ; they are all diff. so you had to check more
Greetings from NW-Army-Germany and SabatonFan
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
Well, this is called Symphonic Metal !!!
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer.
And the master of this magic is:
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
Take Gabriel's list as a guide to your journey. We are on Standby mode for now ....
We hope, that there is more coming.
NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA/PauFan🤘😎🤘.
When I saw rapper I almost didn't stop here. Love the full screen with you as an avatar in the corner and didn't interrupt. Welcome to your first Floorgasm and music from our very own Metal Mozart Tuomas on keyboards. Subscribed.
Great reaction! Thank you! I love that you loved this song as much as I do. It's mind blowingly good.
The keyboard player of Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish (Tuomas) is the composer - he's classically trained. He writes songs with a lot of classical elements in them and different musical parts in order to take you on a journey. The backing track on this song was recorded by the London Philarmonic Orchestra with a choir for the choral voices in the background - especially noticed in the quiet 'mystical' section. Put together with the incredible musicianship of each band member and Floor Jansen's classically trained vocals it sounds simply stunning.
Floor is the third singer they have had in the band - the first one was Tarja and the second was Anette. They parted company with the other two singers for various reasons and Floor was unexpectedly invited to join them after the previous singer got sick and was hospitalised mid tour. Floor had to learn the entire set in 48 hrs and she did it. The Wacken concert you saw here was the following year I think, so she was used to the songs by then. Floor had her own metal band prior to joining Nightwish, but had it had split up some time before.
Floor is 6ft tall, physically imposing, has an incredible voice and a kind of primal power on stage. They call her the Queen of the Valkyries. There's lots more Nightwish to listen to and every song is different. EverDream, The Poet and the Pendulum, Storytime and The Greatest Show on Earth are some of my suggestions. Enjoy!!
Nightwish Army Germany calling. Welcome to the World of Nightwish and Floor Jansen 😊

Hello
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestions.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Love the faces you did listening the music. Shows how much you appreciated! LOL Awesome!
Youre Face and reaction on the end of the video 🤣 Kills me, Love to see that. Keep on going man !! Greetz from The Netherlands.......
Hello ! Welcome into the magic realm of Nightwish, I'm glad you enjoyed the song 😁
From your left to your right, on stage:
- Tuomas Holopainen, keyboards and composer, songwriter of the band
- Marko Hietala, Bass player and singer
- Background, Jukka Nevalainen, drummer
- Floor Jansen, singer
- Emppu Vuorinen, guitar
- Backstage; Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist
Nice reaction from you🤘 They have many more good songs. Very nice to experience👌
But Floor Jansen, the singer, immediately won me over😘
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’.
Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera).
'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’.
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’
Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see.
Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish.
Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 8 years next march) and Lucy (1 year this october),a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.
Talented musicians with a diverse mix of songs for every emotion and each one is an amazing experience - Enjoy!
Nightwish Army Dutch Division calling in 🙂 If you want more treats, then check out more Nightwish. The music is amazing, the lyrics are pure poetry and every song is completely different. So if you think you know them, they've got another surprise in store for you. So if you like to broaden your horizon as todays request said, then just follow the list that Gabriel sent you and enjoy the ride!
Nightwish are their own genre
Hey my man, greetings from UK
That was a great reaction to my favourite band, thanks man
Yes, a other soul is taken by our Dutch Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. There is a video with all the endings from 2012 till 2018 where Floor change the ending to a different part of the song ( if you watch the original with the first singer Tarja )
Welcome to Nightwish. if you want to listen to another group like them checkout Epica. I recommend Chasing the Dragon or Consign to Oblivion witch is one of their heaver songs.
You do fit right in 😊Welcome to Nightwish and much love from New York 🤗
The backing tracks are performed by the London Symphony Orchestra (yes, the one from sooo many movie soundtracks) and the London Metro Voices choir. Nothing but the best for Tuomas, the composer for this band.
Nightwish fan here from Australia these guys are legendary. Ghost Love Score is a timeless masterpiece. I hear Symphonic Metal is the Genre. Check out Last Ride of the Day is a good one that comes to mind but there are so many songs (nearly 30 years worth) that are just a work of art. Great reaction video thank you.
Nightwish Army is heeeeeeereeeeee! Welcome JusJrdn to the finest rabbit hole I have ever found. There is so much to explore. Looking forward to your next NW reaction already!
Nightwish plays symphonic metal. The guitar played from the get go of the vocal standing to the left of Floor.
Tuomas, the keyboardist, is the composer, including the symphony (the London Philharmonic no less) and the choir, both of which are on a backing track from the album It's kind of hard on a 100+ date tour to haul a symphony orchestra and a full choir around with you!
