Floor is more than a singer. She's a storyteller, an entertainer, an enchantress, the perfect frontwoman. Her charisma, energy and stage presence are insane. And she's always smiling and having the time of her life, even in concerts where she was sick. Nightwish got the Golden Ticket when they asked her to join the band.
The bag pipe instrument Troy plays is called the “uilleann pipes”. Translated means “pipe of the elbow”. As you can see he doesn’t blow into it but rather forces air through it using his elbow. He’s really the secret weapon of the band. Just about plays every kind of instrument.
The beautiful thing with Floor is that she uses her hands, body and face and eyes with the lyrics in the song, you see that in many songs, Alpenglow, Vilja Lied, the music really goes through her body. And Nightwish music is theatrical so this is I think the best match in Nightwish today. Elan is one of my favorite songs, Tuomas just does so beautiful melodies out of a simple things.
Guys nobody cares whether you are technically perfect reactors or not. We come here for the genuine and loving vibe both between the two of you and that you radiate out to us viewers all over the world. Love you both!
Even though Jukka is the better bass player and fits perfectly into the band, I miss Marko as a person and singer so much. For me, he has left a big gap and I will need my time to process it.You two are something really special in the great mass You Tube and that's why I feel so comfortable with you.
Agree, he ist iconic und one of a kind. Jukka nice guy though und deserves all the respect he gets but Marko will be one of the people I look for in the eternal fields.
At last, someone who noticed how Floor uses her hands. She does it in every song. Small details but they show her interpretation. BTW, you two are quite mad! The bagpipe is the Irish bagpipe, called Uilleann Pipes (elbow pipes) because inflated by pumping with the elbow. Nightwish has been therapy for many of us. Sone of us have had quite severe clinical depression and have been helped through it by the magic of Nightwish - several others have said so in comments. Elan is a great song too and interesting to hear it without Marco's wonderful vocal harmonies. Troy does a good job but he doesn't have the colour or power of Marco. I miss Marco. Troy played as a guest for years before finally becoming permanent. Costumes by the same people who did the Buenos Aires concert outfit - Royal Black Couture in Austria, plus another designer I can't recall. I suspect post Freja, Floor grew in some places... I don't think the BA outfit would fit now lol 😆
For me, this show has already joined the ranks of the "Nightwish Big Ones" directly. Yes, it is in the afternoon. Yes, they were not the headliners. (But Nightwish themselves said thank you to the crowd that it felt like they were the headliners!) Yes, this is a streamed recording and not post-edited (And for that, the sound and picture is incredible!). But hell Hellfest, what a show! And the way Arteconcert acts in social media, they know exactly that they streamed something special here!
It was Epuuu's birthday that week and the night before they had a small party, so he arrived too late at the sondcecken by the morning (11.30 ) inside (''information') and a few hours later they had to play 'think he still had after-effects from the alcohol and in full sun he also had some practical problems keeping the guitar in the right tone.

First time I'm commenting.. but I have watched your journey with Nightwish from start. I'm getting back a wonderful, warm vibe from you two in every reaction. I enjoy hearing your experiences and positivity. Thank you🌸 and how did you like Floor doing a wolf sound almost in tribal Wolfman ?? 😁🤟
Don't know if you've seen the video on the making of Endless Forms Most Beautiful, but in it Tuomas explains that he didn't think Elan was good enough and wanted to drop it from the album. Marko and Troy convinced him it should be the first single.
You really need to check out Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER, Jukka and Kai playing there! Another musical masterpiece! Love your reactions, I'm a Nightwish fan too and I've seen them live many times here in Finland, they are always amazing live!
🤟🏼 You guys get a little goofy sometimes…. And it’s great! You guys are awesome, and we enjoy watching you. I’m glad it is bringing you joy. You desrve it. Troy is filling in on backup vocals but not anything that Marko took lead on. Floor is taking some of Marko’s parts on some songs. Those are Uillean pipes, Irish bagpipes, aka elbow pipes. Bellows are inflated and compressed under the arms. Those two songs were great. Oh, and it’s always okay to tear up after any Nightwish song. Next two please!
Yes, very emotional reaction. Yes we are a world wide family. With you in the center. This family is the biggest one❤️ Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
So enjoy sharing your Nightwish Journey with such a nice couple. Wonderful relationship and obvious love for one another, nothing else matters in this world. Been an obsessed NW fan for about 7 years, my wife passed 10 yrs ago, but I know she would have loved this band as much as I do, and would have loved sharing with her as you two do. And seeing your joy and enthusiasm, and emotional involvement brings us all joy as well. Cherish each and every moment, peace to you and your family.
Floor is an amazing singer, unmatched stage presence, and so charismatic. But after watching Floor's Story time videos on her youtube channel you can't help but love her even more. Such a wonderful person which then makes you enjoy her music and Nightwish music all the more. She really makes you have an emotional connection with her and the guys and I can see it on your face Suesue 😊
You are so genuine and honest - whenever you smile - your eyes are smiling even more. You are so into the songs and the music - you are letting Floor carry you away. You are the perfect reactors 👌🤘💖
Wow Kim!! Thank you so much for your kind words that means a lot to us and we’re so glad that you’re watching and yes we do love the music. We hope that everything we do is genuine and not for followers or anything else. But we are so glad that you’ve come along for the ride. Thank you again we both needed to hear that this morning.
It's funny how we Come these reactions and see same fans commenting there.. Feels like you see you'r friends there even though you don't even know them 😁 Just a thought, I already remember your face 😊
The way Floor moves and sings has always been mesmerizing. They sound amazing and are amazing. I've said before they are the gift to the world that never stops giving. You guys are awesome too, crazy but awesome. Looking forward to more Nightwish from you guys :D
PLEASE, Please if you interested in the drumming, check out a video of Kay when he's doing a warming up, demonstration. You be amazed by this fantastic drummer, he is probably the best technical drummer of the world ❤👍🏻🤘🏻🇳🇱
Can you imagine the joy that Tuomas must feel night after night seeing the reaction that the audience has to his genius compositions and songs, and of course the social media reactions like yourselves. After all the years of writing and performing his craft, at last he is receiving the adoration and critical acclaim that he so deserves, not forgetting the musicianship and pleasure that his bandmates radiate in every song.
As far as Voice, looks /presence, personality, performance , the WHOLE PACKAGE , Floor is the most captivating Front Person since Elvis .....this is just MY OPINION.
Always love to watch your videos, thnx for the genuine reactions! About your name ; Floor has a tattoo of a dog behind her ear and one of a wolf behind the other ear, dog for the “home Floor”, the wolf for the “stage Floor” so maybe “Wolves and dogs” is an idea?
Yep that is what I was going to suggest, Wolfs and Dogs, because of the tattoos from Floor and because your channel contains the Wolfman and your dogs. So I think that’s a great name for us your ‘family’. 🇳🇱🤘🫶💐🌹
She explained that in a documentary in Sing Meinen Song, a german TV show like Beste Zangers. It’s adocumentary about her life. I would like you to react to it. Here is the link with english subtitles. ua-cam.com/video/rHfAGhyOlHQ/v-deo.html
Wolfman wants a name for us Fam jam here. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe instead of calling us all the WolfPack, we could all be referred to as the - WolfDogPack - It would be most fitting. ❤
@@frank1963 It makes sense in more ways than one. By coincidence, Wolf, Sue, and the dogs are affiliated with Floor's tattoo's while being fans of hers. I love it. "Dueling Wolf-Dogs", like Floor duels between the two.
It's an absolute joy to be a part of your journey and your community - you're such a warm an genuine couple and you never fail to put a smile on my face, so thankyou so much guys 🤘
Love u guys your great, ive been a nightwish fan for many years, and their music has got me through many difficult times in my life. I love watching your reactions and the pleasure this band brings to you, its not just the amazing musicianship they something about them its like watching best friends playing music together and having so much fun. They all have this warmth about them and floor can even make the heavier songs bring u to tears, shes a real story teller x
You are so correct about her magical hands ✋ ✨. She is not only a voice sorceress but it also amazes me how different she looks in so many videos. If you take for example 'Beste Zangers ' she looks different in all the clips ( maybe it is just the hair) or if you take 'Let it go ' and compare it with 'Oblivion ' she looks a different Goddess 😇😇😇
It's hard not to say That the best thing about Floor is her voice. And with that being said, I think the most impressive thing about her is that everything she does serves a purpose....... She just has such a good feel feel about what to do and how to do it...... But she will never admit that as a matter of fact I remember seeing an interview with her a couple years back and she was kind of talking about all these things that she wants to improve upon......... Talk about being nitpicky lol
We need to see that Wolfman puppet gesture more often. This is a great concert, so glad to see you deciding to go through the list. Every song played is a gem
beauty and great reaction , The Nightwish family and The Nightwish army all Nightwish fans.. is beautiful we love the band, welcome guys...i love you reactions, i sorry dont speak Inglish but i love Nightwish.. Desde Colombia un abrazo todos somos la familia extensa de Nightwish.🤘♥️🇨🇴
Troy normally plays the Illean pipes or elbow pipes in translatio, an irish version of bagpipes, the bellows are pumped by the elbow instead of blowing into it. i'm presuming thats what hes playing in this concert.
You both are absolutely right. We don't know you and you don't know everyone of us, but you just spared a litle bit of your soul to us when you honestly reacted to our most liked songs... and THANK GOD you liked it, because I enjoy watching both of you and your four-legged family so much... it's an energy exchange that benefits both sides, and I am personally glad that you define yourselves as Nightwish Reactors. I'm following your reaction and I have to say, you are two of the most likable reactors I've seen. I hope you go on and on with Nightwish, because I'll be here to share my positive vibes with you and send good energy. Thank you!
You are so kind! I think we can take this Nightwish Journey for a long time to come, especially with all of the different seasons that the band has had and the many offshoots! Blessings to you! Suesue
Troy is playing the Uilleann(elbow) pipes where the bag is inflated by bellows underneath the right elbow while the bag is squeezed under the left arm. Very tricky instrument.
Your dynamics throughout the video seem to me like an old and well adjusted pair, I love it. Can't lie, in every reaction I look at SueSue's face, because there's so much more there than Wolfman's expression of some anticipation (sorry, no slight intended). Don't get me wrong, when Mr. Wolfman opens his mouth, he has something substantive to say. Reactions are partly here to enjoy the music together, and with people with an emotional connection, like we the viewers often feel. The other part is by professional singers or instrument players who provide a through analysis of a song.
Floor's handmovements are indeed elegance. By the way have you ever seen amount of the Toms of the drumset of the drummer from Iron Maiden ? And yes Nightwish brings joy and if you let them in their music it makes you young at heart (again), To talk about Iron Maiden again: "Hallowed Be Thy Name" live back in the day is an awesome performance.
I think Hell aerts is fantastic 'the energy and vocals etc' Floors windmol'drum and especially Kaiy 'but this band is special 'a nexs level. greetings Jan de Zwaan. Ps with some songs, as an adult man, I just get tears in my eyes from 'so fantastically beautiful💖💖🤘🤘ps We love you because you are a fantastic couple together and sincerely miss that there are many recognitions in it 'do the feelings Floor unleashes are inscrutable things that I have never had before with music 'think of the many reactions to see that many people do too 'that's why we love you so much. stay safe and pray you enjoy Nigthwisch together❤❤🤘🤘❤❤
🇬🇧 Norfolk with you guys ,let’s do this how stunning does floor look ? Kia had extra drums added and Troy is playing the Irish bagpipes Ulliaen pipes with his elbows pumping them , what a talented group . Tuomas: what instrument can you play Troy? Troy: yes !
Troy Donocley can play following Instruments: Uilleann pipes - which used in here. Tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone... And is also a punster, LOL In an interview he was asked "Is there something else you wish to learn to play (if anything)?" Troy:"Ice Hockey!!"
Jukka plays a 5 string bass I believe and Troy plays the uilleann pipes.theres always been 2 kick drums, but they added some Tom's for the song greatest show on earth.
I have react one time, because my English writing is bad. But l love you guys, and seen and looking forward to all your video's every day. We help each other 😉🤘 Much love from The Haque , Netherlands. 🤘♥️♥️♥️
I love Floor's energy here. She is so excited to be performing live again and really hated not being able to tour during the pandemic. Tuomas did sing some on their demos and I think their first album but he wasn't happy with his voice and hasn't been part of the vocal mix since but he does often sing along to himself in concert. I'll recommend again you guys checking out Jukka's and Kai's previous band WIntersun. Another Finnish band with amazing music, very complex and technical but also great storytelling and epic, quest like vibes. Time is my favorite.
Floor made a tiny, but very important change to the song: instead of singing "Man found gods" she sings "man found God". And you're exactly right on Floors movements and hands. She's a beast, but als pure grace. I was having a horrible day, feeling completely overwhelmed and here I am,watching you two with a smile on my face. This helps me as much as it helps you.
As a longtime NW fan, I totally agree. They're at the top of their game. She's right about Floor too. Noone uses all of their body like Floor! Tell Wolfman Troy plays the uilleann pipes. Bag of air under his arm.
I love your reactions, you're always fun to watch, you two and the dogs are such a nice combination, I'd certainly like to meet you in person, unfortunately that wouldn't be easy to happen, for the distance... Come visit Finland! I'll buy you a drink, at least, maybe a lot more. 😁🤘See the Nightwish exhibition & museum in their home town.
You guys have such terrific emotions and interactions with each other. Nightwish brings out such amazing feelings with their live performances and this was one of their best shows ever. You are so correct that Floor's stage performance is so purposeful, artful, and emphasizes that gorgeous voice. Everyone is having fun on the stage and it infects the crowd. Thank you for reacting to this concert and Nightwish in general.
Hi Wolfman, I think the mix of the registration of this Nightwish concert is superb, and that makes it easier to hear the various instruments. In some songs, the orchestra and choir are also much easier to hear than in other registrations such as Wacken or Buenos Aires. That adds a lot to enjoying the set and get the occasional tear in the eye.
Hey guys...this has been great, so far. Wolfman....that instrument Troy was playing IS a bagpipe. It's an Irish variant called Uilleann pipes. Anyway...good stuff. Idea for "family name"...SueSueSudio.
So sorry to hear about you're health issues as well as all of the loses you have both experienced over the last few years. I hope you have you're health issues under control for the time being. Wolfman, you will probably understand this next comment regarding some musical details of the bag pipes. The biggest differences between a standard Scottish bagpipe (standup) and the Uilleann pipe (Irish & seated) one that Troy plays are detailed below. The Scottish bagpipe was used historically as an instrument of war. Kind of like other cultures used a trumpet or horn of some type to send signals to their troops. This is why they tend to be very loud and shrill sounding to be able to carry over long distances. According to historical data, Scottish bagpipes were developed in the mountainous western highlands and the Scottish Highlands around the 15th century. The instrument has a high-pitched chant on which a low fixed scale of nine notes can be played and three large drones, all of which are attached to the bag held under the arm containing the air that is blown by the mouth through the blowpipe. The drones so attached are tuned to B-flat and play a sole bass and treble tone. The scale of the Scottish bagpipe runs from A to A, but is also inclusive of one note below the scale which is usually a G or a 7th. Traditionally, the instrument was used to play lengthier musical pieces. The drone is used primarily to allow the Scottish bagpipe to perform solo or with multiple bagpipes all tuned the same. The bag on this style of bagpipe is primarily used to create the drone note, while the blowing action allows for the melody to be created in concert with the fingering on the chanter. Also referred to as Irish Uilleann Pipes, the Irish Bagpipes are the most elaborate in the world. Instead of being blown by the mouth, the instrument is inflated by bellows. Most bagpipes can only play one chromatic octave but the Irish bagpipe can play more than two chromatic octaves. It is a relatively quiet instrument being equipped with the loudness of only two fiddles. The Irish Bagpipe comprises of three drones. Perhaps the most noteworthy characteristic of the instrument is its three or more oboes, shaped in the form of one octave, four to five harmony pipes with keys that are operated by the wrist which allows for several chords to be played in accompaniment. The bagpiper’s seated with one leg lowered to play the instrument. To sum it up, the major differences between Scottish and Irish bagpipes are as below: #1. Irish bagpipes can play with vowels while Scottish bagpipes are more congruent with consonant percussive sound. #2. Scottish bagpipes are most commonly played in groups while Irish bagpipes are played solo. #3. While Scottish bagpipes can only play one note and one octave, Irish pipes can play more than one type of scale.
Certainly a symbiotic relationship isn’t it? Glad you are deriving such pleasure from the reactions, I as a subscriber certainly enjoy you both. Cya next time.
Something about Elan resonates. Lol I see Herr Wolfman ist covering the warts, he must have clicked link. Bless. Ja, musikal theater ist probably another reason I gravitate to NW. So gut!! Has Herr Wolfman seen the Harp-Guitar yet? Not used mit NW but can be found on the interwebs. Be interesting to trace a NW family tree back to beginning and chart out all offshoots, side projects. My guess would be at top Metallica und Hans Zimmer.
Goodmorning! I always love your reactions! And your funny genuine way, love you! I love these songs too! ❤️ indeed they bring joy! I feel that Kai deserved some camera-time on Tribal😉. Edit: what about Wolfsue-pact 😀
The Wolfman has showed his claws 🤣. Fun fact, Elan was the first single and studio video with Floor in Nightwish, take a look on it, even if it's not for a reaction. Btw, as you're noticing more Jukka on bass, and Kai on drummer, I think you should react to their other band, Wintersun, check out Sons of Winter and Stars. Finnish bands are the real deal.
If you want to see some of Kai's drumming, his tech filmed some of the Pinkpop set from behind Kai, Kai posted it up on his Facebook. There are other drumcam footage and here is one of him playing a Wintersun track: Sons of Winter and Stars ua-cam.com/video/tbb8m3wNXbs/v-deo.html Edit to add, Kai is left handed, plays right handed lead and can swap back and forth from left and right leading.
Troy is playing the Uilleann pipes. They are Irish, also called elbow pipes. The right arm pumps the air into the bellows(I think) and the left arm forces the air to make the sound. In Elan, I have looked and during the chorus I swear I hear Marko. Not seeing Troy sing. Maybe they are using a backtrack?
Yes you're right, also, I can hear the bass better in the end part of GLS, better or not, not relevant ... they're both very good, but different ...!!!!
How bout this for a name--Music-Kins. Music brought all of us togetter as a Family , There for making us Kin. Anyway , Very good reactions as always. Praying for BOTH of yours Health and Happiness. Thank you.
You guys are funny. Floor's Wolf got out. I think I've wrote this before but I that you should react to The ⚠️ Warning. They are a Rock band. U watched this concert on UA-cam.
Deleted my message....💫 In retrospect, it was not the right time to write this down. Won't do it again🙏 But the music🎶 does influence me and I like to listen to it. Luckily we have the same taste, what music means 🦋 So that's fine. Thank you for bringing Music what I love 💕 Wish you both the very best!!! Sorry for my bad English 🥰 Kisses from me 🤍🙌😘
Just got done watching the final Nightwish song The Greatest Show on Earth. I implore you to *NOT* watch it until you’ve seen either the Tampere (my favorite) or Wembley version. I strongly suspect Nightwish had to cut into it to make their set time… the first 5 minutes (and 4 seconds) was cut out. The last 4 minutes was also cut (and replaced with a short Ad Astra outro). The best Tampere version - hi def, complete, with lyrics - is ua-cam.com/video/bl6lUfIMkGM/v-deo.html . Watch to the _very_ end.
I hate that so much of it had to be cut out Rob! We have reacted to that song but i will have to check out homepage playlist to see where it was - Wembley or Tampere? - thx, Suesue
@@SueSueandthewolfman Okay - I checked your playlist (I’d been doing searches on y’all and didn’t see it). Turns out I _had_ seen your reaction… and it _also_ cut out the last 4 minutes 😣 A very impactful 4 minutes at that. (Edit - looks like it cut off the end of my reply 😂) Given you’ve seen most of the Tampere version (minus the ending w/ *impactful* spoken text and beautiful fireworks - see link above), perhaps the Wembley version would be a good choice. Troy plays the bass w/ ebow rather than flute, and Richard Dawkins speaks at the end… ua-cam.com/video/qrMwxe2ya5E/v-deo.html
Floor is more than a singer. She's a storyteller, an entertainer, an enchantress, the perfect frontwoman. Her charisma, energy and stage presence are insane. And she's always smiling and having the time of her life, even in concerts where she was sick. Nightwish got the Golden Ticket when they asked her to join the band.
Yes, in my opinon, Floor is the female Freddie Mercury of Nightwish
Totally agree, bro 🤩🤩🤩
Love how the Wolfman got caught like a deer in those headlights! 😂🤘
Without wishing to sound too soppy, your joy is our joy!
Wow, thank you💚
Hello Suesue, you are so right. Nightwish really can be a therapy. Their Music helped me in dark times .
Hey Ralf! Blessings to you ! 💜💜💜 -Suesue

Nightwish has been therapy for many of us. Sone of us have had quite severe clinical depression and have been helped through it by the magic of Nightwish - several others have said so in comments.
Elan is a great song too and interesting to hear it without Marco's wonderful vocal harmonies.
Troy does a good job but he doesn't have the colour or power of Marco. I miss Marco.
Troy played as a guest for years before finally becoming permanent.
Costumes by the same people who did the Buenos Aires concert outfit - Royal Black Couture in Austria, plus another designer I can't recall.
I suspect post Freja, Floor grew in some places... I don't think the BA outfit would fit now lol 😆

We hope that everything we do is genuine and not for followers or anything else. But we are so glad that you’ve come along for the ride. Thank you again we both needed to hear that this morning.
It's funny how we Come these reactions and see same fans commenting there.. Feels like you see you'r friends there even though you don't even know them 😁 Just a thought, I already remember your face 😊
The way Floor moves and sings has always been mesmerizing. They sound amazing and are amazing. I've said before they are the gift to the world that never stops giving. You guys are awesome too, crazy but awesome. Looking forward to more Nightwish from you guys :D
PLEASE, Please if you interested in the drumming, check out a video of Kay when he's doing a warming up, demonstration. You be amazed by this fantastic drummer, he is probably the best technical drummer of the world ❤👍🏻🤘🏻🇳🇱
Can you imagine the joy that Tuomas must feel night after night seeing the reaction that the audience has to his genius compositions and songs, and of course the social media reactions like yourselves. After all the years of writing and performing his craft, at last he is receiving the adoration and critical acclaim that he so deserves, not forgetting the musicianship and pleasure that his bandmates radiate in every song.
As far as Voice, looks /presence, personality, performance , the WHOLE PACKAGE , Floor is the most captivating Front Person since Elvis .....this is just MY OPINION.
Always love to watch your videos, thnx for the genuine reactions! About your name ; Floor has a tattoo of a dog behind her ear and one of a wolf behind the other ear, dog for the “home Floor”, the wolf for the “stage Floor” so maybe “Wolves and dogs” is an idea?
Yep that is what I was going to suggest, Wolfs and Dogs, because of the tattoos from Floor and because your channel contains the Wolfman and your dogs. So I think that’s a great name for us your ‘family’. 🇳🇱🤘🫶💐🌹
She explained that in a documentary in Sing Meinen Song, a german TV show like Beste Zangers. It’s adocumentary about her life. I would like you to react to it. Here is the link with english subtitles. ua-cam.com/video/rHfAGhyOlHQ/v-deo.html
Wolfman wants a name for us Fam jam here. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe instead of calling us all the WolfPack, we could all be referred to as the - WolfDogPack - It would be most fitting. ❤
@@frank1963 It makes sense in more ways than one. By coincidence, Wolf, Sue, and the dogs are affiliated with Floor's tattoo's while being fans of hers. I love it. "Dueling Wolf-Dogs", like Floor duels between the two.
🥰 you are lovely to watch 😀 greetings from South France (Nimes) tonight I will watch Nightwish live again during the Festival du Nimes
Loved what you said about Jukka 🤘❤️
It's an absolute joy to be a part of your journey and your community - you're such a warm an genuine couple and you never fail to put a smile on my face, so thankyou so much guys 🤘
Tribal was impressive live 👌and Elan.. that song introduce me to nightwish 🤟 Great combo reaction ❤️
Thx so much!
Love u guys your great, ive been a nightwish fan for many years, and their music has got me through many difficult times in my life. I love watching your reactions and the pleasure this band brings to you, its not just the amazing musicianship they something about them its like watching best friends playing music together and having so much fun. They all have this warmth about them and floor can even make the heavier songs bring u to tears, shes a real story teller x
You are so correct about her magical hands ✋ ✨.
She is not only a voice sorceress but it also amazes me how different she looks in so many videos.
If you take for example 'Beste Zangers ' she looks different in all the clips ( maybe it is just the hair) or if you take 'Let it go ' and compare it with 'Oblivion ' she looks a different Goddess 😇😇😇
Amazing!
Love your reactions. And the interaction between you two is quite pleasant, catchy, and warm. Thank you to share these moments with us.
It's hard not to say That the best thing about Floor is her voice. And with that being said, I think the most impressive thing about her is that everything she does serves a purpose....... She just has such a good feel feel about what to do and how to do it...... But she will never admit that as a matter of fact I remember seeing an interview with her a couple years back and she was kind of talking about all these things that she wants to improve upon......... Talk about being nitpicky lol
Wow! Wants to better perfection ? Only Floor would have that determination!
It's your honesty and spontaneity that makes you guys special. Thank you!
We need to see that Wolfman puppet gesture more often.
This is a great concert, so glad to see you deciding to go through the list.
Every song played is a gem
beauty and great reaction , The Nightwish family and The Nightwish army all Nightwish fans.. is beautiful we love the band, welcome guys...i love you reactions, i sorry dont speak Inglish but i love Nightwish..
Desde Colombia un abrazo todos somos la familia extensa de Nightwish.🤘♥️🇨🇴
Greetings from Germany me and my family loves your reactions and don´t forget ´´don´t hurt anybody.
I think Kai has a foot pedal for tamborine, in addition to the double bass and hi-hat. Also he added some extra tom Tom's for this song.
Troy normally plays the Illean pipes or elbow pipes in translatio, an irish version of bagpipes, the bellows are pumped by the elbow instead of blowing into it. i'm presuming thats what hes playing in this concert.
I love you guys amazing reaction...kiss from Italy......and we love nightwish!!!
You both are absolutely right. We don't know you and you don't know everyone of us, but you just spared a litle bit of your soul to us when you honestly reacted to our most liked songs... and THANK GOD you liked it, because I enjoy watching both of you and your four-legged family so much... it's an energy exchange that benefits both sides, and I am personally glad that you define yourselves as Nightwish Reactors. I'm following your reaction and I have to say, you are two of the most likable reactors I've seen. I hope you go on and on with Nightwish, because I'll be here to share my positive vibes with you and send good energy. Thank you!
You are so kind! I think we can take this Nightwish Journey for a long time to come, especially with all of the different seasons that the band has had and the many offshoots! Blessings to you! Suesue
Troy is playing the Uilleann(elbow) pipes where the bag is inflated by bellows underneath the right elbow while the bag is squeezed under the left arm. Very tricky instrument.
it is a real pleasure to watch this concert again with you ☺️😍
Your dynamics throughout the video seem to me like an old and well adjusted pair, I love it. Can't lie, in every reaction I look at SueSue's face, because there's so much more there than Wolfman's expression of some anticipation (sorry, no slight intended). Don't get me wrong, when Mr. Wolfman opens his mouth, he has something substantive to say. Reactions are partly here to enjoy the music together, and with people with an emotional connection, like we the viewers often feel. The other part is by professional singers or instrument players who provide a through analysis of a song.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comments Matti! -Suesue
NW is an experience...a band above them all :)
Floor's handmovements are indeed elegance. By the way have you ever seen amount of the Toms of the drumset of the drummer from Iron Maiden ? And yes Nightwish brings joy and if you let them in their music it makes you young at heart (again), To talk about Iron Maiden again: "Hallowed Be Thy Name" live back in the day is an awesome performance.
Troy plays irish bagpipe, Uilleann pipes.
The collected ,is beautiful with this band, especially live,one of the best 🤘
Nice to see this reaction even several times ❤
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Hi Geert!!
Always love me some Tribal. I wouldn't mind it being 30 minutes longer though. Great reactions!
Tribal is one of my favorites from them by far. So powerful!🔥 And Élan is so so pretty and sweet 💖
I think Hell aerts is fantastic 'the energy and vocals etc' Floors windmol'drum and especially Kaiy 'but this band is special 'a nexs level. greetings Jan de Zwaan. Ps with some songs, as an adult man, I just get tears in my eyes from 'so fantastically beautiful💖💖🤘🤘ps We love you because you are a fantastic couple together and sincerely miss that there are many recognitions in it 'do the feelings Floor unleashes are inscrutable things that I have never had before with music 'think of the many reactions to see that many people do too 'that's why we love you so much. stay safe and pray you enjoy Nigthwisch together❤❤🤘🤘❤❤
🇬🇧 Norfolk with you guys ,let’s do this how stunning does floor look ?
Kia had extra drums added and Troy is playing the Irish bagpipes Ulliaen pipes with his elbows pumping them , what a talented group .
Tuomas: what instrument can you play Troy?
Troy: yes !
Love the family, and also love the 4 of you. How great to share NW all over the world. Sincerely, another family member all the way from Namibia.
Troy Donocley can play following Instruments: Uilleann pipes - which used in here. Tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone... And is also a punster, LOL
In an interview he was asked "Is there something else you wish to learn to play (if anything)?"
Troy:"Ice Hockey!!"
😅😅hihi
Just pre and genuine reactions. Well done guys. Not to many real reactors on UA-cam. This performance has turned me on totally tribal. Just awesome 🤩
Jukka plays a 5 string bass I believe and Troy plays the uilleann pipes.theres always been 2 kick drums, but they added some Tom's for the song greatest show on earth.
I have react one time, because my English writing is bad. But l love you guys, and seen and looking forward to all your video's every day. We help each other 😉🤘 Much love from The Haque , Netherlands. 🤘♥️♥️♥️
I love Floor's energy here. She is so excited to be performing live again and really hated not being able to tour during the pandemic. Tuomas did sing some on their demos and I think their first album but he wasn't happy with his voice and hasn't been part of the vocal mix since but he does often sing along to himself in concert. I'll recommend again you guys checking out Jukka's and Kai's previous band WIntersun. Another Finnish band with amazing music, very complex and technical but also great storytelling and epic, quest like vibes. Time is my favorite.
Just added it to the list !
It's like hanging with friends who have similar taste of music 😅
so glad you liked us and we like you too !! Be blessed, Suesue
Floor made a tiny, but very important change to the song: instead of singing "Man found gods" she sings "man found God".
And you're exactly right on Floors movements and hands.
She's a beast, but als pure grace.
I was having a horrible day, feeling completely overwhelmed and here I am,watching you two with a smile on my face.
This helps me as much as it helps you.
you sweet sweet one! I'm glad we cheered you up - you cheer us up! much love, Suesue
As a longtime NW fan, I totally agree. They're at the top of their game. She's right about Floor too. Noone uses all of their body like Floor! Tell Wolfman Troy plays the uilleann pipes. Bag of air under his arm.
I love your reactions, you're always fun to watch, you two and the dogs are such a nice combination, I'd certainly like to meet you in person, unfortunately that wouldn't be easy to happen, for the distance... Come visit Finland! I'll buy you a drink, at least, maybe a lot more. 😁🤘See the Nightwish exhibition & museum in their home town.
You guys have such terrific emotions and interactions with each other. Nightwish brings out such amazing feelings with their live performances and this was one of their best shows ever. You are so correct that Floor's stage performance is so purposeful, artful, and emphasizes that gorgeous voice. Everyone is having fun on the stage and it infects the crowd. Thank you for reacting to this concert and Nightwish in general.
Hi Wolfman, I think the mix of the registration of this Nightwish concert is superb, and that makes it easier to hear the various instruments. In some songs, the orchestra and choir are also much easier to hear than in other registrations such as Wacken or Buenos Aires. That adds a lot to enjoying the set and get the occasional tear in the eye.
Hehe people dance around it but indeed this is Floor's most ... eye catching ... outfit of the current rotation, in my book.
We agree ! 😂💜
I'm sure the Nightwish army loves you too.
Greetings from the Netherlands.🥰🤘👍
yep I think you're one of us now.
You are now a member of the largest army in the world.
Hey guys...this has been great, so far. Wolfman....that instrument Troy was playing IS a bagpipe. It's an Irish variant called Uilleann pipes. Anyway...good stuff. Idea for "family name"...SueSueSudio.
The goddess will PRETEND she didn't hear that last.comment...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
❤❤❤
God bless you guys. Greetings from Metal Raven,, Gouda, Netherlands
So sorry to hear about you're health issues as well as all of the loses you have both experienced over the last few years. I hope you have you're health issues under control for the time being.
Wolfman, you will probably understand this next comment regarding some musical details of the bag pipes. The biggest differences between a standard Scottish bagpipe (standup) and the Uilleann pipe (Irish & seated) one that Troy plays are detailed below.
The Scottish bagpipe was used historically as an instrument of war. Kind of like other cultures used a trumpet or horn of some type to send signals to their troops. This is why they tend to be very loud and shrill sounding to be able to carry over long distances.
According to historical data, Scottish bagpipes were developed in the mountainous western highlands and the Scottish Highlands around the 15th century. The instrument has a high-pitched chant on which a low fixed scale of nine notes can be played and three large drones, all of which are attached to the bag held under the arm containing the air that is blown by the mouth through the blowpipe.
The drones so attached are tuned to B-flat and play a sole bass and treble tone. The scale of the Scottish bagpipe runs from A to A, but is also inclusive of one note below the scale which is usually a G or a 7th. Traditionally, the instrument was used to play lengthier musical pieces.
The drone is used primarily to allow the Scottish bagpipe to perform solo or with multiple bagpipes all tuned the same. The bag on this style of bagpipe is primarily used to create the drone note, while the blowing action allows for the melody to be created in concert with the fingering on the chanter.
Also referred to as Irish Uilleann Pipes, the Irish Bagpipes are the most elaborate in the world. Instead of being blown by the mouth, the instrument is inflated by bellows.
Most bagpipes can only play one chromatic octave but the Irish bagpipe can play more than two chromatic octaves. It is a relatively quiet instrument being equipped with the loudness of only two fiddles.
The Irish Bagpipe comprises of three drones. Perhaps the most noteworthy characteristic of the instrument is its three or more oboes, shaped in the form of one octave, four to five harmony pipes with keys that are operated by the wrist which allows for several chords to be played in accompaniment. The bagpiper’s seated with one leg lowered to play the instrument.
To sum it up, the major differences between Scottish and Irish bagpipes are as below:
#1. Irish bagpipes can play with vowels while Scottish bagpipes are more congruent with consonant percussive sound.
#2. Scottish bagpipes are most commonly played in groups while Irish bagpipes are played solo.
#3. While Scottish bagpipes can only play one note and one octave, Irish pipes can play more than one type of scale.
You guys bring me joy too !! 😍
i love the fact that u guys love nightwish as much as me
well i hope the wolfman starts feeling better
Certainly a symbiotic relationship isn’t it? Glad you are deriving such pleasure from the reactions, I as a subscriber certainly enjoy you both. Cya next time.
You have become a part of my morning ritual like a cup of Joe. Thanks for sharing your reaction and joy for life!
Wow, thank you Rodney! Bless you - Suesue
Something about Elan resonates. Lol I see Herr Wolfman ist covering the warts, he must have clicked link. Bless. Ja, musikal theater ist probably another reason I gravitate to NW. So gut!! Has Herr Wolfman seen the Harp-Guitar yet? Not used mit NW but can be found on the interwebs. Be interesting to trace a NW family tree back to beginning and chart out all offshoots, side projects. My guess would be at top Metallica und Hans Zimmer.
Like more People have already mentioned..you are great to watch and listen to...🥰
The Instrument you refer to is called the Uilleann Pipes or simply the Irish Bagpipes.
Goodmorning! I always love your reactions! And your funny genuine way, love you! I love these songs too! ❤️ indeed they bring joy! I feel that Kai deserved some camera-time on Tribal😉.
Edit: what about Wolfsue-pact 😀
Love your reaction. Love the songs. Love you. Stay safe and healthy. 🇳🇱🤘🫶💐🌹
The Wolfman has showed his claws 🤣. Fun fact, Elan was the first single and studio video with Floor in Nightwish, take a look on it, even if it's not for a reaction. Btw, as you're noticing more Jukka on bass, and Kai on drummer, I think you should react to their other band, Wintersun, check out Sons of Winter and Stars. Finnish bands are the real deal.
The wolfpack might be a name you can use? 😉 thanks for the nice reaction greetz from the Netherlands ❤️🇳🇱🤟
Again a Great reaction from you 👏 🤘🇫🇮
If you want to see some of Kai's drumming, his tech filmed some of the Pinkpop set from behind Kai, Kai posted it up on his Facebook. There are other drumcam footage and here is one of him playing a Wintersun track: Sons of Winter and Stars ua-cam.com/video/tbb8m3wNXbs/v-deo.html
Edit to add, Kai is left handed, plays right handed lead and can swap back and forth from left and right leading.
Troy is playing the Uilleann pipes. They are Irish, also called elbow pipes. The right arm pumps the air into the bellows(I think) and the left arm forces the air to make the sound. In Elan, I have looked and during the chorus I swear I hear Marko. Not seeing Troy sing. Maybe they are using a backtrack?
Here is a link to a dedicated Wikipedia page : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes
Keep up the good vibe....greetings from Belguim ....
Thank you Peter 💚!
What Troy was playing are Irish......Uillean pipes
Yes you're right, also, I can hear the bass better in the end part of GLS, better or not, not relevant ... they're both very good, but different ...!!!!
She have become a mother 2017 .... Floor and Hannes recived Freja , ofcorse her attributes get bigger
I find the Pinkpop version of Tribal even better,the podium has a sort of catwalk where Floor shows here moves
Yes we reacted to it but UA-cam blocked it for copyright reasons - but it was great !!
great once again
Thanks
How bout this for a name--Music-Kins. Music brought all of us togetter as a Family , There for making us Kin. Anyway , Very good reactions as always.
Praying for BOTH of yours Health and Happiness. Thank you.
You guys are funny. Floor's Wolf got out. I think I've wrote this before but I that you should react to The ⚠️ Warning. They are a Rock band. U watched this concert on UA-cam.
Whatever’s family name you choose should probably include “pack”, as wolves and dogs families are packs.
Deleted my message....💫
In retrospect,
it was not the right time to write this down.
Won't do it
again🙏
But the music🎶 does influence me and I like to listen to it.
Luckily we have the same taste,
what music means 🦋
So that's fine.
Thank you for bringing
Music what
I love 💕
Wish you both the very best!!!
Sorry for my bad English 🥰
Kisses from me
🤍🙌😘
bless you sweet one! Suesue
Just got done watching the final Nightwish song The Greatest Show on Earth. I implore you to *NOT* watch it until you’ve seen either the Tampere (my favorite) or Wembley version. I strongly suspect Nightwish had to cut into it to make their set time… the first 5 minutes (and 4 seconds) was cut out. The last 4 minutes was also cut (and replaced with a short Ad Astra outro).
The best Tampere version - hi def, complete, with lyrics - is ua-cam.com/video/bl6lUfIMkGM/v-deo.html . Watch to the _very_ end.
I hate that so much of it had to be cut out Rob! We have reacted to that song but i will have to check out homepage playlist to see where it was - Wembley or Tampere? - thx, Suesue
@@SueSueandthewolfman Okay - I checked your playlist (I’d been doing searches on y’all and didn’t see it). Turns out I _had_ seen your reaction… and it _also_ cut out the last 4 minutes 😣 A very impactful 4 minutes at that. (Edit - looks like it cut off the end of my reply 😂)
Given you’ve seen most of the Tampere version (minus the ending w/ *impactful* spoken text and beautiful fireworks - see link above), perhaps the Wembley version would be a good choice. Troy plays the bass w/ ebow rather than flute, and Richard Dawkins speaks at the end… ua-cam.com/video/qrMwxe2ya5E/v-deo.html
Wolf clan sounds Celtic,❤️
