- Thank You for all the likes, subscribes, and comments from our first video! We recorded this video previous from your guy's suggestions and comments. We had a little trouble getting it up using ancient equipment, but we did it! We have been reading all your comments and are listening to your suggestions of what to watch and how to improve our channel for future videos. This reaction is from Night Wish's newest album "Human Nature." Romanticide reaction will be coming soon!
The soundtrack from our intro is called "Dark Strings Metal Rap Beat Instrumental #6" created by LostInScores. We do not own this soundtrack. All credit goes to LostInScores. / lostinscores
Interviewer: "So Floor Jansen, what musical styles can you sing?"
Floor: "Yes."
so no different
hahaha brilliant!
Floor : Hold my beer .
I do this all the time in the comments. It never gets old.
Tuomas is the main music and lyric composer. That includes all the classical orchestral pieces and choral pieces too. His ideas are then transcribed and arranged by Pip Williams for the orchestra and choir before it is recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. These recordings are also what Nightwish use for their live shows by employing backing tapes and click tracks. Some fans call Tuomas the Metal Mozart!
Metal Mozart. He is brilliant.
A lot of time and dedication well worth it!
Metal Sibelius 🇫🇮☝️
well done, Brian 🤘🏿
@@muzikphiles6589 try the Poet and Pendulum or Greatest Show on Earth
Loved how you said "This is a different singer". You'll be amazed at the many sides of Floor, in many different genres and even languages.
Yep, we found that out. Lol truly amazing!!!
Floor Jansen is a vocal kameleon. She can pull it all of. From opera from puccini. To metal and everything in between. Beste Zanger 2019 is a great example. What she can pull off ❤️🤘
Nightwish Army has arrived 🦉💜👑...Great jobguys 👌. So keep on rollin this Beautifull Nightwish Train dudes 🎵🎶🎻🙏🏼
Tuomas Holopainen, the keybord player, is the mastermind behind it all. I STRONGLY recomend that you watch every video with lyrics.. I get that their music is enough to give you chills for days, but the storytelling... thats about 90% of what Nightwish is.. every song a story.. Tuomas said it himself.. storytelling breed we are.. cheer for the reaction guys! And I love how you always bring Evanescence to the table🤣
Tarja was singer from 1996 to 2005. Annette Olzon from 2005 to 2012 and then the Metal Goddess Floor Jansen took over.
Thanks for the reaction. Yes, like you said about Floor, “She does it all”! And you haven’t heard her do her death metal growls or a lot of her other styles. She is the most versatile vocalist around. One of things I appreciate the most about her is her ability to emote - Floor hits you in the feels. If you want to explore more of her voice, there is a LOT to choose from, This new album is great to react to, otherwise, stick with the live stuff.
That is basically what I have been saying about The Poet and The Pendulum. She not only sings the lyrics, but she understands the story and puts the emotion into her singing.
Floor is Dutch and Troy is English. The rest Tuomas , Marco ,Emppu and Kai are Finnish.
Floor has great vocal control and pretty much changes her vocal register at will. She can go from vocal fry(basicly growling) up to a falsetto within the same song and her vocal range is that of a soprano. It's a shame she don't growl alot with Nightwish, It's more of a Revamp era Floor. The other singers in current Nightwish are Marko Hietala, plays bass when he don't sing, he usually represents the darker male vocals. Then we also have Troy Donockley, who plays woodwinds, Ulieann pipes and a myriad of other instruments, he sings alot on this album aswell and leads the chorus in this song. Troy has a lighter vocal tone, so it's not really hard to figure out which male who leads.
Floor however are the 3rd front woman of Nightwish, Tarja Turunen left the band 2005 and then got replaced with Anette Olzon in 2007. Floor Joined in 2012 mid tour due to a fallout between the band and Anette.
Floor is actually from the Netherlands and speaks Dutch :)
Tarja is Finnish like the majority of the band and Anette (the 2nd singer) is Swedish. Floor currently lives in Sweden, though, with her Swedish husband (who happens to be the drummer of Sabaton, another fantastic band) and their daughter Freya. The male vocalist in the song you just heard is Troy Donockley, an Englishman who does vocals, plays pipes, flutes, whistles and guitars.
The person who whispers the Shakespeare quote is Johanna Kurkela, another Finnish singer and Nightwish's keyboards player and main songwriter Tuomas Holopainen's wife.
If you're gonna do Tarja, I suggest Nightwish - The Phantom Of the Opera from their 2005 End of an Era DVD. (She was actually fired right after that show, but not because of her performance lol )
Thanks for all this information about the song. We actually thought the guy singing with her was marcus at the time. Thanks for clearing that up and thank you for the suggestions!
@@muzikphiles6589 basicaly in this album for the first time Tuomas ecided make use of his third vocalist ... Troy. So Floor does lea vocals in all songs except one by Marko and one by Troy and chorus in all songs has harmonies from all 3 of them
@@muzikphiles6589 Marco
Great reaction. There's also a documentary on how Floor ended up with the band. "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" that's on you tube. I just got turned onto Nightwish last year and now enjoy watching people discover them on youtube. Keep the reactions coming.
I must say people do make the mistakes of not recognizing Floor's voice on studio versions cuz live she is so much more powerful, but yes its her, she is so versatile, not one song sounds the same, and yes the end is her too :) Nightwish also has many layers to their music, if i were you i would check some more of the Wacken, Tampere, Wembley and Buenos Aires live concerts too as being newbees to this band and get to know them better, there is also a documentary about them making the previous album maybe nice to check out how they work or who they are in real life it are 26 little video's really a must see if want to know all about them of how they make the music making of new album ua-cam.com/play/PLu1C4mOTeJRhOdsiXMq2EqKUEXUMqa-_H.html and there is a documentary about how Floor came to the band called " Please learn the setlist in 48 hours " also a nice watch. Like your comments, and subbed to follow your Nightwish Journey
Hi! It's nice to see you in evry Nightwish reaction video, I'm and hardcore Nightwish fan like you. But at the same time it's sad to see that this album is not appreciated a lot.. the views number here on youtube are low..people seem not to be interested in real good music. I hope Nightwish the best but it's sad to see the this album is not receving attention and that the lirycs videos they released have not so many views.
I hope the sales will be good but from what I heard it's not going well
@@marcofrassini9172 I don't know where you heard that, cuz the album is on many places #1
@@nimwey7701 their views numbers on youtube are very low. Extremely low. After the release of the lyrics videos on 10th of April only Music and Shoemaker hit the 1 milion views...
Noise official video has only 4 milion views..numbers like that are very low for a band like nightwish. They used to have way better numbers in the past, Now even a band like Sabaton has better numbers. And that's crazy, cause NW deserves so much better, they deserve the best.
@@marcofrassini9172 i guess cuz people watch them trough the reactors
@@nimwey7701 the reaction videos for human nature also have low views numbers. Noise official video has 4 milion views...elan has 67!! Amaranth and Bye Bye beautiful have more than 100 Milions views. Even a band like sabaton is having better numbers than nightwish and that's unreal if you ask me.
Please react to the acoustic version of one of their new songs, "How's The Heart?". Only Floor and Troy singing. Also, if you want to see her going back and forth with Marco, "Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean" from Buenos Aires 2018. Or any other song from Wacken 2013, they are al so so good.
Check out “yours is an empty hope” live at wembley next for the most insane contrast to this song
Thank you for suggesting Wembley. I find you can hear her in the chorus of that one much more than you can in the cruise.
Megan Grant I agree. That’s why I suggested that one. The cruise is great but I prefer to hear the growling more clearly.
Floor sings in this one. She also growls occasionally (!). Floor being Floor, she has mentioned she's not that good at growling, but most people beg to differ.
Best comment I heard “She does all”. Yes she does. Have a nice journey down the Nightwish rabbit hole. If you want to see something heavier try Romanticide live at Wacken 2013. 😄🤘
Floors the VALKYRIE...🤗☺️❤
Comparing Floor to other singers is not advised. It is like comparing a Rolls Royse to a Geo metro
It's ok we all know Nightwish is a live band first and foremost. There is nothing wrong with the album songs they are what become the live performances we love so much but they come to life on stage. They live for it and the interaction with the crowds just bring so much energy to the music that you miss with the album versions. A lot of us army are anxiously awaiting the live versions and Corona is really annoying us...
Hello again. Nice of you to check Nightwish again in your first day. Lorena Mckennıt is a great singer too, even she's not in the metal genre. I'll say Lisa Gerrard, the singer from Dead Can Dance, and Florence Welch, the singer from Florence and the Machine, can be also a reference here. The main composer of the band is the keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen. He compose the orchestral parts too - they collaborate with London Philharmonic Orchestra for recording all orchestral parts.
See you around :)
Thanks Gabriel for more band suggestions and being a part of the channel! 👍
Gabriel, I love your choices for comparison. Few people know "Dead Can Dance" although many know Florence and the Machine. Lorena McKennit is a truly amazing voice that also few know. Have you listened to Heilung and their amazing vocalist Maria Franz?
@@leopendent3291
Thank you. I first heard Dead Can Dance by chance when I was a student 30 years ago. I have the "advantage" of the age :) I haven't heard about Heilung and Maria Franz yet, but I will look for it, thanks for the suggestion.
@@gabriel.bardac I too heard of them about that time. I guess I'm also of an age. Here is a link to Heilung singing the names of the Valkyries. ua-cam.com/video/Wpk_S-6TcS4/v-deo.html
Gabriel Bardac definitely earn bonus with the Lorena mckennitt reference
🙂 Tarja was with Nightwish from 1996 until they fired her in October of 2005. Annette became their second vocalist in 2007 until they fired her in September of 2012 and Floor has been with them since September 2012. I was at the Denver concert, in 2012, when Annette said she couldn't perform. After we voted YES to go on with the concert, Elize & Alissa of Kamelot sang for Nightwish, and did a kick ass job. You guys are really gonna enjoy the Nightwish ride.
Thank you for mentioning Loreena! Love her too!!!
A couple notes:
- a shout out to you on the comparison with Loreena McKennitt, who is almost the golden standard when it comes to traditional and folk-medieval inspired music. Yes, Floor can easily switch to that style when the music calls for it, as it more often does on the latter NIGHTWISH albums; although by comparison you had to hear that Floor's voice has a hard-to-conceal power in the lower end, so even when she goes for that moving melodic tone, you can distinguish from Loreena, who's voice is almost like a breakable crystal. What good fortune to have both those awesome singers!
- Today, NIGHTWISH is pretty much a global phenomenon, BUT they started out as a Finnish acoustic folk band, and return to that sound - and language - from time to time... You could listen to audio of Tarja performing "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" off their breakthrough "Once" album if you a ready to have hearts broken - you can ask the Finnish fans what the lyrics are, but I am positive they are about life and death, and the music alone communicates that. Another purely Finnish song would be "Eramaajarvi" of their very first album, pure folk from Lapland.
- And yes, as you will have figured out by now (I am a week late ;)) there is no Hans Zimmer in the band, and the leader, Tuomas, composes every note top to bottom - well, almost, but all orchestral parts for sure. Then he has his friend, orchestra teacher and conductor Pip Williams mix it and record it with - is it - London Philharmonic orchestra. They usually have preprogrammed orchestral stuff for the shows (and synchronized with pyros for outdoor concerts!), as it is hard to haul a whole orchestra around. :))
Anyway, have a good time investigating, there is a lot of mileage for you. Just imagine, there are like 5 to 10 other great Symphonic metal bands, plus a number of smaller ones, to branch out to (EPICA, THERION, EX LIBRIS, XANDRIA, EDENBRIDGE, WITHIN TEMPTATION, AMBERIAN DAWN, etc. Plus for a male baritone singer - FALCONER - a pretty special outfit, hard hitting metal but with a voice you would recognize in your sleep :p).
I see you got your questions answered. I am really enjoying your reactions and how you do them. I subbed. I am looking forward to more reactions. Especially Nightwish. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks Ann and glad to have you as a part of the channel! We enjoy exposing ourselves to new music and having others enjoy in our company, like all of you. NW is a great band and we look forward to hearing them more throughout the channel with you!!
@@muzikphiles6589 Thank you..... :-)
@@muzikphiles6589 Just so you know. Ann is one of the most highly respected Nightwish fans and to have her as a subscriber is an honor. All hail Ann!
Hi Ann, how do you like this new album?
@@TheJama64 Hello! I haven't seen you in a while. One reason I have not been on UA-cam as much as I used to. How have you been. I am hanging in there. I just get tired a lot.
I love the new album. Music, Shoemaker, and Endlessness are my favorites for now. I just got my album yesterday in the mail. I even pre ordered it. But it is here now. :-)
How do you like it? Thanks for reaching out.Take care and stay safe.
If you want to see just how versatile Floor is check out her videos where she appears for a season of the Dutch T.V. show Beste Zangers. One episode she sang Shallow from Lady Gaga. I think she out Gaga’ed Gaga. Toward the end of the season she sang the Nightwish version of Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort who sang as the Phantom for many years on the Dutch performance of that play. Both are amazing and I think you will enjoy it. Side comment. Floors husband is the drummer for the Swedish band Sabaton. I cannot recommend them enough. A good first song would be Bismarck.
Hello, it was a very good reaction from GLS, but I think you should have heard the songs from the shows before Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley Arena 2016, live Buenos Aires 2018. Choose the songs you want from all these. And then if you want to start with the new.
Greetings and take care
You should check out nightwish shudder before the beautiful wembley 2015 live, but also watch the rest of the wacken 2013 nightwish show, awesome thanks 😊
Thanks for the great reaction.
They certainly write all of the music (well, Tuomas the keyboard does) but they don't bring them along on tour (too complex and expensive). They record that stuff and then play it either as synth instruments or as a back track.
There's a little background in several layers about the meaning of the lyrics and the song in general that will help you understand just what it's all about.
This song was a tribute to the life of Eugene Shoemaker. Shoemaker was a geologist and well-known as being "the father of planetary science". You may have heard of his name before as one of the discoverers of the Shoemaker-Levy (Levy was his wife) comet that broke up and collided with Jupiter back in 1994. Anyway, Shoemaker worked for NASA for many years and was part of the Apollo program as an astronaut until his being diagnosed with Addison's disease, which grounded him. Later in his life, he said that the greatest disappointment of his life was that he never got to go bang his hammer on the moon. He was killed in a car accident in 1997 while in Australia researching a meteor crater there. In 1999 a special urn carrying his ashes was attached to the Lunar Prospector probe which mapped the moon and then (intentionally) crashed into a crater near the lunar south pole (which by the way was named after Shoemaker already), making him the only person to be buried on another celestial body. The urn was engraved with the Shakespeare quote from Romeo and Juliet in the video.
The "Laudato Si" and "Ad Astra" bits at the end were Latin, meaning "Praise be" and "To the stars". But there's a little more to it than just that.
"Laudato Si" is a phrase taken from St. Francis of Assissi's famous song "The Canticle of the Sun", in which he praises the air, water, fire, sun, planets, animals, etc. as being our brothers and sisters. Death as well. And the most notable line regarding this song was:
"Laudato si, mi Signore, per sora Luna e le stelle:
in celu l'ài formate clarite et pretiose et belle."
which means:
"Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars,
in heaven you formed them clear and precious and beautiful."
The term "Ad astra" is used in a variety of places in ancient Latin writings as well as in some modern contexts. Beyond its literal meaning, it implies the accomplishment of something that is practically impossible or very difficult. The first known usage is from Virgil in The Aneid, where he wrote "sic itur ad astra" or "thus one journeys to the stars" with the idea that it is how one accomplishes the impossible, and "opta ardua pennis astra sequi" or "desire to pursue the high (or hard to reach) stars on wings" when Aeneas taunts Turnus in combat. Another origin is Seneca the Younger, who wrote "non est ad astra mollis e terris via" or "there is no easy way from the earth to the stars".
After the disaster of Apollo 1 in which three astronauts were killed in a flash fire that destroyed their capsule on the launching pad, a memorial was erected with the phrase "ad astra per aspera" which means "to the stars through hardships".
The Nightwish folks are not religious, but they wanted to convey a sense of religious reverence for Shoemaker and the people like him who help us gain a scientific understanding of the world. This same attitude can be seen in spades in the Nightwish song "The Greatest Show on Earth" as well. This reverence for the natural world and for scientific understanding can also be seen clearly in Nightwish's "The Greatest Show on Earth" which includes some commentary by Richard Dawkins.
This is Nightwish 9th album and the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen writes and composes everything, you can say 95% Marko the base player and also singer has done a few songs. On this album Tuomas has composed everything on both cd's. They have a few songs in Finnish that the former singer Tarja sang and also Marko. Keep doing Nightwish... 🤘
I like You guys reactions. If you really wanna see her talent or the band's talent listen to Yours is an empty hope they will blow your mind on that 1. Shudder before the beautiful and slaying the dreamer also rock hard. Keep up the good work
Guy on left is what's up. ❤️❤️❤️
Greats reaction! Like boys..
Tuomas's wife is the one speaking that quote. This new album is everyone inthe band. Tuomas, Marko, Floor , Empuu and Troy. Troy is the one singing with Floor. Floor is Dutch the band is Finnish and she lives in Sweden with her husband who is Swedish and is in the band called Sabaton he is the drummer.
Wait till the live version of this drops it will be awesome, nightwish songs live are even better than the studio ones, and this is great.
Check out her duet with Marko singing Ave Maria
give him a slap for every mention of evanesense
Bro I feel that SC4 icon. Hundreds of hours well spent!
Tuomas (Keyboard) is the sing song writer,poet, Geni, and composer 95 % of Nightwhis music. (some help of London Symphonic orchestra)
The song culminates to an almost holy melody.
OH! And just for the record, Tarja and Floor have been good friends since 2008. 🤘💜🤘
They dropped Tarja in 2005. Anette was dropped in 2012. She was with band for about 6 or 7 years.
Then Floor came in, and so Nightwish was complete. I also like Tarja despite the diva she is.
Human nature is another master piece of the modern metal Beethoven called tuomas. He challenged every band member on this album. It's different yet still Nightwish. Listening to the album for 10 days now since it came out. Can't get enough of it ❤️🤘. My favorite song is How's the heart. Would be great if you guys can react to the acoustic version of this song. It's her and Troy
This song for me its so folk rock
Thank you for mentioning Loreena McKennit.
Floor also growls is some songs! 💕🤘
People react to nightwish. I like and subscribe!
if you want hear something different of Floor - try all the rendition on Beste Zangers show - starting with the cover of Lady Gaga - Shallow
Tuomas is in my humble opinion the Mozart of our time. Songs like Poet and the Pendulum or Greatest show on earth show it. This song will be a killer live. I can't wait them to go on tour. And Tribal wird probably one of the most played in the live list. The Nightwish Army is allready learning the Skeleton Dance 😅
Laudato Si Ad Astra = Praise Be To The Stars.
Glad that you did your research guys :)
You definitely should react to Nightish's old stuff as well, so you can see the difference.
I Personally think that Floor is the best (and best singer on the planet as well :D ) but Tarja and Anette both had something what made special too
Kudos for knowing who Loreena MacKennitt is. 🙂
Mixing symphony with rock started in 1968 with Moody Blues, then in 1969 Deep Purple. Symphonic metal is around way before Metallica to try this. If you want to hear true symphonic metal, you have to listen to Angra, Therion, Rhapsody of Fire, Kamelot, Delain, Within Temptation, Epica... the list is enormous.
Here is some information about a scientist named Eugene Merle Shoemaker who has been the inspiration for Tuomas to write this song:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Merle_Shoemaker
You should do "Hows the heart" from the new album.. Then do "Hows the heart" acoustic from Planet rock with Troy and Floor..You will see why then How Nightwish are the best band in the world with the best singers and musicians. Also Its not Marcus..Its Marco like Marco Polo.. Also do Beste Zengers with Floor Jansen She does almost every genre of music on the show..
Interesting you bring up Loreena Mckennitt. You'll find that Nightwish incorporates a lot of Celtic folk musical influence in their songs these days.
Green-Lyon and Lorena employs lots of British writers in her songs.
Just you to know. Everyone in Finland studies english at least six years, some more, depending education. Nice reaction🇫🇮
That is very interesting and nice to know about Finland!
this song is about Eugene Shoemaker its a fantastic tribute to him. look on the internet who he was and you will understand the images you see in this video. BTW Eugene Shoemaker is the only human who's asses are buried on the Moon. Maybe he is seeing the Earth from the position at the end of this video I don't know. But if it is than its a wonderful view. BTW, the spoken voice you hear is Tuomas Holopainen the keyboard players wife
"Ghost River " ..Nightwish.
You should watch the documentary Please learn the setlist in 48 hours. Its about Floor filling in for the previous simger where she had 48 hours to learn the set because nightwish was touring. Nightwish is a live band. One of the few bands that are actually better live. At least i think so. By the way Floor is dutch but lives in Sweden. She is married to the drummer of Sabaton who is from sweden. Should i say it again?... ah yes for the fun; Amy Lee can carry Floors suitcase when Nightwish goes on tour. If you want to see what floor can sing go the youtube Floor Jansen Beste zangers. Its a dutch tv show where she sings songs from different singers live. From opera to Shallow of Lady Gaga.
Yes, may sound different, but this is definetely Floor, she is from Netherlands.And she can sing everything flawless.From Phantom of the opera to metal.
Evanescence is Ford Fiesta/ Nightwish is Mercedes S-klasse! Stop comparing, pls! This band has an intelligent music for intelligent people like you! Best (night)wishes, dudes! I like you both!
Tuomos written🙋🏽♀️🇳🇱
🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 This a brand new one!!! And likely not to be played live according to Tuomas!! 😊🤘🤘
So, the gentleman singing on this with Floor is Troy. He's a multi instrumentalist and vocal contributor to the band as well. He's from England.
Oh and I've heard Floor sing in like 5 different languages btw!!! 😁🤘❤️🤘
You just stumbled onto the best female voice on the planet....
Dimmu Borgir has also been able fuse and create Symphonic Metal.
Thanks for the reaction
🙃Peace
Smyd Stab they miss mustis
doug marcus Yes and Vortex, that was very unfortunate. 👹🤟🏼
I love Loreena McKinnett. Nightwish is always better live because you will get more guitar up in the mix. On their recordings it is always difficult to mix due to all of the different orchestral sounds combined with the rock instruments. This song is basically and Ode to Eugene Shoemaker an American geologist and one of the founders of the field of planetary science. He co-discovered Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with his wife Carolyn S. Shoemaker and David H. Levy. This comet hit Jupiter in July 1994: the impact was televised around the world. Tuomas the keyboardist writes all of the orchestrated and choir parts as well as the music and lyrics. Eugene shoemaker had his ashes deposited on the moon and on the capsule containing his ashes was inscribed the quote from Shakespeare. Nightwish uses backing tracks for live performances due to the cost and problems involved with touring with a full orchestra. However, Tuomas wants one day to do a special show using the full orchestra live on stage. I bet Tuomas likes Loreena, because he does like celtic flavored music. You will hear some celtic stuff in their music and some pipes and traditional instruments here and there. See you on the next one.
The song is about this guy en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Merle_Shoemaker, the first and the only human having remains of him buried in the Moon. Also, the Shakespeare quote heard on the track is inscripted on his memorial shrine (on Earth).
argh, Floor is DUTCH. All big metal women are from Holland. Epica, Within temptation. And Scandinavian and Dutch metal bands love to work with symphonic orchestra's. They go VERY well together. Remember most musicians in these bands had a classical education as well.
All the music composed by Nightwish. 99% by Tuomas
Please react to “Jillian” by Within Temptation from live show BlackSymphony you will enjoy it! Greetings from Mexico!🙏🤘🏻
Greetings! Nice to have you! Welcome! Also, thanks for your suggestion
Nice reaction and spot on all you said. Do live reaction when you have 1000 sub. :) Floors husband is drummer in Sabaton, you gonna like Sabaton aslo, if not i give you your money back ;)
In Imaginaerum album orchestral parts were played by The Looking Glass orchestra. Recording happened in Angel studios (London). Quite fitting, don´t you think? Rabbit hole just keeps on going. P.S If you really want to troll your brain, try to found out what :ll: means. Human :ll: Nature.
great reaction! consider that GLS it's one of their best, and it's difficult to reach the same level for all the other song. I suggest to start from the official lives to get to know the band before getting in the new stuff. anyway if you do some song with Tarja, keep in mind that the two singers are very different and they sound different, but both are amazing in their own way. So there's no need to go too deep in the comparison. Still you will have a preference, and probably will be Floor since she has a more "modern" approach. for the next reaction everything from Wacken 13 or Buones Aires 18 is good. For Tarja there's the End of an era dvd (highlights Slaying the Dreamer or The Siren).
Thanks for your advice and suggestions marlion!
Again, great job!! New sub here.
But, I am a little concerned that new reactors won't get the depth of what is Nightwish when they react to Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Human :||: Nature and Poet and The Pendulum. I think it is better to go through the older stuff to get a better grasp of NW and the genius that is Tuomas. And the versatility of NW. Just imagine that a reactor goes from "I want my tears back" to the depth of Music, Noise, Shoemaker or TGSoE. The difference is huge and yet it isn't for NW fans, because we as (for some longlife) fans are mostly expecting the versatility and I think that going through the older stuff would new reactors appreciate and understand it more. You can't put just one label on NW.
While one reactor (with the checkered shirt, sorry I don't know your names yet) listens with eyes closed once Floor starts the classical part, the other reactor starts laughing. This is not an attack or hateful comment, I think it just was a little overwhelming. And I don't blame you at all. It just is....
Please check out studio albums like Once, Century Child, Oceanborn with Tarja and Dark Passion Play, Imaginaerium with Annette.
I love their voices on the studio recordings but I am not that keen on their live performances. Some of Tarja lives are great, Annette's voice is not suited for live. But that is my and only my opinion.
Keep on rocking... with NW!!!
Appreciate your comments and attention to detail. We are learning very quickly that NW is not something that can ever be fully explored in the scope of one video. I understand what your saying about starting from the beginning and listening from there. Like stepping into hot or cold water. One toe at a time. I like that we started NW Wednesdays. I personally would like to take these videos further into discussions of NW in the future. Though discussions involve other people, I am looking into ideas on how something can come together like that. I appreciate your insight. Many of our subscribers like you, are amazing with your desire to hold our hands and guide us through NW. NW is a journey to be taken, and we intend to get the full experience correctly, and because of subscribers like you, we are on the right track. Thank you.
@@muzikphiles6589 Any time. Looking forward to that. Just enjoy the ride. It's a rollercoaster of feelings and emotions.
With Tarja I recommend "Dead to the World", "Kinslayer", "Phantom of the Opera" and many more. Nightwish was amazing with Tarja, but she chose her own path, focused on solo career.
And for more Floor awesomeness - Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley and The Greatest Show on Earth live in Tampere
Was it Tara's choice to move on or was it NW choice that she move on?
@@muzikphiles6589 Pretty much everyone was aware that it was heading in that direction after that tour, but it was Tuomas' call to do it publicly via an open letter, on stage, to Tarja's surprise as well, to avoid most speculations about what and why. Even the tour was called "End of an Era", so it was done in an artistic way.
It was a hard breakup for everyone, followed by a lot of ill blood, but you know, a lot of great music came out from the deep feelings following that.
"Poet and the Pendulum" is amazing way Tuomas found to cope with the depression. I'm sure you will be asked to do a reaction video on that one, particularly the live version at Wembley stadium from 2015.
You can read the letter here:
nightwish.fandom.com/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Tarja_Turunen
You can tell by how the letter is written, it wasn't easy for Toumas to do. A lot of emotions were expelled throughout the letter. He really did care for her and at the same time disappointed. This must have been very hard but it was definitely the right choice from what was stated about her. I'm glad he has such a love for the band that he was able to make such a sacrifice like that. In the end, it saved Nightwish. He mentioned how he would stop the band if Tarja left, but he didn't for the simple fact that he would have been quiting and leaving on a sour rotten note. He wouldn't want to do that to the band that he basically constructed and made. He states the same about Floor now, however instead of greed and fame, selfish needs, I see Nightwish ending one day but not the love everyone in the band has, for the band and each other, as it would have ended if they quit and left after Tarja. We really have gotten a lot of suggestions for Poet and the Pendulum and after reading that it is about this situation, I'm really interested to hear it. Thanks for providing us this information Vedran and thanks for being part of the channel. Be safe.

Funny how you compare FLOOR to others ....FLOOR STANDS ALONE !!
Hope you guys learn something from the other people. Floor is the ultimate Nordic Viking angel goddess soprano. This band is amazing. No one sings like floor.
Hi, Maybe this is off-topic but yesterday I made a comment on this channel and today that comment doesn't appear among the rest. Is it posible to erase the comments? My comment wasn't bad I've only suggested that the songs belonging to the new álbum should be done in order.
Hello M. Farah, sorry for the inconvenience but we haven't erased any comments from our channel. I wouldn't know why your past comment isn't showing. You definitely didn't say nothing offensive to have it blocked or anything so don't worry about it. Your good👍
Thank you for your answer. I want to apologize to you because I've just found my comment on another channel. My mistake, I got confused. A matter of fact, I didn't mean to imply you erased it. I thought there was something in my settings that didn't show it.You're doing good reactions. It's a pleasure for me to watch someone react to Nightwish with a fresh mind.Regards.
Thank You, glad u enjoy!
Just do multiple youtube searches for "brazilian wax" and they'll stop showing that manscaping ad
