I have taught high school science for 40 years and retired this past May. The last 10 minutes of my last day my anatomy class (14 students) and I were going to put this video up on the big screen in my room and rock out. Well, ended up with about 100+ high school students in my room all jammin’ it!! What a rush and what an awesome way to cap off 40 years with students!! I’ll always remember those last 5 minutes and cherish them!!!!✌🏼😎❤️
"Well in that case we have one last whipping to do" God bless you Floor 🙏. Lots of cross references in Tuomas' lyrics. A great reaction to this phenomenal band as always Lilly Jane. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤️
"Nightwish Army is insane" Nightwish is not just a band or just good music. Nightwish is a lifestyle. To be happier, enjoying, more compassionate an intelligent than people think is possible. Enjoy the moments. In the end that's all we have.
As someone who grew up in the 80's and 90's I stopped actively listening to popular music. Nightwish brought back the joy and great experience of awesome music. Love them so much 😊 I would love to go to their concert just to meet the fans because they are a happy folk 😊
@jeffk1482 Not yet. I plan to for Halloween with my Mom who loves Nightwish too 😀 She had one their CD's way back with Tarja and all I knew was Phantom. She lost track of them. I rediscovered them last year through my first reaction video of a compilation reaction video of GSL. My Mom was so happy I found them and we both love Floor. ❤️
I'm a 70 year old recent recruit to the Nightwish Army, it's such a pleasure to hear music that's so life-affirming - and this one just makes me well up with tears of joy. If you want to hear some other bands that also give you a lift and re-affirm that good music is alive and kicking - check out The Warning - their song Evolve, the performance at the VMA,s - three unbelievably talented young women from Mexico who prove that Rock and Roll will indeed never die, but can grow and change and stay modern. And listen to Lovebites - a female metal band from Japan, who are just so good that words fail me, listen to any track at all, but Holy War is a good starter . . . Keep on finding the music that makes you smile!
We don't give a shit if tattoos are in or out. 😉 We're rockers, we're metalheads and we do what WE want. When Floor joined Nightwish 10 years ago, she didn't have tattoos. They have come with the years. As far as I know, they all have meaning. They're not there because it was or is fashionable. Floor, for example, has one behind each ear. A wolf and a dog. The dog stands for the home and the wolf for the stage. The tattoos remind her to keep balance between both worlds.
@@elm6944 Not at all. The point is that you don't care what others think about that. Hard to understand? This excludes defiant reactions at the level of a 13-year-old. You do what you want for yourself.
Hi Lilly Jane, so nice to see you back with Nightwish....When my wife and I went to the Nightwish concert in New York we were both 78, my wife was not a fan of Metal, but during and after she said this is the best concert I've ever been to, she also said Floor's voice was the best she has ever heard, and it is very hard to take your eyes off Floor while she is performing....Great reaction as always, Bob from New Jersey....
Hello again Lilly Jane. You are not loosing your noodle. Check out Marko at the 4:01 mark in your video when they are singing "Wake up Dead Boy" Marko points directly back at Tuomas. Question answered. As for Floor's tatoos, she did not have any at the Wacken Open Air 2013 festival. But when she became engaged and then married to Hannes Van Dahl (Sabaton drummer), she began getting the tattoos. Of course, Hannes is heavily tattooed. Yes, the Nightwish Army is one of the most welcoming and friendly you will ever encounter. Carol, my wife of 42 years, and I had the great pleasure of traveling from Phoenix to San Francisco to see them perform live at the historic Warfield Theatre on May 18, 2022. Even standing in the long line outside the theatre as we were waiting to be admitted, everyone was having such a great time. What an incredible experience and a wonderful show. Hmmm. The one Nightwish song that gets me so pumped up I could take on anything. I can't boil it down to one. So many of their songs and performances get my adrenaline flowing like crazy. This is certainly one of them as are, Dark Chest of Wonders, Bless the Child, Storytime, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Yours is an Empty Hope, Amaranth... and on and on and on.
whenever you hear "dead boy" or "ocean soul" in a lyric Tuomas is talking about himself.... notice here that when he said dead boy in this song Marco even pointed to Tuomas. Also, Floor had no tattoos in 2013 at the Wacken concert we all know so well.... then she met Hannes... the Owl on her shoulder is one of the best tatts I have ever seen.
You're right about the fans being a happy bunch. Everyone I met at the Minneapolis concert were super friendly. Also, I noticed when you stopped the video to comment about how the fans seem to be having so much fun, Tuomas and Floor were sharing a smile between them right at that moment, There were several instances in this video where band members were smiling and pointing out into the audience - and this is the last (or one of the last) song of the concert. What energy!! You can't fake that kind of happiness just for the show. They are genuinely enjoying themselves. Great review, as always!
You totally got the meaning of this song. Tuomas uses the metaphor Dead Boy in quite a few songs. it can refer to someone who has lost their innocence or zest for life. Emotionless, joyless, and stunted by the reality of life in all of its negativity and cruelty. This is one of my favorites LJ! It is very difficult to choose one song. Hope you are dong great!
Nightwish in my opinion is by far the best band both in studio and live ever! they are number 1 on mu bucket list for bands I need to see! One can never go wrong reacting to NIghtwish, they never disappoint. Might I also add there is no one like Floor in any genre on this planet! Tattoos if done nicely will never get old I have many myself and I regret none! Welcome to the Nightwish army, we truly are they happiest, and why not, with this kind of music to enjoy, it's hard not to be! Slaying the Dreamer
This song has one of my favourite lines of all time: “it’s hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead”. My mantra for life. If life throws you shit you can sit there and grumble about it or you can try to find a solution/make the best of it. About Floor's tattoos, well, She had tattoos before Nightwish (Ω symbol as an emblem for her second band Revamp, she has the symbol tattooed on her wrist)!!!! The owl and flower sleeve came after joining Nightwish. Plus, the Human :II: Nature tattoo on her leg. SO, my go too Nightwish song is usually Nightwish 😉. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
This one is definitely one of my go-to bangers to get in good mood by Nightwish. Equilbrium, Finntroll or Ensiferum are some others for that purpose :P
Great reaction for a great song!! 🤘🤘 Nightwish Is one of my favorites symphonic metal bands, i love the genre, i suggest you bands like: Haggard, Therion (pioneeers of the genre), MaYaN, Epica, Within Temptation, they are incredible bands, each one with great music, and amazing style. About tattoes i love It, i got some, it's art, Greets!! 🤘🤘
to your question at the end.. Storytime was only the second song I had heard, and the moment the guitars kicked in at the beginning I became an instant fan for life, I was all in from tht moment. I still get amped up listening to it some 4 years later.
One interesting fact about the album this song was on, called"Imaginaerum" is that it's a concept album, that is a companion piece to a movie that was written byTuomas, and the members of Nightwish all had cameos in it. Worth checking out! This was before Floor was in the band. She joined halfway into the tour that was supporting the album. also tattoos rule. Especially on women. Don't let the haters hate.
Awesome Lilly, pushing 100k! Here's to many more amazing Nightwish reactions. As always, much love from the NW army New York 🤗 P.S. If you want to check out one of their music videos, then I would suggest "Noise" 😁
I am a lot older than most on here (58), and I can remember a time during the 90's in the UK, when as an employer, the staff handbook to which I had to refer to, actively dissuaded all Managers from offering employmen to anyone who had a tattoo on display. I am talking about men in this instance, and tattoo's that were on the face or neck was an instant "NO". Ink on the arms was a diferent matter however, and as long as a cuff would cover the tattoo, we did have discretion. Times have changed of course, but it has informed my own opinion about tattoo's. Personally, on a woman I like a tattoo to be discrete, and only visible in a social setting. For me, as a rule of thumb, I prefer a tattoo that is only visible when a piece of clothing is removed. It is difficult to maintain this view when pop stars and sportsmen wear them so openly. I do think that it all depends on your career choice, but there is no right or wrong answer, merely individual opinion. Take care Lilly.
The whole band is amazing. If you want to hear what Floor can do outside of Nigthwish. I can recommend looking up her doing Phantom of the Opera or Euphoria.
One way to look at it is that the songs reference each other. "Wake up Dead Boy" --> Dead Boy's Poem which in itself references to "the garden" which is a reference to The Garden of Gethsemane Also in the same sentence "adventure land" --> Storytime When your trying to push those singles out, it for sure is smart to make them reference each other. Kind of an add in your song to promote the other song ;-) Another way of looking at is is to say that these are themes and that interest Tuomas and he developed his own "Tuomas-slang" when talking about those themes. Well known Tuomas-slang words are: The Child --> the band The Poet --> Tuomas (as a songwriter) Ocean Soul --> Tuomas Lonely Soul / Nemo --> Tuomas before he met his wife Dead Boy --> Tuomas as a(n innocent) child Siren --> irresistible draw to create music Death --> profound moment in time after which you will never be the same person as you were before. (the old Tuomas is no longer there, therefor he is dead) Now that you know this...read the lyrics of Ghost Love Score again and keep in your mind that it is on the first album Tuomas wrote after Tarja announced she would (eventually) leave the band. It gives a whole new meaning to the song.
I don't think there's a thing like "tattoos are not cool anymore", and they don't define a metalhead for example, Tuomas is very much a metalhead and he has none. When it comes with tattoos, is just a personal decision, some people like them, some don't, there's not such a thing as a tattoo "hype", as far as I know. Which NW song keeps me going? All of them, none in particular. Everything Tuomas writes melts my heart, warms my soul, and gives me the strength to continue going forward.
I don't have a single tattoo (my younger brother has many) but personally I think tattoos are cool af always, is not a "modern thing" or a "trend", its something that for many reasons (bad and good) has been part of mankind for thousands of years, so if someone wants to get one or many, go ahead and be happy with it
Tatts have never been something I’ve wanted for myself, but I certainly can appreciate and admire a good piece of art on someone else. I think if it means something to you, really expresses something about you, and is creative, then why not??? Who gives a sh-t about trendiness…
To answer your question about tattoos. I don’t think they’re going out of style, but they are getting more excepted into society as a normal thing and then for your second question about what song gets me amped up it’s definitely master passion, greed
And preferably Buenos Aries 2018 for I Want My Tears Back. Don't know why Nightwish never played For The Heart I Once Had live as there is an a cappella version by Anette which surprisingly good on UA-cam but a few years later.
"Dead Boy" is Tuomas' recurring theme in many Nightwish songs. It refers to the "End of innocence" (there was also a Nightwish documentary with this name) - that sincere and positive perception of the world around us in our childhood, which we gradually lose as adults and which is so important to try not to lose completely in ourselves. Tuomas sometimes refers in his songs to lines from the previous ones. For example, in the song "How's the Heart?" from their latest album there are lines: "We met where the cliff greets the sea Shared a story, took the leap Rose up rooted, hid a note You know where You've been there" which refer to the words from the song "Élan" from the penultimate album: "Come, surf the clouds Race the dark It feeds from the runs undone Meet me where the cliff greets the sea"
Imo as long as a tattoo has significant meaning to the person or is a beautiful(subjective) piece of art, it’s never a fad. Also a well placed, sized and flow of a tattoo can be like very attractive. Idk why but thigh tattoos on women just does sometimes for me👌🏼 I personally want more if I can afford it.
For me personally tattoos certainly aren't "out" I love them if they're well done/creative/have a good story behind them. It can express so much for the person wearing it while keeping it a secret to others and I love that.
I dont have any tatoos, I dont have anything against them, my GF have 4 of them. But for me, they should mean something, and I havent figured out what what I should get, so instead of just getting a random tatoo I have chosen not to get one. I dont know if I get some later on, but not for now. As for others I couldn't care less, just as I couldn't care less about how your hairstyre is, or if you have a beard or not, some Tattoos looks better than others IMO, but they are not on my so why would I care. Also I've been listening to Metal since the early 90's so I've been around people who have Tatoos for a very long time.
Such a debate these days about Tattoos. They can be addictive, some have a few, some meaningful, some just for fun, some are downright stupid or horrible or random?. Some people cover there whole body, some traditional or ceramonial, some part of their belief. I spent 20 years martial arts training plus had a passion for fantasy and Dragons so i got two on my chest each dragon represents an element one water one fire both facing in battle their flames forming the Yin and Yang shrouded in smoke. Dragons also represent wisdom because of there age and power because of there strength. That's my story on why i have Tatoos but everyone is different and yeah there probably to many people with Tatts perhaps it is a time for change i just imagine at a retirement home how many old people with saggy wrinkly ink hanging looking warped or deformed?. But it's about what you enjoy now and not everyone will live to that age anyway.
A coin always has 2 sides, you know one, Nightwish, the other side is Rhapsody (I recommend you recommend “Emerald Sword” or “Riding the winds of eternity) and there is also an edge, Operadyse - celestial sword. React 🙏
Came to your channel for Nightwish, watched your Johnny Cash reaction and one of the Metallica vids, thanks for the reactions. I have sub'd and liked. I will be looking at the rest of your videos as soon as possible. May I suggest another band for you to try, “The Warning” formed in 2013 by the Villarreal Vélez sisters. They are a great live band that has opened for Muse, Halestorm, Guns and Roses, and The Foo Fighters. Metallica invited them to cover Enter Sandman for their Blacklist album and made it the #1 song on the album. Any song from the Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022 concert would be a great start, I love Animosity and for an acoustic try Revenant. Thank you.
Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting. When they say "wake up dead boy" Marco points to Emppu, so Emppu tries to goose Marco with his guitar. Edit, try to get a tattoo, waiting lists are long, besides if you've already got them, who cares about cool?
Abt them tats.. Pre-Hannes Floor was untatted, liked her better that way. Trying to be cool or fashionable is about as banal as most of the stories you get treated to when tatted-ups explain the "symbolism" behind theirs. All personal pref oc and obviously tattoos are not my cup of 🍵 That said, and more importantly, there's also a lingering health issue associated w/ the inks used and their possible carcinogenicity. There's info citing a "small risk", and then there's recent studies that sound a bit more alarming, e.g. "New study finds that almost half of tattoo inks contain chemicals that can cause cancer". Too many ifs & buts, but to each their own oc. Enjoy the rest of your NW ride. My suggestion would be to check out "7 Days.." live at Wembley. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
I'm not against tatoos, but I feel everyone and their dog has them now. When things become normal its less interesting. And having no tatoos is now the 'different thing' Do what you want, I am not for it nor against it, but I do feel people get tatoos because its trendy to have them.
Nothing wrong with tats! If you tried to follow all the changes in what's the "in thing", you'd be buying a new wardrobe and a makeover and cosmetic surgery every week 😬 As for NW songs to get me amped up, I'd have to pick _Alpenglow,_ _Storytime,_ and this one. BTW, well done on picking up the lyrics first time! It took me many listens before I could do that. I think you would enjoy the _Imaginaerum_ movie, which puts a lot of these songs into the context of a story. However, if you have ever lost anyone to dementia, bring tissues...
I just got premium... why some youtube videos have premium transfer speed and some don't ? and by the way why it is not automatic I have to put it on separatly for every video thats just stupid...
Hey, if you what to hear some real kick-ass music performed by five talented musicians, you have to check out the excellent Japanese all-girl metal band, LoveBites. Pick any of their live videos and you'll love it.
Please please give Kingdom by Devin Townsend a go...I promise you won't regret it 🙏🙏 back me up people pleeease. I'd love to hear what Lilly thinks of it
Yeah about tattoos, they used to be a bit special but seems like majority of the youth have them so not really so special anymore :) Never had a thought of having one and never will I guess... waste of money. Not sure if I get any kicks looking at them in the mirror and I don't care what other people think about how I look or what I wear etc. so that bonus doesn't matter for me.
I wanted to get a comment on here after i heard you ask whether or not tattoos are a thing. Opinions aside, tattoos are never going away. The way i see it, your body is a canvas, put some damn art on it if your chose. Whoever said that aren't a thing anymore is a legitimate idiot. They'll always be a thing.
I have taught high school science for 40 years and retired this past May. The last 10 minutes of my last day my anatomy class (14 students) and I were going to put this video up on the big screen in my room and rock out. Well, ended up with about 100+ high school students in my room all jammin’ it!! What a rush and what an awesome way to cap off 40 years with students!! I’ll always remember those last 5 minutes and cherish them!!!!✌🏼😎❤️
Heck, I wish I had been there 🙏😊👍
"Well in that case we have one last whipping to do" God bless you Floor 🙏. Lots of cross references in Tuomas' lyrics. A great reaction to this phenomenal band as always Lilly Jane. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤️
Well thats a great way to have a last ride🤘🏼🔥

@@FromG2eminor I think you’ll REALLY enjoy the film! Tuomas is an artist’s artist…no two ways about it.
I'm a 70 year old recent recruit to the Nightwish Army, it's such a pleasure to hear music that's so life-affirming - and this one just makes me well up with tears of joy.
If you want to hear some other bands that also give you a lift and re-affirm that good music is alive and kicking - check out The Warning - their song Evolve, the performance at the VMA,s - three unbelievably talented young women from Mexico who prove that Rock and Roll will indeed never die, but can grow and change and stay modern.
And listen to Lovebites - a female metal band from Japan, who are just so good that words fail me, listen to any track at all, but Holy War is a good starter . . .
Keep on finding the music that makes you smile!
We don't give a shit if tattoos are in or out. 😉
We're rockers, we're metalheads and we do what WE want.
When Floor joined Nightwish 10 years ago, she didn't have tattoos. They have come with the years. As far as I know, they all have meaning. They're not there because it was or is fashionable. Floor, for example, has one behind each ear. A wolf and a dog. The dog stands for the home and the wolf for the stage. The tattoos remind her to keep balance between both worlds.

It's good to see young folks getting excited about older music.
I am a lot older than most on here (58), and I can remember a time during the 90's in the UK, when as an employer, the staff handbook to which I had to refer to, actively dissuaded all Managers from offering employmen to anyone who had a tattoo on display. I am talking about men in this instance, and tattoo's that were on the face or neck was an instant "NO". Ink on the arms was a diferent matter however, and as long as a cuff would cover the tattoo, we did have discretion. Times have changed of course, but it has informed my own opinion about tattoo's.

The whole band is amazing. If you want to hear what Floor can do outside of Nigthwish. I can recommend looking up her doing Phantom of the Opera or Euphoria.
One way to look at it is that the songs reference each other.
"Wake up Dead Boy" --> Dead Boy's Poem which in itself references to "the garden" which is a reference to The Garden of Gethsemane
Also in the same sentence "adventure land" --> Storytime
When your trying to push those singles out, it for sure is smart to make them reference each other. Kind of an add in your song to promote the other song ;-)
Another way of looking at is is to say that these are themes and that interest Tuomas and he developed his own "Tuomas-slang" when talking about those themes.
Well known Tuomas-slang words are:
The Child --> the band
The Poet --> Tuomas (as a songwriter)
Ocean Soul --> Tuomas
Lonely Soul / Nemo --> Tuomas before he met his wife
Dead Boy --> Tuomas as a(n innocent) child
Siren --> irresistible draw to create music
Death --> profound moment in time after which you will never be the same person as you were before. (the old Tuomas is no longer there, therefor he is dead)
Now that you know this...read the lyrics of Ghost Love Score again and keep in your mind that it is on the first album Tuomas wrote after Tarja announced she would (eventually) leave the band. It gives a whole new meaning to the song.
So many reactions to this, I thought you already did.
In the city where i live there is a very famous tattoo shop. They advertise more removal then setting these days.
Tattoos are FINE as long they mean something to you, a deep part of you! Love your reaction!!! ❤❤🤘🤘
I don't think there's a thing like "tattoos are not cool anymore", and they don't define a metalhead for example, Tuomas is very much a metalhead and he has none. When it comes with tattoos, is just a personal decision, some people like them, some don't, there's not such a thing as a tattoo "hype", as far as I know.
Which NW song keeps me going? All of them, none in particular. Everything Tuomas writes melts my heart, warms my soul, and gives me the strength to continue going forward.
I don't have a single tattoo (my younger brother has many) but personally I think tattoos are cool af always, is not a "modern thing" or a "trend", its something that for many reasons (bad and good) has been part of mankind for thousands of years, so if someone wants to get one or many, go ahead and be happy with it
I have to brag about being in your video. Only a few moments in the audience, but I'm there.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good one.
Pls Nightwish , The Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere live).
I would love to see your reaction to this. NG from Austria
Last Ride Of The Day is their ultimate show closer in my opinion, even more than TGSOE
Tatts have never been something I’ve wanted for myself, but I certainly can appreciate and admire a good piece of art on someone else. I think if it means something to you, really expresses something about you, and is creative, then why not??? Who gives a sh-t about trendiness…
Kai is a great drummer that could be in any band, but imho Jukka did give a different sound and soul to the songs.
Careless jugglers, snakecharmers by your trail
Magic of a moment, (abracadabra)
Well i dont think that tattoos are out.. but the ones that are without any tattoes are now more special and unique cause there are so few left 😉
😘
To answer your question about tattoos. I don’t think they’re going out of style, but they are getting more excepted into society as a normal thing and then for your second question about what song gets me amped up it’s definitely master passion, greed
Tattoo's are awesome. When Floor first came to sing with Nightwish she didn't the tattoo's.
Think my favorite Nighwish song is For The Heart I Once Had. But if u want an amped up song, live version of I Want My Tears Back
And preferably Buenos Aries 2018 for I Want My Tears Back. Don't know why Nightwish never played For The Heart I Once Had live as there is an a cappella version by Anette which surprisingly good on UA-cam but a few years later.
from Argentina live, to me even better than from Wacken 😊
@@marty6945 good to know
@@marty6945 That is Buenos Aires 2018.
@@clivematthews5296 Buenos Aires is in Argentina or not?😊
So, you need to listen to Floor and Henke Poort singing Phantom of the Opera on the Dutch TV-show Beste Zangers
Snowwhite+ Huntsman II/ Movie- Disney- Score!
You never did Epica? Why? NW and Epica are my Yin and Yan of Metal music. My favourite NW song - very difficult - maybe Dead Boy's Poem ❤😂
Awesome isn’t it?! 😊
"Dead Boy" is Tuomas' recurring theme in many Nightwish songs. It refers to the "End of innocence" (there was also a Nightwish documentary with this name) - that sincere and positive perception of the world around us in our childhood, which we gradually lose as adults and which is so important to try not to lose completely in ourselves.
Tuomas sometimes refers in his songs to lines from the previous ones. For example, in the song "How's the Heart?" from their latest album there are lines:
"We met where the cliff greets the sea
Shared a story, took the leap
Rose up rooted, hid a note
You know where
You've been there"
which refer to the words from the song "Élan" from the penultimate album:
"Come, surf the clouds
Race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea"
Imo as long as a tattoo has significant meaning to the person or is a beautiful(subjective) piece of art, it’s never a fad. Also a well placed, sized and flow of a tattoo can be like very attractive. Idk why but thigh tattoos on women just does sometimes for me👌🏼 I personally want more if I can afford it.
Growing up in Ohio you HAD to do that Cedar Point thing too... That place is amazing
Only got to experience cedar point twice. Both times were EPIC

Floor got Tattoos, after joining Nightwish. She joined Nightwish in 2013, and in your 'Ghost Love Score' reaction, you'll see she doesn't have any.
to me, having a tattoo is personal, and therefore whatever the masses are doing or thinking means- nothing.
Metal in general seems better live, even tho the videos are usually good also. Something about live rock and metal that has a particular energy
For me personally tattoos certainly aren't "out"
I love them if they're well done/creative/have a good story behind them. It can express so much for the person wearing it while keeping it a secret to others and I love that.
👍👍😍😍🤘🤘
fellow lifeforms... 😂🤣😂 good one...
I dont have any tatoos, I dont have anything against them, my GF have 4 of them. But for me, they should mean something, and I havent figured out what what I should get, so instead of just getting a random tatoo I have chosen not to get one. I dont know if I get some later on, but not for now.
As for others I couldn't care less, just as I couldn't care less about how your hairstyre is, or if you have a beard or not, some Tattoos looks better than others IMO, but they are not on my so why would I care. Also I've been listening to Metal since the early 90's so I've been around people who have Tatoos for a very long time.
Such a debate these days about Tattoos. They can be addictive, some have a few, some meaningful, some just for fun, some are downright stupid or horrible or random?. Some people cover there whole body, some traditional or ceramonial, some part of their belief. I spent 20 years martial arts training plus had a passion for fantasy and Dragons so i got two on my chest each dragon represents an element one water one fire both facing in battle their flames forming the Yin and Yang shrouded in smoke. Dragons also represent wisdom because of there age and power because of there strength. That's my story on why i have Tatoos but everyone is different and yeah there probably to many people with Tatts perhaps it is a time for change i just imagine at a retirement home how many old people with saggy wrinkly ink hanging looking warped or deformed?. But it's about what you enjoy now and not everyone will live to that age anyway.
FYI Nightwish live is a ton better than their studio ones imo
Dead Boy is Tuomas.
A coin always has 2 sides, you know one, Nightwish, the other side is Rhapsody (I recommend you recommend “Emerald Sword” or “Riding the winds of eternity) and there is also an edge, Operadyse - celestial sword. React 🙏
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘
Came to your channel for Nightwish, watched your Johnny Cash reaction and one of the Metallica vids, thanks for the reactions. I have sub'd and liked. I will be looking at the rest of your videos as soon as possible. May I suggest another band for you to try, “The Warning” formed in 2013 by the Villarreal Vélez sisters. They are a great live band that has opened for Muse, Halestorm, Guns and Roses, and The Foo Fighters. Metallica invited them to cover Enter Sandman for their Blacklist album and made it the #1 song on the album. Any song from the Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022 concert would be a great start, I love Animosity and for an acoustic try Revenant. Thank you.

When they say "wake up dead boy" Marco points to Emppu, so Emppu tries to goose Marco with his guitar.
Edit, try to get a tattoo, waiting lists are long, besides if you've already got them, who cares about cool?
🐇
Tat as you wish, cool if u enjoy them I 5hink
You can never have enough tattoo's.🤣
Abt them tats.. Pre-Hannes Floor was untatted, liked her better that way. Trying to be cool or fashionable is about as banal as most of the stories you get treated to when tatted-ups explain the "symbolism" behind theirs. All personal pref oc and obviously tattoos are not my cup of 🍵
That said, and more importantly, there's also a lingering health issue associated w/ the inks used and their possible carcinogenicity. There's info citing a "small risk", and then there's recent studies that sound a bit more alarming, e.g. "New study finds that almost half of tattoo inks contain chemicals that can cause cancer". Too many ifs & buts, but to each their own oc. Enjoy the rest of your NW ride. My suggestion would be to check out "7 Days.." live at Wembley. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
I'm not against tatoos, but I feel everyone and their dog has them now. When things become normal its less interesting. And having no tatoos is now the 'different thing' Do what you want, I am not for it nor against it, but I do feel people get tatoos because its trendy to have them.
Tats👍
Nothing wrong with tats! If you tried to follow all the changes in what's the "in thing", you'd be buying a new wardrobe and a makeover and cosmetic surgery every week 😬 As for NW songs to get me amped up, I'd have to pick _Alpenglow,_ _Storytime,_ and this one. BTW, well done on picking up the lyrics first time! It took me many listens before I could do that.
I think you would enjoy the _Imaginaerum_ movie, which puts a lot of these songs into the context of a story. However, if you have ever lost anyone to dementia, bring tissues...
I just got premium... why some youtube videos have premium transfer speed and some don't ?
and by the way why it is not automatic I have to put it on separatly for every video thats just stupid...
Love the reactions but you need to react to upchurch high ideas keep up the grate work
عالی
Hey, if you what to hear some real kick-ass music performed by five talented musicians, you have to check out the excellent Japanese all-girl metal band, LoveBites. Pick any of their live videos and you'll love it.
Please please give Kingdom by Devin Townsend a go...I promise you won't regret it 🙏🙏 back me up people pleeease. I'd love to hear what Lilly thinks of it
Tattoos are always in 😂
Tattoos will always be cool
Yeah about tattoos, they used to be a bit special but seems like majority of the youth have them so not really so special anymore :)
Never had a thought of having one and never will I guess... waste of money. Not sure if I get any kicks looking at them in the mirror and I don't care what other people think about how I look or what I wear etc. so that bonus doesn't matter for me.
Several NW songs refer to other songs.
I wanted to get a comment on here after i heard you ask whether or not tattoos are a thing. Opinions aside, tattoos are never going away. The way i see it, your body is a canvas, put some damn art on it if your chose. Whoever said that aren't a thing anymore is a legitimate idiot. They'll always be a thing.
