#Nightwish #ThePoetAndThePendulum #Reaction
@Nightwish
In the end Emppu and Marco went upp to Tuomas and support him like a REEAL FRIENDS THEY ARE !!
Facts!
It is one song, just written in 5 parts lol keep killin the reactions bro 🤘🇨🇦
Thanks for being here
Tuomas (the keyboarder and songwriter) was in depression after the split from their first singer Tarja. He was in the position to either commit suicide in real real life or to write a song about it and die within that song. Luckily he choose the latter option. He is the poet, "killed" by the pendulum. And afterwards there is darkness, silence and just a fading heartbeat. It gives me a shiver every time.
As this song is so emotional for him all the others have an eye on him. He even had his the vocals turned off in his in ears.
Thank you for the info. It always helps to know more of the back story
@@GTReactions ua-cam.com/video/v65-ErfUyVM/v-deo.html
"And afterwards there is darkness, silence and just a fading heartbeat"
And then the Mother and Father part begins. I noticed that in this part the piano layer resembles the sound of a cardiogram monitoring the work of the heart(d6 note I belive). It seems that those who helped him survive were his parents.
@@Jutubowiec1 Wow thats very interesting interpretation, never thought about it that way
@@GTReactions .. to be more precise,...he fired Tarja by trashing her reputation publicly and her legions of fans, industry and critics deluged him with criticism to the point of deep deep depression...and here he claims that the backlash was unwarranted
Greetings from Finland & thanks for reacting to one of the classics of Nightwish. To demonstrate the precision of Tuomas' songwriting/composing, it takes exactly three minutes from when the young boy's voice says "Now I only have three minutes and counting" to the point when Tuomas makes his hand gesture of cutting his own throat.
P.S. There's also a demo version of this song on UA-cam in which Marko Hietala, their bassist/backup-/occasional lead vocalist, sings all the parts of this song & does an amazing job.
Thanks for the info and being here
- Ruostumaton- Marko Hietala(Rustfree?) What a Book 🇫🇮😁🤘❤️🎸🎶👍
You seem to like it wild and uptempo:
„Devil and the deep dark ocean“ from Buenos Aires 🤘
Thanks for being here
Real lighters, respect boys!
Just had to be done
im still waiting for "weak fantasy" live at tampere..... hahahahaha.
nice reaction bro, keep them comming
Coming soon!
@@GTReactions I'll be waiting bro! Hahaha good luck
My favorite song from the Endless Forms album
Sooo good!
Thanks for such a great introduction to Nightwish!!!
Definitely gonna be looking more into them
Hope you enjoy it!
The Nightwish army encourages you to do so and hopes you will become a member. :)
Have you had a chance to look them up yet? If not, I recommend Ghost Love Score, Wacken 2013. It's not their best song (IMO) but it's a great sample of what they're capable of.
To have been a fan. An seen the "open letter" fiasco first hand. An know the background to this song. It guts me everytime I see Tuomas singing along with the song everytime. Got to see them preform it live. Not a dry eye in the place.
this song was so emotional I can see how it woudl bring the whole place to tears
@@GTReactions .. actually..it was Tuomas who chose to part in a very nasty manner and had the sky fall in on him, to put it mildly...lol
I got to see it live in a small venue... It was life changing.
@@xeleelex146 ... with Emppu, Jukka and Marko.
You should check out The Greatest Show On Earth next!
I will be checking it out. Thanks for being here
What a great reaction, guys. Enjoyed it immensely. Always so positive and I dig that. The energy is good. Thanks.
You guys did it justice. Thanks from Iceland.
Thanks again for being here
Just one, mild, correction. It's not five different songs, it's five movements of the same musical piece. In the same way classical music uses movements to split a symphony.
By the way your descriiption of Floor "just punching the words into your soul" was astounding, by far the best description of what she does.Your reaction was fun though :)
Glad you enjoyed the reaction. Floor is just such an amazingly talented woman and she seems to know just what everyone needs to hear all at the same time
Tuomas has said in an interview that when they perform this song, he has the sound engineers turn off the vocal feed to his in-ears because of how personal and painful it still is. Also, from the moment the kid whispers, "I have only three minutes and counting" to when the pendulum falls and Tuomas slashes his throat, is exactly three minutes.
Thank you for the info. It helps to know more of the story.
the Dark Passion Play portion is so heavy for Nightwish standards and I LOVE it. Reminds me of Master Passion Greed, one of their least known and angriest songs, basically slamming Tarja's man for ruining everything.
Ouch
too bad, its all Tuomas's delusions..Tarja's manager was the only one looking out for her interests, for a change and that drove them nuts
Nice dual reaction, i could see how both were very into the song. Also the roller coaster comparison is very accurate, that's what their music seems like in these epic songs.
Roller coaster seems fitting. Thanks for being here
Such an emotional song, I cry every time I see Tuomas singing his heart out in the last part. Ty, good reaction.
This song takes you on such an emotional roller coaster ride.
the last part of this song is so haunting. also if you noticed Marko and Empu were gathered around Tuomas in support and love at the end because they lived the song with Tuomas together. you can the bond that they have built over the years. it's wonderful
I agree 100% the last pat was intense.
Great,Great Reaction !! I can't hear this song,without tears in my eyes ! Nightwish hit my soul,on every emotional level !
How many bands can do this too to you ??
So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for being here
Hi guys! Great reactions! Check out swedish band Sabaton "Bismarck" (Official Music Video) Drummer of that band is married to Floor Jansen (Nightwish) That guy is sooooo lucky:)
I will try to check it out thanks for being here.
I love this song! You both did a great job reacting to it thank you for doing it justice.
Thank you for being here
@@GTReactions I love Nightwish and have for years. I love watching them gain new fans so this has been truly enjoyable.
Tuomas likes to write songs in sections like movie scores instead of classic pop/rock songs. ”The Greatest Show on Earth” is in five parts aswell and you need to react to it. It’s about evolution, from the birth of our planet till the end of mankind. Beautifully narrated by Richard Dawkins. React to the ”Live from Tampere” version and you have reacted to the ”big 3” songs by Nightwish (Ghost Love Score, Poet and the Pendulum, Greatest Show on Earth”). I really think that GSOE is the pinnacle of any live performance ever by any band or artist.
Thanks for being here. I want to finish the Concert I started with. Then I am hoping to do a live review so all the fans can join in.
G&T Reactions Sounds like a plan!
Great Reaction! Do you want another Roler coaster? React "The great show on Earth". Epic. My favorite nightwish song.
Jeison Mendonça hell get to it. i’ve been asking since ghost love score lol
I wanna finish this concert before I do anything else . So I can do A Live review and have all the fans join me. Thanks for being here
Thank you for the word I was desperately looking for when describing Floor's singing.
LEGENDARY!
Yeah, I feel like that almost captures it. ;)
Almost but still feels a lil lacking
@@GTReactions Hehe, you speak from my heart, my friend. No words can really do justice here. :D
This video always makes me cry. It's funny to see people react to the part where he mentions being "raped again and again. Knowing I will always be loved."
It obviously isn't literal. Since this is about Tarja being let go. They were childhood friends. That is why it was Sooo hard on him.
I believe he is speaking about being used be the music industry. But knowing his fans will always be there for him. Thus he "always be loved."
I can see that about the music industry and the fans
actually, they did not know each other all that well...and most fans did leave NW after his display
People get upset with pausing......as another viewer i get it,i totally do. But remember guys,my boy is a REACTOR. Reaction channels do more then just sit back and watch the entire thing,they also need to put words to what they are experiencing,watching & hearing. (And with certain artists/bands....lets not forget to avoid copyright strikes) Now i will be the first to say this,there are certain channels that goes abit over the top. It seems they want more attention then the actual reaction and what not. But i feel like G&T Reactions does a entertaining and good fine balance here,never once had a feeling like "okay stop pausing dude!","stop being soo extra and theatrical!" or "ok stop talking!" lol. I have also kind of tired abit over thousands of vocal coaches trying to analyze Floor to death in theese videos. Basically because most of them say the same thing we have allready heard over and over. Might be just my imagination,but it seems like UA-cam had a big bang of "vocal coaches" busting out of the woodwork,after Nightwish blew up on YT. Dont get me wrong,i love to listen to good vocal coaches who explains to you just how great a singer is. You learn to appreciate your favourite vocalists in a more technical descibed way too. Anyway,this channel i quickly appreciated as it is very chill,and a fun place to hang out at. One of my favourite vocal coaches (a woman) actually said a thing noone had pointed out before her. She highlighted how Floor desended the exact same notes LIVE,over and over flawlessly on that final part about his parents comforting,embracing and telling him to hang in there. The parts she was highlighting were theese ones ----> 17:58 The rest is history,as Floor is the absolute best storyteller........because she puts soo much emotion in every vocal she delievers,making everyone feel what Tuomas went through back in the day. Heavy depression is no joke,and it dances around inside you like the devil,when you least expect it. Had my fair share of danceoffs with it myself,and it just drains you of energy,ruins your good mood,intoxicates your positive way of thinking. You basically see no light in that long tunnel....dont wish that upon anyone. People have said to me "imagine,he climbed up to mount everest and survived",and expected me to praise him. I had to answer "you tell me when he has taken several walks with depression and anxiethy",to me thats a far more impressive battle or accomplishment then anyone willingly doing any type of activity like that. Dont get me wrong though,i can jawdrop from a guy surviving a trip to Mount Everest,as i have seen the documentaries since i was a kid or a young teen. That mountain is in many ways a serial killer,one of the greatest at that too. So people walking down from that....they are lucky! But im glad i had the experiences with depression etc,because that actually made me soo much smarter on life itself. Anyone out there "dancing with the devil" on a daily,weekly,monthly,yearly basis,you guys and girls are the true freaking champions to me! I salute you! It takes endless amount of energy,patience,stubborness....you name it,to fight it off. And with the right help (each individual is different,so they need slightly different type of help,they need to search within themselfs and find that out,what is the better solutions) So thats why i will say that Tuomas Holopainen is a freaking savage and a true champion to me! I felt every word he put into this song,i understood him. I have been in deep depression,i have written off notes while i was in my deepest depression,and its scarely accurate to what Tuomas felt. And with that experience,guys like me,Tuomas and others will be the best help towards others that struggle with it now. I had several shrinks,noone really worked for me. Not until i met people who decided to join mental health helping others,because they had experienced it firsthand themselfs. Thoose were the ones that knew how to give me tips and suggestions that worked for me,and conversations that made my intoxicated mind go "oh wow,im not alone in having this". A normal shrink that only have been reading outdated books about the subject,will just try ripping up your past over and over.......maybe it helps someone,i have no doubt. But in my case that wasnt the case. It was just the feeling of wounds healing,that got ripped open again and again for me,so they really didnt do much for me in the long run. But yeah,thats why Floors performance in this gets me abit teary eyed,every single time.... She is just too damned good! I felt it when she was upset and angry by herself or with Marco,and i felt it when she "spoke through Toumases parents" and in general got emotional. Marco delievered absolutely brilliant as being furious on the mass media,some of the fans unfortunately (there were some real nasty rumors,nicknames and what not started by "fans") He just got a massive amount of hate over such a extent of time,that i believe Marcos angry vocals are Marco letting out anger in the name of art,on behalf of his close friend. Thats why all the guys gathered up around Tuomas at the end there,they knew this song was hard to perform for him,so they looked at him like "we are here for you,brother!". Floor also looking over at him a few times towards the end reassuring herself that he was okay. I said it once,this band dont treat eachother like friends......they treat eachother like family!🥰 I felt bad for the guys over so many years,first the nasty breakup with theyr original singer,mainly because of her controlling,manipulative,evilminded manager and husband. Theyr angriest song is about him and there i have never heard Marco unleash such a beatmode in vocals,he is relentless! So imagine just how bad this a-hole stomped on theyr feet,to have Marco sound like that. You know when you eventually listen to it,its called "Master Passion Greed". It is never played live,because that jackass threatened with a lawsuit if that ever happened. Same goes for a music video sadly. But "Bye Bye Beautiful" wich is theyr message to the original singer,has its own music video. Probably the highest view number of any metal song out there. Nightwish at theyr most heavy and aggressive by a mile. They also dont play theese songs anymore (the poet and the pendulum included),as they are in a much healthier,happier place today. Like i said,also a reason why i love Floor above anyone else. She came in and the guys felt they could finally breathe easy,theyr hearts were at peace,and they got the best chemistry i have ever seen in any band. Troy wich joined around the same time as Floor has publicly spoken up that he didnt like theyr original singer for numberous reasons. I must admit,i loved Tarja back in the day. But after Floor came in,i would not for the life of me go back. Today i see more clearly how cold Tarja was on stage compared to Floor,how limited her vocals were.....Floor is several levels above,pure and simple. And even her personality attracts more and more people into Nightwish as we speak,they have been on a several years long UA-cam hype now. Sorry for the length,but it was mostly about the songs own subject,and it has been a passionate fighting cause for me for many years allready. Not many years back in time,it was considered taboo to speak about. (people thought you were a complete nutcase lmao)
*Superemotional Floor Moment* "You haaave such Oceaaans withiihihiiin" GT: "FACTS!" I almost fell of my chair :D
hahaha thanks for being here
Amazing and great seeing you all react together #OrganicFam
More to come!
Hi Guys . Thomas stayed at his parents house after this . This last part is what his mother said to him. Marco and Empuu at the end we're giving him emotional support even when Empuu went to stand by him earlier in the song,
Thanks for being here
Next "Greates Show on Earth" Tampere !!.. Stay safe and take care ..
Thanks for being here
At the end is acceptance and comfort.
This song (this version) has made me cry many times. That last part you called 'forgiveness' was Tuomas' parents talking to him and telling him everything will be alright. Some of it were literally their words to him when he was in that deep dark place. And that part always gets me, man. lol
This whole song was an emotional roller coaster for sure. Thanks for being here
Your best reaction 👍
Great reaction!!! I love how you both said that you felt the song to your soul. They all perform with passion and convey their love of music to us.
Thanks for being here
Thank You Mates🇫🇮😁🤘❤️🎶🎸👍👍 That was Great!! More coop, do -The Gratest Show On Earth- together....it will be awesome mindblower🤘😁🇫🇮...for you, and ofc for us😲😊🤪😁
Great suggestion! However I want to finish the concert I am working on first then do a live review before I move on to other songs. Thanks for being here though
Hope you do more Jinjer songs next..or Tarja..or Iron Maiden..or...
More Jinjer to come for sure
Excellent reaction.. Weak Fantasy, live at Tampere next please..
I'll check it out
Kick ass reaction guys! 🤘 It's actually just one song split into chapters. I've been a Nightwish fan since 1996, and even though the firing of Tarja shocked me, it was neccessary. Since her termination, Nightwish has gone on to bigger success and Tarja has established a successful solo career for herself. In 2017, Tarja did an interview saying she and Marko have made amends and are friends, once again. Marko confirmed that. Pretty Cool.
That is amazing thanks for being here
dealing her such a cruel hand was not necessary ..
Floor Jansen......the female Freddy Mercury
I agree. Thanks for being here
One awesome reaction Mates...was a bit strange cause of the cc's that weren't really watchable... but hey Still 👍
This is 1 heck of a song, one of their best imo...and the story behind it 🤘
This is really 1 song in 5 parts. And the way Floor tells this story 😋 at some moments you can see what this song means for Tuomas...👌
The small details in this song, in the lyrics...the pendulum in the background, the 3 min reference in the lyrics...after 3 min...the sound and Tuomas...ow boy...😘 the way Marko and Emppu are standing with Tuomas, while Floor does her thing at the end 💪and so much more...as said 1 Heck of a song
Thank you Cas and Organic, this was lovely...👊 had a fun time in the chat!
Thank you for always being here and showing support!
Kai is also the drummer of Wintersun which is another Band you really should check out! Wintersun - sons of winter and stars sonic pump studios live rehearsal....
I will try to get to it
finally a reaction that i love to see ^^ Great job!
Sound of silence by disturbed live on the conan show when? :P
I'll check it out!
Someone already mentioned it, but Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars (at Sonic Pump Studios) to see Kai Hahto (the drummer) go bananas with the drumming.
I will try to check it out. THanks for being here
In most reaction videos people miss the symbolic suicide of Tuomas. That makes this one the most intense for me, especially since finding my neighbor dead by suicide last February.
There's so much happening in their videos and music, it's almost impossible to look away for a second or you might miss something.
So sorry for your loss.
the warior princess has hooked again,...this is so mutch the feeling,...of is wish i was there
Thank you for being here
You both did a great reaction. You had interesting coments. A sad and beautiful song!
Thank you so much!
Basically the song is about the firing of their very first vocalist Tarja Turunen that has been a part of the band from the start. Tuomas and Tarja have been close friends from childhood onward and he was also the person who asked her to join. So firing her from the band was a hard thing for him to do. Because he knew he was also loosing a dear friend. But ever since she met, her now husband and manager, convinced her that she was the star of the band and would be better of solo, the atmosphere in the band deteriorated. Although it was decided that she would record one more album with the band before going solo things got so bad by the end of their last tour with her they decided to make a clean break after their last concert of the tour (The end of era was the last show released as dvd). I think you can kind of see the tension in the band if you take a closer look at it. They fired her directly after the show was done by handing her a letter. To be clear to the fans on why they thought this was necessary they published the letter on line at the same time (not the best way to handle this). Although they had expected some critique they were totally surprised by the enormous backlash they received from the press and fans. The biggest brunt of the backlash was directed at Tuomas directly who was thrown in to a depression because of this. He also did no longer see a future for the band he had worked so hard for. He considered suicide but knew this would hurt his close family and friends so he decided to commit suicide artistically by this song. At one point he even moved back in to the house of his parents (mother and father) who put him back together again and this gave him the strength to make a new start.
The next song you really should take a look at is "Dead boy's poem" live in Buenos Aires. ua-cam.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/v-deo.html
Thank you for the info and being here
🤩👌💥💯
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Floor is the only singer that can take 80k metal heads and sing them into silence. Nuff said
FACTS!!!!
Well done guys. It is hard to get the emotions of this song right on the first time. Continue your journey, there are no more limits, chose whatever song you like from those wonderful group of artists.
Thanks for being here
I've heard this song many times, and it makes me cry. Every time.
It is very emotional
it's actually one song broken into 5 acts.
Thanks for the info.
They are very good, great reaction. But more tool!
We will!
Thank you
You're welcome
Wintersun - Loneliness (winter)
Thanks for being here.
Change of pace for you, different band and song. You love guitars and drums... you have to check out the song Holy Wars, The Punishment due by Megadeth. It kicks you in the balls from the opening riff and from there you're just hanging on!
Ok after that description I will have to check it out
@@GTReactions - Awesome! Just find the official video from Megadeth....and play it loud! 2 different guitarists in the band play solos, one being the lead singer who also happens to have been original guitarist for Metallica
check out: Last ride of the day
I will try to check it out thanks for being here
It is one song with five movements.
We figured that out. Thanks for being here
Dig Black Metal.....
Thanks so much for being here
Loving this ❣️
Thanks for being here
Hi there, great reaction. So, since several people have suggested that you react to the Greatest Show on Earth, I am assuming you are going to do so at some point in the near future. Make sure that when you do so, you react to the correct version. The correct version, in this case, is The Greatest Show on Earth life at Tampere. There is a 17 minute version and a 21 minute one and the latter is the correct one. Here is the link to what I am pretty sure is the correct version: ua-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/v-deo.html
I want to finish the concert I am doing first then review it live with all the fans before I move on.
G&T Reactions Yeah, that is fine, I just wanted to be in time. A lot of reacters react to the wrong version after which, most of the time, Nightwish army slaughter ensues, so I just wanted to give you a heads up. :)
Ever dream....
Thanks for being here
Insane
No joke!
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌
thanks for being here
💎
Thanks for being here
If you want to see Kai Hahto go on the drums, check out Wintersun. NightWish is beautiful, but the drum parts are easy compared to Wintersun songs. Try Sons of Winter and Stars - live rehearsal
I will try to check it out. Thanks for being here
It’s only 1 song with 5 parts... and described a very unhappy part of Nightwish history - especially of Toumas and her first singer Tarja.... good reaction anyway...
These live performances are sooooo insane. They hit directly your soul... and believe me, you can watch it 100 times, it’s always same emotion. And every time I understand a little bit more of the songtext - it’s so deep....
This song was by far the most emotional one I have reacted to by Nightwish for sure. Thank you for being here
" three minutes and counting"...watch what happens after exactly three minutes in the original video...(7.00-10.00)
Thanks for being here
Did I request Master Passion Greed yet? I don't remember...everything is all..jumbled up in my head, anyway it's heavy as heck, just thought I'd mention it. Great reaction to The Poet and the Pendulum guys. Love that song, love floors outfit. Take care and...PEACE
I'll check it out! Thanks for being here
Well ok ....... 2 great reactors listening to 1 great masterpiece and you just made my day , thx for the reaction !! Try Sahara live in Tampa Fl please 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
Thank you for being here
Amazin Floor Jansen, amazing Tuomas ...inspirated in the soul ,Hail to the queen Floor Jansen
Facts!
You should look at the very dark and classic poem by Edgar Alan Poe: "The Pit and the Pendulum."
I will check it out
Great reaction, and you didn't pause that much (this time)
It;s your channel and we have to deal with it how much you pause, don't stop what you are doing
I try to find a happy medium with the pausing. Thanks for being here
wow thanx this epic song react both of you. this song can get eyes wet when right feeling and alone or drunk. when they kick tarja out of band, it was long period sadness,but now floor get everything back to the top. thanx both and have grate day there. g and t never fails.
Thank you so much
Thanks for a wonderful reaction. I think this is Tuomas his best song! 💕🤘
Thank you for being here
So you've done two thirds of the trinity with this and ghost love score, next you've gotta do The Greatest Show on Earth live from Tampere.
Thanks for being here
This is my favorite song ever.
Dudes, you have to be very careful in emotions, or you will drown & die into this song.
Thanks for being here
Great reaction guys loved how you really feel that song. Stay safe guys.
Thanks for being here
Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. Dude, if Floor doesn't scare you, then there's something wrong with you. Our Warrior Goddess could kill you with a thought, and reduce you to tears with a single note. Damn good thing she uses her powers for good or we'd all be fucked. Great reaction, brothers. NWA 4ever! Long live the Queen!
Thanks for being here
@@GTReactions Your welcome. :)
You guys would love 'The greatest show on earth' at Tampere.
It is on the list for sure
It's one song, it's just "chapters" in the song
Thanks for being here
Nice reaction, with a "minor mistake", it is just one song, not 5 lol
Felt like 5 songs. All that emotion in one song is almost to much
Great reaction i've ever seen,,🤘
Glad you enjoyed
💕 Nightwish
Thanks for being here
Best song ever.
Thanks for being here
You have felt what everyone calls "the floorgasm!" I advise you to listen to Epica, another group of this style and especially the title "sancta terra feat Floor Janssens". The singer, Simones simons, is also in the same register but more punchy. A feast for the ears and an anthology show. Thank you for loving Nightwish, the best hard fantasy band in the world.
I'll check it out!
