    I feel honored by this shout-out, and because you decided to continue exploring Nightwish's music. of course, you have a new subscriber here. The list of songs that I am promoting contains their most successful songs, most of them performed live, but it is not a mandatory route to follow - for example, towards the end Judson was a little scared that Floor could sing with distortions. Floor also masters this vocal technique, which she experimented with extensively especially with her previous band, ReVamp, but there is also a song from their 2015 album called "Yours Is An Empty Hope" in which she sings consistently with distortions ( it's part of the list, obviously). I await with great curiosity your next steps in this adventure.

    "The greatest show on earth" from Nightwish should be much more interesting for a musician like him, because it has so many different "episodes" or "movements" how you would call it in classic, and comes closer to how classic music tells a story too. I really recommend that.

      It's not that hard if you have talent for music. I played my instrument as a child only by ear because I couldn't read notes for many years. I just thought that it's totally normal and everybody does that. I never learned to read notes properly and still played in orchestras etc. and many many times I learned my part by somebody else playing it first.

    Floor Jansen DOES do the gutteral / growling stuff! Not so much with Nightwish (although there are a few songs where she does some of it, such as "Yours is an empty hope", Live in Wembley 2015). However she did a lot more of that stuff with her previous band "Revamp".
    A great example of the that is Revamp: Mysery is no crime, Live @Mezz Breda 2014.. It is a phone recording, but she will blow you out of your socks!

We all love the Floor's command of the audience and her absolutely stunning voice. On the Gabriel list there is one song where Floor goes gutteral "Yours Is An Empty Hope". The best one to get her gutteral singing is either the Live At Wembley 2015 or Live in Mexico.

    The Snowman was written by an English author and illustrator called Raymond Briggs, but I have no idea who wrote the music. It's still a mainstay on Christmas TV over here in England and he had an instantly recognisable style. His kids books were favourites of mine growing up, particularly Fungus the Bogeyman and Burglar Bill, but he also made a brutal animated film about nuclear holocaust called When the Wind Blows, where an elderly couple try to survive in a devastated London. This traumatised the hell out of me the first time i saw it as was expecting a light hearted story as opposed to slowly melting grandparents.
    None of that has anything to do with Nightwish, but hopefully was of some interest.

    Nightwish has used the London Philharmonic Orchestra since 2004 ("Once" album). And are right now in London (Abbey Road studio) recording the orchestra and choir parts of their tenth album. According to the drummer's announcement, right now it's the turn of the children's choir parts and percussion instruments. After that, other orchestral instruments.
    NW musicians' own instruments have already been recorded before. The NW musicians' vocal parts will then come at the end of the year.
    Nightwish has so far released 9 studio albums and six of them have an orchestra involved.
    In London, their contact is Pip Williams, who is a record producer, Arranger and guitarist, best known for producing albums for Status Quo and The Moody Blues and acting as well as Supervising the Orchestra parts and Orchestra arrangements for Nightwish.
    Collaborators in London also include James Shearman (orchestra and choir conductor).
    Two stories about that first one, the 2004 recording, when they didn't know each other in London yet. What Pip Williams and Tuomas Holopainen later commented:
    1. Pip Williams has told the following story from Nightwish's first recording session in London. Usually the orchestra's musicians always leave home when the recording was made that day. After all, they are just employees there. But it was different with regard to Nightwish. Many times in the evening, after the recording session, those Musicians came to the control room to listen to what had been played during the day and what kind of music the members of Nightwish make. They liked Tuomas' compositional work, which was not similar to many other rock or pop bands they had worked with before. This was something completely new to them. Pip said that this behavior from those musicians was something "abnormal," something they usually never did.
    2. Tuomas himself recalled the following from that first recording: "When the last night came and everything was recorded, I went to the studio room to thank the orchestra's musicians. They all stood up and applauded me. It was one of the Greatest Moments of my life."

If you continue on with Nightwish I think you'll be surprised at how many different directions their songs come at you and the size of the smile they leave on your face. This is a band that can rock your world and make you happy at the same time. Enjoy the ride.

    My god, when he started playing at 12:30 I closed my eyes, and literally felt my soul leave my body. Absolutely beautiful!

      I absolutely love Great Measures content I've seen so far, I 100% was not ready for the playing at 12:30, legit gave me chills. Such a talent to hear something essentially once and be able to play it or iterate on it like that, BRAVO!!

    Ok, good review guys, really. Specifically, without talking too much.
    Of course, they (Nigtwish band) play live, the partial background for their music is the earlier sound line, i.e. the orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra. Stage presence, happiness on their faces, perfection - this is what I like most in music - being happy with being on stage and transmitting energy to others!
    Leaving aside Nightwis for a moment - I recommend Burgerkill "Killchestra" - An Elegy (Official Video) - seriously, it's the name of the band... from Indonesia.
    You won't be disappointed, believe me.

      It's the year 2015 version you actually want. The video titled "NIGHTWISH - The Poet And The Pendulum (OFFICIAL LIVE)" on the official Nightwish channel is the video you want to use. It also has all the lyrics in subtitles.

    You can not not like Storytime (well you can but shouldn't :P). I have wondered what and Empu solo would´ve sound like on this song, not needed but just a curious thought. And Floor is such a lovely soul off stage and in private yet so fun, badass and commanding on stage. Our metal valkyrie! And she does growls too... You see it surely when THAT song get´s suggested and picked ;)
    And Judson was jamming at the end. It´s so cool when someone can hear a key and then just take off playing something along the melody of the song with it´s own flair to it. I would love to hear a full piece of what he played in a separate video. The chord progression is so tasty.

    • @vogel2280
      @vogel2280 7 місяців тому

      Ehm, actually you can. I feel Floor did not get a proper flow in the start of the song. And somehow it bothers me. I am no fan of Anette, but she did get a better flow on those first verses. When we get to the end and Floor blasts everyone away with those awesome operatic lines and powerful exit, then it is exactly right. Sorry, but the start of the song does not grab me. Also I am more a fan of the worldly themes than the fantasy-wish-I-could-be-a-child theme. Now, I totally get other people might feel this entire song is awesome, It just does not really work for me.

  • @aleksanderdomanski222
    @aleksanderdomanski222 7 місяців тому +1

    In "Yours is an empty hope" Floor growls as well. So prepare for the fall.

    16:30 They can't travel with whole orchestra :D
    Yes they playing LIVE, they just have some recorded layers (backvocals and some sympho)
    Yes Tuomas plays a lot of thing on "piano", actually he has 3 of them on a stage ! But He just can't replace the whole orchestra :D

  • @lillianekockritz2796
    @lillianekockritz2796 Місяць тому

    For the orchestral parts Tuomas always visits London and the London Symphonic Orchestra for recording his ideas, sometimes even together with a choir. He now successfully works together with this orchestra for many years. Later at the concert he replays these orchestral (and choir) parts controlling this from his keyboard stand. All other music and singing is live without any playback or something like that.

    Your is An Empty Hope (Wembley 2015) or Romanticide (Wacken 2013) should be the next one. I'd also love for you to react to Gethsemane (Buenos Aires 2018) for some serious Bach vibes.... a song that Tuomas wrote when he was about 21.

    Storytime is the proof that even when Nigthwish do their "Pop" songs, they doing it without cheezenesss.
    For me it is a good reason for new listeners to be the second or first one to react to....
    I also really like brutal Death like Vulvodynia, but when it come to Nightwish it's like i'm living a sensation experience.
    I just been emotional when GreatMeasures played so well the chorus on the piano. Thank you so much!🔥😎🤘

  • @Mischnikvideos

    The film is a Finnish-Canadian co-production. In Canada there were the necessary production opportunities that are missing in Finland.
    The ride on the snowman is a flight into the soul of the main character. He is the age of a child and is introduced that way. It is also an indication of his inconsideration of those around him and refusal to take responsibility for himself and others. The snowman who carries him is his evil alter ego.
    The film and album were created at the same time. Tuomas originally wanted a series of music videos so that they could be released individually. But the director Stobe Harju persuaded him to make a real film. The album music was adapted for the film by Petri Alanko and can usually only be heard in fragments.
    The film is probably also the reason for the break with Anette. Anette became pregnant unplanned at the beginning of the tour and wanted an early termination. But the film cost $3.2 million and hadn't been released yet. The band didn't know whether they would be able to recoup the production costs. Anette was persuaded to hire a replacement for the end of the tour. However, she immediately rejected the guest singer suggested by Tuomas: Floor Jansen. She was afraid that the band didn't want her back because Floor was already an experienced metal singer and had made similar music. Despite this, Floor was hired by the band behind her back. When she found out, she probably threatened to resign to secure her position. However, the band accepted and had to hope that Floor could learn the setlist and get from the Netherlands to the USA in the next two days. Shortly afterwards the film had its world premiere in Finland and Floor sat in the front row. Nobody looked particularly excited. A little Q&A about the film at the German premiere the following year:
    Imaginaerum premiere Berlin 2013
    The film was only released in the USA in 2015.
    The Growls question is clarified
    NIGHTWISH - Yours Is An Empty Hope (LIVE IN MEXICO CITY)
    or with her former band
    ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop (2010)

    Yes she does.
    Yours is an empty hope from Wembley Arena and Ghost River from Wacken (2 minigrowls, not everybody cathces it).
    And in her previous band, ReVamp. (Distain from the Grasspop festival).
