      Dude you really need to check out Wintersun and their song Sons of Winter and Stars (ua-cam.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/v-deo.html). The drummer and bass are now playing for Nightwish. Where the drummer you have been seeing is a great drummer and showman, Kai (that came to Nightwish from Wintersun) is a technical beast.

    Thank you for continuing to react to Nightwish, new subscriber here for that.
    About "Romanticide" - it's a song about the death of romance, in a relationship full of betrayals and lies, with the destruction of dreams and invested hopes, and in the end - the cry of release, that's how I interpret it.
    If you are interested in the lyrics, it is good to know that the official videos have subtitles. You can also find them in Azlyrics for example :)

      Hey drum smoke haha , I am gonna throw up another suggestion, I know you have lots but I think this one is a gooder, Shudder Before The Beautiful live at Wembley, the show opener. I’m an older guy who grew up with many of the big hitter bands throughout 70’s/80’s/90’s and came across Nightwish by accident through a drummer Ami Kim who drummed to one of their songs . Btw she is pretty good , anyhow I haven’t missed a day of some Nightwish since and that was 3 years ago lol they are just so different and talented, Floors my favourite too . You don’t have to reply to me as no one else seems to so thank you , and I will be seeing all your NW reactions 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼

    Every song, man. Every. Song. They're all so good! From my perspective, you can't go wrong with anything from Wacken 2013, but there's a few great things from Buenos Aires, Wembley, Tampere, the End of an Era Tour (you'd hear their original singer there). I'm not a drummer, so don't have a specific ear for what might interest you more than something else. I can just tell that Jukka and Kai both are master class. They all are, in this band. So despite that, I might recommend Song of Myself. I love the breakdown in that one. Glorious. Everdream hits like a locomotive in the second half of the song. Two of my favorites there. Both of these from Wacken 2013. Yours is an Empty Hope is pretty heavy, and a bit of a surprise. I'd suggest Wembley for that one. Storytime is another of my favorites, but for other reasons. Wacken also for that one. Others I saw had some great suggestions for drumming-focused listening, but I think as you might be able to tell now, all their songs are different, and they are all amazing! Knew you'd like this one though. Romanticide is amazing. Great reaction!

I love seeing people discover Nightwish, as it reminds me of when I did, and I generally had the same sort of reaction, and still get to when I see others go through it too. If you do get around to learning the Romanticide drum line, I think that'd be a cool video to see. I've never heard it isolated. I've also never heard drumming parts of songs I know specifically commentated for the drumming parts, so if you wanted to do some things like that in addition to music reactions, you might find some traction with that.

    Nightwish has a heavier sibling called Epica. They are a dutch Symphonic Metal band with death metal influences. The growler and founder of the band Mark Jansen(no relation) brought Floor into her first band After forever in 1997. He left to form Epica in 2002. Epicas lead singer is Simone Simons and is also a Sorano like Floor. Consign to Oblivion will blow your doors off and introduce you to there drummer Ariën van Weesenbeek.

    That's a 3 octave glissando that Floor does in tandem with Marko. I think Floor hit D6 there(don't quote me on that). Her range is listed as C3-F6. The studio version , from 2004, only has his 2 octave slide.
    One of the few that Emppu really shreds on, as he and the entire band play what is needed for the song. They aren't out there to show off.
    The lyric was 'double faced carnivore' .The song is about a romance that has died. It's over ,time to move on.
    Knew you'd like the breakdown, especially the drums.
    Yep, Marko sings on a lot of songs. Mostly backing or co-lead, but does lead in a few. Unfortunately , he left the band for personal reasons early last year.
    A couple heavier songs (both with new drummer Kai) are Weak Fantasy (Tampere 2015) and Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley 2015).

    The more you hear from Nightwish, the more you'll become to the realization that this band not only is the real deal, but also happens to be the complete package.
    With that i mean, you'll notice they have mastered so many different styles, timings, rhythms, and compositions that one thing has become a certainty.
    That certainty is, ... if you had the powers to make them play any song or music of your liking, they would not only nail it, they would improve on it massively, they can literally play anything.

      Yesss, I second that. I was just going to suggest Yours is an Empty Hope, either Wembley or Mexico City 2015. If you are into the heavier stuff, that's a true gem. If you thought that you have heard what Floor can do vocally, you'll be surprised with that one. ua-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/v-deo.html
      PS: that's with the new drummer Kai Hahto and the video I linked has subtitles so the lyrics are easier to follow.

    Romanticide is from the 2004 album Once featuring Tarja on vocals. It was never performed live with her. It wasn't until 2009 that it was finally performed live, with Anette on vocals.

And I Vlad from Jinjer also stands out to me. Also always loved the drums with Opeth. All those bands are a complete package though.

    "I am an eider covered in oil
    Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore"
    An eider is a sea duck that coat themselves with an oil to insulate their feathers, they are excellent swimmers and can disappear under water in a flash. A double-faced carnivore would be a deceitful hunter. So to me this line is basically saying I'm on to you now you deceitful person so you are not going to hurt me anymore.
    This Wacken show was recorded for a blu ray disc release so there are very high quality video/audio of the whole 90 minute set.

      He needs to build up to that one. As a drummer in a band, he'll be more familiar with meanings behind the lyrics instead of just going straight into it. I agree on him reacting to it, but it will be even more powerful with knowing the story behind it along with the feel in that song.

    Jukka is my all time favorite drummer, and even thou I love their new drummer too, I will always miss him. Jukka was not the fastest or the most technical, but he has amazing stage presence and his rhytmic choices, fills etc were always on point. Unfortunately there are no drumcams of him playing. But I definitely recommend that you just watch this whole show piece by piece. Here is the best version (remastered by me & 4K AI enhancement by ShauningtoN): ua-cam.com/play/PLpxWcYEDYKwmEAKVjrJ8KXEWSPbI-QPtT.html
    And you should definitely see Nightwish' new drummer, Kai Hahto in action too. He is honestly one of the best metal drummers out there (and pretty amazing in jazz too):

    Edit to add, I hit save too soon; OMG you are the first to say they want to add it to their learn-to-play list. Sure, many say they'll add it to their music rotation, but you've taken it to the next level. I have watched thousands of reactions and have not heard that from anyone. Bravo to you for that - true musician there. NGL. I have a sheet music copy of Ghost Love Score for piano, and love trying to get through that one.

Its called (Master Passion Greed) there is only a studio recording of it this is sung by Marco . here's the link - ua-cam.com/video/hBTRq2Kgt3Q/v-deo.html

    I love the variety with Nightwish. They do so many different styles (wanna hear a sea shanty?!), and do something unexpected with every single one of them. If you want a single band that can broaden horizons, this is one of your best bets! Having said that, the Wacken trilogy of GLS/Romanticide/Storytime is a good primer before possibly branching out into other shows.

  • @pekkakarppinen1608

    "Romanticide" comes like a freight train from where you won't hop off at the next stop!
    It's pretty cool you're willing to widen your "view" on Metal music. All the way to symphonic metal.
    The same goes with life. If we are stuck in couple of things, whether it's a career, food, choice of genre in arts etc. how can we evolve as a person (???)

    Since you asked... this is what I would like to hear from you. I'm not a drummer, so I don't hear these beloved Nightwish songs through your ears, but I want to. So teach me. Teach me what you hear and why you hear it. Teach me why it stands out to you... why it makes your heart race, why it makes your palms sweaty, and why it makes you want to get up and start jamming out. Teach me what it involves, the skill it takes, the techniques, the nuances of drumming. It comes naturally to you, but it's lost on me, so educate me. Make me aware. The Nightwish Army has heard these songs hundreds of times, and though we love to live vicariously through a new persons ears when they experience Nightwish for the first time, it's something really special when you can make us rediscover them ourselves by hearing something we didn't hear before or experiencing them from a different perspective... YOUR perspective.

    Godlove and rest my soul
    With this sundown neverending
    The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail
    I am the decadence of your world
    I am an eider covered in oil
    Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore
    Tell me why
    No heart to cry
    Hang me high
    The music is dead, the amen is said
    The kiss of faith is what I beg
    A loving heart 'n soul for sale
    Tell me why...
    Leave me be
    And cease to tell me how to feel
    To grieve, to shield myself from evil
    Leave me be
    Od of lies is killing me
    Romanticide
    Till love do me part
    See me ruined by my own creations
    Leave me be...
    Dead Boy's alive but without sense
    I need a near-death experience
    Heart once bold
    Now turned to stone
    Perfection my messenger from hell
    Wine turns to water
    Campfires freeze, loveletters burn
    Romance is lost
    Lord, let me be wrong in this pain
    Temporary pain, eternal shame
    To take part in this devil's chess game
    Spit on me, let go, get rid of me
    And try to survive your stupidity
