Tbh, one of the songs where i prefer Annettes vocal. Floor is my favorite NW singer, but i definitely prefer Annettes vocal. Also one of the songs i think wasn't done very well at Wacken (not because of the band, but because of the mixing - the choir was too quit).
@@RonniePeterson Anette is a great singer, have a listen to her two albums in her new band and the work with Russell Allen. I think people give her way to much crap.
@@Deadlytenor21 absolutely agree her problem with Nightwish was her inconsistency live she was great one night then the next she was hopeless and I mean hopeless. I think that her problem was pacing herself and her voice and regardless of what you think of Floor or Tarja the greatest quality they share is that they are trained singers and knew their voices well and how to sing for multiple nights without impacting their vocals. Another singer who is not trained and has the same problem live (to a lesser extent though) is Within Temptation's Sharon den Adel...album work is stellar but her voice gets rapidly worse when touring. This is the huge advantage of vocal training.
Happy to finally see this one on UA-cam. Charlie's reaction to The Slide was solid gold. Underappreciated aspect of this song is getting to hear Floor's awesome lower range belting, which she doesn't get to use that much in Nightwish.
"eider covered in oil" An eider is a sea duck known for providing down for stuffing clothing and bedding for warmth. So an eider covered in oil is no longer able to keep itself warm, becoming a metaphor for dysfunction.
I actually had what we called an "eider down", which was what we would now call a duvet stuffed with that. It wasn't until this song that I came to realize that an eider was indeed a duck lol.
Mmm. It also feels like a reference to pollution. So much in that one line alone! It's dysfunctional, can't fly, cold and a sitting duck. Also, ducks are meant to have oil in their feathers, it keeps them waterproof so they can float. But this one sounds like it's covered in far too much oil. Too much feeling, perhaps - too much love or obsession, to the point it's become toxic.
Lyrics God love and rest my soul With this sundown never ending 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 Ode of lies is killing me Romanticize 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, love letters 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

I have seen at least hundreds of reactions to this song, mostly just ending in awe for this glissando. Charlie is the first to thoroughly analyse it, great job👍
3:37 in your video, Perfect stop. The facial expression of Floor and at the same time Marko (Who is 180cm tall) passes by and looks small comparing to Floor. Awesome😶
i dont know anything about singing, but i love to watch these Charlie reacts to Nightwish videos. You have such a pleasant voice, I could listen that forever
This is enormously impressive and fun, but still in a show-off kind of way. That last note in Ghost Love Score is sheer emotional triumph. Utter WIN. Once in a lifetime moment. Giving me gooseflesh every single time.
My opinion is just the opinion of one person. Do I care? Nope! You have become my foremost important reactor on UA-cam. I feel your dedication and passion to the human voice every single time. Let we conclude that Charlie is doing Charlie things and Floor is doing Floor things as Chase Carneson has so many times wisely said. 😉 Thank you for your reactions on UA-cam. You do an amazing job to me! 🥰😘
Pretty sure the highest note Floor hits in that slide is a D6. That's the highest note I've heard her sing outside of "Phantom of the Opera" on Beste Zangers (which is also a D6).
The _attitude_ here XD and the guitar is his purple EV-1. Marco has his Warwick Buzzard. I had wondered if the slide was electronically created. Cool to know it's not!
Oh Charlie ! Eider. . . . . . .Over this side of the pond, we limeys, who never got scurvy in the sailing days of The Royal Navy, call your American comforter an Eiderdown, a thick quilted blanket traditionally stuffed with indeed, Eider down feathers. I expect nowadays the Royal Navy gets to places way faster and ensures the crews have a sufficiency of vitamin C and no need to store the long-lasting limes for the trip. All the best and a great reaction from you as is always the case.
Nice. Of the like hundreds of reactions to this song, very few people realize how awesome what Floor and Marco did on that last bit and how awesome it was.
Emmpu is using the EV-1 which is his signature from ESP. For a long time I thought it was an old school Horizon Custom and that might've been the basis for it but I'm unsure about that.
@bigbrainsinger As Floor is a vocal coach… do you think she also tipped Marko how to use his vocals? And that this improved their harmonies? Greetings from Holland 🇳🇱
Marco has been singing proffesuonally for like 30 years. It has been said that floor helped him get through a botched vocal polyp surgery that in his words "destroyed his clear tenor voice"
“Tank, if you see this, tell us what guitar he’s using” Dudes and dudettes, we all know by now what guitar that is. Especially if you followed Tank’s Nightwish journey 😂 The ESP EV-1 here in purple, like in 99% of their concerts, or he switches it up that 1% up the time and change to the other white/silver finish 😂 I laughed so hard I almost pooped my pants
I kinda know what's going on in Floor's vocal slide (cannot do it currently myself, lack of practice), but I had very little cue on how tenor voices transit. Very informative on Marko's case.
That was a great metal voice from you & interesting to hear about the singing skills in the slide that Marko & Floor have & use in it. Cute cameo from your dog 🐶 👍🏼
Your reaction to the slide... Tied for first place! You did exactly what I did. The other best reaction to our favourite moment in this song is from "Arab Man Reacts". Check that out here: ua-cam.com/video/NrzB5NPoRXY/v-deo.html time stamp 7:39. Thank you, and well done!
Floor does great, butTarja's original version is astonishing perfection. Their only the studio version, and the operatic staccato in metal is her signature. Check out Romanticide (studio version), Slaying the Dreamer (End Of An Era Live), Dark Chest of Wonders (End Of An Era).
"someone ask Tank what guitar he's using" I almost spit out my coffee, dude :D The EV-1 meme lives on!
i was about to write the same. actually it was a glas of wine I nearly spit into
I literally lol'd at that.
i expect Tank go " is this a trick question?"
Its gonna go on forever!! xD
Has Tank reacted to any of pre-Marco live shows? Would definitely get some fun out of Emppu playing a different guitar.
Just one of the best things ever with Floor joining NW is Marko didn't have to hold back his great voice anymore...
I agree. I've wrote that on some of my comments
He has never held back his voice, not with Tarja and not with Annette
I had not realized that you had not reacted to this masterpiece!! Thank you!! You made my day!!!!
Most of these were reacted to on Twitch a couple of months ago, Charlie just staggers them for UA-cam -)
@@forkless I need to get Twitch then
Noticed you haven't looked at Nightwish's Song of Myself. Might be an idea so as to explore Floor's Lower Register tone and timbre.
Tbh, one of the songs where i prefer Annettes vocal. Floor is my favorite NW singer, but i definitely prefer Annettes vocal.
Also one of the songs i think wasn't done very well at Wacken (not because of the band, but because of the mixing - the choir was too quit).
@@Athinira ? Your having a laugh.
@@RonniePeterson Yeah, god forbid people have different opinions.

"eider covered in oil" An eider is a sea duck known for providing down for stuffing clothing and bedding for warmth. So an eider covered in oil is no longer able to keep itself warm, becoming a metaphor for dysfunction.
And easy prey for the "double faced carnivore" perhaps?
I actually had what we called an "eider down", which was what we would now call a duvet stuffed with that. It wasn't until this song that I came to realize that an eider was indeed a duck lol.
And can't fly, literally a "sitting duck"
Mmm. It also feels like a reference to pollution. So much in that one line alone! It's dysfunctional, can't fly, cold and a sitting duck.

Same eider featured in oil bath in the "Noise" video?
Lyrics
God love and rest my soul
With this sundown never ending
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
Ode of lies is killing me
Romanticize
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, love letters 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

This has become one of my favorite songs from this show.....just amazing....FLOORED
TANK made the EV-1 more popular than Emmpu just by saying EV-1 100 times.
The last 50 seconds of that performance is my favorite live moment ever. My. Lord.
I have seen at least hundreds of reactions to this song, mostly just ending in awe for this glissando. Charlie is the first to thoroughly analyse it, great job👍
3:37 in your video, Perfect stop. The facial expression of Floor and at the same time Marko (Who is 180cm tall) passes by and looks small comparing to Floor. Awesome😶
Emppu is using his ESP Signature EV-1 as always 🎸💥
Once again BBS thank you! So accurate and clear comments
of you. It´s so fine to watch your reacts.
Stay safe.
I love when vocal nerds hear this!
I totally appreciate the excellent vocal analysis. I can't sing a note, but I can play bass. 😂
i dont know anything about singing, but i love to watch these Charlie reacts to Nightwish videos. You have such a pleasant voice, I could listen that forever
yesssssss!!! my favourite Floor belt!!!
Chuckle…dude, you had way too much fun with this one!
Henk Poort needs to learn to play bass, asap.
😆 How good would that be? Love that idea!
Nightwish Only three US cities in 2021 Lowell, MA 10-7-2021 Tickets on sale now.
"The Gliss" duet in this is surpassed only by the last vocal note of Ghost Love Score...just...
This is enormously impressive and fun, but still in a show-off kind of way. That last note in Ghost Love Score is sheer emotional triumph. Utter WIN. Once in a lifetime moment. Giving me gooseflesh every single time.
noticed reference about 48 hrs to learn base. good one
Hi. I've said in some of my comments that Marco can spread his vocal wings now with Floor. Especially after Anette.
My opinion is just the opinion of one person. Do I care? Nope! You have become my foremost important reactor on UA-cam. I feel your dedication and passion to the human voice every single time. Let we conclude that Charlie is doing Charlie things and Floor is doing Floor things as Chase Carneson has so many times wisely said. 😉 Thank you for your reactions on UA-cam.

Agreed!!!
HAHAHAHA!!! "She plays these concerts really safe"............30 seconds later..........mind blown!!!!!
I was waiting for that Floorgasm! Ha! lol
Pretty sure the highest note Floor hits in that slide is a D6. That's the highest note I've heard her sing outside of "Phantom of the Opera" on Beste Zangers (which is also a D6).
She can slide up to a F6 in the Romanticide slide. But it does not sound better than this one
@@AlbertZonneveld That,s right she slide up to F6.
The _attitude_ here XD and the guitar is his purple EV-1. Marco has his Warwick Buzzard. I had wondered if the slide was electronically created. Cool to know it's not!
Hahaha oh man Charlie you're all of us rocking out to the slide.
Oh Charlie ! Eider. . . . . . .Over this side of the pond, we limeys, who never got scurvy in the sailing days of The Royal Navy, call your American comforter an Eiderdown, a thick quilted blanket traditionally stuffed with indeed, Eider down feathers.

Another reaction to my Favorite Reactions list . Thank you !!!!! NWSU
Think this guitar is an EV-inflate 1
@bigbrainsinger As Floor is a vocal coach… do you think she also tipped Marko how to use his vocals? And that this improved their harmonies? Greetings from Holland 🇳🇱
This is Charlie’s girlfriend. Charlie has said that he doesn’t know for sure, but it’s possible!
Marco has been singing proffesuonally for like 30 years. It has been said that floor helped him get through a botched vocal polyp surgery that in his words "destroyed his clear tenor voice"
At one point Marko descends while Floor goes up to that amazing high note.
“Tank, if you see this, tell us what guitar he’s using” Dudes and dudettes, we all know by now what guitar that is. Especially if you followed Tank’s Nightwish journey 😂 The ESP EV-1 here in purple, like in 99% of their concerts, or he switches it up that 1% up the time and change to the other white/silver finish 😂 I laughed so hard I almost pooped my pants
I didn't know that you could be a great sounding kettle Charlie XD.
She is a Morphing Goddess 😎😎😎😎

Onsets entered the chat!!
I'm so late, but the slide is great! 😎👍

The guitar is an ESP Custom Shop Empuu model made for him.
Also, does anybody see the resemblance between that chick in the crowd at 8:29 and MIranda in the Mass Effect Trilogy, or is that just me?
At the end, Jukka beats that cymbal like it's two months past due on a huge gambling debt! Earlier, the machine gun double bass is just epic!
Why did I remember u had already reacted to this song before?
Yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh!
"A Duck!" "Exactly! Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?"
Plays an ESP-EV1
I don't know where it is, but they did do a duet of Ave Maria that may interest you.
I've reacted to it on the channel actually. Amazing!
I think you needed a cigarette after that slide. LOL
Hee hee... you said _"hard on..."_😁😂
The last minute and a half of this song is the best minute and a half in rock history. It never fails to impress anybody
The purple ESP EV1
10:37 AIR RAID : )
"Why a duck?" (ref: Marx bros., "Coconuts")
🤘🖤🔥
Quack quack
you need to react to Floor and Henk Poort's cover of "Dangerous Game" from the musical Dr Jeckyl and Mr HydeFloor recently uploaded
Didn't you already react to the whole show?
A bird covered in oil can't fly or regulate their body temperature. Oil spills are a death sentence for birds exposed to it without intervention.
Cool
I am already missing Marko.
Yes I missing Marko Hietala voice :)
Im pretty sure Emppu is using les paul this time 🤔😂
Floor & Marko :)
EV-1Gang here.
Hmm. I could have sworn this had already been uploaded. Glad it will live on.
That was a great metal voice from you & interesting to hear about the singing skills in the slide that Marko & Floor have & use in it.
Cute cameo from your dog 🐶 👍🏼
I think "Eider covered in oil" is just the most pagan lyric I have ever heard...Heh...
Your reaction to the slide... Tied for first place! You did exactly what I did. The other best reaction to our favourite moment in this song is from "Arab Man Reacts". Check that out here: ua-cam.com/video/NrzB5NPoRXY/v-deo.html time stamp 7:39.
Thank you, and well done!
Floor has a "nice gritty chest"?
Eek!
Floor does great, butTarja's original version is astonishing perfection. Their only the studio version, and the operatic staccato in metal is her signature. Check out Romanticide (studio version), Slaying the Dreamer (End Of An Era Live), Dark Chest of Wonders (End Of An Era).
not bad???
Fplease reacct to tar
Charlie don't bass.
are you smart?beat floor jansen and I'll salute you😂😂😂even Flor growl is better than you.
Geezus, you're playing the pronoun game? Dude.
lol catch up bruh
Noticed you haven't looked at Nightwish's Song of Myself. Might be an idea so as to explore Floor's Lower Register tone and timbre.
He didn't??? Gosh....
That is a fantastic song. Yes please.
He watched the whole wacken show in one stream already. But he's still going through some songs again on their own.
