You: “Oh God! What did I get myself into?” Nightwish: Yes
I like this one: "he's got technique, I'll give him that". lol guy in a chair doing reaction videos paying homage to the lead guitarist in a super successful metal band. Oh, the irony.
Lol...

I'm like 100% that this was a jaw hit the floor type of comment, not a condescending one.
"How have I not been listening to this band?" - What everyone says when they first hear Nightwish...
That was me a month and a half ago.
I never tire of hearing this statement. ^.-.^
Another thing (for me) is: Why have I not keep listening?
I heard Nightwish at the beginning, liked it, but Tarja was (she's exceptionnal, a fantastic singer, but...) too operatic FOR ME.
I liked the songs, but I couldn't be a deep fan, ther was something I needed I didn't have.
So I never went very far in this band.
When Annette came, I was definitively out. She's also a good singer, different, but too pop FOR ME.
By chance I heard and saw a part of a show on youtube with Floor, and I immediatly fell in love, she gave exactly what I excpected to match (FOR ME angain...) to Nightwish. He awesome Voice of course, but also the "rock" presence, the charisma. A revelation, and Nightwish became in my top 5 favorite bands.
I know a lot of old Nightwish fans says that Tarja stil the Nightwish soul and will always be the best. But as I was first a fan of the Tuomas's work, I don't fear to say that the perfect Nightwish is the one we have now (Troy is also a fantastic addition).
Human :|: nature is a masterpiece.
That's what everyone says the first time they hear any good band, lol.
@@ooO0VicariouS0Ooo Don't worry dude, i listened to this band since Tarja was the lead singer, stoped because Annette's voice was too pop for me too, and she couldn't even sing old Nightwish's songs. But Floor was not just the perfect match for you or for me, but for the band, she can sing every song from every album, and can give the song what we didn't even know that the song needed. Like i always say when i listen to this woman, she's not a human being she's a goddess, Shoemaker is a proof of that.
As you probably realised now this is a band full of musicians that really know their craft and have no need of showing off unless the song actually demand they show off, but when needed they certainly do it with style. And the good thing about not having discoverd them before now is that you gotta a hell of a lot of wonderfull music left to discover/react to :)
I agree. Finnish people doesn't want to show themselves. We are just doing the best we can, and that's it. Greetings from Finland!
that is the thing about Nightwish: no two songs sound the same 😊 and everyone does what is right for the song, not to show of one's own abilities. Enjoy the journey 😁 there is a lot to discover. And Emppu (the guitarplayer) has skills but is also very funny on stage
Floor chases Emppu around the stage when he plays with the back of her wardrobe. 😆
You have just scratched the surface for nightwish! Army looks like we hooked another one!?!
Looks like, definitely 🤔👍😆
Indeed 😁
And I like this one! He knows his stuff!
At one time Empuu nearly quit NW, cause he said he didn't think Toumas was utilizing him enough. He plays what the song needs.. He no longer feels like he needs to show off his skills and techniques. He has understood sometimes the song is more than flashy guitar solo's. And he's right. There are a lot of great guitarists in bands out there that play what the song needs, or catering to what the band is, rather than really showing off just how talented, skilled they really are.
Wasn't that fun?! Welcome to the Nightwish family. 😁
So cool see you fall in love with nightwish 😂😂🤘🤘🤘
You don't get much radio play with songs that last 10 minutes or so. Of course there are nowadays also other ways to find good music. The Nightwish Army is doing a fantastic job spreading the word. As you now know.
Please react to Nightwish - High Hopes. It's a Pink Floyd cover and Marco's vocals are pretty awesome!
Yes . One more vote on this one kkkkk . Enjoy the ride .
And "The Islander."
Yesssss already suggested High Hopes 🖤🔥
@@nubiatb1151 Me too, earlier vid lol. Bears repeating.
One thing how Tuomas is creating music and how NW play/present it: Tuomas will write down what he see, feel, taste, hate,love etc...and paint it with help of melody to our minds. Some bands are making music thinking like ” what will sell most” and play also like that. But my friend, NW is not doing like most of others. That’s the way how NW respects fans. We as a fans should respect NW to not say how they should play, present or compose their pieces of art. As Tuomas wrote in new album in song Music: ”There, I'll greet the greedy crowd
But will never
Never, ever sing to them”
Amen.
Say sorry to Emppu xD hahahah
Yes, this duet crescendo at the end is just mind blowing! Or what you think?
Song of myself!
The two most used comments when referring to Nightwish. “How have I not been listening to this band” and “that song is different than the last one”. 😄 🤘 Want some more of Marco and Floor duet with the 6’1” Valkyrie screaming? Try Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean: ua-cam.com/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/v-deo.html
And after few reactions, "Do they have bad songs at all?"
Time for 7 Days to the Wolves (Wembley) ;)
A classic.
There’s nothing quite like discovering a great band and realizing there’s a quarter century of material to uncover.
Nightwish is outstanding! Love this band. Incredibly versatile and Floor is amazing! Storytime or Ghost River next. Live performances, super addicting!
I think that's what all of us latecomers say to ourselves. "How have I not been listening to this band?"
Emppu has couple real nice guitar solos in their live cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes". It's a good display of Marco's vocals as well.
Waiting to see you react to "the scream" in Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean (official live from Buenos Aires 2018)
Yes!!!
And that belting too.
Great reactions!
Try The Greatest Show on Earth!!!
“Oh God! What did I get myself into?” Has anyone told you yet that Tuomas wrote/recorded an entire album about Scrooge McDuck (The Life and Times of Scrooge). Or about Imaginaerium. Tuomas couldn't just do a concept album like other bands would have done, instead its lets make a full length motion picture to go along with the album and while it has a couple of tracks off of the album in it it has its own soundtrack as well. Like I said in your GLS reaction this rabbit hole is deep and twisty. As for how good their live performances are there are a couple of reasons. The first is they are perfectionist and wont record something that they couldn't play. The main reason though is that every couple of tours they will professionally record a big show off of the tour and release it on a DVD/Blu-Ray so there is a lot more quality recordings of their live shows than most bands have.
Trust me, "Dark Chest Of Wonders" (the opener to this show at Wacken) or "Song Of Myself" also from Wacken next. You will be blown away.... Oh, sub!
every nightwish song is a journey unto itself
As an old metalhead, I don't understand how in the 2020s someone did not listen to this band.
As you heard, Emppu can shred when the composition calls for it but he normally just plays with Marko.
If you are looking for egotistical musician that want to shred all the time and show off their individual technical skills, then Nightwish may not be the band for you. Nightwish is composed of highly skilled individual musicians that are dedicated to creating and performing great music that is melody and composition centered and focuses on the vocals, poetic and meaningful lyrics, as well as interesting and varied musical compositions and song structure. Many songs do not have individual solos and when they do occur, they are done with taste and only what the song requires over ego. It is kind of like listening to a singer that constantly uses melisma to the point of oversinging. These types of vocalists simply try so hard to impress that it takes away from what is attempting to be a great piece of music and degenerates into senseless trash. How many times can you listen to Yngwie Malmsteen and others shred up and down the guitar neck before you have had enough. Impressive granted but boring from musical and compositional standpoint. However a great song performed with emotion and conviction never gets old. Just my opinion?
Shredding for the sake of shredding is boring. Shredding when the song asks for it serves its purpose. To me it works best when not overdone
This a 100%
@@ruma9687 Iron Maiden are the masters of song appropriate shredding. Nightwish are just masters period.
@@stevecampbell9670 hard to disagree on that
Awesome response!!!!!
Someone put it well: Nightwish has a massive sound and only one guitarist and still it never feels the music is lacking guitars.
You got yourself into the deepest rabbit hole in music, 3 songs in, about 120 to go before you get into side projects and solo performances. You aint heard nothing yet! You will be saying "this is the best one" for the next 50 songs, along with "well that was completely different to the others". The sheer range of Nightwish is just unbelievable... thrash metal, celtic metal, folk, power metal, they did a jazz/blues song once, then they go into acoustic songs that are just beautiful... Tuomas is the metal mozart, Floor is the best singer of her generation, Marco could lead any metal band with his vocals... Troy can play anything, adds so much with his flutes and whistles and ebow guitars... kai haito, the drummer... just wow. If you watch him in Wintersun, the guy is an absolute machine. As for Emppu, you saw a bit of what he can do on lead guitar in this one, but he never goes into solo showing off mode... its always what fits the song.
Go for "Seven days to the wolves" at wembley (sold out 15000, I was there it was the best gig I will ever go to, thats for sure.) It has the most epic ending to a song possible!
Great reaction! Best moment is: "How I've not been listening to this band?" , Best reply: All reactors ask themselves the same question.
Keep it up! and keep enjoying this incredible journey of the Nightwish experience, don't worry too much, you still have like 70 more great songs on your path
"God created music and said it was good....."
"Then he created Nightwish and he smiled for it was great....."
"Then God created Floor Jansen and he dropped the mic...."
"For he had created Perfection"
That wonderful dumbfounded look at the slide. *Blink, Blink* I love it!
No one of them tries to outshine the other, they use what best befits the song. Each one of them is so talented, but they never let egos get in the way of the collective sound. Emppu is an extremely talented guitarist :) Hope you enjoy more from them :)
All their stuff is this good,worth every penny.
Great comment at the end :)
Like your reactions.
Can't wait for you to get back and reacting to some more of this great band.
Nightwish has released five concert DVD's over the years....I have them ALL!!!!.....check out "I want My Tears Back" from the same show, and be introduced to Troy Donockley, the 6th member of the band, playing Uilleann pipes
Cool! More Nightwish, please! Maybe Ghost River from the same consert cause I like Floor and Marco together too...
I second that emotion.
Yepp
They get better the more you get into them, thanks.
They have many excelent songs, great reaction, thanks
"I don't even know what to say to that!"
You say: "Thank you, oh Valkyrie Goddess - my ears have been baptised!" 😉
Floor and Marko had worked together before Nightwish, guesting with Delain, a Dutch band you should have a look at.
@4:05 "Oh there is more".. haha we are justing getting started :D
There's always more with Nightwish, always.
The best live band in the world. The best singer in music today. Welcome aboard!!! 7 Days to the Wolves live @ Wembley is also amazing!!!
Whenever I watch Nightwish I get distracted by Floor in leather and boots. Love the syncopated drum accents at the end
Have fun down the Nightwish rabbit hole, epic compositions by Tuomas, they are not to be compared to other bands, with Floor in the lead vocals they have no rivals.
Do not forget Marko's voice, I am listening to NW for 20 years now and I really love his voice, solo, with Tarja, Anette or Floor, it's always a pleasure listening to him.
@@nubiatb1151 Too bad he left Nightwish, a band he had been a member of almost 20 years. 😟😟
I am liking your reactions!!! The thing about Nightwish is that they get labeled as Symphonic Metal......
and that is true......SOMETIMES........Few bands can pull off what they do......they are so dynamic.......
from symphonic, to celtic, to very metal, to semi-pop, to melodic........they are able to do this because
of Tuomas........he is just a masterful with his lyrics and compositions........glad you are on board!!!
Emppu is one of my all time favourite guitarists. Fun on stage, always up to something and an amazing guitar player. He is such a cool dude.
Tomas who is the mastermind/music writer of the of the band is a modern-day Mozart. His arrangements and transitions are pure masterpieces. The other band members are also established and talented who could easily showcase their skills during every song, but they do not because most of the time the songs do not require it. What makes their songs so great is their combined effort. And besides when you have arguably have the best vocalist in the world fronting the band, she unintentionally steals the spotlight. Since Floor has joined the band Nightwish has been on another level. She has brought joy and peaceful kindness among the entire band.
Nice reaction! Looking forward to see more of your Nightwish reactions.
Hey, you should check out nightwish shudder before the beautiful wembley 2015, awesome awesome thanks 😊
great reaction, tnx man...
Genius , amazing band, metal nordic beautifull
7 days to the wolves is also such a fun song to watch them doing live
Down the Rabbit Hole he gooooooeeeeessss!!!
It's kind of frustrating when even the people who teach don't seem to understand that sometimes playing music is so much more than showing of, Nightwish is a team effort, building peace by peace a beutiful mind blowing picture.
It is the sign of a bad teacher.
Storytime next
haha storytime is coming, bud!
@@LetsPlayMrK and song of myself after
@@galadballcrusher8182 don't forget after that..... ever dream 🤘
LoL Heard many times now in reactions: “how have I not been listening to this band?” I just discovered them last year too - they are amazingly diverse & entertaining always!
Great comment Sergey👍
You got yourself into The Journey ;)
If you want something heavy, go with Song Of Myself) And on your previous video I left some suggestions for you regarding Marco and Troy also)
They went Full Throttle!
For music that's on par with Nightwish, check out Ayreon. The Day That The World Breaks Down is a good point to start.
Unlike any other music project that I know of though, Ayreon is also a sci fi audiobook series. But in the form of symphonic prog rock/metal. They collaborate with so many talented singers and musicians from all over, it's a true treasure trove. Safe travels :)
Love your reactions. Nightwish always brings me to a channel, and I stay for the other videos if the Nightwish ones are good.
Would love to hear you throw in some more technical analysis to the music, rather than just reaction. You clearly know your shit, and UA-cam is filled with reactions to (the same few) songs from people that don’t know music. If you can explain to us the little points that make the music interesting/challenging/different/special, that’d make you stand out. You do it more than most UA-camrs already, but do more!!
Either way, thanks. I've been listening to this band for 18 years. They get better every year. Love hearing people appreciating them.
Want some more kick ass guitar riffs? Then you MUST check Your Is An Empty Hope - from Nightwish cruise.
Empuu is amazing. The beauty of his style is that he could shred and impress if he wanted to, but he, like every other member of the band, does what the song calls for - to perfection. Anything but a melodic riff echoing what Floor's vocals were doing would have stood out too much in Ghost Love Score, so that is exactly what he did. It is so impressive to me that each member of the band knows how much and when to step forward, and when to fade away, to create the perfect piece of music. It's not about Eddie Van Halen kinds of single musician showmanship.
I would like to suggest you to react Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars live rehearsal at Sonic Pump studio. Please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼
This is really good song and band. Also, Kai Hahto was then their drummer and now he is in Nightwish. Good chance to look him more closely with this song.
Yes, please Mr. Guitar Teacher. It will be the tightest guitar playing there is. And there is no sheet music, they have learned everything from the singer by ear. And yes, this is exactly what you will get in concerts,too.
This is one of my favorite songs from this amazing band :) just a lifetime fan talking here hahaha
Great reactions. I would like to say that you haven't seen anything yet, but that is not completely true...but they do have huge amount of good quality live stuff, and every song is different. I am so jealous for everyone who has this whole journey ahead. Just beware those slowed down versions of this Wacken 2013 concert. There are tons of those in YT. Stick with official videos or use this: ua-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/v-deo.html
"Oh there's more, oh boy" ...pretty much every Nightwish song ever.
Who have I not been listening to this band?? Well, people in the US seem to forget there is a whole world around them ........
I think you should really listen to Nightwishes High Hopes Cover
No bad songs with nightwish keep it going ty
Your point about the solo in ghost love score was completely valid, I've always wondered about the simplicity of that solo myself. But, they've always been a band that values accuracy and constraining themselves within the songwriting, which is impressive in itself. In the 90s I actually didn't enjoy them because they were TOO precise for my taste then, but now I can't get enough of them.
taking a Nightwish journey,pack a lot of snacks.
The riff in "Your's is an empty hope" is insane too
Floor can sing whatever an ear want to hear :P Thanks again for this reaction
No problem!! Thank you for your support!
Love to see you react to Rosario by Hizaki. For the full effect could check out Versailles Faith and Decision in which he is one of the lead guitarists.
Anyway glad you enjoying symphonic metal
Well, sometimes no need words, face tells a story :D
Nightwish have now 9 studio album, a couple of singles (songs which are not included those albums) and several live dvd/blue ray from past 20 years.
List from "Floor era videos": Buenos Aires 2012 one song (GLS), Wacken 2013 whole concert, Tampere 2015 whole concert, Wembley Arena 2015 whole concert, about 10 songs from different concerts and countries 2015, Buenos Aires 2018.
Wacken 2013 is already a legend. Everything went there correctly, even weather. But also those others have their points. Like Tampere 2015, their 20 years anniversary show, they just put some extra there, what we can see in last song! Wembley 2015, sold out (12500 people), first Finnish band ever played there as a headliner (not first Finnish band, cos their support band played before them - and it was also Finnish band!!! :D ). And famous Buenos Aires, that audience!!! And almost forget, Wembley 2015, after finishing last song, world famous scientist Richard Dawkins comes on stage and read few words to the ending. That was big surprise, what can see from audience, their faces. That album 2015 was really connected to science, and Dawkins read also some line s in that album. So, that´s why then they got him to come also on stage! Just think that situation when 74 years old professor steps out, in metal concert!!!
Both Tuomas and Floor were thinking scientific career after school, but music took them - our luck. But loss to the science. I believe they both could have been good in their scientific career. Both were dreaming to come a biologist. Actually Tuomas even started university, but stopped it after just several months.
When Tuomas and also Floor were in school, they both were dreaming to be a biologist. And that never happened, but still, their names can be found in biology... A new insect species, Sciophilia holopaineni, discovered by a Finnish biologist named Jukka Salmela, has been named after Tuomas Holopainen, because of Holopainen's love for nature. In 2018, a new species of beetle was discovered by scientist Andreas Weigel. It was named after Jansen, dubbing it "Tmesisternus floorjansenae". It´s quite rare to get own name mentioned in animal name, but here we have in one band TWO members who has got their names given to newly found animal!!!
Now, when you have read those other NW fans writings here and add this, you start to get picture, why we don´t think them to be just an ordinary band... :)
You can react all the songs of their 9 albums and nnever been disappointed. Nightwish is my favorite band in the history!
welcome to you're new obsession hahaha they have a lot to see and hear enjoy and have fun great reaction btw
This is my personal favorite Nightwish song with Floor of course.
You’re going to love Seven Days to the Wolves Wacken 2013. All of these musicians are incredibly skilled. They only do what the song requires as it was written by Toumas, the keyboard player. This band has no room for egos. This has not worked well in the past with former members (excluding Jukka).
Ehm, 7 days to the Wolves is Wembley 2015.
Watching a tornado or listening to nightwish. Same reactions. "What did I just witnesses?"
You've redeemed yourself. *lol* The thing with Nightwish and guitar is that they don't rely on a shredding guitar solo to carry the song. Metal heads aren't quite used to that. Too many standard 3 chord progression metal songs out there, capped with a nice shredding solo that's typically over the top, faster than the song needs, and simply to showcase speed, rather than actual musicianship. Nightwish writes symphonic metal, where the emphasis is on all the instruments working together, so Emppu's solo's only provide what composition needs. No more, no less. If called upon, he can shred with the best of them. His power stance is just his thing, part of his interaction with the crowd, not to compensate for sub par technique.
Nightwish / floor has another victim
Welcom to the nightwish world. Better late then never....
Enjoy your ride and the army has your back 🤘🤘🤘🤘
It sounds like you started with ghost love score and that’s usually the starter and it’s a good one, but this band has so many different lanes. it’s pretty amazing and there’s so much to hear and see because a lot of their best stuff is live. And that’s something to say right there.
If you're looking for "technique" I'd recommend shudder before the beautiful, with it's deuling keyboard/guitar solo
If you like more aggressive guitar emppu shows his butt off on yours is an empty hope and slaying the dreamer check it out great songs
82,000 strong
Shudder before the beautiful, live Tampere'
yeah if you hear to nightwish you always forget how good the guitar is and then he throws a piece of magic in youre face
Ghost is the singer and drummer. They all have their parts
I reccomend
Sabaton - Resist and Bite (Live Wacken)
Next, these guitars are just breaking ground.
Or listen to Metal Crüe (Live Wacken)
Also really good
Floor is married to their drummer (Hannes van Dahl) and they got a 2.5 year old daughter, Freja van Dahl.
They both would love a collabiration between eachother, thus Nightwish + Sabaton
Thats gonna be epic
Why do I love these both bands so much 🤘🤘🤘
Like Sabaton's song Metalizer states: "The best heavy metal comes from north"
Keep rocking
If i get married i want this to be my honeymoon music
🤩👌💥💯
"Romanticide"??? Like a freight train where you won't hop off at the next stop! 😈
🤘😎🇫🇮💙
Typical Nightwish spirit : the musicians/singers are here to serve the music. Not themselves. This is why, on a small scale, some of the musicians could seem "average", especially Emppu (the guitarist) who never shows off. But on a larger scale, when you listen to the whole set, you see how all of them are brilliant. And that Emppu is actually the backbone to Nightwish. He's the "power" in Symphonic Power Metal. And he's the cutest, let's face it ;)
I was I not listening to this band! The most common phrase heard from reactors all across UA-cam. 😀
Told ya so. LOL
Try there heaviest song Master passion greed with Marco on vocals 👍👍
Great reaction video. Thanks. 🤘🏿🤘🏽🤘🏻
As a guitar teacher you might know her, but if you want to see really impressive guitar work, then please do a reaction to Tina S with her version of the Moonlight sonata.
