Hello GINX [ @ginxmediaproductions ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome [ BACK ] to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community
🤘
Hello Gabriel! Thank you for such great insight to the history of the band and the link to all of your suggestions! I am so happy to have fallen into the Nightwish rabbit hole!
@@ginxreacts LOL... Told you so!
Nice to see you here General Gabe :) happy new year
Dear Gabriel, always good to see you Sir!
@gabriel_bardac It's probable that your posting this information to Nightwish reaction videos has contributed more happiness to the world than everything I have ever done in my 55+ years combined. I hope to still see your comments being posted a decade from now.
Singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants ❤once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch show ❤

I love the genuine YOU that you bring to your reactions. Your pauses to hunt for expression, your joy. It lets me experience it for the first time again and I thank you.
Plus the bonus of the tech nerd audio pro letting me in on yet another aspect of the performance.
The drums are "thuddy." Perfect.
Thank you so much! ☺️
Welcome to the magical world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked, and greetings from Finland! ⛄👍
Aye! Welcone and glad you enjoyed it, biw prepare for the Nightwish army to arrive shortly. Greetings from Finland aswell!
@@pal0vana_295 NW Army, western NC Battalion (USA) reporting in!
@GINX Media: As an audio engineer, you should know that this performance not only is the most viewed on the internet, but that the entire Nightwish Wacken 2013 concert is considered by many, including me, to be the best concert ever recorded. For whatever reason, the sound balance was so good, you could not get a more perfect balance if you tried. And, Nightwish was the headlining band on Day 4 of the Wacken festival in 2013, so this concert was the last concert of the festival.
Put it this way: If a concert needed a solar alignment with the planets, Nightwish certainly got that at Wacken 2013.
I love this so much, thank you for sharing. And I truly believe all of this, just from seeing this one song. The audio is absolutely PRISTINE
Yeah, this performance has everything: awesome song writing, great lyrics, amazing vocals, a brilliant band, really good quality live audio, visuals, lighting! An epic journey.
Yeeeah, crowdsurfing🥰 We also let guys in wheelchairs crowdsurf, it's awesome!
Yeah, Floor sounds like an angel, but she can sing operatic, rock, screams and grunts...don't be fooled😂 Please continu with Nightwish, every song is sooo different. Fromsymphonic- trash Metal to folky. Floor was a stand in singer at this concert in 2013 and she made this song her own. They are all so tallented and have so much fun on stage.
Welcome back to Nightwish! This may not be the vocalist you may remember. This is Floor Jansen, the Queen. She is their third vocalist. Enjoy reacquainting yourself!🤘🎸There are 82,000 fans!
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’.
Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera).
'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’.
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’
Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see.
Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish.
Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 7 years next march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.
Disdain live is fantastic
You just heard Floor Jansen who is the 3rd and current singer of Nightwish. Tarja Turunen 1997-2005, Anette Olzen 2005-2012, Floor took over late 2012 and had only been with the band for 10 months when this festival took place. Not sure how long ago you heard Nightwish so it could have been with one of the other singers. Floors previous bands were After Forever 1997-2009, Revamp 2009-2016 (sort of). Check out Romanticide next from the same concert at Wacken (Vahkan). Trivia, Wacken is a German town of 2000 people who get invaded by 80,000+ metal fans for 4 days a year.
Welcome to the Army. You are going to fit right in!
Thank you!!☺️
You have such a sweet smile on your face as you listen to this. I love seeing someone genuinely enjoying this as much as I do. Thanks!
Lovely reaction! It was interesting hearing you talk about the audio engineering because, while everyone acknowledges the musicianship, what helps make this one of the greatest concert DVDs ever is the more behind-the-scenes work: videography, lighting, pyro, mixing, and yes, audio engineering. Welcome back to Nightwish!
Oh wow can’t wait for this journey
Same here! 😄
Yup, same here, i just follow along!
Hi JINX (I’ll just call you JINX, may I?), I absolutely loved your reaction for multiple reasons. Given the very brief insight of your background I’m pleased to know that you’re not just making shit up. You know what you’re talking about. This is the first time I heard someone not just talking about the energy of Jukka, Nightwish’s drummer at the time, but you were focused on the sound! That’s a first. I’m ashamed to admit that I became addicted to reaction videos, which still amazes me, because it’s a ridiculous concept, but because of that fact I must have seen at least a thousand reactions on this video alone (I loosely calculated an average of 1 Ghost Love Score reaction video per day since the beginning of 2021 - I can’t help myself).
You seem like a genuinely sweet, yet no BS woman with the brightest and most infectious smile and your eyes reflect honesty, integrity, intelligence, wit, an open mind and a pure heart.
I’m sure the Nightwish army will welcome you with open arms.
I’m probably not their biggest fan, given the fact that I don’t necessarily love literally everything they’ve done, but they’re up there. It’s telling that it’s hard to find favorites among all of their songs, because most of them are so good and only a tiny handful of them are… well, less good (in my own personal and meaningless opinion).
Not everyone would agree, but to me a good Nightwish song, belonging to the very best, needs to have two conditions: 1) by preference it should be recorded live under the best circumstances and 2) if it’s not sung by Floor Jansen it won’t move me (at least not in a good way). AND PLEASE DON’T KILL ME, my fellow Nightwish lovers. 😬
If I really had to pick a favorite (this is hard, so I’ll pick three), it would probably be:
1- Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean (live in Buenos Aires 2018).
2- Yours is an empty hope (Wembley 2015)
3- Song of Myself (Wacken 2013 … however, if you like poetry, there’s also a video of the same concert, followed by more music written by Tuomas, the composer of most of their music, and some great poetry. It IS part of the music - a lot of Nightwish fans would appreciate this version, since only a few of them ever reacted to it, even though the ‘song part’ is exactly the same.
Well…, that’s about it.
I just thought “a long reaction video deserves long responses”. 😬
Sorry for that! ❤😊
Genuine reaction. Heard this song a thousand times. You are doing awesome.
Thank you!☺️
My Queen whom I serve forever
Floorever 😋
If you did see them 15 years ago it would’ve been a previous singer. The one in this video was only singing with the band for approximately 10 months before this video.
I actually confirmed I didn’t see them live, tho based on the background info, I was introduced to them and listened while the lead would have been Tarja
Nightwish Army Pennsylvania USA Division and new subscriber reporting for duty! As a fellow audio engineer I enjoyed your reaction! I look forward to joining you on the rest of your Nightwish journey!
Yay! It’s always great to have fellow audio engineers around☺️ thank you for being here!

@@frankmerris8821 I am in Chambersburg!
im 5 miles north of lancaster@@Earman54music
just for your information: Wacken is a little village in the North of Germany and there is one of the biggest Metal-Festivals in the world. Founded 1990 it grew to 85000 visitors for 3-4 days... It´s massive, the line up is massive!
They sell out early! Lots of fans bought tickets when the previous singer was touring...
Floor stepped in with 48 hours notice (sort of), flying out to the States.
You talked about the energy exchange between the band and the crowd. For the band this was the 13th song of a 15 song set, for the crowd this was the last band of a four day metal festival. The energy level is remarkable.
For another Nightwish performance with an unbelievable energy exchange, check out I Want My Tears Back live at Buenos Aires in 2018. The band and the crowd get into a feedback loop where the energy just keeps magnifying.
Annnnnd welcome !!!!!... this whole show is out of this world ,, just like the band are ,, Keep on this road,, you will not regret it... Enjoy 🤘🤘🤘
Hi GINX....so glad you enjoyed the song! Nightwish is my favorite band right now...and I have been listening to rock, hard rock, and the birth of heavy metal since I was a first trader in elementary school in 1963!
Nightwish is the best of the best in my opinion!
You have a new subscriber!
Yay, thank you so much!
ITS LIKE SHES SHIFTING THROUGH ALL THE GEARS FULL TURBO PEDAL TO THE METAL AND THAT LAST NOTE TOP SPEEDC 180 ❤❤❤MPH
The singer (Floor Jensen) is married to the drummer of Sabaton (another epic metal band you must check out). She does an outro to Sabaton's Christmas Truce video. You gotta see that one.
Wacken Open Air in 2013 had 82,000+ people at the NW concert. That's quite a feat given that Wacken, Germany has a population of 9000 (who can each get free tickets to the WOA festival). Also, WOA sells out the NW concert a year in advance. I was fortunate to get my tickets early. Here's the thing - Floor was not the singer when I purchased my tickets. Anette Olzon was the lead singer for NW. Floor was hired after NW fired Anette in October (I think) 2012 to finish the tour through 2013 as a temporary singer. Many people at WOA weren't aware of what she'd sound like with NW. We were pleased and she pleased the band quickly. It pleased the public when she was publicly announced as a member.
Oh wow, that is wild, and also thank you so much for sharing! I cannot fathom being in that crowd, it must have been incredible!
Yep, we can imagine you turning up and then experiencing *This!*
Welcome to the rabbit hole. I am an old guy (76) who only recently found Nightwish. Yeah, I grew up with all the rock. Follow Gabriel's list, you can't go wrong with it. Former electrician and stage tech. Worked on an auditorium, in the 80's, as an electrician and pulled mike lines for 50-60 units in that place. They also had sound studios in it and a recording studio. My bucket list is to see a Nightwish concert live.
HI FROM SHEFFIELD YORKSHIRE ENGLAND IV BEEN LISTING TO METAL SINCE A TEEN AND ONLY DISCOVERD FLOOR AND NIGHTWISH A COUPLE OF YEARS
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty:
What you should do:
Listen to Gabriel.
He knows.
Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-)
It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing….
About Ghost Love Score:
Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again.
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
And just like that the Valkyrie Goddess snags another soul.
Curious, if you were listening 15 years ago, you may not have heard Floor with Nightwish before, she replaced their 2nd singer Anette on this tour about 10 months before this concert, possibly you've mostly heard the first (very operatic voice) singer Tarjia?
Anyway, welcome to the Rabbit Hole, let us know when it's Storytime!

Welcome. I love sound engineers. I once trained at a Polytechnic in Greymouth New Zealand called Tai Poutini Polytechnic as an Audio Engineer and i use to play in a band at the local pubs there. I use to be the lighting tech for other bands over in Christchurch but never worked at something at this scale. What an experience. Sounds like you've had a way cool background. When i trained M.I.D.I. was still quite new and we used reel to reel and cassettes Lol. Quantising lol get that wrong and you may get a double beat on the keyboard. I was only trained on an old 64 Track recorder and i remember the first time i used Pan and realized that's how i can create Stereo lol. But this was when i was 21 about 29 years ago. I love this band Thank you.
How cool! Thank you for sharing!
The sound mixing on this entire concert dvd ALONE is a masterpiece, let alone the video editing, direction, stage show, and especially the performance. It's FLAWLESS!
I recommend getting the dvd and watching it on the biggest TV with the best surround sound system you can get.
Hello, GINX. Nightwish Army Phoenix new subscriber here for you. Thank you for this wonderful reaction to our beloved Nightwish with their 3rd and current female lead vocalist, our 6'1" Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen). Welcome to our Nightwish rabbit hole, of which you have only scratched the surface. I highly recommend that you check out all of Gabriel Bardac's comment and follow the link he provides at the end. That will take you to his community page where he provides links to many more Nightwish live performances. Keep these Nightwish live reactions coming.
Wacken is a sleepy midsize (not a city) in Nothern Germany. Its about 55 miles away from Hamburg up to the North. It has 2 Bakeries and 1 Gasstation, 1 Church and some farming. The Metal came to the Village and the early years where wild, really wild.
Imagine Floor was to this point only 10 months with Nightwish after this concert she became the lead singer after learning this score and all the bands list of songs in 48hrs
Unbelievable…and so so so bad***, I love it!
That was such great fun, seeing you enjoying the best band in the world! Looking forward to seeing more reactions and enjoy your many more Floorgasms to come :D Best regards from The Netherlands!
Ha! Someone reacting with knowledge about sound and technique on a stage. Wonderful. Your ADD (my ADHD/ASD was having a blast!) made it possible for you to notice this really strong dynamics between band/ Floor and the audience and the impact of it. Being a neurodivergent person sometimes rocks big time. I loved your reaction! ❤ Sub for that. Welcome back to listening to Nightwish. The Nightwish Army found you. Greetings from Westland, The Netherlands 🤘
Oh my gosh, I love this so much, thank you for commenting and talking about the adhd/neurodivergent side of things, lol, it is so nice to have that understanding
@@ginxreacts as an "Empath" Floor Jansen is also a neurodivergent person. If you check her out, you'll recognise a lot, as I did myself. She's amazing.
Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, très bonne réaction et analyse à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Vous venez de faire connaissance du métal symphonique et de notre reine Floor, mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Continuez sur le festival du Wacken Open Air 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe. Cette chanson est la 13 sur les 15 du set complet, ensuite toujours dans le même concert, faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse, puis essayez le Storytime, un excellent rock comme on les aime, avec une bonne surprise avant la fin de la chanson ou alors du plus lourd avec Ghost River pour entendre le mélange des voix de Floor avec Marko ou encore plus lourd avec Romanticide..... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel Bardac devait arriver sous peu ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel d'avoir repris le flambeau de notre regrettée Anne ) cliquez sur son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre une petite partie du meilleur du groupe. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait ........ Merci et à bientôt. Bonne écoute et un nouvel abonné ici.......Paix sur vous mon amie.
Thank you for all of this! So glad to be entering the Nightwish rabbit hole!
@@ginxreacts J'attends votre prochaine réaction avec beaucoup d'impatience, à bientôt.....
The Pure Joy on your Face, was an epic study in itself! Thank you for that, Awesome!
☺️
What a joy to watch this reaction. So much fun!
I'm a reaction addict. I follow a ton of reactors and I watch 2 to 3 hours of reactions every night. You have a great personality for it. Nice one.
Thank you so much
Floor is just an amazing singer / lead man and the band and stage is next level . ❤
Hi GINX, Mixed by Marko, the bass player. :)
The people responsible for sound, lighting, video wall, pyro, etc?
Crewish! Many have been with them for years.
Thuddy drums, yep. Love your insights and enthusiasm.
Audio engineer, oooh, this should be nice.
Jukka the grove magician.
Marko the Bass player, had a hand in the mixing...
You can tell that they are having fun :)
The transitions from styles.
Floors soft velvety voice, the guitarist, Emppu having a swig...
The Drums EQ and settings! Happy tone.
Soft choir, the woodwinds, drummer comes back on, off we go again.
Then the use of brief quiet sections, yummy.
Floor changes gear with her voice, ramping it up.
Cinematic, a movie score... Hans Zimmer is a favourite with band members.
The energy exchange, Floor was encouraged.
I'm sure this will go down in musical history.
I love who you are. You are a person I could hang with, for sure. =)
Also, the whole Wacken 2013 Nightwish show is amazing, from beginning to end. I recommend starting with the opening track (Dark Chest of Wonders) and making your way through in order. You won't be disappointed.
thank you, great reaction! You are awesome. You are probably hear Nightwish Tarja(1996-2005) or Anettea era(2007-2012), Current(in this video) singer is Floor Jansen 2012->. One my favorite is Last ride of the Day(live Masters of Rock 2015)
It starts like Ravel's Bolero when the newest instruments join the introduction. Masterpiece.
Yes, the crecondo is awesome. In both Masterpieces
Another soul snatched by the Valkyrie Godess
New to your channel and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. It’s nice to hear your perspectives on the music, the performance, the technical side. It’s also great to watch your reactions throughout the video. They are genuine and I appreciate that.
BTW, you have a beautiful smile! 😊
Thank you so much! ☺️
AT THE END WHEN SHE GOES INTO FULL BEADT MOAD I LOKEN HERE TO A OLD AMERICAN MUSICAL CAR MUSTANG
Glad you decided to react to this band,This is with their 3rd singer Floor Jansen,a 6’1” Dutch vocal beast..They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,hope you decide to dip your toe into some more..if you do then definitely use Gabriel’s list as it has the best quality videos performance and audio wise.👍
I am so incredibly glad I have fallen into this incredible rabbit hole!
they have a 100+ songs catalogue, so i have some 100+ next recommendations for you ;)
they very next is "Storytime", same concert
Hi there, I loved your reaction!
Nightwish is my absolute favorite band and it makes me so happy every time I see a new reactor find, or in tour case rediscover Nightwish.
This song is special and it is a true wirk of art. I can’t listen to it without getting goosebumps all over my body and have tears building up in my eyes. It is so amazingly beautiful that it’s just to much to handle but in a good way.
I actually saw them live a couple of years ago and that experience was out of this world. They are by far the best live act I have seen.
And the end note of this song has pure magic! There is something special about that note and how she does it. And even though she does it a little differently every time it always gets the same result, goosebumps, tears and without breath.
If I were to recommend something it would be their cover of Phantom of the opera from Amsterdam 2022, becuase that’s from the show I was at.
If you want another band to watch I recommend Sabaton and their song Christmas Truce.
They are a swediah metal band that does songs about war history. This song is about an unofficial truce that took place during the first world war.
There is a Nightwish connection aswell becuase the drummer is married to ghetto wonderful singer you just listened to.
And be sure to watch the ending and see if you can apot the hidden suprise. Just listen closely.
Have a nice day!
Great reaction!! I just discovered Nightwish back in May, and missed their post COVID Toronto date :-( , thanks to another reaction channel. Since then I've probably watched Ghost Love Score at least 100 times now (original and reactions) and never gets old. And 10min flies by. I was quick to get the Wacken 2013 Blu-ray. I envy those that were at that concert.
Awesome - subd for the Nightwish journey 🤘
Thank you for a great reaction to a GREAT SONG , Greetings from nwAse Sweden
Hello GINX. Nice reaction thanks. I would like to say the name of a guy who, even without being on stage, is a determining factor in Nightwish concerts. His name is Kimmo Ahola and he is, in my opinion, one of the best sound engineers ever.
Yay, thank you for sharing about Kimmo Ahola, I will be checking out more info!
80,000+ people at this show.
welcome to symphonic metal brought to you by Nightwish quite powerful music and live performances are top notch ladies & gentlemen the breakdowns enjoy so much power, symphonic metal at its finest
OMG you had summoned Gabriel....so, you are in a rabbit hole. Be Welcome!!!
Love your comments and instant passion, your mood and feelings about. Thank you. Really apreciate.
Thank you! ☺️
Great reaction
Greetings from 🇳🇱 🤘
Thank you ☺️
"Its like a Pirate had a baby with an Angel" applies to Thor and Floor because they're both gods and they both came to earth from Asgard.
I found them randomly on UA-cam in 2020. Amazing! I was lucky enough to see them live in NYC in 2022. So Good!
So cool!
A few informations about Wacken: It's a small village in Northern Germany with less than 2000 inhabitants. Once per year in August the Wacken Open Air is held there, the largest annual Open Air Metal festival in the world - the whole village gets involved in the festival. In the early days some of the older people where opposed to the festival but by now pretty much everyone supports it and is proud of the festival.
The flaming Bull head you see in the video is not related to Nightwish specifically, the bull head is the logo of the Wacken open Air.
Speaking of pronounciation - W is pronounced like you'd pronounce a V (while a V in German is pronounced like you'd pronounce a softer spoken F and the F in German is just a little harsher F in American English). As for the A...think about pronouncing it like you'd pronounce it in words like car.
Oh wow, thank you for the great info!
You'r smile says it all, i hope you will continue this journey and i will follow along the way. So...new sub!
Thank you so much!!☺️
All mighty Floor got the next one under her Spell
The performance....
You seemed to go crazy over it during the video....and so rightfull!
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
This is called Symphonic Metal and one of the Titans of that genere !!!
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen (third and current singer) is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
And the master of this magic is:
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
We hope, that there is more coming.
NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Floor has toured 2 different times at 5 to 6 months pregnant, 2016 & again in 2023 at the age of 42 last year.
Well, you've scratched the surface of what this band can do, let alone Floor.
Lots of different things to experience yet, as Gabriel's list will have hinted to you.
A couple of things to say:
- You might be interested in watching the Gear Gods video on Nightwish's equipment, available on YT
- Note that the bass player, Marco, was also a lead singer for the band until he left just a few short years ago
- Note also, that Marco did post-production sound mixing for this show

It depends on how long ago you previously heard Nightwish. This singer, Floor Jansen joined mid tour in late 2012 and is able to sing every song by the two earlier singers, Tarja (operatic 1996-2005) then Anette (pop 2007-2012). This is considered to be a definitive moment in Nightwish's history as Floor was with band only ten months and totally nails it.
Is there more invested in the audio/video recordings of Nightwish live recordings than in band recordings in general? Sometimes you hear that live video feels like you would be at the gig yourself , but it's like comparing oranges and apples, they are different products. At a gig, you have one "camera angle", probably an obstacle to visibility, and the audio depends on where you are towards the audience. The sound of the music video has been tried to be as perfect as possible, and the best parts of the performance, from facial expressions to pyrotechnics are cut into the video.On the sofa at home, you can choose whether to watch a video the size of a postage stamp on a phone or on a home theater system on a big screen with hi-fi sound and you can choose the "correct" version of the song.
"Her voice! ..."
So symptomatic, that you almost sadly complained about her voice :)) (8:22)
ust a few unrelated comments: Love your authentic reaction! Crowd surfing is how they get to the restroom. :) Floor has musical theater training. If your memories of Nightwish are old enouh, this may be the first time you've heard our spectacular Floor. And the drums may be well mic'd and mixed, but Jukka is also the best drummer they've ever had. They now have Kai, who is excellent, but Jukka brough a real flair and drama to the proceedings.
Thank you for all of this!
Wow, great reaction. Thank you. Greetings from nothern Germany.
Thank you very much!
Thought I recognised a fellow ADD’er :) Enjoyed your vibe. Keep it up!
love the moment i can see your spine chill just like mine :D
Thanks for your very enthusiastic reaction❣️
Don't worry about the exact tech specs. We can watch Tank The Tech if we care about it. People in the business make some of the best reaction channels.
I'm glad you decided to continue your Nightwish journey. Whilst Wacken 2013 was an amazing concert/performance, you shouldn't overlook the band's many other stellar live shows. I'd suggest:
Last Ride of the Day - ua-cam.com/video/kAFxLXqP8UM/v-deo.html
The Greatest Show on Earth - ua-cam.com/video/qrMwxe2ya5E/v-deo.html
The Islander - ua-cam.com/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/v-deo.html
I Want My Tears Back - ua-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/v-deo.html
Yours is an Empty Hope - ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html
Hope this helps!
I was there and it was not of This WORLD!
I cannot even begin to imagine!🔥🔥🔥
Nightwish , Wacken ,Germany , Live :)
Epica !!!!! Simone is opera trained!
Floor Jansen the Dutch goddess of metal awesome ❤❤
Good morning from Austria 🤟 i cant await your next reaction, abo done 🤟🫶🤟
Great reaction! I would suggest that you should use word "reaction" on your title and/or description, because YT search didn't show this video in my results, until just now. I usually check new reactions one to twenty...or maybe even more times per day. Yeah, I know it's pathetic, but especially few days back when we had -30°C for days and my shoulder is total wreck, I sometimes have nothing else to do. Anyway. I suggest that you continue with Nightwish. Every song is different, some are much heavier, some are softer, some folkier...and few are this kind of crazy huge epic masterpieces like this one.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! And that is a great suggestion, I will make sure to add “reaction” to the video descriptions🙂
Floor stands a tad under 6-2 in bare feet, and she's wearing 4 to 5 inch heels here....she is the Valkyrie Goddess.....Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist, co-founder (in 1996), leader, guru, composer, lyricist, arranger, and producer of 95% of the band's music....he is the Metal Mozart.....audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000.....this entire show is available on DVD and UA-cam, under the title of "Showtime, Storytime"......hello from the Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA
Amazing Nightwish....
Another amazing all female metal band. With enormously good mixing of the live sound. Is the powermetal/Trash group Lovebites.
Check out any of their live videos here on UA-cam.
A suggestion is Hammer of wrath, or Nameless Warrior...
The latest concerts are all recorded in high res blueray quality. And they are also amazing technical musicians. Another metal genre than Nightwish but also amazing.
And phenomenal live sound...
An absolute recommendation..
Just like Nightwish has their fanbase "Nightwish Army" Lovebites have theirs..:
"Wolfpack" I am a proud part of both. Saw Nightwish live in Stockholm 2023 with a late pregnant Floor doing an amazing show. Nightwish new album coming later this year.
Btw Lovebites latest album from 2023 was called one of the best powermetal/trash albums of the year.
Im a new subscriber to you from today...
Love from Stockholm Sweden/ Jonny
Thank you for subscribing and the great suggestions!☺️
Annnnnnnnd her soul is gone. Snatched away by our 6'1" Valkyrie Goddess.
#facts 🤭😅
Welcome to the rabbit hole ❤ try also epica and sabaton and dream theatre
I am so glad to have fallen into the Nightwish rabbit hole!
Oh and I am a massive Dream Theater fan, have seen them live a few times and they are just absolutely incredible, and Jordan Rudess is an awesome human
This is the 13th song in the set. BTW - I've seen several bands with what seems like white paper taped to the stage. What is it for? It can't be lyrics surely. Just curious. Is it to mark rough positions?
In most cases the papers on the stage are a set list for each band member to refer to
Ya she never reacted to a slowed down version of this. Which so many have without realising.
Those Nightwish reaction videos keep popping up... Maybe it's because I have some of their songs in my playlist.
Used to be a stagehand for some 14 years, I've worked with them (actually exactly that members). It was a much smaller venue, nevertheless the concert was a blast. And yes, putting together Jukka's drumkit micing it was kind of a challenge.
But beside all that, let me tell you that you are the hottest soundguy I know of 😁
Oh, so very cool that you got to work with them!!!……and regarding the hottest sound guy compliment😅…why thank you🤭
here are two more of my favorite Floor covers on here own!

You are great 🤟
The Biggest concert ive seen was indoors at Earls Court in London 60.000 approx the Pink Floyd Pulse tour 1994 . Im too heavy to crowd surf prob do some people a injury if i did LOL
Oh wow that is awesome, what an experience that must have been….
lol, and fair enough, that would not be an enjoyable experience because you would be concerned for all involved…lol, tho I have witnessed people try, regardless 😅…and yeah, it doesn’t turn out well😳…I also forget that I’m pretty freakin small, especially in a large crowd🤭
O YE EVER DREAM SE VEN DAYS TO THE WOLVES
