Alright guys, so I forgot about this one.. until the drums kicked in. 😂 It's a good think we're doing performance reactions (even to songs I should be familiar with) cause this one is too good to forget!
Don't forget to leave me a request! 🎵

I'll be here for any nightwish, repeats or otherwise
Yay! Glad to hear it! 😁
Kai Hahto has been there drummer since 2014 so yes he was the drummer at Wembley 2015 also .
I am a Christian but I totally agree with Toumas and what the lyric`s are saying. People pervert any religion or idea, a sad thing to behold.
"Why haven't I been listening to this?" Good question! This is one of my all-time favorites, specifically this version, though the Wembley version is good too. Kai was on both versions, but he doesn't play exactly the same in both versions. I definitely prefer his drumming in this version. Love Floor's theatrics in this version too! 🤘🤟
I had to go back and watch and I agree, I like this version better! ☺️
Agreed this version is better. Not that wembley isn't good
"From words into war of the worlds, This one we forsake with scorn" ... gives me chills everytime I hear Marko's powerful vocals.
Makes me pick up the pace @ the gym
On my top 5. Lyrics are great ❤️
Weak Fantasy id no 6 on my favourites list and is superb, particularly in the Tampere version.
Marco is really good...
You have not seen it with a different drummer.
This song, being anti-organised religion, caused a lot of controversy.
Here are some band comments about that:
MARCO: What comes to the new lyrics,
"Weak Fantasy" was the only one that
actually hints at ancient tribal literature
We obviously realized that religion is a
touchy subject and that we'd have to carefully consider the tone of the lyrics. It's still funny that you can publicly criticize and mock art and politics as much as you want, as well as artists and politicians but when you stick your finger in the hornet's nest of religion.. uh-oh.
TROY: We were working on "Weak Fantasy" for quite a while. Tuomas originally used more direct, aggressive metaphors, but in the end, we decided to opt for a more ambiguous tone. Some people might still find "Weak Fantasy" confrontational, but you can have different interpretations
as well. The wisdom is in the eye of the
beholder.
TUOMAS: We discussed this stuff with the band for hours on end, and everybody stood behind the lines in Weak Fantasy" for instance. In Nightwish, I have never felt the need to neither rebel nor preach, and that hasn't changed, but if the listener
stops to consider different viewpoints
because of our music, that's always great.
There's never enough open, intelligent, and unprejudiced discussion in the world.
Marco- There's obviously nothing wrong with leaning a higher power per se.
A belief in something supernatural can comfort you and help you get
through the day.
But its just horrible when people use ancient religions as an excuse for their own utterly condemnable acts or to instigate senseless indiscriminate hatred towards others. Blind fundamentalism seldom leads to anything good, whether you bow
to Allah. Jahve, Jesus, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or something else.
TROY: As the wisdom goes, if you could
reason with a fundamentalist, there
would be no fundamentalists.
TUOMAS: It's only during the last years
that l've started to question my own religious stance. Why have I been a Lutheran and believed in the kind of God Lutherans do? It's simply because I was born in Finland in the 1970's. In another culture, in another time, there would have been another god above others. In 10th century Denmark, I would have worshipped Odin and Thor. If I'd been born North Korean, I would've been forbidden to believe in any kind of Supreme Being
In other words: what you believe in - or
what you think you believe in - is based on pure coincidence.
TROY: It's baffling, but some of my friends are actually afraid that I will be cast intothe fiery pits of hell. I can only compare these dear friends of mine to chain smokers in this respect: they know it's unhealthy, but they still refuse to quit.
I don't understand why people
believe in something without any
proof, yet laugh at other similar beliefs
- I mean, if I were to claim that you can
live to be 150 by eating just yoghurt, nobody would believe me. They would ask me for some kind of proof and research findings. Why can't they apply this logic universally?
TUOMAS: To be precise, I consider my-
self an agnostic atheist. I don't believe
in God, so that makes me an atheist
How do I know that God does not exist?
I don't, but neither does anybody else.
That's why I am also an agnostic. To
confess that you do not know some-
thing is actually an intelligent and
constructive stance. It makes you humble, unlike a blind belief in something unproven
MARCO: We had just returned from an
18-month hiatus, so everybody was itching to make some noise again even to rehearse! It's always interesting to play new material, because new songs are not in muscle memory yet.
I'm using a double-neck instrument for "Weak Fantasy" for example, and there's a moment when I have to leave the bass humming, turn on the guitar, and, on a certain eighth note quickly grab the other neck. You have to
practise these things quite a bit to be able to play them with confidence.
Thank you for sharing that! It was a nice morning read for me. 🌄 And after that I really don't see anyone can be that upset with Nightwish. Yeah, they share their views but in the most polite and respectful way, I think.
Tribal is similar to Weak Fantasy, I don't know if you've already reacted (There's a new live video of Tribal with images from the last tour).
My favorites.
Same drummer for this song every time, also in the Wembley show, Kai Hahto. This is from Endless Forms Most Beautiful album so Jukka wasn't the drummer anymore.
Ooh okay. Yeah I was thinking Jukka. 🤦🏻♀️
Ooooh I absolutely love this song!
It's so good!
@@nikkireviews Yes cuutypie hehe ;)
😉
Masterpiece. Those lyrics..Oh man 🔥🤘❤️
TAMPEREEE! WHAT a show! Greetings from nwAse Sweden
Figured you would remember the song when Kai's drum intro kicked in. Song is on the , current at the time, Endless Forms Most Beautiful album. Yep, definitely a headbanging song, lol. Yeah, you got it, the 'negative aspect', a criticism of the negative aspects of organized religion.
Next up at Tampere , a song you know very well, "Storytime".
Yeah, the drums are unforgettable. 🥁 And yeah, I saw Storytime was next when I was checking the setlist. I always get excited for that one no matter how many times I've heard it!
Hail to the Queen , the Poet, The Riff Maker, The Groove Master, The Piper of Heaven and the Beat Lord !
Kia was with the band at Wembley.🤘🎸Thank you, Nikki! Another excellent reaction!🎸🤘💯
Jukka was the original drummer, I think he had a problem with insomnia, He is still involved with the band. As far as watching multiple concert`s watch Ghost Love Score from this venue it is one of the best.
Oh really? He's still involved? I don't think I knew that. 🤔 Yep, Ghost Love Score will be coming up in a few weeks. That's one of my faves!
@@nikkireviews Aways one of my favorite, Your Nightwish Wednesday bring joy to me. ps I watched this concert last Saturday for the like the 50th time I have the Blu-ray Vehicle of Spirit which has Wembley concert also
nice, I have the NW songs Live 2-3x on my List because all are a little diff. ( and the studio vers of course😉)
I can understand that! It's a good thing they mix it up every time though, makes it fun!
Rock on Nikki 🤘🤘
They were super fortunate to be blessed with both Jukka and Kai…two phenomenal drummers who melded so perfectly with this phenomenal band and Kai is in Beast Mode in this song..as usual🤘
Floor pop jansen 🤮😊
Nightwish should be sponsored by Bose a normal sound system just can't do them justice
That would be great lol
My shop system is a combination of Peavey and Klipsch Professional PA gear. My current favorite Nightwish song is also my neighbor's current favorite.
@@craigbolton5093 🤣🤣🤣
One of the best descriptions of people’s relationship with religions I’ve read.
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job again
Thank you! 💛
Accd. to Marko (who wrote a good chunk of both the music and the lyrics of this song), the song is about the restrictions and oppression by the book religions. (channel FaceCulture here on YT, interview Marco part 1 from 2015-02-23)
Same drummer.
Hello Nikki, greetings from UK
This was another great reaction, thank you 🥰
I was here for Wembley,, of course 😁
I have read in previous reaction comments that people said that this song was composed when all across the news there were stories about how the Catholic Church had been abusing young kids. I see this as not anti-religion but more of a cautionary tale
Nice response Nikki as always😉. This is also the most beautiful version🤘
Thank you so much. 💛 and yeah, very beautiful version! 💫
Marko co-wrote this song. Nightwish Arena does a great job with Nightwish videos. Tuomas is Openly secular. When he uses Christian imagery it is used metaphorically.
You are correct. he is not anti religion. He only hopes for a more positive and loving spirituality. Don't peach fear to control the masses. Celebrate life and don't fear death. It is the natural ending of a beautiful and hopefully fulfilled life.
Thx Nikki !! I love this version and those single stank face hair whips by Floor … awesome !! 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
Thank you for watching! And yeah, the hair whips always get me! 😂 So fun to watch.
👍👍😎😎🤘🤘
Great song and great reaction. Thank you for your company a few minutes again.❤🎉 Cheers from a finn in Sweden
Thank you for watching! And wow, from Sweden! 😁
🤩👍💥💯🎼
🤘😎💙🎶
😁🥁💫💛🎵
Feel free to"forget" this song again 😂😂. I will listen!😂. Thanks, until the next one, bye!!
Well said Nikki, if it was necessary for the band, for Tuomas in particular, then its valid and justified - simple as that.
Tampere Finland. Kiitos.
🤘
🤘🏻😁
First
