Breaking Absolutes is new a hard rock and heavy metal interview show launching as a premiere partner on Twitch this April. More than simply a platform for artists to share their upcoming release, Breaking Absolutes endeavors to peel back the stereotypes and go deeper on the musicianship, the value, and the innovative and broad-reaching emotional appeal of hard rock and heavy metal. Show creators intend Breaking Absolutes to help lead a revival in the interest and consumption of the genre.
Show host, Peter Orullian, is a music industry veteran, having spent years working with major labels and artists to showcase their music across multiple networks and platforms. Some of this work was done with the Xbox platform and brand, where Orullian drove visibility for artists to the gaming demographic. Orullian has also been an international touring vocalist, in addition to recording efforts as a writer and producer for his own music. This enables Orullian to speak with authenticity to working musicians. Orullian is also a veteran interviewer across multiple artist mediums, and is known for insightful and entertaining discussion that builds desire and interest for those with whom he speaks.
I saw a comment regarding a short audio issue early in my chat with Floor. Not sure if this is pervasive, so I've uploaded an alternate as a failsafe: ua-cam.com/video/JbiTuE3rxW8/v-deo.html
What an exceptionally good and intelligently managed interview. Every minute was interesting. Away from the standard of superficial questions, towards going into depth. I think Floor also felt very comfortable.
Thank you very much for this version, there are no problems with subtitles here.
@@TomTomson81 Thanks, Coyote, that's certainly what I strive for.
Floor is the greatest vocalist I have ever heard, the woman is perfection for my ears.
Hey so....how does one become a ranking member of the army? Just curious.
And one hell of a good human! The world needs more Floor!
when the heart is in the right place holding on doesnt seem that bad, must protect that
Floor can come out of this pandemic with her head held high. She has given so much to us all, be it her Storytime films, Fan Fridays, numerous cover versions and songs, all released for free viewing on various platforms. She has provided so much relief through music. She has reacted positively and helped people through these tough times. Particularly from a mental health standpoint. Some of these things may appear small in the grand scheme of things but to someone struggling with anxiety or depression could be just what they needed that day.
Regardless of how many stellar albums she goes on to release, I for one will never forget these smaller things she did out of the goodness of her heart.
When you keep an artist of this caliber smiling and engaged the whole time to the point where she lets you go over time, you've won them over. The Invisible Circles topic is what I think really got the ball rolling since Floor hasn't talked about her AF days in years especially with someone familiar with her career. Not surprising she was so open about her burnout, she clearly enjoyed the talk. Thanks for treating this talented lady the way she deserves to be treated Peter. 🤘
I am so grateful that she was willing. One way I wanted to honor her talent was by trying to cover as many of her accomplishments as I could.
Lockdown has had a huge silver lining for me as I discovered Nightwish and Floor, what an amazing woman and band.
Floor is a once in a lifetime discovery for me. I really appreciate the interview, well done. Floor radiates so much beauty and positivity. Amazing woman :)
Peter, this is not an interview, it is friends talking. Compliments to you both for this. What I love about Floor is how honest and open she is, no single moment she gives the impression she is more then a great woman who is just in her place, never a hint of being this 'big star' and always simply being down to earth herself. One of the biggest female voices in the world at this moment who still just records some vocal masterclasses and share them on her UA-cam for everybody to use. And your questions and interview style making this just a wonderfull conversation. Thanks to both of you
Thank you, Robert! I appreciate the kind words. And I agree whole-heartedly with you about Floor. Class act in every regard.
She is Dutch ;)
Watching and hearing Floor for 90 minutes is such a treat. She's such a beautiful human being.
Fantastic interview with a world treasure.
The most beautiful person in the universe.
Thank goodness Tuomas and Floor collaborate to produce such emotions.
I was at the concert in the Netherlands, it was great! Floor was beaming, we were beaming, went home so happy🤩
Man..thank you for this..Love Floor Jansen
Floor is so fantastic. Ive never seen anything like her, and I probably never will again !!!!
Floor has a solid backbone and shes open and honest. Thats much moore you can say about most politicians today. I am lifting my hat for her! Thanks for this interview.
Agreed!
"music is fuel for the soul" Holy words!!! Love Floor and Nightwish👌
Never in my life I was made to cry so much because of one singer. There's something with Floor, not only with her voice and singing skill but also with her whole characters.
Our dutch queen Floor Jansen is just perfect in everything...We love her..
6Ft Valkyrie Goddess of Metal.
Nevertheless always standing with her feet on the ground, always friendly to everybody, such a great and nice person, beautiful woman !
Floor the best singer i ever heard .. She's amazing the real Queen of metal !!! Tuomas the Mozart of metal !!!
Thank you for this great and long talk with my Queen Floor .🤘👍
It is always encouraging to hear Floor discuss her time during her burnout. Although I’m not a musician, I’ve been experiencing a horrible burn out with my career (a large part is due to understaffing). It’s so hard on the mind and body to take on so many tasks without any help or relief. Although I continue to endure my burnout during this time, my discovery of Floor and Nightwish have forever changed my life and they have truly saved my life over the last year. Thank you for this great interview!
Floor looks stunning 😍😍😍
Floor !!! 💕💕💕 Imagine having Floor as your teacher.
Hi Peter. Wow, first Tuomas, now Floor. What a treat! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for this wonderful interview.
Thanks, Martine! I'm grateful to them that they made time to chat with me!
@@peterorullian Please add a subtitles that is in the UA-cam video.
@@hamohamo8270 I just tried to do it to this video. I'm not sure if it will work, or if I'm not understanding how to do it. But I'm trying.
@@peterorullian I think that they (as well as us listeners) appreciate the fact that these are not the standard interviews with the predictable questions!
I forgot to mention that I loved reading your book 'The Sound Of Broken Absolutes'.
It was much easier telling Peter and Floor apart than Peter and Tuomas 😂
Great interview, both from the side of the interviewer as from Floor: good questions, very personal responses 👸👍
What a wonderful interview..she was so relaxed as she told us about her life..you were on point and lovely too. ..from this newbie Nightwish..Floor fan..since Dec 2021.
Thank you so very much!
My god I am so in love with this woman.
My Queen of Metal! The UNIQUE Floor Jansen!
Oh no the sound of her mic isn’t on 😭 oh how unfortunate…but it is still a blessing to see her!!! Wow!!! Our Queen!! Thank you for this interview! You’re awesome! I’ll sub just because I think you’re very knowledgeable, and I actually learned something here! Thank you so so so much for posting this! I’ll be meeting her and Nightwish, next May in NYC, 2 days before my bday!!! This year I got the huge signed print (number 45/100) for my bday! So I’m elated to say the least!!! Thank you again!! ❤️ JJRXS
Thanks, Just Jen! :) I pinned a comment above with a duplicate that has full audio, if you missed anything. Cheers!
Superb. Have only seen Floor live once, with Nightwish in 2016, but have been a fan of hers for years. Large signed photo of Herself over the Yamaha synth in my music room.
I am going to Echo what a lot of others have said in these comments. This is one of the best interviews I've seen. It is by far the best interview I've seen with Floor.
My only Issue with Floor Is that she has damaged my ability to appreciate other female singers. I keep comparing their sound to hers and they keep coming up short. It's actually become a bit of a problem for me.
Thank you! Was an honor to spend some time in conversation with Floor.
Same here. I'm like yeah, you can sing that pretty good, maybe as good but can you also sing this and that and.... sing like that or grunt, all combined within a 10 minute song? Nah...
One of the best interviews I have seen with Floor. Well researched.
Brave of Floor to talk about mental health and her struggles. I now have even more respect for her. 'Burnout', depression, and many other complications from mental health complications are far more common than we know, yet few talk about it. Brave souls like Floor make the struggle human, so everyone can see they are not alone. Thank you Floor. My son and I am eternally thankful for you and others who share their experiences.
THE WORLD NEEDS MORE FLOOR!
Thank you, Mike. And agreed, regarding your sentiments about Floor.
Thank you very much, this conversation was a wonderful surprise, but it is actually no surprise what a natural and down-to-earth personality Floor is and remains. So I hope and wish only the best for Floor and her family and musical environment, which she can master for herself forever in a balanced way, so of course we can unselfishly continue to receive and enjoy a little.
I actually keep my YT consumption low, but of course I always enjoy such conversations, Floor, Nightwish, Ayreon and ... other similar soul helpers.
I'm also someone who's still hoping for Northward II, but of course I'll catch the solo album and everything else too. Thanks again to both of you and all the best.
90 minutes? Such a gift, we really appreciate this man. And you are a great interviewer.
Thank you! And thanks to Floor for sparing so much time.
Great interview! What a treat!! Thank you Peter, thank you Floor!!
Thank you!
oh yes! Fantastic interview. 90 glorious minutes! Thanks Peter and Floor!
Really enjoyed this. Good questions, & Floor always seems to be fully open to answer, & expound... guess that comes from storytelling. Glad she & NW are back out there. 🤘💥
You’re welcome!
@@peterorullian , I have watched all three of the NW interviews, EXCELLENT! Loved Troy’s, he is quite a personable character, of great talent! Tuomas has of course, the quiet genius.
Only Floor got me tearing up when singing....
great talks, you're a hell of interwiewer....what a kindness and sincerity from you and i love floor she's so natural and her smile.....kisses from france
Thank you, Christophe. That means a lot to me. And Floor is, of course, insightful and enjoyable to chat with.
Great interview with an endlessly lovely, charming and obscenely talented lady, I learned a few new things and I've seen a ton of interviews with Floor.
Awesome job Peter!👍😁
Floor...You are the best, period.🤘💖😁
Thank you, Hexley!
Charismatic Sweet wise strong disarming beautifull Floor , makes us al very proud !
Totally agree/helemaal mee eens!
1 hour and an half of Floor? Omg subscribed before listening.
Ahaha, thank you!
@@peterorullian Listened during my lunch break, really good job, thank you and Floor, I really enjoyed.
Same!
@@Fabi72g You are welcome!
@@Babewatcherbob Thanks, Bob!
Best interview EVER! Thank you for asking good questions and discussing interesting topics, rather than the same old, same old. I'm sure Floor appreciated it, too.
Thank you! That's what I strive for!
Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Floor Jansen. Same sentence!
Excuse me sir? Is that a ranking order?
Breaking Absolutes is a must see!! Dream Theater, Russell Allen and now Floor Jansen. I just live these open talks about subjects that can be difficult to approach. Thank you Peter for your kind and genuine way of talking with an artist. As for Floor Jansen I am always amazed by her and sometimes I am at lost for words. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for saying this. Means a lot to me!
What I like the most about your interviews is that by starters you come prepared and familiarize with the work of the person you will interview and you give us a semblance in case we don't know them.
Another thing I appreciate a lot is that you don't go for sensational questions, but for a conversation, and you dedicate enough time to let the person you are interviewing express themselves freely and in as much deep as they are willing too.
Thank you again for such an interesting interview
Thank you, Nass. I appreciate that you notice. Cheers!
What a wonderful conversation between two beautiful people. Passion, skill and respect. An oasis of beauty and sensitivity in a sometimes so incomprehensible world full of pain. Thank you so much. And Floor see you at the show on Thursday in 's Hertogenbosch yeah!
Thank you, Agnes!
Okay this has to be the Greatest interview i have ever seen. So kind and friendly questions. Congrats mr Peter👏Floor seems such a loveely person. I'm logging to meet her in person😊
Thank you for your kind words!
Great talk! Hope you feel better soon Floor, we really want you to be here in the Netherlands performing on Thursday ❣️
Can’t wait to hear all that you just talked about.
Much love to you both💞 Thank you for this!😍
Flooooooor you have no idea how positively you affect my life, especially the songs you wrote in After Forever, you are my queen and I just adore you, thank you for the emotions!!!
Only today I discovered this amazing talk with Floor! I've known Nightwish since Sleeping Sun, but only became a true fan since I look with another eyes to Floor'work, during the pandemic crisis. I've seen her in some interviews before, but this one is, by far, the best! Thank you, Peter! 🤘 I'll be watching more of you wirk soon 😊
Thank you so much!
Her album with Nightwish are the best Nightwish albums. Tuomas really wrote so beautiful songs for Floor, really love them. Thank you for a wonderful interview, could have listen for another hour though, but thank you :)
You're welcome, and thank you!
wow, what a lovely interview. you did such a wonderful job, it realy felt like the time flew by, like a relaxing teatime chitchat with a friend!
Floor is so lovely ❤️ Good interview, thank you!
Thanks, Krzysiek!
What an intelligent and beautiful Woman 😍. After this interview, I have a loads of notes and information to process, and learn from it 🤘😎🤘.
Nightwish Shadow Unit From Estonia!
Thank you so much for this nice interview! 😀 I am a lucky one to be able to go to her show on Thursday!☺️ Take care everyone!
You are welcome!
Really interesting interview! Thank you !!
I cannot wait until November when I will see Nightwish for the first time with Floor, I know the whole Covid thing has cause me a lot of issues with my mental health, Music is such an important part of my life and the whole live music scene in the UK has been pretty much closed for 18 months. I watched the virtual shows but they will always fall short of real live music
A wonderful interview, it really feels like two friends talking. Just perfect ❤
Thank you, Peter!
Excellent! Great job with your questions - not the usual pablum of normal interviews but questions that were well thought out and meaningful. Kudos. And Floor - more proof that although she is a Goddess, she is also a beautiful and humble human being - although listening to her sing, I wonder sometimes if she really is human.
Thank you! And agree with everything you said about Floor.
what a fantastic woman
Fantastic intervieuw, great how you talk about it al, this was a fantastic time watching and listning to the both of you
Great interview. It was very interesting from start to finish. I enjoyed finding out some things I didn’t know about Floor and you knew just what to ask. For your own further reference, Js in Dutch are pronounced like Ys. Being an American, when I first started listening to Nightwish I thought it was pronounced Jansen too. While watching the interviews on Beste Zangers I realized her name is pronounced Yansen. 😄🤘
I can't believe I accidentally stumbled upon this! I loved the interview with Tuomas but I had no idea that one with Floor would follow. Awesome! You are an excellent host, and I think Floor had enjoyed the entire conversation. It's great to see how much she has to share, given the right occasions. Thank you so much for the interview!
Thanks, and you're welcome, Vlad!
WOW that was a great interview TY
Thanks for watching!
Agreed Robert!!! So excited to see this!!!
Such a great interview and great questions! Floor is just amazing🤍
Thank you, and yes she is!
25000 views for the Tuomas interview. 😁And within a day already 5300 views for Floor. Nightwish is the burner
They deserve it!
What a great interview Peter. Floor smiling for over an hour is good for all of us. Floor seems much more comfortable in interviews and public appearances nowadays , more like her sister Irene and I’m here for it . I’m happy she has found that recharge balance that is so important for highly sensitive people. Can’t help but love her!
Cheers mate 🤟
Thanks for this! Floor was so great to chat with!
I need to catch up on some of your interviews from the last couple of weeks but listening to Floor ofc took precedence. Nice talk and people, both of you. Thanks for this Tuesday night surprise.
Well,that was a great interview 👍👌
Greetings from the Netherlands and stay healthy ❤
Greetings to you, too! Stay safe!
Great interview with a special lady.Thankyou.
Thank you, Kezca!
...and my day went from really good to absolutely fantastic! Two humble souls met. Thank you both!
Thank you, Marcus!
This is such a great interview here! So nice to have this long friendly conversation to listen to.
Thank you, D!
Thank you and thank Floor for this interesting interview. She answered a lot of questions I had about her career, her technique and the evolution of her artistic vision over time. It was great 👍
Thank you! She is such a multi-dimensional artist, it was an honor to talk with her.
I'm gonna go to the show on thursday with my mother!! I'm so fucking excited!!
I'm going with my daughter tonight..really looking forward to it!
And hope to see Nightwish in November with my son.. yessss 🤘
Hey , Floor is not only a great musician, experience also made her a great person. Just like many of us, life makes us what we are now. Floor is no exception, in the contrary. That is why most of us like her: she is no Valkyry Queen, Floor is one of us! Yes, a person with a S#%t load of talent, but also a person that could have been your neighbor. A wonderful person.
Great interview Peter! Thank you so much.🙏👍
You are welcome!
Superb interview, or rather conversation - a big thank you to you both!
Thank you, Jonas!
Absolutely superb interview. Big compliments, and so great Floor could- en wanted to make so much time for your broadcast. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you, Paul!
The most down-to-earth, likeable, relatable goddess you'll ever meet.
Gifted and kind.
This was an absolute gem of a interview👍 Thank you very much. subscribed.
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Hi Peter It was a great interview. Floor is an awesome person. If you want more Floor Checkout her UA-cam Channel.
Thanks, Christina!
@@peterorullian I really like her UA-cam channel. Once in a while I try to get her more subscribers. The Virtual concert was Amazing
I was at her 2nd show in Portland and it was mindblowing
Floooor 😍
Such a hidden gem of a channel, let's hope you get the huge amount of subscribers that you deserve. Great work 🤘🏻
Thank you!
Fantastic interview, I love how grounded she is and how she speaks so well about such commonly overlooked issues like mental illness, it's great how you manage to make these chats so casually comfortable and less of the usual 'juicy magazine' feel if that makes sense. If you get the opportunity it'd be incredible to see you have a chat with Troy Donockley from Nightwish. He has such a down to earth, funny, interesting personality and his musicianship is out of this world. Definitely very well suited to a show like this!
Thank you for the kind words. I'll look into the possibility of chatting with Troy.
@@peterorullian Second that! Auri is releasing a new album in September so it would be good time to have a chat with Troy.
@@JackM. Chatting with Troy this Wednesday at 5 pm UK time, if you want to tune in live and even ask questions in the chat.
@@peterorullian Amazing. Well done, Peter!
@@peterorullian Is your live chat with Troy on UA-cam or Twitch?
What a aweaome interwiev. 😀
Didn't feel like an interview at all. This was a conversation and a journey through Floors being, experiences and development. Great stuff!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words!
Going to live-shows is food for my soul. This 18months has been so hard for me. Had many plans in 2020 but all was cancelled. Virtualshows arent for me, although I did an exception with Nightwish and bought a ticket to their virtualshow. It was nice, didint have the same effect, but it was nice. Support the band. I went to my first festival in 2y a week ago. I was in heaven for three days. I am fully vaccinated, have been over six months. Next gig is going to be in a month. Going to see our Eurovision entry 2021 blind channel!! Can’t wait!
I also have a ticket to Nightwish at the end of december.
About covid.. the delta-variant has spread like crazy in my hometown for the past two weeks. By the looks of it We didint get a ”normal summer” as They promised. It came from football-fans that went to russia. Great!
This was nice interview!
Thank you, Tapio!
I am not usually one for interviews but this one and the one you did with toumas kept me tuned in. Great job!!
❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏. Absolutely the best interview i've ever seen with our Valkyrie Goddess. Thank you sir.
Thank you for saying so, I really appreciate the kind words!
I love your interviews. It's a conversation which is so much more interesting than the same old questions. Thanks for your hard work.💜🤘
Thank you, Sarah. That means a great deal to me.
This is the 3rd time ive watched this interview....outstanding job.
Oh, wow, thank you! Very cool to hear!
Great interview, thank you very much !
After Forever!
Your channel is going to be very successful. You have a lot of skill in long form discussions. Keep up the great work!
Very kind of you to say, thank you!
Best interview ever, thanks to the both of you. I loved it.❤
Thank you, as well!
Great interview ! Thanks Peter !
Thanks, Alise!
Well….in a couple of hours I will attend the show…superhyped!! It’s in my hometown so I will be cycling to that…how Dutch is that?,…😉😂
