I've come along later, and the double version WAS still a surprise!! I realized I hit the Nightwish reaction motherload here on your channel and have just been letting them run down the line. Best comment of the video..."This argument is dumb!!" How true it is! On the scale of 1-10, with singers this good, its like arguing over who is 11,12, and 13.
The argument is dumb insofar that all 3 are obviously very talented. I don't think there are many fans that would disagree with that. But to say the argument only stems from the fans individual dedication to the singers is just wrong. Everybody that says that Anette with her rock/pop voice fits the Nightwish style is just crazy. Or deaf. So of course she is disregarded mostly, and the time from 2007-2012 is rightfully called the dark ages of the band. I mean, the band was unable to perform 50% of their songs because she could not sing them! Any argument over who is better between Floor and Tarja is very dumb tho, so there I am in agreement again.
It's ok to compare. Talking about the image, and the charisma: Tarja: The Ice Queen, Floor: The Valkyrie Goddess, Anette: Your Big/Little Sister. The "Anette Era" songs were still great, but I think most of the fans are happy that it's over.
Scaretale should be next. It's the month of Halloween. You have the 2 following weeks filled. You just got through complimenting Annette. This is widely considered in Nightwish Fan circles as being the definitive NW song for Annette. She quite literally owns this song.
One of my personal favourites of older Nightwish songs from the Tarja era is "Kinslayer", it has some really good Marko vocals in it. "Wish I had an angel" is also a very good one from that era. Really surprised I haven´t seen anyone recommendining these when talking about their older stuff.
@@sylxeria They should've released it as their first single (after Tarja) instead of Amaranth. I don't think there would've been as big a controversy then, tbh.
Good Job Tank. I really appreciated what you said. If there is one thing that bothers me the most is the sentence that many nostalgic Nightwish fans say : Nightwish without Tarja is done. As much as I love Tarja ( and I do love her very much... I mean how can you not love her ? )Nightwish is alive and kicking no matter who is the singer because Nightwish is a Tuomas' creation. Nightwish will live as long as Tuomas wishes. I have been a Nightwish fan for 18 years now and I remember well how I felt when I read the news that Tuomas had fired Tarja... How can I listen to new material without Tarja? I asked to myself. Then ' Dark Passion Play ' came out and I was mesmerized by the quality of the songs and the beauty of Anette's singing. I consider it that album a true masterpiece. You can like it or not but Tuomas needed to explore new musical landscapes no matter who was the singer. As you can see with the song ' The Poet and The Pendulum ' firing Tarja was one of the most difficult decision that Tuomas took in his own life but after this painful separtion he probably realized that he could even more easily explore new musical ideas and directions without her and with a new singer. And that's exactly what he did and especially what he did with the lastest album Human Nature. Tuomas is an artist and how can we fool ourselves in believing and hoping that he would have done the same album all over again during the span of 23 years ? Can we all peacefully agree on the fact we are extremely lucky to love a band that has had , no matter who the singer was , 9 very very good diversified albums ? Can we peacefully agree on the fact that we are extremely lucky to love a band that has had two of the most talented and skilled singers of all times in Tarja and Floor and a very very good one in Anette ?
The moment you've said about enjoying every era and every vocalist in their differences without comparing their skills... Oh, man! I LIKED immediately!
"This arguments dumb" Never were truer words spoken, with regards to that particular subject matter. They all brought something to the table. I love all 3 singers and I'm interested to see what else you will be reacting to soon from Nightwish. 🤘
Tarja & Marko played a Christmas concert, in Finland, in December of 2017. According to Tarja, that was the first time she'd seen Marko, since this concert. 12 years. They hugged on stage and spoke one on one for couple of hours, afterwards. According to Tarja & Marko... they mended their friendship.🤘
Tank you seriously won my respect with this one. You nailed the entire issue with the singer argument. It's so refreshing to see and hear someone appreciating Anette's contribution to the band. She had grown so much as a singer between Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum.
I'm super happy that you did Planet Hell and gave Jukka much well deserved love too (I was hoping you would catch him switching drumsticks mid-drumming, but it's hard if you don't know it beforehand). He often switches up the tempo and uses the double base in a clever way in a lot of songs which makes the effect even better. I also love Toumas throwback on his solo in the studio version to the fans of the "Oceanborns" album with "Stargazers" and "Gethsemane". In general, most reactors seem to react mostly to Floor, then they go to "Phantom of the Opera" to get a song from Tarja (and occasionally one more from "End of an Era"), but hardly noone dives deeper into their earlier stuff. You have already done some not-so-common stuff, with Planet Hell being one of those, but I would love to see you be the one who really goes back in time and explore more of their earlier material, mostly from 2001 with "From wishes to eternity". They really had a different sound there, much more fantasy-themed without the heavy guitar that mostly did it entrance on "Once" (and to some part "Century Child"), but with a lot of really beautiful solos. Here's quite a list of suggestions, but they are all gold in my eyes: * Ever Dream from End of an Era - My alltime favourite song, the song is just perfection (and the crescendo....!). * She is my sin from Wishes to Eternity - The song that made me love Nightwish, lots of energy and a great example of their "Wishmaster" sound. * Bless the Child from End of an Era - This one flies under the radar, but I remember Toumas saying back in the day that this was the most difficult song to play live. Also, Jukka goes full out on the showmanship/crowd interaction which he was known for. * The Kinslayer from WIshes to Eternity - Same as "She is my Sin", these two were the opening songs, you can't go wrong with a concert after that. * Dead boy's Poem fron Wishes to Eternity - A musical masterpiece and one of their first "epic" songs. * Fantasmic from Wishes to Eternity - A 3-part epic song. They played the third part live which is the most intense part, Toumas abandons his keyboards to be able to headbang full on. * Beauty and the Beast from Wishes to Eternity - We need some appreciation for a song from "Angels falls first", along with Tony Kakko as guest singer. * Sleeping Sun from End of an Era - This is THE Tarja song. Nuff said. Done? Not really. Here are some suggestions that are realy out there/almost forgotten, but you will find pure gold. * Swanheart from Wishes to Eternity - I have never seen anyone talk about it/suggest it, but if you like Sleeping Sun you should love this. It's just beautiful! I suggest listening to their Hans Zimmer cover of "Crimson Tide/Deep blue sea" leading into it. Musical perfection! * Walking in the air from Wishes to Eternity - I love that they made a cover of the song from "The Snowman" and also played it live. And I will finish off with a suggestion that I think is best for you to check out in private. From "End of an Era", check out "Stone People" directly followed by "Creek Mary's Blood". I found out only recently (late to the ball I guess?) that there were some controversies around the guest artist John Two-Hawks, so you might not want to cover that in a video, but the perfomance is really worth watching, and "Creek Mary's Blood" was the "epic song" from "Once". Ok, this became something. But I'm happy for every not-so-common reaction that you do and if you do anything "From Wishes to Eternity", I will be super happy. Keep up the great work Tank, I'm loving it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking my suggestion from last week!! This was the first Nightwish song I ever heard, back in 2005 in my grade 10 social studies classroom when a friend showed them to me. I fell in love with them because of this song, and 15 years later am still a huge fan. Thank you Tank!!
Welcome down to our...Planet...HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL! I'm so stoked that you reacted to this! Not being likely to find it yourself, I'm ecstatic that you listened to the suggestion and found the rocking badassery of Planet Hell. =D
I'm gonna do my very own "Tank note" for you, Tank. In the rehearsal version, in the Tuomas' keyboard solo, he played a little bit of two songs; one was "Stargazers", and the other was "Gethsemane", both songs from the album "Oceanborn". There's a very old live recording of "Gethsemane" with Tarja, and the "Decades" concert has Floor singing it. And "Stargazers" live at Tampere is also available. So... reacting to any of those songs may be a good option for next week.
First time hearing the Studio version with Anette, and I noticed Stargazers and Gethsemane right away: I jumped out of my chair yelling! xD And to think that I missed this version... Shame on me.
Tuomas prolly was alrdy at point of frusration as Anette just couldnt handle those songs so they werent able to perform those songs live...and he wanted to play them 😆!
I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned, but in Annete’s version, the keyboard part in the bridge is a mixture of melodies from two of their older songs “Stargazers” and “Gethsemane”. That throwback gets me a huge smile every time.
only real "issue" with Anette is she did struggle with various Tarja era songs... and I don't think she felt free enough to change up the style, in the way Floor has, where she belts a lot more than Tarja did. I think had she changed them up more to suit her own style and voice, it'd been better, but the haters would hate, regardless. Anette is a damn good singer, though, and the 2 album she did I love.
Anette is a great singer but I personally don't think she ever had the range to really be great for nightwish, however in the range she does have she is absolutely great, which is why the two albums she did were great although I personally for example think Floor handled the Poet and the Pendulum better (although Annette didn't sing it badly or anything) as imo it doesn't quite fit Anette's style. However more "folky" songs like the crow, the owl and the dove, ghost river and scaretale she absolutely rocked because those were perfect for her style.
Dope reaction man. Not sure if I was the commentor (as I did request this last week) but either way I appreciate you taking a look at this song dude. Planet Hell was the first song that I heard from Nightwish and got me to seek them out some 15yrs ago. Been a fan ever since.
I looooove that recording. It’d be fun to hear him react to some of the even older Nightwish stuff. I’m quite fond of The Pharaoh Sails to Orion from that performance.
@@TankTheTech Yes, "From Wishes to Enternity" is Nightwish's first live DVD. You can hear a lot of old songs at this concert. Tarja's vocals at this concert are simply amazing, it is different from what you hear at the "End of an era". I recommend Swanheart, Walking in the air, Dead boys poem, Fantasmic, Beauty and the beast, Pharion sails to orion from the concert "From Wishes to enternity".
Thanks for finally doing Planet Hell! It's definitely one of my all time favorite Tarja tracks. Might I suggest a song from their very first EP that most people forget about is 10th Man Down. This is the first song I ever heard from them and it definitely defined their style early on.
My suggestion for the last week before Poet: Dark Chest of Wonders - Wacken 2013. Or you can do another double special and include the version of End of an Era as well ;) It was the opener of both shows, absolutely killer.
"This argument is dumb" I agree, 100% Thanks so much for this reaction, I actually hadn't heard the version with Anette before, that was awesome, loved both :) Take care and stay safe Tank
Personally my preference on the singers has to do with how I feel their style fits a particular song. I prefer Tarja's version of Planet Hell, Anette's version of Amaranth, and Floor's version of Ghost Love Score. It's all just a case-by-case basis because each singer has their strengths. I think it's easy to get accustomed to a particular singer's style if you only listen to their versions, and then if you hear a different singer the differences in their style sound 'wrong'. From there it's easy to assume that it's because that singer is worse, not seeing that those differences can actually be strengths.
I like how Tuomas just randomly inserted Emppu's lead melody from Stargazers into his solo on the Anette version. Stargazers is the first Nightwish song I ever heard, and it's remained one of my favorite songs ever since.
Thank you so damned much for all these Nightwish Reactions. I have always loved them, but your reactions have given me a new connection to their music! I just sought out and ordered the 3 LP, 2 CD, and BluRay boxed set of "End of an Era" because of you. I can't wait to watch the whole thing, and put it on the turntable.
Scaretale would be a good choice since we're getting closer to Halloween. Annette's voice on this song is just otherworldly and fits perfectly. It would let you see some of Annette's work too.
Once again great video. I was surprised when you pointed out the pyro close against the backdrop. Even with fire codes and the resistant material, brought me right back to 2003 and the Rhode Island Station fire.
Dude, you got to listen to Nightwish - Master Passion Greed. The most heavy Nightwish song there is. The song is a "hate letter" pointed at Tarja's husband who was also the manager of Nightwish. They have never played the song live (and they never will) so there is only a studio version available.
Love this song. Always one of my go to ones on the treadmill. Someone did a video of this song that is a mashup of all three singers, and honestly it's probably the best version as it showcases all of their strengths.
Great reaction! Has it really been 13 already? Wow! Looking forward to seeing your reaction to Poet and the Pendulum... but until then: I would say, hmm... so many to choose from; ok I got one: Ever Dream!
Wow. I’ve never actually seen the rehearsal video before! I really enjoyed it and I loved how Tuomas put some lead bits from other songs in the solo. Was a nice surprise and they fit really well with the song!
Awesome Reaction Tank as Always... Love Tarja Era, Love Annette and I've my allegiance to Miss Floor Jansen Queen of Metal🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 excellent choices👍👍👍👍👍👍
"Why can't we just enjoy everything from everybody?" Cause that's now how people work... I mean, I really wish people wouldn't be so prone to picking sides at every possible moment, but the unfortunate reality is that they do...
Awesome reaction as always Tank. If you want to see Nightwish performing in the US, you could check out Sahara - Live in Tampa. Looking forward to Poet and the Pendulum too!
I agree! I like all three lead singers. Different, but They have Style of their own! My own favorite still is Tarja because I did join Nightwish community when she was the lead women, but I still enjoy the next two too! It is like the first love. It is somewhat special :) So please listen all three and enjoy the Ride!
I got the privilege to see them live at the Filmore in Denver when Floor had just joined. The whole night was amazing, but I hope they get to play Red Rocks. I would fly back home for that show in a heartbeat.
On the subject of Anette and since you only have 2 reactions left in October: you should do Scaretale. It's a very Tim Burton/Halloween ish style song and one that Anette really shines in. A very fun song.
Planet Hell? Now that's a song I haven't heard in a long time. I remember when I first got into Nightwish, just as End of an Era released (I blame my dad for showing me them too late to expirience the Tarja stuff) and this song blew me away. Really stoked for this reaction! Edit: yup, it's just as good as I remember it. And fuck yeah for doing the Anette version, I love her vocals! As i said earlier, I just got into Nightwish after Tarja left so the first record from the I got invested in was Dark Passion Play. With that in mind, you should check out "Bye Bye Beautiful". Straight up banger with Anette on vocals and a little surprise which I will explain when you're doing the song. But you should do the official music video to see that surprise ;) and the song kinda relates to Poet and the Pendulum, because it's basically a song about Tarja. This may give a little more context
Oh my Dad did, too ^^, he got me "Tales from the Elvenpath". And he wasn't even listening (and still isn't) to any metal, but got me into it with that CD :D
Song of Myself is a must. Jump back to Wacken 2013 for it, to come full circle, back to where you started your journey. Then off to Tampere for Poet. I guarantee the next two weeks of Nightwish are a tech's dream. So in awe of their production team.
I actually had no idea that rehearsal recording existed. Nice find! If you like this you’ll enjoy Slaying the Dreamer which was also done for the end of an era dvd.
Since I saw the name in the end credits: Janne Tolsa helped mixing this song and he plays with Marco in the band "Tarot". Marco's brother Zachary is also in this band. They have a live album "Undead Indeed" and it's epic. Since you like Marco, you might enjoy them too. Straight heavy metal :D "Tides" for a calmer experience, "Pyre of Gods" or "Warhead" for the full heavy metal experience. You won't regret it.
well Tank if you allow me i can help a little with the Keyboard stuff. Tuomas first Keyboard he borrowed the Money from his dad to basicalley found Nightwish was the Korg N364 its considered THE Nightwish Keyboard and Patches like "Big Strings", "Dream Keys (Nemo)" and "Harpsicord" are well know by the Keyboarders among the Nightwish Army as "Tuomas Sounds" In the End of an Era DVD Tuomas is using the Korg N364 (Top on the Spyder stand) Korg Triton Pro (lower on the stand) and Korg Karma (on an Baby Spyder to his left, wich his Keys Tech Terro tilted for him by using bolts) in The Inmaginaerum Album Era he uses the N364, Korg Oasis, and Karma and in the actual Albums He switched the Oasis for Korg newest 4k Multisampler called Kronos best regards the "Dark Poet" from German Nightwish Coverband "Nightingale" ua-cam.com/video/Zl3-lnFgFE8/v-deo.html
"This argument is dumb." - Well said! However, the reason I'm commenting this video is your pronunciation of the name 'Tarja'. It's perrrrfect! Making us Finns really happy. 👌 Greetings from Finland! Can't wait for more cool stuff from you!
Thank you for reacting to this song, and both singers. You should react to the official video for Bye Bye Beautiful, it is a sing written as a goodbye to Tarja after her departure. Very personal lyrics.
One thing we can all agree on is that Marko sounds fantastic along side all three singers. I still haven't heard the full story of how he came to join NW but what a magnificent choice.
Could not agree more. The three female lead singers that Nightwish have had are all great in their own ways. The funny thing is for all the Anette haters out there the two albums featuring her on lead vocals are still the two best selling. For those who stopped listening to Nightwish after Tarja left all I can say is they are missing out on a lot of great music.
I LOVE the Imaginaerum album. But sadly, it did not sell well at all compared to DPP. And Once have now taken over the No.1 spot as the best selling Nightwish album.
Well, those albums were the most streamlined out of all of them due to fact that they had to adjust to Annette a lot. Also it was the time where NW just got more popular actually thanks to Tarja and appeared way more in TV, but then she left and Annette was capitalizing on that after it. Not to mention that drama always makes fame in show business and Tarja drama was big. I love Nighwish but Annette was shit compare to Tarja and Floor. Just from pure singing skills.
@@honestbenny I think DPP was a hit because the world was fixed on Nightwish for a brief moment after the Tarja-drama, making people curious to find out what this new singer, i.e. Anette will sound and bring to the table. In addition, Dark Passion Play was the most expensive album produced in Finland's history, I hear 700 000€, not to mention all the adds they must have bought to ensure revenue after such a big bill. Imaginaerum, in my humble personal opinion, a much better album. But by then, the hype and drama had died out, and those that were not sold on Anette after hearing Dark Passion Play threw in the towel - hence the much lower album sales. A huge loss for them though, as Anette's vocal melodies and techniques made more sense with Imaginaerum.
As someone who missed the Annette era myself (for no real reason) I did not knew this recording and I must say I like her way more than Tarja on this song which is a nice surprise. I agree with some of the other comments here about the Annette era producing the best songs so far (but I am glad we have Floor now who can sing everything :D )
I really like your style of reacting, and you’re one of the most mature people who’s reacted to them and doesn’t want to compare them. I hope you’re able to influence your viewers.
Anette brought such a different sound to the band... as these things happened, the fanbase was first rocked by the announcement of parting ways with Tarja (and both open letters, and very ugly discussions online), then a lengthy period of uncertainty with added rumors of the band being over and done, and then by having a new singer who sounded like the exact opposite of Tarja's. I'm not surprised that there are people who didn't like her; and that she's not usually even considered in the discussions about who is the better female singer. But the two albums Tuomas was able to write because of the sound and style she brought to the table are still one of the best - and in the long run, isn't that what really counts? Great reaction but then again, your reactions are always great so do I even have to say it.
My suggestion would be perhaps Nemo! Triple reaction 🤣 Tarja end of an era, floor wacken 2013 and acoustic version with Troy and Floor. How awesome would that be?😁😁
Since Halloween is fast approaching, "Scaretale" is a must featuring Annette. She absolutely crushes it, and the song overall fits perfectly into any Halloween theme.
Complete agreed with you bro, Anette did really good, most fans want Tarja's replicas, but Tuomas decided for a complete change of style looking for a more pop singer, finally, Annette did not cope with the task and the massive of the band she said in some interviews, luckily for all Nightwish fans we arrived to Floor. Excellent reaction, I compare singers is senseless for me :-) I enjoy every one of them like you!!!!
You can try Storytime with Anette, this song was written for her it's awesome (the video clip is really good too if you want to have some fun). I agree with you, the 3 singers can't be compare, their styles are just too different, and Tuomas beeing an incredible composer he adapt to each of them.
This, however if you do studio Storytime, you have to listen to the preceding song Taikatalvi first :) Imaginaerum is an album full of songs that are fantastic individually, but I think people forget that they were written to be played one after another like a story.
Even though Dark Passion Play wasn't written for Anette. I think the band hired the singer they found best singing that album. I mean, just listen "For the Heart I Once Had," "Escapist," "The Poest and the Pendulum", "Eva," "Amaranth" and Anette sings them all great.
Storytime, as happened with Elvenpath, became an utterly different song between the original and Floor's version - despite identical music and lyrics. In the case of Storytime, Anette's version has a sinister and menacing feel to it, whereas Floor's is highly optimistic. Neither is better. Anette's version was perfect for that album and video, I wouldn't change it for the world. (Tarja's Elvenpath also has a very menacing style which suits the underlying myths superbly, Floor's Elvenpath suits the modern tales.) The interpretation is absolutely perfect for the context. Where the context hasn't changed (such as on Planet Hell), singers have stuck to very similar styles. I raise my drinking horn (filled with mead, naturally) in salute to singers who really understand storytelling and nuance in a way that very, very few singers do. (There are many singers I like, many of them superb, but I would say these three have mastered nuance and storytelling to a degree you simply don't see elsewhere.)
Scaretale - Do it, it's close to Halloween :) I can't believe it, the one week I don't catch the premiere you pull a surprise look this. Good on ya. Great vid and yes I agree, the argument is dumb. Each vocalist brings their own flavour and their own presence. Be "team music"; appreciate what each member of the band contributes, because they all did their damn best to create some amazing art and they succeeded.
@@TankTheTech You should really do Dead Boy's Poem from it. Would be perfect throwback before delving into the newer epics. It's their first longer epic song and wonderful with Tarja. :)
@@uralinmarsu837 Great recommendation! It's such a cool song, very distinctive of their early, more fantasy oriented style, and I'm not aware they've played it live in decades. It shows off the early bassist/vocalist really well too.
Anything from that DVD is great, Beauty And The Beast is also awesome. But figured Dead Boy's Poem would be perfect to see the evolution of the epics. :)
Hey man! Take a look at From wishes to Eternity DVD, especifically "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion" from Oceanborn album. Emppu was using Washburn guitars and Marco wasn't even in the band yet. Great show btw
Thank you ,Thank you ,Thank you , for this great reaction again you say it like it is . I like you have only been a fan of Nightwish for a short time just over a year for me . When i started i thought Floor had always been there singer when i found out there had been 2 before Floor i looked for their songs and made up my own mind that Tarja and Annette are great singers in there own right , they are different people they will sing the same song a different way .
I think Annette suffered from trying to follow Tarja. Her main "crime" was not being Tarja at a time when that was all Nightwish fans wanted. I will say she's my least favourite of the three singers (though still a very good one) but in my opinion the albums they made with Annette are the bands best work. What makes Floor such a great fit is that she can sing any of the songs written for Tarja, and any of the songs written for Annette. I don't think either Tarja or Annette could sing the entire Nightwish library the way Floor can. Sadly I think the albums the band has made with her as singer have been their most forgettable. Funny really, that they did their best work with the "worst" singer and their worst work with the best singer.
Interesting, Endless forms is my favourite album out of all of them but I also got into them when that album was their newest one so perhaps that does have something to do with it. It's also probably that the themes and messages in the songs on that album are some I really can get behind. That is also a big reason why I think the greatest show on earth is by far their best song so far, not only is it epic and sounds great but it also is about the beauty of the world and how it came to be through an irreligious perspective. But It's very possible that if I had gotten into them earlier it wouldn't be my favourite, those "what ifs" are always impossible to answer I guess
Lol, Human: Nature is imo as good as DPP. It's great album but way more difficult to follow than typical Nighwish album, not to mention totally different (and way more challanging) vocal parts. H:N is album that you like for how complicated it is, it's not another "guitar, key, belt, sad lyrics" song, and I am saying that as NW fan. But I agree on EFMB, it's medium album.

I've come along later, and the double version WAS still a surprise!! I realized I hit the Nightwish reaction motherload here on your channel and have just been letting them run down the line.
Best comment of the video..."This argument is dumb!!" How true it is! On the scale of 1-10, with singers this good, its like arguing over who is 11,12, and 13.
Nightwish-While Your Lips Are Still Red live in Wembley. Marko and Troy rocks in it.🤟👍
I’ve suggested this multiple times
Yeah, Troy with an Ebow!
And the studio version as well please (like you did on "The Islander").
This x 100
Oh I'm 100 percent backing this suggestion!
Tank Fact: This argument is dumb.
Preach, man. Preach.
The argument is dumb insofar that all 3 are obviously very talented. I don't think there are many fans that would disagree with that. But to say the argument only stems from the fans individual dedication to the singers is just wrong. Everybody that says that Anette with her rock/pop voice fits the Nightwish style is just crazy. Or deaf. So of course she is disregarded mostly, and the time from 2007-2012 is rightfully called the dark ages of the band. I mean, the band was unable to perform 50% of their songs because she could not sing them! Any argument over who is better between Floor and Tarja is very dumb tho, so there I am in agreement again.
@@Equilibrium2903 Well you did good job proving him right 😂
@@Dubbel12 Well yes, I agreed with him. Maybe work on your reading comprehension if you didn't get that, or pull your head out your ass.
It's ok to compare.
Talking about the image, and the charisma:
Tarja: The Ice Queen,
Floor: The Valkyrie Goddess,
Anette: Your Big/Little Sister.
The "Anette Era" songs were still great, but I think most of the fans are happy that it's over.
We all know it is... The best singer is obviously Mr Hietala...
The opener at the Wembley show: Shudder before the beautiful.
Perfect song for the week after at same show
Scaretale should be next. It's the month of Halloween. You have the 2 following weeks filled. You just got through complimenting Annette. This is widely considered in Nightwish Fan circles as being the definitive NW song for Annette. She quite literally owns this song.
This. Came to say the same thing.
This ☝️
The video features scenes from a movie the did called Imaginarium. Weird fantasy movie but I liked it.
Agreed, Scaretale for Halloween please.
Scaretale is probably my favourite Annette song.
One of my personal favourites of older Nightwish songs from the Tarja era is "Kinslayer", it has some really good Marko vocals in it.
"Wish I had an angel" is also a very good one from that era.
Really surprised I haven´t seen anyone recommendining these when talking about their older stuff.
Anette’s best song with Nightwish didn’t make it on either record. It’s a b side called The Escapist. It’s worth a listen as a deep cut. Great song
Agreed. Criminally underrated song.
@@kimberlyh.1090 Absolutely, its an underrated gem there.
@@sylxeria They should've released it as their first single (after Tarja) instead of Amaranth. I don't think there would've been as big a controversy then, tbh.
Agreed!!!!!
Dead Boys Poem! There are good quality recordings of both Tarja and Floor! And it's such a beautiful song!
Good Job Tank. I really appreciated what you said.
If there is one thing that bothers me the most is the sentence that many nostalgic Nightwish fans say : Nightwish without Tarja is done. As much as I love Tarja ( and I do love her very much... I mean how can you not love her ? )Nightwish is alive and kicking no matter who is the singer because Nightwish is a Tuomas' creation. Nightwish will live as long as Tuomas wishes. I have been a Nightwish fan for 18 years now and I remember well how I felt when I read the news that Tuomas had fired Tarja... How can I listen to new material without Tarja? I asked to myself. Then ' Dark Passion Play ' came out and I was mesmerized by the quality of the songs and the beauty of Anette's singing. I consider it that album a true masterpiece. You can like it or not but Tuomas needed to explore new musical landscapes no matter who was the singer. As you can see with the song ' The Poet and The Pendulum ' firing Tarja was one of the most difficult decision that Tuomas took in his own life but after this painful separtion he probably realized that he could even more easily explore new musical ideas and directions without her and with a new singer. And that's exactly what he did and especially what he did with the lastest album Human Nature. Tuomas is an artist and how can we fool ourselves in believing and hoping that he would have done the same album all over again during the span of 23 years ? Can we all peacefully agree on the fact we are extremely lucky to love a band that has had , no matter who the singer was , 9 very very good diversified albums ? Can we peacefully agree on the fact that we are extremely lucky to love a band that has had two of the most talented and skilled singers of all times in Tarja and Floor and a very very good one in Anette ?
The moment you've said about enjoying every era and every vocalist in their differences without comparing their skills... Oh, man! I LIKED immediately!
"This arguments dumb"
Never were truer words spoken, with regards to that particular subject matter.
They all brought something to the table. I love all 3 singers and I'm interested to see what else you will be reacting to soon from Nightwish. 🤘
Tarja - from birth, Anette - School years, Floor - maturity. Papa Tuomas all through.
I love all 3 singers, but I completely agree with Tank, Marco is(was) the best vocalist in Nightwish
They are stuk!All Tarja songs dont fit with Anette and Floor stile.Even the Gost love score sounds better with Tarja.
@@andreivlad3518 no foor win ghost love score
@@fredverkerk838 you are like communist.
Tarja & Marko played a Christmas concert, in Finland, in December of 2017. According to Tarja, that was the first time she'd seen Marko, since this concert. 12 years. They hugged on stage and spoke one on one for couple of hours, afterwards. According to Tarja & Marko... they mended their friendship.🤘
Tank you seriously won my respect with this one. You nailed the entire issue with the singer argument. It's so refreshing to see and hear someone appreciating Anette's contribution to the band. She had grown so much as a singer between Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum.
I'm super happy that you did Planet Hell and gave Jukka much well deserved love too (I was hoping you would catch him switching drumsticks mid-drumming, but it's hard if you don't know it beforehand). He often switches up the tempo and uses the double base in a clever way in a lot of songs which makes the effect even better. I also love Toumas throwback on his solo in the studio version to the fans of the "Oceanborns" album with "Stargazers" and "Gethsemane".
In general, most reactors seem to react mostly to Floor, then they go to "Phantom of the Opera" to get a song from Tarja (and occasionally one more from "End of an Era"), but hardly noone dives deeper into their earlier stuff. You have already done some not-so-common stuff, with Planet Hell being one of those, but I would love to see you be the one who really goes back in time and explore more of their earlier material, mostly from 2001 with "From wishes to eternity". They really had a different sound there, much more fantasy-themed without the heavy guitar that mostly did it entrance on "Once" (and to some part "Century Child"), but with a lot of really beautiful solos.
Here's quite a list of suggestions, but they are all gold in my eyes:
* Ever Dream from End of an Era - My alltime favourite song, the song is just perfection (and the crescendo....!).
* She is my sin from Wishes to Eternity - The song that made me love Nightwish, lots of energy and a great example of their "Wishmaster" sound.
* Bless the Child from End of an Era - This one flies under the radar, but I remember Toumas saying back in the day that this was the most difficult song to play live. Also, Jukka goes full out on the showmanship/crowd interaction which he was known for.
* The Kinslayer from WIshes to Eternity - Same as "She is my Sin", these two were the opening songs, you can't go wrong with a concert after that.
* Dead boy's Poem fron Wishes to Eternity - A musical masterpiece and one of their first "epic" songs.
* Fantasmic from Wishes to Eternity - A 3-part epic song. They played the third part live which is the most intense part, Toumas abandons his keyboards to be able to headbang full on.
* Beauty and the Beast from Wishes to Eternity - We need some appreciation for a song from "Angels falls first", along with Tony Kakko as guest singer.
* Sleeping Sun from End of an Era - This is THE Tarja song. Nuff said.
Done? Not really. Here are some suggestions that are realy out there/almost forgotten, but you will find pure gold.
* Swanheart from Wishes to Eternity - I have never seen anyone talk about it/suggest it, but if you like Sleeping Sun you should love this. It's just beautiful! I suggest listening to their Hans Zimmer cover of "Crimson Tide/Deep blue sea" leading into it. Musical perfection!
* Walking in the air from Wishes to Eternity - I love that they made a cover of the song from "The Snowman" and also played it live.
And I will finish off with a suggestion that I think is best for you to check out in private. From "End of an Era", check out "Stone People" directly followed by "Creek Mary's Blood". I found out only recently (late to the ball I guess?) that there were some controversies around the guest artist John Two-Hawks, so you might not want to cover that in a video, but the perfomance is really worth watching, and "Creek Mary's Blood" was the "epic song" from "Once".
Ok, this became something. But I'm happy for every not-so-common reaction that you do and if you do anything "From Wishes to Eternity", I will be super happy. Keep up the great work Tank, I'm loving it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking my suggestion from last week!! This was the first Nightwish song I ever heard, back in 2005 in my grade 10 social studies classroom when a friend showed them to me. I fell in love with them because of this song, and 15 years later am still a huge fan. Thank you Tank!!
🙌🙌🙌 Great song suggestion.
I highly vote for EVER DREAM as a song to be done next. This was one kick ass reaction to a kick ass song. Awesome!!
if you're gonna watch ever dream why not just watch the floor version? a million times better doesn't even cover it.
Ever dream with both Tarja and then Floor!!
@@andoobs2 nope, Tarja's version is more operatic and both are the best 💜
Ever Dream from Wacken 100% a must
@@andoobs2 When you watch a video that calls out how dumb the 3 way fan war is and then someone in the comments starts things back up. lmfao
Welcome down to our...Planet...HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL! I'm so stoked that you reacted to this! Not being likely to find it yourself, I'm ecstatic that you listened to the suggestion and found the rocking badassery of Planet Hell. =D
Anette sounds amazing here. Never heard Anette's version of this old song. 😍 I enjoyed this video a lot.
Same, I didn't even know that video existed! Probably my favourite Anette performance of a Tarja song alongside Sleeping Sun.
I'm gonna do my very own "Tank note" for you, Tank. In the rehearsal version, in the Tuomas' keyboard solo, he played a little bit of two songs; one was "Stargazers", and the other was "Gethsemane", both songs from the album "Oceanborn". There's a very old live recording of "Gethsemane" with Tarja, and the "Decades" concert has Floor singing it. And "Stargazers" live at Tampere is also available. So... reacting to any of those songs may be a good option for next week.
You saved me from typing.
I'd be really happy to see pretty much anything from Decades, especially the older songs.
First time hearing the Studio version with Anette, and I noticed Stargazers and Gethsemane right away: I jumped out of my chair yelling! xD And to think that I missed this version... Shame on me.
I just watched the video and i was looking for someone pointing this out. Thanks!
Tuomas prolly was alrdy at point of frusration as Anette just couldnt handle those songs so they werent able to perform those songs live...and he wanted to play them 😆!
I love Anette. I love her voice and she's adorable.
Oh shit, I never heard this version with Annete and I really like it!
"Last ride of the day" (last song of the Wacken 2013 show) would be a great choice for next week
Second this!!
Hartwall areena, Helsinki 2012 version is gr8❤️🤘
Cool pyros too
I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned, but in Annete’s version, the keyboard part in the bridge is a mixture of melodies from two of their older songs “Stargazers” and “Gethsemane”. That throwback gets me a huge smile every time.
EVER DREAM is simply beautiful! One of my favorite songs! Greetings from Brazil! =D
I want to see you react to Dead Boy's Poem (live, Decades tour @ BA). I think it would be the perfect lead-in to Poet, thematically & otherwise...
My thoughts exactly.
Good one Tank. Really enjoyed that.
Totally agree. All 3 singers are awesome, and I've been following them since 2000
only real "issue" with Anette is she did struggle with various Tarja era songs... and I don't think she felt free enough to change up the style, in the way Floor has, where she belts a lot more than Tarja did. I think had she changed them up more to suit her own style and voice, it'd been better, but the haters would hate, regardless. Anette is a damn good singer, though, and the 2 album she did I love.
Anette is a great singer but I personally don't think she ever had the range to really be great for nightwish, however in the range she does have she is absolutely great, which is why the two albums she did were great although I personally for example think Floor handled the Poet and the Pendulum better (although Annette didn't sing it badly or anything) as imo it doesn't quite fit Anette's style. However more "folky" songs like the crow, the owl and the dove, ghost river and scaretale she absolutely rocked because those were perfect for her style.
I think Annette has a bigger range now than she did with Nightwish.
@@Rosannasfriend Tbf I haven't really listened enough to what she does now, any recommendations?
@@thetoyyya6890 , check out Dark Element =)
@@thetoyyya6890 She did two albums for the Dark Element project. Great music!
Dope reaction man.
Not sure if I was the commentor (as I did request this last week) but either way I appreciate you taking a look at this song dude.
Planet Hell was the first song that I heard from Nightwish and got me to seek them out some 15yrs ago. Been a fan ever since.
End of an Era was actually their second live dvd. I'm holding From Wishes to Eternity in my hand at the moment. Marco wasn't even in the band yet.
You are right i said the same in my comment, i dont expect cause i have them all .they played with sammi vanska in the bass.
I looooove that recording. It’d be fun to hear him react to some of the even older Nightwish stuff. I’m quite fond of The Pharaoh Sails to Orion from that performance.
Interesting. All the info I found said it was their first “official” live DVD release. Oh well. Can’t win em all.
@@TankTheTech Yes, "From Wishes to Enternity" is Nightwish's first live DVD. You can hear a lot of old songs at this concert. Tarja's vocals at this concert are simply amazing, it is different from what you hear at the "End of an era". I recommend Swanheart, Walking in the air, Dead boys poem, Fantasmic, Beauty and the beast, Pharion sails to orion from the concert "From Wishes to enternity".
@@annabern8814 Kinslayer is pretty amazing too on Wishes to Eternity.
Thanks for finally doing Planet Hell! It's definitely one of my all time favorite Tarja tracks. Might I suggest a song from their very first EP that most people forget about is 10th Man Down. This is the first song I ever heard from them and it definitely defined their style early on.
Also I said first EP, not album. I'm aware Over the Hills and Far Away came out a few years after they formed.
My suggestion for the last week before Poet: Dark Chest of Wonders - Wacken 2013. Or you can do another double special and include the version of End of an Era as well ;) It was the opener of both shows, absolutely killer.
Really a song that suits both singer's voices.
I was about to comment the same thing!!!
Over the hills and far away with Tarja..one of my all-time favorite songs
"This argument is dumb"
I agree, 100%
Thanks so much for this reaction, I actually hadn't heard the version with Anette before, that was awesome, loved both :)
Take care and stay safe Tank
All the singers bring something unique and special to Nightwish.
Actually, Jukka doesn’t only help on day-to-day stuff, he is the CEO of the Nightwish company and he’s doing extremely well with his health 👍
Totally agree about the singer argument.
That said, I wanna hear a proper Floor version of this song so bad.
Personally my preference on the singers has to do with how I feel their style fits a particular song. I prefer Tarja's version of Planet Hell, Anette's version of Amaranth, and Floor's version of Ghost Love Score. It's all just a case-by-case basis because each singer has their strengths.
I think it's easy to get accustomed to a particular singer's style if you only listen to their versions, and then if you hear a different singer the differences in their style sound 'wrong'. From there it's easy to assume that it's because that singer is worse, not seeing that those differences can actually be strengths.
Shudder before the Beautiful live at Wembley! Floor rocks it! 🤘🏻❤️
I like how Tuomas just randomly inserted Emppu's lead melody from Stargazers into his solo on the Anette version. Stargazers is the first Nightwish song I ever heard, and it's remained one of my favorite songs ever since.
And also Gethsame immediately after!#
Thank you so damned much for all these Nightwish Reactions. I have always loved them, but your reactions have given me a new connection to their music! I just sought out and ordered the 3 LP, 2 CD, and BluRay boxed set of "End of an Era" because of you. I can't wait to watch the whole thing, and put it on the turntable.
Scaretale would be a good choice since we're getting closer to Halloween. Annette's voice on this song is just otherworldly and fits perfectly. It would let you see some of Annette's work too.
Once again great video. I was surprised when you pointed out the pyro close against the backdrop. Even with fire codes and the resistant material, brought me right back to 2003 and the Rhode Island Station fire.
Dude, you got to listen to Nightwish - Master Passion Greed. The most heavy Nightwish song there is. The song is a "hate letter" pointed at Tarja's husband who was also the manager of Nightwish. They have never played the song live (and they never will) so there is only a studio version available.
Love this song. Always one of my go to ones on the treadmill. Someone did a video of this song that is a mashup of all three singers, and honestly it's probably the best version as it showcases all of their strengths.
"Mixed by Janne Tolsa and Marco Hietala" as was the 2013 Wacken show. Janne was the keyboardist in Tarot.
Great reaction! Has it really been 13 already? Wow! Looking forward to seeing your reaction to Poet and the Pendulum... but until then: I would say, hmm... so many to choose from; ok I got one: Ever Dream!
Scaretale would be great to watch sometime before Halloween!
Wow. I’ve never actually seen the rehearsal video before! I really enjoyed it and I loved how Tuomas put some lead bits from other songs in the solo. Was a nice surprise and they fit really well with the song!
Anette is amazing in The Dark Element and Floor is stunning with Nightwish, great music :)
Awesome Reaction Tank as Always... Love Tarja Era, Love Annette and I've my allegiance to Miss Floor Jansen Queen of Metal🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 excellent choices👍👍👍👍👍👍
"Why can't we just enjoy everything from everybody?"
Cause that's now how people work... I mean, I really wish people wouldn't be so prone to picking sides at every possible moment, but the unfortunate reality is that they do...
One of the BEST songs this band has... I LOOOOOVE this damn song!
Awesome reaction as always Tank. If you want to see Nightwish performing in the US, you could check out Sahara - Live in Tampa. Looking forward to Poet and the Pendulum too!
I think there are some copyright issues with this song.
@@MorusRubra no problem at all since a couple of months with Sahara....
Slaying the Dreamer ~ End of an Era.🔥🤘
I agree! I like all three lead singers. Different, but They have Style of their own!
My own favorite still is Tarja because I did join Nightwish community when she was the lead women, but I still enjoy the next two too! It is like the first love. It is somewhat special :)
So please listen all three and enjoy the Ride!
I got the privilege to see them live at the Filmore in Denver when Floor had just joined. The whole night was amazing, but I hope they get to play Red Rocks. I would fly back home for that show in a heartbeat.
On the subject of Anette and since you only have 2 reactions left in October: you should do Scaretale. It's a very Tim Burton/Halloween ish style song and one that Anette really shines in.
A very fun song.
Great idea! And it´s a fun song, too!
Planet Hell? Now that's a song I haven't heard in a long time. I remember when I first got into Nightwish, just as End of an Era released (I blame my dad for showing me them too late to expirience the Tarja stuff) and this song blew me away. Really stoked for this reaction!
Edit: yup, it's just as good as I remember it. And fuck yeah for doing the Anette version, I love her vocals! As i said earlier, I just got into Nightwish after Tarja left so the first record from the I got invested in was Dark Passion Play. With that in mind, you should check out "Bye Bye Beautiful". Straight up banger with Anette on vocals and a little surprise which I will explain when you're doing the song. But you should do the official music video to see that surprise ;) and the song kinda relates to Poet and the Pendulum, because it's basically a song about Tarja. This may give a little more context
Oh my Dad did, too ^^, he got me "Tales from the Elvenpath". And he wasn't even listening (and still isn't) to any metal, but got me into it with that CD :D
Song of Myself is a must. Jump back to Wacken 2013 for it, to come full circle, back to where you started your journey. Then off to Tampere for Poet. I guarantee the next two weeks of Nightwish are a tech's dream. So in awe of their production team.
I actually had no idea that rehearsal recording existed. Nice find! If you like this you’ll enjoy Slaying the Dreamer which was also done for the end of an era dvd.
It's on the official Nightwish UA-cam channel.
I was the same way. I didn't realize this was a double reaction and was shocked to see this version and don't know how I've never seen it before.
Tank I love you, this is one of my favorite NW songs so getting a double reaction for it is just amazing ❤
Since I saw the name in the end credits: Janne Tolsa helped mixing this song and he plays with Marco in the band "Tarot". Marco's brother Zachary is also in this band. They have a live album "Undead Indeed" and it's epic. Since you like Marco, you might enjoy them too. Straight heavy metal :D
"Tides" for a calmer experience, "Pyre of Gods" or "Warhead" for the full heavy metal experience. You won't regret it.
I was heaps excited when I saw that this is what you reacted to. I think that it's great that you reacted to both versions. Great video.
well Tank if you allow me i can help a little with the Keyboard stuff.
Tuomas first Keyboard he borrowed the Money from his dad to basicalley found Nightwish was the Korg N364 its considered THE Nightwish Keyboard and Patches like "Big Strings", "Dream Keys (Nemo)" and "Harpsicord" are well know by the Keyboarders among the Nightwish Army as "Tuomas Sounds"
In the End of an Era DVD Tuomas is using the Korg N364 (Top on the Spyder stand) Korg Triton Pro (lower on the stand) and Korg Karma (on an Baby Spyder to his left, wich his Keys Tech Terro tilted for him by using bolts)
in The Inmaginaerum Album Era he uses the N364, Korg Oasis, and Karma
and in the actual Albums He switched the Oasis for Korg newest 4k Multisampler called Kronos
best regards the "Dark Poet" from German Nightwish Coverband "Nightingale"

"This argument is dumb." - Well said!
However, the reason I'm commenting this video is your pronunciation of the name 'Tarja'. It's perrrrfect! Making us Finns really happy. 👌
Greetings from Finland! Can't wait for more cool stuff from you!
Wow Planet Hell!! This is one of my old favourites. This is going to be a good reaction to watch.
Thank you for reacting to this song, and both singers. You should react to the official video for Bye Bye Beautiful, it is a sing written as a goodbye to Tarja after her departure. Very personal lyrics.
One thing we can all agree on is that Marko sounds fantastic along side all three singers.
I still haven't heard the full story of how he came to join NW but what a magnificent choice.
This is my favourite Nightwish song
Either “Last Ride of the Day” or maybe a bit left field and go for something off the new album, such as “Shoemaker”.
15:53 - melody from Stargazers
16:06 - melody from Gethsemane
the album version has its own melody in that solo
16:01 Stargazers and 16:07 Gethsemane references used in Tuomas's keyboard fill.🤘💖
This is one of my all-time favourites!!! Thanks Tank :)
Could not agree more. The three female lead singers that Nightwish have had are all great in their own ways. The funny thing is for all the Anette haters out there the two albums featuring her on lead vocals are still the two best selling. For those who stopped listening to Nightwish after Tarja left all I can say is they are missing out on a lot of great music.
I LOVE the Imaginaerum album. But sadly, it did not sell well at all compared to DPP. And Once have now taken over the No.1 spot as the best selling Nightwish album.
@@FemaleMetalLover Thanks for the update.
Well, those albums were the most streamlined out of all of them due to fact that they had to adjust to Annette a lot. Also it was the time where NW just got more popular actually thanks to Tarja and appeared way more in TV, but then she left and Annette was capitalizing on that after it. Not to mention that drama always makes fame in show business and Tarja drama was big. I love Nighwish but Annette was shit compare to Tarja and Floor. Just from pure singing skills.
@@honestbenny I think DPP was a hit because the world was fixed on Nightwish for a brief moment after the Tarja-drama, making people curious to find out what this new singer, i.e. Anette will sound and bring to the table. In addition, Dark Passion Play was the most expensive album produced in Finland's history, I hear 700 000€, not to mention all the adds they must have bought to ensure revenue after such a big bill.
Imaginaerum, in my humble personal opinion, a much better album. But by then, the hype and drama had died out, and those that were not sold on Anette after hearing Dark Passion Play threw in the towel - hence the much lower album sales. A huge loss for them though, as Anette's vocal melodies and techniques made more sense with Imaginaerum.
my all time favorite nightwish song by far !
As someone who missed the Annette era myself (for no real reason) I did not knew this recording and I must say I like her way more than Tarja on this song which is a nice surprise. I agree with some of the other comments here about the Annette era producing the best songs so far (but I am glad we have Floor now who can sing everything :D )
Yes! More Tarja 😁
The build up gets me every time 👌 so good
I can't remember if you have done "The Greatest Show on Earth" yet, but Empu throws another VERY recognizable riff in there.
It's my first time listening to Anette and she really made that song hers, it was an excellent performance.
Headbanging to Slayer at the end! 🤘🏻
A song very closely related to Tuomas and even The Poet, is Escapist. Definitely one of Anette's highlights!
Agreed. Escapist is one of my favorites.
I really like your style of reacting, and you’re one of the most mature people who’s reacted to them and doesn’t want to compare them. I hope you’re able to influence your viewers.
I hope so too! We’ll see! So far we’ve built a great community on this channel and the people are wonderful.
Anette brought such a different sound to the band... as these things happened, the fanbase was first rocked by the announcement of parting ways with Tarja (and both open letters, and very ugly discussions online), then a lengthy period of uncertainty with added rumors of the band being over and done, and then by having a new singer who sounded like the exact opposite of Tarja's. I'm not surprised that there are people who didn't like her; and that she's not usually even considered in the discussions about who is the better female singer. But the two albums Tuomas was able to write because of the sound and style she brought to the table are still one of the best - and in the long run, isn't that what really counts?
Great reaction but then again, your reactions are always great so do I even have to say it.
Thank you! It's been some time since I listned to this song. This reminded me of how much I love it. 🥳
My suggestion would be perhaps Nemo! Triple reaction 🤣 Tarja end of an era, floor wacken 2013 and acoustic version with Troy and Floor. How awesome would that be?😁😁
Tank The Tech thank you. Tarja & Marko. Kiitos.
Deep Silent complete from the live dvd From Wishes to Eternity ✨👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🔥
I love your instrument breakdowns and set ups including lights! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Since Halloween is fast approaching, "Scaretale" is a must featuring Annette. She absolutely crushes it, and the song overall fits perfectly into any Halloween theme.
Complete agreed with you bro, Anette did really good, most fans want Tarja's replicas, but Tuomas decided for a complete change of style looking for a more pop singer, finally, Annette did not cope with the task and the massive of the band she said in some interviews, luckily for all Nightwish fans we arrived to Floor. Excellent reaction, I compare singers is senseless for me :-) I enjoy every one of them like you!!!!
You can try Storytime with Anette, this song was written for her it's awesome (the video clip is really good too if you want to have some fun).
I agree with you, the 3 singers can't be compare, their styles are just too different, and Tuomas beeing an incredible composer he adapt to each of them.
I concur.. there is no better singer out of them, they're all excellent vocal talents🤘😊
This, however if you do studio Storytime, you have to listen to the preceding song Taikatalvi first :) Imaginaerum is an album full of songs that are fantastic individually, but I think people forget that they were written to be played one after another like a story.
Even though Dark Passion Play wasn't written for Anette. I think the band hired the singer they found best singing that album. I mean, just listen "For the Heart I Once Had," "Escapist," "The Poest and the Pendulum", "Eva," "Amaranth" and Anette sings them all great.
Storytime, as happened with Elvenpath, became an utterly different song between the original and Floor's version - despite identical music and lyrics. In the case of Storytime, Anette's version has a sinister and menacing feel to it, whereas Floor's is highly optimistic. Neither is better. Anette's version was perfect for that album and video, I wouldn't change it for the world. (Tarja's Elvenpath also has a very menacing style which suits the underlying myths superbly, Floor's Elvenpath suits the modern tales.)
The interpretation is absolutely perfect for the context. Where the context hasn't changed (such as on Planet Hell), singers have stuck to very similar styles. I raise my drinking horn (filled with mead, naturally) in salute to singers who really understand storytelling and nuance in a way that very, very few singers do.
(There are many singers I like, many of them superb, but I would say these three have mastered nuance and storytelling to a degree you simply don't see elsewhere.)
Scaretale - Do it, it's close to Halloween :)
I can't believe it, the one week I don't catch the premiere you pull a surprise look this. Good on ya.
Great vid and yes I agree, the argument is dumb. Each vocalist brings their own flavour and their own presence. Be "team music"; appreciate what each member of the band contributes, because they all did their damn best to create some amazing art and they succeeded.
My good sir, your windmill is a worthy competitor to Floor's👌
That’s a huge compliment. Thank you!
Hi Tank, weak fantasy (tempere concert) is awesome, good gear breakdown and awesome song. Cheers.
This is their second live DVD. Their first was "From Wishes to Eternity", pre-Marco
Interesting. I’ll have to check that one out. All the info I found said this was their first official DVD release. Oh well. Haha
@@TankTheTech You should really do Dead Boy's Poem from it. Would be perfect throwback before delving into the newer epics. It's their first longer epic song and wonderful with Tarja. :)
@@uralinmarsu837 Great recommendation! It's such a cool song, very distinctive of their early, more fantasy oriented style, and I'm not aware they've played it live in decades. It shows off the early bassist/vocalist really well too.
first DVD - From Wishes to Eternity 2001. second DVD - End of Innocence 2003
Anything from that DVD is great, Beauty And The Beast is also awesome. But figured Dead Boy's Poem would be perfect to see the evolution of the epics. :)
slaying the dreamer from the same concert, that one is one of their heaviest song, you are gonna love it
Hey man! Take a look at From wishes to Eternity DVD, especifically "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion" from Oceanborn album. Emppu was using Washburn guitars and Marco wasn't even in the band yet. Great show btw
Thank you ,Thank you ,Thank you , for this great reaction again you say it like it is . I like you have only been a fan of Nightwish for a short time just over a year for me . When i started i thought Floor had always been there singer when i found out there had been 2 before Floor i looked for their songs and made up my own mind that Tarja and Annette are great singers in there own right , they are different people they will sing the same song a different way .
I think Annette suffered from trying to follow Tarja. Her main "crime" was not being Tarja at a time when that was all Nightwish fans wanted. I will say she's my least favourite of the three singers (though still a very good one) but in my opinion the albums they made with Annette are the bands best work.
What makes Floor such a great fit is that she can sing any of the songs written for Tarja, and any of the songs written for Annette. I don't think either Tarja or Annette could sing the entire Nightwish library the way Floor can. Sadly I think the albums the band has made with her as singer have been their most forgettable. Funny really, that they did their best work with the "worst" singer and their worst work with the best singer.
Interesting, Endless forms is my favourite album out of all of them but I also got into them when that album was their newest one so perhaps that does have something to do with it. It's also probably that the themes and messages in the songs on that album are some I really can get behind. That is also a big reason why I think the greatest show on earth is by far their best song so far, not only is it epic and sounds great but it also is about the beauty of the world and how it came to be through an irreligious perspective.
But It's very possible that if I had gotten into them earlier it wouldn't be my favourite, those "what ifs" are always impossible to answer I guess
Yeah, fun how Anette is my by far least favourite Nightwish singer, but Dark Passion Play is by far my favourite Nightwish album !!
@@thetoyyya6890 absolutely agree
Lol, Human: Nature is imo as good as DPP. It's great album but way more difficult to follow than typical Nighwish album, not to mention totally different (and way more challanging) vocal parts. H:N is album that you like for how complicated it is, it's not another "guitar, key, belt, sad lyrics" song, and I am saying that as NW fan.
But I agree on EFMB, it's medium album.
Imaginaerum is my favourite album. Human :||: Nature is my second.
You're right Tank about the argument. It's all about style and preference. If you want a banger next week, do 'Master Passion Greed'.
