@@michaeldepaemelaere2649 The conversation loosely translated: E: Hey Tuomas, was this the guitarpart you mentioned about "look like trying because it's real easy?" T:Yeah. *smiles*
First react channel I've seen that does it right. Takes their time and goes back to listen to parts of the song again. Now this kind of react channel I can get behind.
Awesome reaction. I'm not sure if you got the background on this song or not. It's full of metaphors for all the emotions Tuomas felt after the band fired their first front woman Tarja Turunen. Nightwish is everything to him, and it was fire her, or the band was going to split apart and he couldn't let that happen.They were childhood friends and went to school together. It crushed him to have to fire her and he went into a deep depression after that. The media and fans turned on him and blamed him for Tarja's firing. Glad you enjoyed it. Knowing the background, I cry every time I hear this song.
@@shadow6269 Annette replaced Tarja in 2005, then Floor replaced Annette in late 2012. The reasoning behind the firings are simi-secret, which is expected. Typically artists don't like to air their differences to the public. Long story short, Tarja's husband was a big part of why she was fired. Annette and the band just grew apart as I understand it. Personality clash or whatever you want to call it. Jukka suffers from insomnia and had to quit touring. He is still with the band and is their CEO and handles all the finances now. Kai from Wintersun now tours with Nightwish and Wintersun as the drummer for both groups I believe. Since about 2015ish I think because I know it's Kai drumming in the 2015 Tempere show and it was still Jukka in the 2013 Waken show. So sometime between those two shows is when Jukka had to stop touring with them.
@Shadow Tarja was the first singer and friends with Tuomas before the band was created. Their artistic and personal relationship soured after she married. Her husband became her manager and increasingly clashed with the other band members and Nightwish management. Tarja was aiming for a solo career and was hoping for a smooth transition to her departure, but the tensions had already reached a breaking point and she was fired quite unceremoniously via an open letter. Annete replaced her. It's not too clear the circunstances that led to her departure, but a series of conflicts with the band arose throught the Imaginaerum World Tour, like her getting pregnant when she knew that a two-year tour was already scheduled and her very bitchy reaction to the band using guest singers for a concert she couldn't do due to sickness. Floor Jansen was asked to replace her mid-tour as an emergency solution and later, invited to be a full time member. Jukka is afected by severe imsonnia so he had to step down from drum duties. It is not known if he ever recover well enough to be back on the kit. Right now, he is still with Nightwish in a managerial capacity.
@@casualcarolinafishing5835 It was not Kai drumming only in the shows. Jukka stepped back in 2014 and Kai is the drummer in the EFMB studio recordings too.. As going to be in the recordings of the new album.
I agree. He holds the basslines with perfection while singing like a beast over them. He is an alpha version of Geddy Lee! Marco is my favorite part of Nightwish. I hate to single out because this is definitely a band driven by chemistry. Every member as important as any.
Props to Tuomas( the keyboard player) for keeping this band together, all these years and for providing us- the unworthy- with these EPIC shows. Props to Tuomas for writing nearly every song performed, for our consumption. May the greatness of Nightwish current line up never fail.. What you are experiencing is a phenomenon. Take in these two concerts- NW from Wacken and NW from Tampere -- enjoy the once in a lifetime journey that is Nightwish..
@@ikill4klondikebars I was one of the ones who lost NW when Tarja and NW parted ways. Annette would be absolutely hated so soon after the break up and she sounded not one bit worthy of NW (which is my opinion). I couldn't bear to listen to Annette. She wasn't Tarja. But Floor I already knew and loved. When I saw Floor was with NW I celebrated SO happy! I had my NW back!!!!!!
I love how we have to prep the noobs for Greatest Show on Earth XD. Like "it's 20 minutes long, so maybe take maybe steps because it might melt your brain if you go in blind" XD
@@MadameChristie melting the brain is kind of the point. you don't fully understand the full power of the floorgasm until you watch that performance uninterrupted in it's entirety from beginning to the very last second of the video.
Am I the only one that almost fell out of my chair laughing? “The Music Gods are so pleased They’re actually at the performance.” These are the things that make me absolutely love Preston...
i've been digitally screaming this on everyy nightwish reaction video i've watched. that performance is the magnum opus of symphonic metal and one of if not the best of this modern era in general.
I just went back and listened the original with Anette Olzon. People can bicker over Tarja vs Floor. But when I listen Floor singing Anette's songs, Anette Olzon seems like Iron Maiden's Virtual XI album - best pretending like it never happened and move on...
@@SynphamyMusic That was her "problem" well that and the fact that Amaranth was the first single she was in but in all seriousness Dark Passion Play is one of my favourite Nightwish albums
Just shows the absolute difference in metal here in the US and symphonic metal from Finland hands down incredible people incredible music. Raw talent raw energy
you need remember in 2013 she had just joined the band and had been with them for a few months before that video was done. Now she has been with them for a few years and really feels comfortable in what she is doing. Went and saw them back a few months ago in Austin with my niece who is 6 ft 3 and Floor is taller than my niece and she can rock they went for almost 2 hours at the show. It totally rocked.
Preston, 1st of all thank you for your genuine reactions to songs that you present. I am a hardcore rocker and never heard of Nightwish until yesterday and without your channel probably never would of.....It just amazes me that before yesterday I've never heard of this band, but after I saw your reaction to it, I have noticed all the other people that react to videos are doing Nightwish now.....bro you are the leader and all others are followers, you are genuine, you respect, your real. CAN I GET A LEVEL UP!!!!!!! NOW WE CAN PROCEED......
actually Jeffrey I've been watching other reaction channels and they did Nightwish quite a while before Preston got to it, but it's not really a big deal they all kind of eventually get to the same music anyway, but I have seen quite a few who have done Nightwish before
@@ricardomartinezxx Yeah, Nightwish, particularly Ghost Love Score, has been all over reaction channels for at least a good year now. The same bands tend to get covered on reaction channels because they are bands with the more rabbid fanbases that flood reaction channels with requests. Not putting them down or anything because they do whats gotta be done to get their favorites reacted to.
I love how mesmerized you are by their music. Good versatility on the songs that you're reacting to, keep it going! Greetings from Finland, homecountry of Nightwish! ☺️
What's gonna happen, King KTF, when you go to a live concert and can't stop or rewind the performance? I think you're gonna be a pile of smiling, quivering jelly! :-) One big goosebump!
Wacken concert- Storytime, Song of Myself, Last Ride of the Day- Ghost River and Everdream.. Tampere Concert- Alpenglow, Stargazers, The Islander and most of all Greatest Show on Earth.. Thank you so much-- enjoy the ride..
You can hear the pain in the music,well said my man.I love watching your reactions you have a real understanding of music.This makes you feel something.Thats how you react to music not by tearing down the lyrics you don't even have to hear the lyrics if it made you feel something .This group is amazing.I am 62 yr old and found them the same time you did .It's like musical theatre
What I like about Nighwish live perfomances is... just look at how genuinely happy Emppu always looks. He never seems stressed or the tiniest bit worried. Always casually walking around, talking with people, playing guitar and always smiling. You should watch the Nightwish movie "Imaginearum". Really. You should watch it.
Marco has been in metal bands since the 80s, Tarot was his first project. If you want to see how well he can sing they did a cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes in End of an Era, which is so perfect. For a great duet between him and Floor look up Ave Maria, I had a Marcogasim and Floorgasim at the same time.
I am glad to see that you feel Nightwish as deeply as I do. There is something about their sound that resonates within my very being. I see Nightwish as having transcended the Gods when they tapped into the power of the Titan Floor Jansen!
Nightwish - Greatest Show On Earth (live at Tampere). After that, anything from Wacken 2013. Or End of an Era. Or From Wishes To Eternity. Me like your channel looong time :D
Floor is a metal head through and through. Don't let her angelic vocals fool you! She's quite the demon when it comes to headbanging. ;) Other Nightwish performances ya just gotta see sometime, that many others have already suggested- From their Wacken 2013 show; Dark Chest of Wonders Storytime Romanticide Ghost River Ever Dream Song of Myself From Tampere; Weak Fantasy Stargazers The Greatest Show on Earth (literally!) Yours is an Empty Hope - Live from the Nightwish Cruise 7 Days to the Wolves - Live at Barona Arena And hopefully soon we'll have some official live videos from the Decades tour that they just concluded a couple of days ago.
I just had to take a screen shot of your comment and say thank you for the list. This is the 2nd Nightwish song I'm going to get to experience after seeing so many recommendations for Ghost Love Score in the comments on his Sound of Silence reaction. Now I have some idea what to watch next. The only Nightwish I'd heard before was Phantom of the Opera many, many years ago as I love anything POTO. However I was not expecting what I got when I watched GLS @ Wacken. There are no words to describe it. X🤟🏻🤞🏻
First song of theirs I ever heard about 4 yrs ago. I'm 64 and it Floored me! Wacken 2013 is probably the finest concert I've ever seen or heard. Best quality here; ua-cam.com/video/zJWz_AQhofE/v-deo.html
Thank you Preston, for the awesome Reaction as always!! Nightwish is truly one of a kind with this current singer!!! They had two other singers, one operatic, the other more pop, Floor (their current singer) can and does it all and then some!!! Yes she’s that good!!! I suggest either another Epic song- Greatest Show on Earth-live.... or to see Floor rock out and head bang, go with Romanticide or Storytime, Dark Chest of Wonders from Wacken 2013 live.. the last 3 are shorter songs, but definitely awesome....
That’s a Great Duet for sure... Floor singing Epica’s song as good as she does... craziness!!! I love Epica, but Floor is the Queen. Love this though!!
This band is on a completely different level than most other bands. It's super long, doesn't feel like it,and you never want it to end. Absolutely amazing. Check out The Islander and Greatest Show on Earth!
Oooh, really glad you did that one so fast ! Now onto The Greatest Show on Earth ! :) And more than turning it up instead of just standing there, it's more due to her confidence. The other show you watched was one of her first big shows with the band... here, three years later, she's totally into her own !
I think it was more her trying to get the perfect performance of Ghost Love Score and thuis being more focussed on her singing then actual stage presence. If u watch other songs from that show she is way more active and confident on stage.
Always loved Nightwish, Tuomas as the genious writer, Marco with hes raspy voice and devilish eyes, Tarja the first vocalist who started up with the band and set a huge milestone in her era. When i see Nightwish today i love them even more. Floor Jansen and the band in general, the feel of it. Its fucking amazing. I fucking love this band. Its one of the best things ive seen ever and prob will be for a long time still. :) Keep up the good work Preston, this channel has started to really grow on me!
The way you express your reactions and emotions is something so real and pure. Keep up the good work, i think you're ready to see The Greatest Show on Earth 👌
Wishmaster is classic, beauty and the beast is classic... Nemo is literally one of their best selling songs on their best selling album (at least at the time) at the absolute height of their fame with Tarja
They are phenomanal live! Floors voice is like an angel. She can do everything with her voice. The Instruments and everything in this are just Wow!! Its really art as you say.... 👌🏼 greetings from Germany 😉👋🏼 Love your reaction as always
2015 drove the 3hrs to Dallas to see them live, Then turned around the next year and took my then 10 year old daughter to the Okla City in show in 2016.
God I love your perspective! It helps me appreciate the music I've loved years in ways that I've never considered and that just adds even more to my experiences. Seriously, I love what you're doing.
I already said this in other reaction for the same video: "This song, in particular this live video, is more than just a performance, it is an experience. You feel every word that is sung by Floor. It is a masterpiece, indeed."
nobody tells a story through the music better then Nightwish, period!! My bucket list concert for sure! I've got to say I am new to this channel and I am impressed with how you roll on this channel! You are one of fav Reaction channels now kudos dude! the way in which you actually appreciate the music not just listen to it is everything!
I appreciate your honest reactions. Found you when you reacted to metallica and you've turned me on to some new artists. Subbed on your reaction to Ghost Love Score, and look forward to more from you.
I love how you bring it back. That is the way to do this reaction thing. You do this right. And without further ado... awww yeah...now we can proceed. Here we go!
I was at the concert when this was recorded and I have to say it is one of the best concerts I have ever been at. Totally flawless from start to finish
Music industry: a song is 3 minutes
Nightwish: NO.
More like ... did you say 23 min ? Yeah we can do that .
Certainly!
@@pete_lind actually, The Greatest Show is 24.01 to be precise LOL
no, THE INTRO is 3 minutes at least
In my opinion, the live versions of Nightwish are even better than the studio versions.
Cosmic86x agreed, I think that’s one of the best things about them, they can actually perform live, unfortunately that’s rare these days
They ARE. Its how you can recognize a great band like Nightwish. But still songs like PAN or Tribal from their new album just rock.
Just like the S&M Nothing else matters version
That’s the mark of a great band, that they are better live.
I want to say the studio is top tier but I have to agree with ur statement, yea this live version is better then the album.
Best of musical virtuosity + best of theatre + best of storytelling = Nightwish
She's like a Siren, you looked as if you were in a trance. Can't blame you, their range and performances are mind blowing.

That's the logical next step!
The Tampere version please..
Amaranth or Escapist or even better, Dark Chest of Wonders.
Yeaaaaah! I agree!!!
I didn't think of that for some reason, you're right
Tuomas Holopainen is one of the best composer in the metal genre. They are so talented.
The best ;)
Yeah, Toumas and Tobías Sammet are muy favourites
Devin Townsend and Arjen Anthony Lucassen say hello :)
For me Toumas, Tobias, and Tony (Kakko) are the metal hat trick.
@Nicholas Malfatti I wanna see it can you tell me, is it a video? Link it if u can.
First react channel I've seen that does it right. Takes their time and goes back to listen to parts of the song again.
Now this kind of react channel I can get behind.
True, I wish he knew the meaning of the song before listening though. At least he appreciated it while listening. +1 year thought 😉

@@evilfriz666 I wouldn't argue with that one either. Both are breathtaking performances!!!!

First song of theirs I ever heard about 4 yrs ago. I'm 64 and it Floored me!
Wacken 2013 is probably the finest concert I've ever seen or heard. Best quality here;

Burn your pants?! Hahahahahaha that's a new one for me
Thank you Preston, for the awesome Reaction as always!! Nightwish is truly one of a kind with this current singer!!! They had two other singers, one operatic, the other more pop, Floor (their current singer) can and does it all and then some!!! Yes she’s that good!!!
I suggest either another Epic song- Greatest Show on Earth-live.... or to see Floor rock out and head bang, go with Romanticide or Storytime, Dark Chest of Wonders from Wacken 2013 live.. the last 3 are shorter songs, but definitely awesome....

That’s a Great Duet for sure... Floor singing Epica’s song as good as she does... craziness!!! I love Epica, but Floor is the Queen. Love this though!!
lets get this guy on some jinjer-picses
Yes!
We've asked for a long time. I can't imagine how many songs he's got queued up to react to.
hell yeah!!! his reaction would be priceless!
he will be rekt... he thinks Floor Jansen has range... hehehehehe....
@@escher2112 tbf they have equal range, just Floor does not get to show of her growlign all too often. Not really something NW endulges in too often.
Nightwish - Greatest Show On Earth - Live Tampere
Another vote for The Greatest Show On Earth live from Tempere!!! Dude, EVERY SONG is as good as the next with this band 🤘👍🏻
Why was/is everyone suggesting Tempere over Wembley?
Their songs sound like soundtracks from epic movies...symphonic dreaminess, then the edge kicks in.
"This is just DIFFERENT, bro. It's DIFFERENT!" 😩😂😂😂❤️
I love watching you and others dive headfirst into music many of us have come to love. It's almost like hearing these songs for the first time again.
This band is on a completely different level than most other bands. It's super long, doesn't feel like it,and you never want it to end. Absolutely amazing. Check out The Islander and Greatest Show on Earth!
Oooh, really glad you did that one so fast !
Now onto The Greatest Show on Earth ! :)
And more than turning it up instead of just standing there, it's more due to her confidence. The other show you watched was one of her first big shows with the band... here, three years later, she's totally into her own !
I think it was more her trying to get the perfect performance of Ghost Love Score and thuis being more focussed on her singing then actual stage presence. If u watch other songs from that show she is way more active and confident on stage.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.i have engage in the soul clap for this epic band that i have came across with you.
Your first time experiencing the windmill and you reaction was everything I wanted
Funfact: This song is actually written in acts, just like classical music
Always loved Nightwish, Tuomas as the genious writer, Marco with hes raspy voice and devilish eyes, Tarja the first vocalist who started up with the band and set a huge milestone in her era. When i see Nightwish today i love them even more. Floor Jansen and the band in general, the feel of it. Its fucking amazing. I fucking love this band. Its one of the best things ive seen ever and prob will be for a long time still. :) Keep up the good work Preston, this channel has started to really grow on me!
She brings tears to my eyes, happiness to my heart and floorgasms to my ears, she's captured me body and soul.
The way you express your reactions and emotions is something so real and pure. Keep up the good work, i think you're ready to see The Greatest Show on Earth 👌
I’m sooooo glad and happy about your reactions of Nightwish! They are really passionate at everything and we all feel it through these performances!
Nigthwish storytime live in wacken 2013 please
One of my favorites 🤘🏽
Yes, Yes, YES!! AMAZING!!!
All the Majesty and greatness of NIghtwish crammed into a nice 5 minute package!!
Yeah andv he is gonna love Floor's windmill.
Yes! React to this one!
Ever dream by nightwish end of an era is great and so is pharoah sails to orion
I had never heard of Nightwish but now I am hooked! Love the reaction
She is like a SIREN of Legends.
Her voice enraptures all who hear her sing. Flawless Victory.
"When you're so good you can have a conversation in the middle of a song..." love this comment...that's our Nightwish!
The Art of Nightwish and The Art of Preston´s Reaction :-) Win win. Thanks bro, honest and from the heart, as it should be !
Watching you discover bands is amazing dude. You just have this look of joy in your eyes and that's what music should be
If the four horsemen were to ride out, then Nightwish would be the soundtrack to the end of the world.
You're ready. Greatest Show on Earth at Tampere is next.
I literally lept when I saw this pop up, lol. Ty!
Ugh, watching your sheer joy at these performances makes the world a brighter place. Keep it up :)
Another great reaction ... I love how you pay attention to the details ,That's really important.
Loved your reaction so much... Great job.
Thank you
Nightwish "nemo" ...another classic!
Wishmaster is classic, beauty and the beast is classic... Nemo is literally one of their best selling songs on their best selling album (at least at the time) at the absolute height of their fame with Tarja
New favorite reaction channel by far! Hold onnnnnnn braaaaaaahhhhh!!! lol
Love your videos, thanks and keep on making them.
one of the best nightwish reactions ive seen..you have good taste my man
They are phenomanal live! Floors voice is like an angel. She can do everything with her voice. The Instruments and everything in this are just Wow!! Its really art as you say.... 👌🏼 greetings from Germany 😉👋🏼 Love your reaction as always
2015 drove the 3hrs to Dallas to see them live, Then turned around the next year and took my then 10 year old daughter to the Okla City in show in 2016.
God I love your perspective! It helps me appreciate the music I've loved years in ways that I've never considered and that just adds even more to my experiences. Seriously, I love what you're doing.
I already said this in other reaction for the same video: "This song, in particular this live video, is more than just a performance, it is an experience. You feel every word that is sung by Floor. It is a masterpiece, indeed."
This song is set up as a play. 5 parts
I've clicked the like even though I've never heard this song before
Will watch this no doubt epic performance later.
nobody tells a story through the music better then Nightwish, period!! My bucket list concert for sure! I've got to say I am new to this channel and I am impressed with how you roll on this channel! You are one of fav Reaction channels now kudos dude! the way in which you actually appreciate the music not just listen to it is everything!
Many great groups out there, with many great songs. Nightwish can stand with the best. Great reaction and continue the journey.
The greatest show on Earth live at Tampere. Nuff Said.
I appreciate your honest reactions. Found you when you reacted to metallica and you've turned me on to some new artists. Subbed on your reaction to Ghost Love Score, and look forward to more from you.
Another Great reaction Preston. Thank you for giving my favourite band a shot. Big hi to all you fellow fans.
I love how you bring it back. That is the way to do this reaction thing. You do this right. And without further ado... awww yeah...now we can proceed. Here we go!
Nightwish and Epica are the best bands on the planet!!
Preston
It is my dream to see You react to Queen's Live Aid performance
It is the best of all time
And it's 24 minutes long. Stay healthy man,peace
Worth the 24 minutes...
+1
Thank you for once again broadening my horizons
I love your reactions to Nightwish. True appreciation of their talent is so well expressed!!!!
Nightwish is excellent and it truly IS like watching live theater!! And good God can Floor sing!! You can tell much more of her range with them. ❤👍🎶😮
Nightwish with Floor is awesome. Should check out Kamelot.
March of Mephisto!!
Pretty much anything from One Cold Winters Night would be awesome.
Yes
Thanks for the Nightwish concert bro! Started with Ghost Love Score now we here. Peeeeeaaaaace!
I was at the concert when this was recorded and I have to say it is one of the best concerts I have ever been at. Totally flawless from start to finish
