@@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.
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'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.
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 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.
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!
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
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! ☺️
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 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.
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.
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..
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
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 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
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!
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.
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.
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!
You’re so honest man. It’s refreshing .The fact that you skip back often when something hits you is the same I do. Other channels seem to get the video done and finished and worry about negative comments.
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!
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!
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!!
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.
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🤟🏻🤞🏻
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.
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
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."
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
Thank you so much young sir! We ALL need to appreciate each others cultures in order to be a culture. I love all music--but to have a younger man appreciate it brings warmness to my heart. We are all Americans--we need to realize this.
I'm glad I started watching your and Alex Hefner reaction videos. I was always a huge fan of Dream Theater, but because of you I've become a fan of Nightwish, Epica and one more that's escaping my mind right now.
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
You are one of the only channels that I laugh out loud to. I absolutely lose my shit when you see metal that's so beautiful and amazing that it just fries your brain for a second and you just try to think of what to say and not be speechless (because of how happy it makes me feel to see someone enjoying this art-form). Absolutely love it man, keep up the good work. And you'll love Sacred Worlds by Blind Guardian for sure if you're into Nightwish. Symphonic power metal is one hell of a drug, sir. Cheers!
I saw the title of this video and thought, 'Oh man. King KTF is going to be blown away with this song.' Sure enough, you were. This song has it all. Heavy Metal mixed with ballad and Opera. True art.
Nightwish is my favorite band. They have had a few different vocalists over the years. Vocalist changes work out fine though because the band is about the songwriting not a specific vocalist. The keyboardist tuomas hollopain writes all the music and all the lyrics for all the songs (except for a very small handful). He basically being the visionary and writer is the heart of the band. The first 5 albums tarja was the main singer, albums 6 and 7 the singer was Annette, and album 8 and upcoming 9th is floor ( the vocalist you have been reacting to). Ghost love score was a Tasha era song, poet and pendulum is a Annette era song. Marcos ( male vocals and bass on album 4 through upcoming 9th), tuomas (the keyboardist who writes all the music/ lyrics) did male vocals on 1st album, male vocals on 2nd album was a guest spot from another band for 2 songs, no male vocals on 3rd album ( unless you count a few spoken word parts). Great reaction videos. Check out more nightwish, and continue to witness why tuomas is the best songwriter ever!! Some reccomendations for songs to check out by them: Tarja era- The pharough sails to Orion The devil and the deep dark ocean (I think that is name of song) Bless the child Slaying the dreamer Beauty of the beast Kinslayer Wishmaster Creek Mary's blood Wish I had a angel Stargazers The carpenter The siren Annette era- bye bye beautiful Meadows of heaven While your lips are still red Master passion greed 7 days to the wolves The islander I want my tears back The crow the owl the dove Ghost river Song of myself( listen to studio version they only play 1st half of this song live the 2nd half is a poem set to music) Scaretale Last ride of the day Floor era- the greatest show on earth Elan Shudder before the beautiful Endless forms most beautiful ....... Note: all three vocalists sound great on studio version, Annette is not that great live so for Annette songs listen to studio or floor do them live. Annette is really good on album recordings though. But yeah can't go wrong with nightwish they are amazing. Hope you continue to enjoy them and Thomas great songwriting. ....... Once again great reaction videos ..... Another band you should check out is amaranthe
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
I don't say this often about reactors to music I love, but I really love you man. Your reactions resonate with me. You have found your calling in these reactions Bro.
I stumbled on your channel and I'm pleased you gave great reviews of Nightwish. I'm from Ohio, but lived in Germany back in the 90s. That's when I got hooked on them. They are like a fine wine. That get better with age. Although, some of my favorite is with Tarja singing. Listen to some of there first 5 albums. Also, a treat
I don't think the world would survive of Maynard James Keenan and Nightwish collabed. It would be too amazing, humanity wasn't meant to witness something so perfect
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!
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.
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

Yeah, Toumas and Tobías Sammet are muy favourites
Devin Townsend and Arjen Anthony Lucassen say hello :)

Nightwish-greatest show on earth live @tampere. 21 minutes of pure heaven
Please, I beg you.
I personally like the Wembley version more
@@evilfriz666 I wouldn't argue with that one either. Both are breathtaking performances!!!!
Danny Richey true! But the live part, spoken by Richard Dawkins, is the trigger for me to prefer that one
Please do this 🤟
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.
Nightwish - the greatest show on earth, that's what's next broooo!
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
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 😉
Her majesty Floor. Saw them live last month. No words can describe the perfection
I'm so jelaous!! She is queen of music💗💗💗
Me too, Nightwish first time in Paris, last November!
Absolutely no regret!

@@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
I was Floored!

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!
Holy shit, Toolwish,
Now I need this.
nighttool :P hmm maybe it will come on the tree :P
@@ronninielsen365
NightTool sounds like a lady-pleasuring device.
Why not, he performed with Tori Amos.
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.
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.
She brings tears to my eyes, happiness to my heart and floorgasms to my ears, she's captured me body and soul.
I believe your ready to see The Greatest Show On Earth live @Tampere. Be warn though, it will blow you away and appreciate true art.
Yes, please. It is not a song, it is an experiene.
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!
Romanticide, song for myself and of course phantom of the opera with Tarja
3 thumbs up to this comment
Beauty of the Beast with Tarja ;)
I would like to hear Ghost River from Wachen 2013...but you are right Phantom of the Opera with Tarja from End of an Era, would be wonderful
Romanticide for sure, from Wacken 2013
@@drasgaming5017 yes, but studio version
You’re so honest man. It’s refreshing .The fact that you skip back often when something hits you is the same I do. Other channels seem to get the video done and finished and worry about negative comments.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.i have engage in the soul clap for this epic band that i have came across with you.
This is huge huge praise to give. But she is the female version of Freddie Mercury. Simply flawless.
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!
Your first time experiencing the windmill and you reaction was everything I wanted
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!
ROMANTICIDE - NIGHTWISH! PLEAASEEE!! Your reactions are the best!!!!
Betina Forbeck love it and I want my tears back is magic live
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....
ua-cam.com/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/v-deo.html
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!!
The song is The Poet and the Pendulum, so they have giant pendulum blades swinging in the background. That's brilliant, and fucking metal as hell.
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.
Erica Connors I even enjoyed Amaranth/Reach when he sang it
Welcome to our Nightwish Family. Prepare to find Neverland.
Their songs sound like soundtracks from epic movies...symphonic dreaminess, then the edge kicks in.
Watching you discover bands is amazing dude. You just have this look of joy in your eyes and that's what music should be
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🤟🏻🤞🏻
Ugh, watching your sheer joy at these performances makes the world a brighter place. Keep it up :)
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?
Your reaction was amazing. How did you do not to cry with such an emotional music and devastanting lyrics?. Hugs from Argentina
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.
Many great groups out there, with many great songs. Nightwish can stand with the best. Great reaction and continue the journey.
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
Kari, can not agree more. I keep watching these awesome reactions from King KTF. Greetings from Siuntio and thanks for raising Conan ;)
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.
"When you're so good you can have a conversation in the middle of a song..." love this comment...that's our Nightwish!
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."
Nightwish - Greatest Show On Earth - Live Tampere
I love your reactions to Nightwish. True appreciation of their talent is so well expressed!!!!
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
Another Great reaction Preston. Thank you for giving my favourite band a shot. Big hi to all you fellow fans.
Ever dream by nightwish end of an era is great and so is pharoah sails to orion
This is a bonus video for me. I get to see the Nightwish video, and get to watch the King react to it. This guy has the BEST reactions EVER.
She is like a SIREN of Legends.
Her voice enraptures all who hear her sing. Flawless Victory.
Thank you so much young sir! We ALL need to appreciate each others cultures in order to be a culture. I love all music--but to have a younger man appreciate it brings warmness to my heart. We are all Americans--we need to realize this.
I'm glad I started watching your and Alex Hefner reaction videos. I was always a huge fan of Dream Theater, but because of you I've become a fan of Nightwish, Epica and one more that's escaping my mind right now.
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
New favorite reaction channel by far! Hold onnnnnnn braaaaaaahhhhh!!! lol
You are one of the only channels that I laugh out loud to. I absolutely lose my shit when you see metal that's so beautiful and amazing that it just fries your brain for a second and you just try to think of what to say and not be speechless (because of how happy it makes me feel to see someone enjoying this art-form). Absolutely love it man, keep up the good work. And you'll love Sacred Worlds by Blind Guardian for sure if you're into Nightwish. Symphonic power metal is one hell of a drug, sir. Cheers!
The greatest show on Earth live at Tampere. Nuff Said.
one of the best nightwish reactions ive seen..you have good taste my man
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. ❤👍🎶😮
I saw the title of this video and thought, 'Oh man. King KTF is going to be blown away with this song.' Sure enough, you were. This song has it all. Heavy Metal mixed with ballad and Opera. True art.
Nightwish is my favorite band. They have had a few different vocalists over the years. Vocalist changes work out fine though because the band is about the songwriting not a specific vocalist. The keyboardist tuomas hollopain writes all the music and all the lyrics for all the songs (except for a very small handful). He basically being the visionary and writer is the heart of the band. The first 5 albums tarja was the main singer, albums 6 and 7 the singer was Annette, and album 8 and upcoming 9th is floor ( the vocalist you have been reacting to). Ghost love score was a Tasha era song, poet and pendulum is a Annette era song. Marcos ( male vocals and bass on album 4 through upcoming 9th), tuomas (the keyboardist who writes all the music/ lyrics) did male vocals on 1st album, male vocals on 2nd album was a guest spot from another band for 2 songs, no male vocals on 3rd album ( unless you count a few spoken word parts). Great reaction videos. Check out more nightwish, and continue to witness why tuomas is the best songwriter ever!!
Some reccomendations for songs to check out by them: Tarja era-
The pharough sails to Orion
The devil and the deep dark ocean (I think that is name of song)
Bless the child
Slaying the dreamer
Beauty of the beast
Kinslayer
Wishmaster
Creek Mary's blood
Wish I had a angel
Stargazers
The carpenter
The siren
Annette era- bye bye beautiful
Meadows of heaven
While your lips are still red
Master passion greed
7 days to the wolves
The islander
I want my tears back
The crow the owl the dove
Ghost river
Song of myself( listen to studio version they only play 1st half of this song live the 2nd half is a poem set to music)
Scaretale
Last ride of the day
Floor era- the greatest show on earth
Elan
Shudder before the beautiful
Endless forms most beautiful
.......
Note: all three vocalists sound great on studio version, Annette is not that great live so for Annette songs listen to studio or floor do them live. Annette is really good on album recordings though.
But yeah can't go wrong with nightwish they are amazing.
Hope you continue to enjoy them and Thomas great songwriting.
.......
Once again great reaction videos
.....
Another band you should check out is amaranthe
dude, you're smile is so heartwarming. Just found nightwish today... thank you for, well, just being you dude.
You're ready. Greatest Show on Earth at Tampere is next.
Okay, I pretty much watch these videos because of your reactions. Your reaction to Marco's vocals made my day.
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
I don't say this often about reactors to music I love, but I really love you man. Your reactions resonate with me. You have found your calling in these reactions Bro.
Nightwish and Epica are the best bands on the planet!!
I stumbled on your channel and I'm pleased you gave great reviews of Nightwish. I'm from Ohio, but lived in Germany back in the 90s. That's when I got hooked on them. They are like a fine wine. That get better with age. Although, some of my favorite is with Tarja singing. Listen to some of there first 5 albums. Also, a treat
The greatest show on earth next. Just freaking epic. We were here
Rockin' me with Nightwsh !
Super!!
Not all of their songs are as long as first two you have done, but the same beauty will be found :)
I don't think the world would survive of Maynard James Keenan and Nightwish collabed. It would be too amazing, humanity wasn't meant to witness something so perfect
ktf ....
Greatest Show On Earth - Live performance from Tampere nightwish.....pfff i have no words
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!
