Hello JuliettJess [ @JuliettJess ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community
🤘
Omg your dedication is incredible!!
Thank you so much for leaving this comment, it means the world to me ❤️
This band have such a long history of just beautiful music and I cannot wait to dive more into there music, I will most certainly be looking into your links on your channel for future reference ❤
@@JuliettJessI'm glad that you appreciated the whole performance, this gives me hope that you will continue exploring. Nightwish has a long and complicated history, so in my opinion as well as that of many other fans, this information will help you find your own way more easily in a real ocean of music, composed and performed already for more for a quarter of a century. Like a compass and a map. You have a new subscriber here, as a sign of encouragement. I trust that we will meet again soon.
All the best, from Romania!
@@JuliettJess Glad you decided to react to this band,They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,hope you decide to dip your toe into some more..if you do then definitely use Gabriel’s list as it has the best quality videos performance and audio wise.👍
Greetings from Finland🇫🇮 new subscriber here say hello and welcome to wonderful and magical word of Nightwish ❤ i thinking, you are welcome to Nightwish army, fan family.
@@JuliettJess You are so beautiful
Sometimes I forget how impress she is and I just think , oh that’s just Floor what’s the big deal” and then I snap out of it.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish and Floor Jansen, The Goddess Voice of Heaven and Earth. Enjoy your journey.
Thank you!
Don't expect every Nightwish song to be like this. Every song is different and each one an adventure. Stick to live performances from different concerts and you'll hear how versatile they are.
Thanks for letting me know 😊👍🏻
Definitely stick to the live performances. 😂
@@JuliettJessWatching the whole Wacken 2013 - if you never heard this band before - will be more like going to the concert and seeing them for the first time (even if you're watching it song by song - to actually watch the whole show in a row might be more epic. A NW concert night.) I saw this concert on UA-cam in 2014. First time I saw Floor. Just amazing. There's so many more music from Tuomas and Floor that you can listen to after that.
This is Wacken 2013:

One of the best Live bands in the World. Floor for Queen. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nightwish is not just a band, but experience. I've been a fan since 1999, and they never cease to amaze me. Great reaction btw 🤟
Another soul snatched by the Valkyrie Godess
Nothing like discovering one of the greatest vocalist and bands on the planet.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish, and the genre of metal music called Symphonic Metal, it is indeed a deep, deep rabbit hole!! Floor is the group's 3rd singer, the original singer Tarja (who this song was originally written for) had a much more pronounced "operatic" style voice. Anette was the 2nd vocalist and had a much more pop/rock orientated vocal, and then came Floor who had been singing with the band for about 10 months when this show at Wacken in 2013 was performed (she wasn't actually confirmed as a full time member of the band at this point in time as she had famously agreed to join the group on their US tour at short notice when Anette became ill, and travelled from Europe to join them and perform her first concert with only 48 hours notice!)
I did see there were previous singers before Floor which I found interesting!
I feel at one point I may look into listening the other 2, I wouldn’t compare them as such but would love to see the differences like you mentioned 👍🏻
@@JuliettJess Yes, be very careful with comparing the 3, especially Floor and Tarja, as it can strike quite a raw nerve with some ardent fans of certain eras of the band and it just gets very messy in the comments. Unfortunately Anette never really hit the same level of performance of either Tarja or Floor live, so her studio material is probably the best way to sample her vocals. Also, be ready to discover a surprise 4th and 5th vocalist!!
FLOOR JANSEN (GODDESS FLOOR)
IS THE BEST SINGER IN THIS PLANET !!!
AND NIGHTWISH = PURE ART MUSIC.
THEY ALWAYS BE IN TOP LEVEL!!!
EVERY SONG BLOW YOUR MIND!!!
YOUR JOURNEY JUST START.
This song blew my mind from the get go!!! 🌬️
Floor's versatile, powerful, pitch perfect voice is second to none. She performs in God-Mode. 🤘😊
I dare to say that God performs in Floor-Mode
😂😂😂😂😂❤@@rodwinter5748
Now this is a proper band and possibly the most complete package vocalist/performer to ever take the stage.
Singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants ❤once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch show ❤and it sound amazing ❤her voice just touch your soul and grab your heart ❤
My Queen Goddess Floorever!
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish!!!!❤❤❤❤
I never ever get tired of watching first time reactions to Nightwish, especially Ghost Love Score! Your reactions were wonderful!
👍🤘🫡🇳🇱
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you ❤️
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’.
Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera).
'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’.
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’
Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see.
Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish.
Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 7 years next march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.
Wow thanks for leaving this comment, I really appreciate it!
I absolutely love and thank anyone who leave such in-depth comments for me to read but also for others to learn more than they might not already know.
I will definitely be looking into more of these recommendations to learn more about them, thanks again!
Let's not forget her collaboration over the years with Arjen Lucassen in Star One and Ayreon, another very deep rabbit hole.
@@DeeDee80 I agree. You must have see and listen to this projects and known the scene and best singers from the world.
Nightwish songs never are what you're expecting. And I can still say that after having been a fan for more than 25 years.
You just discovered simply the world's best band. Enjoy the experience; it'll be a great ride - such an incredible high.
For some contrast, you might try "7 days To The Wolves" live at Wembley next. Or maybe the Epic emotions of "The Poet And The Pendulum". Then there's the all-encompassing "The Greatest Show On Earth" which is....well, the title says it all!
Truth is, you can't go wrong with any of this band's many live performances.
This is the most reacted to song on YT. Thus they love to put an ad right in the middle. welcome to the world of Nightwish. You have just met the Dutch queen of symphonic metal, Floor Jansen. Gabriel below will inform you and provide you with copious suggestions and links for additional reactions. If you decide to take the journey we will be happy to take the ride with you. So much more beautiful melodies and epic music to experience. Hope to see you again very soon JuliettJess.
Watch the same video on the band's official channel if you want to avoid the ad interruption.
Scottish Division checking in...prepare to smile shiver and so much more......enjoy the journey
Nightwish has always been considered as a live band but were taken to another level after this singer, Floor Jansen, joined only ten months previously mid tour in the USA with only 48 hours to travel from The Netherlands and learn the setlist. Every song (15) had been written for other singers before she joined.
Thanks for the reaction, welcome to Nightwish, greetings from Colombia
Angel, Siren, Temptest, demon all rolled into one.
Yes, many forget Floors demon side (only on stage). She is so a humble and lovely person ❤
Great reaction! Live is the best way to hear this band. Enjoy! 🙂
Hi there - greetings from Scotland. I think that Floor and her boys are about to take you on an incredible and emotional ride. Strap yourself in and enjoy!
Your epic journey in the enchanted Realm of Nighwish is just at the beginning...
Glad you appreciate the band 😉👍
Great reaction
Greetings from 🇳🇱 🤘
welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive).
I’ve never seen such amazing live performances in my life!
@@JuliettJess this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream"
this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal.
Thank you for an excellent reaction. I enjoyed watching your face as you sat there in shock! Trust me, it’s a common reaction.
It’s a shame you have only just discovered them because they have taken a break from touring. I was there when they played to a packed Wembley Arena in 2022 and it was just mind blowing. But the good news is that there are tons of amazing live videos to check out.
If you got to Gabriel Bardac’s famous list you will find links to the best version of their songs.
Really looking forward to your next Nightwish reaction.
Greetings from Oxfordshire.
Hello Juliett Jess.
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Nightwish Army, Jacksonville Fl. division here. Welcome aboard the Nightwish train. Great reaction. General Gabriel will steer you straight for the best videos.
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done and welcome to the Nightwish Family
Thank you!! 😁
Hello JulietJess and welcome to the phenomenal band that Nightwish is! Seeing your lovely reaction I'm 100% sure you're going to enjoy every minute of this huge rabbit hole. Fyi At this concert Floor Jansen was only 10 months with the band. She stepped in halfway NW's World Tour, after the 2nd singer left the band. Floor had only 48 hrs to learn the setlist, 15 songs! And she nailed it! Ghost Love Score was no. 13. Have fun exploring the band and greetings from The Netherlands!
And that's how you get floorgasm... Enjoy the rabbit hole
That's our Dutch Valkyrie Goddess and pride Floor Jansen with the greatest band of all time. You've actualy seen the tip of the iceberg. I invite you to dive deeper into the rabbit hole that is Nightwish. It's gonna be a ride you'll enjoy!
Head shaking in disbelief, jaw on the floor half the time, yep…it all tracks.
Yeah is real. Very nice reaction.
Welcome to the awesome world of Nightwish , you have a great journey in front of you I promise. If you are in to this type of music they have no bad songs as you will find out soon enough. And also great variety of sounds, no songs are alike yet you can feel it is Nightwish.
Anyway I'm rambling on, welcome and you have my sub 👍🤘
THe Poet And The Pendulum ....❤
One thing I enjoy watching repeatedly is the singer herself reacting to this video.
She did that on her UA-cam channel, oh probably 2 or 3 years ago now.
But it is absolutely fascinating to me to hear the actual singer's thoughts on this very performance, from her point of view.
I don't know why, but I just find that massively interesting.
Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. You are in for an incredible ride with this amazing band. You will get lots of posts and suggestions from the Nightwish Army. You are in good hands. Just follow the suggestions (or pick any song) and you will not be disappointed. Great reaction. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney, Australia Division) 🇦🇺🤘
Greatest live band on the planet...two world class front people in Floor (lead vocals) and Marko (Bass/guitar/vocals). One of THE great vocalists of our time in Floor (Marko's pretty good too). The genius that is Tuomas writing these works of art and rocking out on the keyboard. A real life animal (think Muppets) on the drums with Jukka and the impish prince on guitar, as amazing as he is playful, Emppu. Then you have the Swiss (British) army knife known as Troy just to rub it in to all the other bands. Greatest live band on the planet. Follow the lists and you're in for a journey.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish, the greatest band on this planet - you have so much incredible music to discover if you take the journey - sub'd in the hope that you do 🤘
Thank you so much!
I shall be listening to more of their music soon, I promise ✨
The Finnish symphonic metal band "Nightwish". Greetings from Finland.
I heard this band for the first time last summer on youtube . I started with this song and next day went and bought the CD Showtime Storytime , hope you react to Storytime and Ever Dream as well as all of this concert
I concur
"Everyone is so nice"
Nightwish isn't just a band or music. Nightwish is a lifestyle. Stive to be better than we actully are. Nicer than we think we can be. Not to just each other but to ourselves as well.
I concur!
👋🇮🇹🖖
I concur
she is one of the most versatile singers with that voice such effortless transitions between highs and lows operatic its quite incredible the range both she and they have together
Nightwish and Metal in general are thee genre. This group and Babymetal gotta have the best shows in the world.
Although they aren't massively well known here in the UK (you sound like a fellow Brit) they do headline the bigger arenas when they play here.
Across Europe they have had a number of big hits - including 13 number 1 singles in their native Finland. 🇬🇧👍
So true about not well known in the UK. I only came across them about 2 1/2 years ago by chance off another reaction channel for GLS.
I was hooked after looking at more songs from this Wacken concert.🎣
@@paulmarsh4079 I had a couple of their CDs with Tarja, but would have classed myself a casual fan at that time.
It was seeing a GLS reaction 4 years ago that really elevated my enthusiasm for them - they are my favourite band now and I've acquired many more CDs & Blu-rays.
I was fortunate in that my French girlfriend (at the time) put me onto them. We saw them perform in Nottingham in 2004, and even stayed in the same hotel as them 😊
Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France , avec un peu de retard ( beaucoup ) très très bonne réaction et belle analyse à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Vous venez de faire connaissance du métal symphonique et de notre reine Floor, mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Continuez sur le festival du Wacken Open Air 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe et sont à écouter absolument. Cette chanson est la 11 sur les 15 du set complet, ensuite toujours dans le même concert, faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse, ensuite je conseille une petite histoire comme Storytime un excellent rock entêtant puis essayez du plus lourd avec Ghost River pour entendre le surprenant mélange des voix de Floor avec Marko ou plus lourd encore avec Romanticide..... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel Bardac devait arriver sous peu, ou retournez sur votre première réaction au groupe ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel d'avoir repris le flambeau de notre regrettée Anne ) cliquez sur son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre une petite partie du meilleur du groupe. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait ........ Merci et à bientôt. Bonne écoute et un nouvel abonné ici.......Paix sur vous mon amie..
In the latter part f the song there is a crowd shot of a large girl with her arms in the air, head back, eyes closed totally caught up in it. That is how I feel every time I see this performance.
Welcome to this wonderful band... your reaction was great and the expression on your face so honest and wonderful to see. Enjoy this journey 😊
Thank you so much!!
Great reaction! Welcome to Nightwish-world
Hellooooo! ❤
This is a musical rabbit hole you probably want to go down. This is some of the best music you will find today. I see Gabe has sent you his welcome and list of songs. Go for it. Every new song will blow your mind with how good this band is. After suffering almost 30 years of questionable music out of North America, I found Nightwish about 5 years ago. They have renewed by faith in musicianship, lyric writing, and production. Buckle up, you're in for one heck of a ride. Enjoy
Congratulations you've just discovered the greatest female singer on earth Floor Jansen
You got it right from the get go.. welcome to the Army ❤
Hi, JuliettJess, Nightwish Army Bavaria, Germany reporting for duty.
Awesome reaction, thanks for that. 🤘👍🤘 In the hope that you will continue exploring the path of Nightwish and Floor Jansen, you got just another sub. And, believe me, every Nightwish song will be an experience, every Nightwish song will be different, but it will always be unmistakeably Nightwish. You can't go wrong with General Gabriel's list of recommendations, but in my eyes Nightwish is best served live (Wacken 2013, Tampere & Wembley 2015, Buenos Aires 2018), and for Floor solo, I recommend anything from the Beste Zangers 2019 TV show or the covers from Floors YT-channel done during the pandemic.
Greetings from Germany, Prog O'Holic
Thank you for checking out my video!
Some great suggestions here, I’ll pop these down, excited to listen to more NIGHTWISH! ✨👍🏻
Nightwish Army, South Brittany France, welcome to the world of symphphonic metal. introducing the Valkyrie, the Goddess, Floor Jansen, sent from Valhalla to collect the souls of fallen warriors to sit with Odin.
Welcome to the pinnacle of perfection. Not one note too many, not one note less. No autotune, no post production shenanigans. They are like gods - with instruments. And then there's Floor who takes command of your heart and soul. She has no equal, as you are soon to discover.
Hi Jess, like you i have always appreciated bands, groups, solo singers of all types of music who have to play well, sing well and put on that extra performance live. Why did i not come across SYMPHONIC METAL many years ago. Fantastic live performance. Like you i am in ore of this performance. A great reaction from you so keep them coming. Also great comments from your listeners. very kind regards, from GB, England, Birmingham, Peaky Blinders country.
So good!! Turn it up!!
This song is like a story rolling by slowly. Like a fleeting moment stretched beyond the veil of one's own soul.
Words like "wow" and "my god" are barely adequate to describe the epic-ness of this performance!
It was my first song with Nightwish. Then I was stuck.
Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Welcome to the GREATEST band on the planet, led by the GREATEST voice of our generation, the Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. Enjoy your ride!! ❤️🤘
Symphonic metal at it's absolute best!!! Floor's voice is undeniable.
One of my favorite bits of trivia on this performance is that it occured over an hour into their set, and our Valkyrie Goddess was able to do that.
Great reaction! None of us were prepared for what was in store when we first heard the greatest band on earth. It’s why we watch reactions bc it gives us joy to watch others experience the same . Please do more bc believe it or not this is the tip of the NW iceberg. Every song is unique and tells a story. They give 100% in every performance. So much so that Floor actually collapsed last year from exhaustion bc she wouldn’t quit the tour even while pregnant. Follow Gabriel’s suggestions! NWA Philadelphia subscribed.
It’s been an unreal journey so far and I’ve only just started! Already recommended them to a friend as well 🤩
I did read about that, her energy is so unmatched and clearly loves what she does, which is amazing ✨
Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish! Symphonic metal at its best. They are from Finland. Floor from the Netherlands. They have been around since 1996 with two previous lead singers. They just yesterday completed their tenth studio album, yet to be released. There is much to discover with this band, including amazing performances from Wembley in 2015. Enjoy the journey. It’s one worth taking!
so witchita falls? Amarillo?
@@richardmead5969 DFW suburbs
Floor is an Angel..............
Wait until you hear Marko sing.
😮😮😮😮😮 now I’m excited!
Hi JuliettJess, I found Nightwish during lockdown completely by chance. I became quickly addicted, and in December of 2022 I was lucky enough to see them at Wembley Arena. I'm almost sure you know where that is :). It was a fantastic experience, and I hope they go on the road again, I'll be seeing them again for sure if and when they do. I really enjoyed the reaction, thanks! It's a deep rabbit hole, one i've really enjoyed taking, and I hope you choose to do the same. Gabriel will have given you some links. Don't feel you have to do the songs in any order, but he'll have the best quality link for whatever song you fancy listening to! Kind regards from a fellow UK bod.
Aw thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it ❤️
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!! Nightwish Army, Havertown, Pennsylvania division reporting in!
I wasn’t readyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! 😂😂
like a said million times before --- this song shows 10000% brilliant songwriting !! i heard this so many times and it got me eyery time and i feels like i heard it the first time !!!
Nightwish is amazing BAND with awesome singer.
I have lost count on the number of times I've listened to this. It is just epic, and the arrangement is brilliant!!
Wohoo! 🤘😎
Cheers from Germany
HELLLLOOOOOO!
Funnily enough, it was this very video of this song that prompted me to put seeing the band on my bucket list. I'm definitely not the biggest Nightwish fan and have only a passing familiarity with some of their songs but I just had to see them doing this song live. And I wasn't disappointed when I seen them in Dublin in November 2022. Even though I didn't recognise most of their songs that night, I had a really fantastic experience, their stage show was something else. I'd highly recommend anyone to experience them live even if they're not the biggest fan.
Hello from Greece and welcome to the Nightwish journey.For me the greatest band ever. Great reaction. Thanks for your choice.
It brings me to tears every time I see someone experience Nightwish for the first time. Literally every single time. Beautiful reaction. Thank you 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
❤️❤️
Welcome onboard the Nightwish train so happy to see you here.
Nightwish army, Washington state here. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and what we call those goosebumps, a Floorgasm
She’s the Valkyrie Queen! A Goddess!🤘🎸
Great reaction JJ..we have all been there with Nightwish discovery…I’m 72 and just discovered them a year ago and they are top of my bucket list to go from Canada to see them hopefully live in Finland when they decide to tour again 🤞🤞
I am excited for you just beginning this epic journey 👍
Bring some carrots. You’re on your way down the Nightwish rabbit hole and it’s a deep and friggin’ awesome one😉
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
This is called Symphonic Metal !!!
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
And the master of this magic is:
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
We hope, that there is more coming.
NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
The goddess has taken another sweet soul. Things are getting busy in Valhalla. 😍😍
I'd recommend Ever Dream as well as Romanticide (from the same live Wacken 2013 show) as your next stop in your Nightwish journey. Lots of great other songs to check out as well. Happy listening!
New album ist mixed and remastered and ready to be released 😃
Welcome to our Nightwish army! And enjoy the ride of many more awsome songs to discover :)
The ENTIRE show (Wacken 2013) is worth a watch. Every song is just flawless and its so fun to watch. I think it's about 2 hours. Jealous of everyone that got to attend that.
Yeah...my goosebumps get goosebumps every time I hear this....She is the best singer in the world at this time....
not only that but goosebumps too. Floor is special and then some.
Nightwish Army Northern California reporting in. This band does everything live beyond that, which is put on a recording. Recommendations:
Off this live show, "Romanticide," all metal it's a real treat to watch their whole set. Floor, the singer, had only been in the band for a few months, and this was her coming out party.
Then I recommend another epic, " the greatest show on earth," and finally recommend a song cover that Floor did during covid from her home "oblivion"
The Valerie goddess is, in my humble opinion, the greatest singer of our generation.
There is only one and she is... FLOOR!!!!!!
