Nightwish Army, Chicago division here. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish and to the Army. Hope your trip though the rabbit hole is a great one.
Dude I'm 43 years old from Greece. Before Nightwish my favourite band are Iron Maiden, Metallica,Savatage etc. I just start to listen nightwish at the end of 2023.i can tell you that. Is my favourite band. I love all of them. Their song makes me feel sooooo good!!!!keep going man. Great reaction dude. Thanks.
Hello MarbenTheSaffa ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This song is from Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, 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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen 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 (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 " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with links with the current lineup of the band you may like.

I'm very excited!! Thanks again man, much appreciated!!
Wow there is quite a list!! So much to catch up on. LOVE it!!!😁 Thanks for sharing this man. I can definitely feel the love for this band and its amazing!
@@marbenthesaffa Thanks for your positive response! Nightwish has literally created and performed an ocean of music over the past 25 years. I hope my message is useful to you, such as a map and a compass :) to establish your own route of discovery in this ocean. You will understand in time the specifics of each of the band's eras, and I hope that you will appreciate with us the diversity of the musical genres approached by them. All the best, from Romania!
Hello MarbenTheSaffa!!! Welcome To The World Of Nightwish, The Greatest Symphonic Metal Band On Earth! The Nightwish Army Welcomes You! That "Tingling Feeling Your Feeling You Get When You Hear This Singer Is Called A Floorgasem Because Her Name Is Floor Jansen (Pronounced Like Yansen)! Enjoy Your New Journey Down The Rabbit Hole We Lovingly Call Nightwish! There Is SO MUCH MORE To Come!!!!!
Hi Dennis. Thank you very much for welcoming me into the NW army, I feel honored! I believe I have had a few 'floorgasms' now. Thank you very much for the comment. I will most certainly be e enjoying my journey down the rabbit hole that is NW! :)
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! 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. 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 with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. 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 as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. 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. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people. And we know , that there is more coming. 🤘😎🤘.
Nightwish Army South Germany Division here Hello Marben...Welcome to the wonderful world of Symphonic Metal and another welcome as a new recruit to the worldwide Nightwish Army. Our boss, Commander-in-Chief and General of the Nightwish Army Gabriel Bardac has already told you the most important things. It only remains for me to say a warm welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and at the same time welcome as a new recruit to the ranks of the Nightwish Army. You've just seen and heard her, who is named by her fans worldwide in the sum of her honorifics in dozens of React videos: This is Our Majesty Floor Jansen, First of her Name, Goddess of the Valkyrs, Highly Queen of the Vikings, Lady of Nightwish, the House Band of the Gods of Asgard, Protector of our Metal Realm Long may she reign There is nothing more to say about this Greetings from Germany the lady
Hi there Lady Dalida! Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I truly appreciate it :D. Gabriel has indeed given me the whole run down which was amazing! I feel part of the NW family already :D Floor is an amazing vocalist, the whole band is amazing! I'm so excited for the journey through the world that is Nightwish! :D Thank you for watching and commenting! It means the world! Stay safe and love from South Africa :)
Welcome to the Nightwish Army a pleasure to have you in the ranks, I was at Wacken 2013 it was one of the most magical moments in my life. The vibe was electric. Awesome reaction, loved it, I've liked, shared, subscribed & even slapped that bell to let me know when you next react. Here for theepic journey you are about to encounter should you choose to continue 🤘😎🤘
Hi, thank you very much!! Ahh im so jealous, I wouldn't loved to be at that gig. Can only imagine how amazing that must've been! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! I will most certainly be continuing my journey😁✌️🤘🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Marben, Nightwish Army, UK division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.
Hi Graham. Thank you so much for welcoming me. The love I have received so far is overwhelming. It just shows me the type loyal fans Nightwish have and its heartwarming to say the least! :D Thank you sir, I will indeed enjoy this ride :D
I had not heard of Floor or Nightwish until around 6 months ago until a work colleague mentioned them to me more than once so I decided to see what all the fuss is about and OMG. I've not been the same since. I'd never taken any notice of symphonic metal until now. I have been a lifelong 45 year appreciator of the Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O.) led by the genius Jeff Lynne who I regard with Toumas as two of the best song writing composers ever. Ghost Love Score live was the first Nightwish composition that I listened to, instant goosebumps and I was gobsmacked, still am, each and every time I watch and listen. Floor is phenomenal, they all are. I'm buried deep in the Nightwish rabbit hole hoovering up everything from the Tarja and Annette eras (they were great) and now Floor who has lifted Nightwish to a level far beyond. A wonderful reaction Sir. Thank you 👍🙏😊
Hi Paul! I can completely relate!! The first time I heard them I instantly fell in love with the band and now it's become a journey that I cannot get enough of! 💪🤘 Thank you very much! 🙏🤘
Hi Richard! Thank you very much for the warm welcome! I'm so impressed by the loyal Nightwish fans, it's amazing and really makes me want to be a part of that. So thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it! Excited for this journey that is Nightwish😁🤘
Hi Marben, Nightwish Army here, German Division.Greets from Hamburg. Yeah this is one of a fantastic Live Bands I ever heared. The singer , Floor Jansen ist really the best singers of the World i Think.And all the felling and Goosepumps you become have by this band a Name : you have a Floorgasm become ^^. ok, hope we can see more of this beautiful band and your reaction. You made my Day
I must say, she is definitely one of the best, if not THE best female vocalist on the planet! Absolutely amazing!! I believe I will have many more floorgasms through my journey! 💪 Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Hope to see you at the next one🙏😁🤘
It really doesn't leave you at all!! I've listened to this track and all the others I've reacted to and a few that I won't do reactions for and they're are all amazing! She is one special woman! 🤘🙏🙏🙏
Great reaction. Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Hey Sean. Thank you very much for the comment and that bit of information! She is indeed a phenomenal vocalist and its clear she has put in then hard yards to get where she is. Such an inspiration! :D Thanks for watching and thank you for welcoming me into the rabbit hole that is Nightwish! :D
Floor Jansen was part of a music show in Germany called "Sing my song" this year. I was flashed by her voice and person behind. Since I started listening to Nightwish, the Band she joined 5 Month before this legendary Wacken concert in 2013. Then I discovered Ghost Love Score and I cannot unhear this. Meanwhile I heard this song maybe 300 times or more. There is no one single listening without goosebumps or chills. Having said that I really enjoyed your react video. I've seen many many of them but your reaction reminded me to myself hearing the song for the first time. I'll never forget this WTF moment!!! Thanks mate!
Hey. Thank you so much for the comment. I've listened to this master piece so many times after this reaction. It triggered a rabbit hole of exploring NW and have loved every second of it!! Thank you very much!! 🙏🙏💪
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
She has most certainly gathered my soul :D Absolutely beautiful voice! Thank you for watching and than you for the comment, it is much appreciated!! :D
Welcome to the best of the best our VALKYRIE GODDESS FLOOR JANSEN Dude nice first step , trust me this band gonna blow your mine Cheers from NIGHTWISH ARMY COSTA RICA DIVISION 🤘💀🇨🇷 (UP THE IRONS ) 🤘
I think I like Nightwish Ghost Love Score reactions because it reminds me of the first time I saw this epic masterpiece. I mean, I still love it now, but the first watching was a revelation!
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: What you should do: Listen to Gabriel. He knows. Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-) It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing…. Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Thanks Markus! Yes indeed, I will most certainly listen to Gabriel. He's list and information was incredibly helpful on navigating the waters that is NW🙏 She definitely captured another soul🤘🤘💪 Thanks for watching and hope to see you at the next one💪🤘🙏😁

It was fun watching you have your first Floorgasm. Please follow the list that Gabriel left you and you will find a wealth of information and great performances. I look forward to seeing more Nightwish reactions. Enjoy the wonderful journey you have begun.
Hi Steve! Thank you so much and thank you for the warm welcome into the world that is Nightwish! It's been am incredible journey and I'm only on Episode 3😁 So much more to come! Thanks again, and thank yoh for watching and taking the time to comment! I really appreciate it🤘🙏
I have indeed and I cant tell you how happy I am I did. She is amazing!! Thank you so much for the comment and for watching! :D I will most certainly follow his list :D Hope to see you at the next one!
Right.....you wokeup the Nightwish army so get ready for a fantastic NIGHTWISH experiance , band from Finland , singer from the Netherlands and a guy who can play lots of instruments from GB .
Thank you very much! I'm super excited for this journey! So far, after 2 tracks I'm a fan so it can only get better going forward. Amazing band all and all🤘🙏💪
as a Nightwish fan of over 18 years (oof), it's ALWAYS satisfying when someone new to the band experiences what we (the existing fans) do. Especially as a metalhead, I got a lot of flack for being into this kind of thing, got told it wasn't "real" metal, that it was just girly bullshit, etc etc. This is why these reactions are such a huge deal on youtube, we Nightwish fans can't help ourselves. We love seeing someone discover and enjoy them.
That's been the thing my whole life as a metal head!! But now I don't care what others say.. and I'm so glad to have discovered them now! They're amazing! Floor is amazing! Loving every second of it!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🙏💪
@@marbenthesaffa I don't exactly "care what others say", but it really sucked to not be taken seriously by other fans of the genre for liking things that weren't always the heaviest, hardest, etc. I just wanted people to enjoy all kinds of metal with! But youtube has given me the chance to do that =)
Floor gave me goosebumps too when I heard Ghost Love Score for the first time. Don’t worry 💪🏻. That’s why they call her the Valkyrie Queen of Nightwish 🤟🏻🙌🏻🔥👏🏻🎇
She is amazing to say the very least! just WOW! I can definitely see why she has been named the Valkyrie Queen of Nightwish :D Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment :D
As we can soon safely say... This particular performance is a corner stone of Nightwish to all the "newcomers" discovering their awesomeness. Cool reaction män. Keep on rockin with this magical band. Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮 🥶 💯 💙, the Mother Land of Nightwish 🤟😎
Thank you so much for the comment! I believe it is and its a good stepping stone into the work of NW because its a beautiful and powerful song! It makes you want more :D Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I will definitely keep rocking with this magical band, no doubt :D
@@marbenthesaffa We'll eagerly wanna see you're about to react more of this freakin band, wheter it's a live performance from Wacken Open Air 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley 2015 or Buenos Aires next... Keep it cooly mään
Thanks for the recommendation! Much appreciated. I will be sure to check that out, might even be my next reaction. Thanks for the comment and watching, much appreciated 🤘
@@marbenthesaffa Definitely make sure it's the Wacken 2013 version because that's the only version with Floor and she nails it. It definitely suits her.
I've been told the live versions are much better than the studio versions so for now I will stick to those! The fans do indeed add a certain flare to the live shows :D Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment :D
And this is why Nightwish have rocketed up the number of overall views. Floor Jansen has taken them to a new level since she joined in late 2012 mid tour. Prior to that she was singer with After Forever from 1997-2009 and joined when 16yo. All 15 songs at this concert were written for previous two singers so any studio versions won't be her. This song written for first very operatic singer and you won't get the colours or variety or the ending in the recording that Floor brings to this live version.
I can now see exactly why this band gets the views! Floor's voice blew my mind, her range is spectacular! Truly and amazing vocalist and the band is just as great! I've been told not to bother too much with the studio version but will probably give it a listen just out if curiosity. Thanks for the comment Clive, I'm excited for this Nightwish journey🤘🙏
Growing up in the 60s and 70s my main music has always been classic rock even up to the last few years. I would have never listened to this type of music but as you said as we get older our music evolves and this has become one of my favorite songs. Weather I like a song or not I learned to appreciate the talent involved. Now I go from one end of the spectrum to the other. From Home Free to Leo Moracchioli I can find great music.
Just a note: the studio version of this song has a different singer (the original vocalist Tarja Turunen). Third and current singer Floor Jansen is featured in this video. All three singers the band have had are great, but are quite different from one another.
Thanks for the comment and information, much appreciated! I will be listening to all of it through my Nightwish journey and very excited to see the difference in vocals etc. Thank you🤘💪
@@marbenthesaffa hmm Anette not so great,especially not Live, every song on the set list from this standard setting seminal Wacken event was not written for Floor who had only 10 months in with the band at that point,but she made all of them hers hands down ! the best versions ever ,I have listened to NW & Floor with her 1st band After Forever for about 20yrs,as Tuomas the genius behind the band has said :" She ( Floor) is what we had been missing" ,FYI NW is ALWAYS best Live ! hey Marben ! great reaction ! and Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you.

Floor was in metal bands before this Revamp and After Forever with heavier metal than Nightwish where she sings with deep growls. One of these bands was her own so she could do everything she wanted. When on her sisters wedding Nightwish called her, she said can it wait till tomorrow I am at a wedding. Then while at the wedding they send her a text following up the phonecall it said can you fill in for our lead singer. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours, there is a documentary about it on UA-cam. The Nightwish songs are much longer than popsongs so its pretty impressive to learn them so quickly. I believe she had a few cards with lyrics all over the stage to help her and the band helped her to start singing at the right time. I believe the fans started to chant Floors name after her first performance with Nightwish. Floor was famous all over the world except in her own country until she sang The Phantom of The Opera in the Dutch tv show Beste Zangers which is on UA-cam. She sang many songs on Beste Zangers including opera and Lady Gaga. This made her famous in her own country the Netherlands which landed her a solo career next to Nightwish in her own country. The German version of Dutch tv show Beste Zangers noticed Floor and ask her to come on the show where she sang in German. Floor can sing in 6 languages as if she is a native from that country. She studied at the Rock Academy while playing in a famous metal band. After The Rock academy the studied musical theater and after that she studied opera singing. One of the most asked questions she gets asked by fans has nothing to do with singing or Nightwish, fans ask her over and over how tall she is. Floor is Dutch and Dutch people are the tallest people in the world. She is tall but next to me or my friend who is 2 meters she would still look small, but next to women in other countries she is a giant and has muscles too. She remind me of a tall Amazonian woman and with her black outfits on stage she looks like Xena The Warrior Princess. Check out her former bands Revamp and After Forever for some heavier stuff than Nightwish. Hearing Floor growl like a man in these bands is something els
Thank you for all this information Chris, I really appreciate it!! 🙏 I really do want to hear some of Floors growls so I'm very keen to give her older stuff a listen! Thanks a mill bud🤘💪🙏😁
@@marbenthesaffa It is all good ! One song with her old band which is heavier with growls which is recommended a lot is Disdain at parkpop. She even says it to the audience are you guys ready for something heavier. Even if you are not into opera you should watch her sing Phantom of The Opera with Henk Poort to see the highest notes she can sing. We have another famous Dutch singer who has a very good voice and songs as well. Just search for Anouk egg incident. They threw an egg at her at a music festival with 50.000 people because they didnt feel her music was a fit for the festival. She took of her t-shirt and proceeded to sing in her red bra, no fucks given, I didnt mind at all because she is pretty hot lol. Anouk is a real badass she even got into an argument with a record producer from a big record label in the US, who wanted to her to behave and sing a certain way. No one tells Anouk what to do so she pushed him in a heated argument blowing her career in the US. P.s. Floor doesnt think her growling is that good, but her fans disagree. You cannot compare yourself as a woman growling like Jinjer.
@@2012inca haha funny you should mention Phantom of the Opera.. I just finished the reaction, busy with the edit and will be out tomorrow.. if there aren't any copyright claims🤞 But I LOVE it!! My favorite musical so had to do that track next! Thanks again for the info man💪🤘🙏
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden is quite the fan of Nightwish, and he said their composer Tuomas on keyboards is a F**king Genius. Great reaction, and Nightwish can go hard or soft, either way it will be good, take it from an old metal head.
Steve Harris is one of me heros! And if that is what he says about Tuomas then I 110% believe him💪🤘 I've only heard the one song so I'm super super amped to dive into this rabbit hole and really get to know NW. Thanks for the comment and that fact man, really interesting and good to know🤘💪
Midwest Division. Great Lakes Battalion of the Nightwish Army checking in from Straits of Mackinac / Mackinac Island, Lake Huron, USA. I hope you enjoyed your entrance to this musical rabbit hole of the band Nightwish... Welcome! Just follow Sir Gabriel's path he's laid out for you, in any order. I'd like to join you on your journey as you become part of Nightwish's story, if that's alright with you!
Thanks for watching and the comment! I have LOVED my entrance to the world that is Nightwish! Thanks for the welcome :) I would be honored if you joined for my NW journey!!
I have only seen two people give this performance a thumbs down. My wife, who hates non-dance music, and a classical music reviewer who did not understand it at all. This person even criticized Floor Jansen for having to use “mic techniques”.
Nightwish Army Pennsylvania Division and new sub checking in! It is always fun watching someone having their first Floorgasms! Welcome to the wonderful world Of Nightwish and our Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen. P.S. Nightwish is a band best enjoyed live.
Thank you for the sub and the comment!🙏 I have been told they are best live and so far I can certainly see why😁 Thank you for welcoming me and hope to see you the next episode of my NW journey🙏🤘
It’s hard to believe, but live Nightwish is better than studio. There are a few music videos & mostly lyric videos for the newest album Human Nature. You should check out Dark Chest of Wonders from the same Wacken 2013 show. It was the show opener. Floor has only been with the band a very short time at this point. It’s the first time many of the 82k in attendance saw her as the lead singer in Nightwish. Hell of a debut. Dark Chest sets the stage for the magic to come. 🤘🔥
Thank you for the recommendation! Much appreciated! I have so much to catch up on it's crazy and very exciting. I'm ready for the rabbit hole that is Nightwish😁💪🤘
Nightwish is best served LIVE. To hear a studio version of this song, you would have to go back to the first singer, Tarja. Floor was a fill in replacement in late 2012 during the US World Tour, when their 2nd singer, Anette, fell ill, mid tour. The first studio album with Floor Jansen was in 2014. Enjoy this band, all versions, all singers, all eras. Well worth the effort!
Hey nice reaction. I agree about musical taste changing as you get older. As I’m over 50 now the male dominated Guns n Roses, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden etc are making way for the lighter pure tonnes from the female singers in Nightwish, Epica, Larkin Poe, Samantha Fish.
Thanks alot Andrew, much appreciated! Yeah definitely, the taste almost evolves as we grow wiser! So I've noticed and it's amazing bacause now there are all these bands that I can discover and go down these awesome rabbit holes🙏🤘🤘🤘
Goosebumps? Every time. :) Welcome aboard . (Welcome back?) :) @5:47 "Wow" ? Yeah, gorgeous , visually, eh? Along with the music , the stage presence is nails, along with the video capture by Ville Lapiainen & crew.
Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA, USA welcomes you to the beginning of an epic journey discovering the magic of Nightwish! Please see below a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances, ready for more reactions! And there are plenty of heavier songs! Oh, BTW, the cool thing with the old pipe organ pipes is actually a custom made wine rack adapted into a keyboard stand.
Hi Amy. Thank you very much for the extremely warm welcome to the Nightwish family. It's been overwhelming and I can definitely feel the love the fans have for this band..which makes me even more excited to go down this journey. Gabriel sent me all the information, very kind of him! So many many more reactions to come. I'm very excited!😁 Ahh thank youuuuu!!! I was waiting for someone to let me know what that was. Now I finally know😁💪 Thanks you💪🤘
Gabriel is not the only person a reactor should look to ,he's just one person who does not represent this massive fan base ,thus everyones input is equally valid.
@@nicod1361 If I were a reactor, I'd read all the comments and yes, be open to everyone's input! I cite Gabriel bc he gives a list of links, so its easier to choose whatever song they'd like to hear next. If you were providing a list of useful links, I'd say hey check out @nico... I think it's obvious that I didn't intend to slight or dismiss anyone else's comments. Sorry if you personally were offended tho. What's your channel? I'll go support you...
@@amygoodson-catlady Amy it's not that I was offended, I just think the many people who keep telling reactors things like : " just follow Gabriels list" etc tends to make many reactors think that they should only look to that list for songs etc thereby basically ignoring all else, btw my list below I have posted for many yrs now ,funny how very few have seen it ? cheers Hey ______ ! great reaction ! and Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you.

I can relate, as the same thing happened to me. I'm not a fan of opera, and that was the original singer's lane. Years later I heard they had replaced her (twice) and gave them another chance ... finding my favorite band of all time, my favorite singer and my favorite composer. It was just a matter of taste, not quality ... all three singers are incredible talents, I just don't like how affected the opera style sounds to me - stuffy! Glad you found them. You will discover that the genius of Tumoas, with his compositions, will deliver brilliance with each song and something different. Enjoy your journey, it's been the best one I've ever taken.
The Nightwish army arrived XD I've been a fan of Nightwish since 2004 and I still get kak from 🇿🇦 metalheads for it (last night I had a reminder of that at a gig). I fell off from them with their 2nd vocalist but a friend showed me this recording in 2014 and Floor is an amazing fit. The last 2 albums are recorded with Floor at the mic.
Yep, you are spot on here - this is all about telling the stories, the most effecient way possible. Tuomas (keyboard) writes the stories and composes the raw music, before they all gets together and by using their joint forces - they enhances the stories to incredible experiences. And Floor is by far the greatest storyteller in the galaxy. She is the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented singer in the world in this century - not kidding!! You have barely scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities here - and please do stick to the live performances, if possible - Nightwish and Floor are feeding from the audience. No autotune, no pitch correction - just skills and power beyond belief. Wacken 2013 Wembley 2015 Tampere 2015 Buenos Aires 2018 Are the concerts to go for - in that order, to experience the Nightwish evolution. And their newest album is a masterpiece, but still officially only available as studio - so here you will experience their studio abilities. By the way - Floor replaced Anette Olzon late in 2012, in the middle of a world tour, so this performance from August 2013, she had only been with Nightwish for 10 month, singing old songs not written to her incredible voice techniques - but she certainly made her own versions!! No copying here at all. But from 2015, the new songs were written to her - and at the same time, Tuomas's focus in his stories changed. And furthermore he realized that he had no more limitations in his writing - Floor could do literally anything - just far better!! A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 🤘
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! The response has been overwhelming and so full of love from all the NW fans. Absolutely love it and excites me so much to go down this journey!🙏 Thanks your for all that information, it really helps me navigate the deep waters that is NW and give me a good starting point. I'm excited for this journey and a long one it will be! Floor really has opened my eyes. Wow! She is unbelievably talented!! 🤘💪 Thanks for the comment and welcoming me. I really appreciate it!🙏
I had to watch this again mainly because of your Maiden shirt. They were the first band I saw live in 81 with the original singer-Paul Dianno and a French band called Trust supported with Nico Mc Brain on drums. One of my school teachers started a rock club at school against the headmaster and organised the trip to the concert
Thanks bro🤘🤘 Got that back in 2006..I think.. at their gig in London🙏🤘 If I had to choose 1 favorite band it would be Maiden. You can see the wall behind me.. Maiden. The cap I wear.. Maiden🤣
Greetings from a fellow Saffa! Came across your reaction this morning. I discovered Nightwish back in 2005, heard their song Nemo on the soundtrack from the movie 'The Cave', and they have been my favorite band ever since! Their popularity have grown immensely over the past few years, and hopefully here too so that they might consider visiting SA in the near future. I would be the first in line to buy tickets. Loved your reaction, see you did another 2, so gonna check those out now. New subscriber!
Hi Human! Lekker om nog n Saffa hier te sien! Thanks for the sub bud and for dropping a comment! I have fallen in love with this band and I'm only 3 songs in🤣🤘 Thanks again bud, hope to see you at the next one🤘🤘🤘💪
Since you're into deathcore, check out another Nightwish song, "Yours is an Empty Hope" from Wembley 2015: ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html Pay close attention to the chorus and assume nothing. Follow your ears.
Thanks for the recommendation Bill, much appreciated! I'll mostly certainly be checking that out. I've had a taste of Nightwish and now I need more💪🤘 I'll be keeping an ear open for that!!
@@marbenthesaffa Just tell him Floor is doing all the growls, so disappointing to see so many reactors thinking its bass player Marko doing the growls.He is the clean voice in this song.
I really wish people would stop suggesting the Wembley version out of habit, the Mexico City version is better in every possible way besides the effects and lightshow.
@@Hexley_Vexley "Out of habit?" think that's a bit dismissive of others opinions. Perhaps people suggesing wembley have heard several versions and happen to like it best. You stating that another show is "better in every possible way" doesn't make it fact. In any event if someone becomes a fan they'll listen to multiple versions eventually.
An honest and great reaction as always. I hope you'll continue the Nightwish journey. it would be exciting! I was the same with you at first. I've listened Nightwish once with the previous vocalist Tarja back in days when I was a teen metalhead. I appreciated them but never listened again, because I thought symphonic metal wasn't my cup of tea. Then after many years, when I was mid-thirties I've discovered this performance and Floor and addicted to their songs quickly. Especially the live versions. Almost every song feels like a new journey.
Thanks Ozy. Always appreciate your comments. I will certainly be going on a Nightwish journey. Might take some time to get through all of it but I shall prevail :) Ahh so you know EXACTLY what I meant with this. Its strangely amazing how our music taste can change and adapt over time. There is a whole new world of Metal for me to discover and Im excited. Thanks again Ozy, much appreciated!!
One very good reason for GLS, especially Wacken 2013, Floor, being the most reacted to is that this is probably the definitive rendition of one of the most beautiful songs ever written. If that is not a good reason nothing is. My own reaction to this particular video, never having heard of Nightwish before, was instant adoration of Floor and instant conscription to the Nightwish Army.
I 100% agree with you! This song is a masterpiece and a true show of what they are capable of. It's a great way to start the journey that is Nightwish! The nightwish army is the most loving and accepting fans in the world, no doubt! 🙏 Thanks for watching and thank yoh for the comment! 🤘 I hope to see you at the next one😁💪
Hi! I'm so glad your friend suggested my videos🙏 That's amazing! And I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I have absolutely fallen in love with Nightwish, one of my top bands at the moment! Thanks for watching🙏🙏🙏🤘
Sub'd for the Nightwish journey - and I also would never have thought I would like this, being into stuff like Motorhead, Priest, Anthrax, Pantera, Saxon, Megadeth - stuff like that, now Nightwish are one of my absolute favourite bands. Take the journey dude, you won't regret it 🤘
Thanks Jim, I appreciate it! Episode 2 of my NW journey will be out at 6pm (GMT+2) today! I couldn't wait.. I had to do my next reaction because I'm so excited about this band and starting to really LOVE them🤘 It's going to be quite the journey and I hope you enjoy it with me. Thanks for the comment Jim, much appreciated🤘🙏
If you continue this Nightwish journey, forget about the studio recordings. They are great, but Nightwish is at the top of their game when they are performing live. So please ALWAYS react to the live recordings. It's an experience, you can count on it.
Floor has just released her first solo song "Fire". She sang different types of music in Beste Zangers. Look for her Amsterdam Concert on youtube. The front person can make or break a band. Floor is a generational talent. She is insanely good.
I would argue that with Anette -- and I hate to say it but also with Tarja -- he might be better off with the studio recordings. Floor is best live... Like Nemo live with Tarja? Just go to the studio version, it's horrifyingly bad. Whilst I've always loved Tarja's haunting tone, she has the rhythm of an epileptic live, constantly going off the rails, missing entrances, and at times outright ignoring not just the rest of the band, but also the backing tracks. You don't get to improv like it's dinner theatre when you've got a pre-recorded backing track. I think it's a testament to the skill of the A&R guys that Tarja is actually on-beat in the studio. Admittedly it was far far worse on the "End of an era" tour where you could just tell the band was falling apart. Toumas in particular wincing and visibly thinking "where the hell is she going?1?" every time she ended up half a measure or more off. And there are a few ultra-rare cases where the album was better than Floor. See the studio version of Amaranth vs. the live performance from this same show for example. Floors performance is by no means horrible, but it doesn't feel as well polished as the rest of the show. Admittedly, given Floor had been with the band for what? Six months or so by the time of Wacken 2013? Makes even her less refined performances at said show all the more impressive. (and despite fanboy claims to the contrary, there were big flubs) In that way, I think long-time fans shoveled a bit too much manure Ms. Olzon's way. So many iconic songs from her tenure as lead singer. Amaranth, Storytime, Ghost River, Song of Myself... That said I'll take any of Floor's performances of Storytime over Anette's any day of the week. Night and Day.
So you have just experienced your first Floorgasms (chills from Floor singing)! Congrats! I believe there will be many more to come :D If you want something heavier and faster paced, i suggest you take listen of Romanticide, from the Gabriel's list. And they really don't have 2 songs that sounds same, so you will have lots of moments to discover something new again and again. Welcome to the world of Nightwish! Greetings from Finland! 🤘🎶 🖤 🎸🇫🇮
I have indeed! Thank you for the warm welcome. I can see the Nightwish fans are amazing and extremely accepting of new fans. Love the energy!! Thank you for the recommendations. I will certainly ne checking that out. I'm excited for the journey that is Nightwish😁💪
Great reaction! Thanks! On your journey, I believe this is your first time meeting Troy. He's an amazing musician. That was him (not Emppu) playing electric guitar in the opening, with a gadget called an e-bow. He's mimicking a wonderful cello part that is played on the album and in other live versions and I love how they mix things up. His sections on the pipes followed. You'll run into him again, I'm sure!
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division enjoying your reaction , This is there 3rd and current singer Floor Jansen the Valkyrie Queen of Metal . on this night they were the headliner in front of 82,000 people . our General Gabriel Bardac left you band info & links to help lead you navigate the Nightwish experience . NOTE : Floor had only been with Nightwish for 10 months at this show so all the songs she's singing are songs from the 1st two singers but Floor makes everything her own so all studio recordings are not Floor
Thank you for the comment! All these comments are so heart warming and shows the level of love people have for this band.. which excited me even more going down this journey😁 Thanks for the information💪🤘 Gabriel did indeed give me the whole breakdown which is so great because it gives me a good starting point. I have only seen the tiny tip of the massive iceberg that is Nightwish😁
@@marbenthesaffa People are so in love with this band for so many reasons... but I personally can say that this band lifted me from mediocre severe depression and later on heard the same from so many others...
I love the original version with Tarja, but she has a much more operatic sound that is not everyone's cup of tea. Floor is incredible and this live performance is unreal.
Hello MarbenTheSaffa . 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.
Hi Frenk! Thank you for welcoming me into the wonderful world that is Nightwish😁 Thank you for the information, everyone has been so great with their comments. It shows me the true love fans have for this band and that makes me even more excited to go down this rabbit hole😁 Gabriel has already given me the full rundown, thank you🤘 Love the energy here!!!
Great reaction and glad you enjoyed it. The studio version of this song will be with Nightwish's first lead singer Tarja. And Nightwish is best enjoyed life. Wait for Gabriel, he will have backgrounds and a list of songs you can explore.
Thanks Martin. Yeah I really enjoyed that! Dont know where ive been! haha! Ohhh that i didnt know, didnt know she wasnt the original vocalist either. Interesting! Thanks for watching and the comment dude
Dude I enjoyed watching you have your first Floorgasm!!! This was written like a classical music SCORE. Different parts at different tempo's. Hello from Chicago division of the Nightwish Army.
Thank you such, that first one is always the best one hey but I think every track of their will bring forward a Floorgasm.. I have no doubt of that! 💪🤘 Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment, much appreciated🤘💪🙏

Hello MarbenTheSaffa ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This song is from Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, 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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen 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 (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 "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with links with the current lineup of the band you may like. Please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory:

@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or videos from this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019, TV show from Netherlands, here is a playlist made by Floor herself ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo.html
In the spring of 2021, Floor also did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival ua-cam.com/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/v-deo.html
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us from her home studio, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 9 covers there, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlinbJW0aJc2iVy5tYEhC5KL9.html
Following the success of Beste Zangers show, Floor performed a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020 with songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers) following that the last and the largest concert, at AFAS Amsterdam, to be professionally recorded and broadcast online, with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. After several rescheduling, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the concert took place at the beginning of September 2021 in 3 consecutive days. So far the first 14 songs from the concert plus the backstage documentary have been posted online, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlilDPohfKzmFC_wdTOllD3jh.html
On March 25th Floor Jansen released her first solo song, "Fire" ua-cam.com/video/Utz4gFG3HF8/v-deo.html

Hello Gabriel. Thank you so much for welcoming me to the beautiful world that is Nightwish! That really was incredible. WOW!
Thank you so much for sharing all this information about the band and history.. as well as all the recommendations. I guess I can take my pick of the litter and just get going. So many to choose from.
I would actually like to do reactions to all of them, which will take a loooong time because I'm reacting to many other bands too so this will be an awesome journey! I'm very excited!!
Thanks again man, much appreciated!!
Wow there is quite a list!! So much to catch up on. LOVE it!!!😁
Thanks for sharing this man. I can definitely feel the love for this band and its amazing!
@@marbenthesaffa Thanks for your positive response! Nightwish has literally created and performed an ocean of music over the past 25 years. I hope my message is useful to you, such as a map and a compass :) to establish your own route of discovery in this ocean. You will understand in time the specifics of each of the band's eras, and I hope that you will appreciate with us the diversity of the musical genres approached by them.
All the best, from Romania!
Welcome to Nightwish heaven my friend 🤘
Thank you very much!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏

That they did indeed😁🤘💪🙏
Hello MarbenTheSaffa!!! Welcome To The World Of Nightwish, The Greatest Symphonic Metal Band On Earth! The Nightwish Army Welcomes You! That "Tingling Feeling Your Feeling You Get When You Hear This Singer Is Called A Floorgasem Because Her Name Is Floor Jansen (Pronounced Like Yansen)! Enjoy Your New Journey Down The Rabbit Hole We Lovingly Call Nightwish! There Is SO MUCH MORE To Come!!!!!
Hi Dennis. Thank you very much for welcoming me into the NW army, I feel honored! I believe I have had a few 'floorgasms' now. Thank you very much for the comment. I will most certainly be e enjoying my journey down the rabbit hole that is NW! :)
Be aware that this is not a typical Nightwish song. Every song is different and each one an adventure.
I've been listening to rock music for over 65 years and this is the best band I've ever heard.
Thanks for the comment! 🤘 So I've heard. That's what excites me about this band so much is the diversity in their music
I can definitely see why!. They're amazing!🤘💪
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
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.
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 with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. 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 as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. 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.
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people.
And we know , that there is more coming.
🤘😎🤘.
Hey Timo. Thanks for all the info, much appreciated!! 🙏🙏
There is definitely alot more coming😁😁🤘🙏
😂There was probably none of us who was not happy that night.That's when Floor and Nightwish conquered my heart.
🤣 That was my introduction to this amazing band and haven't looked back since. Floor is SPECTACULAR!!!
@@marbenthesaffa She is, and it doesn't matter if she's on stage solo or with Nightwish.She's just WOW!
@@Kelsea-2002 100%! She's is simply amazing no matter what format! 🤘🙏
And the journey begins....
Oh yes sir.. that it does😁🤘
Nightwish Army South Germany Division here
Hello Marben...Welcome to the wonderful world of Symphonic Metal and another welcome as a new recruit to the worldwide Nightwish Army.
Our boss, Commander-in-Chief and General of the Nightwish Army Gabriel Bardac has already told you the most important things. It only remains for me to say a warm welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and at the same time welcome as a new recruit to the ranks of the Nightwish Army.
You've just seen and heard her, who is named by her fans worldwide in the sum of her honorifics in dozens of React videos:
This is Our Majesty Floor Jansen, First of her Name, Goddess of the Valkyrs, Highly Queen of the Vikings, Lady of Nightwish, the House Band of the Gods of Asgard, Protector of our Metal Realm
Long may she reign
There is nothing more to say about this
Greetings from Germany
the lady
Hi there Lady Dalida! Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I truly appreciate it :D. Gabriel has indeed given me the whole run down which was amazing! I feel part of the NW family already :D
Floor is an amazing vocalist, the whole band is amazing! I'm so excited for the journey through the world that is Nightwish! :D
Thank you for watching and commenting! It means the world!
Stay safe and love from South Africa :)
Welcome to the Nightwish Army a pleasure to have you in the ranks, I was at Wacken 2013 it was one of the most magical moments in my life. The vibe was electric. Awesome reaction, loved it, I've liked, shared, subscribed & even slapped that bell to let me know when you next react. Here for theepic journey you are about to encounter should you choose to continue 🤘😎🤘
Hi, thank you very much!! Ahh im so jealous, I wouldn't loved to be at that gig. Can only imagine how amazing that must've been!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! I will most certainly be continuing my journey😁✌️🤘🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Marben, Nightwish Army, UK division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.
Hi Graham. Thank you so much for welcoming me. The love I have received so far is overwhelming. It just shows me the type loyal fans Nightwish have and its heartwarming to say the least! :D
Thank you sir, I will indeed enjoy this ride :D
Thank you👏👏👏🤗!
Thank you💪🤘😁

More coming very soon ;) The excitement for me is real!! cant wait do to the next NW reaction!!
Clicked for nightwish. Subbed at the maiden shirt🤘
Thanks Brandon, much appreciated!🙏🤘
Great band Nightwish...great channel..
I had not heard of Floor or Nightwish until around 6 months ago until a work colleague mentioned them to me more than once so I decided to see what all the fuss is about and OMG. I've not been the same since. I'd never taken any notice of symphonic metal until now. I have been a lifelong 45 year appreciator of the Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O.) led by the genius Jeff Lynne who I regard with Toumas as two of the best song writing composers ever. Ghost Love Score live was the first Nightwish composition that I listened to, instant goosebumps and I was gobsmacked, still am, each and every time I watch and listen. Floor is phenomenal, they all are. I'm buried deep in the Nightwish rabbit hole hoovering up everything from the Tarja and Annette eras (they were great) and now Floor who has lifted Nightwish to a level far beyond. A wonderful reaction Sir. Thank you 👍🙏😊
Hi Paul! I can completely relate!! The first time I heard them I instantly fell in love with the band and now it's become a journey that I cannot get enough of! 💪🤘
Thank you very much! 🙏🤘
Hi from the UK 👋 🇬🇧 division of the Nightwish army welcome to your first floorgasam lol 😆
Hi Richard! Thank you very much for the warm welcome! I'm so impressed by the loyal Nightwish fans, it's amazing and really makes me want to be a part of that. So thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it! Excited for this journey that is Nightwish😁🤘
What Tuomas didn’t mention, but knows.....Nightwish has it’s own Army! Howdy, from Texas division!
So I have noticed and been told!! 😁😁😁🙏🤘🤘🇿🇦
YOU:she has a phenomenal voice
NIGHTWISH ARMY: you have no idea
Hahaha 🤣 I really don't have a clue yet. This rabbit hole is a deep and exciting one!🤘💪
Yep, I was giggling to myself at that point.
YOU: Floorgasms activated
NIGHTWISH ARMY: Yessss, he's one of us now!
Nightwish army Denmark reporting in 🤘

Hi Marben, Nightwish Army here, German Division.Greets from Hamburg. Yeah this is one of a fantastic Live Bands I ever heared. The singer , Floor Jansen ist really the best singers of the World i Think.And all the felling and Goosepumps you become have by this band a Name : you have a Floorgasm become ^^. ok, hope we can see more of this beautiful band and your reaction. You made my Day
I must say, she is definitely one of the best, if not THE best female vocalist on the planet! Absolutely amazing!! I believe I will have many more floorgasms through my journey! 💪
Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Hope to see you at the next one🙏😁🤘
Ahh.. it is always a delight to witness someone's first encounter with the Valkyrie Queen. That experience never quite leaves you, now does it?
It really doesn't leave you at all!! I've listened to this track and all the others I've reacted to and a few that I won't do reactions for and they're are all amazing! She is one special woman! 🤘🙏🙏🙏
@@marbenthesaffa Agreed. Sabaton's drummer is a lucky man.
Great reaction.
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Hey Sean. Thank you very much for the comment and that bit of information! She is indeed a phenomenal vocalist and its clear she has put in then hard yards to get where she is. Such an inspiration! :D
Thanks for watching and thank you for welcoming me into the rabbit hole that is Nightwish! :D
Floor Jansen was part of a music show in Germany called "Sing my song" this year. I was flashed by her voice and person behind. Since I started listening to Nightwish, the Band she joined 5 Month before this legendary Wacken concert in 2013. Then I discovered Ghost Love Score and I cannot unhear this. Meanwhile I heard this song maybe 300 times or more. There is no one single listening without goosebumps or chills. Having said that I really enjoyed your react video. I've seen many many of them but your reaction reminded me to myself hearing the song for the first time. I'll never forget this WTF moment!!! Thanks mate!
Hey. Thank you so much for the comment. I've listened to this master piece so many times after this reaction. It triggered a rabbit hole of exploring NW and have loved every second of it!!
Thank you very much!! 🙏🙏💪

Another Soul Snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess
Oh yess🤘💪 She's amazing!!!
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she
got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!

Nightwish Army UK popping in late to the show for a great reaction.
Thank you Robert, I appreciate it!! 🙏 🤘💪
as a Nightwish fan of over 18 years (oof), it's ALWAYS satisfying when someone new to the band experiences what we (the existing fans) do. Especially as a metalhead, I got a lot of flack for being into this kind of thing, got told it wasn't "real" metal, that it was just girly bullshit, etc etc. This is why these reactions are such a huge deal on youtube, we Nightwish fans can't help ourselves. We love seeing someone discover and enjoy them.
That's been the thing my whole life as a metal head!! But now I don't care what others say.. and I'm so glad to have discovered them now! They're amazing! Floor is amazing! Loving every second of it!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🙏💪
@@marbenthesaffa I don't exactly "care what others say", but it really sucked to not be taken seriously by other fans of the genre for liking things that weren't always the heaviest, hardest, etc. I just wanted people to enjoy all kinds of metal with! But youtube has given me the chance to do that =)
Floor gave me goosebumps too when I heard Ghost Love Score for the first time. Don’t worry 💪🏻. That’s why they call her the Valkyrie Queen of Nightwish 🤟🏻🙌🏻🔥👏🏻🎇
She is amazing to say the very least! just WOW! I can definitely see why she has been named the Valkyrie Queen of Nightwish :D
Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment :D
@@marbenthesaffa welcome to the Nightwish Army my friend & you’re welcome 🙏🏻🤟🏻💪🏻
As we can soon safely say... This particular performance is a corner stone of Nightwish to all the "newcomers" discovering their awesomeness.
Cool reaction män. Keep on rockin with this magical band.
Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮 🥶 💯 💙, the Mother Land of Nightwish 🤟😎
Thank you so much for the comment! I believe it is and its a good stepping stone into the work of NW because its a beautiful and powerful song! It makes you want more :D
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I will definitely keep rocking with this magical band, no doubt :D
@@marbenthesaffa
We'll eagerly wanna see you're about to react more of this freakin band, wheter it's a live performance from Wacken Open Air 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley 2015 or Buenos Aires next...
Keep it cooly mään
This one is all about the vocals the story and the journey. Now check out "Romanticide" for some metal Nightwish. Floor is a big Pantera fan as well.
Thanks for the recommendation! Much appreciated. I will be sure to check that out, might even be my next reaction. Thanks for the comment and watching, much appreciated 🤘
@@marbenthesaffa Definitely make sure it's the Wacken 2013 version because that's the only version with Floor and she nails it. It definitely suits her.
Romanticide !!!! One of my faves 🤘🎸🖤🖤🖤
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked and greetings from Finland! ⛄👍
I prefer the live versions with Floor. The crowds are so electric! Passionate fans that add to the experience. ❤️❤️❤️
I've been told the live versions are much better than the studio versions so for now I will stick to those! The fans do indeed add a certain flare to the live shows :D
Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment :D
And this is why Nightwish have rocketed up the number of overall views. Floor Jansen has taken them to a new level since she joined in late 2012 mid tour. Prior to that she was singer with After Forever from 1997-2009 and joined when 16yo. All 15 songs at this concert were written for previous two singers so any studio versions won't be her. This song written for first very operatic singer and you won't get the colours or variety or the ending in the recording that Floor brings to this live version.
I can now see exactly why this band gets the views! Floor's voice blew my mind, her range is spectacular! Truly and amazing vocalist and the band is just as great!
I've been told not to bother too much with the studio version but will probably give it a listen just out if curiosity.
Thanks for the comment Clive, I'm excited for this Nightwish journey🤘🙏
Growing up in the 60s and 70s my main music has always been classic rock even up to the last few years. I would have never listened to this type of music but as you said as we get older our music evolves and this has become one of my favorite songs. Weather I like a song or not I learned to appreciate the talent involved. Now I go from one end of the spectrum to the other. From Home Free to Leo Moracchioli I can find great music.
100% I completely agree with you! If there is talent I can appreciate it regardless of rhe genre of music! 🙏💪💪💪🤘
😊🇫🇮💙🎶🎹🎸🥁✨🤘
Audio vol 🔛🔝🔊 Nightwish cant be never too Loud 🎶👍
I completely agree😁😁😁🤘
Just a note: the studio version of this song has a different singer (the original vocalist Tarja Turunen). Third and current singer Floor Jansen is featured in this video. All three singers the band have had are great, but are quite different from one another.
Thanks for the comment and information, much appreciated! I will be listening to all of it through my Nightwish journey and very excited to see the difference in vocals etc.
Thank you🤘💪
@@marbenthesaffa hmm Anette not so great,especially not Live, every song on the set list from this standard setting seminal Wacken event was not written for Floor who had only 10 months in with the band at that point,but she made all of them hers hands down ! the best versions ever ,I have listened to NW & Floor with her 1st band After Forever for about 20yrs,as Tuomas the genius behind the band has said :" She ( Floor) is what we had been missing" ,FYI NW is ALWAYS best Live !
hey Marben ! great reaction ! and Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you.
As someone who started listening to Nightwish and Floor with her 1st band 20 yrs ago I offer My song list recommendations below which is solely focused on the singer you just saw & heard,cheers

Floor was in metal bands before this Revamp and After Forever with heavier metal than Nightwish where she sings with deep growls. One of these bands was her own so she could do everything she wanted. When on her sisters wedding Nightwish called her, she said can it wait till tomorrow I am at a wedding. Then while at the wedding they send her a text following up the phonecall it said can you fill in for our lead singer. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours, there is a documentary about it on UA-cam. The Nightwish songs are much longer than popsongs so its pretty impressive to learn them so quickly. I believe she had a few cards with lyrics all over the stage to help her and the band helped her to start singing at the right time. I believe the fans started to chant Floors name after her first performance with Nightwish. Floor was famous all over the world except in her own country until she sang The Phantom of The Opera in the Dutch tv show Beste Zangers which is on UA-cam. She sang many songs on Beste Zangers including opera and Lady Gaga. This made her famous in her own country the Netherlands which landed her a solo career next to Nightwish in her own country. The German version of Dutch tv show Beste Zangers noticed Floor and ask her to come on the show where she sang in German. Floor can sing in 6 languages as if she is a native from that country. She studied at the Rock Academy while playing in a famous metal band. After The Rock academy the studied musical theater and after that she studied opera singing. One of the most asked questions she gets asked by fans has nothing to do with singing or Nightwish, fans ask her over and over how tall she is. Floor is Dutch and Dutch people are the tallest people in the world. She is tall but next to me or my friend who is 2 meters she would still look small, but next to women in other countries she is a giant and has muscles too. She remind me of a tall Amazonian woman and with her black outfits on stage she looks like Xena The Warrior Princess. Check out her former bands Revamp and After Forever for some heavier stuff than Nightwish. Hearing Floor growl like a man in these bands is something els
Thank you for all this information Chris, I really appreciate it!! 🙏
I really do want to hear some of Floors growls so I'm very keen to give her older stuff a listen!
Thanks a mill bud🤘💪🙏😁
@@marbenthesaffa It is all good ! One song with her old band which is heavier with growls which is recommended a lot is Disdain at parkpop. She even says it to the audience are you guys ready for something heavier. Even if you are not into opera you should watch her sing Phantom of The Opera with Henk Poort to see the highest notes she can sing. We have another famous Dutch singer who has a very good voice and songs as well. Just search for Anouk egg incident. They threw an egg at her at a music festival with 50.000 people because they didnt feel her music was a fit for the festival. She took of her t-shirt and proceeded to sing in her red bra, no fucks given, I didnt mind at all because she is pretty hot lol. Anouk is a real badass she even got into an argument with a record producer from a big record label in the US, who wanted to her to behave and sing a certain way. No one tells Anouk what to do so she pushed him in a heated argument blowing her career in the US. P.s. Floor doesnt think her growling is that good, but her fans disagree. You cannot compare yourself as a woman growling like Jinjer.
@@2012inca haha funny you should mention Phantom of the Opera.. I just finished the reaction, busy with the edit and will be out tomorrow.. if there aren't any copyright claims🤞 But I LOVE it!! My favorite musical so had to do that track next!
Thanks again for the info man💪🤘🙏
@@marbenthesaffa Yours is an empty hope by Nightwish more growling, it is not the male singer growling like some people thought, it is Floor.
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden is quite the fan of Nightwish, and he said their composer Tuomas on keyboards is a F**king Genius. Great reaction, and Nightwish can go hard or soft, either way it will be good, take it from an old metal head.
Steve Harris is one of me heros! And if that is what he says about Tuomas then I 110% believe him💪🤘 I've only heard the one song so I'm super super amped to dive into this rabbit hole and really get to know NW. Thanks for the comment and that fact man, really interesting and good to know🤘💪
I might be wrong but there has been told that Steve Harris has also called Nightwish the best band in the world atm...

I hope you enjoyed your entrance to this musical rabbit hole of the band Nightwish... Welcome! Just follow Sir Gabriel's path he's laid out for you, in any order. I'd like to join you on your journey as you become part of Nightwish's story, if that's alright with you!
Thanks for watching and the comment!
I have LOVED my entrance to the world that is Nightwish! Thanks for the welcome :)
I would be honored if you joined for my NW journey!!
I have only seen two people give this performance a thumbs down. My wife, who hates non-dance music, and a classical music reviewer who did not understand it at all. This person even criticized Floor Jansen for having to use “mic techniques”.
Nightwish Army Pennsylvania Division and new sub checking in! It is always fun watching someone having their first Floorgasms! Welcome to the wonderful world Of Nightwish and our Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen. P.S. Nightwish is a band best enjoyed live.
Thank you for the sub and the comment!🙏 I have been told they are best live and so far I can certainly see why😁
Thank you for welcoming me and hope to see you the next episode of my NW journey🙏🤘
It’s hard to believe, but live Nightwish is better than studio. There are a few music videos & mostly lyric videos for the newest album Human Nature.
You should check out Dark Chest of Wonders from the same Wacken 2013 show. It was the show opener. Floor has only been with the band a very short time at this point. It’s the first time many of the 82k in attendance saw her as the lead singer in Nightwish. Hell of a debut. Dark Chest sets the stage for the magic to come. 🤘🔥
Thank you for the recommendation! Much appreciated! I have so much to catch up on it's crazy and very exciting. I'm ready for the rabbit hole that is Nightwish😁💪🤘
NIghtwish & Floor fan from Wisconsin USA. Hope you enjoy your Nightwish journey!
Thanks Peter, I'm already loving the journey! 🙏🤘🤘🤘
Nightwish is best served LIVE. To hear a studio version of this song, you would have to go back to the first singer, Tarja. Floor was a fill in replacement in late 2012 during the US World Tour, when their 2nd singer, Anette, fell ill, mid tour. The first studio album with Floor Jansen was in 2014. Enjoy this band, all versions, all singers, all eras. Well worth the effort!
Thanks for the comment Randy. And thanks for the info. Excited to walk this very long journey called Nightwish😁🤘
"Fell ill" yeah, right. They had a fight and she left the band (was fired) during a tour.
Incidentally, Floor's actually mentioned Pantera as one of her favourite bands. Thanks for the reaction!
Thanks for watching! I believe she is yes :D
Yep there it is.....The Face ...... in all reaction video's it is priceless ❤😂😂
Hey nice reaction. I agree about musical taste changing as you get older. As I’m over 50 now the male dominated Guns n Roses, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden etc are making way for the lighter pure tonnes from the female singers in Nightwish, Epica, Larkin Poe, Samantha Fish.
Thanks alot Andrew, much appreciated! Yeah definitely, the taste almost evolves as we grow wiser! So I've noticed and it's amazing bacause now there are all these bands that I can discover and go down these awesome rabbit holes🙏🤘🤘🤘
Goosebumps? Every time. :) Welcome aboard . (Welcome back?) :)
@5:47 "Wow" ? Yeah, gorgeous , visually, eh? Along with the music , the stage presence is nails, along with the video capture by Ville Lapiainen & crew.
Every single time!!!
Thanks man, much appreciated 🤘 🙏
Good stuff !! Glad to see you enjoy it. What a group, What a SINGER !! If you listen to her and don't get goosebumps, you better check your pulse...
Thank you! Yeah I completely agree! Amazing band and 100%, you don't get goosebumps you're doing something wrong🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘
Welcome to your first Floorgasm. 🤘😅
Thanks man! Excited for this journey 🤘😅
Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA, USA welcomes you to the beginning of an epic journey discovering the magic of Nightwish!
Please see below a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances, ready for more reactions! And there are plenty of heavier songs!
Oh, BTW, the cool thing with the old pipe organ pipes is actually a custom made wine rack adapted into a keyboard stand.
Hi Amy. Thank you very much for the extremely warm welcome to the Nightwish family. It's been overwhelming and I can definitely feel the love the fans have for this band..which makes me even more excited to go down this journey.
Gabriel sent me all the information, very kind of him! So many many more reactions to come. I'm very excited!😁
Ahh thank youuuuu!!! I was waiting for someone to let me know what that was. Now I finally know😁💪
Thanks you💪🤘
Gabriel is not the only person a reactor should look to ,he's just one person who does not represent this massive fan base ,thus everyones input is equally valid.
@@nicod1361 If I were a reactor, I'd read all the comments and yes, be open to everyone's input! I cite Gabriel bc he gives a list of links, so its easier to choose whatever song they'd like to hear next. If you were providing a list of useful links, I'd say hey check out @nico... I think it's obvious that I didn't intend to slight or dismiss anyone else's comments. Sorry if you personally were offended tho. What's your channel? I'll go support you...
@@amygoodson-catlady Amy it's not that I was offended, I just think the many people who keep telling reactors things like : " just follow Gabriels list" etc tends to make many reactors think that they should only look to that list for songs etc thereby basically ignoring all else, btw my list below I have posted for many yrs now ,funny how very few have seen it ? cheers
Hey ______ ! great reaction ! and Welcome to the best band and female vocalist of our time, I know bold statement but if you take the journey you will understand ,the YT fan base is massive,passionate & very active, 80% of which is for the Floor era,she stepped in Oct 2012 ,and has been their 3rd,current & "Final" vocalist ,GLS is the epitome of Symphonic Metal with more of a classical influence as is many of their compositions but many from this concert are much heavier ,also GLS is the most reacted to song on YT ever with several vocal coaches having over 2.5 Million views .But this was but a very small taste of what Floor & NW has in store for you.

I can relate, as the same thing happened to me. I'm not a fan of opera, and that was the original singer's lane. Years later I heard they had replaced her (twice) and gave them another chance ... finding my favorite band of all time, my favorite singer and my favorite composer. It was just a matter of taste, not quality ... all three singers are incredible talents, I just don't like how affected the opera style sounds to me - stuffy! Glad you found them. You will discover that the genius of Tumoas, with his compositions, will deliver brilliance with each song and something different. Enjoy your journey, it's been the best one I've ever taken.
Thank you Chad!!! 🙏🙏🙏🤘
The Nightwish army arrived XD I've been a fan of Nightwish since 2004 and I still get kak from 🇿🇦 metalheads for it (last night I had a reminder of that at a gig). I fell off from them with their 2nd vocalist but a friend showed me this recording in 2014 and Floor is an amazing fit. The last 2 albums are recorded with Floor at the mic.
Yep, you are spot on here - this is all about telling the stories, the most effecient way possible. Tuomas (keyboard) writes the stories and composes the raw music, before they all gets together and by using their joint forces - they enhances the stories to incredible experiences. And Floor is by far the greatest storyteller in the galaxy. She is the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented singer in the world in this century - not kidding!! You have barely scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities here - and please do stick to the live performances, if possible - Nightwish and Floor are feeding from the audience. No autotune, no pitch correction - just skills and power beyond belief.
Wacken 2013
Wembley 2015
Tampere 2015
Buenos Aires 2018
Are the concerts to go for - in that order, to experience the Nightwish evolution.
And their newest album is a masterpiece, but still officially only available as studio - so here you will experience their studio abilities.
By the way - Floor replaced Anette Olzon late in 2012, in the middle of a world tour, so this performance from August 2013, she had only been with Nightwish for 10 month, singing old songs not written to her incredible voice techniques - but she certainly made her own versions!! No copying here at all. But from 2015, the new songs were written to her - and at the same time, Tuomas's focus in his stories changed. And furthermore he realized that he had no more limitations in his writing - Floor could do literally anything - just far better!!
A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 🤘
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! The response has been overwhelming and so full of love from all the NW fans. Absolutely love it and excites me so much to go down this journey!🙏
Thanks your for all that information, it really helps me navigate the deep waters that is NW and give me a good starting point.
I'm excited for this journey and a long one it will be!
Floor really has opened my eyes. Wow! She is unbelievably talented!! 🤘💪
Thanks for the comment and welcoming me. I really appreciate it!🙏
The poet and the pendulum!!!
Increíble song
I'll be sure to check that out, thank you🤘
One of my favorite Nightwing songs is seven days to the wolves. It rocks hard.
I'll be sure to check that out, thank you💪🤘🙏😁
I had to watch this again mainly because of your Maiden shirt. They were the first band I saw live in 81 with the original singer-Paul Dianno and a French band called Trust supported with Nico Mc Brain on drums. One of my school teachers started a rock club at school against the headmaster and organised the trip to the concert
What a cool teacher you had! Schools I went to would burn you if you listened to metal!🤣🙏💪🤘
Awesome shirt dude
I am getting that tattoo that's off of the fear of the dark album >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I love Maiden >>>>>>>>>> UP THE IRONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks bro🤘🤘 Got that back in 2006..I think.. at their gig in London🙏🤘 If I had to choose 1 favorite band it would be Maiden. You can see the wall behind me.. Maiden. The cap I wear.. Maiden🤣
Ahh dude that's so awesome!! Do it!!🤘🤘🤘🙏
Greetings from a fellow Saffa!
Came across your reaction this morning.
I discovered Nightwish back in 2005, heard their song Nemo on the soundtrack from the movie 'The Cave', and they have been my favorite band ever since!
Their popularity have grown immensely over the past few years, and hopefully here too so that they might consider visiting SA in the near future. I would be the first in line to buy tickets.
Loved your reaction, see you did another 2, so gonna check those out now.
New subscriber!
Hi Human! Lekker om nog n Saffa hier te sien!
Thanks for the sub bud and for dropping a comment! I have fallen in love with this band and I'm only 3 songs in🤣🤘
Thanks again bud, hope to see you at the next one🤘🤘🤘💪
Since you're into deathcore, check out another Nightwish song, "Yours is an Empty Hope" from Wembley 2015: ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html
Pay close attention to the chorus and assume nothing. Follow your ears.
Thanks for the recommendation Bill, much appreciated! I'll mostly certainly be checking that out. I've had a taste of Nightwish and now I need more💪🤘
I'll be keeping an ear open for that!!
Agreed. Avery different side to Floor's wonderful voice and a much dirtier song. I also second Wembley 15 version.
@@marbenthesaffa Just tell him Floor is doing all the growls, so disappointing to see so many reactors thinking its bass player Marko doing the growls.He is the clean voice in this song.
I really wish people would stop suggesting the Wembley version out of habit, the Mexico City version is better in every possible way besides the effects and lightshow.
@@Hexley_Vexley "Out of habit?" think that's a bit dismissive of others opinions. Perhaps people suggesing wembley have heard several versions and happen to like it best. You stating that another show is "better in every possible way" doesn't make it fact. In any event if someone becomes a fan they'll listen to multiple versions eventually.
An honest and great reaction as always. I hope you'll continue the Nightwish journey. it would be exciting!
I was the same with you at first. I've listened Nightwish once with the previous vocalist Tarja back in days when I was a teen metalhead. I appreciated them but never listened again, because I thought symphonic metal wasn't my cup of tea. Then after many years, when I was mid-thirties I've discovered this performance and Floor and addicted to their songs quickly. Especially the live versions. Almost every song feels like a new journey.
Thanks Ozy. Always appreciate your comments. I will certainly be going on a Nightwish journey. Might take some time to get through all of it but I shall prevail :)
Ahh so you know EXACTLY what I meant with this. Its strangely amazing how our music taste can change and adapt over time. There is a whole new world of Metal for me to discover and Im excited.
Thanks again Ozy, much appreciated!!
One very good reason for GLS, especially Wacken 2013, Floor, being the most reacted to is that this is probably the definitive rendition of one of the most beautiful songs ever written. If that is not a good reason nothing is. My own reaction to this particular video, never having heard of Nightwish before, was instant adoration of Floor and instant conscription to the Nightwish Army.
I 100% agree with you! This song is a masterpiece and a true show of what they are capable of. It's a great way to start the journey that is Nightwish! The nightwish army is the most loving and accepting fans in the world, no doubt! 🙏
Thanks for watching and thank yoh for the comment! 🤘
I hope to see you at the next one😁💪
a friend of mine suggested to have a look at your video's. and i'm glad i did! how nice it is to see someone genuinely fall in love with the band! 😍🤘
Hi! I'm so glad your friend suggested my videos🙏 That's amazing!
And I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I have absolutely fallen in love with Nightwish, one of my top bands at the moment!
Thanks for watching🙏🙏🙏🤘
me too , the reaction scen is just amazing
Thanks Peter🤘🙏💪
Hello @MarbenTheSaffa, this is not an epic song only, this was an epic live show !!
You are 100% correct, the 3 songs I've heard from this show now all blew my mind😁💪🤘🙏
Sub'd for the Nightwish journey - and I also would never have thought I would like this, being into stuff like Motorhead, Priest, Anthrax, Pantera, Saxon, Megadeth - stuff like that, now Nightwish are one of my absolute favourite bands. Take the journey dude, you won't regret it 🤘
Thanks Jim, I appreciate it! Episode 2 of my NW journey will be out at 6pm (GMT+2) today! I couldn't wait.. I had to do my next reaction because I'm so excited about this band and starting to really LOVE them🤘
It's going to be quite the journey and I hope you enjoy it with me.
Thanks for the comment Jim, much appreciated🤘🙏
@@marbenthesaffa no worries dude, look forward to being part of your journey 🤘
@@jimharris367 Thanks Jim. Hope to see you for the premiere later🤘💪🙏
If you continue this Nightwish journey, forget about the studio recordings. They are great, but Nightwish is at the top of their game when they are performing live. So please ALWAYS react to the live recordings. It's an experience, you can count on it.
So far I've done 9 reactions and 8 of them were LIVE shows. Wanted to see a music video but next will be live again😁💪🙏
Floor has just released her first solo song "Fire". She sang different types of music in Beste Zangers. Look for her Amsterdam Concert on youtube. The front person can make or break a band. Floor is a generational talent. She is insanely good.
I actually saw her sing Fire yesterday on UA-cam. Saw it was just released and decided to just watch and OMG it was amazing! She's is incredible🙏🤘💪
Don’t bother with the studio versions, they’re so much better live
The lyric videos for HumanIINature are pretty good TBF. But in general i would agree. Anything from Wacken 2013 or Wembley 2015 is Fire
Their new album is amazing. I can't wait until they release the next album!
I would argue that with Anette -- and I hate to say it but also with Tarja -- he might be better off with the studio recordings. Floor is best live... Like Nemo live with Tarja? Just go to the studio version, it's horrifyingly bad.
Whilst I've always loved Tarja's haunting tone, she has the rhythm of an epileptic live, constantly going off the rails, missing entrances, and at times outright ignoring not just the rest of the band, but also the backing tracks. You don't get to improv like it's dinner theatre when you've got a pre-recorded backing track. I think it's a testament to the skill of the A&R guys that Tarja is actually on-beat in the studio. Admittedly it was far far worse on the "End of an era" tour where you could just tell the band was falling apart. Toumas in particular wincing and visibly thinking "where the hell is she going?1?" every time she ended up half a measure or more off.
And there are a few ultra-rare cases where the album was better than Floor. See the studio version of Amaranth vs. the live performance from this same show for example. Floors performance is by no means horrible, but it doesn't feel as well polished as the rest of the show. Admittedly, given Floor had been with the band for what? Six months or so by the time of Wacken 2013? Makes even her less refined performances at said show all the more impressive. (and despite fanboy claims to the contrary, there were big flubs)
In that way, I think long-time fans shoveled a bit too much manure Ms. Olzon's way. So many iconic songs from her tenure as lead singer. Amaranth, Storytime, Ghost River, Song of Myself...
That said I'll take any of Floor's performances of Storytime over Anette's any day of the week. Night and Day.
So you have just experienced your first Floorgasms (chills from Floor singing)! Congrats! I believe there will be many more to come :D
If you want something heavier and faster paced, i suggest you take listen of Romanticide, from the Gabriel's list. And they really don't have 2 songs that sounds same, so you will have lots of moments to discover something new again and again.
Welcome to the world of Nightwish!
Greetings from Finland! 🤘🎶 🖤 🎸🇫🇮
I have indeed! Thank you for the warm welcome. I can see the Nightwish fans are amazing and extremely accepting of new fans. Love the energy!!
Thank you for the recommendations. I will certainly ne checking that out. I'm excited for the journey that is Nightwish😁💪
Brow i just say 1 thing: The Greatest On Earth
Great reaction! Thanks! On your journey, I believe this is your first time meeting Troy. He's an amazing musician. That was him (not Emppu) playing electric guitar in the opening, with a gadget called an e-bow. He's mimicking a wonderful cello part that is played on the album and in other live versions and I love how they mix things up. His sections on the pipes followed. You'll run into him again, I'm sure!
Thanks Bob! 🤘🤘🤘🙏
(1) It's hard to beat a Finnish metal band if you're looking for "First time hearing....", and (2) it's an absolutely epic performance.
100%!!! This band is now a part of me😁😁🤘🙏🙏🙏
Dude, this is your best review yet 👏
Thanks bro🤘💪
Awe ma se kind, slapping the like and following your journey.
Awe Reaper! Thanks alot, much appreciated!!! 🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division enjoying your reaction , This is there 3rd and current singer Floor Jansen the Valkyrie Queen of Metal . on this night they were the headliner in front of 82,000 people . our General Gabriel Bardac left you band info & links to help lead you navigate the Nightwish experience . NOTE : Floor had only been with Nightwish for 10 months at this show so all the songs she's singing are songs from the 1st two singers but Floor makes everything her own so all studio recordings are not Floor
Thank you for the comment! All these comments are so heart warming and shows the level of love people have for this band.. which excited me even more going down this journey😁
Thanks for the information💪🤘
Gabriel did indeed give me the whole breakdown which is so great because it gives me a good starting point. I have only seen the tiny tip of the massive iceberg that is Nightwish😁
@@marbenthesaffa People are so in love with this band for so many reasons... but I personally can say that this band lifted me from mediocre severe depression and later on heard the same from so many others...
I love the original version with Tarja, but she has a much more operatic sound that is not everyone's cup of tea. Floor is incredible and this live performance is unreal.
Hello MarbenTheSaffa .
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.
Hi Frenk! Thank you for welcoming me into the wonderful world that is Nightwish😁
Thank you for the information, everyone has been so great with their comments. It shows me the true love fans have for this band and that makes me even more excited to go down this rabbit hole😁
Gabriel has already given me the full rundown, thank you🤘
Love the energy here!!!
Great reaction and glad you enjoyed it.
The studio version of this song will be with Nightwish's first lead singer Tarja. And Nightwish is best enjoyed life.
Wait for Gabriel, he will have backgrounds and a list of songs you can explore.
Thanks Martin. Yeah I really enjoyed that! Dont know where ive been! haha! Ohhh that i didnt know, didnt know she wasnt the original vocalist either. Interesting! Thanks for watching and the comment dude
Dark Chest of Wonders from Wacken 2013 was the show opener. It's a lot of fun! I think you might like it.
Thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely be checking that out! :D Im sure I will like it, no doubt! :D
very cool reaction,
greetings from the Nightwish Army from Germany :-)
Thank you very much! I appreciate it! :)
Hello Marben . A big Nightwish fan here. I hope its your thing now. Because you will be amazed by what they all can do. Hope to hear more from you 🤘
Hi Helen. Thank yoh for the comment and for watching!🙏 It is definitely my thing now. NW are amazing and you will definitely hear alot more from me😁🤘
Dude I enjoyed watching you have your first Floorgasm!!! This was written like a classical music SCORE. Different parts at different tempo's. Hello from Chicago division of the Nightwish Army.
Thank you such, that first one is always the best one hey but I think every track of their will bring forward a Floorgasm.. I have no doubt of that! 💪🤘
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment, much appreciated🤘💪🙏
Hi Marben enjoy your Nightwish journey love and peace from Ireland 🇮🇪🇺🇦☘️🇺🇦🇮🇪🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hi Brendan. Thank you very much! Gotta say, I LOVE Ireland and the Irish, spent a lot of time there during my stay in London and wow, I was made to feel right at home :)
Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment!
Love and peace from South Africa!! :D
The one studio / music, lyrics videos I like are "Endless Forms Most Beautiful"...." Elan" and "Harvest" which Troy is the lead vocalist.
Pantera is one of Floor's favorite bands
So I've been told yes! :D
Bro just had his first Floorgasm. Check out her duet with Henk Poort of the Phantom of the Opera.
