I like how you are talking about Floor's confidence, because before she joined Nightwish she struggled exactly with that. Let's just say that she saved Nightwish and Nightwish saved her :)
Oh our dearest Marko! He is an exceptional singer and musician in general and the only one entitled to wear a "Floor Jansen is my back up singer" t-shirt 😂😂😂 ( a wee Nightwish army inside joke). Everyone loves Marko! Bless his soul!
At the end, FYI: Floor gestures to the man in the high hat, Tuomas Holopainen. He plays all the keyboards, composes 95% of the music. Tuomas is 6'2", Marko Hietala (bassist/vocals) is 5'11". Lead guitar is Emppu Vuroinen, 5'3". He and Floor always kid around. Floor is a shade over 6', but wears 4" heels when performing, so their occasional dances together are a hoot. Every member of the band, including the drummer (Jukka Nevaleinen) replacement, Kai Hahto, is a master musician. Nightwish is like an all-star team, every player tops at their position. And I love you guys enthusiasm for music.
Nightwish had to change Drummer, because of Health reasions (Jukka have problems with Insomnia, but is still a part of the Management of Nightwish). So far you have heard both Floor & Marko singing, but Troy besides being able to play large number of instruments (from Flute, Guitar, uilleann pipes) also sings, but mainly on some of their more "Folk/Celtic" inspired Songs. I would suggest Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean or I want my Tears back (both from Bueno Aires 2018). If you want to hear Marko shine, try The Islander or Kiss while your lips are still red (more quite songs), Nighwish have also done a cover of Pink Floyds - High Hopes thats also amazing. And as you most likely have figured out, Nightwish is good on Studio Records, but its Live they really shines, so if given the choise alway choose live versions, you cannot go wrong with anything from Wacken 2013, Wembley & Tampere 2015, or Bueno Aires 2018, those Concerts are legendary.
The author John Ringo wrote a book series that stemmed from THAT line, the Black Tide Rising books; military fiction with zombies caused by a virus...twist is they're not DEAD, just mindless, violent, and hungry. It's great escapist fiction, hilarious spots, and the "Light a candle" section in the third book can bring tears to your eyes. It's good.
What's God, if not, the spark that started life? well - maybe more, but that's what we can detect. And then this 'It's hard to light a candle easy to curse the dark instead'. Really like in the deepest dark you see a spark of light surprisingly far. And even a small candle gives so much light.
@@gregzerby7168 Exactly my interpretation. When there are times of trouble, we easily tend to blame everything around us for that (and waste our energy with it). Why don't we use that energy to start the change, best beginning with ourselves (don't wait, that someone else would come to light the candle).
HELL YEAH !!!! NIGHTWISH ARMY .. WEST VIRGINIA 1st BRIGADE HERE !!! .. love your reaction once again Suzy ...glad you brought your friend to discover the sheer MAJESTY that is NIGHTWISH ....
I'm a pink Floyd wrinkly from the 70s NW are the first band that get into my soul like Floyd did that's how rare these unique bands come around. This is not singles for the masses music, This music is for the spirit if you dare to let it in.
They started the gig with a blast and ended the same way. The whole concert it's a fantastic ride. You can choose any song from this concert and you will enjoy it
very good reaction thanks both of you a very good concert is nightwish rock in rio 2015 floor get mad and you see floor growlen in yours a empty hope a nd a good wishmaster
Gonna mentioned a bunch of facts before this magical,legendary evening at Wacken Open Air in 2013. Floor had before stepping in as a "temporary singer" been out for a long time,suffering from a burnt out state of mind. During that time she had lost all her stage confidence. The guys in Nightwish never saw that as any problem,and they even stated: "We are gonna get that confidence back up in Floor,nothing else matters at this point". And this is more a guess then anything,as i never saw a statement about it but......i think Nightwish had this concert in Wacken in mind,a future goal once she accepted to join them permanently. It was her first major concert with them as a permanent singer,so Marco had the honor of introducing her early on in the concert. Imagine the nerves,the pressure on her behalf as well. But the guys in Nightwish were confident they had restored Floor back to her old self,and the rest is history. One of the best concerts with any band i have ever seen and heard,and the production is just flawless too! The guys in Nightwish has allways been a bunch of genuine,good guys with plenty of humor etc. But i noticed the massive difference after Floor joined. I watched back other live performances with Tarja and the few there is with Anette,and the guys`s good mood seems medium or hardcore suppressed. I even have a friend that got to interview them once during the Tarja era,and him having a crush on Tarja and maybe focusing "alot" on her,she sort of came off abit Diva-ish,and the other guys just tried theyr outmost to look like professionals,but a few of them had expressions,hand and body movement like "oh,here we go again....". They did not look relaxed and comfortable! I did not use to see this back then,i was a massive Tarja supporter myself......i guess i was blind in many ways. Floor Jansen showed me this massive change,without even having it as her agenda,she just is her own sweet,adorable,funny,sassy,charming self with a stage performance,and vocal performances noone else comes remotely close to. I noticed Tarja being more and more "cold" to theyr crowds of live audiences,everything was about herself,not the band kind of. I dont mention Anette much in all of this,because she is not to blame really. They tried to move on from Tarja with Anette,and she did her best....sadly it didnt last,as i think she was never meant to do metal. She got a good pop even rock voice,but metal just deafened her live. No disrespect though,she tried her best. Floor has allways had a huge heart,she loves connecting to her supporters in the crowd or through other platforms. She does naturally what Tarja didnt. Thats why soo many old Tarja supporters turned around completely when Floor joined. Take Ghost Love Score f.ex,it took Floor 1 evening in Wacken to have The Nightwish Army rename it "Ghost Love Floor". We could also see it on the guys in Nightwish. The guys have never looked more relaxed,you can see it on theyr faces that "we finally got the singer we dreamt of having,over all theese years!" Tuomas himself said something that speaks volume: "Floor will be the last vocalist in Nightwish",explaining it with "If she for some reason dediced to leave the band,Nightwish will be no more." He also meant "There is no better vocalist out there for Nightwish" with that statement. Troy that joined them permanently with Floor coming in,said in a interview "i did not like Nightwish`s first vocalist". Something tells me Troy when hearing Floor sing went "im gonna accept to join the band myself!". He has been helping Nightwish for a long time prior to this,you can hear alot of pipes and stuff on records,before he was a official member. The harmony,the smiles on everyones faces (wich only happened after Floor joined) & the chemistry does speak volume for Floor as a person too. She healed up,improved and just completed a allready great band. Now its a amazing band! A band in wich other bands own supporters are jealous of,as every member is so insanely talented,and they complete eachother perfectly. Nightwish started out with childhood friends more or less,that grew in different directions. Today? Today Nightwish is a family! They treat eachother like family. I like how you said it "you can tell that they love eachother". Btw,i loved Jons facial expression changes throughout this song!🤣That was pretty much me by myself,first time hearing them. I think this was the first performance you were properly introduced to her many longlasting,legendary windmills. I have heard vocalists of all genres go: "How on earth doesnt Floor get dizzy from that?! When i try that,i can never go for that long,or im gonna fall over,mess up my performance". Since you love her sass,maybe you should watch her enter the stage,catwalking with confidence to the start of a song: Nightwish - Shudder Before The Beautiful (OFFICIAL LIVE) One of theyr heavier songs,and one of my favourites.
That was very well written, and I totally agree. I did know Floor from After Forever and actually preferred them over Nightwish, while Tarja's stage performance was not my cup of tea - great operatic voice, but no versatility and to diva acting for me (I know it was her husband who made her do that - but!!) After Forever - Floor and the guys (and girls) - completely different. Floor had the direct communication with the crowd already then. But when she entered Nightwish - both her and the rest of Nightwish evolved - and still do!!! I am so looking forward to see them performing their new album live - Floor had already invited all of us to a skeleton competition - and she might even do The Shoemaker!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
That's how you take a simple song about a rollercoaster. An turn it into a battle cry. This is one I play all the time. The picture session at the end. They do every show. Whether they are in front of 80000 or 800. They give the same show. Regardless of the venue. Tuomas has even said in a interview. He prefers the smaller venues "where you can smell the beer and the blood".
The amazing thing is that when most of those fans bought their tickets, Floor wasn't singing for Nightwish, and by this stage (badoom, Tish!) she had been with them 10 months and was still just the fill-in lead singer to allow them to complete their contractual obligations in completing the Imaginaerium world tour. I'm pretty sure it was the largest audience she had ever performed for. It was (as you can see) a perfect match and she had by that time become integrated into the band and an indispensable presence on stage. A few weeks later, after the end of the tour, she (along with troy Doneckly) became permanent members. The rest, as they say, is herstory.
🔊 "Clean-up on Aisle 5 - a gentleman has left his melted face on the floor..." 😱 What you hear coming out of Floor and Marko's mouths is nearly 60 years' combined experience.
Nice reaction! FYI: There were 82,000+ in the audience. Nightwish is the most reacted to artist or band in the history of music reactions videos. Floor is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for little over 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013, when she was 32. She started performing in her first Metal Band, After-Forever at the age of 16. After that band disbanded, she started her own band called Revamp. Which was on hiatus, when she received a call from Nightwish to take over the female lead singing duties mid-tour. The rest is herstory.
They actually called her at her sisters wedding party. When she picked it up she could hear that it was Tuomas but as you can imagine she was a bit distracted so she said can you call me back tomorrow? He politely said sure. A few minutes later he send her a text message that said something like "All we wanted to ask is if you would interested in taking over the function of the vocalist from Anette?. She immediately went outside and called him back. She was on a plane to the U.S. a few hours later. The next show was 2 days later and she only had 1 rehearsal with the band a few hours before her first show and nailed it.
Ah if THREEsixteen impressed with their fireworks, he would faint on The Greatest Show On Earth live at Tampere. The outro isn't part of the song here but TGSOE at Tampere is, until the very end, is the complete original studio track.
i deliver food for Waitr. often, after my last delivery, i put this on and Crank It! bittersweet moment, as Jukka, the drummer, toasts to the camera. other than one special occasion, his last performance on stage with the band. He was forced to step down from performing due to his chronic insomnia. Cheers to you, brother! he works on the business side of the band now.
Big smile on my face here!!! Thanks for such a great reaction. Yes, jaw-dropping, head-bangin' stuff! It's nice to see people really get into it, really FEEL IT, as opposed to just the blank stares from my friends - how sad and confusing - never will figure this one out!
This was the last performance of the concert that night as it came right after " Song of Myself " witch you should check out next. Those two songs back to back = Multiple Floorgasms LOL!! As was the whole show :) Keep em comin! You guys are awesomeness 10 fold!!
Yeah Suzi's back! Nice to meet another member of The Wolf HunterZ band. Hope you get to came back and react again John. Awesome job, guys. You all rock!
This is the most perfect show closer ever. And it's so great to see Tuomas (the guy at the keyboards) so obviously loving the experience. He carries entirety of Nightwish on his shoulders, and there is no doubt Floor Jansen was like an angel sent from heaven to him.
I think it was shortly after this concert they offered her the job full time. At the time of the Wacken concert Floor was still the replacement singer for Anette.
Although it is correct that Floor had not been Public-ally announced at that time they already asked her to become full fledged member after a few weeks. Floor has said so in a interview. They even recorded the moment they asked her to stay on by the same people that recorded the tour. All members are sitting down when you see Floor walk in to frame. You get the impression that someone asked her to go there. Everybody immediately turns and looks at her. She looks kind of puzzled. Kind like what's going on here but before she can say anything it is Tuomas that speak up and says something like "Since we are all here now how would you guys feel if we turn this quartet in to a sextet". A broad smile on Floor's face answered that question quickly. Although quickly added that she would not tell anybody except her close friends and family at the time. It was not until many months later that they made a public announcement.The reaction on Troys face was also kind of funny. It is clear that they informed him that they were going to ask Floor to stay on but left the "little" detail that he was going to be asked aswell. :-) I still do not understand why they left that out of the documentary.
I never cease to love seeing them bow, turn around to take a selfie with the crowd. I would love to see or even have copy of that selfie. Played lead guitar in bands from hair metal to metal for 40 years and I find that genuine moment of respect for the fans most awesome
The best part for me was that you did watch this till the end and notice that nightwish does credit everyone... It is important for them and no matter their main thing is to be taking care of audience, singer, audience...
"Oh my gosh" indeed. Tuomas found his shangri-la when Floor joined Nightwish. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft and some. Marco and Floors voices together 🙏❤️. Thank you for an epic reaction. Paul 🙏😊👍❤️
Jon pointing and yelling "fireworks!" at the end was such a wholesome moment . . . and so fitting for a song that has a carnival / amusement park motif!
Last song at the Wacken 2013 concert. Where to go from this - Why not the first song, the one that set the pace for the concert, "Dark Chest Of Wonders" (sorry, on my mobil, don't have the link right now). Other things worth mentioning to someone who see Nightwish for the first time - 82.000 in the crowd, Floor is 183 cm (6 ft 1?) plus 3-4 inches of heels, and I think the picks the lead/rhytm guitarist throws out has "Nightwish" printed on one side and his name "Emppu" on the other side. Please carry on with the Nightwish views/reactions, you can pick any song from the Wacken 2013 concert and I promise you will not be disappointed. Cheers / B.
Greetings from Finland & thanks for your reaction to this song. Although Floor is an amazing vocalist, she's also very much down to earth. Just last week I watched a video on her YT channel in which she was using a sledge hammer & an electric drill to erect a corral for her two horses. She also said that she doesn't work out, but instead uses hard manual labor to stay fit.
I would like to add, that this concert was the final of the year and was in front of 86,000+ people. Also the first tour with Floor Jansen as lead. I love Nightwish.
Tuomas writes awesome music and they perform it so well in the front of and with the audience. And yes, they are still humble giving notice not only their all fans but a credit to the tour bus drivers and all members around them too.
Great reaction . Welcome John, You have had your first Floorgsm. Suzi....It's kind of a thing with the hair. She does not head bang or hair whip. She is Dutch, she Windmills ! LOL Looking forward to you next reaction. Being band members you appreciate what they have been able to create.
What puzzles me most (...not really anymore) is that Floor windmills like no tomorrow and then in a sec sings those exquisite and often difficult lines totally on point! Talk about control. An unprepared soul like mine would have a hard time returning to the body after such a workout, let alone singing anything. (:D
Nightwish is the best band in the world (my opinion) 😄 If there would be a slogan (if there isn´t one already) it might be: "I don´t listen to music, I listen to Nightwish"
fantastic reaction guys, loved it. You have to watch "learn the setlist in 48 hours". It's a great documentary of Nightwish, in this documentary you can see how Floor started her Nightwish journey and a lot of other interesting stuff.!!
After "Ghost Love Score" my favorite song and performance from this concert was "Ever Dream". Recently it was voted as the top Nightwish song, so they posted the live version on their official UA-cam. You should check it out.
I'm so glad I "found" Nightwish. It was another reactor and I figured "what the heck," and I was hooked from the first song. Thank you guys. I really enjoy your reactions. Keep up the good work. ;-)
The entire concert all 15 songs were this good and the crowd was treated to one of the best LIVE performances ever and to have it in from of the 80,000+ Wacken metal-heads was even more amazing!! Floor and Troy (the multiple instrumentalists) were made made members of the band at this time...duh!!! you think was a hard choice to make (LOL). BTW Floor's own UA-cam channel is really worth a watch to see the simple life queen in all her glory. I guess at 6' 1" and pumping weights helps with the "windmilling" as well as chopping wood on her estate in Sweden!!!! Great reaction and I am sure the next one will be just as enjoyable.
Holy S**t!!! Sick AF! Doesn't get much better than that ladies, gents and all others! Thanks for an entertaining reaction to an exquisite performance you two!:0. P.S. Marko is the bassist/vocalist. Ghost River from this same show is epic & Marko gets involved more
Allmost forgot.....Jon seemed to really enjoy the fireworks and pyrotechnics being on point with the beats in the song. If you ever invite him over again for a Nightwish reaction,you should try: Nightwish Dark Chest Of Wonders Live Wacken 2013. Its the first song they kicked off the concert with. It will leave you both jawdropping im sure.
Watching this reaction like 2 years later is still so cool!!!! and me screaming to myself like...it was her first time at that festival and she just joined the band couple months earlier starting as an interim basically but kept/stayed cause obvs awesomeness...and yes I'm screaming all that xD anyway love your reactions and love every time some new discovers floor and experiences their first floor-gasm xD
Hi Wolf Hunters just found your reaction channel, enjoying the hell out of it - Subscribed - I wanted to recommend a great all-girl band (3 Sisters) out of Monterrey Mexico who Rock. Amazing talent The Warning - @kOiU they started their band in 2014 when they were 14,12, 9 year old and went viral with a cover of Enter Sandman, now with 21+ million views. Today they have put out 1 EP 2 Albums with a 3rd one coming hopefully at the end of the Year all original Music!! They have opened for Def Lepard and the Killers during their Mexico tour. During the Mother of all Rock Festival in Mexico City they shared the stage with Aerosmith, Def Lepard, Alice Cooper, Vince Neal, Tesla, only Mexican Rock Band invited.
If you watch some of their other concerts they do this same thing. They love their audience and fans and it's no wonder their fans are loyal and love them!

Musicians appreciating other musicians always feels good.
I think same.
I like how you are talking about Floor's confidence, because before she joined Nightwish she struggled exactly with that. Let's just say that she saved Nightwish and Nightwish saved her :)
I agree 💯
I saw her with After Forever a couple of times. Was fantastic, and she always knew how to hold the floor
To be honest best part about you guys found Nightwish is that we found The Wolf HunterZ. You guys rock!
You rock! Thanks for saying that!!!
sulosky thank you!
I second that, I haven't had the time to listen to that many of your songs but those I've heard are really good.
@@TheWolfHunterZ I've got Reap What You Sow on repeat. Great stuff.
I completely agree with you Wolf HunterZ ROCKS 🤟🤟
Oh our dearest Marko! He is an exceptional singer and musician in general and the only one entitled to wear a "Floor Jansen is my back up singer" t-shirt 😂😂😂 ( a wee Nightwish army inside joke). Everyone loves Marko! Bless his soul!
Marko was the inspiration for my beard back when Nemo came out.
At the end, FYI: Floor gestures to the man in the high hat, Tuomas Holopainen. He plays all the keyboards, composes 95% of the music. Tuomas is 6'2", Marko Hietala (bassist/vocals) is 5'11".

And I love you guys enthusiasm for music.
And to think 3 of them come from the same small county: Tuomas, Emppu and Jukka, as did Tarja and Sami of the original line-up
@@timomastosalo Marko is also finnish so 4, also Kai, the drummer replacement after Jukka
Nightwish had to change Drummer, because of Health reasions (Jukka have problems with Insomnia, but is still a part of the Management of Nightwish).
So far you have heard both Floor & Marko singing, but Troy besides being able to play large number of instruments (from Flute, Guitar, uilleann pipes) also sings, but mainly on some of their more "Folk/Celtic" inspired Songs.

@@Sargon57 Yeah, but one country is still normal: but those for from the same county. Not from the village, but still close!
According to Floor this concert is one of the highlights if not THE highlight of her career 🤘🏻😍
I love the line " it's hard to light a candle easy to curse the dark instead"... so profound, fits in all our lives
The author John Ringo wrote a book series that stemmed from THAT line, the Black Tide Rising books; military fiction with zombies caused by a virus...twist is they're not DEAD, just mindless, violent, and hungry.

Really like in the deepest dark you see a spark of light surprisingly far. And even a small candle gives so much light.
I take the line to be more like...quit bitching about change and change,do something,make an effort for change..Talk is just talk
@@gregzerby7168 Exactly my interpretation. When there are times of trouble, we easily tend to blame everything around us for that (and waste our energy with it). Why don't we use that energy to start the change, best beginning with ourselves (don't wait, that someone else would come to light the candle).
Quite possibly my favorite lyric of all time
HELL YEAH !!!! NIGHTWISH ARMY .. WEST VIRGINIA 1st BRIGADE HERE !!! .. love your reaction once again Suzy ...glad you brought your friend to discover the sheer MAJESTY that is NIGHTWISH ....
Yeayyy Suzi back!!! Next Nightwish should be "Devil an Deep Dark Ocean" live from Buenos Aires.
💯🤘🤘
I'm a pink Floyd wrinkly from the 70s
NW are the first band that get into my soul like Floyd did that's how rare these unique bands come around.
This is not singles for the masses music,
This music is for the spirit if you dare to let it in.
Daaaaaaamn, I need a time machine NOW. I must go to that concert, no matter what.
Floor had only been with the Band For Ten Months at this time. She learned the entire set list in Two Days When she Was Pulled in .
@Phelan Thanks, Not sure if Revamp was in the Mix or not. Be Safe And Well!
You're Amazing..🌺.both of You.💞...you know All bout respect ..🤘💎....Nightwish Army is with You anyway 💜🦉👑
They started the gig with a blast and ended the same way. The whole concert it's a fantastic ride. You can choose any song from this concert and you will enjoy it

The amazing thing is that when most of those fans bought their tickets, Floor wasn't singing for Nightwish, and by this stage (badoom, Tish!) she had been with them 10 months and was still just the fill-in lead singer to allow them to complete their contractual obligations in completing the Imaginaerium world tour.
I'm pretty sure it was the largest audience she had ever performed for. It was (as you can see) a perfect match and she had by that time become integrated into the band and an indispensable presence on stage.
A few weeks later, after the end of the tour, she (along with troy Doneckly) became permanent members.
The rest, as they say, is herstory.

Floor skipping across the stage makes me happy :)
Floor, in my opinion the most versatile Singer of our Lifetime 🤗❤The female Freddy Mercury The Band has one Leader Tuomas (the Keyboarder)
🔊 "Clean-up on Aisle 5 - a gentleman has left his melted face on the floor..." 😱
What you hear coming out of Floor and Marko's mouths is nearly 60 years' combined experience.
Lol! My face was indeed melted off by this!
Nice reaction! FYI: There were 82,000+ in the audience. Nightwish is the most reacted to artist or band in the history of music reactions videos.
Floor is the 3rd and still current female lead singer of Nightwish (est. 1996) She had been with the band for little over 10 months at the time of this concert on 03 August 2013, when she was 32. She started performing in her first Metal Band, After-Forever at the age of 16. After that band disbanded, she started her own band called Revamp. Which was on hiatus, when she received a call from Nightwish to take over the female lead singing duties mid-tour. The rest is herstory.
That's amazing! 82000? Crazy!!
They actually called her at her sisters wedding party. When she picked it up she could hear that it was Tuomas but as you can imagine she was a bit distracted so she said can you call me back tomorrow? He politely said sure. A few minutes later he send her a text message that said something like "All we wanted to ask is if you would interested in taking over the function of the vocalist from Anette?. She immediately went outside and called him back. She was on a plane to the U.S. a few hours later. The next show was 2 days later and she only had 1 rehearsal with the band a few hours before her first show and nailed it.
Ah if THREEsixteen impressed with their fireworks, he would faint on The Greatest Show On Earth live at Tampere. The outro isn't part of the song here but TGSOE at Tampere is, until the very end, is the complete original studio track.
Oh yes for sure!
I wanna see!!
@@jonbulack2247 yes, i wanna see your reaction on this one too! 🤟🏼
YESSSSS!!!
i deliver food for Waitr. often, after my last delivery, i put this on and Crank It! bittersweet moment, as Jukka, the drummer, toasts to the camera. other than one special occasion, his last performance on stage with the band. He was forced to step down from performing due to his chronic insomnia. Cheers to you, brother! he works on the business side of the band now.
Nightwish music deserves to be played extra loud. Cheers / B.
Jukka is my fav drummer of all time.

Big smile on my face here!!! Thanks for such a great reaction. Yes, jaw-dropping, head-bangin' stuff! It's nice to see people really get into it, really FEEL IT, as opposed to just the blank stares from my friends - how sad and confusing - never will figure this one out!
I always feel great when I see musicians appreciate and love each other's music and style.
This was the last performance of the concert that night as it came right after " Song of Myself " witch you should check out next. Those two songs back to back = Multiple Floorgasms LOL!! As was the whole show :) Keep em comin! You guys are awesomeness 10 fold!!
Yeah Suzi's back! Nice to meet another member of The Wolf HunterZ band. Hope you get to came back and react again John. Awesome job, guys. You all rock!
This is the most perfect show closer ever.
And it's so great to see Tuomas (the guy at the keyboards) so obviously loving the experience. He carries entirety of Nightwish on his shoulders, and there is no doubt Floor Jansen was like an angel sent from heaven to him.
Welcome to the World of NIGHTWISH. A talented group of musicians.
Floor giving her 1000000000 percent energy was just amazing to watch. Great reaction mam sir
The Joy.
😯
It's a beautiful thing.
I think it was shortly after this concert they offered her the job full time. At the time of the Wacken concert Floor was still the replacement singer for Anette.
Actually the band had already decided to make Floor a permanent member, but decided to wait until releasing the news to the press.
@@tarmotyyri6733 Thanks good to know.
Although it is correct that Floor had not been Public-ally announced at that time they already asked her to become full fledged member after a few weeks. Floor has said so in a interview. They even recorded the moment they asked her to stay on by the same people that recorded the tour. All members are sitting down when you see Floor walk in to frame. You get the impression that someone asked her to go there. Everybody immediately turns and looks at her. She looks kind of puzzled. Kind like what's going on here but before she can say anything it is Tuomas that speak up and says something like "Since we are all here now how would you guys feel if we turn this quartet in to a sextet". A broad smile on Floor's face answered that question quickly. Although quickly added that she would not tell anybody except her close friends and family at the time. It was not until many months later that they made a public announcement.The reaction on Troys face was also kind of funny. It is clear that they informed him that they were going to ask Floor to stay on but left the "little" detail that he was going to be asked aswell. :-) I still do not understand why they left that out of the documentary.
@@ronaldboers8061 I would LOVE to be able to watch that video!
I never cease to love seeing them bow, turn around to take a selfie with the crowd. I would love to see or even have copy of that selfie. Played lead guitar in bands from hair metal to metal for 40 years and I find that genuine moment of respect for the fans most awesome
I like this guy. Bring him on for more reactions! He needs to experience more Nightwish! haha You guys rock!
Will DO!
MORE MORE MORE!!!! You guys absolutely rock! Your reactions are so great to watch. I really, really like your style :-)
The best part for me was that you did watch this till the end and notice that nightwish does credit everyone... It is important for them and no matter their main thing is to be taking care of audience, singer, audience...
Thank you guys! Bring jon back for some more Nightwish, he will be amazed!
Hey guys great concert the July 4th weekend! Love this song... and heck if I had just played in front of 80,000 people, I'd be soaking that in too.
Lake Lili that would be awesome. Glad u watched and liked the show!!!!
Fantastisch job guys. Greatest Show on Earth Tampere is 24ish minutes long. Well worth it.
"Oh my gosh" indeed. Tuomas found his shangri-la when Floor joined Nightwish. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft and some. Marco and Floors voices together 🙏❤️. Thank you for an epic reaction. Paul 🙏😊👍❤️
Jon pointing and yelling "fireworks!" at the end was such a wholesome moment . . . and so fitting for a song that has a carnival / amusement park motif!
Last song at the Wacken 2013 concert. Where to go from this - Why not the first song, the one that set the pace for the concert, "Dark Chest Of Wonders" (sorry, on my mobil, don't have the link right now).
Other things worth mentioning to someone who see Nightwish for the first time - 82.000 in the crowd, Floor is 183 cm (6 ft 1?) plus 3-4 inches of heels, and I think the picks the lead/rhytm guitarist throws out has "Nightwish" printed on one side and his name "Emppu" on the other side.
Please carry on with the Nightwish views/reactions, you can pick any song from the Wacken 2013 concert and I promise you will not be disappointed.
Cheers / B.
Never............gets................old!! Seeing someone's first reaction to this band........welcome to the Army :)
That's the sound of 82,000 lives changed in one night.
I had tears flowing thoughout this reaction. Tears of joy. Thank you so much!
Nightwish, my favorite band. 💪
You HAVE to do Nightwish The Greatest Show On Earth Live, and you should do it together,
And so much energy for the last song of the show still.
Greetings from Finland & thanks for your reaction to this song. Although Floor is an amazing vocalist, she's also very much down to earth. Just last week I watched a video on her YT channel in which she was using a sledge hammer & an electric drill to erect a corral for her two horses. She also said that she doesn't work out, but instead uses hard manual labor to stay fit.
You really need to hear more NIGHTWISH :)
I would like to add, that this concert was the final of the year and was in front of 86,000+ people. Also the first tour with Floor Jansen as lead.
I love Nightwish.
This is at the very end of an hour and a half, very high energy set - and they are still killing it!!
See musicians appreciate other's work it's fantastic, you're so generous, waiting for more music from you and more ractions too
Eber falls : We are become fire. Amazing Finnish band.
Tuomas writes awesome music and they perform it so well in the front of and with the audience. And yes, they are still humble giving notice not only their all fans but a credit to the tour bus drivers and all members around them too.
Awww he's about to have his 1st Floorgasm!❤
My favorite song from Nightwish? All of them.
Great reaction . Welcome John, You have had your first Floorgsm. Suzi....It's kind of a thing with the hair. She does not head bang or hair whip. She is Dutch, she Windmills ! LOL Looking forward to you next reaction. Being band members you appreciate what they have been able to create.
What puzzles me most (...not really anymore) is that Floor windmills like no tomorrow and then in a sec sings those exquisite and often difficult lines totally on point! Talk about control. An unprepared soul like mine would have a hard time returning to the body after such a workout, let alone singing anything. (:D
Nightwish is the best band in the world (my opinion) 😄
If there would be a slogan (if there isn´t one already) it might be:
"I don´t listen to music, I listen to Nightwish"
fantastic reaction guys, loved it. You have to watch "learn the setlist in 48 hours". It's a great documentary of Nightwish, in this documentary you can see how Floor started her Nightwish journey and a lot of other interesting stuff.!!
Suzi all expecting to dish out a floorgasm, then gets slammed herself with a Marcogasm!😂
lol
After "Ghost Love Score" my favorite song and performance from this concert was "Ever Dream". Recently it was voted as the top Nightwish song, so they posted the live version on their official UA-cam. You should check it out.
I'm so glad I "found" Nightwish. It was another reactor and I figured "what the heck," and I was hooked from the first song. Thank you guys. I really enjoy your reactions. Keep up the good work. ;-)
wow new member nighwish journey come to react :) very good reaction both of you. thanx and have great day there both.
Nice one guys, really looking forward to seeing you continue down the NightWish rabbit hole 🤘
That's how you close a show in front of an 82k attendance concert. 😀
Yes it is.
They don't do that because of the money or fame. It's just love for music and fans. And we love them back!
Best part about first time reaction to Nightwish, especially with other musicians is it always happens this way. Eyebrows go up, then the jaw drops.
The entire concert all 15 songs were this good and the crowd was treated to one of the best LIVE performances ever and to have it in from of the 80,000+ Wacken metal-heads was even more amazing!! Floor and Troy (the multiple instrumentalists) were made made members of the band at this time...duh!!! you think was a hard choice to make (LOL). BTW Floor's own UA-cam channel is really worth a watch to see the simple life queen in all her glory. I guess at 6' 1" and pumping weights helps with the "windmilling" as well as chopping wood on her estate in Sweden!!!! Great reaction and I am sure the next one will be just as enjoyable.
Holy S**t!!! Sick AF! Doesn't get much better than that ladies, gents and all others! Thanks for an entertaining reaction to an exquisite performance you two!:0. P.S. Marko is the bassist/vocalist. Ghost River from this same show is epic & Marko gets involved more
Smiles Family thank you!!!
that guy (and everyone else) needs more nightwish in his life ;)
Jon just experienced the Floorgasm!
This is the song that got me into Nightwish. Nice to see a reaction to this one. ✌🤘
I've seen a ton of reaction videos and you guys are way fun and entertaining. Thanks.
Allmost forgot.....Jon seemed to really enjoy the fireworks and pyrotechnics being on point with the beats in the song. If you ever invite him over again for a Nightwish reaction,you should try: Nightwish Dark Chest Of Wonders Live Wacken 2013. Its the first song they kicked off the concert with. It will leave you both jawdropping im sure.
Watching this reaction like 2 years later is still so cool!!!! and me screaming to myself like...it was her first time at that festival and she just joined the band couple months earlier starting as an interim basically but kept/stayed cause obvs awesomeness...and yes I'm screaming all that xD anyway love your reactions and love every time some new discovers floor and experiences their first floor-gasm xD
I just noticed this: when they were taking pictures one of them was chosen for the album/dcd cover.
I see succes in the future of your band 🐱👤😎👌 And Nightwish alsoo does meet and greet !!
The whole Wakken2013 concert is epic. Nice to start it at last song. Great reactions, thank you🤪.
Song of my self
Yours an empty hope
Stargazers
💗
You just aren't human if this band doesn't evoke an emotional response from you.
John's reaction is like the best thing ever! Loved this and great song choice for his first reaction 🤘🔥
Hi Wolf Hunters just found your reaction channel, enjoying the hell out of it - Subscribed - I wanted to recommend a great all-girl band (3 Sisters) out of Monterrey Mexico who Rock. Amazing talent The Warning - @kOiU they started their band in 2014 when they were 14,12, 9 year old and went viral with a cover of Enter Sandman, now with 21+ million views. Today they have put out 1 EP 2 Albums with a 3rd one coming hopefully at the end of the Year all original Music!! They have opened for Def Lepard and the Killers during their Mexico tour. During the Mother of all Rock Festival in Mexico City they shared the stage with Aerosmith, Def Lepard, Alice Cooper, Vince Neal, Tesla, only Mexican Rock Band invited.
If you watch some of their other concerts they do this same thing. They love their audience and fans and it's no wonder their fans are loyal and love them!
You two together do The greatest Show on Earth live in Tampere!!!!!!!
True, theres a love affair between this band and the fans....band became even more complete when Floor joined vocalist
Last ride of the day , what a song . The wacken concert back in 2013 was massively epic . Great choice guys .
No band can compare! They are the best!
Dammit, I want to hug the both of you.
Nice!!! and welcome to NW
Of course she's on fire she's just got her contract before the show.
wish i had an angel next they are the best band in the world you guys are great love you reactions , as you dive into the Nightwish Ocean
You can hear bits of other album songs as part of the outro but instrumental, is so pretty
