Thanks for checking out this video! This is definitely a song that grows on you very quickly. We now can't get it out of our heads! What did you think about the reaction? What's your metal tomatoes rating? What should we react to next to keep Metal Maiden Mondays going?
React to Guns N’ Roses, Sweet child o’ mine and welcome to the jungle
@@GNRFan-jx9ux Great thought!
It's time to meet Alissa White-Gluz. Beginning of the end would be wise choice to start
How about the live version of Jinjer's "I Speak Astronomy"? Tatiana's an absolute killer on stage.
After this you need to check Epica - Consign to Oblivion live from Zenith Paris.
To see Simone at her best, watch Epica's Cry for the Moon. I think you'll be impressed.

Thanks!
Love tides of time too
My favorite epica songs are 'storm the sorrow' and solitary ground'. Especially the last one really shows off Simone's voice.
@@reaper1387 Nice! Mine are Quietus, Unleashed and Once Upon A Nightmare.
Fun fact, Simone was like 3 months pregnant here. Also they have been best friends since childhood
First part crazy... Second part awesome! That chemistry shows!
Wasn't the show also over three hours long?
Kaiyajin yup! simone was almost three hours in during this performance.
Floor and Simone didn't meet until Simone met Mark (they had a relationship in the past) and eventually became the singer of Epica. They were in their late teens then. But when they did this song they knew each other for a long time.
2 months*
Simone was in 3 months pregnant in this concert and her mic was a little bit louder. It was a 2 hour show. What a power, Simone.
Wow! 2-hour show while 3-month pregnant! That's crazy!
@@ChemicalReactions That's not that big of a deal. In fact, the beginning of the third month of a pregnancy is, when women reach their peak performance level, because the body is already prepared to provide for two, but the embryo is not so big, that you would notice the energy drain.
@@ChemicalReactions Floor was 7 month pregnant an still singing in December 2016, and yes, they are that crazily dedicated.
That is dutch women energy. Music is their life. I love nightwish and epica. Deep music with epic lyrics. Please react nightwish, you can react all songs from the wacken 2013. Its a perfect concert. Rock on and stay hard. Please react also blind guardian, vallhalla and the bard song. Live at wacken.
@@FryingPan76 Not that big a deal - "of" not needed.
React to the poet and the pendulum (live in Wembley) is a must
Stay tuned! Coming soon!
@@ChemicalReactions whit the lyric ;)
@@ChemicalReactions Yea, I would say use the live video with the lyrics. Maybe also read up a little bit about the meaning of the song, particularly what the situation was when Tuomas wrote it.
if you are doing a reaction ( and i bet you will) on "the poet and the pendulum", I stongly suggest you should do a backgroundcheck on the song before you listen to it, because i think you would feel that song more intensive when you know what it's about. Maybe you should use the video version with the lyrics shown (just a suggestion)
If you want to liste to the first Nightwish Singer Tarja Turunen i would suggest the "Phantom of the Opera" where she has an awesome duett with the bands bassist Marco Hietala
keep rocking
Greetings from Germany
@@ceb762001 yeah absolutely with lyrics
From what I heard, Simone was more than 3 months pregnant during this performance. That could have effected her intensity and breath control.
And did a full concert as well, because it was a Epica concert. :-)
(ohh, it was mentioned in the video)
That's crazy! At that time in a pregnancy the hormones are still trying to balance out.
And don´t forget it was a 3h concert
on top of that she was about two hours into the show! it's also worth mentioning that she didn't do as much head banging as floor did due to being pregnant. :-)
Floor is just better, and specially live. Seen them both enough times but it isn't a competition. Both are good singers.
Thanx sooo much !!! That show was definitely one of the best live shows I've ever attended !!! ....and please remember, Simone was very pregnant at the time of the show
That's crazy. No way being pregnant does not affect the voice... Being there must have been insane!
@@ChemicalReactions it was insane, to see a metal band performing with an orchestra LIVE in front of 4500 people. I even spotted me on the DVD of Retrospect. Just for 2 seconds, but hey, at least I'm visible.
Next, before the poet and the pendulum reaction do Nightwish Romanticide live in wacken 2013!!!!
Tight battle between Romanticide and Poet and the pendulum!
@@ChemicalReactions Romanticide has a better flow and brings another singer in the band to your attention. 😉
@@ChemicalReactions The main difference is that Romanticide is a lot of fun, while P&P is very dramatic and serious. I'd hold off with P&P due to its seriousness until later and explore their merrier stuff first, such as Romanticide from Wacken, Phantom of the opera with Tarja (a lot of fun), 7 days with the wolves at Barona arena, Shudder before the beautiful at Wembley. P&P and the Greatest show on earth are stellar but they are also serious.
One of my favorite performances of all time. Two beautiful women with beautiful voices
Epica - Essence of silence (official live video)....good song to get further into Epica!
Simone & Floor have been friends since high school (or around there), also Simone was 3 month pregant at the time. And can we just take a second appreciate how they are able to hit those notes (or just playing the instruments for that matter) just after doing that kind of headbanging. And another thing that most people don't usual think of is that when you have a orchestra (and choir) you cannot just improvise the way you otherwise would, its raising the bar. But Another great reaction.
Everything needs to synchronized perfectly.
Epica-cry for the moon live studio session. And Ne Obliviscaris-and plague flowers the kaleidoscope live in Denver.
I love that you guys do your research, so much info! Loved to hear your ideas of what it was going to be and you weren't far off. And you have more feedback then "wooow, awesome!!!". You actually dive into it, I like that about your videos.😁
I've seen Floor with After Forever and Nightwish live (Epica too, in their early days), it's amazing to see her development through the years. Truly a metal goddess. The same goes for Simone, when I saw her live in this video for the first time I was amazed at how powerful and fragile her voice sounds at times. Love it.
Anyway, great reaction.
Oh and I can't wait to see you react to Poet And The Pendulum!🖤
Edit: spelling
Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum at Wembley
Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth at Tampere
Nightwish - Weak Fantasy at Tampere
Nightwish - Ghost River at Wacken
Epica - Consign to Oblivion at Zenith
Epica - Kingdom of Heaven live
If you are doing metal bands with females you must do Arkona. Masha (vocalist and main composer) has great cleans and growls, you really should check them out. There are tons of great songs, though I'd personally recommend 'Sva', 'Rebionok bez imeni', 'V pogone za beloj tenyu' ( all 3 for versatility), 'Pokrovy Nebesnego Startsa' - this on is quite brutal, and 'Nebo Hmuroe, Tuchi Mrachnye' (5 minute version) - this one is much softer.
Another great reaction! When you react to Poet and the pendulum I suggest you use the live version with lyrics. Also get the back story so you understand it
The right background story not the internet/youtube myth story.
I am going to recommend:
Imperia - Fear Is An Illusion
Ancient Bards - Impious Dystopia,
Tarja - Supremacy (Live @ Hellfest 2016),
Nightwish in all glory, but put them aside for a while as they tend to cast a shadow over other equally amazing bands. The singer of Imperia was actually meant to be the singer of Epica, but she started her own band after she and Mark had disagreements. I personally consider Helena, the singer, the most versatile female singer in metal. Ancient Bards are what I will call "Fantasy Metal", epic chorus and cinematic elements that will take you on a ride as if you were literally standing in the background in a fantasy world, seeing the story uncover!
And Tarja...well, the mother of Symphonic Metal, the first singer of Nightwish and who undoubtedly has the current most successful solo career of any woman in metal.
Thumbs up for good parenting, you rwo make a great duo. Keep it up!
LOL!
React to Epica - Cry for the Moon estudio version
Both are great singer,, but yes I can't stop falling in love with Floor everytime i've seen her on the live stage.
She is crazy good!
"Like Constantine."
"I don't know who that is."
There's a teachable parenting moment there.
Simone was about 3 months pregnant during that performance and she was still great! Floor and Simone have been close friends for many years.
The next Symphonic Metal band to listen to would be "Within Temptation". They are the third of the big three Symphonic Metal bands.
Like many really good bands, Within Temptation is at their best live. Try their 15 year anniversary concert in Antwerp, Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/KuMB2pTsZP0/v-deo.html Good songs to start with would be: "Iron" starting at 5-40 - "Faster" staring at 16-30 - "Sinead" starting at 56-40. They had a full Orchestra on stage and it was an AMAZING concert.
Once again your video is just awesome! Watching the two of you getting completely sucked into the music is so cool!
WOW !!! never heard this before. blown away!!! thank you for doing this one
If you wanna discover more about Epica you could react to "The Essence of Silence" or "Unchain Utopia" live in Brussels.
Everytime fun to watch you!!
Blind Guardian- Bards Song would be awesome.
Stay safe, all luck to you.
Greetings from Bavaria
ĢŔÍMM FŔØŚŤ Now you all know
Thank you dear Bavarian friend!
Hey guys, i love your father - daugther dynamic.
Draconian - A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal my recommendation for metal maiden mondays.
Restrospect was a 10th years anniversary Epica show with Remenyi Ede Chamber Orchestra and Choir of Miskolc National Theatre /both hungarian/. Epic show and epic band! Just check more songs and enjoy an awesome journey! ;)
For a Dutch TV show, Floor Jansen & Henk Poor sang "The Phantom of the Opera".. you DEFINITELY want to check this one out...
Good sweet lort. I had chills this entire video. That was outstanding.
Two great singers from my home country the Netherlands.
The Gathering with singer Anneke van Giersbergen
Within temptation
All from the Netherlands and very well known worldwide
Love Anneke too!
I'm gonna keep recommending Ancient Bards. Impious Dystopia, we need it on Metal Maiden Monday's! Also nice vid, really liking your reaction videos. Also really cool to see your channel keep growing. I think when I first watched a video you had less than 1k subscribers, now you are getting close to 10k, very cool to see!
React to NIGHTWISH: the poet and the pendulum (live in Wembley) is a must. Please read synopsis first
When it comes to symphonic and progressive metal. You should try Ayreon who has collaborated with both Simone and Floor among many others. The Day the World Breaks Down is a good start.
Ayreon is amazing, but I think in order to really appreciate it at its fullest, you need to listen to the entire album
@@Sacrimony_ It`s concept- albums, so yes. But the song i mentioned is still a good start cuz it stands well on it`s own.
One thing you should know about the metal community is the camaraderie between bands. There's so much respect between heavy metal bands, especially between bands who perform the same style of metal. People outside of the metal community don't seem to realise this. It's never about who is better. It's "I think your band kick ass so I want to help you guys succeed"
Yes!!! Thank you for reacting to this song and giving your honest opinion about it. Also, thank you for pronouncing Floor Jansen the Dutch way :) And yes, Jans(s)en is the second most common last name in the Netherlands (#1 is De Vries).
As you continue, I would like to take you down the rabbithole that is Japanese metal, starting with Babymetal - Road of Resistance live (Metal) or Bandmaid - Play live (Rock) for the Metal Maiden Monday list. On your reaction to Tool I heard that Juliette started listening to metal on her ride to school to get energized so on any other day, I would love to see you react to one of my personal favorites: Crossfaith - Catastrophy. I suspect it's the only song the energizer bunny ever listens to.
As a Dutch person, I can not feel more proud. To see you both react so positively to my fellow Dutchies. I've been lucky to know both Floor and Mark since their early days in After Forever. I even was a member of their "Guest list" for their local performances two year in a row from 2000-2002/3 until Mark quit/had to leave due to artistic differences. Though Floor and Mark remained good friends, and there's absolutely no animosity between them... as you may have seen from this performance. Though them (Floor and Simone) being childhood friends is exaggerated, like I saw somewhere in the comments. Mark and Floor do know each other since they were 15/16 years old though.
Anyway, might I suggest Ayreon "The day the world breaks down" MV, or Ayreon "Everybody dies (Ayreon Universe)" Floor is a long time collaborator of Arjen Lucassen (the musical genius behind Ayreon) Also Simone appeared as a guest on an Ayreon album.
one small tip; Use earbuds so you can actually hear each other. ;)
You should also react to Ne Obliviscaris- of plague flowers the kaleidoscope. I would again recommend the live version.
I want studio version pleassssssssse :P
Ne Obliviscaris?? Isn't that something(quote) from the Campbell Clan? You know, from Scotland ;)
Simone was in fact pregnant here, and was on stage for hours at this point nearly. Simone is actually pretty incredible on stage, take it from someone who has seen her on stage 4 times. Songs like “Kingdom of Heaven” or “The Holographic Principle” are long epic songs like “Ghost Love Score” is, however Epica focuses on very different subject matter than Nightwish tends to.
Maybe, to get the full impact of Epica, you need a video where you just hear Simone not up against Floor. People tend to compare singers even when they’ve got different styles and sounds. And this particular performance was in 2013, Simone has vastly improved her live performance abilities since. 👍🏻
Keep it up, and thanks for bringing Epica into the mix!
Edit: Floor also did join Epica on stage a couple more times at this show, one in particular performance shows Simone’s vocal chops much better than this one. That would be “Stabat Mater Dolorosa”.
Simone was good even before, but her breathing was impacted because she was pregnant and her voice was weaker.
Immortall1408 that’s what I’m saying (in a sense). She was up there a long time, while pregnant. But despite that, she still held her own up there all night. It’s not an easy feat to sing on stage for 3 hours while being pregnant (and as far as I heard, she also wasn’t feeling too well). At the time, though, no one knew officially that she was pregnant, though...just suspected it...a lot. Some even were mean and were saying she’s “getting fat”.
I’ve seen Epica twice in 2010 (January and November), once in 2012, and once in late 2017. She’s always been good, and she keeps getting better. I just wish sometimes that people wouldn’t compare when these women never compare themselves or their counterparts to other singers. Floor is incredible and so is Simone.
@@imcherylynn I am not comparing them, far from it. I think she was quite glad to share this song with Floor because she was not feeling particularly well.
Immortall1408 I wasn’t saying you were the one comparing them.
Epica " unchain utopia"
Delain " Masters of destiny"
That was awesome! Simone Simons and Floor Jansen! Two of our Dutch Queens!
Great those two singing together. Thanks for reacting to this one.
Simone Simons & Floor United...The Netherlands Godesses.....nothing more to say .....Heart Melting.....they were never in the same Band,only for some Songs.....AFTER FOREVER was Floors only First Band. So next the other great Dutch Female Singers from : DELAIN/WITHIN TEMPTATION/THE GATHERING !!!!
Only first band? DO you not remember ReVamp? Floo'r second band before joining Nightwish.
@@alexojeda9048 Not forgotten.but it never had the same "Status" like AF.I answered to the statement,Simone and Floor were once together in the same Band.Floor was "only" in AF,not together with Simone i ment.
@@ingovonderluhe2174 You mean the statement made in the video about Floor and Mark Jansen. Yeah, I can that his statement could cause some confusion for some newbies but not Vets like us, right?
great reaction as always guys, truly talented ladies...
Please react to : Within Temptation - Paradise (What About Us?) ft. Tarja
,
That might be cool :)
Thanks!
Fred Barrut, that WILL be cool! 😊
Paradise is ok and all but their older stuff is far superior.
F1rst World NomaD, I don‘t know about far superior - it’s probably just more „stereotypically“ Within Temptation. I LOVE their stuff and don‘t really have a preference! 🤟
@@F1rstWorldNomaD True, but the duet between Sharon and Tarja IS what makes this song so great.
Kamelot - Elizabeth /I, II & III/ - live!
This was actually recorded in 2013. Their 10th anniversary show. With a 70 people counting orchestra and choir. I was at the show. Floor and Simone are very close friends.
Epica vs Attack on Titan is also quite cool.
Please try More EPICA they're really really good!!
Now proceed to Consign To Oblivion :)
Do Arch Enemy - Ravenous or Nemesis live in Japan next!
or wacken 2016 side by side ;) but Ravenous is a great choice...I would vote for Bloodstained Cross though
Next Maiden Metal Monday: Within Temptation - Faster (4:24 version, not the 3:33 version)
The 2013 Isle Of Man TT race used that song in their video here on youtube, and it has something like 66 million views, so definitely Within Temptation's most well-known song.
Great video as always guys!
I highly recommend you keep listening Epica, they are one of the best symphonic metal bands ever!
You should know that Simone Simons was 3 months pregnant in this show and that was not her full singing potential at all!! I saw them live 3 times and Simone was absolutely amazing!!
Sadly, Floor was almost unknown before joining Nightwish, and Epica was a big window to the world for her.
Greetings from Uruguay!! and keep making this videos! You are great!!
Blind Guardian - Valhalla (Imaginations Through the Looking Glass)
Get some Ghost going on. I recommend Square Hammer and Cirice.
Gotta love Swedish Metal Bands.
Definitely want to start exploring the Swedish scene!
Ghost would be cool. Hard to pick a song from them, I like so many of them.
More like a classic hard rock band ;)
But Yeah.. Ghost are pretty cool :)
@@ChemicalReactions If you're checking out Swedish metal bands, i'd suggest Avatar. For a heavier side, Amon Amarth.
Continuing the theme of Nightwish guest stars, you guys could always react to DELAIN "Nothing Left" (Live) or "The Gathering," (Masters of Rock 2017) featuring bassist Marco Hietala.
Burning Witches - Wings Of Steel
This is the first video released on June 14 featuring new lead singer Laura Guldemond taking over for Seraina Telli who left the band just prior to the Sweden Rock Festival to focus on her other band Dead Venus. They're an all-female power metal band with an 80s Judas Priest/Warlock vibe.
Yes. They r that epic.
We are blessed.
Still to go: Powerwolf, Avantasia, Blind Guardian
YES, POWERWOLF!!!
@@sicksimeonsamurai8897 saw them live on saturday, amazing as always :D
They are Amazing live. I will see them in January. Cant wait!!!
@@sicksimeonsamurai8897 i probably gonna see them again in december but still have to get them tickets though
haha. Their reactions to Powerwolf's lyrics ought to be something. Certain songs in particular ^^
Their keyboardist is the most hyped up dude I've seen on a stage short of Rammstein's performances. Or perhaps Bruce Dickinson.
He was when I saw them at Getaway Rock in Gävle, Sweden in 2014 anyway
Try Epica - Chasing the dragon live Retrospect!!!!
Still to go: Delain, Within Temptation, Evanescence and Anneke van Giersbergen
And the Gathering
@@hendrikvandenberkmortel6702 that's a good choice to show the beautiful voice of Anneke van Giersbergen
I would suggest Sharon Adel's duet with Anneke at Black Symphony, 2008. Very awesome female duet.
Everyone forgets Theater of Tragedy.
@@hendrikvandenberkmortel6702 Yup. Gathering (fronted by Anneke) at Pinkpop '96 or '97 - Strange Machines
Metal Maiden Mondays, Battle Beast - Black Ninja. Awesome reaction, and my rating for this Epica song 77.
U guys should definitely do Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague flowers the kaleidoscope (live in Colorado)
Great channel btw keep it up! :) subbed
I like this reaction style, where we have father and daughter. Sort of like get reaction from different generations at the same time and analyze them together. subbed :)
I saw Epica in a smaller club a couple of years ago and they were great. I wish Floor was there too.
I can tell she was really into this one - this is the most bright eyed I have seen you
Hi guys and greeting from Finland! Thank you for reactions. You should react also Epicas Cry for the moon. Just love it.
Within Temptation does a song called Paradise of their Hydra album that has Tarja Turunan as guest vocals. Tarja was Nightwish's first vocalist.
You have to react to the father's of symphonic metal THERION
Yes, Typhon or Blood of Kingu!
OMG thank you I could not remember the name of this band and it has been bugging me for months I have been searching everything on UA-cam to find it lol
Greetings from Germany and a big chapeau for the young lady, you are very open minded and have a huge background knowledge
really think you need to try " ARCH ENEMY - The World Is Yours "
Absolutely!
I don't think they are ready for any AE< even Alissa is a bit advanced... :) Also Angelas Under Black Flags we March! :) Im thinking any Arch Enemy would knock em for a loop... ESP World is Yours or Eagle Flies Alone. :)
this concert was given for the anniversary for epica (i donnow how long they are around), the whole show was 3 hours long, only for that concert they've done it with a symphonic orchestra and choir, also what has been said simone was singing already 1hour+, might be the reason for the flaws and what not, i love this song, the 2 compare greatly in soundranges, keep up the good work. love it so far.

@@ChemicalReactions Happy to help! :)
The next metal maiden can be found Within Temptations.
they are amazing together
When talking power and technique no one can match Floor.
However when hitting pure angelic note no one can hold a candle to Sharon den Adel.
You *need* to check out *Within Temptation* - Angels/Memories
...
Thats said, Floor is still queen as an overall vocalist.
We will definitely have to get to them! Thanks!
Hello guys!
Definitly check -- PARADISE (What about us?) -- from Within Temptation, their singer is Sharon den Adel, guess what, another extremly talented female, dutch singer. Also the song is featuring TARJA, NIGHTWISH's first singer, who many fans say was the BEST. I reccomend the official song, not a live version, but those are good too.
React Nightwish Dark Chest Of Wonders Live Wacken 2013.
React to Wintersun - Sons of winter & stars (sonic pump studios live)
It's Xena and Gabrielle!
Warrior princesses!!! LOL!
If you liked this one, please check out "Stabat Mater dolorosa". It's from the same concert, I think. No Metal though but amazing opera voices from Simone and Floor!
Simone was singing for 2 hours already before this song and was 2.5 months pregnant. Take that into your consideration when you compare their performance. She did amazingly there they are both out of this world
i cant hear you. I said I CANT..... ohh ya.lol love it guys!
Yes, Jansen is a pretty popular name. It just means: son of Jan (Jan-son). :-)
Jan is Dutch for John, which I think is short for Johannes.
And what about the two s version like Coen?
@@ChemicalReactions just a different writing style, kind of like: "John's son"
I think you are ready for Epica - Consign to Oblivion (live at Zenith); it is epic.
React to Nightwish "Greatest Show on Earth" live from tamperé and Orden Ogan "Gunman"
+1 for "Gunman"
A great After Forever song is "Energize Me." Floor's voice is killer as always.
Also with Metal Maidens got to have Doro Pesch and Kittie reacted to, Nita Strauss as well
Thanks!
I was there, almost in front was a great performance!
for Epica check out Consign to Oblivian, The Divine Conspiracy, Cry for the Moon, Chasing The Dragon, and Kingdom of Heaven.
angra - nothing to say
R.I.P. Andre Matos 1971-2019
😢
Yeah, any song from the Holy Land album is awesome, but Nothing to Say has such a catchy riff...
Thank you for this reaction! You are amazing! Love you
Simonsgasm + floorgasm = SUPER FREAK INSANE
As a BIG nightwish fan i think Simone (Epica) held her own. Do not under estimate her she might be even better. just listen to some more nightwish songs and epica songs. before you draw your conclusions :)
Good comment! I also think Dad was too quick to place Simone a step below Floor.
Since you've done Epica, you have to do Kamelot now. Epica is named after a Kamelot Album. III ways to Epica would be a great song to tie them both together.
No The Haunting w/Simone off of Cold Winter's Night live!
@@alexojeda9048 That's a great choice as well :)
Here are a few more bands - songs for Metal Maiden Mondays:
Visions of Atlantis - The Deep & The Dark
Delain - Masters of Destiny
Within Temptation - Raise Your Banner
Raven Black - Dollhouse
Burning Witches - Hexenhammer
"Jansen" or "Janssen" is as common a name in the Netherlands as "Smith" is in the USA. This particular concert is a 10 year anniversary concert called 'Retrospect' and is about 3 hours long, give or take. For this occasion Epica was accompanied by an orchestra and choir from Hungary. Simone is not headbanging very much as she was just pregnant at the time. This song was not written as a duet but lends itself for it very well. Simone and Floor are longtime friends from the time Floor was still in After Forever. When Mark Jansen left After Forever he founded Epica. Since he already knew Simone Simons from the After Forever Forum, he asked her to be the lead vocalist. This song was performed after about 2 hours into the show, so signs of fatigue are quite normal, especially given the state Simone was in. Earlier in the show Simone did another duet with Floor Jansen called 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa', a classical piece by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. Absolutely beautifully performed. I really recommend you to react to that one, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!
Girly.. the band's name is Epica, and their singer is Simone Mairia Joanna Simons, Floor Jansen was invited to sing along with her and her band.
I think Simmone has a higher octave range. I love them both though, they're amazing!
Next you should listen to Liliac, the family band from Romania, they're from 11-20 years old and the singer (Melody) is 17 years old.
Check out the other Epica Songs and your put up to at least 90 % for sure ;)
Will do!
