Complete mindblow!!! The Nightwish Army is no joke! You folks come out in such mass numbers to support your beloved band and it is nothing but awe inspiring!
While this may be small beans to some content creators, the Nightwish Army has provided us our first video to break the 10K views!!! We are completely humbled and full of gratitude.
As a metalhead myself, I knew of Nightwish. Having only touched the tip of the symphonic metal iceberg, I hadn't spent much time listening to them. So, for me, this was my first real, true, quality taste with intentional focus spent on the band and song. Not just background music. While I was impressed with the band and, more specifically, Floor's amazing vocals, I am way more impressed by the support you all show your beloved. Wow, simply, WOW!
On behalf of B and I, Thank you for your time and energy!!! - Ddubs
This video of yours just showed in my feed so I am new to the channel. Thank you for sharing your reaction with us.
I'm 76. I've heard live everyone from Queen, The Who, Pink Floyd, down to Jerry Lee Lewis, ZZ Top, and BB King. Nightwish is the best band I've ever heard.
Hello Ddubs N BStar ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: czcams.com/users/gbardaccommunity
It sounds like you are in fact one of those "hard core" fans! -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835 Hi BStar. Sorry for using the backup account to answer you, but my main account is temporarily blocked by YT. I assume that someone bothered to report me, because I leave this informative message to all the new Reactors at Nightwish.
I'm glad that I met another Christian here, although you may look at me with suspicion, since I was baptized Orthodox. As you looked suspiciously at the bull's head, which is the symbol of the festival in Wacken, Germany, a traditional cattle breeding area.
"Hard-core fan", sounds very drastic. I personally prefer the term "die-hard fan", because the positive energy of Nightwish music helped me years ago to overcome a state of depression caused by a set of negative events that suddenly happened in my life. I think that God put them in my way at the right time :) like an anchor with which to cling to Life, me not being a metalhead. Here, you challenged me to speak to you in this Christian terminology. If you can believe it, I listened to Enya, Vangelis, Mike Oldfield and Yes for years. And when Enya's mashup with Prodigy appeared, I emotionally perceived it as blasphemy. A guilty pleasure, to listen to something like this..
:)))
This is definitely live! A musician and CZcams reactor called Wings Of Pegasus did an analysis with pitch wave analysis software and confirmed that there was no post production or auto tune used. Floor really is this good and so is the rest of the band! Enjoyed your reaction. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
Highly recommend that Wings of Pegasus reaction to this...Very insightful commentary...
Thanks to Wings Of Pegasus(EPIC name!!!)for his work on Nightwish. Hopefully this analysis puts to bed any accusations of fraud by the band.
I will not say anything concerning Floor because it is unthinkable anyone would believe she EVER does any auto tune.
Or: there is a decade full of lower quality smart phone live videos out there and Floor still sounds awesome there. :)
This Nightwish's concert have post-production of master and a very good mix. Is "real-live" but not crude sound.
That's good to know! Thanks -BStar
This is truly live. Floor and Nightwish are the consummate professionals. They even analyzed Floors voice in this very song for a hint of “Auto-Tune” and they found nothing and were blown away by her voice. All the backing track for Nightwish songs are pre-recorded and composed between Tuomas the keyboard player and the London Philharmonic Orchestra
Great reaction guys. ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, London Philharmonic Orchestra AND several British choirs, of course !
Nightwish with Floor is best served live....period! :) Every song is different and I love them.
I concur!
There are so many reasons to watch Nightwish live. The onstage shenanigans of guitarist Emppu, the showmanship of the drummer Jukka (so fun to watch), Marko the bassist is badass and he sings incredible too, Tuomas Holopainen the composer, keyboardist and soul of Nightwish, always joyful crowds with incredible energy and ofcourse Floor who has a stage presence and aura that is so captivating and a voice that could heal the most broken person. I know what you mean about listening to a bands music as it is recorded and for it to stand on it´s own.. One of my favourite bands TOOL, I must listen to with my eyes closed with headphones on. Well, I must say my experience with Nightwish has been really special and I absolutely love the live concerts. For me, they are more than music, they are a force of nature and have given my life so much joy. A big part of that is hearing, seeing and experiencing the magic when they go on stage. Thanks so much for your reaction :D
Marko left the band last year, Jukka left the band in 2019..
@@peterang6912 Yes, I assume all Nightwish fans are aware of that. Most of the live footage new reactors will initially come across in future reactions will have Marko and quite some with Jukka too.
I'm glad to know you can appreciate all of those things. I did not get ANY of that from my watch. I felt it was mostly showing the singer like 80% of the time. -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835 I think you will see what I mean the more you get to know them. They are fun to watch on stage :D
@@laudatosiadastra1218 only thing what is going on is Emppu and Floor... there is even a video with all the endings of GLS on YT where you see the start about the ending and the conection Floor and Emppu have..
What you get from Nightwish's live concert videos is their connection to their audience and their stage presence. The music can stand on it's own, but they are one of the top live bands in the world and unlike so many bands, you don't lose music quality by hearing them live.
The best reason for watching Nightwish videos is that you get to see how Floor adds emotions to the songs. Also, the interactions between the band members and with the crowd is very entertaining. This song is about an unrequited love. 😊🤘
The "horns" hand symbol was popularized in rock/metal by Ronnie James Dio, who said his Grandmother would use it when he was little as a means of warding off the "evil eye".
I am aware of this famous clip from Metal Evolution....why would making your hand into a symbol or into the figuration of the devil's horns actually ward off anything evil? I see it as MUCH more likely to call forth something evil. The occultists LOVE signs and symbols and doing them with their hands. -BStar .
@@ddubsnbstar835 as a non-superstitious person I couldn't really say. I don't believe in silly archaic things like angels, demons, ghosts etc. I only believe in what can be objectively demonstrated and tested. To me, faith is self-deception. Faith is the excuse people give when they have no real evidence for the things they claim or believe.
@@ddubsnbstar835 Because religion is also tied into culture and the sign of the horns actually has a variety of meanings and uses in various cultures. Your comment sounds a bit dismissive. Easy enough to find information if you are truly interested to learn more about things you do not understand (or wouldn't do yourself).
Pinch Harmonics are what you hear from the guitar at the end. There are few groups that really get it right live. This band exudes so much during their live performances, but Floor emotes like no other. Thank you for the reaction and be open minded to the live experience Nightwish is like no other band in this regard and they are far more than just sonic.
Nightwish Army (UK) reporting in
This was a great reaction, thank you 😊
This is live! You can see a CZcams video where 'The Wings of Pegasus Project' played this through some software to prove that there was no remixing or changing of Floor's vocals
Also, the burning cattle head is the Wacken symbol because the festival is held in the village of Wacken (in northern Germany) on land where they normally graze cattle, there is no demonic reason for it 😬
Speaking of demonic, the 🤘symbol was a sign traditionally made to ward off evil, not praise the devil
Of course, Floor sings live because she can. Floor can also growl your soul out. Deep notes, high notes, growling, this woman can everything she wants and she do that live.
You only listen to studio versions and probably have your favorites there, but if you really listen to these singers live, then you get the big horror. Then you will find that really every idiot who can do absolutely nothing can sing.
Of course, the lyrics are understandable, you just have to have a sense of poetry. That's winged language. Unlike others, the lyrics of Nightwish are sophisticated. You have to strain your brain a bit. This is real art in the field of music.
For me the life performances are so mutch better tan the studio recorded, but that is my opinion, i do love this band so much.
I think their live performances are the best to experience the music. If you like a less heavy performance, Floor and Troy did two songs acoustic on Planet Rock and those are beautiful.
How's the Heart is beautiful.
Search for the acoustic version, just Floor and Troy.
That English is not the first language for Tuomas is true, but not the main reason. He is a poet, that is where the uncommon imagery is coming from. Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon are native speakers but their lyrics will also more convey feelings rather than simple meaning.
Thank you, I was thinking the same, as she started to complain about it. I am wondering, if she knows Finish, Dutch (because of Floor) or German (because of me), as we know this language. Sure, even I make mistakes in grammar and spelling, but I want to know, how she would do in those languages and Tuomas is even writing poetry in it. Thanks again and enjoy your day.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the symphonic elements are not just coming from the keyboard (and at this particular 82000-person festival where Nightwish was the headlining act, Tuomas is using 3 keyboards), but Nightwish has on retainer the London Sessions/London Philharmonic Orchestra for all of their orchestrated parts. In fact, Pip Williams (of Star Wars fame) conducts the orchestra is needed. Yes, Nightwish goes all out with their work, and it shows.
Also, yes, this is live. Nothing recorded over the live performance, but very well mixed by Nightwish's crew. To prove that this isn't a fluke, the other shows Nightwish has done has sounded just as good, if not better. Welcome down this rabbit hole; Like with Band-Maid (And I'll throw LoveBites on that list), you're going to enjoy it!
Some bands are just better live; this is one of those. This band is extremely tight and it doesn't hurt to have the finest female vocalist on the planet. I'm trying to be objective here because this is not really my style of music (sorry Nightwish Army) and not something I'd normally listen to. But I'd go to see them live; they're that good!
I've missed every one of their American shows. 😭😭😭I hope they come back again(Texas or anywhere SW USA I will not miss them again).
Like most of the comments Live is the way to with Nightwish, but you should go for the songs "Music" or "Shoemaker" from their latest album, they are lyric videos and amazing music experience.
Thank you. I really hope they are the sonic experience we are looking for -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835 Well there's a lot of "ear candy" on their latest album Human.:||:Nature, so enjoy! All song except one is Official Lyrics Videos, but! There are always something behind the visuals ;)
@@ddubsnbstar835 NW is one of those rare bands that are actually better Live
No worries. Nightish will continue to blow your mind! I speak from experience.
Hello, there! Thank you for giving Nightwish a shot. I understand the reasons you want to check out a studio song. That being said, Nightwish is phenomenal live. I had the pleasure of seeing them earlier this year in Los Angeles, and yes, they really do sound that good. :) I think one of the reasons this song is recommended live is because the original singer for GLS is not Floor Jansen, but Tarja Turunen(who is also very good, but also very different). If you want to check out a recorded track with Floor, I would suggest "How's the Heart?" from their most recent album Human Nature.
Greetings and welcome to Nightwish and symphonic metal.
First thing, if you really want to hear a track from an album, I recommend "Weak Fantasy", but make no mistake, as Floor is their 3rd vocalist, you will find that any live performance is no different from the studio recording featuring her on vocals. They are THAT good! Here's the link, music only.
czcams.com/video/AmuqbwIOoac/video.html
The song I recommended comes from her debut album with Nightwish, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" released in April 2015. They are currently touring in support of her second album, "Human :II: Nature".
Floor replaced Anette Olzon on October 1st 2012 as the band was in the middle of touring and began the US leg of the tour.
Anette replaced the original singer, Tarja Turunen in 2007 who was fired in 2005.
Everything in a Nightwish concert is performed live with the exception of the orchestral tracks which are prerecorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Angel Studios, London.
The choirs are also prerecorded by London's The Metro Voices and the young musicians Children's Choir.
Nightwish is an experience best enjoyed "live".
I hope you consider the rest of your journey that way.
This performance is not the template for the rest of your experience as all songs are different and have many treats in store.
Thank you so much for the video, reaction and comments.
Stay safe and stay blessed.
😊❤️🤘🤘
Welcome to glorious world if Symphonic Metal. If you decide to listen to a studio version be very careful. There have been three lead singers with very different styles so as an example the studio version of this song was recorded with their first singer Tarja and the arrangement, especially the ending is very different. Keyboard stand is a model of the Sibilius (famous Finnish composer) monument in Finland. Tuomas's lyrics are written in a very poetic style so they aren't going to read like regular prose or speech. For me this makes the lyrics deeper and more personal as I can bring my own interpretation of them. Tuomas rarely explains his lyrics as he wants the listener to find their own meaning. In this case I think this song is about an unknown love. The singer is in love with a person who doesn't know about this person's love for them. Relive the old sin is about the loss of innocence, about a love that has become obsessive. Forgive the adoring beast is again the singer who adores their secret love in an unhealthy way asking for forgiveness for their obsession. If you must do a studio recording then I would recommend Shoemaker or How's the Heart from their most recent album, Human Nature. There are lyric videos that are beautiful but not distracting from the music.
Thank you for explaining some of those lyrics we had questions about. -BStar
Floor Jansen is just over 6ft tall, Dutch, pitch perfect and can sing anything. Worth visiting her CZcams channel. The studio version has the first singer, Tarja, on it. She is very operatic. Floor was only with Nightwish ten months at this concert. Tuomas, keyboards, writes virtually all the music and lyrics and his English is better than at 80% of natural English speakers. But it does mean that his lyrics are not simple. As someone from the UK, I find his writing impressive. The reason everyone suggests live is because first seven albums do not have Floor as the lead singer.
The Nightwish adagium is that "live is always better". It also applies to Floor's former bands After Forever and ReVamp and to her solo work which is another rabbit hole you'll dig. It's just another way of saying that you want to see Floor perform and breathe life into whatever music she touches (or even the phone book for that matter..). She's always been the one. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
Hi Ddubs N BStar. LOL, I'm pretty sure God will forgive you for almost making the bull symbol. New Nightwish Army subscriber here. Thank you for reacting to our beloved Nightwish and our 6'1" Valkerie queen, Floor Jansen (Yan-sen). Nightwish is one of those rare bands who are better live than in studio... it's as if they feed off the audience's energy. They do not autotune anything. Carol, my wife of 41 years, and I had the great pleasure of traveling from Phoenix to see them perform at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on May 18th and it was the best concert I have ever seen. As you will discover from this and other live Nightwish performances, Floor has a stage presence that is awesome to behold. I highly recommend that you read Gabriel Bardac's lengthy comment and check out the links in his first self-reply to other fantastic Nightwish live performances. Thank you again for checking Nightwish out.
They thing you call ”bull symbol” is originaly called the maloik and it was used to give protection if someone was giving you the evil eye.
Phewf! The last thing I want to accidentally do is summon a deamon! ;) -BStar
Hello Ddubs N BStar.
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.
Hello from Nightwish Army Brasil. Do you want more songs? Gabriel's list will appear shortly.
Nightwish always have to be live.
Floor is DUTCH. Her husband is a SWEDE .. the band is FINNISH except for Troy who is a Brit
And at this video, they are giving there concert in Germany (I am from Austria). That's what I call international. And I wonder, how good that lady is in any of these European languages. 😉
Hi Ddubs and BStar.....just a little info for you. All the songs on the set list of the Waken 2013 concert were written for the two previous singers of Nightwish. So if you go back to the studio versions.......they will sound a lot different.
Tuomas - the guy on the keyboards writes most of the songs and lyrics for this band. He is from Finland....Floor is from Holland. Enjoy the rabbit hole. Nightwish is one of those rare bands that actually sound better live than studio and their studio sounds amazing.
It's hard for me to imagine a male singer!!! I wonder how this song differs with the male vocalist. We will defo have to check that out! -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835 Their previous singers were (obviously) women too.
@@erwinmulder1338 BStar's reading comprehension's pretty poor for a native speaker, lol! Must be Jacqui's bad English ;)
@@ddubsnbstar835 the true tell of a band,musician and especially a vocalist is in their Live performances
Those goosebumps you got from hearing Floor sing is what we call "having a Floorgasm". Greatest female vocalist ever. (Though in my humble opinion, I've always felt their first lead singer Tarja has a slight edge in the operatic/classical department. But Floor's classical style is still phenomenal, plus her versatility with other styles I think gives her the overall advantage).
Nightwish a true force of nature.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are several good reason for using live versions for nightwish songs. The songs evolve during their tours. GLS is a prime example. Floor sings in this performance phrases different from when she started, 10 months before. The end is even entirely different from the studio version. In the studio you can do more technically, but you are not as familiar with the song yet. Not so much a problem if it has a simple song structure with one musical idea, but this is written by Tuomas and almost all other band members are accomplished songwriters themselves. they will add during recording, but continue to do so during touring. Nightwish is one of the few bands whose studio albums would be better if they recorded them after touring. Even if you listen only to the music, use an official live recording for the latest version in the evolution. And that is also true for Tarja.
Second point is, at least with Floor, that she is telling the songs with her face and whole body. She may not jump around on stage (with exceptions like 'I want my tears back' in Buenos Aires), she feels the song and lets you do so too. You are not watching them for the choreography to make up for the poor quality of the music, like with some other performers.
Also, many of the Floor reinterpretations of songs written for one of the previous singers are simply not available in studio versions by her.
Those "pipes" only hide two organs and a piano they have no other function
Yes the interlude track is from the London Symphony Orchestra. Nightwish's Founding Member Tuomas Holopainen works closely with the LSO.
Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA. This 3rd and current female lead singer Floor Jansen doesn't sing the bulk of the band's catalog on albums. She's been since 2013. This band is one of the best live performances, globally. .05% of listeners prefer studio. Maybe Gabriel can suggest something. See below he leaves you a band bio and list of links to best performances.
You were so right within your intro: Like you and Floor later said:"This DVD is gonna kick-ass!". And the rest is history... 😁😎
The only pre recorded stuff Nightwish has to use is the Orchestra as you could imagine would be expensive to cart around an Orchestra and also Floor and a choir as backing vocals is also used but experts have tested them with special equipment and found they are very much a live band. Welcome to Nightwish.
Thanks "Ddubs N BStar" from Germany for the good music an d Nightwish with singer Floor Jansen! 2013 W:O:A= Wacken open Air with 82.000 Metalfans and 2022 sold total out. Wacken near Hamburg/Germany. One of the best concerte all time!
If you listen carefully, you can notice that there is a backing track (symphony orchestra and choir) playing in the background throughout the song. The band plays and sings exactly in the same rhythm.
I think the point people want to make is less "you have to watch them you need the visuals" and more "their live performances are so good, you have to listen to them live, especially this part of their catalog, where Floor is singing songs recorded in the studio with previous singers.
The experience of the SOUND is so much better on these live performances; people don't want you, for example, to listen to the studio version of "Storytime" and think that's as good as it gets, because it's so much better live with Floor than it was in the studio with Anette.
My fall is falling in love. I will be falling in love with you.
The lyrics in this are meant to be empirical, secondary to the experience of the flow of this song. Tuomas did that on purpose; it's not the norm for his lyrics. But it works here.
It's lyrically a very impressionistic piece of poetry.
For the Christian side, you should know that the "horns" have absolutely nothing to do with "the devil," quite the opposite.
The hand sign was popularized by Ronnie James Dio, whose Italian Grandmother used to use it to ward OFF evil.
I think your reading to much religion into this, not all metal is about devil worship and such
The phrasing, and sometimes, it seems, even the pronunciation of the words varies from what I know as, what? American vernacular English, I guess? But that is a big part of the appeal here, primarily, I think, just because it's different...
We are here...We are everywhere...Nightwish Army
Good morning, wacken is a tiny, tiny, very tiny village in the north of germany. Many moons ago some boys had one wish: listening to their music. And from that, the biggest metalfestival on earth developed. The venue normally is a large cow pasture. There you have the horns and skull. Greetings from Germany🤗 and parkinson's sucks⚘ and EMPPU RULES 😎🤘
There's some true MTV to you. Greetings from Finland! ⛄👍
The Bull horns are the symbol of the Wacken Open Air Festival. The area around the festival was or is used to raise cattle. The “Devil Horns” were used by Ronnie James Dio, who got it from his mother. The are said to keep evil away.
About the lyrics. It’s not the fact that Tuomas isn’t a native speaker, the fact is: he is a poet.
❤
About the "organ" it is decoration to hide his triple Korg keyboards. Nightwish is finnish
Tuomas the keyboard Player once said it was a Tribute to the Finnish violist and composer Jan Sibelius and to his monument in the finnish capital Helsinki, 600+ decorated steel pipes .
czcams.com/video/UbWb-zy85cc/video.html
Knowing Tuomas, there is always a meaning behind everything.
Welcome into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish. Although Nightwish is Finnish, their 3rd female vocalist Floor Jansen (pronounce: Yahn-Sen) is Dutch but living in Sweden with her Swedish husband and daughter.
Listen next to a song from their latest studio album: Human in Nature: “Shoemaker” czcams.com/video/Rjp_DfvJimg/video.html
They prerecord it? Are you serious? IT IS LIVE. I've seen them many times. One of the best live bands ever. And btw no pitch correction, no autotunes with Floor ;D. YES they are as good as you can hear it. Enjoy ;D
This past decade I've found myself gravitating toward live performances rather than albums or music videos because I find them more organic although a band like PostModern Jukebox does music in a studio setting that captures the feel of "live" by recording their videos using one fixed camera and in one take. But no audience which in this video the crowd has a lot of input in the experience one has of the performance. Which leads into is it "live" or pre-recorded which I'm pretty sure you recognized both here. But the vocals here are live. It's just that Floor is a master of her instrument as I'm sure you'll find out if you explore her solo projects (I'll as a follow-up post linking some ).
This particular song, lyrically, even with cc on has never been clear to me, so I tend to treat her vocal here as just another instrument. Were I to pursue just an aural experience, and from this concert, would be Ever Dream. Do what you must to turn off the visuals because, again, you cannot experience an organic performance from a studio recording.
One aspect of your studio set-up is your tennis course head movement which I found a distraction and confusing. Care to illuminate on what was going on? I did enjoy your thoughtful commentary. Well done.
I don't consider myself a Nightwish fan like the majority of the folks you'll find here. I'm really a fan of Floor's and her solo projects, which, after seeing her solo performances from her appearance on the Dutch tv show Beste' Zangers solidified my fandom of Floor and introduced me to Nightwish. So, to promote Floor I'm going to take the liberty of posting a selected playlist of live performances that I consider the most enjoyable for me from her catalog of solo projects.

Hey Bert! thanks for such a well thought out reply. The 'tennis court' head movements were due to having two monitors, opposite sides of course to create intentional difficulty (lol) one with the video playing and the other with the lyrics. So what you see is us attempting to enjoy the live performance while also following along with the lyrics on a separate machine. --Ddubs
@@ddubsnbstar835 Allow me to spoil your day - czcams.com/video/ruMg589OTmM/video.html 😁
Glad you decided to react to this band..Welcome to Symphonic Metal.this is with their 3rd singer Floor Jansen,a 6’1” Dutch vocal beast who’s had classical training and been with the band since 2012.They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,hope you decide to dip your toe into some more.
If you decide to react to some more NightWish then Gabriel’s list is the best option to choose from as all his links have all great audio quality and are from the best concerts performance wise😊👍
I’m 10 minutes in and just wondering what you are looking at over to your left? It’s like watching 2 people watching a tennis game. You’re going to hear a lot of people tell you to stay with the live versions for good reason. If you go into this rabbit hole with the bias that the “sonic experience” is best then you will be missing out on a much bigger experience than you realize at this point in your Nightwish journey. That strategy may work well for you & your enjoyment of other bands & I would still encourage you to do that with Nightwish for your 2nd time listening to the song. Nightwish fans for the most part want to watch you react to the audio & the video of the live performances. Please consider their advice as it has merit.
Nightwish is amazing live band. If you want check out album versions recommend something with current Singer Floor Jansen , maybe from newest album 2020 Human :II: Nature opening track Music, or Shoemaker or Pan. If you want something very soft take song Procession. All this songs have official lyric videos.
You guys are Canadian so there wouldn't be any reason to react to Rush live you wouldn't get anything more out of it than watching The Master on the drums? I think one of you completely missed the mark and missed the entire point of reacting to this live........ And if I was watching this with the sound down I would have thought that one of you was watching commercials until the regular show came back on......lol
To each his or her own but I completely disagree with you guys about the whole live versus studio...... I would rather have the entire experience and one other thing I was watching and the woman was clearly reading lyrics and trying to listen at the same time so are you trying to tell me that that doesn't take away from you know concentrating on the video itself? I don't know I'm a little thrown off by some of the comments here I mean I've probably seen close to 500 reactions to this song and some of the comments that I've heard from you too are just I've never heard them from anyone else but hey like I said to each his or her own......
High hundreds...this Wacken 2013 show is a masterpiece of live recording and performance...this was song 13 of 15. The experience live is sonically, a full body headphones situation. Guessing not much concert going. You're missing out!
As a fellow 🇨🇦 in Edmonton AB I to grew up watching Much Music taking in all the cool music of it’s time. The music of the recent past has grown leaps and bounds. Much of it is crap to say the least….. Nightwish wasn’t on my radar until 2019 for me. After the first viewing of this song with the current lead singer, it was a ❤ for the band. Yes the music is hugely epic yet feels so deep in sound. Like there’s 20 members behind the singer. My whole take to band and their music is the fact of their ❤ to play their music on stage and how tight they are together. Plus they enjoy each other while performing for the full set. Not many live today can and draw you in like that. And lastly the emotions that each song brings out of you. How each song is constructed is so different to the next is like no other band. You ❤ this style of music or you don’t. Great reaction to another genre of metal music that we hadn’t grown up to hear til now. I do hope you dive deeper into this band. You definitely won’t be disappointed with the journey!
Hello fellow Cannuk! Kids these days may never "get" Much Music -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835 no they won't! What part the country do you reside in?
Good reaction! You’ve seen/heard nothing yet! The Nightwish army will soon be on you! Wait for the rush! By the way, ‘this was live very live. Always watch Nightwish live. 🏴
I didn’t get very far into this video as you both seemed to hate the idea of watching it even before you started it…and then once it started the woman’s cynical comments about it wasn’t really live and “it’s just a guy up there…” stuff…if you didn’t want to watch it, maybe you shouldn’t have.
I concur!
I concur. Stopped after a few mins myself
I thought her comments about Tuomas being a non-native speaker as an excuse for her not understanding GLS's lyrics were pretty hilarious ;)
@@BrendonChase_2015 That must have been after I stopped watching, but does not surprise me, given the nature of the other songs to which they’ve reacted. I also find it hilarious that this video, in which they were so negative, has like 10 times as many views as most of their other videos, in just a couple of days. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot…
I feel like this would be better without the lady.
Nightwish has used backing tracks for nearly 20 years, and make no secret of it.... it is the only way they can afford to bring the London Philharmonic on the road with them... and the children's choir.
If you dig into their stage show (check out their stage setup in a "Gear Gods" video on YT... just search "Gear Gods Nightwish")
you will learn that their instruments (after basic pedalboard/pre-amp processing) is passed into a ProTools system that does further tweaks with reverb/echo/delay, then passes that sound to the FOH board before the PA. As I'm sure you know, ProTools is first and foremost, a studio performance-capture system, so it is likely that some of the sound you here is captured in ProTools, and then mixed with the PA/audience sounds.
Their performance is not pre-recorded. ProTools does provide their click-track (to keep everyone in sync via in-ears, a common practice for decades) as well as some of the orchestration/choir voicings (some of both are also sampled into Tuomas' Korg so he is playing many of the stabs and pads himself). Protools also drives much of the pyro and light system (midi is a marvelous thing) keeping it in sync as well (a huge safety improvement over the completely manually-run pyro shows).
I would STRONGLY suggest you WATCH the live shows (stay away from studio albums until you figure out the sequence of singers/albums/live content) Give yourself a chance to experience the musical performance. Even the best in operatic or classical music is best appreciated in the live setting (again, just my opinion).
IMO, lyric analysis can be a bit too 'precise'... you are listening to a poet/wordsmith (beginning from Finnish) at work, not cut-n-paste from religious texts.
And, as Scandanavian culture is rich in non-Roman religion, writings and myth, attempting to apply Judeo-Christian-centric interpretations to lyrics may be problematic.
In short, I would suggest :
Watch the Live versions
Understand they really are that good.
Leave pre-conceived notions at the door.
... the Europeans really do 'get' music so much better than we North Americanoids.
Smile, laugh, cry, but above all ENJOY the music as it is presented ... I guess you can close your eyes, if visuals distract... but who wouldn't want to watch Floor, Marco, Empuu, Tuomas, Jukka, et al ? They express such an amazing stage presence, and sincerely/obviously enjoy the work they have undertaken.
(my bias/viewpoint - I play a dozen or more instruments passingly, and a few quite well.
But I am a far better engineer and dentist (my 2 professions) than I am a musician.
And just like any other engineer you've met, I have quirks galore, lol.
Apparently, telling people what to think is one of them.)
The last note Floor takes is what we call a Floorgasm 👍
🤩👍💥 💯
Official Nightwish videos have the CC/subtitles/lyrics option...
... So you don't have to peek aside(like owls✌️😆) off the actual video while you are reacting.
Go ahead and explore more of this magical band and keep on rockin with them!
Cheers from Finland
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
What comes to the lyrics you should take in consider the title of this awesomeness of their tasty repertoire.
Like movies used to have on the credits :"Music SCORE by......" atleast back in the days. 😉
O dear, your wife seems determined to seek "bad" things about the song. E.g. calling poetry bad English 😁
Omg I couldn't get thru this.
@@ToTheWolves I tried to help them with pointers to improve.... Nope, it didn't land well..
Will block their channel from being suggested in my YT flow.
Much Love to you and Ukraine
🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
@@D-ragon-S how do you block channels from recommendations?! I've never been able to do that?
@@ToTheWolves Unfortunately you first have to subscribe to the channel. THEN you can Block the channel.
It is not 100% secured that it blocks every suggestion, but it helps a lot.
Being there wasn't a punishment, the best place to be.
This version is so much more exciting and colorfull compared to the clean studioversion. Seeing the band perform and the audience enjoy their first class performance helps to rate it 10 out of 10. This is by far the best version of the song.
Wish there was a VR possibility.
:) So Nightwish is a...complicated story. They've had 3 lead singers, all 3 are *VASTLY* different. Their first singer was Tarja, and she was almost purely operatic. Their 2nd vocalist was Anette, who did not have the same operatic leanings as Tarja (though she did surprise us quite a bit more than most fans expected, sometimes) and had a really good pop/rock singing style. Then there's the current vocalist, Floor. Floor manages to hit Tarja's highs as well as Anette's more pop/rock sounds.
Most of their albums also have had a sorta "magnum opus" style track.
Starting with Wishmaster, they had the title track Wishmaster.
Century Child had Beauty and the Beast.
Once had this song, Ghost Love Score.
Dark Passion Play had Poet and the Pendulum.
Imaginaerium technically had Song of Myself, though i think Storytime is a far more iconic track.
Endless Forms Most Beautiful has, probably the best and most "Nightwish" track they've ever done, with Greatest Show on Earth. Check out a live version of that one.
If you listen to album versions, keep in mind that they've had 3 vocalists. Everything up through Once will be Tarja. Anette's tenure was Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerium. Floor's reign has been Endless Forms Most Beautiful and their most recent, HUMAN :||: NATURE. So just keep it in mind that the album version of Ghost Love Score is going to sound very different, as it's from Tarja (who didn't really have the same rock/pop voice that Floor has.)
Tuomas (the Keyboardist) is an absolute masterful composer, and each album is written for its singer's voice. But then he also re-arranged and adapted/altered tracks to take advantage of Floor's range. Ghost Love Score is an excellent example, the ending section is *very* different for Floor.
To me, your “sonic experience” only of Nightwish would be comparable to eating a gourmet meal with your eyes closed. When folks start a reaction video with perceived negativity, they seem to look for only evidence to back it up throughout the performance. It seems odd to me that you’re making VIDEOS yet you desire audio only music.
I completely agree with you regarding that it seems odd!
I believe Nightwish is probably one of the best bands that most people in North America have never heard of. They are extremely big in Europe and South America (Brazil, in particular). Floor Jansen is so extremely talented, she could literally sing pretty much anything. I would suggest you check out the video of her duet with Henk Poort singing "Phantom Of The Opera" on a Dutch show called "Beste Zangers" from 2019. Just so you know, Henk Poort was one of Floor's biggest idols growing up. Henk has played the Phantom in the Dutch productions of the show. This performance of the Phantom showcases just what a phenomenal vocal range Floor has and was my first exposure to Floor. Hearing her made me want to check out her and Nightwish. Space Coast of Florida checking in. Len B.
You two look like your watching tennis😂
Here are some pointers to make it a better experience for us...
Bigger screen for the video.
1/3 of our total screen sits empty a bow your heads.
Open up your mind for poetic texts (not spoken as Canadians say them)
Also, mildly(or more) confusing when you watch in different directions.
After pausing, start 5 sec back.
Religious beliefs expressed in reactions acts as deterrent for viewers, statistically seen.
The way Floor engage in the performances is best experienced live.
I will never hold back my "religious beliefs expressed" to have higher stats or views, besides the fact that we have basically based our channel on being 1/2 on my religious beliefs! -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835 So that was the only thing you took away from what I wrote?
Ok..., Your welcome!
You should definitely watch The Greatest Show on Eart (with Richard Dawkins) (OFFICIAL LIVE). So so good.
Watching them live is important, I think I feel that's true for a lot of symphonic metal because the songs change/evolve, not just because they have a new singer. The production of their live shows is *amazing*.
🇫🇮 👍Thanks for this & I totally agree with what you said about music videos - most often than not, they are just a distraction. Great music can stand alone without any visuals.
Thank you Tarmo! It's good to know that there are some like minded others out there who appreciate the sonic experience without the visuals. I'll admit that the studio can certainly provide a 'skewed' representation of the song in comparison to the live performance. However, I would also argue that it often allows the product to be closer to the composer's original vision since they can utilize the time and space to make it how they choose. Thanks for watching! - Ddubs
@@ddubsnbstar835 👍
Continue the journey. It gets better
The point of a reaction channel is, funnily enough, to have a reaction.
More emotion in the owl porcelain.
my reaction was not impressed. That is still a reaction. It did not move me. Watch other non metal related videos of ours to see me groove. I even cry in one of the metal songs because it hurt me so much! -BStar
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites:
Energize me: czcams.com/video/fjm4BrNAf6s/video.html
Monolith of Doubt: czcams.com/video/3TmKHkQx45U/video.html
Dreamflight: czcams.com/video/73-_F9prx4I/video.html
Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). Here is a link to a part of a TV show (with english subtitles) of the reunion of the class of the Rock Academy with mostly backstage footage of the Tampere concert of Nightwish in 2015: czcams.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/video.html
'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song. Here are some examples:
Misery’s no Crime: czcams.com/video/SNPesLFTnUg/video.html
Disdain: czcams.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/video.html
Wild card: czcams.com/video/GpZMFALYeGc/video.html
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: czcams.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/video.html
Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see:: czcams.com/video/bAiPeSsqD-4/video.html
A suggestion to a christmas song sung by Floor. Here is a link to a performance in Finland with a special guest with the best seat you could imagine: czcams.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/video.html
Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on CZcams. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa:, czcams.com/video/QqdvFPBGN0c/video.html
and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: czcams.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/video.html
As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered CZcams in the last year. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing this at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. czcams.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/video.html
Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (5 years old), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.
Why are you two listening to Nightwish with a negative approach. Wake up, you are listening to truly the best sounding vocals that you’ll ever hear. Floor Jansen In my opinion is truly the finest singer the world has ever known, PERIOD!
I don't think we are being negative at all! Critical perhaps. Real and Raw, for absolutely sure. That's why it's called a reaction! -BStar
If you want see more of Floor Jansen in a different environment I suggest you watch a Dutch tv show called beste zangers season 2019 , you can find it with subtitles, a think you wil surprised
The horns you see is a Bull, the logo of Wacken Open Air.
The problem if you want non videos, you're gonna miss Floors great performances and there are only 2 albums recordings with Floor.
Prerecorded....oh wow...the orchestra and choir yes in studio in London, but rest is live.
Hello there 🤗🤗
At a certain time you may become curious about the drummer and the bassplayer, and the band they come from.
Wintersun and maaaany other, absolutely amazing bands are originated from Finland.
So I can only say ENJOY 🤗🤗
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰 🇩🇰
95% of the commenters are trying in good faith to steer them on the right path about watching Nightwish live for good reason. Yet I get the vibe from these two that they are not very open minded. Saying that you’ve seen enough to know that you couldn’t possibly benefit any further by watching any live versions from here on out is just plain ignorance.
And complaining about their language. I am Austrian, so my native language is German, and exactly because of such people, I hardly leave comments, at the other hand, I would like do know, how good she speaks and writes Finish or Dutch, besides it is also poetry, so a level higher I would say.
There is 17 key changes in this song. the beginning is 6/8, 5/8 7/8 4/4
are we talking time signatures or the key(note) the song is done in? Any idea what kind of notes she hits? range? -BStar
Don't worry about the "horn" symbol. There's no devilry in it. Dio's grandmother taught him it was an old protective gesture from when he grew up. So it's stuck in metal and heavy rock.
Keep with the live performances though, same concert is a good starting point to continue.
See my other response about the devil's horns. I will continue to "worry" about occultist symbols and their prevalence in our society. -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835 It's not an occultist symbol though, so your worries regarding that particular gesture are unfounded. That said, the metal community as a whole is one of the nicest of all genres. I've never felt safer, as a woman, than surrounded by my fellow metal heads. I got knocked down, accidentally, once in an impromptu mosh pit, and I was off the ground and back on my feet before I had a chance to even register what happened. I was surrounded by a dozen huge guys all acting like I was their little sister and made sure I was ok for the rest of the night. Judging from a place of ignorance is a dangerous road to go down. Pleas keep that in mind in the future.

When the people hear’t this they said that this not or difficult can played live because the transition from Opera voice to belt.
That’s when fans and people who were there, said that you must look at the live preforming (clip).
I know what you mean, but an radio dj here said that everybody can make a record, he to with his bad voice,
so he has mede a song and dubbt it in a studio, (that was in the 80’s or begin 90’s)
He has made a little hit here in Europe, but he can’t never sing it, or he must playback it.
(Like so many singers do who never played live)
But that’s why people say that.
NW Army UK popping in for your first reaction
This is live live no messing about at all Floor is the greatest singer there is out there can sing any gandre NAME ME A BETTER ONE OUT THERE WHO CAN ???
Tip: looking back and forth between edges of the screen is distracting. Watching a tennis match? The psychology of "react to" video audiences is that we are watching you "open a present." Looking off screen suggests you aren't paying attention. The effect is the same as if your child kept looking at the front door while opening Christmas presents. Not wrong, but not satisfying either.
I concur. I had the same impression of a tennis match, which I found rather annoying. Other than that, quite nice reaction.
Haha! Noted! We were reading lyrics and watching the video... on different computers... hence the back and forth... however, distraction dully noted. --Ddubs
I concur.
Good one. The whole show was/is excellent try any other song. Try Story Time, Song Of Myself, Last Ride Of The Day, Nemo etc.
And I know I'm being a pain here but just a forewarn you guys also if you stick with this vacuum concert and choose to do the studio versions you are not going to get floor as the singer she these are not her songs they were not recorded when she was in the band.......
Live is always best, even eyes closed.
But if it's only audio, I suggest "Shoemaker" from Human | Nature album.
This whole show is also only audio too...
Out of curiosity, why do you open with one being a Christian and one not? Do you address content from both religious and non-religious perspectives? I am actually curious about how you two are able to maintain harmony within your relationship.
Edited to add: you watched the slowed version of this song. I don't know why it's still on CZcams. 🤷♀️
Yes and no. It just sort of explains part of our backgrounds. We could also have said "I am a conspiracy theorist" and "I am not". We have been together for 20 years. I was not always a Christian. We have both evolved much in our time together and continue to do so. Love in a long term way means supporting someone else, even if you disagree. Music was one of the things we could always share. He has put up with my Nsync and Backstreet Boys fazes and I've put up with his Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd fazes...barely -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835 I absolutely love that you two make it work by finding common interests. That's fantastic!
Again, out of curiosity, (and don't feel obligated to answer), you said you weren't always a Christian. What, if anything, were you prior to your conversion? And what compelled you to convert?
Humanity's relationship with religion fascinates me, so please forgive me if I've asked anything inappropriate.
Hello from the Netherlands.
sorry to say it like that and don't mean anything bad by it but you haven't heard anything yet of what Floor Jansen can do with her voice.
considering your age you are familiar with : Alone - from heart ? .
Floor Jansen made a very nice and good Cover of this in her Home studio made during the corona Lockdown DEFINITELY worth watching.
p.s. I am now subscribed to your CZcams channel I am looking forward to your upcoming comments on videos.
Sincerely, Hollandduck
Thanks for getting us. I totally want to hear what else she can do with her voice! -BStar,
Maybe Shoemaker is a place you should go. While all of the band are superior musicians in their own right, they all play within themselves and put the band and song first.
Poetry is nothing like spoken language. So many positive things to say, what a shame you met this video and song with skeptisism, that must ruin the joy of it I can imagine. Sorry for my English, I hope you understand even though English is not my morher tongue. Thank you for the reaction🙏🏽
Yeah I don't enjoy too many of the songs we review overall. We tend to do a lot of band and rock or metal, and I tend to listen to pop and singer/songwriters. But I do have a critical ear that is true. -BStar
Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
They clearly aren’t native English speakers, but the lyrics they make only makes sense in conjunction to their other songs which they reference a lot, and the time period the song was written.
This song, for example, was written for the last album they had with their first female vocalist. It speaks about a love for the same things but, as time passed both parties drifted away, one remained loyal to the primary goal while the other has other goals in mind. The one who stayed felt betrayed but has to push forward without the other.
In context of the band, their first female vocalist was already thinking of leaving the band to go solo during the time of writing the song. Salt on the wound they actually made her record this song, a song about the band’s feelings about her drifting away.
the bull gesture with your hands 🤘 and the burning bull head statue has NOTHING to do with the devil or devil worship as in religion though ! .
it might as well have been a giraffe or an elephant's head. only they are not very easy to distribute with your fingers.
for example, in the Netherlands there is a band that has made a song : "Bok 'm d'r op!" = buck (as in goat) him on it .
or in other words take it up (you) by the horns . or get to work with it / do something about it / make something of it .
all this is with the same 🤘 gesture but with the fingers curved like a goat's horns.
not everything and mmm everyone is always and only busy with religion or faith! .
And even if this was the case, everyone has the right to have an opinion about it! .
link to the video of : Mooi wark - Bok 'm d'r op! . czcams.com/video/UzER2r6Pl5k/video.html
a goat is totally a satanic symbol too! -BStar
@@ddubsnbstar835
sometimes he is a bull just a bull and a goat just a goat maybe they walk together in the same meadow.
NOT EVERYTHING IS RELIGION!
And I can't speak for a lot of other nightwish fans of the nightwish army in general but I will tell you that if I see a reactor is reacting to the studio version I won't even watch but that's just me and that's my preference............. I guess you guys will learn that night wish is what I call an all-encompassing band meaning they are better live.......... The experience of watching them live versus studio to me is night and day but that's just me so if I see a reactor just doing the studio version I will skip right over it
Scott is being helpful...its more true than not...lives get views bc they are stunning.
@@amygoodson-catlady yes, and thanks for that. You know what's funny I just thought of this....... We have to keep in mind that this is CZcams it's not a radio station and CZcams is meant for videos videos are meant to be watched so that's why to me I want to watch someone reacting to something that is a video whether it's live or whether it is a music video I don't want to watch someone listening to music....... To me it defeats the whole purpose of being on CZcams which is a video channel.
@@scottb.4472 truth in that, Scott!
I concur.
Same here
Floor is Danish and married to a Swede. The drummer from Sabaton.
As I know is Floor from the Netherlands and this means she is Dutch, but the drummer is the dude from Sabaton.
Nothing evil or deceptive in Nightwish. Actually, many fans experience spiritual elevation and emotional liberation when listening to their music. You should try their song Elan from their Buenos Aires 2019 concert to see how broad Nightwish is musically. Or maybe listen to How's the heart? as an acoustic version by Nightwish.
