Thank you for a nice shout-out, but especially because you decided to continue exploring the ocean of good music, created and performed by Nightwish for more than a quarter of a century. Of course, you have my subscription for that. You know, people call me "general", but I'm glad they accepted me as one of them. The fans are both metalheads and non-metalheads (like me), because their music transcends the boundaries of the genre, as you will see in time - it's practically a real musical universe unfolding in front of us.
Now it's morning here, and I see that there are already 666 :) views, 188 likes and 36 comments in only 5 hours after the post, so I would say that the fans in Europe have just started to wake up.
I'm glad that you take into account the suggestions of the fans, because the enormous diversity of Nightwish's music is difficult to contain in a single comment - I encourage you to find your own way in this ocean. Now Floor is the main singer and many of us are her fans, but Tarja and Anette contributed decisively through their work and talent to the phenomenon that Nightwish is now.
Greetings from Romania! See you in your next one 🤘
Sir, general Gabriel, salute from Finland. I want to ask you something..Have you ever have a change of being contact with anyone from nightwish, from management, band itself or anykind like that?? Maybe you are constantly, or maybe opposite..I dont know. Thats why I ask.
I ask because I think u should get at least minor aknowledgement from band or organization behind them, because your contribution to their success in youtube. If its something that you are not able to to answer for whatever reason, its fine, but if u can offer me any insight, I will follow you to battle allways :).
I was fan of nightwish in Tarja era, stop listening and following when Anette came, now for my very big surprise, it have been one of the most reacted band in whole youtube(they released some thoughts about it I think, have to check it next). I am so happy about Floor in the band. I knew it, but didnt give it so much attention when it happened. I start to believe that maybe this is the best singer overall, tho difficult and stupid to compare it like that. Nowadays one of my main thing in yt have been checking nightwish reactions, and thats why I find you, and whole concept of nightwish army.
Me personally, I am very grateful that there are general like you. Please keep it up.
Thanks for taking the time and responsibility to do what you do since Anne passed away...
@@phm19880 That's my 2nd attempt to post this response message, the 1st was filtered by YT bots - I really don't understand why.
Thank you for the appreciation, but this is not my motivation for what I do in promoting Nightwish, to receive recognition. I am happy with the few CDs and T-shirts I bought with my money.
The reason is that I want to see something positive happen in this world full of sadness, failures and disappointments. Until I heard about Nightwish, I had started to lose hope that I would find something really good here. That's why I try to make them known, because they embody those principles, values and energies that have started to disappear: common sense, compassion, love, responsibility, courage, optimism, positivism - and they do all this with talent and elegance.
Maybe what I'm saying seems pompous to you, but the fact that a band like Nightwish exists in the real world gives me hope that there is a future for all of us.
@@flowq3874 🙏🤘
@@phm19880 Hi. I replied to you twice, but both comments are "hidden" by YT, I hope you still see it in the notifications. So I make here another attempt.
I haven't tried to contact Nightwish, and if I ever meet them, I suppose I'll do it at a "meet and greet" like any other fan. I have no ambition to be recognized as something other than what I am, namely a man whose life was changed for the better by their music. I try to make them better known because I think they deserve it, thanks to their message and the artistic way they express themselves.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I will try to continue to make them known in the future, to the extent that my messages have the support of the majority of fans and to the extent that I feel that I am helping them through what I do.
🤘
This is definitely one of those band that are best watched live! I saw them in Albany, NY in 2018 and the performance was perfect. Best live band I've seen in 50 years of listening to metal.
Man I live one hour from Albany but just didn't know about them yet 😠🤘
@@SamZapadinsky I drove 2.5 hours south to see them. It was well worth the drive and hotel room for the night. 😀 Sat next to a couple guys who drove up from NYC to see them again 2 days after the show they went to in NYC. People of all ages were there, from young teens to a few that looked to be in their 70s. I've been a fan since 1998.
Nightwish army Texas here! 😉
Nightwish Army Germany calling.
Great reaction. Welcome to the World of Nightwish.
Take care
Floor is one of a kind .....she can do anything vocally from Classical to real growling and everything in between and her stage presence is next level .....she been doing this since the late 90s with her 1st band After Forever .
Nightwish is one of those few bands that are better live saw them in 2022 in NY ....absolutely incredible . Great Reaction
Utah Army here!! Greatest band ever!! Period!!
Nightwish Army from southern Finland here. Great reaction! Once you're down the rabbit hole, you'll never come out again 😅
👍👍A fantastic performance by Nightwish!! 🖖❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Never gets old.😏 My all time favorite Nightwish song.😍🤩😍 Floors angelic voice soars out over everything piecing your soul.
Welcome Army❤️🤘🔥🤘❤️
🥰🥰Love and Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦
Glad you discovered our Dutch Valkyrie Metal Goddess and Nightwish!
There is much more and all this good.
The greatest show on earth next one, will blow your mind!
Nightwish army is very passionate and very loyal, and very diverse, I have a feeling you will be joining us after hearing this song
Great performances by Nightwish, love the video and your reaction
Thank you so much!!
@@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358 fyi no need to dim,blur etc NW videos as they are rarely ever blocked or etc. the band fully supports reaction vids on YT
The only thing hardcore about the NWA is that many fans take stances for who is their favorite vocalist. Most intelligent fans respect and love all 3 vocalists, even though everyone has a preference. Just enjoy the journey. It is no crime to have a preference. I do. Some like harsh vocals, or only male vocals. Nightwish music is all about beautiful majestic melodies and powerful and dramatic musical journey's. And sometime the occasional very heavy music with a little Metallic influence. It is not for everyone, especially US fans who are not exposed to anything outside the cultural norms.
A very unique and special song from a rare and unique band. Almost every song is different, yet still Nightwish.
I could see that. It happens a lot with bands that have lead changes. I have only done Floor but I'm sure they each have a unique vocal talent to them! I look forward to hearing them all!!
You get it. It is difficult for serious fans to accept a new vocalist. Even one such as the talented and special Floor Jansen.@@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358
""Most intelligent fans respect and love all 3 vocalists" yikes, thats a bit of a condescending and insulting comment, so the majority of NW fans that do not particularly like Anette I guess are not "intelligent" ?
All Nightwish all the time!!!
Hello
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
I was lucky enough to see them live last year, absolutely blown away!
🤘 Floor Jansen 🤘
🤘 Nightwich 🤘
🤘 Ghost Love Score 🤘
NWArmy here, welcome and enjoy your ride into this amazing band!!!!! Greetings from Greece💯🤘
Keep going👌🤘🤘👍👍
Its wicked cool, it almost a little haunting
Welcome to the world of Nightwish Symphonic Metal! Try Storytime from the same show next. It’s incredible!🎸🤘
Nightwish is best served live!!
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Great Reaction , The Wacken Festival is always in August and here in 2013 it was the bands big introduction of Floor to the metal world . Nightwish was touring in the US in Sept & Oct 2012 when there singer and band had a falling out and they called Floor and asked her if she would fill in and help the band complete the world tour but she would have to learn 15 songs and get on stage in 48 hours . Floor agreed and jumped on a plane and on Oct 1st 2012 in Seattle Wash she did and history was made . the band named her there permanent singer shortly after this show in 2013.
Wow that was asking a lot but she seems badass so I'm not surprised she was able to do it!
Floor was already well-known to the metal world long before she joined Nightwish. She didn’t just fall out of the sky. Her first band After Forever was active from the mid-1990s until they disbanded in 2009. They shared a lot of fans with Nightwish and even toured Europe opening for Nightwish. When Tarja left in 2005, Floor was a fan favorite to be her replacement. It didn’t happen then, of course, but when it did there was a lot of excitement amongst fans as they already knew what a great match she’d be for Nightwish. Her second band reVamp was also very active on the European metal circuit. Between all that, she was/ is a frequent participant in Arjen Lucassen’s Star One and Ayreon projects. Floor was already a rock star when she joined Nightwish.
@@Zozo-K- Yes I know but I was to keep it short and Nightwish related . I'm sure he will continue reading yours and others to help educate him .
@@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358 There's a documentary about this called "Learn the set list in 48 hrs" on you tube
🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done and welcome to the Nightwish familie
Epic! Great reaction! Thanks. One of our absolute favorite symphonic metal performances of all time! I wish they would’ve had a camera filming drummer Jukka Nevalainen the entire performance. His movements are so heartfelt, like a graceful ballet at times, and as if he were going into battle other times. He is a machine! It’s understandable why he needed to take a break from it all. The entire Nightwish band is comprised of talent! Every artist brings their absolute best. The different movements and time signature changes keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the score, from the song of what sounds like the call of a siren, to a Gaelic sea shanty, …then to a roaring revenge of Poseidon! It’s like a movie score. One of the best arrangements ever!
"Is this Floor still?" 5:10
Whenever vocals soar like never before, it must be Floor 🤘
It could also be her sistah Sei Ling Jiang Sen.😃
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Careful now. The Jiang Sen vocal multiplier is not w/o danger to uninitiated ears!
@@BrendonChase_2015 🤭Oops! I take it Bach!
👉🤓
If by "is the recording the same way", you mean the album studio version, then no. It IS the same song, but it was sung by original lead singer Tarja Turunen on the 2004 album, Once. Tarja is the most operatic of the 3 lead singers. Floor added her touch, and that ending. Every one of the 15 songs at this Wacken 2013 concert was originally recorded with one of the first 2 singers. 2nd singer was Anette Olzon ( from Sweden), she has more of a pop/rock style.
That is a flaming bulls head, it is the logo of the venue, Wacken Open Air. Wacken is a small town in northern Germany, in cattle country.
Nightwish is a live band. Their albums are great, but their lives are, in the opinion of many, even better.
Ya know, Nightwish has music that crosses multiple spectrums. There is plenty of harder material. ❤❤
Nice job, bro!
Thanks ✌
@@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358 fyi Gabriel is just someone who continued (which is commendable )what was being offered by Ann W. several yrs ago,as a sort of NW unofficial YT ambassador ,but this massive fan base has no one single representative or "leader" we are all contributors equally and a reactor should be led to think there is only one person they should look to for song recmds,etc.
Nightwish four Finns one Dutch and one English man what a combination, thanks for your reaction, hope you continue your journey with this wonderfully diverse band. Nightwish are always better live🇬🇧
I can see from your face that you appreciate the beauty of it .
H/t Ville Lipiäinen, & crew for capturing those scenes, & transmitting them to us. :)
Nice reaction, always best live. Nightwish is never the same twice. Gabriel's has notations by the side of the songs and he means them. Check out Romanticide next to hear the 2nd singer and My Walden after to meet the 6th member of the band.
Nightwish Army from WV reporting in
Hello Twiztid Whiskey. Nightwish Army Phoenix here new subscriber here for you. Welcome to our world of symphonic metal, with the Metal Muse himself, Tuomas Holopainen, as the composer and lyricist extraordinaire. And, yes, we also have our 3rd and current female lead vocalist, our 6'1" (barefoot) Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen, on lead vocals. Getting to see them perform live is a lifetime experience. Carol, my lovely wife of 42 years, and I got to travel from Phoenix to see them perform live at the historic Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on May 18, 2022. Unbelievable experience from waiting in line outside the theater with so many wonderful fans, until the very end of their setlist. Thank you for continuing down our magical Nightwish rabbit hole. By the way, Nightwish is a band whose Live performances are even better than their studio productions. Stick to the live versions of their music and you will not be disappointed. Loved your reaction. This is a legendary show of theirs (among many others) but, for your consideration, here is a link that will take to you every video from this incredible Wacken 2013 performance. Enjoy. czcams.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M.html
The entire Wacken 2013 performance is out of this world! Keep up the good work!
Greetings from UK
That was another great reaction, thanks man 🙂
I would recommend to you another song from this concert called "Song Of Myself". I think you will like it a lot, and I DARE YOU not to headbang whilst watching it 😂
Nightwish Army New York State division reporting and subscribing in the hopes that you will continue your Nightwish journey. This a a group of extremely talented musicians who all play for the song. You have only scratched the surface of their music. Each song is different and there isn't a bad song in the bunch. Is that a Breyer horse you have on the mantel behind you?
Nightwish Army Germany reports for duty
Please don't expect to hear a second song like this from Nightwish... because no song from this band sounds like any other!
In fact, Nightwish is one of the few bands that do extraordinary things in the studio and then surpass this performance many times over on a live stage.
In the meantime I have been able to experience Nightwish live on stage in pretty much every European country, as well as once in Japan and once in Mexico. It doesn't matter how big or small the stage may be... Nightwish blows them all up!
Here we come! Nightwish Army NY.
This performance featured original drummer Jukka Nevalainen who had to leave the band in 2014 due to Insomnia (replaced by current drummer Kai Hahto) and bassist Marko Hietala who left in 2020 after 19years (replaced by current bassist Jukka Koskinen). Floor had only been with Nightwish for about 10 months at the time of this performance.
And then to think Floor was only 10 months with them at that time. All the songs therefor were written for the first 2 singers. Floor only had 48 hours to learn the setlist when she replaced Annette mid tour. This concert was the biggest venue for Floor ever in her career. To hear how she felt performing this at Wacken watch the reaction video she made during lockdown reacting to herself. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. She left so many more presents ready to unpack on her CZcams channel.
Nightwish is 99% live and a few songs studio ..........That's the awesomeness in this group
I night-wish they would come to the states for a major American tour. Since the past 3 years of CZcams, millions have been exposed to this awesome and. Great reaction, subbed on it!
That would be cool!
That is a bummer!
Nightwish army Amsterdam here🤘
Send them to the Superbowl ,You have the greatest show on Earth. 🤘🤘🤘
Every now and then I stumble over a reaction to this song. Like yours. And I liked it a lot. I don't consider myself as being a part of the Nightwish Army, my musical taste is too wide to be that kind of framed. But I used to be a stagehand and back in time, I worked with them, with exactly that band members. We were putting together Jukka's drumkit and it was freakin' huge. Pretty difficult task - everything has to be in the right place, there are plenty of mics, cables... I was somewhat annoyed and said to my workbuddy, that I would be pretty pissed, if the guy won't utilize all that shit. At this very moment, Jukka showed up, nodded and laughed...
Well, that evening I saw him "utilizing all that shit"😂
One of the best drummers I know. Sadly, he had to retire. He was long suffering from insomnia and tour-life made that even worse. He still is with the band, but management only.
Floor is just unbelieveable. Good looking and being tall might add to her stagepresence, but it takes more. And she has it all. She has the ability to literally command an audience. That "hey-hey-hey" was like rallying her troops to charge into some epic battle. That earned her the nickname "Warrior Princess".
The fact that shortly before Wacken she was announced as the new singer, gives this performance yet an additional twist. She took the hearts of the fans by storm. And at the end of that song, after the very last note, when the roar of the crowd could be heard, she KNEW it. Just look at her face at that moment, the way she bows to the fans. A very special, beautiful moment and the most honest "Thank you" I've ever witnessed from an artist. And I saw a lot.
Squads , battalions, etc? OK, here, whatever I'm in. :P
Glad you enjoyed it. :)
UK Army popping in for a great reaction
I saw Nightwish live in Birmingham UK in Nov 2022, they are truly awesome.
Thanks for your reaction! I enjoyed it immensely! On to the next NW song: Storytime (great song very accessible almost mainsteam) or Romanticide (downright dirty metal about a love that died, hence the title). I know you gonna love both! Oth performed at Wacken 2013!
👍Nice Reaction,what can one say,it's just so good and the more you listen to them the more you gonna be impressed.As fan's and members of the Nightwish "army" it's hard to not speak about them with great admiration,maby for some it's not their thing,but,people have to admit that they are mastery musicians,especcially live. Maby not the biggest but a very large fanbase all over the world and of all ages, will tell you the same "Nightwish ,one of the most impressive live bands out there"!🤘 Greetings from Spain.😉
From Tribal to GLS. Wow. Great idea. Greetings from nothern Germany 🤘🤘
Hey, thanks!
I am 69 years around the sun. My first concert was for a band I knew nothing about. It was in Berlin Germany, 1972.
My chums wanted to see that band I had never heard of back then, I wanted to see the band Chicago Transit Authority which were playing on that same night in a larger concert hall but mine was the only vote to see Chicago, everyone else wanted to see this other band in a smaller venue.
So for my first concert I was fully blown away by this unknown band...you've probably heard of them: Pink Floyd!!! (The soundtrack can be found on CZcams under Pink Floyd, Berlin Germany, Sportspalast 1972.)
Since that day I have attended around 100 major concerts over the decades.
That lengthy autobiography said....
I own the Live at Wacken 2013 CDs and DVDs with Floor as front-woman and Marco as second chair vocalist.
In my humble opinion, absolutely no concert that I have attended has moved me as much as that concert...and I wasn't even there!!!
It is a rare day that I do not listen to something by Nightwish with any of their singers past and present. They all move me to tears. (Yes, that includes both Marco and Troy!)
You mentioned that this band appeals to all ages, I agree! The one show I went to down in LA was attended by many old folks like myself as well as middle aged and younger fans.
I confess that only Lindsey Stirling brings in a wider multi-generational audiance. Miss Lindsey generally draws in us older fans as well as younger fans ranging all the way down to children hardly out of kindergarten!
But this "book"is about Nightwish.
While I have seen them only once and I've seen Lindsey Stirling 9 times, in my humble opinion, the greatest performance by any band ever had to be Nightwish @Waken 2013.
If only I could go back in time, I would even sell a body part to have been there!!! (No, not one of my body parts but maybe something from one of my old girl-friends!😊)
As a Finn, I've seen them live only once, but it was life changing experience.
Hey liked you comments , im a lifelong Floyd fan since 1972 when my dad bought me the Meddle LP after seeing a surfing movie . I love Nightwish but only because of the vocals Floor has the best live voice of a woman ive ever heard . But disagree with your best concert which i have on CD , my fav is the Pulse tour by Floyd by a mile . Im a guitar fan so id put Floyd, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, AC/DC above this band .
@steviesellers To me, that's the beauty of music. Many of us, (definitely me), can not tell you why we like what we like, but we know what we like when we hear it.
I've chums who only listen to this or that music genre and are often stuck in a specific music era as well.
From your list, I dearly love Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. I sorta love one song by AC/DC but I was never really a fan of theirs. (Thunderstruck?)
I grew up on Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, the Who, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull, etc.
Great guitarists that I have seen were, BB King, Ritchie Blackmore when he was with Deep Purple, Alvin Lee with Ten Years After, Peter Frampton on his own and earlier when he was with Humble Pie, Stevie Ray Vaghn on his last concert tour, Randi Hansen being Jimi Hendrix, and I worked with a band as their photographer when they opened for Joe Satriani.
Newer bands that I like are Wagakki Band*, Walk Off The Earth, Tarja, and my favorite female dancing violinist, Lindsey Stirling.
Growing up, I was attracted to epicness in music, which was why both Pink Floyd and YES were early favorites, as was RUSH, with both Nightwish and Sabaton* as my newer favorites over the past decade.
Regarding Led Zeppelin, missing seeing them live is one of my regrets in life, but I was blessed to have seen soooo many great musicians over the span of half a century, I can not complain.
That all said, Nightwish, Live at Wembly is in my car's CD player and End Of An Era, Wacken 2013, and many other Nightwish CDs fill my console.
While I have a fine collection of CDs from bands I like at home, over the past decade I only put either Lindsey Stirling or more recently Nightwish's CDs in my car's console.
*Odds are, you know who Sabaton is but if not, may I recommend two of their songs: "No Bullets Fly", (the animated version), and Christmas Truce.
If you are unfamiliar with Wagakki Band, may I recommend "Bring Me To Life" accompanied by Ami Lee. That band RAWKS! They use a blend of both modern instruments and traditional Japanese musical Instruments.
Sorry, being almost 70 means that I have lots of time to write books instead of quick replies.
I have over a 1,000 LPs went to record fairs and second hand and auctions for 20yrs . I was a punk in 1976 due to a certain LP by the Sex Pistols changed my life . My first live music was The reading rock festival where i saw SAHB, Thin Lizzy , Camel , Yes, Mothers of invention , Jeff Beck , various punk bands . Since then ive seen Guns n Roses in Paris , Pink Floyd twice The Wall tour and the Pulse tour, Metallica, Oz Fest , Genesis. New music for me is Independant labels now and getting my LPs on CD . Seen the Sabaton Xmas Truce video . I must admit i like guitar driven music , Sabaton and Nightwish dont have this @@christopherchick6419
@@steviesellers Ah ha, sounds like we have seen many of the same bands. I confess to a certain amount of jealousy because I have never seen the Sex Pistols or Jeff Beck.
I all but forgot about Frank Zappa and the Mother's, I saw them in Berlin as a kid too.
I've lost track of the shows I have attended as a kid...heck, I've lost track of a lot of stuff since.
In Berlin as a kid, I did see Pink Floyd on their Umma-Gumma tour. Back then we could bring our own wine or get baked on Hash and nobody cared.
Most of those Berlin concerts only cost the princely sum of $2.50-$3.00.
For that price I also saw Humble Pie, The Who, Ten Years After, Grand Funk Railroad, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, Elton John, Colloseuim with IF, I saw Rod Stewert and the Faces get their collective butts kicked by an angry audiance, BB King, Joan Baez, Deep Purple...oh I know I left someone out from that 3 year period.
Also during that time in Berlin I saw Tangerine Dream and Golden Earring at a club and Black Sabbath at the Free University. Somewhere else during that time I saw Uriah Heep.
Later while in the Army over in Germany I saw YES on their Tales From a Topographic Ocean tour.
Back here in the states, I saw Frampton, Supertramp, Heart twice, oh and I went to see Styx. Styx had an opening band I'd never heard of back then, they had a big upside down star with a guy in front of it as their banner. While I arrived to watch Styx, I left as a HUGE fan of their opening act: RUSH!!!
I've seen Rush 2 more times.
Due to girlfriends or assistants, I've seen the Scorpions 3 times and Metallica 4 times. Ozzy 4 times, Biohazard once, Alice in Chains once, (met them later as a photographer), Ramstein and Aerosmith. Each of those shows I was dragged off to by a gal-pal or as my photography assistant.
I was commissioned by a venue operator to photograph Suicidal Tendencies and Blue Oyster Cult. I was the official photographer for Seattle Hempfest 2000. (got in a dispute with Artis the Spoonman who did not want me to shoot him. Security escorted him off of the premises). I worked with Gruntruk at that event. I got to be above the stage taking photos of them at 4:20 with thousands of screaming fans as my background)
At the Gorge in George I have seen Santana, Stevie Ray Vaugn (there was an eclipse going on behind that show...it was Stevie Ray Vaughn's last tour. BTW, He opened for Joe Cocker.
While I have only seen Nightwish once, I've now seen Lindsey Stirling 9 times!
I am leaving a lot out but I likely am not allowed to write this book further.
More Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen please! - Wacken Open Air festival (in the village of Wacken, Germany) is one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world. The bull skull logo is the symbol of the festival and it refers to the venue, which used to be a meadow for cows.
Starting. with "Tribal", now "GLS" - you are getting an idea how diverse NW is. And yes, always live. Studio recordings are great, but hey, the live performances are from another world. 5 of the best musicians of the world and the best female vocalist of the universe. Always mindblowing. You will find out. Promised. 😂
Yes, i concur 🤘

What you should do:
Listen to Gabriel.

Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-)
About Ghost Love Score:
Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again.
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
This is called Symphonic Metal and one of the Titans of that genere !!!
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen (third and current singer) is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
About hairwhips:
Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bull whip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch.
And the master of this magic is:
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
Now, few connections:
Disney connection:
Floor Jansen did covers for two "Frozen" songs and Tuomas Holopainen (Metal Mozart) composed a whole album for Scrooge McDuck (album: "The Life and Times of Scrooge").
Sabaton connection:
Well, She (Floor Jansen) is married to Sabaton's drummer (Hannes Van Dahl) !!!!
Sabaton and Nightwish are the best storytellers, they don’t play music, they play feelings, they have the most amazing couple in metal and they have the most devoted fanbase. If there is a war in metal, the Nightwish Army and the Sabaton Army would be allies.
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
We hope, that there is more coming.
NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
The keyboardist, songwriter Tuomas Holopainen writes most of Nightwish's songs. Tarja (female) was a former lead singer with Nightwish before Floor.
Floor have her own channel
Videos from her first band After Forever, great covers and her new album Paragon
Yep,you're gonna get boosted,prepare to level up Lol ❤
You all are awesome lol. I enjoy meeting new and passionate fan bases! Its crazy sometimes!!
Nice reaction and Welcome to the "family" and soon to the Army. New subscriber here.
Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting.
No need to blur Nightwish, the band are cool with reactions.
I hope you enjoy your trip down the Nightwish rabbit hole.
I see from your background that you like horses. Floor is a big horse person and owns 2 horses. There are a few videos with her discussing her horses.
If you want something a little harder try "Romanticide"from the same concert
I prefer Yours is an empty hope from Wembley.
Great reaction! You will see, this band is something else! Every song is a journey. New subscriber here. Greetings from freezing Finland! ❄️
Awesome! Thank you!
This score matches perfectly your tanktop 👍
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, NWA 🫡🤘
Colonel Drew from Colorado reporting! Welcome to the rabbit hole of Nightwish where virtually every song has a "WTF?!?" moment. You have seen the prelude to this journey.
Singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants ❤ once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch show❤
I am super duper impressed with your first attempt at Tarja*s name it was spot on lot of reactors take forever to realize that the J in all the Nightwish members have a Y sound for example Jansen is pronounced Yansen and Jukka is Yukka
In your first Nightwish reaction you told your wife likes Evanescence maybe you can her introduce to Nightwish also and react together, there are a lot reactors who do that and it’s almost always fun to watch it
Great reaction!
Yes, it takes time to get your head around something like Ghost Love Score because it’s unlike almost anything you’ve ever heard. But, the more you listen the more you will appreciate what an amazing piece of music it is.
As for live versus studio, I’ve seen them live and for me, it’s live every time.
Greetings from the UK🇬🇧
that night was special
Hey and I am guessing maybe Texas? I am a Georgia boy here discovered Nightwish and Floor 4 years ago, and they continue to amaze me. I am liking and subbing in hopes you check out more Nightwish and Floor. We need more Americans recognizing how great this band and woman are, completely awesome! Every song is a new story, but all are good to great.
I really appreciate the sub! I'm in Ohio but love both Texas and Georgia!
We are nicely hardcore
🤘😁🤘
Great reaction. The crazy part is that Floor at this point was in the band for a few months. Nightwish is absolutely awesome and Floor is the Queen 🤘🤘🤘🤘
10 months is a bit more than 'a few'.
The second time she sings "My Fall" is 100% perfect unaltered pitch. Perfect. She is not of this world. Nightwish Army Vancouver SW Canadian Division present.
What Gabriel said! (What Ann said) Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia. Nightwish since 1996. Floor is from The Netherlands/Holland. She's Dutch so the hair thing is a "windmill" - of course! Mother of Freya and Lucy - so, in Norse mythology, she must be the Goddess named Nerthus (like Gaia)! Her husband is the 6'5" Viking drummer in the band Sabaton, Hannes van Dahl. Wacken has 2000 or so regular inhabitants - for this festival in 2013 there were 82,000 people there! The symbol of Wacken is the bull's head you noticed (Wacken used to be a cow paddock!). Buckle up! It gets better from here on!
Perhaps I Want My Tears Back live in Buenos Aires. It's awesome, and you will see the other member of Nightwish, Troy!
That would be cool!
Don t forget Marco. Stay Listening and you will hear him.
Oh okay you said, I bet that was your first floorgasm? Liked what i saw and heard, so new sub.

in TGSOE, don't forget that Troy is singing as well....then, "I Want My Tears Back" during the Buenos Aires 2018 show, which shows great audience interaction by Floor and Marko, with Troy again joining in on vocals
@@roy19491 My bad. But thanks for reminding me 😄😊 But the song "i want my years back" is not in my top 22 but a good song nonetheless 🙏
OK I'm not going to come on here and deny the magesty that IS Floor Jansen, however, I think it is CRIMINAL that my boy Jukka doesn't get enough love for beating the ever loving SHIT out of that set for damn near 8 minutes!!! Love watching these. 🤘😝🤘
Another Jukka fan here. Oh how I miss our pirate drummer!!!! Kai is good but Jukka was so animated and beat those drums like they owed him money!!!!
Ehm, Floor is Dutch and Troy is from the UK. Originally they are from Finland yeah. Every song of them is totally different :) From Trash-power-or symhonic metal to folky. The instruments you hear are from the London Philarmonic Orchestra, they played more tracks for them in bigger songs. The keyboard player (Tuomas) is also the composer and his name is also Metal Mozart🥰
This song is a score sir :)
If you like to hear Floor growl like a big dude, listen to "Yours is an empty hope" in Wembly (song about about nasty people, trolls)
Storytime is a great song to begin with and wowwww "Romanticide" in Wacken. The bass player (Marko) sings too, he's a great singer and in this song he shows his range. I love Romanticide
Hi from the UK 👋 🇬🇧 division of the Nightwish army something you might like to check out floor jansens friends ( Simone simons) band called epica it's another symphonic metal band from Holland 🇳🇱

Merci de continuer avec mon groupe préféré et notre reine, très bonne réaction de votre part et excellente analyse. L'armée NIGHTWISH de France est heureuse de vous compter parmi nous désormais. Encore plus d'écoute SVP, fiez vous à la liste de Gabriel pour avoir le meilleur du groupe mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre le meilleur des enregistrements. Le terrier est tellement profond, bonne chance a sa découverte, pour ma part, je n'ai pas touché le fond encore et j'ai l'impression que celà n'arrivera jamais. Encore du NIGHTWISH et merci d'avance, vous ne serez jamais déçu, autre chose à savoir que la dernière chanson écoutée deviendra aussitôt votre préféré, vous aurez l'occasion de vous en rendre compte. A bientôt et paix sur vous mon ami .....Et un nouvel abonné ici.
Merci beaucoup pour le Sub !! J'apprécie le soutien de la France. Paix à vous et restez bien !!

👌👌🇫🇮👋🇫🇮
The next two you have to do are in order from the same concert is Story time and Ever Dream trust in what I'm saying
Great reaction. You don't need that translucent video, or any other masking, and you are not required to interrupt the flow of music at least five times. NW are extremely copyright easy. I have seen reactors do full 90+ minute concerts, Wacken, Wembley, Buenos Aires, in full screen, only commenting in between the songs. Greetings from NWA lonesome Mid Pacific outpost, Maui. 😎🤘🤙
Recommendation (based on the shirt 😉): The Dark Side Of The Moon - Jenny of Oldstones (GoT cover) (originally sang by Podrick in episode 2 of season 8, end credits/ single version by British indie-.rock band Florence + the Machine)
Without going into too much detail, TDSOTM is a multi national supergroup. they came together to record this song just as the result of a bet. Napalm Records signed them just based on that one song (all of them being established artists already might have helped a little bit).
👍👍👍🇳🇱🤘🤘🤘🎤🎸💕
The bull's skull is the logo of the Wacken Open Air. The festival takes place in a former cow pasture that now serves as a hay meadow.
The contrast between the band's hard sound and a soft female voice is typical of symphonic metal.
The roller coaster is typical of Nightwish. The song is the third longest song performed live.
Floor has “only” 3.5 octaves. Many talented singers have this and female singers range in pitch from this range. Her versatility sets her apart.
Other Symphonics:
Within Temptation - Bleed Out (official music video)
VISIONS OF ATLANTIS - Pirates Will Return (Official Live Video) | Napalm Records
DELAIN - Masters Of Destiny (Official Video) | Napalm Records
The song was written for the first singer Tarja (j is pronounced as y), and it is different. I always keep thinking whether the opera trained Tarja did not could not or did not want, or Tuomas, the keybordist, did not want to thing with more expression. But as to the order of songs, I guess the next is "Romanticide". With Marko, the former basist and Floor (the song also was written for Tarja and it is even more different). But want a really bad ass song, I suggest to check "Planet Hell" with Tarja and Marko, or their cover of the "Phantom of the Opera". You can receognise the correct videos, because female singer (Tarja) is in bright yellow jacket.
Vocal teachers love singers of "Nightwish", maybe not so much Anette, though she is good, especially in the albums and Tarja is an opera singer after all, but Floor and Marko, especially Marko. For example, during her first reaction one lady told (commenting Marko), that that is what she teaches her students: "If you don't have any voice, at least hit the correct notes". She changed her opinion about Marko.
Definitely always best to watch the live tracks, apart from their track "Noise" which I needed to see the official video first before understanding it. A couple you might need to do a bit of research first before watching - "Shoemaker" and "Poet and the Pendulum".
I prefer the live version the the studio
