    The guitarist in the beginning was Troy, not Emppu.
    Troy also sings and plays any instrument he wants, during the opening it was guitar and Uilleann pipes.
    You are so right, it is a masterpiece!

    Between Wembley and Tampere there is no wrong choice. For me this has the slightly better sound and Tampere the significantly better visuals, but I think sound is more important, so they end up about even. The important thing, Marben, is to watch and listen to both! Twice the epicness! Peace.

    I'd rather see your reaction, joy and happiness then you talk and miss something important, cause so much is happening here! My fav part of the song is toolmaker, so when the human era beginns. It is depressing thought that the 1st part of the song was so peaceful and since the moment that humans era came, all the fire and distruction happens. the progression is so well shown though! I love i! And the moment with all those music easter eggs with Bach, Metallica and Enter Sandman etc. We were here moment is always emotional for me, and then Dawkins' words - so impactful... I can't tell you how many times I have watched their live performance of this song and i am always crying at the end. Especially in this version, where Prof. Dawkins is there in person, speaking tothe crowd, and seeing their faces and understanding of his words and the whole song...

    If Tuomas would have chosen some other genre to make music, like if he would've gone to Hollywood, he could make his name written next to John Williams, Ennio Morricone and such. We're so lucky to have a musician like him in the metal music genre. He's an incredible composer.

    I've known Nightwish for at least twenty years and being an old thrash metal drummer since the 80's, many times I was never interested in listening to this wonderful band. A few days ago I decided it was time to hear something from the band, in my mind there was always that "operatic" voice of Tarja that bothered me. I had known Floor since the days of After Forever and his band didn't attract my attention either. I chose to listen to "Ghost Love Score" and since then I can't contain my emotion... I dove headfirst into the world of Nightwish and when I arrived at "The Greatest Show on Earth", my reaction was the same as yours, I was in disbelief, and when Richard Dawkins himself came on stage, I collapsed for good! Oh God, why did it take me so long...

    The song is divided into 5 segments. The first is labeled 4.6, as in 4.6 billion years, which is the age of the Earth and the solar system. The Big Bang was 14 billion years ago, so the the beginning of the song is more like the early bombardment of Earth by comets, meteors, asteroids ,etc.
    Yes, that riff that you gave a double take to was Metallica's Enter Sandman. It was preceded by other pieces of music including one by J.S. Bach, and then followed by a piece of EDM. The Evolution of music.
    Research isn't necessary to enjoy this song, but doing so makes the song more interesting. Nice Job. 🤘🤘

    Great reaction! In your journey to date, I believe this is your first time meeting Troy. He's a very gifted and versatile musician, and it was his electric guitar in the opening (not Emppu), played with a gadget called an e-bow. In that section, he was mimicking a wonderful cello part that is on the album and in other live performances of this song. I love how the switched it up here. You also saw him play his pipes a little later in the opening. There are several moments in this composition that always choke me up, starting with Floor's whispering of 'Us sleeping' and then the orchestral build in the final bow. It's simply an amazing composition, perfectly played by all. Thanks for the heartfelt reaction. On to #9!

The deep meaning of those spoken word passages really smacks me right into a reality of gratitude. Every ife has its pains and hardships...but to be reminded in this way, by these words...that I'm still lucky to be here...moves me to tears (ok, I legit SOB!) every single time! This song kinda changed my life. So glad you enjoyed it so much! And, yes...Emppu did play the Enter Sandman riff! But it was Troy on rhe ebow for the opening b4 switching to his pipes.

    Good call waiting on The Poet and the Pendulum, to me it's their best song, but it is an emotional journey. I like to just put it on, close my and enjoy the ride. The band is amazing, and Floor is the icing on the cake, her voice.....it just...well, it's hard to describe, it just grabs you and holds on. Had you told me a year ago I would be listening to a Metal band I would have called you crazy.....now the of the stuff I used to listen to is just music. Nightwish makes me happy....every song....there are no bad songs.

    WE WERE HERE!! Surprisingly, Tuomas said he wrote this song rather quickly, in a matter of a couple of days, but it took a solid 2 and half weeks to mix. It was originally over 30 minutes. The modern age of man section included excerpts from Dies Irae, Minuet in G major by Christian Petzold, Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach and Enter Sandman by Metallica, the last of which you may have caught. This is definitely the most ambitious project Nightwish has ever done. Check out the Tampere version as well, some differences in their homeland and outdoors. There is still much, much Nightwish greatness to discover. P.S. congrats on making it on to Alex Terrible’s channel for most intense reactions to Doom 👍🏻

    Hay mate, great to see you back with Nightwish. Science has never been more sexy. I'm emotional watching, not just because of Nightwish but also your reactions. Expectation, wonder, pure delight, excitement, it's all there to see. Troy is pure genius, he sings and plays so many instruments. Keep your journey going and work up to Hellfest 2022. Marko has left but Troy has stepped up with more vocals, Nightwish still performing brilliantly. Cheers, Rich.

    While both Wembley and Tampere are great have to admit I always feel a little disappointed when it is Wembley. Glad you watched both. For me the fireworks, Troy's low whistle instead of the e-bow, Floor walking out on stage into the crowd, her outfit, it is just so much more epic. Kind of like Ghost Love Score at Wacken vs Buenos Aries in 2012. Love both but prefer the more epic performance. I know people say that the audio is better at Wembley but they are so close I have never noticed it. I do think the spoken word section in the outro at Tampere is higher in the mix and easier to hear and understand. Dawkins walking out on stage does nothing for me. Just my opinion and to each, their own.

    The first chapter is called 4.6, which is the age of the planet earth in billion years
    The first hard orchestral/musical punch, this here (2:38 - 2:58) is NOT the big bang, in my opinion this is the collision of the proto-earth with another protoplanet which later created the moon , followed by "The Great Bombardment" (3:52)
    The Guitar in the first chapter is played by Troy Donockley, not Empuu ...

    Sorry it's a little bit long but their's so many things to say
    A FEW REMARKLE WORDS IN THE SONG.
    IN THE TAMPERE SHOW FLOOR'S DRESS WAS
    The double helix of the human DNA
    THE TAPESTRY OF CHEMISTRY:
    The periodic table of the chemical elements.
    AEON:
    Used in reference to a period of a thousand million years (especially in geology, cosmology and astronomy), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite period
    THE GARDEN:
    Not only the earth but also the whole universe.
    THE GOLDILOCKS ZONES:
    refers to the habitable zone around a star. It's the zone that has just the right temperatures for ( intelligent) life to develop.
    LUCA:
    It's the acronym for the Last Universal Common Ancestor, a key concept in the study of early evolution and life's origin that has been tracked by scientists for years.
    ENTER SANDMAN:
    Song of the group Metallica
    LUCY OF THE AFAR
    Collection of several hundred pieces of fossilized bone representing 40 percent of a female of the hominin species Australopithecus AFARENSIS In Ethiopia,
    Why was Lucy so important?
    In 1974, Lucy showed that human ancestors were up and walking around long before the earliest stone tools were made or brains got bigger, and subsequent fossil finds of much earlier bipedal hominids have confirmed that conclusion. Bipedalism, it seems, was the first step towards becoming human.
    DEVONION SEA:
    The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic, spanning 60.3 million years ..., called after the place Devon in the UK where rockes of that period were first studied.
