    Hello Taylor [Family Reactions] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
    Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, 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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen 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 (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 "
    Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory):

    @Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: czcams.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/video.html
    Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: czcams.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
    The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
    @Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.
    * The Tarja era *:
    Nightwish - Wishmaster [Live] czcams.com/video/eJTlH521E6w/video.html
    NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera czcams.com/video/tL25rbnvM4o/video.html

    Nightwish - The Siren [Live End Of An Era 2005] czcams.com/video/LUy8T_3kieI/video.html
    @DeeDee80: Gabriel, would be good to add in the Tarja list "Pharaoh Sails To Orion" czcams.com/video/ZpkH187t5Mk/video.html . It's one of the best.
    @NicholasCorvin: And in the Tarja era you could also mention "Nemo" [LIVE "End of an Era"] czcams.com/video/ww2f4PPprSc/video.html
    @LuxetVeritas: For the Tarja list, please add Nightwish - "Walking in the Air" [live] czcams.com/video/9icKP1b44TA/video.html
    Nightwish - "Deep Silent Complete" [live] czcams.com/video/BMBMCHsj5MA/video.html

    You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands) here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order ..) czcams.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo.html
    For entire episodes of the show with En subtitles, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: dailymotion_dot_com/xpinkeu/videos
    In the spring of 2021, Floor also did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival czcams.com/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/video.html
    In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us from her home studio, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 9 covers there, here is the playlist czcams.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlinbJW0aJc2iVy5tYEhC5KL9.html
    Following the success of Beste Zangers show, Floor performed a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020 with songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers) following that the last and the largest concert, at AFAS Amsterdam, to be professionally recorded and broadcast online, with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. After several rescheduling, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the concert took place at the beginning of September 2021 in 3 consecutive days. So far the first 7 songs from the concert plus the backstage documentary have been posted online, here is the playlist czcams.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlilDPohfKzmFC_wdTOllD3jh.html
    Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

    Wow it's usually the US reactors who mention Amy Lee of Evanescence as it's their only reference point. Floor Jansen has so much empathy, warmth, depth and range to her voice that she is almost without comparison. She has her own CZcams channel where you will find chats with fans, vocal coaching and some amazing covers. And Nightwish is the band that is a perfect fit for her with the fantastic song writing of Tuomas Holopainen, keyboards. This is song 13 of a 15 song set in front of 82,000 at Wacken 2013 after she had been with the band for only ten months.

    • @ACIoannina

      Comparing Amy to Floor is like comparing a toy piano to a real grand piano. Amy is a good singer but Floor is beyond human. Other than my immortal and bring me to life, I don't think I heard any of Evanescence's other songs becoming hits, whereas Nightwish have a huge catalogue of hits, though mainly in Europe

    I love how new people are raving about the intro only to be totally speechless by the angelic voice of Floor cutting through. While in my opinion there aren't any bad NW songs this one surely showcases a lot of Floor's abilities. She is a storyteller, and she uses her voice in whatever way she feels is appropriate, from growls to falsetto. She is probably one of the most versatile singers ever. But every musician on that stage is just as good as she is and they make it work as a team while enjoying themselves. Tuomas is the one who writes just about everything, and there aren't many songs the same, they are all different, you'll see. Most bands have a songwriter, NW has a composer.

    Hello Taylor.
    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.

Yes it’s a thing and anyone who listens to Nightwish with Floor singing lead has them! I’m new to the journey too. Only a few weeks in so I subscribed so I can take the journey with you!

    Welcome to Nightwish and thanks for checking out one of my recommendations. I'm not a metalhead and when it comes to heavy growling I'm out, but symphonic metal and especially Nightwish is a different story. They have great arrangements and how can anyone not like Floor's amazing vocals? She also has solo songs so you can even enjoy her independently from Nightwish. I'm not a Nightwish expert, just someone who enjoys their music, so I'll leave it to the Nightwish Army to give you more information about the band. I saw that Gabriel Bardac already commented here and gave you some suggestions for the continuation of the NW journey.

The 13th song of this amazing Wacken 2013 Open Air Festival. The 15 song set is just as amazing. Each song different than the last. So happy you have 11.3K subs who might have never seen this band.

A very sad chapter that ended the moment I seen this performance. I learn´t that I can live in happiness and experience the beauty of this world despite ongoing issues that I have.

You may not be into metal, or at least you think you aren't, but Nightwish can change your mind. That's exactly why I keep recommending people to at least listen to Nightwish. Their music can hit you in all kinds of ways. I have a feeling you're going to enjoy exploring their discography some more. I see you've already noticed Gabriel Bardac's comment. He gave you a list with song suggestions. Each song comes with one or two keywords to give you a hint of what to expect (even though they'll always surprise you). Just take your pick and enjoy!

    This was song number 13 of 15 in the concert, so Floor had been singing just like this for close to 90 minutes before this came up in the set list. You’ll discover a few things as you listen to more Nightwish:
    1. Floor can sing literally anything…every time you think you’ve heard it all, she’ll surprise you.
    2. While Amy Lee/Evanescence is the only point of reference many people have the first time they hear Nightwish, as you listen to more, you’ll find less and less to compare the two.
    3. No two songs really sound the same…they are very versatile and diverse.
    4.:Marko, the bass player, is also an amazing vocalist.
    5. There is a reason Tuomas, the keyboard player who writes the majority of the music and lyrics, is called “the metal Mozart,”
    6. It’s common to feel strong emotions and get teary-eyed when listening to them, even when you don’t know what the song is about.

    A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe 👍
    This is Symphonic Metal, the merge of symphony and metal music. Often built in the chapters, and it is music that are composed. When you gets a little further into Nightwish, you might want to look closer into the lyrics also. Deep - very deep poetic lyrics, often complexed with bits from poets or scientists built in or referred to. The Nightwish Army will help you digest and understand - just ask. The lyrics have a red line, but are also written to individually interpreted. The main composer and writer are Tuomas (keyboard) ofyen referred as The Metal Mozart or The modern Mozart - and that's not far off.
    The musicians are extremely tight, never overdoing anything or showing of - it's all about telling the story.
    The singer Floor - is by far - the most versatile, powerful, skilled and talented singer you will ever meet. Her ability to express emotions and passions are beyond words. She can literally make you feel anything - anything!!
    And you have only scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities - 10 - 12% at most, in this song.
    And this one is not even one of their masterpieces!!!
    On this concert she only did old songs not written to her - but she certainly made them her own (she wasn't even an official member yet!).
    From 2015 all the new songs are written to her, and Tuomas has even managed to challenge her a few times (which she loves, the only way to improve she says) - so you have your lifes musically experience heading your way 😉
    Rumors says that Floor is from the Andromeda galaxy, sent to Earth to make sure that the sun raises every morning - there might be some truth in that statement 😉
    And don't worry - no Nightwish song are alike - they will blow you away each and every time.
    By the way - the singers in Symphonic Metal are in general in a league of their own. - but Floor is unique.
    A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 🤘

    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 her. 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. Floorgasm alert! 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 (turns 5 years next march), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.

    There one of the few bands that are better live and as for Floor , she's also better live , i think she is truly Alive when shes on stage , born to be on one ......ive never heard an off performance by her .

    Nightwish has made so much good music. It's just one of many good tracks :-)

    Haha..your face said it all! Welcome to Nightwish! Floor Jansen (Floor from Flora, the Goddess of Flowers and Spring) was only 10 months with the band at the moment of this concert. She stepped in halfway the US leg and halfway NW's worldtour after the band and their 2nd singer parted ways. They made a docu about it "Please learn the setlist in 48 hrs", interesting to watch!
    Wacken is a small village in the north of Germany and every 1st week of August hosts the Wacken Open Air Festival, the largest metal festival in the world. Wacken is situated in a cattle region hence the bull's logo.
    On October 9th 2013 Floor became an official member of the band together with your countryman Troy Donockly, their 6th member, a multi-instrumentalist and singer but famous for playing the Uilleann (Ill-en) pipes, the Irish bagpipes. If you're going down the phenomenal rabbit hole that NW is, you're going to meet him also. Enjoy the ride! Take care and greetings from the Netherlands!

    Nightwish and Floor are a match made in heaven. Check out Sabaton from Sweden. Floor is married to Hannes the drummer. Their songs are all based on true historical war events. Check out Christmas Truce,and make sure to watch the end credits if u want more of Floor

    "Hey, Hey, Hey, Heey!" (+some of her arm movement) = Proper crowd control moment ✌️
    No wonder you were 'absolutely floored'... By Floor atleast 🤩
    Nice reaction män.
    Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮, the Mother Land of Nightwish 🤟😎

    Great reaction and greetings from Finland. The northern division of the Nightwish Army reporting. More Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen please. Just follow the list by Gen. Gabriel. : )

    That was INCREDIBLE. I'm stunned. I literally paused the video midway through, pulled up my library's website and placed a hold on Nightwish's CD "Decades: An Archive of Song 1996-2015." I need to hear more of songs from this group. They are out of this world.

    I agree with Randy..., I usually don't subscribe, after "only" one reaction; but I too loved your honest reaction, to my favorite band NIGHTWISH, and the VALKYRIE GODDESS, that is Floor Jansen.... She was born to sing Tuomas's songs! ❤
    Btw...
    Follow "General Gabriel's list", to fully begin experience NIGHTWISH.
    Welcome to The Nightwish Army 😃

    Totally agree that we don't always like heavy metal but the combination of the angelic voice leading to the power point where the song just goes down to the epicentre of the song just unbelievable that heavy metal can be that perfectly arranged amazing 👏 👏👏👏💥

    Hi Taylor,
    Nightwish Army Amsterdam reporting.
    Loved your commends and not to forget your emotional facial expressions. You're definitely into this music now.
    I must have seen this video about 50 myself and stil can't believe what I see and hear. When I start my day listening to this it really makes my day. Enjoy your Nightwish journey.😀

    I'm from Brazil and I had the same reaction as you did a year ago. I started following the band and they have a vast repertoire of amazing music. I nominate another band for you to meet EPICA.

    Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Floor Jansen may be the best live vocalist on the planet. They have many other songs that are softer and more accessible. These may be more in your comfort zone musically. Gabriel Bardac below will fill you in on Nightwish and additional songs to react to on your channel. He also gives brief descriptions of the general song style. This may guide you to some of the softer songs if you don't prefer the heavier styles they also have in their repertoire. hope to see you again very soon my friend. Be well.

    Nightwish at Wacken 2013 is pretty close to perfection. This one is I think the 13th song out of 15 and she sounds like she just got started.
    Amazing talent.
    Anyone else like the way she says “BEAST!!”? Wonderful 🥰

    Greetings Taylor Family Reactions! Nightwish Army USA, Nebraska division checking in. I enjoyed watching your reaction to Nightwish and our Goddess Floor. It looked like you had an amazing Floorgasm. Don’t be embarrassed, it happens to everyone.
    Follow the wealth of information that Gabriel left for you and you will not go wrong. I look forward to you doing more Nightwish reactions. This is just the beginning of a magical journey for you.

    Try "Yours is an Empty Hope" (Wembley - 2015) where Floor actually does sing a siren call ;).

    I was at the different Nightwish performance, but "GLS" was also played there... THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It feels so good, so energetic...

    Good evening from Finland.
    Warm welcome to the epic world of symphonic metal. Nightwish is definately one of the trailblaizers of this genre of metal music. I could list all the superlatives I know of complimenting their music and Floors voice but reading through the comments below pretty much covers it. Just follow Gabriels list and you cant go wrong. About Floors versatility as an artist I would suggest to go check out her rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro. Enjoy the journey.

  • @peterbell3199
    @peterbell3199 Před 2 lety

    It just never gets old seeing people hear Floor and Nightwish in this performance for the first time. No doubt one of the most amazing performances live of all time.

  • @alexcrouwel6942

    I wasn't there but they are a live band.....and they're not just good or great awesome maybe but out of this world, i think that Nightwish is an artform her voice...you've heard some of it but not all....by far......you didn't expect that.......with Nightwish you always can expect the unexpected and if you want you have a hell of a ride but in a good way, Gabriel had found you and if you follow his list....you can't go wrong and you will have a great experience so enjoy the ride and have fun.....Nightwish doesn't have fans....they have an army and you will get to see a lot of them in your comments section....good luck hahahaha greetings from the Netherlands

    I've watched a gazillion of these reaction videos to this song, yours however is closest to my own reaction when I first heared this song. Absolutely godsmacked, breathless, exhausted and wondering why I hadn't heard this band before. So proud of my fellow Dutch Rock-Goddess Floor Jansen!!
