    Drummer here :) - totally agree - before I 2018 I'd never even heard of Symphonic Metal, but after I found Nightwish and this concert, Jukka became my newest favorite drummer. If you watch this entire concert (and many reactors have done so as a live stream event), he is giving 110% on every song all the way through the whole 2 hour set and never seems to run out of breath at all, and his double bass drumming is rock solid. "Ever Dream" from the same concert is the perfect example of this - the last minute of that song after the key change the entire band is firing on all 8 cylinders and his playing underneath it is like a freight train coming at you at 70mph and you better just get out of the way, cuz it ain't stopping! This lineup was the best for me and this concert was one magic night. I was sad to hear he had to leave because he has severe insomnia, although he has remained with the band in a behind the scenes managerial role.

    Realistically, Your Is An Empty Hope should be your next analysis, as it has Floor doing Death Growls. Concerning the drummer, what's, really, impressive, I find, is that he performed while experiencing extreme sleep-deprivation that had gone on for some time. In fact, it's the reason that he left Nightwish after this tour.

      @phillee2814 Před 2 lety +9

      @@jessicasopranonotes Absolutely go along with this - every song in the Wacken 2013 setlist is epic! Even their placement in the setlist is worthy of analysis, looking particularly at the fact that headlining at Wacken is huge for a metal band, but that festivals also carry a special difficulty - not everyone is there to see and hear any band in particular, and you may be following some pretty epic bands - in this case, Alice Cooper had just finished on the adjacent stage, so that's a tough act to follow. You have to catch that crowd before they drift off to other parts of the site for refreshments or other amusements in order to gain new listeners and fans (which, of course, is the upside - access to those who would not have listened to you otherwise) The one benefit of headlining is that no other artists or bands are competing for attention on other stages - the headline act is the only one to enjoy this exclusivity (Wacken 2013 had [I think] 5 actual stages and 3 or 4 other venues active during the festival), so attendees can choose which performer or band to go and listen to for any other performance but the headliners.
      I was a little surprised you didn't comment on that gorgeous glissando with Floor carrying on up and holding the top note before descending again, while Marco goes back down an octave before - I think Floor manages 3 full octaves in a continuous glissando going up, and two back down after the sustain, all in one breath and with no apparent change when negotiating the passagio! There must be one somewhere, but she negotiates it so smoothly that it is very hard to hear where (at least for me - but my high-pitched hearing isn't what it was and of course, I'm no expert in the female voice, so you may be able to pick out where she shifts registers).
      And of course, that epic guitar solo when Emppu gets to go full-on Eddie Van Halen and thrown in double-handed hammer-ons, pull-offs, tapping and some amazing prestidigitation with the plectrum to switch between normal alternate picking and finger-picking/tapping. We are more used to hearing him soloing more in the David Gilmour style than the EVH, so this kind of work illustrates his amazing versatility.
      You are spot on about the energy that drummers put into hard rock or metal of most kinds - that is why it is almost normal to see them playing shirtless and shining with sweat, swigging down electrolytes by the quart. Jukka uses as much energy in this 90 minute set as most marathon runners would in a full race, and I bet he goes through drumheads and cymbals at a ferocious rate, in addition to the sticks which are pretty much a disposable item in hard rock drumming. It is certainly a shame that he only had two more concerts left in him after this one, although he is still with Nightwish, working behind the scenes on social media and marketing. He has made a couple of very brief appearances since, but never for full concerts. He is managing to better control his health by working that way, and made a real sacrifice by stepping back and putting Kai forward as his own replacement for "Endless Forms Most Beautiful".
      Marco, of course, is epic vocally and doesn't back off on the complexity of his bass part during his vocals at all. He is equally awesome in both roles.
      And Tuomas, the master poet and composer, putting all this together in his head before working it out on keyboards and separating out the parts for everyone, is a pure genius.
      You'd think that by now, just about every subject would have been covered, yet he still manages to come up with new ideas and approaches for his music. This is, as the title suggests, about the death of a romance, and he uses every trick in the book (and even invents more) to portray how it decays through indifference to hate, contempt, taunting, arguments and rage. As always, the music is a perfect match for the lyrics, this being one of the heaviest songs in their repertoire.

    Every time I see you do a Nightwish reaction, all I can think is the clips you uploaded where you sang portions of Ghost Love Score and how much I want to hear you cover an entire Nightwish song. Your voice is closer to Tarja's (more operatic and has a darker tone than Floor's) but at the same time it radiates with Floor's light and many other great elements that are exclusively yours, so I believe that if you decide to make a cover, it will be amazing!

    A minor point you didn't mention but I found really slick is how thru the vocals you get 2 different matched descending slides and then the guitarist adds a descending slide to the end of his solo. Everybody in this band is a top tier musician.

    When I saw you were reacting to this song I couldn't hit the link fast enough and you didn't disappoint. I love that you not only know what you're talking about but you get excited by it and genuinely like the music. They'll be in LA in May 2022; two shows May 20 and 21. I'm flying to LA to see them on the Friday night show and crossing fingers it's not postponed again. As for the next Nightwish song... vocally there are a couple that really run the gamut, they're longer and knowing what they're about does help but not necessary, especially for a reactor like you who is focusing on the art of the voices, you can always watch again for meaning - not that they won't touch your soul.
    At any rate - "The Poet and the Pendulum" (an intensely moving song that Floor's voice absolutely masters; it's about Tuomas's descent into depression after the band fired their first singer. He used art to deal with the emotions of betrayal, anger, self-loathing, etc. instead of killing himself in real life, he killed a facet of himself in the song - it's brilliant) live at Wembley Arena: czcams.com/video/N4Vfy5yCy-c/video.html and
    "The Greatest Show on Earth" (birth of the Earth and evolution of life on our planet) live at Tampere, my favorite version because of the grandness of the staging, beautiful and dramatic (there's also the Wembley version that is also good but indoors so not quite so grand, but a few different elements from the Tampere version - I'm not going to put in a link for either, you can find depending upon what you're in the mood to do). Can't wait to see what you do next! ✌🤘

I knew Nightwish with Tarja and liked the music, but was not very into it. In 2015 or so I read something about a new singer and watched some videos with Anette and didn’t like her live performances. And then, in the beginning of 2019 I learned about Floor and Wacken 2013. I was always a little late to the party. I bought the ticket for the human.||.nature tour exactly 2 years ago. I bought a ticket for the bullhead city festival with nightwish in Wacken (I planned to go by bike) this year in September. Everything cancelled due to the virus and the dumb people, that are afraid or too lazy to get a shot. I hope you will experience a great concert.

      @@stichhalbierer9329 Thank you my friend. I had heard of Nightwish many years ago, but never took the time to check them out. Then I discovered them on YT about the same time as you in 2019. It was GLS at Wacken. It blew me away. Floor was captivating and brought tears to my eyes and chills all over my body. Since then I cannot get enough of her. I also love the rest of the band, especially Tuomas. He is a genius songwriter. I miss Marko already. I have great respect for Tarja. She is wonderful as well. However, I much prefer smaller doses of operatic singing. Annette is great on her recordings, but she could not provide the charisma and vocal performance required in a live NIghtwish show. I respect both of them, but Floor is the master of all vocal techniques which allows her to build songs to such epic climaxes. Amazing! Be well.
