    Hello Nick Forell ! 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 "

      @davidbentley4032 Před 11 měsíci +1

      I'm not sure that is wholly the case any more than it is in the UK. The main problem with Nightwish it that their songs are so long and they know that themselves. It's still three minutes max if you want to hit the airwaves. Then comes the question 'how do you classify them?' There are few 'metal' radio stations and in any case they aren't really 'metal' anyway, it's more complex than that. And then, how much do they want it anyway? My understanding is that Tuomas Holopainen isn't keen to pursue non-metal fans. They certainly don't employ radio pluggers to the best of my knowledge and if you don't do that these days the chances of ending up being played there are zero.

    "Write a lyric for the song only you can understand" (Elàn - Nightwish) can pretty much sum up a lot of Tuomas lyrics ;)
    The general concept can be clear (and I mean, here it's stated in the title: it's a score about a "Ghost Love"), but then for the actual interpretation you need to dig a lot more, to get used to Tuomas imaginary (the Child, the Beast, the Siren, the Ocean, the Childhood/Innocence, etc) and put there in context (listening more of their stuff, especially starting from their older songs can help building such "vocabulary"), and even then, some things will remain up for everyone to interpret them as they wish :)

Especially since I have met him on two occasions. A very jovial and talented fellow.

    Nightwish music is filled with world class poetry, wonder and fantasy, and an overall yearning to recapture the lost innocence of youth. Welcome to the amazing soundscape of musical storytelling and imagination of the genius a the wheel for Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen (keys). BTW, that was the Dutch Queen of symphonic metal Floor Jansen. She will grab you by the heart and squeeze it as she touches your soul with her magical vocal techniques and stage charisma. So much more to experience Nick. Nightwish has songs from extreme dark metal to Celtic folk metal and everything in between.
    One of the few metal bands you could describe with the word beautiful. Melodies and poetic lyrics to warm your heart and spark your imagination.
    Gabriel Bardac, below. will provide you with copious suggestions and links for additional reactions if you choose to take the journey. Personally, I think you could feel it. I could see it in your eyes my friend. I look forward to the next one.

    The great Floor Jansen... Hallowed be her name. Symphonic Goddess. Yuss! I knew someone would recommend Nightwish. You should watch her duet with Henk Poort doing Phantom of the Opera. My favourite version is the one they perform on Beste Zangers 2019. And that's because you don't get the background noise from the audience and you can clearly hear the whole performance. She is a stunning vocalist. She has a very commanding presence.

    Nice reaction. You just saw Floor Jansen Killing it in the 13th song of the set list of this legendary Wacken Open Air concert 2013. On that 3rd of August everything in the universe aligned and it resulted in one of the best concerts ever recorded. I know it sounds pretentious, but go check it out and you'll see I am right. Nightwish makes symphonic metal and this song is a great example of that, it's very melodic but they also have way heavier and more chunky riffed metal songs. Floor does it all from full operatic to death growls and the bass player can sing also. For a different taste of Nightwish, check out Romanticide from this same concert. Enjoy your explorer journey into their catalogue, we'll be right there with you

    I love watching the whole band having the time of their life. A year before that day they all were in a crisis. Nightwish was having difficulties with their singer Anette in the middle of a World tour, with a lot of pressure and stress. Singer Floor Jansen (Founder and singer of Revamp) was at home for a long time, feeling miserable, recovering from a serious burn-out. Two months later, when Anette left the band, Tuomas called Floor if she could fill in for the rest of the tour. She got on a plane to the United States and learned the setlist of songs in just 48 hours. The rest is history.
    I've known and admired the talent of Floor Jansen since I heard her sing with her first band After Forever in Almere (Netherlands) on may 5th 2004. It's the combination of talent, total dedication to music and performing, also the hunger to learn as much as she can about singing, why she has become such a freaking good and versatile singer. Floor introduced me to Nightwish and the genius Tuomas Halopainen. They're just all so talented and you can see, hear, feel how much they love to share their music.
    As you must have noticed, the Nightwish Army has found you 😁Thanks for your reaction and appreciation! I'll follow you through the rabbit hole.

    When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.1) 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 from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples:
    Misery’s no Crime: czcams.com/video/SNPesLFTnUg/video.html
    Disdain: czcams.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/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 these years. 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 Ghost Love Score 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. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon.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 (turned 6 years last march), and another on its way, a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.

    Your instincts and feel about the Nordic vibes was correct. The band is Finnish, singer Floor is Dutch and multi-instrumentalist Troy is British. Tuomas (keys, composer, lyricist) uses folk things many times in his songs and this was no different (after interlude, when the band came back). Nightwish is very versatile, so there are all kinds of surprises waiting for you. This was epic fantasy movie score. They have an unmistakable Nightwish sound but stylistically they go all over the place.

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 2019 appearance on the Dutch tv show Beste' Zangers solidified my fandom of Floor and she 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.
