Emppu one of the most underrated guitarist ever, he is so good.
i just love his energy and facial expressions.
"Bass player's got range in his vocals!" *dies laughing hysterically, because I know what's coming*...
Symphonic metal
Keyboardist / composer = Tuomas Holopainen
Guitar player = Emppu Vuorinen
Bass player = Marko Hietala
Drumms = Jukka "pirate" Nevalainen / Kai Hahto (since 2014)
Vocals = Floor Jansen (first singer Tarja Turunen, second singer Anette Olzon)
Multi-instrumentalist = Troy Donockley
For me, Tuomas is the brother of Captain Jack Sparrow. And Marko is a viking berserker. :-D
@@hayatofury8580 Let's say he is a skald.
I think Floor Jansen has similar style as Tarja and I like it.
Well, you say symphonic metal, but some of their stuff, especially the pieces that were written before Century Child, are power metal.
@@naphackDT There is no distinct border...
Funny fact, Floor and hannes, her husband ,met on tour, having a sigar, drinking wiskey and listening to Pantera.
is this true!? Oh man.... what a great story!
And Hannes plays drumms in Sabaton 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@TempleMusicAcademy It is true see the following video from minute 18.40
czcams.com/video/Q638R0K7u3Q/video.html
@@TempleMusicAcademy 100%
@@TempleMusicAcademy its true..Floor hereself said so. i think it was couple of months ago in an interview.
she said "... Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore..." my favorite line in the song!
Anyone who reacts this enthusiastically to Nightwish deserves all the likes and subscriptions the Nightwish army has to offer.
“Song of Myself” for even better harmonies. From the same show.
Actually, that wouldn't be a good one. Floor and Marko share the melody in that one, so they are singing the same notes. No Melody/harmony in that one. If you're wanting that, any other song from Wacken would work, especially I Want My Tears Back. though Troy's voice is down in the mix, there's a 3-part harmony there. Better yet, this song at Buenos Aires is a better mix.
Yes this one! More metall!
Also Whishmaster.
The only thing that makes me happier than tackling a new Nightwish fan is seeing my fellow Nightwish Army members have already flooding them and given them love, either in likes or comments. We all know CZcams rewards engagements no matter the type. I loved your first Floorgasm, and cannot wait to follow your journey forward.
Most common phrases uttered during a second Nightwish reaction:
"So, I haven't slept since I discovered this amazing band"
"I'm not sure what happened but my subs and views went from a few hundred to several thousand over night"
"I learned very quickly that there is a Nightwish Army"
"Nightwish army, I am so sorry for comparing Floor to Amy Lee and for pronouncing it Wa-cken"
Thats Emppu for you. Allways does exactly what the song needs no more and no less. Thats why we all love the little hobbit! And also because he allways seems to be enjoying himself having the time of his life whenever he is on stage.
Swedes call that “lagom” - not too much, not too little, just enough.
@@CantankerousDave precis :)
Easiest way to grow your channel? React to Nightwish and Floor Jansen videos. It’s foolproof at this point.
haha promise? I may just hold you to this! Thanks for the comment :)
Temple Music Academy Yes, promise. You should go back to the beginning with Floor. She’s about 20 here with her first band, After Forever. czcams.com/video/3TmKHkQx45U/video.html
@@andycook4757 This is flipping awesome! I had no idea!
Fallout Fan After Forever is amazing. Check out their albums. Prison of Desire, Decipher, and their last eponymous album are my favorites, but Reimagine and Invisible Circles are very good too.
I will fulfill Andy's promise. Hold on . . . there. Subscribed.
As you pointed out the bassplayer's singing skills: Marko Hietala was already pretty much a legend (at least in FInland) when he joined Nightwish in 2001. He founded the Metal / Heavy Rock outfit Tarot back in 1982, when he was 16 years old. He's the (main) singer and Bassplayer of that band, but the band has been on hiatus since 2016, following the passing of their drummer. He's been doing some solo work since then, released a solo album, and he did a tour through Europe earlier this year (just before COVID-19 struck).
They are all acomplished musicians and all of them had or still have other projects/bands. Kai the new drumer comes from a death metal background so you already know he's a beast... Swallow the Sun and Wintersun are amazing bands to listen to if you are into heavy-epic stuff.
Oh, I thought he was in the original Nightwish. So who were in the original band besides Tarja and Tuomas?
@@Ilonah83 I think the band originally started with Tarja, Tuomas, Emppu (the lead guitarist) and Jukka (the former drummer) - that was in 1996.
On their first album, "Angels Fall First", Tuomas did the male vocals and Emppu recorded the bass guitar as well.
Marko (the bass player) joined the band in 2002 after their former bassist was kicked out of the band.
Jukka (the original drummer) had to quit the band because of health issues and was replaced by Kai who were also friends at that time - he then took upon the role to manage the band for a few years.
We'll come back to Troy after you react to 'The Greatest Show On Earth' or stuff from their last album because he wasn't touring with the band during the Wacken concert and wasn't "officially" a member of the band.
@@sovex9331 Thanks! The band has surely evolved since then.
@@Ilonah83 Emppu and Tuomas are the only remaining original members. Sami Vänskä was the original bassplayer until 2001.
I found Nightwish three months ago. I haven't purposefully listened to any other band since. Once you are hooked, there's no escape.
Pantera was life changing for Floor too. And for me. A friend gave me a cassette to listen to back when I was 14 or 15, said "you've got to listen to it, there's something on the B side but don't mind that". The B side was Far Beyond Driven. Changed my life forever! And then in 2000, I met my husband who said you just have to listen to this band: Nightwish 😁. Twenty years later, we're still in this Army (the Anette-period excluded mostly. The songs were still great, but she never really won me over). And then came in Floor, who's career we had also been following since After Forever. That was a match made in heaven! Back in 2015, our first Floor-Nightwish concert was also our son's very first concert (8 at the time). Full circle 😀
Floorgasm: The feeling one gets when listening to Floor Jansen of Nightwish sing.
person 1: bro did you hear the wacken 2013 version of ghost love score?
person 2: yeah bro, that ending gave me the ultimate floorgasm
Edit: For more floorgasms, Storytime (Wacken)
Oh God...ANY song she sings will give you a Floorgasm. Especially the more emotional songs. She cuts straight to the heart.
Alvenmod Foto gay
@@thewalruswasjason101 Not sure what my sexual orientation has to do with anything. For the record I'm not, sorry to disappoint you.
@@AlvenmodFoto he's just trying to be a troll. Ignore modus works best.
So, how does it feel inside the rabbit hole? You will never find out again. I tried, for over 20 years. Discovering Nightwish in 1998 is the best thing that happened in my childhood. And Floor and Troy joining the gang has been the best that happened to Nightwish, in my opinion.
I would suggest the following order of reactions:
1. The whole Wacken live concert. All of it. Really.
2. The poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley arena. With sub titles. This is where the lyrics really matter. Look up the story behind the song. Get some tissues and don't have plans afterwards.
3. The whole Tampere concert from 2015 (or was it 2016?). At least "The greatest show on earth" (20+ minutes of epicness, totally worth to listen till the last second of the video), 'Weak Fantasy' and 'Islander' from that concert.
4. The new album Human : Nature, including the instrumental second CD. 'Tribal' and 'Shoemaker' are my fav songs and 'Ad Astra' my favorite piece.
5 The accoustic versions of 'Nemo' and 'How's The Heart' (from the new album) presented by Floor and Troy for the channel 'Planet Rock'. There you can witness how talent and skill don't require much to create awesomeness.
6. Somewhere in between you can add the duet between Floor and Henk Port that made Floor, Nightwish and Heavy Metal finally known in her home country Netherlands (thanks to the TV show they participated in, 'Beste Zangers', where professional singers sing for each other and are among themselves). 'Phantom Of The Opera', Nightwish version from an old album. And Henk is one of Floors first and most important influences.
7. You can then move on to the solo and/or side projects or previous engagements. Floor with her old bands 'After Forever' or 'Revamp', Marco with 'Tarot' or his solo album (wich is dope). Tuomas, the keyborder, componist and mastermind, with his solo music or the project where he is joined by his wife (with her sweet voice) and Troy. Or when Floor sings with her friend Simone Simons and her band Epica (wich was actually founded by the former founder of Floors former band 'After Forever' who was also Simones boyfriend at that time.).
8. Move on to Epica and Simone and discover the world of Symphonic Metal. And from there to many, many other bands of this genre.
Also, if you like progressive, you might also be interested in Ayreon. A project by a dutch prog rock artist, where he recruits different singers and musicians (though he plays most instruments himself) for his ongoing conceptual albums. Floor has been part of it pretty much since the beginning, and the rest is just a list of some of the best and most known vocalists and musicians of european metal.
From the only concert that was ever held by Ayreon (3 days long concert) I would recommend the song 'Eye of Ra', not the greatest song (in my opinion) but ALL them singers and musicians are on stage. That's a sight to behold. There is not only Floor, but also her little sister Irene Jansen (great rock vocalist) and Marco, this very own Nightwish bass player. And well, too many great people.
Ayreon is *phenomenal* - Arjen Lucassen created something supremely special with that project, and it's one of my favourite endeavours. ...Since calling the project a band would be...slightly inaccurate. Next to that, I'd very, very much suggest Avantasia. Tobias Sammet's rock opera project - there's a lot of the same artists in both, and both are very much worthy of looking into if you like prog/rock opera/ASTOUNDING talent on display.
The bassist Marko is amazing... if you want to hear more of his amazing voice listen to "While Your Lips are Still Red - live" or "The Islander - live from Tempare"
I love how he got so hyped for Nightwish since the last video
You want to hear some pretty cool syncopation? Listen to Shoemaker off their new album. Next concert video: Storytime?
THIIIIS. This this this.
"Who needs sleep when there's Nightwish to listen to?" True. I was going to watch a few reaction videos on Friday around midnight. Just a couple of them before bedtime. Next thing I know, it's 6 in the morning.
You could box them up in "symphonic metal", but I prefer to call it "Nightwish metal".
Guitar player's name is Emppu Vuorinen. He usually plays more melodically, giving to the song, instead of showing off.
I'm a guitar fan myself, and my top guitarists have to be Ritchie Blackmore and Joe Satriani, and altough I don't think Emppu is at the same virtuoso level, he has come to be one of my favorites players. His tone! That guitar just sounds soooo sweet! And he delivers whenever he needs to deliver. Melodic, shred, crunchy riffs. I think he's one of the best out there because he can do it all.
Speaking of which, the singer, Floor, she can sing it all. I do mean all, metal or otherwise.
Dead right, Emppu does not show off or do fancy stuff, which he can do, he does exactly what's required and Tuomas apparently leaves the guitar solo entirely to Emppu, the one bit of writing that Tuomas doesn't do.
And that guitar is his signature model ESP EV-1, the "Emppu ESP"
Agree so much with this. He can shred...but most Nightwish songs don’t require that. I always felt that he doesn’t play an un-needed note...this includes his pinch harmonics as well as his pick slides. Everything he plays just fits. He just amplifies the music not stepping on it. 🤘
I agree with everything they said, but ...
czcams.com/video/gb4QLMfOJTg/video.html
I never get tired of listening to it, too bad it doesn't have good audio
@@Slick-ng5kf Y'know, I think that comes into the category of "professional". How absolutely right you are. Thank you.
I love nightwish since '97 - I'm not a hardcorfan, but what I can say of nightwish, is: this band has been and still is a group of highly talented musicians, who really have fun playing and experimenting music. They absolutely love what they're doing. And they love their audience! Indeed their old singer Tarja Turunen, was the reason I took ten years singing lessons. Have you ever listened to Within Temptation by the way? It is a netherland band from the same aera, same subgenre. In the end of the nineties there were popping up a lot of bands in this style, here in europe. It started with a norwegian band called theatre of tragedy, where the singer had a lovely angel voice and another bandmameber contrasted that with deep beastlike growls. Not all of these bands still exist, like theatre of tragedy. But Within Temptation still remains and is doing great music.
I really enjoyned this reaction-video. You were expeting to both nightwish videos, as I expected you to react. Your metal- and music-teacher background made it even more interesting! Thanks for that great video! And it would be super cool, if you'd ever play in Wacken. I live right around the corner - I'd come and watch your show!
(And sorry for my not really good english, I'm not an native english-speaker...)
Want to listen to the Story of our Universe? Then there's Greatest show on earth, live at Tampere. (And include the credits at this one)
Or more about what the Band's (or Tuomas specific) through? The poet and the pendulum, live at Wembley. Makes some of the hardest Metalheads cry... ;)
In my opinion, Nightwish has a solid staff of professionals, witouth a diva who requires to have the only spotlight. Everyone inputs what is required for the song to be perfect, not what makes him/her personally look "I have sick skills"...
There's something about the way you listen, digest, and enjoy the music that made me feel like I was listening to this for the very first time again. I was at the first live performance of this song and the feeling all came back. Thank you sir, consider me subscribed!
Nightwish generally don't pay much attention to whatever genre people want to place them in. It's why I love em.
Already said. But here´s once more. Nightwish is Symphonic metal. One of the pioneers of this genre.
They were a pioneer of symphonic metal but the genres haven't mattered in a while. It is just Nightwish now and they can do whatever they want. One of the few that can exist with success as their own genre.
One of my favourite things about this song is that it shuts up anyone who says Emppu can't play guitar.
Emppu has often commented in interviews that as he grows older and the rest of the band grows older, it becomes less about showing off and more about playing in service of the song and skill comes into doing that well rather than doing impressive shit that looks/sounds cool and crazy.
Congrats to you! You are now at the very beginning of real fantastic journey.... The first steps into the Nightwish world are done. So, fasten your seat belts, put your headphones on... 3, 2, 1, .....
Another great informative reaction. As for Emppu the guitarist, he only ever plays what the song requires. He's not one of these guitarists that has to show off his shredding skills on every song or do 15 minute solos. Only does what best serves the particular song!
just needs the actual music volume level up mate ;)
Turn your system volume up it's fine for me.
Yea man how do people upload and not check tha video 1st....that happens sooo often
@@Assdafflabaff like that is the solution for everything...? NOPE en zeker hier niet, zotteke! :p
@@Assdafflabaff I just listened to his Ghost Love Score video and the volume was fine, it's much lower here, my headphones and volume are all the way up and it's still quite low for me. Go from GLS to here and see the huge difference.
Emppu is a great guitarist precisely because he does exactly what is needed, whether it is filling in the background, dueling with another band member or shredding a sick solo, he can do it!
In the world of Symphonic Metal...there is Nightwish.
Then there is everyone else.
And I'm with you on Pantera. I grew up with them...literally. Went to school with Dime and Vinny. They will always be missed.
Symphonic metal... Although Nightwish is its own genre 😁
'Storytime' from this same concert Wacken is awesome
'Yours is an Empty Hope' from Wembley... Floor growls 👍
The bassist Marco has a cool voice too. 'The Islander' from Tampere or 'While Your Lips are Still Red' from Wembley for Marco 😁
Natalie Molyneux Don’t forget their cover High Hopes from End Of A Era.
@@derekturner8178 oh yes, definitely! Love that one 😁
hi there, glad you loved our recommendation, fun fact .. you mentioned Pantera, lol Floor loves Pantera, and it was for Pantera that she met her later husband the drummer of Sabaton Hannes van Dahl,. after a concert in the US Hannes was listening Pantera on his laptop backstage, while smoking a cigar and drinking a peaty single malt, Floor heard and saw it and asked can i join the music, smoke a cigar and drink a whisky with you ??? the rest is history ...now they are happy married live at their Swedish Ranch in the woods with horses, a cat and have a lovely 3 yr. old daughter named Freya. my recommendation would be that you meet their sixt member Troy who is duelling in the song I Want My Tears Back..the guitarplayer Emppu with his Ullian Pipes (a kind of Irish bagpipe) but overall nightwish is not an intro verse chorus solo chorus verse a,s,o, standard band..... have a nice day and stay safe grts from a dutch cheesehead, member of the nightwish army, orange legion
LOL loving this. Im a music ed major in college right now and their music is written so well to me. I love metal, but symphonic metal just does something more for me. Also my grandpa blast pantera on weekend mornings. Keep going with these!
What I love about Nightwish is that they only have one guitarist, yet you never feel like their tracks are "missing something" like you can with some other bands. Emppu manages to take care of the rhythm and melody flawlessly.
Watching this video I always say to myself how cool would it be if Nightwish was the half time show at the Super Bowl. No kidding this band should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
I doubt they would ever find the time (or interest) for Super Bowl. And they are already in the Finnish Music Hall of Fame (which is a pretty huge thing in Europe). And they'll get a museum, next year if I remember correctly.
I live about a mile from Dime Bag's home. I did not go to his funeral but I placed flowers on the gate to his house.
Syncopation is one of the only things I remember from middle school music class.
Ah, did you hear that? Every time a bell rings, a new Nightwish fan is born. Hey, dude. Nice reactions. Nightwish Army has invaded, I take it? It's okay, they're a mighty fine lot. So, just fall down the rabbit hole and join us in Wonderland! Floor is our Queen of hearts and our Valkyrie Goddess. That's all you need remember. Please pay her proper tribute and things will work out fine. Enjoy the ride, it's a good one. Peace out and stay safe.
It doesn't matter who you are or where you live in the world If you are hooked on Nightwish music, you are allready included in the NW army !!!
Down the rabbit hole you go...... watch the whole Wacken show, need to experience it as one show. Then check out the whole Wembly show and then the Decades show. I wasn't a fan until Floor joined the band, best singer they have ever had.
The testament to their creativity and range is "The Poet and The Pendulum" Live From Wembly. The story is about Thoumas break with the original singer and his depression. Floor is magnificent throughout.
Romanticide definitely has one of my most favourite Nightwish guitar solos. Emppu did an improvisation of the original solo in this live version. I got hooked on Nightwish only like 12 years ago, so I missed the whole Tarja era, but catched on quick, covering the majority of Nightwish tracks on my channel. Loved to see your enthusiasm about Nightwish, it's so recognizable😄🤘🏼🖤
Toumas writing and "words" are a big part of Nightwish. They are not required but they add another dimension to the songs. Awsome reaction i like to hear about the technical side.
And he is Finnish but writes in poetic and allegorical English. Quite a trick.
As already said, officially Nightwish are symphonic metal, the truth is though they are a genre to themselves.
They've done everything from Classical to Thrash with a detour through Celtic and jazz at some points.
One thing with a Nightwish song is first time you never know what you are going to get but it's always outstanding.
There's a reason they are the best at what they do and the top symphonic metal band in the business, especially live.
Glad you checked this one out. You will find that Nightwish is extremely versatile.
Important note:
When you check out The Poet and the Pendulum. I recommend muting the first few seconds of the song in post production. Some 2nd rate rapper has sampled the choir intro of the song and is claiming copyright on reactions to the original song.
🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 This one is a fun second!! Song of Myself from the same show is a great one!!! The entire show is literally epic!!!!! So we tend to like to guide newcomers through that first and branch out!!! 😉🤘🤘
Sound seemed a little low, but otherwise a nice reaction. And you ain't seen nothin' yet LOL. My suggestion for next song: "Ghost River." Great "dueling vocals" between Marco and Floor, with Marco growling the chorus and Floor's soprano soaring above.
Floor likes Panthera, this is even how she met her husband, afaik.
thought the same as he mentioned pantera. Floor and Hannes met on their tour, but hannes said in one interview that he was backstage drinking whiskey and listening to pantera, when floor came in and told him, that she also like patera. From that moment he knew, that this must be the perfect woman for him.
Hannes is the drummer of sabaton.
@@schwanktest And here I thought it was because she offered to share her cigar with him if he shared his whisky.
@@olgahein4384 don't knew that Floor is smocking, thank you
That's bullshit... they met on Tinder.
Pepenez she isn’t actually, it’s really bad for a singer’s voice and vocal cords, and since she is also a vocal coach she is aware of the harmful effects of it and doesn’t smoke in her daily life. That was an exception😉
Man, you so much fun to watch! :D. As you mentioned in the last Nightwish video, Wacken is where many musicians aspire to be and this concert is no exception. You can choose any song from this playlist and you will be surprised. I personally ask for "Storytime", one of my all time favorite.
I know everyone talks about how Marko (bassist) and Floor complement each other, or how Emppu's shredding skills are sick. However I always like to shout out Jukka (drummer). He was fire in this song. From start to end, he was overflowing with energy.
Every live song by Nightwish is fantastic 🔥🤟
Hi! I really enjoyed your Dimash reactions, but when I saw you reacting to Nightwish, and enjoying their music so much, I decided to subscribe your channel. You won't regret, we, The Nightwish Army are serious and will recommend you all the songs in the perfect order to react.
Floor is our goddess, Tuomas our king, Marco, Troy, Jukka, Kai and Emppu our divinities.
Great reaction, now I'm ready for the next one. Impatient, actually xD
Big hug from Mexico :)
2 long epic songs from Nightwish
a) Poet and the pendulum live at Wembly arena
b) Greatest show on earth live at Tampere
When you get chills and emotional then you have a floorgasme..
And you just met the amazing Marko Hietala! The multi talented awesome metal wizard! And the coolest person ever!
Tuomas' and Emppu's dueling solo in Shudder Before the Beautiful is just awesome.
Poet and the Pendulum.
The magnificence of the band on top of the whirlwind of emotions that will take you on a journey is a sheer joy!
Manly, or not so manly, tears will be shed.
Live at Wembley version.
There is a pretty cool keyboard/guitar battle in "shudder before the beautiful"
Troy is the 6th band member, multi instrument player from England, plays also diverse guitar, fluut, bagpipes
Nitghtwish is from Finnland, the Lead Singer Floor Jansen is from the Netherlands. She has one of the best Voices and her Range is tremendous!
You have got to check out Nightwish performing Yours Is An Empty Hope live at Wembley. You will definitely be FLOORED!
Nightwish's Wacken show is god-tier. I love how perfectly Romanticide works as a second Nightwish reaction because it shows a very different side to them than Ghost Love Score. GLS is grand and epic, and Romanticide is super fast-paced.
For another performance like Ghost Love Score, I'd recommend Ever Dream. Ever Dream also has an incredible 'audience participation' moment.
For another similar to Romanticide, as a lot of people have mentioned Song of Myself is incredible. It's super heavy and has some great pyrotechnics.
For something almost entirely different style-wise I'd recommend I Want My Tears Back. It's a very up-beat, fun folk metal-ish song and also uses another band member who didn't get as much screen time in GLS and Romanticide.
Next Storytime or song of myself 👍
Its symphonic metal :) Welcome to the nightwish party! I think you should definitely check out 'Storytime' at Wacken 2013 next! \m/
"Happy hunting, you douple-faced carnivore'🤘🇫🇮
Nightwish has one of the all-time best crews ever and spends money lavishly on production value including hot and cold gas, pyro, smoke and incredible video LED wall with top notch graphics.
czcams.com/video/J0x8Oec1O7Y/video.html
Emppu is the guitarist and he is severely underated, because as you note, he (like everyone in the band) is subservient to the needs of the current song. He can bust out a mean solo, but rarely does (he has also expressed that he doesn't feel the need to show off as he gets older). If someone is giving you an ordered list....its probably one that has been well built up by the army for introducing you to the many colours and flavours of nightwish. Common choices for next up would be Ghost River, Storytime then Song of myself, all from this same Wacken 2013 show. If you want to see how heavy they can go try "Yours is an empty hope" from Tampere 2015 (hint; pay VERY close attention to how floor sings the chorus ;) ). If you want to see how upbeat they can get, try "I Want my tears back" from wacken 2013. The catalogue of amazing songs is huge my friend.
Nightwish my favorite band. And Floor omg she is the best! Can't wait to see them live again. Their new cd is so great!!
The whole Wacken concert is epic,all songs are great.
The whole Wacken 2013 show. Epic from start to finish. Ghost River is a must.
So a cool thing, outside of the metal scene Floor Jansen was a large unknown in the Dutch music scene. Metal just doesn't have really a mainstream appeal which is weird because we've created some amazing stars in the genre... But that changed when she joined the last season of Beste Zangers (best singers). It's not really a competition, they gather seven diverse Dutch singers and then six of them perform/cover either songs of the seventh or songs important to him/her. Spread over eight episodes you get one episode a singer plus a finale with duets. Floor absolutely floored it... And she's scored several hits with her performances of the show.
So what's so cool about this, it's all live performances but aimed at television so they audio is great. Not only that Floor performs in four languages in about five difference genres. So these performances are amazing to gauge her range. So if you want to explore more Floor, I'd highly recommend her in Beste Zangers.
Floored and Floorgasm are the words you meant. That last note in Ghost Love Score was the original FLOORGASM™...but now that is used in just about every high note or belt she does. That D6 chromatic slide here is called Banshee Vail =)
Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera (Live from End of an Era)
They are Symphonic metal. It's called a Floorgasm. I love her smile when she sings and her stage presence is awesome. Floor is friends with the first singer Tarja.If you want a guitar solo you should watch Nancy Wilson playing Crazy on you 1978 or Barracuda from Heart.
"Your's is an Empty Hope" Live @ Wembley 2015, listen who growls
If you get floored you'll get Floorgsams :-)
It's called Symphonic Metal.
The guitarists name is Emppu.
This song was a bit heavier. For real up-tempo have a look at
-> "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" (Buenos Aires)
This will give you a metal and power blast. And you'll hear more of Marco as well.
There are a couple of great songs from Wacken: Storytime, Song of Myself, Everdream, Last Ride of the Day, Ghostriver, ...
-> "Yours an Empty Hope" from Wembley (have a good look at the growls)
The large epic ones are "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) and "The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley - get to know the background of this song ahead)
One thing you can definitely be sure of: Every song is different, has some surprising transitions, is intense. And none of the songs you're going to discover will disappoint you.
Greetings from Hannover in Germany
Awesome! next react to Nightwish: "Storytime" Official Live video!!! Live at wacken!!!
Hi! Loved your reaction. It's fun to watch how people get 'recruited' :) There is one thing I must say, you said that you don't know the lyrics and you don't even care... I did understand what you meant :) BUT if you really want to have the most out of 'Nightwish experience' you will have to dive in the lyrics. Their lyrics are deep and beautiful and full of meanings and will put your mind to work.
So much yes.
First time I heard The Poet and the Pendulum, I had chills the entire time, without knowing the lyrics. The next time, I had the lyrics to follow along. I was brought to tears.
Tuomas is the keyboard player. He and impu (guitar) are the only ones left of the original line up. Tuomas writes all the music. Soo much talent!
Dude, check out The Greatest Show on Earth live in Tampere. It’s phenomenal
Everyone in this band has mad skills. They work as a team and only do what is required by the song. Some fans didn’t like the new album because Floor wasn’t laying down the epic belts that they have become accustomed to in the live shows, but songs like Music is wicked technical not to mention Shoemaker. I won’t spoil the surprise with Shoemaker. You will need to hear it for yourself. There are a lot of influences in the new album from their whole back catalog. It is much more of a “This is Nightwish” than their past three albums. Fans who are not well aquatinted with their past work may think its a radical departure from their norm, but for me it’s a let’s return to our roots a but with a little more goodness “sprinkled in.”
A song you should do at some point is The Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere. It's a 21 minute epic inspired by the writings of biologist Richard Dawkins.
YEAS THIS ONE!! :D
Absolutely a must!
You, sir... are doing a pretty good job. I like your reactions and your comments. Looking forward for more. Stay healthy, stay safe and have a good time.
Well the spell worked quickly 😄 And now next that Storytime 🤘🏼🤘🏼
"Bass player has range on his vocals, man" ... well, man, you haven't seen anything yet! Marco (bass player) is one hell of a vocalist himself. You'll get in to it sooner or later, as deep as you go to the Nightwish dungeon.
I didn't see your comment immediately, and got concerned. lol
@@TheNeonParadox You need to maintain your radar! Are you sure it's fixed?
@@YuccaEvergreen I'll have someone check on it tomorrow. I know a guy.
I know people call them symphonic metal, but I like to think of them Theatrical metal as every song tells story and entertains.
It is so fun to watch you get excited while watching these videos!! 😄 Hey, a lesser known song but one that has a strong following is their "tribute" to Pink Floyd's "High Hopes"!!! Some reactors think that's risky, but ALL have thought it was awesome after hearing it! Love Marco's vocals and the band's arrangement giving it a Nightwish vibe!
As a long time Pink Floyd fan, I think the Nightwish cover of High Hopes is awesome.

Another Nightwish fan subbed here, great commentary, interesting music concepts.
Next songs usually reacted to, from the same concert:
-Song of Myself
-Storytime
-Dark Chest of Wonders (show opener)
The band is amazing live, they have another 3 awesome shows live, also recorded in professional quality, Tampere and Wembley 2015 (both from the same tour but some songs are different) and Buenos Aires 2018 from the Decades tour celebration of their 20 years, where you can hear older songs with Floor.
Symphonic Metal, and the response you have is called a Foorgasm. Also the co-vocalist is Marco on bass & Emppu on lead guitar
Shout out to one of the top generals in the Nightwish Army, Ann W.
Now that you have started your journey with Nightwish to ecstasy there's only roughly 100 more songs to go from their past plus their new 2020 album "Human.:||: Nature." from which you can find several lyrics videos on their YT channel.
The Greatest Song on Earth, Live at Tampere
Ok you have to hear all facets of Nightwish to truly appreciate their musicianship. Take a listen to "While My Lips Are still Red" and "I Want My Tears Back" and of course "Nemo" with the most famous line up of the band featuring Tarja Turunen on vocals.
Who needs sleep when there's more Nightwish to listen to?
No truer statement was ever said.
Great reaction, thank's!
Thanks for supporting the channel!
Wow, thanks for a great review! Nightwish has a lot of songs and history, especially with its 3 singers that all peaks in different ways! This is one of their more heavy songs, please check out more songs of them, Ever dream is another great song, similar to Ghost love score! They recently released another album with some amazing songs that you should check out!
