I’m jealous of anyone who hears Nightwish for the first time. Symphonic Metal can take you places no other music genre can.

[@TurquoiseInk]

Agreed. Ethereal and raw.

[@windsongshf]

I only randomly discovered them a month ago because of a random male cover by Dan Vasc. I was like okay, never heard of Nightwish before, looked them up, Finnish band eh? Hey that's my ancestry! Intriguing! However, I'm a 4th generation Finn, and unfamiliar with symphonic metal or popular music in Europe. Not a metal follower, but a film music fan! 😍 Long story short, I'm now OBSESSED with NIGHTWISH! ☺

[@mikemyon3570]

Totally agree GregBailey, it's just so amazing. To give you my story how I came across them: There was this girl I knew from the internet, back in the day when there were these chat rooms existing. I met her there and we got along. We wrote some letters(!) to each other and finally met one day. She brought me a CD where she had collected some of her favorite songs that I might like, too. It just struck me when watching this video and asking myself "How did I actually come across Nightwish all these years ago?", that it was this girl and her CD. So long story short, I started listening to it and went through the songs until I finally came across Ghost Love Score. What can I say. Everything just clicked and everything just seemed in place in this song like it's supposed to be. I was blown away and that song didn't wanna stop with its ~10minute length. And I didn't want it to stop haha. Every break that came I though the song is gonna be over, but no, it had just gone for 3, then 5, then 7 minutes and kept rocking on. One amazing experience hearing it for the first time, just as you said. Have a nice day all of you out there

[@moonbeam4447]

Great Reaction. Floor Jansen, our Amazon Queen is 6''1" barefoot, 6' 4/5" on stage, although she's recently moved away from heels. She's Dutch and her name is Dutch for flower. She's got a powerful, athletic build, but most of her impact comes from her passionate, sincere, overwhelming stage presence. Her magical voice has been trained to excel in any genre. Her first gig as a metal front woman was when she was 16; is currently in her early 40s and pregnant with her second child. You'll be hard pressed to find a more modest, kinder, sweet person. Lives on a farm in a Swedish forest with cats, dogs and horses and she rides a Clydesdale and is learning dressage. Of course her 'dog" is a giant Irish Wolfhound. Celebrates the end of her concerts with a shot of whiskey and a cigar.

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. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@HeavyTopspin]

The reason you've never heard of them is the sad state of American corporate radio. Metal bands like Nightwish, Sabaton, and many others can fill stadiums in Europe yet be completely ignored by US radio that would rather play whatever autotuned garbage or bland "butt rock" is being pushed by the major labels. I give full credit to the KZbin reactor community for introducing me to countless amazing bands I never would have even heard of if I stuck to what corporate radio and social media algorithms told me I'm supposed to like.

The Valkyrie are the Viking equivalent of an angel. The lady front & center is Floor Jansen. On stage, she is a 6ft tall Valkyrie. Off stage, she is a wife, mother & humble girl next door. As amazing as that performance was back in 2013, she is even better now.

[@schout33]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJvQZXWog6aZbNU Monolith of Doubt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXQfHuhht1na7c Dreamflight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWSQkHlvpderaqs 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGSxepmrZdapqsk '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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX-zlqaCe7mhi8k Disdain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnrUq4OOr814q9k Wild card: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faG9fnl3gb6YfcU 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmoqZ6jjLCAe7c 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:: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHLMgZiJqNZ3Y5Y 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r56UiJZrmdKIj8U 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 KZbin. 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:, kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6LHp3mGd6yBZsU and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5a3qnSQqbtoras As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered KZbin 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 Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4jCZHlnbZuSa7M 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. 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 (6 years old last month), and another on its way, a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.

This symbol 🤘 was adopted into rock by Ronnie James Dio(from Dio the band). He is of Italian descent. He used to see his grandmother use 🤘 all the time. In Italian superstition, the 🤘 is called "le corna"(the horns). When someone gives you the "evil eye"(known as the malocchio), or when you encounter bad luck, negative situations etc., you would use le corna, which represents the bull horns(and the strength/power of the bull) to ward off/fight the evil energy. Edited to correct my shitty translation 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@flaviovergottini652]

"Mano cornuto" isn't correct AT ALL, my friend...😅 First, this Italian gesture is called "LE CORNA" (literally: "the horns"). Second, the word "mano" is feminine in Italian, so the literal (but never used) translation should be "mano cornutA", but again, you will NEVER hear an Italian use these two words to name that gesture!

@@flaviovergottini652 haha thanks for the correction. I am Italian but was born in Canada, and I just started to learn the language. I had a feeling I was wrong. I remember my parents telling me it is "le corna" a while back, but I forgot and used a basic translator lmao

This song, (13 of 15 in their set) is like an appetizer sampler of their styles and sounds. So much still to discover! See below a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances (list of links in the community tab on his YT channel), ready for more reactions! This Wacken (pron: VAW-Kehn) concert is a masterpiece of live recording and performance...you will see many performances from this show. (The flaming bull's skull is the symbol for The Wacken Open Air Festival...its not in any way Satanic) The orchestral music is performed by The London Philharmonic Orchestra, recorded and played back thru the Korg. And the thing w the pipes...is a custom wine rack (based on a piece of art) made of faux pipe organ pipes and converted into a keyboard stand. The man wandering the stage is guitarist Emppu Vuorinen.

I think I heard them shouting her name as she came on stage. They know who she is!

[@TheComicBookJoker]

@@ecbftl She had been touring with the band for about two months at the time of this show. Plus she had been part of another band before this (for anyone who is curious, ReVamp is the name of that band). Considering this is Wacken Open Air, the largest annual metal festival in the world, if any crowd was going to know who she was so soon after joining, it was going to be this one.

[@ecbftl]

​@@TheComicBookJoker I think you are thinking of the Buenos Aires show which was at about 2 months. Floor joined the tour in Oct 2012 in the US before they went to South America and further. This video at Wacken was in the following Summer 2013 European festival concert tour 10 months after she went on tour with Nightwish. Fans took notice after only a few shows how great Floor was with Nightwish. Ghost Love score was added to the set because it was one Floor liked and she added her own flair at the end. All these songs were written for the 2 prior singers. Floor and Troy ( did not play on this song) were announced to be official members of the band shortly after this show. Yes the audience had seen Floor front other bands at Wacken, but this was the first time seeing her front Nightwish at this festival. The audience was loving the show after seeing her a absolutely kill singing in 11 prior songs ( 1 instrumental). In Amaranth, Floor actually got the audience to perfectly sing some of the lyric lines. I think even Tuomas was amazed at the response. The whole concert is magical and was recorded by the great Nightwish video production team. Nightwish even made a movie and there are lots of documentaries.

[@steviesellers]

@@ecbftl Not saying it was the first concert she did with Nightwish , as i said before this is the 13th song of a 15 song , so this wasnt the first song and the crowd had warmed to her which is understandable

[@erickvermeulen9734]

The bull is the symbol of the festival, not related the the horns from the audience. Those were invented by Ronnie James Dio via his grandmother, which she used to ward off evil and Dio used to indicate LONG LIVE ROCK AND METAL. In the 80s some usually shelteredly religious folks thought it was a Satanic symbol, but it truth the opposite was true. Some who can't Google still believe the pagan symbology but now it is universally used in rock and metal to mean ROCK ON. Ironically it is called the devil horns colloquially but just as a identifying reference, not because the intent of purpose or effect is that

I am a Metal Head at heart. I have never been a fan of rap. I love watching younger generations that listen to rap discover a whole other world (mine) in music. By watching all of you react, I came across Nightwish. Now Nightwish is my favorite band with Sabaton a close 2nd (drummer is married to Floor Jansen who is the singing goddess of Nightwish- check out their stuff too!) I was privileged to see Nightwish live at a intimate 5,000 person venue in Toronto at tail end of COVID-19, and be close to the stage. It was a musical experience far beyond anything I have ever seen. Incredible!! I suggest you react to a couple of songs: Listen to Floor Jansen join Epica live to perform one of their songs with them. The harmonies of these two female vocal powerhouses together is breath-taking. It’s “Santa Terra” live with Floor Jansen. Outstanding!! Second recommendation is your world fused with my favorite genre of “Symphonic Metal”. It’s Within Temptation collaborating with Xzibit. You wouldn’t think symphonic metal would work with strong rap, but it is honestly incredible. It’s called “We Run”. As Rap fans & artists who have just started to dip your toes in the world of symphonic metal, this will blow you away. Enjoy!!

[@g.vanede5637]

Floor Jansen is such a great Dutch singer 🇳🇱. Her vocal range is unbelieveble. I'm not a big metalfan, but nightwish is somerhing else... I'm definitely going to watch your reaction. Love your Ren reactions too. Keep up the goed work BP.

[@andybarber8898]

Nightwish Army incoming. Washington State division here.

[@randolphstiney9544]

Welcome to NIGHTWISH the greatest band ever if you decide to continue your journey down the rabbit hole please consider following general Gabriel's list nightwish will never disappoint you

[@BadMoonHorrors]

Floor's voice can make water freeze and also make it boil... simultaniously!

[@johnmc128]

Good one. Floor is a 6' 1'' Siren/Angel/Valkyrie try any other song from the same show Story Time, Song Of Myself , Ghost River, Nemo, Last Ride Of the Day etc. Wacken was Floors introduction to the European fans as the new singer.

[@alienware18]

Loved your reaction... You were more than 10% of the song with your mouth open :)))))))) You will love what's next... If you care to join the ranbnit hole ! Daniel from Romania here !!!! Peace and love to all of Earth man !

[@NZWozza]

To put it in perspective- this is like watching Hi Ren. It’s a good introduction, but you have so many surprises to come if you keep with them. Storytime from the same show would be a good one to do next. And yes, she is a GOAT. One of the best singers of our time, and yes, her husband is freaking huge and hits things for a living. 🤣 Her dog is also bigger than a small horse. Lmao😅

[@JohnSheehan72]

Definitely is one of the most reacted to videos and an early staple for reactors when the whole youtube react thing was taking off.

You have likely summoned the "army". They will tune you up regarding this phenomenal band

[@gematriawombat5051]

Do every song from this concert -NightWishArmy-!

Check out the opening song from this set, talk about energy. Heck of an opener. Dark Chest of Wonders, Wacken 2013

[@gabrielhernandez6442]

Welcome to the world of these amazing band …

[@tbarber863]

You hit the nail on the head ! Floor is the GOAT!

[@miad1866]

Great reaction!! Looking forward to you exploring more of Nightwish and Floor Jansen. Romanticide, Ghost River, Song of Myself and many others are awesome songs of theirs - just follow Gabriel's suggestions! Saw them live in NYC last year - phenomenal!! Keep rocking!

[@_zuri_]

YOOOOO!!! I'm so hyped you're reacting to Nightwish! I've loved your reactions to Ren, so this is an awesome surprise. This is just the tip of the iceberg too >:3

Welcome to the Nightwish army. Greetings from Connecticut

[@scifimonkey3]

Given your reaction to Floor you should do their song ‘Shudder before the Beautiful’ from Wembley UK 2015 which was a concert opener. Shudder before the beautiful more or less sums up your reaction

[@BoothTheGrey]

Nightwish army member and reaction video "freak" from Germany reporting in. Enjoiyed your reaction a lot. Floor Jansen - the current dutch singer of Nightwish - probably would not kick anybody of you. She is really cool and a very nice person - very down to earth although she is such a skilled singer. But... every important thing probably already was written by someone else - especially by Gabriel who we follow in the mission to spread joy and fun by the great music of Nightwish. If you wanna go deeper into that rabbit hole just follow his detailed suggestions. Gabriel is the man. Thanks a lot for your reaction and wish you all the best for your channel and your whole life 🙂

[@JohnSheehan72]

*eating popcorn* *waiting for nightwish army to appear*

[@MattKrogmeier]

I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned it…but you’ve got the Nightwish Army awakened, so you’ll get a TON of messages from them. Specifically, I want to answer about the show itself…Wacken (pronounced ‘VAH-ken) is a metal festival in Germany annually. Given that this was an evening performance, I assume they were the headliner for this night of the festival. The flaming skull is a Wacken logo. As for the bamboo pipe looking thing- that’s just stagecraft, sitting in front of the keyboard rig.

[@markclements7767]

Yes they did headline this festival. Saturday August 3rd 2013. 22:45 - 00:15. Before them Alice Cooper played on The Black Stage 😊

[@kquincy3068]

Wacken open air pronounced VOCKEN an open air festival in a small town in Germany 80,000+ people there and that huge organ you see is actually just a façade to cover up the keyboards Nightwish has worked with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. They are huge in Europe and frankly, they should be huge here.

[@alanfoster6589]

They are currently touring. Just finished Japan, currently in Philippines. Yes, Floor works out. You should have a look at her in the outfit she wears in the Buenos Aires 2018 concert. Guns.

[@k.l.7788]

She also lives in a farm with horses so a lot of work out there.

[@morbiouslenoir]

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!

[@Bethuriel]

Thnx 4 this. Go on with the stuff. Welcome to the Nightwish army^^. Please listen to Song of myself at Wacken. And, i am sure this will leave you speachless, the Gratest show on earth at Tampere. Due to Marco's voice , the wiking bassman, give The phantom of the opera a try, the"old" Nightwish singer Tarja will show her quality as well. Peace from Germany and please stay save

[@berrytharp1334]

The Metal Goddess, Floor. Such a bad ass. Easily, one of the best singers alive. I honestly don't care for her pop work, but when she has a great composer and writer behind her she can interpret and perform it better than any.

[@thesoffen48]

The crazy thing for me, is that this is live and it sounds so clean.

[@TimoArula]

Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. And the master of this magic is: Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people. The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. We hope, that there is more coming. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

[@SandraMaschke]

Wow, Black P., now you are stepping completely out of your comfort zone! I can't wait to see your face with this one. Or is it an April's fool gag? In any case, cheers from Germany 🤘

[@dmj4966]

I see Gabriel has checked in, so you'll get his info. Like Pink Floyd, all their songs different (from metal growling to classical Opera and all in between), all still clearly them, and all "new favorite" ....until the next one ...

[@danielisrael1788]

Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, excellente réaction les gars à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Faites le festival du Wacken 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper. Les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe, vous venez d'écouter la chanson 13 sur les 15. Je crois qu''un peu de Romanticide , qu'il est temps d'une petite histoire comme Storytime ou de commencer plus doucement comme dit Floor avec Ever Dream...... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel devait arriver sous peu, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec un très bon audio. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir........ Bonne écoute et un nouvel abonné ici.......

[@vmaxbabe]

Kudos that you, as rap/hip artists, dive into other music genres. I call you musical explorers! And what gems are there to find. Nightwish is the most popular symphonic metal band and has been for many years. They do world tours regularly (currently in the east (Japan, Fillipines,etc) and south america). Although metal is their core music, it is always melodic, epic and divers. I have yet to hear a bad composition from them, or a bad performance. Saw them live last November and it was magical. Do yourself a favor and dive into their catalogue. As a reaction, please, yes. In private, I recommend you do. Just last week I stumbled on ine of their gems, it brought tears to my etes, so beautiful. That’s another thing, their music always has a story to tell, an emotional rollercoaster tomexperience. You saw tge crowd at Wacken respond. Well, besides Wacken there are many many live shows to explore with crowd going wild! Enjoy!

[@Kelsea-2002]

🤣Oh you sweet clueless. If the harmless warm-up program of Nightwish and Floor makes you so stunned, what happens when you see them in action? No matter what song you watch from them, it will knock you out of your shoes! From me you get a subscription because I really want to see your faces when you get knocked out again and again by my favorite band. Greetings Kelsea - Nightwish Army Germany

[@MeanStreakGaming]

They still perform, just saw them live on December first 2022. ABSOLUTELY going again. Next up you need Nightwish: Romanticide. You're welcome. Also, when you see the ease with which the singer (Floor Jansen) holds the crowd in the palm of her hand. Now the bombshell, she had been in the band for less than a month when this concert went down.

[@miimai7283]

Welcome to the Army brothers 😅 Lovely reaction.. we all have gone through these same emotions mouth wide open 😂

[@121579jester]

Waken festival is one of the biggest music festivals in the world.

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

I'm not sure whether it's the most reacted to video _in general,_ but it's definitely the most reacted to _music video._ There are a few different uploads of GLS, not all reactors go with the same one (and some pick a slightly older performance), so the views get spread out a bit 🙃 Oh, and you can "thank" the music industry in the USA for not having heard the name before. It's not a band they have much control over, so they make it pretty damn hard to book any good venues, let alone get good promotion. And forget about getting played on the radio or so. NW _have_ been huge in Europe and South America for over two decades. [edit] Oh, and no, she's not dating someone like The Mountain, but her husband has access to not one, but two tanks... 😜 She doesn't work out or anything - she just does a lot of work on her farm; during the pandemic, she put out a few videos about her life, including one where she's hammering in some fence posts with a sledgehammer 😁

[@ecbftl]

Hannes has tanks? I know he likes to ride their 4 wheelers on their remote rural ranch and does military themed music videos with Sabaton,( Floor says he also likes to cook and vacuum), but tanks?

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

@@ecbftl Sabaton has two tanks. As Joakim once answered in a Q&A about whether it's true that they own a tank: "No, it's not. We own two." 🤣

Great reaction guys! I'm late to the party, so I won't repeat what the rest of the army has already told you. This is one of the tightest live bands I've ever seen - they are all simply phenomenal and overflowing with talent. They will not disappoint you, and all of them are genuinely amazing human beings, and kind. No ego anywhere in that band. I hope y'all continue down the Nightwish rabbit hole! Looking forward to it! Ive subbed for the ride! Blessings to you both! Nightwish Army, Alabama division, present and accounted for🤘🏻 PS - Wacken Open Air (pronounced Vah-ken) is one of the largest open air metal festivals in the world. It takes place in the small town of Wacken, Germany. The rest of the year it's a cattle field - hence the bull logo you see. After this festival, it returns to a cattle farm/field until the next year when the festival returns.

[@mooncritter721]

A little history. Floor Jansen the singer joined this band two weeks before this show. This is her first show with the band in front of 80 thousand people and filmed on DVD. Talk about pressure! This woman is a born Rock star and proves it here in this show. No one else could have the stones to do this on the first gig. This whole concert is perfect! She killed it on every song! This is historic!
