Powerful stuff . Did you notice, how Thomas hammered his instrument with a fist...hot damn 🤘😎🤘!!!! Tuomas, Nightwish's songwriter, wrote this one night in a fit of rage, and had to edit it later on to get rid of all the profanity. It's an angry song directed toward the greed of mankind, and their stupidity. This song is from Tarja era, and of course Floor gave her own twist to it , and it was soooooo AWESOME !!!!! Floor is able to handle both the Operatic songs from the Tarja era and the more Pop/Rock style of Annette, so that the band was able to have great live concerts doing a "Decades" tour with so much of their older music mixed between the different eras pre Floor. Also I think everyone wants "Live" Nightwish because the live shows were with Floor before Tuomas was able to write new music for the Floor era. This song was from the Tarja era and Tarja did a great job with it as it was written for her style, but it's great that Floor can also cover this music from the early days of Nightwish. Floor was, is, and always will be, a force of nature !!!! NWSU/FloorFan .

I'm glad that Tuomas decided to keep the song, even if he had to tweak it. I've found some of my best creative stuff can come out of my anger. Also, it helps me calm down, lol

The Warning is worth a look. 3 talented sisters from Mexico who can rock the house down. Evolve, Sick, Choke, and their cover of Enter Sandman are all killer. Teatro metropolitan concert has great live performances.❤

To understand the angst behind this track, u gotta understand the mindset of keyboardist/ songwriter Tuomas Holopainen in 2002 when he wrote this record 'Century Child' when Tarja was the singer ... U can watch the Nightwish documentary 'End of Innocence' ... which was filmed in 2003. Tuomas talked at length about his struggle w/ fame and responsibilities. A friend even remarked that after he read the lyrics on 'Century Child', he called Tuomas to ask if he was OK. Tuomas was a songwriter and composer at heart, and his desire to write and record music was what led to the creation of Nightwish in the mid-90's... he enlisted his friends to play the songs he had written - Tarja (vocals), Jukka (drums), and Emppu (guitar)... They recorded their first album 'Angels fall first' before they had even played a live concert... Tuomas recalled his enthusiasm when he first heard his song 'The Carpenter' by Nightwish on Finnish radio. Nightwish finally booked a concert in Finland, hiring Sami Vanska on bass, and played live for the first time... and claimed they were so terrified that none of them moved on stage. But then came the blowback... the press savaged the first Nightwish album... One review claimed that Nightwish "had zero commercial potential..." Tuomas was still determined to exceed the debut album and recorded the 2nd album 'Oceanborn' in 1998... By 1999, Nightwish was booking tours in Europe and the record was selling decently... The label wanted a ballad single, so Tuomas wrote and recorded 'Sleeping Sun'. In 2000, Tuomas wrote the 3rd album 'Wishmaster'... but the experience was not enjoyable. With pressure to make a follow-up to 'Oceanborn, he now had the record label making demands ("We gotta have another ballad... we need singles... you gotta meet the deadline... You gotta get back on tour..." etc.) Tuomas felt like he had 'lost his innocence'... He was no longer making music to express himself; he was making music to sell to their growing fanbase and their record label. The third album 'Wishmaster' was a huge success in Europe... and along w/ success came troll and haters... For every Nightwish fan they had made, there were more people in the press, in the public... trashing the band and his music. The toll of touring into 2001 was wearing Tuomas out as they released a live video 'From wishes to eternity'... Tuomas was also tasked w/ keeping the band together, making all the decisions. He decided to sack the bassist Sami and hire Tarot bassist/ vocalist Marco Hietala - Tuomas wanted Marco to do the band's male vocals, a decision that upset Nightwish fans initially (Marco recalled singing on stage and the audiences were literally like, "Who the eff r u and how dare u sing next to Tarja, our queen?") Just like Kurt Cobain of Nirvana discovered that his newfound fame was crushing his soul, Tuomas also felt the same way in 2002... he impulsively announced that the next Nightwish album would be the last... Tarja decided to use the time off to attend university and eventually married (She did not appear on the 2003 Nightwish documentary, apparently signaling tensions between her and the band). In the meantime, Tuomas poured his angst and depression into the songs that became 'Century Child'... the songs were almost like he was mourning a death in himself, songs like 'End of all hope'... 'Dead to the world'... 'Bless the Child'... 'Slaying the dreamer'... But there were also songs of hope - 'Ever dream'... 'Forever yours'... It was a very dark Nightwish record and Marco was prominently featured on male vocals for the first time. Nightwish did not tour much for this album, but it was another success. But it was beneficial for Tuomas and he felt inspired to write again... the next album 'Once' (2004) was a rebirth for him. Nightwish was now touring the world on that album. Unfortunately, the drama involving Tarja and her husband led to her being fired in 2005. Tuomas felt disillusioned once again, but was able to pour his anguish and uncertainty into the 2007 album 'Dark Passion play' - the first album w/ Anette Olzen on vocals, and Tuomas was finally at peace w/ the dynamics and workload of the demands of Nightwish.

[@AmericansLearn]

Oh wow. That's incredibly detailed. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

@@AmericansLearn Dark Passion Play contains a VERY angry song directed at Tarja's husband, but it was never performed live. Marco sang it. It's more metal than anything NW has ever done and the most angry song ever. There is no live performance, but you should find a lyric version and react to it - it's stunning.

[@johnblanchette4324]

Absolutely love this band!!! Thanks gorgeous ❤

[@NickBR57]

2 hours into a concert and she can sing this high energy song and finish with rapid triplets. Superb. A song about hate. Marcos call and answer with Floor hete is fantastic.

[@Tarkus_]

I'm going to assume that "I Want My Tears Back" from the same concert is on your list. I would also like to assume that it's NEXT on your list. 🤔

[@wannabedane4046]

Hey Lauren. Me like these lyric lines "Dumb kid, living a dream Romantic only on paper" and the musical break down thereafter - even with "psycho" notes. Another great song made her own by Floor, although Tarja did it first. one can see the whole band is having fun. The drums, bass, guitar and Tuomas on keyboard.

[@mikeleone1347]

That guitar part is called a "whammy bar". BTW, if you use the keyboard, you can skip back or ahead by 5 seconds for each keypress of the left or right arrow key. That can be easier than scrubbing with the mouse ...

[@ejllamobeolan5025]

Whana hear Nightwiish's Heaviest, most angry song. So angry they'll Never play it live. (Master passion greed) you won't find a live version other then a fan made compilation.this is Really a must hear....

[@markclements7767]

Hi Lauren, greetings from UK I am enjoying your reactions more and more, and I really look forward to seeing a new reaction pop up 😉 Don't you dare stop! 😁

[@nanns77]

My favorite performance in this concert.

[@chriso6719]

Another older song. Tarja era, from the 4th album Century Child, 2002. The Dreamer is the songwriter. It's about a songwriters feelings when their work is harshly criticized. Anger is certainly one of those feelings.

[@TheYannir]

Every songwriter is a god of their music.

[@robertsheeler321]

Tuomas rebelling against record label trying to control his writing style in the early days of Nightwish .

[@AmericansLearn]

Gotta love it when an artist fights back

[@rnowak85]

Great reaction. Yes, lots of anger in this song. I always thought it was about the greed of the music industry but another commenter provided a quote from a history of Nightwish (Once Upon a Nightwish I think) where Tuomas said the song was written after a night hanging out in a bar with his then girlfriend. All these guys were coming up and hitting on his girlfriend, even though many of them knew they were together. He wrote out the song in a fit of raqe when he got home that night. He later had to go back and edit out all the profanity.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

Empuu's "little wiggle" IIRC that called a whammy bar. You can tell when Floor is about to reach for the rafters, she plants her feet. I have heard it is good to right letters to people that piss you off and burn them. Now what to do with the letters?

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

You want angry Nightwish? "MASTER, PASSION, GREED"

[@gerrygrouwe70]

I just saw that afas live by floor is going on in december in Amsterdam could that mean that floor gave birth to her 2 child. I hope we will find out soon

[@NickBR57]

A shame you never mentioned Marco's vocals. Without those, this would not be half as impactful But you have to say, 2 hours unto what was a a high energy concert, thise staccato triplets at the end are magnificent. Yes, a very angry song ("I truly hate you")

[@armyveteran101st]

Let’s settle the debate… Floor isn’t necessarily “better” than Tarja, but she is definitely more versatile. I like Tarja a lot, but all we ever got from her was operatic, and with Floor we get good quality operatic as well, along with metal, pop, etc. That is why I prefer Floor, but that doesn’t mean that I like Tarja any less. The one I never really liked was Annette, whose voice was not well suited for Nightwish at all. She’s weak even in the songs that Tuomas wrote specifically for her. Floor takes those songs to a much higher dimension.

[@christophschmedes5975]

Maby you finde the Nightwish Songs fro 1990 to 2000 woth the simger Zarja and samy on the Bass tray it

[@ukaszboroda3333]

Check the version with Tarja. This song was made for her voice. I love Floor and it sounds good but Tarja's version is even better, she is a fully trained opera singer and has a deeper voice.

[@jelenacvetkovic]

Yeah, I love Tarja's version better, too.

[@Selvetarm77]

interesting, none of Tarja's supporters write that this is the WRONG version, unlike Floor's fans? although it was originally written for Tarja. Why do Floor fans always want to prove that Floor is better for no reason? )))

[@claydo8117]

Tarja versions are always the wrong versions! And your wrong, I always see “Tarja people” say Tarja versions are better.

[@Selvetarm77]

@@claydo8117 you are provoking floors bot. No more. So your opinion is flushed water in wc. I listen Nightwish when you probably even havent knew what is term music is. What is in your "new fans" heads when you write this sh..it? End discussion.

Tarja's original version is even better than this🔥
