Lauren, thanks for deciding to keep reacting to Nightwish music, new subscriber here for that, on both of your YT channels :) All the best, from Romania!

Ghost River is one of those songs where Marko and Floor together are completely magical. Well, come to think of it, every single song they do together is magic. Marko’s voice just does things to me.😉

[@richardmead5969]

I like Marko `s singing also

[@martchristy9981]

Well, that's it! You reacted in a positive manner to two of the best Nightwish songs! Didn't you know? That means you are selected for subscription into the Nightwish Army. All you have to do now is carry on listening to them and reacting in a true manner. It's almost certain that you'll run your own local company soon. Tell your friends about this experience - nothing bad can come of it! Well done. Keep up the good work! BTW You look lovely!

[@richardmead5969]

true

[@Kelsea-2002]

Like Queen and Pink Floyd, Tuomas knows how to write and compose great songs for eternity. The music of these 3 bands will still be a pleasure to listen to when you can't remember all the others! You don't hear Nightwish songs - you feel and experience them with every fiber of your body.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked, and greetings from Finland! ⛄❄👍 (P.S. Emppu didn't drink water there, than he took a little sip of his favorite "Corona" -beer🍺)

[@jerrymail]

The Enchanted world, I would say 😁

Heehee. It looked like a plastic water bottle to me. Later I noticed the beer, tho I don't think I mentioned it. The beer does make more sense.

He is notorious for being a prankster on stage. The other guys sometimes get him back by secretly replacing his Corona with apple juice. Emppu hates apple juice!

[@mvellis3863]

Great reactions!! Nightwish is a very deep rabbit hole, where every song is different with unexpected twists and turns. Virtuoso musicians, a genius songwriter (Tuomas, the keyboard player whom many call the "metal Mozart," is a master of emotion and melody), and the best lead singer alive today (Floor can sing anything, from operatic highs to full metal growls). I don't think I can say this about any other band, but I've never heard a bad song from them (at least not live with Floor). To get a sample of their diversity, I highly recommend any of these live performances (I would stick to live videos, Nightwish is one of the greatest live bands ever: (From Wacken 2013): Romanticide, Storytime, Ghost River, Amaranth, Song Of Myself, Last Ride Of The Day, Ever Dream; (From Wembley 2015): 7 Days To The Wolves, Yours Is An Empty Hope, Nemo, Elan, My Walden, While Your Lips Are Still Red, Shudder Before The Beautiful, The Poet And The Pendulum; (From Tampere 2015): Sleeping Sun, The Islander; (From Buenos Aires 2018): I Want My Tears Back, Dead Boys Poem, Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean; (From Tampa): Sahara; (From Hellfest 2022): Tribal, How's The Heart.

If you want to hear Floor's lower range, she did a guest appearance with the band Epica and the song is "Stabat Mater Dolorosa". The song is a very old hymn. The Epica singer, Simone Simons sings the soprano part and Floor sings the contralto part. Simone and Floor are good friends.

[@silverblack5475]

Another Soul Snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess. Fantastic Reactions , just the Tip of Nightwish/ Floor , she can do anything vocally .....you would probably love Floors first two bands After Forever and Revamp as well .......shes been a vocal beast since the late 90s .

[@MrDempmeister]

Hi and welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole! I hope you will enjoy your stay with us. Ghost Love Score is my favorite aong of all time. And this is one of the absolute best performances. I iften get chills when I listen to good music, but when she hits that last note I get chills from head to toe, my eyes tear up and I have a hard time breathing. When I heard it live last November in Amsterdam I legitimately thought that I was going to faint, it was that strong of a reaction. And good on you catching Floors short growls in Ghost River. Most reactors completely miss it and I myself didn’t notice it for quite some time. If you want to hear more of her growling and harsh vocals you should check out “yours is an empty hope” live from Mexico City. Have a nice day and I hope you keep doing more Nightwish reactions!

[@brianwillson9567]

Welcome to the Nightwish army. After over 25 years they are still unknown by so many people, particularly in the good ole US of A. Keep on board for the incredible journey which is Nightwish, you will not regret it. As regards GLS, it is impossible to have too much of this performance. As an aside GLS is a Tarja song and Ghost River an Annette song. Ensure your appreciation of Nightwish covers the two previous singers as well as Valkyrie Goddess, Floor Jansen.

[@PaulOutdoors]

Thankfully Lauren I was persuaded to give Nightwish with Floor a watch and listen live ("The Poet and the Pendulum" - Wembley 2015) around 15 months ago having not previously heard of them and OMG I was blown away and have been ever since. At 57 years old I thought that I had heard it all from every musical genre but NO. Nightwish with Floor came along. Phenomenal band. Thank you for reacting to these two gems, two of so, so many. Paul 🙏😊👍❤️

[@brianwillson9567]

You are far from the first and will be far from the last to be blown away by Floor and Nightwish. For me it was this performance of GLS at the age of 68 , eighteen months ago. And yes. Th Wembley Poet was Floor’s performance of a lifetime of Tuomas magnum opus.

[@PaulOutdoors]

@@brianwillson9567 No idea Brian why I'd not heard of them previously.

[@davidbentley4032]

@@PaulOutdoors Because Tuomas wants them to stay within the metal fraternity. No mainstream festivals, no media. You could ask any BBC DJ and there's a fair chance they won't even have heard of them.

[@rickphil9999]

Hello, AmericansLearn. Nightwish Army Phoenix new subscriber here for you. I loved your reactions to these two songs from the legendary Wacken 2013 performance. Yes, Floor can do anything with her voice. By the way, the guitarist you noticed roaming the stage and having fun with the crowd is Empuu Vourinen and he is the jokester on Nightwish. In a later song from this same concert "I want my Tears Back", he hatches a plot with our multi-instrumentalist, Troy, early on and then later in the song, cuts behind Floor and switches off her In-Ear monitor on her hip. Floor reaches back to switch it back on, but when Empuu cuts behind her again, she stares him down and says, "I'm watching you" as she towers over him. This band is so much fun to watch. My wife, Carol, and I got to travel from Phoenix to see them live at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on May 18, 2022. The show was spectacular. Keep the Nightwish live performances with Floor (the third and current female lead vocalist) coming.

[@AmericansLearn]

Thanks for the info about the band! I love to hear about stuff like that. Seeing them live had definitely become a bucket list item for me.

Yay great reaction! "Ghost Love River Story" is such an epic song by Nightfish. That Wancken 2013 show is a treasure trove of stellar performances. To name but a few besides the ones you just did: "Gorytime", "Dark Chest Of Blunders", "Ever Cream", "Romantiphile and of course their epic show closer "Last Bride Of The Day". My personal favourite would be "7 Days To The Whales", but that's another great concert (Wobbly 2015). Just stick with this gig for a while and you can't go wrong. Cheers from Amsterhavn! 🤘

Great reaction. Keep in mind that all songs on this concert was written for the two previous singers in Nightwish. Floor replaced the second singer, Anette, mid US tour in October 2012. She makes a fantastic job on all those songs considering the short time she had been with the band. You have only scratch the Surface of the Nightwish rabbit hole yet. 😊

You talked during Ghost Love Score that Floor's singing was "siren-like", and in the song Ghost River, that is exactly what she is doing, singing as a siren, to get them to cross the river. Nightwish with Floor and Marko was just the best band of the 2000's, period.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

GLS was the 13th of 15 songs in the set list. GR was #4. GR was envisioned as a discussion/fight of sorts between the Devil and Mother Gaia (according to Tuomas, the author). It was written for vocalist Anette Olzon. She was fired at the end of 2012. Floor was asked to take over the rest of the tour. Post tour, she was asked to become a band member. WOA tickets sell out a year in advance. We expected to be seeing Anette (though she had been ill a lot). When Anette was fired and it was announced Floor was stepping in for the concert, most had a fairly positive view (many of us had seen Floor in other bands that opened for NW). However, for my part, I was amazed at how perfect she fit in. It was like she was born for the concert. It was EPIC!

Songs that don't use the title directly in the lyrics are rare and usually most intriguing. Like Maidens' "Revelations" or Delains' "Sleepwalkers dream"

[@ivanvanrooy9551]

Hey Lauren, bandmembers are: keyboardplayer and composer Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, bassplayer/vocalist/backingvocalist Marko Hietala, drummer Jukka Nevalainen, multiinstrumentalist/backgroundvocalist Troy Donnockley (he's not around in these songs but you will meet him on you're journey) and last but not least vocals Floor Janssen. This was the setup at Wacken 2013, nowadays it's a little changed. Drummer Jukka left active duty to be replaced by Kai Hahto due to him suffering of insomnia but he's still busy behind the scenes for NW. Also bassist Marko left the band completely due to mental health and a sort of dispise of how the band was treated businesslike, he's replaced by Jukka Koskinen. All bandmembers are finnish except for Troy, he's scottish and offcourse Floor who's Dutch!

Bohemian Rapsody is a score too. Just like, the name says it, Ghost love score. Nightwish are great story tellers. Even if you didn't know or heard the words, they take you on an adventure emotionally. And seeing them have so much fun on stage, makes everything even better. If you ever gonna react to more Nightwish songs, make sure to always pick the live version. :)

[@honorarythamesman5732]

I'm a massive NW fan and I know you've received loads of Nightwish song requests - I thought I'd offer some similar Symphonic Metal bands as you requested! Firstly, a German Band called 'Beyond the Black' who don't get much love on KZbin for some reason - maybe 'Hallelujah' live in Japan, or official videos of 'Winter is Coming' or 'Is there anybody out there'. Secondly, a band called 'Kamelot' - I suggest 'Sacrimony' live version or 'Liar ,Liar' official video. Very happy to sub you - enjoyed it greatly 😊

[@AmericansLearn]

Thank you!!

[@wannabedane4046]

Welcome to NW and the world of symphonic metal. Now, you've seen about 40% of Floor's vocal capacities. The whole band work as a unit. No prima donna here. Everybody shines at time. Emppu the guy walking around just plays what the music need - no more, no less, he's the fun guy who love pranks, but also goes around make sure his mates are OK.

[@Grizzlox]

The guy who walks around and makes jokes is Emppu (Vuorinen). He is co-founder of the band together with Tuomas (Holopainen). The bassist and 2nd singer is Marko (Hietala). On Drums Jukka (Nevalainen) and not actually on stage: Troy Donockley from Great Britain. He is a master of pipes and much other instruments. I think, you will see him soon.

Part of that familiarity that may have pulled you out of it us a reflection of how comfortable these guys are with each other and how much they enjoy what they are doing. Floor actually commented that him walking around and kind of.chrcking in with everyone was pretty special.

[@sonofthesea3298]

Rumours has it,Nightwish had Floor Jansen on theyr radar already after Tarja left Nightwish,but because they had such good friendship with the band members of After Forever,they choosed to not risk ruining theyr friendships over asking Floor to join them already then. That speaks volume to Floor. Also,after Tuomas called Floor being in her sisters wedding,and she accepted from just recovered from a burnt out state of mind,Tuomas went public announcing that Floor would be the third and FINAL vocalist of Nightwish,clearly hinting to that they finally got the vocalist they had been dreaming of for so many years already,and that they were tired of losing theyr lead vocalists,drama and going through auditions. Floor Jansen is the only woman i have crushed on twice,first time it was so far back in time i did not have internet access,nor did i have my own cellphone with internet access (i had a cellphone but just for calls and sms,thats it) So i could not search for her,the band or the song title. Much later on i learned to know that the song i had been watching on either Vh-1 or Mtv (cant remember wich),was Energize Me and the band was the band she joined as just a teenager still,After Forever. (Yes,same band with strong friendships with Nightwish) They released this song after one of the founders Mark Jansen (not related to Floor,although they both have long dark hair,and look somewhat alike facially lol) departed to create another band with Floors bestie,Simone Simons. The band is now known as Epica. Energize Me was Floors and her then boyfriend (and founder number 2 of After Forever) Sander Gommans love song to eachother,were both co-wrote on the song. If you ever go down that road,just know that Nuclear Blast Records own official upload has not stood the test of time well,after YT changed theyr resolution system. So its super blurry,but worry not. A fan has found the old original video and let an AI remaster the picture quality: After Forever (with Floor Jansen) - Energize Me (AI Remastered Music Video + Lyrics) Second time i crushed on her was just in front of this concert you are reacting to here,Wacken Open Air 2013. I heard talks about a third vocalist for Nightwish,and at the time i had given abit up on the band,i felt like after Tarja it could never be the same,and certainly not better. But i was wrong,sooooo soo wrong! So when i decided to give this vocalist a go,give her a chance. It took me awhile (a few minutes),but then i start to recognize her....the female vocalist i had given up trying to find out information about,was once more in front of my eyes,and now they gave me her name on top of it. I felt flows of tears coming down my chins,as i once more heard that voice and saw that beauty. I was back in with the band in an instant! I could not believe that it was HER,with Nightwish permanently now. And i have only crushed on someone 3 times in my life,wich tells you that i dont go crushing easily on someone. And Floor holds 2 of thoose 3 times. Everything Tarja and Anette did before her,Floor came in and perfected! To me shes the most versatile and best live vocalist out there! 17:17 The Wanderer is Emppu (pronounced "Emm-Pooh") He has a petname from the supporters too,they call him The Hobbit because hes soo short. He is the prankster of the band,pay attention to him in every video you do,he is always eyeing to do some sort of shenanigans,he especially loves to mess with Floor as he knows she takes it with a smile and laughter,but also will set him straight. A perfect example there is: Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back from Wacken Open Air 2013. If it hadnt been for Emppu constantly making people laugh within the band,im sure they would have a much harder time surviving as a band,especially with all that happened before Floor Jansen and Troy Donockley came in permanently (Troy is the British gentleman that plays more instruments then other people own socks,he wished to join permanently too right after Floor accepted to be theyr permanent lead vocalist,he was on the fence of joining earlier as he did not like Tarja much as a person,and im sure he wasnt convinced with Anette either,although he worked with them all on studio recordings and are in some of the music videos,prior to Floors arrival) But yeah,Emppu will always make you smile and laugh,as he looks at life in a positive way,he brings light into the darkest places,he is amazing. 17:52 Thats Marco aka The Viking,he plays both bass and guitar,thats why often you will see him with either his Viking Axe shaped bass,or his custom made double neck (bass and guitar all in 1) Tuomas Holopainen aka Metal Mozart aka Jack Sparrow (when he wear his hat,people say he looks like Jack/Johnny Depp lol,at least from a distance) The guy on the drums is Jukka Nevalainen aka The Pirate,he is my favourite drummer of alltime,just incredibly interactive with the crowd,passionate,has great showmanship with his constant drumstick spins,while not missing a single beat,he is just a complete package. Sadly this was his last big official concert for Nightwish,as heavy insomnia had bothered him also prior to this for some years already,so he needed to take a break to try and recover from it.

Yes, the live version of 'The Devil and the Deep dark Ocean' from Buenos Aires 2015 is a great song where Marko and Floor are incredible. But the rest of the band make a stellar play also. It's one of my favorites

[@DaveCrokaert]

Your floorgasm did not dissapoint :)

[@kjvail]

That’s too funny. You don’t want to come across, the song is about the inevitability of death, the ghost river being something like a river Styx

Empuu having a quick sip of Corona 3min in, nothing unusual

Thanks

[@janjager2906]

Yeah, that look on your face, that was me three years ago 😂

Great reaction! Loved you observations and energy. The flaming bullhead is the emblem of Wacken Open Air Festival. Wacken is normally a 2000 people village in Northern Germany that is a big cattle ranching area, thus the bullhead. Wacken Open Air is one of the biggest metal festivals in the World. 82,000 people here. The organ is in fact just a keyboard stand that holds two of Tuomas Holopainen's (keyboardist/composer of 95% of their songs/poet and musical genius) Korg keyboards. It also has a holder for a bottle of red wine that he likes during the show. Lead Guitarist is Emppu Vuorineen (em-poo) and he is the prankster of the band and overall just fun guy. Since you mentioned Siren's I have several recommendations for you. First, Nightwish's song The Siren with their first singer Tarja Turunen, live from the End of an Era concert. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gobcaYeVaNCcm6s. Next is the band Epica. They are another female fronted symphonic metal band with. Darker and heavier then Nightwish their lead singer Simone Simmions is classically trained but very metal. Checkout their song Sirens - of Blood and Water. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaeqgmCnbsyrbJo. Collaboration with Charlotte Wessels (ex-Delain) and Myrkur (Danish black metal and folk singer). Song inspired by the original Little Mermaid story by Hans Christian Anderson. Last is the gothic symphonic metal band Blackbriar and their song Arms of the Ocean. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJfPi3qAipWcndk. Zora has a unique and haunting voice and their videos are always such gothic masterpieces.

Thank you! I will absolutely have to check those out

[@javadan]

You've just scratched the surface of this amazing rabbit hole. I won't give you song suggestions because the best thing about Nightwish is that every song of theirs is your favorite until the next one, then the next one, etc.. Just do all of them. Enjoy!

[@PazuChill]

I wonder if Ghost Love Score still brings in views like crazy like it did a year or two ago. I think it will. What a great performance though.

[@northof4912]

It’s not an actual organ. Its a facade that hides where Tuomas has his wine bottle holder…..

[@stanleyarmstrong2898]

Add in Floor Jansen's ability to go Wagnerian. She stands over 6 feet tall.Basically, her range looks to be down into the Mezzo-soprano range. We call her Valkyrie Queen. Hail Brunnhilda! The dudes thing has Jukka, the lead guitar drinks a bit of beer. Forget

[@marcbaur677]

Empu is drinking water? 😳🤣 No, its Beer, its Corona Extra. 😄🍺

[@ricardoxavier827]

Finaly a sincere reaction in the last year, and the queens bohemian raphosy comparation, are good comparation. Thank you for your reaction!

[@CharlesDickson-nv2ol]

They are the type of acts that they should have to play a Glastonbury, along with Epica.

[@davidbentley4032]

Do you know AOC? Nice reaction btw. More Americans need to learn about this band.

[@markclements7767]

Hi Lauren, greetings from UK That was a really nice reaction, thank you 😊 I think that you would like the song Storytime from the same Wacken 2013 concert

[@dieseldog00]

That wasn't water Emppu was drinking lol. You're watching the Valkyrie Goddess of Symphonic Metal Dutch Dramatic Coloratura Soprano Floor Jansen!!! Yes Bohemian Rhapsody and also some Irish jigs thrown in for fun lol.
