Hit that like button if you would be so kind :) ....Thanks for watching us on our Nightwish Journey... we are 150 miles apart in lockdown so we record our reactions remotely so maybe not a slick as others!... All our reactions are genuine unlike most other channels, you wont find those cheesy fake shocked thumbnail faces either!.. We are a couple of Brits reacting to music and your requests. Thanks for watching :)

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

As a fellow Brit I was much like you. I would never have thought I would get so into Nightwish as I have. It’s not just the vocals or the music and the stage presence of them all it’s how they have an absolute blast when they perform together.

[@timotimo4152]

You guys are really chilled and super typically stoic Brits..so was I, until I started following NW. Now I regularly get grit in the eyes while listening to some of these songs. There's something about Tuomas and Floor that cuts to the soul.

@timo timo Thanks for the nice words and your support. We are well on our way, we were pretty laid back too. Feel free to call us out when you see the change

I always love the faces of our "British-Pop" experts listening first time to good music. My shelter dog looked the same when he was free for the first time. Great Reaction. I really like this channel with our two British Nightwish virgins.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Michael Finck Thanks for the positive comments and the comparisons 😉 we can relate to it very well. A bit harsh on the "British-Pop" expert, that may be true of the black hat man, but we have been around and are open to any style of music and have listened to every song from the Danish-Norwegian Group "Aqua" 😉 so we do get around! Thanks for the support and we don't take ourselves serious but we do give our honest opinions, so we hope you will enjoy that. You may be surprised at our next Nightwish reaction. Stay tuned and thanks for the support.

[@majbrat]

:) YaY more Nightwish! Every song is different fellas. You never know what you will get but often the current song you hear is your new favourite with this band lol. They are a celebration of talent, ingenuity, human spirit, positive vibes, and energy. Love them! Super music is just super music! Another great Symphonic Metal Band is Epica with Floors good friend and old flat mate Simone. The song Sancta Tera has Floor as a guest & to showcase the two women's gorgeous voices watch Stabat Mater Dolorosa; amazing to open up different music to a metal audience.

[@BritPopsReact]

@K Maj Thank you for the comment. Yup, we came back for more and will be back again soon, with a bit of a change. Stay tuned

[@Inreglod]

They are perfectionists, their standard is sky-high, they are super proficient in their craft, and extremely gifted individuals each and every one of them. Literally, pick any song from their repertoire and be amazed. They do not have a bad/mediocre one. The Power of Nightwish is that they are genuinely there to share their passion with you. The Empathy in that shines through to you and nothing beats that. "The Band is a caravan of love and joy travelling from village to village passing on the good news. Each day is crowned by a concert that is an ode to the beauty of life" - Jukka Nevalainen

[@BritPopsReact]

@Inreglod Thanks for the comment, They are excellent. More from Nightwish soon

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Yes, Nightwish's sound is heavy but airy, perfect for storytelling. And they've done it for over 2 decades, so they know exactly what and how to tell these wonderful stories to us. ⛄👍

Love the reaction from both of you. I have been an avid music lover for many years and Nightwish really is something else. When I was a kid I remember hearing Pink Floyd for the first time. It was magical. Well this is the second time I really got so mesmorized by a band although I would say in the case of Nightwish they are a lifechanging force. I just feel so in awe watching them perform and Floor Jansen blows my mind everytime. Her vocals and stage presence make it impossible to take your eyes off her. A true goddess in every sense.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Laudato si Ad astra Thank you for your lovely comment. We are starting to understand and fall into the Nightwish trap. Glad you mention Pink Floyd as we will more than likely react to "High Hopes" before we react to the Marco version

Doing a good job guys! And forget the rating, just enjoy the marvellous ride! Nice break-away from the Wacken-concert (although all songs of that concert are worth a watch) would be "I want my tears back", live from Buenos Aires. Just to see another side of the NW-spectrum. And discover Troy. And a dancing Floor. And lots of people on the dance floor singing to the band. You won't regret it

[@BoonesRevenge]

What a refreshing reaction experience, really like your style 👍 The Nightwish journey has just started for you guys and I know Gabriel has sent his wall of text with all the information you need 😂 Ghost Love Score and Storytime are amazing tracks and they just hook you into the Nightwish universe. When you decide to go for the rest of the ‘big three’ (Ghost Love Score is one of them, the others are Poet and the Pendulum and Greatest Show on Earth) just please do a bit of research before as they have massive meaning to them. I know it can ruin the ‘first reaction feeling’ a bit, but if you don’t you’ll miss out on so much 🙏 Followed for more 👌

@BoonesRevenge Thanks you for the kind words, we appreciate it and really nice to know that. We are very new to the Nightwish journey and as you can imagine have had a lot of comments and feedback on what we should react to.

[@donepearce]

Nightwish songs for your list? Romanticide from Wacken Their cover of Floyd's High Hopes Ghost river The Islander from Tampere (A Marco solo performance) I want my tears back from Buenos Aires (did you already do that?) While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley Greatest show on Earth. Two versions, both great for different reasons - Tampere and Wembley. But save this one for much later And finally, their latest album is completely different, so don't go to any of those track yet - they will confuse. And don't forget to try Floor on her own. She was on a Dutch TV series called Beste Zangers and gave some jaw-dropping live performances in front of professional singers.

[@BritPopsReact]

@donepearce Hi and thanks again for coming back and checking out our reactions. Romanticide will be coming very soon, the Floyd covers is very interesting as we both like Floyd, but cant say we know that one, so we may react to the Floyd versions to get a taste of how it was done originally and then do the Nightwish version. We are also getting comments to check the "Walking in the Air" as we mentioned it too. We have a long way to go and will certainly be checking out most, if not all your suggestions. I see your other comment, I will jump over to that one too as, there were some interesting snippets on that one.

STATUS CHECK --- three songs into your Nightwish journey: You will do more Nightwish videos You've liked everything you've heard so far All the songs are very different from each other Every musician in the band has made an impression You can't wait for lockdown to end so you can see them live A genre you couldn't imagine two weeks ago has become a favorite . . . sounds about right. By now you understand WHY there is a Nightwish Army - this isn't the sort of band that leads many people to say "Yeah, they're alright, I guess". It's much more common for people to say "This is the best singer I've ever heard" or "Why haven't I heard of them before now?", or sometimes, "I'm into Metal, how have I been sleeping on this band?". Another popular quote: "Of the Nightwish songs I've heard so far, this is my favorite". The one you never hear (outside of Finland) is "New Nightwish album tops charts seven weeks in a row". Here in the States, you most frequently hear "Never heard of 'em" or "What the f^

I’ve been on this journey but 3 months or so and have gone out of my way to find a song that doesn’t rate 10/10. Not happening. Tuomas is an absolute genius and now that he has Floor as his voice there is nothing they cannot do together. The best band on the planet, hands down. Love your reactions. Keep up the good work!

[@BritPopsReact]

@Lou Horne Well thank you very much for those kind words, they are appreciated. We have a pretty good idea that all songs are going to be more than 10/10 That was a bit of fun we introduced on our channel and it works well for other Artists, but we may have to rethink that. Stay tuned and see where we go next, it may surprise

[@martin.w3707]

A lot of people say they couldn't imagine mixing Rock/Metal with opera. Queen were doing it in the 70s. You can also hear Symphonic Rock/Metal from the likes of Floyd & Rainbow in the 80s. Its just that in the 90s band started using classically trained female singers, but the music has been around for decades.

[@BritPopsReact]

@AZAZEL Thank you for the comment. Of course you are so right, Bohemian Rhapsody for a start, It's just hard trying to get your thoughts out so quickly when reacting without boring people. And for sure, Pink Floyd and Rainbow were heavily influenced by that also. Nightwish just take it to another level though. Thanks for checking out our channel. More coming soon.

Hi from the Midlands gents, another great reaction, keep going on this journey, if you ever wanted to see Floor being diverse then check out her duet of Phantom of the Opera on the Dutch tv show Bestezangers, it is sensational, in fact most of the songs she sings on that show are, obviously 🙄 also she growls in NW song Yours Is An Empty Hope from Wembley and also in her previous band, try Distain by Revamp. There is another very popular symphonic metal band Epica, the lead singer Simone is Floor’s best friend, they shared an apartment together when they were younger and they have sang together on stage, Epica did an anniversary gig with a full orchestra and Floor sang in some songs, the most watched of them is the song Sancta Terra at their retrospect show. Epica have a heavier sound than NW as they introduce harder music in some songs, especially Consign To Oblivion live at The Zenith in Paris, which consists of some death metal sounds too but is an amazing finale to their gig. Thanks again, great to watch some UK reactors 😀

[@BritPopsReact]

@Macman 1 Thanks for your great comment and feedback, we appreciate it. We are going to check out more from Nightwish and some of the other projects too. We are just getting our heads around Nightwish, so not sure if we can go to Epica just yet as our pallet may not be ready for even heavier. We may build up to that if that's OK Thanks for the support

No worries gents, take the route you want to, just wanted to give you choices so you can view in your own time. Metal is a genre that has a huge range of sub genres, and bands within those sub genres vary too, it’s what gives the music such enormous variety, just glad you are starting on your Metal journey, there are many great bands out there depending on tastes and moods so enjoy, I’ll keep watching 😄

Greets from Scotland, great reaction, nothing less than expected for your early experience of Nightwish, you have a new subscriber. Now you have the Nightwish army on board, if you like you could add another army called the Wolfpack, these are avid fans of a Japanese band called LOVEBITES, their musicianship can only be described as flawless, two brilliant lead guitarists Midori & Miyako are the most dynamic duo playing today and no one harmonizes as well as they do especially LIVE and at these speeds, Miho a powerful bass player who holds the rhythm effortlessly, the tiny thunder machine Haruna on drums and the soaring voice of ex R&B/Soul singer Asami, They're resurrecting retro style 80's heavy/power metal while adding their own melodic signature and profound lyrics, great power ballads too, they also sing in English(slight Japanese accent), trust me you will not be disappointed, preferably watch them LIVE they're unreal, almost too good to be true.

Ohhh sounds very interesting and the lady moving from R&B/Soul also interesting. Thanks and stay tuned this could get crazy.

[@SaulTyre]

​@@BritPopsReact No worries, whenever you're ready is fine with me. Here's some more interesting info, Miho & Haruna started Lovebites after Destrose the band they were in broke up, they invited Midori who was originally a keyboardist and played sort of hip hop stuff and only took up playing guitar aged 20. Miyako(who is a classically trained pianist from 3 years old) only began playing guitar aged 18, she originally joined as a backing singer and became a full member in 2017, she writes around 80% of their music. Asami was last to be invited, they asked her to rehearsals after they heard a demo tape of her and thought her voice would suit their songs, she had never sung Metal before. Their background only makes it all the more incredible that they are this good at Metal, their talent is insane. Finally, their sound engineers are the same guys who do Nightwish.

This is like pop metal, simple song structure verse chorus with just enough Nightwishness to elevate it. Nightwish really don't care about sticking to genre or even making everything sound metal they just write music and I think that is part of what makes it so accessible to so many people and why the internet has blown up a bit for their music. As long as you can deal with "loud" there is something for everyone in their music.

I think quite a few bands have turned symphonic back to front. Iron Maiden, The Who, and many others have had concerts with their music done by, or accompanied by a symphonic orchestra. But the symphonic metal genre itself is different in that the songs are actually composed for symphonics. I bit the bug by accident about 5 years ago when looking for Gary Moore's "Over The Hills and Faraway", and stumbling across the Nightwish version, with the original singer, Tarja. The rest is history.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Ian Black Indeed, that is very true and you can include Eric Clapton and even Oasis or at least one of the brothers on their own with an Orchestra, but I see what you mean and it add and extra level to what was already great music. So, yup, totally agree. Thanks for checking our reactions.

I am a lucky chap, having lived through two great musical ages. My teens were in the 1960s and I saw Jimi Hendrix play in my local pub. And now, in my seventies I have bands like Nightwish.

What local pub was it and was this before or after Clapton and the Beatles all went to see him? OK, Tool is really not something we have listened to, so we could do those at some time. Really appreciate your support and your comments.

[@donepearce]

@@BritPopsReact The pub was The Railway Tavern in West Hampstead. It had a venue upstairs called Klooks Kleek. I had actually gone there to see John Mayall's Blues Breakers (Mick Taylor on guitar before he joined The Stones), and Jimi turned up and borrowed Mick's guitar for the second set. He was already established at this point.

[@BritPopsReact]

@donepearce Thanks for the comment, I just read up on the Klooks Club. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klooks_Kleek Fascinating stuff and starting off as a Jazz club, it must have wondered what hit them when all the Blues started taking of with some big names in there and the likes of Tom Jones, Jimmy Page dropping in. Brilliant, I see Tom is releasing a new album too at 80 what can you say, he never fails to impress. Thanks again, catch you on the next reaction. (oh can you please try not to upset the young ones? I know where you are coming from, they are very passionate and it can get nasty) We all have our own thoughts on that industry. Take care and stay safe

[@donepearce]

@@BritPopsReact I deliberately didn't engage with the young ones. I know that I wasn't going to see anything rational there. But back in the day Klooks Kleek and the Marquee were my favourite places.

Haha I am sure the next songs you'll find in the NW rabbit hole will be 11/10 and more. You still scrached the surface. I know it makes sense to discover NW with the Wacken concert first, but if you are curious, try "Devil and the deep dark Ocean" live from Buenos Aires and you are getting a spark of an idea what could come next ;)

@Diamond Back Yup, he left me a bit confused on that comment, but he heard something in there 😁 As for the High Hopes comment, well we both like Pink Floyd so we may react to their version first and then to the Marko version for a bit link. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated

[@torpitsanas9010]

You are right, they do transitions between hard and soft etc.very good. And every song is different kind of story. If you want look up newer live stuff or song from new 2020 released album(not live versions yet), recommend shudder before Beautiful(live Wembley2015), Dead Boys Poem(live Buenos Aires 2018) and from new album Shoemaker or Music(amazing lyric videos)

Great reaction as always...In case you haven't noticed at 6:19 we have the famous "Guy-in-hat-that-seems-off". You cant miss him in the crowd. He looks like one of those cardboard cut-outs. Legend has it he was transported there from a Jimmy Buffett show from some time in the future.

[@BritPopsReact]

@IM Διmιtrι Thanks as always for the great comments. Well, I checked out the moment you provided and how did we miss that? Also, you are the first comment I have seen with this fun fact. We will use it in our next reaction and give you a shout out if that's OK with you?

[@vlinder6329]

@@BritPopsReact yehhhh Pink Floyd is Sooooo Good 🙏

[@Thorgrim247]

Tuomas also loved the Snowman. This song is more about storytelling in general. Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and The Snowman. Tuomas loves to write about lost innocence of childhood and longing to recapture the fantasy and wonder of youth. Never grow up & never grow old. "Floorgasm" is a tongue in cheek way of expressing the goosebumps you get from Floor's amazing vocal acrobatics. Loved your reaction video my British friends. Cherio! 👍

[@BritPopsReact]

@Thorgrim Thank you for your kind comment and the very interesting information. We may surprise with our next reaction to Nightwish. We hope you will follow our progress. Thank you for the support.

@Daemonweaver We are building up to those, but we may surprise you with our next choice. Stay tuned.

[@daroldteitzel1649]

Ok I rate your reaction 10 again. Ghost Love Score is my fav song for 8 years now. I've learned that this band is brilliant and the most professional in every way. Wait till you hear Troy on bagpipe. He is a countryman of yours and is incredible and kind. . I believe more in you two as the most authentic of what your doing. Rebecca (RVA) my other. . Cheers from USA, love you guys

[@BritPopsReact]

@Darold Teitzel Thank you for another wonderful comment, as before we appreciate it very much. We have been informed to wait for Troy and we will get to him soon and we are looking forward to seeing the addition to the already incredible sound. We are just having fun and keeping it real. Stay tuned, we will be back soon

[@clivematthews5296]

There is a version of Walking In The Air by Nightwish with first singer Tarja. She is much more operatic which is why many of us prefer Floor who can sing in any genre.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Clive Matthews We know 😉 Stay tuned, we went off the guided path. Stay tuned and see what you think. Keep it to yourself

[@perico1014]

I hear some Pat Benatar vibes in this song. Floor is amazing, and the whole band blends so well… Hats off to them.

[@chriscross2473]

Storytime will never be my favorite. I think it was on radio to often when it came out. It is still a great song. Pretty straigt forward Song and Floor gives it her special vibe. But I think I could give you 20 songs of Nightwish, i personally like more, from the top of my head. Edit: And now I am curious to see what your next reaction will be after reading the comments.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Chris Cross You must have been tuned into a very different radio station that us as we never heard anything like this on our UK channels.😄 We did comment that we found this heavier than the previous. 😄 We like to be different.

@@BritPopsReact Nothing wrong with a detour at all! Several ways to go there too. Can explore Nightwish songs from the previous two singers, or you could look at some of the solo efforts/covers or other bands of Floor, or you could delve into Marko's solo or Tarot efforts. Tarot is Marko's band with his brother. Or you could even check out a NW song that Marko sings lead on. Enjoy!

[@goranelez9956]

Walking in the Air cover from Nightwish (baby Nightwish, close to the beginning of millennia) is one of their most magical performances, with first vocalist who hasn't yet finished opera school in Germany. I would, with all due respect, ditch the scoring system. It puts needless pressure on you instead of pure enjoyment of good music. When you say what elements you liked/disliked, then all is revealed. How about next one: Yours is an Empty Hope, Wembley?

[@BritPopsReact]

@Goran Elez Thank you for your comment, we appreciate it. We have had the comment regarding the scoring, that works well on other Artists where there there can be good or bad songs. That's not going to be the case with Nightwish, so it may get ditched. OK, interesting choice on the next one, as most say we should react to "Ever Dream" or "Romanticide" next. We will be back with another Nightwish song soon.

People reacting to Nightwish for the first times: --> I didn't expect that --> I'd love to see them live --> What else can she sing? Floor: Yes! Tuomas is called "Metal Mozart". And when getting deeper into the rabbit hole and then listening to "The Greatest Show on Earth" and "The Poet and the Pendulum" you'll for sure think the same.

Great reaction video, i like the calmness of the two of you. I also want to warn you a bit. After Nightwish you have to search hard to find music as epic and interesting. for me Nightwish with Floor is in the Champions League of bands for sure. There are more but not so many.

Glad you guys jumped on the Nightwish train:) Please do Romanticide next. Totaly different type of song. In this one you get to hear the base player sing(very surprising) After that you can do High Hopes(in wich he realy shines) BTW,maybe it's an idea to stop the scoring system. Does more harm then........... Nobody wants to hear that there favorite song scores (just) a solid 7:) Anyway ,love following you guys on your Nightwish adventure. Thanks

@Harry Thats Me Hi and thanks for the comment and the scoring was something we were doing to be different from the other reactors. Little did we know that it would bite is on the behind.

In Finland the Snowman was also something you watched every Xmas. It is the only Xmas program apart from Home Alone I remember. At some point when you do get to Walking in the Air by Nightwish, check the one from 2000 in Tampere.

I am a fairly recent convert to symphonic metal which is odd, because in the past I loved metal and classical music, so it seems a no-brainer. It's surprising how few people know about the genre, and about Nightwish in particular. They are a very good band, and a lot of their music would appeal to a wide audience. I have only ever heard them once on commercial radio (Sleeping Sun) so I guess that's a good reason to spend more time on KZbin and less with commercial radio!

[@BritPopsReact]

@OJB42 Thank you for the comment. It's quite strange how you end up where you do, you were already into Metal and Opera and for us that was the fartherst thing we could imagine listening to. And yet here we are, funny how things work out. As for the radio comment, we never heard anything like that on the radio station we listened to.😂 Thanks for watching our reactions and hope you come back for more.

@Thomas Lilly Thanks for the nice comment, we are sort of surprising ourselves to be honest. We are set up 150 miles apart which is why we have the green screen set up. We are talking to each other over a zoom call, recording the meeting in OBS whilst one of us shares the screen to watch the videos on "the tube" that's a recipe for disaster right there.
