I personally think Empuu is a very under-rated guitarist. He doesn't need to do all kinds of shredding and insanely long solos. He just has a skill that is only obtained by years of playing in a killer band.

[@zenithquasar9623]

Yeah, he is so well controlled and delivers consistency which is, imo, harder than freestyling!

[@damienmaynard8892]

considering he plays rhythm consistently AND lead - WOW! I've seen and heard different versions of his solos layered onto each other and he nails it every time... Sometimes it sounds like two guitars playing complimentary themes, variations on a melody which work together, and at other times it sounds like only one!

[@marcel1416]

I think he he has one of the most respectable skills a musician can have: he (only) plays what the music needs. He is not showing off. As a matter of fact, I think that is true for all of the members in Nightwish and I think that's what makes them such great live acts. They are very consistent, controlled and on top of their game. I mean what Kai and Jukka demonstrates on the drums, especially in those 10+ minutes songs, is amazing. Or even Tuomas on the keys while headbaning/windmilling and always hitting the notes (while there are videos of him misplaying some notes, but hey... happens to the best)

[@timmokoo5679]

I think he's under-rated because the standard for a metal guitarist in a band of this status is ridiculously high. It's true that he is very disciplined and plays only purposefully but I think that's Tuomas's songwriting at play there, not just his personal tastes.

[@leemoseley1120]

I liked that he likes to play around with Megadeth, Metallica and Iron Maiden's riffs to add some fun to the songs.

[@BadGirlFan]

"I know it's a long song, but I wanna go back to the beginning. I hope you don't mind," Sounds like you forgot who you were talking to. To Nightwish fans 6½ minutes is not a long song, it's a song of average length xD

[@ChaseCarneson]

Haha true this.

[@warhammer5690]

Fact. Under 8 mins is medium length.

[@Diavolo222]

No but there's lots of reactors where people complain about pausing which is a bit dumb. Like....go listen to the song then why search for reactions if you just want to llisten to the song uninterrupted.

[@everett880]

"Good evening to you! London! Wembley Arena!" Ohhh can't wait til' December 😁 Gotta love that solo battle between Tuomas and Emppu. Like you said Chase, "What a time to be alive."

I hope you actually get to go. My show in September is most likely a no go because of Covid.

[@AnOldGreyDog]

I'm hopeful for December, too, but I suspect it will be postponed.

[@floorswindmachine]

"What a time to be alive" indeed Chase. We are blessed to be able to watch and listen to this phenomenal group of musicians. Thank you for a wonderful reaction and breakdown of the ingredients that many of us, me included didn't even notice until you pick them out... in my case because I am usually mesmerised by Floor but I am getting better 🙏😊👍

[@langadubazana]

Ah the first Nightwish song I ever heard! Love it.

[@publius2000]

I discovered Nightwish late. The first time I heard them I thought, "Wow, these guys are RUSH level tight. I know RUSH is an older band, but I would love to see your reaction to them as they are/were some of the finest musicians in the world. Also, how about some love for the lighting and FX engineers for Nightwish, their work is amazing.

[@Rikitikisiki]

This song, and this performance in general is one of my favorites. Such energy. It picks me up from any slump I am and carries through the day. Love it.

[@Jacqueline.1964]

Damn good saturdays 😀!

[@ChaseCarneson]

DAMN GOOD 😂😂👌

[@maggaw9869]

Thank you from Finland.

[@josejesuscontrerassalazar9140]

I'm glad that you chose this song, not many people appreciate it. My top favorite moment is that keyboard guitar solo battle. Thoumas was in the zone and feeling it. Can't wait for your breakdown and analysis for The Greatest Show. That will be an epic journey. So many things to talk about.

[@madzoakenshield5683]

7 Days to The wolves or Stargazers are epic! Also from Wembley! 😊

[@kdkttn19]

Every other reactionist does the Tampere version of TGSOE. I enjoy the Wembley version for reactors because it's a little harder to "screw up" the ending - which for some is a crucification to those same people who demand for that version. Wembley features the actual Dawkins, also.

[@mantailuaa]

I think that sometimes Troy plays with the songs from backstage, I know he sings backing vocals from there sometimes. In this song I can hear Marko but also Troys voice in the harmonies at the end.

[@M1k7yGaming]

can´t wait for you to break down the greatest show on earth.

[@dannyvanoverloop5017]

Question to you Chase. After your reaction to Storytime, you said you almost want them to challenge you with a song that would not impress you, that you would say its kinda ok...for them. So question is.... you already find that song yet?

[@SalmonSnake80]

You need to react to Wintersun -Sons of winter and stars (live rehersals at sonic pump studios) More finnish metal and awesomeness, drummer is same as nightwish

[@skeezesmith7954]

I always enjoy your detailed breakdown. The preferred Greatest Show on Earth is the Tampere one. It has extras. There are two of the same video. One with lyrics and one without. It’s best to go with the one with lyrics as there are many scientific and biological references in the song. There’s even some Latin and some voiceovers that are hard to pick up without a lyric display. You may already know that it’s about evolution. The creation of the universe, creation of earth, first life, first humans and of course, our ultimate demise. Absolutely awesome score, but then it’s Nightwish so we already know that. Here’s a link to the Tampere lyric video 😄🤘 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ2ZnYicfrKefa8

[@benjaminbreeg6367]

Agree with Phelan, though I really enjoy the “perks” too.

[@monikamiroslava4074]

Totally agree about the lyrics; the location and the atmosphere also make the Tampere show my first choice. However, the new version from the Wembley concert is amazing - you can hear every little detail... so why not both :D

[@KelbenArunsun]

This!

[@bewareofsnow]

Commenting before actually watching the reaction: my vote for next week (which I am so hyped for!) is the Tampere performance.

[@Pitchblackbones]

Ditto. Both are great, but Tampere is definitive in my opinion, it's just an incredible show. Once in a lifetime quality.

[@crystalrainfeather]

Gets my vote, too.. for all the reasons already mentioned. Chase reacts/analysis better than any reactor & I can't wait!!

[@TheRealCoyote]

That's why I'm here too. Definitely Tampere version.

[@TheRealCoyote]

Fantastic reaction as always. It always amazes me how much you're able to process and analyze with just one listen. One of my favorite songs by Nightwish. Such a hype song. Only one for this one, turn it to 11 😁

[@Tamm1965]

Tampere before the pole.

[@silverlightx6]

Man, you can pause, rewind, and pause again as many times as you'd like. You _always_ have a comment, thought, or insight that's worth listening to. Heck, your insight is 99% of the reason why I subscribed. The other 1% is just watching your reactions. You have such an expressive face, and it's a treat to watch you take in the song you're listening to.

[@BOOMBiggityBam]

☝️ this a thousand times! When I watch your reactions, I feel like I get to hear the song again for the first time. You have a way of pointing out so much that I miss and I dont even realize it. Its fantastic! I truly appreciate the time you put into your reactions. Thank You!

[@alexandrepiresdeoliveira1605]

This! Every reaction shows at least one nuance I missed to each song. Love rediscovering the songs through your insights

[@sylverfeathers]

@@BOOMBiggityBam I have thought that myself many times. Thank you for saying it

[@aura5572]

Marco said singing with Floor is very easy for him. Before he had to tone down for vocalists not to overpower them, but Floor is so strong he can just do his thing

[@Thorgrim247]

Great breakdown and analysis of the nuances of the musical composition and performance. Most reactors don't have the musical understanding to even hear let alone analyze the components and structure of the song both musically and vocally. Love listening to and watching your reaction videos Chase. You could teach other reactors how it is properly done. Good one my friend. See you for the next one. Peace.

[@adamparrott9600]

I was there, front row. I waited at least 7 hours to get it, It was absolutely a dream. Everything was perfect.

Please react to the Greatest show on earth live in Tampere. Beacuse I think you can apreciate some tricks they used in that live (OPENAIR). You always give us a tecnical and profesional view point...and all of us need your view point of that live. Because it's perfect and because it's full of surprises and tecnical clever things. Belive me...trust me. Tampere!!

When Floor commands you to chant....you F'ing chant. She is basically a 6'1" Goddess of Valkery's, with a voice of magic. Her crowd control is insane because of her open honesty, she just genuinely seems humble and so so happy to be giving of her talent.

I have to say, you could do a reaction and not have to say a word. Just watching the expressions on your face speaks volumes. As the song went on you were like a kid opening a Christmas present, lol. You're probably the most genuine person I've ever seen doing one of these reactions, and deserve massive kudos for your detailed analysis.

[@MultiRaven1313]

I think the Wembley version of TGSOE has better audio but Tampere is just... an experience. Both are amazing to watch but I'd vote for Tampere

[@godcaoss]

Yes. For me, Tampere version is more polished, has more energy, it flows better than the Wembley version, especially when it comes to the vocals. Troy's intro with the guitar is beautiful in Wembley version, though.

[@baronvonmaverick6119]

Totally agree! The overall experience of Tampere gets me everytime :)

[@Enderu666]

My favorite is the Buenos Aires version, even if it doesn't have the last part, as it does a better job of showing the 3 singers both in terms of audio mix and camera work.

[@silverlightx6]

Gotta agree. Tampere.

[@oddingar]

@@godcaoss omg omg omg - i have an idea - do both!

[@ari-etta]

Te me: The Greatest Show on Earth Live at Tampere, no doubt about it. Will be waiting for the poll. They did release the live one with Mr Richard Dawkins himself, but the visuals at Tampere are beyond compare. And please finish watching the entire vid. Maybe that's not relevant for a music reaction but relevant for the song itself.

[@ChrisPage68]

The visuals at Wembley are clearer because the cameras are up close to the band, and I like the intro with Troy on guitar.

[@godcaoss]

Also, I think Tampere is way more polished despite the new version having a better mixing (and it is also a slightly different arrangement in some parts).

[@godcaoss]

@@ChrisPage68 I like it, too. But I find that Tampere has more energy, it flows better.

[@demise0]

There's a difference in the choice of instrumentation for the first part between Wembley and Tampere. Troy's E-bow of Wembley makes the first part sound so much more mystical and majestic and (personal opinion) just better than the Tampere version. Since Chase analyses instrumentation, I would think Wembley would be something better for him to look at.

[@MarcXL81]

The end of this song fells always like a goodbye forever, the music, the happy-crying croud, the feeling of it all. Thank god it's only a temporary goodbye.

I'll be watching to see how many historic songs you can catch embedded in the work, and I'm betting you'll both catch and appreciate more than most! Shudder BTB: absolutely amazing reaction (as usual)! I enjoyed every minute of it (except the ads that just wouldn't quit). What a great start to the weekend! Thank you so much!

I'm 185cm & Floor is 183cm. If I met her I would talk about where to get cool clothes from haha. I love being around other tall strong women but I'm still tallest of my women friends. I wonder if she has the thing where her lungs are massive. My dr once was like "your lungs go right down past your ribs!" & when I have an X-ray they do top & bottom as they won't all fit on one slide. I think I'm older but I really hope Floor doesn't end up with the back issues that actually have me disabled & with lots of pain. It would be awful if she had to stop playing & touring cos she can't stand up for long. Though I reckon she could sing with a corset on!

[@danray104]

The era of Nightwish. What a time to be alive indeed

[@bjornseine2342]

Greatest Show on Earth? Oh boy, I'm excited! My vote 100% goes towards the Tampere version. As others have said, do make sure you watch it until the end - it's the last song of a concert film, so it includes credits. But the credits roll while the song is still going on. My personal opinion is that one should also be aware of the general theme of the song, but if you want to go in entirely blind, *stop reading* here! The song is about life and evolution; specifically, it tells the story of earth from the big bang to the eventual end of humanity. That is all I want to say before you listen to it; but there are tons of details in the text that one can't possibly all understand on first listening (Most people probably can't figure all of them out on their own, ever).

[@Doudoussin]

1:29 "cool" *gets startled by the start of the song* Idk why but I loved that

That is the best comment regarding to Nightwish reactions that I have heard: "what a time to be alive". Well said mate.

[@ChrisPage68]

In the dictionary, under "Consistency", the first definition should read "Floor Jansen". Not only is she consistently excellent professionally, but the more I have got to know her through her videos on her KZbin channel, the more it becomes apparent that it carries through to her approach to life and her personal philosophy.

[@zenithquasar9623]

Actually, the whole band is very very consistent. They are masters of their craft.

[@Leishtek]

Legend has it that she hasn't missed a note in 15 years. Oh for sure, she is a professional singer. And I don't mean that as in she does this for a living. I mean that she has a professional drive to continue improving, evolving, refining, and expanding and WOW does it show.

I think tGSoE at Wembley is better for band performance and overall spectacle, but Tampere is better for vocals and the harmony’s between floor and Marko are epic. I’m torn between which one I’d rather you watch. I think you’ll need to put it to a vote.

[@godcaoss]

Definitely Tampere. The song flows better, the vocals too. Sounds more organic.

And that is where I was for this show. Every now an then you might just see the lights shining of my now follicly challenged head :-) For an opener Shudder Before The Beautiful was fantastic and certainly grabs the audience's attention in a way I have rarely witnessed in my 40+ years of going to gigs.

It's one of those things that most of us Nightwish fans already half-understand, but haven't been able to put into words and thus keep taking for granted. So naturally we're just eating it up as you work through these reactions! I think we can all agree, we'd KILL to get Tuomas to sit down for an interview with you... any way we could make this happen??

I also would like to recommend Blind Guardian. Normally the first suggestion for reactors is "The Bard's Song & Valhalla" live at Wacken. If you decide to listen to them, keep in mind, that these are two of their older and simpler songs, but fan favorites and the atmosphere in the crowd is just amazing. But I think you could get more enjoyment out of some of their more complex work. I especially like everything from their last two albums. Lots of orchestral elements and just like with Nightwish, some of the pieces feel more like scores than songs. As for song recommendations, I would go with "Sacred Worlds" or "The Ninth Wave", but you can't really go wrong with anything on their last few albums.

"Sacred Worlds" would be fantastic, great suggestion! Blind Guardian is my favorite band for sure, would be amazing to hear on here. (Also, as cool live experiences as "The Bard's Song" and "Valhalla" are, I don't think they're very good representations of the band's music generally, and for whatever reason most reaction videos on them just don't turn out very interesting - I'm sure a Chase analysis would be above the rest as usual, but still.) Edit: _Of course_, "And Then There Was Silence" is a great (and long) track too!

I also **very much** enjoy their newest album, "Legacy of the Dark Lands". No guitars, no drums, just an orchestra and the very essence of Blind Guardian.

You better start saving your money NOW for all the shows you have been saying you hope to attend, when artists you have been reacting to come to your area. 😄

I'll be ready 😉
