REACTION to NIGHTWISH (Shudder Before The Beautiful) 🎹🎤🔥

[@soupdragonuk]

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.

[@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

[@danray104]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@adamparrott9600]

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

[@The_Pony]

My envy is immense. LOL. I've had the pleasure of being 2nd row at a smaller venue for Nightwish but this particular show is something I could only daydream of! I hope you had an absolute blast ♥️♥️♥️

[@najrenchelf2751]

Not gonna lie - mildly jealous... :)

[@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

[@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]

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.

Greatest Show: Nothing can beat the anniversary celebration in open air at Tampere in terms of full experience! Make sure you keep listening as they bow, and as the credits roll. 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!

[@German_1]

I agree with your analysis

[@Kaethena]

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.

[@ChaseCarneson]

I really appreciate this. I kinda get lost in it all haha.

[@JWNanaimo]

Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembley… one of the best concert openings I’ve ever seen. Ladies and gentleman…start your engines. The show has begun.😀🤘 What a “blow your mind” way to start a show!

"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 🙏😊👍

[@mattyguitar22]

This was my favourite Nightwish opening song ever! Until Music... Cannot wait to see that live

[@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).

[@mattheweddy2546]

I don't think I've seen a bigger smile on your face than you had during that solo duel!!

[@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.

[@billhooks69]

I spent 4 years on the road as a sound engineer with a band and to hear you say sound man is the extra member of the band is so pleasing, so I thank you for that. Because of my time in music I feel I know where the best place to be is when going to a show , for the best sound, and visuals.... Right in front of the mixing desk or as close as I can get to it. 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. To open with that and close with The Greatest Show On Earth.... wow.

[@najrenchelf2751]

This whole album is so contagious! 🤩

[@nightwishlover8913]

The look on your face when Floor went quiet - exceptional!! Great reaction!

I just had to revisit this reaction that I saw when you first released it 2 years ago. Loved your reactions even more this time. This is probably one of the best Show Opener that I've seen and heard. Magical.

[@Doudoussin]

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

[@langadubazana]

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

[@Slick-ng5kf]

This is how you open a show!!! This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs. It really showcases everyone’s musical talent. Kai’s consistency and skills as a drummer, Marko’s voice while keeping his bass line on point, Tuomas’s key work not only his writing talents (and seeing him have a blast with Emppu in that duel), Emppu’s solo (I love his solos...they are so melodic and “purposeful” as you said before (I love the speed picking at end and without a lot of delay/reverb so hard to hit that perfectly) , and what more can I say about Floor...just tremendous. I honestly am more impressed with how great she sounds on her lows as much as her high belts. To keep that much power and maintenance of tone/pitch on those lower notes is super impressive...and her stage presence IMHO is unparalleled...visually, vocally, crowd interactions, and the subtle movements and facial expressions etc that just make you melt but then right back to wanting to run through a wall when she windmills like a powerhouse!!! They are such an amazing band. Great reaction. Was so waiting for your face on the synth/guitar duel. Pre-look at the lyrics for TGSOE as some are hard to make out and these are some of my favorite lyrics (being the science/bio nerd I am). Stay safe 🤘

[@allenhuling598]

'What a time to be alive'....very well said! I am so thankful that I've been blessed to know and revel in the musical genius that is Nightwish....may they all enjoy good health and musical longevity for their dedication to craft!!

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.

For the longest time, Tuomas has deserved the kind of detailed, understanding commentary that you are giving us about his compositional genius. 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??

Tampere - make sure to watch it ALL the way to the end; will make sense why at that point. Tremendous job analyzing (and teaching those who miss intricacies like myself) this one - best job of it I have seen.

[@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.

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.

You are such a great reactor - and your spontaneous "what a great time to be alive" are just spot on. And about this starter - great. Stood there waiting and anxious - and then this power start 61/2 minutes that felt like seconds - but the mind was completely ready, set go - up and running in the speed were the next 2 hours disappeared. Time doesn't exist in a Nightwish concert - you are just getting fed with music, tellings thoughts and the most incredible voices - plus a mind blowing Valkyrie that carefully takes you through the show including dancing, workouts and so on. Yep - you just wait - I am 62 and Nightwish concerts beats just about anything else. Your mind is "Nightwish high" in several days after, and from that day you must have a daily dose of Nightwish, to get started 🤣 I am so looking forward to see you "digest" The Greatest Show on Earth - from Tampere (and the lyrics vetsion). This is maybe their greatest masterpiece if such a thing exists. It's complexed in many ways and contains so many elements that shows our influence on the evolution. !!! And remember to play it to the end - the speaking is an important part of the song. And - remember to enjoy it - it is wonderful, deep and also reflects how important we humans are - or actually aren't.

Yes! it's indeed a great time to be alive! This is art! The song, the vocals, the instruments, the solo between Emppu and Tuomas, the visuals, the smoke, the moves, the passion! This Band should be considered ART!!!! Just saying! The greatest show on earth it's indeed a piece of art too, a masterpiece and you should react, i think, first to the Tampere version, but then react to the Wembley version because it's a little different and a very special one too, i must say that i love some elements of the song more in Wembley than Tampere. But yeah, react to the 2 versions please. They are masterpieces. Enjoy the show of Nightwish.

[@federica8240]

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!!

[@luisnunes2010]

Exactly!

[@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.

[@davidwright9335]

You have to react to the greatest show on earth live from Tampere.

[@torbenjohansen6955]

Yes the one from Tampere Please

[@richardgoddard37]

Personally I prefer The Wembley one for clearer audio, but either is great.

[@federica8240]

Tampere one is perfect... they use some "openair tricks" that I think Chase is going to apreciate

[@ChrisPage68]

Wembley. As you can hear, the sound is superior - and the cameras are better placed. I can live without the fireworks. And you get Added Dawkins! 😋

[@paulastutina]

there are good and bad things about both performances

[@luisnunes2010]

Thanks, Tuomas, for again teaching us the importance of pauses, that the silence is part of the music... 👌🎼

[@thebebert8793]

Makes so mutch meaning right ? The silence after Mozart is still Mozart.

[@Amaranthos2]

Lol! That sigh at the end and the "yes yes yes, what a time to be alive" pretty much nailed it That said, the musical points you mentioned were also appreciated as always, for instance I wasn't aware of that palming technique to muffle guitar stuff, little things like that peppered in among all the enjoyment are part of what make your vids a priority watch

[@thanorodd5663]

This is the first time I've really paid attention to the two of them dueling. Their body language during that is great. Fun reaction as always.

You Sir killed the promise i made to myself when i created this youtube account: Never to leave a comment, ever. I lately really enjoy (re-)discovering music through reaction videos. Some of them are great because the joy of someone discovering your favourite band brings back memories of the time when i fell in love with them myself. Some of them are great because absolutely clueless non-musicans like me can learn about the inner workings of the compositions or be amazed when an expert explains why a certain feat a performer just accomplished is such a big deal. In my opinion you easily excel in both aspects. You have described this video as "another masterclass from Nightwish". I think masterclass is a fitting term: Your reactions are like the masterclass for listening to music ;-) I am shocked by the amount of details you can grasp on the first run. And i feel your appreciation for the effort and talent of the musicians more then i can feel it from any other reactor or expert. Luckily for the followers of your masterclass you are also a great teacher because you are able to put your great insight into words that everyone can understand. When you raise your eyebrows ... i ask myself what my ears missed that you just noticed. When you smile ... i am eagerly looking forward to the pause and the lesson. While you discover ... we learn. Thank you! Has the band "Iced Earth" already appeared on your reaction radar? I would love to see you react to them. They introduced me to Heavy Metal (together with Blind Guardian, which i also highly recommend). Someone (unfortunately i cannot remember the source) described Iced Earth as "Lovechild of (Iron) Maiden, (Black) Sabbath and (Judas) Priest meets Thrash Metal". The Band had quite alot of lineup changes. But Jon Schaffer (Rhythm Guitar) always has been the driving force behind Iced Earth. The lineup for the 1999 Live in Athens Concert is widely considered their best. Although the video quality might not always be the best i still think that you as a former touring guitarist will enjoy these versions. Therefore my suggestions would be: - Travel in Stygian - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX2bgnp5aKyLhNU - Desert Rain - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6a5nZearrNnsM0 - Dantes Inferno (16 Minutes long, but well worth it) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXykc3-YjMeIhq8 Greetings from Austria and have a damn good day!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. So glad you're enjoying this and also that you broke your promsie haha. Thanks for the support and reccomendations

[@miunetunimimiunsukunimi4036]

I’m always amazed when watching your reactions, because you hear and notice so much in short clips!

[@jopes4855]

Have a damn good day! Saturdays are my favourite days it seems 😁 There is no option which version to choose for next song. It is Tampere live! That was their 20y show, so it's as much about the show itself as it is about the song. And the important part is that you watch the video all the way to the end. Ending is part of the song.

[@nimwey7701]

I please hope you will do the Tampere version, and please watch it till the very end of the credits

[@sandramelgers6028]

Love your reaction!! So great to see your love for good music and for Nightwish.
