They always record with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, at least up to the last albums, so thats where the backing track comes from. Everything you heard was written and composed by the keyboarder, Tuomas Holopainen.

My wife uses it (bitch) in a way that shows both respect and friendship for another woman. Perhaps because she managed a band for 25 years. Not everyone pays a compliment by saying someone is "talented as f$ck", either. Depends on the circles in which one moves. Language is fluid. Oh, and my wife is 70.

[@gabriel.bardac]

[003C] Hello @ MK from SymMusicReact ! Nightwish fans here, your reaction just appeared on our radar.. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing in 2013 at Wacken Open Air festival, in front of a 82k+ audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. I watched all your 3 reactions in a row, in the proper order (A, B, C) - your was the most emotional. Even that's your first Nightwish experience, you "clicked" immediately. I smiled to myself noticing how the main singer was promoted from "bitch" to "ma'am" as the song progressed :) Edited: for you - I'll subscribe to your (common) channel. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hope you'll continue this journey with us, so I'll drop here a list of songs with the current lineup of the band you may like: "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKvCaIJ5eLafjtU "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4nMZaFuma-WfJo​ "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqfOiqqFf7-ChLc "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLYZoSgnsl7jck "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWmoZH9tnMx_g68​ "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmbImqeaYqp0bKs "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_UlnxuZZyNors​ "Sleeping Sun"live at Tampere 2015 (ballad) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKTSpZ-wp56qhNk "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmopnSGjtKSi8k​ "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXKXZaeglrVopJI​ "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) kzbin.info/www/bejne/inOylZqun8djoa8 "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmOZo5Ksdr6EZrM "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3-VZGyGl9aVoNE​ "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqfWl6p3hceKjsU​ And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Wembley 2015 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKqvpIhthphmac0 Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019 (TV show from Netherlands), here is a playlist made by Floor herself (start listen it in reverse order..): kzbin.info/aero/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo To understand better the context of this show you should visit also Jenniezelf's channel (En subtitled materials): kzbin.info Thank you!

Guitarist's name is Emppu Vuorinen and he writes the guitar music because Tuomas (on Keyboards, main composer) lets him "do his thing'.... He can shred with the best but his feel for the song - do what is needed to improve the song and not overdo it - is exemplary!... Floor Jansen can growl too and check out ANY song from this Wacken 2013 show! Nightwish does not have a "bad" song and not even a "bathroom" song so strengthen your bladder!.... a little less "Bitch" and a bit more "Valkyrie" would make your reaction more watchable imo.... Still cool to see you getting into it! FLOORGASM!!.... the beast on drums is named Jukka Nevalainen.

Floor Jansen is a dutch singer. She is classically trained but seriousky can sing anything. U should check out a video of herself and Henk Poort singing The Phamtum of the Opera on Bestezangers 2019. Bloody amazing!

[@papaverweg]

Yes, NW is great and so is she. She is our one and only Floor Jansen. (Say: Yahn-Sen) Although NW is a Finnish band, Floor is Dutch. You can find out how versatile she can sing if you take the time to listen to her live performances, both with and without NW. Floor also started at the end of 2019 with a solo tour through her home country of the Netherlands since her success in 'Beste Zangers (Dear Singers) 2019' And yes, you can say it sounds like a movie soundtrack, because it is. Actually from this album is also makes a movie. Imaginaerum is a 2012 Finnish-Canadian fantasy film co-written and directed by Stobe Harju. It has been developed with and contains music from the seventh eponymous studio album by the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish; Nightwish's keyboardist and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen co-wrote the film. Although the music is the Same as the studio album, the title of each song is changed. The flaming bull's head is the official emblem of the Wacken Open Air festival and the crowd number attracted over 80,000 spectators

[@galadballcrusher8182]

well the band is the prime example of symphonic metal genre though their range varies as they have songs among others like jazz, thrash , power metal , folk, hard rock , ballads, poppy, operatic.... and even some growling.They have had 3 lead vocalists so far with Floor being third one and most flexible and multi purpose. First one was more operatic, and second was more for studio but less for live concerts. In addition to Floor the bass player Marko is an amazing vocalist who was lead in his old band Tarot and they have a multi instrumentalist named Troy who also sings. As for the symphonic part of their sound, Tuomas who is founder of band plays keyboards and composes 95% of their music writes also the symphonic parts that are arranged and recorded by London philarmonic etc to be used as backtrack during the songs

[@jukkahelminen9071]

Welcome to magical world of the Nightwish! Nice reaction, enjoyed. Regarding the band’s music studies, the answer is yes, they have all studied music. Floor (vocals) started playing the piano but later began studying vocals. She studied rock singing for 4 years at the Rock Academy and one year of classical singing. Marko (bass and vocals) has studied singing and playing guitar and bass for several years. So there are two singers in the band who have both studied it! As a teenager, Jukka (drums) studied drumming for a few years. But the longest study of music has been done by Tuomas (keyboards, composer, poet, "metal Mozart"). He studied music for almost 12 years (between 7-19 years). History of music, theory ... Piano, clarinet, tenor saxophone. Classical and jazz. He started playing the piano at the age of 7 and said (in interview) he did a lot of classical music finger exercises on the piano, the etudes became familiar! It’s sometimes confusing to watch Tuomas play, it can look very wild. He has three keyboards, two on top of each other towards the audience and one on the left side towards the band. Many times he plays two at the same time, the one with the right hand towards the audience and the one with the left hand towards the band. But the wildest is when he plays and spins his head (windmill) at the same time. It looks absolutely amazing. But then it’s good to remember that his background, why he can play even with his eyes closed!

To me it sounds like you haven't allowed a metronome to be the boss very much? If you are used to practice to a metronome it is no problem performing with one.

Welcome to Symphonic metal and Congratulations on your first Floorgasm!! If you wanna do more Nightwish, try "Romanticide". 😊❤🤘🤘

[@Alvvays667]

'the baddest bitch' is actually called The Valkyrie 😉 Analysis: good on point comments (especially regarding use of backing tracks) Reaction: fun, entertaining, nice personal comments. Liked!!!

[@richardtomlin8704]

Go out and do it. There are no boundaries in music, no 'Classical police' to head you off. There are so many crossovers. It seems to me that there is an amazing new world out there that you have little idea about. Go out and explore and go out and play.

[@Trevor21230]

If you wanna hear something more classical from them, the second half of their latest album, *Human:||:Nature* (the songs prefaced with *All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World)* is almost entirely instrumental, and makes heavy usage of their partnership with the London Philharmonic Orchestra as well as the newest member of the band, Troy, who plays the Irish Pipes and the largest mode of the Tin Flute. The whole thing really has a much more classical vibe to it, and it'll really give you an appreciation for how good of a composer Tuomas (who's also the keyboardist) is. This link should take you to that part of the album playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXbEmH-pe6x9f6c

Hi and welcome to the world of symphonic metal! :) - Another ones you might be interested in: The Poet And The Pendulum, The Greatest Show On Earth, and a favorite of mine, I Want My Tears Back, live at Buenos Aires - the interaction with the audience is amazing and you'll see Floor as you never see her before. :-P

[@xen0bia]

If you want to hear some more symphonic metal that has orchestral backtrack then give Epica a shot. Their Retrospect live show has a orchestra and choir on stage with them. Floor even shows up twice in that show (Sancta Terra, Stabat Mater Dolorosa). Give Presto a listen for a classical twist!

[@sterlingknight8087]

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!

[@douglascampbell9809]

Floor has 82,000 people rocking out at her feet. Here is another symphonic metal band in a special concert. Complete with a full symphony on stage with them. Within Temptation and Metropole Orchestra - Our Solemn Hour (Black Symphony) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJazgop4idCoeLc Metal with a violin. Don't normal hold you back.

[@Duskwind_]

It's probably not a good idea to call Floor a bitch when 99% of the viewers of this video (including myself) consider her their Queen. The Nightwish army is going to flame you, but I'm from Northern California and I knew what you meant. I also know that "they slapped" is very high praise indeed. The vocalist, Floor Jansen, is a classically trained singer and a professional vocal coach. The band has been around for almost 25 years, so yeah, practice.

[@barbaravance6774]

that croud is 82,000 fans!!! Floor is between 6ft and 6ft 2 by what I've read. The Swiss have a Swiss Army knife. We have Floor the Dutch Army knife, who can sing ANYTHING!She is a Classically trained Opera singer. The style of the choreography is crazy! All of their songs sound different.

[@christinaalgate4899]

82,000 loud I think they are saying her name. Her name is Floor Jansen she is Dutch and the rest are Finnish. That's where the band is from. It's a woman fronted bsnd6. She is the 3rd and last Singer. She is wearing leather. At this concert she had been with the band 10 months and when she started she had 48 hrs to learn 15 songs. From the Netherlands to Salt Lake City Utah. On top of her still recovering from Burnout. She is 32 and 6 ft at this concert. Floor does the windmill with hear head and hair. You haven't seen and heard anything yet.

[@johncheek2415]

Everyone of them have some kind of classical training especially Floor Jansen the singer, plus the band has been together since 1996, Floor joined in 2012(10 months before this show) she had 48 hours to learn their setslist and to join them in Seattle Washington, after flying from Amsterdam Holland. They have a new album out called HUMAN::NATURE, and it is a musical masterpiece, all of their music and lyrics are composed by the keybardist Tuomas Holopainen, who has been descripted by peers as "A modern day Mozart", The band is Finnish, except for Floor she is Dutch, and they have a multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley who is from England. Yea they all speak perfect English, and many other languages,

[@OneBadCitizen]

Your reaction was interesting! from bitch to ma'am and then to aunt haha The Nightwish Army approves your raction anyway (mostly).

[@locutusofborg999]

You are super calm during the reaction and I was thinking "Floorgasm" incoming in...3..2..1...and BANG !!! the surprised look in your face..". No one pass-thru this indifferent...Very good reaction... Tries "The Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish " next to. A masterpiece. To be explained "Floorgasm" is we call the reaction to Floor Jansen (the vocalist) when she reaches this notes and sustained them for such a long time. In almost every Nightwish song there is a "Floorgasm" moment.

[@thatoneguyagain2252]

I saw one reactor ignore the Floorgasm completely - she was too busy listening to herself when the moment came.

[@Salmar80]

If you wanna play in a metal concert, I'd imagine you could find a band to try it with - I doubt attitude would be a problem :D It's no longer just guitars, bass, keyboards and drums... Among just Finnish metal bands, Apocalyptica has made a career outta playing metal with cellos, and the power metal band Turisas always rocks a violin (and an accordion). New Nightwish albums and tours feature multi-instrumentalist Troy who plays Uilleann pipes, tin whistle and all kindsa instruments.

[@michaelbelshaysr4525]

Well Nightwish is showing what is true rock especially metal stems from classical that is why symphonic metal is able to exist on the same stage. They are complementary to one another other metal and rock musicians have done this in the past metallica their S&M album was done with a symphony so was the Scorpions with berliner philharmonic elo was with orchestra music as well. So its not a new idea though Nightwish has been able to blend it better. Epica with floor jansen Sancta Terra love is a good one to watch as the symphony is on stage so is the choir.

[@christophschmedes5975]

Yeah, I wondered if your comment at the beginning about the skill of metal musicians was due to the unusual time signature(s). I don't know enough to follow them except for counting 12, 5, 6. It's certainly unusual and shows off their composition and performance abilities. And yeah, she's 6'1" or so, plus some heel - got some presence. Also, you should definitely play in a metal show - I don't know how often Nightwish uses a live orchestra with strings, but Epica sure does.

[@sonosoloio]

welcome to the fantastic musical universe of nightwish and floor jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music. the whole 2013 concert in wacken is epic and deserves to be watched and reacted song by song, the whole 2013 concert in wacken is epic and deserves to be watched and reacted song by song, but in particular I suggest you watch the songs of the same concert: "song of myself", "storytime", "ever dream" and " Romanticide " this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" live in the 2015 concert in london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" live in the 2015 concert in tampere - finland.

[@thomaslilly9558]

SMR....Great honest reaction, thank you. Her name is Floor Jansen ( Yansen sound, Dutch ). Not 10' tall, just 6'1". Band originated in Finland in the 90's. I had to laugh...as I was sliding my cat ( Charlie ) from in front of my screen yours jumped in your lap. The dog was much more subtle just allowing his ears to be seen. Hope you do some more Nightwish, reactions. This was nice nice, they do the Bad Ass stuff very well also. You are about to have a large number of visitors on your station. The Nightwish Army is on the way.....Enjoy !

[@PPfilmemacher]

I never thought that the use of the word „bitch“ would annoy me as much like in this video ...

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I'm just going to put it out there: If you love what you see with Nightwish, then you should check out Brittney Slayes and Unleash the Archers -- one of the _few_ vocalists who can even come close to Floor, lol. Check out Abyss, Soulbound, Awakening, and Apex, to dip your toe in the Power Metal genre, then move up to Tonight We Ride and Time Stands Still -- I guarantee you Brittney and the band will blow your mind, lol. Welcome to the Nightwish Army, by the way. You're now one of us. 😁 By the way: This "metal show" was a metal festival that Nightwish headlined in 2013 -- where 82,000+ people attended.

[@lennardloomans9169]

Thank you for your honest reaction. If classical is more your vibe, i am really curious what you think of "Nightwish - All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World". A nearly fully symphonic piece (8 tracks of in total 30 minutes) from their latest album.

[@inflatablepenguin]

Very raw reaction fantastic to see, and I've seen way too many Nightwish reactions. You nailed what the music is meant to sound like when you said it was like a film score. Tuomas (keyboardist) is the main composer (over 90% of the composition and arrangements) and he describes his music as "film music metal" but they fall into the symphonic rock category. I'm pretty sure the drummer Jukka arranged most of this song. The London Philharmonic performed Tuomas' composition for the backing track though I think Troy had a major hand in the interlude. Just some answers to some of the things you were talking about as seeming interested in. Yes Ma'am!

[@ericshimizukarbstein6885]

It's so weird someone refer to Floor as aunt when I first heard her when she was 19yo xD

[@hamhill7806]

It is even more weird to refer to her as "Bitch". Just saying... ;-)

[@tootsie9988]

Probably slang, but 'bitch' is certainly quite insulting in the Netherlands, where floor is from. Read Gabriel's reaction to get well informed about some background facts

[@crabuki1273]

In the US, it's become not that big of a deal to use lots of swear words. It's on t-shirts and bumper stickers. Is it couth? No, but there's definitely no derogatory intent that I heard. It's like using C__t in the UK - people call their friends that, it's just another colloquial expression. In the US that's a fighting word.

[@LynetteHerbrink]

Being Dutch myself I don't see a problem with the word bitch, especially in the way she used it, it was obvious she just meant it in a positive way :)

[@deed5811]

Bitch these days, especially from another woman and with this context, isn't always a negative. Especially with metal. But that's my perception.

[@girlpridegamesandmusic5201]

Welcome to the Nightwish Army!! 😊

[@alexjohnson2527]

Since you play violin and like metal, I would recommend reacting to Dimmu Borgir-Gateways live. They have a full orchestra performing with them, a female guest singer playing off the lead singer, full gothic costumes, and they are a symphonic black metal band. I think you would enjoy it!
