If you wanna see a crowd of metalheads fall completely silent, listening to a symphony orchestra and two beautiful and talented ladies singing a 13th-century Christian hymn, watch "Stabat Mater Dolorosa". And if you like to react to more Epica without Floor, try "Cry for the moon" from their first album or "Consign to Oblivion" live at the Zenith in Paris. Or maybe "Storm the sorrow", or "Universal Death Squad".

You were not wrong in assuming Floor and Simone like each other. They have been friends for a long time and have a linked history, with Epica's founder Mark, having been in After Forever with Floor for over 5 years before starting Epica. Fun fact, Simone was pregnant during this concert and still busted out crystal clear notes.

[@SirToby1076]

Funny how people always think that pregnancy is somehow affecting womens voices or their ability to headbang. You'll see this comment on almost every reaction video to any song from the Retrospect show... I'd accept the latter if she were 6 or more months in.

[@572Btriode]

The other fun fact, the song is quite dark. It's about a suicide bomber who thinks he's in Heaven but has actually gone to Hell.

[@nimedhel09]

@@SirToby1076 If you've ever been pregnant (which I've been) you know the first three months are HELL. Tired all day everyday, the nausea, the shortness of breath even though you're not doing anything strainuous and other fun symptoms... So a +3 hour show like that in that condition IS a big challenge physically. The body is creating life out of tiny little cells and is working on overdrive in the first three months. It gets better when you're in the second trimester, and then all hell breaks loose during the third. So yes, many of us are impressed by her performance during the show, and I've been even more so since first-hand experiencing the wonders of pregnancy, because, as I already said, it's very tough on the body. A small edit: And this is with a healthy and easy-ish pregnancy, too. I cannot imagine how that would go for people who went through complications.

[@sonosoloio]

floor jansen is a polite guest, because with her stage presence when she goes on stage this becomes hers, she knows it and as you can see in the video, she tries not to steal the scene from the singer of the epica band

[@scottb.4472]

Its amazing how some of these bands are interwoven......Nightwish, Epica, After Forever.......and they are all friends and support each other......Floor and Simone had the same vocal teacher and Floor has helped Simone with her singing after Floor, herself became a vocal coach.........its just really cool.....the symphony and choral singers were there bc it was an anniversary show.......

[@ralflukas9695]

yes that is amazing and they are even more interwoven as Floor is married to Hannes van Dahl (the drummer of Sabaton). And Simone is in a longtime relationship with her partner Oliver Palotai, who plays the keyboards for the Power-Metal-Band Kamelot. And both, Floor and Simone were guests on several Ayreon-albums together with Irene Jansen, Floors Sister and Anneke van Giersbergen, who was Floors inspiration to start singing metal.

[@robertcraane7910]

You forgot Ayreon!

[@cjbrett89]

Yup, Floor and Simone are great friends. They're also both great friends with Elize (Amaranthe) and Alissa (Arch Enemy) and have all guessed at each other shows.

[@ralflukas9695]

Elize and Alyssa stepped in when Anette Olzon was ill and could not perform at the Denver show on Nightwishs Imaginaerium tour in 2012 (i believe there is a Video about that: "The Denver Debacle"). Tuomas then called Floor and asked her to be the temporary singer for the rest of the world tour and the rest is history.

[@Shaakti86]

@@ralflukas9695 Well, Floor has been asked by Tuomans before the debacle, if she could imagine to step in as a temporary replacement for Anette, but they didn´t think that it could happen so fast. Anette was pregnant (plus the other strain between the memebers that had arisen), so they had a plan B in mind for the tour. Only Anette did object to a temporary replacement, because she knew....many fans didn´t love her very much. I even remember a video where Anette did storm midsong of the stage, crying. I don´t like her voice a lot, parts of her songs (with her voice) are good, other parts I don´t like, but people were bullying her personally even at concerts that she´s sh*t. That´s not nice either, she still can sing better than most of the popgirls. Or the haters in the internet. ;) It was a bad situation for all of them and neither of them did everything right. I´m not an Anette-fan as I said before, but I can understand that she had a hard time, it WAS difficult, the old songs are not for her voice type, the fans also did blame her and all this crap. I still think that she was not the right person for the vocals, it was rather unfair towards her (I know that Tuomas wanted a not classicals singer, this I blame on him) and I´m happy that she can nowadays do her own stuff. I´ve listened into her newer stuff, suits her far more. Yet Anette made a mistake in these strained circumstances - she got pregnant although she knew that they´d be touring for about a year. I don´t know if it was an "accident" pregnancy, if it was a planned one, it was a stupid, I´ve no other word for it. She could have waited another year with the child, it´s not like she was 48 at the time being. ;) The concerts were booked and many tickets sold and rescheduling is a nightmare and rather understood because of severe sickness or death in the band or a pandemic situation (as we can totally see at the monent). Though we shouldn´t forget that Americans can take everything to the court and even after the death of Michael Jackson they did fight for cashflow. So, yes it is understandable why they didn´t want to reschedule. In Floors case (pregnancy) they did learn from before or and Floor was a bit more professional (in regards to if the Anette-situation was like "I get pregnant, everybody has to do to my whim"), because she got married yet didn´t immediately got pregnant, she wanted to tour. And after their Tampere concert Nightwish went into hiatus-mode and Tuomas said that Floor could have a child in the next 2 years or so before they´d been touring again. This did work out and Floor even did a christmas concert with Marko, about 6 months pregnant. So I really hope that everybody did mature and learn from their past mistakes (maybe not Tarja´s husband/manager, but she still seems a nice person) and we get happy artists who like what they are doing and with whom they are playing. Sorry for this novel.

[@ralflukas9695]

@@Shaakti86 Nightwish fans were bullying Anette? That is not a nice thing. I mean, even if you don't like her voice, you still can be polite and do not need to bully her on a personal level. She did well on some album tracks and can sing very good. I didn't know that some hardcore fans could go that far that the singer leaves the stage in tears. In the documentation "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" they spoke about an illness of Anette, did they mean her pregnancy? I mean thats not an illness, but could be uncomfortable because pregnant women have days during pregnancy when they don't feel well and it is more difficult if you have to perform live on stage. I didn't know that they planned with Floor as a plan B before the tour even started.

[@Shaakti86]

@@ralflukas9695 Yeah, there was bullying of Anette in the internet and there were people e.g. booing at concerts (just a few, but that´s enough). The videos of the Anette-era on KZbin are mostly rather crappy, yet you can clearly hear, that she´s struggeling with Tarja-songs, some songs sound really terrible, especially shortly after joining. But how could anyone expect something else, she´s not classically trained. Tuomas wanted someone with a completely different voice, yet he did oversee, that the old songs mostly wouldn´t work well with Annette. Plus all this crap from firing Tarja, some people said from the beginning that they hate Anette. Thing is, if you really don´t like the singer of the band, then you probably should leave the band, which is what I did after "Dark Passion Play". "Amaranth" was quite poppy, but okay, "Bye Bye Beautiful" isn´t a bad song, either, yet I didn´t like the drama stuff. After Tarja I couldn´t get into Anette´s voice, so I did listen the album once and after that for years only "The Islander", around 2010 also "Master Passion Greed", basically the Marko-songs. So, I didn´t go to concerts and didn´t buy "Imaginaerum" (and did miss nice Marko-songs), just reading sporadicly about them, because I didn´t like Anette´s voice in parts of the songs, so I had the old stuff and was content enough. No need to bother and spit too much hate. After several years Anette got a bit better with the old songs, yet there still was straining (inside and out) as you can see in the documentary and in the body language of the whole band before the break. The illness was the flu, the pregnancy was just on top (I just say hormones). The problems between the bandmembers were there before she even got pregnant. Anette told them about the pregnancy and that she couldn´t complete the booked tour. I don´t know if she thought they would stop touring and tackle the problems with possible recompensation, nobody knows what people write into contracts. But I heard from another european band (medium known), that they had to pay for everything themselves for touring through South America as supporting act and because of that they only do tours through Europe nowadays (and about contractual stuff of some festivals). They are sad for their south american fans, but they have to pay their bills and rather use the money to make albums. Back to Anette. They knew about her pregnancy, but didn´t want to stop the tour (or there migth have been fines in the american contract, Americans can nearly sue everything), so they wanted to have a temporary maternity leave fill-in (Floor), yet Anette didn´t want another singer as temporary replacement. Especially someone of Floors caliber, because Anette knew that "fans" didn´t like her and Floor is well, just Floor. So, pride and fear on Anette´s side, not a good combination and pain for her, not an easy situation. With Epica this wasn´t a problem. When Simone fell ill for months in 2008 (I think nearly half a year) because of MRSA, they did cancel/postpone concerts, yet then brought in Amanda Somerville as a temporary singer replacement. But this was a different situation, as Amanda did work with the band before and was vocal coach for both Simone and Floor. Plus she´s married to Sander Gommans, former guitarist of After Forever. :D

[@JoTummers]

The beautiful readhead is Simone Simons, vocalist of Epica. Floor Jansen has been invited as a guest here. Both ladies are from the Netherlands (my country) :-)

[@cyberjarl]

The man who shouts "Floor Jansen" at the end with a growling voice is Mark Jansen (no family relation). Both he and Floor were together in a band called After Forever in the 90s/early 2000s until Mark quit the band due to creative differences. He went on to found Epica with his girlfriend at the time - Simone. Simone and Floor are close friends and have been for years - this is why they have such good chemistry on stage. Mark and Simone are no longer a couple, but they still work very well together. Simone is married with Oliver Polotai, the keyboards player of another metal band : Kamelot (in fact she was pregnant during this show which is why she didn't headbang as violently as Floor xD ) . Very early Epica (then named Sahara Dust) was in fact Kamelot's support band during their Epica tour (from their namesake album), and it is from Kamelot's Epica album title that the name of band comes from. Kamelot was the support band during Nightwish's 2012 Imaginaerum US tour, during which then-Nightwish-vocalist Anette Olzon fell ill minutes before their Denver show. Kamelot's session vocalists Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz covered for Anette and the show went on while she was hospitalized. Nightwish's decision to go forward with the show upset Anette and she publicly criticized the band on her blog. This was the last straw in Anette's and Nightwish's already troubled relationship and days later, the band fired her, with Floor acting as her replacement for the remainder of the tour. We know the rest of the story. Elize Ryd was also considered by Nightwish as a vocalist - way back in 2005 when they fired their first vocalist, Tarja Turunen. They thought Elize was too young and inexperienced at the time and went with Anette instead. Elize went on to found her own band, Amaranthe. Unrelated to this, on their first album with Anette, Nightwish released a song titled Amaranth. Are your heads spinning yet? XD

[@papaverweg]

She’s Simone Simons and is a close friend of Floor for years indeed. And Simone is not headbanging or windmilling cause she’s pregnant at that time. The one who’s shout out Floor’s name @ the end was Mark Jansen, a former band member and founder of After Forever (Floor’s first band she entered as background singer @ 16yo) No relationship between those two but coincidence carrying the same sure name.

This is one of the best rock performance in modern times

[@MrErikbaan]

The way Floor headbangs at the end is called the windmill :D You should listen to more Epica, it's good for the soul ;-)

[@GunChronicles]

Awesome pick Chris. Thank you for requesting this song. You rock Brother! :-)

[@black4pienus]

Nightwish uses orchestra and choir too. They just can't take them with them on world tour. So the choir and orchestra make backing tracks for them. I think Epica usually does the same.

[@reguslav]

Simone Simons from Epica is a good friend of Floor, they used to live togehter too (on college I believe).

[@bertusvanhal8855]

you must lissen to "ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop 2010" the second band of Floor.

[@jpstothard]

Guys you need to check out Stabat Mater Delarosa from the same gig, as well as Consign To Oblivion live at the Zenith by Epica.... you won't be disappointed!!🤘💕

[@ronjoanne5980]

Loved the reaction. Thanks for this one.

[@Blackomegaco]

You have to watch the entire concert. It is almost 3 hrs. long. It is one of the best concerts ever.

[@evilvolts]

The orchestra and choir make them Epic that's why they are called Epica

[@danielelmorat3917]

ORCHESTRA..CHORUS.. vocals classics/guturals ...100 % metal symphonic ...EPICA/NIGHTWISH SIMONE SIMONS/FLOOR JANSEN...GREAT BANDS ,VOCALS ...AND FRIENDS!!!

[@Tamm1965]

Simone simons... both dutch... proud🇳🇱🤘😎 Another dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation. Try the video Angels. Sharon den Andel self taught singer.

[@ronaldakkermans8166]

If you want to see more of Floor enjoying singing with others check out Ayreon's Valley of the Queens from Universe - The Best of Ayreon Live, which she sings with two other symphonic metal singers, Anneke van Giersbergen (Dutch like Floor and Epica) and Marcela Bovio (Mexican). Totally different style but beautiful nonetheless.

[@lost_in_a_crowd_of_3257]

the female singer for Epica is Simone Simons and just love her mic stand it's a big S

[@DJ8017]

My favorite song by Epica is... EPICA - In All Conscience (EPIC METAL FEST Aftermovie)

[@cueshebarrowedtime9544]

and that is Called Symphony Metal

[@calebloaiza4826]

You've got to react to “Yours is an empty hope" one of the heaviest stuff by Nightwish. Go and check it out!

[@alanfoster6589]

Absolutely they must. Wembley-2015.

[@ytcag2007]

Great reaction, guys. Thank you for the comments, as always, spot on. Another fun fact... A very high misconception with Epica guitarist Mark JANSEN and Floor... they are NOT related. Jansen just happens to be a very common last name in the Netherlands. Keep rockin'!! 😊❤🤘🤘

[@oddlyeven1441]

I am so happy I have gotten to know your music through this channel! You're awesome!

[@evilvolts]

Epica singer is Simone Simons and yes Floor and Simone have been friends for awhile

[@jimcampbell5464]

now you know Floor has an amazing range. It's time to see and hear Floor growl. "yours is an empty hope" live at wembly

[@eddiehesselman3904]

And again a super cool reaction video from both of you. I'm still waiting for a reaction from Nightwish, Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean,live Buenos Aires, i hope it comes soon because you 2 are the best when it comes to emotional reactions. Kind regards from the Netherlands.

[@TheWolfHunterZ]

thank you! there are so many songs and bands its hard to keep up lol!

[@Thorgrim247]

Great reaction video to both of you! Paece.

[@arnaldotanta3630]

Two dutch godesses Floor jansen and simone simons.when they sing the angels are jealous.and simone was 3 months pregnant on this one.they are best friends for many years . By the way the founder of epica is mark jansen who is in after forever with floor and after forever toured with nightwish and simone is married with oliver palotai keyboardist of kamelot and floor is married with hannes van dahl drummer of sabaton , all the bands are linked for that

[@Cobinja]

Every time I listen to that chorus, I'm ready to ride into battle afterwards 😉 And imagine that chorus being played in Avengers Endgame in the final battle against Thanos when the MCU ladies torm forward 🙂

[@danielnystrom7310]

Looks like a proper eargasm on both of you. Love how you two always smile. Thats why i keep on coming back. Love the reaction. Thank you guys. Been lissening to your music all day at work 😁 love it. Thanks again guys. AND i think its time for another Sabaton now isnt it?! ❤

[@MountainMetal]

Good job! More Epica, please. Live, with orchestra and choir.

[@gonim85]

1- *FLOOR JANSEN* started with "AFTER FOREVER" It was a great band 2- *SIMONE SIMONS* started with "EPICA" 3- *TARJA TURUNEN* was the first singer of "NIGHTWISH" she was great too.

[@Acidbather]

Loved the reaction, this song never fails to impress. Please don’t stop with Epica here though, they are so much more than this song (as great as it is) and unfortunately many reactors never venture beyond Sancta Terra. As you can see from the comments, Design Your Universe or Consign to Oblivion are probably your best bets for a follow up.

[@manuelharrmann9690]

U guys should check "Yours is an empty hope" from Nightwish! Awesome! Btw - nice Video again!

[@daveraven1821]

Please react to “Jillian” by Within Temptation from live dvd BlackSymphony you will enjoy this performance. Greetings from Mexico...🙏🤘🏻

[@ronaldboers8061]

Take a look at the version with the orchestral overture to build up the tension. This is how you open a show. This also means you have seen the holy trinity of the Dutch metal goddesses. She called Sharon den Adel and is one of the founding members. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZjUZYZrr6mUnNU
