FIRST TIME Hearing "7 Days To The Wolves": NIGHTWISH Reaction!!

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

One of my favourite live performances by Nightwish. The guys having fun, Floor releasing her inner wolf, Tuomas windmilling fit to rock his keyboards off the podium. 🤘🤘❤❤

[@don-o-seven1437]

agree. love the message and perfprmance of this one. all but those last "seven days to the wolves" repeat by Marco. almost spoken and seems out of place.

[@nostrathomas2437]

Yes Emppu does intentionally .drag the beat in this solo. Not a lot of people pick up on it. I assume that’s why he has a shit eating grin when he does it because he knows he’s being cheeky lol

[@PaulOutdoors]

"Wembley lets goooo".... and it did. Epicness right there from start to finish. I have no words to describe how this phenomenal group of musicians reach right in and give me the "feels". We are privileged to witness musical greatness. "7 Days to the Wolves"... layer after layer of magnificence with surprises all the way and but one of so many gems from a Nightwish treasure chest filled to the brim. It is criminal how Nightwish is ignored by "mainstream" radio. Thank you sir for a great reaction. Paul 🙏😊👍

[@BrendonChase_2015]

The song is definitely in my Nightwish top-10, but this performance in particular is in my top-3. All because of the crazy, out of this world crescendo Marko and Floor take it to. Hurling cosmic thunderbolts caught on camera with that iconic fire-breath Floor where you paused for a replay. TY, this was a real treat and all around great reaction! Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘

[@phils866]

When Floor yells 'Wembley, let's go', and her silent scream near the end; goosebumps, every single time! Floor doesn't even need to speak, or sing, and she has you! Incredible charisma and stage presence. And she can sing, too, apparently! ;-) You picked out the horn part, which I had actually missed, despite listening to this many times. You have good ear, sir! But then, every time I listen to a Nightwish performance, I notice something different. Tuomas's compositions are so layered, they keep you interested. And again, as always, they are all so enjoying what they do, it is uplifting to watch. Another enjoyable and imformative reaction.

[@RonniePeterson]

For me a really really great reaction to a Nightwish classic. Emppu's solo, just like every one I have ever heard or seen, is pure class. Thank you.

[@petrik8550]

That's good still picture of Floor at 14:40 😂 She looks like vampire queen 🧛‍♀

[@reuben8190]

Great reaction! Glad you made a comment about Floor going wild! “Breathing fire” haha. Nice! It’s one of the highlights in this performance. So powerful!

[@helky8]

Truly best part of the video ❤️😁

[@eTraxx]

Yeah ... that point she unhinges her jaw like all Dragons can do ...

[@jaskau2462]

Unleshing the inner Wolf she's got... 😁👍

[@572Btriode]

Very good Mr. MMR, your interesting reactions encompass some good analyses and insights. I believe you're hearing some strings and brass from the London Symphonic Orchestra, that's what's on the tracks and Tuomas always works with them and their arranger Pip Williams, who incidentally has said on video that Tuomas is a genius. As I have no chance of ever scoring and arranging for an orchestra in the remaining 5 billion years of our sun, I would bow to Pip's better judgement on these matters, not that I thought otherwise anyway. I understand Tuomas leaves Emppu to write solos on his own and he can be trusted to come up with just what is needed, certainly there is nothing wasted or frivolous embellishment in their music or lyrics; everything is there for a reason and has its place. I believe this song was inspired by Stephen King's "Wolves of Calla" from the Dark Tower V, however, I think its message is that life is only seven days behind you, so you need to keep going forwards or get left behind.

[@Thorgrim247]

Floor loves this song and you can tell from her powerful vocal performance. Carpe Diem!

[@duizeltjeeekhoorn6890]

Thanks for explaining more about Emppu's solo. Each reactor always gives more information. Glad youre geekiness let you play it more than once. So I learn and enjoy the music even more ( is that even possible, yes it is)

[@chrystalll1011]

This! It’s wonderful to see our beloved Nightwish songs through the eyes of a specific niche. Love his guitarist perspective.

[@frank1963]

I follow your journey of NightWish, I don’t comment a lot. But I have to tell you that I really enjoy you enjoying them. You bring something different to the reactor world and I like it a lot. Keep it up. 🫶🤘🇳🇱

[@bocatampere]

Great reaction 🙏🏻👍 And someone once said that Emppu’s strings are so loose that we ordinary people can get any sound of that 😃

[@jabgibson]

This is one of the best Nightwish songs. That frame you paused on Floor near the end, is the best shot that look forward to seeing every time I see this video. Nice find, and like always great observations on all the subtle intricacies.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This is a powerful song and extremely well staged live performance. 😎👍

[@NickBR57]

Ah, at last. My number 3 and one of Floor's favourites. You noticed the silent howl! For pretty amazing Marco bass watch when you get to The Poet and the Pendulum, when Marco does the heavy vocal about the rotting Poet, his hands are all over the fretboard at thd same time. Fantastic. Played 235 times on tour its a current staple - 17 times in the current tour so I'm hoping it will be at Wembley again in November. Yes, Marco commonly does that little rasping hand-off at the dnd of a vocal.

[@stamasd8500]

Again I have to give credit to the person who built Tuomas' keyboard stand. Because it didn't break after all that punishment. :)

[@majbrat]

To me I like how Emppu falters a tiny bit in the middle of his solo (I think it was an emotional slow down) because he is smiling so much at the crowd. Having fun! Great guitar player with the hugest heart. His smile throwing his pick and connecting with the person who caught it. LoL on our Fire Breathing Valkyrie Goddess!

[@phillipgross1887]

oh yes another piece of chocolate...........oh so good.....floor looks awesome towards the end, looks like she's roaring.... 👍👍🤘🤘

[@massivemetalreactions]

Brother! Thanks for always checking it out. 🤘😎🤘.

[@TimoArula]

This song has a special place in my heart !!! Not just because wolf is Estonian national animal but the windmill battle between Tuomas and Floor .... Plus, Floor's inner Wolf Howl (Dragon breaths fire) holy mother of Odin !!! I have seen this song Live in my home country Estonia, all though it was without Marko, but Troy really steps up and harmonizes with Floor like never before. Still getting goosebumps, even if I write in here. And that Emppu solo... He just teases you with that millisecond (just look at that grin he is making). The title is taken from a King's novel called “Wolves of the Calla”. But the conception of the book has nothing to do with the text behind the song, it is far more inspired by the film "Dead Poets' Society". The main idea is - one must live his life the best he can, to strive for his aims, because the wolves are always 7 days behind you and they will catch you if your life is not of full value... and then you will be only dead meat. That's what Tuomas said in one interview some time ago. Howl and thank you!!! NWSU 🤘🐺🤘.

[@richardwest6358]

Floor has a wolf tattoo behind one ear - and a dog tattoo behind the other.

The theme in this one is cool aswell... Much love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙

[@lettyalday7879]

One of my favorites by Nightwish and also one of my favorite guitar solos by Emppu. This performance rocks 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Henrik_Holst]

08:26 Well you know, A Wizard is never late, nor are they early 🙂

[@massivemetalreactions]

Awesome 🤘😎🤘

[@chryse]

I love this song so much. The energy, the rhythm, the power.

[@karolka4567]

Can't wait for someone to react to this: Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@louisminten7889]

One of my favourites, build up after build up and at the end of the song she almost becomes a wolf herself, with that wide open mouth🤯🤘🐺

[@christoneymobile]

When it comes to Marco's masterful use of the bass, keep in mind, the bass is his second instrument. He could hold his own against Empuu or Troy on a standard six-string as he originally played guitar. Can't wait until you meet "The Beast" and as far as I have seen there are only a few songs where he plays both parts, Elvinjig/Elvinpath is a sure bet.

[@chriso6719]

Yes, the lyric 'And suffer like all the dead children' was Marko's line. Hadn't really taken notice of Tuomas keyboard part that you liked after the change, Troy's Bouzouki always catches my attention in that part. The song itself is telling you to go out and live your life as best you can, as the 'Wolves' are always 7 days behind you. The song title was inspired by the Stephen King book 'Wolves of Calla'

[@budgreen5724]

I’m just an old school metalhead myself. I think this was your best reaction yet. You’re getting really good at this bro.

[@massivemetalreactions]

Thanks for that bro 🤘😎🤘

[@FromG2eminor]

I love your geek out moments...lol

[@Frightspear]

It's Nightwish, expect the unexpected! Love this song! I think it's inspired by Stephen King's "The Wolves of Calia" but the message is to live life to the full because the "wolves" are always 7 days behind you.

[@barneyfontenot1462]

glad you piced up that high note....your the first reactor to mention it if not the first to notice it🤘👍

[@_zuri_]

I love that fire breathing part at the end! Imagine being in the front row for that? I'd definitely melt xD

[@robertsheeler321]

Fantastic reaction again TY

[@bocatampere]

Emppu’s solo 🔥🤘❤️🇫🇮

[@bocatampere]

And few noticed that High note that Floor hits, you noticed 🙏🏻

[@Green-Lyon]

Ann Waychoff's second favorite song. And WAY up there for me too. Great comment about the the background horns. Never really consciously registered them before.

[@wanmac31]

😊🇫🇮❤️🎼✨💙🤘 Those geek outs are wery best, ty 🎼✨💙👍

[@mircokeler5775]

I bet you’ll love the guitar solo in “Dead Boys Poem”. That song brought me to Nightwish 20 years ago and I still get chills. The version in Buenos Aires is the best in my opinion. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed… ;)

[@heedoei]

Yes, my favourite! Thnx for reacting 🎉

[@AGDinCA]

One of my two favorite Nightwish songs! I love the instrumentation and musicianship of this track.

[@tonycarroll7925]

Thx my friend. I'm loving following your NW journey 🤘

[@CCEDE73]

I love the acoustic expression in this treck :-)

[@wannabedane4046]

so happy you mentioned the start and the end circling back to the riff - not everyone does ;o)

[@joonasvahasalo6635]

Youre getting pretty good at picking out interesting stuff out of these.

[@bbeckett5103]

Do not mess with Floor! So impressive

[@jamieberrings9753]

Love this song!!!

[@markusjackel2132]

HOOOWL !!! WEMBLEY LETS GOOO !! This is a solid powerhouse - Build up followed by Build up by Build up…..awesome. Only Nightwish will dare to play a Bouzouki in a metal song and make it sound great :-) And in the second half our Queen nearly turns into a Werewolf :-) This is just great. All hail the Valkyrie Goddess !

[@crabuki1273]

I won't be alone in suggesting this, but Ayreon is gonna be right up your alley.

[@massivemetalreactions]

It’s actually on the list

[@frank1963]

@@massivemetalreactions if you react to Ayreon it might be good to start with “ The Day That The World Brakes Down “. It’s a concept Album that introduces you to a great Album. It has 11 singers in it that are all great in their own bands so many rabbit holes to follow then.

[@marcell6915]

One of my favorite songs among 20 other NW songs

Hi, great reaction, because Floor is our Goddess, best regards

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

Another awesome reaction man! I appreciate your input on the small things that could easily be missed.

Really loving your Nightwish Journey ❤️ Please, could you do reaction to Amorphis too? Another great metal band from Finland 👍🔥🤟

Loved your insights!

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

[@nodonn656]

You mentioned that you couldn't think of anything that Floor can't do, vocally. I'm pretty sure she's yet to bust out a Basso Profundo ... but it's Floor, she's probably working on it. 😂

[@juantimer]

Wembly let's gooooo

🤩👌💥💯 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

[@NZWozza]

Must be close to getting that Nightwish t-shirt and banner? ;)

[@pinkierural]

to me, it sounded like an accident as it felt slightly off. Sometimes when I hear delays, it doesn't bother me, but here it did just slightly. I guess it's subjective.

[@Martin-re8ei]

Thrash metal. Yeah. You need to listen to master passion greed kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJzMk2Oaft-cjs0 They have never and will never play this live. It's one of 3 songs dealing with the firing of Tarja. This song is about her husband Nightwish doesn't get angrier than this.

[@massivemetalreactions]

On the list for sure

[@qpae8503]

Emppu delaying those couple of notes on purpose in the solo.
