Hit that like button if you would be so kind :) ....Thanks for watching... we are 150 miles apart in lockdown so we record our reactions remotely so maybe not a slick as others!... All our reactions are genuine unlike most other channels, you wont find those cheesy fake shocked thumbnail faces either!.. We are a couple of Brits reacting to music and your requests. Thanks for watching :)

[@nicod1361]

oh my you guys have no idea what you have stepped into :) the song Ghost Love Score from this legendary and seminal concert is the most reacted to song on YT ever! with some vocal coach reactors having over 2.5 Million views, & yes you had the right version of Song Of Myself,the poem is not done in live shows. Most of their songs are actually compositions,not your average straight up typical music structure,the fan base on YT is massive,very active and passionate.Stay with live performances as they excel at it & this Wacken 2013 is epic. not rock opera tho,it's symphonic metal, Bless The Child is another fantastic song from this concert,also StoryTime,EverDream & Romanticide, keep in mind that all song recommendations from everyone are good,Floor Jansen (Dutch) is the 3rd,current since 2012 & final vocalist,she had only been in with the band for 10 months at this time,and yes they are still active,2020 release of Human//Nature is amazing with lyric videos avail - no live yet,Floor also dropped some recent YT covers that have just blown up on YT : Alone-Heart,Adagio - Lara Fabian, Ave maria, Oblivion, & others, and her vocal diversity is on full display with her performances from the Dutch tv show Beste Zangers 2019 - on YT, she sings : Shallow,Phantom of The Opera with Henk Poort - the orig Dutch Phantom,she opened the show with Vilja Lied and blew the other singers minds. so welcome aboard this NW journey with their amazing singer Floor, it's a fantastic ride. cheers

[@Green-Lyon]

Thank goodness, no fake shocked-face thumbnails! 👍

[@BritPopsReact]

@Green-Lyon Thanks for pointing that out. Only real reactions to actual songs we have never heard (unless stated) And no fake shocked faces the ones we have are funny enough.

[@agungsdmp6117]

@@BritPopsReact if you want their havier song, try to reaction to their song called Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean live at Buenos Aires. That song is actual banger 🤘🏼

[@andrewhutchinson8025]

Fellow Brit here (Hartlepool in the north east) it's refreshing to see reactions from people who don't jump up and down,fake tears and screaming. Nightwish are incredible I won't go into all their particulars especially as there are plenty of comments outlining their history etc. However this band has something very special about them. With Floor as front woman they have such a powerful sound and presence live. She can sing whatever she likes she's that versatile. Their compositions are complex yet catchy and the lyrics are very clever and go into such varied subjects such as evolution, biology, fantasy and depression, love and loss. Nightwish are definitely best heard live and as your reactions have all been at wacken 2013 perhaps do a song from their Wembley concert (2015) or Tampere Finland (2015)or Buenos Aires Argentina (2018) you won't regret it. Thanks and if course I've subscribed 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧

[@gabriel.bardac]

Hello Brits in Lockdown ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air festival 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience. Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. 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. As I saw, you both enjoyed the powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. You stated correctly, the live version is shorter, because the last part named "Love" it's indeed a deep meaningful poem, not suited for a live show. However, you can find in YT a montage with the full song, "Song Of Myself - Extended Version" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaS1mIKep5h9qs0 . Hope you'll continue on this path. 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 " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013 (epic score) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIrNep9-jKd0jNE "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqfOiqqFf7-ChLc "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4nMZaFuma-WfJo "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKvCaIJ5eLafjtU "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 "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) kzbin.info/www/bejne/haeydWmumsijnpY "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_UlnxuZZyNors​ "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) kzbin.info/www/bejne/poezhYh7jJaDe68 "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKCbn5aBlJqesMU "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmopnSGjtKSi8k​ "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKOtp36Qg6qbbck "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXZipmClpmKos0 "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 Mexico City in 2015 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqbaimSaYrB8qdU Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..) The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. I have nothing against previous singers, but I do not consider myself the most suitable person to give specific recommendations from their repertoires. ** I think it's your place, fans of previous Nightwish eras, to present to the reactors the best recommendations with Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon, because you know and appreciate them directly. I encourage you to add the best recommendations in the comments. ** That being said, I will add here the message left the other days by an old fan of the band, @Fabrizio Gorla: " To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs. Just be fair and don’t make a comparison if you don’t want an open war in your comment section. * The Tarja era *: The power of Tarja - Nightwish - Wishmaster [Live] - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3u3nXtrZ5Z4bNk The lyrics of this song are a treasure of citations from fantasy books.

Then 17 weeks ago she dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 272K views. Just before Christmas she made a powerful cover of "Ave Maria" - already 293K views. 14 weeks ago she added a remastered / remixed version of the first one, "Let It Go" - already 196K. 12 weeks ago she added to the list a powerful cover of "Adagio" by Lara Fabian (!!!) - 410K views now. Then, just 7 weeks ago she gave us the last one so far: "Oblivion" by M83 - 460K views in 7 weeks.. Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.

Well... we were warned.... and it's the main man Gabriel, it's a pleasure to meet you sir and your epic comment. I think this evening I was sat down just flicking through some channels on the TV and decided to release our NW reaction and not did we expect a 'wonderful' army to contact us and make our fingers ache from all our replies :) NW is now for sure going to be apart of our reactions, Ghost Love Score seems a popular request and what many other reactors do which we shall certainly do, and then it appears you have already created a nice playlist from which we can choose from, we look forward to going on the Nightwish journey and wish all your army welcome to join us too :) Thanks for watching ang being involved #BritsInLockdown

[@gabriel.bardac]

@@BritPopsReact Looking at your reaction, I (and many other fans) have been able to realize that, although it is something new for you, you have appreciated the quality of Nightwish music and you are open to this genre of music. Please consider the list of songs suggested above as a proof of their musical diversity (they have a huge repertoire of over 100 songs, created in the 25 years of the band's existence) and not as a mandatory route to follow. Nightwish is a unique band that goes beyond categories, keeping an original sound. The above message is intended to be the equivalent of a map and a compass for you, the new reactors, in an ocean of music :)

@Gabriel Bardac, Thanks for the great comment and the very valuable introduction, we will sit down and digest it. We will be working on another reaction soon and we ill be genuine and totally honest with what we hear, no fake reaction on this channel.

There is no typical Nightwish song as others have said. Rock opera, Celtic Rock, Thrash, Ballards, Opera, Classical, Jazz... you name it, they play it. They have one of the best composers/song writers in the world today with one of the best singers in the world today but all of them are top tier unmatched musicians that have no egos and love what they do. They are a one of a kind band, utterly unique and unmatched.

Welcome to Nightwish - the army will be marching in soon. Look out for Gabriel Bardac's list - lots of information and recommendation. Almost everybody will tell you to listen to Ghost Love Score for the same show - Wacken 2013. You have just met the best female voice in the world - again, listen to Ghost Love Score, and you get to see about 30-40% Floor voice capacities - Most singers sing what they can - Floor sings what she wants (as long as she feel the song) She's a storyteller (and so is Marko, the bass player who sang the chorus with her on this song) Any genre, from Opera to Growling and everything in between.

[@BritPopsReact]

@WannaBeDane, We have no idea what we are doing or where we are going with NightWish but we have received the introduction email from Gabriel with tons of information and we will read that and digest it.

Hello there, Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 checking in 👍 🤘 🤘 That 13,5 minute version you mentioned, is a tribute to Ann who sadly passed away last year - this song was her favorite Nightwish song. Ann was the godmother of the Nightwish Army, and always welcomed new reactors into the Nightwish Universe - the role Gabriel now has taken responsibility of (doing a great job 👍) Symphonic Metal is deep deep lyrics, extremely tight music, often composed in chapters like symphony music - and they have the top of the top in singers in the world, not kidding, and often female lead singers, all highly trained and skilled, which will become obvious when you look deeper into Symphonic Metal - just follow Gabriel's lead. Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰

How much talent do you want on one stage? They are all at the top of the technical tree. World-class musicians who check their ego at the door and serve the music and its needs and, most importantly, truly care about their fans (and also the backstage people who make things happen for them). This whole set by them will go down as one of the best live performances in history and I am not fan-boying here. It's like they all came down from Asgard to give us a glimpse of perfection before we all crawl back to our oblivion again.

Nightwish Army Germany checking in. You started with one of the best Songs from that Concert. Do yourself a treat and start with Ghost Love Story from that Concert.....that is the best point to start your Dive into the Rabbithole called Nightwish. Prepare for a Ride. And it will be a good one :-)....... and by looking at your faces I think that our Queen of Valkyries captured two more souls....dont resist...this happens to all of us. Every Song from them is different. Just follow the List from Gabriel - he knows. You will not be disappointed. And if you dont know which song from Wacken 2013 should be your next - choose one. Which one ever....All Killers - no filler. Oh...and a little favor we would ask for - If you pause the Video and restart...go back 10 Seconds before you start again....will help to keep the flow going... Thanks for your Reaction ! We are waiting for more now ! Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !

A '7' is very modest for us Nightwish Army. You will definitely up this grade as you listen to more songs of them especially with our Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. You now heard only a small fraction of what she is able to do with her voice. She is considered the best and most versatile female singer of our time. As live concerts with Nightwish were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation Floor discovered KZbin in the last year and left many nice presents on her KZbin channel. Stunning covers, chats with other singers, vocal masterclasses and so much more. Her 'Fan Friday' videos are hilarious. To see how she developed her versatility check out her former bands 'After Forever' and 'Revamp'. My favourite song with After Forever is 'Energize Me'. They made a very good music video out of this one. She joined the band at the age of 16 in 1997. After they disbanded in 2009, Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song, such as from full operatic to serious growling in seconds. The songs 'Disdain' and 'Wild Card' are good examples. September 2012 came the call from Nightwish to fill in to finish their American Tour at first. But she stayed on for the rest of their world tour, culminating in the now legendary Wacken concert. After this Floor became a permanent member of Nightwish. A combination made in Walhalla. She kept on performing with 'Revamp' for a couple of years, but it became clear that she couldn't combine the two for much longer, so they disbanded in 2016. Here side project 'Northward' is also worth a look. The song 'When Love Died' is a must see. Her mindblowing performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country, where she was relatively unknown until then. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (4 years now). a horse and pony, a dog and 3 cats she found this.

I 1st heard NW about 20yrs ago,liked a few songs over the yrs,but then I heard about this band called AfterForever with a very tall beautiful & talented singer,when I 1st heard Floor sing a cover of Alone with AF I was SLAYED and since then I have been a fan ,then she came to Nightwish and sublime serendipity took place,and so it goes,magic,pure and simple.

Hi guys. I think you’re just starting to realise that Nightwish and their army and not just another band and fans. All the songs are very different.

Hi guys, I'm in the UK and have been listening to Nightwish since lockdown and am totally addicted especially to this lead singer, Floor Jansen. Her range of singing styles and range is phenominal. This is one of their more basic songs showing very little of her abilities. Try Ghost Love Score, ten minutes of class.

UK Senior Division reporting for duty. 'Ghost Love Score' is the entry point for most new reactors to Nightwish. It features Floor's vocal range, though only a percentage of her amazing vocal ability. Tuomas (too - oh - mass) on keyboards - our Metal Mozart - writes the vast majority of the music and just about all of the lyrics. He founded the band back in 1996. Every song you do will surprise you in one way or another.

[@chriscross2473]

I think the difference between Nightwish and evanescence (well, one of the differences - i may be a little biased towards Nightwish but I still like Evanescence) is, that after hearing 3 songs of evanescence (like "my immortal" "call me when you're sober" and "bring me to life") you know what the band is about and what to expect from them. With Nightwish you go for 3 songs (lets say "song of myself" "Kiss while your lips are still red" and "Wishmaster) and wonder what song to expect next. Just because they are so diverse. Well actually now that I think of it, there are more differences between Nightwish and Evanescence than there are simularities. The only similiar things are they are a band and have a female lead. If you do more, you gonna see/hear what I mean.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Chris Cross, Thanks again, although to be honest there also we have probably only heard the Evanescence that made it to commercial radio play, so we have little idea as to their songs either. It's gonna get interesting along the way. Thanks again.

They must be very busy just doing that. And what happens going forwards, are they going to be checking out our reactions and ensuring we do NW proud? It's all very new to us and we had no idea such "Army" existed. Just want to ensure we don't do anything we shouldn't Thanks again. We have "Ghost Love Score" coming up.

[@johannessilver8653]

Nightwish is the pioneer of this genre and the most awesome symphonic metal band. They do what they want ...all genres just check more their so versatile material. They do not have a WRONG song...all are awesome. The keyboard player is the best music writer of modern times. He is also a poet and there is a poem in the end of this song. In some songs there is so intelligent message that most people just do not understand them and the deepness of them. Do first this whole concert, then do Tampere concert 2015, then do "End of an Era" 2005, then do "From Wishes to Eternity" 2000 and many more....you start to get the idea and surely you have thumb up likes plenty.

[@coy0te9]

The thing to know is, there doesn't seem to be a typical Nightwish song. There are similarities, big guitar and keyboard riffs in support of vocals, compositional tricks you'll soon recognize and of course a powerful woman's voice, but lyrical mood, rhythmic changes etc. can vary wildly, as you'll find in this concert, which is an increasingly key moment in the bands history.

[@BritPopsReact]

Great reaction guys! 👍🤘 Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had, she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today. The other vocalists are - Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals. Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals. Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera. The other band members are - Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland) Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland) Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland) Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom) Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is extremely varied. The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This was the 14th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set. Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible. Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Ghost Love Score, Storytime, Romanticide, Ghost River, Ever Dream, Dark Chest of Wonders, Nemo, Amaranth and I Wish I had an Angel all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken). Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance. Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version. Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way. Prepare for the Nighwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘

Hello British guys in COVID, welcome into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish and their incredible talented female vocalist Floor Jansen (say Yahn-Sen) Although the band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist Floor is not. She’s from the Netherlands (Dutch). This song has four parts but only part #1 till #3 are always performed live. Part #4 (named: love) is more or less the poem spoken by multiple people ending in “all that left is the change from G to E minor. (The whole text of part #4 is projected during the song on the screen behind the band)

I don't know about the other one but one of the two better selling Bands from Finland might be Lordi, the Winner of the european song contest 2006. Fun fact: Nightwish attended the national elections for the ESC in 2000. They got an overwhelmingly 1st place from the public vote but the jury put them in 2nd to last place so their total rank was 3rd in the end and they didn't attend the ESC that year. People all over europe predicted, Nightwish could have easily won the ESC 2000 if they had attended.

@MichaelMike The Russian Bot LOL, yup I would agree

Not sure if someone else has already mentioned this but Nightwish wrote and performed a song called, "Sleepwalker" for the national Finnish Eurovision Song Contest tryouts in 2000. Although they placed first in the Finnish telephone vote, the jury overruled them, selecting Nina Åström instead. So metal would have to wait a few years.

@Green-Lyon Thanks for checking our reaction and for your comment. Actually, as yet and I had read and replied to almost all the comments, I have yet to see anyone else mention that one, so Thanks very much for that great comment. How do you think that person feels about overruling that? ouch We will be reacting to more NW very soon. So check that out and thanks for your support. #BritsinLockdown

There is no such thing as normal with Nightwish. Toumas is a genius and Floor is a goddess.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Allen Johnstone Yup, we are kind of getting the picture. Thanks for checking out our reaction and leaving a comment. More Nightwish coming soon. #BritsinLockdown

[@billmorrison8292]

Greetings from Gtr Manchester. I'm 72 and found Nightwish just before the first lockdown. I was never into Metal, screaming men with no voices didn't appeal to me. Then the revelation of Nightwish and they have carried me through Isolation and Lockdown. They are the most diverse band I have ever heard and I rate them at the same level as Pink Floyd, Queen and The Who. Floor Jansen can sing anything, she is a music teacher and has a KZbin channel where she has released covers and Masterclass video's during Lockdown. Most of her covers are better than the originals. You will find that every song is different and watching the LIve versions is always better. Enjoy.

[@lnsmanning]

You guys should just react to every single song from this show. I promise you will not be disappointed, every song is different. Plus, the Nightwish Army will approve, so there’s that. Lastly, when you go back and review this song you will rate it at least 9+.

[@BritPopsReact]

@lnsmanning We have "Ghost Love Song" coming soon and we didn't want to set the score too high and have nowhere to go, but we get your comment. We really had no idea what we were walking into and that was our honest reaction. We have since had the full Nightwish Army welcome and have been fully updated with all the information and songs to react to. We will have more reactions coming soon and hope to make them different and informative too. Hope you check us out again. #BritsinLockdown

[@markvanderhoek1750]

Ghost love score is the ultimate starting point.

welcome to the magical world of Nightwish, I've just seen your latest reaction to ghost love score.. thx for both reactions. You're in for quite a ride :-)

[@BritPopsReact]

@Vincent Masschelein Thanks you for watching both of our reactions, and for your positive comments

[@Bethuriel]

Thnx 4 this. Go on with the stuff. Welcome to the Nightwish army^^. Please listen to ghost love score ,also at Wacken. And, i am sure this will leave you speachless, the Gratest show on earth at Tampere. Due to Marco's voice , the wiking bassman, give The phantom of the opera a try, the"old" Nightwish singer Tarja will show her quality as well. Peace from Germany and please stay save

[@BritPopsReact]

This is an Army!.... loving the comments and yes that the next one on the list!! :) be sure to subscribe

[@Bethuriel]

@@BritPopsReact Yes Sir, i did as you told^^ . Btw, it is ok to start with any NW song. Only GLS is by far the most popular "starter song". And 4 more , or shall i say, almost all information due to the band, the members, hisory and all that jazz, just follow Gabriel. He is our" general". But beware! It is a bloody deep rabbit hole. So walk on gilded splinters. Peace from Germany

[@mattgraham2835]

this is a good and strong song that definitely helps to showcase what this band is capable of creating colorful musical compositions such creative geniuses

[@alexcrouwel6942]

Welcome to your new favorit band, i saw your other video too GLS at Wacken and now you have scratched the surface but there is so many more and they draw your attention because it sounds different they realy have no equal the musicians are awesome Floor is out of the world great and there is nothing she can't sing but you will soon find out how versatile Nightwish is but Gabriel had found you and gave you a ton of info and links to follow so enjoy the ride and i know what you're thinking right now.....new favorit band??? it happened to a lot of the army guys Nightwish will suck you in and never let go because you can expect the unexpected every time greetings from the Netherlands

[@BritPopsReact]

@Alex Crouwel Greetings to the Netherlands from 2 guys in the UK. Yes, we have been provided with more information that we could have imagined. We will take our time to digest it and react to more once we let it all sink in. Thanks for checking out our reaction.

Is that the stomping of boots I hear? Must be the Nightwish army on there way. Loved your GENUINE reaction to my favourite band of all time. Subbed and notifications on. Greetings from Australia.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Andy L yup, we got stomped all over. Thanks for checking out our reaction and for your comment. We got the full Nightwish welcome last night and will be reacting to more very soon. Reaction to "GhostLoveSong" coming very soon. Thanks for the welcome. #BritsinLockdown

[@ianblack2039]

Hi. Nightwish Army, Essex Branch here. So many variations to recommend. Ghost Love Score is very film like. Heavier are Romanticide and Yours Is An Empty Hope. The Islander is pure folk. I'll recommend, for now, Dark Chest Of Wonders or Devil And Rge Deep Dark Ocean. Leave Poet And The Pendulum or Greatest Show On Earth (24 mins) for a bit.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Ian Black , Greetings to Essex! Thanks for checking out our reaction and for your comment. We got the full Nightwish welcome last night and will be reacting to more very soon. Ghost Love Song has been recorded and will be out soon. Thanks for the welcome. #BritsinLockdown

Just about 100 epic songs to go! get ready for a great journey. No song is to compare. You never know what to expect. A lot of people say that the last song they listened to is the new favourite. Ghost love Score is the usual starter, than there is Your's is a empty Hope, 7 Days to the Wolves, Storytime, Dead Boys Poem, and after many more you are ready to do the masterpieces "Poet and the Pendulum" ( do your homework on this one !) and The Greatest Show on Earth". The lead singer Floor Jansen is from the Netherlands, Tuomas Holopainen the keybord player is the composer who writes 95 % of the music and orchestral arrangements. ( with the London Philharmonic ) And there is Empu ( gitar) Troy ( gitar / multi instruments from England) Marco ( bassplayer and singer) and Kai on drums. ( in this video the drummer is Jukka, he is no longer playing in the band but still involved )

[@BritPopsReact]

@Noebis_TheNetherlands Thanks for checking out our reaction channel and for the comment. That's a lot of very useful information and we are genuinely surprised and the number of comments we have received. We always want to be genuine and react to songs that we have never heard, so this was a real surprise. Hope you will check out more of our reactions and see where we go next. #BritsinLockdown

Finnish metal band Lordi actually won the european song contest with the record number of votes (At the time).

[@BritPopsReact]

Yes we have seen some comments around Lordi, we shall be exploring them at some point :) thanks for watching and for your support :)

[@lawrencewalston2272]

The 13+ minute version you speak of, came from their album, Imaginaerum, track twelve. That version features Annette Olzon, successor to Tarja Turunen. Annette had a different vocal quality which, according to some, didn't really fit the genre, nevertheless, it is Annette that originally sang The Poet and the Pendulum, from the album Dark Passion Play. The Poet and the Pendulum was something of a catharsis for Tuomas who was dealing with the fall-out, following the dismissal of Tarja from the band, which led to a really ugly depression. As many would agree, The Poet and the Pendulum is definitely one of the songs to listen to. For a while, it was the longest songs they ever produced until The Greatest Show on Earth from the album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, released in 2015. Endless Forms Most Beautiful is also one to check out, particularly the iteration performed live at Ratina Stadium in Tampere. There is also one at Wembley where Richard Dawkins makes an appearance to deliver his own quotation, which had been written into the song.

[@pietkeizer5216]

All the performance in UK of Nightwish are sold out in a couple of hours. So Nightwish is very populair in UK (great concert in Wembley 2015 on KZbin). Floor Jansen is a fantastic singer. No band is live so good as Nightwish. Even better than the studio. Nice reaction guys. Next...Storytime and of course the legendary Ghost love Score or Noise from the new album Human Nature. Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Piet Keizer We honestly never knew they played Wembley twice, so we had no idea what to expect. Thanks for your positive comment and glad e did a good job. "Ghost Love Score" is coming out very soon. Hope we do it justice, #BritsinLockdown

Hope you venture down this amazing journey. They are AWESOME! Every song is different and they are best live. Enjoy!

Wacken is the biggest Metal Festival on Earth with 80k+ people and they were headlining it in 2013. I guess that says it all about Nightwish. Hope to see them live again in December 2021 in Hamburg, Germany. Hope this damn Virus is not stopping me (fingerscross). Cheers from Northern Germany (just 80km from Wacken, btw :-))

[@BritPopsReact]

@Thors Stein, Thanks for checking out our reaction and for the great comment. I just checked out where Waken is and that really is North, Only ever been as far up as Hamburg. We got the full Nightwish welcome last night and will be reacting to more very soon. I hear they are also booked to play Wembley in December, so let's hope it all goes ahead. Cheers and check out our future reactions. #BritsinLockdown
