I can't blame you, the same here. Never heard of them till I went 68. And now I am only listening to their music, for the last 3 years

[@Playingwith3D]

I just turned 60, and was a fan since the original singer. For the past 20 years Ive been the annoying guy telling everyone, "You gotta check this band out"😆Took a while but I am starting to feel vindicated.

[@chris25533]

Me too. I'm coming up 71 and heard Nightwoisf for the first time earlier this year. It's a rare day when I don't listen to the. They are superb.

[@alleninfinity6730]

I am a huge Metallica fan too, Tuomas was too, the founder/keyboardist/songwriter/composer, decided he wanted to start a band in the United States, at a Metallica concert. Steve Harris of Maiden is a huge fan of Nightwish and has called Tuomas a F***ing Genius. Floor is the greatest singer I have ever heard, any genre or time. Marko always play a Warwick bass, Emppu always a ESP EV-1 guitar, Tuomas always a Korg.

[@vernonbrazle1070]

Now that would be a KILLER of a collab. Floor and Bruce on the same tune?…..

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Marko only uses Warwick gear (I think he has some kind of sponsor deal) and Emppu always uses ESP gear. Though, I think Emppu basically has had maybe total of 3 EV-1 guitars so it really doesn't matter if he's sponsored or not.

[@richardwest6358]

Well - you can hear Floor sing the Iron Maiden song "The Evil Thet Men Do"

[@DavideBertolazzi]

​@@MikkoRantalainenThink for a moment: E mean Empuu. V mean Vuorinen. The answer its all in this 2 letters. EV1 its the signature Guitar.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@DavideBertolazzi Yeah, I know why the guitars are called ESP EV-1 or ESP EV-3 but my point is that since Nightwish is commercially successful enough and Emppu doesn't destroy his guitars, he could just as well play with custom guitars that he paid full. Sponsorship is just extra bonus money.

[@chriso6719]

Every song at this Wacken 2013 show was written for one of the first 2 singers. Floor was only with the band about 10 months here, having taken over mid tour. Storytime was from 2nd singer ,Anette Olzon era. Anette didn't do operatic vocals, that was done with a choir then. Floor can do them, so she took over those parts herself. Ghost Love Score was from 1st singer Tarja Turunen era. Tuomas(keyboards, primary songwriter and composer) likes themes of stories and childhood innocence. He is a fan of Disney and composer Hans Zimmer. Marko plays Warwick basses exclusively. For the growls , you want Yours Is an Empty Hope (Wembley 2015 show), and to a lesser extent, Ghost River from this show. Or Disdain by her former band ReVamp live at Grasspop 2010.

After the Wembley concert for "Your Is An Empty Hope" for the growls, try "Everdream" from this concert. Floor is the only singer that can make me consistently tear up, and that performance hits me hard.

[@deeteenw]

I concur but I think Mexico City for "Yours Is An Empty Hope" is an even better version.

[@jazzaellore9333]

you ll have metal growl here )

[@danilolapierre5610]

Ever Dream is actually one of the songs that works better with Tarja. The End of an Era version (with Tarja) beats the Wacken 2013 (with Floor) in my opinion. Tarja can sing Ever Dream effortlessly, whereas Floor has to reach.

[@helky8]

With Floor I can finally listen Everdream 👍🏻

[@hakannorlings2439]

Floor is a schooled soprano as the other two singers that Nightwish have had. You should listen to their song "The greatest show of all" after this, its amazing! Fun fact, Floor is married to the drummer in Sabaton. You should listen to their songs Bismarck, The last stan, Christmas truce, No bullets fly and son on. All their songs have a historic background that you can read about. Read about the history about the storys first. You can google it, and Sabaton even have a history channel where they brakes down the songs.

[@drafter3412]

OMG, the deepest wish of my heart is a Floor Jansen/James Hetfield duo! A gal can dream!

[@Fabi72g]

Well, at the Pinkpop festival this year, James was at the backstage watching NW show, and despite he had to do his show in 2 hours he stayed until the end to personally compliment the band. So, who knows, he likes them, maybe in the future.

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

Thank you for your reaction again. Ann Waychoff was the mother of the Nightwish Army. Her favorite song was; Song of myself. The song is inspired on the poet Walt Whitman. If you react to it, please do the extended version. Or listen to the album version and then the live version. You can also find the lyrics of the songs. I'm greatful and happy that Gabriël has taken over the honors of Ann. He's the General. Thank you for reacting to Nightwish and BTS. I've seen them both live. Both are good in their own rights. Also both are Storytellers in their own special way. Thank you again and enjoy yourself and keep on going. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗

[@emmanx011]

Well said!; and I always get "tears in my eyes", whenever I hear "Song Of Myself"... RIP Sweet Ann W ❤️

[@rainertuominen4242]

Song of Myself is truly a piece of art. Very emotional and beautiful.

[@mouseketeery]

You're right about the bass, the whole band always play the same gear makers - they've found what they like and stick with it. Tuomas plays Korgs, Marko plays Warwicks, Emppu plays his custom ESP etc. All of them perform without personal ego - they are always in service to the song. For Floor growling, try "Yours is an Empty Hope" from Wembley Arena 2015. I think you'll also really enjoy "Romanticide", "Ghost River" and "Song of Myself" from the Wacken 2013 concert - not growling but metal, with Nightwish's own twist, of course!

Every song of this concert is worth listening to. However, two songs should be reacted to from the 2005 "End of an Era" concert with Tarja Turunen as lead singer: Ever Dream, and Nemo. These songs work better with Tarja's even more operatic voice.

[@trinadawn4166]

[@brianwillson9567]

Wacken 2013. Floor had just been made a full member of the band. The stars were all in alignment, the band were on fire, and Floor stamped her ownership on the entire Nightwish back catalogue. None of the songs were written for her. The entire concert was Tarja and Anette, NOW and for evermore FLOOR.

[@royceanne7986]

Nice reaction!! Can't wait until you get to Song of Myself!!

[@senacht]

The bass in this concert is a Warwick Buzzard. AFAIK Marco plays Warwick basses exclusively in Nightwish. For heavy try Ghost River. For growl look no further than Your’s is an Empty Hope.

[@pamz1778]

love me some Nightwish! "Yours is an empty hope" from the Wembley concert- there are a couple other options-i think that is one of the better ones to see her and know it's her doing- keep em coming!

[@MrDempmeister]

Hi, thank you for this reaction! This is my favorite band of all time and Floor is my favorite vocalist and one of my biggest, personal heroes. She really do know what is needed and when its needed in a song. She understands that she, like the other band members, are a vessel for the music and the story that’s being told. And that is what makes thia band so great. The part with the high notes in this song was originally a backing track with a choir. But that was because the former singer couldn’t do those kind of vocals. Floor can and it sounds way better. If you want some screams you should do “yours is an empty hope” from Wembly 2015. That track as a whole is also heavier than this one. There is also shorter clips of her screaming and growling on YT. Here is one example, its from a geeman tv show called “sing meinen song” wich basically translates to “sing my song. Its a show where different artists get together and do covers of each other song. Each artist has their own episode where the covers are being performed and there is also alot of talking in between where the other artists gets to know the one that is featured. Heres a short clip with Floor growling, but i do recommend that you watch the live performance from Wembly first. kzbin.infoABberE3nijE?feature=share

[@berniehand5528]

Song of myself, romanticide, empty hope. All good songscthat show versatility

[@KevinHollisWI]

[@sixfivehigh1949]

Late to this party, but never really late when it comes to Nightwish. Always enjoy your enthusiastic and knowledgeable reactions, John. I'm 75 and I have never believed in 'regrets'. However, having said that, I will always regret not being at this Wacken concert. I have played the DVD an embarrassing number of times and the whole experience has been, and is, a journey of its own. I turn an unattractive shade of green when I look at these lucky souls who were there to experience this live. It truly is one of the best concerts recorded. And, thankfully, they did a masterly job of it. Shout out to anyone who was there!

Drummers using the alt high hat on the opposite side are usually said to be playing “open” instead of crossed over. It’s usually done when on a sloshy high hat and cymbals needed are nearby (like a China or ride) and during double bass sections.

I'm really not sure why, but Nemo, from this show, the second half of it makes me a little emotional. Maybe it's the sign lol. Look forward to more!

[@wolverine669]

In case nobody already told you, their (now ex-bassist) Marco (Marko Hietala) started his own band TAROT w/ his brother in 1982. He also released his first solo album "Pyre Of The Black Heart" around two yrs ago. Tuomas also has another band called AURI w/ his wife and Troy Donockley.

[@goranelez9956]

The best part of hearing Nightwish for the first time is the fact that best 50 songs don't fail to surprise and don't dip in quality. NW probably wouldn't exist if not for Metallica, but that's a longer story. Hetfield himself listened to their concert this year and went backstage to fistbump Floor (there is a short video). Bands have huge respect for each other. Floor does different versions of growls and screams in her songs, others probably mentioned which links to check out.

[@wandaferrer6527]

Note, that was their concert Imaginarium. Created by Tuomas. Look him up, by the way, the one on the organs, the piano is where you will find him. Marco is the one on the base guitar, Empu is on the regular guitar and Jukka is on the drums.

[@PiKLMedia]

Yes Imaginaerum. There is actually a movie on the streaming platform Tubi called Imaginaerum by Nightwish. A fantasy trippy movie staring some of the Nightwish band members. I think Tuomas actually wrote it, and yes the soundtrack is Nightwish music. I am excited to be watching it this weekend. :)

[@MikkoRantalainen]

This song was from album Imaginaerum and this was the tour for that album so it figures it fits the style. It's also worth knowing that Nightwish made a full feature length movie from the songs of that album.

[@maijalehtonen4389]

Romanticide(waken 2013)😍

[@whirledpeaz5758]

We all know that Marko plays a Warwick Vampire because Tank the Tech is a guitar tech, and that is his YT reaction specialty and he is very popular in the Nightwish Army. We all love how every member of this band is World Class and doesn't need to show off. The music and the setlist is written to give them all their time in the spotlight.

Please continue your Nightwish journey...there are so many facets to their music. Every song you hear for a while will likely be significantly different from the others...and my experience was each new song tended to replace the previous song as my favorite. My you love your experience.

[@Magyarkhan]

My Queen Goddess

[@Baribrotzer]

Tuomas is as big a fan of movie music as he is of rock or metal. And you can tell - that whole W I D E S C R E E N sound, and all those key changes. He also has quite a talent for big, melodic earworm pop choruses, and the ability to shoehorn them into rock/metal in a way that works and isn't cheesy. That isn't an easy thing to do. Part of that, too, is Floor's vocal power - which sells borderline-corny stuff that a weaker singer might not be able to put across. And, of course, her stage persona - she's 25% larger-than-life from the eyes down, and that fits Nightwish's larger-than-life music perfectly.

[@jimmybumgardner8322]

WELCOME, enjoy the ride. It's a dam good one.

[@larryd4352]

Yeah....Floor does some Growling in "You're Is An Empty Hope" .... Also maybe some in "I want My Tears Back".... which is pretty cool song...you even get to hear Troy play the Uilleann Pipes, which are the traditional Irish Pipes! Floor does a lot of dancing in this song! There is a lot of great music from Nightwish!!

[@ericdrager6281]

Yes, Marco plays Warwick exclusively. The Buzzard you see here as well as others more often. He’s the reason I just recently bought my first Warwick and already eyeing up the second one. Even my low end model sounds fantastic

[@bennybuffylove]

I'm 74, best bands ever....Beatles, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Nightwish with Floor and Marco. All other metal bands are just plain metal, a dime a dozen. Nightwish with Floor is GOLD. Wacken 2013 is the best, Storytime from this concert is me and my 3 year old granddaughter's favorite song. All of Floors solo stuff is mind blow also. Beste Zangers, Amsterdam Live 2019, her cover songs and another favorite of mine, While Loved Died. I don't watch too many reaction videos anymore, but I will check you out along the way to see how your Floor journey goes.

[@ladyjane1672]

When Anette Olzon (2nd Nightwish singer) sang this same song, the operatic singing following that killer drum "solo" was performed by choral voices on the background recording. When Floor replaced Anette, they no longer needed other singers for the coloratura portion. Floor simply provided it. Check out the Dutch show "Beste Zangers" from 2019, and give a listen to Floor singing "Vilja Lied". Then listen to her and Tim Ackerman do a cover of "Shallow". Floor's skill set is simply astonishing. And she does growl. Search "Floor Jansen growling". Wow.

I believe Tuomas (keyboards, the song writer) was introduced to metal after being taken to a Metallica concert when he was an exchange student in the US.

[@clivematthews5296]

For a bit of a banger and to hear some different vocals try Romanticide at this concert or Song of Myself. Or a later concert at Wembley 2015 with Yours Is An Empty Hope.

[@jeffk1482]

"Where it's necessary in the song..." My man, you just described the entire essence of Nightwish's musicality. Tuomas, the keyboard player, is the maestro have no doubt. But the way he composes, he wants each of those insanely talented and skilled musicians to put their "stamp" on it. And they understand what he wants so well and that they know it's THE SONG, THE MUSIC that counts, not their individual abilities. So within the maestro's framework, they each contribute exactly what the composition needs, when it is needed. Yep, a Warwick bass! Another reactor (Tank the Tech) confirmed that regularly. He's a roadie and approaches things from a gear perspective. Hell, you and he ought to do a collab reaction or even just a live stream together and talk music and metal. That should be amazing.

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

Avoid suggestion.

[@vhaarr]

At around 6:30 or so you give props to Floor for placing those vocals there. I mean she is objectively the best female vocalist of her generation. Fact. But it's not her doing. Tuomas (the keyboard player) composed and wrote the lyrics and the lyrical melody to this. Originally this song was not written for Floor, and with the previous vocalist they had this part that you're referring to (Neverland. Innocence. Every man, Peter Pan.) tracked and performed by an out-of-band operatic vocalist. Floor asked Tuomas if she could perform it instead of using the track. Obviously he agreed.

[@vhaarr]

It's the case with almost every song you're going to encounter from Nightwish; (1) the song wasn't written for Floor, it was written for either Tarja or Olzon. (2) the song was composed by Tuomas in over 95% of the cases, and obviously every band member joins in to put finishing touches or relevant feedback. (3) the lyrics are written by Tuomas. (4) the lyrical melody is written by Tuomas. When you get to the latest album (and you have 30+ awesome songs to do before that), of course that was written for Floor. But that's where it starts. And it was still written by Tuomas, not Floor. Again, obviously everyone in the band (and especially Marco, previously) contributes to finishing touches - and sometimes more than that - on the songs. But if you just go look at the credits for each song, it says "Composed by" and "Written by" Tuomas. I'm not saying this to cast a shadow on Floor. I'm saying it to shine a light on Tuomas. You obviously respect Floor. You obviously respect the drummer. You obviously respect the bassist. You obviously respect the guitarist. You didn't even mention Tuomas in this video.

[@piotrpytlik]

In 4 days I'm going to see them live. I'm stoked!

[@marciusnhasty]

Marco had Warwick Buzzard Bass here. He also uses Warwick Vampyre NT, Warwick Infinity Masterbuilt and Warwick Infinity Panthera Double neck Bass and Guitar. So, it's always going to be some Warwick with him. Emppu plays ESP EV-I here but you will often see him with the white ESP Emppu Vuorinen EV-III "Imaginaerum" signature model as well.

[@davidphillips4706]

How have you never heard of Nightwish before?? I'm a rock guy, 63 years old, until my youngest son introduced me to this band I have never even heard the name. That said...he asked me to listen to three songs to get an idea what they were all about......the idea of me listening to symphonic metal seemed crazy. It is crazy...in a very good way. I've never heard anything quite like NW and Floor is simply put a gift from the gods. She can do it all, and fits so well with the band.

[@profjohnfrinks]

That's a Warwick buzzard bass designed and played by the godfather of bass John Entwistle. He later had that body made by status bass in graphite. Marko also plays other model warwicks.

ahhhhh heck yes! I'll check this out for sure!

[@danilolapierre5610]

@@JohnReavesLive Song of Myself would also be my next recommendation from the Wacken 2013 concert. After that, you should try a song from Nightwish's "End of an Era" concert with Tarja Turunen as singer. For instance: Phantom of the Opera, Ever Dream (a song that Tuomas Holopainen allegedly wrote for Tarja explicitely), Nemo, The Kinslayer, or the epic ballad Sleeping Sun. As far as 'The Poet and The Pendulum' (from the Wembley 2015 concert) is concerned, do it when you've listened to a couple of NW songs cuz it's their other masterpiece next to Ghost Love Score. Oh, and don't forget 'Dead Boy's Poem' from the 2018 Decades concert in Buenoes Aires. That's Tuomas' most personal song by his own words.

[@jasonmarshall7572]

You correct about the Bass guitar. Imaginaerum is an actual movie Nightwish created and members played parts in. I believe they may of funded this movie. The best concert to show Floor growling is the Wembley Arena London and that song is: Your is an Empty hope. Thank you.

[@FinZippo]

As a huge Nightwish fan, I was able to see them this summer. They played at Knotfest as a last band on friday. I would suggest you listen Song Of Myself. That one is damn good. Also you should check Ukrainian band Jinjer, if you want to hear crazy vocals.

This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you witnessed first hand a "Dutch Windmill" , and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! Awesome tune , although it is kind of a popish sound (originally sung by Anette,The second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Plus that operatic part was done by children's choir originally, but Floor said : "I GOT THIS" And Yes, Marko is playing his "Rusty" finished Warwick Buzzard bass! Good eye 👌. I myself have Warwick RB Corvette Multi Scale 5 (I Love this Bass). Nightwish lyrics are often a bit interpretive, and not as "straight forward" as many other bands, because Tuomas ( The Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen: founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish.) prefers people to put their own interpretations and life experiences into the lyrics. you connect with songs on a personal level when there is something there that relates to things you have gone/are going through, and you may even find new connections later on in life when you have gone through other big events/emotions. there might be songs you are quite indifferent about (oh, nice song) and then you go through something big and all of a sudden it makes you break down in tears because now you relate to something in the lyrics you didn't before, and see it from a whole new perspective. imagination and life experiences are powerful, and Tuomas has great appreciation of this. PS: IF YOU WANT growling, Then Nightwish - Yours is an empty hope at WEMBLEY is a MUST!!!!! Here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKqvpIhthphmac0 this song was in Simpsons to 😉!!!! Hail Nightwish !!!! NWSU🤘😎🤘.

About Floors interlude: on the album this part was performed by a choir, the previous singer didn’t sing that part. For the 10 months leading up to this show Floor add her voice and range to quite a few numbers

[@paisa20]

there's a video when Floor is singing this and she didn't sing the chorus, she added that part shows after

Want to be really blown away? What the documentary about her joining the band called "Please learn the set list in 48 hours". She was brought in for this tour because the singer who was SUPPOSED to do it decided to peace out with no warning.

[@randyboyles]

Remember that this was the last night of a three day festival and they were the last act on the third night that year. They kept that crowd pumped.

So the drummer here is Jukka, he left the band do to chronic Insomnia, he stil manages the band. He was replaced the by the Human Metronome Kai Hato from Wintersun. Wait til you hear the bass player sing :)

[@mdudley52]

Marko also has double neck,(the beast) warwick bass on top and Framus 6 string guitar on bottom.

I'm so glad to see that you are back with Nightwish 😁 and it is so fun to see how excited you are. There are still so many songs that you'll have to hear. They have very large scale of different kinds of songs. As for the next maybe Romanticide, it is a more heavier song.

[@Zorros2ndCousinTwiceRemoved]

Great to see you get back into Nightwish! Don't know if Gabriel suggested it (and too lazy to look it up ^^), but going by your reaction to this one, you might wanna look up Ghost River (of course from this very concert). Should be right up your alley.

[@Harbor-S]

Great reaction! I've subbed for the ride! No two songs of theirs is really the same. But, they all have that unmistakable element of Nightwish that you instantly recognize! So, for the Valkyrie Queen growling....you'll want to go for Yours Is An Empty Hope live from Wembley. The one on Gabriel's List, I believe, is the Mexico City version. It's amazing, but in my humble opinion, the Wembley audio you can MUCH better hear what she and everyone else is doing. Please, please do the Wembley performance of this song! I only found this band close to 1 year ago. I'm very upset I've lived so long without them. They almost instantly became my fave. They are all so massively talented...yet there is absolutely zero ego in this band. That's so amazing. Everything is what's best for the music with each of them. Anyway, I'm here for it! Can't wait for the next one! Nightwish Army, Alabama Divison - present and accounted for🤘🏻

Mexico City good. Wembley better (not to mention the production values)

[@Harbor-S]

@@alanfoster6589 agree fully!

[@ryant3600]

Yes it's a Warwick and he has played them for years..

[@OlettaLiano]

You are correct, Marko plays Warwick. Mainly the Buzzard or the Vampyre, but he also has a custom Warwick double neck guitar/bass.
