FIRST TIME HEARING NIGHTWISH - Storytime REACTION | I LOVED IT!😭🔥

[@gabriel.bardac]

Hello Officialcammm ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This song is from Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 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. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] 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...

[@gabriel.bardac]

... Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently 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. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] 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 "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 "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/banPqpZna9B_f9U "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) kzbin.info/www/bejne/inOylZqun8djoa8 "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/r4Wam4N-p7l5kLc "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6vGqmaXbtZrlZI "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​ "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 be surprised by Floor's vocals :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqbaimSaYrB8qdU "The Poet And The Pendulum" [Wembley Arena 2015] kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGW5l6xrrqisY8U - for this one (The Poet.. ) I strongly recommend you to do some research, since is a deep emotional and meaningful song, for both the band and the fans. "The Greatest Show On Earth" [Tampere 2015] kzbin.info/www/bejne/ambFo616f7CNadE - You should leave at the end the epic masterpiece. You'll not be disappointed :) @Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or videos from this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M Last but not the least - they 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 ..)

She got vocals!!! - you ain't seen nothing yet 😉 Floor is unique - she is the greatest singer and storyteller in this century. She started 25 years ago in 96 /97 when she was 16 in a band called After Forever - and already then, she started getting speachless fans ( I was one of them). Great composers like Arjen Lucassen / Ayreon /Stsr One found her in 2000, and a few years later, she and After Forever toured with Nightwish. In October 2012 she joined Nightwish - and the greatest Symphonic Metal band ever, became a reality. No other band can perform a tell stories like them. A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe - if you take this journey, your musically view will change forever. What they do live - no pitch correction, no auto tune - just pure talent and power!!

I'm here from Wisconsin to watch Nightwish with Floor kicking butt once again! lead singer Floor Jansen is our Valkyrie Queen, and in my opinion the most talented Metal/Rock singer today. She can sing anything classical, opera, rock fry, growls, pop, musicals, etc. (even the phonebook!) and from her social media appears to be such a great human being too! Nightwish have so so many great songs! If you choose videos off of General Gabriel Bardac's list you can't go wrong!

When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on her. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: Energize me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJvQZXWog6aZbNU Monolith of Doubt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXQfHuhht1na7c Dreamflight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWSQkHlvpderaqs Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). Here is a link to a part of a TV show (with english subtitles) of the reunion of the class of the Rock Academy with mostly backstage footage of the Tampere concert of Nightwish in 2015: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGSxepmrZdapqsk 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song. Here are some examples: Misery’s no Crime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX-zlqaCe7mhi8k Disdain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnrUq4OOr814q9k Wild card: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faG9fnl3gb6YfcU Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmoqZ6jjLCAe7c Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHLMgZiJqNZ3Y5Y A suggestion to a christmas song sung by Floor. Here is a link to a performance in Finland with a special guest with the best seat you could imagine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r56UiJZrmdKIj8U Her stunning 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. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on KZbin. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa:, kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6LHp3mGd6yBZsU and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5a3qnSQqbtoras As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered KZbin in the last year. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4jCZHlnbZuSa7M Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did last year with songs of her impressive career. 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 (just turned 5 years), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.

Haha see you in the next one!!🤘🏼💥🤘🏼

[@Officialcammm]

You know it!

[@TimoArula]

Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! And you witnessed first hand a "Dutch Windmill" and you felt it 😁, and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bull whip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. Awesome tune , although it is kind of a popish sound (originally sung by Anette), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Nightwish lyrics are often a bit interpretive, and not as "straight forward" as many other bands, because Tuomas ( Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen : founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and main composer of 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. Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6) She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken ( pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people. The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. We are on Standby mode for now .... We hope, that there is more coming. 🤘😎🤘.

[@Wreath83]

They are awesome! Thanks for reaction!

[@TheSyncos]

If you love live performances Nightwish will never let you down. I see Gabriel has already been by. You can pull anything out of his list and it will be incredible. Excited for you to start this journey. Wish I could do it all again for the first time.

[@amygoodson-catlady]

Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA, USA saying welcome, friend! You have had a taste of this band's greatness...it only gets better from here! They have no bad songs, and Nightwish is awesome live! The flaming bulls head is the logo for the Wacken Open Air Festival (pron: VAW-Kehn) in Germany. Please see below a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances, ready for reactions! I suggest you check out Ever Dream and Ghost Love Score from this Wacken 2013 concert! This is a band of many styles and sounds for you to discover! Should you step down this magical path...we will come with you!

[@NPK476]

It actually gets worse from Imaginaerum, the past 2 albums have been shit.

[@islgrl292]

Love your description as FIRE, as Floor Jansen, pronounced Ya-sen, age 41, just dropped her first solo single titled, “Fire, about coming out of COVID, & lockdown, just check it out but stay on your Nightwish journey, where every musician is the best at their craft. The keyboardist, Tuomas, writes 95% not just of songs, but better described as genius compositions. I have seen Ghost Love Score recommenced to you, probably your next best listen, but believe us, it’s a musical ride you won’t believe! My favorites beyond EVERY SONG, are “Song of Myself, this one, Storytime, & Seven Days to the Wolves”, where Floor is literally a warrior queen!

[@TheMightyOdin]

I’m seeing them live in 2 days!

[@Officialcammm]

That’s lit!!! Have fun!

[@ralfmeyer9086]

HEY, i am a little bit neidisch(german) to you 🤗 After 2 years, Enjoy the Night. I mean, for all of us, it is a "NIGHTWISH "🤘

[@TheMightyOdin]

@@Officialcammm It was amazing!

[@markusjackel2132]

Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: What you should do: Listen to Gabriel. He knows. Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-) You just met our Queen - Floor Jansen - probably the most versatile vocalist of our times. You will find out if you follow the route down the Rabbit Hole called Nightwish 🙂 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 !

[@Scape_TEST]

One of Us! One of us! Welcome to the rabbit hole

[@francoisdesrochers3733]

"She got vocals too?" Man are you in for a treat when you hit their Wacken live version of Ghost Love Score.

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Loved your reaction and welcome to Nightwish and welcome to one of the most greatest fan bases the Nightwish Army a bunch of Amazing people with plenty of knowledge and good advice. Thank you for your reaction.

[@chrisespinosa7534]

great reaction and welcome to the NW rabbit hole! Every NW Live concert is better than most other bands studio tracks. Follow Gabriel's list for a solid journey into all that is Nightwish and symphonic metal. You will not be disappointed in this band or their latest singer!

[@mubbles1066]

Glad you decided to react to this band..Welcome to Symphonic Metal.this is with their 3rd singer Floor Jansen,a6’1” Dutch vocal beast who’s had classical training and been with the band since 2012.They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,hope you decide to dip your toe into some more.IGabriel will be along soon I guess with much more info to drop on you,all his links have all great audio quality and are from the best concerts performance wise😊👍

[@christinaalgate4899]

Welcome to Nightwish and Floor

[@elpake4284]

Good for that song, you can also listen to Ghost love Score live at Wacken 2013, I'm sure it'll melt your face!!

[@malichan21]

That is my lord and savior, my Dutch Valkyrie Floor Jansen who’s range goes from operatic to death growls and vocal coaches simply gush over her singing. Floor is A. MAZE. ING.

[@larsdijker7208]

You can’t go wrong choosing any of the 15 songs of Wacken 2013 performed by Nightwish. Ghost Love Score is what most people react to or Ever Dream. Maybe go for I wish I had an angel. That one is awesome too and not reacted to a lot or Amaranth. Also the live concerts from Wembley and Buenos Aires are amazing. All with Floor their third and latest singer. You should also check the original singer Tarja’s version of Phantom of the opera and the second singer Annette’s version of Slow love slow. Nightwish has a lot of variation in their songs but you will find out if you listen to more.

[@OJB42]

Yeah, Nightwish are an awesome band. So many of their songs are totally epic. Here are some others to listen to: Ghost Love Score, Dead Boy's Poem, Nemo, Gethsemane, Sleeping Sun, Phantom of the Opera, Shoemaker, Romanticide. Listen to both of their great vocalists: Tarja and Floor.

[@robdegast3612]

"She got vocals too" Well it is said that she has the most powerful voice in the WORLD! 😁😁😁

[@jjj5440]

I hope you keep going with Nightwish. Gabriel's list is a good guide with the best links to most songs. Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 is a must at some point.

[@claudiaromano8417]

Follow Gabriel’s list, stick with live performances (their current singer Floor Jansen- who you just watched in this video- is my favorite), buckle up and enjoy the ride! PS- you noted she was “Fire”. Floor just released her first solo single titled, appropriately, FIRE.

[@albandashaj]

[@kevreutens1543]

Gotta love people's reactions when they hear Nightwish for the first time ever

[@sixtuspettersson6059]

You need NW/Floor *Romanticide* Same 2013 Wacken Festival Live . Floor pronaunces like in yellow sign on Walmart floor.. *CAUTION WET FLOOR* or *FLOORGASM* !! ;))

[@russianmusicvideoswithengl7822]

Amazing band, wonderful song !

[@ingobordewick6480]

Hello, just so you know, the flaming bull has nothing to do with Nightwish, it's the logo of the Festival.

[@mattilindstrom]

Yes she has vocals😊. Floor Jansen is one of the best singers in her genres today: versatility, agility, and judicious power. Thank you for this entertaining reaction!

[@brianwillson9567]

Nightwish are excellent in the studio, but even better live, and this was one of THE live concerts. You obviously enjoyed losing your Flooginity with storytime. But sound out the original from the album Imaginaerum with Anette. That is very good and enjoyable, but you will see how Floor simply takes anything from the back catalogue and gives it her treatment. The technical term for your reaction is a Floorgasm.

[@scottb.4472]

I had trouble seeing the actual video because the way you did it you needed on a dark background so background so I couldn't see a lot of parts of it but I think I'm the only one that's making these comments lol so maybe it's just me

Watching your smile growing bigger and bigger....Is just priceless!! Nightwish never disappoints, your next favourite song will be the next Nightwish one... High five Gabriel if he appears

[@richardmead5969]

very good reaction. thanks from Colorado. best rock band in 40 years, or since your parents were your age

[@seannightingale3571]

The Metal Gods looked down from the Heavens and spoke these words to all of mankind. We have blessed you on this day of 02/21/1981 ( Floor’s Birthday) an Angel of Metal and she will be known as Floor Jansen. Also known as the Queen of Metal or the Valkyrie Goddess.🌎🌙

[@eva1842]

Yes,they are the best NW❤

[@majbrat]

I hope you dive deep into Nightwish; every song is different andxall are so good. 🔥 Subbed in hopes of more. Nightwish Army BC Canada checking in :) Watch for Gabriel who will give you good quality links to awesome live performances.

[@JoAnn69BC]

Awesome man. Welcome to Nightwish. Finally!! Greetings from Switzerland 🤘🏽🔥

[@granadosvm]

This video barely showcases Floor's vocal abilities. She is so talented and skillful, she seems unreal. Like instead of human, she was a Valkyrie Goddess. Or maybe she is.

[@rickphil9999]

Fire indeed, as was your reaction. I highly recommend that you read all of Gabriel Bardac's comment. He is a general in the Nightwish Army and in his comment there are lots of links to other great Nightwish live performances. You can't go wrong following his list.

[@Bethuriel]

Thnx 4 this. Go on with the stuff. Welcome to the Nightwish army^^. Please listen to Song of myself 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 High hopes a try. Peace from Germany and please stay save

Floor Jansen is the third vocalist for Nightwish. Do yourself a favor and listen to the other two: Tarja Terunin and Annette Olzen (the original singer of this song). Also, why do you have the computer screen so transparent? We want to share this with you, so let us watch, too, please.

[@menwithven8114]

She has vocals too??? lol she has the best all around vocals of any woman on Eath

[@stefanh1810]

Also meiner Meinung nach is Floor Jansen die derzeit beste Sängerin dieses Planeten 👍. Kleiner Tipp schau dir mal Nightwish - the greatest Show on Earth ❤( live in Tampere) an.

great song, great reaction BUT the video. your technical department has to work on this. I'm just letting you know because it will make your podcast a lot better it's not good to look at. keep up the good work and stick with Nightwish. and the singer is Floor Jansen.

[@brettweltz8135]
