First time reaction to NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE)

[@gabriel.bardac]

Hello Una [Daily Life of Una] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], 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. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], 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 [pronounced Yukka] became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and very recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: kzbin.infocommunity 🤘🤘🤘

[@DailyLifeofUna]

Thank you for this long and thorough comment. Everyone in the comments tells me to follow your words, so I Just had to pin it not to lose it❤ I have promised Martine 'Romanticied' next for a heavier Nightwish - i reckon you agree! Thank you !!!

[@gabriel.bardac]

@@DailyLifeofUna Thank you for your positive response. Know that the list of songs is not intended to be a rigid path, to be followed precisely. It's your decision which route you follow. The important thing is that the links lead to recordings of good A/V quality, and highlight the diversity of the musical directions approached by the band. I am convinced that you will not regret it if you continue this journey of discovery :)

Just FYI, that’s about 70 minutes into the show, and Floor had been killin’ it the whole way already. Also, that’s 82 THOUSAND people hanging on her every word; so, no pressure on her to Bury that (9 second long)high note.... At 6’1 and 170 pounds Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. I love watching these reaction videos and my biggest hope is that people follow and enjoy the Symphonic Metal path I was led to. Welcome to it. 💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙 Infantryman-Nightwish Army.

Hello again Una and thanks for reacting to Nightwish, like I recommended. So you decided to go with 'Ghost Love Score', good choice! I knew you'd appreciate their music, it just took one good listen! 😉 They're all fantastic musicians. Floor can do just about any style of singing, including growls. I know I also recommended the song 'Romanticide' if you wanted to hear the heavier side of Nightwish, but 'Yours Is An Empty Hope' is a good choice too. Especially if you want to hear Floor growl and scream. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKqvpIhthphmac0 If you want to learn more about Nightwish, I'd suggest you have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment. He also gives you a long list with song suggestions in his comment. Of course there are more great songs, but it's a good start. I'm looking forward to your next reaction. Regards from the Netherlands and take care!

I didnt know you were such a Nightwish trooper, lol :) everyone seems to know you!❤ I am happy you liked it, and I will react to 'Romanticide' next for sure! This time i went for this because of Floors comment, it intruiged me to have a listen💗

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 the best and most versitale female singer of our time. 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 this 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 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 (5 years old), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.

I enjoyed your reaction very much but I also want to thank you for a couple of things. It astounds me that some reactor videos have such crappy sound. They want people to support their channel but they can’t be bothered to produce a good video. The sound of the video here is excellent. Also, along the same line, you had the volume at a perfect volume level. The 3rd thing is that the sync between the audio and video were perfect here. You’d be surprised at how many other reaction videos are not. So thank you again. Besides all of that I’m happy you have discovered Nightwish.

Hello Una, welcome into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish and their incredible talented female vocalist Floor Jansen. Although the band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist isn’t, she is Dutch. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career (initially) just as the background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997, but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 (while she was within ReVamp, but recovering from a burnout) Floor replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. After one year (shortly after the Wacken Open Air festival concert 2013) on October 9th 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer. Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKKno36lj5tlrbM the evolution of Ghost Love Score. Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label. Tuomas and Floor know each other since August 20th, 2002 when Nightwish played in a sold-out and swelteringly hot “Hof Ter Lo” in Antwerp with After Forever and Charon as support act.

Hey Una - Always enjoy those first time Ghost Love Score reactions. They never get old. Look to Gabriel and Martine to help guide you through Nightwish's catalog though I'd love see you react to "Ever Dream" from the same venue. Since you were envious of the 82,000 concert goers, I think this venue runs the festival year up in Germany. Not that Nightwish would be there every year, but just to experience the place. Nightwish tours Europe so you'll be able to catch them at some point if you have interest. I don't consider myself a Nightwish fan like the majority of the fan's you'll find here. I'm really a fan of Floor's and her solo projects, which after seeing her solo performances from her appearance on the Dutch tv show Beste' Zangers solidified my fandom of Floor and introduced me to Nightwish. So, to promote Floor I'm going to take the liberty of posting a selected playlist of live performances that I consider the most enjoyable for me from her catalog of solo projects. 2019 - Beste' Zangers Solo cover of "Shallow" (Lady Gaga) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2eboZhqlsRssM0 Duet cover of "Phantom of the Opera" w/ Henk Poort - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp2mhJagq6mCgK8 2021 - solo Amsterdam Concert Storm in a Glass - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZLbZqGJhadsqpo Slow, Love, Slow - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHOqaXqarrGMes0 2022 - Recently released singles from her upcoming 2023 solo album. There are music videos but I prefer the more organic live versions. All three venues provided excellent acoustics "Fire" - recorded at HLF8 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLaeYCdpMR3mrM "Storm" w/orchastra - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpWkgWuDn8yblac "Me Without You" - First public performance - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGevnoWIYteaqdU Bonus reel - Floor sings the phonebook - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX24o2R6gdx4h8k I do hope these will meet with your approval.

A heavier song from Nightwish next? SONG OF MYSELF, ROMANTICIDE or GHOST RIVER, all from Wacken 2013. (Gabriel gave you a list of links for good quality Nightwish live videos with a short, a couple of words, description of each song. Pick and choose to your liking.) Greetings from Finland!

[@wangtang7768]

Greetings from 🇨🇦 !! Thx for this reaction, see you on the next one !!! 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼

[@Uuusssaaas]

If you love the Christmas vibe, check out Floor singing O Holy Night in Finnish. I don't know any Finnish, but it still is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. (Kittos=Thank You, I guess I do know one Finnish word.)

[@marshalljackson9796]

Yep, you get it. Private Marshall, Nightwish Army reporting for duty. There is more, so much more. It gets better and better. Each song you hear will become your new favorite. Sounds crazy, but nope, we've seen it over and over again. General Gabriel will be along to guide you on your night wish journey. Welcome, and enjoy.

[@monicacarolina6480]

Nightwish army member present! NW is an awesome ride. Floor can growl like a man, sing like an angel. Tuoms (keys and composer) is the creator of most songs and wrote this and other music )background) for the London Philarmonic Orchestra..he is a genius) Floor is Dutch, and she had 8 years total voice coaching on the music academy and conservatory (opera and theatre)

[@norkannen]

We who love Nightwish also love Sabaton, Rammstein, Jinjer, The Warning, Arch Enemy, Aurora, Sigrid, Highasakite and Girl in Red ❤️😎🇧🇻

[@DailyLifeofUna]

I just did Arch enemy today! :) i liked it! Check it out if you want to🤗

[@jimmybumgardner8322]

Just to let you know, FLOOR can make a grown man cry. It's normal, some of the songs I listen to my eyes just start watering up can't help it. Enjoyed the reaction, more please.

[@Benaditus]

Romanticide in the same concert would be great. Story time is also a great one. Great reaction.

[@andyrutherford203]

Ones to listen too...🤫...all of them

[@ronolson2820]

Ever dream or Last ride of the day from this same concert !!!!

[@grahamkey8496]

Yes Floor has trained in opera, as well as rock, musicals, you name it. She's definitely a metalhead at heart. Check out her own channel as well as "Beste Zangers" where she shows that there's no genre where she can't slay it

[@TTK2013]

There is a buckets of great songs from Nightwish but what ever you choose to listen,choose always live(Sure music videos are good too). Nightwish have this unique feelings on their live gigs ant that will take you to the world of emotional stories....And yes,one warning,you can not find your favorite Nightwish song because always when you are listening new one,you may think that this it is,my favorite! But no,listening Nighwish is endless circle,it is impossible to find one what could be over the other songs. You will find great audio/video clips from these concerts: Wacken,Tampere;Buenos Aires,London Wembley...Sure there is many more too. My choose to you could be example "Greatest show on earth" from Tampere, "Poet and Pendulum" from Wembley, "I Want My Tears Back" from Buenos Aires and "I wish have an angel" from Wacken....But as I wrote, there is so many songs taht this list could be something else after thinking 10 minutes...And 10 minutes after that again something else.

[@HCH944]

As you mentioned the Goddess` cover of Let it Go....... The legend goes like this: Freya (her little daughter) asked her: Mom can you make this song better ? And the Goddess replied : Hannes darling, can you just hold my beer please?

[@CCEDE73]

... Just one of incredibly many good tracks, they have made so much good music for such a long time 🙂

[@elvwood]

Welcome to the Nightwish army! I would suggest starting off going down Gabriel's list as it introduces you to various sides of the band gradually. In particular the first couple of songs, Storytime and Romanticide (from this same concert), will start to give you an inkling of what they can do, after that you can ask for help personalising your journey. Enjoy!

[@German_1]

Gabriel Bardac our general has commented on everything you need to get you started. Welcome to Nightwish!

[@jazzaellore9333]

your emotion at the beginning , the surprised visage you had , "what is this, why does it hurt so deeply?" ... you made me remember my first time listening to GLS. Thx i m suscribing and hope to see you react ( in another type of their universe ) to "song of myself", waken 2013, then to storytime , maybe?

[@bertoverweel6588]

Right.....you wokeup the Nightwish army so get ready for a fantastic NIGHTWISH experiance , band from Finland, singer from the Netherlands and a guy who can play lots of instruments from GB . She is our 6 foot 1 Valkyrie . May I sugest the whole concert Wacken 2013 , Wembly Arena and Tampere 2015 .

[@MilaMan]

Nightwish is Finnish gift to metal music and Floor Jansen (vocals) is "God's" gift to Nightwish. Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) writes and composes this beautiful Nightwish metal music. The current drummer is Kai Hahto but in this video the drummer is Jukka Nevalainen, Kai's good friend. I just love Jukka's drumming and his style. I miss him so much because he's not drumming anymore🤘🥁💕

[@tajamatakkarles7259]

Hellooooo, Una. Very good reaction on your part, from one of the best bands in history. Now I would like to recommend you, another band that will surprise you a lot, for various reasons. I suggest a reaction to LOVEBITES and the song "Edge of the world" so you can get to know them. It will give your channel a lot of life. A clue, they are all girls, but you will see how enormously talented they are. A big hug

[@geertdelange4785]

Hallo Una, thanks for your reaction. Greeting/Groet from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@christophklesser7532]

Congratulations your Nightwish journey has just begun! My recommendations what to dive into next: * Alpenglow (official live version. Featuring the most kick-ass key shift in contemporary music) * The Greatest Show on Earth (live in Tampere. Some research up front about the topic strongly recommended) * The Poet and the Pendulum (official live version. Up front research is an absolute MUST here) Enjoy your ride.

[@vsGoliath96]

Seriously, if you ever have the chance to see them in concert, take it! They are an... intense experience, especially with the right openers. I think one of the single best concerts I have ever been to was Nightwish at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland with fucking Kamelot and Sabaton opening. I couldn't speak or hear properly for two days after that. Edit: As for a song suggestion? I will always say Poet and the Pendulum, but that song requires a bit of background knowledge and experience with the band to really get the full effect. If you decide to listen to it, I highly recommend looking up the story behind it before listening. It's a real heartbreaker though, just a heads up.

[@tonycardone990]

Any song with Floor is great. You can't go wrong with Gabriel's list

[@Mischnikvideos]

(Non)Fun Fact: Bassist Marko was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Before that he had depression for 10 years. Due to depression, he left the band during the pandemic, which is a great loss. I hope he changes his mind now and he comes back.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@Daily Life of Una: I could see how Floor's voice was making you feel things. Tuomas, the composer and keyboardist, has written songs for every emotion you can think of. From being in love with Ever Dream, to feeling thrown away and depressed with The Poet and the Pendulum, to being entirely grateful we live on planet Earth with The Greatest Show On Earth, Tuomas has the ability to write things in a way that, even without Floor, is very human in nature. Because he has that ability to blend classical music with metal, it is why we call him "The Metal Mozart." And with Floor's ability to make the listener not just hear the music, but feel the music, this band is once-in-a-lifetime, in terms of the talent they have. Sadly, Jukka, the drummer here, and Marko, the bassist here, are no longer playing with the band. Jukka stepped down because of an on-going (at the time) running battle with insomnia. Marko stepped down in January this year, because of how the industry treats the musicians and artists.

Hello Alice you just begun your journey down the rabbit hole! Here's the thing when you reach wonderland the Queen will not off your head. However you will never want to leave!🎼🌹

[@DailyLifeofUna]

[@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.🌎🌙

[@erikculqui7311]

Two more songs: - The greatest show on earth - The poet and the pendulum Extra 1: Romanticide Extra 2: Every single Nightwish songs 😌

[@paulhood5950]

Romanticide, The Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth in any order.

[@millerbeer01]

Subscribed. Nightwish!!

[@DailyLifeofUna]

Thank you so much !!!! Yes. Love them!

[@ytcag2007]

I think it's time for a little story.... It's definitely Storytime!! 😊❤🤘🤘

[@patverum9051]

Floor is married to the Swede Hannes van Dahl, lives in Sweden and has a daughter ,Freya. Hannes is drummer with Sabaton. BTW Floor can growl, watch her After Forever performances, a bit more metal..

[@bevohw]

Hello Una greet reaction I see as always that our leader Gabriel Bardac as always already reacted. We considder him as the " general " from the nightwish army worldwide Be aware that if you keep playing NW tracks you will have or get thousands of followers who will react to you. Greetings from a Dutch NW fan

[@joshblaylock948]

the nightwish army welcomes you.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

One day you may get to Shoemaker. It will be worth the journey.

[@Thorgrim247]

Hope to see you again very soon Una! Gabriel, below will give all you require to experience more magic from Nightwish.

[@bazkeen]

Great reaction 🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥

[@Zoey-K-1]

You’ll find that Nightwish is quite versatile…no two of their songs really sound alike, but they all have that Nightwish goodness. Gabriel provided you with a good list of songs…just choose from those and you can’t gone wrong. ☮️
