lol…bare with me on this one, my info got allll mixed up 🤣🤭..I’m blaming it on the day I had😉😅

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

The first song was Dark Chest of Wonders (which you seem to know now). That said, Wacken Open Air sells out a year in advance. At that time NW had a different singer with a different style that many were not comfortable with. NW adapted and Anette (singer) did the best they could to hold the sound of NW. However, Anette was sick sometimes, involved with personal legal issues, and at one point was pregnant - and unlike Floor had breath control issues causing her to go off key noticeably. Anyway, when I bought my tickets in 2012, Anette was the expected singer. When it was announced that Floor was finishing the tour, some people who had never heard her sing were nervous. Dark Chest of Wonders squashed that fast.

[@heenez2397]

There are many different stories put in the comments around floor and her start in nightwish. The main one is that people re led to believe this was her fist gig with them and barely had time to get the songs in her head. That just is not true. It was true a half year or so before this performance. Around this time though floor had allready been touring extensively with nightwish since the 4th quarter of 2012.

[@BrendonChase_2015]

That's perfectly fine. You made one unforgivable mistake tho..😱 Nightwish managed to enchant 82,000 -1 ppl with their show. You missed our beloved "Time Traveller", the non-clapping dude with the hat --> 9:12 😁Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘

[@roblaw4554]

That "this" made your day better - says Everything. Enjoy your rabbitholeride..! Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

​@@jeffreyphipps1507 Perfect Summup!! I werent asked back then, some decade long Friends of mine just bought 6 Tickets for our Wackencrew how we named it back Then:) One of us had heard Floor with NW before somewhere in January i think and was hyped.i know some After Forever from Her, and know She could Sing, but missed and doubt it in Context to NW. I called it quits for 2013, really didnt liked Anettes Singing, although most monetary sucessfull Phase of NW as far as i know. Still were pissed of the Sacking of Tarja, and how it was mediatized and used making Numbers in the Next Album, so, NW werent an Reason to go to Wacken at All for me back Then. But i were convinced by the W.C.(short for our Wackencrew, or Water Closett:D) simply going with the Dudes, Sanitarian Standards at minimum, Fun maxed and some good Music on the Holy Acres:D.Purple. LEMMY!!( so sad!) Anthrax, Danzig D.A.R., Lamb of God and for my first Time Alice C....who did fail for me legendary, was so dissapointed nearly would have gone to the Tent,sparing me NW with new Singer at that Evening...and the rest is History !you summed it , like said, up perfectly, without my emotional bad english blubbering Grammer!

[@honorarythamesman5732]

Your reaction made me happy - purely because it's obvious you've had a tough day and a Nightwish song cheered you up - and that's what they do best - they bring emotions to the fore which most of the time really need to come out! And any band that can do that consistently is extremely good imho! Plenty of songs to come when you get around to reacting to them. We will all be there with you too. Have a great weekend 😊

[@oktober-vh6gl]

I think you're starting to see why the NW Army is so strong... this band just makes you feel things. you tap your foot, you sing along, you feel it through and through. Some of Tuomas' songs are just good fun, some are educational, others deep and introspective... and there's a couple that are really hard to hold the tears back when you listen. Regardless of the song choice, they almost always pull some emotion out of you. Tuomas is a gifted songwriter that isn't afraid at all to open the door to his heart and invite you into his pain and sorrow, his loneliness, as well as his joys and his triumphs... and Floor's expressive voice and range, her beautiful tone and impressive power... it's a perfect vehicle for Tuomas' stories. She finds a way to understand and empathize with what he's saying and make it her own while also giving us the ability to empathize along with them. You listened to one of the big 3 (GLS), and now have listened to one of the classic hits (Storytime). If you'd like to try one of the more emotional, more personal songs... I'd highly recommend Dead Boy's Poem, live from Buenos Aries.

[@chriso6719]

Nightwish is good medicine after a bad day.🤘☺🤘. The song is from the 2011 album, Imaginaerum, recorded with 2nd lead singer Anette Olzon. The operatic part in the studio version was done solely with the choir, Anette has more of a pop/rock style, and operatics aren't her forte. Floor can do them, so she did. Storytime, here at Wacken, was song #6 in a 15 song set. Every song was written for one of the first 2 lead singers, Floor added her touches, and made them her own. Tuomas (keyboards/primary songwriter) likes themes of stories and childhood innocence, and is a fan of Disney and composer Hans Zimmer. For more, try "Romanticide", "Everdream", or the show opener "Dark Chest of Wonders".

[@guybaeyens2513]

It is probably safe to say that this band's music has actually saved lives.

[@nevermore5168]

It literally saved mine 4 yrs ago.

[@optimusakc]

Saved might be a strong word for me but it for sure pulled me out of a really bad funk. Of course who knows, that funk might have turned into something worse so you never know. I do believe that their music really does bring people out of those dark places.

[@Green-Lyon]

I can vouch for the fact that over the last 5 years that I've been following Nightwish, these reaction video comment sections will attest to that. Nightwish has personally helped keep my heart above water through so much darkness since then.

[@shspurs1342]

I can understand if your comment is about playing or singing music. But if your comment is about listening to music. Then i just don’t get it.

[@ytcag2007]

Greetings Ginx. Of course we won't expect you to get it right in just 2 or 3 videos but the Army is always here to help you with that. No doubt this has been Nightwish's most iconic performance to date. Not putting down Tampere, Wembley Arena, or Buenos Aires, but this was Floor's first tour with the band but not her first concert. She walked onstage with them for the first time on October 1st 2012 in Seattle, Washington and she was already a permanent member here. The band offered her the position 2 months prior to this performance but it wasn't made public until it was announced to the media on October 9th. This band can cheer you up no matter how bad your day has been and despite your day, it was nice to see you smile and feel this tune. And if this made you smile, know that the journey gets better as we go. The opener for this tour is "Dark Chest Of Wonders", another awesome, high energy song! One last FYI.... Floor started performing with Nightwish in the middle of this tour, so for all those shows, it was the first time the fans saw and heard Floor with Nightwish when they were supposed to be seeing Anette Olzon. What a treat, huh? 😊 Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

[@ManuelGdeP]

it was not the first song (dark chest of wonders), she was a member of the band but it wasn't announced, Floor and Troy were told at the beginning of the festival season and Wacken was at the end. They were going to announce it early in 2014 but when the DVD came out the band decided to write the names as full band members and made the announcement. She was not pregnant then. By the way, love your reactions!!!!

[@poncandn1]

Nightwish helped me through the worst time of my life. Discovered them 2018-2019 at the age 50 watching REACTION VIDEOS, yeah, while I was packing, divorcing (being divorced), and leaving a malignant narcissist husband I'd lived with for 23 years...almost half my life at the time.

[@ginxreacts]

It is amazing how music soothes us during the worst times, thank you for sharing!

[@humphreyterveer1338]

Floor & Nightwish is something else, Floor does'nt need pitch control or auto tune she is the real deal, the hole package you want pop or opera, Floor can do it all!!

[@silverblack5475]

Floor was pretty well known by the Symphonic /Goth Metal community from her previous bands After Forever and Revamp , so she had a following and most people were thrilled to death that she was chosen to fill in and eventually become a permanent member .....alot of people wanted her After Tarja but she was in After Forever .

[@judedornisch4946]

Many people were thrilled. But we should not overstate how much of the fan base knew Floor especially outside of northern Europe. Not forgetting this was coming after the ReVamp hiatus where she had been out of sight for a while. Even more so because she was covering someone else's album tour.

[@PomLimey]

Still loving your reactions! The look of joy on your face when you listen to them is contagious. Yes, if you need a little boost of energy Storytime is ideal fix. Looking forward to accompanying you on your Nightwish journey.

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Yup, I'd say that up to 90% of the 82,000+ Wacken crowd there knew Floor. Cheers!

[@WNYretiree]

The look of joy on your face was so great to see. Nightwish is good for lightening any bad mood you may have. Even their angry songs are good for the ear. If you look at this video again. Keep an eye on the audience. See if you can spot the one that many of us call the "Time Traveler" Not going to tell you anything more about him, but I'm betting you'll guess who I'm talking about.

GODDESS FLOOR Is The BEST Singer In This Planet And A Really Beautiful Woman Inside & Out. Nightwish Don't Make MUSIC. They Make PURE ART!!!

[@Dsleepy66]

Nice to see you enjoying Nightwish. Their songs always bring up emotions. You can find a Nightwish song for any emotion that fits your mood, from feel good to heart wrenching and angry to thought provoking but always flawlessly performed.

[@kammurabi2313]

Floor Jansen's entrance to Nightwish was legendary enough and you might eventually want to watch the documentary film, "Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours," as it goes into the story of Floor's entry and the tour this concert was part of. But for now, I'd suggest "Ever Dream" from this same Wacken 2013 show. 🔥🤘🔥

[@michaelnolan6951]

I like to say that this is my favourite Nightwish song - except for all the others. You are getting why Wacken 2013 was such a special event. BTW this was not NWs first song there. Do yourself a favour and watch the entire Wacken show. Seriously, have a fantastic day!

[@Loftnessmonster]

Dark chest of wonders is the first song of this show. If you like energy exchanges, you should definitely check it out and see how Nightwish likes to open their shows.

[@michaelfreeman1634]

This song was the 6th (or 7th) song in the set but was probably still one of the songs the crowd was was most anticipating, being the feature song from the album the band was touring...Imaginaerum

[@Duskwind_]

It was hard to tell, but I think that you really enjoyed that 🤣You are also a wonderful human, welcome to the family 🤗Next time that you are feeling down watch this song: Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back - Live In Buenos Aires kzbin.info/www/bejne/inOylZqun8djoa8 It's the most fun that a human can have without breaking any laws 😁

Floor had been with the band for about 10 months at this point, and she was quite well known amongst fans of the genre, from her work with her previous bands After Forever and reVamp.

[@HenrikAskestad]

Nightwish is pretty much the only band both I (47 yo) and my daughter (15) can agree upon. We saw them live last summer and the experience was both transcendent and emotional.

[@FromG2eminor]

My favorite band, singer, and song of all time. This was a perfect song, as most of their songs, to make you happy no matter what kind of day you're having. This is not the first of the set but the first song "Dark Chest of Wonders" will equally blow your mind. Same vibe as Story Time.

[@als100]

You chose a GREAT song to lift your mood! And to be honest, this concert is legendary for Nightwish. It's considered one of the best performances they did EVER. And she was only 10 months with the band at the time. Any music from here is a good suggestion to hear. This song, which mentions Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, stories and storytellers... you can really FEEL the energy from the crowd. And their happy faces ALWAYS puts me in a great mood! It was not the show opener (it was Dark Chest of Wonders), nor the last one (Last Ride of The Day was the last one) but every single song played in this concert is a good choice to react. Floor Jansen is a force of nature. She's a fighter and a wonderful human being. I met her Oct/2022 and she's an absolute dear to the fans, as well as all the band. Thank you for reacting to my absolute favourite band. I've been a fan since the first formation and went through all the drama whey've been through... and I can say that, althrough I miss many of the original members, they're still absolutely my number one band. Loved your reaction!! Have a wonderful day and I hope your days are better!!

You will experience more emotions than you thought possible from music: you will cry, and then want more so that you can cry again; you will smile, and then want more so that you can smile again; you will listen in disbelief, and then want more so that you can listen again;. Each new song you listen to will become your favourite, until you revisit them again when you will agree that the one you are currently listening to now is your favourite. Then Captain Ginx you will sign up for another tour of duty because you cannot imagine a world without the music of Nightwish - Past, Present and Future - in it I know this to be true, because I was once you.

This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you witnessed first hand a "Dutch Windmill" , 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 pop/rockish sound (originally sung by Anette, the second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Including this "Operatic" part, what was originally done by children's choir because vocal limitations on their second singer (Great singer also, I might add), but Floor has none of that "Limit". 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.

I never heard any Nightwish song before 2 or 3 months ago. And I am 57 and heavily into Pink Floyd , Genesis , Yes etc. I went to 2 Pink concerts in my life including the Pulse one. But what Nightwish does live is unbelievable amazing and brilliant. These guys and girl are so good. Makes me proud being a fellow Dutchman. But don't forget these musicians: they are worldclass. Without a doubt the best Finnish band around.

[@mariodriessen9740]

Another old Dutch guy here, 56, heard a small number of early Nightwish songs and I didn’t like it at all. But during the covid lockdown the KZbin algorithm decided I needed to watch Nightwish, Ghost Love Score, Wacken 2013. Even though I thought I wasn’t going to like it I gave it a try. Mainly because my ex gf became my ex gf because she shared a huge passion for Nightwish with my nephew and ‘good friend’. It would be too easy to say that Nightwish was the sole reason why they got together and hurt me when I was going through the most difficult time in my life, but it did make me want to know what was so magical about them. AND I knew Floor and I just wanted to see how she would fill her role. Long story short, I loved and I didn’t miss a single day for at least two years of listening to Nightwish, which is something that only happened when I was still a teenager listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, David Bowie, Yes, Rush and many more. I saw all of them, except Zeppelin of course. And I think this is exactly why I began to love this band so much. In so many ways Nightwish is quite similar to all the aforementioned bands. They don’t care for normal (and boring) song structures, they’re not afraid to explore new musical grounds, every song is exactly as long as it should be, whether that’s a two minute song or a twenty minute song. Nightwish has all the ingredients I love in music. It’s easy for me to enjoy other genres of music, but this is where my heart lies. Did you see Pink Floyd in Nijmegen by the way? 😊

[@Greyhound53200]

Haha, obviously you had a lot of info to absorb and things got a bit mixed up. This was not the first but the sixth song from the Wacken 2013 setlist. They opened with Dark Chest of Wonders. Behind the scenes, yet unknown to the public, right before the Wacken concert, Floor was told that she was to be Nightwish's permanent front woman. By then she was about 10 months with the band and Wacken was going to be her big introduction to the European fans. You caught very well how dearly she was accepted and embraced by the anxious audience. No, Floor was not pregnant at that time. She even had not met her husband-to-be Hannes van Dahl (Sabaton's drummer). They have 2 daughters: Freija, born in 2017 and Lucy, born in 2023. Don't feel bad about it; it's a lot of info to process if you're just starting to get to know a band. All that matters to me is the way you've accepted their music. You don't even have to put it into words. Your enthusiasm, that beautiful big smile and those shining eyes, they tell it all! Kind regards from the Dutch Mountains.

All the things that you found impressive about Floor commanding the stage when you thought it was the opener... Right there in the actual opener. Give 'er a listen!

Hi Gina. Welcome to your Nightwish journey. I have watched a million reactions to NW songs, and I am an expert at calling BS when a "reactor" is clearly just looking for views, likes and subs. You are different. I loved when your inner 20 yo music loving kid shined through the tired face of your bad day. Your smile could not be suppressed, and your eyes lit up. That was a genuine reaction if I ever saw one, and I felt it. Let us know if you are not a metalhead, and you would prefer for us to ease you into the NW universe, starting with suggesting from the lighter, softer, happier side of NW. Then you can gradually be exposed to the more complex, darker side of Nightwish (however, there is usually always a silver lining even in the darker songs). NW can make you happy, sad, pumped or relaxed. Let us know where to take you and what you need. But please remember: You can only react to Nightwish for the first time once, so please take your time and enjoy it. Two words of advice after watching hundreds of NW reactions. If you think you are into reacting to Nightwish for the long haul, wait with reacting to "The Poet and the Pendulum" until you are intimately familiar with NW, its members, its history and the backstory for this particular track. Otherwise you will not get anyting out of that reaction. Under the right circumstances, this song will make you shed tears in deep understanding and sympathy with Tuomas' experience at the time he wrote it. Also, reacting to "The Greatest Show on Earth" is kind of the pinnacle of NW performances, and should - IMO - be kept for when you are just about done reacting to the main Nightwish songs. I think the 2015 Tampere version is better than the 2015 Wembley version (the whole band is SHINING in this one), unless you are a huge Richard Dawkins fan. Please ask the NW army for the best/correct links to react to, as reacting to the best of the performances is the best way to enjoy the journey to the max. Gabriel Bardacs list has most of the links that you will need (www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community) on your journey. And please take us along your journey of discovering NW for the first time. Big hug from Denmark.

Amen, great comment

[@pdutchie4924]

Every time your mood or energy needs a lift up, watch this, never fails❣️ Subscribed to follow your Floor/Nightwish journey.

[@haroldcrown5541]

Floor had not yet met her husband who is the drummer for sabaton. She did however do a tour pregnant and crush it. Last year at pink pop festival she did a full set of her own music in the morning then a full Nightwish set in the evening.

[@Thorgrim247]

You definitely found the solution to your difficult day. Your smile started almost immediately. This is not the opener. You need to experience that one as well. "Dark Chest of Wonders". Maybe next one? This one is originally sung by Annette. Floor kills it. Even choosing to sing the opera section live. How can any passionate music fan not be captured by Floor's amazing charisma, stage presence, and unmatched vocal ability? She was not pregnant on this tour. However, she has done touring more recently while 5 months pregnant. Hope your day take a better turn going forward Ginx. Your passion is so apparent. Beautiful smile! Welcome to the Floor show. She takes on songs from every era of Nightwish and never disappoints. Yes, I am enchanted, enthralled, bewitch, and maybe even obsessed with all things Floor Jansen and Nightwish!

[@jimmybumgardner8322]

Listening to NIGHTWISH makes me happy. I always have fun and it's ok to cry. Floor has always brought tears to my eyes, because I am soo happy the tears just start coming out. Her voice just dose something to me, especially when she hits those high notes. Glad you found NIGHTWISH, now enjoy them. Great reaction, more please.

[@ginxreacts]

So glad you enjoy the reaction! Thank you. I have definitely already joined the Nightwish Army☺️…and agree with you about the tears, it is just so powerful and wonderful to witness/experience

[@jimmybumgardner8322]

I know you are getting hammered by the nightwish army, but when you get a chance. Floor bands (After Forever) before nightwish did a live song that really good. The name of it is (Dreamflight) live progpower USA 2007. Really good, she let's it rip.

[@richardschmid4734]

Dann auch Hallo von mir. Ich bin ganz schlecht in Englisch, darum schreibe ich im Deutsch. Mich hat es vor 2 Jahren erwischt mit Nightwish. Ichnkannte davor eigentlich nur 2 oder 3 Lieder die da noch von Tarja performt wurden. Die zweite Sängerin ging komplett an mir vorbei. Und dann kam Floor und haut dieses Konzert in meiner Heimat raus. Wacken ist ja in Deutschland. Meine Tipps. Oh Gott da sind soviele gute Songs. Aber zum Anfang würde ich die Wembley 2015 Show, Das High Hopes Cover von Marco und vielleicht auch noch Devil an zhe deep dark Ocean empfehlen. Und viel Spaß weiterhin bei Nightwish. Es ist eine Sucht. Aber eine gute😁👍 Gruss aus Bavaria!!!

[@bl4ckfl4g]

I hope you go down the whole floor/nightwish rabbit hole. It’s so good and emotional

[@ginxreacts]

Oh I absolutely am in the process…the very beginnings of my journey😅😉

[@Aenea-de9vy]

Great reaction! Sometimes I have to listen to Nightwish in the middle of my workday, to boost my energy level. Works every time!

[@zanetpieterse7933]

That's a BIG smile 😀 so glad you enjoyed it! Best wishes from Namibia 🇳🇦

[@emmanx011]

Love seeing your face just "light up" 😊 That's what Nightwish DO !❤ Their music is also so "versatile", that you can always find a song that "fits your day". Btw...have you ever been to Wacke, Germany? They hacmve this AMAZING concert, once a year. At this one, they're were OVER 80 000 people!!! (Some have toldme 65000 ...but STILL an amazing amount of people! ❤🤩

[@ginxreacts]

I have never left this continent unfortunately 😅😭…but it absolutely looks like an AMAZING experience

[@sfowl47]

There will be more tears, let them come. Love how enthusiastic you are while watching them!! Subbed

[@IAMisLove]

👍Awesome Nightwish live performance. 🖖❤

[@craigbolton5093]

Nightwish got me through the last four years.

[@s.b.norton9481]

They will always make your day better 😀

[@danielisrael1788]

Merci de continuer avec mon groupe préféré, ( Avec un peu de retard ) très bonne réaction de votre part et excellente analyse mais dans le désordre. L'armée NIGHTWISH de France est heureuse de vous compter parmi nous désormais. Encore plus d'écoute SVP, fiez vous à la liste de Gabriel pour avoir le meilleur du groupe mais ce n'est pas une obligation. Le terrier est tellement profond, bonne chance a sa découverte, pour ma part, je n'ai pas touché le fond encore et j'ai l'impression que cela n'arrivera jamais. Encore du NIGHTWISH et merci d'avance, vous ne serez jamais déçu, autre chose à savoir, cette chanson n'est pas celle d'ouverture du set mais la 6ème et une dernière chose, que la dernière chanson écoutée deviendra aussitôt votre préférée, vous aurez l'occasion de vous en rendre compte. A bientôt et paix sur vous mon amie .......

[@ericg6306]

Love your Nightwish reactions! Keep 'em coming. A tip for your videos though... your voice volume is low compared to the music video part. Have to turn up to hear you talk, then BOOM the music is blaring loud after lol

[@ginxreacts]

Thank you! ☺️

[@eiwity13]

🎼👍👍🇳🇱🤘🤘🎼🎤💕

[@Magyarkhan]

Queen goddess Floor casually mass healing the audience

[@kurtsharp1409]

I love putting this track on after a hard day at work. No matter what the day has been like, this always makes me smile. Watching your reaction to it just made me smile all the more. Keep up the good work and I hope you continue to check them out, there's so much variety of excellent music and performances in the Nightwish catalogue

[@Marien4567]

You're already one of my favourite reactors :) It is so much fun seeing the effect Nightwish has on you :) Already in anticipation waiting for you to react to Ghost River, Seven days to the wolves, Devil and the deep dark Ocean....etc. etc. etc. Best wishes from The Netherlands!

[@ginxreacts]

Thank you so much, I am glad you are enjoying!

[@nightwisharmyuk]

UK Army popping in for a little story x

[@Donna-C]

Great reaction - you enjoyed that one! 😊

[@jimharris367]

Bloody awesome, just brilliant to see your joy at witnessing this incredible band. She wasn't pregnant at this show, she was on their last tour, which is documented in their recent release of the 'Tribal' video. Check out the actual opening song (😉) Dark Chest of Wonders next, it's a hell of a way to kick things off 🤘

[@franciscobautista332]

Nice reaction. Greetings from Mexico City 🇲🇽

[@carkidmallows9746]

Thanks for a truly great and honest reaction. I really hope you are ok. A problem shared is a problem halved. I have suffered from depression for a number of years and music definitely helps get through crap days. Talk if you need to sweetheart. This awesome band certainly puts a smile of my face with their incredible energy and stage presence. One of my favourite bands along side Disturbed. This is real music. Keep on doing what makes you happy and keep that lovely smile. Take care. Jay.

[@ginxreacts]

Thank you so much for your kind words☺️…I’m a momma and both me and the kiddo had a rough day together…Nightwish was such a great and perfect outlet

[@carkidmallows9746]

Glad the music cheered you up. I've only been introduced to Nightwish about a year and a half ago and the first time listening to symphonic metal. To say I was blown away was an understatement. Remember, I'm always here if you need to rant and get stuff off your chest. Been told I'm a good listener. I'm a home carer so have a lot of patience. Take care and keep that head strong. You're amazing. How's that for a pick me up?lol. All the best, Jay. Nightwish fan from .UK

[@alejandromoya7]

Amazing genuine reaction and great analysis, too. #Floorgasm

[@ginxreacts]

Thank you ☺️

[@randalljones4370]

Lol, it's all good. This music just writes it's own history, and survives all us human-types' feeble attempts to describe. Word Salad is a common reaction. It was fun to watch the eyes (and dropping jaw, lol) of a Sonic Engineer as she tried to figure out "how could I make this MORE AWESOME??" I'm not sure how they did it, but the drum-mic'ing is astounding on this one.... so is the break down, but hey, so is EVERY NW breakdown. One thing I REALLY like is how they got the levels rights between the live vocals and the choral track... to me, this would be so tough... it's tough enough getting all the live stuff balanced. So, I'm sure you have your next half dozen NW reactions lined up (or perhaps already recorded), but I'd really like to hear your feedback on Dark Chest of Wonders (the opener for this concert). Not to spoil any of the fun, but it's not every day one gets to hear tympany in a metal concert (it's just a 1-2 second bit, but it must have been brain rattling, between the tymp and the bass), So glad you're along for the ride. Drag in some co-workers, a band member you're working with, or the night janitor (they're probably some MIT-level psychoacoustics engineer.. You know, a regular George Bernard Dantzig of audio engineering. Grab a beer or two and fill a blackboard with lines and graphs and drawings of what makes a Nightwish song "great". It'd be fun. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time with lunatics like us Blind Doc Jones, Post Graduate Fellow in the field of Valkyuric Metalurgy.

[@seangrover6101]

Great reaction to a great song. I would recommend Romantacide next

[@ginxreacts]

Thank you! I will say my next NW reaction will be Datk Chest of Wonders…lol, since that was the ACTUAL first some of the set🤭😅..cuz I am absolutely looking forward to seeing how they start the show

[@kevinjennings238]

Well, WooHoo & Okie Dokie! Great reaction. Your eyes actually got bigger in the operatic part. ••• Four! SOOTH!!!

[@traceysharpe6330]

Music has a flow, And when you stop to much for to long, It kills the flow. Kill the Flow, Kill the Music.. This only hurts the band... SHAME ON THE MESS !!!.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@GINX Media: I hope you're doing okay, even after a crappy day. For me, because I'm a chronic depressive, I use music to fight through my bad days. Not so much Nightwish now, as my go-to "pick me up" bands are Unleash the Archers, led by Brittney Slayes, and Indian folk metal band Bloodywood. Should you choose to react to either band, here are my recommendations for each: 1) Abyss, Unleash the Archers 2) Aaj, Bloodywood (Note: As Bloodywood is Indian, they sing in Hindi and English. "Aaj" is Hindi for "today.")

[@phillipgross1887]

I think you will find NightWish is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get, you just know it's going to be damn good, enjoy your journey, it's a great one. I love them, it you have time you might want to check out a band from Japan, they are a metal band, sing in English, they have some awesome music, lyrics, and performances(especially live performances) you might want to give them a spin......band is LOVEBITES, song is Holy War...kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJikqaN7paqWpNE

[@maximebemer3407]

New suscriber here. Nightwish will not disapoint you live. Never. Of course i hope you will explore the Nightwish rabbit hole for a long time. I also hope you will give a try to others amazing bands. Amongst them (pick your poison, they're all good) Jinjer ("pisces" live one take session), Heilung ("In Maidjan", live at Castlefest 2017, as a song ingeneer you will love it) Spiritbox ("Circle with me" one take performance) Electric Callboy ("We got the moves" clip is so funny) And so on... so many things to discover! Also you can try all Floor Jansen songs, those from Beste Zanger 2018 show are quite good, duet with Simone Simon from Epica, et caetera... Cheers, love and peace!
