NIGHTWISH | GHOST LOVE SCORE *FIRST TIME* REACTION | MUSICIAN REACTS

[@offthecufff]

you've made this my most viewed video on my channel so far! thank you so so so so much more nightwish coming!

[@MrFaustino03]

Please try The Greatest Show On Earth by Nightwish, you won't be disappointed.

[@jpdemer5]

It's a deep rabbit hole you're going down. This is a concert from 2013, when Jansen was new to the band - I'd say it worked out OK. The band was in top form, and every song from this concert is amazing. Toss in "The Greatest Show on Earth" and you have a hefty fraction of their best music. Then there's all the other stuff that Jansen has done outside of Nightwish . . . she's probably the best voice in rock, and has been for the past decade.

[@gabriel.bardac]

Hello Alex [Off The Cuff Reviews] ! 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 was performed in Wacken Open Air 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.

"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 ..)

Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! 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 5 octaves (Eb2 to F5) 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. And Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. 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 hope, that there is more coming. We are on Standby mode for now .... 🤘😎🤘.

I just love the background you have :D You are right about Nightwish fans, we are very passionate. Nightwish is a very special band. The composer Tuomas Holopainen has an ability to paint the most amazing musical scenery with so many colours and styles. Ghost Love Score is a more theatrical type song and I often say it´s the most beautiful song in the universe. I wish you well on your Nightwish journey :D

[@offthecufff]

thank you so much! i really appreciate the comment and im glad to be finally listening to nightwish! i cant believe it took me so long!

[@fredvanwyk5869]

'They sound like there are 20 people behind them' ..? Its symphonic metal and their songs are backed up by the entire London philharmonic orchestra (and choirs sometimes as well). Not live of course. But that is what you hear. If you are really new to Nightwish, you have quite some catching up to do, man! I really recommend it and you won't be disappointed! At least take a few songs of Gabriel's list. Thanks for doing this!

[@kentk2215]

Welcome to Nightwish! A journey well worth making. All 15 songs from this show are truly great. Enjoy! - NW Army Texas

[@josspronck2175]

What’s is impressive is the tightness of this band, they collab with the “London Symphony Orchestra” so, they have to be in sinc with the track!

[@JesperH1967]

Nightwish has a HUGE back cataloque and history since 1998. It is really worthwhile diggin into it, explore the 2 former singers (they were/are really great in each their own way). Ghost Love Score was originally sung by Tarja Turunen when she was the front singer (until 2005 - sad history about her getting kicked out) - but take a look on the live version from 2005 (End of And Era). Then you see where the operatic style, that Floor uses, is originated from. That said - Nightwish have never been as popular as since Floor was hired as frontsinger - her versatality in unquestionable. Cheers Jesper - part of NW-army since 2000 🙂

[@offthecufff]

ooo yeah ill definitely have to dive into older stuff from them! thank you so much for watching!!! i really appreciate it! stay tuned for more!

Nightwish with Floor Jansen are probably the most diverse and versatile band in the world, and Certainly one of if not the BEST. The Drummer here is Jukka, bass is handled by Marco, Keyboards is Tuomas and Guitar is Emppu, there is a sixth member Troy Donockley who plays Uillean Pipes, Low Whistle, Whistle and Bazouki, he also plays guitar and now sings with the band. At the time of this concert Troy and Floor were guest musicians, though invited to become full members around the time of Wacken and announced when the Wacken DVD was released, it is one of the Classic Rock concert DVDs.

Nightwish is Finnish symphonic metal band formed 1996 by Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards, writer and composer of songs), Erno Matti Juhani ”Emppu” Vuorinen (guitar) and Jukka Nevalainen (drums in this song, but the current drummer is Kai Hahto). In 1996 they asked Tarja Turunen to be their singer. Many people make mistake that Tarja is one of the founders of Nightwish, it is not true. She is the first singer. Anette Olson was the second singer. The current singer is Floor Jansen.

[@tiiiiiiia9951]

But without Tarjas voice there would not be Nightwish 🤷‍♀️

[@MilaMan]

@@tiiiiiiia9951 Correct, you are right.

[@damienmaynard8892]

This song was from their 2004 album, "Once", which was recorded with their first singer, Tarja Turunen. It was Tarja's last album with them. It was a majestic masterpiece then.... This version raised the bar out of this Galaxy! London Philharmonic Orchestra and London Metro Voices Choir recorded the backing track... HUGE indeed! Tuomas, on keyboards, IS GOAT - THE Metal Mozart, poet, composer, Ocean Born, Ocean Soul, Dead Boy, Dead Poet!!! I think it's a bit funny to call Tuomas GOAT - because the /a Finnish word for "goat" and "keyboard" sounds similar (when spoken quickly) to a non-native speaker!!!.... Gabriel's info is right!

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 love your enthusiasm about this song. The use of different rhythms is remarkable (weird 4/4 and 3/4 in intro, later 4/4, after break 6/8 and so on). Also, harmonies require more than one voice :-) where you mentioned harmonies there was only Floor (and she sounds like more than one voice).

[@jukkahelminen9071]

Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish ! You made a good and pleasant video. I will wait for new similar ones in the future. Regarding Nightwish, Gabriel already gave a good link compilation. Please use the links on his list, they have been selected so that the audio quality is good. And of course, you don't have to go through the list in order, but you can pick songs from there that you want to hear, what is suggested, etc. You can think of that list as a library, where you can pick up an opus that interests you. 🙂😉😊

2:04 You say this band plays a lot of festivals. So this is not the first time you see them on a video from a festival. How much have you seen Nightwish before this? I thought it was a first time reaction.

[@offthecufff]

lmfao it was an assumption considering how big the crowd was?! and thats why i said that because their following seems huge!

[@Mischnikvideos]

Ever since Rammstein set new standards, this pyro show has only been average. The bull skull on the left is the Wacken Open Air logo. It burns independently of the bands. Rammstein: Paris - Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen? (official video)

thanks for the heads up!!! but oh yeah rammstein is great with the pyro show!!!

hope you enjoyed this one!

[@andreagruber5813]

Thank you so much for the reaction and I am sure the NW-Army will give you a great list, to go through. You ask about pyro? Well, I am for all from the "Rammstein-Army" (but also like NW). Due to it, that I am originally from Austria, I heard the first time from Rammstein in 1997 with the song "Engel". The vocalist is a licensed pyrotechnician, but I am not sure if you like industry metal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4TEkmaseMShaM0 There you can see, how far it can go. Also sorry, the guys are performing in German. You do not have to react, but you can. The Rammstein-Army is minimum same strong as the NW-Army, I only hope no one starts to fight. I say it again, I like both, only know Rammstein longer.

yesss i can't wait to watch! i got a few requests for phantom of the opera! i'm excited to check that out! thank you!

[@SymphonicEllen]

Doesn't have to be a reaction, but you definitely need to watch the End of an Era version. There's lots of sweet harmony that they didn't include here because it was too subtle to be heard over 80K + screaming. Same with Elan and Noise. Nice little outros on the official vids, just not conducive to keeping the flow going at a big concert like that. ( Double reactions with studio and live as well as old Tarja live + Floor live are cool. ) Awww I don't mind kitteh :)

More pyrotechnics you say? Rammstein has entered the chat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2arcniwetBrh68 I bring them up because I believe they were told at one point they couldn't do any pyrotechnics due to a lack of professionals so the entire band became certified to do so. (Here's a video of not a song, just them being crazy on stage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYmTeIueebGUeZY )

I really used to like this band until the singer was sexually assaulted onstage and the band members did nothing, just standing around letting it happen, and when they fired another singer because he was pregnant, but when I was reading an interview last month about how the bass player that left over a year and a half ago due to depression and he said he has not talked to anyone in the band since, that was really the final off switch for me.

@@doicounttoo6861 Are you seriously defending a band that just stood there while the singer was sexually assaulted and when she ran off stage they just kept playing? Yes, they are allowed to crack the guy in the head with a guitar or gang rush him to prevent a sexual assault, especially in Mexico and it doesn't even matter, you always protect your own.
