NightWish Nemo Wacken 2013 Reaction

[@YNGWIE998]

Sue (and the Wolfman) I am in my 70th. year, and Nightwish have restored my faith in good music. I have heard most of the 'greats' in contemporary music, from 1968 right through to , well....I gave up after progressive rock, UNTIL I discovered Nightwish...there s no turning back!

[@TomTomson81]

Nightwish unites generations in concerts so don't worry. No matter how old you are, you are young enough.

[@hellen__1]

Great reaction and nooooo your never to old for Nightwish . Im 58 and there are people even older

[@tompickles9798]

Hey Guy's NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE from the UK. I'm in my 60s and I'm of to see NIGHTWISH at the NEC BIRMINGHAM IN NOVEMBER. I came across Nightwish 12mnths ago and never heard anything like it in 40yrs. There is no age limit for music lovers lol Great reaction guys.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thank you so much Tom for those kind words. We’re glad to be here.

Greetings, SueSueandthewolfman! Nightwish Army Nebraska checking in again. Another great reaction. You will not be the oldest people at the concert. I am 56 and my wife is 61 and we are going to Denver to see them in May. We just got our tickets and are excited to go. Maybe we will see you there.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thanks Steve! Maybe we’ll see you!

[@joekel55]

Nemo is latin for no one / nobody. It's about the keyboard Player himself in his youth, he found himself "A nobody". And now... He's the Mastermind of the band, he writes and composes 95 % of all their Songs included the symphonic parts.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Thank you so much! we love the backstory

[@jessicakoster2543]

For a long time I thought Nemo was an abbreviation for nevermore.

Well, I am 62, discovered Nightwish few years ago when Floor performed in a Dutch music tv show, and love it, lots of older fans that like to visit their concert ;-)

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thank you so much for your reaction to our reaction! And if you haven’t read a lot of our comments you will see that we love the Dutch! And there seems to be a lot of people from the Netherlands on this reaction channel. We love it and I understand the floor is from the Netherlands

I'm 55 and I found Floor and Nightwish in 2019. Now I'm a big fan of Nightwish.

[@sonosoloio]

I am 52 years old, but it is only a few years ago that I discovered this fantastic band and I was completely and irreversibly "kidnapped" by the incredible genius of Tuomas (composer of almost all the songs and keyboardist of the band), the immense talent of Floor and the exceptional skill of the whole band. there are hundreds of songs to suggest for your next reactions and to enjoy with you but for the moment, continuing with the epic 2013 concert in wacken in which every performance is a masterpiece, you could simply start from the beginning of the concert and enjoy them all, however, there are two videos to watch that I would like to suggest: "storytime" kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIbZdqaObqlnm7c "song of myself" kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLYZoSgnsl7jck

Well, I'm 60 and going to NYC in May!! =D And If I didn't already.... Welcome, to Nightwish. :) Here is my list for you......but first..... Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) who is actually Dutch and the 3rd of the bands lead singers. By the way....she is 6'1" and known as the Valkyrie Goddess. Marco - Bass and vocals (wait until you hear him sing with Floor and solo....) This band is going to rock your world dude. Emppu - Lead guitar (jokester and very deliberative in his playing) Jukka on drums, but had to stop due to insomnia (but is still behind the scenes with Nightwish), new drummer is Kai who was the drummer with Wintersun. Tuomas - keyboards and main song writer/choreographer for Nightwish aka genius. :) And Troy, who you will see trust me, as he is vocals/flute/woodwind/bagpipes/you name it lol. :) Here's just a few Nightwish live songs for you to choose from....

[@SteveOpstad]

60 yr old Nightwish lover here. To me there is so much depth to Nightwish songs that the experience means even more to those of us that are a bit older. Many tears I've shed with this band, and I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to feel all they bring to life. I have my ticket for NYC May 8th. This band has been around since '96, there is no limit to what they can do, there is no age limit to enjoy. Your journey has just begun, enjoy the ride.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thank you Steve! We are the same age. For me I had just about given up on finding music I could connect with. This certainly fills that void. We hope to make a concert one day with all the “seniors”

[@Piia2023]

Hi guys, on Nightwish concers you see people from 10 years to over 70 years and everything in between...you never to old for their music... :)

[@tw1398]

The comparison to Evanescence is actually very very common for reactors new to Nightwish. Don't feel bad. But, as great as Amy Lee is, Floor is in a league of her own. And so is the rest of the band, for that matter!

[@musicfromtheheart100]

Well, I was having a look at your back catalog today, and found a couple of your earlier videos that I wanted to check out. This being one of 'em. Such fun to see how you both started out on YT and how you got into NW! You've come a long way in in the past 15 months, and the Internet's only gotten better with the two of you sharing your passion for music with the rest of the world. Thank you for doing you. 🙏❤

[@572Btriode]

​@@jeffhoffman8370 Holopainen is a genius, not only the music, but his lyrics are very metaphorical and allegorical, he never explains them in detail even to Floor and the band, although some are obvious others are almost impenetrable, generally the listener is to make his or her own interpretation. Be aware he writes often from his own experiences and uses a number of pseudonyms, he has said he's a man but with a boy's heart, so boy, or "one with a pure heart", poet, dreamer, song writer/writer, or ocean soul is Tuomas referring to himself. The latter especially as he was originally studying to be a marine biologist but having said he didn't like metal music, when on a student exchange in Kansas, his hosts took him to a Metallica concert and the rest is history, you will eventually come across a Metallica musical nod. . . . . . . Be aware too that their accuracy with the treatment of natural science has led to a number of things names after Nightwish and two members: Tmesisternus floorjansenae. A beetle Tanidromites nightwishorum. A Species of Crab Sciophila holopaineni. A Shadow loving Insect. Ophiomitrella Floorae. An unknown brittle star species that lived in the Cretaceous era named after Floor Jansen Alpenglow Rockshelter. A prehistoric rockshelter discovered in Pennsylvania, USA and located just a few hundred meters from the Council Rocks archaeoastronomy (Stonehenge-type) site dating to at least 1825 BC - 4000 years before present.

Great reaction. This band is so good and diverse, it draws music lovers from all ages. And don't worry about your age when deciding to go to a concert. Music has no age limit. You like what you like. I'm 60 and have seven concerts scheduled (to date) I'm going to this year. One of them being Nightwish in May. I'm driving up from Atlanta to Boston to go see them. Life's too short to miss out on what you enjoy.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thanks for the comment! We hope to get some concerts in this year but especially with NightWish. We used to go to quite a few but life got in the way we get older etc. but it’s nice to hear another 60 year old that wants to go see live bands.

If you want to prep for Denver, you should listen to some of their newer stuff, especially the latest album "Human :||: Nature". Since they couldn't start with a live tour to promote it (due to Corona) they published a set of awesome lyric videos for it. It's a good idea to listen to the album in order, the first song is called "Music" and tells the history of music from Musics own perspective. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKjdaGCebrF2erc

[@christomashofski9160]

@@SueSueandthewolfman You definitely would NOT be the oldest people there. Their fanbase covers all generations. We saw them in Miami in 2018, 3rd row back from the stage. We're in our late 60's, and the rows in front of us were filled with couples older than us as well as "pink haired" teenagers and middle age "soccer moms/dads" with their little ones in tow. You generally don't have to worry about a troublemaker crowd with Nightwish. Their fanbase tends to attract a great bunch of serious and friendly people. It is a fun and friendly environment. Although I'd recommend avoiding a mosh pit if you're over 40. Opt for the seated accommodations. Oh, one other caution: Nightwish does not have any "pee songs." Pee songs are those that "every band" has that you won't mind missing if you use them as an excuse for a bathroom break. Yeah, Nightwish has none of them. You just have to resign yourself to the reality that you're gonna haffta miss a great song when you finally can't hold it anymore!! LOL

Go see Nightwish. You will not be the oldest people there. I am going to the May 13th show and I am older than both of you. There will be fans of all ages for Nightwish. No worries about Amy Lee. We all love her as well. However, after you hear more from Nightwish and especially Floor Jansen, you will understand the depth of her extreme vocal talents. To get a taste of her versatility and range, check out some of Floor's solo covers from her YT channel. She recorded these at her home studio in Sweden for all of us fans during the pandemic. See link for an example. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ_HqHeoZ6uWnLc - Floor Jansen - Agape

Their fans are actually - let's call it experienced - I guess that the average age are around 40, on concerts. But never mind - age is just a number.

Thank you so much for your comments. It’s amazing to me that this band is reaching all of the world. I know the comparisons to Emily is all and just. There’s really not really comparison but we do love evanescence over here. Thanks for watching the video and please keep coming back.

[@JLatzMD]

Definitely looks like the Longhorn’s logo. Cool stuff sis/Jeff👍🏻👍🏻

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thanks John! So we weren’t crazy to think maybe it was Texas right? But it’s amazing how many people from all over for the world love this band. We have definitely been sucked in to the rabbit hole brother!

[@Mars-is4un]

hello dear people you are doing great if you like Floor then we can also listen to the concert of her solo, concert was in Amsterdam naar het nummer "slow love slow" 🤗🍒

[@helli0n824]

oh yes, only the second reaction video and what a progression to the first ! and TRUST me when i say you are / will be NOT the oldest persons at the concert...i was at every single Nightwish concert in my reach, and there is a big crowd of grey haired people ( ah shit me too ;) ) so, i am subbed for more now and the notify bell is on

[@helli0n824]

once your done with Wacken, head on to Tampere 2015 ... why ? You will only hear songs from the wacken 2013, that are NOT written to Floors Voice.She is the 3rd Singer and came to the band ~10 months before that festival Tampere has a lot (not all) songs that are written to Floors voice so much to tell ... :D

[@clivematthews5296]

Thanks guys, great reaction. Not a problem if you pause occasionally to comment but always worth winding back ten seconds. Worth visiting Floor's KZbin channel for some amazing covers plus she is gradually releasing all the songs from her recent solo concert in Amsterdam on there. By the way nearly 70 and have sung in rock bands and musicals for over 50 years and still rate Floor as the best there is currently.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Hey Clive! Always good to see your comments. Congratulations on 50 years of following the muse! I too have been playing for almost as long. I’ve played with excellent musicians and singers all my life but can honestly say NW has the greatest collection of musicians. Thank you sir

[@clivematthews5296]

@@jeffhoffman8370 I must confess that I occasionally write then delete some comments as don't like to be thought of as a troll but some so called "musicians" are unbelievable. Can't abide rap generally and don't get me started on Kanye West !!

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Totally agree Clive! I believe I commented on one of your comments but maybe not I had almost given up on music in the states. I’ve had played for many many years in some cover bands and in some original bands but the music today has gotten to where I can’t appreciate hardly any of it. It’s way over produced and the lyrics of garbage. NightWish what is a breath of fresh air for us. Thanks again brother

[@clivematthews5296]

@@jeffhoffman8370 Yes I sang lots of covers from Hendrix, Sabbath Purple, Rush, AC/DC Zeppelin, Motorhead but recognise that Floor is exceptional. And such a lovely person.

[@kentk2215]

The crowds at their US shows are much smaller and older. You should go see them if you have the chance. They are doing a few US shows in May. No need to apologize for any comparisons you make.

[@Zoey-K-1]

You won’t be the oldest people there…I’m in my 50s and there are more of us than you might think. One thing you’ll find as you go through more Nightwish videos…they don’t really fit into a specific genre, despite being labeled symphonic metal…they are really diverse and incorporate a lot of different styles/genres, kind of a genre unto themselves, really. Don’t worry about people being overly critical…you’re doing fine for only two reactions! To hear something a bit different from them compared to what you’ve listened to as far, I’d recommend My Walden live at Tampere…a more folk-influenced side of them.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thanks Chris, we’ve been getting a lot of comments about our age not being a factor. Good to hear that. Also I like the idea that they are a genre into themselves, very few bands can pull that off. I look forward to seeing more and more. And I will certainly check out any new suggestions that you have. Thanks

[@sandyegun3780]

You would not be the oldest people there.... guaranteed. They affect all ages. I'm in my 70s. My kids and grandkids are fans.

[@markhoward2811]

I've been a Nightwish fan since 2005 and I'm 58 now. It's a huge rabbit hole to go down as there are others out there as well. Floor is one of a large number of fantastic Dutch female metal singers. There must be something in the water there. For a crossover duet, try 'Sancta Terra' by Dutch symphonic metal band Epica featuring Floor Jansen from the live retrospect tour which came out in the same year as this. Floor also has a younger sister, Irene who she has duetted with as well. Check out ' The Eye of Ra' live by symphonic metal project band Ayreon as an example of this

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thank you so much for the suggestion. We really appreciate it and thank you for your comments. We are brand new but I think we’re going to be here for a while!

[@guybaeyens2513]

So, you kinda like Floor then? If you 'd like to see her perform a live Nightwish track with Troy (the guy on flute here) in an acoustic setting, then you could consider reacting to "How's the heart - acoustic). But wherever you go with Floor on the mike, you can't go wrong. BTW Nightwish fans often greet with 'how's the heart?'. Oh, and one of Floor's diehard fans is very much into Nightwish, she's 102 and probably finds you're kids. Have a great day!

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Wow, thanks Guy! That’s on my bucket list now I have to meet the 102-year-old Nightwish fan! We certainly would be babies to her. I will check out floor anywhere I can find her. We’ve had a lot of very good suggestions for upcoming videos so we got our work cut out for us. Thank you again for the suggestion and the comments.

Thank you Amy!

[@patverum9051]

Great reaction, it works well for us this way, no need to stop for copyright reasons anyway...just be careful with The Poem and the Pendulum, some rapper sampled the start of the song so copyright from his record company could apply.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Wow, thank you so much. That is information that we definitely need to know! Keep coming back.

[@NightwishArena]

Amy Lee is great, and this whole "take it as an offense" -thing was started as a joke back in the days, because 90% of American reactors did that comparison and seemed to know Evanescence, but not Nightwish. But these things tend to grow, and sometimes they end up being a little bit tasteless "jokes". I am an old NW fan, so for me Floor is not the one and the only, because I really loved Tarja (1stsinger) as well, and I still prefer her on most of their old songs. And thanks for this. It was a lot better video with these little changes you made. Subscribed.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Thank you so much for the kind words. We figured it was a joke about Aimee but we like to play along! Glad you like the latest reaction and thank you for subscribing

No u wo the the oldest! I'm in my 50s and I'm going!!! Go I am.

[@m00nm00n]

Quick cheat sheet: Nightwish is from Finland. Every member *except* Floor is finnish. Floor is dutch (but lives in Sweden - just to confuse u even more ) The drummer (in the two vids you've reacted to so far) is no longer their drummer. Still part of Nightwish, albeit 'behind the scenes'-kinda job. edit: probably useless info by now since this video is from days ago. oh well =)

[@susanhoffman4835]

Thank you!

[@Green-Lyon]

Oh No! "She Who Must Not Be Named" once again had her name spoken aloud! Get out the pitchforks and the torches! Lol 😄. I personally think Floor has nothing to worry about from any other singer and needs no defending. Anyone who continues to listen to this vocal Valkyrie will find out pretty quickly the true extent of her talent. From this dedicated Floor fanatic let me just say, it's ok.

[@jeffhoffman8370]

Green! Thank you for the commentary. I apologize for cursing on that video by using the name that she’ll not be named! That’s actually very hilarious. Love the commentary!

You definitely wouldn't be the oldest people there. I might, but you wouldn't. Like the video at the top.
