Nightwish had 4 albums out before Evenescence even released their debut.

[@marcmetz5597]

Your reactions are stellar! Even if you don't watch the videos, many Nightwish fans are asking for the live reactions because of the love for Floor Jansen and the energy she brings to some of the older songs. Really the whole band is more energetic live. But I will love whatever you decide to do.

[@ez0950]

I will be a pain in the ask.... Nightwish-Romanticide live wacken 2013. With nightwish you need to do live. They are best enjoyed live. Besides, how can you fully enjoy a floorgasm if not looking at her ;)

[@trene6559]

I second that!

[@TerranigmaQuintet]

But they themselves ARE watching the video. SO they get to enjoy the Floorgasm visually as well, just not putting video in screen for us.

[@ToolFist598]

Nine Inch Nails is another band that is much better live.

[@stevekanakanui7033]

Oh boy ..time for another Floorgasm ....Greatest show on earth Next ..live at Tampere ...you guys are doing awesome ...

[@fraukehammer4624]

I never thought there'd be a couple who loved music as much as we do.

[@trinxikene]

The reason why everyone is asking you to listen the live versions is simple. Floor joined the band in 2012 after they fired the previous singer. And do be fair, she sings everything better than Anette who did 2 albums with them. So because anette is doing the same songs in studio albums while live versions have Floor. And to be fair Nightwish is sooo much better Live! I really love em.

[@trinxikene]

LUCKILY they have 2 live albums!

[@SynthBoy]

There are a few songs Annette do better like scare tale or slow love slow. I think those are songs where she really show her vocal abilities.

[@mikemclaughlin3306]

@@SynthBoy ahh......no

[@hehawseve3560]

@@mikemclaughlin3306 To be fair, Annette is quite talented, her voice just doesn't quite mesh with what most people expect out of Nightwish after Tarja, and now Floor.

[@michaelshort2388]

@@SynthBoy I agree, Scaretale is perfect for Anette's voice. but the rest are better with Floor.

[@davguev]

After you react to The Greatest Show on Earth, I really suggest you to watch the video, because it IS the greatest show on earth, not just musically, but visually too.

[@Gibbetoo]

live at Tampere 2015.

[@stefmixo]

And read/research the lyrics !

[@Gibbetoo]

and if you want to react it without watching video it is perfectly fine, just watch it again when you have time to relax. Lots of visuals going on in that live.

[@trene6559]

My little opinion is that it should be reacted to with video. It is a visual show!

[@randywhite1724]

Nightwish “Greatest Show on Earth” will blow your mind. Many believe it’s their best song. Watch the live performance. Welcome to Nightwish!

[@PersephaYT]

If you guys feel that you're able to enjoy the music more without watching the video, then that is perfectly fine with me. I appreciate you guys trying it out. Looking forward to more Nightwish! Just leaving my suggestion list here: Song of Myself @ Wacken Storytime @ Wacken Romanticide @ Wacken I Want My Tears Back @ Wacken Shudder Before The Beautiful @ Wembly The Greatest Show On Earth @ Tempere

[@trinxikene]

You need to finish the holy trifecta now Ghost Love Score - The Poet and the Pendulum - The Greatest Show on Earth.

[@brunok9311]

I love Storytime and Dark chest of wonder too :()

[@mikelfox1543]

Love this song. Cry every single time.

[@atlanteean]

yes, she's perfect. this was a very interesting reaction, and the idea with the projector is really nice. recommend (all of them live): Song of myself, romanticide, Yours is an empty hope, Greatest show on earth-this is really long-(all with Floor Jansen), Phantom of the Opera, the siren (with Tarja -their first singer)

[@arnaldotanta3630]

nightwish starts in 1996 and the first lead singer was tarja turunnen, they made 5 albuns with her untill 2005 . in 2006 annette olzon the second vocalist enter the band and made 2 albuns untill leave the band in 2012 in the middle of a world tour when tuomas call floor jansen to complete the tour .floor became a full member of the band in 2013 and made only an album with nightwish (the next is released next year ) and i hope she still in the band for many many years .

[@matthewgaines9065]

Amy who??? Lol, Floor is so much more!!! Amy is a great singer, but this lady is insane!! Love the reaction, and Welcome to the family. Nightwish is a total live band!! For you two love birds, try EverDream live at Wacken!! Keep it up, we Nightwish fans appreciate your time and love seeing you fall in love with this band!!

[@ez0950]

Nightwish was far before Evanescence. Sorry but poor Amy is great but she could not hold a candle to our Queen Floor. This song is basically Toumas "keyboard player/Song writer" talking about the condition of the band after the firing of longtime friend and first frontwoman Tarja. He was put into a terrible state of mind and even contemplated suicide. Well, this song is a shout out to poe as well as his outpouring of his emotions at the time. Nightwish was and is his life and he feared it was over.

[@DrillToPierceTheHeavens]

Amy Lee is a Princess. Sharon den Adel is a Queen. Floor Jansen is a Goddess.

[@K9Trooper]

It’s also a shout-out to Stephan King’s Dark Tower. The White Lands of Empathica (Mentioned in the beginning) is the territory just west of the tower.

[@charloacc727]

Tarja is the true queen...

[@ez0950]

@@charloacc727 .... we all have opinions I guess. As a long time fan of the band I could never say I ever felt she was a queen though. A bit of a self absorbed diva toward the end but never a queen

[@stevenmatkovich9587]

Sorry to point this out but Evanescence started in 1995 and Nightwish began in 1996. Both are great in their own way. I love Amy Lees voice but I also love Floors voice. I love great vocals and both do great vocals in their genres. I can listen to both over and over again. I also listen to Stevie Nicks and love her voice, again perfect for the genre of music she sings. They are all perfect for what they do IMHO.

[@evorock]

Damn you Nightwish, every, bloody time!! I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!! Greatest show on earth has to be your next one

[@luiz.A69]

Exactly!!! Listen to this song with closed eyes ... it's fantastic. Nice reaction !!! You got a new follower. More Nightwish next👍👍👍

[@rysser31]

Nightwish started in 1996, and they sort of "started" the whole symphonic metal scene, there were others, but they were the band that sort of took it to the mainstream. they started to get really big in 2003 and 2004 with songs like "ghost love score" and "nemo". Evanescence became big and mainstream with there debute album "fallen" in 2003 and the song "bring me to life". The reason that you know Evanescence better than Nightwish, might be because Evanescence is from the states, and Nightwish is from Finland. I am from Denmark, and i heard of Nightwish before Evanescence. They are both great bands, and you two are really passionate music lovers, Great reactions!

[@warhammer5690]

Nope. Metallicas little deal in Chicago with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 93 planted the seed. Tuomas and company just watered the plant and harvested it. To our delight. Imho best band on the music scene bar none. This current lineup is amazing. I do miss Jukka but Kai fits also so the pain is lessened. Skal

[@brtcchn9953]

I love how you guys stare at each other so passionately

[@timometsanoja9666]

This dude is closing to his 60's... Man he looks good for his age. Nightwish has been around for about 25 years...

Truley believe that you guys are genuine in your reactions and I really enjoy watching you discover the amaaazing Nightwish! Wish I live long enough to find a love that you guys share :)

[@Fedorevsky]

Floor Jansen just got a new species of beetle named after her. A man named Andreas Weigel just discovered a new beetle and named it "Tmesisternus floorjansenae". Floor named the man and the beetle on her facebook page and said it was an honor to have a beautiful animal named after her. She wrote "This fine example of the endless forms most beautiful species on this green planet was discovered last year by Andreas Weigel" and added a photo of the beetle.

[@tomm.8571]

I like your reaction, it's refreshing. I agree to listen to Music with Closed Eyes with one exception Nightwish Live. First, Nightwish is Better Live than Studio, the sound is more powerful and the vocals too, secondly the visual part is very important to me at Nightwish. New sub here. I suggest Nightwish Song of Myself, Romanticide live at Wacken 2013

[@kailindstrom6867]

I was first time In Nightwish concert In 1998

[@arzuagas2]

Thanks for the shout out! Glad you enjoyed the song! I'm sure 50 people have given you the backstory of the song so I'll just say it's a beautiful outpour of Toumas' emotions and for all of that beauty to come from one individual is amazing. Floor compliments his work so well and is amazing as well. Loved the reaction and that you two can FEEL the music, keep it up!!

[@SnakeM98]

I would love for you guys to do Ghost Love Score with that wall-screen idea so you can experience it at its best since u just listened to it on your first reaction! :)

[@TheJama64]

Angry birds and Nightwish, both from Finland ;). I think Nightwish wouldn’t be Nightwish without Tarja Turunen. After she left Anette, not a bad singer, couldn’t carry the band like she should have. When Floor came, she just did it, she delivers perfectly songs that Tuomas (keyboards)writes or have written. You just have give credits to him and the whole band, they work like a clock.

[@darrellwood3913]

TheJama64 You are actually right on your assessment.Nightwish started as a acoustic band but Tarja’s vocals were so powerful they were forced into playing heavier music.

[@fdsannie]

I see ez0950 gave you the background to this song. Tuomas's lyrics are poetic and sometimes hard to figure out. That is why having back ground information can help. Your Nightwish family will be more than happy to help...... :-) Nightwish started in 1996. They were one of the beginning symphonic metal bands. I warned you about Nightwish fans. I kinda like the "Pain in the Ask(ers)" nickname for us. It is funny even though deep down inside you really feel that way about us........lol Thanks for playing another Nightwish. I am aware that what you do takes a lot of your time. I do appreciate it.

[@jpturner9452]

[@robertsimmons3336]

Excellent choice!!! Steve Vai - For the Love of God live with orchestra just trying to be a pain in the Ask!! And yes Yngwie Malmsteen is also another must! Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Yngwie did a tour together called G3 you talk about a night of awesome guitar!

[@soundocean3765]

Before watching this I commented on your Ghost Love Score reaction, talking about how I like it when you "only listen to it" at the first time, and talked a lot about The Greatest Show On Earth. First of all: I'd say, if you prefer listening to music without watching, stick with it no matter what others are saying. It's also good as it makes your reactions special. There are so many (especially Nightwish) reactions out there and yours (GLS) is the only one I found (SO FAR) with reactors only listening. I thought it was nice and interesting BECAUSE it was different from all the others. Second, back to TGSOE: Maybe you should do both: Listen to it (as mentioned in the comment before: album version) AND watch the live video from Tampere. The order in which you check these out should be depending on what your focus is, as the album version sure has many more musical details. On the other hand, in the live version still is SO MUCH GOING on, even though one CAN get disappointed because of the missing details at first, while then getting overwhelmed by all the visual details it delivers. In addition to all this, if you found the visuals of TPATP distracting, the visuals of TGSOE would probably blow your mind in a negative way. The song itself has SO much going on already both in music and lyrics that I'm pretty sure the video would be too much for you for the first time getting to know this song. So, maybe for you the following order might be a good choice when it comes to TGSOE: 1. checking out lyrics including some research (as mentioned) 2. only listening to the album version (absorbing all the music, maybe thinking about how it goes along with the lyrics) 3. watching the live video (for the final mindblow in a GOOD way ;D) Maybe it wouldn't even be a problem if you made a double-reaction (depending on how long your video uploads can be, haha). Counting your comments in, it would easily take more than 1 hour of your (and our) lives, but noone would ever have to regret it and most Nightwish fans are never getting tired of this song so everyone would probably still love to watch it! ;D

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Wow and wow. More soon....

[@damienmaynard8892]

Marco's beard - interesting first comment! Floor is 6ft 1in - make sure the size is right for Kel's outfit! Tuomas put his heart and soul into this work. The Greatest Show on Earth is as much about his origins as it is about Evolution of Life on Earth. Every Nightwish song has a thought inside which, when recognised, makes it a Masterpiece. Good call about playing eyes-closed, Kel! Ditto!

[@vaughnweber0929]

Kel just said "aboot"! I love it!

[@xxsydcharlie]

[@NicholasIstre]

honestly, I think it would be interesting to have you watch with the projector in the dark, maybe with a soft light or even just the projected image lighting you up. I'd say to experiment with that for a few videos. Glad to see more people discovering the epicness that is: Nightwish. And with you watching this and Phantom of the Opera, you got to hear Marco's singing. He's the bassist, and his singing is often underrated in the band; he sings lead on a few Nightwish songs, I'd recommend watching The Islander, live version, of course... ;)

[@fredericleclerc9037]

IF you want to hear Marko... Go for the song While her lips are still red... damn... this song can't get out of my head :P

@@fredericleclerc9037 that's a good I've too, though I might also suggest Marco and Floor singing Ave Maria too. Just close your eyes while you listen to two metal singers perform..

[@kristiansavov6528]

Evanescence is Ford Fiesta. Nightwish is Mercedes S-klasse. That's the true!

[@wardeni4806]

Nightwish was formed in 1996, and is actually the most internationally successful Finnish band in existence, and also the first Finnish band to ever headline at the Wembley Arena in London. This particular song is also a bit dark, because Tuomas (their main songwriter) was in a very dark mental state while writing the album. The reason is that they had to fire their first singer before the album, who was also Tuomas' friend since school. So the whole firing business also destroyed their friendship, and to top it off they were worried that the band wouldn't find a suitable singer and might collapse. The album also contains songs that the band says "will never be played live" due to those same reasons.

[@Rancid-Jane]

You two are so charming.

[@pmasher]

Your volume seems to be a bit on the low side.

[@theterranian8039]

"a bit on the low side" is the understatement of the year. I couldn't hear anything of the song at all.

[@jamiecole5433]

The Terranian turn up your volume, not that hard

[@theterranian8039]

@Jamie Cole: You jokester! I didn't come down in yesterday's rain. My volume's up to the limit. If Pumpkin_Masher says: "Your volume seems to be a bit on the low side." -- a comment 4 months ago to which I originally answered --, then I'm certainly not the only one who thinks the volume of this reaction vid is too low.

[@jamiecole5433]

The Terranian mine was completely fine once the volume was turned up so it’s either you are partially deaf or just want to cause an argument

[@theterranian8039]

@Jamie Cole: Did somebody eat out of your dog bowl, or what? I clearly said there was at least one other guy who had trouble with the volume, too, but you chose to ignore this. Or are you partially blind? Got trouble with letters? They're usually the black scribble on the white ground. Could be easily mistaken for flyspeck, but actually say something. And if I had wanted to cause an argument, I would have told you, for sure. I have seen quite a few of Kel-n-Rich's fine reaction vids plus multiple more by other reactors -- and sometimes modern day technology has its irks and quirks and is full of pitfalls. That's life. Wisecracking remarks like "turn up your volume, not that hard" are simply unnecessary. But I keep being kind to you because I have a nephew by the name of Cole.

[@tuomio74]

Another pain in the asker here: Please react to Poets Of The Fall. If with video: Carneval of Rust or Cradled In Love. IF no video: Where Do we Draw The Line or Temple of Thought (Unplugged Studio Live) ....all highly recomended tho

[@iTrouble]

The reason why you should watch the videos while listening to the music is because Floor is not only singing, she is performing, she is overwhelming and pushing the crowd just by her stage presence and emotions she is showing during singing. Same applies to the rest of the band, Tuomas during poet and the pendulum is truely showing his feelings he had when writing and performing this song. Nightwish is not a one trick pony, they are a whole package, great musicians, perfect performer and a great show wrapped around it. The experience is just complete watching and listening to their songs. Nightwish fan here since the first album from Germany, greetings everybody.

[@robertwhitham5109]

The original singer Tarja was from 1996 to 2005, second singer Annette Olsen 2007 to 2012, Current singer Floor Jansen 2013 to now but has toured with them since 2012. First album was Angels Fall First 1997. Evanescence first album Fallen (similar title) in 2003. Enjoy the info. Later

[@Tirryna]

Evanescence started about 1998 in the USA...but they didn't get big till 2002. Nightwish started 1995, but in Finland. Not even sure they knew of each other Until the 2000's. Floor and Amy (both born in '81) is only a few months age wise, but Floor was with in Holland with her band After Forever until 2010. She met Nightwish in '02 when they toured together when Tarja was in Nightwish. Fast forward to 2012 (and 2 Nightwish singers), Floor was only meant to finish the tour when they feel out with their 2nd singer, Annette...but towards the end of the tour, it was decided, Floor was the new singer

[@bigdodge65]

Nightwish have just completed a world decades tour to celebrate 20 years plus in the industry before evenescence Floor Jansen the vocalist at the present is awesome and the maestro behind them all is tuomas ( keyboard played) is a musical genius. Ive been into them for a while but had the chance last year to see them live in concert and was a visual audible sensory masterpiece

[@TheSoberwolf]

The thing about Nightwish now, is that the live versions after 2013 have Floor Jansen but the studio versions prior to have first Tarja who is almost pure operatic sopran then you have Annette who is chest voice mostly. Then there is the latest album from 2015 that is spesificly written for Floor and I think is some og Tomases best music, and I would love to see your reaction to Gratest show on earth or yours is an empty hope from that album and yes the live versions :D

[@timomastosalo]

Thank god for reaction videos or I wouldn’t have found Nightwish last year. Can’t wait to see them in the states. Hope they tour again soon. I think if your going to react to NW, it has to be to a video/live video. Amazing sound has to be accompanied but amazing visuals.

[@Erkki146]

Could you increase the (sound) volume of your videos?

[@The_Pony]

I seriously think you need to hear Passion and the Opera I believe you'll both be able to appreciate Tarja, the Original singer's classicaly trained opera vocals. and no. Nightwish was way before Evanescence. Just not so big in America... symphonic was way underground for America around the time I "found" NW in 2000-2001 edit: oh my you need to watch the DVDs on the projector! WOU THAT WOULD BE PRETTY EPIC and you will never think itd be sucky. You could use a low light and live stream. If you are in Florida, I am in Tampa area.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Don't mind me. I'm just passing through in my quest to see all reactions to Nightwish (NW) there are in YT. Ann W. & her fellow fans will keep you informed & busy with NW for sure. Just in case, I must tell you that NW (a Finnish band) released their first album in 1997, whereas Evanescence (U.S.) did theirs in 2003. Even their first EP (1998) was released a year after NW had already released their first full-length album. However, since the U.S. is so vastly bigger & more influential in the music industry, you discovered Evanescence first, but I and probably also most Finns & even Europeans NW. I also like Evanescence, but NW even more. P.S. I already subscribed after "Ghost Love Score" reaction. P.S.S: Kudos for using quality over the ear headphones. Also, whatever works for you, is fine by me.

[@Piia2023]

Found you reacting to Nightwish. Really like your reactions, Nightwish is always a safe card to react too :) only good and epic songs. Volume could be a little higher...but from all their epic songs Song Of Myself from Wacken and Creek Mary's Blood from the End Of An Era concert with Tarja. Keep up with Nightwish 🤘

[@christomashofski9160]

I can add perhaps a little more insight to the origin of that term "Floorgasm." It isn't what you think: It was coined by a writer for a metal webzine after the 2012 concert in Seattle where Floor first appeared on stage with them to rescue the endangered world tour after the 2nd singer left abruptly. If anyone loved the 1st singer, Tarja, more than Tuomas it was the fans. She was deeply loved by all and viewed as an irreplaceable angel because of the magical chemistry between her and the band that burst forth on stage whenever they appeared. With her suddenly gone, millions of fans were heartbroken as badly as Tuomas. Annette, her replacement, was (and is) a fantastically talented singer with a beautiful voice... in the studio. But on stage her style just did not blend right with the band and, although the two studio albums with Annette are arguably Nightwish's best two albums, the live performances lacked that magical chemistry and fell flat with the old time Tarja fans. Although they continued to love Nightwish there was always this tension and anxiety and pain at the loss of their beloved Tarja and that missing magical spell her presence in the band cast over audiences. When it was announced that Floor would be replacing Annette mid-tour, she was a relative unknown to so many Nightwish fans and the replacement was met with hopeful trepidation. Floor herself admitted in an interview much later that she too was "scared shitless" about whether fans would accept her. But when she stepped out on that Seattle stage and opened her mouth, it became instantly clear that the magic was back! Floor brought back the magic! She had that chemistry with the rest of the band that had been missing. That 2012 audience in Seattle became the bellwether in measuring that tension which had built for the 7 Annette years. It came to a head when Floor performed that beautiful, signature Nightwish epic, Ghost Love Score, with which Tarja was so closely identified, and took it to a whole new level of greatness by adding her own signature ending far beyond anything Tarja ever did. When she hit that incredible refrain at the end which no one in the audience was expecting (and she pulled it off with absolute perfection) the mass response was a spontaneous release of those 7 years of tension as a sudden outpouring of emotion, love, and respect that exceeded even that Tarja had earned. That outpouring was also the moment that Floor realized she had done it.... she had won the audience's acceptance as a fixture in Nightwish. I'm sure she felt the spontaneous release also, as it was pretty clear she had a hard time fighting back tears of happiness. It was one of those watershed moments in music history that happens once in a lifetime. It is quite something to hear and see if you have the chance. The webzine writer likened that spontaneous mass release of tension to a mass orgasm by coining that term, and apparently the fanbase has agreed with that allegory. I'll bet that Floor doesn't mind the term at all because it is clear that it represents an "orgasm" of professional respect for her extraordinary talent and not anything regarding prurient interests.

[@ioanniskostoulas4448]

No Nightwish has nothing to do with Evanescence. They are older and different. Evanescense is more mainstream.

[@ThePtrrr]

subscribed! a new pain in the ask for you! Romanticide, Wacken 2013, and after that, The greatest show on earth, live, Tampere. The last one you have to watch every now and then, otherwise you will miss some visual parts, and never understand where these sounds came from....😉 I totally understand why you close your eyes while listening music, do that often myself. And of course, welcome to the Nightwish family, glad you found what jou were looking for, for so long!

Edit: it is a bit saddening that people cant just let you enjoy the music in the best way for your most incredible and personal experience :'( Re-edit: I guess it's important to note, the songwriter, Tuomas (keyboards) composed this (as he does most of the stories and songs) as a manner of killing himself so that he did not have to in real life, after losing the original singer, Tarja (who is since gone solo and does many NW covers and Arias as well as her own material ) whom he fired via an open letter, replaced with Anette Olson who has now since been replaced with Floor (Hopefully this is the last singer switch, I cant take another one. ugh. heartache.)

PONY of the VILLAGE hi Pony! Like you,I was one of the original V&S subscribers.I prefer Rich-n-Kel now since I can’t stand Vin’s ego any longer.Enjoy!

[@The_Pony]

@@darrellwood3913 sorry about that friend. I'm kinda very much neutral like switzerland. I enjoy everyone

[@darrellwood3913]

PONY of the VILLAGE lol,absolutely! I know you are loyal to V&S but I’m not going to be a jerk to you because I don’t like Vin. We are both here to enjoy the music we love with other people.Nothing but love to you!

[@pmasher]

I've watched some V&S but I've been steering clear lately. Vin can be VERY close minded.

[@darrellwood3913]

Pumpkin_Masher I agree.I’m to the point where I can’t tolerate his cockiness.I only watch their Maiden reactions because I’m a Maiden freak..lol

[@marcbaur677]

And now its time for another incredible dutch female Singer: Simone Simons, together with Floor Jansen from Nightwish. So please react to: Epica - Sancta Terra feat Floor Jansen Live Retrospect Show Regards from Germany 🙂

[@jmetallover]

Oh yeah!! They will love that duet but again without the video the band, choir and symphony effect will be lost at least in my mind. But those angels harmonizing will choke them both up I bet.

[@Songfugel]

While Evanescence was technically formed a year before Nightwish in 1995, they didn't make an album before 2003, 6 years after Nightwish who started in 1996. I really really loved the reaction and the affection you have for each other. My greatest wish is to someday find someone I could experience music in the same way

[@ralfdippner]

Yeeeeesssss ; Nightwish - Emotion pur 😀🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😎Sooo good

[@maxbizkit81]

Your head to head makes me cry befor Floor begans to sing....

We are moved beyond repair.

@@Kel.N.RichReactions keep it, i love you

[@alexojeda9048]

You should check out Floor's 2 earlier bands After Forever and ReVamp. Also checkout Epica, Within Temptation and Lacuna Coil; all bands with great female singers.

[@paulgourdie]

If u 2 get time go an see nightwish live awesome live floor Jensen is a godness

[@iirockstar23562]

First album out in 1997 by Nightwish. 2003 by the other band..

[@TerranigmaQuintet]

Evanscence put out EPs though, not the same I know. And they switched genres to what they became famous for.

[@georgerexford9768]

Miss Floor Jansen voice has brought tears to many men and yes the ladies too. That's why she is a metal goddess.

[@iirockstar23562]

Nightwish songs.. before hearing the song, you should do a little research lyrics.. etc (you should hav done it in "poet" you'll get so much more out of the song... and MY Favorite the MASTERPIECE: "The Greatest show on Earth" live in Tampere, Finland. Heres a little insights: it's over 20mins long and hav devided in 5 different parts. First one called "four point six" meaning billions years ago. It travels through planet forming, stars... water, plants, dinos, all the way to the present time. So its a about evolution on earth. Truly the greatest show on earth. We are just to close to see it and understand it. But this one helps :) btw checking out the lyrics before video helps. Theres a part "We were here" Goosebumps everytime... And talking about the Song itself. Truly a Masterpiece from the Mastermind himself Mr. Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards). Everyone should see and hear this masterpiece. Been in concerts: Metallica, GNR, Maiden, Mötley, U2, Bon Jovi.. etc.. (and now Nightwish) i never thought that the band whos Really got something to say i found it here in my own country. Kiitos (thank you) Tuomas :) Check it out all the way to the ending credits and thank me later.

TGSOE goes all the way end of mankind.

[@Albatrossi]

Wow, I didn't know Stephen Colbert does reaction videos. 😜

[@Johan.Ar18]

Only I miss watching the video in the reaction, especially when it's live: c

[@friarjon7948]

You two are adorable... and a concert with both Evanescence AND Lindsay Sterling?! That would've been amazing. Since you've already heard "Ghost Love Score" and now "Poet and the Pendulum" the next stop on the tour is "The Greatest Show on Earth". Nightwish are such amazing performers, it's part of the reason the live versions are so favored... and since you've boarded the Symphonic Metal reaction tour bus you can also expect folks to request "Cry for the Moon" by Epica, "Pisces" by Jinjer, and "Awakening" by Unleash the Archers :D ... EDIT: though "Pisces" is not Symphonic Metal it is one of the best reaction worthy metal songs around LOL

[@julienichols5333]

Sham-wow between the legs at the concert...that's a new one. Love it!

[@julienichols5333]

Also, a lot of the live performance requests are because fans want to see you react to Floor, and she didn't do the studio versions of some of the more popular songs. :) Floor is the 3rd lead singer for Nightwish.

[@timomastosalo]

Thank you for paining the asking.

[@ludovicm.1848]

Yes Kel, perfect she is.

[@antiherognome6703]

Well it seems I've been on a Kel-n-Rich binge for hours now, your reactions are great, listening to all the great songs by my favorite bands. I am personally 2 weeks away from the Dream Theatre concert which I am seeing with my wife and my oldest son. I do have a request, please react to The Great Escape by Seventh Wonder

[@jarisavolainen603]

Thank you for your reaction. For you two cute lovebirds please react to Kiss while your lips are still red by Nightwish live from wembley

[@Unkyp]

Hats off ! \m/ Musics on \m/

Nightwish-The greatest show on earth-Tampere. Period.

[@KierenP]

Wonderful boy soprano at the beginning

[@fraukehammer4624]

You must be a very happy couple just as I am happily married for 35 years and like you my wife and I love the same music. And when we hear that song, we both run into tears.

[@davidmachado11]

You're two are adorable!! I really like your reactions... Please react to Moonspell - Medusalem

[@brandonshambaugh6640]

Diva Plavalaguna!! No shit dude, the first time I saw/heard this I thought the same thing! She sounds like the opera chick from The Fifth Element! Hahahahaha

[@daveangels]

They might have to check out Dimash Diva Dance

[@johannessilver8653]

Go to see Nightwish in a concert and then you are in heaven. They pioneered this genre (no copy) since 1996 and are top during the time since. Tuomas is a genius and founded this all. But note that his masterpieces are challenging and not necessary open easily. To understand this one properly one needs to do research quite much.

[@mdudley52]

Nightwish just in a lane of their own.Floor is the Queen.

[@K9Trooper]

I was waiting for your reaction on the second “poem” where you said it took a left turn. It was great to see it shake you a bit. You should research the meaning of the song. It will make more sense. Nightwish and Evanescence came out around the same time 95/96 but Nightwish was popular before them by about 3 or 4 years. So you listened to Floor, their current singer and Tarja, their original. You need to listen to Annette, who replaced Tarja. I would recommend Amaranth and do the official video. I’ve been blessed to see all 3 singers and have to say, Annette was not the greatest live performer but she was great in studio. Amaranth is my favorite from her era. Ha! I’m the first like to a video! First time ever ;)

[@exoticmaniac3024]

Yes definitely Amaranth, or perhaps Scaretale live.

[@maxbizkit81]

Ah, äh, uhm, i just watched till 10:30, had so many in my head to comment, but you killd it. Great reaction! Your wife is so nicely into it, the feelings. WOW
