Nightwish REACTION - Song of Myself

Sorry guys, we had an error in the 1st version of this! Fixed! This is our 2nd Nightwish reaction and we're loving it!

[@andrewbennefield529]

They perform with honesty and talent and a love for music. They aren't trying to say love symphonic metal. They are saying love music with a soul.

[@williammceuen8730]

Floor can sing ANYTHING! Guys, she could sing twinkle twinkle little star and I would cry like a babe. She is a soul shaker.

[@seandaugherty6359]

Nightwish! Subscribed! The more with Floor the better! Thanks dudes

[@Shads62]

Floor sings with her whole body even her eyes. Look closely

[@johncheek2415]

The drummer is Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer in the Wacken videos, he is an original member since 1996. In 2015 he disclosed he would be stepping down from the recording and touring for the upcoming album he was replaced by his close friend and hand picked successor Kai Hiato Two weeks ago in a press statement, he offically turned the job over to Kai, but he is still in the band handling the day to day business part of the band.

[@MrGeneration83]

I am a simple man. I see nightwish reaction. I upvote.

[@marijanaprica7041]

You're gonna hear a lot of stuff there... Metal, rock, symphony, jazz, gospel, folk, circus sound with "Tom Waits" moments, enchanted melodies, another 2 beautiful vocals throughout Nightwish history, and everything just fits like a glove... Unbelievable, but true. And a "certain number" of VERY loyal fans 😁

[@richardgoddard37]

Welcome to the Nightwish family. You're in for a Hell of a ride now. You've not seen the 6th member (Troy) yet, and if you love a Celtic influence then prepared to be blown away by him too.

[@AlexandreMS71]

you can see in their faces ... they are having a hell lot of fun, smilling all the time. That is amazing.

[@teegar100]

Marco on the bass and vocals.The viking looking guy :)

[@jiraiyardcv]

You Guys Need to hear The Poet and the Pendulum live at wembley 2016 Nightwish is a great experience!! Trust me!!

[@berndschuster1547]

Thanks for the good music all time! Wacken again is near Hamburg/Germany. And 2022 sold out with 80.000 Metal-Fans.

[@josejesuscontrerassalazar9140]

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this video. Floor looks so powerful and majestic at 5:21

[@ulla700]

Hahaa:) I am also a member of a grazy Nightwish fanflub! Have seen them many times live because I am from Finland. But I really loooooooove your reactions! More of these please :) :)

[@glenkelley6799]

Greatest Viking music ever. That organ was from the UK, they had to cut off the pipes to get on the boat. Floor is one of the Valkyries. All concerts need more fire.

[@Youthanasia72]

Boom! There's no turning back now 😁

[@PeeVee1979]

I often say that Marco, the bassist is an Official Metal Voice of Finland. So check out High Hopes by Nightwish. Their cover of a Pink Floyd song. Phanton of the Opera with their original singer Tarja Turunen.

[@sovex9331]

The Islander is a great song as well. He has a really sweet and heavy voice :)

[@PeeVee1979]

@@sovex9331 True. Amazing song as well.

[@Neocoolzero]

Sooooo much this, all this songs are awesome :)

[@carstenribbecke3272]

"Original singer Tarja Turunen"? She was just the first one ;-)

[@jazzx251]

Pink Floyd? I knew it. The "concept" or "progressive rock" band was supposed to be a thing of the past. Not any more :)

[@bottivision]

Oh yes, its a epic song. I think 99% from nightwish is epic. Hehe. And Wacken 13 was a awesome concert. Holy moly. Thx.

[@artcaz7265]

"Everdream " wacken 2013..."storytime" same concert..."last ride of the day" same concert too..then we get to the ery serious things after that ;)

[@Diavolo222]

Like a fucking level-up system

[@melindahearld1470]

"Seven days to the wolves" Wembley. Really enjoying your reactions. Thanks guys, from KY Poet Girl

[@marinaandersson4381]

Great reaction! "I want my tears back", please!!

[@rottingmoose33]

You HAVE TO do Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth (Live Tampere) epic 20min song about life and evolution.

[@sonoranreptile]

Hell yes!!! One of my favorites by them! Welcome to the Nightwish train bruthas!!!

[@sonoranreptile]

Subscribed!!!!!!!

[@SuperThaidave]

i love your guys reactions and appreciation. Keep on rockin. Peace.

[@sjokken1]

Your reactions are awsome👍😁 For the most powerful and heartbreaking song: the poet and the pendulum live at wembley. That song require some background check before your reaction. In short this song is Tuomas(their composer on keyboard) suicide. He got so depressed after kicking their first singer (Tarja) out of the band. The fans hated him for it. He spills all his emotions out in this song. They avoid doing it live because its so hard for him. In this performance you see him singing into the sky and emppu(on guitar) and Marco(on bass) going over to him to support him. That performance tears me up every time😪😍

[@nikohietala3898]

Loved this reaction 🤘😍

[@Green-Lyon]

Before discovering Nightwish, YES was my unquestioned favorite band. Since then they have had some stiff competition. I just adore this band. Both bands have lyrics that are pure poetry, fantastic vocal harmonies and exquisite musicianship.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Thank you for another good reaction to this amazing band : ). For the celtic flavor try "I want my tears back". Troy plays the Uilleann pipes

[@georgerexford9768]

Great reaction Brian & Stan. Nightwish has so many great songs, and the large Nightwish family will introduce them to you. Get ready for lots of requests. This band is beyond talented.

[@dejannightwish]

Next Romanticide Live Wacken 2013,great reaction 😊😊

[@nikohietala3898]

Yes!

[@taboov6777]

And please not the slowed down version

[@darkshadow139]

Marco is the bassist, and he has a great voice as well. He sings solo on the song Master, passion, creed, and is the main vocalist on the song The Islander. The live version at tampere is the best. Also the Islander has a celtic flvor to it as you put it. :)

[@ricklong4218]

Floor-Fan..tastic reaction. Looking forward to more from you guys.

[@banderezztonylapore9493]

Hope to be seeing more of you guys... 👍👍👍

[@JS-bg3jw]

For something really heavy e.g. Romantice (Wacken 2013) For Celtic especially Elan (can be the official music video) and Marco singing The Islander (Tampere 2015) For Marco's voice: While your lips are still red (Wembley) Floor growling: Yours is an empty hope (Baltic Sea Cruise Live) For a beautiful ballad: Sleeping Sun (Tampere 2015) And the two long epic ones: Poet and Pendulum (Wembley 2016) and Greates show on earth (Tampere 2015)

[@themadmagi]

Told you nightwish would bring in the throngs! Any song from this concert is gold! I highly recommend Romanticide. Still also recommend the Warning which is 3 sisters 13,16,19 who write their own rock music - recommend dust to dust live at lunereo. Keep the vids coming!

[@themadmagi]

and Marco is the Base player. His cover of Pink Floyd's High Hopes is legendary. He also has his own album which is in Finish, the song is a beautiful song: isäni ääni.

[@tommyechoes3520]

How much work it takes to be a band, the coordination and everything in Nightwish is amazing. Who most take for granted. Like every other rock and metal band theese days right...What happened to real work and performance? Dont tell me how much of a genious DJ is compared to what? yeah just another DJ. Apritiation for the music and the details makes it distinct. AND ITS GOD DAMN FINNISH!

[@Jklak100]

Heh hee, you two just stepped into the rabbit hole. If and when you respond more to Nightwish's music, you will find that there is a tremendous amount of top level production that nevertheless takes advantage of the nuances of different genres. You done good reaction and proper comments, thanks for that. Continue on this path now, please... 👍 😊

[@krakon6565]

Great reactions Gents! Celtic eh? Nightwish "My Walden" Live at Tampere is Celtic. PEACE

[@jakoblander5318]

Thanks guys! Appreciate what you are doing :)

[@Vipppala]

Ever Dream @ wacken 2013 ! :)

[@topographic1973ify]

Brandon, thanks for mentioning Yes. I've been a huge Yesfan since the early seventies and the band still goes on in it's current form. I hope you got to see them live. An incredible live band.

[@BigCrockDawg]

Storytime please! Love seeing your reactions guys, much appreciated :)

[@poncandn1]

Perfect second song choice! Nightwish can do more than just grow on you. They have basically become a part of my life now, they are my theme band. January of this year I turned 50, newly discovered narcissist husband of 22 years divorces me and I heard Ghost Love Score for the first time. They are literally helping me get through this difficult season of my life.

[@torbenjohansen6955]

If you want Marco singing a bit more and some celtic tones. Than you should do a reaction to. I want my tears back. LIVE from wembly 2015. if you want Marco in the lead. React to. While your lips are still red. also Wembly 2015. Or try The Islander from Tampere 2015 ( i gave your first upload a like to ) for more Celtic influence try My Walden or Elan both from Wembly 2015.

[@bondomu]

Great reaction my dudes 🤘🏻 I highly recommend checking out “I Want My Tears Back” live at Wacken 2013. It has the Celtic vibe and is just an all around great time with awesome energy. I think you guys would really enjoy it. Plus it showcases a lot more members of the band. I’m looking forward to see what you guys will bring in the future.

[@roberttangstad9792]

Nightwish - i want my tears back(live at wacken) they're most celctic song i think

[@johncheek2415]

My Walden, is really celtic music

[@jimharris367]

Romanticide from Wacken next, or maybe Dark Chest of Wonders 🤘

[@HellStr82]

Look you two need to get your arse to the 2020 concert in the Netherlands...then you will understand. Love your reactions

[@bibi-ki1nx]

Great reaction, you said you liked the Celtic vibe, try (I want my Tears Back ) I think it is this concert, Glad to have found your channel.

[@stefanbenta3780]

You guys need to watch "The greatest show on earth " live on Tempere , . I'm sure you never see something like that, it's a masterpiece,

[@MY-se1jf]

Should be Tampere. Tempere is a typo.

[@karlossvazquezz1611]

Next song last ride of the day !!!!!!!!!!!!!! POWERRRR

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

Ah, I was like...I'm having a serious case of Deja Vu here. 😂😂 Cya in the next one! 🍓🤘👍💯

[@ronaldguidry2256]

Last Ride of the Day from Wacken 2013 Poet and the Pendulum from Wembley

[@jackstorm5649]

The Bassist is Marco Hietala or as I like to call him the metal Viking. He sings on about 1/3 of Nightwish's songs and is often underappreciated because he is not the lead but the man is a awesome singer in his own right. If you want more of him I would probably recommend Phantom of the Opera from the End of an Era tour. You should probably listen to this song before you listen to The Poet and the Pendulum any way. Other recommendations for more Marco Wish I had an Angel also from End of an Era, The Islander from the Tampere show, and Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red from the Wembly show.

[@floorjansenslover2690]

Great reaction to the greatest live band in the world. Would love to see you react to the nightwish song 7 days to the wolves live at Wembley

[@sjokken1]

Indeed 👍

[@TremereTT]

Greatest live band?

[@dhaxgaming4488]

great reaction guys, welcome to the Nightwish fandom ;)

[@Raven-fh2yy]

If you want the Celtic flavor try "Over the Hills and Far Away" with Tarja... the music video version... it's an extremely old song metalled up by the genius of Nightwish

[@saltuidedste5435]

Great reaction . Really enjoyed 🤘😉 Next try shudder before the beautiful live at Wembley And poet and the pendulum live at wembley

[@mnjk1558]

You should check out Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars (live rehearsals at sonic pump studios). This band is epic as hell.

[@hansevers3671]

This why Nightwish has somany fans arround the world. You have look at other great Symphonic Metal singers and a lot of them are Dutch. Floor Jansen, Sharon den Andel, Simone Simons, Annele van Giersbergen. The bands are awsome to After Forever, Within Temptation, Epica, Avenagence. I hope you enjoy with this powerfull lady's.

[@Kittylord]

Best part of the video was when Brian mentioned how he was a fan of Progressive Rock bands like Yes, and then moments later, he saw the odd time signature 5-3-5-3-5-3-7 song ending and couldn't help but laugh.

[@oliphant2848]

Romanticide from this concert would be a good choice for your next reaction, or Ghost River. Both feature great duets by Floor and Marco. The opener to this concert is also worth a suggestion. Relatively short but engaging, melodic, and of course epic: Dark Chest of Wonders. If you'd like to hear more Floor vocal gymnastics from this concert (no opera voice, just fantastic singing), try the 80s love power pop song Ever Dream from this concert. If you want to hear (and see) her go all out metal (and pay attention to what goes on in the chorus!), try Yours Is An Empty Hope from the Nightwish Cruise. Parental Guidance Advised: Here Be a Dragon.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Do the opener of this concert: Dark Chest of Wonders -- the most epic song and light show to open a concert I've ever seen. You guys are in for one hell of a ride! Great reaction!

[@Saje3D]

Yes, I too really enjoy the elements reminding me of progressive rock bands of yesteryear. It’s one of the things that still sets Nightwish apart from other symphonic bands. Within Temptation, Epica, and Kamelot being notable exceptions, as all three bands adopt similar elements in various pieces. Whyzdom, a French band, really plays up the symphonic elements while Nightwish has recently trended down more folkish trails. Thing is, I’m not sure Floor can go wrong. Even my least favorite Nightwish songs are good with her on vocals. I wasn’t thrilled with that last album until I actually listened to it. I think you might appreciate the whispered memories of Jethro Tull the songs might evoke. I love how they follow the muse and dare us to follow. I’m following.

[@bambesfresser]

Fantastic choice that I haven't seen much reacted to. Needless to say "The Poet and the Pendulum" is up. Also the "Phantom of the Opera" with Tarja needs to be revisited.

[@seibers8753]

What a great start for the day.. B and S Nightwish reaction!

[@Imperftection]

You did all these songs and I can't believe you haven't done "Poet and Pendulum" as well. This is so interesting. Please do so. this song is one of the their bests

[@Neocoolzero]

I love to see people reaction when they hear Marco for the first time haha

[@TTK2013]

Nightwish kicks all the time over the musical genre borders and is always better on stage than studio (Sure studio records are great but missing a lot if no seeing band playing and Floor (And Marco too) singing. Floor is really stage beast... If looking for example rock/Celtic combination from Nightwish, "I want my tears back" would be good choice to start (Example from London Wembley live). Bagpipe and guitar together is not bad, not at all. "My Walden" (Example from Tampere live pro audio/video) goes to same gategory.

[@sjokken1]

Indeed😄 only one song that they should listen to the studio versjon of. Our decades in the Sun. Lovely song dedicated to their parents that havn't yet been performed live. Hope they do that Next year on their tour😍

[@xenophon343]

Great reaction! One of my favorites by them.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Hopefully you'll enjoy your ride on the Nightwish train to ecstasy for many more live perfromances from their shows at Wacken Open Air 2013 in Germany, Tampere Ratina Stadion in Finland 2015 & Wembley Arena 2015, London UK. Unfortunately there are no official live videos from their Wacken Open Air & Bloodstock 2018 shows on KZbin yet, so the sound quality of the videos from those 2018 shows is somewhat poorer. For Celtic flavor I'd go for: Nightwish - My Walden (Live - Tampere) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGm7qKVnoLl4ms0 and/or the purely instrumental "Nightwish-Last Of The Wilds" kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioevi6OmfbGKfJY from WOA 2013 during which Floor went backstage to change her outfit.

[@jc4566]

Endless forms most beautiful lyrical video. Floor Jansen. Awesome. Nuclear blast production. ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡😄😄😄😄😄

[@02bugeye8]

Try Nightwish- Seven days to the Wolves live at Wembley

[@bobheslop8039]

Welcome to Nightwish Family enjoy the ride guys :-)

[@vir3999]

At least one of you knew the end already. Next one Romanticide same concert, please

[@TheBandSShow]

Nope first time reaction for both of us! Thanks for the suggestion, that one keeps coming up!

[@xxxellaa]

Please you have to react to The Poet and The Pendulum as well. A true work of art, an incredibly emotional song. You've probably been told a million times but keep in mind Tuomas (the synthesizer) does almost all the music and lyrics alone. His talent is indescribable really. They're all talented and they make together what Nightwish is, it's just quite phenomenal what Tuomas can do. He wrote the poet and the pendulum about the time when he had to fire Tarja their first singer and about the pain he went through back then. I've seen written somewhere that Tuomas wrote the song instead of killing himself. Don't have a source for that so don't know if it's true but it really gives you an image of how deep and difficult of a song it is. Hope you'll react to it soon

[@bazzingabomb]

Great job guys

[@flavio_spqr]

Welcome to Nightwish! Oh boy, are you guys in for a ride! Subd!

[@ricklarsen7189]

If you guys are going to get caught up with Nightwish ya’ best get started. They started in 1996 and a lot of their older stuff is no less epic. Their first vocalist Tarja Turunen is also a force of nature. She could sing a phone book and half the world would melt at her feet. Marko, the bassist, also has some solo albums. Floor has brought new energy to the band. Toumass has written new songs to let her talents loose. They will release a new album and tour next year. I’m looking forward to your reactions. Liked & subbed.

[@parambirsingh1321]

Heavy metal songs can't cause goosebumps! Nighwish / Floor: hold my beer!

[@TheDarthSoldier]

Definitely gotta watch Nightwish's new single "Noise"

[@johngialluca6025]

Yeah. You guys are just starting out. 😉. For Celtic sounding stuff check out Seven Days to the Wolves (you’ll really see the depth of this band) and My Walden. Both of those were from the Wembley Arena show. You guys really need to check out Poet and the Pendulum. Pause on that one to avoid copyright strikes. Storytime is an upbeat song that sounds more mainstream. If you want to hear Marco sing more check out the Islander live at Tempere and While Your Lips are Still Red also live at Tempere. Hell, their whole damn catalog is amazing. Glad you guys are enjoying NW and welcome to the Fam.

[@brunovicente4324]

Very nice! All the songs are listed by now but i woulg go Romanticide and Ghost River in this show , Phantom of the Opera woth former singer Tarja End of an Show and then if you have the courage Poet and the Pendulum Wembley and The Greatest Show on Earth in Tampere

[@fdsannie]

I missed this one......... You two are definitely hooked! lol This is my favorite Nightwish song. :-) They are playing in front of 82,000 people!!!!

[@jerejaatinen7820]

I know Im late, but listen to this band live. Listen to Ghost Love Score, Romanticide, The Poet and the Pendulum and such. This band is as good live as in studio, and that is rare as fuck.

[@sterlingknight8087]

[@corneliusantonius3108]

WHAT UP right back at ya !! 🐱‍👤😎👍 Keep mixing it up with other bands thoug to keep it fresh like Rammstein, Sabaton, Jinger, Epica or Within Temptation, Hell throw Arch Enemy or Dimmu Borgir in there while you are at it and some Beast in Black 😁😜👌

[@yourwinefamily1939]

Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back.Vehicle Of Spirit.Live at Wembley (2015). Just FYI Wacken is pronounced "Vocken" , it's the largest metal venue in Germany. So, you've already done #1 in the Trilogy, you'll want Poet and the Pendulum Live Wembley, With Lyrics, Best to do background research first as very important to understand what it's about. Then on to "Greatest Show on Earth", Tampere, and there is one with lyrics as well, (background narration by Richard Dawkins, watch all the way past credits) - ALL EPIC! Enjoy! :-)

[@henryquethiago]

Great react, great job!!!

[@bibliophile2707]

If you haven't already, check out Phantom of the Opera with their first singer Tarja. Great stuff and very operatic.

[@danielbrown7231]

The drummer is a beast. Really sad that he has quit the band

I like the energy that he puts into his drumming. But he has only quit drumming at Nightwish and is still working in the managment. So he he is still part of Nightwish. 🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏿
