If I ever won on the lotto my first purchase would be gold patreon request of a double reaction of High hopes Floyd then Nightwish from David Dear Santa for Christmas I would like.....

[@GodAesthetics]

Yes!!!!!!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@andileach5629 Emppu is not pronounced "m poo" if you want to pronounce it like the actual Finnish name is pronounced. It should be pronounced more like emph po', that is you pronounce one p at the end of first syllable (it should sound like start of word "emperor") and second p at the start of second syllable (which should be shorter than "poo" in English because in Finnish the length of vowel depends on count of letters). In Finnish, *every written letter is always pronounced* and double consonants always have syllable a syllable break between the letters to allow pronouncing both letters separately. "m poo" would be about correct pronounciation of "empuu" which is not a name nor a word in Finnish.

[@Amaranthos2]

If anybody exists that can headbang harder than Floor, it's Tuomas. Wait till you get to "7 days to the wolves," the man goes full turbine Absolutely loved watching you work out what note Floor hit there at the end, that was pure gold 🤘

[@harryj4165]

Holy shit, Tuomas' headbang is insane! In Weak Fantasy too. The whole keyboard set trembles...

[@VXGaming]

He also goes nuts in The Greatest Show On Earth.

[@Red-Brick-Dream]

Love Floor (and I don't like Cannibal Corpse), but no one headbangs like George Fisher.

[@ingrudmessenger1193]

I remember Marco saying he likes singing with Floor because he doesn't need to hold back. He can just go and she'll turn the power up to whatever. I'm not a musician, but guess that's nice to have. :)

[@AlexBarregon]

Dave if you would like to hear Marco sing try ‘The Islander.’ Warming it is different.

[@chewiescustompuzzles]

That is badass

[@littleraven28]

Yes, I second that. I was laughing and thinking of this song when he said in his reaction to Dark chest of wonders that bass players were usually shoved in the back and forgotten about. Marko couldn't be more in the front and killing it (Tampere 2015) 🤘🏽

[@billattercliffe8655]

Hopefully someone in your Patreon will elevate "Yours is an Empty Hope" as you seriously need to hear that one. Be sure to use Wembley or Mexico City and not the crappy Baltic Cruise version. The band does their usual great stuff on the cruise version, but the video production is crap.

[@deed5811]

Wembley is easier to see what Floor is doing in the chorus.

[@pavelp174]

You haven't seen Tuomas headbang until you see "7 days to the wolves" at Wembley. I don't know how his keyboard stand survived that.

[@stamasd8500]

Agreed. Whoever built that stand must have an engineering degree in earthquake-proof constructions.

[@gillandianyt3920]

Triangulation, Loctite?

[@Kanyon85]

Plus, in addition to Tuomas, Floor does an insane 30 second windmill. Also one of the best duets for Floor and Marco.

In her spare time Floor also makes extra cash working as an air raid siren.

[@monluztrella]

You want stage presence from Tuomas? You gotta check out 7 Days To The Wolves live at Wembley, both he and Floor go HARD on that one. Also there’s at least one old video (like, Tarja era old) where he straight up leaves the keyboard and joins the rest of the band to headbang together.

I agree, I still to stick to wine 98%. 😀

[@markgriffin45]

It's pronounced Em-poo essentially. Great review and a fitting score. Floor and Tuomas actually have headbanging competitions during certain songs, both are very competent at it too.

[@markush1122]

Just a friendly correction. When pronounced correctly Emppu has no "poo" in it, but instead it has a "PP" 🤭. In Finnish everything is pronounced as it is written. So because there is only one U, but a double P in Emppu, it is "Emp-pu", or as you write it in English, "Emp-po". (*Emppu is actually not his real name, just a nickname). But I know that Finnish is not the easiest language for English speakers to pronounce and it really isn't a big deal if you don't get the pronunciation 100% right. And the "poo" makes the name a lot funnier and reflects perfectly Emppu's fun-loving personality.

[@markgriffin45]

[@andreaspedersen3952]

Talking about Emppu and his EV-1... As far as i know: if you look at him in early years he had it placed on his stomach, then mid 2000 it went down to his groin. Not for sure, but it might be he feel more for having it low while riffing and chugging, while soloing having it high for better control?

[@jessicakoster2543]

I think so too. Having the guitar resting on your leg, gives more stability. Emppu surely doesn't need it, but it fits when you look him during a solo. He gives even the easiest solo's all of his attention.

[@richardwest6358]

Just like 99% of classical guitarists do

[@goesman81]

beeing almost as short as Emppu (he is 5,3, iam 5,5) i often do rest the Guitar on my knee when i play solos (wich i dont do often as i am actually keyboard player^^) as a standart size Guitar strap if friggin big now a days^^ when the "normal German" is 5,9 or even 6 feet tall^^...my 5 cents

[@Vince_est.97]

@@goesman81 I am pretty sure Emppu could effort some custom straps or easily could get them sponsored, thats not the reason I think 😅

[@TimoArula]

Coffee with Red Bull ... that's Romanticide 🤘❤‍🔥🤘. The “scream” at the end is called a glissando, going from low to high and back, for classical trained singers this is an exercise to warm up the vocal cords, so Floor will do this probably every day before breakfast 😄. Also...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. Great reaction/review !!! Thank You !!! NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

[@homegnome2429]

Thanks David - as I said you deserve more Nightwish in your life, and the Nightwish fanbase deserve more reactions of your quality 🤟 This is the perfect follow up to GLS as the style is so different and you get to answer the questions on shredding and harmonies. I won my bet with myself that you would rewind the slide twice 😀 Looking forward to my December reaction and your assessment of Tuomas' windmill...

[@NotRickyBobby]

assessment of Tuomas' windmill...... my bet is you requested 7 Days to the Wolves. Thank you for supporting David, really enjoying his reactions.

[@martine3293]

Thank you David for another enjoyable review. It's a shame these Nightwish songs are so low on your list with requests, but thankfully Home Gnome pushed it up towards the top 🙏🏻 Emppu usually puts his foot up on the monitor for his solos. I've seen him do that since the early years, even though he can also solo without doing that. I think it adds to his stage performance, which is already great. In fact, they all have great stage presence. Greetings from the Netherland, stay safe!

[@carldevries9108]

Thanks Home Gnome for getting this prioritized. Just another "regular" Nightwish song. Love your Nightwish reactions.

[@44WarmocK77]

"How many octaves can you sing flawlessly?" Floor and Marco:"Yes. ^^"

[@pro-v7500]

As far as Emppu’s foot in the monitor solos.. honestly I think he just does it cause he’s a pretty small dude who is fairly chill. So when it’s is moment to take the spotlight he gets on his throne at the front fo the stage for the spotlight and shreds away in humble comfort. Obviously that’s just a lot of conjecture and just my opinion, but that’s the vibe I get from all his shows.

[@clivematthews5296]

Marko and Floor blend so well because they are both talented singers. Floor has guested on tracks by several bands and she blends with all of them. Including Ayreon, Devin Townsend, Ma Yah, Epica, Evergrey, Sabaton and Soilwork.

[@shadegate6660]

I agree. Floor has guested or been part of 20 bands/projects over the years. Marko, over 40 plus Tarot etc that he was a permananet member of. A hugely prolific pair. Nightwish current and past members have over 140 collaborations between them.

[@brocksamson8771]

Not to mention Marko has guested on many songs for other bands like Delain. He also was lead singer in his own metal band Tarot for many years before Nightwish.

[@jamesm6377]

Add now on Sabaton Christmas Truce!!

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Yep, no pinch and that is why she is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy 😍🤩😍🤩😍 and Marko is of course the mighty Viking 😎😎😎😎 Side note: she had only 1 year of opera training.... what a prodigious talent..😍

[@ulfcarlsson9083]

Thanks for the great reaction! I have only seen Emppu soloing with one foot up on the monitor, so I suppose that's what he likes. Regards from Sweden Ulf

[@shadokat]

Thank you Home Gnome for getting this fantastic song to the top. Floor shows off her chops so well in that "banshee scream" at the end. David, I really loved your reaction to that part of the song. We can tell how much you respect Floor by the way you speak of her. All of them, really. Yes, she and Marko blend very well. I think you'll love his voice when he sings lead. Three songs sung by Marko as the lead vocalist: "While your lips are still red," "The Islander," and. "Endlessness." None of these songs are hard - driving heavy metal. You might consider two of them ballads. They also covered Pink Floyd's "High Hopes," and Marko sang that one too. There are several other songs where he isn't the lead vocalist but he figures prominently in them. I'm having a hard time thinking of most of those titles right now. "Wish I Had an Angel" is one of them. Hey gold and silver members, why don't you ask David to listen to a Marko song? I absolutely agree about Tuomas rocking out and having such great stage presence. He doesn't have to do anything but stand there and play the keyboards. The rest of the band could carry the show. But he's singing, dancing, head banging, soliciting reactions from the crowd, and so much more. I mean, these are HIS songs. He wrote them, arranged them, orchestrated them, labored over every little sound while recording them... He is proud of and passionate about his work and it shows. He owns his music but doesn't hog the spotlight. I really admire the guy. Think of the word "shampoo" when you think of Emppu, the guitar player's, name. Em-poo. Except the accent is on the first syllable, not the second. EM-poo. You actually gave "Dark Chest of Wonders" the same score. Both well deserved. 9.2. You're allowed to like one song more than another. That makes you human. Thank you for this great reaction.

[@homegnome2429]

Couldn't agree with you more about Tuomas - he feels it so deeply. He's an absolute master on the keys but usually doesn't show off. Part of why I love GSOE so much when he puts himself more forward than usual

[@jukkan976]

Maybe next devil &deep dark ocean live buones Aires??

[@bwaychick20]

Oh, boy does Marko sing!! Can’t wait until you get to While Your Lips Are Still Red, The Islander and Endlessness. Floor is grand and Empuu(said M-poo)is great. He doesn’t always put his foot up for solos but it is more common than not. I don’t think you’ve met the 6th member yet, Troy brings a very Celtic/folk vibe with all of his instruments(whistles, Irish bagpipes, bouzouki, guitar etc). Check out Last of the Wilds, Élan, or I Want My Tears Back.

[@1982jeepcj8]

Marco singing Master Passion Greed, but that should be for later

[@deed5811]

also note for David, no live version of Master Passion Greed. Still worth it, angry Tuomas is 🔥🔥. It's the heaviest song they've done, they but won't ever do it live.

[@don-o-seven1437]

Love that you noticed Jukka standing to hit the symbols. He does that a lot and I love the extra stage pressence it gives. You will also see times where he lays over him drums hiding behind the toms and symbols (resting, insomnia...maybe?). I think it is more that when he is not playing he wants to fade away and not distract. Same as when Floor walks off stage during solos etc. All about giving time and focus to your bandmates.

I say wow every time I hear Nightwish with Floor as the vocalist. Amazing. Song of Myself from this Wacken show along with Storytime and Everdream from Wacken needs to be on the list.

[@samishiikihaku]

In the original studio recording of this song it was 2 guy singers that did that end roll up through the octaves. I've been an avid listener to Nightwish since early 2000s. When I first heard this song, and that end part with Floor and Marco, I was blown away. Floor literally went from her lowest to absolute highest. I don't know if I've ever heard that from any other singer ever, honestly. When you watch the documentary "Please learn the set list in 48 hours" which is about why Floor came into singing for Nightwish full time and 2 days before this show. She said after the initial singing of the songs where she got comfortable practicing with the band she said she started to do add some of her own flavor to the songs. And the band really enjoyed it. She added her own twist and spin on these songs since Tarja was 100% operatic, and Annette was a pop like singer. Floor can do everything. Even full blown death metal growling! O_o Yes there is one Nightwish song where she does growl. :) Can't wait to see you react on that one lol. 2013 Waken was easily one of the best performances they've ever put on. Absolutely amazing!

Thank you Home Gnome! My friend, you will find that Marko has much more vocally. He was the lead singer for his previous band. Tarot. Emppu does not always use the monitor. However, he does like to use it often. He is rather short at 5"3" and maybe that has something to do with it? No worries about Tuomas rocking out. You seemed impressed with "The Grand Glissando" from Marko and Floor? Marko went up pretty high, but then Floor took it to the stratosphere! It is Em-poo. Nickname for Erno Matti Juhani Vuorinen. All hail General Floor! From your commentary, I think you will love many of Nightwish' songs. Loved it again David! Well entertained and I agree with all of your comments. We done. Peace.

Marko? High Hopes (Floyd tribute) "This guy" (Emppu) can do anything but shredding is not appropriate for a lot of Nightwish songs so he doesn't do it. He does what the song needs.

Empuu generally sets it on his knee because he's using both hands for quite a bit of it. He'll mute certain strings and things like that. If Floor's a powerhouse, she and Marco could power a small city.

[@michaelfreeman4218]

I agree with you that DCOW is a better song. Romanticide is an excellent song and performance, but probably one of my least favourites for the first half. Time for a patreon to introduce you to the 6th member of the group...Troy

Empuu shreds when the music calls for it. Like all the band members it's not about virtuosity, it's about the music.

[@justdave9610]

I know it's easy to claim it after the fact but I thought you'd give it a 9.2 before you gave the score. I enjoyed the reaction a lot and look forward to seeing more Nightwish from you. Would personally like seeing Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean live in Buenos Aires

[@grahamkey8496]

That one is very similar to Romanticide in terms of heaviness and operatic/rock mix, imo and is one of my favourites.

Marko can sing, Empuu normally solos with his right foot on the monitor(Marko does it too-Dead Boy's Poem-Buenos Aries 2018) a great song!! And Floor can go from Contralto to top Soprano(4 octaves). I've heard many singers in my 70 years of listening to music but Floor Jansen imho is the most versatile singer(Opera to Metal)in any genre except Thruvian throat singing.

So much fun to watch this reaction. I've watched the Wacken show several times, and I believe that's Floor's highest note of the show. This song really rocks. Thanks, DH.

Marko is the male equal of Floor. He can do anything. If this is the only song you’ve heard him on, you haven’t seen anything yet.

9.2 is quite a high score

The guitarist pretty much always puts his foot on the monitor during solos on any live footage I've seen. I don't think it's for posing, I suspect it allows him to stabilise the guitar and raise it a bit for better control and better hand position.
