Hi Rachel. If you want to hear Marco singing solo (with a bit of Nightwish in the background), there is an awesome ballad that he performs at the Tampere live concert called "The Islander". you will love it :)

[@alancarter41]

I concur, and would Master Passion Greed, one of the most angry, emotional, and hard songs NW has ever done.

[@75jvs]

And also the tribute to the Pink Floyd song High Hopes with Marko singing is awesome!

[@athlonen]

@@alancarter41 I agree, but I'd say for her to hold off on Master Passion Greed, because she still needs to get through a few other songs before being thrown to that one. As she's a singer and understands lyrical meaning, that one would be a deep one to explain.

[@biglew1161]

I concur, however I would also add Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red as well.

[@LDBHX]

I concur

[@LDBHX]

Tuomas is not just genius music composer He's also great poet That's why this band is so unique ❤🔥🤘🔥❤ It's spiritual experience 🔥🤘

[@orangeguppie6897]

I concur!!!!!! A genius composer, a great poet, we are the Lucky ones, that we can experience him and the other Nightwish members live, all amazing people. What will people say about this band in the future, about Tuomas as a composer! He sure deserves his place in the music history. Thanks, i loved your reaction, see you at the next one, bye!

[@andrelglinnenbank2856]

And poor Floor having to learn a lot of these songs with lots of complicated lyrics in just 2 days to replace Anette

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

A superb poet...in a second language... Sometimes wonder what he could/does write poetry in his FIRST laguage. Almost makes me want to learn Finnish!

[@stuartcollins82]

Underrated song vote - Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean (Live in Buenos Aires). Fun vocals, catchy, and a great intro to the monster that is Kai on drums, and the charming Troy playing everything else.

It's time for Ghost River! From the same concert ^_^

[@jeffcarroll01]

That's called your 'stank face', during the guitar solo, love it. Only true metal heads have one! Awesome reaction!!

[@kentk2215]

Extra beautiful reaction. This is one of their heavier ones. My personal favorite from this Wacken show is Song of Myself. Keep exploring Nightwish. It’s worth it.

[@NickBR57]

I concur - Song of Myself please!

[@JWNanaimo]

Get on the Nightwish express. It takes you away. You don’t know where they’ll take you but you know it going to be friggin’ epic. Sensory overload….and Floorgasms..NW style!!

[@sthenzel]

I suggest "Yours is an empty hope" from the same concert as the next Nightwish reaction. Listen to it closely, then you´ll know why! Romanticide may be a word created as song title, but IMHO it still is a correct one, meaning 'killing romance'.

[@YoJimBo851610]

Yours is an empty hope is wembley arena also nightwish cruise😅😅

[@granadosvm]

I think she knows what it means, she is just saying "stuff" because YT stupid rules lower content creators ratings or demonetize them automatcally when they use some words. It seems YT thinks we are stupid and by using alternate words, like "unaliving", which has been very popular with other reactors, we were believing we were avoiding talking about certain subjects instead of just using different words.

[@tedbaker3846]

The Wembley version is better, most reactors choose it

[@alanfoster6589]

@@tedbaker3846 Best of the lot, although "Rock in Rio" has some unique shots.

[@ingobordewick6480]

There is no "Yours is an empty hope" at Wacken 2013. The song was released in 2015. 🤣🤣🤣

[@TimoArula]

This song is Like a Coffee with Red Bull .... On Steroids 🤘❤‍🔥🤘. The “scream” at the end is called a glissando, going from low to high and back, for classically trained singers this is an exercise to warm up the vocal cords, so Floor will do this probably every day before breakfast 😆. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

[@YoJimBo851610]

Yours is an empty hope from Wembley Arena🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chuckwagon7860]

A beautiful reaction to a beautiful band by a beautiful girl......What's not to love? Blessings to you, Rachel!

[@Jiipee81]

Seen their first ever gig back in 1997 and over 60 shows after that and they still suprise me!!!

[@irrgamer]

If you want a lot of effects during a song, during the same song, they did a song called "The Last Ride of the Day". This one is actually crazy in terms of effect IMO.

[@martinklaus2203]

Jukka is an absolute beast on drums in this song. This has to be one of his favorite songs to perform.

[@williamhall9524]

Rachel, Floor & Marko are really good together in Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere, and you get to experience Troy a little playing Uileann Pipes and low whistle. He sings too but not very much in this one. You'll enjoy it! It's a long one, but play it to the end. (about 24 mins)

[@patrikjohansson9183]

great song, got my vote too

[@eg3100]

From Tampere, i prefer Stargazers.

[@darrylpreston4974]

Let’s have her react to The Poet and The Pendulum first, then one, or is she ready for that one?

[@davidhill7055]

"Song of Myself" next please. Same 2013 Wacken concert.

[@Amnar23]

Listen to something from her former Band ReVamp, progressive Metal. She growls, it is amazing

[@reztv5004]

tuomas is quite possibly the greatest gift to music

[@JStephens_73]

One of the best, if not the best solo from any of their songs

[@leewayne1609]

I never get tired of Nightwish reactions!

[@paullucas7460]

you have my favorite reactions to Nightwish because I believe you are actually a fan and part of the Army now. and the words you use and talking to yourself are gorgeous just like you. I guess in short you are fun to watch.

[@ciscopedroso]

she is not ready yet to listen "the greatest show on earth" by nightwish, it will blow her mind with floor and marko singing

Simply and absolutely Amazing performance! Good react again Beauty. See you at the next! 🤟🏻🦊🔥🔥🔥🇯🇵

[@kimo3403]

please react to "While Your Lips Are Still Red" Marko is the first voice in that music o/ big hug from brazil!

[@Erfedwe]

Another great reaction to this amazing band. The smile on your face says it all. If you want to see more Marko, including some of his more delicate stuff, check out The Islander, Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red, or High Hopes, which is an amazing tribute to Pink Floyd. For more Marko and Floor together, check out Ghost River or Yours is an Empty Hope.

[@madwelshbiker3710]

or alternately, take a look at the masked singer (finland)

[@MycontentisgoldJerryGold]

We love your inexplicable scrunchy face. ❤ The witchiness continues in Annette's and Marco's performance of "Scaretale"'

[@lorgrenbenirus]

Check also High Hopes, Nightwish' tribute to Pink Floyd, for more Markko goodness and Emppu's masterful hands.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Haha, some windmill -powered clean energy! ⛄❄👍

[@snugglepants4204]

Facemelting. The word you are looking for when a solo scrunches up your face is facemelting. 😂

[@chriso6719]

Floor covered 3 octaves in that glissando that she did in tandem with Marko. The studio version, from the Tarja era, only has his 2 octave slide. this is one of their heavier songs. Emppu doesn't shred like that very often, they play what the song needs, as opposed to showing off. Recommend Song of Myself from this Wacken show. And for a heavier song, that was written for Floor, Yours Is an Empty Hope from Wembley 2015.

[@jeffk1482]

The banshee glissando gets ‘em *every time* ! 😂

[@damienmaynard8892]

Knew you'd love the Floor-raid siren. G3 - D6 and back! ...... and Marko being the best Marko ever!

[@hollandduck79]

Floor Jansen & The Red Limo String Quartet - Energize Me . Acoustic , No mic , no audio amplification , no audio tricks simply 100% PURE Floor-Power . this is from before the Nightwish period. this is a song from Floor's old band After Forever. link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6u6Yp16dtlpb7M .

[@jasonmarshall7572]

There is even more of Floor and Marko singing both heavier and softer and without Nightwish like Christmas music.

[@havaas9650]

Another G.R.E.A.T. reaction. It is so much fun to see you enjoy and make us enjoying even more. Thanks again Rachel.

[@rickphil9999]

Hey Rayactions. Yes, that was fun. Great reaction to this banger of a performance. Keep them coming.

[@DarkLordZewo]

Do Ghost River next...more Marko singing

[@chaosreign7851]

I love how even Empoo after that last scream is staring at her like how do you make that sound lol.

[@marchendrickson2382]

The term you're looking for with Empuu's solo is stank face. And it fits with any GOOD solo

[@senfonikmetalhead]

"ghost river live from wacken", their voices together epic yeah!

[@Thorgrim247]

You look on the lyric "I am an Eider covered in oil". A metaphor for an innocent tainted with cruelty. BTW, an Eider is a European water foul. Get it? The wicked witch scream is all about a scream of frustration over the end of a romance gone bad. Romanticide is the death or killing of romance. I think you would love "Wish I Had an Angel", from Wacken 2013 of course. The 2nd song in the set list. See link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZPFeJeKd9B-pLs - 🎼 NIGHTWISH 🎶 Wish I Had An Angel 🎶 Live At Wacken 2013 ☢ CORRECT SPEED ☢

[@argantyr5154]

When "The boy" is mentioned in the Lyrics its often referring to Tuomas.

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

I love your reactions. You're so genuine. ❤❤ Romanticide is loving someone that never returns that love "and you eventually find yourself drowning in the black abyss of rejection".

[@hollandduck79]

Once is the best pop metal album of all time, make female vocals popular and Finland relevant in 2000's hard rock and metal lists.

[@BigzampanoXXL]

Your smiling is so nice. we love you and your reactions to NW. Thanks.

[@UpTheIrons51510]

You mentioned “scrunchy face.” Also known as stank face. Acceptable in jazz, funk, rap, rock, metal, dubstep, etc. it’s generally used to convene the experience of heaviness or a response to virtuosity. The genre doesn’t matter, check out “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” - The Beatles

[@MrDempmeister]

Great reaction as always, loved it! The name of this song is directly tied to what the song is about. Its about a breakup after a nasty betrayal that was so bad that you feel like you’re done with love. I’ve definitely had one of those so I can totally relate to the lyrics that are very dark and full of rage and angst. And yes, there are alot of effects happening in this one, but there are a few that are even more intense. Just wait to you get to “Last Ride Of The Day” from this concert. 🔥🔥🔥

[@athlonen]

I definitely agree with some of the others down in the comments, and recommend The Islander, live from Tampere. Marco sings lead on that one, but the harmonies on that are phenomenal. Also, I see that you haven't been introduced to Nightwish's 3rd singer, Troy Donockley. When they are able to get 3-part harmonies going, it's really good. I'd start with I Want My Tears Back, from Buenos Aires for that. But definitely have a react to The Islander. You'll love it.

[@pauljohnson7382]

Romanticide...Homicide...and a Bunch of other 'Cides... Nice! Fun Reaction...

[@riderofthe4thseal]

If you haven't seen it yet, check out Ghost River (same concert performance) Floor and Marko trade back and forth in that song. I think you'd like it!

[@okiejohn3925]

I saw an interview with a big league guitarist once (can't remember who) who said they do the "scruntchy face", as you called it, to send any tension they have to their face so it wouldn't be in their hands when doing some complicated riffing.

I've always thought that a Nightwish Show with Till from Rammstein doing the pyro effects would probably be the most epic experience possible. That being said, enjoying your journey down the rabbit hole, looking forward to your reactions to songs with more effects, 7 Days to the Wolves is fun, but Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere (tam-pa-rah), has to be the best. No rush to get to it, I'll be here for the whole journey. Nightwish Army Arizona Division checking in. 🌵🇺🇲

So... I've just spent the entire last night checking out the videos, slept, worked, came back and watched this video... Quite a channel I gotta say. Gotta point one thing out though, I'm not entirely sure what type of liquid they use for the fire effects, but Rammstein uses primarily gasoline for their fire "effects". Also, song recommendations, why not. Valley of the Damned in Loud Park Festival, Japan, because you mentioned about the solo.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

"Dark Chess of Wonder" started the concert and it had more. Later when you get to the concert in Tampere the closing song "The Greatest Show on Earth" has more pyrotechnics than any other song (it's outdoors and it's wild). The song is LONG if you watch to the very end.

[@Aeo1313]

That is called the "Stank Face," it means that it is extra good

[@lurker1316]

I forget which reactor called that last part a "double banshee slide," but now the term lives rent free in my head. I always love seeing people hear that for the first time. If you want more of Floor and Marco together, you might like "Last Ride of the Day" or "Ghost River" from this same concert, Wacken 2013. And if you're interested in more female-fronted rock/metal stuff, you might enjoy the bands Halestorm or The Warning. Halestorm's Lzzy Hale was recently featured on a phenomenal cover of Journey's "Separate Ways" by Daughtry. And The Warning has some great recently uploaded live stuff on their YT.
