[@siamboiguite7226]

Great reaction as always. You should do nightwish more often. Always loved seeing you get amazed by nightwish lol. 👍

[@Hoopsick]

I absolutely would if nuclear blast records didn't copyright claim every single song from them. I just can't afford to do all charity work at this point. Also a very large majority of my Nightwish subscribers only watch Nightwish reactions. That very much hurts the click through rate on my other videos that do make money, so KZbin quickly starts showing the videos to less viewers because they see that people aren't clicking on the thumbnails. So it's a balancing act right now

[@siamboiguite7226]

@@Hoopsick I understand. But yeah i like that you are mixing with other bands too. Even i'm discovering new bands and songs through your reaction videos lol. Keep up the good work.

[@Amaranthos2]

@@Hoopsick We the Army are a jealous Army...sorry xD reactors almost bite off more than they can chew when they pick up Nightwish, you almost need either a dedicated channel or none at all

[@Hoopsick]

🤔By dedicated channel that means a nuclear blast records donation channel. I don't know if everyone understands, but copyright claims means the the record label controls the ads on your videos and takes all the ad revenue from the videos. We are talking about a record label who's KZbin channel has 2.5 Billion views, slapping 2 or 3 adds on the reactors video and talking all the revenue from the reactor. On multiple levels I could not be part of such a thing

[@damonbryan7232]

This is how you open a show. Live first time at Wembley. They didn't hold anything back. Played all the epic trifecta. An ended the show with Richard Dawkins himself coming out.

[@572Btriode]

@Swords Chant Oh my, the regulation troll in the shape of epee two tone dirge has appeared to give us all the benefit of his capacious erudition and philosophic pontification. A bit of advice, if I may be so bold, the English do not use "thrash" (sic) and "bin"; I suspect you mean "trash" and "bin", but it would always be dust bin as "trash" is a North American term, also bear in mind there is a gap between them, the conjunction is non-existent, therefore next time please be modicum more accurate, precise and appropriately researched, there's a good chap. I do hope I might have rendered you a small service hereby.

[@Amaranthos2]

That's pretty much one of the highest compliments you can pay Nightwish. "I feel like for most of my other reactions on this channel, my face is like...in pain. But with Nightwish I feel like I'm smiling most of the time." 10/10 man 🤘

[@juliettemcgee9055]

Weak Fantasy live at Tampere next to see Floor channeling Ronnie James Dio and solo combo between Marko and Troy, plus epic drum opening by Kai 🔥

[@Flickerboy]

You Need to check "weak fantasy" live Tampere, you are gonna love it, clue: Kai solo on drums 😏 And tuomas headbanging is insane!

[@thomaslilly9558]

First song of the concert at Wembley ! Troy's Bucket List now has one less item.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

@@darkiee69 They should be playing at the stadium. Severely underrated band, 9 million records sold worldwide spread over 9 albums, it should be at least triple that! Almost makes you puke when musicians like this has sold 9 million albums and Justin Bieber has sold 150 million albums :(

[@timothyfritz5772]

Yes, as others have stated, opener for this show. For another banger from this same album (first with Floor), you must watch Weak Fantasy from Tampere in 2015. Floor goes absolutely apeshit, as does Kai on drums. You will love it

[@Idefixu]

Do not forget Marko.

[@johto]

I always crack when someone uses the word apeshit, LOL

[@johto]

@@Idefixu True. Marko rocks that song!

[@Idefixu]

And I think "Weak Fantasy" is one of the songs that makes Tuomas windmilling. He is almost as good as Floor. His windmilling at Wembley on "7 days to the Wolves" is awesome.

[@kujika]

@@Idefixu For whatever reason many forget Marko xD The Islander offical video reaction: Reactor "Who's singing this?" Some dude "Anette". I cracked up.

[@chilly2go]

This is the definition of the beginning of an epic concert. 🎸🤘👍

[@donepearce]

We love Nightwish in the UK, and Wembley always has a special energy for any band. And they got Richard Dawkins on stage to narrate the finale - Greatest Show on Earth.

[@DieHumanless]

This was the concert "Poet and the Pendulum" was filmed, too. A very good set list.

[@bazkeen]

Richard Dawkins doing the narration. It's from his book that they did their epic The Greatest Show On Earth song. Just love that duel between Tuomas and Emppu First song of the concert. That's how you start😄😄😄😄That's why everyone had their phones up. Waiting for it to start. Phones didn't last very long🤣🤣 Their Greatest Show is 21 minutes short. Feels like just 5 to 6 minutes. Something about their music

[@valonberchtold]

A little detail, Marco's vocal line at the end is lifted from the hymn "Gloria" (Gloria in excelsis Deo, in English you know it as Angels We Have Heard On High). Somewhat fitting for a song about marveling at the universe.

[@demise0]

As has been said, this is how Nightwish opens their shows. However that brings me to my suggestion of checking out the song they previously used as a show opener; 'Dark Chest of Wonders' (Wacken 2013). It's another banger of an opener.

[@scottb.4472]

Love all of your reactions!!! Nightwish is like a box of chocolates!!! they arent always "heavy"......but i like that about them, keeps you very interested!!!! HOOPS, see ya soon, you always do an awesome reaction!!!

[@eminabrestovac]

"It's almost over. Oh, noooo!" - Me, for every Nightwish song ever.

[@ianknowles8934]

You pointed out about everyone being on their phone instead of enjoying what's in front of them. Exactly what was meant in the song Noise!! All the fans have to do after a show is see it again on KZbin.

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Can't beat a keyboard/guitar dual. I agree about the phones, you should enjoy the show live and not try to film it. The film quality usually sucks also. Nightwish always has surprises, especially live. I think this was the first song since she greeted the crowd.

[@Duskwind_]

Unless it's a uilleann pipe/guitar duel LOL.

[@Kelly.sapphire]

@@Duskwind_ true....

[@paulmdevenney]

Welcome to a Nightwish OPENER. I guess the crowd wanted their "look what I'm about to watch" shots. They're not on the phones by the breakdown for sure. Try Weak Fantasy from Tampere 2015. What an atmosphere! God I hope that Wembley goes ahead in December....

[@timchambers8230]

This was their opening song from the London 2015 concert

[@samantha6493]

This was indeed the opening song for this show and it was electric! 🤘

[@phils866]

You are spot on regarding the phones, and Floor agrees with you! She has stated, numerous times in interviews, how it annoys her to see fans holding up phones, instead of gaining the full live experience by actually watching! You are also spot on about Nightwish putting a smile on your face - it's what they do! :-) They enjoy what they do so much, and therefore, so do we!

[@AGDinCA]

That "duel" between the guitar and the keyboard reminds me of Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) and Jon Lord (keys) of Deep Purple. They would often riff off each other. They were so good, they would improv every night they went on stage, so no two performances were ever the same. I loved it when they would "duel. " 💜

[@flavio_spqr]

My friend! That's exactly it, I have that same Purple vibe. If anyone would pick that up, it would be you.

[@AGDinCA]

@@flavio_spqr LOL! Seriously, if you break down Nightwish and Deep Purple, the comparisons are kinda freaky. Anyway - nice to see my fellow DP & Nightwish fan here! I wonder how many of us there are??

[@flavio_spqr]

@@AGDinCA Don't know why, but I don't believe there are too many of us... I've thought about that comparison. There are a few that can be made. Vocals, drums (especially with Kai now), keys, if one considers MK.3, the bass player also sings, both super-tight bands live. But there quite a few differences. Troy, for starters. Then, and as much as I love Tuomas and especially Emppu's playing, they are not the crazy improv maniacs as Lord and Blackmore were. Jon is missed...

[@AGDinCA]

@@flavio_spqr Jon is very, very missed. Speaking of which, have you watched his orchestral composition? Another way the two bands are alike. The keyboard players are the composers. And, as for a multi-instrumentalist, how about Ian Gillan and his killer harmonica work? I know that's a bit of a stretch, but it goes to show the depth of musicality in both bands. I wish Gillan had done more with the harmonica, to be honest.

[@flavio_spqr]

@@AGDinCA I have listened to it, yes. Well, Gillan also had the congas XD And as for a backup singer/bass player, MK.3 did have Glenn Hughes.

[@Neonbob]

Song Of Myself Everdream My 3rd Favorite song from Nightwish.🔥😊 Shudder💥🍸 🚬😋

[@PatrickDumass]

The same my dear nightwish reactor is different and special in each song I leave more to see ... Nemo --- live wacken Last ride of the day --- (Live wacken, last song on this stage) Meadows of heaven --- (This song does not have a direct live, it will be better on an audio track) The siren --- (Live from End Of An Era) I want my tears back --- (Live in Buenos aires) THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH --- (Live at tampere, worth every damn second)!!

[@Sithspit_Rogue]

After you watch enough of their shows, you'll note that they don't stay on stage the entire time if there's a portion where they're not needed; you'll note each member comes on as they approach their portion of it. Troy isn't on stage unless he is in the song. In Tampere, during Greatest Show on Earth, they come and go as they are in the song or not. During Islander...(etc, etc). And yes, this was the show opener.

[@Slick-ng5kf]

Opening song...love this song. Riff is awesome as synth/guitar duel. Gotta put the phones down and enjoy this with your own eye not through a phone camera lens.

[@Neobaconman]

It’s gotta be “I Want My Tears Back” next right? You love seeing cool, different things so you might like it!

Buenos Aires 2018. Floor dances up a storm on stage while Emppu runs away from her.

[@adambates4436]

Requesting please... - 'Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down' Song contains singers from Nightwish, Epica, and more......... Floor Jansen has appeared on several Ayreon projects dating back to the late 90's. Marco appears on a bunch of songs as well, even Bruce Dickinson gust stars on an album. To see Floor and Macro watch Ayreon Universe - Age of Shadows Live at Tilburg 2017. A band worth several react videos. One album was even turned into a stage play.

[@toned-fcreations5522]

Everyone comments on Floor and the band but no one seems to notice the amazing backing orchestral arrangements.

I was at this show and I had a blast in the crowd.. sure, there was the occasional phone screen that blocked my view (especially during the first song as you could see) but other than that it felt like a big party from beginning to end. Love your reactions by the way.

[@mailen5187]

This is absolutely one of my fav song from NW. They are so good, no words to describe 😳🤘👊 My God, they really know how to catch the audience's attention. They went absolutely crazy. What an explosive start for a great show. Tuomas with Emppu - keyboard guitar solo back and forth - crazy good Floor together with Marco, wow, unbeatable duo And Kai on drums - like metronome, no single mistake, didn't miss a beat 🤘👊🇫🇮

[@alanfoster6589]

Great comment on the phones. Nightwish satirizes exactly this in their song "Noise" from the newest album. Enjoy concert, buy the DVD. Better pix and sound. Me, I don't get the phone thing. It's not like Floor is crowd surfing (dear god, what an image that conjurs...she'd probably levitate anyway).

[@strogaa]

On their last tour (Decades) Nightwish pleased the fans in the intro to shut their phones off during the show and just to enjoy the music. Afaik they're the only ones who ever did this (?). Try out their other show opener Dark chest of wonders (Wacken 2013).

[@random-i2s]

you need to check `stargazers` live at tampere 2015 if you like tuomas his crazy synth sound

[@brennieb78]

The still dry, freshly brushed and flowy hair gives away how far into the concert they are ;-) I'm always amazed at the energy spent in the first few songs, considering how long they are on stage for and how they manage to keep going, like running a marathon!

[@McLovin112]

Yes, thank you for getting back to nightwish! Weak fantasy live from Tampere - Finland (lyrics video), could be the next chapter on your Nightwish journey. Keep it going!

[@eviljeep]

Can't believe it's been one year without a reaction of Nightwish. Please come back! Try the Islander from Tempere. Marko is lead singing. You'll be a hero for the Nightwish army 🤟❤️ tx from Québec Canada 🇨🇦

[@Hoopsick]

I can't, for now. I no longer do reactions to music labels or publishers that do not appreciate the value in reactions and release the copyright claims. When nuclear blast records gets with the times and respects reactions as free promotion and they stop taking the ad revenue from reactions to their music, I will very much enjoy getting many bands from their label back on the channel.

[@eviljeep]

This is the dark side that we don't know about. So sad to ear this. It was a beautiful adventure with nightwish, you were about to pass the tip of the iceberg!😆 Tx for the information

[@Team-YingYang]

@Hoopsick You should check out "Greatest Show on Earth" by Nightwish Live at Tampere. Their longest epic song. Before watching dona Little check-up on the story of the song. I think you'll find it really interesting

[@mariaelenasanchezyanez690]

The music of NIGHTWISH IS NEXT LEVEL...AMAZING it has the best singer on the planet ' it has Marco on of the most incredible voices in metal' it has one of the most talented guitarists in the world' it has Kai one the great drummers of our time and the.genius of Tuomas the Mozart of metal. No band in the world has such an alignment.

[@MarcXL81]

Finally back on Nightwish, great reaction. Such a great opener for the Wembley show. After this it is time for "weak fantasy", Tampere 2015 Maybe its time for the wonderful journey of the composition "the greatest show on earth" Tampere 2015. I would recommend the lyrics version and listen till the end, the song ends with spoken words from Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist. It´s a story from the big bang to the end of all beings, here a good comment someone wrote about it: This song is a poetic brief summary of the creation of Earth, life as we know it, evolution, and Earth's "roadtrip" through the aeons. Numerous scientific and historic references all over the place so grab yourself a wikipedia if you're going to make full sense out of it! To get you going: The cosmic law of gravity (self explanatory) Pulled the newborns around a fire (Creation of our galaxy, newborns=planets, fire=sun) A careless, cold infinity in every vast direction (self explanatory) Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone (That is Earth, the only habitable planet) She has a tale to tell (Earth takes the main stage from now on!) From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast (Carbon feast = life as we know it) Enter LUCA - The last common ancestor of all, the beginning of all that was/is/will be alive in Earth enters the stage. Let the show begin :)

First song in the show and in the album as well, same album as Greatest Show of Earth, that's why Richard Dawkins says a few words at the beginning. Another one from that album, Weak Fantasy, if you didn't do it already it's a great choice. From Tampere show.

[@nickname3380]

The new songs life will be dope

[@MisterJ56]

If you wanna do something different (and Dutch 😉): "The Source" is the 9th studio album from Ayreon, a progressive metal/rock opera project by Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen, released on April 28, 2017. "The Day The World Breaks Down" is a song that features all 11 (well known) main guest singers [James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot, Seventh Wonder), Tommy Rogers (Between the Buried and Me) , Simone Simons (Epica), Nils K. Rue (Pagan's Mind), Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Mike Mills (ToeHider), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus), Floor Jansen (Nightwish)] and is taken from that album. Arjen himself is telling (in subtitles) who the singers are and which instrument are used and by what standards.Btw. The clip is 13 min. Long and I think you won’t regret it !!Official (Arjen’s) clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfYfn6ap9-Dp7c

David awesome reaction, you just experience the show opener. I recommend seven days to the wolves live from Wembley

[@guidoheuts]

This is such an awesome band, I'm 51 yrs old. The live experience one has with Nightwish, is only comparable to the British band Queen. Both bands; musically, were/are way ahead of their time, in writing and producing music.. Floor's lead vocals, versatillity, stage precence and energy are comparable to Freddie Mercury. Tuomas's interlect and pure craftmenship rivals Brian May's. And then you have Troy, who is a real instrument wizzard. Also Kai's, and in the past Yukka's drumming are awesome, just like Roger Taylor. Then you have Empuu, the clown and awesome guitarist. And last but not least, there is Marco on bass, and vocals. I don't want to compare him to John Deacon, but they too make these two bands complete with their specialties. * Sighs...........if only Freddie woud be still alive. God I wish these two bands would've had the chance to do a collaboration.
