NIGHTWISH Storytime REACTION Wacken 2013

[@fdsannie]

Before you do Poet and the Pendulum you need to research the back story. The lyrics would be hard to understand. It is an emotional song. Also if you do the one with lyrics it doesn't seem to be blocked. What she does with her hair is called the windmill...... :-) That is why I love them, because you never know what you are going to get!

[@TheBandSShow]

WINDMILL!!! Got it!

[@corneliusantonius3108]

@@TheBandSShow Somewhere after the the second song in this concert I think, Marco tells the audience they have a new prescence in their midst and calls Floor their very own "Flying Dutch Woman"😁😍😎

[@Green-Lyon]

One day she's just going to take off like a metal Mary Poppins xD

[@TheJama64]

Glad that you’re back keeping things on track ;)

[@fdsannie]

@@TheJama64 Thank you! I am trying...... :-)

[@Green-Lyon]

As Floor is Dutch, it's only appropriate she "Windmills."

[@barbaravance6774]

😂💖💖💖💖💖

[@black4pienus]

Yay Dutch! ;)

[@Greyhound53200]

The only thing I would wish for Nightwish is a bigger popularity in the US. Consider this: when they come over to the US they play for venues of max 5,000 people while everywhere else they have audiences of at least 25,000. Wacken for instance hosts 82,000+ people! So what would be nice is gaining many US 'ambassadors' - like you guys - willing to 'spread the word'. Make them better known and more famous in the US. They surely deserve it!

[@garyevans9305]

Greyhound53200 Well said my bro! ;)

[@stevekanakanui7033]

I know there is alot of requests from Wacken but the whole concert was just insane so on that note "Ghost River "from Wacken live has got to be next ....you guys crack me up ./.Great reactions ..Nightwish Army ..APPROVES !!

[@pyssy123]

One The Finnish Family chapter say's 👍

[@lweems5549]

If you want to hear something different again from Nightwish try Sleeping Sun from Tampere. Its a ballad type song.

[@Wriwnas1]

I danced to that song to my wedding. Just saying....

[@alyssam4970]

You guys are fun...I'm glad you are doing this together. You both compliment each other! keep up the good work! Not so much work if it is also your passion! Listen to Ann she is the Nightwish Superfan! What she says goes! I hope you are doing well and feeling better Ann, love from Canada! And I agree with Stan, it is nice to have sooo many elements in a song/journey....how many times have you listened to one band and FF'd to the next song/track cause was a slower song or not the right song for your mood. With Nightwish songs you can pretty much listen to one song and get all the moods..Anyways..love you guys again!

[@josejesuscontrerassalazar9140]

This is my favorite song. The energy and the fun they're having you can see that in their smiles.

[@andrewhutchinson8025]

Mine too

[@johngialluca6025]

For Poet and the Pendulum you’ll need to pause every so often to avoid the copyright strike. That’s a song where understanding the bands backstory will help with context.

[@torhus]

It looks like it's been unblocked now, I've seem some reaction channels uploading it without issues lately.

[@Equilibrium2903]

For a different side to Floor, give ReVamp - Disdain live at Graspop 2010 a listen.

[@daydreamer2064]

Yesss!!! Please!!

[@dianabayona6043]

Monolit of doubt

[@trinxikene]

That was an awesome reaction! Thank you for stopping by the Discord! It was fun to have you guys! :) Also I hope you can react to Ghost River next. Or maybe Dark Chest of Wonders? From the same Wacken 2013 concert of course :)

[@TheBandSShow]

Hi Trinx, thanks for the Discord welcome!

[@nikohietala3898]

@@Boman-Boys No problem 🤗😄

[@uncagedulfhedinn2525]

So, that ending with her in the high operatic notes, that was actually a pre-taped backing vocal in the original song. Floor just decided to do it herself lol

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Wiyh "Poet And The Pendulun" you have 5 sections and if you do it with lyrics you know where to pause, alsoo read a little bit of the back story why the song was written. Did you allready see the first female vocal of Nightwish ? "Phantom of The Opera"live by Nightwish will give you a good grasp of her vocals and alsoo Marka shines as "The Phantom" 😍😎👌

[@mps_gaming1898]

Thank you for reaction of Nightwish they are one of the best live band :-) for long time ago i searched about wolves I found Nightwish 7 Days to the Wolves and then their one of my favorite band, Here at North Europe exist many good metal band like Hammerfall Last Man Standing, Sabaton Carolus Rex at English or Swedish version, the drummer in Sabaton is married with Floor in Nightwish

[@bazzingabomb]

The song before this ever dream is also outstanding

[@sugoruyo]

as is every other song from this show.

[@mitaboop]

I just looooove Floor🥰 she is the whole package😄 Nightwish is non other than fantastic🤩 Good too see u back Ann Waychoff😃🌷🌺

[@marcmorton1439]

Fantastic reaction! Next you should react to either Ever Dream or Ghost River! Both from Wacken 2013.

[@sulrics]

For some Nightwish opera....1st female vocalist … "Phantom of the Opera". Great reaction.

[@ddanielsandberg]

Perhaps the "popiest" song they have. Lyrics with Alice, Peter Pan and blue skies, about the innocence and imagination that we tend to loose as we grow up. And it *works*! Damn it onions, now I got flashbacks to all those times when I was a kid; with my father reading stories with dramatic voice and gesticulations and all was fine again and anything seemed possible. Miss you dad.

[@GabrielShiON]

nightwish the greatest show on earth

[@TheBandSShow]

We will do it!

[@rivieraroyalty6878]

Enjoying you guys reactions to Nightwish, after poet and teh pendulum you guy have to do "The Greatest Show on Earth" you are gonna love it!

[@handibenkz4091]

"Ghost River" live from Wacken would be good to react for next before jump into The Poet and The Pendulum.

[@joseph-socialist.bsky.social]

You should react to Epica Sancta terra, Floor and Simone simmons sing a duet it's amazing. Great reaction by the way

[@harrybroaddus846]

Yep, the duet is AMAZING!

[@dieseldog00]

Simone Simons A great singer in her own right like Dutch Symphonic Metal band Within Temptation's lead singer Sharon den Adel.

[@majbrat]

LoL Floor is Dutch so they call the thing she does with her hair her Windmills ;)

[@jimharris367]

Awesome job again gentlemen 🤘

[@TheJama64]

Ghost River (Wacken 2013).

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Again a great reaction, thanks guys : ) .Try "She is my sin" from the Wacken concert

[@JanickGers0]

Ghost River, Bless the Child, Dark Chest of Wonders, so many songs from that concert that are fucking epic. You can't really go wrong if you pick one from there.

[@keiththomas7180]

Great channel guys. Love the vids especially here in the UK now you are checking out symph metal. You have got to check out bands like Epica, Delain, Within Temptation, Xandria, Leaves Eyes, Arch Enemy with Alissa, Kamelot etc and early Nightwish with Tarja as their lead singer. Keep up the good work.

[@jonniiinferno9098]

aight - ima all cuaght up on your Nightwish reactions - glad you reacted to this one - subbed - the rest of the NW army is still enroute...

[@johncheek2415]

In the original studio version of this song the operatic part that Floor sings was done by a complete choir, as the singer at that time could not do the operatic voice. In fact in "Ghost Love Score" the last 90 seconds or so were redone by Floor and Thomas to take advantage of Floor's vocal range.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Thank you gentlemen for catching that slightly Pat Benetar vibe, I didn't before I like the song "Invincible" by her 😍😎👍

Literally just Floor Jansen “Oh Mio Babbino Caro”

[@gmanwaseverywhere2104]

Unbelievable the way Floor performs. But if I could be in Nightwish, I'd want to be JUKKA! He is ferocious the way he literally stalks his drum. Unreal. And the guy who isn't reacting at all, must be deaf, a narc, or an over protective parent who bought his kid a ticket and hadda go watch. LOL!

[@Arakki]

Fun fact, none of the songs on Wacker 2013 DVD are written for Floor. They were all written for the previous two leads.

[@TheBandSShow]

I tried to listen to some of them on spotify- then went immediately for the live album with the wacken 2013 and 2015 bits!

[@nemo5621]

You might as well resign to the fact that you will be reacting to every song from Wacken 2013. There's not a bad song in the entire show. Floor was still very new to the band; in fact she wasn't even an official member when this was filmed.

[@TheBandSShow]

We are totally cool with that. And that's amazing, really.

[@0408andreas]

Yes and no song written to her.... but she make every song to her own thing :-)

[@Wriwnas1]

@@TheBandSShow actually they dropped their previous singer mid tour, called Floor and THANK THE METAL GODS she did join them for the remaining shows and the rest is history. There is actually a documentary called "please learn the set list in 48 hours" because that is what they asked of her and what she did. Goddess on earth...

[@kagekenturo]

ok so alot of people seem to over look that the entire imaginaerum album was a concept album ghost river, story time, i want my tears back and a few others all came from this album and the reason its listed as a concept album is not only did they make the album but there was an entire movie shot around the album and it gives so much more context to all the songs especially to song of myself in the wacken concert you only get to see the phrase "and there forever remains the change from G to E minor " on the screen behind them at the end of the song and the movie "imaginaerum " gives that meaning and context you dont really get from the album or the concerts i really suggest watching it unfortunately it was all done long before floor sooo you will have to settle for anette olzon its still very good though

Ah Floor and her WINDMILLING (she is Dutch), for whatever reason there is nothing sexier to a male metal-head than a woman headbanging/windmilling!!!! I swear she could of knock over all 80,000+ Wacken metal-heads with the force of that hair!!! What is really remarkable is she does it with such force and for such a long period of time and then comes out of it and right back into singing full blast, me I would need to be resuscitated and put into traction first (LOL). Great reaction as always guys and the lane analogy is perfect, cause I hope Floor doesn't drive like she sings (changing lanes without signaling and doing it a lot!!!!(LOL)!!!! Hey looking to get another great young teen band some love (You did Asterism and I am so grateful) but how about 3 teen sisters from Mexico (The Warning) a truly passionate and joyful group that make you feel about music the way you did as a teen yourself. Independent and write and perform their own music which is amazing, try Dust to Dust (intro to the concept album) and watch Pau "assault" the drums while Dany on guitar and Ale on bass harmonize and drive this song home (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipask3puo9CCn7c)!! Finally, how about thrash metal teens from New Zealand who sing in their native Maori tongue (4% of the population only can speak it) and they sing about the trials and tribulations of their ancestors with anger and passion, keeping their indigenous culture alive today through metal in hopes of stopping it's eradication tomorrow!! Truly admire these kids and this video teaches a little history while they are at it!! Kai Tangata (Official Video) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zaep58a7F5esU). Love the channel guys please keep it up!!!

Been a few lately with little to no pausing. I say they go for it and see what happens.

[@argantyr5154]

The easist way to avoid copyright and still maintaining a flow, is t lyrics on and pause after each "chapter" and talk a bit there. That way they'll get the oppotunity to see the lyrics, having a natural pause.

Her WINDMILL game is STRONG

[@alstlew]

The Greatest Show On Earth at Tampere. Phantom of the Opera from the End of an Era Concert sung by their original singer Tarja in their last concert together before she was fired. Poet and the Pendulum was written by Tuomas to deal with his depression arising from the firing of Tarja, who was a long time friend where he commits suicide through the song rather than in real life. If you like Marco singing, he does a song called Smile While Your Lips Are Still Red. Sleeping Sun by Tarja is awesome. My Walden is Celtic in feel. She's My Sin is heavier. Nemo is a good song. Not even sure when to stop. Lol.
