This drummer, Jukka, is the most entertaining drummer I've ever seen. I hope he's still doing well.

[@ThePms96]

I think same abaut Jukka🙃👌

[@paulmaxey6377]

As far as I know last I heard Jukka is well and still works with the band behind the scenes. Although he hadn't played in the band since around 2014, he didn't officially leave as drummer until 2019 when Kai, who was replacement drummer, was finally named as permanent drummer.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Jukka is doing well. Last I heard, in an interview in 2020, Tuomas said that Jukka had played in a few shows that were small shows in 2019, right before the pandemic hit. In that interview, Tuomas said that the band basically let Jukka take the lead on how many songs, and what songs, he wanted to play. Evidently, his favorite song to play is Last Ride of the Day. Tuomas also said that after the third or fourth time, Jukka really wants to come back to the kit, and get back onstage. But he also said that should that happen, every precaution imaginable would be taken to make sure Jukka's mental health would be looked after and taken care of. When I read that last bit, it's how I knew, right then and there, that Nightwish wasn't just a band, but a family. Because I am one of the many fans that wants to see Jukka return. And as much as Kai has stepped in and done an incredible job, I much prefer Jukka's playing style over Kai's. Given the interview was in French, it was one of the few times I was thankful for Google Translate. #IMissThePirate

You guys had that ending FLOORGASM!!!! This band and especially w/ Floor Jansen!!!

[@jukkahelminen9071]

It's great that you continue the Nightwish journey! Next? "Ever Dream" from this same concert at Wacken 2013. A little more musical Nightwish miracles.

[@chriso6719]

Every song at this Wacken (Vah-ken) show was written for one of the first 2 female singers. Floor had only been with the band about 10 months here, having taken over mid tour. This song is from the Anette era. She has more of a pop/rock style and didn't do operatic vocals, so those were done with the choir then. As you see, Floor can, so she took over those parts when she joined. Tuomas Holopainen (keyboardist and primary songwriter and composer) likes themes of stories and childhood innocence. he's also a fan of Disney and composer Hans Zimmer. Yes, it is like reading a new book, Tuomas is well read, and takes inspiration from many sources not normally used in metal music. Suggest Romanticide ,Everdream, or Song of Myself. All from Wacken 2013.

[@RNTV]

Thank you for the comment and future recommendations friend! I love Hans Zimmer 💚

[@dieseldog00]

You forgot the opening number, 200bpm 'Dark Chest Of Wonders', the fastest song in the setlist.

[@squalllionheart3453]

FLOOR commanding the ARMY,such a badass

[@HvdHaghen]

And at this time Floor was officially not even a member of the band. Eight months before this she took a plane to the US to fill in because the lead singer had left the band while they were touring the Americas. Floor sang the songs that were composed for the two former singers Tarja and Annette. This concert was the first time the European fans could see Nightwish with Floor Jansen. Now you know why the band members and the fans were so happy.

Nightwish is for me the best but others to give a listen to are: Sabaton - Sweden - Floor's husband Hannes is the drummer Unleash the Archers - Canada Within Temptation - Netherlands Visions of Atlantis - Austria The Warning - Mexico These are just a few of the groups I would suggest. Also, check out any of the Ayreon Project music. It is a supergroup with artists from many different bands including Nightwish. A good introduction would be The Day the World Breaks Down.

Great song and reaction. Ya'll are are about to go on a journey, buckle up. This is a deep one.

[@randymarple9830]

Great comments, great reaction. Tuomas, the keyboardist/composer has that smile because 10 months earlier, in the middle of the USA tour, the lead singer Anette, became ill. That and the friction between her and the band, caused the dismissal of Anette, and mid tour, without a lead singer. They called Floor, who they knew from After Forever and Revamp, and asked her if she would help them finish the tour. Floor had 48 hours to learn the setlist and fly from The Netherlands and join the band in Seattle. So...10 months later, there they are at Walken 2013, in front of 82,000 festival metalheads, playing the concert of the decade. The whole band is happy. Happy that the band didn't disband, and happy that Floor has been singing songs he wrote, that he was afraid might never be played again. So much more to learn about this Band. Happy to watch you take this journey!!!

Greatest live show you'll ever see. I saw them for the first time in NYC back in May and I thought I was prepared, and I was not. They are all so talented, the energy is so high, and Floor's voice and stage presence - blew me away. Greatest show I have ever seen in my life. I'm still stunned, months later. Will now see them any chance I get and wish I found them years ago! Storytime might be my favorite, but Everdream is right up there, as is Song of Myself, Romanticde. Ghost Love Score obviously. You can't go wrong though with anything they perform live.

Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer here...and he is performing here while he is not feeling well as he had been suffering for quite some time with severe insomnia. It was so bad he had to retire from playing with the band. He remained part of the band but handles the day to day stuff. But ya, he played awesome ...but when you consider he was suffering from severe insomnia at the time his performance is just that much more incredible! Kai Hahto took over for Jukka shortly after this (like in 2014) and became a permanent member of the band in 2019. Kai is just as phenomenal!

[@Ieeho98]

Great Reaction!! This song is more representative of Nightwish songs than Ghost Love Score, faster paced and more guitar. If you ever want to take a break from the Wacken 2013 songs, you should try a newer Nightwish song that Floor sang on their album. It's called How's The Heart. They did a regular video for the song, but the best way to listen to it is the acoustic version. You get to hear Floor's voice more clearly than when she's singing with the band. Her vocals will blow you away! Search. Nightwish How's The Heart Acoustic Live at Planet Rock.

[@Erfedwe]

So glad to see you continuing on your NW journey. You have so much more to look forward to. And even after you have heard many of the song, you can still experience them through the different eras and different singers. Tarja, Anette, and Floor all bring their own strengths and special talents to these songs. The studio version of Story Time w/Anette is still fantastic (although I do prefer the live version with Floor). Imagine how awesome it would be to see them live, then dial that up to 11. They put on one of the best live shows I have ever seen and I have been to well over 150 live concerts with some of the biggest artists of the past half century.

Thx for this reaction vid 🏆 And welcome to the journey of Nightwish. As you have the list of commander Gabriel - all links you need are available. The whole set list of Wacken 2013 contains phenomenal songs - you need to do them all. But now - after Storytime - I would suggest: Everdream (Wacken 2013)

[@mnewm21]

as everyone has said Tuomas writes the songs and gives a basic mapping out on keyboard of the song then each of the other band members creates their own parts, Emppu writes the guitar parts, Marco creates the bass lines, Jukka the drum fills and Floor looks at the vocal melody and works on the embelishments (or just how the hell you fit all the lyrics into the melody in some case!!) On occasion one of the other members has a song that fits the narrative that Tuomas has created and it will be added but I can only think of 4 or 5 in over 120 songs that this is the case. If you want a good look at the process they did a whole series of videos of the creation process for their album Endless Forms Most Beautiful which is quite fascinating as you don't often get to see a whole album creation process from conception through to tour.

[@wernergatterer2953]

Hi, i like your Nightwish reactions! This is one of my favorite Nightwish concert! After NW i like EPICA most, their singer Simone Simons and Floor are very good friends and they did some songs together, "Sancta Terra" or "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" for example. I think you two would like Epica, i would look from the virtual "Epica - Omega Alive" conzert they did last year one of this songs for first tine hearing, "The Skeleton Key", "Unchain Utopia" or "Kingdom of Heaven Part 3"!

Enjoyed your first Nightwish reaction...enjoyed this one, too, so subscribed to take this journey with you. Tuomas, the keyboard player, writes most of the music and lyrics. You really can't go wrong with any of these, and Gabriel's list is a great guide. As you move out of the Wacken 2013 comfort zone, you'll discover even more surprises...Marco, the bass player, with he long blond hair and beard, is also a fantastic singer (he has also left the band, so you'll see a different bass player from their most recent shows)...there is a sixth member of the band who only appears in a couple of songs in the Wacken 2013 show, but you'll see more of him in videos from subsequent shows, named Troy, and he plays all sorts of instruments, like Uilleann Pipes (Irish bagpipes), flutes, whistles, bouzouki (the thing everyone tries to call a mandolin), guitar, and he sings, as well...you'll see a different drummer in videos from shows after Wacken 2013...and mostly, that no two if their songs really sound the same. Looking forward to the next one!

This Wacken 2013 concert is still a blast to listen to. My favorite is Song of Myself inspired by Walt Whitman's poem with the same title. Looking forward your reaction to it! Another suggestion for a new band is Sabaton from Sweden. Their drummer Hannes van Dahl is Floor's husband. They live in Sweden with their 5 yr old daughter Freja. Sabaton's songs have all to do with wars, battles and persons who played a role in it. They have their own YT channel but also a phenomenal History Channel in which they explain the backgrounds of a lot of their songs. If you're interested please watch it, you may learn a lot haha. Song suggestions from them: Bismarck, Christmas Truce, The Great War. They make very good videos of their songs, amongst them quite a lot amazing animations! My favorite is Christmas Truce.

Never understood people's need to tear down other bands. Music, like all art, is very personal and highly subjective. I love both Nightwish and Epica. They are from the same genre but different and both amazing. Instead of putting down other bands state why you prefer one band. That is a more positive and valuable contribution to our discussion. Just watched Epica's 20th anniversary concert livestream yesterday. Magical. Just like when I saw Nightwish live in Boston in May.

Also concur on Unleashed live from Retrospect. Great introduction to Epica.

Wait until you hear Marko sing.

If my band desperately needed a vocalist mid-tour, and the replacement turned out to be Floor Jansen dialed to 11, I'd be smiling too.
