Emppu, the guitarist, typically wanders all over the stage, both offering encouragement to the other members, as you saw, and playing practical jokes. During one piece at this same concert, he walked by and turned off Floor's in-ears. Of course she recovered quickly but it was a cute moment. Floor has been known to respond in kind. You noticed that Emppu drinks Corona. Floor has dumped his bottle and replaced it with apple juice, which he despises. Quite the surprise on stage! The bottom line is, these people love one another. It's heartwarming to watch them over time.

For a Story: Emppu(Guitar) likes to turn off Floor's(vocalist) in ear during certain pieces. She has responded at various points by switching out his beers with apple juice, which he has spit out near equipment so they had to tone it back since there is a ton of equipment on stage. During "I Want my Tears Back" Wacken 2013 you can see Emppu tell Troy (multi-instrumentalist and vocals, not on stage for Ghost Love score) that he is going to turn off Floor's monitor at about 3:45. Emmpu then turns off her monitor at ~3:58, 4:02 she reaches back to turn it on, 4:04 Troy shakes his head cause he really did it. At 4:28 she does a spin as Emppu passes behind her again to keep an eye on him. In front of a crowd of 82,000, they are still messing around. As another note to the character of the band, the DVD for the Wacken 2013 show has the names of the German tour bus drivers in the credits. Not just them, but the full crew and a lot more people than are normally mentioned by bands in their credits.

There's a few epic songs that should be reserved for later after you've gotten to know the band and their history. This would include Poet and the Pendulum, and The Greatest Show on Earth. Then you can diverge off into some amazing side paths including The Islander (Live from Tampere), The Phantom of the Opera (End of an Era) featuring their original lead singer, High Hopes (Live Pink Floyd cover). Then come back for some more classics like Dead Boy’s Poem. Eventually you can start to check out their stuff from their newest album, or maybe wait for live versions.

I'm also a student of orchestration and really love that element of Nightwish's music and Tuomas's genius. Really glad to hear your appreciation for the interlude that a lot of people just want to get through. It's the rare rock or metal concert where you get to hear a bass clarinet! Nightwish is one of the rare bands (for me) where the live performances are often better than the studio recordings: except in regard to really hearing the orchestral elements. The studio versions allow one to hear the entirety of Tuomas's thoughts, and in conjunction with the unsurpassed energy of the live shows (I've had the good fortune to attend 3 Nightwish concerts) allow for the total experience. Given your own field, I think you would really get a lot out of the newest album 'Human :II: Nature.' Not only great music, but the orchestral elements and compositional genius blow me away. You will also really love The Greatest Show on Earth for similar reasons. Another one that I would say to listen to the studio recording after hearing the live (Tampere concert is the best) performance. I'm very much looking forward to following your journey with this spectacular band!

Tuomas, the keyboardist and main composer for Nightwish is a big fan of movie soundtracks. His favorite composer is Hans Zimmer. He would love to be involved in writing movie score in the future. Nightwish is playing to a Pro Tools click track which also includes a full backing track from the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Metro Voices Choir. When they play indoor gigs you are able to better hear the details of the backing tracks. There is so much more to hear from this amazing symphonic metal band my friend. I too have written some songs in my day, but Tuomas is a master at using cinematic soundtrack techniques in his metal songs. Nightwish does some very heavy music, but they also do many softer songs with interesting musical compositions. Tuomas loves to use key changes as well as time signature changes, along with extreme dynamics to add dramatic impact to his music. He is also a wonderful poet, which he incorporates into his music as well. He loves poetry from some of the masters, such as Whitman, Thoreau, and Byron. We lovingly like to refer to him as The Metal Mozart. I loved your reaction and have the utmost respect for you and others of your profession. It is such a momentous achievement to be able to obtain so much musical knowledge. Understanding all of the color of the different instruments and how to weave that magic tapestry together as a whole. It must be such a thrill to hear you compositions played live/or recorded for the first time by a full orchestra and/or other musical textures including electric instrumentation, vocalists, and possibly choirs. I loved your analysis and commentary of this reaction video. I look forward to additional reactions to my favorite band. Just subbed for the ride. Hope you cold improves and enjoy the ocean.

When I first heard from Nightwish, it was the year 2004. They came around with a single called "Nemo". It took me instantly into the world of Symphonic Metal. I fell in love with this huge combination of hard rock, symphonic parts and an opera singer. I had no idea that Nightwish were active for years at this moment. I never heard from them before. But I was sure I MUST have the album. So, I went to buy the album when it came out. What an album! "Once" is its name. But I had no idea what was on it. Yeah, "Nemo", of course. The follow-up single "Wish I had an angel", of course. But also "Ghost Love Score". This chorus! So fat, so complete, so over everything that I have ever heard. And I was sure, nobody can sing it better than Tarja Turunen. But sadly she left the band. I have no memory of her successor, Anette Olzon. But, man, then came Floor Jansen. Well, I didn't know much, but I knew she was a great singer. But could she stand "Ghost Love Score" since this is their masterpiece? Well, she sang everybody and everything to the ground. What a singer! Can you imagine that she is also able to do death growls? Like somebody commented here: Tuomas: "What vocal range?" Floor: "Yes" "Ghost Love Score" is such a great song. There is no better rock song in my opinion. And now I can say, nobodycan sing this song better than Floor.

Just the fact that they have fun with eachother on stage, shows what a good vibe they have as a band @v_pollard correct, she had been with them for 10 months, replacing Anette who had health issues and couldn't continue touring. At the end of the year she was officially announced as being a full member of the band. Wacken was, I believe, their first major concert with her as lead vocalist.

[@gfkma]

You comment about it being cinematic is spot on. The keyboard player is their composer and in an interview he mentions his liking of film scores as what he calls contemporary classical music. Great stuff!

[@inyathiproductions]

Tuomas is such a master of set ups. He grows things in such a measured and intelligent way.

[@thra-x1855]

ive seen this performance reacted to about a hundred times and most of them i just skip to 'that one note' but yours i watched the whole way through because i know you'll have something insightful to say. and you didnt disappoint.

[@alexchubokas5273]

On a compositional level you should check out Nightwish The Greatest Show in Earth. It’s over 20 minutes long but has a ton of awesome orchestral and instrumental music going on

[@Pfaeff]

"The Greatest Show on Earth" is Tuomas' (Nightwish's keyboardist and writer) compositional masterpiece. You should check it out. It's very long, though, but definitely worth it. There is also an awesome live version of it. That song still gives me goosebumps every time I see it live.

[@jurgenolivieira1878]

Floor is a Dutch deity she comes from Friesland (northern North sea coast province) where the ancestry is most close to the Norwegian/Nordic Vikings! Her version of The Phantom of the Opera with Dutch opera singer Henk Poort is a thing top behold. It catapulted her already insane career into warp speed and re-energized Henk's career as well. It went crazy viral some years ago and Henk ended up doing a tour with Nightwish where they re-did their Phantom of the Opera song with huge crowds. Also fulfilling one of Henk's youth dreams of singing in a rock/metal band. Floor also released here first solo album shortly after.

[@BlackieNuff]

People have often cited "Pirates of the Caribbean" or other similar "epic battle" scenario... GoT also applies...

[@ericwilliams3413]

Nightwish is one of those rare bands that sounds WAAAAY better live than they do in the studio. They were meant to perform live

[@Budjettimatka]

Storytime is also one of the cinematic songs. And everything from the Wacken 2013 show is good, because of the good work they did. Wembley 2015 is really good one too.

I can't help it. I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song, no matter if it is a reaction or the song it self.

[@AleksandarGospic]

Nightwish army is here! 😁🤘 I will never get tired of seeing people experiencing Nightwish for the first time! 😅 Loved your reaction! I've seen so many but you brought something different and your own! I hope you will do some more because this is one of the best bands on the planet and if you are a composer then what can one say, in Nightwish we have metal Mozart called Tuomas Holopainen, I'm sure you want to see more! :)

I guess you would like Ayreon "The day that the world breaks down" with the explanations by the composer, guitarist, bassist, keyboarder, mastermind "Arjen Lucassen" and 11 fantastic singers plus flute, cello, piano, violin and a story.

Agree, and I'll add to that a short song from Ayreon called "The valley of the queens", with 3 epic voices (including Floor).

[@andrewwilson45]

Great reaction brother. I love watching people with some knowledge seeing this for the first time. Its staggering... the finale still gives me chills and wet eyes. Cheers man😎

[@АлексейДавиденко-т4с]

What I liked the most about your analysis of the composition, apart from all the professional comments on the music and vocal techniques, is the way you reacted at the end. I mean the emotional reaction. I'm a quite a sensitive person myself, and this combination of musical and singing strain at the end gave me the same reaction of emotional catharsis. That's what real art does. Thank you for this video. Definitely liked it!

[@nicod1361]

Hey Geebz, you have just experienced the most reacted to song in YT reaction history! this amazing seminal performance at Wacken 2013 cemented the phenomenal Floor Jansen's position as their 3rd,current & final singer, every song is GOLD, stay with Live performances they are rare & actually better that way, welcome to an experience you have just a small taste of. cheers

[@Catmanxii]

I've spoken with several who have been to various large outdoor concerts of this band & they all say how stunning the level of production is in quality, but the boss of this band, the keyboards player, has a reputation for demanding only the very best of everything & everyone.

[@jamesanderson5268]

You'll notice they have a backing track of the London Philharmonic Orchestra with a choir also. Tuomas also wrote the music and lyrics for the backing track. He's a musical genius. I don't think they have a bad song. Their concert at Wacken in 2013 was the best recorded concert IMHO.

[@justinchristoph3725]

When Tuomas Holopainen added Floor to Nightwish, he created the perfect storm.

[@michaelwanklin3580]

Freaking enjoyed your reaction. PLEASE PLEASE continue on the NIGHTWISH journey BROTHER you will not be disappointed. Any song by this band is a treasure.

[@iamsuzanne73]

Floor can sing anything from opera to death growls! The best vocalist in the world if you ask me. Her versatility is beyond anything you have heard. You are in for the ride of your life. 🤘🏻

[@charleshornbeak9078]

Alright Geebz, you just heard a band of many colors. In that I mean, you never know what sound you'll get, mild to wild, sadness to beautiful, anger to love. I hope you continue this nightwish journey. Love your comments and explanations. Good job dissecting

[@KeyOfGeebz]

FOR SURE!! 🤙🤙

It's so much more interesting to see ppl who actually knows what they are talking about reacting, than the "random no clue youtuber reacts". Key has an interesting view on the production and composing side of things that I really enjoy. Knowing the difficulties behind such performances besides their abilities to play instruments and sing is making it so much more enjoyable.

[@christinaalgate4899]

82,000. This is number 13 out of 15 of the setlist. Floor is amazing and so are the guys. It's just Emppu being Emppu. Tuomas writes the song and then gives the other members their parts of the song. Tuomas is Awesome. Taped orchestra. Floor can growl also

[@suzysobrinho2921]

It's nice to see a composer who really appreciates talented musicians and singing instead of picking it apart like I saw another composer reacting to this did. He did give some credit to Floor but not enough to the band and the quality of the composition. Thanks!

[@sethwood6501]

You know its gonna be a good one when you see them mouthing the count and that slightly puzzled look during intro.

[@hiawatha.g]

Nightwish brought me here. Congrats on discovering them, there is a good chance they will rearrange your life a little.

[@miaknecht]

They do use tracks, there is a protools machine running for the whole show spitting out the backing tracks and the click track - you can line up any of the concerts and the tempo is always identical, just the quantity and volume of backing track changes with time.

[@BrowFurrowed]

I implore you, listen to the non-live version, the subtle composition of the choir and orchestra is gorgeous. They de-emphasize it a little live, understandably. When it comes up in my car and I pull into the garage I cannot get out of my car until the 10 minutes of perfection ends. Every oboe, violin, and trumpet note is tattooed on my mind. For variety perhaps listen to Tarja's version, the original singer, both are fantastic, with different talents.

[@Skraeling1000]

YES! You did it! Woot!

[@Raging_Duck]

"Oh wait, let me come back" - this is what I like about this reaction channel and makes it different. It really helps to connect the parts of song together and it is great

Thank you! Please more of the insight views. Immediately Subscribed :)

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Wow, thanks! 🤙🤙

[@domfol5515]

Welcome to Nighwish! Toumas ( the keyboards) is the main writer and I would say composer of pretty much all of nighwish music. I believe he’s right up there with the best of all time. I think he doesn’t just write music, he writes poetic, emotional and deep thought. The poet and the pendulum is a beautiful example of this. I would suggest researching the meaning of the song first, before hearing it, to really understand what Toumas is expressing with this song.

[@hugehappygrin]

Even with your technical skills you still had a Floor-gasm. Our queen has stolen another heart.

[@tipitii7388]

I think Nightwish found Floor at the end of a 🌈, she’s pure gold!❤️

[@christomashofski9160]

The orchestrations are recorded for Nightwish by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and the gospel choir is provided by Metro Voices of London. In some songs they also use a children's choir. These studio recordings are then used as timing and backing tracks and also (I would imagine) because it is prohibitively expensive to drag an entire big-name orchestra around with you on a world tour that touches dozens of countries and hundreds of venues. The keyboardist (Tuomas Holopainen - pronounced "two-oh-MOSS hollow-PINE-nen") is the band founder, composer, and poet. There are a few songs in their discography in which some others collaborated, particularly the Viking-beard bassist (Marco Hietala - pronounced "hee-ETTA-lah") who also provides excellent vocals in some songs spanning the range from metal growls to beautiful, clean, classical opera. But Tuomas basically writes pretty much everything including the LPO orchestra parts.

[@amherstburgerpicker5786]

Dude welcome to Nightwish, I see Gabriel commented, he's your go to guy for all things Nightwish. Just briefly, yes, Floor is an amazing singer and the band is simply incredible...there is an orchestra and choral backing off stage. The rest I'll leave to the Nightwish Army
