REACTING to NIGHTWISH (7 Days To The Wolves - Live At Wembley Stadium) 🐺🔥👊

I believe I speak for the Nightwish army when I say the more reactions you do the happier we will all be 😁 Trust me, we will never get tired of watching. Oh and I just love your analysis and the joy on your face when you see something amazing.

[@caringancoystopitum4224]

You know, you are right! I have noticed that they obviously enjoy playing on stage, but only after your comment have I realized, that this was somehow missing before... I mean, they always have been professionals before, and they hopefully had fun doing their shows, but it shows much more now!

[@darkiee69]

It's because Floor is THERE, in the moment, with them. Sometimes Tarja seemed to be somewhere else when she was on stage. And Anette had stage fright, or was very nervous when she was on stage.

[@honestbenny]

@@darkiee69 Not to mention there was absolutely no way she could keep up with Marco if he went full out, which was also sad cause Marco had to hold off to not overshadow "lead singer". No more problem with Floor, he can just go all out and she will always keep up and go even higher if needed. Annette was a failure of singer, because singer is as good as he/she is on live.

Q

[@OmeGardian]

THEORY: so, this is how a song is composed, these are the rules.. TUOMAS: oh sorry, I wasn´t paying attention.. anyway, here is what I call a proper music:

[@ArimoDave]

I think it was J.S. Bach (or other equally famous composer) once said something to the effect "Learn all the rules so you know how to break them." Tuomas does generally follow rules, and likewise breaks them for specific effect, and does it surprisingly well.

[@branislavfx]

​@@ArimoDave "Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist." Pablo Picasso ♥

[@Ithirahad]

Music theory doesn't really say what the rules are; it's not an orthodoxy unless applied too narrowly or generally incorrectly. Theory more quantifies how it comes to be that certain things sound the way they do. How you use it is up to you.

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

There is only one thing every Nightwish fan, new and old, can agree to hate. Not having discovered them earlier in life.

[@SandraNelson063]

FYI: Troy is a BARD. Full on. "It's almost annoying." Oh, you made me chuckle! You want to be jealous, but you enjoy what they do so much! If it makes you feel any better, Tuomas been SERIOUSLY doing this for over 20 yrs, fanatically devoted to perfection. The inside of his head must be a vast swirling galaxy the size of the Milky Way. He has entire solar systems in there. All full of music. Which, you know, doesn't leave room for much else. And can I just shout out for Floor? She is trail blazing for a lot of young female singers, showing them that they can be more than just something pretty to look at on stage. Floor OWNS her power, her great talents and dedication to training. She is a force to be reckoned with, an equal partner on the stage. Yeah, she's smokin' hot. But she's more than a stage ornament.

[@kdbadk]

He has such oceans within.

[@black4pienus]

Tuomas is a perfectionist. I can only imagine how happy he was with Floor also being a perfectionist. I saw old footage of Floor getting ready for a show in Finland. They asked Tuomas to say something about Floor joining the band. The only thing he said was: "Floor is home." Awww. :)

[@Pitchblackbones]

I was going to say the same thing, it's almost unfair to other bands how much talent these guys have between them, it's simply ludicrous. And you're right, he does have such oceans within. What a line, what a line. 🖤 God, that whole part of the song just absolutely guts me. Can't hear a playthrough without crying like a baby. It's like Devin Townsend's "spirits will collide". It hits you right in the guts. There's no avoiding it.

I really appreciate how you're giving shoutouts to Emppu on the guitar. As I watch these different reactions, he tends to go unnoticed because he's not as show-offy as some lead guitarists may be, with long wailing solos and whatnot... But I do love the richness he's bringing to the music and I absolutely adore his riffs. His are among some of my most favourite in all of metal. So, props for giving Emppu his just props! :D

@@forgalzz7 I definitely agree with you, totally blind videos are my preference like 98% of the time, but in my personal opinion, the *content* of Poet is far, far too important to just coast through it like people do with their first listen through of most songs. Too much context, too much emotional baggage and history. It does both the reactor and the song a supreme disservice, because it's SO important that people understand what's going on in that one.

To sum it up in as few words as possible - "What was that all about, I have so many question after seeing this..."

[@jackstorm5649]

Emppu uses a D tuning on every thing since Century Child. Previous to that he would use two different guitars depending on the song. So on early stuff if the guitar is purple it is D if it is white it is E or standard.

Comment at 8:12 **Troy just standing in the back, hardly noticed that he is singing back-up by 98% of reactors...ever** 😆 Yes, he was singing on the chorus.

[@TaverenTech]

Yeah Chase and Elizabeth Zharoff are about the only ones that pickup on Troy so quickly. As much as I really like Julia, I think Elizabeth is a better reactor.... especial her serious giggles, nerdy responses about science, and facial expressions. I've watch a lot of reactors too. There is an older composer dude (Doug Helvering) that really picks up on the time signatures, key changes, et. al. I think Chase is one of the best overall reactors. I have to admin that out of the maybe 50 reactors to GLS, 10 of them provided useful technical information about GLS (like Tank the Tech) that give a more complete understanding of everything.

[@Estherr94]

I always loved the line "Turn every poet loose", and the way Floor just DECLARES it in this rendition raises it to a whole another level. She is so god damn powerful. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate just how long she windmill headbangs non-stop in the part before that?

[@clumsyturtle8544]

Before you get to the BIG TWO ( Poet and the pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth) Big because they are both over ten minuets. I think you need to see: I want my tears back (Live at Wacken) Shows more of Troys talents and a new side you have yet to see. Dark Chest of wonders (Wacken) A kickass opener for more of that metal goodness. Wish I Had An Angel (Wacken) For more Floor and Marco harmonies. The Islander (live at Tampere) Beautiful Marco showpiece. While your lips are still red (live at Wembley) One of Nightwish's slower songs and great vocals by Marco. Nemo and Ever Dream (both at Wacken) mainly because they are two very popular songs and the whole Wacken show is gold. Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley 2015) Proper grows from Floor in this one. Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean (live in Buenos Aries) A very old song reborn but it's a must see. It is insane. Dead Boy's Poem (live Buenos Aries) Another old song redone. Very emotional performance. Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley) For me personally it's the guitar riff that does it for me. There's probably some I missed but then I think you are good to go on THE BIG TWO. After that you can jump into their new album which i can't get over how well it is made, I think you will love it and would be able to talk for hours about it.

I've always thought Nightwish had a proggy influence to them. There's something very sneaky and subtle about the way Tuomas writes music. You can tell by all the attention put into the details that he really knows what he's doing and that he's also got the good fortune to have band members around that are excellent musicians in their own right. It's not showing off but below the surface you can see that they're secretly stupidly good musicians, they just don't feel the need to overplay. Which makes even more complex pieces like this one (structurally it's just like - wow) or Song of Myself all the more impressive, because at first sight you don't realize there's so much stuff going on. It doesn't hurt their vocalist is one of the most talented women around either. Also, their hometown in Kitee has a museum dedicated to these guys run by their former music teacher.

Floor does this also, in particular in her Beste Zanger performances (I can't remember which ones this moment). They're both already good, they already have your attention, but it's like they're making craft choices which edge you closer and closer to the front of your seat listening to them.

And one of the most satisfying things in watching the reaction videos is when someone sees (or hears in this case, the music is the key) your favourite stuff for the first time and just loves it. You kind of get to live the first time again (which in this case is great, some other cases... maybe not 🤣).

[@rodgerlang884]

I was late to the Nightwish party myself. Making up for lost time here. I love you analyses as there’s the right combination of pure reaction and knowledge dropping. I can’t wait for more

[@rolandmertens1604]

Nightwish may be the best at what they do, but what I'm concerned you're the best at what you do! Love your reactions. Me myself am a big Nightwish fan and I really like your breakdowns of the songs. Don't bother to push that pause button 'cause you really got something to say about what happens. Keep it up! 🤘🎼🎶🔊🤪

[@Kaizy]

My new favourite Nightwish reactions, not many of these can tell me something new and interesting after listening to this stuff hundred times over with various commentaries from various vocal coaches, musicians etc. Yet, here it is. Can not wait for more! Mr. Carneson, prepare to be frustrated even more, there is no coming back now :D.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Appreciate the support.

[@jopes4855]

Another enjoyable reaction, you are like Nightwish, you never fail!

[@ChaseCarneson]

That's a massive compliment. Thank you for the support.

[@Wollie1979]

Yeah with a smile on my face...thats litteraly what happens when I hear every single masterpiece of Nightwish....plus some goosebumps every now and then 😀

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

Don’t feel bad for us. Seeing someone new to Nightwish enjoy them as much as we do is a real buzz

[@dandeakins4542]

Great stuff, Chase. Troy (plays the pipes, acoustic, whistles etc) was brought in as a guest and touring musician when Nightwish started recording Dark Passion Play (2007) - the album this song is from. He was also a guest musician on Imaginaerum (2011) and became a full time member of the band at the end of the world tour of that album in 2013 (the year of THAT Wacken show) . His background is Celtic, folk-rock and traditional music, and so Tuomas wanted him to add those elements into the band.

Nightwish: Expect the unexpectable...

[@danielosheigh4793]

OMG yes !!! LOVE it :-) SO good Chase, keep them coming ! Of course Floor is the Queen of the windmill, ....she is Dutch after all hahahahaha

You my friend are a great reactor, and your experience shows. Subscribed.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you for the support and kind words, Matt.

[@annemvd]

Love your reactions! Thank you!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Glad you like them! Thank you for supporting.

[@Thalarctos]

I hate you dude! Before finding your channel, all I knew was that I liked the bands and songs you're reacting to but never really understood why. Now with your breakdowns and insights I'm spending a LOT more time analyzing everything I listen to. On one hand, I can't thank you enough and on the other, I'm exhausted from trying to understand every nuance of every song I come across. Regardless, my appreciation and love for all different kinds of music has been greatly enhanced thanks to you. Keep making my mind melt my friend!

[@ChaseCarneson]

😂😂😂 I appreciate you, Tyrone!!!

[@marcovanloon6431]

It's never enough :-). A couple of years ago I became a fan by getting captured by one song and leaving me with the feeling I needed more. Ended up listening through the night... I just can't get enough! In my view, they are the best out there :-). Enjoying your reactions a lot. Keep it up! I'll be looking forward :-)

[@ChaseCarneson]

More coming VERY soon.

[@lowroar5127]

7 days to the wolves is fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@zatanna9070]

I love how you can pick out the small stuff on the first listen! I’d love to see you react to I want my tears back, and hear what you have to say about it😁

[@ChaseCarneson]

It's on the list. Coming soon. Thanks so much for the support.

[@svenriedel6328]

Very nice Reaction.. have a Wish : shudder before the beautiful same Show😉

[@Idefixu]

I agree! They opened the show with "Shudder" both at Wembley and Tampere. What an opener it is. Both versions are great. I like what Floor is wearing at Wembley, so that would be my choice. I love the duel between Tuomas and Emppu, taking turns with their solos. The keyboard solo sound is hilarious.

[@samisrandomstuff2128]

Agree, it is great opener, really makes you wish you had been there

[@jan-ovewallgren5221]

You are THE best.. you hear Howe Good they are 👍

[@ChaseCarneson]

You're the best 💪

[@gayleeidson6724]

You really DO feel like you're galloping toward the end of a gigantic cliff !!!! Running for your Life ! So epic and of course, Your reaction is s

[@jormapihlaja3574]

Firstly thank you your deeply thoughts and knowledge, you share! Deep Silent Complete live Buenos Aires might be one of the next experiences for you to enjoy wtih us.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you for the support and kind words. Loads more to come

[@jormapihlaja3574]

@@ChaseCarneson there is so much diversity in their music in a good way and wait until you hear this new album Human I Nature, full of surprises around every transitions and Tribal... That is something out of this world in every way. It is really nice to see other peoples reaction and same time listening those experiences again with same passion over again and wondering Tuomas's mind structure...

[@countgeekula9143]

Brilliant reaction and analysis as always. I get so much out of these. So much new knowledge and joy about a band I already love and have been listening to for nearly two decades. Thank you. ☺

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you!!!

[@brothergrief9531]

Loved your reaction, thank you for a new perspective on Nightwish.

[@Vigilanis]

Great reaction as always - I am by no means a guitar expert nor do i play that well, but the info for Emppu's guitars are as follows: Emppu has tuned his studio guitars in D tuning since the release of Century Child (2002) - until then, his guitars were tuned in standard. During concerts, he has two guitars - one for each tuning - In 2004 Vuorinen started using an ESP custom shop version of the Horizon known as the EV-1. The EV-1 has an alder body, maple neck (neck through construction), ebony fingerboard, Seymour Duncan pickups (a Duncan Custom TB-5 in the bridge, a SHR-1n Hot Rails in the middle, and a SH2-n Jazz in the neck), 5 way switch, single volume control and a gold Floyd Rose tremolo system. He regularly used two during live shows, a purple one tuned to DGCFAD and a white one tuned to EADGBE. After the release of Dark Passion Play in 2007 he toured with a new signature guitar, the EV-2. This was very similar to the purple EV-1, but now had a tone control and a large decal on the body known as the "Harem Girl". The third incarnation of the series, the EV-3 appeared in 2012 featuring the Imaginaerum cover art and no middle pickup. On the band's 2012/13 Imaginaerum World Tour, Vuorinen used the EV-1 and EV-3. During rehearsals for Nightwish's eighth album Emppu has been using a new custom guitar, built for him by Ruokangas Guitars Hope that helps shed some light on his set up mate.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thanks, Paul.

[@NickBR57]

Revisiting my third favourite NW song, how much I do appreciate these "old" Nightwish reactions of yours. I'm going to have to go through the whole playlist because your anslyses are so good. Hope you're doing well and on track again Chase.

[@ChantalLalonde]

I love how you break down the music. Don’t worry about going back in the song. At the beginning when you talked about how the song started, I was hoping would start from the beginning. You picked up on something I didn’t even think about and I wanted to hear. Thank you for a great reaction and looking forward to the next Nightwish reaction.
