[@matiasbelmonte4576]

Don't get me wrong...but Nightwish with Tarja used to have such an epicness and the music was written as if it were made for fantasy movies or videogames lol. Amazing band!

[@Diavolo222]

yeah the old tarja music fit a lot of video game frag movies like Counter-strike etc.

funny you should mention fantasy movies since a lot of their songs are based off of Draganlance books which is a DnD setting lol

[@soundocean3765]

For once I don't have time at the weekend and for once someone reacts to my very favourite version of this amazing song. Great xD Anyway, thank you so much for choosing this one!! It's actually the most powerful version IMHO, both because Tarja is in her most powerful style here which, like others mentioned before, fits the song perfectly, and because of the way this one is mixed - especially the super intense pyros at the beginning and the end. Super glad you enjoyed this one! ♥ Have a damn good, well, week? xD

[@Flistatec]

Kinslayer will forever be my personal introduction to the world of Nightwish. Sometime in the early 2000s, like a lot of kids my age back then, I was playing counterstrike. This song was used, at a minimum, in any other frag montage back then. It just sounded so different and really sent me down the rabbit hole that is Nightwish back then. Online gaming left my life (or changed focus), but Nightwish sure as hell stayed with me.

Anonymous post 2010: This is directly from the nightwish website (parts in {} are my additions: link to site: www.nightwish.com/en/article/7 The Kinslayer On April 20th, 1999 two teenagers, Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold went to Columbine High School, in Colorado with handmade bombs and shotguns, with intention to kill as many of their schoolmates as possible. As they entered the school, they started shooting and throwing bombs everywhere, killing 9 boys {Lyrics: 9 blue ones}, 4 girls {Lyrics: 4 pink ones} and finally themselves {Lyrics:2 black ones}. This was carefully planned for over a year, and these guys were determined to kill also themselves afterwards. They had no real motive. They made a videotape in the morning just before the massacre where they said: "We are going to kill you all. You have been giving us shit for years. We want to say our sorry for our parents; there's nothing you could have done. This is something we must do. We're sorry; we didn't like life very much..." The event is something I will never understand. If something as horrible as this can happen in this world, there's no sense, no truth to cling to anymore. I find there's a great deal of symbolism hidden in this happening. The dialogue in the middle of the song quotes the actual phrases between the killers and their schoolmates during the shooting. (According to those who survived)"

I think that Tarja's more dramatic voice fits this song very well. The song is about the Columbine mass shooting and for depicting such a tragical event a classical voice is more powerful than contemporary singing. Btw. the studio version is better.

Si, pero prefiero la version en buenos aires.

I swear, Chase. You have to watch High Hopes live from the End of the Era concert. It's an amazing cover. Emmpu has incredible guitar playing in it. Jukka is phenomenal on the drums. Tuomas is rocking the keyboard, and Marco absolutely kills the vocals. It's in my top 5 favorite lives from Nightwish. Plus, they all just put on an amazing performance.

I do not know if you have reacted to Slow Love Slow by Nightwish before, but if you have not, I think it will be a good opportunity for you to hear a rather different side of Nightwish.

[@hephesto555666]

Enjoy pretty much all the Nightwish stuff, but this earlier stuff and the shows will always have a special place in my heart. Besides of course the classic rock and metal stuff, the Finnish and Swedish scene had a massive impact on my musical development. The Gothenberg scene and CoB / Nightwish run through my music collection till this day. Plus the old Nightwish shows were awesome, not in the least as they had a tendency to drag other, smaller bands along with them across Europe. Heck that's how I got introduced to Sonata Artica and probably what got Wilska to go from roadie to vocalist, which probably led to my two favourite Finntroll albums. Ah good times!

[@vero9177]

@Hephesto, right!! True, same feeling here. Last live concert i visited before everything on hold because of covid was SONATA ARCTICA in december 2019.and they in turn dragged other band with them: Temple Balls. Young band,but good oldfashioned Rock. Helping them on the rails it seems. I do enjoy music and performance of them also very much. Nice guys to talk to after the gig also

[@alexhuiban47]

I know it's going to be different genres but I'm looking forward to a reaction for Tuomas Holopainen - A Lifetime of Adventure (at least you should be aware of his solo album). Great reaction, insightful as always for one of the classic Nightwish songs.

Oh yes!! Kinslayer, one of my favourite! Tarja's voice feels haunting, with the instrumental played together with the vocals

[@Thorgrim247]

Tuomas wrote this song about the infamous and tragic school shooting at Columbine High in Colorado on April 20, 1999. One teacher and 12 students were massacred by two students who committed suicide. An additional 24 people were injured but survived. It musically paints the picture of re-enacting the actual incident. It the second half the recorded voice is saying what some of the killers are reported to have said to their victims before they killed them. In the Buenos Aries 2018 show, Marko does these lyrical pieces. It is also recorded much better. Great job as usual Chase. Hope you have a "Damn Good Day"! 😊🎶🎶🎶🤘🤘🤘✌

Up to Wishmaster album there is more keywork from Tuomas. That's because back then they couldn't afford to hire orchestra. They started to introduce orchestra on Century Child (and Tuomas paid for that with his own money). My request is - if you'd like to listen older songs, just listen it with Tarja. And by the way... just listen to this Phantom of the Opera (!).

[@riittaniemi6231]

One of my first Nightwish favorites since I saw them live in 2000 :) It was Kinslayer, She is my sin and Wishmaster that made me a fan.

[@TheJacksmen]

Fun facts: This song was written about the Columbine High School massacre. The background/guest vocal was Ike Vil. This was was there 2nd Promotional song of Wishmaster in 2020. I prefer the Tarja version as it was changed for Floor or it evolved pver 20yrs to be very different. Take a list here from the Decades tour.

Aw man, this really takes me back :) I remember having a bootleg copy of this DVD burned on an all black TDK CD (\m/) almost 20 years ago. I also distinctly remember watching this with my bros and some friends, arguing whether there were multiple vocals layered on top of Tarja's voice or if it was all in the synth. Really awesome concert, this and an early version of "Sacrament of Wilderness" (where Tarja had shorter, curly hair xD) were the first Nightwish videos I saw.

[@smashexentertainment676]

Good old days when Tuomas was writing epic music, every song was a catchy hit, sound was clean af without influence of Marco and Empuu's riffs were fire and he was allowed to play breathtaking solos (on Washburn CS-780). Still got my first 3 albums signed by all the team, including the whole From Wishes to Eternity DVD, been to 2 shows with Tarja (mega dope), one with Annette (bleh), been drinking with Empuu and Tuomas on one of the afterparties. Couldn't wish for better childhood. PS. Male vocals are pre-recorded. Dude, 2 minutes on google will tell you what this song is about, which will put the overall tone and lyrics into perspective and also will tell you where it comes from (hint: it's in the title!)

[@Songfugel]

Damn you youtube, why you not let me know about this video earlier! Anyway, I am so glad you decided to react to this super early version of Nightwish before Tarja started to save her voice live. Since pretty much no one had been doing what she is doing before them, she soon noticed that singing with a metal band on small stages with a classical technique is very hard and damaging to voice, since she can't properly hear and feel her own voice due to the loudness of the rest of the band. She had to come up with new technique that would help her sing close enough without her losing her voice by accident. While it was more stable and healthy voice, however, I personally feel, she didn't quite sound as good when she did that One thing to note however, is that video isn't 100% synced when it was cut and edited. There are a few points where you can see them playing/singing different part to where the song was at. This isn't lipsync (I don't think) but small mistake in editing

[@felipelara81]

PLEASE! Deep Silent Complete, Live if you can, it's such an amazing performance and song

[@embran8486]

I recommend Dead Gardens. Part of album Once (last one with Tarja). One of the heaviest song of Nightwish to date instrumentation wise. And rare absence of male secondary vocals.

[@Shoikan]

IMHO, Tarja shines with slower, more flowing melodies and lyrics (Sleeping Sun comes to mind, which she absolutely hits out of the park). She's not that good with fast staccato melodies and lyric lines like this one, she always comes across (for me at least) as 'rushed' as if she's always just a little bit late on the note. She can do it in the studio, because the album versions sound fine, but it falls down a bit on stage. Still, really like the song itself, personally :)

[@Mik_S]

I used to think the line "Good wombs hath borne bad sons" was "Good homes have warm back sides" Doesn't help after watching the misheard lyrics for Wishmaster video 😂🤣

[@gabrielinague3026]

Nice reaction! End Of An Era's performance of this song is way better and mature, especially for Tarja. By the way, always go to 1st option End Of An Era when reacting to a Tarja Era song - it's their best (and the last) recorded live show with her. The Siren (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5maZZebaqiIhck) and Dark Chest Of Wonders (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHKtkniEjNaYr5Y) should definately be with her instead of Floor...
