*REACTION* Nightwish - Storytime (WACKEN 2013)

[@gabriel.bardac]

Hello, I remember you three! It's been a month, but here you are back at Nightwish :) Thank you for a nice shout-out, but especially because you decided to continue exploring this true ocean of good music, composed and performed by this group of talented people for more than a quarter of a century already. Of course, you have a new subscriber here, in the hope that you will continue to explore. All the best, from Romania!

🫡 As always, general, a pleasure to see you here!

[@Aenea-de9vy]

Floor growling? Yours is an Empty Hope, at Wembley Arena. But you have to pay close attention, many reactors misses her growling, thinking that Marko (the bass player) does it.

[@HvdHaghen]

I liked the way Marko announced Story Time in other videos. So impressive. An event on it's own.

[@samimortal]

pls do ROMANTICIDE from this live show, its great

[@alnorwood134]

I concur!

[@jeffk1482]

I concur!

[@richardmead5969]

true

[@henkraadmaar4072]

And again completely different.

[@ascensionenergetics85]

Yours is an Empty Hope live at Wembley for growling Floor. It has the best audio & close ups of Floor growling.

[@ingobordewick6480]

Mexico City is better in my opinion, but Wembley is also great.

[@ingobordewick6480]

The official therm is "windmill" 🤘 I was at this show and it was a night I will forever treasure. It's in my top 3 concerts of all time, together with Queen in 1986 and TOOL in 2019

[@joop558]

It is the Dutch Windmill!!!

[@jasong.5165]

The “pianist” Toumas is the band leader and writes 99% of the songs. He’s a genius. Keep going there is a very deep catalogue.

[@Mischnikvideos]

According to Tuomas, it's "only" 90 percent. He's just the keyboard player, not a guitarist, singer or anything else in the band, which is why he needs the other band members to finish writing the songs. The whole band finishes what Tuomas started.

[@soundofnellody262]

I love how Emppu always smiles when he is on stage. He shows that he has a good time. Many bands play with faces so serious as if they bit into a lemon

[@xKasumiChan]

I think The Greatest Show on Earth will blow your mind 😁

[@richardmead5969]

love it

[@annmariemills1554]

You have THE most impeccable timing at stopping in the wrong place😂😂😂whenever you pause please back it up before restarting🤭😉

[@WEISICHNICHT1234567]

They usually do 🤭

[@fettiestube5692]

Just my thoughts😂

[@WNYretiree]

Oh, if you like this one, wait until you hear the song that usually comes next in the rotation -- Romanticide. That one comes in hard and heavy and gives every single member of the band a chance to shine. And, in that one, you will get your first listen to Nightwish's bassist/male vocalist Marko Hietala. I'm not going to say too much, but just wait until you hear the way he and Floor both are so different in their styles and yet harmonize so very well together.

[@richardmead5969]

Nightwish is top 3 rock band all time. 28 years and US has no clue how poetic and masters they are.

[@iainmackie6421]

The drummer (Jukka Nevalainen) also has long hair, It's tied back under the bandana.

[@charlesxavier..]

Floor growling? 🤔🤔 Yes!! DESDAIN from her previous band REVAMP ...Graspop festival 2010 😊😊😊...A sexy blonde Floor !

[@randyboyles]

I concur

[@macman1615]

If you want to hear Floor growl watch NW song Yours is an empty Hope from Wembley or her previous band, Revamp, singing Distain at Graspop

[@Edogg-c7t]

Nice reaction thanks. And yes, please Romanticide next🤘

[@rongarofalo3482]

Kick Ass!!!! Nightwish keeps you on the edge and wanting more!!!

[@Wherever56]

Fantastic vocals, that drummer!!!!

[@Cherlindrea99]

You'll probaby like Song of Myself, same concert. Thanks for reacting! 🤘🏼

[@royoschroeder]

Welcome back to the absolute best rabbit hole you'll ever go down into. I'm jealous of you guys experiencing this for the first time... and the best part is there's so much more to listen to...

[@martinklaus2203]

Just wait till you hear Floor and Marco sing together. Their harmonies are fantastic. A good one to see this in is Romanticide.

[@jeffk1482]

The “banshee glissando from hell” between them is jaw-dropping!

[@helli0n824]

harmonies in romanticide ? mmmhmokeee if you really want to hear harmonies between the 2, try "7 days to the wolves" or "Shudder before the beautiful", both live Wembley 2015 you want to hear all 3 singers harmonizing together ? ( Yes there was a time not long ago when Nightwish has 3 singing members on stage !) -> "my Walden", Tampere 2015 -> "The Greatest Show on Earth", for best entertaining show package take "Tampere 2015" version, for best sound take "Wembley 2015"

[@scottgudal945]

I loved both Tarja and Annette. I have been a Nightwish fan since 2005. As soon as Floor was announced as their new singer, I knew they would be my favorite band. That includes Iron Maiden.

[@Frightspear]

Nightwish Army Finland here. A very nice reaction! Just Nightwish doing Nightwish things! And as you have surely noticed, although they are all outstanding , none of them standout. Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at. Never, in the history of music entertainment, have a set of skills and talent collided in such powerful manner. Tuomas is a true genius as a composer and with lyrics. And Floor is our Valkyrie Goddess! Btw. try "Romantice" & "Ever Dream" from Wacken next.

[@erickvermeulen9734]

For crowd interaction, I remember seeing a great version of I Want My Tears Back performed in Buenos AIres. The crowd goes wild.

[@susanavieira4304]

Floor growl?! Nightwish - Yours Is An Empty Hope (live in Mexico city) It's the best recording

[@martinklaus2203]

For sure.!!

[@ddiachen]

"That little drum solo." Glad you commented on it, but I wish more people recognized the absolute genius of what Jukka is pulling off here. He is spinning out multiple lines of rhythmic ideas in a counterpoint so complex that when Kai took over as drummer, he stated it took him quite a while to figure out what Jukka was doing. And Kai has proved himself to be of the highest caliber himself. No matter how many times I hear this song, I get completely mesmerized in the central section.

[@davidschibner2664]

I’m now a new sub and look forward to watching your Nightwish journey. Buckle up and prepare to be amazed by their performances.

[@kevinjennings238]

"Romanticide" will show you their ROCK Style with Bassist, Marko SING!!!!

[@My.Darkling]

NW Army FL reporting in ;) They have been my favorite band since I was 15 (20 years, aaaaah!) and I used to get so much BS from other metalheads for liking "stuff like this." But you guys were spot on with the whole "they take you on a journey" thing. Nightwish are EXPERTS at just conveying emotion so completely and it's the kind of stuff that certain kind of people (you know, like me) are just hit square in the chest by, every. single. time. It sure took awhile!! But it never gets old seeing people discover my favorite band - finally. Please please please keep going. They have SUCH a broad range. You can trust in General Gabriel's recommendations =)

[@clivematthews5296]

Every Floor fan calls her "helicopter" a windmill as she's from the Netherlands. At this concert every song written for two previous singers Tarja Turunen ( 1996-2005 operatic) and Anette Olzon ( 2007-2012 pop) and Floor brings extra ability and versatility to every song but none written with growls. Tuomas, keyboards, tends to write melodic songs with great lyrics.

[@ingobordewick6480]

Wanna hear Floor growl? Check out "Yours is an empty hope" live from Mexico City.

[@KevinHollisWI]

I concur 🤘

[@davidbarrass5210]

Or Wembley 2015. Both are good. But not the cruise one which while good doesn't focus on Floor growls.

[@chrismatthew8812]

They say that your favourite Nightwish song is the one that you are currently listening to, but this is one of the best (in my humble opinion). Looking forward to seeing you experience more great tracks from this amazing band. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney, Australia Division) 🇦🇺🤘🤪🤘

[@Keeble420]

Great video guys, can’t wait for more

[@jeffk1482]

I’m glad you gents decided to follow-up! We’re *always* here for it. We definitely “get” the limited time and availability for any one band…but…as you’ll find out the NW Army is hardcore and CONSISTENT! You just won’t go wrong diving further into their catalog. - NW Army, western NC Battalion (Rank withheld, pretty low anyway! 🤣)

The song from Nightwish that Floor growls id "Yours is an Empty Hope" the band she was in before call Revamp the is a song called "Disdain" live at Grasspop. I would go with the song Disdain first. Killer song🤘🤘🤘

[@missdove637]

Loving the reaction to the best band ever, nightwish! To discover a whole other level from floor, watch yours is an empty hope live at wembley. The growling is real!

[@anthonygamble-xe4dl]

71 yr old vet here have saw them twice in concert been a fan since 2013. Best live band i have ever seen and I have seen some Iconic bands in my day Retired from Army 25 years

[@scottgudal945]

When one headbands like that, it is called a "Windmill" when Floor does it, it is called "The Dutch Windmill".

[@fearisachoiceyouembrace]

Dark chest of wonders , same concert is a bit more metal🤘

[@GryLi]

[@notvochkin]

For a heavier bite from them, try "Yours is an empty hope" or "Romanticide"..........

[@billattercliffe8655]

Before joining Nightwish, Floor had her own band called ReVamp. A lot of her songs from that band involved growling from her, Jord Otto (ReVamp guitarist) and the occasional singer on the album. "Disdain", "Wildcard" and "Misery's No Crime" live performances are the best examples on KZbin. Unfortunately there are no high quality videos out there for ReVamp. "Misery's No Crime" is a mind blowing example of her switching vocal gears mid song, where she ranges from growling, metal distortion, rock, pop, and classical voice, switching from one to the other on a dime.

[@alanfoster6589]

"Misery" absolutely the best example of her deep growling.

[@ruangsakanuwatwimon7843]

@@alanfoster6589 Totally agreed if something like super human is her , just add low infrasonic sound like crocodile or tiger she can make everyone shock stand still like saw Medusa

[@mamaflush9945]

Hello fellas, I'm so glad you're enjoying listening to Nightwish, they're a pretty deep rabbit hole, if you enjoy their tunes. lol So, if interested give this one a listen. ""Nightwish - Yours is an Empty Hope (Live in Mexico)" (by the channel: Nightwish) And as always, I enjoyed hanging out and rocking with you. Thanks for sharing.

[@Branwhin]

Hi guys! This song is just - joyful. I love how the whole band is smiling by the middle of it, just having a wonderful time. Floor is really good at windmills, isn't she? I can't do that without getting dizzy. The whole Imaginaerum album is fantastic too. I saw Nightwish when it had just come out I think, they were with Anette (who is Swedish) and they were teasing each other onstage about hockey. Particularly awesome, as it was a concert in Canada. Also, one of my favourite lines in any song ever: "The whole world is a limitless chest of tales." Indeed it is, Tuomas, indeed it is.

[@HvdHaghen]

Yes, Floor is big. That's one of the reasons why she can go on singing without the need to breath. Six foot height is the average for males in the Netherlands, so for a woman it is not out of the "normal" range. After all we are the tallest nation in the world.

What an amazing reaction! It's so genuine how you guys react! Loved this reaction! Probably my favorite reaction of all time! That head is looking good on that little bald one! Love seeing that sparkle on it from the camera but I could add a sparkle or two if asked....

[@michelebrowne418]

I’m a new and now dedicated Nightwish fan myself. The algorithm came through for me by way of Dan Vasc metals covers. When I heard/saw my first Nightwish, Last Ride of the Day, I could not believe we had never heard of them here in the US. And I’m still not believing it. They’ve been around almost 30 years! Take your time, enjoy your ride but I can’t wait to hear you react to their new album, Yesterwynde (that’s wind as in wind yarn), and the song Lanternlight. Following the development of this band has been a major pleasure.

[@markclements-bs3mb]

Hi Guys, greetings from UK That was another great reaction, thank you 😉

Great for me, and surely for many of Us is your Joy when listening and watch our beloved Band:) Storytime is for sure an more poppy and easier to digest Track:) i now have to choose what i donate to next- you called it:) Stay Healthy! Me.Hea. Frankonia, germany

Both good NW videos! I can't decide whether I d like to see more from NW and the Wacken festival in Germany, like Romanticide, or since we are at Wacken take a short 'trip' to visit the legendary German metal band Blind Guardian with their video for 'The Bard's Song & Walhalla' at Wacken... Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@LenaDee666]

Haunted carnival is a pretty accurate vibe looking at the album xD

[@Donna-C]

Watch Scaretale - a Halloween fav - imagination overdrive! (with one of the previous front singers Anette Olzon)

[@khadaan8139]

Fun fact: Hans Zimmer, composer for the Pirate's of the Caribbean score (among many other movies, of coruse) is one of Tuomas' biggest inspirations musically. Tuomas, the keyboardist, is the composer and lyricist of the band! If you want growl from Floor, "Yours Is An Empty Hope" is where you want to go next! (I recommend the Vehicle of Spirit version that comes off one of their DVDS, as their official live on the channel is from their cruise ship performance, and first off the flashing lights in that one are atrocious, but also the camera shots of the band are not as good or clear, and I think it's just due to camera setup limitations. the Vehicle of Spirit version is in Wembley arena and the Wembley videos are beautifully shot)

[@davidschibner2664]

Growling?! Yours Is An Empty Hope at Wembley. Or check out her old band ReVamp performing Disdain at Grasspop. Even Ghost River from Wacken has a couple Floor growls in it.

[@seattanf2348]

It's perfect you said the intro music gave you creepy carnival vibes. This is the first main track following a short intro track for the Imaginarium album. The cover art for the album is of the entrance to a spooky carnival. There is also a full length movie which is meant to be a stand alone but companion piece to the album. The movie is also called Imaginarium. Much of the movie takes place in a creepy carnival. Mostly it's just the music without lyrics and not necessarily the entire song but every song on the album is used in the movie. The only music in the movie comes off this album. The 2012/13 world tour in support of the Imaginarium album. Approximately 1/2 the set list is from that album.

You want to see crowd going wild? Then check out I want my tears back from Buenos Aires 2018.

[@Thorgrim247]

Since Floor is Dutch, we do call it a windmill . Nightwish does not do a lot of aggressive angry style metal. There are a couple songs. Most of the more aggressive singing is done be Marko (bassist) who is also a lead vocalist. "Romanticide" from this same show is metal Nightwish. Or your could check out "Yours is an Empty Hope" liv e from either Mexico City or Wembley arena. Also a heavier song with Floor doing more aggressive vocals and some growling on the chorus's. However, her growling takes on the support role for Marko who is singing the lead melody. Nightwish is not the pit type of band. Everyone is just having so much fun. No angry aggression to unleash. You will have to check out Floor in her earlier bands to hear her doing very aggressive singing.

[@ytcag2007]

Greetings. I watched my first Nightwish reaction video in 2020 and never looked back. Needless to say it helped keep my sanity during a crazy time with the lockdown and all. I now own all their albums including pre Floor, and all the concerts including this one. Yes, I dove into the Nightwish rabbit hole head first! 🤘🤘 A pit? Well, as long as I have known this band, and with all the concerts I've seen (on DvD) and the one I attended in NYC in 2022, I have never seen a mosh pit. I'm afraid the closest thing to a "pit" you will get to see at a NW concert is a BBQ pit! 😭💀 And I mean no disrespect at all but think about it... moshing to a symphonic metal band? Needless to say the fans find their time is best spent actually watching the band. Besides the performance itself, the Nightwish Army has much respect for the band and do "watch" the show they went to attend. Awesome reaction and ask questions, the Army will answer. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

As a Dutch Floorfan and a huge Nightwish fan, I've got a suggestion for you, guys. Check out Epica. Floor and Simone ( you'll find out) are personal friends 🤘🇳🇱🤘🇳🇱

[@PomLimey]

So glad you continued with Nightwish, liked and subbed for that. If you want to hear Floor growl then react to Yours Is An Empty Hope live from Mexico City. It’s a real banger!

[@TimoArula]

This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you guys witnessed first hand a "Dutch Windmill" , and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bull whip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. Awesome tune , although it is kind of a popish sound (originally sung by Anette, the second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Including this "Operatic" part, what was originally done by children's choir because vocal limitations on their second singer (Great singer also, I might add), but Floor has none of that "Limit". Nightwish lyrics are often a bit interpretive, and not as "straight forward" as many other bands, because Tuomas ( The Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen: founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish.) prefers people to put their own interpretations and life experiences into the lyrics. you connect with songs on a personal level when there is something there that relates to things you have gone/are going through, and you may even find new connections later on in life when you have gone through other big events/emotions. there might be songs you are quite indifferent about (oh, nice song) and then you go through something big and all of a sudden it makes you break down in tears because now you relate to something in the lyrics you didn't before, and see it from a whole new perspective. imagination and life experiences are powerful, and Tuomas has great appreciation of this.

[@justinpersfull1028]

Jukka , the drummer has long hair under the bandanna

[@Mischnikvideos]

It's a movie score from the film Imaginaerum, which is also a concept album by Nightwish. The song introduces the main character. Pirates of the Caribbean can be found here: VISIONS OF ATLANTIS - Armada (Official Video) | Napalm Records Floor distances herself from the fact that she sings opera. It's a classical education, more like operetta. Floor says that her growls are bad. If something is bad for Floor, it's average. Average isn't enough for Floor. Under the bandana is long hair. It's not just Floor's height, she also has a big mouth, which creates a big funnel to get her voice out. She has a lot of talent, plus a lot of training to be able to use it. I've never seen pits in Nightwish. The music doesn't suit that.

[@michaelwanklin3580]

GROWL - listen to Floor sing DISDAIN live at Grass pop with her band prior to joining Nightwish. It will blow your mind.

Hi 👋 from the UK 🇬🇧 division of the Nightwish army something you might like to check out floor jansen had her own band at the time of joining Nightwish called revamp for a while doing both Nightwish and revamp before disbanding revamp to concentrate on Nightwish You might like to check out revamp Revamp bisdain live at graspop 😊

Try next: - Romantacide & Song of myself at the same Wacken 2013 show. Then, for a fun time, I Want My Tears Back from Beunos Aires and Last Ride of The Day Live from Masters of Rock 2015 show. The last album - Human. :II: Nature. - try the music video for Noise, the lyric video for Pan, Shoemaker - (research the background first) - then there is an amazing live version from Hellfest. The Nightwish latest album Yesterwynde has 4 singles release so far. Try them all! An Ocean of Strange Islands (heavy) and Lanternlight - (So Beautiful) - the last song on the album & the end of a Trilogy of albums. Enjoy! 😊
