Reaction to Nightwish - Yours is An Empty Hope. Vehicle of Spirit. Live at Wembly (2015)

[@WNYretiree]

You won't hear much growling from Nightwish but, any time you do, it's Floor who is doing it. Marko, the bass player/male singer, has a varied palette of colors to his voice, but he doesn't growl. What you have to expect from Nightwish is that every song is going to be different. Expect the unexpected and you will be happy.

[@paulmaxey6377]

Floor does the growls but don't worry everyone thinks it is Marko who does them at first listen. The song is about the toxic elements of social media.

[@ejllamobeolan5025]

Yes listen again. It's floor growling k

[@PaulOutdoors]

Epicness right there on that stage. The Gold Standard for live music performance. Floor can do it all from angelic to growls and everything in between. Phenomenal song, the second on the set list following "Shudder Before the Beautiful" one of the best show openers ever. Thank you for an insightful reaction. 🙏😊👍❤️

He he he. Hello EB. And welcome to GROWLING Floor. Like so many others before you, you cannot bring yourself to believe that Floor is doing all the harsh growling on this song while Marko, the bassist sings clean on every chorus above her growls. No shame in not recognizing it because it is absolutely incomprehensible what this woman can do with her vocals. Nightwish Army Phoenix here and I am so glad to see you come back to explore more of Nightwish. I loved your reaction and don't feel taken aback by the fact that you, like many other reactors before you, do not realize that our lovely Floor is doing all the growling. Hope to see you back again soon with more Nightwish.

[@paulsheppard759]

That's Floor growling

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Haha, Marko is laughing and Floor is growling. Greetings from Finland! ⛄👍

[@TumppiJarnefelt]

It is floor that does the growls 👍

[@alleninfinity6730]

Floor is our growling Queen, and she is a bad ass. She can do anything vocally, anything, watch again and pay closer attention in the chorus, will shock you. 😂

[@Tarkus_]

Your comment is well-taken about this being more accessible to new listeners, at least for metal fans. I've always thought "Storytime" from Wacken 2013 is the perfect introduction to Nightwish, because it's so accessible and has wide appeal, while still being very Nightwishy. But for straight up metal fans, this or Romanticide from Wacken 2013 would also be great intros. Most people start with "Ghost Love Score," and that's great, but often it's too much too soon for people new to the genre.

[@dazjackson1972]

Agreed. Some fans seem to recommend GLS to everyone, as a kind of involuntary response - regardless of the listeners stated musical tastes.🤘🤘🇬🇧

[@jaskau2462]

Whateva live than "Yours is an Empty Hope", since the reactor(himself in this case) didn't even know who's vocal are placement and on where in composirion(Dämm, I am hard after big bottle of Premium Vodka) 🤘😹🇫🇮💙💯💥

[@GryLi]

Nightwish army Denmark reporting in 🤘 Hear our queen growl

[@dazjackson1972]

Nightwish are a truly great band - and Floor Jansen is the absolute best front person out there.

[@Thorgrim247]

FYI - That is Floor doing the growls. Yup! We understand the classic rock comment. Real singing, less the guttural stuff all the time.

[@clivematthews5296]

As has been mentioned it's Floor that growls in every chorus while Marko sings clean. It's his reaction to Internet trolls and he wanted Floor to demonstrate more of her abilities.

[@sasailicic]

FL❤❤R...my song

[@silverblack5475]

Floor did alot of growling with her 2nd band Revamp

[@markclements7767]

Hey EB, greetings from UK Great reaction man, thanks 😁 I think you might enjoy a song called "Ghost River" from the Wacken 2013 concert

[@nicod1361]

concur !!!!

[@kimkruse7370]

One more get fooled by Floor hehe well also hard to think that she growl . :)

[@NickBR57]

Nice reaction. I don't know how much NW you have heard but this is only one part of the spectrum You've heard the symphonic obviously, but how about the ballads (Sleeping Sun Masters of Rock 2015) or Dead Boy's Poem (Buenos Aires 2018); or the Celtic folk-rock (My Walden, Wembley or Tampere both 2015); or the unclassifiable Harvest or Shoemaker music videos; or Endless Forms Most Beautiful (Tampere 2015)?

[@VXGaming]

Floor is doing the growls. Marko's voice is soft and clean although he can scream like crazy. Remember when you first tried Nightwish and not being a fan of the style, good to see you continued to hear there other songs.

[@paulriddle7818]

If you want to hear her growl in her previous band ReVamp check out Misery is no crime at Mezz Breda 2014.

[@glenngunnis6642]

Try Song of Myself from the same show. It is the head banging challenge!🎸🤘

[@davidellinsworth3299]

Song of Myself isn't performed at this show. Wacken 2013 is the one

[@glenngunnis6642]

@@davidellinsworth3299 you are correct. My mistake!🎸🤘

[@hiufernando7340]

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "The Hammer of Wrath" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏

[@davidellinsworth3299]

Floor Jansen specs: from Angel to Demon in 0.25 seconds

[@johnsmith_1942]

I recommend then next song is Your is an empty hope. Listen to the singers and figure out who is actually growling ;)

[@KaiHellmann]

Marco bass and Troy multitalent growl together…😊 Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Finland, city:Kitee 🇫🇮.The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen

[@eddiehesselman3904]

Finland, Holland and England

[@ejllamobeolan5025]

No Floor is the only person growing

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻

[@PomLimey]

As usual the average guy’s brain can’t compute that it’s Floor doing the growling!

[@EBReacts]

Pretty much. Not something I expected but due to her vocal talent, should.

[@no_onein2024]

It’s FLOOR doing ALLLLL the low guttural death metal growling!!!

[@pauld6222]

There is no perfect song to introduce someone to Nightwish to. They have so many different sounds and styles that what one person things is the best song,, another will be far on the other end of the spectrum. I have a very broad musical taste, so I love them all. Just please never rap or sing country Nightwish! Haha.

[@martinnovotny6779]

SHE growling almost this song not him, you are very confused this time!

[@Icook4u71]

Weak Fantasy

[@PaulOutdoors]

Oh yes 🙏😊👍❤️

[@duncanwyer2460]

🇬🇧 Norfolk reports for duty 😊 the drums on this one and heavy riff oh and Floor does a great job
