Romanticide Nightwish Wacken 2013 A Swift First Reaction

Nightwish blows me away with this epic performance of Romanticide at Wacken in 2013. With Floor Jansen on vocals this band is in a league of its own. Check out my unhinged first reaction to Romanticide.

I'm 65 years old and found Nightwish & Floor 8 years ago I'll just say there music has given me hope and tons of joy ever since. I never heard or seen such magic until they came into my life .

[@andrewraven5651]

I'm a 60 year old metal head😂 since I was 15 I listen to rock music and a probably do it till I'm dead. Keep rocking 🤘

[@frankmerris8821]

i concur

[@busher69]

Ditto - I'm 73 and found them about 5 years ago. Best music I've heard in 30+ years.

[@learnerchris]

you might want to watch Floor’s solo performance of Shallow from the Beste Sanger show. I believe it will be on the General’s list.

[@robertthurman9866]

74 and found Nightwish 18 months ago and am still amazed. Reminds me so much of Renaissance a rock, jazz, classical blend from the 70's.

[@randomman4938]

Floor can sing in virtually every style. She (along with everyone in the band) is immensely talented!

[@oktober-vh6gl]

Dead Boy's Poem, live from Buenos Aires. Tuomas' most personal song, and my personal favorite. That should be high on your list! ;)

[@gabriel.bardac]

You emphasized well what distinguishes the band's fans: dedication. ALL Nightwish fans consider it normal to popularize the band's music, regardless of their previous experiences with other bands. We do this from an inner conviction, some of us for the first time in our lives - and not because we have been trained in this sense.

[@monicacarolina6480]

Aye General❤

[@mvellis3863]

I highly recommend "7 Days To The Wolves" from their Wembley 2015 concert - fantastic vocals and harmonies from Floor and Marko

[@markcarrott6634]

Wembley...let's go OMFG 🤘

[@slpkntmggt06]

Ever Dream from this same concert. Your jaw will be on the floor through the whole song. Or Storytime from this concert too. It's fantastic as well.

[@bazkeen]

Floor and Marko at the end are on another level 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥 For more of Marko's singing, try While Your Lips Are Still Red from the Wembly concert or The Islander from Tempere concert or High Hopes from the End of An Era concert. Every song is simply amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@joshuaburba1048]

I told you this song was about 10 gears removed from Ghost Love Score, and that your mention of Metallica was pretty accurate. This song has almost nothing in common with Ghost Love Score. It sounds like 2 completely different bands. And I assure you, if you continue, every song is very different from the rest. Their music is extremely diverse and eclectic.

[@AlexT74]

If you want crowd interaction try Amaranth. Same concert. Even Tuomas is surprised about what Floor can do... Or I want my tears back from the Buenos Aires 2018 concert.

[@ecbftl]

A sing along for 82000, coached by Floor. Amazing, and the crowd sings very well also.

[@OJB42]

Yes, all the members of the band are there to give the best performance of Tuomas' awesome songs. He's a brilliant song writer.

The Goddess robs you of speech. It's how she keeps you still enough to rip you away to Valhalla. The rabbit hole is deep and warm. Let us know when it's Storytime 😃

[@jukkahelminen9071]

The best in my musical life, Nightwish live! They don't have such a choreographed stage show, but instead they have a stage show based on each person's own personality! And it's fun to watch, every single one of them!

[@jpdemer5]

The fan base includes people from 8 to 80 . . . and beyond, I'm sure. Quite a few of us, who grew up on Deep Purple and Led Zep, think that Nightwish is the best band (and Floor the best singer) that we've ever heard - and we've been listening for 40 years or more. Her stage presence is right up there with Freddie Mercury's, and the fun she has on stage is immediately contagious. You can't go wrong with Gabriel's list; you also can't go wrong just searching "Nightwish Wacken" and picking a vid at random... that concert seems to have brought out the best in every member of the band. I especially love the opening number, "Dark Chest of Wonders". She strides onto the stage in front of 82,000 people who've paid to see somebody else, and ... well, just watch it.

[@Rackelhane]

Check out "Alpenglow" Mexico city..."Sleeping sun" Tampere. Great reaction. Thank you!❤❤❤

[@lillianekockritz2796]

I don't know if someone else already answered your question: Wacken is a small village (about 2.000 inhabitants) in Northern Germany. Normally it is a quiet place with a lot of cows (therefore the symbol of Wacken Open Air is the burning bull's head) but for four days every year about 85.000 metal fans from all over the world invade the village for Wacken Open Air. The first WOA had been in 1990 (starting with about 800 visitors). It is now one of the biggest metal festivals in the world.

[@jerrymail]

The people of Wacken must be very happy when the Metalheads leave. In the village of Clisson, France, during the "Hellfest" festival, people say Metalheads are nice people but they are happy when they leave. 😅

[@lillianekockritz2796]

@@jerrymailI think it is the same with Wacken although the inhabitants have benefits with this festival. Several of them work for the festival and earn money by doing this. Those who don't like the festival go on a journey during these days, others like it and stay.

[@anne-marievandruenen600]

The lights that you see in the background is not a city skyline. It is actually the camping grounds.

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Love your reaction!. Floor is super talented Floor can sing in multiple languages take the show the Beste Zangers ( Best Singers ) Floor sung in Dutch, English, Spanish and German. Floor can sing in other languages too. Floor was trained in performance acting/ Theatre and Classical/Opera plus at a School of rock and she can play a few instruments. Floor can sing in many Genre's like Metal, Rock, Pop classical etc. Thank you.

[@davidgrider4302]

Another wonderful Floorgasm ❤❤❤

[@WNYretiree]

These musicians are all real performers. They give their all for the sake of the song. Floor and Marko together are one of the most dynamic duos that I have seen in a long time. They sound so very good together. In this song, at the end of the glissando that both Floor and Marko do, I always love the look on the guitarist's (Emppu) face "Yup, you just saw them do that."

[@JWNanaimo]

Great reaction..we have all been there with Nightwish discovery…I’m 72 and just discovered them a year ago and they are top of my bucket list to go from Canada to see them hopefully live in Finland when they decide to tour again 🤞🤞 I am excited for you just beginning this epic journey 👍 Bring some carrots. You’re on your way down the Nightwish rabbit hole and it’s a deep and friggin’ awesome one😉

There's no city in the background. All you see is part of the Wacken festival. Wacken actually is a very small german village where once in a year the farmland is used to host the biggest metal festival in the world. You might have seen the flaming bullhead logo. That represents the farmland heritage.

[@SwiftReactions]

Thanks for letting me know. 🍻🙏🇦🇺

[@richardwest6358]

The burning head represents the towns history as an important railhead in Germany's cattle country

[@busher69]

Nightwish Army - Arkansas USA Division checking in. The look on your face at the end of the last note with Floor and Marko was priceless. The whole Nightwish Army has been where you are and we welcome you. It's so much fun to watch you smile. Be prepared to smile alot and shed a tear or two brought on by every emotion capable of a human being. If you wanna see Floor and Marko amaze you again, check out "Ever Dream" from this same concert. You won't believe your ears. There is so much great music ahead of you from several different concerts. "Shudder Before the Beautiful" from Wembley 2015 and "The Islander" and "My Walden" from Tempere 2015 - to name just a few. Enjoy them all.

[@TimoArula]

So, let's keep the tradition going ! This song is Like a Coffee with Red Bull .... On Steroids 🤘❤‍🔥🤘. The “scream” at the end is called a glissando, going from low to high and back, for classically trained singers this is an exercise to warm up the vocal cords, so Floor will do this probably every day before breakfast . And yes, Floor can sing in any style! She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. AND,...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. Let's see how long and far are you willing to go ... NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘

[@SteveCoronado2]

I’m relatively new to the Nightwish Army (1 and a half years of service) and it brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart watching people experience them. If you like Floor you should check out her friends band Epica (Simone Simons) and their song Sancta Terra which features Floor 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻

[@SwiftReactions]

Thank you for your service 🤘

[@HughHarding46]

As you watch videos of Floor and Nightwish you can tell that the Wacken 2013 was basically a perfect show. Everything in that show went off without a hitch. There is another female fronted Metal band called Epica and their lead singer is Simone Simons. She and Floor have VERY similar singing styles but they are different enough you can tell the difference. I would recommend listening to the song "Storm the Sorrow" as an introduction and then move to Epica's Perfect show, Retrospect 10th anniversary and listen first to Unleashed. Then when you are ready, Simone brings Floor out at two different points in that concert and they sing Sancta Terra and Stabot Mater Dolorosa and SMD is sung in Latin. Now I don't want to receive all the hate but in my humble opinion, they are the two most powerful and best voices on the planet at this time.

[@marcelwil2530]

Great reaction tx you should also hear and react to Floor together with Henk Poort singing "the phantom of the opera" in a program called "Beste zangers 2019", it is absolutly amazing, best duet ever.....:), greetings from Holland

[@rolandconnor575]

Yes Wacken 2013, the Platinum standard, keep choosing ANY track. Floor is the best singer on this planet, so far...

[@Waylander45]

I knew you'd love this one. As versatile as Floor is, and as fine as she sounds in all her various singing 'modes', when she rocks out in her 1st register (like in the verses of this song), her tone is, IMO, just perfect. The amazing vocal gymnastics she adds are the icing on the cake. In regards to suggestions, I'd say keep following Gabriel's list, it's as good a guide as you'll get, and I think is well crafted to introduce you to the band and music in a logical sequence. (Hint: You'll get another insight into Marko's vocals when you get to Everdream. There's *so* much more to him than you've seen so far. 😉) Cheers, from Canberra. 🙂

[@mattgraham2835]

this woman is such a versatile singer it will blow your mind i love this protest song sounds great such effortless transitions i love what they can do with rhythms with those instruments such a cool pace then i picks up love the rhythmic breakdowns they do and they do them often so many awesome layers of sound ands do they have a big sound, should be playing stadiums arenas thats alright Metallica has a big sound too and they have played with a symphony too on two albums which i have S&M 1&2. and Nightwish is a progressive metal band and have some power metal in there too. Nightwish's music is very intellectually stimulating thats why the folks in this band are top tier as far as the epic and very cool music compositions that Maestro Tuomas Holopainen the Finnish heavy metal Mozart and don't forget about their elaborate light and sound and another very cool thing about this band is they are like the rolling stones or alice cooper group in that they can play in a large building or a small venue and still kill it and make their audiences feel like a million bucks when they play all the live footage i have seen even from 2012 and 2016 ya know they bring their A game everytime

[@sjtimmer7]

Some suggestions: the Beste Zangers tv show that had Floor in it. They sing songs for eachother, songs that mean much to the person they sing it for, and the last episode is duo's. So they sing for the rest of the singers and the presentor. If You're going to watch it, save the duets for last. The last duet of that evening is awesome. Floor sings with Henk Poort, who did Phantom. Guess what they are going to sing...

[@jamesanderson5268]

Wacken is far north Germany, north of Hamburg. There are several smaller cities around that area too so those lights could be several northern Germany cities. Wacken as a town is fairly small.

[@louisminten7889]

Goodmorning (8 am here) Sweetheart snotball. I tell you how i found Nightwish. In 2015 i was surfing on YT for new music. I saw Nightwish. The song was Amaranth from the same Wacken 2013 concert and i was immediatly hooked. Not only the Wacken 2013 concert is fire, but also Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018, Hellfest 2022 and Deichbrand 2022 are great. My birthday is april 11 and one of my favourites is 7 days to the wolves (wembley 2015). For the big ones you have to wait a little bit. You are not ready. Those are The Poet and the Pendulum and The greatest show on Earth. I already did subscribe on the reaction Emma Kok.

As far as Nightwish goes, you need no other instructions than to choose any official live performance with Floor and/or Marco on vocals, or any lyrics video form their latest Human.:II:Nature. album. P.S. This song explores themes of disillusionment, heartbreak, and the destructive nature of love. The lyrics depict a sense of emotional detachment and a feeling of being misunderstood by others.

My understanding is that the keyboard play Tuomas (also the founder and song writer of the band) wanted to start a folk band, but after seeing Metallica while visiting the states, he switched to heavier music focus.

With Nightwish you have definitely started the turbo engine when it comes to your subscriptions. If you ever hear something other than Nightwish and want to react to it, I recommend the group "Epica" (the band name says it all), especially the song "Consign to oblivion" in the live version. I bet you'll get your money's worth! At the same time, you open the next rabbit hole! Definitely! I can also unreservedly recommend the German band Rammstein. Especially the song “Du hast” in the live version from the concert in “Paris”! Also the song “Engel”! Another guarantee for the turbo effect of subscriptions! Just by the way.

Hi! I like your Nigjtwish reactions!

I would love if one of your next reactions would be from this song, i'm sure you would like this song, but also some other songs from this "End of an Era" conzert, maybe "The Siren" or "The Phantom of the Opera", but i love the whole conzert! I would love if you make some reactions from this concert.

Next one if You would hear more of Marko (the bassist) would be "Ever Dream" from the same concert. And if You like Pink Floyd - Markos singing and the bands tribute to PF with "High Hopes" live from 2005 is a must. New sub here.

Liked your reaction. Isn't it cool to discover Nightwish w/Floor Jansen?

[@recumbentkoala]

As you have discovered, Floor is Dutch. They seem to have something in the water, as she is not the only great female front woman to come from there. You need to see her perform with her good friend Simone Simons, who fronts Epica. At their Retrospect concert, with full orchestra and choir on stage, Floor was a guest singer on two songs - Sancta Terra kzbin.info/www/bejne/mamVY4yrn5ehsMk and Stabat Mater Dolorosa kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJnXgIKIjrl6rpo In the latter you get to see a Metal head audience appreciate classical music. I gather Simone is married to a member of Kamelot (who had an album called Epica, which is where her band name came from). Their first singer was Roy Khan, who has since left. But here he performs with Simone as a guest singer - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKSwiauuebJ5j7s Kamelot's current singer, Tommy Karevic, is also pretty awesome. Another Dutchie is Arjen Anthony Lucassen. He is pretty amazing. One of his talents appears to be the ability to attract stellar performers from all over to work with him on his Ayreon projects. See this for a fun example - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfYfn6ap9-Dp7c You will see a few of the names mentioned above in there, and meet some others you will probably want to pursue. Now you have a whole warren of rabbit holes.

this period from 2012 thru 2018 was their peak live performance time. They had top tier everything, which meant the whole catalog was available. Now they are a bit more restricted as they don't have a male singer to pair with Floors vocals. Some will argue that Troy is there but he doesn't have the power to match it with Floor and his voice doesn't cut through the mix either, which is fine for background harmonies but not for belting as a lead.
