VIKING REACTS | NIGHTWISH - "Last Ride of the Day"

[@mikeatwork3279]

"Floor is home" I think you said - absolutely one of the best comments ever. Almost got me crying.

[@jantje57]

The man himself (Mr. Holopainen) said: She's at home. She really is at home. (Dutch TV show de reunie) I know Floor calls the boys her Brothers in Arms, but I like to think of them as her Band of Brothers. Would be a great song title for that band of her hubby.

[@mikeatwork3279]

@@jantje57 OK - thx...I should check out that episode. Do you have a link? I hope, there are English subtitles, also...? (If you can't provide a link, I am probably able to find it, if I search thoroughly, but it would of course be easier for me, this way :) )

Tuomas has started working on new nightwish album! He confirmed this in the interview on the largest finnish media platform called Ilta Sanomat. He also said that fans have to wait for atleast 2 years because the tour for this album hasnt even begun, but glad to hear this wasnt their last one i was a bit afraid

[@VikingReacts]

Yes, I watched that interview as well ;)

Thank you so much for this news. I was a little afraid too.

makes me happy, now only the concert in December must start here... and i hope Floor is fine with her recover (had this OP myself and it was a little painfull 6 weeks long after it.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

@@Hamish_Whitehaven Floor just put out an update on her health, very positive.

[@ronswasonbutcuter4474]

Watching Floor and Marko kill it together makes me emotional. I'm gonna miss that guy

[@Thorgrim247]

What a way to end the show! At the end Tuomas says to Floor " So, If you are into it, I think you made the cut"? Floor says "Of course", Let's go have a couple bottles of red wine to celebrate"! Love it my Viking friend. You are correct. Floor was offered a full membership slightly before this show, but they did not announce it until a few weeks later. Troy as well. So happy to hear you are back to work. Peace. ✌👍

[@lillihartman9802]

"Floor is home" that got me crying and seeing you tear up as floor said in her ghost love score reaction they are her brothers in arms and she's known them a long time since her After Forever days, After Forever toured with nightwish in 2002

[@pantlessreactions]

This song has one of my favorite lines: it is hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead. How very true that we get mad at the situation and adversity rather than try to change it.

[@FallenExarch4]

Being over whelmed and emotional watching Nighwish is perfectly normal!! Fantastic reaction Viking!!

[@jamesschwarz007]

Did you see Floor's smile at the end? I've seen this show a lot of times (I have the dvd), but that smile always gets me.

[@Louquet]

Tuomas 's hung at the end..... " Thank you GODDESS "

[@annhelensjostrom9065]

You have such a big, beating, loving heart in your amazing chest Mr Viking. You pick up those small gestures, looks and everything I see and love about this heavenly band. Have a great weekend my friend. Love from Sweden

[@VikingReacts]

I absolutely loved this comment. Thank you very much for these kind words :). With love, from the Netherlands!

[@oliverdonder7616]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you end a concert

[@andrewhutchinson8025]

I agree it's f***ing epic... Nightwish are just on another level altogether. Floor and Marco singing together is awe inspiring. I pray he will be back because they are incredibly special as is Nightwish with Marco. My heart is broken, I won't be able to see them play live together but I'd be just really happy for them to be back together cos it's far more important for than my need to see them live. We the army need this, hell the world needs this. Also why doesn't any reactor's point out that in the beginning just before Floor starts windmilling and after her introduction/speech she flicks her head back and gives a look as if to say"I'm gonna blow your minds away" . Simply breathtaking 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤯

[@svolos1971]

They have been, are and always be magical...this will go down in history as one of the best live performances in history. That crowd were all lottery winners.

[@fjeldfross9327]

I Wish I could travel Back in time to experience this😭

[@pen7759]

I really agree with you, this is a concert to remember. Absolutely one of the best ever!

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This is the best name of the show closer, and it's the best closing song of this most epic Nightwish show. Floor's facial expressions and bodily gestures are always priceless. She's an embodiment of a storyteller. And the photo they took at the end ended the cover of the dvd "Storytime/Showtime", that contains the whole Wacken 2013 show and much more. I happily possess it and so should everybody else out there. ⛄👍

[@75jvs]

So cool that they really thank everybody. When one link is missing, the chain would be broken. Beautiful!

[@pascalmanders5781]

This was not only the last song of the set but if I remember correctly the last song of the festival...

[@mattilindstrom]

Dear Sir, your emotional involvement mirrored my own. The end is always bitter-sweet but the togetherness of the band brought it home for me.

[@TimoArula]

Yes Viking, YOU ARE a true human being and solid Nightwish Fan . Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia is here and always will be. Nightwish IS, endless forms most beautiful. Thank you

[@mikegershon8528]

That was a great reaction. But you get 100 bonus points for the "Don't take this out of context!" Epic!!!!!

[@mariogansbeke]

I would have loved to be there in the backstage after the concert just to see their joy and emotions knowing they slayed it.

[@krzysztofkoeczek4321]

As you are telling about their relationship in the band... Look at how it started by watching the documentary "Please, learn the setlist in 48 hours" that is sayin something special.

[@clansolace]

Marco's call at the beginning always gives me the chills. Love this performance of this song. Thanks for the reaction!

[@marita2g]

Yes, that little hug gets me

[@parambirsingh1321]

@ 6:26 Floor pointing her finger towards the crowd and then sings towards Tuomas "Such an incredible high"... Epic!

[@marita2g]

And check out their song last of the wilds live at wacken. Its perfect. Floor is backstage changing her outfit. So its just the guys having fun. I listen to this one often on repeat :D

[@damienmaynard8892]

They credit everyone - yes, they do. The four truck drivers and four coach drivers for their US tour got definite mentions and even spots in the documentary!

[@ronjoanne5980]

We think that when Floor went behind Marco at the beginning of Emppu's solo, she was "skipping"!!! Keep in mind as you watch the energy of this song that it is the 15th song of the concert. Wow! Amazing performers really having fun feeding off of the passion and energy of their fans. This was a most EPIC concert and we can only imagine what it would have been like to be there. Great reaction, AGAIN!! Looking forward to your next, because the band and you do not disappoint. Stay safe wishes from Arizona.

[@doc8645]

yes, it's hard not to get emotional watching these guys perform, not only for their artistic perfection but as can be seen and felt with their family and loving atmosphere they project and can be seen giving and receiving from their audience as well. Now when you get to the Greatest show, there are two versions everybody loves. Either Wembley where Richard Dawkins actually appears in the end or Tampere. I won't say which, they're both good but a little different, after all, it's Nightwish. In the Wembley version, the first instrument Troy plays with is a guitar with an "E-bow", you can look that up, and in the Tampere, his first instrument is a low whistle. The Tampere has some good sync fireworks and I personally like the last 4 minutes when there isn't any music cause it's just like the last ride they all come out and interact with the audience and each other and you can tell it's genuine, but you'll have to decide from all your comments which one, they're both very very good.

[@michaelmiller1103]

Definitely one of my favourite Nightwish songs, and like you said, a perfect closing song for any concent, topped only by Greatest Show on Earth, I can't wait for your reaction to that! Men cry, Vikings cry too! It's all good brother! Also, that pause early on with the monkey noise and picture yet got me good, really made me laugh, thank you Skål!!

[@karolienharbrinknuman7820]

Oww. Great, really great reaction again! I'm looking forward to the greatest show on earth. My sister said she knew Nightwish, but actually ment she heard of them. So I made the mistake of sending her the greatest show on earth as first song of Nightwish. She needed about a half hour to reply to me. She excused herself for taking that long, but said she had to recouperate :D!

[@alleninfinity6730]

I love your reactions Viking, never change brother, and I felt the same way when she put her arm around Tuomas and then put her head on Marko's shoulder. All their concerts are special and beautiful in one way or another. This one when Queen Floor commanded that stage and crowd like she did, she was not even a full member yet, something real real special and they all felt it according to Floor.

[@harrythatsme2100]

Your reaction shows us that you see and feel what we do. Not just the music but also these little things like a hug or a facial expression from Floor. Top!

[@pete70]

That last picture is in the cover of Nightwish Showtime,Storytime live from Wacken. The Best ever recorded concert for my opinion.

[@CryogenicFire]

Congrats on the new job Mr Viking sir! Much love to you and your family from the UK.

[@markusjackel2132]

Yes Sir !! Thats how you end an epic Concert !! Pure Energy - and yes...the DVD kicks ass...The planets aligned at that day....this is full force ahead....EPIC !! ...We need a Floor Cam on events like that...that shows only Floor...to not miss a single facial Expression or gesture....Someone once said he would rather watch her singning and windmilling instead of watching Strippers.....I agree to that. All Hail the Queen !

[@kenthcarlsson4939]

Always crying and smiling when i looking on this video whit this song from wacken whith the one and Only Ms Floor Jansen and Nighwish. 64 year olds crying like a baby i just love this band..

[@dirk2267]

Great reaction. And tears are a proof of emotion. And since my contact with Nightwish I have guttered some or maybe a lot. Loving the reaction. Love the band and Floor.

[@SYNtemp]

This song even features in book series "Under the graveyard sky" (zombie (post)apocalypse thing)... they literally do acording to "light a candle" intead of "cursing the dark" and start rebuilding something like human society... To be fair, there are few more songs mentioned too, like "Get ready to die" they play that one to attract the zombies to preset killzone :)

[@MichaelMikeTheRussianBot]

Skol! "Her eyes!" Yeah, whenever she does that wide-eyed thing, it gets me every time. :)

[@soundocean3765]

I just found your channel a few days ago and you had me hooked since then, I'm still binge watching your reactions. Just LOVE your honesty, your open emotions, your genuine joy about every single member of the band and everyone else, and your amazing way of picking up details. I myself am an introvert (and likely HSP which still has yet to get confirmed but, there are signs lol), probably one of the reasons I enjoy your reactions so much. You've got this introverted-ish way of watching those videos (at least that's how it feels to me personally) and a very deep, emotional way of analysing what you see, which is quite a treat tbh, and so different from most of those many other reaction channels I've been following for a long time. Your content really is special, thank you for that! (More comments to come, but I'll leave this for when I'm finished with all of your Nightwish reactions xD) Very best greetings from Germany! ♥ Also, on "Last Ride of the Day": The line "It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead" is one of my favourite inspirational quotes by Nightwish ever. It's always cheering me up when I need it.

[@ristohyvarinen8448]

Great reaction, thank you. If we think Floor had been with Nightwish quite a short of time that time and now she was there in front of 80000+ people. Her bodylanguage tells everything when the last notes have been played and she stands on the stage holding hands together smiling. A dream of hers has come to true. This song makes me feel always happy.

[@adrianwagner336]

"...the beauty of the ride ahead....such an incredible high..." i envy the journey you will be on...enjoy!! and welcome

[@ciskavandevijver2355]

FLOOR IS ABSOLUTELY HOME....THEY ARE ONE..

The perfect closer for the perfect concert. I think the picture with the audience behind is the cover of the DVD, called 'Showtime, Storytime' (not Wacken 2013 lol)

[@derrickowen8162]

This song is from the Imaginaerum album. If you didn't already know, Nightwish also made a feature film of the same name. I would definitely recommend watching it. Perhaps you could even consider posting a reaction for us...?

[@jahrolo]

I´m on my way to work at 5:30 every day. While I´m walking, obviously I´m listening to music. This concert is on my phone in full - I´m always happy that it´s so early that i hardly meet any people on my way. Because then they would see me with wet eyes... it´s really ridiculous but it doesn´t matter how often I hear these songs, they always get me hyped, emotional or all at once... It´s just musical magic :)

[@nostrathomas2437]

It’s ironic you talking about her eye pop I just watched her health update video on her channel before watching this reaction. Floor has some of the most beautiful intense blue eyes I have ever seen and man they stand out in that update video 👀 wow! My wife and I were joking a while back how scary it must be for Freya to see those big fierce eyes if she’s getting in trouble...They probably scare Hannes when he’s in trouble also 😂

[@fearmac]

First time I saw this was while watching the whole concert. I was in tears 😭

[@loriec6918]

Thank you! A perfect experience for me. Your fresh look at this song pulled me right in. I cried with you. Best quote from you about tears & NW: “I’m human, for crying out loud!” 🎭

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Marko was so happy when he could invite Floor to join the special heavy cristmas shows in Finland. They have some phenomenal duets during the years - and the Fins really love Floor. And yes it was the closing of the Wacken 2013 show

[@squalllionheart3453]

FLOOR'S gesture at the end was so sweet, Great reaction sir

[@Zoey-K-1]

That photo taken at the end with the audience behind them...that’s the cover image of the DVD...Showtime Storytime.

[@L3onOfKings]

In the world of MBTI and Carl Jung, you seem to have a high sense of 'Extraverted Feeling', you react strongly to the emotions and feelings of others. Reading body language, vocal tone and mannerisms is also part of that. I'm much the same, so I can relate to how you can emotionally connect to situations that you're observing. If you aren't aware of MBTI, I highly recommend looking into it! The psychology of it all is fascinating. For people with a high function of Extraverted Feeling, Nightwish is the holy grail of music. I think Floor has Extraverted Feeling too, but yet the master of Nightwish - Mr Holopainen, I believe he has strong Introverted Feeling, he is very deep, which is why he is able to create and express his inner self so well via lyrics and music. I enjoyed this reaction.

[@amaelboisson5439]

The photo at the end is the cover of the Showtime Storytime DVD to give you an idea :)

Another awesome reaction as always Viking! This was definitely the moment Tuomas realized he had found a true gem in the Valkyrie goddess that is Floor! But damn bro you keep teasing us with Greatest Show On Earth lol... I'll say this; if you thought LROTD was an epic ending, just wait... and if you want epic visual aesthetics, you should definitely do TGSOE in Tampere. OR... as a bonus add in the ending of the Wembley version for a pleasant surprise... but ultimately the choice is yours. SKÅL my Norse brother!
