Hello Kyle & Eric [Rykerroad] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! The 1st song you reacted is from Wacken Open Air (Germany) in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with links with the current lineup of the band you may like.

Floor has the greatest voice I have ever heard, and I've been around for 79 years. She has ruined me for other singers because they don't measure up to her versatile, powerful and pitch perfect voice. She is the 3rd front-woman for Nightwish so the studio version of this song is a different singer. Floor officially joined in 2013. Tuomas keyboards/founder/composer creates the vast majority of their songs. He is quite poetic so different people will sometimes have different ideas of what the song is all about. He likes that. I hope you continue your Nightwish journey as I have enjoyed your commentary and enthusiasm. 😊🤘

However, I'm not a fan of male singers that sing a lot in the upper registers. He likes to throw those whistle tones in also even when the song doesn't call for it. He's a great singer, but just not my cup of tea. As for selling a song emotionally and telling a story with gestures and facial features Floor's at the top. She's a High Sensitive Person and that trait shines on through her performances. Plus she can growl and beat him up in a cage match. 😂🤣😂 😊🤘

Hi Eric and Kyle, that was a great patreon request. I remember recommending this to you as well. Nice to watch you reacting to it and liking it! Nightwish is a Finnish band, but their singer, Floor Jansen, is Dutch. She's been with them since 2012 (there have been 2 female singers before her). Floor is an incredible vocalist, one of the best female vocals in metal today. Know that if you listen to the studio version of this song, it will feature a different singer; Tarja Turunen (she was their original singer, 1996 - 2005). Also, even though their albums versions are wonderful, they are at their best live. Always very tight and entertaining. And there are lots of good quality live performances to watch. Nightwish's music is very diverse. They have the epic songs (like the one you've just heard), but there are also the very heavy songs, as well as the more celtic sounding ones for example. If you continue to listen to them, you'll find out. Their songs are compelling, with beautiful compositions and very poetic lyrics, written for the most part by the keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen. If you want to know more about Nightwish, find Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon). He'll give you lots of background info, as well as a list with plenty of song suggestions to keep you busy for quite some time. Enjoy! Greetings from the Netherlands.

Goosebumps!! - nope - the official word is Floorgasm (not kidding!). This is Symphonic Metal - a genre not known in the US. It's the merge of symphony and metal music, and it is often composed in chapters, using all the components this merge of music genres can bring - to enhance the story. And Floor on vocals - she is unique - she is by far, the most powerful, versatile, skilled and talented storyteller in the galaxy. You have only scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities in this song - they are going to blow you away, because this is music you experience (Floorgasms!!) - and not just listen to. These stories - deep and poetic written, often with quotes from poets and / or scientist - will take you to journeys which you have never experienced before. And Floor will play with your emotions and make you feel happy, thoughtful, in love, sad, go bananas on the dancing floor - and make you cry your heart out. She is that strong! And please always go for the live versions - if possible and available. A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘

The bass player is also an amazing vocalist and there is over 20yrs of amazing music for you to discover. Live is the best way to watch them, you can see the enjoyment they get from doing it, also the are a whole, there is no one person better or more important than the other, they're all extremely talented musicians. The crowd is reported to be around 82,000! Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish! P.s there is NOTHING that Floor cannot sing, she is one of a kind 😁

Great reaction. Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of around four octaves +. When listening to Floor sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres, and is a Master vocal coach. She often refers to herself as a vocal nerd. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet.

Terrific reaction to one of the many wonderful Nightwish live performances. Please check out Gabriel Bardac's extended comment. He has a terrific list of links to Nightwish's live songs. Floor Jansen is their third and current lead vocalist and IMHO one of the best female singers on the planet. I can't wait to see them live at the Warfield in San Francisco on May 18th as a part of their May 2022 North America Tour. Keep those Nightwish reactions coming. The Nightwish Army is hear for you.

@franshinlopen21662 жыл бұрын
Tarja is classicaly trained in "Lied", not opera. The difference is that "Lied" is classical singing with a small ensemble like a chamber orchestra, but opera is with a full orchestra. In both styles there is no microphone. Tarja has done some arias from operas with a small ensemble, but so has Floor. Neither of them has ever sung with a full symphonic orchestra because they simply do not have the training. This is not to rag on Tarja or Floor, whose voices I have appreciated for over twenty years.

Hello Kyle and Eric, welcome into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish. You were experiencing your very first Floorgasm. (And I expect many more will follow) You just heard Floor Jansen (pronounce Yahn-Sen). Although the band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist isn’t, she is Dutch. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career as (initially) just as background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997 but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 (while she was within ReVamp, but recovering from a burnout) Floor replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. After one year, on October 9th 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer. Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKKno36lj5tlrbM the evolution of Ghost Love Score. Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label. Tuomas and Floor know each other since August 20th, 2002 when Nightwish played in a sold-out and swelteringly hot “Hof Ter Lo” in Antwerp with After Forever and Charon as support act.

You can watch this same performance with the lyrics to help you understand the powerful feelings In the lyrics. To me the lyrics tell a story of a woman who in the beginning of the song is fondly remembering the love she use to share with someone as she recalls swimming in the same moonlight waters …. Then hence the title of the song “ Ghost love score “ … their love is now just a ghost of what it use to be … the score is the type of music it’s written as in telling the story of this lost love in different scenes or chapters. After the fond memories in the beginning after the guitar solo and the instrumental bridge … she now is in her anger stage and her tone gets darker and talks about their lost love in a upset way now all while still singing that her “ Fall will be for you “ as she still can’t stop loving him even though it’s taking her down !

Private Marshall Nightwish Army reporting for duty. Glad you enjoyed it Rykerroad. There is so much more. This entire concert can be reacted to from the beginning, one song at a time. There are no bad songs and each one you hear is very different from the other. And each one will become your new favorite. That might sound ridiculous but we have seen it over and over again. This is a live band. This is a rarity that the live music is better than the engineered versions. Stick with live. General Gabriel should arrive to give you a road map and a history to help you on this most magical of journeys. A few of my suggestions outside of this concert venue, Yours is an empty Hope, Wembley. (The cruise ship video is not as good) How's the heart, Planet Rock Acoustic version and I want my tears back, and Dead Boys Poem, Buenos Aires Argentina.

Every reactor is free to make his own choice, but.... there are a number of wrong speed, cut too short and other lesser videos available on YT. If the reactor chooses one of those videos, the Army is upset (to say the least) that they reacted to the 'wrong version'. As far as I know there are no 'wrong' versions in Gabriel's list. Are there better performances, better mixes available on YT, hell yeah, I don't doubt it. And it is part personal choice and preference. For example, GLS. I prefer the Buenos Aires 2012 version, although the Wacken 2013 videos is the most reacted to. Once they are 'hooked', It is up to the reactor, if they are interested enough, to check out other versions.

Great reaction! 👍🤘 Greetings from the UK! Info dump for you below!😁 Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best and most versatile female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal herself Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen). Floor is a classically trained soprano and has a vocal range of more than 3 octaves (D3 to F6+). Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had (and my personal favourite), she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today. The other vocalists are - Tarja Turunen - (1996-2005) - (Finland) - Very operatic focused vocals. Anette Olzon - (2007-2012) - (Sweden) - More pop-centric vocals. Floor Jansen - (2012-Present) - (Netherlands) - Extremely diverse vocals, from deep growls to full on opera. The other band members are/were - Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland) Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland) Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland) Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Retired in 2014 due to health issues Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom) Kai Hahto - Drums (Finland) - 2014 to Present Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious goldmine of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff (including 2 other bands, After Forever & ReVamp) that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. She is also an absolutely lovely, funny, smart and grounded person (in fact all the band members are exceedingly down to earth individuals). She has her own channel here on KZbin where she regularly posts covers of songs. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter/composer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen. The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is EXTREMELY varied. The "Symphonic" backing tracks of their music is composed in the majority by Tuomas and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This was the 13th song in this particular set, Floor is belting notes like that the entire set. Nighwish are almost always better experienced with LIVE versions of their songs if at all possible. Most new reactors are better off sticking with the Wacken 2013 set to begin with as it offers a taste of a lot of what Nightwish has to offer, they have multiple concerts though all of which are superb. Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Romanticide, Storytime, Ever Dream, Ghost River, I Wish I had an Angel, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders, I Want My Tears Back and Amaranth all from Wacken 2013 (pronounced Vacken). Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance. Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version. Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make a lot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way. Prepare for the Nightwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘

Loved this. Long time nightwish fan. You need to do more reactions! They have soooo many good songs. Look for one with Marko involved heavily.
