What does a Motörhead Roadie think of NIGHTWISH Dark Chest Of Wonders Live At Wacken 2013?

[@gabriel_bardac]

Hello Joel "Roadie" Miller [Party Like a Rockstar Podcast] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was 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. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘

[@ecbftl]

Nightwish always gives credit to their fantastic technical team, including the director and video team that made the concert video from which this song is the opener, all the credits down to the bus driver are after the final song of this show, which was "Last Ride of the Day". They have a lot of respect for their crew. During the pandemic when they could not tour the most recent album, they supported the crew covers of Nightwish songs as "Crewish". Nightwish just finished a big European tour at the end of this month, after a quick North American, then an extensive European Summer festival tour (playing along side bands like Metallica/Black Sabbath) and a short fall South American tour. Along the way Floor was diagnosed with Breast cancer and had surgery for it in early November before the European tour started 20 Nov. So far all is good for her.

[@Anders_Eriksson]

Ecbftl They also gave all the profits from the merch buissines to their crew during covid for support. They genuinly care.

[@londonloukx2691]

This only just the beginning of the Nightwish rabbit hole. So many songs, so many different sounds. That was only a small sample of Floor Jansen's voice.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

During the period that touring wasn't allowed, Nightwish gave their roadies permission for them to make an album using their songs and whatever style the roadies wanted. It was released under the name "Crewish". They did this to provide income when the roadies otherwise could not earn any.

You have NO IDEA what you just opened. Nightwish is what you didnt know you wanted to know. Just saw them in Prague one week ago and they kick ass from start to the end. They have become my favourite band ever ❤️💪🎸🎤🎹

[@jsmoor4988]

Hello, I’m still amazed that people like you in the music industry and worked for great bands never ever did hear of Nightwish?! They are almost 30 years around and probably got one of the biggest fanbase, not only at concerts but also online. Enjoy the ride !

I agree with you. Motörhead and Nightwish were often on the same festival. Maybe, he was sleeping 😴

As a roadie you'd probably enjoy working for them, because they're surrounded by the quality crew and always give credit to all the people that make their show possible.

[@andrelglinnenbank2856]

Perhaps the song requested was Night Witches by Sabaton (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4qzoGuwedCpr5Y). A song about female pilots in WWII. Dark chest of wonders was the opening in Wacken. Just to get everybody in the mood and introduce Floor s the new singer. Most people start with Ghost Love Score, where Floor shows off much more of the styles she is able to sing in. Though she does not growl in that song. Many people will suggest you look into GLS, as a next song and Gabriel will be here soon to give you more of a road map and some history.

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

This is fire! In more ways than one.

[@papaverweg]

Welcome into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish and their incredible talented female vocalist Floor Jansen (pronounce Yahn-Sen). Although the band is Finnish, their 3rd singer is not, she is Dutch, lives with her husband Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of the band Sabaton and daughter in Sweden. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career (initially) just as the 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 (shortly after the Wacken Open Air festival concert 2013) 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.

[@mubbles1066]

Glad you decided to react to this band..this is with their 3rd singer Floor Jansen,a 6’1” Dutch vocal beast who’s had classical training and been with the band since 2012.They’re definitely a band that are better live,their studio stuff is good but it’s their live performances where they shine…they go from operatic though to rock,folk,Celtic and on to thrash and everything in between,hope you decide to dip your toe into some more.

[@kerimmejdoub1381]

Now you opened a can of worms...🤣 Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal with Nightwish. Now the Nightwish Army will flood your channel with lots of information and requests. And boy are you in for a treat! I would recommend to react to "Ghost Love Score" next from the same concert and you will be blown away. After that, Gabriel will come along and fill you in further.

Great start to the Nightwish concert of 15 songs. Floor Jansen is an exceptional singer and you have just heard only a fraction of which she is capable. By the way, saw Motorhead a few times in the early days and met Lemmy in the pub next door to the venue, nice bloke. Had already seen him in Hawkwind a few years earlier !! This was at a venue long gone in North Norfolk, UK, called West Runton Pavilion. Happy days.

[@majbrat]

I hope you check our more Nightwish - they are the BEST!!! Floor, the singer is married to the Drummer of Sabaton. Also, they probably meant for you to watch Sabatons song "Night Witches". The Animated one is great. The mix up just means this was meant to be!!! :)

I respect that , but, NW (for me) are on a whole different level to the rest. I've given them all a good go and although most of these bands have their moments I don't get hooked by ANY of them while some in this genre I find outright annoying . Tuomas and Floor are the magic beans (not belittling the obvious contribution of Emppu and Troy) and I think it's this sets NW apart as extraordinary in any genre, in any era.

[@jamesnelson1968]

@@timotimo4152 While there only a few bands that have the longevity of Nightwish, such as Therion, Epica, and Within Temptation, I find good music in many of the lesser known ones. None of them are exactly like NW and if that is all you enjoy, oh well.

Nightwish is one of the rare bands whose live performances are even better than their studio productions. They just draw energy from the crowds.

[@kimmikke_]

The Female Vocalist Floor Jansen (Dutch) is Sabaton drummer Hannes van Dahl's (Swedish) wife and they live with their daughter in Sweden. So you were touching very close to Sabaton. Nightwish is a Symphonic Metal pioneer (and many think the trendsetter) and the band was created on 1996 and also has some very heavy Metal songs compared to Pantera even, but mostly on the Heavy Band sound combined with Symphony orchestral instruments and very versatile singing vocalist range of 4 octaves and can also sing classical/operatic parts as an effect when needed. On this springs PinkPop Festival in Netherlands Metallica's James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich were checking Nightwish part gig and complimented them for their unique style, tight band playing and Floor Jansens heavenly singing. It pays out to react to them more - next "Ghost Love Score" which literally drops down 99,98% of peoples jaws..

[@mariodriessen9740]

Motörhead was the first 'big' band I ever saw live. This was when they just replaced Fast Eddie Clarke with Brian Robertson, "the man with the fuckin' haircut", as Lemmy told us. 'Big' was very relative in the world of hardrock in those days. The venue was crammed with 1000 people. Lemmy entered the stage with a gigantic spliff in the corner of his mouth. After the last song Philthy Animal Taylor was so drunk, his roadies had to carry him off the stage. Ten minutes later the same roadies (I assume) carried him back to drape him over his drum stool. He couldn't stand on his feet. And then he played 'Overkill' like a monster!!! Hahaha... I'll never forget it. Anyway, Jukka (the drummer of Nightwish back in 2013) was a monster on the drum kit as well. The whole band and this entire concert is fantastic. Please, watch a few more. You won't regret it.

Also another great songs from this album are Nemo and Planet Hell.🤘

How is it possible that roadies of Motörhead didn’t know NIghtwish.? Nightwish and Motörhead were many times on the same concerts for example here in Wacken 2013.

Thnx 4 this. Go on with the stuff. Welcome to the Nightwish army^^. Please listen to Song of myself at Wacken. And, i am sure this will leave you speachless, the Gratest show on earth at Tampere. Due to Marco's voice , the wiking bassman, give The phantom of the opera a try, the"old" Nightwish singer Tarja will show her quality as well. Peace from Germany and please stay save

When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: Energize me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJvQZXWog6aZbNU Monolith of Doubt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXQfHuhht1na7c Dreamflight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWSQkHlvpderaqs Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). Here is a link to a part of a TV show (with english subtitles) of the reunion of the class of the Rock Academy with mostly backstage footage of the Tampere concert of Nightwish in 2015: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGSxepmrZdapqsk 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song. Here are some examples: Misery’s no Crime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX-zlqaCe7mhi8k Disdain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnrUq4OOr814q9k Wild card: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faG9fnl3gb6YfcU Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmoqZ6jjLCAe7c Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see:: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHLMgZiJqNZ3Y5Y A suggestion to a christmas song sung by Floor. Here is a link to a performance in Finland with a special guest with the best seat you could imagine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r56UiJZrmdKIj8U Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on KZbin. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa:, kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6LHp3mGd6yBZsU and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5a3qnSQqbtoras As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered KZbin in the last year. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4jCZHlnbZuSa7M Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (5 years old), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.
