'I NEED To See Them!' Our Reaction to the INCREDIBLE Song, Romanticide - Nightwish
Hey y'all! This time we are back with our reaction to yet, ANOTHER NIGHTWISH TRACK! This time we hit up Romanticide. Obviously one of their more metal songs, we are, yet once again, under Floor's spell!
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland, known for their fusion of powerful orchestral arrangements, operatic vocals, and heavy guitar-driven sound. Formed in 1996, they quickly gained popularity for their unique combination of metal and classical influences. The band has undergone various lineup changes, including lead singers, but their music continues to be a hallmark of epic storytelling and emotional depth, drawing from fantasy, mythology, and nature. Their live performances are renowned for being immersive and theatrical, blending bombastic soundscapes with dramatic stage presence.
One standout performance is their rendition of "Romanticide" at Wacken Open Air 2013. This show, featuring Floor Jansen on vocals, is often hailed as one of the band’s most powerful moments. Jansen’s vocal range and stage energy were on full display, adding new life to the song with her commanding presence. The crowd’s enthusiasm and the intensity of the performance showcased the band's ability to captivate a massive audience, further cementing Nightwish’s legacy as a live powerhouse.

I was 9 years old. AM Radio 📻 I remember had 3 Dog Night, J5, and way too much Osmonds!!! Much love, Robert Duggan ❤🎉
🤘🖤🔥
I was 15-16 when grunge was at it's peak. I had the Singles OST on cassette, and, I wore it out!
This is a little taste of metal Nightwish. The 3rd single just dropped. Much heavier and more progressive. All Nightwish music comes to life on stage. Part of Floor's magic is on all these old songs she was unleashed to make them her own. She did not want to copy the studio versions or imitate Tarja or Annette.
Hi cuties, I love seeing your reactions on Nightwish. You genuinely enjoy their songs. I'm glad that my favorite band is attracting more and more fans around the world. They deserve it at least because they are 28 years old and still on the big stage. They never stop creating. I've been a fan of the band for maybe 20 years and look forward to every new song and album they release. I recommend you also react to one song from their album "Human Nature", namely Shoemaker. Hope to see her on your channel and hear your thoughts on her. Thank you for the reactions to my favorite band.
Shoemaker is a song from Nightwish worth checking out its studio / lyric video version. Especially in the last third or quarter Floor's voice gets magic. Something not captured in live recordings - at least not in the ones I've seen/heard.
Kick Ass!!!
Greetings from Finland. ❣️ Nightwish has so amazing music videos that i recoment you to check those also. 😍 But you are right about that, live version's have so much more energy.😅
Thanks for sharing your reaction to a song that explores themes of disillusionment, heartbreak, and the destructive nature of love - "romanticide" = suicide by/of romance. The lyrics depict a sense of emotional detachment and a feeling of being misunderstood by others.
There is one woman who is Floor's equal. She was in a rather interesting group in the 70's that mixed rock, jazz and classical music. Renaissance, their best album was Renaissance Live at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic. There are no videos. Someone did do a mash up to sync up the Carnegie Hall audio with a BBC video of the same song Ashes are Burning. Which is very good.
All their live versions have an edge that is not on the studio albums.
Welcome on board! This band is a gem! They are very worth of following - there's not a single bad song from them (imho). They are one of my holy trinity : Nightwish, Band-Maid and The Warning! Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
You're not wrong. I've always said, Floor is great in the studio, but she only gets her superpowers when performing live. And that's for all her projects, not just Nightwish. She was born to perform.
floor is always live ,
No song performed at Wacken 2013 was written for Floor to sing. Maybe you should start listening to albums made after 2013 and comparing their live performances. Just a thought... (btw, I barely listen to Sabaton so the fact that two people are married doesn't make me like Sabaton more, but I like Christmas Truce.)
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job guys
🤘🤘
I think most bands studio albums sound better. You can control the sound easier, and as you said...get it exactly perfect. Nightwish excels live. Sometimes recording quality isn't quite there and there are human things that happen. Wacken, Ratina, Wembley and Buenos Aires, even the Virtual show, Pink Pop and some other European shows. So consistently excellent live. This song, Romanticide, live. It is one of the performances that went past good, excellent, great, and outstanding all the way to stupid good. 12 on the scale that stops at 10. Wembley "seven Days to the Wolves" is another one.
Please watch Floor sucking in the energy of the crowd and getting healed from her flu. Dead boys poem live at Buenos Aires 2018 It looks like a cartoon where the normal one breathes in and gets the super power to concur the world and beat the evil❣️
Kind of a lame review, no original music just canned rock music, the commentary off in several instances, Not knowing what "American Woman" was about, common on!
Highly recommend checking out a Live performance. I saw them first 15 months ago as support to Muse and loved them immediately. The most popular song on YT is Enter Sandman cover with over 25 million views followed by Choke with over 8 million. They are currently dropping tracks from the Pepsi Centre concert from October 2023 on their channel - Disciple, 23, Choke, Z, Amour. All are great.
the scream gets me every time
Christmas truce. To the end and watch the names
To make you very jealous: being Dutch myself I saw Floor Last Saturday live in The Hague for the forth time: 3 times solo and once with Nightwish.
I concur! Saturday in the Hague was incredible🤘❣️
Same here! I was in The Hage as well. ❤
just epic performance... thx for sharing. ❤
Fresh garbage.The real deal is this way👉..east 2 the land of the rising Riffs..

Shudder Before the Beautiful, live performance at Wembley, is one of my top5 adrenaline rushes. And it took literal years for youtube to recommend studio version of the song (never heard it before). It was great, crisp, had parts of symphony I never heard in the live show, and yet I still get back to their concerts, since seeing the audience genuinely react to song as enthusiastically as me, is just heartwarming.
Yes, you;re right. If you were to go and listen to a track that you've already listened to, but hear the studio version, they do just sound better live. Therefore when I'm listening to tracks from the new album, I just imagine how it's going to sound like live. Not sure about Perfume of the Timeless, but I can kind of "hear" what The Day Of would sound like live, and I think it would be just as epic as their other live stuff.
8:30 "You think with Yesterwynde they're going in a different direction?". Clearly yes. It was in the works with H:N (their previous album) already and with the departure of Marko and the concomitant rise of Troy to prominence, the turn away from melodic metal into more of a (too) heavily orchestrated film-scorish folksy rock sound with Floor constantly and deliberately buried in the mix.. ehm.. (where was I..), yeah, the chance seems irreversible. Ppl call it evolving. I'm increasingly tempted to put a "d" before that term, so obviously I don't think it is a good direction. To me (just personal opinion, don't kill me) New Nightwish feels more & more like a Holopainen solo project, disguised as a band. Interestingly enough, Floor has recently voiced quite a few misgivings about NW's current trajectory (in Dutch metal magazine "Aardschok", Sept/Aug edition). It's about missing Marko as a great vocalist, Troy as a not so great one who is overused as a singer on this album, and the decision not to tour (Floor has been really p!ssed about that). It's all very diplomatically stated for a Dutchie ("Maybe Troy should've been singing less on this album"), but the Valkyrie Goddess is clearly not amused. It's also about the way Tuomas communicated (not!) when e.g. he doubled all of Floor's vocal parts with Troy's in the track "Sway". She only found out when she heard the finalized song, which sounded as if Floor had been duetting with Troy. "Tuomas' choice", she opined "won't comment on it any further". Due to circumstances, she did all of the vocal parts at her home studio and unfortunately had even less input in the pre-production than on previous albums "written for her voice" (which I find utter bs, to be quite honest). All the more reason for clear communication one would think, but that's not exactly Tuomas' strong suit. QED.
Ach, als ze weer eens live gaan zingen trekt Floor dit wel weer recht. Mooi verhaal overigens
@@pietkeizer5279 Zeker weten. Dat is waarschijnlijk ook waarom ze zo baalt van het niet op tournee gaan. Interview al gelezen? Tussen de regels is minstens even interessant als wat er gedrukt staat. Stevige uitspraken, zeker voor niet-NLers die onze spreekwoordelijke directheid misschien minder gewend zijn, maar je voelt gewoon aan alles dat ze nog steeds haar tong afbijt. Om de lieve vrede te bewaren giet ze e.e.a. in diplomatieke bewoordingen, omlijst met nogal obligate loftuitingen. Smullen! Doet toch een beetje denken aan de recht-voor-z'n-raap Floortje uit het After Forever tijdperk 🤘
I’m afraid there’s no direction at all. Tuomas is just wandering aimlessly across the vast and endless potato fields of Ireland, getting high on moonshine (judging by the lyrics). The beginning of the latest single sounds like a Sabaton song - it cannot get much worse than that. It is no metal, it’s plastic.
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Hah, the Metal Mozart fooled you again! It's not the lyrics, man. "Ocean" = fountain of eternal NW evolution / "Strange Islands" = the many NW songs referenced. Isn't that brilliant? H8ers claim it's lazy ♻Ctrl-V'ing. Yah but.. it's deliberate! Tuomas wills it! 😇
@@Columbasta …and so shall it be.🙏 Silly me… The poetry of Maestro Holopainen is far beyond the comprehension of this -go..- primitive being. Kind of like Whitman’s. I must be an evolutionary dead end or something…☹
Floor is a high sensitive person, so she feeds of the energy of a live crowd and gives it back in these kind of mindblowing performances. You can not recreate this in a studio. Floor was also the one who was not amused when the band agreed to keep live performances on hold for some time. She let that know during her solo shows shortly after that decision.
IMHO, most bands in the roams of rock and metal are usually better live. Sabaton, I don't like their albums too much, but I did enjoy seeing them live much more 😊
Nothing in the world, Nightwish or any other band, Live or studio, can top Nightwish 2013 Wacken Concert, Period!
Yes, Jukka had been a fantastic, very enthusiastic drummer. It is a pity that he had to stop drumming in 2014/2015 because of severe health problems. He is still with the band but now in management. His good friend Kai Hatho replaced him; he also is a great drummer but with a totally different style. And I love Emppu's guitar solo; he is a great artist - as all Nightwish members are - but never overplays as too many other guitarists do. The cry/glissando at the end originally was only sung by Marko (the song is from the Tarja era) but Floor joined him and both together made it something very special.
🤘🇫🇮🤘🫶
@AVFtS: I hope to see Floor as a guest at the EPICA concert next week in Amsterdam. 🤪Epica is doing a show with a whole orchestra and choir at AFAS. So I think, maybe it is time 4 u to check out the 2nd unbelievable Symphonic Metal Band in the universe > EPICA. Start with a soft one. Epica feat. Apocalyptica "Rivers" live AFAS. It is gonna be magical. Promised 🤩
Heads up! Nightwish( (literally just now) dropped a new song: "An Ocean Of Strange Islands"
Because Floor is better live, the songs are usually better live. There are only a few exceptions, like this one. This only works poorly on recordings from festivals because the ending doesn't fit there: NIGHTWISH - Shoemaker (Official Lyric Video)

The guitar player ist Emppu. But Marko and Jukka, the drummer have leave the band (2020 and 2014). So the don't play these Songs again. Marko is a great loss as co-singer. Jukka Koskinen, the new bass player didn't sing as Marko.
i was there
Nightwish, one of the view bands that sound best live. The music videos and studio stuff are all good but they don't have the energy of live shows.
According your face expression more than 20 years old song still hits like a hammer. Great show indeed. Still my opinion is that concert almost quarter century they perform they best at the Pakkahuone (From Wishes to Eternity) It is even great to hear now even there was no digital equipment for tuning and recording - but the best was the drive that they have.
Well,the digital age in the music industry started already in the 80s,so what do you mean with "no digital equipment",that's nonsense.🤨
Sorry; but no studio recording can beat Floor and Nightwish Live. Even when Floor is heavily pregnant and completely at the end of her rope (like last year), she tops every studio production. Studio technology cannot replace interaction, band and audience.
I agree partially. Floor is no studio singer. You can't argue about the taste or music what is the bets a not, but I live from 1997 to 2008 the are studio songs that are as good or better than Nightwish live. Then it is more how extremely good Hietala, Nevalainen and Vuorinen are playing.
My favourite none live production is Endless Forns Most Beautiful. Lyric video. Thanks. Keep rocking. 🤘🤘 th-cam.com/video/VUb1p8fm7Ag/w-d-xo.html
Thank you peeps for your reaction, Storytime my fav short song but "The Poet and The Pendulum" and "The Greatest Show on Earth" both Wembley live songs are my #1 and 2. Romanticide is from their "Once" album, Tarja was the singer as to were a lot of the songs at Wacken Floor sang. I prefer Floor's vocals so my playlist for Nightwish are all her singing.
Very Americocentric when most of what was changing rock was happening across the ocean
So am I. It was a great show from start to finish.
The Warning has performed at various major festivals, like Rock am ring, Rock am park, Wacken and Pol'and'Rock. And opened for Guns n Roses, Halestorm, Three days grace, Muse, the Killers and Def leppard just to name a few.
