I would think Nightwish would be happy to be compared to great bands. 🎶

I think you are the only reactor that I've watched that immediately recognized the call back to Animal Farm! Brilliant reaction!!! 💛💛💛

Animal Farm !!!!!!! Whoo-hoo!!! Pure art this one. My daughter read this in 5th grade. Yes. She was/is an advanced reader. Great reaction !!!

No need to apologize. We all are inspired by someone. Tuomas once answered to the question, what's his fav song: ONE, METALLICA. So what? 😄🤘 Greetings from Germany 🤗 alex 🥀Ann 🍃

It will be interesting to see how you react to the poet and the pendelum, a very epic song. Thanks for your reaction see you for the next one🇬🇧

🤩👍💥💯🎼 🤘😎💙🎶

Pretty much every Nightwish fan knows exactly who inspired them, because Tuomas has always communicated this very clearly publicly. Is it necessary to interrupt the video every 2 seconds to comment on this point? Tuomas got his inspirations but raised the origin to a completely different level, so that only Metallica can come close to Nightwish.

No criticism. Tuomas was inspired to do metal after he saw a Metallica and Guns & Roses concert while studying in the US. No apologies needed.

I know sometimes the fans get weird about comparisons, but Tuomas is very open about his influences and the musical artists he takes inspiration from. As I've mentioned, he was inspired to go into metal in the first place specifically because he went to a Metallic and Guns n' Roses concert as an exchange student in the US during high school! There's a specific nod to an iconic Metallica riff in "The Greatest Show On Earth" as well! You're right, it's about how Tuomas takes these things and combines them, and there is absolutely a signature Sound in his work! This is a fantastic song and I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet that it's based on/inspired by the 1855 poem "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman. It's considered one of the most influential pieces of American poetry. It was an overall thematic influence on the entire album this came from, but this song very specifically. Honestly there is very much a lot of thematic stuff in Whitman's work and philosophy that you can see as influential on Nightwish as well!

Great reaction as usual!! Please remember that Ren is not well and he may look ripped but what you see is actually a sign of a person who is chronically ill and and it is truly a body dealing w/Malnutrition as he can only eat fresh meat and a handful of veggies. He recently learned his body can handle Rice so hopefully a carb can help him be more healthy and gain some weight. Can't wait for more releases of the tracks on his new album❤

Hello from Nightwish Army Sydney Australia. Tuomas went to a Metallica concert when he was an exchange student, or so I heard. I love the references to literature and science in Nightwish songs. Exploring those could keep you occupied for years. This song is the same title as a poem by Walt Whitman.

Yet another soul whose days on this earth are now divided to days before Nightwish, and the days after being introduced to them..

Great reaction! This was the song that introduced me to Ren about a yr and half and thank dog it came up on my youtube recommendation list!! I was hooked immediately. Love the Orewellian/Clockwork Orange influences❤

Again, nice attention to detail, catching the Animal Farm motif of best intentions and ideas of a revolution corrupting itself and being what it was countering. Works with his themes of Power (one of his songs) and the Money Game Trilogy, the idea from Sick Boi that we do it to ourselves

I like that your attention to detail indicates the influences. Nothing is fully original, even Ren (but he's close), but that doesn't mean it isn't unique or creative. Just one voice hear, but I appreciate that knowledge

The shot at the end reminded me of A Clockwork Orange scene with Alex and his droogs

I don't think that the influence of Metallica is a big secret. There's a bit of a nod to Metallica in the Nightwish track The Greatest Show On Earth - which you absolutely need to watch. Many people will nominate the live in Tampere version but I prefer the Wembley version. Floor also supported Metallica last year in Amsterdam.

Acoustic version next, 🙂

There is no need to apologize if you say something about influences. They have been always very open and clear about their influences. I don't how it is with other bands, but with Nightwish this whole influences thing is not a big deal or some taboo you can't talk about. Metallica, The 3rd and the Mortal, Pantera, Stratovarius, Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, Vangelis...

This song forever reminds us at Ann Carone Diamond Waychoff. Well known as the Mother of the Nightwish Army. She sadly left us at June 28, 2020. It was her favorite song. Rest in Peace dear Ann, we will never forget You. And Thank You Gabriel Bardac for carrying on the flame that Ann ignited. Nightwish Army South Germany.

This video is so freaking 🔥

From what I understand, this apartment belongs to a friend of his and is the same building that the inside scenes of Violet's Tale were filmed in.

Ren❤❤❤❤

There's a bts of this on his second channel, renmakesstuff

It IS Animal Farm!! I am so glad you knew this so many didn't!!!

🐰🤍 Was amazing to see this, Hi Ren & SH plus many many more in July. Best human #ren 🐰 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Welp, now you are obligated to do the live acoustic version of this song 😂 love this video too, its a one shot. There's a behind the scenes for it on rens second channel if you were curious 😁💜

pity you didn't use the dh version :(

Just an FYI, if you don't put the name of the artist or the the song in the title of your video, it does not come up with people are searching for reactions. Added your channel to the list of channels recommended by @RenReactionPlaylists you are now in 8 of their playlists!

Simon Garfunkel told David Draiman from Disturbed that this was his song now just like Bob Dylan told Jimi Hendrix that All Along The Watchtower was his song after the cover he did

Love this reaction. I don't know why, but on this video, I've shut off most reactors halfway through their commentary. I agree that Ren's artistry is maturing, which is surprising since he was already at such a high level. In his twitch stream, he says that the song/video are in part about being one's own worst enemy... So you got that exactly right

If you want to dip into some Japanese non idol metal, just a straight up band, but that will still likely catch you off guard LOVEBITES - Judgement Day live th-cam.com/video/yYEUGlFNBKc/w-d-xo.html I jumped on the mid tier Patreon if that helps XD At a later stage I will make an idol based suggestion, but for a quite different kind of group :D

Not sure why your thought went to the possibility of Gaia having something to do with his own mother but from everything he's said, that relationship is nothing but positive. In the song Su*c*de he says, "Useless my mother" & some people interpreted that as him saying she was useless. But the next line is, "Can't keep in my supper." He meant that all her efforts to try to prepare food that he could keep down were useless. He threw everything up. He said that, during. the years he lived at home with her in Wales, he watched her get thinner & thinner. Careworn in the truest sense of the word.

Just found your page after the release of this. Have spent the last 2 days catching up on all your previous reactions. Loving them subbed after the first one which is unusual for me liked you from the get go. Looking forward to more 😀

I'm sure others will tell you, but David was quite ill that night on Conan, but insisted on performing.... and still sounded amazing!

That song was made for him!! Yeah it goes hard....lol so beautiful ❤❤

Floor Jansen is one of the most versatile heavy metal singers and one of the most versatile bands being they are progressive metal band complimented by elements and colors of a symphony.

You should listen to the chapters playlist he has posted on his Ren Makes Stuff channel: th-cam.com/play/PLKFO0C0E7JcvUyYZSyte8omVITyIKoS17.html&si=Ih6PsJV7xd6KYbAV

Absolutely fantastic reaction!!! 💛💛💛

More ren please

Queen may be better known for their more melodic songs, but they had some absolute bangers. Hammer to Fall, Sheer Heart Attack, and Stone Cold Crazy just to name a few.

I loved your reaction! Thank you!!!💛💛💛

At the end of the oncert, you cut off the last song. Queen came back that night to sing "is this the world we created ". It was just Freddieand Brian/with his guitar. You stopped it, saying it was another concert, but it was this song...that I just said.

Another great watch mate. Bye bye Sick Boi...on to new chapters 😉🔥

David was very sick, 102 temp. Disturbed never uses auto tune, the producers of Conan, were afraid he couldnt hit some parts and added auto tune without him knowing. When David found out he was MAD!! David was also trained to be a Cantor ( his Grandpa was a Cantor in the largest synaguge in Israel)got kicked out due to a few fractions. Last one was, the Rabbi's van blew up😂

Loving your reactions. So much insight. I absolutely love this track - as a stand alone song and in the context of his illness. And the video - Its darkness, brutality, duality and honesty is beyond anything he’s done. And don’t get me started on the incredible use of the English language, imagery and iconography. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great work with the video. If I didn’t know I could never tell you had to ad the audio afterwards 🎉

Great reaction. Thank you for what you put into rescuing it!
