Nightwish packing 4.6bn years into 20minutes and the result is pure awesomeness! 😊
Who writes like this? Who plays like this? No one.
@@WardDorrity Dip into the world of prog rock and you´ll find many such gems as these.
@@praapje Prog rock and I go way back. I'm 70, so that should place me in the early prog era. I was and remain a big fan of Yes, Procol Harum and a few others whose names escape me at the moment. I was also into just about everything else. Electronic music from Walter (now Wendy) Carlos to Karlheinz Stockhausen and Jean Michel Jarre. Jazz, classical, you name it. Modern pop and rap is a stinking dumpster fire. I never cared for metal as it was to me loud, discordant decidedly uncreative and angry for reasons I could never quite discern. I left prog rock behind when it all got a little too pretentious and boring. Nightwish on the other hand utterly blows me away with their off the charts creativity and sheer glorious musicality. This is what I'd been wanting to hear all these years. The other thing that I think that a lot of folks miss is that Tuomas is a masterful poet and lyricist. There's a remarkable depth to his compositions, and the meaning behind his work is breathtaking. The totality of Nightwish's work is that they can send your mind and heart soaring. And Floor has the ability to sing right into your soul.
@@WardDorrity Everybody´s got different tastes. I hear alot that prog rock can be pretentious and sometimes it can imo. I do not care for virtuosity for virtuosity´s sake. It has to fit into the whole and serve a purpose. I´m not that well versed in prog rock or music in general, I just know what I like and appreciate. I respect the craftmansship of Tuomas and the whole band and I do like many songs. I do have other favorite bands and artists, but that´s just a matter of taste.
Best explanation of this great song. Perfect
Well done Sarah for picking up those references to other music. It basically goes the history of music in less than 20 seconds to illustrate how short it is compared to the whole evolution
yep metallica enter sandman
not only that, it goes about the evolution of Tuomas himself. he has stated in plenty of interviews that he went to study in America, and while he was there, visited a concert of Metallica, and that is the moment he became a metalhead. so as in the song, you could see this as the (re)birth of the Tuomas we all love so much
Someting fun in this part is that Toccata & Fugue was also used as the opening of a late-70's anime named "Once upon a time, Man", that also pictured the history of Earth forming and life and human history. I don't know if Tuomas did this on purpose but if he did it's cool ^^ th-cam.com/video/dfnLa4B-Pbg/w-d-xo.html
@@febed01 Good catch! I'm pretty sure Tuomas knew that TV series very well because it was very popular in Finland during the 1980s when he was a child. Being a Finn (and only a few years younger than Tuomas) I should have noticed that connection, too, but I failed. I personally liked the related series "Once Upon a Time... Life" a more and it had different music, though.
What evolution ?
And Sarah got it right. They had little pieces of different musical genres at one point. The song is about the evolution of everything, so Tuomas thought it was a great idea to also ad the evolution of music.
Teachers: How should we teach evolutionary history?
Nightwish: Hold my PhD.....
The teacher should start by showing this fan illustrated version:
Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth (Music Video)
th-cam.com/video/IJb3xwtpmmc/w-d-xo.html
Imagine having a teacher like Tuomas and Floor?
Nightwish gets you to look things up, the best way to learn.
Her dress has two reverences, the finnisch Flag (blue/white) and the structure of DNA.
Double whammy!
The timing of the fireworks is actually made possible because they used the signal from the band's clicktrack. Nightwish uses clicktracks to synchronise their performance with the orchestral / choral backing track and the visuals. These days fireworks engineers use a similar kind of system to program their displays. So it was in fact not that hard for Tuomas to play in synch with the fireworks. The hard part was done by the fireworks engineer in preparing it.
Great info, thanks
@@paisa20 That is possible but I'm sure in this case someone confirmed they were done manually.
@@rbeckrbeck3593 it's possible that, for safety reasons, the fireworks have to be manually started BUT the operator follows the click-track as if he is part of the band: he's just "playing" a different instrument...😅
👋🇮🇹🖖
Yep, Fireworks crew used in ears. They tested that everything worked the night before. The launch station was located behind stadium and they used manual launch control with click track & in ears for timing.
And Tank the Tech reactor gives a very detailed and professional description of all this on his reaction to this song.
It was summer in Finland. That's basically how dark it gets....
That was very cold and dark summerday. But those clouds gave it great dramatic for the concert.
Let’s hope they play right to the very end of the video and don’t miss anything ,I’m sure they will love this as we will 🇬🇧 army ready
The song is about the evolution of the Earth, biology and life. And a little section has the evolution of music, with Minuet in G Major and Metallica's classic Enter Sandman riff followed by some electronic dance music.
Kai threw in a dubstep beat too.
You forgot about Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Why does nobody notice it?! It's such a famous piece and it's SO obvious that's what they're playing.
@@PlugInKali At what minute please? Still not over with this song, every time there's a new thing.
Almost everyone also misses what sounds like cavemen grunting in harmony which then transitions into ancient tribes chanting which then transitions into what you would hear if you walked into a church in medieval times
@@ecblanco 35:04, Gregorian chant, 35:18 Harpsichord,
35:25 the bass thumping like a Steam Engine, The Industrial Revolution!
34:33 Banjo, 35:43 "Enter Sandman" riff, 35:47 Electronic Drum Machine beats.
The song is based on the book The Greatest Show On Earth: The Evidence For Evolution by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. That’s him doing the spoken word bits. The song covers the evolution of the universe, the planet, life, the rise and eventual fall of mankind. Tuomas studied biology in school and Floor wanted to be a biologist when she was a kid. They are a very science-y band.
They have discoveries named after them!
This was the concert that also Floor's parents were in the crowd. That's also why she seemed extra emotional
This is my fave of the big 3. I’m a biology/science nerd and so this song checks all the boxes for me. Lyrically , musically, vocally …masterpiece. I love the first piano piece as it makes you feel like nothingness and just floating though space then “bang” the collisions and beginnings of Earth then early life forms, then more advanced life, then humans are the last piece and the change of tone/music as well as the relative length of discussion of humans in comparison to the rest of song is like the fact that humans are a speck in the time of Earth’s evolution over 4.6 billion years. I love the fact the cameras caught the twins in this song (DNA personified in the identical twins) and Floor’s dress is perfect double helix (even the rivets would correlate to the DNA base pairs and how connect). We were here indeed🤘
Yes, it is not just a cool Metal Song. You have to understand what it is about. The Lyrics are important. The Story of Evolution. Love the Piano Pieces from Tuomas Mozart 2.0 Holopainen
The greatest show on earth is the evolution, biology and life. As we are part of this, we can say: WE WERE HERE!!!
100% guaranteed that we will be watching them perform this song in front of 3,000 people in NYC. At the end of the concert we will be able to say 'WE WERE HERE!' while we're standing in the rubble of what once was Terminal 5 🤘
Darn. I actually have to go into the office for the first time in over 15 months…guess I’ll have this little gem to listen to when I get home.
The bagpipes are real bagpipes, not electronic, they are so called Uillean Pipes i.e. Irish bagpipes. They are the more evolved version of the standard bagpipes where instead of blowing into them Troy has a set of bellows strapped to him which operates with this right elbow. And if I am not mistaken he can also switch tunings because it has several sets of playing pipes attached to it.
I have seen him play quite a lot with his 'previous' band Iona which was a Celtic progressive rock / pop band.
and the fact not to blow, permit to sing and playing together
If you want to see a close-up of the instrument and what can be done with it, the late
Liam O'Flynn can help you : th-cam.com/video/YMvBnEvuBuA/w-d-xo.html
Very simillar to bohemian bagpipes (also called "bock"), also "operated" by elbow.
Actually, Sarah, that was a brilliant reaction! Not the first one I silently liked how quick you got some points. No offense Tom, but your co-host is doing damn well!🤭 🤘
And, unlike her husband, she doesn't look like someone has put I pile of poo under her nose
better than his
What a fantastic band....they even give credit to the bus drivers! How cool is that?! 👍🏻💖
Fyi - Troy starts by playing an Irish Tin Whistle (same instrument from the Titanic theme). Later, he plays the Uillean pipes, also known as the Irish pipes, which is a relative of Scottish bagpipes.
Yes, Bach & Metallica!
We will be hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Sarah ‘ says to Tom ‘ I love a good Tom’ 😂😂
Good on you Sara, very few reactors pick up the musical references in that one "quiet" section. Great reaction guys! BTW, this song makes me cry every time.
WE WERE HERE! This is the most epic piece of music and performance by pretty much any band on earth. Nice reaction and thank you.
Of course, they have a more European, non-religious view of the universe and evolution, which is certainly a view I share, but I'm sure Tuomas and the rest of the band would be the last people to try to force their views onto others. This is just an amazing, huge, ambitious piece of music.
I'm pretty certain that they will be closing out their World Tour shows with this and that may have already been hinted at with the recent on-line concerts. My wife and I are due to see Nightwish at Wembley in December and as this COVID stuff comes to an end, we're hoping that it won't be delayed again.
Last Ride Of The Day
"We live, in every moment but this one
Why don’t, we recognise, the faces loving us so?
What’s God, if not, the spark that started life?"
The showcase of the musical medley actually starts when they got into the "Toolmaker" section, where they showcases transcends styles and genres by exploring the subject of evolution in itself being a progressive, evolving journey. Its all started with the early civilazation music with tribal drumming and chanting, and then fast forward through that part, in few seconds, they goes through the Gregorian chant in Dies Irae from Mozart, Bach’s tunes from Minuet in G Major and Fugue in D Minor, followed by Metallica’s Enter Sandman riff, and finally a short measure of techno or electronic music representing rap/hip-hop and 90s dance music.
You missed the banjo part. :)
@@nielsdegroot9138 ah yes, the classic banjo folk sound just before the Enter Sandmand riff 👌🏼🤘🏻
Have you heard the instrumental version? Oooooh!
The length of this reaction is just fine. Your genuine feelings and your both thoughts matters. Lovely to see you both diving to Nightwish universe and like with this song, I get emotional every time in front of Tuomas's genius way to handle human heart and mind.
My loved hometown - Tampere! ❤️
I was there.
Great job! I briefly looked through the comments to see if anyone hit on this but didn't see anything. The song is the entire history of life. The piano intro, I believe, is the formation or carbon, amino acids, etc. The explosions were heavier molecules being formed in the hearts of stars and supernovae. Then, when the music changes, DNA and life begins. Later is the extinction event and the rise of mankind, others have pointed out the evolution of music...etc.
There's a little documentary, that includes this concert. It's called "De Reunie". Floor and some of her classmates from the Rock Academy Tilburg meet each other and chat about their lives. The one part with Floor you can find with english subtitles. The show-host is meeting her at this day in Tampere. Worth watching... and it's probably a good idea to have some tissues ready ;-)
I love your reactions to this Nightwish are in a league of there own and Tuomas is an absolute genius , phenominal.
Nightwish is a lifetime journey to humanity and nature. This is a masterpiece. I was working in that show as a member of stage crew and it was magical night..once again. Floor’s parents were there also. Very nice and humble people 🙏🏻❤️
They are beyond words..and come for a small town in Finland that is about half hour from my home town..
Nice reaction Tom & Sarah. 👏🏻
I was there. At the end of the catwalk. Front row.
The stadium is only 15 minutes away from my home. Great memories.
Greetings from Finland. 🤟🇫🇮
I think this is the best version. The Wembley version is excellent too: worth watching as you get Richard Dawkins looking rather uncomfortable as he comes out on stage but also Troy doing some really atmospheric work on guitar with EBow at the start(which this version lacks).
@Ted Love a sold out Wembley area isn't exactly small fry.
@Ted Love Cant do the fireworks inside Wembly, they can in larger outdoor shows, like Tampere.
Marco, Troy and Floor together the cavemen sound. In the online concert it was only Floor and Troy. That's when Floor really got started.
The greatest show on earth is the story from the Big Bang to humanity today.
35:43 And yes, your wife is right. Emppu has briefly played "Enter the sandman" by metallica. That was Tuomas homage to his favorite band.
Your reaction was great. But also proves once again that America is the North Korea of the music industry. Completely isolated and nothing comes in if you are not taken by the hand and taken out of the cage. 😁
Btw. In the credits even the bus driver is mentioned. This shows once again what kind of band this is.
The enter sandman part is also a part of the evolution of music that plays just before it
North American pop music is a burning dumpster fire. Loud, angry, insipid and vile by turns. For example, another commenter stated that, compared to the talent on offer from Nightwish, Miley Cyrus was nothing more than a fart on a snare drum.
I do agree on you; well done, in a succinct manner, concisely.
Really good comment, but please allow me to correct you on one thing: TGSOE doesn't start from the Big Bang (the creation of the universe) but from the creation of the Earth (which happened billions years after).
IMO, the piano intro represents our planet orbiting around the sun, still without life, then the fireworks came in representing the two massive bombardments of asteroids/comets which brought water, chemicals and maybe even the amminoacids life needed to start from.
Even Troy's solos may be representative of two different stages of early life evolution, as if the Tin Whistle "evolved" into the Uillean Pipes. (Just my two cents tho...😉)
👋🇮🇹🖖
@@flaviovergottini652 An astute observation, sir.
You did it together! Hooray!
What an awesome show.
Dusk and snow, with fireworks.
Shock and Awe?
No wonder you were feeling a bit drained, even if you didn't feel the time.
Watch it 20 more times. It gets better every single time.
You two are a great couple, loved this reaction. From this song the new album Human Nature actually continues, you should do that album together and specially the second album Nature. They do close the concerts with this song, hopefully on this coming tour also. Hope you two will do The Poet And The Pendulum together in the near future, you can for sure make that a special occasion, the song is that amazing. Thank you both for this.
Dear Tom and Sarah. Thank you so much for this video. I was waiting for this. And how great that you get to see this awesone band live! Enjoy and keep reacting to more Nightwish😁
Although I never got to see Nightwish live.... I did get to see RUSH in the UK and witnessed the 9 minute drum solo of Neil Peart... that was awesome! It was one of those moments that makes you appreciate being alive to witness such a thing.
That is definitely one of their most beautiful performances, and it moves you. You should both check out Poet and the Pendulum, before you should read the Open Letter which is an easy google search away, and signed by Tuomas, Emppu, Marko, and Jukka(the original drummer) firing Tarja. They gave this to her as soon as they ended their final concert together (End of an Era). She was the face of Nightwish at the time, and dear in all their hearts, especially Tuomas who considered her a must to many of the songs he had written at that point. She cried on tv, and denies it all, but the band made it clear what they felt in the letter. Tuomas was painted as the devil by many then and went through a deep dark depression. He even considered ending the band and committing suicide. He wrote The Poet and the Pendulum at that time, and actually kills himself in the song. He said he killed himself in the song, as to not do it in real life. To this day every time he plays it, it takes him back to those feelings, and shows on his face. In the last part, Mother and Father, words are sung to him that his real mother said to him at the time of this darkness in him. Nice reaction, and please let me know you read this. Ty.
Bear in mind too, the song is written backwards, it starts at the end and finishes at the beginning as can be heard if you listen very carefully.
the familiar guitar part sarah was talking about was the riff from enter sandman tom! there were many references to famous pieces of music over the centuries, most people only usually pick up the guitar riff and none of the others, impressed she got another one!
And the funny thing is almost no one gets the "Toccata and Fugue" reference, although it hits you right in the face.
Emppu is underrated. Thank you for giving him props.
Most bands with much less complicated music would have 2 or 3 guitarists.
Emppu does the rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and special solos in extremely intricate & changing melodies. Has to drink his beer on the go! LoL
Now he has a bit of help from Troy and of course Marko gave him a break now and then, but he is remarkable in his own right. :)
Btw also watch the wembley version to see some cool production differences like Troy using an eBow so his guitar sounds like a cello- so cool. A few other differences as well that are good.
It's worth watching.
I have to watch this one if for no other reason than to watch your head explode.
Still picking up the brain matter
@@TomTuffnuts LOL - you and everyone else who listened to this the first time - including me.
@@TomTuffnuts Tom when you do Poet & Pendulum do this version with your wife as it has lyrics :)
The Poet And The Pendulum - Nightwish. HQ with lyrics. Live @ Wembley 2015
th-cam.com/video/iEzZRMthhXU/w-d-xo.html
This man is precious to humanity and must be protected at all costs.
This was in Tampere, Finland, on July 31st. The sun set at ~10pm, so pretty normal concert time.
a great reaction, sarah. thank you.
Nightwish has been working for years together with the London Session Orchestra and choir. So we can hear a real orchestra and choir sound on the backtrack. Tuomas plays of course his parts with the keyboards. Floor can growl too, so it could be Marko, Troy or Floor. Well done reaction from your wife, she has good points listening these videos. By the way, could it be possible to get rid of those purple dots surrounding the small video screen. They cover your wife's face quite disturbingly. Overall great reaction.
I just did your wife’s song on my stream today. Omg Sarah. Wow. You’re amazing 🤩 that song had me like 😯 what a gorgeous voice. My stream is still up if you wanna see! ❤️ oh yeah, enjoy TGSOE!!!! The best 20 min song in the world!!!!!
Not only is this one of my favorite Nightwish songs, I feel like its probably one of the best songs ever written. Great reaction, you two!
Sarah is like."that was nice, that was cool!" Tom "shattered and broken and reconsidering his life" ...yeah.
😂 Love it. Yeah, that's how it feels. To the bones, to the soul.
You haven't seen "Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley yet? Haven't you? 😂😂😂
But make sure to put captions!! Lyrics are crucial!
I hope Tom will not die while watching that one xD But the heart attack is possible...
@@WDC_wolf well... I wouldnt put my neck on the line! :P
Tom you are awesome, and I love Sarah, she is amazing... Most people needs more than one listen to catch those details!!! It is the beginning of Bach's minuet for harpsichord in G major, followed by his famous fugue in D minor.
There is a banjo, too!!!
WOW really looking forward to this one!
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah!
I've been at Nightwish concerts three times and every single one really was mindblowing. This band is symphonic metal at it's best !
Great review guys. First time viewing your channel, love it. Will be seeing Nightwish this October in L.A. Every time I see this video it gets more emotional each time.
There is no shame admitting that you almost cried. I'm a proud metalhead MAN and I did that when i first heard this Song. And still do.
The grow is Floor!!! Listen to yours is an empty hope. The talking at the end, is Richard Dawkins. In the video he comes on stage and says it.
Thanks for a good reaction i was there and i feel it in my heart i live in Tampere... keep going guys
Thanks, so fun to watch a great song with you both.
Your wife was spot on with the little music pieces that were representing the evolution of music along side the evolution of Earth .
MASTERPIECE! I’ll be here!👋👋👋
Wonderful reaction fella. That look in your eyes at 28 minutes made me proper laugh out loud! Your brain will explode when you see 'em live pal!! 😉 🤘 🤘
Troy was playing a Low Whistle in the beginning, then he was playing the Irish Uileann Pipes they are driven by bellows under the right arm were the scottish pipes are blown into Also Sarah is correct it is groot. If you notice Floors outfit represents the DNA strands of life. the animals growls are all three of them. I'm not sure you really got it , the creation of Earth (big bang - fireworks) the creation of life (Human , Animals) the destruction of mankind.
not sure if it is the big bang as their is a lot of discussion on this actually being the creation of the moon as the big bang was eons before but it matters not...either would work.
I believe Floor’s dress is a symbol of the Finnish flag.
Her dress in fact has a double helix
@@mdog2560 both DNA strings and the colors of the Finish flag
@@mdog2560 It is, also.
That was pretty special, thanks guys 🤘
it took like 3 times of watching this .. to take it all in ... this is an amazing piece .. an experience to be sure ... you guys did really good at reacting to this .. when you recover .. Poet and Pendulum is an amazing one also .. you and your wife would love this one together ..
Tom, just bumped into this reaction of Sarah and you today. Really enjoyed the reaction. I fully relate to what you say in the end. Actually, I am a Nightwish fan for over 2 years now (after seeing Floor in Beste Zangers) and guess what the first Nightwish song was I saw and listened to...
Your wife might love thein newest album. Especially the second part of the album. It's instrumental.
Oh well dude...welcome to the Nightwish army. You are an official member now. You feel it ..you`re in mate. Welcome to the family. Took you long enough :)
The big one……looking forward to this
Please do more reactions with Sarah, you do a great team, she is so into it and clever!
He actually looked exhausted at the end of the song but recovered halfway till the end of the video.
This is the only song so far to which I don't binge through the reaction channels, can't take more than one a day.
This was the first reaction I saw with someone mentioning the Halloween theme, which was my first thought when I originally heard it.
Troy is playing a certain type of bagpipes, Not the Highland Pipes like most people think of but the Irish Pipes also known as the Uilleann Pipes.
I share your wonder at this band and have only fallen down the rabbit hole in the last year , I’m old enough to have been at concerts possibly classed as classics : AC/DC with Bonn Scott, Floyd the Wall in ‘79, Rush, UFO,Lizzy, led Zep one off concert at lone O2 in 2007 but I’m more excited about having tickets for Nightwish Birmingham and Wembley shows 2021 ..
Yes man is a low Irish whistle chored in low D! You are not wrong . And Uillean pipes !Tuomas Holopainen is an increndible orchestrator and composer . Genious! Is the magician ! Great song guys! That is why we love Nightwish ! Great epic music! Marko Hietala and Floor Jansen , great duet !
I never, and i mean NEVER comment on videos, but ive seen alot of reaction videos - and this one gave me alot. The way you guys just kept silent and soaked it all in in the ending of the video.
And also your reaction to that part especially, was amazing. Thank you for a great experience, and for sharing the moments with us! `\W/
So happy you enjoyed it with us!
I was there already. But I'll be here again.
my fav of nightwish by far!
LOL Tom you went on a ROLLERCOASTER with this song. If i could screenshot all your emotions in a collage it would be huge haha. This song is god dang amazing and brought me to tears at the end.
I was there that night. Magical. Sonata Arctica and Children of Bodom warming up NW. I hope I could live that night again. Floor was stunning in person and their background visuals take you somewhere out of place and time!
There is only one Tuomas Holopainen ❤️ I'm so glad I found Nightwish. Never knew I could feel this way of any band. Still waiting my first concert. By the way, for Poet and bendulum you don't need snacks. You need tissues.
So Sarah noticed the Enter Sandman riff and not you? Tom, you need at least a dozen of Metallica songs reactions to make amends. :D
And I'm not ever requesting Bach reactions :P
Bach be like: "Am I nothing to you" 😜
Tom was too emotional to pick up any details...
Every song Tuomas writes has a backtrack of the London Symphony and various choirs singing along in the background and so does this song. BTW, I read when they first started they got panned very hard by the media because of their lack of a production. I think that's why they have such an awesome production now. Floor's parents were in the crowd that night. There's a documentary about them being there on YT.
"We do have children to take care of at some point."
"... They'll be fine on their own."
And that pretty much sums this one up 🤘
we WERE here :(
50:00 I was here 🤘😎🤘 you guys are awesome. Sara did an amazing job hijacking the show at the start as well 🤣
You Sir are a Champ! Glad you enjoyed!
imagine playing that thumping bass and singing at the same time without looking at what you're doing on the bass, only Marco
Loved seeing you 2 enjoying this master piece, WE WERE HERE!!!!
Missed ya today! Hope you are well
@@TomTuffnuts Yea sorry couldn't be there, had a dinner from work, to bad tho you didn't used the link i had send you with the lyrics for Sarah, but loved it and you both loved it too, also check the little doc i send you about Floor's reunion at the rock academy there you will also see her parents at Tampere (it's very emotional)
It's traditional Irish bagpipes later named Uilleann pipes (uilleann meaning elbow in Irish) because unlike Scottish bagpipes where you blow up the bag, you pump up the bag with bellows under one elbow and press the bag under the other elbow. The first instrument is a low tin whistle.
Loved that ,glad you noticed the other tunes in there like Enter sand man and Bach , and Floor in her double helix dress ,Troy on his pipes and the drums best ever plus so so so much more in this masterpiece ! Over six hundred tracks layer down by Tuomas and London philharmonic orchestra .
Metal Mozart he is
Even Floor's singing styles reflects the evolution of singing - she demonstrates almost every kind of singing - in almost every octave!!
And I have to say that Sarah - you are really listening without loosing yourself in the music - I couldn't do that 👍👍👍👍
By the way - when Tuomas wrote this masterpiece - it was 30 minutes, but they cut it down to this more concentrated masterpiece - where you actually looses time and place.
He got the inspiration from Troy - who gave Tuomas some books of Richard Dawkins to read. Tuomas even wrote a handwritten letter to Richard Dawkins - and he answered - and came on stage on the Wembley show - abd he is doing all the background speaking.
Both Tuomas, Troy and Floor are deeply into the evolution and nature in general.
Great reaction from you 👍 🤘 🤘
🇫🇮😊🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁🎢✨👍👍
WE WERE HERE 🤘
His right arm/elbow was feeding the air into a bag!
For everyone who is interested in the making of the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful, there are 20 short episodes on the TH-cam page of Nightwish how the album was made from start till finnish. Scroll a bit down to 6 years ago and you will find them. Lot’s of interresting info and very enjoyable to watch. Greetings from the Netherlands🤟👋
And the original drummer Jukka, is mentioned in the credits. He had to quit for health reasons, he chose Kai to replace him, but he still works for nightwish behind the scenes. And Jukka, being so damn famous and good, is still endorsed by his drum maker.
The Greatest Show on Earth [drops mic]. Good job Tom, great reaction.
The best show with the best Band on Earth 🤘👍
I was here! :D Great reaction to watch!
Great reaction folks, glad to see how much you enjoyed and appreciated this epic.
Very observant and insightful contribution from Sarah, just a pity that we couldn't really see her facial reactions because of the hat and the placement of the video 😔
we were there, and I still I've watched this on bluray maybe 20 times.
I really need to watch this reaction again 😄 so glad to see people who understand 🤘
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
