    Hello Views From The 502 ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
    Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air festival 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience.
    Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, 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.
    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.
    As I saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. Hope you'll continue on this path.
    Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the 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. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .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 (powerful 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 (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

    Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
    The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. I have nothing against previous singers, but I do not consider myself the most suitable person to give specific recommendations from their repertoires.
    ** I think it's your place, fans of previous Nightwish eras, to present to the reactors the best recommendations with Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon, because you know and appreciate them directly. I encourage you to add the best recommendations in the comments. **
    That being said, I will add here the message left the other days by an old fan of the band, @Fabrizio Gorla: " To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs. Just be fair and don’t make a comparison if you don’t want an open war in your comment section.

    For entire episodes of the show with En subtitles, you should check Denise Hofs's DM channel: dailymotion_dot_com/xpinkeu/videos
    In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 6 covers there, the first is "Let It Go" from "Frozen" (20 weeks ago, already over 2.282M views), the second - "Alone" from "Heart" , released 18 weeks ago - 1.097M and counting. Then 16 weeks ago she dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 270K views. Just before Christmas she made a powerful cover of "Ave Maria" - already 289K views. 13 weeks ago she added a remastered / remixed version of the first one, "Let It Go" - already 191K. 11 weeks ago she added to the list a powerful cover of "Adagio" by Lara Fabian (!!!) - 400K views now. Then, just 6 weeks ago she gave us the last one so far: "Oblivion" by M83 - 428K views in 6 weeks..
    Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe

    Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, agility, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a soprano with a range of more than three octaves (D3 to F6). It is apparent when listening to her sing 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 vocal coach herself. It is incredible how she is able to take any song 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.

    Three more souls swept away by our Valkyrie goddess. Floor Jansen (pronounced Yan-sen) is the best female vocalist today. She can sing any style, any genre. That "hot" feeling you got is known as a "Floorgasm" and tends to happen when Floor hits those higher notes. I hope you react to more Nightwish to see what this band is all about. Each song is different and will surprise in one way or another. Subbed to join you on your journey. Enjoy the ride.

    One thing you have to realise is that at Wacken there are 75,000+ fans, and every single one is there first and foremost for the music. They're not there for the fashion, to be "seen", or for instagram likes. They are there for the music. It is hard to explain the feeling when you're in a crowd like that, united by their shared love of metal regardless of the style.

    Welcome to Nightwish !
    It's not every day you get to hear something completely out of your experience, that you like so much that you have to wonder why you've never heard it before. What you won't be wondering, is why the Nightwish fans are as rabidly passionate as we are. You've just gotten a small introduction - believe it or not, this band has much more to offer than you can imagine right now.
    The next few Nightwish videos you watch may be a little confusing at first. All of their songs are different from each other, and often drastically different. If you're expecting to figure out a "Nightwish sound", you will be pleasantly surprised, because it won't happen. The only things to expect are, you won't be able to predict anything you're about to hear, and whatever you hear will be exceptional. And while the songs are all different, they are all distinctly Nightwish. Eventually you'll just accept that they can play anything, and Floor's vocal talents have no limits.
    I know, it sounds like we're all just gushing over this band we love (but that can't possibly be as great as we think they are). Well, buckle in and hang on, because whatever we say, this band can and does exceed. You're in for a real treat.
    (MAKE AMERICA NIGHTWISH)

    @schout33 3 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    So, now you have heard our Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. She is considered the best and most versatile female singer of our time. To see how she developed her versatility, check out her former bands 'After Forever' and 'Revamp'. She joined After Forever at the age of 16 in 1997. My favourite song is 'Energize me'. Most live performances are sadly fancams, but from this song they made a very nice music video. They disbanded in 2009. After this Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different styles within one song, such as full operatic on to serious growls in seconds. The song 'Disdain' and 'Wild Card' are good examples. October 2012 Floor got the call from Nightwish to fill in during the American Tour. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (see the documentary with the same name). The songs of Nightwish are very poetic and challenging vocal wise, but she got it done and the fans welcomed her with open arms. She performed with 'Revamp' for a couple more years, but in time she could not combine the two anymore and she had to disband Revamp in 2016. She did a side project called 'Northward' and the song 'While Love Died' is a must see. Her mindblowing 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. Also on TH-cam there are numerous guest appearances with other bands to discover. As live concerts with Nightwish were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor uploaded many interesting videos in the last year such as stunning covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses and so much more. Her 'Fan Friday' videos are hilarious. Just go to her TH-cam channel and unpack some of the presents she left there. As Floor is a high sensitive person, peace and quiet is as important for her.

    Nightwish Army, New Zealand Division reporting. I like all genres of music, especially metal and classical, so... Nightwish is perfect for me! And this song is totally epic, one of my favourite Nightwish songs, along with: Gethsemane, Nemo, Story Time, Phantom of the Opera, Sleeping Sun, Dead Boy's Poem, Shoemaker, How's the Heart.

    Please, for your next Nightwish reaction: "Ever Dream" OFFICIAL LIVE Wacken 2013
    There are many great female vocalists in European symphonic metal bands, but I think Floor Jansen is the best, the most versatile, she can sing pretty much any kind vocals.
    Tuomas, the keyboardist, band founder (in 1996) and leader, is the main songwriter of Nightwish. Composition, lyrics, arrangement. He was, way back in time, as an exchange student in the US, and his host family took him to some concerts, Metallica for example, and he was impressed and hooked to heavy music.
    Nightwish is from Finland, but Floor is Dutch. She replaced the previous singer Anette Olzon from Sweden, (2007-2012), on a 48 hour notice in the midst of the Nightwish US tour late 2012!
    The original female vocalist was Tarja Turunen, (1996-2005).
    Enppu Vuorinen, guitar (a black belt judoka)
    Marko Hietala, bass/vocals
    Jukka Nevalainen, drums, replaced by his friend Kai Hahto in 2015, due to Jukka's insomnia.
    Troy Donockley, the multi-instrumentalist from the UK, he can play just about anything you put in his hands or on his lips. He became an official member in 2013, just like Floor, but had occasionally played with Nightwish for years, in studio and on stage.
    Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
    Very nice reaction by the way!

    The keyboardist/founder Tuomas Holopainen and Nightwish are from Finland. The Frontwoman Floor Jansen(Yansen)is from Holland. Holopainen has enlisted the services of the London Symphony Orchestra(Top Five in the World)with their adult and children's choirs. Almost all the background music on Ghost Love Score is from the LSO and its adult choir. The Storytime song(Disney/Peter Pan)has the LSO children's choir in the background throughout the song.
    Floor Jansen has a long history of vocal musicianship(she will be 41 years old this year). She took a year of opera training with several years of private lessons(she has been a vocal coach for quite a few years now)but switched to Symphonic Metal because of her opera training and her rock music background. She sings in eight languages and can speak almost that many. She joined her first band and founded her second band in her 20s. She speaks English almost as well as she speaks her native Dutch tongue.
    Floor became interested in bodybuilding in her youth and has many trophies in her "girlcave". She is a big woman at 6'1" 200lbs. Her husband, Hannes van Dahl, drummer for the Swedish Metal band Sabaton, is 6'7 250lbs +/-.
    Sean Nightingale's post on Floor is excellent. When Gabriel Bardac comes in you should pin his post. He is the master of all things Nightwish.

      Another Floor Fact. She and Nightwish had worked together before Wacken 2013. Floor suffered a breakdown of some sort and had disbanded her band. Nightwish's #2 singer Anette Olzon had fallen ill on tour and had to be hospitalized. Tuomas called Floor and asked her to stand in for Anette(learn the setlist in 48 hours please).
      So they played North and South America and flew back to headline the Wacken concert in 2013. Floor had never played Wacken before and almost none of the 82,000 attendees knew who she was. They found out real quick though lol. Watching Floor work the crowd, it was amazing how quickly she brought them over to her. Floor is a true Valkyrie Goddess of Symphonic Metal.

    I find Tarja is more operatic(she was the first singer there is story behind that but watch some of her songs). Anette was the second singer and I found her more pop like. Floor is the third and frankly the one I first listened to and fell in love with the band over. This was one of her first year performances and I find later works with her to be just out of this world. She can do it all and they use that.

    Nighwish has been played on mainstream radio here in Finland since around 1998. Some younger people do not listen to it because it's too mainstream for them. Pretty much all Nightwish songs have been written and composed by Tuomas Holopainen, the guy playing the keyboards. He's also composed all the orchestra parts which are actually playback from actual symphony orchestra recording from the album studio sessions. Tuomas cannot write notes for the orchestra so he plays the parts he wants using keyboard and Pip Williams converts those to the orchestra notes. The whole band plays to click track to sync with the orchestra recording.
    If blastbeat is not too fast for you, this would be a nice song to react to (also from Finland):

    You guys broke the levee. Welcome to Nightwish! You are about to embark on a musical experience like no other. I'm in my 50s, been a hard core metal fan, and still am, of epic bands such as Iron Maiden, Dio, Black Sabbath. But since discovering Nightwish last year, my entire outlook of musical art has been renewed. Floor I'm my mind is a living legend and I savor every second I hear her magical voice. You've only had a small taste of what she can do vocally. Her voice along with her stage presence and audience command can literally put you in a trance. You guys have only scratched the surface, but if you guys choose to go down the rabbit hole you will understand.

    hey 502, it's great to see people discovering this amazing band,hope you sincerely enjoyed it, NW is Symphonic Metal (also called Beautiful Metal )the Symphonic elements are from the London Philharmonic composed by the keyboardist Tuomas, be warned it's an addiction, :) this Wacken 2013 is perfection ,a seminal event where every song is GOLD & better than the originals ,82,000 in attendance for Nightwish, considering Floor Jansen (who is the 3rd,current and final vocalist) had only been 10months in singing with the band at this point,but few singers and I have seen many live are this great live,and yet this song GLS -( 3rd from the end of a 15 song set) is but a small taste of what this band and singer has to experience.GLS is most reacted to song on YT right now and possibly ever,some vocal coach reactors have over 2.5 Million views,so the fan base is massive,very passionate & active on YT.
    I suggest staying with this Wacken 2013 before moving on to the other outstanding concerts, yes NW is best Live, then there is Floor's continued vocal versatility on the Dutch tv show
    Beste Zangers 2019 on YT ,she sings Shallow,Phantom of The Opera,Vilja Lied & more ,then her
    recent YT covers of Alone-Heart,Adagio-Lara Fabian,AveMaria,Oblivion,etc.
    so much to discover ,so welcome aboard this NW journey,it's an exceptional ride. cheers
    ****from this concert : Bless The Child- epic, StoryTime ,Ghost River, EverDream,Song of Myself,Last Ride of The Day,Nemo,Amaranth, while GLS is the ultimate example of the symphonic metal ,these other songs are much heavier.

    The first singer had a very operatic voice and this was written for her, the second singer couldn't even pull off this song her voice was OK just more of a pop singer I guess. Then there is Floor who was classicly trained and can sing EVERYTHING she is by far THE best singer that most of us in the U.S. had never heard.

    Great reaction guys! 👍🤘
    Greetings from the UK!
    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 female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), the Valkyrie Queen of metal Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen).
    Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had, 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 -
    Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland)
    Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland)
    Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland)
    Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland)
    Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom)
    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.
    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, she is belting notes like that the entire set.
    Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible.
    Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Storytime, Romanticide, Ghost River, Ever Dream, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders, Nemo, Amaranth and I Wish I had an Angel 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 Nighwish army to arrive and enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘
    A chap called Gabriel will be along shortly I'm sure to fill you in with even more info.😉

  • @05smaugthegolden
    @05smaugthegolden 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Just to set this right - the soul and key to Nightwish is not the singer, it is and always has been Tuomas, the keyboardist and composer. I became a fan when Anett was the lead singer, and obviously she was the weakest of the three, but the songs were and still are so amazing, the composition is superb. But Floor has taken the performances to a whole new level, that's for sure.

    Although the band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist is not. She’s Dutch. Floor Jansen (pronounce Yahn-Sen) 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 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer.
    Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label.

    Greetings from The Netherlands.
    Floor Jansen performed on a Dutch show called "Beste Zangers 2019" (some think it means "the best singers", but actually it is more like writing to someone "Dear singers..."). She did a duet (Phantom of the Opera) with a well known (in the opera & musical scene) singer Henk Poort. After seeing all episodes of that show and being blown away over and over again by Floor, I wanted to explore Nightwish... got sucked into the rabbit hole and now stuck forever.
    So, if you want to experience more Floor Jansen, not only focus on Nightwish but include (as more people suggest) her performance on "Beste Zangers 2019" as well. And also check out her personal channel on TH-cam.
    Probably echoing what others already told you three in the comments below, but you asked how we got Nightwish on our radar... :)
    Liked your reaction by the way.

    You need to watch more Nightwish.
    Wacken 2013 (Any)
    Live at Tampere (Storytime, The Islander, well, any, really)
    Mexico City (Alpenglow)
    If you'd like to see if more singers are 'operatic', welllll… the answer is, some ARE. You might want to check out Epica (especially Sancta Terra, with Floor Jansen - two opera trained soprano goddesses rocking the stage, with a full orchestral backup on top of the metal band).

    @atviewsfromthe502, from this same epic concert Wacken 2013, Song of Myself, Ghost River, Romanticide, Dark Chest of Wonders (concert opener), Storytime, Everdream, Last Ride of the Day (concert closer), actually the whole concert is epic. Their catalogue is impressive and vast.You guys have no idea what Nightwish brings to the table. I grew up in the classic rock era( 60s, 70s 80s) and honestly when I discovered Nightwish with Floor Jansen they became my all time favorite band and Floor my all time favorite lead singer. They’re that good and unique. Their music and live performances are addictive.🤟🤟✌️✌️🇨🇦

    Marko the great bass player is also a singer. He sings in several Nightwish songs and he's just as good as Floor. You'll find out in your next Nightwish comments. ♥ next song "Dark chest of wonders", from Wacken 2013. Its the openings song of that concert and a real banger!!

    @The 502 This concert attendance was 4 times the capacity of Rupp Arena. Go Wildcats!
    The interlude in this song was a backing track recorded by the London Philharmonic.
    To the Nightwish army the '502' is the area code for Louisville, KY.

    Nightwish does collaborate with the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Children's Choir. The more you watch of Nightwish, the more you will hear of them in certain songs.
    I heard this song while listening to one of my favorite reactors on TH-cam. I saw he had listened to it and I figured it must be something new...so I listened. And I was blown away. This was March of 2020!
    My background... I am 63 years old....I have been listening to heavy metal/hard rock since I was 8 years old! Yeah, imagine my Southern Baptist parents, grand parents, aunts and uncles finding out an 8 year old was listening to Jimmy Hendrix, The Doors, Janis, Black Sabbath.... then Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, Boston, AC/DC, and on and on! My LP collection was substantial!
    As for Nightwish, you will find that you can listen to the same song over and over again, and you won't tire of it! I can listen to Ghost Love Score over and over the same night and not get tired of it! What bothers me is I had never heard of them until last year!
    As for other similar groups...I love Within Temptation!

    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.

    Floor Jansen's voice and vocal range are absolutely AMAZING. Not only was Floor Jansen Classically trained, but she's also been a voice teacher/vocal coach herself in the past.
    And on a side note, Floor Jansen actually CAN sing opera. The video I've seen of Floor Jansen singing Opera is Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro.

    This is just the tip of what they can do, shows some of their range but not indicative of their songs imo. You need to hear Romanticide, Storytime or Ghost River next.

    82000+ at this Wacken 2013 with Nightwish headlining the True Metal Stage. You have just met Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen), the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. Nightwish does use backing tracks when they make use of symphonic instruments and choirs. You have only seen a small sample of what this band does. Every song has new styles and twists to keep you guessing what is coming next. You need to hear some of their heavier stuff. Gabriel Bardac below can give you many suggestions for further reactions as well as some of the deeper history of Nightwish. I only heard Nightwish for the first time about 18 months ago. It was this same song and I have become obsessed with all things Nightwish and Floor Jansen. Floor is a unique and rare breed of singer. She has had operatic and Musical Theater training, as well as attended the Rock Academy in The Netherlands. There is no style or genre of music that she cannot sing with the very best in the world. What is your favorite style of music? Hope to see you 3 again very soon. Peace.

    502 Nightwish Army here saying hi from Hikes Point - glad you guys got to get introduced to this pretty amazing group of musicians. Her voice is absolutely mesmerizing and you'll get addicted to it soon enough. I suggest one of their heavier tunes to see the juxtaposition of styles that they can do. Romanticide or Storytime would be good next tracks. Keep up the good work and go Cats!

    The orchestral sounds are preformed by the *London Philharmonic Orchestra.*
    When it's their own concerts it's not uncommon for the Orchestra to be on location but when it's festivals it becomes a logistical impossibility.
    So on this occasion it's a recording, but it is not a computer-generated sound.

  • @F1rstWorldNomaD
    @F1rstWorldNomaD 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It's rather fitting that guy on the Keys, Tuomas Holopainen, should make it sound like a symphony...
    He is the original founder of the Band and he is the composer for all of it, he actually write the notes himself and give it to the orchestra, he is also coordinator and lyricis, the man is brilliant.
    A true genius in his field.
    He draws alot of inspiration from Hans Zimmer which is why the whole thing sounds like a movie score, it's also why the song is named a score.
    In Europe, he is nicknamed "The Mozart of Metal".
    If he is actually as brilliant as Mozart is a topic eagerly debated but regardless, it's easy to see why he got such a nickname.
    Interesting video, I love watching people check out Nightwish for the first time.
    It's *never* what anyone think it is and it always ends with "*"WOW...."* 🤣
    Sit tight fellows, The army will come shortly, I noticed Gabriel is already here so the others ain't far behind.
    Prepare for a comment storm.
    Welcome to Symphonic Metal ❤️😉
