Nice work man. I like that you’re digging into the lyrics a bit and analyzing them. Much better than some reactors who just watch the song and then go “wow that was good. Ok like and subscribe!” If you follow the standard path, you’ll probably do Everdream next, or maybe I Want My Tears Back. Can’t go wrong with either. Although if you wanna mix it up a bit, dive into their performance at Wembley. 7 Days to the Wolves or Shudder Before the Beautiful are awesome.
Totally agree! I love when people try to undestand the song's meaning. FOr Nightwish it is crucial! Especially when you get to "The Greatest Show in Earth". If you don't digg into the meaning of the lyrics and the message, you are loosing so much!! :)
Haha, some "Windmill" energy! 😎👍 The singing bassist name is Marko Hietala, a living metal legend. I've seen him live and had some nice chat. He retired from Nightwish and all public life in 2021.
Great reaction! The male vocalist here is Marko. If you haven't already done so, try Song Of Myself and Ghost River from this same Wacken 2013 concert. Also Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018 next for more Floor/Marko magic.
Romanticide is just such a badass word. Marco Hietala is the singing bassplayer btw. He's sadly no longer with the band. His voice blends so well with Floor's, it was a big part of what made this work. I mean, I love Troy, but I don't think he can deliver this like Marco.
What makes Nightwish in its entirety SO BADASS, so unmatched, is that every musician is so extraordinary, amazing, in their craft and then the sum is even greater than the parts! I second the wish 🙏 that Marko comes back to Nightwish!
Macro as Bass player could be replaced by the new Bass play Jukka (not the original drummer). But as a singer who blended so well with Floor and could be lead singer or narrator singer will be missed from the Nightwish sound. Troy does a good or even a great job as background singer today but the sound is definitely different now vocally.
I agree 100%. I saw them live in Amsterdam last November and they were brilliant, but Troy cannot match Marko’s vocals. They also did Phantom of the Opera with Henk and that was kind of a disappointment. He tried too hard to sound like Marko’s growls and gravelly voice and ended up sounding kinda weird. He may even have added some sort of effect on his voice. No one does the Phantom like Marko!
This song is Like a Coffee with Red Bull .... On Steroids 🤘❤🔥🤘. The “scream” at the end is called a glissando, going from low to high and back, for classically trained singers this is an exercise to warm up the vocal cords, so Floor will do this probably every day before breakfast ! And the second singer is Marko (Bass Player), and on purple guitar is Emppu. Well here are the members in this song: You know Floor "The Unstoppable" Valkyrie Goddess Jansen ! Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. Marko Hietala "The Viking" is a Finnish heavy metal vocalist, bassist and songwriter (sadly not part of the band now). Internationally, best known as the former bassist, male vocalist and secondary composer to Tuomas Holopainen, of the symphonic metal band Nightwish. He was also the vocalist and bassist as well as composer and lyricist for the heavy metal band Tarot. He was also a member of the supergroup Northern Kings, and portrayed one of the main characters in Ayreon's 2013 album The Theory of Everything. Emppu Vuorinen the Electric Hobbit and trickster (Finnish guitarist, most famous for being a founding member of Nightwish and occasional songwriter). Vuorinen is primarily a rhythm player, often supporting the keyboard or orchestral parts of Nightwish songs. However, he plays lead melodies and solos as well. Vuorinen's solo techniques usually include alternate picking, tapping, sliding, legato, and minor to extreme whammy bar use; he also employs sweep picking, although very rarely. His solos are more melodic than those of most metal bands, but he sometimes shreds (notably in "Nightquest," "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion," "Romanticide," and "Gethsemane" by Nightwish, and also in "Traitor" by Tarot, for which he provided a solo). Nightwish's first three albums feature a larger amount of lead guitar work from Vuorinen than their later albums. Vuorinen is also a creative force in Nightwish, having co-written songs with Tuomas Holopainen from Oceanborn until Dark Passion Play. The song Whoever Brings The Night on Dark Passion Play is written by Vuorinen alone. Jukka "The Pirate" Nevalainen is the former drummer in the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish (left for health reasons, but is still a member behinde the scenes). He Is famous among Nightwish fans for wearing a bandana on his head, even during shows, his energetic drumming style, and for his spinning of his drumsticks. Joined Nightwish at the age of 17. And there is one more Member/Secret weapon.... To be continued.... NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Loved what you said about Floor at the beginning. I've often called her the baddest woman on the planet, but she uses her bad-assery for good, as she is very kind and humble. The total package. Of course, the entire band are amazing, and every member gets a chance to shine here. It's so good, you'd think this would be a staple of their setlist, at least while Marko was a member, but that is not the case at all. So we're lucky to have this special performance captured.
I am so glad that you are enjoying your Nightwish journey so. I loved your reaction and analysis and look forward to more. You have just been introduced to Marko Hietala (the blond bassist who you commented on) the second of the three Nightwish vocalists at that time. Marko is an accomplished lead singer in his own right. He has fronted the band Tarot, participated in the supergroup Northern Kings, won the Finnish version of The Masked Singer and has his own solo album out in 2020 Pyre of the Black Heart. He is often called the Father of Metal in Finland. You will find him singing lead in several of the Nightwish songs, as your journey continues.
This is heavy nightwish, Marko the bass player and singer and Floor are a match made in heaven. This band will never cease to surprise you. Try I want my tears back live at Buenos Aires if you want something the complete opposite, you get to meet the sixth band member Troy a multi instrumentalist who specialises in the Uilleann pipes a form of Irish bagpipe, you might think that wouldn't go but it really does, this song also features Floor and Marko singing together again. You mentioned her stature and stage presence well in this one she has the audience eating out of her hand, all dancing Floors all over the place it's completely different but in a great way. Thank you for continuing to explore this fantastic band and the great reaction 🇬🇧
I believe Floor appears so physically dominant because most women her height and above are slender. Floor is not slender. She has shoulders. She is...solid. Yet completely feminine.
Heya Nick, the members at this stage are Tuomas Holopainen : Keyboards, Main Song Writing, Emppu Vuorinen : Lead Guitar, Marko Hietala: Bass Guitar, Occasional Lead Singer, Co-Lead Singer, Jukka Nevalainen : Drums, and yeah he is awesome, Troy Donockley : Multi instruments in Uilleann pipes, Flutes, Bouzouki, Backing Vocals (He only appears on some songs) and of course Floor Jansen At this stage, Troy and Floor are not regular band members, Floor had only replaced former Lead Singer Anette Olzon during the 2nd US leg of the Imaginarium World Tour on October 1, 2012, Floor had to learn the Setlist in 48 hours while flying from Holland to Seattle. This concert was on 3rd of August 2013. As for whats next, you might want to also check out the original singer Tarja Turunen who is a more Operatic Singer, Floor is more a Classically Trained Singer, I recommend th-cam.com/video/ww2f4PPprSc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nightwish You will eventually want to watch The Greatest Show on Earth and the Poet and the Pendulum but wait on those From Floor, try "I want my tears back" th-cam.com/video/kG-ahEP3EF0/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nightwish Hartwell 2012 Last Ride of the Day th-cam.com/video/kAFxLXqP8UM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nightwish Masters of Rock in Prague 2015 and Endless Forms Most Beautiful th-cam.com/video/7oQ8sNSYXmQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nightwish Wembley (They are the only Finnish Band to ever headline here). Also all live videos after the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2013 feature Kai Hahto on Drums, Jukka has had to retire because of illness and he close friend Kai took over, both very different styles, but both are simply awesome
Armée NIGHTWISH de France ici, excellente réaction, merci et bravo, grand remerciement pour mon groupe préféré, encore s'il vous plait. A bientôt et portez vous bien........
I suggest "Song of Myself" from the same concert, but if you'd like to continue with other shows from the band I recommend "The Poet and the Pendulum" and "The Greatest Show on Earth", which are long epic songs. "The Phantom of the Opera" is one of their most popular performances, specially the one with their first singer, Tarja Turunen.
Oh buddy, I knew you'd dig this one. If you're listening to these while running, expect to do your path in about half the time. hah. Marko Hietala is the person you're thinking of. He's the bass player, and a perfect companion to Floor's voice. I think the next one should be "I want my tears back (Live In Buenos Aires)" th-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/w-d-xo.html Up until now it's all been from the Wacken show. Time to diversify. =)
Marko is amazing vocalist and bassist. He formed a band called TAROT w/ his brother in 1982. Featuring in many many projects, played in Sinergy 2000/2002, is one of the four amazing singers in Northern Kings.... also released his first solo album in 2019, "Mustan Sydämen Rovio" (Pyre Of The Black Heart"). Check out "The Voice Of My Father" song. He left Nightwish for personal reasons, depression and anxiety and also he was tired of the greedy, back stabbing music industry.
That was one of the best moments in one of the best concerts of the last 20 years. Never gets old. But when ready to try another Nightwish concert, try Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018. That one also has some more badass back and forth with Marko and Floor. 🔥🤘🔥
I agree, Floor is really badass... when on stage. Otherwise she is humble, kind, down-to-earth and just the sweetest "girl-next-door". Way back when she was still singing with After Forever they would always join the fans in the venue after the concert, to just chit-chat and engage. Not a grain of arrogance or "diva" behavior.
Nightwish Army wisconsin chapter here again Nick , I am very happy you chose to keep going with Nightwish and we are enjoying your reactions . I said Jukka the drummer was gonna be awesome on this song and I hope you agree .. hes like Animal from the muppets .. power drummer and so animated and puts his whole body into his playing . Floor and Marko are sick when they did that scream , eh ? Great reaction Bro and cool with your own interpretation of the lyrics .. keep it up please . EverDream would be a great next one but its up to you ,and again ,it only gets better ....btw , Emppu is my all time fav guitarist and ive seen many of the greats the past 40 years live . Thier Tribute to pink floyds " High Hopes" is epic , you may want to see it with Marko on lead vocals and Emppu with an amazing solo thats right up there with david gilmore of pink floyd . Cheers until later and be well .
Thank you for trying to analyze the meaning of the Nightwish songs. Almost no reactors are doing it. they just talk about Floor… your channel makes me learn more about the songs. 👍🤘
Every song is different, and many are either a journey in itself, or simply an experience. Tuomas draws inspiration from so many parts of life and styles of music. It truly is always surprising to see which way he might go. 😊 It's such a fun journey. This one is just pure metal fun and adrenalin.
For a decade ive been thinking of an adjective to describe Floor and I think the closet ive come is *"Regal".* She is Elegant, powerful, imposing, she has an enormous presence, exudes authority and confidence, shes all around larger than life. Even her posture it the one of a Queens dignity. There is no mystery why she is "the Valkyrie Queen". It wasnt given to her, She eanred that title.
The bass players name is Marko. He‘s also a brilliant singer, who has won The maked singer in Finnland. If you want to hear full Marko, please react to Nightwishs Version of „High Hopes“, originally from Pink Floyd. You will be blown away! Greetings from Germany 🤘🔥♥️
i agree i love how u dig into the lyrics a bit cuz they are quite fantastic and meaningful. Noise is a song that i really love. lyrically. check out the music video.
This song is often thought of as Part 2 of "Slaying the Dreamer" and even in some ways is written similarly. Tuomas wrote both songs and essentially directed them toward the music industry as a whole and they speak about his incredible disenchantment with the shitstorm that has to take place just to get his material out to the fans who truly love his music. In the end it's all for profit on the record companies part while his motive are far more altruistic and he sees the discrepancy and hates the fact that he has to play their sickening and dishonest game at all. I would recommend you listen to Slaying the Dreamer for a bit more context to this song, it's also an amazing piece of music but is even more specifically directed toward the music industry and he has said so in interviews.
🤩👍💥💯🎼 "Romanticide" is usually served as like a freight train from where you won't want to hop off at the next possible stop 🛑 Cool reaction män and keep on rockin with this magical band! Cheers from Finland. 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Same here Nick. I stumbled into NW in 2020 and had a tattoo of there's done within 3 months. (someone told me that was the requirement of joining the NW Army!- lol)
Fun fact: Lucy Lawless is also a singer, she studied I think one year of opera but decided to not go this way. It would be interesting to see her doing a duett with Floor. Floor would overtower her😁
🎶 Nightwish Live at Wacken Open Air 2013 🎶 Correct speed - FullHD - Remastered 🎶( th-cam.com/video/mzcy3a9q8_0/w-d-xo.html ) Setlist: 1. Dark Chest of Wonders, 2. Wish I Had an Angel, 3. She is My Sin, 4. Ghost River, 5. Ever Dream, 6. Storytime, 7. I Want My Tears Back, 8. Nemo, 9. Last of the Wilds, 10. Bless the Child, 11. Romanticide, 12. Amaranth, 13. Ghost Love Score, 14. Song of Myself, 15. Last Ride of the Day 🎶🎶🎶 Epic concert! 🎶🎶🎶
Brilliant reaction, Nick. Love how the song justified your intro about Floor being badass 😁 🤘😎🤘 How about something more modern and written for Floor's talents? Like the Lyric video of Shoemaker about Eugene Shoemaker, founder of planetary science, and how his ashes were sent to the moon. Or Noise. The official vid to that is a cracker. Or something like How's the Heart, a little less metal. Especially if, after you do an original version, you watch the accoustic with Just Floor and the band's multi instrumentalist, Troy Donockley, whom you probs haven't met yet.
You can't go wrong with any song from Wacken 2013, the Platinum standard... always do Wacken first. Yes, I see Song of Myself suggested...Ever Dream... even the finale Last Ride of the Day. Floor is the best singer on the planet. Toumos has said if she ever leaves Nightwish is finished. that alone tells you everything you need to know about any debate of prior singers. you should know the band is taking a hiatus after one more show in Europe this month. It is for the long term health of the band. We are hoping for and I am predicting a 2025 reunion WITH Marco rejoining as two more years should be plenty of time for him to help with his mental demons. He is irreplaceable for what he brought to the performances. Continue your journey.
Thank u again for introducing me to another band and genre that I’d never find on my own. It is my quest to find all your reactions. I enjoy them because they are genuine and more intelligent. But I am having trouble finding your reaction to Storytime, any advice?
If you really want to delve deep, please do your research before reacting to The Poet and the Pendulum. There is a lot of depth there. Also, Master Passion Greed, although there is no live version of that track. Both of these were during a transitional period for the band and there is a LOT of meaning to them. Research first!! Then, react. Love to see those.
@nickforellreacts not from the 80s but heavily influenced. All female badasses. J-metal and they sing in English. Lovebites, song is Holy War live 2020 th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html. Will ease you into them. Strap in. 😃🤘
Floor is a great singer, but some songs that were written for Tarja (1st vocalist) just sounds better with... well, Tarja's voice. This one is Tarja's song for me, despite all wonderful things that Floor presented here. Ghost love score was taken over by Floor, no argue there, by not Romanticide.
If reactors would have the patience to start the video just 20 seconds before the actual song starts, they would hear Marco explain exactly what Romanticide is. But they do not and neither did you. It's a shame.
Nice work man. I like that you’re digging into the lyrics a bit and analyzing them. Much better than some reactors who just watch the song and then go “wow that was good. Ok like and subscribe!”
If you follow the standard path, you’ll probably do Everdream next, or maybe I Want My Tears Back. Can’t go wrong with either. Although if you wanna mix it up a bit, dive into their performance at Wembley. 7 Days to the Wolves or Shudder Before the Beautiful are awesome.
Thank you Jonathan. That means a lot to me! Definitely will follow your advice
Totally agree! I love when people try to undestand the song's meaning. FOr Nightwish it is crucial! Especially when you get to "The Greatest Show in Earth". If you don't digg into the meaning of the lyrics and the message, you are loosing so much!! :)
Emppu is the guitarist who played the solo...Marko is the bassist who shared vocals with Floor.
Another awesome song and performance epic !!!!!!
Haha, some "Windmill" energy! 😎👍
The singing bassist name is Marko Hietala, a living metal legend. I've seen him live and had some nice chat. He retired from Nightwish and all public life in 2021.
This starts out like a run away freight train and Jukka is hitting those drums like they owe him money. And then there’s Floor and Marco.
Great reaction! The male vocalist here is Marko. If you haven't already done so, try Song Of Myself and Ghost River from this same Wacken 2013 concert. Also Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018 next for more Floor/Marko magic.
One of my favourite Nightwish songs: I like the guitar, including the solo, and that epic vocal at the end.
Romanticide is just such a badass word. Marco Hietala is the singing bassplayer btw. He's sadly no longer with the band. His voice blends so well with Floor's, it was a big part of what made this work. I mean, I love Troy, but I don't think he can deliver this like Marco.

Great stuff and reaction! When Floor slides up through her range and back down, I am awestruck.
You and me both!
Same consert Wacken 2013 - "Song Of Myself". Epic Epic performance...
Yes yes ,a diffrent floor haha ,every song is different😊
Should we tell him about "Yours Is An Empty Hope"😄
Hahaha maybe a bit later😅😊
I concur
And all the best and all my power sending to the GODDESS.
Oh yes 🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
I am so glad that you are enjoying your Nightwish journey so. I loved your reaction and analysis and look forward to more. You have just been introduced to Marko Hietala (the blond bassist who you commented on) the second of the three Nightwish vocalists at that time.

Hi from Sweden 🇸🇪 Nightwish forever in my ❤Saw them a few weeks ago 🙌Amazing live ❤
So good!
This is heavy nightwish, Marko the bass player and singer and Floor are a match made in heaven. This band will never cease to surprise you. Try I want my tears back live at Buenos Aires if you want something the complete opposite, you get to meet the sixth band member Troy a multi instrumentalist who specialises in the Uilleann pipes a form of Irish bagpipe, you might think that wouldn't go but it really does, this song also features Floor and Marko singing together again.

Thank you for continuing to explore this fantastic band and the great reaction 🇬🇧
Joining you on the journey. Absolutely no bad songs from this band. Marko is as wonderfully metal as it gets.
I believe Floor appears so physically dominant because most women her height and above are slender. Floor is not slender. She has shoulders. She is...solid. Yet completely feminine.
She works out and it shows. ❤
Heya Nick, the members at this stage are Tuomas Holopainen : Keyboards, Main Song Writing, Emppu Vuorinen : Lead Guitar, Marko Hietala: Bass Guitar, Occasional Lead Singer, Co-Lead Singer, Jukka Nevalainen : Drums, and yeah he is awesome, Troy Donockley : Multi instruments in Uilleann pipes, Flutes, Bouzouki, Backing Vocals (He only appears on some songs) and of course Floor Jansen
At this stage, Troy and Floor are not regular band members, Floor had only replaced former Lead Singer Anette Olzon during the 2nd US leg of the Imaginarium World Tour on October 1, 2012, Floor had to learn the Setlist in 48 hours while flying from Holland to Seattle. This concert was on 3rd of August 2013.
As for whats next, you might want to also check out the original singer Tarja Turunen who is a more Operatic Singer, Floor is more a Classically Trained Singer, I recommend th-cam.com/video/ww2f4PPprSc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nightwish
You will eventually want to watch The Greatest Show on Earth and the Poet and the Pendulum but wait on those
From Floor, try "I want my tears back" th-cam.com/video/kG-ahEP3EF0/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nightwish Hartwell 2012 Last Ride of the Day th-cam.com/video/kAFxLXqP8UM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nightwish Masters of Rock in Prague 2015 and Endless Forms Most Beautiful th-cam.com/video/7oQ8sNSYXmQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nightwish Wembley (They are the only Finnish Band to ever headline here).

Armée NIGHTWISH de France ici, excellente réaction, merci et bravo, grand remerciement pour mon groupe préféré, encore s'il vous plait. A bientôt et portez vous bien........
When Tuomas had Tarja
He had a Stradivarius
When Tuomas had Anette
He had a Steinway
Tuomas now has Floor
He now has the whole freaking Orchestra!
Great song, I love how Floors vocal step up higher each line after her Marko sings. Like she is singing up a ladder
Ohh and Marko can sing it all check out High Hopes by Nightwish the tribute to Pink Floyd😊
Oh my yea I need to see that!
"she can kill you with het voice" and i was like "wait for the Banshee wail"
I suggest "Song of Myself" from the same concert, but if you'd like to continue with other shows from the band I recommend "The Poet and the Pendulum" and "The Greatest Show on Earth", which are long epic songs. "The Phantom of the Opera" is one of their most popular performances, specially the one with their first singer, Tarja Turunen.
I concur - Song of Myself - Wacken 2013
So much more to come and learn. I envy you. Enjoy!
You have very descriptive way of reacting/interpreting on videos you watch. I personally really like that that. Greetings from Finland!
I appreciate that!
Best line from this song (and so typical Tuomas): "Till love do me part"
Oh buddy, I knew you'd dig this one. If you're listening to these while running, expect to do your path in about half the time. hah.
Marko Hietala is the person you're thinking of. He's the bass player, and a perfect companion to Floor's voice.
I think the next one should be "I want my tears back (Live In Buenos Aires)" th-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/w-d-xo.html
Up until now it's all been from the Wacken show. Time to diversify. =)
Marko is amazing vocalist and bassist. He formed a band called TAROT w/ his brother in 1982. Featuring in many many projects, played in Sinergy 2000/2002, is one of the four amazing singers in Northern Kings.... also released his first solo album in 2019, "Mustan Sydämen Rovio" (Pyre Of The Black Heart"). Check out "The Voice Of My Father" song.
He left Nightwish for personal reasons, depression and anxiety and also he was tired of the greedy, back stabbing music industry.
Keep on going, Nick🤘
Doing a great job 🤘
Thanks a ton!
That was one of the best moments in one of the best concerts of the last 20 years. Never gets old. But when ready to try another Nightwish concert, try Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018. That one also has some more badass back and forth with Marko and Floor. 🔥🤘🔥
Couldn't agree more!
I agree, Floor is really badass... when on stage. Otherwise she is humble, kind, down-to-earth and just the sweetest "girl-next-door". Way back when she was still singing with After Forever they would always join the fans in the venue after the concert, to just chit-chat and engage. Not a grain of arrogance or "diva" behavior.
Marko is a best on bass, and vocals. Thank u again for the awesome reaction and analyzis. Next, please 😉
Coming soon! Thank you Asa!

Thier Tribute to pink floyds " High Hopes" is epic , you may want to see it with Marko on lead vocals and Emppu with an amazing solo thats right up there with david gilmore of pink floyd . Cheers until later and be well .
Thank you for trying to analyze the meaning of the Nightwish songs. Almost no reactors are doing it. they just talk about Floor… your channel makes me learn more about the songs. 👍🤘
I'm voting for doing Ever Dream next for more of Marko (and also a good song)!
Hi Nick, Thanks for this great reaction 👍.
Many greetings from Germany ☺️👋👋👋
My pleasure!!
I have a playlist of Nightwish songs that Marko sings on and it’s my workout music three times a week!
Bravo Nick, good job! Thank you! 🤘
Thanks a lot!
Every song is different, and many are either a journey in itself, or simply an experience. Tuomas draws inspiration from so many parts of life and styles of music. It truly is always surprising to see which way he might go. 😊
It's such a fun journey.
This one is just pure metal fun and adrenalin.
For a decade ive been thinking of an adjective to describe Floor and I think the closet ive come is *"Regal".*
She is Elegant, powerful, imposing, she has an enormous presence, exudes authority and confidence, shes all around larger than life.
Even her posture it the one of a Queens dignity.
There is no mystery why she is "the Valkyrie Queen".
It wasnt given to her, She eanred that title.
Nice reaction🤘saw them live last saturday😊❤️
So cool!
The bass players name is Marko. He‘s also a brilliant singer, who has won The maked singer in Finnland. If you want to hear full Marko, please react to Nightwishs Version of „High Hopes“, originally from Pink Floyd. You will be blown away! Greetings from Germany 🤘🔥♥️
So glad to meet another Floor fanatic!! Welcome!
Yay, thank you!
i agree i love how u dig into the lyrics a bit cuz they are quite fantastic and meaningful. Noise is a song that i really love. lyrically. check out the music video.
Definitely „Song of Myself“ next.. 😅❤🎉
Hello again, Nick. Nightwish Army Phoenix subscriber back here for you. Another terrific reaction to this heavier Nightwish song. Loved it.
Thank you Rick, I appreciate that!
Love the reaction, and now we have Homer and Tolkien references amongst others 👍. I am going to enjoy watching your journey, best wishes from Scotland
Awesome! Thank you Perry. Only the greatest things in life
This song is often thought of as Part 2 of "Slaying the Dreamer" and even in some ways is written similarly. Tuomas wrote both songs and essentially directed them toward the music industry as a whole and they speak about his incredible disenchantment with the shitstorm that has to take place just to get his material out to the fans who truly love his music. In the end it's all for profit on the record companies part while his motive are far more altruistic and he sees the discrepancy and hates the fact that he has to play their sickening and dishonest game at all.
I would recommend you listen to Slaying the Dreamer for a bit more context to this song, it's also an amazing piece of music but is even more specifically directed toward the music industry and he has said so in interviews.
The drummer, Jukka, pronounced You-ka is amazing! Sadly he’s no longer with the band but the new drummer Kai is also a force to be reckoned with!
He is still a part of the band just not on drums He works behind the scenes in management
🤩👍💥💯🎼
"Romanticide" is usually served as like a freight train from where you won't want to hop off at the next possible stop 🛑
Cool reaction män and keep on rockin with this magical band!
Cheers from Finland.
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
So true! Thanks 🙏
That's another one for the workout playlist!! 🇬🇧🤘🤘
Same here Nick. I stumbled into NW in 2020 and had a tattoo of there's done within 3 months. (someone told me that was the requirement of joining the NW Army!- lol)
Very nice solo of Emppu ! 😀
For me, Floor is as badass as an hero like Xena... but she's singing instead of killing people 😁
Fun fact: Lucy Lawless is also a singer, she studied I think one year of opera but decided to not go this way. It would be interesting to see her doing a duett with Floor. Floor would overtower her😁
@@klauskriegbaum2795 Ah yes, I have already seen her singing with Renee O'Connor.
@@klauskriegbaum2795 Floor is a little over 6'. Lawless is 5'10". No overtowering.
Haha, wellllll said!

Love how the song justified your intro about Floor being badass 😁
🤘😎🤘
How about something more modern and written for Floor's talents?
Like the Lyric video of Shoemaker about Eugene Shoemaker, founder of planetary science, and how his ashes were sent to the moon.
Or Noise. The official vid to that is a cracker.
Or something like How's the Heart, a little less metal. Especially if, after you do an original version, you watch the accoustic with Just Floor and the band's multi instrumentalist, Troy Donockley, whom you probs haven't met yet.
Bine ai venit în familia Nightwish!😇🤘🤘🤘
Thanks
No problem!
If you like Marco voice you have to see Ghost River also from Wacken 2013
base and vocals is Marco, guitarist Emppu
Marco! Okay now I know
You should absolutely listen to Marko and Floor in Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean. It’s my favorite of their duets.
♥
Nice reaction and fantastic medical analogies.
Keep up the NW journey!
You can't go wrong with any song from Wacken 2013, the Platinum standard... always do Wacken first. Yes, I see Song of Myself suggested...Ever Dream... even the finale Last Ride of the Day. Floor is the best singer on the planet. Toumos has said if she ever leaves Nightwish is finished. that alone tells you everything you need to know about any debate of prior singers. you should know the band is taking a hiatus after one more show in Europe this month. It is for the long term health of the band. We are hoping for and I am predicting a 2025 reunion WITH Marco rejoining as two more years should be plenty of time for him to help with his mental demons. He is irreplaceable for what he brought to the performances. Continue your journey.
Marko and Floor amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank u again for introducing me to another band and genre that I’d never find on my own. It is my quest to find all your reactions. I enjoy them because they are genuine and more intelligent.
But I am having trouble finding your reaction to Storytime, any advice?
Oh well thank you so much! I haven’t done that reaction yet :)
YOUR NEXT SONG CAN BE ANYTHING WITH FLOOR AND MARKO. YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG.
🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done man
🤙
Please react to High hopes by Nightwish (Pink Floyd cover) 🙏
Good one.
Thank you! Cheers!
Chapter Austria is with w🤟❤️🤟
🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻
Great again. Next song? Storytime (Wacken 2013) - you will like it… ‼️🏆
same concert --> Ghost River and Dream of Me … masterpieces
Floor is the everest of high notes 😅
marco bassist and singer empuu lead guitar try nightwish high hopes live for more marco
yeah, more Marco
Lol I'm 6'1 so I love a tall woman!
Its basically the epitome of a car crash relationship
Ever Dream
Next, LAST RIDE OF THE DAY
MY WALDEN
THE POET AND THE PENDULUM
THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH
Cheers!
😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘
If you really want to delve deep, please do your research before reacting to The Poet and the Pendulum. There is a lot of depth there. Also, Master Passion Greed, although there is no live version of that track. Both of these were during a transitional period for the band and there is a LOT of meaning to them. Research first!! Then, react. Love to see those.
You still lack songs like ever dream, the poet and the pendulom, desde boys poem, Nemo, amarath, song of me
Are you an 80s metal fan?
Need some suggestions!
@nickforellreacts not from the 80s but heavily influenced. All female badasses. J-metal and they sing in English. Lovebites, song is Holy War live 2020 th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html. Will ease you into them. Strap in. 😃🤘
marco hietala
epica is great too live is best and yes simone has a couple songs with floor
Ohh I’ll check them out!
Floor is a great singer, but some songs that were written for Tarja (1st vocalist) just sounds better with... well, Tarja's voice.
This one is Tarja's song for me, despite all wonderful things that Floor presented here.
Ghost love score was taken over by Floor, no argue there, by not Romanticide.
Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess, as Tuomas is the Metal Mozart.....
If reactors would have the patience to start the video just 20 seconds before the actual song starts, they would hear Marco explain exactly what Romanticide is. But they do not and neither did you. It's a shame.
Imagine being so upset at a video that’s free for you to watch
I think you will love Dead boys poem❤
nightwish army Cali. subscribing, so i can enjoy your journey
🇬🇧 Norfolk strapped in for your journey 😊
Delayed liking as it was on 666 😂
