#Nightwish #NightwishReaction #TheGreatestShowOnEarth
I've seen many many bands, including Iron Maiden x2 and Muse x2 and thought no-one could top them. Then in Nov 2022 in Birmingham UK I saw Nightwish and I was proved wrong they are awesome, I was mesmerised could not take my eyes off them.
This song is the rollercoaster ride of metal songs! Nothing compares... a great work of modern art.
The guitarist in the beginning was Troy, not Emppu.
Troy also sings and plays any instrument he wants, during the opening it was guitar and Uilleann pipes.
You are so right, it is a masterpiece!
WE WERE HERE❣️
The goosebumps have goosebumps 🌵🌵🌵
And those have goosebumps🤣
when you get to understand the genius of Tuomas, you cannot but listen to them. Dave south africa.
Hey Dave! 100% man!! 🤘🤘🤘🙏
That E-Bow sounds so good in Troy's talented hands. It's just like a cello in some parts.
Tampere!!! you do not know what you are missing. The guitar part was Troy not Empuu. And at the end ... your face ... priceless. The kind of face you make when you do not know what to do with your life anymore. That's what Nightwish does to me. On hte First Of August i am attending their concert. So hyped about it!
I'd rather see your reaction, joy and happiness then you talk and miss something important, cause so much is happening here! My fav part of the song is toolmaker, so when the human era beginns. It is depressing thought that the 1st part of the song was so peaceful and since the moment that humans era came, all the fire and distruction happens. the progression is so well shown though! I love i! And the moment with all those music easter eggs with Bach, Metallica and Enter Sandman etc. We were here moment is always emotional for me, and then Dawkins' words - so impactful... I can't tell you how many times I have watched their live performance of this song and i am always crying at the end. Especially in this version, where Prof. Dawkins is there in person, speaking tothe crowd, and seeing their faces and understanding of his words and the whole song...
I got to see them perform this when they toured in the US. The emotion on your face really brings me back to that night. Thank you!
Also don't forget to do The Islander live at Tampere. You will love it
It's on the list! I'm very excited for that one!
I've known Nightwish for at least twenty years and being an old thrash metal drummer since the 80's, many times I was never interested in listening to this wonderful band. A few days ago I decided it was time to hear something from the band, in my mind there was always that "operatic" voice of Tarja that bothered me. I had known Floor since the days of After Forever and his band didn't attract my attention either. I chose to listen to "Ghost Love Score" and since then I can't contain my emotion... I dove headfirst into the world of Nightwish and when I arrived at "The Greatest Show on Earth", my reaction was the same as yours, I was in disbelief, and when Richard Dawkins himself came on stage, I collapsed for good! Oh God, why did it take me so long...
Ahh man we are on the same page there. Can't believe I only discovered them recently. So glad I did though, they really are amazing!
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated!! 🤘🤘✌️🙏
Don't worry my friend you're not the only one who got tears in their eyes. It just shows you how Nightwish can affect people. I told you they'd send you to the other side of the universe
Floor is simply a goddess man. This woman trully has em all... charisma, attitude, confidence, beauty, brains and to top it all off one of the most amazing voices ever. A friend once said that she's the female Freddie Mercury and i kinda agree with her
Best ever
For yourself, you should also listen to this song at tampere in 2015, absolutely brilliant.
"We were here!"
Never fails to summon the onion ninjas.
That part had me hey! Wow! I would love to be in the crowd for that! 🤘🙏
@@marbenthesaffa
I think we all feel that way!
People who like metal are one, we are a universe
100% 🤘🤘🤘🤘✌️🙏
Tuomas Holopainen metal Mozart
Nightwish and Lovebites are my favorite bands. This song is one of the best compositions of all time. Tuomas in incredible! They are all so talented, i love them :) In a few days they will play here in Vienna (4.Dec. 22). Im waiting now more than 2 years for this moment!
over a thousand listens, same chills and tears ... from very deep within!! there a a version with the lyrics
20:03 - those timpani drums get me every time!!
I just adore ALL your NIghtwish (and Floor) reactions!!! This one you got me to smile and get watery eyes and want to hug you ALL at the same time wtf??? LOL 🥰🥰🥰
Ahhh thank you so muc! 🙏 That's so kind of you to say!
Haha I know exactly what you mean.. so many amazing emotions throughout this track! 😁😍❤️
I am glad you chose Wembly, I love Troy's e bow so much. and than all the fans getting emotional when Dawkins entered the stage. Well done
Thank you very much! 🤘 🙏🙏💪
@@marbenthesaffa still... Tampere is more epic for me 🤩. Take a look. You will meet the goddess there 😍. But Wembley is fantastic, too.
@@bobsuisse2 Tampere is more epic.... but Wembley sounds better, and has the EBow, and Richard Dawkins
This is my prefered version with Troy and the icing on the cake Richard Dawkins just kills a fireworks display every time for me. like said the emotion in the crowd at the end is intense. Both versions are top nanna but just look at the bands awe when Richard comes on.
Hope your doing the Tampere live version 🥺🥺🥺
It's the Wembley 2015 version🤦 Sorry
Tampere (home🇫🇮) is The Greatest Show On Earth, for sure👍....
@@marbenthesaffa Both versions are great. Just a little bit different. I actually like the sound better in this Wembley version. Rock on.
@@AndyMagnusson70 I will need to go check out the other version now! 🤘🤘💪
@@marinaa.6140 I need to go watch this version now! 🤘🤘🙏💪
You might get a few complaints about not going with the Tampere version but this version is amazing too so you do you. The 'we were here' ending never fails to give me fullbody goosebumps - great reaction. Sincerely hoping you have the likes of Seven Days to the wolves, The Last ride of the day and Shudder Before the Beautiful on your list!
Haha I have yes. I just watched that version and it's amazing! I do like both though but I see why🤦🤣
Thank you very much!
I do have those on the list yes, thank you🙏🙏🤘💪
Also Sahara live in Tampa Bay Floorida !!
I think they both have their merits. Greetings from New Zealand :)
@@SuperMoofie I agree! 🤘🤘
Both versions are excellent! I have no regrets 🤘
Between Wembley and Tampere there is no wrong choice. For me this has the slightly better sound and Tampere the significantly better visuals, but I think sound is more important, so they end up about even. The important thing, Marben, is to watch and listen to both! Twice the epicness! Peace.
I actually now that many have pointed it out gone and listened to the Tampere version and it's great! Much better visuals, better camera work etc but honestly I love them both! This song is just so unbelievably epic!! 🤘🤘🙏
Peace ✌️
Sounds even better in CD quality audio. HaHa😅
I very slightly enjoy Tampere a bit more. Only because this is the most Radiant that I have ever seen Floor before or since.
Well done, sir! You know, those of us who have been around a while (I am 73) have been fortunate to experience, live, some real masterpieces of musicianship (Rhapsody in Blue, the Star Wars Suite, Game of Thrones score, Handel's Messiah, Beethoven's 5th, etc) and this must be counted with that group, IMO. Thank you for the post. I'm sure that many will direct you to the Tampere, Finland version. It is equally as epic, with some pleasant additions. Please continue your journey. Subbing to your channel is a joy! Take care.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🙏
I watched the Tampere version and both are great in their own ways! 😁🤘🙏
We were all emotional too. That's fine!
Just enjoy the journey. We were here anyway.
The Guy in the intro with the Guitar (and the "electric bow", sounding like a cello) isn't Empuu, it's Troy!
Yeah I was told that earlier🤦
@@marbenthesaffa 😂😂 OMG Marben you can't get away with anything when the "Nightwish army" onboard lol.
@@robarnold4104 🤣🤣🤣
There is no greater feeling of unity when standing in the crowds of a NW concert & singing in unison “We Were Here!” You feel magically one with the NW Army, one with the band & somehow at that moment one with humanity, it’s overwhelming.
No sabía que estaba tan vivo hasta que escuché ésta canción. Nightwish no hace música, hace magia.
I love your reactions to their songs , Nightwish is epic indeed! Ever looked into Floors previous work/bands? I'm convinced you will really like that too! Can't wait till your next Nightwish song on this journey 🥰
Doesn't get more epic than this!
You can say that again! 😁🤘✌️
Marko and Floor singing together was magical.
Thought you'd love this one!
They are a match made in heaven man! So beautiful! This track is just incredible! 🙏💪🤘
@@marbenthesaffa It's my favorite of theirs.
@@milton1448 Every song I've heard has been my favorite.. until the next one🤣
And Troy !!!
@@marbenthesaffa I know that feeling.....I just went through it in 2020. Be well brother
I think I've never seen and enjoyed a reaction like yours. Actually yes: my own. It's amazing how we have the same emotion, in the same moments, in the same details. Spectacular reaction to this work of modern art.
Hi Gustavo! Ahhh thanks man, that means alot! NW bring out all the feels in us and it's amazing and such a pleasure!! 🤘🤘🙏🙏
This actually starts after the Big Bang. It starts with the formation of our solar system, 4.6 billion tears ago.
Can you even imagine getting together with your bandmates and telling them, "Hey everyone, I have an idea about writing a 20 minutes epic about the evolution of our solar system and all life on earth. 4.6 billion years of evolution! What? 🌏
Epic reaction bro. I felt the same with teary eyes the first time I watched this song.. Unbelievable talent!!
Thank you so much!! Yeah really unbelievable talent✌️✌️🤘🙏
It gives me goosebumps when all 3 of them are doing the caveman animal like grunts and growls it’s so freaking cool!👏
It really is. It's such a clever part in the song as well! They're amazing musicians all round🤘🤘💪
The song is divided into 5 segments. The first is labeled 4.6, as in 4.6 billion years, which is the age of the Earth and the solar system. The Big Bang was 14 billion years ago, so the the beginning of the song is more like the early bombardment of Earth by comets, meteors, asteroids ,etc.
Yes, that riff that you gave a double take to was Metallica's Enter Sandman. It was preceded by other pieces of music including one by J.S. Bach, and then followed by a piece of EDM. The Evolution of music.
Research isn't necessary to enjoy this song, but doing so makes the song more interesting. Nice Job. 🤘🤘
Thank you sir🙏🙏🙏🤘
It's an epic song to make about big bang and planet forming. Life in planet and in end man is dead and Enter Ratkind. So this world will end in my opinion too. For humans that is.
@Chris O. - I couldn't agree more. Spot on comment!
I felt the same emotion again that I felt the first time I saw it
This video and song was how TH-cam introduced me to Nightwish. After being completely blown away and in total awe of this performance, I have become a big Nightwish fan. Yes I did also watch the Tampere version as well, once I found out about it. They are playing a shortened version without as long an intro in their current concerts.
It's such a beautiful song! Every song from NW turn me into a bigger fan!
Ahh no they shortened it? Oh well.. im pretty sure it's still amazing! ✌️✌️🤘🙏
The Tempere Version is unreal
I putting that on right now🤣
why not real??
@@groefrau6324 Im meanning in a super mega good way...♡
Dead boys poem is another to do your homework on to truly enjoy it. Love your enthusiasm man!
Hey Jerry. Thank you very much man!! 🤘🤘🙏
Beautiful
Just to let you know those 6 notes Tuomas was rapidly playing stands for carbon since 6 stands for carbon on the periodic table. There is so much stuff that is in this song but that is one of the things that most people do not tell reactors about so just to let you know! And in the beginning of life all there was is carbon in space
Thanks for the information Jonathan. I really appreciate it! Even after reading up on the songs meaning etc I still learn more and more about it every day! Just shows what an amazing piece of writing and composition the song really is.
Thank you 🙏🙏🤘
Great reaction man 👍👍👍 nightwish is just owesome ❤️❤️❤️ new sub here, greetting from indonesia 🤟🤟🤟
Greetings! Thank you so much, much appreciated!! 🤘🤘🙏✌️
Thank YOU....Great reaction 👌👍💗
Kind regards from the Netherlands ❤
Thank you very much!! 🙏🙏✌️🤘
If Tuomas would have chosen some other genre to make music, like if he would've gone to Hollywood, he could make his name written next to John Williams, Ennio Morricone and such. We're so lucky to have a musician like him in the metal music genre. He's an incredible composer.
And I believe this is the first time you seen Troy. Well, you're gonna love him. :)
Once again it was a great reaction. Really enjoyed it.
Hey Ozy! I agree man, that's so true what you're saying there!
I believe it is the first time. I didn't know it was him at the beginning until I was told earlier! :)
Thanks man, as always, I appreciate the positive comments and support man, means alot!! 🙏🙏
well Rock genre, regardless of sub species
Looking forward to your PATP.
maybe one day we will see your reactions to Floors solo Projects 😉
Marben you also need to do this from Tampere with the fireworks and Troy playing a wind instrument instead of the Ebow......bit of a different sound at the beginning but fantastic
❤❤❤
Floor: Enter Luca
Marco: Enter Ionia
Emppu: Enter Sandman
Soooo sorry to see that you choose the indoor performance.
Now go watch the Tampere one!
Much Love to you and Ukraine!
Wgat fantastic reaction you felt it didn't hear it there's a difference keep up the good work
Thank you so much Garry! 🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️
Dawkins really makes this version extra special with his appearance on stage. I wish I had been there..🖤
That makes 2 of us! ❤️🙏🤘
Nightwish is the only group that can make me move and cry and each of their songs is an incredible journey into something that is always exciting for me. I can listen to one of their songs even a hundred times but I, always, for a hundred times I will always have strong and new emotions inside me. By the way the guitar part at the beginning was Troy not Empuu ;-) Long life to Nightwish !
Wow indeed. Terrific emotional reaction. This one gets me every time. By the way, Nightwish just played an hour and a half concert at Hellfest 2022 in France. What an amazing sunset show. They played several new songs from their Human || Nature album plus some old favorites. They ended the concert with this song (shortened version). Here's a link to the whole show (professionally filmed and live-streamed by ARTE television):

Well done boet!! Very good reaction.. they do just know how to tell a story hey...
You are in the army now 😉 , welcome to the NW army 👊💪
Thank you! 🙏 NW army for life!! 💪🤘
@@marbenthesaffa 🤘🤘
The more you hear this the more gems you find in the story. Perhaps on of the greatest metal compositions ever written
Great great reaction boet 💥💥💥💥💥
Thanks Gene, much appreciated!! 🙏🙏🤘
That's Troy playing guitar with an e bow at the start, not Emppu
Amazing aint they ?? it was a pleasure to see ur reaction as we get to feel ur emotion like its was our first time seeing this too ....... thankyou 🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇬🇧
Thank you Lisa and thank you for watching!! 🤘🤘🙏
Hi there! Love your reactions! Ahhh...Nightwish!
Become part of your DNA don't they!?
Enjoying this journey with you! Many thanks from Australia!!! 🤗
Hi Eleonora! Thank you very much! They certainly do!!!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🤘
Hey Marben,
Do you have "Master Passion Greed" on your list? If not, you may want to add it. A heavy banger with Marko @ vocals.
This is what Nightwish sounds like when they're angry.
I don't actually but now I do, thank you! 🙏🙏🤘
Nightwish Army UK popping in to say .... WE WERE HERE
So glad you tackled another of their epics. I was so fortunate to hear this live in May on the last night of their North American tour. They killed it, of course. Well done sir!
Hey David. Thank you so much man! Much appreciated! Ahhh I'm so jealous, I hope I am fortunate enough to see them live one day🤞🤘🙏✌️
I was at that same show! A MASTERPIECE! Great show with the perfect end.
@@chrismorris6865 It was a magical night. I remember walking into the Wiltern Theater seeing the same dazed look on everyone's face. I assumed we were all kindred spirits in that moment. I asked someone to pinch me to verify I wasn't in some sort of fever dream. Thank you for the memory!
Jy sal nie kan glo dis moontlik nie, maar die Tampere weergawe is regtig nog beter. En ek wil net vir jou se dat nie 'n enkele een van jou subscribers gaan kla daaroor om daai weergawe ook saam met jou te luister nie!! Baie slim om eers te wag met The poet, en als optelees wat jy kan kry oor die agtergrond, jy gaan dit net soveel meer kan waardeer. Great reaksie...!
Hey Rian! Ek het dit nou geluister en dis fantastic!!! Ek moet se ek hou van alby! Die lietjie gaan lank may my sit en seker dit 100 keer luister🤣
Baie dankoe bra, ek wardeer!
Ik als nederlander kan dit net aan nog lezen en begrijpen. Ben het helemaal met je eens. :thumbsup:
Good call waiting on The Poet and the Pendulum, to me it's their best song, but it is an emotional journey. I like to just put it on, close my and enjoy the ride. The band is amazing, and Floor is the icing on the cake, her voice.....it just...well, it's hard to describe, it just grabs you and holds on. Had you told me a year ago I would be listening to a Metal band I would have called you crazy.....now the of the stuff I used to listen to is just music. Nightwish makes me happy....every song....there are no bad songs.
The spoken bit at the end, delivered by Dawkins, is actually the words of Charles Darwin - the closing lines of "On the Origin of Species".
So we just listen a 20+minutes song and for 20+minutes we have goosebumps. For me this is truly masterpiece like you say. Happy to see you again bro. Great reaction. WE ARE HERE ❤
In my opinion, the greatest composition of my lifetime, and I'm 68. Tuomas has an understanding of the universe that few can measure. The Tampere version is my personal favorite, and as it differs in several meaningful ways, I highly recommend watching it as well. I feel people who listen to this and understand the lyrics should get college credit for Evolutionary Science. Thanks for sharing your enlightenment with us.
Thank you Chad and thank you for watching!! 🤘🤘🙏
You need to react to the 2022 Nightwish in ‘Hellfest concert amazing to see Floor sing now!
Great reaction to my absolutely favourite Nightwish song. I get emotional ever single time i listen to this ...hello from a fellow South African Nightwish fan :)
Hey Angelique. Nice to see another South African here! Thanks for watching, much appreciated!! 🙏🤘🤘
Thank you again! Love your enthusiasm. Also you did your research before doing the reaction.
That is super!
Hey Peter. Thank you very much man! Much appreciated! I did indeed and so happy I did🙏🙏
Thanks again man🙏🙏🤘✌️
Loved your reaction! Please, though, watch at least the opening section at Tampere. You won't regret it.
Thanks Tom, much appreciated! I did watch it and it was awesome to say the least!🙏🙏🙏🤘
OK, you get to see Dawkins here, but the best version of this is the show in Tampere, Finland.
I love the version on the Tampere concert, but because of Richard Dawkins this version touches me a lot - love his books - and I think i will get me soon an E-bow. And I do not think that was the big bang - 4,6 billion years ago asteroids slammed into the new formed earth.
You are ready to hear the poet and the pendulum, when you know that you aren’t
I am certainly not quite ready.. I don't think🤣🤣🤘🙏
Great reaction, now do Shallow or Alone.
Thanks Roy! Those are definitely on the list! 😁😁🤘🙏
Great job
Thanks Fred🙏💪🤘
Great reaction! In your journey to date, I believe this is your first time meeting Troy. He's a very gifted and versatile musician, and it was his electric guitar in the opening (not Emppu), played with a gadget called an e-bow. In that section, he was mimicking a wonderful cello part that is on the album and in other live performances of this song. I love how the switched it up here. You also saw him play his pipes a little later in the opening. There are several moments in this composition that always choke me up, starting with Floor's whispering of 'Us sleeping' and then the orchestral build in the final bow. It's simply an amazing composition, perfectly played by all. Thanks for the heartfelt reaction. On to #9!
Great track, great reaction as per the norm. Marben brings the smiles, better than prozac.
Haha thanks Jon! 🤣🤘🤘🤘🙏
this will be played 150 to 200 years from now, as we play Mozart and Beethoven today.....one slight correction; that's Troy playing guitar (with an e-bow) in the opening, not Emppu.....
Thanks for your Nightwish reactions. Today I fond them and saw them all. Subscribed to be part of your further journey. Greetings from germany! P.S. Please don‘t forget to do High Hopes with Marko as lead singer. ;)
Thank you and thank you for the sub, much appreciated!
Greetings from South Africa! 🤘🤘🤘🙏🇿🇦
But this one is good with Richard at the end
Hay mate, great to see you back with Nightwish. Science has never been more sexy. I'm emotional watching, not just because of Nightwish but also your reactions. Expectation, wonder, pure delight, excitement, it's all there to see. Troy is pure genius, he sings and plays so many instruments. Keep your journey going and work up to Hellfest 2022. Marko has left but Troy has stepped up with more vocals, Nightwish still performing brilliantly. Cheers, Rich.
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🙏🤘
You are becoming one of my favorite reactors for your genuine joy! Every fan has that song...the one that moves them to tears. For many, it's Ghost Love Score or Dead Boy's Poem...and The Poet and the Pendulum (bring tissues when you're ready...and turn on lyric captions!) But for me, it's this opus. The deep meaning of those spoken word passages really smacks me right into a reality of gratitude. Every ife has its pains and hardships...but to be reminded in this way, by these words...that I'm still lucky to be here...moves me to tears (ok, I legit SOB!) every single time! This song kinda changed my life. So glad you enjoyed it so much! And, yes...Emppu did play the Enter Sandman riff! But it was Troy on rhe ebow for the opening b4 switching to his pipes.
Hi Amy! Thank you so much, that really means alot! 🙏🙏
I'm quote nervous about Poet because I'm sure I'm going to be balling my eyes out🤦🤣 But I'm excited!!
Thanks again! And thanks for the support!🤗🙏🤘
@@marbenthesaffa We ALL cry during TPATP! I thank you for doing the research b4 you see it...makes it so much MORE!! I like to sing that song, bc it's challenging...but if I think of the words...I lose it! Tuomas' poetry, his story...is a heavy one!
Aaww! I love all your reactions but I think this one is epic! Thanks for showing how we all felt the first time (and not only the first one) we heard/watched it. This band deserves all the best reviews in the world! Really glad to let us see you in this beautiful journey! What will be your next song? Greets from Spain 🇪🇸 ☺️
Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much! And thank you for watching and the support, it means alot!
Haha you will have to wait and see😉🤘✌️✌️
WE WERE HERE!! Surprisingly, Tuomas said he wrote this song rather quickly, in a matter of a couple of days, but it took a solid 2 and half weeks to mix. It was originally over 30 minutes. The modern age of man section included excerpts from Dies Irae, Minuet in G major by Christian Petzold, Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach and Enter Sandman by Metallica, the last of which you may have caught. This is definitely the most ambitious project Nightwish has ever done. Check out the Tampere version as well, some differences in their homeland and outdoors. There is still much, much Nightwish greatness to discover. P.S. congrats on making it on to Alex Terrible’s channel for most intense reactions to Doom 👍🏻
Yes I saw it in your reaction that was metallica enter sandman played by empu
Also part of historie.
I actually loved how they did that! Really clever writing! 🤘🤘✌️🙏
You tricked me really good lad lol
Let's go to their next Wembly show together 😁
Haha my apologies! 🤣 I'm there like a bear!!! Let's do it! 😁🤣🤘🙏
Tampere version is more spectacular but Wembley is a bit more emotional. Having Dawkins at the end is such a bonus. Extraordinary "song" no mater the gig.
Great review of The Greatest Song? Ever Composed? 😀
Thanks Hans! This is definitely among the greatest composed song I've had the pleasure of listening to! 🤘✌️🙏
This reaction is epic and so are Nightwish! Thank you!
Hi Time! Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🤘
While both Wembley and Tampere are great have to admit I always feel a little disappointed when it is Wembley. Glad you watched both. For me the fireworks, Troy's low whistle instead of the e-bow, Floor walking out on stage into the crowd, her outfit, it is just so much more epic. Kind of like Ghost Love Score at Wacken vs Buenos Aries in 2012. Love both but prefer the more epic performance. I know people say that the audio is better at Wembley but they are so close I have never noticed it. I do think the spoken word section in the outro at Tampere is higher in the mix and easier to hear and understand. Dawkins walking out on stage does nothing for me. Just my opinion and to each, their own.
oh MarbenTheSaffa, we need some adjustments here ;)
The first chapter is called 4.6, which is the age of the planet earth in billion years
The first hard orchestral/musical punch, this here (2:38 - 2:58) is NOT the big bang, in my opinion this is the collision of the proto-earth with another protoplanet which later created the moon , followed by "The Great Bombardment" (3:52)
The Guitar in the first chapter is played by Troy Donockley, not Empuu ...
Great reaction, and i like your -eskimo- electric callboy hoodie ;)
please continue to react to Nightwish
Haha thank you, yeah I need some lessons🤣 Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it!
And thank you for the really nice comment! I have no intention of stopping NW reactions. Absolutely love the band and there is still so much to discover🙏🙏✌️🤘
Not a complaint - just a suggestion - do the Tampere version too?.... one hint - FIREWORKS!. and put on the captions so you can see the names of the parts? ... It's actually Troy playing the guitar intro!!! Love Floor's whisper "Us.....sleeping."... The original composition was longer! I've read and heard it was between 24% and 75% longer! even the smaller amount is astonishing! Tuomas cut it down for the album and performance........ Exactly! They are FAMILY!
Hey Damien! Thanks man, I actually after this reaction went and watched the Tampere version and I see why everyone was hoping for that one. I honestly like both and they each have their little differences. Both are great! The song in general is just something spectacular in all ways!!
Thanks for the information and the comment man, much appreciated!!! 🤘🤘🙏🙏✌️
That's Troy on the guitar with the e-bow in the intro, not Empuu 🙂
Great reaction. Now off to the Tampere Version (just for yourself)
I've been told yes🤦
Thank you very much! I have actually gone and listened to that version and both are fantastic!!! 🙏💪🤘😁
This is an epic performance and I will say nobody would be offended if you did a reaction to live at Tampere version as well😉…just sayin’👍
Tuomas, the Metal Mozart's greatest or 2nd greatest composition (depending on the person)!!!
100% agree with you there!!! 🙏🙏🙏
TOUMAS AND Troy Donocly play the Intro to the greatest Show on earth
