Thank you for giving Kai some love. He is an incredible drummer and doesn't always get his shine because every member in Nightwish is so brilliant.
Wintersun's Sons of Winter and Stars makes Mr.Hahto work and sweat even more behind his drum kit.
Haha, I was just going to suggest that if he like to see Kai work a bit harder.
Yes, Sons of Winter and Stars (Sonic Pump Studios live rehearsal)
Sweating during Sons of Winter and Stars, huh? That’s just a morning walk in the park compared to him playing Meshuggah’s ”War” with Rotten Sound. If you can play a song live that Tomas Haake can’t, you have won in the game called life.
@@OBTHT Yeah, or obey where we can see how he deliver a really hard massage to the foot pedals. (if youtube give you a decent FPS)
th-cam.com/video/SHoY51VCluI/w-d-xo.html
But he is older now, he is maybe not that fast any more but half of it is a human speed.
YES Kai doesn’t get the credit he deserves. One of the best drummers in the world...and he’s from my home town
Helsinki?
There's a video of him on TH-cam just playing solo and his skills are quite staggering.
Me, whenever "We were here" approaches: Not gonna cry. Not gonna cry. I am NOT going to cr- OH F*CK I'M BAWLING AGAIN.
Just gets me every time.
(I had so much fun watching this reaction. The commentary was so spot on, too!)
I bet you never saw anyone playing the fireworks before? The genius it takes to put a song like this together is just insane, my tiny brain cant even comprehend how he did it.
Jean Michel Jarre did it 30 years ago, and he had a laser harp. Still very very cool though.
That epilepsy warning remark just about killed me haha 🤣
Dark passion play, Imaginarium and endless forms most beautiful must be listened to from beginning to end. each album tells a story and the story is whatever you want it to be. This song is about the creation of the universe and life. EPIC. WE WERE HEEEEEEEEERE!
"You don't see people own the stage like that."
Yes, Floor has amazing stage presence. 😊 But I admit that there's another singer I've seen live who completely owns the stage and the audience: JP Leppäluoto. That man has an unholy amount of charisma, and is also one of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I'd highly suggest reacting to some of his music. (He's also really close friends with both Marco and Floor, and I imagine the other NW members as well.)
I love the series of music videos that JP did with Marko & Ari Koivunen under the name "Powerless Trio". Here they are doing a country-rock version of Dio's "Holy Diver": th-cam.com/video/j5X03tHmKZg/w-d-xo.html
Ahaha you made me laugh at “I can’t even talk with my eyes closed “ Great reaction tho !! Please do Sahara from Tampa please if you haven’t yet 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
Kai kills it on the drums. He is from Winter Sun. Marko doesn't drink any more.
Nightwish always gives the greatest show on earth (lol), this song is about the evolution of the earth, it's a masterpiece
This song is absolutely everything you said! Summarized as: The Greatest Show on Earth. 🔥😉
Drums:the Pirat/Machine
Bass: Viking
Keyboards: Wizard
Guitar: Warlock (Not hobbit) :)
Vocals: Valkyrie
flute/ Pipes: Druid
NIGHTWISH - Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean - Live In Buenos Aires (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO)
you can see a little more what the drummer can do
Kai Hahto drums
Troy was playing what are called uilleann pipes .. aka .. Irish bagpipe. from linked Wikipedia article .. "The uilleann pipes have a different harmonic structure, sounding sweeter and quieter than many other bagpipes, such as the Great Irish warpipes, Great Highland bagpipes or the Italian zampognas. The uilleann pipes are often played indoors, and are almost always played sitting down."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes
about Kai, the drummer, not just 17 min as you said, but an entire show, this is the last song of two hours show,
Floor playing the air guitar " 15:35 " love it 🤘
Good reaction Bro 🤘....though youve missed the endcrowning 🦉💜👑
Kai Hahto is the Beast!!
Her vocal majesty our queen Floor is amazing again! And the band is performing great! Another Floorgasm, I hope! Best (night)wishes, dude!
I am starting to see what you mean. She and Mercury are the only guys who can pull of wearing a cape on stage.
I just live Floor's expressive face and gestures.
First of all you got the wrong version of the video, this song is 21 min and you missed the last 3 minutes of it! this is about the evolution of life on the planet earth, starts from beginning of the creation until present day and the imaginary of the screen in background follows that concept! BTW, The greatest show on Earth is the title of a book by Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary British biologist who was the Tuomas's inspiration for the album Endless Forms most Beautiful in 2015. Thank you man! enjoy your reactions 🤘🤘🖤🖤
It's very hard to hear what Richard Dawkins say in the Tampere version, that part is better @ Wembley but no there was no firework there :-/
Yea audio was not the greatest unfortunately
Shanksy Reacts even so, there’s a little more audio after where you cut off where they got Richard Dawkins to record a nice little epilogue that’s worth listening to. There’s a little more music afterward too.
Now you understand why this one and The poet and the pendulum are always my first suggestions, together with Ghost love score... All Nightwish songs are great or amazing, but these three are metal symphonies... Now you know, The Poet should be the next one, and don't forget to do Epica sometime...
Greetings from Spain and stay metal...
Yay you did it! :) Told you it was good, glad you enjoyed it :) Yes you missed out the last couple of mins of the spoken word part at the very end, but in the grand scheme of things its not the end of the world, everything else was solid! I don't think you've met their original singer, Tarja (tarya) yet have you?? I think it might be time for you to hear her, and I strongly suggest Phantom of the opera at the end of an era gig :)
Btw, on the new album coming out on Friday (counting down the hours!) the 'evil genius' - aka Tuomas-has written a song/instrumental score in 8 parts that's an entire CD itself (hence why its a double album)
both doing the vocals ? there are 3 singing...
Yes Troy
Tuomas was about to make this 45 min long but had to shorten it ; ) ... in the album this is even longer than here.
About that imagery in the background. You should have a read of the lyrics. This song, let alone this entire album, is inspired by your country's own Richard Dawkins. He's the one who is reading the narrative at the beginning and end of the song. This song is about the evolution of the universe, including us, from the Big Bang (the fireworks) through LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor), in which all organisms on the planet have a common descent, through the creation of the earth. For example: "Common Laws of Gravity pulls the newborns around the fire". The planets being formed around the sun. "A Careless cold infinity in every vast direction." Space. "Lonely bearer in the goldilocks zone, she has a tale to tell." The goldilocks zone is the perfect distance from a star where conditions are perfect for supporting life.
From that, through the various ages, to where we hit the modern era, where if you listen closely, you'll hear excerpts from Mozart, to banjo playing, to Metallica (in particular, Enter Sandman), to techno. In short, this show isn't the Greatest show on earth; we, *LIFE* is the Greatest Show on Earth. The last narrating by Dawkins during the credits ends with "from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful are, and are still being evolved." Note the name of the album that this song is on. It's no coincidence.
🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 Oh yeah m8!!! So great!!!! 😁🤘🤘
Yeah man, for someone having to replace Jukka, I'm glad it's Kai!!!! 🤘🤘
check out Wintersun Sons of winter and stars, live rehearsal for more Kai on the drums....I kinda want to see you pick your jaw up from the floor....
The original Greatest Show on Earth was something like 40mins long, Tuomas said in an interview. It had to be cut down to fit on the album and for playing it live.
did you hear the short music shout out to Metallica at 17.52 ?
Yes, it includes the Metallica-riff. That part is about the evolution of music, starting from classical, going through metal ending with a technobeat.
Enter mr sandeman.
Removing the headphones to talk while the song is still playing....ouch. missing the last minutes of the song...big ouch.
My headphones are loud enough I can still hear with them off - However gutted I missed the last mins of the song watched the full video to the end - gutted
@@shanksyreacts9898 Your headphones are loud....what about US????? Jst little whining of music, and only we hear is your voice. Audio vol UP 😠
Everyone is saying I missed the last few mins - Anyone have a link to the full video then?
Hi something for you to check out
Nightwish scaretale, nata work studio it's a put together live and studio version that's very good It's anette Olsen singing
Go on give it a try probably hiding behind the sofa lol
Well if you want another mad genius... X Japan - art of life (live) (1993 tokyo dome).. it's over 30min song; if it's too long for you to start off, go ahead and listen to their other songs like kurenai, endless rain or anything from their last live. Cheers :)
You did the ape sounds marvelously, haha. Great and entertaining reaction as always! :)
If for some people you talk to much while listening then why they don't just go to the original video and listen to it instead?🙃 That's why is a reaction.
Now, I liked your reaction, it looked like you enjoyed it and that's what matter! I hope bad comments doesn't take away the joy of listening to them!
If you look at the show from wembly the Prof comes on at the end (Richard Dawkins)
Speaking of "We were here"... you will absolutely love Alpenglow at Wembley.
Cheers!
This song develops slowly to represent the forming of the universe. Troy is playing a very English instrument called a tin whistle or penny whistle. a type of ancient flute. That was Richard Dawkins spoken words. A song that covers 4.6 billion years of the evolution of the universe, the solar system, earth, and Humankind. It starts with;
Archaean horizon
The first sunrise
On a pristine gaea
Opus perfectum
Somewhere there, us sleeping
And ends with;
Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day'll cease to be
Greet the last light of the library
We were here!
It is a journey. It’s about evolution, from the beginning until man.
Not David Attenburough but Richard Dawkins, one of the most famous evolutionist al times..
Side note the reason the song is titled Greatest Show on Earth is because song itself is the evolution of the earth and life from the beginning when it was nothing but Stardust all the way to the time of man that's why it's so many different segments so many different visuals Greatest Show on Earth is life itself
someone took liberty to cut this song almost half, what a shame.
i think you need to do Gloryhole by steel panther. You'll find that hilarious
Steel Panther, The Darkness, and Nanowar of Steel - all very funny, and all brilliant musicians.
@@richardgoddard37 and don't forget Alestorm and gloryhammer! we need to get him doing gloryhole though lol
The new one from Alestorm is insane, or F*cked with an Anchor🤣
@@richardgoddard37 OMG that is SO good !
This is not the original Video, the original perfomance is 22 min.long, you missed the most important part for the message of the song.
Shanksy shanksy shanksy...cutting it off and not playing the full video...that is treason my man. Punishable by death from the nightwish army.🤦♂️
Brian Tracy , totally agree - got the wrong link unfortunately- but watched all of what I had 🙄
@@shanksyreacts9898 here it is..
th-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/w-d-xo.html
Next up would logically be The Poet And The Pendulum th-cam.com/video/qUAoCc9mYFA/w-d-xo.html . This is a very special song however so in order to appreciate it fully, make sure you read the wikipedia article about the history of the band and on the song itself.
This song is about Tuomas' feelings of self-hatred and depression (and his virtual suicide) following the firing of Nightwish's first vocalist and Tuomas' long time friend Tarja, as well as the hate and backlash he got from it. I recommend having the lyrics open when you react to it.
The song is also a frequent copyright claim target. Most reactors I've seen who successfully upload it make several pauses throughout the song to comment/analyze it for more than a few seconds. In some cases, that wasn't enough and they just uploaded the reaction video elsewhere and made a video on TH-cam with the link.
Well do mate cheers! All of my content gets copyright striked lol so I’m used to it
Kai is a world class drummer but doesn't get the love he deserves as he hasn't got the charisma of the previous drummer Jukka who had to retire due to health problems.
To bad you didn't watch it till the end of the credits and missed 2 parts of the spoken words that still belong to the song i was already wondering when you said 17 min song cuz its around 21/24 min, so i guess you had the wrong video :( and Troy is also singing with Marko and Floor in harmony and played the flute and Uillean pipes at the start of the song
Gutted - was not on that video I watched
@@shanksyreacts9898 Yea i saw you had the wrong version, cuz it should be around 24 min, on the album even longer, and talking about 17 min songs :) The new album they made with 2 cd's cuz 1 is 1 song in 8 parts :) so around 35 min
Weak fantasy ,same stage😁🤘
The growling is the rise of the caveman..
I hate myself for it but this is one of the Nightwish songs I don't like. If you ever want to check out Nightwish's first singer try something like Slaying the Dreamer from the End of an Era concert. I love that song by Tarja!
yeah, Kai ain't no slouch fo sho

Ascension Energetics cheers mate
Have a look at interview Floor and Troy done. (th-cam.com/video/4KwxEhWs1MK/w-d-xo.html )
Oh boy, hahahahahahahahahahah
Keep your head shaved Shansky! Looks great on you :D
please validate the subtitles
you missed the last minutes, lol
first
Boo no end bit
Sorry. He didn't catch the Sandman riff so I cant like this video.....
"He's playing with his eyes shut" Have you ever heard Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder?
This bugger can't even talk with his eyes shut! Just listen to the song. Don't try to be a commentator.
is it impossible to just enjoy a song without beeing obnoxious?
