Reaction videos, for when you are so talentless and irrelevant, the only thing you can come up with for creating content is sticking your insufferable face over actually talented people's performance.
Floor Jansen is indeed Dutch. The rest of the band is from Finland except for the one member you didn't see in this video, Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist, who is English. That large "organ" is a prop, hiding the keyboards of the composer and lyricist of most of the songs of this band, Tuomas Holopainen, who is often called the "Metal Mozart." This song introduces the band, but there is so much more to come. Every member is an extremely talented musician who plays for the song. Their teamwork is phenomenal and the resulting music is a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. I hope you continue down this path, where every song is different, and there isn't a bad song in the bunch.
I am most definitely bored of that song from all the reactions i've seen. No knock on the song, but i'm not checking new reactor just because they reacted to it.
Yes, Floor Jansen is Dutch. Married to Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of the Swedish band Sabaton. Previous band Floor was a memeber of were After Forever and Revamp. Soon the general of the Nightwish army will react to you and give you the details of the band. It is very informative, like the cooperation they have with the London Symphonic Orchestre and also some choirs. Enjoy especially the live versions, they are the best. This version of this song was at the Wacken metal festival, they were the main act at this festival and their concert was 2 hours and more than 82 thousend paying attendees.
very good reaction, thanks from Colorado. so do more Nighwish. both of you. am 72 and have seen the best rock bands live in euroland, and the US. his top 3 rock band all time
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Floor stands just a tad under 6-2 in bare feet, and she's wearing 4 to 5 inch heels here....she's the Valkyrie Goddess.....Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist, co-founder (in 1996), leader, guru, composer, lyricist, arranger, and producer of 95% of the band's music.....he's the Metal Mozart".....audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000......this entire show is available on both DVD and TH-cam, under the title of "Showtime, Storytime".....Hello from Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA
Hello Anthony Ray ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you and your friend @BlakcPegasus for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. 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. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 That's right, I didn't react very quickly, because BP is not at his first reaction to Nightwish (it's his YT channel). But after seeing the reaction, I was pleasantly impressed by AR's openness to this genre of music - I hope he will find time to look through the comments of this post, considering that he will not receive notifications, not being his channel.
She has said it's sorta that way for herself too. Her own channel, she looked back on this particular video since it has become so popular on youtube and listening to herself hit that note, she got a little choked up too.
She is simply the best vocalist I've come across in my lifetime...and you haven't even scratched the surface of her range in songs. Welcome to the rabbit hole!
The keyboardist is who composes and directs 90% of their music that Oregon in front of him is just a front for his keyboard that is at the Wacken open air festival. There are 82 or 80,000 people there. It’s a festival in Germany if you hadn’t heard for rock bands, it’s kind of the Olympics in my opinion and that feeling you get when she hits that last high note, everybody affectionately calls that a floorgasm
I saw Nightwish live in Birmingham UK in November 2022, they are awesome, best live band I've ever seen. Never thought any would top Muse and Iron Maiden but they did.
To switch it up, you gotta show Anthony how diverse they are. "Shudder Before The Beautiful" live from Wembley "Romanticide" live from Wacken "Ghost River" Live from Wacken "I Want My Tears Back" live from Buenos Aires "Storytime" Live from Wacken "Weak Fantasy" live from Tampere "Elvenjiig/Elven Path" live from Buenos Aires
😚AHHH....yep... some would probably need to smoke after that performance😎Hearing Floor belt that out was some ear candy for sure!! I dont blame Anthony for his jaw laying on the floor.😂
How cool that you knew Floor was Dutch. Epic is a great word for Nightwish and the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. Floor Jansen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the attention and focus!
She didn't miss a note. Don't forget that this song was the 13th of a 15 song setlist. The whole video of this show is about 1 hour and 38 minutes long. But, I've read comments that say that there are other videos of this show that are a little sped up.
Hi ! I´m really glad you introduced Nightwish to him. Also I´m glad that there are two guys who do understand what is good music all about. You got a new subscriber for that. Hope we´ll see again with NW music with you both. Greets from Finland. Take care.
I went to see Nightwish live last year and their last 2 songs of the set were Ghost Love Song at 10 mins long and Greatest Show on Earth which is 22 mins long

Thank you for your reactions. I saw this video for the first time not too long ago. It is definitely unique and epic. Her voice is mesmerizing and the band is fire!!`! 😲🎸🥁🎹🎶🔊🎻🎺
Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, très bonne réaction à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Vous venez de faire connaissance du métal symphonique et de notre reine Floor , mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Faites le festival Open Air Wacken 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe. Vous venez d'écouter la chanson 13 sur les 15 du set complet, ensuite toujours dans le même concert, faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse, puis essayez le Storytime, un excellent rock comme on les aime, avec une bonne surprise avant la fin de la chanson ou alors du plus lourd avec Ghost River pour entendre le mélange des voix de Floor avec Marko ou encore plus lourd avec Romanticide..... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel Bardac devait arriver sous peu ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel d'avoir repris le flambeau de notre regrettée Anne ) cliquez sur son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre le meilleur du groupe. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait ........ Merci et à bientôt. Bonne écoute et un nouvel abonné ici.......Allez en paix mon ami.
Hey Anthony Ray, greetings from UK That was a great reaction, thank you. And thank BP for sharing it with you, the sign of a true fan who shares his love of music with others 😉 The world needs more people like you guys
A friend once asked me to describe the band. I told him, imagine a symphony orchestra, a finnish rock band, a blues band, and a singer that can sing any style, falling down a flight of stairs, and getting up at the bottom and playing. And floor? where do i start? Siren, Valkyrie, Succubus, call her any of those, and you would be correct. I'm sure there are more. Welcome to the Nightwish dream.
Nightwish is from Finland, but Floor is from the Netherlands. You were damn feckin right on that one. Most talented female voice in all over rock and metal these days. No one carries emotions within her voice like Floor. You know why? Because she is what is called a hypersensitive person in medical therms.
This could be the entry into a massive rabbit hole. I recommend mostly live performances from Wacken 2013, Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018.
Although I am not a fan of either of the previous singers, every song at this concert (15) was written for them but Floor absolutely nails them all. For me she has taken Nightwish to another level and only watch and listen to them post 2012.
Welcome to enjoy music without auto-tune,and dare I say real instruments.. The group was founded in Finland.. in nothern europe they are considered to be one off the best! Amazing
About the "organ/pipes" it is of course decoration to hide his triple Korg keyboards. Nightwish is finnish Tuomas the keyboard Player once said it was a Tribute to the Finnish violist and composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) and to his monument in the finnish capital Helsinki, 600+ decorated steel pipes . th-cam.com/video/UbWb-zy85cc/w-d-xo.html Knowing Tuomas, there is always a meaning behind everything.
Greatest joy of my life was seeing Nightwish live. If i may suggest, one of my favorite songs of theirs is Storytime, Floor performs it so well! Pan of their newest album is also very amazing!
Anthony, I am a little surprised that you have never heard Nightwish before, specifically because Floor is the vocalist now. She is their Third vocalist and from what the band leader (and their Keyboardist) Tuomas has said, there won't be another vocalist after her. There are GREAT reasons that this is one of the top-most reacted-to videos on the internet. NIGHTWISH is one of the greatest bands to see live. This particular performance was at Wacken, Germany in 20013 where there were somewhere around 82,000 people in attendance. Can you imagine the RUSH of the feeling of power, having THAT MANY people wrapped around your little finger while leading them in a chant and getting them to do whatever you wanted for that moment? OMG! Not many people could manage what Floor did in this video. Every member of this band is World-Class in their roles and you just can't go wrong with a group like them.
Fantastic job from both of you guys to our beloved Nightwish with their 3rd and current female lead vocalist, our 6'1" (barefoot) Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen) putting on an absolute showcase. I loved it and thank you for this dive into our Nightwish rabbit hole. Hope to see you back again soon. Nightwish Army Phoenix subscriber here for you.
You sound like a native Dutch speaking person, Anthony, the way you pronounce orgel with the Dutch "g". I have been a fan of Floor since I heard her for the first time with After Forever in 2004. She led me to Nightwish when she joined them in 2012 and I'm really grateful for that. I believe keyboard player and composer Tuomas Halopainen is a genius. Thanks for your reaction! Groeten uit het Westland, Nederland 🤘
Not "everyone"... I LOVE this song and Nightwish and Floor, so I let a potential boyfriend listened to this song, hoping he would love it too. He listened looking bored and just said something like: "Hm... way too long". Because of this I found out he was a narcissist that could not feel the emotions from this song or Floor's voice, and this insight saved me from a LOT of heartache and misery I think. :) So it can actually help discover narcs as they get exposed by their inability to feel emotions.
Your gentle and respectful listening was really great. Thank you.❤ It's called FLOORGASM what you felt! If you want to listen to her with something familiar (cover) go on with - Shallow on Beste Zangers show 2019 - on her TH-cam channel Floor Jansen: Alone
Funny to hear Dutch on your channel. Dag, buurman! lol. And we got another victim of the Floorgasm! Those last notes go through your scalp and your whole body. That woman is amazing!
I LOOOOVEED it how you fuxxxin didn't interrupt the video 100 times like others did. I loved it how you listened to it!! And the reaction of your faces were real. Not staged. Wow, thumbs up!! Great video, loved it.
Now you have experienced this, please watch: Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019. It will blow your mind how talented she is.
To be this on point when this was the 13th song of a 15 song set...amazing! The guitar solo proves that often less is more. And don't get me started on the drumming. As a drummer for 54 years (I'm 61), I cannot tell you how tricky this is. And Flors vocals...what can you say...?
Love the introduction. Nightwish music fullfills my past fantasies and imaginations that i had as a kid playing D&D, Heroes of Might and Magic etc and all those fantasy lord of the rings type movies and books i read.
Not gonna lie, initially I judged you guys by your appearance. I thought that here are some random youtubers again who are reacting to Ghost Love Score just for the views, i.e not for the music itself. But you guys proved me wrong and maybe I learned something about myself also! It's hard to explain, but I can see that you guys have soul and I like the way you think, analyze and approach things, so definitely a new subscriber here!
You should check out also Nightwish's first singer Tarja! One of my favorite live performances with Nightwish is Phantom of the Opera and if you want to see her solo, check out her Supremacy cover 🔥
Great reaction video, guys. Well thought out and articulated by a couple of knowledgeable folks. Hope to see you do some more Nightwish. The Nightwish Army says 'welcome".
And Floor is also married to the drummer in the Swedish band Sabaton ( modern metal bards when it comes to war history ( since you are getting all the nightwish lore i go for the more obscure info connected to nightwish) .. great live ( fun dudes) amazing music videos ( Christmas truth, Bismarck or 1916) .. torching animated versions with a lot of history ( no bullets fly, nightwitches) .. lives are really good ( Gothenburg “ en livstid I krig” English subtitles comes to mind .. and more) .. but when it comes to nightwish .. romanticide and song of myself
This is one of the reasons I have started watching your channel more often and it's because you do on here what most of us do when we experience a new great band we invite our friends in and share it. Keep passing on great music!

My guess is he was hinting at a other dutch girl name fleur not floor but he did guess it was dutch so thats ok.
@@scb2scb2. I’m pretty sure he knew exactly how to pronounce Floor, being Belgian. And my in-laws are Dutch….
We have the name Fleur in Holland too a lot.@@scb2scb2
Fee-or , yansen.
But Floor is not Fleur. Floor is short for Florence (Flor in Spanish), but Fleur is the French word for flower.
Nightwish, Epica, and Within Temptation ❤
Nightwish is from Finland. I'll never ger tired of watching Ghost love score reactions.
I am most definitely bored of that song from all the reactions i've seen. No knock on the song, but i'm not checking new reactor just because they reacted to it.
@@grischad20and yet here you are listening to a song you’re bored of hearing
Floor herself is Dutch though.
Doctor; "I'm sorry sir, you have only 10 minutes to live." Patient; "Would you mind playing Nightwish's Ghost Love Score?"
Yes!
I'd die with a smile on my face and chills all over my body
Wow, that would be a very hard question! I'd have to choose between GLS and Innuendo by Queen being a 44 year Queen fan. Impossible choice for me!
Amen. I'd try to get him/her to play Ever Dream, if we have time..
@@natasjadirken5633Sell who wants to live forever?
I'm blown away every time I see that performance. Amazing! Epic!
That moment when you see someone who is not exactly sure what they are seeing but you know they need more of it. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Yes, Floor Jansen is Dutch. Married to Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of the Swedish band Sabaton. Previous band Floor was a memeber of were After Forever and Revamp. Soon the general of the Nightwish army will react to you and give you the details of the band. It is very informative, like the cooperation they have with the London Symphonic Orchestre and also some choirs. Enjoy especially the live versions, they are the best.

Hello Anthony Ray ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you and your friend @BlakcPegasus for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
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.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album].

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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community
🤘
Welcome general.
I had been wondering how long it would take for you to find this - and as usual you did not disappoint.
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 That's right, I didn't react very quickly, because BP is not at his first reaction to Nightwish (it's his YT channel).

@@ranekeisenkralle8265 Nightshift on Christmas, listening to Nightwish.. 🤘
Nightwish is Finnish band and Floor the lead singer is Dutch, living in Sweden and her man is the drummer of Sabaton
The look on Anthony's face at 12:20 says it all about this song! LoL
Yesssssss!!!° stay on the Nightwish train. Floor is the Dutch Valkyrie and never grow tired of her voice.
That final note she hits is like the brown note for my tear ducts.
She has said it's sorta that way for herself too. Her own channel, she looked back on this particular video since it has become so popular on youtube and listening to herself hit that note, she got a little choked up too.
Nota marrón!!!
That exact part is where EVERYONE experiences their first, what's widely known as, Floorgasm lol hits me every time
Nightwish is literally one of the best bands in the whole world
Anthony, you got 'that look' when she started singing...the one everyone gets 😊 she's mesmerizing
She is simply the best vocalist I've come across in my lifetime...and you haven't even scratched the surface of her range in songs. Welcome to the rabbit hole!
And it isn't just her range. She's very theatrical/story telling with her voice and she knows how to put a lot of emotions in her voice.
“…forgive the adoring B E A S T…” is my favourite bit 😅
The keyboardist is who composes and directs 90% of their music that Oregon in front of him is just a front for his keyboard that is at the Wacken open air festival. There are 82 or 80,000 people there. It’s a festival in Germany if you hadn’t heard for rock bands, it’s kind of the Olympics in my opinion and that feeling you get when she hits that last high note, everybody affectionately calls that a floorgasm
I saw Nightwish live in Birmingham UK in November 2022, they are awesome, best live band I've ever seen. Never thought any would top Muse and Iron Maiden but they did.
I was there as well. Loved it.
JEALOUS!!!
Nightwish, Muse and Rammstein are the Holy Trinity of live bands 😁🤘🏻
To switch it up, you gotta show Anthony how diverse they are.

Respect. You know Floor Jansen is a dutch name🤘okay we in Germany has many Jansen too. Great reaction guys🤘
He is Flemish from Belgium.
😚AHHH....yep...
some would probably need to smoke after that performance😎Hearing Floor belt that out was some ear candy for sure!!
I dont blame Anthony for his jaw laying on the floor.😂
No one ever touches on floors little salute to the audience at the end….i always get a warm feeling when I see that hahaha…
What Anthony just experienced is called a Floorgasm. This is also similar to Transiberian Orchestra that mixing metal and opera.
Awesome song thanks for reacting guys
You don't even know what a joy it is when your heads involuntarily bob to the rhythm - wonderful
How cool that you knew Floor was Dutch. Epic is a great word for Nightwish and the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. Floor Jansen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the attention and focus!
Another soul snatched by the Valkyrie Godess
And Yes its THE MOST reacted to song on YT
Symphonic metal
They're famous from that
Epic❤
She didn't miss a note. Don't forget that this song was the 13th of a 15 song setlist. The whole video of this show is about 1 hour and 38 minutes long. But, I've read comments that say that there are other videos of this show that are a little sped up.

And no one in the band is in their 20s anymore. I'm getting tired just watching them! lol

Thank you for your reactions. I saw this video for the first time not too long ago. It is definitely unique and epic. Her voice is mesmerizing and the band is fire!!`! 😲🎸🥁🎹🎶🔊🎻🎺
Also, this was 70 plus into the concert. So Floor having that control and power that deep into the show shows just how accomplished she is
Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, très bonne réaction à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Vous venez de faire connaissance du métal symphonique et de notre reine Floor , mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Faites le festival Open Air Wacken 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe. Vous venez d'écouter la chanson 13 sur les 15 du set complet, ensuite toujours dans le même concert, faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse, puis essayez le Storytime, un excellent rock comme on les aime, avec une bonne surprise avant la fin de la chanson ou alors du plus lourd avec Ghost River pour entendre le mélange des voix de Floor avec Marko ou encore plus lourd avec Romanticide..... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel Bardac devait arriver sous peu ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel d'avoir repris le flambeau de notre regrettée Anne ) cliquez sur son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio mais ce n'est pas une obligation, juste un sage conseil pour entendre le meilleur du groupe. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait ........ Merci et à bientôt. Bonne écoute et un nouvel abonné ici.......Allez en paix mon ami.
Hey Anthony Ray, greetings from UK
That was a great reaction, thank you. And thank BP for sharing it with you, the sign of a true fan who shares his love of music with others 😉
The world needs more people like you guys
A friend once asked me to describe the band. I told him, imagine a symphony orchestra, a finnish rock band, a blues band, and a singer that can sing any style, falling down a flight of stairs, and getting up at the bottom and playing. And floor? where do i start? Siren, Valkyrie, Succubus, call her any of those, and you would be correct. I'm sure there are more. Welcome to the Nightwish dream.
Nightwish is from Finland, but Floor is from the Netherlands. You were damn feckin right on that one. Most talented female voice in all over rock and metal these days. No one carries emotions within her voice like Floor. You know why? Because she is what is called a hypersensitive person in medical therms.
This could be the entry into a massive rabbit hole.
I recommend mostly live performances from Wacken 2013, Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018.
Although I am not a fan of either of the previous singers, every song at this concert (15) was written for them but Floor absolutely nails them all. For me she has taken Nightwish to another level and only watch and listen to them post 2012.
Welcome aboard! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!
Welcome to enjoy music without auto-tune,and dare I say real instruments.. The group was founded in Finland.. in nothern europe they are considered to be one off the best! Amazing
About the "organ/pipes" it is of course decoration to hide his triple Korg keyboards. Nightwish is finnish
Tuomas the keyboard Player once said it was a Tribute to the Finnish violist and composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) and to his monument in the finnish capital Helsinki, 600+ decorated steel pipes .

Knowing Tuomas, there is always a meaning behind everything.
Yoah! You gotta take him to Romanticide next! 😂❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Please just live the moment. Next, Nightwish --Islander
Greatest joy of my life was seeing Nightwish live. If i may suggest, one of my favorite songs of theirs is Storytime, Floor performs it so well! Pan of their newest album is also very amazing!
Greatest Show On Earth is the longest over 20 min., it is FRICKIN epic!!!
Anthony, I am a little surprised that you have never heard Nightwish before, specifically because Floor is the vocalist now. She is their Third vocalist and from what the band leader (and their Keyboardist) Tuomas has said, there won't be another vocalist after her.
There are GREAT reasons that this is one of the top-most reacted-to videos on the internet. NIGHTWISH is one of the greatest bands to see live. This particular performance was at Wacken, Germany in 20013 where there were somewhere around 82,000 people in attendance.
Can you imagine the RUSH of the feeling of power, having THAT MANY people wrapped around your little finger while leading them in a chant and getting them to do whatever you wanted for that moment? OMG! Not many people could manage what Floor did in this video.
Every member of this band is World-Class in their roles and you just can't go wrong with a group like them.
Oh, he's hooked for life! Great reaction!
100% correct. Floor is absolutely Dutch. The band itself is from Finland.
Welcome to nightwish heaven friends! ❤
Watch their 20 minute long song "The Greatest Show on Earth" so you can hear Marko sing too. His and Floor's voices blend so well.
Majestic, bombastic, ethereal, enchanting, rockin'! That's Nightwish! Well done, Anthony and Black Pegasus.
Bring more Nightwish reactions with Antony.
Anthony looked completely shook at her sound. I dig it.
I love the way you two quieted down and your features softened
Fantastic job from both of you guys to our beloved Nightwish with their 3rd and current female lead vocalist, our 6'1" (barefoot) Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen) putting on an absolute showcase. I loved it and thank you for this dive into our Nightwish rabbit hole. Hope to see you back again soon. Nightwish Army Phoenix subscriber here for you.
You sound like a native Dutch speaking person, Anthony, the way you pronounce orgel with the Dutch "g". I have been a fan of Floor since I heard her for the first time with After Forever in 2004. She led me to Nightwish when she joined them in 2012 and I'm really grateful for that. I believe keyboard player and composer Tuomas Halopainen is a genius. Thanks for your reaction! Groeten uit het Westland, Nederland 🤘
He is Flemish from Belgium.
what a tight and powerful rhythm section and then there is floor jansen and one of the most beautiful voices
You both looked enthralled!
We know the Nightwish magic does this to everyone ✨
Enjoy these talented musicians. 🎵
Not "everyone"...
I LOVE this song and Nightwish and Floor, so I let a potential boyfriend listened to this song, hoping he would love it too. He listened looking bored and just said something like: "Hm... way too long".
Because of this I found out he was a narcissist that could not feel the emotions from this song or Floor's voice, and this insight saved me from a LOT of heartache and misery I think. :)
So it can actually help discover narcs as they get exposed by their inability to feel emotions.
Your gentle and respectful listening was really great.
Thank you.❤
It's called FLOORGASM what you felt!
If you want to listen to her with something familiar (cover) go on with
- Shallow on Beste Zangers show 2019
- on her TH-cam channel Floor Jansen: Alone
7 hours! I like this guy, you should invite him more often.
Funny to hear Dutch on your channel. Dag, buurman! lol. And we got another victim of the Floorgasm! Those last notes go through your scalp and your whole body. That woman is amazing!
The greatest show on earth live from tampere, is when I came across nightwish I am glad I watched it.
I LOOOOVEED it how you fuxxxin didn't interrupt the video 100 times like others did.
I loved it how you listened to it!! And the reaction of your faces were real. Not staged.
Wow, thumbs up!! Great video, loved it.
You Sir is a Real Music Lover!!! A proud new sub
Now you have experienced this, please watch: Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019. It will blow your mind how talented she is.
Epicness right there on that stage 🙏😊👍❤️
Congratulations on the start of your journey down the rabbit hole Nightwish music and live performances. Enjoy!
Amazing Nigthwish ❤❤❤❤❤
To be this on point when this was the 13th song of a 15 song set...amazing! The guitar solo proves that often less is more. And don't get me started on the drumming. As a drummer for 54 years (I'm 61), I cannot tell you how tricky this is. And Flors vocals...what can you say...?
Love the introduction. Nightwish music fullfills my past fantasies and imaginations that i had as a kid playing D&D, Heroes of Might and Magic etc and all those fantasy lord of the rings type movies and books i read.
Awesome that you bring new people to Nightwish.
Welcome to the world of Nightwish, it’s amazing🤘🤘
Not gonna lie, initially I judged you guys by your appearance. I thought that here are some random youtubers again who are reacting to Ghost Love Score just for the views, i.e not for the music itself. But you guys proved me wrong and maybe I learned something about myself also! It's hard to explain, but I can see that you guys have soul and I like the way you think, analyze and approach things, so definitely a new subscriber here!
Great reactions. I'm a 59 year old metalhead and I love it.
Thanks for the reaction, more NW please❤ Greetings from Finland🤘
You need to check out that entire concert, it amazing
Thanks this is an experience
Welcome to Nightwish Indeed, you just got Floored and felt yoyr first Floorgasm :)
Greetings from Bulgaria
You should check out also Nightwish's first singer Tarja! One of my favorite live performances with Nightwish is Phantom of the Opera and if you want to see her solo, check out her Supremacy cover 🔥
Anthony pronounced Floor's name PERFECTLY (better than I do and I'm part Dutch). She is Dutch, band is Finish, the band is mostly symphonic metal.
Great reaction video, guys. Well thought out and articulated by a couple of knowledgeable folks. Hope to see you do some more Nightwish. The Nightwish Army says 'welcome".
And Floor is also married to the drummer in the Swedish band Sabaton ( modern metal bards when it comes to war history ( since you are getting all the nightwish lore i go for the more obscure info connected to nightwish) .. great live ( fun dudes) amazing music videos ( Christmas truth, Bismarck or 1916) .. torching animated versions with a lot of history ( no bullets fly, nightwitches) .. lives are really good ( Gothenburg “ en livstid I krig” English subtitles comes to mind .. and more) .. but when it comes to nightwish .. romanticide and song of myself
This is one of the reasons I have started watching your channel more often and it's because you do on here what most of us do when we experience a new great band we invite our friends in and share it. Keep passing on great music!
Good reaction from you 🤘🇫🇮
Yaaaaay!!! I requested it on last week's live ^^ So happy you check that one!!
Please do more Nightwish loved your reaction
