Hello BRIDGECO ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, 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. As I saw, you liked the powerful performance of the band. Hope you'll continue on this path. 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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) th-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/w-d-xo.html "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) th-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/w-d-xo.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) th-cam.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/w-d-xo.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) th-cam.com/video/S8E3L7ggLMM/w-d-xo.html "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) th-cam.com/video/05eitd-EA6I/w-d-xo.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) th-cam.com/video/OvOD6xecph4/w-d-xo.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) th-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZlY/w-d-xo.html "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) th-cam.com/video/pVPTUEW1PEM/w-d-xo.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) th-cam.com/video/Zo8ncK_5kzc/w-d-xo.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) th-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/w-d-xo.html "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) th-cam.com/video/FrJvKZNEh7g/w-d-xo.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) th-cam.com/video/lTvYfLa4Wlk/w-d-xo.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) th-cam.com/video/wA44tjaP5n0/w-d-xo.html "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) th-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/w-d-xo.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) th-cam.com/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/w-d-xo.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) th-cam.com/video/AN239Pbqbjo/w-d-xo.html "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) th-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/w-d-xo.html And if you want to be surprised by Floor's vocals :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 th-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/w-d-xo.html @Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: th-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/w-d-xo.html Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..) The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer.

@@BRIDGECO1 Can't go wrong with Gabriel's advice. Man, I look forward to seeing y'all go down this rabbit hole. So happy to see others experience the force of nature that is Nightwish. Cheers.
"What did we just watch...?" Every member of the Nightwish Army - from the simplest of conscripts to the Hands of Odin - : "That is our battle hymne. You're wlecome."
Just to get a little ahead , thank you all ❤️ We will definitely be diving into more NW, but just know we’re a little slow, we only sit down once a week to record reactions lol but we’ll be checking over the suggestions closely every week! ❤️
Welcome to NW BRIDGECO, you just met our 6ft Queen Floor Jansen (Dutch) 3rd and current frontwoman of the Finnish Symphonic Metalband NW. She is incredible. 10 Months earlier she came as a substitute for Anette Olzon, who became sick in the middle of a world tour and had to go to the hospital. NW called Floor and she said yes. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary about that) and did this on the flight from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, where she joined the band on their way to Seattle for the next concert. GLS wasn't even on the list, but because she loved this song so much, NW put it on the list. The last part of the song the previous singer(s) didn't do, so she made it her own, with as result 10 months later at Wacken 2013 this MASTERPIECE. When she belt so high, you get shivers or goosebumps, we call that a FLOORGASM. Congrats with your first one. If you want to react to more of them, you can go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for a start. Greetings from the Netherlands South Division and enjoy the ride with us
I was on that concert and I kinda regret I just stood by the side, cause before the start I thought:"Oh I saw them 5years ago at Rock am Ring. I don't need to be in the front". Enchanting is absolutely the right word.
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nighrwish. This is one of the most epic live performances ever. The singer is a Dutch singer/songwriter and vocal coach Floor Jansen (a.k.a. the Valkyrie 😉). The band is from Finland as i am too. Glad you liked and greetings! ⛄👍
Nice reaction. Good that you have discovered the in Europe famous symphonic band Nightwish with the most versatile singer in the world, Floor Jansen. In the USA many people and presenters radio stations live in a "USA bubble" with only music from USA. But ...there is more and better in the world. I hope you will comment on more from Nightwish. You will have a good time. Bye the way...good to see that Nightwish going to become popular in the USA. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Great reaction. Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of almost four octaves (D3-G#5-F6). When listening to her sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres and is a Master vocal coach. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🇺🇸🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.
Nightwish Army Texas reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful rabbit hole of exploring Nightwish and the amazing vocals of Floor Jansen. Heed Gabriel’s knowledge and advice. Hope to see more Nightwish reaction here. Enjoy!
Nightwish Army, Essex, England here. Well done for dipping your toes into the world of Nightwish. You will be inundated with suggestions and help from the NA members. Enjoy! Great reaction!!!
That's not a miniature pipe organ, as cool as that would be. It's just a stage decoration for the keyboard rack. Three Korg synths and the genius who wrote not only this song but the entire set list of songs.
tbf he is the one bringing the Ideas but i'm kinda sure (i don't know for sure though) it's a Band for a reason^^ So what we are listening to is most likely the endproduct of them all =)
And this is Nightwish, Floor can sing whatever she wants to sing because she can do it all and Floor in combination with the band is the perfect match to create pure art that pierced through your hart and soul, enjoy the Nightwish journey
Hello BRIDGECO. Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Hi, greetings from the Netherlands. I remember recommending Nightwish to you a while ago. I didn't get a response, so I forgot about it. So glad you decided to react to them nevertheless! Please keep exploring their music, as they have so much more to offer. See Gabriel Bardac's comment for more info and song suggestions.
We’re very bad with comments, socializing makes me anxious 😂 and very slow with reactions as we only get a couple hours a week but I’m so glad we got to this! Thank you for helping suggest them ❤️
Nightwish Army Denmark here ;) That took you guys long enough to get to this epic band lol :D Time to hit the rabbithole. Clear your calender cause its waaayyy deep ;) Awesome reaction to this masterpiece guys. Loved your facial expressions on this and i probably looked the same first time i watched it lol :D
Okay, Gabriel was first, again! But that's cool! Nightwish Army GERMANY reporting in. You've been challenged to listen to more! I liked your reaction. HE was sooooo baffled, SHE was so captured... loved it! Wanting more! Enjoy your journey, it's just started! A lot of great songs ahead of you! :)
Hi, nice to see you just as mesmerized as i was first time watching Nightwish with Floor Jansen. She is Dutch, from the same aerea where I come from so that makes me even more proud to be Dutch. And Finland is the most happy country in the world. So that`s a golden combination. Enjoy the ride with the Nightwish fans.
Floor Jensen is the singer, our Valkyrie. I see Gabriel Bardoc has been here. Follow him, and all will be well. The Nightwish Army cometh, and that right soon! Enjoy!
Howdy! Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting in. Really brought a smile to my face knowing yall enjoyed as much as you did. Look forward to more content from yall! Have a great week.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish, I hope you enjoy your journey! The musical capabilities of these guys are off the chart. There's nothing Floor can't sing, and when she sings with Marko, well, that's just a match made in heaven 😀❤️
Nightwish is the most amazing rabbit hole in music. Discovering them was a lifechanging experience. I can´t tell you how much they have helped me. My days are now full of appreciation and gratefulness to all that is beautiful in this world, something I found very hard to see for a long time. Enjoy your journey!!
Welcome to the world of Nightwish ❤️ been following your channel for a while now and I have been waiting for this first reaction to NW! Lot of love from the home country of Nightwish: Finland ☺️🤗🇫🇮
Welcome to Nightwish. Great reaction, it showed that you enjoyed this performance.. And.. Don't worry.. There's more. And the best part is.. They will find something to surprise you in almost any song. For a next song I suggest "storytime" live at Wacken or any other song from Gabriel's list, you can't go wrong with them. I hope you will do more of them. Stay safe 🤘😁🤘
"What did we just watch?" A. The greatest live rock performance since Queen at live Aid, this whole concert was at 200 mph, nobody knew it at the time but this was a coming out party for Floor (the lead singer) as she had been asked to join the band full time (being a temporary member from 2012). Buckle up my friends this is one hell of a ride
Greetings, and welcome to Nightwish and symphonic metal. I hear the marching feet of the Nightwish Army!!! The 6 foot, Dutch Goddess of all things vocal is Floor Jansen. She is classically trained and knows more about the anatomy of and how to use the vocal mechanism than any singer you will ever hear. She prides herself a nerd on the topic of breath control in the diaphragm , rib muscles and lungs, to the resonating tone created by the shape of the skull, and absolutely everything in between. She is the 3rd and current singer for the band and was acquired by chance. 2nd singer, Anette Olzon was fired from the band on September 29, 2012 during their Imaginaerum World Tour at which time keyboard player, Tuomas, called Floor and asked if she could fill in for the remainder of the tour. As she agreed, she was also told she had only 48 hours to learn the set list for her debut on October 1st in Seattle, Washington. It is also important to point out that at the time of the call, Floor was recovering from burnout as she was going through a tough time with her band ReVamp. Floor was made a permanent member along with multi instrumentalist Troy Donockley (UK) in June 2013. Up until 2015, when Nightwish recorded their first official studio album with Floor, none of the songs she performed were written or recorded in the studio with her as the singer. Bass/vocals- Marko Guitar- Emppu Drums- Jukka You are going to love this journey. The rabbit hole goes deep, so buckle up and enjoy the ride. And now.... I think it's time for a little story. It's definitely "Storytime". th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe, stay blessed and welcome to the world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. 😊❤️🤘🤘
Been following you guys for a while now, was waiting for this one! Love it how you guys got sucked in, got quiet and just enjoyed the ride. I say welcome to Nightwish, strap yourself a in, its gonna be a great ride
hello again, i was one of the people suggesting this to you, i guess it was on a Lorna Shore video :) Your facial expressions tell me that I was right great reaction, hope of many more to come ! =) Stay LIVE with Nightwish, pick your choices from Gabriel Bardac´s list (this links are proofed of beeing in right speed and pitch!) have fun ! I suggest "Storytime" and "Romanticide" next
Great reaction guys . You will never be disappointed in listening to Nightwish. Listen and follow Gabriel's instructions he is the grand master of the Nightwish Army......💙❤🏴🇬🇧
NW Army UK reporting in. Welcome to Nightwish BRIDGECO and thanks for the upload, I enjoyed that. You look as though you are gonna have such a great time with this band, you are gonna love it. I'm subbed for the ride-along. Gabriels list is a great introduction to NW and their catalogue, enjoy (I know I will) Have a great evening.
I see Gabriel was here. Night wish army is strong. And if you follow his suggestions you will see every song different and so many surprises. This is a such an amazing band.
Hey you two! Nightwish Iowa here, and I'm glad you found Nightwish! I've watched some of your other reactions before this one, and again, can't say how glad I am to see that you've found them 💛 . This song brings me to tears each time, and this was no different - just purely amazing.
Nightwish Army, Pennsylvania Division reporting in!! Sorry I'm a day late. Enjoy this journey! Subbed! Also, the look on your faces when Floor came out and hit her first few notes was PRICELESS!
Greatest Show on Earth is another amazing experience from Nightwish. Would highly recommend the live version of that! Also, shout out to Repo! The Genectic Opera! Love that film
for a song 14 songs in to the set I think they knocked this one out of the park! This whole concert recording is incredible you can feel the energy and to have been lucky enough to have been there would have been amazing :D All their songs are different and there is a Nightwish song for every mood. For a band that has been around for 25 years there are an awful lot of people just discovering them through youtube...enjoy your journey!
Short and sweet: For me, this is one of, or maybe even the best live performances ever! The journeys this band takes you on are simply incredible. _____________________ 【 Our rock never dies ever. Forever! 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊
Private Marshall Nightwish Army reporting for duty. Glad you enjoyed it Bridgeco. There is so much more. This entire concert can be reacted to from the beginning, one song at a time. There are no bad songs and each one you hear will become your new favorite. That might sound ridiculous but we have seen it over and over again. This is a live band. This is a rarity that the live music is better than the engineered versions. Stick with live. I see General Gabriel has arrived to give you a road map and a history to help you on this most magical of journeys. A few of my suggestions outside of this concert venue, Yours is an empty Hope, Wembley. (The cruise ship video is not as good) How's the heart, Planet Rock Acoustic version and I want my tears back, Buenos Aires Argentina. Loved your comments and Audio/visual presentation. Hold on tight and welcome to the world of Nightwish.
"Do these people score movies?" Weeeell... kinda-sorta. Tuomas Holopainen, the band's keyboardist/composer of 95+% of their music co-adapted the album that Nightwish was touring to support here ("Imaginaerum") into an honest to goodness low budget dark fantasy film of the same name. He also did a solo album that was a sort of "score" to a graphic novel. Oh, and he's a BIG Disney fan! :D
Nightwish army Belgium reporting in. Welcome to our world and our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. Looking forward to more reacts. Follow our general Gabriël's list and you will find the pathway into our world.
Nightwish is symphonic metal. Part film score, part rock opera. Every Nightwish song is unique, but easily recognizable as Nightwish. Their song catelogue is DEEP. And Floor Jansen is a goddess.
Nightwish Army, UK division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.
Welcome Bridgeco into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish. You just heard Floor Jansen (pronounce Yahn-Sen). Although this band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist isn’t, she is Dutch. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career as (initially) just as background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997 but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer. Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: th-cam.com/video/6qDrKoZ62wQ/w-d-xo.html the evolution of Ghost Love Score. Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label.

Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division welcomes you to the amazing world of Nightwish with the Queen Floor Jansen. The Nightwish General Gabriel Bardac will be along with band info & links to begin your fantastic journey down this rabbit hole . PS I could tell you both had a FLOORGASM. The next song that I think will blow your socks off is "Storytime" from the same show Wacken Open Air Metal Festival where on this night they were the headliner with 82,000 people and Floor had only joined the band 10 months before and most people there this was there 1st time hearing Floor & she blew the crowds minds from start to finish . Here's the link - th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html
Hello friends. Welcome to the Nightwish family. There’s nothing better than watch others enjoy this awesome band. Having said that, I have subscribed and hope that you both will embark in this journey called Nightwish and our Queen Floor. Greetings from Alabama 😎
If you follow the "road map" Gabriel gave you you'll have a safe and pleasant journey, it's been tried and tested. When this was recorded Floor had been the replacement singer of Nightwish för just about 10 months. She did her first show in Seattle Wa on Oct 1st 2012 after the band fired Anette, their second singer. This was recorded Aug.3rd 2013. This song wasn't on the set list for the tour originally since Anette didn't have the vocal ability to perform it. But Floor had heard the song when her first band After Forever" toured with Nightwish when Tarja, their first singer, was still in the band, and she loved it. So Floor asked Tuomas (the guy behind the keyboards) if they could make it a part of the set list. And they did, it was song number 13 of a 15 song set. There's som minor variations in the backing between Floors and Tarjas version, mainly that the choir have been reduced in volume. There's a video on youtube from, I think, Argentina, recorded Dec15th 2012. And there's one of Tarja doing it too. If you want to know more about how Floor got in to the band I can recommend a documentary, also here on TH-cam called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours"
Nightwish Army, New Zealand Division reporting. Thanks for your reaction to the most epic rock song ever! Hope you enjoyed the vocal skills of our valkyrie goddess queen, Floor; and the amazing music composing of Tuomas!
Congratulations to both Tarja and Anneta on the performance of this song. Each of them performed this song in their own special way and it sounds great, but hand on heart, watching the performances of Ghost Love Score, I have the impression that Tuomas was waiting for someone to elevate this song to where it belongs. It was Wacken 2013 and Floor Jansen together with the whole band and this unique atmosphere that put this song at the very top and hardly anyone will ever take them off it. This performance is a masterpiece and will occupy the very top for a long time to come. Hardly anyone will soon perform something like Ghost Love Score, Wacken air open 2013
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player is in my opinion a modern day Mozart...I mean that literally. He is just so talented at composing the best music!
Hello BRIDGECO ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, 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.
As I saw, you liked the powerful performance of the band. Hope you'll continue on this path.
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, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as 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 - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: th-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/w-d-xo.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

You opened the door to the world of Nightwish. Step in and explore more of them. Be surprised and enjoy your journey with amazing music.
Great Reaction Greez from Finland the land of Nightwish. Nightwish Army incoming 💪👌😆
Welcome to NW BRIDGECO, you just met our 6ft Queen Floor Jansen (Dutch) 3rd and current frontwoman of the Finnish Symphonic Metalband NW. She is incredible. 10 Months earlier she came as a substitute for Anette Olzon, who became sick in the middle of a world tour and had to go to the hospital. NW called Floor and she said yes. She had to learn the setlist in 48 hours (there is a documentary about that) and did this on the flight from the Netherlands to Salt Lake City, where she joined the band on their way to Seattle for the next concert. GLS wasn't even on the list, but because she loved this song so much, NW put it on the list. The last part of the song the previous singer(s) didn't do, so she made it her own, with as result 10 months later at Wacken 2013 this MASTERPIECE. When she belt so high, you get shivers or goosebumps, we call that a FLOORGASM. Congrats with your first one. If you want to react to more of them, you can go with the links Gabriel Bardac gave you for a start. Greetings from the Netherlands South Division and enjoy the ride with us
Nightwish Army UK division reporting in - great reaction guys - welcome to the rabbit hole that is Nightwish :)
I was on that concert and I kinda regret I just stood by the side, cause before the start I thought:"Oh I saw them 5years ago at Rock am Ring. I don't need to be in the front".
Enchanting is absolutely the right word.
Welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and Nighrwish. This is one of the most epic live performances ever. The singer is a Dutch singer/songwriter and vocal coach Floor Jansen (a.k.a. the Valkyrie 😉). The band is from Finland as i am too. Glad you liked and greetings! ⛄👍
Welcome from UK to the best ever band Nightwish. Start your journey 😀
Nice reaction. Good that you have discovered the in Europe famous symphonic band Nightwish with the most versatile singer in the world, Floor Jansen. In the USA many people and presenters radio stations live in a "USA bubble" with only music from USA. But ...there is more and better in the world. I hope you will comment on more from Nightwish. You will have a good time. Bye the way...good to see that Nightwish going to become popular in the USA. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Nightwish army Netherlands reporting and joining. Please continue reacting to NW. they are simply the best
Great reaction.
Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of almost four octaves (D3-G#5-F6). When listening to her sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres and is a Master vocal coach. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🇺🇸🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.

Nightwish Army, Essex, England here. Well done for dipping your toes into the world of Nightwish. You will be inundated with suggestions and help from the NA members. Enjoy!
Great reaction!!!
That's not a miniature pipe organ, as cool as that would be. It's just a stage decoration for the keyboard rack. Three Korg synths and the genius who wrote not only this song but the entire set list of songs.
I saw one video where he had fire coming out of them. Don't recall which one. Maybe someone remembers?
It's fashioned after the Sibelius Monument
@@danwhitehousepc I think it's somewhere in the .......48 hours doc, Though I realize that isn't much help.
tbf he is the one bringing the Ideas but i'm kinda sure (i don't know for sure though) it's a Band for a reason^^ So what we are listening to is most likely the endproduct of them all =)
@@onearthonelegion That's good to know. It's one of the first things new listeners ask about, as you no doubt know.
And this is Nightwish, Floor can sing whatever she wants to sing because she can do it all and Floor in combination with the band is the perfect match to create pure art that pierced through your hart and soul, enjoy the Nightwish journey
You just met the Queen. Welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal.
Hello BRIDGECO.
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.

What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Hi, greetings from the Netherlands. I remember recommending Nightwish to you a while ago. I didn't get a response, so I forgot about it. So glad you decided to react to them nevertheless! Please keep exploring their music, as they have so much more to offer. See Gabriel Bardac's comment for more info and song suggestions.
We’re very bad with comments, socializing makes me anxious 😂 and very slow with reactions as we only get a couple hours a week but I’m so glad we got to this! Thank you for helping suggest them ❤️

Hi, nice to see you just as mesmerized as i was first time watching Nightwish with Floor Jansen. She is Dutch, from the same aerea where I come from so that makes me even more proud to be Dutch. And Finland is the most happy country in the world. So that`s a golden combination. Enjoy the ride with the Nightwish fans.
Hello from the UK. What a cool reaction. Keep the Nightwish reaction coming, they will blow your mind.
Always great to see newbies reacting to our goddess. Nightwish Army, New Zealand.
Floor Jensen is the singer, our Valkyrie. I see Gabriel Bardoc has been here. Follow him, and all will be well. The Nightwish Army cometh, and that right soon! Enjoy!
You write the name and we appear. Nightwish Army, USA Division, Pennsylvania Regiment, Lake Erie Battalion reporting.

Welcome to the wonderful world of symphnic metal and NIGHTWISH.
And our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen.
Nightwish is the most amazing rabbit hole in music. Discovering them was a lifechanging experience. I can´t tell you how much they have helped me. My days are now full of appreciation and gratefulness to all that is beautiful in this world, something I found very hard to see for a long time. Enjoy your journey!!
Cool to see how Nightwish hits on you guys after all these years 🤟😎
Cheers from Finland, the Mother Land of Nightwish 😈

Welcome to the world of Nightwish ❤️ been following your channel for a while now and I have been waiting for this first reaction to NW! Lot of love from the home country of Nightwish: Finland ☺️🤗🇫🇮
Welcome to Nightwish. Great reaction, it showed that you enjoyed this performance.. And.. Don't worry.. There's more. And the best part is.. They will find something to surprise you in almost any song. For a next song I suggest "storytime" live at Wacken or any other song from Gabriel's list, you can't go wrong with them. I hope you will do more of them. Stay safe 🤘😁🤘
NIGHTWISH ARMY COSTA RICA DIVISION IS THE 🤘💀🇨🇷 GOOD ONE GUYS WELCOME TO THE BEST OF THE BEST OUR VALKIRIE GODDESS FLOOR JANSEN ❤

Welcome! Nightwish Army is present. Hope you'll doing some more Nightwish....stay safe!
They are def one of my favorite groups...
"What did we just watch?"
A. The greatest live rock performance since Queen at live Aid, this whole concert was at 200 mph, nobody knew it at the time but this was a coming out party for Floor (the lead singer) as she had been asked to join the band full time (being a temporary member from 2012).
Buckle up my friends this is one hell of a ride
You guys are so fun to watch! Nightwish are incridable please keep following them. Each song is different from the next.
Greetings, and welcome to Nightwish and symphonic metal.
I hear the marching feet of the Nightwish Army!!!
The 6 foot, Dutch Goddess of all things vocal is Floor Jansen. She is classically trained and knows more about the anatomy of and how to use the vocal mechanism than any singer you will ever hear.
She prides herself a nerd on the topic of breath control in the diaphragm , rib muscles and lungs, to the resonating tone created by the shape of the skull, and absolutely everything in between.
She is the 3rd and current singer for the band and was acquired by chance.
2nd singer, Anette Olzon was fired from the band on September 29, 2012 during their Imaginaerum World Tour at which time keyboard player, Tuomas, called Floor and asked if she could fill in for the remainder of the tour.
As she agreed, she was also told she had only 48 hours to learn the set list for her debut on October 1st in Seattle, Washington.
It is also important to point out that at the time of the call, Floor was recovering from burnout as she was going through a tough time with her band ReVamp.
Floor was made a permanent member along with multi instrumentalist Troy Donockley (UK) in June 2013.
Up until 2015, when Nightwish recorded their first official studio album with Floor, none of the songs she performed were written or recorded in the studio with her as the singer.
Bass/vocals- Marko
Guitar- Emppu
Drums- Jukka
You are going to love this journey. The rabbit hole goes deep, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.
And now....
I think it's time for a little story.
It's definitely "Storytime".

Loved your reaction. Everytime I see reactors like you meeting Nightwish and Floor Jansen it’s like X-mas and gift 🎁 hand outs
Hi Guys from the UK. Your looks of astonishment said it all. Welcome to Nightwish! Stay safe.
NW Army UK reporting in. Welcome to Nightwish BRIDGECO and thanks for the upload, I enjoyed that. You look as though you are gonna have such a great time with this band, you are gonna love it. I'm subbed for the ride-along. Gabriels list is a great introduction to NW and their catalogue, enjoy (I know I will) Have a great evening.
Loved the reaction, thank you! You might like Nightwish's "Seven days to the Wolves". Keep up good work!
I see Gabriel was here. Night wish army is strong. And if you follow his suggestions you will see every song different and so many surprises. This is a such an amazing band.
Hey you two! Nightwish Iowa here, and I'm glad you found Nightwish! I've watched some of your other reactions before this one, and again, can't say how glad I am to see that you've found them 💛 . This song brings me to tears each time, and this was no different - just purely amazing.
Nightwish Army, Pennsylvania Division reporting in!! Sorry I'm a day late. Enjoy this journey! Subbed! Also, the look on your faces when Floor came out and hit her first few notes was PRICELESS!
Greatest Show on Earth is another amazing experience from Nightwish. Would highly recommend the live version of that!
Also, shout out to Repo! The Genectic Opera! Love that film
for a song 14 songs in to the set I think they knocked this one out of the park! This whole concert recording is incredible you can feel the energy and to have been lucky enough to have been there would have been amazing :D All their songs are different and there is a Nightwish song for every mood. For a band that has been around for 25 years there are an awful lot of people just discovering them through youtube...enjoy your journey!
Short and sweet: For me, this is one of, or maybe even the best live performances ever!
The journeys this band takes you on are simply incredible.

Private Marshall Nightwish Army reporting for duty. Glad you enjoyed it Bridgeco. There is so much more. This entire concert can be reacted to from the beginning, one song at a time. There are no bad songs and each one you hear will become your new favorite. That might sound ridiculous but we have seen it over and over again. This is a live band. This is a rarity that the live music is better than the engineered versions. Stick with live.
I see General Gabriel has arrived to give you a road map and a history to help you on this most magical of journeys. A few of my suggestions outside of this concert venue, Yours is an empty Hope, Wembley. (The cruise ship video is not as good) How's the heart, Planet Rock Acoustic version and I want my tears back, Buenos Aires Argentina.
Loved your comments and Audio/visual presentation. Hold on tight and welcome to the world of Nightwish.
"Do these people score movies?" Weeeell... kinda-sorta. Tuomas Holopainen, the band's keyboardist/composer of 95+% of their music co-adapted the album that Nightwish was touring to support here ("Imaginaerum") into an honest to goodness low budget dark fantasy film of the same name. He also did a solo album that was a sort of "score" to a graphic novel. Oh, and he's a BIG Disney fan! :D
Nightwish army Belgium reporting in. Welcome to our world and our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. Looking forward to more reacts. Follow our general Gabriël's list and you will find the pathway into our world.
Nightwish is symphonic metal. Part film score, part rock opera. Every Nightwish song is unique, but easily recognizable as Nightwish. Their song catelogue is DEEP. And Floor Jansen is a goddess.
Another two souls snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess
Nightwish Army, UK division here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish I see Gabriel has made contact. I recommend you follow his lead as you won't go wrong. In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, which is, Nightwish.
Again a great reaction from you guys. The joy on your faces was priceless to watch👍
Welcome Bridgeco into the wonderful world of storytelling by Nightwish. You just heard Floor Jansen (pronounce Yahn-Sen). Although this band is Finnish their 3rd female vocalist isn’t, she is Dutch. Floor was born on Februari 21st, 1981 in Goirle the Netherlands. At the age of 16 she started her career as (initially) just as background singer from the Dutch metal band ‘After Forever’ in 1997 but real soon she took over the lead until early 2009 and the band fell apart. Parallel she studied at the Dutch Rock Academy in Tilburg starting in 1999 where she graduated in 2003 and spent two years on classical training with the National Conservatory. She studied Musical Theatre and one year Opera. She plays guitar, piano and flute and has completed 12 years of music studies. She’s a Light Lyric Soprano and her vocalrange runs from E3 to D6. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons.
On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ‘ReVamp’, which was disbanded in September 2016. In August 2010 Jansen was a guest in the TV program De tiende van Tijl. In that program she sang an aria by Puccini. From October 1, 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as the singer of Nightwish halfway their Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she was to become the group's regular new front singer.
Is this real live? If you’ll have any doubts watch this: th-cam.com/video/6qDrKoZ62wQ/w-d-xo.html the evolution of Ghost Love Score.
Nightwish, After Forever and ReVamp worked under the same Nuclear Blast record label.

Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division welcomes you to the amazing world of Nightwish with the Queen Floor Jansen. The Nightwish General Gabriel Bardac will be along with band info & links to begin your fantastic journey down this rabbit hole . PS I could tell you both had a FLOORGASM. The next song that I think will blow your socks off is "Storytime" from the same show Wacken Open Air Metal Festival where on this night they were the headliner with 82,000 people and Floor had only joined the band 10 months before and most people there this was there 1st time hearing Floor & she blew the crowds minds from start to finish . Here's the link - th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html

Hello friends. Welcome to the Nightwish family. There’s nothing better than watch others enjoy this awesome band. Having said that, I have subscribed and hope that you both will embark in this journey called Nightwish and our Queen Floor. Greetings from Alabama 😎
Welcome on board! Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
If you follow the "road map" Gabriel gave you you'll have a safe and pleasant journey, it's been tried and tested.
When this was recorded Floor had been the replacement singer of Nightwish för just about 10 months. She did her first show in Seattle Wa on Oct 1st 2012 after the band fired Anette, their second singer. This was recorded Aug.3rd 2013.
This song wasn't on the set list for the tour originally since Anette didn't have the vocal ability to perform it. But Floor had heard the song when her first band After Forever" toured with Nightwish when Tarja, their first singer, was still in the band, and she loved it. So Floor asked Tuomas (the guy behind the keyboards) if they could make it a part of the set list. And they did, it was song number 13 of a 15 song set. There's som minor variations in the backing between Floors and Tarjas version, mainly that the choir have been reduced in volume. There's a video on youtube from, I think, Argentina, recorded Dec15th 2012. And there's one of Tarja doing it too. If you want to know more about how Floor got in to the band I can recommend a documentary, also here on TH-cam called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours"
I juat started watching your GOT reactions. I'm not sure how I missed your Nightwish reactions. ❤
Thank you for giving a chance for NW :) Feel free to enjoy more songs, there is alot to experience!
I'm subbing for more Nightwish. Trust me, now you've started....you won't stop.
Thank you for the wonderful reaction. I hope you will continue on this path in the future.
1:56 es el momento exacto dónde Floor atrapa nuestras almas para siempre.
Al menos, muchos de nosotros la conocimos con esta obra maestra jaja
Nightwish Army, New Zealand Division reporting. Thanks for your reaction to the most epic rock song ever! Hope you enjoyed the vocal skills of our valkyrie goddess queen, Floor; and the amazing music composing of Tuomas!
You've succesfully entered the Nightwish rabbit hole. Enjoy the ride!
You have an amazing journey ahead of you with this incredible band and I've sub'd in the hope that you will take the ride 🤘
very cool reaction,
greetings from the Nightwish Army from Germany 😃
Congratulations to both Tarja and Anneta on the performance of this song. Each of them performed this song in their own special way and it sounds great, but hand on heart, watching the performances of Ghost Love Score, I have the impression that Tuomas was waiting for someone to elevate this song to where it belongs. It was Wacken 2013 and Floor Jansen together with the whole band and this unique atmosphere that put this song at the very top and hardly anyone will ever take them off it. This performance is a masterpiece and will occupy the very top for a long time to come. Hardly anyone will soon perform something like Ghost Love Score, Wacken air open 2013
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player is in my opinion a modern day Mozart...I mean that literally. He is just so talented at composing the best music!
