The opening song of that show was Shudder Before The Beautiful btw, if you want to check that one out as well :-)
I love Shudder before the beautiful both from Wembley and Tampere. It such an epic opening song imo.
im a simple man i see nightwish i click, i like and i suscribe.
Check "The Greatest Show on Earth " live at Tampere, is really awesome.
and of course the growls were all done by Floor. For some more clean vocal duets.... try and i would say .... try "Devil and the deep dark ocean" Buenos Aires live, or "7 to the wolves" Tampere live
A very good reaction. The lyrics break down was interesting. Tuomas's lyrics are quite poetic. He uses a lot of metaphors and words that are probably in a dictionary but have not been used in years and years. A lot of the songs he writes are based on what he has experienced in his personal life.
I am sorry that you are getting bullied by some over zealous fans. I feel bad when this happens. Take care and stay safe.
@@BradAlenaMetalReactions I am glad. Sometimes people can get petty about things. :-)
@@BradAlenaMetalReactions That is great since they consider me the general or Nightwish Mama. So i just want to make sure. Thank you. Stay safe.
@@fdsannie All hail Ann, the General!
@@cornflowerofsweden1288 You are the greatest. Please stay safe my friend. :-)
@@fdsannie I took another route. I'm trying to infuence people all over. I can't "beat" you with reactions. So why not try? Sure, same thinking, but I've been spread the word all over. You are the one....but I can't compete. Though I've given advice to some new ones. Hopefully this pleases you, madam. Sure I'll still pop on by, but... you are so dedicatetd so... can't keep up. So all hail Ann! :) Take care. We'll see you in reactions still, not ... you aren't getting a rid of me (I try too still convert newer ones=.
Shudder before the beautiful wembley,awesome thanks 😊
Wow, I'm seriously impressed by Alena to pick all of that from one listening! This song definitely has a statement against institutional religion (or any other belief system, be it political or religious that is there to control the people) and ties in with the song Weak Fantasy from the same album Endless Forms Most Beautiful. Tuomas (who writes and composes almost all of Nightwish songs) is known to be very interested in science, biology and evolution and thus has a bone to pick with institutions that oppress science and freedom with their beliefs. The whole album (Endless Forms Most Beautiful) is basically a love letter to science and evolution, nature and the wonders of the world. And institutional religion is one of the juxtapositions that causes people to look past these things and live a life rooted in false premises. They are throwing their life away for an empty hope of an afterlife (or just a promise of future) where everything will be better - missing the fact that the actual moment they are living is full of wonder and beauty. You can find this theme reappearing continuously on Nightwish records ever since their very first album "Angels Fall First" back in 1997. Angels, devils, demons and religious mythology are a big part of the Nightwish lore.
And just to clarify, I don't believe Tuomas has anything against spirituality or personal beliefs regarding religion. The argument he builds up in these songs (especially in Weak Fantasy) are against institutional religions that control the masses with a premise of afterlife and force people to obey with fear, guilt, punishments and thoughts of sin, which leads to a lot of chaos and oppression in the World.
You can catch this theme more easily in the lyrics if you listen to the whole album in order (and especially if you are already familiar with Nightwish albums), but to catch it from listening to this song once and just reading the lyrics is very impressive to me.
Romanticide live in Wacken 2013! That’s a heavy one that you’ll love.
You're getting a well-rounded tour with these song selections. For something folky, I Want My Tears Back, and something deep and meaningful, Dead Boy's Poem, both from Buenos Aires 2018. There's still the remaining two epics from the trilogy, but probably not yet.
Nice reaction, as always.
for I Want my Tears Back i'd suggest the Wacken 2013 version
@@VolMacros I like the Buenos Aires version better myself.
Great reaction guys! Can't go wrong with the live versions, especially with Floor. Check out "Romanticide" from Wacken and "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" in Buenos Aires to continue on with their heavier side.
The most popular Nightwish song reaction is " "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken 2013. You must react to it to see how great Nightwish is
Ever Dream, Storytime, Ghost love score and I want my tears back from Wacken 13 and Shudder before the beutiful from Wembley Arena or Tampere is all good ones to check out. After that ofc Poet and the pendulum from Wembley Arena and Greatest show on earth from Tampere.
Great reaction once again 😊 thank guys 🤘🏼🙏🏻 Nightwish is a lifetime journey, enjoy the ride ❤️
Apologies for stating the obvious, but Wembley Arena isn't the same as Wembley Stadium. Wembley Arena is about 12,500 according to ye olde Google search. The Wacken show from 2013 was in front of roughly 82,000 people, but I would never say Nightwish 100% drew that crowd. Wacken is the biggest metal festival in the world. Nighwish WAS the headline act that evening, however, so that certainly speaks for them. Whatever the reason those people attended Wacken in 2013, they saw one of the best shows of all time, I'll for sure say that. Good job guys. :-)
Woodstock Festival in Poland would like to know your adress in terms of being the biggest. ;)
@@Killerpixel11 As would the Download Festival and Gastonbury 110,000 and 120,00 respectively. At a mere 12,500 Wembley arena is small-ish but good fun to be at. Those flame throwers they use a damn hot even when your standing just in front of the mixing desk about 50 meters from the stage. You could still feel the heat from them.
Great reaction! I appreciate Alena's honesty about what she likes or not. So, here's something I think she will like:
Stargazers from Tampere 2015 (here you can hear Floor's more operatic register in this fast-paced guitarheavy song): th-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/w-d-xo.html
Sleeping Sun from Tampere 2015 (slow ballad by Floor, so amazingly good) th-cam.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/w-d-xo.html
If you want something a little more relaxed and shows Marco's singing abilities, check out their live cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes".
This!
💯🤘🤘 Also The Islander live from Tampere!!! 😉
Hello guys. New fan of your channel! Thanks so much for the Nightwish reactions. May I suggest a few more great songs from the ¨Wacken¨ concert. Storytime and Romanticide!
I always think the best order to listen to their songs is actually the order they are performed in the live concerts, rather than jumping round to various peoples favourites.
For Marco at the top of his range, you must see "The Phantom of the Opera" live with their old singer Tarja (Tarya). They both hit the top of their range and it's mind-blowing!!!
The video is titled "Nightwish "The Phantom Of The Opera" with lyrics" with 68 million views. It was Tarja's final show with the band. You may get goosebumps.
Did you say your not going to skip any songs? Im so there!!
Hey again from L.A. California! It is really a head scratching moment when all of sudden you go.."wait, who's growling?" But it's a cool song definitely! I've already suggested "Shudder before the beautiful" live@Wembley but truly you both need to experience, and it is an experience, "Ghost Love Score". It is a ten minute masterpiece. And they started the show with "Shudder Before the Beautiful" this one is the 2nd song of the show. Anyway, those are my 2 suggestions, much love 🙌
The concert didn't start off with this song but with "Shudder Before the Beautiful", a song I absolutely love and that you should react to to some point. Yours is an Empty Hope was the second one
Just found your channel, I really enjoy both of your reactions. Keep doing nightwish your channel will grow
Heyyyyy, you guyyyys! Great reaction again. But you REALLY wanna hear Floor growl? Do yourself a favor and check out her other band REVAMP and a song called "Disdain" at Graspop. Our Goddess Floor REALLY growls! And she's Blonde! PS: That was Wembley Arena not Wembley Stadium. Peace always.
And she drops an F-bomb lol.
@@timpwhit Oh, fuck! Yeah, that too!
I like ladies who swear occasionally.
@@crusaderofrock Oh, hell yeah! Especially a lady like Floor, am I right?
So just because this matters to the Nightwish Army, the personnel of this outfit is as follows.
Present
Floor Jansen (Holland) - vocals and a keen headbanger. AKA Metal Goddess, Metal Amazon
Marko Hietala (Finland) - bass guitar, vocals and long ass beard grower
Emppu Vuorinen (Finland) - guitar. Low in stature, huge stage presence
Troy Donockley (England) - tin whistle, Uilleann pipes, various other instruments, vocals - the multitool of Nightwish
Kai Hahto (Finland) - Drums and rhythm machinist
And the master himself:
Tuomas Holopainen (Finland) - keys / synth and the main composer of all that is Nightwish - both musical and lyrical.
Past members
Tarja Turunen (Finland) - first lead vocalist with the operatic voice long jet black hair 1996 - 2005
Anette Olzon (Sweden) - second lead vocalist with a more poppish voice 2007 - 2012
Jukka Nevalainen (Finland) - drummer and pirate 1997 - 2014. Now the manager of the band and the awesome drummer at the legendary Wacken 2013 performance.
Sami Vänskä (Finland) - Bass guitar 1998-2001. I have never seen him perform with Nightwish.
OMG! I have forgot how good this is. Thank you very much😁.
FLOOR IS A *QuintEssentia* !! of Metal !!
Thanks again for a brilliant reaction. You make the lyrics very interesting.
And just do the random choices, it is you journey. Looking forward to next :)
The reason some might say its random, is that the first song often is "Ghost Love Score" from Wacken 2013, and they get hooked. :) But you got hooked on other songs. But you have to check that out of course.
Thank you Brad and Alena for the Nightwish reactions that you have been doing. I guess I would consider myself a member of the "Nightwish Army" as I do find myself quite often searching through TH-cam for new Nightwish reactions. Hence how I found your channel. I would like to make a few requests / recommendations for future Nightwish reactions. In my very humble opinion these songs are all rights of passage for any new Nightwish fan:
#1. NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) - Will blow your minds due to Floor's vocal ability!
th-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/w-d-xo.html
#2. Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum (Live Wembley Arena 2015~Vehicle Of Spirit)
th-cam.com/video/qUAoCc9mYFA/w-d-xo.html
#3. Nightwish live @ tampere The Greatest Show On Earth
th-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/w-d-xo.html
You may have already read this somewhere but the keyboardist (Tuomas Holopainen) is the main composer for the majority of Nightwish's songs. If I understand correctly most of the songs he writes come from his heart and his own life experiences. Some of the songs can be pretty dark at times but I believe by him putting his feelings into songs as he does helps him to make sense of the things he has to deal with in his personal life. I can see that certain songs are very close to his heart as when the band is performing them you can see the emotion on Tuomas's face as he mouths the words along with floor.
So, again thank you very much for doing the Nightwish reactions that you have done. I look forward to seeing more :)
And welcome to the Nightwish Army!
Gord
No problem 😀 You wont see it in every song but occasionally you will see him mouthing the words. Sometime he does so with his eyes closed while playing the keyboards! My own personal opinion is that every member of the band is an expert on their chosen instrument. Floor's being her voice. In the video for "The Greatest Show on Earth" you will see Troy, a "Multi-Instrumentalist" and the latest addition to the band. A very talented musician and singer. The different pipes and such that he plays add a sort of Celtic feel to some songs.
Yes Bradley, Alena did it again! 🙃👍🏻
As soon as I see innocents reacting to this song I have to watch! :)
They should use this song as opening for their concerts, it has a "Dark chest of wonders" vibe
Still remember the moment that Tuomas said Nightwish will not have growls/grunts in the songs, Floor: yeah right
Slaying the dreamer live in Buenos Aires \m/
We’re missing your reaction to “Ghost Love Score” this is a must! Live at Wacken 2013 Great Reaction over all. Thank you 🙏
Reliving my journey, while enjoying your's :) To me the "screen name verbal vanity" bit seems to indicate a social media angle for the negative words being thrown about, leading to a response of "Turn from the hate, turn from the smoke..."
you have a good vision , different performances and songs give you idea in what floor is able to do , dont forget the performances of floor in the show BEST ZANGERS , you will be surprised how good she is even outside the band
Wembley Arena is much smaller than Wembley Stadium - I learned this the hard way driving to a The Who concert from my job in Germany (ferry) and looking for scalper tickets in an empty parking lot upon arrival 😳🙄 Thankfully a very nice British fellow drove by and over to me, clarified and laughed, then gave me a lift where I got an 8th row seat for what I had thought might be there last concert at that time (definitely was not...). Was a superb venue to watch the show in and my 4th time that tour seeing them (Boston and Raleigh before going to work in Germany) as a model of comparison.
I was too tired to panic -- had come across from Berchtesgaden Germany driving on sunflower seeds and Mountain Dew (was working for the military so PX priviledges), catnapped on the Ferry, and had arrived VERY early to try to find the best tickets I could. Got a ridiculously great deal on the 8th row one I acquired......
It does get crazier... left my car in Calais France and on the way home a ferry strike started. Got re-routed to Boulogne as Calais was shut down. 19 years old and trying to find a way to my car.... memorable. Found a bus eventually and made it back.
Thank you for reacting to Nightwish 💕💕💕 Floor Growls alsoo happen with her old band Revamp : Im rhe songDisdain live at Graspop and the song Wild Card 🐱👤🌹👍 Good Growling alsoo ocurs with the Swedish Melodic Power Metal band Arch Enemy. 🐱👤🐱👤🐱👤
"Shudder Before the Beautiful" a bit in between.. Again live @ Wembley..
Hi Bradley and Alena, just a quick question for Bradley from Sunny (wintery) South Africa, do you come from our beautiful country?
I just recently found Nightwish, and I think they are awesome. I am not a spring chicken anymore but this music is amazing.
if you want listen to floor singing in a more classic way, you can watch her sing "the phantom of the opera" in the Dutch tv show beste zangers th-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/w-d-xo.html
Tuomas was asked about the meaning of this song, but he wouldn’t say. It could be about hate mail directed to him or the band and his response in the song is, “Get over it, move on with your life”. A sticks-and-stones response. Great commentary. I enjoy the back and forth. 😄🤘
Great Video! I‘d like to recommend Iced Earth - Dante‘s Inferno Alive in Athens (1999). It‘s a milestone as far as live performances are concerned. Stay save and take care.
Have you done "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013.. This is not the song they opened up this show with.. They started this show with "Shutter before the Beautiful>
Please react to Trees of Eternity either Sinking Ships official video, or Broken Mirror and Eye of Night lyrics videos. Beautiful, dark, intense, tragic, and tearful one of a kind album Hour of the Nightingale. Hard to believe Aleah left us 4 years ago. RIP angel.
🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 Oh Yeah!!!!! 😁🤘🤘
Actually I believe Shudder Before the Beautiful was the Opener if memory serves. Also worth a look!!! 😉🤘🤘
Endless Forms Most Beautiful is a concept album that celebrates Evolution and the beauty around us, touts a bit of Atheist views and most definitely rails at times at organized religion and the Dogma of it that can poison people to the point of losing all reasonable thoughts.
Ladies, if you want a primal reaction from your man, learn how to do a growl like this and unleash it some romantic night's evening. Love your reactions! TC and be well.
She will love the song Stargazer or Shoemaker
@@BradAlenaMetalReactions Did i miss it or am i getting old and forgot? :) Gonna check
@@BradAlenaMetalReactions stargazers live at wacken
also nice!!
I don't want to be repetitive but Ghost Love Score is always a must reaction for Nightwish... I think Alena will probably enjoy it more. But for heavier stuff, Romanticide is a favorite too.
Алёна,я тебя узнал,ты русская))) Серьёзно ,очень рад ,что тебе понравилось,если это конечно правда)
This is Wembley Arena not Stadium .. probably 10K or so
They Start the Show with Shudder Before The Beautiful.. This was the 2nd.
React to Nightwish- weak fantasy live
Stick with the random it is more fun that way. There is no set reaction list that you need to follow! I would continue with live though unless it is one of the few that dont have live.
oh god i love you !!! you found the RIGHT video. there are 2 and you have the good thanks :). Greetings Nightwish Army Germany.

great reaction! you guys should check romanticide and ghost river
I believe the song is about trolls.
If you like Marko singing and like it heavy you could give Master Passion Greed a go (audio only, no live footage that I know of)
Doesn't get much more heavy or aggressive than that!
STORYTIME Wacken 2013 pleaseeee
I would like to suggest you to react Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars live rehearsal at Sonic Pump Studio. Please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼
Apocalytica (FI) Nothing Else Matters ( Official Video)
Hey check out Rammstein Du hast live Paris.
If she's not a fan of growls, how about some treatment for that? 😈 Amorphis - The Bee.
Is a criticism to religions fanatics and preachers. They are hardcore atheists now.
