Something to think about - how Tuomas has used the instruments and and Floor's voice to simulate machine gun fire. When firing a medium machine gun of the type used in WWI, the trigger wasn't held down indefinitely until the belt was exhausted. That would risk overheating and jamming the gun. Well trained gunners would fire aimed bursts at a diagonal to the advancing troops to create an enfilade. Floor's rapid onsets and Emppu's picking were suggestive of these bursts.
I remember once at a concert in Finland Floor's mic stand was placed too close to pyros. She had a very painful expression on her face while the flames were roasting her - still those onsets were perfect! ❤
That would've been Lahti, and Marko's mic was too close as well. It was worse for him because he couldn't move it while playing, he had to give grumpy looks at the crew until they figured out what was wrong.
The soldier didn't realize he'd killed 10 men; he *was* the 10th man. The 9th was the boy; "Today I killed him/ He was just a boy/ *eight before him/* I knew them all"
You can recognize in the drums and Floor’s ritm the constantly repeated burst of the machine guns. Tuomas compositions are always so accurate. Incredible!!
I would love to see a reaction to Kurt Nilsen performing Firestone with Kygo. As the one and only winner of the world idol contest Kurt Nilsen has gone under the radar for the most part, but his voice is most certainly worth checking out.
You should check out the live version of this with Tarja as well (Summer Breeze 2002). I think this is one of those songs that really lends itself to her style. Edit: And no, I'm not putting them against each other. Floor is the perfect singer for NW at this point in their history.
I'm so biased toward Tarja's constant soprano. There's songs where I truly miss her operatic voice and this is one of them, Floor does go high but doesn't use the operatics as much. Like all the Wishmaster songs aren't the same with Floor, Tuomas did change a lot with Once and they're more approachable by other singers and Tarja's performance on that album does differ from earlier material.
Charlie, you have the best community, because you are the best reactor and musical and vocal analyst. Another of my favorites. Epic concept and arrangement. Marko, again plays the role of the soldier. He adds such an aggressiveness to the vocals and band in general. This aspect of Nightwish will be greatly missed. I am concerned that Nightwish is losing the metal component of their music. I love the epic intensity in this composition. Thanks again for your generous offer. Still contemplating? Be well.
I love both very much but this is one of the few songs that are just better with Tarja, check out the Summer Breeze 2002 version and decide for yourself. 😉
Well, this version isn't for me, I much prefer original Tarja's one. But it's nice to hear different versions from time to time too, so no complains. ;)
His voice, his personality, i want Marko back! Who's with me?
Probably everyone :)
Goes without saying really.😁
This is one of my favourite songs of Nightwish!
This song just grows on you.
Mind you, all Nightwish songs have magical properties
lyrics
Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him, I knew them all
In the fields, a dying oath:
"I'd kill them all to save my own"
Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no
One by one, we will fall, down down
Pull the plug, end the pain, run and fight for life
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight
Deliver me from this war
Its not for me it's because of you
Devils instant my eternity
Obey to kill to save yourself
Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no
One by one, We will fall, down down
Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight
"I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell
My path made up by their torn bodies
Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust
Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore"
They wait for me far back home
The live with eyes turned away
They were the first ones to see
They are the last ones to bleed
"The ultimate high as all beautiful dies
A rulers tool, a priests excuse, a tyrants delight...
I alone, the great white hunter
Ill march till the dawn brings me rest
10th patriot at the gallows pole! "
Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no
One by one, We will fall, down down
Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight
Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no
One by one, We will fall, down down
Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

The fact that Floor was sick when performing this show makes it all the more incredible.

When ..?
@@dclxvi3719 Decades tour, summer 2018. One of the concerts with Tapio Wilska, incidentally.
@@ozzyp97 song ?
Fantastic song, one of my favourites. Brilliant singing, music and fantastic songwriting by the Metal Mozart. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
HAIL Nightwish
The soldier didn't realize he'd killed 10 men; he *was* the 10th man. The 9th was the boy; "Today I killed him/ He was just a boy/ *eight before him/* I knew them all"
Inspirational! Awesome reaction, Charlie!!
The chorus is so freaking energizing, 10kg's more weights at gym when this comes from headphones.
You can recognize in the drums and Floor’s ritm the constantly repeated burst of the machine guns. Tuomas compositions are always so accurate. Incredible!!
Floor using her voice like an instrument ....yeah , Floor doing Floor things 🤘😎🤘.
Another one goes to my favorite reactions list !!!
NWSU .
Floor and Marco unbelievable - but i appreciate each of them alone as well.
She was operatically trained.
Another Great song, you on a roll. Enjoyed much, keep up the good work, or should I say(songs )

I just listen too the Tarja version and noooo , not even close too Floor
I'm so biased toward Tarja's constant soprano. There's songs where I truly miss her operatic voice and this is one of them, Floor does go high but doesn't use the operatics as much.

We don't get to hear this one enough.
"Using the tongue" Hahahahaa!
Thank you Charlie, another great reaction.
🎵🎵👍🇳🇱🤘🎵🎵🎯
Они лучшие- ничего не поделать
Congrats Charlie, you have more pauses than Chase Carneson!
Any fans of Star Wars & Nightwish need to look up the clone troopers/10th Man Down vid on TH-cam. Like immediately! 😁
Wellwell Charlie, well done! And i like this anti-war anthem a lot. ⛄👍
I love both very much but this is one of the few songs that are just better with Tarja, check out the Summer Breeze 2002 version and decide for yourself. 😉
