First of all, as you can already see, all Nightwish members are very talented professionals. Then - they have a career of over 2 decades as a band (17 years in 2013, when the Wacken concert was filmed) And last but not least, most of the songs and lyrics are composed by Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboard guy) who is a genius. They don't have two songs alike. Enough reasons to create good and very good songs. This year they released their 9th studio album, and they have 4 more albums recorded live in concerts. And yes, Ghost Love Score is one of their best songs. I'm eager to see your next Nightwish reactions. As I saw in your eyes, you're already hooked. You become one of us in no time..
The maestro was up there, playing the keyboards. ;) He writes the lyrics and composes most all of the Nightwish music, including any orchestral parts and as a bonus, each and every member brings 100% A game and talent to each and every song, every time they play them.
As far as "masterpiece" goes, this is third for me. Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley is 2nd for me, and The Greatest Show on Earth is practically undisputed as #1, live at Tampere is the best version. Gotta have Marko's vocals in it to qualify for contention as Nightwish's masterpiece in my opinion. This is more of a chance to showcase Floor's vocal ability nowadays, not as much the rest of the band.
Listen to " Nightwish " Greatest show on earth", "The Poet and the Pendulum" "Elan" , I could go on. Then listen to Floor on Beste Zangers do several songs by herself, Mama, Shadow, Phantom of the Opera, ALL Masterpieces!
When you get to Poet & the Pendulum (14 mins) at Wembley and Greatest Show on Earth (21 mins) at Tampere be sure to research what the songs are about. Why they were written, especially the Poet. It will make your reaction much better. There are versions of these that come with or without the lyrics. I suggest going with the lyrics. Enjoyed your commentary. To me, all Nightwish songs are masterpieces. 😂 😄🤘
I would call this song a great introduction to Nightwish ... there is so much more to see from this band and singer ! A masterpiece ... they do have better ... so I would say they have many masterpieces !! Will look forward to you seeing more of their masterpieces !!
Being Symphonic Metal allows them to take their music in several different directions.. They have the long epic multipart masterpiece style songs like Ghost Love Score, The Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth.. Then they have several of the more classic heavy thrash metal songs like "Romanticide or Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. Then they have them just about anywhere in between like Storytime and Ghost River.. all excellent They even have a very celtic rock type sound going on in songs like "E'lan" and "My Walden".. The Nightwish Army loves it all..
for a lot of Nightwish fans : The gratest show on earth is their MASTERPIECE. Not far behind is The Poet and the Pendulum. ( for some its the other way around ) but for both sides/groups Gost love score is in thierd place. YES it is a masterpiece But Nightwish has more than one masterpiece. my fav i have 5 songs that are my favorite songs. It changes from day to day for me. One day its this one and the next day its that one. BUT its the live versions song by Floor and Marco.
Just watched this and wanted to say that I enjoyed it very much. I feel you have genuine reactions to the music videos you watch and are not afraid to tell us exactly how you feel regardless of what others might think. I respect and appreciate that. Thank you for this reaction and I look forward to many more from you. Yes, I agree with you 100% that Ghost Love Score is one of Nightwish's (Tuomas's) masterpieces. It was the first video I ever watched from Nightwish and is still my favorite. I would like to suggest that you take a look at the video (currently only available as a lyric video) for Shoemaker off their new album Human Nature. I read an interview with Floor where she said it was the most challenging song that she has ever had to learn and sing. But she put her heart into it and along with suggestions from Tuomas made it into in my opinion one of Nightwish's best and a strong contender to at least match Ghost Love Score in amazingness! NIGHTWISH - Shoemaker (Official Lyric Video) th-cam.com/video/Rjp_DfvJimg/w-d-xo.html I can't wait to see a live performance of this song!! Thanks again, Gord
Dude you are just starting in the Nightwish man!, You are going to experience something crazy once go down this rabbit hole. This is an amazing tune but get ready because they have many like this. I'm a couple years into being a fan and still haven't gotten to alot of their tunes but I have seen alot of masterpieces from them. Cheers
And...He's Toast ! Awesome reaction, dude 😎💜. You're now an official member of the NIGHTWISH Army and WELCOME YOU to the magical, musical, mystical world of Love, Peace, Earth, Humanity, Heaven, And the incomparable Goddess Floor Jansen !!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos !!!
P.S. I have several favorite Nightwish song requests for you ( ALL the live versions, of course !). Storytime, Romanticide, the Islander, and Song of Myself (Wacken 2013 concert, also be
Ghost Love Score is great. Nightwish's best? Well its in the top ten... The Greatest Show on Earth, The poet and the pendulum... the entire Human Nature album... Dead Boys poem... Master Passion greed, Ever Dream... The escapist... yeah. top ten. Get yourself down that Nightwish rabbit hole!
Master Passion Greed always falls through the cracks because it will never be played live. Shame because it is their heaviest song by a mile, but it's obvious why they don't perform it.
it's certainly the most loved because of Floor, Poet & The Pendulum is pretty epic as well from Wembley 2016,I would stay with live performances for a bit especially from this Wacken 2013, there's so much to be enthralled by ,
A few things... 8:34 "What instrument is that?" We are talking about a band that uses a symphonic orchestra, choirs, drums, base, guitar, keyboard, vocals plus a whole swathe of instruments nobody's ever heard of. Can you please be a *little* more specific ;) 11:49 "They made a movie. That's what that was." They did make a movie. This is not it ;) It's called Imaginaerum and was made based off their album with the same name. It features all the band members except Floor, who had not yet replaced the previous singer Anette at that point. 12:48 "I just don't forsee them having a better made song", 12:59 "This has to be their work of art, their masterpiece" Nightwish: Hold my beer. They have a lot of very well made songs. For epicness, Ghost Love Score, The Greatest Show On Earth and The Poet And The Pendulum are the holy trinity.
Also, I noticed that Gabriel didn't post the history this time (he usually beats me to it), so I'll give you the Brief History of Nightwish, compiled by the late Ann Waychoff (the Mother of the Nightwish Army who recently passed away): "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. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist 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"
Next, check out "Romanticide" from the Wacken 2013 festival. Actually, the entire hour and a half Nightwish set from Wacken 2013 is available on TH-cam in HD and every song is perfect. "Ghost Love Score" is, indeed, brilliant but much of the Nightwish Army will tell you (as some already have) that "Greatest Show on Earth" is their magnum opus. Check out the live performance of "Greatest Show" from Tempere and see if you don't agree. "Poet and the Pendulum" would also get a lot of votes for Nightwish's best - but you really need to get the back story on that one before you watch it as it is very personal to the band and to Tuomas, the composer (and keyboardist for the band). This Wacken performance of Ghost Love Score was my personal intro to Nightwish and I've been part of the Nightwish Army ever since. Excellent reaction, by the way!
Tuomas the keyboardist wrote this song and he is heavily influence by movie scores. Great reaction video my friend. Definitely a masterpiece of rock music. Usually this is played late in the set.
Is this Nightwish's masterpiece? Yes... (next song) Is this Nightwish's masterpiece? Yes... (next song) Is this Nightwish's masterpiece? Yes... you get the idea. But also yes, this is definitely the pinnacle of Nightwish, IMHO.
Hey Dan! First - love your channel, keep it up! Second - I agree with a number of commentors. Your opinion on Nightwish's masterpiece may very well change after listening to The Poet And The Pendulum and The Greatest Show On Earth. I will say, prior to listening to Poet, do a little reading up on the history that led to the writing of it. Knowing that puts it into more context, makes it that much better, hits you in the feels.
Save some space on that list, obviously you must experience "The Greatest Show on Earth", the live version on Tampere 2016. Maybe another slot of those 50 to "Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembley with lyrics ( even though should require research first, so that the experience will make more sense), and then the new album as a all, is a masterpiece in my list. I will love to see your reactions and then... your new list.
In the game of "What is their Masterpiece," I SEE your Ghost Love Score and RAISE you the Greatest Show on Earth (Live in Tampere)! Ghost Love Score and the Poet & the Pendulum are masterpieces, but Greatest Show on Earth is undeniably their Magnum Opus! And don't turn it off when you think it's over! Watch til the end, all the way through the ending credits. because there are two spoken-word parts at the end that encapsulate the story!
The pipes are props. They have a backing track played by a symphony orchestra. Imo this is one of the best Nightwish songs. And it is Floor's favorite song to sing. She once again confirmed that a couple of days ago, when she was answering fans' questions. "Everdream", Wacken 2013, would be nice next! Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
Unfiltered Reactions: They can't possibly get better than this! NW: Yes. We can. For other epic songs, the greatest Show on Earth, Live Tampere and Poet and the pendulum, live Wembley. Also from Wacken just about any song, highlights for me, Storytime, Romanticide, Ever Dream. Also, Yours is an empty hope, Wembley. For a full album review, latest Human Nature, do them in the order of appearance on the album, you will not regret it. It is a true masterpiece from beginning to end.
Not gladiators, but close.... the Valkyrie Goddess Of Metal about to come on Simply love when that final note hits, 82,000+ floorgasms and 🤘🏻 are raised to the goddess
This was a score, so it's made to change up and go just about anywhere.. The Symphonic Metal shines in this one. This is just one of several epic performances in this concert, then there are concerts like Wembley Arena, Tampere Finland, Buenos Aires, etc. etc. etc. You want to get to know Nightwish? Believe me, you don't do Nightwish Albums, you do Nightwish concerts. Being symphonic metal
Based on your facial expressions (they kind of waited some huge metal things to happen), I suggest you do "Ever Dream" from this same concert (Official Live) and "The Poet And The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015 with lyrics). But you should read Nightwish wiki, and do little background search before diving into TPATP, because that song can be quite confusing, and it's probably the most emotional song for many fans. Short story, it's Tuomas' (the keyboardist, songwriter) lyrical suicide after they departed with their first singer, and he got all the hate on him. He was in very deep depression, and he kind of wrote his own suicide, and thought what it would do to his friends and parents, so he wouldn't have to do it in real. Then there is over 20 min long "The greatest show on earth" (Live in Tampere 2015). These three, Ghost Love Score, The Poet And The Pendulum and Greatest Show are their holy trinity. Three huge epics. But there are at least 30 songs among them, which all could be in top 10, depending on day. Maybe 50, or 60. They don't have a single bad song. Then there is this thing, that they have had three singers, and many songs have been performed by all of them. So you have at least 200 more reactions to do =)
I love your reactions. You are focused but still open to being affected by the music.Been subbed a while but I would again if I could. I would disagree about the 50 masterpieces. To each their own. Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth are their masterpieces, imho. Your opinions are yours, stand by them ofc. NW is best experienced live. Not an album, but instead I'd recommend doing the whole Wacken 2013 show. That is a live masterpiece of a show. Cheers
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Yeah Dan, this is one of their bigger pieces but others have also listed their other two. I'd actually recommend Song of Myself from this same show!!!! I really think you would dig it!!!! 😉
Oh Dan, they definitely have upped their game with Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth!!! If you do Greatest Show do the live from Tampere and go all the way through the credits to get the entirety of the piece!!! You'll understand why!!! 😉🤘🤘
Nice reaction. For myself I have compared GLS with Bohemian Rhapsody in my mind. They are in the same space for me. However there are more Nighwish songs that have this quality. For a lot of them my favorite is just the last one I heard.GLS is probably the most accessable one.
The Greatest Show on Earth is definitely a masterpiece. But due to the lyrics, it might divide peoples opinions more than GLS. If one is a young earth creationist (thinking the age of earth is only about 6000 years old), I understand one might have a problem accepting it as a masterpiece.
I am sorry, but if the Greatest Show on Earth offends somebody, it may be time for that person to reconsider their believes and life choices. Young Earth creationists may want to go ahead and do that regardless.
Gladiator is about to come . Lol...well then try reacting on Circus maximus ' s Glory of the empire. Its about gladiator. Btw. GLS is my fave nightwish song. This wacken live version will be remembered as the most epic metal performance of all time.
Floor as a singer really is an essential component of this song being so good. If you watch a performance of this song from a concert where Tarja is still the singer, it isn´t even very good. Don´t get me wrong, I love Tarja´s voice when the song fits her style of singing. I understand that people who listened to Nightwish back in the Tarja days are fond of her, but I don´t see how you can seriously say that she was a better performer than Floor. Floor is an insane singer with a stage presence that is kinda out of this world. I don´t even listen to Nightwish that much, they are not my favorite band in the world, but I still think that Floor might be the best front figure for any band in world today that I know of, and the perfect fit for Nightwish. I just hope they do not make any more ridiculous Richard Dawkins Collaborations in the future. The Greatest Show on Earth has good music in it and such, but is just too silly.
Ow boy....😁 This has to be their best one, their Masterpiece...🤔 True 👌 One of them! 🤘 Suggestion watch Romanticide Storytime, Shudder (before the beautiful) 7 Days to the Wolves Ever Dream..To name some and after this there are still more candidates 😁 👊 Add on.. best album..difficult question 9 studio albums 3 singers For me Imaginaerium 👍 a long time favorite, then came Human.:||: Nature. 👌 Done deal for me...and there also the live dvd's Which are good! 😎
GLS is a gateway drug, but it's no where near their masterpiece, it showcases a Floorgasm but really it's Jukka's song and the band know it, he did stellar work on this Track, most reactors mention it in passing but every drummer who covers it is in awe. Song of Myself is My favourite followed by The Islander but the Masterpiece is Poet and the Pendulum, that song has everything from time changes, vocal range, epic lyrics, emotion, is has power metal and power ballad in the same song, and the Whole 3 minutes randomly thrown in is mind blowing. Their best Album is Imaginaerum.
You have to check out the greatest show on earth which is only the most epic of nightwishes multiple masterpieces. Yes I consider that to be the greatest song written.
The correct reaction is "good goddess", not "good god". :) The Poet and the Pendulum is masterpiecier than this, but that doesn't mean much, because their songwriting is consistently so good. In chronological order, some other masterpieces are: Stargazers, The Pharaoh Sails to Orion, Sleeping Sun, Wishmaster, Deep Silent Complete, Beauty of the Beast, 7 Days to the Wolves, Ghost Rriver, Scaretale, Turn Loose the Mermaids, Yours Is An Empty Hope, My Walden, Tribal, Endlessness... among many others,because it's really difficult to choose. If you're going to do an entire album, do the Wacken show. Nightwish are always better live.
First of all, as you can already see, all Nightwish members are very talented professionals. Then - they have a career of over 2 decades as a band (17 years in 2013, when the Wacken concert was filmed) And last but not least, most of the songs and lyrics are composed by Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboard guy) who is a genius. They don't have two songs alike. Enough reasons to create good and very good songs. This year they released their 9th studio album, and they have 4 more albums recorded live in concerts. And yes, Ghost Love Score is one of their best songs.
I'm eager to see your next Nightwish reactions. As I saw in your eyes, you're already hooked. You become one of us in no time..
The maestro was up there, playing the keyboards. ;) He writes the lyrics and composes most all of the Nightwish music, including any orchestral parts and as a bonus, each and every member brings 100% A game and talent to each and every song, every time they play them.
I love to see peoples first floorgasm !!!!!!
Try "Poet and the Pendulum" or "Greatest Show on Earth" and you might be revising your opinion.
No doubt. They have many great songs. You are in for a treat, good sir!
Yeah, try 5 acts instead of 3 ;) Nah, i couldn't decide, which is better.
YES PLEASE!
Your facial reactions during that song reminded of the first time I heard it Epic song that hits an emotion in you. And her voice is beautiful
All their concerts are like this!
For me that top 50 songs can be filled with Nightwish alone.
Nightwish - The Gratest Show on Earth - Live at Tampere 2016
As far as "masterpiece" goes, this is third for me. Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley is 2nd for me, and The Greatest Show on Earth is practically undisputed as #1, live at Tampere is the best version. Gotta have Marko's vocals in it to qualify for contention as Nightwish's masterpiece in my opinion. This is more of a chance to showcase Floor's vocal ability nowadays, not as much the rest of the band.
Besides Floor, Jukka kills it in this song.
This is a masterpiece, gave me goosebumps. What a rollercoaster of emotions and joy!
Listen to " Nightwish " Greatest show on earth", "The Poet and the Pendulum" "Elan" , I could go on. Then listen to Floor on Beste Zangers do several songs by herself, Mama, Shadow, Phantom of the Opera, ALL Masterpieces!
Nice genuine reaction sir. More Nightwish please. Try Everdream or Storytime from the same show to get your feet a bit wetter
Great comment Bro 🤘....Nightwish Army is Here 🦉💜👑....Next....storytime....from the same concert 🔥💎🎶
Great reaction !! Your sound is great , listen to the army for the musical ride of your life !! Watch them live and keep them coming !! 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
When you get to Poet & the Pendulum (14 mins) at Wembley and Greatest Show on Earth (21 mins) at Tampere be sure to research what the songs are about. Why they were written, especially the Poet. It will make your reaction much better. There are versions of these that come with or without the lyrics. I suggest going with the lyrics. Enjoyed your commentary. To me, all Nightwish songs are masterpieces. 😂 😄🤘
I would call this song a great introduction to Nightwish ... there is so much more to see from this band and singer ! A masterpiece ... they do have better ... so I would say they have many masterpieces !! Will look forward to you seeing more of their masterpieces !!
Its one masterpiece after another with Nightwish.
Being Symphonic Metal allows them to take their music in several different directions.. They have the long epic multipart masterpiece style songs like Ghost Love Score, The Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth.. Then they have several of the more classic heavy thrash metal songs like "Romanticide or Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders.. Then they have them just about anywhere in between like Storytime and Ghost River.. all excellent They even have a very celtic rock type sound going on in songs like "E'lan" and "My Walden".. The Nightwish Army loves it all..
The greatest show on earth Masterpiece
Definitely their best!! There are longer songs that are also epic- but this is their absolute top masterpiece!!!
for a lot of Nightwish fans : The gratest show on earth is their MASTERPIECE.
Not far behind is The Poet and the Pendulum. ( for some its the other way around ) but for both sides/groups Gost love score is in thierd place. YES it is a masterpiece But Nightwish has more than one masterpiece. my fav i have 5 songs that are my favorite songs. It changes from day to day for me. One day its this one and the next day its that one. BUT its the live versions song by Floor and Marco.
Just watched this and wanted to say that I enjoyed it very much. I feel you have genuine reactions to the music videos you watch and are not afraid to tell us exactly how you feel regardless of what others might think. I respect and appreciate that. Thank you for this reaction and I look forward to many more from you.
Yes, I agree with you 100% that Ghost Love Score is one of Nightwish's (Tuomas's) masterpieces. It was the first video I ever watched from Nightwish and is still my favorite. I would like to suggest that you take a look at the video (currently only available as a lyric video) for Shoemaker off their new album Human Nature. I read an interview with Floor where she said it was the most challenging song that she has ever had to learn and sing. But she put her heart into it and along with suggestions from Tuomas made it into in my opinion one of Nightwish's best and a strong contender to at least match Ghost Love Score in amazingness!
NIGHTWISH - Shoemaker (Official Lyric Video)
th-cam.com/video/Rjp_DfvJimg/w-d-xo.html
I can't wait to see a live performance of this song!!
Thanks again,
Gord
Dude you are just starting in the Nightwish man!, You are going to experience something crazy once go down this rabbit hole. This is an amazing tune but get ready because they have many like this. I'm a couple years into being a fan and still haven't gotten to alot of their tunes but I have seen alot of masterpieces from them. Cheers
And...He's Toast ! Awesome reaction, dude 😎💜. You're now an official member of the NIGHTWISH Army and WELCOME YOU to the magical, musical, mystical world of Love, Peace, Earth, Humanity, Heaven, And the incomparable Goddess Floor Jansen !!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos !!!
P.S. I have several favorite Nightwish song requests for you ( ALL the live versions, of course !). Storytime, Romanticide, the Islander, and Song of Myself (Wacken 2013 concert, also be
The conductor was on the keyboards. Cheers for the reaction 😁
And down the rabbit hole you go, enjoy the ride!!
They have so many masterpieces..
And love the Floorgasims.!
Ghost Love Score is great. Nightwish's best? Well its in the top ten... The Greatest Show on Earth, The poet and the pendulum... the entire Human Nature album... Dead Boys poem... Master Passion greed, Ever Dream... The escapist... yeah. top ten. Get yourself down that Nightwish rabbit hole!
Master Passion Greed always falls through the cracks because it will never be played live. Shame because it is their heaviest song by a mile, but it's obvious why they don't perform it.
💯🤘🤘
it's certainly the most loved because of Floor, Poet & The Pendulum is pretty epic as well from Wembley 2016,I would stay with live performances for a bit especially from this Wacken 2013, there's so much to be enthralled by ,
That’s a Floorgasm 🔥🤙
They have several masterpieces. Explore more before hitting them.
The pipes are a facade. He has Korg keyboards behind there.
The whole Wachen concert is a masterpieces
congratulations, you have been floored :D
A few things...
8:34 "What instrument is that?"
We are talking about a band that uses a symphonic orchestra, choirs, drums, base, guitar, keyboard, vocals plus a whole swathe of instruments nobody's ever heard of. Can you please be a *little* more specific ;)
11:49 "They made a movie. That's what that was."
They did make a movie. This is not it ;) It's called Imaginaerum and was made based off their album with the same name. It features all the band members except Floor, who had not yet replaced the previous singer Anette at that point.
12:48 "I just don't forsee them having a better made song", 12:59 "This has to be their work of art, their masterpiece"
Nightwish: Hold my beer.
They have a lot of very well made songs. For epicness, Ghost Love Score, The Greatest Show On Earth and The Poet And The Pendulum are the holy trinity.
Also, I noticed that Gabriel didn't post the history this time (he usually beats me to it), so I'll give you the Brief History of Nightwish, compiled by the late Ann Waychoff (the Mother of the Nightwish Army who recently passed away):
"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. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist 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"
Floor is such a beautiful singer.
Just wait til you hear Greatest Show on Earth (tampere performance)......
Next, check out "Romanticide" from the Wacken 2013 festival. Actually, the entire hour and a half Nightwish set from Wacken 2013 is available on TH-cam in HD and every song is perfect. "Ghost Love Score" is, indeed, brilliant but much of the Nightwish Army will tell you (as some already have) that "Greatest Show on Earth" is their magnum opus.

This Wacken performance of Ghost Love Score was my personal intro to Nightwish and I've been part of the Nightwish Army ever since. Excellent reaction, by the way!
He has already checked out Romanticide. That song was his introduction to Nightwish.
The 'Floorgasm' strikes again Nightwish army UK here but boy your in for an amazing insight 👍👌
Great reaction, you made me start cheering on Cleveland Cavaliers!!
"I just can't see them having a better made song" -- Really? Hold on tight, you're in for a ride.
Tuomas the keyboardist wrote this song and he is heavily influence by movie scores. Great reaction video my friend. Definitely a masterpiece of rock music. Usually this is played late in the set.
I agree
For me The Poet and the Pendulum is number one of their "Big three". But much harder to listen to because of its sadness.
I recommend any song from this concert especially Everdream ,Song of myself , Storytime and Romanticide
Their best made song? Oh my sweet friend you have much to learn yet, one of their best sure, but keep listening and keep reacting to this band.
Is this Nightwish's masterpiece? Yes... (next song) Is this Nightwish's masterpiece? Yes... (next song) Is this Nightwish's masterpiece? Yes... you get the idea. But also yes, this is definitely the pinnacle of Nightwish, IMHO.
Not their Masterpiece. Their masterpiece is The Greatest Show On Earth. Again must see live
th-cam.com/video/aTAaEHiGjvU/w-d-xo.html
Ghost love score ts the Mastetpiece,peried!
@@jpheininen6465 It is Floor's favorite song. My preference probably goes to TGSOE. But GLS is a masterpiece to as is P&P
The Holy Trinity are their masterpieces. Full stop. :)
That and "The Poet and the Pendulum!"
This is what is music made of.
Yes it is there best song 🎤🎤🎤
Hey Dan! First - love your channel, keep it up! Second - I agree with a number of commentors. Your opinion on Nightwish's masterpiece may very well change after listening to The Poet And The Pendulum and The Greatest Show On Earth. I will say, prior to listening to Poet, do a little reading up on the history that led to the writing of it. Knowing that puts it into more context, makes it that much better, hits you in the feels.
A classic. I am glad you are unto Nightwish. And yes, it could be the score to a movie
Yes Floor doesn't miss notes. She is the best female singer in the world today for a reason !!!!!
Save some space on that list, obviously you must experience "The Greatest Show on Earth", the live version on Tampere 2016. Maybe another slot of those 50 to "Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembley with lyrics ( even though should require research first, so that the experience will make more sense), and then the new album as a all, is a masterpiece in my list. I will love to see your reactions and then... your new list.
Love my Floor she is the best ❤❤❤❤❤
In the game of "What is their Masterpiece," I SEE your Ghost Love Score and RAISE you the Greatest Show on Earth (Live in Tampere)! Ghost Love Score and the Poet & the Pendulum are masterpieces, but Greatest Show on Earth is undeniably their Magnum Opus! And don't turn it off when you think it's over! Watch til the end, all the way through the ending credits. because there are two spoken-word parts at the end that encapsulate the story!
Indeed. And the correct version is 21 minutes, not 17.
Actually, if you skip the spoken parts with Richard Dawkins, it´s very good, but those parts are so Silly.
When you said about the Titanic coming on , I got a sinking feeling that that wouldn't go down to well :P Great Video, subbed
Is is one of the great but they do have more (for me) jist make sure to listen to live versions with Floor, you will never be disappointed 🤟
You must watch The greatest show on earth live at Tampere
Nightwish's masterpiece? They have at least 20 masterpieces. This is just one of them ...
The pipes are props. They have a backing track played by a symphony orchestra. Imo this is one of the best Nightwish songs. And it is Floor's favorite song to sing. She once again confirmed that a couple of days ago, when she was answering fans' questions.
"Everdream", Wacken 2013, would be nice next!
Greetings from Helsinki Finland!
Unfiltered Reactions: They can't possibly get better than this!
NW: Yes. We can.
For other epic songs, the greatest Show on Earth, Live Tampere and Poet and the pendulum, live Wembley. Also from Wacken just about any song, highlights for me, Storytime, Romanticide, Ever Dream. Also, Yours is an empty hope, Wembley.
For a full album review, latest Human Nature, do them in the order of appearance on the album, you will not regret it. It is a true masterpiece from beginning to end.
New sub! Great reaction! The Poet and The Pendulum is their #1 masterpiece. But GLS this is one of NW's top 5 songs for sure.
The poet and The pendelum are there masterpiece:)
Not gladiators, but close.... the Valkyrie Goddess Of Metal about to come on
Simply love when that final note hits, 82,000+ floorgasms and 🤘🏻 are raised to the goddess
Was here for the floorgasm
This was a score, so it's made to change up and go just about anywhere.. The Symphonic Metal shines in this one. This is just one of several epic performances in this concert, then there are concerts like Wembley Arena, Tampere Finland, Buenos Aires, etc. etc. etc. You want to get to know Nightwish? Believe me, you don't do Nightwish Albums, you do Nightwish concerts. Being symphonic metal
Based on your facial expressions (they kind of waited some huge metal things to happen), I suggest you do "Ever Dream" from this same concert (Official Live) and "The Poet And The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015 with lyrics). But you should read Nightwish wiki, and do little background search before diving into TPATP, because that song can be quite confusing, and it's probably the most emotional song for many fans. Short story, it's Tuomas' (the keyboardist, songwriter) lyrical suicide after they departed with their first singer, and he got all the hate on him. He was in very deep depression, and he kind of wrote his own suicide, and thought what it would do to his friends and parents, so he wouldn't have to do it in real.
Then there is over 20 min long "The greatest show on earth" (Live in Tampere 2015). These three, Ghost Love Score, The Poet And The Pendulum and Greatest Show are their holy trinity. Three huge epics. But there are at least 30 songs among them, which all could be in top 10, depending on day. Maybe 50, or 60. They don't have a single bad song. Then there is this thing, that they have had three singers, and many songs have been performed by all of them. So you have at least 200 more reactions to do =)
I can fall out of bed and think of 10 songs that are in my top 50. Floor is a one in a billion person.
Nightwish has many Masterpieces, and all are from the mind of Tuomas the Keyboardist and founder of Nightwish.
“Poet and the Pendulum” from Wembley is even better, IMHO.
It's a start...
Only one of their masterpieces
My top three includes too many songs to list😁 Greetings from🇫🇮
Three minutes into the song: "She has pipes"... Kid you haven't heard even 25% of what she'll do in this song.
React to Motionless in White - Thoughts & Prayers. You will really like it!
I love your reactions. You are focused but still open to being affected by the music.Been subbed a while but I would again if I could. I would disagree about the 50 masterpieces. To each their own. Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth are their masterpieces, imho. Your opinions are yours, stand by them ofc. NW is best experienced live. Not an album, but instead I'd recommend doing the whole Wacken 2013 show. That is a live masterpiece of a show. Cheers
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah Dan, this is one of their bigger pieces but others have also listed their other two. I'd actually recommend Song of Myself from this same show!!!! I really think you would dig it!!!! 😉
Oh Dan, they definitely have upped their game with Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth!!! If you do Greatest Show do the live from Tampere and go all the way through the credits to get the entirety of the piece!!! You'll understand why!!! 😉🤘🤘
Nice reaction. For myself I have compared GLS with Bohemian Rhapsody in my mind. They are in the same space for me. However there are more Nighwish songs that have this quality. For a lot of them my favorite is just the last one I heard.GLS is probably the most accessable one.
The Greatest Show on Earth is definitely a masterpiece. But due to the lyrics, it might divide peoples opinions more than GLS. If one is a young earth creationist (thinking the age of earth is only about 6000 years old), I understand one might have a problem accepting it as a masterpiece.
I am sorry, but if the Greatest Show on Earth offends somebody, it may be time for that person to reconsider their believes and life choices. Young Earth creationists may want to go ahead and do that regardless.
My big 3 are Poet and the Pendulum, Yours is an Empty Hope, Ghost Love Score.
Just wait until you get to The Greatest Show on Earth and Poet And The Pendulum.
Gladiator is about to come . Lol...well then try reacting on Circus maximus ' s Glory of the empire. Its about gladiator.
Btw. GLS is my fave nightwish song.
This wacken live version will be remembered as the most epic metal performance of all time.
Check the studio version if you want to hear more of the Orchestral sound its very beautiful
13:00 "Magnum opus" is the term you are looking for,
Nightwish - PAN - 2020
Floor as a singer really is an essential component of this song being so good. If you watch a performance of this song from a concert where Tarja is still the singer, it isn´t even very good. Don´t get me wrong, I love Tarja´s voice when the song fits her style of singing. I understand that people who listened to Nightwish back in the Tarja days are fond of her, but I don´t see how you can seriously say that she was a better performer than Floor. Floor is an insane singer with a stage presence that is kinda out of this world. I don´t even listen to Nightwish that much, they are not my favorite band in the world, but I still think that Floor might be the best front figure for any band in world today that I know of, and the perfect fit for Nightwish. I just hope they do not make any more ridiculous Richard Dawkins Collaborations in the future. The Greatest Show on Earth has good music in it and such, but is just too silly.
I could name 10 Nightwish songs that are better, but GLS is a great song. Just shows how good Nightwish is and how deep their pool is.
jepp i agree.many bands have a masterpiece.but iam a nightwish fan and tuomas is my master.....
They've got at least 30 master pieces ,composed by Toumas The Metal Mozart. 🤘🤘🤘
Nightwish - Romanticide - Live at Waken 2013
Ow boy....😁 This has to be their best one, their Masterpiece...🤔 True 👌 One of them! 🤘
Suggestion watch Romanticide Storytime, Shudder (before the beautiful) 7 Days to the Wolves Ever Dream..To name some and after this there are still more candidates 😁 👊
Add on.. best album..difficult question 9 studio albums 3 singers
For me Imaginaerium 👍 a long time favorite, then came Human.:||: Nature. 👌 Done deal for me...and there also the live dvd's Which are good! 😎
GLS is a gateway drug, but it's no where near their masterpiece, it showcases a Floorgasm but really it's Jukka's song and the band know it, he did stellar work on this Track, most reactors mention it in passing but every drummer who covers it is in awe.
Song of Myself is My favourite followed by The Islander but the Masterpiece is Poet and the Pendulum, that song has everything from time changes, vocal range, epic lyrics, emotion, is has power metal and power ballad in the same song, and the Whole 3 minutes randomly thrown in is mind blowing.
Their best Album is Imaginaerum.
🖤
You have to check out the greatest show on earth which is only the most epic of nightwishes multiple masterpieces. Yes I consider that to be the greatest song written.
Ok... now THAT'S what I call a #FLOORGASM !
🤩👌💥💯🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
"Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 next by them (???) 🙄
The correct reaction is "good goddess", not "good god". :)
The Poet and the Pendulum is masterpiecier than this, but that doesn't mean much, because their songwriting is consistently so good. In chronological order, some other masterpieces are: Stargazers, The Pharaoh Sails to Orion, Sleeping Sun, Wishmaster, Deep Silent Complete, Beauty of the Beast, 7 Days to the Wolves, Ghost Rriver, Scaretale, Turn Loose the Mermaids, Yours Is An Empty Hope, My Walden, Tribal, Endlessness... among many others,because it's really difficult to choose.
If you're going to do an entire album, do the Wacken show. Nightwish are always better live.
Poet and the Pendulum
Greatest Show on earth
"What the hell's supposed to happen now?"
Close your eyes.
Relax.
We're getting there. 😊
