My favorite thing is to see Tuomas just belting it out in the background, no microphone, no way to hear him. Just enjoying the hell out of himself, full of energy, smiling like his vision has been realized.
It reminds me of one of there earliest DVDs where there's a part in the song that doesn't need keyboard so he gets out front and starts air guitaring and headbanging like crazy. It is so charming and fun to see passion like that :D
Me,too! Each if them very talented, but Tuomas and Floor are sooo compelling! This from a straight, 70s rock fan, now an uber Nightwish fan. My eyes, ears and heart are opened by their musical works.
I have decided it's the smiles on all their faces that has made the difference. They just seem to be enjoying themselves so much more than they did in the past.
I will do anything to get a big fanbase for Nightwish here in the states. I tell every one I know. Not only nightwish, but the entire symphonic genre. Epic music , progressive music should have more exposure here in the states. Im a 44 year old woman in KY dreaming of the day I can see Nightwish live in concert. Hoping dreams do come true, much love from KY Poet girl.
AGREED She opens that Mouth and noting comes out Her wanting to Say and give MUCH MORE but her beautiful eyes saying IM HERE and you are MINE No Denying She isThe Best THE BEST THE POWER AND EMOTION IS UNDENIABLE Maybe an oldr song but she owns them all NOW With This Performance just another Cherrie on the cake
Nightwish needs to go independent, otherwise he won't come back. I don't understand why the other members let themselves be used by exploiters, they made it a long time ago, they don't need them. Marco is right. It's absurd slaving away for greedy people who in their own country literally torture anyone to death who makes music like this or even listens to it for doing so. That's what Marco criticized himself.
His decision to leave NW is not so unexpected as we might think and I would not ascribe it solely to his health issues, considering how poorly the've used his voice on their last album, close to nothing...
@@Mgoblagulkablong could you elaborate on that please? I'm totally uninformed about their label, in fact I thought that they went independent long ago. Thanks!
Tuomas and Marko created another monster song here. A truly great Nightwish creation. One that I listen to very often. Watching Tuomas singing to himself just shows how much he likes the wonder of his creation.
@@pahema472 just for the sake of argument i just tried to watch annnette sing this uh wellll she certainly aint Floor to put it very mildly and be polite
I love hearing Floor and Marco sing together. They don't overpower each other, they make the other sound better which is super hard. Neither really feels like the 'backing vocalist' to me, it actually sounds like a duet.
First an foremost I must say that i all aspects Nightwish are supremely impressive. As a sound engineer in the 90s, a couple of thousand concerts on monitor and FoH, I saw them during the Tarja years. I have few comments to all this. Now to the different eras, the vocalists, I think it is ok to compare them. But allow not erase any era. They are all very different. Personally, I like the Anette era albums most. The songs are great. And her type of voice is fitting on the records. Both Tarja and Floor are vastly better singers. Respect them all. Tarja sings with most ”opera” like voice. Clean and beautiful and with power. Now, with Floor you get both of them in the same package. The biggest difference is not the technical talent. It is the way of conveying emotions, power and command. There, Floor is simply playing in another division. You can name pretty much any reason you want, here she is one of the best performers in the whole world. Then, on top, the quality of live-Recordings today is fantastic. The Wacken 13 is probably on of the best I have ever heard in terms of mix an playing. I pretty much only listen to the live Recordings. In the end. Love them all. ”Bring back Marco…please”
"Light the fire, feast. Chase the ghost, give in. Take the road less traveled by, leave the city of fools. Turn every poet loose." Love that part. The vocals and power by Floor are amazing here.
@@pesulata Well Tuomas is clearly a wizard, Floor is a Valkyrie (which is probably some type of prestige class) and Troy is clearly the bard. As for the Alchemist I may actually give it to Kai because so much of what makes Nightwish great comes from the drums as one of the foundations of each composition (along with the keys as well) and the changes and transitions are moved forward by the drums. But i need to do a deeper dive into the Nightwish party comp
@SteveNL Well, yeah, I've known that since well before Floor started doing her videos. So, what, you think maybe he's the hobbit monk instead, specialized in unarmed combat? I suppose that could work, too. I just tend to default to rogue for Emppu because of the trickster aspect and the stealthiness. You know, every so often you look at the stage and you're like, "Wait, where did Emppu go? Oh... when the heck did he go over there, I didn't see him move!"
Nightwish has reached their final form! Troy and Floor allow Tuomas’s creations to come to life in endless forms most beautiful! Nightwish has reached perfection 🤘🔥❤️
Wow! This song just went into a whole different level! "This" Nightwish is simply perfect. I really enjoy Floor and Marco singing these songs together.
I feel sorry for Kai! He's been doing a great job keepin up for Jukka! I know everyone wants Jukka back, me too! But people dont give this guy enough credit for what he's doing!
Greetings from South Florida, United States. Tough to pick one song, but this is my favorite nightwish performance, for now at least. Everything is just perfect. Emppu and Troy jamming together. The vocal harmonies. Tuomas headbanging away. Kai and Marko just laying down the pavement. The video wall. The pyro. The crowd. All of it. But the best is Floor's antics. You can tell that she really digs playing this one. So many cool shots of her, but that one near the end takes it all. 31 flavors of badassery. So ferocious and awesome. Best in the business by far, bar mone. Love it, love them, and looking forward to seeing nightwish in Valhalla someday.
That was a powerful and magical show from Nightwish. The Vehicle Of Spirit DVD/Blu-ray Editions so beautiful (especially the Earbook Edition with so many photos). The Wembley Arena and the Tampere Show so awesome and pure magic. Great songs from the Endless Forms Most Beautiful Tour and some golden oldie Nightwish songs with many-many extras. Floor rules the full stage with full of energy, with dancing moves, small theatrical gestures and communication with the audience. This woman is a pure magic and gift for humanity. Floor have a beautiful heart and soul! I love this woman. Her voice, performance, femininity, presence, style... all of them I really hope Floor will singing for so many years for us (and Nightwish too). Floor deserve every support, love, appreciation and respect! I hope one day I meet with her and we can talk a little bit (and thank her for everything includes the After Forever/ReVamp era). Really can't wait the new Nightwish DVD/Blu-ray (Decades Live) release this year! :)
3:25 gives me the chills everytime I listen to it! You can see how Tuomas is enjoying this version of the song while Floor totally controls the audience.
I was born in '81 and have been through the 80's rock era, 90's rock era, and the 2000's nu metal era. I love rock/metal and have been a fan since i was young. I have many favorite bands. Right now if you asked me if i wanted to choose to go see any of those bands live or go see Nightwish live, i think i might have to choose Nightwish right now. I mean damn..this song kicks ass. Not all Nightwish songs are kickass but they have about 12 or 14 songs that i have heard that are heavy as fuck and Floor is like the female Johnathan Davis out there. She is a powerhouse and this band is extremely talented and different from other music we have here in the USA. Nightwish has another new fan here in me.
Again listening this incredible song... Marco, Floor, Emppu, Tuomas, Troy and Kai shows that they really have been possessed by the spirit of this song.
Floor is just sheer perfection. Tarja was great, I didn't think Annette was right for Nightwish, but Floor.... she's very versatile. Nobody can match up to the kind of range she has
As of May 24, he did release a solo album in Finland. Also, because the original is in Finnish, he will be re-releasing an English version as well. So no, Marco is a full vocalist in his own right -- and I think that his vocals are just as needed as Floor's. I mean, who else could sing I Want My Tears Back, Ghost River, or Last Ride of the Day with Floor? Lol
He does a great job with his image and the song he sang solo onstage, with Floor joining in again at the very end. Was it the "Mariner?" I forget, "This is the long for gotten light at the end of the world" was one of the lyrics. I think it was from "Dark passion play". He is quite attractive also, once you see his face without the hair covering it up, love the hair too.
If Bruce Dickinson had been born female.... and had a box to stand on.... you'd get Floor …. the vocals, the range, the power, the stage presence, the showmanship.... precious few in all of music history have been the complete package
Maiden is my favorite band, I MUST laugh when you say about Bruce needing to stand on a box, he is kinda small isn't he? Floor is the best female vocalist I've ever heard and her stage presence is just "perfect" for a metal performer.
exactly... Maiden is my favorite band as well.... especially live having seen them over 30 times since 1982, just poking fun at Bruce's stature as he does himself... Floor's talents are unrivaled
@@WrathchildNH Lucky you, I've only seen Maiden Live once years ago the "Give me ed til I'm dead" tour. They'll be here again in August BUT, I will not be seeing them. Bruce is a real showman, he runs all over the stage and just makes it all exciting, well, he did back in well, when I had seen Maiden I can't even recall just WHEN that was.
that would have been in 2003.... with Motorhead and Ronnie James Dio as the 2 support bands, I saw that show in Montreal Canada... a warmup tour for the release of Dance of Death... that was a great show to see. have you ever heard any of Bruce's solo music... like this maybe... th-cam.com/video/vXClBjNxiOA/w-d-xo.html
I'm very surprised Floor hasn't gotten into acting, either by her own desire, or someone picking her for a role. So much star power no matter what she is doing. She is the perfect superhero woman for whatever roles are coming up, film producers!
Some rock and metal stars do acting as a side line. Tuomas played a signifucant role in Imaginarium. Doro Pesch did well in Anuk: Path of the Warrior. Keith Richards had an ok role in Pirates. Anette was much more dynamic, so I can see her in films first beyond her playing that evil fairy. Even so, yes, Floor as a superhero, maybe as the sister of Wonder Woman (Floor is an Amazon and not the warehouse sort), or maybe as Freya, if they ever make a decent movie of Norse mythology.
Floor has said she first realized her voice was unique when - to her own suprise - she was cast as the Narrator in a secondary school production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. She has said that when she is on stage she is playing the part of "Floor", the dynamo we see when she is performing. Her theatricality can sometimes be overlooked because of her incomparable vocal instrument.
Fact is, nightwish got life back once they decided to take floor as the lead volcalist, this precious woman is the meaning of power, what a fucking presence she is, and clearly she is a more versatil vocalist than the previous ones, now nightwish is a well oiled machine ready to conquer the world. Damn i feel like im love with this wonderful woman.
Massive. So freaking massive. If I was 20 years younger and still into sports competition this would be my pre-game song to bring me into the right mood. THIS IS WHERE HEROES AND COWARDS PART WAYS! Also, the way Floor and Marko compliment each other is amazing. The whole band is amazing in this version. Definitely one of my favorite NW live performances.
No singer of nightwish could cover Marco's voice in thickness before. Floor did it.And they don't have to lover the volume on the vocal parts anymore. LOVE FLOOR!!!
Класс. Скажу, что эта композиция не сразу зашла. Но чем больше слушаешь, тем больше она нравится. Я просто поражаюсь. Флор так головой машет и при этом у нее дыхание не сбивается. То есть насколько она все в себе уверена. Ну и на пару с Марко они звучат здорово. Респект всем.
ALL Nightwish songs with Floor are Masterpieces. Hadn't heard and seen this one live before. Dam'n this is good music. It's not music anymore, it's a rocket through the galaxy and beyond.
Being fairly new to NW, I just keeping listening to different songs.....and every new one goes to the top of the list, until the next new one. LOVE this song.
I'm writing a book about two teenage brothers who become werewolves and if it gets published and turned into a movie, I'd love the Floor Jansen version of this song to be the theme
Love the energy and passion in this live performance, Floor and Marco combining their vocal talents, Tuomas headbanging on the keyboards near the end, and the rest of the band rocking hard.
I recently bought the Blu-Ray Vehicle of Spirit. It seemed i skipped an album with this song. I was at a concert in Amsterdam with Anette in 2012. Completely forgot this song. Is it the fireworks, is it the crowd, what happend ? No its Floor who nails it again ...
I’m obsessed with this version. Can’t stop listening to it, wake up with it in my head.
Marko and Floor are just so well matched. Heavenly harmonies.
My favorite thing is to see Tuomas just belting it out in the background, no microphone, no way to hear him. Just enjoying the hell out of himself, full of energy, smiling like his vision has been realized.
It reminds me of one of there earliest DVDs where there's a part in the song that doesn't need keyboard so he gets out front and starts air guitaring and headbanging like crazy. It is so charming and fun to see passion like that :D

reminds me of steve harris always mouthing along
@@rypro525 Both are superb creators. Both composer and a poet. They are truly legendary.
Can we just agree that Dark Passion Play is a hell of an album?
I've been stuck listening to DPP now for about six months. My excuse is that it's the only CD my car will play without the error.
@@kaitykaity Your cd player has good taste. Most cause the music to slowly become Best of Queen albums. (Hides from the ghost of Terry Pratchett)
My favorite.
for sure we can :D
@@jonathanday6692 Best. Comment. Ever. 🤣👏
2:10
Tuomas: *yells*
Emppu: *mildly startled*
Things you notice on you 10th watchthrough.
10 damn Keep Going SOOOO MUch Energy Becoming one of MY Favs
Lmao that's hilarious actually
Lmao and when they pan out he's still looking at him like "the hell man?"
10th that day , right ?
Ghahaha, I did not notice that XD Tnx for that. That was cute and funny :)
4:36 "Light the fire, feast"
This is a supernova explosion!!!!!
Floorgasm 😬😁
I have decided it's the smiles on all their faces that has made the difference. They just seem to be enjoying themselves so much more than they did in the past.
Tuomas headbanging like crazy near the end of the song is the best I've ever seen, he goes mad! And I love it!
The effortlessness with which she switches between a growly, raspy voice and the clear clean notes is insane.
I will do anything to get a big fanbase for Nightwish here in the states. I tell every one I know. Not only nightwish, but the entire symphonic genre. Epic music , progressive music should have more exposure here in the states. Im a 44 year old woman in KY dreaming of the day I can see Nightwish live in concert.

Dreams can come true 👍😊
MS I'm almost 66 and I found them about 1 year ago and love their music.
6:50 that energy, like a force of nature, Floor is awesome. Just a 2 sec clip, but I can watch it all day.
@vasszeleczki She goes "Full Imotep" in those two seconds...
AGREED She opens that Mouth and noting comes out Her wanting to Say and give MUCH MORE but her beautiful eyes saying IM HERE and you are MINE No Denying She isThe Best THE BEST THE POWER AND EMOTION IS UNDENIABLE Maybe an oldr song but she owns them all NOW With This Performance just another Cherrie on the cake
Same here, my favorite!!
I can see this woman leading an army of 100.000 men to conquer any land!!
Yes! It my favourite part of the song to watch other reactors faces when they see Floor go full beast mode!
I'll miss Marko, I hope he gets a good rest and healing
Nightwish needs to go independent, otherwise he won't come back. I don't understand why the other members let themselves be used by exploiters, they made it a long time ago, they don't need them.

371 dislikes? 371 persons know nothing at all about music and talent and power
Butt-hurt Tarja/Anette superfans, maybe? I really wish they'd stop doing that. I really do.
@@pahema472 just for the sake of argument i just tried to watch annnette sing this uh wellll she certainly aint Floor to put it very mildly and be polite
@@garywillingham3644 Anette's version gave me tears in my eyes.. because it was that bad
People have their own opinion you know...
(don't attack me lol, I love every Nightwish singer equally, they're good in their own way)
Of those, 370 wanted it to be longer, and 1 was tone deaf.
I love the crowd in Nightwish shows. Not often you see so many women at a metal show! And front-row-centre, singing along!
I love hearing Floor and Marco sing together. They don't overpower each other, they make the other sound better which is super hard. Neither really feels like the 'backing vocalist' to me, it actually sounds like a duet.
4:36 to 4:56 is one of my favorite things of all time. Her voice has insane power and beautiful tone.
Floor is phenomenal 🙏😍😊👍
👍🏻
Agree!!! I get goosebumps just listening this part
this woman is a force of nature, and I love her.
The power she exudes at 6:50. Primal.
If I have ever seen a power pose, its this one right here... Goddamn!
Becoming a werewolf
She looks like The Predator in that movie scene...only even *more* imposing. Infinitely better looking, too.
I thought she was like a fire breathing dragon!
All of the replies are spot on EXACTLY Nothing Else can be said it would be redundant SIMPLY THE POWER AND EMOTION CANNOT BE MATCHED
This is one of the greatest songs of Nightwish, all the musicians deserves deep respect for this amazing music
It's not just Floor. These songs are master pieces!!! Best band ever
am I the only one who thinks this song is seriously underrated?
no you're not, the whole album is underated.
You're right! This is my favorite Anette song and it isn't played live enough!
Parsa Teymoury Behind Poet and the Pendulum, this is my favorite song on the album. Incredible!
It is but I have a feeling it won't be anymore it looks like this song is going to be their regular Wall of Death song
Completed underrated! I've just learned about Nightwish thanks to Victoria K.
Floor: *LIGHT THE FIRE, FEEEEEEAST*
Me: *dies in floorgasm*
Oh ☺️ the voice from Floor is awesome
2:40 multiple emmpuorgasm 😂😂
I haven't h heard it yet but I'm liking your comment 😂❤ It's Floor and I believe people who say when they have experienced a floorgasm.
Ooo yes)))
I wish the rest of the song was sung in that style and finished like that. One of the best parts.
That face floor pulls at 6:51 Pure metal Demoness right there 😝🤘🏻
God she's so metal.🖤
First an foremost I must say that i all aspects Nightwish are supremely impressive.

In the end. Love them all.
”Bring back Marco…please”
The problems arose when the other Gods of Valhalla realized that it wasn't just that Marko looked like Odin
Such an underrated guitarist. That tone is pure filth!
This performance gets better every time I watch it. How is that possible? They are killing it! And Floor is simply an overwhelming force.
Holy! that roar at 6:49 its like the entire music is coming out of her mouth!
A hell of a performance. Can't stop listening and watching it, again and again and again 🤘🤘
"Light the fire, feast. Chase the ghost, give in. Take the road less traveled by, leave the city of fools. Turn every poet loose." Love that part. The vocals and power by Floor are amazing here.
Totally agree, goosebumps 😍😍
For me she is the most Complete singer l have heard
yes
No doubt
Die sind live affengeil. Eines der besten Konzerte die ich gesehen habe.Floor ist der Hammer. Da kann Tarja im Leben nicht mithalten.
Holy shit this version is out of this world!
Floor is the best ever vocalist in nightwish's history. All songs by her are 100x more amazeing
i agree she takes great songs to the next lvl. They go from great to epic
The chemistry in this band soars to the domain of alchemy.
Yep. I am asking myself who of the bandmembers or who in their direct environment is the alchemist.
@@pesulata Well Tuomas is clearly a wizard, Floor is a Valkyrie (which is probably some type of prestige class) and Troy is clearly the bard. As for the Alchemist I may actually give it to Kai because so much of what makes Nightwish great comes from the drums as one of the foundations of each composition (along with the keys as well) and the changes and transitions are moved forward by the drums. But i need to do a deeper dive into the Nightwish party comp
@@pesulata the guy with long white hair on guitar
@@jazzx251 Nah, Emppu's the Hobbit Rogue. I'll go with Brian Halligan that Kai is the Alchemist. And of course Marko is the Viking Warrior.
@SteveNL Well, yeah, I've known that since well before Floor started doing her videos. So, what, you think maybe he's the hobbit monk instead, specialized in unarmed combat? I suppose that could work, too. I just tend to default to rogue for Emppu because of the trickster aspect and the stealthiness. You know, every so often you look at the stage and you're like, "Wait, where did Emppu go? Oh... when the heck did he go over there, I didn't see him move!"
There's just something about this song that gets me fired up..
Marco & Floor in perfect harmony AND melody together!
I watch this and it continues to be one of the best heavy Rock performances I have ever seen and Damnit im 62 and i have seen a lot of them
Apologies,,only discovered nightwish 2 months ago,been blown away ever since,this song is truly epic,i have not heard a song I dislike,,,EPİC LİVE.
Nightwish has reached their final form! Troy and Floor allow Tuomas’s creations to come to life in endless forms most beautiful! Nightwish has reached perfection 🤘🔥❤️
AGREED
I agree, hopefully they have a plan to make it work without Marko...
Love how much distortion Floor uses in her voice in this song. One of her heaviest performances outside of the chorus of "Yours Is an Empty Hope."
At 3.39 Tuomas looks at Floor stage left and KNOWS With a smile Nightwish is now Whole Sooooooo Sooooo GREAT
Wow! This song just went into a whole different level! "This" Nightwish is simply perfect.
I really enjoy Floor and Marco singing these songs together.
Susy García yes indeed!!!
Is no one going to mention how graceful that guitar flick was at 5:15?
When this is the opening of their set you know you’re in for a good one
I feel sorry for Kai! He's been doing a great job keepin up for Jukka! I know everyone wants Jukka back, me too! But people dont give this guy enough credit for what he's doing!
Yes, he is an amazing drummer on his own right.
Man, that lady can sing like nothing else. This is one of the best songs off of that album too, don't know how I've missed this video for so long.
I love this song and Troy's electric Bozouki !
Greetings from South Florida, United States. Tough to pick one song, but this is my favorite nightwish performance, for now at least. Everything is just perfect. Emppu and Troy jamming together.

Agree 100%
This is the Nightwish song that has most grown on me since first hearing it.
Holy crap - 6:51 - Enter the Battle Floor. That face - WOW!
Deep respect to this lady from a non metal fan
Her voice is perfect for this song! I love when she sings "Light the fire, feast...", so good
Yes this ist true 😍
That was a powerful and magical show from Nightwish. The Vehicle Of Spirit DVD/Blu-ray Editions so beautiful (especially the Earbook Edition with so many photos).
The Wembley Arena and the Tampere Show so awesome and pure magic. Great songs from the Endless Forms Most Beautiful Tour and some golden oldie Nightwish songs with many-many extras.

I hope one day I meet with her and we can talk a little bit (and thank her for everything includes the After Forever/ReVamp era).
Really can't wait the new Nightwish DVD/Blu-ray (Decades Live) release this year! :)
The harmonies in this are amazing. Marco and Floor are my favorite pairing right now. They compliment each other very well.
May I suggest you check out some of the duets of Floor with Henk Poort? In my opinion just as good even if different.
3:25 gives me the chills everytime I listen to it! You can see how Tuomas is enjoying this version of the song while Floor totally controls the audience.

This is an excellent song that rarely gets credit for difficult intervals and harmonies
my god! i love this version!!!!
That's the NIGHTWISH I've been waiting for.
can't get enough of this, Dark Passion Play suits Floor perfectly
Guys, i know Floor is good, but let's show some love for this stunning solo at 2:40
I really love watching him play.
Emppu and his ESP 🎸.........no better sound. The man is rock solid
I can't get enough of this song lately!! This particular version, that is!
The last minute of this song has to be one of the most intense metal moments I have ever seen. Fucking awesome!
Go to watch Memento Mori, Kamelot, live version.
That howl though 😍 Tuomas looks like hes having so much fun as does the rest of the band.
Floor had a froorgasm in this one i think... The whooo at the end... Top song!
Floor the Warrior Princess. She is magnificent
My God, what a performance. There are no two better voices together. Miss you, Marko, and wish you well.
Floor is just sheer perfection. Tarja was great, I didn't think Annette was right for Nightwish, but Floor.... she's very versatile. Nobody can match up to the kind of range she has
Queen of Metal, true passion and talent. Great band.
This is a 100% pure rockmusical. WOW
Floor is truly something magical...
I just love when Marco and Floor sing together. It sounds so good. Magic.
Floor fucking nailing it! Fantastic song performed by fantastic musicians... love, love love!!!
I love Tuomas' face at 3:40. He's like, "It's coming....!"
4:36 she's the only one that can take you to hell or heaven. She's just perfect.
Tuomas, please don't let her go.
That's my favorite part of the song
Very true... the female Ronnie James Dio!
she's 2 feet taller than DIO was too
He wants this to be Nightwish forever no change of lineup ever 🤘🤘
Oh those 20 secs of Floorgasm...
Poor Marco is doomed to be forever underrated as a singer because he is always singing next to one of the best ever.
Well he can manage, he has his bass guitar and his great beard so he doesn't have to be sad🤘
He's amazing, even just standing there
As of May 24, he did release a solo album in Finland. Also, because the original is in Finnish, he will be re-releasing an English version as well.

I forget, "This is the long for gotten light at the end of the world" was one of the lyrics. I think it was from "Dark passion play". He is quite attractive also, once you see his face without the hair covering it up, love the hair too.

If Bruce Dickinson had been born female.... and had a box to stand on.... you'd get Floor …. the vocals, the range, the power, the stage presence, the showmanship.... precious few in all of music history have been the complete package
Maiden is my favorite band, I MUST laugh when you say about Bruce needing to stand on a box, he is kinda small isn't he? Floor is the best female vocalist I've ever heard and her stage presence is just "perfect" for a metal performer.
exactly... Maiden is my favorite band as well.... especially live having seen them over 30 times since 1982, just poking fun at Bruce's stature as he does himself... Floor's talents are unrivaled
@@WrathchildNH Lucky you, I've only seen Maiden Live once years ago the "Give me ed til I'm dead" tour. They'll be here again in August BUT, I will not be seeing them. Bruce is a real showman, he runs all over the stage and just makes it all exciting, well, he did back in well, when I had seen Maiden I can't even recall just WHEN that was.
that would have been in 2003.... with Motorhead and Ronnie James Dio as the 2 support bands, I saw that show in Montreal Canada... a warmup tour for the release of Dance of Death... that was a great show to see. have you ever heard any of Bruce's solo music... like this maybe... th-cam.com/video/vXClBjNxiOA/w-d-xo.html
Wow, love this and you are right!
This song makes me rock clean off the chair love ya work Marko you rock.great song thanks Nightwish.
The way Tuomas notches up the heaviness after the heroes/cowards section by varying the keyboard line - genius.
I'm very surprised Floor hasn't gotten into acting, either by her own desire, or someone picking her for a role. So much star power no matter what she is doing. She is the perfect superhero woman for whatever roles are coming up, film producers!
Some rock and metal stars do acting as a side line. Tuomas played a signifucant role in Imaginarium. Doro Pesch did well in Anuk: Path of the Warrior. Keith Richards had an ok role in Pirates. Anette was much more dynamic, so I can see her in films first beyond her playing that evil fairy. Even so, yes, Floor as a superhero, maybe as the sister of Wonder Woman (Floor is an Amazon and not the warehouse sort), or maybe as Freya, if they ever make a decent movie of Norse mythology.
@SteveNL It's true, at least after the 80-90s. Despite that, I could totally see Floor showing up in a musical flick.
She would make a better righteous villian I think. Doing bad shit for the right reasons
ANY show/movie that needed a valkyrie!
Floor has said she first realized her voice was unique when - to her own suprise - she was cast as the Narrator in a secondary school production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. She has said that when she is on stage she is playing the part of "Floor", the dynamo we see when she is performing. Her theatricality can sometimes be overlooked because of her incomparable vocal instrument.
Fact is, nightwish got life back once they decided to take floor as the lead volcalist, this precious woman is the meaning of power, what a fucking presence she is, and clearly she is a more versatil vocalist than the previous ones, now nightwish is a well oiled machine ready to conquer the world. Damn i feel like im love with this wonderful woman.
Marco is wonderful too!!!!
Floor is a beautiful godess metal singer
I love floor she goes hard look at her windmill hair
Massive. So freaking massive. If I was 20 years younger and still into sports competition this would be my pre-game song to bring me into the right mood. THIS IS WHERE HEROES AND COWARDS PART WAYS! Also, the way Floor and Marko compliment each other is amazing. The whole band is amazing in this version. Definitely one of my favorite NW live performances.
No singer of nightwish could cover Marco's voice in thickness before. Floor did it.And they don't have to lover the volume on the vocal parts anymore. LOVE FLOOR!!!
Класс. Скажу, что эта композиция не сразу зашла. Но чем больше слушаешь, тем больше она нравится. Я просто поражаюсь. Флор так головой машет и при этом у нее дыхание не сбивается. То есть насколько она все в себе уверена. Ну и на пару с Марко они звучат здорово. Респект всем.
All I have to say about this performance was perfectly enclosed in the sound Floor expressed at 7:11 - hands down, burning heart, fantastic experience
ALL Nightwish songs with Floor are Masterpieces. Hadn't heard and seen this one live before. Dam'n this is good music. It's not music anymore, it's a rocket through the galaxy and beyond.
Being fairly new to NW, I just keeping listening to different songs.....and every new one goes to the top of the list, until the next new one. LOVE this song.
Same here David. Discovered Nightwish and Floor 11 months ago 👍😊
Didn't use to like this song before, but hearing Floor sing it I've changed my mind
Same! I Love this song now
I know im in the minority but I like Anette verison of this song more. Especially for this song.
agreed i THINK IT IS HIGHLY underated
@@killuazoldyck6452 ANNETTE who ???
the way the instruments layer on top of each other in the beginning, that's brilliant
3:53 I get chills every time! what energy!!
This woman! Her voice! Her everything!! I love Tarja, I love Annette, but I love this woman more.
Her legs!
she's the complete package
Floor is just perfect... omg
I'm writing a book about two teenage brothers who become werewolves and if it gets published and turned into a movie, I'd love the Floor Jansen version of this song to be the theme
omg just saw this video for the first time and still have goosebumps!! Floor is such an amazing frontwoman.....
Love the energy and passion in this live performance, Floor and Marco combining their vocal talents, Tuomas headbanging on the keyboards near the end, and the rest of the band rocking hard.
This is the best nightwish live clip and I've seen many
I recently bought the Blu-Ray Vehicle of Spirit. It seemed i skipped an album with this song. I was at a concert in Amsterdam with Anette in 2012. Completely forgot this song. Is it the fireworks, is it the crowd, what happend ? No its Floor who nails it again ...
