In what country is Odin spelt with ah H and double N? Cuz its not in any Norse countries. If you go by the Edda as the original texts, its written in forn-norse (pretty close to modern Icelandic) and is spelled "Oden" or "Odin" (I dont remember) and with an Icelandic "d". If Oden or Odin is the correct spelling has been frequently debated among the Scandenavian people, probably for a thousand years, but no where, at any pont, in any country have I seen the spelling "Odhinn".

The dress is blue and white, finnish flag. The pattern is the DNA code. In this performance she was just a shy girl because her parents where flown in for the concert... imagine mama and papa looking for the first time.
I was waiting for this so badly! Best Nightwish song! It delivers a great message to the humanity to wake up and do the right thing. Fantastic reaction! Love you guys! ❤
Lol no, like it or not, Kanye is wayyyyyyy more well known than Nightwish. And he has been more successful. I loveeee Nightwish, but damn some of their fans suck ass.
@@jbo4547 Looking at my comment, I realize I should have been more clear.... Musically speaking, Kanye vastly pales in comparison. You are right in that he may be more well known and more successful, but how much of that is outside of music? Props to him for his hustle... What's that saying? There's a sucker born every minute? Someone somewhere may want to buy some ugly ass shoes, but that has nothing to do with being a talented musician. Popular does not equal talent. And while you love you some Nightwish# but some of their fans suck ass.... The same can be said for any artist, up to and definitely including Kanye. It's amazing how people are so quick to tear apart someone who is also giving an opinion, just like they themselves expect to be able to make an opinion. It works both ways....like that or not.
@@nicholas1928 "But how much of thag is outside music?" Lol dude just stop. Kanye has sold millions more albums than Nightwish and JUST musically is more/has been more relevant. Hip hop is just more popular and thats really it. Dont be a hater
@@nicholas1928 You aren't making a point. People on here are shitting on Kanye for no reason, its like its 2005 and you have to like one genre of music and everything else sucks and you have to shit on everything 'other'.
Tuomas = Mozart, and his work will stand the test of time. She was saying Yks, Kaks, Kolme (ONE TWO THREE in FINNISH) Before the part where she said We were here. The grunting noise was made by Marco Hietala. Kanye will be long forgotten for his music and remembered for his antics. These are real musicians, not samplers.
Floors parents being at this show….How proud they must be to see the positive and joyous effect their daughter and this band has on thousands of people must be almost overwhelming for them. Sensory overload… Nightwish style. The band that can call it “The Greatest Show on Earth” and deliver on all points…incredible
Was a shit reaction 👎 this guy hasn't a clue & all he did was talk about West singing it better 🙈👎 West couldn't even come close to Nightwish ! & you are right ! The fool didn't even watch the final ending & the message there ! He hasn't a clue ! He should stick to basic rap ! All you need for rap is to talk shit !
@Flawd TV: Hey guys. Just to let you know, this is the magnum opus of Tuomas, the keyboardist and composer for Nightwish. In this song, "The Greatest Show On Earth," Tuomas compresses 14.6 billion years of history -- 3.8 billion years being Earth's history -- into 24 minutes that is the ode to Planet Earth that Tuomas wrote. If you want to truly understand this song, I recommend two from Human :||: Nature: 1) Shoemaker. This song is dedicated to Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, who proved that craters on Earth were formed from collisions with asteroids and meteors from space. After he died in 1997, his ashes were put in an urn, and shot to the South Pole of the moon, given he was unable to go into space because of Addison's disease. He is the only person to be buried on an extra-terrestrial body in space. 2) All The Works of Nature That Adorn The World: Ad Astra. This is an instrumental piece by Tuomas that has part of "Pale Blue Dot" by Dr. Carl Sagan read while it plays. The person doing the reading is Geraldine Butler, a British actress, who has done spoken parts for Two Steps From Hell, an instrumental band. Edit: I notice you couldn't tell who was singing, so I will tell you: It is actually Marko, the tall blonde Viking-looking guy playing bass, who is singing the deep parts, including the Neanderthal grunts earlier. It was not Floor, despite the fact Floor can growl. (See Yours Is An Empty Hope, Nightwish Cruise.) Hope this clarifies the confusion!
Guys, I'm down with your reaction, views, opinions, and statements 100%. And I completely respect your willingness to put yourselves out there. That said... I hope you can understand 2 things. 1...the Nightwish Army is 100% ride or die. And 2...Kanye is a very polarizing person. I think most of us would agree that he's an insanely talented artist. But his public persona has been called into question more than once in recent years. No judgement, just saying. So when you suggest that he should sample (if that's what you're suggesting) a Nightwish song instead if creating original art...I think that's probably where you're losing people, especially when (other than Phantom of the Opera) Nightwish is known for purely original material. And finally, and I won't number this because it's more of a one-on-one hopeful message. I want you to keep doing what you're doing. And I want you to continue to keep saying what you're feeling...that's what makes you legit. But bro...and this is from one dude to another...you can't get butt hurt over everything anti someone says and straight up go after them. Believe me, I understand the need and the right to stand up for yourself. But this is TH-cam bruh. I hate to say it but you gotta learn how to swallow that sh*t, take it for what it is, and move on. Much love to you both.
I get the vague impression that you're a big Kanye fan. I was hoping to hear more about Nightwish and not Kanye. Have you heard Kanye live? It's not even close to his studio work. Comparing Kanye to Nightwish is like comparing a nursery rhyme to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
@@lawrencesmallacombe5089 i've seen a video of James Hetfield listening in on a Nightwish concert then afterwards James saying something and fist bumping with Floor. Kind of sweet.
I fell in love with Nightwish music over 23 years ago. I even have a tattoo of "Nighwish" on my forearm and an angel from the cover of "Once" on my arm. It's amazing that their music still moves me to tears to this day. It's a pity we'll never know what "The Greatest Show On Earth" would sound like if Tarja was still Nightwish vocal.
Had to laugh just a little! Tr-808 and Nightwish??? Yeah baby!!!! Wouldn't dare to propose this to Tuomas personally...he would open the door for me and kindly ask me to leave
love this guys the keyboard player writes 95 percent of the songs his nickname is metal mozart the shout is and another one coming and the last one in Finish shame you missed the ending of the song 🙂
Nice reaction, guys...really! Nightwish stands for Craflmanship, Top Musicianship... 99% of their Works are Masterpieces. Incomparable and never to be done better by any band. Real music. Real people. Dare to dream, use music for that! Subscribed.
Yo! This made my day! Thank you for this Ren-dition, the smile and just all around vibe that will influence the rest of my day and help guide me to being a boss! Its just too bad you are too good for a grammy because real artists like you are who should be receiving them! 💯Fax!
Now Romaticide from Wacken 2013 and then 7 Days to the Wolves 2015 from Wembley stadium. Ok and for all you folks in the chat....Troy was playing an Irish steel flute to start and then was playing Uilleann pipes afterwards. Pipes that use a bellows, instead of a bladder bag like bag pipes. They are pretty hard to play because you work the bellows under your arm while piping, instead of blowing into the reed to keep a bag full.
This is kanye this is kanye! that was truly annoying I wont lie and very farfetched. Go ahead and give an example, you have to the rest of your life and you wont come out with a single song like this from kanye or any rapper. Come on. And this song is incomplete without the ending.
You don't even know what you're talking about. I said Kanye would sound good rapping on top of the music. Nobody said Kanye and Nightwish are the same. Stop being an elitist.
Well, what i love most on your NW Recaps, is when the Lady apreciates Floor. From the first "sing it to me Bitch" shocking me in Ghost Love Score to This Performance, i feel she really digs the raw Power, yet Versatility of Floor. Strong Ladies dont have to proove, they do.:) Great recap, as before thx for it. Stay Healthy! NWA Bavaria North, Germany
Welcome back, my friends to the show that never ends! Every Nightwish song will have (1) plenty of unexpected twists and turns, (2) incredible, unselfish musicianship, and (3) a depth of composition that is spellbinding. They are worth your time. And . . you guys are always worth MY time in your reactions and in your live streams. Thanks!
How would I know that? It's the video I was asked to watch. If you actually watched the video, you would see that I didn't stop anything and the video ended.
Then you watched a bad version. Bad luck. Go watch again with the full version and watch all the way through until the very end of the credits. It one of those songs you need to listen to multiple times anyway to catch all the details. All the evolutionary info. All the musical evolution built in from the chanting, samples of minuet in D and Metallica. The techno and tribal drums. Harpsichord playing. It’s a genius piece of writing. The last section titled “the understanding” is Sir Richard Dawkins narrated.
@@jasong.5165 I'll pass. I'd rather not waste my time doing reactions that the audience is going to act like babies over because I don't think the same thoughts as them. I'll just stick to what I know and love.

A science lesson in a Song 👏👏👍 Nightwish Disciple from Australia 🇦🇺🏄♂️🍹
Unfortunately you picked a version without the full ending to the song. And yes, the guttural "caveman" sounds were being made by Floor, Marco (bass player) and Troy (guy on the flute and elbow pipes).
@@FlawdTV This was my first time watching a reaction of yours to a song. Personally I don't mind you talking, it's your channel and it's a reaction. On the other hand, I don't like music being sampled because that's not being original and it's lack of creativity imo, you kept saying I'm going to sample this. At last, I don't like your way of replying to the comments, especially when someone was giving you constructive criticism without being disrespectful. Doing it, it's up to you. Having said that, I don't think I'll watch a reaction of yours again. Regards and good luck with your channel.
@@marcelofarah8657 Welp, that part is fine. A lot of ppl don't like how I respond to my comments but I'm unapologetically me. A bunch of stans of some band I don't actually care about being mad that I like Kanye and talk on my video isn't constructive criticism. It's JUST criticism. & I'm critiquing the criticism. There's a lot of passive aggressive disrespect in the comments whether you'd like to acknowledge it or not. I'm just more direct with mine. Don't like how I respond to it? Don't comment. On the sampled music point, I love music being sampled.
When you have listen to the end of the gratest show on earth, that you didnt. And after the first 2 songs i told you to listen to then poet and the pendulem
You think this was good just wait for Poet and the Pendulum. I love how amazed you both were at the beginning just totally in awe of the music. Warms my heart to see you love this band. Great job both of you.
Sorry folk... dont wanna be to offending... but is Kanye really the only reference you know? Ever heard Bach? Mozart? Vivaldi? Little Richard? Beatles? Led Zeppelin? Prince? And thousands of great artists / componists more? Just because Kanye was/is really good in adapting stuff... he shouldnt be the only reference for someone. This is really a bit... thin. Did like you enjoying Nightwish. And of course wish a lot further enjoying Kanye... and Kanye... and Kanye... and maybe some more stuff. Dont understand me wrong: I dont wanna diminish Kanyes musical skills/achievements. Not a bit. He is certainly part of the looooooooooong row of great musical artists of human kind. But... there really are A LOT others. A LOOOOOT. You should go on checking out much more.
@@FlawdTV My suggestion: Dont reduce yourself. Being a fan of ONE artist is for me the real terrible take. Knowing that there are thousand of great artist has to do with "elitist" like knowing there is more than BurgerKing in restaurant and eating culture.
@@BoothTheGrey I'm a fan of many artists so that's another bad take. Kanye is my favorite artist but that doesn't mean I don't listen to or appreciate other artists.
@@FlawdTV "Another"... "bad"... "take"... wtf? I react to your reaction. Thats it. And you... obviously... have issues with this. Feel offended. By just a very simple impression that you did create yourself very simply by a very simple repetition you did several times. And now you think it is a "bad"... "take"... when someone points this out. How does it happen that so thin skinned people go into public? Anyway - wish you all the best for your channel and your kanye-fan-feelings that make you feel being offended if mentioned with a bit critique.
@@FlawdTV dude, just take the comments in man, dont be offended so easily. Sure, it's your channel and you can say whatever you want. But if you enable comments, we can also say what we want. Just respect that. Now I'm done here. Not returning. Enjoy Kanye.
Sadly the video you watched has the finale cut off... the full version from this show was 21 minutes long Also in reference to the primordial guttural sounds, it starts off as just Marko, then Troy joins in, and the last section is Marko, Troy, and Floor
That view of the stage Downlow, were you see the reflection of all the lights and all that it reminds me of the bridge from Thor I guess the rainbow bridge
Was amazing of Richard Dawkins, the voice over for this, to record for this song, and to come onstage at their London gig and do the voice part live. He is an amazing scientist. Very open minded of you to do such an Atheist anthem. Also, the constant comparison to Kanye is a bit odd. I highly doubt Nightwish would grant rights to their music to him
OK - I’m out - “this is Kanye”, 40 times, has got to be one of the dumbest reactions I’ve ever watched. Putting him into the same sentence is an insult to science, math and actual musical genius.
Glad you like it, but it looks as if you have no idea what it is about. That is too bad because then you would really be impressed. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Hey leave this guy alone! Lol! Rap is his point of reference. I get it, I found Nightwish looking through the lens of film music. Many similarities, but still 2 different animals. It's all good! Glad @FlawdTV found Nightwish to expand his musical universe. 💪🖖☺
Have you guys done Yours is an empty hope yet.....Marco sings clean during the chorus....Floor does the growling. One of the best versions of this is the Wembly 2015 version.
The flag mic is cringe, but the rest is good, so hey. You are better than most seppo's. PS: Quite technically, your current mic flag setup, makes it have more in common with the flag of Liberia (1 star) than your 50 stars. Your only 3 stars off, or is this promotion for Liberia, in which case, love it.
@@Vexed_Vixen Exactly. But also, why the flags and nationalism? You don't see it to that extent in other parts of the Western world. Most people that are content and know where they live, won't have to show that or express that in everything they do- it's cringe. Being proud of your country is okay, but taking it too far just makes you seem weak and sad.
@@letheas6175 it was directed at her and you. Silent support need not be acknowledged in the manner that you did it. A subtler approach would have been called for. However i also understand your stance, as considering their tom macdonald listens recently, i do believe her stance is rather clear
@@Vexed_Vixen I figured, hence why I didn't give you a like. But yeah, that's your opinion. A subtle aproach, in my opinion, has never worked against cringe nationalistic tendencies. You have to name it directly to be able for people to respond. And although she didn't take the advice, that you know, nationalistic cringe is bad. It is good that she can now see the ratio (people liking me/people liking her). So in the end, I feel I did something right. And it's perfectly okay if you disagree with my approach! To each their own opinion right :) Have a nice day fellow human.
14:09 Dinosaurs are now on the Earth. Shorty thereafter the asteroid that stunted the dinosaur age hit. hence the fire. Humans are not on the scene yet. 14:58 was human appearance.
If you're interested, tech9 did a song with a symphonic metal band named Within Temptation. The song is called and we run, its definitely worth a listen.
Did you just skip the ending? Or did you pick a subpar video that didnt include it? Either way, you missed it... The last couple of minutes of this performance is equally important as the rest of the performance. Its quite grand.
This is NOT Kanye and it should not be Kanyes in any shape or form; this is NIGHTWISH!

The dress is blue and white, finnish flag. The pattern is the DNA code. In this performance she was just a shy girl because her parents where flown in for the concert... imagine mama and papa looking for the first time.
Crap - they had seen her perform many times. If you think Floor is a "shy little girl" I suggest you go and have a word with yourself
I was waiting for this so badly! Best Nightwish song! It delivers a great message to the humanity to wake up and do the right thing. Fantastic reaction! Love you guys! ❤
Kanye touching Nightwish is like chucking a bucket of paint at the Mona Lisa. Just destroying art for fame.
Kanye couldn't sell bootleg T-shirts to a Nightwish show, that's how little he compares to a band like Nightwish.
Lol no, like it or not, Kanye is wayyyyyyy more well known than Nightwish. And he has been more successful. I loveeee Nightwish, but damn some of their fans suck ass.
@@jbo4547 Looking at my comment, I realize I should have been more clear.... Musically speaking, Kanye vastly pales in comparison. You are right in that he may be more well known and more successful, but how much of that is outside of music? Props to him for his hustle... What's that saying? There's a sucker born every minute? Someone somewhere may want to buy some ugly ass shoes, but that has nothing to do with being a talented musician. Popular does not equal talent. And while you love you some Nightwish# but some of their fans suck ass.... The same can be said for any artist, up to and definitely including Kanye. It's amazing how people are so quick to tear apart someone who is also giving an opinion, just like they themselves expect to be able to make an opinion. It works both ways....like that or not.
@@nicholas1928 "But how much of thag is outside music?" Lol dude just stop. Kanye has sold millions more albums than Nightwish and JUST musically is more/has been more relevant. Hip hop is just more popular and thats really it. Dont be a hater
@@jbo4547 You're still missing the point, but hey, if winning the popularity contest is the measuring stock for greatness in your world, carry on.
@@nicholas1928 You aren't making a point. People on here are shitting on Kanye for no reason, its like its 2005 and you have to like one genre of music and everything else sucks and you have to shit on everything 'other'.
Tuomas = Mozart, and his work will stand the test of time. She was saying Yks, Kaks, Kolme (ONE TWO THREE in FINNISH) Before the part where she said We were here. The grunting noise was made by Marco Hietala. Kanye will be long forgotten for his music and remembered for his antics. These are real musicians, not samplers.
Floors parents being at this show….How proud they must be to see the positive and joyous effect their daughter and this band has on thousands of people must be almost overwhelming for them.
Sensory overload… Nightwish style.
The band that can call it “The Greatest Show on Earth” and deliver on all points…incredible
A kanye beat?. Dude, Nightwish has been around longer, than kanye west .
And don't try to steal Nightwish's music, Tuomas would sue your a** off...lol
The song was not over but a great reaction.
Definitely not over
I THINK the video they played was over, but definitely missed the end.
They missed at least 4 minutes of this magical performance - but not surprised
Was a shit reaction 👎 this guy hasn't a clue & all he did was talk about West singing it better 🙈👎 West couldn't even come close to Nightwish ! & you are right ! The fool didn't even watch the final ending & the message there ! He hasn't a clue ! He should stick to basic rap ! All you need for rap is to talk shit !
This song feels like a hurrican. Its grows stronger and stronger any minute and in the end its unstoppable
This song makes me weep. Love it so much!
@Flawd TV: Hey guys. Just to let you know, this is the magnum opus of Tuomas, the keyboardist and composer for Nightwish.
In this song, "The Greatest Show On Earth," Tuomas compresses 14.6 billion years of history -- 3.8 billion years being Earth's history -- into 24 minutes that is the ode to Planet Earth that Tuomas wrote.
If you want to truly understand this song, I recommend two from Human :||: Nature:
1) Shoemaker. This song is dedicated to Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, who proved that craters on Earth were formed from collisions with asteroids and meteors from space. After he died in 1997, his ashes were put in an urn, and shot to the South Pole of the moon, given he was unable to go into space because of Addison's disease. He is the only person to be buried on an extra-terrestrial body in space.
2) All The Works of Nature That Adorn The World: Ad Astra. This is an instrumental piece by Tuomas that has part of "Pale Blue Dot" by Dr. Carl Sagan read while it plays. The person doing the reading is Geraldine Butler, a British actress, who has done spoken parts for Two Steps From Hell, an instrumental band.
Edit: I notice you couldn't tell who was singing, so I will tell you: It is actually Marko, the tall blonde Viking-looking guy playing bass, who is singing the deep parts, including the Neanderthal grunts earlier. It was not Floor, despite the fact Floor can growl. (See Yours Is An Empty Hope, Nightwish Cruise.) Hope this clarifies the confusion!
Appreciate this comment a lot. 🙏🏾
Guys, I'm down with your reaction, views, opinions, and statements 100%. And I completely respect your willingness to put yourselves out there. That said...
I hope you can understand 2 things. 1...the Nightwish Army is 100% ride or die. And 2...Kanye is a very polarizing person. I think most of us would agree that he's an insanely talented artist. But his public persona has been called into question more than once in recent years. No judgement, just saying. So when you suggest that he should sample (if that's what you're suggesting) a Nightwish song instead if creating original art...I think that's probably where you're losing people, especially when (other than Phantom of the Opera) Nightwish is known for purely original material.
And finally, and I won't number this because it's more of a one-on-one hopeful message. I want you to keep doing what you're doing. And I want you to continue to keep saying what you're feeling...that's what makes you legit. But bro...and this is from one dude to another...you can't get butt hurt over everything anti someone says and straight up go after them. Believe me, I understand the need and the right to stand up for yourself. But this is TH-cam bruh. I hate to say it but you gotta learn how to swallow that sh*t, take it for what it is, and move on.
Much love to you both.
I get the vague impression that you're a big Kanye fan. I was hoping to hear more about Nightwish and not Kanye. Have you heard Kanye live? It's not even close to his studio work. Comparing Kanye to Nightwish is like comparing a nursery rhyme to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
He will never get it
@@rg8829 True, but it should amuse others. 😊
she can roar like a thousand bears, dude.
Nightwish- Yours is an empty Hope, live at Wembley. she growls like the Valkyrie Queen she is.
I knew someone would beat me to it. =}
Yea, but we don't want this idiot talking over the top of it constantly telling us which rap artist could do it better.
I love how they paid tribute to the classics and through Metallica enter sandman rif in there. Thanks guys i enjoyed that one.
There's a video out there somewhere of Floor having a conversation backstage with James Hetfield.
@@lawrencesmallacombe5089 i've seen a video of James Hetfield listening in on a Nightwish concert then afterwards James saying something and fist bumping with Floor. Kind of sweet.
Floor is opening for Metallica THIS WEEKEND
@@richardwest6358 yeah i read that. Really fantastic news, imagine if James asked Floor to perform a song together that would be Amazing
I fell in love with Nightwish music over 23 years ago. I even have a tattoo of "Nighwish" on my forearm and an angel from the cover of "Once" on my arm. It's amazing that their music still moves me to tears to this day. It's a pity we'll never know what "The Greatest Show On Earth" would sound like if Tarja was still Nightwish vocal.
Had to laugh just a little! Tr-808 and Nightwish??? Yeah baby!!!! Wouldn't dare to propose this to Tuomas personally...he would open the door for me and kindly ask me to leave
Nightwish - "Over the hills and far away" is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a big piece for one who's relatively new to Nightwish
Why did you cut the ending off early?
They didn't cut it, the video they reacted to was already cut.
Did you watch the video?
Haha, the comments in the chat thinking floor is pushing her voice in the end 🤣
Right? One even said she sounded "sharp"
love this guys the keyboard player writes 95 percent of the songs his nickname is metal mozart the shout is and another one coming and the last one in Finish shame you missed the ending of the song 🙂
Krang was saying: this would be a great funeral song... This IS a funeral song for mankind (man, he took his time in the sun) 😞
dude stop with the kanye!
No.
Just love how you guys are just vibing while watching. /,,/
Nice reaction, guys...really! Nightwish stands for Craflmanship, Top Musicianship... 99% of their Works are Masterpieces. Incomparable and never to be done better by any band. Real music. Real people. Dare to dream, use music for that!
Subscribed.
Yo! This made my day! Thank you for this Ren-dition, the smile and just all around vibe that will influence the rest of my day and help guide me to being a boss! Its just too bad you are too good for a grammy because real artists like you are who should be receiving them! 💯Fax!
Floor can sound anyway she wants, and yep she can do opera and even guttural growls.
my only beef with the new Nightwish albums is knowing Floor is capable of so much more vocally than is shown
Now Romaticide from Wacken 2013 and then 7 Days to the Wolves 2015 from Wembley stadium.
Ok and for all you folks in the chat....Troy was playing an Irish steel flute to start and then was playing Uilleann pipes afterwards. Pipes that use a bellows, instead of a bladder bag like bag pipes. They are pretty hard to play because you work the bellows under your arm while piping, instead of blowing into the reed to keep a bag full.
the low grunting is all 3 of them
Stop going on about Kanya, this is music, tell Kanye to write his own music. All today's rap is commercial or as I call it C rap.
This is kanye this is kanye! that was truly annoying I wont lie and very farfetched. Go ahead and give an example, you have to the rest of your life and you wont come out with a single song like this from kanye or any rapper. Come on.
And this song is incomplete without the ending.
You don't even know what you're talking about. I said Kanye would sound good rapping on top of the music. Nobody said Kanye and Nightwish are the same. Stop being an elitist.
@@FlawdTV nobody is being an elitist, you just made a bad video. Dont take it personally. Do better
@@Vexed_Vixen OP is definitely elitist. How can you read that and NOT think "elitist prick"??
@@jbo4547 rappers dont make 16 minute rock ballads. Their music is different. Not better or worse as a rule, but absolutely different
I think the fireworks presents the " Big Bang " in evolution.
Well, what i love most on your NW Recaps, is when the Lady apreciates Floor. From the first "sing it to me Bitch" shocking me in Ghost Love Score to This Performance, i feel she really digs the raw Power, yet Versatility of Floor. Strong Ladies dont have to proove, they do.:)
Great recap, as before thx for it.
Stay Healthy!

Hey guys, greetings from UK
Another great reaction, thank you 😊
That part when it was a growl vocals was Marko te base player but in his native language cause this is a Finish band
Welcome back, my friends to the show that never ends! Every Nightwish song will have (1) plenty of unexpected twists and turns, (2) incredible, unselfish musicianship, and (3) a depth of composition that is spellbinding. They are worth your time. And . . you guys are always worth MY time in your reactions and in your live streams. Thanks!
Great reaction to this incredible performance. Loved every second of it. Thank you both. Nightwish fan and subscriber here for you.
You didnt finish it…you missed a big part of it. Richard Dawkins narration at the end. It’s a big part of this performance.
How would I know that? It's the video I was asked to watch. If you actually watched the video, you would see that I didn't stop anything and the video ended.
Then you watched a bad version. Bad luck. Go watch again with the full version and watch all the way through until the very end of the credits. It one of those songs you need to listen to multiple times anyway to catch all the details. All the evolutionary info. All the musical evolution built in from the chanting, samples of minuet in D and Metallica. The techno and tribal drums. Harpsichord playing. It’s a genius piece of writing. The last section titled “the understanding” is Sir Richard Dawkins narrated.
@@jasong.5165 I'll pass. I'd rather not waste my time doing reactions that the audience is going to act like babies over because I don't think the same thoughts as them. I'll just stick to what I know and love.
Fine. Heaven forbid you actually learn something and have more to say than “ that’s Kanye” every 5 seconds. 🤦♂️
@@jasong.5165 There's nothing to learn. It's a reaction to a band I'll never listen to outside of reactions because it's not what I'm into. Get over it you big baby.
Why is the beautiful ending to the song missing?
WHATS BEING PLAYED AND SUNG ON STAGE AND WHATS BEING PROSSED IN YOUR EARS AND BRAIN THERES NO COMPARISON THESEVPEOPLE AND THIS BAND ARE ARTISTS THE SHERE BRILLIANCE AND TALLANT OUT THERE IS SECOND TO NONE 😊
Originality, creativity and innovation are different things
A Masterpiece ! About Evolution ! The planet / plant life / animal life / & finally human life on our planet ! They even touch on what us humans have done on this planet like mushroom cloud ( Nuclear Bomb on Japan ) Brilliantly written Masterpiece ! A science lesson in a Song 👏👏👍 Nightwish Disciple from Australia 🇦🇺🏄♂️🍹
awesome track. awesome band. so much talent on display.
Kanye ?! LOL, Tuomas lost more talent last time he cut his hair, than Kanye ever had..
disagree
The piano stand is Groot, Tuomas is a great Disney fan.
You missed the end part which is really significant for the song.
It is her. Check out, Yours is an empty hope
I was at their show in the Ziggodome in Amsterdam last november.
Thanks for sharing this 👍
Unfortunately you picked a version without the full ending to the song. And yes, the guttural "caveman" sounds were being made by Floor, Marco (bass player) and Troy (guy on the flute and elbow pipes).
I didn't pick it. I'm a reaction channel that does what I'm requested to do.
@@FlawdTV Well whoever chose that particular Tampere version used one with the full ending to the song cut off. But whatever.
Do what your childish hat says then
@@richardwest6358 1/10 response
Guys your journey with Nightwish just began. Wait for a guy named Gabriel then you will see what is good.
Did you end up sampling this song at all? How did it go?
I think , you talk too much and dont listen enough , friendly greetings
Agree
I think you should watch someone else if you don't want to see me talk on MY channel. You want a different reaction, become a reactor.
@@FlawdTV This was my first time watching a reaction of yours to a song. Personally I don't mind you talking, it's your channel and it's a reaction. On the other hand, I don't like music being sampled because that's not being original and it's lack of creativity imo, you kept saying I'm going to sample this.
At last, I don't like your way of replying to the comments, especially when someone was giving you constructive criticism without being disrespectful. Doing it, it's up to you.
Having said that, I don't think I'll watch a reaction of yours again.
Regards and good luck with your channel.
@@marcelofarah8657 totally agree
@@marcelofarah8657 Welp, that part is fine. A lot of ppl don't like how I respond to my comments but I'm unapologetically me. A bunch of stans of some band I don't actually care about being mad that I like Kanye and talk on my video isn't constructive criticism. It's JUST criticism. & I'm critiquing the criticism. There's a lot of passive aggressive disrespect in the comments whether you'd like to acknowledge it or not. I'm just more direct with mine. Don't like how I respond to it? Don't comment. On the sampled music point, I love music being sampled.
When you have listen to the end of the gratest show on earth, that you didnt.
And after the first 2 songs i told you to listen to then poet and the pendulem
The Greatest Show On Earth is life itself.
You think this was good just wait for Poet and the Pendulum. I love how amazed you both were at the beginning just totally in awe of the music. Warms my heart to see you love this band. Great job both of you.
I think you to is the first ones to understand the greatest show on earth ++++++
Sorry folk... dont wanna be to offending... but is Kanye really the only reference you know? Ever heard Bach? Mozart? Vivaldi? Little Richard? Beatles? Led Zeppelin? Prince? And thousands of great artists / componists more?
Just because Kanye was/is really good in adapting stuff... he shouldnt be the only reference for someone. This is really a bit... thin.
Did like you enjoying Nightwish. And of course wish a lot further enjoying Kanye... and Kanye... and Kanye... and maybe some more stuff.
Dont understand me wrong: I dont wanna diminish Kanyes musical skills/achievements. Not a bit. He is certainly part of the looooooooooong row of great musical artists of human kind. But... there really are A LOT others. A LOOOOOT.
You should go on checking out much more.
You sound like an elitist.
Kanye is my favorite artist. Assuming I haven't heard other music because I'm a fan of Kanye is a terrible take.
@@FlawdTV My suggestion: Dont reduce yourself.
Being a fan of ONE artist is for me the real terrible take.
Knowing that there are thousand of great artist has to do with "elitist" like knowing there is more than BurgerKing in restaurant and eating culture.
@@BoothTheGrey I'm a fan of many artists so that's another bad take. Kanye is my favorite artist but that doesn't mean I don't listen to or appreciate other artists.
@@FlawdTV "Another"... "bad"... "take"... wtf?
I react to your reaction. Thats it.
And you... obviously... have issues with this. Feel offended. By just a very simple impression that you did create yourself very simply by a very simple repetition you did several times.
And now you think it is a "bad"... "take"... when someone points this out.
How does it happen that so thin skinned people go into public?
Anyway - wish you all the best for your channel and your kanye-fan-feelings that make you feel being offended if mentioned with a bit critique.
@@FlawdTV dude, just take the comments in man, dont be offended so easily. Sure, it's your channel and you can say whatever you want. But if you enable comments, we can also say what we want. Just respect that. Now I'm done here. Not returning. Enjoy Kanye.
Toumas and crew are delivering as per usual, btw Nightwish - Ghost love score
Tuomas ;-)
They did ghost love score
Dang surprised yall didnt do Poet and the Pendulum! You'd be blown away again!
Sadly the video you watched has the finale cut off... the full version from this show was 21 minutes long
Also in reference to the primordial guttural sounds, it starts off as just Marko, then Troy joins in, and the last section is Marko, Troy, and Floor
He doesn't seem the sort to appreciate it anyway
That view of the stage Downlow, were you see the reflection of all the lights and all that it reminds me of the bridge from Thor I guess the rainbow bridge
When you get a chance, go back and watch the finish . 2 more monologues from Richard Dawkins, that add to the already amazing performance.
Was amazing of Richard Dawkins, the voice over for this, to record for this song, and to come onstage at their London gig and do the voice part live. He is an amazing scientist. Very open minded of you to do such an Atheist anthem. Also, the constant comparison to Kanye is a bit odd. I highly doubt Nightwish would grant rights to their music to him
dawkins actualy ware on this one but is cut out from this video for some reason but there is a video from this consert whit him on here on the tube
was a little weird the whole K thing
Uilean pipes, elbow pipes-
Hearing Kanyes name over and over, over the music is destroying one of the best songs out there
OK - I’m out - “this is Kanye”, 40 times, has got to be one of the dumbest reactions I’ve ever watched. Putting him into the same sentence is an insult to science, math and actual musical genius.
Appreciate the engagement before you left 🤣🤣
@@FlawdTV That's about the intellectual level of response I expected.....
Glad you like it, but it looks as if you have no idea what it is about. That is too bad because then you would really be impressed. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
The deep noises are her too,she can growl
Hey leave this guy alone! Lol! Rap is his point of reference. I get it, I found Nightwish looking through the lens of film music. Many similarities, but still 2 different animals. It's all good! Glad @FlawdTV found Nightwish to expand his musical universe. 💪🖖☺
You got it in the end. ❤

No....just no.
@@SolFaithman Why's that?
“Math type shit” - yup…… at least we’ve set the baseline…..
Have you guys done Yours is an empty hope yet.....Marco sings clean during the chorus....Floor does the growling. One of the best versions of this is the Wembly 2015 version.
Kanye??? Who's Kanye? Is that the guy who slaughtered Bohemian Rhapsody. ROFL
The flag mic is cringe, but the rest is good, so hey. You are better than most seppo's.
PS: Quite technically, your current mic flag setup, makes it have more in common with the flag of Liberia (1 star) than your 50 stars. Your only 3 stars off, or is this promotion for Liberia, in which case, love it.
You're cringe for taking that from this video.
Politics doesn't need to be in everything
@@Vexed_Vixen Exactly. But also, why the flags and nationalism? You don't see it to that extent in other parts of the Western world. Most people that are content and know where they live, won't have to show that or express that in everything they do- it's cringe. Being proud of your country is okay, but taking it too far just makes you seem weak and sad.
@@letheas6175 it was directed at her and you. Silent support need not be acknowledged in the manner that you did it. A subtler approach would have been called for.
However i also understand your stance, as considering their tom macdonald listens recently, i do believe her stance is rather clear
@@Vexed_Vixen I figured, hence why I didn't give you a like. But yeah, that's your opinion. A subtle aproach, in my opinion, has never worked against cringe nationalistic tendencies. You have to name it directly to be able for people to respond. And although she didn't take the advice, that you know, nationalistic cringe is bad. It is good that she can now see the ratio (people liking me/people liking her).
So in the end, I feel I did something right. And it's perfectly okay if you disagree with my approach! To each their own opinion right :) Have a nice day fellow human.
Btw the growling you heard IS Floor
The growler was Troy, the guy with the flute and the Irish pipes
😁😂🤣 No, the growler was the guy who's responsible for the fireworks 😁😂🤣
Then watch the same song on the Wembley gig. There you see what you do not believe....
14:09 Dinosaurs are now on the Earth. Shorty thereafter the asteroid that stunted the dinosaur age hit. hence the fire. Humans are not on the scene yet. 14:58 was human appearance.
Kanye😂. That's a laugh. 😂
If you're interested, tech9 did a song with a symphonic metal band named Within Temptation. The song is called and we run, its definitely worth a listen.
Did you just skip the ending?
Or did you pick a subpar video that didnt include it?
Either way, you missed it...
The last couple of minutes of this performance is equally important as the rest of the performance.
Its quite grand.
So you missed the the last part of? Why!!!
about 3 or 4 notes we turn around and twist and after a few years every song sounds familiar :))
Hahahahahaa.... someone in their stream comments tried to claim Floor sounded "sharp"...... 😂😂😂😂😂😂
