That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band. @Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs. * The Tarja era *: Nightwish - Wishmaster [Live] th-cam.com/video/eJTlH521E6w/w-d-xo.html Nightwish - End Of All Hope [Live at the Summer Breeze festival 2002] th-cam.com/video/ESlyjQl90p0/w-d-xo.html NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera th-cam.com/video/tL25rbnvM4o/w-d-xo.html Nightwish - Dark Chest Of Wonder [Live End Of An Era 2005] th-cam.com/video/ROdKrGVVuI8/w-d-xo.html Nightwish - The Siren [Live End Of An Era 2005] th-cam.com/video/LUy8T_3kieI/w-d-xo.html @DeeDee80: Gabriel, would be good to add in the Tarja list "Pharaoh Sails To Orion" th-cam.com/video/ZpkH187t5Mk/w-d-xo.html .

I'm a hillbilly too, nothing wrong with it. Yep, she's amazing. The best part is, you haven't scratched the surface of what this woman can do. I think you need to hear her sing acoustic. Just her with Troy playing acoustic guitar. The song is called, "How's the heart" Planet Rock Acoustic Session. You need to feel a little something special? That's the one you want. Then come back and do every song in this concert. They are all good. All of them.
I have to giggle a little when you say Floor scares you because she is one of the sweetest most down to earth people you could ever meet. Floor is a true empath she doesnt just sing the song she feels the song,the music and the lyrics and then has the ability to project that back at the audience. If you wanna see Floor solo, she has a youtube channel and has uploaded covers and other fun videos. She even did her very own reaction to the Waken 2013 Ghost Love Score performance. You might also enjoy her time on the dutch TV show Beste Zangers in 2019. She sings in german, dutch, spanish and english on the show.
Floor has no need for autotune. I recommend Nightwish’s I Want My Tears Back, live in Buenos Aires. It has some cool folk music elements. If you want to hear the opposite of “devil music,” I recommend Epica’s Stabat Mater Dolorosa featuring Floor as a special guest.
Yeah, I think it would blow his mind completely, to realise that you could do a classical song about Jesus on the cross… in the middle of a metal concert, lol.
Hi. I just checked - the initial message is still there, at your Ghost Love Score reaction. But still, I left here a message with all the links. Apparently, it's partially visible (I can see it from another account only if I re--arrange the comments chronologically), so I suggest you to check for it in the spam section too. Hope you'll enjoy the ride :)
You posted on on the Tarja video here as well : th-cam.com/video/dRS6zCmNJq4/w-d-xo.html I copied and pasted it to this video as I hadn't seen this post from you yet. All good, he will find it! :)
Billy, Gabriel Bardac, our Nightwish general, reacted when you started “ghost love score”. Follow Gabriel in your travel and you’ll be happy every day!! Goodluck
"Follow gabriel.." -> instant association: saint archangel will lead your way :) (And no, not against or pro any specific religion, or them in general, just a mental image with a wibe resonating to all the valkyrie- etc stuff. Deep cultural meanings etc)
Speechless is a reaction. We are sooooo enjoying watching your reactions because...it reminds us of how we felt the first time we saw it. We still get the chills, goosebumps, and tears(Floorgasms), but you are reminding us of OUR original reaction. We're with you on each step of this adventure. US radio won't play Nightwish. The US music industry sucks. How about an investigative column in your newspaper as to WHY this band isn't more popular in the good old US of A. I'm in Maine, USA and stumbled on them by accident. BY ACCIDENT!!! Or I would still be missing out on something that has actually changed my life. There is so much more to this band and the members, current and past, and hopefully, you will, as you travel down the rabbit hole, check out some of the tunnels that branch off of the main shaft. Sorry about this. Just really love this band!
Watching someone fall in love with Nightwish never gets old. Tuomas is truly a genius often referred to as “the Metal Mozart. Their orchestral tracks are recorded by the London philharmonic. The choir and the children’s choir are also real. Marko, Empuu, Jukka, and Troy are each masters of their craft. And then there’s Floor, Queen of the Valkyrie, Metal Goddess. When Floor sings angels fall to their knees. But Floor doesn’t just sing. Floor will peel back the roof of your mind and pour emotion directly into your soul. She’s also a genuinely nice person. Liked & subbed.
Been enjoying your Nightwish reactions. If you REALLY want to see Floor subvert expectations….there’s a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers. Floor performed several very non-metal songs on that. Start with her rendition of Shallow. You will be amazed, and maybe even she’d a tear.
@10:33 “so she sings opera”🤣 O mio babbino caro Vilja lied Just to name a few…… Yes she sings opera. But wait til you hear her metal growl🤘🏻 Metal fans are not evil. I think the stigma is slowly slipping away with reaction videos and reactors branching out of their comfort zones. My dads side of the family is southern baptist and I wasn’t allowed to listen to “devil music” when I was a kid. I had to listen to ac/dc and Metallica on the down low while my parents were at work.
Yes, the concert is available to buy on DVD - Showtime, Storytime is the title; it should include the DVD and CD of the Wacken 2013 concert as well as the ‘Please Learn the Setlist in 48 hours’ documentary about the Imaginaerum tour and how Floor joined the band mid-stream.
It is available on amazon both as just the cd without video and they also have a cd+DVD or cd+ blu-ray version. I know this because I got irritated at seeing the gls reactions in my recommended so finally clicked on it. I then watched romanticide, flipped out, yelled at my boyfriend for not having any NW cd's then ordered showtime storytime that same day. I got the cd then realized the DVD video was available and I was devastated. My boyfriend surprised me with the DVD version for my birthday ❤ I also have vehicle of spirits and decades (with video 👍) its amazing how addicting they are.
I do NOT recommend buying the Blu-Ray of this concert. Something is wrong with the encoding and it plays ever so slightly slower than the DVD, which is rather annoying.
@@gusscheidt3413 nothing wrong with my version of the bluray?? Speed is correct pitch is correct, I'm sure Nightwish would have fixed that ages ago...I did buy mine direct from the Nightwish store though so there may be old stock out there elsewhere I guess.
Nightwish - Showtime Storytime available on DVD is the greatest musical production ever. The magic they captured at Wacken 2013 will be revisited for centuries to come. Every song leaves me in awe. Great reaction!
Hi Skeptical Hillbilly! Welcome to the Nightwish Army! Glad to have you! As you are discovering, there really is no "type" of person that is a fan of Nightwish and no "gatekeepers" that try to keep their little club pure. All that is needed is the taste to appreciate good music. (For my part, I only heard of Nightwish in 2019 and I'm a 45 year old Scottish born New Zealand Irishman currently living in England.) Nightwish is a band that is so skilled that their live performances ALWAYS beat their studio sessions hollow. (Which is the way it is supposed to be, I could rant for hours about the US recording industry that systematically promotes crap and devalues talent and has done so for decades.) "Storytime" is one of my favourites but all their songs are superb. I think you are beginning to see that one of Nightwish's key traits is their ability to not be imprisoned by a certain style. Their songs are all different. Best wishes on your journey of discovery into symohonic metal, there are many great surprises waiting for you!
I agree to disagree... It is your personality that keeps me coming back. You are awesome. I like the way it hits you and how genuine you are. Keep it up. We will be here 😊😉 Storytime is an amazing song. Another song that I really like and might give you chills with a totally different approach is The Islander, live from Tampere 2016. Marko taking the lead. Or you could Check the show opener, Dark Chest of Wonders live at Wacken 2013. Floor is amazing. Floor is on a league of her own... Also, having such musical geniuses next to yoy cannot hurt at all. The whole combo is mind blowing. Keep on reacting, much love and best wishes!
Nightwish is a Finnish band with a Dutch vocalist..our beautiful Floor and lets not forget Troy..British genius musician! Well the whole band is obviously brilliant imho.. Gabriel will show up soon..enjoy your journey. Greetings from the Netherlands 🤘
FLOOR JANSEN-ABOUT LOVE I DON'T KNOW A THING😊 She goes into that 90s country style that you like and she does it beautifully. Blow this comment up to get his attention guys✊✊
Fellow Southerner here, and you're reactions are perfect, my friend. Nightwish and Floor Jansen routinely leave people speechless. Floor was on a Dutch television show in 2019 called Beste Zangers. The show brought 6 different singers across several genres on, and each week one of them was in the "hot seat", and the others sang songs that in some way related to the person being sung too. Floor, in spite of being the lead singer of the largest symphonic metal band worldwide, was relatively unknown to her fellow countryman. Only one of the artists were aware of her at all, most just knew from the bio she was in a metal band. She was the first to perform on the series, and had dressed as metal as she could. The person she is singing to is Henk Poort, an opera and musical theater performer. She sang in German, one of 4 languages she sand on the show. th-cam.com/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/w-d-xo.html She also sang my absolute favorite version of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's "Shallow". She actually did it twice, once as a duo, and this solo version. th-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/w-d-xo.html
Been listening to NIGHTWISH for about 6 years, definitely the best band in the world right now. Every song is a journey, every song is different, I am from N.C. and very happy I found them . Dearing covid FLOOR JANSEN has been putting out cover songs for her fans and keeping her voice in tune. GO TO HER YT CHANNEL, IF YOU DARE. it's beautiful. Need to react to them.
Ever since I've found nightwish a few years ago, I've listened to predominantly female fronted metal like Jinjer, unleash the archers,epica,etc... Floor Jansen and nightwish changes you on an atomic level
They are the number one band in Europe right now! Wake up US! Europe have more of this kind of music, and other amazing band too! Nice reaction by the way! Cheers from Norway!
Welcome to the Nightwish army . This band should be on all the rock station radios in the world but unfortunately it's the same old crap that gets all the airtime. The emotions that this incredible band makes you feel is special and we love them I mean really love and support them . greetings from a fellow Nightwish soldier from England 🏴 UK 🇬🇧👍
Nightwish Army, Essex, England, here. In between reactions, can I suggest looking at Floor's own TH-cam page. The Fan Friday videos are brilliant, and show what she is really like when chatting. Strong woman, but humble and warm ar the same time. A real gem. Nightwish came into my life at a time when I needed something different and uplifting. And, boy, did they deliver.
Absolutely astonishing reaction... I literally cryof happiness whenever I see people that trully feel the magic of Nightwish. They insipire, they sooth, they are innocence and magic at the same time. This song is about the childhood innocence we all humans have inside of our adult shells... And once you try getting that out again as we once did, as we did back when we were kids... The world would be such a better place.... 1000 hugs and support thoughts from Romania you beautiful and innocent man that you have become !!!
Oh you're so adorable! Lol. Nightwish is a fabulous rabbit hole and you can't go wrong with Gabriel's list, heck you could just watch the whole wacken concert and be amazed! Then followup with Buenos Aires 2018, or end of an era with the original singer tarja, there's so many different paths you can take! Have fun with it man! 🤘❤️
Floor is from the Netherlands. In most schools there Dutch, French and English are taught. Her 6' 7" in husband is from Sweden, so she is learning Swedish. And her band mates are Finnish, so she is competent in that. Oh...also she sings in German and Spanish...amazing woman.
hi hillbilly, please keep in mind that Floor Jansen was with the Band just about 10 months, so...the songs / lyrics were not written to her voice. She got 48 hours to learn the setlist for the next gig.she f*****g nailed it.after finishing wacken 2013 reactions go straight to wembley, opener "Shudder before the beautiful" IS written for her voice ;)
You pronounced Floor Jansen as one of the best I ever heard of an American. She and Nightwish as a whole is definitely medicine for the soul. As a Flooraholic I can only say: '(at least) one Floorgasm a day keeps the doctor away'.
Hey there, skeptical hillbilly from Kentucky USA! Scrolling down the list of comments here I was a bit surprised at how many southern folk in the USA actually like Nightwish ^^ Kinda makes me feel not so "weird" after all :P Another really feel-good song by Nightwish is "I Want my Tears Back" in their concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2018 (?) I think it was. The crowd there was so into it and Floor just cut loose and was dancing all around and stuff. Great song live with a great vibe. I think you'll like it :)
Yes , Nightwish and Floor sounds great LIVE, she is the Singer of NW and she rocks like hell, from Opera to angelic and GROWLS, she is just has the moves to make this works, vocaly and stagepresence. I'm glad you like it . For me Floor is the singer of all her music and covers , they sound all exelent.
Floor is very unique, she can do all sorts of things with her voice, and yes she was classically trained in opera, also trained in other genres, and a vocal coach. She has 24 years experience being lead vocalist, Nightwish is her 3rd and final band. She was born to do this, she speaks like 8 languages. She is from the Netherlands, so she is Dutch, Nightwish is Finnish, so she has learned some Finnish, her husband is the drummer from Sabaton and they live in Sweden, so she speaks Swedish, she speaks German, I think she speaks Italian, and of course English. She blew my mind the first time I heard her voice, I did not think it was possible for a human to sing as well as she does, and still not convinced she is not really a Valkyrie Goddess. Loving your reactions.
I’m a 70 year old man and I just discovered Nightwish about a month ago. So don’t beat yourself up about never having heard them before. I found them in a rather circuitous rout. There is a band called “Disturbed” and they did a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence”. There are 2 versions, the official video and a performance on The Conan show. Listen to the Conan performance first. This is Sound of Silence like you have never heard before. Strap in … it’s a real ride!!!!👍
Hi Floor is awesome and so is the band. You should react to Floor singing O Mio Bambino Caro live with Revamp,because the crowd is quiet while she sings. Revamp is her 2nd band. This whole concert is amazing. Floor is Dutch and the band is Finnish except for Troy and she lives in Sweden with her Swedish Husband Hannes and daughter Freya. FYI her husband Hannes is the drummer for Sabaton. Floor speaks Dutch, English,Swedish and some Finnish which is a hard language. She has one year of classical training or opera.
Thank you for the kind words 👍 - we are just some hundred of thousands dedikated fans, who wants to get people aware of the this wonderful music. (you will unfortunately also meet some haters / trolls - around 5 - just ignore and block them👍 The reason why you will never hear Nightwish and / or Floor Jansen in the "money controlled" radio and TV. 1. Nightwish and Floor are independent - no contract forces them to make music they don't want to - just to make shareholders and themselves richer. 2. The commercial music have certain rules like a max of 3 - 4 minutes pr song. In Nightwish's opinion, it's not possible to tell a deep and meaningful story, in that time slice - they simply don't have that short songs. I will give you a example: In 1999 a total Solar Eclipse appeared over Europe (Germany I believe) - and therefore Tuomas from Nightwish got the task from their German record company, to create a radio friendly song, at max 4 minutes - about the Solar Eclipse. Due to contracts etc etc, Tuomas was forced to write the song - but he made it longer!!! - it wouldn't be possible to give the audience an experience otherwise. The song is a phenomenal beauty of a ballad un Floor's interpretation from Tampere 2015 - and I think you should react to it. Floor spellbinding 24.000 people by her incredible singing - and you will see another side of her abilities - and how they cooperate on stage. It's just great - look how she hands it to Emppu when it is his turn to shine. This is 6 people working together to give the audience the ultimate experience of each song - always. Sleeping Sun - Tampere 2015 th-cam.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/w-d-xo.html 3. Floor have done some covers like "Shallow" and others - and it's mind blowing. She outmatces every known pop queen ever existed - by light years!! And that's being a serious threat on someone's investments.... You do the math.. *** The Wacken 2013 show is on "Showtime / Storytime" The Wembley 2015 & Tampere 2015 are on "Vehicle of Spirit" & The Buenos Aires 2018 is on "Decades" & And Human Nature from 2020 is not available on live yet, "Human Nature" Just go to their official website "Nightwish. Com" and order what you want. *** Floor is the most humble, caring and kind person you can think of - with a GREAT sense of humor. I would recommend you to join her YT Channel, she gives us fans lot of personal stories plus covers of other songs - and they are mind blowing!! Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘
Your "Floor Jansen" pronunciation was actually pretty much perfect! And I would hazard a guess that she probably speaks at least 4 languages, she is Dutch of course, fluent in English as you know, but she also lives in Sweden and speaks Swedish, and she understands Finnish quite well, too. This is not entirely uncommon for Europeans though, everyone here lives with so many other languages surrounding us, it's hard not to pick up a few. English, of course, is ubiquitous and in many European countries, it is mandatory learning, in addition to our native language(s). I'm loving your videos by the way. There's something magical and heartwarming about watching someone discover something that I already love! And hey, it's okay not to like everything as well - we are all different and like different things, often it is good to get another perspective. Do as you wish of course! Greetings from the Norwegian countryside 🇳🇴
Hi sir, there were 82,000+ people in the audience and what some reactors think of crowdsurfing, is transporting brocken down, squished people to the security/EMTs to get help. Wacken is the biggest heavy metal festival on earth and the "Holy Grail" for every metal musician. So told by a guitar teacher, who is a metal musician.
Welcome to the journey my friend! Don't be ashamed for not knowing them before. Not knowing is not a shame, not wanting to know would be. Keep listening to their songs, almost in any order. If I might suggest something though, leave The Poet And The Pendulum for later when you know a lot more about them and their history. Also, maybe you shouldn't tackle The Greatest Show On Earth for a while. You should become more familiar with this kind of music and sound before jumping into something that complex and meaningful. Throughout the journey you will get surprise after surprise, shock after shock. This is what Nightwish does, they make you expect one thing and then deliver something completely different and so much better! If you have the time, take a look at the lyrics too sometimes, it's pure amazing poetry. Tuomas Holopainen is truly one of the greatest creators alive today. People call him Metal Mozart and while that might be a bit of an exaggeration when it comes to technique or even knowledge of music, it's not one when it comes to creativity, imagination and the rare capacity to be completely honest, to bare his soul in front of everyone.
Since you listen to country, I think you'll really enjoy Floor Jansen singing "I don't know a thing about love". It's from a Dutch TV show called "Beste Zangers".
No please don’t stop focusing on the band, they all deserve the attention. There’s no band without the musicians. Also yes we speak English well in Northern Europe, we get it in elementary schools and often we speak about atleast 3 languages on average.
I'm envious of people who can speak multiple languages. When you start young before your "mental wiring" is solidified, it is easier than we Americans who try to learn a language later in life. Something about "teaching old dogs, new tricks." haha.
@@gordonbarton8440 hahaha, well, we know less words but I think the easiest way to learn english is to get rid off the subtitles.....soon you will understand what they`re saying.
Hey mate, one of your questions really stood out to me. "have you heard what they play on the radio these days?". Well Yes we have, and thats why we love Nightwish so much! You've definatly lost your Floorginity, now just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Floor Jansen, perfect pronounciation!!! the name Floor is derived from Flora, the roman goddess from flowers and spring, she is an amazing woman in a band with amazing guy's , such nice people, nothing evil about them or their music. One couldn't be Nightwish without the others, a perfect match. Thank you for your reaction, see you at the next one, greetings from the Netherlands, bye
We all love your honest approach, so no need to apologize. Just as another thing for you to check out, "Beste Zangers 2019". It's a Dutch TV show and Floor was one of the participants, she sang in multiple languages, different genre's, and styles. It's not a competition, just some really talented singers singing for each other. Pretty cool, and it really shows Floor's range. Give it a shot, if you have time. ;-)
03:11 Floor "windmilling" 😁 06:50 yes, they have a website you could buy it from, but the whole show is available here on TH-cam as a start to finish concert; as is the show at Wembley Arena. That concerts DVD is called "Vehicle of Spirit " Floor (Yawn-sin) IS the singer of choice. 🤣. She was trained classical, so yeah, she sings opera. 😏 Bro, I told you to to invite the Nightwish Army to your channel. I knew you’d love the passion the fans, and appreciate the support. 👍🏻👍🏻. I wish Ann Waychoff was still alive. She was our super fan and when she posted to a reviewers channel, it was always full of nothing but love, wisdom, and support for the band and the reviewer. She is missed. 😢 💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙 Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army
Floor also sings in a handful of different languages. Dutch, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, and ofc English. Metal is just high-energy music to me. I always thought that Bluegrass is just metal for country folk. Enjoy your reactions. Cheers.
She also sings Latin (Stabat Mater Dolorosa with Epica) and German (Vilja Lied on Beste Zangers). I don't recall her singing anything in Swedish. She totally could of course, but I have never seen anything on the Internet. Do you have a link?
@@franshinlopen2166 Iirc, it was one song she sang during a Christmas special, during the time she was pregnant. I've seen so many I can't recall the video, sorry.
Watch The Islander by Nightwish at Tampere for an entirely different take on the band. Floor comes in towards the end doing backing vocals, and as always does it beautifully.
From one hillbilly to another. Keep up the reactions whenever you have time brother. There's a whole lot of great Nightwish videos out there, one of my favorites is The Islander (live from Tampere) it's got a little different sound to it. Nightwish has a huge range of styles and they are all amazing. Something else you may enjoy is Ayreon- The Day That The World Breaks Down is a good one to start with. Arjen Anthony Lucassen is one of the best composers alive and only uses the best musicians and vocalists in his projects. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
NW Army from NYC branch reporting for duty! What you witness from this group is pure talent. Your reaction is priceless it's okay if NW leaves you speechless. Now each song has different stories of it's own. Unfortunately when it comes to the music industry of this country they focus on the outer appearance than the quality and talent of groups that is not of this caliber. Keep going on this journey it gets better. Enjoy the ride! ☺
i started down this rabbit hole about 3months ago..i haven't stopped listening to this band since..here in the states we got cheated cuz this band wasnt more main stream..but i feel that the band is defintly growing because of reactions. so keep it up your doing a great job hillbilly..ROCK ON!
You have no idea the world your are about to enter. One of the best live bands out there with a singer than can bring a grown man to tears. It's a journey that you will thoroughly enjoy. Welcome to the Nightwish army!
Because you mentioned the language thing - she's Dutch, living in Sweden, singing in a Finnish band. And besides English in which she normally sings, she sang on previous occasions in at least German and Spanish.
Hello from the foothills of NC!! Kinda funny how us southern rock fans can be so moved by a Finnish symphonic metal band isn't it? Nightwish is really something special. I found them about a year ago. Welcome to the rabbit hole!! Have fun and great channel!!
Hey bud, N Georgia? We might need to have a beer somewhere around Chattanooga/Dalton sometime my friend as I'm in the area! Enjoying your reactions and would enjoy talkin' Nightwish with you. As an old fart, I understand being unable to find the words since this music is soooo different from what we grew up with but have become drawn to and obsessed with (in my case anyway) since discovering them at the beginning of Covid. Regardless, looking forward to your future NW reactions!
Floor sings everything. If this was a US band they would be continuous chart-toppers. Unfortunately they are not well known in the US. Also, their songs fall outside the range of the 3-4 minute songs that radio stations play because they want to jam in many songs in a short period of time. I buy their albums and listen to them on TH-cam. Gabriel's list is at the top of your Ghost Love Score at Wacken reaction. 😀🤘
I love your genuine, honest reactions! I think metal gets a bad rap because people don't know that there are many different types of metal genres. You'll find that metal heads are some of the kindest, welcoming people, especially if you like our favorite bands, lol! Can I suggest one of my favorite bands, Caligula's Horse- the songs Turntail or Firelight. I think you'll like them.
Hey Hillbilly, congratulations, you are the first American I hear pronouncing her name right the first time. Untill now, the QUEEN has sung in Englisch, Dutch, German, Spanish, Latin, Finnish and Swedish. She speaks fluently English, Dutch and Swedisch.
Being from the US myself I understand what you mean about how she sings live. In Europe the vocalists seem to be much better and better trained than here in the US. Our radio stations and big media cram crappy singers that are enhanced by autotune and are from tv shows down our throats because they make money from it. This drowns out beautiful vocalists like this and many others from Europe and Asia we never get to hear on the radio. If you want good music TH-cam has much more than we get exposed to in the US.
I applaud your honesty. I revel in your reaction. I think you're terrific. And I'll tell you this I love Nightwish. It's a newfound obsession. But like each and every musical band or orchestra or symphony there are some selections I don't care for. And you know what that makes me human. I happen to love this one honestly for its musicality. I have to be honest I don't understand all of the words. My obsession came with the first song I listened to from Nightwish which was the astonishing Ghost Love Score. It was a major shift in my musical delights. You can't go back from here and I love it. Keep on keeping on bro you're doing fantastic. ✌️💕
To get you going with the discs-- Showtime, Storytime is available-- this concert and it's BOTH DVD and CD. ALSO a must-have-- Vehicle of Spirit, a five disc set of both DVDs and CDs which is the Wembley and Tampere shows. THAT should keep you going for a little bit then we can go for their latest album which is a stunner of course as well.
There are tracks we're calling "the big 3"- "Ghost Love Score" (Wacken), "The Poet & The Pendulum" (Wembley) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere). Some might argue the latter should be Wembley, but being an indoor venue they couldn't show their full stage display due to fire safety regs- which I say detracts from their full effect. Tampere stadium had the full show, better lighting and clearer audio so I recommend that one...
I also recommend the Tampere version of Greatest Show on Earth - it's got a slightly different arrangement than the Wembley version as well as the full stage display. That said, the Wembley version is also very good, and does have a surprise at the end. Honestly? React to whichever one, but watch the other as well, for your own entertainment. Same thing with I Want My Tears Back - the Wacken version has some great interactions between the band members, including Emppu (the little guy on guitar) pranking Floor by muting/unplugging her IEMs, while the Buenos Aires version has some amazing audience energy and a crazy dancing Floor. For that matter, there's a fan-cam of the same song from Helsinki 2018, in which there's more Floor and Emppu silliness - she tries to get him to dance, he runs away! And spends the whole song playing keep-away from her, lol!
Great reaction. It's nice to see people open up their minds to new music, and Nightwish is a great way to do that. To be warned they do have some heavier songs or that have names that might put you of, like "the devil and the deep dark ocean" witch is a very theatrical song and has an amazing live performance from them in Buenos Aires. Also, they do have songs that is better to check out the story behind them, like "the poet and the pendulum" (a song very close to the hearts of the Nightwish fans and one that is very personal for the composer and writer of this band, the keyboardist), "Shoemaker" (a song about a scientist that is the only person to have his ashes on the moon) or "the greatest show on earth" (a song about the evolution of this planet, which, even if you don't believe in scientific creation it's still a very good song with a beautiful journey). And.. To close this long message.. I think for the next one for you to try "I want my tears back" live at Buenos Aires so you can see Troy (the newest member) and to see how they are in a different concert. Stay safe 🤘😁🤘
New sub from the Netherlands, coming for more reactions to nightwish! You’re doing great, your the first one that pronounces Floor Jansen the correct way after only three songs!😁
Nothing better for the soul than our queen Floor singing!!!! Cheers and spread the word this band needs to be bigger here in the USA!!!..and definitely check out all Floors performances on the Dutch show Beste Zangers
Funfact: Floor speaks a numerous of languages and has according to a Spanish/dutch artist who she covered a great pronouncination. Just after she joined Nightwish she learnt Finnish, which is a language more close to Russian. Joining the band healed her soul. She was burnt out and overworked when Tuomas called her at her sisters wedding. Touring with NW made her meet the 10 year younger drummer of Sabaton, whom she now has a daughter, living at a farm in Sweden. And yes... Floor speaks some Swedish.
I too am a hillbilly and also a huge Nightwish fan. Nightwish fans come from pretty much all backgrounds and nationalities and there's so many good folks in the Nightwish army
This song is one of my favorites! Geniously written from the perspective -- not from the storyteller -- but the entity of storytelling. I am the voice of Never Never Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan The lyrics really take me back to my childhood! Even the way the song is composed. It takes you on an imaginary journey with a happy ending.
Btw. Our (Dutch) Floor speaks Dutch (😉), English, Swedish (married to the Swedish drummer of Sabaton), Finnish and also sings in German and Spanish (Dutch tv-show "Beste Zangers" season 2019). Btw2. If you like Wacken, a big crowd (80.000 plus) and like a great interaction between crowd and band, watch a German band called *BLIND GUARDIAN* live at Wacken 2016 with *_”The Bard’s Song & Valhalla”_* : th-cam.com/video/i-IcX_bccFc/w-d-xo.html Btw3. Another (Dutch) band, liked by mant Nightwish fans is *EPICA* : Live (Retrospect show) - *_"Sancta Terra"_* : th-cam.com/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/w-d-xo.html (duet with Floor). The lead singer of the band is Simone Simons, who is one of Floor's BFF's and former roommate.

By @Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: th-cam.com/video/cAwtzi7Q3Bk/w-d-xo.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

:)
Gabriel is so kind and such a great spokesperson. Thanks for your contributions to this fantastic band!
Doing God's work, Gabriel.
Well one can always count on Gabriel !
GENERAL GABE!!!
You are not the only southern baptist to be entranced by NIGHTWISH....im a mississippi girl born and raised and love this group.
I'm a hillbilly too, nothing wrong with it. Yep, she's amazing. The best part is, you haven't scratched the surface of what this woman can do. I think you need to hear her sing acoustic. Just her with Troy playing acoustic guitar. The song is called, "How's the heart" Planet Rock Acoustic Session. You need to feel a little something special? That's the one you want. Then come back and do every song in this concert. They are all good. All of them.
I have to giggle a little when you say Floor scares you because she is one of the sweetest most down to earth people you could ever meet. Floor is a true empath she doesnt just sing the song she feels the song,the music and the lyrics and then has the ability to project that back at the audience. If you wanna see Floor solo, she has a youtube channel and has uploaded covers and other fun videos. She even did her very own reaction to the Waken 2013 Ghost Love Score performance. You might also enjoy her time on the dutch TV show Beste Zangers in 2019. She sings in german, dutch, spanish and english on the show.
Floor has no need for autotune. I recommend Nightwish’s I Want My Tears Back, live in Buenos Aires. It has some cool folk music elements. If you want to hear the opposite of “devil music,” I recommend Epica’s Stabat Mater Dolorosa featuring Floor as a special guest.
Exactly what I was thinking….
Yeah, I think it would blow his mind completely, to realise that you could do a classical song about Jesus on the cross… in the middle of a metal concert, lol.
Do it!
Hi. I just checked - the initial message is still there, at your Ghost Love Score reaction. But still, I left here a message with all the links. Apparently, it's partially visible (I can see it from another account only if I re--arrange the comments chronologically), so I suggest you to check for it in the spam section too. Hope you'll enjoy the ride :)
You posted on on the Tarja video here as well : th-cam.com/video/dRS6zCmNJq4/w-d-xo.html
I copied and pasted it to this video as I hadn't seen this post from you yet. All good, he will find it! :)
Thanks brother! I’ll check it out
Billy, Gabriel Bardac, our Nightwish general, reacted when you started “ghost love score”. Follow Gabriel in your travel and you’ll be happy every day!! Goodluck
"Follow gabriel.." -> instant association: saint archangel will lead your way :)
(And no, not against or pro any specific religion, or them in general, just a mental image with a wibe resonating to all the valkyrie- etc stuff. Deep cultural meanings etc)
I'm a hillbilly from WV- and Nightwish went quickly from being on my playlist to essentially BEING my playlist. Love your reactions!
Speechless is a reaction. We are sooooo enjoying watching your reactions because...it reminds us of how we felt the first time we saw it. We still get the chills, goosebumps, and tears(Floorgasms), but you are reminding us of OUR original reaction. We're with you on each step of this adventure. US radio won't play Nightwish. The US music industry sucks. How about an investigative column in your newspaper as to WHY this band isn't more popular in the good old US of A. I'm in Maine, USA and stumbled on them by accident. BY ACCIDENT!!! Or I would still be missing out on something that has actually changed my life. There is so much more to this band and the members, current and past, and hopefully, you will, as you travel down the rabbit hole, check out some of the tunnels that branch off of the main shaft. Sorry about this. Just really love this band!
Watching someone fall in love with Nightwish never gets old. Tuomas is truly a genius often referred to as “the Metal Mozart. Their orchestral tracks are recorded by the London philharmonic. The choir and the children’s choir are also real. Marko, Empuu, Jukka, and Troy are each masters of their craft. And then there’s Floor, Queen of the Valkyrie, Metal Goddess. When Floor sings angels fall to their knees. But Floor doesn’t just sing. Floor will peel back the roof of your mind and pour emotion directly into your soul.
She’s also a genuinely nice person.
Liked & subbed.
I love Nightwish and I'm from Finland also. You are really sweet, thanx for the reaction. Waiting for new ones:)
Welcome to Nightwish. There really are some of us in the US that appreciate them. Even from more than a decade ago.
Dude, don't put yourself down, you seem a great guy and we're all really enjoying your reactions - keep em coming my friend 🤘
Been enjoying your Nightwish reactions. If you REALLY want to see Floor subvert expectations….there’s a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers. Floor performed several very non-metal songs on that. Start with her rendition of Shallow. You will be amazed, and maybe even she’d a tear.
highly recommend that.
Oops, I just posted this before I read your comment. Sorry. haha.
@10:33 “so she sings opera”🤣
O mio babbino caro
Vilja lied
Just to name a few……
Yes she sings opera. But wait til you hear her metal growl🤘🏻
Metal fans are not evil. I think the stigma is slowly slipping away with reaction videos and reactors branching out of their comfort zones. My dads side of the family is southern baptist and I wasn’t allowed to listen to “devil music” when I was a kid. I had to listen to ac/dc and Metallica on the down low while my parents were at work.
Yes, the concert is available to buy on DVD - Showtime, Storytime is the title; it should include the DVD and CD of the Wacken 2013 concert as well as the ‘Please Learn the Setlist in 48 hours’ documentary about the Imaginaerum tour and how Floor joined the band mid-stream.
It is available on amazon both as just the cd without video and they also have a cd+DVD or cd+ blu-ray version. I know this because I got irritated at seeing the gls reactions in my recommended so finally clicked on it. I then watched romanticide, flipped out, yelled at my boyfriend for not having any NW cd's then ordered showtime storytime that same day. I got the cd then realized the DVD video was available and I was devastated. My boyfriend surprised me with the DVD version for my birthday ❤ I also have vehicle of spirits and decades (with video 👍) its amazing how addicting they are.
I do NOT recommend buying the Blu-Ray of this concert. Something is wrong with the encoding and it plays ever so slightly slower than the DVD, which is rather annoying.
@@gusscheidt3413 nothing wrong with my version of the bluray?? Speed is correct pitch is correct, I'm sure Nightwish would have fixed that ages ago...I did buy mine direct from the Nightwish store though so there may be old stock out there elsewhere I guess.
Nightwish - Showtime Storytime available on DVD is the greatest musical production ever. The magic they captured at Wacken 2013 will be revisited for centuries to come. Every song leaves me in awe. Great reaction!
The DVD is the Showtime, Storytime DVD. You can find it on amazon.
Hi Skeptical Hillbilly!
Welcome to the Nightwish Army! Glad to have you! As you are discovering, there really is no "type" of person that is a fan of Nightwish and no "gatekeepers" that try to keep their little club pure. All that is needed is the taste to appreciate good music. (For my part, I only heard of Nightwish in 2019 and I'm a 45 year old Scottish born New Zealand Irishman currently living in England.)
Nightwish is a band that is so skilled that their live performances ALWAYS beat their studio sessions hollow. (Which is the way it is supposed to be, I could rant for hours about the US recording industry that systematically promotes crap and devalues talent and has done so for decades.)
"Storytime" is one of my favourites but all their songs are superb. I think you are beginning to see that one of Nightwish's key traits is their ability to not be imprisoned by a certain style. Their songs are all different.
Best wishes on your journey of discovery into symohonic metal, there are many great surprises waiting for you!
I agree to disagree... It is your personality that keeps me coming back. You are awesome. I like the way it hits you and how genuine you are. Keep it up. We will be here 😊😉
Storytime is an amazing song. Another song that I really like and might give you chills with a totally different approach is The Islander, live from Tampere 2016. Marko taking the lead.
Or you could Check the show opener, Dark Chest of Wonders live at Wacken 2013.
Floor is amazing. Floor is on a league of her own... Also, having such musical geniuses next to yoy cannot hurt at all. The whole combo is mind blowing. Keep on reacting, much love and best wishes!
no more to say
Spotify has this show called "Showtime / Storytime" or their is the DVD
Romanticide will really render you speechless. Floor and Marko(the bassist) will amaze you with the insane harmonies.
Nightwish is a Finnish band with a Dutch vocalist..our beautiful Floor and lets not forget Troy..British genius musician! Well the whole band is obviously brilliant imho.. Gabriel will show up soon..enjoy your journey. Greetings from the Netherlands 🤘
FLOOR JANSEN-ABOUT LOVE I DON'T KNOW A THING😊
She goes into that 90s country style that you like and she does it beautifully. Blow this comment up to get his attention guys✊✊
This will blow his mind.
Fellow Southerner here, and you're reactions are perfect, my friend. Nightwish and Floor Jansen routinely leave people speechless. Floor was on a Dutch television show in 2019 called Beste Zangers. The show brought 6 different singers across several genres on, and each week one of them was in the "hot seat", and the others sang songs that in some way related to the person being sung too. Floor, in spite of being the lead singer of the largest symphonic metal band worldwide, was relatively unknown to her fellow countryman. Only one of the artists were aware of her at all, most just knew from the bio she was in a metal band. She was the first to perform on the series, and had dressed as metal as she could. The person she is singing to is Henk Poort, an opera and musical theater performer. She sang in German, one of 4 languages she sand on the show. th-cam.com/video/lcLG5X1i2QM/w-d-xo.html
She also sang my absolute favorite version of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's "Shallow". She actually did it twice, once as a duo, and this solo version. th-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/w-d-xo.html
Been listening to NIGHTWISH for about 6 years, definitely the best band in the world right now. Every song is a journey, every song is different, I am from N.C. and very happy I found them . Dearing covid FLOOR JANSEN has been putting out cover songs for her fans and keeping her voice in tune. GO TO HER YT CHANNEL, IF YOU DARE. it's beautiful. Need to react to them.
Ever since I've found nightwish a few years ago, I've listened to predominantly female fronted metal like Jinjer, unleash the archers,epica,etc... Floor Jansen and nightwish changes you on an atomic level
Could not agree more, Within Temptation,Elysion, Amaranthe,Semblant,Visions of Atlantis just to name a few
They are the number one band in Europe right now! Wake up US! Europe have more of this kind of music, and other amazing band too! Nice reaction by the way! Cheers from Norway!
Welcome to the Nightwish army . This band should be on all the rock station radios in the world but unfortunately it's the same old crap that gets all the airtime. The emotions that this incredible band makes you feel is special and we love them I mean really love and support them . greetings from a fellow Nightwish soldier from England 🏴 UK 🇬🇧👍
Nightwish Army, Essex, England, here.
In between reactions, can I suggest looking at Floor's own TH-cam page. The Fan Friday videos are brilliant, and show what she is really like when chatting. Strong woman, but humble and warm ar the same time. A real gem.
Nightwish came into my life at a time when I needed something different and uplifting. And, boy, did they deliver.
Absolutely astonishing reaction... I literally cryof happiness whenever I see people that trully feel the magic of Nightwish. They insipire, they sooth, they are innocence and magic at the same time. This song is about the childhood innocence we all humans have inside of our adult shells... And once you try getting that out again as we once did, as we did back when we were kids... The world would be such a better place.... 1000 hugs and support thoughts from Romania you beautiful and innocent man that you have become !!!
Oh you're so adorable! Lol. Nightwish is a fabulous rabbit hole and you can't go wrong with Gabriel's list, heck you could just watch the whole wacken concert and be amazed! Then followup with Buenos Aires 2018, or end of an era with the original singer tarja, there's so many different paths you can take! Have fun with it man! 🤘❤️
Floor is from the Netherlands. In most schools there Dutch, French and English are taught. Her 6' 7" in
husband is from Sweden, so she is learning Swedish. And her band mates are Finnish, so she is competent in that. Oh...also she sings in German and Spanish...amazing woman.
hi hillbilly, please keep in mind that Floor Jansen was with the Band just about 10 months, so...the songs / lyrics were not written to her voice. She got 48 hours to learn the setlist for the next gig.she f*****g nailed it.after finishing wacken 2013 reactions go straight to wembley, opener "Shudder before the beautiful" IS written for her voice ;)
You pronounced Floor Jansen as one of the best I ever heard of an American. She and Nightwish as a whole is definitely medicine for the soul. As a Flooraholic I can only say: '(at least) one Floorgasm a day keeps the doctor away'.
Indeed, the best pronunciation we've heard from an American!
Hey there, skeptical hillbilly from Kentucky USA! Scrolling down the list of comments here I was a bit surprised at how many southern folk in the USA actually like Nightwish ^^ Kinda makes me feel not so "weird" after all :P Another really feel-good song by Nightwish is "I Want my Tears Back" in their concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2018 (?) I think it was. The crowd there was so into it and Floor just cut loose and was dancing all around and stuff. Great song live with a great vibe. I think you'll like it :)
Yes , Nightwish and Floor sounds great LIVE, she is the Singer of NW and she rocks like hell, from Opera to angelic and GROWLS, she is just has the moves to make this works, vocaly and stagepresence.
I'm glad you like it .
For me Floor is the singer of all her music and covers , they sound all exelent.
Thank you, have a nice day! Greetings from🇫🇮🎶🌞😍!
Floor is very unique, she can do all sorts of things with her voice, and yes she was classically trained in opera, also trained in other genres, and a vocal coach. She has 24 years experience being lead vocalist, Nightwish is her 3rd and final band. She was born to do this, she speaks like 8 languages. She is from the Netherlands, so she is Dutch, Nightwish is Finnish, so she has learned some Finnish, her husband is the drummer from Sabaton and they live in Sweden, so she speaks Swedish, she speaks German, I think she speaks Italian, and of course English. She blew my mind the first time I heard her voice, I did not think it was possible for a human to sing as well as she does, and still not convinced she is not really a Valkyrie Goddess. Loving your reactions.
I’m a 70 year old man and I just discovered Nightwish about a month ago. So don’t beat yourself up about never having heard them before. I found them in a rather circuitous rout. There is a band called “Disturbed” and they did a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence”. There are 2 versions, the official video and a performance on The Conan show. Listen to the Conan performance first. This is Sound of Silence like you have never heard before. Strap in … it’s a real ride!!!!👍
Theres also a live version with Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge. th-cam.com/video/H3By4DZyTNM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Floor is awesome and so is the band. You should react to Floor singing O Mio Bambino Caro live with Revamp,because the crowd is quiet while she sings. Revamp is her 2nd band. This whole concert is amazing. Floor is Dutch and the band is Finnish except for Troy and she lives in Sweden with her Swedish Husband Hannes and daughter Freya. FYI her husband Hannes is the drummer for Sabaton. Floor speaks Dutch, English,Swedish and some Finnish which is a hard language. She has one year of classical training or opera.
THE valkyrean queen sings better live than 95% of the mainstrean singers in studio , and that is a universal fact. greetings from Portugal .
🤘🤘
Thank you for the kind words 👍 - we are just some hundred of thousands dedikated fans, who wants to get people aware of the this wonderful music. (you will unfortunately also meet some haters / trolls - around 5 - just ignore and block them👍
The reason why you will never hear Nightwish and / or Floor Jansen in the "money controlled" radio and TV.
1. Nightwish and Floor are independent - no contract forces them to make music they don't want to - just to make shareholders and themselves richer.
2. The commercial music have certain rules like a max of 3 - 4 minutes pr song. In Nightwish's opinion, it's not possible to tell a deep and meaningful story, in that time slice - they simply don't have that short songs.
I will give you a example:
In 1999 a total Solar Eclipse appeared over Europe (Germany I believe) - and therefore Tuomas from Nightwish got the task from their German record company, to create a radio friendly song, at max 4 minutes - about the Solar Eclipse.
Due to contracts etc etc, Tuomas was forced to write the song - but he made it longer!!! - it wouldn't be possible to give the audience an experience otherwise.
The song is a phenomenal beauty of a ballad un Floor's interpretation from Tampere 2015 - and I think you should react to it. Floor spellbinding 24.000 people by her incredible singing - and you will see another side of her abilities - and how they cooperate on stage.
It's just great - look how she hands it to Emppu when it is his turn to shine.
This is 6 people working together to give the audience the ultimate experience of each song - always.
Sleeping Sun - Tampere 2015
th-cam.com/video/rsotlzr9wNw/w-d-xo.html
3. Floor have done some covers like "Shallow" and others - and it's mind blowing. She outmatces every known pop queen ever existed - by light years!! And that's being a serious threat on someone's investments....
You do the math..
***
The Wacken 2013 show is on

Floor is the most humble, caring and kind person you can think of - with a GREAT sense of humor. I would recommend you to join her YT Channel, she gives us fans lot of personal stories plus covers of other songs - and they are mind blowing!!
Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘
Your "Floor Jansen" pronunciation was actually pretty much perfect! And I would hazard a guess that she probably speaks at least 4 languages, she is Dutch of course, fluent in English as you know, but she also lives in Sweden and speaks Swedish, and she understands Finnish quite well, too. This is not entirely uncommon for Europeans though, everyone here lives with so many other languages surrounding us, it's hard not to pick up a few. English, of course, is ubiquitous and in many European countries, it is mandatory learning, in addition to our native language(s).
I'm loving your videos by the way. There's something magical and heartwarming about watching someone discover something that I already love! And hey, it's okay not to like everything as well - we are all different and like different things, often it is good to get another perspective. Do as you wish of course!
Greetings from the Norwegian countryside 🇳🇴
Hi sir, there were 82,000+ people in the audience and what some reactors think of crowdsurfing, is transporting brocken down, squished people to the security/EMTs to get help. Wacken is the biggest heavy metal festival on earth and the "Holy Grail" for every metal musician. So told by a guitar teacher, who is a metal musician.
Nightwsh help a LOT of folks through 'troubled times', they are a life changing rabbit hole, a life affirming tonic! Good to have you on board buddy!
there is a double CD of this concert available and it's awesome 👍👍👍
Billy, really Nightwish will heal your soul!! Thanks for reactions…..
After a couple of reactions I can now safely subscribe, welcome to the army.
Welcome to the journey my friend! Don't be ashamed for not knowing them before. Not knowing is not a shame, not wanting to know would be. Keep listening to their songs, almost in any order. If I might suggest something though, leave The Poet And The Pendulum for later when you know a lot more about them and their history. Also, maybe you shouldn't tackle The Greatest Show On Earth for a while. You should become more familiar with this kind of music and sound before jumping into something that complex and meaningful. Throughout the journey you will get surprise after surprise, shock after shock. This is what Nightwish does, they make you expect one thing and then deliver something completely different and so much better! If you have the time, take a look at the lyrics too sometimes, it's pure amazing poetry. Tuomas Holopainen is truly one of the greatest creators alive today. People call him Metal Mozart and while that might be a bit of an exaggeration when it comes to technique or even knowledge of music, it's not one when it comes to creativity, imagination and the rare capacity to be completely honest, to bare his soul in front of everyone.
You must go to the song "I want my tears back", same show! I will love it!!!
Since you listen to country, I think you'll really enjoy Floor Jansen singing "I don't know a thing about love". It's from a Dutch TV show called "Beste Zangers".
Gabriel's list is at the top of your ' Ghost Love Score' reaction. I just went back and found it there.
No please don’t stop focusing on the band, they all deserve the attention. There’s no band without the musicians.
Also yes we speak English well in Northern Europe, we get it in elementary schools and often we speak about atleast 3 languages on average.
To be fair in Northern Europe they probably speak better English than some of us in the U.K.
I'm envious of people who can speak multiple languages. When you start young before your "mental wiring" is solidified, it is easier than we Americans who try to learn a language later in life. Something about "teaching old dogs, new tricks." haha.
@@gordonbarton8440 haha growing up with a Welsh grandad I agree 😂
@@gordonbarton8440 hahaha, well, we know less words but I think the easiest way to learn english is to get rid off the subtitles.....soon you will understand what they`re saying.
@@oneknight55 try to find Movies wgo aren't synchronized to English and use subtitles. That's how I perfected my English before age 14.
Hey mate, one of your questions really stood out to me. "have you heard what they play on the radio these days?". Well Yes we have, and thats why we love Nightwish so much! You've definatly lost your Floorginity, now just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Floor Jansen, perfect pronounciation!!! the name Floor is derived from Flora, the roman goddess from flowers and spring, she is an amazing woman in a band with amazing guy's , such nice people, nothing evil about them or their music. One couldn't be Nightwish without the others, a perfect match. Thank you for your reaction, see you at the next one, greetings from the Netherlands, bye
We all love your honest approach, so no need to apologize. Just as another thing for you to check out, "Beste Zangers 2019". It's a Dutch TV show and Floor was one of the participants, she sang in multiple languages, different genre's, and styles. It's not a competition, just some really talented singers singing for each other. Pretty cool, and it really shows Floor's range. Give it a shot, if you have time. ;-)
03:11 Floor "windmilling" 😁
06:50 yes, they have a website you could buy it from, but the whole show is available here on TH-cam as a start to finish concert; as is the show at Wembley Arena. That concerts DVD is called "Vehicle of Spirit "
Floor (Yawn-sin) IS the singer of choice. 🤣. She was trained classical, so yeah, she sings opera. 😏
Bro, I told you to to invite the Nightwish Army to your channel. I knew you’d love the passion the fans, and appreciate the support. 👍🏻👍🏻. I wish Ann Waychoff was still alive. She was our super fan and when she posted to a reviewers channel, it was always full of nothing but love, wisdom, and support for the band and the reviewer. She is missed. 😢
💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙
Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion
RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army
Great reaction, loved your expression!!
Floor also sings in a handful of different languages. Dutch, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, and ofc English. Metal is just high-energy music to me. I always thought that Bluegrass is just metal for country folk. Enjoy your reactions. Cheers.
She also sings Latin (Stabat Mater Dolorosa with Epica) and German (Vilja Lied on Beste Zangers). I don't recall her singing anything in Swedish. She totally could of course, but I have never seen anything on the Internet. Do you have a link?
@@franshinlopen2166 Iirc, it was one song she sang during a Christmas special, during the time she was pregnant. I've seen so many I can't recall the video, sorry.
Watch The Islander by Nightwish at Tampere for an entirely different take on the band. Floor comes in towards the end doing backing vocals, and as always does it beautifully.
From one hillbilly to another. Keep up the reactions whenever you have time brother. There's a whole lot of great Nightwish videos out there, one of my favorites is The Islander (live from Tampere) it's got a little different sound to it. Nightwish has a huge range of styles and they are all amazing.
Something else you may enjoy is Ayreon- The Day That The World Breaks Down is a good one to start with. Arjen Anthony Lucassen is one of the best composers alive and only uses the best musicians and vocalists in his projects. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
NW Army from NYC branch reporting for duty! What you witness from this group is pure talent. Your reaction is priceless it's okay if NW leaves you speechless. Now each song has different stories of it's own. Unfortunately when it comes to the music industry of this country they focus on the outer appearance than the quality and talent of groups that is not of this caliber. Keep going on this journey it gets better. Enjoy the ride! ☺
Yes, you can order the dvd Nightwish Wacken 2013 live. You'll have the while concert. It's pretty good!.
Being speechless is the perfect reaction
Hello and don’t worry Gabriel will find you. And welcome to the nightwish army!!!!!
i started down this rabbit hole about 3months ago..i haven't stopped listening to this band since..here in the states we got cheated cuz this band wasnt more main stream..but i feel that the band is defintly growing because of reactions. so keep it up your doing a great job hillbilly..ROCK ON!
Check out Floor's channel here on TH-cam as well. She does covers, fan Fridays, and shares lots of other content. She is awesome and a sweetheart!
"Showtime, Storytime" is the title of the DVD from Wacken 2013
You have no idea the world your are about to enter. One of the best live bands out there with a singer than can bring a grown man to tears. It's a journey that you will thoroughly enjoy. Welcome to the Nightwish army!
Because you mentioned the language thing - she's Dutch, living in Sweden, singing in a Finnish band. And besides English in which she normally sings, she sang on previous occasions in at least German and Spanish.
Floor speaks at least three languages her native Dutch, Swedish, English and maybe Finnish as well.
Hello from the foothills of NC!! Kinda funny how us southern rock fans can be so moved by a Finnish symphonic metal band isn't it? Nightwish is really something special. I found them about a year ago. Welcome to the rabbit hole!! Have fun and great channel!!
Nightwish Army here. Your comment "Music is medicine for the soul." Well then my friend, you have found the cure with Nightwish.
I'm happy too se another man on this planet to have an floorgasm.
You are an unknown friend of mine.
stay good and happy!
We welcome everyone lol. I'm a bush wacker from Central Canada, Sergeant Gauthier long time Nightwish fan. Subbed my friend 😎
NW Army Greece here, welcome and enjoy your ride into this amazing band🤘
Hey bud, N Georgia? We might need to have a beer somewhere around Chattanooga/Dalton sometime my friend as I'm in the area! Enjoying your reactions and would enjoy talkin' Nightwish with you. As an old fart, I understand being unable to find the words since this music is soooo different from what we grew up with but have become drawn to and obsessed with (in my case anyway) since discovering them at the beginning of Covid. Regardless, looking forward to your future NW reactions!
Just name the bar and the beer!
@@theskepticalhillbilly3531 That's a plan!
Floor sings everything. If this was a US band they would be continuous chart-toppers. Unfortunately they are not well known in the US. Also, their songs fall outside the range of the 3-4 minute songs that radio stations play because they want to jam in many songs in a short period of time. I buy their albums and listen to them on TH-cam. Gabriel's list is at the top of your Ghost Love Score at Wacken reaction. 😀🤘
Sir, your speachless reaction says it all: you are hooked to NightWish forever.
I love your genuine, honest reactions! I think metal gets a bad rap because people don't know that there are many different types of metal genres. You'll find that metal heads are some of the kindest, welcoming people, especially if you like our favorite bands, lol! Can I suggest one of my favorite bands, Caligula's Horse- the songs Turntail or Firelight. I think you'll like them.
Hey Hillbilly, congratulations, you are the first American I hear pronouncing her name right the first time. Untill now, the QUEEN has sung in Englisch, Dutch, German, Spanish, Latin, Finnish and Swedish. She speaks fluently English, Dutch and Swedisch.
Being from the US myself I understand what you mean about how she sings live. In Europe the vocalists seem to be much better and better trained than here in the US. Our radio stations and big media cram crappy singers that are enhanced by autotune and are from tv shows down our throats because they make money from it. This drowns out beautiful vocalists like this and many others from Europe and Asia we never get to hear on the radio. If you want good music TH-cam has much more than we get exposed to in the US.
The Nightwish Army is amazing. They are so welcoming.
I applaud your honesty. I revel in your reaction. I think you're terrific. And I'll tell you this I love Nightwish. It's a newfound obsession. But like each and every musical band or orchestra or symphony there are some selections I don't care for. And you know what that makes me human.
I happen to love this one honestly for its musicality. I have to be honest I don't understand all of the words. My obsession came with the first song I listened to from Nightwish which was the astonishing Ghost Love Score. It was a major shift in my musical delights. You can't go back from here and I love it. Keep on keeping on bro you're doing fantastic. ✌️💕
To get you going with the discs-- Showtime, Storytime is available-- this concert and it's BOTH DVD and CD. ALSO a must-have-- Vehicle of Spirit, a five disc set of both DVDs and CDs which is the Wembley and Tampere shows. THAT should keep you going for a little bit then we can go for their latest album which is a stunner of course as well.
There are tracks we're calling "the big 3"- "Ghost Love Score" (Wacken), "The Poet & The Pendulum" (Wembley) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere). Some might argue the latter should be Wembley, but being an indoor venue they couldn't show their full stage display due to fire safety regs- which I say detracts from their full effect. Tampere stadium had the full show, better lighting and clearer audio so I recommend that one...
I also recommend the Tampere version of Greatest Show on Earth - it's got a slightly different arrangement than the Wembley version as well as the full stage display. That said, the Wembley version is also very good, and does have a surprise at the end. Honestly? React to whichever one, but watch the other as well, for your own entertainment.
Same thing with I Want My Tears Back - the Wacken version has some great interactions between the band members, including Emppu (the little guy on guitar) pranking Floor by muting/unplugging her IEMs, while the Buenos Aires version has some amazing audience energy and a crazy dancing Floor. For that matter, there's a fan-cam of the same song from Helsinki 2018, in which there's more Floor and Emppu silliness - she tries to get him to dance, he runs away! And spends the whole song playing keep-away from her, lol!
hi from northern ireland...great reaction every nightwish song is different
You mentioned that Floor knows two languages. She knows at least five languages.
But the languages she is most fluent in are 'singing' and 'empathy'
Gabriel is always watching. Keep up the good work, brother.
Great reaction. It's nice to see people open up their minds to new music, and Nightwish is a great way to do that. To be warned they do have some heavier songs or that have names that might put you of, like "the devil and the deep dark ocean" witch is a very theatrical song and has an amazing live performance from them in Buenos Aires. Also, they do have songs that is better to check out the story behind them, like "the poet and the pendulum" (a song very close to the hearts of the Nightwish fans and one that is very personal for the composer and writer of this band, the keyboardist), "Shoemaker" (a song about a scientist that is the only person to have his ashes on the moon) or "the greatest show on earth" (a song about the evolution of this planet, which, even if you don't believe in scientific creation it's still a very good song with a beautiful journey). And.. To close this long message.. I think for the next one for you to try "I want my tears back" live at Buenos Aires so you can see Troy (the newest member) and to see how they are in a different concert. Stay safe 🤘😁🤘
New sub from the Netherlands, coming for more reactions to nightwish! You’re doing great, your the first one that pronounces Floor Jansen the correct way after only three songs!😁
Nothing better for the soul than our queen Floor singing!!!! Cheers and spread the word this band needs to be bigger here in the USA!!!..and definitely check out all Floors performances on the Dutch show Beste Zangers
Funfact: Floor speaks a numerous of languages and has according to a Spanish/dutch artist who she covered a great pronouncination.
Just after she joined Nightwish she learnt Finnish, which is a language more close to Russian.
Joining the band healed her soul. She was burnt out and overworked when Tuomas called her at her sisters wedding. Touring with NW made her meet the 10 year younger drummer of Sabaton, whom she now has a daughter, living at a farm in Sweden. And yes... Floor speaks some Swedish.
And you seem like a genuine nice, friendly man so I'll sub for that. Nightwish Dutch devicion reporting for duty 😁
I too am a hillbilly and also a huge Nightwish fan. Nightwish fans come from pretty much all backgrounds and nationalities and there's so many good folks in the Nightwish army
That's Nightwish every time different, every time a journey.
This song is one of my favorites! Geniously written from the perspective -- not from the storyteller -- but the entity of storytelling.
I am the voice of Never Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
The lyrics really take me back to my childhood! Even the way the song is composed. It takes you on an imaginary journey with a happy ending.
Brilliant reaction, brilliant band, brilliant singer. Loved it
Btw. Our (Dutch) Floor speaks Dutch (😉), English, Swedish (married to the Swedish drummer of Sabaton), Finnish and also sings in German and Spanish (Dutch tv-show "Beste Zangers" season 2019).
Btw2. If you like Wacken, a big crowd (80.000 plus) and like a great interaction between crowd and band, watch a German band called *BLIND GUARDIAN* live at Wacken 2016 with *_”The Bard’s Song & Valhalla”_* : th-cam.com/video/i-IcX_bccFc/w-d-xo.html
Btw3. Another (Dutch) band, liked by mant Nightwish fans is *EPICA* : Live (Retrospect show) - *_"Sancta Terra"_* : th-cam.com/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/w-d-xo.html (duet with Floor). The lead singer of the band is Simone Simons, who is one of Floor's BFF's and former roommate.
