50 year olds find 50 year olds to go to concert with! not that age matters, but the wish to mitigate what's been missed would be equally strong, which then renders the equally yearning the greatest concert sidekick!
OMG, 52 years old and now I find the greatest METAL group ever and can't stop listening to them. I just can't get enough. All their songs are amazing and Floor rocks the MFin house.
58 yrs. old . Came across Nightwish about a month ago and have not stopped listening to them every spare minute since. Tarja is great but Floor Jansen is the simply the best rock or metal vocalist EVER!
I'm young enough to have been a fan since I was 13, and yeah Floor is their best singer. Anyone insisting Tarja or Anette were better would only do so because they're nostalgic, or because they know little of music and never played an instrument nor sung themselves. It's great to see the 50+ (or baby boomers) in the modern day era aren't as rigid and musically unadventurous as former generations.
I was late to the Nightwish party myself, about 2012 (at age 58), I found them via the Phantom music video which left me saying WTF! How come I didn't find them sooner! And then I learned they had already dropped Tarja and picked up Annette and I was heartbroken. I started listening to a lot of euro symphonic metal, including After Forever, and I thought them OK. Then I heard Nightwish dropped Annette mid tour and added Floor and I was, ugh that's not a stable band. Then I heard Nightwish videos at Wacken 2013 and wow. Just wow. Nightwish has been good for Floor and vice versa. Paul, Nightwish tours the US a lot and crowds are small and the shows are as good as when they play Wacken. So go. Buy a VIP ticket and meet them, they are nice as can be. And I guess you know Floor can sing Puccini too (its on TH-cam).
I am a year younger, but everyday i discover more of Nightwish, and altough i am Dutch, i love the band, and not particularly just Nightwish with Floor Jansen, but she really takes Nightwish to an higher level
How many times have I watched this concert? And the Tampere concert? And Wembley.... Floor Jansen is a gift for this world. And Tuomas is unbelievably talented.
I struggle to hold back tears listening to her. Her voice has a stranglehold on my very soul. this observation from a 63yo Great-Grandmother. Yes you read that right.
@@pimaugu 53 soon to be 54 yr old female who also tumbled down the lockdown rabbithole and discovered Nightwish. One of the few positive things to come out of this year!
not quite as expierienced as you with my merely 17 Years, but i really agree with you. This song and this band holds emotions within that no other band can give. It is simply love.
@@TheDolen Jukka is more of a showman than Kai I think. Kai is probably a better drummer as far as skill. I only saw them with Kai live, and hopefully will see them again on June 5th in Tampere (I’ll be super pissed if it gets cancelled)
They are both great. Jukka played harder than Kai. I know I've been playing drums for 43 years. It's funny that Jukka and Emppu look like me and my guitar player on stage. Too funny :)
Jeeeeezus! When she blasts that note at 1:15 I feel like the shockwave must have destroyed a couple of buildings in the backround. A few planes dropped out of the sky, a volcano erupted on the other side of the planet and Godzilla himself was like: "What the fuuuuuu..." and went back into the ocean. This woman is a goddess...
Hahaha, exactly. Did you already hear how Floor and Marco finished Romanticide at the same concert? The shockwave destroyed all buildings in the city, hundreds of planes dropped out of the sky, every volcano in the Ring of Fire erupted and Godzilla pissed his pants ;-)
At the end of Romanticide, this Dark Angel's D6 wail at Concorde decibels shattered the wine glasses in the cabinet and brought 120 species of small mammals to the back door.
As a 71 year old fan of good music I was blown away the first time that I saw this video. I wouldn't have expected that the genre of symphonic metal would appeal to me but I've always enjoyed great vocals with powerful and melodic supporting instruments. This particular recording at Wacken simply "Floored" me. An extremely well-done performance and recording, powerful yet meaningful, intricate and balanced -- one of the best live recordings ever! Sadly the members in 2013 are trickling away. All Hale Nightwish!
They absolutely cracked the jackpot with floor.. She's by far one of the best singers out there.. Goosebumps and tears everytime I'm listening to her 😍
And Floor hit the jackpot for getting to be joined the band. Without Nightwish she would not have had the chance to tour in big arenas all over the world. Not get all that fame. So it’s vice versa.
Floor Jansen: - Most perfect live performance - Most powerful voice - She's the one who can change the most her voice: from dramatic soprano to wild harsh rock voice, and even pop - The one who has self confidence the most (clear in the way she stands and moves), she masters stress very well in live shows, the secret behind her great performance - Physically speaking: she's tall, strong, black leather clothes fit her and make her look like a mythological goddess - And she's the best headbanger ever PS: I also like Tarja and Simone very much, but Floor: just unique... truth is truth :)
***** WTF? Did you ever listen to After Forever?! Actually, Floor is the most powerful mezzo, though with her wide vocal range (B2 to D6 or even F6) she can effectively mimic a contralto or a dramatic soprano, even the lyric soprano notes aren't impossible for her. Listen to Ayreon's 01011001, especially 'Ride the Comet', you may get a hard-on from her angelic high notes.
Well we just lost Marko and his leaving Nightwish will be even worse than Jukka's retirement. It's going to be very difficult to find a bass player who can match Floor's vocals like Marko did and there's nobody else in the band who sings. :-(
@@dieseldog00 Quite a few songs are now out of question for a live show without Marco... Troy way too "thin" vocally, cannot say anything about Jukka Koskinen the interim...
I've been a huge fan of Nightwish for almost 10 years now. I own all their stuff and I've seen them live. The 29th of August I saw them in Trondheim, Norway and this was the first time seeing Floor. I have to say, she is the most talented woman I've ever seen and heard on stage. Like, who needs Tarja and Anette when you have fucking Floor Jansen?! Don't get me wrong, I like Tarja and Anette too in their own way, but Floor really blew me away. Thanks to her I actually cried like a shitkid on their concert. She gave me this really great concert feeling and Anette never managed to give me that. I'm absolutely going to be front row on their concerts later. She made front row feel like heaven!!
+Linnea Snow Absolutely agree. Her energy and warmth drives their music even better. Tarya was too cold for Nightwish on my opinion. I actually like Anette, but no need to argue that her voice can't be compared to Floor's. She is awesome and she suits Toumas' music the best way.
Divuar LaCroix I agree with what you say about Tarja. She was colder than Floor. She had this brilliant and amazing voice, she was Nightwish, but she was cold. I have never seen Nightwish with Tarja, sadly, but I don't think she would've given the audience the warmth and connection that Floor has. She is a brilliant vocalist and, as you say, she suit Tuomas' music very well! And, yes, Anette is good too, in her own way, but far from as good as Floor!
Floor is the best that happened to Nightwish since a long time. She combines the voice needed for their music with a great performance on stage. Love her!
How come i discover this song so many years later? OMG This is amazing! Floor Jansen is a powerful goddess with an incredible voice and great stage presence.
I can't ever wonder why any old fans of this band would be upset over this replacement: This women's voice and presence is amazing...I'm somewhat new to this band, and this is my favorite version of it.
I've liked this band since I was 13 years old and imo Floor is their best singer by far. Really, she rocks the live stage, hits the notes and is very versatile.
Honestly, I've been listening to Nightwish most of my life and I agree. Floor is definitely the best vocalist they've had so far. Tarja was great, but Floor has a much better presence than Tarja ever had.
I grew up listening to led zep,hendrix,deep pur,blk sab but man NIGHTWISH IMO slay them all 64years old still rocking to the best band in the world ever
This song is horribly underrated, The breakthrough at 3:44 is awesome!!! The performance Ov Floor is pure powerful and insane.. I never forget my first time that I was listening to this song and in the middle I completely lost my self control due to headbanging and I was out Ov this world..
Nightwish army reporting from Athens 🇬🇷 My opinion, sure, "Ghost Love Score", "The poet and the pendulum", "The greatest show on Earth", are perhaps their most iconic songs and live performances. But I have to say that the "Song of Myself" and especially the Live in Wacken 13, is an absolute diamond, and my favourite NW song. It has so much pain, despair, agony. "Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end ..." Jesus, what a Verse.... Long live NW PS: I think that particular format during these years, like the 2013 in Wacken was their best ever!!! 🤘
Let me get 100 more views myself, and I'll let you know :) I think this is even more powerful than studio version. Of course it is, it is NW live... That ending with both Marco and Floor is exquisite.
Wow i am 74 years old . Feel like 20 years old after listening to this unbelievable band & sound. Missed last week in London but hopefully see them before I go.
Floor and Nigthtwish I hope they keep going forever!!! longtime fan here ..... Hietala is a great loss tho this is by far the greatest song ever for me.
Rodrigo Hate to burst your bubble, but that's a fan strategically placed to blow her hair. Standard equipment for a singer like Floor with her gorgeous mane of hair.
When Anette left (whom I loved) my first thought was that Floor (whose After Forever was now defunct) would be one of the few who could fill both Tarja and Anette's shoes. Dayum, but i was right!
That's funny. I'm not sure if you know - even if you watch it a thousand times, it counts as only once from your specific phone or computer. So 11 million views is quite a few for the greatest band on earth!!
(This is my husband's account if it matters.) It seems like a lot of guys like NIGHTWISH and some girls, too. I always capitalize NIGHTWISH because that's the way it should be! Lol.
hmm... 3 million is around 14500 days that is around 40 years. based on the release date of this video, you whould have around 6,6 accounts playing this video nonstop since 2013. And based on the normal human sleep schedule, that you whould need 7 hours of sleep pr. Day, you whould need around 9,4 accounts playing nonstop. With those facts i can most likely conclude that you eather has a lot of accounts and that you really love Nightwith or that you really love Nightwish and are lying.
One of my favorites Nightwish songs, besides Romanticide, Ghost River, Dark Chest of Wonders and The Greatest Show On Earth for sure. I love everything about this band, even more now with Floor. Such a fantastic group of musicians!
OMG!! Nightwish is the band with the best LIVE performance EVER! Nightwish: the music from angels coming to earth finding that electric guitar, keyboards and drums are better than harps.
I discovered them 14 years ago when I saw the Nemo video on Kerrang tv. I sat there with my mouth open in total wonder and disbelief that there were bands out there producing music like this and I was completely unaware of them!! 😲
One of the things I love most about Floor is how well her voice harmonises with Marco's. He's a force of nature too, and with Floor, the colours of his voice stand out do well❤😍 and in this song, that is very evident 😍
In Nightwish, Floor Jansen has found the perfect vehicle for her incredible voice and talent. She has met an equally talented composer and arranger that pushes her limits while the musicianship of the band is in the high range of talent. Notwithstanding her previous bands (After Forever or ReVamp), Nightwish is in a class by iself way beyond the others.
I don't think Floor sees Nightwish as a vehicle. I think she really feels part of the band, and that works both ways, and that is one of the reasons it works so well.
@@jamesbrackett1302 I get your analogy (or metaphore) of driving the hell out of it and giving everybody a ride part of your analogy, and I do agree with that, but the thing is that a vehicle is an impersonal thing. Nightwish is a group of talented and professional people who really respect each other for what they can do, and have fun working together... When you call it a "vehicle" you seem to be implying that Nightwish is something that that only serves the personal advancement for the individual members (that's how we use the word "Vehicle" in Dutch anyway, I don't know if that is the same in English, which is not my native language..), and I think that is exactly the mentality that got Tarja fired... But with the currect members I don't see that mentality... That's why I objected to it. So..., YES I do agree with the driving the hell out of it, and giving everybody a ride part of the analogy, but I do not agree with the impersonal / egoistic part of it...

Nightwish.. my first metalband, the band that brought the metal into my life.. the band that enlightens me everytime I listen to one of their songs ❣️ Tarja, Anette, Floor..each so different, each so different, but each with its specialty ❣️ Talents.. and Marco.. with the voice of a fallen angel where no man can compete with ❣️❣️❣️

The most true statement in history.
I'm seventy years old and I can't get enough of you and nightwish
Your fandom is part of what makes Nightwish so great, they cut across generations and gender.
One of the best drummer i have ever seen... He is a beast
U must see octapus Alex bent
All are the best !!!
He literally harasses his drumset!
He totally is. Force of nature.
absolutely
Every drummer should play with the enthusiasm and vigor that Jukka did. Miss him so much :(
Kai is more than enough as a replacement, honestly
Technically Kai is more than enough, but emotionally Jukka can't be replaced. Seen them both live. Jukka was another league.

cause you're awesome enough for appreciate the masterpiece are you watching.
Because you have been working too much... this is my 2615th time.
Wow i am 74 years old . Feel like 20 years old after listening to this unbelievable band & sound. Missed last week in London but hopefully see them before I go.
This is from other universe. So epic...This song will live forever.
Never listened to this band before ever, but holy shit what a triumph of music i am moved
She is the best singer in this band..
Floor and Nigthtwish I hope they keep going forever!!! longtime fan here ..... Hietala is a great loss tho this is by far the greatest song ever for me.
I love how the wind is blowing her hair in 3:21 . It gives kind of an epic feeling.
Rodrigo Hate to burst your bubble, but that's a fan strategically placed to blow her hair. Standard equipment for a singer like Floor with her gorgeous mane of hair.
OMFG! The guitar stopping and then coming back with the drums and everything else... Awesome!
Hi
It's amazing! Gives me goosebumps
I liked Tarja, Anette was..good but Floor..OMG. She is the best! So refreshing. One of the best vocals ever. So talented.
The other girls was good, but Floor is just unbelievable, amazing voice and a great performance on the stage, I like her...
Agreed...
When Anette left (whom I loved) my first thought was that Floor (whose After Forever was now defunct) would be one of the few who could fill both Tarja and Anette's shoes. Dayum, but i was right!
You can tell Marko is about to lad down a badass vocal, as he stands there and straightens his beard!
beards....🤣
Ooooh God! Floor is sooo f*** amaziiiing! I love heeeer!
Donovan VP w
The crowd headbanging!!!! Love it
Several years later and I'm still bumpin' geese with this.
Oh, and 11.4 million views? Shit, 3 million of those are mine.
That's funny. I'm not sure if you know - even if you watch it a thousand times, it counts as only once from your specific phone or computer. So 11 million views is quite a few for the greatest band on earth!!
(This is my husband's account if it matters.) It seems like a lot of guys like NIGHTWISH and some girls, too. I always capitalize NIGHTWISH because that's the way it should be! Lol.
@@waltersauerwein8619 No, I didn't know that!
hmm... 3 million is around 14500 days that is around 40 years.
based on the release date of this video, you whould have around 6,6 accounts playing this video nonstop since 2013. And based on the normal human sleep schedule, that you whould need 7 hours of sleep pr. Day, you whould need around 9,4 accounts playing nonstop. With those facts i can most likely conclude that you eather has a lot of accounts and that you really love Nightwith or that you really love Nightwish and are lying.
Their voices together make something truly awe inspiring, gives me chills every time. *is at least his 200th time watching it*
So Epic! Bought the DVD and can't stop watching it!! Floor is incredible..
this New singer dear god . WOW
One of my favorites Nightwish songs, besides Romanticide, Ghost River, Dark Chest of Wonders and The Greatest Show On Earth for sure.
I love everything about this band, even more now with Floor.
Such a fantastic group of musicians!
R.I.P. dear Ann. Thanks for your education, love and respect. The Nightwish Army will never forget you.
she definitely owned this song! I love Floor! goddess!
Marco's belting entrance at 1:59 never gets old! So powerful! Love how he and Floor compliment each other so much!
Man, this was just plain AWESOME!!
Floor, your beautiful, and to the rest of the band, your awesome. Thank you for your music.
last 3 minutes,the most beautiful 3 minutes in my last 3 weeks.what a sound and a stage show!!
OMG!! Nightwish is the band with the best LIVE performance EVER!
Nightwish: the music from angels coming to earth finding that electric guitar, keyboards and drums are better than harps.
This song contains some of that energy that created the universe - absolutely gigantic ...
I discovered them 14 years ago when I saw the Nemo video on Kerrang tv.
I sat there with my mouth open in total wonder and disbelief that there were bands out there producing music like this and I was completely unaware of them!! 😲
This band is new to me but I'm hooked! Floor is the bomb...
Floor is dangerously sexy
But but Tarja.... ok nvm....
She is gorgeous
Oh yeah
she's a devil and an angel in the same time
Dangerously sexy and dangerously adorable at the same time :3
One of the things I love most about Floor is how well her voice harmonises with Marco's. He's a force of nature too, and with Floor, the colours of his voice stand out do well❤😍 and in this song, that is very evident 😍
Sadly, Marco leave Nightwish 😐
@@eliasvelasquez72 For reasons of (mental) health, not because he was kicked out. Let's hope he recovers and it is temporarily.
I have no idea why his showed up on my feed, but I’m glad it did. What a band! I only hope I’ll see them live someday..
Floor is really amazing, i love all tones of her voice, is perfect for nightwish, I love her performance in this live, she is the best.
Floor is magnificent in this. Powerful and empowered.
from the middle of the song im dying. Love it so so much. All 5 of them are REAL REAL MASTERS n Artist of their trade.
In Nightwish, Floor Jansen has found the perfect vehicle for her incredible voice and talent. She has met an equally talented composer and arranger that pushes her limits while the musicianship of the band is in the high range of talent. Notwithstanding her previous bands (After Forever or ReVamp), Nightwish is in a class by iself way beyond the others.
I agree 100%
I don't think Floor sees Nightwish as a vehicle. I think she really feels part of the band, and that works both ways, and that is one of the reasons it works so well.
If Nightwish is a vehicle they are driving the HELL out of it. And everybody gets to ride
@@jamesbrackett1302 I get your analogy (or metaphore) of driving the hell out of it and giving everybody a ride part of your analogy, and I do agree with that, but the thing is that a vehicle is an impersonal thing. Nightwish is a group of talented and professional people who really respect each other for what they can do, and have fun working together... When you call it a "vehicle" you seem to be implying that Nightwish is something that that only serves the personal advancement for the individual members (that's how we use the word "Vehicle" in Dutch anyway, I don't know if that is the same in English, which is not my native language..), and I think that is exactly the mentality that got Tarja fired... But with the currect members I don't see that mentality... That's why I objected to it. So..., YES I do agree with the driving the hell out of it, and giving everybody a ride part of the analogy, but I do not agree with the impersonal / egoistic part of it...
@@rientsdijkstra4266 I'm so very happy that you got the meaning of what I I said. Because you put it into words very tastefully.Thank you Rients best wishes from South Carolina,USA
Anette has a great voice, but Floor is FANTASTIC. Tuomas' music is genius.
Awesome ! My favourite! ..arrangements, lyrics, dynamics, unbelievably great composition...great musicians, singers LOVE THIS!!!
one of single greatest performances ever
I absolutely love this song.
Nightwish.. my first metalband, the band that brought the metal into my life.. the band that enlightens me everytime I listen to one of their songs ❣️ Tarja, Anette, Floor..each so different, each so different, but each with its specialty ❣️ Talents.. and Marco.. with the voice of a fallen angel where no man can compete with ❣️❣️❣️
This version is sooooooooooooooooooo good!!! Thank god for Nightwish
She is the energy I need everyday
I don't know how I came across this group but I like em from a few songs that I've heard
Marco and Floor sound awesome together! :)
They both ROCK buddy
Is 62 too old to have discovered this fantastic track from this brilliant band?
No, you can anytime at any age listen to Nightwish
Never too old.
i'M 66 AND JUST TRAVELLED FROM UK TO SWEDEN TO SEE THEM LIVE!! WHAT A BLAST...BEST LIVE SHOW I'VE SEEN!!
Simple: No
My age is 60 and feel this is a brilliant band too.
I am 93, and it has brought me back to life
my friend showed me this and i wish i found it sooner!!!! incredible
Emppu Vuorinen is so nice and good man. Thanks to you Emppu. So friendly, so calm and modest...
This song is about poetry yet it would not be out of place in a fantasy battle. Love it.
