I actually like, that you are not talking much about Floor's singing. I mean it is a given, that Floor sounds great about 100% of the time. I guess she has to. If not, thousands of fans would travel to Sweden with chicken soup, gough drops, grandma's secert cold medicine and what not. This is usually not a song I tear up to, but you got me this time. Stay safe Dirk
@KingKokos Just check some of the older videos on Floor's TH-cam, you can watch her build a fence for her horses, meet her cat and get an idea how beautiful the area is, where they live.
@@LeglessWonder If Tank watches those videos of Floor at home, he'll probably be able to tell us what brand of sledgehammer Floor is using to drive those fenceposts for her horse training corral! :-)
Yeah I enjoy watching your Nightwish stuff cause there are many... MANNNNNNNY that just talk about Floor. I like that you provide insight into things that people normally just ignore or gloss over. I especially like all the stage tech talk.
While I absolutely love Marcos voice, for me it's the small play between Emppu and and Toumas. That has been in my heart since I first heard this song.
Rewatching this in 2023, thinking back to when this was uploaded. You couldn't help but look at how wild and happy the crowd is, and thinking "will we ever experience this?" Music is the closest I've come to magic with the way it impacts us.
@@jariseppala9719 She better know EXACTLY when and where they are going off... must be at least as complicated as learning the texts for her, seeing how many stuff they are blasting around her in a whole concert...
I think if we want to hear what a vocal coach has to say, we can watch one of those. You are the only person i've seen who really talks about the gear, so that is why I am here. Well, that and I love your reaction style!
I dont know who Chase or Julia are, but I would love to see Tank with The Charismatic Voice as Elizabeth dissecting Floor while Tank does the rest, would be one of the most comprehensive breakdowns possible IMO. Both are super passionate and would give a great combo.
@@TheHayeShawn Absolutely, that would be amazing as well. She's really fun to watch because of her childlike excitement and enthusiasm. Great suggestion.
@@joshuaburba2905 I recently joined Reacticide so I am going through alot of the review videos there slowly given the length of alot of songs that are reviewed, so far Elizabeth has been my favorite for vocal breakdowns as she has that childlike excitement and also the knowledge to explain things in such detail that most others would miss. It also helps she understands the Floorgasm now to a point where she is alot less likely to interrupt it with a badly timed pause. Maybe soon I'll run into Chase and Julia for whatever channels they are apart of.
I'm glad you made some comments about Marko's bass sound. Of course, Tuomas is a genius, Floor is a vocal goddess, Emppu guitar solos are flawless, Kai is a beast, Troy can play anything, Marko's voice is also awesome blah blah blah, we know all that, but man, Marko's bass also sounds sick. Bass players deserve more credit :)
That feeling you're getting from the crowd is what drives me (and probably many others) to reaction videos. I love picking up on your enjoyment of a song hearing it for the first time. Keep 'em coming. I'll be here for them all. Decades at Buenos Aires has so many great older tracks with Floor adding her own flair to it, End of an Era has plenty of Tarja, anything from Wembley or Tampere...this band just. kicks. ass.
Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembley… one of the best concert openings I’ve ever seen. Ladies and gentleman…start your engines. The show has begun.😀🤘 What a “blow your mind” way to start a show!
Can I just say that during the heavy bit in the middle, I, here in 2022, was headbanging along with Tank, in 2020, to a concert from 2015, yet it was one unified experience through space and time. Wild.
They used Dark Chest of Wonders as an opener for years before this song was out. I suggest checking out the Wacken opener. They like to start with a bang. The decades tour is the exception.
Well, if 'End of All Hope' isn't starting with a bang I don't know what. Also true, I always felt 'Shudder' is a quite direct 'Dark Chest 2.0', at least in spirit...
"A very good evening to you, London, Wembley Arena!" Cryo, CO2 roaring out from behind them onto the crowd. "Anvil" sound from Tuomas, loud "Chink!" (you can see his hand hitting the keys). Look at the distance of the crowd. Tuomas giving the contrasts, loud, then quiet, makes the next loud bit sound louder! What an opener!
Note to self: must stop watching Tank’s Nightwish reactions until 2a.m in the middle of the working week... Thanks again for an honest, enthusiastic and funny reaction. You’re, hands down, my favourite reactor and so happy you’re reacting to my favourite band. 🤘😘
I dunno why, but that moment where Floor is singing softly and the pyro suddenly accents the drum fill really hit me emotionally. Also, seeing Floor look so serene in the middle of all of that chaos!
I fully agree. This is totally marvelous. It does not look like she even noticed anything unusual. Just stood there singing. Except .... she hade a very faint mischievous smile at one very short time just before the normal "noise" started again. I guess she found it fun.
When I finally see my first Nightwish performance, I really hope they open with this song. Its the perfect song to ramp up the energy for what I know will be an unforgettable experience.
Nightwish has other songs that are great openers as well, but this is certainly one of the best. I hope you'll get your wish fulfilled. But wherever and whenever you're going to see them, I'm positive you'll have an amazing time. I've seen them live about 4 or 5 times now and they've never let me down.
My favourite opener of theirs is Dark Chest of Wonders. That song was made to be an opener. But this would be a close second and I certainly wouldn’t complain if they did!
@@RudyBleeker I had floor tickets and was planning on seeing their first Amsterdam show last month and making it a trip. Then everything closed down and I had to refund my tickets because a Europe trip from North America isn't going to happen until this pandemic is over. I am now planning on seeing them in Los Angeles. I know that Amsterdam show will be amazing since Floor is finally now so popular there and the rumors of Henk joining for Phantom. Hopefully they will record it!
I was lucky enough to catch them in Chiba while I was in Japan on their world tour. They also opened with this song and man, when Emppu comes in at that 2:31 mark it shakes you to your core. So much power and energy and it really just set the bar for the show. By far my favorite live show I've had the privilege to attend. Video doesn't do the experience justice, by time they played Ghost Love Score you could look around you and see grown men openly crying in the crowd. Such an amazing experience, you HAVE to see them live first chance you get!
It always cracks me ip when i see Emppu hurrying back to be in position after the solo :) It’s refreshing, with all the thousands vocal coaches reacting out there, too hear someone talking about other stuff. Most reacters have no idea about gear, pyro and other stuff like that. So please, keep breaking it down!
What an epic way to start a concert and another great reaction. I don't know if you have already picked your final reaction for Nightwish Wednesday but I would like to suggest a triple header of Sleeping Son, each different in their own way. Starting with Tarja's version, then Floor's and finishing with Crewish. I think that would be a most fitting tribute to the way "the Nightwish crew", like yourself, had to adapt this crazy year!!
*Great idea !! Triple header !! 2 things: 1. The "Sun" is sleeping, not the "Son". I mean, everything's possible, also that the "Son" is sleeping, but I'm sure you meant the "Sun". And 2. I hope you also think of Nightwish's 1999 Original Version. Once more, really great idea. Hopefully Tank has enough time for a "one video -- triple reaction." Stay safe!*
@@NicholasCorvin Thanks for the comments. I can't believe I missed the typo on Sun!!. For the Tarja version I meant the Nightwish Tarja (End of an Era) version that Nightwish officially released a couple years ago. I was forgetting that that there were also versions from Tarja's solo career.
@@CemKalyoncu I must admit the Crewish version has really grown on me the more I have listened to it and I am sure Tank would love their interpretation.
I feel you. I feel you so much. I miss concerts, banging my head , getting lost in the music, surfing the collective emotional high of the crowd, I miss it so badly. If the nightwish concert next year can happen, i need tissues, no kidding, so much tissues, because it will destroy me.
7:25 What you say here is the reason why i always watch different channels to have a full analysis of their shows: - yours for the sounds and pyro effects, technical informations about instruments... (and of course you for... well being you!!) - Chase Cameron for he's doing such good composition analysis - Julia Nilon for her vocals knowledge
Few years ago, on a Nighwish show in Paris, me and some friends were crying our eyes out on a song (don’t remember which one aha) and some of the guys from security pointed their finger at us and made fun of us. Ever since, I am terribly scared to cry or show any emotions when I go to see shows. I love music so much that I can cry or being emotional pretty easy during a show and that’s ok but now, I am just here, clapping here and then... Again, being kind to people is free. And you don’t ruin their fun (emotional) times 💖
Girl you get yours! It’s about your experience!! And if you get emotional than it must be a great show! Just let it out you’ll never see those ppl again so who cares. Plus there’s thousands of people around you feeling the same way and getting emotional themselves 😌
I've been to enough shows to know security can be super hit and miss in terms of professionalism and attitude. Some of those a-holes CAUSE the very problems they're there to prevent. Ignore them. Take a look around you at your fellow concert goers. They're the ones right there with you, in the moment, feeling the music. The dudes in matching t-shirts are just there for a paycheck. They mean nothing. If someone makes fun of a human being for having feelings, there's something terribly broken inside them. Remember that. And hugs to you. Come cry with the rest of us. It's ok :)
never ever feel ashamed showing emotiions... that's what makes you human 💪🏻😊those that make fun of people being emotional don't deserve a second thought (...im emotionally impared...but when im emotinal ....i don't care about what ever..)big hug to you
@@Shellieruba I know, I am working on it aha but I was going through a lot and this show was a love balm to my heart. I try to focus on my experience with the band and with the person with me but this memory always comes back on my mind 😕
@@Mystress1980 That’s the problem, they are here to prevent. Period. I have very hard time with this kind of behavior but I am working on it but damn. Thanks for the hugs! 😄
From an 40 yo and 20+ years Nightwish army member, I want to congratulate you on Ingrid. As 7 of 9 said: "To the newest member of your crew. May all her desires be fulfilled except for one, so she'll always have something to strive for." Thank you for the video, I love all the educational facts you put in there. Very good content. Keep up the nice Nightwish Academy journey. :)
It is the opening song on the Endless Forms Most Beautiful CD. The whole CD is bad assery in all aspects in my opinion. Keep rockin. Carrie Ann from Illinois...
Emppus guitar playing is like the state of mind of finnish people. You know you are good, even the best but you don't need to tell it everyone. Gotta stay humble and focused!
Okay Tank, you know the deal: You're doing another awesome Nightwish reaction and I'm again recommending a triple reaction to "Sleeping Sun" (Tarja/Floor/Crewish versions). 😅
You're right.; I cry every time I watch Nightwish. It's like the universal, DNA level influence of a yawn. Something deep within. Like a drug....cellular impact.
That moment when Floor strides out onto the stage - she owns the place and she knows it. Confidence/charisma off the charts like the goddess she is. Tuomas' compositions are always stunning. No one else writes like this. This one in particular turns on a dime with power, precision and majesty. Shudder before the beautiful indeed.
I knew you were going to LOVE this song, Tank. It totally rocks! I'm glad you appreciated the dueling solo. For me, that's the highlight of the song and I'm surprised how few Reactors even mention it. Your analysis of the instruments and stage effects are awesome and greatly appreciated by folks, like me, who don't know squat about those types of things. Very, very, interesting.
I love how much you know! and keep reacting to nightwish! ... I like to listen without subtitles to learn more about English, and I found great people reacting to my favorite band! It's like a vice! .. a big hug from Argentina!
Yesterday it was exactly two years since I saw them at Wembley for the second time. How much I wish I could go back in time and re-live that. It literally hurts my heart, I miss them so much. Thank you for this reaction, once again you totally killed it. Hopefully there'll soon be a time when we all get to hear that opening song and go absolutely nuts!!
I love that you use your tech experience in your reactions. Especially with Nightwish that always has so much going on. I feel that most reactors mainly focus on just lead vocals. Now if that was a reaction for a solo artist, that could be ok. But since Nightwish is a whole band of awesomeness, it's nice with someone that give them some well deserved attention as well. Thank you @TankTheTech 🙏❤️
I was there, we went from zero to lightspeed in seconds - this video does not show how crazy the crowd were - singing and clapping on Floor's lead. It is one of the top 3 greatest Nightwish concert I have been at - I believe we were 12.000 - 14.000 in the crowd, singing along and the sound pressure were gigantic also from the crowd. Mind blowing 👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I agree, I was there to. After 3 seconds we go nuts and crazy 🤪. Luckily we aren't the only one because all the crowd are going loose !!! When we drove back after the show to the hotel nobody can talk again, we're all lost our voice. The best show I've ever seen 😍.
As usual great reaction...I for one, with 50 years as a musician, always love your tech talk. You obviously know what the hell you're talking about! Thanks and stay safe. 👍🏻💖
I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS! So genuine, it is clear it is the very first time you hear them, I truly commend the effort you make to hold yourself up and keep all that awesome material unchecked. keep up the good work!!!
can't tell if anyone's answered this yet, but at around 10:25 - that sound effect. If it's in the orchestral backing track, it's probably an "anvil." In quotes bc while it's a pretty common effect in percussion parts, people don't generally use an actual anvil. A piece of tube steel is far more common, to get a similar sound to an anvil being struck with much more dynamic control. Plus you don't have to lug around an anvil & hammer.
I watch a ton of music reaction channels and you’re not ONE of my favorites. You ARE my favorite reaction channel. I really enjoy your reactions. Especially the Nightwish ones, and especially your reactions to both versions of The Islander. Nightwish became my new favorite band shortly after I started listening to them about 6 years ago. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions.
Wednesday!! Boo YA! Some NW and some Tank! Man I love how surprised and excited you were dude :-) NEVER lose that enthusiasm, you're an awesome commentator and I enjoy tuning in every Wednesday (I get a few other days, but dont comment too often on too much else ;-)) One small note to leave you with as well. Knowing that music can cause you to well up is such a wonderful feeling. I hope you never, ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You know with my condition I have a hard time connecting emotionally to things but I legit ugly cry a lot of times when I hear Floor's voice. Whatever moves you.......treasure it.
This reaction is the definition of love of music. This is one of my favourite Nightwish songs, and one that I also love listening to the instrumental version... there’s so much going on in it and it’s just so well constructed! Definitely recommend checking that out!
Great reaction mate. I have the exact reaction as you did at the moment they cut to the fans rocking. Instant goosebumps and teary eyes. Just beautiful seeing people going wild and enjoying the music
Dude, you are nuts, but that enhances your reactions! :-D Nice to hear your honesty too, in not talking about something you don't know much about. How refreshing to hear. However, you do know more than enough to be a legit reactor. I also like you technical analysis, too. It adds to our knowledge of just how much prep work goes into setting up a Nightwish odyssey.
This is my favourite Nightwish song, just because of those lirycs. I heard this song before I even knew that the band had changed vocals and I know it by heart. Great reaction there
Hey Tank! So the almighty TH-cam algorithm recommended to me this video yesterday, and after watching it I just had to go all the way back to your Ghost Love Score reaction, and I just binged all of your NW reactions up until this one. I see that you have lots more, but this seemed the moment to leave this comment. First of all, I love the unique perspective that you, as a roadie, bring to your reactions. There are tons of vocal coaches and regular folks reacting, but your technical commentary is so interesting and something I haven’t seen anywhere else, and I love that. But the thing I love the most is that we, as viewers, get to share with you this discovery journey you’ve undertaken. The way you react emotionally to these songs feels so genuine, so real, to me. I started my own Nightwish discovery journey last May (still am on it tbh) thanks to another reaction video, and… well, my friends aren’t metalheads, so I haven’t been able to share this with anyone. But you, you seem to feel pretty much how I feel about these masterpieces, and that’s pretty special. So, I just had to subscribe, lol. Once I’m done with the Nightwish reactions I’m gonna check the Sabaton ones and then the rest of your channel. Keep up the good work!
I'd love to see you react to the documentary of 'The Making of Endless Forms Most Beautiful' by Nightwish. It shows the writing process and what Tuomas is thinking, all the demos they do, shows them rehearsing, etc as well as going to London to film the orchestra parts, and everything that goes into it and the making of the album. Its so cool! It shows them walking around on stage before their Tempere concert, and we get a look at all their equipment and instruments, super interesting. They literally talk us through all their equipment. Or maybe you and Chase could stream this as you watch it... :)
OK Tank, it's confession time. Great reaction again as always. Last time I talked about how Nightwish affects us emotions wise. Well, when I saw Ghost Love Score for the first 4 or 5 times about a year ago I was doing some kind of "burst sobbing" the second Floor started singing. I can't even describe it right. I wanted to turn family etc. on to Nightwish but had to harden myself enough so I could get past Floor's opening notes. So don't worry about your eyes tearing up. Claudie52 Out and Take Care.
The joy in the crowd, and the emotion through music, is why I love live concerts!. And also why I watch reaction videos ... I'm tearing up to Tank :) Thank you so much for all your great videos. Cheers!
My favourite song. It's just such a stupidly big sound with so much energy, but the whole band is immaculately balanced, and even Floor isn't at the 'front' as it would usually be. Of course she's still amazing in this, but it feels more like an instrument for the song that the lead singer. Just amazing.
Glad I caught the premiere for this video! Leaving a comment for the youtube algorithm but it was a lot of fun in the chat rioting for what guitar Empuu plays. You really had us waiting til the end there 😂 Glad you enjoyed this performance Tank, thanks for the awesome reaction!
I can't imagine anyone watching you, Tank, and thinking you don't fawn over Floor enough for their liking. You do plenty of that from a fan perspective but like you said, you're not a vocal coach. That said, I commented on the GSoE vid that I haven't watched a single video of yours without learning something new. Today, same thing happened. Keep at it brother. I watch vocal coach reacts when I want to hear them love all over Floor's voice. I watch your vids when I want to hear someone knowledgeable talk about literally everything else.
I really enjoy the emotional responses you have brother! Also the tech background is always nice and I'm a HUGE fan of your Nightwish Wednesdays!! Keep up with the journey.
I said it elsewhere on another Reaction channel, but I LOVE hearing professionals give their takes on songs like this. I get to see a different side of the music beyond a casual "This sounds nice". I get to hear them say WHY it sounds so nice. Hearing about the guitar techniques, or the technical aspects of what's going on, or the vocal intricacies, and so on. It makes me appreciate the music and the effort that goes into it, all that much more.
Yes...the reation of the crowd always hits me too. Music is one of the most universal ways of communication.Words are not needed to convey a message or emotions. It speaks to everyone. Love it!!
This one's a belter of an opener.the pyros/,other effects are amazing and the whole band gets to shine In this one it's great to see them all get their either individual moment ievas in the duel .Kai's warlike rythmic drums ,Marcos heavy bass playing as well as his outstanding vocals and the magical enchantress Floor with her and skills and her amazing presence and stage persona.but my favourite apart from the beginning part is the most fantastic harmonious ending between Marco and floor...thanks Tank u legend for doing this one , please keep up the nightwish reactions and greetings from England 🏴 UK 🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍
Dang I just love your genuine, honest reactions! Keep it up. In times like these we need people showing emotions while watching the stuff we all know, love...and miss.
Man, im sooooooooo glad you did this song, i requested it about a month ago, i fkin love this performance....it has everything dude....and talk about setting the bar high with this as an opener!!! When Floor says "a very good evening to you London Wembley Arena" after the solo's literally every nerve and hair on my neck and back goes beserk! And as a former drummer i gotta give a big shout out to Kai on this song, his perfect tempo and fills are killer. Thanks for the video reaction, love from UK 🤘
Jep, that is the intro track to the album ^^' Other bands end theirs with a total banger, Nightwish got so many great tracks, they can afford to start and end their albums with absolute behemoth-scale masterpieces 🥰
I agree. That choreography and pyrotechnics is insane. If we put everything into one performance, choreography, experience, music and so on, for me they are the rulers of the music scene.
Loved your emotion on this one. You are so correct about how music just makes us "feel". I get teary often just from the emotion of the music. I would love you to do Stargazers from the Tampere show! Loving the ride!
That's me you're talking about when you stop to talk about the crowd reaction!!! It is beautiful to hear you say that, cause Nightwish always have that effect on me, every time I watch them, they take me to another whole level!!
After watching your videos since you started I can honestly say - you've become my number 1 reaction channel! I LOVE your videos. Informative. Fun. Real love for the music. Your emotions over the past couple of Nightwish tracks say everything - one day I'll see this group live and probably lose my sh*t! What an incredible show they put on! Keep up the awesome work
This made me so happy dude! This is my favorite song of theirs and I'm so glad you liked it. You've quickly elevated to being my favorite reaction creator, and this solidified it for me. Thank you so much Tank! Let's Goooo
Ok seen your reactions before and love them. Sorry it took so long to subscribe. Your reaction in this video is exactly how I feel watching almost every Nightwish video. Makes me tear up. Keep going sir! Your doing a super job!!
Jeeez, man, you've worked with Walk Off The Earth? ...and Benetar? I've been a big Pat Benetar fan since "In the Heart of the Night" came out WAY back in the day - oops, just aged myself there, lol. Pat is a hell of a performer! I've loved Walk Off The Earth since they first popped up on radar. Such a unique sound. Seems like such sweet people too. Reminded me of Now Now at first. Isn't it crazy how Nightwish just grabs your soul? That band, those musicians, the crew, the engineers; everyone surrounding Nightwish has just become the gold standard in my view since becoming a mega-fan back in late '99. You seem like a cool dude; I'm honored you're a member of the ever growing NWA. Cheers!
I KNEW you would going to love this song, and I knew you were going to dig the gerb shots near the end when they pull all the instruments back. This has got to be one of my top 5 nightwish songs too. I've been waiting for this one!
Man I always like to see the crowd going crazy too and this makes me tear up the same way. I even can not explain why, perhaps because makes me remember a good time in my youth when I used to go a lot of shows and do the same stuff. Love your reaction btw.

You've gotta do "While your lips are still red" because Emppu doesn't play the EV-1 (either colour)
That's right! Wembley live version ofc.
Yes please 😊
Been saying that for months.
I think Emppu was having a well earned Corona break
Yes but a double reaction with the video😍
I actually like, that you are not talking much about Floor's singing. I mean it is a given, that Floor sounds great about 100% of the time. I guess she has to. If not, thousands of fans would travel to Sweden with chicken soup, gough drops, grandma's secert cold medicine and what not.
This is usually not a song I tear up to, but you got me this time.
Stay safe

@KingKokos Just check some of the older videos on Floor's TH-cam, you can watch her build a fence for her horses, meet her cat and get an idea how beautiful the area is, where they live.
I thought they had their own chefs. . . 😂
It's ok, I'm here all week.
Agreed, part of why I like watching Tank is that he talks about different stuff than other folks. Gives a new perspective
@@LeglessWonder If Tank watches those videos of Floor at home, he'll probably be able to tell us what brand of sledgehammer Floor is using to drive those fenceposts for her horse training corral! :-)

I like that you provide insight into things that people normally just ignore or gloss over. I especially like all the stage tech talk.
Tank-Tech
Chase-Music
Julia- Vocals
Marko's vocals at the end might be my favourite part of this song.
I agree, his vocal runs are amazing
Marko's vocals on the tracks from this album really stand out for me.
While I absolutely love Marcos voice, for me it's the small play between Emppu and and Toumas. That has been in my heart since I first heard this song.

So many people (especially men) could learn from you how to express emotion without any shame. Thank you dude.
"Most bands don't pull special effects on their first song". Dead on the money, as usual :P :P :P
Nightwish and Predictable, two words you don’t use together.
You can see before the pyro jets go off Floor knows they are coming, when she sings, she smiles half a second before they go off. Fun.

Don't forget - Floor's hair is another member of the band.
I just miss him.
I can finally sleep well after hearing what type of guitar Empu plays 😌
No joke, I didn’t even plan that. I realized when I was done that I forgot to bring it up. Haha
im just watching the vids now to make sure what guitar Emppu is using on every one of em
I was getting worried there for a minute.
That feeling you're getting from the crowd is what drives me (and probably many others) to reaction videos. I love picking up on your enjoyment of a song hearing it for the first time.
Keep 'em coming. I'll be here for them all. Decades at Buenos Aires has so many great older tracks with Floor adding her own flair to it, End of an Era has plenty of Tarja, anything from Wembley or Tampere...this band just. kicks. ass.
When I saw them live the energy they give to the crowd is un-fucking-believable.
Careful with Tarja videos. She won a lawsuit and now she's blocking them in YT.
@@alxm1271 This is false.
@@rasijaa It is not. It happened to other youtubers that cover Nightwish too. This is not false.
Marco's singing at the end is wonderful after his superb supporting harmonies.
Concussion boxes, cryobombs, flamers, mortars. If you talk about your gear over the phone, you tech guys must be on the FBI watch list
Hahahahahaha. I never thought about that.
Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembley… one of the best concert openings I’ve ever seen.
Ladies and gentleman…start your engines. The show has begun.😀🤘
What a “blow your mind” way to start a show!
If you want pyros, you need to check out Nightwish's Last Ride Of The Day.
What a great way to open the show! I wish I’d know about Nightwish at the time they were touring with this show.
You know about them now at least! :)
Well the next tour is gonna be even better, that's how it goes with nightwish so you lost nothing 🤷♂️
Floor's instrument is the floor fan that follows her to every show
In the only Nightwish concert I have been, I was right in line with her fan and near enough to feel its wind. I get why she loves it 😂
there's no fan. her hair just does that ;)
@@paulmdevenney thinking about it, you might be just right. The wind could totally be her windmill

@@johnnyphillips4406 that sounds about right
Can I just say that during the heavy bit in the middle, I, here in 2022, was headbanging along with Tank, in 2020, to a concert from 2015, yet it was one unified experience through space and time. Wild.
I was at that show. And I cried like a baby when they appeared on stage. Great show...
I love how floor makes those hand gestures so it looks like she's magically setting of the fires and stuff
They used Dark Chest of Wonders as an opener for years before this song was out. I suggest checking out the Wacken opener. They like to start with a bang. The decades tour is the exception.
Well, if 'End of All Hope' isn't starting with a bang I don't know what.
Also true, I always felt 'Shudder' is a quite direct 'Dark Chest 2.0', at least in spirit...
One of there best songs so many Rock Metal fans should hear WOW SO MANY HAVE NEVER HEARD
"A very good evening to you, London, Wembley Arena!"
Cryo, CO2 roaring out from behind them onto the crowd.
"Anvil" sound from Tuomas, loud "Chink!" (you can see his hand hitting the keys).
Look at the distance of the crowd.
Tuomas giving the contrasts, loud, then quiet, makes the next loud bit sound louder!
What an opener!
Note to self: must stop watching Tank’s Nightwish reactions until 2a.m in the middle of the working week...
Thanks again for an honest, enthusiastic and funny reaction. You’re, hands down, my favourite reactor and so happy you’re reacting to my favourite band. 🤘😘
I love Nightwish Wednesday!
Christmas is coming, so what about "Walking in the air" live with Tarja?
Yes! I second that recommendation!
I dunno why, but that moment where Floor is singing softly and the pyro suddenly accents the drum fill really hit me emotionally. Also, seeing Floor look so serene in the middle of all of that chaos!
I fully agree. This is totally marvelous. It does not look like she even noticed anything unusual. Just stood there singing. Except .... she hade a very faint mischievous smile at one very short time just before the normal "noise" started again. I guess she found it fun.
This is one of those songs that keeps you from listening to the rest of the album because you have to play it over and over and over again. Love it
When I finally see my first Nightwish performance, I really hope they open with this song. Its the perfect song to ramp up the energy for what I know will be an unforgettable experience.
Nightwish has other songs that are great openers as well, but this is certainly one of the best. I hope you'll get your wish fulfilled. But wherever and whenever you're going to see them, I'm positive you'll have an amazing time. I've seen them live about 4 or 5 times now and they've never let me down.
Every one of their openers is amazing from what I have been told. They opened with this when I saw them.
My favourite opener of theirs is Dark Chest of Wonders. That song was made to be an opener. But this would be a close second and I certainly wouldn’t complain if they did!
@@cjbrett89 Dark Chest of Wonders is my other pick as well. It's no doubt an incredible opener.
@@RudyBleeker I had floor tickets and was planning on seeing their first Amsterdam show last month and making it a trip. Then everything closed down and I had to refund my tickets because a Europe trip from North America isn't going to happen until this pandemic is over. I am now planning on seeing them in Los Angeles. I know that Amsterdam show will be amazing since Floor is finally now so popular there and the rumors of Henk joining for Phantom. Hopefully they will record it!
I was lucky enough to catch them in Chiba while I was in Japan on their world tour. They also opened with this song and man, when Emppu comes in at that 2:31 mark it shakes you to your core. So much power and energy and it really just set the bar for the show. By far my favorite live show I've had the privilege to attend. Video doesn't do the experience justice, by time they played Ghost Love Score you could look around you and see grown men openly crying in the crowd. Such an amazing experience, you HAVE to see them live first chance you get!
It always cracks me ip when i see Emppu hurrying back to be in position after the solo :)
It’s refreshing, with all the thousands vocal coaches reacting out there, too hear someone talking about other stuff. Most reacters have no idea about gear, pyro and other stuff like that. So please, keep breaking it down!
What an epic way to start a concert and another great reaction.
I don't know if you have already picked your final reaction for Nightwish Wednesday but I would like to suggest a triple header of Sleeping Son, each different in their own way. Starting with Tarja's version, then Floor's and finishing with Crewish. I think that would be a most fitting tribute to the way "the Nightwish crew", like yourself, had to adapt this crazy year!!
I love Tarja's album version so much I cannot describe it. Though my favourite is now Crewish version.
*Great idea !! Triple header !! 2 things: 1. The "Sun" is sleeping, not the "Son". I mean, everything's possible, also that the "Son" is sleeping, but I'm sure you meant the "Sun". And 2. I hope you also think of Nightwish's 1999 Original Version. Once more, really great idea. Hopefully Tank has enough time for a "one video -- triple reaction." Stay safe!*
@@NicholasCorvin Thanks for the comments. I can't believe I missed the typo on Sun!!.
For the Tarja version I meant the Nightwish Tarja (End of an Era) version that Nightwish officially released a couple years ago.
I was forgetting that that there were also versions from Tarja's solo career.
@@CemKalyoncu I must admit the Crewish version has really grown on me the more I have listened to it and I am sure Tank would love their interpretation.
Crewish isn’t on ITunes yet is it?
''Music is so emotional for people''
But isn't that the whole foundation of music ?
To make you feel good, to express your feelings etc etc
Its awesome how u can hear Marcos' singing through floor and how well they go together in the Harmonic department!!! Love it
Tank, please watch "Pharaoh Sails To Orion"! It's an old one with Tarja, in a small venue, and it really has a different yet badass feel!
I feel you.
I feel you so much.
I miss concerts, banging my head , getting lost in the music, surfing the collective emotional high of the crowd, I miss it so badly.
If the nightwish concert next year can happen, i need tissues, no kidding, so much tissues, because it will destroy me.
7:25 What you say here is the reason why i always watch different channels to have a full analysis of their shows:
- yours for the sounds and pyro effects, technical informations about instruments... (and of course you for... well being you!!)
- Chase Cameron for he's doing such good composition analysis
- Julia Nilon for her vocals knowledge
My absolute favorite Nightwish song! I listen to it over and over again and shudder every time I hear it! Love, love, love! Keep rockin’ it out! ❤️🤘🏻
Few years ago, on a Nighwish show in Paris, me and some friends were crying our eyes out on a song (don’t remember which one aha) and some of the guys from security pointed their finger at us and made fun of us. Ever since, I am terribly scared to cry or show any emotions when I go to see shows. I love music so much that I can cry or being emotional pretty easy during a show and that’s ok but now, I am just here, clapping here and then... Again, being kind to people is free. And you don’t ruin their fun (emotional) times 💖
Girl you get yours! It’s about your experience!! And if you get emotional than it must be a great show! Just let it out you’ll never see those ppl again so who cares. Plus there’s thousands of people around you feeling the same way and getting emotional themselves 😌
I've been to enough shows to know security can be super hit and miss in terms of professionalism and attitude. Some of those a-holes CAUSE the very problems they're there to prevent. Ignore them. Take a look around you at your fellow concert goers. They're the ones right there with you, in the moment, feeling the music. The dudes in matching t-shirts are just there for a paycheck. They mean nothing. If someone makes fun of a human being for having feelings, there's something terribly broken inside them. Remember that. And hugs to you. Come cry with the rest of us. It's ok :)
never ever feel ashamed showing emotiions... that's what makes you human 💪🏻😊those that make fun of people being emotional don't deserve a second thought (...im emotionally impared...but when im emotinal ....i don't care about what ever..)big hug to you
@@Shellieruba I know, I am working on it aha but I was going through a lot and this show was a love balm to my heart. I try to focus on my experience with the band and with the person with me but this memory always comes back on my mind 😕
@@Mystress1980 That’s the problem, they are here to prevent. Period. I have very hard time with this kind of behavior but I am working on it but damn. Thanks for the hugs! 😄
From an 40 yo and 20+ years Nightwish army member, I want to congratulate you on Ingrid. As 7 of 9 said: "To the newest member of your crew. May all her desires be fulfilled except for one, so she'll always have something to strive for."
Thank you for the video, I love all the educational facts you put in there. Very good content. Keep up the nice Nightwish Academy journey. :)
I know I'm two years late to watch your reactions. I really am enjoying watching them all. I hope you and your family are keeping well ❤
It is the opening song on the Endless Forms Most Beautiful CD. The whole CD is bad assery in all aspects in my opinion. Keep rockin. Carrie Ann from Illinois...
Emppus guitar playing is like the state of mind of finnish people. You know you are good, even the best but you don't need to tell it everyone. Gotta stay humble and focused!
So.... there IS life after "The Greatest Show on Earth."
There will be so much more life. Haha
I know I'm a little late but man I love the "synth/quitar battle" as you referred it to!
Okay Tank, you know the deal: You're doing another awesome Nightwish reaction and I'm again recommending a triple reaction to "Sleeping Sun" (Tarja/Floor/Crewish versions). 😅
Great suggestion!!!
Agree!
You're right.; I cry every time I watch Nightwish. It's like the universal, DNA level influence of a yawn. Something deep within. Like a drug....cellular impact.
That moment when Floor strides out onto the stage - she owns the place and she knows it. Confidence/charisma off the charts like the goddess she is.
Tuomas' compositions are always stunning. No one else writes like this. This one in particular turns on a dime with power, precision and majesty. Shudder before the beautiful indeed.
I knew you were going to LOVE this song, Tank. It totally rocks! I'm glad you appreciated the dueling solo. For me, that's the highlight of the song and I'm surprised how few Reactors even mention it. Your analysis of the instruments and stage effects are awesome and greatly appreciated by folks, like me, who don't know squat about those types of things. Very, very, interesting.
I love how much you know! and keep reacting to nightwish! ... I like to listen without subtitles to learn more about English, and I found great people reacting to my favorite band! It's like a vice! .. a big hug from Argentina!
Thank you!
Yesterday it was exactly two years since I saw them at Wembley for the second time. How much I wish I could go back in time and re-live that. It literally hurts my heart, I miss them so much. Thank you for this reaction, once again you totally killed it. Hopefully there'll soon be a time when we all get to hear that opening song and go absolutely nuts!!
THIS is how you start a show. Also, one of my favorites. Very good while driving, except if there's speed cameras around :P
I love that you use your tech experience in your reactions. Especially with Nightwish that always has so much going on. I feel that most reactors mainly focus on just lead vocals. Now if that was a reaction for a solo artist, that could be ok. But since Nightwish is a whole band of awesomeness, it's nice with someone that give them some well deserved attention as well. Thank you @TankTheTech 🙏❤️
Thank YOU!
I was there, we went from zero to lightspeed in seconds - this video does not show how crazy the crowd were - singing and clapping on Floor's lead. It is one of the top 3 greatest Nightwish concert I have been at - I believe we were 12.000 - 14.000 in the crowd, singing along and the sound pressure were gigantic also from the crowd.
Mind blowing
👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I agree, I was there to. After 3 seconds we go nuts and crazy 🤪. Luckily we aren't the only one because all the crowd are going loose !!! When we drove back after the show to the hotel nobody can talk again, we're all lost our voice. The best show I've ever seen 😍.
As usual great reaction...I for one, with 50 years as a musician, always love your tech talk. You obviously know what the hell you're talking about! Thanks and stay safe. 👍🏻💖
I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS! So genuine, it is clear it is the very first time you hear them, I truly commend the effort you make to hold yourself up and keep all that awesome material unchecked. keep up the good work!!!
can't tell if anyone's answered this yet, but at around 10:25 - that sound effect. If it's in the orchestral backing track, it's probably an "anvil." In quotes bc while it's a pretty common effect in percussion parts, people don't generally use an actual anvil. A piece of tube steel is far more common, to get a similar sound to an anvil being struck with much more dynamic control. Plus you don't have to lug around an anvil & hammer.
I watch a ton of music reaction channels and you’re not ONE of my favorites. You ARE my favorite reaction channel. I really enjoy your reactions. Especially the Nightwish ones, and especially your reactions to both versions of The Islander. Nightwish became my new favorite band shortly after I started listening to them about 6 years ago. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions.
Thanks so much!
Wednesday!! Boo YA! Some NW and some Tank! Man I love how surprised and excited you were dude :-) NEVER lose that enthusiasm, you're an awesome commentator and I enjoy tuning in every Wednesday (I get a few other days, but dont comment too often on too much else ;-))
One small note to leave you with as well. Knowing that music can cause you to well up is such a wonderful feeling. I hope you never, ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You know with my condition I have a hard time connecting emotionally to things but I legit ugly cry a lot of times when I hear Floor's voice. Whatever moves you.......treasure it.
Was worried about your head flying off there for a second! Whew! Couldn't do without you!
This reaction is the definition of love of music. This is one of my favourite Nightwish songs, and one that I also love listening to the instrumental version... there’s so much going on in it and it’s just so well constructed! Definitely recommend checking that out!
A high of 1,598 watching the premiere
I was driving when the song started, but I could *hear* you headbanging over the music! 😂
Great! Some tough days recently, so thank you for the little joys like Nightwish Wednesdays 😃
I love this reaction! Its so great to see your reaction and get the production info of some of my favorite songs. Awesome fucking job as always! :)
Thanks buddy! 😎
Great reaction mate. I have the exact reaction as you did at the moment they cut to the fans rocking. Instant goosebumps and teary eyes.
Just beautiful seeing people going wild and enjoying the music
Love it Tank, I f***ing love this band as well :)
Dude, you are nuts, but that enhances your reactions! :-D Nice to hear your honesty too, in not talking about something you don't know much about. How refreshing to hear. However, you do know more than enough to be a legit reactor. I also like you technical analysis, too. It adds to our knowledge of just how much prep work goes into setting up a Nightwish odyssey.
This is my favourite Nightwish song, just because of those lirycs. I heard this song before I even knew that the band had changed vocals and I know it by heart. Great reaction there
Hey Tank! So the almighty TH-cam algorithm recommended to me this video yesterday, and after watching it I just had to go all the way back to your Ghost Love Score reaction, and I just binged all of your NW reactions up until this one. I see that you have lots more, but this seemed the moment to leave this comment.
First of all, I love the unique perspective that you, as a roadie, bring to your reactions. There are tons of vocal coaches and regular folks reacting, but your technical commentary is so interesting and something I haven’t seen anywhere else, and I love that.
But the thing I love the most is that we, as viewers, get to share with you this discovery journey you’ve undertaken. The way you react emotionally to these songs feels so genuine, so real, to me. I started my own Nightwish discovery journey last May (still am on it tbh) thanks to another reaction video, and… well, my friends aren’t metalheads, so I haven’t been able to share this with anyone. But you, you seem to feel pretty much how I feel about these masterpieces, and that’s pretty special.
So, I just had to subscribe, lol. Once I’m done with the Nightwish reactions I’m gonna check the Sabaton ones and then the rest of your channel. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. I appreciate you a ton for checking it out, and I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Great opener! Love the duelling between Emppu and Tuomas! Its great you are back on the road Tank! I will be watching the F-Bombs!!Hihihi!! Cheers!
Tank….your comments are awesome!!!!! Hearing your tech knowledge to the songs adds a whole new dimension for me I love!!!!! I’m a fan!!!
One of my favorites as well! Now...
MASTER
PASSION
GREED
I'd love to see you react to the documentary of 'The Making of Endless Forms Most Beautiful' by Nightwish. It shows the writing process and what Tuomas is thinking, all the demos they do, shows them rehearsing, etc as well as going to London to film the orchestra parts, and everything that goes into it and the making of the album. Its so cool! It shows them walking around on stage before their Tempere concert, and we get a look at all their equipment and instruments, super interesting. They literally talk us through all their equipment. Or maybe you and Chase could stream this as you watch it... :)
OK Tank, it's confession time. Great reaction again as always. Last time I talked about how Nightwish affects us emotions wise. Well, when I saw Ghost Love Score for the first 4 or 5 times about a year ago I was doing some kind of "burst sobbing" the second Floor started singing. I can't even describe it right. I wanted to turn family etc. on to Nightwish but had to harden myself enough so I could get past Floor's opening notes. So don't worry about your eyes tearing up. Claudie52 Out and Take Care.
The joy in the crowd, and the emotion through music, is why I love live concerts!. And also why I watch reaction videos ... I'm tearing up to Tank :) Thank you so much for all your great videos. Cheers!
My favourite song. It's just such a stupidly big sound with so much energy, but the whole band is immaculately balanced, and even Floor isn't at the 'front' as it would usually be. Of course she's still amazing in this, but it feels more like an instrument for the song that the lead singer.
Just amazing.
Glad I caught the premiere for this video! Leaving a comment for the youtube algorithm but it was a lot of fun in the chat rioting for what guitar Empuu plays. You really had us waiting til the end there 😂
Glad you enjoyed this performance Tank, thanks for the awesome reaction!
We shudder before the beautiful! This beautiful performance!
I can't imagine anyone watching you, Tank, and thinking you don't fawn over Floor enough for their liking. You do plenty of that from a fan perspective but like you said, you're not a vocal coach.
That said, I commented on the GSoE vid that I haven't watched a single video of yours without learning something new. Today, same thing happened. Keep at it brother.
I watch vocal coach reacts when I want to hear them love all over Floor's voice. I watch your vids when I want to hear someone knowledgeable talk about literally everything else.
I really enjoy the emotional responses you have brother! Also the tech background is always nice and I'm a HUGE fan of your Nightwish Wednesdays!! Keep up with the journey.
I said it elsewhere on another Reaction channel, but I LOVE hearing professionals give their takes on songs like this. I get to see a different side of the music beyond a casual "This sounds nice". I get to hear them say WHY it sounds so nice. Hearing about the guitar techniques, or the technical aspects of what's going on, or the vocal intricacies, and so on.
It makes me appreciate the music and the effort that goes into it, all that much more.
Yes...the reation of the crowd always hits me too. Music is one of the most universal ways of communication.Words are not needed to convey a message or emotions. It speaks to everyone. Love it!!
DAMN!! They come out swinging don't they!! First time I saw this one too. EPIC!! I'm DEFINITELY going to see them the next time they make it my way!!
This one's a belter of an opener.the pyros/,other effects are amazing and the whole band gets to shine In this one it's great to see them all get their either individual moment ievas in the duel .Kai's warlike rythmic drums ,Marcos heavy bass playing as well as his outstanding vocals and the magical enchantress Floor with her and skills and her amazing presence and stage persona.but my favourite apart from the beginning part is the most fantastic harmonious ending between Marco and floor...thanks Tank u legend for doing this one , please keep up the nightwish reactions and greetings from England 🏴 UK 🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍
Dang I just love your genuine, honest reactions! Keep it up. In times like these we need people showing emotions while watching the stuff we all know, love...and miss.
Man, im sooooooooo glad you did this song, i requested it about a month ago, i fkin love this performance....it has everything dude....and talk about setting the bar high with this as an opener!!!
When Floor says "a very good evening to you London Wembley Arena" after the solo's literally every nerve and hair on my neck and back goes beserk!
And as a former drummer i gotta give a big shout out to Kai on this song, his perfect tempo and fills are killer.
Thanks for the video reaction, love from UK 🤘
I mean, is it even a wednesday if I don't hear "Empu is playing his signature ESP EV-1 guitar"?
Jep, that is the intro track to the album ^^' Other bands end theirs with a total banger, Nightwish got so many great tracks, they can afford to start and end their albums with absolute behemoth-scale masterpieces 🥰
I agree. That choreography and pyrotechnics is insane. If we put everything into one performance, choreography, experience, music and so on, for me they are the rulers of the music scene.
Thankyou, as an old roadie ( smallscale) i've been waiting for this, you going to dig this man...leeeets go
Loved your emotion on this one. You are so correct about how music just makes us "feel". I get teary often just from the emotion of the music. I would love you to do Stargazers from the Tampere show! Loving the ride!
You are correct. Its the first track on the CD as well. The whole CD is one of my favorites ever.
That's me you're talking about when you stop to talk about the crowd reaction!!! It is beautiful to hear you say that, cause Nightwish always have that effect on me, every time I watch them, they take me to another whole level!!
🙌🙌🙌
After watching your videos since you started I can honestly say - you've become my number 1 reaction channel! I LOVE your videos. Informative. Fun. Real love for the music. Your emotions over the past couple of Nightwish tracks say everything - one day I'll see this group live and probably lose my sh*t! What an incredible show they put on! Keep up the awesome work
Thank you so much!
This made me so happy dude! This is my favorite song of theirs and I'm so glad you liked it. You've quickly elevated to being my favorite reaction creator, and this solidified it for me. Thank you so much Tank! Let's Goooo
Thank you so much, man! Much appreciated!
Great!! 🤘You were the 1st guy in the entire NW reaction chain to ever notice the keybod & guitar solo battle on stage
Ok seen your reactions before and love them. Sorry it took so long to subscribe. Your reaction in this video is exactly how I feel watching almost every Nightwish video. Makes me tear up. Keep going sir! Your doing a super job!!
Jeeez, man, you've worked with Walk Off The Earth? ...and Benetar? I've been a big Pat Benetar fan since "In the Heart of the Night" came out WAY back in the day - oops, just aged myself there, lol. Pat is a hell of a performer! I've loved Walk Off The Earth since they first popped up on radar. Such a unique sound. Seems like such sweet people too. Reminded me of Now Now at first. Isn't it crazy how Nightwish just grabs your soul? That band, those musicians, the crew, the engineers; everyone surrounding Nightwish has just become the gold standard in my view since becoming a mega-fan back in late '99. You seem like a cool dude; I'm honored you're a member of the ever growing NWA. Cheers!
Yup, I’ve done years of touring with both bands. Fantastic people, all of them.
I KNEW you would going to love this song, and I knew you were going to dig the gerb shots near the end when they pull all the instruments back. This has got to be one of my top 5 nightwish songs too. I've been waiting for this one!
Man I always like to see the crowd going crazy too and this makes me tear up the same way. I even can not explain why, perhaps because makes me remember a good time in my youth when I used to go a lot of shows and do the same stuff.
Love your reaction btw.
