    Thank you for a nice shout-out, but especially because you decided to continue exploring Nightwish music. Of course, I am a new subscriber.
    So you saw the documentary "Please learn the setlist.." - Floor joined the band at the beginning of October 2012, and this concert took place at the beginning of August 2013. Floor had 10 months to perfect the performance of an entire setlist composed of songs recorded in the studio with the first 2 singers of the band. The result, as you can see, is incredible. This largely explains the enthusiasm of fans from all over the world, as you rightly noted.
    I look forward to your next reactions. Know that many of us have gone through or are going through crises, the important thing is how we get out of them. And the fact that you listen to Nightwish is a positive fact, believe me 🤘
    All the best, from Romania!

    I enjoyed watching you enjoy this track. And, I'm impressed that you took the time to do some research on - IMO - the best band in the world. The musicianship of these guys is so tight. Floor is a phenom, and when you add Marko to the mix, the sound just goes up another level. Can't wait until your next Nightwish reaction.

    At 57 years of age I "discovered" Nightwish and Floor having somehow not heard of them before thanks to a good friend who pestered me in to listening to "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2015. I wasnt expecting to like what I saw and heard as I had preconceived ideas about symphonic metal but how wrong was I. I was blown away and have been ever since. Phenomenal band preferably enjoyed live with all the constituent parts masters of their craft. Thank you Melvin bang on. 🙏😊👍❤️

    I am so impressed that after one song, you watched Please Learn the Setlist….. I only know of one other reactor who has put in the time, and it was well into their Nightwish journey! You mentioned in GLS that Floor looked happy. You nailed it! She had just been made a permanent member of the band, they were headlining at the biggest metal festival in the world in front of 82,000 fans, most of whom had never seen her fronting the band. The moment was epic, one of the greatest live performances ever!

    Hi Melvin, I enjoyed your reaction very much. Please continue exploring Nightwish, they are indeed delightful, I first heard them back around 2003 or 2004 and I haven't had a time in my life when I haven't listened to their music. Hell, we danced to Nightwish at my wedding last month. And I love all the front women they've had, but Marko is my favourite singer. Greetings from Germany.

    Nightwish is a perfect live band, not just because they are all so incredibly talented and amazing show masters, but also for the diversity of (incredible well crafted) songs they bring to the stage.
    I mean, they literally have a range that goes from Celtic folk to trash metal and anything in between, yet every single one of those songs is distinctly Nightwish.
    No wonder (personal opinion coming) that we see a rise in popularity of metal music, with all the generic same-ish pop music without any depth to the songs, more and more people have started looking for alternatives, and many who landed in the world of metal soon realized that the musicianship is far beyond what they were used to, and the songs actually have meaning too.
    It's not just bands like Nightwish who have gained a new audience, a lot of the metal bands out there have found new (unexpected) fans all over the globe, in large part thnx to internet and sites like TH-cam where all these songs and reactions can be found.
    The music industry itself eventually will shift again, they always follow the money and when generic pop starts to underperform, they'll simply follow the money.
    So for me it's hoping the money can be found in rock and metal ;)

    • @melvinthinks
      @melvinthinks  ปีที่แล้ว

      100% agree with you. And I'd be really interested to hear Nightwish perform some 'Trash metal' 😜 Assume you mean 'Thrash'. But I reckon Nightwish would sound great with garbage bins too - and create a new sub genre of metal 🗑️
      I hope you are 'semi' right in your prediction re the rise in popularity of metal music. The danger is (similar to Grunge in early 1990's) is when it becomes too popular, it ultimately becomes the new 'pop' and gets saturated with talentless/manufactured acts jumping on a the bandwagon. Even the fashion trends start being adopted by non metalheads because they think it's cool!
      Record companies will always follow the money. But I think they are heavily focused on what AI is going to do and how they can monetise that. Why do they needs real artists when a computer can do a song for them? That's when real music fans and bands will come out in force. And that's also when I think live music will thrive more then ever before.

    • @j0hnn13K
      @j0hnn13K ปีที่แล้ว

      @@melvinthinks oops, yes Thrash hehehe, my bad ;)
      And true, when something rises in popularity, we sadly always get the "wannabe" acts who get pushed by the industry, to dilute the pool of talent, altho i do think it would be harder because the music is more complex, needs at least a grain of talent i think. hehehe
      And yup, AI is the hot new ticket, but it's also a double edged sword.
      It might be able to create "perfect" songs at some point, but it wont ever get the "human touch" the emotions right, at least i do not believe that can be machine-learned.
      And if they are not honest about the music being AI (fake), they risk a new "Milli Vanilli" situation, which basically kills of the entire thing over night.
      Imagine going to a "concert" by your favorite AI, computer on stage with a IT guy? lol
      Joking here ofc, but i think they underestimate the willingness of people to pay for fake music.
      I do agree the real fans and musicians will come out in force against it tho.
      The industry might think AI is the future of movie/tv/music, and it will be to some degree, but i do not see it take over those industries completely, as the audience will not go along with it, at least not the current audience who still know actual "human music/movies/tv".

    Subbed after your first reaction to this amazing band. When you said, "is she on the floor?", I started to giggle and actually spit angel food cake at my monitor😂 Love your sense of humor and the fact that you even knew Floor's name for the first reaction. This time when you said you'd watched the documentary already, you impressed me even more. Saw in your reply to a previous comment that it would take you 20 years to get through all NW's videos - that won't upset any of us at all. I watch a lot of Nightwish reactors, I save my very favorite reactions to a playlist - proportionally, I don't save many, but I've saved both of yours already.

    Good reaction video! I enjoyed!
    NW really is like a family. How they behave around each other. But that family also includes their employees (crew). When the pandemic hit, all musicians lost their jobs when there were no gigs. But the situation hit these technical side workers worse because they lost all income. That's where NW did great, they paid an extra bonus to their crew members. And Marko commented on it by saying "you have to take care of your own family".
    During the pandemic, Crewish was born, a band formed by NW employees who made an album of NW cover songs. Changing the genre of each song to a completely different one! NW and their label let Crewish keep all the money they got from album sales. It was their support for their family!
    Sometimes we see on social media leisure photos taken during the NW tour with Nightwish + Crewish members mixed up. They might be at another band's concert or in a restaurant, etc. During the tour, they really live together without borders. Like family...
    And apparently there is also a desire to get on NW's tour as a support band. Some bands have been there more than once.
    I remember last year when Arch Enemy came to Finland and their singer Alissa was interviewed. When she heard that NW were performing at the same festival, she immediately said, "oh, I have to get to see them and hug each of them. We toured a few years ago with their support band and it was the best tour ever."
    So, the NW family might be surprisingly big...

    Jukka left because of migraines and insomnia. There are videos where you'll see him grab his head - it's the only indication that something is wrong because as you said he's a machine - he just kept on playing.
    And reiterating what Gabriel said - not even a year and we have a perfect concert - Floor took the songs written for the other singers and made them her own without losing the essence of what was in the originals. And the high energy of this venue. OMG
    When you get to The Greatest Show on Earth choose the Tampere concert - I think you'll like it better

    • @melvinthinks

  • @chriso6719

    Marko did a lot of backing or co-lead vocals, he and Floor always sounded great singing together. He did a few lead vocals too, including The Islander and their cover/tribute of Pink Floyd's High Hopes. That was a 3 octave glissando that Floor pulled off in tandem with Marko's. The studio version, from the Tarja era, only had Marko's 2 octave slide. As you see, Emppu can shred, but he plays just what the song requires. Severe insomnia is what caused Jukka's health issues, Only a couple more concerts on the tour after Wacken, he decided to step aside the following summer during the recording of the next album, but he remains with the band in management. Btw, the Uilleann pipes also allow Troy to sing, he does a lot of harmonies, and his vocal role has expanded since Marko left in 2021.

    This song is Like a Coffee with Red Bull .... On Steroids 🤘❤‍🔥🤘.
    The “scream” at the end is called a glissando, going from low to high and back, for classically trained singers this is an exercise to warm up the vocal cords, so Floor will do this probably every day before breakfast .
    AND,...Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bull whip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch.
    Plus, Floor is a Pantera fan, like her husband Hannes (Sabaton drummer)!

    Great reaction. Like the Pantera shout out. Note that Floor is a big Pantera fan (one of the bands that got her interested in metal). It was one of the things that she bonded with her husband Hannes van Dahl (drummer for Sabaton) over. She was touring with her band Revamp in the States with Sabaton supporting another band. This was after Wacken and she had been named the official singer of Nightwish but she was still keeping her previous band Revamp going. The guitarist for Sabaton was a big fan of Nightwish and told Hannes about her. They were hanging after the first show of the tour drinking whiskey which they discovered they both liked. She asked if he wanted to share a cigar and Hannes was like, this beautiful woman loves whiskey, cigars and Pantera, I need to marry her. Here is the interview. th-cam.com/video/Hl9INVeS0VY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oQmJJXgcb9GeF15Q. They are such an adorable couple and have a great love for each other.
