@@Roguenjosh Consider the fact that she wasn't even confirmed as full-time at this point. It makes her performance even more incredible. She blew EVERYONE away. She sang like her career was depending on it. This is basically Nightwish condensed into a song. Floor's a charisma machine. Not since Freddie Mercury at Live Aid (I was a 17 year old watching it on TV) have I seen a lead singer have an audience at her beck and call. They were in the palm of her hand, and she wasn't letting go until SHE was ready! I urge you to play the audio version of the live album and tell me it is not the best live performance you have witnessed. 👍
"Ghost River", "Song of Myself", "Romanticide" are heavier ones in Wacken 2013. "Ever Dream" (Official Live) Wacken 2013 is not as heavy, but heavy enough for me, I love that song, it's beautiful and powerful. Floor and Marko together on vocals. They complement each other amazingly! One of the best things in Nightwish! On GLS and Storytime no male vocals. Can't stress enough how important part of Nightwish Marko 's vocals are. He also has a big vocal role on those 3 heavier ones I mentioned.
@@Roguenjosh if u ever get a chance to listen to their latest album. human nature, u will find that it is a lot different to all the other albums they have released in the past.
Yeah, Ever Dream is probably my favorite example of Floor and Marcos unmatchable power together. When they do those three sections together, I always scream and yell, I can't help it LOL
I used to be a die hard Tarja or nothing fan. Floor has had me falling in love with her lately and I'm not ready to admit that to myself properly yet. She's what nightwish always needed
Floor is the ultimate lead singer. She's got 82,000 in the palm of her hand for 2 hours. Everything live with floor is a treasure. I like your reactions, Watch the entire Wacken show it's all as good as this.
More, 82,000+ people attended this Nightwish concert. Her stage presence made her recruit an entire Nightwish army and prepare them to go to battle for her.
This actually was the first Nightwish song I ever heard! My brother and I were alone in our church building, making plans to leave the state and our lives there behind. After hearing about thirty seconds of this video, I hooked my phone up to the sound system, started the song over, and cranked up the volume. Afterwards, my brother said, "This is the kind of music dreams are made of." I have no doubt we found it all the more inspiring because we knew we were headed to a better place and a better life. We've been in love with them ever since. Being introduced to them via Imaginerium was a real privilege. We got to hear some of their best music (IMO) performed by the best singer (Floor) by watching the live videos, and then we got to dive back into the Tarja and Annette eras knowing it would only get better.
@@Roguenjosh Lynette is right, "Yours is an Empty Hope" is a good one to check out from Nightwish, but also Revamp's "Disdain" (live at Grasspop), "Wild Card", and "I Can Become" are awesome as well.
Ha ha - I heard that too and knew he'd need to take a gander at Yours Is An Empty Hope! The Wembley performance! Although, he'll get a taste of it with Ghost River at Wacken...
For some heavy songs: "Song of myself" and "Romanticide" from wacken 2013, "Yours is an Empty Hope" from Wembley 2015, and "Weak Fantasy" from Tampere.
@@Roguenjosh just make sure of the video you are going to pick. Some reactors use one that is slower (ripped from a blue ray), and for us who know it, it sounds horrible. This should do it th-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/w-d-xo.html
A couple of my favourites, drop these into youtube search: Nightwish - Dark Chest of Wonders (Wacken 2013) Nightwish - 10th Man Down - Live In Buenos Aires 2018 - Decades Tour
Great song yeah. I think you would like "Romanticide", also from Wacken and "Yours is an Empty Hope" which I think is at Wembley, (Floor does a bit of growling in that one).
@@Roguenjosh Yes, you can hear her growl more clearly at Wembley. And even moreso at Tampere, though I think Wembley has the best combination of energy, video, and sound. But all three (including the cruise version) are definitely worth watching/hearing.
Anything from Wacken is awesome, Why not try out Ghost River next and like someone else has requested Romanticide and Yours is a empty hope either from Wembley or the Cruise they did your choise.. Rock on
Was there, Germany 2013. Drove 4 hours after work to get there barely in time and payed the ticket for the entire festival just for this gig. It was worth it. By far the best live performance I ever saw. Although every Nightwish gig has this energy...
There was 82,000 at Wacken 2013. I was there. It was an experience that ive never felt before. Ive seen Nightwish 4 times with Tarja, Anette and twice with Floor. Floor is the Queen. Floor is the Valykrie, Shes the Celtic Boudiccea. Can imagine her in a horsedrawn chariot leading the troops. She leads every performance commanding the stage. I never felt that with Tarja or Anette.
Yours is an Empty Hope at Wembley! Also yeah that's the kicker with this band, they can all do so many things, so much talent that there's a song out there for everyone
Next up Song of myself, Ghost river (not to be mistaken with Ghost love score), Romanticide, Dark chest of wonders, all from this show. Weak fantasy from Tampere 2016, Devil and the deep dark ocean from Buenos Aires, also Slaying the dreamer, Getsemane, Kinslayer from the same show are great
That Buenos Aires crowd is nuts, they make the 2013 Wacken crowd look sedate. I also really love The Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires performance (also a great showcase for both Marko and Floor’s vocals).
@@Roguenjosh Dark Chest Of Wonders (Wacken 2013) and Shudder Before The Beautiful (Official Live) those two are openers full of energy and pyrotechnics. Latter one is from Wembley Arena London concert 2015.
Try "Last ride of the day" live Tampere, great audio /video quality. This song is like cousin for "Storytime"...And Floor shines there too ( Well, she shines at every stage).
Brother, do not worry about what the first song you heard is. Your journey has only just begun, think about all the other songs you have not yet reacted to. I've been listening to Nightwish for over 20 years and I have yet to find a bad song. You're in for a great experience. Enjoy the ride! :)
You most likely need to check out Yours is an empty hope for more growling. Romanticide and Song of myself would be right up your alley as well. Im glad you're enjoying Nightwish!
Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by the grace, beauty and sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that has never returned. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
This was awesome. I've only ever heard Ghost Love Story (and obviously all the people reacting to it) and it's just so far elevated above everything else I've ever experienced that I guess I was afraid of watching more Nightwish and being disappointed? I actually clicked this video by accident and this was really awesome. Glad I saw it. Somewhat jealous you got to experience it all live back in the day.
The bass is a Warwick Buzzard. John Entwistle played one :) Great reaction. Subbed and hoping you do more Nightwish. Wait til you hear Romanticide, Everdream and Yours is an Empty Hope. All definitely your style. Be safe and well my friend.
They have 4 professionally recorded and released full concerts with Floor. There are other concerts as well but these 4 are the high quality one's that Nightwish has made releases of. Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018.
Now you reacted to one of my favorite songs of my favorite band, made me sub! Next 7 Days to the Wolves live at Wembley Arena, that’ll leave you breathless but empowered. Greetings from Finland from Nightwish fan since 1997, have a nice musical journey!
Nightwish Chicago Brigade checking in. Great reaction. You can see how much fun they had playing together and it shows in their music. Its not stretch of the imagination to say that Floor helped to heal the band and make them whole. Its wonderful to see people enjoy their music for the first time. I had heard about Nightwish as much as 15 years ago from some Euro friends, but for some stupid reason I never checked them out. With the Covid lockdown, I had all the time to see what I had missed, and boy, was I a damn fool for not listening to my English friends so long ago. They are like a great high, with no bad side effects!
When you're new to Nightwish and start watching the live videos, a strange thing happens: you find yourself saying "this is my favorite Nightwish song so far" five videos in a row. Wacken 2013 is really the live Nightwish touchstone. My suggestions for next video are both from Wacken, so feel free to ignore me, everybody does. One you can't miss is "Dark Chest Of Wonders", the concert opener. As you can imagine, with a show they were filming in front of an audience that large, they opened HARD. For something a little softer (chuckles to himself), "Ever Dream" is just stunning. It's even more of what you like so much about "Storytime". Live is definitely the way to go with Nightwish. That interaction between the band members and the band and the crowd brings in an extra element that is the reason their fans are legion.
"This is what I thought they were gonna be like!" You will never hear two similar songs from this band xD if you don't like one, just go to the next one down, and you'll say "wait is this even the same band" Clearly you want some heavier stuff, in that case you've got to do Romanticide
Subscribed for more Nightwish. The Nightwish Army is here. 😀 Storytime is an awesome song. Great reaction. Song of Myself, Romanticide, and Ghost River from this show are killer as well. Yours is an empty hope (Floor growls) from Wembley, Weak Fantasy from Tampere, and Slaying the Dreamer from Buenos Aires also kick ass. The live shows which I mentioned were all turned into DVD’s and Live Albums. They all feature Floor and have the best audio and video quality.
Great reaction, thank's! I guess you're hooked now. Just go with the flow. There's two ways forward, chronologically or by preference. I'll go back to my corner of the Nightwish world and let the pro's, the army guide you. Enjoy!
Floor is Dutch and she is also called the Dutch Windmill and you have to listen to I wish i had a angel, ever dream, dark chest of wonders that's the opening of the show in Wacken. At Wacken there are 82000 people
You will have to watch "The greatest show on earth" live at Tampere. It's long, but it is my tour de force of Nightwish live- especially if you get the video with lyrics. The performance is a story telling you will likely love.
Good, honest review. Glad that you really liked this one. "Ghost Love Score" is the chance to showcase the gee-wow of Floor's vocals for newbies, but not their most broadly appealing song. If you liked the feel of this song, gotta do "Romaticide", if you haven't already. Also, "Everdream".
There is some thing in their set list to meet every ones expectation. There is the Wembley , Tampere and Rio? concerts. I appreciate their changes they make mid songs.
You might try out "Romanticide", "Dark Chest Of Wonders" or "Ghost River" live from Wacken 2013. "Shudder Before The Beautiful", "Yours Is An Empty Hope", "Weak Fantasy" and "7 Days To The Wolves" from Wembley 2015. "10th man down", "The Devil And the Deep Dark Ocean", "Slaying The Dreamer", "I Want My Tears Back" and "Elan" live from Buenos Aires 2018.
Terrific reaction! I think "Storytime" is probably the best Nightwish song for brand new listeners to experience as their first foray into the band. It showcases their collective skill and range of styles. "Ghost Love Score" seems to be the video a lot of reacters start with and, while awesome, it's not what one would call a "standard" NW song (if there is such a thing). It's considered one of their big three set pieces, along with "Poet and the Pendulum" and "Greatest Show on Earth". Anyway, I enjoyed your reaction. You may want to watch "Seven Days to the Wolves" at Wembley. I think you'd like it.
I do think Wacken is their best live show and I cannot stop listening to this one. If I'm not mistaking it was Floors first live show? Or definitely first tour.
It may be a good time for you to check out Slaying the Dreamer, live, Buenos Aries 2018. It’s a bit more filthy... older Nightwish but Floor is, um, unbelievable. You are welcome 😁
MY recommendations for your NEXT Nightwish vids are as follows: 1) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 2) Romanticide (Wacken 2913), 3) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 4) Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean (Official Live In Buenos Aires 2018), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere 2015).
Yeah, wish I was there, 😆 I just discovered nightwish a couple of years ago and never heard of them now I’m hooked on the band, I listen to them every day especially at work. Thanks 😊
Weak Fantasy live in Tampere 2015. Angry Floor absolutely destroys shit all over the stage - awesome. Similarly, Your’s is an Empty Hope live at Wembly 2015 - super heavy song with Floor growling through all the choruses. Insane For super crazy vocal gymnastics try Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean live from Buenos Aires 2018. Heavy, super high energy duet between Marko and Floor, and her vocals will melt your brain brain. Have fun!
New sub. Exactly how I felt hearing Floor after falling in love with Nightwish in high school 2000-2004. Watch Greatest Show On Earth from Tampere 2015. Amazing show. Watch through credits at end as Sir Richard Dawkins has readings.
82,000 people. :) Doesn't matter which one you heard first. No same is the same. They can go soft. They can rock your head off. You can't put them into a box. Luke "Oh this is what I thought they'd be like". Nah dude.. Never know what you'll get.. but guaranteed you'll like everything. EVERY SINGLE SONG IS DIFFERENT AND HAS THAT NIGHTWISH MAGIC. Whatever preconceived notion people have about Nightwish can be thrown out the fn window. There's no TYPICAL Nightwish. Thats the beauty.
Hey have this other channel where I post 2 reactions every day!
When Floor tells you to clap, you clap. Simple as that 😂😂😂
Hahaha, 83k people can’t be wrong!
Except for the one dude in the hat who is obviously lost
@@adamdrangstveit9079 he had forgotten to replace the battery of his Hearing aid !!
When she tell you to clap, you ask "How loudly?" :D
@@adamdrangstveit9079 that dude is NOT feeling it 😂 He always cracks me up 😄
Nightwish+Floor is Match made in METAL HEAVEN !!
For sure!

Roguenjosh definitely look at romanticide, from the same concert!
@@eastbaymauiboy Love the 3rd section, when Marko joins Floor, while Floor is still singing. Someone said Floor feeds Marko.
82,000 people and it looks like they all know the lyrics 😀
Massive!
She's the choir mistress!

Awesome, thank you!
I have never seen/ heard anything like Nightwish! It is truly the greatest show on earth!

@@Roguenjosh indeed it was. Crazy concert and atmosphere. By far the best live gig I've seen in my life. And I've seen plenty.
There was 82,000 at Wacken 2013. I was there. It was an experience that ive never felt before. Ive seen Nightwish 4 times with Tarja, Anette and twice with Floor. Floor is the Queen. Floor is the Valykrie, Shes the Celtic Boudiccea. Can imagine her in a horsedrawn chariot leading the troops. She leads every performance commanding the stage. I never felt that with Tarja or Anette.
Yours is an Empty Hope at Wembley! Also yeah that's the kicker with this band, they can all do so many things, so much talent that there's a song out there for everyone
Romanticide and Ghost River! Whole new level!
This is what happens when a Valkyrie comes to life and steps on stage.
She’s pretty awesome
Next up Song of myself, Ghost river (not to be mistaken with Ghost love score), Romanticide, Dark chest of wonders, all from this show.
Weak fantasy from Tampere 2016,
Devil and the deep dark ocean from Buenos Aires, also Slaying the dreamer, Getsemane, Kinslayer from the same show are great
Awesome, so much good stuff to get into!
That Buenos Aires crowd is nuts, they make the 2013 Wacken crowd look sedate. I also really love The Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires performance (also a great showcase for both Marko and Floor’s vocals).
@@Tyrannulet2k Also from Buenos Aires: Slaying the Dreamer, and I want my Tears Back (in which Floor, in "armor", dances all over the place).
A lot of good suggestions already. Also try Song of Myself from this show. And 7 Days to the Wolves from Wembley.2015.
The nightwish army are so supportive!
Dark Chest Of Wonders from the same concert. It's the opener 4 minute high energy song.
Hell yes I’d love to see them at full energy with the crowds full on excitement at the start of a show!
@@Roguenjosh Dark Chest Of Wonders (Wacken 2013) and Shudder Before The Beautiful (Official Live) those two are openers full of energy and pyrotechnics. Latter one is from Wembley Arena London concert 2015.

Awesome thanks for the recommendation!
You’ve got a great journey ahead of you! I’ll stick around to see it!!
Thanks Luke, heaps keen!
The last rides is just like this…AMAZING
Every song from this concert is pure gold hope you will do a few more of them. Thankyou
The recording quality was so great for this show too!
You will love last ride of the day from the same concert it's a epic closer..
I'm sure you would LOVE "Weak Fantasy" live @ Tampere 2015!
If you loved that you will love Wembley: Shudder Before The Beautiful. It’s awesome.
"Romanticide" is a must listen and the version from this show is outstanding.
Cool reaction vid! Probably Song of Myself from the same venue will be one that you'll like, thanks again for the reaction 😊
This is one of those songs that is always in my head. I LOVE this song. Thanks for the video!!

They have 4 professionally recorded and released full concerts with Floor. There are other concerts as well but these 4 are the high quality one's that Nightwish has made releases of. Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley 2015 and Buenos Aires 2018.
Oh nice! Thanks for letting me know!

For a bit of heaviness with Floor growling, check out Yours is an Empty Hope live Wembley.
Oh man, if you like this, you must see "Your is a empty hope - Live Wembley".
Yeah a few people have said that, super excited for that
Ever Dream from the same concert. Great reaction.
Thanks Amando!

There is some thing in their set list to meet every ones expectation. There is the Wembley , Tampere and Rio? concerts. I appreciate their changes they make mid songs.
Wacken 2013 = best concert ever ❤
So huge
You will adore Song of Myself.
I have seen the number was around 84,000 at this concert at Wacken.
You might try out "Romanticide", "Dark Chest Of Wonders" or "Ghost River" live from Wacken 2013. "Shudder Before The Beautiful", "Yours Is An Empty Hope", "Weak Fantasy" and "7 Days To The Wolves" from Wembley 2015.
"10th man down", "The Devil And the Deep Dark Ocean", "Slaying The Dreamer", "I Want My Tears Back" and "Elan" live from Buenos Aires 2018.
You should react to Floor performing The Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort in the Dutch tv show Beste Zangers. Such an amazing performance!
The whole wacken concert is golden. Just do them all :)
Terrific reaction! I think "Storytime" is probably the best Nightwish song for brand new listeners to experience as their first foray into the band. It showcases their collective skill and range of styles. "Ghost Love Score" seems to be the video a lot of reacters start with and, while awesome, it's not what one would call a "standard" NW song (if there is such a thing). It's considered one of their big three set pieces, along with "Poet and the Pendulum" and "Greatest Show on Earth". Anyway, I enjoyed your reaction. You may want to watch "Seven Days to the Wolves" at Wembley. I think you'd like it.
Thank you so much! Yeah I reckon this is a great intro to NW!
My first hearing of nightwish was either Elvenpath or Astral Romance. Worked out just fine. ;)
@@FryingPan76 For me, it was "Nemo" and "Dark Chest of Wonders".
@@chryse That's great. But these weren't available in 1997. ;)
Mine was Planet Hell. Completely blew me away
Yours is an empty hope live in Wembley... You can see another stunning side of Floor there.
there is a whole movie for the Imagineurum Album "Imaginaerum by Nightwish"
It's time to travel on the "Ghost River" from the same concert ; )
I’m a sucker for haunted bodies of water, so I’ll have to put it on the list!
I do think Wacken is their best live show and I cannot stop listening to this one. If I'm not mistaking it was Floors first live show? Or definitely first tour.
Yours is an Empty Hope live from Wembley is a heavy hitter! One of my favorites! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Song of Myself and Ever Dream
Oh you’re the first person to say ever dream!
I f ing love this song
My favourite nightwish track so far!
It may be a good time for you to check out Slaying the Dreamer, live, Buenos Aries 2018. It’s a bit more filthy... older Nightwish but Floor is, um, unbelievable. You are welcome 😁
MY recommendations for your NEXT Nightwish vids are as follows: 1) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 2) Romanticide (Wacken 2913), 3) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 4) Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean (Official Live In Buenos Aires 2018), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere 2015).
I like the idea of holding off on the huge ones!
82,000 people at wacken 2013 nightwish live show
So crazy
Yeah, wish I was there, 😆 I just discovered nightwish a couple of years ago and never heard of them now I’m hooked on the band, I listen to them every day especially at work. Thanks 😊
Your is an Empty Hope is another banger!
Sweet thanks again
Thanks!!!
If that worked for you try Ever Dream from the same festival or Last Ride of the Day, Wembley.
It did work for me so I’ll have to look out for those!
7 Days to the Wolves live @ Wembley, Weak Fantasy @ Tampere and Slaying The Dreamer @ Buenos Aires 2018
You can hear that this is an "Anette song" in the chorus, it's "lighter" than what Toumas wrote for Tarja and What he now writes for Floor.
Yeah listening again I can definitely hear that
“Song Of Myself” from the same show! 🤘
Marco`s bass is a Warwick Buzzard, dunno if anyone mentioned that.
«Yours is an empty hope» live from Wembley, is the next for you👍
Thanks for the recommendation!
Weak Fantasy live in Tampere 2015. Angry Floor absolutely destroys shit all over the stage - awesome.
Similarly, Your’s is an Empty Hope live at Wembly 2015 - super heavy song with Floor growling through all the choruses. Insane
For super crazy vocal gymnastics try Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean live from Buenos Aires 2018. Heavy, super high energy duet between Marko and Floor, and her vocals will melt your brain brain.
Have fun!
Well now I NEED to see angry floor!
You would enjoy Romanticide from this same show.
Yours is an empty hope, Shudder before the beautiful. There's your two next songs to check out. Both from Wembley, excellent!
Josh - Storytime is the most metal song I’ve heard from them
Romanticide - hold my beer
*hold my akvavit
New sub. Exactly how I felt hearing Floor after falling in love with Nightwish in high school 2000-2004. Watch Greatest Show On Earth from Tampere 2015. Amazing show. Watch through credits at end as Sir Richard Dawkins has readings.
Oh that’s cool! Thanks for the recommendation!
Romanticide should be next. It WILL blow your mind! Do live at Wacken. PLEASE!!!!!
82,000 people. :)
Doesn't matter which one you heard first. No same is the same. They can go soft. They can rock your head off. You can't put them into a box. Luke "Oh this is what I thought they'd be like". Nah dude.. Never know what you'll get.. but guaranteed you'll like everything. EVERY SINGLE SONG IS DIFFERENT AND HAS THAT NIGHTWISH MAGIC.
Whatever preconceived notion people have about Nightwish can be thrown out the fn window. There's no TYPICAL Nightwish. Thats the beauty.
