Let's send all our best vibes to our Valkyrie Queen as she undergoes her radiotherapy treatments following her breast cancer diagnosis. Get well soon, Goddess!
That showopener was Floors "baptism by fire" to the big European nightwish fanbase, for shure there were some shows on the continent before Wacken but only for a 3 to 5k audiance.. Nightwish was the end of the whole festival,,,and Floor.... She was superb. She not only took the spectators in the palm of her hand from this first Song on, she closed her hand, held... and she only opened it after the end the show closer " Last ride of the day".
Love watching your reactions. You know and love music and have such insightful comments for Nightwish and Floor who have brought me back to music after such a long time.
Tuomas has the Total Vison on how he wants to tell each story through song. The lyrics, the instrumentation (with input from the others), the lights & flames. His creative imagination is unlimited.
Opener for this concert. What amazes me is that after so much touring, so many shows, they still bring the fire every. single. performance. No slacking, no letdown. In addition to being world class artists, they obviously truly love what they do.
Dark Chest of Wonders has a funny little backstory. This is from 'Once Upon a Nightwish: The Official Biography 1996 - 2006', the timeline is 2003-04, when they were making the Once album, which ended up being a huge success: ---------------------------------------------- The rest of the Nighwish Famiglia had also learned to trust Tuomas' visions. "The band understands that the final versions sound nothing like the demos", Tuomas says. "I had to try and make them hear an orchestra and vocals here, a choir there, in order to convince them that it will sound good in the end. And no one ever said anything against it." "Tuomas can hear the kettledrums and choirs and orchestras in his head, but we can only hear the keyboards and the rhythm", Jukka laughs. "Although he tries to explain all those things, you really can't figure out what the song will sound like in the end. But you can't object, either. When we first went through the songs, I felt like there was no hit material on the album. Even 'Nemo' didn't catch me at first. Marco was initially completely dumbfounded by Tuomas' plans. "I often had to ask Tuomas what the hell's going on in the song", Marco laughs. "Like, 'Is this where the vocals will be? Is this the chorus?' I obviously needed some information about the backing tracks as well, to know where I could let it rip, and I often wondered would there even be room for anything else - like, 'How much stuff are you still going to layer on top of this?!" I was still feeling skeptical while we were doing the demo version of 'Dark Chest of Wonders', and I really didn't get the track until I heard the finished version. On the demo, Tarja's new singing style was still at a try-out phase, so you couldn't really hear the power in the song. But after proper production, the track changed quite radically and you could hear the point." Tero (engineering, producer since 1997) was another dissident not always convinced by Tuomas' ideas. "I was so wrong about 'Dark Chest of Wonders'", he admits. "I hated that song and I even suggested It'd be left out altogether, partly because the original lyrics had magic wands and stuff like that in them, but also because it sounded really messy. But once we got it on tape, I realized it sounded so good that it should be the opening track. I guess I was initially under the wrong impression that on this album, the band sort of...grows up."
Great reaction to a great song. It makes me happy seeing you enjoy it so much. I think it’s about time for you to react to EPICA, another great symphonic metal band. From the Netherlands. Any song by them is okay by me. Get ready to get your mind blown 🤯 by these great musicians. 🤘🫶🇳🇱
What shall I say?... The superlatives that Nightwish would do justice have yet to be invented.There are some world-class bands... but Nightwish is above all!...Get well soon Floor,the world needs you!
And that is how you open a show, and introduce your new singer. Wacken is a multi day metal festival in Germany, Nightwish headlined in 2013. The artist just before them that day?- Alice Cooper. The song was also the show opener at the 2005 Helsinki show (End of an Era DVD) , original lead singer Tarja Turunen's last Nightwish show.
Enough cannot be said about Nightwish. But something needs to be said of just how important the European festival circuit is to just how sophisticated and constantly renewed the this slice of the music scene is. Alice Cooper had just finished on the other stage before this song. The connections and interplay between the new and old artists is always a rich area of cross fertilization and connection to the roots.
Great reaction, I love how you pointed out some things in it that I never realized were there. You literally opened the chest once more to point out another wonder of Tuomas' genius. I have literally heard this song probably hundred's of times. It's their best show opener and definitely one of my favorite songs. Wacken Open Air is a festival, not everyone there was a fan, but I'm pretty sure most left as a fan after this awesome performance. It was one of those nights where the universe aligns with the weather, the vibe, the performance and the crowd, pure magic. 🤘🏽
Thanks so much Little Raven! Man they are so good. I love that I’ve discovered them through this channel. What an eye opener! Can’t wait for more from them.
Those moans Floor throws in at 6:34 and 6:49 are magical. This was her first appearance before the European fans, who are the hardest of the hard core, and she had them won over in minutes with this opening number. I don't think I've ever seen a band having this much fun on stage, and I think the mood was contagious - 82,000 people caught it and went along for the ride.
Thanks for sending out another Nightwish superhit. I think I speak for most of us in the Nightwish Army when I say that your reaction and analysis are spot-on again. Music teachers can rock too! Nightwish Army, USA Division reporting.
🤩👍💥💯 Such a cool way to open the gig as a headliner at the Wacken Open Air 2013 festival. One of the biggest, if not The biggest Metal festival on earth. The biggest audience for Floor Jansen to perform by the date, but somehow it doesn't show there's loads and loads of pressure on her(& whole group) shoulders. 😁👌 That tells something about their 'professionalism'. Cool reaction män and keep on rockin with this magical band. 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 next by them 👀 (???)
How to grab an audience from the get go and not let up. There’s no let up in the 15-song set. I think Floor ‘passed the audition’ for Europe. It will likely be 2024 before Nightwish gets back to the States. Although, they are playing a cruise ship leaving from Florida to the Bahamas January 30, if you have the money.
What a way to open a show! Great reaction! Floor was only with the band about 10 months at the time of this concert (she replaced Annette Olzon who was let go earlier in the tour) so this was a lot of people's first time seeing her. F.Y.I.- Jukka is pronounced You-ka as Js sound like Ys in many scandindinavian languages. Same goes for Floor, Jansen pronounced Yahnsen.
For me this was at first a sort of meh song, but it grew on me fast and now it's one of the most lasting favorites of mine form the Wacken 2013 show. What a show opener! Floor is giving it the core which carries the melodic changes into a coherent whole. What can be said about Jukka has been said before, it's a matter of taste which drummer you prefer. Marco is going to town with his inimitable tone in this one, kudos. And of course Emppu is playing it mostly straight, but hamming on the posture, our happy performer.
I just watched both of your videos on NIGHTWISH. I'm a huge fan.( 68 years old). You are doing a great job reacting to NIGHTWISH. They are my favorite band. Buckle your search belt and get ready for a wicked ride. I've seen hundreds of bands in my lifetime and my most memorable was Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden for the filming of the Song remains the Same. The second was NIGHTWISH. They have so much energy and the power of the band must be seen live. You are going to have a tough time figuring out what Song to react to next. I would not go with the Poet and the Pendulum, unbelievable Song but hold on to after doing more songs. Watch your comments, NIGHTWISH fans know their stuff. I've been a fan for a few years but others have been fans since the conception so Listen to them. Keep doing NIGHTWISH reactions and keep up the good work.
Nightwish , Ladies and Gentlemen !!! They have opened the Valhalla gates , and now the Valkyrie Goddess walks among us 🤘🤩🤘!!! This is one of three great openings from them ("Dark Chest Of Wonders", "Shudder Before The Beautiful" and now "Music" intro followed by "Noise" ). This was Floor’s coming out party at Wacken with Nightwish. First time most of the crowd had ever seen or heard her with Nightwish, as she joined this tour when they were in the US and later South America, and hadn’t recorded and released any new music with her yet. Needless to say, she won them over immediately, capturing their souls from the getgo and not letting go for 15 songs. The whole show is Legendary. Nuff Said !!!! PLUS... Highly Recommend Nightwish 7 Days To The Wolves (Live at Wembley Arena) th-cam.com/video/XvsfwAPbWXc/w-d-xo.html !!!! Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia 🤘😎🤘. You earned this subscription !!!
I love how you described my favorite band (Nightwish) with my second favorite band EPICA lol. I definitely recommend Santa Terra , Epica and Floor singing WOW .. Unleash the Archers... Awakening
Bob, lets dig into this, especially at 11:30, Tuomas writes from observation and experiences. You know he has some well used pseudonyms for himself in lyrics with references thereto, so when you have boy, poet, dreamer, writer/song writer or ocean soul in a lyric, it is Tuomas referencing himself. The dark chest did and maybe does still exist, Tuomas found it in his grand parents attic full of toys and story books that carried his imagination off in excitement to all manner of wondrous places. Therefore at the referenced time and throughout this song Floor sings "one with a pure heart" in a very high head voice, just as you might expect from an excited small child, that being Tuomas himself. Now look at the lyrics again and it all makes sense, Tuomas never includes notes or lyrics that are "fillers" or embellishment, it is all there for a very good reason, sometimes almost impenetrable or ambiguous. "Of the one with pure heart, once so long ago".
If you would have had ticket for the Imaginarium tour, you would not have seen Floor. At the time the tour came near Pennsylvania Annette Olzen was still the singer of Nightwish. Floor replaced Anette mid-tour after the "Denver Debacle"
I’m sure many people have already said this but it’s Jukka pronounced with a Y NOT THE J :) No biggie just figured I’d throw that in there- keep the Nightwish videos coming!!! 😃😃
@@bobcieslinski I remember the current drummer Kai saying in an interview that in one of the songs on the newest album he made some things more challenging for himself intentionally. The song is called Shoemaker, and it's a tribute to a scientist named Eugene Shoemaker who is the only human who is buried on the Moon. There is an official lyric video, but I also would recommend a live performance from Deichbrand festival from last summer. You would see both Kai and the new bassist Jukka in action. :)
Dear Bob, Please react to Epica (with guest Floor Jansen !) Sancta terra (Live with full orchestra) ! You will please your audience but you will be pleased too :)
Cool thing is that right after this opener comes I Wish I Had an Angel, another banger, which makes it an incredible power combo! th-cam.com/video/Mn1V90FZLBs/w-d-xo.html
@@bobcieslinski Oh, too bad! Love watching your videos! Have you ever been to Poland? Do you know what part of the country your grands (or their parents) were from?
@@HanemanHunters this is really cool connecting with you since you are from Poland. I am hoping to visit one day. My Father and Mother did a trip to see where we were from. I’ll have to do it one day too.

Jukka had to stop drumming at the end of that tour in 2013. He was battling insomnia and migraines for years. He's still with Nightwish, but in an administrative capacity. His friend Kai Hahto from Wintersun has been with Nightwish since 2014. Also from Wintersun, bassist Jukka, has replaced Marko since 2021.
Kai had said that he had a lot to learn about showmanship from Jukka. :) And Jukka himself had said that had to learn showmanship too in the earlier days. :)
@@bobcieslinski you'll risk the wrath of the floor fanatics. Lol When it comes to floor, anything she covers from the Tarja era, is never as good as the original.
@@TheRealMediaMan I started my Nightwish journey with Ghost Love Score and Tarja was the singer. Then people asked me to check out Floor. I’ve heard from both camps. Honestly I think both ladies are amazing and bring a unique style to the group. I’ve enjoyed it all.

The awesomeness of Nightwish is beyond what I ever thought was possible!!! Completely mindblowing :D
I agree with you. Totally mind blowing.

One of the best show opener songs ever made.

Every Nightwish tune is a masterclass in, um, everything.
Such a fantastic show opener! If this doesn't get your blood pumping, then nothing will ☺
Love watching your reactions. You know and love music and have such insightful comments for Nightwish and Floor who have brought me back to music after such a long time.
Thanks so much David! I do love music which is why I teach it everyday and Nightwish is amazing!
This is maybe the best show opener of this Millenium. 😎👍
yep... thats the way you start a show ;)
For sure Dizzy.
This is how you start a show
Tuomas has the Total Vison on how he wants to tell each story through song. The lyrics, the instrumentation (with input from the others), the lights & flames.
His creative imagination is unlimited.
Thanks for all of the comments and info Donna!
I was one of the 82,000 fans🤘🤘
Nice
Lucky one 🤩😍

I like that moment when Emppu and Marco imperson the opening curtain for Floor. So clever.
Introducing the new Nightwish front woman to the big european crowd. Floor steps in to the driving musik. One shot for glory. Bullseye.
Great reaction to a great song. It makes me happy seeing you enjoy it so much.
I think it’s about time for you to react to EPICA, another great symphonic metal band. From the Netherlands. Any song by them is okay by me. Get ready to get your mind blown 🤯 by these great musicians. 🤘🫶🇳🇱
Thanks I’ll add them to the list.
Our "Dutch Chest Of Wonders" 🤗
What shall I say?... The superlatives that Nightwish would do justice have yet to be invented.There are some world-class bands... but Nightwish is above all!...Get well soon Floor,the world needs you!
Watch at 2:25 how Marko and Emppu make a scissor movement as to let the queen enter the stage❤
This group is just ❤️❤️
Such a great song! What a way to open a concert
Definitely one of the best Nightwish songs and this Wacken version remains the benchmark. Love your analysis ❤ 💥💥💥❤

The roll was double kick from the bass drums people go on about drummer hand speed which Jukka has but he has incredible feet as well
For sure. Man he really had them going.
This was literally the first time the European audiences had heard Floor in Nightwish. First song of the first concert in Europe.
Bob, lets dig into this, especially at 11:30, Tuomas writes from observation and experiences.
You know he has some well used pseudonyms for himself in lyrics with references thereto, so when you have boy, poet, dreamer, writer/song writer or ocean soul in a lyric, it is Tuomas referencing himself.

Now look at the lyrics again and it all makes sense, Tuomas never includes notes or lyrics that are "fillers" or embellishment, it is all there for a very good reason, sometimes almost impenetrable or ambiguous.
"Of the one with pure heart, once so long ago".

Sorry Jacqueline. My ears gravitate to the music first and lyrics second.
Bob, it's pronounced you-ka. He was great. He left the band in late 2014.
Quick question. Do you still teach band and if so do you use things like this to showcase unity in playing together? Just curious. 🤘🤘🤘🤘

His friend Kai Hahto from Wintersun has been with Nightwish since 2014.
Also from Wintersun, bassist Jukka, has replaced Marko since 2021.
The J's are pronounced as Y's Jukka is pronounced You-Ka and Jansen is Yea-nsen
VAH-ken 🙂
Also remember that "J" is pronounced /y/ in most every language that isn't English.
Thanks
just to drop a hint,, Jukka "you' ka" as Jansen is Yan' sen, get a kick out of your reactions,,
Jukka is a showman Kai is brilliant technically but boring
i think Kai is a mutch better drummer than Jukka.
@@mraijmann59 I refer you to my original comment or can’t you read
@@harrisonj0679 yes, and Kai is not boring al all at the drums
Kai had said that he had a lot to learn about showmanship from Jukka. :)
And Jukka himself had said that had to learn showmanship too in the earlier days. :)
@@mraijmann59 yep, not boring at all! 👍🏻 Always smiling and having so much fun ❤️
Ugh... how can you do this version and not the original?
I'll never understand this.
You think I should to the other one too?
@@bobcieslinski you'll risk the wrath of the floor fanatics. Lol
When it comes to floor, anything she covers from the Tarja era, is never as good as the original.
@@TheRealMediaMan I started my Nightwish journey with Ghost Love Score and Tarja was the singer. Then people asked me to check out Floor. I’ve heard from both camps. Honestly I think both ladies are amazing and bring a unique style to the group. I’ve enjoyed it all.
Emppu does so much that nobody notices!
The whole band is awesome for sure.
