![[Live] ศึกมหึมันส์มวยไทยสังเวียนเดือด เวทีมวยชั่วคราวสวนสยาม | จันทร์ 30 กันยายน 2567](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pM1k6f7JXUc/mqdefault.jpg)
Hello Jenna [ Koality Reactions ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community
🤘
Thank you Gabriel!! (I love that the Nightwish community is so tight-knit that everyone knows you're the bringer of Nightwish info.) Ahhh symphonic mental... this makes a lot of sense now. It did feel much more symphonic than what I was expecting. So cool that they worked with the London Philharmonic Orchestra!
Thank you for the warm welcome and all the band history. So lovely you're doing it in Ann's memory. I'll definitely be listening to more Nightwish, so thanks for the recommendations (and the links). Appreciate you! 🤍
@@KoalityReactions Now it's 11 PM here, and I found some time to review your reaction. First observation: the one who recommended Nightwish to you as an introduction to the Metal genre has all my respect, because this band has proven over time to be a real gateway for non-metalheads into a new musical universe. This is my situation as well, until a few years ago I listened to other genres of music, but only after listening to Nightwish did I feel that I had truly arrived at home, that my horizons had opened.
In the hope that you will continue to explore this real treasure of diamonds and pearls, you have my subscription.
All the best, from Romania!
I highly recommend pinning General Bardoc's post for reference
My general Bardac!
You Gabriel . You should have all free tickets to nightwish concerts to be honest...
This band blew my mind 3.5 years ago, and Floor is the greatest singer I have personally ever heard. Her versatility is boundless, and every Nightwish song is a new story or journey.
I love that feeling! Can’t wait to continue on the NW journey.
Agreed fully!! 👍😎
I think you should hear tarja, the first signer
@@nagdali9209 no we don't..😂
Floor Jensen is the greatest Night Wish singer for people who knows nothing about music at all. His soprano is not nearly to Tarja Turunnen's soprano !!!!!!!
Hail to the Queen, the Poet, the Riff-maker, the Groove master, the Piper of Heaven and to the Beat Lord ! Nightwish Army Italy present ! 🤘
🎉🤘🏼
Welcome to the magical world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. Glad you liked, and greetings from Finland! ⛄❄👍
Yes, it felt epic!! Greetings from Canada, thanks for being here. 🤍
My 9 year old daughter watched this Floor sing this and was just stunned and immediately wanted to be Floor.
😳😍
She is a very genuine and humble lady
Your daughter is in safe hands with Floor...
She is a great person and role model
In todays world, music needs more people like this, like her ❤
Yes! I'm a big fan of reactions channels and i'm always looking for such youtubers like you. We (Nightwish fans) know exactly that the band is super, dope, cool, etc. but we expect from reactors to tell us why they think like that and that's what you did in yor reaction. So, welcome in the amazing world of Nightwish and symphonic metal. It;s combination of two very close to each other music genras (clasic music and metal). Nightwish (IMHO) is the best band in this genra and Floor Jansen (lead singer) is the best vocalist on this planet. Gabriel Bardac will give you list of the suggestions. I agree with most of them so I won't be writing here my own. Best regarts from Poland, your new subscriber.
Thank you for the kind comment! I totally get how symphonic metal is a close combo of classical and metal... that's probably why I liked it so much - I love classical music! Can't wait to listen to more of their stuff! Cheers.
She (Floor Jansen) is definitely professionally trained. She did the Rock Academy in the Netherlands as well as Music Theatre and Opera at the Conservatory. As for her capabilites: With this song you are just scratching the surface of what she can do. Check out the other songs at this concert. 15 in total and they are all bangers. Or wait until The leader of the Nightwish army arrives in your comments. He will give you all the info you need on Nightwish and Floor Jansen as well as a list of links to the best streams on TH-cam.
Whaaaat! So cool there's a Rock Academy in the Netherlands?! I love that. Definitely checking out more per Gabriel's links (and from this concert) - thank you!!
Whilst studying Floor was also singing in one of Europe's pioneer Symphonic Metal bands "After Forever" - which she joined aged 16 so her academic learning ran alongside the reality of aquiring the skills of a professional singer.
Have you ever heard her singing opera? It’s embarrassing..
@@wishmaster_masteringyourdreams Stabat Mater?
@@Flum666 no comment.
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites:
Energize me: th-cam.com/video/fjm4BrNAf6s/w-d-xo.html
Monolith of Doubt: th-cam.com/video/3TmKHkQx45U/w-d-xo.html
Dreamflight: th-cam.com/video/73-_F9prx4I/w-d-xo.html
Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). Here is a link to a part of a TV show (with english subtitles) of the reunion of the class of the Rock Academy with mostly backstage footage of the Tampere concert of Nightwish in 2015: th-cam.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/w-d-xo.html
'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples:
Misery’s no Crime: th-cam.com/video/SNPesLFTnUg/w-d-xo.html
Disdain: th-cam.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/w-d-xo.html
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: th-cam.com/video/vhExkmWKMEU/w-d-xo.html
Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see:: th-cam.com/video/bAiPeSsqD-4/w-d-xo.html
A suggestion to a christmas song sung by Floor. Here is a link to a performance in Finland with a special guest with the best seat you could imagine: th-cam.com/video/ym1Wc5dmUYc/w-d-xo.html
Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on TH-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa:, th-cam.com/video/QqdvFPBGN0c/w-d-xo.html
and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: th-cam.com/video/UeTyAZtV5wI/w-d-xo.html
As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered TH-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. th-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/w-d-xo.html
Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon.Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (turned 6 years last march), and another on its way, a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.
Wow, what a busy bad ass woman. I love this! Working hard for her dreams. So cool. She deserves all the success!
two Horses:) she did get herself an Shire Horse, back in 22;)
Ok, nitpicking at its Best. great Summup, Fellow!
@@alexandersteinmetz6857 guess we were wrong about her being a goddess.. she's an amazon warrior.
@@chriskwakernaat2328 Goddess decented as Warrior Queen, with great Empathy and an golden Heart for her Dears, an iron Will to her Craft, combined with an deep Care for her Followers. Gosh thats sooooooFanboying:) i love it:)
👍👍
I really enjoyed your open minded reaction. Nightwish is the perfect band for you to delve in the metal genre and it’s various sub genres. Nightwish are considered symphonic metal. This band is best heard live. They have an epic live catalogue that awaits you. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks so much! And I agree, this was the perfect band to start the metal journey. I’m looking forward to listening to more!
If you have any other recommendations…😂. Oh boy, do we?
This made me laugh out loud. Hahahaha Thank you!
Ha! NW Army can be a bit much at times
It is amazing how they can go from what you would perceive as hard metal to some of the most beautiful heart wrenching pieces you can imagine. If you go down the rabbit hole, you will love the ride!
I'm glad you started your Nightwish journey. From what I know about you, I'd probably recommend you try Storytime or Everdream from the same concert. They are in a slightly more traditional structure and song format and a bit lighter too. Romanticide is my favourite performance from Wacken 2013 by quite a bit, but it's a lot heavier.
Thank you!! Storytime seems to be a very popular recommendation so I feel good about that as the next step. (Originally I had The Greatest Show on Earth slotted for the next NW reaction, but definitely changing it based on everyone’s recommendation.) Excited to listen to your fav song too! Thanks. 🤍
@@KoalityReactionsplease keep "The Greatest Show on Earth" and "The Poet and The Pendulum" on stand-by, at least for a little while (even if they are frequently requested): I think you will appreciate them better, once you have some other Nightwish songs under your belt (there's plenty of them: all bangers, every one is a journey of its own, no one is similar to another).
I liked your reaction: yes metal has a lot of sub-genres, so everyone could find his/her cup of tea...
Tuomas (founder, keyboardist and main composer of Nightwish) doesn't like harsh vocals, while Floor (current singer) did like them when in her previous bands (After Forever and ReVamp).
If you want to dig deeper into the vocals topic I suggest you another rabbit hole: try "Pisces" by the band Jinjer. Like the zodiac sign the title refers to, there is a certain... duality in this song's vocals.
Definitively worth a reaction!
Greetings from Italy and good luck for your channel!
👋🇮🇹🖖
@@flaviovergottini652I concur
nice reaction. nightwish are an amazing band and Floor is one of the most amazing singers and she is the most humble and down to earth woman. i hope you'll listen more nightwish and Floor. she also have a youtube channel and she released a solo album that is not metal but its amazing🥰 Floor can sing in 8 languages and she can do almost anything sing pop metal grow opera and everything you can imagine. you will be blown away from her talent
Yes! Someone else mentioned her solo stuff, so I’ll have to check that out for sure. Can’t wait to see what else she can do! Cheers.
Nightwish is from Finland, the current female lead, Floor Jansen, is Dutch, from the Netherlands. Rock opera is close to, or partly, what Nightwish is about, but the genre is called symphonic metal. The original female lead vocalist, Tarja, was more operatic than Floor, the 3rd female lead of Nightwish, you just heard her. She can sing from operatic to growling.
The pipes are just for looks. There are 3 keyboards behind it. Synthesizers and piano. They also have a backing track recorded by a symphony orchestra, because there's a limit how much Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist, can do live on stage. He writes vast majority of Nightwish songs.
(He can play pipe/church organ. He was given the chance to play one huge organ in Helsinki Music Hall.
"Holopainen chuch organ Kantrilehti" A 2 minute video on Kantrilehti channel. Kantrilehti is the Finnish for Country Magazine)
I thought it must be some kind of keyboard with the pipes just being for looks (because it didn't sound like an organ), but it looked VERY cool. I love that they worked with an orchestra, it definitely adds to the sound! Symphonic metal is very cool... never knew this was a thing. Excited!
Most people who don't listen to metal have preconceived ideas about what it. I had many preconceived ideas. There is a lot of great and truly beautiful music in the world of metal. Nightwish is a great band to get you started on your exploration of metal.
Couldn’t agree more after hearing Nightwish! So glad to be learning about these other metal sub genres. Really digging it.
Как было и со мной,но именно эта группа перевернула всё моё представление ,именно симфометл стал моим идеалом
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. Totality different to hard core mainstream metal. I liked your reaction style. Listening intensely and taking everything in with just the odd comment then adding a well informed reaction at the end.
Each Nightwish song is unique, tapping in to many different genres from opera to rock and even folk.
I hope you continue your Nightwish journey because I know they will astound you.
Greetings from the UK.
Whoa folk?! Love folk. Definitely excited to continue and see what else NW has to offer! Thank you for the kind comment, appreciate it a lot.
@@KoalityReactionsYes folk! There’s a member of the band that you haven’t met yet called Troy Donockley. He is an English multi instrumentalist who plays guitar, tin whistle, the low whistle ( a bit like a recorder) and Irish bagpipes called Eilleann pipes!
The pipes are featured quite a lot in their music. The best one being “I Want My Tears Back”. A real fun song. My favourite version is at Hellfest 2022.
Metal and bagpipes. There’s a sentence you never thought you would encounter!
Looking forward to your next Nightwish reaction.
@@PomLimey You also have: My Walden and Elvenjig and Elvenpath. Not even mentioning The Islander (Tampere version). And as an encore: Élan
@@mort58 All amazing songs! I should have suggested them too.
@@PomLimey Well it is a bit hard since almost every song is the best you have ever heard, hehe
Great reaction to my favorite singer and band. Each new Nightwish song you hear becomes your favorite one. They are all unique. A good follow up song, from the same venue, is Storytime. 😄🤘 th-cam.com/video/pvkYwOJZONU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this suggestion, I'll definitely check it out! Woo!
Floor Jansen is incredible. You should also check out her own songs and cover performances aswell. She even did a fantastic version of "Let it Go" from frozen for her daughter.
No way!!! Hahaha I'll have to check that out for sure. Lots of people have commented on how great her solo stuff is too.
@@KoalityReactions Yes 👍
Thx for the reaction and welcome to Nightwish !! This band can go heavy or light and everything in between. To help ease into symphonic metal I will recommend My Walden live in Tampere, or Dead Boys Poem live in Buenos Aires please , enjoy the ride , many surprises with this band 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
Love these suggestions for wading into the symphonic metal! I have a feeling the lighter side will be more my jam, but I'm willing to check it all out. Appreciate this!
@KoalityReactions I love classical too. I'm a piano teacher. I'm not into too hard of stuff either but NW harder stuff is melodic enough and arranged really well. Enjoy the journey!
Oh my , Tuomas is incredible on the piano and keyboards , I will recommend his side project song Lifetime of Adventure , the life and times of Scrooge McDuck if you can believe that lol , his wife Johanna is the main singer with a beautiful voice and is a must , oh so many songs I’d like to request of Nightwish but please do some more for the Nightwish army !!
@@wangtang7768 .... I second this recommendation!
@@KoalityReactions Try the song "Elan" live with subtitles of course. It is quite fun and catchy.
Another of their somewhat lighter songs for you to try would be "Alpenglow", (live of course!) It totally rocks! Marco's backup vocals in Alpenglow is to die for!
Nightwish army Texas here! Watch for Gabriel. He will guide you!😉
Hahaha I love that you all know each other! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks, welcome to Nightwish
Nightwish is incredibly good and versatile. Floor is otherworldly in her talent and skill. She can do it all vocally, her stage presence is phenomenal and she evokes emotions like no one else. I recommend checking out everything she did on Beste Zangers 2019, as well as the songs she posted on her TH-cam channel.
I don't consider myself a Nightwish fan like the majority of the folks you'll find here. I'm really a fan of Floor's and her solo projects, which, after seeing her solo performances from her appearance on the Dutch tv show Beste' Zangers solidified my fandom of Floor and she introduced me to Nightwish. So, to promote Floor I'm going to take the liberty of posting a selected playlist of live performances that I consider the most enjoyable for me from her catalog of solo projects.
2019 - Beste' Zangers
Solo cover of "Shallow" (Lady Gaga) - th-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/w-d-xo.html
Duet cover of "Phantom of the Opera" w/ Henk Poort - th-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/w-d-xo.html

"Slow, Love, Slow" - th-cam.com/video/bBG8GdyLYDk/w-d-xo.html
"Nemo" - th-cam.com/video/Uebh4TuP_Xg/w-d-xo.html
2022 - Singles from her 2023 released solo album. There are music videos of these singles but I prefer the more organic live versions. All six venues provided excellent acoustics

Regards,
Incredible, thank you! I already thought I might check out some of her solo stuff, so this helps a lot. Cheers!
I would also recommend an often overlooked song that is sung by Floor but outside her solo work. This was for a TV documentary, it is called in Dutch 'De Beelden blijven' th-cam.com/video/e6-6NVsbg6U/w-d-xo.html. But don't worry if you don't understand Dutch, it's message is so important that it was subtitled in 40 languages in a community effort. For those who still prefer English, there is also 'The fight goes on' th-cam.com/video/aaqFvdoLCIc/w-d-xo.html, but without video of Floor singing.
You really can't go wrong with any of the Beste Zangers. The theme is a number of artists from the Netherlands get together and each gets a day where the other sing songs in his or her style. Metal is not big in the Netherlands and Floor was practically unknown even by most of the other singers. She opened the show and literally stunned everyone. She went on to stun everyone each week. IMO its best to start with the Opener for Henk Poort ( Vilija Lied ) and IMO best to use the English subtitled episodes that really give you a feel for her and the others. I am a huge fan of Nightwish but this show really showcases her talent and the fact she could dominate any type of music she chose to focus on. Really a generational talent, and although I am a fanboi I believe an objective statement.
Great list of Floor’s other work…
Must Add:
Sweet Curse

This song will give chills to any human with a heartbeat.
You may find yourself unable to listen to any other song for days
…the ears, brain and body crave more …of this hauntingly beautiful song
@@marklinden2342 oooh tasty!! Making a note, thank you.
welcome to the fantastic symphonic metal universe of Nightwish Band, their live performances are some of the things that come so close to epic that they get to be mythical and of course Floor Jansen, queen of the stage and goddess of music, she can sing anything in any musical style she wants (WARNING! her voice, her stage presence, her charisma, in one word: her "spell" is highly addictive).
this concert (wacken 2013) is incredibly epic and deserves to be watched and reacted entirely, song by song, in particular I suggest these three songs: "song of myself", "storytime" and "ever dream"
this performance of "ghost love score" is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Thank you! So many people have mentioned Storytime, I think I’ll have to do that one next. I had The Greatest Show on Earth slotted for the next NW reaction, but I’m switching it now. Can’t wait!
@@KoalityReactions the song "The Greatest Show on Earth" is a great choice, but in my opinion the best performance for this song is the one from the 2015 concert in tampere th-cam.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/w-d-xo.html
@@KoalityReactions Smart thing to do. The greatest show on earth (Tampere version preferd) is worth a little wait since it really lives up to it´s name. There are so many great songs to get to know the band. Storytime is a natural follow up but I would really like to see you react to their usual showstarter: Dark chest of wonders. Great reaction and I hope to see more from you. All the best from sweden.
That warning for Floor Jansen is absolute necessary!! Since I heard her for the first time about half a year ago my world came to a grinding stop. Since that first moment my productivity went down to zero. I can not stop listening to all of her songs en productions. Whether it is with Nighwish ( second to none), her covers that she recorded at home during Covid ( second to none either), or her solo project ) . Everything she touches turns into gold. Absolutely not of this world.
twi
girl you done stumbled on something thats gonna change your life of music forever.........
Hi Jenna😘Great reaction . Nightwish is an absolutely unique band . The music style , the power and the amazing atmosphere at the concert . Extremely talented ❤Floor Jansen ❤is addictive with her unearthly vocals , she is simply wonderful . I really hope you will continue to explore the great world of symphonic metal and Nightwish . And now a sub for you and let's keep flying 🤘😘🤘
Yes! Even in the video you can sense the energy of the fans. So cool. Can’t wait to hear more! 🤘🏼
"Was that traditional metal music?" - there's no such thing. Metal is such a broad genre. You can find just about any mood in metal. From angry to happy to romantic to sad - anything. The only thing most metal has in common is energy, passion, emotion.
To continue "easing" into this style of music, from this same Wacken 2013 show do the song "EVER DREAM"
I think it's time for a little story...
Definitely "Story Time" (same concert)
Yes! It’s next for sure! 🎉
Symphonic metal is the genre 😁
Nightwish is versatile so...
"Storytime"?
Show opener " Dark Chest of Wonders"? (Wacken 2013)
Look after Gabriel Bardac here in comments, he have all the info and best links.
I've heard Storytime more than once, which is always a good sign! And definitely will look at Gabriel's recs too. Thanks so much!
Hi Jenna, greetings from UK
Thank you for checking out my favourite band 😊
I do hope that you will dip your toe into their music and I hope that you find some songs that you like
Yes, I can’t wait to continue on the Nightwish journey! Thanks for being here. Cheers!
Welcome to the world of Nightwish and symphonic metal. They really are a unique band; each song is different and awesome. Floor's beautiful voice reaches your heart in unexpected ways. I hope you continue to explore their music. Hello from the NW Army Portugal.
Definitely will continue on the NW journey! Excited to see where it takes me. Cheers from Canada!
LoL. Disturbed definitely have a foot in the metal camp as well. Won't be long before you're headbanging with the rest of us.
Hahaha Can't wait! (Though not sure my poor neck can take that!)
Hi Jenna, welcome to the world of Symphonic metal, definitely not what you thought it might be because there are now so many sub sections of Metal, all of which you should check out! There probably will be some you’re not keen on but I think you will enjoy most!
You have been Floor’d and if you had chills or goosebumps experienced what us Nightwish fans call Floorgasms 😂
I think that you may be visited by the high priest of the Nightwish army @Gabriel Bardac he usually pops by to Nightwish reactions to enlighten you to interesting information about the band.
Nice to know you liked this track, I would recommend Yours is an empty hope live at Wembley, alternatively Romanticide, from Wacken 2013 - both are a bit heavier! 🌹
Floorgasms! I love that! Hahahaha Amazing. Yes, symphonic metal might be more my jam for sure. I'm not sure the heavier stuff will be in my wheelhouse, but of course it's nice to experiment and see. Thanks for the rec! I'll check those out! 🤍
I absolutely LOVE seeing someone witness this for the first time, because I get to relive it like when I saw this for the first time. Thank you SO much for capturing this moment!
Nice that you found the best band there is. The keyboard player is a Metal Mozart and genius songwriter.
Symphonic Metal, welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole.
Huh, Disturbed, Ren, and Nightwish, right in a row - guess I've found a new reactor to tune into! You've picked some great starting points - and thanks much for sharing how these works affect you, with all us randos out here on the 'Net! Looking forward to whatever you find next :)
I had some people giving good recommendations! I would’ve been lost otherwise. 😂🙈 Can’t wait to keep going and listen to more from all of those bands and more. Thanks for hanging and watching, I really appreciate it. From one rando to another! 🤍
Hey KR, nice reaction and welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. NW aren't really like ANY other band, metal or anythng else you care to put a label on..even in this genre (so called "Symphonic Metal"). Finding NW is sometimes a life changing experience, it was for me, and Ghost Love Score is often the doorway down into the rabbit hole. Hope you do some more reactions to NW, I don't think you'll regret it! Their canon is super varied, often deeply emotional, sometimes overwhelming and never, ever, dull..you may not like the heavier ones but every song, is a carefully crafted work of art.
It did feel in a league of its own, like there was no label for it! So I totally understand that. Can’t wait to hear more! Thanks for kind words!
Very cool reaction.
My recommendation is: " Watch the whole Wacken 2013 live concert by NIGHTWISH.
I'm pretty sure you won't regret it.😅
Haha I've been hearing similar things! Apparently this concert was epic. Thanks for the comment and rec!
Your paradigm in your mind has been shifted...lol
I discovered them last August. Every song is different but amazing. As a classically trained piano teacher and singer i love analyzing their music. You never know within the song where they will lead you.
Floor can make covers better than the original too.
Subbed for more of your awesome reactions.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish and the genre Symphonic Metal. It is indeed a deep, deep rabbit hole!! Nightwish Wacken 2013 was one of those moments when a band completely clicked, every single song from the entire set is a banger, and its even more impressive when you know Floor had only joined the band about 10 months earlier while they were touring the US (she took the call to come sing for them and had just 48 hours to get to the US and learn the set list before she did her first show with the band!)
And yes, describing "metal" music can be confusing as it covers so many sub-genres and styles, symphonic metal being one of them. Don't worry about it, let your ears and brain work out what you like and what you don't, not every piece is going to be to your tastes, and that's perfectly okay. Just enjoy the journey.
Oh my gosh I love this, thank you! I definitely agree that not every type of music is for everyone, but it’s so nice to hear someone say follow what you like.
And yes, someone told me about her joining the band and only having 48 hours to learn the set list. I can’t even imagine!! She is definitely a power house. Excited for more! Thanks for being here.
@@KoalityReactionsOh undoubtedly, its the only way to listen to music imho, you either like something or you don't and no amount of being told that something is good /bad matters, its down to your own ears/brain/heart telling you what you like. Unfortunately, in the world of reactions, you'll get a lot of opinions being thrown at you but as the old saying goes "opinions are like arse-holes......everyone has got one!!" NW is a perfect example, you'll often hear some quite strong statements about NW's original singer Tarja and how she's better than Floor and "the true Queen of NW" etc, and then others will defend Floor (and poor Annette in the middle gets kind of forgotten!!) but these people forget that we are blessed to have had 3 great singers in the band and each played their part in the evolution of the group, each helped to make NW what they are today. People focus to much on "better" as if its a competition all the time instead of thinking "different".
@@SolFaithman Totally agree! All forms of art are so subjective. It’s definitely based off how you personally feel about it. That’s why art is so cool… it effects and moves everyone differently.
Well said! 🤍
Yes, exactly: not just a song, a performance. It's not traditional metal music, although there are aspects of metal there, obviously. I'm a fan of classic metal, but maybe like symphonic metal even more after discovering Nightwish,
Welcome to Nightwish family, prepare to be blown away with every new song, and with Nightwish it's all about pure emotions, so just relax and embrace it and you'll enjoy it so much. 🤗🔥
I plan to - thanks so much!!
Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Tuomas the keyboard player writes 90% of the music and as an empath and poet wears his soul in his music and no Nightwish song is fully the same. Sadly that is a prop around his multiple keyboards but he has played a real organ. Hope you stick around for further Nightwish and enjoy this unique band Thank you.
If you're like me, your life will never be the same after discovering Nightwish and Floor Jansen. And that's a good thing! 🤘😄🤘

Greetings from Nightwish Army Netherlands. I only discovered Floor Jansen and Nightwish when she did a show on Dutch TV called "Beste Zangers" (best singers) in which a group of singers sing each others song or songs that have meaning to the singer for which the other singers sing a song. Metal was never my thing but Nightwish is different. Floor Jansen has a TH-cam channel on which she posted a lot during Covid. Lots of covers and funny/interesting videos www.youtube.com/@FloorJansenOfficial
Oh cool, glad to hear someone else who didn't think they were into metal fell into the Nightwish world. They definitely are in a league of their own! Can't wait to see more from Floor and the whole Nightwish crew.
Dear friend, I'm glad you got to know Nightwish, Finnish symphonic metal band and music. Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) is behind this beautiful music, he writes and composes these songs. He is our modern day metal Mozart. Hope to see you continue this metal caravan 🤘😊❤
THAT WAS AMAZING!
Floor is a great singer in several styles, she sings pop, rock, even Disney princess songs, and obviously metal. It all sounds amazing, her voice control is superb. Her recent solo album is great, though more of a pop vibe.
I heard her solo stuff is awesome! (Both her band before Nightwish, and her recent solo stuff.) Excited to check it all out!
@@KoalityReactions th-cam.com/video/Z7wdgB9RbHs/w-d-xo.html
Arguably, metal has the best musicians and singers... Nightwish is the perfect example! 🤘👍🤙
Metal is not necessarily what you expect. 😉
Um right?!
@@KoalityReactions I mean, Metal is not exactly what people think about usually.
😁There are many subgenres and many different styles.
Go Canada! I'll be visiting Montreal from Germany for a week in October, hope to catch some Indian summer vibes.
Oh man, Montreal is beautiful. I hope you have an amazing time! I’ll send good weather vibes. 🎉
About the "organ/pipes" it is decoration to hide his triple Korg keyboards. Nightwish is finnish
Tuomas the keyboard Player once said it was a Tribute to the Finnish violist and composer Jan Sibelius and to his monument in the finnish capital Helsinki, 600+ decorated steel pipes .
th-cam.com/video/UbWb-zy85cc/w-d-xo.html
Knowing Tuomas, there is always a meaning behind everything.
When you said "Earballs" I laughed because it is such an appropriate description of what you will be using every time you listen/watch a Nightwish video/song... Great reaction.
Hahaha Glad you liked it! It's a common phrase I use, for whatever reason. Once you start saying it, you can't stop. Thanks for the comment, appreciate it!
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish and Floor Jansen, The Goddess Voice of Heaven and Earth. Enjoy your journey.
Thanks! I think I will! 🤍
Hello
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Yes, I’ve already had so many great recommendations. Can’t wait to continue on this journey! Thanks so much.
At this concert Floor was still the temp/singer for the band ...But not for long ,,Welome from deepest darkest Norfolk UK,,😎
So I’ve heard! Incredible! She’s a bad ass.
Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA!
Yep...that's the face! The face of the person who says "I don't like metal!" Then they hear Floor Jansen sing... Nightwish is a band of many styles and sounds...no 2 songs alike! A group of world-class musicians...you will likely be lured into more...so next up...Storytime!
See below a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances (under Community tab on his YT channel)...follow the list and become a Nightwish fan! We're happy to come along on your journey!
Yes! Storytime! So glad you guys came to guide me. I had another song lined up but I’m switching it now. Can’t wait!
@@KoalityReactions That makes me so happy! Oh, and in case no one explained... 1. Wacken is in Germany, pronounced VAW-KEHN. And 2. The "pipe organ thing" is a custom wine rack fashioned after the Sebelius Monument in Helsinki, then converted into a keyboard stand!
Greetings to you Jenna,
Not pipe organs ,just a stage prop with 3 keyboards behind it, Pro reactor tip : after a pause please go back a bit before resuming to maintain song continuity & so non of the many transitions NW is known for will not be missed,your viewers will appreciate it :) also best to not pause mid vocals ,cheers, btw NW is the most reacted to band on youtube , and their masterpiece Ghost Love Score -Wacken 2013 is the most reacted to performance on TH-cam ever, many vocal coach reactors have over 3 Million views from a single reaction. so yes ,they are huge on YT massive fan base,very passionate, known all over the world except not so much in N.America :(. Also for better views ,best to include in your video tittle header things like ; Live at Wacken 2013,
There are many great female vocalist in the world, then there are a few exceptional ones ,then there is Floor Jansen, Floor Jansen formerly of AfterForever & ReVamp who in 1999
started attending the Rock Academy in Tilburg and then at the National Conservatory in the Netherlands. She then went on to study & trained in musical theatre and also attended opera lessons for a year., for your indulgence and reference I offer my list for you , cheers,
As someone who started listening to Nightwish and Floor with her 1st band AfterForever 20 yrs ago I offer My song list recommendations below which is solely focused on the singer you just saw & heard,cheers
**there are 2 pivotal events since Floor Jansen came aboard NW in late 2012 #1 Wacken 2013 - #2 Beste Zangers 2019 at this popular Dutch tv show filmed on Ibiza some top Dutch singers past & present get together and the person on the center couch for the day has one of their songs or a song that has meaning to them sung back to them reinterpreted by the other singers,novel idea .
Floor opened the show with the 1st song below and just blew everyone's mind,only two of the other singers knew who Floor was but none of them had heard her sing with such versatility,after the 8 day run of the show Floor's & NW's popularity soared,stadiums filled up and ticket sales shot up.btw since Floor joined NW & after this show NW's fan base has tripled . on Mama by Samantha S.Floor completely changes the tempo and song structure ,the song is about Samantha wanting to be more like her Mom, Que Se Siente by Rolf is originally a merenge ,mambo type song so of course Floor does it her way,Winner by Tim A. he wrote for his brother who has Spina Bifida,
About Love ,Ruben wrote about his parents divorce.

Thanks for the list, and the tips & tricks. Cheers!
I'm 67 and it's one of my favorite bands
Same for me, never heard of them. Now I'm a 60 years old fan from the first moment.
I hope you dive into the latest album Human and Nature.
Its their masterpiece.
Music from the highest level.
"Heavy metal", from which all further metal subgenres originated, was originally a rather melodic, epic genre and strong clean vocals were typical for heavy metal from the very beginning. Nightwish in general and symphonic metal in particular directly descended from the heavy metal genre. If you imagined metal as something more aggressive, with growls, blastbeats and angry lyrics, then these are other "branches" of the metal evolution. Although there may also be elements of more extreme music in symphonic metal.
In the last 25-30 years, aggressive metal subgenres have become more common, so some (especially younger) people may even doubt whether Nightwish is metal. The truth is that Nightwish has inherited the traditions of the original heavy metal to a greater extent than those more extreme bands with which metal is associated these days.
For example, Iron Maiden is one of the legendary bands that defined the sound of heavy metal. If you listen to them, I think you'll hear some of similarities with Nightwish and symphonic metal. Here, for example, is a good example of Iron Maiden music, "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from a concert in 1982: th-cam.com/video/7vP2hFFV57E/w-d-xo.html
Yesss, I did imagine it being much heavier with a lot of growling vocals. So this makes sense. Very cool - thank you for the history! I’m glad I’m learning that there’s different sub genres of metal. Can’t wait to listen to more!
I’ve definitely heard of the band Iron Maiden but I probably can’t recall a specific song. I’ll def listen to them! Thanks!
@@KoalityReactions Try '80s metal' for the older/original mostly-clean-vocals style of the genre (I@m not a big fan of the later harsh-vocals style either). Some bands to listen to are Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin (actually all from the 70s), then Iron Maiden, AC/DC (Rock rather than metal, but great anyway), Judas Priest, Rainbow, Dio, Metallica. The other classic symphonic metal band that pretty-much invented the genre is Therion. They started doing this sort of thing about 3 years before Nightwish formed, and they are still going too, through numerous changes in personel and style. They've been big on choirs and having 3-4 vocalists. One band with some harsh vocals that you might like is Epica - probably the 2nd-most successful symphonic metal band in the world (after Nightwish). Oh and you need to check out Ayreon too, which is more of a fascinating musical project than a band.
That lot should keep you entertained for a while. There are of course hundreds more bands and loads of great music, but you want to start gently :-) This is a deep hole you about to fall into...
Metal music has about 30 different subgenres so not every type is appreciated by everyone.
Nightwish is mainly Symphonic (orchestra in background) Metal, but they can do anything, which you'll have a chance to hear if you decide to continue.
I think the symphonic side is my jam, but I’ll definitely check out more!
Not really "traditional" metal. Judas Priest. Check their hit "Painkiller". It's more true traditional metal.
The genre is called "symphonic metal" and ideally it should be performed with a full orchestra behind the band. But only (to my knowledge) the band Epica did that at their 10th anniversary concert and they must have lost a lot of money then. By the way, this singer Floor Jansen (pronounce Yansen) sings two songs during that concert too with her good friend Simone Simons who is the lead singer of Epica. Floor Jansen is Dutch, performs in metal bands since whe was 16 and was trained at the rock acadamy in Tilburg (NL) and a few years of music university (opera) which she did not finish. She went in the direction of musical theatre (together with metal her true love) and she learned stage presence from a musical theatre teacher. Floor calls herself a vocal nerd. She is a HSP and has absolute hearing, and is a staunch perfectionist. She recently started a solo career besides Nightwish doing (good) pop songs she mostly wrote herself, focussing on mental health in all its aspects. (album My Paragon). She chose pop, because she had never done that before. She is regarded inside and outside the metal community as the best female singer of her generation, mainly because she can sing everyting, death growls, switching to full opera on a dime and everyting in between. She has many, many colors in her voice, without losing her vocal identity. If you want to see the masterpiece of Nightwish, it is in my opinion the Poet and the Pendulum, by far. And I am not even a metal fan.
Thx for a lovely reaction Jenna...you were obviously taken by surprise, as many others are when reacting first time to this song. Really looking forward to your next NW reaction. Everything on Gabriel's or the other guy's lists are epic, and so different, but, personally, I think 'Storytime' would be a great follow up reaction for you if you want to continue on your NW journey...but don't leave it too long please...😉😍🤘
I’ll do another one soon! I usually record in a batch of 8-10 videos, so there will more in the next batch for sure. Can’t wait! Storytime is definitely up next.
@@KoalityReactions Thank you...I can guarantee you'll be singing it in the shower after just one listen...🤣🤘
@@tonycarroll7925 hahaha music to my ears! 🎉🤘🏼
🚿🎵😁
If you want to hear the entire singing rang of singer Floor Jansen, listen to "Shoemaker." It's an homage to Eugene Shoemaker who discovered the comet Shoemaker-Levy that crashed into Jupiter. His ashes are interred on the moon.
Hey beautyfull!!! You don't have an idea about what you can see and hear from Nightwish. Good reaction. Please keep on. Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English.
🤩👌💥💯🎶
The "nerviuosness" comes along while listening this magical band when you're not expecting then the unecpected.
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Welcome to the amazing world of Nightwish and the Dutch queen of symphonic metal. No, not your typical metal band. A metal band with beautiful melodies and an amazing singer. So much more to experience lovely lady. I hope to see you again very soon. Choose the softer songs from Nightwish and I think you will come to love this band. Tuomas (keys) writes most of the music and very poetic style lyrics.
Maybe check out this song below.

She went from sounding like an woodland elf, to sound like a valkyrie.
Nightwish forever ❤
This is a milestone in the history of music
Welcome to a rabbit hole of musical joy.
I've been a metal head since puberty and THAT was a looooong time ago. There are so many sub-genres of metal, some you'll love, some you be ok with, some that you won't like. It's the same for me. But Nightwish! I find it hard to comprehend not liking them. Especially live.
This whole concert's set list, that song was 13 of 15, are absolute gold!
And there is so much beyond.
Enjoy!
🤘😎🤘
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 her grace, beauty and the sheer power
of her vocals.
We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard.
ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!!
The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready!
Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!
Welcome to Symphonic Metal and the world of Nightwish! Enjoy the ride! There are no bad songs!🤘🎸
Beast In Black - Blind And Frozen.
You must hear this singer. This band have been a warmup for Nightwish many times. And .... both live in Finland :)
Great song and a great video
Made a note! Thank you!!
Floor was an Opera singer and professionally trained there where 82 thousand people at this show in Brazil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jacksonville Fl. Division of the Nightwish Army on board. Thank you for an excellent reaction video to our Nightwish. You are classy, well spoken and excellent at articulating your thoughts, emotions and feelings. There will be some excellent guidelines offered from the fanbase, to help you navigate the waters of your Nightwish journey, my only advise would be to do a little research before tackling The Poet And The Pendulum as well as The Greatest Show On Earth. You will get so much more out of your experience, if you know the context. Once again, great job, and best wishes.
I like research, so I made a note of this! Thanks so much for the kind comment, excited to explore more of what Nightwish has to offer. Cheers!
Great Voices!! Great Band! Great Track! Great Reaction!!!! Thank You so Much ✌✌✌ 🇦🇺
What a beautiful sincere reaction. Very beautiful with a lovely smile. I could tell by your smile and expressions that you were amazed and enjoyed it very much. I understood your comment about metal, and I'm happy you found Nightwish. You will enjoy their music and I look forward to hearing another reaction from you, Jenna. (Koality Reactions)
Being a drummer in Nightwish is a labor.
How
Metal is very diverse and the music has something for almost everyone. It's not uncommon to feel that a metal song is classical music being played on distorted guitars.
You'll receive a lot of Nightwish recommendations in these comments and I heartily endorse them all, but I'll add another band, Unleash the Archers.
They're a Canadian power metal band from BC that plays on fantasy and sci-fi themes, but their music is still very approachable. "Awakening" th-cam.com/video/gqUPGa15Oto/w-d-xo.html
Last year they won a Juno award for the best metal album. One of the interesting things about "Awakening" is that it's the first song of a concept that spans two albums. In this song we're introduced to two characters, the Immortal who is sung by Brittney and the evil Matriarch who is sung/growled by Grant. It's an interesting gender flip as the part of the male protagonist is sung by a woman and the evil female is being sung by a man. It's a refreshing storyline as no excuses are being made for the evil Matriarch. She was born bad. BTW, Brittney wrote the storyline and it's quite the epic tale in a classical tradition of flawed heroes and villains laid low by their hubris. Check them out as they're a great next step after Nightwish.
Dude, this is incredible! I’m Canadian and from BC. Can’t wait to check out Unleash the Archers! Thanks so much for the rec. (Also love sci-fi and fantasy so super stoked about this!)
@@KoalityReactions If you love sci-fi, you need to check out the "group" called Ayreon which is lead by Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Its basically a rock/metal opera concept/project that Arjen pulls together with numerous vocalists (including a certain someone you might have just listened to!) and musicians from all over the world to create sci-fi narrative driven music that spans multiple albums. "The day that the world breaks down" is probably the most reacted to song and, similarly to Ghost Love Score, is a good entry point to the music (despite having 11 different singers on it!)
@@KoalityReactions Once you get into their music, check out the interviews Brittney has done with other reactors. She explains the storyline of the albums Apex and Abyss, so we can see how they are woven together.
The band has earlier albums as well that are well worth the listen. (I'm from Ontario, BTW)
@@billattercliffe8655 Brittney has done several videos on Napalm Records YT channel where she explains the backstory for each song on Apex and Abyss.
Apex Tracks 1-4 (Awakening is explained here) th-cam.com/video/ofm9RneJ1bs/w-d-xo.html.
Apex Tracks 5-8 th-cam.com/video/3Y1YzsVEk7s/w-d-xo.html
Apex Tracks 9-10 th-cam.com/video/sO4N1RkdB0c/w-d-xo.html
Abyss Tracks 1-4 th-cam.com/video/lELBTH5DAWQ/w-d-xo.html
Abyss Tracks 5-8 th-cam.com/video/Tay0MCRRCd8/w-d-xo.html
Abyss Tracks 8-10 th-cam.com/video/iNT55Ou0txk/w-d-xo.html
My favorite video of Brittney is of her singing Queen of the Reich in a karaoke bar after doing a full show in Scotland. Amazing how good it is recorded on a cellphone. th-cam.com/video/280DRqoGyLw/w-d-xo.html.
What Gabriel said. Tuomas Holopainen, on keys, has three keyboards, a backing track controller, some SPFX triggers and one or two bottles of red wine behind that "pipe organ" stage decoration. He is THE Metal Mozart! This song comes from one of the best concerts of the decade if not the Century! BIG rabbithole with Nightwish!! Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia. Nightwish since 1996.
Great reaction
Greetings from 🇳🇱 🤘
Thanks so much! Cheers from Canada.
As far as recommendations of where to go from here exploring Nightwish your going to get many. Here are some ideas about how go forward.
1. Follow Gabriel's list. You can't go wrong with that.
2. Pick one concert and listen to each song in order. There is a great TH-cam channel called Nightwish Arena that has many full concerts in the playlist section with each song of the concert as a separate video. I'd start with the Wacken 2013 concert. The song you just reacted to was the 13th out of a 15 song set list.
3. If you want a bit of a softer introduction to metal check out the songs - I Want My Tears Back - Everdream - Storytime - Alpenglow - Elan - My Walden - Amaranth
4. If you want to go for some of the harder stuff check out - Romanticide - I Wish I Had an Angel - Yours is an Empty Hope - Ghost River - Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean - 7 Days to the Wolves.
For doing reaction videos stick with videos from Nightwish's offial channel, Nuclear Blast Records official channel, or the Nightwish Arena channel. There you will find good quality video to use for your reactions .
I look forward to see where you go from here.
Thanks so much for this! I’ve already looked at Gabriel’s list, very helpful. Also good to know which channels to look for the videos. I think Storytime will be next just based on how many times it was recommended, but I think their lighter side might be more to my liking so I’ll definitely look at the others you mentioned. (I’ll also try the harder stuff, because you know, you’ve gotta try stuff to see what you like.) Thanks again!
@@KoalityReactions We'll ease you into the harder stuff. By this time next year you'll be a metal head.
Haha, the stereotype about metal as a wall of sound with animal noises kinda makes sense when it comes to modern metal (most of which sucks IMO). However, the original metal, as pioneered by Black Sabbath, was bluesy, groovy, melodic, slow-to-mid-paced and featured exclusively clean vocals. Today, this genre is known as doom metal (and it has plenty of subgenres on its own).
What you've just heard is more like a Hans Zimmer soundtrack with some power chords chugging along. While not a bad song by any means, it technically doesn't qualify as metal (one thing you'll soon find out about metal is that there is plenty of gatekeepers who love to define what is metal and what isn't). Fun fact: at the time of this performance, the singer (who surely must have been practicing singing in shower since she was a wee lass :) had her own band which was way, way, way heavier than Nightwish.
That definition of original metal sounds like my jam. Blues, melodic, clean vocals - *chefs kiss* I definitely thought metal in general was what you called modern metal, which was never my thing. Haha I also love Hans Zimmer, so that's probably why I enjoyed this performance so much.
I knew about her other band from some other people in the comments. She's clearly a bad ass. And though we've probably both been shower singing the same amount of time, I think her professional training really tipped the scales in her favour. Haha! (I want to train too, it's just expensive right now).
Thanks for the comment! Cheers.
@@KoalityReactions 😊Yes, Floor's badassness is not to be underestimated. She actually recorded her first demos at the age of 18, and a whole album a year later, prior to having any professional training: th-cam.com/video/Ecr02vX5w3k/w-d-xo.html
If you enjoyed this, let me suggest something that might be to your liking. Atmospheric doom metal - imagine a heavier Pink Floyd with much better vocals, courtesy of Anneke van Giersbergen. The band was the first in the Netherlands to feature a female lead singer, who became very influential in the scene and inspired quite a few other girls, including Floor Jansen, to follow the same path. Very much a reaction material too, but it's up to you. So here goes: The Gathering - On Most Surfaces live at Doornroosje: th-cam.com/video/gX9nHYj95gw/w-d-xo.html
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Added it to my list - it'll get done! Thanks for the rec, I really appreciate it. Can't wait.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army and congratulations on your first Floorgasm, may I suggest Storytime from the same concert if you decide to do another Nightwish reaction
It'll be comin soon!
NIGHTWISH is a symphonic metal band totally different than metal. I loved watching you react to my favorite band. I'm in my mid 60s and I have been following NIGHTWISH for years. I saw them twice last year and they put on a fantastic concert. My recommendatio is to stick with NIGHTWISH at Wacken 2013. There is a lot of great music from that concert. I know that you will be getting a lot of feedback from NIGHTWISH fans and the NIGHTWISH Army. Keep up the great work and good luck with your channel 🤘🌵
Yes, I've had some more recommendations from this concert already. Can't wait! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. Cheers.
@@KoalityReactions thank you for the reply. I look forward to seeing you react to more NIGHTWISH videos, I don't think that I'm alone in this request 🤘🌵
Very nice to see you 😀 And welcome to the world of Nightwish! As you already found out, there is quite big fanbase and this music is good gateway to metal music.
Metal music itself is maybe wider on range versus popmusic and there is lots of similarities with classical music. And in this case, very much blended with symphony elements. It can also be very very heavy and "cruel" but it does not have to be.
You will find "that" metal too what you were afraid but there is so much more to find! Welcome to the journey!
If i may, i would suggest next Storytime from Gabriel's list, if you want to stay in epicness 😁
Greetings from Finland! 🤘🎶 🖤 🎸🇫🇮
Thank you so much! And yes, Storytime will be the next one for sure. So happy to have the true fans guiding me on this journey. So excited to delve into this metal genre, and experience something different than I ever thought!
Wellcome to the Nightwish family ❤❤❤❤❤❤greetings from Denmark
There are so many types of metal, and to be honest it's all good. I recently realized in my late 50's that there are many groups who growl and scream are amazing. I have been going to more metal concerts in my 50's than i did in the 30plus years before, and It's awesome. I recommend trying a sample of all types of metal bands
Nightwish is my favorite ...i am a bit obsessed with Jinjer, Baby Metal, and Hanabie at the moment. I am going to see them all live in the next 6 weeks in New York.
also have to say, its ROCK. forget the subgenre, just detracts from the music
Yeah, just follow Gabriel's list and you'll not go far wrong
However, here are some of my favourites:
