But also so does Marko (the bassist, sings on many songs also) and Troy (not in this video). And tuomas is just a genius, as mentioned by others, the poetry / lyrics of most songs are amazing and meaningful and so are the compositions, it baffles me that he writes complete classical masterpieces and metal riffs and some opera.... all together with the lyrics (most songs are really worth digging in the meaning of it!) its just amazing.

@@ChaseCarneson I mean there are a lot of reactions by musicians, vocal coaches and producers on this band. But what you usually get is commentary on some small portion of the whole thing, or "I like that, that's cool", but you actually gave a really good overall picture of the whole thing on first reaction, which I found impressive and educational, since even having listened to this song for decades, I couldn't put it into words nearly as well as you did. Also I've never heard anyone really comment on the compositions itself, which to me, is what makes this whole thing work. Everyone watching these reactions knows the band is tight. They're professional musicians and have all been doing this for their whole life, so you know, they're pretty damn good. But so are many other bands. Talking about the just fantastic vocals, or just the nice riffs and drum fills doesn't really do justice to what makes this band great. It's the whole package of songwriting, skill, teamplay and showmanship that really makes this thing called Nightwish. So yeah, can't wait to see what you think of the rest. The thing is I love this band, but I really can't put my finger on where the magic happens, since they're also really varied in style and I don't have the skill and training to even try. So yeah, appreciated this a lot.

Then a few months ago I noticed a lot of the people who were doing reaction video's were reacting to this band I had never heard of...Nightwish.

You just summoned the Nightwish Army!) Thank you for sharing your reaction and welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal! Floorgasm achieved!) Well, you've just witnessed Her Majesty Northern Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen, she is Dutch). Floor has classical background, rock academy behind, and used to be a vocal coach for a number of years. Floor is the most versatile and powerful female singer today and can sing anything from more pop-y style, classic opera, to metal screams and growls. Floor sings emotions, not words. And yes, she is tall -- 6'1 + heels) Floor joined Nightwish in the middle of their Imaginaerum world tour in late 2012 (which includes this show). Previous singer, Anette Olzon (she's currently in Dark Element) left the band while they were touring, and there was no certainty what to do with all the upcoming shows. They called Floor (her previous band did tour with NW in the past, and they knew each other). Floor flew immediately to help them out and temporarily replace Anette for the rest of the world tour. She arrived two days before the next show, and she had only 48 hours to learn the entire setlist. And she did. There is official documentary about all that -- "PLEASE LEARN THE SETLIST IN 48 HOURS" ( kzitem.info/news/bejne/15573p-jkH1-eIo ) For Floor it was first really big gig with Nightwish, 82K people, at the time she was only for a few months with the band. After the world tour, they made Floor their official member. This song was performed at the end of 90min show, at the 1hr 10min mark. Nightwish formed in '96 in Finland, initially with Tarja (Tar-ya) Turunen as a vocalist. She left the band in 2005, and Anette Olzon stepped in, until 2012. The bassist with a cool beard is Marco, and he sings some parts too. He has his own solo project outside the Nightwish. The mastermind behind 99% of lyrics and music is a keyboardist Tuomas -- you were right!) Guitarist name is Emppu, and the drummer in this show is Jukka (Yukka), but later he was replaced by Kai Hahto because of health issues. Flutes/uilleann pipes/guitar/vocals - Troy, he did not perform in this song. Nightwish is better live, always, so if live performance is available, go for it. In their performances, they often using recorded backtrack of a classical orchestra for their songs. They have very diverse music, from more light songs to epic scores like this, and to really heavy metal stuff, don't think that all their music is alike -- it's opposite of it) For the next step, I can suggest listening to: - Storytime from the same Wacken 2013 live - for move heavy: Ghost River, Song Of Myself, both from Wacken 2013 also - If you want to explore more Floor versatility, check out her performances on a TV show Beste Zangers in 2019. You just starting your journey with Nightwish, and be prepared to be surprised (and sometimes shocked) time and time again! Their music is very emotional and diverse. Btw, Nightwish released their new album on April 10th (Human. :||: Nature.). Greetings from Moscow and stay safe! ;) Looking forward to seeing more NW on your channel!

Yes, the keyboardist is the central player in the band, Tuomas. He writes nearly everything they play. As far as the break of the band from Tarja, they released a letter to her from all of the other band members; the letter itself is available on YT. That breakup was heartbreaking for all of them. As far as the next change, check out the video on YT asking Floor to learn the set list in 48 hours. Yes, Floor is tall, 6'1". She's a Valkyrie. She had been in symphonic metal long before she joined Nightwish. You should check out After Forever and ReVamp. She's also done a lot of collaborative work with Arjen Lucassen and Ayreon along with her sister Irene Jansen.

Your knowledge is a great guide, helping me understand what makes my feelings for Nightish so deep. Since I started listening to their music, almost 20 years before, I always had this impresion that their music is a 'whole' music. I mean, it doesn't consist only of sadness, romanse, anger, or longing, but all of them at once, and more. It has a whole soul inside, representing complicated human personality with all of the complex feeling going inside on different layers of one's mind.

Music has been a very big part of my life since I was a child. Last few years have been quite tough on me and now I'm slowly finding myself again and music is a big part of that process also. I'm myself quite a new member of Nightwish army and it's nice to share these new experiences with someone - especially with people like you. So thank you for your reactions. And Greetings from 🇫🇮😊

The genius of that "time signature" is where they decided to put the accents and how they divide it. The song is in 4/4, but it has a triplet feel in all the melodies and there's constant 1,2,3,12,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 for every bar of that 4/4. Thus if you divide the 4/4 bars like this: *1*,2,3,4,*1*,2,3,4,*1*,2,3,*1*,2,3,4 that keeps the 4/4 metronome on point so you can follow it easily, but allows for that funny accent between third and second bar since all the music is in triplet feel :)

Nightwish Army coming through! Tuomas (keys) writes 98% of the music and lyrics. That might be the reason why his instrument sounds like the center of the music. I really liked your analysis. Please react to 'Song of Myself' also live at Wacken.

Your ocean comparison at the end is actually quite apt; it has always been a frequent theme in the band's music. Their second album is titled "Oceanborn" and Tuomas' lyrics in general just abound with metaphors and references to oceans and seas. "One with the waves, an ocean soul", etc etc.

The dude on the keys is the mastermind of this all...Hello and good evening btw.😎 Good reaction, good analyse enjoyed it much, Thnx for this! 🤘 This is one heck of a song to start it all with, there is more, lots more. This was at Wacken in 2013, the whole concert...pick a song, any song. And you are in for a treat! London 2015 is my 2nd favorite. This band has started in 96 or something 🤔 and Floor Jansen is currently their 3rd lead singer! She started on this journey back in 94-95 +/- where she started in After Forever. There is so much to say about this band and their history. And as stated so many songs 7 Days to the Wolves comes to mind...Romanticide, StoryTime and ofc The Poet and the Pendulum and the Greatest show on Earth those are long and big songs, but awesome! Well Thnx for this, again and till the next ...Have Fun 🖐 Ow oops 😁 almost forgot that sensational feeling you experienced at the end after that Note...is what we call a Floorgasm. 😋 If you continue on this journey expect more to follow... 😎 Just enjoy them 🤪

Fun Important Fact: I had the first edition of Once in which this song came included and on the credits, the creator of this masterpiece is actually the drummer Jukka Nevalainen. It used to say all credits to Tuomas Holopainen (keyboardist) and Emppu Vuorinen (guitar player) except Ghost Love Score; which belongs to the mentioned drummer. That is why Floor (singer) gave odes to the drummer at the end of the song.

Great reaction. Everyone has their own genres of music that is their favorite which is fair enough - diversity brings creativity and we aren't robots. I do think that Nightwish should be bigger that they are outside Europe, Can you imagine them at the Grammy's? Original songs, a goddess for a singer? I doubt anyone would want to go on after them.

Glad you enjoyed this. I discovered Nightwish late in life and have seen them live. (And got to meet them as well). They are so very talented and versatile. And yes, Floor is quite a tall lady ( which only adds to her incredible stage presence as you can see) and is in my opinion one of the best female vocalists.

You Sir killed the promise i made to myself when i created this youtube account: Never to leave a comment, ever. I lately really enjoy (re-)discovering music through reaction videos. Some of them are great because the joy of someone discovering your favourite band brings back memories of the time when i fell in love with them myself. Some of them are great because absolutely clueless non-musicans like me can learn about the inner workings of the compositions or be amazed when an expert explains why a certain feat a performer just accomplished is such a big deal. In my opinion you easily excel in both aspects. You have described this video as "another masterclass from Nightwish". I think masterclass is a fitting term: Your reactions are like the masterclass for listening to music ;-) I am shocked by the amount of details you can grasp on the first run. And i feel your appreciation for the effort and talent of the musicians more then i can feel it from any other reactor or expert. Luckily for the followers of your masterclass you are also a great teacher because you are able to put your great insight into words that everyone can understand. When you raise your eyebrows ... i ask myself what my ears missed that you just noticed. When you smile ... i am eagerly looking forward to the pause and the lesson. While you discover ... we learn. Thank you! Has the band "Iced Earth" already appeared on your reaction radar? I would love to see you react to them. They introduced me to Heavy Metal (together with Blind Guardian, which i also highly recommend). Someone (unfortunately i cannot remember the source) described Iced Earth as "Lovechild of (Iron) Maiden, (Black) Sabbath and (Judas) Priest meets Thrash Metal". The Band had quite alot of lineup changes. But Jon Schaffer (Rhythm Guitar) always has been the driving force behind Iced Earth. The lineup for the 1999 Live in Athens Concert is widely considered their best. Although the video quality might not always be the best i still think that you as a former touring guitarist will enjoy these versions. Therefore my suggestions would be: - Travel in Stygian - kzitem.info/news/bejne/zIJut3t5bHmJgag - Desert Rain - kzitem.info/news/bejne/wquM0piasoBlraA - Dantes Inferno (16 Minutes long, but well worth it) - kzitem.info/news/bejne/rIF3qICYkJSGg4I Greetings from Austria and have a damn good day!

I've watched over 700 reactions to GLS and your impressions are all on point. You should watch Elvann's reaction to GLS in your spare time as she has performed NW covers for many years and often adds insight that others (not being NW singers) cannot bring to the table. Everything Wacken 2013 was Classic Gold and GLS was #13 of a 15 song set. Each song has a completely different sound and Floor's vocal range changes with each song. The more recent Buenos Aires and Wembley concerts are also good and include some songs not performed at Wacken but Wacken appears to have the best sound system. By the way you should listen to your You Tube recording. I had to increase the volume level on my Mac Pro to max for satisfactory volume but the volume frequently faded out for a few seconds and then increase again.
