My wife and I are 80 and 79 years old, we had the pleasure of seeing Nightwish in New York two years ago....My wife had never been to a Metal concert, she didn't want to go, but after seeing this Band, and Floor, she said this was the most Magical concert that she was ever at....She fell in love with Floor, and said you can't take your eyes away from her, and has the best female voice she has ever heard....Great reaction, Bob from New Jersey

Floor is in a league of her own!

"Nightwish is the genre"; Oh you are SO RIGHT❤

“Nightwish is the genre.” Yes. 💯

Mrs.Coach is a wee gem.Her hair is gorgeous and the way she looks on in wonder is totally endearing. Yes,Nightwish is an experience,so much more than just a group. The love and joy they impart between themselves and the audience is palpable. Love you guys !! ❤

I'm 50 and love the skill and emotions the story writting and poetry Nightwish brings. They are a fine wine. Thank you guys.

I'm with Mrs. Coach. I'm 79, never liked Metal or even hard rock but there's something about this band that is captivating! Love them!!

Nightwish connects emotionally with us and there is nobody better then Tuomas in bringing out how we feel thru Floor and Nightwish

I come from the world of prog and classic rock... the who, yes, pink floyd, rush, the moody blues.... to me Nightwish is the metal offspring of The Moody Blues, although there's more to it than that. I fell head over heels for them. I will also say, if floor wasn't the singer, I probably wouldn't have fallen in love with them. She just has this magic aura about her!

Nightwish is like a family songs are like story's

Yes he can sing. So maybe you should react to their tribute to Pink Floyd and the song High Hopes, live, End of an era from 2005. There he really shines. And so do Emppu (guitar) in two solos.

These are all world-class musicians all on ONE stage. Each one could very easily anchor their own band, but they all come together, check their ego at the door and serve the music and its needs. Nobody is bigger than the music and its message. This has always been their (Nightwish's) super power since day one back in the late 90s.

Nightwish is pretty much the only band that both me, a 47 old man, and my 15 year old daughter like. We saw then live last summer and it was amazing and emotional.

It's so cute to hear you go on about Nightwish. I can, with the utmost certainty, assure you that around the world, people watching this are just nodding their heads and remembering when their souls found Nightwish. What a lot of people don't realize is that one of the most attractive things about them as a group, besides the greatest composing of our times, is that nobody performs above another ... they each offer exactly what is best for the song. Nobody shows off, nobody plays "look at me", they support each other, they love each other ... and it comes through the music and lands in your heart. The one person who thought they were above the band, as a whole, was fired, and it was traumatic, but they improved. So glad you've become "one of us!" This band deserves every single accolade they get.

Before the realease of their latest album, Floor always said that this song was the most demanding Nightwish song she sang.

And you still got 3 of the big 4 to go , poet and pendulum Wembley , the greatest show on earth Tampere and dead boys poem Buenos Aires ❤

The reason why many Non Metal Heads take a huge liking to Nightwish is that nearly all (98%) their songs are so "LISENABLE" Great reaction coaches

Ai’m 52 y old guy finland and seen Nightwish when tthey goes world since 1996 . And i’m proud of NW🇫🇮 By the way bass singer Marco Hietala’s big brother Zachary Hietala is guitar virtuose. Marco and Zachary have own pump/band called TAROT. Found youtube ❤

Your wife and you have so much more to come...There is nothing like Nightwish! going wild out in the wild....

Most singers would be happy to belt one or two good notes during a song - here Floor belts over half the song, and isn't even short of breath.....

Marko is the bomb. He’s as versatile and as powerful as Floor. ❤

Coach spot on,Nightwish is the genre.

Mr.& Mrs. Coach, can you imagine ANY other band performing this song, and sounding any better than Nightwish....I very much doubt it. And so do you. Thank you for letting Nightwish into your hearts.

Mr. Coach: Nightwish is the genre. - Man is only 4 or 5 songs in and already got it

She's gonna love them the most once she realizes the deep level of meaning and poetry within the lyrics of NW's songs... they all have a beautiful deep hidden message...

Mrs. Coach just utterly mesmerized, and Coach was like “Damn, girl…just DAMN!” (Floor) in so many spots. Yep, that was fun! -NW Army, western NC Battalion

What sets this group apart, is their love for their music,each other and their fans. When they are on stage,we are on stage with them, we all become one very positive and happy energy.

You have got to find their Pink Floyd cover of “High Hopes. Even David Gilmour approves. His vocals are superb

I found this group during Covid. It helped me get through(I’m a nurse in Texas) and I was able to see them live in 2022! It was awesome!

He (Marko) cannot only sing - he is one of the best in this genre!!

A Song of Myself next time if you like their voices play together, this is the song for both of you!!

Yep, It's all about the joy. Well said. If you can't find Absolute Joy in that audience, ya ain't lookin... Continue to enjoy your journey through this rabbit hole! Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘

Hello again Coach and Mrs. Coach. I'm 67 years old and I found Nightwish a little over 3 years ago and fell in love with this band. Carol, my wife of 43 years, and I travelled from Phoenix to San Francisco to see them perform live at the Warfield Theatre on May 18th, 2022. The show was spectacular from start to finish. Loved this reaction and keep them coming.

It's always amazing watching people discover Marco; he is truly a great talent.

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 and again well done

The Greatest Show on Earth live in Tampere 👍

Belated greetings from a member of the Aussie contingent!!!

This is probably my favorite of the songs written for the previous vocalists

" Ever Dream " is the sixth single by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Released as the first single from the band's fourth studio album, Century Child, it was the group's first single in two years, following " Deep Silent Complete " in 2000. The song is more operatic in nature than later works and the music itself is more on the heavy metal side. It is still played live since 2002 until today. "Ever Dream" was certified with Gold Disc in Finland two days after its release, with more than 5,000 copies sold, and later received Platinum Disc with more than 10,000 copies sold.

There seems to be a switch that flips in Floor when she's in front of a crowd. An internal light just pours out of her thru her expressions AND vocals. Probably a combination love for the fans, love from the fans, and the enjoyment and excitement of performing with her band mates. Maybe I'm being a fan boy but it's pretty hard to miss

Madame, you got good taste. Bon Jovi is one of my favourite bands, Nightwish is my all-time Favourite 😍 💕 Hail the Valkyrie Goddess and her Brothers ❤️ 😇 🤘

One of the songs that all 3 lead singers have sung. From the 2002 4th album Century Child, first record with Marko on bass. The studio version didn't start out 'softer', they made that change when they took it live. Eventually check out the live version of this with Original singer Tarja Turunen in Helsinki 2005 (End of an Era DVD). It doesn't matter which lady sang it, Marko's vocal parts really makes the song for me.

In case it hasn't been posted a hundred time before, Marco won the Finland version of The Masked Singer a few years ago. He has also done a couple fine guest appearances with Delain.

Such a great song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Now you need a Leo Moracchioli beard, Coach 😂😂😂😂 You got that right about Marko's botched surgery. Great Marko songs are High Hopes (Pink Floyd tribute End Of An Era concert), The Islander from the Tampere concert and While My Lips Are Still Red from the Wembly concert 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

A song about an ideal love, one of my favorites. Not a frown in the whole band, performing this song. After years of listening to Nightwish and getting to know the band members better, watching interviews with Tuomas Holopainen about the creative process, I understood that the uniqueness of each of their songs starts from the composition, from the choice of means in which the idea of the song is expressed, and only then to the interpretation, as the uniqueness of each type of plant starts from the seed. It's an organic process that ultimately leads to that impression of unique individuality of each of their songs. I'm glad that you two are open to their music from the first listen, because this contributes to the validation of my own openness to Nightwish. Like you, I didn't consistently listen to metal until this band, and now I hardly listen to anything else.

So happy you continue your journey , when i feel sad , lonely or down...i just put on nightwish and it restores my spiritual wellbeing❤

Been listening to them for almost 2 years every day. Stil not tired of them. Still haven't heard/seen everything. Takes me time to soak their songs in. I never followed a band like i have with NW. The only band i want to see live. I love all kinds of music but classic and NW are my favorite!

The best as I think

I’ve been saying that for a while also. They are a genre of their own. ❤😊

A few years ago, i introduced my wife's 70-something mother to Nightwish, and she showed my wife's father. And they got so hooked we wound up traveling together to see them on the last US tour. (And good thing - the band announced they're not planning to tour the next album, dropping here soon.) Great job, and Rock On! 🤘😎👍

Story time with Mrs. Coach! Oh that was fun! This was wonderful, dynamic and powerful, sounding so immense! Not the kind of thing I personally reach for when I press the play button, but I can not deny these wonderful vibes!

He should be able to play that guitar, it's named after him. ESP EV-1, EV standing for Emppu Vuorinen. The guy playing the guitar.😃

Jukka, king of the double bass kicks!! Miss him.

Realistically, Coach is correct about the genre being "Nightwish." They have incorporated so many different influences, styles, textures and colors into their music that they really have become a genre unto themselves. Here are a few songs that I think Mrs. Coach especially will enjoy: "While Your Lips Are Still Red" live at Wembley, "The Islander" live at Tampere, "Alpenglow" live at Wembley, "My Walden" live at Tampere, and "Dead Boys Poem" live at Buenos Aires. I believe all are on Gabriel's list. ☮❤

A real balade❤ for you is While your lips are still red live at Wembley 2015.

UK Army popping in for a beer and a biscuit and another great reaction

For a little Marko on lead vocals, and something different than anything you’ve seen yet, with Floor singing backup, check out the Islander live in Tampere, Finland. I recommend holding off on Greatest Show on Earth and especially Poet and the Pendulum (my personal favorite) for now. Enjoy the ride. It’s a great one!

Back in the day this band was my number 1. But felt bad when the drummer left and after Marko walk away fro the band so did I. Have not listened to one Nightwish song post Marko.

One of my NW favorites ❤with 'Song of Myself'. That Jukka's double kicking 🥁I miss him so 🥺But Tuomas (keyboards) our metal Mozart, I am so waiting for their 10th album this year.

Si quieren escuchar a Marko escuchen Ghost River...

To be very honest here! I love the fact the two of you give honest reactions! Being a real Nightwish-fan, I suggest, means that one strongly believes in trying to live an honest life, where love, depth, poetry and trying to be an empathic and meaningful human being, really sets the tone.

Ms. Coach welcome to the rabbit hole. There’s so much more coming. Thanks for the great reactions guys. NWA Philly

Marco can SING. High Hopes was mentioned, also Ave Maria (yes, that Ave Maria) with Floor, Phantom of the Opera with Tarja, the Islander, Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red at Wembley, this his band Tarot, collabs with Delain, Ayreon, Exit Eden, for harder sound Master Passion Greed and Tarot's Wings of Darkness, Nightwish's Ghost River, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, etc

Love your Commant great againe :) For me best live band in the World.🤘🤘🤘🤘

Marko also won the masked singer of Finland.

As viewers it’s nice to have folks like yourselves do an absolutely honest reaction and yes yours feels very genuine. As for nightwish, they are as a genuine group as they come! I picked up on that with them too as you have stated here to this song reaction. Their performance alone proves their individual talent to be so captivating for whatever reason. I say that in the greatest respects to all the bands and music if either a huge fan for or like in my time of 50 some odd years. Yes Floor’s and Marco’s voices are incredible together which puts the icing on the cake. In an interview (hopefully you get interested to know them more individually) said that Floor is the is the easiest singer he’s had to work with on the 🎤. The training from both and the professionalism by both give us that end result. It’s incredible that Floor at the point of the Waken concert sang songs she wasn’t recorded or built with the band. She took over as the lead singer midway thru their world tour. Complete amazing of a talent she is. Then Marco having the ability to sing with all 3 singers is another feet in its self. And not disregarding the rest of the band, they to are the cream of the crop of unbelievable talent. I could go on and on about this band but I’d typing for an hr or more to say how much this band means to me. But I’m sure you both are beginning to understand from all our army has shared up to know. This band is as humbled as you’ll get. They perform music because they’re all in it for the love and to perform live to the fans. And it shows on stage and how they conduct themselves off. Hopefully as you dig deeper you both can watch their documentaries. And yes the love for the band will grow. Enjoying your journey and this lates reaction. Yes our general has sent a list to review but don’t feel you have to follow it to a T. Some reactors will veer off course because something has tickled your fancy to see/ hear🤟

Symphonic Metal. 🤘

Thanks for entertaining me with Nightwish & a song that is about longing for a connection with a person one loves.despite the possibility of failure, suggesting that one should never give up on the hope of finding true love. P.S. Marko has never regained his clean falsetto vocals after a surgeon damaged a nerve leading to Marko's vocal chords.

My dear Coaches, another great reaction. Thanks for highly entertaining 15 minutes with my favorite band. And you are somewhat right. Floor and Marko were meant to be together. But, I highly recommend watching Markos newest release from only a few weeks ago: 'Left on Mars' (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7qXhLKbmNjbqnk.html). It is the first collaboration with Tarja Turunen, the original Nightwish vocalist, since her removing from the band in 2005. And this also sounds so perfect. So, one could argue that these two are also meant to be together. But I guess if you mix extraordinary quality with extraordinary quality, something extraordinary will happen... Regardless of the artists involved. On a sidenote: It is great to see how time heals all wounds, 'cause at the time Tarja was still with Nightwish, it was always rumored that Tarja and Marko didn't got along well...

This is my favorite version of my favorite NW song. I can still play it on guitar and bass and, at one time, could play it on drums. It's probably the romantic in me. It's a bit funny that Mrs. Coach said Marco and Floor were meant to sing together. As of this writing, Marco either is or was quite recently performing with Tarja, Nightwish's original singer. I didn't see that reunion coming, but I'm glad it happened.

The moment you said ''Informative Comments'', I thought 'he especially means General Gabe' lol. Glad you listened to this one, it's my favourite! Yep Marko can definitely sing! If you haven't heard them yet you should listen to The Islander, that's mostly him, or Ghost River, he and Floor do some notes in that one. When you get to Greatest Show on Earth, that too.

Always goosebumps with that Mr and Mrs coach. Thank you so much. I really enjoy to see you. Greeting from Greece.

Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. The point you make about the geographically diverse composition of the NW Army is so valid. Real talent attracts the human soul and Nightwish are stacked with real talent. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, you two look like good people!

Thank you! Very, Very good....

Hi, I'm pushing 47 years young! I'm an old school metal head with the idea that Mozart, Beethovan, Vivaldi etc... they were metal before electronic instruments. Thomas, via Nightwish, the late actor Sir Christopher Lee earlier, put the old in the new, glorious musical artistic expression!

Nightwish has the rather unique ability to appeal to everyone. I dont think Ive ever met someone who actually dont like them and Ive been blasting their music since 1996. I think its a combination of things. First of all, No one can hear a Nightwish song and NOT understand that these are absolute masters of their craft and thats appealing to people, even if its not something your normally interested in you still admire their skill and dedication. Scondly, it IS metal, but there is alot of pop, classic and foolk music influences in there. Theyve kinda taken some things from almost very genre and spliced it into their metal so there is always ahint of _something_ someone likes in there. Third, Its a very exclusive sound. Unless you are from northern Europe, the vast majority of people has never heard aything quite like it. If youve heard nightwish, it would be REALLY hard to mistake one of their songs for some other band, even if its asong youve never heard before, you would very likely be able to tell its Nightwish. This makes it kind of exsotic to alot of people, its exciting. And last but not least... their songs are *catchy* as all hell Another contributing factor if you have th video and not just the sound is their charisma. Theyre always absolutely extatic o be there. They LOVE doing this and they LOVE ther audence. The Army is one of the largest groupd of ride or die superfans in the world. There are bands out there with alot more fans but most are "casual" fans. Ive never met a casual Nightwish fan, they are insanely dedicat4d and loyal to a T, every single one of them. Thats not just the music, thats an intimate connction stemming from the fans actually being genuinely apprciated and being _show_ they are appriciated. You can come along way by just being a pleasant person and when I see Emppu grinning from ear to ear like a kid on christmas while shredding before giving high fives and tossing a whole pocket full of guitar picks to the audience its so obviously genuine happiness. God bless them all. They ar what every musician should strive to become.

You have said good words about the music and his power. Hi from Italy.

Oh yeah, you will enjoy every song has a different sound. The epic songs,🎶 "The poet and The pendulum" 🎶and 🎵"The Greatest Show on Earth"🎵 are long, please do some research on those songs before you watch them. 💯It will make the songs all the more impactful if you do. AND the entire Wacken concert is on KZfaq. Thank once again for reacting to my favorite group, Nightwish Army Canada over and out!

I CAN REALATE WITH MISS COACH. I TOO AM A PERSON OF RETIREMENT THAT HAS FELL DOWN THE NIGHTWISH RABBIT HOLE. BEEN DOWN HERE A FEW YEARS AND HAVE NOT GROWN TIRED OF IT YET. I AM WORKING ON 76. ROCK ON .

Nightwish - Watch the opening of the live show first in 2013 - DARK CHEST OF WONDERS

The genre of Nightwish is called Symphonic Metal. The appeal of Nightwish is very simple to explain. Powerful masculine music combined with powerful feminine singing, it just fits together & it works. There is another band called Epica. They are also symphonic metal with a female leads, and her name is Simone. She is a close friend of Floor's. Floor did a duet with Simone & Epica called Sancta Terra. Simone sings like Floor & when they sing in harmony, it is mind-blowing. I highly recommend Sancta Terra with guest singer Floor.

Thank you for yet another Nightwish reaction

Greetings from Finland

Did you know Floor is slightly over 6" foot tall closer to 6 feet 1'. And she is an Angel can't be from this Earth. 😇

Floor is an enchantress - she draws you in, enthralls and seduces you. And Marko is also a wonderful talent, both on the bass and vocals - you will see & hear more of him over time if you continue this journey. The whole band is incredible .... they make me grin like a maniac one minute, then bring tears to my eyes the next. Tuomas is a genius of epic proportions, and in Floor (along with the rest of the band) he has the perfect tool to manifest his vision and present something truly extraordinary.

Can't wait to watch you guys react to some of their more emotional songs... The Poet and the Pendulum, Dead Boy's Poem, Sleeping Sun (Tampere version pleeease!), How's the Heart? (Planet Rock version)... the list goes on. Keep up the good work!

Beard Wranglin' ain't easy, Mrs Coach - my niece calls me 🎅 when mine is in full effect. 😂

Another great one!. 👍

Finnish Heavy Metal with a Dutch singer. Rock!

Symphonic metal ❤❤

I'm loving your reactions.... looking forward to your next Nightwish already.

When you feel like you want that hype up you should watch the opener to this performance Dark Chest Of Wonders.

If you'd like to hear yet *another* kind of sound from the band, and see Marko take center stage, one of my favorite performances from them is "The Islander" from their Tampere concert.

For their voices together -> 7 days to the wolves (Live Wembley) For "theatrical" play with both voices -> Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean.

Soldier from that state UP NORTH!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MICHIGAN!!!

This Wacken 2013 concert, is one of the best concerts of all time! I watch it every year 1-2 times and i get always goosebumps... They did a DVD from this concert called "Showtime, Storytime"! It would be great, to react on my absolute favorite song of Nightwish: The greatest show on earth - its a more than 20 minutes long piece of art about the emergence of life on earth! There are 2 fantastic live version out there: Wembley 2015 - with Richard Dawkins at the End and a very special instrumantation and the other one is Tampere 2015, with a fantastic fireworks synchronized with the story of the earth :) Maybe do some research about the lyrics before - if you want.

Can't wait you guys listening Weak Fantasy, Wish I had an Angel, 7 days to the wolves, Yours is an empty hope, Ghost river, Last ride of the day, Shudder before beautiful, Song of myself etc. Sooooooo good stuff coming up 🙂 You're great!

Another fun reaction! Marko paired well with both Floor and Tarja (their first singer). There is no wrong way to experience Nightwish and feel free to go in whatever order suits you. I would highly recommend using the links Gabriel provided, since these are the best audio and video quality for a given song. Some of the stuff out there is not the best quality (or the playback is at the wrong speed), so be cautious. NW does have some soft stuff and ironically, two of their softest songs have Marko in the lead vocals. Mrs. Coach would like The Islander (live at Tampere) and Kiss While Your Lips are still Red (Wembley 2015). They also have a soft jazz number with their second singer Anette Olzon called Slow Love Slow (Imaginaerum movie video). Floor covered this 2 years ago in Amsterdam, without Nightwish, and it is amazing. Floor also does an intimate duet with Troy on an acoustic version of How's the Heart (Planet Rock Acoustic Session). I would also check out Sleeping Sun, with Tarja from the End of an Era DVD. Floor also does an amazing version of this, but I prefer Tarja's take on the song. Of course, NW has its harder songs as well. 😁

🇬🇧 Norfolk strapped in backing Jukka on drums and Marco almost at his best 😊 try High Hopes tribute to pink Floyd

I've been following your Nightwish journey and suddenly realised that I hadn't subscribed! I have now rectified that and look forward to your continuing journey. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
