yup, that was Gandalf from Harry Potter swinging his lightsaber. :D

No just the voice, she's a metal goddess.

Want a JOURNEY? HAHA, Wait untill you watch NIGHTWISH - THE POET AND THE PENDULUM. Well, I loved your reaction. It's natural, in general, most people has the same reaction, wich confirms that this is good, incredible music. Every time I watch this ,I can't stop admiring that woman on stage, she's the best that has happened to Nightwish. Go on with this band, you will like it. New suscriber and waiting for more.

Gandalf from HARRY POTTER!? REEEEEEEEEEEEEE, Gandalf is from Lord of the Rings

Floor just made another victim. Don't worry it doesn't hurt and who would ever want to be released after having expirienced this? There is no reason for you to know this but you have not even scratched the surface yet of what she is vocally capable off. She can sing from opera high to growling low rock. Simply put she can sing any style and sing any song she likes. Let me give you a little back story about the conditions under which Floor joined the band. She joined the band a couple months earlier when irreconcilable differences had arissen between the band and their previous vocalist (Anette Olzon) during the American leg of their 2012/2013 worldtour. They called her the same evening they fired Anette with their next concert being only 2 days away. So she only had 2 days to learn the complete setlist and had 1 rehersal with the band before she had to go on stage and she nailed it. The reason they asked her to join was that they knew what she was vocally capable off because she had toured with them on several ocasions while she was part of the bands "After Forever" and "Revamp". As you might have guessed from what you have seen sofar she is classically trained and can sing opera aswell. Here is a clip if you want to take a look at a Pucinni aria. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8uErKSL2byZp30.html The next song by them you should really take a look at is "The poet and the pendulum". To fully appreciate it i will give you some background to the origin of the song. You have to know that they have had 3 vocalist during the livespan of the band (Floor being the last and current one). The first one was Tarja Turunen (also classically trained) a girl that Tuomas was friends with since kindergarden. They were very sucessfull until she fell in love with her current husband who convinced her to chase a solo carreer. They fired her on the last and recorded (End of an era) concert of the tour with a letter that they also published online (not the smartest move in my oppion). Even though it was a decision made by the whole band it was Tuomas (keyboard player and founder of the band) who received the brunt of the backlash from the fans and press. This threw him in a major depression in which he did not see a future for the band anymore and was even considering suicide. He knew this would have a major impact on his close friends and family so he decided to commit suicide artistically in a song. The closing section is about his parents who build him up agaiin. Here is the link to the best version of this song performed by Floor at Wembley arena. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nciebKqU37-mm6s.html A friendly warning Floor will rip your heart out with this performance and thank you softly for listening at the end of it.

Beast of a singer...same goes for the band.

Great reaction... You got to listen to poet and the pendulum (live at Wembley)

Tuomas (keyboards) writes 95% of every song to Nightwish.. When you do "Poet" at Wembley, London check out the story behind it before. And same do of course with their biggest, the Masterpiece "The Greatest Show on Earth" live in Tampere, Finland (band's home country)

Welcome to the Nightwish world and the 6' 1" Dutch dynamo who has power, range and quite a stage presence. This was from one of the best concerts done at Wacken 2013. Anything off the set list of that concert is amazing and Floor never disappoints, but you have to listen to her LIVE to really appreciate her skill. Hey the band is great as it has been around from 1996 and this group of musicians have been together for over a decade. The singer was only permanently added to the band after this performance, wonder why??? (LOL). She can sing operatic, metal, rock, and even growl if needed. Floor is the Queen of Metal and one of six (6) Dutch singing goddesses leading symphonic metal bands today. Hey love Marco, bassist, being called Gandalf and the Viking movie fits as this is a Finnish band except for Floor (Dutch) and Troy (British). The band has many different styles for you to explore and the NW army will be by to give you plenty of suggestions!!

Floor is Lava!

Greatest band in the world! Watch any of their live performances from Wacken 2013, they are all incredible.

I am glad you really liked this song. I have some background info for you to help navigate their music. Great reaction! I would like to request Nightwish's "Song of Myself" live at Wacken 2013. Thank you........... :-) Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now still is. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen. (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) 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 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. I discovered them about 3 years ago. I saw them in concert last March in the US. They are unbelievable live. Their music has gotten me through some tough times. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol Thank you and I just subbed!

Welcome to the wonder that is Nightwish. Some may call them cheesy or overly theatrical, I call them EPIC. You are so on point about how their music takes you on a journey and tells a story. That 6’1” Amazonian goddess on stage is Floor Jansen, and she is one of the most versatile working singers alive. I loved how you envisioned a Viking battlefield, I don’t know if you’re aware of the band’s history and origin, but they are Finnish (Floor is Dutch), so they would be absolutely thrilled that’s what their music brought to your mind. If you’re a fan of live music, you really can’t get better than Nightwish, especially from the 2013 Wacken and 2016 (?) live at Wembly concerts. Their music ranges from epic theatrical compositions to hard edged folk styled tunes to pure adrenaline heavy metal, and through it all Floor captivates and commands the stage like Mick Jagger can only ever dream of doing. Hope you take the time to explore their catalog and get to know them as I have, I’m a fairly new convert to their fandom and I can’t get enough of them.

just here for the floorgasm

Great reaction! Nightwish is the number one Symphonic Metal Band in the world! They have a lot of songs in their catalog, all from ballads, folk music and quite heavy stuff as well, I’m sure you gonna like their other music, please do a reaction of their “Song of myself “ from this same concert, I’m sure you’re gonna like it.

Prepare to get bombarded by Nightwish requests and honestly I think you will like them all. Some are heavier, some are softer, and some kind of folksy but all are good. Ann, Carolina Fishing, and of course a bunch from Finland and all over Europe. They know about all you could ever want to know about this band. My favorites are Ever Dream, Song of Myself, Storytime, Romanticide from Wacken, Poet and the Pendulum from Wembley, and honestly any song you listen to from Wacken is done very well.

You're gonna be flooded with requests for Poet and the Pendulum (live at Wembley) and Greatest Show on Earth (live at Tampere) Keep in mind that these are not songs, they are experiences. Those are the 2 "epics". If you wanna hear some songs I recommend anything from this show (Wacken 2013) For other performances try Weak Fantasy or Yours is an Empty Hope. all live of course.

Congratulations on your first Floorgasm! Named after Floor Jansen the girl who's vocals just blew you away. And yes, Tuomas (keyboards, composer) writes songs that take you on journeys. Grab ahold of your seat and hold on tight! The Nightwish requests, likes and subscriptions are about to come flooding in. Gandalf (Marco, bass) is also a phenomenal vocalist as you will hopefully see in future reactions. Emppu is a tiny legend of a guitar player. Jukka or Kai depending on which videos you watch are animals on the drums and Troy (who didn;t feature in this one) is a multi-instrumentalist who brings a folk feel to some of the songs. I know of at least 60 that will come watch from out Nightwish reaction discord. We love a good Nightwish reaction and Ghost Love Score is a common entry point for Reactors. I hope to see you continue your Nightwish journey. Feel free to come say hi in the discord: discord.gg/NrTUWyS I know of plenty of fans who will come and give you some detailed info about the band. So instead I will make some requests based upon your tastes. Want something heavier? Song of Myself, Romanticide, Yours Is An Empty Hope Want to see Floor (the singer) rip your heart out of your chest and make you feel raw emotion? The Poet and The Pendulum (Wembley, careful this one gets taken down for copyright, appeal and it should come back up, better yet, record your reaction an edit in breaks in the song to avoid strikes in the first place) Want to feel absolute awe at a musical experience? The Greatest Show on Earth (Live at Tampere) There are so many more, but I highly recommend going with live performances, Nightwish are one of those rare beasts who are invariably better live.

The viking scene hahaha yes i do feel that! Awesome

Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!

Nice to see someone showing Jukka some love! He brings it every time he plays, so good.

Many on comments have suggest "The Poet and the Pendulum at Wembley" and that is really more than just song, it is emotional roller coaster and specially when knowing that this song is based to true history, it gives some special effect to it. Floor Jansen is great singer and she does not just sing, she lives song thru...And that makes her also so lovely to see and hear. on live clips or in concert. Nightwish have a lot of musical stories to tell so why not just take next "Storytime Live Tampere" (Great audio/video quality + nice floorgasm at the end of song)

Continue with "Romanticide", "Everdream", and "Storytime" from the same concert, Waken 2013. Or just watch the whole concert!

Great reaction. Welcome to the symphonic metal side of life.

The Family has allready been here =). Nice reaction. Keep rockin...

Floor is a goddess, yes. Welcome, brother. :)

Nightwish is a symphonic metal band that has been around for over 20 years (started mid 90's). Their typical song is closer to 5-6 minutes long. Floor Jansen is the 3rd different singer for them. A few other songs you might like: After Forever - Digital Deceit Revamp - Here's my Hell live from Bloodstock 2014 Epica - Sancta Terra live from Retrospect concert

Just here for the Floorgasm! I see Nightwish, I click!! Jukka on drums kicks serious ass! Marco (bass - you called him Gandalf) IS a Viking!!! Game of Thrones vibe? Viking longboat - Dragons on bow.Floor as a Valkyrie!? I love watching people meet the Nightwish and take a trip. YOU, sir, did not disappoint!!!! You see it my way and I see it your way! Great reaction!!!

Love em. NIGHTWISH are masters at what they do, they don't do "gig's" , they do an EXPERIENCE you won't forget, They have perfected the ability to touch every Human sense and soul ALL at the same time. funny thing about Floor, She was originally just a last minute stand-in after Anette left mid US tour, they were very near to reimbursing all the tickets, Floor was given 48 hours to get to the States from Sweden and learn every song while on the way, not many believed she could pull it off but she went on stage and killed it, This Video is from that first tour with them, . She does everything live, no recordings, no overlays, that's just how good Floor is. I recently saw a great comment referring to Floor somewhere else, which said " most singers sing what they can within their limits, while Floor just sings what she wants"

Love watching people having their first FLoorgasm!!

Next check out Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum at Wembley. After that do Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth at Tampere.

"Everdream" live....get ready for the vocals...it s something else

Another Floorgasm for my collection. Thank you.

It's your smile, attitude and appreciation of every music aspect that won one more sub for you. And you will win thousands more. Hopefully millions! I am really grateful for this reaction video. ❤️

I said it in the last reaction video to this song on another channel, but I repeat: I basically watch those videos just for the reaction to the Floorgasm at the end of the song! Your fist shaking was a great reaction to it!

Just found you. I love your energy and enthusiasms. I love Nightwish! I've been a fan from almost the beginning and it is great to see new fans. Welcome!

Your damm right se not only sounds like a goddes she realy isssss , look at her 😀❤️👍

The part where you picture the Viking on his ship, is where I picture walking through a magical enchanted forest, full of fae and other magical beings haha! Like you said, we all have our own ways to interpret different songs. Nightwish have been my favourite band since I first found them in 2004 and this is my favourite song of all time, I fell in love with it the first time I heard it on the "Once" album with Tarja (first lead singer) on vocals but then along came Floor and she made it even more epic!! A few others you need to check out are: Nightwish - Romanticide live at Wacken 2013 Nightwish - Song of Myself live at Wacken 2013 Nightwish - Weak Fantasy live at Tampere 2015 Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere 2015 Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera end of an era with Tarja. Looking forwards to seeing more NW reactions from you! :)

Nice Reaction, but the thumbs up was for painting the viking battlescene alone ;)

It usually takes one song of Nightwish to get hooked if you like this music. This isn't just one of their epic songs...every song is epic like this. Tuomas behind the keyboards are the master mind behind this bands music. Check out Song Of Myself from Wacken or just any song from Wacken. This Gandalf is one of the best singers in the world, Ghost River and you will see or hear him.

Another captive of Queen Floor, and sent directly to the Nightwish universe, do not get impatient and travel the kingdom carefully, many wonders await you ... Good reaction, you have earned one more subscriber. Compatriots of the NW kingdom !! Do not drive the newly initiated with the biggest beasts crazy, let's take it little by little, step by step, it has a long way to go, the ideal is as Kelly Deacon did and when it was prepared to unleash the beasts. Greetings chas

Nightwish - ever dream from wacken 2013! you have to do it next

The best music today is not from the USA. As you are finding out now some of the best music and lyrics for songs come from bands from other parts of the world. They sound better live than they do on their studio albums. That is a sign of a great musical group.

Listen here; How epic does a band and it's music have to be for the band to be able to leave the stage. In the middle of a concert. In the middle of a song. For a full minute. With only the "elevator music" running. And the audience is still grinning themselves senseless. How epic do you have to be? Only high end musicians can get away with something like that.

Ghost Love Floor = a journey ... to the local park on a lovely day Poet and the Pendulum = a journey ... across the country, to experience the grandeur of nature The Greatest Show on Earth = a journey ... through the cosmos, witnessing the birth of planets and the depth and beauty of creation Subscribed.

I really enjoyed your reaction! Your enthusiasm is contagious 😊

A 6' Valkyrie leading the Viking battle :)

Goddamnit, I know the song but goosebumps from the first second and epic tears when floor started. Not alot of music does that. Happy I found your channel from the Harry Mack reactions, you are really chill!

Nightwish,the Gods of Symphonic Metal.Following them since their first LP.Another Floorgasm Victim!....always love to see the rections to this dutch Goddess.Followed her now for so long.Check out her former Band AFTER FOREVER !....See Marco and their former Singer Tarja together live with PHANTOM OF THE OPERA....

Welcome to the Nightwish Nation. You should watch "Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth (Live at Tampere)" next. But the circuit path at the moment is to watch Poet and the Pendulum first I guess. Your imagination is on point, Tuomas Holopainen (Keyboardist) is the band's creator and songwriter. He is heavily influenced by film scores such as "The Village", "Lord of the Rings" and Hans Zimmer.

Yes i feel it !

Dude, real talk here. I've probably listened to this song 1000 times and seen 1000 other reactions. But you my friend, actually pumped me the fuck up with that Viking scene cause thats the type of shit i imagine when i listen to this type of songs and it was on point. Great reaction, great dude, take my like and sub, greetings from Greece to all the Nightwish fans out there! P.S. gandalf from harry potter... Im still crying XD

Great reaction! Yes, Nightwish will take you on a musical journey. Prepare to be bombarded by Nightwish fans who will come to watch, listen, and request. Several good songs have already been mentioned by other posters. some of them will get repeated. Some of my favorite Nightwish songs are among them. One of them is not, so I will recommend Elan, live at Wembley kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsmnpdqDsLbFdZs.html I will let Ann tell you the band's history and such. She'll do a better job than I could.

Yes, that entire concert is mind-blowing. Jukka (drummer here) is an absolute beast! Kai (current drummer due to Jukkas health) is also great, but I just don't feel like he's having as much fun. Every member is top of the game, but don't flaunt individually. They complement each other, and perform MASTERPIECES. So many songs to watch, wide range of emotion and strengths to the songs. Strap in.

I have spent the last 3 hours watching Nightwish reactions 😅

No we have a hobbit on the guitar, gandalf is the bass player :P

Gosh I love you man! Nightwish is badass and so are you!

I imagine she’s a Valkyrie and she is commanding troops of Viking warriors. This is her speech to them

Great reaction, but you cut otu the very last bit, the Jukkagasm, shame on you! Just kidding ofc, nice reaction, for a much shorter and a wee bit heavier, Romanticide. You gonna love that too :P

How nice to see adam savage to join our family

i broke my replay button on original video,so now im watching all those reaction videos

Very very nice reaction Video - I enjoyed it a lot, and I have seen dozens of them alone to this masterpiece of Music. And Floor makes it to something Special. She's unbelieveable. Her voice and range is out of this world - like you said: it's the voice of a Goddess. Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. Keep on going with them. You won't be diappointed… greetings from Germany (P.S. you have a new Sub 😊👍)

Funny that you mentioned Gandalf. This band has something common with him. The orchestrations you hear in the middle section and background is pre-recorded by London Symphony Orchestra, the same that recorded the score of The Lord of the Rings. Also funny that you mentioned Disney. The main composer Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) has made a solo album called The Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge. The cover art is drawn by Don Rosa himself. Their is a good music video A Lifetime of Adventure.

i'm not sure why everyone always wants to leap straight for the high minded concept stuff. This whole concert is worth going over with a fine tooth comb before moving on to some heavy hitter from another show. It's a one in a million recording where every aspect was damn near perfect. Pace yourself dude. Dawdle around in this concert. Tiny gems are sometimes more precious than heaping treasure chests.

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! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!

Floor Jansen is not human... she is of some long since gone celestial race left behind in our world as a treasure to marvel at. She is too good for us really and I can therefore feel nothing but humble and greatful to being alive in her time.

Good job. Love the garden shed. Lawn mowers ftw. 🤟

They do have shorter songs too and many of them include male vocals by the bassist, Marco Hietala (Gandalf). You should check out Nightwish - Weak Fantasy (Live Tampere 2015). You will NOT regret it. Hahaha thanks for the awesome reaction!

Nightwish in a lane of their own, Floor is the Queen,heaven felt that G# at the end.

Hi man, you put a show on ! There are 100s reactions to this video. You are in top 5 in my list. Dig out the next step in this NW journey.

Thanks for stopping by.. I f you choose to remain, you are in for potentially life changing stuff... Take in - Song of Myself, Storytime or Last Ride of the Day for Wacken 2013. Poet and the Pendulum and Greatest Show on Earth will still be there, but take in a few of the shorter ones first....Enjoy the ride... Floorgasm confirmed....

Great genuine reaction. And yes thats theatrical...but Nightwish is so much more. Ready for the ride with you. New sub here.

Well now Chas, it is so much fun watching someone's first Floorgasm. So afraid you couldn't stand it on the last verse it was so good that you were going to stop it to relieve yourself. haha. Seen it done by way too many reactors. Way to maintain dude. Now, since in a recent video you mentioned her, would love to see your granddaughter watch this video and her reaction to you reacting when she's about 15 years old. (Wonder what age you'll introduce her to this performance of Nightwish). I commented on your last Floor video and said, react to Nightwish Ever Dream from this same concert - Wacken 2013 Great inclusion of the base player into the mix and at the end, the drummer double kicking that shit out of those bass drums.

Loooooool Gandalf from Harry Potter....amazing stuff my dude....now seriously...great reaction, welcome to the amazing Nightwish world full of Floorgasms

Awesome reaction bro !!!!!

13:33 tipical espression of floorgasm

Great reaction my man,new sub.

You were close... Drums: Pirate Bass: Viking Keyboards: Wizard Guitar: Warlock Vocals: Valkyrie

Great reaction, please do more from this show x

Lo que nos perdimos en Eurovisión con esta banda ... Ganó por votación popular , pero un jurado de la televisión finlandesa los veto ..... Hubiera sido una gala histórica con una canción como está , la primera vez que oigo a un ángel cantar.....

OK, check out the Poet and The Pendulum from the famous Wembley live. That's perhaps even a notch more epic than this (if possible). Or pretty much anything from the Tampere show...

I get Lord of the Rings vibes on this song, and actually thers some great video cuts on this song with the movies...

Ever Dream!! Wacken 2013!

All those transitions, and they nailed 2 before the vocalist even came in :P and they walk around like 'yep. Playin a grandiose rock opera. oh you want to throw in a 3 count with that 4 count? sure why not. Floor wants to get a little aggressive? Yea lets throw that in there too. " Love em ;) You should definitely do I Want my tears Back and Aplenglow for some really cool solos along with the really artsy pieces. Glad you reacted :)

Liked you and the reaction. Nightwish is crazy good and the live performances are amazing. You will be flooded by Nightwish suggestions so I will give you something else. If you want to see more of the vocalist Floor Jansen you should check her first band: After Forever - Sins of Idealism live at Pinkpop 2004. Not the best sound but believe me it's worth to spend some time..

You love music and music love you back.

The journey just started ... Enjoy and be amazed :) Very nice reaction video! Thanks a lot!

Mate I just hit the rewind just to see your face when you got hit with the Floorgasm lol!!

And that’s how I ended up with their entire discography lol and I adore and appreciate all three singers from Tarja to Annete to the perfection that is Floor. Enjoy the Nightwish journey.

i am only here to see another Floorgasm - and I saw it :D

The Nightwish Army like to describe the group as a Valkyrie, a pirate, a viking, a hobbit, a biker and a wizard. React to Ghost River next to let Marco impress you with his vocals.

Thing with Nightwish is... you never know what's gonna happen next. More so with their newest songs.

welcome to nightwish 's world . my favourite band in the last 20 years . floor is the third singer of nightwish and yes she 's a goddess , the dutch dynamo 6'1"without heels and she made another victim .now you are under floor's spell and we wait for more . believe me nightwish dont have bad songs , every song for the wacken 2013 concert is amazing but also tampere 2015 or wembley 2016 .wacken has a better song but you can go wrong with nightwish. greetings from Portugal and you have a new subscriver

Good to see more Americans are approaching to metal rather than mainstream music. The states needs to really look into these bands cause hearing the same artists making albums less than a year makes me wonder the talent they actually have. Pop singers are really bad live, metal sounds better live. Floor has more talent then those pop singers for sure.

Not surprising she has the voice of a goddess... because she IS a goddess. Glad you appreciate the drummer. And it's not a complete journey if you cut off the end. You missed Floor giving that drummer (Jukka) kudos.

You can check the version in Costa Rica,it was one of the first time she sang that song,even ,she cried.

welcome to club nightwish. their current singer is floor jansen, whom you just saw, they previously had annette olzon(2nd), and tarja(tar-ya) turunen(1st). tarja was their original singer, and i recommend checking out some of their stuff with her, such as passion and the opera, as well as phantom of the opera(my favs). their keyboardist is also their composer, Tuomas Holopainen. gandalf, the bassist, is marco hietala. their guitarist is emppu vourinen. their drummer jukka nevalainen had to semi retire due to his health, and is on hiatus while he tries to get better. their current drummer is kai hahto in the mean time. your reaction is quite common actually. nightwish was already a phenomenal band, but with the addition of floor, its just something special now. PLENTY of nightwish fans, myself included, were put off when the band and tarja split. annette was ok, but it just wasnt the same. then they landed floor. shut the front door. those notes she hits we call 'floorgasms' cause of the goosebumps and chills they cause. and many of us refer to her as a goddess, or amazon. the entire wacken 2013 concert is solid gold, as is their wembly performance, and their one at tempere. the highlight of wembly is of course 'poet and the pendulum', and the tempere is 'the greatest show on earth'. thats the song name, and just a word of warning, that last one is over TWENTY minutes long.

We all feel this. Absolutely. Tip of the iceberg. I love it when this happens.

The Floorgasm was real, great reaction

Awesome reaction 😁 I recommend " within temptation deceiver of fools (the silent force live tour)" they're similar to nightwish 🤘
