First Tuomas the Sorcerer - Keyboards Marco the Viking - Bass Floor the Valkyrie Goddess- Vocals Jukka the Pirate - Drums Emppu the Hobbit - Guitar Troy the Druid - Pipes/Whistles React to Nightwish "The Islander" live in Tampere if you want a mellow, low-key, celtic, acoustic song. It's beautiful and Marco does the leads.

A Viking, a wizard, a hobbit, a pirate and a Valkyrie... What else do u need to create the best band?

Nightwish sleeping sun live at tampere 2015 is a beautiful ballad 💖👍

If Floor was classified in a classical category (Fach) she is most likely a Dramatic Soprano. The loudest voice classification...meaning they can sing over an entire orchestra. Yes, she is special.

Great reaction, guys! Floor can definitely cut through any band volume!

Hugh Nightwish fan please do "kiss while your lips are red." Great way to see Marco sing with floor as back up

If you guys want to hear slower song from Nightwish with Floor then you must to check Sleeping sun live in Tampere 2015 👌

She was just 10 months in nightwish, 80.000 ppl watching and 15 million ppl wish that they were there...

Okay, here goes nerdiness! Tuomas: Dúnadan bard/ranger/scholar (tall and dark and grey-eyed so that's a given) Marco: Rohirric warrior skald (duh) Floor: Rohirric shieldmaiden Emppu and Troy: Hobbit rogue and bard, respectively (Troy perhaps with some stray Dunlending blood) Jukka: Corsair of Umbar (but, you know, a non-villainous one) Tarja: Elf (though very unusually short :p) Anette: Human commoner, perhaps from Bree Kai: Dúnadan warrior/ranger, probably one of the Northern ones.

Emmpu (Guitar) is dwarfed by Floor Jansen. He tosses picks throughout each show-He's a goof ball. We met the band last year in Portland Oregon and got autographs/ free CDs etc..( I got one of Emmpu's picks). We appreciate your promotion of this most excellent band! We do not get music like this in the USA. We also appreciate the quality channel that you have... If you ever get a chance to see them live..,, jump on it! This band does not cut corners. There is ongoing titles for each band member- Some change but Floor is nearly universally considered- Valkyrie, Marco( bass) is considered a Viking, Jukka(drums)- pirate- Emmpu(guitar)- elf, hobbit, dwarf, Tuomas( keys)- Wizzard/ sorcerer ….Thanks again for a quality product!

If you want to do hear a softer song that features Floors beautiful voice...Sleeping Sun (live from Tampere) will do the trick. It's a great song.

plz react to Nightwish - 7 Days To The Wolves (Live at Wembley Arena) u wil love it

Acoustic: The Islander live at Tampere or a song called Edema Ruh live on the Nightwish Cruise.

This one's for Stan: Do Sleeping Sun live at Tampere.

Thank you for the reaction! Brian mentioned once that he's a fan of old Prog rock bands like (Yes, rush, Pink floyd etc.). Nightwish did a cover of Pink Floyd's High hopes (Marco did the vocals) and that was one of the best Pink Floyd cover that I've heard (in my opinion). The guitarist has more time to show his chops in that song too. You should check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atV1d9GHyr-9qYE.html

Nightwish - KISS While your lips are still Red is a nice slow song with Marco as the lead and Floor singing backup. Great reaction fellas! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I heard this song when i was 13 im 27 now. its the best song ever written.

If you listen to NW and dont feel something.. dont smile. cry.. cosebumbs.. then you didnt listen.. Nightwish is emotion.. if you listen you will go on a journey.. Like no other they bring out so much.. just smile.. listening to them makes one feel like .. something only nightwish can give.. there is no words.. I just love Nightwish. I dont see how you cant.. listening to them is always.. always... everything..

After Forever - Monolith of Doubt. Floors first band started when she was 16

I’ve seen Nightwish live 9 times and the band have never been happier and had more fun on stage than with this lineup. I can recommend Creek Mary’s blood live End of an era Helsinki with their first singer Taja Turunen. Acoustic song:The islander live Tampere. I can also recommend the keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen solo song “A lifetime of adventure “ that song will stay in your heads for weeks👍😊 Superthanx for another great reaction video. Stay safe n well😊👍👍👍

Emppu (the guitarist) always plays in service of the composition, just like all the other members. Yes, there are songs where he does longer solos, but there are also a lot of songs where he doesn't do a solo at all.

Remember that this is the first time most of those people ever heard Floor. She was very new to the band. And they all fell in love with her that night.

"First ones to walk this path of night lady in black, lady in white followed by legions of night-time wanderers." For some reason, the question about Nightwish Army made me think of this line. I believe it to be the first reference to it.

I suggest "She is my sin" from Waken 2013.

Floor had many reasons to be extra joyful while singing Ever Dream at Wacken in 2013. She was new in the bend, song was eleven years old, one her favorites and one of Nightwish's biggest hits.

You can see Floor sing straight Opera by a composer named Puccini. Just type that into KZfaq search. It's her pre nightwish and acoustic

Great reaction, once again! Not sure if you already checked Nightwish's version on a Pink Floyd song High Hopes. Marco takes it to another level. Another jewel by Marco; Islander (Live at Tampere).

Do you ever miss any long guitar solos? Nope, he can shred when required, but mostly it is understated and just fits. The other band members have stated they enjoy not having to modulate their playing to be "under" the vocals, she can meet whatever is needed and then some. I prefer the term vocal dragon.

ive only been a nightwish fan for a few year.s but i have not heard a single bad song from them. all their songs are epic. and give me huge FLOORGASMS. LOL

Symphonic metal doesn`t focus on heavy, complicated gitar solos as much as other genres of metal, Its more about the female vocals and the orchestrations. Tuomas pretty much ”invented” this genre, as there weren`t metal bands with operatic vocalists before Nightwish.

You’ve said it looks like they are having fun; amazing when you consider that this is after 100+ shows in their 1.5 year world tour (Imaginaerum, april 2012 until the end of 2013), and they also had to switch singer. It must be joy and dedication, I think.

Believe me none of the other singers have the power of FLOOR period 👩🏻🎤😁👍

Nightwish. The world’s best kept secret. The world’s best band. The world’s nicest bunch of guys & gal.

Okay that was great reaction as always and good analyzing also ;) U are so funny to watch.. brings smile to my face every time! Can’t wait the next and thanks for coming back to Nightwish.

Was waiting for this one u lovelies and can’t describe how thankful I am. Nice to see u doing Nightwish!!

Floor is always always like "oh you think that was good? you ain't seen shit yet" every time you think you've seen her peak she soars past that.

"The beauty and the beast" with Tarja. "The phantom of the opera" and "wishmaster" too. I can tell you, if you are stuned with Floor, you will be astonisinhed with Tarja

You should also react to Nightwish with its first singer Tarja Turunen, she is also amazing. I recommend the song Phantom of the opera (end of an era concert)

This modulation at the end is crazy. She pushes her voice up so effortlessly.

Every time I watch this video I keep expecting her voice to crack or the range to become painful to listen to, but her control and pitch continue to amaze me and never lets me down.

Nightwish are always so happy onstage and Floor is a huge part of that,. With their previous singers there was a lot of drama. With Floor she is note-perfect every night and doesn't have any sort of diva ego.

Nightwish's cover for a Heart song called "Alone" showcases Floors vocal range in a pretty mellow way. You could give that one a listen and for a celtic flavor try My Walden. Entertaining reaction men, carry on. OK found a Floor exclusive called Floor Jansen - Vilja lied | Beste Zangers. It's opera and it's stunning.

FYI Floor is now in a Dutch tv show called "Beste Zangers" (Best vocalists). The program consists of 7 vocalists in total. Every week one person is the guest of honor and the other vocalist will sing a cover or a song that the person has a special connection with. This week the guest was Henk Poort a very famous Dutch musical and opera singer. Floor of-course put on her opera voice with a little bit of symphonic metal twist. :-) here is the clip. @

Floor rules. The ultimate Nordic Viking angel goddess soprano.

Yes. Acoustic is The Islander sung my Marco live at Tampere

This song was used in the film AVATAR if you look up Jankler tv you will see all the film's that have used their songs. Smurfs used the song ELAN. SO you were closer than you thought with middle earth.

Try Phantom of the Opera where you can see two brilliant vocalists. Marco and Tarja (pronounced Tarya) Not many people reacting to Nightwish realise that with Floor the band seems to be a happy band, they all look happy especially Tuomas which is exactly what you want in a band

Yeah you guys really are awesome!

Ya thanks guys missed u😭! and sleeping sun (tampere 2015) is the song u are maybe looking for!

4:18 of course Floor loves her "job", she lives for this, performing the music she loves.. This is a perfect example of insane talent meeting passion, the result is amazing.. She could probably have been an amazing opera singer, but she followed her heart..

Thanks you guys are great and I love you!

Cool! You reacted to ever dream! I love this song! I asked many times.

You guys are so much fun 😂 and it is so nice that someone notices how great Emppu(the guitarist) is. Just talent as a part of the band and dedication to make the story of the song great. They now have such a good chemistry together.

Everytime I heard that song I always hold my breath when she sing with those high notes.. I suggest "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere for your next Nightwish reaction.

Love you guys's reactions. Your friendship is great....two of the most likeable characters in reaction-world! OK, I'm a nerd so I'll answer the character question. It's been around for a long time thanks to, originally, a webzine reviewer who coined the characters. They've varied a little bit over time, but most fans seem to have settled on the following setlist: Only Empuu is a Middle Earth character. Most people refer to him as "The Hobbitt" or some say "The Elf" instead. Marco is definitely "The Viking." There's pretty much universal agreement on that one. Tuomas is "Captain Jack Sparrow" or "The Pirate Captain." Some prefer "The Ringmaster." This drummer, Jukka, is universally called "The Pirate Bandit." Jukka is permanently retired due to a medical condition, and his replacement, Kai (pronounced kye), has belatedly been called "The Pirate Oarsman" although I don't think he actually has a solid character name yet that is widely accepted. New member Troy is referred to as "The Minstrel." And now to the singers! The first singer, Tarja, is called either, "The Angel" or "The Siren." The second singer, Annette, is often called "The Wicked Witch," not as an insult but (I think) related to the character she played in a few videos from the Imaginarium album and in the associated movie as well. And Floor, of course, is our beloved "Amazon Warrior Goddess!"

Jukka the drummer (The Pirate), Tuomas the keyboardist (the Magician or RingMaster), Marco the bassist (The Viking), Emppu the guitarist (The Hobbit), and of course Floor the Valkyrie Queen! That last chorus is BREATHTAKING! Check this out. Not acoustic, but some great heavy opera by Floor doing a Finnish traditional Christmas song "Oi Jouluyö". Translates as O Christmas Night. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rr6Ana99y6mue6c.html The sexy Floor. Like a nightclub singer "Slow Love Slow" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7qaeMmAz63Ik3k.html

New Jinjer, Judgment and Punishment. Gooooooo!!!!!!!

You 2 are hilarious 😂😂. If want to do more of Epica. Try the song"Feint" . A beautiful ballad about the assassination of a Dutch politcian and the aftereffects on society.

Stan awesome shirt my man!!! Yes even people from Kentucky love Nightwish.

Since floor came they found themselves and so enjoy themselves loved Tarja as singer but love them now they are so happy and it shows in the music :--)

For "the other chick", Tarja, her Ever Dream from End of an Era DVD is my personal favourite of all renditions of the song. It highlights the difference of vocals with Floor really well and it was the last gig with her in the band as well.

I saw them for the first time in about 2000 with Tarja and it was great and all,but she imo didn't have the crowd in the palm of her hand. Seen them 5 times with Floor and the way she commands the stage and crowd with little gestures is just something else. All you can do is watch and listen how good they are playing together as a group. From videos you can get maybe 40 % of the atmosphere they create.

The Islander from Tampere 2015...Another side of Nightwish. :-D

marco says in an interview :with tarja and anette he was always affraid of overpowering the voice of the lead singer but with floor he says he dont have any problem, its impossible overpower floor's voice .

THANK YOU!!!

Damn, you two are fun to watch XD If you want acoustic, softer stuff, I'd suggest my favorites, Sleeping Sun (Floor) and The Islander (Marko), both at Tampere. Top notch stuff, really.

You guys always make me smile when watching Nightwish : ) . Please check out their first singer Tarja with" Phantom of the opera"

How I view the band in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) terms: Tuomas: Human bard: Because his music enthralls people Marko: Human fighter: His axe slays the doubters Emppu: Dwarf rogue: Because he's a charismatic, goofy guy Troy: Dwarf druid: His pipes evoke the Celtic forest Jukka: Human Rogue: Because rogues are pirates Floor: Half-Celestial, Half-Elven Siren: Because her voice just pulls you in, and she has a divine presence -- you're just awed by being near her. Why do I say this? Because I am that much of a nerd, lol.

Floor Jansen not only has an amazing voice, she is also a vocal coach. So yeah, she always sounds amazing because she's always in control and knows when and how to breath and sound perfect. She makes it look easy but what she does on stage is extremely difficult. I'm not an expert, but watch any "vocal coach reacts to nightwish" video if you want more technical details about what she does with her voice.

Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum (Live At Wembley 2016). You still have not heard Floors true soft voice. It will melt your heart. But it is really important thing to read what is that song all about before listening.

PS. If you don't remember the band members, you can always go back to your 1st reaction to Nighwish - Ghost Love Score. Search Ann Waychoff: She's a revered elderly lady in her pensioneer years, who nicely provides the basic info for any new Nightwish reactors whose reaction she finds. Ann shared it for you guys too - just saw it. I see her as being chosen by the fans to be the respected honorary spokes person of the Nightwish fan club. Whichever is the official name of the pack, flock, pride, gang, fellowship, posse, ship, well, army, firm, union... I don't always want to watch 1st people react to that GLS, because it's normally the 1st song people react to - i's sometimes a bit boring :) It's not about the song, but even a good song wears out if listened to all day every day. First day I can understand if somebody is hooked for hours. But the next day at least people better remember to eat and sleep occasionally. Admittedly it's a good way to come in to the Nightwish world: many concider it among the best 3 of their songs 'the 3 epics'. The other 2 are longer (Poet & the Pendulum + The Greatest Show on Earth).

I have NEVER thought that. BUT. Floor Jansen - Rohirrim. Marco Hietala - Dwarf Emppu Vuorinen - Gondorian Jukka Nevalainen - I guess Hobbit? Tuomas Holopainen - High Elf

Marco is a Dwarf, one of the Durins Tuomas is a wizard, probably one of the missing blue wizards (we found one!) Floor is one of the Valar, who came with the wizards to Middle-earth to ignite the hearts of the Free Peoples. Jukka is one of the Corsairs of Umbar Emppu is the chief Hobbit, the Thain of the Shire Troy is one of the elvish musicians, who charms anyone within earshot

I think that's exactly Floor: humble, but she knows that she is an extremely talented and skilful badass. And not just her but the entire band is so comfortable with their fantastic musicianship. Great reaction again! Oh and you're so right!! Tuomas: keyboard wizard Emppu: guitar hobbit Marko: bass druid Troy: flutist minstrel Kai: drums ogre (sorry Kai!!) Floor: vocal goddess/valkyrie. You're really picking up on the Nightwish community! Another edit: Floor did a song recently in a tv show De Beste Zangers called "Vilja song". I'd be very interested in that reaction.

The islander at Tampere ^_^ please and thank you!! This was my favorite video by you guys so far btw

Check out Sleeping Sun Live Tampere 2015

Sabaton..floors hubby drums....also floor in Northward

Sometimes they call Emppuu "The Hobbit Guy". ;) And Tuomas is " Jack Sparrow" and Marko is sometimes called "The Viking", but to do your middle earth reverences he's maybe an Rohirim (don't know how it is called in englisch ... I'm from Germany). ;)

U should try SABATON but keep going with NIGHTWISH :) Floor is ours queen!

Nice reaction ! I like this song. Yes, think about this, Wacken concert was about 1½h, and they continue like this whole show. That energy, those songs (no bad songs at all)... Lord of The Rings. BWT, for Tuomas it is his favorite book. He said in one interview that he reads it every second year. And, when reading, he hears that story as a music in his head... So, definitely he is in that book!

Tuomas (composer/keys) - Black magician Marco(bass) - viking Emppu (guitar) - halfling Troy (multi instrumentalist) - hobbit Jukka(old drummer) - pirate Kai (new drummer) - giant Floor (vocals duh)- Valkerie / goddess

I now strongly feel Stan would love My Walden, after a mention of enjoying the Celtic sounds in some songs and having already recognized Troy's immense instrumental contributions. He is often missed as a tertiary vocalist and that song gives him a spotlight.

When and if checking vocalists before Floor, and what comes to Tarja, my strongly recommend is "I wish I have an angel" (Live end of era). That song was gate to to music of Nightwish (Also Marko sings on that).

Exclusive Classical Opera is very beautiful Marco Hietala & Floor Jansen - Ave Maria

Ok , check out Elven path, one of the earlier nightwish songs with Tarja, it is about Lord of the Rings, and finally, I am looking forward to Sabaton, they have a US tour this fall, Tarja was more classically trained and the voice is "darker" Annette was "more Pop music and a "bright" Floor, right in the middle, Marco, the bassist sings the Inlander, and they cover pink Floyds "high hopes"

U guys are awesome 😎 Floor's old band's revamp with wild card, and After forever with Dreamflight, is an absolute experience🥰🥰 Nightwish acoustic with Heart's song alone, is a good one😎😃

Love the shirt! Go Cats!

Emppu is the sole guitarist in a Metalnband, most have 2 or sometimes even 3, Acoustic, On board the Baltic Princess, Phone recordings of the mattinee 👀👍

Oh yes, as you said, she enjoys (they enjoy actually...) being on stage and doing her wonderful stuff. You can just have a peek at this little video (not react, just watch for yourselves), where she explains 3,5 years after she joined the band, how deeply she loves and thanks these guys. (Especially knowing how it happenend at that time...) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM6ml92SuLO2poU.html

They made acoustic versions of "How's the heart" from their latest album en "Nemo" a song from an album with Tarja as a vocalist.

Sleeping Sun, Nightwish, Tampere Finland 2015💙

Great reaction guys! 🤘🤘 If you want some Nightwish with Tarja, try Phantom of the Opera, freaking epic!

Awesome. Always fun watching Nightwish. Great video... How about reacting to 'Glory Hole' by Steel Panther? (... no peaking early ;)

Great reaction,would you play their Pink Floyd cover High Hopes sung by Marco

For an acoustic song, checkout The Islander live at Tampere!!

Nerdiot? That was cool!!! :)))

hey brian nothing nerdy about having a vivid imagination,its a sign of creativity...and honestly they just ooze out that fantasy midieval times mojo...just shows they are doing their job right if the music sparks your fantasy...but since you ask and without giving it to much thought... floor would be a nordic warrior woman... marco the magician... troy the bard or a druid... tuomas king of the dark elves... emppu the dwarf... jukka a swashbuckler...and kai(jukkas replacement since 2014 & also drummer for wintersun) a ork...but no lies, if they gave a concert at a LARP meeting or fantasy fest somewhere in my neck of the woods i´d be the first to geek out and buy a plastic sword and one of those pink air guitars in the next best toy store and get a larping and a rockin son! lol! peace,love and happieness everyone!

Well, the drummer of Sabaton, Hannes van Dahl is the fiancé of Floor Jansen. And the father of their lovely baby girl. :)

They've well and truly been Floorgasm'd!!!! 😊👌

Great reaction guys! Alpenglow live at wembley next.
