You can't close the door on metal maiden Monday or Nightwish until you've done the Greatest show on earth live from Tampere!!!

This song was on the album 'Once' which indeed was the Tarja era. This album contained many amazing songs such as Ghost Love Score, Wish I Had An Angel, Nemo, Dark Chest of Wonders and more. It was released Jan 5th 2004. Nightwish is def a Symphonic Metal band but they incorporate all aspects. They can do soft, or bring the harder aspects of heavy metal. They're super diverse. Theres nothing they cant do.

You want heavy? Yours is an empty hope. Check it out.

The drummer you saw in Poet And The Pendulum is Kai Hahto (former member of Wintersun). Nightwish just announced today that Kai is going to be their drummer in the future aswell. Speaking of Wintersun, you really should react to that epic band. My suggestion would be Time live at Sonic Pump Studios.

The drummer from Wacken was Jukka Nevalainen, who is staying in an administrative position with Nightwish. The drummer from Wembley was Kai Hahto, filling in for Jukka (and now a full-time permanent member, as of today). He is also the drummer for Wintersun, though after today's announcement, I don't know if that will continue.

Nightwish had to change drummers after the 2013 tour due to Jukka Nevalainen's (the original drummer through 2013) health issues -- since 2013 Kai Hahto has been their drummer (that's who you saw on the video for "The Poet and the Pendulum").

THX. For You two...What a pleasure to watch that Nightwish torch going from genereation to another...❤

For more harder Nightwish check out "Yours is an empty hope" from the Nightwish Cruise, and Ghost River (Wacken 2013), also shows a little more of what Floor can do with her voice ;) Thank you for another great reaction, looking forward to the next one :)

I would suggest "Yours is an Empty Hope" . You will get to hear some more of Floor's range.....

You need to react to Nightwish cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" Marco is amazing

You guys should also react to "I Want My Tears Back" by Nightwish also from the Wakken 2013 show. It has more Marco vocals and great chemistry between him and Floor.

Love your reactions. Also the combination of your styles: Chuck thinking out loud and keeping the conversation going, and Juliette always thinking things through before she speaks and being spot on. Great combo. Will watch even more.

The drummer here is Jukka, but she had to leave the band for health problems (imsomnia) and was replaced by Kai Hahto. Jukka is still in the band in charge of business and stuff like that, but since TODAY Kai is the official drummer. This song is from Tarja era (2004). And if you know heavy things listen to Master Passion Greed (great Marco's vocals) or Yours is an Empty Hope, for example.

You probably should do "song of myself" from Wacken 2013 just to finish this little series off. Another slightly different style. Think you'll like it.

This is also one of the now former drummer Jukka's final big shows with the band due to dealing with severe issues with debilitating insomnia. The band just released a press release TODAY (7-15-19) that the drummer from Wintersun that has been filling in for him ever since is now the PERMANENT drummer for Nightwish. Jukka will still stay heavily involved running the more mundane day to day business of the band behind the scenes.

I am German. You pronounced Wacken absolutely right.

Nightwish have a wide variety of metal styles. They go everything from soft and heavy ballads, musical theater, folk metal, metal-opera etc. Toumas never really dedicated himself to a certain style of metal, he also admits that the operatic style of Tarja wasn't his original plan but he made it work. Dark passion play and imaginaerum albums are acctually quite heavy when it comes to Nightwish, written with the 2nd singer Anette in mind. Anette had more of a pop/rock/Jazz tone to her voice which called for a full on style change. However this was also due to the state of mind of Toumas, since he had been feeling really bad since they seperated from Tarja. When they released the last album you could really notice that Toumas had become happier, since most of the tracks are really uplifting and happy, compared to the previous two albums more gloomy wibe. Endless forms most Beautiful, are really living up to it's name since most of the songs are really beautiful and focus on appreciation of life, evolution and living your life as you want to. Even the heavier tracks on that album are just a big smile fiesta. Floor's growlings in Yours an empty hope, the use of aucustic instruments in Weak fantasy etc. Toumas are also a great fan of Zimmer, hence he really enjoy to make Nightwish sound a bit like a movie track from time to time. If I whould describe Nightwish in just one phrase I whould say "A dark chest of wonders".

Symphonic Metal is Metal, period. And this is the same drummer as in "Ghost Love Score," Jukka. It's from that same concert in Wacken.

For under cover Pink Floyd/Nightwish - High Hopes for sure is a must have!

In this concert it is still Jukka on the the drums.. In 2014 Kai joined because of insomnia problems Jukka had.. By coincidence Nightwish stated today Jukka will not return and Kai will stay on full time.

Wintersun - Wintersun (2004) Wintersun - Time 1 (2012) Wintersun - The Forest Season (2017)

This is the same drummer (Jukka Nevalainen) that you saw on Ghost Love Score. The songs were same concert, same evening, only about 20 minutes apart. This drummer (about 42-ish) is the one who took a medical leave of absence. The drummer on Poet & the Pendulum was his friend, Kai Hahto (formerly of Wintersun) who he asked to fill in for him as understudy. They are roughly the same age. Coincidentally, Jukka just made it official in a press release this morning that he is retiring from the drumkit permanently and will NOT be returning to the stage with Nightwish. Kai is now his permanent replacement. Jukka, however, is still working for Nightwish in a stay-at-home, senior management position so that he can attend only to business related matters, spend more time with his wife and children, and better manage his medical issue. We will miss him sadly. He was a great showman behind the drumskins in addition to being a great drummer.

at the end, in harmony with Marko, she went to a D6 note & ended with a banshee wail. what a woman. btw: doing a great job!

I was at the show Annete was sick at. Elize Ryd did an amazing job. Her main band is Amaranthe.

Last Ride Of The Day She Is My Sin I Want My Tears Back All from the same Nightwish concert live at Wacken 2013. Great songs.

Yeah, Elize Ryd (

It’s official y’all, Kai Hoto, the former drummer for Wintersun, is now the full time drummer Nightwish.

the drummer in the song poet and the pendulum is another one. the original drummer suffered from insomnia, so he had to step down, he still has a big part of the band behind the scenes tho. he recomended this drummer and he is amazing, check him out in the poet and the pendulum, and the greatest show on earth..

*"Romanticide" is like "Ghost Love Score" from the album "ONCE" [released on June 5th, 2004] . It is the last studio-album with Tarja. It contains with "Dark Chest Of Wonders", "Wish I Had An Angel" and "Nemo" the best album-start beside "Dark Passion Play" [released in 2007] ("The Poet And The Pendulum", "Bye-Bye Beautiful" and "Amaranth").*

This concert has Jukka Nevalainen on drums and the Poet and the Pendulum show has Kai Hahto from the band Wintersun. In 2014, Jukka couldn't tour anymore from complications with insomnia.

This drummer transitioned temporarily to administrative duties due to severe insomnia, and today they announced that he is doing great, but doesn't want to push his luck by returning to the band. So they announced that the change will be permanent. He will still continue handling the business side of Nightwish and be a part of the band in that way, a role he seems to be enjoying. Also the new drummer is a good friend of his, so there is no bad blood or drama there (like with Anette and Tarja)

'Yours is an empty hope' the heavyest Song from Nightwish for me

First off, i am german and i must say, your pronounciation of "Wacken" was really good. Absolutely no complaints about that. And as always, great reaction video, keep it up. You two are cool.

This is from same album as Ghost love. 2004 Once

You still need to react to Storytime and I want my tears back live from Wacken !

this is incredible, I really really like this

I’m so floored for this video!😂

Suggestions for Metal Maiden Mondays : Delain - Fronted by Charlotte Wessels Within Temptation - Fronted by Sharon den Adel

The original drummer, this one, had to take a leave to start treatments for extremely serious case of insomnia (sometimes even 5-7 days without sleeping). Older guy came from Wintersun. All songs on Wacken 2013 are either from Tarja era or Anette era. First studio album with Floor came two years after. Out of eight studio albums, five were with Tarja, two with Anette and Floor is only on the last one they made.

Welcome to the Nightwish Train. My suggestion for the versatility of this band would be "Amaranth" also from Wacken 2013, The Greatest Show on Earth, and "The Poet and the Pendulum. Thats all very Great Songs.

One of the very few reactions to this song. Basically, this is one of the heaviest Nightwish sonds. And this is epic as hell. It deserves more videos! Thanks.

Hahaha.. Thts funny, the ASmR intro. Waken = Voken (Germany) Romanticide displaying great showmanship of the band in a single song > angelic valkyrie > awesome guitar solo > dramatic drum solo > powerful backing vocal > good song composition Like ur reaction video, thumbsup 👍👍👍

The metal sound you speak of is the "crunch" the heavier the sound the crunchier 🤘

The Drummer from this show had health issues and stepped down, the drummer on Poet at Wembley was the current drummer.

This is from Once 2004. This song is right before Ghost Love Score on the album. Tarja was the vocalist. End of an Era is her final concert with Nightwish and has some of their best performances on it.

This will be interesting to see. It's my favorite song by Nightwish. They cut to the cheese right away and play good music and sing duo perfectly. It doesn't showcase Floor as in Ghost Love Score but she good just the same.

By the way, the drummer in the video just announced his retirement. Jukka suffered insomnia while touring, and has been working for the band "behind the curtains" for the last 5 years. He'll stay on behind the scenes, but his unique drumming will be missed.

Battle Beast for the metal Maiden Monday

For future Metal Maiden Monday, Lita Ford is a must do.

Epica - Consign to Oblivion (Live at Zenith) PLEASE!!!

A great reaction. I like the audience's impressions.This certainly works as a empowering song for someone. So I think at least. The dialogue between Marco and Floor is brilliant.

You are an amazing father and daughter. I love Juliette's comments, she's always so perceptive and spot on.

If you are interested in exploring Nightwish, the history, here is a list of four great songs: High hopes, a pink floyd cover where Marco shines; Phantom of the Opera, which has Tarja at her best; Shudder before the beautiful from wembley which shows their incredible energy level with Floor; and The Greatest Show on Earth which is their highest artistic achievement. As a bootleg bonus, try 10th man down, edited by metalwish, which nicely shows off the hard rock quality of present day Nightwish on ˋ a regular day at work‘ from a viewer perspective.

Great reaction! I like your hair up Juliet, and Chuck nice hat! (I'm from Boston) :)

Was not prepared for the ASMR intro xD haha

If you want to hear Floor growl, she did a guest performance on Soilwork - Let this river flow live from Helsinki. She's amazing !!

Romanticide was on the 'Once' album form 2004; the same album has the studio version of 'Ghost Love Score'

Have a check out of Nightwish live at Tempere, "The greatest show on earth". Its 20 minutes long but its worth every moment!

Nice reaction!!! Love Nightwish!

I don’t have much to recommend but I love your reactions and commentary!!!

I think I've seen the documentary you spoke of. Need to look it up and watch again. Being a native speaker of Finnish I don't need the subtitles. Just found your channel today. Immediately had the urge to sub.

you guys can go a long time without blinking at times damn

No idea how this happened but suddenly today our The Poet and the Pendulum got unblocked! Hooray! Check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJOEiqmmuqjQgps.html

This performance is incredible! It really showcases the heavy side of Nightwish and like Juliet said, it also showcases what Floor can do with her voice. Y'all should check out The Siren from Nightwish's End of an Era show. It has Tarja singing and this is probably my favorite song with her in the band. I think you'll like it!

However, if you want to listen more of the heavy side of Nightwish, you MUST listen "Slaying the dreamer", "Yours is an Empty Hope" (Floor is growling there), "Weak Fantasy" at Tampere; and the HEAVIEST song (by far) of Nightwish and one of my favorites: "MASTER PASSION GREED"

it's the same drummer as Ghost Love Score, but they changed drummers and I believe the new drummer is in The Poet and the Pendulum video.

You're launching this video at the same day Nightwish sent a message about Jukka Nevalainen (the drummer in this song and all the history of Nightwish), who left the band because he was sick. Today Nightwish announced that Kai Hahto is the new official drummer 😓.

The album was entitled ONCE from 2004

She has her own headbang name: The Windmill : And she is from The Netherlands. How fun is that :) And if you wanna see her growl look at Yours is an empty hope

I wish I had an angel with Tarja live is a must too!

Nice hat dude, go Sawks! Welcome to Nightwish!

To hear how really great a voice Marco has, check out "The Islander" live from Tampere 2015. It's actually a folk type ballad that he wrote way back when, but really showcases what would be his more natural and very impressive voice. Floor provides beautiful back up on that one. And enjoy a sample of a lilting ballad from Floor from the same concert: "Sleeping Sun". (BTW, gotta ditch the Redsox hat! :-)

Please check out yours is an empty hope by nightwish marco takes lead vocals and floor does screams.

BAND-MAID PLAY LIVE

Try I Want My Tears Back (Live From Buenos Aires 2018) shes´s dancing and jumping on the stage

You REALLY need to find a copy of the Blu-Ray 'Showtime / Storytime'. It's LITERALLY this show filmed in all it's glory and was an absolute 'watershed moment in metal history'. It has the documentary 'Please learn the entire setlist in 48 hours' which gives a damn near blow by blow account of Floor joining Nightwish and Annette being given her pinkslip.

Yours is an empty hope guys. She growls! it's awesome

All the music is pre Floor, she joined the band at Wacken 2013 and is said she had 36 hrs. to learn and get ready for this show!

You two should try check out "Nightwish - The Islander (Live At Tampere)", gives a good idea how he sounds like. :)

Saw the book Genes in your shelf behind your. Genes, DNA, evolution, science - there’s the theme for you guys to react with The Greatest Show On Earth, the Tampere live version. Tuomas, the Metal Mozart has composed a masterpiece, can you pick those few sound bites of other composers hidden into the song? Oh, you asked for older production. Nemo song by their first singer Tarja was really nice back in the days when I was younger. :)

The drummer on Poet and the Pendulum that you saw was new he replaced Jukka who’s the drummer here.

hahahahh asmr always welcome before and after metal or rock

This show was almost11 months into Floor's era with Nightwish. Part of the reason for the crowds amped up reaction is due to their touring schedule, most of Europe had not seen her yet, her intro to their European fan base so to speak.

i recommend yours is an empty hope @wembley ! and floor's growls are so cool in that!

Coincidence. Jukka announced today that he will leave the band permanently and Kai will become a permanent member of the band after replacing Jukka for 5 years now.

If you love Floor (as all we do), you should listen some of her other bands: ReVamp - where she really did experimented on all types of singing and did a great job and I personally loved. Northward - this is a side project she had on hiatus and finally on 2018 saw the light to the world and is so different to any other stuff Floor has done but it is impressive how she sounds so comfortable doing it. After Forever is where she started, and it has a nostalgic value for me as I followed them since their first full album and I liked Floor since, but you can listen to them in your free time and not for a video to see the road Floor has traveled to become the goddess she is now. keep doing this awesome reactions to great music, we love to see how people react to our favorite music! \m/,

This wasnt the first solo you heard ;) You had a guitar solo in Ghost Love Score aswell (right before the pause/intermission section of the song)

this was in Tarja era album Once from 2004

Ghost river from Wacken is epic 🤘

This song is from the Tarja era of the band. The album is called Once. Ghost love score is from this same album.

Excellent video! Glad you like this song. One of my favorites from Nightwish. If you liked Marco's vocals, you should check out some stuff from the solo album he recently released. My suggestion is the music video for Isäni ääni on Marco's official YT page.

you guys should check out Nightwish's Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean live in Buenos Aires

Whenever you decide to do METAL MAIDEN MONDAYS ..YOU HAVE TO REACT TO ..LACUNA COIL , BLOOD TEARS DUST ......OR react to it anytime for that matter

one NightWish song i would like to see someone do a reaction to, is "Passion and the Opera", it's one of my all time favorite nightwish songs and the song that got me into NightWish in the first place when someone suggested it on Napster (christ that's going back some)

You should definetely check out "While your lips are still red" by Nightwish as well!

Romanticide is from last album with Tarja (Once, 2004).

From the album "Once" Tarja Era

"Yours Is An Empty Hope".........from the Nightwish cruise.

I watched your The Poet and the Pendulum about an hour ago seems great to me

in 2016 was a different drummer why Jukka Nevalainen hat medical issues (Burn out) , so the got a other drummer, Kai Hahto from the Band Wintersun
