Of course I'm here! :) Thank you for a nice shout-out, but especially for deciding to continue exploring this true musical universe created by Nightwish. It's an outpouring of creativity and professional interpretation of all the band members, in a very diverse stylistic repertoire, and your comments on the subject have convinced me that you see and appreciate all these elements, so I hope with all my heart that you will continue the exploration. Of course, you have a new subscriber here. Know that the list of songs is not a rigid path to follow, but only proof that you have many options of good audio and video quality. With certainty, the band's fans will come up with recommendations in the comments, some of them more appropriate than my suggestions. All the best, from Romania!

About Tuomas. He ’s pretty dedicated because he IS Nightwish. 😊 The one who had the idea of Nightwish and the main song writer.

You can’t go wrong with any song from the 2013 Wacken performance

The man with the hat who is not clapping is a time traveller from the year 2347. He was transported to a Bob Dylan concert in 1970, but came by mistake in this concert and he his thinking wtf am i doing here😁

Toumas is the Spine of this band. Writes and orchestrates it all and Floor is a generational talent that he finally got to perform his music. So now it's perfect......exept for the fact that we are missing Marco now.

You are right Floor is the best singer. Tuomas is the mastermind behind this band he started it with Tarja and Emppu, the lead guitarist, there was a, different bass player when he left we got Marko who is so right for the band, he sings so well with Floor. Emppu is always walking around being naughty. Shout out to the beautiful dog that one of you has, Soz don't know your names, my dogs asleep on the bed it's 2.30 am uk time. Great reaction, see you for the next one 😊🇬🇧

Storytime is part of the album and film music Imaginaerum. The album and film scenes were recorded with the second singer Anette. The film premiere took place shortly after the quarrel with her. Instead of Anette, the temp Floor sits in the first row. The song describes the main character. A composer who creates new musical worlds regardless of his surroundings. Hence the comparison to Peter Pan. This is one of drummer Jukka Nevalainen's last concerts. Shortly after starting the recordings for the next album, he had to give up due to chronic insomnia. He asks his friend Kai Hahto to stand in for him. Today he works in the management of the band. The piano player is the mastermind of the band. He's not a dictator, but he makes the sound and ultimately decides what happens to the band. He said several times that if Floor leaves, he will break up the band. Floor is irreplaceable for him.

More Nightwish!! Floor is amazing as is the entire band. So much more to explore.

Greetings. The drummer's name is pronounced like "hookah" but with a Y. When it comes to names in Scandinavia, keep that same sound for the letter J in ALL names. For example, Floor's daughter's name is spelled Freja but is pronounced (Fre) like in fresh, and (ya). So, (fre•ya) Same with Tarja (Tar•ya). I hope that makes it easier as many have had no idea they pronounce Floor's last name (Jansen) wrong. So Storytime.... This song always hits me in the feels and I don't know why. It's just such a great composition, beautiful lyrics, and if the song itself isn't enough, the crowd is happy, the band is happy, the atmosphere in that venue is absolutely electric with joy and Floor's performance made it her own. Speaking of which.... Don't run each other over trying to download the songs from this concert. As epic as this live performance was, in front of an unsuspecting 82K+ crowd, NONE of the songs performed here were recorded with Floor in the studio. This was towards the end of their Imaginaerum World Tour and the band made a decision in late September 2012 that left them without a singer when they fired Anette Olzon (2007-2012). So they called on the services of ReVamp singer Floor Jansen. 8 months later, in June 2013, she was made permanent along with multi instrumentalist, Troy Donockley (UK). You'll know Troy when you see him as he's rarely onstage but he is part of the backbone of this band just the same. This show came 10 months after Floor's 1st performance with the band. Floor's first studio album with Nightwish came in 2014. Unfortunately, that same year, Jukka's battle with insomnia caught up to him and forced him to quit playing drums. He called on his good friend and WinterSun drummer, Kai Hahto, to record the drum tracks and tour with the band. Kai became permanent in 2019. Floor's obligations and success with Nightwish forced her to disband ReVamp in 2016. That's all for today but "Storytime" will continue. 😂 Thank you all for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

Great reaction guys. Floor's epic hair spins are called windmills because after all, she is Dutch. The guy in the cowboy hat and hawaian shirt not clapping is known as the time traveler in the Nightwish Army. He has been dropped from the future into the concert audience and is quietly observing the crazy crowd.

Floor is amazing. And thank you guys for this great reaction to our beloved Nightwish. Wonderful reaction. Floor is perfect. Thank you.

he boys🤘 .. enjoy... there talent... Nightwish is one of the best live bands🥳 I have ever her 👌.. always different and never Boring .. so enjoy en be a Fan .. so simple.. Greetings from Amsterdam✌

Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you witnessed first hand a "Dutch Windmill" , and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bullwhip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉. And the drummer: Jukka "The Pirate" Nevalainen is the former drummer in the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish (left for health reasons, but is still a member behind the scenes). He Is famous among Nightwish fans for wearing a bandana on his head, even during shows, his energetic drumming style, and for his spinning of his drumsticks. Joined Nightwish at the age of 17. Also The BASS Player: Marko Hietala "The Viking" is a Finnish heavy metal vocalist, bassist and songwriter (ex-NIghtwish). Internationally, best known as the former bassist, male vocalist and secondary composer to Tuomas Holopainen, of the symphonic metal band Nightwish. He was also the vocalist and bassist as well as composer and lyricist for the heavy metal band Tarot. He was also a member of the supergroup Northern Kings, and portrayed one of the main characters in Ayreon's 2013 album The Theory of Everything. Awesome tune , although it is kind of a popish sound (originally sung by Anette, the second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Including this "Operatic" part, what was originally done by children's choir because vocal limitations on their second singer (Great singer also, I might add), but Floor has none of that "Limit". Nightwish lyrics are often a bit interpretive, and not as "straightforward" as many other bands, because Tuomas ( The Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen: founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish.) prefers people to put their own interpretations and life experiences into the lyrics. you connect with songs on a personal level when there is something there that relates to things you have gone/are going through, and you may even find new connections later on in life when you have gone through other big events/emotions. there might be songs you are quite indifferent about (oh, nice song) and then you go through something big and all of a sudden it makes you break down in tears because now you relate to something in the lyrics you didn't before, and see it from a whole new perspective. imagination and life experiences are powerful, and Tuomas has great appreciation of this. Also there is a saying: Tarja Turunen (operatic style). Anette Olzon (Pop/Rock style) Floor Jansen (YES...). Let's see is there more coming.... NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

You still haven't heard everything that Floor can do. She was in in two previous bands After Forever and ReVamp where you get to hear her growl too. Plus another project called Northward and guesting with Ayreon, Star One, Soilwork, Evergrey, Avantasia, Mayan and just released a much more mellow solo album called Paragon.

Wacken 2013 is the best concert I have ever seen even from a YT video, I have been to about 100 live shows many of the greats but this is LEGENDARY ! every song is GOLD,you have not seen anything yet guys, Floor has so much more to blow your minds, Tuomas (keys) is the song writer and composer ,he is the Maestro of NW.

Next stop on the list is Romanticide also from the Wacken show. A real banger! I hope to see you reaction on that song pop up real sooooon!!

Very nice reaction. It's funny to hear someone ask if they have a dedicated keyboard player considering that Nightwish is his brainchild and he is the composer who writes about 95% of the music. 😂 You're absolutely right that they hit the jackpot with Floor, she is the best of many worlds, you haven't seen even half she is capable of. You're also right that they are amazing live. I have seen them a number of times and every concert has me high wired for days.🖤🤘🏼

Those drums and her voice combined in the middel are just amazing

Great reaction guys. Floor has an amazing stage presence. You just can't take your eyes off her. - More Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen please.

The drummer is Jukka Nevalainen in this concert (the original drummer). Jukka, (pronounced Yukka) left the band from playing and touring due to sever insomnia for many years. He is replaced by the amazing Kai Hahto from Wintersun. The Human Metronome. Kai was also Jukka's mentor for many years.

Nightwish Army Division of the Netherlands home soil of Floor Jansen and other fantastic metal singers. Fantastic that we have more people on this journey of our Nightwish train

YES! MORE NIGHTWISH PLEASE! Nightwish army west germany coming in, hi guys! 🙋🏼‍♀️ nice reaction, you can not pic a bad NW song so just enjoy the journey down this rabbit hole . I came accross NW by accident a year ago and they was no day without hearing NW since then. Saw them live in June and it was truly wonderful. I recomment to react to "7 days to the wolves" live at Wembley, because it is mindblowing (Floor finding he inner wolf and the sexiest little guitar solo from Empuu) . But have in mind to do live performances every time, because this band is live just exceptional.

Going with Gabriel's list is never a mistake \m/

Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Jukka Nevalainen was the drummer here. Pronounced YOO-kuh. Floor is the best. She is currently nearly 9 months pregnant with her second child, and was touring with Nightwish through June. After some maternity leave, she will record the vocals for the next Nightwish album, being recorded now.

Yeah, more Nightwish pls :D This was fun to watch!

Everyone plays and sings what the song needs, nothing more, nothing less...

Floor is an amazing charismatic vocalist/ story teller, no auto tune ,no pitch correction 🤘🤘

NW - always out of this world 😀. I really can't wait until you are reacting to songs Tuomas has composed for Floor! This was originally the Imaginarium Tour with Anett, so all the songs have been composed for Tarja or Anett. To get an idea of Floor doing Floor things try "Seven Days of the Wolves" Wembley live, "Yours is an empty hope" live from Wembley or "Weak Fantasy" live from Tampere. And at the end you must have seen the Top-5 (if there is one *lol*) songs of all time 😜. "GLS" (you already did), "The Greatest Show on Earth" live from Tampere (THE masterpiece), "The Poet and the Pendulum" (the holy grail of NW-songs), "Dead Boys Poem" live from Buenos Aires (Tuomas' memory - how he wants to be remembered) and "Seven Days of the Wolves" live from Wembley (insane Floor).

You guys are in for an incredible journey, the Nightwish rabbit hole runs deep... 😀

Nightwish always better live especially with floor God bless

‼️ Definitely you have to do more often Nightwish songs. It’s very entertaining to watch your videos… 🏆👍

Hi, great reaction, I noticed that you like Floor's vocals, in my opinion she is a Goddess, but that's my opinion, greetings from Poland

The guitarist that one of you thought of, was propably Alexi Laiho, from Children of Bodom. Alexi past away 2021 and he was personal friend to all Nightwish members. RIP Alexi.

My favorite song, my favorite band, my favorite singer! Great reaction. 😊

Tuomas started playing piano when he was 7. He can also windmill while playing the keyboards. 😊🤘

Thank you! Great reaction. Yes second singer was Anette Olzon(Sweden). T o me her best song in Nightwish is Meadows of Heaven(no official video or good live, but great fanmade video). If you want check out most recent album listen Noise, Pan or Endlessness..

Awww look at the big baby Bernie back there!❤

From experience I can say that their shows that last about 2hrs just flies by. afterwards your in weird haze of awesomeness

Nightwish Army (Pa) division checking in . Fine job guys , can't wait for the next one

It's a pretty important lyrics - never forget to dream and use your imagination! You will never be too old to this. And don't worry - you ain't seen nothing yet - you have only scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities !!

That's pretty much the best chorus ever imho. Amazing song.

Lol TAH-REEYA. And I agree with the guy who has the Bernie dog, about the other singers.

Yep. They all work together, everyone plays together. No one wants to shine alone.

So much more to experience. Especially from the drums. It is You-kah. J's are pronounced Y.

This is my favorite so far of what you guys have put out. That's a masterpiece!

The base of Floor's power is (apart from posture and longs) her classical trained abdominal breathing technique. When you focus on her breathing, it looks like she never takes a breath (hence the joke: "does Floor ever breath?" answer: "yes one time on Tuesday and one time on Friday"). Sometimes however (camera is not always in the right place) you can see her belly button retracting for a second: that is when she takes in air and pushes it in a constant stream trough the diaphragm to her vocal cords. This is the reason why she is never get out of breath. Also: because of this you can see that Floor is always doing a lot of singing during a song and never avoids difficult pitches, many other bands give their singer more rest during a song or performance to prevent her/him to get exhausted. Not Floor, now that bass player Marko left the band she even sings also his parts where needed (watch e.g. "Planet Hell" from their virtual show in 2021 during the pandemic)... BTW did you see the time traveller at 9:21? At 9:34 he disappeared....

The drummer leaves the space, and then, when he does come in, he shows he can hit it as hard as anybody when he wants to. I think that makes things like the double kick and the tom rolls have even more impact, because he doesn't do them all the time...

I can remember this concert (during festival)like it was yesterday. I am getting old😂 I was at Helfest and saw them in the Amsterdam arena with my 3 girls. ❤

yeahh.. glad you liked it. Try more (choose from General Gabriel's List) ❤‍🔥 Greetings from NW-Army-Germany and SabatonFan

Beautiful Saint Bernard! Nice reaction, guys. Thanks 😊

Great reaction Boyz...you're only at the beginning of the Nightwish journey...you'll love the ride. Now how rough are you Boyz?...may I suggest another metal band for you to explore?...go in blind to the band Jinjer, the popular song to start your journey with them is a song called Pisces, the live session is the best. Good luck to you all and keep up the good work, from the Nightwish and Jinjer army in the South Pacific 😅

Get on the Nightwish express. It takes you away. You don’t know where they’ll take you but you know it going to be friggin’ epic. Sensory overload….and Floorgasms..NW style!!

Hello @Rough Boyz, Nightwish Army Italian Division here. The drummer is Jukka Nevalainen (from Finland), one of the best drummer ever. Unfortunately since 2014 he left the band as a musician due to health reasons but remained in the organization. He has been replaced by the equally good Finnish drummer Kai Hatho who is currently still in the band. Welcome to the Nightwish family

please do 3-4 more from the same concert plus the Greatest Show on Earth and the The Poet and the Pendulum … Toumas is the Metal Mozart and Floor is the Queen of Valkyries

Tuomas (keys), Tarja, Yuka and Emppu started the band together. They where childhood friends.

Floor is and has everything, you are correct!

Good one. She has it all.

UK Army popping in for a little story.

Nightwish Army, North America Midwest, children of the corn division, reporting for duty

That man NOT clapping is a TIME TRAVELER 🤫

3rd GA Division checking in. The list is awesome, but makes it hard to understand just how much better makes these songs live. Storytime is off of Imaginaerium, Annette’s second album. Last Ride of the Day is as well. Seven Days to the Wolves is off of Annette’s first album, Dark Passion Play. They are good songs on the albums, very different. But live with Floor is just a whole new level. Floor + Marco (not dead) is, 1+1=3 + live = 5.

Please do wish i had an angel from the same concert

Tarja according to the open letter it's claimed Tarja's husband was the influence behind Tarja not showing up to practice plus Tarja wanted to do her own thing anyway So they terminated her from the band. Anette Fell i'll and had complications with her pregnancy and couldn't finish there U.S. Tour in desperatness Tuomas called some lovely singers from Kamalot and eventually asked Floor to fill in. Later 2013 the band agreed to let Anette go and Floor to become their front woman. Now Troy the British multi instrumentalist has been around a little longer as he was there when Anette was there but wasn't a perminent member until 2013 so both him and Floor became perminent members. Jukka pronounced ( Yukka ) Or You-car not Yuk-car. Is still a member but works behind the scenes he had to stop drumming for the band because of insomnia and painful migraines making it difficult to perform. His good friend From Wintersun Kai takes over 2019.

🇬🇧 Norfolk reports for duty strapped in and ready 😊

Reacts to Joelma in the Calypso band singing "Pra te esquecer" live in the Amazonia in 2004 and reacts to Joelma singing live solo "Pra Te esquecer" in the Amazonia in 2022, and make a comparison. She has a very swollen face because she got covid19 5 times and her blood was clotting. FROM BRAZIL!

Thanks

If u like blastbeats you should check out "wintersun - sons of winter and stars" It is the former band of the new drummer from Nightwish. Its a bit complicated at first ,but it grew onm me

FYI, Wacken is in Germany. Germans pronounce W as V, thus its pronounced "Vaacken"

You guys they pronounce their j as a y. Her name is pronounced Floor Yansen. The drummer is Yukka. The first singers name is Tarya

Nichtwish it's wonderful. Have you heard of AURI? It's a band Tuomas has started with his wife Johanna and Troy. You should listen to their songs. Pearl Diving or Night 13 are fanatastic

Tuomas and Empu the lead guitar started the band. tuomas writes most music and lyrics. try Marko`s solo The Islander live at Tampere for a change of pace.

Jukka had me retire not too long after but Jukka because of chronic insomnia and migraines. Julia recommended Kai Haito his former drum teacher. Kai is one of the best drummers in the world. Your drummer friend would be away. He was in Wintersun and he can see his greatness in "The Sons of Winter and Stars and Nightwish song Tribal anything from 2015 from Nightwish is Kai.

👍👍

The drummer's first name is Yukka. Pronounced in red-neck English as "YOO-kah", not 'Djacka' or something like it.

hell yeah! more nightwish! W_(>_

Nightwish Army Canadian Shield division reporting for duty.

try not to hum the chorus melody afterwards -challenge

🤩👌💥💯🎶 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

EVER DREAM LISTEN....

something went wrong with the audio, the guitars and keys/orchestrals are way to quiet ... hope you heard it as it´s meant ..

tarja think she is a opera singer that sings metal floor is a metal singer that can sing opera if she need or like to and by the vey can sing all sord of musik better than most other out there

Ohhh youre dog beautifull

👋👋🇫🇮

Jukka and it is pronounced You-kka.

Compouser Tuomas Holopainen metal Mozart

YOU-cka, not Yucka

The Anette version got to number 1 in the Finnish charts, I still prefer this version though. You guys have to get used to pronouncing the J as a Y. Like TarYa, Yukka.

Finnish names are easy, just read like it's written. Try doing Google translate to Finnish Emppu Vuorinen(Short guy, guitarist, band jokster), or Jukka Nevalainen(drummer)

Speed is not good😢

Can't go wrong w "the list", lads! Each new song, you will swear is your favorite...it just gets better! Please, on the life of Floor's unborn baby...*do not* say "whackin" again. It's funny once, then it's disrespectful. Y'all have more class than that!

Good try, you better do anything else. Four Streamers just did nothing. Big fail.

Personally I prefer both Annette’s imaginaerum and Andra Ariadna’s cover. In fact I am beginning to prefer Andras covers to the Nightwish originals.

boring
