Before you do Poet and the Pendulum you need to research the back story. The lyrics would be hard to understand. It is an emotional song. Also if you do the one with lyrics it doesn't seem to be blocked. What she does with her hair is called the windmill...... :-) That is why I love them, because you never know what you are going to get!

As Floor is Dutch, it's only appropriate she "Windmills."

I know there is alot of requests from Wacken but the whole concert was just insane so on that note "Ghost River "from Wacken live has got to be next ....you guys crack me up ./.Great reactions ..Nightwish Army ..APPROVES !!

The only thing I would wish for Nightwish is a bigger popularity in the US. Consider this: when they come over to the US they play for venues of max 5,000 people while everywhere else they have audiences of at least 25,000. Wacken for instance hosts 82,000+ people! So what would be nice is gaining many US 'ambassadors' - like you guys - willing to 'spread the word'. Make them better known and more famous in the US. They surely deserve it!

If you want to hear something different again from Nightwish try Sleeping Sun from Tampere. Its a ballad type song.

For Poet and the Pendulum you’ll need to pause every so often to avoid the copyright strike. That’s a song where understanding the bands backstory will help with context.

For a different side to Floor, give ReVamp - Disdain live at Graspop 2010 a listen.

Thank You guy's. I really enjoy, when Nightwish Family is getting new members ❤.

Wiyh "Poet And The Pendulun" you have 5 sections and if you do it with lyrics you know where to pause, alsoo read a little bit of the back story why the song was written. Did you allready see the first female vocal of Nightwish ? "Phantom of The Opera"live by Nightwish will give you a good grasp of her vocals and alsoo Marka shines as "The Phantom" 😍😎👌

This is my favorite song. The energy and the fun they're having you can see that in their smiles.

For some Nightwish opera....1st female vocalist … "Phantom of the Opera". Great reaction.

Ghost River (Wacken 2013).

I just looooove Floor🥰 she is the whole package😄 Nightwish is non other than fantastic🤩 Good too see u back Ann Waychoff😃🌷🌺

You might as well resign to the fact that you will be reacting to every song from Wacken 2013. There's not a bad song in the entire show. Floor was still very new to the band; in fact she wasn't even an official member when this was filmed.

That was an awesome reaction! Thank you for stopping by the Discord! It was fun to have you guys! :) Also I hope you can react to Ghost River next. Or maybe Dark Chest of Wonders? From the same Wacken 2013 concert of course :)

So, that ending with her in the high operatic notes, that was actually a pre-taped backing vocal in the original song. Floor just decided to do it herself lol

Perhaps the "popiest" song they have. Lyrics with Alice, Peter Pan and blue skies, about the innocence and imagination that we tend to loose as we grow up. And it *works*! Damn it onions, now I got flashbacks to all those times when I was a kid; with my father reading stories with dramatic voice and gesticulations and all was fine again and anything seemed possible. Miss you dad.

"Ghost River" live from Wacken would be good to react for next before jump into The Poet and The Pendulum.

Fantastic reaction! Next you should react to either Ever Dream or Ghost River! Both from Wacken 2013.

The song before this ever dream is also outstanding

Thank you for reaction of Nightwish they are one of the best live band :-) for long time ago i searched about wolves I found Nightwish 7 Days to the Wolves and then their one of my favorite band, Here at North Europe exist many good metal band like Hammerfall Last Man Standing, Sabaton Carolus Rex at English or Swedish version, the drummer in Sabaton is married with Floor in Nightwish

You guys are fun...I'm glad you are doing this together. You both compliment each other! keep up the good work! Not so much work if it is also your passion! Listen to Ann she is the Nightwish Superfan! What she says goes! I hope you are doing well and feeling better Ann, love from Canada! And I agree with Stan, it is nice to have sooo many elements in a song/journey....how many times have you listened to one band and FF'd to the next song/track cause was a slower song or not the right song for your mood. With Nightwish songs you can pretty much listen to one song and get all the moods..Anyways..love you guys again!

nightwish the greatest show on earth

Great job again guys! I enjoy watching!

if you like the operetic look to the duet with Simone Simons from a other symphonic metal band Epica.Simone and Floor are close friends btw.Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show.The 2 big front woman of a symphonic metal band

You should react to Epica Sancta terra, Floor and Simone simmons sing a duet it's amazing. Great reaction by the way

LoL Floor is Dutch so they call the thing she does with her hair her Windmills ;)

Oh my god had to watch this before going work! What masterpiece, thanks Brian and Stan! 😍

Search Floor Jansen opera Puccini on your own just to see Floor sing some pure opera.

Buckle up, you will now find yourself going on the Inevitable Nightwish journey through the most amazing catalog of music and performances! Welcome to the Nightwish Community, you will grow to love so many of their songs! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎂🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

In the original studio version of this song the operatic part that Floor sings was done by a complete choir, as the singer at that time could not do the operatic voice. In fact in "Ghost Love Score" the last 90 seconds or so were redone by Floor and Thomas to take advantage of Floor's vocal range.

Plz check out "Nightwish stargazers live at tampere" it's full operatic 😍🤘

Enjoying you guys reactions to Nightwish, after poet and teh pendulum you guy have to do "The Greatest Show on Earth" you are gonna love it!

Thank you gentlemen for catching that slightly Pat Benetar vibe, I didn't before I like the song "Invincible" by her 😍😎👍

Fun fact, none of the songs on Wacker 2013 DVD are written for Floor. They were all written for the previous two leads.

Getting back to your Jinjer kick, for a slightly different flavor check out the band #UnleashtheArchers and their song "Awakening." It's another internal studio live recording session like "Pisces"

"Catchy" is the term for beautiful if you don't want to admit it is beautiful!

Ghost River, Bless the Child, Dark Chest of Wonders, so many songs from that concert that are fucking epic. You can't really go wrong if you pick one from there.

Ok guys Great reaction again, but again from Wacken. Maybe now you can do My Walden from Live At Tampere

aight - ima all cuaght up on your Nightwish reactions - glad you reacted to this one - subbed - the rest of the NW army is still enroute...

Again a great reaction, thanks guys : ) .Try "She is my sin" from the Wacken concert

Awesome job again gentlemen 🤘

Whatever style Floor sings, it's going to invade your soul.

Hi Guys, first I want to say that I really enjoy your videos, you are very entertaining! I very much like your decent into the world of Nightwish and look forward to more! Secondly, since you said a few times that you like celtic stuff, I highliy recommend that you react to the band Eluveitie with either "King" or "Rebirth". They are the undisputed masters of Celtic Folk Metal. Keep it up and good luck for the future!

I just love your reactions to Nightwish! please react to "Poet and the pendelum" ( read about the background story first) live at Wembley and "Greatest show on earth live" at Tampere or Wembley. You guys have sp many good songs ahead of you ( as long as you stay with the live versions with Floor). Keep it up!

5:46 haha shit I never noticed that, almost 100% idential. Now I'll never be unable to see Stewart front row at a Nightwish show. Seems like a band he'd be into too.

Great channel guys. Love the vids especially here in the UK now you are checking out symph metal. You have got to check out bands like Epica, Delain, Within Temptation, Xandria, Leaves Eyes, Arch Enemy with Alissa, Kamelot etc and early Nightwish with Tarja as their lead singer. Keep up the good work.

Unbelievable the way Floor performs. But if I could be in Nightwish, I'd want to be JUKKA! He is ferocious the way he literally stalks his drum. Unreal. And the guy who isn't reacting at all, must be deaf, a narc, or an over protective parent who bought his kid a ticket and hadda go watch. LOL!

There is a great operatic song Floor do a duo with Simon Simon from Epica. Check out "Epica - Stabat Mater Dolorosa (retrospect live)"

Love this song- and followed up by Last Ride of the Day.. EPIC.. Thx guys!

Oh, you noticed "MA". Nice. XD Great reaction!

she is a once in a lifetime talent, happy to see she has her roots in Europe without being contaminated by the American music machine

Ah Floor and her WINDMILLING (she is Dutch), for whatever reason there is nothing sexier to a male metal-head than a woman headbanging/windmilling!!!! I swear she could of knock over all 80,000+ Wacken metal-heads with the force of that hair!!! What is really remarkable is she does it with such force and for such a long period of time and then comes out of it and right back into singing full blast, me I would need to be resuscitated and put into traction first (LOL). Great reaction as always guys and the lane analogy is perfect, cause I hope Floor doesn't drive like she sings (changing lanes without signaling and doing it a lot!!!!(LOL)!!!! Hey looking to get another great young teen band some love (You did Asterism and I am so grateful) but how about 3 teen sisters from Mexico (The Warning) a truly passionate and joyful group that make you feel about music the way you did as a teen yourself. Independent and write and perform their own music which is amazing, try Dust to Dust (intro to the concept album) and watch Pau "assault" the drums while Dany on guitar and Ale on bass harmonize and drive this song home (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ist5lapp09GzmYk.html)!! Finally, how about thrash metal teens from New Zealand who sing in their native Maori tongue (4% of the population only can speak it) and they sing about the trials and tribulations of their ancestors with anger and passion, keeping their indigenous culture alive today through metal in hopes of stopping it's eradication tomorrow!! Truly admire these kids and this video teaches a little history while they are at it!! Kai Tangata (Official Video) (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9GnfM53m7KqdJc.html). Love the channel guys please keep it up!!!

The background choir is recorded. They do that to make the live experience as close to the in studio recording as possible.

Love those drums...😍😍😍

I think you guys would love "Last Ride Of The Day" (Wacken 2013) :)

Great reaction guys. Hope you appreciate music and poetry? ‘Twas the night before When all through the world No words, no dreams, then one day A writer by a fire Imagined all Gaia Took a journey into a child-man’s heart A painter on the shore Imagined all the world Within a snowflake on his palm Unframed by poetry A canvas of awe Planet Earth falling back into the stars I am the voice of Never-Never-Land The innocence, the dreams of every man I am the empty crib of Peter Pan A silent kite against the blue, blue sky Every chimney, every moonlit sight I am the story that will read you real Every memory that you hold dear

Love Jukka's energy!

Have you ever heard Floor miss a note live? Me neither.

Yes, Nightwish songs are "boxes of chocolate" and "The Greatest Show On Earth" is yet to come!

Not sure if anyone has seen it but Nightwish made the movie Imaginaerum in 2012 containing the songs from the album with the same title. If you are a true Nightwish fan you will enjoy it so check it out

Nightwish Army, Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!

killer vocalist.killer band

Good one guys. Yeh Stan, get on Discord, and don't lose the hat.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the Drummer OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever Dream, Ghost River!

The Greatest Show On Earth at Tampere. Phantom of the Opera from the End of an Era Concert sung by their original singer Tarja in their last concert together before she was fired. Poet and the Pendulum was written by Tuomas to deal with his depression arising from the firing of Tarja, who was a long time friend where he commits suicide through the song rather than in real life. If you like Marco singing, he does a song called Smile While Your Lips Are Still Red. Sleeping Sun by Tarja is awesome. My Walden is Celtic in feel. She's My Sin is heavier. Nemo is a good song. Not even sure when to stop. Lol.

ok so alot of people seem to over look that the entire imaginaerum album was a concept album ghost river, story time, i want my tears back and a few others all came from this album and the reason its listed as a concept album is not only did they make the album but there was an entire movie shot around the album and it gives so much more context to all the songs especially to song of myself in the wacken concert you only get to see the phrase "and there forever remains the change from G to E minor " on the screen behind them at the end of the song and the movie "imaginaerum " gives that meaning and context you dont really get from the album or the concerts i really suggest watching it unfortunately it was all done long before floor sooo you will have to settle for anette olzon its still very good though

Most people that get blocked with Poet and the Pendulum don't pause enough during the video. I think that you guys should be okay.

ever dream - wacken 2013 amazing

B and S; I have to mention the drummer who I think was the best stick man in this genre; Jukka Nevalainen. IIRC he is a founding member of the band and was their only drummer until 2014. Unfortunately, in that year, Jukka had to leave the band due to his ongoing battle with chronic insomnia. Here is his Wiki bio; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jukka_Nevalainen

Thanks guys!

Her WINDMILL game is STRONG

Dark Chest Of Wonders from this show.

Magic...Amazing .

That dude is a cop for shore lol

Just insane literally cannot watching your reaction video 🤘🏼

you guys are cool, keep it up!

Love me some Patricia Benatar. Pat Benatar was also a trained opera singer who went common voice for her rock career.

Love them!!!

I fkin love this chorus

cant stay away enoy your journey guys best band araound :-)

Little backstory, this song was written for the previous singer Anette Olsson that has a more rock pop voice. The "original" version is cool (we love and appreciate the previous singer and respect her contribution to that era) but Floor's version is always a million times better ;)

Another great female fronted metal band is Epica-Consing to Oblivion (live at Zenith). This bands is also a Symphonic metal band

I can't live without Nightwish Please react The last ride of the day from the same concert.

That dude with the hat was crowd-surfing at some point in the concert. I forget which song. xD

That weird guy just standing there might be Tuomas himself.

I love nightwish but i have to request Powerwolf - Resurrection by Erection, Powerwolf - Army of the night, Ghost - He is as you are still rather small and i see a chance :D

I'm right there for the Facebook fun! :D

There are a couple of easy things to avoid getting Copyright strike of Poet and the Pendulum. Pausing for short reflection between each section, is what I've seen the most.

The 6 dislikes on this video are from the dude in the audience who just stood there unamused.

Check out songs from the Tarja era: Ever dream, End of all hope, Sleeping sun, Wishmaster, Over the hills, Nemo

Great reaction to STORYTIME, now you should watch THE LAST RIDE OF THE DAY. Nice reference to Pat Benatar. Have you reacted to her yet. Thank you.

Lots of people seem to be able to do the Poet and the Pendulum without getting blocked. Also, what's with the Louisville shirt?

Btw, I think Hans Zimmer allowed the to use Crimson Tide’s theme (from around 4:40 in your video)

Ok first off go steelers!!!!! With that out of the way I myself found nightwish 3 or 4 months ago. And I am hooked. I have yet to find a song I didn't like. My reaction request is ever dream. With that being said if you already do not know about avenged sevenfold please try them out. Afterlife, bat country, or nightmare.

Ever Dream Wacken 2013!!!

Hey Guys, please react to "Epica - Sancta Terra with Floor Jansen".

Ghost river next!

I'd like to hear you react to Scaretale the ALBUM version (With their 2nd singer, Anette Olzen) and Phantom of the Opera on the End of an Era DVD (With their 1st singer, Tarja Turunen). Also, High Hopes (With Marco Hietala, the bassist, singing). Finally, I want you to react to The Greatest Show On Earth at Tampere 2015. Ofcourse, you could also react to some that never get love, like Alpenglow, 7 Days to the Wolves, etc...
