YES, I was told before I heard this song that Floor does the growl 😂 There’s a reason I did this version, for anyone who’s a performer…playing in a smaller venue is a much bigger challenge to sound good and create a responsive crowd, and this was beautifully done. You can also hear everything.🤘❤️💚💙

Fab to hear Floor growling here…Floor can do anything, she can even sing a phonebook. Thanks for the video!

You should do "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" live in Buenos Aires, it's heavy but has some cool unexpected changes and interesting vocal elements ;)

Keep going! 7Days to the wolves! She howls at the audience.

Tuomas is a great composer who has excellent musicianship in the band members with an excellent vocalist like Floor the are top notch!

Seven Days to the Wolves has all the things you loved in this song (except the growls) and then some.

Love it. The Wembley version is great but personally this is my favorite version because of the intimate setting with the band on the 2015 Baltic Princess Nightwish Tour.

For some more pleasant surprises, you might wanna check out the "Beste Zangers" goldmine. It's a treasure trove of all things Floor! I reckon Nova has already seen it, but if she didn't just drag her into your studio for a reaction à deux! I'll try to keep this short (failed, obviously..) and post a follow-up with all the necessary links. Okay so this is about songs that were first performed by Floor during the legendary 2019 edition of the Dutch TV show, "Beste Zangers". In English, this translates into "Best Singers" but it can also be taken as "Dear Singers", as in a written invitation. That's what the show is about. No competition or anything. Just accomplished singers gathered together in an intimate setting far from home (this was filmed on Ibiza, if I'm not mistaken). Each episode is dedicated to one of the singers. The other ones perform songs that have a special meaning for the singer at the centre of attention. What's so nice abt Floor in that show was that most of the other singers didn't know her. She was that "metal chick" and not well known in the mainstream. Most of the Dutch television audience didn't know much about her either. That was about to change dramatically. In short, she blew all of them away, singing in German, Dutch, English and Spanish. From the get-go, she set the bar so high that the others stepped up their game and in turn delivered stellar performances when they sang to Floor (and were incredibly nervous). Special mention in this respect: Emma Heesters (a KZfaq singer) who sang Floor's song "Strong" to Floor (who had written it for her mother who suffers from chronic RA). Tissues handy for that one! When doing reactions as a non-Dutchie, it's best to go with the English subbed versions that I'll provide the links to. These versions include the lovely before/after banter which provides some very useful & fun context to the songs. The official versions (by broadcaster AVRO/TROS) I would not recommend, since they miss the before/after and also tend to get blocked increasingly. In my follow-up to this comment, I'll post the links that will get you started. Enjoy! Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘🌷

Floor was growling every single chorus.

From the years ive heard Nightwish ive noticed Tuomas brings out all the different talents of whoever comes into the band with the new songs. like the drumming and the vocals in this are unique to Kai and Floor so its awesome to see this song be so different from their older songs but still have the nighwish feel.

This album was Tuomas’ first opportunity to play with Floor’s voice, being the first album recorded with her as the singer - I believe this was the song where he had the most fun!

You need to listen to ‘Beste zangers 2019’. Floor sings there , without Nightwish, with other Dutch singers. They sing eachothers songs and make them their own. Floor in Fantom of the opera with Henk Poort. And afcourse Shallow. Beautiful! You have to listen!!!

I love your T-Shirt! 🤘🏻

Marco has a great voice. You get a small taste in Everdream from Wacken, but he shines in The Islander from Tampere and While Your Lips are Still Red from live from Wembly not the video. And if you want heavy/angry Nightwish, Master Passion Greed has Marco on lead vocals as well

I love watching these journeys. I can hardly wait until you hit Aryeon on this path.

The moment where you pause right after the first growl section only to comment on Marko's line before it is some wonderful dramatic irony. It took me almost my entire first listen to realize it was floor doing the growls when I first heard this song.

Greetings. Tuomas tends to favor the stings, mainly violins, when it comes to playing with the orchestral track. The London Philharmonic Orchestra prerecorded all the orchestral tracks at Angel Studios, London and Tuomas plays it as a backing track during the shows. He gets to actually choose which instrument(s) he plays live. 😊❤️🤘🤘

Thanks for this video! Appreciate!

To hear Floor doing growls on a next level, here is a song from her Revamp days (Misery's No crime): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibSAmNZ9q7rShZs.html

Next one - High Hopes. And please don't tell him what to expect.

Proud soldier of Queen Floor here..... second to none!

Marco singing anytime - yes! Floor throwing in some growling - double yes! The combo - complete nirvana. :)

All you clowns that are belittling him for not catching her growls right off the bat, are the kind of Nightwish fans we don't need. The guy's listened to what?...4 songs? We have the advantage of hearing this hundreds of times, probably. He's listening to a ton of audio input here, we all know Tuomas put's a shit ton into his compositions. Marco's voice is also very forward in the mix and her growls aren't easy to pick out your first time around. Cut him some slack, we should be teaching him what to look for, instead of bashing his appreciation of their musical genius. He'll eventually get used to what to listen for and will identify "your favorite" part better, I'm sure. Grab some empathy and tact or stop commenting, it's embarrassing how much you feel you can slag someone on the internet with no consequences.

Gorgeous reaction, best wishes for FLoor's recovery

Hellfest 2022 was a great performance by Nightwish. Tribal was a fun song. But really, you can take your pick. Last Ride of the Day, Storytime, Shoemaker GLS, Greatest Show were my favorites.

The orchestral tracks are actually on a computer running Pro Tools, Tuomas mainly plays the strings and piano on his keyboards, but in a more rhythmic fashion to contrast the legato of the orchestra. The orchestra and choir are recorded in studio with the London Philharmonic orchestra and choir. To see their live setup kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMqYhs6Xx668epc.html

Seen them live! The saying are you ready to be floored? She is awesome live.

Always expect the unexpected with this awesome band

“There’s a change coming, I can feel it!” Awesome!!

The song itself is telling off all the internet Trolls.🦶 Did you notice that there is a different drummer? Kai Hahto is seen here. Original drummer ,Jukka Nevalainen, had to step aside in 2014 due to health issues caused by severe insomnia, but remains with the band in management. He called his friend ,Kai from Wintersun, to take over. This song is from the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album, the first recorded with Floor and Kai. Song of Myself, Storytime or Everdream(Wacken) next? Or for a closer look at Kai's drumming, Weak Fantasy (Tampere).

haven't heard them for a while now and WOW they killed it

Hi, nice reaction, we hope he'll get better, which is also connected with the European tour, greetings from Armi Nightwish from Poland

🔥🔥💪🔥🔥

That to me is there heavy one wow. Need to check out PLANET HELL is real heavy too keep rocking

Definitely check out I Want My Tears Back: Live in Buenos Aires 2019. It is an incredibly fun song featuring both Floor and Marko's vocals and this performance is the best band/crowd interaction I've ever seen.

Yeahhhhh, one of their best🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️

Hey!!! She's awesome. All the band is awesome. But She's one of a kind.

Great reaction!!😂😄🤘🤘

Depending on the song, orchestral parts are backing tracks but only if Tuomas runs out of hands...

Nightwish = Perfection

Marco never growls!! Is all about her!!

You mentioned the vibrato in Marco's voice! Try his other band, he had with his brother, and the song TIDES 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Awesome as always… and this on a cruise… 👍🏆 Next banger should be: Shudder before the beautiful (live from Wembley 2015)… 🚀

You can never predict where Tuomas will take the song, he is a genius composer

omg nightwish!!! 💜💜💜

You missed that Floor is doing some really deep growls during the choruses and that low scream at the end. But it’s easy to miss.

I have been waiting for this one!!!! But I am confused. Did he miss Floor growling or did he not. I can't tell. Oh heck who cares. Awesome song, Awesome reaction! Looking forward to more reactions.

Thanks for this Sir! Should you want to see and hear Floor go from full blast growling to operatic and back, check this out...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibSAmNZ9q7rShZs.html It's from 2014, she was already with Nightwish but stil performing with Revamp, and it's also in a small venue...😊 Be sure to waych till the very end, it's glorious!🤘

You didnt commented about the growls of floor while marco was singing. It is the most incredible moment of the song.

Think you are ready for a real heavy (and blond haired) Floor! Check out the song Disdain (live at Graspop 2010) from her former band Revamp. See and hear why Nightwish wanted her so badly....:)

Epica - Cry for the Moon reaction? Simone’s voice is phenomenal!

Are you catching Floor doing the metal growl? She can literally do it all.

This is my favorite song from the "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" CD (Floor's first one w/ Nightwish in 2015). I gravitate to the more heavier ones lol

(Too-uh- mas) is the correct pronunciation on Tuomas's name.

❤️❤️❤️

Dude..Carry on please but....MORE REGURARLY! Another 100+ songs with Floor are waiting. Nice reaction. Greetings from The Netherlands.

they use Pro Tools for their backing tracks, those keyboards aren't able to handle these backing tracks.

You need to here her in a different venue, try " Beste Zangers" Shallow

Weak fantasy at Tampere is another good song x

Now you could be Superman or The Witcher after the workout.

U should do a reaction video of floor Jansen and Henk poort the phantom of the opera from beste zangers (dutch tv show) its insane

This is their thrash song!

FLOOR DO THE Growls and Marco sing the Clean vocals Floors Deepest Growl is an A1.

Man, now you must: - listen and judge Marco Hietala (bassist) - meet Jinjer band - much, much more music btw. Thuomas uses good samples of course, but at concerts like Wacken '13 it was the original music recorded with the London Orchestra.

It's always fun to watch you reacting - especially to NIGHTWISH ( of course ). Passion and knowledge, even when your opinion is unpopular 🤣. But, seriously, your voice is awsome 😀. I am exploring the " city of sound". Greetings from Germany🤗 and parkinson's sucks ⚘and EMPPU RULES 😎🤘

I somehow want to sing ""Mother..." when I look at your lead-in video .

We're so lucky that Marko graced Nightwish so long, and I'd love for him to be back with them, but they restrained his skills with the parts written for him somewhat just because he's not the lead. It is important to note that he also has songwriting credits with Tuomas for quite a few things and did a lot of sound engineering for their albums. He is a frontman in his own right and slays everything you could possibly put in front of him. Check out 'Tides' and 'Wings of Darkness' from Tarot his old band if you feel up to seeing his more traditional style. For Christmas you should listen to 'Heinillä härkien kaukalon' (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebCqZLh23t2UfYE.html) by Northern Kings! Him and some other nordic metal gods party together hard. They did crazy covers of 'I need another hero' and other stuff too.

Thanks about the explanation about the keybord of Tuomas, i appreciated that a lot, i always learn from your commends, thank you.

Revamp: Misery's no Crime. @ Mezz Breda 17-01-2014,kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibSAmNZ9q7rShZs.html here Floor Jansen almost in one breath, goes from full death metal growl to a full operatic voice with high powerful notes, and Floor does it at an incredible high level.

Let's hope it's the Wembley version lol

You oughta check out a couple from this years Festivals. F.ex from Hellfest. Floor doing both Marcos part and her own on some songs. Others with Troy.😎😋🇧🇻

Tuomas (Two Oh Mas)... FYI,

nice reaction. its like trippin with a pumpkin......

You simply must listen to Phantom of the Opera, Marko is a killer singer in his own right.

Valkyr has a growl.

If you are interested in the stage setup for Nightwish around that time period, including discussion and close look at the instruments ( bass guitars / lead guitars / keyboard including tilting / pedal boards / drums etc), click track, lighting and sound mix controls see: Nightwish Rig video by GearGods (2015) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMqYhs6Xx668epc.html (no song spoilers from that timestamp)

Too-oh-maas

Do also wintersun ....time or lonlines or sons of winter an sun.....you will meet true metal mozart there.....plus curent bassist and drumer of nightwish is there

Do epica. Dutch symphonic band. Consign to oblivio @ zenith. Gonna love it. I love nightwish but this performance was epic.

Try there song Master passion greed with Marco on vocals maybe there heaviest one :)

He says in the comments he knows she does the growls, but he spends all his attaboys on Marco, so I'm not convinced.

For more Growling Floor, check out Revamp- Here's my Hell

Marcel Wil 2 dagen geleden Hi there, Great reaction tx, you should also listen and react to Floor jansen together with Henk Poort singing The phantom of the opera in program called "Beste Zangers 2019", it is absolutely amazing. greetings from Holland

The Heaviest Nightwish song is Master Passion Greed. Unfortunately they dont perform it live due to it being about the manager/husband of their original singer.

If you want find out more of Floors rockside, listen to her Northward projekt: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKeZg8iE2NeoXWg.html. Also little harder metal Floor: Revamp kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7SDmZllsp_ZcWQ.html.

As you're wearing an Iron Maiden shirt: What about the band, that had been selected directly by IM themselves to support them on their European stadium tour? --> Lord of the Lost Dark rock meets goth meets glam metal meets synths including a perfect mixture of clean and harsh vocals down to growls. They recently supported Iron Maiden across Europe. They lately released an album and bunch of videos from this album. One is „The Gospel of Judas“. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7tzlbRi17GzhZs.html „Priest“ is also from „Judas album. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrJjo6ZexNaYcp8.html One of my favorite songs is „Under the sun“: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZ-ka7mauKfWZ2Q.html

How to pronounce Tuomas: kzfaq.infouiCWOlvxeyU

Lmao, I've been holding this comment for about 2/3 of the song to see if you'd notice who was doing the growling under Marko's chorus singing on the line "Yours is an empty hope." Lmao, you need to listen again, listen for the deep growling. It's Floor.

😂😂😂 It's so f** difficult to spot the growling in this performance because of the mix. Now go watch the Wembley version my friend 😅🤘

🤗🍒🤘🏻Isn't it time to put on a "Nightwish-shirt" instead of Iron Maiden !! 😁

Song of myself has 3 pauses in it

Safe assumption that you're a Maiden fan?

Want to REALLY hear Floor growl? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibSAmNZ9q7rShZs.html

I don't CAAAARE this version is AWESOME!!!!! The band looks happy, sounds amazing and Floor looks like the queen she is with the shiniest hair. And you know who looks happy too? The F** REACTOR! You all are annoying, let people live & enjoy. Keep going J ✌I'm sorry I can't give this 10 likes!

Ah shame it wasn't the wembley version, it was a much better produced recording. Definitely worth checking that version out

🤩👍💥💯 Don't mind at all the comments like: "...wrong version..." "...didn't you reckon Floor's vocalization on choruses" And the rest 'non-uplifting' posts... Greatly executed track despite there isn't 20 000 participants in the audience! 🤘😎🇫🇮💙▶️

Kinda got a jerma face

Too-ugh-mas

Bad version, you can barely here Floor growling in this recording. Check live at Wembley version.

Of all the videos of this song, this is the most epileptic one. Also, it's a bit harder to discern the growl, except the final part where it's bloody obvious.
