Yo that in sync windmill with Floor was flawless my dude!!!

Good one, there is only one Floor. Everyone smiles when Floor sings.

It's nice to see a reactor get as excited about Jukka as i do!

I don't mind the pauses and going back to watch again moments of interest. At least your reactions are not dull!!!

Banger! I don't think Emppu is ever angry. He's the joker in the pack. I think he was trying to smile with a guitar pick between his teeth. If you want to see Kai, as well as being introduced to multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley, react to one of my favourites, "Seven Days to the Wolves" live at Wembley Arena. You're a fun reactor.

Remember. Floor Jansen does not walk on stage, she prowls

Do not apologize for pausing and/or backing up this is a reaction. If we wanted uninterrupted video we would just go watch it on its own.

Jukka is the "Disturbed" version of Kai. LOL

"Slaying The Dreamer" - Buenos Aires 2018; is a great performances of Nigtwish with the metal-queen; Floor Jansen

This entire concert is outstanding. To think Floor hadnt even been with them for a year yet. I still think all the smiles among the band are them thinking Oh hell YES this team works baby!

Tuomas has reached the pinnacle of his composition, seeing Floor perform the songs to greatest level that he had hoped for. That is why he is smiling!

Who could be mad at a viking playing Nightwish and Storytime yet. I like your format with a full screen for the video. Yes, there just seems to be something about Jukka on the drums. I can only describe Floor as glorious.

Storytime never fails to put a smile on my face. If you like Jukka and his drumstick twirling, then check out the song Amaranth also from Wacken 2013. In the chorus he repeatedly twirls his drumstick in-between hitting the cymbals. Stay safe 🤘✌

Nightwish - The Best Symphonic Metal ever!! Floor is unique and mind blowing!

Love your reactions, I’ll follow your Nightwish journey. So much fun when you know what’s coming 😄

Storytime is an awesome song. Thanks.

I really enjoy your reactions. You have a great sense of humor.

one of the best drummers EVER!!!!!

Synchronized windmilling, pure joy on your face, loving Emmpu, appreciation of Jukka....this reaction has everything I want! Can't wait for more! Subbed :)

Best reaction ever . You Point out how much fun they have. Great reacting

you've earned yourself another sub my friend! excited to see you continue your nightwish journey. greetings from Scotland!

You make this old Viking smile. Thank you.

Great reaction. Time for a "cold shower from the Ghost River". Also from the same Wacken show. Time for a little growl.

Good song for seeing Kai in full action: Devil and the deep dark ocean live in buenos aires!!!! EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!

YES! Nighwish Army, New Mexico Division checking in! Love the reactions!

All Hail The Valkery Goddess, Queen of the Windmill, high notes and sheer Badassness. 👑🤘This is my favorite song so thank you for the Amazing reaction absolutely loved it. Your channel is one of my favorites. Please react to Nightwish Yours Is An Empty Hope ( Floor is the one growling in this song not Marco) and Devil And The Deep Dark Ocean Buenos Aires 2018🤘😁🤘💜

You are on your way to becoming my fave nightwish reactor sir! And not only because you are dutch. Just keep m coming!! Greetings from holland :)

You want to see her relaxed then take a look live at Buenos Aires any song from the concert

7:30 "Toumas she is the one", 7:49 "Toumas i agreeee"

Great reaction Mr Viking!!! Been watching ur videos since the start and I'm a big Nightwish fan too. You said or asked in Romanticide "When this covid is over we will go see them and who is with me?" Well you might know but the concert in Holland is planned on 22 and 23 of November in the Ziggo Dome!! So buckle up coz when covids lets us Im part of it. Hope to see you there.............Greetingsfrom Holland

yeaaaaa this is one of my favorites because you can see how much fun their having! Always makes me smile :) Also sick work with the beard dude!

She is the Beauty and the Beast when she's performing.

He Had ONE of the best drumsound EVER!!!!!

Jukka keeps rocking back and forth to help keep in sync with the click track in his monitors. Effective way to do it. Actually, spinning a stick that way is really easy with a bit of practice. Nice reaction - keep going. You make us Vikings proud!

I just got one second premature floorgasm in anticipation of that last note she sang. ❤️

im so happy i found this channel u do great job on reacting and u also look like band members like is he mad what is happening etc and it shows u generally enjoy music =) keep up uber work best wishes from finland

I don't mind the pausing. That makes me like your reaction more! To watch you get excited and surprised is the reaction I love to see! I'm excited to see you every Friday now! Rock on!

Didn't mention "this is my favorite song" so my earlier prediction failed :) Best part you'll have these awesome songs for every Friday for the rest of the year at least.

Emppu is a jokester in this band 🥰 If you want to see Jukka spinning stick every 2min, watch "Nemo" from the same concert. 😄 and Kai is our octopus! He have 8 limbs on that drums! 😀🐙 Awesome reaction!! 🤟 cant't wait for more

I love Emppu, he is always going to see how his mates are doing. And always smiling

SKOL and good reaction again Viking! Nightwish songs + Floor = Musical perfection.

I suggest "Ghost River" or "Dark Chest of Wonders" next from Wacken...

They are right about the backstory, those songs are outstanding to react to on their own, but there is a lot happening during those songs/performances, knowing the backstory will help you follow along and enhance your enjoyment 10 fold..

Your reactions are very entertaining! Emppu always seems like he is having fun on stage, he is pretty much the prankster of the band! x)

Great job again! OK, time for a little Troy! "I Want My Tears Back", live from Buenos Aires 2019 is a very fun, Celtic feel song where you will get your first glimpse of another member of the band, Troy! Such a feel good party song, I think you will love it too. Cheers!

Great and fun reaction, go back as many times you want, I don't mind. Plenty of time to do some Nightwish songs before the concert in November 2021, hope to see you there.

I love your reactions man! The Nightwish Army welcomes you, when Floor sings and people react like we all do to her powerful and beautiful voice, we smile, like yep, I get that! This whole band is freaking awesome! Tuomas is a genius poet composer.

"Everything is highly requested" we don't call ourselves the Nightwish Army for nothing

Great reaction from you 👍 In my opinion, the only info you actually need about the Poet and the Pendulum are: It's a suicidal depression, illustrated or rather performed in music, in a way that are unmatched by anyone else. The composition of the music are a mirror of the thoughts running loose, emotions overwhelmed by sad and depressive thoughts, the surroundings - nature and people . The way Floor and Marko are able to use their voices to express emotions are unbelievable. The background story is the "not well handled departure of Tarja" - but the song will fit into other scenarios as well, that leads into a deep depression. All the personal guessing and who did what, are not important to understand the meaning of the song. Floor and Tuomas said in an interview, that they were proud of how they managed to get those emotions in it - because it is personal. (Tuomas actually gets the technicians to kill Floor's voice in his earplugs, to keep concentrated)

You have to listen (and maybe react) to: -The whole Wembley concert (for the newer songs) -The whole Buenos Aires concert (for the old Tarja songs, but with Floor)

You can certainly expect to see us all next Friday - you've certainly caught the joy of Nightwish. "There isn't a bad song in the Wacken show" - you don't know how right you are . . . but you will know soon. Great reaction.

6:40...7:15 there is the prerecorded backtrack support. It makes the incredible sound. Credits Pip Williams & Tuomas in addition to Floor.

That synchronised windmilling alone is worth a like. The rest of reaction is also great. You're on a right track with your channel.

Another vocalist that literally plants themselves into the stage is Bruce Dickinson. The dude practically has a Karate stance.

I saw a comment during the video that you ‘never fell in love with a band this fast.’ It only took two songs for me: the first one I heard was Amaranth. Then came Wish I Had an Angel and I was hooked. 🤘😝🤘

Awesome! Great song pick and you are so entertaining!

New sub here from Sweden! What great reactions you have! Just love Nightwish and Sabaton! Looking forward to more of this on your channel. Keep up with the Wacken show when it comes to Nightwish and explore Sabaton´s live shows from Woodstock or their The great tour. For a new Vikning inspired bans check out Brothers of Metal. ;)

Jukka is moving while not drumming because he is keeping time with a click track in his ear monitor. He’s responsible for keeping the beat. Later you will want to catch Floor’s solo performances on Beste Zangers 2019 and several covers from 2020 and 2021 that she created in her home studio. It shows she is the absolute master of all genres. 😄🤘

Floor was introduced as the new singer of the band to those 82 thousand people there. I assume that those back and forth between Marco and Floor could be a kind of support from Marco to Floor. And the smiling face of Tuomas is because he realized that they reach the perfect formula of perfection with Floor. I'm assuming everything. The fact is that things were too difficult before this show: a lot of work and inversion to make a great tour, heath problems of the previous singer, etc. They almost canceled the tour. Floor was their life float, she took the risk without having enough time to think about it, learned the set of songs in few hours, faced the Nightwish public without knowing their reactions, etc. They had a lot of reasons to be happy that night!

Don't be sorry for talking and pausing. That's what we like! You want some not-so-highly requested Nightwish songs? Several of my favourites are rarely (if ever) reacted to: * Angels Fall First (Very beautiful oldie with Tarja) * The Riddler (A fast-paced oldie with Tarja) * Meadows of Heaven (My favourite with Anette. Best option is a fan made video with landscape imagery). * Dead to the World (Super catchy chorus. Marko is great in this. I think there are live versions with Tarja as well as with Floor.) * Pharaoh Sails to Orion (The song that got me hooked on Nightwish back around 2000. There is a live video with the mighty Tapio Wilska as guest vocalist (the guy who sang on the album version))

Great - looking forward for the Nightwish Friday

Our Queen, our Valkerie came down from Asgard to sing to the most beautiful fans of all, The Nightwish Army. great reaction thanx for that, the suggestion for doing the whole gig without pause......LET'S DO IT. greets from the netherlands.( tot de volgende clip, kan niet wachten. topper).

I love seeing people getting floored, great vid 😎

There's absolutely no bad song on this set list, but I really love this song ❤

The lyrics of this are quite simply a Declaration of all that is Floor. She is the voice of never never land ......

Another fun reaction to a band having so much fun! If the energy could be harnessed from Nightwish gigs, they could power a large city! Don't worry about pausing. As some one else already posted, your reactions aren't dull, and what you have to say is relevant. I'm subscribed (although I didn't receive a notification for this reaction?), so I am looking forward to when you 'graduate' to the Poet and The Pendulum.

That made me very happy. Thanks!

Thanks for a great video! Finally someone else saw Emppu's reaction.😁😁😁🙏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Jukka did the spinning even in middle while he was playing. Should have a dedicated turn to have an eye on this :-)

Welcome to Nightwish rabbit hole, my friend! It's cosy here:) Greets from Finland!

I feel bad, I have "known" about Nightwish for several years, but never listened to them until very recently, Floor has easily become my favorite singer of all time, and Nightwish as a whole is one of my favorite bands. Thanks for your reactions!

I love it when she comes with her open arms and starts singing those high notes.. I will not mind if she will come to take my soul when I will die, it doesn't matter where she takes me😁 great reaction, I enjoy how much fun you have with them. For me another fun band is Powerwolf, you can try the song "sanctified with dynamite". Can wait for next Friday. Stay safe🤘😁🤘

Yes you choose one of my top favorites of them to react to next! :D Rock on, my friend! ;) I love, love, love, love this song and performance! 8D Lovely to see your hyperness, it really is a mirror to my own :D

Nightwish army UK 🇬🇧 reporting for duty.... I'm liking your reaction style sir.... Mostly the respect you show the artist by using "mini me" mode... Lol...props to you for that, you may stop / talk over, but its usually interesting or fun or both and then go back a little.👍👍 If I want a clean video I'll watch the original... I'm here to see your reactions. Keep on doing what you're doing. Enjoy your nightwish journey viking 🤘🤘

This song is just so god damn catchy! :D

Skol: I hated that brand of beer: always got me headaches lol. Great reaction!

Yes, do The Greatest Show on Earth (live @Tampere). The lyrics and the title is quite important. So yes, a bit of research is recommended ^^. Also watch it to the very end.

yess ! a good one ! If yo want more Floor's belt, try "devil and the deep dark ocean - live Buenos Aires" or "dead boy's poem live Buenos Aires" ;). more heavy metal ? again from Buenos Aires: "slaying the dreamer".

I still love Jukka his style, more agressive and theatrical, he is still my favorit.

We are going to finish it again fuck it haha I am with you on that. This is an amazing performance. Thank you for the video.

You should check out planet hell, love jukkas drumming in that song.

Two Dutch Windmills 🤘🤩

As you mention Kai, you should actually react to another band he very known from, Wintersun and the perfect song would be "Sons of winter and stars" Live rehearsal version. Man that is an epic song and. also consider: unleash the archers - awakening Ayeron - The Day that the world Breaks Down and everybody dies

AAAAAmazing!!!!!

I know I am late finding your channel but ... Welcome to the phenomenon that is the genre of Symhonic metal and welcome to the Nightwish Army!! This was the Wacken Open Air Festival Concert back in 2013, and there were over 82,000 people at this concert. the current singer is from the Netherlands, and a majority of the band members are from Finland, although the woodwinds player is from England. FYI - keep reading because when this concert was recorded Floor was only a FILL IN for this tour! She wasnt invited to be a full time member until a few months later! SO WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC ACTUALLY IS BAND NIGHTWISH? Nightwish is actually one of the groups credited with the CREATION of the Metal Sub-genre of Symphonic Metal (according to Wikipedia!). Symphonic Metal in general only borrows the hard driving double kick drums, and the hard grungy style guitars and bass from Metal. However, in SYMPHONIC METAL the guitar is not the primary focal point, it is in fact the keyboards and their movie-scorish sounding orchestral sound. The keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen (first name pronounced as Too-oh-mas) is the composer of all of the music arrangements and is the leader of the group. He is a personal huge lover of movie scores, which is where a lot of the movie-scorish style sound of the keyboards comes from (which is the primary focal point of ALL of Nightwish’s music instrumentally). In Symphonic Metal 90-95% of all Symphonic Metal bands are all female fronted. Currently only Kamelot, Serenity, and a hand full of other Symphonic Metal bands even have male singers, and they are normally referred to as Symphonic Power Metal. The female fronted bands are the ones usually referred to over in Europe as ‘Symphonic Metal’. The most popular Symphonic Metal bands are Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, and Kamelot. When Symphonic Metal first started the female lead singers used an operatic style of singing, but as the Genre has evolved over the last 20+ years in the UK since Nightwish came long in 1996, they have adopted more of a contemporary style of singing like Floor uses currently. Floor Jansen is the 3rd and current Lead Singer since Nightwish released its first album in 1996, and she is from the Netherlands. Keep in mind when Floor did this concert (Wacken Open Air in 2013), she had not been with Nightwish for very long, she was actually a FILL-IN for this particular tour. Nightwish was in the middle of the Imaginearum World Tour when they parted ways with their SECOND Lead Singer Anette Olzen (from Sweden), and Tuomas (pronounced as Too-oh-mas) called Floor and asked her if she could learn their entire set list in 48 hours and then fill-in for them for the rest of the tour. Within the next few short months, the band posted their first Official Live Performance video since they fired their first lead singer Tarja Turunen at the end of November 2005. During Anette's entire tenure with the band, Nightwish did not post ONE single solitary live performance video on their official KZfaq channel. Hmmm? Curious? At the end of this Imaginearum World Tour (just a few months later!), (As Floor tells the story in an interview) the Band pulled both Floor Jansen and Troy Donokley aside and asked them to be official members of the band. Floor said both her and Troy both had tears in their eyes. Troy had been a guest musician with the band on such official videos like The Islander, but never an official member of the band. The rest as they say ... is history. CURRENT BAND MEMBERS • Tuomas Holopainen - keyboards, piano, is the primary musical composer for all arrangements Is also who formed the band, and is the leader of the group. • Emppu Vuorinen - All guitars (been with the band since its inception) - (His name is pronounced Ehm-poo) • Marko Hietala - bass, male vocals, acoustic guitar (very recently this year retired from public life) • Troy Donockley - uilleann pipes, tin whistle, low whistle, guitars, bouzouki, bodhrán, backing vocals • Floor Jansen - lead vocals (Floor is Nightwish current and THIRD Lead Singer) • Kai Hahto - drums (NOT APART OF THE BAND YET WHEN THIS CONCERT WAS FILMED - Kai was hand picked by the groups original drummer Jukka Nevalainen to replace him when he had to stepped down for medical reasons listed below. Kai is a personal friend of Jukka’s, as well as was Jukka's drum teacher) FORMER BAND MEMBERS SEEN IN THIS CONCERT AT THE WACKEN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL FROM THE YEAR 2013: • Jukka Nevalainen - drums ( original drummer from 1997-2014 and is who you see playing drums in this concert at the Wacken Open Air Festioval Show from 2013. He had to step down for severe medial reasons, and handpicked his replacement. Jukka nearly died from a period of 2 straight years of severe insomnia, and had to be hospitalized because of it. Even though he stepped down as drummer, according to Toumas, he is the CEO of the Nightwish Corporation now. So he is still very much a part of Nightwish.) Other Former Band Members NOT seen in this video: • Sami Vänskä - bass (1998-2001) • Tarja Turunen - vocals (Nightwish FIRST Singer for the first 10 years of Nightwish existence from 1996-2005) • Anette Olzon - vocals (Nightwish SECOND singer, from Sweden, from 2007-2012) These are songs I would recommend to listen to: 1. Poet And The Pendulum - This is one of the corner stone songs for this band. I would RESEARCH THIS SONG BEFORE REACTING TO IT. I would also not do this one right away, I would build up to this and get a few Nightwish songs under your belt before doing it. As stated above Floor Jansen is their THIRD Singer. Their first singer sang entirely in the operatic syle and was named Tarja Terunen. She was Nightwish Singer for TEN YEARS. Her last concert was THE END OF AN ERA concert filmed the end of November of 2005. Immediately after the conclusion of the END OF AN ERA concert Tarja received a letter called "The Open Letter" from the band telling her they were parting ways with her. Poet And the Pendulum is about the emotional heart wrenching experience of events that lead up to that decision, and the backlash from fans after ward. SO this song is extremely INTENSELY emotional. Doing your reseach into this before hand will help you understand why the song is so emotional and why it was written in 5 acts like it was. Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6uqjbV-2c7MiIk.html 2. Greatest Show On Earth - I would RESEARCH THIS SONG BEFORE REACTING TO IT. I would also not do this one right away, I would build up to this and get a few Nightwish songs under your belt before doing it. This song is about the creation of the universe, the big bang, and evolution. Be ready because this is a 20 min thrill ride that only feels like 3 or 4 minutes long. This one in particular will show off both her dynamic range and ability to change styles in a song, like Ghost Love Score. I think you might want to look for the Tampere Finland Show because it has FIREWORKS coordinated with the music. Also, I think its a good idea to look for the Tampere Finland show with lyrics, so you can follow along with the lyrics, as there is a lot to take in for this one. Look for the one with Lyrics and Fireworks both. Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNJmn7iXrrPPd4E.html 3. Ever Dream - my absolute all-time favorite Nightwish song. The most high energy song they’ve ever done in my opinion. I think Wembley Arena show is the best one. Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z76ZZ9FpybDHdmw.html 4. Romanticide - Be prepared because this is one of their heavier songs, and Floor and Marko both do some singing in this, and this one is an amazing thrill ride of a song. Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sOCParJ0qLfQiKc.html 5. Elan - (this is an extremely up beat high energy song that just leaves you feeling good). Again Wembley Arena is a great one to react to. Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsmnpdqDsLbFdZs.html 6. Alpenglow - (this is JUST a feel good song. And again, this was such a fun song in the Wembley Arena Show). Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNh6qa6Ls6vMZ5s.html 7. Nemo (Nemo is from a Latin word which means no one or nobody. It is about a time in Toumas life when he felt his direction in life was aimless, and without real direction. It’s an awesome song and a HUGE favorite of long time fans. This song was originally written during the Tarja Era). Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrhhmqtmxre7cok.html 8. Stargazers (this one is an OLD Nightwish song, and is sung almost entirely in an Operatic style, so if you wanna hear Floor sing Opera in a Metal song, this is the one to listen to. I would do this from the DECADES TOUR). Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hM51qKSBvtPDhZs.html 9. Yours Is An Empty Hope (Maybe do this one from the Tampere Finland Show. Be prepared because behind Marcos vocals on the chorus, is Floor growling. You read it correctly, yes she really CAN do everything!!). Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtqIpLh_p57eook.html 10. 10th Man Down (this is from the singers era, but Floor nails it perfectly.) Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ht5hjK1hqsqycX0.html 11. Last Ride Of The Day - I would do this from the Wembley Arena Show . This song was the second to the last song for the Wembley Arena Show from the Vehicle Of Spirit Blu-ray/DVD. It is simply one kick ass song. Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecqWm62e0MC2kok.html 12. 7 Days To The Wolves - This is another kick ass song, and I would do this from the Wembley Arena Show. Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtyjmdpytci7iJc.html

You bloody rock mate. Nightwish rocks ....Taranaki, New Zealand rocks

To get ready for Poet and the Pendulum check out a bit more from Tarja and maybe a few from Anette, to understand the change in the band that happened and to what the fans and media reacted to. Then if you read about the open letter, media reaction (in Finland in particular) and Tuomas's interviews regarding the 2005 events and the album Dark Passion Play which all of those events lead into (where the Poet at the Pendulum is from)

BIG FAN

If you enjoy Toumas’ facial expressions you should watch “She’s my Sin” from the same show. He really shows his emotions and how he is feeling about the music. You can also see how much he admires Floor and what she does. When you hear these songs with Floor you are hearing them the way Toumas envisioned when they were created. You can see that in his face. He has said in an interview that he has been a long time fan of Floor. Also... if you want to see Jukka spin his sticks while playing check out “Amaranth” and I think he does it in “Nemo” as well. Just some fun facts. Keep it rocking and keep it heavy. 🤘🤘

Yes wait longer. Discover more. Grow 1 more cm of your beard. Then You ready.

So few people react to Alpenglow and it makes me wonder why, it's legit one of my favourite songs. Just find the official live one they posted not terribly long ago. It's such a happy get you in a good mood song. Also The Islander - Live at Tampere really shows off Marko's singing ability if you wanna check that one out too~

Oh happy happy tijd. Grote glimlach hele nummer.

6:10 6:18 The time traveller guy is still there.

Yep, my Happy song since late 2011 :-D

I don't think anyone have problem with you pausing, as long as you just go back 5 sec. or so, that way we will still get the flow of the Song,

I mean... Jukka is actually doing something. remember he has a click track in his ear. he's feeling that timing before jumping in.

we gonna finish it again fuck it now that is appreciation for good music subscribed

Kai is amazing drummer, he's like a stone mountain in stormy sea of music. Jukka was the music.

Please don't excuse your talking trough it, that's the charme of it and your exitment is infectious. Amazing beard and lovely greetings from Germany.

2:51 Emppu was not angry just a silly face. He is a joker .
