Hello Spouse Reacts ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing at Wacken Open Air in 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K+ audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. As I saw, you liked the powerful performance of the band. Hope you'll continue on this path. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory): "Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sOCParJ0qLfQiKc.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z76ZZ9FpybDHdmw.html "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptybjNqAr8Czfok.html "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orelaLSbzsqsh5s.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZ51Zq9ozM2wfYE.html​ "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZpuVnNeVkqulZn0.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdx_d5mpysnUmGg.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odShmKxplZ2-nI0.html​ "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pryAh7h2vJe0dYE.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNVoocZ8xJvPqpc.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hM51qKSBvtPDhZs.html​ "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNh6qa6Ls6vMZ5s.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orqmjMl9xpq7nJ8.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/radkZ9ebxraZnmQ.html​ "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqh_l8qpz8iUm4E.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qphmpcKnpr-1YIU.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7RiZpyBx9fGmqM.html​ "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtyjmdpytci7iJc.html​ And if you want to be surprised by Floor's vocals :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etunjJSVkrGto6c.html @Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or this version of the whole concert: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/maenp92anLeXcp8.html Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)

I just got back home after a heart transplant operation, and I was convinced that I would never hear the Valkyrie Goddess again. I'm in tears, I'm in exastsy. Nightwish is LIFE.

It's quite sad that Nightwish gets compared to "background music" when there are very very little singers that could hold a candle to Floor Jansen..

Definitely not a short simplistic Americanized song with all its time signature changes and multiple singing styles employed, it's like a fine, expensive, complex French wine, it's not for everyone.

fools youve just listended to the best singer in the whole of history

Fellow Nightwish Army recruits, you need to chill a bit and let people react how they react and think what they think. Just because we all love Nightwish, doesn't mean everybody else does. And to be perfectly honest, they were very respectful, they just said they aren't in to the type music the song was which is very understandable. Let's not stain the Nightwish fanbase reputation with ill-willed comments. Rock on everybody! 😊

You guys are such a cute couple but man, did you miss the mark here. This is the greatest band in existence.

I literally was crying the first time I heard this; so powerful, beautiful and emotive. A fantastic piece of music! So epic!

Let's keep in mind that your ear is not accustomed to the complexity of the music that is put out by many of these European bands. Fortunately for us, they're not limited to producing three minutes of pablum to satisfy the dumbed down requirements of the American music industry. What that means for you though is that it will take multiple passes through these songs before you can start to appreciate what is happening. Typical pop songs are played in one key, 4/4 time signature and follow the typical verse, chorus, verse, chorus structure. That didn't happen here. Music pros listening to Ghost Love Score have picked out lots of interesting things and here's a sampling of what they found. The song did not follow traditional pop music structures, instead borrowed from classical music. The song frequently shifted time signatures to change the feel. In just the intro they were in a 6/8 to 5/8, then they transitioned to a 4/4, 3/4 and then onto a straight 4/4 in half time. That's all before Floor Jansen started to sing. Another pro found that they used five keys and transitioned between them 16 times during the song. This is like classical music played by a metal band. All that to say - you'll need more than one listen to appreciate what this song is about.

So what is your cup of tea ? If you want heavy try Romanticide at this concert or Storytime or Song of Myself. Don't dismiss this band over one song as you are missing so much talent. And if it's Disney you're into this singer, Floor Jansen. has recorded a cover of Into the Unknown from Frozen 2 and Let it Go from Frozen. Plus she performs a killer version of Shallow.

this was not a reaction video but a Zombies watching video.

Hi, thank you for reacting to Nightwish. I think you can't judge them just by listening to this song once. This is one of those songs that gets better if you listen to it more than once. Also, there is a huge variety in their song catalog. They have really heavy songs too, as well as celtic sounding songs, beautifull ballads and more. You'll get something different with every song. So don't write them off just yet, they probably have songs you'll love. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Welcome to Nightwish !! I heard you talk about Frozen lol well this woman did 2 covers Let it Go , Into the Unknown for her daughter and both are awesome, more Nightwish please 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼

Intresting, i have seen surely more than 100 reactions of Ghost Love Score, but you are the first who was bored...

1. Band is from Finland, singer is from Holland. 2. it is Wacken, the biggest Metal festival in Europe (Germany) 3. Appreciate your honest opinion, I think it is phenomenal. I am a musician myself I can say their music is so fascinating and challenging. Constant rhythm changes, transitions///like a symphony. 4. Please change your thumbnail, because you both look stunned on that picture, not bored. I don't like click bait that much.

Nightwish Army New York here. No two songs sound the same. You want something a little heavier try listening to Romanticide from this same show. Or maybe Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, or I Want My Tears Back, both of these from their Buenos Aires live show. If none of them do it for y'all, then I guess symphonic metal is just not for you.

Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! NEITHER OF YOU WERE READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!

This is a masterpiece .

Their lead singer Floor has actually made made a cover number of the frozen.

You are right: this is not actually a song, it is a score. 😁

A) This isn't necessarily a typical song - most are shorter, B) Two songs are LONGER, C) This concert had 80,000+ people, D)An accent - yes, like you have an accent (a strong one - and I'm an American)

I thought it was pretty cool! Seems sorta like Pirates of the Caribbean ...very different...singer has tons of charisma!!!!! Thk I'm crushing on her...lol💞

If it's not your cup of tea, it's not your cup of tea. As a Nigtwish fan since 1997, I appreciate your recognition of the world-class musicisnship on display here but I will say this: now that you have stumbled upon Nightwish, you have a rear opportunity to explore a world of music that is (in my opinion) head and shoulders above the maistream crap we hear eveywhere these days. Every song (litterarily every song) has its own charachter and art expression and a deapth of lyrics coupled with with selfless and generous servitute to what the song needs not what their ego needs. Every chord, every note, every hand gesture, every interlude and every break-down are meticulously thought of and planned and expertly executed on stage. Their live shows are once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I am 55 years old and every time they make me feel 18 again. Please, do yourselves a favour and take the Nightwish journey with an open mind. I promiss you, it is well worth it. Cheers. P.S. Gabriel should be here anytime now to give you the roadmap to this journey...

Singer's name is Floor, check out Floor's cover versions of frozen. Check out The Poet and the Pendulum. And also Storytime.

I hope whoever mic'd those drums got a raise cause DAMN!

Megan / Logan....Thank you for your honest reaction. " Not my cup of tea", Hmmmm...The first time I tasted wine, I didn't care for it at all. That changed ! Have been enjoying vino for 50 years. LOL. I'm asking you to try another sip. They don't have 3 minute radio friendly songs. They have many shorter than GLS. NW Army will name a few for you. Hope to see another reaction ( sip ) soon. Be well.

Floor Jansen is one of my favorite singers. She's actually Dutch. She can sing almost any style of music. Check out some of her performances from the show Beste Zangers - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5xoo8hlxsWdqp8.html

A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe - and I think it's completely understandable that you are not into Nightwish music. In the US, you don't have Symphonic Metal, which is the merge of symphony and metal music. Complexed compositions with deep poetic lyrics, often created in chapters like symphony music, and written in layers - all the ensure that the audience gets an experience of each song. And you can't tell a deep story in 3 - 4 minutes, which is the max in the US (your music, radio and TV are money driven, and the investors need as many songs as possible pr hour). In the rest of the world, Symphonic Metal is huge, because of the phenomenal musicians, compositions and singers - with Nightwish being the top of the range. Tuomas (keyboard) is a known as "the Metal Mozart", and that is not wrong. Floor Jansen is the most versatile, powerful and talented singer in this century, that's also a well-known secret - she is unique. But that being said - music is individual taste, and many people prefer lighter digestible music and storues, that won't grab their attention too much - music and stories you can sing along on and be happy to sing along on. Nightwish / Symphonic Metal is designed to give experiences - and it is by far the best as live music - not the studio versions. And to do this, you need the absolute top of the top of musicians and singers. Like in: "Sleeping Sun" - Tampere 2015 - a beautiful ballad about the Solar Eclipse in 1999 - Floor spellbinding 24.000 people in trance. Or "Kiss while your lips are still red" - Wembley 2015 - a sweet duet of a love song and Troy on E-bow to enhance the experience. Or "The Poet and the Pendulum" - Wembley 2015 - a journey through a deep personal depression - a masterpiece of music, that only Nightwish and Floor can do Justice. Or party songs like "Alpenglow" (Tampere 2015) or "I want my tears back" (Buenos Aires 2018) - Floor goes crazy with the South Americans in a giant party. Nightwish have it all - but it will never be everyone's cup of tea. 👍 Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 🤘🤘

Dig deeper into Nightwish and your “cup of tea” will overflow. As Americans, we don’t get much opportunity to hear anything like this on the radio. Good music s good music, and this band is fantastic. Keep going, you won’t be disappointed 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Hubby - headbanging all the way! This was amazing! 🤘😁 EXCEPT... apparently, I actually hate it and never want to hear it again. 🤷‍♀️ 😂😂 Wifey - I just hope my smile hides my internal torture. 😬😂 LOL!! Too funny, you guys...

Hai guys!, thanks for checking out nightwish! Floor jansen the lead singer also did some music on her own and maybe "shallow" or " winner" she did on "de beste zangers" show from the netherlands is something you good like!

I've seen a few other reactors say that this wasn't their cup of tea. However, if you stop here you will miss out on some really great songs. This was a medium Metal song. Half the songs in their repertoire are Heavy Metal. You already know that the band and singer are world-class. The 82,000 fans at the concert know that too. Here's a heavier (and shorter) song from the same concert.😀🤘 Romanticide: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sOCParJ0qLfQiKc.html ...OR, you mentioned Frozen. Well guess what? Floor recently did a cover of that in her home studio. She poured just a little metal sauce on it to spice it up. IMO it's better than the original. Into the Unknown from Frozen II: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtKAoqaWmqnbo3k.html

Fair enough reaction. Everyone can’t like everything.

Nightwish is the most rewarding rabbit hole in music. Even if this wasn´t your cup of tea, they have so many other styles and sounds to offer. If you continue down this rabbit hole it could well be life-changing as it was for me. All the best to you both.

Hello from the Netherlands . the singer is the DUTCH Floor Jansen. Floor does a lot more than just this. and this was a music score too huh. for Disney-esque storytelling : Storytime wacken live 2015, for POWER singing : Ever Dream Live wacken 2013, for a growling angry mama bear : Yours is an Empty hope live at Wembley arina 2015 . and then you have her covers of Frozen 1 and 2 ( for her daughter ) . the Acoustic covers of Alone by Heart , how's the heart by Nightwish . the Best singers 2019 episodes with the beginning with the "Vilia song" and the end with Floor Jansen & Henk gate with Phantom of the opera, and then her covers during the corona measures recorded in her home studio of well-known songs

Your selfcritic is on point! Here comes some constructive criticism. These are the things you should not change: - Making us know how much you know about the band/song. Even with other upcoming songs. - The sound on your talk and the music. Levels are nice. - Going in blind (except 2 songs of Nightwish.... TPATP and TGSOA) - Lightning and background is good. Now to what you can, and almost must do, improve to make the channel grow: - Headspace. 1/3 of your screen is "unused". Lower the camera and then enlarge the screen to let us experience it with you. - Visual engagement (wife) - Do NOT have the lyrics up when you react. It takes the focus away from what we want to see a reaction to. We don't want to see you read lyrics. That can be done before or after. - Pausing one time to give "halftime" review is not annoying. - Giving it 10 out of 10 and not wanting to listen to it again, just makes no sense. How can we compare your score with other songs that you appreciate ( 10/10 ) and want to listen to again? - You can manage without drinking for 16 minutes. That takes away your focus and is annoying to see. This is just an attempt to help and you don't have to listen to anything of my suggestions. It's just 1 person's opinion. Much Love to both of you 💙💛💙

Fair enough. Appreciate your honesty. Nice to see in a reaction. I have to say however that this is one song out of more than 20 years of music creation by Nightwish. They have a broad range of styles in their songs. You really owe yourself a listen to at least of couple more of more songs. I'm 67 years old, and have been deep into music since the 50s (my Mom used to work at Capital Records so we always has music playing). Nightwish is easily the best band, making the best music, since the turn of the century.

Wacken 2013 starring Nightwish and co-starring the 80,000 is..wow!! The energy this band always creates with their crowd connection is incredible!! Welcome aboard 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 every time . Sensory overload….and Floorgasms..NW style!!

Hi! Thanks for trying out Nightwish.It's not for everyone simply because it's not done pleasing radio stations in mind. Nightwish is not your typical fast food of music.Anyway: Props to you for finding it enjoyable and being respectful about it, paying attention even though It's not your cup of tea. Keep finding that music you'll like and I'll continue to other reactions.Thumbs up for you on this one.

Love love love Nightwish ♥️♥️

Nightwish is all over the place. Light and Heavy and Fast and slow. I think you both would like Storytime. Floor's classical voice here is actually pretty clear. Most new music is usually hard to understand...

New subscriber here! We'd love to see more Nightwish. This is one of the most diverse and talented bands around today....it isn't hyperbole to say that no two songs are alike. This is a rabbit hole well worth going down.

You should definitely go for Romanticide or Song of Myself! Same concert.

Floor Jansen the Queen of metal ❤️is a classically trained and a professional voice coach with at least 20 years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes, her previous bands After Forever, Northward, and Revamp and she was also featured in several Ayreon live shows and a Dutch reality show beste zangers 2019 and 2021, awesome 😎

Nightwish is amazing..... it grows on you

Good honest reaction guys. Get so tired of other reviewers being over dramatic and overly positive to gain subscribers and you never see them dislike a song. I love Nightwish but no-one else in my house does and that's their choice.

Flor actually did a cover of Let if go from Frozen

🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 One of my all time favorite bands and singers!!! I am a Floorshipper of Floor Jansen!!! And hello from Northern California!!!! 🤗❤✌🏼

Dude, are you sure your wife is alive?........lol

Floor Jansen (pronounced YAHN-sen) is the singer-- while the band is Finnish, she is a Nederlander, a classically trained soprano who is also, among other things, a voice coach and horsewoman (rides dressage.) You mentioned Frozen-- Floor has a killer KZfaq channel on which she does covers, two of which are from the Frozen films (and she blows away the originals.) And this is symphonic metal, btw, huge in Europe and S. America but just catching on finally in North America. Take a metal band, add a classically trained singer along with symphony and choral tracks.

Ok, firstly, thank you for coming and being viewed by us in the "Nightwish Army" May I just send you my links and just a bit about Nightwish band members during these unique experiences. :) Most of my links include lyrics embedded into each experience. :) Please enjoy these and I/We look forward to your reactions to these.....=D Welcome, to Nightwish. :) Here is my list for you......but first..... Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) who is actually Dutch and the 3rd of the bands lead singers. By the way....she is 6'1" and known as the Valkyrie Goddess. Marco - Bass and vocals (wait until you hear him sing with Floor and solo....) This band is going to rock your world dude.

Nightwish band is from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen keybordplayer,songwriter,composer.

I hope you will react to more Nightwish. They are so talented and all their music is so diverse and yet easily recognizable. I'm sure there's some of their music that is more in your tast.

Thanks from Colombia, Welcome to Nightwish

Great reaction. Floor Jansen is a vocal athlete with incredible range, versatility, vocal stamina, and stage presence. She is a spinto soprano with a range of almost four octaves (D3-G#5-F6). When listening to her sing, it is apparent that she has spent the better part of her life fine-tuning her instrument with help from several vocal coaches. Floor can sing in multiple languages and genres and is a Master vocal coach. It is incredible how she is able to take any song from any genre and make it her own. This woman is a true gift to her craft and an incredible addition to a band that has always been great until 2013 when they officially hired the undisputed Queen of Metal, Floor Jansen, making Nightwish the greatest band on the planet. Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Nightwish Army U.S.A. 🇺🇸🤘🏽 ( Urban Operators ) in the house.

Maybe you just not get the flow yet, so it feels too long,,, because this is not ordinary song to hear. Once you know, you will feel it's too short. Nightwish is very special for their unusual song structure & this is one of their masterpieces. I suggest to listen to the song again & get the flow, you will never regret it.

WOW!! Never listen to it again??? Wacken (Vokken) is a prestigious event and thus was an amazing performance. WOW!!

Something shorter? Storytime kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptybjNqAr8Czfok.html Or Yours is an empty hope (a bit growls for wife) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etunjJSVkrGto6c.html 🤘😁🤘

Every one of there songs are different. From heavy metal to Ballet. Floor Jensan is arguably one of the best vocalist today. You may enjoy more of her solo vocals or on the show Beste Zangers. (Best Singers) also there Bass players vocals are incredible. Check out their tribute to Pink Floyd. High Hopes. Or the Islander. And Kiss while your lips are still red. You will be impressed. Again every one of their songs are different it's hard to judge them on your first listen to a song that you didn't really care for. I hope you decide to take another listen.

Hello Spouse Reacts Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. Watch out for the Nightwish Army.

She actually does a cover of Let it Go from Frozen for her daughter, Freya.

How ironic you bring up Frozen. Floor Jansen has done a cover version of the Frozen song "Let it Go" and from Frozen II, "Into the Unknown".

Hahahahaha the rabid Nighwish fanclub just hit a wall with them :D

perhaps if you had heard storytime from the same show would possibly have been a better introduction to Nightwish for you as it has a more traditional style rock structure. by the way Floor has done a couple of frozen covers. Oh and no she doesnt have an accent, she speaks better English than some native English speaking people. Opera or classical singing, yep she can do that too.

This song is one that usually gets recommended first for Nightwish and first time reactions can be that it great but not what they would listen to regularly, but the more songs you hear from them they start to show their heavy metal style. Nightwish is fantastic and you guys should definitely try their more rocking songs like Romanticide, Song of Myself, Everdream, and Storytime from the same live Wacken 2013 show. Shorter songs that are more headbangers with Floor Jansen showing off her incredible windmill skills along with amazing vocals!!!

Well, Nightwish is not easy digestible, so you either love it or don´t care. Nothing bad here.

Not bad for a 12th song in their concert, sin,t It?

I don't know why most people are getting upset that they don't dig Nighwish. We need to remember that not everyone has great taste in music. After all someone has to buy the crap music that's out there today.

Thanks for the reaction and sharing your honest thoughts. Most Nightwish songs are around the 4-5 minute length, GLS is their 3rd longest. Some are heavier, some are ballads, some very folk/celtic driven so there is a really wide variety of music for you to listen to if you decide to continue your journey (plus 3 different vocalists with different styles during the bands life).

If you want to hear her do the freezer songs, she has them on her own channel that she recorded for her daughter kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z56jab2V26fKgZ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtKAoqaWmqnbo3k.html but she has performed with several good musicians both at gigs and at a Dutch music competition, so search for her name "Floor Jansen" and there are m

Private Marshall Nightwish Army reporting for duty. Glad you enjoyed it SR. There is so much more. This entire concert can be reacted to from the beginning, one song at a time. There are no bad songs and each one you hear is very different from the other. And each one will become your new favorite. That might sound ridiculous but we have seen it over and over again. This is a live band. This is a rarity that the live music is better than the engineered versions. Stick with live. General Gabriel should arrive to give you a road map and a history to help you on this most magical of journeys. A few of my suggestions outside of this concert venue, Yours is an empty Hope, Wembley. (The cruise ship video is not as good) How's the heart, Planet Rock Acoustic version and I want my tears back, Buenos Aires Argentina. Enjoyed your comments and Audio/Visual presentation. Welcome to the world of Nightwish.

This Nightwish show at Wacken Open Air 2013 is legendary good. Nightwish are a very tight band and their singer Floor Jansen (aka "the Valkyrie Goddess") from the Netherlands is probably the most versatile vocalist in metal (and almost all other musical styles, maybe you want to check out her performances for the Dutch TV-show Beste Zangers 2019). She is classicaly trained and can sing in an operatic style but also knows how to do deep growls. Almost 95% of Nightwishs music and lyrics are written by the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen (aka "Metal Mozart"). In 2013 there were 82.000 people attending on that evening. At the time of this show in August of 2013 Floor had been with the band for just 10 months after she stepped in for the previous vocalist Anette Olzon from Sweden who got sick and couldn't continue Nightwishs Imaginarum World Tour. Just shortly after this concert Floor was officially announced as the new permanent singer of the band (together with the second new member: British multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockly who wasn't on stage for this song). Some info about this metal festival: It takes place every August on cattle pastures nearby the village of Wacken (pop.: 2000) in northern Germany. It was founded in 1990 where 6 local bands played for 800 visitors. Over the years it grew and got more international. They had to limit the official tickets to 75.000 and were sold out every year since 2010. In 2019 there were people from 84 countries listening to 200 international bands performing on 9 stages on these three festival days. It has a very peaceful atmosphere and feels like a family gathering after a long time of not seeing each other, even if it is just your first time there. Unfortunately it had to be cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. The next festival is planned for August 4th to August 6th 2022. The flaming bullshead is the symbol of W:O:A (Wacken Open Air).

Hey guys, that smile on your face after this song, it made me smile too. Wellcome to the world of Nightwish. Enjoy your journey with amazing music.

She is not bored..she is realizing that she had missed out on such good music and probably listened to shit music all these years

You should watch Floor Jansen do Shallow. Shows how versatile she is. And her doing Phantom of the opera is amazing as well.

That was 13th song on a 15 song set....

Yep. Tell me an American band that plays better and sings better than this live. With so many voices chest and open belt voices. Non

A M A S T E R P I E C E which you, BOTH, will like, one fine day...please watch more of these fine and warm, extremely talented people from Finland, from The Netherlands and from The U.K., that formed a band which is beyond anything but mainstream...even stronger said: a band which is so unique and so human, you BOTH couldn't imagine. One fine day you will love them as millions do...cheers and cheerio from The Netherlands!

Thank you for being honest in your reaction, stay true to the world. I'm a hardcore NW fan and I loved your honesty the most in your reaction. Much love from the Nightwish Army ❤

Welcome to the nightwish army!!!!

Floor!!!!❤

okay .. i have subscribed ... y'all look like a nice couple ... Nightwish is awesome .. Bless The Child .. is a good one from the same concert ..

Yes she has done opera. Oh mio babbino caro (tiende van tijl 2013).

This song is a musical score, so a piece of music in several sections. I think a song you might like better by them would be I Want My Tears Back, Live in Buenos Aires kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdp_hcqoq-DMZp8.html. This is a fun song where the whole crowd goes crazy. A similar band that you may like is Amaranthe. They are a europop/metal band. Try their song Amaranthine kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ep6ciZSF1JPDlok.html.

Maybe Everdream from the same live 2013 could be a nice cup of coffee for you. :)

I can totally see why this exact song is not for all. It's just so different compared to everything else. However I hope you guys give them another chance. Everdream or Storytime are usually the ones that get people going. They are constructed a bit more traditionally but still shows how amazing group of musicians these people are.

00:56 the "W" pronounces as a "V," so it’s "Vah-kin." 11:25 that was the Floorgasm, and the first time I heard it it knocked me out!! Her name is Floor Jansen (the J pronounces as a Y) so it’s Yawn-sin. Floor is a smiling, singing, dancing, enchanting, stage commanding Valkyrie Goddess, and to me at least, a gift from above. Seeing the whole video of this concert, Especially the Floorgasm changed my life. It made me start listening to music again. To each his own, but …… 🤷🏼‍♂️ 💙💙💙All Hail Floor !! 💙💙💙 Infantryman-Nightwish Army. US Regiment. Kentucky Battalion RIP Ann Waychoff-Commanding General-Nightwish Army

Great reaction video dudes. I like how even though you're not fans of this type of music, which is known as Symphonic Metal, you still were honest and acknowledged that talent of the musicians in the band as well as Floor Jansen's vocals. As you two said yourselves not everyone is going to like same types of music, and yet at same time you two have no problem with saying someone or a band has talent. I can definitely respect that, and can also appreciate you giving your honest opinion. But my rambling aside, again great reaction video dudes.

Floor, the main singer, dose fantom of the opera on a TV show. That would be worth a watch.

You have her cover of Frozen, you're welcome.

Surprised you don't know the name of the Dutch Valkyrie Goddess Nightwish Frontwoman Floor Jansen.Truly one-of-a-kind Coloratura Soprano Vocalist. Try; Song Of Myself(2nd half is badass headbanging) Dead Boy's Poem Storytime(Disney/Peter Pan theme) Romanticide Hopefully some of those songs will impress your wife.. All are from this concert Wacken(Vahken)Open Air in Germany 2013.

Don't give up on this yet. Try a few more. Every song is different. And if you're into frozen, listen to Let It Go, a Disney song that Floor Jansen, the lead singer of Nightwish covered for her daughter. She also covered Into the Unknown, Frozen 2.

Loved your reaction. Welcome to the universe of nightwish. Btw, you should check out the comment of Gabriel Bardac under this video made 3 days ago. It will be much helpful to you regarding nightwish.

Dark Chest of Wonders...or anything Nightwish!! All their songs are amazing. Hope y'all continue down the rabbit hole.

This was the 13th song of a 15 song set. Check out ( same concert ), Romanticide, Storytime, Dark Chest of Wonders, since you mentioned Frozen, Check out Floor Jansen version of Frozen, and Phantom of the Opera on Besta Zangers a European professional singing competition which Floor was on. Nightwish Phantom of the Opera with The original singer. Floor can sing anything from Opera to Heavy Metal. Storytime, Romanticide Ghost River or any of the 11 songs at Wacken are phenomenal. Revamp ( Floors Jansens previous band) shows she loves Metal and is her genre, Check out live at Graspop 2010, Distain, Trial of Monsters, or Millions, keep in mind she wrote most of the songs.Get ready for the Nightwish army to invade your channel with suggestions. This old metal /rock head fan of Nightwish believes you won’t regret exploring this amazing band. Stay Safe Rock On!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

You expected her to scream and the band to be heavier? Well, they do that too. Then again, if you like songs like you hear them everywhere (intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, maybe a bridge and then another chorus, and definitely not longer than 3 minutes), forget about them.

They should have started you guys out with something shorter and catchier. Either "Everdream" or "Storytime" from this same concert would have been a better start. Also, most Nightwish fans wandering around KZfaq seem to be okay, but there's definitely a vocal minority that are little bitches if you do anything other than gush over the band. Ignore the bitches...

Hahaa, the Nightwish army collided with the same wall that Finnish fans almost 30 years ago.😂😂 too much, too strong, too high and too deep ... but in those depths grew one small wish. A little nightly wish ... one day the rest of the world would understand ... 👍👍

Got to do "Romanticide" next.

Hi Nightwish Army UK popping in to say hi.. Great reaction. TBH the wifey showed expression and feeling during the song and hubby never twitched.
