Doin my time in Canada (Yes some parts get F'n hot as Hell in the summer, give up the stereotype) and let me tell you. Floor is a great listen when you're high. Always a good trip. Welcome to your first Floorgasm.

Hello Asia and BJ ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air festival 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience. Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, 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. 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 enjoyed the powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. Hope you'll continue on this path. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the 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. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .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) kzread.info/dash/bejne/rK6TmbF8c7TSiNY.html "Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqqfu9mIer21frg.html "Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals) kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4ydltBxlK3Jdps.html​ "Song Of Myself" live at Wacken 2013 (dark/metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/noWpl7Ojmceuh8o.html "Dead Boy's Poem" - live Buenos Aires 2018 (soulful ballad) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWx5la5wl8qyfbA.html​ "Ghost River" live at Wacken 2013 (metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/YmmZy9adXainZqw.html "Dark Chest Of Wonders" live at Wacken 2013 (metal, the greatest show opener ever) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaqDppixlcbWmJc.html "My Walden" live at Wembley 2015 (celtic / folk) kzread.info/dash/bejne/naKlx6txYJrAnLw.html​ "Sleeping Sun" live at Vizovice Masters of Rock festival 2016 (ballad) kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooqEtrd-h5S2dbA.html "The Islander" live at Tampere 2015 (Marco in charge..) kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKNs0MWEj5jRqsY.html "Stargazer" live at Tampere 2015 (operatic vocals / metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gJx516OJidDFhco.html​ "Alpenglow" live at Wembley 2015 (uplifting / metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKZ-2K2TfqjOZ8o.html "Sahara" live at Tampa 2016 (middle eastern vibe) kzread.info/dash/bejne/noiqu8iFkZe9nM4.html "Slaying The Dreamer" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/qXVoltajkbObnpM.html​ "I Want My Tears Back" live at Buenos Aires 2018 (celtic / folk vibe) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnaDxsmxmsWWm7A.html "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" live In Buenos Aires 2018 (metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmZq1MGvcby3YLQ.html "Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 (dark metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4JmlZuJktTImtI.html​ "7 Days To The Wolves" live at Wembley 2015 (dark metal) kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqqnyNl6gMW9iMY.html​ And if you want to hear Floor growling :) then try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" live at Mexico City in 2015 kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqmru5OdXa6vo9Y.html Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: kzread.info/head/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 ..)

The reason is that these songs have an emotional charge in my opinion hard to reach for those who do not know the band and do not yet have an emotional connection with them, and could have the effect of holding the reactors to continue the reactions to Nightwish. But I consider these songs true masterpieces, and that they should be promoted in the comments to reactors that are emotionally open to Nightwish already.

You guys have discovered a legendary band. They are off the charts on a level of their own. Their live performances are epic. Each band member is an amazing musician, and of course having a living legend leading the charge with her enchanting, mesmerizing, and hypnotic vocals doesn't hurt. The Nightwish army is storming your way. Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster ride.

Hello Asia en BJ. Well you just have met our Valkyrie Goddess!!. Her name is Floor (from Flora) Jansen (pronounce YAhn-sen). She is Dutch. At the moment of this concert she was only 10 month with the band. She stepped in halfway in the mids of the worldtour of Nightwish and she had to learn the setlist in 48 hrs. The band is Finnish. The keyboardplayer us Tuomas Holopainen and he writes 99% of their songs. He is our Metal Mozart. The bassplayer is Marko Hietala, he also sings but sadly he stepped back from the band at the beginning of this year. We all hope he is coming back. Emppu Vuorinen is the guitarist. On drums Jukka Nevalainen. He had to retire in2015 due to severe insomnia. He is still with NW but working in the organizing department. He is replaced by Kai Hahto, also a great drummer (we call him the human metronome). He and Jukka are very good friends. The sixth member is Troy Donockly, a Britt. He plays a great variety of instruments but he is famous for playing the UIlleann pipes (pronounce Ill-en), the Irish bagpipes. If you continue to react to NW you're in for a treat because their music is outstanding! This whole concert really is sublime! I think that Gabriel Bardac will find you in the comments. He will give you much more information. I hope you react to more NW. Enjoy the ride! Stay safe, greetings from the Netherlands! P.S.: My favorite is "Song of myself" from the same concert lol!

Greetings from Finland, the home of Nightwish and the northern division of the Nightwish Army. Our Valkyrie Queen just keeps on capturing new souls to her ranks. More please.

I'm totally aware of the fact that somebody in the nightwish army saw their reaction to jinjer and told them about the awesomeness of Nightwish.

A & BJ....Nice reaction, thank you. Glad you liked it. Gabriel will be here soon with a history lesson and a song list. The remainder of the Nightwish Army will stop by to say hello, Welcome and enjoy. BJ ..The drummer, Jukka ( Yukka ) beats the drums like they owe him money Her name is Floor Jansen ( Yansen ). Gabe will let you know.

This is one of the greatest live performances in history.

"Lituation" Love it. I have been fortunate to see Nightwish a few times. Everything you felt during this performance, multiply it by 10 and that's what a Nightwish show is like live. They are really down to Earth people. Real good people.

Please react to their song "I want my tears back" the live version. Anything by this band is epic. Floor Jansen (the female lead singer you watched) is a vocal force of nature. Her and Henk Poort (who performed as the phantom on stage for years in Dutch productions) dueting The Phantom of the Opera is a must as well.

She is, Queen Floor, the Valkyrie Nordic Goddess. The more you hear, the more you will want. This is just a small sample of what she is capable. You will see. They are all masters of their own chosen instrument. Listen to "Romanticide", ' I Want My Tears Back", "Ever Dream", Ghost River", "Song of My Self" to mention just a few. All this is at an outdoor concert.

A pure reaction is a Joy to watch.....)

Great reaction! Welcome to Nightwish Army. Gabriel is giving you the basic guide to follow-- please check out more of this amazing band. Symphonic metal is not something that's really taken off in the States as much as in Europe and South America (YET.) Floor by the way is Dutch, lives with her husband and daughter (and some horses) on a small farm in Sweden. YES she does have classical training, is also a voice coach, and is a wonderful soul all 'round. Oh and btw she IS almost 6'1 (6'4-6'5 in those stage heels) and there's a lot of power in this strong woman.

🔥🔥🔥 might as well hear a few more songs from this Nightwish concert lituation (Wacken 2013). Romanticide, Storytime, Dark Chest of Wonders, Ever Dream, Song of Myself would be a good few songs to get to know Nightwish better. Best live band on earth. And Floor is the once in a lifetime whole package type. ❤❤❤

80K people at Wacken for this concert. Jukka Nevalainen on drums - KING indeed! Nightwish has been around since 1996! Floor Jansen is their third singer. There are weasels in the Nightwish rabbit hole - for explanation check out the song "The Islander" from Tampere - sung by Marko Hietala who usually plays bass guitar...... The guy on guitar is Emppu Vuorinen! The guy on the keyboards is the writer/composer and his name is Tuomas Holopainen!........ In Memory of the Nightwish Army General and Den Mother, Ann Waychoff, who passed on last year - "What Ann Said"!

For your next Nightwish reaction try a song from another concert. "I Want My Tears Back" Buenos Aires 2018, (the title of the video says 2019, when the video was uploaded.) The Argentinian audience is great.

Asia is so entranced that she can't get her words out. I LOVE that. Nightwish is an experience. A beautiful one. Hope you react to more from them!

Great reaction! 👍🤘 Nightwish is a glorious rabbit hole of awesome, with world class song-writing, musicianship and arguably (or unarguably to most who've heard her enough😉) the best female vocalist alive today (maybe ever), Floor Jansen. Floor is the third female vocalist that Nightwish have had, she was only with them on tour for 10 months at this point and officially joined the band in 2013, she is still with them today. The other band members are - Tuomas Holopainen - Song writer/composer and Keyboards. (Finland) Marko Hietala - Bassist and vocals. (Finland) Emppu Vuorinen - Guitarist (Finland) Jukka Nevalainen - Drums (Finland) Troy Donockley - Multi-instrumentalist and Vocals. (United Kingdom) Floor herself is Dutch and is another glorious rabbit hole of awesome as she has a lot of non-Nightwish related stuff that she has done that is all pretty amazing as well. The name of the genre they generally belong to is Symphonic Metal but their discography is extremely varied. This was the 13th song in this particular set, she is belting notes like that the entire set. Nighwish are almost always better experienced with live versions of their songs if at all possible. Some suggestions for more songs for you to continue your journey would be Storytime, Ever Dream, Romanticide, Nemo, Amaranth and Song of Myself all from Wacken 2013. Saying that, anything from Wacken 2013 is golden really to start, there's a reason why that set is pretty legendary at this point, 82,000 people were in attendance. Beware of some messed up slowed down versions of the Wacken 2013 songs as they can take the energy right out of the performances, just check the comments on them and I'm sure someone will mention if it's a slowed down version. Your choice obviously but I'd avoid Poet and the Pendulum and The Greatest Show on Earth for now until you are more familiar with the band and it's history, they will make alot more sense and be more enjoyable for you that way. Enjoy your Nightwish journey, I know I did!😎🤘

Man, this song gives me goosebumps and makes me feel like I'm gonna freaking tear up EVERYTIME I watch this live version..and I'm a construction worker... try not to cry😢

Nightwish sounds best live! This whole band is the best of the best! Welcome to the Nightwish army! I hope you’ll continue down the rabbit hole with more songs. You’ll never be disappointed but always surprised! 😊💜🤘

Nice reaction! 😍🎶 Please try any song from this same Wacken 2013 live-show. Everdream, Song of myself, Storytime, Romanticide etc.🔥

Two more recruits to the Nightwish Army! Nice!

I always get the chills listening to Floor Jansen- never fails. Then add the rest of the band, and the visuals...You've been Floor'd!🤘

She had posted a video and I thanked her for the wonderful birthday gift! This Goddess wished ME a happy birthday! Omg I went fan girl! They truly love their fans. I CANNOT wait for their virtual concert at the end of this month!

and that was live!! Floor's vocal gymnastics never fail to amaze-- Dumbfounded and awestruck, again..

Thank you so much. Love to watch someone have their first Floorgasm. I loved that you did not just focus on Floor but the whole band. They are all fantastic and together they make magic. The base player (Marco) is also a trained singer. When he does harmonies with floor it is like listening to angels singing. Tuomas on the keyboard is the main composer. He composes all that super symphonic big sounds. Not many people in the world can do that. He could run a whole philharmonic orchestra if he wanted to. Actually Philharmonic orchestras around the world have played their music with choir and everything. They have been around for 25 years and are huge everywhere except the U.S, dont know why.

7:46 that's the thing about Emmpu... he is seriously one of the gnarliest, fastest, most on point guitarists in the world, but the way that Nightwish does their music, he always brings *just* enough to emphasize and lift the song as a part of the music, not show off just how technical and fast he is. If you want to see him absolutely shred, you need to watch Romanticide from the same Wacken concert :)

Asia and BJ, welcome to the Nightwish Army, if you choose to continue. Each song is as epic as this, (GLS ) is. Please use Gabriel's list to guide you in this awesome ride down the rabbit hole. Enjoy my friends.

Already subscribed, but for the record "Nightwish Army Texas division reporting in!". With that said, keep up the great reactions. Always enjoy yall's content.

Nightwish Army, Floor Battalion, reporting from the USA. We’re still coming to you! You summoned us with our Valkyrie Goddess of Metal. This is the first video I have seen on your channel, but I wanted to thank you for A) giving a good look at this song, and B) being open minded. You guys were very respectful to this song and this band. I know this band and this genre of music is probably a little outside your wheelhouse and your comfort zone, but you went for it anyway. Thank you! One of the greatest tragedies of this dispensation is how FEW people have ever even heard of Nightwish, let alone Floor and Tuomas (aka “The Metal Mozart”) and the rest of these guys….maybe that’s why we call ourselves the Nightwish Army-we’re trying to fight the world’s ignorance of Nightwish..??? Anyway, again, thank you both for being so great. I’ll def check out more of your content. Peace and Love, NWA

I just subscribed because of this reaction tonight wish. It was great. I hope you do more nightwish. Maybe more like romanticide or dark chest of wonders. They are both from the same concert.

Thank you so much for agreeing to react to Nighwish!!! Ghost Love Score is their top rated song. At this concert, Floor Jansen(Yansen) had just recently been invited by the Founder/keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen to replace the prior singer who had fallen ill. Nightwish had worked with her before so there was familiarity. This was the 2013 concert at Wacken(pronounced 'Vahken' Open Air in Wacken, Germany. There were 82,000 fans in attendance. Nightwish is a Finnish band and Floor is Dutch and yes she had attended a Dutch opera school and also private vocal training lessons in her youth. Floor had also been a competitive bodybuilder in her youth(she is 40 years old this year). She is a big woman at 6'!" 200lbs. Her hands are bigger than mine and I'm 6' 250! I suggest you react to ALL the Wacken songs but especially Romanticide, Storytime(about Peter Pan with the London Symphony Orchestra and its Children's Choir) and Song Of Myself. [BTW I liked subscribed and hit the black bell. Also, if you scroll down the menus you will see more black reactors on Nightwish songs so you good people are not alone.]

This had been from the Wacken concert (2013), with 82k people plus some change. Ghost love score had been the 13th of total of 15th songs this evening. Can you imagine the stamina she needs?

good one There is only One Floor The 6'1'' Siren/Angel/Valkyrie. That was the thirteenth song into the 15 they did NightWish and Floor never let up for a second. Same show try Story Time, Ever Dream, Song Of Myself, Romanticide et.

One of the greatest live performances ever! Floor Jansen is a Queen. Great review

Nightwish army member reporting in! Make sure you guys do not miss the live version Phantom of the Opera from 2005 (it's with a different singer). It will Blow. You. Away. Enjoyed the reaction :-)

Nightwish Army Chicago Brigade reporting! Your reaction triggered our sensors. You have discovered Nightwish with our Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen. Consider this: Ghost Love Score was the 13th song in a 15 song set, and they were just as powerful, fantastic, and fresh as they were in their opening number. I hope you will continue reacting. I really enjoyed you two because the fact that you both enjoyed the music came through clearly. You will see they have many rabbit holes to explore. They can headbang with the best of them, then they can get folky or do some ballads in the next breath! And I hope you will enjoy the Nightwish Army. We come from all over and represent a true United Nation of fans that love this group. Keep on rocking!

This is how you send pop divas back to school. An this was only about 20% of what she can do. Enjoy the ride. It's a long one

One of the greatest live vocal performances ever,you’ve just had a ‘Floorgasm’,saw this live at Bloodstock in 2018 blew me away 🤘🏻

Floorgasm achieved... guys you must watch Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth (watch it until the very end, credits and all)

Great reaction! Sometimes I long to watch this performance for the first time again ladt year. It put a spell on me and i was hooked on Nightwish (again.. i lost track of them when Tarja 'left' the band -first singer). Floor is awesome and such a sweet person.. #subbed :))

Nightwish Army Sweden did send some scouts to northern Germany. The word was spread and we ended upp with beeing 82. 000 at the Wacken festival, the biggest hard rock festival in the world with Nightvish as the main course. Wacken is cattle country, that is why you se a flaming bull. Welcome to nightvish army.

More Nightwish, please!!!

Every. Single.Time!! That ending is one of the best live performances of all time. Welcome to Nightwish!

i usually tell people that watch this performance that it's hard just thinking of it as a song, to me t's an experience. This performance is a 1 in a lifetime performance as a band, so many moving elements that need to come together to make a performance like this happen. Most bands can only dream of making such a powerful performance. And imagine being in the crowd witnessing the magic unfolding. Singers name is Floor Jansen

Nobody else on this planet comes anywhere near what this goddess and the rest of the Nightwish band can do

Asia and BJ Welcome to the World of Nightwish. Enjoy the ride.......

I like when people who listen other genres of music discover bands like Nightwish, because they realize how real music sounds.

Hi welcome to the nightwish army .hope u both good .yes great band been around over 25 years.to hear her voice at its best you hvevto react to nightwish devil and the deep dark ocean live buenos aires 2018. Glad u enjoyed it im steve in uk

Romanticide from the same show... Always a good one to follow GLS ;)

This song...wow I need to wacht this video several times a day

82k people can't be wrong ;) - you have opened Pandora's box. Be prepared for a loooong journey, you have seen and heard nothing yet! NW will blow your mind and you will always be surprised, song after song after song ... Gabriel is the best guide you can get. Just follow his ideas. And - great reaction! It is always a pleasure to see a first time reaction to NW and Floor Jansen. And yes, we all have tears in our eyes and goosebumps just listening to them.

Simply stated, just watch the rest of the Wacken 2013 show and you will definitely learn a lot about this band and Floor Jansen, the vocalist. I have been following the band and Floor both for over 20 years and they are still as mesmerizing as they were the first time I saw them. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. I have been waiting for the last year to see their new show that was canceled because of you know what but the tour is back on and I will be eagerly seeing them in October for the sixth time. Another good thing to know about this band is that they are all very humble and appreciate their fans. The first time I went to a meet and greet I thought it would be in and out in 2 seconds but no. Each and every member took the the time to thank me for being there and not once did I feel rushed or hurried in any way. Truly amazing people!!

This reaction was the first thing I listened to at work last night, got home and brought it up again to actually watch it as it was enjoyable hearing what you had to say, and happily hit the subscribe button! I appreciate reactors like yourselves as you help bring light to music not so well known in North America, Nightwish only has 4 US, 1 in Canada, shows planned. I was happy that you doubled back on the guitar solo! Emppu is a "tasteful" guitarist in that he plays what a given song requires, no BS showing off, he fits the songs with what they require to feel and flow. You mentioned Jukka, the drummer many times and how hard he hit the skins... Notice even Floor pointed to him at the end giving him props, he had a helluva work out! Marko on bass is a really good singer as well, but sadly wrote us all his (possibly temporary) resignation at the beginning of the year.. One band member, Troy, was not onstage as this song had no part for him to play sadly, even though he can play SOOO many different instruments and sing too! Yes Floor can sing opera, and growl as well, she is extremely versatile. On keyboard is the "Metal Mozart" mastermind behind it all, Tuomas Holopainen.

MY recommendations for your NEXT Nightwish vids are as follows: You mentioned headbanging? ;) 1) Storytime (Wacken 2013) 2) Song of Myself (Wacken 2013), 3) Romanticide (Wacken 2013), 4) Shudder Before The Beautiful (Wembley 2015), 5) Ghost River (Wacken 2013) 6) Ever Dream (Wacken 2013), , 7) Yours is an Empty Hope (Wembley 2015). TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE getting to "The Poet and The Pendulum" (Wembley 2015) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere 2015).

I'd also add at least a couple of Tarja-era songs before getting to The Poet and the Pendulum. Phantom of the Opera and Wishmaster from End of an Era are obvious choices; I also suggest The Siren and Planet Hell (End of an Era), Deep Silent Complete and Walking in the Air (From Wishes to Eternity), and for true baby Nightwish, Sacrament of Wilderness and Gethsemane from their Lista Chart tv performance from 1999.

@@MsCatstaff Hardly anybody reacts to Swanheart (live with band) which I consider to be Tuomas' most beautiful composition.

Thanks for reacting to Nightwish and and Miss Floor Jansen Queen of Metal... NYC. Here! Welcome You to the Nightwish family enjoy the ride... 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

The lead singer is Floor Jansen and she can sing in just about any style she wants to. You've yet to scratch the surface of what she can do so looking forward to seeing you guys check out more

I come back and watch this every few months. Love your channel, and your first time reaction to one of my favorite Bands! Thanks fam.

We were here A warm welcome from the Dutch army. I liked your reaction.

I loved your reaction . this is called Symphontic Metal , Nightwish is the band & the singer is Floor Jansen , on this night they were the headliner with 82,000 fans , As a new subscriber may I request the song "Storytime" from the same show Wacken Open Air 2013, Nightwish is best live always . PS Floor had only been with the band for 10 months at this point & she is still the current singer

New sub here! If you want Floors more rock sound try "Yours Is an Empty Hope" live at Wembely or Baltic Cruise, the bassist Marco also sings and this may pleasantly surprise you.

thank you for a great reaction

If you want to hear Floor singing operatically then watch Shoemaker, absolutely stunning.

welcome to Nightwish, and their performance at Wacken, 2013, the Nightwish Army will be here soon and we appreciate your Floorgasm hearing Floor Jansen, the third female singer that Nightwish has had. Floor is an amazing Dutch, now living in Sweden with her husband, classically trained vocalist who can singer classic, and metal , with Marko , the bass player and the magical Troy, who you will meet in other videos...welcome and hope you continue your journey...might want to listen the rest of the Wacken concert, with Storytime, Romanticide, etc... enjoy!!!
