Hello JohnReavesLive ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], 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. 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 [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was 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. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] 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 [pronounced Tarr-ya] (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 " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I just posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: kzread.infocommunity 🤘

@CatmanKelowna You must be joking. As a Nightwish fan from the very beginning, and a fan of the early Tarja material, she can't compete with Floor at all. She can only sing classical, that's it. If you have ever heard her try anything else it's a painful experience. Not everyone can be versatile and that's ok. I love those old classic Nightwish songs but Floor can do them just as well. In a way that I have never missed Tarja after the initial scare of Nightwish losing a singer. Add to that Floors seamless ability to switch between any style, rock, folk, or even growl, and you have to be deaf, or deranged to even suggest Tarja is on the same talent level. Further more Floors stage presence is phenomenal where as Tarja was present, but never engaging and controlling the audience. Even as a finn myself I can't wear such rose-tinted glasses.

Her presence alone is unbelievably captivating and heartpumping. And as people say, "singers sing what they can, Floor sings whatever she wants".

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming!

"Yours in an Empty Hope" is missing from that list.

You'll find that the Nightwish army recommends their live performances because they have Floor as the vocalist because she was a fill in during this tour. She was called over during the American part of the tour which was 10 months before this amazing concert and she came on board as the permanent replacement from their second singer, Annett, at the end of this World tour. She is their third singer and is able to sing any of their catalog. Their first singer was Tarja, who was more operatic, the second singer was Annett, who was a bit more poppy and didn't have the stage presents that Tarja or Floor have, and listening to the songs of her era is best from their music videos in my opinion.

Both are correct actually. When she got the first call, there was no urgency. She was just asked if she could - probably - fill in for the rest of the tour because Anette was pregnant and would not be able to perform later.

Nightlight. Saw them in Denver Co. May 15, 2022. Still rocken. Killer show.

Welcome to the LEGION of NIGHTWISH warriors!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Nice reaction. This is one of their most melodic/symphonic songs, but they are by no way limited to this. You'll find their catalogue filled with many different songs, from this song to very heavy. For a nice contrast listen to Storytime or Romanticide from this concert (Wacken 2013). Floor Jansen has many different styles of singing and even in one song she can change from one to another seemlessly. Enjoy your journey🤘🏽

How could you be a metal singer without any knowledge about Nightwish? You are a proper metal singer from now on :)

Floor just released her new solo song: INVINCIBLE.

No, that's not the end of the show. Welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal... Being symphonic metal allows them to take their music several different directions. This one is the longer epic experience. But they have several songs that are in the more traditional heavy metal style as well... and just about everything in between. They even have songs with a touch of that Celtic Rock kind of vibe. But no matter the basic style of metal they are going for, their songs will always have those signature symphonic and choral elements that give the music that incredibly rich, full sound. Enough of me, Gabriel and the rest of the Nightwish Army will be along soon to further guide you down the rabbit hole that is Nightwish.

Nightwish Army South Germany Division here Hello John ...Our Boss, Commander-in-Chief and General of the Nightwish Army Gabriel Bardac has already told you the most important things. It only remains for me to say a warm welcome to the wonderful world of symphonic metal and at the same time welcome as a new recruit to the ranks of the Nightwish Army. You've just seen and heard her, who is named by her fans worldwide in the sum of her honorifics in hundreds of React videos: This is Our Majesty Floor Jansen, First of her Name, Goddess of the Valkyrs, Highly Queen of the Vikings, THE Lady of Nightwish, the House Band of the Gods of Asgard, Chosen Ones of Odin ,Protector of our Metal Realm Long may she reign She raises her hand and commands an 80k+ crowd with her incredible presence and power. Just with a wave of her hand. A member of the Nightwish Army once said: The old gods of Asgard sent Floor Jansen down from the heavenly heights as their gift to Nightwish. They sent them armed with a sword in one hand and a microphone in the other. And yes, I personally believe that's how it happened. There is nothing more to say about this Greetings from Germany the lady PS Another tip for you: Also check out another video - Epica feat. Floor Jansen - Sancta Terra and Floor Jansen & Henk Poort with "The Phantom of the Opera" from the 2019 TV show "Beste Zangers".

A big welcome to the Nightwish Universe 👍 This was 10 minutes, that just open a door to Symphonic Metal, the merge of symphony and metal music. As you said - this is storytelling, and you are spot on. The stories are often complexed and written in chapters, always deep and poetic, often with quotes from scientists and writers like Darwin, Sagan, Darkins, Shakespeare etc etc. Tuomas (keyboard) are widely acknowledged as Metal Mozart - and the superhuman in front, Floor Jansen, are the most versatile, powerful, talented and skilled storyteller ever - and she has the stage charisma and presence to match. Not kidding!! You have only scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities - not even 10%. This Wacken 2013 concert is legendary, and the quick and easy way to go, is by doing their live versions of their songs - Nightwish are a true live band, feeding of the feed-back from the audience. Look out for Gabriel Bardac's comment and info. He has collected a lot of the best links / audio from the net, plus some background information. And please stick to these concerts: Wacken 2013 Wembley 2015 Tampere 2015 Buenos Aires 2018 Hellfest 2022 In this way you can also follow the evolution Nightwish have been going through, since Floor and Troy became permanent members in 2013. By the way - they don't have 2 songs that are alike - every song a new and different telling - but there are a red line in all of the them, especially after 2013 - The Evolution of the Earth, Human and the Nature / the Earth, the wonders of the Nature - and lots about human behavior, thoughts, technology. About Floor - she calls herself a voice nerd - she masters every known voice- and breath technique, and she developes her own!! Her ability to express emotions and passion are unbelievable and incredible powerful - you will experience down the road! Again - a big welcome to the Nightwish Universe, from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 🤘

When you get a suggestion from the Nightwish Army it should include the song name and the live performance that they request it from. I will caution you that many of the older live performances from the older shows, people have gone in and tried to re-encode the video to proclaim it as HD.

Nice reaction to the point. Yes she can growl (yours an empty hope from Wembley 2015). Emppu the guitarist can shred.(Romanticide Wacken 2013), all that depending on the song. For more not expected Nightwish songs follow the list from Gabriel. This was song nr 13 on the setlist, 2 to follow.

Lmao I was about to give you hell for liking this as much as you did, but not following up with any other Nightwish stuff, then I saw you did this 2 hours ago. Forgiven. 😃 No, this wasn't the final song on the setlist at Wacken 2013, that was "Last Ride of rhe Day." Floor is Nightwish's 3rd singer, she had been with the band a bit more than 6 months at the time of this concert, it was the first time most of the 80k people in that crowd had heard her sing. It was the first time any of them had heard anyone do that A♭5 she absolutely NUKES at the end, that wasn't a part of the Studio version, she added it in rehearsals when touring South America about 2 months into her tenure. I'm sure Gabriel will be along shortly to give you a good roadmap for where to go next, it's a good map. Welcome to the Nightwish Army.

welcome to NightWish and our Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen, all the artist are masters of their chosen professions that have come together to form something special, come down the rabbit hole that is NW, the Goddess may call you to battle, send shivers down your body, or bring out the tears, and on occasion bring out the demon, but it is a journey you will enjoy 👍👍🤘🤘

Nightwish runs in a lane of their own.Roadtrip pack a lot of snacks!!

Hello and welcome to the Nightwish family (Army). You just listened to our Queen Floor. She’s a very talented and special lady. You will find out that Nightwish members “ although very talented “ are not show offs. They deliver what the song demands. I have subscribed and hope that you will continue on this journey called Nightwish. Greetings from Alabama 😎 .

Welcome to Nightwish n Lead Vocals of Floor Jansen the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal .

Great reaction and greetings from Finland. The northern division of the Nightwish Army reporting. This Nightwish concert (with over 82 000 people) was from Wacken Open Air, Germany. It's one of the largest annual rock/metal music festivals in the world. - More Nightwish and our Valkyrie Queen please. Just follow the list on Gabriel's channel. Those are the best Nightwish song versions in KZread.

Could u believe, that almost all of their songs are composed by one man alone? The master mind behind all of this is their keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen. Humbly also known as "Metal Mozart". The further you'll dive into this rabbit hole called Nightwish, the clearer you'll understand whence the title. Buckle up, fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride!

I saw them in Wembley Arena two days ago. This was their second-to-last song. The last song was even longer 😂

Saw them live in Amsterdam on Sunday, absolutely phenominal show, A must see live band.

Seeing our Valkyrie Goddess steal another soul never gets old, welcome to the NW army good sir and may your stay be a f'kin rocking one :D

Dude, Nightwish is another animal. Gabriel's list is best to explore through and not get overwhelmed

Hi Steve. I'm new here but I'm happy to see you getting into Nightwish with Floor Jansen. I'm 66 and former rock vocaliat on a cover band here in S Africa and I am brought to tears ST ILL by Floor and this band....

We are here...we are everywhere...Nightwish Army

It is always entertainig to watch the reprogramming of the listener's brain when they hear "That Note".

Great react! Yes. Their musicianship glorifies the music before themselves. No egos. Please, keep going so I have subbed. They are best live. Romanticide or Story Time next from same concert.

You'll soon find out that not only she's more than capable for opera singing (she has opera training) but that's also able to death-growl just as easily.

Floor jansen, the Swiss Army Knife of female vocalists. This was song 13 of 15 at this show. It went heavier after with 'Song of Myself ' then the shows finally 'Last ride of the day'. Floor can also do metal growls...check out 'Yours is an empty hope' from Wembley 2015.

Welcome to your new world of Nightwish. Got a message from a mate yesterday front of stage at a Nightwish gig in England I'm so jealous

Johny, NIGHTWISH catches lots of people out. Great music especially Floor the vocalist. Keep up the great reactions mate. Kind regards from GB, England, Birmingham, Peaky Blinders Country.

This was the 13th of 15 songs of the setlist that night. When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6.1ft.) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: Energize me: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mJ6hlqSrfqTMZtY.html Monolith of Doubt: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYihraqkgduaZbg.html Dreamflight: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWdhwahyoNXeZKw.html Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). Here is a link to a part of a TV show (with english subtitles) of the reunion of the class of the Rock Academy with mostly backstage footage of the Tampere concert of Nightwish in 2015: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGeCq8iuYNTcpMo.html 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song, including some really heavy 'metal growls'. Here are some examples: Misery’s no Crime: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYKEx9WFdrfUhco.html Disdain: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pn2l3LKRqsurpdo.html Wild card: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eaSOr6h6fLzLd8Y.html Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJx52s2mh66zdbg.html Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see:: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHWdsseMo9SqXZc.html A suggestion to a christmas song sung by Floor. Here is a link to a performance in Finland with a special guest with the best seat you could imagine: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6FlucVulNC7icY.html Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on KZread. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa:, kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6WY2KiJcqq0YMY.html and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h5mI26OTpLmbp6w.html As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered KZread in the last year. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish:. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g4uTlahqaJnFZbQ.html Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of the presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughter Freja (5 years old), a horse and pony, a dog and a bunch of cats, she found this.

I concur.

Our Dutch Valkyre....😉😘

That concert is pure gold

Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and Nightwish. Formed in 1996, they are from Finland, 3rd and current lead singer ,Floor Jansen(Yan-sen) is Dutch. No, that was not the last song, #13 of 15 here at Wacken (Vah-ken) Open Air festival in Germany, a headliner in 2013. The purple guitar you asked about is Emppu's custom ESP Horizon EV-1( EV for Emppu Vuorinen). This is only a fraction of what Floor ,and the band, can do. She was only with them about 10 months here, having taken over mid tour. The mastermind is keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, he write 90-95% of the songs, including the orchestral backing track recorded with the London Philharmonic. See the comment from Gabriel Bardac for more info, and links to a lot of their songs Recommend you try Romanticide from this same show. It's a heavier song.

I'm so glad you've discovered Nightwish. These musicians and Floor are in a class of their own and the music that Tomas Holopainen creates is overwhelming. Hope you continue to listen to the band and enjoy the music. xoxo

Hello John. Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make symphonic metal. 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. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion. Watch out for the Nightwish Army. Greetings from the Netherlands.

I love this simple but effective af Guitar Solo. 😊

our AMAZING VALKYRIE QUEEN FLOOR

Sending out some positive vibes for Floor, who is recovering from recent breast cancer surgery. She is reportedly cancer free and will soon be back to crushing all in her path.

Weeeeellcome to Nightwish world! I hope you'll start this journey, you will enjoy it i guarantee you that

There are not enough video recordings to adequately portray the power of Floor's voice, I saw them live for the first time on Monday at Wembley, I couldn't speak for ten minutes after wards I was just in Awe, this song in particular surprised me Floor's final note has to be heard live to be believed

ahhh thank you Adam!!!

Thank you - loved the comment about how they all know when and how to use their instruments, really perceptive for a first-time listen. Saw them performing this live at Wembley last week, still awesome all these years later! I recommend starting with the first few on Gabriel's list, then we might have some specific suggestions for you. Enjoy!
