First, thank you for the shout-out. You should know that there is no mandatory order in that list, it includes the most successful performances of the band, and the recordings have a good audio-video quality. Often, however, the fans have more appropriate suggestions in the comments, so please don't ignore them. You noticed very well at the end, that their music, even after a decade and behind a screen, carries with it an intensely optimistic energy. And yes, it is felt in the chest, where it "dissolves" the pain and lets you breathe deeply. This energy helped me years ago to overcome difficult moments in life, when the state of tension effectively suffocated me. I'm not a unique case among Nightwish fans, I've heard this in various forms over the years. Likewise, the lyrics, mainly composed by Tuomas, are always significant and often poetic, full of metaphors. Many reactors limit themselves to image and sound, leaving with an incomplete experience. I'm glad that you are one of the relatively few who are perceptive at this level as well. When I was in school, about 3 decades ago :) so before the advent of the Internet, we would gather some friends at the house of one who had a better pickup and listen to an album together, smuggled from beyond the Iron Curtain. Good reactors, like you, remind me of those happy moments of my childhood. Thank you

I always look for @gabriel.bardac in the comments of these Nightwish reaction videos. It's like getting an 'A' from your professor! lol

The things that you seem to appreciate the most about Nightwish is the composition of Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist and greatest composer of my long lifetime. He writes most of the lyrics, and about 95% of the music the band plays. Both Tuomas and Floor are empaths and their music and delivery cuts right to your soul. As you progress through their catalog, you will hear that no two songs sound alike, and you will hear many genres and styles, and that is part of the genius of Tuomas. The members of the band are virtuosos in their own right, and they play what best serves the composition, rather than their ego. You will find that your love will grow exponentially with each song. Tuomas composes the orchestrations and has (usually) The London Symphonic Orchestra and Choir record the backing tracks for both albums and live performances. Welcome to the greatest band on the planet. I'm here to join you on your version of the greatest ride of my life!

She just put her hands over her head & clapped, & 82,000 people clapped along in unison without even thinking about it. Even you clapped along.

This a very fun and lovable Nightwish song. I am a 70 year old in service to the Nightwish Army. Before 2019 when I finally had my eyes opened to this band I had decided that there were no more bands of this century that could excite me. I too had never heard of symphonic metal as a genre at that time. My God, what revelation it has been! I encourage you to continue your dive down the NW rabbit hole. Gabriel is a trustworthy guide. For me, this entire 2013 Wacken concert is gold. I’ve witnessed firsthand the great rock icons, starting with the Yardbirds in 1966, and this concert is one of my favorites during all the subsequent years.

And then ...what a fantastic world opened up with NW! And I was sooo exited that I can't remember which song of them I heard first haha. And although I enjoyed the good old days, and my favorite Moody Blues with warm feelings, NW time is the best! Greetings!

This is not your average Billboard Top 100 junkfood.

Ever Dream ...Nightwish

With most bands the pivotal point is the singer. When you have a singer like Floor, you would think this also goes for Nightwish. But for Nightwish almost every song is part of the journey through the mind of Tuomas (on keys, composer). Today you have seen a hint of the Peter Pan complex (fear of growing up and losing innocence) he has had for years. Remember it, because it will come back in many future songs.

Thanks for your reaction❤ I suggest for you to go with the softer ones: Live Wembley 2015 - While your lips are still red ( beautiful harmonies) - I want my tears back Buenos Aires 2018 ( dacing gig) - Last ride of the day (Wacken 2013) Links you find in Gabriels list.You will enjoy your ride if you'r open mind.

Howdy, Try this for a brain tease. "EPICA - Stabat Mater Dolorosa w/Floor Jansen" Two metal singers in the middle of a rock concert sing opera with an orchestra. I'm sure you will enjoy this. They do another song in the Symphonic Metal genre "Sancta Terra" Floor and Simone together sound awesome in these two compositions.

Nightwish Army Apprecites

Perfect performance of one of their best songs. The entire band (as usual) owned this song that night! Storytime is a song I recommend to people who are just getting into symphonic metal as it has a lot of straight rock vibe as well- a transition piece as it were.

Floor’s talent has many sides, she crosses many genres but is a real metalhead at heart.

This song is actually from their single best album which was written for the more stacatto fairy voice of Anette, and the studio version of it is outstanding for different reasons. Id say that and the studio "Meadows of Heaven" are her best two performances. For Tarja id recommend Walking on the Air and Phantom of the Opera, and her studio Nemo.

Nightwish Rules!

It takes me several listens and watches I get most of the music first listen what amazes me is how they capture so much of the experience on video welcome to the rabbit hole

Same concert as you watched before, with Ghost Love Score. Just one of these songs is like a gym session and they go on for over an hour with the same energy.

As you progress you'll see that Nightwish really is extraordinary from all facets. You'll appreciate Emppu (Guitar), Marco (bass vocals-no longer with the band), Troy (exotic instruments). But eventually, maybe, you'll see that as extraordinary as Floor is, and as great as the first singer Tarja was, it's Thomas (Keyboard, composer, writer) who is the heart of the band and an extraordinary talent as well. Perhaps Genius with his compositions. I'm approaching 60 and this band not only refreshed my musical juices but it's a top 5 band for me that includes some very lofty names. Now I'm expanding to Epica and Floor's earlier bands and earlier Nightwish and Tarja's solo work... her dammed creepy Christmas song collection is is brilliant.

I'm glad you like Nightwish so much ,when I heard Nightwish for the first time years ago ,still with the second singer ,I was just as surprised how much I liked it .when I later heard Floor with GLS it was over for me .since then every day Nightwish ,attended several concerts etc .but what also flared up again was my love for metal which I had lost for some years . I actually stayed true to melodic metal, there are so many good bands in the world, maybe you will hear some of them. You've probably read Epica , with Floor as guest singer , the song Sancta Terra , there you can also see how many intersections metal and classical music have . Greetings from Germany

All that thing is called Nightwish army. We are not just fans! Period.

If you like clever composition then you've found your musical home because no one comes close to the depth, intelligence, versatility and profundity that is Nightwish 🤘🤘🤘

This is such a fun song, full of life and energy. It is one of the hardest songs for Floor because it's a freight train that keeps going and going, and she hardly has any time to recover, but you would never know by just seeing her do it. Most certainly one of my favorite songs, it rekindles a childlike wonder in us and reminds us of carefree times and discovery of the world around us. (for me anyway) And yeah, you start to realize why Nightwish is such a special band, they are incredibly diverse and have some of the best musicians in the business. (one one of the best singers period)

Another awesome reaction! Yep, they're music can be a bit overwhelming for "newbies" 🙂 I had never heard of symphonic metal until I heard Nightwish. Been a metalhead since I was 10 (in the early 70s) and stumbled across Nightwish in the late 90s. They took everything I knew about rock to a whole new level. The Who, my favorite for years) was instantly dropped from #1 to #2 as my favorite band of all time. 😀

Thank you🥰👋🇫🇮!

RHN: "Wow, she's really bringing it!" Floor: "Hold my beer." 😃 The next one on Gabriel's list is probably either Romanticide or Ever Dream, both at the same concert, Wacken 2013 . Can't go wrong with either, and you'll get to meet Marco in both.

OK, I have a little bit of a sidetrack for you to look into.

Similar to Nightwish in one way though; pick any track because they are all fantastic.

❤ Great Choice ❤ It seems that you really like the stuff of Nightwish - that’s great‼️ Therefore you have sooooo many great songs in front of - you can’t imagine…. next should be: Everdream (same concert: Wacken 2013) - you will love it… and of course you will learn a little bit more… 🏆👍

Right, Red, you clearly enjoy clever writing combined with loads of energy and creativity and that tells us you might very well be ready for their Wembley live performance of The Poet and the Pendulum - one of their masterpieces. That one needs a bit of prepping beforehand, though, because lots of elements, lots of symbolism in both music and lyrics, but we are confident that you will get it, and appreciate it. Cheers from the French Division of the Nightwish Army.

And they've done it again, the Valkiry Queen and Nightwish have recruited yet another new member. Redheadedneighbor, welcome to the NWA. For the time being, we will not give you any suggestions other than those you have already received from our general. Their entire concert at the Wacken Open Air festival 2013 is worth listening to and tasting symphonic metal. (Ghost Love Score was #13/15) So it is good to take the time to process all these new impressions. (P.s. I saw you responded to several Pink Floyd songs. Now it turns out that Nightwish paid tribute to Pink Floyd during their 2005 concert by performing "High Hopes" live, but that will come in time after you get to know Marko Hietala (bass & vocals).)

You will have many kind of emotions and feelings with Nightwish🙂 Following the Gabriel’s list, is a good way to start this journey. This band don’t stuck in the certain type of music or even in the typical instruments. Some songs will be even close to metal musical theather. This more artistic side opens up to you later🙂 Tuomas, the keyboard player, who compose and write most of these songs, is an artist, poet and a genious in writing lyrics, and making these songs. Every one of their song has a message or story to tell, from very heart warming emotions, to darker and sad feelings.

You have such a journey ahead of you. This team of talented musicians play for the song, and there is no ego involved in what they do. You will get to know the musicians, and find that each one is a master at what they do. Jukka (and later Kai) on the drums, Emppu, who can make that guitar sing what ever song he needs it to sing, Marko, the bassist who is also a superior singer, and whose harmonies with Floor are beyond perfect, Troy, the multi-instrumentalist who you have not seen yet, and behind it all, the rock upon which this band, this supergroup, is built is the keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen, whose compositional and lyrical skills are world class. This is a band that makes you think, and makes you wonder.
