When they (media) asked Tuomas how he feels about having Floor as their new singer he said: "Floor is home." That says it all. She had also been in 2 other bands before Nightwish. After Forever and Re-Vamp. Nightwish knew her from festivals. They called Floor (on her sister's wedding day) if she wanted to fly to the USA and learn their setlist in 2 days so she could perform with them cause Annette fell ill during their world tour. I think the choice was easy when Annette left for good.

Anette came down with it to the the point they had to get a cover singer and had 2 girls from camelot fill in as the venue was already open and fans were waiting. Tuomas and Troy went out and told the fans they would either have to cancel the show or they could get a stand in. The fans were fine with stand ins and they went on with the show the best they could. I think Anette leaving was mutual but i do think her being hospitalized was part of the reason she left offically during that tour. Tuomas called Floor soon after and asked her if she could learn the setlist in 48hrs and go to Seattle, WA.

As for your "Poet and the pendulum" and "greatest show on earth" disclaimer....yes do indeed get to know the band first, especially with poet, as it''s, lyrically, a VERY deep and personal song for the band, so for that one especially, familiarize yourself with the lyrics and the story behind them, and perhaps even some of thier Tarja stuff(see previous suggestion) as the lyrics relate to thier separation from Tarja, and you enjoy seeing the "chemistry" among nightwish.

Wanna hear Floor (just a little) in another setting? "The Source" is the 9th studio album from Ayreon, a progressive metal/rock opera project by Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen, released on April 28, 2017. "The Day The World Breaks Down" is a song that features all 11 (well known) main guest singers [James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot, Seventh Wonder), Tommy Rogers (Between the Buried and Me) , Simone Simons (Epica), Nils K. Rue (Pagan's Mind), Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Mike Mills (ToeHider), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus), Floor Jansen (Nightwish)] and is taken from that album. Arjen himself is telling (in subtitles) who the singers are and which instrument are used and by what standards. Btw. The clip is 13 min. Long and I think you won’t regret it !! Official (Arjen’s) clip: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXqpr62dot22obg.html

The thing I love about nightwish with Floor is that they play and exude absolute joy. No matter how dark the music can get, and it really can, there is an element of joy in how they play together and that you know that they wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Its unique. I was a touring musician for years and NEVER seen a band as into what they are doing, and genuinely wanting to share that vibe with the while crowd.

Song of myself or ever dream....

I think that Floor, who only had 48 hours to learn the songs before going on stage, she has revitalized a band that has been together a long time, love them.

I Want My Tears back, because it's got a great Celtic Folk sound that makes Floor dance, and who doesn't want to see that.

They're something else. It's like I went along for decades not knowing there was a NightWish-shaped hole in the sum of what I love and then they filled it. Amazing!

Two from the Buenos Aires show: Slaying the Dreamer Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean Great job BTW, don't change a thing. I'm actually much more intetested in seeing your reaction to the tour documentary about Nightwish flying Floor from Holland to Seattle on 48 hrs notice to replace their 2nd singer. It's called Learn The Setlist In 24 Hours. Tons of tour moments, soundcheck footage, roadie/tech interviews...

I can’t wait 😁 FYI two under appreciated songs to keep in mind are Shudder Before the Beautiful live at Wembly (opening number, tons of energy, amazing production) and Stargazers live at Tampere (see above 😜) I’ll be starting my day at work when this premieres, but I’ll certainly enjoy it on my lunch break 👍 Have an amazing day 🤘😎

I love them all. Islander, Song Of Myself, I Want My Tears Back, The Greatest Show On Earth, While Your Lips Are Still Red, Hows The heart, Ever Dream and so many more!

Tuomas did say about Floor in the band: "She's at home." Great reaction Mr. Tank, loved it.

FLOOR can make your eyes water, it's unreal, she starts singing and my eyes start watering. Don't know why, it just does. It's like a special gift or something.

Floor's range is truly unbelievable. she is the perfect mix of what their former singers brought to the table and soo much more. You should definitely check out Floor sing Phantom of the Opera with Hank in a show called Beste Zengers.

"They look like they're having so much fun" That's why I live Nightwish so much. They really enjoy what they are doing.

I saw them live as a support for the German band Rage, and after the show I let tarja kissing the CD covers from angels fall first and oceanborn, you can still see her lipstick and her sign today over 20 years later.

"Welling up.." You're right, dude. Every time. There is so much phenomenal energy in these performances. Welcome to Nightwish brother.

One thing that would be a LOT of work, but awesome to watch, was if you would watch 1 song sung by all 3 vocalists Nightwish have had. Not to compare them, but to see what you think of them, as it will more or less be 3 different versions of the song. One of the songs I know there are good quality of on KZread is "Sleeping Sun", my favourite Nightwish balad. And it is SO different how the 3 singers sing it. I can't even choose my absolute favourite myself.

Dude. next react to Nightwish: Weak fantasy Live at Tampere, or Yours is an empty hope live at Wembly!!!

For TGSOE you should always pick the Tampere version. There is one with lyrics. It’s their most expensive performance to date. The song is about evolution. From the Big Bang until the end of mankind. It is beautifully narrated by Richard Dawkins (one of Tuomas heroes). The song shares it’s title with a book by Dawkins. Tuomas has studied biology and science. His other heroes are Charles Darwin, Carl Sagan and Eugene Shoemaker. The entire album ”Endless Forms Most Beautiful” is a concept album about evolution, with TGSOE his most advanced composition yet. Their new album ”Human. :|: Nature.” is like a sequel to EFMB and is a concept album about humans and our planet. Both albums are very cinematic and has elements of celtic folk music (Hey Troy!).

I'm really enjoying eavesdropping on your Nightwish journey! Your comments about the band's chemistry. the incredible musicianship, and the technical excellence of all aspects of the performance are spot on (I particularly like your expert insights on things like how the sound is engineered for each instrument's tonal quality). Nightwish members (all of them) have reached a point where they no longer have to consciously think about how to play their instruments (where and how to place their fingers, etc.) - for each of them the instrument is an extension of their body and THAT'S when truly great music happens and when the real joy and fun on stage begins. This joy and energy just explodes off the stage with Nightwish and the audience reflects it right back to them - and then Nightwish amplifies it and gives it back to the audience - and that cycle just repeats over and over again. Man, I really want to go to one of their concerts.

Powerwolf, Brothers of Metal, Krypteria, Xandria, Stream of Passion, Epica, Within Temptation, Ancient Bards, Blind Guardian, Suidakra, Seven Kingdoms, Unleash the Archers, Orden Ogan, Sabaton, Amberian Dawn, and Lordi. ...There you go, now you have the master list of non-Nightwish filler bands to last you the rest of the year. :D Don't let the word "filler" fool you either, every one of those bands is legit in their own right. I think off the top of my head maybe only like...one or two of those are American based? Either way, it's all stuff you'll never hear elsewhere if you don't react to it yourself here. Lookin forward to the journey man 🤘 Edit: most all of those also have little to no other reaction coverage either, so that's a bonus ;-)

Yes! Thanks for that list. Some bands on there I already know I want to react to, and I’ve only heard of a couple of them. Did an Unleash The Archers video yesterday, and believe it or not, I’ve known about and listened to Lordi for quite a while now. Haha.

Already missin me some Tank Nightwish Reactions here. Bring me more NW, Tank!... Must...have...MORE!! 🎶💀🔥

Coming soon! Probably gonna do another one in the next few days. Gotta mix it up here and there. Haha

*one of the most special things about Nightwish are these first time reaction videos* looking forward to Song Of Myself next!!

Loved your reactions for the Queen and boys! Congratulations for finding them, they will bring you plenty of joy (and goosebumps). BEST THING EVA!!!!🤯🥳🥰😅 Greetings from Finland!🤘

She was just hired to finish the tour. But afterwards both her and Troy the multiplayer became full members

I could be wrong, but I think it was just before this Wacken show NW asked her and Troy to join the band full time. But they weren't allowed to talk about it until they did a press release.

@@dhaxgaming4488 that's not impossible. I don't know. Maybe they did tell them. But imagine how hard it must have been for them to hold on that secret since it was still a long way to go on this tour. Pokerface Deluxe. Hahahahaha

@@AndyMagnusson70 Yes they were asked to join NW at the band meeting before the show . it made perfect sense they were on top of their game and were recording the show for the dvd bluray plus they have become real friends and it just felt right . I mean the fans have embraced her and fell in love there was no going back . the show was 3rd of august they had only two more shows to play before the end of the tour so the timing was perfect to tell them especially since that would make for even better energy for the dvd recording . the tour ended on august 11 so they only had to do a couple interviews and dodge the obvious questions . then in the following weeks after they have done alle the paperwork and the boring legal stuff they made it public on facebook and nuclear blast records on o 9th of october . and that post generated A LOT OF HYPE which was perfect because the dvd bluray combo dropped november 29 just in time for christmas shopping . i would say they had the perfect timing for everything

If you want to turn somewhere else, listen to "The Islander" at Tampere 2015. There's a song that is Marko's handwriting instead of Tuomas'. And yes, Marko sings the lead.

Fun fact about nightwish, Toumas the piano player net worth is $10,000,000 and the band net worth is $650,000 currently and that is why they can produce a lot of pyrotechnic and special effects in their live shows, awesome thanks 😊

Dear Tank, thanks for a great reaction to this beautiful song. Glad you lost the gimmicks 😉. The Nightwish army gave you enough songs to choose from, so I withhold myself from that. Till your next Nightwish reaction. 💕🤘

7 Days to the Wolves or Yours is an empty hope

It would be awesome if you reacted to “Yours is an empty hope”, live at Wembley. You gotta hear Floor growling ☺️ It’s my favourite.

My 3rd song with your Nightwish adventure! Ok thats my Favorite so far!!! Dark and catchy!! I have it STUCK in my head!!! Im just totally crushing on this Dark Metal Goddess!!!

So you are correct, Floor was with Nightwish about a year when they did this. None of these songs were originally sung by her, but she owned them so much that you’d never guess it.

I’m a whole year late bc I’m new in the Army as well. It’s like: a whole newwww woooooorld

The entire Wacken show from that year is fantastic, one of those "i wish i was there" moments. Floor wasn't even officially the new singer of Nightwish at this time, she only joined as a replacement for Annette during the rest of the tour about 6 months before this. I say officially, but the fact that they decided to film it probably hints at it was decided, just not made public. Since you seams to like Nightwish quite a lot, you might want to check out the documentary "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours", it tells the story of the time around Anettes dismissal and Floor joining (even if it's a little weird in the editing since Anette refused to be in the documentary). And yes, the title is quite litteraly what Tuomas (i think it was him) told Floor when she was rushed in to her first show with Nightwish.

@@TankTheTech im happy you did that. ALSO wery cool fact about this group: now that covid made all NW techs lose jobs on tours that were planned, NW really supported them big time, see: nightwish.com/news/crewish-unemployed-blacksmiths-announced

Tank I like what you do here very much. Keep doing it! I discovered this band some years agò and i keep listening to them over and over and despite this, i still have the same reactions to the songs like you do...shivers , wet eyes, or just being impressed. They are just unique.

I really dig your comments on the production aspects of these videos. It's stuff I normally don't pick out specifically - it really makes me appreciate the videos all the more. But DAMN - enjoy Nightwish.

“5:45 I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of other bands rock with each other… like this .” 6:12 Enter Tuomas, 6:23 enter Jukka, 6:42 enter Marco and Emppu, 6:53 start tears and goosies, enter Floor the Queen……. You’re prescient!!

Hi Tank when you get around to doing Poet and the Pendulum, do some research find out what the song is all about, this is a very personal song by Tuomas, very emotional once you know what what it's about

Following your Nightwish journey and loving your reaction and input. Keep it going.

Amazing reaction!! I think the reason these reactions are so satisfying is because it reminds many of us of the journey we all took. Can't ever go back, but you can watch someone else experience the roller-coaster. Enjoy the rabbit hole my friend!

Song of myself

A must "Last Ride of the Day"

I've watched your reaction on your first three Nightwish songs. Of course, now I have to subscribe. Awesome reaction..I loved it!

Great job thankyou Tank ,so glad you are enjoying nightwish journey as we are watching you. Keep it going.

I still waitin for rammstein - sonne live 2019 reaction on thier new stage :D

Ghost river or Storytime

I have been binge-watching them for 2 months now. I found them purely by accident, and now? I can not get enough!! Tuomas has a wicked smile, and his mind is pure genius! Marco and Floor together are amazing! Troy the multi-instrumentalist and vocals is amazing. Both drummers, Jukka and Kai, are OUTSTANDING, and Empuu can rock out some power riffs. Bucket Wish Concert!!

Very well done reaction. Your background lets you see more insight into the music and what is going on on stage. Keep up the good work!
