Hello Loop & Hasma [Loop2React] ! 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, and Marco Hietala, bassist and singer, 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. [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. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the 3nd 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 . 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

The "guy on keyboards" is the composer of most of their music and is a genius...

Hi guys. Thanks for reacting to my recommendation! Good to know you liked it. As I've told you in my recommendation, Nightwish is a Finnish band. The pipes around the keyboards are made to look like the monument in Helsinki for the famous Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. I've also mentioned that they have a huge variety in songs. From heavy songs like this one, to more epic and melodic songs, as well as beautiful ballads and Celtic sounding songs. So there's a lot more to explore if you're interested. If you are, have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment. There you'll find lots of background info and song suggestions. I hope you will revisit Nightwish soon and recognize them for the awesome band they are. Greetings from the Netherlands!

good story. facted checked and true

Nightwish has been around since 1996. Floor officially joined in 2013. This video is from 2013. As you can hear she has an incredible voice and this is live. She can sing pop, rock, metal, classical and opera. She also does some growling. All of this pitch perfect and with power. I know of no other female singer that can do all that. Nightwish also turns out different styles of music. There’s probably something there that would be your cup of tea unless you’re not into female fronted bands. Nice reaction. I enjoy watching reactors exposed for the first time to my favorite band and singer. BTW The pipes are a prop covering triple Korg keyboards. 😄🤘

Floor already joined 2012 as a substitute, but soon became a permanent/official member, not long before that concert. You will get aware of that special "Honeymoon" like vibe, if you keep up reacting to that legendary Nightwish concert at Wacken 2013. The official announcement of her staying with the band was made in autumn 2013, after they finished their tour and kept their fans busy with some exciting news...

Nightwish was founded in 1996. This is Floor Jansen, the third lead singer of the band. She was 32 at the time of this show in 2013. One of their heavier tunes, but a few go at least as hard.

The guitar of the lead guitarist Emppu Vuorinen is custom made. The purple one is a EV-1 named after his initials. The keyboardist is standing behind a false front that looks like a pipe organ but he plays KORG synthesizers, usually two sometimes three. He usually has a bottle of wine hidden there somewhere.

Nightwish - YOURS IS AN EMPTY HOPE - Live at Wembley 2015

She is about 30 ish here and today 41. We all pray that her surgery yesterday went well

This song is one of the heaviest song of this concert. The whole concert at Wacken is epic. Have a look at Ghost love score.

Remember, this was 2013 live and they've been around since 1996.Floor started about the same time in her mid teens with After Forever. She's now 42 yrs old. Rammstein wasn't formed then. Maybe it's the other way around? If you want some growls from Floor and Marko doing the singing in the chorus, check out 'Yours is an empty hope'!

Sorry, I am into Rammstein since 25 years. They where in-official formed in 1993 as Tampleprayers and official in 1994 as Rammstein and have never changed their line up. The vocalist Till Lindemann made his licence as pyrotechnician in 1996. He has the "big licence", where the members have the "little one", so they can "assist him". For those who are interested, here is an Interview with him, at a Swedish TV program from 1997, maybe you also see them after this In a bit another light: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4mfzNGvYdfIcbw.html The band members loved to play with fire beforehand. Lindemann did it, because he was bored on stage, but for all at the beginning he had stage fright (that's why he often was wearing googles or sunglasses. Also because there was an incident in 1996 at a concert, where 5 or 6 (I am not completely aware of the numbers) got injured, one had to stay in hospital over night. The others kept on playing the song (so no panic starts among the audience) and Lindemann helped the security. He finished the song, apologised and after the concert they all went to the hospital to have a look at the injured. They are "bad guys" on stage, but that it is. With ballads he is very uncomfortable to be on it until today, which you even can see at some videos from 2019. The song is called "Diamant": kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWeL1aOCcpe-aKQ.html You can see, how "cool" he is at the beginning, but then he suddenly starts up to breath heavily, and he even messes up the line. Another one, where you can clearly see it is from 1998: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e46L17ushta6iMo.html it is the first song, if someone wants to have a look at it. So I would say, Rammstein was first. 😉 Yes I also like Nightwish, but I fell in love with Rammstein back in 1997 in an Austrian Nightclub as 16 year old girl, such love lasts forever.

Floor jansen is 41 years old now, so 32 at this performance.

Two more souls snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess. You havent heard anything, if you continue this journey you'll know what i mean . Floor Jansen is the 3rd singer and no face lift , shes 32 at this show , 41 now and looks just as good if not better and she happens to be one of the best vocalist on the planet .

The band started in 1996 as teenagers and also this video is a decade old. And yes, the singer did get swapped (twice), but Floor is about the same age as the rest of original the band. However, the bass player (Sami) got swapped after just a few years for Marko and Marko is about ten years older than the rest. Since this video both Marko and the drummer (Jukka) got replaced (health issues) for former members of the band Wintersun. (Kai and Jukka

You have no idea how many reactors that have said "This is not what I normally listen to" or something in that direction, but ends up with all the rest of us at the bottom of the rabbithole. In this video, Floor Jansen was in her early thirties. Just try out some more from Gabriels list, and I promise you that you will be more and more amazed by these brilliant musicians.

The singer Floor Jansen (Dutch) had been with the band for 10 months at the time of this concert in August 2013. She is still with them today. If you have more of a rock song interest, check out Floor's hard rock project Northward, "While Love Died" kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHWdsseMo9SqXZc.html She can move seamlessly between genres, being able to move from opera to death metal growls and all points in between.

When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time.

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.

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.

Really good reaction guys. Nightwish fan here. Every Nightwish song is different and this is one of their heavier songs. Glad to see that you two enjoyed it. Hope to see you react to more Nightwish in the future. If you follow the links in Gabriel Bardac's lengthy comment (and self-replies with the links) you can't go wrong. Nightwish is one of those rare bands whose live performances are better than their studio albums.

So Floor is only few years younger than the guys, except Marco (and maybe their current drummer Kai), the basist. Around this concert Floor was in her early 30's. They did change singers (twice). The original singer is the around the same age as the original band members, the keyboard player and the guitarist. Now they are in their mid 40's.

The best symphonic metal band, you should listen to more of their songs, maybe you'll like them more.

Floor Jansen (the singer) is not that young during the time this video was recorded, I think this is Wacken 2013, so Floor was about 32 at that point.

Floor is the third singer in the bands history, yup she is the youngest member of the band...fun fact: at that show she was not an official band member, she jumped in for former singer Anette Olzon during a running tour! She actually learned the entire set list (two hours of content) in only 48 hours during a flight from the Netherlands to the U. S. and during quick rehearsals. There is a documentary, called "please learn the set list in 48 hours"!

Nightwish are an interesting band without a particular style other than epic music. They move between all forms of metal all the way through to sea shanties! The main writer Tuomas (the keyboardist) doesn't really give a s#$t as to genres or styles just writes the music to serve the emotions he wants the listener to get from the song. Some hate this as they wish that Nightwish had all their music like Romanticide whereas most of us love the fact they don't!
