have you considered taking the M*A*S*H theme song lyrics into consideration yet??

Thank you for your reaction. This performance is propably closer to what Lloyd Webber was thinking when he wrote this song, compared to most other versions. The Phantom is supposed to be scary. One thing I've noticed is that the more knowledge a reactor has about singing the more she/he appreciates Marco, the bassist/vocalist. Several opera singers, for example Elizabeth Zharoff (Charismatic Voice channel), and Maggie Renee, reacted to this performance, in order to hear Tarja especially for the first time, but they were blown away by Marko's vocals.

Hello Justin Burke ! 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 Helsinki in 2005, then together with Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tar-rya], the 1st female singer of the band, and Marco Hietala, bassist and singer. 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) - you just heard her. 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). 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 posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘

Yeah, that's Nightwish. They're very talented and have a huge repertoire. You can't go wrong regardless of what your next choice of song will be.

More Nightwish please. That's just another day at the office for Nightwish haha. However, I will say, that is hands down the best rendition of Phantom of the Opera I have ever heard. I suggest Storytime live from Wacken 2013, with their third singer, Floor Jansen (this was their first singer Tarja).

@@valerieblackthorn13 I wouldn't really say that. Maybe, but I was searching for a specific style of music back around 2010 and remember landing on Nightwish and heard some things from Tarja. Thought it was too deep and operatic. A great mistake, of course, because had I fallen in love with Nightwish back then I might have seen more of them touring. That's not to say I don't also love Tarja - I do - but at first listen I didn't. I immediately fell in love with Floor though on first listen to her with Nightwish, years later.

Best version ever!! 🔥 Listen to the siren from same concert and Slaying the dreamer 🔥

Tarja and Marko actually just reunited recently to sing this song together for the first time in 18 years. There's a lot of great songs from that concert known as End of an Era, Tarja's final with the band. I also suggest checking out her solo career, where she has a much more eclectic catalogue. you mentioned mosh pit so i'll recommend Victim of Ritual from Woodstock. as well as Stargazers, from Buenos aires with "Tarja's solo band. It's a NW song, but the energy during that concert from the band and crowd is so rediculous.

At the same concert they did HIGH HOPE, Marko sang and it was a jaw dropping performance. Highly recommend 😊

I don't know of any other Rock band that is able to put Phantom on their setlist and deliver such a performance live in concert.

nightwish a sympfonic metal and not rock

I just subscribed, in the hopes that you will do more Nightwish. They are an incredibly versatile band, where every song is wonderful, and every song is different. Each member of this band is an accomplished professional, who plays for the song. There are no egos here. The result is a sum greater than the total of its parts. I see that General Gabriel has already been here. You can't go wrong following his guidance. The songs he has linked are arguably the best recorded, both video and audio, of the many versions of these songs out there. My advice is to pick and choose from that list as you will. You can't go wrong, no matter what you choose.

Tarja Turunen, the symphonic metal goddess

THANKS for some TARJAWISH !!!!!! TARJA , her rock band and a Brazilian opera singer covered it last night !!!!!!! ☮☮💘💘☮☮💘💘

Nightwish army Italian division present ! 🤘

Another great song with Tarja and Marko together is "Slaying the Dreamer" from the same End of an Era concert

Marko Hietala and Tarja performed this live recently for the first time in many years and even watching it on video and not live was magical

Hi Justin. By reacting to this video, you have summoned the Nightwish Army. Hi 👋. There are 2 Nightwish versions of "Phantom Of The Opera." The one you watched if their first & it features Tarja & Marko. The newest version features their current singer, Floor Jansen & a guest appearance by Henk Poort, who played the title roll of The Phantom for the Dutch version of the stage show. There have been 3 female singers for Nightwish. The first was Tarja. She is magnificent, with the voice of a Siren. Her replacement was Annette. She is a world-class singer & is an equal to pop stars like Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga. Currently, Floor Jansen is the lead singer. Floor is majestic, & most of the fans call her a Valkyrie. On stage, she genuinely looks & sounds like an actual Valkyrie who is just pretending to be an ordinary human. I recommend you watch the 2013 Wacken live version of Ghost Love Score.

It's worth remembering how that band became famous. Just one of the new combinations, where an opera singer is a vocalist in a heavy band. This was once a sensation in Finland and started conquering the world. The current band composition is just a memory from those times

The next song in the set is "The Siren" (End of an Era concert Helsinki, 2005)

You look exactly the same like I looked when I saw this performance in 2005. I knew that I saw something forever phenomenal.

Hey guys!!! Hahaha, your faces!!! You can't imagine the amazing things this band can do. Please keep on with Nightwish. Good reaction. Thanks. Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English

Fabulous reaction! The look of shock on his face at what Marko achieved in that performance was very amusing to me - most reactors to this song know Tarja is good, but are usually unprepared for how good Marko is….

Incredible? Of course. Nightwish is incredible!!

Tarja is phenomenal,👌🥂🌷

Swanheart, The beauty of the beast, Sacrament of wilderness, Fantasmic part III, Sleeping sun - these songs are must to listen!!!

Tarja and Marko didn't leave any crumbs.

They have given exactly the right spirit, directly into the song. Gorgeous performance, incredibleee. Greetings from Turkey...

Tarja Turunen the best!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

Thanks that amazing reaction.👏👏 That was cool.👍 Sleeping Sun (LIVE) is my favorite ect. ❤ From 🇫🇮

Best band ever!! Best singers ever! Best versión! Perfect versión of this song!!

High hope is a must to listen too. Marko’ s voice is insane. It’s from the same concert.

After this performance, Tarja (The female singer) was kicked from the band with an open letter. In 2017 Tarja and Marko (The male singer) performed together at a christmas show and that´s when Marko and Tarja reconnected and later in 2023 they performed the Phantom of the opera together at one of Tarja´s shows. They saw how much people loved that they´re performing together again after 18 years and Marko wanted Tarja to feature on his new song "Left on mars". An interview dropped yesterday and Marko told that they have no bad blood between them nowadays and they have talked through everything that happened almost two decades ago, and they did multiple shows together in 2023. Just lovely.

Nightwish, Siren, Master Passion Greed, Planet hell... Those are all great songs with both Tarja and Marco. Edit. Not master passion, but it's a superb song by Marco. Tarja is also present, in the lyrics... And especially her husband :x

Master Passion great is crap, as is most of the neo-nightwish songs. The golden Era of Nightwish was ~ 1998-2005. Sure, they're still a decent band, but nothing like they were back then.

Pls more nightwish songssss ❤❤❤❤

Nightwish army Connecticut battalion weighing in: I enjoyed your reaction and based on what YOU seemed to enjoy in this one, I am going to suggest you stick with Tarja and do another song from this same End of an Era concert. "I Wish I Had An Angel" But either way...yes. More.

this isn`t phantom of the opera. this is the beauty and the beast^^

Siren, same concert!!

Always fun to see em "Poppy" folks find bands we have known for decades like Nightwish, Tool, Leprous, Faith No More ... Welcome! Yeah we have spot for a few more of you.

Just when you think you`ve heard everything and nothing can surprise you in the noble art of music, here comes Tarja Turunen and says:" Boss, I`m gonna need you to come with me!"

Well you just met Marko! He is one of the best male vocalists alive but so underrated. He is so cool! You might hear of him by the fans as Rock Gandalf 😂

Thanks!!Nightwish is symphonic metal ban from Finland. This performance was from 2005 and singer was their first singer Tarja Turunen, not Floor Jansen:). There is newer Nightwish version 2022 singer Floor Jansen and phantom role sing by Henk Poort(original Dutch phantom). And of course check out Nightwish own songs like Storytime(Wacken 2013, Ghost love Score(Wacken 2013) or Last ride of the day(Masters of Rock 2015)

amigo, eu vim pelo react do Nightwish, mas eu realmente amei a prévia da sua música, definitivamente vou ouvir sua arte 💙

Everyone wants more of them😂

A great reaction video from a great band. I appreciate. Nightwish is a Finnish metal band whose purpose is to play from melodic to heavy metal with a female voice. There have been four singers in the band, of which perhaps the most important and versatile was the bassist Marco. Phantom of the Opera's singer Tarja Turunen best reflects the band's idea. The singing is classical and technically superior compared to other singers. During the time of second singer Anette Olzon, the band sounded very commercial and the studio records are very good. Unfortunately, Olzon was not at his best in live concerts. During Olzen's time, one of the best songs in heavy metal, Master Passion Green, sung by Marco Hietala, was recorded. The current singer Floor Jansen is a very good live performer. The most artistically versatile singer, who is not quite as capable of demanding singing as Turunen. However, the sound is very commercial and mass-pleasing. However, the best thing about the band is the playing skills of keyboard-bass-guitar-drums and Holopainen's unimaginable talent for writing songs.

@@RichFrye Reality is that the entire concept of the original Nightwish revolved around Tarja's vocal style and technique. Her strong classical influenced voice is what inspired Tuomas to turn what was originally planned to just be a "Folk music project" into a symphonic metal band. Tuomas says exactly this, on the end of Innocence DVD, when he recounts the story of the founding of the band. Yes, Floor is a good vocalist as well, but honestly, she's more of a rock/metal singer than anything else and really can't do justice to the Tarja era songs. And had it not been for Tarja, Nightwish would have been more like Auri.

Thank you!🤘🎸

I am Finnish! And I am proud to here my fellow Finnish Band Nightwish! Artists

Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum next!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of their best "theatrical" piece!!!

That is the correct reaction.

This is the best version there is.....Tuomas wrote this for them to sing and perform with heavier style than the original and fit to NW. They also act the roles well.

Tarja and floor are just brutal

Wow!!!!
