⏩ Video Question: Which member of Nightwish would you like to have a chat with the most?

[bennybuffylove]

LOL..."that's fucking insane". That comment is so true about most of the stuff Nightwish with Floor does. Also, equally fits the description of a lot of solo stuff Floor has done in the last 2-3 years. This Wacken2013 concert video was my first taste of Nightwish ever 2.75 years ago and I think it is the best performance I've seen, live or video, and I'm 73.

What you said at 2:55 -ish is so very true. One of the things that really sets this band apart, is they have a very identifiable sound, but they don't rely on a formula to achieve that sound, you know what I mean? Every song sounds unique in it's own way, but is still instantly recognizable as Nightwish. What a testament to Tuomas' brilliant composition and song-writing skills.

Did you know this concert was Floor’s first as a permanent member, & the fans didn’t know it yet, but she had them! Floor had joined the band in October, 2012 to finish out their American, tour when Anette left unexpectedly. There is a documentary on it called p, ease Learn the setlist In 48 hours, which is a great watch.

"That is very unique"
Well... Tuomas himself is very unique, one of a kind musician

[D-ragon-S]

It's not possible for me to describe the happiness it gives me to witness when you rediscover music!
Thank you for sticking with Nightwish, among others on your goosebump journey. 🤘

Not gonna lie, I've probably watched the entire Wacken 2013 concert hundreds of times. I'm not even a little bit sick of it either, it's just so good. Storytime is one of my favorites. That chorus is amazing. It's simple, but Floor sings it so perfectly. And if you strip away the fairly upbeat vocals and lyrics the instrumentation itself sounds almost sinister. This is what Nightwish does better than anyone else IMO, that juxtaposition of polar opposite themes in the same song.

The choir in the background is pre-recorded, I'm pretty sure it's a boy's choir. That's what he used for Poet and the Pendulum anyway.

[chadbennett]

In answer to your question: Tuomas! It would be a dream to have a discussion with the greatest composer of my lifetime. He seems likes such a humble and thoughtful person in interviews, and while he has been wise enough to surround himself with five other musical geniuses, he is sitting in the center seat of this rocket to the stars. It takes a special kind of person to put this level of talent together, keep it as a family without egos or power struggles, and to compose at a level, both musically and lyrically that is unmatched around the world. It would be very much like being able to speak with Bach.

[peterbell]

Such a great song to get ya going. When this comes on playlist, I just get pumped everytime, and Floor's vocals, especially at the end are amazing.

[kyrosv]

Oh man!
Enjoying so much your reactions and comments to Nightwish Live!!
Keep them coming!

[kentk]

Great reaction Tony, as always! So easy to love this band the more you hear. Tis pretty unique and definitely addictive. The choral sections are prerecorded tracks that Tuomas arranges and records and controls when played live. The operatic section that Floor sings here was originally done only by the choir. Floor said, “I can take that.” Maybe check out their heavier side now, with Romanticide, from same Wacken show. Keep exploring Nightwish!

[WardDorrity]

What I really like about your channel is that you appreciate the real genius of what Tuomas is up to. You get the little details.

[kyrosv]

Loving that you're sharing with us your discovery journey!!
Next, I'd suggest: Nightwish - Romanticide or Ever Dream or Song of Myself! [Gabriel's links]

[BrendonChase_]

Which other bands do these incredible switch-ups? Here's one.
Talking abt discovery mode: how about checking out not just another rabbit hole but a whole universe? The decades long project of another compositional mastermind on par with Tuomas Holopainen, i.e. Arjen Anthony Lucassen's AYREON/Star One?
Floor will be there, as will her sister, Nightwish's Marko, Epica's Simone Simons and many, many other greats of the international metal/prog scene.
I'd recommend starting with the video "The Day That The World Breaks Down" which does a great job as an introduction. If live is more what you're after, then "Everybody Dies" would be first pick. Cheers from Amsterdam

[alanfoster]

It's fascinating to compare Floor and the band's performance here with the recent one at Hellfest in France and see how certain elements have evolved.

[phillipgross]

NightWish is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get, you just know it's gonna be really good.... 👍👍🤘🤘

[randyburrill]

Just an amazing performance from an amazing group. Enjoyed this!

[andyohil]

After Storytime it’s an easy decision - go for “Everdream” (same concert Wacken 2013)

[KaterinaDeAnnika]

You just found one of my favorite songs by my all time favorite band! I have loved Nightwish since I first heard them 10 years ago. I love when people find them and realize how amazing they are!

[richardmead]
