Old Composer REACTS to NIGHTWISH - Romanticide | A Composers Point of View

ANOTHER epic ride on the NIGHTWISH journey. Thank you so much Gabriel for your heads-up on the chronological list of music and for the great intro to the band. I'll be referring to it as I move through their catalog for more NIGHTWISH reaction videos. Oh yea, I got FLOORED again! :)

A polite word of advice: please do not hold back if you want to go into detail on a particular piece of the performance. We are here to hear you go to far out there. There are far more reactors out there that just blow out the usual unicorns on how great Nightwish is( spoiler: we know that already!). But reactors willing to go deep and nitpick and explain why they think Nightwish is great - that takes knowledge and insight in music most of those kind of reactors will never achieve. Keep up the great work!

"Lieutenant Gabriel" :)) I liked that, thank you. I'm glad you decided to continue the Nightwish journey, new subscriber for that. And don't feel limited by the list I gave you. I am convinced that your creativity will lead you from one point to your own journey of discovering the beauty of this wonderful band.
Greetings from Romania.

Floor left you speechless for a moment. Its ok, happens to everyone with a pulse! As another “old guy”, I’m 60, welcome to the Nightwish Army!

It's good to hear someone with knowleledge of subject matter in music.

I just went to Nightwish's channel to watch a couple of songs... noticed I wasn't subscribed and that they had 999k subscribers.... subscribed and refreshed the page and it then said 1M. If I wasn't the millionth it was damn close!

Btw, to quote Tank the Tech:
For everyone that didnt know: Empuu (Guitarist) is playin an EV-1, customized only for him!

I’ve known nightwish for 20 years, nowadays is just my music DNA

[friarjon]

You seem to be intrigued about a choir in the background... check out "Sancta Terra" (live) the vocals are a duet between Floor Jansen of Nightwish and Simone Simons of Epica. There is a real choir in the background as well as a live orchestra! It's a great intro to Epica as well (another symphonic metal band).

LMAO at that line "I'm an old composer, I'm decomposing" :D

[BudhagRizzo]

Pretty much their entire 2013 Wacken concert is a masterpiece. I recommend just sitting back and watching it on a big screen with a good sound system.

[jamesdalessandro]

My favorite Nightwish song that's under 10 minutes long.

[tryxanel]

Another great reaction!! Just one thing, when you were talking about the guitar solo and spacing... Just get into it as much as you want.
Most people watching reactions have seen several of these and appreciate what every youtuber says to know more about the band and their craft, especially people with actual musical knowledge like yourself, the same way voice teachers/coach talk about vocal techniques.

Keep these coming!

[jenniemeyer]

I hope you react to Shoemaker. 🙏 Would love to see what you think of that Nightwish masterpiece.

I discovered them last watching this concert I was struck again by how Europeans know so many languages: Floor is a Dutch (married to a Swede by the way and living now in Sweden) singing in a Finnish band..at a metal concert in Germany with an international audience, and they and the audience are singing in English. It’s almost embarrassing as an American....and yeah, I get needs a language that they can all communicate through and especially citizens of the smaller countries need to learn English: Americans don’t have a necessity to learn another language, and if we do, we don’t have the opportunity to use it (my high school French? Yeah, forgot most of it). But it’s STILL impressive to me.

[chrisedwards]

Welcome to Nightwish, Im glad I will be able to see your reaction threw the journey that is Nightwish, truly a world class band! Keep the vids coming

[ilkkak]

They do orchestral parts with London Philharmonic Orchestra, Metro voices choir and Pip Williams. In Greatest Show On Earth song they had 600 tracks at mixing phase.

[jishin]

Nice review again. Since you are a composer, we like to hear the point of view of someone who is a colleague of Tuomas. We watch vocal coaches, musicians, roadies, but usually no composers. We all think and know that composition is a major quality of Nightwish.
Keep it up! There are big things out there from Nightwish.

[samuelbhend]

i had to pause your reaction for a minute at the decomposing joke just to finish

[Meine.Postma]

When you're ready for it, feel free to listen one of their master pieces The Poet And The Pendulum. I don't know why Gabriel does not include TTATP and Greatest Show On Earth (live at Tampere). Maybe he heard them too much (not possible) or he assumes they will be recommended when you're ready. But keep those in the back of your head because you will not want to miss out on those.

[catsname]

Oh boy, wait until he watches The Poet and The Pendulum!
