Hello everyone, welcome to Strategy Studios, if you've been here before, welcome back, if you're new to the channel, stay here, check out what's in my video collection, there's probably something there that you like and if not There is, go ahead and do it. a suggestion and yeah I'll check it out maybe play it on the channel so I have a request an overwhelming request for Night Wish doing the song Ghost Love on uh Walken in

2013

and this seems to be the quintessential first watch for someone returning to Nightwish or coming into Night Wish for the first time, so I'm excited to see these 10 minutes and 22 seconds and I don't know the names of the band members except I know the floor. he's the lead singer and that's it so I'm going to comment from ground zero here so keep that in mind in your comments anyway let's get into this I can't wait for the night I want to do the Ghost soundtrack Love, let's press the play button.

I

love

those horns up there, look at that damn keyboard with all those pipes, man that's cool, it's a 3-4 time there or 7-4, what an audience, oh nice change, that's a solid riff on the guitars. Yeah, oh, that's a cool bass drum head,

love

, that tells you what I love about the floor. um, when she plays a note, she plays it so solidly, without any vibrato, that the tone is very clear, maybe she adds vibrato at the end, as much as she can. sometime the child will be born again that mermaid came to me first for true love foreigner interesting a little interlude here I don't see anyone on stage it's very beautiful what a nice arrangement um I'm curious to know who writes in the group uh if anyone knows , leave a comment below.

I love the look of this guy on the base. This guy looks so tough. This guy I love this guy. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh man, I love it when the ground gets this rough. rougher and forceful than his singing, I love that, oh, the flames come out, my six eight followed by five eight is so I, wow, my God, wow, hahaha, wow man, I'll tell you, I held back a little to talk about the floor because I wanted to wait until the end to talk more about her in case you were wondering why I wasn't making a lot of comments about her, so first of all the band aspect is absolutely badass, they really have perfected his appearance. to bring as much impact as possible to accompany the power and strength of their music and um, it's such a cool mix between this orchestral and metal fusion that they have, that they do it so well and you know, I know these guys have it.

I've been. doing for a long time, um and I think you know, I don't know, there's probably other bands before them, I guess, but I'd be willing to say that they've probably set the standard that could be. bad, but it seems like that anyway, yes, a flat, you know what draws my attention so much about her, especially in this video, you know, I haven't seen her much, but I'm sure that in the next videos she I will see. reinforce this comment is or this thought is that she has so much presence and because of what's going on behind her with the instrumentation, the raw, heavy, heavy sound of that metal, uh, you know, the sound of the guitar and all the orchestration , I mean, think of the power it has.

Come on, you know, first you have this killer guy on drums. I mean, this guy is absolutely nailing the tempo. I'm listening to him and his double kick work is so perfect in um, very. very solid killer kit killer killer tuned very heavy, you know, punchy, punchy, uh, you've got the guitars, the heavy metal guitars you know, we're all familiar with that sound, but then you've got an orchestra on top of it all, okay? ? You've got all that and on top of that you've got flames going on, you've got the stage, you know, show the lights and everything else, then you've got the human voice that has to fit into this whole space and um, you better be a powerhouse and have a presence. incredible to be able to step in and fill those shoes and flora does it in space, she absolutely dominates the stage with a lot of confidence, her presence is really very big on stage, uh, her voice is huge and that's how she is able to do it, how can he get away with this, um, I'm contrasting with the first things I saw because I told you that I'm familiar with uh, I wish, master, uh, in the early ages of the band and uh, their original singer a contrast scene between her and Floor, both fantastic, you know, I think they're a little different.

I think Floor has more power. I could be wrong, but I only make comparisons of the small ones. What I've seen from them, that would be my first instinct to say that, but I haven't seen enough to qualify that statement, so, you know, the way he plays his notes, man, it's as solid as a target an arrow hitting the bullseye every time you know and I don't know um I saw them live I saw them live I once saw a show where sabaton opened for delane and they opened for the night I wish I had seen that a couple of years ago recently at the theater Greek in Los Angeles and, yes, I remember being quite impressed, but Floor was singing.

I was very impressed by how in tune she was and how consistently solid her singing was. Almost to the point of wondering. there is some processing or pitch correction but I don't think anything like that is happening with her voice because I think she is totally competent and highly trained to the point where she can go out night after night after night and be as dead as if she were um yeah, so uh, I love how it blends together. You know, she has this presence and it's almost kind of operatic in her voice, but then I love that she throws horns and gets into it and into her head. hits and all that attracts you even more I love that love that look um the band is great um yeah, I really love the keyboard player, what's behind it with all those tubes that look just huge, they look amazing, love, love.

I love it, everyone in the band is great, there is no weak link, everyone is fantastic, so yeah, that was a lot of fun and it went by fast, it was like over 10 minutes and it went by pretty fast. very very attractive throughout so man thanks for coming along and watching it with me if you have any other suggestions on what I should watch next let me know and I'll get it. That too, so anyway I hope you come back for more and we'll see you next time, bye.
