Within Temptation Solemn Hour live at Pinkpop 2007

[wafflecakepans]

EVANESCENCE AND WITHIN TEMPTATION

Gee, I hope this does not start a musical debate.

[snoweatsbabies]

idk y people try to say evanescence and WT are the same

if you hear the works from the open door and some of the songs leaked from the new album coming out nxt month you can so tell that its different from WT

[marsmars1993]

this song is EPIC

[Firnisal]

Why always COMPARING ? If you like evanescence, type evanescence. If you like WT, stay here. If you like both, do whatever you want, I won't ask you to choose a side x')

But, I beg you, STOP COMPARING. If there are two bands, that's because they want to be different, otherwise, I dunno, they would merge and create a 2x bigger band !

[rogerliciouz]

Evanescence -> Alternative Metal

Within Temptation -> Symphonic Metal

Understanding and Our Solemn Hour have nothing to do with each other LOL

[liilyarmstrong]

The background sound reminds me Understanding by Evanescence

[DarknessOfTheStorm]

oh my gosh, EVERYONE STOP ARGUING ABOUT EVANESCENCE AND WITHIN TEMPTATION. they are both totally amazing, unique and different bands! they both rock, can't we just enjoy both instead of arguing about whos better?

[Misamassacre96]

what the hell is happening to the sound?

[Radiskull1337]

Will you marry me!

[deokha]

Are the guitar man for show or something? I did not hear a single guitar -.-;;

[wcbombers21]

Damn Sharon you have amazing range in that golden voice!!! You are second to no other singer and they should all see you live and see how a real rock star sounds in the flesh!! your amazing!!

[LittleBluRidinHood]

whoa the drummers going for it :D

[twiwonder]

Amazing. She sings better live than Amy Lee, I think.

[LittleBluRidinHood]

@twiwonder well you have to think too, Amy Lee is running and jumping around on stage. but i respect your opinion.

[twiwonder]

@LittleBluRidinHood true, I just realized that. and thanks, dear.

[360Chaza360]

@LittleBluRidinHood amy lee is a bitch... :L

[MetalArmyXxx]

Their drummer lives behind me haha ^^ I know him in person XD

[EvilStargazer]

@MetalArmyXxx

Oh my god!

[music666able]

female fronted metal \m/

[GothicWarrior94]

Proof that she is singing live: She made a mistake at the lyrics near the beggining... ;) Man she is so... so....sooooo!

[douglasricardo27]

ella es la mejor xD

[UchihaYuuki65]

What does Sanctus Espiritus mean? I just love it~!

[GothicWarrior94]

@UchihaYuuki65 It is latin and it means Holy spirit

[Blindjohn]

@UchihaYuuki65 Holy sprit

[KwanOng]

it means Holy Sirit,what a nice Goly song:P

[zeldagirl1234]

I think it would sound a lot better if the bass was toned down a bit...

[07WinglessOrphans]

I love her voice! Not many singers sound good live, but her voice is just lovely! When she sings, she almost doesn't sound Dutch.

[rockettmeister]

where the hell are the guitars in the mix?!

[EvDestroyer]

@rockettmeister somewhere in background. In videos which are recorded from open air events, quality of sound is usually bad.

[fufycasu]

love WT but i think amy lee has a stronger and powerful scene on stage! i dunno....

[Daggroth]

her voice is pretty good but i dunno, she was kind of tired here

[Stonecold8911]

Damn we love her voice

[lullabyou]

sanctus espiritus = holy spirit, espiritu santo (plural)

[blackhoumor]

@lullabyou the plural is actually espiriti sancti^^

[Ginger13inverness]

@blackhoumor jep, sancto= dat or abl

[2316karen]

well....I'm into symphonic/gothic rock now!!!!

[emoboydepressed]

it means holy breath in latin

[macandtomas00]

what does sanctu espiritu mean ive looked and i cant find it

[lestatdulancroit]

its means holy spirits in latin

[Blindjohn]

@macandtomas00  Holy spirt

[metalmilitia733]

beautiful song! <3

[xBurnsinsideofme]

IS ANYONE LISTENING TO THE SONG?!

~ wt freak ~

[ladyrammie]

Ruud Jolieeeee (L) :D

[wiccansillusion]

According to my 30 something year old Goth Room mate this falls in the lines of Rock. Just because Goths do listen to something doesn't register it as Goth Metal.

[rainboworanges]

It's symphonic metal. Look it up. Symphonic metal is often confused with rock, because they are similar, but they're not the same.

[blue17eyes]

34. She was born in 1974. I love u Sharon <3

[haroulisev1]

how old is she 37 or something?

[TylerTown101]

gothic metal/symphonic rock dumbasses!

and wtf is that on her forehead, just asking, is it decoration or wat?

our solemn hour is mii fave song and wt is mii fave band!

[tundaja]

is some kind of diadem just an accessory to look pretier but in my opinion i dont like it (the accessory not the singer k?)

[ceyerbito]

so what

anyway

sharon is better

and whitin the best of th world

gotic power simphonic

no is important

[my21burnouts]

So I Dont know if im the only one that has noticed.... but what the hell is on her forehead above her right eye? Does anyone know?

[jameshowlett99]

Industrial-sized band-aid? o.o

[RegrettingCrimson95]

It looks like aluminum foil, but I highly doubt it IS. I think it's like a tiara that goes with the dress she's wearing, as it covers her entire forehead...and did you notice the same lock of hair on her forehead? That's kind of weird...

[NLreturns]

its a half of a tiara

[FearOfTheChosen]

I don't now what it's called, but it's kinda like face jewellry...like a large bindi, but fabric I think.

[RegrettingCrimson95]

It's a scarf...watch closely, you can see the trail at her back. Don't confuse it for the dress, though.

[slowkash]

i love goth music

[NLreturns]

called metal moron.

[slowkash]

haha your stupid.. if i said goth.. i dont care if its senti goth metal goth its all the same to me.. i love goth music.,.. haha stupid

[NLreturns]

u just said that against the wrong person matey, i nearly spend all of my life to music , i know all the diffrence and what u see here is melodic//opera metal with some taste.

[slowkash]

ah as you say.... but its still goth metal.. and its still got music.. hahaha

[NLreturns]

there doesn't excist something like gothic metal rofl. :P

[slowkash]

Their music is described as gothic metal, symphonic metal and gothic rock get it... you can see it on their website ok... there is gothic metal... tsk tsk tsk...... im new to music but your like a noobie to me... search gohic metal on the net and then eat your words

[NLreturns]

tsk tsk tsk.. its not a registerd metal thing , i searched it all out , power , heavy , melodic etc.etc. but no gothic , now shh :) kai kai ty ty <3 [ eat ur own words <3 ]

[mauigirl2228]

i think evanescence and within temptation are both amazing, but nothing alike.

and she seemed a bit outta breath in the end. lol. of course you cant blame her.

[jmifl]

perfect song!!!

[airrunweskerII]

Latin for "Holly Spirit"!

[solacewillow]

ths song brings to mind obama getting elected.

[djtennies]

I think there is only one people come from China here,it's me.

[EnvysGirl01]

They are so AWSOME!!!!

[ZOOZIPZAA]

actually i like the presentation but she is not like amy 4 real

[adeline7777]

u're right...sharon's even better

[ElinelovesWT]

Please stop comparing. It's annoying. =.= I love both bands.

[JosephKrammer]

Ho shit!

Are you still talking about the same shit?

Just listen OK?

[SoundsFan]

i love the fact that she can sing live!!!

some band singers cant even sing

[wolftear753]

OMG!!they are great!!

(and i love the fact that sharon does not wear ONLY black clothes like many other singers of this kind of music!! ^_^)

[kwcmined]

Sharon, te amamos desde Panama, within temptation la mejor banda

[xwithintemptationx]

can we please just appreciate i like sharon and amy you should too and just stop comparing.

[CosmicNoodleDancer]

Evanescence and Within Temptation are such amazing bands, so shut up and listen.

[clammyfanny]

Evanescence have actually been around since Amy was like 14.

[xToatsies]

So? Barely Nobodoy knew about them until "Fallen". Within Temptation released music before Evanescence, that is a fact but I dont know why it matters eiether way.

[DarkPassionPlay74]

Evanescence? mi chiedo ancora come facciano a paragonarli ai WT. Loro fanno più newmetal che gothic e poi.. da notare la differenza tra Sharon ed Amy..L'una è perfetta..l'altra vuol strafare troppo e resta senza fiato.Per me, son meglio i WT ;)

[h2s0h]

muy buena y profunda cancion me gusta

[DarkPassionPlaay]

awesome. epic .

[Littlec27]

Already saw them live four times. Saw this performance also. Not a big fan, but when I'm able to see them at a free festival near my house, I'm there :)

[RachellvdB]

I've seen them live ^^ At Appelpop, that's a festival in Holland xD Was só fucking cool =D

[denni342]

Saw them there too :)

Saw them also supporting Iron Maiden, they were much better @ appelpop :)

[Voids2006]

that arm of her's must be extreemly strong by now.

from all the live vid's iv seen, she waves it around for 80% of the song.lol

dont get me wrong, their music kicks ass,

but performance wise, they could work on a few things.

just my opinion

[Kiheifv]

Not bad, but she is no Amy Lee and they are no Evanescence, even if they do try to dress and sound like them..

[Birsan22]

thanks god they are not Evanescence...are you stupid Kiheifv?!do you know what symphonic and gothic metal means???!!!Evanescence isnt gothic and definetely isnt metal so how can you say WT try to be Evanescence?lame!!!!WT is a really original band and the only asemblance with Evanescence is the fact that both bands have a women-leader-singer...in rest they are soooo different thanks god!!!

[jinjantreprid]

evanescence is gothic and classical rock. but i agree!!! WT isn't trying to be Evanescence. And I like this song!

[360Chaza360]

@jinjantreprid within temptation have been making records since evanescene where still at band camp...

[TheCoverGirl96]

@jinjantreprid Evenescence is trying to be WT. The proof? WT came first.

[revilo178]

@TheCoverGirl96 both assertions (WT is copying Ev/Ev is copying WT) are bullshit.

[crystalowls]

@TheCoverGirl96 That's not true. In an interview, Amy from Evanescence said she only heard one or two songs by WT and that was after she started Evanescence.

[gembelobosok]

nice

[ReplicatorsReformed]

she has a better voice then amy lee lol

[Sebazzell]

Within Temptation has been around for a longer time than Evanescence.. And they don't even sound alike, nor does Sharon try to look like Amy.

[mosskuk]

this woman is amazing not many people who can sing live and pull it off.. awsome song awsome band... really stunning

[within17220]

jadore cette chanson mais alors en live elle est encore mieux

[TwlightdragonDF]

she kinda sounds like she has a stuffy nose but the songs so kickass it dosent matter..lol

[xToatsies]

even when sharon is sick she always does the best performance

[khainimis]

What is it mean "Santos Espiritus"?

[foreverjoyfull]

it is the holy spirit..

[BlackIndra]

It Means Holy Spirit, and the right spelling is Sanctus Spiritus

[khainimis]

nice voice.. beutful sharon..

[within1991]

nice drums work:D

[xsolysx]

Santos, espiritus!

[Trollina666]

sanctus.

[RaphieRio]

:} amazing.beautiful sharon/

one of the best lives of WT.

i'll see u soon guys :}

[gallan30]

this is awesome, but if you look closely you see something weird on her forhead..

[Anneli124]

Eh, I dunno if yer a fan but it's normal that Sharon has something on her forhead..

[gallan30]

i,m a fan but i usualy listin to her on my ipod, but thanks i was jst wondering

[Anneli124]

oh ok, naah it's normal for her

[Jealis1431]

Wow, it´s great. Sharon has such an amazing voice. Fantastic, i love it. WT 4-eva.

[Anneli124]

I hope that they'll come to pinkpop next year ;D

[Nenyawill]

Within Temptation are amazing, I love Sharon's vocals so much. I wish they'd play with Epica (Another symphonic metal band). Sharon and Simone's vocals are awe inspiring. Aha I'd like to see the new Nightwish as well, and Tarja :P. I love this song

[dangerousdave42]

I don't know about you but throw after forever in the mix as well and you just might have the best show ever

[stevenrwilkinson1000]

Sounds like a dream show to me :)

[EvLacrymosa]

I just recently got into Within Temptation. They are one of my favorite bands now along with Evanescence. The intro to this is flawless and so powerful. I wish they came to the US more!!!

[OldNightwishRules]

If you like evanescence and wt then you should get into Nightwish (the old nightwish with Tarja Turunen)

[EvLacrymosa]

Actually, I just bought a bunch of old Nightwish CDs last week! I haven't gotten a chance to listen to all of them yet, but I really like their sound. Thanks for the recommendation!

[OgTheClever1992]

Is it just me, or is Sharon wearing tin foil across her head?

Recently got into Within Temptaion, now one of my favourite bands of all time! This is such a great song!

[OH2]

It's just you. :P

No, she just likes to wear head decorations at their concerts. :D It looks very earthly, and Celtic. :) It really goes along with her voice. Plus, I think it's part of her stage identity, from what I've observed.

I've recently found out about WT a few days ago! I regret not knowing about them sooner! xD

[WorldTraveler17]

This song is great I love it!!! I love WT. Thank for uploading this video is AWESOME.

[dadaras12]

this song and the introduction gives me goosebumps,so bombastic and catschy

[blue17eyes]

Great! I am watching this over and over again

loving her dress

[scillik]

aaaa!! ma cosa sono quei cappelli rosa osceni del pubblico??????

[djibril84]

il festival si chiama pink pop... PINK pop... PINK= ROSA...

[guidoborner]

i have seen them live

[Illusionofmagic]

Whoa she is amazing. AWESOME! I love this song so much and she performed wonderfully, her voice is stunning :D

[r0cklif3]

They roooock <3

0h Gott I love them so much (L)

[DavidInRapture]

i am so glad my friend introduced me to WT's music... they are the best band ever!! this song is awsome, and i am seeing them on th 2nd August! i cant wait!

[OH2]

Where?! :O You lucky David! :P

[insanedemonspaz]

If it wasn't for Ozzfest I wouldn't even know about this band. They sound amazing live. Thanks for posting this.

[Orlintzar]

If you loved WT, try than with Nightwish.

:)

[insanedemonspaz]

Nightwish is good too.

[I8hell]

hell yeah nightwish is awesome these two bands are the best

[papershoess]

the beginning is awesome!

[19Nbsa92]

Love this song

[Franc1418]

Yesterday they were in Argentina....They were AWESOME!!!!! Hope they come back soon!!

[Evfan301]

Lol, she said the wrong lyrics at the beginning of the song. This song is so awesome! :D

[jcdark]

She does that often, but that's just how she is live >_>

[bihwt]

I love this music...I hope see them in optimus alive...I love WT...Sharon rules...XD

[bihwt]

I love this music...I hope see them in optimus alive...I love WT...Sharon rules...XD

[fridawigur]

[Rush1212]

[lordfahad]

[Wropera]

I'd LOVE to go to one of their concerts!! That would be so amazng!! Does anyone have an extra ticket??? LOL

[baby1ammie]

omg i'm going to see WT

i can't wait

did i said that right XD i don't think so :P

[LadyAngelyca]

i luw it ♥

[hietsefriets]

I <3 this band!

And it's awesome that u can hear the bass really good! At most/some bands u can't actually hear the bass

[thepaashaas]

in the beginning, in the song ice queen, you neaely don't hear the bass, just as what have you done.

[Rapunzel3333]

I dont´like the fire on the video

[Lilia1992]

The fire is a great effect. It fits with this song because this song is really about the Blitz and the fire represents the damage it did to Britain.

[SirXalforte]

so then is that winston churchil in the backgroud?

[Lilia1992]

Yes. It's the first speech he delivered as prime minister.

[amylee101]

I love what she does with her amrs it gets people into the song keep doing that thing with your arms I love it

[Lilia1992]

That is why I love Within Temptation so much. They don't care about the money, they care about making their fans happy!

[MasterSwordsman21]

the thing she does with her arm i her style so STFU about the arm it's her style leave her alone!!!!!!!!!!!

[LadyJuri89]

canta horrible en vivo. Grabado no me gusta tpco

[Lilia1992]

Sharon does not sing horrible live. Sheesh, get a life. WT are BRILLIANT

[kiotocitystories]

LadyJuri89

quiero oirte cantar en vivo asi como Sharon

[toatsies2354]

man those background vocal girls are annoying

[witchmind]

the background vocal girls are the best part in this song

[VeryCurlyWurly]

I love this song :D

[apepiep]

omg wtf why does she has to do so weird with her arm its like she's an robot. -.-

she really has to quit doing that its very annoying

[Rudaster]

Very Nice! That Freaking stuff she does with the arm piss me OFF!!! Man :S

[Tahget]

yeah, it seems like everyone pisses you of ^^

[HattersMuse]

The fire in front of the camera is so annoying!

[EvanescenceWTfreak]

Ik hou van WT ^^

Ik hoop dat ik jullie ooit kan meeten!

[SilmeBetty]

One of my favourite songs and performances from WT:) I love them:)

[ElinelovesWT]

Wow. Wonderful. <3

[Erykeandkatana]

Shes so good!

Some other singers cant sing live XD but she's great!

Oh My God, everybody please just watch the video and be mature about everything.

Oh, and the length of a band member's hair has nothing to do with the quality of their music.

Kay, thanks...-_-;;
