Northern Kings - In the Air Tonight

[critter19581446]

This is what a biker hears going down the road. Twist em up and ride.

[heveemedell]

I can't believe one of the most famous drum fills of all time got axed. Thumbs down....and out

[Diege29]

Hollòrd.

[DrSpooglemon]

Me gusta...

[DrSpooglemon]

Oh lorrrrd...

[Kamourianking]

What no badass drum solo?

[fatfatat444]

Viking + Phil Collins = Valhalla!!!

[metalkingdom100]

OH LARD!

[metalkingdom100]

love the way he says lord, he cant hear his finnish accent come through real neat sounding.

[sdegroot1]

@metalkingdom100 "I can feel it comin in the air tonight...oh Lard!" lol

[NecessityJames]

@metalkingdom100 Does that mean Lordi are Lardy with a Finnish accent? D:

[metalkingdom100]

@NecessityJames what?

[KhaozReaper]

all hail marco, may your beard grow ever more awesome!!!

[LaVoceDiDonna]

He's not a viking, but hell he looks like one!!!!

[DarkELfBG4ever]

@LaVoceDiDonna how do you know?^^

[LaVoceDiDonna]

@DarkELfBG4ever Finnish weren't vikings..were they? If they were, I am misinformed then ;-)

[DarkELfBG4ever]

@LaVoceDiDonna yeah i know, i'm just saying..XD he might have some viking ancestors among his finnish ones O.O

[LaVoceDiDonna]

@DarkELfBG4ever lol..he probably has it!!! That makes him sexy as hell! lol

[caramon770]

@LaVoceDiDonna Not really from what I've read. Most of them came from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, you know, Scandinavia. Finland isn't technically part of Scandinavia, but that doesn't mean there weren't vikings there.

[DarkELfBG4ever]

@caramon770 lol look down a bit, that's what she(?) said before, we said this just for fun, not really meaning it:)

[caramon770]

@DarkELfBG4ever Ahh. Sorry about that lol.

[Belidrayzz]

@caramon770 that and really he doesn't appear to have broad enough shoulders imho

[webought4]

Owhh Loaaarrhhdd....

HAAAAAAHAAAAHAHAA XD

But really really really good rendition.

[webought4]

Marco is god '-'

[Soada22]

this is fucking perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ebolish1992]

i really love this song... the original so i was worried about this. then I listened to it and was like hellz yea!

[lev0n3241968]

"Oghhh Lorr'd..."

[onshrooms420]

The Three Days Grace cover is better!

-watches how many thumbs downs I get-

[somesortanaughty]

Promise u gals..when this guy walks past u on the street..u cannot but stop and just wish u could grab him by that hair and drag him back to your bedroom and throw away the key...the dude is an AWESOME SIGHT!!

[dreamwind55]

@somesortanaughty well, I survived quite well...:)

[somesortanaughty]

@dreamwind55 ha ha... well, he makes my knees go all wobbly!!

[Aerondight]

Ending is amazing...

[goopah]

All these many years I hated this song...

...until just now

I could listen to this guy all day

[yayonoproblem]

keep on keepin on

[yayonoproblem]

lol your such a douchebag. but i like it

[Onyx0Mango]

Lol, I love how he says "Oh Lord." ;D

[nunadvisch]

OH LARD!!

[LKWolff]

oh lard?

[jjholmes745]

@LKWolff He's Finnish

[Tessasc1]

If there was a "This is soooooooooo epic"-button, I would have clicked it! ... why isn´t there?

[CrashEddie7]

@Tessasc1

there's the "your reaction" button ;)

[OBL1997]

It's not better that the oroginal version but it's still EPIC!

[Tessasc1]

This is incredible! Soooo epic!

[greendaypic]

Watch out Eric Northman...............

[TheCakeIsntReal]

This is as good as the original.

I thought it was impossible.

[AroxNebelregen]

Boah is das ein Sound!!!!!!! Geil!!!!!

[Roald13th]

While God invented music, he thought of this guy!!

[DeadGrandpa]

They didn't have the drumline dat made this song

[inzizor]

Just me or does he sound kinda like meatloaf?

And i mean that in a great way!

[kombusa]

not fully true tarja was kicked out

[ravenrapunzel]

Dynamic, stunning cover performance from this immensely talented musician, songwriter, and producer! He has infused his personality and skills into this well known song and made it his own!

[makosharkman]

@ravenrapunzel is that the guy from nightwish.

[spudsucker]

@makosharkman

yes

[makosharkman]

@spudsucker i herd nightwish broke up.

[Michiru7690]

@makosharkman nope

[dimezakkrandy]

@makosharkman They're actually putting together an album that accompanies a movie.

Its called "Imaginarium".

[makosharkman]

@dimezakkrandy for real I am looking forward to that are you?

[dimezakkrandy]

@makosharkman You have no idea.

I need more material to practice singing to!

[makosharkman]

@dimezakkrandy what are you talking about you sounds like you are Marco.

[dimezakkrandy]

@dimezakkrandy I like singing along with Marco.

He's my favorite male singer.

[pimpeljoentje]

I just love the vulnerable part in the beginning!

[NineMonthMedia]

"I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh laaaard"

[metalmonkey88]

@NineMonthMedia hahahahahahahahahahahah!!!! oh LAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRDDDDDD!!!!!

[BeowulfIam]

I like this. I really do. There are just some people you can't cover. Phil Collins is one of those people. It's just not the same.

[RoseTattooAzul]

wow! this is amazing! first time listening to it, i love it!

[Jayman135861]

And yet again these assholes manage to ruin another song, GOD DAMNIT!



[dgaflord]

I dunno... Still love it, but for once I think Marco's accent may not have helped. At least for the "oh lord" part. Everything else is still godly.

[Skelros]

"nightwish, sonata artica" -__-

[d44n]

What a song rapage.

Totally raped the original song by Phil Collins.

[calalix]

HOLY SHIT HE IS A FUCKING VIKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rsmothersjr]

@calalix Finns weren't Vikings, hate to disappoint. Danes, Norwegians and Swedes, all Scandinavian. Finns are Nordic but not Scandinavian. Fierce horsemen, though, really did a great job for Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus in the 30 Years War.

[YouSuckCack]

No one beats Phil



[yveskc]

A Man with a great mustache is a Man with great Responsibilities.

[metalkingdom100]

@yveskc its a beard not a mustcache.

[DarkNightWolve]

it sounds more like `Loard`

[Xyleera8]

@DarkNightWolve That would still be the same as "Lord". Think "oat"

[christopherawesome]

oh leoeard, oh leoard

[TheAndy069]

Great Cover.Great Vocal

[kuriboh400]

My lord they do so many covers! But well one thing i love about them. They take something and make it there own. And they have fun it seems doing it

[afanofmeanythings]

@kuriboh400

Of course they do "so many covers", they're a cover band...

[kuriboh400]

@afanofmeanythings I did not know that then. But i have to say they make every thing seem there own

[elmokid1234]

@agibbs98 just because you dont like this version doesn't mean you have to bring the video down by pasting negative comments all over it fail troll has failed that is all

[Akititan]

Powerful version, Hietala rocks...except for "Oh Lard" jeje.... Axel Rudi Pell's version is way much better in my personal opinion... the German Wizard is the king!

[Akititan]

Powerful version, Hietala rocks...except for "Oh Lard" jeje.... Axel Rudi Pell's version is way much better in my personal opinion... the German Wizard is the king!

[adXok]

Worst cover ever... the voice is just wrong.

[justatallguy]

OOh LARRRD!!

[rockmasterz97]

the version of Phil Collins is much better. not that thit bad is but this has not enough emotion

[tjon4565]

this album should be burned o my god

[mxjerrett]

I can feel coming in the air tonight. OH LARD!

[InnerMessiah]

Check out Axel Rudi Pell´s version of this song, it´s much better than this...which doesn´t mean that this is bad, but it has much more emotion.

[Nibenay3000]

@InnerMessiah Opinions are never wrong, but I certainly don't share yours in regards to these two versions. Pell's version was far more dry, boring, uninspired, and to be honest, not nearly displaying as much technical or compositional skill. Not trying to over-praise Northern Kings, but in structure, style, and technique they win hands down. In my most humble opinion of course.

[Henkwich]

Most of the song is decent but the way he sings "Oh lord" is flipping ridiculous. Thumbs down

[cavemancyproductions]

...after 3:00 it's good!!!

[PsychoBirdie]

Hietala is a metal king. Why does James Hetfield rape his songs with his cowboy accent? The slight Finnish accent Hietala has still sounds better than anything Hetfield does. Hetfield has great lyrics, but his singing just sounds too country.

[Sorrowisyourdemon]

Great voice, unfortunate accent for this song.

I like this cover personally.

[nibyKamil]

can U feel it? sorry its my vomit:-/

[RunningWithin]

@nibyKamil You just saw your grotesque little cock again, didn't you? IT's okay, just because that's what she said doesn't mean you're not a normal person, you're just...... Different.

[nibyKamil]

@RunningWithin first: i never say, i am a normal person. second: wtf is "grotesque little cock"? you talk about your self, or something :-P

[RickmanSlickman]

Why is he raping this song??!?!?

Oooohhhh Laaawwwwwwrrrd!!!

[TwlightdragonDF]

@RickmanSlickman open mouth insert dick.

[RickmanSlickman]

@TwlightdragonDF

Uhh yeah dude, i could have sworn you just asked me to suck dick?

Then again with a name like Twlightdragon why am i not suprised. You go ahead and keep thinking about guy on guy blowjobs twink boy.

Your comment=failsauce

[TwlightdragonDF]

@RickmanSlickman way to have the most predictable come backs in history, but thats what you get mister slickman.

[Kalametor]

@RickmanSlickman fag

[bchobo]

@RickmanSlickman this song is way better then the original version

[vgneus]

@bchobo that's not true but it's close

[quiet4us2]

someone tell him to please stop singing

[billyblooo]

Oh Laard!

[MzVictoriaStar]

This isnt the best cover... but is sure aint the worst!!! I like it and give it a Thumbs UP... for Gigundous Kahunas :D !!!!

[iluvpokemonmasters]

excellent cover!

[BubbleGumTaco]

sounds like Nell when he sings "lord"

[baconandeggslol]

LAWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRD is epic

[battletweeter]

this sounds great, until he sings the word "lord"

he says "lord" with a southern accent!!! LOL

but other than that glaring....musical "stick in the eye", this sounds great.

[metalman6886]

Lol, great cover, amazing amazing amazing....

The accent makes me giggle at times though, lol.

[SkeletorElector]

@AbbaTheHut hahaha

[VaiTrooper]

Pure genius

[SakuraMayonaka]

this band is EPIC!!!! i love cover bands , especially rock/metal covers. this band has really impressed me, i love the original as well but i love they're style.it almost seems like they're in a musical XD

[TheEmpireofEagles]

any version of this song you anticipate the drum thingy :D doosh doosh doosh!

[pintamicerca]

@TheEmpireofEagles damn,,, it wasn't as epic as i expected

[gecek987]

I really hope that Phil Collins hasn't heard this version, cause this is so bad.... I would send them to court, if i was in his place! :P

listen to Axel Rudi Pell cover, now that's a great song!

[TheMetalhead98]

@gecek987 phil collins had to hear this because he owns the song therefore he had to give them permission to put it on the album....he must have liked it because he gave them permission

[nexusutube]

@TheMetalhead98 You don't need permission to do cover versions. The copyright only means the author gets royalties. If someone makes major changes to a song like rappers creating new lyrics over someone else music then they need permission.

[phreeck988]

@nexusutube Kinda like Kanye West's cover of Daft Punk, right?

[nexusutube]

@phreeck988 No he sampled them and added lyrics so he needed permission. The original song writer can object to whoever is sampling and adding things they don't agree with. For instance if someone didn't like the message of gangsta rap they could stop it being combined with their music.

[phreeck988]

@nexusutube That's what I was saying. Kanye's 'cover' falls under the 'needs permission' part of your previous comment. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

[zing803]

what i liked the moust in the original song was the ending it is epic and i think shouldnt have been changed. except for that it is a pretty good cover

[ragnar12100]

the dude looks awwsome, but i dont know if hes in viking metal

he plays bass with nightwish

[saszer20]

Jesus Christ, never ever let him sing again :/ i listened to his songs many times, and im disappointed :/

[tinoisajew1]

this isnt that good

[alexgatos78]

it takes balls just to think about covering this song. This sounds great.

[gingerjewdaywalker]

very pretty

[barunka0010]

It is the best version of this song for me. Marco sings like GOD!

[MSDesign87]

@barunka0010

lol

[serendipity4212]

Interesting take on the original. I think I would have preferred the rest of the band to kick in only for the last chorus, like in Phil Collins's version, but the beginning was really really cool.

[mOBSCENEify]

awesome song! both this and the original!

[jiannotto9492]

nothing beats the original but this is pretty good

[94donnacone]

hey does anyone know if they have orginal material? would love to something that they did

[wiggitywackwack]

@94donnacone each member of Northern Kings has their own band. (Band names in parentheses)

Jarkko Ahola (Teräsbetoni),

Marco Hietala (Nightwish and Tarot),

Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica)

Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto (Charon).

[fieldopen07]

Metallica is so much better

[foreverdarkness2]

Metallica fucking sucks ass who ever said this sounds like Metallica needs to die and his/her stupid fuck bag family Metallica is are fucking sell outs so go suck a dick you stupid mother fucker

[Jodyholt902]

Don't dislike the song because of some pronounciation. He's Finnish for Christ's sake, give the dude a break. People from the Netherlands don't sound just like us, so shut up.

[Undercoverfire]

@Jodyholt902 Hey stupid, Finnish people are from Finland, Dutch people are from the Netherlands.

[GlossyStarGirl101]

in all the bands that Marco has played in, his voice blows all male singers for me. and i love his accent!

[klondike0515]

@GlossyStarGirl101 hes got three bands northern kings was the one he started with some friends then he started tarot with a couple people and he does bass in Nightwish

[Pureflow7]

NORTHERN KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GWBullcrap]

FAIL!

[GlossyStarGirl101]

@GWBullcrap how dare you say fail! he is awesome! he is awesome, he is awesome and the song is awesome and the song is awesome!!

[darthy0da]

Aww, they didn't keep the mini-drum solo that, in my opinion, made the original song so popular. Oh well, it's still a good song. I think "Don't Stop Believin'" is still their best cover, though.

[Jodyholt902]

@darthy0da Take On Me has to be their best cover, compared to the original. But Don't Stop Believin' is really good too. :)

[darthy0da]

Yeah, "Take on Me" is right up there with "Don't Stop Believin'" as their best cover.

[ddrmaniafreak]

these guys are fucking awesome.

[SimulereAvDetPokkerz]

I, personally, love the way that he says "Lord." I think it's keeping true to his accent, and not trying to 'fix' it to *English* standards.

[BjoernLewin]

don't like the pronunciation - sorry

"Oh LoRRRRRRd" - no need for that

[Sagenergy]

HEHE! I love the way he says LORD.

[TheCellistStarlet]

@Sagenergy OH LARRRDDDDD

[Youtubican]

@Sagenergy

Lawrrrrrd. :D

[ThyRequiem]

"I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh looooRRRRRRd."

I lol'd heartily.

[kamocean]

their best foot is definitely their back foot on this one, but it is still leaps and bounds better than a lot of the abominable versions of this song i have heard!

[arrowmanmike]

this is good

[FELNOTH]

it is marco from nightwish singing is a powermetal super-group they are an all cover band and i doubt they will make a real album as they all have their own bands as well. i do like most of their stuff. and they sound NOTHING like Metallica other band members are Tony kakko( Sonata Arctica) J Aholoa (Terasebtoni) JP Leppaluoto (Cheron) sorry dont know how to get the accent marks but those are the band members and their respective bands also check out marcos other band tarot.

[in0neday]

wannabe metallica?

[IndianBumRash]

@in0neday Wannabe smartass? Fail. They sound nothing like Metallica. Does Metallica have four vocalists? Nope. Does ANYONE in Metallica have a Finnish accent? Nah. So, speak your faggotry elsewhere.

[in0neday]

hahah did you get butthurt bc i suggested your wanna be band that only seems to do poor renditions of other bands music sounds like metallica? lol what a loser..get a life dude and stop trolling youtube..

[endlessmisery15]

@in0neday Same to you

[JZ1917]

@in0neday you must be deaf. If this sounds like Metallica my ass farting sounds like you talking. (Maybe it does really)

Dumbass

[gecek987]

@JZ1917 this sounds worse than metallica, now just imagine how bad this must be....

[Pandiemonium]

@JZ1917 If it has an electric guitar, the consensus of youtube thinks it sounds like Metallica. I've seen comments saying Killswitch Engage, Symphony X, Dream Theater, This Kingdom Shall Fall, anything with a hint of metal sounds like Metallica. I personally think Metallica sounds like Nickelback in an alternate reality where their parents didn't love them enough to spoil 'em stupid.

Been loving these guys so far.

@Sagenergy I know, right? xD He has that sarcastic i don't give a fuck tone.

[MrPikkis]

@in0neday I agree with these other people, in0neday. This sounds nothing like Metallica. I'd suggest you'd youtube some Metallica songs so you'd know what you're talking about. Not that i disrespect your opinion, it's just that it doesn't make much sence.
