Sonata Arctica - 08 - Flag In The Ground (Lowlands 2009)

[TajemnaTemnota]

WE ARE FREE!

[Heyheyhey741]

The keyboardist seems nervous

[ely010101]

watching this video with a couple of beers.....perfect!!!!!!

[thierryu3]

bad crowd because sonata arctica isn't a kind for music that get much low lands people but if you go to uuhm a finish of japane's consert or some shit like that you get much more and better crowd. thx SA best band ever !!!!

[trota12]

bass in the ground ..

[IBJ57]

@trota12 I have always hated his tone. Def. the worst bass tone in power metal, huge bummer.

[TykOsst]

One of the most beautiful music I ever heard in my entire life. The melody, lyrics, engaging storyline, beat the mixture with the "feudal" ... Finally, a complete translation of a beautiful work done!

[HatredHazard]

3:15 Now that persons looks excited...

[Neverender412]

This lacks guitar :( oh well, great quality upload otherwise, thank you! Another awesome performance by SA.

[3g2i]

A man who want be deaf later ^^

[Vacofull]

2:59 WTF?!

[daesrame]

Ché Guevara!? O.o

1:29

[Sqediak]

Sonata Arctica is so much better then Dragonforce !!!!:D

[Windsofthewild]

@Sqediak than*

[Supersomonerandom]

@Sqediak than*

[T3hBAMFchann3l]

@Sqediak i like dragonforce just as much as i like sonata arctica... but... your opinion, i can't change it

[hoogerson]

keyboard sounds amazing in this song...

[luvtwoluv]

Does anyone know if theirs a dvd or cd of them from the lowlands they are so perfect live

[imcominforyou]

@luvtwoluv Nah, it only broadcasted on TV. But they have a live DVD coming out soon.

[luvtwoluv]

@imcominforyou

You talking about for the sake of revenge?i have the dvd/cd combo They are really awesome live Not alot of bands are good live

[imcominforyou]

@luvtwoluv Nah, although I have it too. They already taped a live show earlier this year and said they are going to release it late 2011/early 2012

[mariodik]

i hear backing vocals but anybody is doing it??? so?

[dallowow]

3:00 lol

[zansarr666]

@dallowow agree^^ what was camera man thinking?:P

[IceBlade2009]

Where's the guitar? Too much bass ain't good.

[Supersomonerandom]

@IceBlade2009 no guitar in dis one

[liiselorex]

the crowd is so damn lame...

[Supersomonerandom]

@liiselorex so wat

[AnthroTsuneon]

I think the guitar should've been tuned better before the show, besides that, epic song, epic band, epic festival

[GenosiveVagener]

käykää kuuntelemas



[GenosiveVagener]

käykää kuuntelemas

[NemooSK]

awesome, but no idea why crowd is just standing still... cmon, JUMP and SING!!!

[AlejoManila]

Tommy Portimo is a Fuckin Machine!

[wisiano]

jejeje BlackOut XD

[IxISxMAGIC14]

Man, I want to see at least one concert live from these guys before I die. Of coure, that wsounds a little overdramatic.

[stefimoto]

They are totaly bad on this video, i don't know why, it sounds bad to me

[latuman]

@stefimoto Very poor mix.

[Sqediak]

best Power Metal bands ever

1.Sonata Arctica

2.Kamelot

3.Sabaton

4.Manowar

[whyallaguru]

@Sqediak Sonata, Kamelot and Sabaton are badass! Never heard Manowar before but the other three are amazing!

[1234Dandyman]

@Sqediak Where are Dragonforce??? There all good but come on at least because of the solos

[Sqediak]

@1234Dandyman Dragonforce is good but without ZP Theart they are worst !!

[whitezone]

@Sqediak I think it´s better blind guardian than kamelot, but it´s just my opinion

[puerko9112666]

crowd sucks

[Supersomonerandom]

@puerko9112666 theyre just chillin not everyone wants to be in huge mosh pit

[Laoruperteen18]

@puerko9112666 they might just be tired =/

[SSJ3Croat]

I LOVE SONATA ARCTICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SSJ3Croat]

dudes, the guy on keybords is called Henrik

[maplegodx150]

I start to laugh when i see the guy on key board =P

[JepardyGo]

@maplegodx150 In Soviet Russia, the guy on the keyboard starts to laugh when he sees YOU.

[alexmatrix1995]

i posted blackout , the 1996 version of flag in the ground where marko is guitarist:)

[DEMONOBABEN]

Come to Russia plsss!!!!!

Metal forever <3

[CuzWereSpecial]

I think they need to turn down the vocals and turn up the guitarists amp!!!!!

[jisoli12]

that a good guitarist Elias Viljanen jejeje cool I like sonata

[orchimaru123]

man here in the usa when lamb of god plays in ur ear phones you head bang but when ur watching live you go fucking insane! create a mosh pit a shit

[SilverAsakura]

3:37 that girl is having an eargasm listening to Henrik's solo... so am i :D

[TheVikingheart]

that guy from 1:36 is the host of the World of Jenks

XD

[eek3210]

respect for the drummer

[Windsofthewild]

I dreamed about them.. i was drinking with their vodka... best band.

[KiLLeRxxBuNNy]

2:59 EPIC FAIL!

[XXbAtTLeSuitXX]

@KiLLeRxxBuNNy hahahhaa xD

[KiLLeRxxBuNNy]

crowd didnt rock!

[mashugac]

I didn't think that any metal song without guitar could sound like music. But here you go.

[TToud]

fuck thats so epic

[Utpir]

great performance!

[xSnickerd]

<3

<3

<3

[MrBRFB]

AWESOME!!!!!!!! I'm 12 years old and i love Sonata Arctica! There are not so much metal fans on my age!

[jenskeroro]

@MrBRFB I´m 12 too and I love Sonata and tons of of other metal bands. I have a playlist on my channel wuth metal bands. Check it out

[Moradob]

@jenskeroro I'm 14 and I've loved Sonata since I was 10 years old when I first discovered them. Oh, and I'm a girl.

[jenskeroro]

@Moradob oh. i think i started listening to them when I was then too. btw im 13 not twelve.

[Mylastdawnofficial]

What's up with the guitar playing? Was it just me or is Elias getting sloppy? 

[StewieSwan]

@Mylastdawnofficial He always is

[Gego01]

@Mylastdawnofficial Not sloppy, it's just barely audible, i blame the soundtech.

[Tibbyo0oShamandalie]

I love when he shouts like that

2:51, 3:05 , 3:48,

[347529]

Best performance without guitar ever!

[startkickinbass]

that was sick :)

[bassface17]

Guitar doesnt exist on this mix.

[Argothman1]

@bassface17 That's actually cool with me, I find symphonic (especially, but not limited to) metal a lot better with lower guitar volume. This song is awesome without the guitar!

[TToud]

2:44 that girl (background) looks like meekakitty xD

[gotthkid2]

@TToud who is meekakitty? is it a youtube celeberty?

[TToud]

@gotthkid2 thats a girl on Youtube, i don't watch her vids but my sister do and she said that meekakitty looks exactly like her.

[gotthkid2]

@TToud oh ok..thx

[fodibo]

When the sticking the flag in the ground came I cried. Im dead serious

[biohazard526]

it seems like hes singing slower than he does on the cd version

[segocaca]

Why the fuck do they not show Elias?

[KazumaBR]

@segocaca I guess he doesn't stop, he keeps running all over the satage....

[Bakeerful]

3:16 Michael Jackson

[stefimoto]

@Bakeerful No, it's tuomas holopainen

[Bakeerful]

@stefimoto really? huh then nevermind.....xD

[stefimoto]

@Bakeerful hehehe xD

[blablibloblablo]

@Bakeerful he sucks

[xXMONGUSXx]

me encantha yhea viva sonata arctica!!

[ironpianist]

actualy this band is really good dey dont need a second guitar when playing live. its more challenging playing wid one guitarist and one bassist. why ? since there is no second guitarist the bassist needs make the bass sing, fill - ins, scale, and etc. so the band would sound solid and not incomplete. second the lead can be easily heard thus making them an amazing band

[FrkBerwald]

Days of Grays is one of the best albums ever made!

[brianhasleft]

@FrkBerwald I dunno man i really like Reckoning night. But days of grays was awesome

[joniiboy]

They need more guitar and less bass :p

[JoseDavid281]

Absolutely more rythm guitar and Base drums

[inMYtimeOFneed92]

the guitar low volume is due to a problem in the uploading of the videos, i noticed that also in a series of live video from gojira... however, Sonata Arctica FTW XD

[EitievulE]

very great song

one of their best \m/

[RubenAlexis18]

more guitar is lazy

[347529]

This is their best song :D And I like the couple at 1:33 ^^

[TrapnestShinigami]

Fanboys de Jani que no aprenden a dejarlo ir luego de 3 AÑOS...

LARGO A ESCUCHAR A CAIN'S OFFERING

[Droebelma3]

The festival was Lowlands Not a metal festival , there were a lot of artist ( like Snoop Dogg) so much of them didn't konow or like sonata arctica, so they were so boring, the guitar sound was good in their show, but in this film not :O /watch?v=W3nIjJr4ht8 same festival , same performance but louder guitar

[kane19394]

los Bass suena muy feos :S ni se escucha bien la bateria ni la guitarra a la bateria ni se le escucha los dobles bombos D: solo se escuchan bien los efectos del teclado... si abria estado jani habria sido diferente esta cancion y sonata

[gargolic]

dejar ir a jani fue un error....estas son las consecuencias

[ByJFB8800]

@gargolic totalmente de acuerdo, es MALISIMO el nuevo guitarrista, al principio le erra pero MAL a la melodia de la cancion, que es mas facil de tocar que el riff de smoke on the water, despues le sale para el orto el solo

ensima tony canta cada vez peor,

[gargolic]

@ByJFB8800 y para colmo el bajo se escucha mas ke la guitarra......seria bueno ke conecten el bajo a un distorcionador..seria lo mejor.....

[EdwardAlchemist343]

@ByJFB8800

En cierta forma estoy de acuerdo, desde la salida de Jani de Sonata, esta decayendo

[TrapnestShinigami]

@EdwardAlchemist343

Am, no...

[EdwardAlchemist343]

@ByJFB8800

Tienes razon, esto pasa porque Tony se adueño de la banda despues de que Jani se fue, desde ese momento Sonata empezo a decaer

[TrapnestShinigami]

@ByJFB8800

Nuevo?....

Lleva 3 AÑOS en la banda, NO ES NUEVO

YA MADUREN O LARGUENSE A ESCUCHAR A CAIN'S OFFERING donde está su dios Jani

[TrapnestShinigami]

@gargolic

Nadie lo dejó ir. ¿Qué no lees las entrevistas o te informas un poquito?

El se LARGÓ de la banda porque quizo, y si no te gusta la canción, ahí hay un botón de cruz hasta arriba del lado derecho.

NADIE corrió a Jani, Jani se fue porque quizo.

Y por cierto, esta canción es de 1996....

[gargolic]

@TrapnestShinigami y yo en ke momento dije ke lo corrieron a jani?......Y NO ..NO ME GUSTA PARA NADA LA CANCION.......es demasiado comercial.......incluso mas ke las canciones de unia.........lo de ke la cancion es de 199 eso si no te discuto por keno lo se.....igual jani cuando se fue se llevo el espiritu de sonata...aguante cains offering!!!!

[EdwardAlchemist343]

@gargolic

Alfin alguien que entiende, Sonata no es el mismo desde q Jani se fue

Aunque no tengo nada en contra de lo nuevo en Sonata, he de admitir que decayo mucho de sus buenos tiempo

[gargolic]

@EdwardAlchemist343 esto es casi como el problema ke tuvo helloween cuando se fuie kai hansen...helloween(sonata arctica) se hizo comercial pero kai hansen(jani liimataimen) formo su grupo gamma ray(cains offering) y siguio con el buen power metal ..jaja XD

[EdwardAlchemist343]

@gargolic

Si tienes razon, es la misma historia

[TrapnestShinigami]

@EdwardAlchemist343

Deathaura mata todo.

[TrapnestShinigami]

@gargolic

Bueno, no conosco a alguien que se mete a un video de una canción que no le gusta a comentar basura, a menos que sea un masoquista :D

[gargolic]

@TrapnestShinigami es ke bueno la cancion es decente en estudio....y me meti a verla en vivo para ver si mejoraba.....pensando ke iba a ser mucho mejor......

[TrapnestShinigami]

@gargolic

Y ya los viste a ellos tocarla en vivo?

Estos videos no son muy buenos que digamos....

Mi consejo: Velos en vivo o espera a que salga en 2011 el DVD que van a grabar ahorita en Septiembre en Milan

[EcoFascist]

The singer is completely absent. Is he high, drunk or is he depressed?

[Droebelma3]

@EcoFascist

I think depressed , his last album is a depressive one so..

[EcoFascist]

@Droebelma3 Sad thing, cause he's really good and time flies by

[IRONCRIER5]

this crowd is making me angry this is by far thier best preformance and the audience looks like their at a fucking jimmy buffet show

[Spencer12404]

Damn he can sing just as well live as he can in studio. I agree the guitar wasn't loud enough but everything else was 100% spot on. Finnish Metal is the best music in the world.

[gamepoe]

@Spencer12404 they turned the guitar down cause he's not JANI!! and yes im still upset about that

[TheFloriman]

the guitar sound is very low,that kinda ruins everything,but still sonata arctica rulez

[Tuomaslotte]

Tony Kakko is sooo cute :D

[BlondeSakana]

Tony Kakko is a God.

[ForeverWarBound]

they dont need more guitar...dont get me wrong but its not the only instrument there its fun i play myself but it takes them all to make it great besides tony kakko writes everything he balances out the instruments

[Bassvokal]

xdacepriestx. i agree whit you kinda, theyre awsm but they should try to have some more guitar !

[XtremeCam]

0:00 to 4:32 is epic.

[shidload]

This audience sucks.

[dialogoconlamuerte]

Man...no offense, but european crowd are lame sometimes....here in Latin america we are so energic in Metal concerts!

[CantNoScope]

@dialogoconlamuerte It's true, i've heard the difference between european concerts and other concerts. American (Latin, North, and South), and Asian concerts are always crazy good!

[XtremeCam]

@CantNoScope Yeah what's with those Europeans? It's a metal concert, go wild, don't sit there nodding your head and staring, shiiiiit.

[SSJ3Croat]

@dialogoconlamuerte you should see me and my friend here in Croatia ;)

[Windsofthewild]

@dialogoconlamuerte probably you're fat and wear glasses and you are a lame

[dialogoconlamuerte]

@Windsofthewild Touched a nerve there huh?? and no, I´m not fat, I do not wear glasses, and I´m not lame...but whatever man haha

[Savstad95]

@dialogoconlamuerte

Maybe so, but in my opinion, this song is not a song to headbang too, more one to sing quietly along to, or just listen...

But i get you, and next month, im going to an Avenged Sevenfold concert... We're gonna be so loud!

[666abigailwilliams]

@dialogoconlamuerte the crowd is terible becouse this is not a metal festival

[Celanism]

@dialogoconlamuerte Sweden crowd ruleeeeez!! <3

[ESPBVilleValo]

@dialogoconlamuerte Well, i think it is typical for festivals in europe.

Many people can not accept other bands so they behave like undeads in the crowd.

[hietala84]

@dialogoconlamuerte You are right!!!....Could you imagine a concert with fans from Mexico;Venezuela;Colombia,Bras­il,Chile and Argentina!!!All mixed together!!!???

[MoOsHw]

Sorry asshole.

[MoOsHw]

U fuckwit, the thing in the singer's ears are speakers so he can hear himself sing better instead of hearing his voice blast out of the speakers in front of the stage, they help him sing, u obviously know fuk all about music...

[RadicalCreations42]

I need a decent drum kit.

[mattliebl6199]

Get either a tama or pearl

[cacacacosa]

@KagamiTraumend You don't need to headbang like mad to show you are enjoying. He's looks to me like he's just trying to listen properly to a song he probably hasn't listen to before.

However, that's still not a reason to bomb him.

[zookeeper220]

......damn!

[timosha21]

was this a music festival. It looks like a tent 0:20

[Marcoti93]

Yes, it was at Lowlands, Biddinghuizen (The Netherlands) in 2009 ;)

[akemichan88]

I was there and it was amazing!

[cacacacosa]

@KagamiTraumend A lot of people are wearing them. Maybe it was too loud, that kind of shit happens specially on some festivals.

[olea1988]

2:59 lol para que va a un concierto si no le gutas lo que escucha????? xD

[ibanez33150]

why is tommy playing a pearl kit??? no more premier?

[mattliebl6199]

i guess cuz he wanted to try something new. im actually stuck between Tama or Pearl.

[DrumsMPXF]

@ibanez33150 yes, i liked more the premier kit, it sounded better with his paiste cymbals...

[MetalMiklos]

how can tony scream like at 3:53?? :O Its very hard...

[xdavepriestx]

more guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[blablibloblablo]

@xdavepriestx no that makes this song so great

[RockerJayden]

I wish the guitar was louder. Oh well, still good as

[dauda1O]

omg that guy on 1:03 looks like Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter and the goblet of fire =O

[speedy12200]

i love sonata arctica

[Mejo4eva]

LOL at 1:34

"Not now honey"

[GiannsmitH]

@Mejo4eva malisimo-

[WolfWarHeart]

@Mejo4eva xDDDD

[blablibloblablo]

@Mejo4eva that doesn't even make sence

[fodibo]

@Mejo4eva haha

[cain241282]

The drummer is Tommy Portimo. datasheet.

[huskar23]

@BodomBlastBeats and I m sure that he is tons better than you..

[dauda1O]

u think u're better than missterrrrrr Portimo? =D

[nighthorseman85]

what did edward cullen do there???

[aaestrella]

En que pais fue?

[cain241282]

Alemania, paises bajos.

[dauda1O]

aww i love the keytars sound :D

[ThePowerMetalManiac]

they put on a great show

[L0tusPrimaria]

Jani vai fazer falta eternamente no Sonata Arctica!!!

[etolap]

crowd totally dead :( that's sad (i think) xD
