[ap0calypt1ca]

Lol I remember at the end of Inquisition Symphony I almost passed out from cheering so much. I was like "Oh yeah, I gotta breath." Good times :)

[corvotheband]

Totally! A lot of the footage in this video [all of the windmill-action from Eicca and Perttu] are from Inquisition Symphony!

[ap0calypt1ca]

OMG...Their cover of Nothing Else Matters makes me cry. ITS THAT GOOD :) Corvo if they come again are you gonna go :)?

[corvotheband]

You're so right: it IS that great of a cover... I have to say, I prefer it to Metallica's original! Hellz YEAH, I'm going! I'm seeing them in Tulsa on August 6th... counting down the minutes! ;o) -NiNi

[ap0calypt1ca]

I want to come to the Tulsa show but my parents won't allow me :( I live like 4-5 hours away near Ft.Worth. Make another vid to share okay :) and send it to me ^^ I wanna feel like I was there :)!

[dragonrose1125]

Thanks for sharing this video with me, NiNi! This is fantastic! I hadn't heard of Apocalyptica before, but I really enjoy them.

[corvotheband]

DragonRose - I'll have to send you a list of songs that would be great for you to try out... knowing your taste in music, and your soul ;o), I KNOW you'd just LOOOVE these guys! -N.

[DevilStarDivine]

Hei Corvo, thanks for sending me this vid.

Loved it :)

Apocalyptca is among my favorite bands (they are from my country too) though i never had chance to see them live.

You were so close to them! :)

[corvotheband]

We WERE so close to them! Sometimes, that whole show seems like a dream... that's why I had to do the documentary... to remember it really happened! ;o)

I'm so happy you liked the video!

[ap0calypt1ca]

I agree about it feeling like a dream. When I left I was like... "Did I really just see my favorite band live in concert?" Then I remembered why my ears where hurting O.O lol. APOCALYPTICA FOREVER!!! <3333 COME BACK TO DALLAS SOON!!!

[corvotheband]

LOL! I know it. My ears hurt for DAYS. I think my ears hurt more from the Apo show than from any others, and I've seen some pretty heavy shows! It's pure Cello Metal destruction!! \m/ -NiNi

[theknive]

I saw them at graspop a few weeks ago. they rule !

[corvotheband]

Hee hee! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! :D

[luv2rock101]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[corvotheband]

Thanks so very much!! -NiNi

[Willvarrin]

well done, I love it!:D

[corvotheband]

Thanks!! :D -NiNi

[ap0calypt1ca]

I still can't figure out. Was the 2nd Encore planned, because they kinda acted surprised O.o

[corvotheband]

I think it was planned, but I think they were just so very surprised at how crazy we all went for them! I don't think they expected to be so well-received in the ol' U-S-of-A. :o)

[LucianoVicSo]

Muito bom.. gostei!!!

[ap0calypt1ca]

I was there also. The one who took the Vid was stading really close to me O.o I hope they do come back to Dallas I want to see them AGAIN!!! BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE APOCALYPTICA FOREVER!!!

[corvotheband]

Best concert of my life too!! You must have been standing close to me, too! When you see a hand in the left corner of the video, it's usually mine [the one with all the bracelets]. Hehehe... I'm so happy you stopped by to see the video! -NiNi

[jesperanueva]

I was there at that concert! Long live heavy metal cello! Hey did you see that fight that broke out during it?

[corvotheband]

I had heard about the fight, but I didn't see it, because I was too busy drooling over Eicc... er.. uh... hehehe... I believe it had happened several rows behind me, and more over to the left... in which song did it happen? Security took care of it pretty fast, though, right? -NiNi

[ap0calypt1ca]

The fight took place on the front row. Left of me and it did end pretty quick. I think the only one in the band that noticed was Perttu. I saw him giving a funny look to someone and I looked over there and sure enought there was a fight.

[celloxlove]

Best thing ever. The video of Paavo breaking his string makes me smile like crazy. I always say, "RUN PAAVO, RUN!" Haha, I love the guys so much. Awesome video.

[corvotheband]

Hahahaha "Run Paavo, Run!" That is HILARIOUS. :D I was so happy we got to capture that on the video... I'm sure it's pretty rare to see any one of them break a string...[it's not easy to break cello strings]. It was SO perfect that it happened during Hall of the Mountain King, too! It was as if his own "soundtrack" was playing while he was rushing to get it re-strung! :D -NiNi

[celloxlove]

He changed that string SO fast. o.o

The Apocalyptica concert in Minneapolis was the best night of my life. By far.

[corvotheband]

And you play cello, so you know: those things aren't easy to re-string, are they? :o) Minneapolis, eh? How funny, I actually want to move to the Twin Cities area! -N.
