I first heard this song when I was 14 and it was the first power metal song I ever heard. 7 years later I have the most expansive music collection out of anyone I know and this is still my favourite power metal song. Always will be.
this is the sonata arctica I fell in love with(musically speaking). Miss that power metal. today they're more hard rock mainly. Such wasted talent on hard rock is a big no no for me.
Clone badly done of Stratovarius.. that vocalist is bearable live... the music is good but that vocalist is a garbage and lack the band to seek own style and not to copy the other ones...
Clone mal feito do Stratovarius .. esse vocalista é sofrível ao vivo ... a música é boa mas esse vocalista é um lixo e falta a banda procurar estilo próprio e não copiar os outros ...
Oye , a ti tambien te gustan ellos dos de cain's offering, me refiero a mikko harkin y jani(liimantein, por que el baterista del cain's tambien se llama jani)
You must have a hell of a breath to sing this song, but he delivers it well imo. I bet nowadays he would do it even better, it's such a pity they won't play this anymore, it's one of my favorite songs...
@alexmatrix1995 Now looking back on it, Mikko and Henrik are pretty much the same. Both are great players. Mikko is a more "Power Metal", but Henrik is more of a "Progressive" player. But really good.
I've grown a love for Mikko, but I still miss Jani so much. Jani is just soooo much more fun. He was so alive on stage.
en un futuro muy proximo podremos ver juntos nuevamente a jani con mikko, con el nuevo grupo llamado cain's offering ;D y q el vocalista es el legendario vocalista de strato :O.
I'd love to find a recording of this whole concert. This is my favorite era of Sonata Arctica. If Tony's singing is a bit off I believe it is because he was a little sick from the flu on this tour. It doesn't matter to me, I still think they sound fantastic.
what an awsome power metal band im sonata arctica till i die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this would go well with many computer games exp rpg , rts n stratagy games :)
Jani's a good guitarist, but there's no denying that Elias is at the same level as him. It's just everyone loves Jani because he's been there from the beginning and now he's not there antmore. And that pisses fangirls/boys off.
because singers have to do alot of songs in a row, they dont want to take it out of themselves by doing every high and long note to perfection of the original version.
Otherwise by the time they get to the last song he'd be whispering it lol
Great live version - Tony's having a little trouble hitting those higher registers though, you can hear him struggling - he totally skips over the last one... but still a kickass song, nevertheless... love this band!!!
I consider this Japan show from 2001 to be the greatest era of this band. I wish they would release this show on dvd, it's a magical moment in time that will never happen again.
the crowd looks really good to me. nearly every single hand in the air... everyone jumping like all the way through. melodic powermetal bands usually have trouble getting audiences to move like that coz its not brutal enough to pit to but its too quick to keep in time to while jumping
