  • 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.

  • @JairoUbatuba

    Po cara, é questão de gosto, eu não tenho saco pra ouvir aquela voz escrota do vocal do Stratovarius a bateria do Sonata é mto mais criativa.

    Imo Sonata >>>>>>>> Strato

  • @JairoUbatuba ... FUCK YOU MAN!

  • 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 ...

  • @JairoUbatuba nope

  • @JairoUbatuba Ti si que eres um lixo, non tes nin idea.

  • JAAAAAANIIIIIIIIIIIII for ever !!!!!!

  • jani is one of the worst guitarists of the world....9000 notes lost in the air

  • :O!!

  • Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaniiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiii! :'(

  • wow: O mikko is simply one of the best keyboard player in the world:)

  • Lo mejor de Sonata Arctica, ojalá se ubiesen quedado asi... Lastima que Cain's Offering no se parezca a esto.

    Miikko & Jani rulzz!!

  • 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)

  • 3:08 rofl :-D <3 sonata !! \,,/

  • perfect;) one of the best songs and great quality..but the drummer looks funny with short hair^^

  • @BodomBlastBeats looks like Marko with short hair hahahah :D

  • what a song! *___* especially intro :O

  • anyone knows which picups Jani had in this guitar?

  • wow...the keyboarder is...a god.......reminds me of dream theater :D

  • One of my very loved songs. And I love whole Silence album.

  • solo was just great!!!!

    mikko made no misakes, i always do:(

    and jani's just awesome.

    to bad he left.

    i can only play one song of jani, his young guitar demo. check it if u lwan't;)

  • What a song! :D

  • Oshit, I don't think I've ever seen a concert where they had Mikko instead of Henrik. Cool beans.

  • Favorite part of this song is the drumming, its so damn intense.

  • beautiful after more beautiful! *__*

  • dang i can never play wiht guitar as low as jani

    even if that doesnt look low, how the hell does he manage to play the solos, i tried playing with that height, can do shit

  • 18-09-2009 next album *_*

  • i miss yanni :(

  • This band made me love POWER METAL

    YEAH!

    thai fan ^^

  • one of early SA's better songs. Realy like this one.

  • what song is this?

  • Weballergy

  • best sonata arctica period....:(

  • This is my favorite SA song

  • 3:09

    Tony...you backstabber :O

  • vakan

  • 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...

  • The chorus is INCREDIBLY difficult to sing so i can understand Tony for not doing it that good ^^

  • i wish i could back at this times.. 2001..

    best time of sonata :(

  • I think this was the best formation of Sonata Arctica, with Jani at the guitar and Mikko at the keyboards

  • me 2

  • Yeahhh Mikko is a great keyboard player!!

  • God bless it... They all should play like there again :'(

  • @vengeancymine87 I do like Hendrig but I totally agree, Jani>all other guitar players

  • @vengeancymine87 Totally agree.

  • @vengeancymine87 Henrik > Mikko

    Jani > Elias

    Henrik was just a better player, and he honestly felt Sonata-ish.

    Elias, on the other hand, isn't as good as Jani. Elias is all aorund a terrible sub. I really hope Jani comes back.

  • @YoshiFan100 Not terrible sub nub.

  • @YoshiFan100 actually Mikko is a better player than Henrik , but Henrik is just so fucking awesome with his keytar :D

  • @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.

  • @vengeancymine87 Totally agree with you, man.

  • 21 year old Jani =D

  • I wish I had that Streetwise RG u.u

  • True. I love this song, but honestly, perhaps playing it live was more than the singer more than he could deliver here.

  • is the man on the Keyboards Jens Johanson(or anything like this) from Stratovarius, or Janne Kivilahti?

  • its mikko

  • he didn't come from Stratovarius, but he have ever joined into many bands then he leaves

  • is Mikko Harkin

  • Tommy Portimo Is the Best!!!!!!

  • He can hold notes longer and better now

  • furbyparade226

    your right he can, hes improved,

  • 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.

    ojalas vayan a chile xDDDDDD

  • hay algun demo?

  • i was i was there <3 this video gave me chills

    btw , what does the song talk about?

  • 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.

  • The Album is called 'Songs of Silence- Live in Tokyo', it has this whole concert on it as far as I know.

  • This isn't songs of silence, everyone seems to think it is for some reason

  • 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 :)

  • I just have three words to say , This is Awesome

  • Thankgod tony's singing is better now :)

  • When was it bad dude?

  • I just wish if it was the real Live record with this Live : (

  • I wish I was there.

  • This video made me to know and to love Sonata Arctica five years ago

  • THIS IS SO FUCKING EPIC

  • sonata arctica pls come to the philippines

  • Anyway, forgot how much this song rules.

  • Mikko Harkin is on another level, he's a very underrated keyboard player, he's amazing!

  • This is the perfect song to start a Sonata concert with!

  • Great song, too bad the'll never play it again. Unless they play it like octave lower.

  • 2:30 is by far the best part!

  • 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.

  • buenisssssssiiiiiimooooo el video

    lastima q tonny no iegara a los agudos

  • happy sounding song, sad message.

  • Awesome :D! Although it troubles me the drums come too much of a noise in this live version... probably done on the computer from someone :'(...

  • Internetallergy

  • I think I've got that nowadays.

  • 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!!!

  • keep it real to find HER!!!!!!!

  • God damn I love these guys, still proving the spirit of Power Metal is alive and fucking kicking! WHOOT!

  • jani!!

  • Mikko! :D

  • :D why did mikko quit the band?

  • miko was too metal! lol

  • Comment removed

  • my greatest wish to shake hands with Tony Kakko!

  • Jani and Mikko rule!!!!! they are so much better than Elias and Henrik.

  • jani it is better than elias, but henkka is god ;)

  • Wrong dude

  • no dude :p

    Henrik is god!!

  • jani jani jani 4 ever

    ojala q tu nueva banda sea mejor

  • The best metal band i know! ROCK ON Sonata Arctica forever!

  • 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.

  • i feel you!! thats was the best time Sonata Artica!

  • I couldn't be more agree with you mate, I really hope to see this full concert someday.

    This was the best moment the band had, they created a magical atmosphere on them. This was a mystical era.

  • jani y toni the beast of power metal

  • jani the best

  • Jani 4 ever!

  • It's great but I freakin hate it when they don't give bass players close ups

  • the amazing invisible Marko!

  • Bassists are supposed to be seen and not heard. Although if they're not seen either, there's no problem.

    :P jk

  • great live performance of a great song!!

    Sonata Rulez!!!

  • I FUKIN LOVE JANIIII!

  • tony voice has improved loads over the years me thinks! :)

  • love this song!!

  • wonderful solo....

  • Mikko Harkin es el mejor Tecladista de Europa!!

  • did you just take a shit on your keyboard?

  • i think he was just radomly slamming his keybord

  • i dont get it, what does weballergy have anything to do with this lyric? XD great song tho

    ^^

  • If you live you will die you wont live forever stuck in time. Beautiful.

  • Kakko has done a great avance in his show o_o

    There's a big difference in how he sings today and how he done in this video

    Sonata rules!

  • one of the best metal bands of these days..

    from Power Metal to Ballad (Tallulah).. they nail it every time

  • jani owns

  • I love it!!!!!!!

  • 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

  • Where do you see a japanese guy??? This band is from Finland

  • titevanes was talking about the audience I assume.

  • I don't know if you have noticed but the whole audience is full of them.

  • they r there to enjoy the show, u expected a moshpit? rofl

  • kickass! as always!

  • Awesome

  • buen tecladista

  • El mejor tiempo de Sonata Arctica.

  • vero

  • hey lazynutsucker... ill kill you

  • fucking awesome!

  • Sonata arctica really know how to get the crowd going.

    Powermetal forever!!

  • mannn Sonata are just beautiful :-P hehe. frickin love their songs i really wanna see em play live :-O :D

  • Right so it's just a bit slower, but this song is really hard to sing live, so it seems to me anyways.

  • It is damn difficult...

    I've tried...

  • JANI! <3
