Epica - Tides Of Time (live at MFVF 2009)

[veramiguelsantiago]

Increíble totalmente!!! La hermosura de Simone, su potente voz y esta gran canción! Moriría por estar tan cerca como la persona que subió el video!

[handofxsorrow]

Why does everyone have to bring up Tarja in every video of a female fronted metal band? Tarja is overrated.

[philemall]

really really hard, but incredibly beautiful song...always get gossebumps

[Xodthepuger]

such a beatiful voice

[MySweetCherryBlossom]

She is so beautiful in real life too<3 agreed: "just stop beeing perfect!!" ^ ^

[Mad9977]

yes Cindytie88, its very hard, specially with such moving music ;-) you did a really great job :-)

[nunavutkid13]

Hands down for Simone live!! :D

[Xodthepuger]

i just randomly herd of this band and clicked on it here and just instantly fell in love with them. they have such a beautiful sound and relax melody

[HarrowingWinter]

Why are there so many great songs that are so underrated :( This song deserves a lot of fans xD

[IluvisAndTheMaidens]

1:40 I bow to Simone best voice I 've ever heard

[Gague666]

tttttttttttttthisssssssssss song is fucking great!!!!!!!!!!!

[agominator]

if she sings like normally, i wanna hear the great Simone singing an aria!!!! this is perfect, but where´s the DVD?????????? september is almost gone and still we dont have the DVD

[blackhoumor]

@agominator she couldn't sing an aria^^

shes not a real classical soprano. she sings "operatic" and she sings really great, but she could not sing an aria properly.

do you know floor jansen from after forever? she can sing even higher and stronger than simone and even she can't sing an aria.

but simone is great and perfect in what she is singing here!!

[agominator]

@blackhoumor i guess you´re right. anyway that kind of voice is great. and of cours I know Floor Jansen and her new band ReVamp. she´s also great, one of the bests in this type of music. by the way look at her in her most "classical" moments

[agominator]

@blackhoumor i guess you´re right. anyway that kind of voice is great. and of cours I know Floor Jansen and her new band ReVamp. she´s also great, one of the bests in this type of music. by the way look at her in her most "classical" moments is called "Floor Janesn o mio babbino caro". she´s actually the most versatile singer i know in metal

[jooleah74]

i'm just wondering...how the hell does this video have 3 dislikes?!

[blusnack99]

simone, just stop being perfect!!

[agominator]

@blusnack99 noo, better to stay perfect forever

[PrincessOfSecret]

This song is amazing, one of my favorites on the new album. I can't wait to hear it and, of course, to see the band on 2nd October in Budapest! Their concert was great last year so I'm really excited this time! :D I love all their albums and as you all said before me: they're getting better and better through the years! Maybe the sky is the only border for them or even it isn't! ;)

[agominator]

wow, this concert was amazing and hearing Simone more operatic than ever singing this is unique. 8 years and now Epica will change a lot. theur style has changed, mr Jansen´s grunts are getting better and better, Simone is getting more and more proffessional in opera, they´re making heavier music. this is one of their best performances and it will be awesome when we will see this whole concert (as well as the sao pablo and the pinkpop one) in the DVD which will come out in september. Epica rocks

[Limetka]

Love this song. I saw them performing this live and had almost tears in my eyes. Great performance. Simone´s voice is getting better and better.

Looking forward to see them again in july:-)

[MadSnake123]

When they came to Mexico i went to one of their concerts, they played this song, i didn't know it, i hadn't heard Desing your Universe at that time, so this came out of nowhere, she sang it so beautiful and so powerful that for a moment the entire place was like paralized before everybody explode in a huge ovation, great band, awesome song, beautiful singer, i love them.

[fnglert]

It's very hard to keep your camera still for 5 min. ;)

Then don't. Film the other bandmembers a bit more, as well.

[agominator]

@fnglert when they play tides of time there are not other mebers of the band but simone and coen until the guitars and drums appear. it´s always like that.

[augismu]

should be fantastic festival

[vinhizio]

Your video is one of my favorites, and yes i agree with you with keep your camera still for 5 min. Imagine Kingdom of heaven has 13 mins :) Great video.

[lorelei321]

something reminds me of you..... i love you...forever...

[RonnieAGonzalez]

just jizzed my pants to her high notes prior to the guitar solo

[TheRandomChap]

not many singers could have pulled that off,, its a metal gig, she's probably atleast a little worked out from all the previous songs, the energetic stage act everything, and she pulls this off, amazing

[Evnightlerd]

Everyone says that Floor is better singer than simone, and I can't compare, Simone simons hath such a magical voice she is mezzo, but she overgets floor jansen's voice, I know. In Love with simone simons' voice.

[msantaka]

Aaaw she didn't go high. Well she is singing in a concert.

Thank you for sharing, this is awesome.

[HorrorNights1]

this song is so beautiful, I saw Epica live 5 days ago and I will never forget this song, simone's voice really touched me deep inside with this one, beautiful song

[HorrorNights1]

this song is so beautiful, I saw Epica live 5 days ago and I will never this song, simone's voice really touched me deep insidem with this one, beautiful song

[SimoPepi11]

oh,yes...every one can sings slowly songs. :)

[evanescencelady01]

So fucking beautiful, really <33 woa Simone is such an amazing singer! And Epica is such an amazing band ;) I wish I could see them live sometime soon, too :)

[xsanah]

Really awesome clip. Thank you! :D

[NightwishaL]

She has an amazing voice, but she looks very nervous here. Of course, this is a very difficult song ... But amazing *__*

[starlightmistiq]

Her voice gets better and better on each album, when I thought it is perfect, she proved that she can be even better....all these without the smallest sign of strain on her face, makes you think it is easy :)

[1312BRIAN]

SIMPLY WONDERFUL.

[HigherHigh90]

Cara , ainda tem gente que tem a coragem de falar que o Epica é um lixo e a Simone num canta nada ! Aff

Eu amo essa música , ela me emociona , dá até arrepio .

Long live Epica !

[AnycLove]

OMG.... Not an easy song with all that high notes, but there is no one other like Simone... She's amazing. I really hope that I will get the chance to see them live...

[TheMyfirstteam]

@AnycLove No offense but i throw One name: Tarja Turunen... I think Tarja is better in live performances than Simone is

[theoneandonlymagnum]

@TheMyfirstteam she might be, but the songs Simone sings are much harder... I would like to hear Tarja sing something like this one.. Don't get me wrong, I love Tarja, but this is very hard to sing and I think Simone did a really good job.

[EstoyDODO95]

this songie is pretty (:

[EstoyDODO95]

and it's hard to keep those high notes.. she's amazing (:

[paradoxx64]

Omgosh..I saw them live for the second time..Man what a show, she was a true angel and Yves was badass haha. I'll never forget when she came over and held my hand and sang to me..and Mark called me his Princess! \m/..She sang Tides of Time absolutely perfect..no flaws what so ever!! I wish I could hangout with these guys on a regular basis..They are my kind of people :P

[AaronHolopainen]

i hate you xDDddd

lucky you :)

[khulsbos]

Flew from New Mexico to Minnesota to see them this weekend!!! They are amazing! Simone is pure beauty and talent :)

@Cindytje88

What are some female fronted power/symphonic/progressive metal/rock bands?

I know Nightwish, Epica, After Forever, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil and UnSun.

Do you know any other bands like these I should check out?

Also, thanks. :3

[Cindytje88]

Uhm, well first of all After Forever doesn't exist anymore, the singer (Floor Jansen) now has a new project called ReVamp! ;) Here are some other bands you may like: *Apocalpyptica *Autumn *Delain (my personal fav.) *Kamelot *Leaves' Eyes *Liv Kristine *Sonata Arctica *Tarja Turunen There are many more, but this was all I could find right now! ;)

[DobbyFan]

@Cindytje88

Since when is Sonata Arctica Female Fronted? XD

But Dawn of Destiny is another nice one,

Amberian Dawn

Xandria

Gwyllion

Krypteria (partially :P)

[Cindytje88]

Yeah, they're not all female fronted, but they're kinda the same gerne! ;)

[DobbyFan]

@Cindytje88

That's true, and they're absolutely amazing :D And on the Days of Grays a female does sing in two songs :D

[Cindytje88]

Hehe, ok then! :)

[RestillHabb]

Theater of Tragedy, The Crest (with Nell Sigland), The Gathering, Edenbridge, Sirenia, Therion, Angtoria, Tristania, Krypteria, and Xandria are some of my favorites that were not listed by others. :)

[adr14ntr]

@Smc316

Xandria

Elis

Stream Of Passion...

But if you like female gothic metal too you can hear Tristania, Sirenia, The Sins Of Thy Beloved, Theatre Of Tragedy

[Smc316]
