  • amo esta banda pero me quedo con la de helloween jejej la original

  • Sonata Arctica is one of my favourite bands but I don't like this cover at all. I think Hammerfall's take on this song is the best, followed by the Halloween original.

  • i dont want out :(

    i like to sit infront of my pc and listen SA

  • dudo en ser el unico guitarrista que le cuesta tocar este tema

  • più bella dell'originale... e gli Helloween mi piacciono da morire!

  • Nor parlo molto italiano ma penso come te...piú bella dell´originale...Sono un fan di banda italiana chiamata LABYRINTH ... molto buono power metal in Italia ... Vorrei sentire la mia banda, basta digitare nella barra di ricerca di youtube NÁYADES FOREVER. Saluti dalla Spagna

  • even though a cover, one of my fav. songs done by Sonata. Simply love it.

  • @Ljubisa87 i totally agree man. Its one of my favorite songs ever.

  • Good cover

  • diese band is scheiße und haben dieses geile lied kaputt gemacht F!!!t euch

  • @ToastGiant wieso scheiße ??? du hast keine ahnung -.- aber naja jedem das seine

  • @wixxer66

    Die Band ist natürlich nicht Scheiße, aber diesen Song haben sie schon irgendwie verhunzt. Diesen Song sollte man nicht covern, sondern positiv von Helloween in Erinnerung halten.

  • my heart is pumping from this song... omg i could run a marathon right now, anyone wanna race?

  • @Bipolarfarley Try the original then, it's even better. Although I do really love this too!!!

  • GANDALF!

  • Helloween did the best version which is obvious..... SA did the second best and HF did the third. But they all are amazing.

  • I think HammerFall did a better job covering this song, and I don't even like HF

  • pretty good, but the original is 10x better

  • @milllionaiire i respect your opinion. however i strongly dissagree.

  • i took an arrow in my knee!

  • i like the orginal by hansen more ^^

  • @Umberkuk yes bud this cover is still fucking awsome ;)

  • This just overruns the original version :/ even the toughest helloween boys have to admit that.

  • Comment removed

  • 3:31 blows my face off everytime. Seems power metal is the only genre that can make key changes really work

  • THIS SONG IS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

  • Way better than Helloween ..

  • @Adkovable helloween did it in late 80's...they invented power metal...sonata arctica are one of many helloween's sons...

  • @dades92 Well, Helloween were like, one of three people doing Power Metal at that time. I believe there was Manowar, which had some Power Metal influence, and I believe there was another. Although alot of Power Metal originated from Helloween and a bit of Manowar, it is safe to say Sonata Arctica re-invented Power Metal in their style.

  • @Ninjastyle124 who are the other ones? I think maybe Fate Warning had some proto-power tendence...and well iron maiden's somewhere in time has a lot of power elements...

  • @Ninjastyle124 yes you right, i know exatly why you love trains.....

  • Helloweenin on parempi

  • schön nachgepielt...

  • *^*

    

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • I love it how Sonata Artica covers sound so different to the originals, only thing is they all sound a bit too fast, but still great

  • @legionaire81

    Troll.

  • this one sound like black sheep XD

  • @XAD222 That's where sonata got the song base idea from :P

  • Everyone speaks of helloween and Sonata Artica and which is better. Until now i heard Helloween's Sonata Artica's and Hammerfall's And i just CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF EITHER. EACH ONE IS MORE SPLENDID THAN THE OTHER when you replay it.

  • look this list

  • helloweens original is crap. SA gave this song life

  • @JVilleTVille Totally agree :)

  • @JVilleTVille come on man.. without Helloween there won't be Power Metal...

  • @JVilleTVille ahahah original song is the origin of power metal..this is just a cover...faster and with more modern effects and backing vocals...nothing more...the original is better by far...

  • yeye ofc fucking hip-hop and t-pyne only soad-linkin-metallica-limpbizk­it and all

  • Original is original, but this is great version too.

  • sooo good !!!

  • EXCELENTE!

  • ahh metal fans..."You dont like metal, therefore you're a loser! What you listen to is below me!" Seriously, stop...just listen to whatever you like and piss off with the whole "holier than thou" attitude.

  • I am really a great Sonata Arctica fan,but I don't like this cover,because the only thing that they did is to make the song x2 times faster ,nothing original,nothing new...

  • @ggggggggg123joanna its a cover how is it supposed have original or new it can't

  • @petplatypus Making covers means that you add something new to a song... Something original ,something yours,this is what covers are all about...

  • great cover almost as good as original

  • Way too fast

  • EPIC COVER!!!! Hammerfall is against this nothing!

  • all cover from this albums are great

  • Amazing cover.

  • that is just nothing more but masterpiece

  • i love sonata arctica especially all their covers..................

  • @METALinYOURface1 i agree especially die with your boots on

  • gamma ray and lord version are the best

  • Gamma Ray's versions are the best!

  • I account for over 100 views on this song

  • Hammerfall version is much better!

  • Hmmm, perhaps a bit too fast but those harmonies are sublime.... 

  • if anyone says the original's better than this version, theyre smoking crack with their neighbours gerbal, nah serious.

  • I like Sonata Arctica, but they spoiled this song... Too damn fast and lacking adrenaline.

  • lol! helloween with helloween sound... sonata with sonata sound and style, hammerfall with hammerfall sounds and his style, but they're all just amazing

  • One word describes this: epic.

  • /watch?v=lebd5dfp17I&NR=1

  • i dont like helloween much but this song is cool i have no interest in Fantasy, Humor, Religion and Politics thats the lyrics of helloween against Fantasy Metaphors, Relationships and Life the lyrics from Sonata Arctica way better oh i forgot keyboards more guitar styles more solos deeper singing prog elements symphonic elements acoustic elements you wanna tell me helloween have that too?

  • I love how they made it faster than the original.

  • #1 - Helloween's original version

    #2 - Sonata's version

    #3 - Hammerfall's version

    ...

    #99 - Helloween's Unarmed version

  • WHAT WHAT WHAT OK SOMEONE HELP ME HERE HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THIS BAND TO BE THIS GOOD?!?! NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE IVE HEARD HAS EVEN DONE A DECENT COVER BUT THIS MAKES ME HEAD BANG TILL MY HEAD WENT THROUGH MY COMPUTER DESK

  • @ForeverWarBound Its Sonata freakin Arctica. Thats how. =)

  • I still prefer the original,but I must say this is much better than the Helloween's "2010 version".....

  • Great + Excellent + Wonderful + Amazing = Sonata Arctica

  • Also, if you put the vocals and tempo from this version and replaced it with the original, that would be close to perfect! :)

  • This is actually a pretty good remake, considering that most remakes are horrible. Although I prefer the original over this, I still think that this is awesome.

  • power metal rules

  • @sirromelosek is not true thanks to them today we can enjoy the power metal they helped a little bit. (:

  • @sirromelosek not the worst ever, just not so good

  • generic drone metal. no passion, no heart. they just play it through. :(

  • Tony Kakko sing really well ^^

  • This version is enjoyable, but the keyboard at the beginning makes it sound goofy and unMetal. The original is how the song should sound.

  • @skullvomit666 keyboard is unmetal interesting haha xd

  • whatever you say about bands this band is able to do wonders with songs they can take shitty songs turn the good and they can take good songs and make them better.

    rock on lml '_' lml good song good bang great match

  • best cover :D powerful and fast ;)

  • gratz sonata artica turning a shitty song into something listenable

  • It's sad to see that the Great Masterpiece of Kai Hansen has felt so raped cos of tis cover. The Riff sounds shitty and the singer just sucks compared to the Great Michael Kiske...

  • Lmao sorry but this compared to Helloween version SUCKS

    I'm not even a fanboy or a hater, but c'mon, that keyboard sounds fucking wrong, the dude's voice is alright, nothing compared to Kai's voice tho and the chorous is fucked up in my opinion. Also they tried too hard to make it faster.

  • @666MetaIHead Don't you mean Michael Kiske's voice?

  • @Nirklas Yeah

  • all three versions of this song kick ass. helloween, hammerfall and sonata arctica. love them all.

  • hey love the song

  • This is awesome

  • I love Helloween, pero es otra propuesta interesante

  • damn this just doesnt sound right wtb kai singing this

  • Am I thwee only one who likes both this and the original?

  • @suprsonickath You are not alone, my brother.

  • Wait, was that a keyboard in the beginning?

  • is better the hellowen version ((the original))

  • u say Justin Bieber-I say ACDC

    You say Miley Cyrus-I say sonata arctica

    You say T-Pain-I say Slipknot

    You say Flowers-I say Metallica

    You say Pink I say Iron Maiden

    You say HipHop-i say shut the fuck up

    You say Pop-I scream Heavy Metal

    You say hanah montana-i fucking punch you in the face

    92% of teenagers have turned to HipHop and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, lets fill all the videos to wake them up!

    DON'T LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE

  • @lakaicrewLL You, good sir, are an inspiration. The worlds needs more people like you. *high five*

  • @lakaicrewLL If someone says Justin Bieber I won't reply with AD/DC.

    I'll just punch the madafaker in teh face!

    Sonata Arctica FUCKING ROCKS! \m/

  • @lakaicrewLL

    You say hurr-I say durr

    You say herp-I say derp

    C'mon man post something you wrote yourself and you really feel. I'm pretty sure you didn't even read this thing!

  • @johnthegreek178

    I agree with you and i say:

    sorry for my english cuz I am Italian but now I think that in my country Rock and Metal is dying so I invite some groups like Metallica,Anthrax, Avenged Sevenfold, Dragonforce or Pantera to take a fuckin plane and come here to do a Really Metal Concert!! don't let Vasco Rossi or Ligabue destroy our country with theyr fucking horrible songs :( SUPPORT ME AND OTHER ROCKERS AND METALLER FROM ITALY!

  • @lakaicrewLL You just named all the bands that WISH they were metal...or at least talented...sorry dude... :(

    You want, Dream Theater, Maiden, Priest, Iced Earth, Nightwish, Stratovarius, Rhapsody, Sonata (obviously), Hammerfall, Pagan's Mind, Vai, Malmsteen, for crying out loud...

  • @SenseiSprinkles You can't say that, some of them may be rubbish in your opinion ( and mine) but you can't say they're not metal or not talented. DragonForce is Extreme Power Metal and require a lot of skill .. :)

    Plus you missed a lot of bands like ; Pathfinder, Turisas, Alestorm, Emerald Sun and so on.

  • @Davemackintoshforce Dragonforce has skill alright...playing the same song over and over and over...the argument is valid and has been made and proven time and again that they suck... as for your other options i say this...

    Turisas=Win

    Alestrom= Sorta Win (hard to take "Pirate Metal" seriously)

    Pathfinder=Gotta listen to that one, thank you for the recommendation

    Emerald Sun=Win

    I was simply listing an off the top of my head list.

  • @lakaicrewLL you say all time clasic metal-head-shits i say you are a 13 year old...

  • @9Morgoth6

    I am 17...sorry if you are the BOSS here and I have the permission to comment this video

  • @lakaicrewLL it's alright man...now that you know i am the boss, just don't ever make silly all time classic high rated comments that make us, people that listening to metal look stupid and retarded :)

  • @lakaicrewLL Why do you mention the words "Heavy Metal" and "Rock" when this is clearly Power Metal?

    By the way you said "Slipknot", your comment is invalid.

  • @ComrnanderShepard dude that was a Copy&Paste comment

    I don't like slipknot and I hate AC/DC

    so man, I didn't read that comment

  • @lakaicrewLL

    That explains a lot LOL. AC/DC and Slipknot are crap anyway...

  • @Idilyon AC/DC kicks ass there an amazing band and are very popular Slipknot isn't half bad either

  • @petplatypus

    Ok it's your opinion :) I respect it if you respect mine :)

  • @lakaicrewLL omg stop coping and pasting stupid comments, you are wasting useful server storage

  • @mitsig4n ok

    

  • @lakaicrewLL well put :)

  • @HGM1122

    what does it means well put?

    puttanaccia? gesù di merda?

  • @lakaicrewLL in simple ways,well said on the band/artist thing. what the hell was the last thing said? O.o

  • @lakaicrewLL dude....rock will never die -, -

  • @lakaicrewLL You people are the spastics who give metal heads a bad name via alienating us. Music is a 100% opinionated subject, people should not be revered nor hated for their personal tastes and calling one genre 'real' and others 'fake' only seeks to divide the community over petty things such as personal taste. Grow the fuck up

  • @XxNiNjAsHaDoWxX

    I couldn't agree more with your statement. In this day and age there is really no such thing as "real" metal. There is old metal and new metal and both have valuable contributions to the listener. As you said, it is all a matter of personal taste as it IS solely based on personal opinion. I can name a dozen metal bands that don't appeal to me for various reasons, but that does not make them any less metal or adored by their fans. .

  • @XxNiNjAsHaDoWxX Couldn't agree more. Music is music, what's the point of even slapping a label on it for one's own benefit?

  • @XxNiNjAsHaDoWxX True story, bro! As a classical musician, I don't necessarily think that the music I listen to most (classical music) is superior, it's just what I would prefer to listen to most of the time. But I still enjoy music like this, it's a way to unwind and hear something different. I echo your statement... To all the "spastics", grow the fuck up, get over your rebellious angst, and just enjoy music.

  • @guitarman7111 dido

  • @GreaterOblivion Thanks dood. We've turned everything else into a war... once we turn music into a war about who's music is superior, we will have lost sight of the purpose of music.

  • @XxNiNjAsHaDoWxX You're clearly leaving reggaeton out of the ecuation. But despite that your point is good :)

  • @XxNiNjAsHaDoWxX People want change, yet are afraid of music that is different then their personal prefrence. the same goes goes for Gay marrige

  • @XxNiNjAsHaDoWxX except rap:)

  • @XxNiNjAsHaDoWxX does this mean you have never made a joke or comment about another genre of music, your either a liar or no fun.

  • @lakaicrewLL

    this is totally wrong...a lot of people listen to pop and stuff because they're weak...but the peole who listen to true metal are elite people....if too many eople listen to something it gets weak

  • @stingrapavadone

    DUDES STOP MESSAGE ME I UNDERStooD IT

  • @stingrapavadone "elite people" are shit argument... They just doesn't hear that wildness and beauty side of metal like SA [ if Im not wrong they're METAL band correct?] and they made opinion about metal because they saw few random pictures etc. I'm still not really fan of metal music, but SA make me orgasm so I think that is something as a kind of music I'm not fan lol

  • @lakaicrewLL Amen

  • @lakaicrewLL lame... just enjoy the music for yourself if thats not enough then thats your problem

  • @lakaicrewLL Truer words have never been spoken before

  • @lakaicrewLL You should've punched them in the bollocks when he even had the guts to mention Justin beiber.

  • Sonata is a good band but this cover was horrible...

  • @gringojames well, this song fits Hammerfall a lot better, it's not really their style. Still, none can overcome the real thing, coz that was a masterpiece :)

  • @Geraloo

    Yeah... Sonata is better like this... tks.

  • long live sonata arctica

    PERKELE!

  • Sonata Arctica one of the best Finnish metal bands

  • Takatalvi it's an amazing album, pero hay que tener en cuenta que sin las originales nunca existirian estas, aunque quizas para algunos gustos sean ligeramente superiores.

  • this song is amazing no matter what. hammerfall, sonata arctica, helloween, there all awesome

  • @ModernRedneck13 dont forget Sabaton :D

  • craw craw xd

    :D

  • I like more Sonata than Helloween, but Kiske's voice is INSUPERABLE.

  • @nicocastle But you have to admit, Helloween is the gayest name ever.

  • sorry, but i like this version more that the helloween one. I think it's becouse i heard this before.

  • It's faster... vocals stronger... I like this version MORE than Helloween... ō_ô

  • vocals stronger than kiske

    i just lold gtfo pls

  • Well done! It´s good, but not as great as the original from the great German Band Helloween!

  • Amazing cover!

  • i dont think that this is better than the halloween his voice... the music... idont think i like it

  • Every Power Metal band covers this song, don't they? =]

    Great song, but I think SA's cover is just a little too fast.

    SA is one of my favorite bands though and I have more plays of their songs than most of you do, so don't flame me
