[imcominforyou]

I like how they showed Henkka for one second during his first solo.

[DarkTribals]

Worst show Elias did.. My God, He's scrapping every solos..

[TrapnestShinigami]

@DarkTribals

Lowlands 2009 was worse for the whole band. Never liked neither that show or this one really, and I'm quite the fangirl of this band an Elias as a guitar player.

[Taxidis]

1:41 just wtf?

[BlackDragon2712]

@Taxidis jajjaaaja i was thinking the same xD!!!

[Telladriel]

could it be? is it really possible? i guess it is... I CAN HEAR THE BASS!!!!

[TToudette]

too loud, too low

i read this conversation under every video...

what do you want now?

louder instruments or lower instruments??

[imcominforyou]

Terrible A/V.

You can't hear Tommy's ride.

You can't hear the guitar.

Bass is too loud.

[ItsRainingCyanide]

The yodeling ruined it, I'm sorry.

[Metalmack95]

@ItsRainingCyanide haha its awesome.

[OceansOfRegret]

Wow... Elias really sucks

[saedemoph]

[Francipunkmetal]

[JH6661]

is it just me or is at least one of the backing vocalists way off key?

[JH6661]

is it just me or is at leas tone fo the backing vocalists horribly off-key?

[I3lindGuardian]

Can anyone explain to me the technique behind the scream/yell thing he's doing at 3 minutes? I know classical voice, but I dont have a clue how people do this without blowing their voices?

[Dnine1]

gotta learn how to play this on keys :D

[whyallaguru]

Haha! Tony is such a clown! But that's why we all love him.

[FurbyParade226]

Legolas needed a break from the legs.

[ParaFrost]

It's my minions versus thee.

[jarrettk99]

Talk about audio lag...

[SuperPhycoMan1]

Extremely epic audio lag, other than that it's a great song.

[whyallaguru]

@SuperPhycoMan1 Only some of it is out of sync, makes you wonder what was up with the cameras, considering it's pretty official looking and has great angles.

[IbanezEqualsWin]

Watching this video is just weird with how badly its synced xD

Unrelated... 1:51 I have that wristband Elias wears =P

[Entrayalicious]

A sea of syncronized arms.. Looks awesome xD

[Machseh]

YODLIN' TONY! 

[mmarocker]

1:32 "I can't see shit"

[Requiemity]

the bass' tone sounds like ass

[kaplanamer]

hes singing off key, and the audio is badly edited.

[Jirkalojzik]

i love elias...

[ChriKy99]

[jlspma]

[JugglEntire]

Häkki, perkele! 0:06

[g2gJuggling]

@JugglEntire vittu et kuuntelet paskaa musaa :D

[ASTIGINGTUBE]

The video is funny.



[relicanth101]

Ugh, Henrik is just... well he makes me think this band is bad live. It is hard to come across a really good keyboardist. But Henrik cannot play live, he makes it sound sloppy and can never get his volume right... And I think the guitar is way to quite, they do this every time :/. And the change over of solos for Henrik sounded amateur. Still a great band though ^_^.

[Keyguya]

@relicanth101

You make no sense... Henrik doesn't control his volume on the MIXING TABLE where the audio for this have been taken from. "They do it" You mean the mixers do it right? We don't even know if this take was taken from band monitor mixing or from the audience perspective.

If you want to hear a good gig where henrik and sound balance is right listen to metalhultsfred or for the sake of revenge dvd. This whole thing has been horribly EQed too.

[malightcommander]

@Keyguya For television or just broadcast in general, it's normal to make a third, completely independent, mix. Probably they had a new guy making the broadcast mix for this gig. ;-)

[Kojitsu]

@relicanth101

Well the keyboardist who filled in temporarily for that album was Jens Johansson (before Henrik joined), anyone who knows of him or has tried to play his stuff can tell you its very difficult. So one may choose to improvise a bit, especially live, which I agree Henrik doesn't seem to be all that great at doing, lol.

[relicanth101]

@Kojitsu Indeed. And I am a keyboardist myself that takes alot of influence from Jens and stratovarius so ye it can be challenging. But in this song you get a bad impression when theres a keys intro performed badly.... improv or just sloppy. Jordan Rudess in DT has far more complex stuff then both henrik and jens put together and doesnt need to improv.... And when Jens improvs its epic.... Henriks is just....... ugh :(

[Kojitsu]

@relicanth101

I guess Henrik just doesn't practice enough, or maybe since he didn't write it he just doesn't bother with this solo all that much, which sucks because its my favorite keyboard intro/solo. As for Jordan, he was like a piano prodigy when he was like 9, I wouldn't be surprised if he practices in his sleep, lol.

[XXXWiziManXXX]

I like the bass sound in this concert someone knows what is effect is he using??

[TeBe161994]

bass is little too loud

[plateroyextremo]

@TeBe161994 that what you hear is the drum, the bass is not that loud in this case

[WenchesandMead]

I was there!

[WolfyGuss]

Sorry, i not speak inglish very well. No es que el audio no suene cunado Tonny canta, si no que el audio del video esta desfasado, va un par de segundos atrasados a lo que sucede, posiblemente porque lo grabaron del tv cable. Por eso se esucha la voz de tonny cuando no canta y las gutarras cuando no tocan. Traslate me XDD

[FraBoes24]

why do i hear tony`s voice when he`s not songing??? 1:14

[deviouswaffle]

@FraBoes24 I think the audio and video were not synced correctly

[alZor]

@FraBoes24 The video isn't synced with the audio. That's why he's quite an ventriloquist throughout the song ^^

[drjmauros]

finally!!!!

[Sonatametalera]

4:9 awasome. 0.o
