Apocalyptica - Eurovision Song Contest 2007

[muesliman100]

the man in ball looked like an uruk- hai that has just been pulled out of the dirt

[audimas626]

@muesliman100 nothing else matters

[j2456h]

That the best piece of musical creativity that evening was just supposed to be background entertainment while the voting was held...

[ViolaDNashmivida]

The guys are just GORGEOUS!!!! So talented!!!!<3

The most original and the most beautiful Eurovision show ever for me!!!

That was unforgettable!!

[MrTwiddledee2008]

Just.........WOW

[asasello999]

Funniest thing was - best show was made by group, which didn't participated in contest..

[Ngorath]

@asasello999 yeah, i was watching Eurovision on TV that year and they made commercials while this song was being played... i was so pissed afterwards

[willemvandeursen1995]

where is the drummer?

[willemvandeursen1995]

@willemvandeursen1995 oh wait now i see him.

[BioCrushed]

@JunkieOneTM Finland and Sweden.

[NIEN1994]

Oooh, he's so damn hot at 1:22 - 1:26...

[hukai1994]

All the peoble who raise there flag in this moment wish that they have an finish flag so i thing^^

[MrTerraincognita]

i think this and riverdance in 1994 are the two most epic show acts in eurovision history

[thangel93]

Only Eurovision could let something brillian like this slip away, and let some crappy song win.

[socijalista]

GAYvision, yet i'm here because of Apocalyptica only.

[countpancake]

EPIC HEADBANG 2:50



[danmattcelloboy]

I want Eicca's coat!

[argy29]

Go Finland!!!!

[Geronty]

Eicca looks like Edward Elric from Full metal Alchemist >.<

[turvenuija1]

Call it what you want. But ESC has been a circus for years. Even before this interval show. The circus act is perfect for ESC. Or in this case was.

[BeeTop7]

Not the best song of Apocaliptica. Path is much better.

[blackhalo21]

They should have won...

[cyberfox277]

Thanks for posting this, never seen it the first time. I don't usually watch the Eurovision contest it's not exactly my type of music :D But I would if I knew they were on the show ;)

[ultraturkishdelight]

fantastic ...

[XMETALLICAXxxx]

I just watch the song contest in cause of finland..I mean: LORDI APOCALYPTICA..

[joulupukki3smurffi]

that has to be the most over the top cello performance of all time

[SweetNova1000]

3:10 OMFG!!!!

[tehoken]

this would actually have made me watch Eurovision....

and true story, even if they weren't actually entered, they still win, even if they didn't get the most votes, they still win.

hell they didn't even need to have PLAYED

the still win everything, every time.

[DeanRider94]

@tehoken They were special guest.... but they still win! :D

[Mrskitterz]

I'm in love! this video is...is...there isn't even a word in all of the languages that can explain how amazingly awesome this performance is.

[DemonoAngell]

Finland owns!

Greetings from Russia <3

[basty4eva]

no comment:|

gosh, all i can say is that i watched it without breathing^^

Finnish music is the best in the universe!!! <333

greetz from Turkey=)

[xraccoon]

eicca looks so sexy in that long coat

[Galadh01]

absolut beauty



[dgttm74]

birth of the geopolitical man 0:50 .......Salvador Dali :)

[nahuelcdt]

these guys should put music in the cirque du soleil

[LUXO2]

@nahuelcdt I'm completly agree!!

[Prizmafrog2002]

Life Burns is sooo much better here, w/out the singing

[kloiros]

is it playback??

[TheTieros]

This performance, they owned all participants!

[Sofia7192]

does anyone know the name of the first song?

[ElectronicaBabe20]

@Sofia7192 worlds collide

[Sofia7192]

@ElectronicaBabe20 thanks! :)

[ElectronicaBabe20]

@Sofia7192 not at all :)

[LUXO2]

@Sofia7192 worlds collide from their album with the same name

[Sofia7192]

@LUXO2 thanks!

[drummerponsi]

Best interval show ever. I still remember hoping they'd play, because Finland is just that cool a country, which they turned out to prove!

[Kyotakis94]

where is lauri to sing life burns???

[ci2172]

MARAVILHOSOSSSSSSS...



[XGrabbarGX]

woot i was 4000. who liked :D

[ayuliinivaan]

Such an amazing interval show. I don't even remember Germany's interval show this year.

[kotrynarj]

finns showed the best they have and that was amazing. Good luck in Ice Hockey tonight.

[UnicornScrotum]

And for a brief shining moment the Finnish people pulled off the impossible and made the Eurovision seem cool.

[turvenuija1]

I feel like spamming now...but I just wanted to add: how many ESC shows can you think of that have done out of the box? I know this is one of them.

[turvenuija1]

The best interval performance to date.

[Lugmillord]

That's some awesome entertainment.

Finland + Metal = perfect match.

Why didn't they do that again? The ESC had a horrible lack of metal since then :O

[turvenuija1]

@Lugmillord I guess if you do something too many times, it gets kind of boring. Maybe next year...I would love to see Apocalyptica with Tarja Turunen. I think that would be the perfect match.

[Lugmillord]

@turvenuija1 That would be kinda interesting.

But how about a Eurovision Metal Contest? I would so watch that :)

[lidijalovesmusic]

@Lugmillord Me too. I would looooove that. ^^

[turvenuija1]

@Lugmillord Absolutely. We need metal.

[FieseLiese14]

hey do sinn jo Letzebuerger ze gesinn :D

[Miskena]

THIS is the kind of show ESC host should put up! It's entertaining, artistic, beautiful... I'm so proud to be Finn!

[SteamFox]

Please add 'interval' as one of the tags! If you search for Eurovision intervals, this won't show up at all.

[forsakendragon91]

finland always used to send in the metal and heavy rock bands whats happened? don't they send in those type of bands anymore? :(

[dopewithabass]

@forsakendragon91 Because its not the kind of thing that will win anymore

[nImNiMnIm666]

How didn't they win?!

[patteri90]

@nImNiMnIm666

They didn't take a part in the competition. They we're "just" performing :P

[nImNiMnIm666]

@patteri90 gunna say. Itd be a treason against music if they hadnt won in taking part

[franklouuu]

@nImNiMnIm666 But this show has already make treason against music a trillion times.

[sourcekv]

@nImNiMnIm666 they were entertaining the crowd while countries voted... they didn't take part in competition...

[Derekmanster]

amazing production

[nachotacoable]

89 people's Lives burn.

[Patti2hk]

Ja pierdole...

Rozpierdalają system ...

Fucking Perfect... The best performance i've ever seen !

O my God...

[Prizmafrog2002]

This video is all kinds of awesome & tons of great talent! Love it! Gonna share it will all my friendsies on FB! haha

[61Sledgehammer]

I think Apocalyptica is the best band of Finland. And Lordi too. Greetings from Turkey guys...

[QuakeXiove]

88 Swedish suckas >:O

[medepona]

@QuakeXiove heyheyheeeey! Sweden SUX in this competition, but just because we are a bad country in that shit-music, it doesn't mean ALL swedish people have that freakin bad taste! This the fuckin best middle-act EVER in this shitty competition and I am Swedish! :p

APO RULES!!!! FINLAND RULES!!! Sweden suck in that sense... :p So.. in a way you are right!

[TheIndigoCharm]

faraway+life burns= COOL ROCKZ!!!!!

[Benfica19042011]

if they were competing they would have won for sure!!! these duds rock hard!!

[mariokartftw1]

Finland U rock greetings from holland!

[Benfica19042011]

@mariokartftw1 and portugal too

[ScribbleScrobble]

.... well that fucking sucked I search metal as in grunting and kickass not freaking symphonic shit

[xCraveARavex]

omg... i don't remember seeing them on eurovision! :O gutted.

[irgendsoeintyp94]

did they win?

[MultiMapleFan]

@irgendsoeintyp94 They weren't competing..... lol

[omglyany]

They are so goooood!! I wish I could have seen their concert in Budapest. :(:(

[behean2]

eurovision introduced me to apocalyptica <3

[ReUsedX7]

like always in the eurovision contest, music is playback :S

[starbaby53]

It doesn't get any better than this!!!

[heksmaajj]

is it me, or does the girl on the swing almost falls off at about 5:45?

[ArteyLover1]

@heksmaajj i know, looks like that to me to, she took it very well if she did almost fall off, barely missed a beat \

[FullMetalPanicNL]

One of the few times the Euro Vision Music Festival actually had real music.

[0898249006]

vut Paavo doesn't shake his head hahaha

[DaSassyDanca]

@0898249006 yeah! he's sooo stiff

[Nerzyster]

A true example of excellent music and performances!

[TheCrazyLutenist]

grrrr this isn't live!!! why must they mime?

[raoul4free]

@TheCrazyLutenist It's the Eurovision Song Contest, it happens there all the time. Sucks...

[0898249006]

how they shake their heads and play the cellos at the same time.. it's freaking amazing

[BuecherFuerAlle]

just a question, did they actually win this piece of shit contest? because if they didn't all of europe should be ashamed of itself.

[kml7321254]

@BuecherFuerAlle they didn't participate in the contest. they just made a show before the contest started.

[BuecherFuerAlle]

@kml7321254 thats too bad. i bet they would've won if they would have entered.

[pandzida98765]

88 Idiots think that Finland is thought in Africa.

[Raidetto]

@pandzida98765

this idiot probably doesn't know the meaning of thought

[HashashinOS]

this is simply EPIC

[RO83RTFERRARI]

3:10: noooo he is eating Jedi's sword!!!!

[lat00uk]

This would of been the only reason to watch the eurovision show in 2007, these guys are amazing, didnt even know this band existed until about 15 mins ago... lol

[sarahapach]

Just spectacular!!! =)

[anty2915]

perfect

[ViNs78540]

Could someone tell me what song is played at the beginning of the vidéo ? I want to play this live with a bassist friend, and i need some tabs. I already have Life Burns and Far Away !

Thanks :)

[ebzzu]

@ViNs78540 Apocalyptica - Worlds Collide

[SmithyNightmare]

Oh Perttu. I'm in love.

[yana195858]

love apo

[TheFaerielou]

2 the 88 dislikes ...um do u have ears or eyes ..wtf!!!!mega talent right there

[metalariff]

This is awesome! Eurovision is just political bullshit anyway! Yes, I'm British! What's that? No points for me then....ah well

[love5burgin]

@metalariff you have -12 points just from being british

[Reaper118]

It still baffles me how they didn't win :/

[TehCream]

@Reaper118 Dude that was the intermission show.

[TheLordOfCoal]

Fire, snow & Apocalyptica. Perfect.

[doarner]

Maybe the problem with eurovision itself is how influenced if became from the american music styles, most of the singers or groups use the typical pop teenagers or the princess of pop or the hip hop gang, things more knowed in North America but not in Europe, there's nothing so cultural or representative, just go play and hope to get a contract outta here.

By the way, anyone knows the names of the songs played before Life Burns?

[Helentje11]

@doarner

The first one is called Deathzone and the second (slow) one is Faraway and last one is called Life Burns

[doarner]

@Helentje11 Thanks

[mocevice]

3:06 nice deep throat

[Jop3lius]

@mocevice thanks!! ;:DDD i complitely cracked up for this comment (BUT I DONT WATCH PORN...yea right...) :DD

[BanditDragoon]

Epic moments include 4:40 5:37 5:53 and 7:47

[Dakota221090]

This is just wonderful. All of them are gorgeous!

[anushkajan]

I watch eurovision every year and would have loved to see this! I went to see Apocalyptica two months ago when they toured here it was unbelievable. There was no theatrics just four guys three cello's and one drummer :D

[lexie160]

@anushkajan

I have seen them 2 times... They are amazing and i just cant see them ever selling out or becoming more... i dont know how to put it... umm... ??

[Jari112]

@lexie160 I'll know Eurovision Song Contest is political voting crap most of the time, but in year 2007, when Apocalyptica was presenting their medley in phonevoting time, they should have won she hole shit after all! No one the european song contest competitors could have won them back then!

[XIRNOMAIDENX]

i remember when lordi won eurovision \oo/

[maijasii]

@XIRNOMAIDENX who wouldn't :)

[rasmerify]

the music, the show, the girl and the cello players.... everything is incredibly amazing. love it. but why i did'nt see it on tv? ;(

[karlssonjlam]

EUROVISION ISN´T A CRAP!! IT´S THE BIGGEST SHOW IN THE WORLD

[naxxari69]

this is amazing ..what a show :)  \m/

[keith3146]

two people in red dancing.... friggin' epic stuff!

[XTremeDiva1828]

Eicca looks fucking hot dressed like this....

[atladiundeste]

Y ellos de donde son?

[Wamiba]

@atladiundeste de Finlandia :)

[MrXerjyo]

1.- si borre un coment por que me pase de lanza pido una DISCULPA

2.- en los minutos 1:40, 2:26, 3:12 y 8:01 se ve el transmisor en el pantalon de Perttu

3.- tal vez no necesitaron un micro con tanta potencia y Battery Pack Attado al cello para tocar 9 minutos y no 2 o 2horas con 30 mins como los conciertos a los que he ido

4.- la voz de Laurie Ylone sale de algo llamado sampleo pues es solo el LIFE BURNS

5.- no recuerdo un disco de Apocalyptica que contenga un "remix" con tres canciones

[haxored85]

the only time i saw the european song contest on tv was in 2010 where our german lena has won the contest. BORING!

but this video here is epic!

[furtuna05]

please tell me that there is a hidden guitar on the stage because i literally can not understand how they can make this sort of music with those instruments..

[JJJunnu93]

GO APOCALYPTICA!

[Nizati]

now THIS is a show... XDDDDDD

[Wamiba]

playback -.-

[MrXerjyo]

@Wamiba looooooooser!!!!!! just wach them reall music from real musicians not crap as many others best group ever!!!!!! APOCALYPTICA FOR EVER

[Wamiba]

@MrXerjyo Mira chaval, como me insultas en español te voy a explicar unas cuantas cositas en español, para que las entiendas bien. Primero, me gusta Apocalyptica como a la que más, también los he visto tocar en directo y he visto muchas actuaciones suyas grabadas en otros países que están en directo. Es obvio que el sonido en directo suena distinto del del disco, y si tienes un poquito de oído te das cuenta de que estas canciones suenan clavadas a las versiones de disco.

[Wamiba]

@MrXerjyo Segundo, no llevan petacas de micro en el chelo (como suelen llevar y te habrás fijado si en tantas actuaciones has visto de ellos), con lo cual explícame de qué manera se oye en todo el local si no tienen micro. Tercero, la voz de Laurie Ylonen de donde sale? me lo explicas? porque yo no le veo por ningún lado.

[Wamiba]

@MrXerjyo Cuarto, que hagan playback alguna vez no quiere decir que sean malos artistas, puede ser que la organización les obligase, como les pasó por ejemplo a Muse en una actuación en la televisión italiana y en donde para protestar el Matt y Dom intercambiaron sus puestos y nadie de la televisión se dio cuenta.

[Wamiba]

@MrXerjyo Y, por último, aunque hayas borrado el comentario en que me insultabas yo lo he recibido, y me parece muy cobarde que me escribas todo en inglés y me insultes en español porque crees que no se, pero fijate que casualidad, soy española :)

La próxima vez que quieras ir de entendido, primero ten conocimiento de lo que hablas.

[MrXerjyo]

@Wamiba tal vez me equivoque y estes en lo cierto pero hay mucha difernecia entre grupos Musicales y Musicos de conservatorio como Apocalyptica

[Wamiba]

@MrXerjyo Pero si yo no critico a Apocalyptica, al contrario! soy una gran fan! solo que me da pena que tengan que hacer playback, porque en directo son buenísimos. Me alegro de que rectificaras tu comentario, porque estamos del mismo lado, pero la próxima vez piénsatelo dos veces antes de insultar a alguien :)

[MrXerjyo]

@Wamiba se me olvidaba no siempre es necesario un micro hay lugares con una acustica musical impresionante dejo otro video donde no traen el baterry pack con el micro para que veas y tu juzgues

youtube.com/watch?v=zdnD8660_W­0&feature=related

[gorgonzola231]

simply amazing... that is what i call music! a perfect blend of classical and rock.

[RaMMeRaaR]

im happy they didnt make it... if they did they would be making more "famous" music right now. and then i mean JB and LG music

[Raidetto]

Isn't anyone wishing that they made a Cirque du Solei (sp?) show featuring apocalyptica?

[tannesmusiccompany]

OMG Awesome.



[John19Morley93]

Anyone disliking this is just plain stupid -_____-

[Konartwist]

they wernt actual contestants right ?

[Greensmurf]

@Konartwist Right. They performed when the votes were coming in

[wegotmorebollix]

Whats the name of the second piece in this medley? I can't find it anywhere :(

[oskaline224]

@wegotmorebollix I think it's Faraway

[wegotmorebollix]

@oskaline224 Thanks for that mate.

[oskaline224]

@wegotmorebollix

I think it's Faraway.

[ReinaXElize]

@wegotmorebollix The title is Faraway, the instrumental version. There is one version with a vocal part, but in my honest opinion it idoens't come any close to the beauty of the instrumental version.

[supereend666]

84 like cocks in there ass

[pr000n000bie]

:(

my headset can't play it louder

:'-(

[touliz]

12 points from greece.

[ale4red]

OMG......this was an amazing show.....Apocalyptica had to win the Eurovision.....

[Graldosharpfang2]

You can have fun with a cello too XD, apocalyptica is the best instrumental band i have herad.,.

[BehindBlueEyes1972]

The one who is not touched by this has no heart!!! GOD!

[negativecreepx]

My mind was blown when Apocalyptica came on, probably the best year, the eurovision is rubbish but I watch it nevertheless :)

[Akkra0]

Now that's a show!!!

[Zizzykiller]

i thought there was a limit to home many ppl you are alowed on stage at one time
