Sonata Arctica - Fullmoon (Live @ Graspop 2008)

[TheWatchtower24]

Not sure if interesting alternate intro

Or doesn't feel like playing classic piano

[SvartMareritt]

Horrible sound equalization... The sound engeneer must be drunk.

Guitar too low, drums too high, bass guitar barely listenable...

[ktuluag]

Shitty intro, happy they realized it and don't do it anymore. Never the less good performance.

[renatofsu]

european crowds are useless

[FRMmega]

Tony is such an entertainer! He acts along with the songs, he jumps, interacts with the other members and with the crowd. All around great guy.

[LeatherTramp1]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WHATS UP WITH THE CROWD?? THEY DONT FALLOW ALONG .

[Reinblakexx]

@LeatherTramp1 Yes, they do, only is that the camera doesn't capture it.

[alissacampos]

elias is braindead?

[GomerSexual]

Tony Kakko is agreat singer, no doubt about, but as a frontman.... GOOOOOOOOD he's so terrrribbbbbblleee!! Tony, please just look at Geoff Tate, he exactly know how to act on a stage.

[metvelle]

@GomerSexual  thats not true.. coming from a guy has seen metallica multiple times, godsmack, rob zombie. linkin park and other great bands.. and I tell everyone sonata is my favortie band to go see.. tony is awesome on stage.. they are funny, they wing it and thrown random covers and such into songs, an crack a lot of jokes.. I will pay to see sonata everytime they come near my location, plus they all can really play

[moviemaker3000]

@GomerSexual Pffft? Since when is there a standard for being a good frontman? Tony knows how to entertain, all he does is be himself, and that's the best fucking person he can be.

[michaelthem3]

Dragonforce???? jajaj they're fraud, and live they cannot play the same way they record jajaajja maybe you should take a look on sonata, angra, avantasia, but in my concept dragonforce is nothing but an accelerated record (I play the guitar but don't like dragonforce live)

[PoisonAntidote]

@2:24 Giggity!

[scarletnieschmidt]

@muldmike - "frosts their pants" is now going to be used by me daily - haha!

[Rhapsody3991]

dragonforce is shit near sonata artica... come on please... go n watch a live from dragonforce the listen to a live from sonata... draw conclusions...

[suicidalowl09]

@Rhapsody3991 dude your right i saw dragonforce live in 07 and they where bollocks, i was there at grasspop and they where immense its good to see that someone has sense

[muldmike]

damn no one is into power metal anymore :( everytime i see Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, or NightWish live in a place like graspop no ones into it. and yet every frosts there pants over twats like ShitKnot

[DarkTribals]

@muldmike Oh Please to put Dragonforce in the same boat as Sonata and Nightwish..!

[muldmike]

@DarkTribals and why not? there a faster for of power metal. whats wrong with that?

[FCValle]

omg elias sucks!

[asearae]

OXIZAKRE!

[DarkLordNagash]

Worst crowd they could ever bring up. Shit crowd !

[McKLAIN1]

The only bad is there's no backin' vocals in Sonata Arctica live shows =(

[Cryptopsy666]

@McKLAIN1 Every time I have saw they they did, and on the Save of Revenge live DVD they all do backup vocals it's great. But that was back with Janne.

[KimboRamboFin]

@McKLAIN1 There used to be...

[McKLAIN1]

The only bad is there's no bachin' vocals in sonata arctica live shows =(

[downfall011]

omg they are noob funs!!!!! scream noobs Runaway runaway runaway !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mkulbs]

@downfall011 The P. I system is the one that is being recorded so they are in fact screaming run away. But the microphones just don't record that :]

[ForeverWarBound]

Wow come on no crowd appreciation for an absolutely incredible band!!!! Sonata come back to Philly we fucking love you guys!!!!!! Btw the guitarist isn't jani lol it's the new guy Elias

[julito1452]

Without jani is not equal, and toni kakko and the this band touching the ancient topics without desire, only for commitment that the powerful sonata punishes it went away, if sonata continues but already not as before

In tokio if they touched since it is deserved, and is because the Japanese ask for good music, sonata in other countries they improvise very much, sonata arctica if they can touch since do it really in the studies, but they do not do it because they do not want :/

[GXyoshi]

para mi estuvo mas animado la de tokyo

[CannibalFishfruit]

Oh fuck yeah! But it lacks keytar action and delicious bassists... But close-ups on are lovely too.

[trile666]

LOL bunch of noooooobs came to concert, they are not here for sonata arctica, nobody knows their songs !!!

[pecazizitop]

....great video!

[Horsantti]

I <3 you Jani!

[RussiaVFinnland]

2:54 LOL :DDD

[Crisdidarg]

JANI RULER!!

[Horsantti]

@Crisdidarg whait where was jani?

[metalfanzbodie]

@Horsantti the one who played the guitar solo duh lol

[Horsantti]

@metalfanzbodie that's not jani!

[MusicMaidenhead]

3:23

Sweet Dimebag Darrel trick going on right there!

[Isoscelescube]

STUPID CROWD

[dory96]

looks like they havent any proffesional camera...just a phone camera

This is relly HD

[Mirrosalone]

cant someone hear the keaboard wtf this song need keyboard!

[PiT0nZo]

Guitar sounded amazing at 3:49-3:52 some serious picking

[hures1]

I was there!

awesome! and a great enthousiasm! :D

[AnnaSofiaR]

What a crappy audience.

[drawnacrol]

I was their, great show

[FlyWithTheBlackSwan]

This is wacken 2008...

[PulseOfTheAwakening]

awesome i was there !! and that's how i discoverd Sonata Arctica

[FizzyKarma]

Elias Viljanen (i think thats who it is) should stay as a solo artist. always loved his music. Jani should have stayed with sonata - but thats how the world works :(

[SilverAsakura]

STUPID CAMERA MAN THAT DOESN'T RECORD KEYTAR SOLOS!

[TheWinFailure]

@SilverAsakura Pretty shure one of the Camera men was there. The one in the cut just didn't chose his camera -.-

[metalgod1993]

it feels good spotting a dutch flag in the audience :)

And btw.. it does not suck at all.. the quality ain't good, and the crowd is not recorded.

why the f*ck do people not understand that!

They were soo great in Amsterdam. Tony was in such a great shape, so were all the members!

You should see them live.. people will know differen't after.

[Grandy2112]

whoaa ... and just fuck up the song!

[mrluisnba]

yeahhhhh is the bestt!!!!!!!!

[misterantonis1231]

2:39 knock on the door is freakin hilarious !!!!!!

[PippoYoung96]

Jani Limatainen Is way better than the current Sonata Arctica 's Guitar player

[XaleManix]

@PippoYoung96 They're both fantastic, you're just closed minded.

[PippoYoung96]

@XaleManix Yeah yeah yeah yeah.... D=

[XaleManix]

@PippoYoung96 Aaaand accidentally Voted your comment down whilst attempting to click reply. Sorry. What I want is for Jani and E.Vil to BOTH be in Sonata :P

[cminormusician]

they need like 50 shotgun mics on the crowd.

only real way to record a live album

[1511Jeji]

Oooh Tony looks like so adorable in those green pants :))

[Hugoj33]

the crowd is gay

[XxDANIxX4]

this didn´t has the best quality.....but still is THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!

[urigeller575757]

this version sucks totally

[Aeway100]

Graspop crowd has always sucked

[filsommer]

1:22 Pornfields :D

[klogg4]

2:39 lol

[manslayer8132]

Haha you can hear Elias mistaking at 4:17 ^^

I love it to hear that even they can make a mistake live ^^!!!

Great video!!! :D

[mhenr18]

@manslayer8132 Bahahaha you can too. It's all normal and you just hear this BLUUUURGH xD

[manslayer8132]

@mhenr18 I didn't mean to take Elias down ore something...

He is a great guitarist ^^

And I played live monday 8 November ^^

And shure I made some mistakes thats why it feels good that they do make them to ^^

[ElGolemista]

[AprellaDguild]

Memories <3

[kmandarandomhelper80]

OMG!!!

there voices are so fucking hilarious!!!!!

i love full moon!

[Max10192]

is it just me, or the two albums after jani are complete garbage?

[JaviCheeze]

@Max10192 agree with you...

[GetchaPull2]

lol! 2:25

[deadman6066]

I found Waldo!

[IgorPcar]

@deadman6066 hahahahhahaa it took me like 2 minutes to get it ;D

[c4gob00m]

@deadman6066 i was about to say "yarr, i be a pirate" but this outdoes that 10:1

[steveharrismaiden666]

GOD LOOK HIS PICKING AT 3.49 AT 3.51 IS VERY FAST

MY GOD _o_

[moviemaker3000]

I know we all miss Jani...but I think Elias is much more solid player live. There I said it >_<

[Dudepepi]

@moviemaker3000 I saw Sonata live and I didn't liked the way he was playing. In my opinion, both are good but I think Jani is way much better

[moviemaker3000]

@Dudepepi I saw them live too. Elias was fantastic.

[scrofascrofa]

no piano???? no fucking piano intro??????? WHAT A SHIT...no, no completely shit, but jani rulez!

[TrueDragonForceFan10]

I think they need to turn up the keyboard volume

[johnjohn123456777]

I wish they had the crowd recorded in would sound awesome with "run away run away run away"

[C0bfan666]

"dont touch my ass!" at 2:35 LOL

[ninjasaursrock]

FULL MOON!!

[OrlyYaRlyK]

This crowd should be ashamed that was an amazing performance! Tony has a mind blowing live voice.

[Shiek200]

God, I love how much fun Tony has on stage. You can just tell how much he really loves what he does!

[adarias]

Real great version!!!! It was awesome!!!!

[anthlon48]

PARCE NO SE SI ME ENTIENDAN PERO SOLO DIGO ESTO GRACIAS POR SEVERO VIDEO JEJEJEJEEJ SONATA ARTICA YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHH

[jolocoloco]

@anthlon48 está cabrón!

[Soadevafan933212]

Best band in the universe, saw them 3 times, recentlyHennka needs to be louder, the keyboards are a Huge part of the band! o-o........MAKE THEM LOUDER!!!

[aae1234]

I WANT JANI :/ though elias is awesome also

[gigglesilly17]

YAY! -Lenex-

[moimoiac]

Dessel in Belgium I was there!

[banaantoetje]

Oh if this was in the Netherlands, it is logic the crowds are tards. Ppl have forgotten there what true music is... And SA isn't famous in here (yes I am Dutch), althrough I know them and they rock :D

[Erithlon]

@banaantoetje This was in Belgium, but you're right. A lot of people don't like metal and sometimes even detest it and mock it...

Zolang wij maar leven voor het Metaal ! :D

[Alyssil]

You can say what ya want about the crowd, but there was a fuckin nice atmosphere (I was there <3). There always is on GMM! Can't wait till next June!

[jkoeberli]

gotta see sonata at night <--- \m/

[LeonDXify]

dragonforce was there once..and the singer of sa shouted hut!! hut!! hut! hut! was he following dragonforce, zp theart??

[DiegoX156]

Why didn't he record the keyboard solo? And why didn't they play the piano intro?

[DiegoX156]

Why didn't he record the keyboard solo? And why didn't they play the piano intro?

[SilverAsakura]

The camera man is really the most fucking idiot person ever... he didn't record Henrik's solo... what a horrible mistake.

[rAtA9523]

xq jani se fue a la carcel?

[hitmanieves]

is the publick not into it? a cannot hear the runaway's... if i was there i will shout util mi vocals and soul were whorn out XD

[Sichyworm]

God crowd fuckin sucks. Not SA's best performance in my opinion..

[MoOsHw]

For 1, wow the singer has chief clothes, his mike is shit, why would u beat up ur mates to fullmoon? Quite a few hot chiks in the crowd and ROCK ON SONATA ARCTICA!

[HarvesterBob]

Sonata was my favorite band until Jani left... I just cant find any powerful songs on The days of the gray.. just my opinion

[Glufius]

I feel you bud.

It's hard to love a band when you're used to something else.

But if you listen to The days of grace properly, it actualy have a lot of powerfull songs ;)

[ktuluag]

@HarvesterBob  Flag in the Ground

[reniux126]

Good performance. This is my favourite song:) check out 2:24

[Oerger89]

I 've been repeating that moment for so long, then i noticed i wasn't the only one that caught it..enternaining :p

[xHeArLs0x]

kiero saber porke jani se salio o lo korrieron hahaha ai me disen

[XXXWiziManXXX]

se salio porque tenia "deberes" pendientes en finlandia, es decir tenia que ir a la carcel por no acer el ejercito obligatorio en finlandia

[ChiloteFlaite]

@xHeArLs0x duh sale en wikipedia ._.

jani se fue a la carcel por saltarse el servicio, luego volvió y se hizo una banda llamada Cain Offering junto a Miko harkin y kotipelto

[freziloka015]

genial la rola.. xD!!

[mushrum666]

sin jani no es lo mismo.

[XXXWiziManXXX]

tony be my father plz

[TheSinthoras]

yes...i love the part where the crowd shouts FULL MOON after the first refrain...but here its missin =(

[riseagainstrul33]

the crowds are shit... they should have sang the " run away, run away run away " in the chorus

[ginmetal]

...many people say "where is the crowds?...what's wrong...this crowds are shit...WTF"...ok..now : the crowd audio are not recording, you listen only band sound...the chorus was there but here you can't listen...unfortunately there isn't a recording with crowd audio...

[Shiek200]

@ginmetal Call me crazy, but I'd rather listen to the band than the crowd.

[Tenrash]

oh believe me, they did, i was there.

But in Graspop recordings you can never hear crowd

[riseagainstrul33]

must have been amazing with dragonforce there too

[mfbabin]

Dragonforce played in 06 and 09, so They weren't there with SA.

[riseagainstrul33]

oh sorry my bad

[CrashBandicoot1990]

@riseagainstrul33 maybe they don't give to him that kind of respect to sing "run away, run away..."

[filipelb93]

danm bastards , sonata doens't deserve that public, if they play in Brazil they would now what is a loud public.

Stupid crownds

[mulleygraves]

they also wouldn't understand your english

[goilik]

wtf is wrong withe the crowd!!! i would kill anybody to see this band i love it!!

[zulawoo]

there were over 50000 people there, with main acts as kiss, judas priest and iron maiden, i understand the crowd going somewhat mellow here...

Also.. I noticed alot of people didn't really like this band, i was with a group of friends of over 20 people there, however I was the only one who wanted to see these guys badly and rushed forward...

Secondly, they really cut out alot of audio, because the crowd was pretty awesome.. compared to any other band this day and the other 2 days...

[jolocoloco]

whats wrong with the crowd?! i'd be like... all crazy killing everybody!!

[zulawoo]

The crowd's audio has been cut out mostly. they went preyy wild, however...

it was a festival with insane names.. there were 3 days

the headliners of each day were.. Kiss, Iron maiden and judas priest.. so, you can guess if they weren't throwing off all of their enegery just yet :D

[jolocoloco]

well that explains a lot, but anyways i'd rather go see sonata than kiss, priest or even maiden! i mean i love them all but.. =D you know, everyone has their own hits.

[szalmapityi]

beauty:)

[BSWarHawk]

damn crowds.

[VolcanoEmporer]

I agree, the crownds pretty damn stupid

[fredvain]

Graspop?

[paleceumacolneta]

where is this?

[AndyMetallicaBaby]

bella esecuzione ma......la chitarra??

la testiera? booboo

[ApocalypticaGirl13]

Fuck that fucking crowd. If i were there it would be so loud!!! Those idiots can't fucking shout!!!

Poor Tony.... Argh damn it, i'm coming to the next gig!!! \m/ Sonata fucking rocks!!!

[Susification]

Kakko dresses funny and that new guy should take guitar lessons but i like them anyway!!!!

[Maggotx27]

aguante sonata mierda!!!

[ktuluag]

I think they've only done this intro once, I can see why.

[FatiDannu]

Sono uno dei pochissimi gruppi power metal che rendono bene anche dal vivo

[4look4rd]

Great song, but horrible performance..... I hope they are better this live :<

[EcoFascist]

That drummer is completely useless! Haha why do they have that retard behind the drums? Any crapdrummer on youtube can beat him

[C0bfan666]

thanks :) heheheeheh

[PowerDaso]

The piano intro pleaaase!!!! C'mon! That was what gave the whole song a good feeling!

[Emilokt94]

@PowerDaso i totally agree with that

[SuperSonic44]

@PowerDaso - I agree with that too

Would have been funny if they'd played the opening to Total eclipse of the Heart like they did on their most recent UK show in Dudley

[jiri1991]

@PowerDaso

no I like it the way they do it! nice little improvisation to the album version!

[crstobaljvp]

Pues a mi me gusto como comienza :) aunque prefiero la intro de piano!

No se escucha o no dicen "run away, run away" ¬¬?

[santiuni86]

esta mejor la vercion en estudio

[ApocalypticaGirl13]

HERMAN ROCKS!

<3 sonata artica <3

[MiguehCISV]

@ApocalypticaGirl13 Herman??

[ApocalypticaGirl13]

Is about something else ^^ Well, heart and soul for Tony <3<3 WOOW! \m/

[SoulBirthGuitar]

i miss lani but sonata artica rules

and about dragonforce, they are trying really hard now, theyre better live and i love their energy on stage

[chatarray]

mola mas la intro con piano original

[JPmax89]

jani's only shredding, Elias master more techniques which makes him a better guitarist. He has better "feeling"  also.

[bmstylee]

wtf they show the guitar solo but no keyboard solo.

[C0bfan666]

nice

[nuebom]

i might just name my unborn child Tony...

...oh, no, wait. I already did..

[LordTaylorK]

tough crowd.

[CaptainColon]

you just can't hear them cause of how it's mixed, i've NEVER seen a silent crowd at a sonata show

[Seigwarheit1]

prob have crowd muted or lowered to make band sound louder

[lemetaleudu13]

Run away! Run away! Run away!

[lovedrums4ever]

Jani rules!!!! Elias is shit

[EOGS4492]

Man, can anyone show me a video of a band delivering a truly stellar performance at Graspop?

[mfbabin]

DUDE!!! you should totally check out DragonForce '06! they were the shit!! :P

[BandWheelsInMotion]

Emphasis on "shit"

[CheezeFox]

Your screen-name is BandWheelsInMotion, and you've jumped on the Dragonforce Hate Bandwagon...

...I don't even need to try, the joke just makes itself!

DUDE!!! you should totally check out DragonForce '09! they were FUCKING AWESOME!! :P
