[gruntshunts123]

#10-no #9- cool #8- don't hate #7- not really what i'd want from a metal band #6- not my favorite #5- I don't hate #4- okay not the greatest #3- NOW were talking!!!!! #2- not my kind #1- I like 1 pretty well. As for suggestions: Try Mayan, Fleshgod apocalypse, perhaps even Miseration.

[MrDemondad13]

No comment. Just saying stuff on random videos. ICE APPLE. pass it on.

[MetalGirlLina]

i`m crazy about Epica, After forever, Within Temptation......but Nightwish......they are gods of symphonic metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TeslaHQ]

oOh god.... "gothic metal"... noone of this shit cant compare with Theatre of Tragedy (i mean 1-4 albums befor Liv Kristine leave them)

[neCronomlCa]

Epica is my favorite one, but the others are great too *-*

[AcuresX10]

7:08 Enjoy.

[TheDarkrose81]

Love Draconian best doom gothic metal band!!

[mfe173]

within temptation is the best<3<3<3

[12321marianne]

Tarja.

[ofssk]

what is the last Nightwish song ?

[MrStanger307]

@ofssk storytime

[TheRicochet4]

Tarja.

Everyone compared to her sounds like second hand karaoke.

I like Sharon, Vibeke, Floor, Lory.. but again, they cannot be compared with Tarja.

[heliosaga]

You're welcome to listen to our demo tracks!

[xDoveGivesYourLove]

Im proud to be dutch, Delain,Within Temptation,Epica,After Forever are so good. <3

But Nightwish and Lunatica are also very good. c:

[dukesarx]

they are all female singers..... disappointed

[PandoraSixx6]

Where is avantasia ?

[SHARON35248]

Anette is the second!

[SHARON35248]

Sharon is the best!

[Blepable]

Man... Best genre ever.

[kirikatanasan]

ummmmmmm.... Where is Haggard!!!????!!!!????

[Wizzert333]

Amazing! You have some awesome taste, You have given all my fav bands!

This is really, really good music!!

[lordgenesis666]

nightwish with anette???? nahhhhhh TARJA TARJA TARJA FOREVER!!!

[filipposrss6320]

man add kamelot !!!

[Nightocrawler]

Tristania the best

[engrfka]

Nightwish is the best....simply admit it :p

[cybermelk]

everything nightwish made when Tarja was in it was awesome. the music is still perfect, only vocals sucks besides Marco's (imo) Toumas is still as talented as he ever was along with the rest of the band ^^

[koksiarz1910]

Nightwish best !

[dooddoortinus]

1. Kamelot 2. Epica 3. Krypteria. the rest just moves down a bit. And i keep wondering why everybody puts nightwish on top of their list. they're good but not better than epica and certainly not better then kamelot(not with Roy Khan in their ranks).

[xxvalou50xx1]

can i have the name of the 2nd song of nightwish, please ?

thanks & sorry for my english, i'm french

[Macklan400]

@xxvalou50xx1 That song is Sleeping Sun, and it is beautiful!

[brianalyn13]

Lunatica are so 80's pop.

[sirop08sirop08]

молодец, очень классные песни выбрал, СПС. Если бы только были ВКонтакте, чтобы качнуть себе

[haywardlee82]

why does every1 always put NIGHTWISH first??????????????

am i the only one who wouldn't????

[silversplender]

@haywardlee82 I wouldn't. I would put Within Temptation first, then Lacuna Coil, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica, Epica and then maybe Nightwish if something better didn't come up. Also, Nightwish was BETTER with Tarja anyway.

[heshamsafi]

@haywardlee82 nightwish was pretty damn awesome till tarja left

[Adamswhackycircus]

I do believe you are missing Dawn of Destiny

[bubblanz]

for me, epica and nightwish both are nr 1...

[DFAVLnaruto]

thumps up for Within Temptation!!!

[abadnad]

Avenged Sevenfold is the best melodic metal band ever

[brianalyn13]

@abadnad See, now you're just trolling.

[xwgtsilverfox666]

The Black Dalhia Murder - Best live Melodic Death Metal

[val1s1]

This is such an AMAZING LIST!!!!

[xXB3RNiEXx]

[chopantura]

[Hachiii2000]

Nightwish 4 eveeeeeeer :DD

[keokisgod]

this video is like a DARK CHEST OF WONDERS

[ThePoetsWolf09]

@MrGuitarLukas black label sucks!!!! Their music is only for fags!!! Their CRAP. See you would not like it if we all said that to you. Don't be so biased. Nightwish can never suck. Music is all opinions, so we your not wrong or right

[JoaobqLives]

50- evanescence, 49, evanescence, 48,46,45,44,43,42,41,40,39,38,­37,36,35.34.33.32... EVANESCENCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEE IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN NIGHTWISH

[sumuklubocek8]

epica epica epica epica epica epica epica epica epica epica and simone simons

[teslaa44]

i totally agree for the top!

[rprime7]

Probably one of the better lists like this I have seen, but I want to know why I am not seeing KAMELOT on these lists???? Granted Khan has nothing on the ladies for looks, but has an amazing set of lungs anyway. And the music is so well done in all aspects I still can't believe I am not seeing them listed. Can anyone enlighten me???

[leewds123]

a bit wierd u put draconian at 10 and nightwish 1st dude draco wins hands down

[coffeelover632]

@leewds123 exactly!

[Trowa279]

Good video but for me, Within is N°1.

[pochtanah]

Worst thing about Nightwish is that Tarja left.

anyway

Haggard, Summoning, Rhapsody

[xlnightwishlx]

amazing video!!

Fantastics bands,i didn't know lunatica and inow i really like it...

My favourite song of Within is Ice Queen and i think the best music of tarja is end of all hope but i also like the musics you chose!

[ozzzzy939]

...i just cant take female vocalists seriously, im not trying to be like... a masculine or something, i just cant hear their voices mixed with the heavy rhythm...

[arhabersham]

I recently discover how much I really like simphonic metal it and this video had just gave me tools so I know what bands to target. F*cking thank you!

[emil9412]

I like all of the bands here but as a few others were saying... noone can beat Nightwish, they are without doubt the best, even though Epica is not far behind them :P

[cocohellfiend]

you have forget lot of good bands like Rhapsody of Fire considered has the king of symphonic metal

[lolz11113]

This was the best list I ever heard, absolutely all bands and songs are great!

[AlterSniper]

Yeah... Nightwish inspired most of the Symphonic Metal bands worldwide... Nice top 10, by the way. :D

[agj9]

@AlterSniper your forgetting within temptation.

[TheBlackHalo04]

NIGHTWISH YES ...-NEW SINGER ...NOOOOO!!! TARJA SOO MUCH BETTER:)

[MrGuitarLukas]

@NewYorkDoberman u know its the TRUTH SO SHUT UP TOO COCKSUCKER !!!!!!

[TheErnestocore]

@MrGuitarLukas delain faborite gothic girl

[Shadowmov3r]

@MrGuitarLukas Instead of being a sad little cancer spreading around hate comments (yes your history is full of it) why not shut the fuck up and enjoy life a little more, oops sorry, you're 15, full of internet toughguy hormones and armchair kung fu mastery.

[MrGuitarLukas]

@Shadowmov3r ohh your comment hurts soo bad XD

Nightwish sucks!!!!

[Shadowmov3r]

@MrGuitarLukas The fact that you come back just proves my point, you're a sad little cancer, a cyst, a annoying orotundity. You were hurt, admit it, you say you're not hurt, but why do you reply to me? You know why, you were hurt, your little ego was damaged and you can't stand people doing that. But that's what a cancer is all about, coming back and be worse everytime you return. The very thought about you being the same race makes me sick.

[MrGuitarLukas]

@Shadowmov3r night wish sucks u know its the truth!!!!

only fags hear their music!!!!

[MrGuitarLukas]

@MrGuitarLukas why are u soo quite now !!!!!

I think u know now that im saying the truth !!!!

[AlterSniper]

@MrGuitarLukas What's your problem? You don't like Nightwish? We all have different taste when it comes to music, but I really don't understand you... :D

[vruchtegebak]

My all time top 10 favorite bands/artists: 10: Emilie Autumn 9: Epica 8: Mandragora Scream 7: Flyleaf 6: Krypteria 5: Amberian Dawn 4: Evanescence 3: Paramore 2: Within Temptation 1: ReVamp

[ash3344]

[N4BZi]

@ViktorKrum10x lol thank you so much...

[dauntSilver]

@ViktorKrum10x that redhead is a bombshell, brotha! I wish one of my body parts was that mic. ;D

[Darkfeather21]

@kazatiz Shut up, Evanesscence is a great band. @encamile They actually don't belong here. Amy and the crew aren't Symphonic, Gothic, or Melodic. Also, keep in mind that this is this guys/girls opinion.

[HellServant04]

LUNATICA LUNATICA LUNATICA LUNATICA LUNATICA!

[pacoo117]

my top 10 10-nightwish 9-nightwish 8-nightwish 7-nightwish 6-nightwish 5-nightwish 4-nightwish 3-nightwish 2-nightwish 1-NIGHTWISH! :D

[LightLink1992]

@pacoo117 but then the title wouldnt fit :o

[MrGuitarLukas]

@pacoo117 NIGHTWISH IS SHIT

[TheErnestocore]

@MrGuitarLukas within temptation faborite style

[TheErnestocore]

Responder a este vídeo... lacuna coil 32 leaves

[ThePentagon93]

@MrGuitarLukas Do you now what do you said now ?? Don't you dare talk like that about Nightwish !!!

[MrGuitarLukas]

@ThePentagon93 i only say the truth nightwish sucks period !!!

[ThePentagon93]

@MrGuitarLukas Why do you think that Nightwish is bad ? Is amazing, simply epic, so I don't know why it is shit for you ? Tell me, what don't you like in Nightwish ???

[MrGuitarLukas]

@ThePentagon93 because they have no good songs not only one!!

the guitarist cant play only on pentatonic !!!!

the woman sings badly she is only in this band to suck the tiny digs off the other guys in the band !!!!!

so nightwish is shit°!!!!!

[ThePentagon93]

@MrGuitarLukas 0o lol 0.0. You don't like music which show Nightwish, beacuse evidently you like other type of music. The songs with Tarja Turunen are very good. Anette Olzon... she is good, but now Nightwish isn't previous epic Nightwish with Tarja

[pacoo117]

@MrGuitarLukas FUCK YOU!:)

[MrGuitarLukas]

@pacoo117 hahahaa nightwish is shit



[MrGuitarLukas]

@pacoo117 hahaha nightwish is shit

[Ladykittiana]

@pacoo117 you missed... NIGHTWISH!



[TheYorx07]

@pacoo117 yeahhh i love ightwish :DD

[MrSirDel]

@pacoo117 No imagination eh?. God you must be boring LOL

[idraptor]

Nightwish Whitout Tarja  (-10)

[TheSSGUARDIAN]

6:31 and 7:09 

[TheSSGUARDIAN]

this are great songs !

[XxChrisAnthonyFanxX]

@dmoore0158 YESSSS

[DinoZahn]

nice choice of the titels, nice choice of the bands, nice ranking = very nice video :D well done ^^ *thumps up ;)

[Dcarl26]

Im with the guy on kamelot sucks khan left

[Sky7limitXnot]

What's the name if the second Draconian song?

[TheVendela97]

If a band changes their vocalist, it is not the same band... :(

[ImmaFOOT]

If its going to be your first time listening to Nightwish, make sure its of Tarja Turunen's works. Because, in my opinion, that new singer sucks. Also Tarja's singular albums are the bomb-diddley too! Try "My Winter Storm"

[XxChrisAnthonyFanxX]

@ImmaFOOT yesss i totally agree. but sahara and bye bye beautiful are killer :)

[ImmaFOOT]

@XxChrisAnthonyFanxX Cadence of Her Last Breath is a good one too.

[danthony246]

Quality

[youyou67100]

What was the tittle of the last music we can hear on this video plz ?

[UndeadMetalMuts]

Nice list! Tarja's Nightwish is unbeatable.

As a recommendation: Dark the Suns

[Sky7limitXnot]

Love these songs

[Raolh]

Kamelot is still the best of all power metal bands.

[LNDS209615]

symphony x?????

[Fallenfanatic1]

A solid list with a number of quality bands. Xandria are another great band.

[StarQueenEms1994]

Nightwish, Epica, and Within Temptaton=my favorites! Tarja, Anette, Simone, and Sharon all have such amazing/beautiful voices.

[ZYRADIA]

@StarQueenEms1994 ... You are dead on with your favorites. Those are damn good metal bands !!! They all command their own slightly different metal sound.

[StarQueenEms1994]

@ZYRADIA, Thanks so much! It's good to know that someone has a similar, if not exact, music taste with me. Yes, they all command their own sound, but that's what makes them all great.

[Senaku411]

i miss tarja new singer is ok but never will be as awesome as she was

[YourInMyShoes]

how'd you go with nightwish's change of vocalist?

[tallyhoman911]

why is everyband have a female singer? o_o

[Fulorian]

@tallyhoman911 Because there's an aspect of beauty in heaviness innate to gothic/symphonic metal that isn't possible with a male singer. Symphonic metal without a female is like New Wave without a keyboard/synth

.

[trikki205]

What is the Name of the number two???

[HenDrick217]

Draconian, the best!!

[encamile]

where's evanescence ??

[Kazatiz]

@encamile Please die.

[encamile]

@Kazatiz please shut the fuck up and respect my opinion

[Kazatiz]

@encamile Kids shouldn't be allowed on the internet, sorry. Evanescence has no talent whatsoever.

[encamile]

@Kazatiz i don't have to blame you cuz you're deaf to say tha evanescence got no talent

[1995Siana]

Epica..<3

[DenasMomma]

I was pleasantly surprised to hear this(I could be the grandmother of the average listener!)-I come from a background that includes Brahms, the Beatles, etc.-Of course, darkness and/or nihilsm is nothing new i.e. Werther; DaDa, etc. That lead singer of Epica is a smoker!!!-krw

[aleksawildchild]

i just love melodic songs <3 <3 fucking awesome !!!! \m/

[MitternachtCrimson]

DRACONIAAAAN <3

[ICJ3X]

I love simone but would someone please explain why simone was naked on the divine conspiracy? Is that a slutty move or not? O_O

[ch40z7h30ry]

@ICJ3X don't complain, just enjoy it... XD Ask Oliver Palotai how he feels about it.

[TarjaVoiceOfFinland]

I've got new top :) Here is it : 1. Nightwish 2. Within Temptation and Epica 3. Delain and VoA 4. Lunatica 5. Amberian Dawn

[DesolaceDivine]

Hey guys, if you like female fronted metal and want to discover new bands, you could check out our fresh new band. We got our first two demo songs done a while back. Check it out at our profile!

[bjarret123]

[sideskraft]

Never heard of Delain before, but very nice!

[az6782]

i don't really understand how everybody likes nightwish, i prefer epica most!

[Turiyaband]

solid choices!  +1 for Draconian \m/

[xwithintemptationx]

Of course Nightwish wins, I love within temptation to death but I really think Nightwish is the best in symphonic metal.

[imimaginingchaos]

wooooo! nightwish! :D

[MrScolaz]

i think that the sins of thy beloved are a good band too

[idraptor]

Si Nightwish (Superior lejos) Pero a Tarja solista no le va nada mal.-

Xandria - Save my life

Magica - All waters have the colour of drowning.-

Suenan muy bien y con buena letra.-

[beauwinterfoot]

boy music sure has changed since i was kid. whatever happened to the good songs like "Tip Top ButterMop" and Wendy's Ways?" no WONDER the earth is falling apart because of ROAD RAGE and GLOBAL WRAMING. how can we ecpect things to be beautfiul if everyone is shouting in their songs? answer me THAT i tell you ~Beau Winterfoot
