Apocalyptica Eurovision Song Contest 2007 (High Quality)

[JumpyKonijnJK]

lol they headbang and play chello at the same time

[StylerofBeyond0202]

i think somenice deep and sensefull vocals and they would nearly sound like good old linkin park , even a few better (:

[ahorwood]

Sonata Arctica should compete for Finland. But aren't Apocalyptica superb live?

[ahorwood]

Sonata Arctica should compete for Finland.

[vypyr1]

wär geil wenn rammstein oder oomph für berlin kämen

[TomValedro]

this is weird.

[kunistvan]

Well, I'd be damned if I said I didn't like this. Does it mean I am actually blessed since I love it?

[Volgrand]

This song is better than any band or singer that has ever come to Eurovision.

Even better than Lordi.

(But Lordi still rocks :D)

[UnrealNumina]

Another case of the interval act being better than all the entries.

[azator983]

imagine a trip with acid in your brain in that place

wooooow

jjajaja

awesome

[RibicaSmrti]

I'm still amazed at what they can do with chelos xD xD

[zako2rz]

This was cool!! FInland thumb up

[FraVi216]

why they dont show more of the band?

[andrayathevampire]

because the cameraman sucks

[Kailynn187]

It's amazing with the performers and of course the great sound oO

[j2456h]

That was the best edition of Eurosong, just because it was in Finland.

[063405906]

IM FREAKIN HORNY! Y

[catarona]

i really really like apocalyptica :D

[Zagreb4ever]

6:10= now the real music starts!! XD

[darke2]

I´d prefer Worlds Collide for sure, THATS the real music imo.

[hellboykid]

I think tbh, that Cult's their best album. Worlds Collide is as great as almost all of their stuff though (Y).

[Stojo87]

2:52 = EPIC!!!!!

[fragiledreams84]

wish apocalyptica or nightwish compete next year.. finland has awsome bands

[GamerXtreme1993]

yeah finland have really awesome bands like APOCALYPTICA, Children of bodom, Poets of the fall, HIM, The Rasmus, Nightwish, the 69 eyes, Turbonegro,... among a LOT of others^^

GO FINLAND =D

[ChiliPepperr]

Excuse me, but Turbonegro happens to be a Norwegian band, not Finnish.

[minimaddnz]

turbonegro is from 3 or 4 different countries not just 1

[NoeLPZC]

How could you forget Sonata Arctica and Lordi!?

[AnjinSan92]

lol...lordi is disgusting in every way both musically and lyrically..not to mention the obvious ripoff of GWAR lol

[NoeLPZC]

:O *shocked*

Lyrically disgusting, yes. Ripoff of GWAR, yes. Musically disgusting, HELLZ NO!

Lordi are one of the catchiest acts I've ever heard. Sure they're a complete joke, and they're only catchy because they stole all the best shit from everyone else... but they put on a good show, with cool costumes and good catchy music... it's good ol' popcorn entertainment, and it's good shit. Why do they need to be more?

[AnjinSan92]

well simply because, kids today will look at lordi and think that lordi is da shit but they will never learn about the real, true artists of that genre of music who first did great things that lordi can only dream of achieving.Compared to some slightly 'older' bands like..Korn,slipknot,(and though i hate their lyrics and morales) Lamb of God (purely for the 'screaming' factor lol),dry kill logic etc. etc. lordi is as big as a chinese voting box =/ hard rock hallelujah..WTF?it's not even rock xD

[NoeLPZC]

Bah! You can't compare Lordi to Korn, Slipknot or Lamb of God! Completely different musical style! Lordi are pop-rock, with some heavy guitar - compare them to bands like KISS and ACDC (more like a parody of those bands XD ).

Hard Rock Hallelujah is a pretty ordinary song though. Do a youtube search for Wake The Snake or Biomechanic Man - both favourites of mine... or for some lyrical comedy, Who's Your Daddy!

[coalhalo]

Lordi has more akin to Korncob/Slapnuts/mallcore than anything. They are motivated by sales, not the music.

GWAR has toiled away in relative obscurity; being notorious for your costume/stage show is not the same.

I'm willing to bet more people can name a song by Lordi than know any title by GWAR, let alone what the name means.

[NoeLPZC]

"Lordi has more akin to Korncob/Slapnuts/mallcore than anything. They are motivated by sales, not the music."

As long as they keep making good music I don't really care what motivates them.

"GWAR has toiled away in relative obscurity"

The fact they're obscure is because they suck, not because they're "all about the music" or some such nonsense.

Only douchebags judge musicians by their commercial success. You've forgotten the most important part - the music! Lordi = roxxorz, GWAR = suxxorz.

[Appr0Man]

@fragiledreams84 This answr comes hella late but what the heck. ESC is for big artists that world has forgotten. Its for rising up forgotten talents

[xBringMeThatHorizonx]

anyone know if finland got through to Eurovision tonight? and if they did is their act any good? I agree, Nightwish should compete. that would be awesome

[notherly]

It's a shame that we couldn't get Apocalyptica to actually compete. Or Nightwish or anyone who could actually win the whole competition... Nobody wants to compete, because no band values Eurovision anymore... I mean those really amazing bands, who could really have a chance to win. Lordi was a nice exception.

[iwan0t0smith]

bands like nightwish cant compete. its against the rules

[catarona]

why is that?? i don't get it o.0

[benebirne]

nightwish tried it with sleepwalker! but the jury was stupid!!!!

[ti83master]

I don't think this is true- Holland is sending in a formation that has had great success for the last three years... three singers, granted, but definately an item...

[ti83master]

Oh, and Lordi was making music way before ESF... bands can compete if they want, though few will want to :D

[brookkoo]

Ahhh those swings....great I love Apocalyptica:)

[The5thHogwartsHouse]

Urmm peopel do knwo they wern't entered in eurovision right? they were the entertainment for inbetween the voting ... which is bias ,yes .

[Gingagirl]

I ent CRAZY when I knew that they would perform!! And the cute Lauri voice just makes it better ;)

[xBringMeThatHorizonx]

when i watched this I thought it was the most amazing thing ever, and still do, lol. they're incredible! and the girl on the trapeze is so good. Finlands easily the best country for music.

[4nkk0j4]

i agree with you, and i'm from finland.

[lucifiel]

i only watch eurovision to see what finland comes up with each year XD

[chasser12345]

@lucifiel or in this year ukrain

[0oSawahakasarah0o]

this is where...Apocalyptica became one of my favourite bands hahahh xD

=|

[Fiky123]

fuck the serbia.apocalyptica was the number one but the fuckin serbians won.

[sofreakingbored]

They din't paticipate. they just played there ;) And stop fucking Serbia :))

[Fiky123]

fucking serbia

[Necronitus]

Don't worry Fiky123,Serbians fuck you too

[LordElmoII]

fuckin bullshit that these guys didnt win,they were definatly the best,but its cuse of the bullshit voting system

[xXJillyBeanXx]

but Apocalyptica weren't contestants =\

I wish Ukraine had one!

[LordElmoII]

lol they wernt? i didnt know that. ah they still shouldve gotten an award. i dont watch the eurovision and when i do im on the computer so i just thought they wer contestants. hell they fuckin shoulda been they'd have carried the place even tho the judgings gone to shit since all the countrys started voting for each other

[xXJillyBeanXx]

No, they were the intervil (sp?) Entertainment. They were actually betetr than the finnish entry IMO

[moonmaria]

Music from Finland; Apocalyptica,

performance; Circus Circör from Sweden!

I'm so proud of the nice cooperation between two brother-countrys!!!

GREAT RESULT!!!

[dimitargvg]

This is awesome ,theese are one of my favorite bands ,they are rockin' man !!! 4ever Apocalyptica

[Doomolli]

hyvä yhtye. ei mikään kitaristi hyppelyä jota kaikki harrastaa vaan vihdoinki semmosia soittimia joilla kivasti pistää klassisen musiikin fanit polovilleen

[jamescull88]

right Xealswe, eurovision has now become about neighbouring countries voting for each other. all the eastern european countries vote for each other. it's not about the music any more, just bilateral relationships. the voting system is so screwed as well.

this medley of songs from last years was better than all the performances.

and why the fuck did that absolute munt from serbia win?

[whiteshadow3000]

Right... It looks like a fucking circus

[Tzoni]

Aika helevetin ykstoikkonen biisi

[Xealswe]

ESC has become such a disgrace. All east-european countries vote on themselves so that worthless songs get high points anyway. The truth that apocalyptica-a middle band in this 2007 year contest was one of the best performances proofs this

[blackgroszek]

this is a perfect band! I love it!

[HOOMV]

I prefered them with Corey Taylor...

[dreamracer7]

coooool!!! The best opening of the eurovision ever!

[DeadBittersweetCat]

But its a bit stupid that they do playback...it's senseless,hehe.

[DanaSoleliLuna]

It's...Amazing!!

O_O

The part with "Life burns!" was my favorite.

It was like Apocalyptica + Cirque du soleil, if you know what I mean...

The trapezists (I can't spell it), the dancers...

Wow!

[Nyristros]

Its a song from Worlds collide

the album not on sale at this date

its gracie i think

BUT AWESOME !!!!

[10am]

Yeah the first song they play is the title track of the Worlds Collide Album.

Beautiful song hey.

[Bartholomule01]

That was so amazing. I love Apocalyptica. I want this track on my iPod or somethin' this is an awesome track. The acrobatics was pretty amazing too.

[wiggmortem]

drums r way too loud

[celurlon]

is he ronald mcdonad jojo lol

[Mewffs]

They always do playback at Contests and awarards etc, it's not only apocalalyptica. It's all the bands performing without being in the contest. So don't be pissed of just because of that.

[InuGirl182006]

Wow. This is incredible. It's a shame that they didn't win this year--I heard that Moldova won.

[darkAequilibrium]

nah dear  they wernt participants they were just the after show entertainment

[Klaaspisar]

Its amazing how Finland managed to arrange the Eurovision like that. I loved it,

they won for the first time and the show was amazing. L O V E D the show.

[jelcogalactaboy]

Erm. Finland won last year, in Athens.

Jelco

[Klaaspisar]

no

yes, for the first time.

[gabrielh2k]

motore nirlech gurunain linaus

[Stojo87]

2:52 - absolutly epic!

[Dal167]

OMFG this is really something!!

Apocalyptica rock !!:P

[phantasus187]

First song is called "Worlds Collide"

[Bartholomule01]

So cool we get to see them play a new song (Worlds Collide), Farewell (the Instrumental Version) and Life Burns! awesome instrumental or not.

[simon4360]

[hippiepete73]

OMG this is sweet I wish I could of been there but i just found out about this Eurovision thingy and want to know what is about and when are they going to have the next one and wwhere. See I'm from america and this country is ghey and would like to see other countries

WINDMILLINGGGGGGGG

lmfao

ahhh well enjoyed it :]

Xoxoa

3>

[impamiizgraa]

Amazing and incredible performance, nontheless.

[impamiizgraa]

wtf is Apocalyptica doing on this joke of a programme

[02gordonj]

its the same question that can be asked for why lordi was on there. its a good way to get publicity in many countries (and the money must be good too)

[xintus1765]

Have no idea dude, same question about Lordi, WTF they were doing in this POS program...

[TheNarutofan92]

dunno. Ask them

[Athena82487]

They needed to ensure people would watch? Heck, no matter how bad the acts were, I'd watch for Apocalyptica's sake ^_^

[brazilnut54]

I know that there is some playback... just look at the slow motion on the girl on the trapeze. However, the music itself is not a playback... it is live. Yes, there was setup time, but no playback.

[khalileum]

Exactly, they don't need playback. But, this proves us that playback is evident because the nature of this event.

[Syldrinha]

I think that Apocalyptica doesn't need any playback they are an awesome band capable to do their best on their live performances. I suppose that the Eurovision Contest forced them to do playback...

Anyway, nice video... Apocalyptica the best

[dravika]

Exelent....

[exosuit]

that dude swallowing that light is insane. And I highly doubt that EUROVISION is filled with playbacks.

[magrody]

It had to be playback, there was no chance to set up every instrument it'd take at least 30 mins.

[daoud41]

fuck playbacks ! it's just pissing me off !

[noseofdoom]

it seems that unfortunate guy from "the fugitive" starred in this section :P

good music

[Al0u]

Songs here are

1-Worlds Collide (New one on their myspace)

2-Faraway

3-Life Burns

Pure amazement

[1paul35]

Great band Finland best music metal power

[sharrley]

good but electro gitar's voice is heard much more than cello

[cipy86]

Hello Finland, great show, great band. Apocalyptica the best. From Romania with love.

[Aleksiina]

That's rather magical looking. It was a great show. I think Apocalyptica was the perfect band for this.

[lacuniamix]

it's "life burns".apocalyptica and the rasmus feat)))

[Simpusmamma]

good band anyone knows the second song name??

[noam83]

Wow so wonderfoul !!!! I love Eurovision!!!!!!!!!! Apocalyptica for Finland the next year!!!!

[OceanSoulEvelien]

[inglebritt]

I wanted to punch him after the fifth time he went "Is that man still in the bubble?"

[pyrothesis1]

[peddigreehhh666]

Apocalyptica really is something to be proud of! And because of them, and other great finnish metal bands too,it makes me feel so good to be finnish...

But still... 12 points goes to..... THE BUBBLE DUDE!!

[berazer]

which songs do they play in this video? i am particulary interested in last song they play, one with the fire spining stuff in background :P

[jayomniflexx]

apocalyptica dot com

"27.04.2007

APOCALYPTICA at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest Final

Special Guests (not in the actual competition). They will bring their trailblazing brand of metal to the show's final entertainment climax, blending old hits and previewing tracks from new album in an 8 minute medley. Classical sounds of Metallica and Sepultura beamed out to over a BILLION viewers!!!!!"

There ya go m8. It's a compilation.

[annar]

The last song is Life Burns :)

[kathryn13]

the last song they played was life burns-apocalyptica ft lauri ylonen

[finisterra4]

It's SPAIN'S TURN TO VOTE: and twelve points goes to...... FINLAND!!! APOCALYPTICA!!!

[Maccready]

And it isn't Playback? They are so good at live shows, i have seen them few times so im sure they can, but im not sure about this show. Of course i wasn't there

[impronen]

Man, that rocked so hard.

[darkauris]

what a pity.. Lauri wasn't there.. :(((

[Fubbbel]

awesome!

[starlessdark]

I wish I was Finnish, Finland's metal output is something to really be proud of. I couldn't believe it when I glanced at the telly when Eurovision was on and Apocalyptica were on! I was thinking "Quality metal? At Eurovision?!"

[mamashutspotstinkt]

LIKE OMFG!! =O love it! =']

[SpavnOvHel]

Apocalyptica should participate in the name of Finland next year...

They made the best show of the whole Songfestival.

And they had the best music to that.

[rominhosan]

Amazing.

[frog1erl1dyo]

Love this!

I saw eurovision this time, with some friends, only to diss the show

...But this time, it was a good intro and a FANTASTIC pause show.

Only wrong winner.

THANK YOU FINLAND!

[enelwin]

J'AdOre ApOcalyptica!!!!!! <33333

Ich liebe ApOcalyptica!! <333333

[peppeworld]

finish heavy. good show. wrong winner. TAKE THAT FUKIN POPFANS!!!!!!!!!!HAHA!!!!

(suomi rulaa)

[exodus3076]

He only occasionally plays with them as he has commitments elsewhere. Antero Mannien (sp?) is his name.

[SergeantDickhead]

only three of them preforming?what happened to the guy wit the sunglesses?anyways,excellent performance.

[Lerferz]

To the best of my knowledge he's left the band.

[Shimrra1]

Shame, I liked him for some reason, he seemed so much serious than the other bandmembers. Great music though.

[sk8azz]

Now thats what i call a stage show to be honest.

[MuukaMaaka]

they're amazing.

[rosedoom69]

i cant imagine the silly faces of all these pop stars gathered in Helsinki, where they seat relaxing and suddenly watching apocalyptica playing infront of them... i suppose their hair would be like edward swissorhands....lol

[djsingh81]

I agree this did save it all...this made it worth watching for once..lol

[Shaltinanwenor]

OMG i LOVE apocalyptica... this whole eurovision was a contest of who would make the biggest crap, but just THIS saved it all :)

[djsingh81]

The whole of Eurovision was a shambles...no good music, no fit birds and that pink dress presenter...arghhhh!!! But as soon as Apocalyptica came on i was mesmorised! Wikid rock band!

[belong00]

this video is very well. yeah! live apocalyptica 4ever!!!. live the fuck Rock, yeah fuck off.

[njhcerebus]

these should have been the winners not the lesbos

[Nakkinaam4]

they werent competing, just a show before the results. and a great one.

[exosuit]

What happened to anero? Atleast I think thats his name (the guy with sunglasses)

[shakela1200]

hes not an official member any more, so he couldn't performe at eurovision, only at regular concerts.

[Llenlleawg]

ROCK THE FUCK ON.

[nptck]

wav wav wav şahane olmuşşş

[sanityslastdance]

Apcalyptica ftw ^^ They > all else, except Katatonia and D'espairsRay o_o
