nightwish-Poet and the Pendulum Pt.1 (wacken 2008)

[skihoppmar]

i think tarja is best.

naah anette is better.

screw that, marco is the best

[HelloMeNameDane]

Tarja is good but anettes much better!

[Peulea]

pls come to colombia!!!!!! pls pls pls!!!!

[FelipeRivendel]

Great Nightwish !

Awesome !!

[TheFoufoutos7]

Κάποιος να την κάνει να σκάσει επιτέλους.....Ρε Μάρκο....σώσε την κατάσταση.....ή να τραγουδάς ΜΟΝΟ εσύ ή απλά μην μπαίνετε στον κόπο να κάνετε συναυλίες.Είναι και αποκρουστικό το θέαμα της, ειναι και χάλια μαύρα η φωνή της, η Τάρια ήταν όμορφη και συνάμα που λεμε "underground". Mα καλά, τόσο καιρό που ψάχνατε, δεν μπορούσατε να βρείτε κάποια ταλαντούχά? Λέω εγώ τώρα.

[Indera9537]

Anette and Tarja are good in their own way. Although I loved the old Nightwish, people who don't like Nightwish now can go listen to Justin Bieber instead.

[Norica96]

-3

Nothing more to say.

[NatsumiCat1]

i like her, she's amazing.



[Genosukesan]

Nice voice range I gotta say!

[MrsLesleyOlivia]

I would like to hear Tarja singing this song

[KEOKOsensei]

Her voice is amazing!!!

[Htown20XX]

Tarja was better it seems like she was more like an opera singer her voice had more power

[kiiuliiini]

@Htown20XX lol well she was soprano and anette is not. You really cant compare them :) x

[LOUPETIS77]

who is singing?britney spears?

[doukou1]

now... THIS is music!

[JhonConnorT1000]

you're listening to the new nightwish album dark passion place and this song is called the poet and the pendulum

[wildragon361]

@JhonConnorT1000 arrrgh how much i hated that fucking message before they released DPP xDD

[SesyuaRositaaj681]

hëy_Í_fÉËl_sÖ_lonÉlý_t0Dàý

[SetsuSchokomuffin]

You cannot find ONE video here on Youtube, where the people don't discuss who's better, Anette or Tarja -.-"

I think you can't really compare them, because they've such different types of voices. I better like the older songs of Nightwish, but Anette is also a very good singer, especially in this video.

[G0th4ki]

I dont see too much chemic between Emppu and Anette voices, but they turned in something like a sunset after a cold rainy day that I really LOVED!

[AsserKortteenniemi]

@G0th4ki

Emppu doesn't sing. It's Marco who sings male vocals in Nightwish.

[MrLondongreek]

@G0th4ki

Emppu's voice? how do you even express an opinion when you dont know that emppu is the guitarist....

[G0th4ki]

@MrLondongreek he is singing too u know? -.- just the secondary voice

[MrLondongreek]

@G0th4ki

emppu is never singing man you have got it all mixed up....its marco who is the male vocalist as well as the bassist.....emppu is the guitarist....

[chaskagalactic581]

If you are a true Nightwish fan, then you know that Tarja WANTED to leave Nightwish. She was upset with HOW Nightwish dismissed her from the band, not at that fact that they dismissed her. I've seen interviews where she she said herself she was ready to leave. I wouldn't want her to come back to Nightwish because the Tarja I would want has died and moved onto better things that make HER happy. Anette is actually happy with herself and the band and you can tell, which is very important ;)

[DreamerWings]

wow they sound great in live

[DreamerWings]

wow they sound great at live

[PrinceOfDahaka]

Anyone who doubts the power of annette's voice should listen to this song!

[fripful]

神秘的だね～

[mog440]

maybe Annete isnt as worse as my first thought

[huskar23]

1:57 - intro of an Symphony of Destruction on a sea 2:11 - the symphony begins ! 2:37 - the siren appears and everything goes calm

To conclude – masterpiece! I hope Imaginarium will be the same or why not.. even better !

[robixax]

I WANT TARJA!!!

[Dollreviewz155]

@robixax She has a solo career. If you really love her then support her.

[Veredain]

@Dollreviewz155 You're right man. Those who like Tarja should go to support her, we are Nightwish and we will be with they always. You understand @robixax and strangers?

[SETI03]

@robixax then go and support her solo career

[filth69ify1]

As Soon As I Played The Album, I Knew I Was Getting Into The Most Adventurous 1 Hour and 15 Minutes of My Life!

[xskullxkissesx]

1:11 notice the complete silence in the crowd! If this was done in America, you'd rarely get complete silence as such!

[moreblack]

Best Nightwish song.

[martatodua]

AWESOME!say-Hep,Hep.Hep!

[frantrig]

When I first heard NW's new era I was utterly disappointed but after hearing this I understand that it's a new era indeed, and it's excellent

[quyphuongtay]

I love from 3:10 - 3:14 , skaking head is great <3

[EmperorZhang66]

amazing song, but annette dosen't have a very good stage presence.

As much as i love both their voices, tarja was mezmerizing.

[092696800]

Dude!!! u should consider to upload it again in one video not separated ;)

[presbarkeep]

anette performs this song beautifully.,.. the whole band does :)

[k1ngac1k]

I love the whole Album DPP, but sry guys I cant stand Anettes voice (its killing me softly :( ), it sucks, , Thuomas music is awesome as usual :), but his songs were with Tarja 5x times better all the time, I loved Nightwish live performance, but not anymore especially when the singer starts singing.

[Imightbeagod666]

@k1ngac1k That's just like, your opinion man.

[k1ngac1k]

@Imightbeagod666 unfortunately it isnt just my opinion dude

[CousinDaveAK]

YOU GOT A DATE NEXT WEDNSDAY!

[TrekZero]

Really a Rock Song for Anettes Voice fits perfect to her.

[BNet4ever]

on like 3 parts, Anette yelled too much. She is meant to sing, not to yell 8[

a slight bit more volume to her voice wouldn't hurt anyone.

This song is still freaking awesome though.

[ChiangDong]

i actually dont like anette, i prefer tarja, but THIS is really awesome :O

[MikeBsMovies]

I used to looove this band. Then I realized their music is as cheesy as all hell. then I realized... wait a minute, I listen to fuckin' Rhapsody.

So now after a bit I've come to like them again. Especially with Anette. Hopefully they really make use of her different vocal style on the new one they got cookin'.

[psyclown666]

I like Anette, I don't blame her, she would be awesome in any other band, but as much as I try I dont feel her fitting into Nightwish, the soprano voice is lacking, and in this video, singing live... well, she doesn't do well, Tarja was so accurate in her singing. And moreover, listening the previous Nighwish songs in Anette's songs... well, I just don't like them. I hope Anette finds her proper band and Nightwish their proper singer.

[emil9412]

@psyclown666 well that's your opinion and i respect that... but just that u know, Anette is clearly a soprano, she's not a classical singer though. And when it comes to her live performances... then she became so much better in 2009, there she was amazing but i can agree that in 2007 and 2008 she wasn't great live all the time :P

[o0Benihime0o]

This song its EPIC like everything that Tuomas writes.. But the diference between Nightwish with Anette and Nightwish with Tarja is that everything that you listened on the CD Tarja could sing it LIVE and Nightwish was one of the few bands that sounded better live than on CD. I miss those times when Nightwish didn't need a backup singer or playback to sing what the actual singer just can't.

[NightwishFanGreece]

@o0Benihime0o What backup isnger and what playback? :S

[melta25]

i really would like to see NW preform this song with an actual orchestra

[tzalnar]

boy soprano ? i don`t know what album you were listening to dude :D it`s her. anette. it`s the same voice from the beginning. the one with empathica.. etc.

[TheFreezingMoon]

@tzalnar its a boy soprano

[antonsdefrancua]

@tzalnar It is boy soprano, I don't know this name.

Trust me. It wasn't Anette. :)

[samaranth15]

@tzalnar no a seven year old boy sings the begining cause tuomas had to edit some words to make it fit the boy its def not annette

[tzalnar]

During the Sparkle my scenery

With turquoise waterfall

With beauty underneath

The Ever Free

Why doesn`t she sing it in the high register like on the album ? does her voice hurt ?

[openmicsoundguy]

@tzalnar That wasn't her singing on the album - it was the boy soprano.

[Lupic95]

I liked the singin of Tarja best but she's also exellent

[lacrigoths]

this song is amazing..

[Emogal1991]

ok my bad they did do it live :P

[Emogal1991]

how come they never performed the escapist live?? thats an awesome song and Anette is awesome

[212gatita]

k aburrida voz k aburrido delo mismo no salen

neto

[yoelbravo]

Pues deverias escuchar otro cacion si no te gusta ..por a mi si me gusta la voz de anette@212gatita

[filipeabjvt]

she sings very well, let's give her a chance

[Rafiki27]

I would love to see a live performace with an orcastra and choir!

[emil9412]

@Rafiki27 that would be fucking awesome!! And the best thing is that htey will probably do it on their next tour! :)

[HBKHardyCOB4eva]

Anette is totally awsome here! love her singing. And this song is on of Nightwish best songs. Really a Masterpiece

[marialinkinpark10]

she's pathetic!

[Atkamon]

@marialinkinpark10 No, you are :)

[GrowingObsession]

The best Nighwish song yet.

[dpchiko17]

I think I am in love...

[kinslayer97]

i wish i could write so good lycris like tuomas !!

[Anime1Manga2Chibi3]

this is the best song nightwish ever made no matter what anyone says it's simply amazing

[yulisnake]

bueno realmente pero me hubiera gustado escuchar atarja

[TheMerinight]

finally, I like to hear the new songs with Anette much better than the older ones...

[dfblaze]

"The end"...

Jesus, I get goosebumps whenever I hear the beginning of the song.

[oscarFeb17]

This is NW at their best!!!! Epic song, powerful peformance. Tuomas found, yet again, the secret to composing great music and to assemble talented musicians, including Anette, so they can provide their own best.

[AaronHolopainen]

WHAT THE FUCK ALL OF U, IS THERE A VIDEO WITH NO COMMENTS OF TARJA ? SHE DECIDED TO WALK ALONE AND TO DIE ALIVE .. SHE WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS LIKE A HERO FOREVER, BUT NOW SHE'S GONE !! , GET IT...

[SuperArmySolider]

@AaronHolopainen why a hero lol xD

[Melissaamorx]

@AaronHolopainen

SHE DOESNT WALK ALONE AND SHE IS NOT DEAD FUCK U

[gorgonzae]

@Melissaamorx you stupid as a wall. these are the names of her songs you troll



[Melissaamorx]

@gorgonzae

Listen to me, I am one of the biggest nightwish/tarja fans ever existed. I know all their songs, lyrics, details in their music. I just wanted to make clear Tarja does not walk alone and she isn't dead. She is very alive in her music and has alot of fans. So stop offending me.

[Melissaamorx]

@gorgonzae

Just look at what he said. He claims tarja decided to walk alone and to die alive, and that she's gone. She's the opposite of that!

[Sakotoriel]

@AaronHolopainen AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

[lulupindol]

Tarja can sing just like on album, Anette little screaming on live

[geritassas]

anetteThe-is-awesome-but-tarja­-is-god

[NightwishFanGreece]

*.*

Anette is amazing, as usual!

Man, what an epic song!!! <3

NW for life :D

[TheEscapistNW]

She sounds amazing. Good for her!!!

[Uptheironsserbia666]

Assholes, Annete is amazing! And this is one of the best Nightwish songs!

[Noahpalm]

The Best of the Best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bonestorm99]

Too bad Anette didn't perform the singing in the beginning. Still, a good performance. What's this I hear about Anette being bad live??

[grimreaper11114]

@bonestorm99 for most songs anette is terrible live she changes parts of the song and makes it sound terrible if she could just sing it how it was on the album and stay away from tarja's songs which she butchers horribly she'd be good >_>

[bonestorm99]

@grimreaper11114 Really? Like how? And I'm not a fan of Tarja's music.

[grimreaper11114]

@bonestorm99 Search some of the other songs and you'll see what i mean she butchers most i've only heard her sing a few like sahara how they should be and she usually adds some lame hep hep hep shit in the middle of the song

[naki2]

hmm like the demo version (only marco singing) much better!!, her voice is just a notch to high for this song,

[onenew34te]

she sounds great, but oh how I wish it was Tarja :(

[litlemadguitarist]

A master piece! not many people who can wright shit like this!

[MrJabberzz]

why is this split into two videos? :(

[2yellowdaisies]

@MrJabberzz beause it is too long and youtube won't except anytning over 10 minuets

[MrNightwisher1]

Jukka <3

[guitarjedi312]

Lol I love Marco

[FutureMrsEmppuV]

What is the proper order of these Wacken 2008 videos?

[megamaidensabbath]

if you can write songs like this, then your a fricking musical genius

[agusrh]

I like the song but I prefer with Tarja.

[Jailabait]

@agusrh

Me to.

Tarja has a great voice, Annette is great, but you can't compare her with Tarja

[antonsdefrancua]

I love this video but sound is not good!

[towardstheshadows]

i still get goose bumps everytime i hear this

[EddieWouldG0]

i love tuomas' keyboard headbanging!!:)

[babatoa]

@EddieWouldG0

Who doesnt?

[frauenflugzeug]

Love that song!!!!!!! Perfect music......great voice....and I actually love Anette`s outfit this time. :)

[HBKHardyCOB4eva]

@frauenflugzeug I agree but those fight club gloves...

[HBKHardyCOB4eva]

@frauenflugzeug I agree, but that fight club glove...

[andrerochertek]

iOwn the DVD

[Patrickakadutchrange]

signing is not 100% accurate IMO.

good song though

[athinapainter]

perfect song perfect lyrics...not perfect singer

[cheyen123]

Wow, there must have been atmosphere !!

Great masterpiece.

[clemarochies]

MMMMM JUKKA!

[fixmixazterix]

I love the dri\umstick tricks. thogh it's no realy hard tricks it rely fits the beat:-p

[ChatDeLament]

AWESOME!

[gou2ras]

nightwish in wacken. great staff.

[Farfetnoogen]

Marco's introduction for the song was so odd... Not bad, just -- odd.

On a side note, is Jukka wearing a King Foo shirt? You can sort of see it @ 5:58 XP

[PrinceOfDahaka]

@Farfetnoogen i think he's on about the fact that its about toumas holopainen himself, he is the poet in the song. he also says that the album is the album that saved his life.

[akaboo69]

Annete is freaking hot and yes this is an epic song

[renatocp2]

She's got a good voice when not shouting... she ruins everything when shouting!

[akaboo69]

this may sound rude but i have always wodnerd how is some girls have a hard time sining high when there vocies are naturally high anyways

[Farfetnoogen]

@akaboo69 Don't worry, it's not rude. Some girls just have higher voices than others. If you're still in middle school/high school (if you're not, then forgive me for assuming that you are,) then it may seem like all girls have high voices, but as people get older, their voices change. So for some women, their voices become lower, therefore they have difficulty reaching the high notes.

I hope that made some sort of sense...

[akaboo69]

@Farfetnoogen  Actually I am 24 lol I was just wondering I had a female vocalist a while back who had a hard time singing high too lol what Boggels my mind are the guys with deep deep voices who can sing very high

[Farfetnoogen]

@akaboo69 "Actually I am 24 lol"

Oh, sorry!

[NIkitilla43]

Thanks, thanks for all Wacken videos!!!

I was here!!!

[purplewaves508]

they should have a music video for this song!!! that would be EPIC

[Silra123GoldrainCRN]

nightwish is the best bnd ever!!!!!!!

[ForsakenTheWeirdo]

Epic. I loved this song recorded, it's one of the few songs I think is better live than on the recordings. Long live Nightwish, weather it be with Anette or Tarja. <3

[darkis1201]

@ForsakenTheWeirdo

i always like live more than recordings, as you said, they are more epic *O*

[Santje1987]

Terrible ! No offence to tuomas his music, he's still one off the best songwriters of this time. But this song is missing Tarja's vocals, not that anette is a bad singer, this song seems written on tarja's capability not anettes

[Vladimast]

@Santje1987

thats funny because Annette is x100 better singer than the over vibratto using Tarja.

[VeryVery1]

frikirocker tienes razón, Tarja no es mazzospprano lírica, es soprano lírica, mi confusión se debe a que me parecía que Tarja puede cantar registros tanto graves y agudos, pero tiene una voz muuuuuuucho más académica que Annette, que también es soprano, pero no tienen tanta amplitud como para cantar música clásica, aunque con práctica podría alcanzar registros más altos

[VeryVery1]

esta canción es un obra de arte, y Annette no es que cante mal de hecho la voz es dulce y bonita, simplemente no es una copia de Tarja, que era mucho más impactante porque era mezzosoprano lírica, en cambio Annette es una soprano y sinceramente creo que ella es buena, pero no para Nightwish porque sus composiciones son para una mezzosoprano. No es culpa de ella, simplemente fue una mala decisión :/ Las canciones no se escuchan igual

[frikirocker7]

Tarja no es mezzosoprano eh?

[Konan416]

this is the best song from DPP

anette does a very good job, marco is an excelent singer so i won't talk about him, and the lyrics tuomas wrote are just awesome. This song is breath taking, a truly masterpice

[wizmp]

Sooo true

[ONeill943]

yeah man

[Lusomaster]

Beautifil^^

[ToastOfFear]

Is she really singing the intro!?

[Kahn2580]

No:D

[Jordan999919]

I love Anette but please just move her to backup and make Marco the lead singer.. He's like, a fucking god.

[missmetal47]

sooooooooo true

[bunniescankill]

listen to Tarot. Marco is the lead singer for that one

[jhfilms1]

this is very good live i am just dissapointed that they dont have the soprano boys sining with anette at 5.28 (like on the album) , i think it would sound better evan if it was a recording of them

[manumadmar]

this song is a masterpiece

[SGRezca]

Indeed. This truly has to be one of their most epic songs yet.

[Jordan999919]

Marco Hietala is amazing..

[StarkMessanger]

How do they play those instruments during the strobe lights? I'd get seizures!

[TheRealVolanaro]

yeah nightwish do have a bit of a reputation for incredible lighting displays

[Lusomaster]

This song is great!

[NightWishOwning]

I love Both Tarja And Anette.

[kzuchowski]

Who comes back from the dead? lol

[TheB1gEd]

this is not a bad song, but this is by far not their best song! I guess their best song ever has to be She is my sin, Ever Dream or Planet Hell, cant decide :>

However the intro is amazing, but i doubt that anette sang that live!

[K4tic]

lol?

[TheB1gEd]

aha and what are you trying to say with "lol?" ? you think this is their best song?

[K4tic]

Well you said "this is by far not their best song" which IMO is a little too harsh, if this isn't their best then it is pretty close. To each their own opinion though. 90% of Nightwish's songs are incredible, so I can understand what you mean. =]

[liveforlife2494]

Actually, she is singing it live. If you listen closely, there are some subtle differences between her singing here and in the studio recording. Like "withOUT", "torn (breath) apart", and "STILL the SAME old song" and her

[Ruroino]

yeah....singing live is much different than singing in a studio....assuming this wasnt the first song in the set list, Anette is probably tired by now, so its harder to keep air in her lungs....no bands ever replicate a song live 100% but that's the beauty of it....besides imagine singing an exact clone of the song all the time. It must get pretty boring.

[Ruroino]

and i just realized you were responding to someone who said she was synching...disregard the last comment...

[Lucxarrr]

Una de las mejores canciones de Nightwish!!!

[wizmp]

By the way does anyone know if Tuomas and Tarja is still friends?

[florynj]

they are, i know them:D

[hippie778]

Nope. Nightwish got rid of her cause they thought she was a diva...they hate her. Hence all the songs on this album pretty much are being mean to her. Tuomas loved her, she married someone else. All the love songs where about him loving her. Just read the lyrics. (I should say most are)

[liveforlife2494]

Just wondering, isn't the statement that Tuomas was in love with Tarja just a theory? I've never heard any kind of%
