Tristania - 03 - Mercyside @ Wacken 2009

[Hippydude777]

I believe in some senses Mary is better than vibeke in some parts. Sure she shouldn't touch shining path and beyond the veil but songs like these sound better because her voice is so much richer and powerful in the right moments. Vibeke was a soubette suprano and had a very light airy and angelic voice but it was easily drowned out in instances, Mary is a dramatic mezzo who has her uses. Lets see Vibeke try and pull off protection, amnesia or sirens with the same strength and emotion.

[gustaventura]

The female guitarist is beatiful!

[intranick]

i dont understand why people come to a video and watch a band play and then complain... its like a crying contest on here... lets see who can cry harder!

[handofxsorrow]

Morten Veland is overrated. Tristania was at it's best after he left, while Vibeke was still in the band.

[Amsanc]

tbh, I really don't mind Rubicon, neither these new singers, The problem is when they start singing the old material. 

[filth69ify1]

I think the female guitarist is more beautiful than the singer. I love this song and they performed it well. Tristania Forever.

[chloboshoka]

Pisstania <3 

[trebacio]

Wacken's 2009 performance was not good at all.

Apart from this, the goth-looking and detailed kind of music they record on CD's are not the suitable ones to play on open-air and daylighted festivals like this.

I like almost all the albums (from Widow's Weeds to Rubicon), but not how they play live.

[chloboshoka]

Pisstania should stop copying Nightwish and should stop making dreadful Tristania covers.

[damnedxdivine]

I really hate how the bald dude thinks he has the right to sing in female parts like he did in the chorus and in World of Glass.

[CahhMan5on]

Que Saudadeee da Vibekeeee

Meow

:(

Podia Mudar o Nome Para Tristeza

[MrVolokine]

Nah,even though i like her voice she is still painful to hear on old songs.

[SirenOfTheSeas]

Vibeke left 3 years ago, and we're still not over it? Everybody is so fucking whiny. Mary is no Vibeke, but she brings her charm and style into the band. If you don't like it, GTFO.

[agominator]

@SirenOfTheSeas same as Nihgtwish, those who dont like Annette and Mariangela, just why od they hear songs with them????. Mary´s got the heavy touch.

[MsCorpes]

GOOD!!! RULES MARY...

[HigherHigh90]

Que lixo ... ele parece que tá com uma batata quente na boca !!

Horrível ... detestei .

[AstarealRomance]

they are progressing more towards the gathering, look and sound wise

[TheSevenkiller]

the new morten veland's project kicks ass, it's named Mortemia

[all1813]

WTF??????? are they so unsure about marys voice that they dont let her sing the femele solo parts alone??? juesus i dont know im staring to dislike it!!!!!!!!!!!

[aliveblackdevil]

destruction of mercyside !!!

[Libal1731]

WTF ¬¬

where is the real tristania??? what is thissssss????

MARY sucks..!!!

Kjetil is ok..!!! but Mary really suckss..!!!

[Libal1731]

wtf is thiss ¬¬

[acidkomodo]

They're no longer gothic band..

[snajamh]

Tristania is just not the same anymore without Vibeke this new singer lacks gothic attitude and emotions, they better come up with a really kickass new album or else they are in deep shit

[thehornedviper]

The bald guy can't sing his part properly, and this woman sounds like a jazz singer who's waiting for someone among the audience to figure out she's not supposed to be singing in this band.

They could have at least had the common sense to form a new band, since this is DEFINITELY NOT Tristania.

[TwilightAronXD]

They need some HUGE songs like they used to have...

[VampireXDi]

huh wheres osten??

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

.__. caring his twins and gf.

[VampireXDi]

ohh ok

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

^^ no prob (but guess people is wondering when he's back D=)

[MsCatacumba1]

k paso con tristania?, solia ser una banda de culto, espere tanto verlos en mi pais, y cuando al fin vienen, me dan ganas de pedir mi dinero de vuelta

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

something good about the tristania's change? ---"tristania" --- ....the sexy woman in the guitar there.

[maibrazilian]

Pera aí, aquele cara queria fazer um gutural? Credo...Mais parece uma banda cover do Tristania. A Mary até que é boa. Mas esse show não foi um dos melhores.

[2xAdam]

Stop Whining! You people live in the past!....They are a progressive band, have been and always will be. It's all about diversity...If you hate Mary Whatever! Go listen to one of their other 6 albums and Shut the F' up! I like their old music but ya know what? I LOVE their new music! LONG LIVE TRISTANIA!

[dunkelblau2006]

Being open-minded is a virtue. But there are two FACTS that bother me

1)Mary's range (how many pitches she can generate) is smaller than Vibeke's, therefore the songs are changed dramatically to adjust her range.

2)The new sound of their songs (and arrangements done to the old songs) follow MAINSTREAM tendencies.

Like you said they were all about change, but not towards Mainstream. Mainstream tend to be what most people like so its no surprise that some people like their new sound.

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

1) It is not about range, she is lacking technique but since she didn't study i am not gonna say a lot, i just need to add she is just hurting herself 'coz she is singing in the incorrect 'place'.

2) ...they suck -_- for me the other ones were not just better but more 'sale-able'.

[espam2002]

Not surprising considering your shitty taste in music.

[2xAdam]

@espam2002 Good one! You close minded fuck! Who the fuck are you anyways? Your obviously pretty insecure if you're putting your age at 109! And anyone with the word spam in thier screen name without putting something derogatory before or after it should go bl*w their f*cking br*ins out! Seriously pussy, talk some more shit... I'm just getting started! PS. MARY ALL THE WAY BABY! FUCK YEAH!

[espam2002]

No Adam, that's "Espam"; consider learning a second (or first?) language some day.

You state that the band is progressive, which is fine, however that contradicts what's presented in their performance of a new song: a mediocre high school band performing of a typical and poorly written 'rock song.' Fans come to a band for what they've done. To change that going forward is self-defeating (as will be proven).

Anyway, you're clearly only willing to debate issues other than the music, so ta.

[alfredo4059]

Pinche gordo de mierda, en verdad atrofía toda la rola, que decir de Mariangela, simplemente extraordinaria en la voz y en la imagen, una mujer muy bella. Pero ese gordo es una basura, tristemente la fuerza y la brutalidad de tristania como banda se han perdido.

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

Totalmente en contra, para mí es Kjetil el que hace un trabajo decente; Mary está totalmente fuera.

[jackborsatti]

Tristania, Tristania...why did you fade away? Where are gone your Gothic emotions?

[CrsTTn92]

There is a bird on the head of Mary or is just her hair :S

[Madragon32167]

This is not Tristania... ='(

[darkis1201]

i miss...

Tristania (cuz i'm not sure what this is)

vibeke's voice

vibeke's dance

the magic of their music

and so on

[darkis1201]

tiene buena voz, pero pierde la magia... me alegro que el album fue grabado antes de la salida de vibeke...

en fin, ahora la veremos para el prox album... tal vez? xD

[heavyseba]

esto no es tristania... es tristenia!!!!!!!!!

[aliveblackdevil]

i think this gus must change the name of band

this is not tristania wheres osten

where are u vibeke !!

[Libal1731]

where is Ostenn?????? oh my god.. dont tell me he leaves the band too pleasee!!

[jackborsatti]

He has nomore hair and long beard?

[Vallenttine]

Osten didn´t leave the band but he becomes father with twins so Kjetil substitutes him for live shows only.

[irongirl6666]

@ userneime, no - mary is not entire band but she ruins the band...

[damiendoom]

@ userneime....

Totally agree with you!

[irongirl6666]

Kjetil is good but I miss Østen's voice in this song.

[OrmirKjetilson]

Kjetil is great, but isent he just a step in while the real one is away cause of his new born twins

[userneime]

As you can see, most people which complain about the formation has "nightwish" on the username, they watched too much mtv and now they think the female singer is the entire band and keep wining about how good the former one was, but people doesnt seem to remember that tristania never had a permanent formation and that mary is NOT the entire band, and who is morten anyways? what albums was he part of? people seems to forget about the music and worries to much about their "divas" to worship

[l4r13n]

i'm agree with you

[dungeonofdarkness]

if you don't know who Morten Veland is and/or what albums he was part of, you don't know shit about the TRUE Tristania, he wrote all the classic songs of Tristania

let's see if this band on stage under the name of Tristania can top the masterpiece that Morten Veland has written

Yes, I do like Nightwish, but I'm also fully aware that the lead vocalist is not the entire band. If anyone is the structure of that band, it is Tuomas Holopaine

[Dakedoom]

@dungeonofdarkness why don't you just go and suck Morten's dick dry?

[intranick]

@dungeonofdarkness who gives a shit if they still use the name Tristania -- Tristania has evolved. just because Morten wanted to go do things his way -- doesnt mean that these guys have to leave Tristania, its name, and its music behind. If you want Morten, go listen to Sirenia -- that is, done his way, written by him, (practically) performed by him, and leave those of us who like Tristania the way it is now alone.

[hermanessences]

Kjetil seems to have a hard time hitting the low notes, I can't say I blame him though, Østen goes ridiculously low in songs like this one, and Equilibrium for example.

[AstarealRomance]

the girl guitarist has no stage presence lol and olaf has a great voice but he should scream he sucks at it xD

[AstarealRomance]

i mean kjetil

[hellcetchup]

this is SOOOO MUCH BETTER than the year before, great progress!

[Nitramcel]

WTF!!!!

Que pedos con ese tipo gordo, bien chingon el y la voz mas espantosa que e oido... (God!!!)

Sobre Mary, nada que decir, simplemente es excelente como se ve y como canta...

Amm quien es la guitarrista, no sabia que habia guitarra femenina, no se ve mal...

[blackMesmer]

Well said. \m/

[alejonightwish]

This is one of my favourite Tristania songs, but this band doesn't seem the real Tristania any longer.

[joseinferno]

Dios, que mal suena, el gordo nisiquiera puede llegar alas notas, la parte donde debe meter voz gutural, le sale voz de niña, hay que aceptarlo, aqui mary se esfuerza, feo no le sale, pero el gordo lo jode. se mete en su parte, que terrible, y el guittarrista a todo esto no dice nada ?

deberia botarlo, que nunca mas cante con ellos, han bajado las notas de guitarra se han dado cuenta ?

2:45 en la parte inferior central hay tres tipos que en todo el concierto de tristania les vale gorro

[LasgalenOsten]

Wow, male singer is shit, wtf is he doing? that's def not singing. Of course, female singer is not better at all. RIP VIBEKE AND OSTEN.

[sayonaralosen]

And Morten

[lilithnightmare89]

a ese maldito gordo lo odio!!!!!!!!!!

i hate!! to kjetil q se calle cuando no debe de cantar!! arruina la cancion y supongo q mary andara molesta por eso ¬¬

[Marineerib]

Well all due respect, previous poster, but Mary appears to have a lot more vocal talent than Cristina Scabbia.

And for the one who wondered, where is Tristania - bands change. Their music change. you would not play the same music over and over again some 10 years, right?

[retinueofmoons]

now they are very similar to lacuna coil or something like that...i prefer the kind of singer of the old singer....the new singer is like a copy of cristina scabbia, but she's a good singer too

[BlackIndra]

At 1:26, Kjetil suffers to reach the low note of the song... Well, at least there's hope Osten to come back when his children are grown up a little.

[areyouqq]

is kjetil back in the band?

amazing performance btw!

[hissingatrocity]

ooook!!! THIS is very fucking good!

[Josecarabarin]

where can i download this concert?

[BodomBlastBeats]

3,56 theres a mistake :D

[CrsTTn92]

Hey where is tristania?

It seems like another band

[all1813]

not the best preformance of this song... there better than this

[musikmood]

wow, this a new tristania mmm U.U it's rare

[felima999]

Is there Kenneth on the drums?

[Charism8]

No.

[krzaq777]

Holy shit Kjetil is like clon of Osten - sometimes even better! Good choice!

Greetings for Osten and his expected family!

[SirenianNightfall]

I agree, but wish he didn't have to back up Mary all the time, it's like she hardly sings anymore :(

[astrape]

Yes Kjetil even better that Osten
