Nightwish Elvenpath Live

[jnielsen90]

Kick ass tune!!

[mikewill9511]

@Metalornothing1 I agree. I love ALL of their Cds, though.

[jnielsen90]

Tarja in a single word......FLAWLESS!!

[kiks740]

I was 7 in 2002, this was in 2002 and I was 7 :(((

[Metalornothing1]

Angels Fall First, Oceanborn and WIshmaster... THAT was Nightwish... the vocalist change had nothing to do with it.

[LOTRLEGOLASFAN88]

This is the first song I ever heard cuz I'm a die-hard fan of LOTR. It's beautiful.

[Nemsault]

Man everything sucks now. Everything. "Makes my soul long for the past" yes it does.

[EvitaLovely]

I just love the lyrics <3

[FanOfUlrich]

when is this??



[cvstiana]

@FanOfUlrich 2002

[DarkExecutor]

@cvstiana wrong, this was in 2000. Anyway, this were the times when Nightwish was magical, now they are just another powermetal band. I miss this NW so freaking much

[Nighwish13]

I miss her in Nightwish, I miss her voice... she's the angel of music, she's fantastic**

[emiblindside]

tarja is the best

[ANDOUTLOVE]

una cosa es cierta sin tarja no se transmite ese poder k tienen tokando en vivo annete tiene buena voz mas se sienten tan planas sus interpretaciones k lastima ,,,,,,............a seguir recordando los buenos tiempos

[chris10023465]

@1KerryKing go suck a dick justin beiber fan

[reklaminis]

this song's drum sound made me want to learn playing double base pedal

[LucianaPuma]

they are not the best band of the world anymore. What a shame.

[xeirocool]

Oh Shnap ... I just got goosebumps.. go Tarja

[AleksanteriK]

2 personnes n'ont jamais pris le chemin des elfes...

[XCnidaria]

Never heard a better live performance!

[HigherHigh90]

Tarja, I miss you =/

[HawleyChanna]

Anette sounds good :) I mean she has really improved, espcially on her hight notes :)

[12321marianne]

@HawleyChanna

Sorry, leaving the fact that you are wrong, who tosses an emoticon every second cannot be taken seriously.

Most people praising Anette use the same phrasing. I suppose they attend the same kindergarden.

[HawleyChanna]

@12321marianne Well I am sorry that my positive comment has offended you. I will further go on to state that I will no longer use emoticons, seeing as I really care what assholes like you think.

Yes, she isnt as good as Tarja, and no she really hasnt had the best live performances but she is improving and that is great. Tarja isnt here, it's Annette. Tarja has been gone for YEARS. Therefore I fail to see how it is me, rather than those who will not move on, that is immature.

[12321marianne]

@HawleyChanna

Tarja is still here. It just depends how you define "here".

I enjoy good music music and I go to Tarja's concerts. Rock, classical, whatever.

So for me she is "here" because I am "there" where she performs.

The problem is that you remained "there" with Nightwish, and keep deluding that Anette is not that bad, that Tuomas still has the magic, and the boys are what they were.

Neither are true imho, sorry.

PS: my remark was a honest but harsh observation, I appologise.

[JamesCrow22]

I would like to relax in an elven bath with elven women :p

[Excrucius]

@JamesCrow22 hell yeah me too ;D

[heartflowergirl]

Tuomas looks so happy in this video <3 <3

[green0451]

@heartflowergirl

Of course he is happy! This is buck to the old nice days when Nightwish where still a young group enjoying theyr freedom! Of course they are still a great band but all this fame, money and glory changed them. They create amazing music but angels fall first is my favourite period of them because they where different...

[emil9412]

@green0451 hmm... i have to say i agrre with though i still consider them to be a "special" band =)

[green0451]

@emil9412

Yes, of course they are still special.

[green0451]

In my opinion "Angels fall first" is the best Nightwish album...Great.

[Visionsdreams]

i remember watching this everyday after school when i was a child , bring back good memories.

[Gabraal27]

i can't find this dvd to buy ANYWHERE in my country!

AAAAAHHHH! I fucking need it LOL :P

[LordAkashic]

epic ever!!!

[rentao89]

anetty try to sing this one i hope u can sing like thissss

or

try your own cover this one if u make it you are the true nightwish new singer

[VayleGW]

@Iggy82xl i mean this:

Long ago,

In the early years of the second age,

The great elven-smiths forged the Rings of Power.

But then the dark lord learned the craft of ring-making,

And made the Master Ring.

[VayleGW]

why does this song reminds me to lord of the rings?

[Iggy82xl]

@VayleGW

You mean Hobbit?

[DNAngelous]

It's amazing song for nightwish

[FallenElentari]

I must admit this was Art, it's impossible to compare it to what they're doing now.

[YehezqueLNox]

Tarja looks kickass. Marco wasn't in the band yet...

[Morgem22]

@YehezqueLNox I think he was.. You just dont see him much

[petramarecova]

Tarja si the best !

[green0451]

Just bring buck Tarja already...I want to listen "the poet and the pendulum" from Tarja so much...

[GonNightwisher]

2 persons don't found the elvenpath! ;)

[linkinn18]

I wish they could play more songs from their 2 first records live....but of course now the cant -.-''

[linkinn18]

I wish they could play some songs from Angels Fall First on their next tour.

But they will not, Anette cant sing some songs

[MrMikowolf]

I love

J'adore

<3

[Eliiz696]

if u want take some time to watch my singing cover of the same song in my own channel.Thank u!

Kristi xxx

[DarkAngel593fr]

Absolutely excellent!!! \m/

[imtolazytothinkofone]

[havuch]

Best Nw performance ever.

[tysken94]

am iwrong or does finnish accent sound a bit like russian accent though the languages are so different???

[firestar124]

Lmfao a Emppu lipsyncing @ 2:17

[runawayflyaway]

@firestar124 me too . : D

[starbreez3]

This is Elvenbath!

[Petzy2807]

<3 <3 <3

[chopantura]

she looks like an angel here

[runawayflyaway]

@chopantura no, she IS an angel !

[HeLL12aiseR]

this is 1 of my favorite Nightwish songs of all time, if not the most favorite! it combines the best elements of Nightwish, Tarja's magnificent voice(and unsuppressed like in later albums), Tuomas' creative song writing(unlike his latest work, which he dumbed down a lot) and bringing their emotions into the performance(as opposed to Nightwish's new very bland style).

great song, great live performance, the perfect example of why we loved Nightwish so much and what we're now missing in the new.

[mikewill9511]

@HeLL12aiseR Excuse me but NW is still as strong, and for me they have evolved. All bands have to do that. Therion does it all the time. If they stick with operatics they are going to become boring in time. Dont get me wrong, I love the old NW but the new one is just as beautiful.

[HeLL12aiseR]

@mikewill9511 don't know about you but real Operas don't "get boring" nor do they change the way they perform. don't know about you but great bands like The Beatles, Queen, etc didn't make any *drastic* changes, nor did they ever become "boring". you want to call it an evolution, fine, but please for the love of god don't compare the old NW with the new 1, as they're so far apart they're not even comparable. yes, it was "only" the lead vocals that changed, but she was their heart.

[mikewill9511]

@HeLL12aiseR They still use operatics in their albums, just not in the leading vocals. Adn yes, they didnt do drastic things- the bands you mentioned- and they didnt become boring, for the fact that they could easily incorporate different styles in their music and change throughout albums. Therion- the excellent example of a true symphonic metal band- shows that the heart of a band isn't changed with the dismissal of a member.

PS: Tuomas is the heart now.

[HeLL12aiseR]

@mikewill9511 Not all bands have to do that. The really great bands didn't change members at all. The Beatles broke up after Lennon's death, Queen didn't go on after Mercury's death, etc. Sure, some bands do change members after a tragic death, like Metallica after Cliff's death, but that happened very early in their careers, after just 1 album with Cliff. Metallica's later changes were part of Metallica's deterioration.

[LovingLife411]

I think when the band first started it was easier for her to hit all the right notes and everything. Back then she didn't overwork her voice like she tends to now...

[mikewill9511]

@LovingLife411 I agree. She sucks now. 

[maidenfans]

when nightwish write their best songs....



[yasahiro86]

This is true colour of NightWish \m/'

[runawayflyaway]

elvenpath is the best song from angels fall first !

[zozoka88]

Nagyon jó a klipp :) mindenkinek csak ajánlani tudom! Zoli

[linkinn18]

EPIC!!!

[CountdeCavalcanti]

Vocals 10/10 Keyboards 9/10 Guitar 8/10 Rhythm section 8/10

COMMENTARY: Turunen's virtuoso operatic vocal interpretation of keyboard maestro Holopainen's idiosyncratic, musical composition is aurally orgasmic. Supported by a rock solid rhythm section and Emppu's maidenesque guitar exploits the end result is Wagnerian in sound as well as quality leaving the listener yearning for more. In the list of songs that advanced the boundaries of music "Elvenpath" deserves a place somewhere in the top 10!

[Mullukullu]

REUNION!!!!!

[EvilLittleMonsterMe]

@Mullukullu No, Marco is way better than Sammi!

[runawayflyaway]

@EvilLittleMonsterMe I agree. Marco's voice is so strong and wonderful and with Tarja's vocal it was beautiful. But if it's going about guitar I think Marco is better, too. Thank God for Emppu in Nightwish. I never mind anyone else at his place. : - )

[Jameila93]

i love this song, i love Nightwish

[KTandTony]

Shes a good dancer!:O

[athinapainter]

i want to walk on the elvenpath!!!

this song describes all i am!!!

[GrowingObsession]

LMAO tarja at the beginning: THEES EES ELVENPATH XD no kidding LOL

[Kiewicz92]

tarja is so fucking hot damn :D <3

[guiessence]

this song look like LOD

[LOTRLEGOLASFAN88]

I like the recording better no offense to any one who doesn't

[Whackooyzero]

Why was this guy thumbs down 7 times? Because he preferred the original recording?

[tailsthefox241194]

ELVENBATH!!!!

[LunaRussa]

great:)my favourite from this concert. songs from their first album have some special feel of pure enthusiasm about them)

[DeadSleepingSun]

those were the times

[Bexrt]

yeah yeah....tuomas is genius...his music is amazing...but, tarja`s voice has made it epic... anette isn`t as good as her...she cannot sing some songs...:/ (a lot of them :D)

I miss Tarja`s voice in NW...:/

[josan2964]

@Bexrt What you fail to understand is that Tarja was sad to go, but it was better for her. Her career took a turn for the better after she left NW. She can take care of her family now, and focus on her solo career. Nightwish deserves better, but Anette really isn't that bad. She's graceful and very attractive c:

[Thesmalville17]

Nightwish live ROCKS with Tarja, shes voice rocks everything ,nightwish live without it isnt so good anymore,but still nice band :) nw <3

[gladiatrixangel]

Tuomas and Tarja are the fricking most amazing people EVER!!!!!!

[Joohnyboy94]

omg... why they had to fall apart.... fucking solo carriers....They rulled back there sometimes.

[swordmasterKirby1]

Tarja gave them more of a opra sound which kicked ass and got me into there music.........................­......but Anette gives them a more pop rock sound i think execpt 4 like 2 songs with her on the first album with her

[Kahn2580]

aNETTE IS SHIT TARJA IS QUEEN YOU IDIOTS

[jokatakra]

Nightwish without Tarja is not Nightwish

[DaughterOfVampire]

I disagree Nightwish without Toumas isn't Nightwish. Tarja is an excellent singer but without the lyrics wrote for her, you wouldn't know her. Toumas <3

[Hekatara]

I totally agree with you!

[BeJazzledNotDazzled]

definately.they were 10 times better with Tarja but they are still Nightwish even now.

[DaughterOfVampire]

Yepp they are, I love them (: Toumas is the awesome ^^

[inukikyo89]

I disagree with you. Each person contributed to making Nightwish what it was, and if you take one of them away, it's no longer Nightwish.

[CKY66]

I love Tarja, but I also love Anette. I think that they must have had a great reason to get rid of a singer like this.

But I think Anette sounds awesome too. It's just different, but amazing just the same

[xXevelOnXx]

they didn't "get rid" of her, Tarja announced over two years before that she will leave Nightwish, Tarja was very bad treated in the whole "Nightwish leaving" thing.

[CKY66]

They did get rid of her. She announced that she would be leaving, but the decided to fire her from the band before she quite so they could move on. She was still going to be a part of the band for a few albums yet, according to some interviews and stuff I've seen.

[darkcarolineriddle]

@CKY66 I miss Tarja a lot, but I agree with you, Anette sounds awesome too in her own way, I like the dark passion play album. But with the songs that have been written for her to sing. She just can't sing tarja's songs, they are from another world. But of course, I understand that in a concert to hear only songs from DPP would be frustrating. XD I don't know what's worst, her not doing it, or her doing it.

[nightwishworshipper1]

whenever I hear nightwish a tingle comes over me from astonishment of how godlike they are

nightwish forever!!!!!!!!

[LadyofMetal16]

This is REAL MUSIC man.

[avatarxv666]

i miss tarja in the band, nightwish is not the same without her!! : (

[zixossto]

agreed, im admitting that the new singer is good but still like this nightwish better

[mlevites]

oh...this was back when Tarja actually moved on stage, instead of just standing there and swaying...

[djonas79]

I can't stop listening this wonderful song.

[morgul7070]

I'm just happy that Tarja is not another Emo singer.

[Andreecals]

it´s just sad what happened...

I´m with Nightwish forever, but Tarja was a real deep loss...

[XxxmariacullenxxX]

is this from a dvd or something??

[cvstiana]

dvd...from wishes to eternity...

[lukacool007]

@XxxmariacullenxxX

[Markuudo]

Tarja and Nightwish had some kind of mystical connection, it was a perfect match. Since Tarja is gone it seems Nighwish is dead...

[mariaepbj]

but tarja is not her music is amazing

[decuyus]

T____T only Tarja can do it!

[W7Legato]

WE MISS TARJA!!!

[eqm1]

Tarja is so bad-ass....Amaaazing performance. I love them.

[starbreez3]

Tarja gave Nightwish so much of her... now that she's gone Nightwish is dead.

[lalruang]

yes you fucking love, I love Tarja

[jessica15lp]

I agree with you

[CKY66]

Nightwish is pretty fantastic live, aren't they?

[gladiatrixangel]

gorgeous song!! sorry, but annette could never pull this one off.

[kagomemiko39]

I LOVE U TARJA !!!

NIGHTWISH RULZ!!

[TwilightAronXD]

The intro voice (Tarja's voice?) sounds like it says ElvenBATH ^^

[keinmensch90]

nice song..and nice lyrics btw ^^

[candlenight88]

swsth!!!! swsth!!! :)

[dgrule]

Maybe there is some truth in what was in that letter to tarja and maybe some of it was made up whatever but really annoyed/annoys me about it is the way in which she was fired surely there are better ways in doing that than an open letter after a sold out concert??

[ChristopherRodrigues]

how about all the other sold out concerts which were then cancelled because she couldn't or didn't want to be a part of, either because the venue was too small or her share wouldn't be worthwhile? Though you're right that it was very abrupt and unexpected, but I trust Tuomas' judgment.

[dgrule]

ok fair enough i didnt know that they had to cancel shows for that reason. also from something that i read she was planing on leaving the band in the december of that year anyway.

[Fallen4eva]

You have to understand that She and Tuomas had a 'special' relationship. He said the moment she told him she could walk out on them whenever she wants because she can, then you have to understand how betrayed he felt. She basically put herself above him, their friendship, and the band. And then of course, after one gets betrayed, one can react in a very angry and irrational manner, just as he did.

[lightlicht]

wow Tarja was definitely better in that band

[nevebzzz]

really great song!!!bravo cvstiana!!!!

[elfe1601]

Ja das! und nur so !ist oder besser war Nightwish! enfach genail!

[NIKOS31OSFP]

great great!!!!!!!!!!!!

[horsiiik]

Oh, I love this song live:-) Tarja is great singer, I love her.

Which concert is this song from? Is it from "From Wishes to Eternity"?

[cvstiana]

yes it is :)

[L4wl13th]

I don't really wanna read ANYTHING written by Tuomas ...

if he wants to look like a victim in all this just to keep some fans ...

I don't care ...

But I don't wanna read all his crap ...

He's just a "Selfish Primma Donna" =)

JA!

Dew~

[Tarjike]

I have the book..There are no new information contained.

[SinusRoris]

my fav nightwish song

[alixiawhisper]

This is one of the best songs of nightwish, if it isn't already the best, because there's so many, somebody would tell me the name of the concert to download it from torrent ?? please

[cvstiana]

its from their dvd from wishes to eternity...

[issachristina]

esta es la primera y una de las mejores canciones de Nightwish!!

[SinusRoris]

so what do you understand by "being able to sing" ??

[sedgley1]

This is real Nightwish what a fantastic voice Nightwish without Tarja is just not right

[PrussianWarrior]

Excelent performance.

[0girlpoet0]

una cancion k no se olvida....

ni ninguna d ste co concierto s la raja

lo tngo completo y cada vez k kiero scuxar d lo bueno lo coloco a too tarro jajajaj

viva nightwish n su epoca d tarja jajaja (sk nadie puede negar k l daba un sello hasta mas atractivo musicalmente al cual tienen ahora)

[theorem17]

This song is so AMAZINGLY COOL!!!!!

Tarja, please return to

save this band with your INCREDIBLE voice!!!!!!!!!!

Tell Anette to go sing with

brittney spears.

[cvstiana]

hm...a 16 year old person who listens to amy lee will judge us?lol...

[IncuboGaby]

"hm...a 16 year old person who listens to amy lee will judge us?lol..."

Ooh real mature.

For your information, I am a big fan of Nightwish and Tarja's solo project. I think people should quit the Anette bashing and get over it, whats done is done.

and btw, f*ck you, Evanescence rock.

[cvstiana]

yeah indeed...they r fine for little girls.

[IncuboGaby]

oooh someone didn't like what I said. ha ha.

A piece of advice:Get a life.

You are ovbiously what is called 'bitter' about Tarja's dissmissal and so you have childlishly resorted to calling people who are younger than you 'little girls'.

Good one.

[cvstiana]

r u crazy or what?

[doesntmatter01]

you r such a lil girl and stupid girl if u like evanescence.. then i wouldnt b surprised if u liked britney spears.

[IncuboGaby]

What? Seriously? Why the hell am I getting so much abuse? I love Nightwish and I love Tarja. I just told someone to shut up when they were bitching about Anette. Big deal, I like Evanescence, but I didn't bring that up, someone else did.

[lightlicht]

whats wrong with evanescence? fuck britney she doesnt belong here.

[L4wl13th]

GET OVER IT, TELL Nettie "Sing the phantom of the opera"

Clue : she can't

why : she doesn't even know what a note and vibrato (among A LOT OF THINGS) is, so, she can only scream ...

and amy lee .....

I don't want to speak about that, you call that "singer"?

Ummh, no, that ...

Dew~

[OceanbornAngel]

You really should listen to alot more old pre-label Evanescence. Amy Lee sounds so different.

[forsakenprogeny]

Odd that you should say that, because Tarja was dismissed for behaving like Britney Spears and choosing money over her fans. Read the official biography if you don't believe me.

[koulards]

this song is the best!!!!!!!!!!

[Tarjike]

How can one be only so incredibly great?

I love Tarja, she must be an angel. It is a great pity ones that Tuomas could not accept her love. But hey, live has to go on and Tarja is a wonderful solo singer and she will get it also alone! However, to Nightwish I say nothing.. Anette is such a cheap substitute.. horrible!
