Nightwish Escapist march 15th Netherlands

[Orbit620]

but what was so amazing about this show in Ahoy was the verby big synthersizer break in the middle and large before and after songs synths.And the whole senesthesia show. So when there was bang bang in the sound there would be firework. And when there was mysterious etheral music we got shiny silver confetty from the sealing. And so on. mindblowing that synth. She didnt sing every song, it was more about synth and LOTR like sounds like hoves of horses running from left to right stereo soundeff.

[krossnik]

both singers are excellent! but each singer for songs they were written for....

[perkele181]

and that also makes tarja a weak woman and anette a pretty strong one and i like anette more than tarja and hope she stays in nightwish fore a fucking long time and makes the guys in nightwish too stay in good mood and not angry like i think tarja got them ! support new nightwish and forget the old era and welcome the new one ! i dont think there last dvd with tarja was named end of an era with out a reason !

[perkele181]

i think the nightwish boys did a great choice when they select anette too be there new vocalist and they also seems more happier with here around the door step then with tarja and the only ting tarja had was here voice but anette got both personalty and voice that she sings great with ! and also anette is a girl who says what she means that i think tarja was too shy too do but she let here meanings go througe here husband and not herself !

[salt27dogg]

People say how Annette cant sing Tarja's songs. Can anyone picture Tarja singing Escapist? Poet? Amaranth? I cant

[jennythemusicmaker]

@salt27dogg And the funniest thing is that the DPP songs weren't originally written for Anette's voice either. xD

[majomanak]

@salt27dogg but Meadow Heaven I can.......Begining i like more with Anette but on the end when it is Graduated Tarja would be bettter.

[thunderdx]

great voice Anette..i like this new formula

[RockSidi]

This is an awesome performance by Nightwish!

[wernerforce]

I was there with my 11yr old daughter and we had a great time.Pain also kicked ass.

P.s please stop compare Tarja And Anette they are both great,this is the choice of the nightwish guys!!

[18VanHelsing18]

i was there too xP and i'm 12 xD and i love the huge anchor in the bg

[nighthorseman85]

Grats! Great parenting :)

[Zydratezombie]

anette does not kill the old songs i prefer most of her versions and she has more of a personality then tarja ever will or ever has had

the only thing good about tarja is her voice

she has no personality at all and is a snob

nightwish is better without her tbh

[HugeSpatula]

@Zydratezombie Do you believe everything that manchild Tuomas says? It takes two to tango and everything I've read says that Tuomas is just as, if not more responsible for the Tarja drama than Tarja herself. He just won't man up and admit anything because he thinks he's perfect.

[mofrakker]

And they said she couldn't do this live. She sounds amazing (and looks hot too!).

[emil9412]

seriusly who the hell said that?? this is 1 her best songs live i think =)

[mofrakker]

There where comments that this song might be too demanding live as well as other classic material. But Nettie has come a looong way. Doing Creek Mary's blood and GHOST LOVE SCORE. She has improved vastly and looks more comfortable onstage, she just keeps getting better.

[dewilexodus]

This is....emmm.....good...:-/

[LegendTheMovie]

song should be called Reality's Maze

[MrReason09]

If you think belting means "destroy" old songs, then you're not exactly on the right track of things.

Belting is a technique, and from my PoV, Anette executes a lot better belting than Tarja's Classical technique.

And anyway, what does Escapist has to do with Tarja?

Obviously tou're a little Tarja fanboy with Music expert delussions.

[tangleduprecordings]

finally i read something that actually makes sense!

i thought tarja was gonna be an opera singer and focusing on her classical repertoire only while she made a metal album... mmm she's old enough to be an opera singer and singing in bit theatres.. maybe she's not a great opera singer and she's better carrying on releasing metal albums... yes!

[MrReason09]

"[...]of course Tarja was better but Annete has her own style and voice, if only she would stop destroying the old songs. Great job here!![...]

Yeah obviously the holy Tarja never fucked up on stage, and she always sang her own songs.

why don't you go die in a volcano or something?

Tarja is a pathetic Classical singer wannabe with a terrible (and by terrible I mean ear hurting) vibratto.

Tarja sang Tuomas's songs, and she had the same right to sing them as Anette has now.

So STFU.

[Aysilalaurence]

Well, before watching this I really thought annette couldn´t sing live. I was wrong and I admit it. Anyway, this song is the best one in DDP, this IS Nightwish, not the commercial poppy single Amaranth. I suppose they wanted the money and the new fans...

Finally, of course Tarja was better but Annete has her own style and voice, if only she would stop destroying the old songs. Great job here!!

[OceansPoet]

That concert was soooo amazing, one of the best days of my life.

[darkwoodmovies]

I love how she sings "painting the world in white" on the live version

[tntsam]

amazing anette has came back with a vengence

[Hippydude777]

uh how?

[tntsam]

well shes up on that stage and isent letting nuthin stopping here and her vocals are just amazing

[Hippydude777]

oh okay, yeah she's kicking ass all those haters can go home with tarja.

[tntsam]

lmao yep she is amazing

[Magician12345]

like a badass thats how!

[Brogath]

no one can deny that she can sing...

but she should stop to try to sing the old songs though XD

[wishmaster198]

hehe. She was always great but now she is PERFECT!!!

[unusualitalian]

@tntsam Amazing Annette? you gotta be kidding me man. she just can't make it.

[cha389]

thanks bro!!! it doesn't matter if it's "the escapist" or "escapist" but is better have it as correct as possible

sorry for my english, i'm learning =P

[paleillusion]

I think now and here that's no matter, it doesn't make difference :D

But thank you, now I know it right :)

So I can go kick DL :D

And yes, this song [with and without "The"] is very beautiful. :)

[cha389]

my favorite band is Within Temptation =)

but this is my favorite song,

best Nightwish song ever!!!

[cha389]

it's "escapist" look in the official web or in wikipedia

[KevinCarey]

on the Nightwish Reborn digital download they have it listed as Escapist so your 100% correct!

[Maaizz]

Isn't the title just "Escapist"?

Thank you for uploading this, btw. I was also there and I recorded it, but the audio quality was crap and my cam couldn't zoom in :(

[paleillusion]

No, it's "The Escapist" :) You can look it anywhere on the net ( DarkLyrics etc. ).

[KevinCarey]

on Nightwish Reborn digital download they have it listed as just Escapist no THE but really isnt this a trivial argument haha

[InekeWZ]

It's Escapist according to my DPP tour edition ;)

[Tuomas1701]

OMG this is awsome!!!! I can't wait for the concert...

[Evanescencefan4life]

go for it anette!! yaay she's so cool. <3

[mofrakker]

Again...why was this song not in DPP?

[DrzSpectre]

it's an bonus song from DPP>>> so in conclusion it's on DPP;)

[mofrakker]

Yes, but unfortunately it's not on the normal version or even on the bonus orchestral double cd. Just on another version. There gonna add it to the new cd though.

[YuuiNoAi]

it's a bonus song on the japanese version.

[marleysheredder]

lovely song! Anette really has increasing a lot of stage and singing performance i hope that she can keep join the band for a lot of years n.n

[milaina22]

this music is really good

Anette increasingly improving, has a stage presence of up to scare me!

I love this woman

[JRadicalll]

I remember when everyone was saying that they never did this song live because Anette wouldn't be able to handle it. Pft. They were wrong. =]

[Nightwish15March09]

Lol yea they are! Anette Rocks =]

[Nightwish15March09]

Yeaaaa I was there and Anette her voice was amazing that night =D I think Tarja wont ever do a better job on this setlist. yea maybe ehmm let me think... I think Tarja could do dead boy's poem better =P

But Anette is great!

[eewarze]

this was the first song i heard from this band. (yeah, quite a new fan). when i heard it i thought wow..never had i heard a better song. the chorus is superb. i just wanted to see a live performance of this on youtube...and a few months ago..there was NONE. man... thanks fro uploading!!!

[DrzSpectre]

NIGHTWISH BEST EVER BAND listen to all their songs and u realize that nw can compete with any simphonic/gothic/heavy/power metal band

[Vrauccia]

Love this song, hope they'll play it in Italy! Just 7 days left!

[Juliette9990]

So far the setlist has been the same for every gig they played, so I think you'll get to hear this one as well :D

[RadicalPanda2710]

This song is so awesome. It gives me chills

[GIUMAX73]

i'm asking why ANETTE has improved so much...now she really AWESOME........

[Zagor1991]

WOW. Good song. :)

Only 2 weeks for Nightwish in Zagreb, Croatia.

[GIUMAX73]

9 days for nightwish in italy!!!!!!!!!!

[MetalJanka92]

After Zagreb, they'll come to Debrecen, Hungary too

I hope they'll play this song in Debrecen^^

[HunLancer]

Hi, I'm from Hungary, and they will almost certainly play this in Debrecen too, because there won't be a pause until the USA leg of the tour.

[Zagor1991]

The Escapist... wow.

Only two week for Nightwish i Zagreb, Croatia. :)

[Zbrkalo]

Me tooooooooooooooooooooo!

Vidimo se!! ;)

[krisnjik]

Wow... They're finally playing this song. I have a ticket for they show in Zagreb, Croatia. Hope they'll play it there too. And I want to hear a Ghost love... XD

[deutschesmaedchen]

this is cool, because we've never heard it sung by Tarja. don't expect everybody to accept her versions of Dead Boy's Poem, GSL or The Siren. it just doesn't work that way after all those years of Tarja magic.

[SaharaNw]

emmm, xD tarja is not in nightwish now  :S

[deutschesmaedchen]

WHO SAID SHE WAS. WHAT ARE YOU, 5 YEARS OLD? or spanish/mexican, for that matter. didn't you even bother to READ my comment? you just saw Tarja and went: UGH Looks like another quest for us, missionaries of the almighty Anette Ozone.

[IKEAFTW]

Oh wow, you just made yourself look like a racist AND a retard. Good job, sir. You should be sacrificed to the Almighty Anette Olzon. (<3)

[TheDon7703006]

its absolutely beautiful to see them play this live wish i could see it annete is far better than tarja

[NazTb0y]

one really shouldn't even compare them...

[BogdanGitarista]

dear God!!! sooo cool stage!

anette was cool before, but now....she is awesome! love you anette!

[ironheaven]

Anette fill's her own shoes, because she's herself and she sings in her own way and those are the best things of Anette. It's great to see she dares to be just what she is. No more or less. She's brave and great singer. I really love Anette and guys of the band. Nightwish is the best!!

[daantjeme]

This was the best concert of NW!! I've seen them 4 times now, 2 times with tarja and two times with Anette :D

[OneMoreNightToLive]

i hate you :p /i wish i seen them 4 times :( /

i wish i was older :D and that i heard for nightwish before. :D

[xwinterstormx]

never heard this live : / i must say it was totally amazing :D go go go go anette :D

[foreverandever19]

Well done Nettan! :)

[42lacey]

Anette's best song hands down!! I am so happy that she is getting to be so great on stage. No one thought she could fill Tarja's shoes but believe it or not people she is doing it! Without her there would be no NW. Not saying that i don't miss tarja in the band. But im fine listening to both knowing there all happy now! I love both singers. Anette you go girl!!

[OneMoreNightToLive]

actually, she doesn't fill tarja's shoes, she brought hers :D (she said that in an interview, actually :D )

[oamadeife]

What an interview was it?

[42lacey]

Oh clever way to put it anette! : )

[growlmon648]

my favorite song i love you annette

[sunkensoldiersball]

Gaaf! Leuk om Escapist vanuit een andere hoek te zien :D Ik was superblij dat ze deze song speelden :) Mooi geluid ook!

[WarwickOne91]

(en ik snp dat er meer waren xD) ik zie btw. dat je aardig wat filmpjes van het concert heb =p

[13Nelynt]

OMG What a voiceee!!!

Still I am like this O__O

[Atkamon]

Wow, this is really cool, Anette has improved so much, her voice is better than ever!

I love Nightwish!! Cant wait for the gig in april!^^
