Nightwish training Romanticide for the world tour by VEEN waters

[key015]

what happened to Emppu's epic solo?

[Rhena979]

Ok, I can do it now, I can press play button and try. First two minutes, ok, I still can! But at around 2:20... FUCK! I CAN'T!

[MrFirephoenix25]

You make me laugh with your "Tarja > Anette". Don't you forget the all band chose Anette for singing in Nightwish ? Don't you think she was chosen for her skill ?

[lacuba7]

are you killing me?.This song performed by Anette ins´t not even ten percent of good that the version of Tarja Turunen.

[FacuCT]

I think her voice donst fit for this kind of songs.. imaginaerum is better for her but worse for me..

[HeadmasterPrime5]

Hey she reminds me of a taller version of my science teacher with blonde hair! My teachers is red.

[94mav98]

I really hope they will perform this a lot on the upcoming tour! It's one of the oldies that fits Anette's voice like a golden glove.

[MrDajx]

I love how you can tell Emppu likes the way Anette sings it just by looking at his face XD

[MrDajx]

She is perfect at 4:09 :P

[LamentodelElVampiro]

Sorry but this sucks, her voice ruined another old song..... :(

[Christie80]

I want her boots

[RazoOr45]

i hate your water its terrible

[MrMikko5000]

2:09 oh my this is heavy as fuck

[hardraynesgonnafall]

I find it's like anette enjoys what the band is doing way more than Tarja ever did. It's like she's really into the song and is interested in like the drum solos and guitar solos and marcos vocal parts, you can see it in this training session. Tarja never even went to training sessions......

[katinka810]

Terrible vocals ((((((((

[AndresxPaladin70]

no es mejor que se dedique a cantar pop pero no eso que pasa xd

[KALMAGEDDON]

@AndresxPaladin70 Aprende a redactar.

[AcidRainAgain]

what song is this please??

[ashleywasp]

@AcidRainAgain Romanticide

[ch00p]

lol...jukka @ 2:11 =P

[Keyslayer]

Blonde anette is a taller emppu

[Goreciitoox]

she doestn't have that "thing" that rage that has tarja..

[shangraf]

emppu's face 0:57 "omg aaarrrgh"

[intranick]

@NikosNW hell no

[MrMorphium666]

veen waters the only true water xD

[Golfclubization]

good voice but bad optic - anette looks little bit ehrm big

[XxZeroHellsingXx]

Emppu: @0:58 Trolololol

[zekejammah16]

haha i don't like her version of this song. but i don't think i would like it if tarja sang Amaranth or Sahara, so yeah. I'm probably like the 10,000 person to say that but i just had to say it.

[Starche]

It's Clear II prefer Tarja

Annette is a catastrophe

[Starche]

It's Clear II prefer Tarja

Annette is a catastroph

[perkele181]

i bet the botlle emppu drinks from at 2:48 isnt containing water but some vodka named finlandia !

[mikewill9511]

I would like to hear Annette singing operaticly. She's a soprano anyways. 

[niahaa]

@mikewill9511 Oh no, not a soprano ^^. Alto, maybe mezzo-soprano, but she isn't in any way a soprano... but she's still amazing ^_______^ !!!

[tinmanluver35]

@niahaa

No, she is a soprano. Not operatic though.

[niahaa]

@tinmanluver35 Well, if you consider that Simone Simons from Epica is a Mezzo-soprano (and she is), you can't say that Anette is a soprano ^^. I'm studying lyrical singing since 3 years, working a soprano colorature, and it's absolutely not the same thing =) But as I said before, Anette is great anyway and I'm glad to going to see Nightwish live with her in April ;)

[MrKotzdoch]

uuuuuh - a creepy chicken is singing

[GreenDay1981]

The drum part Jukka does from 3:36-3:52 sounds like something you'd hear in Riverdance. That's not a bad thing though. He's an awesome drummer! 

[LilyLollypop10000]

0:57 EMPPU O_o XDXD

[nwcarmen]

People makes such a common mistake... to be a fan of the singer and not of the band!!!!

[7aldebaram]

Thebrandx hahaha where are you tarja!

[7aldebaram]

WTF annets sucks!!!!

[thebrandonx02]

0:55 The face of emppu is like : " Oh my fucking God where are you tarja"

[death17954]

@thebrandonx02 bro shut up now, no one person should make or break a band the same goes with nightwish, the fact is Tarja chose to leave and start working solo if you're going to comment how Tarja was better go find her solo songs or something, fact is both Annette and Tarja have amazing vocals and it still is the very same band that started in 1996 with the album Angels Fall First

[RawrItsJuul]

@death17954 The band also decided they didnt want to work with her anymore thats why she left sooner then she had originally planned. So that persons statement was pretty dumb anyways.

[94mav98]

I'm a long-time fan and I think this is just as good as the album version with Tarja, but in a different way! I love it when Anette's voice gets all raspy!

[HeartsEyes]

@94mav98 I agree, and I'd like to add, I like her "real" live performances even more than this rehearsal one, because they are even edgier and somewhat more aggressive. :)

[Keturamies]

Anette look so shy whit these guys in that vid :D

[Morgisakim21]

there's an anchor

[TheDarkWielder88]

Anette sounds better live from what I see. Does it matter which singer is better with Nightwish? I enjoy songs with Tarja sings when she was in Nightwish and even when Anette sings with them.

[MrDeylen07]

How does Tuomas achieve such great Choir sounds? They just sound so.....epic.

[brucekirk89]

they need me to play rhythem guitar for them soon

[MrNellZzz]

anette owns this song. <3

[kl0uny]

Cette chanson va mieux avec la voix de Tarja

[MrVhek]

@kl0uny ou pas! x)

[kl0uny]

@MrVhek bah chui désolé Anette la pourri totalement même si j'adore Anette cette chanson est pas pour elle

[MrVhek]

@kl0uny Moi je suis désolé mais la tu voit elle est pas en studio Anette.Je trouve que elle la chante bien!Petit problème elle est trop pressée.

[kl0uny]

@MrVhek mouai bah chacun son avis

[LyricSponge]

Anyone else notice Jukka's cute little smile at 2:11?

[FieryDreamerBG]

grr awful



[longboardguy]

@FieryDreamerBG shut up

[hemidodge1637]

im sorry anette is good but tarja will always be nightwish

[antonsdefrancua]

I think these fires are dangerous for Marco!

[AnImmortal88]

Hey Emppu . .where's the Solo ?

[brucekirk89]

without keyboards this band would be just mediocre i think

[Hapfairy]

She's surprisingly good at this :) nice version

[neofrio]

Anette v/s Tarja is gonna be forever a fight!! Unless Anette leave NW and Tarja returns *O*

[martatodua]

@neofrio how clever you are:DLOL

and do you know that,anette has too many fans and if she will leave band,they will start talking that it was bad deccison!so i agree this new situation and anette!

love her

[antonsdefrancua]

I heard this song only with Anette and I will listen only this version!

[ladyraven31]

@antonsdefrancua  I like Tarja's version of this song too, but Anette's version is my favorite. I like this one better :-)

[Tangakkai]

@ladyraven31 me too, it has way more "punch" to it...

[legomand1000]

@ladyraven31 agree



[longboardguy]

@antonsdefrancua me too

[AzZaLoRr]

Yeah ppl ... get it over tarja is awesome but ... annette is sweet ... she have such a nice voice she is pretty and most ... she give nightwish a new style awesome style ... so just get it over...

[deportivozorro]

at least has a good ass lol xD

[BrandonHarami]

Anette throws a real nice twist to this song.

[shifayusz]

tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,tarja, annete,

thats what the people arguing in every nightwish video on youtube..what the hell?

move on...! LOVE NIGHTWISH..!!

[moclis]

Oh my gosh it's horrible especially 1:04 - 1:11

[MrCold768]

where is the solo? :(((

[destroymode]

@ 0:57...LMFAO!

[zetsuey]

lol...this actually...

isnt that bad :)

[Surise]

I don't really get what these Tarja fans would've liked Tuomas to do? Get another opera singer even though Tarja could not be surpassed? Make Marco the singer and practically stop playing old songs altogether? Keep Tarja even though they hadn't talked for two years and didn't get along at all and with time make all of them depressed and the music soulless 'cause there's no fire to continue together? End the band because of one person even though the fire to continue is still there? Geez.

[animallover19921]

hey people u all complain about the new singer or compare them both but look a this the best way any new singer classical like tarja or not u will always will be compare with tarja ,tarja did an awesome job and nobody can doit better in a symphonic way i think thats why the group did not chose another clasical singer becouse then will be the cheap copy of tarja so just enjoy or go to a video where tarja appears

[antonsdefrancua]

@RigamonteDiego OK my english is not perfect, because I'm not Britisher or American.Anyway you doesn't know what metal IS (now you feel better, I will be waiting for your aggressive comment)

[Tangakkai]

2:09

See the joy in emppu's and Jukka's faces, you can see that the band loves this part of the song, as do I :D

[carl206rc]

@Tangakkai they love it because annette is not singing heheh

[antonsdefrancua]

@RigamonteDiego First Nightwish isn't heavy metal band but symphonic metal and second you are stupid kid who doesn't know what is metal.

[ereniac]

romanticide?

I think It is more like "song-icide"

[KetiPower]

I just said and I repeat. Her voice is so diferent of everything I've heard and is so beautiful and stronger. The music wins a new face.

[Renadrawer]

lulz, It's getting hot in here

Of course, With so many flames.

[galaper]

as a singer tarja seemed better, as a person annette is better - tarja wasn't really (that's why they fired her)

[impvr1]

4:34 laughed so hard :D

[MrFredo007]

I don´t like Nightwish anymore,because Anette is so,so bad!!So,I spend my money to others!SORRY,Tuomas>you´re mistake!!

[gabriel6277]

@MrFredo007 You do know Tuomas is not gonna read this comment, don't you?

[vladxx2]

2:40 Viking warchief overlooking the battlefield before the charge.

4:37 "CHARGE VIKINGS!!"

[LayconBG]

Lol+roflmao+WTF!?= Emppu face 0:55

[1Calista1]

tarja was just the voice, tuomas is the songwriter and the soul of nightwish! we cant lose tuomas. . . we clearly survived without tarja. we have anette. and she does a damm good job at it!!

[1Calista1]

anette did a good version of this song. its only because she cant reach notes she screams. she kinda forces her voice and strains herself which is why at times it doesnt sound too right. but she still does good versions of this song! and tarja was not Nightwish. Nightwish was the band! if anything tuomas is nightwish because he did it all. . . except for the singing. take away tarja and take away tuomas, obviously we are all better off with tuomas rather than tarja.

[Disturbedboy619]

I like Annette a lot, but Tarja just owns this song, there's no comparison

[wojstep]

omg ..nightwish is dead...tragedy

[antonsdefrancua]

Anette is amazing.

you can see how much emotion she put in.

[rockinguy31]

Fucking awesome!!!

[FFFREAK1992]

i think, this is a good song for anette :)

[WithinNightsCoil]

I love this so much! I love Anette and I love Tarja the same, both great but different singers!

[ritas666]

if you dont like anette voice i gues you can do better then DO IT YOUR SELF

[kruemeltobi]

@ritas666 i don't like her voice for that kind of music! but i couldn't do better... so i think: her voice fit's better to pop (see the song april & october)

[matotuHELL]

Srange. Normally i say: old songs are better with tarja´s vocal because it´s original but this song is maybe better in anette´s version. She is great. They are great!

[Keturamies]

@matotuHELL (N)

[starbucksgod]

is there any nightwish youtube video that people don't argue about Tarja and Annette. It really is quite stupid at this point.

[antonsdefrancua]

@starbucksgod Agree 100%

[Rasmusen777]

@starbucksgod I tottally agree with you,

[wolffe93]

@starbucksgod no there isn't a single one

[GraceVanDir]

@starbucksgod suddenly it is! watch?v=Fi2p8Flelo8



[MrNakhrul]

@starbucksgod

Here is the common scenario, the one that brought me here:

I was listening the original version of romanticide and came at this video through a "related" link.

Ok, now I am listening this horror version and REALLY trying to endure the song just to hear Emppu's guitar at least.

During which, my eyes fall on this comment: "maybe better in anette´s version. She is great".

I will refrain this time, but you get the idea. This is why flame wars are starting,

[mattofvengeance]

@starbucksgod You're right. It's quite irrelevant cause Annette can't hold Tarja's jock, and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

[chopantura]

@nintendork4 hahaha don't make me laugh please ,I'm not going to kill myself because the stupid people like you are too much on this world

[chopantura]

@nintendork4 stop insulting Tarja,it won't help Anette to be better singer

[jjjaaauuummm]

Give me a knife I gonna kill myself

[jooleah74]

I <3 Nightwish. Can't wait for the next album!!! ^_^

[cyr4x]

i don't really like nightwisht without tarja

[chopantura]

@cyr4x me too

[abadon1]

she does not sing, she scream, i don´t like this version. nightwish was unique because of its opera singer, now they sound like any other band. it is a shame.

[lkirkup]

@abadon1 screams, she's like a screeching crow

[emil9412]

@abadon1 lol Anette is probably more unique in metal because most female fronted metalbands use a classicly trained singer. Ohh and what other band does NW sound like?? :)

[temari190]

anette owns this song!!!! sorry i gotta say she's better at this one then tarja...

[jorgemayhem860707]

anette sucks

tarja come back please this band need you

[MetalWarrior95]

Emppu is like a kid xD YEAAHH!! ROMANTICIDE!!!

[Gulli05]

Amazing how people are still obsessed with Tarja being kicked out of the band.

Anyway, Anette does an amazing job there and any real musician or person with good musical knowledge can tell you that!

[Sticky1254]

@Gulli05 Anette is amazing but she just doesn't have the tone that Tarja put out.

[LaraKnon]

she is terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! :(

[XEvanescenceXLove]

I love Anette's version of this. :)

[eVanwiish]

ooh Emppu (LL)

[NettanFairy]

Anette <3

[ozkardrums]

¬¬ how in the world!!!!!???? is that woman better than TARJA????

[TarjaSingForMe]

@ozkardrums not better, just different =D ,, LOVE ANNETE (L

[MrArmoris]

Пускай она немножко фальшивит, пускай иногда не дотягивает ноту, у той же Тарьи те же недостатки, мне нравится 

[AntonSoundcheck]

F**in badass.  Love nightwish!!!

[midanelcancio]

love this song, adore this(anette) version :D:)...

and worship jukkas drums at 2:15 :]

[babybubbly]

THE WOMAN CANNOT SING FOR SHIT!

Tarja made that band with her voice. You wonder why alot of fans gave up when she left,

[ch00p]

While I generally prefer Tarja's vocals, I always felt that Tarja's voice felt out of place in the more "hardcore" songs like Romanticide. I prefer Anette's voice in this song...now if only she had more vocal control...

[Subsistancer]

This song is on it's way to becoming my favorite NW song. Mostly because while orchestra's and choirs are great, it's nice to have the song resting entirely on the band.

[bignade00]

@animegirlkitten if u don't like it go somewhere else and watch tarja's solo album video's if u want .

[Awakening091]

Breakdown!

[buslady]

the best part of this tune is Marco's bass line...

[Nekromastey]

The song is still freaking awesome.

[perkele181]

@Nekromastey off course it is awsome and anette rules the ass off tarja

[AzumiNW]

loveletters burn, not loveletters lost

[Daudiu]

hahaha emppu is so funny at 0:57 XD

[minaywn]

Monkey face XD

[marcmm03]

can understand why there is no solo. I also didn't like rehersal sometimes and skips a few part. Usually just try to get the range of the vocal right only and the timing too.

[shadowparkour]

Cool version, Love it. No more need be said

[niniahmetalhead]

i agree^^

[felers1]

solo??? Emppu is very lazy! :D

[niahaa]

Soloooooo ?? Where is the solooooo ??

[sithlordrules]

i love this version!!!! She rocks. i hope to have more albums with her

[hjpaddock]

Anette's part at 4:09 is so perfect! :D

[paynsorigami]

como le permiten cantar a esa mujer las canciones que canto Tarja, se ve tan ridicula (no le llega ni a los talones a su voz)

[glennofthunder]

I don´t get why people don´t get over the fact that Tarja isinn´t in Nightwish anymore...... Just because 1000 people wrtie bad comments about Annette, whom by the way is totaly awsome, some screw ups but okay, .... Tuomas isn´t goint to call back Tarja begging reunion.... hahah please... The new nightwish rules!!

[NightwishObsessed]

It isn't even a thousand people, it's like, four trolls that never eat or sleep. XP

[ShwangShwing]

@glennofthunder Sure, Tarja won't return, but it doesn't change the fact that this song sounded way better with her. I don't like Nightwish with Annete and I don't like Tarja's solo career euther. I'll stick to listening to the already recorded albums.

[emil9412]

@ShwangShwing Tarja is really awesome but she've never performed this song live and i don't think it would have sounded that godd.... it's not her way of singing but imho it sounds really good with Anette

[phoenixgirl39]

@glennofthunder I don't know why people waste their time coming to Nightwish videos JUST to knock on Annette. Am I the only one who has better things to do than to come and read that???

[rexxxandclaudia]

@glennofthunder I totally agree! She's gone, and nothing can bring her back. There's no point in whining about it.

[antonsdefrancua]

@glennofthunder Agree 100%

[antonsdefrancua]

@glennofthunder Agree you are true Nightwish fan.

[MagusNadimi]

Where is Emppu's awesome guitar solo? =[

[IsheebesIover18]

just a training session there really isnt any need to shred his fingers

[MagusNadimi]

True. Still awesome though =]

[calidus69]

que mal canta esta zorra...

No tiene que insul
