[TheErty78]

[zi2222]

[adrianUebel]

[SpongebobMusicUnited]

[ReneODeay]

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas!

[LTF6161]

This is imo REALLY BAD!!! No worse...pathtetic

[violentjett]

Hey dipshit. Why don't you talk through the whole video. That would be great, thanx

[LuckyPaopu]

@MrShaneG69 It's a Carol, of bells. The bells are the ones singing in the song. Hence the origin of the name.

[SentFromMars1]

"Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord."

~Universal Commandment

[Maxman0023]

I'M SEEING THEM TOMORROW!

[therainofblood1]

AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S DONE BITCHES!!!!!!!

[edybeast]

@therainofblood1 Oh, hell yeah.

[WeeLoveRain]

Omg i soo wanna see this this year ;_;

[JordanWmoore]

@MrShaneG69 maybe you should look at it in a more philosophical way

[4evaflyleaf]

I can so play this ha its so fun to play

[bartman464]

a christmas carol concert, wtf

[doman122979]

saw this this past weekend in providence, RI ...bass player owned it till opera singer stole the show

[museack]

Well, even if (& I doubt it), that some russian sucka wrote the original song, it NEVER sounded like this. All they know how to do over there is create strife, revolution & oppression.

[videohound2005]

@museack it is of Ukrainian origin.

[sandstoneco]

@videohound2005 -- No its of MegaDeath origin....New York USA!!!!! #TSO#

[2010mpslick]

OUTSTANDING LIGHT SHOW :O

[12stel]

@MrShaneG69 musically there is no twist whatsever. This is played pretty straightforward except for few notes of a different carol at the beginning. Anyway, let the artist be an artist with their own material, most artists know better then not acknowledge a fellow artist.

[IluvEdKemper]

@MrShaneG69 The song was composed by Mykola Leontovych of the Ukraine in 1904. Get savvy.

[12stel]

@MrShaneG69 the original song IS carol of the bells, it's known in the entire world as such. So what that TSO renamed it, it's not like they wrote the song

[MsTessG]

There is just nothing like this show. No concert, no performance anywhere can top the exhilaration one feels at this concert - especially during the finale. Your heart is beating out of your chest and you feel transported off the planet for 2 1/2 hours. I pity anyone who has never treated themselves to this concert.

[kilomikedelta]

I have always loved TSO. Sad thing is, I have yet to go to a concert.

[chillytater]

ding fries are done would you like an apple pie with that

[KotoKokopelli]

I remember learning to play this song in middle school orchestra and everyone always wanted to play it. I didn't even care that it was an old Christmas carol, playing this song in sync with a huge group of other musicians is fucking awesome. Ride the rollercoaster of musical splendor, bitch.

[PWDRULEZ]

Saw them the last 2 years. Missing them this year unfortunatley. ):

[InvaderZimMustReturn]

i want to go see them so bad!!!!! there was an ad on tv for them and i was like, i have to go to that but i can't!!! i'm so sad...

[allpetsaccounted4]

how could you dislike this! ahhhh- mazing

[allpetsaccounted4]

i saw them yesterday!!!! THE BEST! i got it on camera but its not as easy 2 c. not a video camera!!! i might put in on here!

[MetalHeadAvenger]

@allpetsaccounted4 :D i saw them today, weren't they amazing?

[leppfan97]

dude that place is like twise as big as my areaana

[Unojoe1]

even if you dont like rock music you can still look at it as their modern view on classic songs love their songs

[Basketballgirlie1231]

I got front row tickets to see them this year!!!!!!! So psyched!!!

[8478275]

@Basketballgirlie1231 awww lucky :(

[hydrashan01]

97 people have metal probelms!!! God people, if it's to beast for you, get the fuck outa here!

[3Monkeyteers3]

Guys...this band isn't even Christian....why is there a religious debate going on????? It's Christmas music.....

[RockTracer1986]

@PianokKnigt609 - I understand your confusion but the song its Based on The Ukranine theme but what takes it over the top is the new music they add beggining at about 27 seconds and various other places as well as the mind boggling arrangement and performance. Greatest Rock band Live!

[OperationRebuild]

that is so sick!

[elBorrachoGuapo]

I'm not religious, be even I think turning Christmas into an 80's glam-rock show is a ticket to hell.

[cruiser970]

@elBorrachoGuapo You obviously haven't seen the show live.

[FatCatOfTheNorth]

@elBorrachoGuapo Thats so sad that you diss this amazing band for playing songs with a xmas theme... Quite frankly, xmas music sucked before they came by.

[1withguitar]

@elBorrachoGuapo so? id listen to this in hell

[sandpaw327]

omg i was there :O



[kinli1]

Were you guys sitting in the upper bowl?

[online763]

omg mellon arena is closed now

[MrsGalina]

Shchedryk (from the Ukrainian word shchedryi; "bountiful") is a Ukrainian song, or New Year's carol. It was arranged by composer and school teacher Mykola Leontovych in 1916, and tells a story of a swallow flying into a household to sing of wealth that will come with the following spring. Shchedryk was originally sung on the night of January 13 (Old Style), which is Shchedry Vechir (Ukrainian: Щедрий вечiр, "Bountiful Evening") to Ukrainians, New Year's Eve by the Julian Calendar.

[ahop99]

Guy talki9n bout the Co2 shut up and I cant beleive how amazingly musicaly talented at thjeir instruments i play 3 instruments and am, not nearly that good... obviously... they are incredible



[albina58able]

В оригиналі цієї української пісні є слова - "щедрик, щедрик , щедрівочка, прилетіла ластівочка..." Її співали, коли починався Новий рік. Зараз це роблять в ніч з 13 на 14 січня, виконуючи багато кому незрозумілий обряд, коли в сніг кидають зерно. А пояснення цьому є те, що до прийняття християнства у 988 році українці зустрічали Новий рік у березні. Цю щедрівку українці співають уже більше 1000 років.

[GerudoThief1]

maravilloso!

[LimitToApocalypseOFC]

watch?v=gnidlN0gRcI

^^^ Watch our ORIGINALLY COMPOSED cover of this timeless masterpiece performed live after only a few weeks of preparation here :D Thank you for your time any comments are appreciated!

[streamheat]

@LimitToApocalypseOFC There is no such thing as an originally composed cover of anything. It is a contradiction in terms. Annoying!

[17topollillo]

they........just rock the living shit outta people

[WilzoHD]

Mazadox anyone?

[TheClone37]

I WAS THERE AT THE SAME PERFOMANCE!!!!!!!!! Lol

[lightfreak96]

Its AMAZING!

[AsianPowerWinZ]

Man, Christmas just got serious...

[TheBammoo13]

i have witnessed this three years in a row amazing

[nerdy5746]

THE GUY TALKING IN THE BACKROUND MADE 90 YOUTUBE ACCOUNTS AND THUMBED DOWN

[TheAng3LsD3v1L]

Christmas Eve/Sarajevo is a combination of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen AND Carol of the Bells....

[mimmar3891]

@TheAng3LsD3v1L Where did you hear that? I listened carefully and heard no trace of anything that sounded like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. I think they just renamed it because it's their own spin on Carol of the Bells.

[BoUrnNe26]

@mimmar3891 This video didn't show the intro for the song. In the album version, a cello plays God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman which leads into the driving bass and drums that start the vid.

[PianoKing609]

Correction. This song is not Carol of the Bells. I hate it when people get it worng. it's Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24. Please get it right.

[12stel]

@PianoKing609 that's because everyone has known this melody as Carol of the bells long before TSO decided to rename their own version .

[PianoKing609]

@12stel Yes, but THAT IS NOT the name of the song. Many songs have other titles that have different titles to them. Like another TSO song called The Mountain. it is based off of the theme Hall of the Mountain King, but Hall of the Mountain King is not the name of TSO's song. i just wanted to give TSO the credit for arranging this song.

[TwilightFan12345613]

Great live shot. Show gets better every year. This is great but 2010 is beyond belief. Also every album has a great story.

[samsung427]

haha not to be a dork, but imagine how much power it takes to put on a show like that. lol if i plug in two space heaters in at my house i pop a breaker. just think about the fuckin energy bill for the night

[triforceforever]

Was this at the DCU center per chance?

[drystyx]

How can a group be this awesome?

[AICfreak76]

Wow, I can't wait to see them in 3 days! My hubby got us tickets for Christmas! I have wanted to see them for years, Im so excited...and it will be my son's first live concert!

[Mikej1592]

LOL Im from Pittsburgh, I saw them here in Portland a few years ago, was an awesum show. I havent been to the CIVIC arena in ages (obviously) I also refuse to call it by its corporate overlords naming convention, it will always be the Civic Arena to me.

[kveile]

[NodDisciple1]

I saw this in Houston a few weeks ago, it was awesome!  XD

[tuberez]

Here's a tip: if you're recording or see someone recording SHUT THE FUCK UP

[TheLemywinks]

I was at this show (I'm from Pittsburgh) and it was AWESOME. I've seen them every year since then and they get better and better each time. <3TSO. And Merry Christmas to all

[Trakor1]

Great music. It was originally composed in 1916 by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych.

[panividoria1]

[coasterreal]

You do realize this isnt Carol of the Bells? Its Christmas Eve / Sarajevo

[colehaus1]

[nlo13]

If you havent seen TSO live, DO IT! Their music is great, obviously, but the lights and stage presence made it something that you need to experience in person. You will not regret it.

[HaileysKitties]

[olegwrite]

MEGASONG!!!It is the Ukrainian national song.which have translated into English in 1936.Greetings from Ukraine!

[RJTechPro]

Check out Carol of the Bells by August Burns Red.. =)

[Gamrspt]

if i had 1000 pop tarts, i would throw out all of the cherry ones. :)

[chrismallet]

TSO should have a live DVD. I'm sick of fan made videos.

[UponDeadEars]

@chrismallet Buuuuut... This one has better quality compared to some I've seen. TSO probably can't afford a camera man because they spend all their money on lights and a sick ass stage performance! lol

[Wideguy1976]

Love TSO, unfortunately the morons talking kinda ruin the song. Many much better versions on YouTube than this one.

[angrynadya]

Trans-Siberian Orchestra rocks so much. Even my elderly grandmother who hates rock and loves bluegrass thought the show in Houston was great.

[OutsideAndTheKeyboar]

I was there!!

[TheFlamingDouche]

weiners

[gamernoobX]

omg shut up women

[AAUBaller20]

@teenkid100 i know right? I got an autograph from Paul O'Neil! Go team! go team go!

[teenkid100]

[everybodyhatesandrew]

I went there yesterday we had floor seats so fing cool

[85funnyguy]

this isnt carol of the bells its christmas eve sarajeavo

[thoughtsthroughsound]

@85funnyguy Definitely different songs! Carol of the bells is the original name is all, before trans siberian orchestra went and made it awesome, so awesome that they had to rename it to christmas eve/sarajeavo. Like when a a magikarp evolves into a gyrados...

[anotherguitargod]

@thoughtsthroughsound haha pokemon

[thoughtsthroughsound]

@anotherguitargod hahaha!

[mistermatt12]
