Sonata Arctica replica remake 2006

[UnleashMoonlightFire]

I hate the layered vocals that appear on this and every Sonata Arctica album from Unia onwards.

I really don't see why Tony feels he needs to have a hundred backing versions of himself on every song; his voice is brilliant on its own and this just spoils it.

[tavini1]

This is a nice remake... Not Like the Wolf and Raven Remake x_x

[XsomeoneXelseX]

TBH, I liked the older solo better, but this version is pretty cool too.

[OceansOfRegret]

Ruined.

[theXiLeNiTa1990]

me fascina esta banda ..xD

[RossoCharm]

no way. this version is waay better than the other one

[Scialoo]

Sonata Arctica the best  !!!

[Faron64]

When i heard this band as a kid i loved it and i loved the keyboardist so i took piano then i quit now i wanna take it again but i dont know should i?

[fodibo]

@Faron64 Yes!!!!!!!!

[Faron64]

@fodibo Thank you!!!!!

[Idilyon]

@Faron64

Yes x2

[Tiloubrunet]

Nothing's what it seems to be

I'm a replica, I'm a replica

Empty shell inside of me

I'm not myself, I'm a replica

[sarahchance72]

the 2 versions are great , they are quite similar !!

[Jess2032]

i love the old version, but im trying to figure out what they did different with this one... sounds somewhat the same just alilttle deeper or something

[Kzar5678]

@Jess2032 I think they used a bit more guitar and bit more "oomph" in the lyrics if u know what I mean.

[hitmanieves]

@Kzar5678 and the put the piano a tone below and rise the peace one bit

[pipanakakka]

@Jess2032 Intro & outro are a bit different, solos are more "powerful" + Tony's pronouncing is way better in this one :)

[Aru899]

refer the old one, because is the one with which I knew about Sonata, it's a very special song for me. Anyway, this remake it's perfect, as the old one. Sonata Arctica forever :). Best baand for me, best song: Replica (L) (I'm sorry about my english xD)

[FrkBerwald]

No matter what, the lyrics are the same and just as amazing as always!

[rockangyal81nedy]

Imádom ezt a számot!!!!!!!

[4ST0N]

@rockangyal81nedy Szerintem sokkal jobb a régi, szerinted?

[PuppezMaster]

old version is way better than this one ... needless

[runawayscreamingWEEE]

I like this version. It sounds... A bit cleaner, by that I mean the instruments are easier to hear. Also, Henrik's keytar solo sounds so lovely in this one, I just about melted!~

[TakenXByXNightfall]

Love these guys, no matter what they do, it seems. I love the amped up solos, though the bass line in the original felt a little heavier than in the remake. I liked the end of the original as well. Ending with "I'm the man who lived," was impacting. This ending worked really well, too. Awesome, either way.

[TakenXByXNightfall]

Love these guys, no matter what they do, it seems.

[psimmis]

fuck geography. this remake is the best remake of a song i've ever heard, and it comes from the very band that originally made this song, un-fuckin-believable

[superkafkaesque]

@allof8death no, you're wrong. AMERICA is a continent: south, central and north. U.S.A is a country. you guys should complain about your geography lessons to someone. they're teaching it wrong, sorry.

[my5thbebo]

testicles...that is all.

[ikes123]

Veeeery cool, but i prefeer the original

[GunsNRosesFan4]

best of them!!!

[Sentya]

Thank you.

[KarniManni]

In my opinion both versions are awesome *_*

[Aryanor86]

I most love the last part of this version

[Glorfindelish]

makes me ill.

[DarkCrusader7]

htis is so amazing, so beautiful, just love it. Sonata Arctica is one of the greatest Power Metal Bands of the World !

[GuitarNarb]

Nice solos <3

[DiegoX156]

I think both versions are completely awesome, if you prefer the old one, go and listen it.

[SonataProFAN]

Dont you think they are doing this just for fun?, thats the thing of the music kids, try something instead of be so asses.

[howdyfeller]

The original version was polished and flowed perfectly. I have no idea why they wanted to remake it.

This version is almost boring and without emotion, considering how powerful the original is

[ikill4klondikebars]

@howdyfeller

they did the same thing with Wolf and the Raven and the new version is just crap compared to the original.

[howdyfeller]

Must be running out of material

[OverLeveled]

@howdyfeller

yeah that's why they've released 2 albums of new material since this was released.

[Marxiton]

jani , come back

[Losiu9]

Final in old version is waaaay better

[PokemonAlakazam555]

we got one band in croatia named replica...

[MissInoue]

the remake is beautiful as the original song... nice <3

[ShadowlordDargor666]

I always thought that this song wouldn't be out of place on the radio. But it is a really kickass song regardless.

[pinkbitchrachel]

i like the other version better

[BeritYentlSchumann]

Guitar better, vocal worse... hm.. actually i can't say which version i prefer^^

But thx for posting =) 5*

[ruizko90]

where´s henrik???

[urieldhka]

He plays the back keyboards until the keyboard solo before the "rising from the place I've been..."

[LithiumFairy92]

i prefer older version, too...

[BlackFeather713]

This is the best version IMO

[matu90rk]

I fell in love with SA when I heard the first version, which is better IMO, but this one is good too. I miss old SA :'( Ecliptica, Of Silence, Reckoning Night, Winterheart's Guild... such amazing albums!

[eatallpiepods]

I like the older version better, but maybe that's just because I'm more used to it x) This one's good too, but I prefer the old vocal lines, solos and tempos. But the real killer for this version is that it ends to soon - where's the "I'm the man who lived~~" bit, eh? v__v

[silv4hs]

Yeah, I'm missing this part too. But the instrumental/solo parts of this version are plain awesome.

[Woronwe]

I prefering first version.

[MegaMunky007]

I like this version more than the older one, don't know why...

[FallenAngel235]

i found the older version much better... i don't know, this one looks more commercial... and quick.. the other one is slower and beautiful

[jw2b5fkz]

nice music

[Woronwe]

first version is better - for me:-)

[filipmisko]

I know only this version, where can I find older one? :S

[irianthul]

I like it. But i like the other one too. you shouldn't compare them. you should respect them as different songs.

[TRR47]

the original is much better, this version has too many of SA's newly acquired pretencious habits

[zookeeper220]

...first song I heard by Sonata Artica...then I fell in love with the music.

[ecyong]

great song my favorite

[Kiger8Kiger]

i like the older version WAY better =O but still 5 stars 'cause it's still a good song :)

[SeeDarK]

i said the same of roninv5 but in spanish...sorry for my bad english xDD

[roninv5]

i don't get what your guys' problem is with this version, it's almost exactly the same as the original. it's gayer???

[SeeDarK]

que tiene de malo? pues a mi me gusta mas esta q la orginal... o mas bien son diferentes...me gustan las 2 , ea!! Ya mismo conciertazo en Madrid y Barcelona ^^

[Aurumhawk]

The original version is much better than this one...

[WereWolfWings]

the remake is so much worse then the original song.

[BlackSymphony12]

I think also that the olds albums are better than examble Unia.

[kleptoklepac]

Not bad, but the original was a lot better..

[FabianHarkinn]

En comparacion al original... : Simplemente Malo.

[JuannSito]

I really hate remakes. I'm not a closed mind. I just don´t like them. I know things changes and evolves, but I really miss the old Sonata. I hope they come with a new album more like the first or second. Black sheep and San Sebastian are the best songs =)

[ATKillZ]

I couldn't agree more. I wouldn't mind even if they made just a few songs like their old ones in a new album.

[Bastiest]

I really like this alot. It's just so great.

[behavingdark]

This is a much more meatier version can get a good moshing going to this one loving it.. Can hardly wait for the new album life is on hold till it gets here .Rock on Sonata .. also well said typeofilth jeez what the hell has America got to do with Sonata chill people stick some sonata on and put your feet up

[typeofilth13]

So How did these comments turn to what they did? This is Sonata Arctica I'm sure they despise this kind of talk. People Are people No matter where you live what race you are it dont matter there are good people and bad in every country in every race in every time in every WOLF PACK its just the way it is. I respect All Countries and the good people of those countries but most of all The music that is created from those countries Sonata is one of the VERY BEST!

[snakewufrost]

@typeofilth13

ha ha..

most tolerant person i have meet up until now.

I do share your thoughts sir. I wish that were more people like you.

Not like me... I am just let-go person, a simple pacifist .

[XxDANIxX4]

@typeofilth13 i agree with you men,i hate when the people makes that.They dont understand that we are the all equal,an true...Sonata is one of THE BETTER bands of the history

[TrueDragonForceFan10]

@typeofilth13 The comments turned out like this because fans and haters love to argue. Look at Nightwish, when Tarja left and Anette was put in people started fighting over who's the better singer. I don't think they even care about what the topic is they just want to argue becuase they have nothing better to do. I could prove this too. Look at DragonForce, they just lost ZP(their singer) and they put in Marc. Watch the evil comments unfold. Oh yeah and your comment is awsome too.

[nwobhm75]

paras SSUOMALAINEN bändi

[dgldrhyde]

este es un buen remake y no como los del 2008

[Gellidus]

Bad bad american, don't make us come down there again and burn that little white house of your, we have done it onces ;)

all aside, this remake is Good... though i prefer the Original more

[solrosen65]

Denna är bara bäst, helt underbar låt som man aldrig tröttnar på. Sonata Artica ni är bara sååååå bra!!!!

[exhumedone]

ignorant american scum

[kjeldoranking]

it's sad how what some ppl in this world try to give each other. Such as it is that the cup isn't empty or half full. It's overflowing with hatred.

[666cronox666]

que buena cancion...

[ShadowRaptor95]

I'm gonna order their new album the week it's released, that's how much I like them, my whole family likes them, except probably for my sister.

[KeviinRamberg]

before i didnt like metal, then i heard Sonata Arctica and now its my favourite band and Tony Kakko has the most incredible voice i've ever heard!

[MegaMunky007]

I like the Remake much more than the original, first I heard the original version and I hated it, now I heard this version and now its my favourite song.

[SukenFuyumi]

*OOO*

[ivcaa6]

FTW

[garotyner]

adoro essa musica ...

[yamiimax]

Sounds more like Reckoning night nice

[leakykullon]

Tony has the best voice i have ever heard

[GothamKnight666]

First time I've heard this and I gotta say I prefer the original much more. This just sounds way too over-produced. So much echo and over-dubbing on the vocals, not needed. Off to listen to the My Land one now. Expecting much the same.

[randomgai1234]

agreed.

[Nejizero666]

I think this is the first remake I could consider an improvement.

[deathcrunch]

The bass in the original gave it more depth in the beginning.

The new solo is bitchin though.

[JaniLiimatainenFan]

I like the remakes more. More complex and the solo's are even more awsome^^

[sk8nguitar4evr]

this is sweet but cmon everyone the original is a classic why wouldthey even re record this song? thats like metallica re-doing Master of Puppets

[ImperiuMGuitar]

thats true, but remember metallica have a kind of "remake" of master of puppets, the one ho plays whit San Francisco and its very good but that doesnt mean that the original isnt good =),

There just one of the two ho is best and in my opinion its the one of S&M

[iishiknew]

This makes me think of all the Marines and Sailors I have seen coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan broken ether mentally or physically. My heart and prayers are with you my brothers and sisters OOHRAH.

[allof8death]

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOWN RATED SO MUCH!! FUCK ALL YOU ANTI AMERICANS JEALOUS MOTHER FUCKERS WITHOUT US YOU GUYS WOULDNT BE WHERE YOU GUYS ARE AT!!! stop hating america for no reason

[kjeldoranking]

no reason eh? what about all the terrable things america has done now and in the past?

[ShadowRaptor95]

What bad things?

[kjeldoranking]

enslaved millions of Africans and their descendents (in the process building much of our early national wealth), and once they were freed, engaged in a century-long effort to suppress them to the furthest margins of society.

[kjeldoranking]

We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. Americas chickens are coming home to roost,

[Gellidus]

Dude... a comment like that, odds are they shall hate you more XD

[guitargod7890]

oh really, well let me remind you that americas economy is totally fucked up compared to for example where i live finland. Your education sucks, your healthcare shouldn't be even mentioned. Without us the america you know wouldn't exist (meaning european people). Personally i don't have anything against americans, unless they swear other people probably without no meaning.

[iamthemeaningoflife]

Dude, as an American I see the problems everyday, that's got NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to do with high quality music. You don't know how things work over here, Finland is an amazing country which in the future will also face hardships. I won't be a complete tool and come down on you when that happens though.

Long Live Sonata Arctica.

[allof8death]

@Supersomonerandom people that hate America are just blinded by their own media. What they DO NOT know is that media is false where ever you go its there to drive the negative out of you. NEVER the positive. So when you hear some bullshit about America being all shit and retarded do some research. Look who had to come save your ass in World War II? definitely something yall needed and we didnt complain about helping you guys. And you guys ruled with a tyrants rule that of a just and RIGHT rule.

[allof8death]

@Supersomonerandom i respect England to, but when when people start blabbering about non sense respect is cast aside completely

[allof8death]

@Supersomonerandom never said you were i am just saying lol

[Supersomonerandom]

@allof8death okies lol

[McAleksi]

@allof8death Yeah but you got your arses kicked by the commies =P

[FrozenBloodv2]

@allof8death Are u talking about America or about U.S.A ? 'cos usa is not America ._.

[allof8death]

@FrozenBloodv2 United States of America = USA

AMERICA

[onotole123]

very nice!

[Doppio8]

fantastic i'm happy

[ducanemanja]

excelent! :)

[the1and0abd]

nobody can disagree that the solo in this one OWNS the one in the first, but i think the singing in the last one was better

[TheSnob93]

The First was more "Gothic"| But this is good too =D

[gosscazr31]

this version is the best, thank you very much, my all time favorite:)

[ANTTU24]

i think that old is better but here is some ideas what would do the old version better. u know what i mean?

[deathcrunch]

This one lacks as much bass.

[bflyte]

true. solo's pretty cool, though. better in my opinion.

[janaki93]

lol 1st version owns this

[lahbib00]

This is much better than first. Really good! =)

[Elfinea1001]

Oh i like it, i like it! It's marvellous! Tony's voice <3 Sonata's music <3

[Mustatuuli]

I remember Tony saying somewhere that this version has those little things they do live.. Maybe this is how Tony now wants (or wanted back to 2006) this song to be? Both the original and this remake are great, though =)

[DaaanceYouLoser]

That's exactly why I always wished they WOULD re-record a studio version of "Replica" long before they announced it. :) Because the style they perform it live is just amazing.

[stmstm321]

soumi

[Tomiko0]

This is better than first.

[TunesInRune]

People say a Replica is a similar, but weaker, copy of something original. This is not the case here. What a song! Sonata Arctica Forever!

[periclonxd]

good song

[dreekinkorin]

first was better

[SiulF1]

I prefer the original version but this one is not bad.

[6DeadOctober6]

il y a plus de beat ..pi c'est vrm bon les deux sont tres bonnes

[whackozombie]

i cant get enuf of it!! i lov it!!! it givs me dose goosechills....lovit!

but d remake doesn't hav da same magik as da original one....but still replica is replica...i lov it!!

[TogeDiego]

this is not a remake, this is a  REPLICA !!!

[skolvolt]

I love it more than the original :D

[tfa86]

Still waiting 4 an amv including this song and a terminator video....would fit so great^^

[benjaxv91]

I thought that was Marko... But if that's Mikko, where' Marko?? Cause Mikko was in Silence, and Marko had already returned as a bassist...

[benjaxv91]

Where's Henka in the photo???

Oh, and both the original version and this one are great!

[kaiserxdd]

Before Henka the second guy from left to right (Mikko) was the keyboard buy... in fact better than Henka might I said

[hunterfam23]

That's Marko not Mikko.

[Trevellion]

sonata are just such amazing musicians, such a pleasure to listen 2

[gtarbmx]

i like the solo and and vocals in the background as tony sings the bridge. i can never find it anywhere thou

[DrDeathPM]

I fucking love this, the solo is so coooooool. I like this one better, which is not to say the origional isn't amazing

[Cob4alT]

why the fuck did they make a remake??!The original was one of the songs that you can never forget...simply brilliant..this is kind a bullshit now,they ruined the song with this stupid remake..

[4rgenn]

very good song, but the original version is the top!!!

[benkebus84]

Sweet.. Jani uses his 7-string!!!

[Animelovahr]

The keyboard solo wasn't really composed to sound well with the new keyboard sound, which didn't imo.

[SplitnexX]

original keyboard solo wasn't that good. the remake solo was awesome, otherwise i like the new verison more

[RacerofSoul]

both versions r nice but the 1st just better =)

[flamingstick]

Forget all the remakes!

They play this song awesome live!

[CrazyHaloPlayers]

the lyrics in the other one were better because they flowed with the song but just the pure music of this one makes up for it

[Avrimor]

i like this one better than the original overall, though i prefer the transition into the bridge on the old version :P

either way both kick ass

[CrazyHaloPlayers]

ditto

[Xweetke]

I like the first version better... BUT IT"S SONATA ARCTICA!!! IT ROCKS ANYWAY!!!
