Stratovarius - The Land Of Ice And Snow (Live)

[cappyakita]

I cannot belive he sings live. Overwhelming performance. I love Finns and I love The Land of Ice and Snow, I love Finnish metal and formula 1 drivers. God bless you and you Land of Ice and Snow. Czech Rep.

[ArianeMarcela1974]

Come to the Metal Open Air, here in Brazil, in April 2012! Pleeeeeaaaaaase! *-*

[MrDiegosbu]

Sensacional esa interpretacion,, tanto que empieza a llorar. En realidad no conozco en realidad el significado de la letra pero deduzco que se trata de la historia de su pais de origen:Finlandia.

[talesband]

i miss stratovarius ;(

[MsBrigtside]

Oh my God this is such a perfect song, now I really feel like crying that I'm not that lucky to be born in Finland and to spend my whole life there. Dear Finns, be proud of your beautiful country, I love all the things mentioned in this song and much more, one day I'll come back again, swim in your lakes, go to your saunas, drink your kahvi, learn your language properly and be definitely the happiest person in the world. Greetings from Czech :D

[Teqo7]

@MsBrigtside Very nice comment :) Thank you! :)

[EKGmetal]

I truly respect every finnish men and woman. They are such nice and polite people. I've been to Finland two times and so I know a lot about them. Never met such great people before! *Minä rakastan teitä kaikkia!*

[Teqo7]

@EKGmetal Thank you! :)

[tontsa911]

@EKGmetal Thank you :) Germans are damn nice people too :)

[hachirouta1998]

[axelstarful]

[pipemenia]

That grand is stratovarius

[Linnena0]

I really want to travel to Finland for several days after listening this song ：）

[bookslay]

love the part where the whole band joins in.

[juste21]

[luci66]

Mina olen Unkarilainen ja mina rakastan Suomi!

[tontsa911]

@luci66 Én vagyok a finn és szeretem Magyarországot. (I used Google Translate) :D

[SuperFanMuse]

BEAUTIFUL SONG !! LONG LIVE TIMO AND STRATOVARIUS =) !!

[Svansakuten]

[dcpetr]

@maiden01100 a kdyby ne Finem tak Číňanem? :)

[ROMANTIKILLER2]

Nice song from a good band to a lovely country as Finland is.

[ildiscorpions]

Perfect!

[ArianeMarcela1974]

♥♥♥

[ArianeMarcela1974]

saudades...

[make4365]

kotipelto osaa laulaa

[IcechickenSr]

Awsome Song, though In my oppinion at least I think he has performed this much better on other ocasions. However it's still freaking so good. Finish, sweedish, german, that whole chunk of europe produces some of the finest artists, and the fans and support structure is what I think makes this happen. Freaking awsome place to live if your into metal and artistic talent.

[malmsteenblackstar]

Finland has many great metal artists: Stratovarius, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Apocalyptica, Children of Bodom... Awesome!

[psyho212prk]

awesome!

[Evenstar988]

the most beautiful man are from Finland :-)

[ArianeMarcela1974]

@Evenstar988 I dont know if men are more in Finland, but surely, the most beautiful is there ... And he comes to Brazil in May ... ♥

[Teqo7]

@Evenstar988 Thank you :)))))

[MetalMaidenEurope]

This song is so beautiful...And i wished i was from Finland :( But my soul and heart are in Finland! And if it's destiny, i'll go live there and die there :D

[TheIrbise]

@MetalMaidenEurope

I couldn´t write it better:) its just most beautiful about Finland and Finns:)

and I just wish to go in the land of ice and snow:)

[make4365]

[jooraye]

Good

[StratoHammer]

There was THE 20 seconds on tv of Lauri and Jorg hahaha

[yingwann]

<3 Finland 

[jenskeroro]

Ive been to th land of ice and snow. Its beautiful.

[eggama]

increible saludos from mexico city¡¡¡¡

[starian10]

Simply Beautiful!!!!!!

[Dragaogoiano]

This song is beautiful, makes me wanna go to Finland for a trip. :))

[perpetual61]

Finland should be so Proud Stratovarius. I know I am and I'm from the USA a Fan since 1996.

[tenlightenmentrcds]

i have been a stratovarius fan for about 10 years, and i can say

this is the most touching strato song...

i can feel finns' tenacity, something like "sisu" from the song.

this song should be an unofficial finnish national anthem!

cheers from japan

[Dalarae]

@tenlightenmentrcds My first Strato CD was a japanese 'The best of', with a blue diamond pattern on the CD ;) Pretty awesome.

[CaptainAtheist]

Yea you're right he can't handle the high notes... but it is live. And it does sound okay... I mean it's not perfect... but it's okay. And considering a lot of other vocal singers that can't sing live at all (ex: axl rose in some concerts)... I think it's safe to say Kotipleto is a great singer.

[AlexiSdrummin88]

perfectly performed :D

[Artaniscl1]

Love finland :´)

[strato4000]

@Artaniscl1 love Strato! ^_^

[dirtyharryxl]

i love tis song and band, the best bands come from finland , this is true

[MegaCDDA]

yes, the best bands come from of finland, some exemples are, sonata arctica, nightwish, children of bodom and many other bands.

[gatinho200]

This song is for some hearts of some women ...

[blindgazzo]

Kotipelto commuove sempre, non c'è nulla da fare...

[Andorbolt]

He cannot handle the high notes!!!!

[100percentfinland]

Suomi on paras!

[perpetual61]

In The Land Of Ice and Snow

We didn't Bow under Opression

We fought and We Died

Redeemed in Blood

The Land of Ice and Snow

Here I was Born Here I've Lived

And One Day here I will Die

Under Northern Starry Sky

In The Land of Ice and Snow

[perpetual61]

The Land of Ice and Snow Where the Midnight Sun Blows Hundred Thousand Lakes Glow Northern Lights Guide our Way Come whatever May Forest God protects our way In The Land of Ice and Snow Where Koskenkorva Flows Where the freezing wind Blows Summer Nights are White and Warm In The Land of Ice and Snow Some might say that We are Cold Don't believe All that's been Told Our Hearts are Made of Gold In The Land of Ice and Snow

[192694078080]

OMG!!! its really great!!!!!!!!!

[jankab73]

...........perfekt, je vyborny......

[winggoddess]

someone should make a naruto video out of this song.

[ROCKtheMETAL3]

joyspoiler- You are right, this song should be our folksong, not "maamme" : D I love this song <3 It tells so much about Finland and finish people : )

[L0tusPrimaria]

Quase dormi mais a música é boa,principalmente no final *-*

[MAGOTICO]

When the mountains fall, Forever and this song are the best ballad....

[joyspoiler]

Fuck "Maamme", THIS is our song :) Just kidding.

[McHummeri]

Rumputeknikolla oli varmaan hauskaa kasata koko setti tän takia :D

[wvhlbly]

[timbajs]

[fatimahkhanom07]

[fleafarteasy]

Just do not get frilly power "metal". But whatever blows your hair back.

[Devil9h]

[nightf411]

Täähän on kuvattu kulttuuritalon keikan jälkeisenä päivänä... mahto ainakin jenssillä olla kunnon krapula xD

[desintegrado666]

this song perfectly could be the anthem of finland =D

[TheUlfur]

@desintegrado666 Might be better as the anthem of Iceland :)

[fbendz]

@TheUlfur All countries already have their national anthems. Why not the anthem of the Nordic countries?

[HowlingToFullmoon]

@desintegrado666 Good idea heheh :D though maamme sounds nice too when Tony Kakko sings it :)

[gh3rulz69]

@desintegrado666 that would be sick, im aussie and i would sing this with you

[jartrinidad]

amazing song.. soon in lima peru

[hellspy]

[ELANTICRASTO2008]

Who the hell is Rick Astley?

[HinataVal]

Far better than "When Mountains Fal"

[AgentGustavo]

Fucking glorious, I love it!

[Katherinaify]

He's so handsome in this video.. as usual actually))

[gumgumningen]

Which album is this from?

[Katherinaify]

Stratovarius - the last album with Timo Tolkki

[stratoaziz]

tolkki is fat

[HinataVal]

Congrats on your amazing super important discovering

[nightfireivey]

You'd do him.

[oleyum]

timo u rock man,i alawys wonder why he didnt join g3,with such talent

[stalingrenhatten]

wow Tolkki is tall.

[HinataVal]

He's like 1.90 or something xD

[ParmeliaSulcata]

This song is so beautiful. It is about Finland :)

[miltos1993]

wow

[luijo13]

The World its Full of Morons Take a Look at USA & Venezuela ;D

[holydiver978]

this is my new favorite band i cant belive ive never heard of them glad i found them though

[xconanc]

woa!! i love this song.

[KizmiMcalien]

Can't understand that critics always say, Strato's lyrics suck, i think they don't understand them. They are so interesting and many of them are mystical. One thing is right, Strato repeats many lyrics little too much :)

[darknovaGW]

i think its quite common actually, for bands that have existed for such long time

[Satanwillprevail]

he sings like crap, always has.

[rikkertje89]

I think he doesn't sing like crap. He's not singing perfect. But there are many more who sing a lot more worse.

[Satanwillprevail]

well you're obviously wrong. He can't take half the notes in the songs. Even i can do better and im not a professional singer. He has cool eyes tho, but he should get an other job

[darknovaGW]

lol well if you think you CAN sing better then why dont you wonder why Strato is a legend and you are still "nobody". people in this world are all blind? or that is you who is blind? and please dont tell me that guy got famous because of his cool eyes LOL

[Satanwillprevail]

The world is full of morons, look at USA

[darknovaGW]

i guess we also have a big example here too, obvious in front of people's eyes lol

[nightfireivey]

Lololololololololol. True that.

[Pekka147]

Actualy Koskenkorva is worlds best Vodka.

ofc from finland.

[emrebozkurt800]

Stratovarius always succeded on making songs that take us to different lands, just like in the fairy tales.

Stunning harmonies and harp-like arpeggios. Wanna see them together again :(

[rikkertje89]

The are together again!!! The new album is coming in 3 weeks!

[Advengerr]

Does somebody know what means: "Koskenkorava"?

[MySoulsAblaze]

Finnish liquor

[Romingwitherness]

it's "koskenkorva" it actually means beer.

[KizmiMcalien]

Koskenkorva is Finns Vodka mark :P

[GamlaJosef]

Actually it's a beer....

[toogi88]

its called koskenkorva, and thats a place in finland, but also a finnish booze

[exnihilo0]

And a 94 year old dementia patient spells better than you.. so what?

[MySoulsAblaze]

Hes trying not to sing to loud because of the acoustic guitar, Prick

[Waylander08]

Lol fucking retard

[andreiloga]

This song is so god that can be even yhe national anthem of FINLAND..NO OFFENSE...

[Pzygi]

I think this would be more beautiful than our current one. : D Some one might disagree, but that's what I think. ^^

[perpetual61]

one of the prettiest songs behind the genius of tolkki god bless him always from one of his biggest fans..

[SimitzisCMG]

I cant stand it.... Such great quality of voice and lyrics...

[unionofonion]

the voice of a beautiful angel.

[drumervara]

i love that song (Y)

[Hurricanethehedgehog]

tolkki needs to keep his hair long

[transferXmofts]

The beginning is a little iffy

but as the song progresses, he sounds better.

I love this song

GO FINLAND! <3

[psicodihan]

Magical

[xilotl321]

you don't know the truth voice

you are stupid and i believe that you never listen heavy and power metal

[mathijsijn]

i know what you mean, but i like the way he sings live, he cant reach all the tones, but it sounds nice that way actually

[Metalbasketcase]

And i hope you've actually heard him live?Because he CAN sing live. Or are you judging based on this clip, despite all the range youtube cuts away and the fact that this is recorded from finnish television....

[jujunanino]

yes i saw him live singing in germany.look i love this band and i like his voice but he is not good live singer in comparison likes of kiske,hansi kursch they are realy good singers not only in metal bounderies but in general.

[xilotl321]

kotipelto have a good voice, i say the best voice of heavy metal

[Bobistheone1]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CandyVrandy]

this song is all about FINLAND WOOHOO FINN RULEZ

[firionimpera]

Horrible voice????? O__O''

so, what is a good voice?

[iankaislaia]

@firionimpera Kotipelto is a good singer but not in this performance. Maybe He got sore throat...

[fbendz]

@iankaislaia To be honest, I think he doesn't have the capacity to take those notes live. It's only natural that it's becoming increasingly more difficult to take high notes the older you get. Maybe he could take those notes in the 90's but not any longer.

[emrebozkurt800]

perfect song and texture.tnx for uploading and the share

[eaglehearty]

horrible is you

[relaxx0]

horrible comment

[Stratoleox]

[yjmpgkl]

I think this is a masterpiece, it gave me chills.

[csermenyizsombor]

[habel96]

egykét hamis hang van benne nemtom mit izélsz, igaz h nem az én zenei stilusom, de fülem van:)

[poffnarn]

well that was logical... not. the song is only 3:23 long

[iTzShingo]
