Remember like yesterday, 2007 in highschool I was only 15 years old and discovered that video, 17 years later and I'm still listening them. Sonata Arctica
Me gusta mucho este vídeo, no solo porque está Janii, si no por que todos se ven taaan jovenes!! *-* y Tony como siempre con su gran voz!! PERFECT!! :D
fan-fucking-tastic this is amazing and it would be such a hard song to play live, like just for tony to find somewhere to breathe is nigh on impossible, and with the guitar and keys that fast just impossible for anyone but Sonata god I love this song
Jani didn't really leave.... in Finland (much like in MANY other countries in the world). Military service isn't optional... it's required. Some countries have an age limit that you must do your minimum time of service (dunno about Finland). Jani never did service... so the nation basically caught wind of it, and took him in to dig ditches, clean plazas, etc. (which is what he is most likely doing now) a shame really..... Kakko has really taken this band in a sour direction.
i thought that for a while Jani´s live sets sound so bass on open strings, i love it! Theres a tab on the internet that i think is not acurate, Jani plays the low part of the armony on the intro here I think live they switch between keys and guitar F# harmonic minor for the intro, that is waht i figure out after a while
This riff can NOT be sweep picked, it's not playing arpeggios. For what I could see on his right hand he is just alternate picking really fast. It's just practice. A good choice for a slower player would to play the riff using pull offs and economy picking. Cheers!
I find it much harder with using pulloff and hammeron. Alternate picking is the best option, though it takes more time to master it. It gives some specific meaty sound to the lead, I belive
Tony started to sing live REALLY good 2004 onward. 1999 - 2003 sounds... I don't know. He doesn't do it for me. There's this AMAZING 2004 recording of Wolf & Raven in Tavastia, and he sounds amazing, way better than here or Songs of Silence.
He was tired. If you listen to other Wolf & Raven's performances, like the medley Wolf & Raven / Fullmoon, here's the God. In Japan they made the great mistake of playing such a difficult song between the last ones. Sorry for my bad English, I'm still Italian and I'm very very sleepy xD
he wasnt fired he didnt fullfilled some duties in finland but since it was going to be for long they put him to rest until he could return without any remaining duties besides check in his myspace it say he will be back
@Prdrums21 Dude, check out some of the "For the Sake of Revenge" stuff, or the newer Live in Finland stuff, or Wacken "Replica" and many others. Tony is amazing live.
@juanitoluengo On the album bass starts on the As tone, but here it starts on the Fis tone... It's much lower... Still think the vocalist is great? ;-)
ok heres my opinion, they DO alot better than dragonforce live. but honesly.. if your gonna make a song on your album thats so high you cant match the pitch live. then just make it a lower pitch to begin with.. and its not just sonata arctica that does this, alot of power metal bands do this.. it annoys me..
Idk ZP Theart makes a douche bag of himself on stage. And Kakko also does good when not singing Wolf And Raven. For those of us who've actually tried to sing the song on disk, we know it's VERY difficult.
It's too bad Tony's off here, otherwise it's a fantastic performance of an amazing song by an incredible band. He's usually amazing too : / And it's not just that it's lower and angrier, he legitimately misses notes a lot here, regardless of key Oh well, still amazing, still love 'em. Seeing them live for the first time in April ^^
doin sets that take a good few hours to set up and then perform more than once to different fans on different nights while trying to give it 100% the whole time its gotta be pretty fuckin streefull :S im not surprised the singing's a bit off... but then again i would be so be up the guitarist's are searching for his source of power lol
This is the only version of this song that isn't in potato quality. What a great performance
The AI upscaled one that's around now is crispy clean as fk
Ladies and gentlemen, the best Power metal song
2024 guys and the song still sends shivers down my spine 🤘 one of the best shredder songs (guitar and keyboard)
Rapaz nessa época os caras estavam com todo gás nessa música, o batera não saia do tempo hoje em dia ele sai várias vezes klkkk mas admiro os caras
eu tbm, acho que o tempo veio para eles, mas eles ainda são meu ídolos ^w^

amo esta banda, marco mi infancia
Guitar hero ?
@@JoaoVitor-tc9un ami en animes lo conocí :v
This has awesome keyboard and guitar synchronization
*Sonata Arctica always will be my inspiration!!!, I love these guys!!* :'D
Uploaded in 2007, awesome.
This singer kills me...
He's gifted
What do you mean with Tonny Kakko not being a great singer live? He is awesome, such an expert musician wich has an abnormal voice control.
They're freakin awesome live.
2023
Still impressive 10 years ago i first hooked into SA.
12012020
Thanks for your coments!
"Let me go, master I hate you so" (8)
So good!
fan-fucking-tastic
this is amazing
and it would be such a hard song to play live, like just for tony to find somewhere to breathe is nigh on impossible, and with the guitar and keys that fast
just impossible for anyone but Sonata
god I love this song
sonata is brilliant. amazing.
Am I the only who thinks that tony sometimes looks a bit like adam sandler?
Probably yes
he kinda does
2024.
Nostalgia
I love Sonata to death but, watching Henrik halfass solos really angers me..
And Tony's lame voice. They even lowered the tone lmao
YEEEAAARRR!!! Love Sonata!!!!!!!
Tony's said he doesn't like singing this song live so much 'cause he barely has a moment to breathe :D
Really miss Jani in this band!
Davvero grandi...i miei preferiti assieme ai Dragonforce!!!!
W il power metal!
i love the way the keyboardist looks at the camera and does keyboard shredding at the start =D
Exactly what the description says, wonderful.
Such a good intro
Jani didn't really leave.... in Finland (much like in MANY other countries in the world).
Military service isn't optional... it's required. Some countries have an age limit that you must do your minimum time of service (dunno about Finland). Jani never did service... so the nation basically caught wind of it, and took him in to dig ditches, clean plazas, etc. (which is what he is most likely doing now)
a shame really..... Kakko has really taken this band in a sour direction.
i thought that for a while
Jani´s live sets sound so bass on open strings, i love it!
Theres a tab on the internet that i think is not acurate, Jani plays the low part of the armony on the intro here
I think live they switch between keys and guitar
F# harmonic minor for the intro, that is waht i figure out after a while
this song is so fecking amazing! One of the best! But I like the cd one better, but its still good :)
This Song is awesome dude
awesome song best one they have.fastest I think to
This riff can NOT be sweep picked, it's not playing arpeggios. For what I could see on his right hand he is just alternate picking really fast. It's just practice.
A good choice for a slower player would to play the riff using pull offs and economy picking.
Cheers!
171 bpm, hard but not impossible
Just legato stuff
I find it much harder with using pulloff and hammeron. Alternate picking is the best option, though it takes more time to master it. It gives some specific meaty sound to the lead, I belive
yes, the album is "silence"
GOOSEBUMPS
power metal gods!
They are awesome, but are only men.
Tony started to sing live REALLY good 2004 onward. 1999 - 2003 sounds... I don't know. He doesn't do it for me. There's this AMAZING 2004 recording of Wolf & Raven in Tavastia, and he sounds amazing, way better than here or Songs of Silence.
Where did you hear that 2004 Tavastia version? Can't find it anywhere :(
He was tired. If you listen to other Wolf & Raven's performances, like the medley Wolf & Raven / Fullmoon, here's the God. In Japan they made the great mistake of playing such a difficult song between the last ones. Sorry for my bad English, I'm still Italian and I'm very very sleepy xD
AND ALSO THE WOLF AND RAVEN SINGLE
I dunno man, I've seen em a few times live, and he sounded excellent.
Is this from the same concert as "Broken" and "San Sebastian"? Are there more vidoes from that concert??
Grandioso Tony!!! SA Rules!!
can they play this song nowadays xD? vocalist seems tired then, i cant imagine now xD anyway amazing song
Janii is the man!!! Shame that he is out of the band...
i think this version is in a different key than the album version
Good song xD.
Now tell me don't you think the face that Tony makes isn't funny on 1:10.
It is legendary but I give it to him he and SonatAArcticA RULE!!!!!
he wasnt fired he didnt fullfilled some duties in finland but since it was going to be for long they put him to rest until he could return without any remaining duties besides check in his myspace it say he will be back
Mikhail Ramos did he come back?
this song is from silence album
That looks exhausting
que buena banda
you mean when it looks like he rolls his eyes back...yeah that is funny
Jani liimatainen is the best!!!
Sonata Arctica Forever
awesome!!!
my favourite song *_* let's see the original video ;D
Pufff
3:24 -> 3:46 awsome
sounds like jani uses more guitar in this version its really cool this way
Que Canción más difícil de interpretar 😮
@Prdrums21 Dude, check out some of the "For the Sake of Revenge" stuff, or the newer Live in Finland stuff, or Wacken "Replica" and many others. Tony is amazing live.
en chile
well I love this song but I don't understand what he said.
@MetalheadedMcLovin51 hes looking like that always
iN 2:59 GOOD CONTRATIEMPO
@juanitoluengo On the album bass starts on the As tone, but here it starts on the Fis tone... It's much lower... Still think the vocalist is great? ;-)
Janiiiiiii!!!!!
Guitarra arregaça demais.
A esta banda la conocí viendo one piece :v
i know it's hard to pull off such awesome vocals live, but this is not the best ive seen.
Jani is 9ODLIKE. OH SHIT!!
Weird Al ftw!
It is transposed downer!!!
I thought exactly the same. xD
whats it here about the singer? he's awesome, and way better then all those crappy metal singers that can only scream and grunt.
Where is this video from? Looks like a DVD..
Y tienes toda la razon en eso, de hecho lo mas atractivo de Sonata es la guitarra y el teclado, el resto como que hace bien la pega nomas
De hecho en este género del metal el instrumento que lleva todo es la batería, los demás son adornos musicales fantásticos como dices tú. Saludos.
realmente canta como el pico en las presentaciones en vivo. pense que era un rumor noma
No sé si me equivoco pero Tony está cantando bien, es el que le está haciendo los coros el que está muy fuera de tono.
@WertzuHun You know, he is out of band since his problems with civil duties ;)
0:48 how I look at chicken nuggets
jani is fucking monster :3
hehehe!!! ;)
@LegendaryxEyes I trust him.....xD
damn the keyboardist comes out as a badass in this video lmao
They need at least one chorist more with no instruments except the mic !
ok the are god but I think the are ``mejor``xd in mp3 that in live :S
at least they are better than nickleback XD
ok heres my opinion, they DO alot better than dragonforce live. but honesly.. if your gonna make a song on your album thats so high you cant match the pitch live. then just make it a lower pitch to begin with.. and its not just sonata arctica that does this, alot of power metal bands do this.. it annoys me..

And it's not just that it's lower and angrier, he legitimately misses notes a lot here, regardless of key
Oh well, still amazing, still love 'em. Seeing them live for the first time in April ^^
How was it, seeing them live?
doin sets that take a good few hours to set up and then perform more than once to different fans on different nights while trying to give it 100% the whole time its gotta be pretty fuckin streefull :S im not surprised the singing's a bit off... but then again i would be so be up the guitarist's are searching for his source of power lol
lml sonata arctica is a good group is the best in this genre, but is also dragonforce
the keyboardist looks like sam totman
im fan of sonata but i think toni´s live performances are very poor, when he can´t sing a high note he screem but i like it anywhere
Bella canzone ma secondo me non è tanto da live, troppe sovrapposizioni nella versione da studio che non si possono rendere nel live.
damn right, except you can't REALLY compare stuff like caviar with shit about which tastes better :)
Dragon forcer cover
JANI LIIMATAINEN THE BEST
