I Love this song so much, not only is it fantastically awesome. It also seems to unite most of those people who would normally be arguing on other nightwish videos over who is better, tarja or anette. And I love this song for that. I hope that nightwish carry on to produce more songs like this one, where no one can argue as the song is simply too awesome for that sorta rubbish to take place. :)
Awesome!!!! Anette rules!!! Tuomas is as creative as ever and it's all good. Tarja is doing beautifully with her solo career and Nightwish is still doing well. Smile and be happy!
Actually, she is singing it live. If you listen closely, there are some subtle differences between her singing here and in the studio recording. Like "withOUT", "torn (breath) apart", and "STILL the SAME old song" and her
I adore this song so much it's ridiculously awesome. But I swear even though im not epileptic, a Nightwish concert can sure come close to causing epilepsy lol. When I had frontsies in LA, I was like "Bright light bright light! Flashing bright as hell light! BURNING" I wonder how they make it on stage...well it might be easier since they'ren ot looking straight at the strobe lights haha. Anywho off subject. LOVE this song!
I am not comparing their energy after this video!!!.... I have seen Tarja live 2 times and Anette 2 times!!! The crowd was more wild with Tarja both times because she was delivering more and was motivating the audience with her stage pressents and amazing movements!..Anette was always walking slowly and moving har hands...the audience only got wild when she was telling them to..Tarja dident need to because everyone could read her with her movements and Energy!
Tarja has got a more... let me think... 'powerful' voice, but Anette's voice has got so much emotions, Tarj'as voice sounds always the same. Totally agree with you!
If you are a true Nightwish fan, then you know that Tarja WANTED to leave Nightwish. She was upset with HOW Nightwish dismissed her from the band, not at that fact that they dismissed her. I've seen interviews where she she said herself she was ready to leave. I wouldn't want her to come back to Nightwish because the Tarja I would want has died and moved onto better things that make HER happy. Anette is actually happy with herself and the band and you can tell, which is very important ;)
AND.......she sings quite different live from the studio version in Poet and the Pendulum...in the ballad part it sounds like she is lost but she isent..she is doing it on purpuse with falshe notes
@psyclown666 well that's your opinion and i respect that... but just that u know, Anette is clearly a soprano, she's not a classical singer though. And when it comes to her live performances... then she became so much better in 2009, there she was amazing but i can agree that in 2007 and 2008 she wasn't great live all the time :P
I saw them at Academy in Birmingham UK, this and Last of the Wilds with Troy Donockley got the best reaction, at least from where I was lol - the cheers/singing along nearly drowned out the band :p
@Farfetnoogen Actually I am 24 lol I was just wondering I had a female vocalist a while back who had a hard time singing high too lol what Boggels my mind are the guys with deep deep voices who can sing very high
"ok guys, we've reached the point, here in the show of Nightwish, where we let Mr Holopainen tell you a bit about his life, and the doom of it. I think he's killing himself behind my bass cambinets right now, but he'll come back from the dead and play this song alive for you again, you'll see."
Lols @ drumtheheck.............banana mic. Never thought of it like that before. Tarja and the banana Mic. Tarja should call herself that. Tarja and the banana mic might catch on. help improve her solo career. Anette You RULE GIRL!!!!! I LOVE ANETTE OLZON!!!! Not forgetting Tuomas + Emppu LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
esta canción es un obra de arte, y Annette no es que cante mal de hecho la voz es dulce y bonita, simplemente no es una copia de Tarja, que era mucho más impactante porque era mezzosoprano lírica, en cambio Annette es una soprano y sinceramente creo que ella es buena, pero no para Nightwish porque sus composiciones son para una mezzosoprano. No es culpa de ella, simplemente fue una mala decisión :/ Las canciones no se escuchan igual
Tarja was amazing and yes I would have to say I liked her voice a little better but Anette is also amazing. If They had come out with Annette first people would be just as mad if they let her go for Tarja. all and all an Amazingly great band with Tarja or Annette
@gorgonzae Listen to me, I am one of the biggest nightwish/tarja fans ever existed. I know all their songs, lyrics, details in their music. I just wanted to make clear Tarja does not walk alone and she isn't dead. She is very alive in her music and has alot of fans. So stop offending me.
I used to looove this band. Then I realized their music is as cheesy as all hell. then I realized... wait a minute, I listen to fuckin' Rhapsody. So now after a bit I've come to like them again. Especially with Anette. Hopefully they really make use of her different vocal style on the new one they got cookin'.
frikirocker tienes razón, Tarja no es mazzospprano lírica, es soprano lírica, mi confusión se debe a que me parecía que Tarja puede cantar registros tanto graves y agudos, pero tiene una voz muuuuuuucho más académica que Annette, que también es soprano, pero no tienen tanta amplitud como para cantar música clásica, aunque con práctica podría alcanzar registros más altos
Haha I can't beleive so many people are suddenly going off them just because Tarja left. They wouldn't have taken anett on if she wasn't up for it. Which from this she clearly is
You can't know it for sure ;-) So stop talking about that. Only Tuomas knows for sure what his songs means. And i dont think they hated her. Thay hated marcelo and they vere angry to tarja. It is what i think, not a fact
Anette is totally awsome here! love her singing.
And this song is on of Nightwish best songs.
Really a Masterpiece
Wow, her voice has improved since she first joined nightwish!
Love both the ladies, but she has really nailed this song live here! gives me chills.
I Love this song so much, not only is it fantastically awesome. It also seems to unite most of those people who would normally be arguing on other nightwish videos over who is better, tarja or anette. And I love this song for that. I hope that nightwish carry on to produce more songs like this one, where no one can argue as the song is simply too awesome for that sorta rubbish to take place. :)
"The end"...
Jesus, I get goosebumps whenever I hear the beginning of the song.
Una de las mejores canciones de Nightwish!!!
Love that song!!!!!!! Perfect music......great voice....and I actually love Anette`s outfit this time. :)
if you can write songs like this, then your a fricking musical genius
Thanks, thanks for all Wacken videos!!!
I was here!!!
She sounds amazing. Good for her!!!
Awesome!!!! Anette rules!!! Tuomas is as creative as ever and it's all good. Tarja is doing beautifully with her solo career and Nightwish is still doing well. Smile and be happy!
Her voice is amazing!!!
Wow! I never saw Anette singing live.. Very very good!!
thank you so much for uploading this!
this song is amazing..
Anette, beautiful voice
Breathtaking !! Anette's voice is grate but she looks so tired !!
Best Nightwish song.
The best Nighwish song yet.
Actually, she is singing it live. If you listen closely, there are some subtle differences between her singing here and in the studio recording. Like "withOUT", "torn (breath) apart", and "STILL the SAME old song" and her

Anywho off subject. LOVE this song!
"nawet nawet" to było piękne !!
I dont see too much chemic between Emppu and Anette voices, but they turned in something like a sunset after a cold rainy day that I really LOVED!
i like her, she's amazing.
I remember that song playing in my head while I was reading the Hogwarts Battle x) it just fit so perfectly
anette performs this song beautifully.,.. the whole band does :)
nightwish is the best bnd ever!!!!!!!
wow they sound great in live
wow they sound great at live
now... THIS is music!
I am not comparing their energy after this video!!!.... I have seen Tarja live 2 times and Anette 2 times!!!

Really a Rock Song for Anettes Voice fits perfect to her.
Tarja has got a more... let me think... 'powerful' voice, but Anette's voice has got so much emotions, Tarj'as voice sounds always the same. Totally agree with you!
i wish they come to MALAYSIA.. don't care tarja or annete as long it bears the mark NIGHTWISH..dammm so good
I love Both Tarja And Anette.
you're listening to the new nightwish album dark passion place and this song is called the poet and the pendulum
A master piece! not many people who can wright shit like this!
If you are a true Nightwish fan, then you know that Tarja WANTED to leave Nightwish. She was upset with HOW Nightwish dismissed her from the band, not at that fact that they dismissed her. I've seen interviews where she she said herself she was ready to leave. I wouldn't want her to come back to Nightwish because the Tarja I would want has died and moved onto better things that make HER happy. Anette is actually happy with herself and the band and you can tell, which is very important ;)
I think I am in love...
AND.......she sings quite different live from the studio version in Poet and the Pendulum...in the ballad part it sounds like she is lost but she isent..she is doing it on purpuse with falshe notes
@psyclown666 well that's your opinion and i respect that... but just that u know, Anette is clearly a soprano, she's not a classical singer though.

I would love to see a live performace with an orcastra and choir!
I saw them at Academy in Birmingham UK, this and Last of the Wilds with Troy Donockley got the best reaction, at least from where I was lol - the cheers/singing along nearly drowned out the band :p
sooooooooo true
@ForsakenTheWeirdo
i always like live more than recordings, as you said, they are more epic *O*
@Farfetnoogen Actually I am 24 lol I was just wondering I had a female vocalist a while back who had a hard time singing high too lol what Boggels my mind are the guys with deep deep voices who can sing very high
"ok guys, we've reached the point, here in the show of Nightwish, where we let Mr Holopainen tell you a bit about his life, and the doom of it. I think he's killing himself behind my bass cambinets right now, but he'll come back from the dead and play this song alive for you again, you'll see."
@tzalnar That wasn't her singing on the album - it was the boy soprano.
3:45 Awesome!
how come they never performed the escapist live?? thats an awesome song and Anette is awesome
Yes, Tuomas is. Did ever hear The Carpenter?
ah, that makes sense. now i hear it
Lols @ drumtheheck.............banana mic. Never thought of it like that before. Tarja and the banana Mic. Tarja should call herself that. Tarja and the banana mic might catch on. help improve her solo career.
Anette You RULE GIRL!!!!! I LOVE ANETTE OLZON!!!! Not forgetting Tuomas + Emppu LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
I love from 3:10 - 3:14 , skaking head is great
pls come to colombia!!!!!! pls pls pls!!!!
@Rafiki27 that would be fucking awesome!! And the best thing is that htey will probably do it on their next tour! :)
LMFAO!
brilliant. :P
This is official, Poet and the Pendulum has replaced Blind Guardian's "Otherland" as the most epic song I've ever heard.
i really would like to see NW preform this song with an actual orchestra
The Best of the Best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@G0th4ki
Emppu doesn't sing. It's Marco who sings male vocals in Nightwish.
Annete is freaking hot and yes this is an epic song
@tzalnar It is boy soprano, I don't know this name.
Trust me. It wasn't Anette. :)
esta canción es un obra de arte, y Annette no es que cante mal de hecho la voz es dulce y bonita, simplemente no es una copia de Tarja, que era mucho más impactante porque era mezzosoprano lírica, en cambio Annette es una soprano y sinceramente creo que ella es buena, pero no para Nightwish porque sus composiciones son para una mezzosoprano. No es culpa de ella, simplemente fue una mala decisión :/ Las canciones no se escuchan igual
Tarja can sing just like on album, Anette little screaming on live
"loose some weight cause she has definately got fater" :D :D
I can't believe what you are saying. You like skeletors?!
Tarja was amazing and yes I would have to say I liked her voice a little better but Anette is also amazing. If They had come out with Annette first people would be just as mad if they let her go for Tarja. all and all an Amazingly great band with Tarja or Annette
@gorgonzae
Just look at what he said. He claims tarja decided to walk alone and to die alive, and that she's gone. She's the opposite of that!
Nice voice range I gotta say!
Marco Hietala is amazing..
I wish all Tarjaists would be that open minded. Thumbs up
@gorgonzae
Listen to me, I am one of the biggest nightwish/tarja fans ever existed. I know all their songs, lyrics, details in their music. I just wanted to make clear Tarja does not walk alone and she isn't dead. She is very alive in her music and has alot of fans. So stop offending me.
Is there a video where they play the demo of this song, where Marco sings it entirely?
I used to looove this band. Then I realized their music is as cheesy as all hell. then I realized... wait a minute, I listen to fuckin' Rhapsody.
So now after a bit I've come to like them again. Especially with Anette. Hopefully they really make use of her different vocal style on the new one they got cookin'.
@tzalnar no a seven year old boy sings the begining cause tuomas had to edit some words to make it fit the boy its def not annette
still you see anette walk on stage during the strobe lights
If i had to do that i'd probably trip o.o
@MrLondongreek he is singing too u know? -.- just the secondary voice
I would like to hear Tarja singing this song
frikirocker tienes razón, Tarja no es mazzospprano lírica, es soprano lírica, mi confusión se debe a que me parecía que Tarja puede cantar registros tanto graves y agudos, pero tiene una voz muuuuuuucho más académica que Annette, que también es soprano, pero no tienen tanta amplitud como para cantar música clásica, aunque con práctica podría alcanzar registros más altos
Just one question, does she sings the first part of the song ? uhmmm I don't think so :/
How do they play those instruments during the strobe lights? I'd get seizures!
what is he doing behind the bass cabinets?
Haha I can't beleive so many people are suddenly going off them just because Tarja left.
They wouldn't have taken anett on if she wasn't up for it.
Which from this she clearly is
I prefer Anette, but I like Tarja too. (It's my choice).
I like this song.
MMMMM JUKKA!
iOwn the DVD
Just wondering, isn't the statement that Tuomas was in love with Tarja just a theory? I've never heard any kind of%
YOU GOT A DATE NEXT WEDNSDAY!
@frauenflugzeug I agree, but that fight club glove...
I miss Anette :(
@k1ngac1k That's just like, your opinion man.
well, what are the right words? Just curiouse.
You can't know it for sure ;-) So stop talking about that. Only Tuomas knows for sure what his songs means. And i dont think they hated her. Thay hated marcelo and they vere angry to tarja. It is what i think, not a fact
ok my bad they did do it live :P
i actually dont like anette, i prefer tarja, but THIS is really awesome :O
1:22... it doesn't load after that. :(
Anete się poprawia to było nawet nawet
Best Nightwish song yet. Fucking unbelievable.
@EddieWouldG0
