Tony and the entire Sonata Arctica band are better live. They feed off the crowd energy and provide a much more emotionally connected delivery. This can be heard live and seen even in the still photography I have shot as a freelance concert photographer
Pretty sure this was the original album recording from 1999. That's quarter of a century ago and Tony's been only getting better. And their new album releasing in just a few months will be back to their roots, meaning the sale style of music as this was. Stoked big time!
Fun fact is that when this is performed live, the audience already knows that they're singing part of the chorus... Tony will always do the "... open door!" and point to the crowd, and we all sing "Run away run away run away" :D
I love Fullmoon and I really love Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust 😊 I did manage to see Sonata Artica live during their tour for the album The Ninth Hour and they were just as fantastic live.
Sonata arctica are a fantastic band, seen them live a few times... yes he can sing live. Try a song by theirs called Paid in Full, it'll really show off Tony's voice.
Finally some Sonata Arctica! So many great songs I can recommend - Replica, San Sebastian, My Selene, Blank File, Flag In The Ground, Victoria's Secret, Last Amazing Grays just to name a few off the top of my head.
This has been one of my absolutely favorite songs for the past 23 years. First saw them when they toured in the Netherlands with Stratovarius in 2000. They were the opening act and I was truly blown away by them, I've been following them ever since. I saw them a few years later in Belgium and the mood in the room was just completely electric. When they played Full Moon we all just went mad, entirely enthralled by the music. I have never experienced anything like that since, absolutely fantastic. I'm very happy to see that you've come to revisit this ❤ and give it a bit of the love it still very much deserves.
One of my favourite European metal songs! As others have pointed out, this isn't the official music video, rather an AMV (anime music video) made by fans from footage from Vampire Hunter D.
I discovered the band with this amv in october 2021.....i was 17 this song.....this damn song hit me i was like damn as a metalhead who got into metal with power metal this band quickly became one of my favorites ever (the first album ecliptica is such a masterpiece silence, reckoning night, winterheart's guild to name a few are sooooo so gooooooood i fell into the sonata arctica rabbit hole with this amv so it means a lot to me plus vampire hunter D bloodlust is soooo kino)
I first discovered Sonata Arctica in 2002 at the end of high school. I am now almost 39. Kakko and the band connects us all. Keep rockin on! Metalheads unite.
God I love that instead of listening to the song on their channel you picked the fan made Vampire Hunter D AMV, the best possible way to enjoy the song, there are no better way to experience it
I still remember the first time I listened to Sonata Arctica, it was a time when nothing new was happening around music for me, and it blew my mind immediately !! Then many years laters it happened again, this time with Dynazty. Ahhh, music is the best thing in life !
Loved this one, Sonata Arctica have a special connection with wolves, they have a lot of songs about them. I'd love if you react to more songs by them, White pearl, black oceans for example is a masterpiece with one of the best storytelling in metal I have ever heard.
I remember stumbling on this song yeeaaars ago. Growing up I was always the kid who wasn't that well rounded when it came to music or had anything to add in the music classes, didn't keep up with genres and such, never thought much of music as I thought nothing out there was my type of music. I enjoyed soundtracks in games or movies, but no band. Then when I must've been 18 this came up in my recommended on old youtube and my thought was "This... this is my genre", power metal, fantasy metal, melodic metal, opera metal like Nightwish. It opened a whole wide door. A bit of funny (and for me personally cringy) trivia was I was playing WoW at the time, new race was worgen that'd come out, werewolf people. I'd switched over to it and that's when I got recommended this and it stuck with me extra with how fitting it was for my character and just that mood I was in. Always loved werewolves as a kid so why both the game race and this song gripped me.
I heard Tony Kakko's voice in SA for the first time in high school '06 and ive adored them ever since. Everyone in that band is so versatile and amazing. Cheers Beth!
epic song by sonata arctica! Tony had such a classic power metal voice also he did a collab with tarja when she still in nightwish you should check out their song called beauty and the beast live.
Love hearing you describing how vocals work. Ive done rock band vocals for years and have no idea how it works, just that i do it lol. Also, love me some Sonata Arctica.
The first time I heard Sonata Arctica was at a festival in my home town. The first two or three songs there were no sound on the mic. Still have the signed CD in my collection.
Btw, wolf has more minor role in Finnish Mythology than other Nordic ones, as Finnish Bear is way more important. In Finnish mythology all Finnish People have either Bear or Moose as their ancestor, wolf is just pest like fox etc...
Since Christmas is closing in I'd like to suggest for you to check out a band/project called "Raskasta Joulua", directly translated to Heavy Christmas. 😁 Raskasta Joulua gathers a good amount of Finnish metal vocalists together (and some foreign quests too) to sing traditional christmas songs but with a heavy metal twist 😉 They've done few albums over the years and every christmas they go on tour all over Finland, I'm yet to see them live myself but I definitely will one day! You'll be seeing the names of Marco Hietala and Tony Kakko in there for example, along with many awesome finnish vocalists. Also Elize Ryd of Amaranthe has been a regular singer there too. In recent years even Tarja Turunen and Floor Jansen have made appearances on their live shows too.
Oh, look, a Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust AMV. I caught that in theaters, a one-night, one-show only, super limited release back in, late 2002 I think. on a big screen.
Hello beautiful Beth. I hope you are very well enjoy the music and your day yo no hay Never heard before this Band I never heard about it but I like it they sound very good the singing is very good thank you thank you beautiful bring a lot beautiful music🌷🌷
If you really wanna hear what Tony can do with his voice you should listen to "Draw me" live from Satama Open Air, Kemi Finland. Or White Pearl Black Ocean from the same show.
Man, Sonata Arctica was such a huge part of my childhood, love this reaction! - do yourself a favor and listen to the live recording on the "For the sake of Revenge" album! its great:D
the video is not made for the song. I am not an anime fan, but Vampire Hunter D holds a special place in my life, as does Sonata Arctica.The clips from the movie fit the song too well. Hat off to the person that made this video mix.
Sonata Arctica is all about the wolf songs 😁 my current favourite is Among Shooting Stars. And it was so strange to listen to the original Fullmoon, because I'm so used to the live version and Tony's performance has developed so much from the original.
Hi Beth, if you like Floor And Simone ? you want to discover a new rabbit hole ? In this case and song with Floor and Simone and 9 other main singers. Its only 13 min. sort :) Then check Ayreon with; The Day That The World Breaks Down after that do Everybody Dies (also with Floor) LIVE I think after you have seen these you want more and more and more !!! You did just one reaction, but there's a lot more !
the anime is a movie called "Vampire Hunter D bloodlust" and this is the unofficial music video for fullmoon. the 2 things actually have nothing to do with each other outside of this fan edit video
Everyone falls for that AMV when listening to Sonata Arctica the first time, part of the band's popularity should be credited to the resposible of the video edit xD
Cool to see a song from Sa getting a review! Although the song is 24 years old, singer is still performing so its feels like a review of the starting version of Tony, instead of an 'in this moment' review. At least it's a positive review :p
I recommend sing in silence thallula 8th commandment, misery, victoria secret. There are more but for now those are the best vocally speaking in my opinion
This is how it began, new album just coming out ! Sonata Arctica was a big deal for me and my friends in the beginning. First four albums are special. Tony Kakko has very unique voice, there´s something in the color of his voice, that makes it stand out from the mass. Although, Georg Neuhauser from the band Serenity always reminds me of Kakko, which is a bit weird. Try Wolf & Raven someday, it is relentless !
I feel like Tony's vocals set Sonata Arctica apart from a lot of their power metal peers. Not that other singers in this genre are lacking anything, but Tony can do so much more with his voice than just metal... it's kind of like Freddie Mercury or something, he can really stretch out and do some very operatic (but not like... "faux" operatic, more genuine) storytelling and character portrayals. Later in their career, the band would get away a bit from their early power metal style and embrace a more progressive metal/hard rock kind of style and Tony's voice is really perfect for that. I feel like he'd be a perfect villain character on an Ayreon record or something. Arjen Lucassen needs to call him up. (I don't remember if you've ever reacted to any Ayreon, but if you haven't... get on it!)
I love your reaction video. You seem so sweet! Tony Kakko is a great singer! Sonata Arctica and a second band is my favorit bands. I wish you would do a reaction video for the other favorit band I have wich is Citizen Soldier. A band who sings about very importent things. Check out their song "Reason to live" or "buried Alive" or any other of their songs. They are life savers! Hugs from Sweden!
Its mildly confusing that the song is about a werewolf, but the video here is from Vampire Hunter D, featuring a vampire and his love for a human woman.
Loved this band/sound from the start. Ther words, intensity of the orchestral music, Kakko's voice all create a nirvana of music..superb. I expected the Wolf and Raven because of your theme...another great song from Silence....Letter to Dana and Kingdom for a Heart are also outstanding from Ecliptica. A decade later I had this emotional kick off again the first time I listened to GVF! Wonderful, wonderful bands....such special talent ❤️. .....thanks, Beth!

React to Bad Things by I Prevail please!
I can't define how nostalgic it is. This song along with this AMV have been part of my life since my childhood. What a great choice, Beth!
was the first AMV i watched on YT back in the day xD
The AMV has become an official clip to the song. It's been 17 years and they have become inseparable.
@@stefantsarev4442 I watched Vampire Hunter D because of this AMV, and I still go back to it every once in a while.
I can verify that Tonys vocals are just as good, if not better, live.
I actually came to know this song from their live album, and that version is really great.
I learned that through For The Sake Of Revenge. One of my all time favorite performances!
Tony and the entire Sonata Arctica band are better live. They feed off the crowd energy and provide a much more emotionally connected delivery. This can be heard live and seen even in the still photography I have shot as a freelance concert photographer

although he has lost some of his high range with age. This song is 20 years old after all
Sonata Arctica, wonderful to get Finnish power metal into a reaction. Greetings from Finland! 🤘🏻😀
I'm from Canada but would love to visit Finland one day.
Why Finland has so many talented power metal bands?! I just fell in love with Sonata Arctica first time i heard Only The Brokne Hearts...
@@Theeight8b Our children start by listening to Hevisaurus, that's where it starts 😀🤘🏻
Speaking of Finnish bands, can we get her to react to HIM?
Fun fact is that when this is performed live, the audience already knows that they're singing part of the chorus... Tony will always do the "... open door!" and point to the crowd, and we all sing "Run away run away run away" :D
This AMV introduced me to power metal at 19. Nearly 20 years later it is still one of my favorite songs.
this song is incredible live, especially with some call and response in the chorus
Yeah, this is one of the rare songs I prefer the live versions of. Probably in part due to hearing the live version first.
I love Fullmoon and I really love Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust 😊
I did manage to see Sonata Artica live during their tour for the album The Ninth Hour and they were just as fantastic live.
Sonata arctica are a fantastic band, seen them live a few times... yes he can sing live. Try a song by theirs called Paid in Full, it'll really show off Tony's voice.
Sonata arctica is my all time favourite band in terms of singing etc.
Finally some Sonata Arctica! So many great songs I can recommend - Replica, San Sebastian, My Selene, Blank File, Flag In The Ground, Victoria's Secret, Last Amazing Grays just to name a few off the top of my head.
Dont forget broken, the misery, last drop falls, my Land man.....this band is just so damn goooooood
Replica…yes. So great song.❤
This has been one of my absolutely favorite songs for the past 23 years. First saw them when they toured in the Netherlands with Stratovarius in 2000.

One of my top 10 concerts I’ve ever been to. And they played at a small club in Tempe, Arizona since it was one of the first time in the US.
This song hits SO HARD live! Seen them a few times over the years, and GOD how people go insane when they play this one.
The early Sonata stuff are classics for me. Tony is one of the best
I remember stumbling on this song yeeaaars ago. Growing up I was always the kid who wasn't that well rounded when it came to music or had anything to add in the music classes, didn't keep up with genres and such, never thought much of music as I thought nothing out there was my type of music.

the quality of this band is even better in live perfomances...
😀
Man! I haven't heard this song for SO long, I'm like 17 again. Great reaction, and great song choice :)
I'm so glad when someone reacts to my favorite band of all time! hail sonata artica!!
I heard Tony Kakko's voice in SA for the first time in high school '06 and ive adored them ever since. Everyone in that band is so versatile and amazing. Cheers Beth!
I had never heard of them when I ended up at an concert of their's and this is one the two songs that really stood by since...
Live it was amazing!
epic song by sonata arctica! Tony had such a classic power metal voice also he did a collab with tarja when she still in nightwish you should check out their song called beauty and the beast live.
Love hearing you describing how vocals work. Ive done rock band vocals for years and have no idea how it works, just that i do it lol. Also, love me some Sonata Arctica.

The first time I heard Sonata Arctica was at a festival in my home town. The first two or three songs there were no sound on the mic. Still have the signed CD in my collection.
"wolf and raven" is 1 of my favs of theirs
oh god yes
FINALLY the best band in the world under analysis.
Epic rain sound at the end.
Is that thumbnail from Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust?
yes it is, one of the best amv, along with san sebastian with wolf's rain
Thank you Beth. Your video is amazing .
Your explanation was easy to understand.
So glad!
Btw, wolf has more minor role in Finnish Mythology than other Nordic ones, as Finnish Bear is way more important. In Finnish mythology all Finnish People have either Bear or Moose as their ancestor, wolf is just pest like fox etc...

We need another Sonata Arctica review but live
SYMPHONIC HEROIC FANTASY...🎙🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🔥🔥🔥
Check them out live. One of the ballads. The Misery or Last Drop Falls 🤘
Classic power metal hymn, bravo for reaction.
“Until the Last Drop Falls” has some really cool vocals.
Yup, that song's chorus hit me very hard with that such powerful voice Tony has.
You are The Best Beth!
Tallulah live on YLE
Tony being Tony.
Sonata Arctica are my favourite band. I love all of them.
The song is incredible always has been and always will be. The amv is just making me want to watch vampire hunter d again.
That rain hits hard, but at least it covers my tears. Beautiful song.🥲❤
The nostalgia, damn. Last time I heard this must have been like 15 years ago.
The End of this Chapter by Sonata is a must listen!
One of the few CDs I ever bought
Yes! Also, Peacemaker, Tallulah, Last drop falls, Victoria's secret..
Oh, look, a Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust AMV. I caught that in theaters, a one-night, one-show only, super limited release back in, late 2002 I think. on a big screen.
For wolf themed songs, you HAVE to do The Cage next!!!
there's another song on that album called destruction preventer where he does some vocal gymnastics.
Hello beautiful Beth. I hope you are very well enjoy the music and your day yo no hay Never heard before this Band I never heard about it but I like it they sound very good the singing is very good thank you thank you beautiful bring a lot beautiful music🌷🌷
Yei! Sonata!
If you really wanna hear what Tony can do with his voice you should listen to "Draw me" live from Satama Open Air, Kemi Finland. Or White Pearl Black Ocean from the same show.
Que momento! Música me lembra quando adolescente tocando em bandas de Metal!
Sonata Arcaica - Last drop falls
Sonata Arctica - letter to danna live in Helsinki, the Best live version
Man, Sonata Arctica was such a huge part of my childhood, love this reaction! - do yourself a favor and listen to the live recording on the "For the sake of Revenge" album! its great:D
Oh you HAVE to check out live version of ''The Misery'' by sonata arctica!
the video is not made for the song. I am not an anime fan, but Vampire Hunter D holds a special place in my life, as does Sonata Arctica.The clips from the movie fit the song too well. Hat off to the person that made this video mix.

Sonata Arctica is all about the wolf songs 😁 my current favourite is Among Shooting Stars. And it was so strange to listen to the original Fullmoon, because I'm so used to the live version and Tony's performance has developed so much from the original.
Definitly check out Sonata Arctica's "The Cage". Beautiful song about a caught and caged wolf that sings to you and wants to be set free.
Quería volver a escuchar este amv y me encuentro una reacción ,realmente inesperado para un vídeo de hace más de 17 años
Amazing beautiful, thank you
Hi Beth, if you like Floor And Simone ? you want to discover a new rabbit hole ? In this case and song with Floor and Simone and 9 other main singers.

Yeah, Sonata \m/
Lol, I never saw Vampire Hunter D matched with this song, but I'm all up for that combo!
Worthy song to react to ❤
you should also listen: Mary Lou and Letter to dana, so beautifull ballads
I LOVE sonata ártica please watch still lovin you ( Scorpions cover) by sonata ártica
Everyone falls for that AMV when listening to Sonata Arctica the first time, part of the band's popularity should be credited to the resposible of the video edit xD
Great song.. great band.. and great movie ^^
Kakko is the best power metal singer ever IMO. Him and Hansi from Blind Guardian.
Savatage has a song called Hounds about being on the Moors
Had to download Vampire Hunter D because thi video, even when I have it as DVD (but the copy is packed away and in storage...)
Tony kakko is the voice for power metal excellence ❤
They do an incredible cover of Metallica's "Fade to Black"
Cool to see a song from Sa getting a review! Although the song is 24 years old, singer is still performing so its feels like a review of the starting version of Tony, instead of an 'in this moment' review. At least it's a positive review :p
I recommend sing in silence
thallula
8th commandment, misery, victoria secret. There are more but for now those are the best vocally speaking in my opinion
Please hear "Wolf and Raven" from Sonata arctica. Its so beautiful
Impresionante vídeo parece que la protagonista del mismo es la bella Beth ❤ y la canción de diez. Bien señorita Beth 👏👏🍀🍀
Eyy, something I grew up with. This and Stratovarius...and Yngwie Malmsteen.
FINALLY!!!!!
This is how it began, new album just coming out ! Sonata Arctica was a big deal for me and my friends in the beginning. First four albums are special. Tony Kakko has very unique voice, there´s something in the color of his voice, that makes it stand out from the mass. Although, Georg Neuhauser from the band Serenity always reminds me of Kakko, which is a bit weird. Try Wolf & Raven someday, it is relentless !
I feel like Tony's vocals set Sonata Arctica apart from a lot of their power metal peers. Not that other singers in this genre are lacking anything, but Tony can do so much more with his voice than just metal... it's kind of like Freddie Mercury or something, he can really stretch out and do some very operatic (but not like... "faux" operatic, more genuine) storytelling and character portrayals. Later in their career, the band would get away a bit from their early power metal style and embrace a more progressive metal/hard rock kind of style and Tony's voice is really perfect for that.
I feel like he'd be a perfect villain character on an Ayreon record or something. Arjen Lucassen needs to call him up. (I don't remember if you've ever reacted to any Ayreon, but if you haven't... get on it!)
Good Song and good Movie 🙂
Studio versions are always enhanced. You should go for the live version.
Try their song “White pearl black oceans (live in kemi)” outstanding performance
The rain was a sign 😉
You gotto to do Angra's TIME song (Andre Mattos), it will blow you to the roof top
BETH ROARS kiitos from Finland. Ex Nightwish TARJA New Album - Dark Christmas Out Now. O`Holy Night official video.
I love your reaction video. You seem so sweet! Tony Kakko is a great singer! Sonata Arctica and a second band is my favorit bands. I wish you would do a reaction video for the other favorit band I have wich is Citizen Soldier. A band who sings about very importent things. Check out their song "Reason to live" or "buried Alive" or any other of their songs. They are life savers!
Hugs from Sweden!
Its mildly confusing that the song is about a werewolf, but the video here is from Vampire Hunter D, featuring a vampire and his love for a human woman.
Loved this band/sound from the start. Ther words, intensity of the orchestral music, Kakko's voice all create a nirvana of music..superb. I expected the Wolf and Raven because of your theme...another great song from Silence....Letter to Dana and Kingdom for a Heart are also outstanding from Ecliptica. A decade later I had this emotional kick off again the first time I listened to GVF! Wonderful, wonderful bands....such special talent ❤️. .....thanks, Beth!
That rain is coming down.
