Yes. Saw them with Maiden in Columbus, Ohio during the LOTB tour in 2022. Awesome show. My daughters became huge Within Temptation fans that night, as well as myself.
Like a lot of you I discovered Within Temptation 20 years ago through The Silent Force when I was around 13 or 14 years old. I've been a huge fan of their music and the different dimensions they've explored throughout their different records ever since. As a teenager I was very naive and more concerned about my appearance and other people's opinion than our political issues, the environment, the wars and its injustices that was actually already all around us... but when I first listened to Mother Earth I remember staying cooped up in my room for weeks, learning about climate changes, the conservation of different plants and animals species, the impact we have on all this and what we can do to make things better. That's how they stole my heart and carried it away to an existence more aware of past and present problems and of the importance - as Sharon so aptly put it - of choosing one's battles. Through The Heart of Everything, The Unforgiving, Hydra, Resist and of course Bleed Out, they continued to open my eyes to the reality of the world and the "not always beautiful" society in which we live, without ever falling into pessimism. They're not just a music band to me, they are a pure source of inspiration and bravery. It takes a lot of both for publicly standing in front of the world and pinpoint what's wrong in it. I'll never be able to express how grateful I am to them for changing my life twenty years ago in my little and messy teenage bedroom. Thank you for everything you've done and will do. All my love and support to Ukraine!
Sharon, I'm a Ukrainian living in the US, I am your huuuuge admirer since 2003 or so, I attended all your concerts around MA, thank you so much for supporting Ukraine!
Saw Within Temptation live in Stereo Plaza almost a decade ago, and it was the very first rock concert of a foreign band I had ever visited. WT is the reason I have become so into metal, my roommate was a huge fan of the band and I started listening to them, too. All of my memories keep you near.
Sharon is the sweetest. I've been a fan for ages. Actually, my dad too, I showed him WT and he loved them too. We were together on WT's gigs in Kyiv twcie. We do hope we can see WT live again in our capital and other Ukrainian cities :) Like Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa! Thank you WT for your endless support!
I saw Within Temptation open for Iron Maiden October 3rd 2022 in Sioux Falls, SD. They blew me away. Im actually wearing my Within Temptation I got at that concert right now 😂
@@MetalPilgrim they were the best opening band I have seen for Maiden. Missed most of Ghosts set when they opened for them, and 3 times it was Steve's sons band The Raven Age. Obviously seeing them out at Power Trip was the best, and I already have Maiden tickets again for next October. Im excited to see who they announce will open for them.
@@Ice_Box_GymI saw Within Temptation on that tour as well. She seems like a nice person, but just couldn’t get into it. Nice voice but very little stage presence by her and the rest of the band. It was such a different feel from Maiden where Bruce just grabs you and demands attention. Within Temptation just most stood there and seemed boring by comparison, IMO. Maiden has been hit or miss with openers and it seems to be more miss lately. WT and Raven Age were pretty meh. Ghost was pretty good. Alice Cooper was good. Trying to remember the other openers I’ve seen in the US. Good - Motörhead, Dio, Halford, Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, Ghost. OK - Clutch, Queensryche, Within Temptation, Raven Age. Bad - Bullet For My Valentine. Really Bad - Lauren Harris (aside from Richie Faulkner on guitar when nobody knew who he was.
@@jerseytiger1980 Not really fair, they're the opener. Watch videos of them from the Worlds Collide Tour from just 2 months later where they're co headlining with Evanescence. Much better presence and stage sets
@@Mxulin I get it for the stage set, being the open it’s limited in scale, but I thought their stage was fine. However, I think the stage presence can be had even on the smallest of stages. They just weren’t very engaging or exciting. Maybe the music just doesn’t lend itself to being active or engaging. Like Ghost (and I’m not really a fan of them) were an opener and they seemed very lively in comparison. I don’t know, something just seemed missing to me. Maybe it was just a bad night.
Such a great interview! Sharon, thank you so much for supporting Ukraine, I remember watching you perform "The whole world is watching" to support us and I just couldn't hold back tears as, unfortunately, many artists I used to admire, turned a blind eye. Not only are you a great artist, but also an outstanding person. Thank you so much!
I even didn't knw that WT support Ukraine. Always listen their albums, but never last lives. Now I even more love this band! Thank you Sharon for this interview!
I remember when I was a kid I would listen to Ice Queen for weeks on end. Every time I hear anything about Within Temptation, it takes me back to those great days for a moment. But now for me it is not just a magical band that plays very high-quality and original music. Now, these are, first of all, the people who accepted this trouble of ours as their own and held our hands all this time. Exemplary people you want to be like. I have no words to express my gratitude, this support is very inspiring to fight on.

Top interview. Very good interviewer we think. We love Within Temptations brilliant lyrics and excellent sound. We have experienced the band many times. A concert with the band always have much energy and great atmosphere we think 🤘🎸
Thank you so much for such an amazing interview, and quite different, relaxed and interesting! Within Temptation, one of my favorite bands! They have kept releasing quality material for decades! Sharon’s voice is awe inspiring! Hopefully, WT will have a lengthy career as Maiden. By the way, they made such a wonderful pairing on tour, it’s one of those things that comes across naturally! Within Temptation forever!! Carry on!!!! Thank you, Pilgrim!
Sharon den Adel is amazing in every possible way ❤🔥It's painful to hear about some backlash when waving the Ukrainian flag in pro-Russian countries but that's what makes the band so uniquely brave. To do the right thing despite everything. Thank you for being true. Great interview.
I vividly remember incredible show Within Temptation on WOA-2019! It was one of brigtest pages that Rain-or-Shine days! Thanks to Sharon for supporting Ukraine! Hope to see she and her band again in peaceful future! Cheers Metal Pilgrim for a few minutes conversation with Sharon! It was such helpful while ruschist`s rocket attak in Odesa today.
@@Zorro_666 Maybe your dad is some neo-N@zi "Zorc" or Banderite in ukrainian army who didn't know how to raise you normally as an anti-f@scist, but in that case I think it's going to be "den@zified"! ;-) Slava Russia! Z! «Работайте, братья! :-)
I totally agree with Sharon, Art if its true art, has to reflect the current state of the Culture it was made in and for.. else it wont be Art no more...
Sharon said in a Dutch talking show that she likely will never perform in Russia due to her support for Ukraine. At least not for the next 10 years, Russian fans may have to swallow that reality depending how they alter their own situation over there. It really depends on the Russians.
Was looking for Dutch bands for a friend and Within Temptation was among 'em -Pestilence,God Dethroned,all that nice stuff. Aside from that,I have no experience with the band.
@@nilshult5115 Putin is respected and loved by his people, he is a legally elected president in his country, a large turnout in the elections and a large percentage of the votes won confirm this. If you in the West psychopathically hate him because of your propaganda, or for some of your Russophobic reasons, that's your problem. For you in the vile West (Your politicians), the main problem for you is not (only) Putin, but your senseless hatred of Russia and the Russians and in the direction of everything different from your lifestyle, a different religion and state organization, etc... On the other hand, interestingly, you don't mind that Ukraine has been turned into a proxy weapon against Russia by America and NATO, and you don't mind that it has been turned into a hateful (Anti Russian) neo-N@zi Fourth reich! (Since 2014.y., when this conflict began in Ukraine and in Donbass by the neo-N@zi and corrupt/puppet Ukr@inian regime!!)
@@nilshult5115 Btw., Banderites (fans of f@scist and war criminal Stepan Bandera, the "reincarnated hero of this modern Ukraine") are Ukrainian neo-N@zis and the Ukrainian regime (who have been in power there since 2014), first you educate yourself a little more, inform yourself and learn something from their history, and only then write something on the Internet, because in this way you present yourself as pathetic and miserable with your ignorance of history, as well as the present (and about everything what happened in Ukraine from 2014. to 2022., before the start of a special operation) and very well-known facts.
Those who think that musicians shouldn't be political is bullshit. Music has for many years also been very much associated with political, religious and social oppinions and the musicians has every right to express themselfs and what they stand for, no matter if we like it or not. If we don't like it, then we don't listen - that is our choice! Of course not all bands are political, but music is also a way, apart from the creative aspect a way to raise awareness of wrong and right in this world, and many bands has done so. Those who think that WT shouldn't do that are just those who supports Russia I would say, or those who are just sticking their hand in the sand. And Sharon is right - it is a 2 + 2 logic - a country attack another country, and of course you are going to support the country who hadn't done anything at all and not the agresssor. My wife who is Russian (but never lived in Russia under Putin) can figure that out and whole hearted supports Ukraine both in heart and actions through donations just like myself, whenever we can effort to do so. It is not a matter of which country attacks who. It is about opposing war and human caused tragedies and killing of innocent people, and respecting the integrity and independence of an international recoqnised country. Slava Ukraini!
Politics is part of rock music. Always has been (child in time, born in the USA, money, telegraph road, one, brothers in arms , … just to make a couple of completely irrelevant examples) and will always be. People who says that musicians should avoid talking about politics either doesn’t know a shit about rock music, or, more often, simply doesn't like those ideas (and that's why musicians should keep talking about politics)
