[@ayshaooms7223]

English translation: If you listen to this channel more often then you'll be used to this: we're gonna play some live music, we do that more often on Friday afternoons. Last month it was announced that symphonic metal band Epica around mezzo soprano Simone Simons had won the "Metropole Orkest met" contest (met means with) with over 650 artists competing. They got nearly 70.000 votes. Before you turn down the volume because of the term "symphonic metal" be rested, they're here in the studio in a acoustic ensemble with mezzo soprano Simone Simons, Isaac Delahaye as guitarist and Keyboard player Coen Janssen. Welcome all 3 of you, since you're a band we'll just listen to you first in this acoustic setting. Epica. Song 1 Live from the studio Epica- Beyond the matrix, thanks for coming. I'll just talk to Simone cuz she has the mic. You have won this contest with MO and will be collaborating, what will that be like? Simone: exciting, a great honor that we won, thanks to all the fans for voting. We're looking forward to it, it will take place in December. Host: What will you be doing, will you be recording something? Simone: yes we will be recording and existing song with them. Host: will it be released? Simone: yes Host: Isn't it that a highly unusual thing, to play with an orchestra? Simone: We've played live with a Hungarian orchestra before, and we also record with an orchestra. Host: so you're already a bit used to it.. but like I said, symphonic is different than acoustic, so usually you sound different? Simone: live we usually are with 6 people on stage, now with 3, also nice, the others are waiting for us in Zwolle where we'll be playing tonight. Touring with an entire orchestra is almost impossible. Host: Yeah I can imagine, you also went to America right? Simone: Yeah we toured there for a month, Canada and the U.S. we haven't been back for too long actually. Host: So tonight Zwolle which is sold out and tomorrow Haarlem, which is also sold out, you'd say you don't need my promotion anymore haha. Simone: Our last show in Nijmegen on Sunday hasn't been sold out yet. Host: now then people still can get tickets, your're doing really well; sold out concerts, tours in North America, you just released an E.P. the Solace System, is it still important to win these contests? simone: orchestra is an important part of our music so winning these little games are always fun to win Host: "small games" haha Simone: aside from the regular shows that we have, are these things milestones. We really like playing with orchestra. It's also fun to work with other Dutch people considering we are a Dutch band. We have one guy from Belgium in the band, Isaac the guitarist. Isaac: hey Host: haha we get to hear you as well. Let's listen a bit more and profit from this lighter version of Epica - Universal Death Squad song 2 Host: Live from the studio npo radio 1 Epica -audio stops-

[@M4DesignUSA]

Saw them in Los Angeles Sept 2017... Went to see Lacuna Coil (Great!), but also left as an EPICA Fan!!! ;-) Keyboard guy is a blast live.

[@JoeBetro]

This song is magic 🌟

[@tuulip11]

I somehow felt that the tempo was quite fast with Beyond the Matrix? Maybe just me haha. But thanks for uploading! Always a pleasure to hear these acoustic versions. :) Wonderful job, Simone, Coen and Isaac!

Great to sound :)

[@matmelkert2707]

Her voice ....................................................................................

[@alemolina508]

Que voz!!!! Para los que dicen que simone no se la banca en vivo y que debe irse de epica. Te amo sisi❤

[@LizethBaal]

Ale Molina en serio han dicho que se quiere ir de la banda? 😱

[@alemolina508]

Lizeth Carolina Perez Siii mucha gente quiere que se vaya de la banda. acá en Argentina por lo menos no están conforme. :(

[@VampyrMilena]

Ale Molina increíble que digan que se vaya de la banda. Yo no le veo Absolut nada de malo. Es una excelente artista, cantante. En los conciertos que he estado de ellos ella siempre tiene una voz perfecta. No entiendo a la gente

[@eduardogutierrez8598]

Como siempre...Argentina full of haters, al que no le guste que no la escuche y listo...Yo la escuche cantar Tides of times a capella y tiene tremenda voz. Aparte que escribe la mitad de las letras, no se...sacá cuentas...

[@alemolina508]

Eduardo Gutierrez también la vi en vivo. no tengo que sacar ninguna cuenta. sólo opino que estoy en desacuerdo con la gente que quiere que se vaya de la banda por que "ya no le da la voz" para mi es mi idola y la quiero en epica toda la vida.

[@Zaephyr168]

That version is called "Universal Love Squad" :D just so you know #TheAcousticPrinciple

[@MCSharQ]

MMJeMike i know ;). Thks.

[@Jo-Jo8vs]

what a voice, NL is gifted also having Floor Jansen, must be something in the water

[@fritsyt2090]

Oh yes and we have Charlotte Wessels, Dianne and Anneke van Giersbergen, Sharon de Adel, Zora Cock and Amira Willighagen. Well and Marcela Bovio drink also from our water on daily basis.

[@caesarvillalta5815]

i love simone

[@demeter1793]

That was "Beyond the Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Universal Love Squad" and thus not matrix and death

[@RammmFan]

This is Halloween. Floor Jansen covered Let It Go on Nov 14th. I think Simone and Floor need to cover a song together

[@eckhardt2006kugler]

The sign of a good band is to play their music also in acoustic ways. I mean this is not bad,i enjoyed it ....

[@sylvainduret9880]

💖

[@hablom1977]

I just started to listen to Epica. I really like their music but the songs make me sad for some reason..

[@Mattymayhem-vo9jl]

I love you simone

[@michelledelfino7613]

Thank you, the lovely person who uploaded the video

[@eduardogutierrez8598]

You have the option to activate the CC, traslate/english. The translate is horrible but at least you can guess what they are saying

[@ayshaooms7223]

I just posted a translation of what they said in the comments^^

[@Clokkemaker]

Ai meu coração!

Hoy en Madrid :-D

[@kenapaakudiblok3370]

Whatta beautiful face and voice~ My type hahahaha

[@MelWolff]

Ok, her voice is way better when she sings in low tones.

[@user-fi4ob5xx9c]

Melissa Med Hi🙂

[@isabelzamarripa3915]

Alguien sabe cómo se llama ésta canción ? por favor

[@SeventyGTX]

Like Sharon del Adel, she gets better with age.

[@EwertonSaes]

Simone Simons

[@fredsoul1]

Beyond the Jazzrix

[@patrickshelley09]

Why doesn't she have her headphones on backwards???

[@TMakkinga]

Top! Ik miste alleen de echte vibe tussen zangeres en gitaar. Gitaar iets te schel of net een toontje te laag of te hoog. Ietwat ongemakkelijk om te luisteren.

[@nemoethanstrayed2568]

Sleepy version of Universal Death Squad 😴

[@rocker4life318]

Simone Is much Better than Sharon

[@rhapsody1979]

Don't like Sharon either. Her voice is even more annoying.

[@jabrane1564]

lol

[@maryl4150]

No es tan flaquita como se ve en los recitales.. es más hermosa como se ve en este video!

[@carlospatino2475]

Mary L está buenísima la Simone mujer perfecta.

[@Supperbeta]

Bad choice of songs.

[@ruy16dakota]

2 songs which are included in the Holographic principle special edition, where there are in total 5 acoustic songs

[@4133EWvianen]

Not the best performance!!!

[@rhapsody1979]

I've never been a fan of Simone's voice. I can't stand it, it's too much annoying to my ears. When i listen to some of Epica's albums i try to focus my ears on the music, which is really good, by the way, specially in the last albums, and not on Simone's voice, cause otherwise it's impossible for me. One or two songs in a row, not a big deal, but a whole album?? no way!!

[@rhapsody1979]

Exactly!

[@Linker064]

you should listen Mayan. It's basicaly Epica without Simone. ;)

[@Goscalyon]

Give her a try in one of Ayreon's projects she sings differently there and I love her voice in those projects more. Even though I personal do like her voice most of the time :)

[@rhapsody1979]

i guess it's just a matter of taste, my friend.

[@rhapsody1979]

No man, thank you but i rather pass on that one. I listened to some of it and it sucks. Mark should focus just on the guitar and let the singing to someone who can actually sing.
