[@ChainGuN2]

When will people learn that a cover isn't suppose to sound 110% like the original? This is an excellent cover!

[@Raisetsuai]

They slaughtered nothing. This is an amazing cover.

[@SamehSaba]

Cant believe I’m here after 10 years listening to this masterpiece

[@Alkuteos]

Yes, they do make their own songs, but they also do make covers from some songs - as almost all bands do. So keep your mouth closed about things that you don't know a thing.

[@matthewmcclain8273]

R.I.P. Phil Lynott and Gary Moore. The world just ain't the same without 'em.

[@the1ndiegamer811]

This cover gave me the shiversm the orginigal is great and this is a great cover of that song. Compeltely worthy cover.

[@DorimiPrism]

I prefer preferring preferences about preferencing.

[@timrandall4319]

This is a worthy take on the original. The Hammond organ sound is a nice touch.

[@RubyMVmistress]

How have I not heard of this one til now. This one is soo good

[@XtremeCam]

Great cover for a great song. A true guitar hero was lost with Gary Moore's passing. This man could play whatever he set his mind to playing. RIP Gary Moore, you were a genius. Make that guitar cry and wail in heaven.

[@Metallikaputt]

@kjn5991@kjn5991 All songs from Metallica are meant to be played with guitars, bass, and drums. And Apocalyptica did a great job covering numerous songs, with 4 cellos. Moreover if the "Fields" intro studio version is meant to be played in "lead" guitar style (with string bendings, tremolo-bar and all), but if you type "Out In The Fields (Live) Sheffield" on youtube, you'll see that Moore himself broke the "rule" playing it with chords in a "rythmic" style.

Yay for Cowboy Bebop!

[@robertcasey966]

I prefer Gary moore

[@BNSFFREAK747]

Another Finnish band covering the great and Legendary Gary Moore? AMAZING! RIP Gary and nice job SA!!

[@hirschmeistr6842]

What’s the other Finnish band

[@helpme420jhshw]

@@hirschmeistr6842 Nightwish when they covered Over The Hills And Far Away 🙂

[@p3rs0n42]

@flyaway2magicland Gary wasn't with Sonata Arctica... he was with the original band who did this song (thin lizzy) Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if this song was his own or Thin Lizzy's but all the same, he was the guitarist of Thin Lizzy and he passed away not too long ago (as I'm sure you can guess!)

[@BlondeJusticeLives]

@InvisibleYetVisible It has that element of anger and frustration because it's an Irish person commenting on war. Ireland has a lot of history that I couldn't even begin to explain to anyone not living here [same as most places really], no one can fully understand unless they've experienced this history or its effects first hand. That's what makes the original work so much, but I like this version too. Wild Frontier is another Moore song that references actual Irish issues more directly. Sonata!

[@DMEB]

just heard about this....although as a biased thin lizzy fan and gary moore fan i cant say this is better than the original but DOES IT MATTER??? it is a true worthy tribute to a great rock song buy a good band of a different style so this gets 5*****'s for just existing!!!!! anyone who puts this down for not sounding like the original I PITY YOU FOR BEING SO CLOSED MINDED!!! GOOD GOOD!!!!!

[@moviemaker3000]

You are right, it's just your opinion. Tony is an incredible singer. And it's all a matter of preference, they didn't "take only the melodies and the lyrics and miss out everything else that made the song enjoyable", they made a COVER. They remade the song to fit their style. I really like their style. Just because you don't doesn't mean the cover is bad.

[@Raisetsuai]

How can it be overrated if over half the people who comment on here are putting it down? From what I've heard of Sonata's covers, this is just as damn good as any other cover they've done. I don't throw such praises around so easily either, this is an amazing cover.

[@BNSFFREAK747]

RIP Gary Moore and Phil Lynott. This is a great cover! Much respect.

[@Maerko]

Its a cover you need to listen to at least 4 times to be able to appreciate it. But after that... it really sounds like like a good cover of a good song. (in my opinion, Unia in full needs some repetition to appreciate it) Good vid Alkuteos, thanks for posting. Sonata Arctica Rocks the World :D Theyre the best!

[@InuChan18]

This is my favourite Sonata Arctica song. I listen to it all the time. Thank you for uploading it.

[@djmakrotrance]

wtf is wrong with u people?this sounds preety damn good!stop talking shit and start listening!!

[@telsport]

heartfelt song about a tragic Irish era. Moore-Lynott great...this very good. Tom in Utica NY

[@LydiaVespera]

Henrik totally rocked that keyboard solo!!!awsome!

[@Oliver2Jarvis]

yes, i agree with you on that and will say that I am also a fan of the origonal. but sometimes a cover is meant to change the meaning.

[@IRobinDHoodP]

I don't give a fuck who puts it down. Sonata Arctica is one of the greatest musical groups to grace the planet.

[@Sethuria]

Indeed, occasionally he does force his voice, if you've heard the live performances its quite a bit more noticible as well. However the range at which he can force his voice is so high, its more then a fair compromise, since as we just covered, its barely noticible in the first place.

[@jayleppanen]

It's so pitiful to read people arguing about this being better/worse than original a) everybody's got a right to his/her opinion b) Sonata never intented to make a better version than Gary&Phil, just an own version Peace!

[@Saminopoliz]

It doesn't matter to me even if the cover is better i still think that this is a kick ass song and Sonata Arctica is the best band there ever is!

[@LMarcy8]

I did not know of this bands existence until a few weeks ago. They f***** rule. This song is by far one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life. Way to go Sonata.

[@tullyDT]

Actually in the original recording it's Gary Moore on a synth guitar you see him playing it in the original music video, but when Thin Lizzy and Gary Moore played it live they had back up keyboard players

[@asukalangleysohryu1739]

que buen cover ♥

[@NachoRemis]

Asuka Langley Soryu mostraselo a Shinji para que cambie de tema porque siempre escucha el mismo una y otra vez

[@joerobbo0]

great comment and totally agree metal and rock is nothing like it used to be

[@tavini1]

Best Tribute to Gary Moore's Song EVER.

[@lastyou]

@shokinhaz this song is by Thin Lizzy, and SA did a cover. And the sound of Kind hearted light is identical to the one of the original song, so get your facts right before posting such dumb comments!

[@tiemar3396]

what's better than a cover of a song? a cover of a song done by sonata arctica!

[@darwinmedinamusic]

Yes, this great band comes from a city called Kemi, in Finland. : D

[@gynthagh]

LOve this band, how can you say his vocals are shite?? people saying that prob cannot sing themselves anyway, This man sings better than anyone in the pop/commercial world of music and same goes for all power metal singers amasing

[@Toukos95]

R.I.P Gary Sonata keep up the good work!

[@Criticalmis]

@Metmusie of course everybody is entitled to her/his ownoppinion, but my oppinion is that you are tone deaf. I listen to Sonata for two reasons: 1) I love sung stories; 2) His voice is soooelodic . . . the reverbrado alone is impresive! . . . and his vocal range . . . Wow!

[@Crunchic]

you should respect Sonata for their style, making it ''epic'' is something they do to all their covers, I would think that having their own style is better than following the style of the cover, they aren't posers they recognize good music

[@VulpineDemon]

@beyondmaster This cover is absolute gold. You can barely call yourself a Sonata Arctica fan if you think this is aweful. Gary Moore could barely do better. Like with I Want Out they made it THEIR cover... like bands should!

[@Whisker89]

@dwoverdose52 You replied brillantly. I agree :) maybe I've been too much critical... despite everything, Sonata Arctica is a great band

[@Thorium109]

@ Ponce546, It's in the Unia album.

[@Arrokoth]

@TToud "tony kakko has more passion in a single breath than anybody else" beautiful sentence, totally agree!

[@LydiaVespera]

sonata arctica have totally made this song so much better. brilliant LOL.

[@Asako_Gaming]

@dabydgilmour It's a remake, so it's Sonata Arctica, but yes Gary Moore created the original

[@alonso1050]

yes the version of Gary Moore & Phil Lynott have a sound more clear but when a band make a cover they give an oportunity to the old classics have new fans for example me, I'm curius with the old version and is great.

[@Wolvesbane831]

@Astenios666 Actually I've looked up a lot of Gary Moore's live shows with this song from the early days to present day. He can barely keep up with the song's high vocals, Tony sings circles around this song. Vulprine Demon is right

[@dumberdummer]

The original was really good, but I don't think I can agree with someone saying they failed this song. This is still really freakin epic and I thought the keys were amazing here. What they did here was put some of their own style into it, and sometimes thats the point of a cover, not always sounding like the other band.

[@Anti-Prolixity]

Gosh... all the bonus tracks rock.

[@GirlyDragons]

Least fave of the covers out there, but still a very good one. Powerwolf probably did the best one tho.

[@jenton70]

Nice cover! First I've heard of this band but I'll check out some more.

[@RazyFreaVideos]

I used to play WoW to this song

[@bekabekic751]

same

[@ocoeelover]

Thank you UltimateThor. Sonata Arctica is amazing, as are Gary and Phil. Poeople need to stop being ignorant assholes about it and respect both bands/artists. it is an amazing cover, of an amazing original song. I myself listen to a ton of Power Metal. But i also love classic rock, people are always bitchy when Edguy, or Sonata Arctica or Helloween even cover a song, out of love for the original, and respect to the original artists

[@chamae01]

awesome cover we love you Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bay3rn89]

this ROCKS!!! Tony Kakko, is one of the best singers in the world,

[@DrizztDoUrden1234567]

great cover

[@Plaustic]

T.Kakko is simply the best metal vocalists in Europe or in whole fucking WORLD!!

[@InuChan18]

This is my favourite of Sonata Artica's songs. I only have Unia, so I have never heard the original. But I would like to.

[@Slvrwlf]

I haven't heard the original song yet, but by the sound of Sonata's cover, I'd love it aswell... Those who talk down on cover songs just because they think the original is better, remember this, covers are made as TRIBUTES to the original creators, just look out for some of the most popular songs you can find, and you're bound to find many covers of them, all tributes to the original artists.

[@poopieinmybuthole3379]

U still alive lol

[@byt4n]

amazing song, one of my favorites at the moment

[@jsarangoc]

2021!

[@Heirofadyingday]

what an amazing cover

[@Raisetsuai]

That is BY FAR the funniest thing I have heard today, lmao.

[@CitTo0]

absolutelly perfect song

[@Zoltaen]

The original is much better, but I thank for SonatAArcticA for this cover, because I've heard their version first, so I came here to search for the real deal. :) So without this version I never would have enjoyed the awesomness of the original by Gary and Phil. :D

[@miryanlucy]

Sonata Arctica is the beeeeeeeest

[@wormscesky]

You're definitely wrong, Gary Moore's version sounds more natural, pure, alive... On the other side, Nightwish and SA's covers are more modern and powerful. A true fan loves all of them. :-)

[@BlondeJusticeLives]

@Alkuteos Hahaha! True. Fan of both here.

[@nimuaythai]

Have you guys been listening to the same version i have!?!?!? Thin Lizzy are gods and it is understandable that this band would want to cover them but seriously, they could never hope to be as good as Lizzy!!! RIP Phil Lynott

[@Kuschelkeks91]

gotta say... love the band love the song... They just kick ass

[@sbahj]

wooooooooooooooooooooooow so nice it's very nice song...

[@backflipmann]

Why isn't that song on Spotify man D':

[@JPmax89]

I like the "keyboardfill" in the refrain, it enriches the song.

[@farinilla]

Great ! from Spain

[@mofrakker]

This song is not bad. It has some very intricate arrangements. It has it's peaks and valleys. It's actually good. But the original was such a powerful (wich is why I think they chose to cover it)collaboration between twos legends. The main vocal in this one is distracting at the begining, but the harmony vocals are very well executed. And it has an excellent production. I could understand your preferance, but personally I'm oldschool on this one. Peace.

[@SexyGoddess426]

i like this version. by far.

[@alexmatrix1995]

@Pelicans112 garry moore is the original player of this song , and he died 2 weeks ago :(

[@SarothCyngus]

This is PERFECT for Team Future's theme...

[@Xarfax321]

The original is Gary Moore.... You can find it on youtube.

[@wheezerYT]

I have to agree with the guitar vs. keyboard sentiment regarding this wonderful song. I'm glad someone thought this was a song they'd like to cover, but it doesn't sound the same with the guitar not being the preeminent instrument.

[@jumbelial]

Great cover. R.I.P Gary Moore

[@NOZONEmetal]

What a great song the Irish come up with some amazing music!!

[@RandomlineProduction]

@Metmusie I agree it is the same with ZP Theart. People who know nothing about singing automatically call him crap.

[@idontknow23100]

2:18 "...have fallen on deaf ears AGAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIN!" love it

[@fiona4sweeney]

i think dis is a good cover and they made it their own. if you r doin a cover you dont have to sound like the band or artist who did the original. i do agree its not as good as the original but that doesnt mean its crap. if they did exactly like phil lynott and gary moore people wud ave been complainin den saying they copied them and didnt make der own.

[@DocWilyZ]

Ho there, pally. I'd recommend you calm down there - you keep raging, and you're gonna send me to the hospital from laughing so damn hard.

[@antho545]

This cover is amazing !!!

[@Raisetsuai]

I don't know why people thumbs downed my comment... I hope you guys realize I was talking about the people calling Sonata emo, not laughing at him saying Sonata i the best, because I think Sonata is the best fucking band out there.

[@DiodaVP]

I love them too!

[@spanky1113]

I don't think it was meant to be a cover so much as bringing the message of the song to the modern day. Disturbed did the same thing with Genesis' "Land of Confusion". Oh and Diego, Guns and Roses did a cover of Knockin' on Heavens Door. It was it think Dylan who did it first. I'll double check it though.

[@Masgone.]

freaking awesome!

[@Slvrwlf]

And to add more, you still don't have to start talking bad about the cover artists, if you just don't like it, don't listen to it and don't comment on it!

[@KymeraKILLER]

True that. I love Sonata but Gary and Phil cannot be beat.

[@serpenttao]

I'd have to say I agree with Mythically, but that is because I myself like Sonata Arctica a lot. I must say, Gary Moore is a GREAT guitar player, and it sounds really good, but I like Sonata's style somewhat more. However, I can surely understand why most people prefer the original version =] peace

[@Caleeb34]

@Batsinthebelltower this was made on Unia, ignorant, with Jani. His last album with Sonata. And in my opinion Elias is pretty good but they didn't gave him a good chance in The Days Of Grays

[@Me18aaa]

I like this. I think that this is better what original. I don't say that original is not good, but I prefer that :P

[@angelakagi]

j'adore ce groupe!

[@axlbrujo]

@Metallikaputt you, sir, have a mouth full of rightness.
