Whoever talks thrash about Lauri's singing obviously doesn't know anything about singing. Hats of to his performance, same as on original track. You can't compare Ville's and Lauri's voice, they are totally different, both great in their ways. I love contrast duets, and Apocalyptica gave me chills with that outro !
+JNotice hos people are screaming "LAURI" before the man sings a single note...that's how beloved Lauri Ylonen is. I like Ville too, but Lauri is special, a more all around great performer
Why are so Much comments about LAURI his voice?? His voice is his voice we all Know as as Rasmus fans thet Lau have a high voice but he is a kind hearted man with the golden voice
First things first: This is a GREAT song - sooo beautiful... *-* But: Why is everybody arguing who sounds better? And why are you hating on Lauri? You can't compare them vocally, they're too different! That said, Ville's voice is pure magic, while Lauri puts his soul in his voice and gives me the shivers. Personally, I don't care about perfect vocal skills (though they are both awesome singers), I care about emotions getting carried through a singer's voice. Emotion isn't always clear and spot-on, it's raw and sometimes it can be a little off-key. The two of them aren't supposed to sing in complete harmony, it would ruin the song! So, please accept that this isn't a solo thing, this song needs both their voices with their unique qualities and it is perfect just as it is!
What I think most people are missing here is that duets aren't a competition. What makes this song work so well, in part, IS that their voices are so different. The entire song is based on conflicting emotions, conflicting lyrics, it NEEDS conflicting voices so that's what they got. Nobody has to be better or worse because they're working TOGETHER.
***** Of course, I've already thought about that too. It only works because they're so different, so opposite voices and the Apocalyptica guys certainly chose them for that. The contrast gets even stronger as they sing in different tenses in the second verse - Lauri as if caught up in the happening, while Ville looks back on it. I'm not sure if it is possible to say one of them is "bitter" and the other "sweet" though... ;)
If there was no such difference in their voices, the song would not sound so nice. beautiful deep and low voice Ville, Lauri's high voice combined in an amazing song!
All three are perfect... Ville, Lauri and of course Apocalyptica... Lets just not say anyone is better tha the other... they are all incredible Finnish artists... we are so blessed to have this with ALL of them... DAMNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! *chills running down my spine*
The first time I've seen the recording of this whole concert, was when I was 5 years old..I'm 20yrs now, doing classical music for a living, and still listening to all of these bands..
Are you all kidding? Lauri has an incredible, awesome, magic voice. It's so perfect to hear him in reality! If you've never done it, don't try to discuss his vocal skills. It sounds so foolishly! He's very very very talented and cute guy!
Sent shivers down my spine, Finland have the most AMAZING bands EVER! Apocalyptica, HIM and The Rasmus!!!!! Skill!!!! Altogether at the same time? ~ EXPLOSION OF JUST AMAZONGNESS AWSOMNESS AND JUST ....JUST....FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss their sound back in those days, extremely touching and unmistakably 'Apocalyptica's. Apocalpytica's new album is still worth listening, but their songs seem to lose this specialness. Several tracks on Shadowmaker can be easily inserted to any rock albums and may even become big hits. But if we like popular songs we wouldn't have listened to them at first. It's the rawness, the rarity of their sound that brings audience very special feelings and draws us to this band. Hope that I can hear that kind of sound again!
Described perfectly --- with PERFECT. Those 2 express such emotion with their words. Nothing worse than watching someone perform --- who has no idea what they're singing about. Thanks for the vid!
My computer froze halfway through, and I was like 'NOOOOOOOO!' I love everything about this song. The fact that who I consider to be the two most gorgeous guys on earth are singing together is only part of the reason why :)
Ohhh guys !! Stop comparing them!! They are both amazing I love both of them.. They have different voices and they are both spectacular in their way!! This song without one of them would have suck. So GO Lauri, Ville and of course Apocalyptica!!!!
I think Ville and Lauri compliment each other perfectly in this song; Ville's dark, brooding side to Lauri's light passionate side; and of course Apocalyptica's cellos and drums to finish this work of art :)
This song was made to be played by them (Lauri, Ville and the guys from Apocalyptica). While Lauri is singing with love and some kind of warm sense, Ville is singing with coldness and that feeling of having nothing but a hole in your chest. The guys from Apocalyptica played the atmosphere neededto equilibrate their voices. This duet was just perfect and amazing.
Almost forgot the other guys, I think this trio has managed to create something very special with this GORGEOUS song they perform together, should be much more songs like this one, masterpeace imo!
Ville and Lauri ARE great, together they're are (almost) perfect. But I think Apocalyptica should be praised as well (no one says anything about them xD'). They complete the whole Finish thing and it really is something special to listen to. 3 interprets from the same country making music together - each of them is/are special in their own way, but put together they are simply PERFECT ;)

i love how valo just chills and sings really mellow..he puts just the right amount into it without overdoing it... prefer the deep voice to the high one - but they do balance each other out really well!
Lauri is a good singer but his voice is very different and has a much higher pitch than Ville's. That's why it makes such a huge difference and might even sound "annoying" compared to Ville's deep voice. Not saying he's not a good singer or he doesn't have a good voice just very different to Ville's. That's one of the reasons that makes this song so beautiful
I agree with you, the simple word to describe this concert is "perfect", I enjoyed watching the musical arranges with their voices, the cold colours of the lights, and the cellos, too. All the parts give a special effect to feel very strong feelings, deeper inside,´cause this song is pretty quiet and sad,and I love it. Thanks for uploading this video, ´cause here in Chile we still don´t have the opportunity to see a concert like that one XD!
