@@SadisticKillerXx Yes, these early Wintersun performances aren't perfect. The post-Time I tours were great, and after Jari stopped playing guitar live to focus on singing, they've been cleaner than ever. Kinda strange watching these old performances.
And this one is still my favorite live performance by Wintersun! The sound of the instruments isn't so processed like now days and I kinda like that backing tracks isn't as big a part on these first albums songs as it is in "newer" songs. But although I like newer live performances too, this one is just so awesome!
Yep, they're definitely one of the best metal bands around and their music is unparalleled. Jari is a great composer as well as guitar player. Teemu is a great composer too and great gutiar player, according to Jari, Teemu is better than him! Teemu was only 18 in this video, brutal. Jukka is one of the bests too, and Kai also. It's really beautiful what they have created in music. Edit 1 year later: they're about to release 'The Forest Seasons' now. They all showed their determination to all fans. 50 euros for 1 full album, 2 remastered albums and 1 full live album (all tracks mastered), 1pcs of 5K booklet (36 pages), isolated tracks for each instrument, and other perks. Strange, but I've never gave up my hope on them, never gave up hope for new album. I've known - understood - Jari's and the band's intentions from the very beginning, and now here you go. I've never had any doubts. Have you?
Ádám Vécsey my only issue with the band is that the songs on the forest seasons felt like they should have been about 6-7 mins long each. They weren't progressive enough for 10 mins +. Still love Wintersun though
Tuve la suerte de verlos la única vez que vinieron a la ciudad de México, he ido a muchísimos conciertos y puedo decir con seguridad que ha Sido el mejor, sonaban brutales, son tan exelentes músicos que a pesar de ser death tocaban tan limpio que quedabas impactado, ver a Kai Moviendo las manos por todos lados es impresionante, ni los bateristas de technical death se le acercan. Banda y músicos muuuuuy infravalorados.
Jari’s guitar looks funny but I wouldn’t say that to his face lol. Amazing band and it’s really awesome that they are still together and making music.. wish I could say that for Alexi Laiho. Such amazing talent 🤘🏼
For ya'll who are confused with Teemu's age: - Teemu: 07/01/1987 - Summer Breeze 2005 (Day 2): 19/08/2005 = 18 years, 7 months, 12 days (or 6'799 days, whatever you prefer).
Patralgan I think the reason was that they couldn't fit it in the setlist. They had already played the song in Tuska 2005 where they had ~10 minutes longer setlist (and Starchild was the only difference).
It's endearing to have these young boys attempting to play this legendary album live. So many fuckups, but it's all ok. Today they're obviously much competent artists
Intro to Winter Madness that was removed for the debut album but appeared on the demo. He added it back on the remastered version of Wintersun (album) called Wintersun 2.0 after like 18 years.
