    I love this song, one of my many favorites by Nightwish. Emppu has such fun while playing, runs around the stage cutting up with the band, drinking beer, throwing picks and ever so often throwing out a sweet riff or two.

    This is awesome banger from start to finish, no downtime, no boring parts.
    And there is even better performance of this show in Tampere, with even better stage effects, different ending, Floor ends in Freddie Mercury style and there is legendary "show off toys" moment on Floor's face (has to be seen).

      Man, I dunno...the engineering here is outstanding. Kai's drums, and you can really hear Troy's bouzouki. Also, Floor's performance is extra-theatrical. I think this is the equal or better of the Tampere show...and I love that show.

    Nightwish doesn't seem at all bothered to take on organized religion. And I am glad they use their voices to tell stories that are intricate and meaningful. The biggest crime is they have such a meager following in the US. How do DJ's across the country not give them any air time? Baffles me. Well done again Ryan.

    Yes, watching her sing is a lesson in storytelling with her whole being. Some kind of magic happens when she starts.
    As always, Marko fantastic too.
    There's a video of sonewhete Troy and Tuomas talking about their atheism, that I think mentions this song.
    Have you done 7 Days to the Wolves? You don't have a Nightwish playing but I didn't see it in your video list.

    Love this song 🤘😎🤘!!!!!
    this one is against organized religions based on tribal religious texts, especially The Bible, it's not against personal faith in some Deity. However, one should realize that all those religious texts are & have been interpreted and used to justify unimaginable cruelties, persecution, discrimination etc., the worst being the idea that man is separate from nature & by some divine right above all other lifeforms, which explains the current almost catastrophic state of our planet.
    lyrics are spot on - so many fractures in our world have a root in the fantasy that each of the religions/sects/whatever are THE ONE way. This song speaks, with anger, against the fact that we humans are destroying ourselves and this world based on a power structure that needs to be made obsolete - we ALL deserve better.

    The only two issues everyone has with this clip from 2016 is that it misses Kai's drum intro/solo, that Wembley, Vancouver, and Tampere have...
    Plus that more emphasis is on Floor and the crowd during the midsection. Marco is playing The Beast in this song: his double necked Warwick bass/Framus guitar. During the midsection, he switches from playing bass to playing guitar, so you're hearing him playing in harmony with Troy, who is playing an Irish Bouzouki. Going from one to the other, back to one here really shows off what he can do.
    From that alone, you can tell that Nightwish had nothing to do with the mixing or camera coverage of the show. Have a look at this song from Wembley or Tampere and you'll see the difference.

    Maybe it wasn't in this version but Weak Fantasy opens with a narration by Richard Dawkins:
    "A story-telling breed we are, these stories given to us are filled with suffering, slavery, and the selfhood of a condescending ape. Every child is worth a better tale."
    Interesting that you subtitled your view about the dangers of denial in the US, see what Dawkins said a few years back, uncanny. . . .
    czcams.com/video/QZ0rZ9FGOAU/video.html
    There is an excellent and very short piece from Troy and Tuomas also: czcams.com/video/ZJuWLkTwtFs/video.html
    You know, I was fortunate and not pre-programmed by parents, even now, how well I remember my first day at school being about five and a half years old, near as dammit 70 years ago. Sat on the floor after lunch in a semi-circle while the teacher read a fantastical story from the big book of multi-translated folk stories, the small class was agog and silent when asked if there were any questions, I had one.
    I asked "Is that true, am I expected to believe it?"
    Oh dear. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    So... each performance is a little different. Now you have done this one. You can watch ALL the other Weak Fantasy videos in your spare time. Or..........you could react to them. Just saying.
