Re: Now it's finally clear, isn't it?
Nice! I hope the tour includes Brazil as well. Oh man, I really can't wait! :D But I guess the point Lurdi is trying to make is that TK referred to the band as Stratovarius , and that this could mean that they had made up their mind and will keep the name. I'm a bit skeptical though. What else could...

Re: Question about a Stratovarius song
It sounds a lot like "hearts" to me as well. It could be that the lyrics changed, but the booklets had already been created (or the guys responsible for the creation of the booklet simply weren't notified).

Re: Jens Johansson's Gear?
Nice! Thanks a lot for those tips!
When I was a kid I used to play with my OPL3 sound card, I think I might be able to recreate those songs.
Your lead sound is very realistic, by the way.

Re: Jens Johansson's Gear?
I wonder if Jens uses a customized set of voices (especially cause he's a tech savvy guy)? If so, is there any chance we could download the preset? My current cheapo-ass keyboard is not working anymore since last week, and I saw an affordable DX-7 for sale at the local eBay. I'm tempted to buy it, b...

Re: Regards From Chile (South America)
Greetings fellow south americans. Looking forward to the south american leg of the upcoming tour as well! In fact, I'm considering travelling to other countries to go to at least two of their concerts, let's see if I'll be able to make it. Stratovarius lives in our hearts. (make sure the tour includ...

Re: Is Matias Kupiainen the new Steve Vai?
For the love of god im wispering a prayer that for blood and glory the music has some of those really melodic songs like liberty. This will be cool so see what kind of style Matias puts into his playing with the rest of the guys. I love the song Liberty. Knowing us Strato fans, it's no wonder why w...

Re: Where is mr Tolkki????
I really wish RR had a real website, with news, discography, tour info, all that stuff. MySpace isn't a replacement for a real website. A real website would also be the place where all fans could go for accurate information. That would certainly prevent a lot of speculation and would give the band a...

Re: Elements Pt. 1 & 2 Reviews
I like reviews. After reading a decent review, I start listening to the albums through an additional perspective as well. Obviously, you need to filter out stuff that doesn't apply to you when reading a review. Also, if you're not sure about buying an album, a decent review (again, provided that you...

Re: New guitar player, and future plans
I wonder if a live DVD + album is part of the future plans. That would be fucking awesome.
Perhaps recorded in Sao Paulo. We've been waiting for that DVD since 2005.

Re: Upcoming Revolution Renaissance tour close to be cancelled?
Looks like one of the concerts in Italiy has been cancelled, due to management problems (it wasn't cancelled by the band). If that's the source of said "rumours", I guess there's nothing to speculate about, move on...

Re: Episode/Visions/Destiny style bands
I second Thunderstone and early Edguy , probably the closest you can get. Also, the following bands sound like Stratovarius occasionally: - early Sonata Arctica (Ecliptica through Winterheart's Guild) - early Nightwish (Angels Fall First, Oceanborn) - Kotipelto (duh) - Warmen - Highland Glory (corny...

Re: Which is/are your favorite guitar solo/s in the Stratosongs?
All solos in Destiny (the song) are fun-tastic. One of my favourites is the keyboard solo in Why Are We Here? . Also, the second solo in Night Time Eclipse (after the part that says "Waiting for the dawn soon to arrive, so few options that I have, that I can use. Life's circunstances can be so cruel...

Re: Should Stratovarius continue and make a new album?
I voted yes, but I'm really torn. I guess we all would like an hypothetical band formed by TK, JJ, JM, LP + a guitar player that sounded exactly like Stratovarius back in the "days we'll always recall". Musically-wise, it doesn't matter whether the band is called Stratovarius or not. However, I'm af...
