Re: Live shows
I was thinking, since the band seems to be so relaxed and is playing a great setlist these days, it would be cool if they did a live album like Polaris Live again. Record several shows and make a selection of songs to put out. What do you think? We had the Jörg farewell tour DVD, why not a Rolf hel...

Re: Stratovarius Nemesis World Tour Setlist
Nice to see you back! Twilight Time struck me already on fb, I really have my doubts if it shouldn't be Twilight Symphony instead. Same goes for Falling Into Fantasy. Hopefully someone is able to confirm this or that... Both older ones would a big surprise, as you said! Yeah I would love to see the...

Re: Favourite song on Nemesis?
I still enjoying A LOT this album. Now I can say that it is in their top 4 or even top 3 for me. I can't stop listening to Stand my ground, what an incredible song! To hear the album from beginning to end is an amazing trip. Agreed. The first half of the album is growing on me and I'm thinking Neme...

Re: Tour the USA
They went to the US for the Polaris tour.
Maybe if the next album is even more successful and nobody leaves, they'll come to the US for it. The Polaris one seemed to work out great for them.

Re: to stratovarius managers.
Just out of curiosity, for a band to tour in Puerto Rico, do they have to go through the same process as coming into the US to tour, or does PR have its own separate laws about that?
Always wondered.

Re: Stratovarius Nemesis World Tour Setlist
Show must go on.
Hopefully it's nothing permanent. Although if it does, I guess TK can start singing Bonnie Tyler at shows
I do hope all is well though.

Re: A question about Dreamspace and Fourth Dimension
Dreamspace is definitely worth a listen, and a buy. This album has several really good songs on it. Twilight Time is almost as good, and very worthwhile. I'd get both of them if I were you. :) Fright Night is not that great, IMO but most bands debut albums hardly stack up to their sequels. FN is no...

A question about Dreamspace and Fourth Dimension
I decided to go backwards through Stratovarius to see how much their sound evolved up to Episode. Fourth Dimension was mostly a trainwreck in my honest opinion, but I'll give it time. The first time I heard Elements Part 1 I thought it was a mediocre album, and now it's my favorite one. So we'll see...

Re: Stratovarius Nemesis World Tour Setlist
A very good setlist. Anyway, I would prefer Nemesis vs Destiny and I would delete HHAL and Forever and add Out Of The Fog and One Must Fall. But it is a really good setlist. Can't wait to hear the songs from this masterpiece live!!! Keep a ballad in Forever's slot, they should put in If the Story i...

Re: Infinity (is not here)
On Infinite Visions DVD Infinity is a masterpiece. I would think it would be done as a finale at most of the concerts, IMO. It's a long song but I cannot think of any reason Koti would not want to sing it more often unless it's the very high crescendo at the end. Personally, Infinity is one of my f...

Infinity (is not here)
I noticed that Stratovarius would be playing Destiny (the song) this year's tour. They don't play it that much compared to Visions which in some way makes it more enjoyable on the days that they do play it. Then I got curious and checked out Infinity on setlist.fm. And now I'm surprised they haven't...

Re: Best post-Tolkki songs
I personally think that those 3 albums are better than Elements Pt.I, Elements Pt.II and Stratovarius, and perhaps Elysium the best since 1998 and Nemesis since 1997. Way to go! Disagree on the first but agree on the second. I think Nemesis contends with Episode and Elements Pt. 1 as the best Strat...

20 songs out of 42? I mean I like all of the songs on all three albums, but choosing the better half is a bit much.

Re: Stratovarius Nemesis World Tour Setlist
Freedom is in there? That's an interesting touch. There's no other post-Destiny songs in there other than Hunting. A shame, I'd at least want to hear more of the Polaris-Elysium stuff.

Re: U.S. Tour
No I think it has to do with the difficulty these days of getting working papers to work in the US. If these guys go to the US their album either needs to chart really high or it has to be a huge tour for it to be truly profitable.
So no, no US tour.
