Well, this afternoon I was thinking about the next tour, about the new album...
Which song would you like to open these shows? I think "against the wind" would be perfect... Perfect music, perfect lyrics and good vibrations to start a magic night
What about you?

Re: Best opening song
i was thinking, more along the lines of phoenix, legions or a million light years away
Close your eyes and try to remember, destroyed lullabies of days gone by
Close your eyes on the edge of forever, a chance to dream fast asleep your nightmare ends

Re: Best opening song
Phoenix is THE perfect opening song for this tour. Maybe Legions too, or Liberty but it's not much of an opening song.

Re: Best opening song
"like the Phoenix i rise, from the ashes of life"....this is song is perfect for an opener!
Re: Best opening song
At last gig I saw, they opening with "I walk to my own song" . It was avesome! Maybe, the right reason is, that it was last Strato gig ever...and first, I ever see...It was the best and the worst experience in my life...the best, becouse I saw them and they wre fucking great! And the worst, becouse i known, that I´ll never see them again
But I think, that I walk to my own song is best opening song ever!!!

Re: Best opening song
I think it would be Legions or the new United if the song really means their reunion. Anyway, please check also this topic:

Re: Best opening song
If we are looking for a symbolic opener I'd say Against the wind or Phoenix. Lyrical theme for both songs is to against all odds proceed.
OR Legions, as a symbolic dedication to the fans who have stuck with stratovarius through all the turmoil

Re: Best opening song
United(I don't know this song, but I have heard only good about it) or Find your own Voice
Nothing to say.

Re: Best opening song
Legions would be an opener for the fans, so it'll be great.
Phoenix shows that Stratovarius has risen again, great too.
But I was thinking about Awaken the Giant. Strato will be bigger and better then ever before!

Re: Best opening song
Maybe the opening song will be a song from the new Album.
I think it could be something like Maniac Dance or another new song.
After that a mixture of old and new and the last song united

Re: Best opening song
Episode + Speed of Light is perfect opening.
And ending: Season of Change or some new song.

Re: Best opening song
Black Diamond is the best ending song. Perfect speed, intensity, and a fan favourite. Plus captures Strato's style (well, their style so far! dunno about the new album till i hear it)
Best opening song has to be Forever Free.
Best opening song by ANY band has to be 'The Sign Of Evil Existance' by Rotting Christ. Anyone who's heard that will understand what i mean.

And isn't it boring that Black Diamond is almost every time ending song??? And in fact, Black Diamond isn't my favourites...

It isn't mine either, and YES it's boring...Stratofanius wrote:Forever Free is veeery good but by live it's boring.NeonVomit wrote:Black Diamond is the best ending song.

Anyway, I´ll close my ears totally if they play FF on a concert where I´ll be hopefully in the autumn.Stratofanius wrote: Best opening song has to be Forever Free.
Well, the best ending song would be Visions of course. The end of the song suits very good to be the last song of the set (IMHO). Perhaps the openers should be: 1. Legions/United, 2. Phoenix and the two last ones Black Diamond/Season of Change and Visions.

Re: Best opening song
Call it tradition. I think Black Diamond belongs in the setlist where it is
Forever Free is a good fun song to get started with, nice and fast but not too crazy.
Then again, I can't say what the new songs are like, since I havnt heard them yet. Maybe the best intro/ending songs are on there. Maybe the best Stratovarius song ever written is on there. How can we know?

Re: Best opening song
I Walk to My Own song, since it's better opener than most on the new album and there was no tour for Elements II either... so people can't be bored with that song yet...

I agree with opening Episode + Speed of, and closing Liberty. Just perfect.MaFiaBoY wrote:In fact, Liberty would be perfect for ending I think.Stratofanius wrote:Episode + Speed of Light is perfect opening.

Re: Best opening song
Musically, the Episode/Speed of Light combo is the best opener possible but, seeing the reunion circumstances, Phoenix would also be great...Legions would be even better..."Tonight we're together again!"

Re: Best opening song
It would be cool if they didn't do the same thing at every show. For example, since they've never came to the U.S. yet, maybe their shows could be a little bit different from the Japanese and European tour dates to convey a different message to us. (?)

Re: Best opening song
When they come to Calgary They better play 4th Reich! Lol love that song
But i doubt they will seeing as Tolkki needs to sing it ( its not the same if he doesn't)
There are many good opening songs like pheonix but i think it would be cool for them to do a show that progresses from there old stuff to there new stuff. It would be cool to hear Black Night live for the first time in ever!
or Break The Ice what ever work lol
