More is on the way.


-Lauri

Totally awesome video... but that backstage what I saw, wasn't quite like that
But yes Tampere (like we Finnish guys say it: Nashville) is like you show it
Next time, you'll get that röökiaski
BTW: was that bar after the gig... was it Inferno


And yes, more these kind of videos

Cool video as always
Thanks for the awesome gig in SOA!

Harbour of Tampere.

Nice, thanks for footage with Kamelot. They did a great show too.



And btw, which one of you fucked up the lyrics of the national anthem!?

Nice Tampere bank.

Wow... what can I even say about Thor...

Thor seemed pretty mighty, Thor also came across as quite brave
Didn't crush many of the infidels in his way though...
By his hammer plenty of people were left to party
And lived pass out another day (or maybe that evening)
God, monster, man, the dude seemed to be all of those
And I guess we'll die together in the end, sure...

He looked like a God of thunder, maybe also a God of rain
Certainly an earth shaker and definately felt no pain
The powerhead of the festival clearly,
I think the beer was his neverending curse.

I watched as he shouted
At the laws of decency which, it seemed, died that day
He held up his whatever the hell that thing was and called, possibly to Odin, for a sign

With effort he swung his swords to to crack the stage
No cape but fuckit, he didn't need one, he was too cool for that
Back to Odin or the stage managers
And left the mortal world, or probably just went backstage for a swim.

Cool You have a lot of fun as I see

And Lauri, thanks for "Oi ryabina kudryavaya" that you played solo in Saint-Petersburg! You rule!

Haha, fantastic
And the Finnish nature looks so much like in Norway

The national anthem is really lovely, and because I don't understand Finnish Lauri, I couldn't hear you fuck up either. So it's all good
Keep up the good work, thanks A LOT for this lovely video!

:party:

Thanks for the video Lauri, awesome as always
But tell me, do other people get annoyed when you start filming them ? Because Timo didn't seem to like it

Anyone care to translate what he said at that bit?

Täällä ei saa kuvata, ku täällä on niin kuvauksellisia ihmisiä =
You can't shoot here, 'cause there are so picturesque people here

Just a joke, he wasn't offended by it.

Great video, hahahaha Lauri is so funny!!

Cheers to stratovarius !!!

P.S. Very cool version of the anthem! Metal rules!

Damn, I didn't make it to the video.

I kinda envy people in Tampere now because at least in the video it seems they had a lot warmer and more sunny day than we had in here (-5 degrees Celcius in June, wtf?! ) But the gig was great. Thank you guys!

do you have the setlist of Lappajärvi

Great video!

I guess you have to be a finn to understand everything, but still I liked the video very much!

Thanx a lot!

StratoTimo wrote: do you have the setlist of Lappajärvi

I think the setlist was the same as it was in Tampere.

Finland: Beautiful country; if I had to choose a last place before dying, that would be Finland... and I had had the chance to choose a country to be born, that would have been Finland. HAIL FINLAND!!!
Thanks for this video Lauri

Fun stuff, but the best parts were the nature scenes. Missed visiting this year...and last. Brought back much nostalgia. Thanks so much!

May I give you a review from the Russian paper "Pravda".


Once again we have the privilege to share a piece of artwork from the talented filmmaker L Porra, also known as bassplayer in the successful musicconstitution "Stratovarius".
Young Porra has become something of a legend. He is often hiding behind a mask of laughter and humour and seems to be very social. But he also shows a self-will to express sentiments in his own way and he is selling off the prospects he works with in a very perceptive way.
He gives us a portrait of the Finnish forests with all the trees and they seem to be very happy to live in just the arcaic Finland.
Porra creates a room for our thoughts and he gives us the silence we sometimes like to dwell in.The silence as a background for Finnishspeaking people most of us don't care if we understand or not. They are humans in mother nature and that is enough...

Thanks for the video Lauri, funny as always, keep them coming man.

Really funny! More these videos
