Stratovarius New DVD to be released in Japan on May 23, 2012

[JensJohansson]

The DVD editing/ mix/ mastering/ release is a pretty complex thing with a lot of people involved! But this one (finally!) is coming out. Third time's a charm or whatever .. ^^

I assume edel just doesn't want to put a firm release date before they are 100% sure they will be ready. In JVC's case they feel this date is when they will be 100% ready. In a way the band is even a little bit out of the loop with these details, and I don't mind.

When we have firm release dates for the whole world we will let you know of course!

How many times have we heard this before?

Until I have the DVD in my hands, I won't believe it.

If I had 50,000 Euro for every time I have said those exact words... well, then I'd have 150,000 euro I suppose.

NOW we are talking

[GAGAGO]

What was it we did before?

[hiro23]

That's good to know, hopefully the worldwide release will be shortly after the Japan release.

[brought2ubyletterC]

Thanks for confirming that, Jens. *Now* I'm excited!

[mocobhc]

So am I good way to start a day! Thanks Jens.

[adrian9]

What was it we did before?

I think it was "blurbing" if that is a verb

[tpocain]

Thanks for confirming that, Jens. *Now* I'm excited!

Now I'M excited, TOO!\m/ Love ya, Jens...

[brought2ubyletterC]

See, I was so excited I forgot to ask...Jens, do you know yet if there will be a U.S. release, or am I gonna have to rely on eBay?

Thank heaven for all-region DVD players.

[hiro23]

brought2ubyletterC:Jens just said there will be a worldwide release, he just wasn't sure when exactly it would be because of edel music doing a few last minute things with it.

[brought2ubyletterC]

Yes, I saw that part of his post; since he said that Edel (?) wasn't sure when the worldwide release would be, I was wondering if I should just get the Japanese copy. So my question was more along the lines of was it possible that the worldwide release would be a long time after Japan?

[hiro23]

Usually they aren't however I'm not the authority of that.

[AAAAAAAAAA]

however I'm not the authority of that.

I could say something snarky, but that would be no way to treat the third most nicest poster this forum has ever seen. And so, I grant you this sloppy kiss instead:



PS: I am substantially hairier in real life

[brought2ubyletterC]

Thanks Hiro; I just know that sometimes it can take up to over a year for a DVD to be released in NTSC format sometimes. I think the Nightwish End of an Era DVD took almost 2 years before it was converted to NTSC for North America.

[hiro23]

A10:um...Thank you?

brought2ubyletterC:I guess it depends on the company I guess, I do know several american dvd releases that came out only a few weeks after their Japanese counterparts.

[brought2ubyletterC]

Thanks Hiro; I'm not too worried about it since I have a DVD player that is PAL-compatible, so if I have to buy the Japanese release, I will.

[StratoFabio]

very good news Victor! but I'll wait for the European version

[Beast_Pete]

Are we going to see some Lauri special on the DVD?

[brought2ubyletterC]

Some Lauri bass solos at least, I hope!

[hiro23]

How about both? that would be extremely awesome.

[mayhem-for-all]

I would still love the idea of all Lauri's ...in Progress videos being on the DvD along with some new ones.
He is an amazing Bass Player and has a talent for being a comedian as well

Ah, yes--the whole band's pretty freakin' funny!

Do go on.

[hiro23]

I think it would also be great to include a second disc with special features.

[Ilsekena]

Huh, Personzz! Matias just wrote on his fb that DVD is done! Juuhuuu

You were faster than me.

[browneyedgirl]

I am so glad progress is being made, I am looking forward to this DVD!!!!!

[hiro23]

I feel this is going to be awesome.

[mocobhc]

Great news!! Aaahh excitement growing every day... I so can't wait to please my tv and speakers with'em

[brought2ubyletterC]

So let me ask, since I forgot the last 2 times...Jens, will we see any explosions?
