Stratovarius Community

Is it just me who thinks that there are to many camera angels?
Threy are changing cameras every second... I'm getting dizzy...

Don't get me wrong here, I really love Jari as a bass player BUT to replace a bass player in a band like Stratovarius won't make much difference to their music.

hopefully for me, Kinslayer isn't a nightwish tribute anymore, we have quite original songs (power prog). So lets wait to see Jens !

Have you guys released any album(s)?

* shattered * lord of the wasteland * stratosphere * before the winter * holy light * keep the flame * phoenix * hunting high and low * stratofortress * elements * season of faith's perfection * know the difference * beauty has come Personally I have chosen to vote for more "odd" songs because... we...

Doesn't the intro riff for "Glory of the world" sound abit like the intro riff for "Will the sun rise" btw?

YEEEEES! Give us the DVD! And a new album ... and... and.... and

Well, it should be interesting... but I'm hoping for some better records than Elements.

I wonder if it's possible to hear these songs somewhere for us who not live in Finland...

We can always hope... but I don't believe in anything until Nuclear Blast, and/or Stratovarius confirm a release date. The release date has been changed so many times now so...

Woule be nice. This is something that I'm always hoping for when bands release "best of" albums, that they should have re-recorded some old songs instead of just releasing the same old songs again and again. It WOULD be nice to hear Kotipelto sing some old songs that Tolkki used to sing BUT it would...

More ballads!! Mer moll, Jens!!

Yes, Tolkki&Jens do great "duets". Such as Black Diamond. Then, there is SOS&Kiss of Judas. The 5 guys are perfect musically together--there's no argument about that!

TRUE!! I just can't imagine that a guy like Tolkki would not enjoy playing solos.

Add more songs from Elements part 2 in the setlist and everything will be just fine :) Know the difference for example is a GREAT song and would be wonderfull to experience live. Stratovarius is a technical band and needs to have more of those "advanced" songs in their setlists to as the sceneshows ...

Quite funny that some people thinks that all this is just a PR-trick to sell more and get more attention. I don't know... there have been alot of weird things going on for sure...

I'm almost sure that NB wants to wait and see how the current sittuation in Stratovarius will develop before they will release it.

Some people even think that this whole thing is a PR-trick to sell more albums. Personally I don't know... this whole sittuation is really odd and weird, I mean... first Kotipelto had to leave and Tolkki said alot of bad things about him and promoted a new singer with LOTS of possitive words about.....

I got this reply from Nuclear Blast: "Hello there, the Stratovarious - DVD will be n o t out with...

I read that Kotipelto has not decided IF he should go to the rehearsals or not. He does not really feel like it because all the statements and words that Tolkki has written about him he said in the guestbook. But I wonder abit about Tolkki... I mean... come on! Is this the same Timo Tolkki that for ...
