Stratovarius Community

Yea!

(PMs are still here btw)

I guess Strato Forum is like a time capsule, it caught some part of time that means still a lot, then life went on and everyone followed their own path but there is still somewhere on the internet that place where we used to sp4m. Habby 18 years abbiversary ...

I'd go for Wii U because I already have a killing PC to play games.
Nintendo seem to be the only one in the list who bring something different compared to PC games

But PS4 would definitely be the best choice for non PC-gamers.

I might still have some pages from the 1997's official website somewhere in my archives (when it used to be www.netlife.fi/~strato).
I also have printed interviews and tabs from that area in some folder.

I also found the my old Distant Skies pages (1997) in some other archives.

Time flies...

Good luck to him and welcome to the band!

joku on varmasti liian paljon aika kädessänsä

I'm working on writing some music, but it doesn't sound that great when I record it. Granted, my recording gear probably has something to do with it, but even when I plug my amp straight into my computer, it still loses some of the "edge" or distortion to it. What do you guys use to record music ...

Aahh I miss my old signature

btw, new Blaze Bayley album Promise And Terror out on 1st of February

Human Temple of course! Amazing AOR band.
I saw them live in Kuopiorock festival in 2004. Uncredible singer.

It's a real shame they are not that popular.

I'll get the new album. Their previous effort Insomnia was full of hit songs.

It isn't awesome. It is a blud-ray player that accedently can also play video games. And it is still too fucking expensive.

Just like the PSP is a portable video player and emulation console that can also play PSP games. Except Ridge Racer, I have not seen a decent game on the PSP (I sold it few ...

I'll let you know if I find out what is on the CD! The customer (as always) has the choice if they want to buy or not.
I am ready to bet that it's the Millions Lightyears Away single.
When the single came out, NR were selling that special "x-mas" package with the dvd, the single and the nice red ...

By the way... regarding the poll, it's Atari and Bandai. Wouldn't want you suing the innocent. :P
Hmm. Now I'm confused. Maybe we should sue all three just to make sure!!
If I remember correctly, it is Bandai who is responsible for DBZ games.
It cannot be Nintendo because Budokai is also ...

Rappers have no talent.
This is why they always use/steal samples made by great artists.

yep, when I played DBZ Budokai 2 for the first time (great game, btw!) I clearly noticed that the intro music sounded really a lot like some Strato stuffs but I wouldn't call that plagia or whatever.

Now after checking that video (it contains some DBZ songs I haven't heard before), it sounds like ...

the choir leaders pick ordinary people for a choir from their respective home towns. i
I am not sure of that. Antti for example (the huge guy with incredible voice, also singer in Celesty... really nice guy, btw) was born in Helsinki, and Celesty is from Seinäjoki.

On the other hand, try to ...

Antti, of course. He did it more than well, btw.
Congratulations Timon kuoro

So you didn't go finally for my "Fuck 'em all!" idea?

No, that's Antony Parviainen from Machine Men.

and for those who wants to see a picture of Timo as a baby...

That's right. The Ari Koivunen / Lordi syndrome.

WTF! Sleeping is for week people.. and some frenchs too ! I'm sitting in the studio alone, drinking some fresh coffee, copying stuff from harddrive to another, thinking what went wrong, editing audio files, listning some strato songs...this how art is made!!! Mixing starts in three hours in the ...

Good luck Timo team !

(check out the last singer - If I am not mistaken, this is Irina. No offense, but I think she has good chance to win the contest...)

After the holy-lord-amazing 'K-70" program, , everything is now possible on Finnish TV

Congratulations!!!

I don't share your enthousiasm.
I think it is wrong that the guys continue with the name Stratovarius. This is terribly wrong. I think this is a lack of respect to the fans because for us, Stratovarius was and will always be Kotipelto, Tolkki, Jens, Jörg... and Jari.
leave Stratovarius behind and ...

In Finland we pay usually 18-24 euros for a new cd, with current rate 28-37 US dollars. Now adays it's cheaper to order from Japan, and the cd is delivered to home. :?
24 euros for one CD? Well, if you buy them from Stockmann or Sokos, then yes 8)
Usually CDs in Finland are 18,99€ or 19,99€ (new ...
