Stratovarius Community

Old 69 Eyes is quite gothic to me.

"Supersankarikerho" ("Super hero club") especially is a great song!

Anssi Nykänen is one hell of a drummer, easily one of the best in Finland. Quite a record, I'm sure of it.

Timo T doesn't seem to get new music published, new obstacles occur all the time.

However if he'd donate / compose 2-3 songs on every new Strato-album or to be released as single "B-sides", that would do for me. That doesn't require him back to the band (I don't hope that either) but would work for ...

I think the band sounds being in balance now. Good song. Catchy chorus especially at the end of the song.

Maybe Thunderstone could now do anything at all. They have been silent for almost 3 years now. I think they should let Jukka focus on Status Minor (which is a lot better band than Thunderstone) and get another keyboardist.
Well sure their drummer has been busy making money by selling music for ...

Helvetin hyvä levy! Och samma på svenska.

Great record that is, especially loving the version of Perfect Strangers, and of course, the Strato songs.

Yes, the very same duo/band.

:lol:

EDIT: According to ...

Tavastia gig was awesome. No doubt that Tampere (Tammerfest today) will also be. Rolf has brought whole new level of energy to Strato. Very recommended to go and see yourself, if and when possible.

Great news! I'll be on the Tavastia gig.

After listening SGHN for this day (bought it on morning), I have to say this is a very good album. Only 2 songs which I don't care for so much (slower ballads).

I still consider Silence and Reckoning Night as their best albums (can't beat them), however they aren't comparable to this one due to ...

I never even heard of this. It´s on the internet and it is not true. Why would anybody do that. Where is the world going to.

There are lots of untrue things in net. I suppose that's one way to get that few seconds of fame when people think he's the one. Kind of information spamming. :-) Traffic ...

Strato's 4th Dimension album...the song that kicked my ass was 'Distant Skies'...I remember hearing it first time while sitting in a friend's car somewhere on spring winter -95 ... and I was drunk, naturally.

There indeed are a few videos on tube, just look for "stratovarius audition".

This was quite good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEL2zrixokE (mainly because the set looks small so the movements are emphasized)

Although my favorite is Alex. It's just not about that you are good to play but it ...

I think that it is well-said that a band is similar to a regular workplace. Some workers stay longer, some leave sooner. Usually long duration of employment is preferred, but sometimes the time just runs out and inevitable changes happen...

If for example a CEO or management team member leaves ...
