Stratovarius Community

I haven't seen them live, but I've heard bad things about Rhapsody.

Fright Night is the best of the three first albuns in my opinion, and also one of the best of Stratovarius. I know, maybe I'm the only one with this opinion, but...

I don't like Dreamspace that much, really. I prefer Twilight Time, but also I don't consider it as a masterpiece.

You're not the ...

God, I wish I went. I live about an hour away from Seattle, but I had no ride!

I'm trying to purchase tickets for the Seattle show, but I can't seem to find them on the website:

Are they sold out, or what?

I'm from Silverdale, which is near Bremerton. I may be going to the Seattle gig, as well.

So, who here, besides fifthtea, is going to the Seattle gig? I'm definitely going.

I'll defiantly be at the Seattle gig, unless it's 18+ to get in, which I hope to God it's not...

Wherehouse (the closest CD store) has plenty of Stratovarius. I actually bought most of my Stratovarius albums there.

The last time I was there, they had Intermission, Elements, Pt. 2, Twilight Time, and Destiny.

This may sound stupid, but I want to train to sing like Timo Tolkki, any suggestions?

I'm going to have to say Lemmy from Motorhead and Fabio Lione from Rhapsody. I don't really like Tony Kakko, either.

Hey, Tolkki, I'll see you when you guys come to Washington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, man. I can't wait!

EDIT: You're my hero!!!

EDIT #2: When you play in Washington, look for a 17 year old guy yelling to you ...

In the song, there's a line that goes:

"Which is bitch?. Take both of them in and do a spin."

What the hell does that mean?!

Some of the songs from Fright Night are pretty cheesy, like Witch-Hunt.

Some of the songs from Fright Night are pretty cheesy, like Witch-Hunt.

I hope it's not a tour for their new album. I wanna hear their old stuff live.

I'm gonna have to say Celestial Dream.

This has got to be the cheesiest line ever:

Where did all this come from?
The galaxies, the moon the stars, oh, I don't know
I really want to know what is the meaning of evolution

Green Day sucks.

If Stratovarius started writing lyrics about fighting dragons and other Rhapsody lyrics, I would stop listening to them...

in the song the lyrics dont kick in till .40 secs into the song and they (from what i can make out) it says "on a cold dark winter night, in by the stormy light, battle rages for the right for what will become. in the vally vally of the damned" so yea hopefully this will help

That can't be ...

If you have the Sonata Arctica album Silence, listen to the song Land of the Free. 2 minutes and 20 seconds into the song, it goes into a slow part and Tony Kakko yells "Hey!"

While this part is playing, imagine Timo Tolkki break dancing, it's so funny!!!

You could also listen to the HH&L live that is on Intermission.

For me, I mainly pronouce it the french way, like cliff verry accurately describes it :D

Whoa, I thought the voice at the beginning of HH&L on Intermission said "strong warriors."

I just realized it said "Strat-o-war-ius."

Do the ...

So I can be just like my hero Timo Tolkki.

Personally, I pronounce it "Strat-toe-various."

"various" as in the word "various."

But on Visions of Europe, the crowd pronounces "Strat-toe-VAR-ius."

I wish I could speak Finnish...

Check out my post in the Timo Tolkki forums near the bottom.

I have yet to complete my collection. I just need Fright Night, Fourth Dimension, Visions, and Infinite.

Here are my albums:

Twilight Time
Dreamspace
Episode
Visions of Europe
Destiny
The Chosen Ones
Intermission
Elements Part 1
Elements Part 2

I was going to register on the old board format, but they wouldn't accept my Hotmail account.

At the end of the song, two guys are talking. Someone of the forums said it was Kotipelto and Jörg discussing the ending of the song. Can anyone tell me what they say?

I put a Stratovarius bumper sticker on my '94 Ford Ranger about last May.
