" The Curtains are Falling ". It ain't going to be the "next" album, it'll be the final one for sure. Though I like the idea of bringing Lassila and Ikonen for this final goodbye. I hope it will be as beautiful as the albums of the golden era (1994-2001), and not as pessimistic as both "Elements" (o...

here (argentina) there are small groups of people called skinheads that are more or less like nazis i think that in the rest of the world too... Oh yes, may be sure, there is a LOT of skinheads here in Russia. Some amount even in my city, though their activity here is subtile for Siberia is a multi...

After watching " Hitler: the Rise of Evil " I've got a sense that Hitler's blame for all that happened was not that serious as everyone used to think. Then after analyzing several other histories similar to the Hitler's (Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Mao Tse-tung) I can say that the whole process of dow...

It's great, great, great... No other words.

Maybe true, maybe not. Time will tell. Time only time will tell If there'll be heaven or hell Time only time will tell If there'll be heaven or hell They absolutely can work on some new material. There is enough of time has already passed and Timo feels much better now, seems that they have buried ...

The end? No-o-o ... Remember:

Like the Phoenix I rise
From the ashes of life
I don't need fortune or fame
Just some peace of mind

Just give Timo some time to get back to himself!!!

I think no one of Stratomembers is obliged to explain any ill-favored accidents even if they really had a place.

I don't like both Elements because they were written when Timo was already in the state of deep affect. I really don't like the blasphemous notes of "Hymn to Life" that can be heard there. I hate blasphemy. One should be really delusioned to call God "plastic". May be Timo was raised in a too devout...

Are Antti Ikonen and Tuomo Lassila dancers? here is written that they write a Dance Choreographie or something This Project has the title "Sinne missä sataa" http://www.danceinfo.fi/tanka/database/teokset/teosViewForm?teos_id=2547&eng=1 It was pretty long ago, in 1994. To finish the set, I can poin...

Found some info from September 1998 ( link ): Antti Ikonen released a solo MCD with some of his newer keyboard material. His new material isn't metal, it is somewhat ambient music. He has also played in a band called "Juhlavammat Juhlavammat" and they have released a couple of CDs. ... (Antti) was a...

That's a different Conquest

Amzaing Two metal bands with the same name.

No, Tuomo no longer plays in Conquest. Tim Fleetwood is their drummer now. Possibly he's left the band after their first album "Rage". Seems that he doesn't play in any band now, but interesting that I've found some evidence of that he played in Firefall and Tekniikan Ihmeet ( http://www.tartareande...

Plays in orchestra? And what instrument?

What did Lassila do after he left Stratovarius? How is he doing how and what is he doing? Is he alive at all?

Ever heard an Opeth album? :D Bluha-a-a-a-r-r-r-rdh!!! I don't think it's a music at all. All that Burzum-Borknagar is killing me, even Satyricon, Bal-Sagoth and of that kind. I listen to metal for a long time already but still feel it's not my kind of music, not my philosophy. Strange that I, bein...

My God! Only NOT Elements! It was exacly that time when Tolkki became totally crazy after the known grievous incident. Both Elements are soaking-wet with endless depression, not to mention "Hymn to Life"! I'd better call it "Hymn to Self-destruction"! Thank Goodness Tolkki's worst time seems is behi...

And listen to your heart. It's the only thing that will guide your fingers the right way. At least it does it with mine ...

Bands presumably: Efenstor, Nightingale (Dan&Dag Swanö), Otyg, Enigma, Axel Rudi Pell, Dragonland, Iron Savior, Antichrisis, Aesma Daeva, Tuatha de Danann, Pink Floyd, Kings Galliard, the Dalriada Brothers, the Blarney Lads (Waxies Dargle) and a bunch of others in lesser degree. Composers definitely...

The only keyboard tablatures I've ever seen were ordinary scores. I don't know do such thing exists at all or not. Indeed I'm too lazy to learn classical notation but trying hard

Tasty thing. Reminds of 1000 Rainy Nights ...

CASIO CTK-691. Not a big time but sounds cool enough for my modest demands. Plus Hohner recorder, a no-name classic guitar and a Sennheiser E835 mike. Plus my ability to turn nothing into something at least unusual
