Re: New Kotipelto album
I'll buy the new album. If it has Romeo on it that's one of the best parts! I hope so, but I haven't heard anything on that, has anyone else? I asked Romeo about it in an on-line chat with the fan club a few months ago and all he had to say was if Timo asked him, he'd love to do it. Don't know if i...

Re: Stratovarius 2006 - What's going on??
Well, it's great to hear some news from Timo. I hope his health stays good and continues to improve. Though the last album certainly wasn't their strongest, I thought it was still quite good. Some of the songs I really liked a lot, though there definitely were a few weak ones. I think it was a neces...

Wow, you ain't kidding! This band kicks serious ass! All that experience really show. Gritty yet polished. Demolished by Fire is one rocking tune and I hear a hint of BLS in Anathematized. Can't wait to hear more. Any idea when they're going to release a cd? :headbang:

Re: ABOUT STRATO FORUM SITUATION
What I noticed is that there are now 3 topics concerning the state of the forum and moderating.
I think topics about individual shows catch people's eye quicker instead of lumping them into one topic. Besides, that seems to be the least of the problem.
