Stratovarius Community

I'm in that picture, you can't make me out though. I'm in about the 3rd row pretty much in line with Jens. It was a brilliant show, a bit of a tease though, with only 3 songs. HH&L got a great response from the crowd, it was fantastic how many people were singing along. The new bassist was great too ...

I'll be there

It is power, but not like most euro-power metal (although i've only head maniac dance, so I don't know what the rest is like).

I've listened to Maniac Dance and I thought I was listening to megadeth for a second, I didn't know Dave Mustaine was stratovarius's new singer

I don't see how anyone can say that Elements part 2 is better than part one, with songs like Eagleheart, Soul of a Vagabond, Learning to fly and Elements.

Also, I don't see how visions is so much better than Elements part 1.

I assume the euro dates will come soon afterwards?

Death - Scream Bloody Gore

Now THAT would be interesting

For a more serious one, i'd like to hear them cover Rainbow - Man on the silver mountain

Learning to fly or Soul of a vagabond probably.

Legions is brilliant too.

*Alpha and Omega
*Eagleheart
*Learning To Fly
*I walk to my own song
*Stratofortress
*Dreamweaver
*im still alive
*Know the difference
*Awaken the giant
*Find your own voice
*Soul of a vagabond

Just felt the the elements albums needed more love

What about "Hitler was a sensitive man"?

I already made a thread there:

I'd assume not if you can't spell Buddhist right

I think it's too early for me to make decisions about my beliefs.

Here's something i've wanted to know for a while, what's the difference between manga and anime?

I think it's likely that bush will somehow be involved in armageddon.

Another possible line-up:

Ronnie James Dio - Vocals
Timo Tolkki - Guitar
Ritchie Blackmore - Guitar
Craig Gruber - Bass
Janne Wirman - Keyboard
Jörg Michael - Drums

Fantasia

This is very good, although I must say from what I can hear the lyrics aren't brilliant

'Power/Speed Metal with harsh vocals' http://www.metal-archives.com/ has spoken

I'm not exactly brilliant, but I play bass. I can only play with a plectrum though. BTW, if you don't allready use guitarpro, I suggest you start using it. It makes learning songs a lot easier

Not an orchestral piece, but how many people here have heard the intro song to FFX ('Otherworld')? I thought it was awesome when I first heard it. I was surprised to hear metal in a FF game

Vocals - Byron (Bal-Sagoth)
Vocals - Tarja (Nightwish) or Liv Kristine Espenæs (Theatre of tragedy)
Guitar - Micheal Angelo Baito (http://www.angelo.com/)
Guitar - Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom)
Bass - Jari Kainulainen (Stratovarius) or Cliff Burton if he was still alive
Keyboards - Jens Johansson ...

NILE!!!!

I think children of bodom are speed metal actually.

In Flames, God Forbid, Lamb of God, The Haunted, Unearth, Diecast, Deicide, Dimmu Borgir, Mnemic, Killswitch Engage and Opeth are the ones I can think of at the moment. All of these might not be death metal though, but for me it could ...

Fantasia (If this was an instumental, it'd be good. The part with singing in the middle is SO INCREDIBLY CHEESY though...)
Pappilon
Know the difference (Again, if this was an instrumental it'd be good. What is up with kotipelto's voice on this song )
Luminous (FEEL THE CHEESE)
