Stratovarius Community

I hope you will get better soon!

I will be also there!

Kotipelto is a very good singer, but not a good melody writer. Since Tolkki had left Strato vocal themes become bad.
For me a really good singer can improvise a lot live - take a look at Freddie Mercury (I think the best rock singer ever)

Thanks Jens but Stratovarius isn't on the events list

Despite I'm from Hungary I have the chance to see the show in Vancouver because I will be on a study trip with some classmates in Canada. When I was checking out the location of the mentioned Plaza Club, I have found this:

Is it imaginable that the gig will be cancelled?

Emancipation Suites and When Mountains Fall

Time will come when you realize Fright Night is a masterpiece.

TRUE BELIVER!

I was 11 in 1999 when I have first listened to Destiny. I was a Queen and Deep Purple fan loving their fast songs. The meaning of "fast" became different with Stratovarius

Timo wrote this song to the memory of his dog, if I remember right.

I live in Hungary but I will be in Vancouver in october :banana1:

I use thin picks as well but heavy picks. Heavy riffing with light picks?

My favourite is Weikath but he is always drunken so he can't play wery well live. And another surprising thing that he uses and extremly thin and light pick which is unuseable for power metal.

Thats my hope as well thanks

Hi everybody! I'm taking part in a guitar contest on youtube. There was a backing track and I had to play the solo that I made up. You can see that I'm more into hard rock than metal :) I hope you will like it, please rate and comment there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsUGKyEh5Ac thanks :headban...

I say Elements pt 2 is the weakest Stratovarius album, but it doesn'n mean it isn't a masterpiece

-300005 :stfu:

I think S/T album is better than Elements pt II.

This is me:

Sorry guys but this song is only like a mixture of some Kotipelto songs like Knowledge and Wisdom or Seeds of Sorrow. Nothing new or fresh in the melody which is too hackneyed. Timos vocal theme is too easy and predictable. The only thing I'm satisfied with is the guitar and keyboard which is more w...

I am nearly finished but I also nearly fell asleep listening to it. The Album is boring. The only good song is "Into The Future". The rest is IMO boring and uninspired. Behind the Mask is the worst track. Sounds like boring Alternative Metal. I liked the version that was up on Gus' MySpace 100 time...

Episode and Elements pt 1

Revolution Renaissance

I don't share your enthousiasm. I think it is wrong that the guys continue with the name Stratovarius. This is terribly wrong. I think this is a lack of respect to the fans because for us, Stratovarius was and will always be Kotipelto, Tolkki, Jens, Jörg... and Jari. leave Stratovarius behind and s...

After Tolkki gave his blessing for us to go on without him (for the music, not for the name)

So I'm pretty curious how you have choosen to reborn (not return) as Stratovarius?

but all in all I always will be a grat fan of your music
