Stratovarius Community

When I got Tolkki to sign Fright Night in Calgary he was going on and on about how horrible he thinks it is. He even offered to buy it from me so he could burn it. I told him that I like it a lot and there's many good songs on it. He laughed at that.

Hey guys,

Not sure if any of you (Jens??) are reading the forum during the tour, but I just wanted to thank everyone and Jorg especially for inviting my girlfriend and I on the bus in Calgary and letting us get warm again. You were all extremely gracious and it was an amazing experience to be able ...

As for the signing session, the band knew nothing about it when I talked to them around noon. When I showed them they were scheduled for 5:00, they were surprised and said they had already other plans for that time.


Hey, I was right there with you when that all happened! I was about to post ...

I talked to the local metal promoter last night at the Strapping Young Lad show (AWESOME show by the way) and he confirmed Stratovarius will be playing with Into Eternity. That'll also be the third time IE will be playing here this year.

I just saw on Ticketmaster that Stratovarius is playing Edmonton (Canada) on October 2. Has the tour been extended to cover Canada as well? That's insanity and I LOVE it!!!

Since the tour page hasn't been updated, can Timo or Jens confirm this tour date??

Well then, we'll definitely have to talk while you're waiting to take pictures this year. :)

Hmmm... would the guy in the picture be from Wuthering Heights? I can't remember if they're Swedish or not. Other than that, it has to be from Tad Morose, but I don't remember them being at the pre-party ...

I would like to hear a Fleetwood Mac cover simply because FM is my girlfriend's favorite band and I think Lindsey Buckingham is an awesome guitar player. I'm sure Timo T would sound awesome playing "I'm So Afraid", "Second Hand News" or "Go Insane".

That would be rare indeed since I've never even heard it existed! I hope it's not true, or else I really don't have all the Stratovarius CDs and that would make me upset!

Hey, I know you! I talked to you last year when you were waiting to take pictures. And I also recognize the other guy in the pictures. Since you're sharing, here's my Jon Oliva pics!

I'd have to say Requiem or Stratofortress.

One of the many things that makes ProgPower such a cool festival is that Glenn, the promoter, schedules signing sessions for all the bands. Unfortunately, and this was ESPECIALLY true last year, some people take advantage of this and dump a truck load of stuff on the table, eating up all the the ...

I saw one a little while back, but I'm pretty sure you'd get around $20 US for it. Maybe wait until they go on tour and then there should be more interest for Stratovarius stuff.

I know I was ecstatic when I won my copy from eBay, so I'm sure there's a few more out there like myself.

Happy Birthday Timo! I can't wait to meet you in September at ProgPower!!!!

Since Progpower 6 will be Stratovarius' first ever journey to the US, I'm sure there will be several fans, like myself, who will have a shitload of stuff for the guys to sign.

My question is, how much is too much?

As this will probably be my only chance to see Stratovarius live and especially the ...
