Weird, hmmm, well now I'm really curious as to why he kept switching them...

Well didnt any notice that it seemed like they were having some technical problems at the galaxy?... I mean Timo Tolkki was off the stage half the time.... :lol: :lol: ...he kept switching between his new dolphin guitar and a black one

I was also wondering this, but then I thought that the ...

I wonder why they don't play SOS on this tour? Man... if they would have played SOS at Santa Ana, I think I would have wet myself...

BTW, anyone think that Kotipelto was too low in volume during the show??

He said he was part Russian himself though?

Ny kak dela rebata! Bcem privet! Stratovarius uzhe ckoro dolzhni v Rosiye igrat, kto nibudi poydot?

I can now say from the Santa Ana show that these shows are loud enough! I didnt use my earplugs the whole night, I was a little dissapointed that they turned Kotipelto down, I couldn't really hear him that well until the 2nd half of the show. Did anyone else notice this?

here are some from the Santa Ana show (well the links at least)

Awesome description Burning Reflection! Yea, that Santa Ana show had a lot of enery (I certainly did :lol:) I'm surprised I didn't loose my voice after that show because I certainly did a lot of yelling! Its funny, I admit that when I first heard Maniac Dance I thought it was an average song, but ...

Man! I'm so pumped for tonights show, what was the turn out like? About how many people would you guys say turn up?

Great descriptions! Thank you!

Santa Ana, here we come!!!!

I fortunately have my Infinite CD with me at my dorm, so I will be bringing that along for sure!

I wonder if Strato has something special planned for the Santa Ana show?? I mean it is going to be the last venue on there first trip to the US!

I have heard of Stradovarius, they aren't that good...

Thanks guys! I will definetly make sure to bring my ear plugs with me!

Tolkki plays ESP Guitars. He's currently playing an ENGL head with a Marshall Cab. As for effects, he uses the T.C. Electronics G-Force. Not sure about pickups. This is his current set up. There's also other threads on the forum where Tolkki answered questions about his gear himself.

Has Tolkki ...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering from your experiences (especially those of you who have seen them in the US or small venues) on how loud these guys play? Would you guys recommend I bring ear-plugs? Don't get me wrong, I love when bands crank but not too much...

Pretty fine, thanks! what about u ?

Been doing well man, excited as heck to finally get to see Strato live next Monday! :D



Yep! Thats you! My memory is still sharp as a tack!
You were a very regular poster, too!

Haha, I'm glad to hear you still remember. I had nothing compared to you on ...
