Stratovarius Community

Holy shit it's so good to see Stratovarius live! Sadly had to leave early, but still totally worth it.

Is it just me or was the music painfully loud? I went to the back of the venue actually cause I was afraid it would do damage to my ears...

Is anyone else stuck in cold and rainy Lindau? I could use a beer...

Yep, the venue website also lists the show as canceled.

Wonder what will happen to the Munich concert, I hope we have news soon so I can get a partial refund on my ticket...

Hope Timo is okay, everyone has been sick lately.

Hi, Anyone else planning to attend the concerts in southern Germany? I'll go to the Lindau and Stuttgart concerts at least. Would anyone like to meet up? I will go to the Milan gig but I'll try to go to the Lindau one as well I'll be there! PM me if you'd like to meet up. I must advise though, my G...

Anyone else having trouble buying the tickets for the Munich concert? Backstage is listing a different concert at that date, wtf?

I've moved here a couple years ago. :-) So yea, I don't think going from the Hbf to the venues and back is going to be a big problem. The main problem really is that I don't know at what time the concerts end, so I don't know if I'd have time to get to the last train back to Stuttgart. The last trai...

Hi, Anyone else planning to attend the concerts in southern Germany? I'll go to the Lindau and Stuttgart concerts at least. Would anyone like to meet up? I wanted to go to München, Frankfurt and Karlsruhe as well, but it's all a bit uncertain because the last trains back to Stuttgart leave at midnig...

Fuck yeah!!! :headbang::headbang::headbang:

Can't wait for the 18th, so psyched! Also can't believe they'll play Eternity, it'll be really special. I wish Nemesis was in the set. And Forever or, even better, Season of Change instead of If The Story is Over. But damn, can't really complain. It'll be my 4th Strato concert, it's always very emot...

The sample is amazing, sounds incredibly fresh! This is gonna be an epic album, can't wait!

Oh man, I'd waited so long for this DVD! I was really moved the whole time. Can't wait for my copy to arrive. The mini documentary is really beautiful, it's fantastic to look back all those years, there has been so much history, we've been through so much, good and bad times. I'm so glad for Stratov...

I'm curious to see how that's gonna play out, he seems to use a much smaller drum kit:

If that's correct, that's awesome!

As for the poll question, if it were any other band, I'd be happy about S/T cause it was a solid album. But we got used to expecting greatness from Strato, and S/T was pretty good, but not great. All things considered, now that we are aware of the troubles those guys went through at the time, I thin...

Somehow it took me years to recognize the beauty of songs like Lead Us Into the Light and Tears of Ice. If Strato recorded those songs with Koti singing, they'd be truly perfect.

Not an easy decision.

1. Battle of the Gods (so f'ing epic)
2. Around
3. Lord of Eternity

That said, I think Serenity is the best album. Last Defender is indeed fantastic, I remember I used to listen to it over and over and over...

We do have enough tracks for at least an EP. Those were the bonus tracks that aren't in Intermission (please let me know if I'm missing any of them): * Into the Deep Blue (~6:21) * Ride Like the Wind (4:49) * Second Sight (4:25) * Castaway (4:39) * Hallowed (~5:57) * Last Shore (~5:50) Runaway? yes...

thats not gonna happen

Why?

I don't quite get it, I'm not saying I'd like them to stop doing everything they're doing now to make an Intermission-like album. I'm saying I wish they did that eventually.

I really don't get it, am I the only one who loves their bonus tracks?

Really excited about their upcoming album!

Yeah, I'm not suggesting they take a break.

Intermission was a great idea, though. I wish more bands released albums like that. Bonus tracks are a bitch to track down. And some of Stratovarius' finest works are bonus tracks (to me anyways).

Hi, I just managed to listen to those songs, they're so amazing! Is it true that they're only available in the 7" vinyl? I don't even have a record player, let alone something that allows me to record from vinyl... :( And even if I had a way to record from vinyl, the quality would probably suck (lik...

Hah, the other night I had this dream where I was getting drunk with Jörg... Exactly the same accent, ja?

12. When The Night Meets The Day

What a masterpiece.

How I'd like to hear again TT making music like that. I now it's impossible, but...

Gotta second this. It's one of my favorite songs ever.

Farewell, Jörg! You'll be missed.

I hope you're healthy and enjoying life! We wish you the best.

Thanks for all those fantastic years! You are and always will be a part of my life.

Words can't express how thankful I am for having the opportunity to see Strato live once again.



See you on friday. Can't wait.

'Darkest Hours’ is the first offering from the current line-up

Huh...

The only thing right about the review is the rating.

Jörg, I don't think you will read this as this is just another post in a long thread, but I'm writing anyways because that's the only thing I can do at the moment. Stratovarius has such a relevance in my life that I consider all Stratovarius members (and most of the former members too) close friends...
