Stratovarius Community

Goes between Soul of a Vagabond and Twilight Symphony i think.

The show was awesome! Twiligth Symphony was sooo nice to hear live.

Come on. What is good about the name Hammerfall? And Manowar? You just pick your favouritebands.

A great bandname is Slayer. Motivation? It fits perfect to the music and the style Slayer came up with.

Yes, of course. There are hard to pick bands that sounds exactly like Strato and Sonata, cuz there are no.

Vocals: King Diamond
Guitar: Viktor Smolsky
Guitar: Andy LaRoque
Bass: Steve Harris
Drums: Joey Jordison
Keys: Jens Johansson

If you like Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica, then look into bands like Helloween, Dionysus, Hammerfall, Rhapsody, Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Freedom Call, Gamma Ray, Angra.. And so on.

Well, bootlegs does not make the band any money, but I have bought so many cd's that I think I deserve that one ;) My Visions of Destiny is the printed one, in a jewelcase. I have also heard of a digipack version? Or is that just rumours? I own a digipack version of Visions of Destiny. So it's not ...

The kid is a true king! Name anyone, besides Michael Jackson that would do that song as great as him??

But sure, he is kinda gay.

Jens; how about you telling us which solo is the hardest one to play?

Nah, keep Black Diamond in the setlist. But i dont mind if you dont play Kiss of Judas for a couple of shows. Sure, it's a very great song! But not a real entertaining song to hear live. I would like to hear No turning back, once.

So you say the promotional ones is more common then the regular? Well in that case i should be glad, cuz i have both of them.

Forgot my Episode LP.

Its a Mystery 7"
Black Diamond promotional copy

Then i have some bootlegs that i won't count.

* Soul of a Vagabond * Distant Skies * Twilight Symphony * Anthem of the World * It's a Mystery * When the Curtains are Falling * Infinity * Awaken the Giant * Black Night * Elements * Cold winter nights * Black Diamond # For the feeling =) * Hold on to your dream * Will the sun rise * Forest Song #...

Well, if counting speed, then i would say "Find your own voice".

Fourth Dimension is the best Stratovarius album imo.

I think the rarest stratosingle would be Against The Wind, am I correct? Never heard of it either... I think the rarest is Wings Of Tomorrow since it was only released in Greece. Or maybe Future Shock, the very first one. From those two, it's definatly Future Shock. Wings of Tomorrow goes for 25-40...

That must be a bullshit, or at least a fake CD.

Yeah, i suppose so. By the way. What is the (1576+13) in every post you make?

A promotional copy of the single will probably get you a nice amount of money since it's very rare. I own a promotional copy of the Black Diamond single but will never let it go since i never seen another copy.

Against the wind single? Never heard of it either. Sure it exists?

What program are you guys using to do this midi's?
