Stratovarius Community

That's simply....AWESOME!!
"Deep unknown" seems to be the best Strato-song since many years..! A fresh song with great melodies and complex/amazing keys-guitar solos.
Really GREAT work guys!

YESSSSSS
GREATEST 2008 NEWS!!!!! :headbang:

Thank you Strato-guys, you have our total support!
Can't wait for:
1) new STRATOVARIUS album - 2) new STRATOVARIUS italian gigs - 3) etc.

Please keep the Stratovarius name guys, Stratovarius is more then just a band name it's something we fans have grown to love and would like to see continue on. Most of the fans agree with you, Hiro23, and...me too. Besides that, last chapters with TT were not so decorous...so it's necessary a new a...

That sounds absolutely GREAT!
In a few seconds, more energy (and more Stratovarius.....) than in the entire "Stratovarius" self titled album

...and what about this Jens-Timo duet? :headbang:

Excuse me?

....anyway, you posted a Lauri's solo....

...ehm...
Sorry for instrumental lapsus...

Welcome Matias!
Virtuoso GUITARIST and talented musician.
A bright future to come...

Oh no, please not "Strato"...that's a nickname, not a band monicker... It doesn't mean nothing, and people/magazines will call them "half Stratovarius". :cry: I think they should use "Stratovarius" name, or a variation like this: a good band name would be "STRATOFORTRESS". It sounds good and we coul...

That's also my opinion and I think that next Strato-version will be amazingly good for many people.

I voted Stratosphere, the most balanced. Besides stunning guitar/keys, there's a great bass work from Jari.

It is advantageous for him to promote RR with so called "Strato legacy" - you may see the slogan on their MySpace page. But it`s strange to use this legacy when the original Stratovarius still exists. That`s why Tolkki is insisting on changing the name. Well, I know many people thinking that "Hello...

That's just what TOLKKI says. As Jens wrote, "all solutions are still on the table".
I am very attached to Stratovarius monicker and I hope they are going to use it (...even though it's maybe better a change of name than a legal fight with delayed cd...).

In chronological order: CD1 (1992-1996) p.s. sorry, nothing from Fright Night :P 1. OUT OF THE SHADOWS - 2. HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAM 3. WE ARE THE FUTURE - 4. AGAINST THE WIND 5. LORD OF THE WASTELAND 6. TWILIGHT SYMPHONY - 7. FATHER TIME 8. WILL THE SUN RISE? 9. SEASON OF CHANGE 10. FOREVER - CD2 (199...

I believe it will be interesting reading for many.

Not for me. More ridicolous gossip stuff.

I believe what TT said about Jörg and Kotipelto. I think this new Stratovarius will only record just one record or two. After it Jörg and Timo will leave. I don't believe at all in TT's gossip. I'm sure Strato-guys will demonstrate that you are wrong by facts, and first of all with a great album an...

but if that not happens, i like....simple


STRATO

...STRATOSPHERE! (and what about Stratofortress? )

I think Kay was talking about the opening post (...really good news indeed! )

If they decide to change the name, I think something like "Black Diamond" or "Twilight Symphony" would be nice :headbang:
Or maybe "Kiss of Judas" (suggested by TT )

I voted YES.
I think they should use the name, especially after the last weird announcement from TT...
Actually (Strato or not) more important is the music they're going to make together(TK-JJ-JM-LP...MK? ): JJ is working in studio right now, and that's great!
