Stratovarius Community

When it comes to germany, the only bands that get mentioned relatively often are Scorpions, Rammstein and Oomph. I'd like to know how stratos status in the finnish media is. I imagine their status has been boosted by Kotipelto's recent reality tv thing. Side note. Oomph! are fantastic...but judging...

Argh

I'd love to meet Stratovarius. Though I do tend to come over all shy and weird (I'm a bit of a fanboi, I guess ). So it's probably best I don't.

Out of the ones I actually have a song I really don't like on

Visions: The Kiss of Judas (too 80s hard rock for my liking)
Elements Pt. 1: Papillon
Elements Pt. 2: Awaken the Giant
Stratovarius: Back to Madness
Polaris: Falling Star

neither looked better than the other in my opinion. But, the lily represented where they were, and the star is where they are now.

They should keep the star.

I still have my old stratovarius fabric poster on my wall with pride.

Rage. :lol: :lol: :lol: Sometimes you are so incredible hilarious. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :err: Why? This is my opinion! Winter Skies is just a tedious and slow song which I automaticly skip when I listen to the album. "When Mountains Fall" tries desperately to be the 2nd "Forever" but fails horri...

I got mine (shortly after HMV sold out, they did get more). Seems mine was one of the last signed by many people...signatures seem a little rushed. That's not a complaint though...if I had 3000 signatures to do, I'd have just laid them in a line and ran my pen along them. :) Mine is opened...sadly. ...

For the love of God, this matter HAS to be laid to rest. The dead horse has been flogged enough. Everyone seems o be searching for a comfy little conclusion, but it will never happen. I love Stratovarius. I don't like RR, but that's not because I think it;s bad, it just not my cup of tea. However, I...

This is all very interesting. A mixture of unhelpful comments from Tolkki (who, by the way believes they are rational) and unhelpful comments from Stratovarius forum users (who, by the way, believe they are rational). The fact is, Tolkki can write about whoever he wants, whenever he wants, and this ...

Ditto on the monday show I am so looking forward to it.

Thoroughly looking forward to the 18th. Tad shame about the venue, but oh well, can't be helped

Why is everything at Islington these days? Electric Ballroom is being neglected a little

I thoroughly dislike Dragonforce, I find them repetative and dull. I actually like one of their early breakaways (Southampton-based Power Quest, who are a good laugh if you like glitzy 80's influenced power metal with MASSES of keyboards). For Stratovarian metal, my recommendation would be early Son...

I wonder if it will ever be broadcast in England...Our channels tend to only be about Europe and America

Happy birthday, Jörg, many good wishes from Winchester!

Happy birthday!

The big one, this year? Not past it yet though! Keep up the good work, and all the best for the future!
