Re: StratoUnited

He answered that it would be easy to find another great guitar player but it would be impossible to replace the composer. It would be hard to fi...

Re: New Sonata Arctica Single
So basically Sonata Arctica is now just the name of Tony Kakko's solo project, cause otherwise labels and stuff wouldn't even have a look.

Re: StratoUnited
No thanks, it would be sad to see the same sloppy and imprecise style of playing of the last two tours... go watch some YouTube videos and check yourself. Perhaps if he takes it seriously and rehearses couple hours a day he could reach the required level to do a reunion and a decent live performance...

Re: New Stratovarius album: a list of demands
I knocked up against this one today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxbe5MynRI0 and it made me reaffirm all of this we're talking about... how they have turned THAT MUCH from powerful, rich and vibrant in into bland and lifeless sounding of their current https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQT292b8E88 ...

Re: New Stratovarius album: a list of demands
I guess labels they spend 1/20 of what they did on good studios in the 90's-2000's... hence sound quality consistency, ear-pleasing production good aging are lost in the majority of cases.

Re: Enigma: Intermission Pt.2 opinions
I miss Tolkki’s Stratovarius. Al these songs are ok but they dont hold the Stratovarius essence al all. Maybe I am being nostalgic but anyway.

Re: All the classic albums gone from spotify?
I'm also disappointed that those albums were taken away from Spotify... please bring them back! It hurts the band not to be there even though the conditions are not so good.

That's right. But not only for the live thing, but in composing Jani adds a different color and melodies that are totally refreshing.icecab21 wrote:i think stratovarius with 2 touring quitarists only makes the live performance stronger, 2 guitarists can't make anything weaker

If you think the current Stratovarius is not interesting or original, I unfortunately must respect your opinion...
