Money is made in live music, There I said it. Tell me your secret. I've played Chopin petrushkas in front of people as long as I can remember. Still, they don't give me a dime even when I explicitly asked because I had no money for the bus. Everything is a cloud, or it seems to be! Where are you pl...

Money is made in live music, There I said it. Go out an gig a shit ton, then when that is done sell stuff to the people who already paid to come and watch, Double Sale. The modern day music industry (At least were I am) revolves around live music, a CD is or .mp3 digital download is merely merchandi...

Good luck

This would have been fun, but he private messaged me within hour of this post so I am quite pleased

I am possibly going to play his hangover shred for a solo performance at my music institution for an assessment and I was wonderning where is the best place to contact him for a backing track of the song? All I could get was his youtube and myspace, are those good enough? Has anyone else contacted h...

I am now looking for Lauri's solo work, which is hard to find in Australia other than his myspace page and youtube.

Can someone help me out with this as well?

Thank you very much!

G'day guys I searched the forums but I couldn't find the info I wanted. (If it is in another post, sorry. =P) I've been looking for the recordings he did with Risto and all of his solo project stuff (The "Boogie" songs) before he joined Startovarius for a little while with no luck. Is there a place ...

JPR: I just think the more raw sound of late 90's Metal is better than the current standard, it's too technology based I completely agree, that happens to me in Gather the faithfull, it's like being listening some disco music sometimes. It work's for CO but I don't think so much for Stratvarius, bu...

Well I just want to put the example of Sonata Arctica out there, they started very power metal and have developed in there last album to be quite progressive, as fresh as there change was in Unia and DOG I still prefered their early material. With Stratovarius, I'm open to them become more progressi...

That hardly sounds appropriate

LOL :rotflmao1:

From the studio footage of episode recording seen in the Infinite Visions dvd, I think he is using an ESP guitar and some Marshall amp (JCM900 I think) I never thought to look at that DVD :lol: considering is has the whole episode studio part, but ill watch that today and see what I can see! @Razie...

I noticed it on the first time and pay notice to it every time I listen to that song. I've also spoken about it with some of my friends, some of those being musicians. Everyone agrees with me that that early snare hit is there just to spice things up. That couldn't have gone unnoticed in the studio...

Episode is my favorite album and the tone that TT got was just perfection IMO, and in the future I am aiming to a get a similar sound. I'm more interested in studio gear than live gear but I would still like to know that

Peace \m/

I've always wondered about this but at 2:28 in the Baybon, Jörg sounds early on just that one snare hit, is this a mistake or just musical genius? It doesn't sound bad I've just always been intruiged. :) Alternately I got a defective copy of the Episode Album :buh: (Which I hope not), but has anyone...
