Stratovarius Community

Thank you all!! :) Not a very festive birthday .. sitting by myself in front of a computer in a basement writing and recording. :) Like so many other birthdays I guess! Now it's 120 minutes past birthday and I'm having a plastic mug of white wine to celebrate and hopefully to put me to sleep ... ch...

That reminds me... Henrik still can't play it perfectly at their shows.

And he never will. He is one of the keyboardists I really don't respect.

sorry for my lack of expression, i already heard dthe demos a few times, but what i really miss, is the solo duets, that rampage of solos between the guitar and the keys. The new songs, like a i said before, are too similar to songs in 'new era'. Also 'Loneliness' starts with the same keyboard of a...

So, I don't want DT on Stratovarius.

Agreed. But anything's ok as long as it sounds good

Hahah I think I'd believe that too. Iceland really seems to be in some trouble. Luckily Finland has so far not suffered too much.

It's true that often music isn't mixed or mastered (or both) well enough. I have always enjoyed the fact how Stratosongs have been mixed. I hope it remains as good :) Also Sabaton's newest album has been mixed damn well I think! Cranberries' albums are pretty well mixed too :) That video's pretty go...

I couldn't help but to laugh at that website :D "Stratovarius is a power metal band from Finland. Hugely popular in Europe, they have yet to achieve worldwide success. " They seem to think that North America is the same as the world. "For reasons unknown, Tolkki walked away, gave the band name and a...

Hahaha, hyvä Lauri!

I have to try the Jaffa or that Lauri thing. Maybe I'll become as good player

Just a little question...what is this ? A bottle, I know...Sorry if it's obvious for you.

That looks to me like an ordinary Hartwall Jaffa -bottle

GREAT! Jens, was that you whistling on the vid by the way? :p

Oh yeah, kyllä! You're clearly going to be a movie director!

Thanks for the video, Lauri! At least the sound is enough good to be heard

Sounds good by the way!

Kiitos!

Oh my god, they killed reincarnated Kenny! You bastards!

:d

Jens, could you make us an RSS-feed of the entries?

That would make me happy at least, dunno about Lauri though

Ohoh, on vähän vaihtunut soittimet. Nykyään on tosiaan seuraavanlainen setti:

Yamaha DX7
M-Audio Keystation 88ES
Roland SonicCell
Edit: Lisäksi tuli Roland JV-1010 orchestral-lisäkortilla, jotta kelpaa Stratoa soitella

Nyt alkaa olla ihan tyytyväinen settiin

All of the afore mentioned are good, but what about DESTINY, and WILL MY SOUL EVER REST IN PEACE? Those are played with obvious very much feeling. And, the solos in SOS&KISS OF JUDAS are very lively, and intense. Very good. You are so right. Just listened to Will my soul ever rest in peace and thou...

Ones that I consider very good are probably

Dream with me - So much feeling it brings tears to my eyes
Liberty - Quite the same here

god he fucked up eagleheart on that wacken video. and tolkki fucked with it too lol it was rather a fun performance to watch. in the gigs that i ahve seen kotipelto can be spot on or miss by a lot but his misses still sound great to me. he signs higher in the stratogigs that i have seen and in koti...

All of them

Here's something for you all stratolikers out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwueX92PKSU

Other than that, we'll have some news for you when there is some news :) Oh is that so? :D I've been wondering the fuss about the Stratovarius "get together"-album that Tolkki is going to do with Tuomo Lassila and Antti Ikonen. Can that be labeled Stratovarius now? I missed the whole thing about th...

MikeWacho wrote::funlo:

no fun with that post...(@elements)

everybody knows that TT wrote 95% of the actual back catalog (and RR)

so unless this is another lassila joke, it just makes no sense...

Agreed. Definitely was Tolkki's band.

LOL!

Raz, you really made my day I can't stop laughing!

This is for whoever controls Strato's myspace. Call me nitpicky but I am bothered every time I look at the "Label" because it says Sranctuary It won't bother me if its on purpose but anyway. So is it just a typographic error?

Ja ois sitte kiva saada siihen muidenkin Stratovariuksen jäsenten nimet alle, ettei jälkeen päin tule sitten mitään ihme protesteja joka ikiselle lauseelle mitä siinä lukisi.

Nissan Altima?

Here in Finland gas costs about 3$ per litre. And if a gallon is around 4 litres it would be 12$ a gallon. And the price is rising at a vast speed. It is even rumoured that the price of gas will rise to almost 4$ per litre within a year.

Simple music saves the world

I myself play the trumpet and keyboards. Wanting to study classical piano but I am lacking the cash for it.

No to all your questions. I am perfectly healthy. How are you? :lol: :lol: I'm fine, thanks for asking :) Alright, end of offtopic. Question to Tolkki: What other bands for example has SPV signed?

Hey, did you get bullied a lot when you were a kid (or you are a kid at least from your mental age.)? Did your father molest you? Do you feel pressure inside your head? Do you hear voices coming from nowhere?
