I love that site. So funny.

Kotipelto sounds awful during the chorus IN STUDIO. I don't want to imagine how bad he sounds in it live, especially considering he sounded awful during that entire video.

The song would be perfect if it were not for the chorus though.

That was fantastic. For a forum with such low standards (just joking guys, but come on most of you like WINTER FUCKING SKIES! :lol: ), you certainly are really picky with this. It's better than most of any of his stuff after 2003, though. Winter Skies is awesome. And this is mediocre. But I'm sure ...

Does no one hear the lyric in "The Game Never Ends" that sounds exactly like "Brothers and sisters who made out together"?

Were they brothers and sisters that made out together?

Meh, Malmsteen's best is still Rising Force. what about his alcatrazz days? Great stuff then but his best albums are "Eclipse" and "The seventh sign" Relenltess album is just a bad joke.. horrible... And it's no more a plague of Black diamond more than what Black diamond is... I am thinking of song...

...This spring. What the hell are these guys on? Some performance enhancer?

Hopefully it is as good as Cold Embrace of Fear and not as crappy as Frozen Tears of Angels.

Wait, which song does Yngwie "copy" Rhapsody's Ancient Fires of Har-Kuun?

It is depressing to hear how bad Kotipelto sounds in the Infernal Maze chorus. It's terrible. Other than that, the song is near perfection!

Ugh, I wish the media would stop comparing Symfonia's demos to the Visions-era Stratovarius. This will create a gigantic hype for fans, so when they listen to it and it sounds nothing like Visions to them, they will complain solely because it does not sound like Visions. I am going into this with a ...

4th Reich, Hold Onto Your Dream, and even though it is technically not a "Stratovarius" song, Soldier's Prayer is easily my favorite song that Timo has ever sung on.

I want to hear some of these demos, no matter how bad Timo's demos tend to be.

Glad to see Timo only having one song. All the more material of his to use in his next kick-ass solo album.

Also, any news on a music video (preferably one that won't blind us this time )?

Welcome to everyone's favorite gameshow, TIMO OR ROSEANNE! A show in which our contestants attempt to guess, from one picture, whether or not it is power metal guru Timo Tolkki, or comedian/actress Roseanne Barr! First picture! http://www.spartyandfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/roseanne1.jpg...

I am believing Tolkki on this one. Not sure about the whole "Identity Theft" thing, but honestly, if Santtu Claus is really thinking about pressing charges on Tolkki based on fake forum accounts, I think that is pretty sad.

I got Dream Theater's Black Clouds and Silver Linings for free, and it was so goddamn bad that I threw it in the garbage after giving it three listens. Terrible, terrible, FUCKING TERRIBLE CD that was absolutely worthless by the most overrated band in existence. I have never hated a CD as much as th...

I don't like Annette OR Tarja. Annette is too poppy, Tarja is too repetitive. Both sound great for their certain styles, but the problem is they do not really have much range outside of their same sound. Nightwish should have gotten someone like Bridget Fogle, an unknown who can do anything and has...

They had energy and power with their old stuff, and their old stuff was beyond awful. Now they have energy, power, AND creativity, which makes them a far better band.

Did Kotipelto say he was waiting for the dawn!?! AGAIN!?!

Gambling with the Devil has As Long As I Fall, one of the worst Helloween songs in existence, so it makes 7 Sinners automatically win.

I also think that early Sonata Arctica is overrated and especially compared to Strato. :( You're breaking a Sonata fans heart..Buuuut also i kind of agree with you, i mean ''new Sonata'' is SO much better, it's a fact. :roll: Overrated: Yeah, gonna go with Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt.1 & 2, to be h...

Yeah, I was just listening to some really, really bad music, and I saw the topic of "most underrated vocalist," and it got me thinking about really overrated/underrated metal albums. Anyways, my most overrated album ever is Keepers of the Seven Keys Part 1. So goddamn bad, with some of the most anno...

Alfred Romero and Marco Sandron. Oh, and Chitral Somapala.

Just got the new Helloween, Firewind and Star One. Helloween is fantastic, Firewind is typical Firewind (AKA, I don't remember any of it) but it still sounds good.

I am scared to hear Star One. I loved the first Star One, but I absolutely hated what I heard from the samples.

^ I can't believe people find it funny to joke about or find it acceptable to drop a Nuclear bomb on any human being. Let's drop a nuke on your head or family and see how funny that'd be. Fine by me. The less human beings on the planet, the better. We are overpopulated by about 6 billion people, so...

Listened to it. It's pretty good, but typical Firewind. I wish they would go back to their heavier days and mix it with the softer Apollo stuff, but oh well. It still sounds great.

Nothing memorable though.
