Stratovarius Community

Well, you can interpret them as you like, that's music power, the reception and feelings could differ a lot from one to another due to experience, life, education...it's not as if the lyrics were "I love you my black dog who died a saturday evening of the year 1993 at 4pm a 34 minutes!"...anyone can...

You really like Epica don't you! Smile

Epica, Ensiferum, Kamelot, Stratovarius, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Nightwish, Turisas, Tyr, Korpiklaani...but yes, Epica is my main source of quotes!

Ok, then let's fucking go!

That's it, I've send my production, although there is quite no chance for me to win, the important is to participate!

Well, even if the line up is not as good as last year, I would have come cause there is Epica or Strato, two of my favourite bands, but well, it's quite sold out since November or so!

caught-my-hand-in-a-woodchipper variety

I'm planning to get into bass, too, I really love that instrument and that will complete my singing I think, but I'm 19, afraid it's a bit too late!

"If he is your Moon, I will be your Earth, to which you can return, Safely or Injured!"

You have much to learn about this place. The laws of logic, common sense and indeed physics do not necessarily apply. Anything you know about sociology, throw it out.

Ok, that's noted!

Oh, yes, okay, thanks!

This is Oscar Wild, I love it!

Well I'm new but I dont think I got a similar name to someone else!

your avatar has a black hat couldn't you pick any other kind of hat? Mad Red hat, green hat, blue hat Mad Instead you have to make some sort of political statement that blacks are superior or something? MadMad what a bunch of bullshit Mad Okay, I get it, this is a kind of joke or challenge with fri...

its a race thing I know it Good for you but I thought there were no races, only humans... what the HELL are you talking about Mad Mad You still don't get it do you? "BUT I KNOW I WONT FORGET YOUR BEAUTY MY BLACK DIAMOND". Are you saying he's singing a song for a fucking jewel? what a bunch of bulls...

And is White Metal racist? It's good we don't have Yellow, Blue, Green or Purple Metal... You just made my night! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: And again, the diamond image, is symbolic of something far beyond your reach, something you will never catch, something "higher" than you, and black shows ...

It's called Black Diamond cause black is such a beautiful colour and a Black Diamond is such a beautiful image full of meanings and passion! Never seen it as a racist song before you showed up, never saw the tiniest controversial purpose on it, I think it's you who get easily offended, no offense, m...

Because many people seem not to like it, so I was curious to see what you would think of this song, which is for me one of their best!


Edit: shit, there was an option "Nice but too much of "Forever" in it" but it disapeared!

Well, not sure, but isnt a gig supposed to be the band's best-of? Apart for special gigs where less known song (less known to large audience, not to fans) are played, every concert is supposed to be a band's best-of, with a similar set lit everytime?

Obey your Master...master...Matias!

Personally, my favourite songs of Polaris are Higher we Go, Emancipation and especially WMF, one of all time best Strato songs for me, even if it's not the opinion of everybody!

Oh and in the same kind of question, I enjoy Stratofede's one to ask an other I've already ask to Coen Janssen (Epica), but he didnt anwer, but did you ever consider the possibility of using a keytar alongside your traditional keyboard to be able to move a little bit on stage and get closer to the p...

Well, singing in general, how long have you been all practiced, how did you learn, what kind of singing, what kind of bands, who writes the lyrics...?

All that stuff!

That's great, really!

Fucking shit, this poster is awesome!

Well, of course it makes you think to Forever and even Coming Home, but well, even if those two songs really get on me, none of them made me cry as WMF did...

Oh, by the way, gonna listen the three songs right now!

All of Strato albums and all of their songs, but have to say that one song is a little bit more special for me, it's When Mountains Fall, first song I ever cried on when I listened to it a few months ago! But apart from that, it's Strato for ever! One of the ten best band ever, alongside Epica, Ensi...

I personally dont play any instruments although I'm planning to get into bass guitar but I'm a singer. I mainly do harsh vocals, Petri Lindroos, Jari Maenpaa style but also louder ones like Marc Janse, Johan Hegg... And I also try clean vocals, not like Timo, Roy Khan, Hansi Kurch or Fabio Leone, no...

Well, for my part, I hesitate between a lot of excellent guitarists, among them Petri Lindroos, Jari Maenpaa, Timo of course, Alexi Laiho, Emmppu, Marc Jansen, Thomas Youngblood, Andre Olbrich, well, there's a lot!
