What do "Der Vollstrecker" mean?

And who came up with those names, they rock!!!

I'd kill to get something extremely unheard of like Kings Will Be Kings,

Kings will be Kings would've been great, yeah!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE FUCK???

And I was sure to be the only one to think this was one of the three best Helloween songs ever!!!!!!!

When you see that Helloween do not play songs such as:

A tale that wasnt right.
Forever and One.
In the middle of a heartbeat.
Light the Universe.

And so on...
You really notice that they had a really long career!

Darkest Hours!!!! Awesome chorus!

According to Wikipedia:

Jens, could you tell us who wrote those songs?

Coming Home!!!!!!!!!!

But I've said that a hundred times before, havent I?

Must buy that album, haha!!!

Me too!!! Cant get tired of it! They're classics, and so powerful!!!
Besides, some people never been to a Strato concert before, and they must have those songs!

I'm sad they took of Forever. Hey, it's a classic!!! One of the best ballads of all times! They should always play it! Cant get tired of it!

Legions, Paradise... I love Phoenix but I dont imagine it as an opener! Destiny was perfect for an opener! Of course the classics: BD, HHAL, SoL, Eagleheart... But still no Coming Home!!!! And guys...... Forever!!!! Why didnt they play it! It's a classic among the classics!!!! Edit: Oh, and no reuni...

Apparently, no Austrian fan in the forum!

3!! Didnt imagine they were so many!

'Darkest Hours’ is the first offering from the current line-up.

Is this guy a total jerk or what?

‘Black Diamond’ is a seven-minute epic opening with a guitar solo that is lapped up by the enthusiastic crowd.

Guitar?
Isnt it Jens' keyboard instead?

FOCK MAN!!!!!!!

I dunno what else to say! That sucks!!!

Best of supports for him, his family and friends!!!!

Still, happy the tour isn't cancelled, but you know... it's amazing he still push the band forwards, still is here intact and strong!!!!

Tears of Ice, Twilight Time, Hold on to your dream.

What is your favorite subway sandwich?

Damn, I never imagined that what has became a religion for me since the last 4/5 months or so is talked about here, on the Stratoforum! ^^

Uli wrote some really great music for Helloween Best song being "The Departed, Sun is Going Down"!!! I think it's pathetic to charge money from the fans for meeting the band. It should be clear to everyone that it's just not something you do. Makes me really pissed off. Amazing line!!! Wonderfully ...

Forever live is a need, it's vital and you cant get tired of it!!!!

But yeah, Keep the Flame would be great!!!!

It's a great time for a power metal fan; two other 'great old ones' Helloween and Blind Guardian just released truly top notch albums and based on Darkest Hours, Stratovarius will continue on the same level. Really an outstanding song. True!!! To complete the big four, we could add Gamma Ray, whose...

Yeah, curious to see, too, the credits of each songs!!!

The only band member I'm not really convinced by is André Matos (dont like the guy), would have been so great and awesome with Michael Kiske or Ralf Scheepers.

What a religious mix too. You have Uli Kusch, who was the only athiest in Helloween, Timo Tolkki (Who needs no religious summary), Andre Matos wearing a cross in the promo shot, Jari Kainluanen, who Tolkki mentions as having a sort of Buddhist philosophy in the interview, and Mikko Harkin, who spen...

Oooh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck!!! I... I just... just.... WOAAAW!!!!!

Well, still, it is sad that Jens and Lauri did just two songs...

Woaaaaaw, epic lineup!!!!!!!

Those new samples are great!!! Darkest Hours sounds wonderful!!!

* King Of Nothing (who else agree ?)

I do!

There are two songs in the whole universe that I cant die before having heard them live... Coming Home, by Strato. Elizabeth, by Kamelot. So please, if Jens ever read this! Just please consider adding it to the setlist! =D I remember last year in Toulouse when I asked the band in the afternoon for P...

Dunno about setlist (yeah I know, this isnt a dream setlist topic, but it's the only thing I came out with) but here are the non-classic songs I definitly need: Coming Home, I need it!!!!!!! Paradise Tears of Ice The Land of Ice and snow United Soul of a Vagabond Twilight Symphony Phoenix Will my so...

Happy fucking birthday Jens!!!!!

Well, we can be sure Helloween's gonna play Eagle fly free. They cannot avoid it.
As for Strato, Eagleheart, even if it's not a permanent song of their setlist, there are faire chances they play it!!!

No, but I want "COMING HOME" this tour!!!!!
