I like lots of type of stuff. Doesn’t have to be like a US riff oriented power metal sound. This is something like I’d enjoy for symphonic type: https://youtu.be/2GckrYjWsH4 I mean, I went through a phase where I even listened to Nightwish a lot. Mainly with Annette since I cannot stand the opera ty...

Give it another listen. I think the production is pristine, though its not a very heavy album. It was produced by Charlie Bauerfeind and Sascha Paeth: two really famous producers you probably already heard of. Temple of Shadows is a lot more conventional progressive/power metal album and I can resp...

Bruno:

I'll have to listen to Angra's Holy Land, then. I never got into Angra. At least the songs I've listened to were kind of generic. I'd like to listen to Angra on a beach in Brazil surrounded by oiled up AI sex bots while chugging a bottle of the cheapest beer. Talking serious...I was never a huge fa...

Speaking of Angra, I went to go take a look at their Metal Archives page and was stunned to see so many 90+ rated albums! :shock: I've never listened to them before, but based on those reviews, I think I'm going to change that now. One of the first albums I heard from them in the early 2000s. Impul...

His screen shots are always warm welcomed, of course, since he basically blocked every account I have. And some laughs are good during this "dark" times, at least for me but yeah, the last months didn't give us the thrill we need 'cause he repeated his dumb theories and his spiritual bullshit and/o...

Nice to read all your thoughts about "minor songs" in Stratovarius discography. It's been a while since the last thread with "serious" talking and this is odd since this thread originally started as pure shitposting (and sometimes is): nice dichotomy :lol: Episode is my favorite too. I was going to...

Just bought some Fortin amps. Going to use all these and redo the amps.

edit:
TRying out the MATIAS PRESETS!!!

Sorry dudes and dudettes...I'm going to post another shitty song. :lol: I did not like the guitar tone on the youtube version, tried improving it on the audio stream version, eh. Probably still not any good. :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj691rEoZ60 https://hearthis.at/notez/beeer/ I use thi...

Wasn't it written for the Greek basketball team? Makes you wonder about the state of basketball in Greece

Maybe. I was trying to make a cheesy joke.

Don’t know if you guys remember the single of wings of tomorrow:



Maybe it’s supposed to be a special Olympics song with them playing b-ball.

Dude, I love Tomorrow. I dunno what you’re talking about.
One of my all time favorites.

Since zenith mentioned this song:

Side note: I know a lot of people tend to record drums in a completely dry room to get rid of reflections or unwanted frequencies but this kills the "character" and, to some extent, dynamics and transients: a dead room is good only if it's a small square room, if it's a room with a strange shape or...

That's really well made! I'd love to have this in my eventual wedding. I guess it can work for a funeral as well. Has he done any more Strato covers? In my case a funeral will probably be first. :lol: I want Tolkki to perform at my funeral, knock over the urn of ashes. If I’m in a casket, just knoc...

I noticed that, in general, it is a constant in the newer productions (Blind Guardian's Beyond the Red Mirror and Luca Turilli's stuff are so dull I find them annoying) since they give a lot of prominence to orchestrations by layering the sound and this weights down everything. Furthermore, mixing ...

The Destiny remaster I can’t really tell the difference. Except I didn’t listen to them side by side. Old and new. The old albums I never liked. Episode I start at and skip the self titled one. :lol: I listened to the albums so much over the years it’s hard for me to even listen again. Just the same...

That's pretty catchy, robocoom. Intro was probably longer than it needed to be, but I like the singer.

Do you recommend any other songs from them?

A10, do you like female fronted bands?

:lol: I think he’d rather write songs for Justin Bieber tbh. :lol: That would be awesome if they remastered some old ones. I honestly don’t hate the production. I don’t usually go back too far in their discography, though. All I want is an audio commentary from Tolkki on the old albums as a bonus di...

I fear I won't be much of help there, since you most probably won't find the beer I like in the US at all. I'd recommend Stuttgarter Hofbräu Pils or Rothaus Weizen-Zäpfle (latter is a wheat beer)... or some local artisan brews you definitely won't find overseas. And I can only guess, but the stuff ...

More like fields of coom, am I right?? *knee slapper*

Yeah I agree, their stuff is pretty good, I bought the albums and a few songs are in my regular playlist. Looking forward to the new one. Are you the one with the Polarismobile? :wink: :lol: no, but I know the guy who owns it. As far as I know it's a cubical Ex-Polarismobile since a few years, prob...

Btw, does anybody remember NeonVomit and his band Winter’s Verge? They have a new album coming out. I’m not going to post it so it doesn’t make the A’s bonerman mad. :wink: Yeah I agree, their stuff is pretty good, I bought the albums and a few songs are in my regular playlist.

For the old ones:

A10 doesn’t want videos.
This is an exception if you like feel good power metal:

Post some samples. Do you know anybody else who is more involved than us about it all?!?

Tolkki cracks me up with this stuff. :rotflmao1: :rotflmao2: :rotflmao1: :rotflmao2: Key to the universe is Mexican spiritual energy. :pray: Why is it that, when Tolkki posts, he always uses sporadic capitalization? ??? Probably since he types it on a phone, if you have the keyboard settings all we...
