Re: What do you expect for the next album?
I agree with Raziel, this little prog direction is good. And also my favs are Fourth Dim and Episode (but I would throw out Uncertainty). I know, that Matias is a great Romeo and Petrucci fan, so we can surely count on him. Episode II is a good idea. There are very good proportions between faster an...

Re: Stratovarius to play Wacken, start work on new album in 2010
Maybe I'm weird, but I find DoG much more interesting that first 4 CD (except Silence) of Sonata. I can't stand their booorking fast tempo and horribly keybords and all the same-like melodies and the same structure of songs from i.e Winterheart. And now... it's quite cool. But still it's not as good...

Re: Would you like Stratovarius to COVER these songs live?
they should play some song they havent done much live lately. like United, distant skies, dreamspace, elements, tommorow, season of change, eternity, coming home, anthem of the world, no turning back etc. and maybe more some Tolkki's vocal stuff like Tears of ice, Wings of Tommorow(id love to hear ...

Re: Does Helloween have the worst fanbase, ever?
I'm not a Kiske fanboy, but I couldn't understand listening to eagle fly free or i want out with pleasure by people who has a minimum of sense of pitch and rhythm. Andi in Kiske/Kai songs is simply out of pitch, cause the range of vocals is too wide for him. Just like Anette can't really sing good s...

Re: Does Helloween have the worst fanbase, ever?
Ragehead: Andi was a great replacement for Kiske, they'vr done after weak Chameleon my favorite Helloween albums (wth Grapow and Kusch). A can't imagine Kiske singing ie Power. They both are great but very different so I prefer Andi singing his material (which is really great) to Eagle which I heard...

Re: Does Helloween have the worst fanbase, ever?
I can't understand your opinion. Deris sang (and composed) a lot of great songs from MotR till now. Helloween can give gigs with set from those albums (especially MotR, TotO, Better and Dark Ride). From ballads to power and more dark material. And Deris all sings great (he has a very expressive voic...

Re: new RR news and its great
In Prague, day before (12.10) SA is supported by Winterborn and Delain, so I think they would be also on the rest of the european tour 2009.
I hope that next year RR finally go on a tour

Month ago I bought a ticket for Sonata Arctica gig in Zlin (Cz) on 13.11. Yesterday they've sold out all tickets. I am very happy to see them, but.. there are no information about their supports. Because of rumours that it would be RR I thought that it's great, but now I don't know. There is month l...

Re: Stratovarius live in Warsaw - 31.08.2009
Was that ironic cause you dont like the song that much (as me!) or just a keyboard mistake? I like it, but it is a weakest point of a gig. They could change it (i.e for Forever is Today) but the author of "Piss of Judas" is Tobias in the "Theater of Salvation" booklet in his thanks to Strato. Just ...

Re: Stratovarius live in Warsaw - 31.08.2009
Turbo (Pol), and Sabaton (Swe), but Sabaton in Poland is more popular than Strato, so they played after Strato. I don't understand it, but ok.
All tickets were sold, so it's a good sign that they will return.

Re: Stratovarius live in Warsaw - 31.08.2009
Yes, Destiny is an awesome beginning... In Tajpej and Beijing they will have more time so I think they will play Destiny AND Visions AND Twilight Symphony. Lauri said that they don't like to play with tape, so it would be hard to hear Elements (which could replace Eagleheart IMO :)) I don't have vid...

Stratovarius live in Warsaw - 31.08.2009
I've just been there. Gig was brilliant, they were playing great, Timo done his best. Everything was excellent :):):) I've noticed a progress in Deep Unknown performance :) The gig was a bit short, because Stratos wasn't the last band, but they put (in order) - Destiny (great, great, great!!) - HHAL...

Re: Who here listens to classical music?
SURE! A always thought that Strato was very inspired by classical music (just like one said Will the Sun Rise). My favorites are piano and violin concertos from XIX century (Brahms, Schumann, Mendelsohn) and early XX (Prokofiew, Shostakovich, Mussorgski). But also I listen to Haydn, Mozart and Beeth...

Re: Sammet: The next Avantasia "will surely piss people off
I don't like Tinnitus Sanctus (TS like Tobias Sammet :P) either but Rocket Ride is great, it is not garbage. Maybe it isn't so metal as earlier, but it is very melodic and IMO is quite similar to Hellfire Club. Lavatory style :) Tinnitus for me is a Scarecrow II but without Cooper, Jorn and Kiske :/...

Re: New Minuetum cd mixed and mastered by Timo Tolkki
It is a bit off-topic but generally it is not a good idea when the same person mix and master one CD, cause after mix you are getting used to how the CD sounds and during mastering you can't look on the cd by fresh ear and you probably won't hear some mistakes made in mix. But maybe it was cheaper r...

Eagleheart 6. Phoenix 7. Black Diamond 8. Will The Sun Rise? 9. Visions 10. Speed of Light 11. Kiss of Judas...

It's a freshness. Just like Polaris (especially Deep Unknown), Avantasia part I and II, Masterplan, Helloween in Grapow era, Gamma in Powerplant and NWO. From the quite new CD's: Nostradamus, Tinnitus is fresh (but not in my taste). Of course whole Elvenking :) I've put some examples. When I don't h...

Re: Cain's offering: Some samples are available
It's funny, because yesterday was the release of Elias Viljanen CD, the new Sonata gitarist, with Kakko, Hietala, Jari , Klingenberg and Mikko Siren from Apo.
I think it's a weird project, but I have to listen.

Re: Cain's offering: Some samples are available
I must admit, that it doesn't touch me at all. For me it is Sonata with TK voice, even TK for me remind a bit Tony (maybe cause i'm sick). And I simply don't like Sonata, it's too boring. These songs are for me without music ideas, maybe to put in a background. But fine, let's wait for whole CD. Mor...
