Re: RR NEWS!
Aoa does have a few of my favorite tolkki songs with Future and Kyrie. I do hope he continues the celtic and church themes in the next material. He seems to have a "dream theater" period ;) Apparently he loves the band now... The songs May be inspired by them? o_____________________________________...

Re: The New ACCEPT-video
Sounded like generic heavy metal. Very good actually, considering it's from a band this old, and without Udo. I liked the song!

wtf? Tolkki = tölkki = can? I still think they played drums on the album Which Appeared Polar? though.Stratovarius Speaking of which, whether Tolkki heard a year ago, which appeared Polar? This is a first-Stratovarius album without cans.

but what matters the most is the music don't you think? You can have all the technique in the world but that doesn't always write the song. Yeah.

Vocals corrected??? Yes, but it's a normal thing. High notes are sustained. If we wanted complete perfection we'd just listen to the studio version. I think it would be really lame if they edited the vocals. Most of the fans have seen Stratovarius live anyway and have reasonable expectations... :pu...

Why, I have never gotten bored of any Strato songs, even though I saw Black Diamond, HHAL & stuff live three times last year and must've listened them from the albums as well. Quite frankly, I don't think I can get bored of Stratovarius.

I am the only one I know who's actually liked the song To the Metal. And no Need to Cry is about as good a Gamma Ray ballad as any. That is, VERY good!

Sounds awesomely awesome! I don't like how you can't hear the crowd though. Too bad the Destiny sample was just the intro. I just hope I don't have to buy another Polaris for the physical album. :/

Might as well check out Gn'F'nR's at least for the entertainment value, and in the hopes of some authentic interpretations of Appetite's / either UYI's stuff.

Then there are us that think it's not automatically great if it's power metal, and actually musicians might even get better results doing something else if they are bored with power metal. And it's great to have many styles of music from one artist. At the moment, though, it seems this Avantasia is ...
