Re: Better Guitarist
I think that Matias is technically better than Timo. I still mostly like Timo's solos better Especially the very emotional ones!

Re: that ther hippity-hop gangsta rap music
I do not think that there is nothing wrong with rap or listening to it. I like it. I've gotten very familiar with it since my brother makes beats for his friend and the have a group of their own. They make great music! Making good beats is by the way definitely as hard as making good metal or anythi...

Re: please help me whit yamaha dx7
I agree that DX7 is a great controller. Well mainly because of the preset buttons and good keybed. But otherwise it's naturally grown a bit old :) I think the best thing about it is how sturdy it is. I am by the way sure that your problem has nothing to do with the synth. You don't have to reconfigu...

Re: Stratovarius - Dublin 20/05/09 - End of UK tour
I was hoping Matias becomes a little more expressive and more emotional in his playing as he gets more experience. Right now, he just feels like a robot. I also can't stand his solos for many of the older songs, which feel out of place. Don't get me wrong, he's an amazing guitarist, but I am not so...

Re: Who is your favorite songwriter NOW in Stratovarius?
Definitely Jens. Lauri's songs were okey but as most lacked the emotion. Jens' songs King of nothing and Winter skies were really the only songs that I could feel. Blind wasn't too much for my taste however. Somehow precious was pretty nice song too from Timo and Matias. I would've liked it produced...

Sounds surprisingly similar to older stratovarius :) I am looking forward to hearing Lauri's stuff! Higher we go is just a typical Kotipelto powermetal song. Nice melody but sounds too much like his solo material. Ragehead seems to have an obsession in comparing this album with AOA. Hello, unless yo...

Re: Songs of stratovarius with band mates cooperation...
I think a band can definitely have just one main songwriter. It is as band as any other band. I think it is foolish to say it wouldn't be :) Anyone who is a bit into making music knows what I'm saying. There is a thing called arranging too. A main songwriter makes the actual song and players can add...

The song @ about 1 minute of the song is so written by Jens or at least has quite a lot of influence by him. And the part at 2:20 reminded me of some of Jens' solo material. AMAZING stuff!

Re: Kill the King cover
I think Tolkki has a way more suitable voice for this song. His voice actually fits perfectly to this song. I think Kotipelto's voice is a bit too soft for this for example
Actually Kotipelto's voice would fit this but somehow I do enjoy the song most as it's been done.
