Re: Timo Kotipelto in Ayreon
I get where you're coming from, musically, but I don't think it's a good start lyrically. Especially 01011001. If that's the first album one listens to they'd most likely have no clue what it's about.Rage1979 wrote:Start with 01011001 or the Human Equation

Re: Timo Kotipelto in Ayreon
Starting with Into The Electric Castle is indeed the best. And then just follow the discography chronological. The music changed quite a bit but if you follow the discography this change will be smooth. If you want to dive straight into the new material I'd suggest The Theory of Everything. That alb...

Re: Eternal Tour Setlist
I was thinking of a way to keep the setlist fresh and also include classics. Came up with this. - Intro - My Eternal Dream - Twilight Symphony - Man In The Mirror - Distant Skies - Season of Change - Tomorrow or No Turning Back or Millenium or I'm Still Alive - Lost Without a Trace - Rise Above It -...

Timo Kotipelto in Ayreon
Dusted of my Ayreon albums again.
Been listening to them in chronological order.
TK's vocal performance in the song Out Of The White Hole from the Universal Migrator album is outstanding!

Ah. I was close though!stratopoland wrote:This recording comes from the bootleg which is called "Fuckin P.A." probably just because of this interlude in Will the Sun Rise.
Not from Visions Tour. This one is from Episode Tour from its Japanese leg and has been recorded in Tokyo, 10.12.1996.

While I think Eagleheart shouldn't be on the setlist anymore, I found out that he sings FOOOOOR instead of FOU! again!

Re: CAIN'S OFFERING TOUR!!!
I hope they'll do a live recording of these shows. Guess there isn't time for frequent CO shows. I was also thinking. If TK is in Japan in Febuary 2016, I guess Strato will tour there as well. It is called the Eternal WORLD Tour after all. Maybe CO is Strato's special guest on the Asian leg of the E...

Yes, for Strato it is. TK used it on the song Dreams and Reality from his Serenity album: "I don't need a virgin, I don't want a whore."SentineLEX wrote:Is the word "whore" really in the song though? That's also a first for Strato I believe.

Re: Eternal Reaction and Reviews
I believe there's a typo in the booklet there, because TK doesn't sing the word 'shit'. I think they had two options:
'You wanna drown me in a lake of shit' and 'You wanna drown me in a lake of filth'.
If you listen closely you'll hear that TK sings the last one.
'You wanna drown me in a lake of shit' and 'You wanna drown me in a lake of filth'.

In My Line Of Work live. I allready feared this was going to be a bit too much for TK live. Especially the last chorus.
Also at Matias starting his solo too early!

Songs like Speed of Light, Black Diamond, Hunting High and Low, etc. - you can't just get rid of those. And that's where I disagree. I think you can get rid of those.

Re: Eternal Tour Setlist
I'd really love to see an old & new show though. In 2014 they played all of Visions, now let's get a show where they play all of Eternal! I think it's too early for that. And people off course want to hear old songs as well. But for the fast majority of shows since 2009 they've been playing the sam...

Re: Eternal Reaction and Reviews
As of today I'm completely hooked on that choir-outro of Giants. Jens is a master in these kind of chord progressions.
The overall song has really grown on me. It's kind of like if Phoenix and Glory of The World had a baby.

Re: Eternal Reaction and Reviews
I like the chorus of Giants. The melody of the verses is a bit weak imo. For me it feels right in its place as a bonus track. The rest of the album is stronger.

Re: Eternal Reaction and Reviews
My two cents after a day of listening. My Eternal Dream - 10/10 This song embodies Stratovarius' typical power metal style in 2015. Unmistakably Stratovarius, but not a recycled formula. It's fresh, it's fast, it's uplifting. I like it! Shine In The Dark - 7/10 We all know this song by now. It's kin...
