Tha Strato pictures since Intermission have worried me. They didn't seem happy, I thought, and then everything happened... I see the same thing here. They don't seem united like before, they don't seem satisfied together. And it still does worry me...

Well, I think it's only Aesthetics types of the pics, if you see the picture of Timo with the director, it's a very nice photo.
But, I agree with you, in the part of "worryness". I feel the same. Not becouse the pics. There was to many problems in the band in the last 2 or 3 years. We are very lucky to still have them
Don't give in to the hopelesness
Keep the innocence in your heart
And the end before your start
Be the warrior of the light
Don't give up without a fight

I can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiitttttttt!!!!!!!! I was gonna' buy tickets today, but I wanted to make sure the dates were confirmed because of the whole Sonata Arctica/Nightwish ordeal recently :roll: I know I'll see here soon, but is Los Angeles your last date on your Tour? We've been deprived of good Power Metal bands coming to the States so I promise that if L.A. is your last show on this upcoming tour, WE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU!

Those pictures from the shoot are quite amusing, especially Jari on that second picture, others seem to be posing and Jari seems to be watching the game.

At first, the first picture (the happy one) was not published... but it seems, that Jens so the comments about the sadness, so he decided to post the second one as well.

how good to see them happy and smileing again...
This news, and one more unexpected event, saved my day which I wrote off somewhere in the afternoon (it was worth of it)
So where does the power come from to see the race to its end?

But they have never come to America!
And now our dreams will come true.
I will see them performing at Studio Seven in Seattle in October.
I still can't believe this is going to happen.
Wow, I really hope that nothing goes wrong and they indeed perform there.

guys, I'm soooooooo f***in curious and excited!!!! I hope "Stratovarius" will kick ass just as never before!! :D

And to the pessimistic ones here: Just wait and let them prove that they will make it. I'm very confident!! As was said before: they'll rise like a phoenix!

Did somebody here about planes for the tour?? Will it start just after the release?
