[blind_earth_iced_gua]

why do all the good European metal bands skip Detroit when they tour the U.S.?

[Stratoviking]

I am suprised no gig in Sweden why???
probably it will be at least one i hope

[dfigueroa]

I understand how you feel but... could you stop repeating the same thing over and over again please ?

Ok... I´ll try!!! I´m so sorry...

[Aneete]

You are soo lucky As I waited, they missed Czech republic Hope, that I will have some money for german or Austria gig

[Twilight Legionnaire]

I'm extremely fucking disappointed. Stratovarius always, and I mean always have sold out shows here.

[TimoTolkki]

I'm extremely fucking disappointed. Stratovarius always, and I mean always have sold out shows here.

Perhaps I should explain a little.
Last time we played in a place that was sold out and was much too packed.
I saw the situation that we should not play in places where 25% of the people don´t either hear or see us. Unfortunately although the energy in the place was unbelievable, the conditions were not good.
And there are not venues where we can play, because we are not that big in Portugal. Next venue is around 5000 and that is much too big for us.
We are sorry, but this time it goes like this. If you decide to come to Madrid, please PM me and I put you and your friend to guest list.

[brought2ubyletterC]

I would never ask to be put on your guest list, but can I at least buy you guys a drink if I see you?

Well, drinks for everyone for me and Tolkki, since you don't drink anymore, right? (And soda is my drink of choice. )

[Burning Reflection]

I've been listening to you guys for years and I'm finally going to get to see you guys!!!! Strato. is metal from the heart and I have had your music in my heart on many occasions over many years. Stratovarius means something special to me and Strato. can express what I truly feel into music and words with skill, confidence and amazing composition. I'm getting my tickets tommorrow for Sanata Ana and Los Angeles now that the dates are offically confirmed. I noticed that the last date in the U.S. was at the Key Club. The place is decent, but in comparison to the places I've seen you play in the Infinite Visions DVD, those are much much bigger. At those 18 and under shows though these places like the Key Club shut down before 10:00 pm. I just hope that those Hollyweird dicks don't screw with your setlist or time on stage especially since it's the last North American date that you guys play. The real Stratovarius fans will be there and we all have been yearning to see you guys! The L.A. crowd will not disappoint you! Best of luck on your huge world tour!

[Ikola]

hmmm...right, I'm hoping for 30th October or 2nd of november for some nice swedish dates, maybe stockholm and malmö?

It would be really nice to hear the two greatest metalbands from finland and sweden go on stage around here. I suppose that hammerfall and stratovarius will be playing in sweden together

[MaFiaBoY]

I would never ask to be put on your guest list, but can I at least buy you guys a drink if I see you?

Same here. I hope I can see you somewhere, I've got load of stuff to make you guys sign

[Twilightsymphony]

Surprisingly big arena in cologne this year, i may be there

[stratovana]

Yeh Strato here we come!! I will go to 013 in The Netherlands in november.

[fifthtea_sausage]

STRATOVARIUS - I will see you in Seattle!
Thank you for not overlooking this west coast city.

@C: Tolkki quit drinking. Of course you cannot buy him a drink.

Hey Timo, I think you got me wrong I'm not blaming you guys, I'm blaming the local promoters and the people who schedule gigs around here.

Yeah, you're right about the venues. Hardclub (the place where you played at when you came here) is a really good place, but Stratovarius is a bit too big to go there.. and a bit too small over here to play at a larger venue. Hell, even Judas Priest didn't get much more than 5000 thousand people here..

There used to be a nice venue near where I live.. it could get around 3000 people if I recall correctly, Manowar and Helloween, among several others, played there.. It's been inactive for a long while though, and that's sad.

Thanks a lot for the offer, from the depth of my heart I will definately do my best to go to Madrid, and I really appreciate your concern in explaining the situation You guys are really unique..

[Electric Eye]

What about middle Europe? I didn't count on Poland, because here no one, except few fans, are interested to invite such bands like Stratovarius (I mean people or agencies who organize gigs don't know what Stratovarius is). But I though that Czech Republic or Slovakia were for sure...

[brought2ubyletterC]

C: Tolkki quit drinking. Of course you cannot buy him a drink.

That's why I offered him a soda instead!

[Paulo]

Damn that sucks. Only one UK date and it's in frickin' London! Still, I guess it's only to be expected on such a big world tour.
