Add another !? to the topic name and with that added urgency, I"m sure all people who know the info but would otherwise refuse to disclose it will tell you what they know.

Yes, read the forums and search for topic.

And read the news.

BTW, they are planning to record the new album in the end of the year. That is all we know about it at the moment.

I wouldn't mind if they'll need much time for it, as long as it will sound greater than the last one then

Yeah... It would be nice with something a bit closer to Episode, Destiny or Visions... I mean on the last one there is like one key solo...

well ...my understanding was that their plans for the rest of this year is to finish the dvd and release it...then just a handful of shows in the summer... and then work on a new album and have it out late 2006 but other than that i dont think there was anything even alluded to

Actually 2 key solos...

But the guitar solos rock I think!

Is that bad thing? I think that they could do something like 3 key solos to the next album (I'm not a big fan of keyboard solos

) and rest could be some very heavy Tolkki's guitar solos.

It's a bit of a waste not to have keyboard solos. Jens is one of the top keyboardists in the world.

The next album should be a big Jens solo.

That could be possible or somewhat as we all know now that at least they have it on their every gig.

Yes, that would be cool too. I bet, Lauri will compose some songs or at least some cool parts.

Hmm, I bet still that Lauri isn´t so sure about that whether he´ll compose for Strato...

True he is the new (and younger) member of the band, but that didn't stop Sascha when he got into Helloween

Timo Tolkki said so in his forum recently, he also said that the DVD will be realeased in October at the latest, but I am too lazy to post the link....

IceBreaker meant, that Dave should also include links to show the sources.
What I found out by googling: this will be an mp3 CD... or rather, CDs.

Right. My post above was ironic.
