Old Stratovarius songs

[fernandotcl]

But whatever, a tape effect just seems like cheating to me.

Hah. Good look finding bands which don't use synthetizers and samples in live performances.

I honestly think those "tape effects" enhance live performances. But whatever...

Regarding Stratovarius playing old songs, I'd love to hear some of those, but not many. Those were great songs, but nothing matches the quality of the "golden era".

[Ragehead91]

I never cared for Angra. But whatever, a tape effect just seems like cheating to me.

This is just very, very stupid. Do you know how many bands use effects from the tape? I'm sure some of your favourite fans use it too. There is nothing bad about it. I remember the Rage tour of 2006. They recorded the 27 minute "Suite Lingua Mortis" with an Orchestra. They wanted to play it live. But they didn't have the money to tour with the Orchestra. So the Orchestra came from "tape". And they released a DVD of that tour. It sounded great. So what you say is very, very stupid.

[stratodan1990]

Lol, how? It's all bells and brass... they'd have to replace both of those with guitars in order to play it live.

On this video the intro is played, by tape I swear...

[Ragehead91]

Yeah. There is nothing wrong with using the tape for Intros and such stuff. It isn't cheating. It is necessary sometimes. I think Stratovarius also does this with Hunting High and Low. The first part of the intro comes from the tape and then the band starts to play.

Hopefully that helps out

As far as the live topic goes I believe I said this before in the RR forum but I would like a mild sprinkling of all era's in the live set, basically a little of everything.

[Babylon]

Isn't Metallica doing the same with Battery?

Yea and Iron Maiden with Aces High. But back to Stratovarius, yes I would love to hear Break The Ice, I think it would sound awesome with TK.

No need to start throwing insults.

Anyway, I never said there was anything morally wrong with it, I just don't think it would be as fun using recordings at a live show. Improvise. do something unexpected. Make it an entirely different song, an entirely different experience than what we've heard before. Otherwise I don't see any point in going to a live show when you could get a better-quality version of the actual song just by listening to the album. Which is just my opinion, nothing more.

Actually, Jari Behm was not on Twilight Time, just the Twilight Time tour,
and Tuomo Lassila wasn't on Dreamspace.

Tuomo was on Dreamspace. Not all track were done by the seasson musician.

[Xelrog T. Apocalypse]

I feel so ashamed. -_-

Kotipelto replaced Tolkki on vocals that long ago and I never even noticed a change.

[ALX]

It would Be great if we could hear again these songs performed:
:ola:
False Messiah
Wings of tomorrow
Twilight Time
Chasing Shadows
Shattered
Tears of Eyes
We are the future
Out of The Shadows
Darkness
Madness Strikes at Midnight
Lead us into the Light
The Hands of Time
The Hills have Eyes

:funhi: rakkaus ja rauha,PERKELE!! (mexican stratofan) :funhi:

[Xelrog T. Apocalypse]

... lol, Tears of Eyes.

The information I've gathered is accurate as according to the albums. As I said I was too lazy to put all the mild details in that list.

Either way it was only for those who aren't familiar with the Stratovarius time line.

Ragehead is right as well, Tuomo was on Dreamspace there was only a few songs they had to get a session musician for as Tuomo had gotten an injury, and yes I do realize that Jari Behm did not tour with them for Twilight time however once again I was just being lazy.

nonono
Jari Behm DID tour for Twilight Time, he just didn't record.

[hiro23]

He never finished the tour, he did only a few dates before he was sacked
