I think we've had these in the past, and I may get a lot of shit by trolls but I don't care tbh.
Last week, I had the most horrible weekend in my life. I had a problem with a very dear person to me, and ended up in us taking some time away from one another. Through this whole fiasco, I've been listening to Will My Soul Ever Rest in Peace, Hunting High and Low, Against the Wind, Abandon, and more importantly Darkest Hours.
The band's music has been with me through this horrible weekend, empowering me, making me slightly stronger and remembering me that I can make it. Jens, if you read this, or any of the guys. Thank you... I'd be in much more pain right now if it wasn't for your music. And I'm doing much better now.
Thank you Stratovarius!

Re: Personal Thanks to Stratovarius
Yes, Stratovarius music does tend to be uplifting. I don't listen to my CDs as much as I used to and I need to get back into the habit of listening to Strato music every day like in the past.
@HA, I know what you mean. I used to be accused of being obsessed when I mentioned listening to Stratovarius music alot on this forum but like everything else all things must pass. Just ignore the people who would foolishly dare say anything smartass to you, HA. After all, they must like Strato alot themselves or they would not be here!
Oh, HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!! :funhi:

But, yes, gays can be very masculine. In fact, those are the very dangerous kind.

Re: Personal Thanks to Stratovarius
I think is safe to say that we all have been through hard times and went looking for shelter in music, strato have been really empowering in my low moments that thank god are left behind.
most amazing song to blast full volume when you are down?
Against the wind, it never fails.

I have to add Castaway to my list. Having someone who can save me (aside from myself), and I really belive in it. And the music itself is really powerful.

...*avoids the bizarre comments by Mr Cool Edit due to fear of losing my sanity*...
Anyways, I agree! Their music is pretty inspiring. I've pulled through a few tough times thanks to their music.

Yes, you have reason, the bulls do a lot shits on the fields. want to do a worLd ranking?
I can record you a video on a massive worldwide chat, and after you after you can pay double salary to you psychologist why you can falls on a extreme depression for the results.
Anyway..... I recommended you that you really feels that you write and have the testicles in live your life according that you write and your credence's....
I know a sick persons in Argentina, with the pathology, maniac depressive destructive, that always he is innocent of all, believe in gods and for he all are crazy and insane persons, and this same persons one time, in Christmas, and after to run me and trying to cut me with a chicken knife, shout me in the name of "GOD" that I end with his life....
this happen when one person cant eliminate his past and continua swimming in this shit, don't have peace.....
If really the metaphysical really your life style....
have the testicles in really use the metaphysical in your life.....
and if you think that have a lot money, and have 3 penis sucker that claps all the time all the stupid stuff that you do in your life, is synonymous of be a great human being and one excellent life..... you are lost....
I have bad news for you, when you die, maybe you wish that in you wood box put your cold body with out life, together to all your money and fans ....
is only a friendly advice, CAPISCE?

"The path of evolution is beat your internal enemy" you are your first enemy in your life.
This is the magical phase that all those years in your life nothing in the world tell you, and I bet that you lost a lot money paying "Magical guys" that poop un your name with a smile.
but of course... you will say "Can you only speak bullshits"

Thank you, Stratovarius for your amazing music! Your songs are my guiding light in the darkest moments from my life!

Re: Personal Thanks to Stratovarius
In that old good times, even when Tolkki's atmosphere in the band made their music quite depressive at times, I always liked Stratovarius. Since their music became so positive after Tolkki's quit, i love it even more nowadays! Stratovarius' music is like a good medicine to me!
