But nothing is constant but change. I seen the vids and you are very talented. Maybe you'll have a cool kit as well with Strato to supplement your extraordinary playing.

Reminds me of that young guy in the Star Trek movie.Aw, Jens--I'm so excited for all of you! Welcome to Stratovarius, Rolf!\m/JensJohansson wrote:Yes he is!
Really good guy and great player.
We had so many brilliant people to choose from so it got quite difficult in the end!
Whoa, shit--crotch-grab by Jens! Now THAT'S what I call an initiation!mocobhc wrote:Edit: Forgot to add some very nice new pics with the guys around, for example http://www.iltalehti.fi/popstars/201206 ... 5_ps.shtml Guess after that last pic and getting in close touch with our beloved Jens, Rolf knew what to expect and what he is about to do

Sorry but I think that's a bit naive to believe. Why do so many bands suddenly decide they want to sound more heavy exactly when their lead singers start struggling with high notes?Samovarius wrote:@Elz TK's voice isn't reason for lower tune.

I'm not judging Kotipelto, it's not a bad thing. Singers get old and hitting those high notes gets harder and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that and compensating by playing the older songs in lower key.
Do you mouth-breathers ever consider that in a lower-key song, though Kotipelto hits less high notes, he also hits more low notes?

Yes. I'd be embarrassed to call myself a mediocre amateur musician if I didn't take that into account. Now link me to a recent Youtube video of Stratovarius performing with their current tuning, where TK has troubles hitting the lower notes.AAAAAAAAAA wrote:Do you mouth-breathers ever consider that in a lower-key song, though Kotipelto hits less high notes, he also hits more low notes?
Then why would growl bands also have tuned down guitars??Mormegil wrote:Sorry but I think that's a bit naive to believe. Why do so many bands suddenly decide they want to sound more heavy exactly when their lead singers start struggling with high notes?

By the way, a big thumbs up for the drummer, Rofl! I mean, rolf...!!! He is everything I hoped for. A young, fresh talent (like Matias) who can elevate the band to the next level under the wise guidance and leadership of JJ and Mr. K.
Also, I have heard reports that Jens only grabbed his crotch to ensure he doesn't have Tolkki syndrome. Apparently, having small package has been statistically linked to mental instability in a band environment!
I thought we had a silent understanding...GAGAGO wrote:
