StratoLink: Here is the website&you might can still request a mailorder catalog there. BTW, they only charge $2.50 for like if you order 1-3 things.

At the end there are Black Diamond, Million Lightyears Away, SOS, Kiss of Judas, HHAL. I have the VIDEO. on the DVD there is an extra one.
There is a full length of INFINITY, which is magnificient! :D Also, Forever&4000 Rainy Nights. And soooooooooooo many short clips of performanceswhich are great&cool!
There are clips of the Tolkki-Era, though not many&not enough! :D There are clips of the guys just messing around havig fun.
You have to see it to fully appreciate it.
When I first got it(In February 2001, I think) I watched it every day for 2 weeks! Now, I just get it out maybe once a month. But, I still enjoy it as much as ever! :D
I think you will seriously enjoy it, StratoLink! :)

Quite a mess indeed, but I think it was still very funny and a nice time for bandmembers as well. And I burst out laughing when reading some of Jens' messages, as usual :D

Another idea just came in my crazy mind : why don't we organize a "forum members interview"??
Explanation : we could make a topic were everyone could post the questions that they want until a precise date, and then somebody like a moderator or somebody close to the band in this forum could choose a "best of" all the questions and then send it to all the members which should all answer this interview!
It has maybe already be done but it could be a great idea...
What do you think about it everybody??

What do you people expect? Now that the band is together again they're gonna come to you giving all the old answers to all your old questions? I mean those "best questions" have been asked so many times in a zillion interviews, does anyone even have an original question yet to be answered?

Now, the old way the best way, get to www.stratochat.tk and stay in the chatroom for a year or two and some day you'll see Jens or Tolkki popping up. :lol: They're both really funny in live chat but an organized chat session really wouldn't be "live" at all, so many people would gather that it would be a mess, total disaster, nobody could follow it if 100 people flood the chat at the same time. Anyway, as Nordic says the official time to chat is Sundays, 18-21 CET, maybe the band members might feel like getting there about that time if someone reminds them and they've got nothing better to do. Which I doubt, now if ever they have real work to do ;)

Not trying to br critical, but that Chat was an unorganized, jumbled up mess! :eyes:

when i said "best questions" i didn't mean those whiwh have been asked ten thousand times but the most interesting, original... I didn't mean questions like "When will the new album be avalaible?" or "What is the release date of the dvd" neither "Will strato tour **insert a country**?"

Alot of people are curious as to what equipment the guys use to get their unique&great sound.
Also Who were their greatest influences&why they chose Music-making as their career.
Their philosophy of life, and so on.
Thought provoking questions, in other words---not simple yes&no, or few word answers.

So don't you think it would be a good idea to try this kind of interview?

Yes, of course&it would need planning to do it right.
Also, the timing is important. It needs to be done at a reasonable time&day so that, given time differences, the whole world can access it if they desire to. For example, Finland time is 8 hours ahead of my time zone in USA. BUT, places like Japan&Australia are about 8 hours AHEAD of Finland time!
So, thats what I mean by careful planning! Probably an interview given about, say,12-4pm(about), Finland time would get the most access.

What i meant was not a "real time" interview but a sort of test like you have in school, with a list of questions that the stratoguys should answer, and the questions would be chosen by the forum members... But you're idea is also good...
But mine is perhaps easier to plan

Yes, I agree! At this point, I don't think the guys have the time to plan, or implement anything too elaborate.

Anybody knows somebody close enough to the band to ask them if they're allright with it...?
Then we could plan something...

I have an idea!!! How about we give the band a couple of months before we start bugging them with this kinda stuff. You know, let them get a few shows under their belts, let everything completely smooth over....
