lol what is your problem with jani?

RazielSR · Post by **RazielSR** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 5:19 pm

It's a good guitar player, but i don't like it for Jens, Lauri, Kotipelto and Jörg. It doesn't fit imo, I don't know, I don't like it enough that's all.

Matias is better, it's obvious.

it will be interesting to see what ideas matius brings to the table. in that blabbermouth thing it says the music will be more agressive and progressive than previus material and who knows what that means.

I'm really pleased with this, I'm really sure the music is going to kick a lot of ass.

This is making me excited about stratovarius's future

I agree Timo he's a good guitar player,but still i think it's a damn shame it has to end this way

I think it's a good choice too.

And it's great to see Strato beginning a new era.

Welcome on board, Matias!!!!

now ive been looking at the guitar hereos website. did anyone play power metal solos? i've gone over a bunch of people and none of them play to really catchy backing tracks. found a lot of great stuff from other genres but not any luck from my favorite music type compartment.

interesting judges comments on matias song

Judges Comments
A great sense of swing and fun in his track captured the judges attention: this Finnish virtuoso possesses world class chops, great timing and simply put in a totally professional performance! Like a freaked out Steve Morse with his groovy chromatic runs, Matthias figured in at least a couple of Judges Top 12, but just missed out. Next Time…

He's a very talented guitar player, Im glad he is the new band member, besides he's young and I bet he will bring a lot of fresh new energy to the band.

Looking forward to the new record, the name doesnt matter.

JANI WOULD have been great, I dont know anything of this guy but, if jens, timo and jorg support him i think every strato fan should do the same. at least give the dude a chance.

icecab21 · Post by **icecab21** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 8:13 pm

jani would be great playing and songwriting wise but he at least has had some personality problems that i hope he has worked on but that was why he left SA.

Totally agree. I have faith in the strato member's decisions, but who here remembers Winterheart's Guild? Jani + Jens = Wow!
