I have been at my first Stratovariusconsert and it was SO fantastic. Today I am very hoarse. Yes I screamed.

Tonight I will go to my second Stratovarius-consert and i will try to scream as best I can. Finland is so awesome. Very clean and nice. The food is good.

Sorry sorry you ask too much. I am not familiar with all songs and i like your kockenkorva too. I am hoarse and have headache today so...

[joteke]

Tavastia gig was awesome. No doubt that Tampere (Tammerfest today) will also be. Rolf has brought whole new level of energy to Strato. Very recommended to go and see yourself, if and when possible.

[mocobhc]

Eternity and Infernal Maze oh wow! Hope they keep these in the setlist until Andernach!

Yeah did you taste Salmiakki, GAGAGO? A guy persuaded me to have a shot last November when I was in Tavastia for the first time. Brought three bottles back with me to Germany, awesome stuff

[Texidor]

For being the first show....Rolf is definitely very impressive. And the guys were right he is not a Jorg clone. He has a separate style that brings the band to a different level. Still Stratovarius but Stratovarius 2012..... Cheers Rolf on a great gig!

[mocobhc]

Mwaaaah Rolf is a fucking beast behind the drums (solo starts 5:25)

My second fav song from the whole Stratovarius career. That song is just incredible and I like how Matias has made this solo.

Rolf is an amazing drummer, this is going to be another level for Stratovarius, seriously.

[Empathica1928]

Holy fucking shit, Eternity and Against the Wind? NICE.

[Shogakat]

For sure Pilve seems the right decision (good drum solo by the way!). He's a truly talented drummer.

From now on, they might increase one step more the staging in the way that they have to develop the concert with "screens" ore "leds" somewhere, as they did years before, not exaggerated, but something that contributes to make the show better.

I like the direction that is following the band, and I am very grateful to see old stuff that is not usually on the setlists: first "I Walk To My Own Song", "Coming Home", now "Eternity"... I am really grateful : )

PD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4U_cP-34tQ Eternity with better quality
Very powerful Darkest Hours! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbfK6VBryB8

[Beast_Pete]

Tomorrow (today) I'm seeing them in Pécs. It will be Rolf's third gig with the band. Let's see how he likes pálinka after the show is over.

I have been at my first Stratovariusconsert and it was SO fantastic. Today I am very hoarse. Yes I screamed.

Tonight I will go to my second Stratovarius-consert and i will try to scream as best I can. Finland is so awesome. Very clean and nice. The food is good.

I am so happy for you! Be warned, once you see Strato live once, it's an addiction! I have seen them live 4 times and could NEVER get bored with them. I wish I was at a gig right now!

Have fun at the upcoming gigs everyone, and keep these videos coming! You're awesome, Rolf!!!

[Betlodocus]

Rolf's drum solo is great! Wanna hear more form his drumming!

[brought2ubyletterC]

No offense Timo, but you're blocking my view of Lauri! Move a little to the left, please!

Excellent Infernal Maze! Timo has done an amazing job here!! And it's a great photographer too! He was taking photos to the audience during the solo part!

[mocobhc]

Nice of him
Ahhh I'm still so in love with the Infernal Maze solo part :luv1: And I like that they also did the intro live, way cooler than sampled.
