Fade to Black

If they come to USA: Amazing grace&Star Spangled Banner

Any Queen Song esp. We are The Champions

Any Moody Blues, or Chicago Song

ZZ Topp songs, or Steppenwolf

Foreigner's "I Wanna Know What Love Is" Well, any foreigner song!

The Whole IM "Number of the beast" Album!

Troggs,"Love is All Around Us"
Some Country songs done in Metal Mode--Especially the Group, Alabama.

"Sweet Home Alabama", or "Freebird",by Lynrd Skynrd

"Ruby, Don't Take your love To Town"

Any of John Denver's Songs.

Any of Elton Johns or Barry Manilow*swoon* songs.

Well, I'm not picky,because Kotipelto could make any song sound GREAT!!!!!!

Also, any song off Dreamspace or Twilight Time or Fright Night

In acoustic gigs they used to play Here I Go Again, Whitesnake, and I really would love to have the chance to see Koti singing it. Surely it's great. Scorpion's Still Lovin' You would be nice too.

Dont cry from G&R.

I'll do it--before someone beats me to it!LOL!

Thanks!

There're some songs that would get really cool in a metal way. See "Take on Me" A-ha song, played by Vision Divine with Fabio Lione... I loved that song. I also like the songs that Blind Guardian recorded, like "Mr. Sandman" and "Surfin' USA".

Did you hear At Vance's cover to SOS (Abba), Cris?

Nops! I'd like to hear that! I love ABBA... I'll look for it. Thnk you!


I also like a Cindy Lauper song called "Change of Heart"... yeah, I know... that's tacky, but that song would get really nice with fast drums and a stronger voice. :headbang:

Any AC/DC or Iron Maiden song..
not that im a AC/DC or Iron Maiden fun but I think the songs would sound great if Kotipelto would sing

@Terska: I'm a big AC/DC fan, I listen to them since I'm 8 years old... I'd love to hear Koti singing my fave songs, as Money Talks.. that song would fit perfectly in his voice.

queen - show must go on
g&r - don't cry
europe - the final countdown
europe - rock the night
europe - carrie
deep purple - highway star(sing by TT)

and some frank sinatra's song..it could be very funny

"The Cross" by Earthcubed, Andrew Bordoni's great Progressive Band

yeah, Strato playing The Show Must Go On would have a strong meaning in those days... How about Koti's voice singing Stairway to Heaven, that would be amazing

Yes! Stairway to Heaven would be great by Strato!

Queen * The prophets song, White Queen, Teo Torriate, or Who wants to live forever etc...

Iron Maiden * Alexander the Great, Sea of Madness, or Revelations

Asia * Never In A Million Years, Only time will tell, Heat of the moment, Don't cry etc...

Journey * Don't stop believin', Wheel in the sky, Open Arms, Separate ways ( worlds apart), etc......

some Black or Death Metal would be funny

what about how many tears from helloween?

Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. A masterpiece if I ever heard one. That would be perfectly outstanding Or why not Shy by Sonata Arctica, it would sound great with drums and some more energic guitars and keys.

Helloween - Eagle Fly Free

It's perfect for Stratovarius!

I saw this Queen tribute on television a while ago, when I still HAD a television. Liza Minelli totally ruined that song for me. *shudders*

Le Tout de Monde, MegaDeth's great ballad...and, Promises.

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the boards and so I can't start new topics.

Anyway, I want to let everyone know that I own the following account:

stratovarius@gmail.com

And... Because I already have my own Gmail account, I'm willing to sell it. If you don't know what Gmail is, it is the new Google approach to email, which gives you ONE GIGABYTE of storage. Go to gmail.google.com for more about Gmail. It is currently available by invitation only, because it is in Beta stage. So having a Gmail account is not that easy, and now all of you have the opportunity to own one, with the name of your favorite band in it.

If you're interested, send an email to that same address (stratovarius@gmail.com). I accept Paypal only. Believe me, the price is cheap. I might even accept $10 bucks, or $5 bucks! And you're getting a VERY hard to get email service, with 1GB of storage so you never have to delete any single email again. Besides, the interface is great and there is no SPAM. So, if anyone is interested, mail away!

Thanks a lot, and I look forward to continue posting in this community!

Haha, I tried to joke about doing death metal in an interview with Kotipelto, but I don't think he realized I was kidding, and he was like "No, my voice can't do that..." Ahh jeez.

I'd like to hear them cover something totally random. I can't think of what yet. Some 50s songs or something.

Yes, Pink Floyd. Take it Back would be amazing too.

I want out and keeper...tt tolki is a bit influenced by helloween destiny has many similar parts with the keeper of the seven keys song!

I think Stratovarius should record more cover songs, for example: Iron Maiden songs (Aces high, Afraid To Shoot Strangers, Wasted Years, Phantom Of The Opera...), one or two Helloween songs (A Tale That Wasn't Right or March Of Time), some Scorpions songs other than Blackout (Still Loving You, Another Piece Of Meat, Is There Anybody There?, Alien Nation, or Coming Home)...

Plus, they should record in studio those covers which have been played in gigs but have never been recorded in studio, I mean: Here I Go Again (by WhiteSnake) and Temple Of The King (by Rainbow, specially this one).
