You damn tooting Tolkki kicks ass on that song! :headbang: He proves he stills has what it takes to be one terrific Heavy Metal singer!:luv1:
I hope TT sings more on his own&someday becomes a frontman again with another group of his own! Am I dreaming too much??? Anyway, TT still has a great singing voice&I hope he does more with it besides back-up.......of course, thats TTs business&his life. I just hope he realizes how much fans still love his singing&never gives it up! :rvd:

Dreamspace is the ultimate expression of TTs talents--I love that album! :) And his vocals on CVAT are spectacular---THATS what I'm talking about! :music:

I really like the song Kill the King.
TT's voice is just so much more suited for the role than TK's.
And well actually my favorite best part of that song is the instrumental solos, for some reason it sounds especially awesome to me.

Great song it is. It's good to listen to some Tolkki singings too, even though I prefer Koti more. But sometimes we need Tolkki too, don't we?

i must agree with BEG, the vocals on CVAT are absolutely brilliant...and Dreamspace isn`t far from it either...

some more songs with Tolkki on lead vocals would be interesting...maybe a duet with TK...mmm...i`m dreaming again...

who knows the fact that KTK is a Rainbow song, not a Strato-song? :)

In fact, Blackmore wrote it along with Dio and Powell.

I did, but TT does it better.
Megadeth's Kill the King is a totally different song.
No copyright on song titles, I don't believe. ???

Really ? Well, I think the original version is waaaaaaaay better than Strato-cover.

It was first released On Father Time single in 1996. It was also released on a Dio tribute-album in 1999. Dunno when it was recorded, though...

i think it was recorded in the Kotipelto-period, due to the sound of guitars and the speed of the synthesisers...which are most probably played by JJ...so..pretty recent in comparison to Dreamspace.

Darn! I thought it was recorded more recently--about 2000, maybe--right before the release of INTERMISSION!

Yeah, Kotipelto said somewhere that he didn't want to do the vocals because he has "too much respect towards Ronnie James Dio".

I think that TT won´t sing again.Why did he stopped with singing anyways?

BTW:The Strato version of this song is much better then original. 8)

Disagree. TT does it well and this is one of the best covers Strato did ever but the original Rainbow song is better for me . Maybe , because I was old enought to listen the original Rainbow song a long time ago ...

I don't really understand this discussion about "which one is better". They're different. Different players, different things, even some changes in the song itself. I like both in their own way.
