Stratovarius Community

What song would you choose for Stratovarius to cover. It can be any song, any genre. Just let your whishes fly.

Mmm... How about "Emerald Sword" from Rhapsody?? It would be very interesting, just imagine Stratovarius performing a 100% symphonic, epic metal song!
Also, I would like Strato to cover "Alien Nation", from Scorpions. The "Blackout" cover it's f*cking great!!!

I would like to hear a Fleetwood Mac cover simply because FM is my girlfriend's favorite band and I think Lindsey Buckingham is an awesome guitar player. I'm sure Timo T would sound awesome playing "I'm So Afraid", "Second Hand News" or "Go Insane".

The ghostbusters theme of course!

Neil Morrissey's Bob The Builder

Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin, I'm sure TK would sing it great. Or maybe some of the slower DT stuff, like The Spirit Carries On, Through Her Eyes or Wait For Sleep.

Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones. I'd love to hear Kotipelto singing with a "darker" voice again

The Priest cover of this song is awesome ! I have an Evangelion AMV with this, it rocks hard :headbang:

Yeah, Priest's version is very heavy, very good

"Tribute" by Tenacious D

You can go home now.

Shaz, you're too funny.

I move for "Impression That I Get" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. :cyclop:

They already made a cover of a Scorpions music, but i will prefer:
- Rime of the Ancient Mariner of Iron Maiden or
- Keeper of the Seven Keys of Helloween.


Well it's my opinion, i think a epic song should be a good challenge.

ohh, eagle fly free for my its to by a GOOD music with stratovarius, The time of the oath too!..

Good idea!

@ Tenacious D: That song is so hilarious

Bah. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles all the way. And they could dress up correspondingly, too, and Mr. Tolkki could be Shredder.

Yeah good idea, its to by a good music with strato, man, good idea!!!

No idea. Something from Sonata Arctica would be fun.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? , nah, Power Rangers could fit perfectly in the Strato style (Just picture Kotipelto dressed as the green ranger shouting out loud, GO GO POWER RANGERS, and the public shouting that chorus too ), TT can be Red ranger....

But now that i had think it twice, Kotipelto shouting COWABANGA!!! at the end of the song, is way better than that stupid "go go power rangers" thing, So Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wins by default....

BTW Jens must be used to his Green-colored- face, so i think that he would agree if they needed to color themselves as turtles.

the theme from zelda is good too, timo tolkki dessing gannodorf and kotipelto link auhuahauhahu, its a crazy idea, but good, jens play the ocarina with the keyboards playing the song of time and do a ocarina solo (with the keyboards) its good.

ahhhh good idea

Theme from FLISTONES, timo tolkki dressing fred and kotipelto brney, auhahau, or theme for jetsosn, or scooby - doo Jens dressing shaggy, e etc...


uauahua

You sir, have officially come up with the best idea ever, i would pay $100 for a song like that, Jens doing the song of time with his keyboard, or maybe "Forest minute", Tolkki doing the "Ballad of fire" with his electric guitar...

If they only knew what Zelda is.....

Well.. it would be exactly the same as if they play it by themselves
I have to admit that i really dont care for melodic metal bands covering melodic metal bands...

@Clickwitch:
Tolkki as Shredder would be incredibly charming

yes, zelda is a good idea, thanks

y think in this idea because i see your opostes ou love zelda, i think this

Thank you for pointing out (what i thought was) the obvious, but apparently it's not the obvious to everyone.

I also don't think Strato should cover... "new" bands. Like Sonata.

I mean, come on people. Sonata are a great band, but their style comes from the music style Stratovarius started

I'd love to see Stratovarius cover more "rocky" songs, like they did with Priest and Rainbow.

Stairway to Heaven(if Dolly Parton can do it--Strato can!)
Something by Elvis
Some Country Song, like The Closer You Get by Alabama

There are many possibilities. I'll have to Think of specific songs and edit.

Final Fantasy VII, boss song
