Tha Strato pictures since Intermission have worried me. They didn't seem happy, I thought, and then everything happened... I see the same thing here. They don't seem united like before, they don't seem satisfied together. And it still does worry me...

Well, I think it's only Aesthetics types of the pics, if you see the picture of Timo with the director, it's a very nice photo.
But, I agree with you, in the part of "worryness". I feel the same. Not becouse the pics. There was to many problems in the band in the last 2 or 3 years. We are very lucky to still have them

I can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiitttttttt!!!!!!!! I was gonna' buy tickets today, but I wanted to make sure the dates were confirmed because of the whole Sonata Arctica/Nightwish ordeal recently I know I'll see here soon, but is Los Angeles your last date on your Tour? We've been deprived of good Power Metal bands coming to the States so I promise that if L.A. is your last show on this upcoming tour, WE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU!

126 days until the release

Yeah, which will make us long even more for the album!

Those pictures from the shoot are quite amusing, especially Jari on that second picture, others seem to be posing and Jari seems to be watching the game.

they seem happy in the first pic....i believe your thoughts are wrong...

A metal band, that doesn't look happy on the pics? Yeah, that is quite rare.

Hey, they look happy enough to me



Rock On!

Kotipelto looks like he is buffing up. Getting some muscle.

At first, the first picture (the happy one) was not published... but it seems, that Jens so the comments about the sadness, so he decided to post the second one as well.

how good to see them happy and smileing again...
This news, and one more unexpected event, saved my day which I wrote off somewhere in the afternoon (it was worth of it)

And what about the DVD? I thought it's coming soon, but when? This year?

at least they are going to your country.. i dont think they will come to argentina

But they have never come to America!
And now our dreams will come true.
I will see them performing at Studio Seven in Seattle in October.
I still can't believe this is going to happen.
Wow, I really hope that nothing goes wrong and they indeed perform there.

I've seen them twice! They are awesome live!

Seen em live too... I almost cried when they came on stage.

The show kicked ass.

they came here 3 times but i was to young

At least i saw kotipelto show! he playd black diamond and S.O.S

guys, I'm soooooooo f***in curious and excited!!!! I hope "Stratovarius" will kick ass just as never before!!

And to the pessimistic ones here: Just wait and let them prove that they will make it. I'm very confident!! As was said before: they'll rise like a phoenix!

Did somebody here about planes for the tour?? Will it start just after the release?
