Stratovarius @ Wacken Open Air 2005

Post by Thijs » Thu Aug 04, 2005 7:22 pm

I just got an SMS message from my sister (who's at WOA) that Strato will be a surprise act this year!
Don't know any more details.

EDIT:
It's official:

OH F*CK, I didn't want to go there because of the crappy bands and the ticket price, but for Strato I definitely would have. Why on earth did the Stratoguys keep telling they would not go ? Yeah I KNOW : to keep the surprise...

I've received a message as well from a friend of mine who is already on the wacken since this morning, and he also said to me by sms that Stratovarius will be the surprise act tomorrow evening...I had already heard before that they should play there..But well, a surprise is a surprise but not at all there. :D
So i'll see if he sends me a new message for telling something else...:)

didn't I tell you ?(see WOA2005 topic in other discussion section). So it is true, I wonder what will they play, and will they confirm full show next year?
So where does the power come from to see the race to its end?

Yeah. I was there. :D :D :D I almost came in my pants when I saw strato on the back of the 2005 tshirt. I did feel wholly unfulfilled by the mere 3 songs that they played though. A full set would be awesome. Still, at least it's kind of made up for me missing them at 2003.

Wacken is fucking ace! Stratovarus: you guys are the legends of power! 8)

German translation? The german is the basic language, it's not translated. :)

Well, check http://www.wacken.com/hu/ for the Hungarian side.

@ Warrior of hell: seems like YOUR English sucks *ggg*;
he for sure means that he´s a vip because he translated the WACKEN-page into Hungarian... :wink:
You don´t become a vip in Wacken just because you translate the Stratovarius-page. You must do more. Like I do :lol:

If you wanna be the German translator, let me know, and also PLEASE tell me WHAT sucks for I can work to your contentment :P

Well, I mixed up myself with him for example. :lol:

And again I say: there is no german translation on wacken.com, because Ingo (the webmaster) types in the german words, then translates to english, then we come, the other translators. We have to translate the site form german to our language.
