Stratovarius Community

im a big fan of stratovarius, since fourth dimension (a little time ago, i was 12) and this web page is really great, but what really piss me of is that nobody cares to update it, we always wait so long for some news, and sometimes we read the news from other sources (remember when koti was away) and when we read that "false news that travel fast" we have to wait for a statement of the band.

I can certainly agree (since the discography section still does not contain their new self-titled album) but I see no reason to be pissed off overall. Maybe they're busy with a tour and there is nothing significant to report.

One thing I know Stratovarius can and should post are maybe some album and/or song diaries.

I guess they do the best they can. Like viking said, they are probably very busy, and just do not have time. IMO, the main page is kept updated pretty good, but we could use more updated pics *hinthinthint* and nobody but Jens posts here.
Overall, though, the webpage is good&the forum is great, I think.

I think they're just lazy.

I find it's no different to most other band sites.

Probably, too, doing the usual musician things: :sex1: :headbang:
But, don't we all? We just don't "get away" with it like musicians do!

Seriously, they are most likely busy with their own projects that we all will love&buy!

No news ? If there aren't any news, what should they post in the news section then..

Haven´t you checked the Tour Info ? They are on tour from on the 2nd of June...

guys !!! i didnt wanted to be that negative, but as a matter of fact, tobias sammet, always post something in their page, from a hotel room in any country where edguy plays, the same whit other bands.
i think is important to keep the fans tuned, because in three months, o 4 months, whitout any news from an active band, and musicias as stratovarius......hmmm, nothing to say???
i just wanted to say something about it.

There isn't anything to say...
Just look the last news in strato main-page (about Lordi's victory). They really don't have any news about Stratovarius

No news about the compilation, either? I thought it would be out by now--at least in Europe!

At least yet, nothing about the compilation...

Maybe they don't have time and maybe they want give us a sorprise about the compilation...I guess

Yeah, I also think there's way to little happening on the main page.

It would be really nice if they would wright something about what the band is doing...

It would perhaps be even nicer if Lauri would write something about his feelings of being in the band.

Ask something that kind on his own guestbook, he may answer then and tell something, if he just has time for that.

I was just about to post something like "this forum blows" or something like that. Just tell me who I can point the blame at for these lack of updates.

You forgot the New Age version! And, the Bluegrass version! And the Yanni version!

Well, I like "Soul of a Vagabond" but I would not want to OD on it!
