Stratovarius Community

I just check wikipedia in the Stratovarius section and Appears that the New Album is Call KING OF NOTHING i don't know if this true because i don't trust in wikipedia.

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratovarius

I added that, It's the tentative/working title for the album

Jens already commented on this in a previous thread, he's said it's a possible title but not a for sure one.

As a matter of fact, it's now 100% sure the album is not going to be called "King of Nothing". The song with the same name will still be there though.

More news soon, also exciting news regarding more live dates!

Hello Jens!

Wish you and to the band all the very best for this year 2009 !!! I wish you all the happiness and success with your new album and on tour !!

Can't wait to hear this new album ! :headbang: What will be the name of this new album, then, if it's not "King Of Nothing" ?

I hope Spain is one of those new dates. There is nothing oficially confirmed yet regarding Spanish shows and we are waiting for it anxiously.You cannot miss this country!

also let us know if there are any possible U.S. dates, I'd love to come see you in vegas if that's workable.

Can't wait to hear what the new title of the album is going to be.

I liked "King of Nothing" as a name but i'm sure strato will come up with a better one..my only hope is that it isn't something cheesy which emphasizes the rebirth of the band

I'm so glad, King of Nothing is a pretty bad name

It's not in any way connected with rebirth!

Nice!!!

There's too much kickass potential. I just can't wait.

(eagerly awaiting the release of a demo)

Excellent news!!

btw the estimated date for the release is when?

And a videoclip along with the single would be nice, very very nice.

Maybe it'll be called "A kick in the..."

Right! Because Stratovarius was not and won't be dead ever. Because Stratovarius lives in the heart of each member of the band (past and present) and of us, fans.

Guess which band-RR, old strato, new Strato-I would have liked to work with. If I had the chance of course... Like is by the way a word to small. LOVE is better

It was actually never gone.
I agree with you. I didn't like King of Nothing for the title. Some people would interpret it as a reference to TT and I wouldn't like it at all. I mean, I wouldn't like their comeback be peppered with polemic because of it.

Yes, Stratovarius wasn't dead. Stratovarius will never die. It's like energy, it can't be destroyed, just transformed.

Jens, Kotipelto, Jörg, Lauri and Matias will still playing at the age of 80-90 years old (more or less), I can see it

but maybe...if the rhythm now is something like ...papapapapapapa...then it will be pa...............pa...........pa............pa...........

The others are going to have to live a long, long time to still be playing when Matias is 90

Maybe by then we'll all be living to be 200?

It's possible, but what are the chances of any of them still being able to play at 200?


(I just got a mental image of a 200 year old Lauri...scary stuff )

The pic of a 200 years old Lauri Porra :

That's not Lauri!


He's no' waving a wee shiny thing or grinning like a loon


We need a skeletal version of the Lauri emoticon...

As long as the name of the album represents what is in the album's music, then I do not mind what the final name is. I mean, I have so many albums where the title of the album really has nothing to do with what is actually in the music itself. It's just a cheap marketing technique (that works).

Like, if the new album's central theme is about beating the crap out of a homeless man, then I would want the name of the album to be about that. But if it is about beating the crap out of a homeless man, and the name of the album is "My Dog Puked This Morning", then I will be detracted a little bit. If any of this makes sense.

Are you guys planning on a full fledged tour or just individual songs? You know, just in case I get my hopes up :p

Rumor has it, the song "King of Nothing" is about the declining profitability of the American fast food industry :bigok:

Oh? I thought it was an Obama victory song.
