Well, i hadn't been able to articulate it quite like that, but i totally agree with you.

I suppose this is a good time to bring up my theory that Jani Liimatainen is a robot. Because he is. I refuse to admit him into my metal pantheon because i believe he's not human. The guy is incredible. And yet...he doesn't do solos. Why? He can't. He's a robot, built for perfection, but yet without the human capability of improvisation.

Holy crap i'm a loser.

Hey, guess what?...

I'm a banana!!!

HMCW, what do you mean that Jani does not do solos?
Then who does the solos for them?

Well... I´m not sure I get your point for thinking this...
Jani is really great!

ClickWitch saved my day. Finally someone around here who doesn't blindly follow the powermetal religion and call anyone a god who can just play fast.

I'm sorry, let me clarify. What i meant to convey is that his solos aren't improvised solos. Nor are they exceptionally diverse. Basically they just follow the pattern of A B A' B' A'' B''. Or the occasional A A' A'' A'''.

But they're fucking FAST. Which is incredible. But not so incredible that it's beyond the scope of modern machinery.

HA-HA-HA i had forgotten what that video was like.....

It looks like Tony Kakko is trying to take a giant shit while he's singing.
Jani Liimatainen is pretty great on guitar, he wrote a pretty cool thingy for the first Young Guitar dvd he was on with Gus G. IIIII think he's really cute but I don't like his weird, greasy, gross colored hair. I liked it better as just red. I've heard he's a nice guy...... Lies! Lies all of it!!! If he wasn't engaged I would fuck him.

[HvyMtlClickWitch]

Wow, thanks. You always enrich my life with your comments about how you would shag any long-haired Finn within ten feet of you. I'm so glad i know you.

[fifthtea_sausage]

Seriously, keep this bullshit off these forums.
Whats wrong with you?!

[Lucid Faia]

The music video kicks ass, in my opinion. It just makes no sense.

Kind of like Holy Diver and Hunting High And Low.

[HvyMtlClickWitch]

What are you TALKING about? Holy Diver totally makes PERFECT sense!!! You see, he's got this sword, and then he's got this other sword, and then he does the Ronnie Shuffle and kills some things that turn into mice, and then Murray summons the inflatable red monks.
.........
................
.............................yeah.

(i'm glad i'm not the only person who thinks that W&R makes no sense. Regardless, it is still a visually appealing video, at least to me.)

Du Hast makes no sense either. WTF? The guy makes out with his girlfriend, leaves, gets drunk, and sets some guy on fire. WTF? WTF?
