Stratovarius Community

IMO, a good idea----even, if I did think of it!
Suggestions:

1.Greensleeves
2.What Child Is This?
3.The First Noel
4.Little Drummer Boy
5.Hark, the Hearld Angels Sing!
6.Away in a Manger
7.Silent Night, Holy Night
8.Jingle Bells
9.I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
10.Santa Clause is Coming to Town(Hey, it worked for Michael Jackson!)

11.On the First Day Of X-Mas
12.'Twas the Night Before X-Mas(All the Guys Speak parts)
13.I'm Dreaming of a White X-Mas(Bing--Move Over!)


What do you people think about this idea?
I think it should be discussed!
:headbang:

I'd make the question "What About STRATOVARIUS Making ANY NEW Album?"

Seriously, I think it could be an interesting idea. Savatage guys made it on the TransSiberian Orchestra project, and I really love their albums!

What about: Mom got run ove by an reindeer?

This is actually a good idea. But I don't think I'd appreciate Strato covering "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." More serious stuff would be better for them.

Thats where I got the idea, actually! Also, there is an album compilation called"Heavy Metal Christmas" which I saw listed in a catalog a couple years ago. I think Stratovarius was listed in the band names, but it did not state the songs each band played.
I would definitely buy a StratoChristmas Album in a heartbeat!

Yep, that was kinda silly---Koti singing a child's song!
Winter Wonderland would be a fine addition!

Maybe a song from Finland would be good to add---done in Finnish!

Have you ever heard any of the Stryper Xmas stuff? It's nuts.

Stryper did Christmas music?

I forgot to add "Joy to the World"......a good XMas song!!:D

I assume i wouldnt think about buying it.

Silent Night, Bodom Night...

"On the first day of Christmas, Stratovarius gave to me a Fright Night CD... etc"

or

"On the first day of Christmas, we got drunken.
On the second day of Christmas, we got even more drunken... etc"

Hey! This topic IS Serious!

OK
"Jingle Balls, Jingle Balls, Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ***********"

And if you think I'm gonna finish that in a public forum, you are nuts(no pun intended)!

"Kick my balls, kick my balls, kick my balls away."

To my knowledge, there is a particular traditional Finnish Christmas...march...or something. It's really fuzzy on the periphery of my mind, but i seem to remember having stumbled upon it years ago and including it on a yearly Christmas compilation CD i give to people....i don't really remember. Don't listen to me. I'm insane.

No, you are NOT insane. Thats what I am referring to. Since I think Santa is so respected in Finland, I expect that there are special carols created by the Finnish for the XMas holidays.

HAHA...

And yeah, Stryper did an Xmas EP or something, I can't remember... ANYWAY (this should go in the Confessions topic: I LOVE STRYPER. I just can't help it.)

Oh, that Heavy Metal XMas Album is,"Rockin' 'Round The Christmas Tree"!

Also add the Burl Ives classic,"Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas" and, "Frosty the Snowman"!
Hey---maybe this could be a StratoX-Mas DoubleCD Treat! :jump2: :luv3:

that theme album about christmas might suit for kotipelto because his wide singing voice, but hell no to Mr. Tolkki and others. They wouldnt never do that kind of funny stuff, i think

Christmas songs and leather pants= compination.

Nice idea thought. Merry christmas!

ME TOO!!!!!!!!! God i love Stryper. Stryper was the first metal i ever heard. I had tickets to their show recently, and i didn't get to go!! Because my transportation exploded! And I cried!! I cried because i missed Stryper!! I am so gay!!

This isn't the confession topic...oh.....

Really? Remember GREENSLEEVES on TTs CVAT?;)
Wonderful XMAS song!=P

As much as i want strato recording again...NO!!!

What a stupid idea! The ONLY rock band who has ever done such a thing - and got it right was SLADE.

Who cares what YOU think---I did not think YOU were into the REAL Christ-mas anyway.


Other songs which could work are:
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"
"Here Comes Santa Clause"

Ah, Come on! Get into the Spirit! Have alittle fun with this!

I tend to agree with Diego. Not an entire Christmas album. It doesn't seem totally appropriate for them. In smaller quantities, perhaps. Like, a christmas song. Or maybe not even that. Maybe a Christmas chord. Or maybe they could just incorporate a somewhat Christmassy modulation into one of their other songs. Or maybe Jorg could approach the mic and say "Christmas" once or twice.

hölmö helvetin tietämätön kristitty huora - kuka helvetti sä oikein luulet olevasi?

that puzzle should keep your small inbred mind occupied for about a month.

I'd probably cry too... but then, I actually AM gay. So there ya go...HAHA

HvyMtlClickWitch wrote:This isn't the confession topic...oh.....

Nope, but I think it may be turning into one,heh



Er, anyway... back to the topic...If they did do an xmas album, maybe they could do something like Finnish Christmas or winter-folky sorts of things instead of "jingle bell rock."?? Someone has probably already mentioned this, but I'm too delirious to go and check


PS Did you hear Tim Gaines left Stryper? Sorry... Jesus, what's with me and Stryper? I'm convinced that I wouldn't like them as much if I actually WERE Christian
