Stratovarius Community

This topic is about mispronounciations or just plain mess ups that your friends or family have had when talking about Stratovarius. What kind of weird names have they come up with?

My brother used to call them Stratusvarius.. I think because of the car called the Dodge Stratus.

But most recently my fiance called them Stratovatarius hehe. I put on the song Father Time and asked her to guess what band it was. The only strato song she has heard is The Abyss of Your Eyes and she still guessed correctly. She just didn't say it right. =P

But its not so had to recognize Strato since Kotipelto has such a distinct voice.

Well, I lot of people I know sometimes have called them "Strato-ovarius", what is not funny to me , because they didn't say that for mistake, they did it just to anoying me. And they did it!

Well, but I can't be angry for that, I know...I just laugh now

I once called it Stratoverykoolbandbutnotasgoodasdragonforce...i think that was about 12 seconds ago.

Very good soldier.

Shit, I even remember posting on their boards when their site was barely starting up. I haven't been there in ages though... I wonder if my account is still available...

Who you post as?

EDIT: Well your account is still there by the looks of it

Haha, thats pretty crazy. Will probably head over there to see whats going on.

One thing I get a LOT is when people see the patch on my jacket they ask me if I play violin, or if it's in reference to the violin maker. Which is utterly ridiculous, on a lot of levels. Like, did you honestly think that the guy who made the violins was named Stratovarius??

Also, my boss always fucks up the name, badly. The most recent one I can remember was when she called them Strasovodius.

U really need a NOSE Htcdude, 'cuz u stink.


Couple of friends of mine called them: Xtracto-de-ovario.

It makes sense only in Spanish though...

Haha, thats a good one in spanish.. i'm gonna have to tell that to my cousin, he's probably the only spanish speaker i know that knows Stratovarius.

I guess your delusional phase hasn't progressed yet.

Never mind.

In terms of spelling, its spelled "Stratovarious" all the time.

I agree!

Thanx for the compliments guys

I've heard lots of ppl pronouncing the name as in Latin. The pronounce the u "ou", in english it would give something like "Stratovarioos"

I pronounce stratovarius like spelling it in spanish, is that correct?

A friend of mine was trying to pronounce their name and she ended up saying Strawberry.

@Miguel: Yes, in Spanish is correct.
