I'm not saying your music is planned, I have never thought that about your musical career, except for the self-titled Stratovarius album.TimoTolkki wrote:Of course I am lying. That's why I wrote albums like "Saana" and "Hymn to Life" or we did "Age of Aquarius" although we could have "planned" a power metal band. Instead of that, the music took its course despite what anyone would say so sorry but at least in my and AoA:s case you are wrong.Lurdi wrote:Of course it's a part of his life. Those who say they don't care whether their music like people or not, of course they are lying, otherwise they would just write and compose music for themselves to listen and play at home withous sharing it with anybody. That is ridiculous.icecab21 wrote:he said they won't have name conflicts.
I don't think tolkki bases his life on whether a few people like his songs or not.one thing... i think mr tolkki go back to old stuffs because all his new ideas don't work...
Also I dont think that Lauri Porra or Timo Kotipelto are sitting at home with calculators and notebooks planning "what kind of music people want to hear". It simply becomes what it becomes.
This is not to take away the fact that its a great honor when a fan buys your cd or concert ticket. But if the artist is planning the music in accordance to what is people's taste then in my opinion this is not good. But that's just what I think.
I was just saying that whoever says I do my own thing for myself it's a big lie. Everybody wants his/her music to be known, make gigs and see how people sing along with the band while they play and share their feelings and thoughts with the society, otherwise, as I said before, he or she would just compose and a write songs for him or her to play at home without sharing with anybody, and I am happy for that, fortunately those musicians and singers who I admire most have not decided to do that, and I can know their music
