Cheesiest Stratovarius song?

Post by tanis573 » Fri Jan 21, 2005 6:32 am

I'm gonna have to say Celestial Dream.

This has got to be the cheesiest line ever:

Where did all this come from?
The galaxies, the moon the stars, oh, I don't know
I really want to know what is the meaning of evolution

Allright, that made my laugh.
Don`t know, if I understand "cheesy" right, but I don`t think that Strato has any really cheesy songs.

Ehm.. I'd go for Fantasia, and the following line:

"How would it be? A world without hate
Without heaven, without hell
No wars, no arms, no religion, no God
Just your own truth."

I dunno.. I mean, I think that in this one, the cheesiness comes from the impossibility of such a world. I like the song though. Especially the "heavier" part. :)

I think CHEESY means: cheap, fake, contrived. I guess, ideas that we know do not actually exist in real world. ???
Some of the songs on E1&2 were like this, but the music&compositions themselves were good.

Oh c'mon it's not because something can't exist in real world isn't always bad, fairytales ans such are sometimes very good.

Maybe I'd say Before The Winter then, such love you only see in bad romance movies :D

What about that group Homer Simpson likes? I can't think of their name----they started out a fake parody, and became a hit! :)
SPINAL TAP--YES! That is their name!!!:D

But, back on topic---Full Moon by Strato is the utmost in weirdo cheese....:yuk:

Along with Thin Ice. This completely shatters (:D) Dreamspace-album imo. Another I can't stand is Freedom, it's just feelingless, as is Glory Of The World.

Well i realy don't understand the meening of cheesi, but if it is what browneyedgirl says, Rhapsody and Gamma-Ray don´t have any music without being cheesi...........

But if is just a music not well done i will say the music Bloodstone.

The thing that I love most about Strato is their happy songs. OTOH, I love all the weird darker ones too.

Is it my imagination, or is it that when a label chooses a single, they pick one of the less heavy/powerful and most happy ones on the whole album?

eg Eagleheart (I like it, but I think it was not the best choice of a comeback song after the break)

Victoria's Secret - that song is SO insipid IMO, Sonata Arctica have done so much better.

Nemo from Once... eh, what?

Or do they pick the ones that don't offend the gentle ears of the pop-fan radio listeneners? Pah.
The future is bright, and there's hope in the air,
Together we're singing, together we care.

Are you sure it is Spinal Tap and not GWAR? Because that description also fits GWAR.....;)

...Not that they belong on a thread about cheesy metal or anything....

Well, it's true. I translated cheesy with the help of a dictionary, and yes, it means that. Arty, corny, hokum are synonyms to cheesy. But Rhapsody is a good declaration for cheesy as well. :lol:

the song fantasia, while some thing it is cheesy, did anyone realize that it is about the place fantasia in the movie "the never ending story" in the middle of the song you hear a small child say "fantasia can arise in you", that is the voice of the emperess in the movie. i personally think it is a GREAT song....powerful.

i personally cannot think of a song that is cheesy, they all have such a meaning to them.

I recently saw that movie for the first time. I'm really trying hard to pretend i hadn't. That's the most terrible movie ever. :yuk: I spent most of the movie in denial about the Stratosong, but when i heard the *cough* 'empress' say that line, my life came crashing down. I really liked Fantasia a lot more when (in my mind) it wasn't attached to that godawful movie.

although i do admit the movie is not that great...the point of the song (so i believe) is that there is a place, everyone has it, where its just theirs...everyone has their own fantasia...no problems...everyone is getting along. its the exact oposite of the world we live in. instead of wars, the borders of hate are gone. i personally think this song is so powerful. it is actually one of my favorites

Yeah, this one is great too and the song itself is way better than Victoiria's Secret but I still prefer the secnd one's solo.
