What song would you choose for Stratovarius to cover. It can be any song, any genre. Just let your whishes fly.
Mariano
Re: Non metal song for Strato to cover
Mmm... How about "Emerald Sword" from Rhapsody?? It would be very interesting, just imagine Stratovarius performing a 100% symphonic, epic metal song!
Also, I would like Strato to cover "Alien Nation", from Scorpions. The "Blackout" cover it's f*cking great!!!

Re: Non metal song for Strato to cover
I would like to hear a Fleetwood Mac cover simply because FM is my girlfriend's favorite band and I think Lindsey Buckingham is an awesome guitar player. I'm sure Timo T would sound awesome playing "I'm So Afraid", "Second Hand News" or "Go Insane".

Re: Non metal song for Strato to cover
Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin, I'm sure TK would sing it great. Or maybe some of the slower DT stuff, like The Spirit Carries On, Through Her Eyes or Wait For Sleep.

Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones. I'd love to hear Kotipelto singing with a "darker" voice again

I move for "Impression That I Get" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. :cyclop:

Re: Non metal song for Strato to cover
They already made a cover of a Scorpions music, but i will prefer:
- Rime of the Ancient Mariner of Iron Maiden or
- Keeper of the Seven Keys of Helloween.
Well it's my opinion, i think a epic song should be a good challenge.

Bah. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles all the way. And they could dress up correspondingly, too, and Mr. Tolkki could be Shredder.Twilightsymphony wrote:The ghostbusters theme of course!![]()

But now that i had think it twice, Kotipelto shouting COWABANGA!!! at the end of the song, is way better than that stupid "go go power rangers" thing, So Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wins by default....
BTW Jens must be used to his Green-colored- face, so i think that he would agree if they needed to color themselves as turtles.

Re: Non metal song for Strato to cover
You sir, have officially come up with the best idea ever, i would pay $100 for a song like that, Jens doing the song of time with his keyboard, or maybe "Forest minute", Tolkki doing the "Ballad of fire" with his electric guitar...Júlio tolkki wrote:the theme from zelda is good too, timo tolkki dessing gannodorf and kotipelto link auhuahauhahu, its a crazy idea, but good, jens play the ocarina with the keyboards playing the song of time and do a ocarina solo (with the keyboards) its good.

Well.. it would be exactly the same as if they play it by themselvesLatuman wrote:No idea. Something from Sonata Arctica would be fun.

I have to admit that i really dont care for melodic metal bands covering melodic metal bands...
@Clickwitch:

Tolkki as Shredder would be incredibly charming

Re: Non metal song for Strato to cover
I also don't think Strato should cover... "new" bands. Like Sonata.HvyMtlClickWitch wrote:Thank you for pointing out (what i thought was) the obvious, but apparently it's not the obvious to everyone.Twilightsymphony wrote:Well.. it would be exactly the same as if they play it by themselvesLatuman wrote:No idea.

I mean, come on people. Sonata are a great band, but their style comes from the music style Stratovarius started

I'd love to see Stratovarius cover more "rocky" songs, like they did with Priest and Rainbow.

Stairway to Heaven(if Dolly Parton can do it--Strato can!)
Something by Elvis
Some Country Song, like The Closer You Get by Alabama
There are many possibilities. I'll have to Think of specific songs and edit.
