So by reading the .asx file in the notepad, you can get the URL of the actual video and download it Thanks for thatOhMo wrote:the file extension is " .asx "

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
Oh god, that girl in the video is as hot as hell.
I personally don't like the song that much, I really don't like Kotipelto's voice in it, thanks god he doesn't use that voice in the rest of the album (opps I think I spoiled something ).

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
Yeah, it is hard to watch, with the shot moving about all the time.. but I guess it's fitting. I kind of feel like I miss something, though, and wanna rewind and use slo-mo.
About the thin girl - well, using conventionally pretty girls is one way to catch the eye of anyone watching and get them interested in the song... it's hardly a new trick. I don't say I like it, but that's just the way marketing works.
I like Koti's voice. I like when he uses the lower notes.

Right Click: Save Target As.
It just doesn't work...
I think its streaming from a file located only locally on the server, that cannot be directly accessed from the outside, only through streaming.
Or something anyway

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
view it from the main page
ok, my thoughts on the video
music: much heavier than before reminded me a lot of megadeth (a mix of trust and sweating bullets)
lyrics: very psychological (but really well made)
koti's voice: i like it, he can pull of low notes as well or better than the next singer
video: watch megadeth's trust, almost the same style...
overall: 8/10
i like it a lot, when i buy the cd it will be in my favorites list, but it wont be in my top strato songs (i like Fight a lot more)

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
the filming of the video is excellent ... but it doesn't have any interesting plot...
and the song i don't like it either...i thin maniac dance and gotterdamerung are the worst songs of the album
do you know if they are going to play any of the "new" album on their tour??

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
I cannot stream, because my download bandwidth is always near full. Plus, it is insanely hard to view the video again if I want to. Much easier with a complete file.
So please, someone upload the whole .avi or .mpeg or whatever to some place. We all need it. I want to see that video and I'm not interrupting downloads just for 4 minutes of crappy quality video and sound.

Why not buying the single when it´s released?

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
It's not in the stores yet. Releasing a proper .avi file would've been really easy, they decided not to, and I'm pissed. Sure I'll buy the single whether it has the video or not, but I want this video now.IceBreaker wrote:Why not buying the single when it´s released?

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
quite dark thing, sounds fresh and new. TK never sang like this, song is good, but I'm not ehusiastic about the video. It's just a set of pictures, no story, plot or action. Why the director is considered as a famous one?
But still, as long as it allows to promote this song and Stratovarius in media (specially TV) the task is done.

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
I don't like the song, because it's really boring. Not a good idea to make a boring song even more boring with a mostly black and white video. I just said what I think about the whole album, so I don't say anything more about it. In the past it was for me Stratovarius -> Sonata Arctica -> Nightwish. Now it's Sonata Arctica -> many other bands -> Stratovarius. I hope "Fight" will be the next single - no other song on the album is good enough for this.
Most of you are maybe hardcore fans, but compare the new songs to new songs of other bands. There are far better things than this album one can buy today. It is hard for me to write this, but I am very disappointed...

How can one song change an opinion about a band who has already released 10 albums ?

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
notice that europe isn't the only continent who has strato (and metal) fans of the world, there are many fans in south america who doesn't have the same benfits as people in europe and the same goes with the prices whic are 3 times higher, eventhough we continue buying cd'sIceBreaker wrote:Why not buying the single when it´s released?

@Solberg: You have a good point. But actually I meant that only as a reply to Latuman, who seems to be a Finn too.

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
Well, yes I downloaded the new album. And I am really looking forward to reading your comments about it, when its released. Of course I will buy it - but only to support the creation of the next album.MaFiaBoY wrote:How can one song change an opinion about a band who has already released 10 albums ?

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
This could be easily fixed! Just throttle the bandwidth for the download of some of that por.. I mean those ware... ahem, I meant all those open-source-project iso images and public domain literary worksI cannot stream, because my download bandwidth is always near full.
Also easily fixed! Buy the singlePlus, it is insanely hard to view the video again if I want to. Much easier with a complete file.
It's also easily fixed but I'll be damned if I'll tell you how to do itSo please, someone upload the whole .avi or .mpeg or whatever to some place. We all need it. I want to see that video and I''m not interrupting downloads just for 4 minutes of crappy quality video and sound.
If you feel there is something wrong in the world that can easily be righted, go forth and write that great utility that rights that wrong, don't complain here (to people who don't even own the masters anymore).
Sanctuary owns the master, it is properly their decision how to release the material (especially if some method of release is a cost for them). They wanted to do it streaming. End of story. I actually suggested Bittorrent to Kai. He wasn't so amused
I seem to think there is other material on the single as well, except for the video. Must check that i think, we should probably clear up about the various formats and configurations at some point.
I like the video! It looks a lot better in real bandwidth of course.

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
I bet, that there are programs, that can record the streamed videos. But I don't know, how good it is. Is it the same gross of megabytes (I mean, mebibytes )?

Re: Countdown to Maniac Dance Video Online
I finally got to see it--my son's computer is very slow about downloading.
I like the video, but I like some of the older ones better(KOJ, SOS, HHAL)and the band should've been in it more. The lady did a fine job! Anyone can see she was hired for more than her beauty--she has real dance talent.
All in all, I think it was a good Video--MTV(and David Letterman) will be proud to show it, because after USA tour, Strato, I feel, will become more popular here.
