Stratovarius at Wacken/Website Update

[Elazul]

Thanks a lot for the video Paulo

Hey Lauri is a pretty active guy, isn´t he ?

[Pikkusielu]

it does not work!

If you want to download it free, you will have to wait for one hour!

[Paulo]

Want me to upload it again to somewhere else?

Oh yeah, I said about the blurriness of the photos. It probably has something to do with the conditions, or the fact that people were crashing into Ellis while he was taking the photos.

With any luck mine should come out better. I'll let you know tomorrow when I get home to collect them.

P.S I've got some other video clips (not of Strat) that I'll upload for you.

Let's hope Beast_Pete comes&gives us a report of his observations&how the show went!

Yeah Yeah, I'm here to do so.

20 mins before the end of the EdGuy show, I went to the other stage. Waited an additional 5 mins... Within Temptation and an awesome concert came for about 1 hour or so... then more than an hour waiting... then finally: Stratovarius arrived. I managed to get into the first row. The bad thing was, that an asshole came to the same place at the same time (after WT left the stage), and he was trying to push me out from that place the whole time. He tried to tell me in Italian (as his English sucked ass), that he will punch me, if I don't leave the place for him, but unfortunately he didn't do so (the security would have picked him out). I bet, that he is not registered on the forum, but if yes, then I send him a "Fuck You!". :fuckoff:

So, they started at 22:20, Timo Tolkki came to his microphone, and the crowd was insanely happy. Jörg and Jens came as well. They started HHAL, Lauri came in, and then Kotipelto. The fans were shouting/singing really loud. I was in extasy and of course sang along with the band and with the others.
The next song was BD. No comment... just: fantastic!
The ending song was MD. It was quite good live. Hope to hear twice this year. (and I will, why wouldn't they play it, it's their newest single)

Unfortunately I don't have any pics taken from the gig, but you can see me on the pic, that was posted by Jens... but the fact is: I don't know, where exactly. The quality is not the best. But I was somewhere in the middle.


I bought some CDs in the Metal Market in Wacken.

Intermission: finally, the last studio album, I missed.
Visions of Europe: really an awesome album, but I have already heard it thousand times. I just needed to have it in original version.
Maniac Dance single: I have it in DigiPak version.
The Past and Now: guess the price! 20 euros... so 25 bucks. Not bad, I can say. And it is in a nearly perfect condition, and also, it's dedicated by the guys (with Lauri Porra on bass... he is the Now). Ladies and Gentlemen, you can all be jealous.

I found two LPs, but unfortunately I didn't have money left. They were: Fright Night and Stratovarius II. Yes, those two. Damn, I won't have this chance anymore. :S

I also bought a T-shirt. You can see me with the guitarist of DragonForce. (btw, he is an awesome man)

We met him too! Is his name Herman Li? Anyway we were watching Hammerfall and he was just walking around the arena. What a legend. :headbang:

Here's a photo of my mate with him.



Unfortunately I'm STILL waiting for my photos to come back so I don't yet have the one of me with him.
