It's impressive. Congratulations!

No :zzz: sleep at all? Gee whiz, I love Stratovarius' music, but I've never lost any sleep over it--maybe I'm not as devoted as I thought. ???


:lol: Joking! ;) I'm just as devoted a fan as ever, I just have never thought of doing anything of that nature. :D 23 hours of Strato, straight in a row. WOW! :D

Great job, indeed! Did you do something special during that time? Did you discover something new in the songs or found a new favourite song? 8)

Well I enjoyed Episode more than I ever did... it's not my favourite album - dunno why.. but I just love Fourth Dimension.. but otherwise, I didn't discover much new.. I've listened to them enough for that :evil:

And even B.E.G. herself is impressed :) woot

Wow, not bad! That's a big fan! So you can sing all songs without the music and play it on guitar, 'right? :D
