(Drum roll) and the new drummer is...

[Samovarius]

BTW Stratovarius is not the only finnish metal band with new drummer, Nightwish has new lineup, formula 1 driver Heikki Kovalainen on drums, Tuomas as bassist..

Sorry but I think that's a bit naive to believe. Why do so many bands suddenly decide they want to sound more heavy exactly when their lead singers start struggling with high notes?
I'm not judging Kotipelto, it's not a bad thing. Singers get old and hitting those high notes gets harder and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that and compensating by playing the older songs in lower key.

Then why would growl bands also have tuned down guitars??

no need to explode your brain , since you wont find good answer

This dicussion wasn't about tuning, it was about changing the tuning. Goddamit, am I stupid or is everyone else stupid? Don't answer that...

[AAAAAAAAAA]

is there a point to it other then pointing out something that's ultimately redundant?

I agree. Is there a point other than to be redundant?? :crazy2:

You misunderestimated me!!!

[joteke]

Great news! I'll be on the Tavastia gig.

Growl bands, and other bands too change tuning from E (normal tuning) sometimes as down as C#, to get heavier sound, its same for anyone, if you dont understand this than yes you are stupid

or you are just playing stupid to be a troll

The lower key, the better.

Fair enough, I don't listen to a lot of growling metal bands so I don't know how common this practice is in that genre. I still have doubts about that power metal bands with tenor singers do it mainly for the same reasons.

That's awesome news!!!

[Peace Warrior]

all the stratovarius albums were e flat, all the yngwie albums were e flat, all the bla bla bla blablaaa albums were e flat, hundreds ofd different bands, pleace axplain what did that have to do with tenor singers getting older??

you cant, cause the anser is that they just wanted heavier sound

[Samovarius]

Totally agree, peace warrior. But the storm on the waterglass began, cause Elysium is dropped c# and they play live nowadays also in c#. I am sure that reason is heavier sound, not TK's voice. But this is thread about Rolf, so i must say that Rolf used before to play with bands whose plays very low tune. So, go on with c#!

Sorry, maybe it's because English isn't my first language or because I just swallowed my sleeping pills that make me (even) slow(er than usual), but what the fuck was that?

[GAGAGO]

Do not blame your Enlish. It is in your head something is wrong. E-flat and blablaflat? :cyclop: :drop: :w00t: :w00t:

nothing to do with englisch, its cause you're stupid

[Mormegil]

I have to say I had my doubts about the ignore-funciton at first, but now I just love it. I wish every web site I visit had it implemented. <3

[Rebel]

I highly doubt that you "Had your doubts" about the ignore function, and find it much more likely that you "Had no good way to brag about using it".
Whatever, as long as people are happy.

[Mormegil]

I had my doubts that it would make the forum boring, because people would use it on everyone who annoyed them even a bit. Just imagine if NeonVomit and miditek were ignoring each other.

This is true!

Mental note to put on to-do list: "Enhance" the forum code so that it just crashes if NeonVomit tries to ignore miditek or vice versa.

On the other hand I get the feeling they quite enjoy bashing the fuck out of ea^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Htheir mutual civilized exchange regarding political and life views. Everybody wins!

[FindYourOwnVoice]

Pilve is a true modern metal drummer with amazing versatility! (is this how that word bends?)

[HoldenCaulfield]

Dear Rolf, I hope you ROFL a lot with your amazing new friends.

Yes, gotta do some tweaking to make the bashing and ignoring more fun! I also wish that when you do this, <3, that it turned into a heart, like on Farcebook--uh, I mean FACEbook...

Chances are that just by being yourself there is someone out there who doesn't like that.

[AAAAAAAAAA]

I guess some people just have bad personalities. :crazy2:

[hiro23]

All I can say from my personal experience is that I've always tried my best to do what I thought was right and while I've made friends because of that, there are also people who have just plain disliked me for it.
