How can you compare Halcyon days with that? And you say growling...sorry but that is the most pop thing inside the whole metal world, that is what most of teens want to listen, somebody singing with strange voice in the stage just to say, "you see!! this is metal"icecab21 wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49JVMCflD3c
this does not seem very pop performance to me
unless over in europe headbanging guitarists and growling vocalists dressed in black count as pop, but that's not different from what stratovarius guys do. stratovarius does not even have aggressive signing.
if two bands use some of the same stage moves it does not make sense to say they are doing different stage moves
from the songs ive heard they fit in with stratovarius songs like halcyon days, and i don't think stratovarius thinks its so out of place to tour. the crowds were moving in the videos i watched

And Stratovarius does not decide about the bands they play, it is the label.
And I understand the label, cause Amaranthe is a band that have some good fanbase right now and it is a good move.
Anyway i think it is time to move on for Stratovarius and start to think about doing again 90 minutes o 2 hours shows just about them and having just an opener and that's all.
You don't understand or don't want to understand what I mean, so enjoy with Amaranthe, I just said my opinion about a band I saw live, other people enjoy and thinks it is a fantastic band, it's ok, no problem. We just say our opinions. In the stage, I saw hundreds of teens jumping and singing and when Stratovarius started, many of them dissapeared and Stratovarius started the show and the thing was COMPLETELY different in every aspect, the venue was an earthquake! I suppose you are not used to that kind of sound, but if you know a little bit about dance songs styles in europe since 90's you will know that amaranthe is just another eurovision group of people playing with guitars and a growling voice just to say "we are metal". And no, it is not a coincidence that this band is from Sweden

And hey, I have nothing against the band, I just say my opinion and what I think about the band. They have tons of fans and they sell a lot of albums so maybe I'm wrong about it
