Tony Kakko on Polaris?

[SentineLEX]

It says he did background vocals on Polaris but I'm never able to find his voice on those songs. Any of you know what parts of the album he sings on?

Nope, that's news to me

Yup. From the Wikipedia article:

And then Timo came to Sonata a second time to do backing vocals on tracks 1/2/5/6 as well, but that's audible. He's basically in every chorus on those songs doubling Tony's voice. Tony I can't hear on Polaris at all.

I guess he's merged into backing choirs like on the chorus of Deep Unknown.

Tony's vocals??
They are on Winter Skies, in the chorus after the solo... Of this info I'm 100% sure, but they are as noticeable as Kotipelto in I Have a Right (SGHN)

Oh yeah, he was there

But I find it somewhat useless when they have each other as guests in the far distant background where you can't even tell it's them

Thanks for the info, I would have never thought Timo sings "I have a right", I thought it's all Tony's voice. It's really hard (or even impossible) to divide their voices in this song

I didn't notice it on I Have A Right. I'll have to go back and listen again.

Seeing as how they're not doing so well lately, it's not like they have too much to lose, so why not

Don't encourage him.

Better than Pasi probably. I loved Pariah's child but the production was quite ass.

i take your word, i will happy to build a supreme sonata artica in post production

well, i need admit, sonata artica is a good band, stratovarius too. Bud the sound is a lot to one band

including, you can have a tons of variations to build extra material based in sound jobs, live sounds and extra versions.

I'M OPEN!! I CAN GOT YOUR VISION TO YOUR MUSIC AND WORK!!

Love what Avantasia does. Everyone has a chance to sing. If only Strato and SA do the same for each other....

[robocop656]

Next album : Flavio, farts and defecation, anal mixing.

Check min 4:07

But yeah, just as Tony in Winter Skies it'll be almost impossible to distinguish Timo during the chorus parts.

False News Travel Fast this ain't

[phoenix666]

In False News travel Fast Timo has a little, but very remarkable part in the vocals!
