Musical Productions That Are Not About Stratovarius

[Mr cool Edit]

Can I post my other videos in this section without causing a huge fuss? I mean, I think it would be best not to upset Mr. Johasson. I think he must be watching my behavior because my name has been tarnished to the core by a chaotic and unhealthy past. But I'm going to show him that it's not my fault the internet has become an open-world garbage dump over the years. I suffer from it daily, and as an IT professional, and he, as a famous keyboardist, must feel it even more than I do. He has what I don't; I'm just another guy who plays covers.

In my first sample today, from the section – THIS IS NOT STRATOVARIUS – I'm going to present this first video from Rhapsody Of Fire called “Flames of Revenge,” trying to create an epic atmosphere with epic images that can only be found in video games or in the minds of Luca Turilli and Alessandro Staropoli, nothing more.

This is a mix between Rhapsody Of Fire and little Timo Tolkki, why don't you dare to listen to it?

[Mr cool Edit]

The idea now is to be diligent, organized, and post one video from each section per day—I mean two videos, but eventually, I'm going to run out of videos. I have a lot on my PC, offline, in the "Audiovisual Production" partition. You know how hackers are, right? I had to deal with a Russian hacker, an Argentinian, and another from Chile, and all they managed to do was make me expose his location and IP address publicly on my YouTube account to warn those who survived the karaoke ban to be careful because they were stalking me. They only managed to hack Google Drive, Microsoft Cloud Drive, and Yahoo. By the way, I'm grateful to those companies for sending me alerts on my mobile phone.

I'm very structured; that's how I was raised. I have discipline and an unwavering will, but that doesn't mean I don't get tired sometimes, right?

This is a video called “Brothers In Arms” by Dire Straits that I turned into a peaceful protest against the war between Ukraine and Russia, a war made possible by the mentally deficient politicians of their country. If you don't like realistic videos, don't watch it because you'll just get upset because of me.

[Mr cool Edit]

This is a video I made when I saw that Nicolás Maduro was no longer in his dictatorial government of Venezuela. I thought it would be interesting to make a music-based informational video, but Donald Trump's work isn't finished; he left part of the dictatorship in Venezuela. The truth is, cancer is eradicated from the root, not just a part of it.

If you like dictatorships, are politically left-wing, or communist, don't watch the video because you won't like it.

It's Pink Floyd "Childhood's End" – Flavio's style, as always.

[Mr cool Edit]

Hey! Well, that was a really weird greeting because you already know me; I do the same stupid thing when I write tech articles on LinkedIn.

So, what does Timito "Mr. Cool Edit" Tolkki's voice sound like in the Italian band Rhapsody of Fire, part 2?

This is the latest thing I just uploaded; it's fresh out of the oven.

[Mr cool Edit]

I was running a little late today; I had to take care of my family. That's what happens when you're left in charge of the family when your parents can no longer do it.

Here's my cover of Rhapsody of Fire – “Warrior of Ice.” To be honest, I'm not entirely happy with the mix. I think I went overboard with the vocals; they're too noticeable for the genre. Besides, this cover is old, it's about a year old. I only improved the video, and doing it all over again would be crazy, so I left it as is.

More Tolkki singing Rhapsody, but if you notice, my voice is deeper and thicker than Timo Tolkki's. I'm not exactly the same as his fans say; Tolkki's voice is higher than mine. But hey, arguing about that with fans is like talking to a brick wall, so it's all good.

Hello, today is March 18, 2026, and it's 4:45 AM. I woke up early today because I have a lot to do, including deactivating all the junk on my junk phone, my great Motorola G22 from 2022, which cost 51,000 pesos, or $36.30, or €31.69 for Europeans. That's how simple I am, not to say POOR, and with the technological crisis the world is experiencing, this phone has to last me at least until 2030, because everything is seriously going to hell.

This is a song I made thinking about Stephen Hawking and his amazing brain. Just think about it for a moment: the poor man had a genetic condition that left him the way you know him, yet he was a genius. He lived against all the odds of science, was a teacher of teachers at the university, and a brilliant mathematician. When I decided to study Computer Engineering, I thought of him. I told myself, "If this broken-down man could do it, why can't I?" I already knew I was terrible at math, since my sound engineering degree was quite a struggle, to say the least. I enrolled anyway, but at least I'm not in a wheelchair or physically ruined.

Pink Floyd – Keep Talking, ladies and gentlemen, I can handle anything. I don't pay anyone beyond royalties if this is even a little bit successful.

I'm aware that most people hate my style and ideas, but that's why I don't get mad at anyone, and I don't compose. I'd be too stuck in the '80s, and I'd just wipe my ass with the new generations and their inexplicable musical tastes.

Another cover of Rhapsody of Fire, in my voice. Nobody liked this cover, but I love how it turned out. That's how messed up people are.

After a morning filled with more hacking attempts on my Microsoft OneDrive servers, this time, thanks to some miracle from our Lord Jesus Christ or our Lord Lucifer, the fallen angel so many metalheads worship, Microsoft installed more security on my accounts. It eliminated the attempt without even giving it a chance to breathe. I couldn't see where the hell that scoundrel came from, otherwise I'd warn you that there are people who enjoy committing crimes using other people's accounts.

Guys, I'm so fed up I'm practically carrying my own weight around on my shoulders. I DON'T HAVE ANY PRODUCTIONS ON SERVERS. If you want my stuff, you're going to have to…

1. Hack a Linux operating system with a password that, even with brute-force software, will take ages to crack. You'll probably die before you manage to hack my Linux. Not only that, but my productions aren't even stored on this Linux system, so even if you get in, you won't find anything. It's the only way you can access my PC since it's the only operating system with an internet connection.

2. The audio and video production system I use is a dual-boot system with Linux and Windows 7. As a security layer, I log in to Linux; Windows is just a burden, like it's a slave to Linux. I should also mention that music productions AREN'T ON WINDOWS EITHER, SO EVEN IF YOU PAY THE BEST HACKER IN HISTORY A FORTUNE, THEY'LL STILL FAIL, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ON WINDOWS EITHER. What's more, Windows doesn't even have internet access, so your only option is to go head-to-head with Linux, its automatic VPN, your ISP's VPN, a V6 IP address, and identify yourself with a network pseudonym that's more common than the name "Carlos" in Argentina.

If you're so brilliant, guess where the hell I have everything, you criminal masterminds? I'll leave you to think about it.

PS: I'm posting this message everywhere because I don't know who's obsessed with forcibly taking everything I have, and nobody even knows me. Imagine if I were as famous as Stratovarius; I'd be fighting hackers every minute of every day.

That said, let's get to today's video.

Do you like women? I'm talking about the kind who will do anything for money. Then this is your video. Enjoy it because it's just a video. To get these girls, you'd have to travel to the United States, New Orleans, and spend a fortune to acquire them.

2026 covers

[Mr cool Edit]

Ladies and gentlemen, this time I went into "soft metal mind," a cover of Jon Bon Jovi's "Young Guns II" from the "Blaze of Glory" soundtrack – the story of "Billy the Kid." I love the movie; the United States really knows how to make good things when they're not getting their fill of the mental retardation caused by the stupidities of Disney, Marvel, DC Comics, and other such nonsense that just throws money away.

What would happen if Timo *Mr. Cool Edit* Tolkki took a Nordic/South American hatchet to Bon Jovi's head, leaving him in a coma in a New Jersey hospital, and then started singing himself?

Well, this crazy thing you're listening to here happens.



Jon Bon Jovi's song "Santa Fe," released in 1990, is one of the most introspective and acclaimed pieces of his solo career. It is part of the album Blaze of Glory, which served as the soundtrack for the film Young Guns II, starring Emilio Estevez.

Origin and Context
The story of the song is linked to the creation of the entire album. Originally, Emilio Estevez asked Jon to use his band's hit song, "Wanted Dead or Alive," for the film about Billy the Kid. Jon felt that the lyrics didn't perfectly fit the tone of the film and, instead, decided to compose new material that better captured the essence of the Old West and the psychology of the outlaw.

Meaning and Narrative
"Santa Fe" is not just a geographical reference; in the song, the city symbolizes a place of redemption and a spiritual "judgment day." Central themes: The lyrics explore guilt, regret, and a man's search for peace as he confronts his past sins.
Metaphors: It uses language laden with religious and Western symbolism (such as "Judgment Day in Santa Fe") to illustrate the internal struggle between good and evil in the human soul.
Literary reference: The song begins with the line "They say that no man is an island," a reference to John Donne's poem that underscores the protagonist's connection to the rest of the world despite his emotional isolation.
Trivia
Cultural influence: The song and its lyrics are referenced in pop culture works such as the book and film About a Boy and the film High Fidelity.
Film cameo: While working on the film's music, Jon Bon Jovi had a brief cameo in Young Guns II, playing a prisoner being shot in a pit. Myth about Diane Lane: There is a popular rumor that links the lyrics to Jon's romance with actress Diane Lane in the 1980s, although the official context of the song is rooted in the outlaw narrative of the film.

The album Blaze of Glory (1990) wasn't just a side project; it was the moment Jon Bon Jovi demonstrated his ability to tell complex stories outside of his band's "stadium rock."

Here's a deeper breakdown of the song and the album: Lyric Analysis of "Santa Fe"
Unlike Bon Jovi's upbeat anthems, this ballad is a confession of defeat and a search for redemption.

The struggle with fate: The line "And I blame this world for making a good man evil" reflects Billy the Kid's view as a victim of circumstances and social injustice.
Judgment Day: The repetition of "It's judgment day in Santa Fe" suggests that the protagonist isn't running from the law, but from his own conscience. Santa Fe is the place where he must ultimately "pay his moral debts" before he dies. Metaphors of purification: The mention of "spirits" that poison his soul symbolizes the bad decisions and violence that have marked him.

The album: A cast of legends
For this album, Jon recruited musicians he admired to achieve a rawer, more organic sound:

Jeff Beck: The legendary guitarist contributed his distinctive slide guitar sound to the title track, giving it that authentic "western" feel.

Elton John: He plays piano and sings backing vocals on "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin'," a song Jon wrote about the loneliness of success.

Little Richard: The rock and roll legend participated in "You Really Got Me Now," contributing his characteristic energy to the piano and vocals.

The creative process of "Napkin"
One of the most famous anecdotes is that Jon wrote much of the material spontaneously. Actor Kiefer Sutherland recalled in an interview that, while the film's cast was eating hamburgers, Jon scribbled the lyrics to "Blaze of Glory" on a napkin in just six minutes, leaving everyone impressed by his ability to capture the spirit of the film.

[Mr cool Edit]

This time I bring you a Deep Purple cover, from the album, “Stormbringer.” – Soldier of Fortune.

We see what Jens says to all this, since he played with Richie Blackmore. But at this point I don't expect him to say anything, he's disappeared from the face of the earth.



The song "Soldier of Fortune" by Deep Purple is one of rock's most iconic ballads, released on the 1974 album Stormbringer. Despite not having been released as a single at the time, over the years it became a cult piece and one of the band's fans' favorites.

Composition and Creation
Authors: It was written by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and then-new vocalist David Coverdale.
Atypical style: The song moves away from the group's characteristic heavy hard rock sound, offering a soft and contemplative melody with blues overtones and medieval-inspired chords.
Internal Reception: Curiously, the rest of the band members (Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice) didn't like the song at the time, which created some creative friction.
Meaning of the Letter
The term "Soldier of Fortune" usually refers to a mercenary, but in the song it is used metaphorically:

El Vagabundo: The lyrics tell the story of a lonely and wandering man who reflects on his past and his aimless life.
Loneliness and Destiny: Describes the emptiness of someone who has always relied on luck or destiny instead of establishing deep connections with others.
Melancholy: Uses images such as a windmill spinning in the distance to evoke something eternal versus the narrator's transitory life. It has been named by some critics as one of the saddest songs in rock.

Legacy and Versions
Due to the personal affection of its authors for the subject:
Ritchie Blackmore continued to play it after leaving Deep Purple, including with his renaissance music project Blackmore's Night.
David Coverdale frequently integrated it into Whitesnake's repertoire.
It has been covered by artists of various genres, one of the most famous being that of the progressive metal band Opeth.

[Mr cool Edit]

This cover was made at a time in my life when I wanted to do whatever it took to investigate new horizons such as simulating an old production. I don't know if I managed it or not, but hey, how would Deep Purple look on my voice? It looks like this...



The video is basic, but from here, my ambition for more complex videos began.

The story of "Space Truckin'" is the perfect close to the golden era of Deep Purple's Mark II lineup (Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord and Paice). It is the last track on their most iconic album, Machine Head (1972).
Here I tell you the key points of its origin and evolution:
1. The concept: From "be-bop" to space
The lyrics were written by Ian Gillan. Originally, the band had a very rhythmic and playful musical structure. Gillan has said that the opening line "We got music in our solar system" came from an inside joke. The lyrics use trucker metaphors, but applied to intergalactic travel, capturing the '70s fascination with the space age (shortly after the moon landing).
2. Recording in an empty hotel
Like the rest of the album, it was recorded at the Grand Hotel in Montreux, Switzerland. As the famous Montreux Casino had burned down (a story told in Smoke on the Water), the band recorded in the hotel hallways using the Rolling Stones' mobile studio. The natural echo of the hallways gave Ian Paice's drums that powerful, cavernous sound.
3. Jon Lord's riff
Although Ritchie Blackmore is the guitar god, the soul of this song is Jon Lord's Hammond organ. Lord ran his keyboard through a distorted Marshall amplifier, making it sound as heavy as an electric guitar. That "dirty" sound defines the main groove of the song.
4. Evolution live (The Beast)
In the studio it lasts just over 4 minutes, but live it became a "beast" of improvisation.
On the legendary album Made in Japan (1972), they extended it to almost 20 minutes.
It became the vehicle for solo duels between Lord and Blackmore.
It was the song that closed his famous set at the California Jam festival in 1974, where Blackmore ended up destroying his guitars and blowing up an amplifier on stage.
5. Legacy
It is considered one of the fundamental pieces of Hard Rock and precursors of Heavy Metal due to its speed and the aggressiveness of the rhythmic base. It remains a fixture at any of the band's concerts to this day.

[Mr cool Edit]

This was the production I made thinking about the Deep Purple style. The truth is, I love this song. I also tried to create a "vintage" style. The drums are heavenly to me, and that's how it comes out in my voice.



With more beautiful girls for them to fall in love with in their country

"Fireball" is a fundamental piece in Deep Purple's discography, released in 1971 as the title track of their fifth studio album. It is considered one of the most innovative and energetic songs of the band's classic ("Mark II") lineup.

Origin and Composition
Collective Creation: It was composed by the five members of the classic lineup: Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Ian Gillan (vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards), and Ian Paice (drums).
Recording: It was recorded in London in March 1971, produced by the band themselves.
Lyrical Inspiration: The lyrics, written by Ian Gillan, are based on a story of unrequited love he experienced. They describe a mysterious and fascinating woman with "magic in her eyes" who has a hypnotic effect on the narrator. Technical and Stylistic Curiosities
The Opening Sound: The song begins with a mechanical sound that many mistake for a spaceship; in reality, it's an air conditioning unit turning on in the studio, recorded by engineer Mike Thorne.
Double Bass Drum: This is one of the few tracks where Ian Paice uses a double bass drum kit, giving it a speed and power unusual for the time.
Absence of a Guitar Solo: Unlike most of the band's hits, this song stands out for not having a guitar solo from Blackmore, giving the instrumental prominence to Jon Lord's organ.
Metal Pioneer: Due to its frenetic rhythm and heaviness, it is considered one of the seminal songs in the development of heavy metal.
Success and Legacy
Charts: It was released as a single in October 1971, reaching number 15 in the UK.

Album Context: The album Fireball reached number 1 on the British charts, consolidating the band after the success of In Rock.

Do you still like girls in skimpy outfits? Girls who jerk you off until you go crazy? Then this video is for you... just like Jon Bon Jovi's, you've seen how many artists sing to the women who make you dream for a few dollars... to put it mildly...

Ladies and gentlemen! How would Timo Tolkki sound singing in Spanish? Something like this, and on top of that, a cover of the Argentinian band Rata Blanca's "Mujer Amante" (Loving Woman)

English Lirycs:
I feel the warmth of your skin
On my body again
Shooting star, ignite my thirst
Mysterious woman
With your sensual love, how much you give me
Make my dream a reality
Give me your soul today, perform the ritual
Take me to the world where I can dream
Uh
I must know if you are truly
Somewhere
I'm going to look for a sign
A song
Uh
I must know if you are truly
Somewhere
Only the love you give me
Will help me
At dawn, your image fades
Mysterious woman
You left in me total lust
Beautiful and sensual
Heart without God, give me a place
In that warm, almost unreal world
I must look for a sign
On that path you walk
Uh
I must know if you are truly
Somewhere
I'm going to look for a sign
A song
Uh
I must know if you are truly
Somewhere
Only the love you give me
Will help me
Your presence marked my life Love, I know
It's hard to think of living without you
Heart without God, give me a place
In that lukewarm, almost unreal world
Uh
I need to know if you're really
Somewhere
I'm going to look for a sign
A song
Uh
I need to know if you're really
Somewhere
Only the love you give me
Will help me

The story of "Mujer Amante" is one of the most curious in Spanish-language rock, since Rata Blanca's biggest hit was born by accident, written in a bathroom, and almost didn't make it onto their album.

The origin: Lyrics written on the toilet
In 1989, a young Adrián Barilari had just joined the band and wanted to demonstrate his songwriting abilities.

The place: Barilari lived in a small apartment with a dog that wouldn't stop barking. Seeking silence to concentrate, he locked himself in the bathroom, lowered the toilet seat, and wrote the lyrics there.

Original title: Initially, the song was going to be called "Estrella Fugaz" (Shooting Star).
Melody swap: Barilari originally wrote the lyrics for a fast, heavy musical backing track given to him by Walter Giardino (the band's leader). However, Giardino decided that the lyrics fit better with a slower, softer melody, while the fast backing track ended up becoming the song "Haz tu jugada" (Make Your Play). From "Filler" to Global Phenomenon
Despite its quality, the band wasn't convinced about including it on their second album, Magos, espadas y rosas (1990).

Lack of time: The album needed to be at least 45 minutes long, according to the vinyl standards of the time, but it only reached 40. They decided to include "Mujer Amante" as filler to fill the time.
Initial rejection: The band considered the song too "soft" and inconsistent with their heavy metal sound. They even agreed that it wouldn't be released as a single.
The breakthrough: Contrary to their expectations, the song "broke through the metal audience" and became a massive hit on radio and television, propelling Rata Blanca to international fame in Latin America and Europe.

Key Facts
Album: Magos, espadas y rosas (1990).
Authors: Music by Walter Giardino and lyrics by Adrián Barilari.

Impact: It is considered one of the best rock ballads in Spanish and has sold millions of copies worldwide.

[Mr cool Edit]

More Rata Blanca covers... I don't know why I did it, or I don't remember it but the truth is that it's done, that's all

"The Gypsy's Dream" is one of the fundamental pieces of Rata Blanca, released in 1988 as part of their debut album of the same name. It was the song that allowed the band to break the barrier of the purely metal audience and reach a massive audience in Argentina.

Origin and Meaning
Composition: The song was written and composed by Walter Giardino, the guitarist and leader of the band.
Original Voice: Although many associate it with Adrián Barilari, the original version of the 1988 album was recorded by Saúl Blanch, who returned to the band urgently to complete the album after the departure of the previous singer.
Inspiration: According to analysis of the work, the lyrics use the mystique of gypsy culture as a metaphor for spiritual healing and redemption. The protagonist describes the gypsy as a magical figure capable of removing the "rust" from his soul and returning his lost passion.

Theme of the Letter
The song tells a mystical and deep love story:
Spiritual connection: The protagonist seeks relief for his loneliness and pain in the gaze and "mouth of fire" of the gypsy.
Predestination: The gypsy's ability to read hands is mentioned, suggesting a destiny where both must be together.
Atmosphere: Combines classic hard rock with neoclassical elements on Giardino's guitar, creating an epic and melancholic atmosphere that defines Rata Blanca's early sound.
Commercial Success
It was the band's first major mainstream success, helping their debut album sell more than 20,000 copies in just seven months, eventually achieving Gold Record status in Argentina.

Letter in English

Dance, gypsy, your strength will be
Source of my inspiration
In your eyes, in your mouth of fire
There is love

Remove the rust from my entire being
Give me back the passion
Give me your blood, it can make it beat
to my heart

Your lips can heal me
Wounds of time and perhaps
One day you will teach me the whole truth

Gypsy, you can read
my hands and thus know
May my love and your love
Together, they want to be

Where are those witches who yesterday
My strength, did they die?
Come help me, my sweet gypsy, to revive

Don't you realize how alone I am?
Come quickly, come to me
Only the perfume of your skin would make me
Dream, feel

It's hard to believe
How much do I need from you
I would like to have you, kiss your mouth

Maybe one day you will come
You will come to calm my pain
And your love, and my love
Together, they will always be

Dance, gypsy, beautiful and sensual
Give me your sweet truth
Give me memory, I no longer remember
what it is to love

I will wait for you and someday I will see
Your long skirts fly
And its colors will give new life
To me, you will see

Gypsy, you will always be
The strength that will save me
I hope you arrive
And together, fight

You must not deny your mission
What is written cannot change
My song warned you
I can only wait

Another video of Rhapsody Of Fire sung by Timo "Mr Cool Edit" Tolkki. I only need one more song, which is already in production, and then I'll complete the album "Legendary Tales"—or rather, I only need two more songs.

"Rage of the Winter" is a fundamental piece in the mythology of Rhapsody of Fire (known simply as Rhapsody in their early days). Its history is divided between its musical origin and its place within the fantasy narrative created by the band.

Origin and Musical Evolution
Original Demo: The song was born under the title "Invernal Fury" on the band's second demo, Eternal Glory (1995).
Final Version: It was re-recorded and renamed "Rage of the Winter" for their debut album, Legendary Tales (1997).
Symphonic Version: In 2017, the band released a re-recorded version on the compilation album Legendary Years, featuring vocals by Giacomo Voli.
Composition: The lyrics were written by Luca Turilli and the music composed by Turilli along with Alex Staropoli.

Context in the "Emerald Sword Saga"
The song is part of the first chapter of the Chronicles of Algalord.

The Plot: It narrates a specific moment in the journey of the Warrior of Ice, the chosen paladin destined to find the legendary Emerald Sword and stop the dark lord Akron.
The Meaning of Winter: In Turilli's narrative, the extreme cold of the north is not just an obstacle, but a purifying force. The Warrior of Ice must face the harshness and "fury" of nature to temper his spirit and prove himself worthy of wielding the sacred weapon.
Atmosphere: The lyrics describe icy landscapes, mystical lights in the sky, and the "majestic force" of the northern winds that guide and protect the hero's path.
Style and Impact: Musically, the song is an early example of the genre the band dubbed "Hollywood Metal," blending the speed of power metal with neoclassical and baroque arrangements. It is characterized by its complex instrumental bridges, dizzying guitar solos, and the use of epic choirs that reinforce the feeling of a fantastic odyssey.

[Mr cool Edit]

Let's go with another Rata Blanca cover, Timo "Mr Cool Edit" Tolkki singing "Rainbow Warrior", a tribute to the work of Greenpeace , because if you are not capable of taking care of our home, respecting other living beings and protecting our house, YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LIVING ON YOUR OWN WITHOUT DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN YOUR PATH.



"Rainbow Warrior" is one of the most iconic songs by the Argentinian heavy metal band Rata Blanca. It was composed by their guitarist and leader, Walter Giardino, and released in 1991 as part of their self-titled third studio album.

Here's the story and meaning behind this classic:
1. Inspiration and Ecological Message
The song is a tribute to the Rainbow Warrior ship of the environmental organization Greenpeace.

Context: At that time, the ship was a global symbol of the fight for nature preservation and had gained notoriety after suffering an attack by the French secret service in 1985.
Lyrics: It contains a powerful message against ecocide, describing the Earth as a being that "bleeds out" due to human unconsciousness.

2. The Cree Indian Prophecy
The name of the ship and the song comes from an ancient legend of the Cree tribe of North America.

The prophecy says that a time will come when the Earth will be dying and the animals will perish. At that moment, a "new tribe" of people of all races and beliefs will emerge and unite to heal the world: they will be known as the Rainbow Warriors.

3. Impact on the Band's Career
Consolidation: The album Rainbow Warrior was released at the peak of Rata Blanca's popularity, following the massive success of Wizards, Swords and Roses.
Historic Presentation: The album was launched with a massive concert at Vélez Sarsfield Stadium on December 28, 1991, solidifying Rata Blanca as the most important metal band in Argentina at that time.
Legacy: The song became an essential anthem at their concerts, standing out not only for its speed and virtuosity (power metal style), but also for its call for collective responsibility and the future of the next generations.

Lyrics:

Suffering from our ignorance
Perhaps I may die
The earth bleeds today
What will you do without its existence?
Help me, your being too
Is of this world
Your children will not be able to live
Amidst the pain
Let's fight against the fools
Who will bring about our end
Life is given by this earth
There is no other place
Help me, your being too
Is of this world
Your children will not be able to live
Amidst the pain
Warrior, only you can
Win with the truth
Let's fight for those who come after
To see happiness
Help me, your being too
Is of this world
Your children will not be able to live
Amidst the pain

Shall we hear more Rhapsody of Fire? This time Timo "Mr. Cool Edit" Tolkki sings... DARGOR!!!!!!!!...

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

The song "Dargor, Shadowlord of the Black Mountain" by the Italian band Rhapsody of Fire is a fundamental piece of the Emerald Sword Saga. It was originally released in 2000 as part of the album Dawn of Victory.

Lore and Meaning of the Story
The lyrics narrate the origin and nature of Dargor, one of the most complex characters in the saga created by Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli:

Tragic Origin: Dargor is a hybrid between human and demon. He was adopted and raised by the evil sorcerer Vankar of Helm, who poisoned his mind by making him believe that the army of the Free Kingdoms (led by the Ice Warrior) had murdered his family.
Duality of the Character: Unlike other pure villains, Dargor possesses a sense of honor and a "dragon's heart." The song highlights his internal conflict: he fights for the side of the Dark Lord Akron, but is disgusted by the cruelty and atrocities (such as the torture of Princess Airin and Prince Arwald).
Role in the Plot: Known as the Lord of Shadows of the Black Mountain, he commands Akron's demon legions. In "Dawn of Victory," Dargor leads the attack against Ancelot's kingdom, and although his army is defeated, he manages to escape, capturing Princess Airin.
Future Redemption: Although he is presented as a fearsome antagonist in this song, the seeds of his repentance are present. Later in the saga, Dargor discovers Akron's betrayal, becomes a key ally of the Ice Warrior, and finally ascends to godhood as the God of Light of Algalord.

Structure and Versions
Album Version: It is a symphonic power metal track with an epic chorus that proclaims its title and power.

Extended Version: Includes additional narration and instrumental passages that delve deeper into Dargor's journey to Hargor with his prisoners.
Re-recording: The band re-recorded this track in 2017 for the album Legendary Years, featuring vocals by Giacomo Voli.

Here's a cover of Pink Floyd's "The Fletcher Memorial Home," a cry against the Falklands War, accompanied by a video that blends real archival footage, satire, and a fused music video.

The Falkland Islands ARE ARGENTINE, no matter how much the British cry like crocodiles. Geographically, they are within Argentine territory, and despite what their stupid lawyers say, the facts prove the story wrong. The very nature of the land disproves them.

So, no matter how much they claim they belong to them, they don't. But this doesn't justify a mindless war that only resulted in victims on both sides. Thanks to their stupid politicians, both the Argentines for declaring an idiotic war as a consequence of a decaying military dictatorship, and the British for illegally usurping lands that don't belong to them.

"The Fletcher Memorial Home" is a central track from Pink Floyd's album *The Final Cut* (1983), written entirely by Roger Waters. The song is a biting political satire that reflects Waters' bitterness towards the world leaders of the time and their impact on society.

Origin and Meaning of the Name

Family Tribute: The name "Fletcher" is a tribute to Eric Fletcher Waters, Roger Waters' father, who died in combat during World War II in Anzio, Italy.

Ironic Contrast: Waters uses his father's surname—a private who gave his life—to name a fictional asylum where he proposes to imprison the powerful figures he considers responsible for wars.

The Plot and Political Critique
The lyrics imagine the creation of a retirement home for "tyrants and incorrigible kings."

"Oversized Children": Waters describes political leaders as selfish, immature children who play with the lives of others.
Characters Mentioned: The song explicitly cites historical figures such as Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Leonid Brezhnev, Richard Nixon, Joseph McCarthy, and Menachem Begin, among others.

More Timo "Mr Cool Edit" Tolkki singing Rhapsody of Fire?

check this, kids... TREMBLE FABIO LIONE, TREMBLE!!! 0___0!!, SEE THE TOLKKISH PAWA!!!

I made this production in 2023 when I was really into Queen. I love Queen, but unfortunately, Queen's producers are crap. Brian May sold their entire catalog of songs, and everything went to hell. The new record label is acting like real bastards.

This was an exercise in "modeling different voices from one using sound engineering techniques." In this case, I took my voice and made it sound like Roger Taylor. You know who Roger Taylor is, right? He's the drummer for Queen.

The song is a wake-up call and a cry against drugs and their associated problems, which can lead to serious mental health issues, such as bipolar disorder (I thought of Timo Tolkki and his alcohol addiction), schizophrenia, and smoking marijuana or other dangerous substances can lead to schizophrenia (this was the case with Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd due to his compulsive LSD use). And if not, you can die from your own vomit like Bon Scott of AC/DC. Just to name a few of the most famous: Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, John Paul Jones, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Janis Choplin, and I could go on and on listing names...

If you like drugs, you'll look down on me. If you're on drugs and want to get off, the video will encourage you. If you're not on drugs, it will motivate you to never use them.

This video was originally made in 2021. I was just starting my audiovisual studies career. Needless to say, this is a one-person project; there were no collaborators, and if I tell you what I used, you're not going to like it much...

This is the classic amateur production where someone asked for help and everyone turned them down, which made me angry at the time, so I did it alone, telling the whole planet to go to hell.

At that time, I didn't even know how to use Pro Tools. I only saw it in pictures and when Stratovarius uploaded a video of Matias Kupiainen recording something, and I wondered how good that software was compared to Cool Edit Pro!



Imagine doing a Therion chorus by yourself like this? I ended up recording myself 16 times. There came a point where I actually hated the song.

The sound quality is that of someone who doesn't have the right equipment, experience, or the mental strength to work so hard on just 4 minutes of a song. I was a workaholic, always striving to improve. That's my life; nobody helped me with anything, and I had to do everything through unwavering willpower and steely perseverance.

And I will present you my Audio Interface that i used to create this production:



Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the madman "Mr. Cool Edit" recorded almost 100 tracks with this interface and a 2010 PC that I'm still using because the only thing limiting me for now is the use of AVX technology, which my processor doesn't have and which I'll only use in my third or fourth year of computer engineering. And it's not that important because I can use my PC, terminal machine, and have a server do the AVX code rendering, and that's it. That's what professionals do; they don't push their own PCs to the limit, they push other people's. I learned that by studying "how far Mr. Cool Edit can push himself" with everything he starts doing.

For someone who's just starting out in sound engineering, I don't think it's too bad... that's why it's here as a moment of my days as an audiovisual student.
