Stratovarius Community

a bad Robin Williams movie

representative: Hi to all new ones!!!

Hi, I was new here last march, but I'm still a n00b.

Damn, I guess I'm still pretty much a n00b (newbie to all you non-geeks) here, so, here goes: (the uninteresting stuff)
I'm a 16y old Finnish High School student from Helsinki, Finland. My name's Tatu. And I have problems with it.
Anyway.. uh.. I've been listening to Strato for 2 years now, and I own most of the albums.
Strato was the first "heavier" music I ever listened to, and it opened my eyes to the whole metal scene that I had previously totally missed.

hey, look who found an introduction thread....

Anyways, my name is Steve Knight, Im 15, I live in San Jose California, I'm into metal (duh) ska and classic rock. I play the Tenor sax, electric guitar, and trombone. I'm currently playingthe tenor sax in a ska band called No Diving. We've got 3 recorded songs (all before i joined though )
I've got a website, www.thekingofawesome.tk and thats really about it.

Been here a while but I'm still pretty much a newbie. Don't know if I ever properly introduced myself....

Hi all, I'm the MetalMaiden. I'm from the US and have been a metal fan since Zepplin and Sabbath in the 70's. Discovered Strat in the late 90's when metal seemed dead here. Turned out it was alive and well in Europe! My list of favs is large but here's a few: Nocturnal Rites, Falconer, Persuader, COB, Dimmu Borgir, SA, Wuthering Heights, InFlames, Yngwie, Rhapsody, Wolf and of course Stratovarius

....see ya around!

Oh well, we had a Newbie Thread? Fine thing... *bump*

Hi to all!

After looking on 6 pages for this thread, I finally found it!

I'm a "newbie" at posting, but not as "reader", since I've been following this band for more than 8 years now, but for whatever reason, I couldn't register before.

Anyhow, I'll try to post worthly here.

Rock On!

Hi. I'm a newbie so I'd like to introduce myself:
I'm Peter, an 18 year old guy from Budapest, Hungary. I study economics at college; I haven't found it interesting yet, I hope that's because I'm in my 1th grade. I like movies and of course listening to music (especially Stratovarius). Other favourite bands: Sonata Arctica, Hammerfall, Nightwish, Guns N'Roses, Offspring.
My surname is Hollo, which means Raven in english, and CorvusCorax in latin, hence my nick.
That's all I wanted to tell you. I look forward posting here.

I'm a newbie as well and I look forward to being here !!

I'm from the US

I'm new here, I'm a guitarist/keyboardist who likes the typical things, getting drunk, going to concerts (not necessarily in that order) Xbox, huge music dvd collection. Massive cd collection. 4 synths, 8 guitars and a 5 string bass.

I recently replaced my old stereo with a Pioneer 7.1 surround system and I'm working towards buying more JBLs to crank!

I'm into way too many bands to mention

Hello! You are quite popular in Koti's Forum--I mean, you post lots! I did not know your nick here! WELCOME!!!! You know me as Guinevere at Koti's!

HI!
I´m 17 living in austria and my Name is Verena Carina (fortunately most people leave Carina away..) and my friends call me Meni.
There are only two sort of people who are allowed to call me Verena:
Those who don´t know me to good and those who i like very much.

I like Sonata Arctica, HIM, Edguy and Nightwish.

Oops i've never introduced myself here so here i go :

I'm a 18 french guy called Benjamin Dupré and my nick "dupinguez" is some colombian mutation from "Dupré". I play the piano in conservatory, try to sing (very bad), and play also drums and a very little bit of guitar...
I live in grenoble, france and i love metal obviously, especially strato, angra, gamma ray, iron maiden, helloween, and dragonforce

(i´m pretending to resurrect the newbie thread)

Patch Adams is very good!!!

I'm a 22 year old Montrealese(Canada). Stratovarius is my favourite band. I love video games and wanna be a video game producer as a career. I do some 3d modeling.

Hi everyone

I'm new here.
I am 17, and I live in Strasbourg (France)
I learnt classical guitar for 7 years until 2003, and I've been playing E-guitar since this same year. I play on a Jackson JS30RR (black).

I got into metal in 2004 summer, and I only listen to Heavy/Power metal.
The 1st band I disovered was Freedom Call, but my favourite band is Gamma Ray
I discovered Stratovarius by buying "Visions" some months ago.
I already knew 'Black Diamond" (the song from the registration ), and I wanted to hear more, and I wasn't disappointed
Then I downloaded some live videos (Raumanmeri 2004 for example) to see the band "in action" and once again I wasn't disappointed, and discovered some other songs, like "Speed Of Light", which must be one of my favourites, with the black thing of course ..
I hope to buy other albums soon.

To finish, here are my favourite bands (approximatively in order) :
Gamma Ray, Freedom Call, DragonForce, Nightwish, Rhapsody, Stratovarius, Manowar, Heavenly, Magic Kingdom, Angra, Lunatica, Forgotten Tales, Celesty, Helloween, Edguy.

See you in the posts



(sorry if my English isn't perfect, I'm good at English lessons at school, but not perfect )

Hi there! You are welcome!

Your English is good. And moreover, you know how to search on a forum. This is something, that 99.99% of the people forget to do before posting on a forum.

Willkommen--looks like a nice list of favourite bands

I just hope that you're not another comet..

Thank you

I'm rather a comet that crashed here (But a small comet ... I don't want to erase human race and all the great metal bands on this planet )

Nah then it's ok. And as long as you don't try to kill the Threadkiller-thread or get as much posts as I you shouldn't have any problems here
