Re: Edguy - Space Police (April 18th)
Thoughts? The last Avantasia, Toby's latest release, was really good and Age of the Joker was a slight improvement over Tinnitus, but I'm going to guess we're getting more of the same as on the last 3 Edguy albums. Tobi has been saying that the album's the heaviest album that Edguy has had in a lon...

No Nemesis Live? I'm disappointed earMUSIC.

Keyboard help
Me and my friends are making a joke 80s hair metal band, and I'm moving back over to keyboard from bass, anyone have any good suggestions for some synths that would have the cheesy 80s sound but on the cheap side? I could of course just use samples on a newer keyboard, but I'd like to experiment wit...

Tolkki on the other hand, would absolute...

I'm saying that you don't try to differentiate yourself in this song from Timo Kotipelto's vocal style. I also commented that it might not be the right song to judge your vocals on, as it doesn't sound like a good fit for you. Outside of that, I still believe that the instrumentation is horrible and...

I actually really liked this cover, vocally you've handled it really well but from an instrumentation point of view I feel like there's still a lot to be desired. Also, I found the mix to sound a little too tinny, though that might just be the recording equipment. Outside of that, keep up the work m...

It's very hard to make me interested in SA these days, but I imagine these shows will be amazing.

Some minutes ago they played a whole Unbreakable -song at the Finnish radio channel Radio Rock. Very good song and my opinion is that it's the best single that Strato has made after Tolkki's departure. It sounded like Stratovarius, but there was a very fresh vibe in it.

Loving the videos, I can't wait until we have more people announced. Hoping that we have singers that we've never had in Avantasia before like James Labrie or Roberto Tiranti.
I doubt that'd happen, but they're both amazing singers.
