Re: Is Amazon a reliable source to buy a used Visions CD?
Seems the seller is called momox shop, and they have a 92% positive rating over more than 20K ratings. I'd say you're good.

Re: What Ever Happened to Visions?
I think Future Shock, False Mesiah, Black Night and Goodbye are rather nice tracks.

Oh... also, what's wrong with Fright Night? It has some really nice more rocky songs.

Re: What Ever Happened to Visions?
Well, thanks mostly to my brother I own a physical version of every major Stratovarius album and also a couple oddities here and there
My Fright Night edition says COLUMBIA. Is that special?

Re: Sonata Arctica - The Ninth Hour
SA is just not the same without Jani. Cain's Offering delivers what's missing from SA. Wish it can become a permanent band with a dedicated singer. I mean, Cain's Offering is more Stratovarius II than anything else these days. Has as many original members (From the Visions lineup) as Strato and has...

Finnish Folk Music
Ok so... I'M SURE I made a post just like this a couple years ago, though it may have been at the now defunct Sonata Arctica Forum. I want to get pointers from those who know towards some nice Finnish folk music. For instance, I know about the Nuku Nuku lullaby, and then there's this song I don't re...

Re: Did Flavio kill the forum?
Nah, it was already kinda dead by the time of the great Tolkki/Strato dramas of the last decade. I've been seeing the same 20 - 30 people around and nobody else really. People haven't really paid attention to php forums since the advent of FB, Twitter and Reddit. That Flavio jerk just happened to be...

Re: Timo Tolkki to perform Strato/RR songs
I feel like Trinity was the pivotal moment of Timo Tolkki's career. That's the best collection of songs he put together this Millennium (Assuming that "Millennium and the rest of that album were written in 1999), and what does Tolkki do? Raids the bands remaining fund to try and launch an (admitted...

Re: Sonata Arctica - The Ninth Hour
This has the UNIA effect on me. I like it more with each listen. It's way better than Pariah's Child that much I know, and there's some really good portions of the record. The band is so much more mellow nowadays. Hardly the band from my favorite period ( Reckoning Night , Winterheart's Guild and UN...

Re: Why is Kotipelto alone?
If you really wanna know what how I feel, I think his personal life and/or relationships are not of our concern. We follow him as fans and enjoy his singing, but starting to speculate about his personal life? That's disrespectful imo... then again this is the Stratoforum, so I won't say I'm surprise...
