Rolf's very first live gig with Stratovarius...

[AAAAAAAAAA]

The band looks and sounds great! But that's only 2 of 5 senses.
I wonder how they smell, taste, and feel...
I withhold my enthusiasm until I have the complete picture.

[HinatAArcticA]

Hey Rolf

I love the pacing you give to the songs!
You own the stage! The new vibe of the band is amazing, and I'm saying this just by YouTube videos. I can't wait to see the band live again.

[hiro23]

he sounds freaking awesome, if these live shows are any indication whatsoever of how they will all sound together when they record the new album is going to be amazing.

Damn right--in fact, it will be EPIC!\m/

Hmm.. You waited too long to become a cannibal.

[hiro23]

Now it will really be hard for me to wait for the new album.

This explains a lot about you. Are you like one of those German cannibals who puts ads out looking for people to eat?

(For the record, I'm off the market, so you'll have to find your tasty meals elsewhere.)

But yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing the new lineup! Catch you guys on the road again soon!

To the both of you I have butt one word: PFFT!
You act as if I requested to chew on Lauri's femur bone. Not so! I merely pine for the opportunity to lick Jens' forehead, dab Matias's ankles, smack Rolf's armpits and gently whiff the space between Mr. K's toes. I will NOT penetrate the skin.


PS: the other day I actually watched a documentary about those cannibal germans. Fascinating that he attempted to make a stew out of the severed penis, but still found it too chewy. The buffoon! To forego the slow-cooker!

I have a question related to the MOR show checkin a set someone put on Setlist.fm it says they played Infinity this is true?

What is the best way to kill and eat each member of Stratovarius? I believe this is fitting for a thread of its own. For instance, I would certainly prepare Matias shawarma style but find Jens more fitting for a breakfast sandwich. Lauri I surmise would be tough and chewy; perhaps I would simply turn him into a gravy.

[NeonVomit]

[ÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖ]

And what can he be pining for?

[fernandotcl]

Eternity!

Damn, I want to hear this live so bad! Glad to see it back in the setlist!

An illusion just for me, or a proper reward and a chance?

[HinatAArcticA]

oooh Infernal Maze

I've always wondered... why don't they ever play it complete? It's always missing like 8 compasses at the end, a really powerful part of the song.

[Jabi]

I have been at my first Stratovariusconsert and it was SO fantastic. Today I am very hoarse. Yes I screamed.

Tonight I will go to my second Stratovarius-consert and i will try to scream as best I can. Finland is so awesome. Very clean and nice. The food is good.

tl;dr

[hiro23]

Either way the gig sounds awesome, I really hope they play a place near me at some point soon.

Yeah, I know, right? They don't seem to come to the US too often...

Well, not bad... These all "sounds" so delicious. And what will you do with TK and Rolff?

[Empathica1928]

Hope Stratovarius comes back to the USA for the next album tour... they didn't come here for Elysium... glad I at least saw Jorg once, on the Polaris tour..

[hiro23]

So if the guys in Strato are listening, we would like to request a US tour. Even if it's just a small one we would love for you to play here.

[Tero-75]

Unfortunatelly bands don't deside them selves where they play and especially they don't offer them selves anywhere. It's up to local promoters who deside which bands they contact and order to play. Promoters also make all necessary arrangements like book hotels, gig place etc.
You need to pressure your local promoters so they will order Stratovarius to US.

After all, someone has to pay the bill, and it isn't the band.

I know they were exited to tour in US before, and they would gladly come again. More gigs means more fans (and more money ofcourse).

[hiro23]

That's what I'll do then, I'll pressure as many promoters here as I can so that we will be able to see Stratovarius in the US again.

[brought2ubyletterC]

Agreed; whoever has the power to bring Strato back here, do it!

[hiro23]

Quick my countrymen to the concert halls.

[HinatAArcticA]

Strato loves Mexico, yes they do...






I don't...
