Stratovarius - Stratofortress

[heavymetaljunkie95]

this song was on xionic madness

[StonerBawk]

I've always always wondered what would happend if you crossed a bomber with a guitar.

[Rawfies]

That's like, the first Power/Neoclassical metal song I've ever many years ago. This is so good, one of the best instrumental song of all time in my opinion.

[starecek77]

cooool...........



[masterdog29]

This is true music

[ahmednabil]

i love this band's instrumentals , because they make overwhelming music , but i dont like their vocal at all , too bad

[MrGorillerz]

Kiitos Suomi :D Thank you Finland

[Juggernaut485]

Purely Epic

[imcominforyou]

1:04  - 1:25 sounds a lot like the solo for San Sebastian by Sonata Arctica

[absolutelynot90]

26 unlike my ass

[Maskervart]

Divine...

[hypernova20]

is this a christian metal band? I cant tell. lol somebody tell me...some of the titles of there songs sound religious...maybe its just me

[Ivan96M]

@hypernova20 No, they are not achristian metal band... or at least they don't try to spread christianism. Wich songs did you refer to?

[hypernova20]

@Ivan96M They have a song called Holy Spirit or something....that sounds like a christian title,.,,,,,good guitar though

[Ivan96M]

@hypernova20 No, that's Holy Light and it's an instrumental. Stratovarius is not a band that tries to spread christianism; their songs are more about mother nature, space, life in general... even in the song Infinity they say something that gives you the idea that they're not so christian "See mercenaries of fear selling love, telling salvation comes from above".

[MIXOS888]

@hypernova20 check stratovarius(dot)c om. The \m/ is not christian. Just saying

[UrknallKosmogonie]

I HATE POWER METAL BECAUSE IT'S FANCY AND HAPPY, TWO THINGS STRATOVARIUS LACKS OF, THAT'S WHY I LIKE THEM.

[StiffWiff]

@UrknallKosmogonie uh this is both incredibly fancy and happy

[thebestmusicofall]

NECESITO MAS VOLUMEN MIERDAA

[toxicblood115]

So was there anyone else introduced to this band by a flash show called xition Maddness (may have misspelled it) or am I the only one?

[TwilightXSpark]

1:46 dat bass

[keepermesar]

Who is Sly??? I know Stratovarius a f****g time ago.... so who is Sly???

[psycicpowers]

Who is this "Sly"?

[Bubbafett250]

I'm not dissin' sly, but if you didn't know about this before him, then I'm sorry, but you need to find more music.

[Nerosdragon666]

@Bubbafett250 Not that i know who sly is, but so much this

[Akatsuki3555]

The part in 1:04-1:26 is my favorite thing about this song.

[nicksterminator6]

It is like I am having sex with the music. I mean honestly. Listen at 1:04. That riff? Sex. Musical sex. I accept all your money by Paypal, but please, when you throw your money at me, don't use coins

[nickjomaffa]

I believe I heard the voice of God whilst listening to this song

[UberGamer1030]

@nickjomaffa Oh lol, Icwhatudidthar. >.<

[AguynamedmeILIAS6]

If you are Greek from 0:42 to 1:02 you can realise it kinda sounds like Greek traditional music!

[monolithispure]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 this song was loosely based off of the greek sirtaki song or something like that if my memory serves correct

[AguynamedmeILIAS6]

@monolithispure exactly!

[aekpunx21]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 ZORMPAS!

[AguynamedmeILIAS6]

@aekpunx21 χαχα ακριβώς! ΣτραΖορμπάριους =)

[Fastopen]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 yeah! i'm not greek, but it sounds like Greek music

[DaryusOrigin]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 It sounds like the jewishs traditional songs too ;)

[greekmetaler]

@teofendy φιλαρακι δεν εισαι ο μονος !

[cobhc1986]

Am I the only one that clicked on this because I was looking for music I hadn't heard, and saw "Stratofortress" and immediately thought "B-52 Stratofortress bomber"?

[lukarelli11]

@cobhc1986 Not the only one...

[Th3RantDoctor]

Idk why but the riff at 0:51 makes laugh happily and jump up n down

[TheNeverendingfire]

wtf?? 1:47 listen to the bass line!! JESUS! and i'm not religious

[nintendosony1256]

This. Is. Art.

[goldenblueplayer123]

matt roszak one more final battle sent me here :P

[mourtadix]

MASTERPIECE .

[savon88]

Well... today i dicovered someting new....

STRATOVARIUS IS FUCKING EPIC!!!!!

[M1thotyn]

gggaaaaaayyyyy. Quick, someone get me some spandex and scrunchies so I can prance around kicking my legs out at people while showing them my perm.

[mav6771]

@M1thotyn Sorry, this isn't Justin Bieber.

[M1thotyn]

@mav6771 You're right, it's not. It's a bunch of homos in spandex kicking their legs in the air, teasing their hair and bending over in tights. Slayer would beat the fuck out of these homos!

[mav6771]

@M1thotyn Okay, well, that's your opinion. If you don't like them, why are you here? Go listen to Slayer if you don't like these guys. No need to hate.

[dominator7002]

@M1thotyn Slayer is incredibly overrated. And besides that, Slayer is more along the lines of thrash and death metal. What sense does it make to compare them to Stratovarius? I could see if this was Anthrax or maybe in a stretch Cannibal Corpse, then yeah, but this is Progressive Metal; Dream Theater, Opeth and such. Get your shit straight genius, then talk.

[M1thotyn]

@dominator7002 This is not progressive metal and is in NO way even in the same genre let alone sub genre. Neither is Opeth in that same genre as Dream Theater. I am always shocked at how so many people frequently link dream theater to things as if they're similar when they're not even close. How the hell is spandex wearing POWER METAL (dungeons & dragons) and a whiny grunge-wannabe acoustic band like opeth have in common with balls-to-walls, 6000mph technical psychotrip assault band like DT?

[dominator7002]

@M1thotyn

Wikipedia > Progressive Metal Bands.

Tell me, is Dream Theater, Stratovarius and Opeth on that list? Doesn't matter how YOU define it, they ARE progressive metal bands, whether you like it or not. The "spandex homos" etc. etc. people you're thinking of, is Hair Metal; Extreme, Twisted Sister...NOT Power Metal; which is Dragonforce, Children of Bodom, etc.

[shredabilly13]

@dominator7002 wikipedia also called miles davis a nigger. Just so you know I think you can not take wikipedia serial, totally serial about it. MBP

[dominator7002]

@shredabilly13 For the most part, Wikipedia's information is correct, but since anyone can edit whatever they like, you get things like that. Although some people do do a good job of keeping things clean and correct. In any case, I don't take Wikipedia "seriously", but most of it's information is correct.

[Blindkiller64]

@dominator7002 Stratovarius PROGRESSIVE METAL BAND? Are you sane? I think not. Stratovarius is a POWER METAL band. DT and Opeth are included into Progressive metal bands, but Stratovarius is not there. Do you know what Progressive metal means? It is based on severe tempo changes and rythms. Power Metal is based on the chorus, the speed of the guitars and solos and the melodies of the voices.

[dominator7002]

@Blindkiller64

2:23

THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE A SEVERE TEMPO CHANGE....

Also, one song does NOT define a groups genre. Have you even listened to any of their other songs...? Reign of Terror. Celestial Dream. Land of Ice and Snow. When Mountains Fall. Kiss of Judas. ...need more? I might be insane, but I'm not stupid.

[Blindkiller64]

@dominator7002 Actually, I've listened all the discography of Stratovarius... Stratovarius is a Power Metal band like it or not.

[dominator7002]

@Blindkiller64 Oh I'm sure you have. Just like I've climbed Everest all by my self.... Next thing you'll want to tell me is that Job For A Cowboy is Christian Rock....

[dominator7002]

@Blindkiller64

myspace(dot)com/officialstrato­varius

Go find "General Info", and do tell me what you see. I'd love to know the excuse for this....

[Blindkiller64]

@dominator7002 I'll still considering them as a Power Metal band. I think it's Power Metal, not Progressive.

[dominator7002]

@Blindkiller64 Well, that's you then.

[BlooDvAmpi3]

@dominator7002

@Blindkiller64

Instead of arguing, GO LISTEN TO THE GOD DAMN MTHRFCKNG AWESOME SONG!!

[dominator7002]

@BlooDvAmpi3 Psst. Hey. Jackass. THAT WAS THREE DAYS AGO! Way to bring up shit that was already settled....

[ManFriendly123]

@BlooDvAmpi3 You are right. Really gorgeous song. Fantastic!

[Rafals1993]

@dominator7002 dude,you obviously don't have any clue about progressive metal. Wiki is the last website I would be looking for a band's genre in. anyways, progressive metal is not all about technical solos like in Dream Theater. it's mainly about complex compositions, deeply inspired by the Prog Rock pioneers such as King Crimson,Rush, or ELP. I can't believe that anyone can call Stratovarius a prog metal band since they're one of the most typical power metal bands, still they're great.

[dominator7002]

@Rafals1993 Their official myspace says they're Progressive. The end. GET THE FUCK OVER IT. Obviously, it's you asses that don't have a clue about what shit is. I don't see any of you fucks getting on the dude who called it Hair Metal; at least I got it right. Please learn shit first before you go touting off bullshit you don't understand.

[dominator7002]

@M1thotyn Again, get your shit straight, then talk.

[martin32161]

[S4Overwin]

@Dante1563 Now that I notice it... Holy shit.

[mkillam53]

@Dante1563

Bach himself would bow down to the epicness of this \m/

[kolliasmalmsteenown]

@Dante1563 This is exactly why they call it neoclassical.

[Jadyn462]

@Dante1563 But it's one far more progressive... Bach to the Future, as it were.

[davis020392]

@Dante1563 No... I just hear a little Stratovarius in Bach xD

[khronos01111]

@Dante1563 joan sebastian bach is a god

[ValdemarDragunov]

@nicksterminator6 have you listen to warmen? try return of salieri. That reminds me of this. =D

[nicksterminator6]

@ValdemarDragunov I will definitely look them up. There is no such thing as too much powermetal

[nicksterminator6]

@ValdemarDragunov Holy hell. It sounds like the Megaman soundtrack mated with Stratovarius and gave birth to some sort of powermetal baby Jesus. One of my earbuds melted from the sheer EPIC music running through it

[Vocaloidonii]

sin palabras....

[CallOfDuty14ful]

@OgnarPliskin
