Black Diamond, Stratovarius live in Dublin 2009

[relicanth101]

I miss tolkki but Elysium was great I must admit. And Matias playing style works better with Jens aswell. But if jens left then strat would come to an end for sure in my opinion.

[TheManRocky]

I am feel so damn awesome after i see this video! :) because i have played with Matias Kupiainen live :P

[pitbull1981gr]

Bring Tolkki BACK!!! Last album was crap and I am a hardcore Stratovarius fan :(

[galvaomaiden777]

TIMO TOLKKI BACK please ² (Y)

[karateguitarkid]

bring back Tolkki please. (kinda impossible..)

[Fagleboo]

It's a lot tighter with Matias and anyone who says it's not don't know how 16ths are supposed to sound like.

[gabrielrnr]

WHAT EFFECT KEYBOARD IS THAT?

[konked]

It is "only" a modern synthesiser. Thanks to gadgets it is possible to have almost limitless amount of sounds behind pressing buttons instead of gathering piles of keyboards like they used to do...but the old school certainly looks cooler than this :) You can have several synthesisers in rack while handling them on a master keyboard.

[DeMitreN]

it's called harpsichord

[MichaelxAlexander]

yeah, i agree with mitsui990..the new cd is a masterpiece, and rejuvinated without Tolkki- awesome though Tolkki was. Stratovarius will always be the best and truly Stratovarius with Kotipelto on board, to my ears he is the most important ingredient in a magical combination of greats.

[thehead80]

i agree with u guys...i saw stratovarius in milan yesterday night...they were crazy...in the beginning they played destiny and i thought that kotipelto's voice wasnt that good as many yrs ago...but...after that song...WOW...everything was PERFECT...

STRATO FOREVER...new energy from them...

WINTER SKIEEEEEEEEEES LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOOOONE....

[MichaelxAlexander]

yeah STRATOFOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[yaestuvono]

thank u for uploading the video!

it's very cool!

they were awesome yesterday in Mexico

and yess Kotipelto said it: Mexico is the loudest crowd  ever " yeah!!

both Matiass and Lauri ruleeeeeee yeaaaah

[sean0775]

Much better live with Tolkki and Jari, but at least they're still playing real metal.

[ShadowVarius]

Can't wait to see Stratovarius this Wensday!

[Zaekencito]

Bands must evolve or die. Period.

[BoundWithDuctTape]

tolkki was the only original member of stratovarius left

[yrogerg256]

Fuck este guitarrista es muy sadico aparte de que improvisa bien tiene unas super tecnicas, y jens johansson esta mas sadico y eso unas improvasiciones muy buena

[Mitsui990]

Matias Kupiainen it's great!

I don't miss Tolkki at all! Last album is a masterpiece! :)

[diegoruya]

"Who Needs Tolki"????? Stratovarius is Timmo Tolki... Stratovarius died now are other thing

[Mitsui990]

Not at all, my friend!

Stratovarius are re-borned now! Listen to the last album and if you ain't a NERD, you'll be understand what I said. ;-)

[unanutriainfame]

re-borned? they are playing the same music from 1995 to our days...

[pipeto22]

yes, but stratovarius it's stratovarius with kotipelto TOO

[DALOL7]

amazing performance!

[JakeZilla86]

Who needs Tolkki when we got Matias Kupiainen <3 :)

[SoulCollectorInEbony]

Well he did write the song if I'm not mistaken, and about every other Stratovarius song :P

I hope both Tolkki and Stratovarius do great though.

[RevolutionGts4]

true, Timo Tolkki is a legend, but sometimes bands broke up, it's usual nowadays

[KizmiMcalien]

Jens Johansson wrote 7songs and Timo Kotipelto 3songs when tolkki was still there, Tolkki wrote all others

[RevolutionGts4]

is the "dot" your regular fuck? coz now you are fucking it

[Shireamica]

Kotipelto has so much fun <3 :D

[stratodan1990]

AWESOME !

[skikrysti]

[aitutaki04]
